Abstract

Provided is an food packing material, manufacturing method. A battery pack and a electrical bike having the same are further provided. In particular, the battery pack may include a battery pack, battery array, a protecting circuit module, and a connection terminal section. The battery case may be formed as cylindrical or polygon. The battery array may include a plurality of batteries formed as multi-stage within the battery pack. The protecting circuit module may be provided between an upper portion of the battery array and an upper surface of the battery pack. A connection terminal portion may be formed at the lower stage of the battery pack and may include a power terminal and a control terminal. By providing the battery pack as bottle shape, the electrical bike can selectively accommodate the bottle for the bike and the battery pack.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electrical bike, comprising:
a battery pack formed as cylindrical or polygon shape, the battery pack comprising a battery array that has a plurality of batteries is disposed as multi-stages within the battery pack;
a protecting circuit module provided between an upper portion of the battery array and an upper surface of an battery pack,
a connecting terminal portion disposed on a lower stage of the battery pack and including a power terminal and a control terminal;
a bottle cage forming a first support portion for supporting the battery pack and further forming an external terminal having a plurality of connectors that electrically connect each terminal of the connection terminal portion to an upper stage of the first support portion; and
a bike frame fixing the bottle cage to at least any one of a down tube or a seat tube.

2. The electrical bike of claim 1 , wherein forming the bottle cage forms fixed wings for restrict a lateral movement of the battery pack.

3. The electrical bike of claim 1 , further comprising a fixed member having a first protrusion formed in a shape of a first groove portion at the upper stage of the battery pack, wherein the fixed member is fixed to the bike frame and inserted into the first groove portion of the upper portion of the battery pack to fix the battery pack.

4. The electrical bike of claim 3 , wherein the fixed member includes;
a second support fixed to the bike frame;
an extension extending from the second support portion to an upper side of the battery pack wherein the extension is provided with a first fixed protrusion; and
an adjustment mechanism for regulating an access to the fixed protrusion.

5. The electrical bike of claim 4 , wherein the adjustment mechanism regulates access to the first fixed protrusion in a screw-like manner.

6. The electrical bike of claim 5 , wherein an adjustment mechanism further includes a lock capable of rotating through a separate key.

7. The electrical bike of claim 1 , wherein the external terminal portion protrudes from an upper surface of the first support portion and a step is formed at a lower stage of the battery pack to insert the external terminal portion.

8. The electrical bike of claim 7 , wherein a second fixed protrusion is formed at the upper surface of the first support portion and, wherein a second groove portion corresponding to the second fixed protrusion is formed at the lower stage of the battery pack.

9. The electrical bike of claim 1 , wherein the connection terminal portion of the lower stage of the battery pack is formed to be protruded, and the first support portion forms a step for accommodating the connection terminal portion.

10. The electrical bike of claim 9 , wherein a third fixed protrusion is formed at the lower stage of the battery pack, a third groove corresponding to the third fixed protrusion is in the first support portion.

11. The electrical bike of claim 1 , wherein, a step into which the first support portion is inserted to a predetermined depth is formed at the lower stage battery pack.

12. The electrical bike of claim 1 , wherein the battery pack is formed to have a shape and a size of the bottle for the electrical bike and the bottle cage selectively accommodates any one of the battery pack or the bottle for the electrical bike.

13. The electrical bike of claim 1 , wherein the terminal of the connection terminal portion and each connector of the external terminal portion are connected in an insertion manner.
