Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of sports equipment accessories, and in particular to a connecting device and a stationary bike. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, some sports equipment requires the use of connecting devices for fixation, such as the fixation of the seat height and fore-aft position after adjustment on a spin bike.

[0003] In related technologies, the connecting device includes a handle, a connector, and a spring. One end of the connector is slidably and rotatably connected to the handle. The handle has multiple locking teeth, the connector has multiple locking slots, and the spring is located between the handle and the connector so that the connector is close to the handle, and each locking tooth engages in each locking slot to limit the rotation between the handle and the connector.

[0004] When in use, the other end of the connector is threaded onto the seat of the exercise bike. Pull the handle outward to disengage the teeth from their respective slots, then rotate the handle. After releasing the handle, the teeth engage with their respective slots under the action of the spring, thus limiting the rotation of the handle. This allows adjustment of the angle between the handle and the exercise bike to ensure the overall aesthetics of the exercise bike.

[0005] However, in practical applications, it is sometimes difficult to apply force to the handlebars, making it difficult to rotate them. This makes it difficult to thread the connector onto the seat of the exercise bike, which is inconvenient for installing the connection device. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0006] To facilitate the installation of the connecting device, in a first aspect, this application provides a connecting device.

[0007] The connecting device provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A connecting device includes a mounting base, a connector, an elastic element, and a handle; one end of the mounting base is provided with a movable groove, and the mounting base is provided with a plurality of locking teeth spaced apart along its circumference at the movable groove.

[0009] The connector includes a connecting block and a threaded post; one end of the connecting block is slidably and rotatably connected to the movable groove, and the end of the connecting block near the mounting base has multiple slots; the elastic element is provided on the mounting base to drive the connecting block to abut against the bottom wall of the movable groove, so that each of the locking teeth engages in the slots; the threaded post is provided on the end of the connecting block away from the mounting base; the handle is rotatably connected to the end of the mounting base away from the connecting block.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, in practical applications, the threaded column is connected to the seat of the exercise bike. Pulling the handle outwards moves the mounting seat away from the connecting block, causing the locking teeth to disengage from their respective slots. At this time, by rotating the mounting seat by the handle, and then releasing the handle after a certain angle, the mounting seat, under the reset action of the elastic element, causes the locking teeth to re-engage in their respective slots, thereby achieving the adjustment of the angle between the handle and the exercise bike.

[0011] When it is difficult to apply force to the handlebar, the angle between the handlebar and the mounting base can be changed by rotating the handlebar. Then, depending on the actual situation, the handlebar and the mounting base can be aligned in a straight line or perpendicular to the mounting base, which makes it easier to apply force to the handlebar, so that the threaded post can be threaded onto the exercise bike, and thus facilitates the installation of the connecting device.

[0012] Preferably, the connector further includes a connecting bolt, and the mounting base has a mounting groove at one end away from the threaded post. The connecting bolt and the elastic element are disposed in the mounting groove, and the connecting bolt is threaded to the connecting block. One end of the elastic element elastically abuts against the connecting bolt, and the other end elastically abuts against the bottom wall of the mounting groove.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution and setting connecting bolts, a detachable connection can be achieved between the mounting base, the connecting parts and the elastic parts, so as to facilitate the assembly of the connecting device.

[0014] Preferably, the elastic element is sleeved on the connecting bolt.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting an elastic element sleeve on the connecting bolt, the elastic element is limited, so as to avoid excessive bending and deformation of the elastic element and damage.

[0016] Preferably, the connector further includes an abutment block, which is disposed between the connector and the threaded post, and the abutment block abuts against one end of the mounting base near the threaded post.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting an abutment block, under the drive of the elastic element, the abutment block abuts against the end of the mounting base near the threaded post, which can further limit the sliding position of the connecting block, so that each locking tooth is more stably locked in each slot.

[0018] Preferably, the abutment block is frustum-shaped, and the diameter of the abutment block at the end closest to the threaded post is smaller than the diameter at the other end.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting the abutment block to be frustum-shaped, the surface of the abutment block is smooth. During the threaded connection of the threaded column to the exercise bike, the contact between the abutment block and the user can be minimized to avoid injury, thereby improving the safety of the connection device.

