Abstract

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: user is placed inside wheel (2) on foothold (1). This foothold (1) is placed across the wheel (2) and is connected with torsion bar (5). The foothold (1) has balance beams (3) with support wheels (4). Turning in the selected direction is executed when the foothold (1) is depressed so that on the selected side one of two wheels (4) could descend on road.

EFFECT: increased control efficiency.

Description

The invention relates to methods and devices for controlling unicycle vehicles, including motor crews.

Known methods of driving unicycle vehicles / see author testimonial. No. 1320116 (class B62K 1/00, class B62M 1/02) dated 12/23/1985 and No. 251392 (class B62K 11/14) dated October 13, 1966 /, consisting in changing the direction of the control moment of movement due to, respectively, forced lateral displacement of the center the gravity of the crew and the flywheel reactive moment with a reversible drive located movably in the transverse plane of the vehicle.

The main disadvantage of the known methods of driving unicycle vehicles (for example, ring scooters) is their low efficiency, since the control moments are applied to the vehicle, and not to the road.

To eliminate the noted drawback in the method of driving a one-wheeled vehicle, consisting in changing the direction of the control moment of movement, the control moment changing the direction of movement of the vehicle on the road is applied to the road in that part towards which it is being turned, by pressing the foot platform mounted across the wheel on balancers with support wheels at the ends of the balancers pivotally mounted on the torsion beam of the wheel carriage and allowing common support horizon level from a vehicle wheel only one supporting wheel of the first two support wheels.

The drawing shows a schematic diagram of a device that implements the claimed method of controlling a one-wheeled vehicle, a view along the wheel of the vehicle.

The control device for a one-wheeled vehicle (not shown) consists of a foot platform 1 mounted across the wheel 2 on the balancers 3 with the supporting wheels 4 at the ends of the balancers 3, pivotally mounted on the torsion beam 5 of the carriage (not shown) of the wheel 2 and allowing a common reference level horizon with the wheel 2 of the vehicle only one (for example, left when turning left) the support wheel 4 of the two existing support wheels 4.

The balancer 3 can be made in the form of an M-shaped symmetrical lever structure formed in the middle part by a rigid isosceles right-angled triangle, the right angle of which is connected with the beam 5, which carries a foot platform 1 on a horizontal "hypotenuse"; "Hypotenuse" at its ends is pivotally connected by means of sloping rods with support wheels 4, sliding support posts in guide grooves. Each of the support wheels 4 can be made in the image and likeness of the wheel, previously patented by the author / cm. Patent No. 2275892 (class A61G 5 / 04.5 / 00) dated 03.09.2004 /.

When moving on a one-wheeled vehicle (for example, a ring scooter), the skater is placed inside the wheel 2 in the middle of the foot platform 1, i.e. in the plane of the wheel 2 containing the torsion beam 5. If necessary, turn the unicycle to the left by the claimed method, the skater transfers the center of gravity of his own body to the left foot, which leads to the angular displacement of the footwell 1 with respect to the axial torsion beam 5 counterclockwise; the latter causes a displacement of the left support wheel 4 at the end of the left balancer 3 until it comes into contact with the road along which the wheel 2 of the vehicle moves, changing the direction of movement of the vehicle.

Similarly, the claimed method is performed by turning the unicycle to the right.

Thus, according to the applicant, the proposed technical solution is new, has an inventive step and is industrially applicable, making it possible to increase the efficiency of driving unicycle vehicles, minimizing the means for implementing the claimed method.

Claims (1)

A control method for a one-wheeled vehicle, consisting in changing the direction of the control moment of movement, characterized in that the control moment changing the direction of movement of the vehicle on the road is applied to the road in that part towards which it is being turned, by pressing the foot pad, mounted across the wheel on balancers with support wheels at the ends of the balancers pivotally mounted on the torsion beam of the wheel carriage and allowing a common reference level of the horizon vehicle wheel only one supporting wheel of the first two support wheels.
