里程表工作原理（Odometer working principle） 里程表工作原理(Odometer working principle) Mechanical odometer has been counting miles for miles for centuries. Although they are about to be eliminated, I believe you will still marvel at their magical construction. A mechanical odometer is essentially a gear drive chain with an accurate drive ratio. In the figure above, the gear ratio of the odometer is 1690:1. This means that the odometers input shaft needs to be turned around 1690 times to make it record 1 kilometers. The odometer is gradually being replaced by the electronic odometer, which offers more functionality and lower prices, but lacks the magical charm of mechanical odometer. In this article, well take you to the inside of the mechanical odometer and talk about the working principle of the electronic odometer. Mechanical odometer Mechanical odometer is driven by a flexible cable made of a tight spring. The cable is wound around the metal protecting tube and is covered with a rubber sleeve. On the bicycle, the wheel that rotates relative to the wheel of the bicycle turns the cable, and the number of teeth of the odometer is calibrated more than the size of the wheel. In the car, the gears are responsible for joining the output shaft of the transmission and then turning the cable. The flexible cable winds up to the dashboard where it connects to the odometers input shaft. Transmission The odometer uses a set of (three) worm gears to achieve the gear ratio of the odometer 1690:1. The input shaft drives the first worm and the other gear is driven by the worm. Each turn of the worm will only rotate the tooth of the gear. The gear continues to drive another worm, which drives the next gear, which drives the last worm, and then drives the final gear. The final gear is connected to an indicator with an accuracy of 1/10 km. Each indicator sticks out a marketing pin on one side, while the other side has two pins. When the two pins rotate around the white plastic gear, one of
