Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric vehicle technology, specifically to an electric vehicle central shaft structure that is easy to disassemble and assemble. Background Technology
[0002] The bottom bracket of an electric vehicle typically refers to the rotating component located inside the bottom bracket of the frame, used to connect the left and right cranks.
[0003] In the existing technology, the bottom bracket structure usually consists of a bottom bracket body, a sprocket, a bearing, and a plug. During installation, the bearing must first be installed on the bottom bracket, and then the plug must be installed. It is necessary to ensure that the bearing is located inside the plug. Then, the plug is screwed into the threaded groove reserved on the electric vehicle to complete the installation of the bottom bracket.
[0004] However, the above process requires numerous components, making installation inconvenient for users, especially when installing and positioning the bearings. If the bearings are tilted or misaligned, the overall structure may become unstable. Furthermore, by using threaded protrusions on the outside of the plug and connecting it to the vehicle body via a threaded connection, the connection between the plug and the vehicle may loosen over time due to use and the vibrations of the electric vehicle. Eventually, the plug may detach from its pre-drilled groove, causing the central axle to fall off and affecting the safety of the electric vehicle. Therefore, we propose an easy-to-install and disassemble electric vehicle central axle structure to effectively address these drawbacks. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an electric vehicle center shaft structure that is easy to disassemble and assemble, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: an electric vehicle central shaft structure that is easy to disassemble and assemble, including a central shaft body, with plugs fitted on both sides of the central shaft body, a sprocket fixedly fitted on the outside of the central shaft body and on the same side of the two plugs, and a pin inserted into the central shaft body and on the outside of the two plugs, the pin being used to limit the plugs to install the central shaft body on the electric vehicle.
[0007] Optionally, the two plugs are symmetrically distributed on the central shaft body, and the plugs are ring-shaped with their inner diameter matching the diameter of the central shaft body.
[0008] Optionally, both of the two plugs have inwardly recessed deformation grooves on their opposing surfaces. The deformation grooves are annular, and the outer annular wall of the deformation groove can be squeezed and contracted towards the inner annular wall.
[0009] Optionally, the central shaft body is provided with insertion holes for inserting pins. When two pins are inserted into the central shaft body, the two pins abut against the opposite sides of the two plugs to limit the position of the plugs.
[0010] Optionally, the pin includes two rods, one end of which is connected by an annular portion. The width of the annular portion is greater than the diameter of the insertion hole, and the ends of the two rods away from the annular portion are bent outward to form hook-shaped prongs.
[0011] Optionally, the pin is L-shaped and includes two rods. One end of each rod is bent outward to form a plate-shaped horizontal portion. The side of each rod away from the horizontal portion can abut against the side of the plug to limit the position of the plug.
[0012] Optionally, a mounting sleeve is fixedly provided on one side of the sprocket. The mounting sleeve is fitted onto the outside of the central shaft body and is fixedly connected to the central shaft body by bolts.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an electric vehicle center shaft structure that is easy to disassemble and assemble, and has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. The central shaft structure provided by this utility model does not require the use of bearings. During installation, the plug is simply inserted into the reserved slot on the electric vehicle, and then the pins are used for limiting. The two pins can cooperate with the inner wall of the reserved slot on the electric vehicle to limit and fix the plug in the slot. The installation process is convenient and quick.
[0015] 2. This utility model sets the pin's prongs in a barb shape, and the prongs and the pin body are integrally elastically connected, so that the prongs can recover their shape through elastic deformation after passing through the insertion hole, making the width of the prongs greater than the diameter of the insertion hole, thereby preventing the pin from falling out of the hole, improving the stability of the pin after installation, and improving the limiting effect on the plug, so that the plug will not fall out of the reserved groove due to the bumps and vibrations of the electric vehicle.

[0022] 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.
