    The invention relates to a panel for attachment to a bicycle with electric drive with a placed on a frame tube battery.
    The term e-bike is understood as a collective term for bicycles with electric drive, especially pedelecs and so-called fast e-bikes.
    A pedelec is a bicycle that is equipped with an electric motor. However, the engine only adds to the pedaling power of the driver. A pedelec is not a fully motorized bike, but merely provides support for pedaling. The fast e-bike, unlike pedelecs, also supports pedaling without pedaling.
    The drive unit of an e-bike consists of the electric motor, a power electronics, an accumulator and a control / display unit. The electric motors are designed as a center, front or rear engine. The components of the drive unit are interconnected by a wiring.
    The accumulator, hereinafter referred to briefly as the battery is running in modern e-bikes in particular as a lithium-ion battery, which is characterized by a long life and constant power output and easy handling during charging. The placement of the battery is currentlyin the porterat the luggage carrierbehind the seat tube of the creamon the down tube of the cream on the bottle holderin the frame tube
    The attachment in and on the luggage carrier leads to a shift of the center of gravity upwards and backwards, which has an unfavorable effect on the driving characteristics of the e-bike. The open wiring is particularly visible when arranged on the luggage rack.
    When attaching the battery behind the seat tube of the frame this is quite well integrated optically. The center of gravity is at the center and at the bottom so that the driving characteristics are not adversely affected. Retrofitting the battery at this point on a subsequently equipped with an electric bicycle is not possible because of the limited space behind the seat tube in the rule.
    When attaching the battery on the bottle holder of the down tube this and the wiring to the drive and the control panel of the drive are clearly visible, so that the appearance of the e-bike is disturbed. The center of gravity of the bike is not influenced unfavorably. A retrofit of the battery to a subsequently equipped with an electric bicycle is possible.
    The full integration of the battery in the frame visually represents the best solution. Retrofitting the battery to a subsequently equipped with an electric bicycle is not possible. Furthermore, the battery can not be removed from the bike for charging. The wiring effort is low.
    DE 69 506 947 T2 discloses a frame of an e-bike with a helical tube and a seat tube, which are covered with V-shaped, separate left and right side covers and a center cover. An elongate battery case is removably attached to the sloping top surfaces of the side covers. The side covers are curved to form a space between them and the seat tube to receive the engine and control device.
    DE 20 2011 000 601 U1 discloses a bicycle frame with integrated battery for an e-bike. The down tube has at its top two flattened, separated by a central part areas. On the down tube, a shape adapted in the form of a battery and a control device are placed.
    Based on this prior art, the invention is based on the object to improve the visual appearance of e-bikes with placed on a frame tube, in particular the down tube battery.
    This object is achieved according to the invention by a diaphragm for an e-bike with battery placed on a frame tube, wherein the panel a molding, at least one longitudinal groove for partially receiving a frame tube, in particular of the down tube of the e-bike, at least one cable management, a receiving portion for an electrical connector with the battery for the e-bike and the attachment means for releasably connecting the panel with the frame tube comprise a hook and loop fastener with two strips, one of the strips is arranged on the molding and the other strip is fixed to the frame tube and / or the fastening means comprise a double-sided adhesive tape, wherein the one side adheres to the molding and the other side to the frame tube.
    The seated with the longitudinal groove, in particular on the down tube of the frame aperture extends in the same direction as the mounted on the down tube battery. As a result, the frame tube in the area of the seated aperture acts higher, which optically reduces the height of the battery. At the same time, the wiring between the battery and the drive components is covered by the cable guide of the panel. In the simplest case, the wiring is guided under the panel between the longitudinal groove and the surface of the frame tube. In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the panel has at least one longitudinally extending passage for cable management. The receiving area for the connector can be configured as a recess or cavity in the form of a body designed aperture.
    In the interest of a simple retrofitting of the inventive panel on an e-bike with battery already placed on the frame tube, the fastening means comprise a hook and loop fastener with two strips, one of the strips is arranged on the molding and the other strip is fixed to the frame tube. The fixable to the frame tube strips can be designed for this purpose self-adhesive. Preferably, the strips of the hook and loop fastener extend in the longitudinal direction of the frame tube and the panel. Each panel is preferably fixed to the frame by a plurality of hook-and-loop fasteners. Alternatively or additionally, the fastening means may comprise double-sided adhesive tape, wherein the one side adheres to the shaped body, in particular in the region of the longitudinal groove, and the other side to the frame tube.
