Description

用於兩輪車輛的停車輔助系統以及其的控制方法  Parking assist system for two-wheeled vehicles and control method therefor  

本文所述之標的係概括關於一種用於兩輪車輛的停車輔助系統,且特別而非僅僅關於其的一種控制方法。 The subject matter described herein relates generally to a parking assist system for a two-wheeled vehicle, and particularly, but not exclusively, to a control method therefor.

對於駕駛者而言,停放車輛係經常具有挑戰性,由於涉及在其他停放的車輛之間的操縱(maneuver),尤其是在擁擠的馬路。然而,在一些情形係要求在以一種首尾相接的方式所停放的二輛車輛之間的操縱,在一些其他情形係要求車輛被操縱在以一種並排的方式而彼此平行停放的二輛車輛之間。典型而言,影響可操縱性的一些因素係包括所停放的車輛之尺寸、所停放的車輛之轉動半徑、該車輛在停車時的速度與類似者。 Parking for vehicles is often challenging for the driver, as it involves maneuver between other parked vehicles, especially on crowded roads. However, in some cases it is required to maneuver between two vehicles parked in an end-to-end manner, in some other cases requiring the vehicle to be maneuvered in two vehicles parked parallel to each other in a side-by-side manner. between. Typically, some of the factors that affect maneuverability include the size of the parked vehicle, the radius of rotation of the parked vehicle, the speed at which the vehicle is parked, and the like.

為了有利於駕駛者容易停車,典型而言,四輪車輛係裝備有停車輔助系統,其藉由對於駕駛者指出該車輛相關於已停放的車輛而正在行進的目前方向以導引駕駛者將車輛停放妥當。然而,停車輔助系統係不常使用在兩輪車輛中,且兩輪車輛係通常以手動方式推動來停放;諸如:經裝配為由一個內燃機或一個牽引馬達或二者所發動之一種車輛、以及其由一個牽引馬達所發動之一種電動車輛。此外,相較於一般的兩輪車輛, 混合/電動式的兩輪車輛係歸因於牽引馬達之較大的嵌齒轉矩而較難推動。甚者,混合式兩輪車輛係亦比一般的兩輪車輛為顯著較重。結果,將該種混合/電動式的車輛推動到一個停車場係證實為不方便。甚者,由於通常在混合/電動式的兩輪車輛所提供的初始動力/加速度係較高,為了停車而控制該種車輛係變得困難。 In order to facilitate the driver's easy parking, the four-wheeled vehicle is typically equipped with a parking assist system that guides the driver to the vehicle by indicating to the driver the current direction in which the vehicle is traveling in relation to the parked vehicle. Park properly. However, parking assist systems are not commonly used in two-wheeled vehicles, and two-wheeled vehicles are typically manually pushed to park; such as a vehicle that is assembled to be powered by an internal combustion engine or a traction motor or both, and An electric vehicle that is powered by a traction motor. In addition, the hybrid/electric two-wheeled vehicle is more difficult to push due to the larger cogging torque of the traction motor than a typical two-wheeled vehicle. In addition, the hybrid two-wheeled vehicle system is also significantly heavier than the average two-wheeled vehicle. As a result, it was inconvenient to push the hybrid/electric vehicle to a parking lot. Moreover, since the initial power/acceleration system usually provided by the hybrid/electric two-wheeled vehicle is high, it is difficult to control the vehicle system for parking.

一些先前技藝係揭示在兩輪的混合/電動車輛中之停車輔助系統的使用。然而,在已知的停車輔助系統中係存在一些問題。舉例來說,在一種停車輔助系統為已知的一些混合/電動車輛中,要通知其他的駕駛、行人或甚至是車輛操作者本身,該車輛正在以一個停車模式來移動,特別是朝反向方向來移動之一種停車指示系統係未知。停車指示系統之欠缺係因此證實為一種安全的風險。甚者,在一些混合/電動車輛中,藉由車輛朝逆向方向的移動以利於逆向停車之停車輔助系統的操作係已知,其中,停車輔助系統係僅僅藉著一個按鈕/停車開關之按壓而啟動。然而,若車輛操作者係不慎地按壓該停車開關,該等車輛係面對自動朝逆向方向而移動之危險。 Some prior art techniques have revealed the use of parking assist systems in two-wheel hybrid/electric vehicles. However, there are some problems in the known parking assist systems. For example, in some hybrid/electric vehicles in which the parking assistance system is known, it is necessary to inform other drivers, pedestrians or even the vehicle operator itself that the vehicle is moving in a parking mode, especially in the reverse direction. A parking indicator system that moves in the direction is unknown. The lack of a parking indicator system is thus proven to be a safety risk. Moreover, in some hybrid/electric vehicles, the operation of the parking assist system that facilitates reverse parking by moving the vehicle in the reverse direction is known, wherein the parking assist system is merely pressed by a button/parking switch. start up. However, if the vehicle operator inadvertently presses the parking switch, the vehicles are in danger of moving automatically in the reverse direction.

