<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a motor-driven vehicle capable of running on the power of a motor while having a pedal for manual running. <P>SOLUTION: A motor 4 is driven according to a pedalling force applied to a crankshaft 12. The shaft of the motor 4 is joined to a sun gear 25, and a ring gear 26 is integrated with an output shaft 14. A carrier 28 for supporting planetary gears 27 is interlocked with the crankshaft 12. The carrier 28 is supported on a unit case through a one-way clutch 32 which allows the forward rotation and restrains the reverse rotation. Forward and reverse rotations are input from the crankshaft 12 into the carrier 28. The motor 4 is driven in the reverse direction to act a torque on the carrier 28 in the reverse direction, and to rotate the carrier 28 in the forward direction by the rotation of the planetary gears 27. The torque of the motor 4 acts, as a reaction, on the crankshaft 12 through the carrier 28. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT</p> |
