Here, the control device 10 is provided to the handle H. However, the control device 10 is not limited to this position. Additionally, in the illustrated embodiment, the control device 10 is a bicycle computer having a display 24 and a plurality of user-operable input devices 26 (eg, buttons shown).

亦如圖2中所見，桿12安裝至前懸架16之轉向柱轉向管16a且支撐手把H。如上文所提及，電致動器14提供於桿12上。電致動器14經組態以由控制裝置10控制以調整桿12之操作狀態以改變手把相對於車身VB之高度。在此，電致動器14包含具有一內建減速器之一對可逆電動馬達36及用於將可逆電動馬達36之旋轉輸出轉換成線性運動之一對滑動螺釘38。儘管繪示實施例之電致動器14包含兩個可逆電動馬達36及兩個滑動螺釘38，但應自本發明明白，電致動器14不受限於此配置。例如，電致動器14可僅具有一個可逆電動馬達及一個滑動螺釘或其他類型之機構(諸如一或多個線性螺線管致動器)，其取決於桿12之建構。無論何種情況，桿12之電致動器14可使用控制裝置10之使用者可操作輸入裝置26及/或觸控面板28來手動控制，或由控制裝置10根據人力交通工具A之一或多個參數(例如交通工具運行或騎乘狀況)來自動控制。As also seen in FIG. 2 , the rod 12 is mounted to the steering column steering tube 16a of the front suspension 16 and supports the handlebar H. As mentioned above, the electric actuator 14 is provided on the rod 12 . The electric actuator 14 is configured to be controlled by the control device 10 to adjust the operating state of the lever 12 to change the height of the handlebar relative to the vehicle body VB. Here, the electric actuator 14 includes a pair of reversible electric motors 36 with a built-in speed reducer and a pair of sliding screws 38 for converting the rotational output of the reversible electric motors 36 into linear motion. Although the electric actuator 14 of the illustrated embodiment includes two reversible electric motors 36 and two sliding screws 38, it should be understood from the present disclosure that the electric actuator 14 is not limited to this configuration. For example, electrical actuator 14 may have only one reversible electric motor and one sliding screw or other type of mechanism (such as one or more linear solenoid actuators), depending on the construction of rod 12 . In either case, the electrical actuator 14 of the lever 12 may be manually controlled using the user operable input device 26 and/or the touch panel 28 of the control device 10, or by the control device 10 according to one of the human vehicle A or Various parameters such as vehicle operation or riding conditions are automatically controlled.

現參考圖3至圖6，桿12包含一第一耦合部分40、一第二耦合部分42及一可移動部分44。電動致動器14經組態以啟動可移動部分44。第一耦合部分40經組態以耦合至轉向柱16a。在其中人力交通工具A係一自行車之情況中，第一耦合部分40構成一轉向管安裝座。第二耦合部分42經組態以耦合至手把H。在其中人力交通工具A係一自行車之情況中，第二耦合部分42構成一手把安裝座。依此方式，桿12剛性安裝至前懸架16之轉向柱16a且支撐手把H以使前懸架16及前輪FW相對於車身VB轉動。可移動部分44將第二耦合部分42耦合至第一耦合部分40。依此方式，第二耦合部分42可相對於第一耦合部分40在一第一位置(圖4)與一第二位置(圖5)之間移動。如圖4及圖5中所見，第二位置不同於第一位置。可移動部分44亦可稱為一桿體。然而，桿12不受限於繪示實施例之結構。桿12可具有用於調整手把H之高度之各種組態。例如，桿12可經建構以省略耦合部分之一或兩者。特定言之，例如，桿12及手把H可形成為一整體單元以消除第二耦合部分42。此外，例如，桿12可經建構以省略可移動部分。特定言之，例如，第一耦合部分40及第二耦合部分42可經不可移動地連接，且一高度調整部件可提供於第一耦合部分40與轉向柱16a之間。當然，人力交通工具領域之熟習技術者應明白，其他組態可用於調整手把之高度。Referring now to FIGS. 3-6 , the rod 12 includes a first coupling portion 40 , a second coupling portion 42 and a movable portion 44 . The electric actuator 14 is configured to actuate the movable portion 44 . The first coupling portion 40 is configured to couple to the steering column 16a. In the case where the human-powered vehicle A is a bicycle, the first coupling portion 40 constitutes a steering tube mount. The second coupling portion 42 is configured to couple to the handle H. In the case where the human-powered vehicle A is a bicycle, the second coupling portion 42 constitutes a handlebar mount. In this way, the rod 12 is rigidly mounted to the steering column 16a of the front suspension 16 and supports the handlebar H to rotate the front suspension 16 and the front wheels FW relative to the vehicle body VB. The movable portion 44 couples the second coupling portion 42 to the first coupling portion 40 . In this manner, the second coupling portion 42 is movable relative to the first coupling portion 40 between a first position (FIG. 4) and a second position (FIG. 5). As seen in Figures 4 and 5, the second position is different from the first position. The movable portion 44 may also be referred to as a rod. However, the rod 12 is not limited to the structure of the illustrated embodiment. The lever 12 can have various configurations for adjusting the height of the handle H. For example, rod 12 may be constructed to omit one or both of the coupling portions. In particular, for example, the lever 12 and the handle H may be formed as an integral unit to eliminate the second coupling portion 42 . Also, for example, the rod 12 may be constructed to omit movable portions. Specifically, for example, the first coupling portion 40 and the second coupling portion 42 may be immovably connected, and a height adjustment member may be provided between the first coupling portion 40 and the steering column 16a. Of course, those skilled in the art of human transportation should understand that other configurations may be used to adjust the height of the handlebars.

無論何種情況，現將進一步詳細討論繪示實施例。第一耦合部分40可移動地耦合至可移動部分44之一第一端。第一耦合部分40係具有一對夾鉗46及一對螺栓48之一管夾。在此，夾鉗46一體地形成為單件，但可在一端處可樞轉地連接在一起。夾鉗46之各者具有接觸轉向柱16a之一對應彎曲外表面之彎曲內表面46a。隨著螺栓48擰緊，螺栓48將夾鉗46之自由端擠壓在一起以緊緊夾持轉向柱16a。In any event, the illustrated embodiments will now be discussed in further detail. The first coupling portion 40 is movably coupled to a first end of the movable portion 44 . The first coupling portion 40 is a pipe clamp with a pair of clamps 46 and a pair of bolts 48 . Here, the clamps 46 are integrally formed as a single piece, but may be pivotally connected together at one end. Each of the clamps 46 has a curved inner surface 46a that contacts a corresponding curved outer surface of the steering column 16a. As the bolts 48 are tightened, the bolts 48 squeeze the free ends of the clamps 46 together to tightly clamp the steering column 16a.

第二耦合部分42可移動地耦合於可移動部分44之一第二端處。第二耦合部分42係具有一第一夾部件50、一第二夾部件52及四個螺栓54之一管夾。第一夾部件50可移動地耦合至可移動部分44，如下文將討論。第二夾部件52由螺栓54附接至第一夾部件50。第一夾部件50具有接觸手把H之一對應彎曲外表面之彎曲內表面50a。第二夾部件52具有接觸手把H之一對應彎曲外表面之彎曲內表面52a。隨著螺栓54擰緊，螺栓54將手把H夾緊於第一夾部件50與第二夾部件52之間。The second coupling portion 42 is movably coupled at a second end of the movable portion 44 . The second coupling portion 42 is a pipe clamp with a first clamp member 50 , a second clamp member 52 and four bolts 54 . The first clip member 50 is movably coupled to the movable portion 44, as will be discussed below. The second clip member 52 is attached to the first clip member 50 by bolts 54 . The first clip member 50 has a curved inner surface 50a that contacts a corresponding curved outer surface of the handle H. The second clip member 52 has a curved inner surface 52a that contacts a corresponding curved outer surface of the handle H. As the bolts 54 are tightened, the bolts 54 clamp the handle H between the first clamp member 50 and the second clamp member 52 .

如上文所提及，可移動部分44使第一耦合部分40與第二耦合部分42互連，使得可回應於可操作地耦合至電致動器14之控制裝置10之操作而改變手把H相對於車身VB之位置。可移動部分44基本上經組態以在第一位置(其可(例如)對應於一高位置)與一第二位置(其可(例如)對應於一低位置)之間移動。換言之，在繪示實施例中，定位於第二位置中之第二耦合部分42低於定位於第一位置中之第二耦合部分42。特定言之，電致動器14經組態以將可移動部分44選擇性定位於第一位置與第二位置之間。在此，電致動器14經組態以將可移動部分44選擇性定位於一第三位置(一第三操作狀態)中。第三位置配置於第一位置與第二位置之間。換言之，在此，可移動部分44經組態以藉由控制裝置10啟動電致動器14來自動移動於三個不同位置之間以在相對於車身VB之三個不同高度處選擇性支撐手把H。當然，應自本發明明白，控制裝置可經組使得可移動部分44在自動控制期間僅具有兩個預設位置或在自動控制期間具有三個或更多個預設位置。就電致動器14之手動操作而言，可移動部分44具有無數個位置。預設位置較佳地係使用者可調的，使得一使用者可設定預設位置之各者以實現手把H之所要高度。As mentioned above, the movable portion 44 interconnects the first coupling portion 40 and the second coupling portion 42 such that the handle H can be changed in response to operation of the control device 10 operatively coupled to the electric actuator 14 The position relative to the body VB. The movable portion 44 is substantially configured to move between a first position (which may, for example, correspond to a high position) and a second position (which may, for example, correspond to a low position). In other words, in the illustrated embodiment, the second coupling portion 42 positioned in the second position is lower than the second coupling portion 42 positioned in the first position. In particular, the electrical actuator 14 is configured to selectively position the movable portion 44 between the first position and the second position. Here, the electrical actuator 14 is configured to selectively position the movable portion 44 in a third position (a third operating state). The third position is disposed between the first position and the second position. In other words, here, the movable portion 44 is configured to automatically move between three different positions by actuation of the electric actuator 14 by the control device 10 to selectively support the hand at three different heights relative to the vehicle body VB put H. Of course, it should be understood from the present invention that the control means may be arranged such that the movable portion 44 has only two preset positions during automatic control or three or more preset positions during automatic control. For manual operation of the electric actuator 14, the movable portion 44 has an infinite number of positions. The preset positions are preferably user adjustable so that a user can set each of the preset positions to achieve a desired height of the handle H.

取決於交通工具運行或騎乘狀況，騎乘者通常期望與桿12之桿位置相關之不同手把位置。因此，期望能夠針對不同交通工具運行或騎乘狀況設定不同手把位置。控制裝置10基於交通工具運行或騎乘狀況之選定者來自動啟動電致動器14。在此，在繪示實施例中，可移動部分44之第一位置係用於提供一高手把設定之最高桿位置。可移動部分44之第二位置係用於提供一低手把設定之最低桿位置。可移動部分44之第三位置係用於提供一正常或中間手把設定之一中間桿位置。Depending on vehicle operating or riding conditions, the rider typically desires different handlebar positions relative to the stem position of the stem 12 . Therefore, it is desirable to be able to set different handlebar positions for different vehicle operating or riding conditions. The control device 10 automatically activates the electric actuator 14 based on a selection of vehicle operating or riding conditions. Here, in the illustrated embodiment, the first position of the movable portion 44 is used to provide the highest lever position for a master handlebar setting. The second position of the movable portion 44 is used to provide the lowest lever position for a low handlebar setting. The third position of the movable portion 44 is used to provide a normal or intermediate handlebar setting, an intermediate lever position.

在此，可移動部分44包含使第一耦合部分40與第二耦合部分42互連之一連桿組60。例如，在繪示實施例中，連桿組60包含一第一連桿62及一第二連桿64。第一連桿62具有可樞轉地耦合至第一耦合部分40之一第一端及可樞轉地耦合至第二耦合部分42之一第二端。類似地，第二連桿64具有可樞轉地耦合至第一耦合部分40之一第一端及可樞轉地耦合至第二耦合部分42之一第二端。依此方式，第一耦合部分40、第二耦合部分42及連桿組60形成四連桿組。Here, the movable part 44 includes a link set 60 interconnecting the first coupling part 40 and the second coupling part 42 . For example, in the illustrated embodiment, the link set 60 includes a first link 62 and a second link 64 . The first link 62 has a first end pivotally coupled to the first coupling portion 40 and a second end pivotally coupled to the second coupling portion 42 . Similarly, the second link 64 has a first end pivotally coupled to the first coupling portion 40 and a second end pivotally coupled to the second coupling portion 42 . In this manner, the first coupling portion 40, the second coupling portion 42 and the linkage group 60 form a four-bar linkage.

在圖8之桿操作程序中，電控制器72經組態以根據一懸架(例如前懸架16及/或後懸架18)之操作狀態來控制電致動器14。前懸架16及後懸架18之至少一者之操作狀態可為一懸架行程長度、一彈簧預載量、一阻尼率及一閉鎖狀態。在此，在圖8之桿控制程序中，電控制器72使用至少一懸架(例如前懸架16及/或後懸架18)之一剛度狀態來判定桿12之控制及調整手把H之高度。In the lever operation procedure of FIG. 8, the electrical controller 72 is configured to control the electrical actuator 14 according to the operating state of a suspension (eg, the front suspension 16 and/or the rear suspension 18). The operating state of at least one of the front suspension 16 and the rear suspension 18 may be a suspension travel length, a spring preload, a damping rate, and a locked state. Here, in the lever control routine of FIG. 8 , the electric controller 72 uses a stiffness state of at least one suspension (eg, the front suspension 16 and/or the rear suspension 18 ) to determine the control of the lever 12 and adjust the height of the handle H.

在圖8之桿控制程序中，懸架(例如前懸架16及/或後懸架18)之操作狀態包含一第一剛度狀態及一第二剛度狀態。在此，第二剛度狀態比第一剛度狀態剛性。換言之，在此，第一剛度狀態一般可被視為比第二剛度狀態軟。另一方面，在此，第二剛度狀態一般可被認為比第一剛度狀態硬。就一懸架具有用於在一閉鎖狀態與一打開狀態之間切換之一閉鎖特徵而言，第一剛度狀態對應於打開狀態且第二剛度狀態對應於閉鎖狀態。就一懸架具有用於將一彈簧負載改變於一低彈簧負載與一高彈簧負載之間的一彈簧負載調整而言，第一剛度狀態對應於低彈簧負載且第二剛度狀態對應於高彈簧負載。In the lever control routine of FIG. 8, the operating states of the suspension (eg, the front suspension 16 and/or the rear suspension 18) include a first stiffness state and a second stiffness state. Here, the second stiffness state is more rigid than the first stiffness state. In other words, here, the first stiffness state can generally be regarded as being softer than the second stiffness state. On the other hand, here, the second stiffness state may generally be considered stiffer than the first stiffness state. To the extent that a suspension has a latching feature for switching between a latched state and an open state, the first stiffness state corresponds to the open state and the second stiffness state corresponds to the latched state. For a suspension having a spring load adjustment for changing a spring load between a low spring load and a high spring load, the first stiffness state corresponds to the low spring load and the second stiffness state corresponds to the high spring load .

