Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cycling trainer technology, and more particularly to a cycling trainer swing frame and cycling trainer. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing popularity of indoor cycling training, cycling trainers (such as smart trainers or resistance trainers) have gradually become an important tool for cycling enthusiasts and professional athletes in their daily training. To enhance the realism and comfort of training, many cycling trainers are equipped with a swing frame (also known as a swing base or swing support frame). This device allows the trainer to tilt to a certain extent left and right during cycling, achieving a dynamic experience that is closer to outdoor cycling.

[0003] Existing swing frames typically include a main support structure with mounting holes for inserting or securing the trainer's support legs (kicks). However, these mounting holes are usually designed and manufactured to fit specific models or sizes of kickstands, meaning the diameter and shape of the mounting holes are precisely matched to the kickstand. Because different brands or models of trainers may use kickstands with varying diameters, shapes, lengths, and other parameters, existing swing frame mounting holes can only accommodate specific kickstand specifications, resulting in poor adaptability.

[0004] In practical use, if a user changes the model of the cycling trainer, universal installation is not possible, often requiring customization or replacement of the swing frame itself. This not only increases the user's economic costs but also reduces the product's versatility and market compatibility.

[0005] Therefore, existing technologies still need to be improved and developed. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this application is to provide a cycling trainer swing frame that addresses the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art, and aims to solve the problem that the swing frame in the prior art can only match specific specifications of footrests and has poor adaptability.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this application to solve the technical problem is as follows:

[0008] A cycling trainer swing frame, comprising:

[0009] The swing frame body is provided with foot support mounting holes.

[0010] A locking member has one end located outside the swing frame body and the other end inserted into the foot support mounting hole, and is used to cooperate with the inner wall of the foot support mounting hole to clamp the foot support; the locking member can move relative to the swing frame body to adjust its insertion depth into the foot support mounting hole.

[0011] The aforementioned cycling platform swing frame, wherein the locking member is threadedly connected to the swing frame body.

[0012] In the aforementioned cycling platform swing frame, the locking member is located above the foot support, and the extension line of the locking member intersects perpendicularly with the central axis of the foot support.

[0013] The aforementioned cycling trainer swing frame further includes:

[0014] A locking head is located inside the foot support mounting hole and is detachably connected to the locking member; the locking head is used to abut against the foot support; the locking head has a top-holding plane on the side facing the foot support, and the area of ​​the top-holding plane is larger than the radial cross-sectional area of ​​the locking member.

[0015] The aforementioned cycling platform swing frame, wherein the footrest mounting holes include:

[0016] The curved hole is used to accommodate the foot support;

[0017] A square hole is located above the curved hole and communicates with the curved hole; the locking head is located inside the square hole.

[0018] The aforementioned cycling trainer swing frame further includes:

[0019] An anti-loosening device is threadedly connected to the locking member and located outside the swing frame body; the anti-loosening device is in contact with the swing frame body.

[0020] The aforementioned cycling trainer swing frame further includes:

[0021] At least one rib is provided on the inner wall of the foot support mounting hole and is used to abut against the foot support.

[0022] The cycling platform swing frame includes multiple ribs, with each pair of ribs forming a rib unit; the two ribs in the rib unit are arranged symmetrically with the extension line of the locking member as the center.

[0023] The aforementioned cycling platform swing frame, wherein the ribs are parallel to the central axis of the footrest.

[0024] A cycling trainer that includes a cycling trainer swing frame as described in any of the above.

[0025] Beneficial effects: This application utilizes a locking member on the swing frame body. By adjusting the movement of the locking member, the insertion depth of the locking member into the footrest mounting hole is adjusted, thereby regulating the space within the footrest mounting hole for inserting the footrest. Furthermore, adjusting the locking member allows it to engage with the inner wall of the footrest mounting hole, clamping the footrest securely. This enables the footrest mounting hole to accommodate footrests of different diameters, improving the swing frame body's adaptability to various footrest diameters. If the user changes the cycling trainer model, the swing frame body can still be universally compatible without requiring customization or replacement, reducing user costs and enhancing product versatility and market compatibility.

[0032] The embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this application from the content disclosed in this specification. This application can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this application. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments are only for illustrating this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application.

[0033] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of this application. Therefore, the drawings only show the components related to this application and are not drawn according to the actual number, shape and size of the components in the actual implementation. In the actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0034] This application provides a cycling trainer swing frame, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figures 4-6 As shown, the cycling trainer swing frame includes a swing frame body 1 and a locking member 2; the swing frame body 1 is provided with a foot support mounting hole 3; one end of the locking member 2 is located outside the swing frame body 1; the other end of the locking member 2 is inserted into the foot support mounting hole 3 and is used to cooperate with the inner wall of the foot support mounting hole 3 to clamp the foot support 100; the locking member 2 can move relative to the swing frame body 1 to adjust its insertion depth into the foot support mounting hole 3.

