Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a surfboard, in particular to a movable footrest and an electric surfboard using the movable footrest. Background Art

[0002] A common electric surfboard consists of a board body and a water jet power device and tail fin installed at the tail. A battery is installed inside the board body to power the water jet power device, and footrests adapted to the surfer's feet are installed on the surface of the board body. When in use, the two feet are inserted into the footrests, standing on the surfboard, and then the center of gravity is adjusted to maintain balance by standing up or squatting and swinging the body left and right. Surfers of different heights have different foot spans when standing on the surfboard. The two footrests on existing surfboards are fixed in installation position, and the foot span cannot be adjusted. They cannot meet the individual requirements of surfers for the stance span and cannot accurately match the individual stance span. Pedals with inappropriate spans will seriously affect the body balance and surfing experience during surfing. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to solve the technical problem that the footrest installation position on the existing surfboard is fixed, which cannot meet the individual requirements of the surfer for the stance span, affecting the balance and surfing experience when surfing, the utility model provides a movable footrest and an electric surfboard using the same. The movable footrest can make continuous or intermittent linear movements on the board body to provide a stance span with an adjustable range, so that surfing enthusiasts can find the footrest installation position that accurately adapts to their personal span requirements, allowing surfing enthusiasts to control their body balance more freely, further improving safety and surfing experience.

[0004] The present invention solves the technical problem by adopting a technical solution: a movable footrest, comprising a footrest body, which is disposed on the body of a surfboard. The footrest body is movably disposed on the body of the surfboard via a movable structure, allowing the footrest body to move continuously or at intervals along a straight line. The movable structure allows the footrest body to be movably disposed on the body of the surfboard. The movement can be continuous along a straight line or intermittent along a straight line with a plurality of fixed gear selections. Both movements enable adjustment of the span between the two footrests. Using at least one movable footrest, the distance between the two footrests can be changed, thereby adjusting the span to accurately match the surfer's individual requirements, thereby facilitating the surfer's balance while water skiing and surfing, and further enhancing the safety and surfing experience.

[0005] As a further improvement and supplement to the above-mentioned technical solution, the present invention adopts the following technical measures: the movable structure corresponding to the continuous movement includes a slide rail and a slider movable thereon, the slide rail being fixed to the plate body, and the pedal body being connected to the slider; or the movable structure corresponding to the intermittent movement includes a plurality of mounting holes spaced along a straight line on the plate body and locking bolts that lock the pedal body in the mounting holes, and the pedal body is screwed into the mounting holes and fixed to the plate body by the locking bolts. When the movement is continuous, the slider cooperates with the slide rail to restrict the pedal body connected to it from making continuous linear movement on the plate body, thereby changing the position of the pedal body on the plate body and thereby adjusting the span between the two pedals. When the movement is an interval movement, the moving structure includes a plurality of mounting holes arranged along a straight line on the plate body and a locking bolt for locking the pedal body on the mounting hole. The pedal body is provided with a mounting hole and is fixed to the plate body by screwing the locking bolt into the mounting hole. The plurality of mounting holes are distributed along a straight line to form several selectable mounting positions. A suitable mounting hole is selected, and the locking bolt is passed through the mounting hole of the pedal body and screwed into the mounting hole to lock the pedal body on the plate body.

[0006] Furthermore, the footrest body is fixedly connected to the slider; or the footrest body is movably connected to the slider, so that the footrest body can swing in a plane parallel to the slide rail. The connection between the footrest body and the slider can be a fixed connection in which the footrest body cannot move relative to the slider, or a swing connection in which the footrest body can move relative to the slider. In the swing connection, a surfer standing on the surfboard uses their feet to drive the footrest body to swing in a plane, and the swinging of the feet allows the surfer to relax and find a suitable standing posture.

[0007] Furthermore, the slide rail comprises a strip-shaped base, the upper surface of which is provided with an upper slot extending along its length and closed at both ends. The upper slot extends through the base, and the pedal body and slider are disposed on the upper and lower sides of the upper slot, respectively, and are connected by a connector passing through the upper slot. The ends of the connector are respectively fixed to the slider and the pedal body, and the planar dimensions of the slider are greater than the width of the upper slot. The slider and the pedal body are disposed on either side of the upper slot and are fixedly connected by the connector passing through the upper slot to maintain synchronous movement. The closed ends of the upper slot limit the sliding travel of the connector and the pedal body. The planar dimensions of the slider are greater than the width of the upper slot, so that the slider can only move below the upper slot. The connector passes through the upper slot.

