Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Currently, the saddles of vehicles (such as bicycles, electric bicycles, and motorcycles) generally adopt a traditional structural design. Their core materials are usually soft fillers such as high-elasticity sponge and polyurethane foam, combined with a saddle base shell (such as plastic or metal), surface skin, and a small number of spring structures.

[0003] While high-elasticity sponge materials can provide good rebound performance in the early stages, their molecular structure is prone to irreversible deformation under long-term pressure and environmental factors (such as changes in humidity and temperature), leading to saddle surface collapse and a significant decrease in support. This problem not only reduces riding comfort but also directly affects the user's riding experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the problem that the elastic material on the surface of the existing saddle cannot rebound after a long period of use, this utility model is proposed.

[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an inflatable saddle, which aims to solve the problem that the elastic material on the surface of the saddle cannot rebound after a long period of use, resulting in uncomfortable riding.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an inflatable saddle, comprising a saddle base shell, a rebound cotton and an inflation ball, wherein the rebound cotton is installed on the top of the saddle base shell, a pre-set cavity is provided at the bottom of the saddle base shell, and an inflation component is provided between the saddle base shell and the opposite surface of the inflation component.

[0007] The inflation assembly includes a chassis. Inflatable airbags are fixed on both sides of the top of the inflation assembly, and the interiors of the two airbags are connected. An air inlet is provided at one end of the airbag near the chassis, and an air inlet connecting pipe is fixed at the position of the air inlet. An inflation connecting pipe is inserted through the top of the saddle base shell, and a valve core nozzle is fixedly connected to one end of the inflation connecting pipe located inside a preset cavity.

[0008] As an improved technical solution, the top of the rebound cotton is provided with a horizontal groove in the middle, and the end face of the rebound cotton near the bottom shell of the saddle is provided with a fitting cavity that matches the shape of the bottom shell of the saddle.

[0009] As an improved technical solution, airbag cavities for storing inflatable airbags are provided on both sides of the fitting cavity, and the interiors of the two airbag cavities are connected.

[0010] As an improved technical solution, positioning grooves are provided on both sides of the top of the saddle base shell, and a positioning disc is coaxially fixed inside the positioning groove.

[0011] As an improved technical solution, the end face of the chassis away from the inflatable airbag is provided with a concave cavity, and positioning sleeves that engage with the positioning plate are fixed on both sides inside the concave cavity.

[0012] As an improved technical solution, hollow disks are fixed on both sides inside the preset cavity, and vertical rods are fixed on both sides inside the preset cavity and inside the hollow disks. A circular hole is opened at the end of the vertical rod away from the preset cavity.

[0013] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. This utility model uses a positioning sleeve on a positioning plate to limit the position of the inflatable component on the saddle base shell, so as to ensure that the inflatable component is accurately and quickly installed in the predetermined position on the saddle base shell, to ensure the supporting effect of the inflatable component on the rebound cotton, and to fix the air inlet pipe and the inflatable pipe together.

[0015] 2. This utility model uses an inflatable ball to continuously inflate and expand the airbag. The expansion state of the airbag is adjusted according to the amount of air inflated. Thus, by inflating and deflating the airbag, the firmness and support of the saddle can be adjusted to meet the personalized needs of different users.

[0016] 3. In this utility model, an inflatable component is added between the bottom shell of the saddle and the rebound cotton. The inflatable component serves as a central support layer, which evenly distributes the weight of the human body to the surface of the inflatable component. Inflation can support the rebound cotton to prevent it from collapsing, which helps to reduce the compression deformation of the rebound cotton and prevents the rebound cotton on the surface of the saddle from collapsing after a long period of use. This extends the service life of the saddle and also improves the comfort of riding. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0024] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] Reference Figures 1-4 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides an inflatable saddle. This inflatable saddle includes a saddle base shell 1, a rebound cotton 3 and an inflation ball. The rebound cotton 3 is installed on the top of the saddle base shell 1. A preset cavity 12 is provided at the bottom of the saddle base shell 1. An inflation component 2 is provided between the opposite surfaces of the saddle base shell 1 and the inflation component 2.

