現在將參照圖式來解釋所選擇的實施例。對於熟習自行車領域技術者從此揭示將會明白的是,以下實施例的說明僅被提供來用於繪示說明,而非以限制由隨附的申請專利範圍及其等效物所界定的本發明為目的。The selected embodiment will now be explained with reference to the drawings. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the following description of the embodiments of the present invention is intended to be illustrative only and not to limit the invention as defined by the scope of the appended claims for purpose.

先參照圖1,懸吊式自行車1被繪示成配備有根據一個所繪實施例的自行車控制系統10,其用來控制各種不同自行車電組件BC的操作。自行車控制系統10包括自行車操作裝置12。自行車1及其各種不同部件是傳統的,除了在此所討論的自行車控制系統10的自行車操作裝置12以外。因此,自行車1及其各種不同部件將不會在此被詳細地討論及/或繪示,除了為了瞭解自行車控制系統10所需者以外。Referring first to Figure 1, a suspended bicycle 1 is illustrated as being equipped with a bicycle control system 10 in accordance with one depicted embodiment for controlling the operation of various different bicycle electrical components BC. Bicycle control system 10 includes bicycle operating device 12. The bicycle 1 and its various components are conventional except for the bicycle operating device 12 of the bicycle control system 10 discussed herein. Accordingly, bicycle 1 and its various components will not be discussed and/or illustrated in detail herein except for those skilled in the bicycle control system 10.

如圖1中所見,自行車1基本地包括自行車車架F、前車輪FW、後車輪RW及驅動系統DT。自行車車架F包括主車架MF、車把H、後搖臂SA、前懸吊叉FS及後懸吊裝置RS。自行車1亦設有前撥鏈器FD、後撥鏈器RD、可調整座柱SP及主電力供應器PS。在所繪實施例中,前撥鏈器FD、後撥鏈器RD、前懸吊裝置FS、後懸吊裝置RS及可調整座柱SP是可藉由使用自行車操作裝置12來控制的自行車電組件BC的範例。雖然僅一個自行車操作裝置12被繪示成被安裝在自行車1的車把H的右側,對於熟習自行車領域技術者從此揭示將會明白的是,自行車操作裝置12的另一個能被安裝於車把H的左側。As seen in Fig. 1, the bicycle 1 basically includes a bicycle frame F, a front wheel FW, a rear wheel RW, and a drive system DT. The bicycle frame F includes a main frame MF, a handlebar H, a rear rocker arm SA, a front suspension fork FS, and a rear suspension device RS. The bicycle 1 also has a front derailleur FD, a rear derailleur RD, an adjustable seat post SP and a main power supply PS. In the illustrated embodiment, the front derailleur FD, the rear derailleur RD, the front suspension device FS, the rear suspension device RS, and the adjustable seat post SP are bicycle electric machines that can be controlled by using the bicycle operating device 12. An example of component BC. Although only one bicycle operating device 12 is illustrated as being mounted on the right side of the handlebar H of the bicycle 1, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art of bicycle use that the other of the bicycle operating device 12 can be mounted to the handlebar. The left side of H.

如圖2中所見,自行車控制系統10的方塊系統圖被繪示在圖1中,其中自行車操作裝置12被使用來控制自行車電組件BC中的至少一個。自行車控制系統10如以上所提包含自行車操作裝置12,且還包含訊號通訊裝置14。自行車控制系統10還包含一個或多個自行車電組件BC。訊號通訊裝置14藉由電纜線(electrical cord)EC1而被電連接於自行車操作裝置12。如以下所解釋,自行車操作裝置12回應於使用者所作的自行車操作裝置12的操作而產生控制訊號。控制訊號經由電纜線EC1而被傳送至訊號通訊裝置14。較佳地,電力線通訊(PLC)被使用來在電纜線EC1的導體上攜載資料,電纜線EC1的導體亦被使用來同時傳輸電力。As seen in Fig. 2, a block system diagram of bicycle control system 10 is illustrated in Fig. 1 in which bicycle operating device 12 is used to control at least one of bicycle electrical components BC. Bicycle control system 10 includes bicycle operating device 12 as described above and also includes signal communication device 14. Bicycle control system 10 also includes one or more bicycle electrical components BC. The signal communication device 14 is electrically connected to the bicycle operating device 12 by an electrical cord EC1. As explained below, the bicycle operating device 12 generates a control signal in response to the operation of the bicycle operating device 12 by the user. The control signal is transmitted to the signal communication device 14 via the cable EC1. Preferably, power line communication (PLC) is used to carry data on the conductors of cable EC1, and conductors of cable EC1 are also used to simultaneously transmit power.

電力線通訊使用獨特識別資訊,像是被指定給每一個電裝置(亦即,自行車操作裝置12及訊號通訊裝置14)的獨特識別符。較佳地,訊號通訊裝置14設有記憶體,藉由通訊所儲存的資訊能被從記憶體讀取,且獨特識別資訊被儲存在記憶體中。訊號通訊裝置14還能經由無線訊號WS或電線(electrical wire)EC2而與自行車電組件BC中的至少一者通訊,如以下所解釋。如果訊號通訊裝置14與自行車電組件BC無線地通訊,則訊號通訊裝置14能設有其自己的電源(例如,電池)。Power line communication uses unique identification information, such as a unique identifier assigned to each of the electrical devices (i.e., bicycle operating device 12 and signal communication device 14). Preferably, the signal communication device 14 is provided with a memory, and the information stored by the communication can be read from the memory, and the unique identification information is stored in the memory. The signal communication device 14 can also communicate with at least one of the bicycle electrical components BC via a wireless signal WS or electrical wire EC2, as explained below. If the signal communication device 14 is in wireless communication with the bicycle electrical component BC, the signal communication device 14 can be provided with its own power source (e.g., battery).

另一方面,如果訊號通訊裝置14被接線至自行車電組件BC,則電源亦能被使用作為用於一個或更多個自行車電組件BC的電源。例如,如圖1及圖2中所見,主電力供應器PS能被設置在自行車1上,以用來將電力供應至自行車電組件BC中的每一者及訊號通訊裝置14。因此,自行車電組件BC及訊號通訊裝置14各被建構成具有PLC模組,以經由將自行車電組件BC及訊號通訊裝置14互連的電纜線而施行電力線通訊(PLC)。替代地,電線EC2能具有專用的訊號線(例如,專用的導體),以用來攜載控制訊號。On the other hand, if the signal communication device 14 is wired to the bicycle electrical component BC, the power source can also be used as a power source for one or more bicycle electrical components BC. For example, as seen in Figures 1 and 2, a primary power supply PS can be placed on the bicycle 1 for supplying power to each of the bicycle electrical components BC and the signal communication device 14. Therefore, the bicycle electrical component BC and the signal communication device 14 are each constructed to have a PLC module for performing power line communication (PLC) via a cable interconnecting the bicycle electrical component BC and the signal communication device 14. Alternatively, the wire EC2 can have a dedicated signal line (eg, a dedicated conductor) for carrying the control signal.