[0020] Preferably, the mounting base has four abutment grooves spaced apart circumferentially at one end away from the threaded post, the handle abuts against the sidewalls of two of the abutment grooves, and the bottom wall of each abutment groove is for the handle to abut against.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution and setting four abutment grooves, the handlebars abut against the side walls of two of the abutment grooves, which makes the rotation of the handlebars have a certain damping, so that the handlebars can be stably maintained after rotation, thus ensuring the overall aesthetics of the exercise bike.

[0022] Preferably, the other two abutment grooves are provided with arc-shaped clearance grooves to allow the handle to rotate.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution and setting a clearance groove, interference with the rotation of the handle can be minimized while ensuring damping of the handle rotation.

[0024] Secondly, this application provides a stationary bicycle.

[0025] The exercise bike provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0026] A stationary bicycle includes the connection device described above.

[0027] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0028] 1. When it is difficult to apply force to the handlebar, rotate the handlebar to change the angle between the handlebar and the mounting base. Then, depending on the actual situation, select whether the handlebar and the mounting base are in the same straight line or perpendicular to the mounting base, so as to facilitate the application of force to the handlebar, so as to facilitate the threaded connection of the threaded column to the exercise bike, and thus facilitate the installation of the connection device.

[0029] 2. By using connecting bolts, a detachable connection can be achieved between the mounting base, the connector, and the elastic element, so as to facilitate the assembly of the connecting device;

[0030] 3. By setting an abutment block, driven by the elastic element, the abutment block abuts against the end of the mounting base near the threaded post, which can further limit the sliding position of the connecting block, so that each tooth can be more stably engaged in each slot.

[0035] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains; the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the application; the terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, in the specification, claims, and foregoing description of the drawings are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion.

[0036] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0037] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.

[0038] This application discloses a connecting device.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The connecting device includes a mounting base 1, a connector 2, an elastic element 3, and a handle 4. The mounting base 1 is cylindrical, and a circular movable groove 11 is provided at the lower end of the mounting base 1. The mounting base 1 has multiple locking teeth 12 protruding from the movable groove 11. The multiple locking teeth 12 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the mounting base 1.

[0040] The connector 2 includes a connecting block 21 and a threaded post 22. The connecting block 21 is a round block, and its upper end is slidably and rotatably connected to the movable groove 11. The upper end of the connecting block 21 has multiple slots 23, the number of which is the same as the number of locking teeth 12. In this embodiment, the elastic element 3 is a spring, installed on the mounting base 1, and used to drive the connecting block 21 closer to the mounting base 1, that is, to drive the connecting block 21 to abut against the bottom wall of the movable groove 11, so that each locking tooth 12 engages in each slot 23, thereby limiting relative rotation between the mounting base 1 and the connector 2. The threaded post 22 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting block 21 to achieve a threaded connection with the exercise bike. The handle 4 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the mounting base 1.

[0041] In practical applications, the threaded post 22 is threaded to the seat of the exercise bike. Pulling the handlebar 4 outwards moves the mounting seat 1 away from the connecting block 21, causing the locking teeth 12 to disengage from the slots 23. At this time, by rotating the mounting seat 1 with the handlebar 4, after rotating a certain angle, the handlebar 4 is released. Under the reset action of the elastic element 3, the locking teeth 12 are re-engaged in the slots 23, so as to realize the adjustment of the angle between the handlebar 4 and the exercise bike.

