Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kayak device technology, specifically a kayak pedal device. Background Technology

[0002] In kayaking, the pedal device is an important auxiliary device. A utility model patent with authorization number CN201300990Y provides a "pedal device for recreational kayaks," including pedals, a mounting bracket, and a sliding sleeve. The pedals and sliding sleeve are connected. The pedal device also has a rotatable positioning rod with several positioning protrusions. The sliding sleeve is fitted over the positioning rod and has positioning holes that mate with the positioning protrusions. This utility model allows for quick release or relocking of the sliding sleeve by rotating the positioning rod by a small angle with one hand, thus adjusting or positioning the pedals. It is very convenient to operate, has a simple structure, low cost, and is lightweight. However, the positioning rod of this utility model is mounted on the mounting bracket and is fixed in the length direction, making adjustment inconvenient and lacking in flexibility.

[0003] To address the issues of inconvenient adjustment and lack of flexibility in kayak pedals, patent publication number CN214875505 U discloses a "metal kayak pedal," relating to the field of kayaking. It includes a pedal board with a baffle fixed to the lower outer surface. Self-adjusting components are provided on both sides of the top of the pedal board. Multiple anti-slip patterns are fixed in the middle of the outer surface of the pedal board, and multiple anti-collision pads are fixed between the anti-slip patterns. This invention, by incorporating self-adjusting components, allows two adjustment frames to be extended outwards according to the size of the athlete's foot when stepping on the pedal board. These frames can then slide outwards along the inside of the pedal board via a connecting rod, enabling the pedals to automatically adjust to the athlete's needs, thus improving convenience and avoiding the slow and inconvenient adjustment issues of traditional pedals. However, this invention suffers from poor stability and insufficient adjustment flexibility, affecting user comfort and operational inconvenience.

[0004] In summary, existing kayak pedals have the following drawbacks: inconvenient adjustment and unstable fixation, which affect user comfort and ease of operation. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems in the prior art by proposing a kayak pedal device that solves the problems of inconvenient adjustment and unstable fixation of existing kayak pedals, which affect the user's comfort and ease of operation.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a kayak pedal device, including a pedal, a buckle, a limiting spring, a toothed track, and a positioning bar. The bottom of the pedal is provided with a groove, and the buckle is installed in the groove. One end of the limiting spring is connected to the buckle, and the other end is connected to the pedal. The buckle is used to fix and position the pedal by engaging with the rack on the toothed track.

[0007] Preferably, one end of the buckle is connected to the limiting spring, and the other end is a locking end that locks into the rack.

[0008] Preferably, the toothed track is elongated and has multiple toothed racks evenly distributed on it, with a gap between adjacent toothed racks.

[0009] Preferably, the foot pedal is provided with an anti-slip structure, such as a textured surface or a rubber anti-slip pad, to increase the friction between the user's foot and the foot pedal, prevent slippage during use, and ensure the user's safety and comfort.

[0010] Preferably, one end of the limiting spring is connected to the hole in the middle of the buckle, and the other end is connected to the groove. Under the action of the limiting spring, the buckle head is engaged in the rack. When the user presses the buckle, the spring is compressed, and the buckle moves in the groove of the pedal, causing the engaging end to disengage from the rack, thereby adjusting the position of the pedal. After the buckle is released, the spring returns to its original length, pushing the buckle to re-engage in the rack, thus completing the fixation of the pedal.

[0011] Preferably, the buckle is installed in a groove at the bottom of the pedal. The shape and size of the groove need to match the shape of the buckle to ensure that the buckle can work stably after installation. The length, width and depth of the groove should be able to accommodate the movement of the buckle and prevent unnecessary movement of the buckle in the non-adjusted state after the bolt is installed.

[0012] Preferably, the main function of the positioning bar is to ensure the accurate position of the pedal on the toothed track and to provide additional fixing force when needed to prevent the pedal from shifting or sliding during use. Specifically, the positioning bar can lock the pedal in a pre-positioned position by cooperating with a specific position on the toothed track. In addition, the design of the positioning bar also helps to provide a reference point when adjusting the position of the pedal, making the adjustment process more accurate and convenient.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1) Flexible: Users can easily adjust the position of the pedals by simply pressing the buckle; the buckle engages with the rack on the toothed track under the action of spring force, thereby realizing quick adjustment of the pedals; this design allows users to flexibly adjust the position of the pedals according to their own needs, improving the convenience of use.

[0015] 2) Improved stability: The foot pedal is securely fixed through the combination of buckles, limit springs, and toothed rails; users can adjust the position of the foot pedal by pressing the buckle, and after releasing the buckle, the foot pedal can be firmly fixed in the desired position, which has higher reliability and stability and can effectively prevent the foot pedal from shifting or sliding during use.

[0016] 3) Good safety and comfort: Due to the anti-slip structure design on the pedals, the friction between the user's feet and the pedals is effectively increased, preventing slippage during use and ensuring the user's safety and comfort. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0024] Example 1:

[0025] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a kayak pedal device includes a pedal 1, a buckle 2, a limiting spring 3, a toothed track 4, and a positioning rod 5. The pedal 1 has a groove 11 at its bottom, and the buckle 2 is installed in the groove 11. One end of the limiting spring 3 is connected to the buckle 2, and the other end is connected to the pedal 1. The buckle 2 can engage with the rack 41 on the toothed track 4.

