Description

[0002] For electric-assisted bicycles, the motor is responsible for providing auxiliary power. The motor drive system of an electric-assisted bicycle is what sets it apart from other bicycles. When the rider pedals, sensors detect the force and speed of the pedaling, transmitting information such as speed, cadence, and torque to the controller. The controller then calculates and issues instructions to control the motor's operation.

[0034] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. The following examples will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention in any form. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several changes and improvements can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. These all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a mid-mounted motor drive system provided by the present invention includes a torque sensor assembly 101, an output shaft assembly 102, a magnetic braid assembly 103, a motor and a controller 2.
[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, the end of the motor gear shaft 30 of the motor is a first-stage gear shaft with a smaller number of teeth. The first-stage gear shaft is engaged with the large gear of the double gear 8, and the small gear of the double gear 8 is engaged with the output shaft assembly 102. The speed is reduced on the output shaft assembly 102 side to convert the high speed of the motor rotor into a stable high-torque low-speed output of the output shaft.
[0037] The output shaft assembly 102 includes a large gear 10, a one-way needle roller bearing 11, an output shaft 12, a third bearing 14, a ratchet 17, a pawl 19, a ratchet ring 20, and a tensioning plate 21. The large gear 10 is connected to the outer ring of the one-way needle roller bearing 11, the output shaft 12 is connected to the inner ring of the one-way needle roller bearing 11, the ratchet ring 20 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the output shaft 12, the inner ring of the third bearing 14 is connected to the central shaft 16 of the torque sensor assembly 101, the ratchet 17 is connected to the outer ring of the third bearing 14, the ratchet ring 20 is coaxial with the ratchet 17, and the outer circumference of the ratchet 17 is provided with multiple mounting positions. One end of the pawl 19 is rotatably connected to the mounting position, and the tensioning plate 21 is elastically connected between the pawl 19 and the mounting position, so that the other end of the pawl 19 is in contact with the inner surface of the ratchet ring 20. The torque sensor assembly 101 is used to detect the torque of the central shaft 16, and the magnetic woven assembly 103 is used to detect the rotational speed of the motor gear shaft 30. The controller 2 controls the torque and rotational speed output by the motor according to the detected torque and rotational speed.
[0038] like Figure 4As shown, all pawls 19 are divided into n groups, n is a natural number greater than or equal to 2, and the total number of pawls 19 is 3n, that is, 3 in each group. The more pawls in each group, the higher the meshing accuracy, and the smaller the torque transmitted. However, in other embodiments, the number of pawls 19 can be more, and the present invention does not limit this. Each group of pawls 19 is evenly distributed in the circumference of the ratchet 17, and the circumferential distribution of pawls 19 of different groups in the ratchet 17 forms a preset angle of dislocation (the pawls 19 of different groups are not evenly distributed in the circumference of the ratchet 17), and the dislocation angle is half of the angle subtended by each tooth of the ratchet ring 20, that is, when there are n groups of meshing pawls, the dislocation angle is 1 / n of the angle corresponding to each tooth of the ratchet ring. Therefore, only one group of pawls 19 can engage with the ratchet teeth on the inner surface of the ratchet ring 20 at the same time. Figure 4 In the embodiment, all pawls 19 are divided into two groups, the number of ratchet rings 20 is 57, and the number of pawls 19 is 6. The cadence accuracy is approximately 3.2°, which is much lower than the cadence accuracy of approximately 10° in the case of a single group of pawls 19. Therefore, the present invention can significantly reduce the number of empty pedals caused by the large size of the ratchet groove and pawl during pedaling, that is, the slippage process before the pawl engages with the ratchet teeth, thereby improving the cadence accuracy.
[0039] The torque sensor assembly 101 includes: a central shaft 16 , a torque sensor control board 22 and a torque sleeve 23 . The torque sleeve 23 is connected to the central shaft 16 , and the torque sensor control board 22 is electrically connected to the torque sleeve 23 .
[0040] The magnetic weaving assembly 103 includes: a magnetic weaving plate 5, a signal magnetic steel 6 and an adapter 7. The signal magnetic steel 6 is connected to the end of the motor gear shaft 30 through the adapter 7. The magnetic weaving plate 5 is arranged on the outside of the signal magnetic steel 6.
[0041] The motor includes a rotor assembly 105 and a stator assembly 27. The rotor assembly 105 includes a rotor assembly 28 and a motor gear shaft 30. The rotor assembly 28 is connected to the motor gear shaft 30, and the stator assembly 27 is coaxially arranged on the outside of the rotor assembly 28.
[0042] The mid-mounted motor drive system further includes a left housing assembly 100 , a right housing assembly 106 and a housing partition assembly 104 .
[0043] The left housing assembly 100 includes: a left housing 1, a first bearing 9, a second bearing 13, a double gear 8 rotatably connected to the left housing 1 via the first bearing 9, and an output shaft 12 rotatably connected to the left housing 1 via the second bearing 13. The right housing assembly 106 includes: a right housing 24, a fourth bearing 25, a second oil seal 26, and a fifth bearing 29. The right housing 24 is connected to the left housing 1, the central shaft 16 is rotatably connected to the right housing 24 via the fourth bearing 25, the second oil seal 26 is connected to the central shaft 16 and the right housing 24, and the motor gear shaft 30 is rotatably connected to the right housing 24 via the fifth bearing 29. The casing partition assembly 104 includes a casing partition 3, a sixth bearing 31, and a seventh bearing 33. The casing partition 3 is located between the left casing 1 and the right casing 24. The motor gear shaft 30 is rotatably connected to the casing partition 3 via the sixth bearing 31, and the duplex gear 8 is rotatably connected to the casing partition 3 via the seventh bearing 33. A waterproof gasket 32 is provided at the connection between the right casing 24 and the left casing 1, and an oil shield 4 is provided at the connection between the duplex gear 8 and the motor gear shaft 30. A first oil seal 15 is connected between the center shaft 16 and the output shaft 12, and a bushing 18 is connected between the output shaft 12 and the left casing 1.
[0044] When a person steps on the middle shaft 16, the middle shaft 16 drives the torque sleeve 23, which in turn drives the output shaft 12 to output torque through the ratchet 17, ratchet teeth 19, and ratchet ring 20. Because the ratchet mechanism in this solution is a high-precision ratchet mechanism, it can accurately capture the magnitude of the foot-stepping torque in conjunction with the torque sensor assembly 101. The torque sensor assembly 101 feeds back the accurate torque changes to the controller 2, which then precisely controls the speed and torque of the motor's rotor assembly 105. The speed output by the rotor assembly 105 passes through the motor gear shaft 30, and then the double gear 8 transmits power to the output shaft assembly 102, thereby controlling the torque output of the motor.
