The first process is a process of switching between the first state and the second state of the second component unit 64 according to the loaded weight of the human-powered vehicle 10. The second process is a process for changing the security setting of the second configuration unit 64. The first state of the second configuration unit 64 is an operation state of the second configuration unit 64 that does not change the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 according to the detection information of the detection unit 66. The 2nd state of the 2nd composition part 64 is an operation state of the 2nd composition part 64 which performs change of the security setting of the 2nd composition part 64 according to the detection information of detection part 66.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a processing procedure of the first process. The first process is repeatedly executed every predetermined time.
As shown in FIG. 5, the control unit 68 acquires the loaded weight in step S <b> 11. In one example, the control unit 68 is input with information regarding the loaded weight detected by the load sensor 70. The control unit 68 calculates the loaded weight from the information regarding the loaded weight detected by the load sensor 70.

  In step S12, the control unit 68 determines whether the loaded weight is equal to or less than a predetermined value. Here, the predetermined value is a determination value as to whether the second configuration unit 64 is set to the first state or the second state, and is set in advance by a test, arbitrary input, or the like. In one example, the predetermined value is a loading weight of the human-powered vehicle 10 when the passenger gets on the human-powered vehicle 10. An example of the predetermined value is 30 kg.

  If the control unit 68 makes an affirmative determination in step S12, that is, if it is determined that the passenger is not on the human-powered vehicle 10, the control unit 68 changes the second configuration unit 64 to the second state in step S13 and ends the process. To do. That is, the control unit 68 changes the state of the second component unit 64 when the loading weight of the human-powered vehicle 10 is equal to or less than a predetermined value. On the other hand, when a negative determination is made in step S12, the control unit 68 determines whether or not the second configuration unit 64 is in the second state in step S14.

  When an affirmative determination is made in step S14, the control unit 68 changes the second configuration unit 64 to the first state in step S15, and ends the process. If the negative determination is made in step S14, the control unit 68 ends the process because the second configuration unit 64 is in the first state.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating the processing procedure of the first example of the second processing. The second process is repeatedly executed every predetermined time.
In step S21, the control unit 68 determines whether or not the second configuration unit 64 is in the second state. The control unit 68 can determine whether or not the second configuration unit 64 is in the second state based on the processing result of the first processing.

  If the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S21, the process is temporarily ended. When an affirmative determination is made in step S21, the control unit 68 determines whether or not the operation unit 54 has been operated in step S22. When the operation unit 54 is operated while the second configuration unit 64 is in the second state, the operation unit 54 does not operate the electric assist drive unit 44, but generates a signal for changing the security setting of the second configuration unit 64. Output to the control unit 68.

  If the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S22, it acquires detection information in step S23. In this case, the user rotates the crank 12 counterclockwise. The detection unit 66 detects the rotation phase position, the rotation amount, and the rotation angle of the crank 12 rotated by the user, and outputs it to the control unit 68.

  After acquiring the detection information, the control unit 68 determines the detection information by the following method. That is, when the detection unit 66 does not detect a change in the rotational phase position of the first component unit 62 for a predetermined time, the control unit 68 performs the stop determination of the first component unit 62, and the detection information input immediately before the stop determination. To confirm.

  Specifically, the control unit 68 determines whether or not the detection unit 66 has not detected a change in the rotational phase position of the first component unit 62 for a predetermined time in step S24. The predetermined time is, for example, a time for determining that the rotation of the first component 62 has stopped, and is set in advance. In one example, the predetermined time is 2 seconds.

  If the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S24, that is, if the first configuration unit 62 is not determined to be stopped, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S23. That is, since the user has not stopped the rotation operation of the crank 12, the rotation phase position of the crank 12 is not fixed. For this reason, the control unit 68 continues to acquire the rotational phase position of the crank 12.

  When an affirmative determination is made in step S24, that is, when the first component 62 is determined to stop, the control unit 68 determines the detection information acquired in step S25, and proceeds to step S26. The determined detection information is detection information including the rotation phase position, the rotation amount, and the rotation direction of the crank 12 detected by the detection unit 66 when the rotation operation of the crank 12 is stopped. The control unit 68 calculates a numerical value by conversion processing based on the determined detection information.

  The control unit 68 determines whether or not the security setting can be changed in step S26. Specifically, the control unit 68 determines whether or not the numerical value calculated by the conversion process matches a predetermined numerical value for permitting the change of the security setting. If the numerical value calculated by the conversion process matches a numerical value determined in advance to permit the change of the security setting, the security setting can be changed. If the numerical value calculated by the conversion process does not match the numerical value determined in advance to allow the security setting to be changed, the security setting cannot be changed. Note that the numerical value determined in advance for permitting the change of the security setting can be arbitrarily changed by the user.

If the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S26, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S21. That is, the operation for changing the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 is performed again.
If the determination in step S26 is affirmative, the control unit 68 changes the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 in step S27 and ends the process once.

An example of changing the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 will be described below.
When the second configuration unit 64 is the lock device 32, the control unit 68 switches the lock state of the lock device 32 according to the detection information. Specifically, when the lock device 32 is in the locked state, the control unit 68 switches the lock device 32 to the unlocked state in step S27. When the lock device 32 is in the unlocked state, the control unit 68 switches the lock device 32 to the locked state in step S27.

  When the second configuration unit 64 is the cycle computer 34, the control unit 68 switches the power source of the cycle computer 34 to an on or off state according to the detection information. Specifically, when the power source of the cycle computer 34 is in an off state, the control unit 68 switches the power source of the cycle computer 34 to an on state in step S27. When the power source of the cycle computer 34 is on, the control unit 68 switches the power source of the cycle computer 34 to an off state in step S27.

  When the second configuration unit 64 is the battery 42A, the control unit 68 switches the power output from the battery 42A to the ON mode or the OFF mode according to the detection information. Specifically, when the power output from battery 42A is in the ON mode, control unit 68 switches the power output from battery 42A to the OFF mode in step S27. When the power output from battery 42A is in the OFF mode, control unit 68 switches the power output from battery 42A to the ON mode in step S27. When the power from the battery 42 </ b> A is in the ON mode, power is supplied from the battery 42 </ b> A to the second configuration unit 64. When the power from the battery 42A is in the OFF mode, power is not supplied from the battery 42A to the second component unit 64.

  When the second component unit 64 is the display unit 42C provided in the battery 42A or the battery holder 42B, the control unit 68 changes the display state of the display unit 42C provided in the battery 42A or the battery holder 42B according to the detection information. Switch. In one example, when the display state of the display unit 42C is a lighting state, the control unit 68 switches the display state of the display unit 42C to a light-off state in step S27. When the display state of the display unit 42C is the off state, the control unit 68 switches the display state of the display unit 42C to the on state in step S27.

  When the second component unit 64 is the electric transmission 36, the control unit 68 switches to a state where the electric transmission operates or does not operate according to the detection information. In one example, when the electric transmission is in the operating state, the control unit 68 switches to a state in which the electric transmission is not operated in step S27. In a state where the electric transmission is not operated, the control unit 68 switches to a state where the electric transmission is operated in step S27.

  When the second component 64 is any one of the electric suspension 38, the electric seat post 40, and the electric assist drive unit 44, the control unit 68 permits the setting change of the second component 64 according to the detection information. The mode is switched to the first mode or the second mode in which the setting change of the second configuration unit 64 is not permitted. Specifically, when the second configuration unit 64 is in the first mode, the control unit 68 switches to the second mode in step S27. When the second configuration unit 64 is in the second mode, the control unit 68 switches to the first mode in step S27.

  When an affirmative determination is made in step S22, that is, when the operation unit 54 is operated, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S27. That is, the human-powered vehicle 10 further includes an operation unit 54 different from the first configuration unit 62, and the control unit 68 responds to an operation of the operation unit 54 regardless of a change in the rotational phase position of the first configuration unit 62. The security setting of the second configuration unit 64 is controlled.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the second example of the second process. The second process of FIG. 7 differs from the second process of FIG. 6 in the detection information determination method. In the following, portions different from the second processing in FIG. 6 will be described in detail.

  In the second process of FIG. 7, the control unit 68 causes the switch unit 52 to determine the detection information according to the operation. That is, in the second process of FIG. 7, step S24 of the second process of FIG. 6 is replaced with step S28 that is a determination as to whether or not the switch unit 52 has been operated. When determining that the switch unit 52 has been operated in step S28, the control unit 68 determines the detection information acquired in step S25. If the control unit 68 determines in step S28 that the switch unit 52 has not been operated, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S23, and subsequently acquires the rotational phase position of the crank 12.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the security setting of the second component 64 is changed based on the rotation operation of the crank 12 that is the first component 62. Thereby, the security setting of the 2nd structure part 64 can be changed, without a user touching the handlebar 10H. In addition, when the user operates the crank 12 with his / her foot, the security setting of the second component unit 64 can be changed without using the user's hand.

  In addition, since the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 can be changed by a method other than the dedicated operation unit or the dedicated operation switch for changing the security setting of the second configuration unit 64, the second configuration unit 64 is operated. The configuration of the operation unit can be simplified or the operation unit can be omitted. Therefore, the configuration of the operation unit of the human-powered vehicle 10 can be simplified or the operation unit can be omitted, and the human-powered vehicle 10 can be reduced in weight.

  In addition, when the human-powered vehicle 10 includes a plurality of second configuration units 64, the security settings of the plurality of second configuration units 64 may be changed. Based on the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the security settings of the plurality of second configuration units 64 may be individually changed, or the security settings of the plurality of second configuration units 64 may be collectively changed. Good.

  When individually changing the security settings of the plurality of second configuration units 64, the order of changing the security settings of the plurality of second configuration units 64 may be determined in advance, or may be arbitrarily changed by the user. You may set the 2nd structure part 64 in which a user can change a security setting.

(Second Embodiment)
With reference to FIG. 8, the control apparatus 60 of 2nd Embodiment is demonstrated. The control device 60 of the present embodiment is different from the control device 60 of the first embodiment in that the security setting is changed based on a plurality of detection information. In the following description, the same reference numerals are given to components common to the human-powered vehicle 10 of the first embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted.

  The control unit 68 acquires first detection information and second detection information. The first detection information is detection information of the crank 12 detected by the detection unit 66 when the crank 12 is rotated and stopped. The second detection information is detection information of the crank 12 detected by the detection unit 66 when the crank 12 is rotated again and stopped after the first detection information is acquired.

  When the detection unit 66 newly detects and confirms the second detection information after the first detection information is confirmed, the control unit 68 responds to a plurality of detection information including at least the first detection information and the second detection information. The security setting of the second configuration unit 64 is changed.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure of an example of the second process in the change process. In the second process of FIG. 8, steps S31 to S35 are the same as steps S21 to S25 of the second process of FIG. In step S33, the detection information in step S23 in FIG. 6 is replaced with the first detection information. In step S35, the detection information in step S25 in FIG. 6 is replaced with the first detection information.

  When the first detection information acquired in step S35 is determined, the control unit 68 converts the first detection information determined by the conversion process into one of numerical values “0” to “9”. The numerical value converted from the first detection information is stored in the storage unit of the control unit 68.

  The control unit 68 acquires the second detection information in step S36. That is, after step S35, the control unit 68 acquires, as second detection information, detection information detected by the detection unit 66 in response to the user rotating the crank 12 again.

  In step S37, the control unit 68 determines whether or not the detection unit 66 does not detect a change in the rotational phase position of the first configuration unit 62 for a predetermined time. The determination in step S37 is the same as the determination in step S24 of the second process in FIG.

  When a negative determination is made in step S37, the control unit 68 determines that the user has not stopped the rotation operation of the crank 12, moves to step S36, and continuously acquires the second detection information. When an affirmative determination is made in step S37, the control unit 68 determines the second detection information acquired in step S38. The confirmed second detection information is second detection information including the rotation phase position, the rotation amount, and the rotation direction of the crank 12 detected by the detection unit 66 when the rotation operation of the crank 12 is stopped. Similarly to step S35, the control unit 68 calculates a numerical value by conversion processing based on the confirmed second detection information.

