[0055] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of an electric-assisted bicycle light control system provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the structure of another electric-assisted bicycle light control system provided by an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of a light control logic of an electric-assisted bicycle provided by an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the system includes: a mobile terminal 10, a control module 20, a light control module 30 and a vehicle light 40;

[0056] The mobile terminal 10 is connected to the control module 20 for communication, and the mobile terminal 10 is used to obtain the user's demand information and send it to the control module 20;

[0057] Among them, the demand information can be understood as the instructions conveyed to the bicycle control system by the user with the help of the mobile terminal 10 based on the various needs of the user for using the electric assisted bicycle, such as binding the vehicle, induction unlocking, vehicle powering on, vehicle powering off, team riding and other operation requests; the mobile terminal 10 is used as a front-end device for the user to interact with the electric assisted bicycle control system, collects the demand information input by the user, and transmits this information to the control module 20 through a communication connection (such as Bluetooth or other remote connection methods) to enable the user to control the bicycle function; the control module 20 is used to control the normal operation of the entire vehicle according to the preset control logic, and receives the demand information from the mobile terminal 10, and generates a lighting control signal matching the demand information according to the preset rules and logic within the system, and transmits it to the lighting control module 30 to control the headlights 40 to form corresponding light language.

[0058] The control module 20 is electrically connected to the lighting control module 30;

[0059] The control module 20 is used to send a lighting control signal corresponding to the demand information to the lighting control module 30 after receiving the demand information;

[0060] The light control module 30 is also electrically connected to the vehicle light 40 ; the light control module 30 is used to control the vehicle light 40 to turn on and off to form a corresponding light language according to the light control signal.

[0061] Among them, the light control signal can be understood as an electrical signal instruction generated by the control module 20 according to the demand information and preset rules, and the instruction carries parameters such as the on and off state, flashing frequency, and duration of the control light 40; the light language can be understood as a visual signal language formed by controlling the light control module 30 to control the light 40 according to a specific on and off and flashing mode, which is used to convey specific information to the outside world in interaction scenarios such as vehicle and person, vehicle and vehicle, and vehicle and environment, such as vehicle status and user intention; the light control module 30 is used to receive the light control signal sent by the control module 20, and drive the light 40 according to the signal to achieve corresponding on and off, flashing and other action combinations, thereby presenting a predetermined light language effect; the light 40 is used to achieve corresponding on and off, flashing and other action combinations under the drive of the light control module 30, so as to realize visual information interaction between the vehicle and the outside world.

[0062] The user first sends demand information (such as binding the vehicle, induction unlocking, powering on the vehicle, powering off the vehicle, riding in a team, etc.) to the control module 20 of the electric-assisted bicycle according to his own needs on the mobile terminal 10 (such as a mobile phone APP). After receiving the above demand information, the control module 20 of the electric-assisted bicycle controls the on and off of the lights 40 according to the preset light control signal corresponding to the demand information.

[0063] Exemplarily, the user first selects the vehicle power-on function on the mobile phone APP, and the mobile phone APP sends the vehicle power-on information to the control module 20 of the electric-assisted bicycle. After receiving the vehicle power-on information, the control module 20 will search for the corresponding light control signal rules in the preset rule library stored in it, and determine a set of flashing signals with a specific frequency (such as flashing quickly 3 times) as the light control signal for the vehicle to power on. Similarly, for the vehicle power-off signal, it may be a light signal that flashes slowly 5 times. Finally, the control module 20 sends the light control signal to the light control module 30 to control the car lights 40 to execute.

[0064] In the electric-assisted bicycle light control system provided by the implementation of the present invention, the mobile terminal is connected to the control module for communication. The mobile terminal is used to obtain the user's demand information and send it to the control module, so that the user can conveniently control the vehicle function, enhance the interactivity between the user and the bicycle, and improve the overall use experience. The control module is electrically connected to the light control module; the control module is used to send a light control signal corresponding to the demand information to the light control module after receiving the demand information; the light control module is also electrically connected to the vehicle light; the light control module is used to control the vehicle light to turn on and off according to the light control signal to form a corresponding light language, and then the light control module accurately controls the vehicle light to turn on and off to form a corresponding light language, in the interaction scenes such as vehicle and person, vehicle and vehicle, vehicle and environment, etc., information is quickly and intuitively conveyed, thereby enhancing the vehicle interaction experience and product uniqueness, and improving the safety and fun of riding.

