Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of vehicle locks, and in particular to a control method and control system for a vehicle head lock. Background Art

[0002] Currently in the field of two-wheeled vehicles, especially in automatic vehicles and motorcycles, the head lock has been widely used as the most common anti-theft means. The commonly used head locks include two types: mechanical head locks and electronic head locks. The mechanical head lock uses a key to turn the lock core, and the lock core drives the lock tongue to stretch and retract to achieve the purpose of unlocking and locking. Because it adopts a pure mechanical structure and has a simple structure, operating the mechanical head lock itself is safe and reliable, but there are also obvious disadvantages. On the one hand, it is necessary to carry a key, and it is easy to forget to carry it and unable to drive the vehicle. On the other hand, it is necessary to manually perform unlocking and locking operations, which is relatively cumbersome. In short, using a mechanical head lock has the problem of inconvenient operation. The electronic head lock has been widely used because of its convenience, and the main control unit can directly send locking or unlocking instructions according to requirements to realize the automation of locking or unlocking of the electronic head lock. However, its current control method has many security risks. For example, there is a risk of accidental triggering of the electronic head lock during riding, and problems such as vehicle breakdown after the electronic head lock fails.

[0003] Therefore, the control logic and security strategy of the electronic head lock are very important. Once an error occurs, if the vehicle is not correctly unlocked during riding, it is easy to cause traffic accidents, and if the vehicle is not correctly locked when parked, there is a risk of theft. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a control method and control system for a head lock. This method reduces the risks of accidental triggering and failure to correctly lock the electronic head lock through various control strategies and security guarantee mechanisms, and improves the safety of using the vehicle.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A control method for a head lock includes the following steps:

[0007] Step 1: According to the opening and closing of the ignition switch or a remote control instruction, the main control unit sends an unlocking or locking action instruction;

[0008] Step 2: The head lock executes the action instruction;

[0009] Step 3: Monitor the execution result of the head lock and give a vehicle usage feedback according to the execution result;

[0010] Further, when the ignition switch is turned on, an unlocking instruction is automatically sent, and when the ignition switch is turned off, a locking instruction is automatically sent;

[0011] Furthermore, the sending of the action instruction triggers the power-on of the handlebar lock, supplies power to the handlebar lock, and sends the action instruction to the handlebar lock. After the sending of the action instruction is completed, the power of the handlebar lock is turned off, and the power supply to the handlebar lock is stopped; by setting the power-off of the handlebar lock, it is possible to avoid safety accidents caused by the accidental triggering of the handlebar lock.

[0012] Furthermore, when the power of the handlebar lock is turned on, an action instruction is sent to the handlebar lock after a certain delay; by delaying the sending time of the action instruction, it is ensured that the initialization of the handlebar lock is completed after power-on, so that the action instruction can be accurately delivered.

[0013] Furthermore, when an emergency interruption event occurs, the power of the handlebar lock is turned off, and no action instruction is sent to the handlebar lock. The emergency interruption events include that the vehicle speed is greater than 0, a locking instruction is received when the ignition switch is on, and an unlocking instruction is received when the ignition switch is off; when the vehicle speed is greater than 0, it means that the vehicle is in a riding state, and the operation of high-power components including the driving motor on the vehicle will generate electromagnetic interference to the communication signal, affecting the accuracy of the action instruction sending and status feedback. Locking when the ignition switch is on does not conform to the set vehicle usage logic and is prone to safety accidents. Similarly, unlocking when the ignition switch is off does not conform to the parking logic and is prone to vehicle theft.

[0014] Furthermore, the handlebar lock executes the action instruction in an automatic or manual manner. The automatic method refers to the method of automatically executing the action instruction sent by the main control unit, and the manual method refers to the method of manually operating the key to unlock the handlebar lock; adding a manual emergency execution method to the automatic execution improves the flexibility of vehicle use.

