Description

Fixed connectors, storage devices, and personal transportation tools

[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202421683543.3, filed on July 16, 2024, entitled "Fixed Connector, Storage Device and Transportation Tool", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] This application relates to the field of personal transportation technology, specifically to a fixed connecting base, a storage device, and a personal transportation tool. Background Technology

[0003] As urban traffic becomes increasingly congested and vehicle emissions rise, people are increasingly inclined to use lightweight and environmentally friendly modes of transportation. Bicycles and scooters, due to their ease of operation, convenience, energy efficiency, environmental friendliness, ease of parking, and resistance to traffic congestion, are gradually becoming the preferred mode of transportation for short-distance travel.

[0004] Bicycles are typically equipped with cargo containers, such as baskets. These containers are used to hold items, allowing riders to ride with ease. However, in some bicycles, the cargo container is fixed to the frame via threaded fasteners. Therefore, it can be easily removed using tools, potentially leading to the loss of the container and its contents. Furthermore, current scooters do not have cargo containers. Riders must hang items on the handlebars or carry them on their person, which can negatively impact the riding experience.

[0005] Utility Model Content

[0006] This application provides a fixed connector, a storage device, and a means of transportation, which can solve the problem of loss of the cargo container and its contents due to easy disassembly of the cargo container.

[0007] On one hand, this application provides a fixing connector for fixing a cargo container, the cargo container being mounted on the fixing connector along a first direction, the fixing connector comprising:

[0008] The mounting base includes a connected panel and a bracket, the panel being used to connect to the cargo container to secure the cargo container, and the bracket being used to connect to the vehicle body;

[0009] A locking component is disposed on the fixed base. The locking component includes a lock body and a latch. The latch is slidably connected to the lock body along a second direction. The lock body is used to lock or unlock the latch.

[0010] The container is provided with a mounting hole through which the bolt passes. When the lock body is in the locked state, at least part of the bolt protrudes from the end face of the panel facing the container, and the bolt can pass through the mounting hole. When the lock body is in the unlocked state, the bolt can retract into the panel along the second direction.

[0011] The fixed connector provided in this application allows the latch to be positioned within the mounting hole when the container is installed along a first direction. When the latch aligns with the mounting hole, it remains relatively stationary. In other words, the latch remains within the mounting hole, and the inner wall of the mounting hole can limit its movement, preventing the container from easily detaching from the fixed connector. This allows the locking and unlocking of the lock body to be controlled by the bicycle, reducing the possibility of the container being disassembled by others and causing damage to the rider.

[0012] It should be noted that during the installation of the container onto the fixed connecting base along the first direction, the lock body can remain in the unlocked state, allowing the bolt to retract into the panel. This reduces the possibility of the bolt protruding from the end face of the panel and thus obstructing the movement of the container along the first direction. During the sliding of the container along the first direction, the bolt can be aligned with the mounting hole. When the bolt is aligned with the mounting hole, it can protrude from the end face of the panel along the second direction, allowing it to reside within the mounting hole.

[0013] When it is necessary to disassemble the container, the lock body can be in the unlocked state. At this time, the bolt can slide in the second direction and retract into the panel, so that the bolt can disengage from the mounting hole, thereby releasing the restriction between the bolt and the mounting hole, and the container can be removed from the fixed connecting seat in the first direction.

[0014] According to one embodiment of this application, the locking member includes a resilient reset member connected to the bolt and the lock body, the resilient reset member being used to provide a driving force for the bolt to extend through the panel.

[0015] According to one embodiment of this application, the fixed connection seat includes an unlocking drive component connected to the bolt. When the lock body is in the unlocked state, the unlocking drive component is used to drive the bolt to retract to the panel.

[0016] According to one embodiment of this application, the unlocking drive member is provided with a connecting portion, and the lock body is provided with a sliding groove extending along the second direction, wherein the connecting portion can slide within the sliding groove along the second direction.

