[0035] Exemplarily, the elastic member is a spring, the first gear ring 21 and the hub seat 2 are provided with a first spring 22, and the second gear ring 31 and the tower base 3 are provided with a second spring 32. When the tower base 3 is driven by the freewheel to rotate in the positive direction, the first meshing tooth 211 and the second meshing tooth 311 are meshed and transmitted, and when the tower base 3 is driven by the freewheel to rotate in the reverse direction, the second meshing tooth 311 and the first meshing tooth 211 are jumped under the action of the elastic member, so as to realize idling.
[0036] It should be noted that in the present embodiment, the ratchet structure is arranged as two toothed rings respectively arranged on the hub seat 2 and the tower base 3, and elastic members are arranged between the hub seat 2 and the first toothed ring 21 and between the tower base 3 and the second toothed ring 31, so that in the process of engaging transmission or skipping idling of the first engaging teeth 211 and the second engaging teeth 311, the elastic members on both sides can jointly bear the pressure generated in the rotating process, reduce one-way wear, thereby prolonging the service life of the hub. At the same time, the elastic members arranged at both ends can better balance the stress of the wheel in the rotating process, so that the stability of the hub is better. In addition, the two toothed rings are designed separately, which is conducive to the replacement and maintenance of the ratchet structure, and reduces the replacement cost.
[0037] In a preferred embodiment, the first toothed ring 21 and the second toothed ring 31 have the same structure, which is conducive to installation, prevents misinstallation, and also reduces mold opening cost. Further, the outer peripheral wall of the toothed ring is provided with a spline 313 extending in the axial direction, and the hub seat 2 and the tower base 3 are correspondingly provided with a spline groove matched with the spline 313, so as to realize circumferential transmission, that is, the tower base 3 drives the second toothed ring 31 to rotate, and the first toothed ring 21 drives the hub seat 2 to rotate.