因此,提出一種用於兩輪車輛的停車輔助系統係被期望的,特別是用於具有改良的安全特徵之兩輪混合/電動車輛。 Accordingly, it is desirable to provide a parking assist system for a two-wheeled vehicle, particularly for a two-wheel hybrid/electric vehicle having improved safety features.

本發明係鑒於上述的問題所設計。 The present invention has been devised in view of the above problems.

本發明之一個目的係提出一種用於兩輪車輛的停車輔助系統。 One object of the present invention is to provide a parking assist system for a two-wheeled vehicle.

本發明之另一個目的係提出一種用於兩輪車輛的停車輔助系統,其能夠以一個停車輔助模式來輔助該車輛為朝一個順向方向或逆向方向之移動。 Another object of the present invention is to provide a parking assist system for a two-wheeled vehicle that can assist the vehicle in moving in a forward or reverse direction in a parking assist mode.

本發明之又一個目的係提出一種停車輔助系統,其包括一個電子控制單元,該電子控制單元係裝配以控制經遞送到該車輛之一個牽引馬達的功率而供朝一個順向方向或逆向方向來發動該車輛。 Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a parking assist system that includes an electronic control unit that is configured to control the power delivered to a traction motor of the vehicle for either a forward or reverse direction. Start the vehicle.

本發明之再一個目的係提出一種停車輔助系統,其包括一個電子控制單元,該電子控制單元係裝配以將停車指示訊號傳送到一個儀表群以供停車輔助模式的選擇之通知。 Still another object of the present invention is to provide a parking assist system that includes an electronic control unit that is configured to transmit a parking indication signal to a cluster of meters for notification of selection of a parking assist mode.

本發明之還有一個目的係提出一種停車輔助系統,其包括一個電子控制單元,該電子控制單元係裝配以將一個停車訊號傳送到該車輛的複數個危險燈以供停車輔助模式的選擇之通知。 Still another object of the present invention is to provide a parking assistance system including an electronic control unit that is configured to transmit a parking signal to a plurality of dangerous lights of the vehicle for notification of selection of a parking assist mode .

鑒於以上與其他目的,本發明係提出一種兩輪車輛,其包括一種停車輔助系統,用於在一個停車輔助模式來輔助該車輛朝一個順向或逆向方向之移動。按照本發明的一個觀點,該種停車輔助系統係包括一個電子控制單元,其有助於在停車輔助模式來輔助該車輛朝順向或逆向方向之移動。特別而言,該電子控制單元係作用以在停車輔助模式來輔助該車輛,藉由控制經遞送到該車輛之一個牽引馬達的輸出功率。舉例來說,該電子控制單元係作用以控制經遞送到該車輛之牽引馬達的輸出功率,基於車輛速度、油門位置、煞車條件與類似者,其為接收自諸如霍爾感測器、油門位置感測器、煞車開關與類似者之車輛感測器;使得一個車輛操作者係在停車時而具有對於車輛的較佳控制。 In view of the above and other objects, the present invention provides a two-wheeled vehicle that includes a parking assist system for assisting movement of the vehicle in a forward or reverse direction in a parking assist mode. According to one aspect of the invention, the parking assistance system includes an electronic control unit that assists in the parking assist mode to assist in the movement of the vehicle in a forward or reverse direction. In particular, the electronic control unit functions to assist the vehicle in a parking assist mode by controlling the output power delivered to a traction motor of the vehicle. For example, the electronic control unit functions to control the output power delivered to the traction motor of the vehicle, based on vehicle speed, throttle position, braking conditions, and the like, received from, for example, a Hall sensor, throttle position Sensors, brake switches and similar vehicle sensors; enabling a vehicle operator to have better control of the vehicle while parked.

