Description

[0002] Bicycles, also known as bicycles or bikes, are usually small two-wheeled land vehicles. People ride on the bicycles and use pedals as power. It is a green and environmentally friendly means of transportation. Bicycles are widely used, but existing bicycles have many defects:

[0003] 1: According to the authorized patent number: CN202022772885.0, a chainless shaft-driven bicycle, this technology mainly uses bevel gear transmission technology to solve the transmission problem of the bicycle, achieving the effect of fast and comfortable riding, less maintenance, and green travel. However, this technology has the following defects: the bicycle transmission ratio is fixed and does not have a speed change function.

[0004] 2: According to the authorized patent number: CN202123231927.0, a gear-driven bicycle, this technology mainly adopts multi-stage gear transmission technology to solve the transmission problem of the bicycle, which is more stable than the chain transmission method of the traditional bicycle and will not cause the chain to fall off. However, this technology has the following defects: the gears of the transmission part of the bicycle are exposed to the air, without effective protection, easy to damage, and not conducive to long-term use.

[0028] Example: See Figure 1-4 The utility model provides a technical solution: a gear-driven bicycle, comprising a rear wheel 1, a frame 4, a front wheel 11, two transmission shaft boxes 17 and a gearbox 30, a seat 3, a front fork 10, and a bracket 18 are mounted on the frame 4, the front fork 10 and the front wheel 11 are connected by a front hub 23, a bracket 18 is mounted at the middle of the bottom end of the frame 4, a gearbox 30 is mounted on the bracket 18 by screws, transmission shaft boxes 17 are mounted on both sides of the gearbox 30, one end of the transmission shaft box 17 is connected to the rear wheel 1 through a rear hub 44, and a main gearbox 30 is arranged in the middle of the gearbox 30. Axle 24, a first bevel gear 40 is installed at one end of the main shaft 24, a second bevel gear 39 is installed at the other end of the main shaft 24, a right-side transmission shaft 43 is arranged inside the transmission shaft box 17 on one side of the frame 4, a left-side transmission shaft 36 is arranged inside the transmission shaft box 17 on the other side of the frame 4, a fourth bevel gear 37 is installed at one end of the right transmission shaft 43 and the left transmission shaft 36, a third bevel gear 34 is installed at the other end of the right transmission shaft 43 and the left transmission shaft 36, a rear wheel shaft is arranged inside the rear hub 44, and bevel gear shafts 33 are fixed at both ends of the rear wheel shaft.

[0029] The third bevel gear 34 at the other end of the right transmission shaft 43 and the left transmission shaft 36 is meshed and connected with the bevel teeth at both ends of the bevel gear shaft 33 .

[0030] The fourth bevel gear 37 at one end of the left transmission shaft 36 is meshed and connected with the second bevel gear 39 on the main shaft 24 , and the fourth bevel gear 37 at one end of the right transmission shaft 43 is meshed and connected with the first bevel gear 40 on the main shaft 24 .

The left transmission shaft 36 and the right transmission shaft 43 are both installed inside the transmission shaft box 17 through cylindrical roller bearings 35. The rear hub 44 is installed on the frame 4.

[0032] A spline is provided in the middle section of the main shaft 24, which is connected to the synchronizer 28 through the spline. A synchronizer sleeve 25 is installed at each end of the main shaft 24. The synchronizer sleeve 25 is connected to the left transmission sleeve 38 and the right transmission sleeve 41 through a flat key. The synchronizer sleeve 25 is fixed on the deep groove ball bearing 26. One end of the synchronizer sleeve 25 is meshed with the synchronizer 28, and the other end is connected to the transmission shaft box 17. A paddle 31 is installed on the synchronizer 28. The paddle 31 is connected to the shift shaft 32. A return spring 29 is sleeved on the shift shaft 32. When the speed switch is turned, the speed change line is pulled, thereby pulling the shift shaft to move, thereby driving the paddle. The paddle drives the synchronizer to move, changing the synchronizer sleeve meshed with it, so that the power is transmitted to different transmission boxes.

[0033] Both ends of the main shaft 24 are fixedly connected through the crank 20 and the pedal 19, a support foot 16 is installed on the transmission shaft box 17 on one side of the frame 4, both ends of the gearbox 30 are installed with gearbox end covers 27, the tops of both sides of the gearbox 30 are installed with front end upper end covers 21, and the bottoms of both sides of the gearbox 30 are installed with front end lower end covers 22.

