Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of driving equipment technology, and in particular to a motorcycle. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional motorcycles are generally equipped with only essential onboard electronic devices, such as an electronic screen display panel to provide instrument information. The functions of these products are largely similar. However, with the increasing demand for intelligent entertainment functions such as in-vehicle multimedia and navigation, motorcycles have also begun to develop in the direction of intelligence.

[0003] There is currently no effective solution to the problem that existing in-vehicle products are mostly functional devices required for driving, lacking fun and interaction with users. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a motorcycle to address the aforementioned technical problems.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention discloses a motorcycle, the motorcycle comprising:

[0006] The main body includes a front part and a rear part, and at least one driving and riding area is provided between the front part and the rear part;

[0007] Wheels, including front wheels and rear wheels;

[0008] A suspension system is connected to the lower end of the main body. The suspension system includes a front suspension and a rear suspension. The front wheel is connected to the main body through the front suspension, and the rear wheel is connected to the main body through the rear suspension.

[0009] A power system, at least partially supported on the main body, is used to provide power for the operation of the motorcycle, and at least one of the front wheel and the rear wheel is drively connected to the power system;

[0010] A control system for controlling the operation of the motorcycle, the control system including a steering assembly disposed at the front of the main body, the steering assembly including left and right handlebars; the motorcycle also includes:

[0011] An interactive device is disposed on the main body and its vertical height is lower than that of the left and right handlebars. The interactive device includes a control module and a visual interaction module. The visual interaction module is connected to the control module. The control module can connect to a user's mobile terminal to obtain signals from the mobile terminal. When the motorcycle is in a first preset state, the control module can control the visual interaction module to perform corresponding visual interactions based on the signals from the mobile terminal. The visual interaction module includes a printed circuit board, an LED module, a light shield, and a diffuser. The LED module includes multiple LED beads, the light shield has multiple hollow grids, and the multiple LED beads and the light shield are all disposed on the printed circuit board. Each LED bead is located in a corresponding hollow grid, and the diffuser is stacked on the light shield.

[0012] In one embodiment, the height of the perforated grid is greater than the height of the plurality of LED beads.

[0013] In one embodiment, the distance between the end face of the plurality of LED beads facing one end of the light-blocking plate and the highest point of the light-blocking plate is 2-8 mm.

[0014] In one embodiment, the distance between the end face of the plurality of LED beads facing one end of the light-blocking plate and the highest point of the light-blocking plate is 4-6 mm.

[0015] In one embodiment, the LED module is rectangular, with the long side of the LED module being greater than 65 mm and the wide side being greater than 65 mm.

[0016] In one embodiment, the spacing between two adjacent LED beads is 3-10 mm.

[0017] In one embodiment, the visual interaction module further includes a housing and a sealing strip. The housing includes an upper shell and a rear shell, and the printed circuit board, LED module, light shield, and diffuser are encapsulated in the cavity formed by the upper shell and the rear shell through the sealing strip.

[0018] In one embodiment, the state of the motorcycle includes at least power off, parked, ready to drive, and driving; the first preset state includes parked.

[0019] In one embodiment, the motorcycle further includes a headlight system disposed at the front of the main body. The headlight system includes a light-transmitting cover and a headlight. The light-transmitting cover has a cavity with a receiving space inside. The headlight and the visual interaction module are located in the cavity. The light-transmitting cover includes a first light-transmitting area and a second light-transmitting area. The visual interaction module is located in the first light-transmitting area, and the headlight is located in the second light-transmitting area. The light transmittance of the first light-transmitting area is not greater than the light transmittance of the second light-transmitting area.

[0020] In one embodiment, the light transmittance of the first light-transmitting area is 10%-95%, and the light transmittance of the second light-transmitting area is 40%-95%.

[0021] The aforementioned motorcycle, by incorporating additional interactive devices and employing a combination of dot-matrix LED modules, light-blocking grids, and diffusers, achieves a pixel-block style appearance. This also addresses the shortcomings of single LED modules, such as uneven direct light emission, bright spots, and glare. The result is higher display brightness, more vibrant color display, and enhanced visual appeal, increasing user engagement and interaction.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 In this embodiment, the motorcycle 100 includes multiple components, specifically: a main body 10, a suspension system 20, wheels 30, a power system 40, a control system 60, and an interaction device 70. Figure 1 (Not shown).

[0037] The motorcycle 100 can be divided into a front end and a rear end according to the direction of travel. To clearly illustrate the technical solution of this application, the following definitions are provided: Figure 1 The diagram shows the front, rear, left, right, top, and bottom. The main body 10 includes a front portion 11 and a rear portion 12, with at least one riding area 50 disposed between the front portion 11 and the rear portion 12. Wheels 30 include a front wheel 31 and a rear wheel 32. A suspension system 20 is connected to the lower end of the main body 10, including a front suspension 21 and a rear suspension 22. The front wheel 31 is connected to the main body 10 via the front suspension 21, and the rear wheel 32 is connected to the main body 10 via the rear suspension 22. A power system 40 is at least partially supported on the main body 10 and provides power for the operation of the motorcycle 100. At least one of the front wheel 31 and the rear wheel 32 is driveably connected to the power system 40. A control system 60 is used to control the operation of the motorcycle 100. The control system 60 includes a steering assembly 61 disposed at the front portion 11 of the main body 10, and the steering assembly 61 includes left and right handlebars 62. Optionally, all or some components of the control system 60 are electrically connected to the power system 40. Figure 1 As shown, the steering assembly 61 is located, for example, above the front wheel 31 and in front of the driving area 50.

