[0042] The applicant has found that the configuration of a conventional bicycle stand is generally as follows:

[0043] 1. The bicycle comes with a built-in stand, which is connected to the rear fork of the bicycle. The bicycle relies on the built-in stand for support when not in use. However, this support method cannot allow the bicycle to stand vertically, which brings inconvenience to display.

[0044] 2. The bicycle is supported by an auxiliary bracket. When the auxiliary bracket supports the bicycle, the front wheel or rear wheel of the bicycle needs to be stuck in the gap of the auxiliary bracket. Although this support method can make the bicycle stand vertically, the auxiliary bracket will block the lines of the bicycle to a large extent. For example, the auxiliary bracket will block the front and rear wheels of the bicycle, which also brings inconvenience to the display.

[0045] To solve the above problems, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 One embodiment of the present application provides a bicycle stand 100, comprising a base 10, an upright arm 20, and a locking member 30. The base 10 is used to be supported on a support surface, and the upright arm 20 is connected to the base 10 and extends upward relative to the base 10 in a direction away from the support surface. Generally, the support surface is a plane, and the bicycle 200 is supported on the plane. The locking member 30 is installed at one end of the upright arm 20 away from the base 10. The locking member 30 is used to be inserted into the pedal mounting hole 202 of the crank 201 of the bicycle 200 supported on the support surface to lock and fix the crank 201 to the upright arm 20, so that the bicycle 200 is in an upright state.

[0046] It should be noted that the bicycle 200 being in an upright state means that the bicycle 200 stands vertically, that is, the plane where the bicycle 200 is located is perpendicular to the supporting surface.

[0047] The bicycle stand 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application supports a bicycle 200 with a base 10 disposed on a support surface, an arm 20 extending away from the support surface relative to the base 10, and a locking member 30 mounted on the distal end of the arm 20, which penetrates through a pedal mounting hole 202 of the crank 201, thereby locking the crank 201 and the arm 20. Because the base 10 is disposed on the support surface, the base 10, the front wheel, and the rear wheel of the bicycle 200 cooperate to place the bicycle 200 in an upright position. Compared to conventional stand configurations, this design not only maintains the bicycle 200 in an upright position, but also reduces obstruction of the overall lines of the bicycle 200, facilitating display of the entire bicycle 200.

[0048] In some embodiments, the base 10 is a flat plate structure to provide stable support for the bicycle 200. Optionally, the vertical arm 20 is in the shape of an upwardly extending strip. The orthographic projection of the base 10 on the support surface covers a significantly larger area than the orthographic projection of the vertical arm 20 on the support surface, thereby increasing the stability of the bicycle stand 100 and providing better support for the bicycle 200.

[0049] It is conceivable that in other embodiments, the shape or structure of the base 10 is not limited, as long as it can provide stable support for the bicycle 200. For example, the base 10 can also be configured as a frame structure formed by multiple support bars.

[0050] In some embodiments, the plane of the vertical arm 20 is perpendicular to the plane of the base 10. In this case, when the base 10 is supported on a support surface (such as the ground), the plane of the vertical arm 20 is perpendicular to the support surface, so that when the bicycle rack 100 supports the bicycle 200, the bicycle 200 stands vertically relative to the support surface.

[0051] In a specific embodiment, the base 10 is a flat plate structure, the vertical arm 20 is a strip, and the extension direction of the vertical arm 20 is perpendicular to the surface of the base 10 .

[0052] It is understandable that in some other embodiments, the plane where the vertical arm 20 is located may also be non-perpendicular to the plane where the base 10 is located, such as setting the angle between the plane where the vertical arm 20 is located and the plane where the base 10 is located to be greater than 0° and less than 90°.

[0053] Furthermore, the height of the vertical arm 20 of the bicycle stand 100 provided by the present application can ensure that when the crank 201 is locked to the vertical arm 20, the crank 201 is in a horizontal position. That is, when the bicycle 200 is in an upright position, the extension direction of the crank 201 is parallel to the supporting surface. The horizontal position of the crank 201 can achieve a better display effect.

[0054] In some embodiments, the locking member 30 is adjustably mounted on the upright arm 20, so that the locking member 30 can be adjusted to a target position relative to the upright arm 20, thereby placing the bicycle 200 in an upright position. With this arrangement, the bicycle stand 100 can be adapted to different types of bicycles 200, thereby supporting different types of bicycles 200 in an upright position.

[0055] Specifically, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The vertical arm 20 is provided with an adjustment slot 21 extending longitudinally along the extension direction of the vertical arm 20. At least a portion of the locking member 30 slides within the adjustment slot 21. When the locking member 30 slides to a target position within the adjustment slot 21, the locking member 30 locks the crank 201 with the vertical arm 20, placing the bicycle 200 in an upright position. In this embodiment, by providing the adjustment slot 21 to adjust the position of the locking member 30 relative to the vertical arm 20, different types of bicycles 200 can be supported while maintaining the same position (e.g., the bicycle 200 is in an upright position with the crank 201 parallel to the support surface).

[0056] It should be noted here that although there are various types of bicycles 200, the height of the center axis of the bicycle 200 from the support surface is set within a certain range, so the extension length of the adjustment groove 21 does not need to be too long, as long as it can meet the support requirements of different types of bicycles 200.

[0057] It is understandable that in some other embodiments, the adjustment slot 21 can be omitted on the vertical arm 20, and the position of the locking member 30 and the vertical arm 20 can be adjusted by other means, such as providing multiple adjustment holes on the vertical arm 20. The locking member 30 can change its position relative to the vertical arm 20 by passing through different adjustment holes, thereby adapting to different types or models of bicycles 200.