  After acquiring the numerical values converted from the first detection information and the second detection information, the control unit 68 can change the security setting according to a plurality of pieces of information including the first detection information and the second detection information in step S39. It is determined whether or not. Numerical values converted from the first detection information and the second detection information correspond to a plurality of pieces of information including the first detection information and the second detection information. In one example, the control unit 68 uses, as a plurality of pieces of information including the first detection information and the second detection information, a numerical value converted from the first detection information as a ten-digit numerical value, and a numerical value converted from the second detection information as one digit. As a numerical value. The control unit 68 compares the two-digit numerical value set in advance with the two-digit numerical value converted from the first detection information and the second detection information in order to permit the change of the security setting. When the control unit 68 permits the change of the security setting, the two-digit numerical value set in advance matches the two-digit numerical value as the numerical value respectively converted from the first detection information and the second detection information. It is determined that the security setting can be changed. When the two-digit numerical value set in advance for permitting the change of the security setting does not match the two-digit numerical value converted from the first detection information and the second detection information, the control unit 68 It is determined that the security setting cannot be changed. The two-digit numerical value set in advance for permitting the change of the security setting can be arbitrarily set by the user. For example, when the user operates the cycle computer 34, it is possible to set a two-digit numerical value set in advance in order to permit the change of the security setting. The two-digit numerical value set in advance is stored in the storage unit of the control unit 68, for example.

  If the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S39, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S31. In this case, the control unit 68 deletes the numerical values respectively converted from the first detection information and the second detection information from the storage unit. When the control unit 68 makes a positive determination in step S39, the control unit 68 changes the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 in step S40. Step S40 is the same as step S27 of the second process in FIG.

(Third embodiment)
A control device 60 according to the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 9, and 10. The control device 60 of the present embodiment is different from the control device 60 of the first embodiment in that the position setting of the second configuration unit 64 is changed instead of changing the security setting of the second configuration unit 64. In the following description, the same reference numerals are given to components common to the human-powered vehicle 10 of the first embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 9, the control device 60 includes a first component 62 that can rotate at a rotation angle of 90 degrees or more, and a second component 64 that is different from the first component 62. Used for driving vehicle 10. The control unit 68 is configured to detect at least one of the rotational phase position, the rotation amount, and the rotation direction of the first configuration unit 62, and the position of the second configuration unit 64 according to the detection information of the detection unit 66. And a control unit 68 that changes the setting. In one example, as illustrated in FIG. 9, the control device 60 of the present embodiment does not include the switch unit 52 and the operation unit 54.

In the present embodiment, the second component portion 64 includes at least one of an electric seat post 40, an electric suspension 38, and an electric transmission 36 that are provided in the human-powered vehicle 10.
In the present embodiment, the first component 62 includes at least one of the crank 12, the pedal 18 provided on the crank 12, the wheel 14H, the sprocket 22A, the handle bar 10H, the front fork 16A, and the stem 16B.

  In the present embodiment, the first component 62 includes a rotatable first component. The detection unit 66 detects at least one of the rotation phase position, the rotation amount, and the rotation direction of the first component. The control unit 68 changes the position setting of the second component unit 64 according to the detection information of the first part detected by the detection unit 66. The first part of the present embodiment is a crank 12.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a processing procedure of change processing according to the present embodiment. In the flowchart of FIG. 10, step S51 and step S52 are the same as step S21 and step S22 of the second process of FIG.

  The control unit 68 changes the position setting of the second configuration unit 64 according to the detection information in step S53. In the present embodiment, the process of determining the acquired detection information as in the first and second embodiments is not performed. In the present embodiment, for example, the position of the second component 64 changes in conjunction with the user rotating the crank 12.

  When the second component 64 is the electric seat post 40, the control unit 68 changes the position setting of the seat post 58 with respect to the seat tube 16D by the electric seat post 40 according to the acquired detection information. In one example, when the crank 12 is rotated counterclockwise, the control unit 68 controls the electric seat post 40 so that the seat post 58 moves with respect to the seat tube 16D so that the saddle 56 is raised. When rotating the crank 12 clockwise, the control unit 68 controls the electric seat post 40 so that the seat post 58 moves relative to the seat tube 16D so that the saddle 56 is lowered. The amount of movement of the seat post 58 relative to the seat tube 16D is proportional to the amount of rotation of the crank 12.

  When the second component unit 64 is the electric suspension 38, the control unit 68 changes the position setting of the electric suspension 38 according to the acquired detection information. An example of the position setting of the electric suspension 38 is the stroke amount of the suspension. In one example, when the crank 12 is rotated counterclockwise, the control unit 68 controls the electric suspension 38 so that the stroke amount is increased. When the crank 12 is rotated clockwise, the control unit 68 controls the electric suspension 38 so that the stroke amount becomes small. The change amount of the stroke amount is proportional to the rotation amount of the crank 12.

  When the second component unit 64 is the electric transmission 36, the control unit 68 changes the position setting of the transmission mechanism in the vehicle width direction according to the acquired detection information. For example, when the crank 12 is rotated counterclockwise, the control unit 68 controls the electric transmission 36 so that the transmission mechanism moves in one direction in the vehicle width direction. When the crank 12 is rotated clockwise, the control unit 68 controls the electric transmission 36 so that the transmission mechanism moves to the other side in the vehicle width direction. The amount of movement of the speed change mechanism in the vehicle width direction is proportional to the amount of rotation of the crank 12.

  When the electric transmission 36 is an internal transmission, the control unit 68 changes the gear ratio according to the acquired detection information. For example, when the crank 12 is rotated counterclockwise, the control unit 68 controls the electric transmission 36 so that the gear ratio is increased. When the crank 12 is rotated clockwise, the control unit 68 controls the electric transmission 36 so that the gear ratio becomes small. The amount of change in the gear ratio is proportional to the amount of rotation of the crank 12.

(Fourth embodiment)
With reference to FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, the control apparatus 60 of 4th Embodiment is demonstrated. The control device 60 of the present embodiment is mainly different from the control device 60 of the third embodiment in that the first component 62 is the shifter 46 and the second component 64 is the electric suspension 38. In the following description, the same reference numerals are given to components common to the human-powered vehicle 10 of the third embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted.

  The control device 60 is used in a human-powered vehicle 10 including a first component 62 and a second component 64 that is different from the first component 62. The control device 60 includes a detection unit 66 that detects at least one of the rotation phase position, the rotation amount, and the rotation direction of the first configuration unit 62, and the position of the second configuration unit 64 according to the detection information of the detection unit 66. And a control unit 68 that changes the setting. The first component 62 is an electrically connected shifter 46, and the second component 64 is an electric suspension 38.

  The detection unit 66 outputs a signal according to the operation amount of the shifter 46 instead of the crank sensor. When the operation amount of the shifter 46 is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, the detection unit 66 is set to ON and outputs an ON signal to the control unit 68. An example of the detection unit 66 includes a first switch provided on one side of the operation direction of the shifter 46 and a second switch provided on the other side of the operation direction. When the operation amount of the shifter 46 reaches a predetermined value, the first switch or the second switch is turned on, and the on signal is output to the control unit 68 by turning on the first switch or the second switch. In one example, the first switch outputs an ON signal that increases the gear ratio to the control unit 68. The second switch outputs an ON signal for reducing the gear ratio to the control unit 68.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the control unit 68 is electrically connected to the electric suspension 38 and the electric transmission 36. The control unit 68 executes a changing process for setting an object to be controlled by operating the shifter 46 of the electric suspension 38 and the electric transmission 36 according to the state of the electric suspension 38. Specifically, when the electric suspension 38 is in the first state, the control unit 68 changes the gear ratio of the electric transmission 36 according to the operation of the shifter 46. When the electric suspension 38 is in the second state, the control unit 68 changes the setting of the electric suspension 38 according to the operation of the shifter 46.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a processing procedure of change processing. The change process is executed every time the shifter 46 is operated.
The control unit 68 acquires the detection information of the detection unit 66 in step S61. When the control unit 68 receives an ON signal output by the user operating the shifter 46, the control unit 68 acquires a predetermined amount of operation of the shifter 46 as detection information.

  In step S62, the control unit 68 determines whether or not the electric suspension 38 is in the second state. The determination in step S62 is performed based on the first process, similarly to the determination in step S21 of FIG.

  If the determination is affirmative in step S62, the control unit 68 changes the setting of the electric suspension 38 in step S63. In one example, the control unit 68 changes the operation parameter of the electric suspension 38 according to the detection information. The operating parameters include a damping rate, a stroke amount, and a lockout state.

  In the first example, the control unit 68 changes the stroke amount of the electric suspension 38 according to the detection information. Specifically, the control unit 68 increases the stroke amount of the electric suspension 38 by a predetermined amount when acquiring the ON signal of the first switch of the shifter 46. The control unit 68 decreases the stroke amount of the electric suspension 38 by a predetermined amount when acquiring the ON signal of the second switch of the shifter 46.

  In the second example, the control unit 68 changes the attenuation rate of the electric suspension 38 according to the detection information. Specifically, the control unit 68 increases the attenuation rate of the electric suspension 38 by a predetermined value when acquiring the ON signal of the first switch of the shifter 46. When the control unit 68 obtains the ON signal of the second switch of the shifter 46, the control unit 68 decreases the damping rate of the electric suspension 38 by a predetermined value.

  In the third example, the control unit 68 changes the electric suspension 38 to either the lockout state or the lockout release state according to the detection information. Specifically, when the electric suspension 38 is in the lockout state, the control unit 68 locks out the electric suspension 38 when either the first switch ON signal or the second switch ON signal of the shifter 46 is acquired. Change to the released state. When the electric suspension 38 is in the lockout release state, the control unit 68 changes the electric suspension 38 to the lockout state when either the first switch ON signal or the second switch ON signal of the shifter 46 is acquired. .

  If the determination is negative in step S62, the control unit 68 changes the gear ratio of the electric transmission 36 in accordance with the detection information in step S64. When the control unit 68 acquires the ON signal of the first switch as the detection information, the control unit 68 increases the gear ratio of the electric transmission 36. When the control unit 68 acquires the ON signal of the second switch as the detection information, the control unit 68 decreases the gear ratio of the electric transmission 36.

(Fifth embodiment)
With reference to FIG. 13, the control apparatus 60 of 5th Embodiment is demonstrated. The control device 60 of the present embodiment is mainly different from the second embodiment in the detection information acquisition method of the detection unit 66. In the following description, the same reference numerals are given to components common to the human-powered vehicle 10 of the second embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted.

  The control device 60 is used in a human-powered vehicle 10 including a rotatable first component 62 and a second component 64 that is different from the first component 62. The control device 60 combines a detection unit 66 that detects at least one of the rotational phase position, the rotation amount, and the rotation direction of the first component unit 62 a plurality of times and a combination of a plurality of detection information detected a plurality of times. And a control unit 68 that changes the setting of the second configuration unit 64 according to the information.

FIG. 13 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the second process. In the flowchart of FIG. 13, the detection unit 66 detects the first detection information and the second detection information twice.
Steps S71 to S77 in the flowchart in FIG. 13 are the same as steps S31 and S33 to S38 in the flowchart in FIG.

  After acquiring the first detection information and the second detection information determined in steps S72 to S77, the control unit 68 calculates composite information in step S78. An example of the combined information is information obtained by adding the first detection information and the second detection information. More specifically, the numerical value converted from the first detection information by the conversion process and the numerical value converted from the second detection information are added together.

