Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of scooter technology, and more specifically, relates to a power-generating wheel and a scooter. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional scooter wheels contain magnetic induction coils and magnetic rings. The relative movement between the coils and rings causes the rings to cut the magnetic lines of force generated by the coils, producing an electric current. This current is then transmitted to the wheel's light source, causing the wheel to emit light. However, this method of power generation is currently only used for the light source on the wheel and cannot power other circuits (such as lights, speakers, etc.) from the magnetic energy generated on a single wheel, leading to increased energy consumption and costs.

[0018] The beneficial effects of the power-generating wheel and scooter provided by this utility model are as follows: The power-generating wheel includes a fixing mechanism, a rotating assembly, and a conductive wire.

When the wheels of the scooter in this application rotate, the magnetic field generated by the first magnetic ring rotates accordingly. This magnetic field rotates relative to the stationary first induction coil, causing the first induction coil to cut the magnetic field of the first magnetic ring and generate a current. This current is transmitted through a conductive wire led out from the wire channel to the circuit interface on the scooter body that requires power. Simultaneously, the second induction coil rotates with the wheel, generating a current relative to the stationary second magnetic ring. This current cuts the magnetic field of the second magnetic ring and generates a current, which powers the lights on the wheel. Because the second induction coil rotates synchronously with the wheel, the generated current is synchronously led to the lights. This satisfies both the power requirements for the wheel's illumination and the power requirements of other electrical modules besides the wheel, thus enabling power supply from the wheel to external circuits without the need for additional battery power (such as for external lights and speakers). This is energy-saving, environmentally friendly, and significantly reduces costs, while also enhancing safety. Attached Figure Description

