(19) The support sleeve 18 rotates integrally with the rear axle 15, and a sprocket holder 20 is fitted through a one-way clutch 19 over the outer periphery of the support sleeve 18. A driven sprocket 21 is fitted on the sprocket holder 20.

(20) A drive chain 22 is passed around the drive sprocket 13 and the driven sprocket 21. The drive sprocket 13 is fitted to the pedal shaft 10 and the driven sprocket 21 is fitted on the rear axle 15.

(22) The hub plate 24 and the hub case 25 are thus coupled in one piece, and the hub plate 24 and the hub case 25 form a bottomed cylindrical shape with the hub plate 24 serving as a bottom wall and the hub case 25 serving as a cylindrical portion. The bottomed cylindrical shape has a left-side opening end and the bottomed cylindrical shape is supported integrally with the rear axle 15.

(23) A rear wheel 23 is configured such that spokes 27 are interposed between the outer periphery of the hub case 25 and a rim 28, and the rim 28 holds a rear wheel tire 29 from inside (see FIGS. 1 and 2).

(24) Referring to FIG. 3, the rear axle 15 extends through the hub plate 24 into the hub case 25, and a motor power transmission device 30 is arranged on and around the rear axle 15. The motor power transmission device 30 is partially covered with the hub plate 24.

(25) The motor power transmission device 30 includes an electric motor 40 and a planetary speed reducer 50. The planetary speed reducer 50 decelerates and outputs the power of the electric motor 40.

(26) A right speed reducer cover 32 is located adjacent to the hub plate 24, and the speed reducer cover 32 is rotatably supported through a bearing 31 at an axial position of the rear axle 15, extending out of the hub plate 24.

(27) The speed reducer cover 32 is formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape made up of an axially narrow cylindrical portion 32a and a bottom wall 32b. A central boss on the bottom wall 32b is fitted on an outer race of the bearing 31.

(28) A right end face of a cylindrical portion 33a of a motor transmission case 33 abuts on the left end face of the cylindrical portion 32a of the speed reducer cover 32, and the motor transmission case 33 is coupled to the left end face of the cylindrical portion 32a by being fastened with bolts 34.

(29) The motor transmission case 33 has a bearing wall 33b formed at an axially central position of the cylinder portion 33a, and the motor transmission case 33 has cavities on both axial sides of the bearing wall 33b.

(30) The motor cover 35 is placed to cover the left opening of the motor transmission case 33.

(31) The motor cover 35 is formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape made up of a cylindrical portion 35a and a bottom wall 35b. The right end face of the cylinder portion 35a abuts on the left end face of the motor transmission case 33, and the motor cover 35 is coupled to the motor transmission case 33 by being fastened with bolts 36.

(32) The motor cover 35 and the motor transmission case 33 are coupled to, and supported by the rear ends of the upper and lower left rear frames 6L and 7L.

(33) The inner space created between the motor cover 35 and the bearing wall 33b of the motor transmission case 33 constitutes a motor space 30M. The electric motor 40 is mounted in the motor space 30M.

(34) An inner space created between the speed reducer cover 32 and the bearing wall 33b of the motor transmission case 33 constitutes a speed reducer space 30R, and the planetary speed reducer 50 is installed in the speed reducer space 30R.

(35) The electric motor 40 has a motor rotational shaft 41 provided coaxially with the rear axle 15 in a position adjacent to the left end face of the rear axle 15.

(36) Specifically, the motor rotational shaft 41 is journaled through a bearing 45 in the bearing wall 33b of the motor transmission case 33, and the left end of the motor rotational shaft 41 is also journaled on a bearing 46. The bearing 46 is fixed in a cylindrical bearing portion 35c. The cylindrical bearing portion 35c protrudes axially from the center of the bottom wall 35b of the motor cover 35. The motor rotational shaft 41 is rotatably supported by the motor transmission case 33 and the motor cover 35.

(37) A motor rotor 42 is fitted between the left and right bearings 46 and 45 supporting the motor rotational shaft 41, in such a manner that the motor rotational shaft 41 rotates integrally with the motor rotor 42.

(38) A motor stator 43 is placed around the outer periphery of the motor rotor 42, and the motor stator 43 is supported by the motor transmission case 33.

