Abstract
Description
本發明係關於一種自行車，特別是關於一種自行車之飛輪裝置。 The present invention relates to a bicycle, and more particularly to a bicycle flywheel device.
自行車(又稱為腳踏車)是一種以人力踩踏踏板的小型車輛，其通常具有一前一後連接於車架的二個輪子。自行車的車速主要是由騎士踩踏踏板所提供的助力以及煞車所造成的阻力來決定。 A bicycle (also known as a bicycle) is a small vehicle that pedals a pedal with a human hand, which typically has two wheels that are attached to the frame one after the other. The speed of the bicycle is mainly determined by the assist provided by the Cavalier pedaling and the resistance caused by the brakes.
自行車平時在行進時可依靠車身與騎士的慣性以及因地面傾斜而提供的行進方向上的重力分量來替騎士省力。但若遇到上坡、逆風等因素或是緊急情況而造成自行車減速或停止之後，則必須重新費力踏車方能使自行車回復到原本的速度。 The bicycle usually relies on the inertia of the body and the knight and the gravity component in the direction of travel provided by the tilt of the ground while traveling. However, if the bicycle is slowed down or stopped due to factors such as uphill, headwind, or an emergency, it is necessary to re-train the bicycle to return the bicycle to its original speed.
另外，一但自行車變為低速行進或停止時，會因不穩定而使車身搖擺或是向左右傾斜，而很有可能使騎士因此跌倒或是與兩側的車輛或行人發生擦撞而受傷。 In addition, once the bicycle is turned to a low speed or stopped, the body may be swayed or tilted to the left and right due to instability, and it is very likely that the knight may fall or be injured by collision with vehicles or pedestrians on both sides.
鑑於以上所述，習知自行車在起步及提速時需騎士花費相當的力量來踩踏，並且在低速或停止時會出現車身不穩的情況。 In view of the above, the conventional bicycle requires the knight to spend considerable force to step on the pedal when starting and speeding up, and the vehicle body may be unstable at low speed or stop.

The bicycle 1 has a frame 11, a driving wheel 12, and a driven wheel 13. The flywheel device 2 includes a flywheel mechanism 21 rotatably disposed thereon. On the frame 11 between the driving wheel 12 and the driven wheel 13, one of the axes of rotation 210 of the flywheel mechanism 21 is substantially parallel to one of the axes of rotation 120 of the driving wheel 12; a clutch mechanism 22 is detachably Connected between the flywheel mechanism 21 and the driving wheel 12, and in the connected state, a rotational kinetic energy is transmitted between the driving wheel 12 and the flywheel mechanism 21; and a shifting mechanism 23 is connected by the clutch mechanism 22 The flywheel mechanism 21 and the driving wheel 12 adjust the transmission ratio of the rotational kinetic energy between the driving wheel 12 and the flywheel mechanism 21.
本發明的一實施例的該自行車之飛輪裝置，如第1圖所示，該主動車輪12為經使用者(圖未示)踩踏該自行車1之一踏板14而旋轉。詳細而言，使用者踩踏該踏板14所產生的旋轉動能經由一鏈輪15、一鏈條16而傳動至該主動車輪12，而由該主動車輪12帶動該自行車前進。當然，本發明並不限於此，在其他實施方式中，可採用該踏板齒輪15及該鏈條16之外的傳動機構來傳動旋轉動能至該主動車輪12。 In the bicycle flywheel device according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Fig. 1, the driving wheel 12 is rotated by a user (not shown) stepping on a pedal 14 of the bicycle 1. In detail, the rotational kinetic energy generated by the user stepping on the pedal 14 is transmitted to the driving wheel 12 via a sprocket 15 and a chain 16 , and the driving wheel 12 drives the bicycle to advance. Of course, the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the pedal gear 15 and a transmission mechanism other than the chain 16 may be used to transmit rotational kinetic energy to the active wheel 12.
如第1圖所示，依據本發明的實施例的自行車之飛輪裝置2，該主動車輪12係為該自行車1之後輪。當然，在其他實施方式中，該主動車輪12亦可為該自行車1之前輪，或是其他位置的車輪。 As shown in Fig. 1, a bicycle flywheel device 2 according to an embodiment of the present invention is a rear wheel of the bicycle 1. Of course, in other embodiments, the active wheel 12 can also be the front wheel of the bicycle 1 or a wheel at other locations.
