Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of saddles, and in particular relates to a self-recovering pressure-bearing saddle. Background Art

[0002] Bicycles and electric bikes are essential means of transportation for daily commutes, and their comfort, especially the comfort of their saddles, plays a crucial role in the riding experience. Traditional saddle structures typically consist of a leather layer, a sponge, and a saddle support. While these basic structural elements can meet basic riding needs, as consumers' demands for riding comfort continue to rise, existing saddle designs are no longer able to meet the market's high standards.

[0003] To enhance the shock absorption effect, common electric vehicle saddles on the market usually add springs between the saddle and the upper tray of the saddle riser to absorb vibrations during riding. However, this design has several problems: first, the saddle structure becomes relatively complex, which not only increases manufacturing costs but also may make maintenance difficult during use; second, the exposed springs not only affect the aesthetics of the saddle, but may also shorten its service life due to erosion by the external environment (such as rain, dust, etc.); third, the sponge, as the main shock-absorbing material of the saddle, has poor self-recovery properties after long-term pressure, making it difficult to maintain long-term comfort and shock absorption; finally, the bumps during riding are still quite obvious, and the shock absorption effect is poor, which seriously affects the riding comfort experience.

[0004] In summary, existing saddles have obvious deficiencies in terms of comfort, shock absorption, durability, etc. Therefore, developing a new saddle that can effectively improve riding comfort while maintaining good shock absorption, with a simple structure and easy maintenance has become an urgent problem to be solved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0030] See also Figures 1 to 8A self-restoring pressure-bearing saddle includes a saddle support 1 connected to a saddle tray at the upper end of a frame saddle riser. This design ensures that the saddle can be firmly connected to the frame saddle riser, providing stable support for the rider. The saddle support serves as a connecting bridge between the saddle and the frame, and its stability directly affects the safety and comfort during riding. The foam sponge 2 connected to the top of the saddle support is the main shock-absorbing and comfort layer of the saddle. It has good elasticity and resilience, and can absorb and disperse vibrations during riding, reducing the rider's fatigue. At the same time, the soft texture of the foam sponge also enhances riding comfort. The saddle leather 3 wrapped around the outer surface of the foam sponge not only provides a protective layer for the foam sponge to prevent it from being eroded and damaged by the external environment, but also increases the aesthetics and durability of the saddle. The texture of the leather also enhances the overall riding experience. A groove 2-1 is provided at the center of the bottom surface of the foam sponge body, and a self-restoring pressure-bearing elastic component 4 is vertically installed in the groove. During the riding process, the foam sponge body is subjected to pressure from above to complete the auxiliary limiting fixation and shock absorption function. The design of the groove provides installation space for the self-restoring pressure-bearing elastic component. By rationally designing the shape and size of the groove, it can be ensured that the self-restoring pressure-bearing elastic component can effectively play its role during the riding process, thereby improving the shock absorption effect and comfort of the saddle. An exhaust hole 1-1 is provided on the saddle support 1 corresponding to the position of the self-restoring pressure-bearing elastic component; the design of the exhaust hole helps to discharge the air generated by compression inside the saddle during riding, and maintain the pressure balance inside the saddle. This helps to improve the comfort and shock absorption effect of the saddle, and also helps to extend the service life of the saddle.

[0031] The aforementioned self-restoring, pressure-bearing saddle, through the ingenious integration of multiple innovative technologies, significantly enhances overall riding comfort and shock absorption. Its core technology lies in the central groove on the underside of the foam and the built-in self-restoring, pressure-bearing elastic component. This design not only provides additional shock absorption support for the saddle but also effectively helps to position the foam during riding, ensuring a smoother and more comfortable ride for the rider. Furthermore, vent holes on the saddle support corresponding to the location of the self-restoring, pressure-bearing elastic component effectively balance the internal pressure of the saddle, further enhancing the shock absorption effect and extending the saddle's service life.

[0032] Compared to traditional saddles, the self-restoring pressure-bearing saddle offers both improved comfort and shock absorption while maintaining a simple structure and ease of maintenance. Its unique self-restoring pressure-bearing design allows the foam to quickly return to its original shape after prolonged pressure, providing the rider with continued excellent shock absorption and comfort.

[0033] Further preferably, the self-restoring pressure-bearing elastic component 4 includes a plurality of pressure-bearing springs 4-1 arranged in a grid, and a flexible sheath 4-2 wrapped around the outer surface of the pressure-bearing springs.

[0034] This technological innovation has brought about significant results in many aspects.

[0035] First, the compression springs are arranged in a grid pattern to more effectively disperse and absorb vibrations generated during riding. This layout ensures that each spring works independently and collaboratively to jointly shoulder the shock absorption task, providing the rider with a more uniform and stable shock absorption experience.

