Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of saddle technology, and in particular to a saddle frame and a saddle. Background Technology

[0002] As a key component of a bicycle, the design and structure of the saddle significantly impact rider comfort and the overall performance of the bicycle. Traditional bicycle saddles typically consist of two parts: the saddle seat and the saddle frame. The saddle seat is usually covered with foam padding to provide basic comfort, and its surface may have texture or patterns to enhance grip. The saddle frame, mostly made of metal, is responsible for securing the saddle to the bicycle frame. The two are connected by a specific structure to form a relatively stable riding support system.

[0003] However, existing bicycle saddle designs have some issues that need improvement. First, traditional saddles have poor breathability, which can easily lead to heat buildup and difficulty in evaporating sweat during riding, causing discomfort to the rider, especially during long rides or in high-temperature environments. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that traditional seat cushions have poor breathability, which can easily lead to heat accumulation and sweat not dissipating during cycling, thus causing discomfort to the rider, especially during long-term cycling or in high-temperature environments.

[0005] The above-mentioned technical problems are solved by the following technical solution: This utility model proposes a saddle frame, including a seat cushion body. The seat cushion body gradually increases in width from one end along the length direction (X), and after reaching the maximum width, the width gradually decreases until the other end. The part with increased width at the front end occupies a larger proportion in length, while the part with decreased width at the rear end occupies a smaller proportion in length. The central axis of the seat cushion body in the width direction (Y) gradually bends downwards symmetrically from the center position to both sides, forming a certain arc.

[0006] The receiving cavity is formed by a recessed area on a portion of the upper surface of the cushion body, with the remaining portion forming a first edge. Both ends of the receiving cavity along the length direction (X) of the cushion body are provided with through airflow holes, and the airflow holes are connected to the receiving cavity.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of the saddle frame of this utility model: a long strip-shaped hollow portion extending along the length direction (X) is provided at the center of the cushion body, wherein a second edge is provided at the junction of the receiving cavity and the hollow portion, and the height of the second edge is lower than that of the first edge.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of the saddle frame of this utility model: the seat cushion body and the rear half of the receiving cavity are symmetrically divided into two parts on the left and right sides with the hollow part as the boundary, wherein the left and right ends of the seat cushion body are fixed together by connecting pieces.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the saddle frame of this utility model: the seat cushion body and the rear half of the receiving cavity are symmetrically divided into two parts on the left and right sides with the hollow part as the boundary, wherein the left and right ends of the seat cushion body are fixed together by connecting pieces.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the saddle frame of this utility model: the seat body is divided into a first gradient section, a second gradient section, and a third gradient section along one side of the length direction (X) from front to back;

[0011] The first gradient section has an outer contour curve that extends outward from the front end in the width direction (Y) to form an outward-expanding arc; the further outward it expands in the width direction, the more its edge bends downward in the height direction (Z), presenting a rolled-up state.

[0012] The second gradient section has an outer contour curve that continues to expand outward in the width direction (Y) based on the first gradient section, but the expansion speed slows down, forming a relatively gentle arc. The curve bends rapidly downward in the height direction (Z), making the change of the cushion body in the width direction (Y) gentle, while the change in the vertical direction is obvious.

[0013] The third gradient section has an outer contour curve that gradually bends inward in the width direction (Y) based on the second gradient section, forming an inwardly contracting arc. During the inward contraction process, the curve also bends rapidly upward and then suddenly bends downward to finish, causing the rear end of the seat body to gradually narrow and rise.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the saddle frame of this utility model: a seat arch is also provided below the seat cushion body, and both the seat arch and the seat cushion body are integrally formed from titanium alloy.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of the saddle frame of this utility model: the seat bow includes a front connecting rod, a middle crossbar, and a rear connecting rod in sequence from front to back along the length direction (X), wherein the front connecting rod is connected to the front end of the first gradient section, and the rear connecting rod is connected to the lowest point of the second gradient section.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of the saddle frame of this utility model: a reinforcing rib is provided at the bottom of the seat body, and the reinforcing rib is provided around the periphery and bottom of the receiving cavity.

