Abstract
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a bicycle comprising a magnet fastener having a bolt formed with a coupling groove into which a spoke of a bicycle wheel is inserted, a nut screwed to the bolt and a first magnet coupled to the bolt or nut, And a coil winding wound around a cross section of a second magnet and a second magnet arranged to be able to magnetically act on the rim of the bicycle wheel and the magnet fastener, wherein at least one of the two surfaces of the bicycle fork facing the bicycle wheel The second magnet is rotated by the attractive force acting between the second magnet and the rim and the repulsive force acting between the first magnet and the second magnet when the wheel of the bicycle rotates, And an induction current is generated in the coil winding as it rotates about the axis. According to the present invention, it is possible to obtain high current and electric energy by overcoming the limit of the current generation amount of the conventional power generation apparatus, and to secure a bright field of view when the bicycle runs at low speed at night.
Description
The present invention relates to a non-contact type electric power generating apparatus for a bicycle, and more particularly, to a non-contact type electric power generating apparatus for a bicycle, To a non-contact type power generator for a bicycle, in which a current is induced in a coil winding wound around a magnet.
A bicycle generator is a device that converts the kinetic energy of a bicycle wheel into electric energy and is used to supply electric power to headlights or rear lights. These bicycle generators can be distinguished between contact type and non-contact type according to the principle of power generation. The contact type bicycle generator is a method of obtaining electric energy by rotating the roller through friction with the wheel of the bicycle. The efficiency is low due to the braking effect of the bicycle wheel due to friction, and the foreign matter (for example, Clay, etc.), there is a problem that noise is generated.
Unlike contact-type bicycle generators, contactless bicycle generators use eddy currents generated between the rim of the bicycle and the permanent magnets without using the wheel contact of the bicycle. More specifically, the non-contact bicycle generator may be composed of a plurality of magnets arranged adjacent to the rim of the bicycle and having N poles and S poles arranged at an intersection, and a coil winding wound along the outer surface of the magnet. Here, a magnetic field generated by a magnet is transmitted through a rim to generate an eddy current having opposite directions to the rim (Faraday's law), and a magnetic field in the same direction as the magnet is generated by this eddy current. Thereby, as the wheel of the bicycle rotates, the magnet rotates about the rotation axis, and a current can be induced in the coil winding due to the magnetic flux change of the coil winding wound around the magnet. Accordingly, the non-contact bicycle generator can convert the kinetic energy of the bicycle wheel into electric energy.
Meanwhile, the magnitude of the electric energy generated by the non-contact type bicycle generator is determined according to the capacity of the magnet of the rotor. In the conventional non-contact type bicycle generator, since a small capacity magnet is used to correspond to the length of the rim of the bicycle, The magnitude of the current induced in the current source is also inevitably small. Accordingly, the conventional non-contact type bicycle generator is used only as a blinker because it has a very low brightness to be used as illumination for securing a field of view at night.
In addition, when the capacity of the magnet is increased to have a size larger than the length of the bicycle rim in order to obtain a higher current, sufficient torque can not be provided to the magnet. Accordingly, there is a problem that electric currents generated at the time of initial driving of the bicycle or at low speed running are very small, so that electric energy necessary for securing the visual field can not be obtained.
The present invention relates to a magnet module having a magnet fastening member bound to a bicycle wheel, a magnet having an NS pole and an SN pole intersecting with each other along a rotation axis, and a coil winding wound around the magnet, The induction current is generated in the coil winding of the magnet module as the magnet of the magnet module rotates about the rotation axis by the magnetic action of the rim of the bicycle wheel and the magnet fastener, Contact type power generation device capable of obtaining a high current and electric energy by overcoming the above-mentioned problems and ensuring a bright field of view when the bicycle is driven at a low speed at night.
The objects of the present invention are not limited to the above-mentioned objects, and other objects and advantages of the present invention which are not mentioned can be understood by the following description and more clearly understood by the embodiments of the present invention. It will also be readily apparent that the objects and advantages of the invention may be realized and attained by means of the instrumentalities and combinations particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
To achieve these and other advantages and in accordance with the purpose of the present invention, as embodied and broadly described herein, there is provided a bicycle comprising: a magnet fastener having a bolt formed with a coupling groove into which a spoke of a bicycle wheel is inserted, a nut screwed with the bolt, and a first magnet coupled to the bolt or the nut; NS poles and SN poles intersecting each other, a second magnet configured to be able to magnetically act on the rim of the bicycle wheel and the magnet fastener, and a coil winding wound along the transverse plane of the second magnet, And a power generating module coupled to a mounting groove formed concavely on at least one side of both sides of the bicycle fork, wherein the attraction force acting between the second magnet and the rim when the wheel of the bicycle rotates, As the second magnet rotates about the rotation axis due to the repulsive force acting between the second magnets, Also it characterized in that the current is generated.
According to the present invention as described above, there are provided a magnet fastening member coupled to a bicycle wheel, a magnet having NS and SN poles interdigitated along the rotation axis, and a coil winding wound around the magnet, The induction current is generated in the coil winding of the magnet module as the magnet of the magnet module rotates about the rotation axis by the magnetic action of the rim of the bicycle wheel and the magnet fastener, It is possible to obtain high current and electric energy by overcoming the limitation of the current generation amount of the device and to secure a bright field of view when the bicycle runs at low speed at night.
