Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to a motorcycle. Background Art
[0002] At present, the gear shifting methods used by traditional motorcycles are mainly mechanical gear shifting modes such as shifting with hands and feet, and pedal shifting. Gear shifting requires manual operation by users, and the operation is complicated. For novice drivers, when driving cruise vehicles or SUV models in complex working conditions, such as long-distance travel, riding in rainy days, climbing and other special working conditions, there will be gear shift fatigue, unclear vision, and decreased concentration. Mechanical gear shifting is more challenging for users' driving skills, and the operation is difficult. It is difficult to ensure that the gear shifting operation is performed at the best time. Improper operation can easily affect the stability and safety of motorcycle driving, and may cause harm to the driver and passengers. Summary of the invention
[0003] The purpose of the present application is to provide a motorcycle whose gear shifting operation is simple and convenient and does not affect the stability and safety of motorcycle driving.
[0004] Based on the above purpose, the present application provides a motorcycle with a shifting system, including a frame, a power source, a suspension assembly, a wheel, and a transmission assembly. The power source includes an engine, which is supported by the frame, the suspension assembly is connected to the frame, the wheel is connected to the frame through the suspension assembly, a shifting mechanism is provided on the transmission assembly, and the transmission assembly connects the wheel and the power source. The motorcycle also includes a shifting assembly, a detection assembly, an operating assembly, a control assembly, and an actuator. The shift assembly includes a shift mechanism connected to the transmission assembly and an actuator driving the shift mechanism to shift gears. The shift mechanism realizes the shift function, and the actuator receives the drive of the shift mechanism to realize the final shift. The detection assembly includes a wheel speed sensor, an engine speed sensor and a gear sensor. The wheel speed sensor is used to detect the speed of the motorcycle, the engine speed sensor is used to detect the engine speed, and the gear sensor is used to detect the gear position of the shift assembly. The operation assembly includes a shift switch for switching the gear position of the shift assembly. The control assembly includes a shift controller for controlling the operation of the actuator. The control assembly can determine the target gear position according to the engine speed and the gear position of the shift assembly currently detected by the detection assembly, and control the actuator to drive the shift mechanism to shift gears according to the determined target gear position, and the shift controller can receive the shift instruction sent by the shift switch, and control the actuator to drive the shift mechanism to shift gears according to the shift instruction.
[0005] Furthermore, the control component also includes an electronic control unit, which sends the received signal to the shift controller. After receiving the signal, the shift controller enters automatic shift mode or manual shift mode. When the shift component enters automatic shift mode, the shift controller determines the target gear according to the engine speed and the gear position of the shift component detected by the detection component currently received, and sends a shift instruction to the actuator according to the determined target gear. When the shift component enters manual shift mode, the shift controller receives the shift instruction sent by the shift switch, and controls the actuator to drive the shift mechanism to shift gears according to the shift instruction.
[0006] Further, the operating component includes a switch, a handle and an instrument. The switch includes a shift mode switch for switching the shift mode of the shift component and a shift up and down shift switch for manually switching up or down in the manual shift mode. The instrument displays the shift mode switch. The instrument is used to display information such as motorcycle fault information, current gear position and target gear position. The shift mode switch is used to issue a shift mode switching instruction. The switch shift controller enters the automatic shift mode or the manual shift mode according to the shift mode switching instruction. The shift mode switch can be at least one of a screen key, a button, a knob and a toggle key. Optionally, the shift mode switch is installed on the handle. The shift up and down shift switch can be at least one of a button, a knob and a toggle key. The handle includes a clutch, which is used for braking and shifting up and down of the motorcycle. In the manual shift mode, the clutch is pressed, and the shift up and down shift switch cooperates with the clutch to complete up or down shifting.
[0007] Furthermore, the detection component includes a rain sensor, which is communicatively connected to the electronic control unit. When the rain sensor detects rainy road conditions, it sends a signal to the electronic control unit. When the electronic control unit determines that no shift signal and turn signal are received, it sends a shift instruction to the shift controller to enter the automatic shift mode.
