Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of bicycle parts technology, and in particular to a foldable saddle. Background Technology

[0002] In response to the national call for low-carbon travel, more and more people are choosing to travel by bicycle. Cycling is not only low-carbon and environmentally friendly, but also a great form of exercise. Cycling engages the whole body, including the waist, lower limbs, and arms, making all the joints in the body more flexible.

[0003] Existing saddles typically consist of a base plate and a seat. The base plate is fixedly mounted on the frame, and the seat is mounted on the side of the base plate away from the frame. The seat provides soft support for the rider's body. In order to better fit the human body, existing seats are usually shaped to be narrower in the front and wider in the back.

[0004] The existing technical solutions mentioned above have the following drawbacks: when the summer is hot, the seat cushion will get very hot after being exposed to the sun for a long time. In summer, people usually wear thin clothes and sitting directly on the hot seat cushion will cause discomfort to the rider. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a foldable saddle to improve the comfort of riders during summer riding.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this application is achieved through the following technical solution: A foldable saddle includes a foldable seat cushion. The rear end of the seat cushion is divided into three parts, with the middle part being the same width as the front end. Both sides can be folded towards one side of the upper surface. Elastic elements are provided between the seat cushions on both sides and the base plate. When no rider is riding, the elastic elements on both sides can fold both seat cushions away from the base plate by their own elasticity. A drive structure is also provided on the base plate, which is used to drive the seat cushions on both sides to abut against the base plate.

[0007] By adopting the above solution, because of the elastic element, when no one is riding, the elastic element can lift both sides of the seat cushion upwards under its own elasticity, so that the surfaces of the two sides of the seat cushion are set opposite each other, avoiding direct sunlight on the surface of the seat cushion; and because of the drive structure, the drive structure can pull both sides of the seat cushion to abut against the bottom plate when a person is riding, so that the entire seat cushion can provide complete support for the person; thus achieving the goal of improving the physical comfort of the rider during summer riding.

[0008] Furthermore, the drive structure includes pull ropes and a pull rod. There are two pull ropes, each corresponding to one of the two seat cushions. Each pull rope is threaded through a corresponding elastic element. One end of each pull rope is fixedly connected to the side of the seat cushion closest to the bottom plate, and the other end extends out of the bottom plate. The pull rod is located at the other end of the pull ropes, and both ends of the pull rod are fixedly connected to the two pull ropes respectively. A locking rod is provided on the frame corresponding to the pull rod. When the pull rod and the locking rod are engaged, the seat cushions on both sides abut against the bottom plate.

[0009] By adopting the above solution, pulling the lever towards the locking lever causes the two pull ropes to move towards the base plate. The two pull ropes cause the seat cushions on both sides to come into contact with the base plate, thus enabling the seat cushion to provide complete support for the person.

[0010] Furthermore, each of the pull ropes is fitted with a sleeve, one end of which is fixedly connected to the seat cushion. A through hole is provided on the base plate corresponding to the sleeve, and the sleeve can slide relative to the through hole. The sleeve is used to protect the pull rope and prevent the pull rope from getting tangled with the elastic element.

[0011] By adopting the above solution, the sleeve can slide along the through hole with the pull rope during the pulling process, thereby protecting the pull rope and preventing entanglement between the pull rope and the elastic element.

[0012] Furthermore, the length of the sleeve is greater than the maximum elongation of the elastic element.

[0013] By adopting the above solution, this setting can prevent the sleeve from getting stuck between the seat and the base plate when the elastic element is stretched to its maximum value, which would prevent the sleeve from being aligned with the position of the through hole. When the pull rope is pulled to cause the elastic element to contract, the sleeve restricts the relative position of the seat and the base plate, which would prevent the seat from abutting against the base plate under the action of the pull rope.

[0014] Furthermore, one end of the locking rod is fixedly connected to the vehicle frame, and a locking groove is provided inward on the side of the locking rod away from the seat cushion. The locking groove is used to engage the pull rod.

[0015] By adopting the above solution, the locking groove and the pull rod are engaged to limit the pull rod, thus limiting the state in which the entire seat cushion driven by the pull rod is in contact with the bottom plate, making it easier for people to ride.

[0016] Furthermore, an anti-slip bar is fixedly connected to the end of the locking bar away from the frame. The anti-slip bar is set perpendicular to the locking bar and is used to prevent the pulling bar from slipping off the locking bar.

[0017] By adopting the above solution, the anti-slip bar can further prevent the pull bar from slipping off the locking bar.

[0018] Furthermore, the anti-slip bar is arc-shaped, with the arc bending from the end of the locking bar away from the frame to the end closer to the frame.

[0019] By adopting the above scheme, the arc shape facilitates the placement of the pull rod into the locking groove.

[0020] Furthermore, a buffer pad is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the locking groove, and the buffer pad is used to protect the pull rod that is stuck in the locking groove.

[0021] By adopting the above solution, the buffer pad is used to protect the pull rod that is stuck in the locking groove.

[0022] Furthermore, a receiving groove is formed on the outer side of the through hole towards the inside of the base plate, which is used to accommodate the contracted elastic element.

[0023] By adopting the above solution, the receiving groove is used to store the shrunken elastic element, so that the seat cushions on both sides can fit against the base plate.

