AI Technical Summary
Traditional sprocket fixing methods require the turning of multiple screws, which makes the installation steps cumbersome. The uneven locking force leads to poor fixing effect and increases the risk of loosening. In addition, the screw thread limits the locking force range, making it difficult to avoid slipping or loosening.
A locking piece is used to cooperate with the annular mounting platform on the crank, and the gear piece is fastened by the engagement of the external spline teeth and the internal thread. The thread pattern of the locking piece is enlarged, which simplifies the installation steps and improves the fastening strength.
It simplifies the installation steps, improves installation efficiency and replacement convenience, enhances the locking effect, extends the service life, reduces the installation difficulty and improves the user experience.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bicycle accessories, in particular to a novel gear plate locking structure. Background Art
[0002] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when the gear piece 2 ' is fixed to the crank 1 ' in the conventional manner, screw holes are opened on the crank 1 ', through holes are opened on the gear piece 2 ', and finally the gear piece 2 ' is fixed to the crank 1 ' by screws 3 '.
[0003] However, this fixing method requires turning multiple screws 3' in sequence to secure the sprocket 2' to the crank 1', which makes the installation process cumbersome and reduces installation efficiency. Furthermore, manually turning the screws 3' generally results in different tightening degrees for each screw 3', which affects the fixing effect between the sprocket 2' and the crank 1' and increases the risk of the sprocket 2' coming loose.
[0004] Furthermore, the screws 3' used to secure the sprocket 2' to the crank 1' in conventional methods typically have a thread size of M5*0.8, limiting their tightening force to 7-9 Nm. Excessive tightening force can cause the sprockets to slip, while insufficient tightening force can cause the sprockets to loosen, increasing installation difficulty. Therefore, conventional methods of securing the sprocket 2' to the crank 1' have limitations. Utility Model Content

[0020] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easier to understand, the present invention is described in detail in the following embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0021] Example
[0022] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure decomposition of the utility model. Figure 4 It is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of the present utility model.
[0023] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a new gear locking structure, including: a crank 1, a gear 2, and a locking member 3.
[0024] In this embodiment, a mounting hole 11 is formed at one end of the crank 1. An annular mounting platform 12 is provided on the outer periphery of the opening of the mounting hole 11 facing the gear plate 2. The outer wall of the annular mounting platform 12 is provided with external spline teeth 13, and the inner wall is provided with internal threads 14. The mounting hole 11 is a through-hole structure.
[0025] In this embodiment, the inner diameter of the annular mounting platform 12 is larger than the diameter of the mounting hole 11 .
[0026] In this embodiment, a through hole 21 is formed on the tooth plate 2 . The diameter of the through hole 21 is equal to the outer diameter of the annular mounting platform 12 . The wall of the through hole 21 is provided with internal spline teeth 22 that cooperate with the external spline teeth 13 .
[0027] In this embodiment, the locking member 3 is in the shape of a hollow T-shaped shaft, having a locking section 31 and a locking section 32. The outer diameter of the locking section 31 is smaller than the outer diameter of the locking section 32, the inner diameter of the locking section 31 is equal to the inner diameter of the locking section 32, the diameter of the locking section 31 is equal to the inner diameter of the annular mounting platform 12, and an external thread 33 is provided on the outer wall of the locking section 31, which is engaged with the internal thread 14. The diameter of the locking section 32 is larger than the diameter of the through hole 21.
[0028] In this embodiment, the inner diameter of the locking member 3 is equal to the diameter of the mounting hole 11 .
[0029] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the locking member 3 is provided with a riveted tooth shape 34. The riveted tooth shape 34 provided on the inner wall of the locking member 3 is used to facilitate the locking effect of the center shaft when the center shaft is installed on the crank 1, thereby indirectly improving the practical effect of the present invention.
[0030] In this embodiment, the thread pattern of the external thread 33 on the outer wall of the locking section 31 is M35.
[0031] In this embodiment, the length of the locking section 31 is not greater than the depth of the annular mounting platform 12 .
[0032] During assembly, first snap the sprocket 2 onto the crank 1. Specifically, because the diameter of the through hole 21 on the sprocket 2 is equal to the outer diameter of the annular mounting block 12, it is only necessary to align the through hole 21 on the sprocket 2 with the annular mounting block 12 on one end of the crank 1 and align the internal spline teeth 22 on the inner wall of the through hole 21 with the external spline teeth 13 on the annular mounting block 12. This allows the sprocket 2 to be pushed and snapped onto the crank 1.
[0033] Finally, the locking member 3 is passed through the sprocket 2 and then rotated to secure it to the crank 1, either manually or with the aid of a tool (e.g., an open-end wrench or adjustable wrench). This secures the sprocket 2 to the crank 1. Specifically, because the outer diameter of the locking section 31 on the locking member 3 is equal to the inner diameter of the annular mounting platform 12, the outer diameter of the locking section 31 is also smaller than the diameter of the through-hole 21. Therefore, the locking section 31 of the locking member 3 can be passed through the through-hole 21 of the sprocket 2. Furthermore, because the outer wall of the locking section 31 and the inner wall of the annular mounting platform 12 are respectively provided with intermeshing external threads 33 and internal threads 14, the locking member 3 can be secured to the crank 1 by rotating it. Furthermore, because the diameter of the locking section 32 on the locking member 3 is larger than the diameter of the through-hole 21 and the length of the locking section 31 is no longer than the depth of the annular mounting platform 12, the sprocket 2 can be further secured to the crank 1. Furthermore, since the locking section 31 of the locking member 3 is inserted into the annular mounting platform 12 and then threadedly connected to the annular mounting platform 12, the connection is protected from external debris such as rainwater and dust, thereby further extending the service life of the present invention. Furthermore, external debris is prevented from entering the mounting hole 11 through the connection between the locking member 3 and the annular mounting platform 12, thereby ensuring the practical effect and service life of the bicycle after using the present invention.
