Bicycle Fork Support Rod for Stable Parking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing bicycle parking solutions lack stability, causing bicycles to easily slip off and potentially damage surrounding objects or injure people when subjected to external forces.
Innovation Solution
A bicycle holding device featuring a front fork with perforations and a detachable support rod that can be inserted into the fork blades and secured within a holder frame, providing adjustable height and positioning to ensure the bicycle's stability during parking.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a simple bicycle parking frame is used, then the device complexity is reduced and ease of operation is improved, but the stability of the bicycle is insufficient causing it to easily slip off
Solution Approach 1:
The bicycle holding device is divided into separate functional components: a holder frame for structural support, a front fork support rod for securing the fork, and a detachable connection mechanism. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently - the frame provides stability while the detachable rod ensures ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The front fork support rod is designed to be detachably connected to the holder frame, allowing the system to transition between a stable assembled state during parking and a disassembled state for easy installation and removal. This dynamic configuration resolves the contradiction between stability and ease of operation.
2Ease of operation
If a detachable front fork support rod is used, then the ease of operation is improved allowing easy installation and removal, but the reliability is reduced making the bicycle prone to slipping off
Solution Approach 1:
The holder frame is pre-configured with positioning structures and the front fork support rod is pre-designed with matching connection features. This preliminary preparation ensures that when assembled, the connection is immediately reliable and secure, preventing the bicycle from slipping off while maintaining ease of installation and removal.
3Area of stationary object
If the bicycle is parked in limited indoor space, then the space utilization is improved, but the stability is compromised and public security problems arise
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of relying on the bicycle itself to provide stability through its structure, the invention inverts the approach by providing an external holder frame that actively secures the bicycle. The holder frame becomes the stable element that prevents the bicycle from falling, rather than the bicycle being the stable element.

AI summary
A bicycle holding device for holding a bicycle that has a perforation at the bottom end of each of the left and right fork blades of the front fork thereof is disclosed to include a bicycle holder frame settable on the ground or wall, and a front fork support rod located in the bicycle holder frame and passing through the perforations of the left and right fork blades of the front fork. Thereby, the bicycle holding device of the present invention can allow the user to easily complete bicycle parking, and can provide good stability after the completion of the parking.
