[0038] In recent years, with the increasing health awareness and the popularization of cycling, cycling trainers, as indoor cycling training equipment, have become increasingly popular among cycling enthusiasts. During cycling, the rider's posture and the coordination of body parts are crucial to the rider's comfort and performance. However, traditional cycling trainers often employ standardized designs that do not fully consider ergonomic principles, making it difficult to meet the individual needs of different users. For example, taller cyclists may feel uncomfortable due to insufficient seat height, while shorter cyclists may not be able to reach the optimal pedal position, leading to fatigue, discomfort, or even injury during long rides.

[0039] In view of this, the present invention provides an adjustable riding device 100. Figure 1 and Figure 2 An embodiment of the adjustable cycling device 100 provided by this utility model.

[0040] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The adjustable cycling device 100 includes a cycling platform 1, an adjustment component 2, a control panel, and a VR device. The cycling platform 1 includes a base 11 and a vehicle body 12. The base 11 extends along a first direction, and the vehicle body 12 is mounted on the base 11 and includes handlebars 121, a saddle 122, wheel assemblies 123, and pedals 124. The handlebars 121 and the saddle 122 are movable relative to the base 11. The adjustment component 2 is drivenly connected to the handlebars 121 and the saddle 122 to drive the handlebars 121 and / or the saddle 122 to move relative to the base 11 in the vertical direction and / or the first direction. The control panel is electrically connected to the adjustment component 2 to control the working state of the adjustment component 2. The VR device is used to output and display a virtual cycling simulation scene to the cyclist.

[0041] In this invention, the handlebars 121 and the saddle 122 are movable relative to the base 11 in the vertical direction and / or the first direction via the adjustment component 2. This allows for adjustment of the height of the handlebars 121 and the saddle 122, as well as the distance between them, ensuring that riders of different heights and body types can find a suitable riding posture, reducing sports injuries and improving the effectiveness of cycling training. Simultaneously, the control panel allows for convenient and rapid real-time adjustments by the rider. Furthermore, combined with the VR device, it simulates realistic cycling scenarios and routes, helping riders experience the feeling of outdoor cycling even indoors, increasing the fun and motivation of training.

[0042] It should be noted that the handlebars 121 and the saddle 122 can move relative to the base 11 in the vertical direction and / or the first direction, respectively, via the adjustment component 2. This means that the handlebars 121 can move relative to the base 11 only in the vertical direction, or only in the first direction, or simultaneously in both the vertical and the first direction, and the saddle 122 can move relative to the base 11 only in the vertical direction, or only in the first direction, or simultaneously in both the vertical and the first direction, via the adjustment component 2.

[0043] Further, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The adjustable riding device 100 also includes a damping device 3, which is connected to the rear wheel of the wheel assembly 123; the control panel is electrically connected to the damping device 3 to control the working state of the damping device 3; thus, the damping can be adjusted under changing riding conditions to provide the rider with a stable riding experience.

[0044] Furthermore, in one embodiment of this utility model, the damping device 3 is a magnetic powder brake, which utilizes electromagnetic principles and magnetic powder to transmit torque. It can transmit a certain torque regardless of slip. Simultaneously, it has advantages such as fast response speed, simple structure, no pollution, no noise, no impact vibration, and energy saving.

[0045] For details, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The adjustment assembly 2 includes a first handlebar adjustment assembly 21, which includes a lead screw 211 and a first drive motor 212. The lead screw 211 is mounted on the base 11, with its screw extending along the first direction and its nut connected to the handlebar 121. The first drive motor 212 is driven by the screw of the lead screw 211 to drive the screw to rotate, thereby causing the nut to move the handlebar 121 along the first direction. The control panel is electrically connected to the first drive motor 212 to control the working state of the first drive motor 212. Thus, the movement of the handlebar 121 in the first direction is achieved through the lead screw 211, thereby adjusting the distance between the handlebar 121 and the saddle 122 to meet the riding needs of riders with different body sizes.

[0046] It should be noted that in this utility model, the lead screw 211 can be a ball screw 211 or a roller screw 211.