[0015] Furthermore, under the unlocking instruction, the execution result is obtained through tongue monitoring, automatic monitoring, and manual monitoring. The tongue monitoring is to monitor the position of the tongue to judge whether the tongue is in the unlocked or locked state. The automatic monitoring is to monitor whether there is an automatic unlocking drive or an automatic locking drive. The manual monitoring is to monitor whether there is a manual unlocking situation. When it is monitored that the tongue is in the unlocked state and there is an automatic unlocking drive or / and a manual unlocking situation, it is a normal unlocking. When it is monitored that the tongue is in the non-unlocked state but there is a manual unlocking situation, it is an abnormal unlocking. When it is monitored that the tongue is in the non-unlocked state and there is no manual unlocking situation, it is an un-unlocked state.

[0016] Further, when the execution result is normal unlocking, the vehicle is in a normal riding state, and full-speed riding is possible in the normal riding state. When the execution result is abnormal unlocking, the unlocking instruction is resend and the execution result is monitored. After the number of times of resending the unlocking instruction reaches the upper limit, if the execution result is monitored as abnormal unlocking, the vehicle is in a speed-limited riding state, and speed-limited riding is possible in the speed-limited riding state. If the monitored execution result does not conform to abnormal unlocking or conforms to non-unlocking, the vehicle is in a prohibited riding state, and riding is not allowed in the prohibited riding state;

[0017] Further, when the execution result is abnormal unlocking, a reaction time is set before resending the unlocking instruction. During the reaction time, the lock tongue monitoring, automatic monitoring and manual monitoring are carried out, and the execution result of the handlebar lock is fed back; by setting the reaction time, it provides a human adjustment time for the lock tongue of the handlebar lock to be accidentally stuck, solves the problem that the lock tongue of the existing automatic vehicle is often accidentally stuck, and improves the accuracy of the execution result feedback and the success rate of unlocking;

[0018] Further, under the locking instruction, the execution result is obtained through lock tongue monitoring and automatic monitoring. The lock tongue monitoring is to monitor the position of the lock tongue to judge whether the lock tongue is in the unlocking or locking state. The automatic monitoring is to monitor whether there is an automatic unlocking drive or an automatic locking drive. When it is monitored that the lock tongue is in the locking state and there is an automatic locking drive, it is normal locking, otherwise, it is abnormal locking;

[0019] Further, when the execution result is normal locking, the vehicle is in a locked state. When the execution result is abnormal locking, the locking instruction is resend and the execution result is monitored. After the number of times of resending the locking instruction reaches the upper limit, if the execution result is monitored as abnormal locking, the vehicle is in an unlocked state;

[0020] Further, when the execution result is abnormal locking, a reaction time is set before resending the locking instruction. During the reaction time, the lock tongue monitoring and automatic monitoring are carried out, and the execution result of the handlebar lock is fed back; by setting the reaction time, it provides a human adjustment time for the lock tongue of the handlebar lock to be accidentally stuck and unable to be locked, and improves the accuracy of the execution result feedback and the success rate of unlocking.

[0021] A control system for a handlebar lock includes a throttle, a handlebar lock, a sensing unit and a main control unit. The main control unit is respectively communicatively connected to the throttle, the sensing unit and the handlebar lock;

[0022] The throttle is the start switch of the vehicle and is used for starting and shutting down the vehicle;

[0023] The handlebar lock is used to execute the action instructions of unlocking or locking;

[0024] The sensing unit is used to monitor the execution result of the handle lock for the action instruction and feedback the execution result to the main control unit.

[0025] The main control unit is used to send an unlocking or locking action instruction to the handle lock according to the opening and closing of the switch or a remote control instruction, and perform vehicle usage feedback according to the execution result of the handle lock for the action instruction.

