[0002] With the continued growth in demand for urban commuting and leisure cycling, e-bikes are becoming increasingly popular due to their labor-saving and efficient characteristics. In particular, advancements in battery technology and power systems have significantly increased the range on a single charge, enabling users to ride longer distances and diversifying usage scenarios for commuting, shopping, and even short outings. However, in stark contrast to this trend, the design of the basket, a primary load-bearing component, has stagnated for a long time, resulting in a severe lag in development.

[0003] Currently, most mainstream e-bike baskets on the market have fixed structures and limited functions, generally suffering from insufficient storage space and rigid designs. These traditional baskets struggle to accommodate items of different sizes and shapes, especially when dealing with complex carrying needs during long-distance rides, such as simultaneously accommodating office supplies, shopping items, cycling gear, or personal clothing. Their limited capacity and fixed structure result in extremely poor expandability, preventing users from flexibly adjusting them to their actual needs. Furthermore, existing baskets typically only provide a simple storage space, lacking necessary functional partitions or modular interfaces, and cannot effectively integrate with increasingly intelligent e-bike systems. This disconnect between function and demand not only limits the user's riding experience but also diminishes the practical value of e-bikes in various applications. Therefore, providing a basket solution with a novel structure, high space utilization, and good expandability has become a pressing technical problem to be solved in the e-bike industry.

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of this utility model.

[0019] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] Example 1: Please see the appendix Figure 1-2 To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a bicycle basket structure, including a basket body 100 and at least one extension 300. The basket body 100 includes at least a first extension 110 and a second extension 120 that extend in different directions and are interconnected. The first extension 110 is provided with a mounting member 140 and is fixedly connected to the frame of a bicycle, moped, or electric vehicle through the mounting member 140. The basket body 100 is also provided with at least one locking structure, which is located at the first extension 110 and / or the second extension 120, and the basket body 100 is connected to the extension 300 through the locking structure to form a storage structure.

[0021] In this embodiment, the basket body 100 includes at least a first extension 110 and a second extension 120 that extend in different directions and are interconnected. The first extension 110 and the second extension 120 are two components constituting the frame of the basket body 100. Their extension directions are determined based on the frame mounting position and can be achieved by bending metal tubing or injection molding. For example, the two parts can be fixedly connected by welding or riveting to form a stable frame, primarily to provide a multi-directional mechanical support foundation. Further, the first extension 110 is provided with a mounting member 140. The mounting member 140 is a connecting component used to fix the basket body 100 to the frame. It can be implemented using a mounting panel, a hook structure, or a strap-type fixing device, such as a fixed mounting panel, primarily to ensure a reliable connection between the basket body 100 and the frame's fixing sleeve 210. A locking structure is provided at the first extension 110 and / or the second extension 120. The locking structure refers to the interface mechanism used to connect the extension component 300. It can be implemented using bolts, magnetic connectors, or elastic snap-fit ​​structures, such as the adsorption of a permanent magnet and a ferromagnetic material, or the engagement of a spring-loaded protrusion and a groove. Its main purpose is to enable quick installation and removal of the extension component 300 from the basket body 100. Furthermore, the extension component 300 refers to an attachable carrying assembly. In practical applications, the extension component 300 can be implemented using a foldable mesh bag or a modular basket. For example, a mesh bag made of elastic fiber material is used to hold irregularly shaped items, or a basket made of lightweight plastic is used to hold small items. Its main purpose is to expand the storage space to adapt to different carrying needs. Therefore, this embodiment, through the combined design of the basket body 100 and the extension component 300, allows the storage structure to be dynamically adjusted according to actual needs.

[0022] Specifically, the multi-directional extensions of the basket body 100 provide installation position options for the locking structure, ensuring overall balance when the extension component 300 is connected; the fixed connection between the mounting component 140 and the frame ensures structural stability during riding; the multi-position setting of the locking structure supports different extension types, thereby achieving on-demand extension of space capacity without changing the main frame, effectively solving the problem of insufficient storage space and inflexible expansion. As a preferred implementation method, the position selection of the locking structure is optimized based on the spatial layout characteristics of the extensions, allowing the connection process to be completed without additional tools, thereby improving the practicality of multi-scenario applications.

