A V-shaped spring is accommodated in the second gap and is located between the two abutting portions. The two ends of the V-shaped spring are fixedly connected to the two sides of the through hole, so that the inner wall of the V-shaped spring, the inner wall of the through hole, and the inner wall of the output wheel form a channel for accommodating the rolling member and for the rolling member to roll. The channel can limit the movement of the rolling member in the circumferential direction, the radial direction, and the axial direction. Rotating the input wheel can sequentially drive the transmission shaft and the transmission member to rotate, thereby driving the abutting portion, the V-shaped spring, the rolling member, and the output wheel to abut in turn, thereby driving the output wheel to rotate; rotating the output wheel, the V-shaped spring returns to its original state, thereby allowing the abutting portion, the V-shaped spring, the rolling member, and the output wheel to disengage from the abutment, thereby preventing transmission to the input wheel, thereby achieving one-way transmission between the input wheel and the output wheel.

[0037] First embodiment
[0038] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 This embodiment provides a clutch structure 100, including a transmission shaft 10 and an input wheel 20, an output wheel 30 and a clutch assembly 40, which are respectively sleeved on the transmission shaft 10 and coaxially arranged. The input wheel 20 and the output wheel 30 are respectively used to connect to the external input end and the external output end.
[0039] Among them, a clutch cavity is provided in the output wheel 30, and the clutch assembly 40 is accommodated in the clutch cavity; the clutch assembly 40 includes a retaining frame 41, a transmission member 42, a rolling member 43 and a V-shaped spring 44; a receiving cavity is provided in the retaining frame 41, and the transmission member 42 is accommodated in the receiving cavity, and the input wheel 20 is connected to the transmission member 42 through the transmission shaft 10. There is a first gap between the inner wall surface of the output wheel 30 and the outer wall surface of the retaining frame 41, and there is a second gap between the inner wall surface of the retaining frame 41 and the outer wall surface of the transmission member 42.
[0040] A through hole 4121 is formed on the side wall of the retaining frame 41, and two abutting portions 421 are formed on the outer wall of the transmission member 42. The V-shaped spring piece 44 is accommodated in the second gap and is located between the two abutting portions 421. The two ends of the V-shaped spring piece 44 are respectively fixedly connected to the two sides of the through hole 4121, so that the inner wall of the V-shaped spring piece 44, the inner wall of the through hole 4121 and the inner wall of the output wheel 30 form a channel for accommodating the rolling member 43 and allowing the rolling member 43 to roll.
[0041] Rotating the input wheel 20 drives the transmission member 42 to rotate, causing the abutment 421, V-shaped spring piece 44, rolling element 43, and output wheel 30 to abut against each other. Rotating the output wheel 30 disengages the abutment 421, V-shaped spring piece 44, rolling element 43, and output wheel 30. This clutch structure 100 provides stable transmission and has the advantages of simple structure and ease of assembly.
[0042] It should be noted that, first, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the input runner 20 and the output runner 30 are respectively sleeved on the transmission shaft 10, and the input runner 20 and the output runner 30 are coaxially arranged, including the case where the input runner 20 is located above the output runner 30, and the case where the input runner 20 is located below the output runner 30. Those skilled in the art should be able to make reasonable selections and designs according to actual needs. The figure is explained as the input runner 20 being located below the output runner 30, and should not be used to limit the axial positional relationship between the input runner 20 and the output runner 30.
[0043] The clutch assembly 40 is also sleeved on the transmission shaft 10 and coaxially arranged with the input pulley 20 (or output pulley 30). Therefore, the transmission shaft 10 can limit the circumferential and axial movement of the input pulley 20, the output pulley 30, and the clutch assembly 40. Unlike the input pulley 20, the clutch assembly 40 is housed within a cylindrical clutch cavity within the output pulley 30. The input pulley 20 and the output pulley 30 are independently arranged, and one-way transmission is achieved through the transmission shaft 10 and the clutch assembly 40.
