[0002] The rear derailleur is an important component in a bicycle's speed shifting system. It usually includes a base member, a movable member, and a derailleur wheel. The movable member is connected to the base member through a parallel four-bar linkage. The derailleur wheel is mounted on the movable member. The derailleur wheel is responsible for shifting the chain between different flywheels on the rear wheel. One end of the shift cable (also known as the speed cable) is connected to the finger-shift transmission, and the other end is connected to the cable point extending from the parallel four-bar linkage. The finger-shift transmission pulls or releases the cable point through the shift cable, rotates the movable member, realizes the movement of the derailleur wheel, and achieves the purpose of shifting gears and speed.
[0003] At present, the shift cable is generally fixed to the cable pulling point by a clamping screw, which is set below the parallel four-bar linkage or on the outside of the parallel four-bar linkage away from the frame. The shift cable and the cable pulling point are easily damaged by accidental collisions, scratches, etc., and are also easily contaminated by external impurities such as mud and dust. As a result, the shift cable is not smooth during the pulling process and needs to be cleaned regularly. In addition, the external connection point will destroy the overall streamlined design of the bicycle and reduce its aesthetics. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present invention provides a rear derailleur that can reduce damage and contamination, improve the smoothness of pulling the shift cable, and enhance the overall streamlined design and aesthetics.

[0029] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, connecting, hinged, rotating, bypassing, and clamping should be understood in a broad sense. Technical personnel in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.
[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 7 The present invention discloses a compact rear derailleur having opposite first and second rotation directions, including a base component 1, a movable component 3, a derailleur wheel 4, an inner swing block 5, an outer swing block 6, a terminal frame 7 and an elastic reset member 8.
[0031] Among them, reference Figure 1 The base member 1 is configured to be mounted on a bicycle frame. The base member 1 is a fixed part of the rear derailleur. The base member 1 is sequentially mounted with a first pivot 11, a wire nozzle 13, and a second pivot 12 along the left-right direction. The wire nozzle 13 is arranged between the first pivot 11 and the second pivot 12 in the left-right direction. The wire nozzle 13 is used for allowing the shift cable 2 to pass through. One end of the shift cable 2 is connected to the shift transmission, and the other end passes through the wire nozzle 13 and is connected to the wiring rack 7.
[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 4The left side of the movable member 3 is connected to the sprocket 4, which can rotate around its own axis relative to the movable member 3. When shifting, the chain switches between different flywheels, which will cause the tension and posture to change and adjust. The sprocket 4 and the tensioning wheel will also rotate around the rotating shaft on the movable member 3. For details, please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 The movable member 3 is sequentially mounted with a fourth pivot 32 and a third pivot 31 along the left-right direction, and the axial directions of the first pivot 11, the second pivot 12, the third pivot 31 and the fourth pivot 32 are parallel to each other.
[0033] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The front end of the inner swing block 5 is hinged to the movable member 3 through the fourth pivot 32, and the rear end is hinged to the base member 1 through the first pivot 11. The front end of the outer swing block 6 is hinged to the movable member 3 through the third pivot 31, and the rear end is hinged to the base member 1 through the second pivot 12. The base member 1, the inner swing block 5, the movable member 3 and the outer swing block 6 constitute a parallel four-bar linkage, and the parallel four-bar linkage is a three-dimensional spatial structure. Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 The structural schematic diagrams of the parallel four-bar linkage are shown in the middle state and two extreme positions respectively.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 The wiring frame 7 is installed on the side of the outer swing block 6 facing the inner swing block 5 and is accommodated inside the parallel four-bar linkage. The wiring frame 7 is provided with a winding portion 71 and a clamping portion 72. The shift cable 2 is clamped on the clamping portion 72 after passing around the winding portion 71. The shift cable 2 can pull the outer swing block 6 to rotate around the second pivot 12 along the first rotation direction.
[0035] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 The elastic return member 8 is configured to apply a torque to the outer swing block 6 around the second pivot 12 in the second rotation direction. When the shifter releases the shift cable, the elastic return member 8 can force the outer swing block 6 to rotate in the second rotation direction to achieve the purpose of reset and keep the shift cable always in a tensioned state.