[0035] The rear hub 44 is connected to the rear wheel 1 through the spokes 2 , and the front hub 23 is connected to the front wheel 11 through the spokes 2 .

[0036] Working principle: A gear-driven bicycle, firstly, adopts gear drive to solve the problems of chain dragging and chain breaking caused by chain drive of traditional bicycles; secondly, by adding a speed change system, the problem of difficult speed change for gear-driven bicycles is solved, so that gear-driven bicycles can achieve two-stage speed change; finally, by separately designing the speed change and transmission parts, the problem of difficult installation and maintenance of the transmission system of gear-driven bicycles, as well as the problem of being unable to use in case of emergencies such as gear damage, is solved.

[0037] When in use, the main shaft 24 is rotated by the pedal 19, thereby driving the second bevel gear 39 and the first bevel gear 40 to rotate, and the first bevel gear 40 and the second bevel gear 39 are used to rotate to drive the left transmission shaft 36 and the right transmission shaft 43 to rotate, and the left transmission shaft 36 and the right transmission shaft 43 are used to rotate around the cylindrical roller bearing 35, thereby driving the third bevel gear 34 to rotate, thereby driving the bevel gear shaft 33 on the rear hub 44 to rotate, thereby driving the rear wheel 1 on the rear hub 44 to rotate, thereby pushing the front wheel 11 to rotate forward, thereby pushing the entire bicycle forward, and when it is necessary to change speed, by adjusting the speed change switch 5, the speed change cable 8 is driven to pull the shift shaft 32 to move, thereby driving the shifter The paddle 31 drives the synchronizer 28 to move, changing the synchronizer sleeve 25 meshing with it, so that the power is transmitted to different transmission shaft boxes 17 to achieve the purpose of speed regulation. Specifically, the pedal drives the main shaft to rotate, and the main shaft drives the synchronizer to rotate through the spline. The synchronizer meshes with the synchronizer sleeve, driving the synchronizer sleeve to rotate, and the synchronizer sleeve drives the transmission sleeve to rotate through the flat key. By toggling the speed switch, the speed change line pulls the shift shaft to drive the paddle, and the paddle drives the synchronizer to mesh with the left and right synchronizer sleeves. Different bevel gears are installed on the synchronizer sleeves, thereby realizing the change of the transmission ratio, thereby realizing the speed change of the bicycle. When the speed switch 5 is restored to its original state, the synchronizer 28 is restored to its original state under the action of the return spring 29.

[0038] When braking is needed, the brakes 15 on the rear wheel 1 and the front wheel 11 are tightened by the brake handle 7 using the brake line 9, so that the brakes 15 are used to fix the brake discs 12 on the front hub 23 and the rear hub 44, thereby slowing down the rear wheel 1 and the front wheel 11.

[0039] The transmission shaft box 17 is composed of a front end box body, a transmission shaft box body, and a rear end box body. Both ends of the transmission shaft box 17 are flange-shaped and connected to the front and rear boxes by screws. The front end box body and the rear end box body of the transmission shaft box 17 are split, each divided into an upper and a lower part, and the two parts are connected by bolts and nuts.

[0040] The movement is realized by the main shaft 24 driving the synchronizer 28 to rotate, the synchronizer 28 drives the synchronization sleeve 25 to rotate, the synchronization sleeve 25 drives the left transmission sleeve 38 or the right transmission sleeve 41 to rotate through the flat key, the left transmission sleeve 38 and the right transmission sleeve 41 drive the second bevel gear 39 and the first bevel gear 40 to rotate, the second bevel gear 39 and the first bevel gear 40 drive the left transmission shaft 36 and the right transmission shaft 43 to rotate through the meshing of the bevel gears, and transmit the power to the bevel gear shaft 33, the bevel gear shaft 33 drives the rear hub 44 to rotate, and the rear hub 44 drives the rear wheel 1 to rotate, thereby realizing the rear drive of the bicycle.

[0041] The two synchronizing sleeves 25 in the gearbox 30 are respectively connected to the left transmission sleeve 38 and the right transmission sleeve 41 in the transmission case. After the transmission case on one side is missing, when the synchronizer is connected to the synchronizing sleeve on that side, pedaling will not drive the bicycle wheel to rotate, but when it is connected to the synchronizing sleeve on the other side, the transmission system on the corresponding side can still work.

[0042] The above embodiments only express the implementation methods of the utility model, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model.
