A tilting vehicle, comprising: a plurality of wheels, including at least one front wheel and at least one rear wheel arranged in a rearward direction of the vehicle in relation to the at least one front wheel; a body frame, which supports the plurality of wheels so as to enable them to rotate around an axle, and supports the at least one front wheel so as to enable them to rotate around a control axis, tilting toward the right direction of the vehicle relative to the up-down direction of the vehicle when turning right, and tilting toward the left direction of the vehicle relative to the up-down direction of the vehicle when turning left; and a tilt angle related information detection device, which detects information related to a tilt angle, wherein the tilt angle is the tilt of the left-right direction of the vehicle of the body frame relative to the up-down direction of the vehicle. Angle; a steering angle related information detection device, which detects information related to the steering angle, the steering angle being the rotation angle of any of the above-mentioned front wheels around the above-mentioned steering axis; a wheel speed related information detection device, which detects information related to the wheel speed, the wheel speed being the rotation speed of any of the above-mentioned wheels around the above-mentioned axle; and a torque imparting device, which The invention comprises at least one of a driving torque imparting device and a steering torque imparting device, wherein the driving torque imparting device is configured to impart positive and negative driving torques around the axle to at least one of the at least one front wheel and the at least one rear wheel, and the steering torque imparting device is configured to impart a steering torque around the steering axis to the at least one front wheel. The above-mentioned leaning vehicle has a leaning vehicle posture control system, which includes: the above-mentioned lean angle related information detection device; the above-mentioned steering angle related information detection device; the above-mentioned wheel speed related information detection device; the above-mentioned torque imparting device; and a control device, which is configured to perform posture control. The posture control is based on at least the information detected by the above-mentioned lean angle related information detection device, the above-mentioned steering angle related information detection device and the above-mentioned wheel speed related information detection device to control at least one of the above-mentioned driving torque and the above-mentioned steering torque imparted by the above-mentioned torque imparting device, thereby controlling the posture of the above-mentioned leaning vehicle. The control device controls at least one of the driving torque and the steering torque imparted by the torque imparting device based on at least the information detected by the tilt angle related information detection device, the steering angle related information detection device and the wheel speed related information detection device in the following manner, so that during the execution of the posture control, the stability of the tilted vehicle posture control system in the acceleration state or deceleration state of the vehicle speed in the extremely low speed range is maintained. The above method is qualitatively improved. During the execution of the above posture control, at least when the above tilted vehicle is traveling on a flat road surface with a constant friction coefficient and the acceleration in the front-rear direction of the above vehicle is zero and the time change rate of the above steering angle, i.e., the steering angular velocity, is zero, the relationship between the above tilt angle, the above steering angle, and the above vehicle speed falls within a balanced three-dimensional space in which the above tilt angle, the above steering angle, and the above vehicle speed are set as three axes. The balanced three-dimensional space at least includes: (A) A balanced three-dimensional non-plane, which represents the relationship between the tilt angle, the steering angle and the vehicle speed of the tilted vehicle in a geometrically determined equilibrium state, and the tilt angle, the steering angle and the vehicle speed are set as three axes, and the tilted vehicle is in the following state, that is, the acceleration in the front and rear directions of the vehicle is zero and the steering angular velocity is zero on the flat road surface with a fixed friction coefficient, and is carrying a person or an object or is not carrying a person and an object; and (B) as follows The relationship between the above-mentioned bank angle, the above-mentioned steering angle and the above-mentioned vehicle speed in the above-mentioned situation is that, when the above-mentioned banked vehicle is traveling on the above-mentioned flat road surface with a fixed friction coefficient and the above-mentioned acceleration in the front and rear directions of the above-mentioned vehicle is zero and the above-mentioned steering angular velocity is zero, at least one of the above-mentioned acceleration in the front and rear directions of the above-mentioned vehicle and the above-mentioned steering angular velocity changes slightly from zero, resulting in the relationship between the above-mentioned bank angle, the above-mentioned steering angle and the above-mentioned vehicle speed being far away from the above-mentioned balanced three-dimensional non-plane relationship.