[0026] See Figure 1 The length of the foot pedal 1 can be set to 89mm and the width to 54mm, and the toothed track 4 can be set to 380mm; see reference. Figure 5 One end of the buckle 2 is connected to the limiting spring 3, and the other end is a locking end used to lock with the rack 41; see reference. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The toothed track 4 is elongated and has multiple evenly distributed toothed racks 41, with a spacing of 3 centimeters between adjacent toothed racks 41; see reference. Figure 4 and Figure 6 The foot pedal 1 is equipped with an anti-slip structure 12, which is made of rubber anti-slip pad.

[0027] The buckle 2 includes a buckle head 21, a buckle middle part 22 and a buckle tail 23. The buckle head 21 is an outwardly protruding arc-shaped snap-fit ​​end, the buckle tail 23 is a rectangular block structure, and the buckle middle part 22 connects the snap-fit ​​end and the buckle tail 23.

[0028] The positioning rod 5 connects the buckle head 21 to the rack 41, and the buckle head 21 is engaged in the gap of the rack 41.

[0029] One end of the limiting spring 3 is connected to the hole in the middle part 22 of the buckle, and the other end is connected to the groove 11. The buckle 2 is engaged in the rack 41 under the action of the limiting spring 3. When the limiting spring 3 is compressed, the buckle 2 moves in the groove 11. The buckle head 21 is disengaged from the rack 41 to adjust the position of the foot pedal 1.

[0030] The buckle 2 is installed in the groove 11 at the bottom of the pedal, and the shape and size of the inner surface of the groove 11 match the outer surface of the buckle 2.

[0031] The track base 42 is elongated, the rack mounting groove 43 is an elongated groove along the length of the track base 42, the track cover plate 44 is parallel to the track base 42, the bottom of the track 45 is a raised structure, and the shape and size of the two sides of the toothed track 4 are mirror symmetrical.

[0032] First, insert the limiting spring 3 into the reserved hole of the buckle 2, then put the buckle 2 into the groove 11 of the pedal 1 and tighten it with bolts. When using, press the buckle 2 towards the anti-slip structure 12 of the pedal 1, then slide the pedal 1 into the toothed track 4, adjust it to the appropriate position, and release the buckle 2. Under the action of the limiting spring 3, the snap-fit ​​end of the buckle 2 snaps into the rack 41, fixing the pedal 1 firmly. When adjusting the distance of the pedal 1, simply press the buckle 2 to easily adjust it back and forth.

[0033] In this embodiment, the track base 42 adopts a symmetrical I-shaped design. This symmetrical structure not only improves the track's bending resistance but also better disperses the pressure generated when the user steps on it, ensuring that the track can maintain stable performance even after long-term use. The anti-slip structure 12 is made of rubber anti-slip pad material, providing a good anti-slip effect. The rubber material has a high coefficient of friction, which can effectively prevent the foot from sliding even in a wet environment, ensuring the stability and safety of the movement.

[0034] Example 2:

[0035] This embodiment is basically the same as embodiment 1, except for the shape of the toothed track 4. The toothed track 4 adopts an arc design, the track base 42 is arc-shaped, the rack mounting groove 43 is set along the length direction of the arc-shaped track base 42, the racks 41 are evenly distributed, and the spacing between adjacent racks 41 is set to 3 cm. The racks 41 are designed as trapezoids, and the two ends of the toothed track 4 are provided with fixing devices, which can be more firmly installed on different models of kayaks, enhancing the versatility and stability of the device.

[0036] In this embodiment, the curved toothed track 4 has a moderate degree of curvature, which can better fit the curved structure inside the kayak, reduce space occupation, and provide better mechanical distribution. The rack 41 is designed as a trapezoid with rounded corners at the tooth tips. This design makes the buckle 2 more smoothly engage with the rack 41, reduces stress concentration between the buckle 2 and the rack 41, and improves the stability and durability of the engagement. The track cover 44 and the track base 42 are connected by an embedded connection. The edge of the track cover 44 is designed with a groove that matches the track base 42. This connection method not only makes the track cover 44 more securely installed, but also effectively prevents debris from entering the interior of the toothed track 4, and facilitates quick disassembly for maintenance or replacement.

[0037] Example 3:

[0038] This embodiment is basically the same as embodiment 1, except for the material of the anti-slip structure 12; in this embodiment, the anti-slip structure 12 of the foot pedal 1 is a metal material with a textured surface.

[0039] In this embodiment, the anti-slip structure 12 of the pedal 1 is made of a textured metal material, which can distribute pressure and reduce local wear, thereby improving the wear resistance of the pedal and extending its service life to adapt to different users' foot shapes and usage habits. At the same time, the pedal 1 is made of a lighter but stronger composite material, which reduces the overall weight and improves the user's operational flexibility.

[0040] Working principle:

[0041] First, when the position of the pedal 1 needs to be adjusted, pressing the pedal 1 compresses the limiting spring 3, causing the buckle head 21 to disengage from the rack 41. The pedal 1 can then slide freely along the toothed track 4 to the desired position. After releasing the pedal 1, the limiting spring 3 returns to its original state, pushing the buckle head 21 back into the gap of the rack 41, ensuring the pedal 1 is stably fixed in the new position. The anti-slip structure 12 on the surface of the pedal 1, such as a rubber anti-slip pad or textured surface, provides additional friction to prevent the foot from slipping and ensure the stability of the movement. The racks 41 on the toothed track 4 are evenly distributed to support the adjustment of the pedal 1, while the positioning bar 5 further enhances the stability of the buckle 2, preventing displacement or loosening during adjustment and fixing. The entire device provides an efficient and safe user experience through the synergistic effect of these structures.

[0042] The above embodiments are illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any simple modifications to the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