現在參照圖3至圖6,自行車操作裝置12現在將被更詳細地討論。在所繪實施例中,自行車操作裝置12包括第一電操作單元16及第二電操作單元18。然而,對於熟習自行車領域技術者從此揭示將會明白的是,自行車操作裝置12如果有需要及/或想要的話能僅包括第一電操作單元16及第二電操作單元18中的一者。自行車操作裝置12包含底座構件20。底座構件20支撐第一電操作單元16及第二電操作單元18兩者。然而,底座構件20如果有需要及/或想要的話能被建構成僅支撐第一電操作單元16及第二電操作單元18中的一者。Referring now to Figures 3 through 6, bicycle operating device 12 will now be discussed in greater detail. In the depicted embodiment, bicycle operating device 12 includes a first electrical operating unit 16 and a second electrical operating unit 18. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the bicycle art that the bicycle operating device 12 can include only one of the first electrical operating unit 16 and the second electrical operating unit 18 if needed and/or desired. The bicycle operating device 12 includes a base member 20. The base member 20 supports both the first electrical operating unit 16 and the second electrical operating unit 18. However, the base member 20 can be constructed to support only one of the first electrical operating unit 16 and the second electrical operating unit 18, if desired and/or desired.

基本地,自行車操作裝置12的第一電操作單元16包含切換器(switch)22、操作構件24、接觸構件26及移動結構28。自行車操作裝置12還包含被建構成被安裝於自行車車把H的自行車車把安裝結構30。自行車車把安裝結構30被可移除地安裝於底座構件20,如以下所解釋。在此,自行車車把安裝結構30包括固定孔30a。自行車車把安裝結構30藉由固定螺栓FB而被固定於自行車車把H,如圖3中所見。以此方式,騎士能從自行車車把H容易地操作自行車操作裝置12的操作構件24。自行車把安裝結構30不受限於所繪示的自行車車把安裝結構。例如,自行車車把安裝結構能為鉸接的管件鉗夾器或非鉸接的管件鉗夾器。Basically, the first electrical operating unit 16 of the bicycle operating device 12 includes a switch 22, an operating member 24, a contact member 26, and a moving structure 28. The bicycle operating device 12 also includes a bicycle handlebar mounting structure 30 that is constructed to be mounted to the bicycle handlebar H. The bicycle handlebar mounting structure 30 is removably mounted to the base member 20 as explained below. Here, the bicycle handlebar mounting structure 30 includes a fixing hole 30a. The bicycle handlebar mounting structure 30 is fixed to the bicycle handlebar H by a fixing bolt FB, as seen in FIG. In this way, the knight can easily operate the operating member 24 of the bicycle operating device 12 from the bicycle handlebar H. The bicycle handle mounting structure 30 is not limited to the illustrated bicycle handlebar mounting structure. For example, the bicycle handlebar mounting structure can be a hinged pipe clamp or a non-hinged pipe clamp.

自行車操作裝置10的第二電操作單元18被安裝在底座構件20上,但相對於第一電操作單元16為倒轉。因此,第二電操作單元18經由第一電操作單元16而被安裝於自行車車把H。類似於第一電操作單元16,自行車操作裝置10的第二電操作單元18包含附加切換器32、附加操作構件34、附加接觸構件36及附加移動結構38。The second electrical operating unit 18 of the bicycle operating device 10 is mounted on the base member 20 but is inverted relative to the first electrical operating unit 16. Therefore, the second electric operating unit 18 is mounted to the bicycle handlebar H via the first electric operating unit 16. Similar to the first electrical operating unit 16, the second electrical operating unit 18 of the bicycle operating device 10 includes an additional switch 32, additional operating members 34, additional contact members 36, and additional moving structures 38.

基本地,操作構件24被可移動地支撐在底座構件20上。同樣地,附加操作構件34被可移動地支撐在底座構件20上。因此,使用者能相對於底座構件20選擇地移動操作構件24及/或附加操作構件34,以經由切換器22及/或附加切換器32而輸出一個或更多個控制訊號。更特別地,切換器22及接觸構件26回應於操作構件24的移動而藉由移動結構28而相對於彼此被移動,使得接觸構件26接觸切換器22,以啟動切換器22及將控制訊號輸出至訊號通訊裝置14。如圖2中所見,切換器22藉由電纜線EC1而被電連接於訊號通訊裝置14。以此方式,操作構件24的移動將切換器22操作來輸出控制訊號,以用來操作自行車電組件BC中的一者。控制訊號藉由使用電纜線EC1中的電力線通訊(PLC)或專用訊號線而經由電纜線EC1而被從切換器22傳送至訊號通訊裝置14。Basically, the operating member 24 is movably supported on the base member 20. Likewise, the additional operating member 34 is movably supported on the base member 20. Accordingly, the user can selectively move the operating member 24 and/or the additional operating member 34 relative to the base member 20 to output one or more control signals via the switch 22 and/or the additional switch 32. More specifically, the switch 22 and the contact member 26 are moved relative to each other by the moving structure 28 in response to the movement of the operating member 24 such that the contact member 26 contacts the switch 22 to activate the switch 22 and output the control signal To the signal communication device 14. As seen in Figure 2, the switch 22 is electrically coupled to the signal communication device 14 via a cable EC1. In this manner, movement of the operating member 24 operates the switch 22 to output a control signal for operating one of the bicycle electrical components BC. The control signal is transmitted from the switch 22 to the signal communication device 14 via the cable EC1 by using a power line communication (PLC) or a dedicated signal line in the cable EC1.

同樣地,附加切換器32及附加接觸構件36回應於附加操作構件34的移動而藉由附加移動結構38而相對於彼此被移動,使得附加接觸構件36接觸附加切換器32,以啟動附加切換器32及將控制訊號輸出至訊號通訊裝置14。如圖2中所見,附加切換器32藉由電纜線EC1而被電連接於訊號通訊裝置14。以此方式,附加操作構件34的移動將附加切換器32操作來輸出控制訊號,以用來操作自行車電組件BC中的一者。控制訊號藉由使用電纜線EC1中的電力線通訊(PLC)或專用訊號線而經由電纜線EC1而被從附加切換器32傳送至訊號通訊裝置14。Likewise, the additional switch 32 and the additional contact member 36 are moved relative to each other by the additional moving structure 38 in response to movement of the additional operating member 34 such that the additional contact member 36 contacts the additional switch 32 to activate the additional switch 32 and outputting the control signal to the signal communication device 14. As seen in Figure 2, the additional switch 32 is electrically coupled to the signal communication device 14 by a cable EC1. In this manner, movement of the additional operating member 34 operates the additional switch 32 to output a control signal for operating one of the bicycle electrical components BC. The control signal is transmitted from the additional switch 32 to the signal communication device 14 via the cable EC1 by using a power line communication (PLC) or a dedicated signal line in the cable EC1.

第一電操作單元16及第二電操作單元18彼此相同,除了操作構件24及附加操作構件34的位置是偏位的且第一電操作單元16及第二電操作單元18的其餘部件是彼此的鏡像。由於第一電操作單元16及第二電操作單元18的基本構造是相同的,第二電操作單元18將不會在此詳細地討論及繪示。而是,第一電操作單元16適用於第二電操作單元18,除非另外指出並非如此。The first electric operating unit 16 and the second electric operating unit 18 are identical to each other except that the positions of the operating member 24 and the additional operating member 34 are offset and the remaining components of the first and second electric operating units 16 and 18 are Mirror. Since the basic configurations of the first electrical operating unit 16 and the second electrical operating unit 18 are the same, the second electrical operating unit 18 will not be discussed and illustrated in detail herein. Rather, the first electrical operating unit 16 is adapted to the second electrical operating unit 18 unless otherwise indicated.

