Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a crankshaft structure, in particular to a crankshaft structure of a motorcycle engine. Background Art

[0002] The crankshaft is the most important component in the engine. It bears the force transmitted from the piston and connecting rod, and converts it into torque, which is output through the crankshaft and drives other accessories on the engine. The crankshaft is subjected to the combined effects of the centrifugal force of the rotating mass, the periodically changing gas inertia force and the reciprocating inertia force, causing the crankshaft to be subjected to bending and torsional loads.

[0003] For example, a support structure of a crankshaft assembly for an engine with publication number CN208252694U includes a crankset and a support, wherein the support is arranged between two cranksets of the crankshaft assembly.

[0004] In the above-mentioned crankshaft structure, the crank is a circular structure. When the crank rotates, the centrifugal force provided by the crank itself is relatively small, and the rotation of the crank is mostly driven by the engine, resulting in greater power consumption of the engine.
