The present invention belongs to the power-assisted techniques of bicycles. Disclosed are a magnetic transmission speed-reduction apparatus and a mid-drive
electric motor for a power-assisted bicycle. The existing mid-drive electric motors have a
large size, low rotation efficiency and high operating
noise. In the present invention, a modulation ring is placed between a first rotor and a first
stator, and power is transmitted by means of a magnetic-field
coupling effect; a first air gap is formed between the modulation ring and the first
stator, and a second air gap is formed between the modulation ring and the first rotor; during operation, an
electric motor drives the first rotor to rotate, and magnetic fields generated by the first rotor and the first
stator are each modulated by the modulation ring to generate a series of spatial
harmonic magnetic fields at the first air gap and the second air gap; and by means of magnetic-field
coupling, stable output torques are generated on the modulation ring, thereby achieving the effects of
speed reduction and torque amplification. Due to the friction-free characteristic of magnetic transmission and the ultra-
high torque density brought about by the
magnetic flux concentration structure and high-magnetic-permeability material of the present invention, the
system efficiency is improved, and the operating
noise is reduced.