[0017] According to one embodiment of this application, the fixed connecting seat is disposed on the upright of the vehicle body. The fixed connecting seat includes a first clamping arm and a second clamping arm connected together. The first clamping arm is disposed on the bracket, and the second clamping arm is disposed opposite to the first clamping arm. The second clamping arm and the first clamping arm form an adjustable space through which the upright can pass.

[0018] According to one embodiment of this application, the first clamping arm has a first wall surface and a second wall surface facing the adjustable space, the first wall surface and the second wall surface being connected and having an included angle; and / or,

[0019] The second clamping arm has a third wall and a fourth wall facing the adjustable space, the third wall and the fourth wall being connected and having an included angle.

[0020] According to one embodiment of this application, the bracket is connected to the upright of the vehicle body by screws, and the head of the screw is clamped between the bracket and the lock body;

[0021] Alternatively, the bracket can be welded to the uprights on the vehicle body.

[0022] Secondly, this application provides a storage device comprising:

[0023] The fixed connecting seat in any of the above embodiments;

[0024] A container has a mounting wall facing the panel, a mounting hole is provided on the mounting wall, and a limiting part is also provided on the mounting wall. The limiting part and the mounting hole are spaced apart along a first direction, and the limiting part is used to limit the panel along the first direction.

[0025] According to one embodiment of this application, the mounting wall is provided with a slide rail, and the panel can slide in the slide rail along the first direction so that the locking tongue can pass through the mounting hole.

[0026] According to one embodiment of this application, the slide has a limiting wall, which is disposed opposite to the mounting wall in a second direction, and a portion of the panel is located between the limiting wall and the mounting wall to limit the panel in the second direction.

[0027] Thirdly, this application provides a means of transportation that includes:

[0028] Erect a pole;

[0029] In any of the above embodiments, the storage device is fixed to the upright via the fixed connecting seat.

[0044] The accompanying drawings illustrate specific embodiments of this application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0045] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims. Clearly, the described embodiments are only a portion, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0046] With the continuous development of technology, the types of transportation tools people use have gradually increased. In addition to traditional fuel vehicles, various simple and easy-to-drive transportation tools have gradually entered people's lives.

[0047] The means of transportation in this application may include, but are not limited to, bicycles, scooters, etc. Bicycles and scooters are easy for riders to learn to use and have advantages such as being labor-saving, lightweight, environmentally friendly, and inexpensive.

[0048] The bicycle can be an electric bicycle, a folding bicycle, etc. The scooter can be an electric scooter, a folding scooter, etc., and is not specifically limited in this application. For ease of description, this application uses a scooter as an example of a means of transportation.

[0049] The mounting bracket of this application can be used to secure a cargo container to the frame of a scooter. The cargo container can be used to hold personal items such as helmets and rain gear belonging to the rider.

[0050] In related technologies, bicycles are equipped with cargo containers, such as baskets. These containers are typically attached to the frame with screws, making them easily detachable with tools, potentially leading to the loss of the container and its contents. Furthermore, scooters in these technologies lack cargo containers. Riders must hang items on the handlebars or carry them with them, which can negatively impact the riding experience.

[0051] To address the aforementioned technical issues, the applicant provides a fixing bracket for securing a cargo container to a vehicle body. This fixing bracket provides anti-theft protection for the cargo container, preventing its loss due to easy removal. The fixing bracket includes a locking element, comprising a lock body and a latch. The lock body controls the latch's engagement or disengagement. When the lock body is engaged, the latch passes through the cargo container's mounting base, locking the container securely to the fixing bracket. Therefore, the locking element prevents easy removal of the cargo container from the vehicle body, improving cargo container security and reducing rider losses.

[0052] The fixed connection base 100, storage device 10, and means of transportation provided in this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0053] Referring to Figures 1 to 4, the fixed connecting seat 100 of this embodiment is used to fix the cargo container 200. The cargo container 200 can be installed on the fixed connecting seat 100 along the first direction X.

[0054] The fixed connection base 100 may include a fixed base 110 and a locking member 120. The fixed base 110 may include a connected panel 111 and a bracket 112. The panel 111 may be used to connect to the cargo container 200 to fix the cargo container 200. The bracket 112 is used to connect to the vehicle body. The locking member 120 may be disposed on the fixed base 110. The locking member 120 includes a lock body 121 and a latch 122. The latch 122 is slidably connected to the lock body 121 along a second direction Y, and the lock body 121 can be used to lock or unlock the latch 122.

