[0024] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical scheme of the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application described and shown in the drawings herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0025] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed present application, but only represents selected embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0026] It should be noted that: similar reference numbers and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings.
[0027] Some embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings. The following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 , the present application embodiment provides a motorcycle 100. In order to clearly illustrate the technical scheme of the present application, the front side, rear side, left side, right side, upper side, lower side as shown in Figure 1 can be understood that the front-rear direction in the present application embodiment refers to the length direction of the motorcycle 100, the left-right direction refers to the width direction of the motorcycle 100, and the up-down direction refers to the height direction of the motorcycle 100.
[0029] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the motorcycle 100 includes a vehicle body 10, a walking assembly 20, a steering lamp assembly 30, a lamp control switch (not marked in the figure) and a steering lamp controller 40. The vehicle body 10 includes a vehicle frame 11 and a vehicle body cover 12, the vehicle frame 11 constitutes the basic frame of the motorcycle 100, and the vehicle body cover 12 at least partially covers the vehicle frame 11, and the vehicle body cover 12 is used to protect various parts and components inside the motorcycle 100. The walking assembly 20 is arranged on the lower side of the vehicle frame 11, and the walking assembly 20 can include front wheels 21 and rear wheels 22, and the walking assembly 20 is used to drive the motorcycle 100 to move, wherein the front wheels 21 and the rear wheels 22 rotate to drive the motorcycle 100 to move.
[0030] The turn light assembly 30 includes a left turn light 33 and a right turn light 34 supported by the frame 11. The left turn light 33 and the right turn light 34 are used to indicate the turning of the motorcycle 100. It is appreciated that the left turn light 33 and the right turn light 34 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the frame 11.
[0031] The light control switch includes a turn switch 31 and a position light switch 32. The turn switch 31 is used to generate a turn signal according to the user operation, and the position light switch 32 is used to generate a position light signal according to the user operation.
[0032] The turn light controller 40 is installed on the frame, and the turn light controller 40 is connected with the turn switch 31, the position light switch 32, the left turn light 33 and the right turn light 34. The turn light controller 40 is used to receive the turn signal and the position light signal, and then can control the turn on and off of the left turn light 33 and the right turn light 34 according to the turn signal and the position light signal.
[0033] When the turn light controller 40 only receives the turn signal, the turn light controller 40 controls the turn on and off of the left turn light 33 and the right turn light 34 according to the turn signal, and the left turn light 33 and the right turn light 34 are used to indicate the turning of the motorcycle 100. When the turn light controller 40 receives the position light signal, the turn light controller 40 controls at least part of the left turn light 33 and the right turn light 34 as a position light according to the position light signal and the turn signal, to indicate the position of the motorcycle 100.
[0034] Specifically, when the turn light controller 40 does not receive the position light signal, the turn light controller 40 controls the left turn light 33 and / or the right turn light 34 to be in a first lighting mode according to the turn signal, to indicate the turning of the motorcycle 100. When the turn light controller 40 receives the position light signal, the turn light controller 40 controls the left turn light 33 and / or the right turn light 34 to be in a second lighting mode according to the turn signal, to indicate the position of the motorcycle 100.
[0035] When the left turn light 33 and / or the right turn light 34 is used to indicate the position of the motorcycle 100, the motorcycle 100 can be used as a pilot car when used as a courtesy car. That is, the user can operate the position light switch 32 to generate a position light signal to the turn light controller 40 when the motorcycle 100 is used as a courtesy car.
[0036] It is appreciated that the first lighting mode and the second lighting mode are different. For example, the first lighting mode is that the corresponding turn light flashes, and the second lighting mode is that the corresponding turn light is always on, or vice versa.
[0037] Taking the first lighting mode as the corresponding turn light flashing and the second lighting mode as the corresponding turn light always on as an example, the turn signal includes a left turn signal and a right turn signal.
