AI Technical Summary
The existing bicycle crank is difficult to disassemble, especially when the bolts are tight, requiring a large torque to disassemble.
A bicycle crank disassembly tool was designed, including a force-applying component, a support component, and an action component. The force-applying component limits the crank arm, the relative movement between the support component and the force-applying component causes the bolt to rotate relative to the crank arm, and the action component pushes the support component and the force-applying component to move relative to each other, thus realizing convenient bolt disassembly.
This design ensures that the crank arm does not rotate with the bolts during disassembly, simplifying the disassembly process and avoiding disassembly difficulties caused by bolt tightening.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of bicycle disassembly tools, and more specifically, to a bicycle crank disassembly tool. Background Technology
[0002] A bicycle, also known as a cyclist, has a crank as a crucial component, primarily responsible for transmitting power. It typically includes a sprocket, a crank arm fixed to the sprocket, and pedals mounted on the crank arm. When we pedal, the crank arm drives the sprocket and chain, causing the wheel to rotate and propelling the bicycle forward. However, the crank arm on most bicycles is usually fixed in place with bolts. When disassembly is needed, the crank arm must be restrained to prevent the crank from rotating with the bolts. This makes disassembly difficult, requiring the operator to stabilize the crank arm with one hand while removing it with the other. Furthermore, when the bolts are tight, a significant torque is required to remove them.
[0003] Therefore, a bicycle crank removal tool is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The summary section of this application is intended to provide a brief overview of the concepts, which will be described in detail in the detailed description section below. This summary section is not intended to identify key or essential features of the claimed technical solutions, nor is it intended to limit the scope of the claimed technical solutions.
[0005] To address the technical problems mentioned in the background section, some embodiments of this application provide a bicycle crank disassembly tool, comprising: a force-applying component connected to the crank arm and limiting the crank arm; a support assembly disposed on the force-applying component, on which a bolt wrench for tightening a bolt is detachably mounted, such that the bolt and the crank arm rotate relative to each other through relative movement between the support assembly and the force-applying component; and an actuating component disposed on the force-applying component, which pushes the support assembly and the force-applying component to move relative to each other.
[0006] Furthermore, the force-applying component includes: a hook-shaped part hooked onto the crank arm, the hook-shaped part being a ring structure with a notch; a rod part, the hook-shaped part being fixedly disposed at one end of the rod part, a support assembly being disposed on the rod part, the portion of the support assembly on the rod part moving along the length direction of the rod part; and a lead screw section disposed on the rod part.
[0007] Furthermore, the support assembly includes: a mounting part on which a bolt wrench is mounted; a connecting part fixed to the mounting part; and a rotating member rotatably mounted on the connecting part, with a rod passing through the rotating member so that the rotating member can move along the length of the rod.
[0008] Furthermore, the functional component includes: a rotating member, sleeved on the rod, located on the side of the rotating member away from the hook-shaped part, the rotating member having a threaded hole that mates with the thread of the lead screw section; a contact member, sleeved on the rod and sliding, located on the side of the rotating member close to the rotating member, one end of the contact member abutting against the connecting part; and a spacer member, sleeved on the rod and located between the rotating member and the contact member.
[0009] Furthermore, the connecting part is provided with a mounting hole for mounting a rotating component. The rotating component passes through the mounting hole. One end of the rotating component is fixedly provided with a side stop that abuts against the surface of the connecting part. The side stop limits the rotation of the rotating component. The other end of the rotating component is provided with a mounting stop that abuts against the surface of the connecting part to limit the rotation of the rotating component.
[0010] Furthermore, one end of the rotating component is provided with a mounting screw hole, and a mounting stud is fixed on the mounting flange. The mounting stud is screwed into the mounting screw hole and threadedly connected to the mounting screw hole.
[0011] Furthermore, the rotating component is provided with two anti-slip protrusions, and the anti-slip protrusions are provided with anti-slip textures.
[0012] Furthermore, the two end faces of the spacer that contact the contact member and the rotating member have contact portions.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows:
[0014] 1. By setting the force-applying component, the crank arm is limited so that it will not rotate with the bolt when the bolt is removed, making disassembly convenient.
[0015] 2. By using the support components, when the force-applying component moves relative to the support components, the bolt can also rotate relative to the crank arm, thereby disassembling the bolt.