[0023] The overall operation of the basket structure is based on the dynamic combination design of the basket body 100 and the extension component 300. The basket body 100 includes a first extension 110 and a second extension 120 that extend in different directions and are interconnected. This non-parallel extension structure provides a multi-position mounting base for the locking structure through the mechanical distribution characteristics of different directions, ensuring that the extension component 300 can accurately match the shape of the items and maintain overall balance when connected. The mounting component 140 of the first extension 110 is fixedly connected to the frame of the bicycle, moped, or electric vehicle. Using the frame as the core support point, the basket body 100 remains stable during riding, avoiding the risk of structural shaking caused by the addition of the extension component 300. The basket body 100 is also provided with at least one locking structure, which is configured at the first extension 110 and / or the second extension 120. By forming a reliable connection with the extension component 300, it realizes the rapid reconstruction and functional switching of the storage structure, thereby breaking through the limitations of the fixed capacity of traditional baskets and allowing the space capacity to be extended as needed according to actual carrying requirements, adapting to diverse scenarios such as commuting and shopping.

[0024] In practical applications, for example, the locking structure can be specifically a threaded hole on the second extension 120, and the extension 300 can be specifically a detachable metal frame structure. This metal frame structure is fixedly connected to the basket body 100 by bolts engaging with the threaded hole, forming a temporarily extended storage area. Furthermore, the mounting part 140 of the first extension 110 is provided with a first mounting hole 141, which engages with the second mounting hole of the fixing sleeve 210 on the frame. The basket body 100 is securely fixed to the frame by bolts locking into the two holes, ensuring that the metal frame structure will not shift or loosen during riding. Thus, users can flexibly choose whether to install the extension 300 according to the size of the items. When long, narrow items need to be accommodated, the metal frame structure is quickly attached to the second extension 120, effectively extending the storage space; when no extension is needed, the metal frame structure is removed, restoring the basic basket shape.

[0025] This design, through the optimized layout of the locking structure in the first extension 110 and / or the second extension 120, allows the basket body 100 to adapt to the connection requirements of different types of extension components 300, significantly improving cargo carrying flexibility and space utilization. Specifically, the non-parallel extensions of the first extension 110 and the second extension 120 provide multi-directional installation possibilities for the locking structure, avoiding the expansion limitations caused by the single interface of traditional baskets. At the same time, the fixed connection between the mounting component 140 and the frame ensures the stability of the overall structure, effectively solving the problems of insufficient basket storage space and the inability to flexibly expand according to actual needs to adapt to diverse cargo carrying scenarios. As a result, users can dynamically adjust the storage function without replacing the entire basket, meeting the rapid response to complex cargo carrying needs during long-distance riding. In one embodiment of the above-described example, the included angle between the first extension 110 and the second extension 120 is a right angle or an obtuse angle. The included angle refers to the angular relationship between the first extension 110 and the second extension 120, which can be achieved using a right-angle configuration or an obtuse-angle configuration. The purpose is to optimize the spatial layout efficiency and structural load-bearing capacity of the basket body 100 by limiting the angle range, avoiding problems such as cramped internal space or stress concentration caused by improper angle design.

[0026] Specifically, the solution of this application limits the included angle between the first extension 110 and the second extension 120 to a right angle or an obtuse angle, so that the main body 100 of the basket forms a symmetrical and regular storage area after fixed installation. This avoids the problem of cramped internal space caused by the acute angle structure, allowing items to be distributed more evenly in the basket and reducing the risk of deformation caused by local stress concentration. At the same time, this angle selection simplifies the installation and adaptation process with the frame and enhances the rigid support capacity of the overall structure. The introduction of the obtuse angle further expands the usable space at the rear of the basket, providing more flexible accommodation conditions for long or irregular items. It can naturally guide items to extend in the direction of the extension 300, preventing items from slipping or being squeezed, thereby maintaining the stable shape of the main body 100 of the basket during dynamic riding.

