Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric vehicle parts technology, and in particular to a basket and carrier. Background Technology
[0002] Electric bikes have become an important tool for short-distance urban travel due to their convenience. As a key component for carrying items, their baskets are usually equipped with lids to prevent items from falling out or getting wet. Currently, the locking mechanisms for most electric bike basket lids on the market are mechanical locks or latches, which typically require both hands or forceful operation with one hand to open. This makes it difficult for riders to open and close the lid with one hand while holding the handlebars or carrying items, which is very inconvenient.
[0003] Therefore, the existing locking structure of electric vehicle basket covers has significant shortcomings in terms of ease of one-handed operation, failing to meet users' actual needs for quick, easy, and one-handed opening and closing of the basket cover. To address this pain point, there is an urgent need to develop a new basket cover structure design, with the core objective of achieving one-handed control, effortless operation, and convenient opening and closing, thereby significantly improving the user's convenience and overall experience when using an electric vehicle basket.

[0029] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a basket and carrier to solve the problems existing in the prior art, so that the opening and closing action can be completed by lightly pressing with the elbow or tapping with the finger, which is controllable with one hand and convenient to open and close.
[0030] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0031] Example 1
[0032] Combination Figures 1 to 6 This embodiment provides a bicycle basket, including a basket body 1, a basket cover 2, a rebounder 3, and a locking assembly 4. The basket body 1 has an opening at the top. The basket cover 2 is rotatably connected to one side edge of the basket body 1. The basket cover 2 has a top surface with a trigger area. The basket cover 2 has a first position covering the opening and a second position with the opening open. The rebounder 3 is disposed on the basket body 1 and is used to provide an elastic force to spring the basket cover 2 from the first position to the second position. The rebounder 3 has a pressing end face that can be pressed down. When the basket cover 2 is in the first position, the vertical position of the trigger area corresponds to the pressing end face of the rebounder 3 so that the rebounder 3 can be triggered to release the elastic force when the trigger area is pressed. The locking assembly 4 is used to lock the basket cover 2 to the basket body 1 when the basket cover 2 is in the first position, and is also used to release the basket cover 2 under the elastic force of the rebounder 3.
[0033] The basket provided in this embodiment can release the basket cover 2 under the elastic force of the rebounder 3; ensuring that the pressing action can accurately trigger the rebounder 3; at the same time, the locking component 4 and the rebounder 3 are linked, and the rebounder 3 unlocks synchronously when it releases the elastic force, without the need for additional manual unlocking steps. The integrated design of "press-spring-unlock" realizes that the opening and closing action can be completed by lightly pressing with the elbow or tapping with the finger, which is controllable with one hand and convenient to open and close.
[0034] In some embodiments, the rebounder 3 includes a movable column 31, a fixed seat 33, and an elastic element 34 that are slidably connected. The movable column 31 includes a first end and a second end. The first end is provided with a pressing end face, and the second end is provided with a sliding groove. The fixed seat 33 is disposed on the basket body 1. The fixed seat 33 is provided with a moving hook 32, which is slidably disposed in the sliding groove. The two ends of the elastic element 34 are respectively sleeved on the outer walls of the movable column 31 and the fixed seat 33.
[0035] When the pressing end face is pressed down, the driving movable column 31 moves relative to the fixed seat 33, so that the moving hook 32 moves from the locked position to the unlocked position relative to the sliding groove, the movable column 31 is unlocked from the fixed seat 33, and the movable column 31 protrudes from the edge of the basket body 1 under the action of the elastic element 34, providing elastic force for the basket cover 2 to be opened.
[0036] The drive hook 32 moves from the unlocked position to the locked position relative to the sliding groove, the movable column 31 locks with the fixed seat 33, and the movable column 31 retracts against the force of the elastic element 34.
[0037] In this embodiment, the user only needs to press the pressing end face of the movable column 31 to drive the movable column 31 to move relative to the fixed seat 33, so that the moving hook 32 can switch from the locked position to the unlocked position along the sliding groove. After unlocking, the elastic element 34 directly pushes the movable column 31 to protrude from the edge of the basket, providing the power for the basket cover 2 to open, without any additional operation. When closing the basket cover 2, only pressing the basket cover 2 is needed to drive the movable column 31 to retract against the force of the elastic element 34, and simultaneously reset the moving hook 32 to the locked position, which is especially suitable for scenarios where one hand can operate quickly while riding.
