[0002] The bicycle speed change operating device is used for gear shifting of the bicycle speed changer, and the speed change operating device is connected to the bicycle speed changer through a control cable to perform gear shifting operation. During gear shifting, the bicycle chain is switched to cooperate with gear plates of different sizes, and when speed adjustment is performed, the chain is pulled from the current freewheel to the next freewheel through the cable to pull the chain, thereby completing gear shifting, adjusting the transmission ratio of the front and rear gears, and driving the pedaling force, and the bicycle speed change operating device is suitable for different use requirements.

[0003] The bicycle speed change operating device in the prior art is divided into a finger dial speed changer and an electronic finger dialer. The finger dial speed changer generally realizes gear shifting by finger dialing a gear shifter. The electronic finger dialer is controlled by electricity and is generally composed of a finger dialer main body and two control units. Each control unit has a button, the finger dialer main body is installed on the handlebar, and the user can adjust the speed of the bicycle by operating the two finger dial units when riding. When the electronic finger dialer in the prior art performs gear shifting operation, the two finger dial units are operated, which not only has a complex structure, but also is relatively small due to space limitations, and is relatively troublesome to operate and prone to operation errors. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0004] The utility model aims at overcoming the above-mentioned problems, and provides an electronic finger dialer convenient to operate. The electronic finger dialer has a simple structure, is very convenient to operate, is more comfortable, and can reduce operation errors.

[0005] The utility model achieves the above-mentioned purpose through the following technical solutions.

[0006] An electronic finger dialer convenient to operate includes a finger dialer main body, a first switch and a second switch arranged on the finger dialer main body, and a button rotatably arranged on the finger dialer main body. The button is used to trigger the first switch or the second switch.

[0007] The working principle of the above-mentioned electronic finger dialer convenient to operate is as follows.

[0008] The first switch and the second switch correspond to the gear-in and gear-out of the chain dialer respectively, that is, are used to control the gear-in and gear-out of the chain dialer respectively. When operating, one end of the button is pressed to make the one end of the button close to the first switch and contact the first switch, thereby triggering the first switch and realizing gear-in operation. The other end of the button is pressed to make the other end of the button close to the second switch, thereby triggering the second switch and realizing gear-out operation. Different ends of the button are pressed to trigger the first switch and the second switch respectively.

[0009] In one preferred embodiment of the utility model, the key is a panel component, and the panel component is rotatably connected to the finger shifter body through a connecting shaft. In the above structure, the key is a panel component, so that the key has a large area, the panel component is provided with a large face, and the direction of the large face is the same as the pressing direction of the first switch and the second switch, so that the production mold is more convenient, and the production and installation are more convenient. At the same time, the key of the large face has a large area, and the operation is more comfortable, and the convenience of operation is also improved.

[0010] Preferably, the panel component is arc-shaped, and the panel component protrudes towards the direction of the approaching finger shifter body. In the above structure, the arc-shaped panel component can further improve the convenience of key operation.

[0011] Preferably, the connecting line between the first switch and the second switch is not parallel to the axis of the connecting shaft, and the connecting shaft is located between the first switch and the second switch. That is, the first switch and the second switch are located on both sides of the connecting shaft, when pressing one end of the panel component corresponding to the first switch, the other end of the panel component will be away from the second switch; when pressing one end of the panel component corresponding to the second switch, the other end of the panel component will be away from the first switch, reducing the misoperation, so that the operation is more convenient. When pressing the middle of the panel component, since the connecting shaft is located between the first switch and the second switch, the first switch and the second switch will not be pressed to cause misoperation.

[0012] Preferably, the panel component is provided with a protrusion at the positions corresponding to the first switch and the second switch. By providing the protrusion, when pressing one end of the panel component corresponding to the first switch, the protrusion contacts the first switch, so as to trigger the first switch and realize the forward gear operation; when pressing one end of the panel component corresponding to the second switch, the protrusion contacts the second switch, so as to trigger the second switch and realize the reverse gear operation; the protrusion can shorten the rotation angle of the panel component, and in turn shorten the movement distance of the end of the panel component, so as to facilitate faster triggering of the first switch or the second switch, improve the gear shifting efficiency, and at the same time, the protrusion is also more convenient to contact the first switch or the second switch, and the structure is also very compact.

[0013] Preferably, reset springs are arranged between the panel member and the first switch and the second switch, one end of the reset spring acting on the panel member and the other end acting on the finger clicker body. By arranging two reset springs, the panel member can return to the original state when the gear shifting operation is performed. Specifically, when pressing one end of the panel member corresponding to the first switch, the elastic force of the reset spring needs to be overcome to trigger the first switch. After the first switch is triggered, the elastic force of the reset spring causes the protrusion of the panel member to separate from the first switch, and the panel member returns to the original state. In this state, the protrusion of the panel member is separated from the first switch and the second switch, and the panel member returns to the original state to complete the gear shifting operation. When pressing one end of the panel member corresponding to the second switch, the elastic force of the reset spring needs to be overcome to trigger the second switch. After the second switch is triggered, the elastic force of the reset spring causes the protrusion of the panel member to separate from the second switch, and the panel member returns to the original state. In this state, the protrusion of the panel member is separated from the first switch and the second switch, and the panel member returns to the original state to complete the gear shifting operation.

[0014] Preferably, the finger clicker body is provided with two switch mounting hole positions for mounting the first switch and the second switch, respectively. By arranging the switch mounting hole positions, the installation of the first switch and the second switch is facilitated.

[0015] Preferably, the panel member is provided with an annular groove at a position corresponding to the reset spring, one end of the reset spring being sleeved in the annular groove and acting on the annular groove, and the other end of the reset spring acting on the switch mounting hole position. The purpose is to facilitate the installation of the reset spring and make the structure very compact.

[0016] Preferably, the finger clicker body is provided with a main board and a button cell, the first switch and the second switch are connected to the main board through wires, and the button cell is connected to the main board. In the above structure, the button cell can provide electric energy. When the operator presses the panel member to trigger the corresponding first switch or second switch, the electrified main board sends a wireless signal to respond to the bicycle derailleur.

[0017] Preferably, the finger clicker body is directly or indirectly mounted on the handlebar of the bicycle.
