The present utility model relates to the technical field of bicycles and electric bicycles, and aims to propose a separable bicycle frame.
Existing folding bicycles generally use hinged connections to perform retraction and folding. However, the structure is complex, and it is inconvenient to detach the front and rear frames, so that the outer dimension of the package cannot be further compressed.
A folding bicycle is disclosed in the invention with publication No. CN114394185A. The key points of the technical solution thereof include a bicycle frame, a front fork connecting column, a bicycle front fork, a bicycle rear fork bracket, a lock faucet, a lock faucet mounting rod and a return spring. A seat, the frame and handlebars are retracted and folded to fold and fix the bicycle together. The folding structure is complex, and it is inconvenient to detach and separate the front fork connecting column and the bicycle frame. The volume of the folded bicycle body is still large.
In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings in the prior art, provided in the present utility model is a separable bicycle frame, in which the connection structure of front and rear frames is simplified, and the front and rear frames can be easily separated, thereby reducing the package size and reducing transportation and storage costs.
To achieve the above objective, the present utility model adopts the following technical solution:
Preferably, the connection supports of the rear frame are provided on a pair of integrated supports arranged side by side, and the integrated supports are fixedly connected to the seat tube and the bottom bracket sleeve, respectively; and in cooperation with the positioning sleeves, limiting planes are respectively provided on opposite side surfaces of the integrated supports to cooperate with the end surfaces of each positioning sleeve, and the integrated supports are respectively provided with transversely penetrating through-holes to cooperate with the tube holes of the positioning sleeves.
Preferably, two positioning sleeves are fixed at the rear part of the vehicle beam; and correspondingly, the integrated supports are respectively provided with two pairs of transversely penetrating through-holes to cooperate with the tube holes of the positioning sleeves.
Alternatively, three positioning sleeves are fixed at the rear part of the vehicle beam; and correspondingly, the integrated supports are respectively provided with three pairs of transversely penetrating through-holes to cooperate with the tube holes of the positioning sleeves.
Further, the integrated supports are sheet metal components.
The present utility model has the following beneficial effects:
Description of the figures: 1. front frame; 1-1. vehicle beam; 1-2. steering sleeve; 1-3. positioning sleeve (A); 1-4. positioning sleeve (B); 1-5. positioning base; 2. rear frame; 2-1. seat tube; 2-2. bottom bracket sleeve; 2-3. lower fork; 2-4. diagonal fork; 2-5. rear connector; 2-6. first connection support; 2-7. second connection support; 2-8. sheet metal component (A); 2-9. sheet metal component (B); 2-10. bottom bracket casing; 2-11. sheet metal component (C); 3. bolt (A); 4. nut (A); 5. bolt (B); and 6. nut (B).
In order to make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present utility model more clear, further description is made below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. The described embodiments are some of the embodiments of the present utility model. Assemblies of the embodiments described and illustrated in the drawings may be arranged and designed with a variety of different configurations. The following description of the embodiments in the drawings is not intended to limit the claimed scope of protection, but represents preferred embodiments of the present utility model. Based on the embodiments, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without the exercise of inventive effort are all within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
In the description of the present utility model, the drawings shown are only used to explain the contents of the description and claims, and are not limitations of the implementation. Any adjustment of the structure, shape, scale or size should still fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model as long as it does not affect the substantial technical content. Meanwhile, the terms such as “front,” “back,” “left,” “right,” “upper,” “lower,” “horizontal,” “side,” and “oblique” used herein are only for the convenience of description. Changes or adjustments in relative relationships thereof, without substantial changes in technical content, are also deemed as falling within the implementation scope of the present utility model.
It should be noted that terms such as “include” and other similar terms used herein specify the presence of the stated feature, element, and component, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, elements and components, and/or other groups thereof.
It should also be noted that, unless otherwise expressly stated and defined, the terms “fixed” and “fixedly connected” should be understood in a broad sense, and may be a direct fixed connection or an indirect fixed connection by means of an intermediate medium. For example, for the description “a bottom bracket sleeve is fixed at a lower part of a seat tube”, the lower part of the seat tube and the bottom bracket sleeve may be directly and fixedly connected, or may be arranged at an interval and offset and fixedly connected through a connector. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model could be understood according to specific circumstances. In addition, the vehicle beam of the front frame may be in different forms, such as a straight beam, a curved beam, and two beams consisting of upper and lower beams. Correspondingly, a set of positioning sleeves are fixed at the rear part of the vehicle beam.
Specific embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to

Compared with existing folding bicycle frames, the present utility model simplifies the connection structure of the front and rear frames, so that the front and rear frames can be completely separated, further reducing the size of the outer dimension and reducing transportation and storage costs. Moreover, different forms of front and rear frames can be matched and installed using this connection structure to form different models, thereby meeting different consumer needs. Further, the present utility model may also be used as a separable electric bicycle frame.
The above embodiments only describe the preferred embodiments of the technical solution of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Without departing from the design principles and characteristics of the present utility model, various modifications and improvements made by those of ordinary skill in the art to the technical solution of the present utility model should all fall within the scope of protection determined by the present utility model.