在所繪實施例中,底座構件20是由數個部件所形成的剛性構件。在此,底座構件20包括第一主支撐件40、第二主支撐件42、第一支撐軸桿44及第二支撐軸桿46。第一主支撐件40及第二主支撐件42藉由第一支撐軸桿44及第二支撐軸桿46而彼此隔開。切換器22及附加切換器32藉由在第一主支撐件40與第二主支撐件42之間延伸的支撐軸桿48而被可樞轉地支撐在第一主支撐件40與第二主支撐件42之間。以此方式,切換器22被支撐在底座構件20上,且附加切換器32被支撐在底座構件20上。雖然在所繪實施例中,切換器22及附加切換器32被可樞轉地支撐在底座構件20上,對於熟習自行車領域技術者從此揭示將會明白的是,切換器22可相對於底座構件20不可移動地安裝在以下所討論的“備妥位置”。In the depicted embodiment, base member 20 is a rigid member formed from several components. Here, the base member 20 includes a first main support 40, a second main support 42, a first support shaft 44, and a second support shaft 46. The first main support member 40 and the second main support member 42 are separated from each other by the first support shaft 44 and the second support shaft 46. The switch 22 and the additional switch 32 are pivotally supported by the first main support 40 and the second main by a support shaft 48 extending between the first main support 40 and the second main support 42 Between the supports 42. In this manner, the switch 22 is supported on the base member 20 and the additional switch 32 is supported on the base member 20. Although in the depicted embodiment, the switch 22 and the additional switch 32 are pivotally supported on the base member 20, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art of bicycle use that the switch 22 can be relative to the base member. 20 is not immovably installed in the "ready location" discussed below.

現在參照圖3至圖6,操作構件24藉由第一支撐軸桿44的第一端44a而被可樞轉地支撐在第一主支撐件40上,而附加操作構件34藉由第一支撐軸桿44的第二端44b而被可樞轉地支撐在第二主支撐件42上。特別地,操作構件24藉由固定螺母50而被可樞轉地維持在第一支撐軸桿44的第一端44a上,而附加操作構件34藉由固定螺母52而被可樞轉地維持在第一支撐軸桿44的第二端44b上。第一支撐軸桿44形成操作構件24及附加操作構件34能被樞轉所繞著的主操作軸線A1。以此方式,操作構件24以可從位置(圖3至圖14)移動至操作位置(圖15至圖24)的方式被支撐在底座構件20上。同樣地,以此方式,附加操作構件34以可從靜置位置(圖3至圖6)移動至操作位置(未示出)的方式被支撐在底座構件20上。在此所使用的用語“備妥位置”是指部件(例如,操作構件24或34)維持靜止不動之狀態,而不需使用者在對應於靜置位置的此狀態下固持此部件。Referring now to Figures 3-6, the operating member 24 is pivotally supported on the first main support 40 by the first end 44a of the first support shaft 44, while the additional operating member 34 is supported by the first support The second end 44b of the shaft 44 is pivotally supported on the second main support 42. In particular, the operating member 24 is pivotally retained on the first end 44a of the first support shaft 44 by the retaining nut 50, while the additional operating member 34 is pivotally retained by the retaining nut 52. The first support shaft 44 is on the second end 44b. The first support shaft 44 forms a main operating axis A1 around which the operating member 24 and the additional operating member 34 can be pivoted. In this manner, the operating member 24 is supported on the base member 20 in a manner movable from a position (Figs. 3 to 14) to an operating position (Figs. 15 to 24). Also, in this manner, the additional operating member 34 is supported on the base member 20 in a manner movable from a rest position (Figs. 3 to 6) to an operating position (not shown). As used herein, the term "prepared position" means that the component (e.g., operating member 24 or 34) remains stationary, without the user having to hold the component in this state corresponding to the resting position.

較佳地,操作構件24被朝向靜置位置偏壓。偏壓元件54被設置在操作構件24與第一主支撐件40之間,以用來將操作構件24朝向靜置位置偏壓。當操作構件24在被從靜置位置移動至操作位置以後被釋放時,一旦操作構件24由使用者所釋放,第一操作構件24自動地返回至靜置位置。在此,偏壓元件54是螺旋扭力彈簧,其具有被設置在操作構件24的孔中的第一端54a、及被設置在第一主支撐件40的孔中的第二端54b。以此方式,操作構件24被偏壓來抵頂第一主支撐件40的抵靠部40a,以建立操作構件24的靜置位置。附加操作構件34以如同操作構件24的方式亦被朝向靜置位置偏壓。因此,操作構件24及附加操作構件34是在被釋放時自動地返回至靜置位置之觸發操作構件。Preferably, the operating member 24 is biased toward the rest position. A biasing element 54 is disposed between the operating member 24 and the first main support 40 for biasing the operating member 24 toward the rest position. When the operating member 24 is released after being moved from the rest position to the operating position, the first operating member 24 automatically returns to the rest position once the operating member 24 is released by the user. Here, the biasing member 54 is a helical torsion spring having a first end 54a disposed in the bore of the operating member 24 and a second end 54b disposed in the bore of the first main support 40. In this manner, the operating member 24 is biased against the abutment 40a of the first main support 40 to establish a rest position of the operating member 24. The additional operating member 34 is also biased toward the rest position in a manner similar to the operating member 24. Therefore, the operating member 24 and the additional operating member 34 are trigger operating members that automatically return to the rest position when released.

在所繪實施例中,如圖5及圖6中所見,操作構件24包括安裝部件24a及使用者操作部件24b。使用者操作部件24b藉由一對的螺栓56而被可調整地附接於安裝部件24a,此一對的螺栓56能選擇地螺合至被形成在安裝部件24a中的複數個孔24a1中的兩個中。以此方式,使用者操作部件24b的角位置能相對於安裝部件24a被調整。類似地,附加操作構件34具有安裝部件34a及使用者操作部件34b。使用者操作部件34b藉由一對的螺栓58而被可調整地附接於安裝部件34a,此一對的螺栓58能選擇地螺合至被形成在安裝部件34a中的複數個孔34a1中的兩個中。以此方式,使用者操作部件34b的角位置能相對於安裝部件34a被調整。使用者操作部件24b及34b被建構成形成繞著主操作軸線A1樞轉的使用者操作桿件。In the depicted embodiment, as seen in Figures 5 and 6, the operating member 24 includes a mounting member 24a and a user operating member 24b. The user operating member 24b is adjustably attached to the mounting member 24a by a pair of bolts 56 that are selectively screwed into the plurality of holes 24a1 formed in the mounting member 24a. Two of them. In this way, the angular position of the user operating member 24b can be adjusted relative to the mounting member 24a. Similarly, the additional operating member 34 has a mounting member 34a and a user operating member 34b. The user operating member 34b is adjustably attached to the mounting member 34a by a pair of bolts 58 that are selectively screwed into the plurality of holes 34a1 formed in the mounting member 34a. Two of them. In this way, the angular position of the user operating member 34b can be adjusted relative to the mounting member 34a. The user operating members 24b and 34b are constructed to form a user operating lever that pivots about a main operating axis A1.

在所繪實施例中,附加操作構件34具有如同操作構件24的基本構造。特別地,附加操作構件34包括安裝部件34a及使用者操作部件34b。使用者操作部件34b被可調整地附接於安裝部件34a至使用者操作部件34b相對於安裝部件34a的角位置。由於附加操作構件34具有如同操作構件24的基本構造,附加操作構件34將不會被詳細地討論。In the depicted embodiment, the additional operating member 34 has a basic configuration as the operating member 24. In particular, the additional operating member 34 includes a mounting member 34a and a user operating member 34b. The user operating member 34b is adjustably attached to the angular position of the mounting member 34a to the user operating member 34b relative to the mounting member 34a. Since the additional operating member 34 has the same basic configuration as the operating member 24, the additional operating member 34 will not be discussed in detail.