[0038] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the interactive device 70 is disposed on the main body 10. The interactive device 70 includes a control module 72, a visual interaction module 71, and a transmission module 73. The visual interaction module 71 is connected to the control module 72, and the transmission module 73 is connected to the control module 72. The transmission module 73 can be connected to the mobile terminal 200 to transmit the signal of the mobile terminal 200 to the control module 72. When the motorcycle 100 is in a first preset state, the control module 72 can control the visual interaction module 71 to perform corresponding visual interactions based on the signal of the mobile terminal 200, so that the interactive device 70 can be controlled by the user through the mobile terminal 200 to perform corresponding visual interactions.

[0039] The aforementioned motorcycle 100, by incorporating an interactive device 70, enhances user engagement and strengthens interaction. Furthermore, users can control the interactive device 70 via a mobile terminal 200, offering more diverse functions and more flexible control methods.

[0040] It should be noted that the mobile terminal 200 is pre-bound to the motorcycle 100, and one motorcycle 100 can support the binding of multiple mobile terminals 200. Specifically, when the motorcycle 100 is in a first preset state, the user can control the interactive device 70 to perform corresponding visual interactions through the mobile terminal 200. It should be further explained that the motorcycle's state, i.e., its operating mode, includes off, park, ready, and run, which are equivalent to power off, parked, ready to move, and moving. Power off refers to the motorcycle being de-energized, i.e., stationary. The first preset state is parked, which means the motorcycle is currently powered on but not moving, such as when waiting at a traffic light. The user can control the visual interaction module 71 to perform corresponding interactions through the mobile terminal 200.

[0041] Specifically, the mobile terminal 200 can be a portable device such as a mobile phone or tablet computer. The mobile terminal 200 has a corresponding program pre-downloaded, such as an app. When the motorcycle is parked and the mobile terminal 200 is connected to the transmission module 73, the user can control the mobile terminal 200 to transmit signals to the transmission module 73. The control module 72 can then control the visual interaction module 71 to perform corresponding interactions based on these signals. The term "user" as used herein can refer to the driver, a passenger, or other person using the motorcycle 100.

[0042] Below, we will first provide a specific description and explanation of which types of motorcycles 100 the embodiments of this application can be applied to and how the interactive device 70 is arranged on the motorcycle 100.

[0043] The motorcycle 100 mentioned in the embodiments of this application can be any type of motorcycle.

[0044] Based on the division of the wheels 30 of the motorcycle 100, the wheels 30 include the front wheel 31 and the rear wheel 32, which can be one of the following:

[0045] Wheel 30 includes only one front wheel 31 and one rear wheel 32. Understandably, traditional motorcycle models 100 typically include only one front wheel 31 and one rear wheel 32, such as: street bikes, sports bikes, cruisers, touring bikes, rally bikes, off-road bikes, supermoto bikes, scooters, underbone bikes, etc.

[0046] The wheel 30 includes one front wheel 31 and two rear wheels 32. Motorcycles 100 equipped with this type of wheel 30 are usually a type of special motorcycle, such as a three-wheeled motorcycle. These motorcycles are mostly used as production tools, although some high-end imported brand motorcycles also adopt this three-wheeled form.

[0047] Wheel 30 includes two front wheels 31 and one rear wheel 32. Similarly, motorcycles 100 equipped with such wheels 30 are usually special motorcycles, such as three-wheeled motorcycles, which are relatively rare. The most well-known example is the Bombardier three-wheeled motorcycle.

[0048] The wheel 30 includes a front wheel 31, a rear wheel 32, and a side wheel. A motorcycle equipped with this type of wheel 30 can be called a sidecar motorcycle, or colloquially, a "sidecar".

[0049] The wheels 30 include two front wheels 31 and two rear wheels 32, i.e., a four-wheeled motorcycle 100. Common four-wheeled motorcycles 100 include ATVs (All-Terrain Vehicles), UTVs (Utility Vehicles), and SSVs (Side-by-Side Vehicles), all of which can utilize the technical solution provided in this application. It should be noted that there are currently multiple ways to classify all-terrain vehicles and motorcycles. Some classification methods categorize all-terrain vehicles and motorcycles together, considering all-terrain vehicles not to be general motorcycles, while other classification methods consider all-terrain vehicles to be a special type of motorcycle. This mainly takes into account whether the concept of motorcycle is interpreted narrowly or broadly. The motorcycle 100 mentioned in the embodiments of this application mainly belongs to the latter classification method, that is, the technical solution of this application can be applied to all-terrain vehicles.

