Description

Cable tie bicycle fixing device with anti-theft lock Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of bicycle transport technology, specifically to a cable tie-type bicycle fixing device with an anti-theft lock. Background Technology

[0002] Bicycle carrier racks for vehicles are widely used to provide bicycle transport capabilities for cars. They are typically mounted on the vehicle's tow hook or roof rack. Regardless of where the bicycle carrier rack is installed, it requires convenient and reliable securing of the bicycle to it.

[0003] Existing bicycle securing devices achieve three-point fixation by securing the bicycle to a bicycle carrier at one point on the front and rear tires and the bicycle frame. The conventional approach is to use clamping claws to secure the bicycle to the bicycle carrier. The clamping claws generally consist of two main parts: a first and a second claw. When tightened with a tightening device such as a rotating knob, the two claws clamp the bicycle frame tubes to secure the bicycle to the carrier.

[0004] However, these clamping claws usually cannot completely wrap around the bicycle frame tubes, and due to their structure, they are subjected to greater internal stress, usually requiring greater thickness and size to ensure strength. This makes it difficult for users to easily secure the bicycle. For this reason, we offer a cable tie bicycle securing device with an anti-theft lock. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cable tie-type bicycle fixing device with an anti-theft lock, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the existing clamping claws usually cannot completely wrap around the bicycle frame tube beam, and due to structural reasons, the internal stress is relatively large, usually requiring a large thickness and size to ensure strength, which is not conducive to the user's easy fixing of the bicycle.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a cable tie-type bicycle fixing device with an anti-theft lock, comprising a housing;

[0007] Also includes:

[0008] An operating latch is located at the upper end inside the housing;

[0009] A locking catch is located at the front end of the operating catch;

[0010] A telescopic lock is installed on one side of the housing, and the side of the telescopic lock is embedded inside the housing;

[0011] A soft cover is installed at the front end of the housing. A ratchet cable tie is installed below the front end of the soft cover, and a number of ratchet teeth are provided on the outer wall of the ratchet cable tie.

[0012] The connecting rod is installed at the rear end of the housing, and a carrier positioning component is installed at one end of the connecting rod.

[0013] Preferably, the operating buckle is rotatably connected to the housing via a first torsion spring shaft.

[0014] Preferably, a stop pin is installed on one side of the operating buckle, a locking tongue is installed at the lower end of the telescopic lock, and a lock hole is provided at the upper end of the telescopic lock.

[0015] Preferably, the locking buckle is rotatably connected to the housing via a second torsion spring shaft, and a ratchet block is provided below one end of the locking buckle.

[0016] Preferably, the upper surface of the other end of the locking buckle is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0017] Preferably, the outer wall of the cushion cover is provided with anti-slip teeth, and the interior of the cushion cover is provided with positioning holes. The cushion cover is connected to the housing through the positioning holes and screws.

[0018] Preferably, the carrier positioning component includes a first ring and a second ring, the lower end of the first ring is rotatably connected to the second ring via a hinge, and the second ring is connected to the first ring via a fastener.

[0019] Preferably, the telescopic lock and the ratchet cable tie form a certain angle.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0021] This invention uses a cable tie-type binding structure to secure bicycles and transport brackets. During fixing, the ratchet cable tie is wrapped around the desired position on the bicycle frame beam. One end of the ratchet cable tie is inserted into the locking buckle and tightened for initial fixation. To further enhance the fixing force, the operating buckle can be pulled to push the ratchet cable tie to tighten. Under the action of the first torsion spring shaft, the end of the locking buckle can tightly adhere to the ratchet cable tie, achieving a locking fix. To unlock, the operating buckle is pulled towards the locking buckle and pressed down, forcing the locking buckle to lift and release the ratchet cable tie, thus releasing the bicycle frame beam. The assembly and disassembly process is convenient and quick, solving the problem that existing clamping claw structures often cannot completely wrap around the bicycle frame beam, and due to structural reasons, the internal stress is relatively large, usually requiring a larger thickness and size to ensure strength, which is not conducive to easy bicycle fixation for users.

[0022] By installing a telescopic lock on the device, after the ratchet cable tie is tightened, pressing the telescopic lock will cause the bolt to pop out and block the stop pin on the operating buckle, thus preventing the lock catch from opening. After the telescopic lock is opened with a key, the bolt retracts and releases the lock catch, thereby achieving the anti-theft function. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1-5. One embodiment of the present invention is a cable tie bicycle fixing device with an anti-theft lock, including a housing 1.

