Description

本発明は、回転速度検出センサ及び回転速度検出センサを備えた電動補助自転車に関し、詳細には、異なる仕様の車輪にも少ない専用部品により容易確実に取り付けることができるようにした取付け構造の改善に関する。 The present invention relates to a rotational speed detection sensor and a battery-assisted bicycle equipped with a rotational speed detection sensor, and more particularly, to an improved mounting structure that can be easily and securely attached to wheels of different specifications with fewer dedicated parts. .

従来の電動補助自転車用回転速度検出センサは、磁石を1個だけスポークに取り付け、この磁石が車体側に取り付けたリードスイッチの近傍を通過することによってオン・オフする1パルス/回転のものが多い。このパルスによって得られた回転速度にタイヤ周長を掛けることにより車速情報が得られる。   Conventional rotational speed detection sensors for battery-assisted bicycles often have one pulse / rotation that is turned on / off by attaching only one magnet to the spoke and passing this magnet near the reed switch attached to the vehicle body. . Vehicle speed information is obtained by multiplying the rotational speed obtained by this pulse by the tire circumference.

近年では、電動補助自転車における補助力の大きさをよりきめ細かに制御することか求められており、分解能の高い回転速度検出センサからの車速情報が必要となる。この場合、より多くの機種においてきめ細かい制御を行うには、分解能の高い回転速度検出センサを既存車に後付けできることが望ましい(例えば特許文献1参照)。   In recent years, there has been a demand for finer control of the magnitude of the assisting force in a battery-assisted bicycle, and vehicle speed information from a rotational speed detection sensor with high resolution is required. In this case, in order to perform fine control in more models, it is desirable that a rotational speed detection sensor with high resolution can be retrofitted to an existing vehicle (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

既存車に回転速度検出センサを後付け可能とする場合、既存車には様々な仕様の車輪が採用されているため、車輪の仕様毎の回転速度検出センサが必要となり、コスト高となる問題がある。また前記特許文献に記載されたものでは、後付けのセンサの磁気発生部を如何にして車輪と同軸に取り付けるかも問題となる。   When a rotational speed detection sensor can be retrofitted to an existing vehicle, since the wheel of various specifications is adopted in the existing vehicle, a rotational speed detection sensor for each wheel specification is required, resulting in a problem of high cost. . Moreover, in what is described in the said patent document, it becomes a problem how to attach the magnetism generation part of a retrofit sensor coaxially with a wheel.

Since either one of the magnet holding part and the radial positioning part is fixed to the wheel by a fastening member, the other is sandwiched between the other and the wheel, so that the rotation speed detection sensor can be easily installed on the existing wheel. Can be reliably retrofitted. As a result, a rotational speed detection sensor having high resolution can be employed in many models, and fine control can be performed.

また前記ヘッドパイプ2aによりフロントフォーク3が左右に操向自在に枢支されている。このフロントフォーク3は、左,右のフォーク本体3a,3aと、これの上端に結合されたステアリングシャフト3bとを有し、該ステアリングシャフト3bがヘッドパイプ2aにより軸支されている。   Further, the front fork 3 is pivotally supported by the head pipe 2a so as to be steerable left and right. The front fork 3 includes left and right fork main bodies 3a and 3a and a steering shaft 3b coupled to the upper ends of the left and right fork main bodies 3a and 3a. The steering shaft 3b is pivotally supported by a head pipe 2a.

また前記シートチューブ2cの上端部にはサドル6が高さ位置調整可能に装着され、さらに前記左,右のチェーンステー2dの後端部には後輪7が車軸7aを介して回転自在に支持されている。   A saddle 6 is mounted on the upper end of the seat tube 2c so that the height of the seat tube 2c can be adjusted, and a rear wheel 7 is rotatably supported on the rear ends of the left and right chain stays 2d via an axle 7a. Has been.

前記ヘッドパイプ2aの前側には、バスケット8が配設され、該バスケット8はステアリングシャフト3bに固定されたステー8aと、前記車軸4aに固定された門形ステー8bにより支持されている。   A basket 8 is disposed on the front side of the head pipe 2a, and the basket 8 is supported by a stay 8a fixed to the steering shaft 3b and a portal stay 8b fixed to the axle 4a.

前記車体フレーム2のシートチューブ2cの下方には、ペダル11が配設されている。該ペダル11に加えられた運転者の踏力によりクランクアーム11aを介してクランク軸11bが回転し、該クランク軸11bの回転がチェーン9を介して後輪7に伝達される。   A pedal 11 is disposed below the seat tube 2 c of the vehicle body frame 2.

