DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0021] Embodiment one:

[0022] Please refer to the drawings Figure 1 - the drawings Figure 4 A bicycle sprocket crank with a deformation prevention structure, comprising a sprocket main body 1, a crank main body 2 is fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the sprocket main body 1, an external support device 3 is arranged on the surface of the crank main body 2, a stabilizing device 4 is arranged between the sprocket main body 1 and the crank main body 2, the external support device 3 comprises a long reinforcing rib 301, the long reinforcing rib 301 is connected with a first fixing bolt 305 through a threaded hole 304, a notch 306 is formed on the front side of the long reinforcing rib 301, clamping pieces 302 are fixedly installed on the upper and lower ends of the front side of the long reinforcing rib 301 and located on both sides of the notch 306, a plurality of buffer springs 303 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the long reinforcing rib 301 and are distributed at equal distances, the long reinforcing rib 301 is sleeved on the surface of the crank main body 2, the threaded hole 304 is provided with two groups and is formed on the rear side of the long reinforcing rib 301, the first fixing bolt 305 is provided with two groups and is threadedly connected to the inside of the two groups of threaded holes 304, the buffer springs 303 away from the inner wall of the long reinforcing rib 301 are fixedly installed on the side surface of the crank main body 2, and the sprocket main body 1 passes through the notch 306 and does not contact the long reinforcing rib 301.

[0023] The long reinforcing rib 301 has a certain bending property, and can be forced to be removed from the surface of the crank main body 2, similar to a kind of elastic sheet, has the effect of dispersion force, and the weight of the long reinforcing rib 301 itself is not too large, so that the speed and efficiency of riding are not affected by the additional weight. When the crank is subjected to lateral bending force, the long reinforcing rib 301 will deform with the bending of the crank main body 2. This deformation causes the long reinforcing rib 301 to generate stress resisting deformation inside. According to the stress-strain relationship, the long reinforcing rib 301 can distribute the force along its length direction and its cross section. The buffer spring 303 has a certain buffering effect. The buffer spring 303 is arranged to avoid deformation of the crank main body 2 when it is impacted by external lateral force. The threaded hole 304 is provided in the long reinforcing rib 301, which does not affect the overall strength of the crank main body 2.

[0024] Specifically, first, the long reinforcing rib 301 is sleeved on the surface of the crank main body 2, so that the rear clamping piece 302 is completely fitted with the rear surface of the crank main body 2. At this time, the buffer springs 303 are fixed on the surface of the crank main body 2 by welding. Then, the first fixing bolt 305 is tightened in the threaded hole 304 on both sides of the long reinforcing rib 301, so that the long reinforcing rib 301 is stably fixed on the surface of the crank main body 2. The long reinforcing rib 301 is like several edges added to the side of an elongated rod, which can enhance the ability of the crank main body 2 to resist bending deformation in the length direction. When the pedaling force acts on the crank main body 2, the long reinforcing rib 301 can disperse the force to the entire length direction, preventing the crank main body 2 from excessive bending in this direction. The fixing mode of the first fixing bolt 305 avoids the situation that it falls off after a long time of use.

[0027] The radial reinforcing ribs 401 in triangular shape are arranged at the connecting position of the crank body 2 and the sprocket body 1, and can effectively resist the bending deformation when the crank body 2 is subjected to the upward bending force, because the triangular structure can well decompose the force to each side when subjected to the pressure, thereby enhancing the bending resistance of the whole.

[0029] The utility model discloses a bicycle sprocket crank with anti-deformation structure, first, the long reinforcing rib 301 is sleeved on the surface of the crank body 2, and the rear clamping piece 302 is completely attached to the rear surface of the crank body 2, at this time, the plurality of buffer springs 303 are fixed on the surface of the crank body 2 by welding, then, the first fixing bolt 305 is screwed in the screw hole 304 on the both sides of the long reinforcing rib 301, and the long reinforcing rib 301 is stably fixed on the surface of the crank body 2, the long reinforcing rib 301 is like adding several edges to the side of an elongated rod, which can enhance the bending resistance of the crank body 2 in the length direction, when the pedaling force acts on the crank body 2, the long reinforcing rib 301 can disperse the force to the whole length direction, preventing the crank body 2 from being excessively bent in this direction, the radial reinforcing ribs 401 are arranged at the connecting position of the crank body 2 and the sprocket body 1, and are fixed by the second fixing bolts 406, and the radial reinforcing ribs 401 and the half shaft 402 are fixed by the fixing blocks 405, the connecting position of the crank body 2 and the sprocket body 1 is a key area with relatively concentrated stress, the radial reinforcing ribs 401 extend radially from the connecting center point to the periphery, and this design can effectively disperse the torque transmitted from the sprocket body 1 to the surrounding structure of the crank body 2, and prevent the deformation caused by excessive local stress, the combination of the two devices improves the anti-deformation effect of the crank body 2, and the whole process is completed.