(39) The motor rotational shaft 41 has a journal portion supported by the right bearing 45, and the motor rotational shaft 41 protrudes rightward from the journal portion through the bearing wall 33b to extend into the speed reducer space 30R. On the protruding right end portion of the motor rotational shaft 41, a sun gear 51 of the planetary speed reducer 50 is formed.

(40) On the other hand, the left end of the rear axle 15 is located in close proximity to the sun gear 51 on the right end portion of the motor rotational shaft 41, and a separate flange member 52 is fitted over the left end of the rear axle 15.

(41) The flange member 52 includes a cylindrical portion 52b and a flange 52a. The cylindrical portion 52b is fitted over the rear axle 15. The flange 52a of an increased diameter is formed at the left end of the cylindrical portion 52b.

(42) Between the cylindrical portion 52b of the flange member 52 and the inner race of the bearing 31, an annular retainer member 53 is placed, and the retainer member 53 is fitted over the rear axle 15. The flange member 52 is positioned such that the left end face of the flange 52a is located approximately flush with the left end face of the rear axle 15.

(43) A planetary carrier 55 is supported in an axially slidable manner on the cylindrical portion 52b of the flange member 52.

(44) As shown by dotted pattern in FIGS. 4 and 5, the planetary carrier 55 has a disc portion 55a from which three arms 55b extend radially at regular intervals apart from each other.

(45) The planetary carrier 55 is supported on the outer periphery of the cylindrical portion 52b of the flange member 52 in an axially slidable manner. A disc spring 54 is interposed between the disc portion 55a of the planetary carrier 55 and the retainer member 53. The planetary carrier 55 is urged leftward by the disc spring 54.

(46) The left end face of the disc portion 55a of the planetary carrier 55 faces the right end face of the flange 52a of the flange member 52, and as shown in FIG. 6, uneven surfaces 56c and 56f are provided on the mutually opposing surfaces of the disc portion 55a and the flange 52a. On each of the uneven surfaces 56c and 56f, a plurality of trapezoid-shaped cam noses (trapezoidal protrusions) are formed to extend transversely to the circumferential directions in such a fashion that the trapezoid-shaped cam noses are spaced at predetermined intervals in the circumferential directions. A torque cam 56 is thus formed by the uneven surfaces 56c and 56f capable of being engaged with each other between the flange member 52 and the planetary carrier 55. The planetary carrier 55 is urged axially by the disc spring 54.

(47) In other words, the torque cam 56 transmits power between the flange member 52 and the planetary carrier 55 while absorbing relative torque variation by axial movement of the planetary carrier 55 axially urged by the disc spring 54.

(48) When an excessive relative torque greater than a permissible value is applied, the planetary carrier 55 axially urged by the disc spring 54 is moved against the urging force of the disc spring 54, whereby the torque cam 56 releases mutual engagement between the uneven surfaces 56c and 56f to block the transmission of power. Thus a torque limiter mechanism 57 is provided.

(49) Through each of the distal ends of the three arms 55b of the planetary carrier 55, a support shaft 60 passes from right to left. Each of the support shafts 60 rotatably supports thereon a first planetary gear 61 of a larger diameter and a second planetary gear 62 of a smaller diameter in integrally rotatable manner.

(50) The first planetary gear 61 of the larger diameter is located at the same axial position as that of the sun gear 51, which is located on the right portion of the motor rotational shaft 41. Therefore the first planetary gear 61 meshes with the sun gear 51.

(51) The support shaft 60 has a cylindrical shaft portion 60b as a main body, and the support shaft 60 has a flanged head 60a at the right end of the cylindrical shaft portion 60b. On the support shaft 60, a male screw 60c with a reduced diameter is formed at the distal end (left end) of the cylindrical shaft portion 60b.

(52) The support shaft 60 passes through the distal end of each of the arms 55b of the planetary carrier 55, with the flanged head 60a in abutment with the arm 55b. In this condition, the second planetary gear 62 of the smaller diameter is rotatably supported through a needle bearing 63 on the cylindrical shaft portion 60b of the support shaft 60, with the cylindrical shaft portion 60b protruding leftward from the arm 55b.

(53) The second planetary gear 62 has a cylindrical portion 62s extending leftward, and the first planetary gear 61 of the larger diameter is fitted on the cylindrical portion 62s.

