Bicycle Stand Segmented Support for Stability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional bicycle stands have small contact surfaces, leading to poor stability and insufficient load-bearing capacity, and do not allow riders to ride the bicycle while it is parked, with a single function that is inconvenient to use.
Innovation Solution
A bicycle stand with a first connecting portion, a main body, and at least two supporting members that are movable between expanding and folded positions, providing stable support and easy assembly/disassembly, featuring a rod member and base with adjustable connections and engaging mechanisms for secure positioning.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If conventional bicycle stands use simple rod members with pivot mechanisms, then the device complexity is low, but the contact surface area is small resulting in poor stability and insufficient load-bearing capacity
Solution Approach 1:
The base is divided into multiple supporting members (at least two) that can be independently adjusted, allowing each member to contribute to the overall stability. This segmentation enables better weight distribution and contact with the ground, improving stability without requiring a single complex structure
Solution Approach 2:
The supporting members are made adjustable and movable relative to the main body, allowing the bicycle stand to adapt to different ground conditions and bicycle weights. This dynamic capability enhances stability by enabling optimization of the support configuration rather than relying on a fixed, potentially inadequate structure
2Adaptability or versatility
If conventional bicycle stands have a single support function, then the device complexity is low, but the versatility is limited as riders cannot ride the bicycle when parked
Solution Approach 1:
The bicycle stand is designed with multiple functions: it can support the bicycle in a parked position, allow the bicycle to be ridden while parked, and provide adjustable support angles. The adjustable supporting members enable the structure to accommodate different usage scenarios, making a single device serve multiple purposes rather than requiring separate devices for different functions
3Ease of operation
If conventional bicycle stands have fixed structures, then the ease of operation is high, but the adaptability to different usage scenarios is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The supporting members are designed to be movable and adjustable relative to the main body, allowing users to change the configuration based on different usage needs. This dynamic feature enables the stand to adapt to various scenarios while maintaining ease of operation through simple adjustment mechanisms rather than complex procedures

AI summary
A bicycle stand is provided, including: a first connecting portion, a main body and at least two supporting members. The first connecting portion is configured to be assembled to a frame of a bicycle. The main body includes a rod member and a base connected with the rod member, and the rod member defines an axial direction and includes a second connecting portion detachably connected with the first connecting portion. The at least two supporting members are connected with the base and respectively include at least one supporting surface configured to be abutted against a placement surface, and the at least two supporting members are movable relative to the main body between an expanding position and a folded position.