[0027] As a specific implementation method, the solution of this application is implemented as follows: In one embodiment, the first extension 110 and the second extension 120 are perpendicular to each other to form a right angle; in another embodiment, the second extension 120 is inclined outward relative to the first extension 110 to form an obtuse angle, so that the rear of the basket presents an outwardly expanding profile.

[0028] Through the above technical solutions, the internal space of the basket body 100 is effectively optimized when carrying goods, the structural stability is significantly enhanced, and it can better adapt to the carrying needs of diverse items such as office supplies and shopping goods, evenly distribute the load, and reduce the problems of low space utilization and easy structural deformation.

[0029] In one embodiment of the above-described embodiment, the mounting member 140 is provided with a first mounting hole 141, and the first mounting hole 141 cooperates with the second mounting hole of the fixing sleeve 210 provided on the frame; the basket body 100 is fixed to the fixing sleeve 210 by bolts locking into the first mounting hole 141 and the second mounting hole. Mounting component 140 refers to the structural part on the basket body 100 used to establish a fixed connection with the frame. It can be implemented using a metal bracket or an engineering plastic reinforcement, with the purpose of providing standardized connection reference points to ensure consistent installation positions. The first mounting hole 141 refers to a through-hole structure provided on the mounting component 140, which can be implemented using a circular hole or an oblong hole, with the purpose of forming a precise alignment fit with the second mounting hole of the fixing sleeve 210. The fixing sleeve 210 refers to a sleeve-shaped support component provided on the frame, which can be made of cast aluminum or high-strength alloy material, with the purpose of accommodating bolts and providing a stable second mounting hole. The second mounting hole refers to a hole provided on the fixing sleeve 210, which can match the shape of the first mounting hole 141, with the purpose of guiding position calibration during the installation process. The bolt refers to a threaded connection used to apply tightening force, which can be implemented using a hexagonal head bolt or an internal hexagonal head bolt, with the purpose of providing uniform pressure distribution through adjustable locking operation.

[0030] Specifically, the first mounting hole 141 on the mounting component 140 and the second mounting hole on the frame fixing sleeve 210 are mechanically interlocked by strict alignment. This mating mechanism eliminates the cumulative deviation during installation and disperses the stress generated by riding vibration. When the bolt is locked into the two holes, uniform pressure is applied according to the hole position guide, which ensures that the connection strength is sufficient to withstand dynamic loads and retains the user's flexibility to quickly install and remove, thereby establishing a stable and adjustable fixed connection between the basket body 100 and the frame.

[0031] As a specific implementation method, the solution of this application is implemented as follows: the mounting part 140 is a stamped metal plate with a circular first mounting hole 141; the fixing sleeve 210 is a cast aluminum sleeve welded to the fixing position at the front end of the frame, with a matching circular second mounting hole; the bolt is a standard-sized hexagonal bolt, which fixes the basket body 100 to the fixing sleeve 210 by locking it into the first mounting hole 141 and the second mounting hole.

[0032] Through the above solution, this application ensures the precise alignment and long-term stability of the basket body 100 connected to the frame, effectively preventing loosening or detachment due to bumps or heavy loads during riding, significantly improving cargo safety, reducing the hassle of repeated adjustments for users, and meeting the reliable use needs of electric bicycles in diverse scenarios such as commuting and shopping. Example 2: Based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment further defines a basket structure. In this embodiment, see... Figure 3-5 The extension 300 is the outer frame; the locking structure is a first screw hole provided on the second extension 120, and the outer frame is provided with a second screw hole 301 that matches the first screw hole. The outer frame is fixed to the basket body 100 by bolts to form a storage structure. Figure 1 In the example shown, the first screw hole is... Figure 1 The first locking structure 131 in the middle.

