Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of exercise bike technology, specifically to a pedal limiting structure for an indoor exercise bike. Background Technology

[0002] With the fast pace of life, people's physical fitness has declined significantly, and their awareness of the importance of exercise has gradually increased. Many choose to go to gyms or purchase fitness equipment for home use, with exercise bikes becoming particularly popular. Users burn excess energy by pedaling the wheels to achieve weight loss and fitness goals. However, during exercise, the entire body weight is borne by the pedals. Furthermore, the riding posture often needs to be changed constantly depending on the activity, whether standing or sitting. The center of the pedal is the main point of force, and prolonged forceful pedaling can cause it to break. Since existing pedals are usually made of a single piece, a breakage renders the entire pedal unusable, which is wasteful. Additionally, when pedaling, the user's foot constantly slides sideways, not landing properly on the center of the pedal, hindering proper force application and significantly impacting the workout's effectiveness.

[0003] In view of this, the inventors of this case conducted in-depth research on the above-mentioned problems, which led to the creation of this case. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the above-mentioned shortcomings by providing an indoor exercise bike pedal limiting structure that can effectively prevent pedal breakage and help users keep their feet in the middle of the pedal when pedaling, thus ensuring effective force application and achieving better fitness results.

[0005] The solution adopted by this utility model to solve the technical problem is: an indoor exercise bike pedal limiting structure, including a shoe kit and a pedal body. The front side of the pedal body is provided with a connecting seat for connecting with the shoe kit. On both sides of the connecting seat, the pedal body is provided with limiting parts that protrude from the connecting seat to limit the left and right sliding of the foot. The limiting parts extend horizontally forward to form a locking part. The distance between the two locking parts is adapted to the width of the shoe kit so that the shoe kit can be locked between the two locking parts.

[0006] Furthermore, in order to detachably connect the shoe kit and the pedal body to prevent pedal breakage, the pedal body is detachably connected to the shoe kit via bolts and nuts. The shoe kit has a first through hole for inserting bolts, the connecting seat has a second through hole for inserting bolts, the connecting seat has a forward-protruding positioning post next to the second through hole, and the shoe kit has a positioning hole next to the first through hole for inserting the positioning post to facilitate positioning and installing the bolts.

[0007] Furthermore, for quick installation of the nut; the nut is a quick-release nut, which includes a semi-circular left nut plate and a right nut plate. One end of the left nut plate and one end of the right nut plate are rotatably connected, and the other ends of the left nut plate and the other ends of the right nut plate are connected by a pin block. The other ends of the left nut plate and the right nut plate are each provided with a pin hole. The pin block is provided with two pin rods for inserting into the pin holes of the left nut plate and the right nut plate, respectively. The distance between the two pin rods is slightly smaller than the distance between the two pin holes to ensure that the pin block is fixedly installed on the left nut plate and the right nut plate, thereby ensuring that the quick-release nut is tightly engaged with the bolt thread.

[0008] Furthermore, in order to install the pedal body on the exercise bike and ensure that the user's pedaling drives the exercise bike wheels to rotate, the pedal body is provided with a core rod for rotatably installing the pedal body on the exercise bike, and the upper side of the pedal body is provided with a footing surface for stepping, and the footing surface is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0009] Furthermore, in order to position the user's foot on the shoe assembly and connect the shoe assembly to the pedal body, ensuring that the force applied by the user on the shoe assembly is transmitted to the exercise bike through the pedal; the upper side of the shoe assembly is provided with a support platform for stepping, the front end of the support platform is curved upward to form a limiting rib for limiting the forward movement of the foot, and the rear side of the support platform is provided with a mounting part for connecting with the pedal body.

[0010] Furthermore, to ensure that the pedal is tightly bound to the sports shoe and to guarantee safety during pedaling, the limiting rib has a U-shaped structure. The other end of the limiting rib is provided with an upper through hole for installing the upper side of the adjustment strap, and the pedal body is provided with a lower through hole below the limiting rib for installing the lower side of the adjustment strap.

[0011] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model has the following advantages: The pedal of this utility model adopts a split structure, dividing the traditional integral pedal into two parts—the pedal body and the shoe kit—at a point prone to breakage. This directly addresses the root cause, avoiding the presence of a breakable point and effectively extending the pedal's lifespan. The pedal body and shoe kit are installed using bolts and nuts, a threaded quick-release structure that greatly reduces installation difficulty and facilitates replacement and maintenance. The pedal body has locking parts that hold the shoe kit between two locking parts, effectively preventing wobbling between the pedal body and the shoe kit, ensuring the pedal's integrity and stability during use. Furthermore, this utility model also features a limiting structure on the pedal body, which confines the user's foot to the center of the pedal body, effectively preventing lateral deviation of the foot when stepping on the pedal. This ensures better force application and prevents deformation of the pedal caused by lateral foot deviation, guaranteeing better fitness results and effectively extending the pedal's lifespan.