在圖8之桿控制程序中，電控制器72經組態以依操作狀態、前進速度、踏頻及輸入功率之順序優先控制電致動器14。因此，電控制器72自桿位置感測器12A、(若干)前懸架操作狀態感測器16C、(若干)後懸架操作狀態感測器18C、前進速度感測器74、踏頻感測器76及功率計78週期性接收偵測結果。在此，人力交通工具A具有前懸架16及後懸架18。然而，一些人力交通工具(例如自行車)僅具有一前懸架，而其他人力交通工具(例如自行車)僅具有一後懸架。圖8之桿控制程序可與僅具有一前懸架之人力交通工具、僅具有一後懸架之人力交通工具及僅具有一前懸架及一後懸架兩者之人力交通工具一起使用。針對具有一前懸架及一後懸架兩者之人力交通工具，前懸架及後懸架之一或兩者之操作(剛度)狀態可用作控制桿12之位置之一基礎。In the lever control program of FIG. 8, the electric controller 72 is configured to preferentially control the electric actuator 14 in the order of operating state, forward speed, cadence, and input power. Accordingly, the electrical controller 72 consists of the lever position sensor 12A, the front suspension operating state sensor(s) 16C, the rear suspension operating state sensor(s) 18C, the forward speed sensor 74, the cadence sensor 76 and power meter 78 periodically receive detection results. Here, the human-powered vehicle A has a front suspension 16 and a rear suspension 18 . However, some human-powered vehicles (eg, bicycles) have only a front suspension, while other human-powered vehicles (eg, bicycles) only have a rear suspension. The lever control program of FIG. 8 can be used with human-powered vehicles having only one front suspension, human-powered vehicles having only one rear suspension, and human-powered vehicles having only both a front suspension and a rear suspension. For human-powered vehicles having both a front suspension and a rear suspension, the operating (stiffness) state of one or both of the front and rear suspensions can be used as a basis for the position of the control lever 12 .

在步驟S10中，電控制器72基於關於前懸架16及後懸架18之至少一者之操作狀態之來自操作狀態感測器16C及18C之一或多者之一偵測結果來判定前懸架16及後懸架18之至少一者之操作(剛度)狀態。在此，電控制器72判定前懸架16及後懸架18之至少一者是設定為第一剛度狀態還是第二剛度狀態。第一剛度狀態及第二剛度狀態可基於(若干)懸架之一預設狀況(諸如鎖閉及打開)，或可基於一計算值高於或低於一預定值。無論何種情況，若電控制器72判定第一剛度狀態存在，則電控制器72進行至步驟S11。然而，若電控制器72判定第二剛度狀態存在，則電控制器72進行至步驟S15。In step S10 , the electrical controller 72 determines the front suspension 16 based on a detection result from one or more of the operating state sensors 16C and 18C regarding the operating state of at least one of the front suspension 16 and the rear suspension 18 and the operational (stiffness) state of at least one of the rear suspensions 18 . Here, the electric controller 72 determines whether at least one of the front suspension 16 and the rear suspension 18 is set to the first stiffness state or the second stiffness state. The first stiffness state and the second stiffness state may be based on a predetermined condition of the suspension(s), such as locked and open, or may be based on a calculated value above or below a predetermined value. In any case, if the electrical controller 72 determines that the first stiffness state exists, the electrical controller 72 proceeds to step S11. However, if the electrical controller 72 determines that the second stiffness state exists, the electrical controller 72 proceeds to step S15.

在步驟S11中，電控制器72基於前進速度感測器74之一偵測結果來判定人力交通工具A之前進速度是否小於或等於一預定速度值。預定速度值較佳地可由使用者經由控制裝置10之使用者可操作輸入裝置26 (例如所展示之按鈕)或控制裝置10之觸控面板28來客製化。電控制器72可具有預存於一電腦儲存裝置(諸如電控制器72之一記憶體裝置72B)中之預定速度值之一預設設定。例如，預定速度值之一預設設定可設定為10 MPH或15 Km/h。In step S11 , the electric controller 72 determines whether the forward speed of the human vehicle A is less than or equal to a predetermined speed value based on a detection result of the forward speed sensor 74 . The predetermined speed value is preferably customizable by the user via the user operable input device 26 of the control device 10 (eg, the buttons shown) or the touch panel 28 of the control device 10 . The electrical controller 72 may have a default setting of predetermined speed values pre-stored in a computer storage device, such as a memory device 72B of the electrical controller 72 . For example, one of the preset settings for the predetermined speed values may be set to 10 MPH or 15 Km/h.

若電控制器72判定人力交通工具A之一當前前進車速小於或等於預定速度值，則電控制器72進行至步驟S12。另一方面，若電控制器72判定人力交通工具A之一當前前進車速大於預定速度值，則電控制器72進行至步驟S13。If the electrical controller 72 determines that the current forward speed of one of the human-powered vehicles A is less than or equal to the predetermined speed value, the electrical controller 72 proceeds to step S12. On the other hand, if the electric controller 72 determines that the current forward vehicle speed of one of the human-powered vehicles A is greater than the predetermined speed value, the electric controller 72 proceeds to step S13.

在步驟S12中，電控制器72經組態以控制電致動器14，使得在判定前進速度小於或等於一預定速度值之後，將第二耦合部分42定位於第一位置中。在繪示實施例中，藉由將第二耦合部分42定位於第一位置中來將手把H設定為三個預設位置之最高者。儘管在第二耦合部分42處於第一位置中時手把H可處於最高位置中，但可設想在第二耦合部分42處於第一位置中時手把H處於不是最高位置之一位置中。無論何種情況，在第二耦合部分42到達第一位置中之後，控制程序結束，直至執行下一次控制程序。In step S12, the electrical controller 72 is configured to control the electrical actuator 14 such that the second coupling portion 42 is positioned in the first position after determining that the forward speed is less than or equal to a predetermined speed value. In the illustrated embodiment, the handle H is set to the highest of the three preset positions by positioning the second coupling portion 42 in the first position. Although the handle H may be in the uppermost position when the second coupling portion 42 is in the first position, it is conceivable that the handle H is in one of the positions other than the uppermost position when the second coupling portion 42 is in the first position. In any case, after the second coupling portion 42 reaches the first position, the control routine ends until the next control routine is executed.

在步驟S13中，電控制器72基於踏頻感測器76之一偵測結果來判定人力交通工具A之踏頻是否小於或等於一預定踏頻值。預定踏頻值較佳地可由使用者經由控制裝置10之使用者可操作輸入裝置26 (例如所展示之按鈕)或控制裝置10之觸控面板28來客製化。電控制器72可具有預存於一電腦儲存裝置(諸如電控制器72之一記憶體裝置72B)中之預定踏頻值之一預設設定。例如，預定踏頻值之一預設設定可設定為50 RPM。In step S13 , the electric controller 72 determines whether the cadence of the human vehicle A is less than or equal to a predetermined cadence value based on a detection result of the cadence sensor 76 . The predetermined cadence value is preferably customizable by the user via the user operable input device 26 of the control device 10 (eg, the buttons shown) or the touch panel 28 of the control device 10 . The electrical controller 72 may have a default setting of predetermined cadence values pre-stored in a computer storage device, such as a memory device 72B of the electrical controller 72 . For example, one of the preset settings for the predetermined cadence value may be set to 50 RPM.

若電控制器72判定人力交通工具A之一當前踏頻小於或等於預定踏頻值，則電控制器72進行至步驟S16。另一方面，若電控制器72判定人力交通工具A之一當前踏頻大於預定踏頻值，則電控制器72進行至步驟S14。If the electric controller 72 determines that the current cadence of one of the human-powered vehicles A is less than or equal to the predetermined cadence value, the electric controller 72 proceeds to step S16. On the other hand, if the electric controller 72 determines that the current cadence of one of the human-powered vehicles A is greater than the predetermined cadence value, the electric controller 72 proceeds to step S14.

在步驟S14中，電控制器72基於功率計78之一偵測結果來判定人力交通工具A之功率輸入是否小於或等於一預定功率值。預定功率值較佳地可由使用者經由控制裝置10之使用者可操作輸入裝置26 (例如所展示之按鈕)或控制裝置10之觸控面板28來客製化。電控制器72可具有預存於一電腦儲存裝置(諸如電控制器72之一記憶體裝置72B)中之預定功率值之一預設設定。例如，預定功率值之一預設設定可設定為70瓦特。In step S14 , the electric controller 72 determines whether the power input of the human vehicle A is less than or equal to a predetermined power value based on a detection result of the power meter 78 . The predetermined power value is preferably customizable by the user via the user operable input device 26 of the control device 10 (eg, the buttons shown) or the touch panel 28 of the control device 10 . The electrical controller 72 may have a default setting of predetermined power values pre-stored in a computer storage device, such as a memory device 72B of the electrical controller 72 . For example, one of the preset settings for the predetermined power values may be set to 70 watts.

若電控制器72判定騎乘者對人力交通工具A之一當前功率輸入小於或等於預定功率輸入值，則電控制器72進行至步驟S16。另一方面，若電控制器72判定騎乘者對人力交通工具A之一當前功率輸入大於預定功率值，則電控制器72進行至步驟S15。If the electrical controller 72 determines that the rider's current power input to one of the human-powered vehicles A is less than or equal to the predetermined power input value, the electrical controller 72 proceeds to step S16. On the other hand, if the electric controller 72 determines that the rider's current power input to one of the human-powered vehicles A is greater than the predetermined power value, the electric controller 72 proceeds to step S15.

在步驟S15中，電控制器72經組態以控制電致動器14，使得在判定第二剛度狀態之後，將第二耦合部分42定位於第二位置中。在繪示實施例中，藉由將第二耦合部分42定位於第二位置中來將手把H設定為三個預設位置之最低者。儘管在第二耦合部分42處於第二位置中時手把H可處於最低位置中，但可設想在第二耦合部分42處於第二位置中時手把H處於不是最低位置之一位置中。無論何種情況，在第二耦合部分42到達第二位置中之後，控制程序結束，直至執行下一次控制程序。In step S15, the electrical controller 72 is configured to control the electrical actuator 14 such that after determining the second stiffness state, the second coupling portion 42 is positioned in the second position. In the illustrated embodiment, the handle H is set to the lowest of the three preset positions by positioning the second coupling portion 42 in the second position. Although the handle H may be in the lowermost position when the second coupling portion 42 is in the second position, it is conceivable that the handle H is in one of the positions other than the lowermost position when the second coupling portion 42 is in the second position. In any case, after the second coupling portion 42 reaches the second position, the control sequence ends until the next control sequence is executed.

在步驟S16中，電控制器72經組態以控制電致動器4，使得第二耦合部分42定位於一第三位置中。在控制程序中，自步驟S13或步驟S14到達步驟S16。當控制程序自步驟S13進行至步驟S16時，電控制器72經組態以控制電致動器14，使得在判定踏頻小於或等於一預定踏頻值之後，將第二耦合部分42定位於第一位置與第二位置之間的一第三位置中。另一方面，當控制程序自步驟S14進行至步驟S16時，電控制器72經組態以控制電致動器14，使得在判定功率輸入小於或等於一預定功率值之後，將第二耦合部分42定位於第三位置中。In step S16, the electrical controller 72 is configured to control the electrical actuator 4 such that the second coupling portion 42 is positioned in a third position. In the control routine, step S16 is reached from step S13 or step S14. When the control routine proceeds from step S13 to step S16, the electric controller 72 is configured to control the electric actuator 14 such that, after determining that the cadence is less than or equal to a predetermined cadence value, the second coupling portion 42 is positioned at the in a third position between the first position and the second position. On the other hand, when the control routine proceeds from step S14 to step S16, the electrical controller 72 is configured to control the electrical actuator 14 such that after determining that the power input is less than or equal to a predetermined power value, the second coupling portion 42 is positioned in the third position.

在繪示實施例中，藉由將第二耦合部分42定位於第三位置中來將手把H設定為三個預設位置之一中間位置。儘管在第二耦合部分42處於第三位置中時手把H可處於第一位置與第二位置中間，但可設想在第二耦合部分42處於第三位置中時手把H處於不是一中點之一位置中。無論何種情況，在第二耦合部分42到達第三位置中之後，控制程序結束，直至執行下一次控制程序。In the illustrated embodiment, the handle H is set to an intermediate position, one of the three preset positions, by positioning the second coupling portion 42 in the third position. Although the handle H may be intermediate the first position and the second position when the second coupling portion 42 is in the third position, it is contemplated that the handle H is not a midpoint when the second coupling portion 42 is in the third position in one of the locations. In any case, after the second coupling portion 42 reaches the third position, the control sequence ends until the next control sequence is executed.

現將參考圖9之流程圖來描述由電控制器72執行之一桿控制程序之一第二實例。圖9之桿控制程序由電控制器72依一規定時間間隔執行。在圖9之桿控制程序中，電控制器72藉由根據人力交通工具A之一功率輸入、人力交通工具A之一前進速度、人力交通工具A之一踏頻及前懸架16及後懸架18之至少一者之一操作狀態之至少一者啟動電致動器14來控制桿12之操作狀態。在圖9之桿控制程序中，電控制器72經組態以依操作狀態、前進速度、踏頻及輸入功率之順序優先控制電致動器14。A second example of a lever control program executed by the electrical controller 72 will now be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 9 . The lever control program of FIG. 9 is executed by the electric controller 72 at a predetermined time interval. In the lever control program of FIG. 9 , the electric controller 72 uses a power input according to the human vehicle A, a forward speed of the human vehicle A, a cadence of the human vehicle A, and the front suspension 16 and the rear suspension 18 At least one of at least one of the operating states activates the electrical actuator 14 to control the operating state of the lever 12 . In the lever control program of FIG. 9, the electric controller 72 is configured to preferentially control the electric actuator 14 in the order of operating state, forward speed, cadence, and input power.

如同圖8之控制程序，在圖9之控制程序中，電控制器72經組態以根據一懸架(例如前懸架16及/或後懸架18)之操作狀態來控制電致動器14。事實上，除已添加一額外步驟S17之外，圖9之控制程序相同於圖8之控制程序。因為圖9之控制程序之步驟S10至S16相同於圖8之控制程序之步驟S10至S16，所以將不在圖9之控制程序之描述中重複步驟S10至S16之描述。As with the control routine of FIG. 8, in the control routine of FIG. 9, the electrical controller 72 is configured to control the electrical actuator 14 according to the operating state of a suspension (eg, the front suspension 16 and/or the rear suspension 18). In fact, the control procedure of FIG. 9 is the same as that of FIG. 8 except that an additional step S17 has been added. Since steps S10 to S16 of the control program of FIG. 9 are the same as steps S10 to S16 of the control program of FIG. 8 , the description of steps S10 to S16 will not be repeated in the description of the control program of FIG. 9 .

在圖9之控制程序之步驟S13中，電控制器72基於踏頻感測器76之一偵測結果來判定人力交通工具A之踏頻是否小於或等於一預定踏頻值。若電控制器72判定人力交通工具A之一當前踏頻小於或等於預定踏頻值，則電控制器72進行至步驟S17。In step S13 of the control procedure of FIG. 9 , the electric controller 72 determines whether the cadence of the human vehicle A is less than or equal to a predetermined cadence value based on a detection result of the cadence sensor 76 . If the electric controller 72 determines that the current cadence of one of the human-powered vehicles A is less than or equal to the predetermined cadence value, the electric controller 72 proceeds to step S17.

