Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a cycling device, specifically a multi-functional cycling device. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the popularization of urban cycling, outdoor commuting, and bicycle touring, portable cycling aids have gradually become standard equipment for cyclists. Among them, portable air pumps and cycling lights are essential tools for cycling safety and emergency response, almost indispensable for every cyclist. However, most products on the market are still single-function devices; air pumps only have a single inflation function, and cycling lights only provide illumination. This forces users to purchase and carry multiple devices separately, resulting in bulkiness, added weight, and cumbersome operation. Especially in emergency situations, they are inefficient, seriously affecting the user experience.

[0003] Structurally, most existing portable air pumps use brushed motors, which, while low-cost, suffer from short lifespans and severe electromagnetic interference, making them unsuitable for frequent use and multi-functional integration. On the other hand, most high-brightness cycling lights on the market exist as standalone lighting devices, neglecting their integration with other cycling modules, resulting in redundant assembly and complex wiring. Furthermore, most existing air pumps use screw-on valves, requiring users to manually tighten the valves onto the tire valves for inflation, a cumbersome and time-consuming process that provides a poor user experience for non-professional cyclists or in low-light conditions at night.

[0004] Furthermore, in practical use, the compatibility between the valve stem and the tire valve is also a challenge. Currently, various valve sizes (such as American valve stems, French valve stems, etc.) coexist on the market, and air pumps often require external adapters for compatibility. If users do not carry an adapter, it will be difficult to inflate tires while riding outdoors. In addition, traditional valve stem assembly methods often lack good sealing and quick connection capabilities, making them unsuitable for high-frequency use or operation in harsh environments.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need in the existing technology for a multi-functional cycling device that is highly integrated, easy to operate, and highly adaptable, which can organically integrate a brushless motor-driven air pump with a high-brightness light, and whose structural design takes into account the requirements of quick air valve connection, flexible disassembly and assembly, and heat dissipation from a shared power supply, so as to improve portability, safety and efficiency during cycling. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model provides a multifunctional cycling device that meets the needs of cyclists for integrated, portable, and efficient operation of multifunctional equipment. Through technologies such as miniaturization of brushless motors, optical optimization, and quick-release structures, it provides an integrated device that combines inflation and lighting.

[0007] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a multi-functional cycling device, comprising:

[0008] Housing, air pump module, lighting module, air nozzle assembly, air hose assembly, fixing assembly, and power module;

[0009] The air pump module is located inside the housing and is driven by a brushless motor.

[0010] The lighting module is located at one end of the housing and is integrated with the air pump module. The lighting module is used to provide forward lighting.

[0011] The valve assembly is connected to the air pump module via an air tube assembly. The valve assembly is a detachable push-button valve, which is used to connect with the tire valve for inflation by pressing.

[0012] The air tube assembly is a flexible tubing structure, with one end detachably connected to the air pump module and the other end detachably connected to the air nozzle assembly;

[0016] As a preferred technical solution, the valve assembly is provided with a sealing gasket and a pressure triggering structure. The pressure triggering structure is used to automatically control the air pump module to start running after the valve contacts the tire valve.

[0017] As a preferred technical solution, the lighting module includes a reflector and at least one high-brightness LED bead. The reflector has a parabolic inner surface structure, and the LED bead is located at the focal point of the parabola.

[0018] As a preferred technical solution, the fixing component includes a bracket and a flexible strap. The bracket is detachably connected to the housing via a buckle or magnetic structure and is adaptable to handlebars or stems of different sizes.

[0019] As a preferred technical solution, an electromagnetic interference shielding layer is provided between the power module and the air pump module to prevent signal interference to the lighting module when the motor is running.

[0020] As a preferred technical solution, a control motherboard is also provided inside the housing. The control motherboard is electrically connected to the air pump module, the lighting module, and the power supply module. The control motherboard is also provided with multiple control buttons.

[0021] As a preferred technical solution, the power module is a lithium battery, which simultaneously powers both the air pump module and the lighting module.

[0022] As a preferred technical solution, heat dissipation fins are provided on the outside of the housing.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: First, by integrating the high-brightness lighting module and the brushless motor-driven air pump into the same housing, the functions of inflation and lighting are integrated, reducing the number of independent devices that users carry with them, improving system integration efficiency, and facilitating lightweight and portable design.

[0024] Second, compared with traditional brushed motors, the brushless motor used has the advantages of small size, high speed, high efficiency, no spark interference, and long life, which significantly improves the reliability and service life of the inflation system and is suitable for high-frequency outdoor use.

[0025] Third, the valve assembly of this utility model adopts a press-type design with built-in sealing gasket and trigger structure. Users only need to press the valve onto the tire valve core to automatically trigger inflation, eliminating the need for manual tightening and disassembly, reducing operation time by about 50% and improving emergency response efficiency.

[0026] IV. This utility model enables quick disassembly and interchange of the valve assembly and the air pipe assembly through a threaded connection structure. It is compatible with various thread specifications (such as 8V1 and 6V1) valves, avoiding users from frequently changing or carrying additional adapters between different vehicle models, and significantly improving the compatibility of usage scenarios.

[0027] V. This utility model adopts a detachable fixing component, combining a rigid bracket and a flexible strap structure, which can be adapted to handlebars or stems of various diameters and can be quickly disassembled and installed to meet the needs of cyclists in different scenarios.

[0035] All features disclosed in this specification, or all steps in all disclosed methods or processes, may be combined in any way, except for mutually exclusive features and / or steps.