[0031] Also includes:

[0032] Operating latch 2 is located at the upper end inside the housing 1;

[0033] Locking latch 3 is located at the front end of operating latch 2;

[0034] Telescopic lock 5 is installed on one side of housing 1, and the side of telescopic lock 5 is embedded inside housing 1;

[0035] A soft cover 6 is installed at the front end of the housing 1. A ratchet cable tie 7 is installed below the front end of the soft cover 6, and a number of ratchet teeth 8 are provided on the outer wall of the ratchet cable tie 7.

[0036] The connecting rod 9 is installed at the rear end of the housing 1, and a carrier positioning component 10 is installed at one end of the connecting rod 9.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 3. The operating buckle 2 is rotatably connected to the housing 1 via the first torsion spring shaft 201. By moving the operating buckle 2, the ratchet cable 7 can be tensioned. Under the action of the first torsion spring shaft 201, the end of the locking buckle 3 can be tightly attached to the ratchet cable 7 to achieve locking and fixation.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 4. A stop pin 202 is installed on one side of the operating buckle 2. A lock tongue 502 is installed at the lower end of the telescopic lock 5. A lock hole 501 is provided at the upper end of the telescopic lock 5. Pressing the telescopic lock 5 will cause the lock tongue 502 to pop out and block the stop pin 202 on the operating buckle 2, so as to prevent the locking buckle 3 from opening.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 3. The locking buckle 3 is rotatably connected to the housing 1 via the second torsion spring shaft 301. A ratchet block 302 is provided below one end of the locking buckle 3. When fixing, the ratchet cable tie 7 is wrapped around and fixed at the required fixing position of the automatic vehicle frame beam. One end of the ratchet cable tie 7 is inserted into the locking buckle 3 and tightened to achieve initial fixing. The locking buckle 3 has a rectangular cutout, which can effectively limit the ratchet cable tie 7.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1. The upper surface of the other end of the locking buckle 3 is provided with anti-slip texture 4. The anti-slip texture 4 increases the friction between the locking buckle 3 and the hand, making the buckling operation more convenient.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 2. The outer wall of the soft cover 6 is provided with anti-slip teeth 601, and the interior of the soft cover 6 is provided with positioning holes 602. The soft cover 6 is connected to the housing 1 through the positioning holes 602 and screws. The soft cover 6 can prevent wear on the bicycle fixing point, and the anti-slip teeth 601 can increase the friction with the fixing point and improve the fixing firmness.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 1. The carrier positioning component 10 includes a first ring buckle 101 and a second ring buckle 103. The lower end of the first ring buckle 101 is rotatably connected to the second ring buckle 103 through a hinge 102. The second ring buckle 103 is connected to the first ring buckle 101 through a fastener 104. This fixing device is connected to the carrier through the carrier positioning component 10. When fixing, the second ring buckle 103 is opened by rotating the hinge 102 and fastened to the fixed position of the carrier. Then, it is locked by the fastener 104 to achieve fixing.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 1. The telescopic lock 5 and the ratchet cable 7 are at a certain angle, and the lock body faces the user when in use, which is more in line with ergonomics.

[0044] Working principle: The fixing device is fixed to the carrier by the carrier positioning part 10, while the ratchet cable tie 7 is fixed around the position required to be fixed on the frame beam of the automatic vehicle. One end of the ratchet cable tie 7 is inserted into the locking buckle 3 and tightened to achieve initial fixation. To further improve the fixing force, the operating buckle 2 can be turned to push the ratchet cable tie 7 to tighten. Under the action of the first torsion spring shaft 201, the end of the locking buckle 3 can be tightly attached to the ratchet cable tie 7 to achieve locking and fixing.

[0045] To prevent theft, after tightening the ratchet cable 7, pressing the telescopic lock 5 will cause the bolt 502 to pop out and block the stop pin 202 on the operating buckle 2 to prevent the locking buckle 3 from opening. After opening the telescopic lock 5 with the key, the bolt 502 will retract and release the locking buckle 3.

[0046] When unlocking, move the operating buckle 2 towards the locking buckle 3 and press it down, so that the operating buckle 2 presses down on the locking buckle 3, forcing the locking buckle 3 to lift up and release the ratchet cable tie 7, thereby releasing the bicycle frame beam.

[0047] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as exemplary and non-limiting, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within the present invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
