Abstract

The invention provides a silent hub, which includes main components such as a gear cylinder, a fixed ratchet disk, a free gear disk, a propelling disk, a rotating linkage component, a guide seat, an axial propelling component, a reset torsion spring, and a magnetic component. When the free gear disk is in the released position, the gear cylinder is in a non-rotating mode. At this time, the axial propelling component has not yet carried out the axial propelling action, and the magnetic of the magnetic component will cause the free gear disk to return to the released position. Therefore, the driving convex portion and the driven convex portion constituting the rotating linkage component are engaged with each other, and the state between the free gear disk and the fixed ratchet disk is completely disengaged. When the silent hub is in a state that the pedal is not stepped on during the bicycle traveling, there will be no sound caused by the ratchet and no resistance, and it can indeed achieve the ideal state of silence and without any resistance.

Description

Silent hub

The invention relates to a bicycle hub; in particular, it refers to an innovative silent hub structure that has the effect of completely disengaging the ratchet tooth surfaces of the free tooth disc and the fixed ratchet disc in the idling mode.

The structure of the bicycle hub is designed to allow the user to drive the rear wheel to rotate forward when the user is stepping on the pedal, and when the user does not step on the pedal, the rear wheel can still rotate forward without being affected by the pedal. , Presenting the so-called "idling mode", usually through the configuration of the ratchet assembly to achieve this function.

Looking at the structure of the ratchet assembly of a bicycle hub, the main state switching components are the internally fixed ratchet disk and the externally fixed ratchet disk that are in an elastic meshing state. The internally fixed ratchet disk and the hub move simultaneously. The external fixed ratchet disk moves simultaneously with the gear cylinder of the bicycle. When the external fixed ratchet disk is moved forward due to the pedal being stepped on, its single oblique tooth surface bites into the single oblique tooth of the inner fixed ratchet disk. Conversely, when the user does not step on the pedal, the single oblique tooth surface between the internally fixed ratchet disk and the externally fixed ratchet disk will repel each other and present a relatively misaligned beating state. During this process, Bicycle riders can usually clearly hear the sound of tooth surface friction caused by the relative misalignment of the single oblique tooth surface. This state also shows that when the rear wheel of the conventional bicycle is in the idling mode, the internal fixation in the ratchet assembly is Although the single oblique tooth surfaces of the ratchet disk and the external fixed ratchet disk can retract each other, there is still considerable frictional resistance between the two, and this degree of frictional resistance is bound to produce relative Larger driving obstacles, the speed that the cyclist can hardly bring up by pedaling hard, will have to re-accelerate due to the rapid weakening of the aforementioned frictional resistance, which is more significant for competitive cars.

On the other hand, people have always been disturbed by the friction sound of the tooth surface when they are facing various road conditions when they are traveling, or experiencing the beautiful scenery and tranquil atmosphere along the way. Less impact on the quality of riding bicycles is part of the problem that the current bicycle-related industry wants to further improve and break through.

It can be seen that, in the face of the current and future trends in the design of higher-quality bicycles, how the wheel hub and ratchet assembly in idle mode can achieve lower resistance or even zero resistance is an important technology that cannot be ignored in the relevant industry. Subject.

The free gear plate has a meshing position and a release position change in action, and the free teeth The disc is provided with a second annular ratchet tooth surface and a driving surface. When the free tooth disc is in the meshing position, a single steering meshing driving relationship is formed between the second annular ratchet tooth surface and the first annular ratchet tooth surface, and When the free gear plate is in the release position, it constitutes a state in which the second annular ratchet tooth surface and the first annular ratchet tooth surface are completely separated from each other; a push plate is installed in the accommodating cavity of the gear barrel and Located on the outer circumference of the mandrel, the push plate is in a state of being able to rotate and axially move under force.

