But, in above-mentioned patent documentation 1 and 2 described coaxial two-wheel vehicles, a handle is fixed on the pedal (driving parts) that is used for the people and drives, the support component of a support wheel is fixed on the pedal can rotate freely the ground mode, and the upper surface of pedal (driving the surface) is parallel with running surface (road surface).Therefore, when center of gravity is in than higher position, for example the rider is in standing attitude time of standing state, it is unstable that rider's upper body just becomes, when travelling on the tilted road surface of road surface and travel direction vertical bank because action of gravity, maybe when turning to because action of centrifugal force, the rider can rock from side to side and become unstable, and car body just overturns on side direction probably when centnifugal force is excessive.
Introduce the detailed content of this respect in detail below by accompanying drawing 1 to 3.Figure 1A is an explanatory view to 1C, represents respectively to observe coaxial two-wheel vehicle of the prior art from the front side of vehicle.In 1C, the integral body of Reference numeral 1 expression coaxial two-wheel vehicle wherein is provided with a car body 2 as pedal at Figure 1A.Be provided with rotatable left and right wheels 3L and 3R in the direction both sides vertical with car body 2 travel direction.In addition, rider's (for example being a man) who drives on car body 2 of Reference numeral 4 expressions, Reference numeral G represents rider 4 center of gravity, Reference numeral W represents rider 4 weight (load).
Figure 1A is illustrated under the situation that does not have side force and centrifugal forces affect, the state of coaxial two-wheel vehicle 1 straight-line travelling on flat road surface.In this case, rider 4 center of gravity G is located substantially on the top at coaxial two-wheel vehicle 1 center, and load W vertically acts on the approximate centre of car body 2.Therefore, roughly the same loading is at left and right wheels 3L and 3R, and is roughly the same at the antagonistic force at wheel 3L and 3R and the contacted ground of road surface E contact point TL and TR place.
Figure 1B represents the state that coaxial two-wheel vehicle 1 turns on flat road surface E.In this case, centnifugal force (side force) F acts on the rider 4 from right side wheels 3R side, because the effect of centnifugal force F, the gravitational vector W of load W departs from an angle θ.When the extended line of gravitational vector W and road surface E intersect formed ground contact point R when being positioned at ground contact point TL inboard of left side wheel 3L, coaxial two-wheel vehicle 1 can stably turn to.But, when ground contact point R is in the ground contact point TL outside shown in Figure 1B, will damage riding stability, because left and right wheels 3L and 3R can not bear centnifugal force F, when centnifugal force F becomes excessive, vehicle will shown in Fig. 1 C, overturn like that (falling down) in side direction.
The degree of difficulty major part that causes coaxial two-wheel vehicle 1 to overturn depends on the height of rider 4 center of gravity G.Fig. 2 is a scheme drawing of explaining this phenomenon.When rider 4 center of gravity G was lower, the permission angle of inclination of the gravitational vector W of center of gravity G was angle θ as shown in Figure 2.But, very high and when transforming to center of gravity G1 as rider 4 center of gravity G, the angle of inclination of center of gravity G1 becomes angle θ 1 less than angle θ, and (θ 1<θ), because remain unchanged to the ground contact point TL of left and right wheels 3L and 3R and the distance of TR from the center of car body 2.
From the above, be understandable that causing the degree of difficulty of coaxial two-wheel vehicle 1 upset is to represent by the height of center of gravity G and the product of centnifugal force F.Specifically, suppose that the ground contact point R of gravitational vector W is corresponding with the ground contact point TL of left side wheel 3L, just obtains F * H=S (formula 1) when centnifugal force F acts on the center of gravity G.Similarly, suppose that the ground contact point R of gravitational vector W1 is corresponding with the ground contact point TL of left side wheel 3L, just obtains F1 * H1=S (formula 2) when centnifugal force F acts on the center of gravity G1.Therefore, F * H=F1 * H1.Here, because H<H1, so F>F1.Therefore, when center-of-gravity position was higher, even centnifugal force is little so much, coaxial two-wheel vehicle 1 also may overturn.
This upset of coaxial two-wheel vehicle 1 can be avoided by structure shown in Figure 3.What Fig. 3 represented is to do the time spent, the road surface E bevelled scheme drawing of car body 2 on right side wheels 3R as centnifugal force F.When therefore car body 2 tilts to a side of centnifugal force F effect, just can prevent the upset of coaxial two-wheel vehicle 1 and may carry out stable turning, because the ground contact point R of gravitational vector W1 changes to the inboard of the ground contact point TL of left side wheel 3L.
