Second embodiment
Fig. 4 A and Fig. 4 B is the diagram of block automatically controlling Shock absorber system according to the bicycle of second embodiment of the invention.In Figure 4 A, bicycle automatically controls Shock absorber system 400 and comprises attitude sensor 410, signal receiving device 220, control treatment device 230 and damping regulator 240.At this, indicate identical symbol by with the component that the first embodiment has an identical function, and omit related description.
Attitude sensor 410 is sitting posture or stance in order to detect rider driving the posture that bicycle 10 adopts, and exports postural cue.Signal receiving device 220 is coupled to attitude sensor 410, to receive postural cue.Control treatment device 230 is coupled to signal receiving device 220, controls signal to damping regulator 240, make damping regulator 240 according to level control signal to adjust the rank of damping strength according to postural cue output level.
Attitude sensor 410 is arranged at one of them position such as seat cushion 107, seat pillar 108, handle 110, handlebar 112, driver's montant 111, pedal 106, vehicle frame 100, front fork 101, rear shock absorber 12, flower hub 109, crankshaft 104 and control treatment device 230 on bicycle 10, uses the sensing data of trampling posture obtained in order to judge rider.
Followingly to be described for pressure sensor as attitude sensor 410.Can a pressure sensor be set in seat cushion 107 or seat pillar 108 and be used as attitude sensor 410.When attitude sensor 410 senses stressed, represent that trampling posture is sitting posture; When attitude sensor 410 does not sense stressed, represent that trampling posture is stance.Or, a pressure sensor is set respectively at left and right two pedals 106 or left and right two handles 110, handlebar 112 or driver's montant 111 (or wantonly two place's stress points of bicycle) and is used as attitude sensor 410.So, not as limit, attitude sensor 410 may also be optical pickocff or radar, or other can detect the sensor of rider's center of gravity and posture conversion.
In addition, in figure 4b, bicycle automatically controls Shock absorber system 400 and also can be provided with simultaneously and trample back tachogen 210 and attitude sensor 410.Because the posture of trampling of rider tramples mode because having significantly weight shift position with significantly switching when actual driving, and cause bicycle need in response to changing the function that it suspend characteristic in midair.And the weight of rider is about 5 ~ 10 times relative to bicycle weight, therefore the impact of situation on bicycle of trampling of rider can not be ignored, can not be same and discuss with the same terms.Employing stance tramples with employing sitting posture the shock-absorbing difference about having more than 2 times.Accordingly, consider at the same time trample revolution speed and trample posture, better effect can be obtained.
In figure 4b, control treatment device 230 can determine damping curve relation according to postural cue, and carrys out output level control signal based on above-mentioned damping curve relation according to trampling signal.Accordingly, damping regulator 240 adjusts the rank of damping strength according to level control signal.
At this, trample posture and comprise stance and sitting posture, it is sitting posture curved line relation or stance curved line relation that control treatment device 230 can decide damping curve pass according to curve controlled signal.When actual driving, rider can corresponding condition of road surface and preparing in advance, and synchronous change drives mode.Such as, when meeting obstacle, rider can stop trampling and uses low speed and cross (degree of jitter that can reduce car body); When meeting uphill way, rider generally can switch and tramples posture and move forward by health and change light shelves to change revolution fast; When meeting detour section, rider generally can reduce and drives center of gravity and reduction and trample and turn round speed.Accordingly, may correspond in different the driving posture and provide two kinds of damping curve relations, that is, sitting posture curved line relation and stance curved line relation of stance and sitting posture two kinds.And the rate of curve of stance curved line relation can be greater than the rate of curve of sitting posture curved line relation.
For example, Fig. 5 A ~ Fig. 5 D is the schematic diagram of the damping curve relation according to second embodiment of the invention.In Fig. 5 A ~ Fig. 5 D, revolution speed is trampled in X-axis representative, using RPM as unit.Y-axis represents the damping strength of Shock absorber.At this, the damping strength of Fig. 5 A and Fig. 5 B is rank 1 ~ 6, and damping strength also can be set as rank 1 ~ 5 (as shown in Figure 5 C), or is set as rank 1 ~ 4 (as shown in Figure 5 D).And with reference to the first embodiment, can not repeat them here about the explanation of damping strength.
In fig. 5, stance curved line relation 51a and sitting posture curved line relation 51b is Serial regulation.When postural cue is expressed as stance, select stance curved line relation 51a, and trample revolution speed according to what detect at present and in stance curved line relation 51a, select corresponding rank.When postural cue is expressed as sitting posture, select sitting posture curved line relation 51b, and trample revolution speed according to what detect at present and in sitting posture curved line relation 51b, select corresponding rank.
Such as, suppose that postural cue is expressed as sitting posture, and the revolution speed of trampling detected is 60RPM, then control treatment device 230 meeting is selected to trample the rank 3 corresponding to the fast 60RPM of revolution based on sitting posture curved line relation 51b, and output level control signal.Accordingly, damping strength, when receiving level control signal, can be adjusted to rank 3 by damping regulator 240.
In addition, stance curved line relation and sitting posture curved line relation are can be along with trampling the increase of turning round speed, and damping strength is stepped increase, as shown in Fig. 5 B ~ Fig. 5 D.In figure 5b, stance curved line relation 52a and sitting posture curved line relation 52b is six sections and adjusts (damping strength is set as rank 1 ~ 6).In figure 5 c, stance curved line relation 53a and sitting posture curved line relation 53b is five sections and adjusts.In figure 5d, stance curved line relation 54a and sitting posture curved line relation 54b is four sections and adjusts (damping strength is set as rank 1 ~ 4).
Based on above-mentioned, compared with the road surface signal detecting the complexity that condition of road surface produces, judge sooner, the more directly and more inerrancy of the accuracy of condition of road surface by rider.By trampling the detection of posture, and then can to react in advance or synchronous correspondence drives situation, solving stance, impact that sitting posture tramples gravity motion.Accordingly, in conjunction with trampling the judgement of posture and trampling the detection of turning round speed, further can judge the multiple control method driving mode such as sitting posture, stance, effect is more directly simple more efficient.
