Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of bicycle accessories technology, and in particular to a protective bicycle gauge that is easy to install. Background Technology
[0002] A bicycle gauge is a device installed on a bicycle to display the vehicle's operating parameters. Users can use the gauge to understand the real-time speed, time, distance, and average speed of the ride.
[0003] Currently, bicycle gauges are generally fixed to the handlebars with screws and nuts. Since the gauges are installed on the bicycle for a long time and exposed to the external environment, they are easily damaged by long-term sun and rain. In addition, the screws make it inconvenient to disassemble the gauges. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing bicycle gauges, such as inconvenience in disassembly and the fact that buttons and other components on the gauges are exposed to the external environment and are easily damaged, this invention provides a protective bicycle gauge that is securely installed and has protective functions, making it easy to install.
[0005] An easy-to-install protective bicycle instrument includes a mounting base, clamps, a return spring A, and an instrument body. The clamps are symmetrically slidably connected to the lower part of the mounting base, and a return spring A is connected between each clamp and the mounting base. The instrument body is rotatably connected to the upper part of the mounting base. It also includes a reinforcement mechanism and a protective mechanism. The front part of the mounting base is provided with a reinforcement mechanism for connecting the mounting base and the bicycle handlebars, and the instrument body is surrounded by a protective mechanism for protecting the instrument body.
[0006] To further explain, damping material is provided at the rotatable connection between the mounting base and the instrument body to increase the rotational friction between the two.
[0007] To further explain, the sides of the two clamps that are close to each other are both roughened to increase the friction between the clamps and the bicycle handlebars.
[0008] To further explain, the reinforcement mechanism includes a rotating shaft, clamping blocks A and B. Fixed bases A are symmetrically fixedly connected to the front of the mounting base. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected between the two fixed bases A. Clamping blocks A are symmetrically fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the rotating shaft. The side of clamping block A away from the rotating shaft is a semi-circular ring. Two clamping blocks B are rotatably connected to the semi-circular ring. The adjacent semi-circular rings and the two clamping blocks B can be combined to form a complete ring.
[0009] To further explain, the protective mechanism includes a protective frame, a rotating frame, and a glass panel. The protective frame is fixedly connected to the middle of the instrument body, the rotating frame is rotatably connected to the top left of the protective frame, and the glass panel is embedded in the middle of the rotating frame.
[0010] To further clarify, the glass panel is made of tempered glass.
[0011] To further explain, it also includes a disc-shaped socket, a U-shaped plug, and a return spring B. The disc-shaped socket is fixedly connected to the upper right side of the mounting base, and the U-shaped plug is slidably connected to the lower right side of the instrument body. The return spring B is connected between the U-shaped plug and the lower part of the instrument body.
[0012] Further explanation: It also includes a fixed block A, a fixed seat B, a U-shaped limit rod, a return spring C, a fixed block B, and a pressure block. The fixed block A is fixedly connected to the middle of the rotating shaft. Two fixed seats B are fixedly connected to the front side of the mounting base. A U-shaped limit rod is slidably connected between the two fixed seats B. A return spring C is connected between the U-shaped limit rod and each of the two fixed seats. The side of the U-shaped limit rod closer to the fixed block A can fit with the fixed block A. The side of the U-shaped limit rod away from the fixed block A is fixedly connected to the fixed block B. A pressure block is fixedly connected to the front bottom of the instrument body. The pressure block can fit with the fixed block B.
[0013] To further explain, it also includes slide rails and cleaning rollers. Slide rails are symmetrically fixed to the top of the rotating frame, and cleaning rollers are slidably connected between the two slide rails. The cleaning rollers can fit into the glass panel.
[0014] Further explanation: It also includes a fixed seat C, a gear ring, and a rack. The fixed seat C is fixedly connected to the middle of the mounting base. The gear ring is rotatably connected to the fixed seat C. The racks are slidably connected to both the left and right sides of the mounting base. One side of each rack meshes with the gear ring, and the other side of each rack is fixedly connected to adjacent clamps.