    The molding is in one embodiment of the invention at least partially, preferably completely made of an elastomer. This material allows an inexpensive production of a dimensionally stable, but elastically deformable, aperture. Due to the elasticity of the panel can be easily adapted to the respective frame tube. In addition, no risk of injury arises from the aperture. Furthermore, the weight of the e-bike is not appreciably increased by the diaphragm made of an elastomer.
    The diaphragm surface may be provided with a paint job corresponding to that of the frame of the e-bike to further improve the optical integration of the battery in the frame tube of the frame.
    A production-technically advantageous molding is preferably carried out in several parts. Due to the multi-part adaptation of the aperture to different lengths frame tubes with different length, but standardized panel parts is possible without problems. An advantageous multi-part molded body is characterized in that the aperture comprises two end portions and a center portion arranged between the end parts, extending over the entire length of each end part of the longitudinal grooves for receiving part of the frame tube of the e-bike, the middle part two laterally on the Frame tube to the plant has engageable longitudinal webs extending between two holding sections, each having one of the longitudinal grooves for receiving part of the frame tube, wherein one of the holding portions has the receiving area for the electrical connector.
    The two formed as a shaped body end portions of the aperture cause the optical increase of the frame tube and thus an optical embedding of the battery in the frame tube. One of the two holding sections for fixing the central part on the frame tube conceals the necessary electrical plug connection between the detachable from the frame tube battery and located on the battery holder on the frame tube connector. The longitudinal webs of the middle part optically cover the battery receptacle, in particular a receiving plate, and serve, if the display / operating unit of the drive is not wirelessly connected to the other drive components, as a cable guide from the connector to the usually mounted on the handlebar display / control unit.
    The longitudinal extent of the central part is preferably adjusted so that it is greater than the maximum longitudinal extent of the battery in the direction of the frame tube, on which the aperture is used. This ensures that the longitudinal webs effectively cover the holder for the battery, as long as they reach up to the top of the holder. The longitudinal extent of the two end parts is preferably matched to the length of the frame tube on which the battery is mounted. In particular, the length is determined such that the diaphragm consisting of the two end parts and the middle part extends over the entire length of the frame tube, wherein the end parts come directly to the central part to the plant.
    For optical reasons, the width of the end portions is preferably adjusted so that it is less than or equal to the diameter or the maximum width of the frame tube, on which the aperture is used. The patch with such width on the frame tube end portions then act as an integral part of the frame tube, since no parts of the panel protrude laterally beyond the frame tube.
    The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to FIGS. Show it:<Tb> FIG. 1 <SEP> the installation of a battery on a down tube of an e-bike according to the prior art,<Tb> FIG. 2 <SEP> attaching a battery to a down tube of an e-bike with attached bezel,<Tb> FIG. 3 <SEP> a rechargeable battery partially embedded in a down tube of an e-bike with an aperture attached to the down tube,<Tb> FIG. 4 <SEP> an enlarged side view of a down tube with attached aperture as well<Tb> FIG. 5 <SEP> an end view of the diaphragm of FIG. 4 from the right.
    Fig. 1 shows schematically an e-bike (1) with an attached to a down tube (2) of a frame battery (3). The battery (3) is connected via a wiring (4a) with a rear engine (5), also referred to as rear wheel hub motor. Further, the battery (3) via a wiring (4b), which is partially guided along the underside of the down tube (2), connected to a non-illustrated, on the handlebar (24) arranged control / display unit.
    The battery (3) is on the down tube (2) releasably received by a battery holder (6). On the battery holder (6) is an electrical connector (7) for separating and connecting the wiring (4a, b) with the battery (3). To carry out the charging process, the battery (3) is usually removed from the down tube (2).
    Fig. 2 shows the e-bike (1) according to the prior art with the down tube (2) attached aperture (8), which has a longitudinal groove for partially receiving the down tube (2) on its lower side in the installed position , Between the groove bottom and the top of the down tube (2), the wiring (4a, b) in the region of the down tube (2) is guided. Furthermore, the diaphragm (8) has a receiving region (9) for the electrical plug connection (7), so that it is covered by the diaphragm (8).