[0031] Please refer to the following as well. Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a generator wheel 1, which includes a fixing mechanism 100, a rotating component 200 and a conductive wire 300.
[0032] The fixing mechanism 100 includes a first induction coil 110, a second magnetic ring 120 and a fixing component 130. The first induction coil 110 and the second magnetic ring 120 are both fixed on the fixing component 130. The fixing component 130 is fixedly connected to the vehicle frame 3 and has a wire channel 201 along its length.
[0033] The rotating assembly 200 includes a first magnetic ring 210 and a second induction coil 220 that rotate with the wheel. The first magnetic ring 210 is rotatably sleeved on the first induction coil 110, and the second induction coil 220 is rotatably sleeved on the second magnetic ring 120.
[0034] One end of the conductive wire 300 is connected to the first induction coil 110, and the other end is led out through the wire channel 201.
[0035] In this embodiment, the generator wheel 1 includes a fixing mechanism 100, a rotating assembly 200, and a conductive wire 300. The fixing mechanism 100 includes a first induction coil 110, a second magnetic ring 120, and a fixing assembly 130. The first induction coil 110 and the second magnetic ring 120 are fixed on the fixing assembly 130. The fixing assembly 130 is fixedly connected to the frame 3 and has a wire channel 201 along its length. The rotating assembly 200 includes a first magnetic ring 210 and a second induction coil 220 that rotate with the wheel. The first magnetic ring 210 is sleeved on the first induction coil 110, and the second induction coil 220 is sleeved on the second magnetic ring 120. The conductive wire 300 has one end connected to the first induction coil 110 and the other end led out from the wire channel 201. As the wheel rotates, the magnetic field generated by the first magnetic ring 210 rotates accordingly, creating relative motion between it and the stationary first induction coil 110. This causes the first induction coil 110 to cut the magnetic field of the first magnetic ring 210, generating a current. The current generated by the first induction coil 110 is transmitted through the conductive wire 300 led out from the wire channel 201 and to the circuit interface on the vehicle body that needs to be connected to power. Meanwhile, the second induction coil 220 rotates with the wheel, creating relative motion between it and the stationary second magnetic ring 120. This causes the second induction coil 220 to cut the magnetic field of the second magnetic ring 120, generating a current. The current generated by the second induction coil 220 is used to power the lights on the wheel. Because the second induction coil 220 rotates synchronously with the wheel, the generated current can be synchronously led to the lights. In this way, the power needs of the wheel's lighting and other power modules besides the wheel are met, thus realizing power supply from the wheel to the external circuit without the need for additional battery power (such as external lights, audio, etc.). This is energy-saving, environmentally friendly, and saves a lot of cost, while also making it safer to use.
[0036] Furthermore, the fixing assembly 130 includes a first bushing 131 and a second bushing 132. One end of the first bushing 131 is engaged with one end of the second bushing 132 to achieve connection and circumferential limiting. The other ends of the first bushing 131 and the second bushing 132 are both fixed to the vehicle frame 3. The first induction coil 110 is sleeved on the first bushing 131, and the second magnetic ring 120 is sleeved on the second bushing 132.
[0037] In this embodiment, the first bushing 131 and the second bushing 132 are designed as separate units to facilitate assembly and disassembly. Since the wire channel 201 is located on the second bushing 132, it also facilitates the creation of the wire channel 201 and the routing of wires.
[0038] Preferably, the fixing assembly 130 further includes a shaft 133 and a fastener 134. A first bushing 131 and a second bushing 132 are both fitted onto the shaft 133, and at least one of them is circumferentially limited relative to the shaft 133. One end of the shaft 133 is connected to the vehicle frame 3, and the other end is fastened to the vehicle frame 3 by the fastener 134. In this way, the first bushing 131 and the second bushing 132 cannot rotate relative to the shaft 133 due to the circumferential limiting structure, ensuring that the first induction coil 110 and the second magnetic ring 120 are fixed.
[0039] Optionally, any cross-section of the shaft 133 is circular, elliptical, or D-shaped; or, the side of the shaft 133 has at least one protrusion. The cavity 202 of the bushing that circumferentially limits the shaft 133 is adapted to the shaft 133. In this embodiment, the second bushing 132 and the shaft 133 adopt a circumferential limiting structure. The cross-sectional shape of the cavity of the second bushing 132 matches the cross-sectional shape of the shaft 133, and the two are adapted to prevent the second bushing 132 from rotating circumferentially relative to the shaft 133. The first bushing 131 is directly sleeved on the shaft 133 and engages with the second bushing 132 to achieve circumferential limiting.
[0040] In this embodiment, the cross-section of the shaft 133 is D-shaped, and the cross-section of the sleeve 202 that matches it is also D-shaped.
[0041] Preferably, the second bushing 132 has a locking protrusion 1321 on its side, the locking protrusion 1321 is located at the locking end of the second bushing 132, the cavity wall of the first bushing 131 has a locking groove 101, the locking protrusion 1321 is inserted into the locking groove 101 when the first bushing 131 and the second bushing 132 are mated; the outer side of the second bushing 132 has a wire channel 201 along its length.
[0042] In this embodiment, the end of the first bushing 131 and the end of the second bushing 132 are engaged by inserting a protrusion 1321 into a slot 101, ensuring a proper fit and preventing circumferential rotation. This structure is easy to assemble and disassemble.
[0043] Furthermore, two locking protrusions 1321 are provided and spaced apart to improve the stability of circumferential positioning. The wire channel 201 is located between the two locking protrusions 1321, which facilitates the lead wire 300 from the first induction coil 110 to be led out through the wire channel 201 on the second bushing 132.
[0044] Preferably, the second bushing 132 includes a first shaft segment 1322 and a second shaft segment 1323 that abuts against the end of the first shaft segment 1322, wherein a shoulder is formed at the abutment of the first shaft segment 1322 and the second shaft segment 1323, and the diameter of the second shaft segment 1323 is larger than the diameter of the first shaft segment 1322. Two locking protrusions 1321 are provided on the first shaft segment 1322 and both extend along the length direction of the first shaft segment 1322. A wire-avoiding opening 102 is provided in the shoulder of the second shaft segment 1323 between the two locking protrusions 1321. The wire-avoiding opening 102 communicates with the wire channel 201 to prevent the conductive wire 300 from being squeezed when the first shaft sleeve 131 and the second shaft sleeve 132 are engaged.
[0045] Furthermore, the rotating assembly 200 includes a hub 230, on which a rubber wheel 240 is fitted. The hub 230 has a first mounting cavity 203 and a second mounting cavity 204 that are connected. A first magnetic ring 210 is embedded in the first mounting cavity 203, and a second induction coil 220 is embedded in the second mounting cavity 204. In this embodiment, the second induction coil 220 is injection molded together with the hub 230. The hub 230 is fitted onto a first bushing 131 and a second bushing 132. There are certain gaps between the first magnetic ring 210 and the first induction coil 110, and between the second magnetic ring 120 and the second induction coil 120.
[0046] Furthermore, the rotating assembly 200 also includes a hub cap 250, which is fixed within the first mounting cavity 203 and has a through cavity 205 with both ends connected. A first magnetic ring 210 is embedded in the through cavity 205. In this embodiment, an annular groove 206 is provided at one end of the hub cap 250 and on the cavity wall of the through cavity 205, and the first magnetic ring 210 is embedded in the annular groove 206.
[0047] Furthermore, the rotating assembly 200 also includes two bearings 260, wherein one bearing 260 is fitted at the end of the first bushing 131 and the other bearing 260 is fitted at the end of the second bushing 132, and the hub cap 250 and the hub 230 are fitted on the two bearings 260.
[0048] This utility model also provides a scooter 2, which includes a frame 3 with an electric module and a generator wheel 1 as described above. The fixing component 130 of the generator wheel 1 is connected to the frame 3, and the conductive wire 300 is electrically connected to the electric module.
[0049] In this embodiment, when the generator wheel 1 rotates, the first induction coil 110 cuts the magnetic field of the first magnetic ring 210 to generate current. The current is transmitted through the conductive wire 300 led out from the wire channel 201 and to the circuit interface on the vehicle body that needs to be connected to power. Meanwhile, the second induction coil 220 cuts the magnetic field of the second magnetic ring 120 to generate current, which is used to power the lights on the wheel. In this way, the power needs of the wheel's lighting are met, as well as the power needs of other power modules besides the wheel. This achieves power supply to the wheel and external circuits without the need for additional battery power (such as external lights, audio equipment, etc.), which is energy-saving, environmentally friendly, and saves a lot of cost investment, while also making it safer to use.
[0050] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
