Abstract
Description
A folding box for a folding electric bicycle Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of bicycles, in particular to a folding box for a folding electric bicycle. Background Art
[0002] Although the design of folding bicycles provides convenience for users, there are also some potential defects in the folding structure:
[0003] Structural Strength: The folding parts of a folding bike may be weaker than the corresponding parts of a non-folding bike. This is because the folding mechanism requires joints or hinges in certain parts of the bike, which may reduce the strength and stability of these parts. Folding Complexity: The folding process of some folding bikes can be complicated, requiring time and skill. This may cause confusion for some users, especially those who like to fold and unfold their bikes quickly. Safety Concerns: If the folding mechanism is not designed properly or used incorrectly, it may come loose or collapse unexpectedly during riding, which may cause safety issues.
[0004] Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a folding box that achieves high flexibility, stability and compactness by combining rotatable folding, pressurized fixation and avoidance design, while avoiding interference during the folding process.
[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, a folding box for a foldable electric bicycle is designed, comprising a first folding body, wherein a first connecting seat arranged vertically is provided at one end of the first folding body, a first through hole is horizontally provided through the body of the first folding body, and a first groove is respectively provided at the upper and lower ends of the first folding body; a second folding body, wherein a second connecting seat arranged vertically is provided at one end of the second folding body, and is connected to the first connecting seat of the first folding body through a pin shaft, so that the first folding body and the second folding body can be rotated and folded along the pin shaft, a connecting tube is provided in the middle of the second folding body close to the first folding body, a through hole is provided in the middle of the connecting tube, and a horizontal through hole is provided on the side of the second folding body away from the second connecting seat. The second through hole passing through the second folding body has second grooves at the upper and lower ends thereof; the pressure assembly includes a rotating handle arranged at the top, a connecting rod threadedly connected to the rotating handle, a first spring and a second spring sleeved on the connecting rod, and also includes a first pressure block and a second pressure block, the first pressure block and the second pressure block pass through the connecting rod and are simultaneously connected to the first groove of the first folding body and the second groove of the second folding body, the first pressure block and the second pressure block are provided with spring seats, the spring seats are respectively connected to one end of the first spring and the second spring, the pressure assembly passes through the connecting tube of the second folding body, and the other ends of the first spring and the second spring are connected to the connecting tube.
[0007] The present invention also has the following preferred technical solutions:
[0008] 1. An arc-shaped notch is provided on the side of the first folding body close to the second folding body, and the arc-shaped notch cooperates with the connecting pipe of the second folding body to avoid each other.
[0009] 2. A conical base is provided at the bottom of the connecting rod.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0011] 1. Rotatable and foldable: The first folding body and the second folding body are connected by a pin and can be rotated and folded along the pin. This design provides extremely high flexibility, allowing the folding box to be folded and unfolded as needed, which is very convenient. At the same time, this also makes the folding box small in size after folding, easy to store and carry, increasing its practicality;
[0012] 2. Pressurized Fixation: The pressurized assembly includes a rotating handle, a connecting rod, two springs, and two pressurizing blocks. The combination of these components allows the folding box to be fixed by pressure after unfolding or folding, increasing stability. This design not only provides strong fixing capabilities, ensuring the stability of the folding box during use, but also allows users to easily adjust the state of the folding box by rotating the handle;
[0013] 3. Avoidance Design: A curved notch is located on the side of the first folding body near the second folding body, allowing for a clear path with the connecting tube of the second folding body. This design prevents interference during folding and unfolding, making the folding and unfolding process smoother. This not only improves the user experience of the folding box, but also reduces potential damage caused by component interference, increasing product durability. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