[0038] For example, when the turn signal controller 40 does not receive the position light signal and receives the left turn signal, the turn signal controller 40 controls the left turn light 33 to flash and the right turn light 34 to be off. When the turn signal controller 40 does not receive the position light signal and receives the right turn signal, the turn signal controller 40 controls the left turn light 33 to be off and the right turn light 34 to flash. And when the turn signal controller 40 does not receive the position light signal and does not receive the turn signal, the turn signal controller 40 controls the left turn light 33 and the right turn light 34 to be off. Thus, the pedestrians and the drivers of other vehicles can determine whether the motorcycle 100 is turning and the turning direction according to whether the left turn light 33 and the right turn light 34 of the motorcycle 100 flash.
[0039] When the turn signal controller 40 receives the position light signal and does not receive the turn signal, since the left turn light 33 and the right turn light 34 need to be used as the pilot position light, the turn signal controller 40 controls the left turn light 33 and the right turn light 34 to be always on. Since the turn signal controller 40 of other motorcycle 100 controls the left turn light 33 and / or the right turn light 34 to flash according to the turn signal, the other motorcycle 100 can confirm the position of the pilot vehicle according to the always-on left turn light 33 and the right turn light 34. When the turn signal controller 40 receives the position light signal and receives the left turn signal, the turn signal controller 40 controls the left turn light 33 to be off and the right turn light 34 to be always on. When the turn signal controller 40 receives the position light signal and receives the right turn signal, the turn signal controller 40 controls the left turn light 33 to be always on and the right turn light 34 to be off. Thus, the drivers of other motorcycle 100 can determine the position of the pilot vehicle according to whether the left turn light 33 and / or the right turn light 34 of the motorcycle 100 is always on, and determine whether to turn and the turning direction according to whether the turn light of the pilot vehicle is off.
[0040] When the motorcycle 100 is the pilot vehicle, since the turn light of the pilot vehicle needs to be always on, in order to improve the service life of the always-on turn light, the turn signal controller 40 can control the turn light to be always on at a low brightness when receiving the position light signal. And when the motorcycle 100 is not the pilot vehicle, since the turn light only flashes when turning, in order to be able to indicate pedestrians and other vehicles more strongly, the turn signal controller 40 can control the corresponding turn light to flash at a high brightness when receiving the turn signal.
[0041] Of course, in the embodiment of the application, the motorcycle 100 can also include other controllers (not shown in the figure), such as a vehicle control unit (VCU), a body control module (BCM), a motor control unit (MCU), etc.
[0042] In the embodiments of the present application, a position lamp switch 32 is additionally provided, and the turn signal controller 40 controls the turn-on and turn-off of the left turn signal lamp 33 and the right turn signal lamp 34 according to the turn signal and the position lamp signal generated by the user's operation of the turn signal switch 31 and the position lamp switch 32, so that the left turn signal lamp 33 and the right turn signal lamp 34 can not only indicate the turning of the motorcycle 100, but also indicate the position of the motorcycle 100 as position lamps. Thus, the position lamp does not need to be additionally provided, and the position lamp control circuit does not need to be additionally provided, and the size of the turn signal lamp can be reduced. Moreover, the turn-on and turn-off of the left turn signal lamp 33 and the right turn signal lamp 34 are independently controlled by the turn signal controller 40, and the motorcycle 100 does not need to be controlled by the vehicle controller to control the turn-on and turn-off of the left turn signal lamp 33 and the right turn signal lamp 34, and the operation is very simple and convenient. In addition, the independently provided turn signal controller 40 only involves the control related to the display of the turn signal lamp, and the control is very simple and convenient, the internal components are less, the size is smaller, and the cost can be reduced.
[0043] In addition, since the turn signal controller 40 is independently provided, the turn signal controller 40 is independent of the turn signal assembly, and thus the volume of the turn signal assembly does not need to be additionally increased.
[0044] As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 3 In some embodiments, the lamp control switch further includes an alarm switch 35, the alarm switch 35 is connected with the turn signal controller 40, and the alarm switch 35 is used to generate an alarm signal according to the user's operation. The turn signal controller 40 is further used to receive the alarm signal. Thus, the turn signal controller 40 can control the left turn signal lamp 33 and the right turn signal lamp 34 to flash synchronously according to the alarm signal to indicate that the motorcycle 100 is in a dangerous state.