[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. The present invention is fixed to the bicycle handlebar by a clamping plate and a return spring A. At the same time, the connection stability between the present invention and the bicycle handlebar is increased by setting a reinforcement mechanism, making the disassembly and assembly of the present invention more convenient. At the same time, the protective mechanism is set to effectively protect the buttons and other parts on the instrument body, preventing damage to the instrument body due to prolonged exposure to sun and rain.
[0016] 2. By setting a U-shaped plug and a disc-shaped plug, the instrument body is fixed at a certain angle to prevent the instrument body from easily rotating due to the vibration of the bicycle. The optimized configuration includes a fixing block A, a U-shaped limiting rod, a fixing block B, and a pressure plate. The pressure plate presses against the fixing block B, causing the U-shaped limiting block to limit and fix the fixing block, thereby limiting and fixing the rotating shaft so that the rotating shaft cannot rotate. This allows the clamping blocks A and B to firmly clamp the bicycle handlebars, making the connection between the invention and the bicycle handlebars more stable.
[0017] 3. The cleaning roller can wipe away dirt from the glass panel, allowing users to view the instrument data more clearly.
[0018] 4. By setting a rack and toothed ring, pulling one side of the clamp can open both clamps simultaneously, greatly increasing the convenience of using this invention. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0031] The invention will now be described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which presently preferred embodiments of the invention are illustrated. However, the invention may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided for thoroughness and completeness and to fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art. Example 1
[0032] An easy-to-install protective bicycle gauge, such as Figures 1-11 As shown, the device includes a mounting base 1, clamping plates 2, a return spring A3, and an instrument body 4. The clamping plates 2 are symmetrically slidably connected to the lower part of the mounting base 1. The sides of the two clamping plates 2 that are close to each other are roughened to increase the friction between the clamping plates 2 and the bicycle handlebars. The return springs A3 are connected between the two clamping plates 2 and the mounting base 1. The instrument body 4 is rotatably connected to the upper part of the mounting base 1. Damping material is provided at the rotatable connection between the mounting base 1 and the instrument body 4 to increase the rotational friction between them. The device also includes a reinforcing mechanism 5 and a protective mechanism 6. The front of the mounting base 1 is provided with a reinforcing mechanism 5 for connecting the mounting base 1 and the bicycle handlebars. The instrument body 4 is surrounded by a protective mechanism 6 for protecting the instrument body 4.
[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the reinforcement mechanism 5 includes a rotating shaft 52, clamping blocks A53 and B54. The mounting base 1 is symmetrically welded to the left and right sides of the front part of the fixed base A51. The rotating shaft 52 is rotatably connected between the two fixed bases A51. The clamping blocks A53 are symmetrically welded to the left and right sides of the rotating shaft 52. The side of the clamping block A53 away from the rotating shaft 52 is a semi-circular ring. Two clamping blocks B54 are rotatably connected to the semi-circular ring. The adjacent semi-circular ring and the two clamping blocks B54 can be combined to form a complete ring.
[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the protective mechanism 6 includes a protective frame 61, a rotating frame 62, and a glass panel 63. The protective frame 61 is welded to the middle of the instrument body 4. The rotating frame 62 is rotatably connected to the top left of the protective frame 61. The glass panel 63 is embedded in the middle of the rotating frame 62. The glass panel 63 is made of tempered glass.
[0035] When installing this instrument on a bicycle handlebar, the user pulls the two clamps 2 apart, compressing the return spring A3. Moving the instrument so that the handlebar is positioned between the two clamps 2, and then releasing the clamps 2, the return spring A3 resets and pushes the two clamps 2 to firmly clamp the handlebar. Then, rotating the shaft 52 90 degrees clockwise, the clamp A53 rotates 90 degrees clockwise with the shaft 52. During this 90-degree rotation, the two adjacent clamps B54 contact the handlebar and rotate towards each other, ultimately causing them to... The adjacent clamp A53 and two clamps B54 combine to form a ring, and the bicycle handlebars are located in the ring, thereby further reinforcing the instrument and the bicycle handlebars. This completes the installation of the instrument without the need for screws, making the installation and removal of the instrument more convenient. During use, the instrument body 4 is protected by a protective frame 61, a rotating frame 62 and a glass panel 63, which prevents the buttons on the instrument body 4 from being damaged by sun and rain. The rotating frame 62 can be flipped up and opened for easy battery replacement or repair of the instrument body 4. Example 2
[0036] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, it also includes a disc-shaped socket 71, a U-shaped plug 72, and a return spring B73. The disc-shaped socket 71 is welded to the upper right side of the mounting base 1, and the U-shaped plug 72 is slidably connected to the lower right side of the instrument body 4. The return spring B73 is connected between the U-shaped plug 72 and the lower part of the instrument body 4. The U-shaped plug 73 can be inserted into the disc-shaped socket 71 to achieve the fixed limit of the instrument body 4.