[0008] Furthermore, the detection component also includes an angle detection device, which is installed on the frame or body cover. Optionally, the angle detection device is installed on the central axis of the body. The angle detection device is communicatively connected to the electronic control unit. The angle detection device detects the rate of change of the body inclination angle. When the body inclination angle changes to zero, the angle detection device outputs a signal to the electronic control unit. After receiving the signal, the electronic control unit sends a shift command to the shift controller, and the shift controller enters the automatic shift mode.
[0009] Furthermore, the angle detection device includes a six-axis sensor and a gyroscope device.
[0010] Furthermore, the actuator driving the shift mechanism to shift gears includes a shift motor and a shift hub, the shift motor and the shift hub are connected by a transmission method, a detachable gear position sensor is installed on the shift hub, and the shift motor drives the shift hub to complete the gear shift when receiving the shift command from the gear position sensor.
[0011] Furthermore, the shift motor and the shift hub include transmission through a worm gear method. The shift motor is connected to the worm gear, and rotates to drive the buffer worm gear. The rotation of the buffer worm gear causes the input gear to rotate, and the input gear drives the output gear to rotate. The output gear transmits torque and speed to the shift hub gear through the idler gear. The shift hub gear is connected to the shift hub by bolts, thereby driving the shift hub to rotate and drive the shift fork to move, thereby achieving gear switching. The angle of the shift fork driven by the rotation of the shift hub is coordinated with the command output by the gear sensor. When the shift motor receives the shift command from the gear sensor, it drives the shift hub to complete the gear shifting and realize the shifting function.
[0012] Furthermore, the transmission method of the shift motor and the shift hub includes gear transmission.
[0013] Furthermore, the shift motor includes a DC brush motor and a DC brushless motor.
[0014] Furthermore, the detection component obtains the current motorcycle speed, engine speed and gear position of the shift component, obtains the currently received engine speed signal or shift component gear position signal, determines the target gear position based on the engine speed and gear position of the shift component currently detected by the detection component, and controls the actuator to drive the shift mechanism to shift gears based on the determined target gear position. The shift controller can receive the shift command sent by the shift switch, and controls the actuator to drive the shift mechanism to shift gears based on the shift command.
[0015] Furthermore, the information acquired by the detection component also includes data information transmitted by the rain sensor and the angle detection device, and the acquired signal is sent to the electronic control unit. When the electronic control unit determines that the shift signal and turning signal transmitted by the shift switch are not received, the shift controller enters the automatic shift mode.
[0016] The motorcycle can transmit a signal to the control component according to the gear signal and the engine speed to control the gear shift component to shift gears, so that the target gear and the engine speed match each other. When receiving the gear shift instruction sent by the gear shift switch, the gear shift controller can control the actuator to drive the gear shift mechanism to shift gears according to the gear shift instruction, so that the gear shift operation of the motorcycle is simple and fast, and will not affect the stability and safety of motorcycle driving.

[0025] In order to make the technical scheme of the present invention better understood by the persons skilled in the art, the technical scheme in the specific implementation of the present invention will be described clearly and completely in combination with the drawings in the implementation of the present invention. However, these implementations do not limit the invention, and the structural, methodological or functional changes made by the ordinary technicians in the field according to these implementations are all included in the protection scope of the present invention.