[0045] In this way, the driver can operate the alarm switch 35 when the motorcycle 100 has some failures or travels in bad weather, and then the turn signal controller 40 controls the left turn signal lamp 33 and the right turn signal lamp 34 to flash synchronously according to the alarm signal, so that the pedestrians and the drivers of other vehicles can know that the motorcycle 100 is in a dangerous state and can be avoided. For example, when the motorcycle 100 has a brake failure, travels in a rainstorm, travels in a foggy weather, or the like, the driver can operate the alarm switch 35.
[0046] For example, when the turn signal controller 40 does not receive the position lamp signal, receives the alarm signal, and does not receive the turn signal, the turn signal controller 40 can control the left turn signal lamp 33 and the right turn signal lamp 34 to flash, to indicate that the motorcycle 100 is in a dangerous state.
[0047] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, Figure 1As shown, the left turn signal 33 can include a left front turn signal 331 disposed at the left front side of the frame 11 and a left rear turn signal 332 disposed at the left rear side of the frame 11, and the right turn signal 34 can include a right front turn signal 341 disposed at the right front side of the frame 11 and a right rear turn signal 342 disposed at the right rear side of the frame 11. The left front turn signal 331, the left rear turn signal 332, the right front turn signal 341 and the right rear turn signal 342 are all connected to the turn signal controller 40.
[0048] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 The motorcycle 100 includes a handlebar 50, and the turn signal switch 31, the position light switch 32 and the alarm switch 35 can all be disposed on the handlebar 50 for the convenience of the driver. Of course, the position light switch 32 can also be disposed at other positions of the motorcycle 100, because the position light switch 32 is needed to be operated only when the motorcycle 100 needs to be used as a pilot vehicle, and the position light switch 32 is needed to be operated less frequently.
[0049] As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 The turn signal switch 31 is a toggle switch and is disposed on the handlebar 50, and the turn signal assembly 30 can further include a power supply VCC, the common terminal of the toggle switch is connected to the positive terminal of the power supply VCC, and the other two terminals of the toggle switch are connected to the turn signal controller 40. Specifically, the toggle switch can be internally configured as a single-pole double-throw switch (as shown in Figure 4 Alternatively, the toggle switch can internally be provided with a first switch (not shown in the figure) and a second switch (not shown in the figure), the first terminals of the first switch and the second switch are connected to the common terminal of the toggle switch, the second terminal of the first switch is connected to one port of the turn signal controller 40, and the second terminal of the second switch is connected to another port of the turn signal controller 40.
[0050] The power supply VCC can be connected to the common terminal of the toggle switch via a key switch K of the motorcycle 100, and the key switch K is closed when the user operates the motorcycle 100 to be unlocked. It can be understood that the power supply VCC can be a high-voltage power supply battery of the motorcycle 100 after being subjected to a voltage reduction circuit, or can be a low-voltage power supply battery of the motorcycle 100.
[0051] When the user turns the toggle switch to the left, the first switch is closed, thereby generating a left turn signal to the turn signal controller 40. When the user turns the toggle switch to the right, the second switch is closed, thereby generating a right turn signal to the turn signal controller 40. When the toggle switch is in the middle, the first switch and the second switch are both open, and the toggle switch does not generate a turn signal to the turn signal controller 40, that is, the turn signal controller 40 does not receive the left turn signal and the right turn signal.
[0052] One end of the position lamp switch 32 is connected to the positive or negative of the power supply VCC, and the other end of the position lamp switch 32 is connected to the turn signal controller 40. When the position lamp switch 32 is closed, the port of the turn signal controller 40 connected to the position lamp switch 32 receives a high level signal or a low level signal, i.e. the position lamp switch 32 generates a position lamp signal to the turn signal controller 40. When the position lamp switch 32 is opened, the port of the turn signal controller 40 connected to the position lamp switch 32 does not receive the position lamp signal.
