Definitions
- the invention refers to an anti-gyro effect wheel that provides, to the function for which it is intended, advantages and characteristics, which are described in detail later, which imply an improvement in the current state of the art.
- the object of the invention focuses on a second wheel independent of a first main wheel of a vehicle, such as a car, a bicycle, with a smaller diameter that rotates around the axis of rotation of the first main wheel and through a manual or automatic drive mechanism, in particular a motor, the second wheel can be made to rotate in the opposite direction to the rotation of the first main wheel thus eliminating the gyroscopic effect of said first main wheel.
- a vehicle such as a car, a bicycle
- Eliminating the gyroscopic effect makes it possible, for example, to reduce the vehicle's braking distance, since it considerably improves the entry into a curve and, consequently, the braking distance is reduced.
- the field of application of the present invention falls within the sector of the industry dedicated to the manufacture of vehicles with two or more wheels, in particular cars, motorcycles and bicycles, focusing particularly on the manufacture of wheels for said vehicles
- the gyroscopic effect occurs because a spinning wheel tends to keep turning around its axis, meaning that, in bicycles or motorcycles, the vehicle remains straight and in balance as soon as it reaches a certain speed.
- the objective of the present invention is, therefore, to provide a means to reduce or eliminate said effect at certain times when it may be interesting for driving, for example to facilitate the entry into a curve.
- WO 2004026649 A1 a device similar to the object of the present invention is known.
- said document refers to an apparatus for improving the performance of a vehicle, such as a motorcycle, which includes a steering wheel that rotates in the opposite direction to the direction of rotation of a vehicle wheel associated with it.
- the flywheel produces a gyroscopic force that counteracts the gyroscopic force produced by the spinning wheel and so reduces or nullifies the gyroscopic force of the wheel, which can help make changes to the vehicle's lean and therefore cornering.
- the flywheel is a vehicle disc brake that is actuated by a set of planetary gears that do not allow precise control of the value of the anti-gyroscopic effect, which may be necessary. or interesting depending on the situation, this being the technical advantage provided by the object of the present invention.
- the anti-gyro effect wheel that the invention proposes allows the aforementioned objectives to be satisfactorily achieved, the characterizing details that make it possible and that conveniently distinguish it being collected in the final claims that accompany this description.
- a vehicle wheel such as a car, bicycle or motorcycle that incorporates a second wheel, in addition to the first main wheel, with a smaller diameter that rotates around the axis of the main wheel and through an automatic or manual drive mechanism, for example an electric motor, the second wheel can be made to rotate in the opposite direction to that of the movement of the first main wheel, regulating the gyroscopic effect of said first main wheel of regulated manner as appropriate.
- a vehicle wheel such as a car, bicycle or motorcycle that incorporates a second wheel, in addition to the first main wheel, with a smaller diameter that rotates around the axis of the main wheel and through an automatic or manual drive mechanism, for example an electric motor, the second wheel can be made to rotate in the opposite direction to that of the movement of the first main wheel, regulating the gyroscopic effect of said first main wheel of regulated manner as appropriate.
- the incorporation of said second wheel with a smaller diameter causes, when it is rotated in the opposite direction to the direction of travel of the first main wheel, that said first main wheel does not stand up even if it is rolling at a speed sufficient to stand up under normal conditions, because the gyroscopic effect has been eliminated, and when the second wheel is not rotated in the opposite direction to the first main wheel, said first main wheel remains upright conventionally, thanks to the gyroscopic effect.
- the gyroscopic effect of a wheel is very beneficial when a two-wheeled vehicle such as a motorcycle or bicycle travels in a straight line, but when entering a curve, this gyroscopic effect can become counterproductive since it has to be overcome by other forces. so that the wheels lean towards the ground to follow the path of the curve.
- the second wheel rotates around the axis of rotation of the first main wheel by means of, for example, an electric motor, which can be manually or automatically activated, which, also installed on the axis of the wheel, will start up, allowing regulation its drive and speed as appropriate to decide at what value to apply the anti-gyroscopic effect.
- an electric motor which can be manually or automatically activated, which, also installed on the axis of the wheel, will start up, allowing regulation its drive and speed as appropriate to decide at what value to apply the anti-gyroscopic effect.
- the second wheel when the vehicle begins to brake, the second wheel will begin to rotate in the opposite direction to the direction of the first wheel and as planned thanks to the motor. On the contrary, when driving in a straight line, the second main wheel can remain stationary or turn in the direction of travel of the first main wheel.
- the gyroscopic effect can be totally or partially reduced when entering the curve, thus also reducing the braking distance of that car, motorcycle or bicycle that incorporates it.
- the second wheel is incorporated laterally to the first main wheel.
- the mechanism of the electric motor that rotates the second wheel is preferably incorporated coupled to the axis of rotation, at one end thereof, between the first main wheel and the second wheel.
- two second wheels located laterally are incorporated, one on each side and at an equidistant distance from the first main wheel that rotate around the same axis of rotation by means of at least one drive control mechanism.
- the second wheel is incorporated internally to the main wheel.
- the second wheel forms part of the rim of the first main wheel, in such a way that when the anti-gyro effect wheel is activated, the external part of the rim fixed to the first main wheel rotates in one direction, and the internal part of the rim, which constitutes the second wheel, rotates in the opposite direction and in such a way that when the anti-gyro effect wheel is not actuated, the external part of the rim fixes to the first wheel and the internal part of the rim rotate in only one direction.
- a bearing in such a way that when the anti-gyro effect wheel is not actuated, that is, the turns the second wheel in the opposite direction the first main wheel, the outer part of the rim, fixed to the first wheel, and the inner part of the rim rotate in a single direction thanks to the friction between both parts of the rim and the bearing.
- the mechanism that moves the second wheel at an adjustable speed is an electric motor.
- Said electric motor is preferably incorporated into the rotation axis itself, so that the copper rotor and magnet stator surround said axis.
- a coupling element that allows or disables the independent rotation of the second wheel with respect to the first main wheel, such as a mechanical element or a magnetic element.
- the mechanism of the electric motor that controls the speed of the second wheel can be operated manually by the user of the vehicle.
- the mechanism of the electric motor that controls the speed of the second wheel can be actuated by a computer system based on technical conditions of the vehicle at any given time, such as the braking, leaning and speed of the vehicle.
- the computer system programmed for this will make the second wheel move at a speed such that it totally or partially counteracts the gyroscopic effect generated by the first main wheel.
- Figure number 1 shows an elevation view of a first example of the anti-gyroscopic effect wheel object of the invention, specifically an example with a single second lateral wheel, showing the main parts and elements that it comprises, in particular said second wheel. smaller diameter, having represented, by means of arrows, the opposite direction of rotation of said second wheel to that of the first main wheel;
