Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a vehicle with walking assist power drive mode,

The present invention relates to a sensor for detecting whether a driver is boarding a small vehicle such as a motorcycle, a two-wheeled vehicle, a three-wheeled vehicle or the like; A sensor control unit for determining whether or not the vehicle is occupied by using a sensor signal; A drive control unit which generates a low-speed driving force corresponding to a walking speed when the driver comes down from the vehicle and exits the vehicle; The present invention relates to a vehicle equipped with a walking assist drive mode.

Generally, small vehicles such as motorcycles and motorcycles are prohibited by law from driving in areas other than roads, such as India and crosswalks. This is because it threatens the safety of pedestrians and poses a risk of traffic accidents. If it is necessary, it is necessary to get off the seat and drag the vehicle in India, crosswalk, etc. when necessary. In addition, for parking or gas filling (electric charging) in a narrow space, it is necessary to move away from the vehicle and slowly move it.

However, small-sized vehicles such as motorcycles, two-wheeled vehicles, etc., already have considerable inherent weight, so it is generally not easy for adults to drive. It is also more difficult and difficult to drag the baggage on the uphill slope.

A small vehicle such as a motorcycle generally rotates the throttle grip of the steering wheel handle to accelerate and drive the equipment. It is not easy to precisely manipulate the degree of rotation of the steering wheel. If the vehicle suddenly rotates, You can be in danger.

And it is an object of the present invention to provide a device configuration capable of grasping the condition of the vehicle itself without a simple operation or a separate additional operation when the driver pulls the vehicle out of the motorcycle and is capable of providing a low driving force in accordance with the walking speed.

In order to accomplish the above object, the present invention provides a sensor device for detecting whether a driver is aboard a small vehicle such as a two-wheeled vehicle, for example, contact, pressure, force, displacement and the like mounted on a seat or a suspension; A sensor control unit for receiving a signal from the sensor device and determining whether the driver is on board; And a driving control section for causing the driving section (engine / motor and the like) to travel at a low speed in a walking mode when a throttle grip or a vehicle driving signal corresponding thereto is input during the unattended operation of the driver. do.

In order to prevent malfunction, the control unit can be modified / configured so that the vehicle can be driven in the walking support mode only when the driving speed of the vehicle is less than a certain level or completely stopped.

According to the present invention described above, when a driver pulls a vehicle outside the two-wheeled vehicle and makes a gait movement, the vehicle automatically recognizes the state by using a signal such as a sensor, and automatically switches to a walking support mode, There are advantages.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG.

FIG. 3 is a view showing a configuration
Fig. 4 is a view showing a configuration

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The following terms are defined in consideration of the functions of the present invention and may vary depending on the understanding or customs of the user and the operator. Therefore, the definitions should be based on the contents of the present specification describing the present invention.

As a temporary example for attaining the object of the present invention, there is provided an engine control apparatus comprising a steering operation section, at least one throttle grip provided on the steering operation section for adjusting a speed, a sensor mounted on a seat or a suspension, And a drive control unit for generating a low-speed walking mode driving force signal when a user input is generated in the throttle grip when a condition set by a signal from the sensor control unit is satisfied, Or the like.

Fig. 1 is an overall configuration diagram of the present invention. Fig. 2 is a view showing the shape and structure of a general two-wheeled vehicle, Fig. 3 is a shape for mounting a seat occupancy detection sensor, and Fig. 4 is a shape for mounting a seat occupancy detection sensor for suspension.

1, the present invention mainly includes sensors 24 and 70 mounted on a seat or a suspension, a sensor control unit for determining a boarding state from a sensor signal, and an input signal of a throttle grip 50 or a separately mountable switch And a drive control unit for driving the engine or the motor in the walking support mode. Here, it is also possible to configure the vehicle so as to be able to be driven in the walking support mode only when the traveling speed of the vehicle is sensed and is lower than a predetermined speed or completely stopped.

The shape and structure of a typical two-wheeled vehicle are configured as shown in Fig. Generally, the driver is required to sit on the seat 20 during operation, and then, when necessary, pull down and move. When the driver sits on the seat 20, the body weight is transmitted to the front wheel 30 and rear wheel assembly 40 via the seat as well as the motorcycle body frame 10 to increase the load on the front suspension 31 and the rear suspension And the spring is compressed.

The seat 20 of the motorcycle generally comprises an internal lower space 22 capable of loading cargo when the seat top cover 21 connected to the vehicle body 10 and the pin joint 23 is lifted as shown in Fig. In the present invention, the sensor 24 is attached to the upper end of the inner bottom space 22 to confirm whether or not the driver is on board. When the driver is boarded on the seat 20, the upper cover is deflected by a certain amount due to the weight. When the driver is not present, there is a space between the seat top cover 21 and the sensor 24 mounted in the inner bottom space. When the driver is on board and the top cover falls, the bottom surface of the top cover contacts the sensor 24 Electricity can be connected to generate a signal. Alternatively, it is possible to apply a method of confirming whether or not the passenger is directly carried by applying a load sensor.

In addition to the seat 20, as shown in FIG. 4, a sensor may be attached to the suspension to confirm whether or not the vehicle is on board. The coil spring type as shown in FIG. 4 and the air spring type are commonly used for the motorcycle. A sensor 70 capable of directly measuring a load can be mounted between the suspension 60 and the mounting mount 11 to determine whether or not the vehicle is loaded on the basis of a change in load at the time of loading or unloading. Or sensing the change in the length of the suspension spring, or sensing the change in internal pressure in the case of an air spring.

The sensor control unit determines whether or not the vehicle is boarded from the signals of the sensors 24 and 70. If the non-boarding is determined and the external input such as the throttle grip is input while the other conditions are satisfied, The signal is transmitted to the actual driving part. In the case of engine-driven two-wheeled vehicles, keep the transmission and fuel injection amount at a minimum level suitable for the gait-assisted drive mode, and set the transmission and voltage control at the lowest level for the electric-

According to the present invention having such a structure, when the driver of the two-wheeled vehicle pulls down from the vehicle, the driver himself / herself grasps the state without additional operation by the driver and automatically converts and drives the vehicle into the walking support drive mode.

Further, when the sensor is not used or is not used, a walking mode switching unit is further provided to one side of the steering control unit or the throttle grip to reduce the amount of speed control of the vehicle, so that the user can operate the switching unit to easily make the walking speed Can be configured to be adjustable.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention.