[0017] This utility model also proposes a saddle, including the saddle frame and a seat cushion. The seat cushion is installed inside the receiving cavity. A through airflow channel is opened inside the seat cushion, and the airflow channel connects the two airflow holes at the front and rear of the receiving cavity. A breathable area is provided at the front and rear ends of the upper surface of the seat cushion, and the breathable area is connected to the airflow channel.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment of the saddle of this utility model: the breathable area is divided into a first air hole area located at the front end of the seat surface corresponding to the perineum of the human body; and two second air hole areas located at the rear end of the seat surface corresponding to the ischium of the human body, wherein the breathable areas are all three-dimensional honeycomb-shaped.

[0019] A ring of ventilation holes is provided on the surface of the seat cushion, and the ventilation holes are arranged around each of the ventilation areas.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment of the saddle of this utility model: the seat cushion surface is a soft rubber surface made of nano-level polyurethane (PU) material, and the soft rubber surface is formed by 3D printing technology;

[0021] The upper surface of the seat cushion is configured with a honeycomb lattice structure.

[0022] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By incorporating a cavity, airflow holes, and breathable areas into the seat body, combined with the airflow channels and breathable holes inside the seat surface, a highly efficient air circulation system is formed. Air enters through the airflow holes at the front, passes through the airflow channels, and then exits through the airflow holes at the rear. Simultaneously, the breathable areas and breathable holes further enhance airflow. This design effectively solves the problem of poor heat dissipation in existing seat cushions, promptly removing heat and moisture generated during riding, keeping the seat surface dry, reducing stuffiness and discomfort caused by prolonged riding, and significantly improving rider comfort.

[0023] The saddle and saddle body are made of a single piece of titanium alloy, forming a robust frame structure. The front link, middle crossbar, and rear link of the saddle are connected to different parts of the saddle body, providing stable support for the saddle. In particular, the rear half of the saddle body is symmetrically divided into two parts by the hollow section, and the ends of the left and right sides are fixed together by connecting plates. This design not only enhances the overall stability of the saddle but also adapts to different movements and postures of the rider during riding, providing reliable support and effectively avoiding problems such as vibration, noise, and unstable support caused by separate saddle and saddle designs.

[0024] Optimized saddle shape and fit: The saddle body features a width variation along its length, gradually increasing in width at the front and occupying a larger proportion of the length, while gradually decreasing in width at the rear and occupying a smaller proportion of the length. This shape, narrower at the front and wider at the back, ensures a streamlined appearance while better conforming to the rider's body curves. Simultaneously, the saddle body's central axis symmetrically curves downwards from the center to both sides, forming a slight arc that further enhances the saddle's fit and comfort, reducing pressure on the groin area during riding.

[0025] Enhanced seat cushion performance: The seat cushion surface is made of nano-grade polyurethane (PU) material, formed into a soft rubber surface using 3D printing technology. The upper surface features a honeycomb lattice structure. This material and process give the seat cushion excellent elasticity and flexibility, providing a comfortable riding experience. The honeycomb lattice structure not only further enhances the breathability of the seat cushion surface but also reduces the weight of the cushion while maintaining strength. Furthermore, its three-dimensional honeycomb-shaped ventilation areas allow for disordered airflow, more effectively carrying away heat and moisture, and improving heat dissipation.

[0035] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0036] The terminology used in this invention refers to those general terms currently widely used in the art in consideration of the functionality of this invention; however, these terms may vary according to the intent, precedent, or new technology of those skilled in the art. Furthermore, specific terms may be chosen by the applicant, and in such cases, their detailed meanings will be described in the detailed description of this invention. Therefore, the terminology used in this specification should not be construed as simple names, but rather based on the meaning of the terms and the overall description of this invention.

[0037] Reference Figures 1-4 This embodiment provides a saddle frame, including a seat body 100. The seat body 100 gradually increases in width from one end along the length direction (X), and after reaching its maximum width, gradually decreases in width until the other end. The part with increased width at the front end occupies a larger proportion in length, while the part with decreased width at the rear end occupies a smaller proportion in length. The central axis of the seat body 100 in the width direction (Y) gradually bends downward symmetrically from the center position to both sides, forming a certain arc. The receiving cavity 200 is formed by a recess in a part of the upper surface of the seat body 100, and the remaining part forms a first edge 201. The receiving cavity 200 is provided with through airflow holes 202 at both the front and rear ends along the length direction (X) of the seat body 100, and the airflow holes 202 are connected to the receiving cavity 200.