本実施例では、回転速度検出センサ25を既存の前輪4に後付け可能としている。この場合、ハブ嵌合部品は前輪4の仕様に応じたものを選択する必要があるが、磁石エンコーダ29は何れの仕様の前輪4にも共用できる
具体的には、スポーク36本仕様の前輪4の場合、図10〜図13に示す36本スポーク用で、スポーク本数に対応して9個の嵌合ボス部28bを有するハブ嵌合部品28を選択する。そして図2〜図5に示すように、前記前輪4をフロントフォーク3から外した状態で、前記ハブ嵌合部品28を、嵌合ボス部28bがハブフランジ部17cの外周に嵌合するように、かつ隣接するスポーク19のハブ側端部19a,19a間に位置するように車幅方向外側から装着し、軸方向ストッパ部28aをハブフランジ部17cの外側面に当接させる。
In this embodiment, the rotational speed detection sensor 25 can be retrofitted to the existing front wheel 4. In this case, it is necessary to select a hub fitting component according to the specification of the front wheel 4. However, the magnet encoder 29 can be shared by the front wheel 4 of any specification. Specifically, the front wheel 4 of 36 spokes specification is used. In this case, the hub fitting component 28 for nine spokes shown in FIGS. 10 to 13 and having nine fitting boss portions 28b corresponding to the number of spokes is selected. 2 to 5, with the front wheel 4 removed from the front fork 3, the hub fitting component 28 is fitted to the outer periphery of the hub flange portion 17c with the fitting boss portion 28b. And it mounts | wears from the vehicle width direction outer side so that it may be located between the hub side edge parts 19a and 19a of the adjacent spoke 19, and the axial direction stopper part 28a is contact | abutted on the outer surface of the hub flange part 17c.

The pressing surface 29d is brought into contact with the outer peripheral edge portion 28e.

そして前記締結部29bの貫通孔29eに結束タイ32の帯状部32aを挿通し、交差する2組のスポーク19,19と前記締結部29bとに前記帯状部32aを巻き付け、さらに該帯状部32aをヘッド部32bに挿通し、該帯状部32aを引っ張ることにより、前記締結部29bとスポーク19,19該結束タイ32で軽く結束する。このとき前記スポーク19は前記磁石保持部29aの裏面に形成された傾斜面29gに接することとなる。   Then, the belt-like portion 32a of the binding tie 32 is inserted into the through hole 29e of the fastening portion 29b, and the belt-like portion 32a is wound around the two sets of spokes 19, 19 and the fastening portion 29b, and the belt-like portion 32a is further wound. The fastening portion 29b and the spokes 19 and 19 are lightly bound by the binding tie 32 by being inserted into the head portion 32b and pulling the belt-like portion 32a. At this time, the spoke 19 comes into contact with the inclined surface 29g formed on the back surface of the magnet holding portion 29a.

続いて隣接する締結部29b′と交差する2組のスポーク19,19を結束タイ32′で軽く結束し、さらに残りの締結部29b′′と交差する2組のスポーク19,19を結束タイ32′′で軽く結束する。そして各結束タイを少しずつ締め付け、最後に各結束タイの余分な部分をカットする。また前記各結束タイのヘッド部32bを貫通孔29e内に押し込む。   Subsequently, the two sets of spokes 19, 19 intersecting with the adjacent fastening portions 29 b ′ are lightly bound with the binding tie 32 ′, and the two sets of spokes 19, 19 intersecting with the remaining fastening portions 29 b ″ are further bound with the binding tie 32. Bind lightly with ‘′’. Then, each binding tie is tightened little by little, and finally the excess portion of each binding tie is cut. Further, the head portion 32b of each binding tie is pushed into the through hole 29e.

これにより磁石エンコーダ29は結束タイ32によりスポーク19に締め付け固定され、ハブ嵌合部品28は磁石エンコーダ29と前輪4のスポーク19,及びハブフランジ部17cとにより挟持される。   Thereby, the magnet encoder 29 is fastened and fixed to the spoke 19 by the binding tie 32, and the hub fitting part 28 is sandwiched between the magnet encoder 29, the spoke 19 of the front wheel 4, and the hub flange portion 17c.

図14〜図18は、スポーク28本仕様の前輪に回転速度検出センサ25を取り付ける場合を示す。図15〜図18は、スポーク本数が28本の前輪に対応するハブ嵌合部品38を示す。このハブ嵌合部品38は、軸方向ストッパ部38aと、7個の嵌合ボス部38bと、逃げ部38cと、嵌合外周面38dと、外周縁部38eとを有する。前記嵌合ボス部38bは、対応する車輪のハブフランジ部の直径D′に嵌合するように配置されている。   FIGS. 14-18 shows the case where the rotational speed detection sensor 25 is attached to the front wheel of 28 spoke specifications. 15 to 18 show a hub fitting part 38 corresponding to a front wheel having 28 spokes. The hub fitting part 38 has an axial stopper portion 38a, seven fitting boss portions 38b, a relief portion 38c, a fitting outer peripheral surface 38d, and an outer peripheral edge portion 38e. The fitting boss portion 38b is arranged so as to be fitted to the diameter D ′ of the hub flange portion of the corresponding wheel.