[0033] The extension 300 refers to the outer frame, a frame-type load-bearing support structure, which can be made of metal tubing or engineering plastic profiles, such as a rectangular or arc-shaped frame. Its purpose is to extend the physical boundaries of the basket to accommodate larger or irregularly shaped items. The locking structure, the first screw hole, can be understood as an internal threaded connection interface provided on the second extension 120. It can be formed into a standard threaded hole using drilling and tapping processes. Its purpose is to provide a precise positioning reference and avoid installation deviations. The second screw hole 301 refers to the corresponding threaded hole provided on the outer frame. It can use the same thread specification as the first screw hole but a different hole diameter variation. Its purpose is to achieve automatic alignment during installation and reduce manual adjustment steps. The bolt fixing can be understood as a detachable connection achieved through mechanical locking elements. It can use a hexagonal head bolt with washers or a self-locking nut structure. Its purpose is to provide adjustable tightening force and ensure connection reliability during riding.

[0034] Specifically, the solution of this application uses a precise matching mechanism between the first screw hole and the second screw hole 301 to enable the outer frame to automatically align with the installation point according to the position of the first screw hole during installation, eliminating the risk of loosening caused by misalignment; the locking effect of the bolt is based on the friction self-locking principle of the threaded pair, which not only ensures the stability of the connection to resist riding vibration, but also allows users to quickly disassemble and assemble with simple tools; this structural combination makes full use of the standardized characteristics of threaded connections and the reliability of mechanical locking, simplifying the installation process of the extension part 300 to two basic operations: alignment and locking, effectively overcoming the operational complexity and connection instability problems caused by the general locking structure.

[0035] As a preferred embodiment, the solution of this application is implemented as follows: the extension 300 is a rectangular frame structure made of aluminum alloy tubing welded together. The locking structure is an M6 internal thread hole set on the second extension 120. The outer frame is provided with an M6 internal thread hole at the corresponding position. The outer frame is fixed to the basket body 100 by stainless steel hexagonal bolts. During installation, it is only necessary to align the outer frame with the first screw hole and screw in the bolt to complete the connection.

[0036] Through the above solution, this application significantly improves the stability and ease of operation of the extension component 300, effectively preventing loosening or detachment caused by vibration during long-distance riding, while simplifying the user's operation process for quick adjustment according to actual cargo needs, thereby enhancing the practicality and expansion flexibility of the basket structure in dealing with diverse cargo scenarios. Example 3: Based on Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2, this embodiment further defines a basket structure. See also Figure 6-8 The extension 300 is a storage component with a first locking structure 302; the locking structure is a second locking structure provided in the second extension 120, which is snapped and fixedly connected to the first locking structure 302, so that the storage component is fixed in the basket body 100 to form a storage structure. Figure 1 In the example shown, the second locking structure is... Figure 1 The second locking structure 132 in the middle.

[0037] In this embodiment, the first locking structure 302 refers to a mechanical interface component provided on the storage item for quick connection. It can be implemented using an elastic buckle, magnetic component, or rotating buckle structure. Its purpose is to provide a basic connection mechanism that can be completed without external tools for installation and disassembly. The second locking structure refers to a corresponding mating component provided on the second extension 120 of the basket body 100. It can be implemented using a slot 1323, magnetic adsorption surface, or sliding locking groove. Its purpose is to form a stable and repeatable locking relationship with the first locking structure 302 to ensure that the storage item remains in a stable position during loading.

[0038] Extender 300 can be either an extended basket or an extended backpack. An extended basket is a storage container made of flexible materials such as nylon, canvas, or elastic fabric. Its purpose is to automatically conform to the shape of items by utilizing the deformable properties of the material, avoiding the space wastage caused by rigid containers. An extended backpack, on the other hand, is a storage component with independent carrying capabilities. It can be designed as a backpack structure integrating shoulder straps and quick-release buckles, aiming to meet the dual needs of carrying items while cycling and retrieving items at the destination, thereby improving the adaptability of the carrying system to different scenarios.

[0039] Specifically, the solution of this application axially aligns the first locking structure 302 of the storage component with the second locking structure of the basket body 100 and applies a pushing force, so that the two are locked together at the moment of contact, thereby establishing a physical connection between the storage component and the basket body 100. When disassembly is required, the locking state is released by applying a reverse force, achieving rapid separation. This locking mechanism makes full use of the elastic deformation or magnetic adsorption characteristics of the mechanical structure, avoiding the rotation operation and tool dependence required for bolt fixing, simplifying the connection process to a one-way pushing or pressing action, significantly shortening the operation time and improving the smoothness of user operation.