In step S79, the control unit 68 changes the setting of the second configuration unit 64 according to the synthesis information.
In the first example, when the setting of the second configuration unit 64 is the position setting of the second configuration unit 64, the control unit 68 stores in advance the relationship between the combination information and the position setting of the second configuration unit 64. . The control unit 68 changes the position setting of the second component unit 64 from the combination information using the relationship between the combination information and the position setting of the second component unit 64. For example, when the second component 64 is the electric seat post 40, the control unit 68 stores in advance the relationship between the composite information and the position of the seat post 58 with respect to the frame 16. The control unit sets the position of the seat post 58 relative to the frame 16 from the composite information using the relationship between the composite information and the position of the seat post 58 relative to the frame 16, and the position where the seat post 58 is set by the electric seat post 40. The electric seat post 40 is controlled so that

  In the second example, when the setting of the second configuration unit 64 is the security setting of the second configuration unit 64, the control unit 68 includes the combination information and a numerical value determined in advance to permit the change of the security setting. It is determined whether or not they match. The control unit 68 changes the security setting when the composite information matches a predetermined numerical value.

(Sixth embodiment)
A control device 60 according to the sixth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 14 to 17. The control device 60 of the present embodiment is mainly different from the control device 60 of the first embodiment in the configuration of the first configuration unit 62 and the security setting change method of the second configuration unit 64. In the following description, the same reference numerals are given to components common to the human-powered vehicle 10 of the first embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 14, the first component 62 includes a rotatable first component 62A and a second component 62B that is different from the first component 62A and is rotatable. The control unit 68 changes the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 according to the detection information of the first component 62A detected by the detection unit 66 and the detection information of the second component 62B detected by the detection unit 66. .

  The first part 62A includes the crank 12 shown in FIG. 1, the pedal 18 provided on the crank 12, the wheel 14H, the sprocket 22A, the handlebar 10H, the front fork 16A, the stem 16B, the shifter 46, the brake lever 48, and the rim brake. Includes one of 50. The second part 62B is one of the crank 12, the pedal 18, the wheel 14H, the sprocket 22A, the handlebar 10H, the front fork 16A, the stem 16B, the shifter 46, the brake lever 48, and the rim brake 50, A part different from the first part 62A is included. In one example, the first part 62A includes the crank 12 and the second part 62B includes the handle bar 10H.

  The detection unit 66 includes a first detection unit 67A that detects the rotation state of the first component 62A, and a second detection unit 67B that detects the rotation state of the second component 62B. The first detection unit 67A and the second detection unit 67B are communicably connected to the control unit 68 by wired or wireless. The first detection unit 67A outputs detection information of the first component 62A to the control unit 68. The second detection unit 67B outputs detection information of the second component 62B to the control unit 68. When the first component 62A includes the crank 12, the first detection unit 67A may include the first element 66A and the second element 66B in the same manner as the detection unit 66 of the first embodiment shown in FIG. In this case, the detection information of the first detection unit 67A includes information on the rotation phase position, the rotation amount, and the rotation direction of the crank arm 12B. When the second component 62B includes the handle bar 10H, the second detection unit 67B includes a steering angle sensor that outputs information related to the steering angle of the handle bar 10H as detection information. The detection information of the second detection unit 67B includes information regarding the rotation phase position, the rotation amount, and the rotation direction of the handlebar 10H.

  Examples of the method for changing the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 by the control unit 68 include the following first to third examples. In one example, when the second configuration unit 64 is in the second state and the operation unit 54 is not operated, the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 of the first to third examples is changed. The

  In the first example, when the rotation operation of the second component 62B is executed after the rotation operation of the first component 62A, the control unit 68 changes the security setting of the second component unit 64. In the second example, when the rotation operation of the first component 62A is executed after the rotation operation of the second component 62B, the control unit 68 changes the security setting of the second component unit 64. In the third example, when the rotation operation of the first component 62A and the rotation operation of the second component 62B are executed so as to at least partially overlap, the security setting of the second component unit 64 is changed.

  With reference to FIG. 15, the procedure of the 1st example of the change method of the security setting of the 2nd structure part 64 is demonstrated. In the first example, in order to change the security setting of the second component unit 64, the user rotates the first component 62A to stop the rotation of the first component 62A, and then rotates the second component 62B.

  The control unit 68 determines whether or not the first component 62A is rotated in step S81. The control unit 68 performs the determination in step S81 based on whether or not the rotational phase position of the first component 62A detected by the first detection unit 67A has changed. The control unit 68 determines that the first component 62A is being rotated when the rotational phase position of the first component 62A changes.

  If the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S81, the control unit 68 ends the process. If the determination in step S81 is affirmative, the control unit 68 determines in step S82 whether or not the rotation operation of the first component 62A has been completed. The control unit 68 performs the determination in step S82 based on whether or not the rotational phase position of the first component 62A detected by the first detection unit 67A has changed. If the rotational phase position of the first component 62A does not change in step S82, the control unit 68 determines that the rotation operation of the first component 62A has been completed.

  In the present embodiment, the first component 62A is operated once, but the user may operate the first component 62A a plurality of times. In this case, after rotating the first component 62A, the user rotates the first component 62A again. The controller 68 determines that the rotation operation of the first component 62A has stopped in response to the rotation phase position of the first component 62A not changing. The amount of rotation of the first component 62A in the first operation and the amount of rotation of the first component 62A in the second operation may be different or the same. The control unit 68 may control the second component unit 64 based on a value obtained by calculating the rotation amount of the first component 62A in the first operation and the rotation amount of the first component 62A in the second operation. .

  The control unit 68 performs the process of step S82 based on whether or not the rotational phase position of the first part 62A detected by the first detection unit 67A has changed over the first predetermined time TX1. When the rotational phase position of the first component 62A detected by the first detection unit 67A has not changed over the first predetermined time TX1 or more, the control unit 68 determines that the rotation operation of the first component 62A has been completed. . The first predetermined time TX1 is a desirable time as a time for completing the rotation operation of the first component 62A, and is set in advance. The first predetermined time TX1 can be arbitrarily changed by the user. An example of the first predetermined time TX1 is 2 seconds.

  When a negative determination is made in step S82, the control unit 68 executes the determination in step S82 again. When an affirmative determination is made in step S82, the control unit 68 determines the first detection information detected by the first detection unit 67A in step S83, and proceeds to step S84. In one example, the first detection information includes the amount of rotation of the first component 62A. When the first component 62A is operated a plurality of times, the control unit 68 determines the first detection information when the rotational phase position of the first component 62A does not change after the first component 62A is operated. . That is, the first detection information includes the rotation amount of the first component 62A for each operation. When the first component 62A is operated a plurality of times, the control unit 68 stores the rotation amount of the first component 62A every time the first component 62A is operated, and the first detection is made when an affirmative determination is made in step S82. Confirm the information. In other words, the first detection information includes the total amount of rotation of the first component 62A due to a plurality of operations. When the first component 62A is operated a plurality of times, the first detection information may be the number of operations of the first component 62A. The first detection information may be a numerical value obtained by converting the detection information by the first detection unit 67A by a conversion process.

  The control unit 68 determines whether or not the second component 62B is rotated in step S84. The control unit 68 performs the determination in step S84 based on whether or not the rotational phase position of the second component 62B detected by the second detection unit 67B has changed. When the rotational phase position of the second component 62B changes, the control unit 68 determines that the second component 62B is being rotated.

  When an affirmative determination is made in step S84, the control unit 68 determines whether or not the rotation operation of the second component 62B is completed in step S85. The control unit 68 performs the determination in step S85 based on whether or not the rotational phase position of the second component 62B detected by the second detection unit 67B has changed. When the rotational phase position of the second component 62B does not change in step S85, the control unit 68 determines that the rotation operation of the second component 62B has been completed.

  In the present embodiment, the number of operations of the second component 62B is one, but the user may operate the second component 62B a plurality of times. In this case, the user rotates the second component 62B again after rotating the second component 62B. The control unit 68 determines that the rotation operation of the second component 62B has stopped in response to the fact that the rotational phase position of the second component 62B has not changed. The amount of rotation of the second component 62B in the first operation may be different from or the same as the amount of rotation of the second component 62B in the second operation. The control unit 68 may control the second component unit 64 based on a value obtained by calculating the rotation amount of the second component 62B in the first operation and the rotation amount of the second component 62B in the second operation. .

  The control unit 68 performs the process of step S85 based on whether or not the rotational phase position of the second component 62B detected by the second detection unit 67B has changed over a second predetermined time TX2. The second predetermined time TX2 is a desirable time as a time during which the rotation operation of the second component 62B is not performed, and is set in advance. The second predetermined time TX2 can be arbitrarily changed by the user. When the rotation phase position of the second component 62B detected by the second detection unit 67B has not changed for the second predetermined time TX2 or more, the control unit 68 determines that the rotation operation of the second component 62B has ended. . The second predetermined time TX2 may be equal to the first predetermined time TX1. An example of the second predetermined time TX2 is 2 seconds.

  When a negative determination is made in step S85, the control unit 68 executes the determination in step S85 again. When an affirmative determination is made in step S85, the control unit 68 determines the second detection information detected by the second detection unit 67B in step S86, and proceeds to step S87. In one example, the second detection information includes the amount of rotation of the second component 62B. When the second component 62B is operated a plurality of times, the control unit 68 determines the second detection information when the second component 62B is operated and the rotational phase position of the second component 62B does not change. That is, the second detection information includes the rotation amount of the second component 62B for each operation. When the second component 62B is operated a plurality of times, the control unit 68 stores the rotation amount of the second component 62B each time the second component 62B is operated, and performs the second detection when an affirmative determination is made in step S85. Confirm the information. That is, the second detection information includes the total amount of rotation of the second component 62B due to a plurality of operations. When the second component 62B is operated a plurality of times, the second detection information may be the number of operations of the second component 62B. The second detection information may be a numerical value obtained by converting the detection information detected by the second detection unit 67B by a conversion process.

  The control unit 68 determines whether or not the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 can be changed in step S87. The control unit 68 performs the determination in step S87 based on whether or not the first detection information and the second detection information match the predetermined detection information. In one example, the control unit 68 can change the security setting of the second component unit 64 when the total rotation amount of the first component 62A and the rotation amount of the second component 62B matches a predetermined rotation amount. Is determined. In one example, the control unit 68 matches the first rotation amount of the first component 62A with the predetermined first rotation amount, and the second configuration unit 64 when the rotation amount of the second component 62B matches the predetermined second rotation amount. It is determined that the security setting can be changed. In one example, the control unit 68 matches the predetermined value with the sum of the numerical value obtained by converting the detection information of the first detection unit 67A by the conversion process and the numerical value obtained by converting the detection information of the second detection unit 67B by the conversion process. In this case, it is determined that the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 can be changed. In one example, the numerical value obtained by converting the detection information of the first detection unit 67A by the conversion process matches the predetermined first numerical value, and the numerical value obtained by converting the detection information of the second detection unit 67B by the conversion process is predetermined second. If it matches the numerical value, it is determined that the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 can be changed. When the first component 62A is operated a plurality of times, the rotation amount of the first component 62A may be the total rotation amount of the first component 62A in the plurality of operations. When the second component 62B is operated a plurality of times, the rotation amount of the second component 62B may be the total rotation amount of the second component 62B in the plurality of operations. At least one of the predetermined rotation amount, the predetermined first rotation amount, and the predetermined second rotation amount can be arbitrarily changed by the user.

  If the determination in step S87 is affirmative, the control unit 68 changes the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 in step S88, and ends the process once. If the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S87, the process is temporarily terminated.

  When the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S84, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S89. In step S89, the control unit 68 determines whether or not a predetermined time TY1 has elapsed since the end of the rotation operation of the first component 62A. When the second component 62B is not rotated by the predetermined time TY1 after the rotation operation of the first component 62A is completed, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S89. The predetermined time TY1 is a desirable time as a time during which the user does not rotate the second component 62B after completing the rotation operation of the first component 62A, and is set in advance. The predetermined time TY1 can be arbitrarily changed by the user. The predetermined time TY1 is set to be longer than the first predetermined time TX1 and the second predetermined time TX2. In one example, the predetermined time TY1 is 10 seconds.

  When the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S89, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S84. If the determination is affirmative in step S89, that is, if the user does not rotate the second component 62B, the control unit 68 ends the process once. In this case, the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 is not changed.