[0038] In this embodiment, the shape design of the seat body 100 is as follows: Width variation in the length direction (X): Starting from one end of the seat body 100, its width gradually increases. The increased width at the front end accounts for a larger proportion of the length, meaning the front end of the seat body 100 is relatively slender, allowing it to better conform to the rider's body curves, reducing pressure on the inner groin area and improving riding comfort. Simultaneously, the slender design at the front end also helps reduce the weight of the seat and increases flexibility, allowing the rider to move and adjust their posture more freely during riding. After reaching its maximum width, the width gradually decreases until the other end, while the decreased width at the rear end accounts for a smaller proportion of the length. This makes the rear end of the seat body 100 relatively wide, providing more stable support for the rider, especially during long rides or on bumpy roads, better distributing pressure and reducing fatigue in the buttocks. Furthermore, the wide rear end design increases the contact area of ​​the seat, improving overall stability and comfort.

[0039] Curved design in the width direction (Y): The central axis of the seat body 100 in the width direction gradually bends and rolls down symmetrically from the center to both sides, forming a certain curvature. This design may be intended to better fit the curve of the human body, provide more natural support, and reduce pressure concentration during riding.

[0040] On the upper surface of the saddle body 100, a portion is recessed to form a receiving cavity 200. This design provides precise positioning and stable fixation for the installation of the saddle surface 600. The saddle surface 600 can be tightly embedded in the receiving cavity 200, and is limited by the first edge 201 around its perimeter, effectively preventing the saddle surface 600 from shifting or sliding during use. This not only improves the stability of the saddle surface 600 but also enhances the rider's comfort and sense of security. The annular first edge 201 formed around the receiving cavity 200 acts like a reinforced frame, significantly enhancing the overall structural strength of the saddle body 100. During riding, the saddle needs to withstand various pressures and impacts from the rider's weight and riding movements. The presence of the first edge 201 allows the saddle to better distribute and bear these forces when subjected to stress, reducing the risk of deformation and damage to the saddle body 100 and extending the saddle's service life. Furthermore, the concave 200-degree saddle design helps reduce the weight of the saddle, which positively impacts the overall performance and riding experience of the bicycle. By rationally reducing the use of materials, the saddle becomes lighter while maintaining necessary strength and comfort, making the bicycle easier to handle and accelerate. This multi-functional design concept cleverly combines ease of installation, enhanced structural strength, and weight optimization, providing riders with a high-performance, durable, and comfortable bicycle saddle solution.

[0041] The receiving cavity 200 has through airflow holes 202 at both the front and rear ends along the length of the seat body 100, and the airflow holes 202 are connected to the receiving cavity 200. These airflow holes 202 utilize the airflow during riding so that the air entering from the front airflow hole 202 flows through the receiving cavity 200 and directly reaches the area under the rider's buttocks, providing continuous ventilation for the part that is in contact with the seat. This continuous airflow helps to reduce the temperature of the seat surface, reduce the problem of heat accumulation and sweat not dissipating easily due to long-term riding, thereby improving the rider's comfort.

[0042] Reference Figures 1-4A long, hollow section 300 extending along the length direction (X) is provided at the center of the seat cushion body 100. The rear half of both the seat cushion body 100 and the receiving cavity 200 are symmetrically divided into two parts on the left and right sides with the hollow section 300 as the boundary. The left and right ends of the seat cushion body 100 are fixed together by connecting pieces 101. A second edge 203 is provided at the junction of the receiving cavity 200 and the hollow section 300. The height of the second edge 203 is lower than that of the first edge 201.

[0043] It should be noted that the elongated hollow section 300 significantly reduces the weight of the saddle body 100 by reducing the amount of material used, making the bicycle lighter overall and easier for the rider to control and accelerate. The design of the hollow section 300 reduces direct pressure on the rider's perineum, improving riding comfort, especially during long rides, effectively relieving pressure and reducing discomfort in this area. Due to the through-hole design of the hollow section 300, the rider's perineum is in direct contact with the outside air below, creating good ventilation. Air can circulate through the hollow section 300, carrying away heat and moisture, thereby lowering the surface temperature of the saddle, reducing sweat buildup, and improving riding comfort.

