Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of hamster wheels, in particular to a hamster wheel structure with a power generation function. Background Art

[0002] Hamsters are particularly active pets that need exercise. If hamsters are not given enough space to exercise, they can easily become depressed and attack each other. Hamsters are more likely to suffer from cage paralysis, obesity, and even premature death. The hamster wheel is the main tool for hamsters or other rodents to exercise and play. The main structure is to mount a wheel rim on one or a pair of short shafts. When the hamster runs in the wheel rim, the wheel rim will keep turning, and the hamster can have enough exercise opportunities to release excess energy. When the hamster runs in the hamster wheel, it will generate strong power on the hamster wheel. If this power is not used, it is easy to cause great waste. It is very necessary to convert the power generated by the hamster's running into electricity, which can not only meet the needs of hamsters for exercise and fitness, but also recycle energy for use. Based on this, we propose a hamster wheel structure with power generation function. Utility Model Content

Moreover, no matter which direction the hamster runs, the micro generator 3 can be driven to generate electricity, which has high practicality. Among them, the transmission mechanism is arranged in the box body 1 and the two transmission boxes 6, and the transmission mechanism includes: a rotating gear 7, a first gear 8, a first transmission rod 9, a second transmission rod 10, a second gear 11, a linkage gear 12 and a linkage assembly. The rotating gear 7 is fixedly connected to the drum 2, and two first gears 8 are provided. The two first gears 8 are both rotatably connected in the box body 1, and the two The first gears 8 are meshed with the rotating gear 7, two first transmission rods 9 are provided, one end of the two first transmission rods 9 is fixedly connected to the two first gears 8 respectively, the other ends of the two first transmission rods 9 respectively penetrate the transmission box 6 and extend into the two transmission boxes 6 respectively, two second transmission rods 10 are provided, one end of the two second transmission rods 10 is rotatably connected to the two transmission boxes 6 respectively, two second gears 11 are provided, the two second gears 11 are fixedly connected to the two second transmission rods 10 respectively, the linkage gear 12 is rotatably connected in the box body 1, the linkage gear 12 is meshed with one of the second gears 11, the linkage assembly is arranged in the box body 1, and is used to transmit power to the micro generator 3, and the linkage assembly includes: a rotating gear 17, a driving wheel 18, The transmission wheel 19 and the driving belt 20, the rotating gear 17 is rotatably connected in the box body 1, the rotating gear 17 is meshed with one of the second gears 11 and the linkage gear 12, the driving wheel 18 is fixedly connected to the rotating gear 17, the transmission wheel 19 is fixedly connected to the micro-generator 3, a plurality of driving belts 20 are provided, and the plurality of driving belts 20 are all transmission-connected between the driving wheel 18 and the transmission wheel 19, two clutch mechanisms are provided, and the two clutch mechanisms are respectively arranged in the two transmission boxes 6, and the clutch mechanism includes: a rotating barrel 13, a limiting gear 14, a limiting frame 15 and a supporting spring 16, the rotating barrel 13 is rotatably connected in the transmission box 6, two limiting gears 14 are provided, and the two limiting gears 14 are respectively fixedly connected to the first transmission rod 9 and the second transmission rod 10,The limit frame 15 is rotatably connected in the rotating barrel 13, and the limit frame 15 is meshed with the two limit gears 14. A plurality of support springs 16 are provided, and the plurality of support springs 16 are fixedly connected between the rotating barrel 13 and the limit gear 14. Specifically, when the hamster runs in one direction in the drum 2, the drum 2 is driven to rotate. When the drum 2 rotates, the rotating gear 7 and the two first gears 8 are driven to rotate. When the two first gears 8 rotate, the first transmission rod 9 is driven to rotate, thereby driving the limit gear 14 to rotate. When the limit gear 14 rotates, the limit frame 15 is supported by the support springs 16, and the two adjacent limit gears 14 are rotated by the limit frame 15. The limit gears 14 are limited in position, so that when one of the limit gears 14 rotates, the adjacent limit gear 14 idles, and the other two limit gears 14 are limited by the support of the limit frame 15, driving the two limit gears 14 to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the second gear 11 and the rotating gear 17 to rotate. When the rotating gear 17 rotates, it drives the driving wheel 18 to rotate. When the driving wheel 18 rotates, it drives the driving belt 20 to drive the transmission wheel 19 to rotate, thereby driving the micro-generator 3 to rotate and generate electricity. The electricity generated by the micro-generator 3 is stored in the battery 4 for the convenience of the breeder. When the hamster runs in the drum 2 in another direction, it is the opposite.

[0044] In this embodiment, when the hamster runs in one direction in the drum 2, the drum 2 drives the rotating gear 7 and the two first gears 8 to rotate when it rotates. When the two first gears 8 rotate, they drive the first transmission rod 9 to rotate, thereby driving the limit gear 14 to rotate. When the limit gear 14 rotates, the limit frame 15 is supported by the support spring 16, and the two adjacent limit gears 14 are limited by the limit frame 15, so that when one of the limit gears 14 rotates, the limit frame 15 will not limit the two limit gears 14, so that the adjacent limit gear 14 rotates idly, and the other two limit gears 14 are limited by the support of the limit frame 15, so that the two limit gears 14 rotate synchronously, thereby driving the second gear 11 and the rotating gear 17 to rotate. When the rotating gear 17 rotates, it drives the driving wheel 18 to rotate. When the driving wheel 18 rotates, it drives the transmission through the drive belt 20. The driving wheel 19 rotates, thereby driving the micro-generator 3 to rotate and generate electricity. The electricity generated by the micro-generator 3 is stored in the battery 4. Since the two limit frames 15 are arranged opposite to each other, when the hamster runs in one direction, the limit frame 15 opposite to the rotation direction of the drum 2 will not limit the limit gear 14, while the other limit frame 15 will support the two adjacent limit gears 14, so that the two limit gears 14 rotate synchronously, thereby driving the second gear 11 to rotate. When the hamster runs in another direction, the opposite is true. The only difference is that when one of the second gears 11 rotates, the linkage gear 12 engages with the second gear 11, thereby changing the rotation direction and continuing to drive the micro-generator 3 to generate electricity. In other words, no matter which direction the turbo hamster runs in the drum 2, the rotating gear 17 will rotate in one direction, thereby facilitating driving the micro-generator 3 to generate electricity.

[0045] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