[0026] like Figure 1As shown, the present application provides a motorcycle 10, including a frame 11, a power source 12, a suspension assembly 13, a wheel 14, a transmission assembly 15, a shift assembly 16, a detection assembly 17, an operation assembly 18, a control assembly 19 and an actuator 20. The power source 12 includes an engine 121, and the engine 121 is supported by the frame 11. The suspension assembly 13 is connected to the frame 11, and the wheel 14 is connected to the frame 11 through the suspension assembly 13. The transmission assembly 15 connects the wheel 14 and the power source 12. The shift assembly 16 includes a shift mechanism 161 connected to the transmission assembly 15 and an actuator 162 that drives the shift mechanism 161 to shift gears. The detection assembly 17 includes an engine speed sensor 171 and a gear position sensor 172. The engine speed sensor 171 is used to detect the speed of the engine 121, and the gear position sensor 172 is used to detect the gear position of the shift assembly 16. The operating component 18 includes a switch 181, a handle 182 and an instrument 183. The switch 181 includes a shift mode switch 1811 for switching the shift mode of the shift component 16 and an up / down shift switch 1812 for manually switching up or down gears in a manual shift mode. The up / down shift position switch 1812 is installed on the handle 182 to facilitate the driver to operate the operating component 18 at any time. The shift mode switch 1811 is used to issue a shift mode switching instruction, and the switch shift controller 191 enters the automatic shift mode or the manual shift mode according to the shift mode switching instruction. The shift mode switch 1811 can be at least one of a screen key, a button, a knob and a toggle key, and the up / down gear shift switch 1812 can be at least one of a button, a knob and a toggle key. The handle 182 is installed with a clutch 1821 and an up / down gear position switch 1812. The clutch 1821 is used for braking and up / down gearing of the motorcycle 10. In manual shift mode, the clutch and the up / down gear position switch are pressed to complete upshifting or downshifting of the motorcycle 10. The instrument 183 has a shift mode switch 1811 for switching the shift mode of the shift assembly 16, which is used for selecting the manual shift mode and the automatic shift mode of the motorcycle 10, and displays the fault information, current gear position and target gear position of the motorcycle 10. Optionally, the shift mode switch 1811 can be installed on the handle 182. The control component 19 includes a shift controller 191 for controlling the operation of the actuator 162. The control component 19 can determine the target gear position based on the speed of the engine 121 and the gear position of the shift component 16 currently detected by the receiving detection component 17, and control the actuator 162 to drive the shift mechanism 161 to shift gears according to the determined target gear position. The shift controller 191 can receive the shift instruction sent by the switch 181, and control the actuator 162 to drive the shift mechanism 161 to shift gears according to the shift instruction.
[0027] The detection component 17 includes a rain sensor 173, which is installed at the front end or the highest point of the frame 11. Optionally, the rain sensor 173 is installed at the front windshield or the rearview mirror. When the rain sensor 173 detects rain, the rain sensor 173 sends a detection signal to the electronic control unit 192. In the absence of manual shifting operation and turning, the electronic control unit 192 receives the signal from the rain sensor 173 and sends a shift instruction to the shift controller 191 to switch to automatic shifting mode. The shift controller 191 automatically reads the current engine 121 speed, the gear sensor 172 reads the current gear, and the shift motor 201 drives the shift hub to switch gears so that the engine 121 speed and the gear sensor 172 match to achieve the shifting purpose.
[0028] The detection component 17 includes an angle detection device 174, which is installed on the frame 11 or the body cover. Optionally, the angle detection device is installed on the central axis of the body. Optionally, the angle detection device is installed at the center of gravity of the body to detect the rate of change of the body inclination angle. Optionally, the angle detection device 174 is a 6D sensor or a gyroscope. When the angle detection device 174 detects that the body inclination angle changes to zero, it is determined that the motorcycle 10 is in a non-turning state, that is, a bend exit state, and sends a bend exit signal to the electronic control unit 192. After receiving the signal from the angle detection device 174, the electronic control unit 192 cooperates with the signal sent by the rain sensor 173 to send a shift instruction to the shift controller 191 to switch to the automatic shift mode. The angle detection device 174 detects that the rate of change of the body inclination angle is large, and determines that the motorcycle 10 is not in a sharp turn state. The electronic control unit 192 does not send a shift instruction to make the shift controller 191 enter the automatic shift mode.
