Description

Adapter

This creation belongs to the technical field of a bicycle component. Specifically, it refers to an adapter device that can combine different control components on a single mounting bracket to save handlebar space and facilitate the rider to operate different action levers. , To enhance the flexibility of its transformation operation, thereby enhancing the safety of riding a bicycle.

According to the fact that bicycles have the characteristics of being light and portable, they have become an increasingly popular tool for transportation, sports and leisure. Therefore, the bicycle industry has been constantly improving its various components. The bicycle is provided with front and rear wheels at both ends of the frame. In the middle of the frame, a front chainring driven by a pedaling crank and a rear chainring can be driven by a chain to rotate the rear wheels to drive the bicycle forward. In order to overcome the different force requirements of bicycles when facing flat, uphill, downhill and other driving environments, usually the front chainring of the crankshaft and the rear chainring of the rear wheel are equipped with front and rear gears respectively. The transmission is used to control the gear position of the chain at the front and rear chainrings, to adjust the gear ratio of the front chainring and the rear flywheel, and then to adjust the pedaling force.

Therefore, in addition to the brake operation units for operating the front and rear wheel brakes respectively, the two ends of the bicycle handlebars also need to be equipped with speed change operation units that operate the chain at the front and rear chain gear positions. In recent years, cyclists Different operating units such as navigation and status gauges may even be installed on the handlebars, resulting in a serious lack of space for the bicycle handlebars. Take the brake operating unit and the shifting operating unit as examples, both of which are operating units during travel. In other words It needs to press or pull the handle of the aforementioned brake operation unit or the paddle of the shift operation unit with your fingers or thumbs when holding the handlebar control direction of the bicycle with both hands, so it needs to be set in the rider's hand When holding the handle, the fingers or thumbs can move within the range, so that it can be operated effectively and ensure safe driving. For this reason, the industry has developed a variety of adapter structures such as the "bicycle operating device" of China Patent Publication No. I368589, Publication No. 201718326, "Fasteners for Switchgear Units" and other patents, enables two operating units to be assembled on the same mounting bracket.

However, due to the imperfect design of the adapter structure, the existing ones generally have insufficient support or stability. At the same time, the adjustable range is limited. As a result, another operating unit cannot fully meet the needs of different riders due to different palm sizes or The adjustment requirements of different finger lengths result in insufficient operating torque, which in turn affects the effectiveness of the operation, and may even cause doubts about driving safety. In other words, how to solve the aforementioned problems is a subject that the industry is eager to think about, and is also a subject that this creation wants to explore.