在步驟S17中，電控制器72基於功率計78之一偵測結果來判定人力交通工具A之功率輸入小於或等於一預定功率值。步驟S17之預定功率值可相同於步驟S14之預定功率值(例如70瓦特)或為一不同值。此外，步驟S14之預定功率值儲存於電控制器72之一記憶體裝置72B中且可由一使用者客製化。In step S17 , the electric controller 72 determines that the power input of the human vehicle A is less than or equal to a predetermined power value based on a detection result of the power meter 78 . The predetermined power value of step S17 may be the same as the predetermined power value of step S14 (eg, 70 watts) or a different value. In addition, the predetermined power value of step S14 is stored in a memory device 72B of the electrical controller 72 and can be customized by a user.

若電控制器72判定騎乘者對人力交通工具A之一當前功率輸入小於或等於預定功率輸入值，則電控制器72進行至其中將第二耦合部分42設定為第一位置之步驟S12。另一方面，若電控制器72判定騎乘者對人力交通工具A之一當前功率輸入大於預定功率值，則電控制器72進行至其中將第二耦合部分42設定為第三位置之步驟S16。在步驟S16中，電控制器72經組態以控制電致動器14，使得在判定功率輸入大於預定功率值之後，將第二耦合部分定位於第二位置中。If the electric controller 72 determines that a current power input of the rider to the human vehicle A is less than or equal to the predetermined power input value, the electric controller 72 proceeds to step S12 in which the second coupling portion 42 is set to the first position. On the other hand, if the electric controller 72 determines that the current power input by the rider to one of the human-powered vehicles A is greater than the predetermined power value, the electric controller 72 proceeds to step S16 in which the second coupling portion 42 is set to the third position . In step S16, the electrical controller 72 is configured to control the electrical actuator 14 such that after determining that the power input is greater than the predetermined power value, the second coupling portion is positioned in the second position.

現將參考圖10之流程圖來描述由電控制器72執行之一桿控制程序之一第三實例。桿控制程序由電控制器72依一預定時間間隔執行。在圖10之桿控制程序中，電控制器72藉由根據人力交通工具A之一功率輸入、人力交通工具A之一前進速度、人力交通工具A之一踏頻及座桿20之一操作狀態之至少一者啟動電致動器14來控制桿12之操作狀態。在圖10之桿控制程序中，電控制器72經組態以依操作狀態、輸入功率、踏頻及前進速度之順序優先控制電致動器14。因此，電控制器72自桿位置感測器12A、座桿位置感測器20B、前進速度感測器74、踏頻感測器76及功率計78週期性接收偵測結果。A third example of a lever control procedure executed by the electric controller 72 will now be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 10 . The lever control program is executed by the electric controller 72 at predetermined time intervals. In the lever control procedure of FIG. 10 , the electric controller 72 operates according to a power input of the human vehicle A, a forward speed of the human vehicle A, a cadence of the human vehicle A and an operating state of the seat post 20 . At least one of them activates the electric actuator 14 to control the operating state of the lever 12 . In the lever control program of FIG. 10, the electric controller 72 is configured to preferentially control the electric actuator 14 in the order of operating state, input power, cadence, and forward speed. Accordingly, the electrical controller 72 periodically receives detection results from the stem position sensor 12A, the seatpost position sensor 20B, the forward speed sensor 74 , the cadence sensor 76 and the power meter 78 .

在圖10之桿控制程序中，電控制器72經組態以根據高度可調座桿20之一操作狀態來控制電致動器14。在此，在圖10之桿控制程序中，高度可調座桿20之操作狀態包含將人力交通工具A之車座S定位於一第一車座位置中之一第一操作狀態及將車座定位於高於第一車座位置之一第二車座位置中之一第二操作狀態。換言之，電控制器72使用座桿20之一擴展/收縮狀態來判定桿12之控制及調整手把H之高度。In the lever control program of FIG. 10 , the electrical controller 72 is configured to control the electrical actuator 14 according to an operational state of the height adjustable seatpost 20 . Here, in the lever control procedure of FIG. 10 , the operating state of the height-adjustable seat post 20 includes positioning the seat S of the human-powered vehicle A in a first operating state in a first seat position and positioning the seat in a high in a second operating state in a first seat position and a second seat position. In other words, the electric controller 72 uses an expanded/retracted state of the seatpost 20 to determine the control of the lever 12 and adjust the height of the handle H.

在步驟S20中，電控制器72基於關於座桿20之操作狀態之來自座桿位置感測器20B之一偵測結果來判定座桿20之操作(向下/延伸)狀態。特定言之，電控制器72判定座桿20是設定為第一操作狀態還是第二操作狀態。當座桿20處於第一操作狀態中時，人力交通工具A之車座S處於第一車座位置中，及當座桿20處於第二操作狀態中時，人力交通工具A之車座S處於第二車座位置中。在此，第二車座位置高於第一車座位置。In step S20 , the electric controller 72 determines the operation (down/extended) state of the seatpost 20 based on a detection result from the seatpost position sensor 20B regarding the operation state of the seatpost 20 . Specifically, the electrical controller 72 determines whether the seatpost 20 is set to the first operating state or the second operating state. When the seat post 20 is in the first operating state, the seat S of the human-powered vehicle A is in the first seat position, and when the seat post 20 is in the second operating state, the seat S of the human-powered vehicle A is in the second seat in location. Here, the second seat position is higher than the first seat position.

無論何種情況，若電控制器72判定第一操作狀態存在，則電控制器72進行至步驟S21。然而，若電控制器72判定第二操作狀態存在，則電控制器72進行至步驟S27。In any case, if the electrical controller 72 determines that the first operating state exists, the electrical controller 72 proceeds to step S21. However, if the electrical controller 72 determines that the second operating state exists, the electrical controller 72 proceeds to step S27.

在步驟S21中，電控制器72基於功率計78之一偵測結果來判定人力交通工具A之功率輸入是否小於或等於一預定功率值。預定功率值較佳地可由使用者經由控制裝置10之使用者可操作輸入裝置26 (例如所展示之按鈕)或控制裝置10之觸控面板28來客製化。電控制器72可具有預存於一電腦儲存裝置(諸如電控制器72之一記憶體裝置72B)中之預定功率值之一預設設定。例如，預定功率值之一預設設定可設定為200瓦特。In step S21 , the electric controller 72 determines whether the power input of the human vehicle A is less than or equal to a predetermined power value based on a detection result of the power meter 78 . The predetermined power value is preferably customizable by the user via the user operable input device 26 of the control device 10 (eg, the buttons shown) or the touch panel 28 of the control device 10 . The electrical controller 72 may have a default setting of predetermined power values pre-stored in a computer storage device, such as a memory device 72B of the electrical controller 72 . For example, one of the default settings for the predetermined power values may be set to 200 watts.

若電控制器72判定騎乘者對人力交通工具A之一當前功率輸入小於或等於預定功率輸入值，則電控制器72進行至步驟S22。另一方面，若電控制器72判定騎乘者對人力交通工具A之一當前功率輸入大於預定功率值，則電控制器72進行至步驟S23。If the electrical controller 72 determines that the rider's current power input to one of the human-powered vehicles A is less than or equal to the predetermined power input value, the electrical controller 72 proceeds to step S22. On the other hand, if the electric controller 72 determines that the current power input by the rider to one of the human-powered vehicles A is greater than the predetermined power value, the electric controller 72 proceeds to step S23.

在步驟S22中，電控制器72經組態以控制電致動器14，使得在高度可調座桿20處於第一操作狀態中時判定功率輸入小於或等於一預定功率值之後，將第二耦合部分42定位於第一位置中。如上文所提及，在繪示實施例中，藉由將第二耦合部分42定位於第一位置中來將手把H設定為三個預設位置之最高者。在第二耦合部分42到達第一位置中之後，控制程序結束，直至執行下一次控制程序。In step S22, the electrical controller 72 is configured to control the electrical actuator 14 such that the second power input is determined to be less than or equal to a predetermined power value when the height adjustable seatpost 20 is in the first operating state. The coupling portion 42 is positioned in the first position.

Next, the control routine proceeds to step S33, where the electrical controller 72 is configured to control one or more of the electrical actuators 16A, 16B, 18A, and 18B such that one or both of the front suspension 16 and the rear suspension 18 are set is the first stiffness state. After one or both of the front suspension 16 and the rear suspension 18 are set to the first stiffness state, the control routine ends until the next control routine is executed.

現參考圖12至圖26，一控制裝置110與根據另一說明性實施例之人力交通工具A一起使用。控制裝置110藉由改變人力交通工具A之組態更好地適應人力交通工具A之當前行進狀況之一較佳騎乘姿勢來特別有助於爬坡及下坡。Referring now to FIGS. 12-26, a control device 110 is used with human-powered vehicle A according to another illustrative embodiment. The control device 110 is particularly helpful for climbing and descending slopes by changing the configuration of the human-powered vehicle A to better suit one of the preferred riding postures of the human-powered vehicle A's current travel situation.

在此，除用於控制人力交通工具A之額外程式化之外，控制裝置110相同於上文所討論之控制裝置10。在圖20中，除控制裝置10及座桿20已由一座桿120及控制裝置110替換之外，人力交通工具A相同於圖1之人力交通工具A。在此，控制裝置110經組態以自動控制座桿120以回應於來自一佔用者之一輸入及/或人力交通工具A之一組件之一操作狀態之偵測而向前或向後移動車座S及/或向上或向下傾斜車座S，如圖13至圖17中所見。Here, except for the additional programming for controlling the human vehicle A, the control device 110 is identical to the control device 10 discussed above. In FIG. 20 , the human-powered vehicle A is the same as the human-powered vehicle A of FIG. 1 , except that the control device 10 and the seatpost 20 have been replaced by a seat post 120 and the control device 110 . Here, the control device 110 is configured to automatically control the seatpost 120 to move the seat S forward or backward in response to an input from an occupant and/or detection of an operational state of a component of the human vehicle A and/or tilt the seat S up or down, as seen in FIGS. 13 to 17 .

因此，此實施例與先前實施例之間的類似處、此實施例相同於先前實施例之部分之部分將被給予相同於先前實施例之部分之元件符號。此外，為簡潔起見，可省略此實施例相同於先前實施例之部分之部分之描述。Therefore, the similarities between this embodiment and the previous embodiment, the parts of this embodiment that are the same as the parts of the previous embodiments will be given the same reference numerals as the parts of the previous embodiments. Furthermore, for the sake of brevity, the description of parts of this embodiment that are the same as those of the previous embodiments may be omitted.

如圖20中所見，座桿120包含一車座高度致動器120A及複數個位置感測器120B。如圖18及圖19中所見，車座高度致動器120A經組態以升高及降低車座S。因此，人力交通工具A之姿勢改變裝置包含車座高度致動器120A。位置感測器120B包含經組態以偵測座桿120之一當前高度且因此偵測車座S之一當前高度之至少一位置感測器。電控制器72經組態以選擇性控制車座高度致動器120A以回應於佔用者或騎乘者操作使用者可操作輸入裝置32而向上或向下移動車座S。As seen in FIG. 20, the seat post 120 includes a seat height actuator 120A and a plurality of position sensors 120B. As seen in FIGS. 18 and 19 , the seat height actuator 120A is configured to raise and lower the seat S. Therefore, the posture changing device of the human-powered vehicle A includes the seat height actuator 120A. The position sensor 120B includes at least one position sensor configured to detect a current height of the seatpost 120 and thus a current height of the seat S. The electrical controller 72 is configured to selectively control the seat height actuator 120A to move the seat S up or down in response to an occupant or rider operating the user operable input device 32 .

如圖20中所見，座桿120進一步包含一車座定位致動器120C。如圖13至圖17中所見，座桿120經組態以自一中間位置(圖13)向前(圖14)或向後(圖15)移動車座S。藉由自一中間位置(圖13)向前(圖14)或向後(圖15)移動車座S來改變騎乘者之一姿勢。因此，人力交通工具A之姿勢改變裝置包含車座定位致動器120C。如下文將解釋，電控制器72經組態以選擇性控制車座定位致動器120C以在判定一佔用者就座或未就座之後根據人力交通工具A之功率輸入、人力交通工具A之踏頻及人力交通工具A之前進速度之至少一者來向前或向後移動車座S。As seen in Figure 20, the seatpost 120 further includes a seat positioning actuator 120C. As seen in FIGS. 13-17 , the seat post 120 is configured to move the seat S forward ( FIG. 14 ) or rearward ( FIG. 15 ) from an intermediate position ( FIG. 13 ). A position of the rider is changed by moving the saddle S forward (Fig. 14) or backward (Fig. 15) from an intermediate position (Fig. 13). Therefore, the posture changing device of the human-powered vehicle A includes the seat positioning actuator 120C. As will be explained below, the electrical controller 72 is configured to selectively control the seat positioning actuator 120C to step on the human vehicle A according to the power input of the human vehicle A after determining whether an occupant is seated or not seated The seat S is moved forward or backward at least one of the frequency and the forward speed of the human vehicle A.

如圖20中所見，座桿120進一步包含一車座角度致動器120D。如圖13、圖16及圖17中所見，車座角度致動器120D經組態以自一水平位置(圖13)向下(圖16)或向上(圖17)傾斜車座S。藉由自一水平位置(圖13)向下(圖16)或向上(圖17)傾斜車座S來改變騎乘者之一姿勢。因此，人力交通工具A之姿勢改變裝置包含車座角度致動器120D。儘管車座S之水平中間位置(圖13)通常將設定為預設位置，但騎乘者或使用者可視需要及/或視情況將預設位置設定為任何位置。如下文將解釋，電控制器72經組態以選擇性控制車座角度致動器120D以在判定一佔用者就座或未就座之後根據人力交通工具A之功率輸入、人力交通工具A之踏頻及人力交通工具A之前進速度之至少一者來向上或向下傾斜車座S。As seen in FIG. 20, the seatpost 120 further includes a seat angle actuator 120D. As seen in FIGS. 13 , 16 and 17 , the seat angle actuator 120D is configured to tilt the seat S downward ( FIG. 16 ) or upward ( FIG. 17 ) from a horizontal position ( FIG. 13 ). One of the rider's postures is changed by tilting the saddle S downwards (Fig. 16) or upwards (Fig. 17) from a horizontal position (Fig. 13). Therefore, the posture changing device of the human-powered vehicle A includes the seat angle actuator 120D. Although the horizontal neutral position of the saddle S ( FIG. 13 ) will normally be set as the default position, the rider or user may set the default position to any position as desired and/or as appropriate. As will be explained below, the electrical controller 72 is configured to selectively control the seat angle actuator 120D to step on the human vehicle A according to the power input of the human vehicle A after determining whether an occupant is seated or not seated The vehicle seat S is tilted up or down at least one of the frequency and the forward speed of the human vehicle A.