[0058] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 The adjustment slot 21 is provided along a first direction through the vertical arm 20. One end of the locking member 30 along the first direction is disposed within the adjustment slot 21, and the other end thereof passes through the adjustment slot 21 and is disposed in the crank 201 mounting hole of the crank 201, thereby locking the crank 201 to the vertical arm 20. The first direction intersects with the extension direction of the vertical arm 20. In some specific embodiments, the first direction is the thickness direction of the vertical arm 20.

[0059] With the above arrangement, when the bicycle stand 100 is used to support the bicycle 200, the locking member 30 is inserted into the adjustment slot 21 along the first direction, and the portion extending out of the adjustment slot 21 is inserted into the pedal mounting hole 202 of the crank 201. After the locking member 30 is adjusted to the target position in the adjustment slot 21, the crank 201 and the upright arm 20 are locked, thereby placing the bicycle 200 in an upright position.

[0060] In some specific embodiments, the locking member 30 includes a first locking screw 31, which includes a first head portion 312 and a first screw portion 311 that are connected to each other. The first screw portion 311 is disposed in the adjustment slot 21 and is threadedly connected to the pedal mounting hole 202. By screwing the first locking screw 31 through the first head portion 312, the crank 201 and the first head portion 312 respectively abut against the end surfaces of the vertical arm 20 in the first direction, thereby locking the crank 201 to the vertical arm 20.

[0061] In the above-described arrangement, the locking member 30 is configured as a first locking screw 31. When the bicycle stand 100 is required to support the bicycle 200, the first head 312 of the first locking screw 31 is grasped and inserted through the first screw portion 311 into the adjustment slot 21. The first screw portion 311 is inserted into the pedal mounting hole 202 of the crank 201 and is threadedly engaged with the crank 201. As the first screw portion 311 rotates, the first head 312 abuts against one end face of the vertical arm 20 in the first direction, and the crank 201 abuts against the other end face, thereby locking the crank 201 to the vertical arm 20. It will be appreciated that the position of the first locking screw 31 in the adjustment slot 21 is adjustable, ensuring that the bicycle 200 remains upright and the crank 201 remains horizontal when supporting different bicycles 200.

[0062] It is conceivable that in some other embodiments, the locking member 30 may be arranged in other ways, as long as it can be inserted into the adjustment slot 21 and lock the crank 201 and the vertical arm 20 .

[0063] In some other specific embodiments, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The adjustment slot 21 is disposed non-throughout the vertical arm 20 along the first direction, with a notch 211 formed at one end of the adjustment slot 21 along the first direction. The top end of the vertical arm 20 (the end surface of the vertical arm 20 facing away from the base 10) is provided with an opening 22 that communicates with the adjustment slot 21. The locking member 30 includes a sliding portion 32 and a mating portion 33. The sliding portion 32 is received in the adjustment slot 21 through the opening 22 and slides therein, with the crank 201 positioned between the sliding portion 32 and the mating portion 33. The mating portion 33 and / or the sliding portion 32 are disposed through the notch 211 in the pedal mounting hole 202. The mating portion 33 and the sliding portion 32 engage with each other, locking the crank 201 to the vertical arm 20.

[0064] With the above arrangement, when the bicycle stand 100 is used to support the bicycle 200, the sliding portion 32 is disposed in the adjustment slot 21 through the opening 22, the crank 201 is placed between the sliding portion 32 and the matching portion 33, the sliding portion 32 and / or the matching portion 33 are passed through the pedal mounting hole 202, and the matching portion 33 cooperates with the sliding portion 32 to lock the crank 201 on the upright arm 20, thereby placing the bicycle 200 in an upright position.

[0065] In some specific embodiments, a portion of the sliding portion 32 slides within the adjustment slot 21, while the remaining portion extends through the notch 211 and is inserted into the pedal mounting hole 202. The mating portion 33 includes a second locking screw 331. The second screw portion 3311 of the second locking screw 331 extends through the pedal mounting hole 202 at its other end and is threadedly engaged with the sliding portion 32. The second head portion 3312 of the second locking screw 331 abuts against one end surface of the crank 201, while the other end surface of the crank 201 abuts and locks against the upright arm 20. In this manner, the second screw portion 3311 abuts against the sliding portion 32, clamping the crank 201 between the upright arm 20 and the second head portion 3312. At this point, the crank 201 is locked to the upright arm 20, placing the bicycle 200 in an upright position.

[0066] In some other embodiments, participation Figure 7 and Figure 8 If the size of the second head portion 3312 is smaller than or equal to the size of the pedal mounting hole 202, or if the second screw portion 3311 is too long or the crank 201 is too thin, resulting in the second head portion 3312 not being able to contact the end surface of the crank 201 and thus failing to lock the crank 201 to the upright arm 20, the mating portion 33 is configured to further include a washer 332. The washer 332 is disposed between the second head portion 3312 and the end surface of the crank 201. In this way, the crank 201 is sandwiched between the washer 332 and the upright arm 20 and locked to the upright arm 20, placing the bicycle 200 in an upright position.

[0067] It is conceivable that in some other embodiments, the sliding portion 32 and the matching portion 33 may be arranged in other ways, as long as the crank 201 and the vertical arm 20 can be locked.

[0068] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0069] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementations of the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present utility model patent shall be determined by the appended claims.