特別而言,按照本發明的一個實施例,該電子控制單元係作用以當該車輛的一個停車開關為在ON狀態且第一組的預定條件與第二組的預定條件之一者為滿足時,而控制經遞送到牽引馬達的輸出功率。在一個實施例中,該第一組的預定條件係當車輛速度為低於第一臨限車輛速度、且油門位置為在一個打開狀態時而滿足。因此,當該控制單元係偵測到第一組的預定條件,該控制單元係致使該車輛以一個順向方向而操作在停車輔助模式。因此,由於經遞送到牽引馬達的輸出功率係受控制,確保的是,該車輛係以小於第一臨限車輛速度之第一預先選擇速度而移動。換言之,該車輛係致使在當其操作於停車輔助模式時而以較低的速度來移動,因而提供車輛操作者在停車期間對於車輛的較佳控制且致能在停車期間的車輛之容易操縱。 In particular, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the electronic control unit functions to operate when one of the parking switches of the vehicle is in an ON state and the predetermined condition of the first group is satisfied with one of the predetermined conditions of the second group And control the output power delivered to the traction motor. In one embodiment, the predetermined condition of the first set is satisfied when the vehicle speed is below the first threshold vehicle speed and the throttle position is in an open state. Therefore, when the control unit detects the predetermined condition of the first group, the control unit causes the vehicle to operate in the parking assist mode in a forward direction. Thus, since the output power delivered to the traction motor is controlled, it is ensured that the vehicle is moving at a first preselected speed that is less than the first threshold vehicle speed. In other words, the vehicle is caused to move at a lower speed when it is operating in the parking assist mode, thus providing better control of the vehicle by the vehicle operator during parking and enabling easy handling of the vehicle during parking.

同理,該電子控制單元係作用以當第二組的預定條件為滿足 時而控制經遞送到牽引馬達的輸出功率,且致使該車輛朝一個逆向方向而移動。按照本發明的一個實施例,該第二組的預定條件係當車輛速度為零、油門位置為在一個閉合狀態、煞車為在OFF條件、且由該車輛之一個後輪所獲得的轉動角度為一個預先定義轉動度數(例如:後輪轉動的四分之一轉)而滿足。換言之,該第二組的預定條件係當該車輛為手動朝後推動而滿足,藉此該電子控制單元係偵測後輪的四分之一的反轉且致使該車輛為朝逆向方向而移動。因此,當車輛操作者係朝逆向方向而推動該車輛以停車,該電子控制單元係自動致使該車輛以第二預先選擇速度朝逆向方向而移動。上述特徵之提供係亦有助於容易從一個停放狀態來將車輛取出。按照本發明的一個實施例,車輛的該第二預先選擇速度係小於第一預先選擇速度。換言之,相較於朝順向方向的速度,車輛係朝逆向方向以一個較低的速度而移動,因而確保車輛與車輛操作者之安全性。然而,同時,由於最小量的功率係供應到牽引馬達,確保的是,車輛係可在沒有太費力氣的情況下而朝逆向方向來移動,其否則將為難以手動推動,尤其是在上坡的情形。特別而言,由於朝逆向方向來推動該車輛之一種手動的介入,對該電子控制單元以將該車輛朝逆向方向而發動而言係牽涉在內的,確保的是,不會有僅僅因為停車開關之按壓/選擇而朝逆向方向之該車輛的不慎移動。 Similarly, the electronic control unit acts to control the output power delivered to the traction motor when the predetermined condition of the second set is satisfied and causes the vehicle to move in a reverse direction. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the predetermined condition of the second group is when the vehicle speed is zero, the throttle position is in a closed state, the brake is in an OFF condition, and the rotation angle obtained by a rear wheel of the vehicle is A predetermined degree of rotation (for example, a quarter turn of the rear wheel rotation) is satisfied. In other words, the predetermined condition of the second group is satisfied when the vehicle is manually pushed backwards, whereby the electronic control unit detects a quarter of the rear wheel reversal and causes the vehicle to move in a reverse direction. . Thus, when the vehicle operator pushes the vehicle in a reverse direction to stop, the electronic control unit automatically causes the vehicle to move in a reverse direction at a second preselected speed. The provision of the above features also facilitates easy removal of the vehicle from a parked state. According to an embodiment of the invention, the second preselected speed of the vehicle is less than the first preselected speed. In other words, the vehicle moves at a lower speed in the reverse direction than in the forward direction, thus ensuring the safety of the vehicle and the vehicle operator. At the same time, however, since a minimum amount of power is supplied to the traction motor, it is ensured that the vehicle can be moved in the reverse direction without too much effort, which would otherwise be difficult to manually push, especially on the uphill The situation. In particular, since a manual intervention of the vehicle is pushed in the reverse direction, the electronic control unit is involved in driving the vehicle in the reverse direction, ensuring that there is no parking alone. Inadvertent movement of the vehicle in the reverse direction by pressing/selecting of the switch.

