Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to bicycle technical field, concretely relates to a multi-mode children's bicycle. BACKGROUND

[0002] Children's bicycle is the best tool for outdoor exercise for children, and children of different ages use bicycles with different functions. For example, children aged 2-3 years old cannot pedal a bicycle, and generally use a sliding bicycle. Children aged 3-6 years old use a bicycle with pedals and a chain to ride and play.

[0003] In order to expand the use function of the bicycle, CN209719797 U discloses a bicycle, which comprises a front frame provided with a front wheel, a main frame rotatably connected to the front frame at the front, a seat provided on the main frame, and a rear wheel rotatably provided at the rear of the main frame around a rear wheel shaft. The bicycle further comprises a transmission device detachably mounted on the main frame, the transmission device comprising a pedal and a transmission assembly capable of driving the rear wheel to rotate through the pedal. The transmission device is detachably connected between the main frame and the rear wheel shaft. At least one of the connections between the transmission device and the main frame and between the transmission device and the rear wheel shaft is achieved by the locking device of the transmission device. The overall disassembly or installation process of the transmission device is very simple and convenient, so that the bicycle can be conveniently converted between the bicycle state and the load carrying state. In this structure, the driven shaft and the rear wheel shaft can be disassembled and assembled in the following way: during installation, first push the locking shaft inward to make the locking part disengage from the spring pin, then insert the driven shaft into the rear wheel shaft along the axial direction, and align the positioning column with the positioning groove one by one until the spring pin reaches the limiting surface, then loosen the locking shaft, and under the action of the spring force, the locking shaft slides to make the locking part abut against the spring pin, so that the spring pin remains in the locked state, realizing the installation of the driven shaft and the rear wheel shaft, and further enabling the driven shaft to drive the rear wheel shaft to rotate synchronously. During disassembly, the operator only needs to push the locking shaft inward to overcome the action of the spring and make the locking part disengage from the spring pin, then pull out the driven shaft outward, and the spring pin will automatically retract into the shaft body under the extrusion of the inner wall of the mounting hole to realize unlocking, so that the driven shaft can be completely disengaged from the mounting hole. This structure is relatively complex, inconvenient to disassemble and assemble, and unreliable to use. SUMMARY

[0030] Referring to Figures 1-6This embodiment provides a multi-mode children's bicycle, including a main frame 1 and a transmission mechanism 2. The front end of the main frame 1 is equipped with a front frame 3 with a front wheel. The main frame 1 is provided with a seat 4. The rear end of the main frame 1 is equipped with a rear wheel 6 that can rotate around the rear wheel axle 5. The front end of the transmission mechanism 2 is detachably connected to the main frame 1, and the rear end of the transmission mechanism 2 is detachably connected to the rear wheel axle 5 through a combined flywheel structure.

[0031] The combined flywheel structure described in this embodiment includes a flywheel body 7 and a ratchet assembly 8. The flywheel body 7 is installed within the transmission mechanism 2, and the ratchet assembly 8 is detachably connected to the rear wheel axle 5. The flywheel body 7 is detachably fitted onto the ratchet assembly 8. This invention separates the flywheel body 7 and the ratchet assembly 8, so that during disassembly, the transmission mechanism can be directly removed from the ratchet assembly 8 without any additional disassembly operations.

[0032] In this embodiment, the flywheel body 7 and the ratchet assembly 8 are meshed together. The flywheel body 7 has internal meshing teeth 9, and the outer ring of the ratchet assembly 8 has external meshing teeth 10. The flywheel body 7 drives the ratchet assembly 8 to rotate through the meshing of the internal teeth 9 and the external teeth 10, thereby rotating the bicycle's rear wheel. The outer ring of the flywheel body 7 has chain teeth that mesh with the chain 19 of the transmission mechanism 2.

[0033] The ratchet assembly 8 described in this embodiment includes a ratchet seat 11, on which a ratchet outer sleeve 12 is fitted. Engaging external teeth 10 are disposed on the outer surface of the ratchet outer sleeve 12. Ratchets 13 are mounted on the ratchet seat 11, and a spring clip (not shown in the figure) is installed between the ratchet teeth 13 and the ratchet seat 11 to keep the ratchet teeth 13 in a convex state. The ratchet outer sleeve 12 has circumferentially oriented internal helical teeth 14 corresponding to the ratchet teeth 13. The internal helical teeth 14 engage with the ratchet teeth 13 to cause the ratchet outer sleeve 12 to rotate in one direction relative to the ratchet seat 11. A ratchet outer cover 15 is mounted on one side of the ratchet seat 11 to axially fix the ratchet outer sleeve 12. A ring of ball bearings 16 is provided between the ratchet outer sleeve 12, the ratchet seat 11, and the ratchet outer cover 15 to ensure smooth rotation of the ratchet outer sleeve 12.

[0034] In this embodiment, the ratchet seat 11 has a connecting part 17 on its other side, which is fixedly connected to the rear wheel axle 5. The connecting part 17 and the rear wheel axle 5 are threadedly connected. Specifically, the connecting part 17 may have an external thread, and the bicycle rear wheel axle may have an internal thread. The connection between the connecting part 17 and the rear wheel axle 5 is achieved through the cooperation of the external and internal threads. This utility model uses a threaded connection method to ensure that the connection between the connecting part and the bicycle rear wheel axle becomes increasingly tighter during bicycle riding, thereby ensuring the reliability of the connection.

[0035] The magnetic attraction structure can be arranged between the ratchet wheel assembly 8 and the flywheel body 7 to ensure the reliability of the connection between the ratchet wheel assembly 8 and the flywheel body 7.

[0036] The transmission mechanism 2 comprises a five-hole seat 18 and a chain 19, the five-hole seat 18 is detachably mounted on the middle tube bottom of the main frame 1, a middle shaft 20 is arranged in the five-hole seat 18, left and right cranks 21 and 22 for mounting pedals are arranged at the two ends of the middle shaft 20 respectively, a toothed disc 23 driven to rotate by the right crank 22 is arranged on the right crank 22, the front end of the chain 19 is sleeved on the toothed disc 23, and the rear end of the chain 19 is sleeved on the flywheel body 7.

[0037] The utility model discloses a balance car mode when not installing transmission mechanism, and riding mode when installing transmission mechanism.

[0038] The utility model discloses a bicycle is equipped with brake system.

[0039] When the transmission mechanism is installed, the flywheel body 7 has been installed in the transmission mechanism 2 and is connected in mesh with the chain, the ratchet wheel assembly 8 is connected to the rear wheel axle 5, and of course the ratchet wheel assembly 8 can also be directly fixed on the rear wheel axle 5. First, the transmission mechanism 2 is installed from the side, the flywheel body 7 is sleeved on the ratchet wheel assembly 8, the five-hole seat 18 is matched with the main frame 1, then the five-hole seat 18 is fixed on the middle tube of the main frame 1 through screws. When disassembling, first, the screws connecting the five-hole seat 18 and the main frame 1 are removed, the transmission mechanism 2 is taken out from the side, and the transmission mechanism 2 can be disassembled.

[0040] The transmission mechanism 2 can be detachably arranged, so that the bicycle has multiple modes, can be used as a riding bicycle after the transmission mechanism is installed, and can be used as a balance car after the transmission mechanism is disassembled. The transmission mechanism 2 is detachably arranged with the main frame through the split combined flywheel structure, so that when the rear end of the transmission mechanism is disassembled, the transmission mechanism is directly taken off from the ratchet wheel assembly, and no additional disassembly operation is needed.