自行車車把安裝結構30藉由固定螺母60而被安裝於第一支撐軸桿44的第一端44a,且藉由一對的固定螺釘62而被安裝於第一主支撐件40。因此,自行車車把安裝結構30能依所需要被卸除及再附接於底座構件20。例如,如果自行車操作裝置12要被安裝於自行車車把H的左側,則自行車車把安裝結構30被從第一支撐軸桿44的第一端44a及第一主支撐件40卸除,且第一支撐軸桿44被為倒轉。然後,附加自行車車把安裝結構30'(如圖6中所示)能藉由使用固定螺母60及二個附加螺釘64而被附接於第一支撐軸桿44的第一端44a(已經被倒轉)及第二主支撐件42。The bicycle handlebar mounting structure 30 is mounted to the first end 44a of the first support shaft 44 by a fixing nut 60, and is attached to the first main support 40 by a pair of fixing screws 62. Thus, the bicycle handlebar mounting structure 30 can be removed and reattached to the base member 20 as desired. For example, if the bicycle operating device 12 is to be mounted to the left side of the bicycle handlebar H, the bicycle handlebar mounting structure 30 is removed from the first end 44a of the first support shaft 44 and the first main support 40, and A support shaft 44 is inverted. The additional bicycle handlebar mounting structure 30' (shown in Figure 6) can then be attached to the first end 44a of the first support shaft 44 by the use of a retaining nut 60 and two additional screws 64 (already Inverted) and the second main support 42.

基本地,切換器22是由接觸構件26所啟動的電接觸切換器。更確切地,接觸構件26接觸且按壓切換器22的柱塞22a,以啟動切換器22及輸出控制訊號。然而,切換器22不受限於柱塞式接觸切換器。而是,切換器22能具有藉由接觸而被啟動之其他組態。不論如何,訊號通訊裝置14被連接於切換器22。類似地,附加切換器32是由附加接觸構件36所啟動的電接觸切換器。在此,在所繪實施例中,切換器22及附加切換器32相同且皆將控制訊號輸出至訊號通訊裝置14。Basically, the switch 22 is an electrical contact switch activated by the contact member 26. More specifically, the contact member 26 contacts and presses the plunger 22a of the switch 22 to activate the switch 22 and output a control signal. However, the switch 22 is not limited to a ram contact switch. Rather, switch 22 can have other configurations that are activated by contact. In any event, the signal communication device 14 is connected to the switch 22. Similarly, the additional switch 32 is an electrical contact switch activated by an additional contact member 36. Here, in the illustrated embodiment, the switch 22 and the additional switch 32 are identical and both output control signals to the signal communication device 14.

在所繪實施例中,如圖13至圖15中所見,切換器22藉由支撐本體70而被可移動地支撐在底座構件20上,支撐本體70被建構成回應於操作構件24所作的移動而將切換器22朝向接觸構件26移動。同樣地,附加切換器32藉由附加支撐本體72而被可移動地支撐在底座構件20上,附加支撐本體72被建構成回應於附加操作構件34所作的移動而將附加切換器32朝向附加接觸構件36移動。在此,支撐本體70及72被可樞轉地安裝在支撐軸桿48上,支撐軸桿48在第一主支撐件40與第二主支撐件42之間延伸。支撐軸桿48界定樞轉軸線A2。偏壓元件74被設置在支撐本體70與第一主支撐件40之間,以將支撐本體70朝向初始位置偏壓,初始位置在所繪實施例中亦為靜置位置。類似地,偏壓元件74被設置在附加支撐本體72與第二主支撐件42之間,以將附加支撐本體72朝向初始位置偏壓。偏壓元件74在所繪實施例中是壓縮彈簧。然而,其他類型的偏壓元件能被使用。替代地,偏壓元件74能被省略,因為在操作構件24及附加操作構件34處於它們的初始或靜置位置時,切換器22及附加切換器32分別與接觸構件26及附加接觸構件36隔開。In the depicted embodiment, as seen in Figures 13-15, the switch 22 is movably supported on the base member 20 by a support body 70 that is configured to respond to movements of the operating member 24. The switch 22 is moved toward the contact member 26. Similarly, the additional switch 32 is movably supported on the base member 20 by the additional support body 72 that is configured to direct the additional switch 32 toward additional contact in response to movement by the additional operating member 34. Member 36 moves. Here, the support bodies 70 and 72 are pivotally mounted on a support shaft 48 that extends between the first main support 40 and the second main support 42. The support shaft 48 defines a pivot axis A2. A biasing element 74 is disposed between the support body 70 and the first main support 40 to bias the support body 70 toward an initial position, which is also a rest position in the depicted embodiment. Similarly, a biasing element 74 is disposed between the additional support body 72 and the second main support 42 to bias the additional support body 72 toward the initial position. The biasing element 74 is a compression spring in the depicted embodiment. However, other types of biasing elements can be used. Alternatively, the biasing element 74 can be omitted because the switch 22 and the additional switch 32 are separated from the contact member 26 and the additional contact member 36, respectively, when the operating member 24 and the additional operating member 34 are in their initial or rest positions. open.

如以上所提,切換器22及接觸構件26回應於操作構件24從靜置位置至操作位置的移動而被朝向彼此移動,以用來啟動切換器22。特別地,移動結構28被建構成回應於操作構件24的移動而將切換器22及接觸構件26相對於彼此移動,使得接觸構件26接觸切換器22。更確切地,接觸構件26在操作構件24的移動以前於初始位置與切換器22隔開。然後,當操作構件24被從靜置位置移動至中間操作位置(其少於完全操作位置)時,切換器22先被朝向接觸構件26樞轉至備妥位置。換言之,由於操作構件24至中間操作位置的此第一部分移動,切換器22被移動至鄰近於接觸構件26的備妥位置。接觸構件26在未啟動切換器22的情形下於備妥位置接觸切換器22。然後,在切換器22處於備妥位置以後,移動結構28被建構成將接觸構件26移動遠離切換器22,且然後將接觸構件26朝向切換器22移動回去。特別地,操作構件24從中間操作位置至完全操作位置的進一步移動導致接觸構件26被從初始位置移動遠離切換器22而至傾斜位置,然後被朝向切換器22移動回去至切換器22被啟動的操作位置。以此方式,接觸構件26以足夠的力擊觸切換器22,以啟動切換器22及輸出控制訊號。較佳地,接觸構件26被配置成在操作位置接觸切換器22,以產生聲音。As mentioned above, the switch 22 and the contact member 26 are moved toward each other in response to movement of the operating member 24 from the rest position to the operating position for activating the switch 22. In particular, the moving structure 28 is configured to move the switch 22 and the contact member 26 relative to one another in response to movement of the operating member 24 such that the contact member 26 contacts the switch 22. More specifically, the contact member 26 is spaced from the switcher 22 in the initial position prior to the movement of the operating member 24. Then, when the operating member 24 is moved from the rest position to the intermediate operating position (which is less than the full operating position), the switch 22 is first pivoted toward the contact member 26 to the ready position. In other words, as the first portion of the operating member 24 to the intermediate operating position moves, the switch 22 is moved to a ready position adjacent to the contact member 26. The contact member 26 contacts the switch 22 at a ready position without the switch 22 being activated. Then, after the switch 22 is in the ready position, the moving structure 28 is configured to move the contact member 26 away from the switch 22 and then move the contact member 26 back toward the switch 22. In particular, further movement of the operating member 24 from the intermediate operating position to the fully operational position causes the contact member 26 to be moved away from the initial position away from the switch 22 to the tilted position and then moved back toward the switch 22 until the switch 22 is activated. Operating position. In this manner, the contact member 26 strikes the switch 22 with sufficient force to activate the switch 22 and output control signals. Preferably, the contact member 26 is configured to contact the switch 22 in an operative position to produce sound.