[0050] Based on the power system 40 of the motorcycle 100, the motorcycle 100 mentioned in this application embodiment can be either a gasoline-powered motorcycle or an electric motorcycle. When the motorcycle 100 is a gasoline-powered motorcycle, the aforementioned power system 40 is a gasoline-powered system; when the motorcycle 100 is an electric motorcycle, the aforementioned power system 40 is an electric power system.

[0051] The riding area 50 is provided with seats, including at least one driver's seat 51, and may also include at least one passenger seat 52. The driver's seat 51 and passenger seat 52 can be arranged along the front-to-back direction of the motorcycle 100, or along the left-to-right direction. The driver's seat 51 and passenger seat 52 can be two separate, spaced-apart seats, or they can be two areas on a single seat. In the case where the driver's seat 51 and passenger seat 52 are two areas on a single seat, the driver's seat 51 and passenger seat 52 can also be referred to as the area for the driver and the area for the passenger, respectively.

[0052] In one specific embodiment of this application, the seat of the motorcycle 100 can be a saddle; the saddle includes at least one driver's seat 51. Optionally, the driver's seat 51 can be an area on the saddle where the driver can sit. Generally, the driver's seat 51 is located on the front side of the saddle, that is, on the side close to the front wheel 31 and the steering assembly 61. In addition, the saddle also includes a passenger seat 52. Correspondingly, the passenger seat 52 can be an area on the saddle where a passenger can sit. The passenger seat 52 is located on the rear side of the saddle, specifically behind the aforementioned driver's seat 51. In this specific embodiment, the saddle extends in the front-rear direction, and the plane is the plane containing the mid-section of the saddle.

[0053] It should be understood that this application does not impose specific restrictions on the type of vehicle seat, as long as it meets the purpose of passenger seating.

[0054] In one embodiment of this application, the left and right handlebars 62 include a left grip and a right grip. Furthermore, the steering assembly 61 also includes a grip connecting shaft 64 located between the left and right grips. An operation button 63 is provided on the grip connecting shaft 64. Optionally, the operation button 63 is located at one end of the left and right handlebars 62 near the grip connecting shaft 64, allowing the user to control the interactive device 70 via the operation button 63 to perform corresponding visual interactions. This facilitates user control of the interactive device 70 via the operation button 63. In some embodiments of this application, the operation button 63 may be located in other positions on the steering assembly 61; this application does not impose specific limitations. It should be understood that this application does not impose specific limitations on the structure and shape of the operation button 63 on the steering assembly 61; the steering assembly 61 only needs to meet the directional control requirements, and the operation button 63 only needs to be able to respond to user actions. This application does not exclude the possibility that the steering assembly 61 is a steering wheel.

[0055] Furthermore, the various improvement concepts provided in this application may also be applicable to other driving devices besides the motorcycle 100. For those skilled in the art, any modifications and improvements made without departing from the concept of this application should be considered within the scope of protection of this application.

[0056] See Figure 3 The following will provide a more detailed explanation of the functions of the interactive device 70.

[0057] When the motorcycle is stationary or powered off, the control module 72 in the interaction device 70 is in a sleep state. If the control module 72 receives a preset signal, it is awakened; specifically, the control module 72 switches from a sleep state to an active state. When the control module 72 is in an active state, if the motorcycle is currently parked, the control module 72 can respond to the signal transmitted from the mobile terminal 200 by the transmission module 73 to control the visual interaction module 71 to perform corresponding interactions.

[0058] The preset signal is either an ignition lock signal or a power-on signal. Specifically, it could be triggered by the user using a key card to activate the motorcycle when it is powered off, or by the user unlocking the motorcycle with a physical key, or by the user unlocking and powering the motorcycle with a smart remote key within the sensing range, or by the user unlocking the motorcycle with a single click via the mobile terminal 200's APP. When the user triggers the motorcycle when it is powered off, or unlocks the motorcycle with a physical key, or unlocks and poweres the motorcycle with a smart remote key within the sensing range, or unlocks the motorcycle with a single click via the mobile terminal 200's APP, the control module 72 in the interactive device 70 will also be awakened in response to the ignition lock signal or power-on signal generated by this action, switching from a dormant state to a normal operating state. Of course, in other embodiments, the means of powering on the motorcycle or waking up the control module 72 are not limited to the above-mentioned methods, as long as the same purpose is achieved; no specific limitation is made here. Specifically, it could also be a corresponding signal generated by a change in the state of the motorcycle 100, for example, a corresponding signal generated when the motorcycle 100 changes from a powered-off state to a powered-on state. Furthermore, in order to make it easier for users to know that the control module 72 in the interactive device 70 has been activated, for example, the control module 72 can control the visual interaction module 71 to light up briefly after it is activated.

[0059] The interactive device 70 is an entertainment screen that can interact with the user when the vehicle is parked. It can be woken up using CAN wake-up. However, this method requires a dedicated controller with CAN wake-up, which is costly; and it requires real-time monitoring of CAN messages on the CAN signal line during power-down, resulting in high static power consumption. In this embodiment, a preset signal is used to wake up the control module 72 in the interactive device 70. This requires less current and replaces the CAN wake-up function during vehicle power-down. The interactive device 70 does not require CAN wake-up components, resulting in lower cost and lower static power consumption (<0.1mA).