[0053] When the turn signal controller 40 does not receive the position lamp signal and receives a left turn signal, the turn signal controller 40 controls the left front turn lamp 331 and the left rear turn lamp 332 to flash, and the right front turn lamp 341 and the right rear turn lamp 342 to be off, to indicate that the motorcycle 100 turns left.
[0054] When the turn signal controller 40 does not receive the position lamp signal and receives a right turn signal, the turn signal controller 40 controls the left front turn lamp 331 and the left rear turn lamp 332 to be off, and the right front turn lamp 341 and the right rear turn lamp 342 to flash, to indicate that the motorcycle 100 turns right.
[0055] When the turn signal controller 40 does not receive the position lamp signal and receives an alarm signal, the turn signal controller 40 controls the left front turn lamp 331, the left rear turn lamp 332, the right front turn lamp 341 and the right rear turn lamp 342 to flash, to indicate that the motorcycle 100 is in a dangerous state.
[0056] It can be understood that the alarm signal and the turn signal are of a late-triggering priority. For example, when the turn signal controller 40 does not receive the position lamp signal and receives a left turn signal, and then receives an alarm signal, if the time interval between the initial time of receiving the left turn signal and the initial time of receiving the alarm signal is short, the turn signal controller 40 controls the left front turn lamp 331, the left rear turn lamp 332, the right front turn lamp 341 and the right rear turn lamp 342 to flash, to indicate that the motorcycle 100 is in a dangerous state. If the time interval between the initial time of receiving the left turn signal and the initial time of receiving the alarm signal is long, the turn signal controller 40 can first control the left front turn lamp 331 and the left rear turn lamp 332 to flash, and the right front turn lamp 341 and the right rear turn lamp 342 to be off, and then controls the left front turn lamp 331, the left rear turn lamp 332, the right front turn lamp 341 and the right rear turn lamp 342 to flash when the alarm signal is received, to indicate that the motorcycle 100 is in a dangerous state.
[0057] When the turn signal controller 40 receives the position light signal and the left turn signal, the turn signal controller 40 controls the left front turn light 331 to be off, the right front turn light 341 to be on, and controls the left rear turn light 332 to be blinking and the right rear turn light 342 to be off. Thus, the left front turn light 331 serves as the pilot position light of the motorcycle 100, and the left rear turn light 332 indicates that the motorcycle 100 is turning left.
[0058] When the turn signal controller 40 receives the position light signal and the left turn signal, the turn signal controller 40 controls the left front turn light 331 to be off, the right front turn light 341 to be on, and controls the left rear turn light 332 to be blinking and the right rear turn light 342 to be off. Thus, the left front turn light 331 serves as the pilot position light of the motorcycle 100, and the left rear turn light 332 indicates that the motorcycle 100 is turning left.
[0059] When the turn signal controller 40 receives the position light signal and the right turn signal, the turn signal controller 40 controls the left front turn light 331 to be on, the right front turn light to be off, and controls the left rear turn light 332 to be off and the right rear turn light 342 to be blinking. Thus, the right front turn light 341 serves as the pilot position light of the motorcycle 100, and the right rear turn light 342 indicates that the motorcycle 100 is turning right.
[0060] When the turn signal controller 40 receives the position light signal and the right turn signal, the turn signal controller 40 controls the left front turn light 331 to be on, the right front turn light to be off, and controls the left rear turn light 332 to be off and the right rear turn light 342 to be blinking. Thus, the right front turn light 341 serves as the pilot position light of the motorcycle 100, and the right rear turn light 342 indicates that the motorcycle 100 is turning right.
[0061] When the turn signal controller 40 receives the position light signal and the right turn signal, the turn signal controller 40 controls the left front turn light 331 to be on, the right front turn light to be off, and controls the left rear turn light 332 to be off and the right rear turn light 342 to be blinking. Thus, the right front turn light 341 serves as the pilot position light of the motorcycle 100, and the right rear turn light 342 indicates that the motorcycle 100 is turning right.