スポーク28本仕様の前輪に回転速度検出センサ25を取り付ける場合は、図14に示すように、前記前輪をフロントフォーク3から外した状態で、前記ハブ嵌合部品38を、嵌合ボス部38bがハブフランジ部17c′の外周に嵌合するように、かつ隣接するスポーク19′,19′のハブ側端部19a′,19a′間に位置するように車幅方向外側から装着し、軸方向ストッパ部38aをハブフランジ部17c′の外側面に当接させる。   When the rotational speed detection sensor 25 is attached to the front wheel having 28 spokes, as shown in FIG. 14, with the front wheel removed from the front fork 3, the hub fitting part 38 is fitted with a fitting boss 38b. An axial stopper is mounted from the outside in the vehicle width direction so as to be fitted to the outer periphery of the hub flange portion 17c 'and positioned between the hub side end portions 19a' and 19a 'of the adjacent spokes 19' and 19 '. The portion 38a is brought into contact with the outer surface of the hub flange portion 17c ′.

続いて前記36本スポーク仕様の場合と同様に、磁石エンコーダ29を、車幅方向外側から、これの合いマークbが交差するスポーク19′,19′間に位置するように配置し、嵌合内周面29cをハブ嵌合部品38の嵌合外周面38dに嵌合させ、さらに押圧面29dを外周縁部38eに当接させる。   Subsequently, as in the case of the 36-spoke specification, the magnet encoder 29 is arranged from the outer side in the vehicle width direction so as to be positioned between the spokes 19 'and 19' intersecting with the mating mark b. The peripheral surface 29c is fitted to the fitting outer peripheral surface 38d of the hub fitting component 38, and the pressing surface 29d is brought into contact with the outer peripheral edge 38e.

そして結束タイ32を貫通孔29eに挿通し、締結部29bとスポーク19′,19′に巻き付け、結束タイ32を締め付けることにより磁石エンコーダ29をスポーク19′,19′に締結する。28本スポーク仕様の場合、交差するスポークの角度間隔の都合上、4本の結束タイ32を用いる。   The bundling tie 32 is inserted into the through hole 29e, wound around the fastening portion 29b and the spokes 19 'and 19', and the bundling tie 32 is tightened to fasten the magnet encoder 29 to the spokes 19 'and 19'. In the case of the 28-spoke specification, four bundling ties 32 are used because of the angular spacing of the intersecting spokes.

本実施例1では、ハブ嵌合部品28又は38を前輪4に車幅方向外側から装着し、磁石エンコーダ29をハブ嵌合部品28又38と同軸をなすように車幅方向外側から装着し、前記磁石エンコーダ29を前輪4に固定することにより、該磁石エンコーダ29とスポーク19,19′及びハブフランジ部17c,17c′とでハブ嵌合部品28又は38を挟持するようにしたので、既存の車輪に回転速度検出センサ25を容易確実に後付けすることができる。その結果、多くの機種において高い分解能を有する回転速度検出センサ25を採用でき、きめ細かい補助動力制御を行うことができる。   In the first embodiment, the hub fitting part 28 or 38 is attached to the front wheel 4 from the outside in the vehicle width direction, and the magnet encoder 29 is attached from the outside in the vehicle width direction so as to be coaxial with the hub fitting part 28 or 38. Since the magnet encoder 29 is fixed to the front wheel 4, the hub fitting component 28 or 38 is sandwiched between the magnet encoder 29, the spokes 19 and 19 ', and the hub flange portions 17c and 17c'. The rotational speed detection sensor 25 can be easily and reliably attached to the wheel. As a result, the rotational speed detection sensor 25 having high resolution can be employed in many models, and fine auxiliary power control can be performed.

また、磁気発生部26を、ハブ嵌合部品28又は38と磁石エンコーダ29とに分割したので、低コストで製造可能の前記ハブ嵌合部品28,38を車輪の仕様毎に設け、高コストとなる磁石エンコーダ29を仕様の異なる複数の車輪に共用することが可能となり、分解能の高い回転速度検出センサ25をコスト増加を抑制しつつ各種の仕様の車輪に後付けすることができる。   Further, since the magnetism generating part 26 is divided into the hub fitting part 28 or 38 and the magnet encoder 29, the hub fitting parts 28 and 38 that can be manufactured at low cost are provided for each wheel specification, and the high cost. The magnet encoder 29 can be shared by a plurality of wheels having different specifications, and the rotational speed detection sensor 25 having a high resolution can be retrofitted to wheels having various specifications while suppressing an increase in cost.

