Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to bicycle technology, specifically to a bicycle saddle assembly. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, bicycle seats are quite bulky and poorly designed. Prolonged riding often leads to problems such as buttock pain and leg numbness. Furthermore, during leisurely long-distance riding, the seat compresses the prostate and perineum for extended periods, causing poor blood circulation and tissue damage. Due to its poor shape and structure, ventilation is inadequate, resulting in stuffiness and heat buildup in the groin area. This causes a rapid increase in temperature, leading to high temperatures, stuffiness, sweating, and dampness, further disrupting bodily functions and damaging the reproductive system. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, this application provides a bicycle seat assembly in which two cushioning pads are provided on the support frame and seat pad blocks are provided on the cushioning pads. This not only eliminates the compression between the crotch and the seat, but also maximizes the guidance of airflow to quickly pass through the crotch of the human body, and removes the heat emitted by the skin of the crotch and the root of the thigh during human movement.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this application to solve its technical problem is: A bicycle seat assembly includes a support frame, a cushioning pad, a seat block, and a massage pad. Two cushioning pads are fixedly mounted on the support frame, with a gap between the two cushioning pads. At least two seat blocks are fixedly mounted on the cushioning pads, with a gap between adjacent seat blocks. The massage pad is detachably mounted on the support frame.

[0005] Optionally, the support frame has a hollow structure in the middle, and the support frame includes two support parts, with the buffer pad fixedly sleeved on the support parts.

[0006] Optionally, the first ends of the two support parts are fixedly connected by a connecting rod, and the second ends of the two support parts are respectively fixedly connected to an assembly rod, which is used to fix and install on the seat tube.

[0007] Optionally, the two assembly rods are fixedly connected by a mounting base, and the massage pad is fixedly mounted on the mounting base.

[0008] Optionally, the massage pad is fixed to the mounting base by screws; or, the massage pad is fixed to the mounting base by a snap-fit ​​assembly.

[0009] Optionally, the first end of the assembly rod is connected to the second end of the support, and the second end of the assembly rod is a free end.

[0010] Optionally, the assembly rod includes an inclined section, which is fixedly connected to the second end of the support portion, and the mounting base is fixedly installed on the inclined section.

[0011] Optionally, the cushioning pad is provided with an installation groove and a ventilation groove, the support part passes through the installation groove, and a ventilation groove is provided between the two cushion blocks.

[0012] Optionally, the cushion, the seat block, and the massage pad are all made of elastic material.

[0013] Optionally, the two cushioning pads are arranged symmetrically relative to the massage pad.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: This application combines structural mechanics and ergonomics to analyze the forces exerted on the occupant while riding, and designs two cushioning pads on the supporting frame, modifying the traditional one-piece structure into a two-part split structure to support the two halves of the buttocks respectively. This results in high adaptability and can significantly increase the contact area of ​​the buttocks, thereby dispersing the pressure intensity and effectively reducing the local pressure of the seat on the body. The cushioning pads have perforations, and the seat blocks have gaps, which eliminates the squeezing between the groin and the seat, and maximizes the guidance of airflow to quickly pass through the groin, carrying away heat emitted from the groin and inner thighs during movement, lowering the body surface temperature, eliminating the discomfort of stuffiness and dampness, and especially maintaining the natural temperature of the scrotum, increasing air circulation, and being friendly to the reproductive organs. This application eliminates the front shaft structure of the seat, eliminating the damaging squeezing of body tissues during use. A massage pad is installed at the front of the component; the massage pad can be quickly removed, making it convenient and easy to operate during use. Attached Figure Description

[0019] Example: Figure 1-8As shown, a bicycle saddle assembly includes a support frame 10, cushioning pads 20, seat blocks 30, and a massage pad 40. Two cushioning pads 20 are fixedly mounted on the support frame 10, with a gap between the two cushioning pads 20. At least two seat blocks 30 are fixedly mounted on each cushioning pad 20, with a gap between adjacent seat blocks 30. The massage pad 40 is detachably mounted on the support frame 10. This saddle assembly divides a traditional integral bicycle saddle into three independent components: two cushioning pads 20 and one massage pad 40. Gaps exist between the two cushioning pads 20 and between the cushioning pads 20 and the massage pad 40. Seat blocks 30 are fixedly mounted on the cushioning pads 20, with a gap between adjacent seat blocks 30. In use, the user sits on the two cushioning pads 20 and the seat blocks 30.