[0055] The container 200 has a mounting hole 200a through which the latch 122 passes. When the lock body 121 is in the locked state, at least part of the latch 122 can protrude from the end face of the panel 111 facing the container 200, and the latch 122 can pass through the mounting hole 200a. When the lock body 121 is in the unlocked state, the latch 122 can slide along the second direction Y, and the latch 122 can retract into the panel 111.

[0056] In this embodiment, during the installation of the cargo container 200 along the first direction X onto the fixed connecting base 100, when the locking tongue 122 aligns with the mounting hole 200a, the locking tongue 122 can be located within the mounting hole 200a. When the lock body 121 is in the locked state, the locking tongue 122 and the lock body 121 can remain relatively stationary, and the locking tongue 122 is not easily retracted into the panel 111. In other words, the locking tongue 122 can remain located within the mounting hole 200a. Therefore, the inner wall of the mounting hole 200a can be used to limit the locking tongue 122, making it difficult for the cargo container 200 to detach from the fixed connecting base 100. Thus, the locking and unlocking states of the lock body 121 can be controlled by the bicycle, which helps reduce the possibility of the cargo container 200 being disassembled by others, causing damage to the rider.

[0057] It should be noted that during the installation of the container 200 onto the fixed connecting base 100 along the first direction X, the lock body 121 can remain unlocked, allowing the bolt 122 to retract into the panel 111. This reduces the likelihood that the bolt 122 will protrude from the end face of the panel 111, thus hindering the movement of the container 200 along the first direction X. During the sliding of the container 200 along the first direction X, the bolt 122 can be aligned with the mounting hole 200a. When the bolt 122 is aligned with the mounting hole 200a, it can protrude from the end face of the panel 111 along the second direction Y, allowing the bolt 122 to reside within the mounting hole 200a.

[0058] When it is necessary to disassemble the container 200, the lock body 121 can be in the unlocked state. At this time, the bolt 122 can slide along the second direction Y and retract into the panel 111, so that the bolt 122 can disengage from the mounting hole 200a, thereby releasing the restriction between the bolt 122 and the mounting hole 200a, and the container 200 can be detached from the fixed connecting seat 100 along the first direction X.

[0059] In some examples, the cargo container 200 can be fixed to the handlebars, pole 20, rear seat, etc. of the vehicle body via the fixed connecting seat 100, but this embodiment does not impose specific limitations.

[0060] In some examples, the lock body 121 may be, but is not limited to, a key lock or a combination lock.

[0061] In some examples, referring to Figure 5, the bracket 112 and the panel 111 can be detachably connected via fasteners. The combination lock can be fixed to the panel 111 or the bracket 112 with screws, but this is not limited in this embodiment.

[0062] In some examples, when the lock body 121 is a combination lock, at least a portion of the lock body 121 may be exposed to facilitate the rider's operation of the combination lock. Furthermore, the exposed combination lock can also serve as a warning, helping to reduce the likelihood of the cargo container 200 being lost.

[0063] In some possible implementations, referring to Figures 3 and 4, the locking member 120 of this embodiment may include a resilient reset member 123. The resilient reset member 123 is connected to the bolt 122 and the lock body 121, and can be used to provide a driving force for the bolt 122 to pass through the panel 111.

[0064] In this embodiment, when the lock body 121 is in the unlocked state, the bolt 122 can remain extended from the end face of the panel 111 under the action of the elastic reset member 123. Furthermore, since the elastic reset member 123 is elastic, the bolt 122 can also retract into the panel 111 under the action of external force.

[0065] In some examples, panel 111 may be abutted against the mounting wall 210 of container 200 to improve the stability of their connection.

