Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional electric motorbikes lack the thrusting acceleration experience compared to fuel-based motorbikes due to their linear power curve, making it difficult for them to compete in terms of riding feel and performance.

Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the electrical motorbike uses a linear power curve for acceleration, then the rider can have precise control of speed, but the riding feeling is too smooth to lack sense of thrusting acceleration

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespeed control precisionVSAvoidlack of thrusting acceleration sensation
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by making the power curve adjustable and adaptive rather than fixed and linear. The control system dynamically modifies the torque output based on riding conditions, throttle position, and rider preferences, transforming the static linear power delivery into a dynamic curve that can simulate fuel-based motorbike characteristics while maintaining electrical motor precision and control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of power delivery characteristics by implementing multiple selectable power curves with different acceleration characteristics. The system allows switching between linear power curves (for precise control) and non-linear power curves (for thrusting acceleration sensation), enabling parameter optimization based on riding needs without sacrificing either precision or excitement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If the electrical motorbike accelerates through a linear power curve, then the control is precise, but it cannot provide thrusting acceleration when the rider needs rapid acceleration

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespeed control precisionVSAvoidrapid acceleration capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The control system dynamically adjusts the power delivery curve based on real-time riding conditions, throttle input rate, and selected acceleration modes. This dynamic adaptation allows the system to maintain precise control during normal operation while delivering rapid thrusting acceleration when needed, resolving the contradiction between precision and rapid acceleration capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements periodic or pulsed torque compensation during acceleration events, particularly when rapid acceleration is detected or selected. This periodic action superimposes additional torque on the base linear power curve, creating thrusting acceleration sensation while maintaining the underlying precise control architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

3Adaptability or versatility

If the electrical motorbike adopts quadratic curve or multiple points trinucleotides (T-N) curve to provide more flexible output, then the output flexibility increases, but the characteristics still cannot compete with the fuel-based motorbike in terms of thrusting acceleration

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoutput flexibilityVSAvoidinsufficient thrusting acceleration
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by pre-calculating and storing multiple power curve profiles including advanced acceleration characteristics. When rapid acceleration is detected or selected, the system switches to pre-configured curves with higher initial torque and more aggressive acceleration profiles, enabling thrusting acceleration comparable to fuel-based motorbikes while maintaining output flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite control strategy that combines multiple power curve types (quadratic, T-N curves, and newly defined acceleration profiles) into a unified adaptive system. This composite approach integrates the flexibility of various curve types with enhanced thrusting acceleration characteristics, achieving both adaptability and competitive acceleration performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

AI summary

A system for compensating acceleration of electrical motorbike (2) includes a throttle unit (21) and an electro-mechanic assembly (23). After the electrical motorbike (2) starts, the throttle unit (21) receives external operation from a rider for generating a series of original throttle signal (31). An acceleration compensating module (24) calculates a throttle variation rate (41) based on the original throttle signal (31) and variation of a throttle operation magnitude, and calculates a throttle compensating value (42) based on the throttle variation rate (41) when the throttle variation rate (41) is larger than or equal to a correction threshold. A throttle compensating module (25) receives and sums the original throttle signal (31) and the throttle compensating value (42) up for generating a new throttle signal (33). A torque controller (26) generates a corresponding torque command based on the new throttle signal (33), and outputs the torque command to the electro-mechanic assembly (23) for operation.