根據該構成,將傾斜角、控向角及車速設為3個軸之平衡三維非平面表示傾斜車輛之幾何確定之平衡狀態下之傾斜角、控向角及車速之關係,上述傾斜車輛處於如下狀態,即,以車輛前後方向之加速度為零且控向角速度為零於摩擦係數固定之平坦路面上行駛,且搭載有人或物體或者未搭載人及物體。傾斜車輛控制系統之控制裝置係以如下方式,即,於執行控制傾斜車輛之姿勢之姿勢控制之期間,至少在傾斜車輛以車輛前後方向之加速度為零且控向角速度為零於摩擦係數固定之平坦路面上行駛的狀態下,傾斜角、控向角及車速之關係落在將傾斜角、控向角及車速設為3個軸之平衡三維空間內,於姿勢控制中,至少基於由傾斜角相關資訊檢測裝置、控向角相關資訊檢測裝置及車輪速度相關資訊檢測裝置檢測到之資訊,來對轉矩賦予裝置賦予之驅動轉矩及控向轉矩之至少一者進行控制。控制裝置係於姿勢控制中,至少基於由傾斜角相關資訊檢測裝置、控向角相關資訊檢測裝置及車輪速度相關資訊檢測裝置檢測到之資訊,來對轉矩賦予裝置賦予之驅動轉矩及控向轉矩之至少一者進行控制,因此,能夠控制為至少在傾斜車輛以車輛前後方向之加速度為零且控向角速度為零於摩擦係數固定之平坦路面上行駛的狀態下,傾斜角、控向角及車速之關係落在平衡三維空間內。 平衡三維空間包含平衡三維非平面,該平衡三維非平面表示傾斜角、控向角及車速之關係,且將傾斜角、控向角及車速設為3個軸。又,平衡三維空間亦包含如下情形時之傾斜角、控向角及車速之關係,即,在傾斜車輛以車輛前後方向之加速度為零且控向角速度為零於摩擦係數固定之平坦路面上行駛的狀態下,車輛前後方向之加速度及控向角速度之至少一者從零開始微小變化,而導致傾斜角、控向角及車速之關係處於遠離平衡三維非平面之關係。因此,控制裝置係以如下方式對轉矩賦予裝置賦予之驅動轉矩及控向轉矩之至少一者進行控制,即,於執行姿勢控制之期間,至少在傾斜車輛以車輛前後方向之加速度為零且控向角速度為零於摩擦係數固定之平坦路面上行駛的狀態下,傾斜角、控向角及車速之關係落在包含幾何確定之平衡三維非平面及平衡三維非平面之附近的平衡三維空間內。因此,能夠抑制於執行姿勢控制之期間,例如,當傾斜車輛自以車輛前後方向之加速度為零且控向角速度為零於摩擦係數固定之平坦路面上行駛的狀態轉變為加速或減速之狀態時,傾斜角、控向角及車速之關係大幅度遠離平衡三維空間。 若傾斜角、控向角及車速之關係大幅度遠離平衡三維空間,則控制裝置係以傾斜角、控向角及車速之關係接***衡三維空間之方式控制驅動轉矩及控向轉矩之至少一者。若傾斜角、控向角及車速之關係以多次通過平衡三維非平面之方式反覆出現大幅度遠離平衡三維空間之狀態,則控制裝置頻繁地大幅度變更成為目標之傾斜角、控向角及車速之關係,而頻繁地大幅度變更對驅動轉矩賦予裝置之指令信號,或者頻繁地對控向轉矩賦予裝置發送指令信號,或者進行上述兩者。即,成為無法保持傾斜車輛姿勢系統之穩定性之狀態。 當傾斜車輛以極低速區域之車速行駛時,因控向角容易變化等而導致傾斜車輛之姿勢容易變化。因此,認為當傾斜車輛以極低速區域之車速行駛時,傾斜車輛控制系統之穩定性容易降低。但是,能夠抑制於執行姿勢控制之期間,例如,當傾斜車輛自以極低速區域之車速且以車輛前後方向之加速度為零且控向角速度為零於摩擦係數固定之平坦路面上行駛的狀態轉變為於極低速區域之車速下加速或減速之狀態時,傾斜角、控向角及車速之關係大幅度遠離平衡三維空間。因此,控制裝置以如下方式對轉矩賦予裝置賦予之驅動轉矩及控向轉矩之至少一者進行控制,即,於執行姿勢控制之期間,至少在傾斜車輛以車輛前後方向之加速度為零且控向角速度為零於摩擦係數固定之平坦路面上行駛的狀態下,傾斜角、控向角及車速之關係落在平衡三維空間內,藉此,於執行姿勢控制之期間,至少能夠提高以極低速區域之車速之加速狀態或減速狀態下的傾斜車輛姿勢控制系統之穩定性。 According to this structure, a balanced three-dimensional non-plane with the lean angle, steering angle and vehicle speed set as three axes represents the relationship between the lean angle, steering angle and vehicle speed in a geometrically determined equilibrium state of a tilted vehicle. The above-mentioned tilted vehicle is in the following state, that is, it is traveling on a flat road surface with a fixed friction coefficient with zero acceleration in the front and rear directions of the vehicle and zero steering angular velocity, and is carrying people or objects or not carrying people and objects. The control device of the lean vehicle control system is in the following manner, that is, during the period of posture control for controlling the posture of the lean vehicle, at least when the lean vehicle is traveling on a flat road surface with a fixed friction coefficient and the acceleration in the front and rear directions of the vehicle is zero and the steering angular velocity is zero, the relationship between the lean angle, the steering angle and the vehicle speed falls within a balanced three-dimensional space with the lean angle, the steering angle and the vehicle speed as three axes. In the posture control, at least one of the driving torque and the steering torque assigned by the torque assigning device is controlled based on the information detected by the lean angle related information detection device, the steering angle related information detection device and the wheel speed related information detection device. The control device controls at least one of the driving torque and the steering torque assigned by the torque assigning device in the posture control based on at least the information detected by the tilt angle related information detection device, the steering angle related information detection device and the wheel speed related information detection device, so that the relationship between the tilt angle, the steering angle and the vehicle speed can be controlled to fall within the balanced three-dimensional space at least when the tilted vehicle is traveling on a flat road surface with a fixed friction coefficient and a zero acceleration in the front and rear directions of the vehicle and a zero steering angular velocity. The balanced three-dimensional space includes a balanced three-dimensional non-plane, which represents the relationship between the tilt angle, the steering angle and the vehicle speed, and sets the tilt angle, the steering angle and the vehicle speed as three axes. In addition, the balanced three-dimensional space also includes the relationship between the bank angle, the steering angle and the vehicle speed under the following circumstances, that is, when a tilted vehicle is traveling on a flat road surface with a fixed friction coefficient with zero acceleration in the front and rear directions of the vehicle and zero steering angular velocity, at least one of the acceleration in the front and rear directions of the vehicle and the steering angular velocity changes slightly from zero, causing the relationship between the bank angle, the steering angle and the vehicle speed to be far from a balanced three-dimensional non-planar relationship. Therefore, the control device controls at least one of the driving torque and the steering torque imparted by the torque imparting device in the following manner, that is, during the execution of posture control, at least when the tilted vehicle is traveling on a flat road surface with a fixed friction coefficient with zero acceleration in the front and rear directions of the vehicle and zero steering angular velocity, the relationship between the tilt angle, the steering angle and the vehicle speed falls within a balanced three-dimensional space that includes a geometrically determined balanced three-dimensional non-plane and the vicinity of the balanced three-dimensional non-plane. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the relationship between the bank angle, the steering angle, and the vehicle speed from being greatly deviated from the equilibrium three-dimensional space during the execution of posture control, for example, when the leaning vehicle changes from a state where the acceleration in the front and rear directions of the vehicle is zero and the steering angular velocity is zero on a flat road surface with a constant friction coefficient to a state of acceleration or deceleration. If the relationship between the bank angle, the steering angle, and the vehicle speed is greatly deviated from the equilibrium three-dimensional space, the control device controls at least one of the driving torque and the steering torque in a manner such that the relationship between the bank angle, the steering angle, and the vehicle speed is close to the equilibrium three-dimensional space. If the relationship between the bank angle, steering angle, and vehicle speed repeatedly deviates greatly from the balanced three-dimensional space by passing through the balanced three-dimensional non-plane multiple times, the control device frequently and greatly changes the target bank angle, steering angle, and vehicle speed relationship, and frequently and greatly changes the command signal to the drive torque imparting device, or frequently sends a command signal to the steering torque imparting device, or performs both of the above. That is, it becomes a state where the stability of the leaning vehicle posture system cannot be maintained. When the leaning vehicle is traveling at a speed in the extremely low speed area, the posture of the leaning vehicle is easy to change due to the easy change of the steering angle, etc. Therefore, it is considered that when the leaning vehicle is traveling at a speed in the extremely low speed range, the stability of the leaning vehicle control system is likely to decrease. However, it can be suppressed during the execution of posture control, for example, when the leaning vehicle changes from a state of traveling at a speed in the extremely low speed range and with zero acceleration in the front and rear directions of the vehicle and zero steering angular velocity on a flat road surface with a constant friction coefficient to a state of accelerating or decelerating at a speed in the extremely low speed range, the relationship between the lean angle, steering angle and vehicle speed greatly deviates from the equilibrium three-dimensional space. Therefore, the control device controls at least one of the driving torque and the steering torque imparted by the torque imparting device in the following manner, that is, during the execution of posture control, at least when the tilted vehicle is traveling on a flat road surface with a fixed friction coefficient and the acceleration in the front and rear directions of the vehicle is zero and the steering angular velocity is zero, the relationship between the tilt angle, the steering angle and the vehicle speed falls within a balanced three-dimensional space, thereby, during the execution of posture control, at least the stability of the tilted vehicle posture control system in the acceleration state or deceleration state at a vehicle speed in an extremely low speed range can be improved.

The control device is configured to execute the posture control , and the posture control is to control at least one of the driving torque and the steering torque assigned by the torque assigning device based on at least the information detected by the tilt angle related information detection device, the steering angle related information detection device and the wheel speed related information detection device, at least in the vehicle speed range higher than 0 km/h and lower than 10 km/h, thereby controlling the posture of the tilting vehicle. The control device is configured to perform the posture control in the following manner based on at least the information detected by the tilt angle related information detection device, the steering angle related information detection device and the wheel speed related information detection device.

In the present invention, the steering angle refers to the rotation angle of any front wheel around the steering axis. The steering angle when the tilted vehicle is moving in a straight line is zero. Furthermore, the recording of any front wheel is not intended to limit the number of front wheels to plural. The number of front wheels that a tilted vehicle has may also be 1. When the number of front wheels is plural, the tilted vehicle may also be configured so that the rotation angles of the plural front wheels around the steering axis are always the same. When there are multiple front wheels, the tilted vehicle can be configured so that the rotation angles of the steering axes of the multiple front wheels are slightly different. In this case, the rotation angle of the steering axis of any one front wheel is related to the rotation angles of the steering axes of the remaining front wheels.

Positive driving torque is a torque that rotates the wheel in a positive direction so that the tilted vehicle moves in the forward direction of the vehicle. If a negative driving torque is imparted when the wheel rotates in the positive direction, the rotation of the wheel in the positive direction is decelerated. In the present invention and embodiments, the driving torque imparting device may be configured to be able to generate a torque that rotates the wheel in a negative direction as a negative driving torque, or may not be configured to be able to generate a torque that rotates the wheel in a negative direction as a negative driving torque.

The tilting vehicle may not have a brake device included in the driving torque imparting device, but may have a brake device not included in the driving torque imparting device. When the control device does not control the brake device based on the information detected by the tilt angle related information detection device, the steering angle related information detection device and the wheel speed related information detection device during the posture control, the brake device is not included in the driving torque imparting device.

The case where the torque imparting device includes only a steering torque imparting device is, for example, the case where the tilting vehicle of the present invention is applied to a two-wheeled or three-wheeled bicycle.