(54) The first planetary gear 61 and the second planetary gear 62 rotates integrally.

(55) An annular support member 64 is provided on the male screw 60c on the left end of each of the three support shafts 60, and the annular support member 64 is placed along the left side of the first planetary gear 61. The male screw 60c extends out of the annular support member 64, and a nut 65 is screwed onto the protruding male screw 60c. Thus, the planetary carrier 55 and the annular support members 64, between which the cylindrical shaft portion 60b of each of the three mutually parallel support shafts 60 are placed, are fastened integrally.

(56) An annular internal gear (ring gear) 66 is provided to be in axial abutment with the left end surface of the narrow cylindrical portion 32a of the speed reducer cover 32, which is positioned on the right side of the planetary carrier 55 and supported by the bearing 31. The annular internal gear 66 is attached to the left end surface of the narrow cylindrical portion 32a with fixing bolts 67.

(57) The three second planetary gears 62 mesh with the internal tooth of the annular internal gear 66.

(58) FIGS. 4 and 5 are right side views illustrating the motor power transmission device 30 with the speed reducer cover 32 removed.

(59) Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, the first planetary gears 61 of the larger diameter are rotatably supported respectively by the three arms 55b of the planetary carrier 55, and each of the first planetary gears 61 meshes with the sun gear 51, while each of the second planetary gears 62 of the smaller diameter in combination with each of the first planetary gears 61 meshes with the annular internal gear 66.

(60) The planetary speed reducer 50 is configured as described above. When the electric motor 40 is actuated to rotate the motor rotational shaft 41, the sun gear 51 is rotated. Since the three first planetary gears 61 mesh with the sun gear 51 and the three second planetary gears 62 mesh with the annular internal gear 66, and since each of the three first planetary gears 61 and the corresponding one of the three second planetary gears 62 integrally rotate together, the first and second planetary gears 61 and 62 being rotated are then caused to revolve around the sun gear 51. Consequently, the planetary carrier 55, supporting the three sets of the first and second planetary gears 61 and 62, follows the revolving motion of the first and second planetary gears 61 and 62 to rotate, so as to perform its speed reducing operation to reduce the rotational speed (see FIGS. 4 and 5).

(61) The rotation of the planetary carrier 55 is transmitted to the flange member 52 through the engagement of the uneven surface 56c and 56f of the torque cam 56 (see FIG. 6), and thus the rotation of the rear axle 15 is assisted in combination with the rotation of the flange member 52.

(62) In this manner, the operation of the electric motor 40 serves as a power for assisting travel by pedal, but with the use of the motor power transmission device 30, the power-assisted pedal vehicle 1 is capable of traveling only by the power of the electric motor 40.

(63) During normal travel, the power of the electric motor 40 acts as auxiliary power as described above. When excessive back torque is applied during the normal travel from the rear wheel 23 to the motor power transmission device 30, the torque limiter mechanism 57 including the torque cam 56 actuates. The torque cam 56 is provided between the flange member 52 and the planetary carrier 55, and the flange member 52 is fitted to the left end of the rear axle 15.

(64) The operation of the torque limiter mechanism 57 will be described with reference to FIG. 7.

(65) FIG. 7(1) to FIG. 7(7) are illustrations schematically depicting the operational process of the torque limiter mechanism 57 in sequence when excessive back torque occurs.

(66) The views shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 are schematic views of the torque limiter mechanism 57 with the planetary carrier 55 and the flange member 52 being shown developed. In FIG. 7, relative rotation of the planetary carrier 55 and the flange member 52 is shown, from a view point of relative rotation of the flange member 52 with the rotation of the planetary carrier 55 stopped.

(67) Since back torque is transmitted to the rear axle 15 from the rear wheel 23, the back torque is applied first to the flange member 52. Then, as shown in FIG. 7(1), by the relative rotation of the flange member 52 as indicated with the arrow, the inclined side surfaces of the trapezoidal protrusions on the flange uneven surface 56f on the flange member 52 are caused to abut against inclined side surfaces of the trapezoidal protrusions on the carrier uneven surface 56c on the planetary carrier 55, so that mutual engagement is produced.

(68) Thereupon, the planetary carrier 55 is axially moved against the urging force of the disc spring 54 so that the trapezoidal protrusions on the carrier uneven surface 56c are caused to slide up along the inclined side surfaces of the trapezoidal protrusions of the flange uneven surface 56f (see FIG. 7(2) and FIG. 7(3)).