[0066] Specifically, during the installation of the container 200, the lock body 121 is in the unlocked state. The elastic reset member 123 can drive the bolt 122 to protrude from the end face of the panel 111. During the connection of the container 200 with the panel 111 along the first direction X, the bolt 122 can retract into the panel 111 along the second direction Y under the action of the mounting wall 210 of the container 200 for contact with the panel 111, thus preventing the bolt 122 from obstructing the installation process of the container 200. The container 200 can continue to move along the first direction X. When the bolt 122 corresponds to the mounting hole 200a, the bolt 122 is no longer affected by the mounting wall 210 of the container 200, and the bolt 122 can be reset under the action of the elastic reset member 123. The bolt 122 can protrude from the end face of the panel 111 and pass through the mounting hole 200a, thereby limiting the bolt 122 through the inner wall of the mounting hole 200a.

[0067] In some examples, the latch 122 may be provided with an inclined guide surface 122b. During the process of mounting the container 200 to the fixed connecting seat 100 along the first direction X, the container 200 can retract the latch 122 into the panel 111 through the inclined guide surface 122b, which helps to improve the smoothness of the installation of the container 200 and reduces the possibility that the latch 122 will obstruct the installation path of the container 200.

[0068] In some examples, the inclined guide surface 122b may be oriented toward the mounting direction of the container 200. For instance, when the container 200 is mounted downwards along the first direction X, the inclined guide surface 122b may be inclined upwards to engage with the container 200. Similarly, when the container 200 is mounted upwards along the first direction X, the inclined guide surface 122b may be inclined downwards.

[0069] In some examples, the installation direction of the cargo container 200 can be opposite to the disassembly direction.

[0070] For example, the latch 122 may also be provided with a locking surface 122c for limiting the mounting hole 200a. The locking surface 122c and the inclined guide surface 122b may be located on opposite sides of the latch 122 along the first direction X.

[0071] Specifically, taking the container 200 installed downwards along the first direction X as an example, the limiting surface can be located on the lower surface of the latch 122. When the latch 122 is located in the mounting hole 200a, the limiting surface of the latch 122 cooperates with the mounting hole 200a to prevent the container 200 from moving upwards along the first direction X. Thus, when the lock body 121 is in the latch 122 state, the limiting surface can prevent the container 200 from moving upwards along the first direction X and being disassembled.

[0072] In some possible implementations, referring to Figures 4, 6, and 7, the fixed connection base 100 of this embodiment may include an unlocking drive 130. The unlocking drive 130 is connected to the bolt 122. When the lock body 121 is in the unlocked state, the unlocking drive 130 can drive the bolt 122 to retract along the second direction Y to the panel 111.

[0073] In this embodiment, when the lock body 121 is in the locked state, the latch 122 remains protruding from the panel 111 and located within the mounting hole 200a. When the lock body 121 is in the unlocked state, the latch 122 remains within the mounting hole 200a under the action of the elastic reset member 123. At this time, the limiting surface of the latch 122 and the inner wall of the mounting hole 200a mutually limit each other, making it difficult to disassemble the cargo container 200. Therefore, the unlocking drive member 130 can be used to provide a driving force for the latch 122 to retract back to the panel 111. The rider can hold the unlocking drive member 130 and use it to drive the latch 122 to retract back into the panel 111 along the second direction Y, thereby enabling the disassembly of the cargo container 200.

[0074] In some feasible implementations, referring to Figures 6 to 8, the unlocking drive member 130 of this application embodiment may be provided with a connecting portion 131. The lock body 121 may be provided with a slide groove 121a extending along the second direction Y, and the connecting portion 131 may slide within the slide groove 121a along the second direction Y.

[0075] In this embodiment, by providing a groove 121a on the lock body 121, the unlocking drive member 130 can be kept sliding along the second direction Y, reducing the possibility that the unlocking drive member 130 will deflect, causing the bolt 122 to deflect, thus affecting the possibility that the bolt 122 will be difficult to retract to the panel 111. Therefore, by allowing the unlocking drive member 130 to slide within the groove 121a, the smoothness of the bolt 122 sliding along the second direction Y can be improved. Furthermore, by providing the groove 121a, the movement displacement of the unlocking drive member 130 can be constrained, preventing excessive movement of the unlocking drive member 130 from affecting the reset of the bolt 122.