按照本發明的另一個觀點,在該兩輪車輛中,該停車開關係和一種危險開關為結合。因此,當該停車開關係切換為ON,複數個危險燈係開始發光。因此,確保的是,當該車輛係操作在停車輔助模式,路過者/行人係受到提醒而警覺。 According to another aspect of the present invention, in the two-wheeled vehicle, the parking open relationship and a dangerous switch are combined. Therefore, when the parking open relationship is switched ON, a plurality of dangerous light systems start to emit light. Therefore, it is ensured that when the vehicle is operating in the parking assist mode, the passerby/pedestrian is alerted and alert.

按照本發明的再一個觀點,一個停車指示訊號係從該電子控 制單元而傳達到該車輛的儀表群。特別而言,在一個實施例中,經提供到儀表群的該停車指示訊號係可為其包括文字與色彩指示之一種視覺指示;而在另一個實施例中,經提供的該停車指示訊號係可為一種聽覺指示。 According to still another aspect of the present invention, a parking indication signal is transmitted from the electronic control unit to the instrument cluster of the vehicle. In particular, in one embodiment, the parking indication signal provided to the instrument cluster can be a visual indication that includes text and color indications; and in another embodiment, the parking indication signal system is provided Can be an audible indication.

再者,本發明係亦描述該電子控制單元操作之一種方法,其用於當該停車開關被切換為ON而控制經遞送到牽引馬達的輸出功率。 Furthermore, the present invention also describes a method of operation of the electronic control unit for controlling the output power delivered to the traction motor when the parking switch is switched ON.

以上所提供的概論係解說本發明的基本特徵且並未限制本發明的範疇。 The above summary is provided to illustrate the essential features of the invention and not to limit the scope of the invention.

因此,在本文所述之本發明標的係關於一種用於兩輪車輛的停車輔助系統,其致能車輛容易停車而且確保適當的安全措施。特別而言,該種停車輔助系統係包括諸如混合式控制單元之一個電子控制單元,其用於控制經遞送到一個牽引馬達的輸出功率,使得該車輛係可為以第一預先選擇速度與第二預先選擇速度之一者而朝一個順向方向或一個逆向方向來操作在一個停車輔助模式。 Accordingly, the subject matter described herein is directed to a parking assist system for a two-wheeled vehicle that enables the vehicle to be easily parked and ensures appropriate safety measures. In particular, the parking assistance system includes an electronic control unit, such as a hybrid control unit, for controlling the output power delivered to a traction motor such that the vehicle system can be at a first preselected speed and Second, one of the pre-selected speeds is operated in a parking assist mode in a forward direction or a reverse direction.

詳述根據本發明之停車輔助系統的特徵之示範實施例係將描述於下文。本文所述的實施例係應用於由其包括一個內燃機、牽引馬達與電池之二個或多個電源(動力源)所發動的一種車輛。然而,本發明係並未限制其應用且亦可應用到僅運用牽引馬達與電池之車輛,例如:電動車輛。 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Exemplary embodiments of the features of the parking assist system according to the present invention will be described below.

