Abstract
The present invention relates to an auxiliary power unit starting apparatus for an electric bicycle, which can convert the rider's pedaling force into mechanical displacement at the time the bicycle is being pedaled, and then the mechanical displacement can start the auxiliary power unit of the electric bicycle. The device of the present invention has simple structure and small size, and it can be easily manufactured and assembled.
Claims (4)
1. An auxiliary power unit starting apparatus for an electric bicycle comprising:
a sprocket rotatably fixed to bicycle frame, on the sprocket being arranged a plurality of openings and a central hole, and at a side of the sprocket formed a plurality of projections;
a driving disc rotatably disposed at a side of the sprocket in such a manner that an axial tube at a side of the driving disc being engaged in the central hole of the sprocket, the driving disc provided with a plurality of limiting holes employed to be inserted correspondingly in the projections of the sprocket, at an abutting side of the driving disc abutting the sprocket being arranged a plurality of chutes each of which is slanted from a shallow end towards a deep end gradually;
a plurality of positioning springs, two ends of the respective positioning springs being hooked to the driving disc and the sprocket, respectively, so as to make the projections abut against an end of the limiting holes;
a crank arm fixed to the driving;
a plurality of triggers, each of which having a thick portion and a thin portion, a return spring axially mounted on the thin portion, and the thin portion of the trigger is set in the openings of the sprocket, so that the thick portion of the triggers abut against the deep end of the respective chutes;
a triggering disc disposed at another side of the sprocket in such a manner that the thin portion of the triggers is fixed to a surface of the triggering disc;
a switch located at the another side of the sprocket, and the triggering disc serves to trigger the switch, therefore, when crank arm rotates, the sproc et will rotate together with the crank arm, and when the projections move from one end of the limiting holes to the other, the thick portion of the triggers will move from the deep end of the chutes to the shallow end, so that the triggered will he pushed outward to trigger the switch.
a sprocket rotatably fixed to bicycle frame, on the sprocket being arranged a plurality of openings and a central hole, and at a side of the sprocket formed a plurality of projections;
a driving disc rotatably disposed at a side of the sprocket in such a manner that an axial tube at a side of the driving disc being engaged in the central hole of the sprocket, the driving disc provided with a plurality of limiting holes employed to be inserted correspondingly in the projections of the sprocket, at an abutting side of the driving disc abutting the sprocket being arranged a plurality of chutes each of which is slanted from a shallow end towards a deep end gradually;
a plurality of positioning springs, two ends of the respective positioning springs being hooked to the driving disc and the sprocket, respectively, so as to make the projections abut against an end of the limiting holes;
a crank arm fixed to the driving;
a plurality of triggers, each of which having a thick portion and a thin portion, a return spring axially mounted on the thin portion, and the thin portion of the trigger is set in the openings of the sprocket, so that the thick portion of the triggers abut against the deep end of the respective chutes;
a triggering disc disposed at another side of the sprocket in such a manner that the thin portion of the triggers is fixed to a surface of the triggering disc;
a switch located at the another side of the sprocket, and the triggering disc serves to trigger the switch, therefore, when crank arm rotates, the sproc et will rotate together with the crank arm, and when the projections move from one end of the limiting holes to the other, the thick portion of the triggers will move from the deep end of the chutes to the shallow end, so that the triggered will he pushed outward to trigger the switch.
2. The auxiliary power unit starting apparatus for an electric bicycle as claimed in claim 1, wherein the driving disc is integral with the crank arm.
3. The auxiliary power unit starting apparatus for an electric bicycle as claimed in claim 1, wherein a bearing is disposed between the axial tube of the driving disc and the central bole of the sprocket.
4. The auxiliary power unit starting apparatus for an electric bicycle as claimed in claim 1, wherein the switch is proximity switch.
