New description: [Technical field to which the new type belongs] The present invention relates to a crank assembly, and more particularly to a bicycle crank assembly comprising only four sprocket mounting arms. [Prior Art] In the known crank assembly of a bicycle, there are four sprocket mounting arms φ (for example, Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. SHO-5-7-98 93). The conventional crank assembly is a technique for maintaining the strength of the crank assembly to achieve weight reduction. Specifically, in a region where the rod-shaped crank main body to which the pedal is attached passes over the dead point and the torque is increased, the two sprocket mounting arms of the same shape are placed to sandwich the crank main body so as to be located at a dead point. . Thereby, even if the sprocket mounting arm portion is four, the rigidity of the crank assembly can be effectively increased. [New content] φ [New problem to be solved] • The crank assembly with four sprocket mounting arms acts as: "The force of the two sprocket mounting arms that sandwich the crank body is not the same. . In other words, in the rotation direction of the bicycle crank assembly when the bicycle is driven, the force of the sprocket attachment arm acting on the upstream side in the rotation direction is smaller than the force of the sprocket attachment arm acting on the downstream side in the rotation direction. However, in the conventional crank assembly, the shape of the four sprocket mounting arms is the same, so that the rigidity of the crank arm is designed to match the arm portion that is subjected to a large load by the pedaling operation, and it is difficult to be efficient. The weight of the crank assembly is achieved. -3- M428920 The problem of the present invention is to provide the required rigidity in the crank assembly H' having four sprocket mounting arms, and to effectively reduce the weight of the crank assembly. [Means for Solving the Problem] The bicycle crank assembly of the present invention is a bicycle crank assembly including only four sprocket attachment arm portions. The bicycle crank assembly ‘ includes a crank main body, a mounting arm portion of the first sprocket, an attachment arm portion of the second sprocket, a mounting arm portion of the third sprocket, and a mounting arm portion of the fourth sprocket. The crank main body ' has a crank shaft mounting portion in which a crank shaft mounting hole is formed at one end thereof, and a pedal shaft mounting portion having a pedal shaft mounting hole at the other end. The first sprocket mounting arm extends from the crankshaft mounting portion and has a first sprocket mounting hole. The second sprocket mounting arm portion extends from the crank shaft mounting portion and has a second sprocket mounting hole. The third sprocket mounting arm portion extends from the crank shaft mounting portion and has a third sprocket mounting hole. The fourth sprocket mounting arm portion ' extends from the crank shaft mounting portion and has a fourth sprocket mounting hole. a first sprocket mounting arm portion, a second sprocket mounting arm portion, a third sprocket mounting arm portion, and a fourth sprocket mounting arm portion along a rotation direction of the bicycle crank assembly when the bicycle is driven The crank main body is arranged in the order of the first sprocket mounting arm portion, the second sprocket mounting arm portion, the third sprocket mounting arm portion, and the fourth sprocket mounting arm portion. The bicycle crank assembly of the present invention has a first central angle formed by a first imaginary line and a first imaginary line, and a second central angle formed by the second imaginary line and the third imaginary line: the third imaginary The fourth central angle formed by the line and the fourth hypothesis • 4 · M428920 line; and the fourth central angle formed by the fourth imaginary line and the imaginary line; the first imaginary line is the center and installation of the crank shaft mounting hole The center of the hole is connected; the second imaginary line connects the center of the upper mounting hole and the center of the second sprocket mounting hole. The three imaginary lines connect the center of the crank shaft mounting hole to the center of the third chain. The fourth imaginary line is formed by connecting the center of the crankshaft and the center of the fourth sprocket mounting hole; the first and third central angles are more than the second and fourth central angles. The rigidity of the rigid first sprocket mounting arm portion and the third sprocket mounting arm portion of the mounting arm portion and the fourth sprocket mounting arm portion. In the crank assembly, the first central angle and the third central angle have a central angle and a fourth central angle. Therefore, the interval between the sprocket mounting arms by the stepping action load is narrowed, and the rigidity of the crank assembly can be raised. ^ The first sprocket mounting arm portion of the second sprocket mounting arm portion and the first sprocket mounting arm portion of the fourth sprocket mounting arm portion and the rigidity required for the rigidity of the third sprocket mounting arm portion is smaller The third chain portion can be a more particularly lightweight structure. [New effect] With the first central angle and the third central angle being smaller than the angle and the fourth central angle, the rigidity of the second sprocket mounting arm portion and the fourth sprocket is higher than: the first sprocket mounting arm portion And the third sprocket is mounted on the first first sprocket wheel; the small relationship between the first wheel mounting hole and the first wheel mounting hole is higher than: less than the first effective larger extraction, higher than the first sprocket. As a result, the -5-M428920 of the arm mounting arm of the second center mounting arm portion is rigid, so that it has the required rigidity and can effectively reduce the weight of the crank assembly.

