Abstract
A hand crank generator includes a crank, a gear transmission, and a generation motor driven by the gear transmission. The crank and the gear transmission are coupled to each other. A clutch gear is coupled between the crank and the gear transmission. The crank is manually driven to further drive the gear transmission, and the generation motor is driven to generate electric current through the clutch gear. When the cranking stops, the clutch gear disengages from a motor gear disposed on the generation motor. A weighted wheel continues to revolve under inertia for a while to drive the generation motor to keep on generating electric current, so that the purpose of saving manual efforts can be achieved.

A hand crank generator comprising a crank, a gear transmission, and a generation motor driven by the gear transmission;
- wherein the crank is coupled to the gear transmission and both of the gear transmission and the generation motor are coupled to each other with a clutch gear, and
- wherein the clutch gear engages with the last gear of the gear transmission, and to keep track of a deflection angle of the clutch gear, both ends of a deflection shaft of said clutch gear are disposed in a deflection groove, and a plate is used to connect both shafts of the clutch gear and the last gear of the gear transmission.
A hand crank generator comprising a crank, a gear transmission, and a generation motor driven by the gear transmission;
- wherein the crank is coupled to the gear transmission and both of the gear transmission and the generation motor are coupled to each other with a clutch gear, and
- wherein the gear transmission comprises a first transmission gear, a second double gear, a third double gear, and a fourth double gear, both of the first transmission gear and the third double gear are connected to a shaft, both of the second and the fourth double gears are connected to a second shaft, the first transmission gear is fixed to the crank, the first transmission gear engages with a pinion in the second double gear, a gearwheel of the second double gear engages with a pinion in the third double gear, a gearwheel of the third double gear engages with a pinion in the fourth double gear, and a gearwheel of the fourth double gear engages with the clutch gear.