  In the change of the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 shown in FIG. 15, the determination in step S87 may be omitted. In this case, when the rotation operation of the first component 62A ends in step S82 and the rotation operation of the second component 62B ends in step S85, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S88. That is, when the control unit 68 is operated in the order of the rotation operation of the first component 62A and the rotation operation of the second component 62B, the control unit 68 changes the security setting of the second component unit 64. In this case, at least one of steps S83 and S86 may be omitted.

  With reference to FIG. 16, the procedure of the 2nd process including the 2nd example of the change method of the security setting of the 2nd structure part 64 is demonstrated. In the second example, the user rotates the second component 62B to stop the rotation of the second component 62B and then rotates the first component 62A in order to change the security setting of the second component unit 64.

  The flowchart of FIG. 16 differs in that steps S81 to S83 and steps S84 to S86 in the flowchart of FIG. 15 are replaced and step S90 is added instead of step S89. The process of steps S81 to S88 in the flowchart of FIG. 16 is the same as the process of steps S81 to S87 in the flowchart of FIG.

  When it is determined in step S85 that the rotation operation of the second component 62B has been completed, the control unit 68 determines the second detection information in step S86, and proceeds to step S81. When it is determined in step S82 that the rotation operation of the first component 62A has been completed, the control unit 68 determines the first detection information in step S83, and proceeds to the determination in step S87. When the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S81, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S90. The controller 68 determines whether or not a predetermined time TY2 has elapsed since the end of the rotation operation of the second component 62B in step S90. When the first component 62A is not rotated until the predetermined time TY2 elapses from the end of the rotation operation of the second component 62B, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S90. The predetermined time TY2 is a desirable time as a time during which the user does not rotate the first component 62A after the rotation operation of the second component 62B is completed by the user. The predetermined time TY2 can be arbitrarily changed by the user. The predetermined time TY2 may be set to be longer than the first predetermined time TX1 and the second predetermined time TX2. The predetermined time TY2 may be the same as or different from the predetermined time TY1 in step S89 in FIG. An example of the predetermined time TY2 is 10 seconds.

  When the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S90, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S81. If the determination in step S90 is affirmative, that is, if the user does not perform the rotation operation of the first component 62A, the control unit 68 ends the process once. In this case, the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 is not changed.

  In the change of the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 shown in FIG. 16, the determination in step S87 may be omitted. In this case, when the rotation operation of the second component 62B ends in step S85, and the rotation operation of the first component 62A ends in step S82, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S88. That is, the control unit 68 changes the security setting of the second component unit 64 when operated in the order of the rotation operation of the second component 62B and the rotation operation of the first component 62A. In this case, at least one of steps S83 and S86 may be omitted.

  With reference to FIG. 17, the procedure of the 2nd process including the 3rd example of the change method of the security setting of the 2nd structure part 64 is demonstrated. In the third example, the user changes the security setting of the second component unit 64 so that the period for rotating the first part 62A and the period for rotating the second part 62B overlap at least partially. The first part 62A and the second part 62B are respectively rotated. Steps S81, S82, S84, and S87 to S89 in the flowchart of FIG. 17 are the same as the processes of steps S81, S82, S84, and S87 to S89 in the flowchart of FIG.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 17, when the control unit 68 determines that the first component 62A is rotated in step S81 and the rotation operation of the first component 62A is not completed in step S82, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S84. If the determination in step S84 is affirmative, the control unit 68 determines that both the first component 62A and the second component 62B are being rotated, and proceeds to step S91. When the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S84, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S89. If the control unit 68 makes an affirmative determination in step S82, the rotation operation of the first component 62A and the rotation operation of the second component 62B do not overlap, and thus the process is temporarily terminated.

  The controller 68 determines whether or not the rotation operation of the first component 62A has been completed in step S91. The determination in step S91 is the same as the determination in step S82 in FIG. When the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S91, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S89. When an affirmative determination is made in step S91, the control unit 68 determines the detection information acquired in step S92, and proceeds to step S93. The process in step S92 is the same as the process in step S83 in FIG.

  The controller 68 determines whether or not the rotation operation of the second component 62B has been completed in step S93. The determination in step S93 is the same as the determination in step S85 in FIG. When the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S93, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S89. If the determination is affirmative in step S93, the control unit 68 determines the detection information acquired in step S94, and proceeds to step S87. The process of step S94 is the same as the process of step S86 of FIG.

  17, when the first component 62A is operated a plurality of times, the determinations of steps S81 and S82 in FIG. 17 are the determinations of steps S81 and S82 when the first component 62A in FIG. 15 is operated a plurality of times. The determination in step S91 in FIG. 17 is the same as the determination in step S82. When the second component 62B is operated a plurality of times, the determinations of steps S84 and S85 in FIG. 17 are the same as the determinations of steps S84 and S85 when the first component 62A in FIG. 15 is operated a plurality of times. The determination in step S93 is the same as the determination in step S85. When the second component 62B is operated at the first predetermined time TX1, the control unit 68 completes the rotation operation of the first component 62A, determines the first detection information, and completes the rotation operation of the second component 62B. After confirming the second detection information, the process proceeds to step S87 to determine whether the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 can be changed.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 17, step S81 and step S84 may be interchanged, step S82 and step S93 may be interchanged, and step S90 may be added instead of step S89. In this case, when the control unit 68 makes an affirmative determination in step S84 and determines in step S93 that the rotation operation of the second component 62B has not ended, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S81. If the determination in step S81 is affirmative, the control unit 68 determines that both the first component 62A and the second component 62B are being rotated, and proceeds to step S81. If the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S81, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S90. If the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S90, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S93. If the control unit 68 determines in step S93 that the rotation operation of the second component 62B has ended, the rotation operation of the first component 62A and the rotation operation of the second component 62B do not overlap, and thus the process is temporarily ended. To do. When the first component 62A is operated at the first predetermined time TX1, the control unit 68 ends the rotation operation of the second component 62B, determines the second detection information, and ends the rotation operation of the first component 62A. After confirming the second detection information, the process proceeds to step S87 to determine whether the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 can be changed.

  In the change of the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 shown in FIG. 17, the determination in step S87 may be omitted. In this case, when the control unit 68 determines in step S84 that the second component 62B is being rotated, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S88. That is, the control unit 68 changes the security setting of the second component unit 64 when the period of the rotation operation of the first component 62A and the period of the rotation operation of the second component 62B overlap. In this case, the processing of steps S91 to S94 may be omitted.

(Seventh embodiment)
With reference to FIG. 1 and FIGS. 18-21, the control apparatus 60 of 7th Embodiment is demonstrated. The control device 60 of the present embodiment is mainly different from the control device 60 of the first embodiment in the security setting changing method of the second configuration unit 64. In the following description, the same reference numerals are given to components common to the human-powered vehicle 10 of the first embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 18, human-powered vehicle 10 includes an operation device 72. The operating device 72 is provided, for example, on the handle bar 10H in FIG. The operating device 72 is different from the first configuration unit 62 and the second configuration unit 64. The operating device 72 may be a dedicated device for setting the security of the second configuration unit 64, or may be a device for operating the second configuration unit 64. When the second component unit 64 does not include the cycle computer 34, the operating device 72 may include the cycle computer 34. The operating device 72 is communicably connected to the control unit 68 by wire or wireless. The operation device 72 may be a mobile communication device such as a smartphone or a tablet computer.

  The control unit 68 changes the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 according to the detection information of the detection unit 66 and the operation information of the operation device 72. Examples of the method for changing the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 by the control unit 68 include the following first to third examples.

  In the first example, the control unit 68 changes the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 when the operation device 72 is operated after the rotation operation of the first configuration unit 62. In the second example, the control unit 68 changes the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 when the rotation operation of the first configuration unit 62 is executed after the operation of the operation device 72. In the third example, when the rotation operation of the first configuration unit 62 and the input operation of the operation device 72 are executed so as to overlap at least partially, the control unit 68 sets the security setting of the second configuration unit 64. change.

  With reference to FIG. 19, the procedure of the 1st example of the change method of the security setting of the 2nd structure part 64 is demonstrated. In the first example, in order to change the security setting of the second configuration unit 64, the user performs an input operation on the operation device 72 after rotating the first configuration unit 62 to stop the rotation of the first configuration unit 62. .

  The control unit 68 determines whether or not the first component unit 62 is rotated in step S101. The control unit 68 performs the determination in step S101 based on whether or not the rotational phase position of the first component unit 62 detected by the detection unit 66 has changed. The control unit 68 determines that the first component unit 62 is being rotated when the rotational phase position of the first component unit 62 changes.

  If the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S101, the process ends once. When an affirmative determination is made in step S101, the control unit 68 determines whether or not the rotation operation of the first component unit 62 has ended in step S102. The controller 68 performs the determination in step S102 based on whether or not the rotational phase position of the first component 62 detected by the detector 66 has changed. When the rotational phase position of the first component 62 has not changed, the controller 68 determines that the rotation operation of the first component 62 has been completed.

  In the present embodiment, the number of operations of the first component 62 is one, but the user may operate the first component 62 a plurality of times. In this case, the user operates the first configuration unit 62 and then operates the first configuration unit 62 again. The control unit 68 determines that the rotation operation of the first component unit 62 has stopped in response to the rotation phase position of the first component unit 62 not changing. The amount of rotation of the first component 62 in the first operation and the amount of rotation of the first component 62 in the second operation may be different or the same. The control unit 68 controls the second configuration unit 64 based on a value obtained by calculating the rotation amount of the first configuration unit 62 in the first operation and the rotation amount of the first configuration unit 62 in the second operation. Also good.

  The controller 68 performs the process of step S102 based on whether or not the rotational phase position of the first component 62 detected by the detector 66 has changed over a third predetermined time TX3. When the rotational phase position of the first component 62 detected by the detector 66 has not changed over the third predetermined time TX3 or more, the controller 68 determines that the rotation operation of the first component 62 has ended. . The third predetermined time TX3 is a desirable time as a time for completing the rotation operation of the first component 62, and is set in advance. The third predetermined time TX3 can be arbitrarily changed by the user. An example of the third predetermined time TX3 is 2 seconds.

  When a negative determination is made in step S102, the control unit 68 executes the determination in step S102 again. If the control unit 68 makes a positive determination in step S102, that is, if it is determined that the rotation operation of the first component unit 62 has been completed, the control unit 68 determines the detection information detected by the detection unit 66 in step S103, and proceeds to step S104. To do. In one example, the detection information includes the amount of rotation of the first component 62. When the first component 62 is operated a plurality of times, the controller 68 determines the detection information when the rotational phase position of the first component 62 stops changing after the first component 62 is operated. To do. That is, the detection information includes the rotation amount of the first component 62 for each operation. When the first component 62 is operated a plurality of times, the control unit 68 stores the amount of rotation of the first component 62 every time the first component 62 is operated, and when an affirmative determination is made in step S102 Confirm the detection information. In other words, the detection information includes the total amount of rotation of the first component 62 caused by a plurality of operations. When the first component 62 is operated a plurality of times, the detection information may be the number of operations of the first component 62. The detection information may be a numerical value obtained by converting the detection information by the detection unit 66 by a conversion process.

  The control unit 68 determines whether or not the operating device 72 is operated in step S104. The control unit 68 determines that the operating device 72 is operated when receiving an operation signal corresponding to the operation of the operating device 72. An example of the operation of the operation device 72 is an operation of a switch or a touch panel provided in the operation device 72. The number of operations of the operation device 72 can be arbitrarily set. In the present embodiment, the operation device 72 is operated once.

  When an affirmative determination is made in step S104, the control unit 68 determines whether or not the operation of the operation device 72 is ended in step S105. The control unit 68 performs the determination in step S105 based on whether or not the input operation of the operating device 72 has been performed for the fourth predetermined time TX4. The control unit 68 determines that the operation of the operation device 72 has been completed when the input operation of the operation device 72 has not been performed for the fourth predetermined time TX4. The fourth predetermined time TX4 is a desirable time as a time for ending the input operation of the operating device 72, and is set in advance. The fourth predetermined time TX4 can be arbitrarily changed by the user. The fourth predetermined time TX4 may be set to be longer than the time between input operations when the operation device 72 is input multiple times. An example of the fourth predetermined time TX4 is 5 seconds.