The cover member 19 has a large-diameter head portion 19a and a tubular portion 19b fitted to the inner circumferential surface of the crankshaft 20. The outer side surface 19c of the head portion 19a is in contact with the inner side surface 18c of the second bottom portion 18a of the second crank portion 18 of the crank main body 12, which will be described later. An adhesive is applied to the contact portion to fix the second crank portion 18. Further, by the arrangement of the crank shaft 20 in contact with the second bottom portion 18a of the second crank portion 18, the second crank portion 18 is not easily recessed. As shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the pedal shaft mounting hole 12c' is formed with a M428920: a female screw portion 12e that is screwed to a pedal shaft of a pedal (not shown). The first crank portion 16' of the crank main body 12' has a first bottom portion 16c extending toward the axial direction of the crank shaft 20, being thinner than the second hub portion 16b, and a first portion formed at the outer edge portion of the first bottom portion 16c.

The center C4 is connected. The fourth central angle Q: 4 is an angle formed by the fourth imaginary line L4 and the first imaginary line L1. And, the first central angle αι, the second central angle α 2, the third central angle α 3, and the fourth central angle α 4, the first central angle αΐ and the third central angle α3′ are formed to be smaller than: the second central angle "2 and the fourth central angle α 4. In this embodiment, the first central angle α 相等 is equal to the third central angle α 3 . The second central angle α 2 is equal to the fourth central angle α 4 . The first central angle α 1 and The third central angle α3' is preferably in the range of 60 to 80 degrees, and is in this embodiment. The rigidity of the second sprocket mounting arm portion 22 and the fourth sprocket mounting arm portion 24 is higher than: The rigidity of the sprocket mounting arm portion 21 and the third sprocket mounting arm portion 23. Specifically, in this embodiment, the second sprocket mounting arm portion 22 and the fourth sprocket mounting arm portion 24 and the second imaginary line The width W2 of the orthogonal direction in the L2 and the fourth imaginary line is larger than the first imaginary line L1 and the third imaginary line L3 of the first sprocket attachment arm portion 21 and the third sprocket attachment arm portion 23 The width W1 of the direction of intersection. Thereby, the bending rigidity of the second sprocket mounting arm portion 22 and the fourth sprocket mounting arm portion 24 is higher than that of the first sprocket mounting arm portion 21 and the third sprocket mounting arm portion 23. Regarding the first to fourth sprocket mounting arm portions 21', 22', 23', and 24 of the second crank portion 18, the first to fourth sprocket mounting arm portions 21, 22 of the first crank portion 16 are formed. 23, 24 are equally preferred. The first bottom portion 16c and the first wall portion 16d are formed on the outer edge portion of the first to fourth sprocket attachment arm portions 21 to 24 in the first -10 - M428920 crank portion 16. The first wall portion 16d is also formed at a boundary portion of the first-fourth outer side surfaces 21b to 24b. Then, the first to fourth sprocket attachment arm portions 21 to 24 are surrounded by the first wall portion 16d except for the first to fourth outer side faces 2 lb to 24b. In the present embodiment, between the crank main body 12 and the first sprocket mounting arm portion 21, between the second sprocket mounting arm portion 22 and the third sprocket mounting arm portion 23, and the fourth sprocket mounting arm portion 24 A rib 25 for reinforcing φ is formed between the crank main body 12. The rib 25 is formed radially from the first hub portion 16a toward the first wall portion 16d. The arm portions 21 to 24 are attached to the first to fourth sprocket wheels, and the second wall portion 18b of the second crank portion 18 is placed in close contact with the outer surface of the first wall portion I6d. The first wall portion 16d formed at a boundary portion with the fourth-outer side surface 21b to 24b is not disposed. In the bicycle crank assembly 10 configured as described above, a large load is applied during the stepping operation, and between the first sprocket attachment arm portion 21 and the second sprocket mounting arm portion 22, and the third sprocket Between the mounting arm portion 23 and the fourth sprocket mounting arm portion 24, the interval between the sprocket mounting arm portions is narrowed, and the rigidity of the crank assembly can be effectively increased. Further, the rigidity of the second sprocket mounting arm portion and the fourth sprocket mounting arm portion is higher than the rigidity of the first sprocket mounting arm portion and the third sprocket mounting arm portion. Thereby, the required smaller sprocket mounting arm portion and the third sprocket mounting arm portion can be made more particularly lightweight, as shown in Fig. 7, when the crank main body 12 is disposed at : a predetermined angular region in which the torque acting on the crank assembly 10 becomes large (for example, the crank main body 12 -11 - M428920 is rotated from the crank driving rotation direction to the position F from the top dead center UD by about 70 degrees until When the angle point from the position G at which the top dead center UD is rotated by about 90 degrees is an area of about 20 degrees), specifically, the center C of the crank shaft mounting hole 12a of the crank main body 12 and the pedal shaft mounting hole 12c The center C5 of the imaginary crank main body center line L5 is disposed at a predetermined angle region, and the third center angle α3 is directed toward the top dead center UD of the load by the chain CN. In this state, although a large load acts on the first sprocket 30 or the second sprocket 32, the third sprocket mounting arm portion 23 and the fourth sprocket mounting arm portion 24 are disposed at a narrow interval. Near the dead point UD, the first sprocket 30 and the second sprocket 32 can have sufficient rigidity to withstand the load.