[0029] like Figure 2As shown, the actuator 20 includes a shift motor 201, a gear sensor 172 and a shift hub 202. The shift motor 201 and the shift hub 202 are connected by a worm gear transmission. The shift motor 201 is connected to the worm 203, and rotates to drive the buffer worm wheel 204. The rotation of the buffer worm wheel 204 causes the input gear 205 to rotate. The input gear 205 is connected to the fixed shaft 206 to drive the output gear 207 to rotate. The output gear 207 transmits torque and speed to the gear of the shift hub 202 through the idler gear 208. The gear of the shift hub 202 is connected to the shift hub 202 by a bolt 209, thereby driving the shift hub 202 to rotate and drive the shift fork to move, thereby realizing gear switching. The angle of the shift hub 202 driving the shift fork to move is coordinated with the command output by the gear sensor 172. When the shift motor 201 receives the shift command from the gear sensor 172, it drives the shift hub 202 to complete the gear shifting and realize the shifting function. The gear position sensor 172 is detachably mounted on the gear shift hub 202. Optionally, the transmission method also includes a gear transmission method. Optionally, the gear shift motor 201 includes but is not limited to a DC brush motor and a DC brushless motor.
[0030] Optionally, the clutch 1821 controls the electric oil pump by a button device or a switch device to operate the clutch cylinder piston. The electronic control unit 192 calculates the optimal engagement time and speed of the clutch based on feedback information such as the gear position of the shift mechanism 161 and the speed detected by the engine speed sensor 171. The electronic control unit 192 drives the clutch cylinder piston to move, thereby realizing the action of the clutch 1821 and the gear shifting of the motorcycle.
[0031] like Figure 3As shown, the motorcycle 10 has two shift modes, one is a manual shift mode, which replaces the traditional mode of controlling the shift by parts at the foot position, and the other is an automatic shift mode. When the motorcycle activates the manual shift mode, when the motorcycle speed increases, the engine 121 speed reaches the preset speed range, the motorcycle's shift mechanism 161 needs to be in the corresponding gear to match the current speed of the motorcycle, and the driver presses the upshift gear of the upshift shift switch 1812 to the corresponding gear, and the shift controller 191 controls the actuator 162 to achieve the shift of the shift mechanism 161 after receiving the signal, so that the current speed and the current gear match. When the motorcycle encounters an obstacle and needs to slow down and downshift, the driver presses the downshift gear of the upshift shift switch 1812, and the shift controller 191 controls the actuator 162 to achieve the shift of the shift mechanism 161 after receiving the signal, so that the current speed and the current gear match. The motorcycle uses the automatic shifting mode, pre-sets different speed intervals, and sets corresponding gears according to different speed intervals. The shift controller 191 automatically reads the engine 121 speed signal. When the engine 121 speed is in the corresponding preset speed interval, the shift controller 191 sends a signal to the actuator 162, and the actuator 162 drives the shift mechanism 161 to shift to the corresponding gear. For example, the speed of the motorcycle 10 can be set to low speed, medium speed and high speed intervals, and the corresponding gears are low, medium and high gears. When the speed interval changes from the low speed interval to the medium speed interval, the corresponding shift mechanism 161 switches the gear to the medium gear. The driver does not need to operate the up-down gear shift switch 1812 to change the gear. By increasing the engine 121 speed to the preset value, the gear is automatically changed and matched with the current speed to achieve the target gear.
