Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] The bicycle saddle is the part of a bicycle that a person sits on, and it is one of the essential parts of a bicycle.

[0003] Because conventional saddles have a flat surface and lack heat dissipation, prolonged straddling can cause various problems due to the pressure on the hips. Utility model patent CN222062164U discloses a novel bicycle saddle, including a cushioning pad, a base shell, and a saddle support. The cushioning pad is located on the upper surface of the base shell, and the saddle support is located on the lower surface of the base shell to support it. The lower surface of the base shell has a first groove, a second groove, and a third groove. The saddle support includes a first support end that mates with the first groove, a second support end that mates with the second groove, and a third support end that mates with the third groove. The first, second, and third grooves are flat, as are the first, second, and third support ends.

[0004] However, the problem is that the reduced ventilation holes greatly reduce the ventilation effect of the seat. At the same time, the smooth surface of the seat greatly reduces the friction between the seat and the user. When the user encounters a bumpy road or brakes suddenly, it is easy for the user to shift and cause discomfort while riding. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention addresses the problems of poor ventilation and friction in bicycle saddles by providing a saddle with good ventilation and friction.

[0006] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a bicycle saddle, including a saddle body, the saddle body including a seat cushion made of ETPU material, the seat cushion including pad areas arranged symmetrically on the left and right, the pad areas including dot matrix patterns and dot matrix holes, and teardrop-shaped air holes between the two pad areas, the air holes being arranged vertically through, the rear end of the air holes being connected to a groove, and the other end of the groove being connected to the outside.

[0007] In some embodiments, the saddle body includes a hard base shell, a seat cushion is mounted on the hard base shell, and two support portions protrude from the lower rear end face of the hard base shell. The two support portions are arranged symmetrically from left to right, and a shock-absorbing space is formed between the support portions and the seat cushion.

[0008] In some embodiments, an arc-shaped groove is provided between the two support portions, and a connecting portion protrudes downward within the arc-shaped groove.

[0009] In some embodiments, the saddle body includes a bracket that is detachably mounted on the lower end face of the hard base.

[0010] In some embodiments, the support portion is provided with mounting holes for fixing brackets, and the lower front end face of the hard base shell is provided with insertion holes, with both ends of the fixing bracket being inserted into the corresponding mounting holes and insertion holes respectively.

[0011] In some embodiments, the support portion is provided with mounting holes for fixing brackets, the lower front end face of the hard base shell is provided with a plug groove, the middle section of the fixing bracket is provided with a plug part, and the two ends of the fixing bracket are mounting portions. The mounting portions are correspondingly plugged into the mounting holes, and the plug parts are plugged into the plug grooves.

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: The seat cushion is made of ETPU material, which is formed into a closed-cell microstructure through a foaming process. It has the characteristics of being lightweight, highly resilient, and wear-resistant, significantly improving riding comfort, safety, and performance. The dot matrix pattern in the cushion area enhances the friction between the buttocks and the seat cushion during riding, preventing slippage. At the same time, the gaps between the patterns assist airflow, forming surface airflow channels to further improve heat dissipation efficiency. The dot matrix pattern allows for local deformation under pressure, forming a dynamic buffer zone, dispersing pressure on the ischium, avoiding discomfort caused by excessive local pressure, and improving the user experience. At the same time, the elastic deformation promotes airflow during riding, alleviating stuffiness. The narrower width of the teardrop-shaped air holes greatly increases the strength of the saddle body and increases the force-bearing area at the front end of the saddle body, making riding more comfortable.

[0028] The technical solutions provided by the various embodiments of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 As shown in this embodiment: a bicycle saddle includes a saddle body, the saddle body includes a seat cushion 1 made of ETPU material, the seat cushion 1 includes pad areas 1.1 arranged symmetrically on the left and right, the pad areas 1.1 include dot matrix patterns 1.2 and dot matrix holes 1.3, and a teardrop-shaped air hole 3 is provided between the two pad areas 1.1. The air hole 3 is arranged vertically through the two areas, and the rear end of the air hole 3 is connected to a groove 1.4, the other end of the groove 1.4 is connected to the outside.