  When a negative determination is made in step S105, the control unit 68 executes the determination in step S105 again. When an affirmative determination is made in step S105, the control unit 68 determines input information in step S106, and proceeds to step S107. The input information includes an operation signal transmitted to the control unit 68 by an input operation of the operation device 72. The control unit 68 may omit step S105. In this case, when the input operation of the operating device 72 has not been executed for the fourth predetermined time TX4 in step S104, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S106. In this case, the input information includes an operation signal transmitted to the control unit 68 by the input operation of the operation device 72 during the period from the detection information acquisition in step S103 to the fourth predetermined time TX4.

  The control unit 68 may change the process of step S105 to determine whether or not the input operation of the operation device 72 has not been performed for the fourth predetermined time TX4. In this case, when an affirmative determination is made in step S105, the control unit 68 determines that the operation of the operation device 72 has ended, and proceeds to step S106. When a negative determination is made in step S105, that is, when an input operation of the operating device 72 is executed within the fourth predetermined time TX4, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S105, assuming that the input operation of the operating device 72 has not ended. To do.

  When the operation device 72 is operated a plurality of times, for example, when a multi-digit password is input by the operation device 72, the operation of the operation device 72 ends when the numerical value input as the password is confirmed. When the operation of the operation device 72 ends, the control unit 68 makes an affirmative determination in step S105.

  In step S107, the control unit 68 determines whether the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 can be changed. The control unit 68 performs the determination in step S107 based on whether or not the detection information and the input information match information determined in advance. In one example, the control unit 68 determines that the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 can be changed when the sum of the rotation amount of the first configuration unit 62 and the input information of the operating device 72 matches the predetermined information. . In one example, the control unit 68 determines that the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 is set when the rotation amount of the first configuration unit 62 matches the predetermined rotation amount and the input information of the operating device 72 matches the predetermined input information. Judge that change is possible. In one example, the control unit 68 changes the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 when the sum of the numerical value obtained by converting the detection information of the detection unit 66 by the conversion process and the numerical value as the input information matches a predetermined numerical value. Judge that it is possible. In one example, the numerical value obtained by converting the detection information of the detection unit 66 by the conversion process matches the first numerical value determined in advance, and the numerical value as the input information by the input operation of the operating device 72 matches the predetermined second numerical value. It is determined that the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 can be changed. When the first component 62 is operated a plurality of times, the rotation amount of the first component 62 may be the total rotation amount of the first component 62 in the plurality of operations. When the operation device 72 is input multiple times, the input information may be a sum of numerical values in the multiple input operations. At least one of the predetermined information, the predetermined first numerical value, and the predetermined second numerical value can be arbitrarily changed by the user.

  If the control unit 68 makes a positive determination in step S107, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S108. Step S108 is the same process as step S88 of FIG. If the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S107, the process is temporarily terminated.

  When a negative determination is made in step S104, the control unit 68 determines whether or not a predetermined time TY3 has elapsed since the end of the rotation operation of the first component unit 62 in step S109. The predetermined time TY3 is a time that is desirable as a time during which the user does not perform an input operation on the operation device 72 after the user finishes the rotation operation of the first component unit 62, and is set in advance. The predetermined time TY3 can be arbitrarily changed by the user. The predetermined time TY3 is set to be longer than the third predetermined time TX3 and the fourth predetermined time TX4. In one example, the predetermined time TY3 is 10 seconds.

  If the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S109, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S104. If the control unit 68 makes an affirmative determination in step S109, that is, if the user has not performed an input operation on the operation device 72, the process is temporarily terminated. In this case, the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 is not changed.

  In the change of the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 shown in FIG. 19, the determination in step S107 may be omitted. In this case, when the rotation operation of the first component unit 62 ends in step S102 and the input operation of the operation device 72 ends in step S105, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S108. That is, when the control unit 68 is operated in the order of the rotation operation of the first configuration unit 62 and the input operation of the operating device 72, the control unit 68 changes the security setting of the second configuration unit 64.

  With reference to FIG. 20, the procedure of the 2nd example of the change method of the security setting of the 2nd structure part 64 is demonstrated. In the second example, the user rotates the first component 62 after the input operation of the operation device 72 is completed in order to change the security setting of the second component 64.

  The flowchart of FIG. 20 differs in that steps S101 to S103 and steps S104 to S106 in the flowchart of FIG. 19 are replaced and step S110 is added instead of step S109. The process of steps S101 to S108 in the flowchart of FIG. 20 is the same as the process of steps S101 to S108 in the flowchart of FIG.

  When it is determined in step S105 that the input operation of the operation device 72 has been completed, the control unit 68 determines the input information in step S106, and the process proceeds to step S101. When it is determined in step S102 that the rotation operation of the first component unit 62 has ended, the control unit 68 determines the detection information in step S103, and proceeds to the determination in step S107. If the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S101, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S110. The control unit 68 determines whether or not a predetermined time TY4 has elapsed since the end of the input operation of the operating device 72 in step S110. The predetermined time TY4 is a time that is desirable as a time during which the user does not rotate the first component 62 after completing the input operation of the operation device 72, and is set in advance. The predetermined time TY4 can be arbitrarily changed by the user. The predetermined time TY4 may be set to be longer than the third predetermined time TX3 and the fourth predetermined time TX4. The predetermined time TY4 may be the same as or different from the predetermined time TY3 in step S109 of FIG. An example of the predetermined time TY4 is 10 seconds.

  If the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S110, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S101. If the control unit 68 makes an affirmative determination in step S110, that is, if the user does not perform the rotation operation of the first component unit 62, the control unit 68 ends the process once. In this case, the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 is not changed.

  In the change of the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 shown in FIG. 20, the determination in step S107 may be omitted. In this case, when the input operation of the operation device 72 is finished in step S105, and the rotation operation of the first component 62 is finished in step S102, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S108. That is, when the control unit 68 is operated in the order of the input operation of the operating device 72 and the rotation operation of the first configuration unit 62, the control unit 68 changes the security setting of the second configuration unit 64.

  With reference to FIG. 21, the procedure of the 3rd example of the change method of the security setting of the 2nd structure part 64 is demonstrated. In the third example, since the user changes the security setting of the second configuration unit 64, the input operation period of the operation device 72 and the rotation operation period of the first configuration unit 62 overlap at least partially. The operating device 72 and the first component 62 are operated. Steps S101, S102, S104, and S107 to S109 in the flowchart of FIG. 21 are the same as the processes of steps S101, S102, S104, and S107 to S109 in the flowchart of FIG.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 21, when the control unit 68 determines that the first configuration unit 62 has been rotated in step S101 and the rotation operation of the first configuration unit 62 has not ended in step S102, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S104. To do. When an affirmative determination is made in step S104, the control unit 68 determines that the input operation period of the operation device 72 and the rotation operation period of the first component unit 62 overlap each other, and the process proceeds to step S111. . If the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S104, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S109. If the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S109, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S102. If the control unit 68 determines in step S102 that the rotation operation of the first component unit 62 has been completed, the input operation of the operating device 72 and the rotation operation of the first component unit 62 do not overlap, so the process is temporarily performed. finish.

  The control unit 68 determines whether or not the rotation operation of the first component unit 62 has been completed in step S111. The determination in step S111 is the same as the determination in step S102. When the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S111, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S109. When an affirmative determination is made in step S111, the control unit 68 determines the detection information acquired in step S112, and proceeds to step S113. The process in step S112 is the same as the process in step S103 in FIG.

  The control unit 68 determines whether or not the input operation of the operation device 72 is finished in step S113. The determination in step S113 is the same as the determination in step S105 in FIG. When the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S113, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S109. When an affirmative determination is made in step S113, the control unit 68 determines the input information acquired in step S114, and proceeds to step S107. The process of step S114 is the same as the process of step S106 of FIG.

  In FIG. 21, when the first component 62 is rotated a plurality of times, the processes in steps S111 and S112 in FIG. 21 are the same as the processes in steps S102 and S103 in FIG. When the operating device 72 in FIG. 21 is input multiple times, the processing in steps S113 and S114 in FIG. 21 is the same as the processing in steps S105 and S106 in FIG. When the operation device 72 is input at the third predetermined time TX3, the control unit 68 ends the rotation operation of the first component unit 62 to determine the detection information, and ends the input operation of the operation device 72. After confirming the input information, the process proceeds to step S107 to determine whether or not the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 can be changed.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 21, step S101 and step S104 may be interchanged, step S102 and step S113 may be interchanged, and step S110 may be added instead of step S109. In this case, when the control unit 68 makes an affirmative determination in step S104 and determines in step S113 that the input operation of the operating device 72 has not ended, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S101. When an affirmative determination is made in step S101, the control unit 68 determines that the input operation period of the operation device 72 and the rotation operation period of the first component unit 62 overlap each other, and the process proceeds to step S111. . If the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S101, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S110. If the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S110, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S111. If the control unit 68 makes an affirmative determination in step S111, the input operation of the operating device 72 and the rotation operation of the first component unit 62 do not overlap, and thus the process is temporarily terminated. When the operating device 72 is operated a plurality of times, the determinations in steps S104 and S113 are the same as the determinations in steps S104 and S105 when the operating device 72 in FIG. 20 is operated a plurality of times. In this case, when the first component unit 62 is operated at the fourth predetermined time TX4, the control unit 68 finishes the input operation of the operation device 72, determines the input information, and rotates the first component unit 62. After the process is completed and the detection information is confirmed, the process proceeds to step S107 to determine whether or not the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 can be changed.

  In the change of the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 shown in FIG. 21, the determination in step S107 may be omitted. In this case, when the control unit 68 determines in step S104 that the second component 62B has been rotated, the process proceeds to step S108. That is, the control unit 68 changes the security setting of the second component unit 64 when the period of the rotation operation of the first component 62A and the period of the rotation operation of the second component 62B overlap. In this case, the processing of steps S111 to S114 may be omitted.

  Next, a method for changing the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 by the control unit 68 when the operating device 72 includes the cycle computer 34 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  As shown in FIG. 22, when the operating device 72 includes the cycle computer 34, the second component unit 64 includes the lock device 32, the electric transmission 36, the electric suspension 38, the electric seat post 40, the battery 42 </ b> A, and electric assist. It includes at least one of a drive unit 44 and a display unit 42C provided on the battery 42A and the battery holder 42B.

The control unit 68 changes the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 according to the detection information of the detection unit 66 and the operation information of the cycle computer 34. Examples of the method for changing the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 by the control unit 68 include the following first example and second example.
In the first example, when the input operation of the cycle computer 34 is executed after the rotation operation of the first configuration unit 62, the control unit 68 changes the security setting of the second configuration unit 64. In the second example, the control unit 68 changes the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 when the rotation operation of the first configuration unit 62 is executed after the input operation of the cycle computer 34.

  With reference to FIG. 23, the procedure of the 1st example of the change method of the security setting of the 2nd structure part 64 is demonstrated. In the first example, in order to change the security setting of the second component unit 64, the user rotates the first component unit 62 to stop the rotation of the first component unit 62 and then performs an input operation of the cycle computer 34. Execute.

  The flowchart of FIG. 23 differs from the flowchart of FIG. 19 in that steps S115 to S117 are added instead of steps S104 to S106. 23, when the first component 62 is operated a plurality of times, the determinations in steps S101 and S102 in FIG. 23 are made in steps S101 and S102 when the first component 62 in FIG. 19 is operated a plurality of times. This is the same as the determination.