[0037] To accommodate users of different body types who view the instrument body 4 at different angles, the instrument body 4 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 1. Initially, the return spring B73 is in a compressed state, which pushes the U-shaped plug 72, making the U-shaped plug 72 firmly inserted into the disc-shaped socket 71, thereby limiting and fixing the instrument body 4 at this angle and preventing the instrument body 4 from easily rotating due to bicycle vibration.
[0038] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 8As shown, it also includes a fixing block A81, a fixing seat B82, a U-shaped limiting rod 83, a return spring C84, a fixing block B85, and a pressure block 86. The fixing block A81 is welded to the middle of the rotating shaft 52. Two fixing seats B82 are welded to the front side of the mounting seat 1. A U-shaped limiting rod 83 is slidably connected between the two fixing seats B82. A return spring C84 is connected between the U-shaped limiting rod 83 and each of the two fixing seats. The side of the U-shaped limiting rod 83 closest to the fixing block A81 can fit with the fixing block A81. The side of the U-shaped limiting rod 83 furthest from the fixing block A81 is welded to the fixing block B85. A pressure block 86 is welded to the front bottom of the instrument body 4. The pressure block 86 can fit with the fixing block B85.
[0039] When clamp A53 rotates 90 degrees clockwise with shaft 52, the instrument body 4 is rotated to a horizontal angle. At this time, the pressure plate is in contact with the fixing block B85, and the return spring C84 is in a stretched state. The U-shaped limit rod 83 cannot move away from the fixing block A81, thus locking the fixing block A81 and preventing shaft 52 from rotating. This allows clamp A53 and clamp B54 to firmly clamp the bicycle handlebars, preventing shaft 52 from rotating due to bicycle vibration. This allows clamp A53 and clamp B54 to loosen. When the instrument needs to be disassembled, rotate the instrument body 4 to move the pressure block 86 away from the fixing block B85. Under the reset action of the return spring C84, the U-shaped limit block disengages from the fixing block A81, and shaft 52 can then be rotated.
[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 9 As shown, it also includes a slide rail 91 and a cleaning roller 92. The top of the rotating frame 62 is symmetrically welded with the slide rail 91, and the cleaning roller 92 is slidably connected between the two slide rails 91. The cleaning roller 92 can fit against the glass panel 63.
[0041] When dust or mud adheres to the glass panel 63, the cleaning roller 92 can be slid to wipe the surface of the glass panel 63, removing the dust or mud and preventing it from affecting the user's viewing of the instrument data.
[0042] like Figure 1 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, it also includes a fixed seat C101, a gear ring 102 and a rack 103. The fixed seat C101 is welded to the middle of the mounting base 1. The gear ring 102 is rotatably connected to the fixed seat C101. The racks 103 are slidably connected to both the left and right sides of the mounting base 1. One side of each rack 103 meshes with the gear ring 102. The other side of each rack 103 is welded to adjacent clamping plates 2.
[0043] When the instrument needs to be installed on the bicycle handlebars, the user pulls the rear clamp 2 to move it backward. The rear clamp 2 moves backward in the same direction as the rear rack 103, which in turn drives the front rack 103 to move forward through the gear ring 102, thereby moving the front clamp 2 forward. Only one clamp 2 needs to be pulled to move both clamps 2 at the same time, without having to pull the two clamps 2 separately, thus increasing the convenience of using the instrument.
[0044] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of the present invention specification, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
