Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of two-wheeled vehicle lamp induction, in particular to a two-wheeled vehicle curve compensation lamp system. Background Art

[0002] More and more people enjoy riding two-wheeled vehicles, especially motorcycle enthusiasts. While enjoying the fun of riding, these people also pursue safety. Motorcycles often have blind spots when riding in extreme or repeated darkness, especially when turning, resulting in poor visibility and posing safety risks.

[0003] Currently, the solution to this situation on the market is to install auxiliary spotlights, which need to be turned on manually. The operation steps are complicated. During driving, the rider is required to perform this turning-on operation, which is difficult and risky.

[0004] Alternatively, a six-axis gyroscope and light sensor integrated into the headlights could be used to determine whether the vehicle is in extreme cornering conditions based on light and vehicle tilt angle, thereby assisting in illuminating the cornering spotlights. This solution is costly and has significant limitations. The spotlights only illuminate when the vehicle is rolling, not when the vehicle is not in an emergency cornering situation, and thus still has certain drawbacks. Utility Model Content

[0005] In response to the shortcomings of the above-mentioned existing production technology, the applicant provides a rationally structured two-wheeled vehicle curve compensation light system, which uses pressure sensors and light sensors to automatically light up the curve compensation lights even when the two-wheeled vehicle is turning normally, thereby solving the safety problem of blind spots in turning.

[0006] The technical solutions adopted in this utility model are as follows:

[0007] A two-wheeled vehicle curve compensation light system includes a compensation light control module installed on the vehicle and a sensing component that inputs signals to the compensation light control module.

[0009] The force sensing assembly includes an elastic member symmetrically mounted on the front of the vehicle. When the reaction force of the elastic member reaches a preset threshold, the compensation light is turned on.

[0010] As a further improvement of the above technical solution:

[0011] The force sensing component alone controls the on / off of the compensation lamp, or the force sensing component is combined with any one of the manual input module and the light sensor to control the on / off of the compensation lamp.

[0012] The input paths of the manual input module include voice input, APP input, and dashboard input.

[0013] The light sensor senses the external brightness, and the brightness sensed by the light sensor is inversely proportional to the lighting brightness provided by the compensation lamp.

[0014] The force sensing assembly includes:

[0015] The limit bracket is installed on the vehicle steering column and handlebar on the same side.

[0016] The elastic part is connected to the two limit brackets on the same side.

[0017] The pressure sensor is installed at the connection point between one of the limit brackets and the elastic member.

[0018] The pressure sensor only detects the extrusion force exerted by the elastic member on the pressure sensor and ignores the tensile force.

[0019] The working modes of the compensation lamp include forced on mode, forced off mode, automatic mode, first gear lighting mode, second gear lighting mode and third gear lighting mode.

[0020] In the forced on mode, forced off mode, first-level lighting mode, second-level lighting mode, and third-level lighting mode, the lighting intensity of the compensation lamp is constant in any mode.

[0033] The specific implementation of the present utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the two-wheeled vehicle curve compensation light system of this embodiment includes a compensation light control module installed on the vehicle, a sensing component that inputs signals to the compensation light control module,

[0035] The sensing components include force sensing components, manual input modules and light sensors. During a lighting control process, at least one set of sensing components inputs signals to the compensation light control module.

[0036] The force sensing assembly includes an elastic member symmetrically mounted on the front of the vehicle. When the reaction force of the elastic member reaches a preset threshold, the compensation light is turned on.

[0037] The force sensing component alone controls the on / off of the compensation lamp, or the force sensing component is combined with any one of the manual input module and the light sensor to control the on / off of the compensation lamp.

[0038] The input paths of the manual input module include voice input, APP input, and dashboard input.

[0039] The light sensor senses the external brightness, and the brightness sensed by the light sensor is inversely proportional to the lighting brightness provided by the compensation lamp.

[0040] The force sensing assembly includes:

[0041] The limiting bracket 3 is installed on the vehicle steering column 1 and handlebar 2 on the same side.

[0042] The elastic member is connected to the two limiting brackets 3 on the same side.

[0043] The pressure sensor is installed at the connection point between one of the limit brackets 3 and the elastic member.

[0044] The pressure sensor only detects the extrusion force exerted by the elastic member on the pressure sensor and ignores the tensile force.

[0045] The working modes of the compensation lamp include forced on mode, forced off mode, automatic mode, first gear lighting mode, second gear lighting mode and third gear lighting mode.

[0046] In the forced on mode, forced off mode, first-level lighting mode, second-level lighting mode, and third-level lighting mode, the lighting intensity of the compensation lamp is constant in any mode.

[0047] In automatic mode, the brightness of the compensation lamp is controlled simultaneously by the force sensing component and the light sensing component.

[0048] Serial communication connection between the compensation light control module and the vehicle module.

[0049] The specific structure and working principle of the utility model are as follows:

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the working principle of the present invention. The compensation light control module of the present invention can receive signals from pressure sensors, light sensors, manual or intelligent inputs, and after judgment, send signals to the curve compensation light to control the lighting status of the curve compensation light.

[0051] Among them, the ways of manual or intelligent input signals include APP input signals, signals obtained from the instrument panel, voice input signals and other signal acquisition ways.

[0052] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a Figure 2 The compensation light control module is installed on the vehicle. The input ports of the compensation light control module include a light sensing signal interface, a left pressure signal interface, a right pressure signal interface, and two serial communication ports.

