[0001] This application belongs to the field of bicycle saddle technology, and particularly relates to a bicycle saddle that is easy to replace. Background Technology

[0002] A bicycle, also called a pedal bike, is a human-powered mode of transportation consisting of two wheels connected together. Bicycles are equipped with a seat, allowing riders to sit comfortably and ride with their buttocks fully in contact with the seat.

[0003] Currently, bicycles are often used as fitness and recreational tools, and different saddles have been developed to meet different needs, including racing and leisure types. Users can choose from a variety of saddles according to their needs. However, it is inconvenient when users need to change saddles, so improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to address the aforementioned technical problems by providing a bicycle saddle that is easy to replace, enabling convenient replacement of different saddle models.

[0005] This application provides an easily replaceable bicycle saddle, comprising:

[0006] The base assembly includes a base plate and a seat arch, wherein the seat arch is fixedly connected to the underside of the base plate;

[0007] A seat cushion assembly includes a middle plate and a padding layer, wherein the middle plate and the padding layer are fixedly connected.

[0008] The base plate has a plug-in part at its front end, the middle plate has a plug-in groove that corresponds to and matches the plug-in part, the base plate has a groove, and the middle plate has a boss that corresponds to and matches the groove.

[0009] The base plate is welded, bonded, or integrally injection molded with the seat arch. The base assembly is mounted on the frame. The seat assembly and base assembly are easily replaceable. The seat assembly can be available in various models to meet different needs. The middle plate and padding of the seat assembly are bonded, welded, or sewn together. The base assembly and seat assembly are connected by interlocking parts and interlocking slots, and by grooves and bosses. When the rear end of the seat assembly is subjected to a force away from the base assembly, the rear end of the seat assembly and the rear end of the base assembly are separated. Then, the seat assembly is pushed to the front end, realizing the complete separation of the base assembly and the seat assembly, improving the ease of disassembly and assembly between the base assembly and the seat assembly.

[0010] The padding layer is composed of filling materials such as polyurethane foam, silicone, or springs, and surface materials such as cloth, leather, carbon fiber, or genuine leather. The base plate, middle plate, and seat arch are made of materials with high mechanical properties such as metal, carbon fiber, and plastic.

[0011] Furthermore, the width of the groove gradually increases from the end near the front end of the base plate towards the rear end of the base plate.

[0012] Bicycle saddles need to be ergonomic and generally adopt a structure that is smaller at the front and larger at the back. Therefore, the width of the groove gradually widens from the end near the front of the base plate towards the rear of the base plate. This ensures the structural strength of the base plate and facilitates the fit between the boss and the groove. The width of the boss changes in the same way as the width of the groove.

[0013] Furthermore, the groove includes:

[0014] The reinforced structure is positioned near the rear end of the base plate and divides the groove into two parts, with the boss corresponding to the groove being divided into two parts.

[0015] The structural strength of the groove is improved by strengthening the structure, and the integral connection between the structure and the base plate is strengthened.

[0016] Furthermore, it also includes:

[0020] Furthermore, it also includes:

[0021] The second threaded seat is located near the rear end of the base plate.

[0022] The second threaded seat is fixedly connected to the base plate by bonding, welding, or snap-fitting. The second threaded seat facilitates the installation of riding accessories such as tail bags, water bottles, and taillights on the underside of the base plate.

[0023] Furthermore, it also includes:

[0024] The first through hole is placed on the base plate;

[0025] The second through hole is placed on the middle plate;

[0026] The third through hole is placed on the padding layer;

[0027] The first through hole, the second through hole, and the third through hole are all corresponding.

[0028] When the base assembly and the seat assembly are combined, the first through hole, the second through hole, and the third through hole correspond to each other, which can increase the overall breathability and ventilation performance of the bicycle seat.

[0029] Furthermore, the base plate includes:

[0030] Connecting part, connected to the seat bow.

[0031] The connecting part and the base are integrally formed and connected. The connecting part facilitates the connection with the seat bow. One end of the seat bow is connected and fixed to the insertion part by abutting, welding or snapping, and the other end of the seat bow is connected and fixed to the connecting part by abutting, welding or snapping.

[0032] The beneficial effects of this application are:

[0033] 1. When the base assembly and the seat cushion assembly are engaged, the insertion part and the insertion slot are engaged, and the groove and the boss are engaged.

[0034] 2. The groove design features a width variation and a reinforcing structure, making it easy to assemble and disassemble the base assembly and seat cushion assembly.

[0035] 3. The base plate and the middle plate are further locked and fixed by fasteners in conjunction with the first threaded seat, which further improves the connection stability between the base assembly and the seat assembly. Attached Figure Description
