Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of bicycle manufacturing and relates to a bicycle driving device, in particular to a double-flying linkage up and down riding lever type driving device for a bicycle. Background Art

[0002] my country has a large population and is a country with a large number of bicycle users. Bicycles are an indispensable part of urban transportation. The use of bicycles has the following advantages: (1) There is no air and noise pollution, which can provide residents and tourists with a convenient green travel mode, improve the green competitiveness of the city, and at the same time, cycling can help to strengthen the body and reduce the occurrence of urban diseases; (2) It provides cities with short-distance travel solutions of 1-5 kilometers, improves the utilization rate of road resources, alleviates road traffic congestion, and solves the problem of the "last 1 kilometer" of public transportation; (3) Compared with buses, bicycles have the characteristics of small size, flexible operation, good accessibility and low investment. They can be used as an auxiliary tool for rail transit connection, maximize the rational use of various transportation resources, meet the multi-level short-distance travel needs of residents and the transportation needs of different travel purposes, conveniently and efficiently gather and distribute passenger flow, and improve the overall operation efficiency of urban transportation.

[0003] However, the existing bicycle is driven by controlling the handlebars and front wheel of the bicycle by hand to control the direction. The person sits on the bicycle seat and uses the power of the feet and legs to drive the pedals, and then drives the flywheel on the rear wheel by pedaling and rotating the wheel disc to make the bicycle move forward. The driving device of this bicycle is that one end of the crank is connected to the middle shaft, and the middle shaft also participates in the transmission, that is, the small circle (middle shaft) drives the large circle (crank plate), but the driving efficiency near the dead point (the bicycle crank is consistent with the direction of gravity) is extremely low, and the pedal is the most laborious. When the bicycle is riding on a flat bottom or downhill, the inertia of the bicycle crank can naturally move past the dead point to overcome it, but when the bicycle is riding at a slow speed or uphill, this problem is more prominent. At the dead point, because the direction of the force is consistent with the direction of the lever arm, the dynamic torque is zero at this time, which causes a great waste of manpower, easily causes fatigue of the rider, is not conducive to physical exercise, and if the riding time is too long, it will cause pain in the buttocks and legs. Therefore, it is particularly important to design a labor-saving driving device for bicycles. Summary of the invention
