Abstract
The present invention relates to a pedal for a bicycle capable of adjusting its posture, and more particularly to a pedal for a bicycle capable of adjusting the posture of the pedal platform so that the posture (angle) of the pedal platform is also adjusted in synchronization with the posture of the driver when the bicycle is running.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a pedal for a bicycle capable of adjusting its posture, and more particularly to a pedal for a bicycle capable of adjusting the posture of the pedal platform in synchronization with the posture will be.
Generally, the bicycle includes a body, a steering knob, a wheel, and a pedal, and the operator transmits power generated by stepping on the pedal to the wheel through the chain.
At this time, the pedal is configured such that a pedal platform for supporting the foot of the operator is rotatably assembled to the pedal shaft, and the pedal shaft is connected to the crankshaft, so that the bicycle is operated when the pedal is depressed.
However, in the conventional pedal for bicycle, the pedal platform is provided on the left and right sides of the bicycle body, and always maintains a fixed posture in a direction parallel to the bicycle body.
Therefore, there is no problem at the time of traveling the straight route, but there is a problem that the posture of the pedal platform is constantly fixed even when the curved route is traveled, which causes the foot of the driver to be injured.
Particularly, since the posture of the pedal platform is fixed even when the vehicle is traveling in a curved path, there is a problem in that it is difficult to shorten the lap time because the force is not applied in the direction to win the centrifugal force or maximize the force transmission efficiency .

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention has been made keeping in mind the above problems occurring in the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a pedal for a bicycle which is capable of adjusting the posture of the pedal,
In addition, the present invention provides a bicycle pedal capable of adjusting the posture so that the pedal platform is controlled in synchronization with the posture of the driver so as to prevent foot injuries and improve the corner driving ability by making the bicycle and the driver united I want to.
To this end, the bicycle pedal capable of adjusting the posture according to the present invention comprises: a pedal shaft connected to the bicycle body and rotatably supporting the bicycle pedal; A pedal platform in which the pedal shaft is fitted and in which a posture adjusting and moving passage is formed so that the outside end of the pedal shaft is moved in a forward and backward direction at a predetermined angle, And a pivoting coupling for rotatably coupling an outer end of the pedal shaft to the pedal platform.
At this time, it is preferable that the posture adjusting movement path formed in the pedal platform has a fan shape.
Further, it is preferable that the pivot joint is a pivot rotatably assembled in the pedal platform, and the outer end of the pedal shaft is rotatably connected to the pivot.
The upper half platform and the lower half platform are vertically coupled to each other, and the upper half platform and the lower half platform are each provided with an assembly groove on which the pivot is seated.
In addition, a forward-side posture return spring is inserted into the posture adjusting / moving path between the pedal shaft and the front side of the pedal platform, and the posture adjusting / moving path between the pedal shaft and the rear side of the pedal platform Side posture return spring is inserted.
According to the present invention as described above, the pedal platform is configured to move leftward and rightward with respect to the pedal shaft. Therefore, the pedal can be more effectively stiffened in the curve running without reducing the performance in the straight running.
Further, in the present invention, the posture of the pedal platform is also adjusted so as to conform to the foot posture of the operator at the time of corner driving as described above. Accordingly, it prevents the foot of the occupant from being injured and improves the cornering ability by allowing the bicycle and the operator to be integrated.
