    摘要: A bicycle power meter includes a strain gauge, a signal processing unit, a processor, and a signal transmitter. The strain gauge is disposed on at least one of an outer peripheral wall and an inner peripheral wall of a stem of a bicycle. The signal processing unit connected to the strain gauge by signal correspondingly outputs an electrical signal based on a deformation of the stem detected by the strain gauge. The processor connected to the signal processing unit by signal receives the electrical signal sent by the signal processing unit and calculates a measuring value based on the electrical signal and sends the measuring value in an output signal. The signal transmitter connected to the processor by signal receives the output signal sent by the processor and converts the output signal to a wired or wireless signal and sends the wired or wireless signal to a terminal device.

    摘要: The present invention provides a more accurate device and method for measuring automobile horsepower, specifically the internal combustion engine, ICE horsepower at the crankshaft, or the electric motor(s') horsepower, or the combined ICE and electric motor(s') horsepower. It applies to automobiles that do not incorporate, or can disengage, regenerative braking, RGB. The proposed device and method measures horsepower in real road test conditions, through the utilization of an accelerometer that performs measurements of the automobile velocity, acceleration and deceleration, whereas the method provided may be also applied to chassis dynamometers, resulting into a more accurate horsepower measurement by such dynamometers.

    摘要: The present application relates to a method for determining an efficiency and/or for calibrating a torque of a drivetrain (1), in particular a drivetrain (1) of a wind turbine. The method for determining an efficiency and/or for calibrating a torque of a drivetrain (1), in particular of a drivetrain of a wind turbine, is particularly suited for carrying out on a test rig and comprises two tests. The drivetrain has a motor-side end at a main shaft connectable to a motor and a generator-side end, between which ends a generator is arranged. In a first test, the motor-side end of the drivetrain (1) is driven. A variable dependent on the main shaft torque is thereby determined at the motor-side end of the drivetrain (1) and an electrical power Pelec is determined at the generator-side end of the drivetrain (1). In a second test, the generator-side end of the drivetrain (1) is driven and the variable dependent on the main shaft torque is likewise determined at the motor-side end and the electrical power Pelec is determined at the generator-side end. An efficiency and/or calibration parameters is/are determined from the electrical power values and the variables dependent on the main shaft torque determined in the first test and in the second test.

    摘要: Power transmitted from a cyclist to a bicycle through crank arms is indirectly measured by performing calculations on direct physical measurements. The direct physical measurements are taken from sensors that can be non-rotationally coupled to the frame of the bicycle. The sensors can be integrated into the frame or installed as a module within a standard, unmodified bicycle bottom bracket. Measured power can be viewed by the cyclist using a wirelessly connected user interface device.

    摘要: A power measurement assembly mounted within an axle. In a specific example, the axle is a spindle that is interconnects the cranks of a bicycle, exercise, bicycle, or other fitness equipment. The power measurement assembly may include strain gauges connected with an appropriate circuit (e.g., Wheatstone bridge) that provides an output of the force on the axle by a rider pedaling the crank. In the case of an axle, the strain gauges measure the torsion due to the applied torque on the crank. The value is converted to a power value by a processor and that value is then wirelessly transmitted for display. The processor and/or the transmitter may be mounted within the axle. A separate power measurement assembly may be mounted on one of the cranks, which may include its own processor and transmitter or may take advantage of the processor and transmitter within the axle.

    摘要: An information output device that can output the position of a load applied to the pedal is provided. A strain gauge is provided on the inner face of a crank of a bicycle and detects strain occurring in the crank. A cycle computer display unit displays an image showing the center position of the load applied to the pedal connected to the crank based on the tangential force and the torsional torque calculated based on the output values of the first strain gauge to the sixth strain gauge.

    摘要: Provided is a dynamometer-system dynamo control device that can appropriately suppress the occurrence of resonance phenomena and can realize a no-load state, even in a case where an engine the inertia of which is unknown is connected. The dynamometer system comprises a dynamometer and a shaft torque meter. A dynamo control device 6 in the dynamometer system generates a torque current command signal on the basis of a torque detection signal and a torque command signal. The dynamo control device 6 comprises: a gain calculation unit 62 that multiplies the difference between the torque command signal and the torque detection signal by gain wATR and then by Ki; an integration operation unit 63 that integrates the output signal of the gain calculation unit 62; a high-pass filter 64 characterized by a response frequency wHPF; and a torque current command signal generation unit 65 that generates a torque current command signal by superimposing, onto the output signal of the integration operation unit 63, an output signal obtained by inputting the torque detection signal to the high-pass filter 64.
