Abstract

The invention relates to a human-transport device enabling manually supplied energy to be stored and to control the supply thereof in order to adjust the traveling speed. The device consists of a lever (1) enabling the user to supply energy to the system. A chamber (6), the variable space of which controls compression springs (11), contains a liquid, the discharge rate of which is controlled by a valve (10). The expansion of the compression springs (11) causes the movement of a rack (8), which is transmitted to the wheel (16) of the vehicle by a gear system (14). The device of the invention is intended in particular for storing and resupplying energy for propelling a transport vehicle.

Description

CYÇI-AUTONOMEi  Cyci-AUTONOMEi

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de transport humain, ayant un stockage d'énergie non polluant, absolument gratuit et silencieux.  The present invention relates to a human transport device, having a non-polluting energy storage, absolutely free and silent.

Les moyens de transport sont traditionnellement polluants (moteurs à explosion) ou contiennent et fonctionnent avec des batteries à recharger à l'électricité domestique, ou peuvent aussi fonctionner à l'énergie solaire, comme certaines motocyclettes, certains scooters, ou encore des vélos électriques etc.  Means of transport are traditionally polluting (internal combustion engines) or contain and work with batteries to recharge with the domestic electricity, or can also work with the solar energy, like certain motorcycles, some scooters, or electric bicycles etc .

En réalité, nous sommes tributaires des énergies issues du pétrole, des céréales, des plantes, ou de l'électricité. Face à ce constat, demeure toutefois un moyen de transport à partir duquel, l'énergie produite découle de celle que nous fabriquons nous-mêmes par l'effort physique, tel le vélo.  In fact, we depend on energy from oil, grain, plants, or electricity. In the face of this, however, remains a means of transport from which the energy produced flows from the one we make ourselves by physical effort, such as cycling.

Cependant, grâce au dispositif de l'invention « le cyclautonome » décrite ci-dessous, il sera possible de remédier à tous ces inconvénients. Le cyclautonome permet d'emmagasiner l'énergie fournie par son utilisateur sous forme mécanique et d' en contrôler la restitution et la transmission à ses roues. L'utilisateur en actionnant un levier constitue une réserve de liquide sous pression, contrainte par l'action de ressorts de compression. Cette réserve d'huile constitue le stock d'énergie nécessaire à la propulsion du cyclautonome. En actionnant une vanne de contrôle du débit, l'utilisateur libère l'énergie. Les ressorts de compression se détendent en entraînant un système d'engrenage relié à la roue du cyclautonome qui avance. La démultiplication du nombre de ressorts et de vannes permet d'augmenter l'autonomie du véhicule (de 20 à 40 minutes) ; Poids approximatif de 35 Kg ; Poids pilote maxi 85 Kg ; Vitesse moyenne 20 Km/h.  However, thanks to the device of the invention "the cyclautonome" described below, it will be possible to overcome all these disadvantages. The cyclautonome makes it possible to store the energy supplied by its user in mechanical form and to control the restitution and the transmission to its wheels. The user operating a lever is a reserve of liquid under pressure, constrained by the action of compression springs. This reserve of oil constitutes the stock of energy necessary for the propulsion of the cyclautonome. By operating a flow control valve, the user releases the energy. The compression springs relax by driving a gear system connected to the wheel cyclautonome advance. Reducing the number of springs and valves increases the vehicle's range (from 20 to 40 minutes); Approximate weight of 35 Kg; Maximum pilot weight 85 Kg; Average speed 20 Km / h.

Le dessin annexé illustre l' invention :  The attached drawing illustrates the invention:

La figure 1 représente un schéma de principe du mécanisme. Figure 1 represents a schematic diagram of the mechanism.

En référence à ce dessin, le cyclautonome a un fonctionnement Lié aux opérations décrites ci-après. Lorsque la vanne (10) est fermée, l'utilisateur actionne par des mouvements de va et vient un levier (L) relié au bâti (17) par une liaison pivot (2) qui oblige la translation d'un piston (3). Ce piston (3) permet de mettre sous pression un liquide en la propulsant d'un réservoir (4) vers une chambre au voiume variable (6) . Le caractère unique du G ns de circulation du liquide du réservoir (4) vers la chambre (6) est assuré par des clapets (5). La variation du volume de la chambre (6) est possible possible grâce à la translation d'un second piston (7) précontraint par des ressorts de compression (11) . L'extension maximum du volume de la chambre (6) contrôlée par une butée (18) correspond à une compression maximum des ressorts (11) et donc à la charge maximale du mécanisme. Pour mettre en mouvement le cyclautonome, l'utilisateur agit sur la vanne de régulation (10) qui régule le débit d'huile entre la chambre (6) et le réservoir (4). Les ressorts de compression (11) se détendent et font translater le piston (7) qui entraine une crémaillère (8) reliée à une petite roue dentée (12)·. Cette roue (12) est solidaire d'une roue dentée de diamètre supérieur (13) qui entraine un engrenage (14) augmentant la vitesse de rotation. L'engrenage (14) entraîne une petite roue dentée (15) solidaire de la roue du cyclautonome (16) . Une roue libre (19) empêche la roue (16) d'entraîner l'engrenage (14). With reference to this drawing, the cyclautonome has an operation related to the operations described below. When the valve (10) is closed, the user actuates by reciprocating movements a lever (L) connected to the frame (17) by a pivot connection (2) which forces the translation of a piston (3). This piston (3) makes it possible to pressurize a liquid by propelling it from a reservoir (4) to a variable-volume chamber (6). The uniqueness of the flow of liquid from the tank (4) to the chamber (6) is ensured by valves (5). The variation of the volume of the chamber (6) is possible possible thanks to the translation of a second piston (7) prestressed by compression springs (11). The maximum extension of the volume of the chamber (6) controlled by a stop (18) corresponds to a maximum compression of the springs (11) and therefore to the maximum load of the mechanism. To set the cyclautonome in motion, the user acts on the control valve (10) which regulates the flow of oil between the chamber (6) and the reservoir (4). The compression springs (11) relax and translate the piston (7) which drives a rack (8) connected to a small gear wheel (12) ·. This wheel (12) is integral with a tooth wheel of greater diameter (13) which drives a gear (14) increasing the speed of rotation. The gear (14) drives a small toothed wheel (15) integral with the wheel of the cyclautonome (16). A freewheel (19) prevents the wheel (16) from driving the gear (14).