[0036] Any feature disclosed in this specification (including any appended claims, abstract, and drawings) may be replaced by other equivalent or similar features, unless specifically stated otherwise. That is, unless specifically stated otherwise, each feature is merely one example of a series of equivalent or similar features.

[0037] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the present invention provides a multifunctional cycling device, which mainly includes a housing 1, an air pump module 8, a lighting module 2, an air nozzle assembly 5, an air hose assembly 4, a fixing assembly 6, and a power module 7.

[0038] To achieve a compact structure, convenient operation, and integrated functions for the device, the structural layout and functional interaction methods of each component have been optimized in this specific embodiment.

[0039] The shell 1 is a one-piece molded structure, preferably made of aluminum alloy or high-strength engineering plastic, to balance lightweight and mechanical strength.

[0040] The housing 1 has an internal mounting cavity for accommodating the air pump module 8, the power module 7, and the control motherboard 10. One end of the housing 1 has a lighting window that corresponds to the lighting module 2. The exterior of the housing 1 is also provided with multiple sets of evenly arranged heat dissipation fins to assist in the dissipation of heat during the operation of the motor and LED beads, thereby improving the stability of the system operation.

[0041] The air pump module 8 is installed in the middle section of the housing 1 and mainly consists of a brushless motor 9 and a miniature cylinder. The brushless motor 9 is a small motor with a diameter of less than 24mm and a rated voltage of 7.4V. It is directly connected to the cylinder through a coupling, arranged axially in a compact manner, and its overall length is controlled within 75mm.

[0042] Because the brushless motor 9 does not have carbon brushes and a commutator structure, it has no spark interference during operation, low electromagnetic interference, and a long lifespan, making it particularly suitable for high-frequency riding environments.

[0043] The lighting module 2 is located at the front end of the housing 1 and consists of a high-brightness LED bead 21 and a reflector 22. The reflector has a parabolic reflective surface structure inside, and the LED bead is installed at the focal point of the reflective surface to achieve directional focused lighting.

[0044] To meet the visibility requirements during nighttime cycling, this module is designed with an illumination distance of no less than 20 meters. The lighting power and angle can be adjusted via the control motherboard 10, enabling switching between strong light, weak light, and flashing modes. The lampshade is preferably made of anodized aluminum, which helps improve light reflectivity and enhances the structure's corrosion resistance.

[0045] The air nozzle assembly 5 is installed at the air outlet of the equipment. It adopts a detachable press-button structure, and the outer shell is covered with wear-resistant plastic. The interior is equipped with a sealing gasket and a micro-pressure trigger.

[0046] When the user aligns the valve with the tire valve core and presses it, the sealing gasket makes initial sealing contact, triggering a circuit connection signal to control the main board 10 to drive the air pump module 8 to start. Without the need for tightening, the valve can be quickly connected and automatically started for inflation.

[0047] To accommodate different tire valve types, the valve assembly 5 features an interchangeable design with various threaded valve types. The valve tail has a standard threaded structure, connecting to the air hose assembly 4 via a threaded connection. It has 360-degree rotation capability for easy angle adjustment. Optional valves include 8V1 and 6V1 threaded interfaces, which can be manually replaced by the user according to the tire type.

[0048] The air hose assembly 4 is a flexible hose structure, with one end connected to the air pump outlet via a threaded connection, and the other end connected to the air nozzle assembly 5. The hose length is preferably between 10 and 15 centimeters, providing good flexibility to adapt to different installation angles and inflation positions. To enhance safety and reliability, the air hose interface is equipped with a self-sealing structure to prevent air backflow when the air nozzle is not connected.

[0049] The fixing component 6 includes a bracket 61 and a flexible strap 62. The bracket 61 is injection-molded or extruded from ABS or aluminum alloy, and its shape fits the back of the housing 1. A quick-release buckle mechanism is provided at the bottom for easy assembly and disassembly of the device. The strap is made of silicone material with a Shore hardness of 70-80, offering good flexibility and durability. The inner side of the strap has an anti-slip textured structure to ensure stable fixation during riding. This fixing component 6 is compatible with handlebars or stems with diameters from 22mm to 35mm, supports both horizontal and vertical installation, and offers strong compatibility.

[0050] The power module 7 is located at the rear of the housing 1 and is a set of lithium battery power supply units. It uses polymer soft-pack batteries with a maximum capacity of 650mAh*2 / 800mAh*2 or even larger than 1000mAh*2.

[0051] The battery pack provides power to the air pump module 8 and the lighting module 2 via circuitry. To prevent electromagnetic interference generated during motor operation from causing signal noise to the lighting system, a metal EMI shielding layer is installed between the power module 7 and the air pump module 8, effectively reducing magnetic field interference and improving overall electrical stability.

[0052] Inside the housing 1 is a multi-functional control motherboard 10, which integrates power supply control, inflation control, lighting control and protection circuits. It is equipped with multiple control buttons 3, which allow users to select lighting modes, start or stop the inflation function and other operations.

[0053] The control motherboard 10 is connected to each functional module by soldering or plugging, which facilitates later maintenance and replacement. The motherboard area is also equipped with over-temperature and over-voltage protection circuits to improve the overall safety and intelligence level of the equipment.

[0054] This specific embodiment achieves a high degree of integration of lighting and inflation functions by modularizing and functionalizing multiple components, significantly improving the operating efficiency, compatibility, and user portability of the equipment, and has good prospects for promotion and application.

[0055] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions conceived without inventive effort should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
