Definitions

  • the invention is directed to a drive system for a human-powered machine generating a rotating movement comprising a first and second actuator mounted for a reciprocating motion.
  • Such drive systems are known and for example described in US-A-6000707.
  • This drive system generates a rotating movement to power a rear drive wheel of a two wheeled vehicle.
  • the drive system comprises of a first and second pedal mounted for linear reciprocating motion.
  • the pedals are mounted on a power transmitter cable, which cable forms a closed loop running from a pulley at the front of the vehicle via one of the pedals to a freewheel mounted on the axle of the drive wheel and via a pulley back to another freewheel mounted on the axle of the drive wheel and back to the pulley at the front via the other pedal.
  • GB-A-2279918 describes a treadle-cycle having a first and second tread pedal mounted in slotted tubes for linear reciprocating motion. Each pedal is connected to a cam by means of a cable.
  • the cams have a common shaft with an intermediate drive wheel.
  • the cams are provided with one way clutches or freewheels such that the alternative rotational directions of the cams are transferred to a single rotational direction of the common shaft and thus the intermediate drive wheel.
  • FR2728532 and US6155584 describe the same bicycle having pedals which move simultaneously back and forth along a rails. Thus the pedals are not mounted for a reciprocating motion with respect to each other.
  • the pedal actuators are connected by a cable to a pulley of an ovoidal shape which can rotate along a horizontal axis and is connected to a freewheel.
  • the pulleys are provided with a spring to bring the pulley to a starting position after each cycle.
  • a disadvantage of these known drive systems is that the efficiency is not significantly high enough to compete with the standard bicycle drive system having rotating pedals.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a drive system for a human- powered machine generating a rotating movement comprising a first and second actuator mounted for a reciprocating motion which has a high efficiency. This is achieved with the following drive system.
  • a drive system for a human-powered machine generating a rotating movement to one or more drive axles comprising a first actuator and a second actuator mounted for a reciprocating motion
  • the intermediate drive system comprises a first rotatable means over which the first power transmitter cable runs and a second rotatable means over which the second power transmitter cable runs such that first rotatable means and second rotatable means rotate in alternating directions along a common intermediate axle or along two different intermediate axles as a result of the reciprocating motion of the first and second actuator and wherein the intermediate drive system further comprises an intermediate power transmitter cable or cables running from the intermediate axle or axles to a first and second freewheel, each freewheel co-axial connected to the same or different drive axle such that the resulting movement in alternating directions of power cable or cables by rotation of the intermediate axle or axles is transferred in a predetermined rotational direction of the drive axle or drive axles.
  • the drive system can generate a rotational movement to a drive axle with a higher efficiency than the known systems. Further advantages will be discussed below when describing the preferred embodiments of the invention.
  • First rotatable means and second rotatable means rotate in alternating directions along a common intermediate axle or along two different intermediate axles.
  • first rotatable means and second rotatable means are non- rotatably connected to this common intermediate axle or to the two different intermediate axles.
  • the first and second rotatable means may be combined as one rotatable means or be separate means.
  • these means direct the first power transmitter cable and second power transmitter cable with a fixed or variable distance to the intermediate axle when the means are rotated upon actuation of the actuators. In this manner the reciprocating movement of the actuators is transferred to a rotational movement of the intermediate axle or axles.
  • the first and second rotatable means are suitably disks having a certain thickness such that the power transmitter cable can run along its periphery.
  • the disk may have the design of a circle wherein an intermediate axle is positioned in the centre. This will result in that the distance and thus the leverage between cable and intermediate axle is constant upon actuation of the pedals.
  • the distance as determined by the design of the first and/or second disk between their respective first or second cable and the intermediate axle of the intermediate drive system varies with the position of the respective first or second actuator such that the smallest distance as determined by the design of the disk is when the actuator is in an intermediate position and the greatest distance as determined by the design of the disk is when the actuator is at or near one or both of its extreme positions.
  • the disk can be made of light weight metals, like for example aluminium, or polymers, like engineering plastics based on polyamides.
  • the disk may be provided with openings to reduce weight.
  • the polymers may optionally be fibre reinforced polymers.