[0016] 3. By using the designed function components, when the rotating part is rotated, it can push the support component and the force-applying component to move relative to each other, thus avoiding the difficulty of disassembly caused by tight bolts. Attached Figure Description

[0034] Reference Figure 1-7 A bicycle crank removal tool includes: a force-applying component 10, a support assembly 11, a bolt wrench 26, an actuating component 12, a hook-shaped portion 13, a rod portion 14, and a lead screw section 15. The force-applying component 10 includes the hook-shaped portion 13 and the rod portion 14. The hook-shaped portion 13 is a ring-shaped structure with a notch, capable of hooking onto the mounting shaft of the pedal component on the crank arm. The notch in the hook-shaped portion 13 allows the mounting shaft of the pedal component to pass through. The crank arm and pedal component can refer to existing products, with the pedal component rotatably mounted on one end of the crank arm via the mounting shaft. In one embodiment, the rod portion 14 and the hook-shaped portion 13 are integrally formed, and the hook-shaped portion 13 is formed by bending. In another embodiment, the rod portion 14 can also be detachably connected to the hook-shaped portion 13, such as through a threaded connection, allowing for the replacement of hook-shaped portions 13 of different sizes. The rod portion 14 has a lead screw section 15.
[0035] The support assembly 11 includes a mounting portion 16, a connecting portion 17, and a rotating member 18. Different types of bolt wrenches 26 are detachably mounted on the mounting portion 16, each wrench matching a bolt type. In one embodiment, the mounting portion 16 has a hole for inserting the bolt wrench 26. The connecting portion 17 is fixed to one end of the mounting portion 16 and has a mounting hole 22. The rotating member 18 is installed in the mounting hole 22 and can rotate around its own axis. The rod portion 14 passes through the rotating member 18, allowing the rotating member 18 to move along the length of the rod portion 14. When the rotating member 18 moves along the length of the rod portion 14, it causes the bolt and crankshaft to rotate relative to each other.
[0036] One end of the rotating component 18 is fixedly provided with a side stop 20 that abuts against the surface of the connecting part 17, limiting the rotation of the rotating component 18. The other end of the rotating component 18 is equipped with a mounting stop 21, which abuts against the surface of the connecting part 17 to limit the rotation of the rotating component 18. In one embodiment, one end of the rotating component 18 has a mounting screw hole 28, and a mounting stud 27 is fixed on the mounting stop 21. The mounting stud 27 is screwed into the mounting screw hole 28 and threadedly connected to it. By inserting the rotating component 18 into the mounting hole 22 and then installing the mounting stop 21, the rotating component 18 is limited.
[0037] The actuating component 12 includes a rotating member 25, a contact member 23, and a spacer 24. The rotating member 25 is sleeved on the rod portion 14, located on the side of the rotating member 18 away from the hook-shaped portion 13. The rotating member 25 has a threaded hole 29 that threadedly engages with the lead screw section 15. When the rotating member 25 is rotated, it can push the rotating member 18 to move on the rod portion 14. The contact member 23 is sleeved on the rod portion 14 and slides, located on the side of the rotating member 25 closer to the rotating member 18. One end of the contact member 23 abuts against the connecting portion 17. The spacer 24 is sleeved on the rod portion 14 and located between the rotating member 25 and the contact member 23. In one embodiment, both ends of the spacer 24 are provided with contact portions 31, each contact portion 31 having a smooth boss. The smooth surface of the boss abuts against the contact member 23 and the rotating member 25, reducing friction. In another embodiment, the contact portion 31 may also be configured as a thrust bearing, which is installed between the contact member 23 and the spacer 24 and between the spacer 24 and the rotating member 25 to reduce friction.
[0038] Working process or usage method:
[0039] 1. Hook the hook-shaped part 13 onto the mounting shaft of the pedal part, and at the same time engage the bolt wrench 26 with the bolt. By rotating the rotating part 25, the contact part 23 pushes the connecting part 17, which in turn causes the rotating part 18 to move on the rod part 14, causing the bolt and the crank arm to rotate relative to each other, thereby loosening the screw until the rotating part 18 is close to the hook-shaped part 13.
[0040] 2. By adjusting the angle between the bolt and the crank arm, repeat step one until the bolt is completely removed.
