发明名称 Motorized driving device
摘要 The present invention discloses a motorized driving device for mounting on a frame of a bicycle. The bicycle includes a pedal drive mechanism coupled to a chain for transferring a drive force to at least one chainwheel. The drive device includes a power source of rotary power and a power transmission mechanism for coupling between the pedal drive mechanism and the chain. The power transmission mechanism further includes a first unidirectional power transmission module and a second unidirectional power transmission module, such that an auxiliary power transmitted by the power transmission mechanism from the power source to the chain is independent from an pedal power transmitted by the power transmission mechanism from the pedal drive mechanism to the chain. A method of installing a motorized driving device on a standard bicycle is also disclosed. The motorized driving device in the present invention is suitable for installing on the frame of any ordinary bicycle, without having to alter the frame structure of the bicycle.

主权项 1. A motorized driving device for mounting to a frame of a bicycle, said bicycle comprising a pedal drive mechanism coupled to a chain for transferring a drive force to at least one chainwheel, said motorized driving comprising: a) a power source of rotary power, said power source further comprising: i) a battery pack; andii) an electric motor coupled to said power transmission mechanism; said battery pack detachably fixed to said electric motor; said battery pack electrically connecting to said electric motor to provide electric power to said electric motor; and b) a power transmission mechanism for coupling between said pedal drive mechanism and said chain; said power transmission mechanism further comprising a first unidirectional power transmission module and a second unidirectional power transmission module, such that an auxiliary power transmitted by said power transmission mechanism from said power source to said chain is independent from a pedal power transmitted by said power transmission mechanism from said pedal drive mechanism to said chain; wherein said first unidirectional power transmission module further comprising an active flange for coupling to said pedal drive mechanism, and said second unidirectional power transmission module further comprises a passive flange coupled to said power source; said active flange providing said pedal power from said pedal drive mechanism to said chain; said passive flange providing said auxiliary power from said power source to said chain; said first unidirectional power transmission module further comprising: i) a plurality of pawl bases fixed on said passive flange;ii) a plurality of pawls each disposed in one of said plurality of pawl bases; andiii) a first ratchet mounted on an inner circumference of a primary gear; said first ratchet further comprising a plurality of first saw teeth formed on an inner circumference of said first ratchet; said plurality of first saw teeth engaging with said plurality of pawls in a way that when said primary gear rotates in a first direction with respect to said passive flange, said plurality of pawls driving said passive flange to move in said first direction; when said passive flange rotates in said first direction with respect to said primary gear, said primary gear not driven by said passive flange.
