Fig. 1 to Fig. 7 shows the bicycle clamp structure 1 according to first embodiment.Clamp structure 1 includes clamping part 2 With control member supporting part 3.As shown in FIG. 14 and 15, and as that will be described in more detail below, control member supporting part 3 It is configured to support the control member 101 of bicycle rotation operation device 100.
It is actually class tubular element according to the clamp structure 1 of first embodiment, its intention is retained to for example voluntarily The bicycle assembly parts of handlebar.Therefore, clamping part 2 has clamping axis X, wherein, when clamp structure 1 is not clamped to bicycle During part, clamping axis X and the central axis of clamp structure 1 are substantially overlapped.When being retained to bicycle assembly parts, axis is clamped X and the bicycle assembly parts central axis are substantially overlapped.Clamping part 2 and control member supporting part 3 are formed on two portions 2 and 3 Between gap 4 separate.In the present embodiment, gap is formed through the opening of the elongation of clamp structure 4.Such as from for example scheming Visible in 3, relative to clamping axis X, circumferentially D extends in gap 4, and the of 80% with the about overall circumference of clamp structure 1 One circumferential lengths L1.The gap 4 of first embodiment is an example of the rigid weakenings of the present invention.
Clamping part 2 includes the annular component 5 with the end 7 of first end 6 and second.First flange 8 be arranged in first end 6 and Extend radially outward from first end 6.Second flange 9 is arranged on the second end 7 and extended radially outward from the second end 7.Such as Fig. 4 is visible, and the first flange 8 and the second flange 9 are actually extended parallel to relative to each other from annular component 5 so that first Breach S is formed between the flange 9 of flange 8 and second.First flange 8 has the first opening 10 and the second flange 9 has second to open Mouth 11.With reference to Fig. 8, the first opening 10 and the second opening 11 are configured to receive for clamp structure 1 to be clamped to bicycle assembly parts Fastener 12.In embodiment as shown in Figure 8, fastener 12 extends through the first opening 10 and the second opening 11 and and nut Component 19 is threadedly engaged.Nut member 19 is set to adjacent with the second flange 9 and with the with the annular component 5 of clamping part 2 The outline of the outer surface engagement at two ends 7.Thus, when in order to reach clamping purpose and turn Fastener 12, nut can be prevented Component 19 rotates together with fastener 12.Certainly, the first opening 10 or the second opening 11 are also provided with receiving fastener 12 Internal thread.Thus, nut member 19 can be omitted.
Connecting portion 13 is formed between clamping part 2 and control member supporting part 3.Connecting portion, which has, is less than the first circumferential lengths L1 the second circumferential lengths L2.In this embodiment, the second circumferential lengths L2 is about the overall circumference of clamp structure 1 20%.Connecting portion 13 is orientated circumferentially D as and deviateed with the first flange 8 and the second flange 9, visible in such as such as Fig. 3.So, One flange 8 and the second flange 9 are orientated as in axial direction, i.e., adjacent with gap 4 along clamping axis X.
Clamping part 2 has the additional slit 14 of circumferentially D extensions.Additional slit has the 3rd circumferential lengths L3, the 3rd Circumferential lengths L3 is less than the first circumferential lengths L1 but more than the second circumferential lengths L2.3rd circumferential lengths L3 exceedes clamp structure 1 Overall circumference 50%.As shown in Figure 6, additional slit 14 is arranged on the centre of clamping part 2.Pass through additional slit 14, clamping part 2 Weight can be reduced and the axial length of clamping part 2 is widened.
With reference to Fig. 7, clamping part 2 has the first axial length of the second axial length AL2 less than control member supporting part 3 AL1.Especially, the first axial length AL1 is preferably between the 50% to 90% of the second axial length AL2, and most preferably Between the 75% to 85% of the second axial length AL2.This allows the region for having abundance so that clamp structure 1 is clamped to voluntarily Weight is substantially saved while car part.
It is integral type integrated member according to the clamp structure 1 of first embodiment, it has the pliability of determination and by example As stamped sheet metal or molds metal plate are made.But the material of clamp structure is not limited to metal, it can be by plastic material It is made.Plate is then bent into the shape of clamp structure 1.In order to obtain smooth and almost ideal circular control member supporting part 3, control member supporting part has the first end 15 for being provided with the first attachment structure 17 and be provided with the second attachment structure 18 the Two ends 16.First attachment structure 17 and the composition dovetail connection of the second attachment structure 18.But the shape at the end 16 of first end 15 and second Shape is not limited to dovetail connection.They can be flat edge.Further, clamp structure 1 can mold be formed without first end and The annular at the second end.
In order to which clamp structure 1 is clamped to the bicycle assembly parts of such as hundle-bar, clamp structure 1 is affixed to bicycle On part.Certainly, the internal diameter of clamp structure 1 is slightly larger than the diameter of the bicycle assembly parts to be affixed to of clamp structure 1.When clamping knot Structure 1 is when in relative to the correct axial location of bicycle assembly parts, and turn Fastener 12 causes the first flange 8 and the second flange 9 Promote toward each other, and then reduce breach S.So as to reduce so that clamp structure 1 is pressed from both sides in generation the inside diameter elastomeric of clamping part 2 Hold to the chucking power of bicycle assembly parts.When forming gap 4 between clamping part 2 and control member supporting part 3, chucking power is prevented from Transmitted by connecting portion 13.In other words, chucking power is actually only applied on clamping part 2, but control member supporting part 3 is only Stand on the deformation of clamping part 2 so that the diameter of clamping part 2 changes not by (or simply slightly by) control member supporting part 3 influence.Thus, even if when clamping part 2 is clamped to bicycle assembly parts via fastener 12, control member supporting part 3 is kept Its is round-shaped.Therefore, control member 101 can be via the axle being arranged between control member 101 and control member supporting part Lining or load bearing unit rotate glibly along the circumference of control member supporting part 3.But, if necessary to and/or expect, it is convenient to omit Axle bush or load bearing unit.
When outwarding winding fastener 12 in order to which clamp structure 1 is removed from bicycle assembly parts, the first flange 8 and second is convex Breach S between edge 9 expands again, and the annular component 5 of clamping part 2, the first flange 8 and the second flange 9 flexibly return to it Initial pre- clamping shape.Thus, clamp structure 1 can be easily reused.