[0065] like Figure 2 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the control module 20 includes a remote information control unit 21 and a digital control unit 22; the remote information control unit 21 is communicatively connected to the mobile terminal 10, and the digital control unit 22 is electrically connected to the remote information control unit 21; the remote information control unit 21 is used to obtain the user's demand information sent by the mobile terminal 10 and send it to the digital control unit 22; the digital control unit 22 is used to generate a corresponding lighting control signal based on the demand information and / or the current vehicle status information and send it to the lighting control module 30. Among them, the remote information control unit 21 can be understood as an information hub between the mobile terminal 10 and the digital control unit 22, which is used to receive various types of user demand information sent by the mobile terminal 10, and transmit this information to the digital control unit 22. At the same time, the remote information control unit 21 converts the information format to adapt to the receiving requirements of the digital control unit 22; the digital control unit 22 is used to receive user demand information from the remote information control unit 21, and combined with the current vehicle status information obtained from other vehicle systems (such as vehicle speed, battery power, riding mileage, defense status, etc.), provide corresponding lighting control signals to the lighting control module 30 through preset control strategies; vehicle status information can be understood as a collection of information reflecting the operating status and internal system parameters of the electric assisted bicycle (such as vehicle speed, battery power, riding mileage, defense status, etc.).

[0066] When the user sends demand information through the mobile terminal 10, the remote information control unit 21 receives the information and forwards it to the digital control unit 22. The digital control unit 22 collects the corresponding vehicle status information according to the requirements of the demand information. If the vehicle meets the corresponding requirements at this time, the digital control unit 22 generates a specific light control signal according to the preset light control logic, and sends the signal to the light control module 30.

[0067] Exemplarily, when a user sends a request for team riding through the mobile terminal 10, the remote information control unit 21 receives the information and forwards it to the digital control unit 22. The digital control unit 22 collects vehicle status information at the same time. If other team riding vehicles are detected nearby, the digital control unit 22 generates a corresponding light control signal (such as making the vehicle's ambient light 41 flash at a specific flashing rhythm) according to the preset team riding light control logic, and sends the signal to the light control module 30. The light control module 30 drives the headlights 40 to work according to the signal requirements, and displays the light language that the vehicle has entered the team riding mode to surrounding vehicles and pedestrians, so as to facilitate teammates to identify and other traffic participants to pay attention.

[0068] Optionally, the electric-assisted bicycle light control system further includes a motor controller 50, which is electrically connected to the digital control unit 22; the digital control unit 22 is also used to receive a wheel speed signal sent by the motor controller 50, and calculate the current riding mileage in real time according to the wheel speed signal;

[0069] The demand information includes the target riding mileage, and the current vehicle status information includes the current riding mileage;

[0070] The digital control unit 22 is further configured to send a mileage riding light control signal to the light control unit 30 when the current riding mileage reaches the target riding mileage.

[0071] Among them, the motor controller 50 is used to control the normal operation of the motor of the electric assisted bicycle and obtain the motor's operating speed information in real time; the wheel speed signal can be understood as the motor's operating speed information obtained in real time by the motor controller 50 (such as a periodic electrical pulse signal or an analog voltage signal, whose frequency or amplitude is proportional to the motor's rotational speed); the target riding mileage can be understood as the expected riding distance value pre-set by the user through the mobile terminal 10, representing the travel goal that the user plans to achieve during this riding process; the current riding mileage can be understood as the digital control unit 22 based on the wheel speed signal sent by the motor controller 50, combined with the time factor, through integral operations and other methods to calculate the cumulative distance that the vehicle has traveled since a certain moment; the mileage riding light control signal can be understood as the digital control unit 22 determines that the current riding mileage reaches the target riding mileage, and generates a light control instruction according to the rules and logic preset in the system.

[0072] Specifically, during riding, the motor controller 50 continuously monitors the operation of the motor and sends the corresponding wheel speed signal to the digital control unit 22. When the digital control unit 22 receives the user's target riding demand signal, it calculates the current riding mileage of the vehicle from the time the target riding demand signal is received. When the current riding mileage is greater than or equal to the target riding mileage, the digital control unit 22 sends a mileage riding light control signal to the light control unit 30 to control the vehicle light 40 to flash, indicating to the user that the set riding goal has been successfully completed.

[0073] Optionally, the electric-assisted bicycle light control system further includes a battery management module 60; the battery management module 60 is electrically connected to the digital control unit 22;

[0074] The battery management module 60 is used to send a battery charging signal to the digital control unit 22 when the vehicle is charging;

[0075] Current vehicle status information includes battery charging signal;

[0076] The digital control unit 22 is used to send a battery charging light control signal to the light control unit 30 according to the battery charging signal.