(69) After the trapezoidal protrusions of the carrier uneven surface 56c have completely slid up along the inclined side surface of the trapezoidal protrusions on the flange uneven surface 56f, as shown in FIG. 7(4), the engagement of the carrier uneven surface 56c and the flange uneven surface 56f is released, so that the transmission of the back torque from the flange member 52 to the planetary carrier 55 is blocked.

(70) Then, the trapezoidal protrusions of the carrier uneven surface 56c climb over the trapezoidal protrusions of the flange uneven surface 56f, and the urging force of the disc spring 54 causes the trapezoidal protrusions of the carrier uneven surface 56c to be engaged again with the trapezoidal protrusions of the flange uneven surface 56f (see FIG. 7(5) and FIG. 7(6)). Then, the initial state shown in FIG. 7(1) is obtained (see FIG. 7(7)).

(71) Accordingly, insofar as excessive back torque is input from the rear wheel 23 to the rear axle 15 to be applied to the flange member 52, the process from FIG. 7(1) to FIG. 7(7) is repeated, so that the back torque is blocked from being transmitted to the planetary carrier 55 by the torque limiter mechanism 57 due to the torque cam 56 between the flange member 52 and the planetary carrier 55.

(72) Therefore, the torque limiter mechanism 57 blocks the transmission of excessive back torque to the planetary carrier 55 of the planetary speed reducer 50, and thus the torque limiter mechanism 57 can avoid applying excessive load to the planetary speed reducer 50, so that the planetary speed reducer 50 is protected.

(73) An embodiment of the motor power transmission device in accordance with the present invention has been described in detail, and the embodiment produces the following advantageous effects.

(74) Because, as illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 7, the torque limiter mechanism 57 is interposed between the planetary carrier 55 and the rear axle 15, when excessive back torque greater than a permissible value is input to the rear axle 15, the torque limiter mechanism 57 operates to block transmission of the back torque to the planetary speed reducer 50. As a result, excessive load on the planetary speed reducer 50 is prevented, and thus the planetary speed reducer 50 can be protected.

(75) As illustrated in FIG. 3, the disengageable torque cam 56 is formed between the flange 52a and the disc portion 55a, the flange 52a being provided integrally with the rear axle 15, and the disc portion 55a being a member oppositely facing the flange 52a in the axial direction of the planetary carrier 55. Further, the planetary carrier 55 is pressed against the flange 52a by the disc spring 54, to thus constitute the torque limiter mechanism 57. Because of this, the torque limiter mechanism 57 is a simple mechanism in which, when excessive back torque greater than a permissible value is input to the rear axle 15, the engagement of the torque cam 56 is released to block the transmission of back torque. Accordingly, the torque limiter mechanism 57 can be incorporated in the motor power transmission device 30 in a compact manner, and thus increase in size of the motor power transmission device 30 can be minimized.

(76) Because, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the flange 52a is arranged between the sun gear 51 and the planetary carrier 55 in the axial direction, the flange 52a and the torque cam 56 are located within the planetary speed reducer 50. As a result, a reduction in axial width of the motor power transmission device 30 can be achieved.

(77) As illustrated in FIG. 3, the flange member 52 is independent of the rear axle 15, and the flange member 52 includes the cylindrical portion 52b and the flange 52a, the flange 52a of an increased diameter being formed at the axial end of the cylindrical portion 52b. The flange member 52 is mounted by fitting the cylindrical portion 52b over the rear axle 15 and the planetary carrier 55 is supported on the cylindrical portion 52b of the flange member 52 in a rotatable manner. Therefore, the planetary carrier 55 is supported by the cylindrical portion 52b of the flange member 52, the cylindrical portion 52b having an outer diameter larger than that of the rear axle 15. As a result, inclination displacement of the shaft center of the planetary carrier 55 is prevented, and the planetary speed reducer 50 and the torque limiter mechanism 57 are able to be regularly and smoothly operated.

(78) The motor power transmission device 30 in accordance with an embodiment according to the present invention has been described, but it should be understood that aspects of the present invention are not limited to the above embodiment and various aspects embodied without departing from the scope and sprit of the present invention are included.