[0060] In another embodiment, the control module 72 can wake up the control module 72 in the interactive device 70 based on the ignition switch signal or the power-on signal, combined with the CAN wake-up signal.

[0061] In one embodiment of this application, the motorcycle 100 further includes an energy storage device 81, and the control module 72 is also used to receive a constant power input from the energy storage device 81 as a power source. For example, the motorcycle 100 is equipped with a lead-acid constant power supply, which inputs a constant power signal to the interactive device 70 to power the interactive device 70. This is unaffected by the overall vehicle power failure, resulting in lower cost and lower static power consumption.

[0062] Understandably, if the motorcycle 100 is a fuel-powered vehicle, the energy storage device 81 can be a small battery equipped on the motorcycle 100. If the motorcycle 100 is a new energy vehicle, the energy storage device 81 can be a small battery on the motorcycle 100, or it can be a power battery on the motorcycle 100 used to provide power.

[0063] In one embodiment of this application, the motorcycle 100 is further equipped with a local area network (LAN), which is a CAN network. When the LAN is a CAN network, the motorcycle 100 has at least one CAN bus 82. The control module 72, in addition to being connected to the ignition lock 83, is also connected to the CAN bus 82 and obtains the current state of the motorcycle 100 through the CAN bus 82. Exemplarily, the control module 72 determines the current state of the motorcycle based on the CAN communication signal, whether it is powered off, parked, ready to drive, or in a driving state. The control module 72 then adjusts the working state of the interaction device 70 according to the motorcycle's state. Specifically, when the motorcycle is in a second preset state, the control module 72 controls the visual interaction module 71 to stop working. The second preset state includes powered off, ready to drive, or in a driving state. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the state in which the control module 72 controls the visual interaction module 71 to work can be set according to actual needs, and is not specifically limited here.

[0064] like Figure 4The wake-up of the control module 72 in the interactive device 70 is described below, starting from step S400. In step S401, the motorcycle 100 is in a power-off or idle state. In this state, the constant power output from the energy storage device 81 on the motorcycle is connected to the control module 72. In step S402, if the user triggers the motorcycle in the power-off state using a key card, unlocks the motorcycle using a physical key, or unlocks and powers it up using a smart remote key within the sensing range, or powers it up with a single click via the APP of the mobile terminal 200, the motorcycle unlocks. In step S403, the control module 72 in the interactive device 70 is also woken up in response to the ignition lock signal or power-up signal generated in step S402. It determines whether an ignition lock signal is detected. If detected, step S404 is executed; otherwise, it returns to step S402. In step S404, the control module 72 in the interactive device 70 is woken up, switching from a dormant state to a normal operating state. Step S400 ends, thus completing the wake-up of the control module 72.

[0065] like Figure 5 The operation of the visual interaction module 71 in the interactive device 70 is described below, starting from step S500. In step S501, the control module 72 in the interactive device 70 is awakened, switching from a sleep state to a normal operating state. In step S502, it is determined whether the motorcycle is currently in a first preset state. Specifically, the control module 72 connected to the CAN bus 82 determines the current state of the motorcycle based on the CAN communication signal, determining whether the motorcycle is currently in a parked state. If yes, step S503 is executed; otherwise, the process returns to step S501. In step S503, the mobile terminal 200 connects to the interactive device 70 via short-range communication. Specifically, this can be a user's mobile phone connecting to the interactive device 70 via Bluetooth. In step S504, since the motorcycle is currently in a parked state and the mobile terminal 200 is connected to the interactive device 70, the control module 72 in the interactive device 70 can control the visual interaction module 71 to perform corresponding visual interactions based on the signals from the mobile terminal 200. In step S505, it is determined whether the motorcycle is currently in the second preset state. Specifically, the control module 72 connected to the CAN bus 82 determines the current state of the motorcycle based on the CAN communication signal, identifying whether the motorcycle is currently powered off, ready to drive, or in a driving state. If yes, proceed to step S506; otherwise, return to step S504. In step S506, if the current state of the motorcycle is determined to be powered off, ready to drive, or in a driving state, the control module 72 controls the visual interaction module 71 to stop working. The process ends in step S507. It should be noted that the order of steps S501 to S507 can be reversed. For example, after step S501, step S503 can be executed first, followed by step S502.

[0066] In one embodiment of this application, the control module 72 is further configured to receive CAN communication signals via the CAN bus 82 and control the visual interaction module 71 to display pre-stored patterns based on the CAN communication signals. Exemplarily, the control module 72 may have one or more pre-stored patterns, which can be pre-stored in the control module 72 before the interaction device 70 leaves the factory, or pre-stored by the user. In use, the user sends commands through interaction with the motorcycle 100. Specifically, commands can be sent through control buttons on the steering component 61. The motorcycle 100 sends corresponding CAN communication signals according to the user commands. The control module 72 determines the user commands based on the CAN communication signals and controls the visual interaction module 71 to display the corresponding patterns. It is understood that the user can control the interaction device 70 to display or switch corresponding patterns through interaction with the motorcycle 100; the patterns displayed by the interaction device 70 can be pre-stored patterns or patterns input by the user.