如上所述的該車輛10係藉由提供於其的一種停車輔助系統P而適以操作在一個停車輔助模式。 The vehicle 10 as described above is adapted to operate in a parking assist mode by a parking assist system P provided thereto.

參考圖2,其說明按照本發明的一個實施例之停車輔助系統P的示意代表圖。停車輔助系統P係包括電子控制單元50,其係裝配以和諸如儀表群52、牽引馬達53、電池60之種種其他構件為相通式連接,且為連接到包括點火開關51、油門位置感測器54、煞車開關55、停車開關56與類似者之複數個車輛感測器與車輛開關,藉以接收有關於車輛操作條件之種種輸入。特別而言,該電子控制單元50係經由控制器區域網路(CAN,controller area network)通訊而和上述構件、感測器與開關為相通。諸如電池60、與儀表群52之上述構件的一些者係可包括其本身的控制器。舉例來說,電池60係可具有一個電池控制模組(BCM,battery control module)或一個電池管理系統(BMS,battery management system),其傳送及接收往返該電池60與電子控制單元50的訊號。在本實施例中,該儀表群52係包括其用於和電子控制單元50相通之一個第一微控制器。再者,牽引馬達53係和一個或多個霍爾感測器為整合以供和電子控制單元50之相通。再者,電子控制單元50係運作連接到電池60與牽引馬達53。儘管電池60係供電給電子控 制單元50,從電池60所遞送到牽引馬達53的電力係由電子控制單元50所控制。 Referring to Figure 2, there is illustrated a schematic representation of a parking assist system P in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. The parking assist system P includes an electronic control unit 50 that is assembled to be connected to various components such as the instrument cluster 52, the traction motor 53, and the battery 60, and is connected to include an ignition switch 51 and a throttle position sensor. 54. The brake switch 55, the parking switch 56 and a plurality of similar vehicle sensors and vehicle switches are used to receive various inputs relating to vehicle operating conditions. In particular, the electronic control unit 50 communicates with the components, the sensors, and the switches via a controller area network (CAN). Some of the above-described components, such as battery 60 and meter cluster 52, may include their own controllers. For example, the battery 60 can have a battery control module (BCM) or a battery management system (BMS) that transmits and receives signals to and from the battery 60 and the electronic control unit 50. In the present embodiment, the instrument cluster 52 includes a first microcontroller for communicating with the electronic control unit 50. Furthermore, the traction motor 53 and one or more Hall sensors are integrated for communication with the electronic control unit 50. Furthermore, the electronic control unit 50 is operatively coupled to the battery 60 and the traction motor 53. Although the battery 60 is powered to the electronic control unit 50, the power delivered from the battery 60 to the traction motor 53 is controlled by the electronic control unit 50.

在本實施例中,儀表群52係包括一個第一微控制器,其為透過CAN通訊而相通式連接到具有一個第二微控制器之電子控制單元50。基於從該複數個車輛感測器/開關所接收的資訊,電子控制單元50係提供車輛資訊,其接著為由第一微控制器所處理,藉以顯示在儀表群52。儀表群52係將種種的車輛操作相關資訊提供給車輛操作者,例如:驅動模式操作、停車模式操作、電池充電狀態與類似者。在進行此舉動時,儀表群52係以一個示意圖或圖像表示來代表該車輛。該示意圖或圖像表示係對車輛操作者提供有關該車輛正在如何操作以及在該車輛中是否有任何故障之較佳的概念,且因此為比一種習用的類比或數位顯示裝置而更為適切且有用。 In the present embodiment, the instrument cluster 52 includes a first microcontroller that is connected in a phase-by-CAN communication to an electronic control unit 50 having a second microcontroller. Based on the information received from the plurality of vehicle sensors/switches, the electronic control unit 50 provides vehicle information, which is then processed by the first microcontroller for display on the cluster 52. The instrument cluster 52 provides various vehicle operation related information to the vehicle operator, for example, drive mode operation, parking mode operation, battery state of charge, and the like. In doing so, the cluster 52 represents the vehicle in a schematic or graphical representation. The schematic or image representation provides a better concept for the vehicle operator as to how the vehicle is operating and whether there are any faults in the vehicle, and is therefore more appropriate than a conventional analog or digital display device and it works.