[0076] In some examples, referring to the direction shown in Figure 7, when the fixed connecting seat 100 is placed horizontally, the second direction Y can refer to the horizontal direction. The locking tongue 122 can be provided with an upward-opening groove 122a. The unlocking drive member 130 can be provided with a protrusion 132 that matches the groove 122a. The protrusion 132 can enter the groove 122a through the opening of the groove 122a. The protrusion 132 and the inner wall of the groove 122a can fit together, thereby realizing the synchronous movement of the unlocking drive member 130 and the locking tongue 122.

[0077] In some examples, the protrusion 132 can be locked into the groove 122a by a locking fastener to improve the connection reliability between the unlocking drive 130 and the latch 122.

[0078] In some possible implementations, referring to FIG7, the unlocking drive member 130 of this application embodiment may be provided with a handle 133. The handle 133 may be located at the end of the unlocking drive member 130 away from the protrusion 132.

[0079] In this embodiment of the application, when the lock body 121 is in the unlocked state, the handle 133 can drive the unlocking drive component 130 to slide along the second direction Y, thereby driving the lock tongue 122 to retract along the second direction Y into the interior of the panel 111.

[0080] In some examples, the handle 133 can be a ring structure, thus providing a point of force application for the operator, making it easier for the operator to perform the operation.

[0081] In some possible implementations, referring to Figures 6 and 8, the fixed connecting seat 100 of this embodiment can be disposed on the upright 20 of the vehicle body. The fixed connecting seat 100 may include a first clamping arm 140 and a second clamping arm 150 connected together. The first clamping arm 140 may be disposed on the bracket 112. The second clamping arm 150 may be disposed opposite to the first clamping arm 140, and the second clamping arm 150 and the first clamping arm 140 form an adjustable space 100a through which the upright 20 can pass.

[0082] In this embodiment, since the first clamping arm 140 and the second clamping arm 150 can form an adjustable space 100a, the fixed connecting seat 100 can be adapted to uprights 20 of different diameters by adjusting the adjustable space 100a between the first clamping arm 140 and the second clamping arm 150, which is beneficial to improving the versatility of the fixed connecting seat 100.

[0083] It is easy to understand that by adjusting the first clamping arm 140 and the second clamping arm 150 to be further apart, the adjustable space 100a can be increased to accommodate the upright 20 with a larger diameter. By adjusting the first clamping arm 140 and the second clamping arm 150 to be closer together, the adjustable space 100a can be decreased to accommodate the upright 20 with a smaller diameter.

[0084] Because an adjustable space 100a is formed between the first clamping arm 140 and the second clamping arm 150, when the adjustable space 100a is larger than the diameter of the upright 20, the first clamping arm 140 and the second clamping arm 150 can drive the fixed connecting seat 100 to move axially along the upright 20, so that the height of the fixed connecting seat 100 in the vertical direction is adjustable. Therefore, the rider can use the fixed connecting seat 100 at any height on the upright 20 to meet the comfort and convenience of riders of different heights using the cargo container 200.

[0085] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the fixed connecting seat 100 can be mounted on the upright 20 of the vehicle body. The upright 20 has a good load-bearing capacity. Since the height of the fixed connecting seat 100 on the upright 20 is adjustable, by mounting the cargo container 200 on the upright 20 using the fixed connecting seat 100, the cargo container 200 can be adjusted to have a lower center of gravity. This helps maintain the stability of the vehicle during operation when a large item is placed inside the cargo container 200.

[0086] In some possible implementations, as shown in Figures 6 and 8, the first clamping arm 140 may have a first wall 141 and a second wall 142 facing the adjustable space 100a. The first wall 141 and the second wall 142 are connected and have an included angle.

[0087] In this embodiment, the first wall surface 141 and the second wall surface 142 are connected to form a "V"-shaped opening. A portion of the uprights 20 can be located within this "V"-shaped opening. The "V"-shaped opening formed by the first wall surface 141 and the second wall surface 142 can accommodate uprights 20 of various diameters.

