  • Publication number: 20230174185
    Abstract: A power-measuring device includes a spindle, a power gauge, an electrical circuit, and a cover. The spindle is configured to provide a coupling with a driving unit. The spindle includes a battery chamber within a hollow space of the spindle. The battery chamber is configured to receive a battery unit. The power gauge is coupled with the spindle to measure power applied to the spindle for driving a movement of the driving unit. The electrical circuit is coupled with the spindle, and electrically coupled with the power gauge. The electrical circuit is coupled with the battery unit and configured to receive and process signals from the power gauge. The cover is coupled with the spindle and arranged to enclose at least a portion of at least one of the power gauge and the electrical circuit.

  • Publication number: 20230019925
    Abstract: A self-powered apparatus is used for various kinds of cycling and indoor exercise devices. The self-powered apparatus includes a pedal unit, a spindle, a generator and an energy storage element. The pedal unit includes an inner surface to form an accommodating space therein. The spindle is accommodated in the accommodating space. The generator includes a stator and a rotor. The stator is disposed on the spindle, the rotor is disposed on the inner surface of the pedal unit, and the rotor surrounds the stator correspondingly and is non-contact with the stator. The energy storage element is electrically coupled to the generator. When the pedal unit is being pedaled to rotate by a rider, the stator is fixed on the spindle, the rotor rotates relatively to the stator and along with the pedal unit, and a power is generated by the generator to charge the energy storage element.

  • Patent number: 7779970
    Abstract: A brake assembly for braking a wheel of a bicycle includes left and right brake arms and left and right brake shoes. Each brake shoe includes a holder mounted to the respective brake arm, a pad unit mounted on the holder and having a friction surface that is brought to frictionally engage a rim side of a wheel rim of the wheel, and a magnetically attracting unit mounted on the holder for establishing a magnetic field such that, in the course of a braking action, the strength of the established magnetic field is gradually increased to be of a magnitude sufficient to generate a dragging force to decelerate the running speed of the wheel rim until the friction surface frictionally engages the rim side.
