In addition, it should be noted that, for the convenience of description, only the parts that are related to the present invention are shown in the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a partial structural schematic view of a vehicle provided by the present invention. The vehicle may be a bicycle, a self-balance vehicle, a scooter, a motorcycle, and the like. The vehicle with a handlebar may be electrically or mechanically powered. Common features of these vehicles include a handlebar with a beam or in a bar shape, a steerer tube forming a T-shaped connection with the handlebar, and a front wheel (s) directly or indirectly connected to the steerer tube. When a user is riding the vehicle, two ends of the handlebar may be held by user’s hands, and the handlebar may be pivoted to adjust the moving direction of the vehicle.
As show in FIG. 1, the vehicle 100 may include a vehicle body, one or more wheels, a handlebar 12 and a steerer tube 22. The steerer tube 22 may form a T-shaped connection with the handlebar 12.
The handlebar 12 may include a left handle 13 ( “first handle” ) and a right handle 14 ( “second handle” ) . The left handle 13 and the right handle 14 are disposed at the ends of the handlebar 12. Moreover, the end of the left handle may be provided with a left light A ( “first light” ) , and the end of the right handle may be provided with a right light B ( “second light” ) . In FIG. 1, the left light A and the right light B are not shown because they are hidden in the left handle 13 and the right handle 14, respectively.
As an example, the left handle 13 and the right handle 14 may be hollow cylinders. The left light A is mounted to a hollow portion at the left end of the handlebar; the right light B is mounted to a hollow portion at the right end of the handlebar.
The left light A and the right light B may be configured to indicate the turning direction of the vehicle 100. The left light A and the right lights B may also be used for other functions such as illumination, decoration and the like. For example, the colors of the lights emitted by the left light A and the right light B may be the same or different; the brightness of the lights emitted by the left light A and the right light B may be automatically adjusted according to the brightness of ambient light. To this end, the vehicle 100 may be provided with a light sensor 23 and a controller 24 thereon. The light sensor may sense the brightness of ambient light around the vehicle 100, and feedback the brightness information to the controller 24 of the vehicle 100, the controller may then adjust the brightness of the left light A and the right light B.
FIG. 2A is a partial structural schematic view of a vehicle that has light covers on its handlebar as provided by the present invention, and a schematic circuit diagram (exploded view) . FIG. 2B is a schematic view (assembly view) of the structure of a handlebar with light covers as provided in the present invention. The left light A and the right light B may be mounted at an end of the left handle and an end of the right handle, respectively. The handlebar 12 may further include a left light cover 19 and a right light cover 20. The left light cover 19 may be mounted at the end of the left handle and covers the left light A, and the right light cover 20 may be mounted at the end of the right handle and covers the right light B. It should be noted that the left light cover 19 and the left light A may be two independent components or an integral unit including these two components; similarly the right light cover 20 and the right light B may be two individual components or an integral unit including these two components. During operation of the vehicle, the left light cover 19 and the right light cover 20 may be easily damaged due to frequent collisions with other things. In such a case, they may be configured as two separate components to protect the left and right lights, as well as facilitate the replacement. According to some embodiments, the trigger 21 may be a bidirectional switch. The switch lever 0-0' of the trigger is positioned in a middle position, and both the left light A and the right light B are turned off. When the switch lever is pivoted downward, 0-0' connects the left light A to the battery C, and thus the left light light is turned on. When the switch lever is pivoted upward, the 0-0' connects the right light B to the battery C, and thus the right light is turned on.
FIGs. 3A-3E are structural views of a light cover 300 provided by the present invention. FIG. 3A is a perspective view of the light cover 300. FIG. 3B is a front view of the light cover 300. FIG. 3C is a left view of the light cover 300. FIG. 3D is a top view of the light cover 300. FIG. 3E is a sectional view of the light cover 300. The light cover 300 may be the structure of the left light cover 19 or the structure of the right light cover 20. The light cover 30 may include a light cover body 34, a tip 30, a light accommodating space 38, a light stop 35, and a fixing hole 36. The light cover body 34 may be in a cylindrical shape, and may have a shape that matches the shape of an inner cavity of the handlebar 12, so as to facilitate inserting it into the inner cavity of the handlebar 12. The tip 30 may be located at one end of the light cover body 34, and may have a diameter that is larger than that of the light cover body 34. Thus, when the light cover 300 is mounted to the handlebar 12, a limiting surface 32 may abut against an end face of the handlebar to prevent the light cover 300 from moving further into the inner cavity of the handlebar 12. The light cover body may include the light accommodating space 38. Thus, when the light cover 300 is mounted to the handlebar 12, the lights A, B may enter the light accommodating space 38 and abut against the light stop 35. Further, the light cover 300 may be fixed to the handlebar 12 by screws through the fixing holes 36.
The left light cover 19 may be translucent, so the light is scattered when passing through the left light cover 19; the right light cover 20 may also be translucent, so the light is scattered when passing through the right light cover 20. As an example, the material of the left and right light covers 19, 20 may be an impact resistant material, such as latex, rubber, plastic, plexiglass (acrylic) , and the like.
