[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Example 1

[0020] Please see Figures 1-2 The present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0021] A new type of bicycle seat cover includes:

[0022] A support sleeve is provided, and a seat support frame is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the support sleeve. A seat cushion is installed at the top of the seat support frame, and two cushioning airbags are fixedly connected to the bottom of the seat cushion. The bottom ends of the two cushioning airbags are movably engaged in the seat support frame.

[0023] The aging-resistant silicone protective sleeve is movably hinged to the outer surface of the seat cushion support frame via a hinge shaft. The aging-resistant silicone protective sleeve is movably snapped onto the outer surface of the seat cushion. A connecting sleeve is movably snapped onto the outer surface of the support sleeve, and a limit sleeve is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the connecting sleeve.

[0024] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, the support sleeve serves as the basic support structure of the entire bicycle saddle system, providing a stable mounting platform for the saddle and its related components. It bears the weight of the saddle and the rider, as well as various forces generated during riding, such as vibrations and bumps, ensuring the stability of the saddle during use and preventing it from shaking or shifting, thus providing reliable support for the rider.

[0025] The saddle support frame is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the support sleeve, and its main function is to support the saddle. It provides a specific mounting position and angle for the saddle, ensuring it is in a suitable riding position, conforming to ergonomic principles, allowing the rider to sit comfortably. At the same time, the structural design of the saddle support frame also helps to distribute the pressure on the saddle, evenly transmitting the pressure to the support sleeve.

[0026] The saddle is the part that comes into direct contact with the cyclist, and its design directly affects riding comfort. Its shape, material, and elasticity work together to provide support and cushioning for the cyclist's buttocks. A suitable saddle can reduce pressure on the buttocks during riding, minimizing discomfort, and effectively relieving fatigue, especially during long rides.

[0027] Two airbags are located at the bottom of the saddle and are securely attached to the saddle support frame. During riding, when encountering bumpy roads or other vibrations, the airbags effectively absorb and mitigate the impact. Through their elastic deformation, they convert the vibration energy from the road surface into elastic potential energy, reducing the amplitude of vibration transmitted to the rider's body, thereby improving riding comfort and protecting the rider from excessive vibration.

[0028] The material properties of the aging-resistant silicone protective cover 5 ensure that it not only effectively withstands aging during long-term use and maintains stable physical and chemical properties, but also provides reliable protection for the seat support frame 6. In daily use, when subjected to external forces, such as when a user adjusts their posture or an object accidentally bumps into the seat area, the aging-resistant silicone protective cover 5, thanks to its hinged structure, can rotate freely within a certain range, effectively dispersing and buffering external forces, reducing direct impact and wear on the seat support frame 6, and extending its service life. Simultaneously, this hinged connection method facilitates easy maintenance, cleaning, or replacement of the seat support frame 6 or the aging-resistant silicone protective cover 5, allowing for convenient rotation to a suitable position or complete removal, improving the operability and maintenance convenience of the entire device. The aging-resistant silicone protective cover 5 can also be connected to the support sleeve 1 via a hinge, making it more flexible when flipping or disassembling.

[0029] Saddle Protection Function: The aging-resistant silicone protective cover is hinged to the bottom of the saddle support frame and can be snapped onto the outer surface of the saddle. It provides multifaceted protection for the saddle. Firstly, when the bicycle is parked, the aging-resistant silicone protective cover can be folded over the saddle to prevent environmental factors such as dust, rain, and sunlight from corroding the saddle, extending its lifespan. Secondly, the silicone material itself has a certain degree of softness, and even during riding, the aging-resistant silicone protective cover can reduce friction between the saddle and external objects to a certain extent, preventing damage to the saddle surface. Furthermore, its aging-resistant properties ensure that the aging-resistant silicone protective cover can continue to provide effective protection over long-term use.

[0030] The connecting sleeve is movably snapped onto the outer surface of the support sleeve, serving as a connection point for other accessories or devices. For example, auxiliary equipment related to bicycle saddles, such as saddle heating devices and saddle height adjustment devices, can be connected through the connecting sleeve, increasing the functional expandability and flexibility of the bicycle saddle system.

[0031] The limiting sleeve is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the connecting sleeve. Its main function is to limit the range of motion of the connecting sleeve on the supporting sleeve, preventing excessive movement or detachment of the connecting sleeve from the supporting sleeve. By defining its position, the structural stability of the entire seat cushion system is ensured, guaranteeing the stability of the relative positions between components, thus enabling the seat cushion and its related parts to function properly.

[0032] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: During installation, the seat cushion is first secured to the support sleeve via the seat cushion support frame. The seat cushion support frame not only provides a suitable installation position and angle for the seat cushion to conform to ergonomics, but also helps to distribute the pressure of the seat cushion to the support sleeve. Then, the cushioning airbag is installed at the bottom of the seat cushion and snapped into the seat cushion support frame so that it can play a role when riding vibrations. The aging-resistant silicone protective cover is hinged to the seat cushion support frame via a hinge shaft and can be snapped onto the outer surface of the seat cushion. The connecting sleeve is movably snapped onto the outside of the support sleeve. The limiting sleeve is fixed on the circumferential surface of the connecting sleeve to limit its range of motion and ensure structural stability. Before riding, confirm that the aging-resistant silicone protective cover has been folded open so as not to affect riding. When encountering bumps and vibrations during riding, the cushioning airbag absorbs and alleviates the impact force through its own elastic deformation, protecting the rider. The support sleeve and seat cushion support frame ensure the stability of the seat cushion. When parking, fold the aging-resistant silicone protective cover to cover the seat cushion to prevent environmental factors from corroding the seat cushion and extend its service life.

[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