[0053] The output ports of the compensation light control module include the left compensation light interface and the right compensation light interface. The two serial ports are connected in series with the vehicle communication port to achieve intelligent control.

[0054] The curve compensation light module communicates with the vehicle through the serial port and can receive the curve compensation light working mode set by the vehicle.

[0055] A left pressure sensor 501 is installed on the lower left bracket of the handlebar 2, and the left pressure sensor 501 is connected to the steering column 1 of the vehicle through the left pressure spring 401; a right pressure sensor 502 is installed on the lower right bracket of the handlebar 2, and is connected to the steering column 1 of the vehicle through the right pressure spring 402.

[0056] Taking the vehicle turning left as an example, when the vehicle turns left, the handlebar 2 is turned to the left, the steering column 1 turns left, the left pressure spring 401 is compressed, and a reverse force is fed back; the greater the steering angle, the greater the deformation of the left pressure spring 401, and the greater the reverse force fed back. When the left pressure sensor 501 senses that the reverse force increases to the expected threshold value K, it outputs a valid signal to the outside. After receiving this signal, the compensation light control module determines that the vehicle steering angle is greater than the angle corresponding to the threshold value K, that is, turns on the compensation light for lighting.

[0057] The threshold K is a critical force. For example, if the compensation light is expected to turn on automatically when the turning angle is greater than 15°, the threshold K is set to the magnitude of the reverse force of the spring feedback obtained by compressing the pressure spring when the handlebar 2 is turned to 15°.

[0058] The light sensor is used to detect the light intensity of the current environment in real time and transmit the light value to the compensation light control module. When it is determined to be daytime, there is no need to turn on the light; when it is determined to be night or a dark environment, the light needs to be turned on.

[0059] When setting the cornering compensation light working mode through any of the input methods including APP, instrument panel, and voice input, the specific steps are as follows:

[0060] The working modes of the cornering compensation light include automatic mode, forced on mode, and forced off mode. When the compensation light is on, the brightness level can be adjusted to one, two, or three levels.

[0061] The curve compensation light's operating mode is set to forced-on mode. In this mode, the pressure sensor detects whether the light needs to be turned on. For example, when the vehicle turns left, if the compensation light control module receives a valid signal from the left pressure sensor 501 and the feedback pressure exceeds the threshold, the left compensation light will be turned on at 100% brightness. When the vehicle turns right, if the compensation light control module receives a valid signal from the right pressure sensor 502 and the feedback pressure exceeds the threshold, the right compensation light will be turned on at 100% brightness.

[0062] Set the working mode of the cornering compensation light to forced off mode. In this mode, the compensation light control module always controls the compensation light to be off regardless of whether the vehicle is turning or the steering angle. This mode is suitable for riding in a well-lit and road-conditioning environment.

[0063] Set the working mode of the curve compensation light to gear one. When the vehicle turns left, the compensation light control module receives a valid signal from the left pressure sensor 501, and the feedback pressure is greater than the threshold, then the left compensation light is turned on, and the brightness of the light is 40%; when the vehicle turns right, the compensation light control module receives a valid signal from the right pressure sensor 502, and the feedback pressure is greater than the threshold, then the right compensation light is turned on, and the brightness of the light is 40%.

[0064] Set the working mode of the curve compensation light to the second gear. When the vehicle turns left, the compensation light control module receives a valid signal from the left pressure sensor 501, and the feedback pressure is greater than the threshold, then the left compensation light is turned on, and the brightness of the light is 75%; when the vehicle turns right, the compensation light control module receives a valid signal from the right pressure sensor 502, and the feedback pressure is greater than the threshold, then the right compensation light is turned on, and the brightness of the light is 75%.

[0065] The working mode of the curve compensation light is set to gear three. When the vehicle turns left, the compensation light control module receives a valid signal from the left pressure sensor 501, and the feedback pressure is greater than the threshold, then the left compensation light is turned on, and the brightness of the light is 100%; when the vehicle turns right, the compensation light control module receives a valid signal from the right pressure sensor 502, and the feedback pressure is greater than the threshold, then the right compensation light is turned on, and the brightness of the light is 100%.

[0066] According to actual needs, more gears can be set to adjust the lighting intensity more finely. In this embodiment, from the perspective of practicality and cost, the three-gear lighting mode is preferred.

[0067] When the operating mode of the curve compensation light is set to automatic mode, the pressure sensor detects whether the light needs to be turned on and the lighting intensity of the light. For example, if the compensation light control module receives a valid signal from the left pressure sensor 501 and the feedback pressure is greater than the threshold, it determines that the light needs to be turned on;

[0068] The light sensor senses the brightness of the external environment and determines the required lighting intensity based on a pre-set light intensity range. As an adoptable implementation method, for example, if the light intensity range is 0-2000Lx, then every 20Lx corresponds to 1% of the compensation light brightness. When the perceived external brightness is 0Lx, 100% lighting intensity is provided; when the perceived external brightness is 1000Lx, 50% lighting intensity is provided; when the perceived external brightness is 2000Lx, 0% lighting intensity is provided.

[0069] The steps for identifying turning on the lights for left and right turns are the same.

[0070] The advantage of the present invention is that it has three control modes: pressure sensing, light sensing, and manual input. Any one or more combinations can adjust the lighting intensity of the compensation lamp, which can cover most user needs, significantly improve user experience and riding safety, reduce costs, and has broad application prospects.

[0071] The above description is an explanation of the utility model, not a limitation of the utility model. The scope of the utility model is defined by the claims. Any form of modification can be made within the scope of protection of the utility model.
