請參閱第1圖及第3圖,舉例來說,當騎乘者踩動自行車10後,速度感測器11、鏈條感測器12、坡度感測器13、扭力感測器14及轉速感測器18會一直持續保持感測狀態,以感測騎乘者之車輪轉動速度、鏈條轉動速度或鏈條轉動之方向、自行車車體之傾斜角度、踏板之曲柄扭力及自行車之踏板之轉動速度,讓騎乘者於不同路況上騎乘時,可藉由控制單元15接收車輪轉動訊號、鏈條轉動訊號、傾斜訊號、扭力訊號及腳踏轉速訊號,並傳送至手持裝置100經由演算法計算後,以產生並傳送檔位訊號至控制單元15,再由控制單元15接收檔位訊號後傳送控制訊號給變速裝置16,令變速裝置16自動調整自行車10上之變速器60。除此之外,亦可當騎乘者即時得知感測結果後,直接進一步手動調整變速器之檔位。 Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 3 .

In addition, when the rider immediately knows the sensing result, the gear position of the transmission can be directly adjusted manually.

請參閱第2圖及第3圖,舉例來說,若自行車10上未裝設手持裝置100時,同樣地當騎乘者踩動自行車10後,速度感測器11、鏈條感測器12、坡度感測器13、扭力感測器14、轉速感測器18會一直持續保持感測狀態,以感測自行車之車輪轉動速度、鏈條轉動速度或鏈條轉動之方向、自行車車體之傾斜角度、踏板之曲柄扭力及自行車之踏板之轉動速度,並將感測結果傳送至控制單元15,控制單元15經過演算法計算後,產生檔位訊號,再藉由此檔位訊號產生控制訊號,並傳送此控制訊號至變速裝置16,進而令變速裝置16自動調整自行車10之變速器之檔位。上述之檔位變化方式可例如為當騎乘者騎行上坡路段時,可將變速器調整為小齒盤對大飛輪,而騎行下坡路段時,可將變速器調整為大齒盤對小飛輪 。藉由上述之方式可以達到一種自動變速之自行車,且本發明更與手機相互結合,以符合目前時下科技與健康之結合。 Please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 . For example, if the handheld device 100 is not mounted on the bicycle 10 , similarly when the rider steps on the bicycle 10 , the speed sensor 11 , the chain sensor 12 , The slope sensor 13, the torsion sensor 14, and the rotational speed sensor 18 continue to maintain the sensing state to sense the wheel rotation speed of the bicycle, the chain rotation speed or the direction of the chain rotation, the inclination angle of the bicycle body, The crank torque of the pedal and the rotation speed of the pedal of the bicycle, and the sensing result is transmitted to the control unit 15, and after the calculation of the algorithm by the control unit 15, the gear position signal is generated, and the control signal is generated by the gear position signal, and transmitted. This control signal is transmitted to the shifting device 16, which in turn causes the shifting device 16 to automatically adjust the gear position of the transmission of the bicycle 10. The above-mentioned gear change manner may be, for example, when the rider rides an uphill section, the transmission can be adjusted to a small gear-to-large flywheel, and when riding a downhill section, the transmission can be adjusted to a large-toothed-to-small flywheel . By means of the above, an automatic shifting bicycle can be achieved, and the invention is further integrated with the mobile phone to conform to the current combination of technology and health.

總言之,本發明之自行車自動變速系統於設計上之巧思,讓自行車之騎乘者可以無需手動變換檔位,變速裝置會依據控制訊號調整自行車之變速器之檔位,或是騎乘者根據感測結果進行手動調整變速器之檔位,令不熟悉路況或是初學者也可以調整到最適合此路況之檔位以進行騎乘之動作,著實便利。 In summary, the bicycle automatic shifting system of the present invention is designed with ingenuity so that the rider of the bicycle can manually adjust the gear position of the bicycle according to the control signal, or the rider can adjust the gear position according to the control signal. According to the sensing result, the gear position of the transmission can be manually adjusted, so that the unfamiliar road condition or the beginner can also adjust the gear position most suitable for the road condition to perform the riding action, which is convenient.