[0008] Furthermore, the base has a lower groove disposed at its lower portion, connected to and parallel to the upper groove. The lower groove has closed ends, and the slider is positioned within the lower groove and can move back and forth between its closed ends. The lower groove disposed at the base further guides and restricts the slider's movement, ensuring smoother movement of the pedal body on the rail. To this end, the lower groove extends in the same direction as the upper groove and has closed ends.

[0009] Furthermore, the vertical height of the lower slide groove is equal to the vertical height of the slider. The equal vertical height of the lower slide groove and the slider allows the slider to be hidden within the lower slide groove and not protrude from the bottom surface of the base. When installing the slide rail on the surfboard body, only a cavity of the same size as the base needs to be reserved to accommodate the combination of the slide rail and the slider.

[0010] Furthermore, the lower chute has two symmetrical reinforcement structures along its length, located on either side of its bottom wall. The reinforcement structures consist of a row of recessed holes on the bottom wall and ribs between adjacent recessed holes. The reinforcement structures enhance the strength of the base while utilizing the recessed holes to reduce weight and lower costs.

[0011] Furthermore, the movable structure includes two sliders, each fixedly connected to the two sides of the pedal body via a connecting member. Mounting holes matching the connecting members are provided on both sides of the pedal body. By providing a set of connecting members and sliders on each side of the pedal body, the pedal body can move smoothly along the slide rails under the action of the two sets of connections.

[0012] Furthermore, the pedal body is provided with a plurality of mounting holes arranged in a row on both the left and right sides. The plurality of mounting holes arranged in a row allows the pedal body to be assembled by selecting the appropriate mounting holes and fitting the connectors, and the position of the pedal body relative to the slide rail in the longitudinal direction can be adjusted to suit pedal bodies of different specifications and the individual requirements of surfers.

[0013] A second object of the present invention is to provide an electric surfboard utilizing the aforementioned movable footrests, comprising a board body, two footrests, a water jet power unit, a battery, and a tail fin, wherein at least one of the two footrests is one of the aforementioned movable footrests. By translating one of the movable footrests, the span between the two footrests can be varied, allowing the span to be precisely tailored to the surfer's individual needs, helping the surfer maintain balance while surfing and enhancing the safety and surfing experience.

[0014] The beneficial technical effects of this utility model include: the movable structure allows the footrest body to be moved continuously or intermittently along a straight line on the surfboard body, thereby adjusting the span between the two footrests to suit the surfer's individual needs, facilitating the surfer's balance while wakeboarding and further enhancing the safety and surfing experience. Electric surfboards using movable footrests offer adjustable footrest span, making surfing more convenient and safer. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, Figures 1 to 6 As shown, embodiment 1 is a movable footrest, including a footrest body 2, which is arranged on the board body 1 of a surfboard. The footrest body can be movably arranged on the board body 1 by a movable structure. The movement can be continuous movement along a straight line or intermittent movement. In this embodiment, continuous movement is preferred. The corresponding movable structure includes a slide rail 3 and a slider 4 movably arranged thereon. The slide rail 3 is fixed to the board body 1, and the footrest body 2 is connected to the slider 4. The footrest body 2 can be fixedly connected or movably connected to the slider 4 so that the footrest body 2 can swing in a plane parallel to the slide rail 3. In this embodiment, the footrest body 2 is preferably fixedly connected to the slider 4.

[0025] The footrest body is attached to the surfboard body via a movable structure. During use, the slider and rail cooperate to constrain the attached footrest body to move forward and backward along a predetermined trajectory on the board body, thereby changing the position of the footrest body on the board body and adjusting the span formed by the spacing between the two footrests to accurately adapt to the span requirements of different surfers, facilitate surfers to maintain balance during wakeboarding, and further enhance surfing safety and experience. Furthermore, when the movement is spaced apart, the corresponding movable structure includes a plurality of mounting holes spaced along a straight line on the board body 1 and locking bolts that lock the footrest body 2 in the mounting holes. The footrest body 2 is provided with mounting holes and is screwed into the mounting holes to securely connect to the board body 1. This movable structure is simple and reliable, but the selection of movable positions of the footrest body on the board body is limited.

