A second fixing seat 19 is provided on the outer periphery of one side of the pressing rod 3 away from the first fixing seat 21. A spring 22 is provided around the outer periphery of the pressing rod 3. And both ends of the spring 22 are respectively provided on the outer surfaces of the second fixing seat 19 and the first fixing seat 21. Specifically, by pulling the pressing rod 3, the second fixing seat 19 on its outer periphery drives the spring 22 to be compressed, thereby gradually releasing the position restriction between the limiting convex block 24 and the corresponding limiting groove 18. A limiting convex block 24 is provided at the other end of the pressing rod 3. A sliding groove 25 is provided on the inner surface of one side of the crank main shaft 1 away from the pressing rod 3. An activity rod 23 is provided inside the crank main shaft 1. And a sliding convex block 5 is provided on the outer surface of one side of the activity rod 23 close to the sliding groove 25.

Specifically, by pulling the crank arm 6 to move the activity rod 23 connected thereto, when the activity rod 23 moves, the outer surface of the sliding convex block 5 slides between the inner surfaces of the sliding groove 25, ensuring the stability of the operation.

[0026] Refer to Figures 1-5, a plurality of groups of limiting grooves 18 are provided on the outer surface of the movable rod 23 away from the sliding groove 25, and the plurality of groups of limiting grooves 18 are in limiting clamping connection with the limiting bumps 24.

Pull the crank arm 6 to move the movable rod 23 connected thereto. When the movable rod 23 moves, the outer surface of the sliding bump 5 slides between the inner surfaces of the sliding groove 25 to ensure the stability of the operation and prevent the movable rod 23 from falling off. When it is adjusted to a length suitable for the rider to ride, release the corresponding pressing rod 3, and the spring 22 drives the corresponding second fixing seat 19 to rebound, so that the limiting bump 24 forms a position limit with a new group of limiting grooves 18.

[0030] On the other hand, the rider pedals the pedal 7, enabling the first limit ring 14 to rotate stably within the rotating limit sleeve 16, and the pedal 7 can move following the movement of the rider's foot. The rotating pad 15 is arranged between the crank arm 6 and the pedal 7 to effectively buffer the friction during cycling and improve the service life. The rotation of the crank arm 6 generates a rotational motion to drive the crank main shaft 1 to rotate. The rotation of the crank main shaft 1 drives the corresponding internal gear ring 13 to rotate. Since the outer surface of the internal gear ring 13 meshes with the inner surface of the external gear ring, the rotation of the internal gear ring 13 can drive the corresponding sprocket 9 to rotate, thereby enabling the subsequent transmission system to move and achieving the purpose of driving the bicycle. The dust cover 8 is fixed by the fixing nut 10 to prevent the transmission mechanism from accumulating dust and dirt.
