  • Publication number: 20240388161
    Abstract: A hub motor suitable for installation on bicycles and includes an axle, a stator, a rotor, a casing, a sealing ring, and a compression ring. The axle is fixed to a frame of the bicycle. The stator is fixed to the axle. The rotor is rotatably sleeved on the axle and pivots around the stator with the axle as an axis. The casing is rotatably sleeved on the axle and pivots around the rotor with the axle as an axis. The casing forms an accommodating space, an opening, and a first through-hole. The opening is closed by a side cover. The accommodating space accommodates the stator and the rotor through the opening. The side cover has a second through-hole. A convex ring is formed around the second through-hole. The sealing ring covers the convex ring and has an outer ring part, an inner ring part, and a connecting part.

  • Publication number: 20240383567
    Abstract: A hub motor includes an axle, a stator, a rotor, a planetary gear set, a casing, and a sleeve. The axle is fixed to a frame of the bicycle and has a first end and a second end. The stator is fixed to the axle. The rotor is rotatably sleeved on the axle and rotates around the stator. The planetary gear set has a ring gear. The casing is rotatably sleeved on the axle, connected to the rotor through the planetary gear set, and driven by the rotor, and rotates around the rotor and the axle. The casing has an accommodating space, an axle hole, and an opening. The accommodating space accommodates the stator and the rotor and is communicated with the opening. The axle is arranged to pass through the accommodating space, the axle hole, and the opening along an axial direction of a rotating axis.

  • Patent number: 11827054
    Abstract: A bicycle hub includes an axle, a main body, a freehub body, and a clutch, which are engaged with the axle. The freehub body is disposed with first splines, wherein each of the first splines is defined to have a longitudinal direction. Each of the longitudinal directions obliquely intersects with an axial direction of the freehub body. The clutch is disposed with second splines, wherein the second splines are engaged with the first splines in a way that the second splines are movable along a longitudinal direction of the first splines. With such design, the clutch of the bicycle hub could be smoothly operated.

  • Patent number: 11673425
    Abstract: A bicycle hub includes an axle, a main body, a freehub body, and a clutch, which are engaged with the axle, wherein the clutch includes a first ratchet and a second ratchet. The first ratchet and the second ratchet are respectively engaged with the main body and the freehub body. The first ratchet has a first engaging surface, and the second ratchet has a second engaging surface facing the first engaging surface. The bicycle hub is characterized in that a minimum of number of first ratchet teeth on the first engaging surface is seventy-two, and a number of the second ratchet teeth on the second engaging surface is lesser than the number of first ratchet teeth. With such design, when the first ratchet is meshed with the second ratchet, the freehub body could stably drive the main body, and a total weight of the bicycle hub could be decreased.

  • Patent number: 11529827
    Abstract: A transmission assembly installed on a freehub body of a bicycle is provided. The freehub body rotates about a rotation axis and is provided with a torque transmission portion on a radial outer side. The transmission assembly includes a first adapter having a main body portion connected to the torque transmission portion, a second adapter having a second connecting portion and a pressing portion connected to the second connecting portion, and a friction member. The main body portion is sleeved on the freehub body and includes a first connecting portion having a first thread portion. The second connecting portion has a second thread portion adapted to be screwed to the first thread portion of the first connecting portion. The friction member is disposed in an accommodation space formed by the pressing portion, the radial outer side of the freehub body and one side of the first connecting portion.
