Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bicycle manufacturing technology, and in particular to an adjustable bicycle saddle. Background Technology
[0002] When cycling, most of the body's weight is borne by the saddle and pedals. The saddle supports the rider's hips, reduces pressure on the legs and arms, and minimizes excessive local pressure, thereby improving riding comfort and preventing pain and discomfort.
[0003] A search revealed a multi-angle adjustable bicycle saddle (publication number CN218085817U), comprising a leather cover, foam filler, a base plate, full edge protectors, a filler core, a saddle tube, screws, fixing nuts, self-tapping screws, and mounting pins. The base plate has foam filler encased on its front side, and the base plate and foam filler are fixed with adhesive. A leather cover is encased on the front side of the foam filler, and the leather cover, foam filler, and base plate are fixed with several mounting pins. The full edge protectors and base plate have mounting holes at the same positions. The self-tapping screws are used to fix the full edge protectors and base plate. This multi-angle adjustable bicycle saddle allows riders to adjust the saddle angle without replacing the saddle itself; only the filler core needs to be replaced. The operation is simple and convenient. Furthermore, the foam filler between the leather cover and base plate is highly elastic and soft, effectively absorbing some of the vertical bumps.
[0004] Based on the aforementioned patent, the existing technologies mentioned in its background section mostly have fixed bicycle saddle angles, which are not convenient for multi-angle adjustment of the bicycle saddle angle.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0028] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, one embodiment of this utility model provides: an adjustable bicycle saddle, including a frame 1, a connecting rod 3 slidably connected to the inner wall of the frame 1, a connecting frame 6 fixedly connected to the top of the connecting rod 3, a locking rod 14 slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding frame 6, a saddle body 18 provided on the outer wall of the locking rod 14, sliders 5 slidably connected to both the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the connecting rod 3, springs 4 fixedly connected to opposite ends of each slider 5, and springs 4 fixedly connected to the other ends of each spring 4 to both the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the connecting rod 3. The inner walls of the frame 1 are also slidably connected to both the front and rear sides of the connecting rod 3. Multiple through holes 2 are provided, and the shape of the slider 5 matches the through holes 2 to adjust the height of the saddle body 18. A connecting block 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the saddle body 18. Multiple slots 17 are provided on the left side of the inner wall of the connecting block 16. The shape of the locking rod 14 matches the slots 17. Both ends of the connecting block 16 are rotatably connected to the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the sliding frame 8. A spring 3 15 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the outer wall of the locking rod 14. The other end of the spring 3 15 is fixedly connected to the front end of the sliding frame 8 to adjust the angle of the saddle body 18.
[0029] Specifically, through its rotatable and height-adjustable design, the height and angle of the saddle body 18 can be adjusted. Adjusting the height ensures that the leg muscles are used evenly, reducing unnecessary muscle fatigue, while adjusting the angle ensures that the hips and spine are in a comfortable position, reducing discomfort caused by long-distance riding and improving riding comfort and efficiency.
[0030] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a sliding frame 8 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting frame 6, and a knob 9 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the sliding frame 8. A gear 10 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the knob 9, and a toothed plate 7 is meshed with the outer wall of the gear 10. The bottom end of the toothed plate 7 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the inner wall of the connecting frame 6 for adjusting the front and rear position of the saddle body 18. A limiting cylinder 12 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding frame 8. Multiple limiting grooves 11 are opened on the rear side of the outer wall of the knob 9. The shape of the limiting cylinder 12 matches the limiting grooves 11. A second spring 13 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the limiting cylinder 12. The other end of the second spring 13 is fixedly connected to the front side of the inner wall of the sliding frame 8 for limiting the knob 9.
[0031] Specifically, after adjustment, the limiting cylinder 12 is released, and the limiting cylinder 12 is inserted into the limiting groove 11 by the spring 13, which limits the knob 9. Through the movable design, the front and rear distance of the saddle body 18 can be adjusted, so that the rider's body center of gravity can be optimally distributed, thereby maintaining better balance and control under different riding conditions, ensuring that the power is more effectively transmitted to the pedal, thereby improving pedaling efficiency.
[0032] Working principle: First, when adjusting the height, simply press the slider 5 towards the center to remove it from the through hole 2, then pull the saddle body 18 upwards. After reaching the appropriate height, the spring 4 will push the slider 5 outwards, locking it into the through hole 2, thus completing the height adjustment. Second, you can press the limiting cylinder 12 backwards to remove it from the limiting groove 11, then rotate the knob 9. The knob 9 will drive the gear 10 to rotate on the outer wall of the gear plate 7, and also drive the sliding frame 8. Move the saddle body 18 to adjust its front-to-back distance. Then, press the lever 14 backward to remove it from the slot 17, releasing the restriction on the connecting block 16. Then, rotate the saddle body 18 to adjust its angle. After adjustment, release the lever 14, and the spring 15 will push the lever 14 forward to engage it in the slot 17, limiting the connection block 16 and the saddle body 18. This completes the angle adjustment.
[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
