[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Please see Figures 1-8 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of an embodiment of the bicycle quick-release stem device of this utility model. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-8 This paper provides a detailed introduction to a quick-release bicycle stem device.

[0032] A quick-release stem device for bicycles includes a sleeve 100, which is cylindrical. An upper fixing ring 101 and a lower fixing ring 102 are fixedly disposed on the outer side wall of the sleeve 100, respectively. A circular through hole 103 is centered on the outer side wall of the sleeve 100. An annular sleeve 105 is slidably fitted onto the outer side wall of the sleeve 100 between the upper fixing ring 101 and the lower fixing ring 102. The inner side wall of the sleeve 105 is spaced from the outer side wall of the sleeve 100, forming a cavity. The distance between the outer walls of the 0 is denoted as value A, and the distance between the center of the through hole 103 and the inner wall of the sleeve 105 is denoted as value B. Value B is greater than value A. A sphere 104 is movably arranged in the cavity corresponding to each through hole 103. The diameter of the sphere 104 is greater than the inner diameter of the through hole 103. The diameter of the sphere 104 is greater than value A and less than value B, ensuring that the sphere 104 can always be located near the through hole 103 and will not fall off from the gap between the sleeve 105 and the tube 100. A compression ring 106 is protruding from the inner side of the sleeve 105 near the sphere 104.

[0033] When the sleeve 105 slides upward, the extrusion ring 106 does not touch the extrusion ball 104, and the ball 104 is spaced apart from the through hole 103.

[0034] When the sleeve 105 slides downward, the extrusion ring 106 touches the extrusion ball 104, and the ball 104 is tightly attached to the through hole 103;

[0035] The riser body 200 is vertically slidably lifted and installed inside the sleeve 100 in a cylindrical shape. The outer wall of the riser body 200 has multiple rows of positioning holes 201 for aligning the through holes 103, with its central axis as the center. When the spheres 104 are tightly attached to the through holes 103, the surfaces of all the spheres 104 are pressed tightly against the holes of one ring of positioning holes 201.

[0036] Wherein: A vertical spring 107 is provided between the upper edge of the sleeve 105 and the bottom of the upper fixing ring 101. The spring 107 applies a downward thrust to the sleeve 105, so that the compression ring 106 always compresses the ball 104, so that all the balls 104 are tightly attached to the through hole 103 and the positioning hole 201, thereby clamping and fixing the riser body 200 to the inside of the sleeve 100.

[0037] Wherein: the lower edge of the extrusion ring 106 is provided with an arc-shaped transition 108. When the sleeve 105 slides downward, the arc-shaped transition 108 first touches the ball 104. The arc-shaped transition 108 increases the contact area between the extrusion ring 106 and the ball 104 when the extrusion ring 106 slides down, thereby better touching and extruding the ball 104.

[0038] Wherein: the outer wall of the sleeve 100 is fixedly provided with a vertical first limiting strip 109 between two adjacent spheres 104, and the inner wall of the extrusion ring 106 is provided with a first limiting groove 110 corresponding to the first limiting strip 109. The first limiting groove 110 fits with the first limiting strip 109 and slides vertically. Through the provided first limiting groove 110 and first limiting strip 109, it is ensured that the sleeve 105 can only anti-slip along the vertical direction of the first limiting strip 109.

[0039] Wherein: the outer side wall of the sleeve 105 is provided with a cylindrical protective sleeve 111 protruding outward, the inner cavity of the protective sleeve 111 houses the spring 107, the inner side of the spring 107 slides vertically against the outer side of the upper fixing ring 101, and the outer side wall of the protective sleeve 111 is provided with an anti-slip sleeve 112 to prevent the spring 107 from being directly exposed to the outside.

[0040] Wherein: the outer wall of the riser body 200 is recessed between two adjacent positioning holes 201 and has a vertical second limiting groove 203. The inner wall of the sleeve 100 is fixedly protruding and has a second limiting strip 202 corresponding to the second limiting groove 203. The second limiting groove 203 and the second limiting strip 202 fit together and slide vertically. Through the setting of the second limiting groove 203 and the second limiting strip 202, it is ensured that the riser body 200 can only anti-slip along the vertical direction of the second limiting strip 202, and it is also ensured that the longitudinally arranged positioning holes 201 and the sphere 104 are kept on the same vertical line.

[0041] In actual use, when it is necessary to adjust the height of the riser body 200 or to directly disassemble the riser body 200, the user can hold the protective sleeve 111 with one hand and apply force in the vertical direction to lift the sleeve 105. At this time, the extrusion ring 106 does not touch the extrusion ball 104 and the positioning hole 201, and the user can directly disassemble the riser body 200 with the other hand.

[0042] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to embodiments, various modifications can be made and components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the features in the embodiments disclosed in this invention can be combined with each other in any way. The lack of an exhaustive description of these combinations in this specification is merely for the sake of brevity and resource conservation. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