[0088] Specifically, when the diameter of the upright 20 is small, the outer wall of the upright 20 is closer to the junction of the first wall surface 141 and the second wall surface 142. When the diameter of the upright 20 is large, the outer wall of the upright 20 is farther away from the junction of the first wall surface 141 and the second wall surface 142.

[0089] In some possible implementations, the second clamping arm 150 may have a third wall 151 and a fourth wall 152 facing the adjustable space 100a. The third wall 151 and the fourth wall 152 are connected and have an included angle.

[0090] Similarly, the third wall surface 151 and the fourth wall surface 152 can be connected to form a "V"-shaped opening. Some of the uprights 20 can be located within the "V"-shaped opening. In particular, the "V"-shaped opening formed by the third wall surface 151 and the fourth wall surface 152 can be used to accommodate uprights 20 of various diameters.

[0091] In some examples, the first clamping arm 140 and the second clamping arm 150 can be connected by an adjusting screw 170. Furthermore, the adjusting screw 170 can be used to adjust the distance between the first clamping arm 140 and the second clamping arm 150 to form an adjustable space 100a.

[0092] In some examples, the first clamping arm 140 may be connected to the bracket 112. During the installation of the fixed connecting seat 100 onto the upright 20, the first clamping arm 140 and the second clamping arm 150 may be aligned with the upright 20 respectively, so that the upright 20 can be positioned between the first clamping arm 140 and the second clamping arm 150. Then, an adjusting screw 170 is passed through the second clamping arm 150 and the first clamping arm 140 to connect the second clamping arm 150 to the first clamping arm 140. By rotating the adjusting screw 170 clockwise or counterclockwise, the distance between the second clamping arm 150 and the first clamping arm 140 can be adjusted to stably connect the fixed connecting seat 100 to the upright 20.

[0093] In some examples, a buffer pad 160 may be provided between the first clamping arm 140 and the upright 20. A buffer pad 160 may also be provided between the second clamping arm 150 and the upright 20. The buffer pad 160 can separate the first clamping arm 140, the second clamping arm 150, and the upright 20, thereby reducing the possibility of the first clamping arm 140 and the second clamping arm 150 scratching the coating of the outer wall of the upright 20 during locking or sliding along the axial direction of the upright 20, thus affecting the overall aesthetics of the vehicle. Furthermore, scratches on the coating of the upright 20 can easily lead to rust, affecting its service life.

[0094] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG10, the bracket 112 can be connected to the upright post 20 of the vehicle body by a screw 180, with the head of the screw 180 sandwiched between the bracket 112 and the lock body 121, thereby detachably connecting the fixing connector 100 to the upright post 20 of the vehicle body. This allows the head of the screw 180 to be hidden between the bracket 112 and the lock body 121, preventing external removal of the screw 180. Simultaneously, one end of the lock body 180 can also abut against the head of the screw 180, preventing it from loosening. As shown in FIG11, the bracket 112 can also be directly welded to the upright post 20 of the vehicle body, similarly preventing removal of the fixing connector 100. Of course, other connection methods can also be used between the fixing connector 100 and the vehicle body; no specific limitations are made here.

[0095] This application also provides a storage device 10. As shown in Figures 1 to 4, the storage device 10 may include the fixed connecting seat 100 and the container 200 in any of the above embodiments.

[0096] The container 200 has a mounting wall 210 facing the panel 111. A mounting hole 200a may be provided in the mounting wall 210. A limiting part 211 may also be provided on the mounting wall 210. The limiting part 211 and the mounting hole 200a may be spaced apart along a first direction X. The limiting part 211 can be used to limit the panel 111 along the first direction X.

[0097] In this embodiment of the application, the limiting part 211 can provide a positioning indication for the container 200 when it comes into contact with the fixed connecting seat 100 during the assembly process of the container 200 and the fixed connecting seat 100.