The fourth sprocket mounting arm portion 24 near the top dead center UD and located on the downstream side in the crank drive rotation direction receives a large load due to the chain CN, and the wider width of the fourth sprocket mounting arm portion 24 is wide. Since the rigidity is high, the fourth sprocket mounting arm portion 24 can have sufficient rigidity necessary for resisting the load during the pedaling operation. On the other hand, as shown in Fig. 8, when the left crank LC is also disposed in the predetermined angular region, the torque acting on the crank assembly 10 becomes large. In this case, the first central angle α ΐ faces the top dead center UD which is forced by the chain CN. Even in this state, although a large load acts on the first sprocket 30 or the second sprocket 32, the first sprocket mounting arm portion 21 and the second sprocket mounting arm portion 22 are disposed at narrow intervals. Located near the top dead center UD, the first sprocket 30 and the second sprocket 32 can have sufficient rigidity necessary to withstand the load. -12- M428920 The second sprocket mounting arm portion 22, which is close to the top dead center UD and is subjected to a large load on the downstream side of the crank drive rotation direction, has a wide width and a high rigidity, so the second chain The wheel mounting arm portion 22 can have sufficient rigidity necessary to resist the load during the pedaling operation. Thereby, the required first sprocket mounting arm portion 21 and the third sprocket mounting arm portion 23 having a smaller rigidity can be made more particularly lightweight. <Other Embodiments> The above description of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the novel features. (a) In the above embodiment, the crankshaft 20 is press-fitted to the crank main body 12, and the crankshaft 20 and the crank main body 12 are fixed by an adhesive instead of the press-fitting method. Alternatively, the bicycle crank assembly can be integrally and rotatably fixed to the crank axle (b) by bolts or nuts. In the above embodiment, the second crank portion 18 is made of metal, for example, carbon fiber reinforced resin. It can also be made of synthetic resin. (c) In the above embodiment, the hollow structure constituting the first crank portion and the second crank portion is formed in order to reduce the weight of the bicycle crank assembly, and the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, an integral hollow structure that is not divided by the first crank portion and the second crank portion may be formed. It is also possible to make the whole of the bicycle crank assembly. (d) In the above embodiment, the first and third sprocket mounting arms 21, 23 of the bicycle crank assembly-13-M428920 10 and the second and fourth sprocket mounting arms 22, 24 are The rigidity is changed so as to vary the width in the direction orthogonal to the first-fourth imaginary line, and the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, as shown in Fig. 9, in the first crank portion 116 of the sprocket mounting portion 114, the widths of the fourth to fourth sprocket mounting arm portions 121 to 124 are made the same, and the second sprocket mounting arm portion 122 and the fourth chain are formed. The wheel mounting arm portion 124 is made solid, and the first sprocket mounting arm portion 121 and the third sprocket mounting arm portion 123 are made hollow to change the rigidity. For example, as shown in Fig. 10, in the first crank portion 216' of the hollow sprocket mounting portion 214, only the second sprocket mounting arm portion 222 and the fourth sprocket mounting arm portion 24 are formed with ribs as reinforcing portions. The portion 226 can also increase the rigidity. The rib 226 is formed integrally with the second sprocket mounting arm portion 222 and the fourth sprocket mounting arm portion 224. However, the ribs may be different from the second sprocket mounting arm portion 222 and the fourth sprocket mounting arm portion 224. Instead of the ribs, the ridges may be disposed in the hollow portions of the second sprocket attachment arm portion 222 and the fourth sprocket attachment arm portion 224 to change the rigidity. Further, in the first crank portion of the sprocket attachment portion, the cross-sectional area of the second and fourth sprocket attachment arm portions can be made larger than the first and third sprocket attachment arm portions to change the rigidity.