[0020] This application combines structural mechanics and ergonomics to analyze the forces exerted on and on the occupants while riding. Two cushioning pads 20 are designed on the support frame 10, modifying the traditional one-piece structure into a two-part structure to support the two halves of the buttocks respectively. This provides a high degree of fit and significantly increases the contact area of ​​the buttocks, thereby dispersing pressure intensity and effectively reducing localized pressure on the body. Hollows are provided between the cushioning pads 20, and gaps exist between the seat blocks 30. This eliminates compression between the groin and the seat, and maximizes airflow to quickly pass through the groin, carrying away heat dissipated from the groin and inner thighs during movement, lowering body surface temperature, and eliminating the discomfort of stuffiness and dampness. In particular, it maintains the natural temperature of the scrotum, increases air circulation, and is friendly to the reproductive organs. The front axle structure of the seat is eliminated in this application, preventing damage and compression to body tissues during use. A massage pad 40 is installed at the front of the component; the massage pad 40 can be quickly disassembled for convenience and flexible operation during use.

[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the support frame 10 has a hollow structure in the middle. The support frame 10 includes two support parts 11, and the buffer pad 20 is fixedly sleeved on the support parts 11. Optionally, the support parts 11 are U-shaped or V-shaped. The support frame 10 is a one-piece component formed by bending a tubular part. The middle part of the support frame 10 is hollow, and there are two support parts 11 on the left and right sides to support the buffer pad 20. There is a gap between the two buffer pads 20. Therefore, the entire support frame 10 has good ventilation and elasticity.

[0022] This application combines ergonomics and modern medicine to design a bicycle seat assembly. Two support sections 11 are provided on the support frame 10, each with a cushioning pad 20 fixed to it. Structurally, the original one-piece structure is divided into left and right parts, while eliminating the front seat structure. Firstly, it can simultaneously replace traditional seats, solving the problem of riding comfort. Secondly, through structural improvements, ventilation and airflow design are added, allowing for rapid airflow and preventing excessive heat in the groin area, thus providing breathability, comfort, and preventing sweating. It also provides a cool and comfortable feeling during fast riding. Through structural adjustments, combining ergonomics and modern medicine, areas prone to causing meridian blockage and blood flow obstruction due to compression are avoided, which could damage bodily functions. A massage pad 40 is added to massage acupoints and muscle tissue during riding, increasing the product's comfort and health functions; effectively achieving a combination of comfort and health.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the first ends of the two support parts 11 are fixedly connected by a connecting rod 12, and the second ends of the two support parts 11 are respectively fixedly connected to an assembly rod 14, which is used to fix and install on the seat tube 50. The connecting rod 12 is recessed towards the lower part of the support part 11, so the connecting rod 12 will not cause pressure on the human body.

[0024] like Figure 6-7 As shown, the two assembly rods 14 are fixedly connected by a mounting base 13, and the massage pad 40 is fixedly mounted on the mounting base 13. The mounting base 13 is located between the two assembly rods 14. The massage pad 40 increases lateral stability during riding, improving riding comfort. Furthermore, the massage pad 40 can use massage airbags, mechanical massage mechanisms, electric massage mechanisms, etc., and through mechanical or wireless electric automatic control, it can relax the mind, relieve fatigue, promote blood circulation, and help the body's Qi and blood flow smoothly during riding, thereby promoting health.

[0025] Optionally, the massage pad 40 is fixed to the mounting base 13 by screws; or, the massage pad 40 is fixed to the mounting base 13 by a snap-fit ​​assembly. The massage pad 40 is an independent structure that can be quickly assembled onto the mounting base 13, thus facilitating replacement to adapt to different usage needs.

