DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] In order to explain the Embodiment of the present application more clearly, specific embodiments of the present application will be described below with accompanying drawings. Obviously, the accompanying drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present application. For those skilled in the art, other figures and other embodiments can be obtained according to these accompanying drawings without paying creative labor.

Embodiment 1

[0036] As shown in FIG. 1, a stored energy transmission mechanism X in this Embodiment is integrated with a rotating component Y and used for driving the rotating component Y to rotate. In particular, a wheel is illustrated as a rotating component; that is, the stored energy-driven wheel of Embodiment is obtained. In addition, the rotating component is not limit to the wheel of the Embodiment, and it is also applicable to other existing rotating components.

[0037] As shown in FIGS. 2-11, the stored energy transmission mechanism of the Embodiment includes a center shaft 1, a spring piece 2, a transmission cover 3, a flywheel 4, and a flywheel seat 5.

[0038] In particular, as shown in FIGS. 4-6, the spring piece 2 is coiled around the middle position of the center shaft 1, the inner end of the spring piece 2 is fixedly connected with the center shaft 1, and the outer end of the spring piece 2 is fixedly connected with the transmission cover 3. The advantage of this design lies in that, when the transmission cover 3 is rotatably cooperated with the center shaft 1, it can tighten the spring piece 2, thereby realizing the effect of energy storage, being ready for subsequent energy release and transmission. In addition, the spring piece 2 is positioned in the transmission cover 3, so as to avoid the exposure of the spring piece 2 and ensure the stability of tightening and restoring of the spring piece 2, and provide a high safety. Specifically, the inner end of the spring piece 2 is formed with a fixing hole 20, and the center shaft 1 is formed with a threaded hole 10. The screw 6 is extended through the fixing hole 20 at the inner end of the screw 6 and threaded connected with the threaded hole 10, so as to fix the inner end of the spring piece 2 on the center shaft 1. In addition, the head of the outer end of the spring piece 2 can be bent, thereby forming an insertion portion 21.

[0039] As shown in FIGS. 7-8, the transmission cover 3 includes a cover body 3-1 and a cover lid 3-2. The cover body 3-1 is a cylindrical structure with two open ends, the side wall of which is formed with an insertion hole 30. The insertion hole 30 has a length corresponding to the width of the spring piece 2, so that the insertion portion 21 of the spring piece 2 can be stably inserted and fixed in the insertion hole 30 of the transmission cover 3, so that the stability of energy storage and transmission can be improved. In this Embodiment, by making full use of the rigidity characteristics of the spring piece 2, the spring piece can be directly bent to form the insertion portion 21, without the need of additional fixing piece, thereby simplifying the corresponding fixed connection structure. In particular, the cover lid covers the opening at one end of the cover body 3-1, and the diameter of the opening at the other end is smaller than the opening covered by the cover lid 3-2, which is convenient for the assembling of the spring piece 2 and the subsequent installation of the flywheel 4.

[0040] In particular, the width of the spring piece 2 in this Embodiment is 30 mm, which ensures a sufficient transmission force and convenient machining. The width of the spring piece 2 can be selected and adjusted depending on the actual use demand. The optional range is 5-60 mm, which can basically meet the demand of different usage scenarios, but it is not limited to 5-60 mm, which will not be repeated here.

[0041] The center shaft 1 in this Embodiment penetrates through both ends of the transmission cover 3. As shown in FIG. 8, the bearing 7 mounted at one end of the cover lid through the bearing hole 32 of the cover is mounted with the center shaft 1, and the diameter of the opening at the other end is smaller for mounting the flywheel 4. Specifically, the opening wall of the opening with a smaller diameter on the transmission cover 3 is fixedly connected to the outer ring of the flywheel 4. The inner ring of the flywheel 4 is fixedly connected to the flywheel seat 5, and the flywheel seat 5 is mounted on the wheel hub 0 of the wheel.