座桿120藉由經由使用者可操作輸入裝置32接收一電信號來操作。使用者可操作輸入裝置32較佳地經組態以個別及獨立操作車座高度致動器120A、車座定位致動器120C及車座角度致動器120D。例如，使用者可操作輸入裝置32可具有複數個開關，其中車座高度致動器120A、車座定位致動器120C及車座角度致動器120D之各者由其自身開關之一或多者操作。換言之，一佔用者或騎乘者可藉由操作使用者可操作輸入裝置32以操作車座高度致動器120A來升高或降低車座S且不縱向移動或傾斜車座S。此外，一佔用者或騎乘者可藉由操作使用者可操作輸入裝置32以操作車座定位致動器120C來縱向向前或向後移動車座S且不升高、降低或傾斜車座S。此外，一佔用者或騎乘者可藉由操作使用者可操作輸入裝置32以操作車座角度致動器120D來向上或向下傾斜車座S且不升高、降低或縱向移動車座S。替代地，使用者可操作輸入裝置32可用於同時操作車座高度致動器120A、車座定位致動器120C及車座角度致動器120D之兩者或全部。此外，使用者可操作輸入裝置32可為一單一輸入裝置，或可為定位於人力交通工具A上之不同位置處之兩個或三個分離輸入裝置。The seat post 120 is operated by receiving an electrical signal via the user operable input device 32 . The user operable input device 32 is preferably configured to individually and independently operate the seat height actuator 120A, the seat positioning actuator 120C, and the seat angle actuator 120D. For example, the user operable input device 32 may have a plurality of switches, with each of the seat height actuator 120A, seat positioning actuator 120C, and seat angle actuator 120D being operated by one or more of its own switches. In other words, an occupant or rider can raise or lower the seat S without moving or tilting the seat S longitudinally by operating the user operable input device 32 to operate the seat height actuator 120A. Additionally, an occupant or rider can move the seat S longitudinally forward or rearward without raising, lowering or tilting the seat S by operating the user operable input device 32 to operate the seat positioning actuator 120C. Additionally, an occupant or rider can tilt the seat S up or down without raising, lowering, or moving the seat S longitudinally by operating the user-operable input device 32 to operate the seat angle actuator 120D. Alternatively, the user operable input device 32 may be used to simultaneously operate both or all of the seat height actuator 120A, the seat positioning actuator 120C, and the seat angle actuator 120D. Furthermore, the user operable input device 32 may be a single input device, or may be two or three separate input devices positioned at different locations on the human vehicle A.

在繪示實施例中，車座高度致動器120A、車座定位致動器120C及車座角度致動器120D係電致動器，諸如可逆電動馬達。在此，座桿120進一步包含用於偵測座桿120之操作狀態之複數個座桿位置感測器120B。座桿位置感測器20B可為(例如)應用於車座高度致動器120A、車座定位致動器120C及車座角度致動器120D以偵測車座高度致動器120A、車座定位致動器120C及車座角度致動器120D之一部分之一位置或操作量之一電位計或一光學感測器。In the illustrated embodiment, the seat height actuator 120A, the seat positioning actuator 120C, and the seat angle actuator 120D are electrical actuators, such as reversible electric motors. Here, the seatpost 120 further includes a plurality of seatpost position sensors 120B for detecting the operating state of the seatpost 120 . Seatpost position sensor 20B may be, for example, applied to seat height actuator 120A, seat positioning actuator 120C, and seat angle actuator 120D to detect seat height actuator 120A, seat positioning actuator 120C and a potentiometer or an optical sensor for a position or operation amount of a portion of the seat angle actuator 120D.

關於車座高度致動器120A，座桿120之操作狀態基本上包含將人力交通工具A之車座S定位於一第一車座位置中之一第一操作狀態及將車座S定位於高於第一車座位置之一第二車座位置中之一第二操作狀態。關於車座高度致動器120A，座桿120之操作狀態較佳地進一步包含將車座S定位於第一車座位置與第二車座位置之間的一第三車座位置中之一第三操作狀態。關於車座定位致動器120C，座桿120之操作狀態基本上包含三個操作狀態。特定言之，關於車座定位致動器120C，座桿120之操作狀態包含一中間車座位置、一前車座位置及一後車座位置。關於車座角度致動器120D，座桿120之操作狀態基本上包含三個操作狀態。特定言之，關於車座角度致動器120D，座桿120之操作狀態包含一水平車座狀態、一前端向上狀態及一前端向下狀態。With regard to the seat height actuator 120A, the operating state of the seat post 120 basically includes a first operating state of positioning the seat S of the human vehicle A in a first seat position and positioning the seat S higher than the first seat A second operating state in a second seat position in one of the positions. With regard to the seat height actuator 120A, the operational state of the seat post 120 preferably further includes a third operational state of positioning the seat S in a third seat position between the first seat position and the second seat position. Regarding the seat positioning actuator 120C, the operating states of the seat post 120 basically include three operating states. Specifically, with regard to the seat positioning actuator 120C, the operating states of the seat post 120 include a middle seat position, a front seat position, and a rear seat position. Regarding the seat angle actuator 120D, the operating states of the seat post 120 basically include three operating states. Specifically, with regard to the seat angle actuator 120D, the operating states of the seat post 120 include a horizontal seat state, a front end up state, and a front end down state.

如圖18中所見，當沿一陡坡向下騎乘人力交通工具A時，期望向後移動人力交通工具A上之騎乘者之負載以降低人力交通工具A向前旋轉之一可能性。為實現用於沿一陡坡向下騎乘之此騎乘姿勢，期望將桿12升高至高位置、將前懸架16調整至一長行程及一軟(阻尼器)剛度及向後移動車座且前端向上傾斜。由於姿勢改變裝置之此等改變，騎乘者之姿勢自一前傾姿勢θa改變至一更直立姿勢θb (即，θa＜θb)。基本上藉由改變車座S之位置及角度及桿12之高度來改變騎乘者之姿勢以促成騎乘者之所要姿勢。更具體言之，藉由改變車座S之位置及角度，一有效車座角度自一有效預設車座角度θc改變至一有效調整車座角度θd以促成騎乘者之所要姿勢。As seen in Figure 18, when riding human vehicle A down a steep slope, it is desirable to move the rider's load on human vehicle A backwards to reduce the possibility of human vehicle A rotating forward. To achieve this riding position for riding down a steep incline, it is desirable to raise the bar 12 to a high position, adjust the front suspension 16 to a long travel and a soft (damper) stiffness and move the seat back with the front end up tilt. Due to these changes of the posture changing device, the posture of the rider changes from a forward leaning posture θa to a more upright posture θb (ie, θa<θb). Basically, by changing the position and angle of the seat S and the height of the rod 12, the rider's posture is changed to achieve the rider's desired posture. More specifically, by changing the position and angle of the saddle S, an effective saddle angle is changed from an effective preset saddle angle θc to an effective adjusted saddle angle θd to facilitate the rider's desired posture.

如圖19中所見，當沿一陡坡向上騎乘人力交通工具A時，期望向前移動人力交通工具A上之騎乘者之負載以降低人力交通工具A向後旋轉之一可能性。另外，期望騎乘者採取一略微前傾姿勢來維持執行高效踩踏之一騎乘姿勢。為實現用於沿一陡坡向上騎乘之此騎乘姿勢，期望將桿12降低至低位置、將前懸架16調整至一短行程及一硬(阻尼器)剛度、將後懸架18調整至一長行程及一硬(阻尼器)剛度及向前移動車座S且前端向下傾斜。由於姿勢改變裝置之此等改變，騎乘者之姿勢自一前傾姿勢θa改變至一略微更前傾姿勢θb (即，θa＜θb)。基本上藉由改變車座S之位置及角度及桿12之高度來改變騎乘者之姿勢以促成騎乘者之所要姿勢。更具體言之，藉由改變車座S之位置及角度，一有效車座角度自一有效預設車座角度θc改變至一有效調整車座角度θd以促成騎乘者之所要姿勢。As seen in Figure 19, when riding human vehicle A up a steep slope, it is desirable to move the rider's load on human vehicle A forward to reduce the possibility of human vehicle A rotating backwards. Additionally, the rider is expected to adopt a slightly forward leaning position to maintain a riding position that performs efficient pedaling. To achieve this riding position for riding up a steep incline, it is desirable to lower the bar 12 to a low position, adjust the front suspension 16 to a short travel and a stiff (damper) stiffness, adjust the rear suspension 18 to a Long travel and a stiff (damper) stiffness and move the saddle S forward with the front end sloping down. Due to these changes by the posture changing device, the rider's posture changes from a forward leaning posture θa to a slightly more forward leaning posture θb (ie, θa<θb). Basically, by changing the position and angle of the seat S and the height of the rod 12, the rider's posture is changed to achieve the rider's desired posture. More specifically, by changing the position and angle of the saddle S, an effective saddle angle is changed from an effective preset saddle angle θc to an effective adjusted saddle angle θd to facilitate the rider's desired posture.

現將參考圖21之流程圖來描述由電控制器72執行以控制姿勢改變裝置用於獲得圖18及圖19中所見之人力交通工具A之組態之一控制程序之一第五實例。圖21之控制程序由電控制器72依一規定時間間隔執行。在圖21之控制程序中，電控制器72經組態以選擇性控制以下之一或多者：(1)用於控制桿12之操作狀態之電致動器14；(2)用於控制前懸架16之操作狀態之電致動器16A及16B；(3)用於控制後懸架18之操作狀態之電致動器18A及18B；及(4)用於控制座桿120之操作狀態之車座高度致動器120A、車座定位致動器120C及車座角度致動器120D。A fifth example of a control procedure performed by the electrical controller 72 to control the posture changing device for obtaining the configuration of the human vehicle A seen in FIGS. 18 and 19 will now be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 21 . The control routine of FIG. 21 is executed by the electric controller 72 at a predetermined time interval. In the control program of FIG. 21, the electrical controller 72 is configured to selectively control one or more of: (1) the electrical actuator 14 for controlling the operational state of the lever 12; (2) for controlling Electric actuators 16A and 16B for the operating state of the front suspension 16; (3) electric actuators 18A and 18B for controlling the operating state of the rear suspension 18; and (4) electric actuators for controlling the operating state of the seatpost 120 A seat height actuator 120A, a seat positioning actuator 120C, and a seat angle actuator 120D.

在圖21之控制程序中，電控制器72基本上經組態以設定複數個預定控制設定，如圖22至圖25中所見。例如，預定控制設定之各者較佳地包含一懸架剛度設定、一懸架行程設定、一桿高度設定、一車座位置設定及一車座角度設定之一或多者。儘管圖21之控制程序經組態以控制人力交通工具A之一懸架剛度設定、一懸架行程設定、一桿高度設定、一車座位置設定及一車座角度設定，但應自本發明明白，可視需要及/或視情況省略一些設定。例如，圖21之控制程序可經組態以僅控制桿高度設定，或可經組態以控制人力交通工具A之桿高度設定、車座位置設定及/或車座角度設定之一或多者。In the control program of FIG. 21, the electrical controller 72 is basically configured to set a plurality of predetermined control settings, as seen in FIGS. 22-25. For example, each of the predetermined control settings preferably includes one or more of a suspension stiffness setting, a suspension travel setting, a lever height setting, a seat position setting, and a seat angle setting. Although the control program of FIG. 21 is configured to control a suspension stiffness setting, a suspension travel setting, a lever height setting, a seat position setting, and a seat angle setting for human vehicle A, it should be understood from the present invention that, as desired, And/or omit some settings as appropriate. For example, the control program of FIG. 21 may be configured to control only the stick height setting, or may be configured to control one or more of the stick height setting, seat position setting, and/or seat angle setting of Human Vehicle A.

在圖21之控制程序中，懸架剛度設定之各者包含三個剛度設定(軟、中等及硬)，其中硬設定比中等設定剛性，中等設定比軟設定剛性。替代地，圖21之控制程序可具有前懸架16及後懸架18之更少或更多剛度設定。在圖21之控制程序中，懸架行程設定之各者包含三個行程設定(短、中間及長)，其中長設定允許比中間設定長之一行程，中間設定允許比短設定長之一行程。替代地，圖21之控制程序可具有前懸架16及後懸架18之更少或更多行程設定。在圖21之控制程序中，車座位置設定包含三個車座位置設定(前、中間及後)，其中前設定比中間設定更向前，中間設定比後設定更向前。替代地，圖21之控制程序可具有車座S之更少或更多車座位置設定。在圖21之控制程序中，車座角度設定包含三個車座角度設定(前端向上、水平及前端向下)。替代地，圖21之控制程序可具有車座S之更少或更多車座角度設定。In the control routine of FIG. 21, each of the suspension stiffness settings includes three stiffness settings (soft, medium, and hard), where the hard setting is stiffer than the medium setting, and the medium setting is stiffer than the soft setting. Alternatively, the control routine of FIG. 21 may have fewer or more stiffness settings for the front suspension 16 and rear suspension 18 . In the control routine of Figure 21, each of the suspension travel settings includes three travel settings (short, medium and long), with the long setting allowing a longer stroke than the middle setting and the middle setting allowing a longer stroke than the short setting. Alternatively, the control routine of FIG. 21 may have less or more travel settings for the front suspension 16 and the rear suspension 18 . In the control routine of FIG. 21 , the seat position setting includes three seat position settings (front, middle and rear), wherein the front setting is further forward than the middle setting, and the middle setting is further forward than the rear setting. Alternatively, the control routine of FIG. 21 may have fewer or more seat position settings for the seat S. In the control routine of FIG. 21, the seat angle setting includes three seat angle settings (front end up, horizontal and front end down). Alternatively, the control routine of FIG. 21 may have fewer or more seat angle settings for the seat S.

如下文將解釋，電控制器72經組態以至少部分基於高度可調座桿120之車座高度高於或低於一預定高度來選擇預定控制設定之一者。在圖21之控制程序之執行期間，電控制器72基本上經組態以根據人力交通工具A之一功率輸入、人力交通工具A之一前進速度、人力交通工具A之一踏頻、人力交通工具之一傳輸裝置(例如後變速器22)之一操作狀態及人力交通工具A之姿勢改變裝置之一操作狀態之至少一者來選擇性控制電致動器14。此外，在圖21之控制程序之執行期間，電控制器72經組態以藉由選擇性啟動電致動器(即，行程量致動器16A、阻尼力致動器16B、行程量致動器18A、阻尼力致動器18B、車座高度致動器120A、車座定位致動器120C及車座角度致動器120D)來選擇性控制姿勢改變裝置。因此，例如，電控制器72經組態以在判定一佔用者就座或未就座之後根據人力交通工具A之功率輸入、人力交通工具A之踏頻及人力交通工具A之前進速度之至少一者來選擇性控制車座定位致動器120C向前或向後移動車座S。此外，例如，電控制器72經組態以在判定一佔用者就座或未就座之後根據人力交通工具A之功率輸入、人力交通工具A之踏頻及人力交通工具A之前進速度之至少一者來選擇性控制車座角度致動器120D向上或向下傾斜車座。As will be explained below, the electrical controller 72 is configured to select one of the predetermined control settings based at least in part on the seat height of the height adjustable seatpost 120 being above or below a predetermined height. During execution of the control routine of FIG. 21, the electrical controller 72 is substantially configured to respond to a power input of the human vehicle A, a forward speed of the human vehicle A, a cadence of the human vehicle A, the human traffic Electrical actuator 14 is selectively controlled by at least one of an operating state of a transmission device of the tool (eg, rear derailleur 22 ) and an operating state of a posture changing device of human vehicle A. Additionally, during execution of the control routine of FIG. 21, the electrical controller 72 is configured to act by selectively activating the electrical actuators (ie, the stroke volume actuator 16A, the damping force actuator 16B, the stroke volume actuator actuator 18A, damping force actuator 18B, seat height actuator 120A, seat positioning actuator 120C, and seat angle actuator 120D) to selectively control the posture changing device. Thus, for example, the electrical controller 72 is configured to, after determining that an occupant is seated or not seated, is based on at least the power input of the human vehicle A, the cadence of the human vehicle A, and the advance speed of the human vehicle A. One to selectively control the seat positioning actuator 120C to move the seat S forward or backward. Additionally, for example, the electrical controller 72 is configured to, after determining that an occupant is seated or not seated, is based on at least the power input of the human vehicle A, the cadence of the human vehicle A, and the advance speed of the human vehicle A. One selectively controls the seat angle actuator 120D to tilt the seat up or down.

