Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of boat pedals, and more specifically, to a pedal adjustment device for a racing boat. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, water sports such as rowing have gradually become popular, especially multi-person rowing, which is both leisure and competitive, and has been loved by more and more people. Multi-person rowing refers to a water sport in which multiple rowers ride on a special rowing boat with pointed ends, and work together to row the oars to control the rowing boat to move along the water surface. In the actual rowing process, the rowers' feet are usually placed on the pedal structure on the rowing boat. Due to the differences in height and body shape between different rowers, some shorter rowers have difficulty reaching the pedals, and some taller rowers are restricted by the space between the pedals and the seats, and their legs and feet cannot be stretched; the fixed pedals cannot be adjusted, and the rowers' user experience is poor. Therefore, the position of the pedals needs to be adjusted to meet the needs of different rowers.

[0003] At present, the pedal adjustment devices available on the market are mainly sliding pedal adjustment devices, in which slideways are provided on both sides of the hull under the seats. When adjusting, the pedals are slid along the slideways to the specified position, and the screws and other structures are tightened to fix the pedals to complete the position adjustment. This type of adjustment device occupies a large space and has a relatively complex structure. It is mostly only suitable for single or double rowing, and requires the rower to bend over to tighten or loosen the screws and other structures. The adjustment operation is cumbersome. The internal space of the multi-person rowing hull is relatively small, and the seats are compactly arranged, which makes it inconvenient for the rower to bend over to perform complex adjustment operations, and cannot improve the rower's user experience. This sliding pedal adjustment device is not suitable for multi-person rowing.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a pedal adjustment device which is simple in structure, convenient to adjust and suitable for multi-person rowing. Utility Model Content

[0018] A rowing pedal adjustment device provided in an embodiment of the present application is now described.

[0019] See also Figure 1 , is a schematic diagram of the structure of the utility model, the pedal adjustment device for rowing comprises a pedal assembly, the pedal assembly comprises a moving part 1 and a pedal part 2, the moving part 1 and the pedal part 2 are folded and connected; specifically, in this embodiment, the moving part 1 and the pedal part 2 are an integrally formed structure. The moving part 1 is provided with a slideway 3, and the hull is provided with a locking assembly that is slidably connected to the slideway 3, and the locking assembly is used to lock the position of the pedal assembly; the locking assembly comprises a saddle-shaped washer 4 that contacts the surface of the moving part 1, and the surface of the saddle-shaped washer 4 is provided with a groove, and the groove accommodates a throat hoop 5 that is rotatably connected to the hull; the throat hoop 5 is a circular ring structure with different thicknesses at both ends, and the thicker end of the throat hoop 5 cooperates with the groove of the saddle-shaped washer 4, and the throat hoop 5 locks or unlocks the moving part 1. The thicknesses of the two ends of the throat hoop 5 are different. The end of the throat hoop 5 with a larger thickness is rotated into the groove, and the throat hoop 5 can fit tightly with the groove. The end of the throat hoop 5 with a smaller thickness is rotated into the groove, and a gap is left between the throat hoop 5 and the groove. Specifically, when the end of the throat hoop 5 with a larger thickness is rotated into the groove, the throat hoop 5 causes the saddle washer 4 to be pressed downward by force, and the bottom of the saddle washer 4 presses the moving part 1, thereby fixing the position of the pedal sub-assembly; when the end of the throat hoop 5 with a smaller thickness is rotated into the groove, a gap is left between the throat hoop 5 and the groove, and the bottom of the saddle washer 4 only contacts with the moving part 1, and the moving part 1 can slide.

[0020] When the rower needs to adjust the position of the pedal subassembly, the end of the throat clamp 5 with a smaller thickness is located in the groove of the saddle washer 4, and the slideway 3 is slidably connected with the locking assembly. When the rower drives the pedal subassembly to slide to a suitable position by hand, the throat clamp 5 is rotated to make the end of the throat clamp 5 with a larger thickness rotate into the groove, and the throat clamp 5 and the groove are locked together; when the rower needs to adjust the position of the pedal subassembly again, the rower rotates the throat clamp 5 to make the end of the throat clamp 5 with a smaller thickness rotate into the groove. At this time, the locking assembly unlocks the pedal subassembly, and the rower can slide to adjust the position of the locking assembly.