於本發明中,於轉矩賦予裝置包含驅動轉矩賦予裝置及控向轉矩賦予裝置兩者之情形時,控制裝置構成為於姿勢控制中控制驅動轉矩及控向轉矩兩者。但是,控制裝置不限於在姿勢控制中同時控制驅動轉矩及控向轉矩。於轉矩賦予裝置包含驅動轉矩賦予裝置及控向轉矩賦予裝置兩者之情形時,控制裝置可於姿勢控制中選擇同時控制驅動轉矩及控向轉矩兩者之狀態、僅控制驅動轉矩之狀態、及僅控制控向轉矩之狀態。控制裝置亦可基於輸入至控制裝置之資訊而決定要被控制用於姿勢控制之轉矩之類型。輸入至控制裝置之資訊可為藉由使用者之操作而輸入至控制裝置之資訊,亦可為表示傾斜車輛之行為之資訊,還可包含其兩者。使用者之操作可為用以駕駛者駕駛傾斜車輛之操作,亦可為使用者(包含駕駛者)於傾斜車輛停止時進行之操作。當為了姿勢控制而僅控制控向轉矩時,亦可並非用於姿勢控制而控制驅動轉矩。並非用於姿勢控制之驅動轉矩之控制例如係指與駕駛者對加速器操作器或刹車操作器之操作對應的驅動轉矩之控制。In the present invention, when the torque imparting device includes both the driving torque imparting device and the steering torque imparting device, the control device is configured to control both the driving torque and the steering torque in posture control. However, the control device is not limited to controlling both the driving torque and the steering torque at the same time in posture control. When the torque imparting device includes both the driving torque imparting device and the steering torque imparting device, the control device can choose to control both the driving torque and the steering torque at the same time, the state of only controlling the driving torque, and the state of only controlling the steering torque in posture control. The control device can also determine the type of torque to be controlled for posture control based on information input to the control device. The information input to the control device may be information input to the control device through the operation of the user, or may be information indicating the behavior of tilting the vehicle, or may include both. The operation of the user may be an operation for the driver to drive the tilted vehicle, or may be an operation performed by the user (including the driver) when the tilted vehicle stops. When only the steering torque is controlled for posture control, the driving torque may be controlled without being used for posture control. The control of the driving torque that is not used for posture control refers to, for example, the control of the driving torque corresponding to the driver's operation of the accelerator operator or the brake operator.

於本發明及實施方式中,將傾斜角、控向角及車速設為3個軸之平衡三維非平面表示傾斜車輛之幾何確定之平衡狀態下的傾斜角、控向角及車速之關係,該傾斜車輛處於如下狀態,即,以車輛前後方向之加速度為零且控向角速度為零在摩擦係數固定之平坦路面上行駛,且搭載有人或物體或者未搭載人及物體。傾斜車輛之平衡狀態下之傾斜角、控向角及車速之關係係如若控向角與車速維持其值不變而行駛,則傾斜角不改變而維持其值的傾斜角、控向角及車速之值之組合。平衡三維非平面可藉由模擬等計算而獲得。平衡三維非平面並非1個平面。平衡三維非平面亦可為曲面。平衡三維非平面亦可為將多個平面連結所得之面。平衡三維非平面亦可為表示傾斜車輛之平衡狀態下之傾斜角、控向角及車速之關係之點的集合。平衡三維非平面可藉由假設傾斜車輛於搭載有人或物體之狀態或者未搭載人及物體之狀態下,以車輛前後方向之加速度為零且控向角速度為零在摩擦係數固定之平坦路面上行駛,改變車速與控向角進行計算而獲得。計算平衡三維非平面時之車速區域中至少包含極低速區域。表示傾斜車輛之平衡狀態之平衡三維非平面根據傾斜車輛之尺寸而不同。即便為同一輛傾斜車輛,表示搭載有人或物體之狀態之傾斜車輛之平衡狀態的平衡三維非平面與表示未搭載人及物體之狀態之傾斜車輛之平衡狀態的平衡三維非平面亦略有不同。當於傾斜車輛搭載有人或物體時,平衡三維非平面根據其重心位置與重量等條件而略有不同。又,平衡三維非平面根據路面相對於車輪之摩擦係數之大小亦略有不同。但是,利用鋪設面或地面等普通路面之摩擦係數計算時之平衡三維非平面與假設摩擦係數為無限大進行計算時之平衡三維非平面幾乎無差別,尤其於低速區域中。又,平衡三維非平面係在假設傾斜車輛未受到人或物體之重心位置之變化或側風等干擾之情況下計算。即,平衡三維非平面表示傾斜車輛之幾何確定之平衡狀態下的傾斜角、控向角及車速之關係,該傾斜車輛處於如下狀態,即,以車輛前後方向之加速度為零且控向角速度為零在摩擦係數固定之平坦路面上行駛,且搭載有人或物體或者未搭載人及物體,且未受到干擾而行駛。In the present invention and implementation method, a balanced three-dimensional non-plane with the lean angle, steering angle and vehicle speed as three axes is used to represent the relationship between the lean angle, steering angle and vehicle speed in a geometrically determined equilibrium state of a leaning vehicle, wherein the leaning vehicle is in the following state, i.e., the vehicle is traveling on a flat road surface with a fixed friction coefficient, with zero acceleration in the front and rear directions of the vehicle and zero steering angular velocity, and is carrying a person or an object, or is not carrying a person and an object. The relationship between the lean angle, steering angle and vehicle speed in the equilibrium state of the leaning vehicle is a combination of the values of the lean angle, steering angle and vehicle speed that will maintain their values without changing the lean angle if the steering angle and the vehicle speed are maintained at the same values. The balanced three-dimensional non-plane can be obtained by calculation such as simulation. A balanced three-dimensional non-plane is not a single plane. A balanced three-dimensional non-plane may be a curved surface. A balanced three-dimensional non-plane may be a surface obtained by connecting multiple planes. A balanced three-dimensional non-plane may be a set of points that represent the relationship between the lean angle, steering angle, and vehicle speed in a balanced state of a tilted vehicle. A balanced three-dimensional non-plane may be obtained by assuming that a tilted vehicle is traveling on a flat road surface with a fixed friction coefficient with zero acceleration in the front and rear directions and zero steering angular velocity in a state where a person or object is on board or not on board, and then changing the vehicle speed and steering angle for calculation. The vehicle speed range when calculating the balanced three-dimensional non-plane includes at least an extremely low speed range. The balanced three-dimensional non-plane representing the balanced state of a tilted vehicle varies depending on the size of the tilted vehicle. Even for the same tilted vehicle, the equilibrium three-dimensional non-plane representing the equilibrium state of the tilted vehicle with people or objects on board is slightly different from the equilibrium three-dimensional non-plane representing the equilibrium state of the tilted vehicle without people and objects on board. When the tilted vehicle is carrying people or objects, the equilibrium three-dimensional non-plane is slightly different depending on the conditions such as the position and weight of the center of gravity. In addition, the equilibrium three-dimensional non-plane is slightly different depending on the size of the friction coefficient of the road surface relative to the wheels. However, the equilibrium three-dimensional non-plane when calculated using the friction coefficient of ordinary roads such as paved surfaces or ground is almost the same as the equilibrium three-dimensional non-plane when calculated assuming that the friction coefficient is infinite, especially in low-speed areas. Furthermore, the equilibrium three-dimensional non-plane is calculated under the assumption that the tilted vehicle is not disturbed by changes in the center of gravity of a person or object or by side winds. That is, the equilibrium three-dimensional non-plane represents the relationship between the tilt angle, steering angle, and vehicle speed in a geometrically determined equilibrium state of the tilted vehicle, and the tilted vehicle is in the following state, that is, the vehicle is traveling on a flat road surface with a constant friction coefficient, with zero acceleration in the front and rear directions and zero steering angular velocity, and is carrying a person or object or is not carrying a person or object, and is traveling without being disturbed.

