Flexible and rigid bi-status coupler and application device

A flexible and rigid bi-status coupler and its application device wherein, the bi-status coupler is comprised of a generation effect coupler provided with flexible coupling function incorporated with a one-way transmission including:

• an input side (401):
• containing a rotary kinetic energy transmission structure to be coupled to one side of a one-way transmission (404) and also coupled to the active rotary part (4031) of a generation effect coupler;
• an output side (402):
• containing a rotary kinetic energy transmission structure to be coupled to the passive rotary part (4032) of the generation effect coupler, and then couple to the other side of the one-way transmission (404);
• the generation effect coupler (403):
• comprised of the active rotary part (4031) of the generation effect coupler related to a magnetic field comprised of a permanent magnet or a winding excited by current;
• and an armature engaging in relative rotation serves as the passive rotary part (4032) of the generation effect coupler;
• the active rotary part (4031) of the generation effect coupler is coupled to the input side (401) and the passive rotary part (4032) of the generation effect coupler is coupled to the output side (402), both control the generation power of the generation effect coupler (403) transmitted to a load (406) by means of a generation load controller (405);
• consequently, when the active rotary part (4031) of the generation effect coupler is rotating as driven by the input side (401), a relative revolution difference is created that varies depending on the changed load to execute flexible transmission of non-rigid transmission to drive the passive rotary part (4032) of the generation effect coupler to drive the output side (402);
• the coupling relation respectively between the active rotary part (4031) of the generation effect coupler and the input side (401) as well as between the passive rotary part (4032) of the generation effect coupler and the output side (402) is configured to be exchanged such that the active rotary part (4031) of the generation effect coupler is coupled to the output side (402), and the passive rotary part (4032) of the generation effect coupler is coupled to the input side (401);
• the one-way transmission (404):
• comprised of a conventional one-way clutch, or a transmission that engages in one-way rotary transmission and idling in the other way, having its one end coupled to the input side (401) and the other side, to the passive rotary part (4032) of the generation effect coupler;
• and
• the generation load controller (405):
• comprised of a dynamo-electric or solid-state electronic circuit to control the generation power of the generation effect coupler (403);
• a load (406):
• related to a resistance or other external load to serve as the generation load for the generation effect coupler (403).