[0077] Among them, the battery management module 60 is used to monitor the charging process and status of the electric assisted bicycle battery. When it is detected that the vehicle is connected to the charging device and starts charging, it generates and sends a battery charging signal to the digital control unit 22. At the same time, it continuously monitors the battery power, voltage, current and other parameters during the charging process to ensure the safety and stability of the charging process; the battery charging signal can be understood as an electrical signal identifier generated by the battery management module 60 when the vehicle is charging, which is used to notify the digital control unit 22 that the vehicle has entered the charging state; the battery charging light control signal can be understood as a light control instruction generated by the digital control unit 22 according to the received battery charging signal and the rules and logic preset in the system.

[0078] Specifically, when the user connects the electric-assisted bicycle to the charger for charging, the battery management module 60 detects the charging behavior and generates a battery charging signal containing charging start information and sends it to the digital control unit 22. After receiving the signal, the digital control unit 22 generates a corresponding battery charging light control signal to control the vehicle light 40 to flash according to the internal preset charging light control logic, so that the user can confirm the charging status of the vehicle without checking the charging indicator on the charger or the dashboard, thereby realizing visual monitoring of the charging status of the vehicle.

[0079] Optionally, the demand information includes a power-off signal;

[0080] The digital control unit 22 is also used to send a power-off light control signal to the light control unit 30 according to the power-off signal, and send a battery power-off signal to the battery management module 60;

[0081] The battery management module 60 is also used to control the vehicle to enter a power-off state according to the battery power-off signal.

[0082] The power-off signal can be understood as a command signal sent by the user through the mobile terminal 10 to instruct the electric bicycle to shut down the power system; the power-off state can be understood as the low-power or no-power working state entered by the entire system after the vehicle receives the battery power-off signal sent by the battery management module 60. At this time, the motor of the vehicle stops running, most electronic control units, sensors and other equipment stop working, and only necessary components are retained to maintain a low-power state.

[0083] Specifically, when the user finishes riding or needs to park the vehicle for a long time, the user can click the power-off operation button through the mobile terminal 10 to send a power-off signal to the digital control unit 22. After receiving the power-off signal, the digital control unit 22 will generate a power-off light control signal according to the preset logic and send it to the light control unit 30, so that the headlight 40 displays the prompt information that the vehicle is about to be powered off according to a specific light-off mode (such as flashing several times and then turning off); on the other hand, the digital control unit 22 will send a battery power-off signal to the battery management module 60. After receiving the battery power-off signal, the battery management module 60 will cut off the power supply to various components of the vehicle, gradually shut down the power supply of the motor controller 50, the display control unit and other devices, so that the vehicle enters the power-off state smoothly, and only the necessary components are kept to work to maintain a low power consumption state.

[0084] Optionally, the digital control unit 22 is further configured to control the vehicle to enter an active defense state after a first preset time delay when the vehicle enters a power-off state;

[0085] The remote information control unit 21 is used to perform real-time vehicle positioning in the active defense state, obtain the real-time positioning information of the vehicle and send it to the digital control unit 22;

[0086] The digital control unit 22 is used to perform at least one of the following when it is determined that the vehicle position has changed based on the real-time positioning information:

[0087] Sending alarm information to the mobile terminal 10 via the remote information control unit 21;

[0088] Sending alarm information to a remote server via the remote information control unit 21;

[0089] Send an alarm light control signal to the light control unit 30.

[0090] Among them, the first preset time can be understood as a preset period of time from the time the vehicle enters the power-off state to the time it automatically enters the active defense state. The first preset time is set by the system to ensure that the vehicle has enough time to stabilize and is ready to enter the active defense state after stopping. The first preset time can be adjusted according to actual needs and vehicle performance, for example, it can be set to 30 seconds; the active defense state can be understood as a safety protection mode that is automatically activated after the first preset time after the power is turned off. In this state, the vehicle's positioning system continues to work and monitors the vehicle's position in real time. Once an abnormal change in the vehicle's position is detected, the system will immediately take corresponding alarm and warning measures to prevent the vehicle from being stolen or unauthorized movement; real-time positioning information can be understood as the real-time positioning information installed on the vehicle The information of the current geographical location of the vehicle is obtained by the installed positioning device (such as GPS, Beidou, etc.), and the real-time positioning information is updated at a certain time interval (such as every 10 seconds) and sent to the digital control unit 22; the alarm information can be understood as a warning notification sent by the digital control unit 22 to the mobile terminal 10 (such as the user's mobile phone APP) and / or the remote server when the digital control unit 22 determines that the vehicle position has changed and is in an active defense state; the remote server can be understood as a data storage and processing center, which is used to receive and store the vehicle's positioning information, alarm information and other data to realize remote monitoring and management of the vehicle status; the alarm light control signal can be understood as a light control instruction generated by the digital control unit 22 when an abnormal change in the vehicle position is detected and sent to the light control unit 30 to prompt the abnormal change in position.