於本發明及實施方式中,控制裝置係以如下方式對轉矩賦予裝置賦予之驅動轉矩及控向轉矩之至少一者進行控制,即,於執行姿勢控制之期間,至少在傾斜車輛以車輛前後方向之加速度為零且控向角速度為零於摩擦係數固定之平坦路面上行駛的狀態下,傾斜角、控向角及車速之關係落在將傾斜角、控向角及車速設為3個軸之平衡三維空間內。平衡三維空間至少包含平衡三維非平面。此處之「摩擦係數固定之平坦路面」之摩擦係數係普通路面之摩擦係數,與計算平衡三維非平面時之摩擦係數相同。但是,如上所述,利用普通路面之摩擦係數計算時之平衡三維非平面與假設摩擦係數為無限大進行計算時之平衡三維非平面幾乎無差別,尤其於低速區域中。再者,平坦路面係指不存在凹凸且不傾斜之路面。再者,路面不限於具有既定行進方向之道路之面,亦可為停車場等之面。又,於平衡三維非平面表示搭載有人或物體之狀態之傾斜車輛之平衡狀態時,「傾斜車輛以車輛前後方向之加速度為零且控向角速度為零於摩擦係數固定之平坦路面上行駛的狀態」可為搭載有人或物體之狀態之傾斜車輛行駛之狀態。於平衡三維非平面表示未搭載人及物體之狀態之傾斜車輛之平衡狀態時,「傾斜車輛以車輛前後方向之加速度為零且控向角速度為零於摩擦係數固定之平坦路面上行駛的狀態」可為未搭載人及物體之狀態之傾斜車輛行駛之狀態。In the present invention and implementation method, the control device controls at least one of the driving torque and the steering torque assigned by the torque assigning device in the following manner, that is, during the period of posture control, at least when the tilted vehicle is driving on a flat road surface with a fixed friction coefficient with zero acceleration in the front and rear directions of the vehicle and zero steering angular velocity, the relationship between the tilt angle, the steering angle and the vehicle speed falls within a balanced three-dimensional space with the tilt angle, the steering angle and the vehicle speed set as three axes. The balanced three-dimensional space at least includes a balanced three-dimensional non-plane. The friction coefficient of the "flat road surface with a fixed friction coefficient" here is the friction coefficient of an ordinary road surface, which is the same as the friction coefficient when calculating a balanced three-dimensional non-plane. However, as mentioned above, there is almost no difference between the equilibrium three-dimensional non-plane when calculating using the friction coefficient of an ordinary road surface and the equilibrium three-dimensional non-plane when calculating assuming that the friction coefficient is infinite, especially in low-speed areas. Furthermore, a flat road surface refers to a road surface that is not uneven and is not tilted. Furthermore, the road surface is not limited to the surface of a road with a predetermined direction of travel, but may also be a surface of a parking lot, etc. Furthermore, when the equilibrium three-dimensional non-plane represents the equilibrium state of a tilted vehicle carrying a person or an object, "the state of the tilted vehicle driving on a flat road surface with a fixed friction coefficient with zero acceleration in the front and rear directions of the vehicle and zero steering angular velocity" may be the state of a tilted vehicle driving with a person or an object on board. When the equilibrium state of a tilted vehicle without people and objects is represented by a balanced three-dimensional non-plane, "the state of the tilted vehicle driving on a flat road surface with a fixed friction coefficient with zero acceleration in the front and rear directions of the vehicle and zero steering angular velocity" can be the state of the tilted vehicle driving without people and objects.

於本發明及實施方式中,平衡三維空間至少包含如下情形時之傾斜角、控向角及車速之關係,即,於執行姿勢控制之期間,在傾斜車輛以車輛前後方向之加速度為零且控向角速度為零於摩擦係數固定之平坦路面上行駛的狀態下,車輛前後方向之加速度及控向角速度之至少一者從零開始微小變化,而導致傾斜角、控向角及車速之關係成為遠離平衡三維非平面之關係。此處,「在傾斜車輛以車輛前後方向之加速度為零且控向角速度為零於摩擦係數固定之平坦路面上行駛的狀態下,車輛前後方向之加速度及控向角速度之至少一者從零開始微小變化」的狀況例如係指如下狀況。 於執行姿勢控制之期間,傾斜車輛以加速度為零且控向角速度為零於摩擦係數固定之平坦路面上行駛時,即便未產生側風及搭載於傾斜車輛之人或物體之重心移動,且不進行旨在改變加速度及控向角速度之至少一者之驅動轉矩及控向轉矩之控制,亦可能會因路面之微小凹凸、路面之微小傾斜或摩擦係數之微小偏差等原因而導致加速度及控向角速度之至少一者從零開始微小變化。 又,搭載有人或物體之狀態之傾斜車輛於執行姿勢控制之期間,以加速度為零且控向角速度為零於摩擦係數固定之平坦路面上行駛時,即便未產生側風,且不進行旨在改變加速度及控向角速度之至少一者之驅動轉矩及控向轉矩之控制,亦可能會因搭載於傾斜車輛之人或物體之重心位置略微變化而導致加速度及控向角速度之至少一者從零開始微小變化。 「在傾斜車輛以車輛前後方向之加速度為零且控向角速度為零於摩擦係數固定之平坦路面上行駛之狀態下,車輛前後方向之加速度及控向角速度之至少一者從零開始微小變化的狀況」係指如下狀況,即,於執行姿勢控制之期間,在傾斜車輛以車輛前後方向之加速度為零且控向角速度為零,在幾乎未受到干擾或者未受到干擾之情況下於摩擦係數固定之平坦路面上行駛的狀態下,車輛前後方向之加速度及控向角速度之至少一者從零開始微小變化。 In the present invention and implementation methods, the balanced three-dimensional space at least includes the relationship between the bank angle, the steering angle and the vehicle speed under the following circumstances, that is, during the execution of posture control, when the tilted vehicle is traveling on a flat road surface with a fixed friction coefficient with zero acceleration in the front and rear directions of the vehicle and zero steering angular velocity, at least one of the acceleration in the front and rear directions of the vehicle and the steering angular velocity changes slightly from zero, causing the relationship between the bank angle, the steering angle and the vehicle speed to become a relationship far from a balanced three-dimensional non-planar surface. Here, the situation of "when a tilted vehicle is traveling on a flat road surface with a constant friction coefficient and the acceleration in the front and rear directions of the vehicle is zero and the steering angular velocity is zero, at least one of the acceleration in the front and rear directions of the vehicle and the steering angular velocity changes slightly from zero" refers to the following situation, for example. During posture control, when a tilted vehicle is traveling on a flat road surface with a constant friction coefficient at zero acceleration and zero steering angular velocity, even if there is no side wind and no movement of the center of gravity of the person or object on the tilted vehicle, and no control of the driving torque and steering torque to change at least one of the acceleration and steering angular velocity is performed, at least one of the acceleration and steering angular velocity may change slightly from zero due to slight bumps in the road surface, slight tilt of the road surface, or slight deviation in the friction coefficient. Furthermore, when a tilted vehicle carrying a person or object is driving on a flat road with a constant friction coefficient at zero acceleration and zero steering angular velocity during posture control, even if there is no crosswind and the driving torque and steering torque are not controlled to change at least one of the acceleration and steering angular velocity, the center of gravity of the person or object carried on the tilted vehicle may slightly change, causing at least one of the acceleration and steering angular velocity to change slightly from zero. "When a tilted vehicle is traveling on a flat road surface with a constant friction coefficient and the acceleration in the vehicle's forward and backward directions is zero and the steering angular velocity is zero, at least one of the acceleration in the vehicle's forward and backward directions and the steering angular velocity changes slightly from zero" means the following situation: when a tilted vehicle is traveling on a flat road surface with a constant friction coefficient and the acceleration in the vehicle's forward and backward directions and the steering angular velocity is zero, with little or no interference, at least one of the acceleration in the vehicle's forward and backward directions and the steering angular velocity changes slightly from zero during posture control.