如第1圖所示，依據本發明的實施例的自行車之飛輪裝置2，該飛輪機構21係位在該車架11之一下管111與一座管112之間。此種結構可使該自行車1與該飛輪裝置2的整體重心位置維持在前後輪之間的車架11，以使該自行車1穩定而不容易翻倒。 As shown in FIG. 1, a flywheel mechanism 2 of a bicycle according to an embodiment of the present invention is positioned between a lower tube 111 and a tube 112 of the frame 11. This configuration allows the bicycle 1 and the flywheel device 2 to maintain the overall center of gravity position of the frame 11 between the front and rear wheels, so that the bicycle 1 is stable and not easily tipped over.
如第1圖所示，依據本發明的實施例的自行車之飛輪裝置2，該飛輪機構21之輪緣211係向上超出該車架11之一上管113。該飛輪機構21的尺寸(半徑)愈大，則其轉動慣量愈大， 因此在旋轉時會有愈大的角動量。如此，基於角動量守恆的關係，該飛輪機構21旋轉時的角動量愈大，則使該自行車1愈能夠保持平衡。 As shown in FIG. 1, in the bicycle flywheel device 2 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the rim 211 of the flywheel mechanism 21 is upwardly extended beyond the upper tube 113 of the frame 11. The larger the size (radius) of the flywheel mechanism 21, the greater its moment of inertia. Therefore, there is a greater angular momentum when rotating. Thus, based on the relationship of the angular momentum conservation, the greater the angular momentum when the flywheel mechanism 21 rotates, the more the bicycle 1 can be balanced.
如第1圖所示，依據本發明的實施例的自行車之飛輪裝置2，該飛輪機構21與該主動車輪12係通過一傳動帶而傳動。該傳動帶例如為一鏈條或一皮帶，連接在該飛輪機構21與該主動車輪12之間，而使該飛輪機構21與該主動車輪12互相帶動旋轉。當然，在其他實施方式中，該飛輪機構21與該主動車輪12之間可通過其他機構而互相帶動，例如：齒輪。 As shown in Fig. 1, a flywheel device 2 for a bicycle according to an embodiment of the present invention, the flywheel mechanism 21 and the drive wheel 12 are driven by a belt. The transmission belt is, for example, a chain or a belt connected between the flywheel mechanism 21 and the driving wheel 12 to rotate the flywheel mechanism 21 and the driving wheel 12. Of course, in other embodiments, the flywheel mechanism 21 and the driving wheel 12 can be driven by other mechanisms, such as gears.

Is the connection state or a disconnection state. Of course, the operating member 223 is not limited to being disposed on the grip 17, and may be disposed at other positions, or may be manipulated by using a pedal or the like.
如第2a、2b、及2c圖所示，依據本發明的實施例的自行車之飛輪裝置2，該變速機構23包括一儲能變速組件231及一釋能變速組件232，該儲能變速組件231係設置為調整自該主動車輪12傳動至該飛輪機構21之傳動比，而該釋能變速組件232係設置為調整自該飛輪機構21傳動至該主動車輪12之傳動比。對應地，該離合機構22包括一第一離合組件221及一第二離合組件222。該第一離合組件221選擇性使該變速機構23以該儲能變速組件231連接該飛輪機構21與該主動車輪12，該第二離合組件222則選擇性使該變速機構23以該釋能變速組件232連接該飛輪機構21與該主動車輪12。 As shown in Figures 2a, 2b, and 2c, a bicycle flywheel device 2 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a stored energy shifting assembly 231 and an energy release shifting assembly 232. The energy storage shifting assembly 231 The transmission is configured to adjust the transmission ratio from the drive wheel 12 to the flywheel mechanism 21, and the release shifting assembly 232 is configured to adjust the transmission ratio from the flywheel mechanism 21 to the drive wheel 12. Correspondingly, the clutch mechanism 22 includes a first clutch assembly 221 and a second clutch assembly 222. The first clutch assembly 221 selectively causes the shifting mechanism 23 to connect the flywheel mechanism 21 and the driving wheel 12 with the energy storage shifting assembly 231, and the second clutch assembly 222 selectively causes the shifting mechanism 23 to shift the shifting mechanism Assembly 232 connects the flywheel mechanism 21 to the drive wheel 12.
