Definitions

  • the invention relates to a pedal boat drive according to the preamble of claim 1. It further relates to a with a Such Pedal boat equipped Pedal boat.
  • a pedal boat with the characteristics of the generic term of the Claim 1 is known from US 6,165,029 as well as a equipped with such a drive pedal boat.
  • the previously known Pedal boat leaves a storage on the drive train transmitted energy in a flywheel, However, it is not suitable for a sporty flexible use.
  • Pedal boats have long been known watercraft and serve primarily the pleasure.
  • the pedal boats are with Tretantrieben provided, which by means of one or more Crankset (s) generated energy on a propellant, in usually one or more propellers or paddle wheels, transfer.
  • the drive transmission happens directly, i.e. the force is from the pedal or the crank (s) means a drive train, z. B. a chain drive and / or a propeller shaft, transferred to the propellant.
  • the forward and reverse driving of the Pedal boat controlled by the direction of rotation of the cranks.
  • Examples of such pedal boats are from the German Utility Model DE 298 20 184 U1, DE 81 17 770 U1 and DE 84 04 297 U1.
  • the pedal boat should behave in the water similar to a bicycle on land.
  • a switching mechanism disposed in the drive train for switching the running direction of the propulsion means at constant direction of rotation of the crank allows a easy and sporty maneuvering. In particular, so can the propulsion direction of the propulsion means, for example.
  • a propeller in no time with constant pedaling of the crank change. This helps with the braking distance of one such a drive equipped pedal boat by "thrust reverser" Significantly shorter than known pedal boats What sporty used, fast pedal boats an indispensable Property is.
  • a simple realization of such a switching mechanism results when two according to the invention, leaving a Space between parallel arranged flywheels are provided and in the space an optional the opposite inner surfaces of the flywheels Coupling pickup element, z. B. one with a Rubber jacket coated roller, is arranged.
  • the pickup element changes at the same direction of rotation of the flywheel and thus the crank the direction of rotation and thus also the direction of advance.
  • a single disc be provided, which has a radial slot in which the pickup element is arranged. Beside the two, at one the inner sides coupled positions of the switching element This can still another, third position occupy, in which it does not attack on any of the insides. This position is then a neutral or neutral position.
  • the switching mechanism can advantageously by one or more pneumatic actuators are actuated, However, other operating mechanisms, such. As cables, conceivable. In the case of a rubber-coated roller as a customer element z. B. can this with a downstream Propeller shaft connected to drive the propulsion means be, and of two diametrically opposed ones Pneumatic actuators in the respective shift position displaced be.
  • the pneumatic actuators can work together with a lever for driving the same in a closed pneumatic system be arranged. So no pressure supply is provided to be, by simply pressing the control lever the pressure required in each case is generated and is to be controlled Actuator applied.
  • a freewheeling axle with flywheel allows also the arrangement of a two- or multistage transmission gear, preferably in the axis, in the manner of a Nabenschaltgetriebes known from bicycle technology. So can equipped with a drive according to the invention Pedal boat as a sports equipment like a bicycle in several levels be used.
  • the Mass of the flywheel (s) selected accordingly.
  • a total mass of the flywheel (s) of 50 to 100 kg, in particular 60 to 80 kg, preferred.
  • Pedalo a hull with a double hull (after Type of catamaran) is preferred.
  • the pedal boat a device to accommodate a conventional bike and integration has the same in the drive train.
  • a roller can generate the propulsion energy generated by the bicycle tapping on the rear wheel and then further Course of the drive train on the flywheel transfer.
  • a pedal boat 1 is shown schematically. This has a hull 2, which by one of two Hulls 2a connected via a connection platform 2b Double hull is formed. On the connection platform 2b is mounted on a frame 4 a seat 3. Along the connection platform 2b is a drive 10 arranged. This contains a fixed bearing Pedal 11 with pedals 12. At the pedal 11 is a Gear 13 attached, which has a drive chain running thereon 14 with the pedal crank 11 generated energy another gear 15 transmits. This is with one on a freewheeling axle mounted double flywheel 16 connected to the power transmission.
  • a pickup element arranged in the form of a rubber-coated roller 18, which for forwarding the drive power to a cardan shaft 19 and from there to a propeller 20 is used.
  • a lever 21 can be detected in the to be described in more detail later switching the Driving direction serves.
  • the propeller near section of the drive train can in the FIGS. 2 - 4 are better recognized and will be explained below this explained.
  • FIGS. 2a and 2b show two schematic side views of this section.
  • So is designated 22 the freewheeling To detect axis on which the double flywheel 16 is stored.
  • Next are about pneumatic lines 23 with the (Not shown in this illustration) lever 21 connected Recognize pneumatic actuators 24.
  • a joint 25 provided so that the propeller 20 at an adjustment of the propeller shaft 19 its orientation does not change.
  • Fig. 2b an indicated at 26 transmission gear and a transmission controller 27 are detected.
  • the transmission gear 26 can - similar to a hub gear at a bicycle - the translation of the drive and so that a "driving gear" can be selected equally. This results in the result of the possibility of a sporty driving and is only built-in because of the powertrain free-running axis 22 with the double flywheel 16 possible.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 The above-described switching mechanism is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 to better recognize.
  • the rubber-coated roller 18 By Actuation of the control lever 21 is the rubber-coated roller 18 in frictional contact with one of the inner surfaces 28a, 28b.
  • a power transmission of the double flywheel 16 created on the propeller 20 Depending on the inner surface 28a, 28b, on which the roller 18 abuts, changes the direction of rotation of the latter and thus the direction of rotation of the propeller 20 and ultimately the direction of travel of the pedal boat 1.
  • adjusting lever 21 is schematically in three positions shown, forward, idle and backward.
  • pedal boat according to the invention is the first time Possibility to use a pedal boat not only as an amusement device, but as a real sports equipment, much like to use a bicycle, for example a mountain bike.