[0062] It is appreciated that when the turn signal controller 40 receives the position light signal and receives the left turn signal, and then receives the alarm signal, if the time interval between the initial time of receiving the left turn signal and the initial time of receiving the alarm signal is short, the turn signal controller 40 controls the left front turn light 331 and the right front turn light 341 to be off, and controls the left rear turn light 332 and the right rear turn light 342 to flash, to indicate that the motorcycle 100 is in a dangerous state. If the time interval between the initial time of receiving the left turn signal and the initial time of receiving the alarm signal is long, the turn signal controller 40 can first control the left front turn light 331 to be off, the right front turn light 341 to be always on, and control the left rear turn light 332 to flash, the right rear turn light 342 to be off, and then controls the left front turn light 331 and the right front turn light 341 to be off, and controls the left rear turn light 332 and the right rear turn light 342 to flash, to indicate that the motorcycle 100 is in a dangerous state.
[0063] It is appreciated that the left front turn light 331 and the right front turn light 341 can be integrated into a front turn light assembly, and the left rear turn light 332 and the right rear turn light 342 can be integrated into a rear turn light assembly. Since the front turn light assembly can be controlled by the turn signal controller 40 to be a pilot position light when the turn signal controller 40 receives the position light signal generated by the position light switch 32, the control circuit for the position light does not need to be additionally provided in the front turn light assembly, and thus the size of the front turn light assembly will not increase.
[0064] Of course, in some embodiments, the turn signal controller 40 can also control the left rear turn light 332 and the right rear turn light 342 to be the pilot position light of the motorcycle 100 when the turn signal controller 40 receives the position light signal. At this time, the turn signal controller 40 controls the left rear turn light 332 or the right rear turn light 342 to be always on, and controls the left front turn light 331 or the right front turn light 341 to flash when the turn signal controller 40 receives the turn signal and does not receive the alarm signal. When the turn signal controller 40 receives the alarm signal, the turn signal controller 40 controls the left rear turn light 332 and / or the right rear turn light 342 to be off, and controls the left front turn light 331 and the right front turn light 341 to flash. When the turn signal controller 40 does not receive the turn signal and does not receive the alarm signal, the turn signal controller 40 controls the left rear turn light 332 and the right rear turn light 342 to be always on, and controls the left front turn light 331 and the right front turn light 341 to be off.
[0065] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the handlebar 50 of the motorcycle 100 includes a left handlebar and a right handlebar, and the turn signal switch 31 and the alarm switch 35 can be respectively arranged on the left handlebar and the right handlebar, for example, the turn signal switch 31 is arranged on the left handlebar, and the alarm switch 35 is arranged on the right handlebar. Of course, the turn signal switch 31 and the alarm switch 35 can also be arranged on the same handlebar, for example, the left handlebar, or for example, the right handlebar, and the present application does not limit this.
[0066] Of course, the position light switch 32 can also be arranged on the handlebar 50 of the motorcycle 100 for the convenience of the user.
[0067] Since the position light is only needed when the motorcycle 100 is used as a limousine, the position light switch 32 is used less frequently, and therefore the cutout switch can also be arranged at other positions of the motorcycle 100, for example, on the turn signal controller 40, on the lower side of the handlebar 50, etc., as long as the position light switch 32 can be operated.
[0068] It can be understood that, referring to Figure 1 , the motorcycle 100 can also be provided with a display instrument 60, which is mounted on the frame 11 and connected with the turn signal controller 40. The turn signal controller 40 is also used to control the display instrument 60 to display the turning of the motorcycle 100 according to the turning signal.
[0069] Specifically, as Figure 4 shown, the display instrument 60 can be provided with a left turn indicator 61 and a right turn indicator 62, both of which are connected with the turn signal controller 40. When the turn signal controller 40 receives the left turn signal and does not receive the alarm signal, the turn signal controller 40 controls the left turn indicator 61 in the display instrument 60 to flash and the right turn indicator 62 to be off. When the turn signal controller 40 receives the right turn signal and does not receive the alarm signal, the turn signal controller 40 controls the left turn indicator 61 in the display instrument 60 to be off and the right turn indicator 62 to flash. When the turn signal controller 40 receives the alarm signal, the turn signal controller 40 controls both the left turn indicator 61 and the right turn indicator 62 to flash.