[0035] Specifically, the swing frame body 1 is placed on the ground and, after being installed with the foot support 100, stabilizes and supports the entire riding platform. The foot support mounting hole 3 is provided on the swing frame body 1 and is used to accommodate the foot support 100, thereby achieving the connection between the foot support 100 and the swing frame body 1. One end of the locking member 2 is located outside the swing frame body 1, allowing the user to hold and adjust the locking member 2; the other end of the locking member 2 passes through the swing frame body 1 and is inserted into the foot support mounting hole 3, so that the part on the inner wall of the foot support mounting hole 3 that is opposite to the locking member 2 can cooperate with the locking member 2 to clamp the foot support 100.

[0036] Simultaneously, the locking member 2 can move relative to the swing frame body 1 under external force to adjust the depth of the locking member 2 inserted into the foot support mounting hole 3. When the locking member 2 is held at one end outside the swing frame body 1 and moved outward, the depth of the locking member 2 inserted into the foot support mounting hole 3 decreases, and the space within the foot support mounting hole 3 for installing the foot support 100 increases, thus accommodating a larger diameter foot support 100. Further adjustments to the locking member 2 are then made to clamp and lock the larger diameter foot support 100. Conversely, when the locking member 2 is held at one end outside the swing frame body 1 and moved inward, the depth of the locking member 2 inserted into the foot support mounting hole 3 increases, and the space within the foot support mounting hole 3 for installing the foot support 100 decreases, thus accommodating a smaller diameter foot support 100. Further adjustments to the locking member 2 are then made to clamp and lock the smaller diameter foot support 100.

[0037] Therefore, this application incorporates a locking element 2 on the swing frame body 1. The depth of the locking element 2 inserted into the foot support mounting hole 3 is adjusted by moving the locking element 2, thereby adjusting the space within the foot support mounting hole 3 where the foot support 100 can be inserted. Adjusting the locking element 2 allows it to engage with the inner wall of the foot support mounting hole 3 to clamp the foot support 100, thus enabling the foot support mounting hole 3 to accommodate foot supports 100 of different diameters. This improves the adaptability of the swing frame body 1 to foot supports 100 of different diameters. If the user changes the cycling trainer model, the swing frame body 1 can still be universally compatible without requiring customization or replacement, reducing user costs and enhancing product versatility and market compatibility.

[0038] It is understandable that, in this application, when installing the foot support 100, the locking member 2 can be inserted first, with sufficient space reserved between the locking member 2 and the inner wall of the foot support mounting hole 3, so that the locking member 2 will not interfere with the insertion of the foot support 100; then the foot support 100 is inserted into the foot support mounting hole 3, and the locking member 2 is moved and adjusted so that the locking member 2 and the inner wall of the foot support mounting hole 3 cooperate to clamp the foot support 100, thus completing the installation of the foot support 100. Alternatively, when installing the foot support 100, the locking member 2 can be omitted first; instead, the foot support 100 can be inserted first, then the locking member 2 inserted, and then the locking member 2 moved and adjusted so that the locking member 2 and the inner wall of the foot support mounting hole 100 cooperate to clamp the foot support 100, thus completing the installation of the foot support 100.

[0039] Example 1

[0040] The relative fixation between the locking element 2 and the swing frame body 1 relies on the friction between them, that is, the swing frame body 1 is provided with an assembly hole 8 (e.g., Figure 2 As shown, the mounting hole 8 is connected to the foot support mounting hole 3; the locking member 2 is tightly fitted to the inner wall of the mounting hole 8 to ensure sufficient friction between them to counteract the reaction force of the foot support 100 on the locking member 2. The adjustment and movement of the locking member 2 can only be achieved by pushing and pulling the locking member 2 with external force.

[0041] Example 2

[0042] The locking element 2 is threadedly connected to the swing frame body 1.

[0043] Specifically, the locking member 2 is screw-shaped, that is, the outer surface of the locking member 2 is provided with external threads; the inner wall of the assembly hole 8 is provided with internal threads, and the locking member 2 and the assembly hole 8 are connected by the cooperation of the external threads and the internal threads; then, the depth of the locking member 2 inserted into the foot support mounting hole 3 can be adjusted simply by rotating the locking member 2.

[0044] Since the locking member 2 is adjusted and positioned by friction between the locking member 2 and the rocker frame body 1, the locking member 2 is prone to wear, which makes the locking force of the locking member 2 on the foot support 100 easily loose due to wear. Therefore, in this application, the threaded connection between the locking member 2 and the rocker frame body 1 in Embodiment 2 is preferred to realize the connection between the locking member 2 and the rocker frame body 1.