[0067] In another embodiment of this application, the transmission module 73 receives signals from the mobile terminal 200 and sends them to the control module 72. The control module 72 controls the visual interaction module 71 to display a corresponding pattern based on the signals. For example, a user inputs a command through the mobile terminal 200, the mobile terminal 200 sends a signal according to the user's command, and the control module 72 controls the interaction device 70 to display a corresponding pattern based on the signal. It is understood that the pattern displayed by the interaction device 70 can be a pre-stored pattern or a pattern input by the user. In other embodiments, the user can also input other commands through the mobile terminal 200 to control the interaction device 70 to perform corresponding operations; this application does not specifically limit this.

[0068] For other embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1 The motorcycle 100 also includes an instrument panel 80, which is located at the front 11 of the main body 10. The instrument panel 80 is connected to a CAN bus 82, and displays the mileage of the motorcycle 100 after the motorcycle is powered on. Furthermore, a control module 72 is connected to the CAN bus 82. The control module 72 obtains the mileage of the motorcycle 100 through the CAN bus 82 and controls the visual interaction module 71 to perform corresponding interactions based on the mileage. For example, after the motorcycle 100 is powered on, the instrument panel 80 starts working, i.e., it can display the mileage of the motorcycle 100.

[0069] For example, the interactive device 70 can display mileage information corresponding to the current mileage of the driving device, allowing users to redeem virtual items based on the mileage, thereby stimulating their interest in riding. Specifically, the mileage information can be different icons corresponding to different mileage levels, or it can be a specific mileage value; no specific limitation is made here.

[0070] For example, the control module 72 can be a microcontroller, and the transmission module 73 is connected to the mobile terminal 200 via short-range wireless communication, including one of the following: Bluetooth communication, Wi-Fi communication, ultra-wideband communication, radio frequency communication, and infrared communication. The control module 72 communicates with the transmission module 73 via a serial port, and the control module 72 is electrically connected to the visual interaction module 71. In other embodiments, the control module 72, the transmission module 73, and the mobile terminal 200 can be selected from other devices according to actual needs, as long as they implement the functions of control, communication, and the mobile terminal 200. It is understood that users can establish communication and control the interactive device 70 through an APP installed on their mobile phones.

[0071] Specifically, by receiving different control signals, such as user input signals, external audio signals, and external light signals, the interactive device 70 displays and switches the currently displayed pattern. It can realize simple games such as switching between gallery patterns and playing Tetris, as well as functions such as uploading custom album patterns, doodling, text display, dark car-finding welcome animation effects, and music rhythm, increasing the fun of user interaction, the interactivity between the car system and the user, their dependence, and the playability.

[0072] For example, when a user controls the interactive device 70 via a mobile app, the app pre-stores pet egg images. The user can exchange these images for coins based on the current mileage, which can then be used to acquire pet growth energy or unlock more fun expressions or new features. The pet-raising process fosters an emotional bond between the user and the vehicle, creating a psychological dependence on the driving device and stimulating the user's interest in riding. In other embodiments, the above functions can also be achieved by controlling the interactive device 70 through interaction with the motorcycle 100.

[0073] It is understandable that another interactive device 70, in addition to the instrument panel 80, is set on the main body 10 of the motorcycle 100 for user entertainment, to enhance the interactivity and fun with the user.

[0074] The following section will provide a more detailed explanation of the aforementioned visual interaction module 71.

[0075] In some embodiments of this application, the visual interaction module 71 includes a liquid crystal display (LCD), which includes a substrate and liquid crystal material disposed between the substrates. In other embodiments of this application, please refer to... Figure 6 , Figure 6This is an exploded view of a visual interaction module 71 according to an embodiment of this application. The visual interaction module 71 includes a printed circuit board 711, an LED module 712, and a light-blocking plate 713. The LED module 712 includes multiple LED beads, and the light-blocking plate 713 has multiple hollow grids 7130. Both the LED beads and the light-blocking plate 713 are disposed on the printed circuit board 711, with each LED bead located in a corresponding hollow grid 7130. Furthermore, the visual interaction module 71 also includes a diffuser sheet 714, which is stacked on the light-blocking plate 713.

[0076] Understandably, the solution of using a combination of dot matrix LED module 712, light shield 713 and diffuser 714 achieves a pixel block style appearance effect, while solving the problems of uneven light emission, bright spots and glare caused by direct light from single LED lamp module. It can achieve higher display brightness, more brilliant color display effect, and add fun to the display effect.

[0077] For example, full-color LCD screens have poor color reproduction and insufficient brightness, while monochrome LCD screens have insufficient brightness, limited color, and poor display effects. Using only LED beads results in glaring light sources and low visual appeal. However, the solution in this application, combining a dot-matrix LED module 712, a light-blocking plate 713, and a diffuser 714, achieves high brightness, vibrant colors, and high screen utilization in the LED pixel block display.

