Locking system and unlocking method for electric bicycle

Abstract

The present invention provides a locking system and an unlocking method for an electric bicycle that can be unlocked by a person who holds the unlocking device, can be unlocked without performing a manual unlocking operation, and can prevent the battery from being reduced in electric power consumption without using an electric bicycle. . The locking system for the electric bicycle is configured asfollows, and is provided with a portable unlocking device (50) that transmits a lock signal including the inherent identification information and unlocks the lock device (30), with respect to the lock device (30). The locked electric bicycle can be unlocked by transmitting an unlocking signal from the unlocking device (50). The electric bicycle is provided with a main body communication unit (41)that communicates with the unlocking device (50), a power button that turns the power supply from the battery (8) on and off, and an unlock control unit (42), and is pressed by the power button. Turning on, power is supplied from the battery (8) to the main body communication unit (41) and the unlocking control unit (42), and the unlocking control unit (42) causes the lock device (30) to be unlocked when receiving the unlocking signal from the unlocking device.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a locking system and an unlocking method arranged on an electric bicycle. Background technique [0002] In recent years, in automobiles, a system that is also called a smart key system and has a function of locking and unlocking (also called unlocking) the car door without contacting an unlocking unit such as a key is being put into practical use (Patent Document 1 Wait). In this smart key system, a transmission unit that can transmit identification number information of the vehicle, etc. is provided in the unlocking device corresponding to the key, and a lock device having a receiving unit and a control unit that can receive identification number information, etc., and the like are provided in the vehicle. Its power supply battery, etc. The receiving unit and the control unit of the automobile are always energized with the battery as the power source, and are on standby in a state capable of receiving signals from the unlock...

Problems solved by technology

[0010] However, in an electric bicycle, when the storage battery is used as a power source to always supply power to the receiving part and the control part of the lock device, even if the electric bicycle is not used, the storage capacity of the battery will gradually decrease. Therefore, the auxiliary driving force of the electric bicycle is added. The distance that can be driven is reduced
