Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an electric bicycle, and more particularly to an automatic sensing device for the electric bicycle capable of automatically sensing an external environmental light source and a safety distance. Background Art

[0002] Regarding electric bikes (E-Bikes), many people think that since we want to exercise, why do we need power? Of course, riding a bicycle (bicycle) is definitely better for health than riding an electric bike. If you compare electric bikes with walking, riding a bicycle has a better training effect.

[0003] According to a research report, electric bicycles can provide at least moderate intensity physical activity, which is lower than riding a regular bicycle, but higher than simply walking. Especially for people who did not ride a bicycle often in the past, electric bicycles are a relatively easy start and can improve the physical health (such as cardiopulmonary function) of those who lack exercise.

[0004] In addition, riding an electric bicycle can improve the health of those who lack exercise. At present, when riding an electric bicycle, all riding safety and comfort are visually and self-controlled by the user. For example, the distance between vehicles, the user must visually estimate the distance between the vehicle in front. If riding too fast and too close to the vehicle in front, the rider must always hold the brake system and keep the brake system ready to brake and slow down at any time, which makes it easy to ignore other things during riding. If you are not careful, you can easily hit yourself or fall. You may even be hit by a sudden person, object or vehicle during riding, which will also cause driving insecurity.

[0005] In addition, when riding an electric bicycle when it gets dark or enters a dimly lit space, the user will forget to turn on the headlights and taillights, or other lights on the electric bicycle, which can easily cause the user to collide with people, objects or vehicles, causing driving safety issues.

[0006] Therefore, how to improve the safety of riding an electric bicycle to ensure the life safety of the user is a problem to be solved by the present invention. Summary of the invention

[0007] Therefore, the main purpose of the present invention is to solve the above problems. The present invention integrates an automatic sensing device into the electric bicycle, so that the user can automatically turn on the lighting equipment of the electric bicycle when riding the electric bicycle and ensure the life safety of the user during the riding of the electric bicycle.

[0008] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides an automatic sensing device for an electric bicycle, which is installed on the electric bicycle and electrically connected to a vehicle battery box to drive the light-emitting unit of the electric bicycle, including: a processor, a light sensing unit, at least one warning sensing unit and a warning unit.

The warning unit is electrically connected to the processor. The light sensing unit and the warning unit are driven by the signals output by the light sensing unit and the warning sensing units to operate.

[0013] In one embodiment of the present invention, the light sensing unit outputs a signal to the processor, so that the processor drives the light bar of the frame of the electric bicycle to light up.

[0014] In one embodiment of the present invention, the light sensing unit outputs a signal to the processor, so that the processor transmits power to the wheel rim of the electric bicycle through a brushless structure or a wireless power transmitter to light up the lamp.

[0015] In one embodiment of the present invention, the automatic sensing device further includes an operating unit, which is electrically connected to the processor, and the operating unit outputs an operating signal to the processor.

[0021] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and implement it, but the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0022] See also Figure 1 , which is a schematic diagram of the appearance of the electric bicycle of the present invention. As shown in the figure: the automatic sensing device of the electric bicycle of the present invention mainly integrates an automatic sensing device 200 on the electric bicycle 100, and the automatic sensing device 200 senses the brightness of the surrounding environment when the electric bicycle is riding. When the sky gradually gets dark, the automatic sensing device 200 will start the light-emitting unit 101 or 102 of the electric bicycle 100 to light up, or the light bar (not shown in the figure) provided on the frame 103 or the lamp (not shown in the figure) on the wheel 104 to light up.

[0023] Alternatively, when a dangerous object, such as a vehicle or a flying object (ball), approaches the electric bicycle 100 during riding, the automatic sensing device 200 will send a warning signal to inform the user that a dangerous object is approaching, thereby improving the safety of the user riding the electric bicycle 100.

[0024] See also Figure 2 , which is a circuit block diagram of the automatic sensing device of the present invention; Figure 1As shown in the figure, the automatic sensing device 200 of the present invention includes: a processor 201, an operating unit 202, a light sensing unit 203, a warning sensing unit 204, a warning unit 205 and a display screen 206. The automatic sensing device 200 is connected to the vehicle battery box 105, and the vehicle battery box 105 provides the power required by the automatic sensing device 200.