[0078] In this embodiment, the height of the perforated grid 7130 is greater than the height of the multiple LED beads. It is understood that the greater height of the perforated grid 7130 allows the light emitted by each LED bead to be confined within its corresponding perforated grid 7130, reducing light diffusion and making the brightness of the area displayed by a single LED bead more uniform. Simultaneously, by providing a diffuser 714, the brightness of the LED beads within a single perforated grid 7130 can be made more uniform, and the diffuser 714 can also reduce brightness and eliminate glare.

[0079] Optionally, the distance between the end faces of the multiple LED beads facing the light-blocking plate 713 and the highest point of the light-blocking plate 713 is 2-8 mm. Further, the distance between the end faces of the multiple LED beads facing the light-blocking plate 713 and the highest point of the light-blocking plate 713 is 4-6 mm. Even further, the distance between the end faces of the multiple LED beads facing the light-blocking plate 713 and the highest point of the light-blocking plate 713 can be 5 mm.

[0080] It is understandable that a certain distance is maintained between the highest point of the LED bead and the highest point of the light-blocking plate 713, so that the LED bead is completely contained within the hollow grid 7130. Preferably, the distance between the highest point of the LED bead and the highest point of the light-blocking plate 713 is 5 mm. In other embodiments, the distance between the highest point of the LED bead and the highest point of the light-blocking plate 713 can be other values, as long as a certain distance is maintained; no specific limitation is made here.

[0081] In another embodiment, the LED module 712 is rectangular, with both its long and wide sides exceeding 65 mm. It is understood that the size of the LED module 712 is related to the size of the motorcycle 100. In other embodiments, the LED module 712 can be configured according to actual conditions, and this application does not impose specific limitations.

[0082] For example, ensuring that the light-emitting surface of the visual interaction module 71 is large enough to accommodate more LED beads results in better lighting effects and clearer displayed graphics. In other embodiments, the LED module 712 can be of other shapes; the size can be set according to actual needs, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0083] In another embodiment, the spacing between two adjacent LED beads is 3-10 mm.

[0084] Understandably, maintaining a certain distance between adjacent LED beads ensures that the graphics displayed on the visual interaction module 71 are clearly distinguishable when the LED module 712 is lit. In other embodiments, the distance between adjacent LED beads can be set according to actual needs, and is not specifically limited here.

[0085] In another embodiment, the visual interaction module 71 also includes a housing 710 and a sealing strip 717, wherein the printed circuit board 711, the LED module 712, the light shield 713 and the diffuser 714 are encapsulated in the housing 710 by the sealing strip 717.

[0086] Exemplarily, the housing 710 includes an upper housing 715 and a rear housing 716. The printed circuit board 711, LED module 712, light-blocking plate 713, and diffuser 714 are encapsulated within the cavity 96 formed by the upper housing 715 and the rear housing 716 by a sealing strip 717. The sealing strip 717 seals the printed circuit board 711, LED module 712, light-blocking plate 713, and diffuser 714 within the housing 710 to prevent damage to the devices. In other embodiments, the control module 72 and the transmission module 73 may be sealed together within the housing 710; this application does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0087] It should be noted that the visual interaction module 71, the control module 72, and the transmission module 73 can be installed separately on the vehicle body, or they can be integrated into one unit.

[0088] The following section will provide a more detailed explanation of the location and setup method of the interactive device 70.

[0089] In one embodiment, the motorcycle 100 further includes a headlight system 90, which is disposed at the front 11 of the main body 10. The headlight system 90 includes a light-transmitting cover 900 and a headlight 901. The light-transmitting cover 900 has a cavity 96 with a receiving space inside, and the headlight 901 is located inside the cavity 96 of the light-transmitting cover 900. If the visual interaction module 71, the control module 72, and the transmission module 73 are integrated into one unit, the interaction device 70 is located inside the cavity 96 of the light-transmitting cover 900. If the visual interaction module 71, the control module 72, and the transmission module 73 are separated, the visual interaction module 71 is located inside the cavity 96 of the light-transmitting cover 900, and the control module 72 and the transmission module 73 can be located in other positions.

[0090] For further details, please refer to Figure 7 The headlight 901 includes a first lamp group 91 and a second lamp group 92, which are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the longitudinal centerline of the motorcycle 100. The visual interaction module 71 is located within the cavity 96 of the light-transmitting cover 900 and between the first lamp group 91 and the second lamp group 92. In other embodiments of this application, the headlight 901 may have multiple lamp groups integrated into the light-transmitting cover 900; this application does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0091] In one embodiment of this application, the surface color of the upper shell 715 is black, and the interactive device 70 is attached to the light-transmitting cover 900.

[0092] Understandably, the surface color of the upper shell 715 is black, meaning the entire visual interaction module 71 is made black. Specifically, when the visual interaction module 71 is not working, it is entirely black, and without an external light source, the user cannot see the structure of the visual interaction module 71 through the light-transmitting cover 900. For example, the black surface color of the visual interaction module 71 can be achieved by adjusting the structure of the light-emitting module of the visual interaction module 71, or by adjusting the appearance structure of the visual interaction module 71; no specific limitations are made here.

