Description

Foldable bicycle crank first case

This creation is related to the first case of a foldable bicycle crank, especially a foldable bicycle crank that provides a bicycle crank that can be quickly and conveniently folded, whether in the unfolded or folded state, which can be effectively fixed. case.

Generally, the horizontal space occupied by the bicycle is set in the vertical direction due to the crank and the pedal system, and protrudes from both sides of the vehicle body, which greatly increases the occupied lateral volume, and moves the bicycle in addition to riding, and is easy to get stuck to other objects. Because the pedals protrude from the sides of the vehicle body, the stacking and packaging during the bicycle transportation process are quite inconvenient. The product that is circulated in the market is to set the folding mechanism on the pedal. The general folding pedal is folded in such a manner that the folding pedal is bent ninety degrees upward or downward, and the pedal is placed on the outer side of the crank. A folding method increases the lateral width, which is not conducive to the reduction of the volume of the folding, and the design of the folding mechanism is often loose, which is prone to looseness and reduces the comfort during riding.

The creator of the case has another invention of a folding crank, and the invention certificate number is listed as: No. 162402. The invention has been able to pivot the crank fold, and the pedal is rotated by 90 degrees, and placed on the inner side of the crank, although the side is not increased. To the width, but must be operated by two hands when folding, and its structural design is more complicated, and the manufacturing cost is higher, so it is not perfect. In addition, the current self Other crank structures related to the folding of the pedals are often required to be operated or require tool assistance, or are time consuming and cumbersome to operate, and have inconveniences in their use, and need to be improved and broken together.

As shown in FIG. 1 and 2, the fixing shaft 15 is spliced and fixed in the upper pivot hole 1431, the shaft hole 113 and the lower pivot hole 1461. Therefore, the fixing base 14 is integrally fixed with the crank 11, and the fixing seat 14 is fixed. The right side has a side groove 1411, and since the crank head 12 has a curved surface 121 design, the crank head 12 is climbed by a human hand, and the crank head 12 is rotated by a finite angle with the central shaft 16 as a rotating shaft, and the crank head 12 can be rotated. Synchronously driving the pedal 90 to perform a straight extended state (shown in FIG. 10), which is defined as a state in which the footrest 90 is folded to reduce the outward convexity of the footrest 90, and vice versa. 12 can synchronously drive the foot pedal 90 to perform the reverse ninety degree rotation positioning. As shown in FIG. 9, the foot pedal 90 is horizontally extended to allow the human foot to step on, and the crank 11 is synchronously driven to Rotate the drive shaft 80 (as shown in Figure 7).

As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, it is a schematic diagram of the cross-sectional action of the slider 13 being able to be positioned or moved backward on the fixed seat 14. The protruding body 133 is inserted into the through hole 144, and the first card of the button 135 is pressed. The two recessed portions 1351 and the second latching recesses 1352 have different distances. The tension of the elastic body 136 in the chamber 134 is such that the second latching recess 1352 is latched to the latching interface 140 of the upper fixture 141. As shown in FIG. 3, the inner wall surface 131 abuts against the crank 11 and the inner wall surfaces 112, 122 of the crank head 12. The two grooves 132 and <132> are respectively closely fitted into the two protrusions 114 and 124 (as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 5). The definition of the action refers to the crank head 12 and the crank 11 therebetween. The state in which the second latching recess 1352 is positioned at the latching interface 140 of the upper fixing member 141 (as shown in FIG. 3), the crank head 12 and the crank 11 are in a state of being extended to each other or in a state of ninety degrees. The combination between the two is very stable, and there is no possibility of parts loosening or loosening.

As shown by the direction of the arrow in FIG. 3, the pressing button 135 is pressed upward and downward by the finger (such as the index finger), the elastic body 136 is in a contracted state in the chamber 134, and the pressing button 135 is lowered in the chamber 134, and reused. The finger (such as the thumb) applies a force to the protruding body 133, and the direction of the biasing force is as shown by the arrow direction of FIG. 4, so that the first latching recess 1351 is positioned on the latching interface 140 of the upper fixing member 141. At this time, the inner wall surface 131 leaves the concave wall surface 112, 122, the groove 132, <132> leaves the convex block 114, 124 (as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 6), and the slider 13 is positioned at the state of the crank head 12 and the crank 11 disappears. In order to make the crank head 12 have a finite angle of rotation in the side groove 1411 with the central axis 16 as the rotating shaft, to select the crank head 12 to be in a straight extending state with respect to the crank 11 or at a state of ninety degrees. After the user determines that the pedal 90 is in the folded state (ie, the straight extended state) or is in the use state of ninety degrees, the finger 13 is reversely biased by the finger, and the protruding body 133 is in the through hole 144. When shifting forward, the push button 135 is synchronously displaced with the slider 13, and the first click recess 1351 is displaced to further away After the interface 140, the elastic body 136 is lifted upward in the chamber 134, so that the second click recess 1352 is positioned on the cassette interface 140 as shown in FIG. 3 to make the crank head 12 and the crank. 11 The combination between the two is very stable, and there is no possibility of parts loosening or loosening.

The grooves 132 and <132> may also be replaced by bumps, and the bumps 114 and 124 may be replaced by grooves. The equivalent structural reaction of the male and female partners is included in the patent application scope of the present invention.

In summary, in this case, the shifting of the push button 135 and the slider 13 can be operated by one hand, which is very fast and convenient in operation, and the foot pedal 90 can be used in the positioning state and when not in use. The positioning status is very stable, and there is no eccentricity or looseness of the components. It can be operated with one hand. It is obvious that the purpose of this creative feature has been achieved. It has already met the requirements of the novelty and the progressiveness of the new type. The grant of a new patent is praying.