[0026] like Figure 7 As shown, the first end of the assembly rod 14 is connected to the second end of the support part 11, and the second end of the assembly rod 14 is a free end. Because the second end of the assembly rod 14 is a free end, the support frame 10 is open as a whole, which further increases the elasticity of the support frame 10 and improves the comfort of the user during riding.

[0027] like Figure 7 As shown, the assembly rod 14 includes an inclined section, which is fixedly connected to the second end of the support portion 11, and the mounting base 13 is fixedly installed on the inclined section. That is, the mounting base 13 is arranged at an angle relative to the support portion 11. The design of the inclined section on the assembly rod 14 facilitates the massage pad 40, thereby meeting the massage needs of the human body.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, the cushioning pad 20 has a mounting groove 21 and a ventilation groove 22. The support part 11 passes through the mounting groove 21, and a ventilation groove 22 is provided between the two seat blocks 30. The cushioning pad 20 has a thin sheet structure and an arc-shaped upper surface. The cushioning pad 20 is connected by two strip-shaped mounting grooves 21. During assembly, the support part 11 passes through the mounting groove 21. The cushioning pad 20 has ventilation grooves 22, and a seat block 30 is fixed on the surface of the cushioning pad 20 on both sides of the ventilation groove 22. When in use, the rider sits on the seat block 30. In this embodiment, the cushioning pad 20 has three parallel ventilation grooves 22 and four seat blocks 30. Of course, the number of ventilation grooves 22 and seat blocks 30 can be arbitrarily designed as needed. In this application, the traditional entire seat cushion is divided into two or more seat cushion blocks 30, and ventilation grooves 22 are provided between the seat cushion blocks 30, which further improves the overall breathability and comfort of the seat cushion assembly.

[0029] Optionally, the cushioning pad 20, the seat cushion block 30, and the massage pad 40 are made of elastic materials. This can improve the comfort and elasticity of the seat cushion assembly. Optionally, the cushioning pad 20, the seat cushion block 30, and the massage pad 40 are made of rubber-based materials or thermoplastic elastomer materials, including polyurethane (TPU), styrene (TPS), polyester (TPEE), etc.

[0030] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the two cushioning pads 20 are arranged symmetrically relative to the massage pad 40. The overall structure of this bicycle seat assembly resembles a soaring roc, with the wings, i.e., the support part 11, designed to maximize the load-bearing capacity of the user during use. The central spine area features a hollow design to minimize pressure on the groin and seat during use. Compared to ordinary seat cushions, this design avoids the unhealthy phenomena caused by excessive contact during use, such as soft tissue and muscle compression, poor blood flow, and poor circulation. Using this product can eliminate problems such as leg numbness, groin constriction, buttock pain, and stuffiness caused by traditional seat cushions.

[0031] In this application, the supporting frame 10 can be formed by bending metal tubing, and the cushioning pad 20, seat cushion block 30, and massage pad 40 can be made of elastic materials. Therefore, the structure is compact and simple to manufacture, balancing durability and comfort. Utilizing new materials and processes, the overall weight is reduced by approximately 50% compared to ordinary seat cushions. The product has good overall interchangeability, allowing for maintenance and upkeep as a whole or disassembled. It is easy to clean and can be replaced entirely if damaged. The product combines fun and comfort, and also includes fitness functions.

[0032] Therefore, the bicycle seat component of this application solves the following technical problems and achieves the following technical effects: First, it solves the problems of leg numbness, groin discomfort, and buttock pain caused by ordinary seat cushions during riding; second, it solves the problem of physical damage caused by heat accumulation and sweating on the body surface during riding; at the same time, it adds auxiliary health functions, which can provide massage to promote blood circulation, ventilation and cooling, and a series of other functions beneficial to human health; this product has a compact structure, is lightweight, has a modern and novel appearance, uses new processes and materials, reduces production difficulty and cost, and is easy to promote; at the same time, it links riding with health, fundamentally solving the problems of harm caused by riding to the human body, and truly transforming riding into riding that is beneficial to health.

[0033] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this patent application shall be determined by the appended claims.
