Below in conjunction with all accompanying drawings, describe automatic bicycle speed variator of the present invention in detail.
Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 are the first embodiment of the present invention, that is a kind of embodiment of the automatic shift device of three sections speed changes.
Being supported at both ends on the back fork of bicycle of anchor shaft (12) is equipped with the wheel hub (13) of spoke (14), be installed on the anchor shaft (12), and rotatable.
Wheel hub (13) extends in transmission system box (15), is fixed with sun gear (11) at the one end.Transmission system box (15) is fixed on the anchor shaft (12).
Inside in transmission system box (15), in the lateral, sprocket wheel (1), clutch ring (4), inner gear (8a) (8b) (8c), driving gear set (9a-10a) (9b-10b) (9c-10c) are installed in turn, and part such as above-mentioned each gear etc. in addition all can rotate freely.
Installed inside at sprocket wheel (1) has a pressure arm (2), and described pressure arm (2) keeps pressing down to center position under the effect of spring wire (3).
Periphery in clutch ring (4) is formed with several segmentation grooves, and described segmentation groove has brake surface (7a), (7b), (7c), and above-mentioned pressure arm (2) promptly is located in these segmentation grooves.In addition, each the brake surface position on clutch ring (4) is provided with claw-like slide bar (6a), (6b), (6c), and described claw-like slide bar is subjected to the effect of spring (5a), (5b), (5c), keeps leaning laterally.
Described claw-like slide bar, along laterally staggering respectively of clutch ring, that is its allocation position is, and slide bar (6a) is corresponding to inner gear (8a), and slide bar (6b) is corresponding to inner gear (8b), and slide bar (6c) is corresponding to inner gear (8c).When slide bar moves and when outstanding to the inside, its ratchet just and the serration recess interlock of corresponding inner gear periphery.
Inner gear (8a) by gear drive (9a-10a) and and sun gear (11) mesh.Equally, inner gear (8b) and (8c) respectively by gear drive (9b-10b) and (9c-10c) and and sun gear (11) mesh.Sun gear (11) and wheel hub (13) are fixed as one, and are installed in together on the anchor shaft (12), and can rotate freely thereon.Spoke (14) is housed on the wheel hub (13), uses fixing vehicle wheel.
Now the operating principle to the automatic bicycle speed variator of said structure is illustrated.When driving a vehicle usually, be installed in the pressure arm (2) on the sprocket wheel (1), under the effect of spring wire (3), keep withstanding the brake surface (7a) that clutch ring (4) is gone up innermost side.So clutch ring (4) just and sprocket wheel (1) rotate by direction shown in the arrow A together.Simultaneously, because pressure arm (2) is pushed down brake surface (7a), claw-like slide bar (6a) just resists the elastic force of spring (5a), and direction is outstanding to the inside, its ratchet just is engaged in the formed serration recess of inner gear (8a) periphery, makes inner gear (8a) also by the rotation of direction shown in the arrow A.
Like this, inner gear (8a) just by the gear drive (9a-10a) of over-speed gear ratio maximum and sun gear (11) mesh, the latter is rotated by direction shown in the arrow B, thereby wheel hub (13) and spoke (14) via being fixed as one with sun gear (11) make wheel adjust rotation.
When driving up gradient or drive a vehicle when the relatively poor road of condition etc. produces the place of big rotational resistance, the pressure one that pressure arm (2) props up brake surface (7a) reaches first elastic force (this value depends on the elastic force size of spring (3)) that spring wire (3) gives elder generation's setting, pressure arm (2) is just crossed brake surface (7a), moves to brake surface (7b).
Under this state, claw-like slide bar (6a) no longer and the recess of inner gear (8a) periphery engagement, claw-like slide bar (6b) is then outstanding to the inside, the recess engagement of its ratchet and inner gear (8b) periphery makes inner gear (8b) by the rotation of direction shown in the arrow A.
Inner gear (8b) via the gear drive (9b-10b) of medium over-speed gear ratio and sun gear (11) mesh and drive its rotation, thereby wheel is rotated with middling speed.
When if rotational resistance is bigger, then identical with the above-mentioned action of changing into the middling speed occasion, propulsive effort is passed to inner gear (8c), makes sun gear (11) rotation via the gear drive (9c-10c) of minimum over-speed gear ratio, and wheel is promptly with low speed rotation.
No matter under which kind of occasion, have only an inner gear to be driven by clutch ring, other inner gear only dallies.
The handoff procedure of gear mechanism discussed above, the inverse process when just being the bicycle entry into service.That is, suffered rotational resistance maximum when just having started owing to bicycle, pressure arm (2) just moves to the brake surface (7c) of over-speed gear ratio minimum, is located on this brake surface.Along with reducing of rotational resistance, the rotatory inertia of wheel constantly increases, and has surpassed from the pedal effect of chain wheel driving power just, so clutch ring rotates with regard to being subjected to inertia effects, pressure arm (2) just retreats to the brake surface (7b) of next bit.Equally, if on this position, the rotational resistance of driving reduces once more, and pressure arm (2) just moves to the corresponding brake surface of common driving (7a) so.
In addition, when sprocket wheel (1) when stopping the rotation,, also has the effect of flywheel with the inner gear (8) of its periphery recess and the interlock of claw-like slide bar.
Fig. 3,4,5,6 is depicted as second embodiment of the invention, and wherein automatic shift device has adopted different gear mechanisms.Now be described as follows.
The structure of inner gear Outboard Sections and effect, identical with first embodiment.The same with first embodiment, the periphery of inner gear (8) is formed with identical recess.In it diameter in week then by (8a), (8b), (8c) in turn and one of a ratio is little, and corresponding with each inner gear, on anchor shaft (12), be installed on a diameter big sun gear of a ratio (18a), (18b), (18c).
Between large internal gear (8a), (8b), (8c) and sun gear (18a), (18b), (18c), be provided with planetary wheel (17a), (17b), (17c), they mesh with cooresponding inner gear and sun gear respectively, described planetary wheel can around they axle and rotate, described axle then install in and the bearing seat (16) that constitutes of wheel hub (13) one on.
Wheel is installed on the wheel hub (13) that rotates together with planetary bearing seat (16) by spoke (14).
The operating principle of second embodiment is described now.The same with first embodiment, according to the size of wheel revolutions resistance, select some among inner gear (8a), (8b), (8c) for use.
Select inner gear (8a) under high speed situation for use, at this moment, less this group gear of sun gear (18a) of planetary wheel (17a) that inner gear (8a) and diameter are bigger and diameter works.When inner gear (8a) is pressed the driving of arrow C direction, because sun gear (18a) is fixed, therefore planetary wheel (17a) is being pressed shown in the arrow D in the direction rotation, and also by above-mentioned same direction revolution, that is planetary bearing seat (16) is also by the rotation of arrow C direction.Because wheel hub (13) and compensating-gear shaft bearing (16) are fixed as one, so wheel hub (13) is also by the rotation of arrow C direction, and wheel is with regard to high speed revolution.
When selecting inner gear (8b) for use, the sun gear (18b) of planetary wheel of intermediate diameters (17b) and intermediate diameters works, and manner of execution is identical with the occasion of selecting inner gear (8a) for use, and wheel rotates with regard to middling speed.
Equally, when selecting inner gear (8c) for use, the sun gear (18c) that planetary wheel (17c) that diameter is less and diameter are bigger works, and wheel is with regard to low speed rotation, and this moment, the bicycle ratio was easier to drive.
The not action of the gear cluster of transmission of drive force, and the flywheel effect that produces according to the various combination of inner gear and claw-like slide bar, all the same with first embodiment.