[0026] Further, the handle lock includes an automatic module, a manual module and a lock tongue. The automatic module includes a driving mechanism and an automatic bracket that moves linearly under the drive of the driving mechanism. The manual module includes a manual bracket and a manual mechanism that drives the manual bracket to move linearly. The manual bracket is movably arranged linearly on the automatic bracket, and the linear movement direction of the manual bracket is the same as the linear movement direction of the automatic bracket. A first elastic member is arranged on the automatic bracket and abuts against one end of the manual bracket. The lock tongue is arranged at the other end of the manual bracket. A second elastic member is sleeved on the lock tongue. The second elastic member abuts against the other end of the manual bracket, and the elastic force direction of the second elastic member acting on the manual bracket is opposite to the elastic force direction of the first elastic member acting on the manual bracket. In the automatic unlocking and locking of the handle lock, the automatic bracket moves linearly under the action of the driving mechanism. The linear movement of the automatic bracket drives the manual bracket to move through the first elastic member. The movement of the manual bracket drives the lock tongue to extend and retract, so as to realize the automatic unlocking and locking of the handle lock. In the manual unlocking of the handle lock, the manual bracket moves linearly under the action of the manual mechanism. The movement of the manual bracket drives the lock tongue to extend, so as to realize the manual unlocking of the handle lock.

[0027] Further, the driving mechanism includes a rotating mechanism and a first turntable. The rotating mechanism is drivingly connected to the first turntable. A first guide post is eccentrically arranged on the first turntable. The first guide post is directly or indirectly abutted against the automatic bracket in its moving track direction. By driving the first turntable to rotate through the rotating mechanism, the rotation of the first turntable drives the first guide post to move along an arc track. Through the abutting cooperation between the first guide post and the automatic bracket in its moving track direction, the automatic bracket is urged to move linearly under the pushing of the first guide post.

[0028] Further, the manual mechanism includes a lock core and a second turntable. The lock core is fixedly connected to the second turntable. A second guide post is eccentrically arranged on the second turntable. The second guide post is directly or indirectly abutted against the manual bracket in one of its moving track directions. The rotation of the lock core drives the second turntable to rotate. The rotation of the second turntable drives the second guide post to move along an arc track. Through the abutting cooperation between the second guide post and the manual bracket in one of its moving track directions, the manual bracket is urged to move linearly in a single direction under the pushing of the second guide post.

[0029] Further, the sensing unit includes a bolt monitoring module, an automatic monitoring module, and a manual monitoring module. The bolt monitoring module determines whether the bolt is in the unlocked or locked state by monitoring the position of the bolt. The automatic monitoring module is used to monitor whether there is an automatic unlocking drive or an automatic locking drive. The manual monitoring module is used to monitor whether there is a manual unlocking situation;

[0030] Further, the bolt monitoring module includes a first Hall sensor and a first magnet disposed on the manual bracket; the bolt is fixedly disposed on the manual bracket, and the linear movement of the manual bracket is equivalent to the telescopic movement of the bolt. A first magnet is disposed on the manual bracket, and first Hall sensors are respectively disposed corresponding to the unlocked position and the locked position. When the first Hall sensor at the unlocked position detects the first magnet, the bolt is in the unlocked position. When the first Hall sensor at the locked position detects the first magnet, the bolt is in the locked position;

[0031] Further, the automatic monitoring module includes a second Hall sensor and a second magnet disposed on the automatic bracket; in the automatic module, the linear movement of the automatic bracket means the occurrence of an automatic drive. Therefore, monitoring the movement of the automatic bracket can obtain whether there is an automatic drive situation. A second magnet is disposed on the automatic bracket, and second Hall sensors are respectively disposed corresponding to the unlocked position and the locked position. When the second Hall sensor at the unlocked position detects the second magnet, the automatic module performs an unlocking drive. When the second Hall sensor at the locked position detects the second magnet, the automatic module performs a locking drive;

[0032] Further, the manual monitoring module includes a boss disposed on the second turntable, a switch disposed on the manual bracket, and a conductor at one end of the switch; for manual unlocking, when the lock core drives the second turntable to rotate to the unlocked position, the boss on the second turntable abuts the conductor, causing the conductor to press the switch contact, making the switch in the off state conductive, and realizing the output of the unlocking signal, thereby the manual unlocking situation;

[0033] Further, the main control unit includes a power controller, and the power controller is communicatively connected to the power supply of the handlebar lock. The power supply of the handlebar lock is used to supply power to the handlebar lock, and the power supply on-off of the handlebar lock is controlled through the power controller;

[0034] Further, it includes a motor controller for driving the vehicle to move. The motor controller is communicatively connected to the main control unit. The motor controller feeds back vehicle speed information to the main control unit, and the main control unit sends a vehicle speed control instruction to the motor controller, thereby implementing a vehicle usage state adapted to the execution result.