It is understood that the left handle 13 and the right handle 14 may be the same or different; the left handle end and the right handle end may be the same or different; the left light A and the right light B may be the same or different; and the left light cover 19 and the right light cover 20 may be the same or different.
In some embodiments, the handlebar 12 may further include a trigger 21 that is electrically connected to the left light A and the right light B to control the left light A and the right light B to be turned on or off. The trigger 21 may be mounted on the left handle 13 and/or the right handle 14 according to user habits. As shown in this figure, the trigger 21 is mounted on the right handle 14.
The trigger 21 may be a button, a knob, a switch lever, or the like. The trigger 21 will be further described below using the switch lever as an example.
When the switch lever is turned from an initial position along a first direction (such as downward) to a first position, the switch lever may control the left light A to be turned on; when the switch lever is turned from the initial position along a second direction (such as upward) to a second position, the switch lever may control the right light B to be turned on. Moreover, when the left light A is turned on, the left light A may either continuously emit light or blink; similarly when the right light B is turned on, the right light B may rather continuously emit light or blink.
When the switch lever is reset from the first position to the initial position, the switch lever may control the left light A to be turned off; similarly when the switch lever is reset from the second position to the initial position, the switch lever may control the right light B to be turned off. When the switch lever is in the initial position, both the left and right lights are turned off.
The first direction may be different from the second direction. For example, the first direction is upward and the second direction is downward; or the first direction is downward and the second direction is upward. The first direction is clockwise and the second direction is counterclockwise. The first position and the second position may be different, and the first position and the second position are both different from the initial position.
It is understood that the first position described above may be a specific location or a non-specific position. For example, the first position may be a specific position, and only when the switch lever is turned in a first direction by a specific angle, wherein the specific angle corresponds to a specific position, the left light A is then turned on. In another example, the first position may be a non-specific position; in this case, as long as the switch lever is turned in a first direction by an angle within a certain range, wherein this angle range corresponds to a non-specific position, the left light A will be turned on. Similarly, the second position may be a specific position or a non-specific position.
In some embodiments, the vehicle 100 may further include a sensor (not shown) along with the controller 24. The sensor may be mounted on the steerer tube 22 and/or the body of the vehicle 100, and the controller 24 may be mounted on the steerer tube 22. In the present invention, the sensor may be a gyroscope, a steering device, a radar, or the like. The controller 24 may be a central processing unit (CPU) , an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) , an application-specific instruction-set processor (ASIP) , a microcontroller unit, a reduced instruction-set computer (RISC) , a microprocessor or the like.
The sensor may detect that the steerer tube 22 is pivoted and/or the vehicle body is tilted. Herein the pivot of the steerer tube 22 and/or the tilt of the vehicle body are referred to as a detection result of the sensor. In the case where the left light A or the right light B are turned on, the controller 24 may, according to the detection result of the sensor, correspondingly control the left light A or the right light B to be turned off. In the case where the left light A or the right light B are turned off, the controller 24 may, according to the detection result of the sensor, correspondingly control the left light A and/or the right light B to be turned on.
For example, when the vehicle 100 is running, if the vehicle 100 turns, the steerer tube 22 may pivot to the left (that is, a first pivot, in other words, pivot counterclockwise by a certain angle) or pivot to the right (that is, a second pivot, in other words, pivot clockwise by a certain angle) , the sensor may detect the left pivot/turn or the right turn/pivot. Moreover, when the vehicle 100 turns rapidly, the vehicle body may tilt to the left (that is, a first tilt, for example, tilt to the left by an angle) or tilted to the right (that is, a second tilt, for example, tilt to the right by an angle) , the sensor may detect the left tilt or the right tilt. Thus, the controller 24 may, according to the detection result of the sensor, control the left light A and/or the right light B to be turned on and/or off. As for the specific angle of the tilt, it may be determined according to the actual use situation, which is not limited by the present invention.
It is understood that when the vehicle 100 is running, in addition to the case where the vehicle 100 is turning, in other cases such as when the vehicle 100 is trying to avoid hitting a pedestrian, the steerer tube 22 may also pivot/turn to the left or to the right, and the vehicle body may also has a tilt to the left or to the right. However, in such a case, the vehicle 100 is not intended to be turned, and the resulting left or right pivot of the steerer tube 22 would be relatively small, and/or the left or right pivot of the steerer tube 22 may only last a very short period of time. Similarly, the left or right tilt of the vehicle body may only last a very short period of time.
In light of the foregoing, in order to prevent the controller 24 from erroneously turning on or off the left light A and the right light B, the left pivot or right pivot of the steerer tube 22 and the left tilt and right tilt of the vehicle body should satisfy certain conditions. For example, the controller 24 may preset a range for the left pivot or right pivot of the steerer tube 22 and a range for the left tilt and right tilt of the vehicle body. Within the respective preset ranges, the controller 24 may determine that the vehicle is still moving straight forward; while beyond the respective preset ranges, the controller 24 may determine that the vehicle has changed its moving direction, thus turning on or off the turn signal light in the corresponding direction.
