Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bicycle shoe clip installation technology, and in particular to a bicycle shoe clip adjustment tool. Background Technology

[0002] In cycling, core efficiency stems from the rider's efficient transfer of power to the bicycle's drive system via their feet. In this power transmission chain, clipless shoes and pedals achieve a seamless connection between rider and bike by tightly linking specially designed clips on the soles of the shoes with locking mechanisms on the pedals. This allows the rider to exert force not only when pedaling downhill but also when lifting uphill, thus transforming the traditional "semi-circular" work pattern into a "full-circular" work pattern. This improves power output efficiency and riding stability. During use, even slight misalignment of the clips, even within millimeters or with an angle difference of one or two degrees, can lead to uneven stress on the knee and ankle joints during prolonged, high-frequency pedaling. This can cause muscle fatigue and efficiency loss, or even chronic sports injuries such as iliotibial band syndrome and knee pain.

[0003] The mainstream adjustment tools in the existing technology typically have a rigid, closed frame. The inner contour of the frame matches the shape of the locking plate, which can completely wrap around and lock the locking plate from all sides. The original intention of this "fully locked from all sides" design is to firmly grasp the locking plate during adjustment and prevent it from sliding.

[0004] However, to ensure sufficient structural strength to withstand the torque exerted by the adjusting screws, these tools are typically made of heavy metal or hard plastic, resulting in their bulky size and considerable weight. This contradicts the lightweight and portable principles pursued in cycling. For long-distance cyclists or racers who need to carry tools for fine-tuning along the way, such a cumbersome tool is undoubtedly a burden. Secondly, the "all-around locking" structure is extremely inconvenient when using clipless shoes with limited installation space or protruding components in the pedal mechanism that interfere with the adjustment. The tool often cannot be smoothly inserted into the cleats, or the pedals must be removed first to operate, greatly increasing the complexity and time cost of adjustment.

[0005] Therefore, in response to the above problems, the applicant needs to design a bicycle lock shoe adjustment tool to solve the problem. Utility Model Content

[0006] This application provides a bicycle lock shoe cleat adjustment tool, including a fixing plate with a slot in the middle. The fixing plate is fixedly provided with a first mounting block, which has an arc groove corresponding to the arc-shaped lock head of the cleat. The fixing plate is fixedly provided with a second mounting block, which has a conical groove corresponding to the square lock head of the cleat. The arc groove is used to engage the arc-shaped lock head of the cleat, and the conical groove is used to engage the square lock head of the cleat.

[0007] Preferably, the fixing plate is integrally connected to a positioning rod, and the positioning rod is provided with a positioning groove. The positioning groove on the positioning rod facilitates the positioning and installation with the locking plate, thereby improving the installation accuracy.

[0008] Preferably, there are two positioning rods, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of mounting block one and mounting block two. The symmetrical arrangement of the two positioning rods facilitates precise positioning and improves installation accuracy.

[0009] Preferably, the slot is an elliptical straight slot, which provides a larger adjustment range to accommodate different installation angles of the locking plate.

[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the slot is provided with a smooth surface, which reduces friction with the locking plate, making fine adjustment smoother and more precise.

[0011] Preferably, the thickness of the first and second mounting blocks gradually increases at the ends away from the outer edge of the fixing piece. This gradual increase in thickness at one end of the mounting blocks enhances the structural strength and prevents deformation or damage during force adjustment.

[0012] Preferably, the fixing plate, positioning rod, mounting block one and mounting block two are all made of ABS copolymer material. ABS copolymer material achieves a balance between lightweight and high strength of the tool, making it easy to carry and durable.

[0013] This utility model provides a bicycle lock shoe adjustment tool, which, compared with the prior art, offers the following advantages: This bicycle cleat adjustment tool uses a combination of arc-shaped and conical grooves to precisely match the cleat, enabling rapid positioning and stable locking in confined spaces. This improves ease of operation and adaptability in narrow environments like those with narrow cleat soles. Furthermore, the integrated lightweight structure and symmetrical positioning rods not only reduce the tool's weight and make it easier to carry, but also provide a labor-saving and precise adjustment method. This allows for smoother and more precise fine-tuning, ensuring the tool maintains necessary structural strength and durability while remaining lightweight. Ultimately, this solves the problems of bulkiness and inconvenience associated with traditional adjustment tools. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, outlines some embodiments of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0018] Please refer to Figure 1 This utility model provides a bicycle lock shoe adjustment tool, including a fixing plate 1, with a slot 2 in the middle of the fixing plate 1, a mounting block 3 fixedly mounted on the fixing plate 1, and an arc groove 4 corresponding to the arc-shaped lock head of the lock shoe. A mounting block 5 fixedly mounted on the fixing plate 1, and a conical groove 6 corresponding to the square lock head of the lock shoe.

[0019] like Figure 2 As shown, the fixing plate 1 is integrally connected with the positioning rod 7, and the positioning rod 7 is provided with the positioning groove 8. There are two positioning rods 7, and the two positioning rods 7 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the mounting block 1 3 and the mounting block 2 5. The positioning rod 7, together with the positioning groove 8, is used to accurately align the first metatarsal bone and the fifth metatarsal bone of the human foot, thereby achieving accurate calibration of the position of the first metatarsal bone and the fifth metatarsal bone, effectively improving the installation accuracy.

[0020] To provide a wider adjustment range and accommodate different installation angles of the locking plate, the slot 2 is designed as an elliptical straight slot, and the inner wall of the slot 2 is provided with a smooth surface 9, thereby reducing friction with the locking plate and making fine adjustment smoother and more precise.

[0021] like Figure 3As shown, in order to enhance structural strength and avoid deformation or damage during stress adjustment, the thickness of mounting block 1 3 and mounting block 2 5 gradually increases at the ends away from the outer edge of the fixing piece 1.

[0022] Fixing plate 1, positioning rod 7, mounting block one 3 and mounting block two 5 are all made of ABS copolymer material (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer), achieving a balance between lightweight and high strength, making the tool easy to carry and durable.

[0023] In summary, when using this bicycle cycling shoe cleat adjustment tool, align the tool's slot 2 with the cleat already installed on the sole of the cycling shoe, so that the arc-shaped locking head at the front of the cleat engages in the tool's arc-shaped groove 4, while simultaneously embedding the square locking head at the rear of the cleat into the tool's conical groove 6. At this point, the tool uses these two precisely matched grooves to laterally limit the cleat from its key stress points, while the edge of the slot 2 provides longitudinal limiting, thus achieving stable locking without completely encasing the cleat. When adjustment is needed, the user uses the positioning rods 7 on both sides of the tool, using the entire tool as a lever and the friction between the cleat and the sole screw as a fulcrum. By slightly twisting the tool, the cleat can be moved slightly and precisely within the elongated mounting hole on the sole to adjust its front-to-back, left-to-right position and angle, ultimately achieving efficient and precise adjustment.

[0024] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
