Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cycling apparel technology, specifically to a cycling garment that reduces airflow and wind resistance. Background Technology

[0002] In cycling, the performance of cycling apparel has a significant impact on the riding experience and efficiency. Currently, most cycling apparel on the market uses thin fabric to reduce body surface heat in order to cope with the heat generated by the body during cycling.

[0003] Chinese patent document CN201123195822.1 discloses a cycling jersey top, which consists of a body and sleeves. The sleeves are sewn to the sides and shoulders of the body. The garment, which is formed by sewing the sleeves to the sides of the body, has an arc-shaped opening at the armpit. Breathable fabric that matches the shape of the arc-shaped opening is sewn onto the opening. The jersey has less overlapping sewn fabric at the armpit, which makes the breathability more prominent and can quickly wick away sweat from the armpit.

[0004] However, the breathable mesh fabric in the above design has significant drawbacks: during high-speed cycling, the fabric in the breathable mesh section easily moves with the wind, affecting not only the wearer's appearance and comfort but also causing discomfort due to constant friction between the fabric and the body, thus reducing the wearing experience. Existing cycling apparel fails to fully utilize the airflow generated during cycling, failing to achieve efficient heat dissipation and reduce wind resistance, and thus cannot meet the needs of cycling enthusiasts for high-performance cycling apparel. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a cycling apparel that can effectively utilize airflow for heat dissipation while reducing wind resistance. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cycling suit that reduces airflow and wind resistance, aiming to improve the problem that the fabric of the breathable mesh part of existing cycling suits tends to move with the wind during cycling, which not only affects the wearer's appearance and comfort, but also causes discomfort due to the constant friction between the fabric and the body, thus reducing the wearing experience.

[0006] This utility model is implemented as follows: A cycling jersey for airflow heat dissipation and wind resistance reduction includes a cycling jersey body and two symmetrically arranged arm sections. Each arm section and the cycling jersey body has an air inlet at the connection point. The air inlet is covered with a breathable fabric. The cycling jersey body includes a front panel and a back panel. The back panel includes an upper back section and a lower back section. An upper air outlet breathable fabric connects the upper back section and the lower back section. Several upper connecting buckles are arranged between the upper back section and the lower back section. An upper air outlet is formed between two adjacent connecting buckles. The front panel, the upper back section, and the lower back section are all connected by a hinged splicing.

[0007] As one embodiment of this utility model, two lower connecting buckles are provided in the vertical direction of the lower back, and a lower air outlet is opened between the two lower connecting buckles. The lower air outlet is provided with a lower air outlet breathable fabric.

[0008] As one embodiment of this utility model, the above-mentioned upper connecting buckle and connecting buckle are buttons or Velcro.

[0009] As one embodiment of this utility model, the above-mentioned air inlet breathable fabric, upper air outlet breathable fabric and lower air outlet breathable fabric are all made of elastic honeycomb mesh fabric.

[0010] As one embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned elastic honeycomb mesh is a single-layer mesh structure, and the transverse elastic elongation rate of the above-mentioned elastic honeycomb mesh is 50%-80%, and the longitudinal elastic elongation rate is 30%-50%.

[0011] As one embodiment of this utility model, the above-mentioned elastic honeycomb mesh has uniform mesh size, and the diameter of each mesh is 0.5-1.5mm.

[0012] As one embodiment of this utility model, the elastic honeycomb mesh fabric and the main body of the cycling suit are stitched together with double lines.

[0013] As one embodiment of this utility model, the bottom of the main body of the cycling suit and the two arms are provided with elastic adjustment straps.

[0014] As one embodiment of this utility model, a mobile phone pocket and a water storage pocket are provided at the bottom of the lower back.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0026] Example 1, as Figure 1-6As shown, this airflow-cooling and wind-resistance-reducing cycling suit mainly consists of a main body 1 and two symmetrically arranged arm sections 2. The main body 1 includes a front panel 11 and a back panel 12, with the back panel 12 further divided into an upper back section 121 and a lower back section 122. By incorporating air inlets and outlets, the suit achieves the function of airflow circulation for heat dissipation and wind resistance reduction.

[0027] Specifically, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, air inlets 30 are provided at the connection points between each arm section 2 and the main body 1 of the cycling jersey, and breathable fabric 3 is provided on the air inlets 30. The breathable fabric 3 is made of elastic honeycomb mesh fabric 7, which allows air to smoothly enter the interior of the cycling jersey through the air inlets 30, while the elasticity ensures the stretch and freedom of movement of the cycling jersey during exercise. The elastic honeycomb mesh fabric 7 and the main body 1 of the cycling jersey are connected by double stitching to ensure the connection is firm and prevent problems such as unraveling during cycling.

