[0021] This application provides a one-way drive wheel for a children's tricycle, including a wheel body and a pedal connected to the wheel body for transmission. The pedal is rotatably mounted on both sides of the wheel body via a transmission rod. The transmission rod has a bent structure and passes through the central area of ​​the wheel body. A flywheel liner is mounted on the outer sleeve of the transmission rod and is located in the central area of ​​the wheel body. A flywheel that can rotate in one direction is mounted on the outer sleeve of the flywheel liner. The flywheel liner and the flywheel are engaged in the circumferential direction. The outer ring of the flywheel has protruding teeth formed along the circumferential direction, and the teeth mesh and fix with the inside of the wheel body.

[0022] This application also provides a children's tricycle, including the unidirectional drive wheel of the aforementioned children's tricycle.

[0023] Implementation, for example Figures 1-4 As shown, a one-way drive wheel of a children's tricycle includes a wheel body 1, a pedal 2, a bent transmission rod 3, a flywheel 4, and a flywheel liner 5. A accommodating space is formed in the central area of ​​the wheel body 1. The flywheel 4, flywheel liner 5, and transmission rod 3 are all disposed within this accommodating space. The outer ring of the flywheel 4 has protruding teeth along its circumference, which mesh and fix with the interior of the wheel body 1. Mounting covers 1.1, mounted on the wheel body 1 and covering the accommodating space, are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the flywheel 4. The transmission rod 3 passes through the mounting covers 1.1 on both sides and extends outward. The pedal 2 is rotatably mounted on the transmission rod 3 extending from both sides of the wheel body 1 and is connected to the wheel body 1 in a transmission manner.

[0024] Furthermore, the flywheel liner 5 is fitted outside the transmission rod 3, and the transmission rod 3 has a bent fixing part 3.1 inside the flywheel liner 5. The fixing part 3.1 cooperates with the flywheel liner 5 to fix the transmission rod 3 and the flywheel liner 5 in the circumferential direction and rotate synchronously. The pedal 2 can drive the flywheel liner 5 to rotate through the transmission rod 3.

[0025] Furthermore, the flywheel 4 is fitted outside the flywheel liner 5, and a one-way bearing is provided between the inner and outer rings of the flywheel 4, enabling the flywheel 4 to rotate in one direction. The flywheel liner 5 has protruding snap-fit ​​parts 5.1 distributed circumferentially, and the inner ring of the flywheel 4 has snap-fit ​​grooves 4.1 distributed circumferentially to mate with the snap-fit ​​parts 5.1. The flywheel liner 5 and the inner ring of the flywheel 4 are snap-fitted and fixed circumferentially, and the outer ring and inner ring of the flywheel 4 can rotate synchronously or relatively independently.

[0026] Specifically, when pedal 2 drives the flywheel inner liner 5 to rotate forward via the transmission rod, the inner ring of flywheel 4, which is circumferentially fixed to flywheel liner 5, drives the outer ring of flywheel 4 to rotate synchronously through the one-way rotation effect of the one-way bearing. Since the outer ring of flywheel 4 meshes with wheel body 1, it also drives wheel body 1 to rotate synchronously. When wheel body 1 is pushed to rotate by an external force, the outer ring of flywheel 4 is driven to rotate by wheel body 1. Due to the one-way rotation effect of the one-way bearing, at this time, the outer ring of flywheel 4 does not have a transmission relationship with the inner ring of flywheel 4. The outer ring of flywheel 4 rotates independently relative to the inner ring of flywheel 4. Thus, flywheel inner liner 5, transmission rod 3, and pedal 2 all remain stationary, achieving the effect of preventing foot strikes.

[0027] Furthermore, the flywheel liner 5 is provided with a baffle 5.2 on one side, which has a diameter larger than that of the inner ring of the flywheel 4. The baffle 5.2 helps to prevent the flywheel liner 5 from detaching from the flywheel 4 along the axial direction.

[0028] Furthermore, both ends of the flywheel liner 5 extend to the outside of the mounting cover 1.1, and bearings 6 are fitted onto both ends of the flywheel liner 5. A cover 7 that mates with the bicycle fork is provided outside the bearings 6. Specifically, the nesting order from the inside to the outside is as follows: drive rod 3, both ends of the flywheel liner 5, bearings 6, and cover 7.

[0029] Furthermore, this application also provides a children's tricycle based on the above embodiments, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the children's tricycle includes the aforementioned one-way drive wheel structure of the children's tricycle.

[0030] Those skilled in the art should understand that the technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments have been described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0031] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
