Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rain shelter technology, specifically a convenient and fully retractable electric bicycle rain shelter. Background Technology

[0002] In China, electric bicycles are widely popular due to their affordable pricing and flexible travel features, becoming an important choice for short-distance daily transportation for urban and rural residents. While using umbrellas or wearing raincoats is necessary for rainy weather, these practices also pose safety hazards and can easily lead to traffic accidents. Against this backdrop, a special rain canopy for electric bicycles, designed to ensure riders have free hands, has emerged to address the safety and convenience issues associated with rainy weather travel.

[0003] According to the public announcement (CN222538947U), a convenient and fully retractable electric bicycle canopy is disclosed. This technology discloses that it "includes: a folding component, an extension component, an installation component, and a canopy fabric. The folding component includes two sets of folding frames and a support link. The folding frame is provided with a front end, a connecting part, and an end end. The folding frame includes a first link, a second link, a third link, and other technical solutions. The canopy can be unfolded and fully folded by the cooperation of the two sets of folding frames of the folding component and the installation component. When in use, the user can lift the folding frame upwards to fully unfold the canopy. When not in use, the user can pull the folding frame forward to fully fold the canopy. When fully folded, the volume is small and will not affect the wind resistance and passability of the rider."

[0004] While the above design allows for the unfolding and complete folding of the canopy, the lack of fixed support points for the canopy fabric at the front and rear ends of the frame results in a large fabric area, making processing difficult and costly. Furthermore, the fabric cannot be stretched taut, leading to poor aesthetics and wind resistance. The three central poles are all at the bottom without mutual support, making the canopy prone to twisting and deformation. The high position of the first set of extension components fails to block rainwater from the hands, further compromising practicality. Additionally, the connectors of the mounting components are fixed forward, creating a protrusion after folding, which is inconvenient for packing and express delivery. Therefore, we propose a convenient, fully foldable electric bicycle canopy to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a convenient and fully retractable electric bicycle canopy. It solves the problems of existing canopy frames lacking fixed support points at the front and rear ends, resulting in large canopy area, difficult processing, high cost, inability to be stretched taut, and poor aesthetics and wind resistance; the three central poles lacking mutual support at the bottom, making the canopy prone to twisting and deformation; the first set of extension components being positioned too high to block rainwater from the hands, resulting in poor practicality; and also solves the problems of the mounting component connectors being fixed forward, causing protrusions after folding that are inconvenient for packing and express delivery.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a convenient and fully retractable electric bicycle canopy, comprising: a folding component, an extension component, an installation component, and a canopy fabric;

[0007] The folding assembly includes two sets of folding frames and supporting links. The folding frames are provided with a front end, a connecting part and an end end. The folding frame includes a first link, a second link and a third link. The front end of the folding frame is hinged to the first link and the second link. The connecting part of the folding frame is hinged to each other by the second link. The end end of the folding frame is hinged to the second link by the third link.

[0008] The support link consists of three sets of links, which can be divided into a first middle link, a second middle link and a third middle link. The first middle link and the second middle link are respectively hinged to the second link on the two sets of folding frames through the first connector. The third middle link is respectively hinged to the third link on the two sets of folding frames through the first connector, so as to form a rear end support point that is fixedly connected to the canopy at the end of the folding frame.

[0009] The extension components are installed on the side of the folding frame away from the support link, and multiple sets are provided, with one set located near the first link and flush with the installation components.

[0010] The mounting component is hinged to the front end of the folding frame, and the mounting component is provided with an extension rod to form a front fulcrum that is fixedly connected to the canopy at the front end of the folding frame.

[0011] The canopy is fixedly connected to the extension assembly, extension rod and rear support point around its perimeter.

[0012] Preferably, the extension assembly on the side of the folding frame away from the supporting link is provided in three sets. The extension assembly includes a second connector, a fourth link and a fifth link. One end of the fourth link and the fifth link in two sets are hinged to the connecting part of the folding frame through the second connector, and the other end of the fifth link is hinged to the middle part of the fourth link.

