本発明は、電動スク−タの駆動制御装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a drive control device for an electric scooter.

従来の電動スクータの駆動制御装置は、例えば、図6に示すようなものがある。図6は従来の電動スクータの駆動制御装置を示すブロック図である。
図6において、 31はアクセル、32は制御装置、33はモータ駆動回路、34は電源、35はモータである。このような構成において、該電動スクータの駆動制御装置は、足下やハンドル部等に設置されたアクセル31の操作量が制御装置32に入力され、制御装置32がモータ駆動回路33をコントロールすることにより電源34からモータ35に供給される電力を調節するようになっている。

A conventional drive control device for an electric scooter is, for example, as shown in FIG. FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing a conventional drive control device for an electric scooter.
In FIG. 6, 31 is an accelerator, 32 is a control device, 33 is a motor drive circuit, 34 is a power source, and 35 is a motor. In such a configuration, the drive control device for the electric scooter is configured such that the operation amount of the accelerator 31 installed on the foot or the handle portion is input to the control device 32, and the control device 32 controls the motor drive circuit 33. The power supplied from the power supply 34 to the motor 35 is adjusted.
Also, as a kind of this type of electric scooter, there has been proposed a drive control device for a powered kickboard that uses a kickboard and can be used for both human power and electric power, and can be safely used and electric power can be used efficiently. Some of the devices are started by the driver pushing the kick board by human power first, and then the control device is activated to supply power to the motor (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
In addition, there is also an apparatus in which the operation of the inverted pendulum is applied to an electric scooter so as to return the driver's inclination to the original state, that is, to return to a vertical direction balanced with so-called gravity (for example, see Patent Document 2). ).
As described above, the conventional electric scooter drive control device detects the amount of operation of the accelerator to control the output of the scooter, or applies the operation of the inverted pendulum to the electric scooter to bring the upright state. I want to keep it.

しかしながら、従来の電動スクータの駆動制御装置はアクセルの操作量を検出してスクータの出力を制御するものであるが、運転者の前後および左右方向の傾斜を検出する仕組みを持たないので、運転者は加減速時における慣性力および旋回時における遠心力に対し、体を傾斜させてバランスをとらなければ転倒してしまうという問題があった。
また、四輪車などのように転倒はしにくいが、運転者がスク−タの傾斜を操作できない場合は、加減速時の慣性力を前後方向に、旋回時の遠心力を左右方向に受けるので、乗り心地が悪いというような問題もあった。
また、倒立振子の動作を電動スク−タに適用した場合には、該装置は運転者を常に直立した状態に保つように制御を行うため、運転者は倒立振子により体の傾きを戻すような慣性力を常に受けていた。また、該制御手段は、運転者の傾斜に基づいて制御が行われるものであって、運転者の意思に基づいて行われるものではないため、かえって乗り心地を悪化させていた。
また、このような制御では運転者、積載物の重量や重心位置の違いにより操作量と出力されるスクータの加減速力との関係が変化してしまい、運転者が意図したのと異なる動作をしてしまうという問題があった。
本発明は上記課題を解決するためになされたものであり、運転者、積載物の重量や重心位置の違いにより操作量とスクータの加速度および旋回半径の関係が変化することなく操作することができ、乗り心地の悪さを解消することができる該電動スクータの駆動制御装置を提供することを目的とする。
However, the conventional drive control device for an electric scooter controls the output of the scooter by detecting the operation amount of the accelerator, but does not have a mechanism for detecting the forward / backward and left / right inclination of the driver. There is a problem that the body falls over if it is not balanced by tilting the body against the inertial force during acceleration / deceleration and the centrifugal force during turning.
In addition, when the driver cannot operate the scooter tilt, such as a four-wheeled vehicle, the inertial force during acceleration / deceleration is received in the front-rear direction and the centrifugal force during turning is received in the left-right direction. So there was also a problem that the ride was uncomfortable.
In addition, when the operation of the inverted pendulum is applied to an electric scooter, the device controls the driver so that the driver is always kept upright. Therefore, the driver returns the body inclination by the inverted pendulum. I was always subject to inertia. Further, since the control means is controlled based on the driver's inclination and not based on the driver's intention, the ride comfort is deteriorated.
In addition, in such control, the relationship between the operation amount and the acceleration / deceleration force of the output scooter changes depending on the driver, the weight of the load and the position of the center of gravity, and the driver operates differently than intended. There was a problem that.
The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and can be operated without changing the relationship between the operation amount, the acceleration of the scooter, and the turning radius due to the difference in the weight of the driver and the load and the position of the center of gravity. Another object of the present invention is to provide a drive control device for the electric scooter that can eliminate the poor ride comfort.