[0044] The hollow section 300 divides the end of the saddle body 100 into left and right parts, which are connected by a connecting piece 101. This structural design gives the saddle body 100 extra flexibility and adaptability during riding. When the rider rides, due to the asynchronous movement of the left and right legs, the left and right sides of the saddle body 100 can deform and change position accordingly with the riding action, better conforming to the rider's body and providing more natural support. At the same time, the connecting piece 101 prevents the left and right parts of the saddle from completely separating, ensuring the integrity and stability of the saddle and providing reliable support for the rider.

[0045] A second edge 203 is provided at the junction of the cavity 200 and the hollow part 300. The height of this second edge 203 is lower than that of the first edge 201. This may be used to form a transition area between the cavity 200 and the hollow part 300, further enhancing the structural strength of the seat. At the same time, it can also prevent the filling material from moving excessively from the cavity 200 to the hollow part 300 during use. This design helps to maintain the shape and stability of the seat, ensuring that the rider can still get good support and comfort during long rides.

[0046] A reinforcing rib 500 is provided at the bottom of the saddle body 100, and the reinforcing rib 500 is located around and at the bottom of the receiving cavity 200. The function of the reinforcing rib 500 is to enhance the structural strength and stability of the saddle, preventing excessive deformation of the saddle during use. The reinforcing rib 500 around the receiving cavity 200 provides additional support, ensuring that the shape of the receiving cavity 200 does not change due to external forces, thereby protecting the saddle surface 600 installed in the receiving cavity 200 from displacement or damage. The reinforcing rib 500 located at the bottom of the saddle body 100 helps to evenly distribute the rider's weight, reduce the deformation of the saddle body 100 under stress, improve riding comfort, and at the same time, the reinforcing rib 500 also increases the durability of the saddle body 100, extending its service life.

[0047] Reference Figures 1-4 The seat cushion body 100 has a first gradient section 102, a second gradient section 103, and a third gradient section 104 along one side of its length direction (X) from front to back. The first gradient section 102 has an outer contour curve that extends outward from the front end in the width direction (Y), forming an outward-expanding arc. At the same time, the curve slowly curves inward downward, so that the seat cushion body 100 gradually rolls up at the bottom as its width increases. The second gradient section 103 has an outer contour curve that continues to extend outward in the width direction (Y) based on the first gradient section 102, but the speed of expansion is slowed down, forming a relatively gentle arc. At the same time, the curve curve bends downward rapidly, making the change of the seat cushion body 100 in the width direction (Y) more gentle, while the change in the vertical direction is more significant. The third gradient section 104 has an outer contour curve that gradually bends inward in the width direction (Y) based on the second gradient section 103, forming an inwardly contracting arc. During the inward contraction process, the curve also bends rapidly upward and then suddenly bends downward to finish, causing the rear end of the seat body 100 to gradually narrow and rise.

[0048] It should be explained that the first gradient section 102 starts from the front of the saddle along its length. The outer contour curve extends outward in the width direction (Y), forming an outward-expanding arc. Simultaneously, the curve extends outward from the central axis along the width direction and then slowly bends downward in the height direction (Z), presenting an inward-curving state. The increased width at the front provides better support and comfort for the rider's front, especially in a forward-leaning posture while riding. The downward-curving design helps reduce the width of the lower part of the front of the saddle, reducing pressure on the rider's inner groin and improving comfort. The arc design gives the front of the saddle body 100 a streamlined appearance, which helps reduce air resistance and improve riding efficiency.

[0049] The second gradient section 103, based on the first gradient section 102, continues to extend the outer contour curve outward in the width direction (Y), but the rate of expansion slows down, forming a gentler arc. Simultaneously, the curve bends rapidly downward in the height direction (Z), making the change in width (Y) of the saddle body 100 more gradual, while the change in height (Z) is more pronounced. The slower rate of expansion in the width direction (Y) makes the width change of the saddle body 100 in this area smoother, providing more even support. The rapid downward bending design reduces the contact area of ​​the saddle in this area, thereby reducing pressure on specific parts of the rider and improving comfort. Simultaneously, the downward bending of the rear linkage 403 of the seat arch 400 further enhances the cushioning effect. This design better adapts to the rider's body curves and provides cushioning, especially during long rides, reducing pressure concentration and improving the riding experience.