[0015] Beneficial effects

[0016] This invention provides a convenient, fully retractable electric bicycle canopy. Compared with existing technologies, it has the following advantages:

[0017] This convenient, fully retractable electric bicycle canopy achieves multiple improvements through structural optimization. Regarding the canopy's fixation and performance, the extension rods of the mounting components form a front fulcrum, which, combined with the support rods forming a rear fulcrum at the end of the folding frame, and the side fulcrums of the extension components, ensures the canopy is securely fixed around its perimeter. This not only significantly reduces the canopy area, lowering processing difficulty and production costs, but also allows the canopy to be fully stretched, preventing wrinkles and improving both appearance and wind resistance. It solves the problems of existing canopies being large in area, difficult to process, costly, and having poor wind resistance. In terms of frame stability, the support... The third central rod of the connecting rod is moved to the middle position, cooperating with the other two central rods for support, effectively preventing the canopy from twisting and deforming. This improves upon the shortcomings of existing technologies where all three central rods are at the bottom without mutual support. In terms of practicality and transportation convenience, the extension component near the first connecting rod is flush with the mounting component, which can accurately cover the hand area. In rainy weather, it can block rainwater from the hands, preventing slippage and affecting operation. The connecting bracket of the mounting component is installed on the side of the two sets of sixth connecting rods that are close to each other. When folded, there is no protrusion, which facilitates packing and express delivery. This makes up for the shortcomings of existing canopies that are not practical and are inconvenient to transport after folding. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] like Figure 1-5 As shown:

[0026] A convenient, fully retractable electric bicycle canopy includes: a folding assembly 1, an extension assembly 2, a mounting assembly 3, and a canopy 4;

[0027] The folding assembly 1 includes two sets of folding frames and a support link 15. The folding frame is provided with a front end, a connecting part and an end end. The folding frame includes a first link 11, a second link 12 and a third link 13. The front end of the folding frame is hinged to the first link 11 and the second link 12. The connecting part of the folding frame is hinged to each other by the second link 12. The end end of the folding frame is hinged to the second link 12 by the third link 13.

[0028] The support link 15 consists of three sets of links, which can be divided into a first middle link, a second middle link and a third middle link. The first middle link and the second middle link are respectively hinged to the second link 12 on the two sets of folding frames through the first connector 14. The third middle link is respectively hinged to the third link 13 on the two sets of folding frames through the first connector 14, so as to form a rear end support point that is fixedly connected to the canopy 4 at the end of the folding frame.

[0029] The extension component 2 is installed on the side of the folding frame away from the support link 15. Multiple sets are provided, and one set is located near the first link 11 and can be flush with the installation component 3.

[0030] The mounting component 3 is hinged to the front end of the folding frame, and the mounting component 3 is provided with an extension rod 5 to form a front fulcrum that is fixedly connected to the canopy 4 at the front end of the folding frame. The mounting component 3 includes a sixth link 31, a connecting bracket 32 ​​and a fixing plate 33. The upper end of the sixth link 31 is hinged to the second link 12, and the lower end of the sixth link 31 is hinged to the first link 11. A connecting bracket 32 ​​is installed on the side of the two sets of sixth links 31 that are close to each other. A fixing plate 33 is installed on the connecting bracket 32 ​​and the fixing plate 33 is connected to the handlebars of the electric bicycle.

[0031] The extension component 2 on the side of the folding frame away from the support link 15 is provided with three sets. The extension component 2 includes a second connector 21, a fourth link 22 and a fifth link 23. One end of the fourth link 22 and the fifth link 23 of the two sets are hinged to the connecting part of the folding frame through the second connector 21, and the other end of the fifth link 23 is hinged to the middle part of the fourth link 22.

[0032] One end of the fourth link 22 of another group is hinged to the first link 11 through the second connector 21, and one end of the fifth link 23 of another group is hinged to the second link 12 of the folded frame through the second connector 21, and the other end is hinged to the middle of the fourth link 22.

[0033] The canopy 4 is fixedly connected to the extension component 2, the extension rod 5 and the rear support point on all four sides.

[0034] In this implementation plan: When using the convenient and fully retractable electric bicycle canopy, the fixing plate 33 in the mounting component 3 is aligned with the handlebars of the electric bicycle and fastened by bolts or buckles to ensure that the connection between the mounting component 3 and the handlebars is stable and without loosening.