The inner wall of the accommodating cavity 32 is provided with an inner ring tooth 33. In addition, the gear barrel 30 is operative relative to the hub 20 to include a forward rotation drive, There are three modes: reverse rotation and non-rotation (that is, stop pedaling state, also called idling mode); a fixed ratchet disk 40 is positioned at the driven end 21 of the hub 20 and rotates synchronously with the hub 20 The fixed ratchet disk 40 is located at the outer circumferential interval of the spindle 10, the fixed ratchet disk 40 has a first annular ratchet tooth surface 41 facing the direction of the gear barrel 30; a free tooth disk 50, Installed in the accommodating cavity 32 of the gear barrel 30 and located on the outer circumference of the spindle 10, the free gear plate 50 is provided with an outer ring tooth 51 on the outer circumference, the outer ring tooth 51 and the accommodating cavity 32 of the gear barrel 30 The inner ring teeth 33 provided on the inner wall mesh with each other to form a synchronous rotation relationship between the free gear plate 50 and the gear barrel 30, and the free gear plate 50 can be pushed to move along the axial direction of the gear barrel 30, forming The free sprocket 50 has an engagement position and a release position change in action, and the free sprocket 50 is provided with a second annular ratchet surface 52 and a driving surface 53. When the free sprocket 50 is in the engagement Position, the second ring-shaped ratchet tooth surface 52 and the first ring-shaped ratchet tooth surface 41 are formed in a single steering engagement and driving relationship, and when the free chainring 50 is in the release position, the second ring-shaped ratchet surface 41 is formed The two ring-shaped ratchet surfaces 52 and the first ring-shaped ratchet surface 41 are completely disengaged from each other; a push plate 60 is installed in the accommodating cavity 32 of the gear barrel 30 and is located in the spindle 10 On the outer periphery, the pusher plate 60 is in a state capable of being rotated and axially displaced by force, and the pusher plate 60 has a driven side 61 and a pushing side 62, wherein the driven side 61 is opposite to the driving surface 53 of the free sprocket 50 Corresponding; a rotating linkage member 70 (as shown in Figure 3 for details), including a plurality of driving protrusions 71 arranged in a spaced ring array on the driving surface 53 of the free sprocket 50, and a driven disc 60 arranged in the drive The side 61 is a plurality of driven protrusions 72 in a spaced ring row; when the free sprocket 50 is in the release position (as shown in Figures 5 and 7), the driven protrusion 72 is opposite to the driving protrusion 71 Meshed to form a state in which the pusher plate 60 is driven to rotate by the free sprocket 50, and when the free sprocket 50 is in the engaged position (as shown in Figures 11 to 13), the driven convex portion 72 is formed It is disengaged from the driving protrusion 71; a guide seat 80 is installed in the accommodating cavity 32 of the gear barrel 30 in a positioning state (Note: the guide seat 80 It does not move simultaneously with the gear barrel 30) and is located on the outer circumference of the spindle 10, the guide seat 80 has a guide surface 81, the guide surface 81 corresponds to the pushing side 62 of the pushing plate 60; a plurality of axial pushing The member 90 is arranged between the guiding surface 81 of the guiding seat 80 and the pushing side 62 of the pushing disc 60 in a circularly spaced distribution pattern. When the pushing disc 60 rotates relative to the guiding seat 80, An axial thrust is generated through the axial pushing members 90 to push the pushing disk 60 together with the free toothed disk 50 toward the fixed ratchet disk 40 (Note: This action is referred to as axial thrusting hereinafter ) To drive the free gear plate 50 to move to the meshing position; a reset torsion spring 101 is provided at the place where the push plate 60 corresponds to the guide seat 80, so that the rotation of the push plate 60 has a reset elastic force; The magnetic member 102 (which can be, but is not limited to, a powerful magnet ring) is installed in the accommodating cavity 32 of the gear barrel 30 and positioned on the outer circumference of the spindle 10, and the installation of the magnetic member 102 The magnetic force field formed by the position is used to generate the magnetic attraction force that resets the displacement of the free gear plate 50 from the engaged position to the released position.

As shown in Figure 4, in this example, each of the axial pushing members 90 includes a pushing block 91 provided on the pushing side 62 of the pushing disk 60, and a guide surface 81 provided on the guide seat 80. An inclined guide surface 92; this example is mainly to provide a preferred embodiment of the axial pushing member 90, in short, it is the manner in which the protrusion matches the inclined surface.

