AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

As the rotation angle of the traditional hydraulic brake lever increases during use, the gripping force required by the operator also increases, making braking difficult and challenging to control during long rides or emergency braking, thus posing a safety hazard.

Method used

A bicycle hydraulic brake lever structure was designed. By setting a hydraulic cylinder and a piston inside the cylinder, and using the lever principle, as the rotation angle of the handlebar increases, the movement lever arm of the piston in the hydraulic cylinder becomes longer, reducing the gripping force of the operator's hand and increasing the piston thrust, thus achieving a lighter braking operation.

Benefits of technology

Without increasing hand grip strength, it enhances braking force, improves riding comfort and control, and is especially suitable for long-distance riding and riders with weak grip strength, significantly improving the braking performance and safety of the braking system.

[0015] Figure 2 This is a front cross-sectional view of the present invention.

[0016] In the diagram: 1. Brake lever seat; 101. Cylinder body; 102. Hydraulic cylinder; 103. Piston; 104. Return spring; 2. Handle; 3. Lower pressure arm. Detailed Implementation

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0018] Example 1

[0019] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this is the first embodiment of the utility model, which provides a bicycle hydraulic brake lever structure, including a brake lever seat 1, a connecting shaft on the top of the brake lever seat 1, a lower pressure arm 3 outside the connecting shaft, and a handle 2 outside the lower pressure arm 3.

[0020] Among them, the brake lever seat 1 includes a cylinder body 101, a hydraulic cylinder 102 is hinged to the inner cavity of the cylinder body 101, a piston 103 is provided inside the hydraulic cylinder 102, and the top of the piston 103 extends to the outside of the hydraulic cylinder 102 and is hinged to the bottom of the lower pressure arm 3.

[0021] When the operator holds the handle 2, the handle 2 rotates to drive the pressing arm 3 to press the piston 103, and due to the hinging between the oil cylinder 102 and the cylinder body 101, the pressing arm 3 pushes the piston 103 to move right in the oil cylinder 102, compressing the hydraulic oil in the oil cylinder 102. As the rotation angle of the handle 2 gradually increases, the swing angle of the oil cylinder 102 also increases accordingly, and the movement arm of the piston 103 in the oil cylinder 102 becomes longer. According to the principle of lever, under the condition that the required braking torque is unchanged, the lengthening of the force arm can reduce the gripping force of the operator's hand on the pressing arm 3, so that a greater piston 103 thrust can be generated under the action of the same hand gripping force, realizing a lighter feeling.

[0022] Embodiment 2

[0023] As shown in Figure 2 , this embodiment includes the features of embodiment 1, and the technical feature is that a reset spring 104 is arranged inside the oil cylinder 102, and the other end of the reset spring 104 is connected to the outside of the piston 103.

[0024] When the operator releases the pressing arm 3, the elastic force of the reset spring 104 drives the piston 103 to reset, preparing for the next braking.

[0025] The outer shape of the oil cylinder 102 is circular, and the outer side of the oil cylinder 102 is movably connected to the inner wall of the cylinder body 101.

[0026] When the operator holds or releases the pressing arm 3, the handle 2 drives the oil cylinder 102 to swing left and right inside the cylinder body 101, which is used to change the angle of the oil cylinder 102 and adjust the lever ratio of the piston 103, so that the braking is more convenient, and the swing of the oil cylinder 102 makes the movement arm of the piston 103 longer. Under the action of the same hand gripping force, due to the increase of the piston 103 thrust, the hydraulic oil is more forcefully squeezed, so that it is delivered to the brake clamp through the oil pipe, so that the brake pad generates greater clamping force on the disc, thereby realizing greater braking force, ensuring that fast and stable braking can be realized in various riding scenes, and ensuring riding safety.

[0027] The inner cavity of the oil cylinder 102 is provided with hydraulic oil, and the outer side of the oil cylinder 102 is connected with an oil pipe.

[0028] When the operator brakes, the handle 2 and the pressing arm 3 squeeze the piston 103, the piston 103 squeezes the hydraulic oil, which is delivered to the brake clamp through the oil pipe, so that the brake pad brakes the bicycle.

[0029] The outer shape of the cylinder body 101 is conical, and the inner diameter of the cylinder body 101 is larger at the top than at the bottom.

[0030] When the oil cylinder 102 swings, the cylinder body 101 is convenient to swing and is not hindered through a large range of the inner diameter of the cylinder body 101.

[0031] The spring sheet is connected to the outer side of the oil cylinder 102 at the other end;

[0032] When the handle 2 is held, the oil cylinder 102 extrudes the spring sheet, and the spring sheet is in an extrusion state, so that the spring force is applied to the oil cylinder 102, the oil cylinder 102 is conveniently reset to the initial position, the lever ratio is restored to the initial state, the brake system is released, and the next braking operation is waited.

[0033] The working principle and use process of the utility model are as follows:

[0034] Firstly, when the operator brakes the bicycle, the handle 2 is held, the handle 2 drives the lower pressing arm 3 to rotate around the connecting shaft, and then the lower pressing arm 3 extrudes the oil cylinder 102 to rotate in the cylinder body 101, the movement arm of the piston 103 is lengthened with the swinging of the oil cylinder 102, greater piston 103 thrust can be generated under the action of the same hand holding force, so that lighter hand feeling is realized, and because the piston 103 thrust is increased, the hydraulic oil in the inside is more powerfully extruded to pass through the oil pipe and is transmitted to the brake clamp, the brake pad in the brake clamp is pushed to generate greater clamping force on the disc, and greater braking force is realized, so that the angle of the oil cylinder 102 is adjusted to change the lever ratio, the holding force required by the operator to be applied in the braking process is effectively reduced, the brake operation is more relaxed and labor-saving, is especially suitable for long-time riders and riders with small holding force, the comfort and controllability of riding are obviously improved, and with the optimization of the lever ratio, the piston 103 can generate greater thrust to transmit more hydraulic oil pressure to the brake clamp, so that the brake pad generates greater clamping force on the disc, the braking performance of the brake system is greatly improved, and the riding safety is ensured.