In another example, the controller 24 may preset a lasting time period for the left pivot or right pivot of the steerer tube 22 and a lasting time period for the left tilt and right tilt of the vehicle body. In this way, when the vehicle 100 turns to the left or right, or tilts to the left or right within the preset time period, the controller 24 may determine that the vehicle is still moving straightly, and the vehicle does not change its moving direction; when the vehicle 100 turns to the left or right, or tilts to the left or right beyond the preset time period, the controller 24 may determine the vehicle has changed its moving direction, thus turning on or off the turn signal light in the corresponding direction.
For the factors including the left or right pivot, left or right tilt and the lasting time period thereof, the vehicle may determine whether the moving direction of the vehicle is changed according to a single one of these factors; alternatively, the vehicle may determine whether the moving direction of the vehicle is changed according to any combination of the left or right pivot, left or right tilt and the lasting time period thereof. Moreover, the pivot ranges, tilt ranges and lasting time periods may be set empirically or based on big data statistics.
The following is a specific example where the controller 24 controls the left light A and/or the right light B to be turned on or off according to the detection result of the sensor.
When the steerer tube 22 turns leftward from 0° to more than 5°, or the vehicle body tilts leftward from an upright position for more than 3°, or the steerer tube turns leftward beyond its corresponding threshold and meanwhile the vehicle body tilts leftward beyond its corresponding threshold, the controller 24 may determine that the vehicle 100 is turning to the left, and then may control the left light A to be turned on so as to warm pedestrians and drivers that the vehicle is turning left. When the steerer tube turns rightward from 0° to more than 5°, or the vehicle body tilts rightward from an upright position for more than 3°, or the steerer tube turns rightward beyond its corresponding threshold and meanwhile the vehicle body tilts rightward beyond its corresponding threshold, the controller 24 may determine that the vehicle 100 is turning to the right, and then may control the right light B to be turned on so as to warn pedestrians that the vehicle is turning right.
When the time period during which the steerer tube is returning from left pivot of more than 5° to 0° lasts longer than a preset time period, or the time period during which the vehicle body is returning from left tilt of more than 3° to the upright position lasts longer than a preset time period, or these two last longer than their respective preset time periods, the controller 24 may determine that the vehicle 100 has completed the left turn and is moving straightly, thus may control the left light A to be turned off. When the time period during which the steerer tube is returning from right pivot of more than 5°to 0° lasts longer than a preset time period, or the time period during which the vehicle body is returning from right tilt of more than 3° to the upright position lasts longer than a preset time period, or these two last longer than their respective preset time periods, the controller 24 may determine that the vehicle 100 has completed the right turn and is moving straightly; thus may control the right light B to be turned off. In the present invention, these preset time periods may be one second, two seconds, three seconds, or the like.
The controller 24 may immediately turn on the corresponding turn signal light when determining that the vehicle is making a turn, or immediately turn off the corresponding turn signal light when determining that the vehicle is changing from making a turn to moving straightly. Alternatively, the vehicle may turn on or off the corresponding turn signal light after a preset time period. For example, when the controller 24 determines that the vehicle is making a right turn, it may turn on the right light B immediately to indicate that the vehicle 100 is turning right. When the controller 24 determines that the vehicle is changing from right turn to moving straightly, it may turn off the right light after a preset time period. The preset time period can be manually set, for example, one second, two seconds, or three seconds. The preset time period may delay turning off the left light A or the right light B, thereby ensuring that the turn signal indicated by the left light A or the right light B is correct.
In some embodiments, the vehicle 100 may further include a position locator (not shown) for detecting the position of the vehicle 100. The position locator may be a GPS locator. For example, if the vehicle 100 will travel according to a preset route, the preset route may be input to the position locator in advance. The controller 24 may automatically control the left and right lights A and B to be turned on or off based on the position of the vehicle 100 and the preset route of the vehicle 100. For example, the controller 24 may, based on a current location of the vehicle 100, determine the current location in a preset route, and when the current position in the preset route has a turn, for example, when it is determined that the vehicle will make a turn in a preset time (such as 5 seconds) based on the current location and speed of the vehicle, the controller 24 may control the left light A or the right light B to be turned on. When the vehicle completes the turn, the controller 24 may then control the left light A or the right light B to be turned off.
In some embodiments, the vehicle 100 may further include a voice receiver (not shown) for receiving voice commands. The controller 24 may control the left light A and the right light B to be turned on or off based on the respective voice commands. For example, a user may issue a voice command, such as “turn on left light” , “turn on right light” , “turn on left light and right light” , “turn off left light” , “turn off right light” , “turn off left light and right light” ; the voice receiver may receive the voice command, and then the controller 24 may control the left light A and/or turn on or off the right light B to be turned on or off according to the voice command.
It is understood that the figures in the application and the above description are merely certain examples, and that the vehicle 100 may have some modifications, which are within the scope of the present invention. For example, the controller 24 may be mounted on the vehicle body.
The above embodiments merely describe the basic principles and features of the present invention. The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes and modifications may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. These changes and modifications all fall within the scope of the present invention. Hence, the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and equivalents.
