Referring to FIGS. 1 to 7, there is shown an embodiment of the present invention, a rear derailleur of the present invention comprising: a base member 1, a link assembly 2, a movable member 3, a chain guide 4, a biasing element 6, a resistance mechanism 7, and a screw cap unit 8.
The base member 1 is configured to be mounted to a bicycle, the link assembly 2 is disposed on the base member 1, and the movable member 3 is pivotally connected to the link assembly 2, so that a rider can adjust the position of the movable member with respect to the base member 1 according to requirements. The chain guide 4 is pivotally connected to the movable member 3 via a rotation shaft set 5, such that the chain guide 4 and the rotation shaft set 5 are in a co-rotating relationship.
The deflection element 6 is arranged between the movable member 3 and the chain guide 4, and one end of the deflection element 6 is positioned on the movable member 3, and the other end is positioned on the chain guide 4 to provide pre-pressing elastic force to the chain guide 4 for achieving the purpose of stability, so that the chain guide 4 cannot rotate randomly. The resistance mechanism 7 is disposed on the movable member 3 to selectively provide additional resistance to the rotation shaft set 5, so as to select the magnitude of the resistance of the chain guide 4 against rotation, and in this embodiment, the resistance mechanism 7 is sleeved on the rotation shaft set 5.
The cap screwing unit 8 is provided with the resistance mechanism 7 in a covering manner and can act on the resistance mechanism 7, the cap screwing unit 8 can rotate relative to the movable member 3, in other words, the cap screwing unit 8 and the resistance mechanism 7 are in linkage relationship, a rider can drive the resistance mechanism 7 to act by rotating the cap screwing unit 8, the operation is quite convenient and intuitive, and the integral mechanism has the advantages of reducing components and simplifying the structure. In addition, when collision occurs, two objects that collide with each other mostly move linearly, and the cap screwing unit 8 needs to rotate to be actuated, so that the cap screwing unit 8 is less likely to move easily when unexpected collision occurs, and better stability and reliability can be achieved.
In detail, the cap screwing unit 8 is rotatably positioned at a first position and a second position, the resistance mechanism 7 has a first resistance when the cap screwing unit 8 is rotated at the first position, the resistance mechanism 7 has a second resistance when the cap screwing unit 8 is rotated at the second position, and the second resistance is different from the first resistance, so that a user can select different resistances according to the requirement condition to change the anti-rotation capability of the chain guide 4.
In this embodiment, the cap screwing unit 8 is capable of being operated from the outside and is covered by the resistance mechanism 7, and the first resistance is greater than the second resistance, that is, when the cap screwing unit 8 is operated in the first position, the chain guide 4 is less likely to rotate than when the cap screwing unit 8 is positioned in the second position, and is suitable for riding on a bumpy road, so that the occurrence of chain throwing can be effectively suppressed. When the cap screwing unit 8 is operated at the second position, the chain guide 4 is easier to rotate than when the cap screwing unit 8 is at the first position, so that the assembly and adjustment matters such as disassembling and assembling the rear wheel, threading the chain, adjusting and shifting are suitable for a user.
In this embodiment, the resistance mechanism 7 includes a ratchet 71 and a positioning pawl 72, the ratchet 71 and the rotation shaft set 5 are in a same rotation relationship, the positioning pawl 72 is movably disposed on the movable member 3, and when the cap unit 8 moves from the second position toward the first position, the cap unit 8 drives the positioning pawl 72 to engage with the ratchet 71, so that the resistance mechanism 7 has the first resistance, and the occurrence of chain flinging caused by the inversion of the chain guide 4 due to road jolt can be sufficiently suppressed. When the cap screwing unit 8 moves from the first position toward the second position, i.e. when the cap screwing unit 8 is at the second position, the cap screwing unit 8 releases the positioning pawl 72, and the positioning pawl 72 can be disengaged from the ratchet 71 without being engaged with each other, so that the chain guide 4 is in linkage relation with the resistance mechanism 7.