[0035] Since the connecting bracket 32 ​​is installed on the side of the two sets of sixth links 31 that are close to each other, and the fixing plate 33 can be rotated to the inside, when the entire canopy is not used later and is folded and stored, it solves the problem of avoiding the protrusion on one side of the sixth link 31 during subsequent folding in the existing technology, thus facilitating packing and express transportation and improving the practicality of this structure.

[0036] By lifting the support link 15 at one end with one hand, the folding frame on both sides will unfold backward as a whole. At the same time as the folding frame unfolds, the fourth link 22 and the fifth link 23 cooperate to make the extension component 2 open to both sides. Moreover, the folding frame and the extension component 2 open synchronously.

[0037] The support rod 15 includes a first middle rod, a second middle rod, and a third middle rod. It unfolds synchronously with the folding frame through the first connector 14. The third middle rod moves to the middle position, which not only supports the end of the folding frame to prevent twisting, but also makes it easy to take out and install the canopy after folding. It also forms a fixed support point for the canopy 4 at the end. At the same time, the first middle rod and the second middle rod keep the two sets of folding frames symmetrically opened.

[0038] During the unfolding of the folding frame to the preset angle, the fourth link 22 and the fifth link 23 of the extension component 2 rotate synchronously around the second connector 21. A set of extension components 2 close to the first link 11 is flush with the mounting component 3. Since the mounting component 3 is mounted on the handlebars and is flush with the handlebars, this set of extension components 2 can also be flush with the handlebars. When the canopy 4 is installed, it precisely covers the hand area. When riding in the rain, the canopy 4 can effectively block rainwater from the hands, preventing wet hands from slipping and affecting brake and throttle operation, solving the practical defects in the existing technology, and improving riding safety and comfort.

[0039] Because the sixth link 31 has an extension rod 5 at the bottom, which can be used as a front fulcrum, together with the rear fulcrum and the side fulcrum of the extension component 2, the canopy 4 is fixed around the perimeter. Compared with the original design without fulcrums, the area of ​​the canopy 4 is reduced, the processing does not require complicated cutting, the production difficulty is reduced, and the cost is reduced. This directly solves the problem of the original canopy 4 being large in area and high in cost. Because the canopy 4 is taut around the fulcrums, it does not sag or wrinkle, and its appearance is flatter. The high-strength nylon webbing around the canopy 4 can bind the entire frame 360 ​​degrees, making the frame more stable and the wind resistance better.

[0040] This solution achieves multiple improvements through structural optimization. Regarding the fixation and performance of the canopy 4, the extension rod 5 of the mounting component 3 forms a front-end fulcrum, which, combined with the rear-end fulcrum constructed at the end of the folded frame by the support link 15, and the side fulcrum of the extension component 2, ensures the canopy 4 is firmly fixed around its perimeter. This not only significantly reduces the area of ​​the canopy 4, lowering processing difficulty and production costs, but also allows the canopy 4 to be fully taut, preventing wrinkles, improving both appearance flatness and wind resistance. It solves the problems of existing canopy 4 being large in area, difficult to process, costly, and having poor wind resistance. In terms of frame stability, the third support link 15... The central pole is moved to the middle position and works with the other two central poles to support each other, effectively preventing the canopy from twisting and deforming. This improves upon the shortcomings of existing technologies where all three central poles are at the bottom without mutual support. In terms of practicality and transportation convenience, the extension component 2 near the first connecting rod 11 is flush with the mounting component 3, which can accurately cover the hand area and block rainwater from the hands in rainy weather, preventing slippage and affecting operation. The connecting bracket 32 ​​of the mounting component 3 is installed on the side of the two sets of sixth connecting rods 31 that are close to each other. After folding, there is no protrusion, which is convenient for packing and express delivery. This makes up for the shortcomings of existing canopies that are not practical and are inconvenient to transport after folding.

[0041] It should be noted that the folding component 1 in this solution has the same structure as the folding component in patent document CN222538947U.

[0042] It should be noted that in this solution, the extension rod 5 component can also be omitted. One end of the first connecting rod 11 can be hinged to the middle of the sixth connecting rod 31, so that the lower part of the sixth connecting rod 31 forms a front end support point that is fixedly connected to the canopy 4. This solution adopts two methods, which can be flexibly selected according to actual usage requirements.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