  • Suitably one end of the first cable is fixed to the first disk and one end of the second cable is fixed to the second disk.
  • First and second disk are suitably positioned adjacent with respect to the other disk when they have a common axle.
  • the first and second cable may also be connected wherein the cable is fixed to said first and second disk.
  • This common cable may make a full rotation around the common axle to create sufficient friction to let the common cam interlock with the cable. Interlocking with the cable can also be achieved by mechanical interlocking, such as when the cable is a chain or belt having for example V-shaped gear teeth.
  • the cable may thus be any flexible elongated power transmitter, such as a cable, chain or belt and is not limited to the literal meaning of the word cable.
  • a preferred cable is made of stretched steel or synthetic material which does not allow much creep. Examples of such materials are fibres made from Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene, such as the Dyneema® Fiber.
  • the first rotatable means and second rotatable means may rotate around different intermediate axles.
  • each of the two different intermediate axles will rotate alternatingly in different directions.
  • This rotation and the moment when the direction changes due to the reciprocating motion of the actuators does not necessarily have to be the same.
  • Preferably this moment is the same.
  • Both intermediate axles will be provided with an intermediate drive wheel.
  • a separate intermediate power transmitter cable runs to a separate freewheel.
  • Each freewheel is co-axial connected to the same single drive axle or to separate drive axles.
  • This embodiment thus enables one to power at least two drive axles separately, enabling for example a vehicle with at least two wheels which are powered separately by the drive system according to the invention.
  • a two wheeled vehicle may suitable comprise one drive axle connected to the front wheel and the other drive axle connected to the rear wheel.
  • first and second rotatable means have a common intermediate axle. This simplifies the design and results in a higher efficiency than when two separate intermediate axles are used.
  • first and second freewheel are co-axial connected to the same drive axle to even further increase efficiency.
  • the intermediate power transmitter cable runs from a third intermediate drive wheel, first freewheel, a pulley, second freewheel and back to the third intermediate drive wheel. In this configuration the third intermediate drive wheel and the intermediate power transmitter cable will alternatingly move in one and the opposite direction.
  • one of the freewheels will engage with the drive axle to generate rotational movement to said drive axle in a predetermined direction and for the opposite direction of the intermediate power transmitter cable the other freewheel will engage with the drive axle to generate rotational movement to said drive axle in the same predetermined direction.
  • a third intermediate drive wheel is advantageous because it enables gearing between the rotational movement of the intermediate axle of the intermediate drive system and the rotational movement of the drive axle by altering the radius of the third intermediate drive wheel. Alteration may be achieved by simply substituting the third intermediate drive wheel with an intermediate drive wheel having a different radius or by using different intermediate drive wheels having a different radius and wherein the intermediate power transmitter cable can be moved from one wheel to another. More preferably a single third intermediate drive wheel is used of which its radius can be, suitably seamlessly, altered by the user of the drive system.
  • the first actuator and second actuator may be any means operable by a human user which result in a rotating of the first and second means via the first and second power transmitter cable by a reciprocating motion.
  • Examples are pedals operable by the legs of a user and/or are handles operable by the arms of the user.

  • the first actuator is a pedal and the second actuator is a handle for use, for example, by users who are disabled to use both legs.
  • the actuators are pedals and more preferably the drive system comprises one set of first and second pedals and their corresponding first and second power transmitter cable and first and second rotatable means.
  • the actuators are mounted for a reciprocating motion. This means that the first actuator is mounted for a reciprocating motion relative to the second actuator. Such a motion will in turn generate the required rotation of the rotatable means.
  • the movements of the actuators will be in parallel pathways. The pathways may be along a straight line and/or slightly arcuate line.
  • the first actuator and second actuator are first and second pedals mounted for a reciprocating motion. A slightly arcuate pathway may result in a movement of the leg of the user which is more close to natural walking or running.
  • the actuators can move to their starting position in the opposite direction by using for example springs or by actuation by the user.
  • the drive system will be provided with a linkage between said actuators such that upon motion of one actuator in one direction the other actuator moves in the opposite direction, and vice versa. This may be achieved in many different manners, as for example described in the prior art.
