Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a bicycle gear shifting technical field, specifically a gear shifting actuator mounting bracket. BACKGROUND

[0002] Bicycle gear shifting is a key technology for adjusting speed and force during riding. By operating the gear shifting actuator, the rider can flexibly switch the combination of front and rear gears to adapt to different road conditions and riding needs. When climbing uphill, switching to smaller front gears and larger rear gears can reduce pedaling effort and make climbing easier. When riding on flat roads, choose medium gear combination to maintain a steady speed. When going downhill, switch to larger front gears and smaller rear gears to accelerate using inertia and enjoy the thrill of speed. Correct gear shifting not only makes riding smoother, but also effectively saves energy and improves riding efficiency.

[0003] The handlebar and gear shifting actuator are usually firmly fixed to the frame of the bicycle through the mounting bracket, so that the rider can easily perform gear shifting operation by rotating the gear shifting actuator. However, during winter riding, cold air often directly blows on the rider's hands, which causes the temperature of the user's hands to drop rapidly, greatly reducing the comfort of riding. SUMMARY

[0004] The utility model aims at providing a gear shifting actuator mounting bracket to solve the problem of poor comfort in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical scheme: a gear shifting actuator mounting bracket, comprising a mounting bracket, the mounting bracket is provided with a mounting buckle, the mounting buckle is fixedly provided with a handlebar inside, the handlebar is provided with a gear shifting actuator, the mounting bracket is provided with a shielding mechanism, the shielding mechanism comprises a sliding sleeve mounted on the mounting bracket, the sliding sleeve is provided with an access hole, the sliding sleeve is slidably provided with a sliding support, the sliding support is provided with a limiting hole, the sliding support is fixedly provided with a shielding cover, and the access hole is fixedly provided with a limiting mechanism.

[0006] Preferably, the sliding sleeve is connected with a positioning buckle, the bottom of the positioning buckle is fixedly provided with a fixed screw rod, and the fixed screw rod is fixedly installed on the mounting bracket.

[0007] Preferably, the sliding sleeve is provided with an opening, and the lower end of the shielding cover extends into the sliding sleeve through the opening.

[0008] Preferably, the positioning clip is fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket via a fixing screw, the sliding sleeve is fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket via the positioning clip, and the shielding cover is slidably mounted in the sliding sleeve via a sliding support.

[0009] Preferably, the limiting mechanism includes a mechanism housing fixedly installed at the inlet and outlet holes, a reset spring is provided in the mechanism housing, a pull rod is movably installed in the mechanism housing, a pull ring is fixedly installed at one end of the pull rod, a spring seat is fixedly installed at the other end of the pull rod, a limiting pin is fixedly installed on the spring seat, and mounting holes are provided at both ends of the mechanism housing.

[0010] Preferably, the pull rod and the limiting latch both extend out of the mechanism housing through the mounting hole.

[0011] Preferably, the pull rod is movably installed in the mechanism housing through a spring seat, one end of the return spring is connected to the spring seat, the return spring is connected to the end of the mechanism housing, the limit pin extends into the sliding sleeve through the entry and exit hole, the limit pin is embedded in the sliding pillar through the limit hole, and the sliding pillar is restricted inside the sliding sleeve by the limit pin.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0013] In this application, when the sliding support moves left or right, it drives the shield to move left or right accordingly. When the shield moves to the handlebar grip area, it effectively blocks airflow from impacting the rider's hands, thereby improving riding comfort. Furthermore, with the aid of the bracket, the phone can be securely fixed to the center of the handlebar. When the phone is placed in the center of the handlebar, the shield can also adjust to the center area accordingly, providing protection from rain and sun.

[0014] In this application, when the pull ring is pulled outward, the stop pin disengages from the stop hole, allowing the sliding support to move laterally. When the pull ring is released, the return spring pushes the spring seat forward, causing the stop pin to reengage the stop hole. This process ensures that the sliding support is fixed within the sliding sleeve, effectively preventing the shield from swinging. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0020] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution for a shift actuator mounting bracket, comprising a mounting bracket 1, a mounting clip 2 provided on the mounting bracket 1, a handlebar 3 fixedly mounted in the mounting clip 2, a shift actuator 4 provided on the handlebar 3, a shielding mechanism 5 provided on the mounting bracket 1, and a limiting mechanism 6 fixedly mounted at the inlet and outlet hole 504. Through the coordinated work of the limiting mechanism 6 and the shielding mechanism 5, the user can flexibly adjust the specific position of the shielding cover 501. This adjustment mechanism has a dual function. On the one hand, it can effectively block the airflow from the front and prevent the airflow from blowing directly towards the user's hands, thereby significantly improving the comfort experience during riding. On the other hand, it can also provide rain and sun protection for the mobile phone mounted on the handlebar 3 of the bicycle, ensuring that the mobile phone can be well protected from rain or strong direct sunlight during riding even in bad weather.