於本發明中,「在傾斜車輛以車輛前後方向之加速度為零且控向角速度為零於摩擦係數固定之平坦路面上行駛之狀態下,車輛前後方向之加速度及控向角速度之至少一者從零開始微小變化,而導致傾斜角、控向角及車速之關係成為遠離平衡三維非平面之關係時的傾斜角、控向角及車速之關係」並非意欲限定當加速度及控向角速度均未發生微小變化時傾斜角、控向角及車速之關係處於平衡三維非平面上之關係這一情況。亦可有如下情形,即,在傾斜車輛實際以車輛前後方向之加速度為零且控向角速度為零於摩擦係數固定之平坦路面上行駛之狀態下,即便加速度及控向角速度均未發生微小變化,傾斜角亦發生微小變化,而傾斜角、控向角及車速之關係處於遠離平衡三維非平面之關係。 於本發明中,「在傾斜車輛以車輛前後方向之加速度為零且控向角速度為零於摩擦係數固定之平坦路面上行駛之狀態下,車輛前後方向之加速度及控向角速度之至少一者從零開始微小變化,而導致傾斜角、控向角及車速之關係成為遠離平衡三維非平面之關係時的傾斜角、控向角及車速之關係」並非意欲限定當加速度及控向角速度發生微小變化時傾斜角、控向角及車速之關係必然遠離平衡三維非平面這一情況。亦可有如下情形,即,在傾斜車輛實際以車輛前後方向之加速度為零且控向角速度為零於摩擦係數固定之平坦路面上行駛之狀態下,即便加速度及控向角速度發生微小變化,傾斜角、控向角及車速之關係亦處於平衡三維非平面上之關係。 In the present invention, "the relationship between the bank angle, the steering angle and the vehicle speed when the bank angle, the steering angle and the vehicle speed become a relationship far away from a balanced three-dimensional non-planar surface when at least one of the acceleration and the steering angular velocity in the banked vehicle and the vehicle's front and rear directions changes slightly from zero and the relationship between the bank angle, the steering angle and the vehicle speed becomes a relationship far away from a balanced three-dimensional non-planar surface" is not intended to limit the situation where the relationship between the bank angle, the steering angle and the vehicle speed is a relationship on a balanced three-dimensional non-planar surface when neither the acceleration nor the steering angular velocity changes slightly. There may also be the following situation, that is, when the tilted vehicle is actually driving on a flat road with a fixed friction coefficient with zero acceleration in the front and rear directions and zero steering angular velocity, even if the acceleration and steering angular velocity do not change slightly, the tilt angle also changes slightly, and the relationship between the tilt angle, steering angle and vehicle speed is in a three-dimensional non-planar relationship far from equilibrium. In the present invention, "the relationship between the bank angle, the steering angle and the vehicle speed when at least one of the acceleration in the front and rear directions and the steering angular velocity of the vehicle changes slightly from zero when the vehicle is tilted and traveling on a flat road surface with a constant friction coefficient with zero acceleration in the front and rear directions and zero steering angular velocity, thereby causing the relationship between the bank angle, the steering angle and the vehicle speed to deviate from a balanced three-dimensional non-planar relationship" is not intended to limit the situation where the relationship between the bank angle, the steering angle and the vehicle speed must deviate from a balanced three-dimensional non-planar relationship when the acceleration and the steering angular velocity change slightly. There may also be the following situation, that is, when the tilted vehicle is actually driving on a flat road with a fixed friction coefficient with zero acceleration in the front and rear directions and zero steering angular velocity, even if the acceleration and steering angular velocity change slightly, the relationship between the tilt angle, steering angle and vehicle speed is in a balanced three-dimensional non-plane relationship.

於本發明及實施方式中,平衡三維空間不包含大幅度遠離平衡三維非平面之傾斜角、控向角及車速之關係。處於平衡三維空間之邊緣之傾斜角、控向角及車速之關係亦可為如下情形時之傾斜角、控向角及車速之關係,即,於執行姿勢控制之期間,在傾斜車輛以車輛前後方向之加速度為零且控向角速度為零於摩擦係數固定之平坦路面上行駛的狀態下,車輛前後方向之加速度及控向角速度之至少一者從零開始微小變化,而導致傾斜角、控向角及車速之關係處於遠離平衡三維非平面之關係。平衡三維空間亦可為如下情形時之傾斜角、控向角及車速之關係之集合,即,於執行姿勢控制之期間,在傾斜車輛以車輛前後方向之加速度為零且控向角速度為零於摩擦係數固定之平坦路面上行駛的狀態下,車輛前後方向之加速度及控向角速度之至少一者從零開始微小變化,而導致傾斜角、控向角及車速之關係處於遠離平衡三維非平面之關係。平衡三維空間例如亦可不包含與平衡三維非平面上之某個點具有相同之控向角及車速但傾斜角相差2°以上的點。In the present invention and implementation methods, the balanced three-dimensional space does not include the relationship between the bank angle, steering angle, and vehicle speed that is far away from the balanced three-dimensional non-plane. The relationship between the bank angle, steering angle, and vehicle speed at the edge of the balanced three-dimensional space can also be the relationship between the bank angle, steering angle, and vehicle speed in the following situation, that is, during the period of posture control, when the leaning vehicle is driving on a flat road surface with a fixed friction coefficient with zero acceleration in the front and rear directions of the vehicle and zero steering angular velocity, at least one of the acceleration in the front and rear directions of the vehicle and the steering angular velocity changes slightly from zero, resulting in the relationship between the bank angle, steering angle, and vehicle speed being far away from the balanced three-dimensional non-plane. The balanced three-dimensional space may also be a collection of the relationships among the bank angle, steering angle, and vehicle speed in the following situations: that is, during the posture control, when the leaning vehicle is traveling on a flat road surface with a constant friction coefficient and the acceleration and steering angular velocity in the front and rear directions of the vehicle are zero, at least one of the acceleration and steering angular velocity in the front and rear directions of the vehicle changes slightly from zero, resulting in the relationship among the bank angle, steering angle, and vehicle speed being far from the balanced three-dimensional non-plane. For example, the balanced three-dimensional space may not include a point that has the same steering angle and vehicle speed as a point on the balanced three-dimensional non-plane but has a bank angle that differs by more than 2°.

於本發明及實施方式之姿勢控制中,以在傾斜車輛以車輛前後方向之加速度為零且控向角速度為零行駛之狀態下傾斜角、控向角及車速之關係落在將傾斜角、控向角及車速設為3個軸之平衡三維空間的方式,控制驅動轉矩及控向轉矩之至少一者,例如包括當車輛前後方向之加速度及控向角速度之至少一者發生微小變化而導致傾斜角、控向角及車速之關係如遠離平衡三維非平面般變化時,以使傾斜角、控向角及車速之關係接***衡三維非平面之方式控制驅動轉矩及控向轉矩之至少一者。藉由控制驅動轉矩及控向轉矩之至少一者,而傾斜角、控向角及車速之關係發生變化。例如,在傾斜車輛以控向角不為零、車輛之前後方向加速度為零且控向角速度為零迴旋之狀態下,藉由驅動轉矩之控制而改變車速時,傾斜角與控向角發生變化。在傾斜車輛以車輛之前後方向加速度為零且控向角速度為零行駛之狀態下,藉由控向轉矩之控制而改變控向角時,傾斜角與車速發生變化。In the posture control of the present invention and its implementation method, when the tilted vehicle is traveling with zero acceleration in the front-rear direction and zero steering angular velocity, the relationship among the lean angle, steering angle and vehicle speed falls within a balanced three-dimensional space with the lean angle, steering angle and vehicle speed set as three axes, and at least one of the driving torque and the steering torque is controlled. For example, when at least one of the acceleration and steering angular velocity in the front-rear direction of the vehicle undergoes a slight change, causing the relationship among the lean angle, steering angle and vehicle speed to change as if far away from a balanced three-dimensional non-plane, at least one of the driving torque and the steering torque is controlled in a manner such that the relationship among the lean angle, steering angle and vehicle speed is close to a balanced three-dimensional non-plane. By controlling at least one of the driving torque and the steering torque, the relationship between the bank angle, the steering angle, and the vehicle speed changes. For example, when the banked vehicle is rotating with the steering angle not being zero, the vehicle's front-to-rear acceleration being zero, and the steering angular velocity being zero, the bank angle and the steering angle change when the vehicle speed is changed by controlling the driving torque. When the banked vehicle is traveling with the vehicle's front-to-rear acceleration being zero and the steering angular velocity being zero, the bank angle and the vehicle speed change when the steering angle is changed by controlling the steering torque.