[0047] Further, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The nut of the lead screw 211 is connected to the handlebar 121 via a connecting plate 213. A sliding structure 214 is provided between the connecting plate 213 and the base 11. The sliding structure 214 includes a slider 2141 and a slide rail 2142 that are adapted to be slidably connected. One of the slider 2141 and the slide rail 2142 is located on the connecting plate 213, and the other of the slider 2141 and the slide rail 2142 is located on the base 11. In this way, the sliding direction of the handlebar 121 is defined by the sliding structure 214.

[0048] Further, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment of the present invention, the slider 2141 is disposed on the connecting plate 213, and the slide rail 2142 is disposed on the base 11.

[0049] It should be noted that if the midpoint of the slide rail 2142 is designed as the location of the handlebar 121, the total length of the screw in the lead screw 211 is set to 500mm, and the length of the slide rail 2142 is set to 400mm. Under the condition that the saddle 122 is fixed, the distance between the handlebar 121 and the saddle 122 can be adjusted from 379 to 779mm. This range conforms to ergonomic design and can be matched with riders of different physiological sizes.

[0050] For details, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The adjustment assembly 2 includes a second handlebar adjustment assembly 22, which includes a first push rod motor 221. The push rod of the first push rod motor 221 extends along the vertical direction and is drivenly connected to the handlebar 121 to drive the handlebar 121 to move relative to the base 11 in the vertical direction. The control panel is electrically connected to the first push rod motor 221 to control the working state of the first push rod motor 221.

[0051] The use of linear actuators enables precise linear motion with high positioning accuracy and repeatability. Compared with traditional rotor motors, linear actuators can convert electrical energy into mechanical energy more directly, thus having higher energy conversion efficiency. At the same time, linear actuators have a relatively simple structure and occupy less space, making them suitable for applications with limited space. Furthermore, due to the linear motion of linear actuators, their response speed is usually faster than that of rotor motors, making them suitable for applications requiring rapid response.

[0052] Further, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2Based on the embodiment described above, "the nut of the lead screw 211 is connected to the handlebar 121 through the connecting plate 213; a sliding structure 214 is provided between the connecting plate 213 and the base 11, the sliding structure 214 includes a slider 2141 and a slide rail 2142 that are adapted to be slidably connected, one of the slider 2141 and the slide rail 2142 is provided on the connecting plate 213, and the other of the slider 2141 and the slide rail 2142 is provided on the base 11", the first push rod motor 221 is provided on the connecting plate 213.

[0053] For details, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The adjustment assembly 2 includes a first saddle adjustment assembly 23, which includes a second push rod motor 231. The angle between the push rod of the second push rod motor 231 and the base 11 is greater than or equal to 68° and less than or equal to 73°.

[0054] More specifically, in one embodiment of this utility model, the angle between the push rod of the second push rod motor 231 and the base 11 is 73°, which conforms to ergonomic design and can meet the riding needs of most cyclists.

[0055] For details, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The adjustment assembly 2 includes a second saddle adjustment assembly 24, which includes a mounting base 241, a connecting block 242, and a fastener 243. One of the mounting base 241 and the connecting block 242 is connected to the base 11, and the other is connected to the saddle 122. The mounting base 241 has a movable groove extending along the first direction. The connecting block 242 is disposed within the movable groove and can slide relative to the mounting base 241 along the first direction. The fastener 243 is threadedly connected to the first sidewall of the movable groove in the second direction and can move closer to or further away from the second sidewall of the mounting base 241 in the second direction. When the connecting block 242 slides to a preset position, the fastener 243 moves closer to the second sidewall until it clamps and fixes the connecting block 242 to the second sidewall. The first direction, the second direction, and the vertical direction are mutually perpendicular in a plane. This allows for fine-tuning and fixing of the saddle 122 in the first direction, meeting more riding needs of the rider, and is simple to operate.

[0056] It should be noted that the fastener 243 is screwed into the movable groove, that is, close to the second side wall, and the fastener 243 is screwed out of the movable groove, that is, away from the second side wall.
