< method examples >

Fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart of a control method of an electric bicycle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, which may be implemented by an electric bicycle, such as the electric bicycle 3000 shown in fig. 1, and the method for controlling an electric bicycle according to the embodiment is described below by taking the electric bicycle 3000 shown in fig. 1 as an example, where the processor 3100 of the electric bicycle 3000 may be used as a controller of the electric bicycle 3000.

As shown in fig. 2, the method for controlling an electric bicycle of the present embodiment may include the following steps S2100 to S2200, which will be described in detail below.

In step S2100, first state information of a pedal of an electric bicycle is acquired, where the first state information indicates whether the pedal is in a depressed state.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, in order to improve the riding experience and riding safety of a user, the problem that the pedals of the electric bicycle are not controlled and may be brought is avoided, specifically, various sensors, such as a pressure sensor and an angle sensor, are integrated on the pedals of the electric bicycle to detect and acquire various state information of the pedals, so that the pedals of the electric bicycle are subjected to balance adjustment processing under the condition that preset conditions are met, and the pedals are prevented from mistakenly touching the ground or colliding with obstacles.

Specifically, under the condition that the user steps on the pedal, the pedal is actively controlled by the user, so under the working condition, the automatic balance adjustment processing of the pedal is not needed, and the conflict between the control of the electric bicycle on the pedal and the active control of the user is avoided. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the method is generally used for the condition that the pedal is not stepped on by the user, that is, at the time of a specific process, it is necessary to first judge whether the pedal of the electric bicycle is stepped on to determine whether to perform the balance adjustment process on the pedal, and how to acquire the first state information indicating whether the pedal is in the stepped state is described below.

In one embodiment, a pressure sensor may be provided on a pedal of the electric bicycle; the acquiring first state information of pedals of the electric bicycle comprises: acquiring pressure data acquired by the pressure sensor; and setting the first state information as information indicating that the pedal plate is in a non-treading state when the pressure data is not greater than a second preset threshold value.

Specifically, by arranging a pressure sensor on the pedal of the electric bicycle, pressure data received by the pedal can be collected, and whether the electric bicycle is in a treading state at present can be determined by comparing the pressure data with a second preset threshold value.

Additionally, it is contemplated that in some situations, the user may be briefly off stepping on the foot pedal. To avoid the problem of erroneous judgment in this case, in an embodiment, the acquiring the pressure data collected by the pressure sensor includes: and acquiring a plurality of pressure data acquired by the pressure sensor within a preset time length.

In this embodiment, when the pressure data is not greater than the second preset threshold, the setting the first state information as information indicating that the pedal is in the non-treading state specifically includes: and under the condition that the pressure data are not greater than the second preset threshold, setting the first state information as information indicating that the pedal is in a non-treading state.

The preset time period may be, for example, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 30 seconds, etc., and is not limited herein.

The acquiring of the plurality of pressure data collected by the pressure sensor within the preset time period may be: and acquiring a plurality of pressure data collected by the pressure sensor within a preset time according to a preset time interval. Specifically, in order to reduce the power consumption of the vehicle, the pressure sensor may not be required to continuously acquire pressure data during the preset time period, but the pressure sensor may be controlled to acquire data at preset time intervals during the preset time period. For example, the preset time period may be 30 seconds, and the preset time interval may be 5 seconds.

Specifically, in order to avoid erroneous determination as to whether or not the pedal is in the depressed state, when the first state information is acquired, the first state information may be determined based on a plurality of pressure data collected by the pressure sensor for a preset time period, for example, 30 seconds. Because the time length for the user to temporarily leave from treading the pedal is usually short, the accuracy of the acquired first state information can be improved by the method provided by the embodiment, and the condition of misjudgment is avoided.

In one embodiment, before the obtaining the first state information of the pedal of the electric bicycle, the method further comprises: acquiring third state information of the electric bicycle, wherein the third state information represents whether the electric bicycle is in a riding state or not; the acquiring of the first state information of the pedals of the electric bicycle is performed in a case where the third state information indicates that the electric bicycle is in a riding state.

That is, the method provided by the embodiment is specifically applied to the electric bicycle in the riding state, and for the non-riding state, for example, the electric bicycle in the locked state and unlocked but in the static state, because the pedals of the electric bicycle do not rotate in the non-riding state, the method does not need to be implemented in the non-riding state, so as to avoid increasing the power consumption of the vehicle.

