Detailed Implementation

[0017] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "length," "width," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. The various embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0018] Please see Figures 1 to 7 The present invention preferably provides the following technical solution: a bicycle front rack basket, including a front rack basket body and a detachable mounting bracket for connecting the bicycle frame and the front rack basket body. The mounting bracket includes a support base with elastic hinge and a back buckle. The support base is used to place the front rack basket, and the back buckle is used to engage with the back side of the front rack basket body and restrict the longitudinal movement of the front rack basket body. The front rack basket body includes a hook 08 disposed on the front side of the bottom of the front rack basket body and bent forward. The hook 08 is used to restrict the lateral movement between the front rack basket body and the support base.

[0019] In this embodiment, the linkage design of the elastically hinged support base and the back-side buckle restricts the longitudinal movement of the front shelf basket. Simultaneously, the forward-bending hook 08 on the front bottom of the front shelf basket restricts the lateral movement between the front shelf basket and the support base. Because the front shelf basket is restricted both longitudinally and laterally, it can be firmly fixed to the frame, effectively avoiding the risk of loosening and falling due to single-point fixation failure on bumpy roads. Furthermore, the mounting bracket offers excellent ease of installation and disassembly, allowing for manual operation.

[0020] In some embodiments, the mounting bracket further includes a connecting plate 12; a screw assembly disposed at one end of the connecting plate 12 for assembly with the fork mounting hole of the frame; a support rod connected to the other end of the connecting plate 12 relative to the screw assembly for assembly with the brake base; and a crossbar 20 disposed in the middle of the connecting plate 12, wherein the support base is fixed at both ends of the crossbar 20.

[0021] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown in Figures 4, 5, and 6, the connecting plate 12, where the mounting bracket is located, has a screw assembly at one end that can be assembled with the fork mounting hole of the frame, and a support rod at the other end that can be assembled with the brake base. This achieves a triangular and stable support between the mounting bracket and the bicycle frame. This design cleverly utilizes the two standard interfaces of "fork mounting hole" and "brake base" that most bicycle forks have, making it compatible with most bicycles on the market with V-brakes / caliper brakes, including mountain bikes and urban commuter bikes, making it highly versatile. On the other hand, by utilizing the principle of triangular stability, the force is distributed to the more robust parts of the frame itself through the two solid points of the fork mounting hole and the brake base, avoiding concentrating all the load on a single mounting point. This greatly improves the load-bearing capacity and overall structural strength, preventing the bracket from deforming or breaking due to long-term load. A crossbar 20 is fitted in the middle of the connecting plate 12. Support bases are fitted at both ends of the crossbar 20. These support bases act as a "tray" at the bottom of the front shelf basket and bear the main weight. Combined with the forward-bending hook 08, when the front shelf basket is lowered, the hook 08 engages with the front edge of the support base, preventing the front shelf basket from slipping forward or to the sides during riding. The back-side latch, which is elastically hinged to the support base, can expand or retract using its elastic hinge characteristics. When the front shelf basket needs to be assembled, the back-side latch can be flipped upwards and engaged with the back of the front shelf basket, effectively preventing the front shelf basket from jumping upwards or tipping backwards. This design has the following advantages: First, it offers excellent ease of installation and disassembly. Users can easily install or remove the basket in seconds by simply operating the back buckle, without needing any wrenches, screwdrivers, or other tools. Second, the basket can be quickly removed when not in use, restoring the bicycle's clean appearance; and it can be immediately installed when needed, greatly enhancing the product's practicality and user experience.

[0022] Secondly, it has excellent connection stability and safety. This application uses a triple insurance of “support base load-bearing + hook 08 lateral limit + back side buckle longitudinal locking” to firmly fix the front rack basket to the frame, effectively avoiding the risk of the front rack basket loosening and falling due to single-point fixation failure on bumpy roads.

[0023] Third, the installation process of this application does not require drilling holes or making any modifications to the frame, thus maintaining the integrity of the bicycle. It is especially suitable for high-end or new bicycles. Users do not need to worry about damaging the frame warranty or aesthetics. For manufacturers, there is no need to develop multiple mounting brackets for different models. One model can cover most of the market, simplifying production and inventory management.

[0024] Furthermore, the screw assembly includes a connecting hole 13 formed at the rear end of the connecting plate 12; and a screw that passes through the connecting hole 13 and is threadedly connected to nuts at both ends of the screw.

[0025] The screws and nuts used here are existing, mature technologies and will not be described in detail. When it is necessary to fix the connecting plate 12 to the front fork mounting holes of the frame, as follows: Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 4, first, the screw is passed through the connecting hole 13 and the fork mounting hole. Then, the two nuts and washers are tightened towards the center to fix the connecting plate 12 to the position of the frame fork. This design utilizes the mounting holes that are inherent on the bicycle fork, which are usually used to install mudguards or lights, to provide the first solid anchor point.