  If the control unit 68 makes a positive determination in step S102, that is, if it is determined that the rotation operation of the first component unit 62 has been completed, the control unit 68 determines the detection information acquired in step S103, and then proceeds to step S115. The control unit 68 determines whether or not an input operation of the cycle computer 34 is being performed in step S115. In one example, when the control unit 68 receives an operation signal corresponding to an input operation of the cycle computer 34, the control unit 68 determines that the cycle computer 34 is being input. An example of the operation of the cycle computer 34 is an operation of a switch or a touch panel provided in the cycle computer 34. The number of operations of the cycle computer 34 can be arbitrarily set. In the present embodiment, the cycle computer 34 is operated once. When the cycle computer 34 is input multiple times, for example, the cycle computer 34 stores a signal generated by the multiple input operations of the cycle computer 34 and outputs the signal to the control unit 68. When the cycle computer 34 is input multiple times, for example, an operation signal is output to the control unit 68 every time the cycle computer 34 is input. The control unit 68 stores operation signals generated by a plurality of input operations of the cycle computer 34.

  If the determination in step S115 is affirmative, the control unit 68 determines in step S116 whether or not the input operation of the cycle computer 34 has been completed. The control unit 68 performs the determination in step S115 based on whether or not the input operation of the cycle computer 34 has been performed for the fifth predetermined time TX5. When the input operation of the cycle computer 34 has not been executed for the fifth predetermined time TX5, the control unit 68 determines that the input operation of the cycle computer 34 has ended. The fifth predetermined time TX5 is a desirable time as a time when the input operation of the cycle computer 34 is not performed, and is set in advance. The fifth predetermined time TX5 can be arbitrarily changed by the user. When the control unit 68 does not receive a signal related to the input operation from the cycle computer 34 until the fifth predetermined time TX5 elapses after the rotation operation of the first component unit 62 is completed, the input operation of the cycle computer 34 is completed. Is determined. An example of the fifth predetermined time TX5 is 5 seconds.

  When a negative determination is made in step S116, the control unit 68 executes the determination in step S116 again. When an affirmative determination is made in step S116, the control unit 68 acquires the input information acquired in step S117, and proceeds to step S107. The input information includes an operation signal transmitted to the control unit 68 by an input operation of the cycle computer 34. The control unit 68 may omit step S116. In this case, when the input operation of the cycle computer 34 has not been executed for the fifth predetermined time TX5 in step S115, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S117. In this case, the input information includes an operation signal transmitted to the control unit 68 by the input operation of the cycle computer 34 between the detection information acquisition in step S103 and the fifth predetermined time TX5.

  The control unit 68 may change the process of step S116 to determine whether or not the input operation of the cycle computer 34 has been performed for the fifth predetermined time TX5. In this case, when an affirmative determination is made in step S116, the control unit 68 determines that the input operation of the cycle computer 34 has ended, and proceeds to step S117. When a negative determination is made in step S116, that is, when an input operation of the cycle computer 34 is executed within the fifth predetermined time TX5, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S109, assuming that the input operation of the cycle computer 34 has not ended. To do.

  When the cycle computer 34 is input a plurality of times, for example, when a multi-digit password is input by the cycle computer 34, the input operation of the cycle computer 34 ends when the numerical value input as the password is determined. When the input operation of the cycle computer 34 ends, the control unit 68 makes an affirmative determination in step S116.

  In step S107, the control unit 68 determines whether the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 can be changed. The control unit 68 performs the determination in step S107 based on whether or not the detection information and the input information match information determined in advance. In one example, the control unit 68 determines that the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 can be changed when the total of the rotation amount of the first configuration unit 62 and the input information of the cycle computer 34 matches the predetermined information. . In one example, the control unit 68 determines that the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 is set when the rotation amount of the first configuration unit 62 matches the predetermined rotation amount and the input information of the cycle computer 34 matches the predetermined input information. Judge that change is possible. In one example, the control unit 68 changes the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 when the sum of the numerical value obtained by converting the detection information of the detection unit 66 by the conversion process and the numerical value as the input information matches a predetermined numerical value. Judge that it is possible. In one example, the numerical value obtained by converting the detection information of the detection unit 66 by the conversion process matches the first numerical value determined in advance, and the numerical value as input information by the input operation of the cycle computer 34 matches the predetermined second numerical value. It is determined that the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 can be changed. When the first component 62 is operated a plurality of times, the rotation amount of the first component 62 may be the total rotation amount of the first component 62 in the plurality of operations. When the cycle computer 34 is input multiple times, the input information may be the sum of numerical values in the multiple input operations. At least one of the predetermined information, the predetermined first numerical value, and the predetermined second numerical value can be arbitrarily changed by the user.

  If the control unit 68 makes a positive determination in step S107, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S108. Step S108 is the same process as step S88 of FIG. If the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S107, the process is temporarily terminated.

  When the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S115, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S109. When the determination is negative in step S109, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S104. If the determination is affirmative in step S109, the control unit 68 ends the process once. That is, when the control unit 68 does not receive a signal related to the input operation from the cycle computer 34 until the predetermined time TY3 elapses after the detection information acquired in step S103 is confirmed, the process is temporarily ended. In this case, the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 is not changed. The predetermined time TY3 may be set to be longer than the fifth predetermined time TX5. An example of the predetermined time TY3 is 10 seconds.

  In the change of the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 shown in FIG. 23, the determination in step S107 may be omitted. In this case, when the rotation operation of the first component unit 62 ends in step S102 and the input operation of the cycle computer 34 ends in step S116, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S108. That is, the control unit 68 changes the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 when operated in the order of the rotation operation of the first configuration unit 62 and the input operation of the cycle computer 34. In this case, at least one of steps S103 and S117 may be omitted.

  With reference to FIG. 24, the procedure of the 2nd example of the change method of the security setting of the 2nd structure part 64 is demonstrated. In the second example, the user rotates the first component 62 after the input operation of the cycle computer 34 is completed in order to change the security setting of the second component 64.

  The flowchart of FIG. 24 differs in that steps S115 to S117 and steps S101 to S103 in the flowchart of FIG. 23 are interchanged and step S118 is added instead of step S109. The processes of steps S101 to S103, S107, S108, and S115 to S117 in the flowchart of FIG. 24 are the same as the processes of steps S101 to S103, S107, S108, and S115 to S117 in the flowchart of FIG.

  When it is determined in step S116 that the input operation of the cycle computer 34 has been completed, the control unit 68 determines the input information in step S117, and proceeds to step S101. When it is determined in step S102 that the rotation operation of the first component unit 62 has ended, the control unit 68 determines the detection information in step S103, and proceeds to the determination in step S107. If the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S101, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S118. The controller 68 determines whether or not a predetermined time TY5 has elapsed since the end of the input operation of the cycle computer 34 in step S118. The predetermined time TY5 is a desirable time as a time during which the user does not rotate the first component 62 after completing the input operation of the cycle computer 34, and is set in advance. The predetermined time TY5 can be arbitrarily changed by the user. The predetermined time TY5 may be set to be longer than the fifth predetermined time TX5. The predetermined time TY5 may be the same as or different from the predetermined time TY3 in step S109 of FIG. An example of the predetermined time TY5 is 10 seconds.

  When the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S118, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S101. If the control unit 68 makes an affirmative determination in step S118, that is, if the user does not perform the rotation operation of the first component unit 62, the process is temporarily ended. In this case, the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 is not changed.

  In the change of the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 shown in FIG. 24, the determination in step S107 may be omitted. In this case, when the input operation of the cycle computer 34 ends in step S116, and the rotation operation of the first component 62 ends in step S102, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S108. That is, the control unit 68 changes the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 when operated in the order of the input operation of the cycle computer 34 and the rotation operation of the first configuration unit 62. In this case, at least one of steps S117 and S103 may be omitted.

(Eighth embodiment)
A control device 60 according to the eighth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 25 to 28. The control device 60 of the present embodiment is mainly different from the control device 60 of the third embodiment in the configuration of the first configuration unit 62 and the method of changing the setting of the second configuration unit 64. In the following description, the same reference numerals are given to components common to the human-powered vehicle 10 of the third embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted.

As shown in FIG. 25, the first component 62 of the present embodiment includes a rotatable first component 62A and a second component 62B that is different from the first component 62A and is rotatable. The control unit 68 changes the position setting of the second component unit 64 according to the detection information of the first component 62A detected by the detection unit 66 and the detection information of the second component 62B detected by the detection unit 66. .
The first component 62A includes any one of the crank 12 shown in FIG. 1, the pedal 18 provided on the crank 12, the wheel 14H, the sprocket 22A, the handle bar 10H, the front fork 16A, and the stem 16B. The second part 62B includes parts different from the first part 62A among the crank 12, the pedal 18, the wheel 14H, the sprocket 22A, the handle bar 10H, the front fork 16A, and the stem 16B. In one example, the first part 62A includes the crank 12 and the second part 62B includes the handle bar 10H.

  The detection unit 66 includes a first detection unit 67A that detects the rotation state of the first component 62A, and a second detection unit 67B that detects the rotation state of the second component 62B. The first detection unit 67A and the second detection unit 67B are communicably connected to the control unit 68 by wired or wireless. The first detection unit 67A outputs detection information of the first component 62A to the control unit 68. The second detection unit 67B outputs detection information of the second component 62B to the control unit 68. When the first component 62A includes the crank 12, the first detection unit 67A may include the first element 66A and the second element 66B in the same manner as the detection unit 66 of the first embodiment shown in FIG. In this case, the detection information of the first detection unit 67A includes information on the rotation phase position, the rotation amount, and the rotation direction of the crank arm 12B. When the second component 62B includes the handle bar 10H, the second detection unit 67B includes a steering angle sensor that outputs information related to the steering angle of the handle bar 10H as detection information. The detection information of the second detection unit 67B includes information regarding the rotation phase position, the rotation amount, and the rotation direction of the handlebar 10H.

  Examples of the condition for changing the position setting of the second component unit 64 by the control unit 68 include the following first to third examples. In one example, when the second configuration unit 64 is in the second state and the operation unit 54 is not operated, the position setting of the second configuration unit 64 of the first to third examples is changed. The

  In the first example, when the rotation operation of the second component 62B is executed after the rotation operation of the first component 62A, the control unit 68 changes the position setting of the second component unit 64. In the second example, when the rotation operation of the first component 62A is executed after the rotation operation of the second component 62B, the control unit 68 changes the position setting of the second component unit 64. In the third example, when the rotation operation of the first component 62A and the rotation operation of the second component 62B are executed so as to at least partially overlap, the control unit 68 sets the position of the second component unit 64. change.

  Examples of the position setting of the second component unit 64 include the following first to third examples. In the first example, when the first component 62A and the second component 62B are respectively rotated, the position setting change state of the second component unit 64 is permitted. The control unit 68 changes the position setting of the second component unit 64 according to the rotation operation of one of the first component 62A and the second component 62B. In the second example, when the first component 62A is rotated after the second component 62B, the position setting of the second component unit 64 is changed according to the detection information of the first component 62A, and the second When the rotation operation is performed on the part 62B after the first part 62A, the position setting of the second component unit 64 is changed according to the detection information of the second part 62B. In the third example, when the first component 62A and the second component 62B are respectively operated to rotate, the position setting of the second component unit 64 is changed so as to have a predetermined position setting. The predetermined position setting is stored in the storage unit of the control device 60.

  With reference to FIG. 26, the procedure of the 1st example of the change method of the position setting of the 2nd structure part 64 is demonstrated. In the first example, the user rotates the first component 62A to stop the rotation of the first component 62A and then rotates the second component 62B in order to change the position setting of the second component 64.

  The flowchart of FIG. 26 is different in that steps S121 to S129 are added instead of steps S52 and S53 of the flowchart of FIG. Steps S121 to S126 and S129 are the same as steps S81 to S86 and S89 in the flowchart of FIG. When the control unit 68 makes an affirmative determination in each of steps S51, S121, S122, S124, and S125, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S127. The control unit 68 determines whether or not the position setting of the second component unit 64 can be changed in step S127. The determination in step S127 is the same as the determination whether or not the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 in step S87 of FIG. 15 can be changed, for example.

  If the determination in step S127 is affirmative, the control unit 68 changes the position setting of the second component unit 64 in step S128, and ends the process once. The determinations in steps S121 and S122 when the first component 62A is operated a plurality of times are the same as the determinations in steps S81 and S82 when the first component 62A is operated a plurality of times in the flowchart of FIG. The determinations of steps S124 and S125 when the second component 62B is operated a plurality of times are the same as the determinations of steps S84 and S85 when the second component 62B is operated a plurality of times in the flowchart of FIG.