またハブ嵌合部品28,38の嵌合ボス部(突出片)28b,38bをハブフランジ部17c,17c′の外周面に嵌合させることにより径方向の位置決めを行い、前記磁石エンコーダ29を車輪のスポーク19,19′に締結することによりハブ嵌合部品28,38を前記スポーク19,19′とで挟持するように構成したので、簡単な構造によりハブ嵌合部品28,38の、径方向の位置決め及び車輪への固定を行うことができる。   Further, the fitting boss portions (projecting pieces) 28b and 38b of the hub fitting components 28 and 38 are fitted to the outer peripheral surfaces of the hub flange portions 17c and 17c 'to perform radial positioning, and the magnet encoder 29 is moved to the wheel. Since the hub fitting parts 28 and 38 are sandwiched between the spokes 19 and 19 'by being fastened to the spokes 19 and 19', the radial direction of the hub fitting parts 28 and 38 is simplified. Can be positioned and fixed to the wheel.

またハブ嵌合部品28,38は取り外されることなく常に磁石エンコーダ29を支持しているので、走行振動等により磁石エンコーダ29の芯がずれることはなく、分解能の高い回転速度検出精度を安定して維持できる。   Further, since the hub fitting parts 28 and 38 always support the magnet encoder 29 without being removed, the core of the magnet encoder 29 does not shift due to running vibration or the like, and the rotational speed detection accuracy with high resolution can be stabilized. Can be maintained.

また、ハブ嵌合部品28,38の嵌合ボス部28b,38bを、前記スポーク19,19′に係止させることにより回転方向の移動を阻止するようにしたので、簡単な構造により、ハブ嵌合部品28,38の回転方向の位置決めをも行うことができる。   In addition, since the fitting bosses 28b and 38b of the hub fitting parts 28 and 38 are locked to the spokes 19 and 19 ', the movement in the rotational direction is prevented. Positioning of the combined parts 28 and 38 in the rotational direction can also be performed.

さらにまた、磁石エンコーダ29、結束タイ32により前記車輪のスポーク19,19′に締結し、かつ該締結によりハブ嵌合部品28,38を前記スポーク19,19′とで挟持するようにしたので、仕様の異なる車輪に共通の磁石エンコーダ29締結する際の取り付け作業を容易に行うことができる。 Furthermore, since the magnet encoder 29 and the binding tie 32 are fastened to the spokes 19 and 19 'of the wheel, and the hub fitting parts 28 and 38 are sandwiched between the spokes 19 and 19' by the fastening. The attachment work at the time of fastening the common magnet encoder 29 to the wheels having different specifications can be easily performed.

また前記結束タイ32により磁石エンコーダ29を締結する際に、これの傾斜面29gがスポーク19に接しているので、前記締結荷重により磁石エンコーダ29が変形するのを防止でき、前記磁極30とホールIC27aとの隙間aが前記締結により変化する問題を回避できる。   Further, when the magnet encoder 29 is fastened by the binding tie 32, the inclined surface 29g is in contact with the spoke 19, so that the magnet encoder 29 can be prevented from being deformed by the fastening load, and the magnetic pole 30 and the Hall IC 27a can be prevented. Can be avoided.

なお、前記実施例1では結束タイにより磁石エンコーダをスポークに締結したが、本発明の締結部材は結束タイに限定されないのは勿論であり、例えばボルト,ナットを用いて締結しても勿論構わない。   In the first embodiment, the magnet encoder is fastened to the spoke by the binding tie. However, the fastening member of the present invention is not limited to the binding tie, and may be fastened using, for example, a bolt or a nut. .

また、前記実施例1では、磁石エンコーダをスポークに締結し、該磁石エンコーダと前輪のスポーク及びハブフランジ部とでハブ嵌合部品を挟持したが、前記とは逆に、ハブ嵌合部品を結束タイ等で車輪に固定し、該ハブ嵌合部品とスポークにより磁石エンコーダを挟持しても良い。   Further, in the first embodiment, the magnet encoder is fastened to the spoke, and the hub fitting part is sandwiched between the magnet encoder and the front wheel spoke and the hub flange portion. On the contrary, the hub fitting part is bundled. It may be fixed to the wheel with a tie or the like, and the magnet encoder may be sandwiched between the hub fitting part and the spoke.
