Front wheel 2, front fork 2-1, steering rod 3, pedal sprocket 4, pedal drive rod The two-wheeled recumbent bicycle mainly comprises a front wheel 1, a rear wheel 18, a front fork 2, a frame 7, a seat 14, a pedal drive mechanism 3, a handlebar swing arm drive mechanism 8, a roller flywheel sprocket set 13, a rear wheel flydrive chain 17 and a handlebar front fork steering mechanism; the structural assembly of the frame and main mechanism components is described below.
[0006] The frame 7 is mainly composed of two stainless steel rectangular tubes (10*40*1.5), the distance between the rectangular tubes is about 68 mm, and the partial bending is used to assemble the pedal drive mechanism. The outer diameter of the five-way tube is 40*68 mm, and the five-way tube is fixedly connected to the frame 7; the pedal drive rod 4 is coaxially movably sleeved in the pedal five-way through a sleeve with an inner diameter of 40 mm; the main drive sprocket 6 is spliced by two left and right 48-tooth sprockets, with a distance of about 16 mm, and is cut and processed as follows Figure 1 The upper part is fixedly welded with the swing arm 8, and the lower part is movably connected with the pedal drive rod 4 through the linkage drive rod 5 (the movable part adopts a joint bearing), and the swing arm 8 and the pedal drive rod 4 form a linkage mechanism; the handlebar 9 is fixedly connected with the swing arm 8, and the steering adopts a common structure of bicycles. The vertical tube is assembled in the head tube (the vertical tube is 28 mm in diameter, and the head tube is 38 mm in diameter), and the steering bearing is assembled; the swing arm drive mechanism 8 is assembled in the frame 7 through the swing arm seat sleeve 8-3, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the seat sleeve trunnion 8-4 is equipped with a bearing with a deep groove ball bearing seat (bearing with an inner diameter of 20 mm), and the deep groove bearing seat is fixedly connected to the frame ear plate by bolts. Figure 3 As shown, the swing arm head tube 8-2 in the swing arm 8 is fixedly sleeved in the swing arm seat cover 8-3, a 20 mm diameter steel column is welded to the lower part of the swing arm vertical tube 8-1 (28.6), the steel column passes through the lower baffle of the swing arm seat cover 8-3 and is fixedly connected to the steering connecting plate 8-5, the steering connecting plate 8-5 is movably connected to the front fork 2 through the steering rod 2-1, and the handlebar 9 is turned to drive the front fork 2 to rotate synchronously through the steering rod 2-1; The local structure of the roller flywheel toothed disc group 13 is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, roller (D25*65) 13-1, the structure is as follows Figure 4 As shown, the roller is assembled with the left flywheel 10-1 through the left flywheel sleeve 10-2, and the flywheel sleeve 10-2 is fixedly connected with the roller 13-1 through screws; the right flywheel 12-1 is assembled with the right inner and outer thread flywheel sleeve 12-2 (structure as shown Figure 5 The flywheel 13-1 is mounted on the right inner and outer thread flywheel sleeve 12-2, and the flywheel 16 (number of teeth 32) is fixedly mounted on the flywheel 13-1. The pedal flywheel 7-2 is mounted in the right inner and outer thread flywheel sleeve 12-2 through the flywheel connector 7-3. The right inner and outer thread flywheel sleeve 12-2 is welded and fixed to the roller 13-1. The following describes the driving transmission relationship of the roller flywheel sprocket set 13. First, the principle of unidirectional flywheel rotation is described. The rear flywheel of the bicycle is connected to the hub. Under normal pedaling drive, the chain drives the flywheel to rotate forward. If it encounters a downhill slope, no pedaling drive is required. The bicycle rotates by itself relying on inertial gravity. At this time, the chain does not rotate, and the flywheel idling and sliding. At this time, the flywheel rotates unidirectionally. Understanding this principle is the key to understanding the driving transmission relationship of the roller flywheel sprocket set 13. As mentioned above, the right inner and outer flywheel sleeve 12-2 is equipped with two flywheels (12-1, 7-2) and a flywheel sprocket 16 (number of teeth 32). At this time, if only the pedal drive is used, the pedal flywheel 7-2 is driven in the forward direction, driving the flywheel sprocket 16 to rotate forward, thereby driving the rear wheel of the bicycle to rotate forward. At this time, the roller 13-1 rotates forward, and the roller 13-1 is fixedly connected with the left flywheel 10-1 and the inner core of the right flywheel 12-1. The outer gear rings of the two flywheels do not rotate and are in idling gliding. At this point, the pedal drive and the rowing drive are freely separated and do not interfere with each other; on the contrary, if only the rowing drive is used, The left flywheel 10-1 and the right flywheel 12-1 drive the roller 13-1 to rotate forward in turn, and the roller (D25*65) 13-1 forms a fixed connection with the inner core of the pedal flywheel 7-2, idling and sliding, and the outer gear ring does not rotate, thereby completing the free isolation of the rowing drive and the pedal drive, and the two do not interfere with each other.
[0007] The following is based on Figure 4 and Figure 5 Combined with Figure 1 , Figure 2 Explain the transmission principle and relationship between rowing drive and pedal drive: like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the swing arm 8 swings backward as shown by the arrow, the left sprocket of the main drive sprocket 6 drives the left drive chain 10 to drive the left flywheel 10-1 to rotate in the direction of the arrow, at this time the left return spring 11 is stretched, the left flywheel 10-1 drives the roller 13-1 to rotate forward, thereby driving the flywheel sprocket 16 to rotate forward, during this process, the right drive chain 12 moves in the direction as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown by the middle arrow, the right return spring 12-3 drives the right flywheel 12-1 to slide in the opposite direction, and the spring drives the chain to reset. The right flywheel 12-1 slides in the opposite direction without driving. As the swing arm 8 is pulled backward to the limit position, the left return spring 11 is stretched to the maximum elastic position, and the right return spring 12-3 returns to the free position. At this time, the swing arm 8 is converted from the backward pulling state to the forward pushing state. Figure 5 As shown in the figure, as shown by the arrow, the swing arm swings forward in the direction of the arrow, the right drive chain 12 moves in the direction of the arrow, the right return spring 12-3 drives the right flywheel 12-1 to drive the roller 13-1 to rotate forward, thereby driving the flywheel sprocket 16 to rotate forward. In this process, the left drive chain 10 moves in the direction of the arrow in the figure, and the left return spring 11 drives the left flywheel 10-1 to slide in the opposite direction. The left flywheel 10-1 has no driving effect. As the swing arm 8 is pushed to the limit position, the right return spring 12-3 is stretched to the maximum elastic force position, and the left return spring 11 returns to the free position. At this time, the swing arm 8 is converted from the forward push state to the backward pull state, thereby starting the next rowing swing cycle, and the cycle repeats. As mentioned above, the front and rear push-pull rowing drive is freely isolated from the pedal drive and does not interfere with each other.
[0008] If you stop rowing and only use pedaling, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, by stepping on the pedal crank, the pedal chain 7-1, as shown by the arrow in the figure, drives the pedal flywheel 7-2 to rotate forward, thereby driving the flywheel 16 to rotate forward. At this time, the left flywheel 10-1 and the right flywheel 12-1 are in an idling state, realizing the free isolation of the pedal drive and the rowing drive, and the two drive modes can be freely and seamlessly switched at any time without interfering with each other. In addition, the pedal drive and the boat-changing drive can be carried out at the same time without interfering with each other. At this point, the three drive modes can be freely and seamlessly switched at any time without interfering with each other.
