Energy control device for lean vehicle with power source

The present invention relates to an energy control device for a lean vehicle with a power source.

It is known that a lean vehicle with a power source, such as an electric motorcycle with a power source, can be parked and can be charged with energy. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a configuration in which a non-contact power supply device provided on a base charges a battery, which is a power source of the power-assisted bicycle, via a power receiving unit mounted on the power-assisted bicycle. There is. Patent Document 1 discloses that the contactless power supply device has a management device that controls charging of a battery of an electrically assisted bicycle.

The Patent Document 1 also discloses that the power assisted bicycle can be used for sharing by providing the base with the management device that controls charging of the battery of the power assisted bicycle. In such sharing, replacement work of a secondary battery of an electric two-wheeled vehicle including an electrically assisted bicycle is a problem. In the case of sharing, a large number of electric two-wheeled vehicles may be scattered and parked in a wide range. In such a case, it is troublesome for the staff to go around and replace the secondary battery. Therefore, in the configuration disclosed in Patent Document 1, as described above, when the electric two-wheeled vehicle is parked on the base by devising the method for charging the electric two-wheeled vehicle, the electric two-wheeled vehicle is provided on the base. The electric motorcycle is charged from the contactless power supply device.

If the remaining energy level of a lean vehicle with a power source including an electric two-wheeled vehicle falls below a lower limit value that can be used with the lean vehicle with a power source, the lean vehicle with a power source cannot be used. Therefore, it is required to control the remaining amount of energy so that the remaining amount of energy of the lean vehicle with a power source does not fall below the usable lower limit value.

By the way, if the number of bases disclosed in Patent Document 1 is increased, the number of lean vehicles with a power source that utilize the base also increases. Therefore, it is required to control the amount of energy so that the remaining amount of energy of the lean vehicle with the power source as much as possible does not fall below the lower limit value in which the lean vehicle with the power source can be used.

The present invention provides an energy amount control device for a lean vehicle with a power source, which can efficiently perform energy management of a lean vehicle with a power source, by using energy remaining amount related data related to the remaining energy amount of a lean vehicle with a power source. The purpose is to provide.

The present inventors examined in detail the rental situation of the lean vehicle with a power source in order to further improve the energy management efficiency of the lean vehicle with a power source in the sharing of the lean vehicle with a power source.

First, the present inventors examined the characteristics of a lean vehicle with a power source. As a result, the present inventors have obtained the following findings regarding the characteristics of the lean vehicle with a power source.

Since the lean vehicle with a power source has a power source, it is used for traveling a longer distance than a bicycle without a power source. Further, since a lean vehicle with a power source is easier to handle than a four-wheeled vehicle, it is also used for short-distance movement like a bicycle. As described above, the lean vehicle with a power source is used in a wide traveling range from short-distance movement to long-distance movement. Further, the lean vehicle with a power source has a smaller amount of energy to be loaded than a four-wheel vehicle.

Next, the present inventors examined sharing of the lean vehicle with a power source. As a result, the present inventors have obtained the following findings regarding the sharing of the lean vehicle with a power source.

When sharing a plurality of lean vehicles with a power source using the base as in Patent Document 1 above, the remaining energy levels of the lean vehicles with a plurality of power sources vary depending on the distance traveled. When the energy remaining amount of the lean vehicle with a power source falls below a lower limit value at which the lean vehicle with a power source can be used, the lean vehicle with a power source cannot be used. Therefore, it is required to control the remaining amount of energy so that the remaining amount of energy of the lean vehicle with a power source does not fall below the usable lower limit value.

By the way, if the number of the bases is increased, the number of lean vehicles with power sources that utilize the bases also increases. Therefore, the inventors have found that it is necessary to control the amount of energy so that the amount of energy of the lean vehicle with a power source does not fall below a lower limit value in which the lean vehicle with a power source can be used. ..

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, it is generally considered that the maximum load energy capacity of the lean vehicle with a power source is increased, or the lean vehicle with a power source with a small remaining energy is frequently charged with energy. ..

However, the present inventors conducted a study from a viewpoint different from the above-mentioned maximum load energy capacity and frequency of energy charge.

That is, the inventors of the present invention consider not the idea of increasing the energy of the lean vehicle with a power source with a small remaining amount of energy left in the base but the idea of maximally utilizing the energy left in the lean vehicle with a power source. did.

As a result of the study, the present inventors have come up with a method of managing the remaining energy level of a lean vehicle with a power source. Specifically, the lean vehicle with a power source is rented out until the remaining energy amount reaches an amount that affects the running of the lean vehicle with a power source, and the remaining energy amount is used for running the lean vehicle with a power source. When the remaining amount is less than or equal to a predetermined remaining amount, the lean vehicle with a power source is charged with energy. As a result, the energy remaining in the lean vehicle with a power source can be utilized to the maximum extent.

However, in this case, if the number of lean vehicles with a power source increases, the number of lean vehicles with a power source that manages the remaining amount of energy also increases. Therefore, the load of managing the remaining amount of energy in the lean vehicle with a power source increases.

The inventors further studied a method of maximally utilizing the energy left in the lean vehicle with a power source without increasing the load of managing the remaining amount of energy in the lean vehicle with a power source.

The inventors examined, for example, a scene in which a lean vehicle with a power source moves from a movement start point A to a movement end point B. While proceeding with the study, the inventors of the present invention, of the lean vehicle with a power source parked in a plurality of bases near the movement start point A, the remaining energy level of the lean vehicle with a power source that can reach the movement end point B. I noticed that there are variations. That is, the inventors have found that among the lean vehicles with a power source that can reach the movement ending point B, there are lean vehicles with a power source that have a sufficient margin of energy, but there is not enough margin of energy remaining. I also noticed that there are lean vehicles with a power source.

The inventors of the present invention, while further studying, in the sharing of the lean vehicle with a power source, among the lean vehicles with a power source parked in a plurality of units on one base, the lean vehicle with a power source having a large energy remaining amount. It turns out that vehicles tend to be selected.

Moreover, the present inventors have found that the lean vehicle with a power source, which has a small amount of remaining energy, is left behind in the base even though the movement ending point B can be reached. That is, the present inventors have found that a lean vehicle with a power source, which has a small amount of remaining energy, is left behind in the base.

Therefore, I thought that if the lean vehicle with a power source that does not have much energy remaining is selected, the energy remaining in the lean vehicle with a power source can be utilized to the maximum extent.

Based on such an idea, the inventors of the present invention have obtained data regarding the movement start point A and the movement end point B and data regarding the remaining energy level of the lean vehicle with a power source parked at the base near the movement start point A. The lean vehicle energy remaining amount-base related data including the combination of the power sources is set so that at least one of the data relating to the movement starting point A, the data relating to the movement ending point B and the data relating to the energy remaining amount is different. , Came up with multiple generations.

As a result, at least one of the data regarding the movement start point A and the movement end point B and the data regarding the remaining amount of energy of the lean vehicle with a power source existing at the base near the movement start point A are moved from the movement start point A. Multiple lean lean vehicle energy balance-base related data, including travel routes to end point B, may be presented as multiple options.

Therefore, by using the energy remaining amount related data related to the energy remaining amount of the lean vehicle with power source, the energy management of the lean vehicle with power source can be made efficient.