如第2a圖所示，依據本發明的一實施例的自行車之飛輪裝置2，該儲能變速組件231係設置為調整自該主動車輪12傳動至該飛輪機構21之傳動比為一加速傳動比。詳細而言，該儲能變速組件231包括一連接於該主動車輪12的第一輸入鏈輪 231a、一連接於該飛輪機構21的第二輸入鏈輪231b、以及一連接在該第一輸入鏈輪231a與該第二輸入鏈輪231b之間的輸入鏈條231c。該第一輸入鏈輪231a的齒數大於該第二輸入鏈輪231b的齒數，因此當該主動車輪12通過該儲能變速組件231與該飛輪機構21連接時，該主動車輪12可通過該第一輸入鏈輪231a、該輸入鏈條231c、及該第二輸入鏈輪231b而帶動該飛輪機構21旋轉，並且該飛輪機構21的轉速因該加速傳動比而會大於該主動車輪12的轉速。 As shown in FIG. 2a, a bicycle flywheel device 2 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the energy storage shifting assembly 231 is configured to adjust a transmission ratio from the driving wheel 12 to the flywheel mechanism 21 to an acceleration ratio. . In detail, the energy storage shifting assembly 231 includes a first input sprocket coupled to the active wheel 12 231a, a second input sprocket 231b connected to the flywheel mechanism 21, and an input chain 231c connected between the first input sprocket 231a and the second input sprocket 231b. The number of teeth of the first input sprocket 231a is greater than the number of teeth of the second input sprocket 231b, so when the active wheel 12 is connected to the flywheel mechanism 21 through the energy storage shifting assembly 231, the active wheel 12 can pass the first The input sprocket 231a, the input chain 231c, and the second input sprocket 231b drive the flywheel mechanism 21 to rotate, and the rotational speed of the flywheel mechanism 21 is greater than the rotational speed of the active wheel 12 due to the acceleration gear ratio.
如第2c圖所示，依據本發明的實施例的自行車之飛輪裝置2，該釋能變速組件232係設置為調整自該飛輪機構21傳動至該主動車輪12之傳動比為一加速傳動比。相似地，該釋能變速組件232包括一連接於該飛輪機構21的第一輸出鏈輪232a、一連接於該主動車輪12的第二輸出鏈輪232b、以及一連接在該第一輸出鏈輪232a與該第二輸出鏈輪232b之間的輸出鏈條232c。該第一輸出鏈輪232a的齒數大於該第二輸出鏈輪232b的齒數，因此當該主動車輪12通過該釋能變速組件232與該飛輪機構21連接時，該飛輪機構21可通過該第一輸出鏈輪232a、該輸出鏈條232c、及該第二輸出鏈輪232b而帶動該主動車輪12旋轉，並且該主動車輪12的轉速因該加速傳動比而會大於該飛輪機構21的轉速。 As shown in Fig. 2c, in the bicycle flywheel device 2 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the release shifting assembly 232 is configured to adjust the transmission ratio from the flywheel mechanism 21 to the active wheel 12 to an acceleration ratio. Similarly, the release shifting assembly 232 includes a first output sprocket 232a coupled to the flywheel mechanism 21, a second output sprocket 232b coupled to the drive wheel 12, and a first output sprocket coupled thereto. An output chain 232c between the 232a and the second output sprocket 232b. The number of teeth of the first output sprocket 232a is greater than the number of teeth of the second output sprocket 232b. Therefore, when the driving wheel 12 is connected to the flywheel mechanism 21 through the release shifting assembly 232, the flywheel mechanism 21 can pass the first The output sprocket 232a, the output chain 232c, and the second output sprocket 232b drive the driving wheel 12 to rotate, and the rotational speed of the driving wheel 12 is greater than the rotational speed of the flywheel mechanism 21 due to the acceleration gear ratio.
