[0027] To make the contents of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0028] like Figure 1-8 As shown, in this embodiment, a novel quick-release assembly is provided, which mainly consists of a fixed base 1, a pedal body 2, a pivot base 3, a slide rail 9, a latch 6, a slider 8, a connecting rod 4, and a handle locking assembly 5.

[0029] To facilitate quick installation of the pedal body 2 and the fixed base 1, this embodiment employs a staggered support fitting method. First, the pedal body 2 is pressed upwards into the fixed base 1, which has a sleeve-like structure. Then, the pedal body 2 is pushed laterally into the fixed base 1 for fitting. Once the designated position is reached, the two are locked in place. In this embodiment, the structure driving the lateral movement of the pedal body 2 is the positioning pin 20. A positioning pin 20 is provided on the surface of the pedal body 2 to engage with the slider 8. The slider 8 has a positioning hole 81 in its center. The positioning pin 20 engages with the positioning hole 81, and the movement of the slider 8 drives the positioning pin 20 to move laterally, thereby causing the pedal body 2 to move laterally. To avoid interfering with the movement of the positioning pin 20, the fixed base 1 also has a clearance hole 100 suitable for the positioning pin 20 to pass through. The length of the clearance hole 100 is just enough to allow the pedal body 2 to move from its initial pressed-in position to its fully locked position.

[0030] Specifically, in this embodiment, a rotating shaft seat 3, a slide rail 9, and a latch 6 are sequentially fastened to the fixed base 1 with screws. There are two slide rails 9, and a slider 8 is slidably mounted between them. Each slider 8 has a groove 80 on both sides that matches the slide rail 9, allowing the slider 8 to slide and engage between the two slide rails 9 via the grooves 80. Connecting rods 4 are rotatably mounted on both sides of the rotating shaft seat 3. The connecting rods 4 are shell-shaped integral parts, with one end rotatably mounted on both sides of the rotating shaft seat 3 and the other end rotatably mounted on the handle locking assembly 5. The middle of the handle locking assembly 5 can cooperate with the latch 6 to form a locking connection. The handle locking assembly 5 is also connected to the slider 8 via a shaft 7. When the handle locking assembly 5 is unlocked and pushed upwards, it can cause the slider 8 to move laterally, which in turn drives the pedal body 2 to move out. The pedal body 2 can then be pulled downwards to detach from the fixed base 1.

[0031] Specifically, the handle locking assembly 5 in this embodiment includes a pivot 51 rotatably connected to one end of the connecting rod 4, a locking part 52 opposite to the latch 6, and a handle 53 extending outward from the locking part 52. One end of the connecting rod 4 is rotatably mounted on both sides of the rotating shaft 51. A gap is left in the middle of the locking part 52 for the latch 6 to align. At the same time, a lock cylinder 520 is elastically connected inside the locking part 52. A spring 521 is provided inside the locking part 52 and sleeved on the outside of the lock cylinder 520. One end of the lock cylinder 520 is inserted into the latch 6 under the action of the spring 521 to form a snap-lock. The other end of the lock cylinder 520 is a threaded end, equipped with knurling 523. Pulling the knurling 523 can drive the lock cylinder 520 to move and disengage from the latch 6 to unlock. The knurling 523 makes it easy to pull the lock cylinder 520 to move and disengage from the latch to unlock, saving time and effort and making operation convenient. When locking, the knurling 523 can also be pulled first. After it is in place, the lock cylinder 520 will automatically spring back to lock through the action of the spring 521, which is efficient and fast.

[0032] In addition, in order to adjust the preload of the spring 521, a nut 522 for preload is also fitted at the end of the lock cylinder 520 away from the latch 6 in this embodiment. The nut 522 is tightened and fits tightly against the end face of the locking part 52, which helps to provide an elastic preload effect to the lock cylinder 520.

[0033] In order to drive the slider 8 to move laterally, one end of the shaft 7 in this embodiment is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating shaft 51, and the other end of the shaft 7 is rotatably assembled with the slider 8 through the stepped shaft 70. This ensures that when the handle 53 is pushed upward, the slider 8 is smoothly driven to move laterally under the linkage of the connecting rod 4 and the shaft 7.

[0034] Specifically, in this embodiment, both sides of the fixed base 1 are provided with misaligned locking plates 11, and both sides of the pedal body 2 are provided with misaligned locking teeth 21 that are adapted to the misaligned locking plates 11. When assembling the pedal body 2, the pedal body 2 can be pressed into the fixed base 1 from bottom to top, and the positioning pin 20 can be inserted into the positioning hole 81 in the center of the slider 8. Then, the handle 53 can be turned downwards to drive the pedal body 2 into the fixed base 1. The installation combination is formed by the support and cooperation of the misaligned locking plates 11 and the misaligned locking teeth 21. After it is in place, the knurling 523 can be pulled to make the lock cylinder 520 automatically lock into the latch 6, thus completing the quick locking installation. Similarly, when disassembling the pedal body 2, simply pull the knurling 523 to make the lock cylinder 520 disengage from the latch 6 to unlock, and then turn the handle 53 upwards to drive the pedal body 2 to gradually move out, and finally separate it from the fixed base 1 by misalignment. This design facilitates quick and easy insertion and removal of the pedal body, enabling rapid installation and locking of the pedal body and the mounting base, as well as quick unlocking and disassembly. It saves time and effort, is easy to operate manually, and makes maintenance and cleaning more convenient and faster, thus meeting customer needs.