[0030] The saddle 1 is made of ETPU material, which is formed into a closed-cell microstructure through a foaming process. It is lightweight, highly resilient, and wear-resistant, significantly improving riding comfort, safety, and performance. The dot matrix pattern 1.2 in the pad area 1.1 enhances the friction between the buttocks and the saddle 1 during riding, preventing slippage. At the same time, the gaps between the patterns assist airflow and form surface channels to further improve heat dissipation efficiency. The dot matrix holes 1.3 deform locally under pressure, forming a dynamic buffer zone to disperse pressure on the ischium and avoid discomfort caused by excessive local pressure, improving the user experience. At the same time, the elastic deformation promotes airflow during riding, relieving stuffiness. The teardrop-shaped air holes 3 are narrower, greatly increasing the strength of the saddle body and increasing the force-bearing area at the front of the saddle body, making riding more comfortable.

[0031] It should be noted that the dot matrix pattern 1.2 uses raised bumps with a diameter of 1-3mm and a height of 0.5-1mm, with a spacing of 2-4mm, to ensure anti-slip effect and prevent skin irritation.

[0032] The lattice holes 1.3 have a diameter of 0.5-1mm, a depth of 0.8-1.5mm, and a spacing of 1-2mm. The optimal distribution density is determined through finite element analysis to avoid stress concentration.

[0033] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2-4As shown, the saddle body includes a hard base shell 2, and a seat cushion 1 is installed on the hard base shell 2. There are two support parts 2.1 protruding on the lower rear end surface of the hard base shell 2. The two support parts 2.1 are arranged symmetrically on the left and right. A shock-absorbing space is formed between the support parts 2.1 and the seat cushion 1. It should be noted that this can enhance the shock absorption and cushioning function of the saddle body.

[0034] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2-4 As shown, an arc-shaped groove 2.2 is provided between the two support parts 2.1, and a connecting part 2.3 protrudes downward inside the arc-shaped groove 2.2. It should be noted that the connecting part 2.3 supports the support parts 2.1, which can help to reduce shock and provide stronger support for the saddle body, resulting in stronger overall stability.

[0035] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2-5 As shown, the saddle body includes a bracket 4, which is detachably installed on the lower end face of the hard base shell 2. It should be noted that the detachable installation of the bracket 4 facilitates transportation, and the direct installation can enhance the rigidity of the saddle body.

[0036] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2-5 As shown, the support part 2.1 is provided with mounting holes 2.4 for the fixed bracket 4, and the lower front end face of the hard base shell 2 is provided with insertion holes 2.5. The two ends of the fixed bracket 4 are respectively inserted into the corresponding mounting holes 2.4 and insertion holes 2.5. It should be noted that the bracket 4 is connected by a "snap-on" connection through the insertion holes 2.5 and the mounting holes 2.4, which can be disassembled or replaced without tools. The double-point fixing design of the insertion holes 2.5 and the mounting holes 2.4 forms a triangular stable structure, which suppresses the left and right swing of the saddle during riding, and is especially suitable for bumpy road conditions on mountain bikes.

[0037] In other embodiments, such as Figures 6-8 As shown, the support part 2.1 is provided with mounting holes 2.4 for the fixed bracket 4, the lower front end face of the hard base shell 2 is provided with a insertion groove 2.6, the middle section of the fixed bracket 4 is provided with an insertion part 4.1, and the two ends of the fixed bracket 4 are mounting parts 4.2. The mounting parts 4.2 are inserted into the mounting holes 2.4, and the insertion parts 4.1 are inserted into the insertion grooves 2.6. It should be noted that the two mounting holes 2.4 and the insertion grooves 2.6 form a triangular support structure. By setting them together, the left and right rotational displacement of the bracket 4 can be suppressed. At the same time, the bracket 4 is U-shaped and spans the support part 2.1, which can evenly transmit the pressure to the hard base shell 2 and improve the impact resistance.

[0038] The same or similar parts between the various embodiments in this specification can be referred to mutually. Each embodiment focuses on describing the differences from other embodiments.

[0039] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