Furthermore, when the control device memorizes the situation of the balanced three-dimensional non-plane, it can also be configured to correct the value of the balanced three-dimensional non-plane or the value calculated based on the balanced three-dimensional non-plane. Furthermore, the control device can also memorize a plurality of balanced three-dimensional non-planes. For example, a plurality of balanced three-dimensional non-planes can also include a plurality of balanced three-dimensional non-planes created by assuming different numbers of passengers in a tilted vehicle.

某傾斜車輛之控制裝置是否以如下方式至少基於由傾斜角相關資訊檢測裝置、控向角相關資訊檢測裝置及車輪速度相關資訊檢測裝置檢測到之資訊而控制驅動轉矩及控向轉矩之至少一者,例如可利用以下之方法來判別,上述方式係在傾斜車輛以車輛前後方向之加速度為零且控向角速度為零於摩擦係數固定之平坦路面上行駛的狀態下,傾斜角、控向角及車速之關係落在平衡三維空間內,該平衡三維空間至少包含:(A)平衡三維非平面;及(B)如下情形時之傾斜角、控向角及車速之關係,即,在傾斜車輛以車輛前後方向之加速度為零且控向角速度為零於摩擦係數固定之平坦路面上行駛的狀態下,車輛前後方向之加速度及控向角速度之至少一者從零開始微小變化,而導致傾斜角、控向角及車速之關係處於遠離平衡三維非平面之關係。 進行使傾斜車輛以固定車速於圓上迴旋之試驗。改變車速與圓之大小之組合而進行試驗。試驗於同一路面進行。於傾斜車輛為不由駕駛者駕駛而自主行駛之傾斜車輛之情形時,例如,以傾斜車輛以固定車速於圓上迴旋之方式將行駛路線與車速等輸入至控制裝置。於傾斜車輛由駕駛者駕駛之情形時,於以固定車速於圓上迴旋之期間,駕駛者不進行重心移動與操作器之操作量之變更。相同試驗條件之試驗亦進行複數次。再者,即便設定全部相同之試驗條件,傾斜車輛之行為亦未必完全相同。這亦適用於本發明之傾斜車輛。車速越低,即便設定相同之試驗條件,傾斜車輛之行為亦不同之趨勢越高。於各試驗中測定傾斜角、傾斜角速度、傾斜角加速度、控向角、控向角速度、控向角加速度、車速、及車輛前後方向之加速度。 並且,將各試驗中測得之傾斜角、控向角及車速與藉由計算獲得之平衡三維非平面進行比較。於成為任一測定結果大幅度遠離平衡三維非平面之狀態時,可判斷未控制為在傾斜車輛以車輛前後方向之加速度為零且控向角速度為零於摩擦係數固定之平坦路面上行駛的狀態下,傾斜角、控向角及車速之關係落在平衡三維空間內。於任一測定結果均未大幅度偏離平衡三維非平面時,可推定被控制為在傾斜車輛以車輛前後方向之加速度為零且控向角速度為零於摩擦係數固定之平坦路面上行駛的狀態下,傾斜角、控向角及車速之關係落在平衡三維空間內。於該情形時,繼而,調查是否有滿足下述之判別條件A1~A3之試驗結果。 A1:於任意2個試驗中,存在控向角、控向角速度、控向角加速度、車速、及車輛前後方向之加速度彼此相同且傾斜角互不相同的時間點,緊接著該時間點之後賦予之驅動轉矩及控向轉矩之至少一者互不相同。 A2:於任意2個試驗中,存在傾斜角、傾斜角速度、傾斜角加速度、車速、及車輛前後方向之加速度彼此相同且控向角互不相同的時間點,緊接著該時間點之後賦予之驅動轉矩及控向轉矩之至少一者互不相同。 A3:於任意2個試驗中,存在傾斜角、傾斜角速度、傾斜角加速度、控向角、控向角速度、及控向角加速度彼此相同且車速互不相同的時間點,緊接著該時間點之後賦予之驅動轉矩及控向轉矩之至少一者互不相同。 於存在驅動轉矩滿足判別條件A1~A3之試驗結果時,可判斷至少基於由傾斜角相關資訊檢測裝置、控向角相關資訊檢測裝置及車輪速度相關資訊檢測裝置檢測到之資訊來至少對驅動轉矩進行了控制。於存在控向轉矩滿足判別條件A1~A3之試驗結果時,可判斷至少基於由傾斜角相關資訊檢測裝置、控向角相關資訊檢測裝置及車輪速度相關資訊檢測裝置檢測到之資訊來至少對控向轉矩進行了控制。 藉由以上之步序,控制裝置可判別是否以在傾斜車輛以車輛前後方向之加速度為零且控向角速度為零於摩擦係數固定之平坦路面上行駛的狀態下,傾斜角、控向角及車速之關係落在平衡三維空間內的方式,基於3個檢測裝置所檢測到之資訊來對驅動轉矩及控向轉矩之至少一者進行控制。 Whether the control device of a tilted vehicle controls at least one of the driving torque and the steering torque based on at least the information detected by the tilt angle related information detection device, the steering angle related information detection device and the wheel speed related information detection device in the following manner can be determined, for example, by the following method: the above method is that when the tilted vehicle is traveling on a flat road surface with a fixed friction coefficient and the acceleration in the front and rear directions of the vehicle is zero and the steering angular velocity is zero, the relationship between the tilt angle, the steering angle and the vehicle speed is flat. In a balanced three-dimensional space, the balanced three-dimensional space at least includes: (A) a balanced three-dimensional non-plane; and (B) the relationship between the bank angle, steering angle, and vehicle speed under the following circumstances, that is, when a tilted vehicle is driving on a flat road surface with a fixed friction coefficient and the acceleration in the front and rear directions of the vehicle is zero and the steering angular velocity is zero, at least one of the acceleration in the front and rear directions of the vehicle and the steering angular velocity changes slightly from zero, resulting in the relationship between the bank angle, steering angle, and vehicle speed being far from the balanced three-dimensional non-plane relationship. Conduct a test of rotating a tilted vehicle on a circle at a fixed speed. Conduct the test by changing the combination of vehicle speed and circle size. Conduct the test on the same road surface. In the case where the tilting vehicle is a tilting vehicle that is not driven by a driver but is driven autonomously, for example, the driving route and vehicle speed are input to the control device in a manner such that the tilting vehicle rotates in a circle at a fixed speed. In the case where the tilting vehicle is driven by a driver, the driver does not move the center of gravity or change the operation amount of the operator during the rotation in a circle at a fixed speed. The test under the same test conditions is also performed multiple times. Furthermore, even if all the same test conditions are set, the behavior of the tilting vehicle may not be exactly the same. This also applies to the tilting vehicle of the present invention. The lower the vehicle speed, the more likely the tilted vehicle will behave differently even when the test conditions are the same. In each test, the tilt angle, tilt velocity, tilt acceleration, steering angle, steering velocity, steering acceleration, vehicle speed, and acceleration in the front and rear directions of the vehicle are measured. In addition, the tilt angle, steering angle, and vehicle speed measured in each test are compared with the balanced three-dimensional non-plane obtained by calculation. When any of the measurement results deviates significantly from the equilibrium three-dimensional non-plane state, it can be judged that the relationship between the tilt angle, steering angle and vehicle speed falls within the equilibrium three-dimensional space when the tilted vehicle is not controlled to travel on a flat road surface with a fixed friction coefficient and a zero acceleration in the front and rear directions of the vehicle and a zero steering angular velocity. When any of the measurement results do not deviate significantly from the equilibrium three-dimensional non-plane state, it can be inferred that the relationship between the tilt angle, steering angle and vehicle speed falls within the equilibrium three-dimensional space when the tilted vehicle is controlled to travel on a flat road surface with a fixed friction coefficient and a zero acceleration in the front and rear directions of the vehicle and a zero steering angular velocity. In this case, then, investigate whether there are test results that meet the following judgment conditions A1 to A3. A1: In any two tests, there is a time point when the steering angle, steering angular velocity, steering angular acceleration, vehicle speed, and acceleration in the front and rear directions of the vehicle are the same, and the tilt angle is different. At least one of the driving torque and steering torque applied immediately after the time point is different. A2: In any two tests, there is a time point when the tilt angle, tilt angular velocity, tilt angular acceleration, vehicle speed, and acceleration in the front and rear directions of the vehicle are the same, and the steering angle is different. At least one of the driving torque and steering torque applied immediately after the time point is different. A3: In any two tests, there is a time point where the bank angle, bank angle velocity, bank angle acceleration, steering angle, steering angle velocity, and steering angle acceleration are the same and the vehicle speeds are different, and at least one of the driving torque and steering torque applied immediately after the time point is different. When there is a test result in which the driving torque satisfies the judgment conditions A1 to A3, it can be judged that at least the driving torque is controlled based on the information detected by the bank angle related information detection device, the steering angle related information detection device, and the wheel speed related information detection device. When there is a test result that the steering torque satisfies the judgment conditions A1 to A3, it can be judged that at least the steering torque is controlled based on the information detected by the tilt angle related information detection device, the steering angle related information detection device and the wheel speed related information detection device. Through the above steps, the control device can determine whether the relationship between the tilt angle, the steering angle and the vehicle speed falls within the balanced three-dimensional space when the tilted vehicle is driving on a flat road with zero acceleration in the front and rear directions of the vehicle and zero steering angular velocity on a fixed friction coefficient. At least one of the driving torque and the steering torque is controlled based on the information detected by the three detection devices.

