The specific embodiment
With reference to Fig. 1-3, Reference numeral 10 indicates the expanded plastic material core of the prefoam that obtains by foaming in mould, for example poly-urethane or similar material core.This core 10 has elongated shape and the both ends 12,14 that link to each other with Connection Element 16,18 is respectively arranged; Described Connection Element is provided with the groove 20,22 of the end 12,14 that holds core 10, and this core is set up a kind of in conjunction with shape with them then.
Reference numeral 24 and 26 indicates two kinds of metal inserts, is for example made by aluminum alloy or fiber reinforced plastics material, and this insert has end 28,30 in the corresponding grooves 32,34 of the Connection Element of being inserted into 16,18 so that set up a kind of in conjunction with shape together.This insert 24,26 preferably includes crash-resistant metal parts.This insert has the hole (not shown) that is respectively applied for arrangement pedal spindle and datum axle.
Fig. 3 illustrates by the core 10 that is in installing condition, the structure that Connection Element 16,18 and metal insert 24,26 form.This core 10 does not have Structural Characteristics, promptly can not transmission power or torque between insert 24,26.This core 10 keeps bonded assembly insert 24,26 to limit the position and forming a stayed surface during the laminating molding stage that Fig. 5 letter is shown to provide suitable contrast ratio during molded pre-.Term " laminating molding " refer to here on the structure that forms by insert 24,26 and core 10 with 36 and thin slice 38 stack the operation of stratification.This operation is used for guiding this reinforcing fiber to give this crank needed architectural feature in only mode.
Structure shown in Fig. 3 be wrapped in by be combined in high drag structural in the plastic material masterbatch fibroplastic be with 36 and thin slice 38 in.This band and thin slice 36,38 are preferably made by the fabric that is combined in the charcoal fiber in the thermosetting resin.This structural fibers can be selected in charcoal fiber, glass fibre, aromatic fiber, boron fiber, ceramic-fibre or any their bond.Behind laminating molding, this crank is molded and is heated under the polymerization temperature more than or equal to thermosetting resin simultaneously.This molded operating in the mould is implemented (not shown) down with pressure.During molded, core is different with this insert institute applied pressure.This pressure makes plastic material masterbatch fabric tight.
After molded, this plastic material masterbatch sclerosis.The crank that takes out from mould such as Fig. 6 letter show to have the uniform charcoal fiber shell 40 that has sealed core 10 and insert 24,26.This shell 40 has the Structural Characteristics of high drag and can transmit the suffered stress of crank during use from an insert to another insert.
The above-mentioned method about left crank is applicable to similarly produces right crank shown in Figure 4.In this case, this insert 26 that is used to connect base is equipped with the metal spokes 42 of a cover one.In the embodiment shown in fig. 4, this insert 26 has four spokes 42, and this spoke end 44 is formed for the end of fastening pair of sprocket (not shown).One the 5th fastening end is obtained by the 3rd metal insert 46 in the groove 48 that is placed in core 10.This crank shown in Fig. 4 is similar in mould and is subjected to laminating molding and poly-merization above-mentionedly.
In left crank and two kinds of situations of right crank, behind the poly-merization, it is formed for connecting the tapped bore 50 and the polygonal hole 52 that is used to be connected datum axle of pedal spindle to this insert by machinework in mould.
As has been said, this core 10 does not have any structure drag substantially, and the part with Structural Characteristics that crank is unique is a shell 40, it have high drag and can be between the crank used life in insert 24 and 26 transmission power and torque.
Therefore core 10 can be made by any plastic material that offers structural fibers shape and support, for example the foamed plastic of any kind, wax or resin etc.
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, this core 10 is in the 40 molded and sclerosis back taking-ups of structural fibers shell.This core can be formed by granulated material, for example the sand that mixes with adhesive resin.This granulated material can take out from crank by the hole in the structural fibers shell 40 in these shell 40 sclerosis backs, therefore forms a single structure element, and this element is only formed by the shell 40 and the metal insert 24 and 26 of structural fibers.
The second embodiment of the present invention is shown in Fig. 8-12, wherein with same Reference numeral indication element as hereinbefore.This insert 24,26 is provided with connecting bridge 60,62 in this second embodiment, and they are inserted into the shape of also setting up in core 10 respective end portions 12,14 with core 10 that combines.
This core 10 is preferably formed by the tube element of the plastics with limited structure reactance, metal or fiber reinforced materials.This insert 24,26 can be made by metallic material, aluminum alloy for example, and perhaps the fiber reinforced plastics material is made.This insert has the hole that is respectively applied for placement pedal spindle and datum axle (not shown).
As Figure 11 letter show, the structure that comprises core 10 and insert 24,26 be wrapped in by be inserted into that high drag structural fibers in the plastic material masterbatch forms be with 36 and thin slice 38 in.This band and thin slice 36,38 are preferably made by the charcoal fabric that is inserted in the thermosetting resin.This structural fibers can be at charcoal fiber, glass fibre, aromatic fiber, boron fiber, selects in ceramic-fibre or any their bond.
This core 10 keeps these bonded assembly inserts 24,26 in the desired location and the stayed surface during forming laminating molding.Term " laminating molding " and the identical implication of the disclosed first embodiment of the present invention in front.
The above-mentioned production process about left crank is used to produce right crank similarly, as shown in figure 10.In this situation, the insert 26 that is used to connect base is equipped with a cover single-piece metal spokes 42, as Fig. 4 is disclosed.Insert 26 has a connecting bridge 62 that combines shape with core 10 foundation.
In left crank and two kinds of situations of right crank, after in mould, carrying out poly-merization, this insert is carried out the tapped bore 50 and the square hole 52 that is used to be connected datum axle that machinework is formed for connecting pedal spindle.
Such as has been said, the main purpose of elongated core 10 is to provide a shape and stayed surface for structural fibers.Therefore this core 10 does not have any structure drag substantially, perhaps has limited structure reactance.
Use the limited structure reactance of term, be meant that this shell 40 offers the most structure reactance of this crank, this shell 40 has high drag and can transmit most power and torque between the crank used life between insert 26 and 24.
Furtherly, crank is formed by the single structure unit in first embodiment of the invention, and the shell that this unit includes only a structural fibers is arranged on the insert of outer casing end with at least one pair of.In fact these are the unique structural constituents of this crank, promptly this element can crank is normal use in transfer charge.
Nature can be implemented many changes for the form and the structure of embodiments of the invention disclosed herein, and as following claim was defined, all changes were included in the context of characterization notion of the present invention.
