[0002] Spinning bikes, a common piece of fitness equipment, are beloved by fitness enthusiasts for their efficient and convenient fitness benefits. Among all the components of a spinning bike, bearings and shafts are crucial. They primarily connect the pedals to the flywheel, bearing the weight and force applied by the rider on the pedals, and playing a crucial role in the bike's stability and durability. Therefore, during the actual flywheel assembly process, the mounting structure of the bearings and shaft is extremely important, directly impacting the flywheel's rotational performance. Therefore, reducing the difficulty of installing the bearings and shaft and ensuring a stable and effective installation is a challenge in current flywheel shaft technology. Utility Model Content

Furthermore, the rotating shaft is provided with a plurality of grooves, which are covered with elastic rings, i.e., the elastic rings are positioned between the grooves and the bearing. This design ensures that the rotating shaft can not only be smoothly inserted into the shaft hole, but also reduces the clearance between the rotating shaft and the bearing, enhancing the tightness of the fit, thereby ensuring smooth, uninterrupted, and noise-free operation of the flywheel shaft.

[0016] The utility model discloses an easy-to-install structure for a flywheel shaft, comprising a rotating shaft, a first bearing, a second bearing, and an axial hole located on the flywheel. During the actual installation process of the flywheel shaft, the rotating shaft needs to penetrate the inner holes of the first bearing and the second bearing one by one, so that the rotating shaft and the two bearings are respectively tightly fitted. To ensure that the rotating shaft can pass smoothly through the inner holes of the two bearings, the diameter of the rotating shaft needs to be smaller than the inner hole diameters of the first bearing and the second bearing.

In addition, elastic rings are provided around the two grooves, i.e., the elastic rings are located between the grooves and the bearings, and the wire diameter of the elastic rings is greater than the depth of the two grooves. This design not only ensures that the rotating shaft can be smoothly fitted with the bearings, but also reduces the gap between the rotating shaft and the bearings, improving the tightness of the fit between the two, and ensuring that the flywheel shaft operates smoothly, smoothly, and without abnormal noise.

[0027] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present invention clearer and more understandable, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and 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.
[0028] In the following discussion, details are provided to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention can be implemented without one or more of these details. In certain examples, some technical features known in the art are not described in detail to avoid confusion with the present invention. It should be noted that the terms "upper," "lower," "front," "back," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not limiting.
[0029] Ordinal numbers such as "first" and "second" cited in the present invention are merely identifiers and do not have any other meanings, such as a specific order, etc. Moreover, for example, the term "first component" itself does not imply the existence of a "second component", and the term "second component" itself does not imply the existence of a "first component".
[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 A preferred embodiment of the present invention provides an easy-to-install structure for a flywheel shaft, comprising an axial hole 10 located at the center of a flywheel 50, two bearings 20 having an interference fit with the axial hole 10, and a rotating shaft 30 that can be inserted into the axial hole 10. Specifically, the axial hole 10 passes through the center of the flywheel 50 and defines a hollow chamber, namely, a axial hole cavity 11. Furthermore, the inner sidewall of the central region of the axial hole 10 protrudes radially inwardly around the central axis, forming a circle of bosses 111. This results in the diameter of the ends of the axial hole 10 being larger than the diameter of the central region.
[0031] Furthermore, the two bearings 20 are respectively a first bearing 21 and a second bearing 22, and each bearing 20 has a bearing hole defined in its center, namely a first bearing hole 211 and a second bearing hole 221. Specifically, the first bearing 21 and the second bearing 22 are interference-fitted at both ends of the shaft bore 11, and respectively abut against the bosses 111 of the shaft bore 11. Thus, the two bearings 20 are fixedly mounted within the shaft bore 10, preventing the two bearings 20 from loosening or shifting within the shaft bore 10.
[0032] Please continue reading Figures 1 to 2 The rotating shaft 30 is a long, rod-shaped structure with a shaft head 32 at its top and a shaft 31 as its main body. The diameter of the shaft 31 is smaller than the diameters of the first bearing hole 211 and the second bearing hole 221. In this way, the shaft 31 can be smoothly inserted into the two bearing holes, so that the rotating shaft 30 and the shaft hole 10 are coaxially matched. To avoid the shaft 31 having an excessively small diameter, which would increase the gap between the shaft 31 and the two bearing holes and affect the tight fit between the shaft 31 and the bearing 20, preferably, two grooves 33 of the same depth are formed on the shaft 31 and around the center of the shaft 31, namely, a first groove 331 and a second groove 332. The positions of the two grooves 33 coincide with the positions where the shaft 31 is sleeved on the two bearings 20.
[0033] Furthermore, elastic rings 40, preferably O-shaped rubber rings, are respectively mounted on the two grooves 33. The diameter of the elastic rings 40 is greater than the depth of the two grooves. Thus, when the rotating shaft 30 is inserted into the two bearings 20, the elastic rings 40 are sandwiched between the first groove 331 and the shaft 31, and between the second groove 332 and the shaft 31. Due to the smooth and flexible nature of the elastic rings 40, they not only fill the gap between the rotating shaft 30 and the two bearings 20, but also ensure a smoother and tighter fit. To enhance the stability and uniformity of the rotation of the bearings 20 and the rotating shaft 30, the grooves 33 are preferably positioned midway between the thickness of the two bearings 20. Thus, the elastic rings 40 are mounted at the center of the first bearing hole 211 and the second bearing hole 221, ensuring uniform and stable rotation of the bearings 20 and the rotating shaft 30.
[0034] Please continue reading Figures 3 and 4 After the shaft 31 is inserted into the shaft hole 10, the shaft head 32 is left on the outer side of one end of the shaft hole 10. The shaft head 32 is convenient for inserting the rotating shaft 30 and also convenient for removing the rotating shaft 30 from the shaft hole 10. In addition, to ensure that the rotating shaft 30 can fully fit into the shaft hole 10, it is preferred that the length of the shaft 31 of the rotating shaft 30 is greater than the length of the shaft hole 10.
[0035] As can be seen from the above, the utility model provides an easy-to-install structure for a flywheel shaft, in which two grooves 33 are provided on the rotating shaft, and the two grooves 33 are respectively located at the positions where the rotating shaft 30 and the bearing 20 are fitted together, and an elastic ring 40 is also sleeved on the two grooves 33, that is, the elastic ring 40 is located between the rotating shaft 30 and the bearing 20. Such a design reduces the gap between the rotating shaft 30 and the bearing 20, increases the tightness of the fit between the two, and due to the smoothness and soft elasticity of the elastic ring 40, also ensures that the bearing 20 and the rotating shaft 30 run smoothly, smoothly and without abnormal noise.
