[0002] At present, short-distance cargo transportation usually uses manpower or external power. The use of manpower-powered cargo trucks increases the labor intensity of the porters and the weight of the cargo they carry is limited. If an externally powered cargo truck is used, the cargo truck is usually large in size and weight, the cost is high, and the usage scenarios are limited.

[0003] Based on this, miniaturized carts have gradually become an important tool for short-distance transportation. However, current vehicles are usually large and difficult to carry. Therefore, how to solve the problem of large vehicle size and difficulty in carrying has gradually become the focus of current research. Summary of the invention

[0012] Among them, the hub motor assembly integrates a motor controller, a motor and a reducer, and the reduction mechanism includes a planetary gear, an intermediate gear, a sun gear, a planetary gear shaft, an intermediate gear shaft, a sun gear shaft, and a planetary carrier plate.

[0013] Furthermore, when the vehicle needs to be folded, the upper traction rod adjustment mechanism is adjusted to release the constraints of the lower traction rod and the upper traction rod, so that the upper traction rod rotates around the upper traction rod adjustment mechanism and folds in half with the lower traction rod;

[0014] Adjust the lower traction rod adjustment mechanism to release the constraints between the lower traction rod and the vehicle body, so that the lower traction rod and the upper traction rod rotate together around the lower traction rod adjustment mechanism and fold in half with the vehicle body; so that the upper traction rod, the lower traction rod and the vehicle body are in a Z-shaped bending and contraction state;

[0015] Pull out the shock absorber adjustment locating pin to release the restraint between the shock absorber and the vehicle body;

[0016] Pull out the positioning pin to release the constraints between the swing arm and the vehicle body, so that the swing arm, along with the driving wheel system and the shock absorber, rotates around the first longitudinal beam and the second longitudinal beam of the vehicle body and folds in half with the vehicle body;

[0017] After folding, the driving wheel system is located at the lower layer of the vehicle body.

[0018] Furthermore, when the vehicle needs to be unfolded, the lower traction rod adjustment mechanism is adjusted to release the constraints on the lower traction rod and the vehicle body, so that the lower traction rod and the upper traction rod rotate together around the lower traction rod adjustment mechanism and unfold to a preset position relative to the vehicle body; the upper traction rod adjustment mechanism is adjusted to release the constraints on the lower traction rod and the upper traction rod, so that the upper traction rod rotates around the upper traction rod adjustment mechanism and unfolds to a preset position relative to the lower traction rod; the rotating swing arm drives the driving wheel system and the shock absorber to rotate around the first longitudinal beam and the second longitudinal beam of the vehicle body and separate from the vehicle body, and the positioning pin is inserted to constrain and fix the folding mechanism and the vehicle body to each other, and the rotating swing arm drives the driving wheel system and the shock absorber to rotate around the hinge, and the shock absorber adjustment positioning pin is inserted to adjust the shock absorber to connect with the vehicle body.

[0020] After splicing, the upper traction bar and the tension pressure sensor are removed from the vehicle, and the sensing system is fixed on the lower traction bar.

The method includes multiple modes, including a flat road power-assisted mode, an uphill and downhill road power-assisted mode, and an inclined road power-assisted mode.

[0022] Further, when the vehicle is in a flat road power-assist mode, the method includes:

[0023] When transporting goods, the upper traction rod is pulled. When the tension pressure sensor detects the pulling force F of the transporter, the elastic element in the tension pressure sensor is slightly deformed, and the strain gauge is also strained, causing the resistance value to change, thereby generating an electrical signal G. out :

[0024] G out =K S *F+G offset ;

[0025] Among them, K S G is the proportional coefficient of the tension pressure sensor; offset is the offset of the output signal;

[0026] After receiving the electrical signal output by the tension and pressure sensor, the vehicle controller amplifies, filters and converts the signal to analog-to-digital to obtain the precise tension and pressure value Fe and compares it with the set threshold; if it is greater than the set threshold, it enters the operation control mode;

[0027] At the same time, the vehicle controller calculates the magnitude and phase angle of the control current according to the motor speed and rotor position through the vector control algorithm, and converts it into a PWM signal and sends it to the motor controller. The power conversion circuit controls the working order and working time of the stator coil in the reluctance motor, thereby driving the rotor to rotate and control the motor operation to generate driving force;

[0028] When the upper traction bar is pushed, the two drive motors of the transport vehicle generate reverse driving force under the control of the power supply and the drive motor controller, thereby reducing the pulling force required to be provided by the porter.

[0029] Furthermore, when the vehicle is in an uphill or downhill road power assist mode, the method includes:

[0030] When transporting goods, pull the upper traction rod. When the pull pressure sensor detects the pulling force F of the transporter, the pull pressure sensor generates an electrical signal G out And transmit it to the vehicle controller arranged in the second crossbeam. At the same time, the IMU sensor updates and feeds back the current vehicle pitch angle θ to the vehicle controller in real time. In the vehicle controller, based on the vehicle pitch angle θ, vehicle weight m and tire size r, the torque Te and PWM duty cycle D required for the transport vehicle to go uphill and downhill are determined:

[0031] Te =F e *r=m*g*sinθ;

[0032]

[0033] Where g is the acceleration due to gravity, U avg is the average voltage at the motor end, U is the rated voltage, P is the output power, K is the constant coefficient, and I is the rated current;

[0034] The vehicle controller transmits the signal to the drive motor controller. Under the control of the power supply and the drive motor controller, the drive motor of the transport vehicle generates driving force to reduce the pulling force required by the transporter.

[0035] When the upper traction rod is pushed, the driving motor of the transport vehicle generates a reverse driving force under the control of the power supply and the driving motor controller.

[0036] Further, when the vehicle is in the inclined road power assist mode, the method includes:

[0037] When transporting goods, the upper traction bar is pulled. When the pulling pressure sensor detects the pulling force F of the cargo carrier, the pulling pressure sensor transmits an electrical signal to the vehicle controller arranged in the second crossbeam. At the same time, the lateral IMU detects the vehicle's rolling driving state and transmits the information to the vehicle controller. The vehicle controller calculates the power assist values ​​required to be provided by the drive motor and the drive motor respectively according to the influence of the vehicle's rolling state on the power assist effect. The vehicle controller transmits the signal to the power management system and the drive motor controller. The two drive motors of the transport vehicle generate different driving forces under the control of the power supply and the drive motor controller.

[0038] When the upper traction rod is pushed, the two drive motors of the transport vehicle generate reverse driving force under the control of the power supply and the drive motor controller.

[0039] The positive effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0040] 1. The invention produces a boosting effect during transportation, which can effectively reduce the labor intensity of porters;

[0041] 2. The invention has a high degree of integration, a small number of parts, and is lightweight while effectively reducing the cost of the entire vehicle;
