[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , an embodiment of the present utility model provides a modular bicycle operating device, which is installed on a base member 1. The base member 1 is connected to the brake handle 2 of the bicycle. A base connection portion 11 is provided on the base member 1, including: a shift controller module 3, provided with a shift connection portion 31, and at least part of the shift connection portion 31 and the base connection portion 11 can form a detachable connection structure; a decoration module 4, provided with a decoration connection portion 41, and at least part of the decoration connection portion 41 and the base connection portion 11 can form a detachable connection structure; wherein, one of the shift controller module 3 and the decoration module 4 is connected to the base member 1 through the corresponding detachable connection structure.

[0040] In this embodiment, both the shift controller module 3 and the decoration module 4 can be detachably connected to the base connection portion 11 of the base member 1 through their respective corresponding detachable connection portions. This modular design greatly enhances the flexibility of the bicycle operating device. The rider can easily replace different modules according to personal needs or changes in the riding scenario without large-scale modification or replacement of the entire bicycle operating device. For example, during long-distance riding, the rider may choose to install a shift controller module 3 with richer functions; while during urban commuting, the rider may be more inclined to choose a lightweight and fashionable decoration module 4.

[0041] Specifically, as Figures 3 to 5 shown, the base member 1 includes a first base connection surface 12, the base connection portion 11 includes a first base connection portion 111, and the first base connection portion 111 is arranged on the first base connection surface 12; the shift controller module 3 includes a first shift connection surface 32, the shift connection portion 31 includes a first shift connection portion 311, and the first shift connection portion 311 is arranged on the first shift connection surface 32. The first base connection portion 111 and the first shift connection portion 311 can form a detachable connection structure; the decoration module 4 includes a first decoration connection surface 42, the decoration connection portion 41 includes a first decoration connection portion 411, and the first decoration connection portion 411 is arranged on the first decoration connection surface 42. The first base connection portion 111 and the first decoration connection portion 411 can form a detachable connection structure.

[0042] The detachable connection structure between the first base connection part 111, the first speed change connection part 311, and the first decoration connection part 411 enables the speed change controller module 3 and the decoration module 4 to be stably connected to the base member 1, while also facilitating the rider to disassemble and replace them as needed. The selection of the detachable connection structure should consider the stability of the connection and the convenience of operation to ensure that the modules do not accidentally fall off during riding, while allowing the rider to easily complete the replacement operation.

[0043] In this embodiment, the base member 1 further includes a second base connection surface 13, and the base connection part 11 further includes a second base connection part 112, which is disposed on the second base connection surface 13; wherein, the first base connection surface 12 is adjacent to the second base connection surface 13; the speed change controller module 3 further includes a second speed change connection surface 33, and the speed change connection part 31 includes a second speed change connection part 312, which is disposed on the second speed change connection surface 33, and the second base connection part 112 and the second speed change connection part 312 can form a detachable connection structure; wherein, the first speed change connection surface 32 is adjacent to the second speed change connection surface 33; the decoration module 4 further includes a second decoration connection surface 43, and the decoration connection part 41 includes a second decoration connection part 412, which is disposed on the second decoration connection surface 43, and the second base connection part 112 and the second decoration connection part 412 can form a detachable connection structure; wherein, the first decoration connection surface 42 is adjacent to the second decoration connection surface 43.

[0044] Since the connection between the speed change controller module 3 or the decoration module 4 and the base member 1 is no longer limited to a single position, but extends to two adjacent connection surfaces, the interchangeability between the speed change controller module 3 or the decoration module 4 is greatly enhanced. The rider can more flexibly replace modules with different functions or styles according to needs without worrying about connection compatibility issues.

[0045] Moreover, the adjacent first speed change connection surface 32 and second speed change connection surface 33, as well as the first decoration connection surface 42 and second decoration connection surface 43, enable the speed change controller module 3 or the decoration module 4 to fit more closely to the base member 1 when connected to the base member 1, optimizing the space utilization between the speed change controller module 3 or the decoration module 4 and the base member 1, reducing unnecessary space waste. The close fit not only improves the cleanliness of the appearance but also helps to reduce wind resistance and vibration, enhancing the riding comfort and efficiency. At the same time, this also makes it possible to integrate more functions in a limited space.

[0046] Furthermore, the first base connection surface 12 and the second base connection surface 13 are respectively located on the side surface and the bottom surface of the base member 1, the first speed change connection surface 32 and the second speed change connection surface 33 are respectively located on the side surface and the bottom surface of the speed change controller module 3, and the first decoration connection surface 42 and the second decoration connection surface 43 are respectively located on the side surface and the bottom surface of the decoration module 4.

