Electric bicycle and battery lift mechanism and battery carrying device thereof
First Claim
1. A battery lift mechanism, comprising:
- a bracket;
a carrier for carrying a battery, the carrier movable relative to the bracket along an up-down path;
an upward-force device coupling with the carrier, the upward-force device applying an upward force to the carrier; and
a locking device being selectively in an unlocked state or a locked state,wherein when the locking device is in the locked state, the locking device interferes with the battery to limit a relative movement between the battery and the bracket;
when the locking device is in the unlocked state, the interference between the locking device and the battery is removed, so that the upward-force device drives the carrier carrying the battery to move upward relative to the bracket.

Abstract
An electric bicycle and a battery lift mechanism and a battery carrying device thereof are disclosed. The battery lift mechanism includes a bracket, a carrier for carrying a battery, an upward-force device coupling with the carrier, and a locking device selectively in an unlocked state or a locked state. The carrier is movable relative to the bracket along an up-down path; the upward-force device is capable of applying an upward force to the carrier. When the locking device is in the locked state, the locking device interferes with the battery to limit the relative movement between the battery and the bracket. When the locking device is in the unlocked state, the interference between the locking device and the battery is removed, so that the upward-force device drives the carrier carrying the battery to move upward relative to the bracket.

9. An electric bicycle, comprising:
-
a frame comprising an upper tube and a lower tube, the upper tube having a front end, an upper surface, a lower surface, and a through hole penetrating the upper tube, the lower tube connected to the lower surface of the upper tube, the upper tube having a longitudinal axis; and a battery lift mechanism mounted on the frame, the battery lift mechanism comprising; a bracket mounted on the lower tube; a carrier for carrying a battery, the carrier movable relative to the bracket along an up-down path, the up-down path intersects the longitudinal axis of the upper tube with a predetermined angle; an upward-force device coupling with the carrier, the upward-force device capable of driving the carrier to move upward relative to the bracket; a stopper movably disposed neighboring to the through hole to selectively block or unblock the up-down path; and a locking device disposed on the front end of the upper tube, the locking device being selectively in an unlocked state or a locked state, wherein when the locking device is in the unlocked state, the locking device is separated from the stopper to allow the stopper to be away from the up-down path and the upward-force device drives the carrier carrying the battery to move upward relative to the bracket, so that a top end of the battery passes through the through hole at the predetermined angle to protrude from the upper surface of the upper tube; wherein when the locking device is in the locked state, the locking device interferes with at least one of the battery and the stopper to block the carrier carrying the battery to move upward along the up-down path. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)

13. An electric bicycle, comprising:
-
a frame comprising an upper tube, a lower tube, and a seat tube, the upper tube having a longitudinal axis, the upper tube having a front end, an upper surface, a lower surface, a rear end opposite to the front end along the longitudinal axis, and a through hole penetrating the upper tube, the rear end of the upper tube connected to the seat tube, the front end of the upper tube directly connected to an upper portion of the lower tube, and a lower end of the lower tube connected to the seat tube; and a battery disposed on the frame, the battery movable along an up-down path, the up-down path intersecting the longitudinal axis of the upper tube with a predetermined angle, the up-down path being substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis extending from the upper portion to the lower end of the lower tube and passing through the through hole, the battery having a longitudinal axis, wherein when the battery is to be removed from the frame, the battery moves upward along the up-down path, the longitudinal axis of the battery maintains substantially parallel to the up-down path, and the battery passes through the through hole at the predetermined angle to be removed from the upper surface of the upper tube. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
