Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kayak pedal technology, and in particular to an adjustable pedal structure for kayaks. Background Technology

[0002] Kayak pedals are modular support devices installed on the bottom of a kayak, typically made of metal, carbon fiber, or high-strength plastic, and are often flat or platform-shaped with anti-slip textures. Their core function is to provide a stable foothold for riders, optimizing paddling efficiency and enhancing safety.

[0003] One existing type of adjustable pedal structure for kayaks is a flat pedal. When the driver sits on the kayak's board and places their feet on the flat pedal, the thighs and calves are typically bent at an angle of about 90 degrees to ensure stable foot placement, with the soles of the feet facing the pedals. Maintaining this posture for extended periods significantly reduces passenger comfort. Extending the legs, on the other hand, causes the soles of the feet to be at an angle to the pedals, preventing the entire foot from making full contact with the pedals and reducing stability.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] To make the technical solution of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0025] Reference Figure 1-7 An adjustable pedal structure for kayaks includes a pedal body 1 and a kayak body 2. The pedal body 1 is disposed inside the kayak body 2. A support plate 3 is rotatably mounted on one side of the top of the pedal body 1, and a support seat 4 is fixedly mounted on the top of the pedal body 1. A support mechanism is provided between the support plate 3 and the pedal body 1. During the use of the kayak pedal, in order to improve the comfort of long-term kayak driving while ensuring the stability of the ride, the support plate 3 is rotated and raised by the support mechanism. After the rider's legs are extended, the support plate 3 can still provide complete support for their feet. When no support is needed, the support plate 3 can be retracted into the pedal body 1.

[0026] As a preferred technical solution of this embodiment, the support mechanism includes two support rods 5, which are rotatably installed at the bottom of both ends of the support plate 3. Each of the two support rods 5 is rotatably connected to a slide block 6 at the end away from the support plate 3. The two slide blocks 6 are slidably installed inside the pedal body 1. When the support plate 3 is rotated and raised, the slide blocks 6 move toward the support plate 3 and support the support plate 3 through the support rods 5.

[0027] As a preferred technical solution in this embodiment, the bottom of the two slides 6 is provided with drive plates 7, and the two drive plates 7 are provided with first drive grooves 8. The bottom of the slides 6 is slidably engaged with the first drive grooves 8. The drive plates 7 are slidably installed inside the pedal body 1. The moving direction of the drive plates 7 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the slides 6. During the process of the support plate 3 rotating and rising, the drive plates 7 move laterally, and the first drive grooves 8 force the slides 6 to move longitudinally, which in turn supports the support plate 3 with the support rod 5.

[0028] As a preferred embodiment, the two drive plates 7 have a second drive groove 9 at one end away from the first drive groove 8. A connecting rod 10 is slidably arranged inside the two second drive grooves 9. A transmission rod 11 is fixedly installed on the top of each of the two connecting rods 10. The two transmission rods 11 are slidably installed inside the pedal body 1. A connecting piece 12 is fixedly connected to one end of each transmission rod 11 away from the connecting rod 10. A foot pedal 13 is slidably installed on the connecting piece 12 and slides with the pedal body 1. When the transmission rod 11 drives the connecting rod 10 to move, the connecting rod 10 moves inside the second drive groove 9. Since the connecting rod 10 can only move in one direction, the second drive groove 9 is inclined relative to the direction of movement of the connecting rod 10. Therefore, when the connecting rod 10 moves longitudinally, it will simultaneously generate a lateral force on the drive plate 7, causing the drive plate 7 to move laterally. Since the first drive groove 8 is also inclined, the lateral movement of the drive plate 7 will generate a longitudinal component force on the slide 6, causing the slide 6 to move.

[0029] As a preferred embodiment, a tension spring 14 is fixedly connected between the bottom of the foot pedal 13 and the connecting piece 12. A locking post 15 is fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom end of the foot pedal 13. A U-shaped groove 16 is provided inside the pedal body 1, and the locking post 15 is slidably disposed inside the U-shaped groove 16. When it is necessary to push the connecting piece 12 to raise the support plate 3, the foot pedal 13 is pressed down, causing the locking post 15 to enter the bottom of the U-shaped groove 16. At the bottom of the U-shaped groove 16, the locking post 15 can move. When it reaches both ends of the U-shaped groove 16, the foot pedal 13 is released, and the tension spring 14 pulls the foot pedal 13 upwards, causing the locking post 15 to reach the top of the U-shaped groove 16, locking the locking post 15 inside the U-shaped groove 16, locking the connecting piece 12 and the transmission rod 11, and further locking the drive plate 7 and the slide block 6, thus fixing the tilt position of the support plate 3.

[0030] As a preferred technical solution in this embodiment, a spring column 17 is fixedly installed between the two drive plates 7. The spring column 17 is telescopic at both ends, and the two ends of the spring column 17 are fixedly connected to the two drive plates 7 respectively. When it is necessary to reset the support plate 3, only the foot pedal 13 needs to be pressed down so that the U-shaped slide 16 does not lock the locking post 15. Under the elastic force of the spring column 17, the two drive plates 7 drive the transmission rod 11, the slide 6 and the connecting piece 12 to reset. After reaching the initial position, the locking post 15 enters the top of the U-shaped slide 16 again under the action of the tension spring 14. The setting of the spring column 17 facilitates the retraction of the support plate 3, making the unfolding and retraction of the support plate 3 equally convenient.

[0031] As a preferred technical solution of this embodiment, gears 18 are fixedly installed at both ends of the support plate 3, and tooth grooves 19 are opened on the top of the two transmission rods 11. The tooth grooves 19 mesh with the gears 18. When the support plate 3 rotates initially, the gears 18 are driven by the tooth grooves 19 to assist the support plate 3 in rotating.

[0032] As a preferred technical solution in this embodiment, the top of the foot pedal 13 is provided with an anti-slip groove 20; the anti-slip groove 20 increases the friction of the foot pedal 13 surface.

[0033] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