  In the change of the position setting of the second configuration unit 64 shown in FIG. 26, the determination in step S127 may be omitted. In this case, when the rotation operation of the first component 62A ends in step S122 and the rotation operation of the second component 62B ends in step S125, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S128. That is, when the control unit 68 is operated in the order of the rotation operation of the first component 62A and the rotation operation of the second component 62B, the position setting of the second component unit 64 is changed. In this case, at least one of steps S123 and S126 may be omitted.

  With reference to FIG. 27, the procedure of the 2nd example of the change method of the position setting of the 2nd structure part 64 is demonstrated. In the second example, the user rotates the first component 62A after the rotation operation of the second component 62B is completed in order to change the position setting of the second component unit 64.

  The flowchart of FIG. 27 is different in that steps S121 to S123 and steps S124 to S126 of the flowchart of FIG. 26 are replaced and step S130 is added instead of step S129. The processing of steps S121 to S128 in the flowchart of FIG. 27 is the same as the processing of steps S121 to S128 in the flowchart of FIG.

  When it is determined in step S125 of FIG. 27 that the rotation operation of the second component 62B has been completed, the control unit 68 determines the second detection information in step S126, and proceeds to step S121. When it is determined in step S122 that the rotation operation of the first component 62A has been completed, the control unit 68 determines the first detection information in step S123, and proceeds to the determination in step S127. When the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S122, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S130. The control unit 68 determines whether or not a predetermined time TY2 has elapsed since the end of the rotation operation of the second component 62B in step S130.

  When the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S130, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S121. If the determination is affirmative in step S130, that is, if the user does not perform the rotation operation of the first component 62A, the control unit 68 once ends the process. In this case, the position setting of the second component unit 64 is not changed.

  In the change of the position setting of the second configuration unit 64 shown in FIG. 27, the determination in step S127 may be omitted. In this case, when the rotation operation of the second component 62B ends in step S125, and the rotation operation of the first component 62A ends in step S122, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S128. That is, the control unit 68 changes the position setting of the second component unit 64 when operated in the order of the rotation operation of the second component 62B and the rotation operation of the first component 62A. In this case, at least one of steps S123 and S126 may be omitted.

  With reference to FIG. 28, the procedure of the 3rd example of the change method of the position setting of the 2nd structure part 64 is demonstrated. In the third example, since the user changes the position setting of the second component unit 64, the period of the rotation operation of the first component 62A and the period of the rotation operation of the second component 62B overlap at least partially. The first part 62A and the second part 62B are operated. Steps S121, S122, S124, and S127 to S129 in the flowchart of FIG. 28 are the same as the processes of steps S121, S122, S124, and S127 to S129 in the flowchart of FIG.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 28, when the control unit 68 determines that the first component 62A is rotated in step S121 and the rotation operation of the first component 62A is not completed in step S122, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S124. When an affirmative determination is made in step S124, the control unit 68 determines that the period of the rotation operation of the first component 62A and the period of the rotation operation of the second component 62B overlap, and the process proceeds to step S131. . When the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S124, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S129. When the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S129, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S122. If the control unit 68 determines in step S122 that the rotation operation of the second component 62B has ended, the rotation operation of the first component 62A and the rotation operation of the second component 62B do not overlap, so the processing is temporarily ended. To do.

  The controller 68 determines whether or not the rotation operation of the first component 62A has been completed in step S131. The determination in step S131 is the same as the determination in step S122 in FIG. When the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S131, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S129. When an affirmative determination is made in step S131, the control unit 68 determines the detection information acquired in step S132, and proceeds to step S133. The process of step S132 is the same as the process of step S123 of FIG.

  The control unit 68 determines whether or not the rotation operation of the second component 62B has been completed in step S133. The determination in step S133 is the same as the determination in step S125 of FIG. When the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S133, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S129. When an affirmative determination is made in step S133, the control unit 68 determines the detection information acquired in step S134, and proceeds to step S127. The process of step S134 is the same as the process of step S126 of FIG.

  In FIG. 28, the determination in steps S121 and S122 when the first component 62A is operated a plurality of times is the determination of steps S121 and S122 when the first component 62A is operated a plurality of times in the flowchart of FIG. The same. The determinations of steps S124 and S125 when the second component 62B is operated a plurality of times are the same as the determinations of steps S124 and S125 when the second component 62B is operated a plurality of times in the flowchart of FIG. In this case, when the second component 62B is operated at the first predetermined time TX1, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S127 and determines whether or not the security setting of the second configuration unit 64 can be changed.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 28, step S121 and step S124 may be interchanged, step S122 and step S125 may be interchanged, and step S130 may be added instead of step S129. In this case, when the control unit 68 makes an affirmative determination in step S124 and determines in step S125 that the rotation operation of the second component 62B has not ended, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S121. If the determination in step S121 is affirmative, the control unit 68 determines that the period of the rotation operation of the first component 62A and the period of the rotation operation of the second component 62B overlap, and the process proceeds to step S131. . When the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S121, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S129. When the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S129, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S125. If the control unit 68 makes an affirmative determination in step S125, the rotation operation of the first component 62A and the rotation operation of the second component 62B do not overlap, and thus the process is temporarily terminated.

  In the change of the position setting of the second configuration unit 64 shown in FIG. 28, the determination in step S127 may be omitted. In this case, when the control unit 68 determines in step S124 that the second component 62B has been rotated, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S128. That is, the control unit 68 changes the position setting of the second component unit 64 when the period of the rotation operation of the first component 62A and the period of the rotation operation of the second component 62B overlap. In this case, the processing of steps S131 to S134 may be omitted.

(Ninth embodiment)
A control device 60 according to the ninth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 29 to 32. The control device 60 of the present embodiment is mainly different from the control device 60 of the eighth embodiment in the method for changing the position setting of the second component unit 64. In the following description, the same reference numerals are given to components common to the human-powered vehicle 10 of the eighth embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 29, human-powered vehicle 10 includes an operation device 72. The operation device 72 is provided on the handle bar 10H, for example. The operating device 72 is different from the first configuration unit 62 and the second configuration unit 64. The operating device 72 may be a dedicated device for setting the position of the second configuration unit 64 or may be a device for operating the second configuration unit 64. The operating device 72 is communicably connected to the control unit 68 by wire or wireless.

  The control unit 68 changes the position setting of the second configuration unit 64 according to the detection information of the detection unit 66 and the operation information of the operating device 72. Examples of the method for changing the position setting of the second configuration unit 64 by the control unit 68 include the following first to third examples.

  In the first example, the control unit 68 changes the position setting of the second configuration unit 64 when the input operation of the operating device 72 is executed after the rotation operation of the first configuration unit 62. In the second example, the control unit 68 changes the position setting of the second configuration unit 64 when the rotation operation of the first configuration unit 62 is executed after the input operation of the operating device 72. In the third example, when the control unit 68 is executed so that the rotation operation of the first configuration unit 62 and the input operation of the operation device 72 are at least partially overlapped, the position setting of the second configuration unit 64 is performed. change.

With reference to FIG. 30, the procedure of the 1st example of the change method of the position setting of the 2nd structure part 64 is demonstrated. In the first example, in order to change the position setting of the second component unit 64, the user operates the first component unit 62 to stop the rotation of the first component unit 62, and then inputs the operation device 72. .
The flowchart in FIG. 30 is different in that steps S141 to S149 are added instead of steps S52 and S53 in the flowchart in FIG. Steps S141 to S146 and S149 are the same processes as steps S101 to S106 and S109 in the flowchart of FIG. Steps S147 and S148 are the same processes as steps S127 and S128 in the flowchart of FIG. The determination in steps S141 and S142 when the first component 62 is operated a plurality of times is the same as the determination in steps S101 and S102 when the first component 62 is operated a plurality of times in the flowchart of FIG. is there. The determinations in steps S144 and S145 when the operating device 72 is operated a plurality of times are the same as the determinations in steps S114 and S115 when the operating device 72 is operated a plurality of times in the flowchart of FIG.

  When the control unit 68 makes an affirmative determination in steps S51, S141, S142, S144, and S145, the process proceeds to step S147. The control part 68 once complete | finishes a process, when negative determination is carried out in step S51 or step S141. When the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S144 or makes a negative determination in step S145, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S149. If the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S149, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S144. The control part 68 once complete | finishes a process, when it affirmation determinates in step S149.

  In the change of the position setting of the second configuration unit 64 shown in FIG. 30, step S147 may be omitted. In this case, when the rotation operation of the first component unit 62 ends in step S142 and the input operation of the operation device 72 ends in step S145, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S148. That is, when the control unit 68 is operated in the order of the rotation operation of the first configuration unit 62 and the input operation of the operation device 72, the position setting of the second configuration unit 64 is changed. In this case, at least one of steps S143 and S146 may be omitted.

  With reference to FIG. 31, the procedure of the 2nd example of the change method of the position setting of the 2nd structure part 64 is demonstrated. In the second example, the user rotates the first component 62 after the input operation of the operation device 72 is completed in order to change the position setting of the second component 64.

  The flowchart of FIG. 31 is different in that step S141 and step S144 in the flowchart of FIG. 30 are replaced, step S142 and step S145 are replaced, and step S150 is added instead of step S149. The process of steps S141 to S148 in the flowchart of FIG. 31 is the same as the process of steps S141 to S148 in the flowchart of FIG.

  If the control unit 68 determines in step S145 that the input operation of the operating device 72 has been completed, the control unit 68 determines the input information in step S146, and proceeds to step S141. When it is determined in step S142 that the rotation operation of the first component unit 62 has ended, the control unit 68 determines the detection information in step S143, and proceeds to the determination in step S147. If the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S141, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S150. The determination in step S150 is the same as the determination in step S110 in FIG.

  When the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S150, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S141. If the control unit 68 makes an affirmative determination in step S150, that is, if the user does not perform the rotation operation of the first component unit 62, the process is temporarily ended. In this case, the position setting of the second component unit 64 is not changed.

  In the change of the position setting of the second configuration unit 64 shown in FIG. 31, step S147 may be omitted. In this case, when the input operation of the operation device 72 is finished in step S145 and the rotation operation of the first component unit 62 is finished in step S142, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S148. That is, when the control unit 68 is operated in the order of the input operation of the operating device 72 and the rotation operation of the first configuration unit 62, the position setting of the second configuration unit 64 is changed. In this case, at least one of steps S143 and S146 may be omitted.

  With reference to FIG. 32, the procedure of the 3rd example of the change method of the position setting of the 2nd structure part 64 is demonstrated. In the third example, since the user changes the position setting of the second component unit 64, the period of the input operation of the operating device 72 and the period of the rotation operation of the first component unit 62 overlap at least partially. The operating device 72 and the first component 62 are operated. Steps S141, S142, S144, and S147 to S149 in the flowchart of FIG. 32 are the same as the processes of steps S141, S142, S144, and S147 to S149 in the flowchart of FIG.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 32, when the control unit 68 determines that the first component 62 has been rotated in step S141 and the rotation of the first component 62 has not been completed in step S142, the control proceeds to step S144. To do. When an affirmative determination is made in step S144, the control unit 68 determines that the input operation period of the operation device 72 and the rotation operation period of the first component unit 62 overlap each other, and the process proceeds to step S151. . When the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S144, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S149. When the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S149, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S142. If the control unit 68 determines in step S142 that the rotation operation of the first component unit 62 has ended, the rotation operation of the first component unit 62 and the input operation of the operation device 72 do not overlap, and thus the process is temporarily performed. finish.

  The controller 68 determines whether or not the rotation operation of the first component 62 has been completed in step S151. The determination in step S151 is the same as the determination in step S142. When the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S151, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S149. When an affirmative determination is made in step S151, the control unit 68 determines the detection information acquired in step S152, and proceeds to step S153. The process in step S152 is the same as the process in step S143 in FIG.

