Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bicycle technology, and in particular to a chainless bicycle drive shaft and a bicycle. Background Technology
[0002] Existing chainless bicycles generally use bevel gears and drive shafts for transmission. However, the current bevel gear transmission method can only be installed and used on specific bicycles. Once installed, the bevel gears and drive shafts are not easy to disassemble, which brings great inconvenience to bicycle maintenance and greatly limits the application range of chainless drive shaft bicycles.
[0003] For example, Chinese patent document CN207208361U discloses a chainless drive system for electric bicycles and an electric bicycle equipped with this system. The chainless drive system includes: a bottom bracket, a rear wheel hub, a first bevel gear coaxially arranged and driven by the bottom bracket, a second bevel gear coaxially connected by the rear wheel hub, and a shaft drive device connecting the first and second bevel gears; it also includes a centrally mounted motor driven by the first bevel gear, and a first one-way clutch is provided on the transmission path between the centrally mounted motor and the first bevel gear. The first and second bevel gears in this design are extremely inconvenient to install and disassemble, and cannot be applied to different bicycle models.
[0004] To solve the problem that existing driveshafts cannot be freely disassembled and installed as a whole on the bicycle's bottom bracket and mid-mounted gearbox, a chainless bicycle driveshaft and bicycle were designed. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that existing chainless driveshafts cannot be freely disassembled and installed as a whole on the bicycle bottom bracket and mid-mounted gearbox, thus making them unsuitable for various types of bicycles. The invention provides a chainless bicycle driveshaft and bicycle that can be freely disassembled as a whole, can be connected to the bicycle bottom bracket and mid-mounted motor, has a wide range of applications, and is easy to assemble and disassemble.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to achieve its first inventive objective is as follows: a chainless bicycle driveshaft, including a driveshaft assembly that can be freely disassembled as a whole. The driveshaft assembly includes an assembly housing, a front drive gear assembly and a rear drive gear assembly that are connected by a driveshaft assembly. The front drive gear assembly is provided with a hollow cavity, and the hollow cavity is configured to cooperate with the middle drive component of the bicycle. This chainless bicycle driveshaft, through an integrated design, connects the front and rear drive gear assemblies into a single unit, forming a driveshaft assembly. A hollow cavity is incorporated within the front drive gear assembly, which is fitted to the bicycle's central drive unit. This structure allows for quick and easy installation of the driveshaft assembly when a chainless installation is desired; simply slide the driveshaft assembly onto the central drive unit and lock it in place. The rear drive gear assembly is directly mounted on the rear wheel axle. This facilitates both quick installation and easy disassembly, making the driveshaft assembly suitable for various types of bicycles and enabling free, complete disassembly and installation of the entire driveshaft assembly.
[0007] Preferably, the front drive gear assembly includes a hollow front drive gear integrated inside the front end of the assembly housing and a front driven gear meshing with the hollow front drive gear, with the hollow cavity disposed inside the hollow front drive gear. The hollow front drive gear facilitates engagement with the bicycle's central drive component, making operation convenient and quick. Furthermore, the integrated design of the hollow front drive gear and front driven gear makes disassembly easier, and provides good sealing performance and transmission efficiency.
[0008] Preferably, the included angle between the axis of the hollow front driving gear and the axis of the front driven gear is less than or equal to 90 degrees. This angled arrangement facilitates power transmission and allows the drive shaft assembly to rotate and fold around the hollow front driving gear.
[0009] Preferably, the hollow front drive gear includes a front drive gear and a transmission connector. The transmission connector is integrally or separately configured with the front drive gear. The hollow cavity is disposed inside the transmission connector and mates with the bicycle's central drive component. To broaden the application range of the driveshaft assembly, the hollow front drive gear can be configured with an integral or separate transmission connector combined with the front drive gear. By replacing or using different transmission connectors, different sizes of the hollow cavity structure can be achieved to meet the assembly requirements of different bottom brackets, mid-mounted motor shafts, or mid-mounted output ends.
[0010] Preferably, the rear drive gear assembly includes a rear drive gear integrated inside the rear end of the assembly housing and a rear driven gear meshing with the rear drive gear. The rear drive gear and the rear driven gear are also integrated, facilitating overall assembly and disassembly with the rear wheel axle.
[0011] Preferably, the rear axle angle between the axis of the rear driving gear and the axis of the rear driven gear is less than or equal to 90 degrees. The axle angle between the axis of the rear driving gear and the axis of the rear driven gear corresponds to the change in the axle angle between the hollow front driving gear and the front driven gear, thereby achieving effective transmission.
