Patent attributes
A rear derailleur of a bicycle includes a fixing portion connected to a frame of the bicycle, a linkage assembly pivotally connected between the fixing portion and the moving portion, a moving portion pivotally connected to the linkage assembly, a chain guide assembly connected to the moving portion, and a driving assembly including a clutch assembly, a motor, and a driving gear assembly connected to the clutch assembly. The clutch assembly is disposed between the fixing portion and the linkage assembly and includes a first clutch member and a second clutch member. When a relative rotational torque between the first clutch member and the second clutch member is greater than a predetermined resistance, the first clutch teeth and the second clutch teeth shift relatively. Thereby, the driving gear assembly or the output shaft of the motor could be prevented from damaging.