  In step S153, the control unit 68 determines whether or not the input operation of the operation device 72 has been completed. The determination in step S153 is the same as the determination in step S145 of FIG. When the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S153, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S149. When an affirmative determination is made in step S153, the control unit 68 determines the input information acquired in step S154, and proceeds to step S147. The process of step S154 is the same as the process of step S146 of FIG.

  In FIG. 32, the determinations in steps S141, S142, and S151 when the first component 62 is operated a plurality of times are performed in steps S141 and S142 when the first component 62 in the flowchart of FIG. 30 is operated a plurality of times. It is the same as the determination of. The determinations of steps S143, S144, and S153 when the operation device 72 is operated a plurality of times are the same as the determinations of steps S143 and S144 when the operation device 72 is operated a plurality of times in the flowchart of FIG. When the operation device 72 is input at the third predetermined time TX3, the control unit 68 ends the rotation operation of the first component unit 62 to determine the detection information, and ends the input operation of the operation device 72. After the input information is confirmed, the process proceeds to step S147 to determine whether or not the position setting of the second component unit 64 can be changed.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 32, step S141 and step S143 may be interchanged, step S142 and step S153 may be interchanged, and step S150 may be added instead of step S149. In this case, when the control unit 68 makes an affirmative determination in step S153 and determines in step S141 that the input operation of the operating device 72 has not ended, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S142. When an affirmative determination is made in step S142, the control unit 68 determines that the input operation period of the operation device 72 and the rotation operation period of the first component unit 62 overlap each other, and the process proceeds to step S151. . When the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S142, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S149. When the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S149, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S153. If the control unit 68 determines in step S153 that the input operation of the operation device 72 has ended, the rotation operation of the first component unit 62 and the input operation of the operation device 72 do not overlap, and thus the process is temporarily ended. .

  In the change of the position setting of the second configuration unit 64 shown in FIG. 32, the determination in step S147 may be omitted. In this case, when the control unit 68 determines in step S144 that the operating device 72 is being input, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S148. That is, the control unit 68 changes the position setting of the second configuration unit 64 when the period of the rotation operation of the first configuration unit 62 and the period of the input operation of the operating device 72 overlap. In this case, the processing of steps S151 to S154 may be omitted.

(10th Embodiment)
A control device 60 according to the tenth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 33 to 36. The control device 60 of the present embodiment is mainly different from the control device 60 of the fourth embodiment in the method for changing the setting of the second configuration unit 64. In the following description, the same reference numerals are given to components common to the human-powered vehicle 10 of the fourth embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 33, human-powered vehicle 10 includes an operation device 72. The operation device 72 is provided on the handle bar 10H, for example. Unlike the shifter 46, the operating device 72 is connected to the control unit 68 so as to be communicable. The operating device 72 may be a dedicated device for setting the position of the second configuration unit 64 or may be a device for operating the second configuration unit 64. The operating device 72 is communicably connected to the control unit 68 by wire or wireless.

  The control unit 68 changes the position setting of the electric suspension 38 according to the detection information of the detection unit 66 and the input operation information of the operating device 72. Examples of the method for changing the position setting of the electric suspension 38 by the control unit 68 include the following first to third examples.

  In the first example, when the operation of the shifter 46 is executed after the input operation of the operating device 72, the control unit 68 changes the position setting of the electric suspension 38. In the second example, the control unit 68 changes the position setting of the electric suspension 38 when the input operation of the operating device 72 is executed after the shifter 46 is operated. In the third example, when the operation of the shifter 46 and the input operation of the operating device 72 are executed so as to overlap at least partially, the control unit 68 changes the position setting of the electric suspension 38.

  With reference to FIG. 34, the procedure of the 1st example of the change method of the position setting of the electric suspension 38 is demonstrated. In the first example, in order to change the position setting of the electric suspension 38, the user performs an operation of the shifter 46 after performing an input operation on the operation device 72 and finishing the input operation on the operation device 72.

  The control unit 68 determines whether or not the operating device 72 is input in step S161. The process of step S161 is the same as the process of step S104 of FIG. The determination in step S161 when the operating device 72 is operated a plurality of times is the same as the determination in step S104 of FIG. 20 when the operating device 72 is operated a plurality of times.

  When an affirmative determination is made in step S161, the control unit 68 determines whether or not the input operation of the operating device 72 has ended in step S162. The determination in step S162 is the same as the determination in step S105 in FIG. The determination in step S162 when the operating device 72 is operated a plurality of times is the same as the determination in step S105 of FIG. 20 when the operating device 72 is operated a plurality of times.

  When a negative determination is made in step S162, the control unit 68 executes the determination in step S162 again. When an affirmative determination is made in step S162, the control unit 68 determines the input information acquired in step S163, and proceeds to step S164. The control unit 68 determines whether or not the shifter 46 is operated in step S164. The control unit 68 performs the determination in step S164 based on whether or not the rotational phase position of the shifter 46 detected by the detection unit 66 has changed. The control unit 68 determines that the shifter 46 is being rotated when the rotational phase position of the shifter 46 changes.

  When an affirmative determination is made in step S164, the control unit 68 determines whether or not the rotation operation of the shifter 46 is completed in step S165. The control unit 68 performs the determination in step S165 based on whether or not the rotational phase position of the shifter 46 detected by the detection unit 66 has changed. When the rotational phase position of the shifter 46 does not change in step S165, the control unit 68 determines that the operation of the shifter 46 has been completed.

  In the present embodiment, the shifter 46 is operated once, but the user may operate the shifter 46 a plurality of times. In this case, the user operates the shifter 46 again after operating the shifter 46. The control unit 68 determines that the operation of the shifter 46 has stopped in response to the rotation phase position of the shifter 46 not changing. The rotation amount of the shifter 46 in the first operation and the rotation amount of the shifter 46 in the second operation may be different or the same. The control unit 68 may control the electric suspension 38 based on a value obtained by calculating the rotation amount of the shifter 46 in the first operation and the rotation amount of the shifter 46 in the second operation.

  The control unit 68 performs the process of step S165 based on whether or not the rotational phase position of the shifter 46 detected by the detection unit 66 has changed over the sixth predetermined time TX6. When the rotational phase position of the shifter 46 detected by the detection unit 66 has not changed over the sixth predetermined time TX6 or more, the control unit 68 determines that the operation of the shifter 46 has been completed. The sixth predetermined time TX6 is a desirable time as a time during which the shifter 46 is not operated, and is set in advance. The sixth predetermined time TX6 can be arbitrarily changed by the user. An example of the sixth predetermined time TX6 is 2 seconds.

  When the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S165, the control unit 68 executes the determination in step S165 again. When the determination is affirmative in step S165, the control unit 68 determines the detection information acquired in step S166, and proceeds to step S167. In one example, the detection information includes the amount of rotation of the shifter 46. When the shifter 46 is operated a plurality of times, the control unit 68 determines the detection information when the rotational phase position of the shifter 46 does not change after the shifter 46 is operated. That is, the detection information includes the rotation amount of the shifter 46 for each operation. When the shifter 46 is operated a plurality of times, the control unit 68 stores the rotation amount of the shifter 46 every time the shifter 46 is operated, and confirms the detection information when an affirmative determination is made in step S165. That is, the detection information includes the total amount of rotation of the shifter 46 due to a plurality of operations. When the shifter 46 is operated a plurality of times, the detection information may be the number of times the shifter 46 is operated. The detection information may be a numerical value obtained by converting the detection information by the detection unit 66 by a conversion process.

  The control unit 68 determines whether or not the position setting of the electric suspension 38 can be changed in step S167. The control unit 68 performs the determination in step S167 based on whether or not the detection information and the input information match information determined in advance. In one example, the control unit 68 determines that the position setting of the electric suspension 38 can be changed when the sum of the rotation amount of the shifter 46 and the input information of the operating device 72 matches the predetermined information. For example, the control unit 68 determines that the position setting of the electric suspension 38 can be changed when the rotation amount of the shifter 46 matches the predetermined rotation amount and the input information of the operating device 72 matches the predetermined input information. . In one example, the control unit 68 can change the position setting of the electric suspension 38 when the sum of the numerical value obtained by converting the detection information of the detection unit 66 by the conversion process and the numerical value as the input information matches a predetermined numerical value. judge. In one example, the numerical value obtained by converting the detection information of the detection unit 66 by the conversion process matches the first numerical value determined in advance, and the numerical value as the input information by the input operation of the operating device 72 matches the predetermined second numerical value. Then, it is determined that the position setting of the electric suspension 38 can be changed. When the shifter 46 is operated a plurality of times, the rotation amount of the shifter 46 may be a total rotation amount of the shifter 46 in a plurality of operations. When the operation device 72 is input multiple times, the input information may be a sum of numerical values in the multiple input operations. At least one of the predetermined information, the predetermined first numerical value, and the predetermined second numerical value can be arbitrarily changed by the user.

  When an affirmative determination is made in step S167, the control unit 68 changes the position setting of the electric suspension 38 in step S168, and ends the process once. The control part 68 once complete | finishes a process, when negative determination is made in step S167.

  When a negative determination is made in step S164, the control unit 68 determines whether or not a predetermined time TY6 has elapsed from the end of the input operation of the operating device 72 in step S169. The predetermined time TY6 is a desirable time as a time during which the shifter 46 is not operated after the input operation of the operation device 72 is completed, and is set in advance. The predetermined time TY6 can be arbitrarily changed by the user. An example of the predetermined time TY6 is 10 seconds.

  When the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S169, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S164. If the determination is affirmative in step S169, that is, if the user does not operate the shifter 46 until the predetermined time TY4 has elapsed, the control unit 68 ends the process once. In this case, the position setting of the electric suspension 38 is not changed.

  With reference to FIG. 35, the procedure of the 2nd process including the 2nd example of the change method of the position setting of the electric suspension 38 is demonstrated. In the second example, in order to change the position setting of the electric suspension 38, the user operates the shifter 46 to end the operation of the shifter 46 and then performs an input operation on the operation device 72.

  The flowchart in FIG. 35 is different in that steps S161 to S163 and steps S164 to S166 in the flowchart in FIG. 34 are replaced and step S170 is added instead of step S169. The process of steps S161 to S168 in the flowchart of FIG. 35 is the same as the process of steps S161 to S168 in the flowchart of FIG.

  If the control unit 68 determines in step S165 that the operation of the shifter 46 has been completed, the control unit 68 determines the detection information in step S166, and proceeds to step S161. When it is determined in step S162 that the input operation of the operation device 72 has been completed, the control unit 68 determines the input information in step S163, and proceeds to the determination in step S167. When a negative determination is made in step S162, the control unit 68 executes the determination in step S162 again. The controller 68 determines whether or not a predetermined time TY7 has elapsed since the end of the operation of the shifter 46 in step S170. The predetermined time TY7 is a desirable time as a time during which the operation device 72 is not operated after the operation of the shifter 46 is finished, and is set in advance. The predetermined time TY7 can be arbitrarily changed by the user. An example of the predetermined time TY7 is 10 seconds.

  If the control unit 68 makes a negative determination in step S170, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S161. If the determination is affirmative in step S170, that is, if the user does not operate the shifter 46 before the predetermined time TY7 has elapsed, the control unit 68 ends the process once. In this case, the position setting of the electric suspension 38 is not changed.

  In the change of the position setting of the electric suspension 38 in FIG. 35, the determination in step S167 may be omitted. In this case, when the input operation of the operation device 72 is finished in step S165 and the operation of the shifter 46 is finished in step S162, the control unit 68 proceeds to step S168. That is, when the control unit 68 is operated in the order of the input operation of the operating device 72 and the operation of the shifter 46, the position setting of the electric suspension 38 is changed. In this case, at least one of steps S163 and S166 may be omitted.

  With reference to FIG. 36, the procedure of the 2nd process including the 3rd example of the change method of the position setting of the electric suspension 38 is demonstrated. In the third example, in order for the user to change the position setting of the electric suspension 38, the shifter 46 and the operation device 72 are arranged so that the period during which the shifter 46 is operated and the period during which the operation device 72 is input are at least partially overlapped.