[0044] Second, if Figures 4 to 6As shown, the clutch assembly 40 includes a retaining frame 41, a transmission member 42, a rolling member 43, and a V-shaped spring 44. A cylindrical accommodating cavity is provided in the retaining frame 41, and the transmission member 42 is accommodated in the accommodating cavity. The transmission member 42 is fixedly connected to the transmission shaft 10, and the input runner 20 is fixedly connected to the transmission shaft 10, so that the input runner 20 is transmission-connected to the transmission member 42 via the transmission shaft 10. A first gap is defined between the inner wall surface of the output runner 30 and the outer wall surface of the retaining frame 41, and a second gap is defined between the inner wall surface of the retaining frame 41 and the outer wall surface of the transmission member 42. That is, the transmission member 42, the retaining frame 41, and the output runner 30 are sequentially spaced from the inside to the outside in the radial direction. The first gap and the second gap may be equal or unequal. Those skilled in the art should be able to make reasonable selections and designs based on actual needs, and no specific limitations are imposed herein.
[0045] Third, if Figures 4 to 6 As shown, a through hole 4121 is formed on the side wall of the retaining frame 41, and two abutting portions 421 are formed on the outer wall of the transmission member 42. The V-shaped spring piece 44 is accommodated in the second gap and located between the two abutting portions 421. The two ends of the V-shaped spring piece 44 are respectively fixedly connected to the two sides of the through hole 4121, and the tip of the V-shaped spring piece 44 faces the side away from the output wheel 30. In particular, since a V-shaped spring piece 44 includes two inclined surfaces on the left and right sides, two abutting portions 421 are formed on the outer wall of the transmission member 42, that is, the number of abutting portions 421 is twice the number of V-shaped spring pieces 44. In addition, the rolling member 43 can be spherical, and the shape of the through hole 4121 can be circular or semicircular. If the through hole 4121 is semicircular, the opening of the semicircular through hole 4121 should face the side close to the inner wall of the output wheel 30. Along the circumferential direction, the two inner wall surfaces of the through hole 4121 can limit the movement of the rolling element 43. Along the radial direction, the inner wall surface of the V-shaped spring piece 44 and the inner wall surface of the output wheel 30 can limit the movement of the rolling element 43. Along the axial direction, the inner wall surface of the through hole 4121 (when the through hole 4121 is circular) or the inner wall surface of the through hole 4121 and the inner wall surface of the output wheel 30 (when the through hole 4121 is semicircular) can limit the movement of the rolling element 43. In other words, the inner wall surface of the V-shaped spring piece 44, the inner wall surface of the through hole 4121 and the inner wall surface of the output wheel 30 form a channel for accommodating the rolling element 43, and the rolling element 43 can roll in the channel.
[0046] Specifically, the transmission process of the input wheel 20 and the output wheel 30 is as follows:
[0047] like Figure 5As shown, when the input wheel 20 is the driving wheel, if the input wheel 20 rotates clockwise, it drives the transmission shaft 10 to rotate in the same direction, and then drives the transmission member 42 to rotate in the same direction. The supporting portion 421 on the left side of the outer wall of the transmission member 42 abuts against the left inclined surface of the V-shaped spring piece 44, causing the V-shaped spring piece 44 to deform slightly and then abut against the rolling member 43. The rolling member 43 continues to rotate and moves in the through hole 4121 on the side wall of the retaining frame 41 toward the output wheel 30 until the rolling member 43 abuts against the inner wall of the output wheel 30. Then, the supporting portion 421 on the left side of the outer wall of the transmission member 42, the left inclined surface of the V-shaped spring piece 44, the rolling member 43 and the inner wall of the output wheel 30 abut as a whole and can rotate clockwise together.
[0048] like Figure 5 As shown, when the input wheel 20 is the driving wheel, if the input wheel 20 rotates counterclockwise, it drives the transmission shaft 10 to rotate in the same direction, and then drives the transmission member 42 to rotate in the same direction. The right side wall of the abutting portion 421 on the right side of the outer wall of the transmission member 42 abuts against the right side inclined surface of the V-shaped spring piece 44, causing the V-shaped spring piece 44 to deform slightly and then abut against the rolling member 43, and continue to rotate to push the rolling member 43 to move closer to the output wheel 30 in the through hole 4121 on the side wall of the retaining frame 41 until the rolling member 43 abuts against the inner wall surface of the output wheel 30, and then the abutting portion 421 on the right side of the outer wall surface of the transmission member 42, the right side inclined surface of the V-shaped spring piece 44, the rolling member 43 and the inner wall surface of the output wheel 30 abut as a whole, and can rotate counterclockwise together.