Based on the above-mentioned structural composition and technical characteristics, the operation changes in the practical application of the preferred embodiment of the silent hub structure disclosed in the present invention are described as follows: First, as shown in Figs. 5, 6, and 7, the dissociation The chainring 50 is in the released position. This state corresponds to the state where the cyclist has not stepped on the pedals of the bicycle, so the gear barrel 30 is in a stationary and non-rotating mode at this time. In this state, because of the pushing of the axial pushing member 90 The block 91 and the inclined guide surface 92 will be in a state where the axial thrust has not yet been performed (as shown in Figure 14), and the magnetic attraction formed by the magnetic attraction member 102 will cause the free sprocket 50 to move to the release position The displacement is reset, so at this time, the driving convex portion 71 and the driven convex portion 72 are engaged with each other, and the second ring-shaped ratchet tooth surface 52 and the first ring-shaped ratchet tooth surface 41 are completely separated from each other. It can be seen that the silent hub disclosed in the present invention does not have the sound and resistance of ratchets jamming each other when the rider does not step on the pedal during the bicycle traveling, so it can indeed achieve silent (or It is called the ideal state of silence) and zero resistance; then, when the bicycle pedal is stepped forward, the gear barrel 30 assumes a forward driving mode, and the free chainring 50 will also be driven to rotate forward (as shown by the arrows in Figures 2 and 8) L2); As shown in Figures 8 to 10, the engagement between the driving protrusion 71 and the driven protrusion 72 will drive the push plate 60 to rotate relative to the guide seat 80, and at the same time it will pull The reset torsion spring 101 accumulates a reset spring force in the circumferential direction, and as the push plate 60 continues to rotate, it will cause the push block 91 and the inclined guide surface 92 to produce an inclined guide action, thereby achieving the axial thrust action ( As shown in the changes in Figures 14 to 16), when the pusher plate 60 is pushed axially, the free gear plate 50 will be pushed toward the fixed ratchet plate 40. Figures 8 to 10 show the second ring shape. The initial meshing state between the ratchet tooth surface 52 and the first annular ratchet tooth surface 41 is due to the ratchet inclined surface meshing relationship. Therefore, once the tooth surface is partially meshed, the first annular ratchet tooth surface 41 will interfere with the second annular ratchet tooth surface. The tooth surface 52 has the effect of axially hooking and guiding, so that the two quickly bite each other, thereby achieving a state in which the free tooth disk 50 and the fixed ratchet disk 40 are completely meshed as shown in Figures 11 to 13, and this At this time, the driving convex portion 71 provided on the free sprocket 50 and the driven convex portion 72 provided on the advancing disk 60 are in a state of being separated from each other with a gap (as marked by L3 in Figure 13). The purpose of the gap formation is based on the fact that after the aforementioned second ring-shaped ratchet surface 52 and the first ring-shaped ratchet surface 41 are completely meshed, the free gear plate 50 will drive the fixed ratchet plate 40 to rotate together with the hub 20 Therefore, at this time, the original role of the push plate 60 to push the free sprocket 50 in the axial direction has been completed. To prevent the push plate 60 from interfering with the rotation of the free sprocket 50, the protruding portion 71 and the driven protruding portion 72 are separated from each other. To solve this problem, and when the driving convex portion 71 is separated from the driven convex portion 72, the advancing disk 60 is immediately disconnected from the free tooth disk 50. At this time, the return elastic force previously accumulated by the return torsion spring 101 will pull the push plate 60 back to the state before the axial push action (as shown in Figure 14); and when the cyclist returns to When the bicycle pedal is not stepped on, the teeth between the second ring-shaped ratchet surface 52 and the first ring-shaped ratchet surface 41 will retract due to the relative reversal and return to the state shown in Figures 5 to 7 of the previous disclosure. The magnetic attraction force of the suction member 102 will once again drive the free chainring 50 to the release position to reset. This state is the same as described above, and will not be repeated here.