    Since the battery according to the current state of the art in the area of the battery holder (6) is wider than the down tube (2), the diaphragm (8) in this area two longitudinal webs (10 a, b) on the side of the down tube (2) to the plant and extend upwards to about the height of the battery holder (6). A lateral overlap of the battery (3) is avoided so that the diaphragm (8) over its entire longitudinal extent corresponds approximately to the diameter of the down tube (2). The two end portions (11a, b) of the diaphragm extend according to the battery (3) of the down tube (2) vertically upwards. As a result, the impression arises that the battery (3) in the down tube (2) is embedded. As a result, optically the height of the battery (3), which is currently a multiple of the diameter of the down tube (2), reduced.
    Fig. 3 shows finally an e-bike (1) corresponding to FIGS. 1 and 2, in which the manufacturer in the down tube (2) has an incision (13) for receiving the battery holder (6) is introduced. The introduction of such incisions (13) in the down tube (2) of a bicycle frame for receiving a battery (3) is known per se from the prior art. In that regard, reference is made to US 2010/0 133 778 A1. Through the incision (13) of the battery is partially embedded in the down tube (2) of the frame. A further improvement of the overall visual impression can also be achieved in the case of a downtube (2) cut in this way, if the diaphragm (8) according to the invention is additionally placed on the down tube (2). As can be seen from FIG. 3, the rechargeable battery (3) in the case of a down tube (2) of this type in connection with the diaphragm (8) is optically embedded almost halfway into the down tube (2). Incidentally, reference is made to the explanations to FIG. 2 with regard to the design and attachment of the diaphragm to the down tube (2).
    FIG. 4 shows a preferred embodiment of a diaphragm according to the invention with a multipart shaped body. Fig. 4 shows the down tube (2) in side view, with the right in the image of the control head (23) and left in the picture connect the bottom bracket to the down tube (2). The diaphragm (8) comprises the two end parts (11a, b) and a middle part (14) arranged between the two end parts (11a, b). Over the entire length of each of the two end portions (11a, b) extends the part-circular cross-sectionally longitudinal groove (12), as can be seen in particular from Fig. 5. The longitudinal groove (12) receives the down tube (2) partially. The maximum width of the two end parts (11a, b) corresponds at most to the diameter of the down tube (2). Toward the middle part (14), the surface (15a, b) of each end part (11a, b) rises. Both end portions (11a, b) of the panel (8) have a longitudinally extending passage (16) for guiding the wiring (4a, b).
    The two end parts (11a, b) are in each case secured against rotation by means of two hook-and-loop fasteners (17a, b) (compare Fig. 5) to the down tube (2). Each hook and loop fastener (17a, b) comprises two strips, one of the strips being fixed to the end part (11a, b) and the other strip being fastened to the down tube (2).
    The middle part (14) of the panel (8) has two laterally on the down tube (2) adjacent longitudinal webs (10a, b) extending between two holding portions (18a, b). The two holding portions (18a, b) also each have a longitudinal groove (12) for partially receiving the down tube (2). The attachment of the holding portions (18a, b) to the down tube (2) also takes place with the aid of hook and loop fasteners (19a, b), which fix the holding portions (18a, b) rotatably on the down tube. The fixing of the longitudinal webs (10a, b) also takes place via hook-and-loop fasteners (19a, b) extending in the longitudinal direction, which are arranged between the contact surface of each longitudinal web (10a, b) and the surface of the down tube (2).
    The holding portion (18a) comprises the receiving area (9) for the connector (7), which comprises a battery plug (20) which is connectable to a corresponding socket (21) of the battery (3). As can be seen in particular from the side view according to FIG. 4, the holding section (18a) extending upward from the longitudinal webs (10a, b) almost completely conceals the plug connection (7) arranged on the end face of the battery holder (6). The wiring (4 b) to the control / display unit passes through corresponding passages (22) in the longitudinal webs (10 a, b) and the passage (16) in the end part (11 b). At the transition from the down tube (2) to the control head (23), the wiring (4b) exits from the end part (11b) and is guided from there to the handlebar (24), as can be seen in particular from FIGS. 2 and 3.
    The main advantage of the aperture (8) shown in Fig. 4 is that with different lengths of down tube length adjustment of the aperture (8) can be made easier by replacing standardized aperture end parts. Preferably, the length of the end parts (11 a, b) is in each case determined such that the diaphragm (8) extends over the entire length of the down tube (2), as can be seen from FIGS. 2 and 3. As a result, the visual impression is created that the entire down tube (2) formed considerably more massive and the battery (3) is embedded in this massive down tube (2). This impression can be further enhanced by the fact that the panel (8) or its components (11a, b, 14) are painted in the color of the frame.