[0050] The third gradient section 104, building upon the second gradient section 103, gradually curves its outer contour inward in the width direction (Y), forming an inwardly contracting arc. During this inward contraction, the curve simultaneously curves rapidly upward in the height direction (Z), finally bending sharply downward to finish, causing the rear end of the saddle body 100 to gradually narrow and rise. This inwardly contracting arc design narrows the rear end of the saddle body 100, helping to reduce air resistance and provide more ergonomic support. The rapid upward curve followed by a sharp downward bend raises the rear end of the saddle body 100, providing better support for the rider's hips, especially when more support is needed at the rear. This design helps maintain the overall stability of the saddle body 100 while allowing for some flexibility to adapt to different riding postures and movements.

[0051] This design achieves a gradual change in width and shape of the saddle body 100 along its length (X) through three distinct curve variations. The outward expansion and retraction at the front provides better support and a streamlined design, while the gentle width and significant vertical changes in the middle area enhance comfort, cushioning, and fit. The inward contraction and elevation at the rear enhances stability and support. The overall design comprehensively considers rider comfort, saddle breathability, and overall structural strength, aiming to provide a more ergonomic and higher-performance bicycle saddle solution.

[0052] Reference Figures 1-4The seat arch 400 includes, from front to back along its length (X), a front connecting rod 401, a middle crossbar 402, and a rear connecting rod 403. The front connecting rod 401 is connected to the front end of the first gradient section 102, and the rear connecting rod 403 is connected to the lowest point of the second gradient section 103. Two seat arches 400 are provided, located on the left and right sides of the seat cushion body 100 respectively. The front connecting rod 401 of each seat arch 400 is connected to the front end of the seat cushion body 100, and the rear connecting rod 403 is connected to the lowest point of the outward expansion of the second gradient section 103, forming an arch together with the downward-curving second gradient section 103.

[0053] The seat arches 400 on each side, together with the saddle body 100, form a frame structure, making the support more robust and improving overall strength. This frame structure not only enhances the stability of the saddle but also effectively distributes the rider's weight, reducing pressure concentration. When a rider rides, the movements of the left and right legs are not synchronized, and the outer ends of the saddle body 100 are easily deformed by pressure. The design of the seat arches 400 provides support to the outer sides, allowing them to recover their shape and maintain stable support after being compressed. At the same time, the arched design has a good cushioning and shock absorption effect, absorbing the vibrations and impacts generated during riding and improving riding comfort. This design is particularly noticeable during long rides or riding on bumpy roads, effectively reducing rider fatigue.

[0054] The integrated design of the seat arch 400 and the saddle body 100 combines the high strength and lightweight properties of titanium alloy, not only improving the overall performance and durability of the saddle but also achieving better fit and comfort through its unique structural design. It can adapt to different riders' body curves and riding postures, providing stable support and good cushioning, thereby enhancing the overall riding experience.

[0055] Reference Figures 5-8 A saddle includes a saddle frame and a seat cushion 600. The seat cushion 600 is installed inside a receiving cavity 200. An airflow channel 601 is provided inside the seat cushion 600, and the airflow channel 601 connects to two airflow holes 202 at the front and rear of the receiving cavity 200. Ventilation areas 602 are provided at the front and rear ends of the upper surface of the seat cushion 600, and the ventilation areas 602 are connected to the airflow channel 601.

[0056] The saddle consists of a saddle frame and a seat surface 600. The seat surface 600 is installed inside the receiving cavity 200 of the saddle frame using adhesive or other methods. This design allows the seat surface 600 to fit tightly against the saddle frame, facilitating installation and fixation. The seat surface 600 has through-flow airflow channels 601 running through its front and rear sections and connecting to the front and rear airflow holes 202 of the receiving cavity 200. This design promotes air circulation within the seat surface, thereby improving breathability. Breathable areas 602 are provided at both the front and rear ends of the seat surface 600. These breathable areas 602 are connected to the airflow channels 601 and feature a microporous structure, allowing air to smoothly enter and exit the seat surface 600, further enhancing breathability.