[0045] It is understandable that the locking component 2 can also be installed and cooperated with the rocker frame body 1 by means of ratchet, worm gear, etc., so as to realize the movement and adjustment of the locking component 2 relative to the rocker frame body 1.

[0046] In one embodiment of this application, the locking member 2 is located above the foot support 100, and the extension line of the locking member 2 intersects perpendicularly with the central axis of the foot support 100.

[0047] Specifically, the locking member 2 is a cylindrical structure. The locking member 2 is located above the foot support 100, and the axis of the locking member 2 is arranged in the vertical direction, so that the lower end of the locking member 2 faces the foot support 100; the upper end of the locking member 2 is located outside the swing frame body 1 and is available for the user to hold and adjust.

[0048] Compared to other arrangements of the locking member 2, in this embodiment, the locking member 2 is positioned above the foot support 100. This allows the locking member 2 to engage vertically with the bottom inner wall of the foot support mounting hole 3 to clamp the foot support 100. Since the foot support 100, after being inserted into the foot support mounting hole 3, has the largest contact area with the bottom inner wall of the foot support mounting hole 3 due to its own weight and the downward pressure of the bicycle on the riding platform, the bottom inner wall of the foot support mounting hole 3 naturally exerts a certain holding force on the foot support 100. Therefore, the vertical engagement of the locking member 2 with the bottom inner wall of the foot support mounting hole 3 from above the foot support 100 makes it easier to fix the foot support 100 in place, and the foot support 100 is less likely to shift out of position.

[0049] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the cycling platform swing frame also includes a locking head 4; the locking head 4 is located inside the foot support mounting hole 3 and is detachably connected to the locking member 2; the locking head 4 is used to abut against the foot support 100; the side of the locking head 4 facing the foot support 100 has a top holding plane, the area of ​​which is larger than the radial cross-sectional area of ​​the locking member 2.

[0050] Specifically, the locking head 4 is detachably connected to one end of the locking member 2 inserted into the foot support mounting hole 3, and directly contacts and abuts against the foot support 100 in place of the locking member 2. The locking head 4 has a pressing surface, and the area of ​​the pressing surface is larger than the radial cross-sectional area of ​​the locking member 2. That is, the pressing surface is used to contact and abut against the foot support 100, and the area of ​​the pressing surface is larger than the area of ​​the axial end face of the locking member 2. Therefore, the contact fit between the locking head 4 and the foot support 100 can increase the contact area and friction between them, improve the clamping and positioning ability of the locking member 2 on the foot support 100, reduce the shaking or relative rotation of the foot support 100 in the foot support mounting hole 3, and improve the stability of the foot support 100 in the foot support mounting hole 3.

[0051] The locking head 4 has an inverted T-shaped structure. A mounting groove is provided at the top of the locking head 4, and the lower end of the locking component 2 is inserted into the mounting groove and detachably connected to the locking head 4, thus forming a single unit with the locking component 2. When the locking component 2 is raised or lowered for adjustment, the locking head 4 can move synchronously with it, thereby adjusting the size of the space within the foot support mounting hole 3 for installing the foot support 100, to accommodate foot supports 100 of different diameters.

[0052] The locking head 4 can be made of flexible materials such as rubber or silicone, so that when the locking part 2 moves down and presses against the foot support 100 through the locking head 4, the locking head 4 can produce a certain elastic deformation, increasing the friction and holding force between the locking head 4 and the foot support 100, and improving the stability of the foot support 100 in the foot support mounting hole 3.

[0053] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the locking member 2 is also provided with a holding part 7 at the end away from the locking head 4. The top area of ​​the holding part 7 is larger than the axial end face area of ​​the locking member 2, so as to facilitate the user to hold it and adjust the position of the locking member 2.

[0054] like Figure 3 As shown, the foot support mounting hole 3 includes an arc-shaped hole 31 and a square hole 32; the arc-shaped hole 31 is used to receive the foot support 100; the square hole 32 is located above the arc-shaped hole 31 and communicates with the arc-shaped hole 31; the locking head 4 is located inside the square hole 32.

[0055] Specifically, the square hole 32 and the arc-shaped hole 31 are distributed vertically. The square hole 32 is used to accommodate the locking head 4, and the arc-shaped hole 31 is used to accommodate the foot support 100. The width of the connection between the arc-shaped hole 31 and the square hole 32 is equal to the width of the square hole 32 and less than the diameter of the arc-shaped hole 31.

