Description

Reminder method of vehicle switch

The present invention relates to a reminding method of a vehicle switch, especially a reminding method of a vehicle switch suitable for a power vehicle.

In recent years, in response to regulations, vehicles have fully introduced full-time lighting, and more and more vehicles are equipped with idling shutdown functions, which means that the engine will not emit exhaust gas when waiting for traffic lights, and it can also bring better vehicle fuel consumption performance. The vehicle that is equipped with idle speed shutdown is also often equipped with a side stand or main stand to kick down and then turn off.

However, due to the convenience of idling and turning off after the side stand or main stand is kicked down, many users turn off the engine first when they ride the vehicle to their destination, because the idling system has not turned off the engine through the key yet. Or when riding the vehicle to the destination, the engine will turn off after the side stand or main stand is kicked off, causing the user to mistakenly think that the vehicle has been turned off through the key and leave the vehicle directly. This behavior will cause the vehicle's electrical system. Consuming the battery power all the time and causing the battery to run out will also cause the vehicle to be stolen without the vehicle key being pulled out.

Because of this, the inventor, in the spirit of active invention, urgently thought of a reminder method for vehicle switches that can solve the above problems, and finally completed the present invention after several researches and experiments.

The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a vehicle switch reminder method, through which the judgment mechanism can effectively prevent the rider from misjudging that the vehicle has stopped due to the engine idling stop function or the engine stop function after the side stand and main stand are kicked down. By turning off the switch and leaving the vehicle, in fact, the switch is still in the key-on state, and the rider forgets to remove the key.

In order to achieve the above object, the vehicle switch reminder method of the present invention is applied to a powered vehicle with an engine. The powered vehicle includes a judgment system, a switch sensor for detecting the state of a switch, and a vehicle speed sensor. device, a side tripod sensor for detecting the status of one side tripod, a main tripod sensor for detecting the state of a main tripod, and a warning interface to determine that the system is electrically connected to the switch sensor, vehicle speed A sensor, a side stand sensor, a main stand sensor, and a warning interface, wherein the method for reminding a vehicle switch includes the following steps: (A) After the engine is turned off, perform step (B); (B) judging whether the switch is in the open state or the closed state, if it is in the open state, execute step (C), and if it is in the closed state, execute step (F); (C) judging whether the speed of the powered vehicle is equal to 0km/h, if so, execute step (D), if not, execute step (F); (D) judging whether the side stand or the main stand of the powered vehicle is actuated to unfold, if so, execute step (E), if not, execute step (F); (E) the alert interface provides alert notifications; and (F) End the judgment flow.

Through the above judgment process, the judgment system can use the above various sensor information to judge whether the power vehicle does not close the switch after the ignition is turned off, and achieves the function of reminding, which can effectively avoid the power consumption of the vehicle battery if the switch is not closed, or the key Vehicle theft occurs without pulling it out.

The above-mentioned power vehicle may further include an engine speed sensor for detecting the state of the engine speed, which is electrically connected to the judging system. In this way, the information on the state of the engine speed of the judging system can be provided, and the accuracy of the judging process can be improved.

The above-mentioned powered vehicle may further include an accelerator opening sensor for detecting an accelerator opening state, which is electrically connected to the judging system. In this way, the state information of the throttle opening degree of the judgment system can be provided, and the accuracy of the judgment process can be improved.

The above step (B) may further include a step (C1) judging whether the engine speed of the power vehicle is equal to 0 RPM, if so, execute step (C), otherwise execute step (F). In this way, through the judging process of increasing the engine speed, it can be accurately judged whether the engine is continuously in the flameout state.

The above step (B) may further include a step (C2) judging whether the accelerator opening of the powered vehicle is equal to 0%, if so, execute step (C), otherwise execute step (F). In this way, by increasing the judging process of the accelerator opening degree, it can be accurately judged whether the engine is in a state of being turned off continuously.

After the above-mentioned step (B), a step (C1) may be further included to determine whether the engine speed of the power vehicle is equal to 0 RPM, if so, execute step (C2), if otherwise, execute step (F); Check whether the accelerator opening is equal to 0%, if so, go to step (C), if not, go to step (F). In this way, by increasing the judging process of the engine speed and the accelerator opening at the same time, it can be accurately judged whether the engine is in a state of being turned off.

The above judgment system can be integrated into a meter or an engine control device of a power vehicle. In this way, the control and judgment are performed through the instrument or the engine control device, which can reduce the number of control chips, and simplify the communication and the transmission of messages.

The above-mentioned warning interface can be a warning device of light signal or sound. In this way, the present invention can remind the rider to remember to turn off the switch and turn off the ignition through the flashing of the light signal or the sound of the horn.
