Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of exercise bike technology, and in particular to a glass wheel structure for an exercise bike and an exercise bike using the same. Background Technology
[0002] Spinning is a unique and energetic indoor cycling training program that combines music and visual effects. Overcoming all the drawbacks of outdoor cycling, technological improvements have made it a simple and easy-to-learn aerobic exercise that provides a full-body workout. A spinning bike consists of handlebars, a seat, pedals, and wheels, all securely connected as a single unit. Current wheels are generally made of metal (hollow metal freewheels, solid steel freewheels, carbon fiber wheels, aluminum alloy wheels, or stainless steel wheels), with the wheels and axles welded together. This ensures good wheel-axle coaxiality, but it increases manufacturing costs, and wheel damage can lead to the bike being unusable, increasing maintenance costs. Therefore, improvements to the existing technology are necessary. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a glass wheel structure for a stationary bike and a stationary bike using the same structure. It innovatively adopts a detachable structure for the glass wheel and connecting components, which facilitates disassembly and installation, reduces production costs, helps maintain the coaxiality of the glass wheel and rotating shaft after installation, and also helps prevent the entire bike from being scrapped in the event of damage, thus reducing subsequent maintenance costs.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0037] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. However, it should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit its scope. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of the present utility model.
[0038] Example 1: See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 A glass wheel structure for a stationary bike includes a glass wheel 1 and an irregularly shaped mounting hole 11 located in the middle of the glass wheel 1. A connecting component 2 is installed in the irregularly shaped mounting hole 11. The connecting component 2 and the glass wheel 1 are arranged coaxially. This facilitates the installation and removal of the connecting component 2 and the glass wheel 1. It is an innovative approach to use a detachable structure for the glass wheel and the rotating shaft, which is convenient for disassembly and installation, reduces production costs, helps maintain the coaxiality of the glass wheel and the rotating shaft after installation, and also helps prevent the entire bike from being scrapped in the event of damage, thus reducing maintenance costs.
[0039] Example 2: This can be explained based on Example 1, such as... Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the connecting assembly 2 includes a connecting shaft 21, on which a first bearing 22 and a second bearing 23 are provided. The first bearing 22 and the second bearing 23 are connected by a connecting shaft seat 24. The connecting shaft 21 passes through the connecting shaft seat 24. The first bearing 22 and the second bearing 23 at both ends of the connecting shaft seat 24 are fixed and locked by corresponding locking members 25. The connecting shaft seat 24 is provided with a shaped mounting seat 26 for cooperating with the shaped mounting hole 11 of the glass wheel 1. The connecting shaft seat 24 is also provided with a fixing seat 27 for fixing and locking the glass wheel 1 on the connecting shaft seat 24. This arrangement is more reasonable in structure, easier to disassemble and install, and more conducive to the installation of the shaped mounting hole 11 in the middle position of the glass wheel 1 with the shaped mounting seat 26.
[0040] Among them, the irregular mounting hole 11 adopts a regular hexagon (such as... Figure 2 and Figure 5 (as shown) or square (square or rectangle, such as) Figure 6 and Figure 9(as shown) or elliptical (while in this embodiment it is court-shaped, such as...) Figure 10 and Figure 13 As shown), correspondingly, the irregularly shaped mounting base 26 adopts a regular hexagon (as shown). Figure 2 and Figure 5 (as shown) or square (square or rectangle, such as) Figure 6 and Figure 9 (as shown) or elliptical (while in this embodiment it is court-shaped, such as...) Figure 10 and Figure 13 As shown), not only are there various types available, offering a wide range of choices, but they also facilitate the disassembly and installation of the glass wheel 1 and the irregularly shaped mounting base 26. Further explanation is provided, as... Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The irregularly shaped mounting base 26 and the coupling seat 24 are integrally formed, greatly improving the structural robustness. To further explain, the coupling seat 24 includes a threaded sleeve 241 for mating with the fixed seat 27. A base 242 is provided on the end face of the threaded sleeve 241. The threaded sleeve 241 and the base 242 are integrally formed. Specifically, as shown... Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 When the irregularly shaped mounting base 26 shown is hexagonal or elliptical, the hexagonal or elliptical irregularly shaped mounting base 26, the threaded sleeve 241, and the base 242 are integrally formed. This structure is more robust. Further illustrating this, the elliptical irregularly shaped mounting base 26, such as... Figure 10 As shown, a pad (not shown in the figure) is provided on the back of the base 242, and the pad is pressed by the second bearing 23; or the threaded sleeve 241 is connected to the base 242 in series by the connecting shaft 21. Specifically, as shown in the figure... Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, when the irregular mounting base 26 is square, the square irregular mounting base 26 and the base 242 are integrally formed, and the base 242 and the threaded sleeve 241 are connected together. The base 242 and the threaded sleeve 241 are integrally formed. At this time, the square irregular mounting base 26 and the threaded sleeve 241 on the base 242 are connected together by the connecting shaft 21. The threaded sleeve 241 is provided on the first bearing 22, and the base 242 is provided on the second bearing 23. Finally, the base 242 and the threaded sleeve 241 are fixed on the connecting shaft 21 by the corresponding fixing seat 27.
[0041] The locking component 25 is a nut, which is connected to the connecting shaft 21 by a thread, making it easy to disassemble and install.
[0042] The fixed seat 27 and the coupling seat 24 are connected by threads, which facilitates the disassembly and installation of the fixed seat 27, and also facilitates the disassembly and installation of the glass wheel 1 and the coupling seat 24.
[0043] Example 3: Based on Example 1 or Example 2, this utility model also provides a stationary bicycle, which adopts the glass wheel structure of the stationary bicycle described above.
[0044] All standard parts used in this application can be purchased from the market, and the specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as nuts that are mature in the existing technology, and will not be described in detail here.
[0045] It should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described herein, this does not limit the scope of patent protection for this utility model. Therefore, any changes and modifications made to the embodiments based on the innovative concept of this utility model, or equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this utility model's specification and drawings, directly or indirectly applying the above technical solutions to other related technical fields, are all included within the scope of protection of this utility model patent.