舉例來說,在本實施例中,當該電子控制單元50係啟動一個停車輔助模式,其係通訊到儀表群52,且一種視覺文字之形式的一個視覺指示係提供在儀表群52,以通知該車輛操作者有關於在該停車輔助模式中的車輛之操作。甚者,當停車開關56係選擇,一個訊號係傳送到複數個危險燈57,且該複數個危險燈57係開始發光,對於其他的車輛/行人給予警告,該車輛將緩慢移動。 For example, in the present embodiment, when the electronic control unit 50 activates a parking assist mode, it communicates to the instrument cluster 52, and a visual indication in the form of a visual text is provided in the instrument cluster 52 to notify The vehicle operator has an operation regarding the vehicle in the parking assist mode. Moreover, when the parking switch 56 is selected, one signal is transmitted to a plurality of dangerous lamps 57, and the plurality of dangerous lamps 57 start to emit light, and the other vehicles/pedestrians are given a warning that the vehicle will move slowly.

根據本發明的一個實施例之停車輔助系統P的運作方法係參考圖3而詳盡闡述。尤其,圖3係標示在儀表群52之中的第一微控制器與電子控制單元50之操作步驟,其用於將該車輛操作在停車輔助模式中。一開始,要指出的是,在流程圖99之中的一些步驟係可用不同順序來實行, 包括同時在內。此外,在流程圖99所示的步驟係正在進行中,且無須結束在最後一個步驟。 The method of operating the parking assist system P in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention is described in detail with reference to FIG. In particular, Figure 3 illustrates the operational steps of the first microcontroller and electronic control unit 50, which are indicated in the cluster 52, for operating the vehicle in the parking assist mode. Initially, it is to be noted that some of the steps in flowchart 99 can be implemented in a different order, including at the same time. In addition, the steps shown in flowchart 99 are ongoing and need not end at the last step.

在方塊100,在其操作的第一個步驟中,電子控制單元50係確定該點火開關51是否在一個ON/OFF狀態。在當該點火開關為在ON狀態、且當車輛操作者切換停車開關為ON之時的一個條件,在儀表群52之中的第一微控制器係在方塊101而偵測該停車開關的ON狀態,且在方塊102而選擇停車輔助模式。特別而言,按照本發明的一個觀點,當停車開關係選擇,停車開關輸入係傳送到儀表群。停車模式訊號係亦傳送到複數個危險燈,造成該等危險燈之發光。之後,在方塊103,儀表群之第一微控制器係亦經由CAN通訊而和電子控制單元傳達該停車輔助模式被選擇。換言之,經由CAN通訊而傳達的是,車輛驅動模式係已經改變為停車輔助模式。在當停車輔助模式係並未藉由將停車開關切換為ON而被選擇之一個條件,該車輛係繼續操作在現有的驅動模式中。再者,當電子控制單元係偵測出該停車輔助模式被選擇,確定現有的車輛操作條件是否為適用於該車輛操作在停車輔助模式中。舉例來說,按照本發明的一個觀點,電子控制單元係檢查第一組的預定條件或第二組的預定條件是否為滿足,藉以致能在停車輔助模式中之車輛的操作。按照一個實施例,第一組的預定條件係設定在方塊104與105,而第二組的預定條件係設定在方塊107、108、與109。在藉由ECU之如上所述的第一組的預定條件或第二組的預定條件之偵測後,停車模式指示訊號係傳送到儀表群,藉此,該儀表群係在一個顯示面板中顯示“停車輔助ON”。 At block 100, in a first step of its operation, electronic control unit 50 determines if the ignition switch 51 is in an ON/OFF state. When the ignition switch is in the ON state and the vehicle operator switches the parking switch to ON, the first microcontroller in the cluster 52 is detected at block 101 to detect the ON of the parking switch. State, and at block 102, the parking assist mode is selected. In particular, in accordance with one aspect of the present invention, the parking switch input is transmitted to the instrument cluster when the parking relationship is selected. The parking mode signal is also transmitted to a plurality of dangerous lights, causing the light to be illuminated. Thereafter, at block 103, the first microcontroller of the instrument cluster also communicates with the electronic control unit via the CAN communication that the parking assist mode is selected. In other words, it is communicated via CAN communication that the vehicle drive mode has changed to the parking assist mode. The vehicle continues to operate in the existing drive mode when the parking assist mode is not selected by switching the parking switch to ON. Moreover, when the electronic control unit detects that the parking assist mode is selected, it is determined whether the existing vehicle operating condition is suitable for the vehicle operation in the parking assist mode. For example, in accordance with one aspect of the present invention, the electronic control unit checks whether the predetermined condition of the first group or the predetermined condition of the second group is satisfied, thereby enabling operation of the vehicle in the parking assist mode. According to one embodiment, the predetermined conditions of the first group are set at blocks 104 and 105, and the predetermined conditions for the second group are set at blocks 107, 108, and 109. After detecting the predetermined condition of the first group or the predetermined condition of the second group as described above by the ECU, the parking mode indication signal is transmitted to the instrument cluster, whereby the instrument cluster is displayed in a display panel "Parking assist ON".

