Electric vehicle central shaft torque sensing system

Abstract

An electric bicycle central shaft torque sensing system, comprising a central shaft, a strain sleeve, a pedalling force output portion, a torque sensor and a five-way piece, one end of the strain sleeve being fixed on the five-way piece via a bearing and connected to the pedalling force output portion, another end being sleeved on the central shaft and fixedly connected thereto, an inner surface of the strain sleeve fitting with an outer surface of the central shaft, an outer surface of the strain sleeve being adhered to the torque sensor, the torque sensor transmitting a signal to a controller via a signal transmitter, the controller controlling motor output. The present invention prevents the current widespread phenomenon of unbalanced left/right foot detection during measurement by a torque sensing system. Measured radial torque accurately reflects the pedalling force, and a sprocket is driven via the strain sleeve whether the left foot or the right foot is pedalling, thereby ensuring smooth riding and increasing riding comfort.
