Definitions
- the present invention belongs to the technical field of mechanical transmission systems.
- the invention relates to mechanical transmission systems comprising two sprockets connected by a chain.
- the invention relates to a device for changing the reduction ratio for mechanical transmission systems and, in particular, for chain transmission systems.
- the invention relates, in particular but not exclusively, to mechanical transmission systems for bicycles.
- the engines have an optimum operating speed at which they deliver maximum power. This also applies to human biomechanics in that there is a muscle lengthening-shortening rate at which power output is optimal. This results in a speed of articular rotation or an optimal rate of rotation, for example of pedaling, making it possible to generate maximum mechanical power at the crankset.
- the transmission ratio between the output rotational speed and the input rotational speed is modulated so as to adapt the resistance or the input torque and the input rotational speed with the objective of approaching the point of maximum efficiency of the system producing the mechanical power.
- the transmission ratio is defined as the ratio between the output rotational speed and the input rotational speed.
- the transmission ratio can also be defined as the ratio between the radius of the input gear wheel, or the number of teeth of the gear wheel d input, and the radius of the output gear wheel, or the number of teeth of the output gear wheel.
- Deraille consist of a series of sprockets, or cogwheels, and a mechanical guide device that allows the chain to move from one to the other in order to vary the gear ratio.
- Deraille whether equipped with an electric motor or not, require manual intervention by the operator, which consists of operating a lever or a button. This intervention proves destabilizing, in particular during a standing start in BMX Race for example.
- the gearboxes allow a change of the reduction ratio under load but retain the problem of discontinuity.
- CVTs equip both industrial devices and consumer bicycles.
- the mechanism with gears integrated inside the hub is replaced by V-belts or friction mechanisms or other complex mechanisms.
- One of the CVTs currently marketed for cycling is based on a ball system which allows a continuous change of the transmission ratio. Nevertheless, these devices have a high mass and a transmissible torque/mass ratio which is low.

- the DCRR 1 allows a change of reduction ratio under load, without discontinuity and without manual intervention.
- the change of transmission ratio of the DCRR according to the invention being automatic, it is not possible to intervene to modify it when the device is in use.
- the change of ratio takes place only in one direction, either the DCRR is arranged to increase the transmission ratio or to decrease it.
- the DCRR 1 comprises a toothing 2.3.
- the toothing 2, 3 comprises a portion 2, called the helical portion 2, forming a toothed helix winding around an axis of revolution 5 of the DCRR 1.
- the toothing 2, 3 also comprises a portion 3, called the circular portion 3, forming a toothed plane circle whose center coincides with the axis of revolution 5 of the DCRR 1.
- the helical portion 2 of the toothing 2, 3 extends from a distal termination 4, or distal terminal tooth 4, of the toothing of the DCRR 1 towards the circular portion 3 of the toothing 2, 3.

- the helical portion extends from the distal termination 4 of the DCRR 1 to the proximal termination 3, that is to say the circular portion 3, of the teeth 2, 3 makes it possible to initiate the setting rotation of the DCRR 1, and therefore of the bicycle by increasing the rotational speed of the DCRR 1 and the reduction ratio automatically (without the need to operate a manual control) and continuously while under load, without interruption and without strokes.
- the fact that the DCRR 1 according to the invention does not generate any discontinuity of passage or jump from a circular portion to another circular portion or to a helix during this phase makes it possible to improve the properties of the DCRR 1 and therefore the performance of the cyclist.
- the DCRR 1 comprises a guide 8 arranged between the proximal end 7 of the toothing of the helical portion 2 and the toothing of the circular portion 3.
- the guide 8 is arranged to contribute to and/or participate in continuous meshing of the chain with the DCRR 1, from the helical portion 2 to the circular portion 3.

- the fact that the helical portion 2 extends from the distal end 4 of the DCRR 1 to the proximal end 3 of the toothing implies that the passage from the helical portion 2 to the circular portion 3 takes place while the cyclist has already reached or is close to his optimum rotation rate.
- the toothing of the circular portion 3 comprises a recess 9 of at least one tooth opposite which the guide 8 is arranged.
- three teeth are absent from the recess provided in the toothing of the circular portion 3.

- the orifices 11 border the central opening 181 of the DCRR 1.
- the orifices are distributed to allow the angular position of the pedals to be adapted or adjusted 26 on the DCRR 1.
- the angular position is adjusted relative to the elements of the DCRR 1, such as the distal 4 and/or proximal 3 ends of the DCRR 1 and/or the proximal end 30 of the toothing of the first part 21 of the helical part 2 and/or the distal end 7 of the toothing of the second part 22 of the helical part 2.

- the radius of the helical portion 2 is constant on the part 21, called the first part 21, of the helical portion 2 and/or varies on the part 22, called the second part 22, of the portion helical 2.
- the helical portion 2 is arranged to ensure a rapid increase in the speed of rotation of the DCRR 1.
- the increase in the speed of rotation of the DCRR 1 is carried out at a constant reduction ratio.
- the speed of rotation is increased, and preferably the reduction ratio is kept constant, at least over one turn of the helix of the helical portion 2.
- the toothed helix of the first part 21 of the helical portion 2 winds at least one turn around the axis of revolution 5 of the DCRR 1, one and a half turns depending on the embodiment.
- the helical portion 2 is also arranged to increase the reduction ratio.
- the helical portion 2 is therefore arranged so as to allow an increase in the speed of rotation of the DCRR 1 and then to ensure an increase in the reduction ratio.
- the portion helical 2 is arranged to increase the reduction ratio after the rotational speed of the DCRR 1 has reached a desired value, and/or the chain meshed with the DCRR 1 has traveled a desired number of revolution(s) along the helix of the helical portion 2.

- the circular portion 3 and the helical portion 2 are each part of a separate part of the DCRR 1. These separate parts are arranged to be assembled, reversibly, by fastening means 12, 13, in one piece so as to form the DCRR 1 after assembly.
- the part comprising the circular portion 3 is called the proximal wheel 14 and the part comprising the helical portion 2 is called the distal wheel 15.
