BACKGROUND

An existing shared bicycle is equipped with a smart lock, and the smart lock needs electrical power. Conventional solutions may include: 1. installing a lithium battery in the smart lock to store electrical energy; 2. placing a solar panel in a shopping basket that is in the front of the bicycle, and charging the lithium battery via a solar charging cable. The smart lock may also include a data cable and a manual charging cable. The manual charging cable is connected in parallel with the solar charging cable. In the absence of sunlight, the lithium battery can be charged via the manual charging cable. Because the smart lock is mounted on a rear fork of the bicycle, and both the interfaces of the data cable and manual charging cable are mounted on the rear fork, the cover plate may need to be disassembled to take out the data cable and manual charging cable for manual charging or data transmission, which is troublesome and inconvenient. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the layout of the circuit of the bicycle.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

A preferred embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, the present disclosure may provide a shared bicycle that can be charged conveniently. The bicycle may include a front fork 10, a rear fork 20, a handle 30 mounted on the front fork 10, a shopping basket 40 mounted on the handle 30, a solar panel 50 mounted on the shopping basket 40, and a smart lock 60 mounted on the rear fork 20. The bicycle may further include a bus 70 for data transmission and charging. One end of the bus 70 may be electrically connected to the smart lock 60, and the other end of the bus 70 may be configured with an interface 1 that can be connected to an external circuit. The interface 1 may be mounted on the shopping basket 40. The solar panel 50 may be connected to the bus 70 via a wire. The solar panel 50 may charge the smart lock 60 in the presence of light. When the shared bicycle is in a dark environment for a long time, the battery in the smart lock 60 cannot be continuously powered, so it needs to be rescued by the staff, that is, the smart lock 60 needs to be charged manually. In manual charging, because that the interface of the bus 70 is mounted on the shopping basket 40, there is no need to disassemble the cover plate, which provides a large operable space and makes it convenient for charging and data transmission.

In some embodiments, the interface of the bus 70 may be mounted under the solar panel 50. The solar panel 50 may shield the interface without affecting the overall appearance of the bicycle. Specifically, the interface of the bus 70 may be mounted under the bottom of the shopping basket 40 through a circuit box 80. One or more essential circuit devices may be installed in the circuit box 80.

Two structures of the bus 70 are as described below.

As shown in FIG. 2, the bus 70 may include a data cable and a manual charging cable. The interface 1 may include a data interface 71 connected to the data cable and a charging interface 72 connected to the manual charging cable. The solar panel 50 and the charging interface 72 may be connected in parallel. The solar panel 50 and the charging interface 72 are connected in parallel, so that the solar panel 50 may charge the smart lock 60 under normal conditions. Manual charging may be achieved by connecting the charging interface 72 to an external power source. Data transmission may be achieved by connecting the interface of the data cable 71 to a laptop. Therefore, the operation is simple and convenient, which greatly improves the rescue efficiency and maintenance efficiency.

As shown in FIG. 3, five conductive pins 2 may be installed in the interface 1 of the bus 70, three of which may be charging conductive pins, and the other two of which may be data conductive pins. The solar panel 50 and the charging conductive pins may be connected in parallel. The solar panel 50 and the charging conductive pins are connected in parallel, so that the solar panel 50 may charge the smart lock 60 under normal conditions. Charging and data transmission may be achieved at the same time by connecting the interface to a corresponding equipment. Therefore, the operation is simple and convenient, which greatly improves the rescue efficiency and maintenance efficiency.

It should be understood that the above embodiments are only provided to illustrate the technical solution of the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. For those skilled in the art, modifications to the technical solution described in the above embodiments, or equivalent replacements of some of the technical features may be made, and the modifications and replacements of the embodiments of the present disclosure are within the scope of the appended claims of the present disclosure.