[0070] By controlling the flashing and non-flashing of the left turn indicator 61 and the right turn indicator 62 in the display instrument 60 according to the turning signal and the alarm signal through the turn signal controller 40, the motorcycle 100 does not need the vehicle controller to send the CAN signal to the network node, and then the display instrument 60 receives and displays, which can save the cost of the CAN network node.
[0071] It can be understood that the control of the left turn indicator 61 and the right turn indicator 62 by the turning signal and the alarm signal is also triggered in the order of priority, and the specific description is referred to the foregoing description of the left indicator and the right indicator, which will not be described again.
[0072] The display instrument 60 can also be connected with other controllers of the motorcycle 100, so that the display instrument 60 obtains and displays the driving information and state information related to the motorcycle 100 from the other controllers, for example, the display instrument 60 can be used to display the power / oil of the motorcycle 100, the speed, the braking state, etc.
[0073] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the turn signal controller 40 only controls the operation of the lights related to the steering, and the steering of the motorcycle 100 is still controlled by the handlebar 50, the whole vehicle controller and the vehicle body controller.
[0074] Referring to Figure 7 , the turn signal controller 40 includes a control circuit board 41, a housing 42 and a connector 43. The control circuit board 41 is installed in the housing 42, the first end of the connector 43 is plugged into the housing 42 and electrically connected with the control circuit board 41, and the second end of the connector 43 is plugged with a hard wire harness (not shown in the figure). The hard wire harness is connected with the steering switch 31, the position light switch 32, the left turn signal 33 and the right turn signal 34. The steering signal and the position light signal are transmitted to the control circuit board 41 through the hard wire harness, and the control circuit board 41 controls the left turn signal 33 and the right turn signal 34 through the hard wire harness.
[0075] Specifically, the hard wire harness includes a plurality of hard wires (not shown in the figure). The first end of each hard wire is connected with the left front turn signal 331, the left rear turn signal 332, the right front turn signal 341, the right rear turn signal 342, the left turn indicator 61, the right turn indicator 62, the steering switch 31, the position light switch 32 and the alarm switch 35. The second end of each hard wire is connected to the control circuit board 41 through the connector 43, so that the control circuit board 41 can receive the steering signal, the position light signal and the alarm signal, and control the left front turn signal 331, the left rear turn signal 332, the right front turn signal 341, the right rear turn signal 342, the left turn indicator 61 and the right turn indicator 62 to work according to the steering signal, the position light signal and the alarm signal.
[0076] Further, as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the motorcycle 100 further includes a mounting rubber sleeve 70 and a mounting member 80. The mounting rubber sleeve 70 is used to sleeve the housing 42, and the mounting rubber sleeve 70 is arranged on the mounting member 80, and the mounting member 80 is mounted on the frame 11.
[0077] Specifically, one end of the mounting rubber sleeve 70 is provided with an opening 71, so as to sleeve the housing 42 of the turn signal controller 40 into the opening 71 of the mounting rubber sleeve 70, and the opposite two outer sides of the mounting rubber sleeve 70 are provided with clamping openings 72. The mounting member 80 includes a mounting portion 81, a first clamping portion 82 and a second clamping portion 83. The mounting portion 81 is fixedly arranged on the frame 11, and the first clamping portion 82 and the second clamping portion 83 are respectively and perpendicularly connected to the two ends of the mounting portion 81. The first clamping portion 82 and the second clamping portion 83 are respectively clamped to the two clamping openings 72 of the mounting rubber sleeve 70, so as to mount the turn signal controller 40 on the frame 11.
[0078] The mounting member 80 can be a one-piece sheet metal piece.