如圖8及圖9中所見,切換器22朝向接觸構件26的第一移動由操作構件24及支撐本體70所完成,操作構件24包括凸輪及沿著凸輪移動的凸輪從動件中的一者,且支撐本體70包括凸輪及沿著凸輪移動的凸輪從動件中的另一者。在所繪實施例中,操作構件24包括凸輪76,且支撐本體70包括凸輪從動件78。較佳地,凸輪從動件78包括滾子78a。滾子78a回應於操作構件24的移動而相對於操作構件24被移動,以回應於操作構件24的移動而將切換器22移動至鄰近於接觸構件26的備妥位置。當操作構件24處於靜置位置時,切換器22及接觸構件26處於初始位置。接觸構件26在操作構件24的移動以前於初始位置與切換器22隔開。As seen in Figures 8 and 9, the first movement of the switch 22 toward the contact member 26 is accomplished by the operating member 24 and the support body 70, the operating member 24 including one of a cam and a cam follower that moves along the cam. And the support body 70 includes the other of the cam and the cam follower that moves along the cam. In the depicted embodiment, the operating member 24 includes a cam 76 and the support body 70 includes a cam follower 78. Preferably, the cam follower 78 includes a roller 78a. The roller 78a is moved relative to the operating member 24 in response to movement of the operating member 24 to move the switch 22 to a ready position adjacent to the contact member 26 in response to movement of the operating member 24. When the operating member 24 is in the rest position, the switch 22 and the contact member 26 are in the initial position. The contact member 26 is spaced from the switcher 22 at an initial position prior to the movement of the operating member 24.

類似地,附加切換器32及附加接觸構件36回應於附加操作構件34從靜置位置至操作位置的移動而被朝向彼此移動,以用來啟動切換器22。特別地,附加移動結構38被建構成回應於附加操作構件34所作的移動而將附加切換器32及附加接觸構件36相對於彼此移動,使得附加接觸構件36接觸附加切換器32。更確切地,如圖4及圖6中所見,附加操作構件34包括附加凸輪80,且附加支撐本體72包括附加凸輪從動件82。較佳地,附加凸輪從動件82包括滾子82a,滾子82a回應於附加操作構件34的移動而沿著附加凸輪80行進,以回應於附加操作構件34的移動而將附加切換器32移動至鄰近於附加接觸構件36的備妥位置。由附加操作構件34所作之附加切換器32及附加接觸構件36的移動與由操作構件24所作之切換器22及接觸構件26的移動相同。因此,為了簡潔起見,由附加操作構件34所作之附加切換器32及附加接觸構件36的移動將不會被重複描述。Similarly, the additional switch 32 and the additional contact member 36 are moved toward each other in response to movement of the additional operating member 34 from the rest position to the operating position for activating the switch 22. In particular, the additional moving structure 38 is configured to move the additional switch 32 and the additional contact member 36 relative to one another in response to movement by the additional operating member 34 such that the additional contact member 36 contacts the additional switch 32. More specifically, as seen in Figures 4 and 6, the additional operating member 34 includes an additional cam 80 and the additional support body 72 includes an additional cam follower 82. Preferably, the additional cam follower 82 includes a roller 82a that travels along the additional cam 80 in response to movement of the additional operating member 34 to move the additional switch 32 in response to movement of the additional operating member 34. To a suitable location adjacent to the additional contact member 36. The movement of the additional switch 32 and the additional contact member 36 by the additional operating member 34 is the same as the movement of the switch 22 and the contact member 26 by the operating member 24. Therefore, for the sake of brevity, the movement of the additional switch 32 and the additional contact member 36 by the additional operating member 34 will not be repeatedly described.

現在參照圖9至圖11,接觸構件26及附加接觸構件36將被更詳細地討論。接觸構件26被支撐在底座構件20上。同樣地,附加接觸構件36被支撐在底座構件20上。特別地,接觸構件26被可移動地支撐在底座構件20的第一主支撐件40上,而附加接觸構件36被可移動地支撐在底座構件20的第二主支撐件42上。更確切地,接觸構件26藉由樞轉軸桿90而被可樞轉地支撐在第一主支撐件40上,而附加接觸構件36藉由附加樞轉軸桿92而被可樞轉地支撐在第二主支撐件42上(參圖5)。如以下所解釋,接觸構件26藉由朝向切換器22而被偏壓,以建立切換器22的初始位置,且附加接觸構件36藉由朝向附加切換器32而被偏壓,以建立附加切換器32的初始位置。Referring now to Figures 9-11, contact member 26 and additional contact member 36 will be discussed in greater detail. The contact member 26 is supported on the base member 20. Likewise, the additional contact member 36 is supported on the base member 20. In particular, the contact member 26 is movably supported on the first main support 40 of the base member 20, while the additional contact member 36 is movably supported on the second main support 42 of the base member 20. More specifically, the contact member 26 is pivotally supported on the first main support 40 by the pivoting shaft 90, while the additional contact member 36 is pivotally supported by the additional pivoting shaft 92. Two main support members 42 (see Fig. 5). As explained below, the contact member 26 is biased toward the switch 22 to establish the initial position of the switch 22, and the additional contact member 36 is biased toward the additional switch 32 to establish an additional switch The initial position of 32.

現在,參照圖11及圖12,形成移動結構28的部件將被更詳細地討論。移動結構28及附加移動結構38彼此相同,但附加移動結構38相對於移動結構28被倒轉。因此,形成附加移動結構38的部件將不會在此被詳細地討論或繪示。而是,附加移動結構38的部件、組態及操作能從移動結構28的說明來瞭解。Referring now to Figures 11 and 12, the components forming the moving structure 28 will be discussed in greater detail. The moving structure 28 and the additional moving structure 38 are identical to one another, but the additional moving structure 38 is inverted relative to the moving structure 28. Accordingly, the components that form the additional moving structure 38 will not be discussed or illustrated in detail herein. Rather, the components, configuration, and operation of the additional mobile structure 38 can be understood from the description of the mobile structure 28.

在所繪示實施例中,如圖12中所見,移動結構28包括卡定機構(clicking mechanism)96。卡定機構96通知使用者操作構件24已經被移動而到達操作位置(其使切換器產生用來操作自行車電組件BC中的一者的控制訊號)之時候。基本地,卡定機構96具有第一部件98,第一部件98被可移動地配置,以在操作構件24從靜置位置移動至操作位置時相對於操作構件24移動。卡定機構96還具有被設置在操作構件24上的至少一個突出部。至少一個突出部回應於操作構件24的移動而接觸第一部件98並將第一部件98繞著第一樞轉軸線P1樞轉。In the illustrated embodiment, as seen in FIG. 12, the moving structure 28 includes a clicking mechanism 96. The locking mechanism 96 informs the user when the operating member 24 has been moved to the operating position (which causes the switch to generate a control signal for operating one of the bicycle electrical components BC). Basically, the locking mechanism 96 has a first component 98 that is movably configured to move relative to the operating member 24 as the operating member 24 is moved from the rest position to the operating position. The locking mechanism 96 also has at least one protrusion that is disposed on the operating member 24. The at least one projection contacts the first member 98 in response to movement of the operating member 24 and pivots the first member 98 about the first pivot axis P1.

