[0037] The medium-speed chain wheel control key 1503 controls the medium-speed chain wheel 13, which is connected in the chute on the side wall of the rotating shaft 1502 through the second spring 6. When shifting to the medium-speed gear, the medium-speed chain wheel control key 1503 is displaced under force and moves to engage with the helical teeth of the ring shaft 16 of the medium-speed chain wheel 13. The crank 15 rotates to drive the medium-speed chain wheel 13 to rotate and thus operate at medium speed; the high-speed chain wheel control key 1504 controls the high-speed chain wheel 14.

The V-shaped limit blocks 802 can rotate in the grooves. The bottom of the pin 803 is connected with a return spring to limit the rotation of the V-shaped limit blocks 802. At least one side of the medium-speed guide groove 801 and the high-speed guide groove 807 is connected with a return pull spring 804, and the other end of the return pull spring 804 is connected to the second turntable 9.

[0040] The second turntable 9 is provided with a medium-speed rotating rod 901 and a high-speed rotating rod 906. One end of the medium-speed rotating rod 901 and the high-speed rotating rod 906 is rotatably connected to the second turntable 9, and the other end is provided with a support rod 902. The support rod 902 extends into the medium-speed guide groove 801 and the high-speed guide groove 807 and can slide in the grooves. The middle parts of the medium-speed rotating rod 901 and the high-speed rotating rod 906 are connected with a limit spring 903 to always lean towards the center of the second turntable 9. A first relief groove 904 and a second relief groove 905 are opened in the middle of the second turntable 9, and an adjustment assembly 100 is provided at the first relief groove 904.

Under the action of the limiting spring 903, the medium-speed rotating rod 901 and the high-speed rotating rod 906 always lean towards the center of the turntable. The support rod 902 moves in the groove and is restricted when it reaches the V-shaped limiting block 802 and is stuck in the concave cavity of the V-shaped limiting block 802. The V-shaped limiting block 802 also rebounds to the initial position under the restriction of the return spring at the bottom of the pin 803.

The high-speed pressure variable member 1203 contacts the adjusting rod 1001 of the adjusting assembly 100. When shifting to the medium-speed gear, the medium-speed small bearing 805 on the shift disk 1 presses on the medium-speed pressure variable member 1201, and the pressure rod 1202 is pressed into the groove 5 of the medium-speed chain disk control key 1503 as the medium-speed pressure variable member 1201 is pressured, controlling the medium-speed chain disk control key 1503 to push inward so that it engages with the helical teeth of the circular ring shaft 16; when shifting to the high-speed gear, the high-speed small bearing 806 on the shift disk 1 presses on the high-speed pressure variable member 1203, and the high-speed pressure variable member 1203 presses one end of the adjusting rod 1001, and the other end of the adjusting rod 1001 gives way to the circular column 4 of the high-speed chain disk control key 1504, so that under the action of the third spring 7, the protrusion 3 below the high-speed chain disk control key 1504 engages with the helical teeth of the circular ring shaft 16 of the high-speed chain disk 14.

[0047] Another object of the present invention is to provide a bicycle comprising the above bicycle three-speed transmission.

[0048] Working process and principle:

[0049] The low, medium and high speed chain discs are installed, the crank 15 is fixedly connected to the low speed chain disc 12 and the second turntable 9, the crank 15 is connected to the medium and high speed chain discs through bearings, the first turntable 8 is rotatably connected to the second turntable 9 to form an integral shift disc 1; the starting gear is the low speed gear, there is no control of the shift disc 1, except for the medium speed and high speed chain discs, all other components rotate with the crank 15, the medium speed chain disc 13 and the high speed chain disc 14 are still in a stationary state, when changing to the medium speed gear, twist the speed regulator on the handle, the speed change plate is in frictional contact with the outer ring of the shift disc 1, and the outer ring of the shift disc 1, i.e. the first turntable 8, is restricted from rotating. 8 and the second turntable 9 produce relative rotation, the medium-speed rotating rod 901 of the second turntable 9 moves along the medium-speed guide groove 801 and is restricted in the concave cavity of the V-shaped limit block 802. At this time, the medium-speed small bearing 805 of the first turntable 8 is just pressed on the medium-speed pressure-changing piece 1201 of the low-speed chain disc 12, so that the pressure rod 1202 on the medium-speed pressure-changing piece 1201 is pressed into the groove 5 of the medium-speed chain disc control key 1503, so that the medium-speed chain disc control key 1503 is matched with the helical teeth of the circular shaft 16 of the medium-speed chain disc 13. At this time, the low-speed chain disc 12 and the medium-speed chain disc 13 rotate synchronously, and the high-speed chain disc 14 is in a stationary state.

[0050] When changing to high gear, twist the speed regulator on the handle again, the speed change plate and the outer ring of the shift plate 1 frictionally contact, the second turntable 9 and the first turntable 8 produce relative rotation, the high-speed rotating rod 906 of the second turntable 9 moves along the high-speed guide groove 807, moves to the concave cavity of the V-shaped limit block 802 and is restricted. At this time, the high-speed small bearing 806 of the first turntable 8 is pressed on the high-speed pressure-changing piece 1203 of the low-speed chain disc 12, and the high-speed pressure-changing piece 1203 is pressed on the end of the adjusting rod 1001 close to the spring, so that the other end of the adjusting rod 1001 is rotated into the first give way groove 904 of the second turntable 9, so that the high-speed chain disc control key 1504 is engaged with the helical teeth of the annular shaft 16 of the high-speed chain disc 14 under the action of the third spring 7. At this time, although the low, medium and high speed chain discs are running at the same time, the low speed chain disc 12 and the medium speed chain disc 13 are actually idling.

[0051] For high-speed to low-speed adjustment, turn the speed governor on the handgrip. The variable-speed piece makes frictional contact with the outer ring of the shift disc 1. The high-speed rotating rod 906 disengages from the V-shaped limit block 802. The return tension spring 804 pulls the first turntable 8 back to the starting position. The high-speed small bearing 806 separates from the high-speed pressure-variable part 1203. At the same time, the medium-speed small bearing 805 also separates from the medium-speed pressure-variable part 1201. The crank 15 stops rotating for one second, allowing the helical teeth of the ring shaft 16 of the high-speed chain sprocket 14 to disengage from the high-speed chain sprocket control key 1504, and the helical teeth of the ring shaft 16 of the medium-speed chain sprocket 13 also disengage from the medium-speed chain sprocket control key 1503. Then the vehicle runs at a low speed.

[0052] The inclination direction of the helical teeth of the ring shaft 16 can be adjusted as needed. To protect the whole device, a protective housing can also be added outside it. The medium-speed chain sprocket 13 and the high-speed chain sprocket 14 can also be separately installed with the shift disc 1 and the low-speed chain sprocket 12.

[0053] In summary, in the present invention, the low-speed chain sprocket 12, the medium-speed chain sprocket 13, and the high-speed chain sprocket 14 respectively connect to drive their respective chains, and the shift disc 1 is used to control the gear shift, achieving smooth and easy 360-degree gear shifting without dead angles, without causing the chain to be deflected and derailed. Moreover, the internal parts are all realized through mechanical structures, without involving any electronic devices, with low production and manufacturing costs, and the relevant components of the existing bicycle can be replaced as a whole.

[0054] Only some exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been described by way of illustration. Undoubtedly, for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the described embodiments can be modified in various different ways. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