此外，在圖21之控制程序中，除桿12之位置之外，亦設定前懸架16及後懸架18之一或兩者之一剛度狀態。儘管人力交通工具A之姿勢改變裝置之所有電致動器14、16A、16B、18A、18B、120A、120C及120D由圖21之控制程序控制，但應自本發明明白，圖21之控制程序可經修改使得僅人力交通工具A之姿勢改變裝置之一或多者由圖21之控制程序控制。In addition, in the control routine of FIG. 21, in addition to the position of the lever 12, the rigidity state of one or both of the front suspension 16 and the rear suspension 18 is also set. Although all electric actuators 14, 16A, 16B, 18A, 18B, 120A, 120C and 120D of the posture changing device of human vehicle A are controlled by the control program of FIG. 21, it should be understood from the present invention that the control program of FIG. 21 It can be modified so that only one or more of the posture changing devices of human vehicle A are controlled by the control program of FIG. 21 .

在圖21之控制程序中，電控制器72經組態以依操作狀態、輸入功率、踏頻及前進速度之順序優先控制電致動器14。In the control routine of FIG. 21, the electric controller 72 is configured to preferentially control the electric actuator 14 in the order of operating state, input power, cadence, and forward speed.

圖21之控制程序可回應於偵測到藉由操作使用者可操作輸入裝置32來調整座桿120或回應於偵測到使用者可操作輸入裝置34之操作(即，一換檔開關之操作)而引發。在圖21之控制程序由電控制器72引發之後，控制程序進行至步驟S50。因此，電控制器72經組態以回應於一輸入裝置調整人力交通工具A之一車座高度及人力交通工具A之一齒輪比之至少一者之操作而開始控制程序以控制電致動器14。The control routine of FIG. 21 may be responsive to detecting that the seatpost 120 is adjusted by operating the user-operable input device 32 or in response to detecting the operation of the user-operable input device 34 (ie, the operation of a shift switch) ) is triggered. After the control procedure of FIG. 21 is initiated by the electric controller 72, the control procedure proceeds to step S50. Accordingly, the electrical controller 72 is configured to initiate a control program to control the electrical actuator 14 in response to an input device operating to adjust at least one of a seat height of the human vehicle A and a gear ratio of the human vehicle A .

在步驟S50中，電控制器72判定高度可調座桿120之一操作狀態。特定言之，電控制器72判定車座高度是否高於一預定車座高度(例如一中間車座高度位置)。因此，高度可調座桿120之操作狀態包含高度可調座桿120之一車座高度高於或低於一預定高度。類似於先前控制程序，座桿120之操作(向下/延伸)狀態基於關於座桿120之操作狀態之來自一座桿位置感測器120B之一偵測結果。特定言之，電控制器72判定座桿120是否設定為第一操作狀態(第一或低車座位置)、第二操作狀態(第二或高車座位置)或第三操作狀態(第三或中間車座位置)。第一或低車座位置可為一第一位置範圍而非一單一各別位置。同樣地，第二或高車座位置可為一第二位置範圍而非一單一各別位置，且第三或中間車座位置可為一第三位置範圍而非一單一各別位置。若電控制器72判定第一操作狀態存在(即，座桿120低於預定高度，諸如第三或中間車座位置)，則電控制器72進行至步驟S51。In step S50 , the electric controller 72 determines one of the operating states of the height adjustable seat post 120 . Specifically, the electrical controller 72 determines whether the seat height is higher than a predetermined seat height (eg, an intermediate seat height position). Therefore, the operating state of the height-adjustable seat post 120 includes a seat height of the height-adjustable seat post 120 being higher or lower than a predetermined height. Similar to the previous control procedure, the operational (down/extended) state of the seatpost 120 is based on a detection result from the seatpost position sensor 120B regarding the operational state of the seatpost 120 . Specifically, the electrical controller 72 determines whether the seatpost 120 is set to a first operating state (first or low seat position), a second operating state (second or high seat position), or a third operating state (third or intermediate position) seat position). The first or low seat position may be a first range of positions rather than a single individual position. Likewise, the second or high seat position may be a second range of positions rather than a single respective position, and the third or middle seat position may be a third range of positions rather than a single respective position. If the electrical controller 72 determines that the first operating state exists (ie, the seatpost 120 is below a predetermined height, such as the third or middle seat position), the electrical controller 72 proceeds to step S51.

在步驟S51中，電控制器72判定一佔用者或騎乘者是處於一就座位置還是未就座位置中。因此，電控制器72經組態以在判定一佔用者就座或未就座之後選擇性控制電致動器14及至少一姿勢改變裝置。車座S可具有用於偵測一佔用者或騎乘者是處於一就座位置還是未就座位置中之一車座負載感測器121。若電控制器72判定佔用者或騎乘者處於就座位置中，則電控制器72進行至步驟S52。In step S51, the electrical controller 72 determines whether an occupant or rider is in a seated or unseated position. Accordingly, the electrical controller 72 is configured to selectively control the electrical actuator 14 and at least one posture change device after determining whether an occupant is seated or not. The saddle S may have a saddle load sensor 121 for detecting whether an occupant or rider is in a seated or unseated position. If the electrical controller 72 determines that the occupant or the rider is in the seated position, the electrical controller 72 proceeds to step S52.

在步驟S52中，電控制器72執行一第一控制(圖22)，其中由電致動器14將第二耦合部分42設定為第一(高)位置，使得桿12具有一高高度。換言之，在步驟S52中，電控制器72經組態以在車座高度低於預定高度時判定佔用者就座之後選擇性控制電致動器14，使得第二耦合部分42定位於第一位置中。圖21之控制程序之第一控制(圖22)亦包含人力交通工具A之其他姿勢改變裝置之複數個預定控制設定。在圖21之控制程序之第一控制中，電控制器72基本上經組態以設定預定控制設定，如圖22中所見。例如圖22中所見，預定控制設定之各者較佳地包含一懸架剛度設定、一懸架行程設定、一桿高度設定、一車座位置設定及一車座角度設定之一或多者。圖22之預定控制設定預存於電控制器72之記憶體裝置72B中。In step S52, the electric controller 72 performs a first control (FIG. 22) in which the second coupling portion 42 is set to the first (high) position by the electric actuator 14 so that the rod 12 has a high height. In other words, in step S52, the electrical controller 72 is configured to selectively control the electrical actuator 14 such that the second coupling portion 42 is positioned in the first position after determining that the occupant is seated when the seat height is lower than the predetermined height . The first control of the control program of FIG. 21 ( FIG. 22 ) also includes a plurality of predetermined control settings for the other posture changing devices of the human vehicle A. FIG. In the first control of the control sequence of FIG. 21, the electrical controller 72 is substantially configured to set predetermined control settings, as seen in FIG. As seen for example in Figure 22, each of the predetermined control settings preferably includes one or more of a suspension stiffness setting, a suspension travel setting, a rod height setting, a seat position setting, and a seat angle setting. The predetermined control settings of FIG. 22 are pre-stored in the memory device 72B of the electrical controller 72 .

例如，圖22之第一控制之預定控制設定包含一前阻尼器設定或懸架剛度設定，其中前懸架設定為一「軟」阻尼或剛度設定且後懸架設定為一「軟」阻尼或剛度設定。此外，例如，第一控制之預定控制設定包含一懸架行程設定，其中前懸架設定為一「長」行程設定且後懸架設定為一「短」行程設定。此外，例如，第一控制之預定控制設定包含一前後車座位置設定及一車座角度設定，其中車座S設定為一「後」位置設定及一「前端向上」設定。For example, the predetermined control settings for the first control of Figure 22 include a front damper setting or suspension stiffness setting, where the front suspension is set to a "soft" damping or stiffness setting and the rear suspension is set to a "soft" damping or stiffness setting. Also, for example, the predetermined control setting of the first control includes a suspension travel setting, wherein the front suspension is set to a "long" travel setting and the rear suspension is set to a "short" travel setting. In addition, for example, the predetermined control settings of the first control include a front and rear seat position setting and a seat angle setting, wherein the seat S is set to a "rear" position setting and a "front end up" setting.

若電控制器72在步驟S51判定佔用者或騎乘者未處於就座位置中，則電控制器72進行至步驟S53。替代地，可省略步驟S53、S54及S55之一或多者。若步驟S53、S54及S55全部省略，則電控制器72自步驟S51直接進行至步驟S56。在步驟S56中，電控制器72經組態以根據第二控制(圖23)來控制電致動器14，使得第二耦合部分42定位於第二(低)位置中，如下文將討論。If the electrical controller 72 determines in step S51 that the occupant or the rider is not in the seated position, the electrical controller 72 proceeds to step S53. Alternatively, one or more of steps S53, S54 and S55 may be omitted. If all steps S53, S54 and S55 are omitted, the electrical controller 72 directly proceeds from step S51 to step S56. In step S56, the electrical controller 72 is configured to control the electrical actuator 14 according to the second control (FIG. 23) such that the second coupling portion 42 is positioned in the second (low) position, as will be discussed below.

在步驟S53中，基於功率計78之一偵測結果來判定人力交通工具A之功率輸入小於或等於一預定功率值(例如200瓦特——使用者可改變)。若電控制器72判定騎乘者對人力交通工具A之一當前功率輸入大於預定功率輸入值，則電控制器72進行至步驟S52。如上文所提及，在步驟S52中，電控制器72執行第一控制(圖22)，其中基於預定控制設定來控制人力交通工具A之姿勢改變裝置。因此，在步驟S53中判定「否」之後，在步驟S52中，電控制器72經組態以在車座高度低於預定高度且佔用者未就座時判定功率輸入大於一預定功率值之後選擇性控制電致動器14，使得第二耦合部分42定位於第一位置中。In step S53, based on a detection result of the power meter 78, it is determined that the power input of the human vehicle A is less than or equal to a predetermined power value (eg, 200 watts—the user can change). If the electrical controller 72 determines that the rider's current power input to one of the human-powered vehicles A is greater than the predetermined power input value, the electrical controller 72 proceeds to step S52. As mentioned above, in step S52, the electric controller 72 performs the first control (FIG. 22) in which the posture changing device of the human-powered vehicle A is controlled based on a predetermined control setting. Therefore, after determining "No" in step S53, in step S52, the electrical controller 72 is configured to selectively after determining that the power input is greater than a predetermined power value when the seat height is lower than the predetermined height and the occupant is not seated The electric actuator 14 is controlled such that the second coupling portion 42 is positioned in the first position.

另一方面，在步驟S53中，若電控制器72判定騎乘者對人力交通工具A之一當前功率輸入小於或等於預定功率值，則電控制器72進行至步驟S54。替代地，若省略步驟S54及S55，則電控制器72直接進行至步驟S56。在步驟S56中，電控制器72經組態以根據第二控制(圖23)來控制電致動器14，使得第二耦合部分42定位於第一(低)位置中。換言之，在步驟S53中判定「是」之後且在省略步驟S54及S55或步驟S54及步驟S55中作出一「是」判定之後，在步驟56中，電控制器72經組態以在車座高度低於預定高度且佔用者未就座時判定功率輸入小於或等於預定功率值之後選擇性控制電致動器14，使得第二耦合部分42定位於第二位置中。On the other hand, in step S53, if the electric controller 72 determines that the rider's current power input to one of the human-powered vehicles A is less than or equal to the predetermined power value, the electric controller 72 proceeds to step S54. Alternatively, if steps S54 and S55 are omitted, the electrical controller 72 directly proceeds to step S56. In step S56, the electrical controller 72 is configured to control the electrical actuator 14 according to the second control (FIG. 23) such that the second coupling portion 42 is positioned in the first (low) position. In other words, after a "Yes" determination in step S53 and after steps S54 and S55 are omitted or a "Yes" determination is made in steps S54 and S55, in step 56, the electrical controller 72 is configured to operate at a low seat height The electric actuator 14 is selectively controlled such that the second coupling portion 42 is positioned in the second position after determining that the power input is less than or equal to the predetermined power value when the occupant is not seated at the predetermined height.

在步驟S54中，電控制器72基於踏頻感測器76之一偵測結果來判定人力交通工具A之踏頻是否小於或等於一預定踏頻值。若電控制器72判定人力交通工具A之一當前踏頻大於預定踏頻值(例如75 RPM——使用者可在40 RPM至90 RPM之間改變)，則電控制器72進行至步驟S52。如上文所提及，在步驟S52中，電控制器72執行第一控制(圖22)，其中基於預定控制設定來控制人力交通工具A之姿勢改變裝置。特定言之，在步驟S54中判定「否」之後，在步驟S52中，電控制器72經組態以在車座高度低於預定高度且佔用者未就座時判定踏頻大於一預定踏頻值之後選擇性控制電致動器14，使得第二耦合部分42定位於第一位置中。In step S54 , the electric controller 72 determines whether the cadence of the human-powered vehicle A is less than or equal to a predetermined cadence value based on a detection result of the cadence sensor 76 . If the electric controller 72 determines that the current cadence of one of the human-powered vehicles A is greater than a predetermined cadence value (eg, 75 RPM—the user can vary from 40 RPM to 90 RPM), the electric controller 72 proceeds to step S52. As mentioned above, in step S52, the electric controller 72 performs the first control (FIG. 22) in which the posture changing device of the human-powered vehicle A is controlled based on a predetermined control setting. Specifically, after determining "No" in step S54, in step S52, the electrical controller 72 is configured to determine that the cadence is greater than a predetermined cadence value when the seat height is lower than the predetermined height and the occupant is not seated The electric actuator 14 is then selectively controlled such that the second coupling portion 42 is positioned in the first position.

另一方面，在步驟S54中，若電控制器72判定人力交通工具A之一當前踏頻小於或等於預定踏頻值，則電控制器72進行至步驟S55。替代地，若省略步驟S55，則電控制器72直接進行至步驟S56。在步驟S56中，電控制器72經組態以根據第二控制(圖23)來控制電致動器14，使得第二耦合部分42定位於第一(低)位置中。換言之，在步驟S54中判定「是」之後且在省略步驟S55或在步驟S55中作出一「是」判定之後，在步驟S56中，電控制器72經組態以在車座高度低於預定高度且佔用者未就座時判定踏頻小於預定踏頻值之後選擇性控制電致動器14，使得第二耦合部分42定位於第二位置中。On the other hand, in step S54, if the electric controller 72 determines that the current cadence of one of the human-powered vehicles A is less than or equal to the predetermined cadence value, the electric controller 72 proceeds to step S55. Alternatively, if step S55 is omitted, the electrical controller 72 proceeds directly to step S56. In step S56, the electrical controller 72 is configured to control the electrical actuator 14 according to the second control (FIG. 23) such that the second coupling portion 42 is positioned in the first (low) position. In other words, after a "YES" determination in step S54 and after step S55 is omitted or a "YES" determination is made in step S55, in step S56, the electrical controller 72 is configured to operate when the seat height is lower than the predetermined height and The electric actuator 14 is selectively controlled after determining that the cadence is less than the predetermined cadence value when the occupant is not seated so that the second coupling portion 42 is positioned in the second position.