次に、本実施例の動作について説明する。
図4および図5はそれぞれ本実施例による電動スク−タの本体に運転者が乗車する場合の動作を説明するための側面図と正面図である。運転者は車体11に立位で乗車する。運転者は自身の胴体と頭部を結ぶ線上に傾斜した体の傾斜方向と平行になるようにハンドル9を保持するものとする。これによりハンドルの傾斜方向は運転者の体の傾斜方向とみなすことができる。前後方向角度センサ12と左右方向角度センサ13は、車体11に垂直な方向からのハンドルの前後および左右方向の角度をそれぞれ検出する。本実施例では、前後方向角度センサ12と左右方向角度センサ13が2軸傾斜センサ1の役割を果たす。検出された前後左右の傾斜角と、速度センサ付きのモータ7より得られた速度フィードバック値を元に、指令生成装置2が運転者にかかる重力と加減速時の慣性力の合力の向き、ならびに旋回時時の遠心力と重力との合力の向きがそれぞれ運転者の体の傾斜方向と等しくなるような加速度指令aと旋回半径指令rとを生成する。
指令生成装置2が生成する加速度指令aは、重力加速度をg、2軸傾斜センサにより検出した運転者の前後方向傾斜角度をθとして、a=g×tanθまたはその近似式であるa=g×θにより決定する。また、旋回半径指令rは、2軸傾斜センサ1により検出した運転者の左右方向傾斜角度をφ、速度センサにより検出したスク−タの走行速度をvとして、r=v/(g×tanφ)またはその近似式であるr=v/(g×φ)により決定する。
制御装置3は、指令生成装置2が生成した加減速指令aと旋回半径指令rをモータへの回転角加速度指令に換算し、モータ駆動回路6を介して2つの後車輪10Bを駆動する。加減速指令と旋回半径指令が与えられたとき2つの後車輪10Bへの回転角加速度指令は、左旋回のとき(1)式および(2)式により与えられ、右旋回のとき(3)式および(4)式により与えられる。
Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.
FIGS. 4 and 5 are a side view and a front view, respectively, for explaining the operation when the driver gets on the main body of the electric scooter according to the present embodiment. The driver gets on the vehicle body 11 in a standing position. It is assumed that the driver holds the handle 9 so as to be parallel to the direction of inclination of the body inclined on the line connecting his / her body and head. Thereby, the inclination direction of the steering wheel can be regarded as the inclination direction of the driver's body. The front-rear direction angle sensor 12 and the left-right direction angle sensor 13 respectively detect the front-rear and left-right angles of the handle from the direction perpendicular to the vehicle body 11. In this embodiment, the front-rear direction angle sensor 12 and the left-right direction angle sensor 13 serve as the biaxial tilt sensor 1. Based on the detected forward / backward and left / right tilt angles and the speed feedback value obtained from the motor 7 with the speed sensor, the direction of the resultant force of the gravity applied to the driver by the command generator 2 and the inertial force during acceleration / deceleration, and An acceleration command a and a turning radius command r are generated so that the direction of the resultant force of the centrifugal force and the gravity during turning is equal to the inclination direction of the driver's body.
The acceleration command a generated by the command generation device 2 is a = g × tan θ or an approximate expression a = g × tan ×, where g is the gravitational acceleration, and θ is the forward / backward tilt angle of the driver detected by the biaxial tilt sensor. Determined by θ. The turning radius command r is r = v 2 / (g × tan φ, where φ is the driver's left-right direction tilt angle detected by the biaxial tilt sensor 1, and v is the scooter travel speed detected by the speed sensor. ) Or its approximate expression r = v 2 / (g × φ).
The control device 3 converts the acceleration / deceleration command a and the turning radius command r generated by the command generation device 2 into a rotational angular acceleration command to the motor, and drives the two rear wheels 10B via the motor drive circuit 6. When an acceleration / deceleration command and a turning radius command are given, rotational angular acceleration commands to the two rear wheels 10B are given by equations (1) and (2) when turning left, and when turning right (3) And given by equation (4).

=(1−w/2r)/R×a ・・・・・(1)式
=(1+w/2r)/R×a ・・・・・(2)式
=(1+w/2r)/R×a ・・・・・(3)式
=(1−w/2r)/R×a ・・・・・(4)式
なお、ここで、aは加速度指令、rは旋回半径指令、aは左後車輪への回転角加速度指令、aは右後車輪への回転角加速度指令、wは2つの後車輪の地面との接地点間の距離、Rは後車輪半径を示している。
a 1 = (1−w / 2r) / R × a (1)
a r = (1 + w / 2r) / R × a (2)
a 1 = (1 + w / 2r) / R × a (3)
a r = (1−w / 2r) / R × a (4) where a is an acceleration command, r is a turning radius command, and a 1 is a rotational angular acceleration to the left rear wheel. Command, ar is a rotational angular acceleration command to the right rear wheel, w is a distance between the ground points of the two rear wheels, and R is a rear wheel radius.

このスク−タは、運転者が体を前に傾けることで前進加速し、目標の速度に達したら運転者が体の傾斜を鉛直に戻すことにより、スク−タは一定の速度で走行する。運転者が体を右に傾けることでスク−タは右旋回し、体を左に傾けることでスク−タは左旋回し、また、体を後方に傾けることにより減速することができる。運転者の体の傾斜を入力とし、加減速時慣性力と旋回時遠心力と重力との合力の向きを運転者の体の傾きに一致させているため、運転者はスク−タの運転操作と加減速時および旋回時のバランス維持を同時に行うことができ、乗り心地もよい。   This scooter is accelerated forward by the driver tilting his / her body forward, and when the target speed is reached, the driver returns the tilt of the body to vertical so that the scooter runs at a constant speed. The scooter can turn to the right when the driver tilts the body to the right, the scooter can turn to the left by tilting the body to the left, and can be decelerated by tilting the body backward. Since the driver's body inclination is input, and the direction of the resultant force of acceleration / deceleration inertia force, turning centrifugal force and gravity matches the driver's body inclination, the driver operates the scooter. The balance can be maintained at the same time during acceleration / deceleration and turning, and the ride comfort is also good.

運転者の体の傾斜を検出してそれに応じて加減速や旋回半径を制御することによって運転者の乗り心地を向上することができ、操作方法を容易にすることができるので、移動手段あるいは荷物運搬手段としてのスク−タやスポーツ用あるいは玩具としてのスク−タの駆動制御という用途にも適用できる。   By detecting the inclination of the driver's body and controlling the acceleration / deceleration and turning radius accordingly, the ride comfort of the driver can be improved and the operation method can be facilitated. The present invention can also be applied to the use of a scooter as a transporting means and a drive control of a scooter for sports or as a toy.