在所繪實施例中,至少一個突出部包括第一突出部100及第二突出部102。當操作構件24處於靜置位置時,第一突出部100比第二突出部102更接近第一部件98。第一突出部100具有第一高度。第二突出部102具有與第一高度不同的第二高度。在此,第二高度長於第一高度。藉由第一突出部100及第二突出部102具有不同的高度,使用者較能分辨兩個操作位置。In the depicted embodiment, the at least one protrusion includes a first protrusion 100 and a second protrusion 102. The first protrusion 100 is closer to the first part 98 than the second protrusion 102 when the operating member 24 is in the rest position. The first protrusion 100 has a first height. The second protrusion 102 has a second height that is different from the first height. Here, the second height is longer than the first height. Since the first protrusion 100 and the second protrusion 102 have different heights, the user can distinguish the two operating positions.

第一突出部100及第二突出部102被設置在操作構件24的安裝部件24a,以用來與第一部件98合作來移動接觸構件26,如以下所討論。雖然第一突出部100及第二突出部102被設置在被固定於操作構件24的安裝部件24a之板狀構件上,從此揭示將會明白的是,第一突出部100及第二突出部102能被與操作構件24一體地形成。如以上所提,操作構件24包括第一突出部100及第二突出部102。然而,替代地,操作構件24僅須包括至少一個突出部,或者操作構件24能包括超過兩個突出部。不論如何,突出部的數目將指出能以操作裝置12達成的操作位置的數目。The first protrusion 100 and the second protrusion 102 are disposed on the mounting member 24a of the operating member 24 for cooperation with the first member 98 to move the contact member 26, as discussed below. Although the first projecting portion 100 and the second projecting portion 102 are provided on the plate-like member that is fixed to the mounting member 24a of the operating member 24, it will be apparent from the disclosure that the first projecting portion 100 and the second projecting portion 102 are 102 It can be formed integrally with the operating member 24. As mentioned above, the operating member 24 includes a first protrusion 100 and a second protrusion 102. However, alternatively, the operating member 24 only has to include at least one protrusion, or the operating member 24 can include more than two protrusions. In any event, the number of protrusions will indicate the number of operational positions that can be achieved with the operating device 12.

在所繪實施例中,如圖11及圖12中所見,卡定機構96還包括第二部件104,第二部件104被繞著第一樞轉軸線P1可樞轉地安裝於底座構件20的第一主支撐件40。更確切地,第二部件104藉由樞轉軸桿90而被可樞轉地安裝於第一主支撐件40,樞轉軸桿90亦將接觸構件26可樞轉地支撐在第一主支撐件40上。因此,樞轉軸桿90界定第一樞轉軸線P1。第一部件98被繞著第二樞轉軸線P2可樞轉地安裝於第二部件104。因此,第一部件98被繞著第一樞轉軸線P1可樞轉地安裝,且第一部件98亦被繞著第二樞轉軸線P2可樞轉地安裝。確切地,樞轉軸桿106將第一部件98可樞轉地附接至第二部件104。接觸構件26亦被附接於樞轉軸桿106。樞轉軸桿106穿過第一主支撐件40中的弧形槽縫40a,使得接觸構件26位在第一主支撐件40的一側上,且第一部件98及第二部件102位在第一主支撐件40的另一側上。以此方式,接觸構件26及第二部件104在樞轉軸桿90上繞著第一樞轉軸線P1一起樞轉。因此,卡定機構96包括接觸構件26。此外,第二部件104可被省略,因為第一部件98經由樞轉軸桿106而被安裝於接觸構件26。以此方式,接觸構件26被繞著第一樞轉軸線P1可樞轉地安裝,以與第一部件98一起移動。不論哪種情況,第一部件98及接觸構件26被配置成在操作構件24從靜置位置朝向操作位置移動時藉由至少一個突出部(亦即,第一突出部100及/或第二突出部102)接觸第一部件98而繞著第一樞轉軸線P1樞轉,以將接觸構件26從初始位置移動遠離切換器22且然後朝向切換器22移動至操作位置。如果操作構件24僅從靜置位置部分地操作而使得第一部件98僅接觸第一突出部100且然後移動超過第一突出部100,則切換器22藉由接觸構件26而僅***作一次。結果,切換器22被建構成在接觸構件26於操作位置接觸切換器22時產生第一訊號傳送(亦即,控制訊號)。在此點,使用者能將操作構件24返回至靜置位置,或者能將操作構件24移動更遠離靜置位置至完全操作位置,使得第一部件98接觸第二突出部102且然後移動超過第二突出部102。結果,切換器22被接觸構件26操作第二次,以產生第二訊號傳送(亦即,控制訊號)。在操作構件24被從靜置位置移動至完全操作位置之案例中,第一部件98及接觸構件26被配置成在操作構件24以單一個前進行程從靜置位置朝向操作位置移動時藉由至少一個突出部(亦即,所繪示實施例中的第一突出部100及第二突出部102兩者)接觸第一部件98而繞著第一樞轉軸線P1樞轉,以將接觸構件26移動遠離切換器22且然後朝向切換器22移動以接觸切換器22來在操作構件24的中間操作位置處產生第一訊號傳送,且以再次將接觸構件26移動遠離切換器22且然後朝向切換器22移動以接觸切換器22來在操作構件24的操作位置處產生第二訊號傳送。In the depicted embodiment, as seen in Figures 11 and 12, the locking mechanism 96 further includes a second member 104 that is pivotally mounted to the base member 20 about a first pivot axis P1. The first main support 40. More specifically, the second member 104 is pivotally mounted to the first main support 40 by pivoting the shaft 90, which also pivotally supports the contact member 26 at the first main support 40. on. Thus, the pivoting shaft 90 defines a first pivot axis P1. The first component 98 is pivotally mounted to the second component 104 about a second pivot axis P2. Thus, the first component 98 is pivotally mounted about the first pivot axis P1 and the first component 98 is also pivotally mounted about the second pivot axis P2. Specifically, the pivoting shaft 106 pivotally attaches the first component 98 to the second component 104. Contact member 26 is also attached to pivoting shaft 106. The pivoting shaft 106 passes through the arcuate slot 40a in the first main support 40 such that the contact member 26 is on one side of the first main support 40 and the first member 98 and the second member 102 are in the first On the other side of a main support 40. In this manner, the contact member 26 and the second member 104 pivot together on the pivoting shaft 90 about the first pivot axis P1. Therefore, the locking mechanism 96 includes the contact member 26. Moreover, the second component 104 can be omitted because the first component 98 is mounted to the contact member 26 via the pivoting shaft 106. In this manner, the contact member 26 is pivotally mounted about the first pivot axis P1 to move with the first component 98. In either case, the first member 98 and the contact member 26 are configured to be at least one protrusion (ie, the first protrusion 100 and/or the second protrusion when the operation member 24 is moved from the rest position toward the operation position) The portion 102) contacts the first member 98 and pivots about the first pivot axis P1 to move the contact member 26 away from the switch 22 from the initial position and then toward the switch 22 to the operating position. If the operating member 24 is only partially operated from the rest position such that the first member 98 only contacts the first protrusion 100 and then moves beyond the first protrusion 100, the switch 22 is operated only once by the contact member 26. As a result, the switch 22 is constructed to produce a first signal transmission (i.e., control signal) when the contact member 26 contacts the switch 22 at the operational position. At this point, the user can return the operating member 24 to the rest position, or can move the operating member 24 further away from the rest position to the fully operational position such that the first member 98 contacts the second projection 102 and then moves past the first Two protrusions 102. As a result, the switch 22 is operated a second time by the contact member 26 to generate a second signal transmission (i.e., control signal). In the case where the operating member 24 is moved from the rest position to the fully operational position, the first member 98 and the contact member 26 are configured to be at least operated when the operating member 24 is moved from the rest position toward the operating position in a single forward stroke. A projection (i.e., both the first projection 100 and the second projection 102 in the illustrated embodiment) contacts the first member 98 and pivots about the first pivot axis P1 to bring the contact member 26 Moving away from the switch 22 and then moving toward the switch 22 to contact the switch 22 to generate a first signal transmission at an intermediate operational position of the operating member 24 and to move the contact member 26 away from the switch 22 again and then towards the switch 22 moves to contact the switch 22 to produce a second signal transmission at the operational position of the operating member 24.