[0040] As a preferred embodiment, the solution of this application is implemented as follows: the first locking structure 302 of the storage item is specifically an elastic buckle provided on the side edge of the storage item, and the second locking structure is specifically a slot 1323 provided in the second extension 120; when the user pushes the storage item into the basket body 100 in the horizontal direction, the elastic buckle undergoes elastic deformation after contacting the entrance of the slot 1323 and slides into the slot, and then returns to its original shape and is locked into the bottom of the slot to achieve fixation. The whole process does not require any auxiliary tools.

[0041] Through the above solution, this application enables users to install or remove the storage device within seconds when temporarily adding shopping items during their commute. This effectively solves the problem of delayed adjustment of the storage space caused by lack of tools or complicated operation, and significantly improves the convenience and adaptability of the basket in daily commuting, on-the-spot shopping and other scenarios. In one embodiment of the above-described embodiments, the second locking structure includes a snap-fit ​​plate 1321 and a locking plate 1322, the snap-fit ​​plate 1321 being provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 1323; the first locking structure 302 includes a snap-fit ​​protrusion 303 and a locking protrusion, the snap-fit ​​protrusion 303 being fixed to the snap-fit ​​plate 1321 along the snap-fit ​​groove 1323, and the locking protrusion being movably snapped onto the locking plate 1322 by a locking key.

[0042] The snap-fit ​​plate 1321 refers to the support structure used to set the snap-fit ​​slot 1323. It can be made of metal stamping or engineering plastic injection molding. Its purpose is to provide a stable installation base to enhance the reliability of the initial connection. The snap-fit ​​slot 1323 refers to the recessed channel formed on the snap-fit ​​plate 1321. It can be designed as a straight or arc structure. Its purpose is to guide the movement trajectory of the snap-fit ​​protrusion 303 and reduce alignment errors during installation. The snap-fit ​​protrusion 303 refers to the protruding part set on the object. It can be made of a cylindrical or rectangular cross-section structure. Its purpose is to cooperate with the snap-fit ​​slot 1323 to achieve quick initial fixation. The locking protrusion refers to the movable part used for safe locking. It can be configured as a spring-loaded or magnetic telescopic mechanism. Its purpose is to achieve reliable locking and unlocking functions through external drive. The locking key refers to a special unlocking tool. It can be designed as an L-shaped or T-shaped mechanical structure. Its purpose is to ensure that only authorized operation can trigger the movement of the locking protrusion, thereby preventing accidental unlocking.

[0043] Specifically, when an object is installed, the locking protrusion 303 slides along the slot 1323 into the locking plate 1321, achieving initial positioning and fixation. Subsequently, the locking protrusion is driven by the locking key to engage with the locking plate 1322, completing the final locking. In this step-by-step locking mechanism, the combination of the locking plate 1321 and the locking plate 1322 forms a double support structure. The constraint of the slot 1323 effectively eliminates the slight displacement caused by riding vibrations, while the key-driven locking protrusion ensures that the locked state can only be changed by a special tool, thereby collaboratively maintaining the stability and security of the connection in a dynamic riding environment.

[0044] As a specific implementation, the snap-fit ​​plate 1321 is made of stainless steel sheet by stamping and has a straight snap-fit ​​groove 1323 on it; the snap-fit ​​protrusion 303 on the object is designed as a cylindrical structure; the locking protrusion is configured as a spring-loaded pin, and the locking key is an L-shaped metal tool. After inserting into the locking protrusion, rotating it will drive the pin to retract and unlock.

[0045] The above solution effectively prevents the connection from loosening or falling off during cycling vibrations and provides a safety locking mechanism to prevent items from being accidentally operated or illegally removed, thus meeting users' actual needs for stability and anti-theft security. Specifically, in some embodiments of this application, a locking structure is proposed to be set in the second extension 120 to connect the extension member 300. However, in its implementation, since the locking structure is only located in the second extension 120, the user cannot install the extension member 300 in the first extension 110, which limits the expansion capability of the basket and makes it impossible to flexibly adjust the storage space according to actual carrying needs. Especially when there is a usable area in the first extension 110, the space cannot be fully utilized to accommodate items of different sizes and shapes, which weakens the practical value of the basket in multi-scenario applications.

