Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bicycles, in particular to an internal gear direct drive bicycle. Background Art

[0002] The main power transmission method of traditional bicycles is: the pedals drive the chainrings, the chainrings drive the chain, and the chain drives the flywheel to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the wheels.

[0003] The main components of a traditional bicycle frame are: top tube, down tube, seat tube, seat fork, and chain fork. The frame is a prismatic shape formed by the overlapping adjacent hypotenuses of two triangles, one upright and one inverted.

[0004] The above-mentioned traditional bicycle has the following shortcomings:

[0005] 1. Riding is laborious: there are many transmission links and the power loss is large;

[0006] 2. Heavy body: The wheels are large, the body is long, the frame structure is complex, and the body is very heavy. For example, a 28-model traditional bicycle has a wheel diameter of 71cm, a body length of 180cm, and a total weight of 20kg.

[0007] 3. Complex system: For example, traditional speed-changing bicycles are equipped with complex speed-changing systems in order to start quickly, accelerate quickly, and travel quickly. This not only increases manufacturing costs but is also prone to failures, such as chain drops.

[0008] 4. Poor applicability: Large diameter wheels and small adjustment range of the distance between the seat and the middle axis make it unsuitable for people with large height differences. Utility Model Content

[0009] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to overcome the defects of the above-mentioned technology and provide an internal gear direct drive bicycle, in which the driving wheel of the bicycle is designed as an internal gear chainring, which meshes with the driven wheel, i.e., the flywheel, to directly drive the flywheel and drive the wheel to rotate.

[0010] The bicycle comprises a frame, a handlebar, a seat, a front wheel and a rear wheel, wherein the frame comprises a main beam, the handlebar and the front wheel are mounted on the front end of the main beam, the rear wheel is mounted on the rear end of the main beam, and the seat is mounted on the upper side of one end of the main beam close to the rear wheel;

[0011] The tail end of the main beam is connected to a rear wheel mounting frame for mounting the rear wheel through a center shaft tube. A rotatable center shaft is coaxially provided in the center shaft tube. Cranks for connecting to pedals are fixed at both ends of the center shaft. An internal gear chainring is coaxially fixed on the center shaft and located between the center shaft tube and the right crank.

[0012] A rotating rear axle is installed at the bottom end of the rear wheel mounting frame, the rear wheel is coaxially fixed to the middle part of the rear axle, and an eccentric flywheel meshing with an internal gear sprocket is provided at the right end of the rear axle.

[0013] Furthermore, the rear wheel mounting frame includes a left rear fork upper section and a right rear fork upper section connected to the bottom tube, a detachable left rear fork lower section is provided on the left side of the bottom end of the left rear fork upper section, and a detachable right rear fork lower section is provided on the left side of the bottom end of the right rear fork upper section, and the left rear fork lower section and the right rear fork lower section are connected to the rear axle through bearings.

[0014] Furthermore, the left rear fork upper section is located above the left rear fork lower section and is provided with an adjustment screw, and the right rear fork lower section is located below the right rear fork upper section and is provided with an adjustment screw, and the left rear fork upper section and the left rear fork lower section, as well as the right rear fork upper section and the right rear fork lower section are fixedly connected by fastening screws.

[0015] Furthermore, an insert block is provided on the left side of the bottom end of the left rear fork upper section and the left side of the bottom end of the right rear fork upper section, and a slot is provided on the right side of the top end of the left rear fork lower section and the right side of the top end of the right rear lower fork section to cooperate with the insert block;

[0016] The insert block of the upper section of the left rear fork is provided with a through screw hole, and the slot of the lower section of the left rear fork is provided with a through bar hole that matches the screw hole;

[0017] A penetrating strip hole is provided on the insert block of the upper section of the right rear fork, and a penetrating screw hole that matches the strip hole is provided on the slot of the lower section of the right rear fork.

[0018] Furthermore, the internal toothed sprocket includes a disc body, and a plurality of tooth pins are provided on the inner side of the periphery of the disc body. The tooth pins include bearings, washers and shoulder screws, and the bearings and washers are mounted on the disc body via the shoulder screws.

[0019] Advantages of the utility model: the utility model has a reasonable structure, a compact size, a simplified structure, eliminates the need for a complex speed change system, saves effort in riding, is light and fast, has good comfort, and greatly reduces manufacturing costs;

[0020] 1. Labor-saving: First, the internal gear direct drive transmission system rotates the crank, pedals, and internal gear chainring assembly, driving the flywheel and rear wheel assembly at the driven end to rotate. The friction point is only one point where the internal gear chainring and flywheel are engaged. There are no dozens of meshing friction points between the chainring and chain, and between the chain and flywheel, as in traditional bicycle transmission systems, and dozens of friction points caused by the continuous bending and straightening of the chain.

[0021] The second is to design the "teeth" of the internal gear chainring as bearings, and use shoulder screws to arrange the bearings on the wheel disc to form rotating teeth to reduce friction between the chainring and the flywheel;

[0022] The third is the small rear wheel design, which makes the crank length equal to the radius of the rear wheel, giving play to the crank's long moment arm effect, thereby increasing the driving force when the bicycle starts, playing the role of a traditional speed-shifting bicycle, where the small chainring drives the large flywheel;

[0023] 2. Fast: The internal gear chainring is designed as a "large chainring". During normal riding, it achieves the effect of a traditional speed-changing bicycle, where the large chainring drives the small flywheel to ensure the speed.

[0024] 3. Lightweight: simple design, small wheels, short body, light weight, wide range of seat height adjustment, suitable for adults and children;

[0025] 4. Cheap: The simple and lightweight design directly reduces manufacturing costs. At the same time, the entire vehicle uses a large number of standard bicycle parts and existing production and manufacturing technologies, making the already green and environmentally friendly bicycle even cheaper.