[0012] Preferably, the rear driven gear is mounted directly on the rear wheel or integrated into the assembly housing.
[0013] Preferably, the driveshaft assembly is rotated and folded together with the rear wheel, with the front drive gear assembly connected to the middle drive component of the bicycle as the rotation center.
[0014] Preferably, the bicycle center drive component is a bicycle bottom bracket; or a center-mounted motor shaft; or a center-mounted output terminal. The bicycle center drive component can be a bicycle bottom bracket, a center-mounted motor shaft located in the middle of the bicycle, or a center-mounted output terminal located in the middle of the bicycle.
[0015] Preferably, the driveshaft assembly includes an internal transmission component, and both ends of the internal transmission connector are respectively connected to the front transmission gear assembly and the rear transmission gear assembly. The driveshaft assembly can be a one-piece structure or a split structure, thereby achieving an integrated design of the driveshaft assembly.
[0016] Preferably, the internal transmission component is directly connected to the rear transmission gear assembly or is connected via a one-way ratchet assembly.
[0017] Preferably, the assembly housing includes a front driveshaft housing, a housing body, and a rear driveshaft housing, which may be integrally or separately configured. The assembly housing can be a separate unit comprising the front driveshaft housing, the housing body, and the rear driveshaft housing, which can be connected by threads or snap-fit connections. The front driveshaft housing can also be integrally or separately configured, as can the rear driveshaft housing. The housing body can have a sleeve-like structure or a split-locking structure. Alternatively, the assembly housing can be an integral structure with a split-locking configuration. When the assembly housing is an integral structure, the front and rear driveshaft housings are integrated into the front and rear ends of the housing body, respectively.
[0018] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to achieve its second inventive objective is: a bicycle, which adopts the aforementioned chainless bicycle drive shaft, wherein the bicycle is a folding or non-folding bicycle or an electric bicycle with a central drive component.
[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: the chainless bicycle driveshaft assembly can be directly mounted on the bicycle's bottom bracket, mid-mounted motor shaft, or mid-mounted output end, while the rear transmission gear assembly is directly mounted on the rear wheel axle. This achieves quick installation and easy disassembly of the driveshaft assembly, making it suitable for various types of bicycles and allowing for free overall disassembly and installation. It effectively solves the problem that existing driveshafts cannot be freely disassembled and installed as a whole on the bicycle's bottom bracket and mid-mounted gearbox. Attached Figure Description

[0116] like Figure 9 As shown, the drive shaft assembly C can rotate and fold together with the rear wheel HL around the front drive gear 1 connected to the central shaft D, the central motor shaft, or the central output end D1 as the rotation center. The folding direction of the front wheel QL is coordinated with the folding buckles ZDK1 and ZDK2 to fold regardless of left or right. In this embodiment, the front wheel QL is folded to the right.
[0117] When the central shaft D or the centrally mounted motor shaft is in operation, the gear shift can be achieved by using a commercially available gearbox installed on the rear wheel and connected to the rear driven wheel 4, thereby driving the rear wheel HL to rotate.
[0118] Example 5:
[0119] exist Figure 10 In the embodiment shown, a chainless bicycle driveshaft has a technical solution that is basically the same as that in Embodiment 1, except that:
[0120] The assembly housing 500 includes a front driveshaft housing A, a housing body 9, and a rear driveshaft housing B, all integrally formed. The assembly housing 500 has a cavity-like structure, with the front driveshaft housing A and the rear driveshaft housing B integrally formed at both ends of the assembly housing 500. The exterior of the assembly housing is sealed by a cover plate.
[0121] The chainless bicycle driveshaft described in the above embodiments is widely applicable to bicycles, electric bicycles, or other sports equipment. The driveshaft assembly can be directly mounted on the bicycle's bottom bracket, mid-mounted motor shaft, or mid-mounted output end, while the rear transmission gear assembly is directly mounted on the rear wheel axle. This allows for quick installation and easy disassembly of the driveshaft assembly, making it suitable for various types of bicycles and enabling free overall disassembly and installation. Furthermore, it greatly facilitates the modification of existing chain-driven bicycles. After partially disassembling the original chain components, the chainless bicycle driveshaft can be quickly installed and replaced directly on the bicycle's bottom bracket, mid-mounted motor shaft, or mid-mounted output end. This solves the problems of chain slippage and oil contamination found in existing chain-driven bicycles, and also provides excellent transmission performance.
[0122] The above embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Furthermore, based on the embodiments described in this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort and based on the technical solutions of this application should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
