Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of carbon fiber cranks for bicycles, specifically, to a carbon fiber crank. Background Technology

[0002] As the most common means of transportation, bicycles are widely used. People often choose bicycles for short-distance travel. During the pedaling process, the force is greatest in the downward movement. The bicycle crank is subjected to torque force and axial support force. Due to the different positions of the external force applied to the bicycle crank, after a long period of riding, the bicycle crank is prone to deformation due to material issues, resulting in a decrease in structural strength and affecting the riding experience. Therefore, the structural strength of the bicycle crank is particularly important.

[0003] Currently, bicycle cranks on the market are usually made of aluminum alloy, which is inexpensive to manufacture. However, aluminum alloy cranks are relatively heavy, and heavier components require riders to expend more physical effort to increase speed. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the problems in the related technologies, this utility model proposes a carbon fiber crank to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the existing related technologies.

[0005] Therefore, the specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A carbon fiber crank includes a first metal matrix, a lightweight non-metallic filler is installed inside the first metal matrix, a second metal matrix is ​​provided on one side of the first metal matrix, and a carbon fiber coating is provided around the second metal matrix.

[0007] Furthermore, the first metal substrate has a central shaft interface inside, a bridge-type body on one side of the central shaft interface, and a foot pedal interface on one side of the bridge-type body.

[0008] Furthermore, the central axis interface, the bridge-type body, and the foot pedal interface are installed inside the first metal base.

[0009] Furthermore, a central shaft groove and an interface groove are respectively formed inside the second metal substrate.

[0010] Furthermore, the central axis interface engages with the central axis slot, and the foot pedal interface engages with the interface slot.

[0011] Furthermore, guide sleeves are symmetrically installed inside the first metal substrate, and guide grooves are opened inside the guide sleeves. Guide rods are symmetrically connected inside the second metal substrate, and the guide rods slide with the guide sleeves through the guide grooves.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] This invention improves upon existing technology. In practical use, the first and second metal substrates are integrally made of 7075 aluminum alloy. The non-metallic filler is a lightweight foamed material, which is foamed on-site or in a mold. The carbon fiber coating material is made of carbon fiber prepreg cloth with a thickness of 0.2mm, cut into multiple layers of the required shape, and laid on the combination of the metal substrate and the non-metallic filler. Then, it is cured by hot pressing. This solves the problem that the aluminum alloy crank has a large self-weight, and the heavier the component, the more physical effort the rider needs to expend to increase speed.