[0036] The present rear derailleur retains the basic frame structure of the derailleur wheel 4 being connected to the bicycle frame by rotating through a parallel four-bar linkage. On this basis, the base member 1 sets the wire nozzle 13 between the first pivot 11 and the second pivot 12 in the left and right directions. The winding portion 71 and the wire clamping portion 72 on the wiring frame 7 are installed on the side of the outer swing block 6 facing the inner swing block 5, and are accommodated in the interior of the parallel four-bar linkage. The shift cable 2 is clamped on the wire clamping portion 72 after passing around the winding portion 71, ensuring that the line segment of the shift cable 2 from the wire nozzle 13 to the wire clamping portion 72 is all within the interior of the parallel four-bar linkage, effectively enclosing and protecting the shift cable 2, the winding portion 71 and the wire clamping portion 72, avoiding accidental damage such as collision and scratching, and reducing the adhesion and contamination of impurities such as mud, dust, etc. from the outside, ensuring the smoothness of the shift cable 2 during the pulling process, without the need for frequent cleaning, and also improving the overall streamlined design and aesthetics of the bicycle.
[0037] It also achieves a compact design and reduces the overall occupied space. In addition, the shift cable 2 first passes around the winding portion 71 before being clamped in the wire clamping portion 72, preventing the shift cable 2 from interfering with the parallel four-bar linkage and further ensuring the smoothness of the shift cable 2 during the pulling process.
[0038] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 6 A first stopper 61 can be provided on the outer swing block 6. When the parallel four-bar linkage is in another extreme position, the first stopper 61 can stop the movable component 3. At this time, the sprocket 4 is in the rightmost position, and the chain is installed on the rightmost flywheel.
[0039] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 A second stopper 14 can be provided on the base member 1. When the parallel four-bar linkage is in one of its extreme positions, the second stopper 14 can stop the wiring rack 7. At this time, the sprocket 4 is in the leftmost position, and the chain is installed on the leftmost flywheel.
[0040] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 The winding portion 71 includes a winding groove 711 arranged on the outer edge of the wiring frame 7. The extension trajectory of the winding groove 711 is a curve and is perpendicular to the axial direction of the second pivot 12. The opening of the winding groove 711 is away from the second pivot 12. It can be understood that the extension trajectory of the winding groove 711 is a curve and is in the same plane, and the axial direction of the second pivot 12 is perpendicular to the plane where the extension trajectory of the winding groove 711 is located.
[0041] It is understandable that when the clamping portion 72 is not yet connected to the shift cable 2, the shift cable 2 cannot exert a pulling effect on the parallel four-bar linkage. At this time, the parallel four-bar linkage is in another extreme position under the action of the elastic reset member 8. Figure 4and Figure 5 , the distance between the inner swing block 5 and the outer swing block 6 is set to the shortest at this time, and the inner swing block 5 and the winding groove 711 define a first threading channel 9 for the shift cable 2 to pass through. The first threading channel 9 extends to the wire clamping portion 72, so that the shift cable 2 passing through the wire nozzle 13 is conveniently inserted into the first threading channel 9, and gradually extends along the internal space of the first threading channel 9 to the wire clamping portion 72, so that the shift cable 2 can smoothly bypass the winding groove 711 and be installed on the wire clamping portion 72.
[0042] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 and Figure 6 The extension trajectory of the winding groove 711 is an arc line with the second pivot 12 as the center, and when the shift cable 2 is pulled or released, the winding groove 711 just rotates around the second pivot 12. That is to say, when the shift cable 2 is pulled or released, the line segment of the shift cable 2 between the wire nozzle 13 and the winding groove 711 always maintains the same length and posture. Assuming that the winding groove 711 rotates a certain angle, the shift cable 2 just pulls or releases the arc length corresponding to the angle on the winding groove 711, and the angle of rotation of the winding groove 711 can correspond to the distance that the sprocket 4 moves along its axial direction. Therefore, the length of the shift cable 2 required to pull or release each gear shift of the finger-shift transmission can be easily designed according to the axial distance between different flywheels.
[0043] Reference Figure 5 In some embodiments, an avoidance groove 51 is opened on the side of the inner swing block 5 facing the winding portion 71. When the distance between the inner swing block 5 and the outer swing block 6 is the shortest, the winding portion 71 extends into the avoidance groove 51, and the bottom of the avoidance groove 51 and the winding groove 711 are enclosed to form a first threading channel 9. In this way, the internal space of the parallel four-bar linkage can be maximized, so that the pulling radius of the shift cable 2 relative to the second pivot 12 can be designed to be maximized, that is, the rotation radius of the winding groove 711 around the second pivot 12 can be designed to be maximized, and the cable pulling ratio of the bicycle can be improved. The cable pulling ratio is specifically the ratio of the distance the shift cable 2 is moved by the finger-shift transmission to the actual distance the derailleur wheel 4 moves along the axial direction of the flywheel. This reduces the manual force required for the shifting operation, and after taking into account the error conversion, it can also improve the shifting accuracy.
