Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bicycle components, in particular to a pedal with a mounting type reflective sheet structure and a bicycle comprising the pedal. Background Art

[0002] Pedals are essential bicycle components. With the growing popularity of cycling, adding reflective panels to the pedals for easier identification has become a common practice. There are two common methods for installing reflective panels: milling grooves in the pedal body and pressing in reflective sheeting; and using reflective sheeting directly as the pedal frame.

[0003] Among them, the setting of the milled groove and pressed into the reflective sheet will have tolerances due to machining, and the reflective sheet also has tolerances. The matching setting of the two may easily cause the reflective sheet to fall off after long-term use due to problems with machining precision or long-term wear. After the reflective sheet is dropped and lost, the new reflective sheet purchased may be even worse than the original groove due to problems with the machining batch, resulting in a large loss of reflective sheet and placing high requirements on the machining precision of this single part.

[0004] Another method is to directly use reflective sheets as the pedal frame. However, since there are pillars on the frame, this structure affects the overall visual effect of the product, is costly, and may still fall off. Utility Model Content

[0005] In response to the current state of the art, the present invention provides a pedal with a reflective sheeting structure and a bicycle incorporating such a structure. The pedals provided utilize a simple snap-on design to facilitate installation, removal, and replacement of the reflective sheeting. The pedals provided by the present invention require minimal machining precision, utilize a simple snap-on design, are easy to install and match, offer high interchangeability, and are less likely to fall off, thereby improving overall product performance from multiple perspectives: cost-effectiveness, stability, and convenience.

[0006] Specifically, the present invention provides a pedal with a reflective sheet installation structure, comprising a pedal body, a reflective sheet, and a buckle. The pedal body (on both sides or at other appropriate locations) has a slot for accommodating the reflective sheet. The reflective sheet is shorter than the opening of the slot (for ease of insertion) and has a protrusion that engages with one side of the slot (for engagement and engagement). The buckle, after the reflector is inserted into the slot and engages with the slot on one side, engages between the reflector and the other side of the slot, securing the reflector in place within the slot.

[0007] Preferably, the buckle has a protrusion on one side facing the edge of the slot (the other side) that mates with the other side of the slot, for achieving snap-fitting with the slot. More preferably, the protrusions and recesses are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the reflector and the slot, so that the buckle can be inserted from either side of the reflector to achieve snap-fitting.

[0008] Preferably, the buckle and the reflective sheet have matching shapes on their contact surfaces. More preferably, on the top surface (the upper surface away from the slot), the buckle and the reflective sheet may not completely match, but rather have a certain matching gap, which can be used to pry up the buckle or the reflective sheet with a tool to facilitate removal of the buckle and / or the reflective sheet from the slot.

[0009] Preferably, in order to press the reflective sheet after the buckle is engaged to further prevent the reflective sheet from falling, the buckle has an extension portion extending toward the reflective sheet on the side of the buckle that contacts the reflective sheet and is away from the slot (the top side). Similarly, the reflective sheet has a corresponding indentation on the top surface to receive the extension portion.

[0010] Furthermore, after being snapped into place, the total length of the upper surface (top surface) formed by the reflective sheet and the buckle is less than or equal to the length of the upper surface of the slot, so as to achieve a flat outer frame surface of the pedal after being snapped into place.

[0011] Furthermore, after being snapped into place, the total length of the reflective sheet and the lower surface of the buckle (the surface that penetrates into the slot) is greater than the length of the upper surface of the slot and less than or equal to the length of the lower surface of the slot, so as to ensure that the reflective sheet and the buckle are firmly snapped into the slot and prevent them from falling.

[0012] In addition, the utility model also provides a bicycle, which includes the above-mentioned pedal with a reflective sheet structure installed.

[0013] The utility model provides a bicycle pedal with reflective sheeting that is discreet in appearance, securely mounted, and provides a clear warning function, as well as a bicycle including the pedal. The structure achieves precise and secure mounting of the reflective sheeting through a simple buckle compensation arrangement. The resulting pedal has a simple structure, is easy to install and remove, has a high degree of fit, and is not prone to falling off, significantly improving cost-effectiveness.

[0017] The following is a further description of the utility model of "a pedal with a reflective sheet structure and a bicycle including the pedal" with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0018] See also Figure 1-2 The utility model first provides a pedal for mounting a reflective sheet structure, which includes a pedal body 3, a reflective sheet 1 and a buckle 2. The pedal body 3 has two card slots 4 on both sides for accommodating the reflective sheet 1 (the other side is not shown in the figure).

[0019] In order to facilitate insertion, the length of the reflective sheet 1 is smaller than the opening length (upper surface length) of the card slot 4. Figure 1 To mate with the recessed portion inside the slot 4, the left side of the reflector 1 has a mating protrusion. Similarly, to mate with the buckle 2, the right side of the reflector 1 is also configured with an indented upper surface and a mating protrusion. Preferably, the indented portion of the right upper surface of the reflector 1 is slightly larger than the length of the extended portion of the buckle 2. This allows a small gap to be created on the upper surface of the buckle 2 after the reflector 1 is engaged, making it easier to pry and remove the reflector 1 with a tool.

[0020] See also Figure 1 After the reflector 1 is inserted into the card slot 4 and fits into the recess on the left side of the card slot 4, the buckle 2 is inserted between the reflector 1 and the card slot 4 on the right side to achieve the reflector 1 being locked in place in the card slot 4 (see Figure 2 ). Preferably, the buckle 2 also has a protrusion on the right side of the card slot 4 that matches the recess on the right side of the card slot 4, so as to achieve snap-in fit with the card slot 4. Preferably, the buckle 2 and the reflector 1 have matching shapes on the contact surface. Furthermore, in order to press the reflector 1 after the buckle 2 is inserted into the card slot 4 to further prevent the reflector 1 from falling, the buckle 2 has an extension extending toward the reflector 1 on the contact surface with the reflector 1 and on the top surface side. Similarly, the reflector 1 has a corresponding indented portion on the top surface to accommodate the extension portion to achieve a flat surface after being inserted. As shown Figure 1 As shown in FIG, in this embodiment, the reflective sheet 1 and the card slot 4 are both symmetrically designed, and the buckle 2 can be inserted from both the left and right sides to achieve the installation of the reflective sheet 1.

[0021] In order to achieve smooth installation of the reflector 1, after it is snapped into place, the total length of the upper surface formed by the reflector 1 and the buckle 2 is less than or equal to the length of the upper surface of the slot 4, so as to achieve a flat outer frame surface of the pedal after being snapped into place.

[0022] In order to prevent the reflective sheet 1 from falling, after being snapped into place, the total length of the lower surface of the reflective sheet 1 and the buckle 3 is greater than the length of the upper surface of the slot 4, and less than or equal to the length of the lower surface of the slot 4, so as to ensure that the reflective sheet 1 and the buckle 2 are firmly snapped into the slot and prevented from falling.

[0023] In addition, the utility model also provides a bicycle, which includes the above-mentioned pedal with a reflective sheet structure installed.

[0024] It should be understood that the directional indications such as "left side," "right side," "upper surface," and "lower surface" described herein are based on the device's orientation or forward direction as shown in the figures. It should be understood that in the present invention, the references to "upper, lower, left, and right" are interchangeable and do not constitute a substantial limitation to the present invention.