[0035] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0036] 1) The faucet lock is automatically unlocked and locked through remote control commands or the opening and closing of the ignition, which facilitates the use of the vehicle. The faucet lock is automatically unlocked when the ignition is turned on, and automatically locked when the ignition is turned off, so that manual unlocking and locking operations are not required during the use of the vehicle, which facilitates the use of the vehicle and realizes non-sensing anti-theft operations;

[0037] 2) By turning the power on and off the steering lock, the risk of accidental triggering of the steering lock is reduced, thereby improving vehicle safety. After an action instruction that meets the requirements for safe vehicle use is issued, the steering lock power is turned on, power is supplied to the steering lock, and the action instruction is sent to the steering lock. After the action instruction is sent, the steering lock power is turned off, and power supply to the steering lock is stopped, thereby avoiding safety accidents caused by accidental triggering of the steering lock during vehicle riding and vehicle theft caused by accidental triggering of the steering lock after the vehicle stops being used. After an action instruction that does not meet the requirements for safe vehicle use is issued, the steering lock is directly powered off and the action instruction is not executed.

[0038] 3) It provides an automatic execution mode and a manual emergency mode for the steering lock, and at the same time detects the automatic execution results and manual emergency execution results of the steering lock and uses the vehicle for feedback, which improves vehicle safety. Monitor whether the lock tongue is in an unlocked or locked state, monitor whether there is an automatic unlocking drive or an automatic locking drive, and monitor whether there is a manual unlocking situation; when the lock tongue is detected to be in an unlocked state, and there is an automatic unlocking drive or / and a manual unlocking situation, it is a normal unlocking, and normal vehicle use feedback is given for normal unlocking, and full-speed riding is allowed. When the lock tongue is detected to be in a non-unlocked state, but there is a manual unlocking situation, it is an abnormal unlocking, and abnormal vehicle use feedback is given for abnormal unlocking, and speed-limited riding is allowed. When the lock tongue is detected to be in a non-unlocked state, and there is no manual unlocking situation, it is not unlocked, and vehicle use prohibition feedback is given for not unlocking, and riding is prohibited. When the lock tongue is detected to be in a locked state, and there is an automatic locking drive, it is a normal locking, and the vehicle is in a locked state. Otherwise, it is an abnormal locking, and the vehicle is in an unlocked state, and attention should be paid to anti-theft.

[0039] 4) When abnormal unlocking and abnormal locking are detected, the retry control process is optimized to improve the accuracy of execution result feedback and the success rate of execution. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0047] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms indicating the orientation or the positional relationship are based on the orientation or the positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus cannot be understood as a limitation to the present invention.

[0048] The principles and features of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that the drawings are all in a very simplified form and use non-precise scales, and are only used to conveniently and clearly assist in explaining the purpose of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0049] In an embodiment of the present invention, the control system of the faucet lock includes an ignition switch, a faucet lock, a sensing unit, a motor controller, and a main control unit. The main control unit is communicatively connected to the ignition switch, the sensing unit, the faucet lock, and the motor controller respectively;

[0050] The ignition switch is the start switch 17 of the vehicle and is used for starting and shutting down the vehicle;