在本實施例中,在方塊104,電子控制單元係檢查車輛速 度,該車輛速度是否為零或低於第一臨限速度。若該車輛速度為零或低於第一臨限速度,則該電子控制單元係起始停車輔助模式。換言之,該電子控制單元係確保的是,在致能該停車輔助模式之前,由車輛操作者之停車開關的選擇係有意。特別而言,在本實施例中,關於車輛速度的輸入係由配置在牽引馬達中的一個或多個霍爾感測器而提供到電子控制單元。在本實施例中,第一臨限速度係可為在8-10km/h的範圍中。 In the present embodiment, at block 104, the electronic control unit checks the vehicle speed whether the vehicle speed is zero or below the first threshold speed. If the vehicle speed is zero or lower than the first threshold speed, the electronic control unit initiates the parking assist mode. In other words, the electronic control unit ensures that the selection of the parking switch by the vehicle operator is intentional prior to enabling the parking assist mode. In particular, in the present embodiment, the input regarding the speed of the vehicle is provided to the electronic control unit by one or more Hall sensors disposed in the traction motor. In this embodiment, the first threshold speed may be in the range of 8-10 km/h.

再者,在方塊105,電子控制單元係檢查油門位置。若油門位置係打開,在方塊106,該電子控制單元係以在5-6km/h的範圍中之第一預先選擇速度而致能朝一個順向方向之停車輔助模式的操作。同時,一個訊號係亦傳送到儀表群以一種視覺文字的形式或背光色彩的形式...等等來顯示停車順序。 Again, at block 105, the electronic control unit checks the throttle position. If the throttle position is open, at block 106, the electronic control unit enables operation in the parking assist mode in a forward direction with a first preselected speed in the range of 5-6 km/h. At the same time, a signal system is also transmitted to the instrument cluster in the form of a visual text or a backlit color...etc.