Summary of the invention

Angle detecting sensor 31 detects a detection signal that handles 15 angles of inclination obtain, is provided for controller 46 with the cooresponding signal of steering operation amount of steering operation ring 37 and a detection signal of attitude sensor parts 45.Attitude sensor parts 45 are to be used for detecting cireular frequency and acceleration/accel when coaxial two-wheel vehicle 10 travels, and the operating angle speed and the acceleration/accel that travels, and it comprises for example a gyrosensor and an acceleration pick-up.
Gyrosensor detects cireular frequency, and at least one in the clinoid of cireular frequency and pitch axis (with wheel spool corresponding to 13L and 13R) 51, rotation axis (passing the center of car body 12 and parallel with the travel direction of vehicle) 52 and car body 12 (passing the center of car body 12 and vertical with the road surface of vehicle ') is relevant.And when car body 12 was represented by above-mentioned three axis, the acceleration pick-up of attitude sensor parts 45 detects caught up with at least one relevant acceleration/accel of stating in three axis (X-axis, Y-axis and Z axle).
Coaxial two-wheel vehicle 10 with said structure can travel in the mode for example.Fig. 4 A and 4B represent the state of vehicle in the time of straight-line travelling on flat road surface E, in this state, observe from the front, and be just vertical with track E as a shaft centre line CL at handle 15 centers.In addition, divide right and left pedal 11L and 11R just remained on equal height by level.
Fig. 8 represents is that a wheel (being left side wheel 13L in the present embodiment) at the vehicle of straight-line travelling on the flat road surface E drives on the step K.In this case, kept vertically by the rider by handle 15, then vehicle can keep horizontal state to travel with divide right and left pedal 11L and 11R.Therefore, even the rider's who drives with stance center of gravity is very high, the step K of road surface E also can be absorbed by pedal 11L and the 11R variation on short transverse of dividing right and left, so the rider just can not have stable travelling under the situation of wigwag motion at its upper body part.
What Fig. 9 represented is the state that turns on flat road surface E.In this case, rider's handle 15 that tilts, and his/her upper body part tilts towards turning center one side (inboard), pedal 11L and 11R and left and right wheels 13L and 13R and handle 15 parallel oblique so that divide right and left comprise that rider's whole vehicle just is easy to offset centnifugal force.
And Figure 10 represents is motoring condition on tilted road surface (tilted road surface M), and travel direction is vertical with direction of tilt.In this case, the state class that change is gone up in pivot center direction (left and right directions of relative travel direction just) in the road surface when driving to step K and go up seemingly, the rider keeps handle 15 vertical, and can keep horizontal state to travel with divide right and left pedal 11L and 11R.Therefore, even the rider's who drives with stance center of gravity is very high, tilted road surface M also can be absorbed by pedal 11L and the 11R variation on short transverse of dividing right and left, so the rider just can not have under the situation of wigwag motion stabilized driving and travels at its upper body part.
Below, will introduce the method that coaxial two-wheel vehicle 10 turns to.Figure 12 A represents the state of coaxial two-wheel vehicle 10 straight-line travelling on flat road surface E.Figure 12 B be illustrated in flat road surface E go up left-handed turning to state.And Figure 12 C is illustrated in the state that tilted road surface M goes up straight-line travelling (be included on the step K and travel).
When coaxial two-wheel vehicle 10 turns to, basically two kinds of ways below adopting: a kind of is only to determine that by the inclination of handle 15 method of steering volume (turning velocity, Turning radius etc.) and a kind of inclination and rider by handle 15 rotate the method that steering operation ring 37 (quickening turning velocity) is determined steering volume.
At first, only determine the method for steering volume with introducing to turn to by the inclination of handle 15.As shown in Figure 9, in this case, the steering operation amount is to determine according to the handle actual tilt angles θ h between handle 15 and gravity axis V.According to the steering volume and the speed of a motor vehicle, between left and right wheels 13L and 13R, produce speed discrepancy, can produce the Turning radius of predetermined centnifugal force to turn to regard to obtaining like this.In this case, handle actual tilt angles θ h can be as the detection of getting off.
First example is that above-mentioned attitude sensor parts 45 are to be connected on the handle 15 or to be connected among a pair of divide right and left the pedal 11L and the 11R parallel with handle 15 one, like this, just can directly detect the inclination angle of handle 15.