[0049] like Figure 6 As shown, when the output wheel 30 is the driving wheel, the V-shaped spring piece 44 returns to its original state, and the output wheel 30, the rolling element 43, the V-shaped spring piece 44 and the transmission element 42 cannot abut against each other. If the output wheel 30 rotates clockwise, when the rolling element 43 contacts the output wheel 30, the rolling element 43 rolls freely in the through hole 4121 on the side wall of the retaining frame 41. When the rolling element 43 separates from the output wheel 30, the output wheel 30 is always in a clockwise idling state.
[0050] like Figure 6 As shown, when the output wheel 30 is the driving wheel, the V-shaped spring piece 44 returns to its original state, and the output wheel 30, the rolling element 43, the V-shaped spring piece 44 and the transmission element 42 cannot abut against each other. If the output wheel 30 rotates counterclockwise, when the rolling element 43 contacts the output wheel 30, the rolling element 43 rolls freely in the through hole 4121 on the side wall of the retaining frame 41. When the rolling element 43 separates from the output wheel 30, the output wheel 30 is always in a counterclockwise idling state.
[0051] As described above, the clutch structure 100 includes a transmission shaft 10 and an input wheel 20, an output wheel 30 and a clutch assembly 40, which are respectively sleeved on the transmission shaft 10 and coaxially arranged. The input wheel 20 and the output wheel 30 are respectively used to connect to the external input end and the external output end. Therefore, the transmission shaft 10 can limit the circumferential and axial movement of the input wheel 20, the output wheel 30 and the clutch assembly 40. Among them, a clutch cavity is provided in the output wheel 30, and the clutch assembly 40 is accommodated in the clutch cavity; the clutch assembly 40 includes a retaining frame 41, a transmission member 42, a rolling member 43 and a V-shaped spring 44; a receiving cavity is provided in the retaining frame 41, and the transmission member 42 is accommodated in the receiving cavity, and the input wheel 20 is connected to the transmission member 42 through the transmission shaft 10. There is a first gap between the inner wall surface of the output wheel 30 and the outer wall surface of the retaining frame 41, and there is a second gap between the inner wall surface of the retaining frame 41 and the outer wall surface of the transmission member 42, that is, the transmission member 42, the retaining frame 41 and the output wheel 30 are arranged in sequence from the inside to the outside in the radial direction. A through hole 4121 is provided on the side wall surface of the retaining frame 41, and two abutting portions 421 are formed on the outer wall surface of the transmission member 42. The V-shaped spring piece 44 is accommodated in the second gap and is located between the two abutting portions 421. The two ends of the V-shaped spring piece 44 are fixedly connected to the two sides of the through hole 4121 respectively, so that the inner wall surface of the V-shaped spring piece 44, the inner wall surface of the through hole 4121 and the inner wall surface of the output wheel 30 form a channel for accommodating the rolling member 43 and for the rolling member 43 to roll. The channel can limit the movement of the rolling member 43 in the circumferential direction, radial direction and axial direction. Rotating the input wheel 20 sequentially drives the transmission shaft 10 and the transmission member 42 to rotate, thereby causing the abutment 421, the V-shaped spring piece 44, the rolling member 43, and the output wheel 30 to abut against each other, thereby driving the output wheel 30 to rotate. Rotating the output wheel 30 causes the V-shaped spring piece 44 to return to its original state, thereby disengaging the abutment 421, the V-shaped spring piece 44, the rolling member 43, and the output wheel 30 from abutment, thereby preventing transmission to the input wheel 20. This allows the input wheel 20 and the output wheel 30 to achieve one-way transmission. In summary, the clutch structure 100 can achieve stable transmission and has the advantages of simple structure and easy assembly.