然而,若油門係閉合,該電子控制單元係檢查在方塊107所設定的條件。在方塊107,電子控制單元係檢查車輛速度是否為零、油門位置是否閉合、且煞車輸入是否在OFF條件。若在方塊107所設定的條件係滿足,在方塊108,電子控制單元係檢查後輪的反轉。關於後輪的反轉之輸入係從配置在牽引馬達中的該一個或多個霍爾感測器而由電子控制單元所接收。在本實施例中,當一個預定的轉動角度(例如:90°)係在後輪所偵測,電子控制單元係致能該停車輔助模式為朝逆向方向。換言之,在致能該停車輔助模式為朝逆向方向之前,電子控制單元係檢查車輛操作者是否已經至少稍微朝逆向方向來推動該車輛而直到90°的轉動在後輪所獲得為止。再者,在方塊109,電子控制單元係亦同時檢查該車輛速度是否大於第二臨限速度,例如:大於2-3km/h。若車輛速度係不大於第二臨限速度,電 子控制單元係致能該停車輔助模式之操作以在3-4km/h的範圍中之第二預先選擇速度而朝一個逆向方向。同時,一個訊號係亦傳送到該儀表群而為以一種視覺文字的形式或以背光色彩的形式來顯示停車順序。然而,若車輛速度係大於第二臨限速度,電子控制單元係啟動電氣煞車。此係確保的是,當車輛操作者係試圖將該車輛停放在一個下坡,該車輛係歸因於在停車輔助模式所提供到牽引馬達的附加功率而不會開始減速。因此,當車輛速度係大於第二臨限速度,煞車之應用係作為當車輛操作者試圖將該車輛停放在一個下坡時的一個安全特徵。再者,當朝逆向方向之停車輔助模式係致能時,在方塊111,電子控制單元係亦檢查經供應到牽引馬達的電流是否超過一個臨限電流。若該控制單元係偵測出該供應到牽引馬達的電流超過臨限電流,則該控制單元係停止對於牽引馬達的電流/電力供應。此係特別適用在當馬達遇到較大的負載時;舉例來說,當車輛操作者係在沒有應用煞車的情況下而突然試圖用手來將車輛停止在一個下坡的狀況時,較大的負載係遭遇到。因此,為了防止車輛之加速,尤其是在一個下坡的狀況,電子控制單元係亦裝配以偵測大於臨限電流之經供應到馬達的電流/電力,使得該車輛係朝逆向方向而安全移動。 However, if the throttle system is closed, the electronic control unit checks the conditions set at block 107. At block 107, the electronic control unit checks if the vehicle speed is zero, if the throttle position is closed, and if the brake input is in an OFF condition. If the condition set at block 107 is satisfied, at block 108, the electronic control unit checks the reversal of the rear wheel. The input relating to the reversal of the rear wheel is received by the electronic control unit from the one or more Hall sensors disposed in the traction motor. In the present embodiment, when a predetermined rotation angle (for example, 90°) is detected by the rear wheel, the electronic control unit enables the parking assist mode to be in the reverse direction. In other words, before enabling the parking assist mode to be in the reverse direction, the electronic control unit checks whether the vehicle operator has pushed the vehicle at least slightly in the reverse direction until the 90° rotation is obtained at the rear wheel. Furthermore, at block 109, the electronic control unit also checks if the vehicle speed is greater than the second threshold speed, for example: greater than 2-3 km/h. If the vehicle speed is not greater than the second threshold speed, the electronic control unit enables operation of the parking assist mode to be in a reverse direction at a second preselected speed in the range of 3-4 km/h. At the same time, a signal system is also transmitted to the instrument cluster to display the parking sequence in the form of a visual text or in the form of a backlit color. However, if the vehicle speed is greater than the second threshold speed, the electronic control unit activates the electric brake. This ensures that when the vehicle operator attempts to park the vehicle on a downhill slope, the vehicle will not begin to decelerate due to the additional power provided to the traction motor in the parking assist mode. Thus, when the vehicle speed is greater than the second threshold speed, the brake application is a safety feature when the vehicle operator attempts to park the vehicle on a downhill slope. Furthermore, when the parking assist mode in the reverse direction is enabled, at block 111, the electronic control unit also checks if the current supplied to the traction motor exceeds a threshold current. If the control unit detects that the current supplied to the traction motor exceeds the threshold current, the control unit stops the current/power supply to the traction motor. This is especially useful when the motor encounters a large load; for example, when the vehicle operator suddenly tries to stop the vehicle on a downhill condition without applying a brake, the larger The load is encountered. Therefore, in order to prevent acceleration of the vehicle, especially in a downhill condition, the electronic control unit is also equipped to detect current/electric power supplied to the motor that is greater than the threshold current, so that the vehicle moves safely in the reverse direction. .

本發明係因此提出一種用於輔助該兩輪車輛在停車輔助模式而朝一個順向方向或逆向方向的移動之方法。由於本發明係有助於使得當停車輔助模式為致能時而遞送到牽引馬達的功率為最佳化,車輛操作者係可發現在停車期間為便於掌控及操縱該車輛。甚者,由於至少某個最小量的動力係供應到牽引馬達,車輛操作者係不必在停車期間而費力推車。 The present invention therefore proposes a method for assisting the movement of the two-wheeled vehicle in a forward or reverse direction in the parking assist mode. Since the present invention helps to optimize the power delivered to the traction motor when the parking assist mode is enabled, the vehicle operator can find that it is convenient to control and operate the vehicle during parking. Moreover, since at least some minimum amount of powertrain is supplied to the traction motor, the vehicle operator does not have to labor the cart during parking.
