Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mid-mounted motors, and in particular to a high-precision torque sensor installation structure for a mid-mounted motor. Background Art

[0002] The mid-mounted motor has a more reasonable center of gravity distribution than traditional front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive motors. Combined with the two-stage transmission and high transmission ratio, it ensures the high efficiency of the motor while multiplying the speed through the rear flywheel. The power is far superior to traditional electric vehicles. Electric-assisted bicycles with high-performance mid-mounted motor systems are beginning to become a major trend, making long-distance riding easier and easier to climb difficult steep slopes.

[0003] In traditional front-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive electric bicycles, the center axle torque sensor is mounted on the center axle. The torque sensor is a core component of the electric bicycle. It senses and measures the rider's riding torque, providing a basis for determining the power output of the electric drive unit. As a component that senses the rider's intention, the performance of the torque sensor is crucial.

[0004] At present, in order to ensure that the vehicle moves when the person moves in the power-assisted mode, the central motor system must first pedal.

[0005] The motor provides power, better control, a stronger riding feel, no sense of frustration, smooth riding and smooth acceleration, and a torque sensor is essential. However, the current center shaft torque sensor.

[0006] In the existing technology, people stepping on the spindle creates pressure, causing it to tilt at a certain angle. The torque sensor detects torque through the deformation and tilt angle of the spindle. However, the traditional spindle is directly connected to the motor using bearings, and the spindle tilt angle is not obvious, resulting in low torque detection data accuracy.