[0026] Preferably, the slide rail 3 is a strip-shaped base, which is fixed to the plate body 1 by bolts 10 inserted through the through holes reserved on the left and right sides as shown in the figure. An upper slide groove 3-1 extending along its length and closed at both ends is provided on the upper surface of the base. The upper slide groove 3-1 passes through the base, and the pedal body 2 and the slider 4 are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the upper slide groove 3-1 and are connected by a connecting member 5 passing through the upper slide groove 3-1. The two ends of the connecting member 5 are respectively fixed to the slider 4 and the pedal body 2, and the plane size of the slider 4 is larger than the width of the upper slide groove 3-1.

[0027] When the pedal body moves relative to the plate body, the connecting piece moves horizontally between the closed positions at both ends of the upper slide groove, thereby limiting the movement stroke of the pedal body. At the same time, the plane size of the slider is larger than the width of the upper slide groove, which limits the slider below the upper slide groove to ensure that the connecting piece passes through the upper slide groove.

[0028] A lower groove 3-2 is provided at the lower part of the base, which is connected to and parallel to the upper groove 3-1. Both ends of the lower groove 3-2 are closed. The slider 4 is located in the lower groove 3-2 and can move back and forth between its two closed ends. At the same time, the vertical height of the lower groove 3-2 is equivalent to the vertical height of the slider 4.

[0029] The lower slide groove and the slider cooperate to guide and limit the movement of the slider, so that the slider can move smoothly between the closed positions at both ends of the lower slide groove; since the vertical heights of the lower slide groove and the slider are comparable, when installing the slide rail on the surfboard body, it is only necessary to reserve a storage cavity of the same size as the base, so that the combination of the slide rail and the slider can be placed at the same time, without the need to set up a separate storage space specifically for the slider, further simplifying the installation structure.

[0030] The lower groove 3-2 is also provided with the following Figure 6 The two symmetrical reinforcement structures shown in the figure are composed of concave holes 3-3 arranged in a row on the bottom wall and partition ribs 3-4 between two adjacent concave holes 3-3, which are used to improve the strength of the base structure while reducing weight and cost.

[0031] The movable structure in this embodiment comprises two sliders 4, each fixedly connected to either side of the pedal body 2 via a connector 5. Multiple mounting holes 6 are arranged in a row on both sides of the pedal body 2, matching the connectors 5. As shown in the figure, the mounting holes on the same side of the pedal body are aligned perpendicular to the length of the slide rail. The connectors 5 are long bolts, which, after being fitted with washers 9, are then threaded through the mounting holes 6, through the upper guide slots 3-1, and into the screw holes machined into the sliders 4, securing the pedal body 2 and sliders 4. Alternatively, the mounting holes can be arranged diagonally relative to the length of the slide rail.

[0032] Because the pedal body has corresponding connectors and sliders on both sides, the two sets of connections allow the pedal body to move smoothly along the slide rail. During installation, the pedal body can be adjusted relative to the slide rail by selecting the appropriate mounting holes and matching the connectors. This allows the pedal body to be positioned longitudinally relative to the slide rail to accommodate different pedal body sizes and the surfer's individual needs.

[0033] like Figure 7 As shown, Example 2 is an electric surfboard comprising a board body 1, on which are provided two footrests, a water jet power device 7, and a battery 8. A tail fin 11 is mounted on the bottom surface of the board body. One of the two footrests is the movable footrest described in Example 1, or both footrests may be the movable footrests described in Example 1. By translating at least one of the movable footrests on the electric surfboard, the span between the two footrests can be changed, allowing the span to be accurately adapted to the surfer's individual needs, allowing the surfer to better maintain balance while surfing, and further enhancing the safety and surfing experience. Furthermore, as shown in the figure, slide rails are provided on both the left and right sides of the board body 1, allowing the surfer to freely select the installation location of the movable footrest.
