[0002] As urban traffic becomes increasingly congested and environmental pollution becomes more and more serious, people are increasingly favoring green and environmentally friendly modes of travel. Bicycles, as a green and environmentally friendly means of transportation, have been widely used. Many cities have promoted urban public bicycle rental service projects to encourage citizens to use green means of transportation.
[0003] The pedals on existing bicycles extend out of the sides of the bicycle and, together with the handlebars, make it difficult to minimize the bicycle when it is not in use. Therefore, folding or hiding the pedals has been a challenge for many years. There are currently several ways to achieve the above purpose, namely by folding the pedals or cranks along different numbers of axes. However, when the pedals are folded along the axes, the thickness of the pedals and the related bearing system are on the outer surface of the crank (first obliquely outward), which means that the pedals and the related bearing system still occupy a certain distance, failing to minimize the space occupied by the pedals on the outer side of the crank.

[0032] The present invention provides a concealable pedal, aiming to further reduce the space occupied by the pedal 8 outside the crank, thereby reducing the space occupied by the bicycle when not in use.
[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 In one embodiment of the present invention, the concealable pedal comprises an outer crank tube 1, an inner crank tube 2 which can be installed in the outer crank tube 1, and a pedal 8 connected to an end of the inner crank tube 2 which is away from the outer crank tube 1. The inner crank tube 2 is rotatably arranged in the outer crank tube 1, and a fastening assembly is arranged on the outer side of the outer crank tube 1 to fasten the connection between the inner crank tube 2 and the outer crank tube 1 after the inner crank tube 2 is rotated to a preset position. The concealable pedal of the present invention can be used to hide the pedal 8 in a plane parallel to the bicycle frame when the pedal 8 is not in use, thereby saving the space occupied by the bicycle.
[0034] At present, most pedals are folded along an axis perpendicular to the axis of the crank. However, the thickness of the pedal and the related bearing system easily occupy a distance of about 3 cm on the outer surface of the crank (firstly obliquely outward), while the technical solution of the present invention can obtain at least 3 cm of extra space.
[0035] In this embodiment, the crank inner tube 2 is an L-shaped structure, one end of the crank inner tube 2 is installed in the crank outer tube 1, and the other end of the crank inner tube 2 is fixedly installed with a pedal 8. The crank inner tube 2 is rotatably installed in the crank outer tube 1, so that when the pedal 8 is not needed, the crank inner tube 2 can be rotated to a certain angle so that the pedal 8 is rotated to a plane parallel to the bicycle frame. In addition, the concealable pedal also includes a fastening assembly, which is used to fasten the crank inner tube 2 to the crank outer tube 1 after the crank inner tube 2 is rotated to a preset position.
[0036] Among them, the fastening component can be a screw hole opened in the crank inner tube 2 and the crank outer tube 1, and the crank inner tube 2 and the crank outer tube 1 are fixed by screws. When the pedal 8 needs to be rotated, the screw is removed from the corresponding crank inner tube 2 and crank outer tube 1. After the pedal is rotated, the screw is re-fixed into the corresponding screw hole to fix the position of the pedal 8 after rotation.
[0037] Of course, in other embodiments, the fastening assembly may also be other structures that can fasten the connection between the crank inner tube 2 and the crank outer tube 1 after the crank inner tube 2 rotates to a preset position.
[0038] In another preferred embodiment, the fastening assembly includes a fastening handle 4, a cam gasket 6 and a pull rod, the two opposite side surfaces of the fastening handle 4 close to one end of the cam gasket 6 form two spaced parallel cams, the cam gasket 6 is arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the crank outer tube 1, one end of the pull rod is rotatably connected between the two cams through a pin shaft 5 to form an eccentric wheel structure, a first positioning hole is provided on the cam gasket 6, and the cam gasket 6 forms an arc surface matching the cam shape on a side relative to the fastening handle 4, and the other end of the pull rod is fixedly connected to the crank inner tube 2 and the crank outer tube 1 through the first positioning hole of the cam gasket 6, the second positioning hole of the pin shaft 5, the third positioning hole of the crank outer tube 1 and the fourth positioning hole of the crank inner tube 2 in sequence.