[0028] like Figure 6 As shown, the elastic honeycomb mesh 7 is a single-layer mesh structure with a transverse elastic elongation of 50%-80% and a longitudinal elastic elongation of 30%-50%. The mesh size is uniform, with each mesh having a diameter of 0.5-1.5mm. It is a key material for achieving airflow heat dissipation and wind resistance reduction.

[0029] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the bottom of the cycling jersey body 1 and the two arm sections 2 are equipped with elastic adjustment straps 6. The elastic adjustment straps 6 are made of elastic materials, such as elastic bands. The tightness of the bottom and arm sections of the cycling jersey can be adjusted by the elastic adjustment straps 6 to prevent the cycling jersey from billowing in the wind during cycling and increasing wind resistance.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, a mobile phone pocket 125 and a water storage pocket 126 are located at the bottom of the lower back panel 122. The mobile phone pocket 125 allows the cyclist to conveniently place their mobile phone for checking information or using navigation functions during the ride. The water storage pocket 126 can be used to store a water bladder or other small items to meet the cyclist's drinking and other needs during the ride. The pockets are reasonably designed, conveniently located, and do not affect riding comfort or safety.

[0031] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, an upper air-ventilated breathable fabric 4 is connected between the upper back 121 and the lower back 122. This fabric is also made of elastic honeycomb mesh 7, the same as the air-intake breathable fabric 3. Several upper connecting buckles 123 are provided between the upper back 121 and the lower back 122. These upper connecting buckles 123 are buttons or Velcro.

[0032] The size of the upper air vent 40 can be adjusted by connecting or opening the upper connecting buckle 123, allowing for faster airflow. When riding, air enters the cycling suit through the air inlet 30, passes around the body, and is exhausted through the upper air vent 40, forming an effective airflow circulation and achieving heat dissipation.

[0033] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, two lower connecting buckles 124 are provided vertically on the lower back 122. These buckles can be buttons or Velcro. A lower air vent 50 is located between the two buckles 124, and a breathable lower air vent fabric 5 is installed inside the lower air vent 50. This fabric is also made of elastic honeycomb mesh 7. The design of the lower air vent 50 further enhances airflow expulsion from the cycling suit, improving heat dissipation. This airflow circulation not only effectively removes body heat, lowers surface temperature, and reduces sweating, but also reduces wind resistance during cycling through the orderly flow of air on the surface of the cycling suit, making cycling easier and more efficient.

[0034] The main body of the cycling jersey is connected by a hinged splicing method between the front panel 11, the upper back panel 121, and the lower back panel 122.

[0035] Heat dissipation performance test: Twenty cycling volunteers were selected and compared with traditional cycling clothing under the same cycling environment (temperature 30℃, humidity 60%) and cycling conditions (speed 25km / h, cycling time 60 minutes). The volunteers' body surface temperature was monitored in real time using a body surface temperature sensor, and the test data was recorded and analyzed. The results showed that the average body surface temperature of the volunteers wearing the new cycling clothing was 33.2℃, while the average body surface temperature of the volunteers wearing traditional cycling clothing was 35.5℃. This means that the average body surface temperature of the volunteers wearing the new cycling clothing was 2.3℃ lower than that of the volunteers wearing traditional cycling clothing, proving that the new cycling clothing has good heat dissipation performance.

[0036] Wind resistance test: The cycling suit of this invention and a traditional cycling suit were respectively installed on a wind tunnel testing device, and the wind resistance experienced by the cycling suit was tested under the same wind speed (15m / s). The test results show that the wind resistance experienced by the traditional cycling suit is 8.5N, while the wind resistance experienced by the cycling suit of this invention is 6.2N. The wind resistance experienced by the cycling suit of this invention is reduced by approximately 27.1% compared to the traditional cycling suit, verifying that the cycling suit can effectively reduce wind resistance.

[0037] Comfort Test: Fifteen cycling enthusiasts were invited to try on this new type of cycling apparel and experience it firsthand, cycling approximately 30 kilometers. Feedback was collected after the trial, including aspects such as comfort, freedom of movement, and fabric feel. According to the feedback statistics, in terms of comfort, 100% of the participants felt it was significantly improved compared to traditional cycling apparel; regarding freedom of movement, 93% of the participants reported feeling free and unrestricted during the ride; and regarding the fabric feel, 87% of the participants reported that the fabric was soft and comfortable, providing a good wearing experience.

[0038] Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other, but only if they are based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.

[0039] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the appended claims.