[0025] The processor 201 is electrically connected to the vehicle battery box 105 to receive various operation and sensing signals to light up the light unit 101 or 102 of the electric bicycle 100, or light up the light bar installed on the frame 103 or the lamp on the wheel 104 (not shown in the figure), or control the emergency danger warning signal. In this figure, the processor is a central processing unit, a digital signal processor, a microprocessor or a microcontroller.

[0026] The operating unit 202 is electrically connected to the processor 201. The operating unit 202 outputs an operating signal to the processor 201 to shut down or start the automatic sensing device 200, or to set the sensing degree and the distance of the external object approaching the electric bicycle 100. In this figure, the operating unit 202 is a plurality of mechanical buttons or touch buttons.

[0027] The light sensing unit 203 is electrically connected to the processor 201. The light sensing unit 203 senses the ambient light source. When the light sensing unit 203 senses that the sky is gradually getting darker or the environment is darker, the light sensing unit 203 outputs a signal to the processor 201, and the processor 201 drives the light unit 101 or 102 of the electric bicycle 100 to light up, or the light bar installed on the frame 103. The output signal of the processor 201 can transmit power to the rim 104 through a brushless structure or a wireless power transmitter to light up the lamp (not shown in the figure). When the sky is bright, the light sensing unit 203 does not output any signal. In this figure, the light sensing unit 203 is a photoresistor, a photoresistor, a photoconductor or a light pipe.

[0028] The warning sensing unit 204 is installed on the frame 103 or the handlebar 105 of the electric bicycle 100 with at least one or more, and is electrically connected to the processor 201. It senses the objects in the surrounding environment of the electric bicycle 100. When an unknown object approaches the electric bicycle, the warning sensing unit 204 will output a signal to the processor 201, so that the processor 201 drives the warning unit 205 to generate a light source flashing or sound warning to inform the user. In this figure, the warning sensing unit 204 is a vehicle distance sensing radar, an anti-collision sensing radar, or a blind spot sensing radar.

[0029] The warning unit 205 is electrically connected to the processor 201. When the warning sensing unit 204 outputs a signal to the processor 201, the processor 201 outputs a signal to drive the warning unit 205 to perform a warning function to inform the user that a dangerous situation is about to occur. In this figure, the warning unit 205 is a lamp or a speaker to generate a light source warning or a sound warning.

[0030] The display screen 206 is electrically connected to the processor 201 to display whether the automatic sensing device 200 is turned on or off, and to display the setting data of the sensing degree and the distance of the external object approaching the electric bicycle 100. In this figure, the display screen 206 is a liquid crystal display or a touch liquid crystal display.

[0031] When the user is riding the electric bicycle 100, the user can adjust the sensitivity of the light sensing unit 203 and the warning sensing unit 204 (this is the prior art, no further details are given here) and the brightness or volume of the warning unit 205 (this is the prior art, no further details are given here) through the operating unit 202. After the adjustment, the automatic sensing device 200 will enter the sensing state of the external sky brightness and warning safety.

[0032] When the user is riding the electric bicycle 100, if the sky is bright, the light sensing unit 203 of the automatic sensing device 200 does not output any signal. Each of the warning sensing units 204 senses the surrounding environment of the electric bicycle 100 at any time. As long as each of the warning sensing units 204 senses an object approaching the electric bicycle 100 from any angle or direction within the sensing range, one of the warning sensing units 204 will output a signal to the processor 201, so that the processor 201 drives the warning unit 205 to generate a light source or sound warning to remind the user that an object is approaching the electric bicycle 100, so as to improve driving safety.

[0033] When the user is riding the electric bicycle 100, if the sky gradually darkens and reaches the sensing setting value of the light sensing unit 203, the light sensing unit 203 outputs a signal to the processor 201, so that the processor 201 drives the light unit 101 or 102 of the electric bicycle 100 to light up, or the light bar installed on the frame 103, or the output signal of the processor 201 can transmit power to the rim 104 through a brushless structure (not shown) or a wireless power transmitter (not shown) to light up the lamp (not shown), so as to automatically light up the lighting equipment and improve driving safety. Similarly, each of the warning sensing units 204 can sense objects in the surrounding environment of the electric bicycle 100 at any time in a dark or low-light environment. As long as each of the warning sensing units 204 senses that an object is approaching the electric bicycle 100 within the sensing range from any angle or direction, one of the warning sensing units 204 will output a signal to the processor 201, so that the processor 201 drives the warning unit 205 to generate a light source or sound warning to remind the user that an object is approaching the electric bicycle 100, thereby improving driving safety.
