Balance vehicle and a control method for the same

Abstract

This disclosure discloses a balance vehicle, comprising: a wheel, a support frame, a frame, a shock suspension component, foot pegs, a control rod and a handle grip; the support frame is fixed to an axle of the wheel; the frame is connected with the support frame in a slide way through a sliding block fixed to the support frame; the shock suspension component is disposed between the frame and the support frame, and configured to buffer the relative movement between the frame and the support frame; the foot pegs are fixed on the frame; the control rod can move forward and backward in the driving direction, and is configured that: when a driver pushes the control rod forward in the driving direction, the balance vehicle is accelerated; when the drive pulls the control rod backward in the driving direction, the balance vehicle is decelerated or draws back.

         2 . The balance vehicle of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the frame and the support frame are constructed into an inverted U-shape, and   the sliding block is provided at the each side of the support frame in the width direction of the balance vehicle, the frame is provided with a stripe guide groove at each side in the width direction of the vehicle, such that the guiding block can slide in the guide groove at each side and the frame is able to slide with respect to the support frame.   
     
     
         3 . The balance vehicle of  claim 2 , wherein:
 one end of the shock suspension component is fixed to a top lower surface of the inverted U shape frame, another end of the shock suspension component abuts on an upper surface of the inverted U shape support frame, such that under the action of the shock suspension component, the relative movement between the top of the inverted U shape support frame and the top of the inverted U shape support frame is buffered.   
     
     
         4 . The balance vehicle of  claim 3 , wherein:
 the foot pegs can be folded, and be configured that: when folded, the foot pegs abut the two side surfaces of the frame, such that, as viewed in the front view, the surface of each foot peg abuts the side surface of the frame.   
     
     
         5 . The balance vehicle of  claim 4 , wherein:
 the control rod is provided with a cavity therein, the cavity is provided with charging battery.   
     
     
         6 . The balance vehicle of  claim 5 , wherein:
 the support frame is made of SPPC.   
     
     
         7 . The balance vehicle of  claim 6 , wherein:
 the frame and the control rod are made of carbon fiber.   
     
     
         8 . The balance vehicle of  claim 7 , wherein:
 the balance vehicle further comprises at least a fender, the fender is fixed to the frame.   
     
     
         9 . The balance vehicle of  claim 8 , wherein:
 the control rod is provided with a display device on the top, the display device is configured to show the status of the balance vehicle including location, speed, connection state and electric quantity.   
     
     
         10 . The balance vehicle of  claim 9 , wherein:
 the control rod is provided with a front light on the upper front part and a rear light on the lower rear part.   
     
     
         11 . The balance vehicle of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the balance vehicle further comprises a control unit, which comprises:   a controller, a GPS module,   a speed sensor configured to detect a speed of the balance vehicle;   a balance sensor configured to detect whether the balance vehicle is in balance; and   a communication module configured to communicate with outer smart terminal;   wherein, the speed sensor, the balance sensor, the GPS module, and the communication module are electrically connected with the controller.   
     
     
         12 . A control method for the balance vehicle of  claim 11 , comprising the steps:
 S 100 , determining whether the balance vehicle is in use, if Yes, go to S 101 , if Not, go to S 105 ;   S 101 , pushing a control rod forward to accelerate;   S 102 , pulling the control rod backward to decelerate or go backward;   S 103 , applying more force on a left foot peg to incline the wheel to the left, so as to make the balance vehicle turn left;   S 104 , applying more force on a right foot peg to incline the wheel to the right, so as to make the balance vehicle turn right;   S 105 , detecting whether the balance vehicle is in balance by a balance sensor, if Yes, keeping balance, if Not, controlling the balance vehicle to balance by a controller.   
     
     
         13 . A control method for the balance vehicle of  claim 11 , comprising the steps:
 S 200 , connecting with a smart terminal through a communication module;   S 201 , determining whether the balance vehicle is in use, if Yes, go to S 202 , if Not, go to S 204 ;   S 202 , controlling the balance vehicle to go forward, to backward or slow down by the smart terminal;   S 203 , applying more force on a left foot peg to incline the wheel to the left, so as to make the balance vehicle turn left; or applying more force on a right foot peg to incline the wheel to the right, so as to make the balance vehicle turn right;   S 204 , detecting whether the balance vehicle is in balance through a balance sensor, if Yes, keeping balance, if Not, controlling the balance vehicle to balance by a controller.