[0057] As the rider moves during riding, air enters the receiving cavity 200 through the airflow hole 202 at the front, then flows through the airflow channel 601 inside the saddle surface 600 to the airflow hole 202 at the rear and is expelled. This continuous airflow removes heat and moisture from the saddle surface, reducing stuffiness and discomfort during riding. Simultaneously, some air also enters the ventilation area 602 through the airflow channel 601, cooling the rider's area within the ventilation area 602. Through this efficient ventilation system, the air between the rider's buttocks and the saddle is constantly renewed, keeping the saddle surface dry and reducing discomfort and fatigue caused by prolonged riding. The advantages of this ventilation design are particularly evident under high-temperature or high-intensity riding conditions. This design comprehensively considers rider comfort, saddle breathability, and overall structural strength, aiming to provide a high-performance, comfortable bicycle saddle solution.

[0058] The ventilation area 602 is divided into two parts: a first air vent area 602a located at the front of the saddle surface 600 corresponding to the perineum, featuring a three-dimensional honeycomb structure to provide proper support for the perineum during riding while allowing airflow and reducing stuffiness and discomfort in this area; and two second air vent areas 602b located at the rear of the saddle surface 600 corresponding to the ischium, which bears significant pressure during riding. These two air vent areas also employ a honeycomb structure to provide targeted support and pressure distribution for the ischium, while promoting airflow in this area and reducing discomfort caused by prolonged pressure.

[0059] The honeycomb-like three-dimensional structure contains multiple tiny channels and gaps, effectively promoting airflow within the saddle surface 600. Air can flow through these channels between different areas of the saddle surface 600, carrying away heat and moisture and keeping the saddle surface dry. The disordered airflow effect of the honeycomb-shaped ventilation areas 602 effectively breaks up laminar airflow, enhancing breathability. Air flows in multiple dimensions within the irregular channels, penetrating deep into all parts of the saddle, reducing dead zones, and carrying away more heat and moisture, keeping the rider dry and comfortable for extended periods. This design is particularly suitable for high-temperature or long-duration riding scenarios, providing a more efficient and comfortable ventilation solution. The honeycomb structure not only provides breathability but also offers good support. While ensuring breathability, it provides appropriate cushioning and support for the rider's perineum and ischial tuberosities, reducing pressure concentration and improving riding comfort. This structure has a certain degree of elasticity and flexibility, adapting to different rider body shapes and sitting postures. Regardless of the rider's body type, the honeycomb structure can conform to the body's curves to a certain extent, providing personalized support and comfort. Through this carefully designed 602 layout of breathable zones and honeycomb structure, the saddle can significantly improve the comfort and health of riding, making it especially suitable for long-distance riding or use in high-temperature environments.

[0060] A ring of ventilation holes 603 is provided on the saddle surface 600, surrounding the various ventilation areas 602 and connected to the airflow channels 601, thereby further improving the heat dissipation effect of the saddle surface 600. The layout of the ventilation holes 603 around the ventilation areas 602 not only provides these areas with additional airflow paths, helping to quickly expel accumulated heat and moisture, but also allows air to flow freely between other areas of the saddle surface 600, achieving more widespread heat dissipation. This design is specifically targeted at key areas such as the rider's perineum and ischial tuberosities. In conjunction with the ventilation areas 602, it effectively reduces the temperature of these areas, minimizing discomfort caused by prolonged riding and improving overall comfort. At the same time, the ventilation holes 603 ensure that the saddle surface 600 maintains good breathability in different environments, adapting to different riding conditions and climates, providing the rider with a dry and comfortable riding environment.

[0061] Materials and processes:

[0062] Beneath the saddle body 100 is the seat arch 400, both of which are integrally molded from titanium alloy. This design, using titanium alloy and a one-piece molding process for both the saddle body 100 and seat arch 400, differs from traditional saddle bases that use plastic or carbon fiber. Titanium alloy is renowned for its high strength, low density, and excellent corrosion resistance. This innovative material choice allows the saddle to maintain or even exceed the strength and rigidity offered by traditional materials while effectively reducing overall weight. The one-piece design of titanium alloy not only enhances the product's durability and performance but also, due to its unique material properties, makes the saddle more stable when bearing the rider's weight, and less prone to deformation or damage during prolonged use. Furthermore, the lightweight nature of titanium alloy is particularly important for bicycle design, as it reduces overall weight, thereby improving riding efficiency and speed—a significant advantage for riders seeking high performance and comfort.