[0023] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 3 An easy-to-assemble and disassemble electric vehicle bottom bracket structure includes a bottom bracket body 1, with plugs 2 fitted on both sides of the bottom bracket body 1. A sprocket 3 is fixedly fitted on the outside of the bottom bracket body 1 and on the same side of the two plugs 2. The bottom bracket body 1, plugs 2, and sprocket 3 constitute the main body of a traditional bottom bracket for the installation of left and right cranks and chains.
[0024] Two plugs 2 are symmetrically distributed on the central shaft body 1. The plugs 2 are ring-shaped, and their inner diameter is adapted to the diameter of the central shaft body 1. The plugs 2 can slide axially on the central shaft body 1, and the central shaft body 1 can rotate inside the plugs 2.
[0025] Furthermore, both of the two plugs 2 have inwardly recessed deformation grooves 201 on their facing surfaces, and these deformation grooves 201 are annular. The plugs 2 are made of a material with a certain degree of elasticity, such as rubber. Therefore, the outer annular wall of the deformation groove 201 can be compressed and contracted towards the inner annular wall, allowing the plug 2 to be inserted into the pre-reserved slot on the electric vehicle and to achieve an interference fit with the pre-reserved slot, thereby preventing the plug 2 from falling out of the pre-reserved slot.
[0026] Furthermore, a mounting sleeve 301 is fixedly provided on one side of the sprocket 3. The mounting sleeve 301 is fitted onto the outside of the central shaft body 1, and the mounting sleeve 301 is fixedly connected to the central shaft body 1 by bolts. This facilitates the disassembly and maintenance of the sprocket 3.
[0027] Specifically, both the central shaft body 1 and the mounting sleeve 301 are provided with threaded holes for bolt insertion. The mounting sleeve 301 and the central shaft body 1 are connected and fixed by bolts to complete the installation and fixation of the sprocket 3, so that the central shaft body 1 can drive the sprocket 3 to rotate when it rotates.
[0028] In this embodiment, the central shaft body 1 is provided with insertion holes 101 for inserting pins 4. When two pins 4 are inserted into the central shaft body 1, the two pins 4 abut against the opposite sides of the two plugs 2 to limit the plugs 2. The pins 4 complete the limiting of the plugs 2, simplifying the installation process. The two plugs 2 are located between the two pins 4, so that after the plugs 2 are inserted into the reserved grooves of the vehicle body, the pins 4 can limit the plugs 2 in the reserved grooves by abutting against them, preventing the plugs 2 from falling off and causing instability of the central shaft body 1.
[0029] Furthermore, the pin 4 includes two rods, one end of which is connected by an annular portion. The width of the annular portion is larger than the diameter of the insertion hole 101, and the ends of the two rods away from the annular portion are bent outward to form barbed prongs. The two rods of the pin 4 are spaced apart, and the pin 4 as a whole has elastic deformation capability, allowing the two rods to be compressed closer together for insertion into the insertion hole 101. Similarly, when no external force is applied, the two rods can deform back to a parallel state, ensuring a tight fit between the two rods and the sidewall of the insertion hole 101, thus initially fixing the pin 4 within the insertion hole 101.
[0030] Furthermore, the pin on the pin 4 and the rod body are an integral elastic structure, which can achieve insertion and engagement through elastic deformation. This allows the pin on the pin 4 to increase its width through deformation after passing through the insertion hole 101, so that the pin cannot pass through the insertion hole 101 without external force. This prevents the pin 4 from detaching from the insertion hole 101, thus fixing the pin 4 inside the insertion hole 101 and improving the limiting effect of the pin 4 on the plug 2.
[0031] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the pin 4 is L-shaped and includes two rods. One end of each rod is bent outward to form a plate-like horizontal portion. The side of each rod away from the horizontal portion can abut against the side of the plug 2 to limit its position. When the user inserts the pin 4 into the insertion hole 101, the horizontal portion of the pin 4 faces away from the plug 2, preventing it from contacting the plug 2 and making the insertion process more convenient. Simultaneously, after the pin 4 is inserted into the insertion hole 101, both rods of the pin 4 abut against the side of the plug 2 to increase the contact area, thereby improving the limiting ability of the plug 2.