[0039] In this embodiment, the pull rod is pushed into the fourth positioning hole of the crank inner tube 2 and the third positioning hole of the crank outer tube 1 by rotating the handle 4. The length extension direction of the handle 4 is along the axial length direction of the crank outer tube 1, so that the handle 4 fits on the crank outer tube 1 after being tightened, thereby reducing the space occupied by the handle 4 on both sides of the crank outer tube 1. When it is necessary to rotate the pedal 8, the handle 4 is rotated upward to disconnect the pull rod from the crank outer tube 1. At this time, the pull rod can be taken out from the crank outer tube 1 and the crank inner tube 2, and the crank inner tube 2 and the pedal 8 are rotated to a preset angle, and the pull rod is inserted into the corresponding holes of the crank inner tube 2 and the crank outer tube 1, and the handle 4 is continued to be rotated until the pull rod is pressed into the corresponding position.
[0040] The crank outer tube 1 is threadedly connected to the crank inner tube 2 , the inner wall of the crank outer tube 1 is provided with an internal thread, and the outer wall of the crank inner tube 2 is provided with an external thread matching the internal thread.
[0041] Furthermore, the other end of the pull rod is provided with a thread; the fastening assembly also includes a first locking top block 3 arranged in the crank inner tube 2, and a threaded hole is opened on the first locking top block 3; the fourth positioning hole of the crank inner tube 2 extends along its circumferential direction to form a first slide groove; the other end of the pull rod is threadedly connected to the threaded hole of the first locking top block 3 from the first positioning hole of the cam pad 6, the second positioning hole of the pin shaft 5, the third positioning hole of the crank outer tube 1 and the first slide groove of the crank inner tube 2 in sequence.
[0042] In this embodiment, the first locking top block 3 is cylindrical.
[0043] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the pedal 8 is threadedly connected to the crank inner tube 2, and the threaded inner tube is also threadedly connected to the threaded outer tube. A fastening assembly is arranged on the outer circumferential surface of the threaded outer tube, and the fastening assembly mainly consists of a handle 4, a cam pad 6 and a pull rod, and forms an eccentric wheel structure in structure. The fastening structure is used to realize the quick release of the connection between the threaded outer tube and the threaded inner tube. The fastening structure also includes a first locking top block 3 arranged in the crank inner tube 2, and the first locking top block 3 can ensure the disassembly and fastening of the crank inner tube 2 and the crank outer tube 1 under the action of the fastening assembly.
[0044] It should be noted that a first slide groove is provided on the crank inner tube 2. When the crank inner tube 2 is rotated, the first slide groove on the crank inner tube 2 rotates along the pull rod, thereby rotating the crank inner tube 2 and the pedal 8 on the crank inner tube 2 to a position where the crank inner tube 2 can be hidden. The first slide groove on the crank inner tube 2 extends 90 degrees along the circumferential direction.
[0045] Specifically, the hiding process of the concealable pedal under the above structure is: Figure 1 When the pedal 8 is in the state, move the handle 4 in the direction away from the crank outer tube 1. At this time, the connection between the pull rod and the crank inner tube 2 and the first locking top block 3 will become loose. At this time, the first slide groove on the crank inner tube 2 can be rotated ninety degrees along the pull rod, thereby hiding the pedal 8 above the crank outer tube 1.
[0046] Preferably, the fourth positioning hole of the crank inner tube 2 extends along the longitudinal direction of the crank inner tube 2 to form a second slide groove, and the fastening assembly also includes a second locking top block 32 arranged in the crank inner tube 2, and a threaded hole is opened on the second locking top block 32; the other end of the pull rod is threadedly connected to the threaded hole of the second locking top block 32 from the first positioning hole of the cam pad 6, the second positioning hole of the pin shaft 5, the third positioning hole of the crank outer tube 1 and the second slide groove of the crank inner tube 2 in sequence; the inner side of the crank outer tube 1 is provided with a third slide groove on which the second locking top block 32 can be installed, and the radius of the cam is greater than the depth of the second locking top block 32 embedded in the third slide groove, so that when the handle 4 is released, the top surface of the second locking top block 32 is lower than the top surface of the second slide groove.