[0093] In this embodiment, the visual interaction module 71 is attached to the light-transmitting cover 900. It can be understood that if the light-transmitting cover 900 is curved, then the visual interaction module 71 is also a curved screen; if the position corresponding to the light-transmitting cover 900 and the visual interaction module 71 is flat, then the visual interaction module 71 is also a flat screen.

[0094] Furthermore, when the surface color of the upper shell 715 is black, and the visual interaction module 71 is attached to the light-transmitting cover 900, the light-transmitting cover 900 includes a first light-transmitting area 900a and a second light-transmitting area 900b. The visual interaction module 71 is located in the first light-transmitting area 900a, and the headlight 901 is located in the second light-transmitting area 900b. The light transmittance of the light-transmitting cover 900 is not greater than the light transmittance of the second light-transmitting area 900b. Further still, the ratio of the light transmittance of the first light-transmitting area 900a to the light transmittance of the second light-transmitting area 900b can be set to 3:9 to 7:9, or 3:9 to 5:9. Specifically, the light transmittance of the first light-transmitting area 900a is 50%-95% or 60%-80%, and the light transmittance of the second light-transmitting area 900b is 40%-95% or 70%-90%.

[0095] In one embodiment of this application, when the surface color of the upper shell 715 is not black, the light-transmitting cover 900 includes a first light-transmitting area 900a and a second light-transmitting area 900b. The interactive device 70 is located in the first light-transmitting area 900a, and the headlight 901 is located in the second light-transmitting area 900b. The light transmittance of the first light-transmitting area 900a is not greater than the light transmittance of the second light-transmitting area 900b. Further, the ratio of the light transmittance of the first light-transmitting area 900a to the light transmittance of the second light-transmitting area 900b is 1:9 to 3:9, or 1:9 to 2:9.

[0096] Understandably, both the headlight 901 and the visual interaction module 71 need to ensure that their internal structures are not visible when not illuminated, but that light transmission is not affected during operation. Furthermore, their luminous intensity and emission requirements differ; for example, the headlight 901 requires a longer light transmission distance, while the interaction device 70 only needs light to reach nearby areas. Therefore, different transmittance levels need to be set for the corresponding light-transmitting covers 900 of both. The transmittance of the first light-transmitting area 900a should not be higher than that of the second light-transmitting area 900b, and the transmittance of other areas of the entire light-transmitting cover 900 should not be higher than that of the first light-transmitting area 900. This is to prevent excessively high transmittance in the surrounding areas, which would allow the internal structures to be visible when the lights are on, resulting in a poor aesthetic appearance.

[0097] In some embodiments of this application, the transmittance of the first light-transmitting area 900a is 10%-95%, or 30%-60%, and the transmittance of the second light-transmitting area 900b is 40%-95%, or 70%-90%. In other embodiments, the transmittance can be adjusted according to actual needs, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0098] In one embodiment, the distance between the visual interaction module 71 and the headlight 901 is 12-200 mm. Exemplarily, the visual interaction module 71 and the headlight 901 are arranged horizontally parallel to each other, and the inner projection distance between the light-emitting surfaces of the headlight 901 and the visual interaction module 71 is greater than 12 mm and less than 200 mm. Specifically, the visual interaction module 71 and the headlight 901 may be arranged on the same plane or on different planes. When they are arranged on different planes, the projection distance is the distance between the headlight 901 and the visual interaction module 71 when their light-emitting surfaces are projected onto the same plane. Exemplarily, when the visual interaction module 71 and the headlight 901 are arranged on different planes, the plane containing the left-right and up-down directions of the motorcycle 100 is used as the projection plane. The light-emitting surfaces of the headlight 901 and the visual interaction module 71 are projected onto the projection plane, and the straight-line distance between the projection center of the visual interaction module 71 and the projection center of the headlight 901 is used as the projection distance. It is understood that in other embodiments, the arrangement of the visual interaction module 71 and the headlight 901, as well as the distance between them, can be adaptively adjusted according to the vehicle model and vehicle size, without specific limitations here.

[0099] Furthermore, on the same projection plane, the distance between the center of the visual interaction module 71 and the center of the first lamp group 91 is 60-220 mm. For example, the visual interaction module 71 and the headlight 901 are arranged horizontally parallel to each other, and the distance between the center of the first lamp group 91 or the second lamp group 92 of the headlight 901 and the center of the light-emitting surface of the visual interaction module 71 is greater than 60 mm and less than 220 mm. It is understood that in other embodiments, the arrangement of the visual interaction module 71 and the headlight 901, as well as the distance between them, can be adaptively adjusted according to different vehicle models and vehicle sizes; no specific limitations are made here.

[0100] In one embodiment of this application, the visual interaction module 71 and the headlight 901 each form a sealed structure. It is understood that the visual interaction module 71 and the headlight 901, regardless of whether they share the light-transmitting cover 900, can be sealed separately, forming separate sealed structures to ensure sealing reliability and provide waterproofing and dustproofing. In this embodiment, the visual interaction module 71 and the headlight 901 are independent parts and are individually sealed. If one part fails, the faulty part can be replaced independently, making maintenance convenient.