The plurality of wheels 2 include at least one front wheel 3 and at least one rear wheel 4. The at least one rear wheel 4 is arranged in a rearward direction relative to the at least one front wheel 3 in the front-rear direction of the vehicle. The tilting vehicle 1 shown in FIG1 is an example of the tilting vehicle 1 of the present embodiment. The tilting vehicle 1 shown in FIG1 is a two-wheeled vehicle, but the tilting vehicle 1 of the present embodiment is not limited to a two-wheeled vehicle.

傾斜車輛1具有傾斜車輛姿勢控制系統,該傾斜車輛姿勢控制系統包含傾斜角相關資訊檢測裝置6、控向角相關資訊檢測裝置7、車輪速度相關資訊檢測裝置8、轉矩賦予裝置1及控制裝置9。控制裝置9構成為執行姿勢控制,該姿勢控制係至少基於由傾斜角相關資訊檢測裝置6、控向角相關資訊檢測裝置7及車輪速度相關資訊檢測裝置8檢測到之資訊,來對轉矩賦予裝置10賦予之驅動轉矩及控向轉矩之至少一者進行控制,藉此控制傾斜車輛1之姿勢。控制裝置9以如下方式至少基於由傾斜角相關資訊檢測裝置6、控向角相關資訊檢測裝置7及車輪速度相關資訊檢測裝置8檢測到之資訊,來對轉矩賦予裝置10賦予之驅動轉矩及控向轉矩之至少一者進行控制,使得於執行姿勢控制之期間,至少能夠提高以極低速區域之車速V之加速狀態或減速狀態下的傾斜車輛姿勢控制系統之穩定性,上述方式係於執行姿勢控制之期間,至少在傾斜車輛1以車輛前後方向之加速度為零且控向角δ之時間變化率即控向角速度為零於摩擦係數固定之平坦路面上行駛的狀態下,傾斜角ϕ、控向角δ及車速V之關係落在平衡三維空間E1內。The leaning vehicle 1 has a leaning vehicle posture control system, which includes a lean angle related information detection device 6, a steering angle related information detection device 7, a wheel speed related information detection device 8, a torque imparting device 1 and a control device 9. The control device 9 is configured to perform posture control, and the posture control is based on at least the information detected by the lean angle related information detection device 6, the steering angle related information detection device 7 and the wheel speed related information detection device 8 to control at least one of the driving torque and the steering torque imparted by the torque imparting device 10, thereby controlling the posture of the leaning vehicle 1. The control device 9 controls at least one of the driving torque and the steering torque given by the torque imparting device 10 based on at least the information detected by the tilt angle related information detection device 6, the steering angle related information detection device 7 and the wheel speed related information detection device 8 in the following manner, so that during the execution of the posture control, at least the acceleration state of the vehicle at the vehicle speed V in the extremely low speed range can be improved. The stability of the tilted vehicle posture control system in a static or decelerating state is determined by the above method. During the posture control, at least when the tilted vehicle 1 is traveling on a flat road surface with a fixed friction coefficient with zero acceleration in the front-rear direction of the vehicle and a time change rate of the steering angle δ, that is, the steering angular velocity, being zero, the relationship among the tilt angle φ, the steering angle δ and the vehicle speed V falls within the equilibrium three-dimensional space E1.

如圖1所示,平衡三維空間E1包含平衡三維非平面E2。平衡三維非平面E2係表示傾斜車輛1之幾何確定之平衡狀態下之傾斜角ϕ、控向角δ及車速V之關係,且將傾斜角ϕ、控向角δ及車速V設為3個軸的非平面,傾斜車輛1處於如下狀態,即,以車輛前後方向之加速度為零且控向角速度為零在摩擦係數固定之平坦路面上行駛,且搭載有人或物體或者未搭載人及物體。平衡三維空間E1亦包含如下情形時之傾斜角ϕ、控向角δ及車速V之關係,即,於執行姿勢控制之期間,在傾斜車輛1以車輛前後方向之加速度為零且控向角速度為零於摩擦係數固定之平坦路面上行駛的狀態下,車輛前後方向之加速度及控向角速度之至少一者從零開始微小變化,而導致傾斜角ϕ、控向角δ及車速V之關係處於遠離平衡三維非平面之關係。As shown in FIG1 , the balanced three-dimensional space E1 includes a balanced three-dimensional non-plane E2. The balanced three-dimensional non-plane E2 represents the relationship between the tilt angle φ, the steering angle δ, and the vehicle speed V in the geometrically determined equilibrium state of the tilted vehicle 1, and the tilt angle φ, the steering angle δ, and the vehicle speed V are set as non-planes of three axes. The tilted vehicle 1 is in the following state, that is, it is traveling on a flat road surface with a fixed friction coefficient with zero acceleration in the front and rear directions of the vehicle and zero steering angular velocity, and it is carrying people or objects or not carrying people and objects. The balanced three-dimensional space E1 also includes the relationship between the bank angle φ, the steering angle δ and the vehicle speed V under the following circumstances, that is, during the execution of posture control, when the tilted vehicle 1 is traveling on a flat road surface with a fixed friction coefficient with zero acceleration in the front and rear directions of the vehicle and zero steering angular velocity, at least one of the acceleration in the front and rear directions of the vehicle and the steering angular velocity changes slightly from zero, causing the relationship between the bank angle φ, the steering angle δ and the vehicle speed V to be far from a balanced three-dimensional non-planar relationship.

再者,圖1所示之平衡三維空間E1及平衡三維非平面E2僅為本實施方式之平衡三維空間E1及平衡三維非平面E2之一例。圖1所示之平衡三維非平面E2係曲面,但平衡三維非平面E2亦可不為曲面。平衡三維非平面E2之傾斜角ϕ與平衡三維空間E1之邊緣之傾斜角ϕ之差不限於圖示之差。圖1所示之平衡三維空間E1係傾斜角ϕ之方向之大小均勻,但傾斜角ϕ之方向之大小亦可不均勻。但是,平衡三維空間E1不包含如傾斜車輛姿勢控制系統不穩定之傾斜角ϕ、控向角δ及車速V之關係。Furthermore, the balanced three-dimensional space E1 and the balanced three-dimensional non-plane E2 shown in FIG1 are only examples of the balanced three-dimensional space E1 and the balanced three-dimensional non-plane E2 of the present embodiment. The balanced three-dimensional non-plane E2 shown in FIG1 is a curved surface, but the balanced three-dimensional non-plane E2 may not be a curved surface. The difference between the tilt angle ϕ of the balanced three-dimensional non-plane E2 and the tilt angle ϕ of the edge of the balanced three-dimensional space E1 is not limited to the difference shown in the figure. The balanced three-dimensional space E1 shown in FIG1 has a uniform size in the direction of the tilt angle ϕ, but the size in the direction of the tilt angle ϕ may also be non-uniform. However, the balanced three-dimensional space E1 does not include the relationship between the tilt angle ϕ, the steering angle δ, and the vehicle speed V, such as the instability of the tilt vehicle posture control system.

