Central shaft torque sensing for electric bicycle having centre-mounted motor

Abstract

A central shaft torque sensing system for an electric bicycle having a center-mounted motor. The system comprises a central shaft, a center-mounted motor and a controller, and also comprises a torque sensor and a strain sleeve. The controller is respectively connected to the torque sensor and the center-mounted motor, and the motor comprises a main housing, a coil stator, a rotor, a motor output gear shaft, a planetary reduction mechanism and a dual-ratchet clutch, one end of the strain sleeve being connected to the dual-ratchet clutch, the other end being sleeved on the central shaft and fixedly connected thereto, the torque sensor being mounted on the sleeve. The motor output gear shaft is sleeved on the central shaft and forms an integrated structure with the rotor of the motor, the coil stator is fixed on the main housing, the rotor is wrapped on the outside of the coil stator and fixedly connected to the motor output gear shaft, the planetary reduction mechanism is arranged within the main housing, and the gear shaft engages with the planetary reduction mechanism via a gear. The present motor driving system provides corresponding assistance according to the specific requirements of a rider.
