Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of gear chain technology, specifically a lightweight bicycle gear chain that can be rapidly prototyping. Background Technology

[0002] The bicycle chainring, also known as the crankset, is the part that connects the bottom bracket and crank of a bicycle. It is the most visible part of the chainring and is usually composed of multiple teeth. The shape, size, and spacing of these teeth are carefully designed. Different types of bicycles have different chainring tooth shapes. Road bike chainring teeth are sharper, which is conducive to a tight bite with the chain at high speeds and efficient power transmission. Mountain bike chainring teeth are thicker to cope with the high torque requirements of complex terrain. Chainring materials also vary, with aluminum alloy and carbon fiber being common. Current bicycle chainrings have long production cycles and low production speeds. Therefore, we propose a lightweight bicycle chainring that can be rapidly prototyped. Utility Model Content