在步驟S55中，電控制器72基於前進速度感測器74之一偵測結果來判定人力交通工具A之前進速度是否小於或等於一預定速度值。若電控制器72判定人力交通工具A之一當前前進車速大於預定速度值(例如30 km/h——使用者可在5 km/h至40 km/h之間改變)，則電控制器72進行至步驟S52。如上文所提及，在步驟S52中，電控制器72執行第一控制(圖22)，其中基於預定控制設定來控制人力交通工具A之姿勢改變裝置。特定言之，在步驟S55中判定「否」之後，在步驟S52中，電控制器72經組態以在車座高度低於預定高度且佔用者未就座時判定前進速度大於一預定速度值之後選擇性控制電致動器14，使得第二耦合部分42定位於第一位置中。In step S55 , the electric controller 72 determines whether the forward speed of the human vehicle A is less than or equal to a predetermined speed value based on a detection result of the forward speed sensor 74 . If the electrical controller 72 determines that the current forward speed of one of the human-powered vehicles A is greater than a predetermined speed value (eg 30 km/h - the user can vary between 5 km/h and 40 km/h), the electrical controller 72 Proceed to step S52. As mentioned above, in step S52, the electric controller 72 performs the first control (FIG. 22) in which the posture changing device of the human-powered vehicle A is controlled based on a predetermined control setting. Specifically, after determining "NO" in step S55, in step S52, the electrical controller 72 is configured to determine that the forward speed is greater than a predetermined speed value when the seat height is below the predetermined height and the occupant is not seated The electric actuator 14 is selectively controlled such that the second coupling portion 42 is positioned in the first position.

另一方面，在步驟S55中，若電控制器72判定人力交通工具A之一當前前進車速小於或等於預定速度值，則電控制器72進行至步驟S56。如上文所提及，在步驟S56中，電控制器72執行第二控制(圖23)，其中基於預定控制設定來控制人力交通工具A之姿勢改變裝置。換言之，在步驟S55中判定「是」之後，在步驟S56中，電控制器72經組態以在車座高度低於預定高度且佔用者未就座時判定前進速度小於或等於預定速度值之後選擇性控制電致動器14，使得第二耦合部分42定位於第二位置中。On the other hand, in step S55, if the electric controller 72 determines that the current forward vehicle speed of one of the human-powered vehicles A is less than or equal to the predetermined speed value, the electric controller 72 proceeds to step S56. As mentioned above, in step S56, the electric controller 72 performs the second control (FIG. 23) in which the posture changing device of the human-powered vehicle A is controlled based on predetermined control settings. In other words, after determining "Yes" in step S55, in step S56, the electrical controller 72 is configured to select the forward speed after determining that the forward speed is less than or equal to the predetermined speed value when the seat height is lower than the predetermined height and the occupant is not seated The electrical actuator 14 is sexually controlled such that the second coupling portion 42 is positioned in the second position.

在步驟S56中，電控制器72執行第二控制(圖23)，其中由電致動器14將第二耦合部分42設定為第二(低)位置，使得桿12具有一低高度。圖21之控制程序之第二控制(圖23)亦包含人力交通工具A之其他姿勢改變裝置之複數個預定控制設定。在圖21之控制程序之第二控制中，電控制器72基本上經組態以設定預定控制設定，如圖23中所見。例如圖23中所見，預定控制設定之各者較佳地包含一懸架剛度設定、一懸架行程設定、一桿高度設定、一車座位置設定及一車座角度設定之一或多者。圖23之預定控制設定預存於電控制器72之記憶體裝置72B中。In step S56, the electric controller 72 performs a second control (FIG. 23) in which the second coupling portion 42 is set to the second (low) position by the electric actuator 14 so that the rod 12 has a low height. The second control of the control program of FIG. 21 ( FIG. 23 ) also includes a plurality of predetermined control settings for the other posture changing devices of the human vehicle A. FIG. In the second control of the control sequence of FIG. 21, the electrical controller 72 is substantially configured to set predetermined control settings, as seen in FIG. As seen, for example, in Figure 23, each of the predetermined control settings preferably includes one or more of a suspension stiffness setting, a suspension travel setting, a rod height setting, a seat position setting, and a seat angle setting. The predetermined control settings of FIG. 23 are pre-stored in the memory device 72B of the electrical controller 72 .

例如，圖23之第二控制之預定控制設定包含一前阻尼器設定或懸架剛度設定，其中前懸架設定為一「硬」阻尼或剛度設定且後懸架設定為一「硬」阻尼或剛度設定。此外，例如，第二控制之預定控制設定包含一懸架行程設定，其中前懸架設定為「短」行程設定且後懸架設定為一「長」行程設定。此外，例如，第二控制之預定控制設定包含一前後車座位置設定及一車座角度設定，其中車座S設定為一「 前」位置設定及一「前端向下」設定。For example, the predetermined control settings for the second control of Figure 23 include a front damper setting or suspension stiffness setting, where the front suspension is set to a "hard" damping or stiffness setting and the rear suspension is set to a "hard" damping or stiffness setting. Also, for example, the predetermined control setting of the second control includes a suspension travel setting, wherein the front suspension is set to a "short" travel setting and the rear suspension is set to a "long" travel setting. In addition, for example, the predetermined control settings of the second control include a front and rear seat position setting and a seat angle setting, wherein the seat S is set to a "front" position setting and a "front end down" setting.

返回參考圖21之步驟S50，電控制器72判定高度可調座桿120之操作狀態。若電控制器72判定車座高度高於預定車座高度(例如一中間車座高度位置)，則判定第二操作狀態存在。因此，電控制器72進行至步驟S57。Referring back to step S50 of FIG. 21 , the electric controller 72 determines the operation state of the height adjustable seat post 120 . If the electric controller 72 determines that the seat height is higher than a predetermined seat height (eg, a middle seat height position), it is determined that the second operating state exists. Therefore, the electric controller 72 proceeds to step S57.

在步驟S57中，電控制器72判定一佔用者或騎乘者是處於一就座位置還是未就座位置中。車座S可具有用於偵測一佔用者或騎乘者是處於一就座位置還是未就座位置中之車座負載感測器121。若電控制器72判定佔用者或騎乘者未處於就座位置中，則電控制器72進行至步驟S58。In step S57, the electrical controller 72 determines whether an occupant or rider is in a seated or unseated position. The saddle S may have a saddle load sensor 121 for detecting whether an occupant or rider is in a seated or unseated position. If the electrical controller 72 determines that the occupant or rider is not in the seated position, the electrical controller 72 proceeds to step S58.

替代地，可省略步驟S58、S59及S60之一或多者。若步驟S58、S59及S60全部省略，則電控制器72可經組態以視需要及/或視情況自步驟S51直接進行至步驟S56、S61及S64之一者。在步驟S56、S61及S64中，電控制器72經組態以根據圖23、圖24及圖25之控制之一者來控制電致動器14，使得第二耦合部分42定位於第一(高)位置、第二(低)位置或第三(中間)位置之一者中，如下文將討論。Alternatively, one or more of steps S58, S59 and S60 may be omitted. If steps S58, S59 and S60 are all omitted, the electrical controller 72 may be configured to proceed directly from step S51 to one of steps S56, S61 and S64 as needed and/or as appropriate. In steps S56, S61 and S64, the electrical controller 72 is configured to control the electrical actuator 14 according to one of the controls of FIGS. 23, 24 and 25 such that the second coupling portion 42 is positioned at the first ( in one of the high) position, the second (low) position, or the third (middle) position, as will be discussed below.

在步驟S58中，基於功率計78之一偵測結果，人力交通工具A之功率輸入小於或等於一預定功率值(例如200瓦特——使用者可改變)。若電控制器72判定騎乘者對人力交通工具A之一當前功率輸入大於預定功率輸入值，則電控制器72進行至步驟S64。在步驟S64中，電控制器72執行第四控制(圖25)，其中基於預定控制設定來控制人力交通工具A之姿勢改變裝置。特定言之，在步驟S58中判定「否」之後，在步驟S64中，電控制器72經組態以在車座高度高於預定高度且佔用者未就座時判定功率輸入大於一預定功率值之後選擇性控制電致動器14，使得第二耦合部分42定位於第一位置中。In step S58, based on a detection result of the power meter 78, the power input of the human vehicle A is less than or equal to a predetermined power value (eg, 200 watts - user can change). If the electrical controller 72 determines that the rider's current power input to one of the human-powered vehicles A is greater than the predetermined power input value, the electrical controller 72 proceeds to step S64. In step S64, the electric controller 72 executes the fourth control (FIG. 25) in which the posture changing device of the human vehicle A is controlled based on a predetermined control setting. Specifically, after determining "NO" in step S58, in step S64, the electrical controller 72 is configured to determine that the power input is greater than a predetermined power value when the seat height is above a predetermined height and the occupant is not seated The electric actuator 14 is selectively controlled such that the second coupling portion 42 is positioned in the first position.

更具體言之，在步驟S64中，電控制器72執行第四控制(圖25)，其中由電致動器14將第二耦合部分42設定為第一(高)位置，使得桿12具有一高高度。圖21之控制程序之第四控制(圖25)亦包含人力交通工具A之其他姿勢改變裝置之複數個預定控制設定。在圖21之控制程序之第四控制中，電控制器72基本上經組態以設定預定控制設定，如圖25中所見。例如圖25中所見，預定控制設定之各者較佳地包含一懸架剛度設定、一懸架行程設定、一桿高度設定、一車座位置設定及一車座角度設定之一或多者。圖25之預定控制設定預存於電控制器72之記憶體裝置72B中。More specifically, in step S64, the electric controller 72 executes the fourth control (FIG. 25) in which the second coupling portion 42 is set to the first (high) position by the electric actuator 14 so that the lever 12 has a high altitude. The fourth control of the control program of FIG. 21 ( FIG. 25 ) also includes a plurality of predetermined control settings for the other posture changing devices of the human vehicle A. FIG. In the fourth control of the control sequence of FIG. 21, the electrical controller 72 is basically configured to set predetermined control settings, as seen in FIG. As seen for example in Figure 25, each of the predetermined control settings preferably includes one or more of a suspension stiffness setting, a suspension travel setting, a rod height setting, a seat position setting, and a seat angle setting. The predetermined control settings of FIG. 25 are pre-stored in the memory device 72B of the electrical controller 72 .

例如，圖25之第四控制之預定控制設定包含一前阻尼器設定或懸架剛度設定，其中前懸架設定為一「軟」阻尼或剛度設定且後懸架設定為一「軟」阻尼或剛度設定。此外，例如，第四控制之預定控制設定包含一懸架行程設定，其中前懸架設定為一「長」行程設定且後懸架設定為一「短」行程設定。此外，例如，第四控制之預定控制設定包含一前後車座位置設定及一車座角度設定，其中車座S設定為一「中間」位置設定及一「預設」或「水平」設定。For example, the predetermined control settings for the fourth control of Figure 25 include a front damper setting or suspension stiffness setting, where the front suspension is set to a "soft" damping or stiffness setting and the rear suspension is set to a "soft" damping or stiffness setting. Also, for example, the predetermined control setting of the fourth control includes a suspension travel setting, wherein the front suspension is set to a "long" travel setting and the rear suspension is set to a "short" travel setting. In addition, for example, the predetermined control settings of the fourth control include a front and rear seat position setting and a seat angle setting, wherein the seat S is set to a "middle" position setting and a "default" or "horizontal" setting.

另一方面，在步驟S58中，若電控制器72判定騎乘者對人力交通工具A之一當前功率輸入小於或等於預定功率值，則電控制器72進行至步驟S59。替代地，若省略步驟S59及S60，則電控制器72可經組態以視需要及/或視情況自步驟S58直接進行至步驟S56。因此，在步驟S58中判定「否」之後且在省略步驟S59及S60或在步驟S59及S60中作出一「是」判定之後，在步驟S56 (圖23之第二控制)中，電控制器72經組態以在車座高度高於預定高度且佔用者未就座時判定功率輸入小於或等於預定功率值之後選擇性控制電致動器14，使得第二耦合部分42定位於第二位置中。On the other hand, in step S58, if the electric controller 72 determines that the rider's current power input to one of the human-powered vehicles A is less than or equal to the predetermined power value, the electric controller 72 proceeds to step S59. Alternatively, if steps S59 and S60 are omitted, the electrical controller 72 may be configured to proceed directly from step S58 to step S56 as needed and/or as appropriate. Therefore, after determining "No" in step S58 and after omitting steps S59 and S60 or making a "yes" determination in steps S59 and S60, in step S56 (the second control of FIG. 23 ), the electrical controller 72 The electric actuator 14 is configured to selectively control the electric actuator 14 such that the second coupling portion 42 is positioned in the second position after the power input is determined to be less than or equal to the predetermined power value when the seat height is above a predetermined height and the occupant is not seated.

在步驟S59中，電控制器72基於踏頻感測器76之一偵測結果來判定人力交通工具A之踏頻是否小於或等於一預定踏頻值。若電控制器72判定人力交通工具A之一當前踏頻大於預定踏頻值(例如75 RPM——使用者可在40 RPM至90 RPM之間改變)，則電控制器72進行至步驟S61。如上文所提及，在步驟S61中，電控制器72執行第三控制(圖24)，其中基於預定控制設定來控制人力交通工具A之姿勢改變裝置。特定言之，在步驟S59中判定「否」之後，在步驟S61中，電控制器72經組態以在車座高度低於預定高度且佔用者未就座時判定踏頻大於一預定踏頻值之後選擇性控制電致動器14，使得第二耦合部分42定位於一第三位置中。In step S59 , the electric controller 72 determines whether the cadence of the human vehicle A is less than or equal to a predetermined cadence value based on a detection result of the cadence sensor 76 . If the electric controller 72 determines that the current cadence of one of the human-powered vehicles A is greater than a predetermined cadence value (eg, 75 RPM—the user can change from 40 RPM to 90 RPM), the electric controller 72 proceeds to step S61. As mentioned above, in step S61, the electric controller 72 performs the third control (FIG. 24) in which the posture changing device of the human-powered vehicle A is controlled based on the predetermined control setting. Specifically, after determining "No" in step S59, in step S61, the electrical controller 72 is configured to determine that the cadence is greater than a predetermined cadence value when the seat height is lower than the predetermined height and the occupant is not seated The electric actuator 14 is then selectively controlled such that the second coupling portion 42 is positioned in a third position.

