Quick-change device for a license plate holder on single-track motor vehicles

Abstract

Quick-change device for a license plate holder of a single-track motor vehicle, comprising a vehicle-side receiving module with a counter plate (3), a license plate-side insertion module with a base plate (1) and an insertion element (2), a positive-locking guide geometry, a mechanical locking device, an independent locking device with a locking pin (4), electrical contacts (6, 7) which automatically establish an electrical contact when the modules are joined together, and magnetic elements (8, 9).

Description

1. Technical field

[0001] The subject matter of the utility model relates to a quick-change device for license plate holders on single-track motor vehicles, in particular motorcycles. 2. State of the art

[0002] License plate holders are typically bolted to the vehicle in current technology and can only be removed using tools. Known detachable systems are often not sufficiently secured against unintentional loosening due to vibrations or require the manual disconnection of electrical connectors. 3. Object of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a quick-change device that allows tool-free assembly and disassembly, has a secure mechanical locking mechanism with additional safety, provides an automatic electrical contact closure, and is modularly adaptable to different vehicle models. 4. Solution to the task

[0004] The problem is solved by a quick-change device comprising a vehicle-side mounting module, which includes a counter plate (3) and is designed for attachment to the motorcycle, and a license plate-side insertion module, which is attached to a license plate holder. The insertion module comprises a base plate (1) and an insertion element (2), wherein the base plate (1) and the insertion element (2) are designed as a cooperating unit. A positive-locking guide geometry, in particular a geometric wedging element, is provided between the mounting module and the insertion module, by which the insertion module can be displaced relative to the mounting module along a predetermined direction of movement.

[0005] To secure the locked position, a mechanical locking device is provided, with an additional safety device independent of the locking mechanism. The safety device comprises a spring-loaded locking pin (4) that interacts with a locking nut (5), which is preferably integrated into the insertion module.

[0006] When the modules are joined, the male contacts (6) of the insertion module automatically engage with a contact receptacle (7) of the receiving module, thereby establishing an automatic electrical connection. The number of contacts is variable and can comprise a variable number of contacts.

[0007] Magnetic elements are provided to assist positioning and holding support, including plug magnets (8) and locking magnets (9), which provide support and do not replace the mechanical locking mechanism.

[0008] To adapt to different vehicle models, the mounting module has threaded inserts or fixing points (10) which are modular in design, so that the mounting module can be adapted to the specific vehicle, while the insertion module and the quick-change principle remain unchanged.