[0046] Example 4: Based on Embodiment 1, Embodiment 2, or Embodiment 3, this embodiment further defines a basket structure. See also Figure 9 The extension 300 is a storage component with a first locking structure 302; the locking structure is a second locking structure provided in the first extension 110, which is engaged and fixed with the first locking structure 302 to fix the storage component in the basket body 100 to form a storage structure. Figure 1 In the example shown, the second locking structure is... Figure 1 The third locking structure 133 in the middle.

[0047] The first locking structure 302 refers to the structure on the extension 300 used to achieve quick connection. It can be implemented using elastic buckles, hook and loop assemblies, or magnetic units. Its purpose is to provide the convenience of connecting without tools, allowing users to adjust the storage space at any time according to their needs. The second locking structure refers to the corresponding mating structure set on the first extension 110 of the basket body 100. It can be implemented using slots 1323, recesses, or magnetic adsorption areas. Its purpose is to provide a stable installation base for the extension 300 and ensure connection reliability under riding vibration. Snap-fit ​​fixing refers to non-permanent fixing formed by mechanical snap-fit. It can be implemented using elastic deformation snap-fit ​​or sliding lock mechanisms. Its purpose is to balance installation convenience and structural stability, and avoid reducing user operating efficiency due to reliance on complex tools.

[0048] Extender 300 can be either an extended basket or an extended backpack. An extended basket is a storage container made of flexible materials such as nylon, canvas, or elastic fabric. Its purpose is to automatically conform to the shape of items by utilizing the deformable properties of the material, avoiding the space wastage caused by rigid containers. An extended backpack, on the other hand, is a storage component with independent carrying capabilities. It can be designed as a backpack structure integrating shoulder straps and quick-release buckles, aiming to meet the dual needs of carrying items while cycling and retrieving items at the destination, thereby improving the adaptability of the carrying system to different scenarios.

[0049] Specifically, the solution of this application configures the locking structure on the first extension 110 of the basket body 100, allowing the storage component with the first locking structure 302 to directly connect with the second locking structure at that location. When the user needs to expand the storage capacity, the first locking structure 302 of the storage component is aligned with the second locking structure of the first extension 110 and pressure is applied. The two form a stable connection through a snap-fit ​​mechanism, thereby creating an additional storage area on the basket body 100. This design effectively utilizes the space resources of the first extension 110, breaking through the limitation that the locking structure is limited to the second extension 120. It allows the user to flexibly choose the installation position according to the size and shape of the items. For example, when there is available space in the first extension 110, that position can be used first to avoid idle space, while maintaining a reliable connection between the basket body 100 and the extension 300, ensuring the stability of the overall structure under dynamic riding conditions.

[0050] As a preferred embodiment, the solution of this application is implemented as follows: The storage component is a backpack made of waterproof polyester fabric, and its first locking structure 302 is specifically a plurality of plastic buckles integrated into the bottom edge of the backpack; the surface of the first extension 110 of the basket body 100 is provided with a second locking structure, specifically an array of slots 1323 that match the plastic buckles. During installation, the user aligns the bottom of the backpack with the first extension 110, and presses it to make the plastic buckles elastically deform and embed them into the array of slots 1323. After the buckles reset, they form a snap-fit ​​with the slots 1323, and the backpack is then securely integrated into the basket body 100. In this embodiment, the backpack can be quickly disassembled to adapt to different scenarios, such as installing the backpack to store a laptop during commuting, and replacing it with a cloth storage bag to hold fresh produce when shopping. The distribution design of the slot array 1323 ensures that the backpack will not come loose due to bumps during cycling.