[0038] In some embodiments, the sliding groove includes a first sliding groove 311 and a second sliding groove 312 that are connected to each other. Both the first sliding groove 311 and the second sliding groove 312 are arranged along the extension direction of the movable column 31. The moving hook 32 can move from the locked position to the unlocked position relative to the sliding groove along the first sliding groove 311, and the movable column 31 is unlocked from the fixed seat 33. The moving hook 32 can move from the unlocked position to the locked position relative to the sliding groove along the second sliding groove 312, and the movable column 31 is locked from the fixed seat 33.
[0039] In this embodiment, the first slide groove 311 and the second slide groove 312 are both arranged side by side along the extension direction of the movable column 31. The two ends of the first slide groove 311 and the second slide groove 312 are connected to each other so that the moving hook 32 can slide cyclically in the slide groove. The locking position and the unlocking position are respectively set at the connection of the two ends of the first slide groove 311 and the second slide groove 312, so that the movable column 31 and the fixed seat 33 repeatedly realize the replacement of the unlocking and locking process.
[0040] In some embodiments, the elastic element 34 is a helical spring.
[0041] This embodiment provides a specific structure for the elastic element 34. The helical spring generates a rebound force through the deformation of its own helical structure. The magnitude of the rebound force can be precisely designed by parameters such as wire diameter, pitch, and number of turns. It can output a uniform and stable force within a preset stroke, avoiding the problem of the elastic force fluctuating. It is suitable for scenarios where the elastic force accuracy is required. It is understood that in some instances, other structures besides helical springs can also be used as the elastic element 34, all of which are within the protection scope of this application, such as metal spring sheets and gas springs.
[0042] It should be noted that in other embodiments, any existing bouncer can be used.
[0043] In some embodiments, the locking component 4 includes a first adsorption member 41 and a second adsorption member 42. The pressing end face of the rebounder 3 is provided with the first adsorption member 41, and the bottom surface of the basket cover 2 is provided with the second adsorption member 42. The second adsorption member 42 is directly facing the trigger area. When the basket cover 2 is in the first position, the first adsorption member 41 and the second adsorption member 42 adsorb and contact each other.
[0044] In some embodiments, the first adsorption element 41 is a permanent magnet and the second adsorption element 42 is a metal sheet; or the first adsorption element 41 is a metal sheet and the second adsorption element 42 is a permanent magnet.
[0045] It is understood that in this embodiment, there is no need to limit the specific materials of the first adsorption member 41 and the second adsorption member 42. As long as the first adsorption member 41 and the second adsorption member 42 can have an adsorption effect, the effect of closing the basket cover 2 can be achieved.
[0046] In some embodiments, both the metal sheet and the permanent magnet have circular cross-sections.
[0047] In some embodiments, the surface of the metal sheet is covered with an anti-corrosion coating, the coating material being a nickel-zinc alloy.
[0048] This embodiment provides a metal sheet with an anti-corrosion coating on its surface. The nickel-zinc alloy coating can form a dense and stable protective layer on the surface of the metal sheet, which can effectively isolate air, moisture and other corrosive media from contact with the base metal, significantly delay the oxidation and corrosion process of the base metal, and extend its service life. It is understood that in some instances, other materials besides the anti-corrosion coating can also be used as the surface coating of the metal sheet, all of which are within the protection scope of this application, such as zinc coating and nickel coating.
[0049] In some embodiments, the surface of the trigger area is provided with anti-slip texture or an elastic silicone layer.
[0050] In this embodiment, setting anti-slip textures or elastic silicone layers in the trigger area can increase the friction coefficient between itself and the hand, effectively resisting the risk of slipping during operation and reducing accidental touches or failure to trigger due to slipping. It is especially suitable for use scenarios that are prone to slipping, such as wet or oily conditions.

[0052] This utility model also provides a carrier, including the basket in Embodiment 1.
[0053] Example 2 has all the advantages of Example 1, and will not be repeated here.