As shown in Figures 1 and 7, in this example, the outer circumference of the mandrel 10 is tightly sleeved and positioned with a cylinder 11, and the outer circumference of the cylinder 11 is provided with a ring groove 12 for the magnetic attraction member 102 to be embedded and positioned in Among them; this example mainly provides a better specific positioning method of the magnetic member 102. As shown in Figure 5, further, the back side of the ring groove 12 is relatively defined to form an annular shoulder 13, and the push plate 60 is correspondingly provided with a bearing surface 63 (Note: it can be set in each push block 91 (See Figure 3 for details), a wave-shaped spring 103 or a conical spring (not shown) is arranged between the annular shoulder 13 and the bearing surface 63 to elastically abut the Push plate 60; the effect of the implementation type disclosed in this example is mainly that when the free gear plate 50 is fully engaged with the fixed ratchet plate 40, the wave-shaped elastic piece 103 can push the push plate 60 back and out of the The free sprocket 50 helps to drive the convex portion 71 and the driven convex portion 72 to jump out quickly, thereby more effectively avoiding the jamming of the two. Wherein, the conical spring can reach a single wire diameter thickness when it is compressed, and the elasticity is relatively soft compared with the aforementioned wave-shaped shrapnel, which can be selected according to the elasticity requirements of the production industry.

As shown in Figures 1 and 7, in this example, the outer end of the cylinder 11 is screw-locked with an outer baffle plate 14 in an enlarged outer diameter. The outer baffle plate 14 is used for the axial direction of the guide seat 80. Leaning against the limit, the outer baffle plate 14 and the guide seat 80 are made of magnetically permeable material, and a positioning magnetic member 15 (specifically, a positioning magnet 15) is arranged between the outer baffle plate 14 and the guide seat 80 Ring magnet) to magnetically position the guide seat 80 on the outer baffle 14; the implementation mode disclosed in this example mainly provides a specific positioning method for the guide seat 80, and the position set in this example is used The magnetism of the magnetic member 15 also has a certain degree of axial reset auxiliary effect and effect on the thrust plate 60.

Following the embodiment shown in Fig. 4, the adjacent side of each guide surface 81 as shown in Fig. 14 is further provided with a stand-by stroke section 82 in the form of a flat surface, the stand-by stroke section The circumferential path stroke of 82 is in the angular range of 5 degrees to 150 degrees, so that when each push block 91 is displaced, it must pass through the standby stroke section 82 before it aligns with the corresponding inclined guide surface 92 to generate an inclined surface to push Exercise; the effect of the implementation mode disclosed in this example is mainly to allow the user to step backwards when the user stops pedaling (that is, the gear barrel 30 is in a stationary and non-rotating mode), if the user's foot has a slight angle of less than 35 degrees When it is in action (that is, the gear barrel 30 is in a reverse rotation driving mode), the axial thrust function is not driven too sensitively.

As shown in Fig. 17, in this example, each of the axial pushing members 90B includes a first arc-shaped groove 93 provided on the pushing side 62 of the pushing disk 60, and a guide provided on the guide seat 80. A second arc-shaped groove 94 of the surface 81 and a rigid ball 95 placed between the first arc-shaped groove 93 and the second arc-shaped groove 94; this example mainly provides the axial pushing member 90B Another preferred embodiment of, in short, is the way the balls fit the concave arc surface.

As shown in Figure 7, in this example, the driving surface 53 of the free gear plate 50 is in the form of an axially concave surface, and an axially concave space 54 is defined relative to the free gear plate 50 for the The thrust plate 60 is embedded therein; the effect of the implementation type disclosed in this example is mainly to further reduce the axial volume of the overall structure of the hub 20, thereby facilitating the development trend of miniaturization of the hub 20.

As shown in Fig. 18, in this example, the driving convex portion 71B provided on the driving surface 53 of the free chainring 50 and the driven convex portion 72B provided on the driven side 61 of the pusher plate 60 are convex at an angle of 0 The rigid lug body shape between 20 degrees and 20 degrees inclination (X) enables reasonable driving force and smoothness of tooth withdrawal between the two. Through the inclination shape of the driving convex portion 71B and the driven convex portion 72B, it can be Relatively reduce the noise when the two collide.

Continuing the embodiment disclosed in the previous paragraph, one of the driving convex portion and the driven convex portion can be a vertical rigid convex shape with no inclination angle, and the other one can be rigid with an inclination angle of 10 degrees to 20 degrees. Convex body type; this change implementation type can also achieve the effects described in the previous paragraph (note: the illustration in this example is omitted).