[0047] In this embodiment, the second locking top block 32 includes a protrusion that cooperates with the second sliding groove and the third sliding groove.
[0048] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the fastening assembly further includes a second locking top block 32, the second locking top block 32 has a protrusion, the outer circumferential surface of the crank inner tube 2 is provided with a protrusion that cooperates with the protrusion of the second locking top block 32, and the inner wall of the crank outer tube 1 is provided with a third slide groove that can cooperate with the protrusion of the second locking top block 32. The connection between the crank inner tube 2 and the crank outer tube 1 is through the protrusion of the second locking top block 32 passing through the second slide groove of the crank inner tube 2, and embedded in the third slide groove of the crank outer tube 1 to fix the crank inner tube 2 on the crank outer tube 1.
[0049] It should be noted that the radius of the cam is greater than the depth of the second locking top block 32 embedded in the third sliding groove, so that when the handle 4 is released, the top surface of the second locking top block 32 is lower than the top surface of the second sliding groove.
[0050] Specifically, the process of hiding the pedal 8 under the above structure is: rotating the handle 4 in a direction away from the crank outer tube 1, at which time the connection between the pull rod and the second locking top block 32 becomes loose, and because the radius of the cam is greater than the depth of the second locking top block 32 embedded in the third slide groove, the protrusion of the second locking top block 32 is lower than the top surface of the second slider of the crank inner tube 2, and at this time the crank inner tube 2 can drive the pedal 8 thereon to rotate to the hidden position.
[0051] In another preferred embodiment, referring to Figures 4 to 6The length extension direction of the handle 4 extends along the radial direction of the crank outer tube 1; the other end of the pull rod is penetrated by the first positioning hole of the cam pad 6 and the second positioning hole of the pin shaft 5 in sequence; the crank outer tube 1 is provided with a through first mounting hole 15, and the crank inner tube 2 is provided with a through second mounting hole 16. The handle 4 is provided with a locking pin hole 10 on the side facing the crank outer tube 1, and the fastening assembly also includes a locking pin assembly, which includes an adjusting nut 11, a retaining ring 12, a locking pin 13 and a return spring 1 assembled in sequence. 4. The locking pin assembly is used to press the locking pin 13 into the second mounting hole 16 to lock the crank outer tube 1 and the crank inner tube 2 when the handle 4 moves toward the crank outer tube 1 and the locking pin hole 10 presses the adjusting nut 11; when the handle 4 moves in a direction away from the crank outer tube 1, the return spring 14 disengages the locking pin 13 from the second mounting hole 16, unlocking the connection between the crank outer tube 1 and the crank inner tube 2, so that the crank inner tube 2 rotates in the crank outer tube 1 along with the sliding groove 17 provided on the crank outer tube 1.
[0052] Preferably, the handle 4 has the same curvature as the outer circumference of the crank outer tube 1 , so that the handle 4 can fit on the crank outer tube 1 when it moves to the stop end.
[0053] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, the handle 4 fits the outer axial surface of the crank outer tube 1 after being tightened, and in order to make the fit between the handle 4 and the crank outer tube 1 more compact, the side of the handle 4 that fits the crank outer tube 1 has the same curvature as the fitting part of the crank outer tube 1.
[0054] Specifically, the handle 4 is rotated in a direction away from the crank outer tube 1. After the rotation, the locking pin hole 10 on the handle 4 is released from the squeezing of the adjusting nut 11 in the crank inner tube 2 because it is away from the crank outer tube 1, so that the return spring 14 disengages the locking pin 13 from the corresponding hole position, releases the connection between the crank inner tube 2 and the crank outer tube 1, and then the crank inner tube 2 can be rotated to hide the pedal 8 to the corresponding position.
[0055] The present invention also provides a bicycle, comprising the concealable pedal as described above. Other components and operations of the bicycle according to the embodiment of the present invention are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here. Specifically, since the bicycle adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it at least has all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described one by one here.
[0056] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the concept of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