[0042] As shown in FIG. 9, the wheel hub is formed with a mounting slot I which is used to mounted the stored energy transmission mechanism, so that the stored energy transmission mechanism and the wheel hub 0 are integrated with each other and the whole structure is more compact. Specifically, the mounting slot I of the wheel hub 0 extends along the axis of the center shaft 1, with one side being open and the other side being formed with a wheel shaft mounting hole II. The transmission cover 3 is mounted in the mounting slot I of the wheel hub 0, and the opening with a smaller diameter on the transmission cover 3 faces the open side of the mounting slot I. The mounting hole II of center shaft 1 of the wheel hub 0 is formed with a bearing 8, the inner hole of the bearing 8 is used for the penetration and installation of the center shaft 1. A retaining ring 9 sleeved outside the center shaft 1 is arranged between the inner rings of the bearing 7 and the bearing 8.

[0043] As shown in FIG. 10, the flywheel 4 in the Embodiment is a four-hole toothless flywheel. Four bolts or screws respectively extends through four mounting holes 40 of the flywheel and are connected with the threaded holes 31 formed on the opening wall of the opening with a smaller diameter on the transmission cover 3, so that the cover body of the transmission cover 3 can be fixed to the outer ring 4-1 of the flywheel 4. The outer ring 4-1 of the flywheel 4 is a ratchet ring and the inner ring of the flywheel 4 is a pawl ring. For details, reference can be made to the structure of the existing common four-hole toothless flywheel, which will not be described here. The inner ring 4-2 of the flywheel 4 has an inner thread 41. Correspondingly, as shown in FIG. 11, the flywheel seat 5 includes a seat body 5-1 and a cylinder column 5-2 protruding above seat body 5-1, and the cylinder column 5-2 has an outer thread 51 connected to the inner thread 41 of the inner ring of the flywheel 4. The seat body 5-1 is fixedly mounted on the side wall at the open side of the mounting slot I through bolts or screws for covering the opening of the mounting slot I of the wheel hub 0.

[0044] In addition, the center shaft 1 extends through the inner cavity of the cylinder column 5-2 and is mounted via the bearing 11. The center shaft 1 extends through the two sides of the mounting slot, so that the two ends of the center shaft 1 can be mounted on the corresponding fixing plate (such as the rear fork of the car frame). In particular, as shown in FIG. 5, a step structure L is arranged on the center shaft 1 corresponding to mounting positions of individual bearings, so that it can prevent the condition of the axial movement of the bearings and ensure the stability of stored energy transmission.

[0045] In this present application, the wheel hub 0, the transmission cover 3, the flywheel 4 and the flywheel seat 5 are all assembled coaxially with the center shaft 1, so as to ensure the coaxiality of the whole stored energy transmission mechanism and the stability of stored energy transmission.

[0046] The transmission principle of the stored energy transmission mechanism in this Embodiment is as follows.

[0047] The counterclockwise rotation of the wheel hub 0 drives counterclockwise rotation of the transmission cover 3, and further tightens the spring piece 2 to store energy. After storing energy, restoring of spring piece 2 after tightening can counterclockwise rotate the transmission cover 3 and further counterclockwise rotate the wheel hub 0, thereby realizing the stored energy transmission of the wheel hub 0.

[0048] As shown in FIG. 1, this Embodiment further provides a stored energy-driven wheel, which includes a wheel hub integrated with the stored energy transmission mechanism of this Embodiment and can realize self-driving after energy storage.

Embodiment 2

[0049] The stored energy transmission mechanism in this Embodiment is different from Embodiment 1 is that:

[0050] There are two flywheels and flywheel seats respectively.

[0051] Correspondingly, the wheel hub is provided with a mounting cylinder with openings at both ends, that is, the other side opposite to the slot opening is also designed as an opening on the basis of the mounting slot I of Embodiment 1, adapted to mount the flywheel and flywheel seat.

[0052] In addition, the transmission cover can also have no cover, the two flywheels are respectively mounted at both ends of the cover body of the transmission cover, and the two flywheel seats respectively cover the openings at both ends of the mounting cylinder of the wheel hub. That is, the flywheel and the mounting structure of flywheel seat on one side of the wheel hub in Embodiment 1 is mirrored to the other side of the wheel hub, thereby obtaining a double flying wheel structure. Reference can be made to the installation structure of the flywheel, the flywheel seat and the center shaft, the transmission cover and wheel hub in Embodiment 1 for specific installation details, which will not be repeated here. In this way, the double flying wheel design is adopted, which can further improve the stability of stored energy transmission.
