1. A folding bicycle rack with automatic wheel fixing, comprising:
a wall-mounting structure;
a bottom frame; and
an adjustable positioning assembly;
wherein the wall-mounting structure is vertically fixed on a wall;
an end of the bottom frame is in a restricted rotational connection with a lower end of the wall-mounting structure; the bottom frame is provided with a wheel-receiving groove; and a bottom surface of the wheel-receiving groove is provided with a through hole for embedding a tire;
the adjustable positioning assembly comprises a positioning member and a-tilted structure; the positioning member is arranged at a side in the wheel-receiving groove adjacent to the wall, and is fixedly arranged when in use; the tilted structure is arranged at a side in the wheel-receiving groove away from the wall, and is in a restricted rotational connection with an end of the bottom frame away from the wall; and the positioning member and the tilted structure are configured to abut against the tire respectively from the front and rear to support the tire and limit downward movement of the tire; and
the positioning member comprises a tire limit plate; the tire limit plate is fixedly connected to a bottom end of the bottom frame; and the tire limit plate is inclined in a direction away from the bottom frame, and extends towards the wheel-receiving groove such that the tire limit plate is located at a lower side of the tire to support the tire when a bicycle is mounted on the wall.
 
14. A folding bicycle rack with automatic wheel fixing, comprising:
a wall-mounting structure;
a bottom frame; and
an adjustable positioning assembly:
wherein the wall-mounting structure is vertically fixed on a wall;
an end of the bottom frame is in a restricted rotational connection with a lower end of the wall-mounting structure; the bottom frame is provided with a wheel-receiving groove; and a bottom surface of the wheel-receiving groove is provided with a through hole for embedding a tire;
the adjustable positioning assembly comprises a positioning member and a tilted structure; the positioning member is arranged at a side in the wheel-receiving groove adjacent to the wall, and is fixedly arranged when in use; the tilted structure is arranged at a side in the wheel-receiving groove away from the wall, and is in a restricted rotational connection with an end of the bottom frame away from the wall; and the positioning member and the tilted structure are configured to abut against the tire respectively from the front and rear to support the tire and limit downward movement of the tire; and
the wall-mounting structure comprises a vertical frame and a mounting base; a lower end of the vertical frame is rotationally connected to the end of the bottom frame near the wall; the mounting base is arranged between the vertical frame and the wall; the mounting base is rotationally connected to a back side of the vertical frame around a vertical rotation axis; and the mounting base is fixedly arranged on the wall.
 
18. A folding bicycle rack, wherein with automatic wheel fixing, comprising:
a wall-mounting structure;
a bottom frame; and
an adjustable positioning assembly;
wherein the wall-mounting structure is vertically fixed on a wall;
an end of the bottom frame is in a restricted rotational connection with a lower end of the wall-mounting structure; the bottom frame is provided with a wheel-receiving groove; and a bottom surface of the wheel-receiving groove is provided with a through hole for embedding a tire;
the adjustable positioning assembly comprises a positioning member and a tilted structure; the positioning member is arranged at a side in the wheel-receiving groove adjacent to the wall, and is fixedly arranged when in use; the tilted structure is arranged at a side in the wheel-receiving groove away from the wall, and is in a restricted rotational connection with an end of the bottom frame away from the wall; and the positioning member and the tilted structure are configured to abut against the tire respectively from the front and rear to support the tire and limit downward movement of the tire; and
a width of the wheel-receiving groove is larger than or equal to a width between outer edges of the wall-mounting structure, and a length of the bottom frame is larger than a length of the wall-mounting structure, so that the wall-mounting structure is capable of being accommodated in the bottom frame after the bottom frame is turned upwards and folded.
