Control device for bicycle

Abstract

The present invention relates to an operating device for a bicycle, comprising: a base member configured to be mounted on a handlebar of a bicycle; a brake member pivotally connected to the base member via a pivot defining a pivot axis; a control member pivotally connected to the base member; a circuit unit disposed on the control member; a power supply unit disposed on the control member and electrically connected to the circuit unit; and an operating member disposed on the control member, the operating member including at least one pressing unit, and triggering the circuit unit to generate a signal by operating the pressing unit.

Claims

1. A control device for a bicycle, comprising: A base member configured to be mounted on a handlebar of a bicycle; a brake member pivotally connected to the base member via a pivot defining a pivot axis; a control member pivotally connected to the pivot and disposed in a first direction with the brake member; a circuit unit disposed on the control member; a power supply unit disposed on the control member and electrically connected to the circuit unit; and an operating member comprising at least one pressing unit, and triggering the circuit unit to generate a signal by operating the pressing unit; wherein the control member includes a first end near the pivot axis and a second end away from the pivot axis; wherein the power supply unit is disposed on the control member and closer to the first end and adjacent to the pivot axis; wherein the pivot further defines a radially extending transverse axis perpendicular to the pivot axis and extending along the first direction, the transverse axis passing through the battery supply unit; The power supply unit includes a housing and a battery. The housing is detachably disposed on the control component, and the battery is disposed inside the housing.

2. The operating device for a bicycle as described in claim 1, wherein the circuit unit is located closer to the second end.

3. The operating device for a bicycle as claimed in claim 1, wherein the circuit unit includes at least one electrical switch, and the circuit unit generates the signal by triggering the at least one electrical switch via the operating member.

4. The operating device for a bicycle as claimed in claim 1, wherein the operating member includes a plurality of the pressing units, the plurality of pressing units including a first pressing unit and a second pressing unit, the first pressing unit being pivotally connected to a first pressing axis of the control member; the second pressing unit being pivotally connected to a second pressing axis of the control member; and the first pressing axis being closer to the first end; the second pressing axis being closer to the second end.

5. The operating device for a bicycle as claimed in claim 4, wherein, viewed in the direction of the pivot axis, the first pressing unit and the second pressing unit are arranged vertically along the control member.

6. The operating device for a bicycle as claimed in claim 4, wherein, viewed in the direction of the pivot axis, the first pressing axis is located above the first pressing unit; and the second pressing axis is located below the second pressing unit.

7. The operating device for a bicycle as claimed in claim 1, wherein the braking component has a recess in which the control component is received.
