Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a bicycle bell structure that can emit a warning sound to alert road users and also has an adjustable function. [Previous Technology]

[0002] Note that currently known bicycle bells are mostly as shown in Figure 9. This bell (60) mainly has a fixed base (61) and a hammer holder (63) connected together. A bell cover (62) is provided on the fixed base (61), and a hammer (64) is provided on the hammer holder (63). When the hammer (64) is pressed down and released, and strikes the bell cover (62), the bell (60) emits a loud warning sound, thus serving as a warning. To alert road users, a tube (65) is provided at the end of the mounting base (61) that is different from the bell cover (62), allowing the bicycle bell (60) to be fixed to the handlebars of the bicycle through the tightness of the tube (65). In order to assist riding or to record various data smoothly during riding, bicycles are usually equipped with accessories such as warning lights, odometers, speedometers, dashcams, satellite navigation, and mobile phone holders.

[0003] However, the conventional structure described above still has the following problems in practical applications: the fixed seat (61) and the hammer frame (63) are directly connected and cannot be adjusted according to different installation positions or angles, so the bell (60) is limited by the accessories on the bicycle handlebars, and there is a problem that it is difficult to install smoothly or cannot be installed at all (that is, the position where it can be pressed smoothly has been occupied by the accessories). There is still much room for improvement in its use.

[0004] Therefore, the inventor, in view of this, conceived the idea of ​​creation and designed it based on many years of experience. After extensive discussions, sample testing, and multiple revisions and improvements, the present invention was launched.

[0006] It is known that the mounting base and hammer base of a bicycle bell are directly connected, and it is impossible to make corresponding adjustments according to different installation positions or angles. This is the technical problem that needs to be solved.

[0008] The adjustable bicycle bell structure of the present invention includes: a fixed base, a first magnet, a second magnet, and a hammer holder. The fixed base has a connecting portion for mounting the fixed base on the handlebars of a bicycle. A sleeve extends from one surface. A positioning member is provided inside the sleeve. The positioning member is a circular cylindrical body, and its outer diameter is smaller than the inner diameter of the sleeve, forming an annular space for insertion between the positioning member and the sleeve. The periphery of the positioning member has several radially arranged teeth. A first hole is provided at the center of the end face of the positioning member to provide a mounting for the first magnet. The first magnet and the second magnet each have a first magnetic attraction surface and a second magnetic attraction surface, which are configured with different magnetic poles. When the first magnet is inserted and fixed in the first hole, the first magnetic attraction surface faces the second magnetic attraction surface of the second magnet. The first magnet is magnetically attracted to the second magnet by its first magnetic attraction surface, and the hammer frame has a support arm, a sleeve post, and a frame body connected between the support arm and the sleeve post. The support arm is provided with a bell cover and a hammer. The sleeve post is tightly fitted to the sleeve post, and the end face of the sleeve post has a central hole. The edge of the hole has several radially arranged grooves. The bottom of the hole is connected to a second hole for securing the second magnet. The grooves provide the teeth for locking, and the magnetic attraction between the first and second magnets allows the sleeve post to be tightly fitted into the annular space, ensuring that the hammer frame can be securely installed on the fixed base. By pulling the hammer frame out in the opposite direction, rotating it to one side, and then reinstalling it, the hammer frame can also be angle-adjustable. This constitutes an adjustable bicycle bell structure.

[0010] (a) The adjustable bicycle bell structure of the present invention uses the toothed groove and the locking tooth for locking, and with the mutual magnetic attraction of the first magnet and the second magnet, it can be positioned on the fixed seat at any desired angle, so that the installation of the bicycle bell is not limited by the use of the accessories, so as to achieve the practical effect that the bicycle bell and the accessories can be smoothly installed on the handlebar.

[0011] (ii) The adjustable bicycle bell structure of the present invention, wherein the hammer frame can be positioned on the fixed seat at any desired angle, so that even without the addition of the accessory, the hammer frame can be adjusted to the position desired by the rider, making the bicycle bell more convenient to use.

[0012] (iii) The adjustable bicycle bell structure of the present invention utilizes the tooth groove and the locking tooth for locking, the mutual magnetic attraction between the first magnet and the second magnet, and is inserted into the annular space in a tight fit through the sleeve post, which can produce multiple fixing effects, so that the hammer frame will not be shaken off or blown off due to vibration or strong wind during riding, and has excellent positioning force.

[0013] (iv) The adjustable bicycle bell structure of the present invention allows the hammer frame to be disassembled and assembled by hand, thus making angle adjustment relatively convenient. [Simplified Explanation of the Diagram]