[0044] In some embodiments, reference Figure 5 and Figure 7 The winding portion 71 includes a wire threading flare 712, which is connected to the end of the winding groove 711 away from the wire clamping portion 72. The wire threading flare 712 gradually expands in the direction close to the wire nozzle 13 and gradually shrinks in the direction close to the winding groove 711. The first wire threading channel 9 extends from the wire threading flare 712 to the wire clamping portion 72, and can smoothly guide the shift cable 2 that passes through the wire nozzle 13 into the first wire threading channel 9.
[0045] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the wire clamping portion 72 includes a positioning block 721, a pressing block 722 and a fastener 723. The positioning block 721 is fixedly installed on the wiring frame 7. The pressing block 722 can be fastened to the positioning block 721 through the fastener 723. The pressing block 722 is configured to cooperate with the positioning block 721 to clamp the shift wire 2. The fastener 723 can specifically be a screw. The pressing block 722 has a corresponding through hole, and the positioning block 721 has an internal threaded hole. The fastener 723 passes through the through hole and is threadedly connected to the internal threaded hole to clamp the shift wire 2 between the pressing block 722 and the positioning block 721.
[0046] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, a side stopper 724 is provided on the pressure block 722 at one end away from the fastener 723 and extending toward the positioning block 721. Before the pressure block 722 and the positioning block 721 clamp the shift cable 2, a second threading channel 10 is defined between the positioning block 721, the side stopper 724, the pressure block 722 and the fastener 723, and the second threading channel 10 can allow the shift cable 2 to pass through.
[0047] Among them, the axial direction of the sprocket 4 extends in the left and right directions so that the extension plane of the sprocket 4 remains parallel to the flywheel, and the second pivot 12 and the third pivot 31 are both perpendicular to the axial direction of the sprocket 4, so that the outer swing block 6 is roughly in a vertical state, and the axial direction of the fastener 723 is not parallel to the axial direction of the second pivot 12. The second threading channel 10 starts to extend downward or upward from one end close to the winding part 71. When the shift cable 2 passes through the second threading channel 10, it also tilts downward or upward, and can directly pass through the parallel four-bar linkage mechanism downward or upward, or bend downward or upward after contacting the outer swing block 6 and pass through the parallel four-bar linkage mechanism. The shift cable 2 passing through the parallel four-bar linkage mechanism provides an operating space for the user, so that the user can clamp the end of the shift cable 2 and tighten the shift cable 2, and then tighten the fastener 723 to clamp the shift cable 2 with the pressure block 722 and the positioning block 721, so as to facilitate the installation of the shift cable 2.
[0048] In some embodiments, reference Figure 7 The positioning block 721 is provided with an anti-slip groove 725 on the side facing the pressure block 722. The anti-slip groove 725 is configured to cooperate with the pressure block 722 to clamp the shift cable 2. Once the shift cable 2 is clamped between the anti-slip groove 725 and the pressure block 722, the anti-slip groove 725 can accommodate part of the shift cable 2 to constrain the shift cable 2 and prevent the shift cable 2 from deviating from the positioning block 721, ensuring that the shift cable 2 will not deviate from both sides of the extension direction of the anti-slip groove 725.
[0049] In some embodiments, a plurality of protrusions 726 are provided in the anti-slip groove 725 at intervals along the extension direction. Figure 7The protrusion 726 extends from the bottom of the anti-slip groove 725 toward the pressure block 722 but does not exceed the opening of the anti-slip groove 725. Once the shift cable 2 is clamped between the anti-slip groove 725 and the pressure block 722, the protrusion 726 provides friction force to the shift cable 2 along the extension direction of the anti-slip groove 725, ensuring that the shift cable 2 will not move relatively along the extension direction of the anti-slip groove 725.
[0050] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 The elastic reset member 8 is a tension spring, and the elastic reset member 8 is arranged between the fourth pivot 32 and the position of the outer swing block 6 that deviates from the third pivot 31. It should be noted that in the entire process of the parallel four-bar linkage moving from another extreme position to one of the extreme positions, that is, Figure 4 The state shown moves to Figure 2 During the entire process of the shown state, the elastic return member 8 is gradually stretched. Then, when the shift cable 2 is released by the finger-shift transmission, the elastic return member 8 has a tendency to pull back and recover, forcing the fourth pivot 32 to approach the outer swing block 6, that is, the outer swing block 6 and the inner swing block 5 both rotate along the second rotation direction, so as to achieve the purpose of reset and keep the shift cable 2 always in a tensioned state.
[0051] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0052] Of course, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. Those skilled in the art may make equivalent modifications or substitutions without violating the spirit of the present invention. These equivalent modifications or substitutions are all included in the scope defined by the claims of this application.
