[0026] As Figures 1 to 4As shown, the utility model discloses an ergonomic handle, which comprises a handle tube 1, a locking ring 2 and a buffer pad 3. The locking ring 2 is sleeved on one end of the handle tube 1, and the buffer pad 3 is sleeved on the outer surface of the handle tube 1. The buffer pad 3 is provided with a first inclined groove 4, a second inclined groove 5 and a third inclined groove 6. The first inclined groove 4 is arranged around the surface of the buffer pad 3. The second inclined groove 5 is arranged at a first predetermined angle with the first inclined groove 4. The third inclined groove 6 is arranged at a second predetermined angle with the first inclined groove 4. The second inclined groove 5 and the third inclined groove 6 are symmetrically distributed with the central axis of the buffer pad 3 as the axis of symmetry.
[0027] The handle tube 1 is locked with the locking ring 2 to ensure the stable connection of the handle with the handlebar of the bicycle. The buffer pad 3 is made of TPE material to improve the quality and reduce the cost. The first inclined groove 4 is designed in a surrounding manner to enhance the friction and anti-slip performance and promote the rapid flow of sweat, thereby avoiding the problem of wet and slippery caused by the accumulation of sweat. The second inclined groove 5 and the third inclined groove 6 further expand the coverage range of the inclined grooves, so that each holding position of the palm and fingers can obtain uniform anti-slip support, thereby optimizing the holding comfort.
[0028] As a possible implementation, the utility model also includes a palm support 7, which is arranged on the buffer pad 3 away from the handle tube 1. The first inclined groove 4 is arranged around the surface of the palm support 7 and the buffer pad 3.
[0029] The palm support 7 effectively disperses the palm pressure and improves the holding comfort. The first inclined groove 4 on the surface of the palm support 7 cooperates with the first inclined groove 4 on the surface of the buffer pad 3 to form anti-slip lines in the main stress area of the palm, thereby improving the riding safety.
[0030] As a possible implementation, the utility model also includes a handle tube protection plug 8, which is arranged on the handle tube 1 away from the locking ring 2 and closes the handle tube 1.
[0031] The handle tube protection plug 8 is made of PP material to avoid the metal of the handle tube from scratching the human body and to avoid dust, sand, moisture and the like from entering the inside of the handlebar, thereby reducing the risk of rust or blockage.
[0032] As a possible implementation, the utility model also includes a locking ring mounting portion 12, which is arranged on the handle tube 1 close to the locking ring 2. The outer diameter of the locking ring mounting portion 12 is greater than that of the handle tube 1. One end of the locking ring mounting portion 12 is provided with an open slot 9.

[0037] As a possible implementation, the length of the locking ring 2 is 12.5 mm, the outer diameter of the locking ring 2 is 34 mm, the two locking lugs 10 form an opening 11, the opening 11 is inclined towards the ground, and the center line of the opening 11 forms an angle of 45° with the horizontal plane.
[0038] Optionally, when installed on the handlebar, one end of the locking ring 2 is provided with an M4 hexagonal nut, and an M4 internal hexagonal screw passes through the connecting nut from the upper circular hole, so as to realize locking. The angle between the opening 11 formed by the two locking lugs 10 of the locking ring 2 and the horizontal plane can avoid interference with the brake handle, and improve the safety and convenience of operation.
[0039] As a possible implementation, the locking ring 2 is made of nylon material.
[0040] The locking ring 2 is made of nylon material instead of traditional aluminum alloy material, which not only reduces the weight and cost, but also avoids the rotation of the handlebar around the handlebar through the high friction coefficient of nylon.
[0041] As a possible implementation, the palm support 7 is inclined towards the ground, and forms a third predetermined angle with the horizontal plane, the first predetermined angle is 95°, the second predetermined angle is 95°, and the third predetermined angle is 14°.
[0042] The palm support 7 adopts an ergonomic inclined structure, improves the fit with the palm, relieves the compression of the hand nerve caused by long-time riding, and reduces hand fatigue.