[0027] The inflation assembly 2 includes a chassis 21. Inflatable airbags 22 are fixed to both sides of the top of the inflation assembly 2, and the interiors of the two airbags 22 are connected. One airbag 22 has an air inlet at its end near the chassis 21, and an air inlet pipe 23 is fixed at the air inlet. An inflation pipe 5 is inserted through the top of the saddle base shell 1, and the opposite end of the inflation pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the air inlet pipe 23. One end of the inflation pipe 5 is located above the saddle base shell 1, and the other end of the inflation pipe 5... Located inside the preset cavity 12, the inflation tube 5 is fixedly connected to a valve core nozzle 51 at one end inside the preset cavity 12. The outlet end of the inflation ball is aligned with the inlet end of the valve core nozzle 51, and the inflation ball continuously inflates the airbag 22. The inflation state of the airbag 22 is adjusted according to the amount of inflation. Thus, by inflating and deflating the airbag 22, the softness and hardness and support force of the saddle can be adjusted to meet the personalized needs of different users.

[0028] The top of the rebound cotton 3 has a horizontal groove 31 in the middle, and the end face of the rebound cotton 3 near the saddle bottom shell 1 has a fitting cavity 32 that matches the shape of the saddle bottom shell 1.

[0029] Both sides of the fitting cavity 32 are provided with airbag cavities 33 for storing inflatable airbags 22, and the interiors of the two airbag cavities 33 are connected.

[0030] Hollow disks 6 are fixed on both sides inside the pre-set cavity 12. Vertical rods 7 are fixed on both sides inside the pre-set cavity 12 and inside the hollow disks 6. The vertical rods 7 and the hollow disks 6 are coaxially arranged. A round hole 8 is opened at the end of the vertical rod 7 away from the pre-set cavity 12.

[0031] During use, an inflation component 2 is installed between the saddle base shell 1 and the rebound cotton 3. The inflation component 2 serves as a central support layer, distributing the body weight evenly to the surface of the inflation component 2. Inflation can support the rebound cotton 3 to prevent it from collapsing, which helps reduce the compression deformation of the rebound cotton 3. This prevents the rebound cotton 3 on the saddle surface from collapsing due to lack of rebound after prolonged use, thus extending the saddle's service life and improving riding comfort.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that: both sides of the top of the saddle base shell 1 are provided with positioning grooves 11, and a positioning disk 4 is coaxially fixed inside the positioning grooves 11.

[0034] A concave cavity 24 is provided on the end face of the chassis 21 away from the inflatable airbag 22, and positioning sleeves 25 that engage with the positioning plate 4 are fixed on both sides inside the concave cavity 24.

[0035] During use, when the inflatable component 2 is installed on the saddle base shell 1, the positioning sleeve 25 and positioning groove 11 on the same side are aligned, and the positioning sleeve 25 is put on the positioning plate 4 to limit the position of the inflatable component 2 on the saddle base shell 1. This is to ensure that the inflatable component 2 is installed accurately and quickly on the saddle base shell 1 at the predetermined position, and to ensure the support effect of the inflatable component 2 on the rebound cotton 3.

[0036] The remaining structure is the same as that in Example 1.

[0037] Based on embodiments 1-2, the working principle of this utility model is as follows: the inflation component 2 is installed on the saddle base shell 1, and the air inlet pipe 23 is fixed together with the inflation pipe 5. Then, the rebound cotton 3 is fixed on the saddle base shell 1, so that the two inflatable airbags 22 enter the interior of the two airbag cavities 33 respectively.

[0038] The outlet end of the inflatable ball is aligned with the air inlet end of the valve core nozzle 51, and the inflatable ball continuously inflates the airbag 22 to support the rebound cotton 3.

[0039] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