[0051] Through the above solution, this application can fully utilize the space resources of the first extension 110 of the main body 100 of the bicycle basket, allowing users to flexibly choose the installation position of the extension component 300 according to their actual carrying needs, effectively solving the problem of limited expansion capability caused by the single position of the locking structure. For example, when carrying office supplies and personal clothing at the same time during long-distance cycling, the backpack can be fixed to the first extension 110 to expand the vertical storage space, significantly improving the adaptability of the bicycle basket to items of different sizes, and enhancing its practical value and user experience in multiple application scenarios. Example 5: Based on any one of Embodiments 1-4, this embodiment further defines a basket structure. The locking structure includes a first locking structure 131, a second locking structure 132, and a third locking structure 133; the first locking structure 131 is a first screw hole provided on the second extension 120 for connection with the extension member 300; the second locking structure 132 is a locking structure provided on the second extension 120 for connection with the extension member 300; the third locking structure 133 is a locking structure provided on the first extension 110 for connection with the extension member 300.

[0052] The first locking structure 131 refers to the hole structure for bolt connection provided on the second extension 120, which can be implemented in the form of a through hole or a threaded hole. Its purpose is to provide a reliable mechanical connection for the expansion member 300 that needs to be installed securely. The second locking structure 132 can be understood as the structure for quick snap-fit ​​provided on the second extension 120. It can be implemented in the form of a slot 1323, a buckle, or an elastic snap-fit. Its purpose is to facilitate the user to install or remove the expansion member 300 without tools. The third locking structure 133 is specifically the snap-fit ​​structure provided on the first extension 110. It can be implemented in the form of a snap-fit ​​mechanism similar to the second locking structure 132. Its purpose is to expand the connection point position to adapt to the installation needs of the expansion member 300 in different orientations.

[0053] Specifically, the solution of this application achieves diversified locking functions by setting multiple types of locking structures on different extensions of the basket body 100. The first locking structure 131 is located in the second extension 120. Utilizing the structural strength characteristics of this part, it can withstand the fixing stress brought by the bolt connection, ensuring the stability of the extension 300 during riding. The second locking structure 132 is also set in the second extension 120, but based on its spatial layout characteristics, it provides a tool-free quick-connect function, making it convenient for users to quickly replace the extension 300. The third locking structure 133 is set in the first extension 110, expanding the orientation of the connection point, allowing the extension 300 to be installed in different directions, thereby optimizing space utilization. This combined design allows users to choose to use one or multiple locking structures simultaneously according to actual needs, effectively solving the problem of insufficient expandability caused by a single locking structure.

[0054] As a specific implementation method, the solution of this application is implemented as follows: A first screw hole is provided on the second extension 120 of the basket body 100 as a first locking structure 131 for connecting the outer frame extension 300; at the same time, a slot 1323 is provided on the other side of the second extension 120 as a second locking structure 132 for engaging the items; in addition, a locking plate 1322 is provided on the first extension 110 as a third locking structure 133 for fixing the extended basket. Users can, as needed, use the first locking structure 131 alone to install the outer frame to increase rigid loading space, or use the second and third locking structures 133 simultaneously to connect the items and the extended basket, achieving partitioned placement of multiple items.

[0055] Through the above technical solutions, the basket structure can support the simultaneous connection of multiple extension components 300, which significantly improves the flexibility and utilization of the storage space. Users can quickly configure different extension combinations according to actual cargo needs, avoiding operational inconvenience and space waste caused by a single connection method. Example 6: Based on any one of the embodiments 1-5, this application also discloses an electric bicycle, including: an electric bicycle body, a frame, and fixing sleeves 210 at the front and rear ends of the frame; and the aforementioned basket structure, wherein the mounting part 140 of the basket structure is fixedly connected to the fixing sleeves 210 so that the basket structure is fixed to the electric bicycle body.

[0056] This invention achieves a stable connection between the aforementioned basket structure and the fixing sleeve 210 on the frame, allowing the basket to be dynamically adjusted according to actual carrying needs. This solves the problems of insufficient storage space, rigid shape, and poor expandability of the basket, thus improving its practicality for various applications. Specifically, the design of the fixing sleeve 210 provides a standardized installation interface, ensuring the basket structure remains stable during riding, while supporting the coordinated operation of the basket body 100 and the extension component 300, effectively adapting to carrying scenarios with items of different sizes and shapes.
