Bicycle chain structure with reduced chain loss

The present invention relates to a technical field of bicycle parts, and more particularly to a bicycle chain structure for reducing the number of chains that can make the transmission smoother and more reliable, and can also greatly reduce the number of falling chains.

A conventional bicycle sprocket structure, as shown in the patent application No. M243426 of the copper's earlier application, is mainly formed on an outer surface of at least one side of the sprocket, and the outer periphery of the outer protrusion corresponds to at least A root portion of the chain is formed with a convex arc-shaped support portion, and the support portion is opposite to the inner curvature of the inner chain piece of the chain. In this way, the support portion can support the concave arc position on the lower side of the inner chain piece, so that the effective contact area is increased between the toothed disc and the inner arc of the chain to reduce the wear speed, enhance the rigidity and support the chain transmission. Rigidity and strength make it easier to break the chain when it is engaged to ensure good and reliable transmission performance.

However, after a long time of testing and actual use by the creators, it is found that there are still many problems as follows:

1. The support portion of the conventional bicycle chainring is only supported on the lower side of the inner chain piece, and cannot support the lower side of the outer chain piece, so the lower side of the outer chain piece is suspended outside the toothed plate. State without any support, thus making the entire chain The strip is easy to generate torsion and twisting stress at the outer chain piece, thereby increasing the damage to the chain teeth, and it is also easy to cause the chain to fall, which in turn affects the transmission efficiency.

2. The conventional bicycle chainring is mainly for the purpose that the chain is wound around the half of the chain to engage with the plurality of sprocket teeth to generate the transmission, but each sprocket of the sprocket and each section of the chain are produced or More or less there are some tolerances, and when the chain is driven, the portion that starts to extend outward with the sprocket is not ideally in a linear tight state, but is attracted by gravity and is in a drooping arc state. When it starts to bite with the sprocket of the rotating toothed disc, interference often occurs, and although the interference is small, the user often feels uncomfortable when stepping on the pedal during the transmission process.

3. The thickness of the plurality of sprocket teeth of the conventional bicycle sprocket is the same, and the thickness thereof is a narrow chain hole that can be embedded in the chain without a large gap. Therefore, when the sprocket is embedded in the wide chain hole of the chain, the sprocket and the slats on both sides of the wide chain hole form a very large gap, so that when the sprocket drives the chain The transmission tension will be greatly reduced, and the chain at the wide chain hole will also be laterally slipped on the element due to the excessive gap, so that the chain can easily occur. In particular, when a bicycle travels on a mountain or other rugged terrain, it causes the chain to fall more seriously.

4. The wide chain hole of the general chain has a large space, so it is easy to clamp the dirt and other impurities. In particular, the conventional bicycle toothed disc has a large gap between the chain teeth of the chain and the wide chain hole of the chain, so the card is set therein. The soil... If the impurities are not immediately removed, it will not only cause the chain or the chain teeth to wear, but also affect the transmission effect of the chainring and the chain.

In view of this, the creator is aiming at the many defects and inconveniences caused by the unfinished design of the bicycle gear plate, and further conceived in the spirit of excellence, and actively researched and improved the test, and then developed and designed This creation.

Conventional bicycle toothed discs have problems such as less reliable transmission, unsmooth transmission, easy chain drop, and easy to jam in the chain.

The present invention provides a bicycle chain structure that reduces the number of chains, including a disk body and a plurality of teeth. Wherein, the outer peripheral surface of the disk body is formed with a plurality of convex tooth forming portions corresponding to the chain holes of the chain. The disk surface on at least one side of the disk has a convex portion having a smaller outer diameter, and the periphery of the convex portion is formed in a wave shape for fitting correspondingly to the lower side of the inner and outer links of the chain. A plurality of convex teeth are disposed on the plurality of convex tooth forming portions, and the plurality of convex teeth are composed of a plurality of first protruding teeth, a plurality of second protruding teeth, and at least one or more odd third protruding teeth. The number of the first plurality of convex teeth is an even number, and the tooth surface has a convex block, and the upper edge of the convex piece extends to the tooth end surface, so that the plurality of first convex teeth can be embedded in the wide chain hole of the chain, and both There will be no big gaps between them. The plurality of second protruding teeth and the third protruding tooth system are alternately arranged with the plurality of first protruding teeth, the number of the plurality of second protruding teeth is an odd number, and the same can be embedded in the narrow chain hole of the chain, and the two There will be no big gaps between them. The third convex tooth has a short length and can correspond to the narrow chain hole embedded in the chain without interfering with the chain.

The bicycle chain structure for reducing the number of chains provided by the present invention can be formed by forming a wave-like structure for fitting the lower side of the inner and outer links of the chain by the periphery of the protrusion. When the chain plate drives the chain, the circumference of the convex portion can provide effective contact and support on the lower side of the chain piece and the inner chain piece outside the chain, so that the chain can be prevented from being twisted or twisted, so that the chain can be made Its transmission is more certain. Moreover, the convex portion can also increase the structural strength of the toothed disc, thereby further improving the transmission rigidity and efficiency thereof. In particular, the space allowed by the odd number of shorter third teeth can absorb the tolerance of each tooth of the toothed disc and each section of the chain to reduce the interference frequency of the teeth of the chain and the toothed disc. In turn, it can make the transmission smoother. In particular, the bumps on the tooth faces of the plurality of first convex teeth are such that they do not have too much gap between the two in the wide chain holes of the chain, so that the toothed disc can be effectively increased. The driving tension when driving the chain, and the lateral movement of the chain on the chainring can be reduced, thereby effectively reducing the chance of falling. Furthermore, by using the draining groove formed between the lower edge of the two bumps and the periphery of the convex portion of the disk body, the dirt and the like which are trapped in the wide chain hole on the chain can be easily used. Discharged to keep the chain clean, which can further reduce the wear of the chain or the protruding teeth, and can further reduce the situation of the chain.
