Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of motorcycle technology, and more specifically, to an adjustable main rest. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of motorcycle technology, the main footrest is a key component that supports the rider's feet and ensures riding comfort and handling safety. However, current traditional products have significant defects in pedal adaptability design. Because the left and right pedals of traditional main footrests are mostly rigidly fixed to the mounting bracket and locked directly with bolts, the vertical tilt angle of the pedals cannot be adjusted. Since different riders have different foot sizes and natural postures, pedals with a fixed tilt angle cannot meet individual needs. During long rides, the rider's ankles and calf muscles need to maintain a posture that adapts to the fixed pedals, which can easily lead to tension and increased fatigue. This shortcoming in comfort is particularly prominent in long-distance riding scenarios, which not only affects the riding experience but may also cause fatigue to distract attention and indirectly increase the risk of handling safety. Therefore, we propose an adjustable main footrest to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0003] The main purpose of this invention is to provide an adjustable main footrest, which solves the problem that traditional main footrests often have rigid fixed connections between the left and right pedals and the mounting bracket, simply locked with bolts. This makes it impossible to adjust the vertical tilt angle of the pedals. Since different riders have different foot sizes and natural postures, pedals with fixed tilt angles are difficult to meet individual needs. During long rides, the rider's ankles and calf muscles need to maintain a posture that adapts to the fixed pedals, which can easily lead to tension and increased fatigue. This is especially true for long-distance riding, where the lack of comfort is more pronounced. This not only affects the riding experience but may also cause fatigue to distract attention and indirectly increase safety hazards.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] An adjustable main footrest includes a main footrest tube with a main footrest frame connecting bracket mounted on it. A left footrest mounting bracket and a right footrest mounting bracket are respectively provided on the front and rear sides of the main footrest tube. A shift shaft bracket and an engine connecting plate are sequentially mounted on the side of the main footrest tube closest to the left footrest mounting bracket. A brake pedal mounting bracket and a disc brake pump mounting bracket are mounted on the side of the main footrest tube closest to the right footrest mounting bracket. A brake pedal limiting bracket is mounted on the main footrest tube between the main footrest frame connecting bracket and the brake pedal mounting bracket. An engine connecting pipe is mounted on the end of the main footrest tube closest to the disc brake pump mounting bracket. A disc brake hose fixing bracket is mounted on the lower end of the engine connecting pipe. An engine starter lever limiting bracket is mounted on the main footrest tube between the disc brake pump mounting bracket and the engine connecting pipe. Foot pedals are fitted on both the left and right footrest mounting brackets.
[0006] Preferably, the brake pedal limiting bracket is connected to the brake pedal mounting shaft by a nut.
[0007] Preferably, the left foot pedal mounting bracket and the corresponding foot pedal, and the right foot pedal mounting bracket and the corresponding foot pedal, are all fixed by bolts, and bolts are provided through the sides of the left foot pedal mounting bracket and the right foot pedal mounting bracket.
[0008] Preferably, the main support frame connecting bracket is provided with mounting holes for connecting to the frame.
[0009] Preferably, the engine starter lever limiter is an arc-shaped protrusion structure, the height of which is adapted to the effective stroke of the engine starter lever.
[0010] Preferably, the disc brake oil pipe fixing bracket has two independent arc-shaped slots, which are used to engage the oil outlet and return lines of the brake system, respectively, and the inner wall of the arc-shaped slots is provided with a rubber buffer layer.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] (1) In this utility model, the left and right foot pedal mounting brackets and foot pedals are fixed with two bolts. The up and down tilt of the foot pedals can be adjusted by one bolt. This can adapt to the foot size and natural placement posture of different riders, avoid the continuous tension of ankle and calf muscles during long-term riding, greatly reduce fatigue, improve the comfort of long-distance riding, and reduce the safety hazards of operation caused by fatigue distraction.
[0013] (2) In this utility model, the engine start lever limit is an arc-shaped protrusion structure, which can prevent the start lever from exceeding the limit and causing difficulty in returning to the original position. It not only meets the effective stroke of the start lever, but also realizes automatic return after releasing the foot, reducing start operation failures; the disc brake oil pipe fixing bracket separates the oil outlet and return oil pipes through an independent arc-shaped slot, and the inner wall rubber buffer layer can prevent the oil pipe from rubbing and breaking with the frame during riding, ensuring the safe operation of the braking system.

[0018] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0019] like Figures 1 to 3As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment proposes an adjustable main footrest, including a main footrest tube 1, on which a main footrest frame connecting bracket 2 is mounted. A left footrest mounting bracket 4 and a right footrest mounting bracket 10 are respectively provided on the front and rear sides of the main footrest tube 1. A gear shift shaft bracket 3 and an engine connecting plate 5 are sequentially mounted on the side of the main footrest tube 1 closest to the left footrest mounting bracket 4. A brake pedal mounting bracket 11 and a disc brake pump mounting bracket are mounted on the side of the main footrest tube 1 closest to the right footrest mounting bracket 10. 9. A brake pedal limiter 12 is installed on the main footrest tube 1 located between the main footrest frame connecting bracket 2 and the brake pedal mounting bracket 11. An engine connecting pipe 6 is installed at one end of the main footrest tube 1 near the disc brake pump mounting bracket 9. A disc brake hose fixing bracket 7 is installed at the lower end of the engine connecting pipe 6. An engine start lever limiter 8 is installed on the main footrest tube 1 located between the disc brake pump mounting bracket 9 and the engine connecting pipe 6. Foot pedals are fitted on both the left foot pedal mounting bracket 4 and the right foot pedal mounting bracket 10.
