Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bicycle accessories technology, specifically an improved bicycle saddle. Background Technology
[0002] A bicycle, also known as a pedal bike or bicycle, is a small, two-wheeled road vehicle. When a person gets on the bike, they use their feet to pedal for power. It is a green and environmentally friendly means of transportation. The bicycle saddle is one of the important accessories of a bicycle. It is installed on the seat post and is an important component used to provide support for the sitting posture.
[0003] Chinese patent discloses an improved bicycle saddle structure (authorization announcement number CN215245236U), which solves the safety hazards of existing saddles. This improved bicycle saddle structure includes a saddle body made of plastic or resin material. An integrally formed, roughly V-shaped support body is formed inside the saddle body, with shock-absorbing spaces between both ends of the support body and the saddle body. Each shock-absorbing space contains a solid, cylindrical rubber body, with its two end faces pressing against the inner wall of the saddle body and the ends of the support body, respectively. A limiting structure is provided between the rubber body and the saddle body to restrict the radial movement of the rubber body. This improved bicycle saddle structure is safe.
[0004] However, most existing bicycle saddles use rubber bodies for shock absorption, which reduces user comfort due to their poor shock absorption. For example, the aforementioned prior art uses rubber bodies for shock absorption, but in practical applications, this method is ineffective and can easily affect user comfort on bumpy roads. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided an improved bicycle saddle structure to address the problems mentioned in the background section. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an improved bicycle saddle structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] An improved bicycle saddle includes a saddle body. Shock bars are symmetrically arranged on the lower surface of the saddle body. A support rod is connected to the lower end of each shock bar. Reinforcing rods are fixed to the two inner ends of each support rod. A spring is sleeved around the outside of each shock bar. A breathable base plate is arranged inside the saddle body. A breathable sponge pad is arranged on the outer side of the breathable base plate. A waterproof and breathable membrane is also arranged on the outer side of the breathable sponge pad. From left to right, a breathable inner layer and a breathable outer layer are respectively arranged on the outer side of the breathable base plate.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model: the breathable outer layer and the breathable inner layer have the same thickness, and breathable micropores are provided on the outside of both the breathable outer layer and the breathable inner layer.
[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, the waterproof and breathable membrane is made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: one end of the buffer rod is fixed to the inner surface of the saddle body, and the other end of the buffer rod is movable inside the support rod.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: one end of the spring is fixed to the inner surface of the saddle body, and the other end of the spring is fixed to the outer surface of the support rod.
[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model: three buffer rods are symmetrically arranged on the inner surface of the saddle body, and the three buffer rods are arranged in a triangle on the inner surface of the saddle body.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. This utility model uses a support rod, a spring, a reinforcing rod, and a buffer rod. The spring allows one end of the buffer rod to slide inside the support rod, and the spring sleeved on the outside of the buffer rod is compressed and deformed, thereby improving the user's comfort. The structure is simple and practical.
[0015] 2. This utility model, through the setting of a breathable outer layer, a breathable inner layer, and a waterproof and breathable membrane, can improve the breathability of the saddle body by using the breathable outer layer and the breathable inner layer, thereby improving the comfort during use, and the waterproof and breathable membrane can prevent external water from entering the interior of the saddle body and affecting the normal use of the breathable sponge pad.

[0028] Example 1:
[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, this embodiment proposes an improved bicycle saddle structure, including a saddle body 1. Shock bars 33 are symmetrically arranged on the lower surface of the saddle body 1. A support rod 3 is connected to the lower end of the shock bars 33. Reinforcing rods 32 are fixed to the two inner ends of the support rod 3. A spring 31 is sleeved on the outside of the shock bars 33. A breathable base plate 11 is arranged inside the saddle body 1. A breathable sponge pad 12 is arranged on the outside of the breathable base plate 11. A waterproof and breathable membrane 15 is also arranged on the outside of the breathable sponge pad 12. A breathable inner layer 14 and a breathable outer layer 13 are arranged on the outside of the breathable base plate 11 from left to right. This arrangement utilizes the spring 31 outside the shock bars 33 to cushion bumpy roads, improving user comfort. The breathable outer layer 13 and the breathable inner layer 14 achieve efficient ventilation, while the waterproof and breathable membrane 15 effectively prevents water penetration.
[0030] Example 2:
[0031] The solution in Example 1 will be further described below with reference to its specific working method.
[0032] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the breathable outer layer 13 and the breathable inner layer 14 have the same thickness, and breathable micropores 2 are provided on the outside of both the breathable outer layer 13 and the breathable inner layer 14. This arrangement can improve breathability by providing breathable micropores 2 on the outside of the breathable outer layer 13 and the breathable inner layer 14, thereby improving the user's comfort.
[0033] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the waterproof and breathable membrane 15 is further made of polytetrafluoroethylene. This arrangement utilizes the waterproof and breathable membrane 15 to achieve the purpose of breathability and water resistance, preventing external water from entering the breathable sponge pad 12 and affecting its use.
[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, one end of the buffer rod 33 is fixed to the inner surface of the saddle body 1, and the other end of the buffer rod 33 is movable inside the support rod 3. Three buffer rods 33 are symmetrically arranged on the inner surface of the saddle body 1, and the three buffer rods 33 are arranged in a triangle on the inner surface of the saddle body 1. One end of the spring 31 is fixed to the inner surface of the saddle body 1, and the other end of the spring 31 is fixed to the outer surface of the support rod 3. This arrangement utilizes the fact that one end of the buffer rod 33 can move inside the support rod 3, that is, one end of the buffer rod 33 can pass through the support rod 3 or slide inside the support rod 3. In this way, when the buffer rod 33 moves, the spring 31 can be compressed and deformed, thereby achieving the purpose of shock absorption and cushioning, so as to improve the comfort of the user.
[0035] Example 3:
[0036] The solutions in Embodiments 1 and 2 will be further described below with reference to their specific working methods.
[0037] Specifically, in operation / use, the improved bicycle saddle structure features the following: First, three buffer bars 33 are symmetrically arranged on the inner surface of the saddle body 1. The lower ends of these three buffer bars 33 are located inside the support rod 3 and can slide. At the same time, springs 31 are sleeved on the outside of the buffer bars 33. Thus, when the user sits on the saddle body 1, the springs 31 will buffer and absorb shock, improving the user's comfort. Furthermore, the combination of a breathable outer layer 13, a breathable inner layer 14, and a waterproof and breathable membrane 15 improves the breathability of the saddle body 1, enhancing comfort during use. The waterproof and breathable membrane 15 prevents external water from entering the saddle body 1 and affecting the normal use of the breathable sponge pad 12.
