Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of spokes, and in particular relates to a highly recognizable reflective spoke. Background Art

[0002] With the promotion and popularity of low-carbon and environmentally friendly lifestyles, cycling has been widely accepted as a zero-emission, zero-pollution mode of transportation and fitness. More and more people are joining the cycling team, and greenways dedicated to bicycles have been established in cities and even between cities. The problem of bicycle driving safety has become particularly serious. Not only at night, but also during the day, accidents such as bicycle-motor vehicle collisions or bicycle-bicycle collisions often occur. In addition to illegal driving and other violations, the more important reason is that the visibility or recognition of bicycles or cyclists is not high.

[0003] At present, cyclists often install reflective accessories on the spokes to enhance warning recognition, such as reflective stickers. Reflective stickers are adhered to the surface of the spokes with adhesive, which are easily affected by wind and sun and cause them to fall off. They are not durable, and manufacturers often do not conduct more in-depth research on the reflectivity of the spokes themselves.

[0004] Therefore, a highly recognizable reflective spoke needs to be studied urgently. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a highly recognizable reflective spoke, by improving the opening of embedded grooves on the spoke body, cooperating with PET reflective blocks and reflective paint, to enhance its own reflectivity, so as to avoid the trouble of insufficient recognition of the spokes in the past.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model discloses a highly recognizable reflective spoke, which includes a spoke body, a spoke body surface provided with a first embedded groove group and a second embedded groove group alternating up and down, the first embedded groove group having two first embedded grooves located on the front and rear surfaces of the spoke body, the second embedded groove group having two second embedded grooves located on the left and right surfaces of the spoke body, wherein the first embedded groove and the second embedded groove are used to install a PET reflective block, and the curvature of the outer surface of the PET reflective block transitions to the spoke body, the first embedded groove group and the second embedded groove group are connected by a spiral groove, and the spiral groove is coated with reflective paint.

[0007] According to an embodiment of the utility model, the first embedded groove and the second embedded groove have the same structure and both include a sinking groove and an upper flat groove, and the width of the sinking groove gradually increases downward.

[0008] According to one embodiment of the utility model, a concave flat portion is provided in the middle of the PET reflective block.

[0009] According to an embodiment of the present invention, three groups of the first embedded groove group and three groups of the second embedded groove group are provided respectively.

[0010] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the lengths of the first embedded groove and the second embedded groove are set to 10-15 mm.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the utility model can obtain the following technical effects:

[0012] By opening a group of embedded grooves that alternate up and down and in staggered directions on the spoke body and embedding PET reflective strips, reflection in all directions is achieved. At the same time, reflective paint arranged in spiral grooves is used for transition, which further enhances the warning effect.

[0013] Of course, any product implementing the present utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the above-mentioned technical effects at the same time. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
