Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of bicycle competition equipment, and in particular to a seat tube timing chip quick-release device for bicycle competition. Background Art
[0002] In cycling competitions, timing chips are often needed to record the performance of the players and determine their rankings. Most timing chips are fixed by rolling belts or brackets. The disadvantage is that the installation and removal process is cumbersome and the steps are complicated. If there is negligence in the operation, such as the rolling belt is not fixed tightly enough, the chip may become loose and fall off due to the long-term vibration of the automatic car during the competition, which will make it impossible to record the player's performance.
[0003] At present, there is another way to fix the timing chip, which is to stick it on the bicycle seat tube. For example, the timing chip fixing device with announcement number CN210852744U is affixed to the bicycle seat tube. The utility model simplifies the fixing process of the timing chip by fixing the chip body on the number plate body, and the number plate body is pasted on the seat tube. But at the same time, the weaknesses of this solution are also obvious: first, there are two chips pasted on the number plate, and each chip is pasted with a protective pad on the surface. The protective pad is made of EVA foam and has a certain thickness, which will cause the number plate to be thicker and not flat enough. In a game, there are hundreds of people at least and thousands of people at most. All number plates cannot be stacked flat, which is not conducive to the distribution of pre-match staff. And this method will cause the number plates to be too large when put together, increasing the cost of logistics and transportation. Secondly, because the chip is stuck to the surface of the number plate, it will cover part of the picture, affecting the overall picture presentation of the number plate, which is not conducive to the brand communication of the event, and even affects the exposure rights of the sponsor. At the same time, since the chip occupies part of the surface space of the number plate, the player's race number on the number plate can only be reduced when printed or copied, which is obviously not conducive to the on-site observation and judgment of the referee. Therefore, a fixing device is needed that is firmly fixed, quick to install and remove, small in size, light in weight, and can normally present the visual effect of the number plate without affecting the on-site judgment of the referee, so as to better meet the needs of cycling events.

[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments.
[0026] Example:
[0027] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 A quick-release device for a seat tube timing chip for a bicycle race comprises a number plate body 1, a chip body 2 disposed on the back of the number plate body 1, and a race brand FIG9 opened at both ends of the front side.
[0028] The number plate body 1 is made of synthetic fiber paper. This material is very light and flexible, and can make the number plate body 1 completely fit around the seat tube, so that the connection between the number plate body 1 and the seat tube is tight, stable and reliable. At the same time, this material has a certain strength, and the part that is not in contact with the seat tube can remain flat and will not sag or fall. Moreover, this material is waterproof, and can well protect the chip body 2 embedded therein after gluing, so as to avoid the timing and reading performance of the chip body 2 being affected by rainwater infiltration during the competition.
[0029] The number plate body 1 is large on both sides and slightly smaller in the middle, and is in a dumbbell shape as a whole. Since other devices may be installed on the seat tube of the competitor's bicycle, such as a lock, a tail bag, etc., which will block part of the seat tube space, thus affecting the wrapping of the number plate body 1. Therefore, the wrapping part in the middle of the number plate body 1 is slightly smaller, which can better fit the seat tube and avoid being unable to be installed due to the influence of other devices on the seat tube of the competitor's bicycle.
[0030] The chip body 2 is located behind the number plate body 1, which does not occupy any screen on the front of the number plate body 1, and has a beautiful visual effect, which is conducive to the brand communication of the event and convenient for the referee to observe and judge. At the same time, it is used to record the athlete's competition time and results.
[0031] Among them, the official logo or symbolic pattern of the event is usually selected as the event brand image 9. These patterns are not only highly recognizable, but also can quickly convey the theme and characteristics of the event.
[0032] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 A quick-release device for a seat tube timing chip for a bicycle race, wherein an adhesive layer 3 is provided on the back of a number plate body 1, and a groove 4 is provided. A chip body 2 is embedded in the groove 4, and a PET protective pad 5 is attached to the surface. The inner edge of the PET protective pad 5 is attached to the adhesive layer 3 around the groove 4. A layer of release paper 6 is attached to the adhesive layer 3 provided on the back of the number plate body 1, and a lifting ear 7 is provided at one corner of the release paper 6, and the lifting ear 7 is integrally formed with the release paper 6 and extends outward. A dot break 8 is provided at one end of the surface of the number plate body 1, and the dot break 8 is discontinuous.
[0033] Among them, the adhesive layer 3 on the back of the number plate body 1 adopts removable adhesive. Since the number plate body 1 is bonded to each other and the bonding contact surface is large, the bonding is reliable, which can prevent the number plate body 1 from falling off due to vibration during the bicycle running. At the same time, after the game, when removing the number plate body 1, it can be removed by hand by breaking 8 points, and there is no residual adhesive left on the seat tube after removal, and the seat tube is as clean as before, which is an excellent experience for the players.
[0034] The groove 4 of the number plate body 1 provides an embedding space for the chip body 2, which ensures that the chip is firmly placed while keeping the number plate body 1 extremely flat, making the overall appearance neater and more uniform.
[0035] Among them, a layer of PET protective pad 5 is attached to the surface of the chip body 2. The protective pad is very thin, so that the number plate body 1 has no obvious protrusion, ensuring the flatness of the number plate body 1. At the same time, the PET protective pad 5 has a certain hardness and strength, which can protect the chip body 2 from damage due to external reasons such as accidental squeezing. And the protective pad of PET material has no effect on the signal transmission of the chip body 2. After gluing, the chip body 2 is equivalent to being embedded between the two layers of number plates, which better avoids rainwater from infiltrating and affecting the reading performance of the chip body 2.
[0036] Among them, on the adhesive layer 3 set on the back of the number plate body 2, there is a layer of release paper 6 to protect the adhesive layer 3. A corner of the release paper 6 is provided with a lifting ear 7, which can be easily opened by hand without the help of other tools. At the same time, the number plate body 1 is provided with discontinuous points 8, which are convenient for tearing by hand when removing. In this way, both installation and removal greatly facilitate the use of the players and improve the user experience.
[0037] The working principle of the seat tube timing chip quick release device for bicycle competition is as follows: when in use, the release paper 6 is peeled off through the lifting ear 7 on the back of the number plate body 1, and then the back of the number plate body 1 is folded inwards and aligned with the middle position of the front part of the bicycle seat tube axis, and then symmetrically unfolded from both sides to the back, and symmetrically overlapped and pasted from head to tail, so that the chip body 2 can be firmly and stably fixed on the bicycle, and the operation is simple and convenient. It can be seen that there is a clear distance between the chip body 2 and the bicycle seat tube, avoiding the interference problem caused by the chip body 2 being close to the metal seat tube of the bicycle.
[0038] It should be noted that the chip body 2 adopts the ultra-high frequency passive electronic tag in the prior art and does not require power supply. The specific model specifications of the chip body 2 need to be selected and determined based on the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection calculation method adopts the existing technology in this field, so it will not be described in detail.
[0039] It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present application is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present application can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the present application. Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the present application. Any reference numeral in a claim should not be regarded as limiting the claim to which it relates.