[0032] When the motorcycle 10 is started, the manual shift mode is set by default. The driver can select different shift modes according to different road conditions and select the shift mode according to the driver's driving needs. The driver can maintain the manual shift mode or switch to the automatic shift mode after starting the motorcycle 10. When the motorcycle maintains the manual shift mode, the driver operates the up / down shift switch 1812 on the operating component 18 to select the gear according to actual needs, the actuator 162 responds after receiving the signal of the shift controller 191, and the shift motor 201 drives the shift hub 202 to complete the shift operation, so that the gear signal received by the gear sensor 172 matches the gear of the up / down shift switch 1812. When encountering road conditions such as climbing a slope, the motorcycle 10 has insufficient climbing ability due to reasons such as the heavy body, outdated in-vehicle sensor devices and the driver's lack of driving ability. This may lead to difficulties in gear connection during climbing or slipping when parking on a slope. If the driver feels that the manual shifting mode is difficult or the experience is reduced due to the poor gear connection during shifting, he can choose to switch to the automatic shifting mode. At this time, the actuator 162 receives the vehicle speed signal and drives the shift hub 202 to the corresponding gear, and automatically selects a matching gear according to the speed range of the motorcycle 10, so that the motorcycle 10 can reach the appropriate power for climbing and prevent slipping. At the same time, switching the gear shifting mode of the motorcycle 10 to the automatic shifting mode can also avoid interruptions in climbing due to the driver's incorrect gear shifting timing, thereby improving the stability of the driving vehicle. Under normal road conditions, the driver can also choose the gear shifting mode of the motorcycle 10 according to the driving needs at the time. In order to feel the operation, the manual shift mode can be selected. When traveling long distances and focusing on comfort, the automatic shift mode can be selected. When the driver is tired of frequently operating the up and down gear shift switch 1812 when the vehicle passes through a congested road section or a traffic light intersection, the automatic shift mode can be selected. After passing the road section, the manual shift mode can be selected again. When the motorcycle switches to the automatic shift mode, the driver operates the shift mode switch 1811 on the operating component 18 to the automatic shift mode. After receiving the user's shift request, the shift controller 191 transmits the driver's shift request and the current gear signal to the actuator 162. The actuator 162 responds after receiving the user's shift intention. The gear sensor 172 in the actuator 162 cooperates with the shift motor 201 to drive the shift hub 202 to complete the shift operation.
[0033] like Figure 4As shown, the motorcycle 10 defaults to manual shift mode when it is started, and the driver does not switch gears. When the rain sensor 173 detects rain during the start or travel of the motorcycle 10, the rain sensor 173 sends a rain detection signal to the electronic control unit 192. The electronic control unit 192 controls the transmission of a signal instruction to switch the shift mode to the shift controller 191 after receiving the signal sent by the rain sensor 173. The shift controller 191 enters the automatic shift mode according to the shift mode instruction. The shift controller 191 automatically reads the current vehicle speed, the engine 121 speed and the power gear information, and controls the gear sensor 172 in the actuator 162 to cooperate with the shift motor 201 to drive the shift hub 202 to switch the gear, so that the gear matches the current vehicle speed. However, when the motorcycle 10 is in manual shifting operation or the angle detection device 174 detects that the rate of change of the inclination angle of the motorcycle 10 is not zero, the electronic control unit 192 will not send a command signal for switching the shift mode to the shift controller 191 after receiving the signal from the angle detection device 174, and the shift mode will not be switched to the automatic shift mode. When the rain sensor 173 no longer detects rain within a preset time after detecting rain, the driver can operate the operating component 18 to switch the motorcycle to manual shift mode according to driving needs. Among them, the preset time for the rain sensor detection can be set by oneself. When the rain sensor 173 does not detect rain, the motorcycle 10 maintains the manual shift mode and does not switch to the automatic shift mode.
[0034] like Figure 5 As shown, there are at least two ways to switch the manual shift mode of the motorcycle 10 to the automatic shift mode: operating the shift mode switch 1811 on the operating component 18 to switch to the automatic shift mode, and automatically switching to the automatic shift mode when the rain sensor 173 on the motorcycle 10 detects rain. The first way: when the driver is riding the motorcycle 10, he operates the shift mode switch 1811 to issue a shift mode switching instruction, and the shift controller 191 enters the automatic shift mode or the manual shift mode according to the shift mode switching instruction. The second type: when the driver starts the motorcycle 10 or is riding, the rain sensor 173 detects rain, and the driver does not switch the gear shift mode or perform any gear shifting operation, the electronic control unit 192 receives the rain detection signal from the rain sensor 173 and sends a gear shifting mode switching instruction to the gear shift controller 191 to enter the automatic gear shifting mode; when the motorcycle 10 is in the manual gear shifting mode, the rain sensor 173 detects rain but the driver is performing a gear shifting operation, the electronic control unit 192 does not send a control instruction to the gear shift sensor after receiving the signal, and enters the automatic gear shifting mode when the driver operates the gear shifting mode switch 1811 to switch to the automatic gear shifting mode.
[0035] The present application provides a control method for a motorcycle 10 , which can control the motorcycle 10 provided in an embodiment of the present application.