[0051] The faucet lock is used to execute the action instruction of unlocking or locking. In this embodiment, taking a two-wheeled electric vehicle as an example, the faucet lock includes an automatic module, a manual module, and a lock tongue 10. The automatic module includes a driving mechanism and an automatic bracket 6, and the manual module includes a manual bracket 9 and a manual mechanism. The driving mechanism can adopt a linear motion driving mode or a mode of converting rotational driving into linear motion. In this embodiment, such as Figure 1As shown, the driving mechanism includes a rotating mechanism and a first turntable 4. The rotating mechanism is drivingly connected to the first turntable 4. A first guide post 5 is eccentrically arranged on the first turntable 4. The first guide post 5 directly or indirectly abuts against the automatic bracket 6 in the direction of its moving trajectory. The automatic bracket 6 is movably arranged in a straight line in the lock housing 1. A manual bracket 9 is movably arranged in a straight line on the automatic bracket 6, and the straight-line moving direction of the manual bracket 9 is the same as that of the automatic bracket 6. A first elastic member is arranged on the automatic bracket 6 and abuts against one end of the manual bracket 9. A lock tongue 10 is arranged at the other end of the manual bracket 9. A second elastic member is sleeved on the lock tongue 10. The second elastic member abuts against the other end of the manual bracket 9, and the elastic force direction of the second elastic member acting on the manual bracket 9 is opposite to that of the first elastic member acting on the manual bracket 9. The straight-line movement of the manual bracket 9 is pushed by a manual mechanism. In this embodiment, the manual mechanism includes a lock core 12 and a second turntable 13. The lock core 12 is fixedly connected to the second turntable 13. A second guide post 14 is eccentrically arranged on the second turntable 13. The second guide post 14 directly or indirectly abuts against the manual bracket 9 in one of its moving trajectory directions;

[0052] The specific settings are as follows: A sliding groove is provided on the manual bracket 9, and it is slidably arranged on the automatic bracket 6 through the sliding groove. A push plate is provided at one end of the manual bracket 9. The locking tongue 10 is fixedly connected to the manual bracket 9 through the mounting groove on the push plate. A second elastic member is sleeved on the locking tongue 10. The second elastic member is a compression spring, and for the sake of distinction, it is called the second spring 11. Therefore, one end of the second spring 11 abuts against the inner side of the lock case 1, and the other end abuts against one end of the manual bracket 9. A first elastic member that abuts against the other end of the manual bracket 9 is provided on the automatic bracket 6. The first elastic member is a spring, and for the sake of easy distinction, it is called the first spring 8. Therefore, one end of the first spring 8 abuts against the automatic bracket 6, and the other end abuts against the manual bracket 9. The elastic forces of the first spring 8 and the second spring 11 acting on the manual bracket 9 are exactly opposite, ensuring the relative balance of the forces on both ends of the manual bracket 9. In the automatic module, the rotating mechanism is a motor and a worm and worm gear mechanism 3. Here, the motor is called the locking tongue motor 2. The locking tongue motor 2 is drivingly connected to the worm and worm gear mechanism 3. The worm is drivingly connected to the first turntable 4. A strip-shaped limiting hole 7 is provided on the automatic bracket 6. One end of the first guide post 5 is inserted into the strip-shaped limiting hole 7. In the manual module, a sliding piece 15 is fixedly arranged with the manual bracket 9. The sliding piece 15 is provided with a hollow structure. One end of the second guide post 14 is inserted into the hollow structure. Only a specific position in the hollow structure keeps abutting against the second guide post 14. In this way, only when the second guide post 14 moves in the abutting direction can the sliding piece 15 be pushed to move, otherwise, the sliding piece 15 cannot be pushed to move, thereby realizing the one-way pushing of the manual bracket 9. Based on this, in automatic unlocking and locking, driven by the locking tongue motor 2, the worm and worm gear mechanism 3 transmits the rotational force to the first turntable 4. The rotation of the first turntable 4 drives the first guide post 5 to move in an arc (the arc is a circle in the closed state). The movement of the first guide post 5 pushes the automatic bracket 6 to move linearly through the strip-shaped limiting hole 7. The linear movement of the automatic bracket 6 acts on the manual bracket 9 through the first spring 8, breaking the force balance state of the manual bracket 9, causing the manual bracket 9 to move linearly, thereby driving the locking tongue 10 to extend and retract, realizing automatic unlocking and locking. In manual unlocking, when the key is inserted into the lock core 12, the second turntable 13 is driven to rotate. In this embodiment, the clockwise rotation direction of the lock core 12 is the manual unlocking direction. Then the second turntable 13 rotates clockwise. The second turntable 13 drives the second guide post 14 to rotate clockwise. By means of the second guide post 14, the sliding piece 15 is pushed to move in the direction in which the locking tongue 10 extends. Then the manual bracket 9 fixedly connected to the sliding piece 15 is driven to move in the direction in which the locking tongue 10 extends, thereby driving the locking tongue 10 to extend, realizing manual unlocking;

