Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of bicycle chains, and in particular to a novel lightweight and high-strength bicycle chain. Background Technology

[0002] Bicycles are an indispensable means of transportation in daily life. Their working principle is that the rider pedals, causing the chain to rotate, which in turn drives the wheels, propelling the bicycle forward. The chain is one of the most basic components of a bicycle, playing a crucial role in transmission and traction. It's a vital link between the two, and its quality directly affects the rider's experience and the bicycle's proper functioning. A bicycle chain is a common transmission device composed of individual links. During use, it interacts with gears. During this process, the pins and bushings constantly contact the gears, experiencing considerable vibration. Simultaneously, the chain is subjected to traction, and different links may come into contact with each other.

[0003] Existing bicycle chains have a solid structure, making them heavy. The support shaft and surface are subject to friction and wear from the bicycle freewheel, causing the chain surface to heat up, reducing its strength and potentially leading to breakage. They also make it difficult to dissipate heat from the chain surface. Furthermore, once broken, the chain is relatively fixed, making it inconvenient to disassemble, replace, and maintain.

[0004] To address this, we designed a new type of lightweight and high-strength bicycle chain to meet the needs of practical applications. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned shortcomings in the existing technology by proposing a novel lightweight and high-strength bicycle chain.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A novel lightweight and high-strength bicycle chain is designed, including a wear-resistant cylinder, a support cylinder that is slidably sleeved inside the wear-resistant cylinder, a support shaft that passes through the inside of the support cylinder, a heat dissipation groove provided on the surface of the support shaft, an insertion groove in the middle of the support shaft, a connecting rod that slides through the insertion groove, a first chain plate connected to both ends of the support shaft, and a second chain plate slidably disposed on the outside of the first chain plate.

[0008] In detail, the support shaft is a cylindrical structure, and the heat dissipation groove is a long strip structure.

[0009] In detail, an abutment ring is slidably installed on the outer side of the second chain plate, a connecting plate is fixed on the outer side of the abutment ring, and a connecting ring is fixed on the inner end of the connecting plate.

[0010] In detail, the abutment ring is slidably sleeved on both ends of the support shaft, the gap of the connecting ring is set on the outside of the support shaft, and the connecting plate is distributed in a cross shape.

[0011] In detail, the two ends of the connecting rod slide through the connecting ring, the two ends of the connecting rod have a threaded surface structure and are threadedly connected to a limiting sleeve, and the limiting sleeve is slidably disposed on the outside of the connecting ring.

[0012] In detail, the inner surface of the limiting sleeve is a threaded surface structure and is threadedly connected to both ends of the connecting rod. The two ends of the connecting rod have first insertion holes, and the surface of the limiting sleeve has a second insertion hole. Bolts are inserted into the second insertion hole and the first insertion hole. The first insertion hole is a threaded hole structure.

[0013] In detail, the second chain plate has mounting holes at both ends, the support shaft slides through the mounting holes, the surface of the second chain plate has a weight reduction groove, and a reinforcing strip is fixed in the internal gap of the weight reduction groove. The first chain plate and the second chain plate have the same structure.

[0014] Core function: Heat dissipation grooves are evenly distributed on the surface of the support shaft, and the support cylinder is slidably sleeved on the plate of the support shaft, while the wear-resistant cylinder is slidably sleeved on the outer surface of the support cylinder.

[0015] The two ends of the first chain plate are slidably inserted into the two ends of the support shaft, and the two ends of the second chain plate are inserted into the two ends of the support shaft and slidably connected to the outside of the first chain plate.

[0016] A weight-reducing groove is provided on the surface of the second chain plate, and a reinforcing strip is provided inside the weight-reducing groove. The first chain plate has the same structure as the first chain plate, so the weight of the chain can be reduced and the strength of the chain can be increased.

[0017] A slot is provided inside the support shaft to accelerate heat dissipation and cooling, and a connecting rod can be slidably inserted into the slot.

[0018] The abutment ring slides onto the surface of the support shaft and slides against the outside of the second chain plate; moreover, the connecting ring is fixed to the outside of the abutment ring by the connecting plate.

[0019] A limiting sleeve is threaded onto the surface of the connecting rod, and the limiting sleeve is installed by bolt positioning and sliding against the connecting ring, thereby limiting the installation of the first chain plate and the second chain plate, and facilitating disassembly, installation, replacement and maintenance.

[0020] The design scheme proposed in this utility model has the following beneficial effects in application:

[0021] 1. The weight of the chain can be reduced and the strength of the chain can be increased by setting weight-reducing grooves and reinforcing bars. The wear-resistant cylinder can be used to enhance the wear resistance of the chain, and the heat dissipation effect of the chain can be improved by heat dissipation grooves and plug holes.

[0022] 2. By removing and installing limiting sleeves at both ends of the connecting rod, and the limiting sleeves sliding against the abutment ring through the connecting ring and the connecting plate, it is easy to remove the abutment ring, the first chain plate and the second chain plate.