In a specific implementation, the third state information may be obtained by obtaining at least one of a current speed, an acceleration, a wheel movement signal of the electric bicycle, and the like, and will not be described herein again.

Step S2200 is executed to perform a balance adjustment process on the pedal plate when the first state information satisfies a preset condition.

After the first state information indicating whether the pedals of the electric bicycle are in the depressed state is obtained through the above steps, it is possible to determine whether the balance adjustment process needs to be performed on the pedals based on the first state information.

In one embodiment, the performing a balance adjustment process on the pedal plate in the case where the first state information satisfies a preset condition includes: and executing a balance adjustment process on the pedal plate when the first state information indicates that the pedal plate is in a non-stepping state.

Specifically, if the running-board is in the non-trampling state, then the running-board may follow electric bicycle's the gos forward and rotate, therefore, in order to promote user's experience of riding and the safety of riding, under this condition, can be through carrying out balance adjustment to the running-board and handle to make the running-board be in balanced state, avoid the condition of mistake touching ground to appear.

In one embodiment, the foot pedals include a left pedal and a right pedal; the executing of the balance adjustment process on the foot pedal includes: acquiring second state information of the pedal plate, wherein the second state information indicates whether the pedal plate is in a balanced state, and the balanced state is a state that the left pedal and the right pedal are in horizontal positions.

Please refer to fig. 3, which is a schematic view illustrating a balance state of a footrest according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Under the condition that the electric bicycle is in a riding state and the pedals are not in a treading state, in order to improve riding experience and riding safety of a user, when the pedals are prepared to be balanced and adjusted, whether the pedals are in a balanced state shown in fig. 3 or not can be judged firstly, and if the pedals are in the balanced state, the balance and adjustment can be not carried out.

In specific implementation, an angle sensor can be arranged on a pedal of the electric bicycle; the acquiring of the second state information of the pedal plate includes: acquiring angle data acquired by the angle sensor; and setting the second state information as information indicating that the pedal plate is in an unbalanced state when the angle data is larger than a first preset threshold value.

In this embodiment, the angle data may be used to indicate the angle of rotation of the foot pedal.

Specifically, it is possible to determine whether the pedal is in a balanced state or not based on angle data obtained by detecting and acquiring angle data indicating a rotation angle of the pedal by providing an angle sensor, for example, a gyroscope, on the pedal.

In a specific implementation, the adjusting the footrest to a balanced state includes: controlling a motor of the electric bicycle to output a driving force for driving the pedals to rotate so as to adjust the pedals to a balanced state. Additionally, after adjusting the footrest to the balanced state, the method further comprises: and controlling the motor to stop outputting the driving force.

That is, the motor may be controlled to output the driving force to drive the pedals to perform the returning operation to the balanced state in a case where it is determined that the pedals of the electric bicycle are in the unbalanced state.

In a specific implementation, an accommodating cavity for accommodating the pedal may be provided in the electric bicycle, so that the electric bicycle automatically controls the pedal to be folded and accommodated in the accommodating cavity when the pedal is not pedaled, or the electric bicycle responds to active control of a user to fold and accommodate the pedal in the accommodating cavity, which is not particularly limited herein.

Please refer to fig. 4, which is a schematic diagram of an example provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 3, after the electric bicycle is powered on, step S4100 may be executed to obtain the riding state information of the electric bicycle, so as to determine whether the electric bicycle is in a riding state according to the riding state information; if the electric bicycle is in the riding state, executing step S4200, obtaining the stepping state information of the pedal of the electric bicycle, and determining whether the pedal is in the stepping state according to the stepping state information; if the pedal of the electric bicycle is in a non-treading state, executing step S4300 to obtain balance state information of the pedal so as to judge whether the pedal is in a balance state according to the balance state information; if the pedals are not in the balanced state, step S4400 is executed to control the motor of the electric bicycle to output the driving force for driving the pedals to rotate so as to adjust the pedals to the balanced state, and after the pedals are in the balanced state, the driving force is stopped to be output.

In summary, according to the method provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, in the working process of the electric bicycle, by acquiring the first state information used for indicating whether the pedals of the electric bicycle are in the treading state, the balance adjustment processing can be automatically executed on the pedals of the electric bicycle under the condition that the first state information meets the preset condition, so as to improve the riding experience of the user and avoid potential safety hazards.