[0063] The seat cushion 600 is made of nano-grade polyurethane (PU) material, which has excellent elasticity and flexibility, providing a comfortable riding experience. PU material also boasts advantages such as wear resistance, aging resistance, and weather resistance, extending the seat cushion's lifespan. The soft rubber surface is formed using 3D printing technology, allowing the seat cushion 600 to precisely conform to the curves of the human body, providing better support and comfort. 3D printing technology can also achieve complex geometric shapes, offering greater design freedom for the seat cushion 600.

[0064] The upper surface of the seat cushion 600 is designed with a honeycomb lattice structure. This structure not only provides good breathability, but also reduces the weight of the seat cushion while ensuring strength. The hexagonal holes of the honeycomb lattice can evenly distribute pressure, reduce the pressure on the body during long-term sitting, and improve the comfort of sitting.

[0065] This design integrates advanced materials, processes, and structural design to provide a saddle that is both comfortable and durable, especially suitable for long-distance cycling.

[0066] Finally, it should be noted that the methods and devices described in detail above are merely embodiments, and those skilled in the art can modify these embodiments in different ways as long as they do not depart from the scope of this utility model.

The part with increased width at the front end occupies a larger proportion of the length, while the part with decreased width at the rear end occupies a smaller proportion of the length. The central axis of the seat body (100) in the width direction (Y) gradually curves downwards symmetrically from the center position to both sides, forming a certain arc. The receiving cavity (200) is formed by a recess in a part of the upper surface of the cushion body (100), and the remaining part forms a first edge (201). The receiving cavity (200) is provided with through airflow holes (202) at both the front and rear ends along the length direction (X) of the cushion body (100), and the airflow holes (202) are connected to the receiving cavity (200).

2. The saddle frame according to claim 1, characterized in that: A long, hollow section (300) extending along the length direction (X) is provided at the center of the cushion body (100). A second edge (203) is provided at the junction of the receiving cavity (200) and the hollow section (300), and the height of the second edge (203) is lower than that of the first edge (201).

3. The saddle frame according to claim 2, characterized in that: The rear half of both the cushion body (100) and the receiving cavity (200) are symmetrically divided into two parts with the hollow part (300) as the boundary. The left and right ends of the cushion body (100) are fixed together by connecting pieces (101).

4. The saddle frame according to any one of claims 1 to 3, characterized in that: The seat cushion body (100) has a first gradient section (102), a second gradient section (103), and a third gradient section (104) on one side along the length direction (X) from front to back. The first gradient section (102) has an outer contour curve that extends outward from the front end in the width direction (Y) to form an outwardly expanding arc; the wider it extends outward in the width direction, the more its edge bends downward in the height direction (Z), presenting a rolled-up state. The second gradient section (103) has an outer contour curve that continues to expand outward in the width direction (Y) based on the first gradient section (102), but the expansion speed slows down, forming a relatively gentle arc. The curve bends rapidly downward in the height direction (Z), making the change of the cushion body (100) in the width direction (Y) gentle, while the change in the vertical direction is obvious. The third gradient section (104) has an outer contour curve that gradually bends inward in the width direction (Y) based on the second gradient section (103), forming an inwardly contracting arc. During the inward contraction process, the curve also bends rapidly upward and then suddenly bends downward to finish, so that the rear end of the seat body (100) gradually narrows and rises.

5. The saddle frame according to claim 4, characterized in that: A seat arch (400) is also provided below the seat cushion body (100), and both the seat arch (400) and the seat cushion body (100) are made of titanium alloy in one piece.

6. The saddle frame according to claim 5, characterized in that: The seat bow (400) includes a front connecting rod (401), a middle crossbar (402) and a rear connecting rod (403) in sequence from front to back along the length direction (X), wherein the front connecting rod (401) is connected to the front end of the first gradient section (102) and the rear connecting rod (403) is connected to the lowest point of the second gradient section (103).
