Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of cranks, in particular to a foldable crank equipped with an inner pressure spring sliding sleeve. Background Art

[0002] The crank is a type of bicycle accessory. It is the part that connects the pedals and the chainring. It is used to transfer the kinetic energy from the pedals to the chainring, and then the kinetic energy from the chainring is transferred to the driving wheel of the bicycle through the chain, thereby making the bicycle move forward. The crank is the input structure of the bicycle power.

[0003] When transporting bicycles, in order to protect the bicycle frame, the bicycles usually need to be assembled and packed. However, the pedals cannot be installed directly during packing, otherwise the two sides of the bicycle outer box will protrude, affecting the packing and the overall appearance and volume of the carton. The pedals on the bicycle may also collide with external objects, causing damage to the pedals. Therefore, after arrival, users or professionals are usually required to assemble the pedals, which is very inconvenient.

[0004] In order to avoid the above technical problems, it is necessary to provide a foldable crank equipped with an internal pressure spring sliding sleeve to overcome the above defects in the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide a foldable crank equipped with an inner pressure spring sliding sleeve, aiming to solve the problem that pedals cannot be directly installed when packing.

[0006] The utility model is implemented as follows: a foldable crank equipped with an internal pressure spring sliding sleeve comprises a crank middle section, both ends of the crank middle section are provided with a waist-shaped shaft, the waist-shaped shaft is slidably connected with a sliding sleeve, the sliding sleeve is provided with a waist-shaped hole matched with the waist-shaped shaft, one end of the waist-shaped shaft is rotatably connected with a crank lower section, the crank lower section is provided with a pedal hole, the pedal hole is used to install a bicycle pedal, the crank lower section is fixed to the sliding sleeve by plugging, the sliding sleeve is moved to separate the sliding sleeve from the crank lower section, and then the crank lower section can be rotated to realize the folding of the bicycle pedal.

[0007] According to a further technical solution, a waist-shaped boss is provided at one end of the lower crank section close to the sliding sleeve, a waist-shaped blind hole is provided on the side of the sliding sleeve, and the waist-shaped boss is inserted into the waist-shaped blind hole, thereby fixing the lower crank section and the sliding sleeve.

[0008] A further technical solution is that an annular groove No. 1 is provided at the end of the waist-shaped shaft, and a limiting hole is provided on the lower section of the crank. The axis of the limiting hole is perpendicular to the axis of the waist-shaped shaft, and a limiting pin is inserted into the inside of the limiting hole. The limiting pin is slidably connected in the annular groove No. 1, thereby preventing the lower section of the crank from escaping from the waist-shaped shaft.

[0009] A further technical solution is that a compression spring is sleeved on the waist-shaped shaft, and a receiving groove is opened on the side of the sliding sleeve. The compression spring is located in the receiving groove, one end of the compression spring abuts against the side of the middle section of the crank, and the other end of the compression spring abuts against the side wall of the receiving groove. Under the action of the compression spring, the sliding sleeve tightly fixes the lower section of the crank.

[0010] A further technical solution is that a No. 2 annular groove is provided at the end of the middle section of the crank, and a rubber ring is provided inside the No. 2 annular groove. The rubber ring is located at the end of the accommodating groove of the sliding sleeve, thereby preventing external dust from entering the accommodating groove. The rubber ring will increase the friction between the sliding sleeve and the middle section of the crank, making it difficult for the sliding sleeve to detach from the lower section of the crank, and the rubber ring also plays a damping role.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0012] The utility model provides a foldable crank equipped with an internal pressure spring sliding sleeve. When folding the pedal, the sliding sleeve is pushed to separate the sliding sleeve and the lower section of the crank, and then the lower section of the crank is rotated until the bicycle pedal is parallel to the bicycle body, and then the sliding sleeve is released to complete the pedal folding operation. The bicycle pedal can be folded up, which is convenient for packaging the bicycle without removing the pedal, thereby avoiding the need for users to assemble it themselves.
