Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of spoke installation technology, specifically a spoke insertion device. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional bicycle spokes are made entirely of stainless steel, connecting one end to the rim and the other to the hub. In current bicycle manufacturing, the trend towards carbon fiber is increasingly evident. From large components like the frame, fork, handlebars, seatpost, stem, and rim; to smaller parts like the cranks, bottle cages, hubs, and spokes, brands and factories are striving to optimize the weight of each component through design and manufacturing processes to leverage the lightweight, high strength, and high rigidity of carbon fiber. Spokes act as the bridge between the rim and hub. With the emergence of carbon fiber spokes, they will gradually replace traditional metal spokes; however, it is crucial to ensure the reliable installation and stable operation of carbon fiber spokes.

[0003] Publication No. CN214240284U discloses a bicycle spoke installation suspension auxiliary device, relating to the field of bicycle spokes. It includes a support column, a fixing rod, and a fixing frame. The support column is vertically arranged and fixedly connected to the fixing rod. The fixing rod is horizontally arranged. Several fixing frames are provided, all vertically arranged, and fixedly connected to the fixing rods. Multiple fixing rods are provided and are arranged on the support column along its length. By adopting the above technical solution, the position of the fixing rod on the support column is adjusted to ensure it is in the appropriate position. Then, the fixing bolts are tightened, ensuring a tight abutment between the fixing bolts and the support column, thereby fixing the fixing rod to the support column. This application has the effect of avoiding interference between spokes at different hub ends, making the spoke installation process more convenient.

[0004] The spoke installation aids in the above-mentioned comparative documents have limited freedom of movement and cannot fix the hub during installation. The installation process is cumbersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. Therefore, a spoke insertion device is designed here to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a spoke insertion device to solve the problems of traditional spoke installation auxiliary devices having limited freedom of movement, being unable to fix the hub during installation, and having a cumbersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive installation process.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a spoke insertion device, comprising a base plate, a fixed clamping plate provided on the base plate, and a sliding clamping plate slidably provided on the base plate. Both the fixed clamping plate and the sliding clamping plate have rotating inner rings rotatably disposed on their tops, and a hub is installed between the rotating inner rings. A lifting base is fixedly disposed in the middle of the base plate, and a lifting block is slidably disposed within the lifting base. The lifting base is connected to the lifting block via a return spring. The top of the lifting block has an arc-shaped portion that mates with the hub. A fixed frame is fixedly disposed on the side of the lifting base, and a swing seat is disposed on the top of the fixed frame. A swing arm is swayingly disposed on the swing seat, a top plate is disposed on the inner side of the swing arm, a baffle that mates with the top plate is disposed on the outer wall of the lifting block, and a pedal is disposed on the outer side of the swing arm.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model: a first slider is provided at the bottom of the motion clamping plate, and a first groove is provided on the base plate to cooperate with the first slider.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model: the moving clamping plate is provided with bosses on both sides, and positioning bolts are threaded on the bosses.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, a handle is provided on the outer wall of the motion clamping plate.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, a bearing is also provided on the outer side of the inner rotating ring.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model: the lifting block is provided with second sliders on both sides, and the inner wall of the lifting base is provided with a second sliding groove that cooperates with the second sliders.

[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model, multiple sets of adhesive strips are provided on the inner wall of the arc-shaped part.

[0014] This utility model provides an improved spoke insertion device, which has the following improvements and advantages compared with the prior art:

[0015] This invention secures the hub using fixed clamping plates and movable clamping plates on both sides, while positioning bolts position the movable clamping plates. When spoke installation is required, pressing down on the pedal causes the lifting block to move upwards along the lifting base with the cooperation of the top plate and the baffle, at which point the arc-shaped portion locks the hub in place. This simple structure is easy to maintain, further improving the practicality and stability of the spoke insertion device. Attached Figure Description

[0023] This utility model provides an improved spoke insertion device, such as... Figures 1-3As shown, a spoke insertion device includes a base plate 1, a fixed clamping plate 2 on the base plate 1, and a movable clamping plate 3 slidably disposed on the base plate 1. Rotating inner rings 10 are rotatably disposed on the top of both the fixed clamping plate 2 and the movable clamping plate 3, and a hub 9 is installed between the rotating inner rings 10. A lifting base 12 is fixedly disposed in the middle of the base plate 1, and a lifting block 14 is slidably disposed within the lifting base 12. The lifting base 12 is connected to the lifting block 14 via a return spring 13. The top of the lifting block 14 is provided with... The lifting base 12 has an arc-shaped part 15 that mates with the hub 9. A fixed frame 20 is fixedly installed on the side of the lifting base 12. A swing seat 21 is installed on the top of the fixed frame 20. A swing arm 22 is swinging on the swing seat 21. A top plate 24 is installed on the inner side of the swing arm 22.
