BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
[0001] The invention relates to the field of skateboard accessories, in particular to a
torque strengthening device for land surfboard adapters.
2. Description of the Relater Art
[0002] Skateboarding is the originator of extreme sports history, and many extreme sports
are extended from skateboarding. Skateboarding evolved from surfing in the late 1950s
and early 1960s. Skateboarding is widely sought after and loved by young people because
of its simplicity, ease of learning, portability, and low location limitations. Now
it has become the "coolest" sport on the planet.
[0003] Most of the existing adapters for surfboards use a torsion spring to control the
stability of the adapter's rotation. In the course of use, it was found that a torque
spring of the adapter has poor stability when rotating, and it is easy to break during
the movement, which increases the risk. Therefore, a torque strengthening device for
land surfboard adapters that can ensure the stability of the adapter, is not easy
to break, and improve the safety is developed.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the invention is to overcome the shortcomings
of the above technology and provide a torque strengthening device for land surfboard
adapters.
[0005] A torque strengthening device for land surfboard adapters, comprising an upper connecting
plate and a lower connecting plate, wherein a number of tension springs arranged obliquely
and distributed circumferentially are connected between the upper connecting plate
and the lower connecting plate.
[0006] Further, the upper connecting plate and the lower connecting plate are provided with
the same number of evenly arranged spring connecting blocks on the side facing the
tension springs; the number of the tension springs is twice the number of the spring
connecting blocks on the upper connecting plate, and each of the spring connecting
block is provided with two spring connecting holes; the spring connecting blocks of
the upper connecting plate and the spring connecting blocks on the lower connecting
plate are alternately arranged; one end of each of the tension spring corresponds
to the spring connecting block connected to the upper connecting plate, and the other
end thereof corresponds to the spring connecting block connected to the lower connecting
plate; a number of positioning pins are both provided on the side of the upper connecting
plate and the lower connecting plate away from the tension spring; a number of screw
fixing holes are both provided on the upper connecting plate and the lower connecting
plate.
[0007] Further, the number of the spring connecting blocks on both the upper connecting
plate and the lower connecting plate is 4, and the number of the tension springs is
8.
[0008] Further, the number of the positioning pins on the upper connecting plate and the
number of the positioning pins on the lower connecting plate are both 2, and the number
of the screw fixing holes on the upper connecting plate and the number of the screw
fixing holes on the lower connecting plate are both 4.
[0009] Further, the center position of the upper connecting plate and the center position
of the lower connecting plate are both provided with a through hole.
[0010] The advantages of the invention: the invention has reasonable structure and convenient
installation; the setting of multiple tension springs enables the adapter to be more
stable, balanced, smooth, and quiet when rotating, which avoids the risk of a single
tension spring being easily broken during the movement, prolongs the service life
of the adapter, improves the safety of land surfboards, and enhances the user experience
effect; the invention can replace tension springs with different diameter to obtain
different surfing feelings.

[0013] The invention will be further described in detail hereinafter with reference to the
drawings.
[0014] A torque strengthening device for land surfboard adapters, comprising an upper connecting
plate 11 and a lower connecting plate 21, wherein a number of tension springs 31 arranged
obliquely and distributed circumferentially are connected between the upper connecting
plate 11 and the lower connecting plate 21.
[0015] The upper connecting plate 11 and the lower connecting plate 21 are provided with
the same number of evenly arranged spring connecting blocks 41 on the side facing
the tension springs 31; the number of the tension springs 31 is twice the number of
the spring connecting blocks 41 on the upper connecting plate 11, and each of the
spring connecting block 41 is provided with two spring connecting holes 51; the spring
connecting blocks 41 of the upper connecting plate 11 and the spring connecting blocks
41 on the lower connecting plate 21 are alternately arranged; one end of each of the

connecting plate 11, and the other end thereof corresponds to the spring connecting
block 41 connected to the lower connecting plate 21; a number of positioning pins
81 are both provided on the side of the upper connecting plate 11 and the lower connecting
plate 21 away from the tension spring 31; a number of screw fixing holes 61 are both
provided on the upper connecting plate 11 and the lower connecting plate 21. The number
of the spring connecting blocks 41 on both the upper connecting plate 11 and the lower
connecting plate 21 is 4, and the number of the tension springs 31 is 8. The number
of the positioning pins 81 on the upper connecting plate 11 and the number of the
positioning pins 81 on the lower connecting plate 21 are both 2, and the number of
the screw fixing holes 61 on the upper connecting plate 11 and the number of the screw
fixing holes 61 on the lower connecting plate 21 are both 4. The center position of
the upper connecting plate 1 and the center position of the lower connecting plate
21 are both provided with a through hole 71.
[0016] When the invention is in specific use, that is, when it replaces the single torsion
spring in the existing adapter, the connection of the invention is firstly positioned
by the positioning pins 81 on the upper connecting plate 11 and the lower connecting
plate 21, and then fixed by the screw fixing holes 61 and the fixing screws; as shown
in FIG. 3, the adapter generally comprises a fixing plate 1, a rotating plate 2, a
thrust bearing 3, a bottom bracket screw 5, and a locking nut 6; the fixing plate

a land surfboard.
[0018] The design of the invention is convenient to install, and the adapter is more stable,
balanced, smooth, and quiet when rotating. This structure can be used as tension springs
with different strengths. Therefore, with the same adapter, users can replace rotating
structural parts with different strengths to experience different surfing effects.
[0019] The invention can replace tension springs with different diameter to obtain different
surfing feelings, that is, the spiral radius of the tension spring 41 is different,
so the diameter is different, and the surfing feeling is also different.
