Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of electric bicycle accessories, specifically relating to an electric bicycle saddle. Background Technology
[0002] With increasing environmental awareness and worsening urban traffic congestion, electric bicycles, as a green and convenient mode of transportation, are gaining popularity among the public. On the one hand, rising environmental awareness prompts people to pay more attention to green travel options; on the other hand, the current state of urban traffic congestion makes electric bicycles an increasingly common daily commuting choice. The electric bicycle saddle, a component that supports the rider's hips, not only affects riding comfort but also the rider's health and riding efficiency. For example, delivery drivers need to sit on the saddle for extended periods. Therefore, the electric bicycle saddle plays a crucial role in riding and is essential for improving the riding experience. However, existing electric bicycle saddles have many shortcomings, seriously affecting the user's riding experience and comfort. Traditional electric bicycle saddles consist of a leather layer wrapped around the seat plate, with foam filling the space between the leather and the seat plate. The seat plate typically has a closed design. When the rider sits on the saddle, the bicycle compresses it, and because of the closed structure between the leather and the seat plate, air cannot escape from the foam, resulting in an overly firm and uncomfortable saddle. This not only reduces riding comfort but may also adversely affect the rider's health. Furthermore, since electric bicycles are often left outdoors, the leather layer of the saddle is easily damaged by wind, sun, and rain, and current saddle technology cannot replace it. Therefore, improving electric bicycle saddles to enhance riding comfort has become one of the most pressing issues to be addressed. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides an electric bicycle saddle that avoids the saddle from becoming too hard and deteriorating, allows for timely replacement of broken saddles, and improves the comfort, stability and practicality of the saddle.
[0004] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:
[0005] An electric bicycle saddle includes a seat plate and a frame base plate. The frame base plate is connected to the bottom of the seat plate and is used to support the seat plate. The seat plate and the frame base plate are detachably connected. The bottom of the frame base plate is connected to the frame, which is used to support the frame base plate. A leather layer is provided on the top of the seat plate, and a cushioning foam is provided between the leather layer and the seat plate. Multiple vent holes are opened on the seat plate.
[0006] Furthermore, the vents are distributed in the middle of the seat plate, with multiple vents spaced apart. The vents can be regularly or irregularly distributed, for example, there can be 4-8 vents, and the vents can be one of the following: circular, elliptical, or polygonal, preferably elliptical. When the rider sits on the saddle, the rider squeezes the foam, and the vents are used to expel the air from the foam, preventing the saddle from being too hard.
[0007] Furthermore, the seat plate is provided with horizontal and vertical ribs, which are preferably located in areas of the base plate where no vent holes are provided. The horizontal and vertical ribs and the seat plate are integrally formed, and the horizontal and vertical ribs are connected vertically, for example, to improve the rigidity and stability of the seat plate.
[0008] Furthermore, the seat plate is provided with a first through hole and a retaining strip along the symmetrical axis direction. The first through hole is located at the head of the seat plate and has a thread inside. The retaining strip is located at the tail of the seat plate and includes a horizontal part, an inclined part and a vertical part. The horizontal part is located below the seat plate, and the two ends of the horizontal part are connected to the ends of the inclined part and the vertical part, respectively. The top ends of the vertical part and the inclined part are connected to the seat plate. The retaining strip can be, for example, made of plastic.
[0009] Furthermore, multiple snap-fit posts protruding downwards from both sides of the seat plate axis are provided. The snap-fit posts are perpendicularly connected to the seat plate. Each snap-fit post includes a post body and a protrusion integrally formed with the post body. Preferably, there are four snap-fit posts, and the four snap-fit posts are preferably distributed at the four corners of the seat plate.
[0010] Furthermore, the frame base plate has multiple elongated holes, preferably two, the positions of which correspond to the positions of the exhaust holes. The head of the frame base plate has a threaded hole corresponding to the first through hole, through which a threaded bolt is connected. The tail of the frame base plate has a square slot corresponding to the locking strip, into which the locking strip on the seat plate is inserted. Multiple locking holes are formed on both sides of the frame base plate along the axial direction, the positions and number of which correspond to the positions and number of locking posts. The locking holes include large holes and small holes communicating with the large holes, such as... Figure 8 As shown, when the seat plate is connected to the frame base plate, the locking pin is inserted into the large hole. Pushing the locking pin towards the rear of the frame base plate causes the pin to enter the small hole, with the protrusion abutting against the lower surface of the seat plate. At the same time, the locking strip slides into the slot, with the vertical part of the locking strip abutting against the slot wall, thus connecting the frame base plate and the seat plate. When it is necessary to remove the seat plate, push the seat plate towards the front of the frame base plate. The locking strip slides out of the slot, and the pin enters the large hole, separating the seat plate from the frame base plate.
