Vehicle

Abstract

The disclosed vehicle having at least pairing left and right wheels does not change in position, does not generate unnecessary vibrations, and does not require incline control when stopped, thus said vehicle is very safe, provides good ride quality and those riding therein do not feel any discomfort. The vehicle comprises: a vehicle provided with a drive unit and a steering unit which are connected to one another; a steering wheel for steering the vehicle; a drive wheel for driving the vehicle; a tilting actuator device for tilting a steering unit or a drive unit in the turning direction; a tilting brake device for stopping the tilting operation of the vehicle; a lateral acceleration sensor; and a control device. The control device controls so as to tilt in the turning direction on the basis of the lateral acceleration detected by the lateral acceleration sensor, and when the vehicle is stopped the control device stops the control of the vehicle tilt and operates the titling brake device and locks the position of the vehicle.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a vehicle having at least a pair of left and right wheels. Background technique [0002] In recent years, fuel economy of vehicles has been strongly demanded in view of the depletion of energy resources. On the other hand, the number of owners of vehicles has increased due to the reduction in the price of vehicles, and there is a tendency for one person to own one vehicle. Therefore, for example, there is a problem that energy is wasted uselessly because only one driver drives a four-seater vehicle. It can be said that it is most effective to configure the vehicle in the form of a single-seater tricycle or four-wheel vehicle for saving fuel consumption due to downsizing of the vehicle. [0003] However, depending on the driving conditions, the stability of the vehicle may sometimes decrease. Therefore, there has been proposed a technique for improving the stability of the vehicle when turning by tilting the vehicle b...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, in the above-mentioned conventional vehicles, since the tilt control of the vehicle body is performed even when the vehicle is parked, it is necessary to continue to operate the tilt actuator device in order to maintain a constant tilt state especially after a long period of parking. , so that the power consumption increases

In addition, since the tilting actuator device is continuously controlled to maintain a constant tilting state, minute vibrations due to noise of the control system, etc. are generated, and passengers may feel uncomfortable or uneasy.