[0022] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the shielding mechanism 5 includes a sliding sleeve 505 installed on the mounting bracket 1, an inlet and outlet hole 504 is provided on the sliding sleeve 505, a sliding pillar 502 is slidably installed in the sliding sleeve 505, a limiting hole 503 is provided on the sliding pillar 502, a shielding cover 501 is fixedly installed on the sliding pillar 502, a positioning buckle 506 is connected to the sliding sleeve 505, a fixing screw 507 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the positioning buckle 506, and the fixing screw 507 is fixedly installed on the mounting bracket 1, and a notch is provided on the sliding sleeve 505, and the lower end of the shielding cover 501 extends into the sliding sleeve 505 through the notch.

[0023] Specifically, when the user operates the sliding support 502 to move left and right, it will correspondingly drive the shielding cover 501 to move left and right. When the shielding cover 501 is moved to the grip of the handlebar 3, it can effectively block the airflow from blowing directly onto the user's hands, thereby significantly improving the comfort during riding. In addition, with the help of the bracket, the user can firmly fix the mobile phone in the middle position of the handlebar 3. When the mobile phone is fixed in the middle position of the handlebar 3, the user can move the shielding cover 501 to the middle position of the handlebar 3. In this way, the shielding cover 501 not only provides a comfortable experience for the rider, but also provides additional protection for the mobile phone, such as blocking rain and sunlight, ensuring the safety and functionality of the mobile phone when riding outdoors.

[0024] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the limiting mechanism 6 includes a mechanism housing 601 fixedly installed at the inlet and outlet hole 504, a reset spring 605 is provided in the mechanism housing 601, a pull rod 604 is movably installed in the mechanism housing 601, a pull ring 603 is fixedly installed at one end of the pull rod 604, a spring seat 606 is fixedly installed at the other end of the pull rod 604, a limiting pin 607 is fixedly installed on the spring seat 606, and mounting holes 602 are provided at both ends of the mechanism housing 601, and the pull rod 604 and the limiting pin 607 are extended out of the mechanism housing 601 through the mounting holes 602.

[0025] Specifically, when the pull ring 603 is pulled outward, the limit pin 607 disengages from the limit hole 503. This no longer restricts the movement of the sliding support 502, allowing it to slide freely in the left and right directions. Once the pull ring 603 is released, the return spring 605 immediately takes effect, pushing the spring seat 606 forward. As the spring seat 606 moves forward, it guides the limit pin 607 back into the limit hole 503. Once the limit pin 607 is fully embedded in the limit hole 503, the sliding support 502 is secured within the sliding sleeve 505, effectively preventing unnecessary shaking of the shielding cover 501 and ensuring the stability and safety of the overall structure.

[0026] Working principle: When in use, the handlebar 3 is fixed to the bicycle frame through the mounting bracket 1, and the gear of the bicycle can be adjusted by rotating the gear shift actuator 4. When in use, the pull ring 603 can be pulled outward, and the limit pin 607 will be disengaged from the limit hole 503 after the pull ring 603 is pulled outward. After the limit pin 607 is disengaged from the limit hole 503, the sliding pillar 502 can be moved left and right. After moving the sliding pillar 502 left and right, it will drive the shielding cover 501 to move left and right. When the shielding cover 501 moves to the handle of the handlebar 3, it can block the airflow from blowing towards the user's hands, thereby improving the riding comfort. Secondly, the mobile phone can be fixed on the bicycle through the bracket. 3. When the mobile phone is fixed in the middle position of the handlebar 3, the shielding cover 501 can be moved to the middle position of the handlebar 3. When the shielding cover 501 is moved to the middle position of the handlebar 3, it can shield the mobile phone from rain and sun. When the shielding cover 501 is moved to the appropriate position, the pull ring 603 can be loosened. After loosening the pull ring 603, the reset spring 605 will drive the spring seat 606 to move forward. After the spring seat 606 moves forward, it will drive the limit pin 607 to embed into the limit hole 503. After the limit pin 607 is embedded in the limit hole 503, the sliding pillar 502 can be fixed in the sliding sleeve 505 to prevent the shielding cover 501 from shaking at will.

[0027] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims, not the foregoing description, and all variations within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are intended to be encompassed within the present invention. Any reference sign in a claim should not be construed as limiting the claim to which it relates.
