no. 1 approach

[0036] figure 1 It is a side view of an electric assist bicycle (hereinafter referred to as "bicycle 10") equipped with a bicycle driving device 30 . In one example, a bicycle 10 includes a crank 12 , a pair of pedals 14 , a front sprocket 16 , a rear sprocket 18 , and a chain 20 . Crank 12 includes a pair of crank arms 22 and a crank axle 32 .

[0037] The pair of crank arms 22 are respectively coupled to both ends of the crank shaft 32 in a state capable of integrally rotating with the crank shaft 32 . The pedal 14 includes a pedal body 14A and a pedal shaft 14B. The pedal shaft 14B is connected to the crank arm 22 in a state where it can rotate integrally with the crank arm 22 . The pedal main body 14A is supported by the pedal shaft 14B in a rotatable state with respect to the pedal shaft 14B.

[0038] The front sprocket 16 and the output part 34 of the bicycle driving device 30 (refer to figure 2 )link. The rear sprocket 18 is connected to a drive wheel (not shown)...

Abstract

A bicycle driving device that allows a second motor to be reduced in size includes a first planetary mechanism, a first motor, a second motor, and a speed reduction mechanism. The first planetary mechanism includes a first input body to which rotation of a crank is input, a first output body that rotates when the first input body rotates, and a first transmission body that transmits rotation of the first input body to the first output body. The first motor is capable of rotating at least one of the first input body, the first output body, and the crank. The speed reduction mechanism reduces rotation produced by the second motor in speed and transmits the rotation to the first transmission body.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a driving device for a bicycle. Background technique [0002] The bicycle drive device of Patent Document 1 includes a first motor, a second motor, and a planetary mechanism. The planetary mechanism includes an input body to which a human driving force of a crank is input, an output body that rotates corresponding to the rotation of the input body, and a transmission body for transmitting the rotation of the input body to the output body. The first motor transmits torque to the output body of the planetary mechanism, and the second motor transmits torque to the transmission body of the planetary mechanism. [0003] Patent Document 1: US Publication US2012 / 0010036 [0004] When the crank and the first motor are driven to rotate the output body, a reaction force in a direction opposite to the rotation direction is given to the rotation shaft of the second motor. Since the second motor needs to rotate against this react...