第一偏壓元件108***作性地設置在第二部件104與第一主支撐件40之間,以將接觸構件26朝向切換器22偏壓且亦將第一部件98朝向操作構件24偏壓。特別地,第一偏壓元件108將偏壓力施加在第二部件104上,以偏壓接觸構件26、第一部件98及第二部件104,使得第一部件98部分地坐落在第一突出部100及第二突出部102的移動路徑上。換言之,由於第一部件98及第二部件104的此配置,當操作構件24從靜置位置朝向操作位置中的一者移動時,在第一突出部100及第二突出部102接觸第一部件98時,第一部件98及第二部件104作為一個單元一起移動。A first biasing element 108 is operatively disposed between the second component 104 and the first main support 40 to bias the contact member 26 toward the switch 22 and also bias the first component 98 toward the operating member 24. . In particular, the first biasing element 108 applies a biasing force on the second component 104 to bias the contact member 26, the first component 98 and the second component 104 such that the first component 98 is partially seated in the first projection 100 and the movement path of the second protrusion 102. In other words, due to this configuration of the first member 98 and the second member 104, when the operating member 24 moves from the rest position toward the one of the operating positions, the first protrusion 100 and the second protrusion 102 contact the first part. At 98 o'clock, the first member 98 and the second member 104 move together as a unit.

接觸構件26朝向切換器22的移動及第一部件98朝向操作構件24的移動藉由樞轉軸桿106在弧形槽縫40a內接觸第一主支撐件40而被限制。因此,接觸構件26的初始位置藉由第一偏壓元件108將樞轉軸桿106偏壓抵頂第一主支撐件40而被建立。在所繪實施例中,第一偏壓元件108是扭力彈簧,其具有被設置在樞轉軸桿106上的螺旋部。第一偏壓元件108的一端接觸第二部件104,而第一偏壓元件108的另一端接觸第一主支撐件40的一部分。Movement of the contact member 26 toward the switch 22 and movement of the first member 98 toward the operating member 24 are limited by the pivoting shaft 106 contacting the first main support 40 within the arcuate slot 40a. Accordingly, the initial position of the contact member 26 is established by the first biasing member 108 biasing the pivoting shaft 106 against the top primary support 40. In the depicted embodiment, the first biasing element 108 is a torsion spring having a helix disposed on the pivoting shaft 106. One end of the first biasing element 108 contacts the second component 104 and the other end of the first biasing element 108 contacts a portion of the first main support 40.

第二偏壓元件110***作性地設置在第一部件98與第二部件104之間。第二偏壓元件110將偏壓力施加在第一部件98上,以將第一部件98相對於第二部件104正常地維持在預定指向,使得第一部件98的抵靠部98a及第二部件104的抵靠部104a抵靠彼此。結果,當操作構件24從操作位置中的一者朝向靜置位置移動時,在第一突出部100及第二突出部102接觸第一部件98時,第一部件98僅相對於第二部件104移動。在所繪實施例中,第二偏壓元件110是扭力彈簧,其具有被設置在樞轉軸桿106上的螺旋部。第二偏壓元件110的一端接觸第一部件98,而第二偏壓元件110的另一端接觸第二部件104。The second biasing element 110 is operatively disposed between the first component 98 and the second component 104. The second biasing element 110 applies a biasing force on the first component 98 to normally maintain the first component 98 at a predetermined orientation relative to the second component 104 such that the abutment 98a and the second component of the first component 98 The abutting portions 104a of 104 abut each other. As a result, when the operating member 24 moves from one of the operating positions toward the rest position, the first member 98 is only relative to the second member 104 when the first protrusion 100 and the second protrusion 102 contact the first member 98. mobile. In the depicted embodiment, the second biasing element 110 is a torsion spring having a helix disposed on the pivoting shaft 106. One end of the second biasing element 110 contacts the first component 98 and the other end of the second biasing element 110 contacts the second component 104.

罩覆件112被安裝於第一主支撐件40,以保護卡定機構96的所選部件。罩覆件112藉由固定螺釘62而被安裝於第一主支撐件40,固定螺釘62亦被使用來將自行車車把安裝結構30附接於底座構件20。The cover member 112 is mounted to the first main support member 40 to protect selected components of the locking mechanism 96. The cover member 112 is mounted to the first main support member 40 by a set screw 62 that is also used to attach the bicycle handlebar mounting structure 30 to the base member 20.

現在參照圖13至圖24,操作構件24的操作被顯示,其中第一訊號傳送及第二訊號傳送被產生。起初,操作構件24處於靜置位置,且切換器22及接觸構件26皆處於接觸構件26與切換器22隔開之初始位置,如圖13及圖14中所見。因此,在操作構件24的初始操作的期間,凸輪從動件78的滾子78a首先沿著操作構件24的凸輪76從圖13及圖14中所示的靜置位置滾動至圖15及圖16中所見的部分操作或中間操作位置。由於操作構件24的此部分移動,切換器22及支撐本體70在支撐軸桿48上被繞著樞轉軸線A2樞轉,以致切換器22在未啟動切換器22的情形下移動至備妥位置,如圖15及圖16中所見。Referring now to Figures 13 through 24, the operation of the operating member 24 is displayed wherein a first signal transmission and a second signal transmission are generated. Initially, the operating member 24 is in a rest position, and both the switch 22 and the contact member 26 are in an initial position in which the contact member 26 is spaced from the switch 22, as seen in Figures 13 and 14. Therefore, during the initial operation of the operating member 24, the roller 78a of the cam follower 78 first rolls along the cam 76 of the operating member 24 from the rest position shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 to FIGS. 15 and 16. Part of the operation or intermediate operation position seen in . Due to the movement of this portion of the operating member 24, the switch 22 and the support body 70 are pivoted about the pivot axis A2 on the support shaft 48 such that the switch 22 moves to the ready position without the switch 22 being activated. As seen in Figure 15 and Figure 16.

當操作構件24移動更遠離靜置位置時,第一部件98接觸操作構件24的第一突出部100。由於第一部件98與第一突出部100之間的此接觸,當操作構件24朝向操作位置中的一者移動遠離靜置位置時,第一部件98被繞著第一樞轉軸線P1樞轉。確切地,當第一部件98行進越過第一突出部100時,第一部件98相對於第二部件104維持靜止不動,而接觸構件26、第一部件98及第二部件104皆繞著第一樞轉軸線P1一起樞轉。因此,接觸構件26被移動遠離處於備妥位置的切換器22,如圖17及圖18中所見。一旦第一部件98到達第一突出部100的自由端,接觸構件26處於傾斜位置。The first member 98 contacts the first protrusion 100 of the operating member 24 when the operating member 24 moves further away from the rest position. Due to this contact between the first component 98 and the first projection 100, the first component 98 is pivoted about the first pivot axis P1 as the operating member 24 moves away from the rest position toward one of the operating positions. . Specifically, when the first component 98 travels past the first protrusion 100, the first component 98 remains stationary relative to the second component 104, while the contact member 26, the first component 98, and the second component 104 all surround the first The pivot axis P1 pivots together. Thus, the contact member 26 is moved away from the switch 22 in the ready position, as seen in Figures 17 and 18. Once the first component 98 reaches the free end of the first projection 100, the contact member 26 is in an inclined position.