[0053] The sensing unit is used to monitor the execution result of the handlebar lock for the action instruction and feedback the execution result to the main control unit. The sensing unit includes a lock tongue monitoring module, an automatic monitoring module, and a manual monitoring module. The lock tongue monitoring module determines whether the lock tongue 10 is in the unlocked or locked state by monitoring the position of the lock tongue 10. The automatic monitoring module is used to monitor whether there is an automatic unlocking drive or an automatic locking drive. The manual monitoring module is used to monitor whether there is a manual unlocking situation. In this embodiment, both the lock tongue monitoring module and the automatic monitoring module adopt the method of a magnet and a Hall sensor. More specifically: The lock tongue monitoring module includes a first Hall sensor and a first magnet disposed on the manual bracket 9. The lock tongue 10 is fixedly disposed on the manual bracket 9. The linear movement of the manual bracket 9 is equivalent to the telescopic movement of the lock tongue 10. A first magnet is disposed on the manual bracket 9, and the first Hall sensors are respectively disposed corresponding to the unlocking position and the locking position. When the first Hall sensor at the unlocking position detects the first magnet, the lock tongue 10 is in the unlocking position. When the first Hall sensor at the locking position detects the first magnet, the lock tongue 10 is in the locking position. The automatic monitoring module includes a second Hall sensor and a second magnet disposed on the automatic bracket 6. In the automatic module, the linear movement of the automatic bracket 6 means the occurrence of an automatic drive. Therefore, by monitoring the movement of the automatic bracket 6, it is possible to obtain whether there is an automatic drive situation. A second magnet is disposed on the automatic bracket 6, and the second Hall sensors are respectively disposed corresponding to the unlocking position and the locking position. When the second Hall sensor at the unlocking position detects the second magnet, the automatic module performs an unlocking drive. When the second Hall sensor at the locking position detects the second magnet, the automatic module performs a locking drive. In this embodiment, the manual monitoring module adopts the method of contact monitoring. More specifically: As Figure 1 shown, the manual monitoring module includes a boss 16 disposed on the second turntable 13, a switch 17 disposed on the manual bracket 9, and a steel ball 18 located at one end of the switch 17. For manual unlocking, when the lock core 12 drives the second turntable 13 to rotate to the unlocking position, the boss 16 on the second turntable 13 abuts against the steel ball 18, causing the steel ball 18 to press the contact of the switch 17, making the switch 17 in the off state conduct, and realizing the output of the unlocking signal, thereby the manual unlocking situation;

[0054] The main control unit is used to send an unlocking or locking action instruction to the handlebar lock according to the opening and closing of the ignition switch or a remote control instruction, and perform vehicle usage feedback according to the execution result of the handlebar lock for the action instruction. It includes a power controller. The power controller is communicatively connected to the handlebar lock power supply. The handlebar lock power supply is used to supply power to the handlebar lock;

[0055] The motor controller feeds back the vehicle speed information to the main control unit, and the main control unit sends a vehicle speed control instruction to the motor controller, thereby performing vehicle usage feedback adapted to the execution result of the handlebar lock.