如第2a、2b、及2c圖所示，依據本發明的實施例的自行車之飛輪裝置2更包括一棘輪機構24，通過該變速機構23而連接該飛輪機構21與該主動車輪12。該棘輪機構24係為使得旋轉運動保持單一方向的一機械機構，用以防止傳動機構逆轉，藉此使該飛輪機構21與該主動車輪12之間保持單向傳動。對應於該變速機構23，該棘輪機構24包括一輸入棘輪241及一輸出棘輪242。輸入棘輪241通過該儲能變速組件231而連接該飛輪機構21與該主動車輪12，使得能量的傳遞維持自該主動車輪 12傳向該飛輪機構21，而不會因為該主動車輪12的轉速變慢，反而變成由該飛輪機構21將能量傳回該主動車輪12。相似地，輸出棘輪242通過該釋能變速組件232而連接該飛輪機構21與該主動車輪12，使得該飛輪機構21釋放能量給該主動車輪12時，不會因該主動車輪12轉速變快，反而造成由該主動車輪12將能量傳回該飛輪機構21。 As shown in Figures 2a, 2b, and 2c, the bicycle flywheel device 2 according to an embodiment of the present invention further includes a ratchet mechanism 24 through which the flywheel mechanism 21 and the drive wheel 12 are coupled. The ratchet mechanism 24 is a mechanical mechanism that maintains the rotational motion in a single direction to prevent the transmission mechanism from reversing, thereby maintaining a one-way transmission between the flywheel mechanism 21 and the active wheel 12. Corresponding to the shifting mechanism 23, the ratchet mechanism 24 includes an input ratchet 241 and an output ratchet 242. The input ratchet 241 connects the flywheel mechanism 21 and the driving wheel 12 through the energy storage shifting assembly 231, so that energy transfer is maintained from the active wheel 12 is transmitted to the flywheel mechanism 21, and the speed of the active wheel 12 is not slowed down, but instead the energy is transmitted back to the driving wheel 12 by the flywheel mechanism 21. Similarly, the output ratchet 242 connects the flywheel mechanism 21 and the active wheel 12 through the release shifting assembly 232 such that when the flywheel mechanism 21 releases energy to the active wheel 12, the speed of the active wheel 12 does not become faster. Instead, energy is transmitted back to the flywheel mechanism 21 by the active wheel 12.
藉由上述結構，如第2a圖所示，在欲減速該自行車1時，經操作該離合機構22而使該主動車輪12通過該變速機構的該儲能變速組件231連接該飛輪機構21。藉此，該主動車輪12之旋轉動能通過該儲能變速組件231傳動至該飛輪機構21，使該主動車輪12因旋轉動能減少而轉速下降，從而降低該自行車1之行進速度。 With the above configuration, as shown in Fig. 2a, when the bicycle 1 is to be decelerated, the clutch mechanism 22 is operated to connect the driving wheel 12 to the flywheel mechanism 21 via the energy storage shifting unit 231 of the shifting mechanism. Thereby, the rotational kinetic energy of the driving wheel 12 is transmitted to the flywheel mechanism 21 through the energy storage shifting unit 231, so that the rotational speed of the driving wheel 12 is reduced due to the reduction of the rotational kinetic energy, thereby reducing the traveling speed of the bicycle 1.
如第2b圖所示，在該自行車1為低速或停止時，則經操作該離合機構22而斷開該主動車輪12與該飛輪機構21之間的連接。藉此，即便在該主動車輪12及該從動車輪13為靜止的情況中，藉由該飛輪機構21旋轉的角動量，仍可使該自行車1易於保持穩定。 As shown in Fig. 2b, when the bicycle 1 is at a low speed or stopped, the clutch mechanism 22 is operated to disconnect the driving wheel 12 from the flywheel mechanism 21. Thereby, even in the case where the driving wheel 12 and the driven wheel 13 are stationary, the bicycle 1 can be easily stabilized by the angular momentum of the rotation of the flywheel mechanism 21.
如第2c圖所示，在該自行車1為加速或起步時，則經操作該離合機構22而使該飛輪機構21通過該變速機構的該釋能變速組件232連接該主動車輪12。藉此，該飛輪機構21之旋轉動能通過該釋能變速組件232傳動至該主動車輪12，使該主動車輪12因旋轉動能增加而轉速上升，從而提升該自行車1之行進速度或是幫助該自行車1自停止狀態起步。 As shown in Fig. 2c, when the bicycle 1 is accelerating or starting, the clutch mechanism 21 is operated to connect the flywheel mechanism 21 to the active wheel 12 via the release shifting assembly 232 of the shifting mechanism. Thereby, the rotational kinetic energy of the flywheel mechanism 21 is transmitted to the driving wheel 12 through the release shifting assembly 232, so that the driving wheel 12 increases in rotational speed due to an increase in rotational kinetic energy, thereby increasing the traveling speed of the bicycle 1 or assisting the bicycle. 1 Start from the stop state.