[0024] In summary, this application has the following technical effects: By incorporating elastic elements, when the rider is not riding, the elastic elements can lift both sides of the seat cushion upwards under their own elasticity, so that the surfaces of the two sides of the seat cushion are set opposite each other, avoiding direct sunlight on the surface of the seat cushion, thus achieving the goal of improving the rider's comfort during summer riding. By setting up a drive structure, when a rider pulls the seat on both sides, they come into contact with the bottom plate, so that the seat can provide complete support for the rider. By incorporating a sleeve, the sleeve can slide along the through hole with the pull rope during the pulling process, thereby protecting the pull rope and preventing it from tangling with the elastic element.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Reference Figures 1-2 This embodiment provides a foldable saddle, including a foldable seat cushion 1. The rear end of the seat cushion 1 is divided into three parts, with the middle part being the same width as the front end, so that the seat cushions 1 on both sides can be folded towards the upper surface. Elastic members 3 are provided between the seat cushions 1 on both sides and the base plate 2. One end of each elastic member 3 is fixedly connected to the seat cushion 1, and the other end is fixedly connected to the base plate 2. When no one is riding, the elastic member 3, under its own elasticity, folds the seat cushions 1 on both sides upward with the two sides of the middle part of the seat cushion 1 as the axis, so that the upper surfaces of the seat cushions 1 on both sides face each other, reducing the area of ​​the seat cushions 1 directly exposed to sunlight. A drive structure 4 is also provided on the base plate 2, which is used to drive the seat cushions 1 on both sides to abut against the base plate 2.

[0029] Reference Figures 1-3 The drive structure 4 includes a pull rope 41 and a pull rod 42. There are two pull ropes 41, which are respectively positioned on the two sides of the seat cushion 1. Each pull rope 41 is threaded through the corresponding elastic element 3. One end of each pull rope 41 is fixedly connected to the side of the seat cushion 1 near the base plate 2. A through hole 21 is provided on the base plate 2 for each pull rope 41. The end of each pull rope 41 facing away from the seat cushion 1 passes through the through hole 21 and extends out of the base plate 2. The pull rod 42 is located at the end of the pull rope 41 facing away from the seat cushion 1, and both ends of the pull rod 42 are fixedly connected to the two pull ropes 41 respectively. A receiving groove 211 is formed on the outer side of each through hole 21 and extends into the base plate 2. The receiving groove 211 is used to store the retracted elastic element 3. In this embodiment, the elastic element 3 is preferably a spring.

[0030] Reference Figures 2-3 Each pull cord 41 is fitted with a sleeve 411 on its outer side. One end of each sleeve 411 is fixedly connected to the seat cushion 1. The sleeve 411 can slide along the through hole 21. The sleeve 411 is used to protect the pull cord 41 and prevent the pull cord 41 from getting tangled with the elastic element 3. The length of the sleeve 411 is greater than the maximum elongation of the elastic element 3. This setting can prevent the sleeve 411 from getting stuck between the seat cushion 1 and the base plate 2 when the elastic element 3 is stretched to its maximum value, which would prevent the sleeve 411 from being aligned with the position of the through hole 21. In this embodiment, the sleeve 411 is made of rubber so that the sleeve 411 can bend with the pull cord 41.

[0031] Reference Figures 1-2A locking rod 5 is provided on the frame corresponding to the pull rod 42. The locking rod 5 is set perpendicular to the frame. One end of the locking rod 5 is fixedly connected to the frame. A locking groove 51 is opened inward on the side of the locking rod 5 away from the seat cushion 1. The locking groove 51 is used to lock the pull rod 42. A buffer pad 511 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the locking groove 51. The buffer is used to protect the pull rod 42 that is locked with the locking groove 51. An anti-slip rod 52 is fixedly connected to the end of the locking rod 5 away from the frame. The anti-slip rod 52 is set perpendicular to the locking rod 5. The anti-slip rod 52 is used to prevent the pull rod 42 from slipping off the locking rod 5. The anti-slip rod 52 is arc-shaped. The arc bends from the end of the locking rod 5 away from the frame to the end closer to the frame. The arc shape makes it easier to guide the pull rod 42 into the locking groove 51.

[0032] The implementation principle of a foldable saddle according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: When no one is riding, the elastic element 3, under its own elastic action, folds the two sides of the seat cushion 1 with the two sides of the middle part as the axis, so that the upper surfaces of the two sides of the seat cushion 1 face each other, reducing the area of ​​the seat cushion 1 directly exposed to sunlight; when a person needs to ride, the pulling rod 42 is pulled towards the locking rod 5, and the pulling rod 42 can drive the two pull ropes 41 to pull towards the base plate 2. The two pull ropes 41 drive the two sides of the seat cushion 1 to fold towards the base plate 2 until the two sides of the seat cushion 1 are in contact with the base plate 2; then the pulling rod 42 is engaged with the locking groove 51, so that the position of the pull ropes 41 is locked, and further, the state of the two sides of the seat cushion 1 in contact with the base plate 2 is locked.

[0033] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of this application and is not intended to limit it. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they fall within the scope of the claims of this application.
