Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bicycle parts technology, specifically a support mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] A bicycle is a two-wheeled land transportation vehicle powered by human pedals, serving multiple functions including commuting, transportation, and exercise. Its core features include noiselessness, zero pollution, lightweight construction, and ease of operation, making it suitable for daily commutes and physical activity. The support mechanism is an essential component that allows a bicycle to stand independently without tipping over, playing a crucial role in supporting the bicycle.

[0003] However, in the current technology, the kickstand is a separate component, which is not simple enough, increases the weight of the entire bicycle, and is not conducive to folding and lightweighting; moreover, it is prohibited from use on racing road bicycles. Therefore, further improvements are needed.

[0004] Therefore, based on the aforementioned technical problems, it is necessary for those skilled in the art to develop a support mechanism. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a support mechanism to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A support mechanism technical solution includes a connector and a support assembly. The support assembly is hinged to the connector. When the support assembly and the connector are horizontally arranged, the support assembly has a foot pedal function. When the support assembly and the connector are vertically arranged, the support assembly has a support function.

[0008] A limiting component is disposed on the support component, and the limiting component is used to fix the connector and the support component in a horizontal state.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, the connector is a connecting post.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the support component includes a connecting cylinder, on which two trapezoidal blocks are integrally formed and symmetrically installed, and reinforcing members are integrally formed and installed on the outer sides of both trapezoidal blocks.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution, multiple through holes 1 are provided on both trapezoidal blocks, and through holes 2 are provided on one side of both trapezoidal blocks. A through hole 3 connected to the through holes 2 is provided on the reinforcing force.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution, the reinforced top and bottom surfaces are integrally formed and equipped with multiple anti-slip blocks.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution, a folding shaft is provided inside the connecting cylinder, and one end of the folding shaft extends out of the connecting cylinder and is rotatably connected to the connecting member.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution, the other end of the folding shaft is threaded with a locking nut, and a dust cover is provided inside the connecting cylinder.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution, the limiting component includes a folding sleeve, which is slidably connected to the connecting cylinder. A spring is provided on the inner wall of the folding sleeve, and the other end of the spring is fixed to the connecting cylinder. The folding shaft is inserted into the spring.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] (1) This utility model is a support mechanism, which includes a support component and a connector. When the support component and the connector are set horizontally, the support component has the function of a foot pedal. When the support component and the connector are set vertically, the support component has the function of support. This eliminates the need for an independent foot support, which reduces the weight and makes the structure of the bicycle simpler and easier to fold. The folding bicycle looks simple and elegant.

[0018] (2) This utility model is a support mechanism that enables bicycles to be parked normally and the pedals to function in multiple ways.

[0019] (3) This utility model is a support mechanism. When the support component is used as a foot support, the user does not need to manually change the support component from the vertical direction to the horizontal direction. The user only needs to kick the support component, and the support component will automatically become horizontal, which is convenient for the user to operate. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of this utility model will now be described in detail. To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, will provide a further detailed description. For those skilled in the art, this utility model can be implemented without some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is merely intended to provide a better understanding of this utility model by illustrating examples.

[0024] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this utility model provides a support mechanism technical solution: including a connector 1, which is installed on the bicycle. In this embodiment, the connector 1 is a connecting column, which is cylindrical in shape. A support component is hinged to one end of the connector 1. When the support component is horizontally arranged with the connector 1, the support component functions as a pedal. When the support component is vertically arranged with the connector 1, the support component functions as a support. This eliminates the need for an independent kickstand, reducing weight and simplifying the bicycle's structure, making it easier to fold. The folding bicycle looks simple and elegant.

[0025] In this embodiment, the support component includes a connecting cylinder 2, which is a hollow cylinder. Two trapezoidal blocks 3 are integrally formed and symmetrically installed on the periphery of the connecting cylinder 2. Reinforcing bars 4 are integrally formed and installed on the outer side of each trapezoidal block 3. The reinforcing bars 4 increase the load-bearing capacity of the entire support component. When the support component has a foot pedal function, the user's feet are placed on the two trapezoidal blocks 3, which is more labor-saving. When the support component has a support function, the two trapezoidal blocks 3 and the outer side of the connecting cylinder 2 are in contact with the ground.

[0026] In this embodiment, in order to reduce the weight of the entire support assembly, multiple through holes 5 are provided on both trapezoidal blocks 3, through holes 6 are provided on one side of both trapezoidal blocks 3, and through holes 8 are provided on the reinforcing 4.

[0027] In this embodiment, multiple anti-slip blocks 9 are integrally formed and installed on the top surface of the reinforcing force 4 and the ground. When the reinforcing force 4 comes into contact with the ground, the multiple anti-slip blocks 9 increase the friction between the user's foot and the reinforcing force 4, reducing the chance of the user slipping while riding a bicycle.

[0028] In this embodiment, a folding shaft 11 is provided inside the connecting cylinder 2. One end of the folding shaft 11 extends out of the connecting cylinder 2 and is rotatably connected to the connecting piece 1. A locking nut 12 is threadedly connected to the other end of the folding shaft 11. A dust cover 13 is provided inside the connecting cylinder 2 to reduce dust from entering the connecting cylinder 2.

[0029] In this embodiment, a limiting component is provided on the connecting cylinder 2. The limiting component includes a folding sleeve 14, which is slidably connected to the connecting cylinder 2. A spring 15 is provided on the inner wall of the folding sleeve 14. The other end of the spring 15 is fixed to the connecting sleeve. The folding shaft 11 is inserted into the spring 15. When the folding sleeve 14 is moved to the outside of the connecting cylinder 2, the folding sleeve 14 compresses the spring 15, exposing the rotational connection between the connecting piece 1 and the folding shaft 11. Then, the folding shaft 11 is rotated to bring the support component into contact with the ground, and the support component plays a supporting role.

[0030] When riding is required, the support component and the connector 1 are in a straight line. Under the pressure of the spring 15, the folding sleeve 14 moves towards the connector 1, and the support component and the connector 1 are put into the folding sleeve 14 together. Under the pressure of the spring 15, the support component and the connector 1 and other components are tightly fixed together.
