MEANS OF TRANSPORT WITH ADJUSTABLE SEATING AREA

1- DESCRIPTION OF THE STATE OF THE TECHNIQUE

1,1 * INTRODUCTION - The present invention refers to a means of transport 1 (fig, 1, 2, 3, 4) with an adjustable seating area (fig. 1, 2, 3, 4) (cycle / moped / motorcycle eco.), in which the seating area 2 (fig. 1, 2. 3, 4), is able to vary its position in space with respect to the means of transport 1 (fig, 1, 2, 3, 4) the same, thus allowing the driver 3 [fig. 1) to vary the position of one's center of gravity 4 (fig. 1, 3, 4), and consequently to vary the position of the center of gravity 5 (fig, 1, 3, 4) of the assembly composed of the driver 3 (fig. 1 , 2, 3, 4) and by the means of transport 1 (fig. 1, 2, 3, 4), and positively follow the course of the route, as indicated in fig. 4, increasing vehicle controllability and driving safety,

1.2- 1 EXISTING PRODUCTS - According to the state of the art, there are no means of transport with these characteristics; to understand the importance of the present invention, and its positive impact on wider markets, the motorcycle racing sector is taken as an example. As is known, in this sector the pilot 3 (fig. 5) performs repeated lateral and torsional movements of the body outside the traditional seating area 6 (fig, 5), so as to obtain a variation of the position of the center of gravity 5 (fig. , 5) of the assembly composed of the driver 3 (fig, 5} and the means of transport 7 (fig. 5, 21), and thus be able to tackle the curves with greater speed. These movements are often reckless and tiring, and require the 'assumption of extreme and unbalanced postures, so as to present a high risk index. In order to reduce these negative aspects, the means of transport 1 was therefore devised (fig, 1,2, 3, 4), described below with reference to a motorcycle, even if the same inventive principle is applicable as it is, with proportional advantages, also to mopeds, tricycles, quadricycles, etc.,

As regards operation, it is as follows: the centered unit 45 (fig. 19, 20) receives signals 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65 (fig. 20) from sensors 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55 (fig, 19, 20), and processes them continuously by means of the electronic program 46 (fig. 19, 20), and sends suitable signals 66 (3⁄4. 20) to the electric energy 48 (fig. 19, 20), which sends pulses of electric power 67, 68 (fig. 20) to the actuators 47 (fig. 19, 20), so that these actuators 47 reach the calculated position, so that to continuously bring the seating area 2 (fig. 19, 20), and therefore the driver, in the most favorable position to tackle the route.

3.9- ELECTRONIC AUTOMATION MEANS, ANOTHER EMBODIMENT - Another embodiment is now described, equipped with electronic automation means 44; the means of transport 71 (fig. 24) comprises a frame 73 (fig. 24, 25, 27, 29) and the wheels 10 (fig. 24) connected to it according to known techniques, comprises a support 72 (fig. from 24 to 31) which includes the seating area 2 (fig. 24 to 31), comprises a base 74 (fig, 24 to 31) integral with said frame 73 (fig. 24, 25, 27, 29), comprises automation means 44 (fig. 24) which comprise an electronic counter unit 45 (fig. 24), an electronic program 46 (fig. 24), and 6 actuators 47 (fig. 24 to 31) (in this case, 6 electric actuators or linear electric motors equipped with feedback position control). It should be noted that each end of these actuators 47 has a ball joint 70 (fig, from 25 to 31), and that these actuators 47 are therefore connected, on one side, in an oscillating way to the base 74 (and therefore to the frame 73 (fig. . 24, 25, 27, 29)), and at the opposite side, to the support 72 (figs, from 24 to 31}, by means of said spherical joints 70 (fig. 25 to 31), the means of transport 71 (fig., 24), also includes an energy generator 48 (fig. 24) (in this case, an electric power generator), electronic devices for measuring the forward speed of the vehicle 49 (fig. 24), the forward acceleration 50 (fig. 24), lateral speed 51 (fig. 24), lateral acceleration 52 (fig. 24), inclination 53 (fig. 24), force applied by the driver 54 (fig. 24) ( in this case, load cells), of the steering angle 55 (fig. 24). As regards operation, it is as follows: the central unit 45 (fig. 24) receives signals 59, 60, 61 , 62, 63, 64, 65 (fig. 20) from sensors 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55 (fig. 24), and ii processes continuously by means of the electronic program 46 (fig.

24), and sends suitable signals 65 (fig. 20) to the electric power generator 48 (fig. 24). which sends electric power impulses 67, 68 (fig. 20) to actuators 47 (fig. 4), so that said actuators 47 reach the calculated position, so as to continuously bring the seating area 2 (fig. 24 to 31), and therefore the driver, in the most favorable position to tackle the route. Compared to the previous version (fig. 19, 20), the version described here is similar to the robotics device called hexapods; it has greater degrees of freedom, as the seating area 2 can be lowered (fig. 25) or raised (fig. 27), tilted on the sides (fig. 29), rotated, to the left (fig. 28) or towards right during cornering, raised at the rear (fig. 30) to hold the driver during acceleration, raised at the front (fig. 31) to restrain the driver during braking, and thus reduce his efforts to contain the sliding on the sessions: consequence of one's own inertia force. 3.10- EXAMPLE OF ADVANTAGES OF THE ELECTRONIC AUTOMATION- As known, in the event of sudden braking at the end of a fast straight line, the means of transport, pushed by inertia, tends to extend the rear suspension towards Tato, and to raise the rear part of the medium (fig, 21); this causes the center of gravity of the driver 4 to rise (fig. 21), and the center of gravity of the driver-vehicle assembly 5 (fig.

21), with consequent difficulty for the driver in facing the next corner. The use of automation means 44 (fig. 20, 22, 24), allows the means to automatically lower the seating area 2 (fig. 22) by a height 75 (fig. 21, 22), as well as orient it, if necessary, sideways to the direction of travel. Consequently, the action produces the simultaneous lowering of the center of gravity of the driver-vehicle assembly 5 (fig. 22), so that the driver can tackle the next curve with less effort.