[0021] Furthermore, the locking assembly also includes a fisheye bolt 6, the fisheye end of the fisheye bolt 6 is movably connected to the surface of the hull, and the other end of the fisheye bolt 6 is slidably connected to the slide 3 to reduce the friction resistance between the fisheye bolt 6 and the slide 3, which is convenient for adjustment and allows the rower to adjust the pedal position more smoothly.

[0022] Furthermore, the saddle washer 4 is sleeved on the fisheye bolt 6, the end of the fisheye bolt 6 is fixedly connected with a fixed shaft 7, and the throat hoop 5 is rotatably connected to the fixed shaft 7. When the pedal subassembly slides to a suitable position, the rower pulls the throat hoop 5 to rotate the throat hoop 5 around the fixed shaft 7 until the end of the throat hoop 5 with a larger thickness rotates into the groove, and the throat hoop 5 is locked with the groove to complete the fixing of the position of the pedal subassembly.

[0023] Furthermore, the thickness of the throat clamp 5 varies evenly to improve the fit between the throat clamp 5 and the groove when they are locked, making the connection between the throat clamp 5 and the groove more stable, thereby enhancing the locking effect of the throat clamp 5 on the pedal sub-assembly; reducing the friction resistance when the throat clamp 5 rotates, thereby improving the user experience of the rower.

[0024] Furthermore, there are multiple slideways 3, which are parallel to each other; the number of locking assemblies corresponds to the number of slideways 3. In this embodiment, there are two slideways 3, which improves the sliding stability of the pedal subassembly during adjustment and reduces the risk of the pedal subassembly falling off the locking assembly due to severe external force.

[0025] Furthermore, a handle 8 is extended from one end of the hose clamp 5 to facilitate the rower to rotate the hose clamp 5 .

[0026] The working process of the utility model is as follows: when the rower needs to adjust the position of the pedal subassembly, at this time, the end of the throat hoop 5 with a smaller thickness is located in the groove of the saddle washer 4, and the slideway 3 is slidably connected with the locking assembly. When the rower drives the pedal assembly to slide to a suitable position by hand, the throat hoop 5 is rotated to make the end of the throat hoop 5 with a larger thickness rotate into the groove, and the throat hoop 5 is locked with the groove to complete the fixation of the position of the pedal subassembly; when the rower needs to adjust the position of the pedal subassembly again, the rower rotates the throat hoop 5 to make the end of the throat hoop 5 with a smaller thickness rotate into the groove, and at this time the locking assembly unlocks the pedal assembly, and the rower can slide to adjust the position of the locking assembly.

[0027] In the utility model, the pedal sub-assembly and the locking assembly have simple structures, and sliding is achieved through the cooperation of the slideway 3 of the moving part 1 and the fisheye bolt 6. There is no need to set an additional slideway in the hull, so it occupies a small space and is compact to install, and is suitable for hulls with narrow space and multi-person racing boats; through the thickness difference of the throat clamp 5 itself and the cooperation of the saddle washer 4, the locking assembly can quickly switch the locking or unlocking states of the moving part 1, which is simple to operate and easy to adjust, thereby improving the rower's user experience; the equipment has low production cost, a wide range of applications, and is convenient for large-scale promotion and use.

[0028] The above-mentioned specific implementation methods do not cover the entire protection scope of the utility model. Modifications or equivalent replacements of the utility model should all fall within the patent coverage requirements of the utility model. In the utility model, the above-mentioned embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present application, rather than to limit it; although the present application is described in detail with reference to the above-mentioned embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the above-mentioned embodiments, or replace some of the technical features therein; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, and should all be included in the protection scope of the present application.