[0079] In this embodiment, the mounting sleeve 70 and the mounting member 80 are connected through the bayonet and the clamping portion, and the mounting sleeve 70 and the mounting member 80 are detachably arranged. The steering lamp controller 40 can be conveniently mounted on the frame 11, and the steering lamp controller 40 can be conveniently removed for maintenance. Of course, the mounting sleeve 70 and the housing 42 of the steering lamp controller 40 can be detachably arranged or fixedly arranged.
[0080] It can be understood that the mounting member 80 can be arranged at the middle of the frame 11 to mount the steering lamp controller 40 on the middle of the frame 11, so that the distance between the steering lamp controller 40 and the front and rear steering lamps is substantially equal, and the length of the connection wire harness is also substantially equal. Of course, the mounting member 80 can also be arranged at the front side of the frame 11 to mount the steering lamp controller 40 on the front side of the frame 11. In this way, the distance between the steering lamp controller 40 and the front and rear steering lamps is closer, and the connection wire harness between the steering lamp controller 40 and the left and right turn indicator lamps 61 and 62 of the display instrument 60 is shorter. The specific arrangement position of the mounting member 80 is not limited in the embodiment of the application, and can be arranged according to actual needs.
[0081] The specific structure between the mounting sleeve 70 and the mounting member 80 is not limited to the above in the embodiment of the application. For example, the mounting sleeve 70 can also be fixedly connected to the mounting member 80. For another example, the mounting sleeve 70 and the mounting member 80 can also be connected through screwing.
[0082] In the embodiment of the application, the steering lamp controller 40 is arranged to control the steering lamp of the motorcycle 100, so that the steering lamp of the motorcycle 100 can indicate the steering direction and also indicate the position as a pilot position lamp. Since the steering lamp controller 40 generates a pilot lamp signal to the steering lamp controller 40 through the addition of a pilot lamp switch 32 to control the steering lamp of the motorcycle 100 as a pilot position lamp, a control circuit for the pilot position lamp does not need to be additionally arranged, and the steering lamp controller 40 only involves the display control related to the steering lamp, so that the components on the control circuit board 41 are less, and the size of the steering lamp controller 40 and the steering lamp is also smaller. Moreover, the steering lamp controller 40 outputs a signal through a hard wire to make the left and right turn indicator lamps 61 and 62 of the display instrument 60 display the steering direction of the motorcycle 100, and the whole vehicle controller does not need to control the on-off of the left and right turn indicator lamps 61 and 62 of the display instrument 60 through a CAN signal. The control logic of the left and right turn indicator lamps 61 and 62 is simple, and the application cost of the CAN network node in the motorcycle 100 can be saved.
[0083] The motorcycle 100 further comprises a turn light control system (not shown in the figure), which comprises the turn light assembly 30, a lamp control switch (not labeled in the figure) and a turn light controller 40.
[0084] The turn light assembly 30 comprises a left turn light 33 and a right turn light 34 supported by the frame 11 of the motorcycle 100. The left turn light 33 and the right turn light 34 are used to indicate the turning of the motorcycle 100. It can be understood that the left turn light 33 and the right turn light 34 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the frame 11.
[0085] The lamp control switch comprises a turn switch 31 and a position light switch 32. The turn switch 31 is used to generate a turn signal according to the user operation, and the position light switch 32 is used to generate a position light signal according to the user operation.
[0086] The turn light controller 40 is connected to the turn switch 31, the position light switch 32, the left turn light 33 and the right turn light 34. The turn light controller 40 is used to control the left turn light 33 or the right turn light 34 to flash when the turn signal is received. The turn light controller 40 is further used to control the left turn light 33 and the right turn light 34 to be always on to indicate the position of the motorcycle 100 when the position light signal is received.
[0087] The detailed description of the turn light assembly 30, the lamp control switch and the turn light controller 40 in the turn light control system of the embodiments of the present application and the beneficial effects obtained are described above in the motorcycle 100, and will not be described again here.
[0088] The above embodiments are described as the preferred embodiment mode of the present application, and do not limit the scope of the present application. Without departing from the design spirit of the present application, various modifications and improvements of the technical solutions of the present application made by those skilled in the art shall fall within the protection scope determined by the claims of the present application.