[0020] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in another embodiment of this utility model, the brake pedal limiting bracket 12 is connected to the brake pedal mounting shaft by a nut. The left foot pedal mounting bracket 4 and the corresponding foot pedal, and the right foot pedal mounting bracket 10 and the corresponding foot pedal are all fixed by bolts. Bolts are provided through the sides of the left foot pedal mounting bracket 4 and the right foot pedal mounting bracket 10. The main footrest frame connecting bracket 2 is provided with mounting holes for connecting to the frame. The engine start lever limiting 8 is an arc-shaped protrusion structure, and its protrusion height is adapted to the effective stroke of the engine start lever. The disc brake oil pipe fixing bracket 7 has two independent arc-shaped slots. The two arc-shaped slots are used to engage the oil outlet and oil return lines of the brake system, respectively. The inner wall of the arc-shaped slots is provided with a rubber buffer layer.
[0021] First, connect the main footrest tube 1 to the motorcycle frame via the main footrest frame connecting bracket 2. Using the slots on the main footrest frame connecting bracket 2, adjust the relative position of the main footrest tube 1 and the frame. After alignment, secure it with bolts to complete the overall assembly of the main footrest. Next, place the foot pedals on the left footrest mounting bracket 4 and the right footrest mounting bracket 10 respectively. Use two bolts to pass through the corresponding holes on the mounting brackets and foot pedals to initially secure the foot pedals. Then, if you need to adjust the vertical tilt of the foot pedals, rotate the bolts that pass through the sides of the left footrest mounting bracket 4 and the right footrest mounting bracket 10, pushing the foot pedals around the bolt connection points until an angle suitable for the rider's foot feel is achieved. Tighten the bolts to lock the position. Then, according to the rider's braking habits, loosen the nut connecting the brake pedal limit bracket 12 and the brake pedal mounting shaft, move the brake pedal up and down to a suitable height to ensure a comfortable feel when braking. Then tighten the nut to fix the position of the brake pedal. When the foot is pressed on the engine start lever, the engine start lever limit 8 will prevent the start lever from exceeding the preset stroke, ensuring that the start lever moves within the effective stroke. After releasing the foot, the start lever will automatically return to its original position along the arc-shaped protrusion of the engine start lever limit 8. At the same time, during riding, the two independent arc-shaped slots of the disc brake oil line fixing bracket 7 respectively engage the oil outlet line and the oil return line of the brake system to prevent the line from contacting the frame.
[0022] The main support frame connecting bracket 2 uses strip holes instead of traditional round holes, which increases the range of position adjustment during assembly. It eliminates the need for repeated precise alignment, greatly reduces the difficulty of long-term assembly between the main support and the frame, improves assembly efficiency, and saves installation time.
[0023] Two bolts can securely fix the pedals to prevent them from loosening while riding. The bolts can also be used to adjust the up and down tilt of the pedals to fit different riders’ foot sizes and natural postures. This avoids continuous tension in the ankle and calf muscles during long rides, reduces fatigue, improves the comfort of long-distance riding, and reduces the safety hazards caused by fatigue-induced distraction.
[0024] The arc-shaped protrusion structure of the engine start lever limiter 8 not only satisfies the effective stroke of the start lever to start the engine smoothly, but also prevents the start lever from exceeding the limit and causing difficulty in returning to its original position, reducing starting operation failures and improving engine starting reliability. The disc brake oil pipe fixing bracket 7 separates the oil outlet and return lines, and the rubber buffer layer on the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove can prevent the lines from rubbing against the frame and breaking during riding, ensuring the smooth flow of the brake system oil circuit, ensuring normal braking function, and improving riding safety.
[0025] The working principle of this adjustable main support foot:
[0026] In use, first connect the main footrest tube 1 to the motorcycle frame via the main footrest frame connecting bracket 2. Using the slots on the main footrest frame connecting bracket 2, adjust the relative position of the main footrest tube 1 and the frame. After alignment, secure it with bolts to complete the overall assembly of the main footrest. Then, place the pedals on the left pedal mounting bracket 4 and the right pedal mounting bracket 10 respectively. Use two bolts to pass through the corresponding holes on the mounting brackets and pedals to initially secure the pedals. If you need to adjust the vertical tilt of the pedals, rotate the bolts passing through the sides of the left pedal mounting bracket 4 and the right pedal mounting bracket 10, pushing the pedals around the bolt connection points until a comfortable ride is achieved. Adjust the angle, tighten the bolts to lock the position, and then, according to the rider's braking habits, loosen the nut connecting the brake pedal limit bracket 12 and the brake pedal mounting shaft, move the brake pedal up and down to a suitable height to ensure a comfortable feel when braking, then tighten the nut to fix the brake pedal position. When the foot is pressed on the engine start lever, the engine start lever limit 8 will prevent the start lever from exceeding the preset travel, ensuring that the start lever moves within the effective travel. After releasing the foot, the start lever will automatically return to its original position along the arc-shaped protrusion of the engine start lever limit 8. At the same time, during riding, the two independent arc-shaped slots of the disc brake oil line fixing bracket 7 respectively engage the oil outlet line and the oil return line of the brake system to prevent the line from contacting the frame.
[0027] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating this utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is impossible to exhaustively list all the implementation methods here. Any obvious variations or modifications derived from the technical solutions of this utility model are still within the protection scope of this utility model.