[0047] In this embodiment, the side connection surface of the base member 1 allows the speed change controller module 3 or the decoration module 4 to be closely attached to the first base connection surface 12 of the base member 1 in the horizontal direction, and the bottom connection surface of the base member 1 provides additional vertical support. Moreover, the bottom surface is usually relatively flat and not easily affected by direct external forces, so it can better protect the speed change controller module 3 and the decoration module 4. Through the detachable connection of the side surface and the bottom surface, the structural instability or space waste that may be caused by a single-plane connection is avoided, making the installation and disassembly processes more convenient. It should be noted that the bottom connection surface can adopt a concealed design.

[0048] Furthermore, in combination with Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a side concave portion 14 is formed by concave setting on the side surface of the base member 1, and one of the first speed change connection surface 32 and the first decoration connection surface 42 is embedded in the side concave portion 14. In this embodiment, the design of the side concave portion 14 enables one of the first speed change connection surface 32 and the first decoration connection surface 42 to be connected to the side surface of the base member 1 through an embedded connection method, reducing the thickness of the side surface of the base member 1 and at the same time reducing unnecessary external connection parts and gaps, thereby improving the compactness of the entire bicycle operating device.

[0049] In this embodiment, a bottom concave portion 15 is formed by concave setting on the bottom surface of the base member 1, and one of the second speed change connection surface 33 and the second decoration connection surface 43 is embedded in the bottom concave portion 15. The design of the bottom concave portion 15 enables more efficient use of the bottom space of the base member 1. Through the embedded connection, more installation space or accommodation space is provided for the speed change controller module 3 or the decoration module 4.

[0050] Furthermore, the first base connection portion 111, the first speed change connection portion 311, and the first decoration connection portion 411 can respectively form a snap-type detachable connection structure. In this embodiment, the snap-type detachable connection structure makes the connection between the first base connection portion 111, the first speed change connection portion 311, and the first decoration connection portion 411 more convenient. The rider can easily complete the quick installation and disassembly without using additional tools or complex operation steps. The operation difficulty is reduced.

[0051] Specifically, as Figures 4 to 6As shown, the first base connection part 111 includes a groove 1111 provided at the inner edge of the side concave part 14. The first speed change connection part 311 includes a speed change protrusion 3111 provided at the outer edge of the first speed change connection surface 32. The first decoration connection part 411 includes a decoration protrusion 4111 provided at the outer edge of the first decoration connection surface 42. One of the speed change protrusion 3111 and the decoration protrusion 4111 can be snapped into the groove 1111.

[0052] In this embodiment, the snap - type detachable connection method is the speed change protrusion 3111 at the outer edge of the first speed change connection surface 32 or the decoration protrusion 4111 at the outer edge of the first decoration connection surface 42. Grooves 1111 corresponding to the speed change protrusion 3111 and the decoration protrusion 4111 are provided in the side concave part 14 of the first base connection part 111. The speed change protrusion 3111 and the decoration protrusion 4111 can be snapped into the corresponding grooves 1111, making the connection between the first speed change connection surface 32 or the first decoration connection surface 42 and the side of the base member 1 faster and more stable. The rider can achieve connection or separation through simple operations (such as pressing, rotating, etc.) without additional fasteners, thus further improving the operation convenience.

[0053] Furthermore, the second base connection part 112, the second speed change connection part 312 and the second decoration connection part 412 can respectively form a detachable connection structure through detachable connectors. In this embodiment, the detachable speed change connector 3121 and the decoration connector 4121 can be screws. Through - holes 1121 (the through - holes 1121 can be threaded holes) matching the screws are provided on the bottom concave part 15 of the second base connection part 112. By inserting the screws into the threaded holes, the second speed change connection part 312 or the second decoration connection part 412 can be detachably connected to the bottom concave part 15 of the second base connection part 112, enabling the second speed change connection part 312 or the second decoration connection part 412 to be easily installed or removed from the bottom concave part 15 without complex tools or cumbersome steps.

[0054] The embodiment of the present utility model also provides a speed - change bicycle, which includes a bicycle body, a brake handle 2 provided on the bicycle body, a base member 1 provided on the brake handle 2, and the modular bicycle operation device as described above.

[0055] The various embodiments in the specification are described in a progressive manner. Each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments.