在接觸構件26行進離開第一突出部100的自由端以後,接觸構件26藉由偏壓元件108而被朝向切換器22快速地移動,以按壓切換器22的柱塞22a,如圖19及圖20中所見。由於接觸構件26按壓切換器22的柱塞22a,切換器22產生由訊號通訊裝置14所接收的第一訊號傳送。因此,當操作構件24從靜置位置朝向部分操作位置移動時,第一部件98接觸操作構件24的第一突出部100,以產生觸覺回饋反應。After the contact member 26 travels away from the free end of the first projection 100, the contact member 26 is rapidly moved toward the switch 22 by the biasing member 108 to press the plunger 22a of the switch 22, as shown in FIG. 19 and Seen in 20. Since the contact member 26 presses the plunger 22a of the switch 22, the switch 22 generates a first signal transmission received by the signal communication device 14. Therefore, when the operating member 24 is moved from the rest position toward the partial operating position, the first member 98 contacts the first protrusion 100 of the operating member 24 to generate a tactile feedback response.

如圖21及圖22中所見,當操作構件24被移動更遠離靜置位置時,第一部件98接觸操作構件24的第二突出部102。由於第一部件98與第二突出部102之間的此接觸,當操作構件24朝向完全操作位置移動遠離靜置位置時,第一部件98再次被繞著第一樞轉軸線P1樞轉。確切地,當第一部件98行進越過第二突出部102時,第一部件98相對於第二部件104維持靜止不動,而接觸構件26、第一部件98及第二部件104皆繞著第一樞轉軸線P1一起樞轉。因此,接觸構件26再次被移動遠離處於備妥位置的切換器22,如圖21及圖22中所見。一旦第一部件98到達第二突出部102的自由端,接觸構件26再次處於傾斜位置。As seen in Figures 21 and 22, the first member 98 contacts the second projection 102 of the operating member 24 when the operating member 24 is moved further away from the rest position. Due to this contact between the first component 98 and the second projection 102, the first component 98 is again pivoted about the first pivot axis P1 as the operating member 24 is moved away from the rest position toward the fully operational position. Specifically, as the first component 98 travels past the second projection 102, the first component 98 remains stationary relative to the second component 104, while the contact member 26, the first component 98, and the second component 104 all surround the first The pivot axis P1 pivots together. Thus, the contact member 26 is again moved away from the switch 22 in the ready position, as seen in Figures 21 and 22. Once the first component 98 reaches the free end of the second projection 102, the contact member 26 is again in the tilted position.

在接觸構件26行進離開第二突出部102的自由端以後,接觸構件26藉由偏壓元件108而被朝向切換器22快速地移動,以按壓切換器22的柱塞22a,如圖23及圖24中所見。由於接觸構件26按壓切換器22的柱塞22a,切換器22產生由訊號通訊裝置14所接收的第二訊號傳送。因此,當操作構件24從靜置位置朝向完全操作位置移動時,第一部件98接觸操作構件24的第二突出部102,以產生觸覺回饋反應。After the contact member 26 travels away from the free end of the second projection 102, the contact member 26 is rapidly moved toward the switch 22 by the biasing member 108 to press the plunger 22a of the switch 22, as shown in FIG. 23 and Seen in 24th. Since the contact member 26 presses the plunger 22a of the switch 22, the switch 22 generates a second signal transmission received by the signal communication device 14. Thus, as the operating member 24 moves from the rest position toward the fully operational position, the first member 98 contacts the second projection 102 of the operating member 24 to produce a tactile feedback response.

如圖21至圖29中所見,在操作構件24的釋放的期間,當操作構件24從操作位置中的一者朝向靜置位置移動時,第一部件98繞著從第一樞轉軸線P1偏位的第二樞轉軸線P2樞轉。結果,當操作構件24從操作位置中的一者朝向靜置位置移動時,第一部件98相對於第二部件104而繞著第二樞轉軸線P2移動。As seen in Figures 21-29, during release of the operating member 24, the first member 98 is biased about the first pivot axis P1 as the operating member 24 moves from one of the operating positions toward the rest position. The second pivot axis P2 of the position pivots. As a result, as the operating member 24 moves from one of the operating positions toward the rest position, the first member 98 moves relative to the second member 104 about the second pivot axis P2.

在瞭解本發明的範圍時,在此所使用的用語”包含”及其衍生字旨在作為開放式用語,其界定所述的特徵、元件、組件、群組、整數、及/或步驟的存在,但不排除其他未述及的特徵、元件、組件、群組、整數、及/或步驟的存在。前述者亦應用於具有類似意義的字,例如用語“包括”、“具有”及其衍生字。又,用語“部件”、“區段”、“部分”、“構件”、或“元件”在以單數型使用時能具有單一個部件或複數個部件的雙重意義,除非陳述並非如此。The term "comprising" and its derivatives, as used herein, is intended to be an open-ended term that defines the existence of the described features, components, components, groups, integers, and/or steps. However, the existence of other features, elements, components, groups, integers, and/or steps that are not described is not excluded.

The terms "left" and "right" are used to indicate "right" when referring to the right side when viewed from the rear of the bicycle, and to indicate "left" when referring to the left side when viewed from the rear of the bicycle.

又,將會瞭解的是,雖然用語“第一”及“第二”可在此被使用來描述各種不同的組件,這些組件不應該被這些用語限制。這些用語僅被使用來將一個組件與另一個組件區分。因此,例如,在不離開本發明的教示的情形下,以上所討論的第一組件可被記載為第二組件,且反之亦然。在此所使用的用語“被附接”或“附接”涵蓋以下組態:藉由將元件直接地附加至另一元件,元件被直接地牢固至另一元件之組態;藉由將元件附加至接著被附加至另一元件的中間構件,元件被間接地牢固至另一元件之組態;及一元件與另一元件成一體之組態,亦即,一元件本質是另一元件的一部分。此定義亦應用於類似意義的字,例如,“被連合”、“被連接”、“被耦接”、“被安裝”、“被黏合”、“被固定”及其衍生字。最後,在此所使用的程度用語“實質地”、“大約”及“近似地”意指所修飾用語的合理變異量,使得最終結果不會顯著地改變。Also, it will be understood that although the terms "first" and "second" may be used herein to describe various different components, these components should not be limited by these terms. These terms are used only to distinguish one component from another. Thus, for example, a first component discussed above could be described as a second component, and vice versa, without departing from the teachings of the invention. The term "attached" or "attached" as used herein encompasses the following configuration: by attaching an element directly to another element, the element is directly secured to the configuration of the other element; Attached to an intermediate member that is then attached to another component, the component is indirectly secured to the configuration of the other component; and a component is integrated with the other component, that is, one component is essentially another component portion. This definition also applies to words of similar meaning, such as "connected", "connected", "coupled", "mounted", "bonded", "fixed" and its derivatives. Finally, the terms "substantially", "about" and "approximately" are used herein to mean a reasonable amount of variation of the modified term so that the final result does not change significantly.
