  • Patent number: 11952080
    Abstract: A bicycle derailleur system is applied to a bicycle and includes a controller, a camera, a derailleur assembly, and the memory device that are electrically connected to the controller. The camera records a real-time video of a road ahead. When the derailleur assembly is operated to shift, the derailleur assembly sends a chain shifting signal to drive the controller to process the video captured by the camera to obtain a section of video between a predetermined time before and after the chain shifting signal. The controller stores the section of the video along with information in the chain shifting signal to the memory device, to establish a basis for image similarity comparison. When the bicycle derailleur system is operated automatically, the image similarity comparison between real-time video recorded by the camera and the sections of the videos stored in the memory device is conducted to determine whether to shift.

  • Publication number: 20240034427
    Abstract: An automatic control system includes a host connected to the actuator and the inputting device of a bicycle. The actuator controls the motor to drive the mechanical structure to generate a displacement. The inputting device receives the external information by manually entering or automatically sensing via the inputting device to obtain an inputting parameter. In each riding journey of the predetermined path, the host records the inputting parameter that the controller of the actuator drives the motor based on and the time spent for the riding journey to form a riding information. When the rider rides the bicycle on the predetermined path again, the host selects one of the riding information, which has the shortest time spent for the riding journey, as an operating parameter for controlling the actuator, so that the host automatically controls the actuator based on the operating parameter to prevent the cyclist from distracting.

  • Publication number: 20240027995
    Abstract: A process for manufacturing a customized bicycle handle grip includes obtaining a hand shape database including a hand shape information of users. The hand shape information of each user includes a dimensional parameter including a measured value. The measured values in the hand shape database are divided into dimensional intervals, wherein a handle grip forming parameter is designed for each dimensional interval. After that, a hand shape information of a client is obtained to be compared with the hand shape information in the hand shape database to be classified into one of the dimensional intervals. The handle grip forming parameter of the one of the dimensional intervals is obtained for generating a 3D-computer-graphics of the customized bicycle handle grip based on the handle grip forming parameter. Then, define the hand shape information of the client as a restricting region and optimize the 3D-computer-graphics to obtain an optimized 3D-computer-graphics for 3D printing.

  • Patent number: 11679829
    Abstract: An adjusting structure for seat post of bicycle includes an external tube. A gas lift is disposed in and engaged with the external tube. An actuator rod protrudes away from a main body of the gas lift. An internal tube is movably disposed in the external tube, and the actuator rod is engaged with an end of the internal tube. A diameter of the internal tube is greater than a diameter of the main body, so that the internal tube could be moved relative to the main body in an axial direction. A restricting structure is mounted between the main body and the internal tube and is adapted to restrict the internal tube from rotating relative to the gas lift and the external tube. Since the restricting structure is not in contact with the external tube, friction provided by the restricting structure could not deform the external tube.
