[0034] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0035] Referring to Figures 1-3, one embodiment of this utility model is provided: an adjustable pedal transmission mechanism for an electric bicycle, including a first chain link 1, a connecting rod 4 rotatably connected inside the first chain link 1, and a second chain link 2 sleeved on the outer surface of the connecting rod 4. The connecting rod 4 ensures a stable connection between the first chain link 1 and the second chain link 2. A connecting member 3 is sleeved on the side wall of the second chain link 2 on the outer surface of the connecting rod 4. Both the second chain link 2 and the connecting member 3 have connecting holes that are adapted to the size of the connecting rod 4. The connecting holes allow the connecting rod 4 to pass through the second chain link 2 and the connecting member 3, thus satisfying the connection between the second chain link 2, the connecting member 3, and the first chain link 1.

[0036] Furthermore, a fixing frame 7 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the connecting rod 4. A connecting groove adapted to the size of the fixing frame 7 is opened at the top of the connecting hole. The setting of the connecting groove allows the connecting rod 4 to pass through the connecting hole and drive the fixing frame 7 to pass through the second link 2 and the connector 3. At the same time, the fixing frame 7 is limited to the side wall of the connector 3 to ensure a stable connection between the first link 1, the second link 2 and the connector 3. A buffer component 6 is provided inside the first link 1, and a disassembly mechanism 5 is provided inside the fixing frame 7.

[0037] Referring to Figures 2-3, the disassembly mechanism 5 includes a push plate 51, which is slidably connected inside the fixed frame 7. A movable block is provided on the side wall of the push plate 51. The movable block passes through and is slidably connected to the side wall of the fixed frame 7. Pushing the movable block to slide inside the fixed frame 7 causes the push plate 51 to slide inside the fixed frame 7. The side wall of the push plate 51 is elastically connected to the inner side wall of the fixed frame 7 through a positioning spring 53. Pushing the push plate 51 compresses the positioning spring 53, causing the positioning spring 53 to deform. When resetting, the rebound of the positioning spring 53 causes the push plate 51 to slide and reset.

[0038] Furthermore, a disassembly block 52 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the push plate 51. The disassembly block 52 passes through and is slidably connected to the side wall of the fixed frame 7. By pushing the push plate 51, the disassembly block 52 is driven to slide inside the fixed frame 7. The side wall of the connector 3 is provided with a disassembly hole, and the disassembly block 52 is inserted into the disassembly hole. The disassembly hole is provided to ensure a stable connection between the disassembly block 52 and the connector 3, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the connecting rod 4 and the connector 3.

[0039] Referring to Figures 2-4, the buffer assembly 6 includes a limiting rod 64, which is fixedly connected inside the first link 1. A buffer groove is provided inside the first link 1, and the limiting rod 64 is fixedly connected inside the buffer groove. The buffer groove ensures that the limiting rod 64 is stably connected inside the first link 1. A buffer block 63 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the limiting rod 64, and a buffer rod 62 is hinged to the side wall of the buffer block 63. Both the buffer rod 62 and the buffer block 63 are slidably connected inside the buffer groove. During the sliding of the buffer block 63 on the outer surface of the limiting rod 64, the buffer rod 62 is driven to slide stably inside the buffer groove.

[0040] Furthermore, a protective plate 61 is hinged to the end of the buffer rod 62. The protective plate 61 is arc-shaped, and its inner sidewall is in contact with the outer surface of the connecting rod 4. The arc-shaped protective plate 61 contacts the outer surface of the connecting rod 4, thus providing a protective and buffering effect for the connecting rod 4. The sidewall of the buffer block 63 is elastically connected to the inner sidewall of the first link 1 through a buffer spring 65. During the sliding process of the buffer block 63 on the outer surface of the limiting rod 64, it compresses the buffer spring 65, causing the buffer spring 65 to deform. When resetting, the rebound of the buffer spring 65 drives the buffer block 63 to slide and reset.

[0041] Working principle: In use, when the first link 1 and the second link 2 become worn and loose, requiring the removal of excess first link 1 and second link 2 to tighten the chain, the push plate 51 is pushed to compress the positioning spring 53, which in turn drives the disassembly block 52 into the fixed frame 7. Then, the connecting rod 4 is rotated to make the fixed frame 7 rotate to the position of the limit groove, and the connecting piece 3 is pulled out from the inside of the connecting rod 4. Then, the second link 2 is slid out from the outer surface of the connecting rod 4, which satisfies the disassembly between the second link 2 and the connecting piece 3, improving the efficiency of chain disassembly and maintenance.

[0042] When the first link 1 and the second link 2 vibrate during use, the vibration of the first link 1 and the second link 2 pulls the connecting rod 4. When the connecting rod 4 is pulled, it squeezes the protective plate 61. After the protective plate 61 is pushed, it drives the buffer rod 62 to move. The moving buffer rod 62 drives the buffer block 63 to slide on the outer surface of the limiting rod 64. During the sliding process, the buffer block 63 squeezes the buffer spring 65. After being squeezed, the buffer spring 65 deforms and plays a buffering role on the moving buffer block 63, thereby improving the safety of the connecting rod 4 during use and improving the stability of the connection between the first link 1 and the second link 2.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