[0091] Specifically, when the user finishes riding and issues a power-off command through the mobile terminal 10, the vehicle enters the power-off state. At this time, the timer inside the digital control unit 22 starts working. After the first preset time (such as 10 minutes), the digital control unit 22 sends a command to the relevant security system of the vehicle to make the vehicle enter the active defense state. In the active defense state, the positioning device (such as a GPS module) on the vehicle obtains the real-time positioning information of the vehicle at a frequency of once every 10 seconds, and transmits this information to the digital control unit 22 in a timely manner. If the vehicle's position changes due to external forces (such as being towed away by criminals), the real-time positioning information received by the digital control unit 22 shows that the deviation between the vehicle's position and the initial defense position exceeds the system's preset safety range, the digital control unit 22 activates the alarm mechanism and executes at least one of the following alarm strategies: (1) Send an alarm message to the user's mobile terminal 10 through the remote information control unit 21, such as popping up a notification on the user's mobile phone APP to inform the user that the vehicle's position has changed abnormally. (2) The digital control unit 22 sends an alarm message to the remote server, which records the alarm message including the vehicle identification code, alarm time, location change data, etc., and selects further vehicle protection strategies according to the user's settings. (3) The digital control unit 22 sends an alarm light control signal to the light control unit 30, driving the vehicle's lights 40 (such as the tail lights 42 and the side ambient lights 41) to light up in a warning mode, attracting the attention of surrounding personnel so that they can promptly discover abnormal conditions of the vehicle.

[0092] Optionally, the demand information includes a vehicle arming signal;

[0093] The digital control unit 22 is used to send a battery power-off signal to the battery management module 60 according to the vehicle defense signal, and control the vehicle to enter the active defense state after a delay of a second preset time;

[0094] The remote information control unit 21 is used to perform real-time vehicle positioning in the active defense state, obtain the real-time positioning information of the vehicle and send it to the digital control unit 22;

[0095] The digital control unit 22 is used to perform at least one of the following when it is determined that the vehicle position has changed based on the real-time positioning information:

[0096] Sending alarm information to the mobile terminal 10 via the remote information control unit 21;

[0097] Sending alarm information to a remote server via the remote information control unit 21;

[0098] Send an alarm light control signal to the light control unit 30.

[0099] Among them, the second preset time can be understood as the preset time interval from the digital control unit 22 sending a battery power-off signal to the battery management module 60 after receiving the vehicle defense signal to the vehicle officially entering the active defense state. Exemplarily, the second preset time can be 30 seconds.

[0100] Specifically, when the user sends a vehicle defense signal through the mobile terminal 10, the digital control unit 22 first sends a battery power-off signal to the battery management module 60, so that the vehicle enters the power-off process. Subsequently, the timer inside the digital control unit 22 starts working, and after a set second preset time (such as 30 seconds), the digital control unit 22 sends a command to the relevant security system of the vehicle to make the vehicle enter the active defense state. In the active defense state, the positioning device (such as a GPS module) on the vehicle obtains the real-time positioning information of the vehicle at a frequency of once every 10 seconds, and transmits this information to the digital control unit 22 in a timely manner. If the vehicle position changes due to external forces (such as being towed away by criminals), the real-time positioning information received by the digital control unit 22 shows that the deviation between the vehicle position and the initial defense position exceeds the system preset safety range, the digital control unit 22 activates the alarm mechanism and executes at least one of the following alarm strategies: (1) Send an alarm message to the user's mobile terminal 10 through the remote information control unit 21, such as popping up a notification on the user's mobile phone APP to inform the user that the vehicle position has changed abnormally. (2) The digital control unit 22 sends an alarm message to the remote server, which records the alarm message including the vehicle identification code, alarm time, location change data, etc., and selects further vehicle protection strategies according to the user's settings. (3) The digital control unit 22 sends an alarm light control signal to the light control unit 30, driving the vehicle's lights 40 (such as the headlights, taillights 42, and side ambient lights 41) to light up in a warning mode, attracting the attention of surrounding personnel so that they can promptly discover abnormal conditions of the vehicle.