在步驟S61中，電控制器72執行第三控制(圖24)，其中由電致動器14將第二耦合部分42設定為第三(中間)位置，使得桿12具有一中間高度。圖21之控制程序之第三控制(圖24)亦包含人力交通工具A之其他姿勢改變裝置之複數個預定控制設定。在圖21之控制程序之第三控制中，電控制器72基本上經組態以設定預定控制設定，如圖24中所見。例如圖24中所見，預定控制設定之各者較佳地包含一懸架剛度設定、一懸架行程設定、一桿高度設定、一車座位置設定及一車座角度設定之一或多者。圖24之預定控制設定預存於電控制器72之記憶體裝置72B中。In step S61, the electric controller 72 performs a third control (FIG. 24) in which the second coupling portion 42 is set to the third (intermediate) position by the electric actuator 14 so that the rod 12 has an intermediate height. The third control of the control program of FIG. 21 ( FIG. 24 ) also includes a plurality of predetermined control settings for the other posture changing devices of the human vehicle A. FIG. In the third control of the control sequence of FIG. 21, the electrical controller 72 is basically configured to set predetermined control settings, as seen in FIG. As seen for example in Figure 24, each of the predetermined control settings preferably includes one or more of a suspension stiffness setting, a suspension travel setting, a rod height setting, a seat position setting, and a seat angle setting. The predetermined control settings of FIG. 24 are pre-stored in the memory device 72B of the electrical controller 72 .

例如，圖24之第三控制之預定控制設定包含一前阻尼器設定或懸架剛度設定，其中前懸架設定為一「中等」阻尼或剛度設定且後懸架設定為一「中等」阻尼或剛度設定。此外，例如，第三控制之預定控制設定包含一懸架行程設定，其中前懸架設定為一「中間」行程設定且後懸架設定為一「短」行程設定。此外，例如，第三控制之預定控制設定包含一前後車座位置設定及一車座角度設定，其中車座S設定為一「中間」位置設定及一「預設」或「水平」設定。For example, the predetermined control settings for the third control of Figure 24 include a front damper setting or suspension stiffness setting, where the front suspension is set to a "medium" damping or stiffness setting and the rear suspension is set to a "medium" damping or stiffness setting. Also, for example, the predetermined control setting for the third control includes a suspension travel setting, wherein the front suspension is set to a "medium" travel setting and the rear suspension is set to a "short" travel setting. In addition, for example, the predetermined control settings of the third control include a front and rear seat position setting and a seat angle setting, wherein the seat S is set to a "middle" position setting and a "default" or "horizontal" setting.

另一方面，在步驟S59中，若電控制器72判定人力交通工具A之一當前踏頻小於或等於預定踏頻值，則電控制器72進行至步驟S60。替代地，若省略步驟S60，則電控制器72可經組態以自步驟S58直接進行至步驟S56。換言之，在步驟S59中判定「是」之後且在省略步驟S60或在步驟S60中作出一「是」判定之後，在步驟S56中，電控制器72經組態以在車座高度高於預定高度且佔用者未就座時判定踏頻小於預定踏頻值之後選擇性控制電致動器14，使得第二耦合部分42定位於第二位置中。On the other hand, in step S59, if the electric controller 72 determines that the current cadence of one of the human-powered vehicles A is less than or equal to the predetermined cadence value, the electric controller 72 proceeds to step S60. Alternatively, if step S60 is omitted, the electrical controller 72 may be configured to proceed directly from step S58 to step S56. In other words, after a "Yes" determination in step S59 and after step S60 is omitted or a "Yes" determination is made in step S60, in step S56, the electrical controller 72 is configured to operate when the seat height is higher than the predetermined height and The electric actuator 14 is selectively controlled after determining that the cadence is less than the predetermined cadence value when the occupant is not seated so that the second coupling portion 42 is positioned in the second position.

在步驟S60中，電控制器72基於前進速度感測器74之一偵測結果來判定人力交通工具A之前進速度是否小於或等於一預定速度值。若電控制器72判定人力交通工具A之一當前前進車速大於預定速度值(例如30 km/h——使用者可在5 km/h至40 km/h之間改變)，則電控制器72進行至步驟S61。如上文所提及，在步驟S61中，電控制器72經組態以根據圖24之第三控制來控制電致動器14，使得第二耦合部分42定位於第三(中間)位置中，如下文將討論。因此，在步驟S60中判定「否」之後，在步驟S61 (圖24之第三控制)中，電控制器72經組態以在車座高度高於預定高度且佔用者未就座時判定前進速度大於一預定速度值之後選擇性控制電致動器14，使得第二耦合部分42定位於第一位置與第二位置之間的第三位置中。In step S60, the electric controller 72 determines whether the forward speed of the human vehicle A is less than or equal to a predetermined speed value based on a detection result of the forward speed sensor 74. If the electrical controller 72 determines that the current forward speed of one of the human-powered vehicles A is greater than a predetermined speed value (eg 30 km/h - the user can vary between 5 km/h and 40 km/h), the electrical controller 72 Proceed to step S61. As mentioned above, in step S61 the electrical controller 72 is configured to control the electrical actuator 14 according to the third control of FIG. 24 such that the second coupling portion 42 is positioned in the third (intermediate) position, As will be discussed below. Therefore, after determining "NO" in step S60, in step S61 (the third control of FIG. 24), the electrical controller 72 is configured to determine the forward speed when the seat height is higher than a predetermined height and the occupant is not seated The electric actuator 14 is selectively controlled after greater than a predetermined speed value such that the second coupling portion 42 is positioned in a third position between the first position and the second position.

另一方面，在步驟S60中，若電控制器72判定人力交通工具A之一當前前進車速小於或等於預定速度值，則電控制器72進行至步驟S56。如上文所提及，在步驟S56中，電控制器72執行第二控制(圖23)，其中基於預定控制設定來控制人力交通工具A之姿勢改變裝置，如上文所討論。特定言之，在步驟S60中判定「是」之後，在步驟S56中，電控制器72經組態以在車座高度高於預定高度且佔用者未就座時判定前進速度小於或等於預定速度值之後選擇性控制電致動器14，使得第二耦合部分42定位於第二位置中。On the other hand, in step S60, if the electric controller 72 determines that the current forward vehicle speed of one of the human-powered vehicles A is less than or equal to the predetermined speed value, the electric controller 72 proceeds to step S56. As mentioned above, in step S56, the electric controller 72 performs a second control (FIG. 23) in which the posture changing device of the human-powered vehicle A is controlled based on predetermined control settings, as discussed above. In particular, after determining "Yes" in step S60, in step S56, the electrical controller 72 is configured to determine that the forward speed is less than or equal to the predetermined speed value when the seat height is higher than the predetermined height and the occupant is not seated The electric actuator 14 is then selectively controlled such that the second coupling portion 42 is positioned in the second position.

返回參考步驟S57中，電控制器72判定一佔用者或騎乘者是處於一就座位置還是未就座位置中。若電控制器72在步驟S57中判定佔用者或騎乘者處於就座位置中，則電控制器72進行至步驟S62。Referring back to step S57, the electrical controller 72 determines whether an occupant or rider is in a seated or unseated position. If the electrical controller 72 determines in step S57 that the occupant or the rider is in the seated position, the electrical controller 72 proceeds to step S62.

在步驟S62中，基於功率計78之一偵測結果，人力交通工具A之功率輸入小於或等於一預定功率值(例如200瓦特——使用者可改變)。若電控制器72判定騎乘者對人力交通工具A之一當前功率輸入大於預定功率輸入值，則電控制器72進行至步驟S64。在步驟S64中，電控制器72執行第四控制(圖25)，其中基於預定控制設定來控制人力交通工具A之姿勢改變裝置，如上文所討論。因此，在步驟S62中判定「否」之後，在步驟S64 (圖25之第四控制)中，電控制器72經組態以在車座高度高於預定高度且佔用者就座時判定功率輸入大於一預定功率值之後選擇性控制電致動器14，使得第二耦合部分42定位於第一位置中。In step S62, based on a detection result of the power meter 78, the power input of the human vehicle A is less than or equal to a predetermined power value (eg, 200 watts - user can change). If the electrical controller 72 determines that the rider's current power input to one of the human-powered vehicles A is greater than the predetermined power input value, the electrical controller 72 proceeds to step S64. In step S64, the electrical controller 72 performs a fourth control (FIG. 25) in which the posture changing device of the human vehicle A is controlled based on predetermined control settings, as discussed above. Therefore, after determining "NO" in step S62, in step S64 (fourth control of FIG. 25 ), the electrical controller 72 is configured to determine that the power input is greater than The electric actuator 14 is selectively controlled after a predetermined power value such that the second coupling portion 42 is positioned in the first position.

另一方面，在步驟S62中，若電控制器72判定騎乘者對人力交通工具A之一當前功率輸入小於或等於預定功率值，則電控制器72進行至步驟S63。替代地，若省略步驟S63，則電控制器72可經組態以視需要及/或視情況自步驟S58直接進行至步驟S61。在步驟S61中，電控制器72經組態以根據圖24之第三控制來控制電致動器14，使得第二耦合部分42定位於第三(中間)位置中。特定言之，在步驟S62中判定「是」之後且在省略步驟S63或在步驟S63中作出一「是」判定之後，在步驟S61中，電控制器72經組態以在車座高度高於預定高度且佔用者就座時判定功率輸入小於或等於預定功率值之後選擇性控制電致動器14，使得第二耦合部分42定位於第一位置與第二位置之間的第三位置(中間)中。On the other hand, in step S62, if the electric controller 72 determines that the rider's current power input to one of the human-powered vehicles A is less than or equal to the predetermined power value, the electric controller 72 proceeds to step S63. Alternatively, if step S63 is omitted, the electrical controller 72 may be configured to proceed directly from step S58 to step S61 as needed and/or as appropriate. In step S61, the electrical controller 72 is configured to control the electrical actuator 14 according to the third control of FIG. 24 such that the second coupling portion 42 is positioned in the third (intermediate) position. Specifically, after determining "Yes" in step S62 and after omitting step S63 or making a "Yes" determination in step S63, in step S61, the electric controller 72 is configured to The electrical actuator 14 is selectively controlled so that the second coupling portion 42 is positioned in a third position (intermediate) between the first position and the second position after determining that the power input is less than or equal to a predetermined power value at the height and when the occupant is seated middle.

在步驟S63中，電控制器72基於踏頻感測器76之一偵測結果來判定人力交通工具A之踏頻是否小於或等於一預定踏頻值。若電控制器72判定人力交通工具A之一當前踏頻大於預定踏頻值(例如75 RPM——使用者可在40 RPM至90 RPM之間改變)，則電控制器72進行至步驟S61。如上文所提及，在步驟S61中，電控制器72執行第三控制(圖24)，其中基於預定控制設定來控制人力交通工具A之姿勢改變裝置。因此，在步驟S63中判定「否」之後，在步驟S61 (圖24之第三控制)中，電控制器72經組態以在車座高度高於預定高度且佔用者就座時判定踏頻大於一預定踏頻值之後選擇性控制電致動器14，使得第二耦合部分42定位於第一位置中。In step S63 , the electric controller 72 determines whether the cadence of the human vehicle A is less than or equal to a predetermined cadence value based on a detection result of the cadence sensor 76 . If the electric controller 72 determines that the current cadence of one of the human-powered vehicles A is greater than a predetermined cadence value (eg, 75 RPM—the user can change from 40 RPM to 90 RPM), the electric controller 72 proceeds to step S61. As mentioned above, in step S61, the electric controller 72 performs the third control (FIG. 24) in which the posture changing device of the human-powered vehicle A is controlled based on the predetermined control setting. Therefore, after determining "NO" in step S63, in step S61 (the third control of FIG. 24), the electrical controller 72 is configured to determine that the cadence is greater than The electric actuator 14 is selectively controlled after a predetermined cadence value such that the second coupling portion 42 is positioned in the first position.

另一方面，在步驟S63中，若電控制器72判定人力交通工具A之一當前踏頻小於或等於預定踏頻值，則電控制器72進行至步驟S64。在步驟S64中，電控制器72執行第四控制(圖25)，其中基於預定控制設定來控制人力交通工具A之姿勢改變裝置，如上文所討論。特定言之，在步驟S63中判定「是」之後，在步驟S64中，電控制器72經組態以在車座高度高於預定高度且佔用者就座時判定踏頻小於預定踏頻值之後選擇性控制電致動器14，使得第二耦合部分42定位於第一位置與第二位置之間的一第三位置中。On the other hand, in step S63, if the electric controller 72 determines that the current cadence of one of the human-powered vehicles A is less than or equal to the predetermined cadence value, the electric controller 72 proceeds to step S64. In step S64, the electrical controller 72 performs a fourth control (FIG. 25) in which the posture changing device of the human vehicle A is controlled based on predetermined control settings, as discussed above. Specifically, after determining "Yes" in step S63, in step S64, the electrical controller 72 is configured to select the cadence after determining that the cadence is less than the predetermined cadence value when the seat height is higher than the predetermined height and the occupant is seated. The electrical actuator 14 is controlled so that the second coupling portion 42 is positioned in a third position between the first position and the second position.

現將參考圖26之流程圖來描述由電控制器72執行之一控制程序之一第六實例。圖26之控制程序由電控制器72依一規定時間間隔執行。在圖26之控制程序中，電控制器72經組態以選擇性控制以下之一或多者：(1)用於控制桿12之操作狀態之電致動器14；(2)用於控制前懸架16之操作狀態之電致動器16A及16B；(3)用於控制後懸架18之操作狀態之電致動器18A及18B；及(4)用於控制座桿120之操作狀態之車座高度致動器120A、車座定位致動器120C及車座角度致動器120D。A sixth example of a control procedure executed by the electrical controller 72 will now be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 26 . The control routine of FIG. 26 is executed by the electric controller 72 at a predetermined time interval. In the control program of FIG. 26, the electrical controller 72 is configured to selectively control one or more of the following: (1) the electrical actuator 14 for controlling the operational state of the lever 12; (2) for controlling Electric actuators 16A and 16B for the operating state of the front suspension 16; (3) electric actuators 18A and 18B for controlling the operating state of the rear suspension 18; and (4) electric actuators for controlling the operating state of the seatpost 120 A seat height actuator 120A, a seat positioning actuator 120C, and a seat angle actuator 120D.

控制程序由電控制器72依一規定時間間隔執行。在圖26之控制程序中，電控制器72經組態以選擇性控制以下之一或多者：(1)用於控制桿12之操作狀態之電致動器14；(2)用於控制前懸架16之操作狀態之電致動器16A及16B；(3)用於控制後懸架18之操作狀態之電致動器18A及18B；及(4)用於控制座桿120之操作狀態之車座高度致動器120A、車座定位致動器120C及車座角度致動器120D。The control program is executed by the electric controller 72 at a prescribed time interval. In the control program of FIG. 26, the electrical controller 72 is configured to selectively control one or more of the following: (1) the electrical actuator 14 for controlling the operational state of the lever 12; (2) for controlling Electric actuators 16A and 16B for the operating state of the front suspension 16; (3) electric actuators 18A and 18B for controlling the operating state of the rear suspension 18; and (4) electric actuators for controlling the operating state of the seatpost 120 A seat height actuator 120A, a seat positioning actuator 120C, and a seat angle actuator 120D.