[0026] Furthermore, the support rod includes a connecting rod 14 fixed to the front end of the connecting plate 12, with both ends of the connecting rod 14 bent backward and fixed with connecting pieces 15 respectively; and a first support rod 02 and a second support rod 03 rotatably mounted on the two connecting pieces 15 via a rotating shaft, wherein the ends of the first support rod 02 and the second support rod 03 away from the rotating shaft are bent inward and symmetrically fixed with perforated mounting pieces 19, and the two perforated mounting pieces 19 can be aligned with the holes of the brake base and the connection between the support rod and the brake base is completed by the screw washer provided with the brake base.

[0027] like Figure 1-6As shown, the first support rod 02 and the second support rod 03 are rotatably installed at both ends of the connecting rod 14. The other ends of the two support rods are symmetrically fixed with perforated mounting pieces 19. When the positions of the first support rod 02 and the second support rod 03 are adjusted so that the two perforated mounting pieces 19 are aligned with the holes of the brake base, the screw washers on the brake base can fix the perforated mounting pieces 19 to the brake base and form a second anchoring point.

[0028] It is worth noting that the second anchor point here can form a stable triangular support with the first anchor point mentioned above, effectively resisting the left and right swaying and forward tilting moment of the front shelf basket.

[0029] Furthermore, the support base includes a seat 01 fixed to the crossbar 20, the front end of the seat 01 being closed and forming an arc-shaped area, and its rear end bending toward each other.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the front end of the seat 01 is closed and forms an arc-shaped area so that the forward-bending hook 08 can be inserted and pushed forward to the lower front side of the seat 01.

[0031] Furthermore, the back-side buckle includes two locking rods 17, wherein the front ends of the two locking rods 17 are fixed with corrugated locking frames 05, and the rear ends of both are bent downward and respectively have a connecting shaft 18 built in; and a torsion spring 04 sleeved on the outer periphery of each connecting shaft 18, and one end of each torsion spring 04 is connected to the rear end of the seat body 01, and the other end is connected to the locking rod 17.

[0032] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the corrugated clip frames 05 fixed to the front ends of the two clip rods 17 can snap into the back of the front shelf basket. Each of the two clip rods 17 has a connecting shaft 18 internally located on its rear side. A torsion spring 04 is provided on the outer periphery of the connecting shaft 18, one end of which is connected to the rear end of the base 01, and the other end is connected to the clip rod 17. Therefore, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, the corrugated clip frames 05 can snap into the back of the front shelf basket. Figure 5 When the back side latch is opened counterclockwise, the corrugated clip 05 can engage with the groove on the back side of the front shelf basket. Figure 1 As shown in the diagram, the elasticity of the connecting shaft 18 will cause the corrugated frame 05 to be tightly inserted into the front shelf basket body that is limited by the bottom, thus realizing the installation of the front shelf basket body.

[0033] Further, the front shelf basket body includes a front basket 07, wherein the hook 08 is fixed to the front side of the bottom of the front basket 07; and a handle 10 rotatably mounted on the top of the front basket 07 via a pin; and also includes a handle foam 11 disposed in the middle of the handle 10, such as Figure 1 , 7 As shown, the design of the handle 10 and the handle foam 11 here makes it easy to lift the front basket 07.

[0034] Furthermore, two vertical rods 09 are also provided on the rear side of the bottom of the front basket 07. The two sides of the connecting plate 12 can form two independent limiting areas in front of the two vertical rods 09. When the hook 08 is inserted into the arc-shaped area of ​​the seat 01 from top to bottom and from back to front, the two vertical rods 09 simultaneously insert into the two limiting areas to complete the lateral limiting of the front basket 07 on the seat 01. Figure 1 As shown in the diagram, the hook 08 and the two vertical bars 09 are positioned within the area of ​​the seat 01 in front of the horizontal bar 20, thus achieving multi-structure reinforcement of the front basket 07 in the lateral direction.

[0035] On the other hand, a mounting bracket is also provided, which is detachably assembled with the front rack basket of the bicycle front rack basket; the mounting bracket includes a support base with elastic hinge and a back buckle, wherein the support base is used to place the front rack basket, and the front edge of the support base engages with the hook 08 of the front rack basket to restrict the lateral movement between the front rack basket and the support base; the back buckle is used to engage with the back side of the front rack basket and restrict the longitudinal movement of the front rack basket.

[0036] In this embodiment, the linkage design of the elastically hinged support base and the back-side buckle restricts the longitudinal movement of the front shelf basket. Simultaneously, the hook 08, which bends forward on the front bottom side of the front shelf basket, restricts the lateral movement between the front shelf basket and the support base. Because the front shelf basket is restricted both longitudinally and laterally, it can be firmly fixed to the frame, effectively avoiding the risk of the front shelf basket loosening and falling due to single-point fixation failure on bumpy roads. Furthermore, the mounting bracket offers excellent ease of installation and disassembly, allowing for manual operation.

[0037] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", "fixation" and other terms should be interpreted broadly. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part. There are various ways to install detachably, such as by using a plug-in and snap-fit ​​method, or by using a bolt connection, etc.

[0038] The above description of the specific embodiments of this utility model is only used to further illustrate this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-essential improvements and adjustments made to this utility model by technical engineers based on the above description of the utility model shall fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