[0101] Optionally, the demand information includes a group riding signal;

[0102] The digital control unit 22 is used to control the vehicle to enter the group riding mode according to the group riding signal;

[0103] The remote information control unit 21 is used to send a communication establishment request to other vehicles in the team riding mode, and after completing the communication connection, send the communication connection completion status information to the digital control unit 22;

[0104] Current vehicle status information includes completed communication connection status information;

[0105] The digital control unit 22 is used to send a greeting light control signal to the light control unit 30 according to the communication connection status information.

[0106] Among them, the team riding signal can be understood as a control signal for entering the team riding mode sent by the user to the digital control unit 22 through the mobile terminal 10; the team riding mode can be understood as an electric assisted bicycle working mode suitable for the needs of team riding; the communication establishment request can be understood as an interactive signal for establishing a team request sent by the remote information control unit 21 to other surrounding vehicles in the team riding mode; the communication connection status information can be understood as information on the communication connection status between the vehicle and other vehicles, for example, different states such as connected, connecting, and connection failed.

[0107] Specifically, when the user operates on the mobile terminal 10 and sends a team riding signal to the digital control unit 22, the digital control unit 22 controls the vehicle to enter the team riding mode. In the team riding mode, the vehicle sends a communication establishment request to other vehicles within a certain range around it through the remote information control unit 21 (such as Bluetooth). When other vehicles receive this request and agree to join the team or are already in the team riding mode and allow new members to join, the vehicles of both parties will perform a series of communication protocol interactions and verifications. After completing the communication connection, the remote information control unit 21 sends the communication connection status information to the digital control unit 22. The digital control unit 22 generates a greeting light control signal based on the communication connection status information and sends it to the light control unit 30. After receiving the signal, the light control unit 30 controls the vehicle's lights 40 (such as headlights or taillights 42) to send a friendly greeting signal to the surrounding teammate vehicles in a specific flashing mode, indicating that the vehicle is ready to start team riding, and it is also convenient for teammates to quickly visually identify the team status of the vehicle, enhancing the interactivity and fun of the team riding process.

[0108] Optionally, the vehicle lights include ambient lights 41 and tail lights 42;

[0109] The ambient lights 41 are arranged on both sides of the body of the electric-assisted bicycle, and the tail lights 42 are arranged on the rear side of the body of the electric-assisted bicycle;

[0110] The lighting control signal includes an ambient light control signal and a tail light control signal.

[0111] Among them, the atmosphere light 41 can be understood as a lighting device installed on both sides of the electric-assisted bicycle body, which is mainly used to create a visual atmosphere and assist in conveying information; the taillight 42 can be understood as a lamp on the rear side of the electric-assisted bicycle body, which is used to provide clear position and status indications to other road users behind the vehicle during driving. In this system, in addition to the conventional lighting warning function, the taillight is also used to present special light language corresponding to the vehicle status or demand signal according to the lighting control signal; the atmosphere light control signal can be understood as the atmosphere light control instruction sent by the lighting control module to the atmosphere light 41; the taillight control signal can be understood as the taillight control instruction sent by the lighting control module to the taillight 42.

[0112] Specifically, when the vehicle lights include ambient lights 41 and tail lights 42, the corresponding lighting control signals also include ambient light control signals and tail light control signals. When the vehicle is in different states or receives different user demand information, the digital control unit 22 will generate corresponding ambient light control signals and tail light control signals to control the working states of the ambient lights 41 and tail lights 42.

[0113] Exemplarily, when the vehicle receives a vehicle power-on signal sent by the user through the mobile terminal 10, the digital control unit 22 generates a corresponding lighting control signal according to preset rules. The ambient light control signal controls the ambient light 41 to flash slowly in yellow multiple times, so that vehicles and pedestrians on both sides of the vehicle body can observe the start of the vehicle; at the same time, the tail light control signal controls the tail light 42 to light up with a constantly bright white light, ensuring that vehicles and pedestrians behind can observe the start of the vehicle.

[0114] Based on the above embodiments, an embodiment of the present invention also provides an electric-assisted bicycle, including an electric-assisted bicycle body and an electric-assisted bicycle light control system provided by any of the above embodiments, which has all the beneficial effects of the electric-assisted bicycle light control system, and the same parts will not be repeated.