Second example is that attitude sensor parts 45 are connected on as shown in Figure 7 the car body lower member 17.In this case, position transduser is used for detecting the relative angle between the relative angle between handle 15 and the car body lower member 17 or handle 15 and vehicle body upper portion parts 16.In the embodiment shown in fig. 7, the angular transducer 31 in vehicle body upper portion parts 16 is equivalent to position transduser, and a potentiometer etc. can be as for example angle detecting sensor 31.The output of the output of angle detecting sensor 31 and attitude sensor parts 45 can be used for calculating poor between " the inclination of vehicle angle θ g that becomes with the gravity axis V-arrangement " and " handle 15 is with respect to the handle relative tilt angle θ p of car body ", and detect the handle actual tilt angles θ h (θ p-θ g=θ h) of handle 15, " the inclination of vehicle angle θ g that becomes with the gravity axis V-arrangement " is the output of the attitude sensor parts 45 relative gravity axle V in car body 12, and " handle 15 is with respect to the handle relative tilt angle θ p of car body " is the output of angle detecting sensor 31.
For example, when as the handle relative tilt angle θ p of the output of angle detecting sensor 31 when inclination of vehicle angle θ g as the output of attitude sensor parts 45 is consistent, handle 15 is vertical, and no matter vehicle is in the straight-line travelling state and road surface situation (flat road surface, tilted road surface M, step K etc.), shown in Figure 12 A and Figure 10 and Figure 12 C.On the other hand, when coaxial two-wheel vehicle 10 turns to as shown in Figure 9, the inclination of vehicle angle resulting value of θ g that cuts as the output of attitude sensor parts 45 from the handle relative tilt angle θ p as the output of angle detecting sensor 31 is exactly and the formed handle actual tilt angles of gravity axis V θ h to determine the steering operation amount according to this handle actual tilt angles θ h.
Below, determine the method for steering volume with introducing the inclination angle that rotates steering operation ring 37 and handle 15 according to the driver.(for example producing centnifugal force hardly, centnifugal force is 0.1G or littler) situation under, for example low speed turns to, super pivot skid steer (super-pivotal brake tum) etc., thereby the rider can select operation according to moving velocity by the inclination and the steering operation ring that use handle 15, because steering operation ring 37 rather than the inclination handle that is positioned at handlebar stem 36 tops by manual rotation improves operability under these circumstances.In this case, steering operation according to steering operation ring 37, determine steering volume and only the method that turns to of the inclination by handle 15 just be accumulated on the operational ton, like this, the two in conjunction with and state of using under just can control operational ton when turning to.
At first, in the time of the steering operation ring 37 of manual rotating handles bar 36, the operational ton of steering operation ring 37 just detects by the position-detection sensor made from potentiometer etc., and detection signal is sent to controller 46.Then, control signal of controller 46 wheel drive parts 14L and 14R output to the left and right so just can obtain to produce according to the speed of a motor vehicle and be scheduled to centnifugal force (for example, Turning radius 0.2G), and to left and right wheels 13L and predetermined speed discrepancy of 13R.
Here, when also will carry out more sharply turning, the rider is towards turning center inclination handle 15.Then, the tilt quantity of handle 15 is just detected by aforesaid angle detecting sensor 31, and the attitude of vehicle is detected by attitude sensor parts 45, like this, just calculates and the cooresponding wheel control amount of the tilt quantity of handle 15.The wheel control amount that obtains by handle 15 tilt quantity is accumulated on the wheel control amount by the steering operation of steering operation ring 37.As a result, controller 46 is wheel drive parts 14L and control signal of 14R output to the left and right, obtains one with regard to the speed discrepancy that changes left and right wheels 13L and 13R like this and can produce predetermined centnifugal force (for example, Turning radius 0.4G).Therefore,, also can carry out stable turning to even turning velocity is very fast, can wigwag motion and be in the rider's of stance upper body part.
In first embodiment, about pedal is divided into two, because just can obtain following advantage when use separates two pedal 11L and 11R like this, when for example driving on the step, for example wheel at first drives on as shown in Figure 8 the step K, but the wheel of that side just can rely on propulsive effort seldom just to drive on the step K, and at this moment the rider just moves on to down center of gravity face wheel one side (the non-side of travelling).Subsequently, center of gravity moves on to running vehicle wheel one side, descends face wheel (the non-side of travelling) just to drive on the step then, makes the rider feel the same with the pin rank of going up on the stage, and therefore relying on seldom, the propulsive effort vehicle just can drive on the step K.