[0036] Secondly, the grid-layout compression springs not only enhance the saddle's load-bearing capacity but also give it exceptional self-restoration. Even after prolonged periods of pressure, these springs quickly return to their original state, ensuring the saddle continues to provide exceptional comfort and shock absorption.

[0037] Furthermore, the flexible sheath wrapped around the outer surface of the pressure spring plays a crucial protective role. By pre-integrating the flexible sheath with the pressure spring, this design greatly simplifies the subsequent assembly process. Users no longer need to perform complex wrapping operations at the installation site and can simply install the pre-wrapped components. This not only saves valuable time, but also reduces assembly errors and improves work efficiency.

[0038] Finally, the overall design of this self-restoring, pressure-bearing elastic component not only improves the saddle's shock absorption and durability, but also ensures its structural stability and safety. This stable and secure support structure effectively prevents the saddle from deformation or damage during riding, providing greater reliability for riders.

[0039] Furthermore, the grid layout is preferably a 3×3 square grid. This layout evenly distributes pressure, ensuring that each pressure-bearing spring is evenly stressed, thereby improving the stability and service life of the saddle. Furthermore, the multi-point shock absorption design enhances the shock absorption effect and can be fine-tuned based on the rider's weight distribution and road conditions.

[0040] Further preferably, the flexible sheath is a breathable waterproof fabric, such as non-woven fabric, which is wrapped around the outer surface of the grid layout pressure spring 4-1, and the overlapped parts of the non-woven fabric are connected by stapling or sewing; this material selection ensures that the sheath can maintain good breathability while effectively wrapping the pressure spring, thereby avoiding the stuffiness inside the saddle due to long-term use.

[0041] For further optimization, please refer to Figure 9An upper pressure plate 4-3 is provided on the upper surface of the pressure spring, and the upper pressure plate is fixed to the bottom of the groove or installed on the upper surface of the self-restoring pressure elastic component. The upper pressure plate can be firmly fixed to the bottom of the groove or installed on the upper surface of the self-restoring pressure elastic component, providing a stable support platform for the pressure spring. This design not only ensures that the pressure spring can evenly distribute pressure when under force, avoiding local excessive wear, but also improves the overall structural strength of the saddle. In addition, the presence of the upper pressure plate also enables the saddle to better maintain its shape and stability when facing large impacts, providing safer and more reliable support for the rider.

[0042] Further preferably, the upper surface of the saddle support is provided with a protrusion 1-2 corresponding to the center of the pressure spring. Further preferably, the protrusion is square or circular. This design detail significantly improves the overall performance of the saddle. The protrusion precisely corresponds to the center of the pressure spring, providing a more stable support point for the spring, ensuring that the spring can be compressed vertically and evenly when under force, thereby more effectively absorbing and dispersing vibration energy. At the same time, this design also enhances the connection stability between the saddle support and the pressure spring, preventing loosening or displacement due to long-term use or vibration. In short, the protrusion design on the upper surface of the saddle support not only improves the shock absorption effect of the saddle, but also enhances its structural stability and durability, bringing a more comfortable and safe riding experience to the rider.

[0043] Furthermore, the vent hole is preferably located at the center of the protrusion. First, the vent hole ensures that excess gas generated within the saddle when the pressure spring is compressed can be quickly and effectively discharged through the vent hole, thereby maintaining pressure balance within the saddle. This design not only improves the saddle's shock absorption performance but also prevents potential damage to the saddle structure caused by gas accumulation. Second, the vent hole's location corresponds to the center of the protrusion, ensuring smoother gas flow and improving exhaust efficiency.

[0044] It is further preferred that a saddle guard shell 5 with a hollow center is installed under the saddle support. First, the hollow design effectively reduces the weight of the saddle guard shell, making the entire saddle structure lighter and easier to install and carry. Secondly, the hollow part allows air to circulate freely, which helps to dissipate heat and prevent the saddle from performance degradation or damage due to heat accumulation after long-term use. In addition, the presence of the saddle guard shell provides additional protection for the saddle support, can resist external impact and wear, and extend the service life of the saddle. In summary, this technical feature not only improves the practicality and durability of the saddle, but also brings it better heat dissipation performance and lightweight advantages.

[0045] Further preferably, the saddle support is pre-embedded with bolts 6 connected to the saddle tray. The pre-embedded bolts ensure that the saddle support and the saddle tray are firmly connected and not easy to loosen. At the same time, it simplifies the installation process, improves assembly efficiency, and provides the rider with a safer and more reliable riding experience.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