[0056] For the control system of the faucet lock according to this embodiment, taking the control of the faucet lock based on the opening and closing of the ignition switch as an example, the following control method can be obtained:

[0057] I. As Figure 2 shown, the unlocking control method of the faucet lock:

[0058] 1) Turn on the ignition switch, and the main control unit automatically sends an unlocking instruction;

[0059] 2) As Figure 4 shown, the sending of the unlocking instruction triggers the power-on of the faucet lock, supplies power to the faucet lock, and sends the unlocking instruction to the faucet lock after a certain delay (for example, 500 ms). After the sending of the unlocking instruction is completed, the power of the faucet lock is turned off, and the power supply to the faucet lock stops;

[0060] 3) The automatic module controls the faucet lock to automatically execute the unlocking instruction, and manually execute the unlocking instruction in case of emergencies such as the failure of the automatic module;

[0061] 4) Obtain the execution result through tongue lock monitoring, automatic monitoring, and manual monitoring;

[0062] 5) When it is detected that the tongue lock 10 is in the unlocked state and there is an automatic unlocking drive or / and manual unlocking situation, the execution result is normal unlocking, the vehicle is in a normal riding state, and an execution result prompt is made, for example, corresponding prompts are made through the instrument and the vehicle-mounted horn. Full-speed riding is possible in the normal riding state;

[0063] 6) When the execution result is abnormal unlocking, set a reaction time, and perform tongue lock monitoring, automatic monitoring, and manual monitoring within the reaction time (for example, 2 s), and feedback the execution result of the faucet lock. If the execution result is normal unlocking, then go to step 5);

[0064] 7) If the execution result is abnormal unlocking, and there is no emergency interruption event, resend the unlocking instruction, and re-execute the unlocking instruction and monitor the execution result. As Figure 5 shown, the emergency interruption events include the vehicle speed being greater than 0, receiving a locking instruction when the ignition switch is on, and receiving an unlocking instruction when the ignition switch is off;

[0065] 8) When the number of resends of the unlocking instruction reaches the upper limit, or an emergency interruption event occurs, the power of the faucet lock is turned off, and the unlocking instruction is not resent to the faucet lock, and the vehicle usage feedback is directly made according to the execution result:

[0066] a. When it is detected that the lock tongue 10 is in a non-unlocked state (including errors or abnormalities in lock tongue monitoring, indicating that the lock tongue 10 is in a locked state), but there is a manual unlocking situation, the execution result is an abnormal unlocking, the vehicle is in a speed-limited riding state, and an execution result prompt is given, for example, corresponding prompts are made through the instrument panel and the vehicle-mounted horn. Riding is allowed in the speed-limited riding state at the limited speed;

[0067] b. When the detected execution result does not conform to abnormal unlocking or conforms to non-unlocking, the vehicle is in a prohibited riding state, and an execution result prompt is given, for example, corresponding prompts are made through the instrument panel and the vehicle-mounted horn. Riding is not allowed in the prohibited riding state.

[0068] II. As Figure 3 shown, the method for locking the handlebar lock:

[0069] 1) Turn off the ignition switch, and automatically send a locking command through the main control unit;

[0070] 2) As Figure 4 shown, the sending of the locking command triggers the power-on of the handlebar lock, supplies power to the handlebar lock, and after a certain delay (for example, 500 ms), the locking command is sent to the handlebar lock. After the sending of the locking command is completed, the power supply of the handlebar lock is turned off, and the power supply to the handlebar lock is stopped;

[0071] 3) Control the handlebar lock to automatically execute the locking command through the automatic module;

[0072] 4) Obtain the execution result through lock tongue monitoring, automatic monitoring, and manual monitoring;

[0073] 5) When it is detected that the lock tongue 10 is in a locked state and there is an automatic locking drive, the execution result is a normal locking, the vehicle is in a locked state, and an execution result prompt is given, for example, corresponding prompts are made through the instrument panel and the vehicle-mounted horn;

[0074] 6) When the detected execution result is an abnormal locking, set a reaction time, and within the reaction time (for example, 2 s), perform lock tongue monitoring, automatic monitoring, and manual monitoring, and feedback the execution result of the handlebar lock. If the execution result is a normal locking, then go to step 5);

[0075] 7) If the execution result is an abnormal locking, on the premise that no emergency interruption event occurs, resend the locking command, and re-execute the locking command and monitor the execution result. As Figure 5 shown, the described emergency interruption events include the vehicle speed being greater than 0, receiving a locking command when the ignition switch is on, and receiving an unlocking command when the ignition switch is off;
