Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of bicycle accessories, in particular to a supporting mechanism. Background Art

[0002] A bicycle is a two-wheeled land vehicle powered by human pedaling, serving as a means of transportation, mobility, and exercise. Its key features include its quietness, zero pollution, lightweight construction, and ease of use, making it suitable for both daily commuting and exercise. The support mechanism, essential for the bicycle's stable position, provides support and supports.

[0003] However, in the prior art, the kickstand is an independent component, which is not simple enough, increases the weight of the entire bicycle, and is not conducive to folding and lightweighting; and is prohibited from use on racing road bicycles. Further improvements are needed.

[0004] Therefore, based on the above technical problems, it is necessary for technicians in this field to develop a supporting mechanism. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a supporting mechanism to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] A technical solution for a support mechanism includes a connecting member and a support assembly, wherein the support assembly is hinged to the connecting member. When the support assembly and the connecting member are arranged horizontally, the support assembly functions as a footrest, and when the support assembly and the connecting member are arranged vertically, the support assembly functions as a support.

[0008] A limiting assembly is provided on the supporting assembly and is used to fix the connecting member and the supporting assembly in a horizontal state.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, the connecting member is a connecting column.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the support assembly includes a connecting tube, and two trapezoidal blocks are symmetrically integrally installed on the circumference of the connecting tube, and reinforcing strength is integrally installed on the outer sides of the two trapezoidal blocks.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution, multiple through holes 1 are provided on the two ladder blocks, through holes 2 are provided on one side of the two ladder blocks, and through holes 3 connected to the through holes 2 are provided on the reinforcement unit.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution, the reinforced top surface and bottom surface are integrally formed and installed with multiple anti-sliding blocks.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution, a folding shaft is provided in the connecting cylinder, and one end of the folding shaft extends out of the connecting cylinder and is rotatably connected to the connecting piece.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution, the other end of the folding shaft is threadedly connected with a locking nut, and a dust cover is provided in the connecting cylinder.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution, the limiting assembly includes a folding sleeve, which is slidably connected to the connecting tube. A spring is provided on the inner wall of the folding sleeve, the other end of the spring is fixed to the connecting tube, and the folding axis is inserted into the spring.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] (1) The present invention is a support mechanism, which includes a support assembly and a connecting member. When the support assembly and the connecting member are arranged horizontally, the support assembly functions as a pedal. When the support assembly and the connecting member are arranged vertically, the support assembly functions as a support, eliminating the need for an independent footrest, thereby reducing weight and simplifying the structure of the bicycle, making it easier to fold. The foldable bicycle looks simple and elegant.

[0018] (2) The present invention is a support mechanism that enables normal parking of a bicycle and diversifies the functions of the pedals.

[0019] (3) The present invention is a support mechanism. When the support assembly is used as a foot support, the user does not need to manually change the support assembly from a vertical direction to a horizontal direction. The user only needs to kick the support assembly with his feet, and the support assembly will automatically become horizontal, which is convenient for the user to operate.

[0023] The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of the present invention will be described in detail below. In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. For those skilled in the art, the present invention can be implemented without some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is merely intended to provide a better understanding of the present invention by illustrating examples of the present invention.

[0024] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution for a support mechanism: it includes a connector 1, which is arranged on a bicycle. In this embodiment, the connector 1 is a connecting column, which is cylindrical in shape. A support assembly is hinged at one end of the connector 1. When the support assembly and the connector 1 are arranged horizontally, the support assembly has the function of a pedal. When the support assembly and the connector 1 are arranged vertically, the support assembly has the function of supporting, eliminating the need for an independent foot support, which not only reduces the weight but also makes the structure of the bicycle simpler and facilitates folding. The foldable bicycle looks simple and elegant.

[0025] In this embodiment, the support assembly includes a connecting tube 2, which is a hollow cylindrical tube. Two ladder blocks 3 are symmetrically integrally installed on the circumference of the connecting tube 2. The outer sides of the two ladder blocks 3 are integrally installed with a reinforcing force 4. The reinforcing force 4 increases the bearing capacity of the entire support assembly. When the support assembly has a pedaling function, the user's feet are placed on the two ladder blocks 3, which is more labor-saving. When the support assembly has a supporting function, the two ladder blocks 3 and the outer sides of the connecting tube 2 are in contact with the ground.

[0026] In this embodiment, in order to reduce the weight of the entire support assembly, multiple through holes 1 5 are opened on the two ladder blocks 3, through holes 2 6 are opened on one side of the two ladder blocks 3, and through holes 3 8 are opened on the reinforcement part 4.

[0027] In this embodiment, multiple anti-slip blocks 9 are integrally formed and mounted on the top surface of the reinforcing member 4 and the ground. When the reinforcing member 4 contacts the ground, the multiple anti-slip blocks 9 increase the friction between the user's foot and the reinforcing member 4, reducing the risk of slipping while riding a bicycle.

[0028] In this embodiment, a folding shaft 11 is provided in the connecting tube 2, one end of the folding shaft 11 extends out of the connecting tube 2 and is rotatably connected to the connecting member 1, and a locking nut 12 is threadedly connected to the other end of the folding shaft 11. A dust cover 13 is provided in the connecting tube 2, and the dust cover 13 reduces the entry of dust into the connecting tube 2.

[0029] In this embodiment, a limiting assembly is provided on the connecting tube 2, wherein the limiting assembly includes a folding sleeve 14, which is slidably connected to the connecting tube 2, and a spring 15 is provided on the inner wall of the folding sleeve 14, and the other end of the spring 15 is fixed to the connecting sleeve, and the folding shaft 11 is inserted into the spring 15. The folding sleeve 14 is moved toward the outside of the connecting tube 2, and the folding sleeve 14 compresses the spring 15, exposing the rotating connection between the connecting member 1 and the folding shaft 11, and then the folding shaft 11 is rotated to contact the support assembly with the ground, and the support assembly plays a supporting role.

[0030] When riding, the support assembly and the connecting piece 1 are in a straight line. Under the pressure of the spring 15, the folding sleeve 14 moves toward the connecting piece 1, and the support assembly and the connecting piece 1 are put into the folding sleeve 14 together. Under the pressure of the spring 15, the support assembly and the connecting piece 1 and other components are tightly fixed together.