[0101] Furthermore, when the visual interaction module 71 and the headlight 901 each form a sealed structure, the light-transmitting cover 900 includes a housing 94 and a cover 93, which are detachably connected. For example, the detachable connection between the housing 94 and the cover 93 allows for disassembly and assembly, facilitating repair in case of subsequent component damage.

[0102] In other embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 8 This is an exploded view of the visual interaction module 71, headlight 901, and light-transmitting cover 900 according to an embodiment of this application. The light-transmitting cover 900 includes a housing 94 and a cover 93, which are sealed together by a sealing strip and screws. Exemplarily, the housing 94 and cover 93 are directly sealed, making them impossible to disassemble after sealing. Water and dust cannot enter this sealed space, ensuring reliable sealing and preventing water and dust from entering the areas of the visual interaction module 71 and headlight 901, thus maintaining the lighting effect. The visual interaction module 71 is mounted on the housing 94 via a connector 95.

[0103] In one embodiment of this application, when the visual interaction module 71 is not integrated into the headlight system 90, the visual interaction module 71 may be disposed on the surface of the main body 10.

[0104] It should be noted that the following description of the installation position of the interactive device 70 is based on the case where the visual interaction module 71, control module 72, and transmission module 73 are integrated into one unit. Similarly, when the visual interaction module 71, control module 72, and transmission module 73 are separately installed, the installation position of the interactive device 70 also applies to the installation position of the visual interaction module 71.

[0105] Please see Figure 9 , Figure 9 This is a perspective view of a motorcycle 100 according to another embodiment of this application. Figure 9 In the illustrated embodiment, the interaction device 70 is disposed on the side of the main body 10. It can be understood that the interaction device 70 may be disposed on the left or right side of the main body 10.

[0106] Please see Figure 10 , Figure 10 This is a perspective view of a motorcycle 100 according to another embodiment of this application.

[0107] In this embodiment, the main body 10 includes a front end and a rear end. The interactive device 70 is disposed at the front end or rear end of the main body 10. It should be noted that the vertical height of the visual interaction module 71 is lower than that of the left and right handle 62. It should be further noted that the main body includes a frame and a cover. If the visual interaction module, control module, and transmission module are integrated into one unit, the cover can be stacked on the interactive device. The cover at the interactive device is made of a transparent material.

[0108] Understandably, the motorcycle 100 body 10 has a front end and a rear end; generally, the front end is the front of the motorcycle, and the rear end is the rear of the motorcycle. For example, the interaction device 70 can be located at either the front or the rear of the motorcycle. Figure 10In the illustrated embodiment, the interactive device 70 is located at the rear of the vehicle. Figure 7 In the embodiment shown, the interactive device 70 is located at the front of the vehicle.

[0109] In other embodiments, the interactive device 70 is located in other positions besides the sides, front, and rear of the vehicle. The interactive device 70, control module, and transmission module 73 are integrated into one unit. Similarly, the interactive device 70 can also be located in other positions besides the sides, front, and rear of the vehicle. It can be designed according to user needs and preferences, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0110] In some embodiments of this application, the interactive device 70 or the interactive device 70 can be placed at any position on the main body 10 of the motorcycle 100, as long as the user can see it when it is displayed.

[0111] Understandably, when the interactive device 70 is exposed on the surface of the main body 10, it is easily contaminated or damaged, so protective measures are required. Furthermore, the main body 10 includes a frame and a cover, which is stacked on the interactive device 70, and the cover at the interactive device 70 is made of a transparent material.

[0112] For example, if a cover is stacked on the interactive device 70, the cover must be made of a transparent material so that the user can see the interactive device 70. Understandably, the cover can also be made of a material with low light transmittance; specifically, a material with a light transmittance of 10%-95% can be used to make the cover.

[0113] It is understood that the above embodiment is only an example of the headlight system 90. Other lighting systems may also be installed on the motorcycle 100, such as position lights, headlights, taillights, etc. The interactive device 70 can be integrated into other lighting systems. This application does not make any specific limitations.

[0114] In one embodiment of this application, the headlight 901 is a position light. The first lamp group 91 and the second lamp group 92 of the headlight 901 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the longitudinal center line of the motorcycle 100, serving as the left position light and the right position light. In addition, the headlight system 90 also includes a headlight, which is arranged on the longitudinal center line of the motorcycle 100 and located below the first lamp group 91 and the second lamp group 92 in the vertical direction of the motorcycle 100.

[0115] Obviously, the accompanying drawings are merely some examples or embodiments of this application. Those skilled in the art can apply this application to other similar situations based on these drawings without any creative effort. Furthermore, it is understood that although the work done in this development process may be complex and lengthy, for those skilled in the art, certain design, manufacturing, or production modifications made based on the technical content disclosed in this application are merely conventional technical means and should not be considered as insufficient disclosure of this application.

[0116] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0117] The above embodiments merely illustrate several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of patent protection. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the appended claims.