[0056] The square hole 32 is tightened on both sides compared to the arc-shaped hole 31, thereby limiting the locking head 4. When the locking member 2 is rotated to adjust the depth of the locking member 2 inserted into the foot support mounting hole 3, if the locking member 2 shakes too much, the side wall of the square hole 32 can interfere with the locking head 4, so that the locking member 2 can move straight up and down as much as possible. When the locking member 2 locks and clamps the foot support 100, the locking member 2 can remain upright, and the contact surface between the locking head 4 and the foot support 100 can reach the maximum, so as to ensure the stability of the foot support 100 in the foot support mounting hole 3.

[0057] like Figure 1 As shown, the cycling platform swing frame also includes an anti-loosening device 5, which is threaded onto the locking member 2 and located outside the swing frame body 1; the anti-loosening device 5 is in contact with the swing frame body 1.

[0058] Specifically, under long-term stress and vibration conditions, the locking force between the locking member 2 and the swing frame body 1 will weaken, causing the locking member 2 to gradually loosen. The anti-loosening device 5 is located above the swing frame body 1 and is in close contact with it, thereby increasing the contact area between it and the locking member 2, increasing the friction between them, and preventing the locking member 2 from loosening under vibration, impact, or long-term use.

[0059] In one embodiment of this application, the anti-loosening device 5 includes an anti-loosening nut.

[0060] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the cycling trainer swing frame also includes at least one rib 6, which is disposed on the inner wall of the foot support mounting hole 3 and is used to abut against the foot support 100.

[0061] Specifically, the rib 6 protrudes from the inner wall of the foot support mounting hole 3 and is used to abut against the foot support 100, increasing the contact pressure and frictional resistance of the foot support 100 in the foot support mounting hole 3. Especially when subjected to cycling swing, vibration or impact, the frictional resistance can significantly reduce the relative displacement of the foot tube in the hole, effectively preventing the foot support 100 from shaking, sliding or rotating.

[0062] In one embodiment of this application, there are multiple ribs 6, and every two ribs 6 form a rib unit; the two ribs 6 in the rib unit are arranged symmetrically with the extension line of the locking member 2 as the center.

[0063] Specifically, the ribs 6 are arranged in pairs to form rib units, and the two ribs 6 in the rib unit are symmetrically arranged with the extension line of the locking member 2 as the center. This avoids the footrest 100 being misaligned when inserted into the footrest mounting hole 3 due to the unilateral arrangement of the ribs 6, which would cause the footrest 100 to be stuck or require manual adjustment. The symmetrical arrangement of the two pairs of ribs 6 forms a guiding structure, which automatically centers and aligns the footrest 100, enabling quick positioning and smooth insertion. At the same time, the symmetrical arrangement of the two ribs 6 in the rib unit allows the friction force generated by the ribs 6 on the footrest 100 to be evenly applied around the footrest 100, and the clamping force in all directions is balanced, preventing one side from being tight and the other loose. Especially in equipment such as a cycling trainer that is subject to vibration and shaking, symmetrical force can prevent the foot tube from shaking or shifting, ensuring riding stability.

[0064] Rib 6 is parallel to the central axis of foot support 100, making it function as a "guide rail" structure. When foot support 100 is inserted into foot support mounting hole 3, it slides along rib 6, resulting in stable and continuous frictional resistance. This avoids jamming, scraping, or uneven insertion that would occur if rib 6 were extended in other directions. Simultaneously, the parallelism of rib 6 to the central axis of foot support 100 creates a "long surface" contact between rib 6 and foot support 100, increasing the effective friction area and preventing axial sliding of foot support 100.

[0065] like Figure 6 As shown, this application also provides a cycling trainer, which includes the cycling trainer swing frame as described above.

[0066] In summary, this application provides a cycling trainer swing frame and a cycling trainer. The cycling trainer swing frame includes: a swing frame body; a footrest mounting hole on the swing frame body; a locking member, one end of which is located outside the swing frame body, and the other end is inserted into the footrest mounting hole, and is used to cooperate with the inner wall of the footrest mounting hole to clamp the footrest; the locking member can move relative to the swing frame body to adjust its insertion depth into the footrest mounting hole. This application, by providing a locking member on the swing frame body and adjusting its movement to adjust the insertion depth of the locking member into the footrest mounting hole, adjusts the size of the space within the footrest mounting hole where the footrest can be inserted. Furthermore, by adjusting the locking member, it can cooperate with the inner wall of the footrest mounting hole to clamp the footrest, achieving compatibility of the footrest mounting hole with footrests of different diameters, thus improving the adaptability of the swing frame body to footrests of different diameters. If the user changes the cycling trainer model, the swing frame body can still be universally compatible without needing to customize or replace the swing frame body, which not only reduces the user's economic costs but also improves the product's versatility and market compatibility.

[0067] It should be understood that the application of this application is not limited to the examples above. Those skilled in the art can make improvements or modifications based on the above description, and all such improvements and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims.