[0098] Specifically, the description takes the example of a container 200 being mounted downwards along the first direction X on a fixed connecting base 100. When the container 200 moves to the point where the limiting part 211 contacts the fixed connecting base 100, the container 200 stops moving. At this time, the locking tongue 122 can be aligned with the mounting hole 200a, and the locking tongue 122 is located inside the mounting hole 200a. The inner wall of the mounting hole 200a and the locking tongue 122 can cooperate with each other. Therefore, through the cooperation between the locking tongue 122 and the mounting hole 200a, and the cooperation between the fixed connecting base 100 and the limiting part 211, the container 200 can be limited along the first direction X.

[0099] In some examples, the contact between the limiting part 211 and the fixed connecting seat 100 can mean that the limiting part 211 is in contact with the panel 111.

[0100] In some possible implementations, referring to Figures 4 and 9, the mounting wall 210 of this embodiment may be provided with a slide rail 212. The panel 111 can slide within the slide rail 212 in a first direction X, so that the latch 122 passes through the mounting hole 200a.

[0101] In this embodiment, the slide rail 212 can be used to guide the installation of the container 200 and the fixed connecting seat 100. During the installation of the container 200 along the first direction X onto the fixed connecting seat 100, the slide rail 212 facilitates easier alignment of the latch 122 with the mounting hole 200a. Specifically, when the container 200 is installed on the fixed connecting seat 100 along the first direction X, and the limiting part 211 is connected to the fixed connecting seat 100, the latch 122 can be located within the mounting hole 200a.

[0102] In some possible implementations, as shown in Figure 9, the slide 212 may have a limiting wall. The limiting wall is positioned opposite the mounting wall 210 along the second direction Y. A portion of the panel 111 may be located between the limiting wall and the mounting wall 210 to limit the panel 111 along the second direction Y.

[0103] In this embodiment of the application, during the installation of the cargo container 200, the panel 111 and the slide rail 212 can slide relative to each other. Part of the panel 111 can be located between the limiting wall and the mounting wall 210 to prevent the panel 111 from moving along the second direction Y, thereby maintaining the installation stability of the cargo container 200.

[0104] In some examples, there may be two slide rails 212. The two slide rails 212 may be spaced apart along the third direction Z. The mounting hole 200a may be located between the two slide rails 212. The two slide rails 212 may have openings opposite each other along the third direction Z to form space for the panel 111 to slide. Furthermore, the two slide rails 212 may have bottom walls opposite each other along the third direction Z. The panel 111 may be located between the two bottom walls to limit the panel 111 in the third direction Z by the bottom walls of the two slide rails 212, thereby improving the connection stability between the container 200 and the panel 111 and facilitating the alignment of the latch 122 with the mounting hole 200a.

[0105] During the installation of the cargo container 200, the lock body 121 can be initially in the unlocked state. Then, the slide 212 of the cargo container 200 is aligned with the panel 111 of the fixed connecting base 100, and a downward force along the first direction X is applied to the cargo container 200. The cargo container 200 moves downward along the first direction X, allowing the panel 111 to slide along the slide 212. The panel 111 slides within the slide 212, and the mounting wall 210 of the cargo container 200 can push the latch 122 back into the panel 111. When the cargo container 200 moves to the point where the limiting part 211 contacts the panel 111, the cargo container 200 can no longer move downwards. At this point, the latch 122 can pass through the mounting hole 200a, and the rider can adjust the lock body 121 to the locked state to complete the locking of the cargo container 200.

[0106] When the cargo container 200 is not needed, the rider can first adjust the lock body 121 to the unlocked state, and then use the unlocking drive 130 to retract the bolt 122 into the panel 111. The bolt 122 disengages from the mounting hole 200a, allowing the cargo container 200 to move upward in the first direction X. The panel 111 and the slide rail 212 move relative to each other and move away from each other until the cargo container 200 is detached.

[0107] In summary, the installation and disassembly of the container 200 do not require additional installation or disassembly tools, making the operation simple and convenient. Furthermore, the lock body 121 can lock the container 200, reducing the possibility of it being disassembled and lost.

[0108] This application also provides a personal transportation tool, which may include a pole 20 and a storage device 10 as described in any of the above embodiments. The storage device 10 can be fixed to the pole 20 via a fixed connecting seat 100.