在圖26之控制程序中，電控制器72基本上經組態以設定複數個預定控制設定。例如，預定控制設定之各者較佳地包含一懸架剛度設定、一懸架行程設定、一桿高度設定、一車座位置設定及一車座角度設定之一或多者。儘管圖26之控制程序經組態以控制人力交通工具A之一懸架剛度設定、一懸架行程設定、一桿高度設定、一車座位置設定及一車座角度設定，但應自本發明明白，可視需要及/或視情況省略一些設定。例如，圖26之控制程序可經組態以僅控制桿高度設定，或可經組態以控制人力交通工具A之桿高度設定、車座位置設定及/或車座角度設定之一或多者。In the control program of Figure 26, the electrical controller 72 is basically configured to set a plurality of predetermined control settings. For example, each of the predetermined control settings preferably includes one or more of a suspension stiffness setting, a suspension travel setting, a lever height setting, a seat position setting, and a seat angle setting. Although the control routine of FIG. 26 is configured to control a suspension stiffness setting, a suspension travel setting, a lever height setting, a seat position setting, and a seat angle setting for human vehicle A, it should be understood from the present invention that, as desired, And/or omit some settings as appropriate. For example, the control program of FIG. 26 may be configured to control only the stick height setting, or may be configured to control one or more of the stick height setting, seat position setting, and/or seat angle setting of Human Vehicle A.

如下文將解釋，電控制器72經組態以至少部分在判定高度可調座桿120之車座高度高於或低於一預定高度之後選擇預定控制設定之一者。As will be explained below, the electrical controller 72 is configured to select one of the predetermined control settings at least in part after determining that the seat height of the height adjustable seatpost 120 is above or below a predetermined height.

在圖26之控制程序之執行期間，電控制器72基本上經組態以藉由選擇性啟動電致動器(即，行程量致動器16A、阻尼力致動器16B、行程量致動器18A、阻尼力致動器18B、車座高度致動器120A、車座定位致動器120C及車座角度致動器120D)來選擇性控制姿勢改變裝置。此外，在圖26之控制程序中，除桿12之位置之外，亦設定前懸架16及後懸架18之一或兩者之一剛度狀態。儘管人力交通工具A之姿勢改變裝置之所有電致動器14、16A、16B、18A、18B、120A、120C及120D由圖26之控制程序控制，但應自本發明明白，圖26之控制程序可經修改使得僅人力交通工具A之姿勢改變裝置之一或多者由圖26之控制程序控制。During execution of the control routine of FIG. 26, the electrical controller 72 is substantially configured to actuate by selectively activating the electrical actuators (ie, stroke volume actuator 16A, damping force actuator 16B, stroke volume actuation actuator 18A, damping force actuator 18B, seat height actuator 120A, seat positioning actuator 120C, and seat angle actuator 120D) to selectively control the posture changing device. In addition, in the control routine of FIG. 26, in addition to the position of the lever 12, the rigidity state of one or both of the front suspension 16 and the rear suspension 18 is also set. Although all electric actuators 14, 16A, 16B, 18A, 18B, 120A, 120C and 120D of the posture changing device of human vehicle A are controlled by the control program of FIG. 26, it should be understood from the present invention that the control program of FIG. 26 It can be modified so that only one or more of the posture changing devices of human vehicle A are controlled by the control program of FIG. 26 .

圖26之控制程序可回應於偵測到藉由操作使用者可操作輸入裝置32來調整座桿120或回應於偵測到使用者可操作輸入裝置34之操作(即，一換檔開關之操作)而引發。在圖26之控制程序由電控制器72引發之後，控制程序進行至步驟S70。因此，電控制器72經組態以回應於一輸入裝置調整人力交通工具A之一車座高度及人力交通工具A之一齒輪比之至少一者之操作而開始控制程序以控制電致動器14。The control routine of FIG. 26 may be responsive to detecting that the seatpost 120 is adjusted by operating the user-operable input device 32 or in response to detecting the operation of the user-operable input device 34 (ie, the operation of a shift switch) ) is triggered. After the control procedure of FIG. 26 is initiated by the electric controller 72, the control procedure proceeds to step S70. Accordingly, the electrical controller 72 is configured to initiate a control program to control the electrical actuator 14 in response to an input device operating to adjust at least one of a seat height of the human vehicle A and a gear ratio of the human vehicle A .

在步驟S70中，電控制器72判定高度可調座桿120之一操作狀態。特定言之，電控制器72判定車座高度是否高於一預定車座高度(例如一中間車座高度位置)。因此，高度可調座桿120之操作狀態包含高度可調座桿120之一車座高度高於或低於一預定高度。類似於先前控制程序，座桿120之操作(向下/延伸)狀態基於關於座桿120之操作狀態之來自一座桿位置感測器120B之一偵測結果。特定言之，電控制器72判定座桿120是否設定為第一操作狀態(第一或低車座位置)、第二操作狀態(第二或高車座位置)或第三操作狀態(第三或中間車座位置)。第一或低車座位置可為一第一位置範圍而非一單一各別位置。同樣地，第二或高車座位置可為一第二位置範圍而非一單一各別位置，且第三或中間車座位置可為一第三位置範圍而非一單一各別位置。若電控制器72判定第一操作狀態存在(即，座桿120低於預定高度，諸如第三或中間車座位置)，則電控制器72進行至步驟S71。In step S70 , the electric controller 72 determines one of the operating states of the height adjustable seat post 120 . Specifically, the electrical controller 72 determines whether the seat height is higher than a predetermined seat height (eg, an intermediate seat height position). Therefore, the operating state of the height-adjustable seat post 120 includes a seat height of the height-adjustable seat post 120 being higher or lower than a predetermined height. Similar to the previous control procedure, the operational (down/extended) state of the seatpost 120 is based on a detection result from the seatpost position sensor 120B regarding the operational state of the seatpost 120 . Specifically, the electrical controller 72 determines whether the seatpost 120 is set to a first operating state (first or low seat position), a second operating state (second or high seat position), or a third operating state (third or intermediate position) seat position). The first or low seat position may be a first range of positions rather than a single individual position. Likewise, the second or high seat position may be a second range of positions rather than a single respective position, and the third or middle seat position may be a third range of positions rather than a single respective position. If the electrical controller 72 determines that the first operating state exists (ie, the seat post 120 is below a predetermined height, such as the third or middle seat position), the electrical controller 72 proceeds to step S71.

在步驟S71中，電控制器72使用位置感測器22B來判定人力交通工具A之齒輪比是否為一第一預定值(例如0.8之一齒輪比)。第一預定值基於可用於傳動系DT之齒輪比來設定。若電控制器72判定人力交通工具A之齒輪比係第一預定值，則電控制器72進行至步驟S72。另一方面，若電控制器72判定人力交通工具A之齒輪比不是第一預定值，則電控制器72進行至步驟S73。In step S71, the electric controller 72 uses the position sensor 22B to determine whether the gear ratio of the human vehicle A is a first predetermined value (eg, a gear ratio of 0.8). The first predetermined value is set based on the gear ratio available for the driveline DT. If the electric controller 72 determines that the gear ratio of the human vehicle A is the first predetermined value, the electric controller 72 proceeds to step S72. On the other hand, if the electric controller 72 determines that the gear ratio of the human vehicle A is not the first predetermined value, the electric controller 72 proceeds to step S73.

在步驟S72中，電控制器72執行一控制，其中由電致動器14將第二耦合部分42設定為第二(低)位置，使得桿12具有一低高度。步驟S72之控制亦包含人力交通工具A之其他姿勢改變裝置之複數個預定控制設定。例如，在步驟S72之控制中，預定控制設定包含一前阻尼器設定或懸架剛度設定，其中前懸架設定為一「硬」阻尼或剛度設定且後懸架設定為一「硬」阻尼或剛度設定。此外，例如，第一控制之預定控制設定包含一懸架行程設定，其中前懸架設定為一「短」行程設定且後懸架設定為一「長」行程設定。此外，例如，第一控制之預定控制設定包含一前後車座位置設定及一車座角度設定，其中車座S設定為一「前」位置設定及一「前端向下」設定。步驟S72之預定控制設定預存於電控制器72之記憶體裝置72B中。In step S72, the electric controller 72 performs a control in which the second coupling portion 42 is set to the second (low) position by the electric actuator 14 so that the rod 12 has a low height. The control of step S72 also includes a plurality of predetermined control settings of other posture changing devices of the human vehicle A. For example, in the control of step S72, the predetermined control settings include a front damper setting or suspension stiffness setting, wherein the front suspension is set to a "hard" damping or stiffness setting and the rear suspension is set to a "hard" damping or stiffness setting. Also, for example, the predetermined control setting of the first control includes a suspension travel setting, wherein the front suspension is set to a "short" travel setting and the rear suspension is set to a "long" travel setting. In addition, for example, the predetermined control settings of the first control include a front and rear seat position setting and a seat angle setting, wherein the seat S is set to a "front" position setting and a "front end down" setting. The predetermined control settings of step S72 are pre-stored in the memory device 72B of the electrical controller 72 .

在步驟S73中，電控制器72執行一控制，其中由電致動器14將第二耦合部分42設定為第三(中間)位置，使得桿12具有一中間高度。步驟S73之控制亦包含人力交通工具A之其他姿勢改變裝置之複數個預定控制設定。例如，在步驟S73之控制中，預定控制設定包含一前阻尼器設定或懸架剛度設定，其中前懸架設定為一「中等」阻尼或剛度設定且後懸架設定為一「中等」阻尼或剛度設定。此外，例如，第一控制之預定控制設定包含一懸架行程設定，其中前懸架設定為一「中間」行程設定且後懸架設定為一「短」行程設定。此外，例如，第一控制之預定控制設定包含一前後車座位置設定及一車座角度設定，其中車座S設定為一「中間」位置設定及一「水平」設定。步驟S73之預定控制設定預存於電控制器72之記憶體裝置72B中。In step S73, the electric controller 72 performs a control in which the second coupling portion 42 is set to the third (intermediate) position by the electric actuator 14 so that the rod 12 has an intermediate height. The control of step S73 also includes a plurality of predetermined control settings of other posture changing devices of the human vehicle A. For example, in the control of step S73, the predetermined control settings include a front damper setting or suspension stiffness setting, wherein the front suspension is set to a "medium" damping or stiffness setting and the rear suspension is set to a "medium" damping or stiffness setting. Also, for example, the predetermined control setting of the first control includes a suspension travel setting, wherein the front suspension is set to a "medium" travel setting and the rear suspension is set to a "short" travel setting. In addition, for example, the predetermined control settings of the first control include a front and rear seat position setting and a seat angle setting, wherein the seat S is set to a "middle" position setting and a "horizontal" setting. The predetermined control settings of step S73 are pre-stored in the memory device 72B of the electrical controller 72 .

返回參考步驟S70，電控制器72判定高度可調座桿120之一操作狀態(即，車座高度是否高於預定車座高度(例如一中間車座高度位置))。若電控制器72判定第二操作狀態存在(即，座桿120高於預定高度，諸如第三或中間車座位置)，則電控制器72進行至步驟S74。Referring back to step S70, the electric controller 72 determines an operating state of the height adjustable seat post 120 (ie, whether the seat height is higher than a predetermined seat height (eg, a middle seat height position)). If the electrical controller 72 determines that the second operating state exists (ie, the seat post 120 is higher than a predetermined height, such as the third or middle seat position), the electrical controller 72 proceeds to step S74.

在步驟S74中，電控制器72使用位置感測器22B來判定人力交通工具A之齒輪比是否在一第二預定值(例如1.5之一齒輪比)內。第二預定值基於可用於傳動系DT之齒輪比來設定。若電控制器72判定人力交通工具A之齒輪比在第二預定值內，則電控制器72進行至步驟S75。另一方面，若電控制器72判定人力交通工具A之齒輪比不在第二預定值內，則電控制器72進行至步驟S76。In step S74, the electric controller 72 uses the position sensor 22B to determine whether the gear ratio of the human vehicle A is within a second predetermined value (eg, a gear ratio of 1.5). The second predetermined value is set based on the gear ratio available for the driveline DT. If the electric controller 72 determines that the gear ratio of the human vehicle A is within the second predetermined value, the electric controller 72 proceeds to step S75. On the other hand, if the electric controller 72 determines that the gear ratio of the human vehicle A is not within the second predetermined value, the electric controller 72 proceeds to step S76.

在步驟S75中，電控制器72執行一控制，其中由電致動器14將第二耦合部分42設定為第一(高)位置，使得桿12具有一高高度。步驟S75之控制亦包含人力交通工具A之其他姿勢改變裝置之複數個預定控制設定。例如，在步驟S75之控制中，預定控制設定包含一前阻尼器設定或懸架剛度設定，其中前懸架設定為一「軟」阻尼或剛度設定且後懸架設定為一「軟」阻尼或剛度設定。此外，例如，第一控制之預定控制設定包含一懸架行程設定，其中前懸架設定為一「長」行程設定且後懸架設定為一「短」行程設定。此外，例如，第一控制之預定控制設定包含一前後車座位置設定及一車座角度設定，其中車座S設定為一「後」位置設定及一「前端向上」設定。步驟S75之預定控制設定預存於電控制器72之記憶體裝置72B中。In step S75, the electric controller 72 performs a control in which the second coupling portion 42 is set to the first (high) position by the electric actuator 14 so that the rod 12 has a high height. The control of step S75 also includes a plurality of predetermined control settings of other posture changing devices of the human vehicle A. For example, in the control of step S75, the predetermined control settings include a front damper setting or suspension stiffness setting, wherein the front suspension is set to a "soft" damping or stiffness setting and the rear suspension is set to a "soft" damping or stiffness setting. Also, for example, the predetermined control setting of the first control includes a suspension travel setting, wherein the front suspension is set to a "long" travel setting and the rear suspension is set to a "short" travel setting. In addition, for example, the predetermined control settings of the first control include a front and rear seat position setting and a seat angle setting, wherein the seat S is set to a "rear" position setting and a "front end up" setting. The predetermined control settings of step S75 are pre-stored in the memory device 72B of the electrical controller 72 .

在步驟S76中，電控制器72執行一控制，其中由電致動器14將第二耦合部分42設定為第三(中間)位置，使得桿12具有一中間高度。步驟S76之控制亦包含人力交通工具A之其他姿勢改變裝置之複數個預定控制設定。例如，在步驟S76之控制中，預定控制設定包含一前阻尼器設定或懸架剛度設定，其中前懸架設定為一「中等」阻尼或剛度設定且後懸架設定為一「中等」阻尼或剛度設定。此外，例如，第一控制之預定控制設定包含一懸架行程設定，其中前懸架設定為一「中間」行程設定且後懸架設定為一「短」行程設定。此外，例如，第一控制之預定控制設定包含一前後車座位置設定及一車座角度設定，其中車座S設定為一「中間」位置設定及一「水平」設定。步驟S76之預定控制設定預存於電控制器72之記憶體裝置72B中。In step S76, the electric controller 72 performs a control in which the second coupling portion 42 is set to the third (intermediate) position by the electric actuator 14 so that the rod 12 has an intermediate height. The control of step S76 also includes a plurality of predetermined control settings of other posture changing devices of the human vehicle A. For example, in the control of step S76, the predetermined control settings include a front damper setting or suspension stiffness setting, wherein the front suspension is set to a "medium" damping or stiffness setting and the rear suspension is set to a "medium" damping or stiffness setting. Also, for example, the predetermined control setting of the first control includes a suspension travel setting, wherein the front suspension is set to a "medium" travel setting and the rear suspension is set to a "short" travel setting. In addition, for example, the predetermined control settings of the first control include a front and rear seat position setting and a seat angle setting, wherein the seat S is set to a "middle" position setting and a "horizontal" setting. The predetermined control settings of step S76 are pre-stored in the memory device 72B of the electrical controller 72 .