[0042] When it is difficult to apply force to the handle 4, the angle between the handle 4 and the mounting base 1 can be changed by rotating the handle 4. Then, depending on the actual situation, the handle 4 and the mounting base 1 can be positioned in the same straight line or perpendicular to the mounting base 1, so as to facilitate the application of force to the handle 4, so that the threaded post 22 can be threadedly connected to the exercise bike, and thus facilitate the installation of the connecting device.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the upper end of the mounting base 1 has four abutment grooves 13, which are evenly spaced along the circumference of the mounting base 1. The two inner sides of the handle 4 abut against the side walls of two of the abutment grooves 13 to restrict the rotation of the handle 4, requiring a certain force to rotate it. This provides damping to the rotation of the handle 4, ensuring its stable position after rotation and maintaining the overall aesthetics of the exercise bike. Simultaneously, when the handle 4 rotates to be perpendicular to the mounting base 1, it abuts against the bottom walls of three of the abutment grooves 13 to further restrict its rotation, maintaining its aesthetically pleasing state.

[0044] In some embodiments, a clearance groove 14 is provided at the two abutment grooves 13 that do not abut against the inner side of the handle 4. The clearance groove 14 is arc-shaped to allow the handle 4 to rotate and make room, which can ensure the damping of the rotation of the handle 4 while minimizing interference with the rotation of the handle 4.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments, the connector 2 further includes a connecting bolt 24. A circular mounting groove 15 is provided at the upper end of the mounting base 1. Both the connecting bolt 24 and the elastic element 3 are located in the mounting groove 15. Specifically, the lower end of the connecting bolt 24 passes through the movable groove 11 and is threadedly connected to the upper end of the connecting block 21. One end of the elastic element 3 elastically abuts against the upper end of the connecting bolt 24, and the other end elastically abuts against the bottom wall of the mounting groove 15, thereby driving the connecting block 21 to slide closer to the mounting base 1. During installation, the elastic element 3 is first placed in the mounting groove 15, then the connecting block 21 is slid into the movable groove 11, and then the connecting bolt 24 is threadedly connected to the connecting block 21. This achieves the installation of the mounting base 1, connector 2, and elastic element 3, making the operation simple and convenient, thus facilitating the assembly of the connecting device. Furthermore, it achieves a detachable connection between the mounting base 1, connector 2, and elastic element 3.

[0046] In some embodiments, the elastic element 3 is sleeved on the connecting bolt 24 to limit the elastic element 3, so as to avoid excessive bending and deformation of the elastic element 3 and damage, thereby effectively improving the service life of the elastic element 3.

[0047] In some embodiments, the connector 2 further includes an abutment block 25, which is integrally connected between the connector 21 and the threaded post 22. When the elastic member 3 drives the connector 21 to abut against the bottom wall of the movable groove 11, the abutment block 25 abuts against the lower end of the mounting base 1, which can further limit the sliding position of the connector 21, thereby making each locking tooth 12 more stably locked in each locking groove 23.

[0048] In some embodiments, the abutment block 25 is frustum-shaped, and the diameter of the lower end of the abutment block 25 is smaller than the diameter of the upper end, so that the abutment block 25 smoothly transitions from the connecting block 21 to the threaded post 22, making the surface of the abutment block 25 smooth. During the threaded connection of the threaded post 22 to the exercise bike, the contact between the abutment block 25 and the user can be minimized to avoid injury, thereby improving the safety of the connection device.

[0049] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: In practical application, the threaded post 22 is threaded to the seat of the exercise bike. Pulling the handlebar 4 outwards makes the mounting seat 1 move away from the connecting block 21, so that each locking tooth 12 disengages from each locking slot 23. At this time, by rotating the mounting seat 1 by the handlebar 4, after rotating a certain angle, the handlebar 4 is released. Under the reset action of the elastic element 3, the mounting seat 1 makes each locking tooth 12 re-engage in each locking slot 23, so as to realize the adjustment of the angle between the handlebar 4 and the exercise bike.

[0050] When it is difficult to apply force to the handle 4, the angle between the handle 4 and the mounting base 1 can be changed by rotating the handle 4. Then, depending on the actual situation, the handle 4 and the mounting base 1 can be positioned in the same straight line or perpendicular to the mounting base 1, so as to facilitate the application of force to the handle 4, so that the threaded post 22 can be threadedly connected to the exercise bike, and thus facilitate the installation of the connecting device.

[0051] This application also discloses a stationary bicycle.

[0052] The exercise bike includes the connection device described in the above embodiments.

[0053] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