[0052] like Figures 3 to 6 In this embodiment, multiple through-holes 4121, rolling elements 43, and V-shaped spring pieces 44 are provided, and these through-holes 4121, rolling elements 43, and V-shaped spring pieces 44 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence. For example, the number of through-holes 4121, rolling elements 43, and V-shaped spring pieces 44 is four. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of through-holes 4121, rolling elements 43, and V-shaped spring pieces 44 can also be one, two, three, five, six, or the like. Those skilled in the art will be able to make reasonable choices and designs based on actual needs, and no specific limitations are imposed herein.
[0053] like Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the multiple through holes 4121 are arranged at intervals, and the multiple through holes 4121 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the retaining frame 41, so that when the input wheel 20 is the driving wheel, the output wheel 30 can be subjected to a more uniform force along the circumferential direction, thereby making the transmission between the input wheel 20 and the output wheel 30 more stable.
[0054] In this embodiment, the transmission member 42 is a circular structure, the edge of the circular structure is provided with a groove, and the inner wall surface of the groove forms a supporting portion 421. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the groove is a V-shaped groove that matches the shape of the V-shaped spring clip 44. As a result, the walls on the left and right sides of the V-shaped groove have a certain inclination angle, which is more suitable for accommodating the V-shaped spring clip 44 compared to grooves of other shapes. In addition, the angle of the V-shaped groove needs to be slightly larger than the angle of the V-shaped spring clip 44 to ensure a certain gap between the V-shaped spring clip 44 and the V-shaped groove. This allows the V-shaped spring clip 44 to return to its original shape when the output wheel 30 is the driving wheel. Of course, in other embodiments, the edge of the circular structure can also extend with a protrusion. In this case, the protrusion forms a support portion 421 facing the side wall of the V-shaped spring clip 44.
[0055] In order to allow the rolling element 43 to be accommodated in the channel and to be able to roll freely in the channel, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the diameter of the rolling element 43 is greater than the thickness of the side wall of the retaining frame 41, and the diameter of the rolling element 43 is smaller than the sum of the width of the first gap, the thickness of the side wall of the retaining frame 41 and the width of the second gap.
[0056] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the retainer 41 includes a first disc 411 and a second disc 412 coaxially arranged around the transmission shaft 10. The first disc 411 and the second disc 412 are axially positioned at different positions. The diameter of the first disc 411 is larger than the diameter of the second disc 412, and the accommodating cavity is disposed within the first disc 411. The first disc 411 and the second disc 412 can be integrally formed to facilitate assembly of the clutch structure 100.
[0057] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, in this embodiment, the clutch structure 100 further includes a blocking member 50. An annular groove is formed circumferentially on the outer wall surface of the second disk 412. The blocking member 50 is accommodated in the annular groove and is used to abut against the external housing. In this way, the blocking member 50 can provide static friction for the retaining frame 41, thereby causing the retaining frame 41 to be stationary when the V-shaped spring piece 44, the rolling element 43, and the output wheel 30 are initially in contact. This ensures that the V-shaped spring piece 44 undergoes slight deformation when abutted by the transmission element 42, thereby improving the stability of the clutch structure 100. In this embodiment, the blocking member 50 is a rubber ring. Of course, in other embodiments, the blocking member 50 can also be made of other materials, as long as the blocking member 50 can abut against the external housing and provide static friction for the retaining frame 41.
[0058] In this embodiment, both the input and output wheels 20 and 30 are transmission gears. Specifically, the input and output wheels 20 and 30 may each have a plurality of uniformly arranged teeth on their circumferential sidewalls for meshing with mating gears to achieve transmission. Persons skilled in the art will be able to reasonably select and design parameters such as the pitch and module of the teeth based on practical needs. Spur gears, helical gears, or bevel gears may also be used as needed, and no specific limitations are imposed herein.
[0059] Second embodiment
[0060] Please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 This embodiment provides a clutch structure 200. Different from the previous embodiment, in this embodiment, the transmission member 42 is a regular polygonal structure, and the edges of the regular polygonal structure form a supporting portion 421, so that the clutch structure 200 can be applied to different usage scenarios, thereby improving the applicability of the clutch structure 200.
