Initial manual and subsequent automatic stabilization mechanism for two-wheeled vehicles using lateral torque induced by the forward / reverse movement of the engine

Abstract

The invention relates to a stabilization method for a two-wheeled vehicle comprising the steps of: a) manual rotation by a driver of the handlebars of a two-wheeled vehicle to initiate balance; b) measurement of the tilt angle of the two-wheeled vehicle using an accelerometer and / or a gyroscope; c) control of a vehicle motor based on the measured tilt angle to induce forward or backward movement; d) generation of lateral torque through said motor-induced movement to counteract the detected tilt; and e) automatic maintenance of the two-wheeled vehicle's balance without further driver intervention.

Description

Title of the invention: Initial manual and subsequent automatic stabilization mechanism for two-wheeled vehicles using lateral torque induced by the forward / reverse movement of the engine Field of the invention

[0001] The present invention relates to a stabilization mechanism for two-wheeled vehicles, including scooters, motorcycles and electric bicycles, which uses the forward / reverse movement of the motor to achieve balance, thereby eliminating the need for a complex mechanism. Background to the invention

[0002] Traditionally, maintaining balance on a stationary two-wheeled vehicle requires the driver to place at least one foot on the ground or use a complex system of turning the front wheel to stabilize the vehicle or similar stabilizing mechanisms. These methods can be difficult or impractical for drivers, particularly when stopping at traffic lights or intersections. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The proposed invention provides a simple and user-friendly method for maintaining balance on two-wheeled vehicles by using the vehicle's engine to generate lateral torque in response to the detected tilt. The method does not require any complex stabilizing mechanism, and it allows the driver to maintain balance by simply turning the handlebars sideways. Detailed description of the invention

[0004] In the proposed invention, an accelerometer and / or a gyroscope measures the tilt angle of the vehicle. The measured tilt angle is then used to control the motor, which induces a forward or backward movement to generate a lateral torque counteracting the detected tilt. Thus, the driver can maintain balance by manually turning the handlebars to the right or left and maintain it, while the vehicle itself stabilizes automatically thanks to the lateral torque induced by the motor. This mechanism is particularly useful when the vehicle is at a traffic light or an intersection, as it allows the driver to start moving without the need for additional stabilization effort.