圖1之平衡三維非平面E2表示以極低速之車速V迴旋之傾斜車輛1之平衡狀態下的傾斜角ϕ與控向角δ之車輛左右方向不同。即,圖1之平衡三維非平面E2表示當傾斜車輛1以極低速之車速V右迴旋時,車體框架5相對於車輛上下方向朝車輛左方向傾斜,當傾斜車輛1以極低速之車速V左迴旋時,車體框架5相對於車輛上下方向朝車輛右方向傾斜。其原因在於,傾斜車輛1具有正值之後傾角及正值之曳距長度。此處之極低速之車速V亦可低於上述極低速區域之上限車速。具有正值之後傾角及正值之曳距長度之傾斜車輛1係於以極低速區域之車速V之加速狀態及減速狀態下傾斜車輛姿勢控制系統之穩定性容易降低,因此,採用能夠提高以極低速區域之車速V之加速狀態及減速狀態下之傾斜車輛姿勢控制系統之穩定性的姿勢控制特別有效。但是,本實施方式之傾斜車輛1不限於具有正值之後傾角及正值之曳距長度者。The balanced three-dimensional non-plane E2 of FIG1 indicates that the tilt angle φ and the steering angle δ of the tilted vehicle 1 rotating at an extremely low speed V in a balanced state are different in the left and right directions of the vehicle. That is, the balanced three-dimensional non-plane E2 of FIG1 indicates that when the tilted vehicle 1 rotates right at an extremely low speed V, the body frame 5 tilts toward the left direction of the vehicle relative to the vertical direction of the vehicle, and when the tilted vehicle 1 rotates left at an extremely low speed V, the body frame 5 tilts toward the right direction of the vehicle relative to the vertical direction of the vehicle. The reason is that the tilted vehicle 1 has a positive back-tilt angle and a positive trail length. The extremely low speed V here can also be lower than the upper speed limit of the extremely low speed area mentioned above. The leaning vehicle 1 having a positive rear caster angle and a positive trail length is prone to reduce the stability of the leaning vehicle posture control system in the acceleration state and the deceleration state at the vehicle speed V in the extremely low speed range. Therefore, it is particularly effective to adopt a posture control that can improve the stability of the leaning vehicle posture control system in the acceleration state and the deceleration state at the vehicle speed V in the extremely low speed range. However, the leaning vehicle 1 of the present embodiment is not limited to the one having a positive rear caster angle and a positive trail length.

再者,本實施方式之控制裝置9亦可至少在高於0 km/h且10 km/h以下之車速區域中執行姿勢控制。藉此,能夠提高以極低速區域之車速V之加速狀態或減速狀態下的傾斜車輛姿勢控制系統之穩定性。於該情形時,控制裝置9亦可在高於10 km/h之車速區域中執行姿勢控制。又,控制裝置9亦可於車速V為0 km/h時執行姿勢控制。即,控制裝置9亦可至少在0 km/h以上10 km/h以下之車速區域中執行姿勢控制。 又,本實施方式之控制裝置9亦可僅在納入高於0 km/h且10 km/h以下之車速區域內而較該車速區域窄的車速區域中執行姿勢控制。於該情形時,亦能夠提高以極低速區域之車速V之加速狀態或減速狀態下的傾斜車輛姿勢控制系統之穩定性。 Furthermore, the control device 9 of this embodiment can also perform posture control at least in the vehicle speed range above 0 km/h and below 10 km/h. In this way, the stability of the tilted vehicle posture control system in the acceleration state or deceleration state at the vehicle speed V in the extremely low speed range can be improved. In this case, the control device 9 can also perform posture control in the vehicle speed range above 10 km/h. In addition, the control device 9 can also perform posture control when the vehicle speed V is 0 km/h. That is, the control device 9 can also perform posture control at least in the vehicle speed range above 0 km/h and below 10 km/h. Furthermore, the control device 9 of this embodiment can also perform posture control only in a vehicle speed range that is included in the vehicle speed range higher than 0 km/h and lower than 10 km/h and is narrower than the vehicle speed range. In this case, the stability of the tilted vehicle posture control system in the acceleration state or deceleration state at the vehicle speed V in the extremely low speed range can also be improved.

於本實施方式之轉矩賦予裝置10僅具有驅動轉矩賦予裝置11及控向轉矩賦予裝置12中之任一者之情形時,控制裝置9於姿勢控制中,基於由3個檢測裝置6~8檢測到之資訊而僅控制驅動轉矩或控向轉矩。 又,於本實施方式之轉矩賦予裝置10具有驅動轉矩賦予裝置11及控向轉矩賦予裝置12兩者之情形時,控制裝置9於姿勢控制中,基於由3個檢測裝置6~8檢測到之資訊而控制驅動轉矩及控向轉矩兩者。於該情形時,於執行姿勢控制時更容易提高傾斜車輛姿勢控制系統之穩定性。於該情形時,控制裝置9可於執行姿勢控制之期間,在以極低速區域之車速V之加速狀態或減速狀態下,根據狀況選擇基於由3個檢測裝置6~8檢測到之資訊而控制驅動轉矩及控向轉矩兩者之狀態與基於由3個檢測裝置6~8檢測到之資訊而僅控制驅動轉矩或控向轉矩之狀態。又,於該情形時,控制裝置9可於執行姿勢控制之期間,在傾斜車輛1以車輛前後方向之加速度為零且控向角速度為零於摩擦係數固定之平坦路面上行駛的狀態下,根據狀況選擇基於由3個檢測裝置6~8檢測到之資訊而控制驅動轉矩及控向轉矩兩者之狀態與基於由3個檢測裝置6~8檢測到之資訊而僅控制驅動轉矩或控向轉矩之狀態。 In the case where the torque imparting device 10 of the present embodiment has only one of the driving torque imparting device 11 and the steering torque imparting device 12, the control device 9 controls only the driving torque or the steering torque in the posture control based on the information detected by the three detection devices 6 to 8. In addition, in the case where the torque imparting device 10 of the present embodiment has both the driving torque imparting device 11 and the steering torque imparting device 12, the control device 9 controls both the driving torque and the steering torque in the posture control based on the information detected by the three detection devices 6 to 8. In this case, it is easier to improve the stability of the tilted vehicle posture control system when performing posture control. In this case, the control device 9 can, during the execution of posture control, in the acceleration state or deceleration state at the vehicle speed V in the extremely low speed area, choose to control the states of both the driving torque and the steering torque based on the information detected by the three detection devices 6 to 8 or only control the driving torque or the steering torque based on the information detected by the three detection devices 6 to 8 according to the situation. Furthermore, in this case, the control device 9 can, during the posture control, select a state of controlling both the driving torque and the steering torque based on the information detected by the three detection devices 6 to 8 or a state of controlling only the driving torque or the steering torque based on the information detected by the three detection devices 6 to 8 when the tilted vehicle 1 is traveling on a flat road surface with a fixed friction coefficient with zero acceleration in the front and rear directions of the vehicle and zero steering angular velocity.

本實施方式之控制裝置9亦可於傾斜車輛1不由駕駛者駕駛而自主行駛之狀態下執行姿勢控制。本實施方式之控制裝置9亦可於傾斜車輛1由駕駛者駕駛而行駛之狀態下執行姿勢控制。本實施方式之控制裝置9亦可於傾斜車輛1由駕駛者駕駛而行駛之狀態及傾斜車輛1由駕駛者駕駛而行駛之狀態該兩種狀態下執行姿勢控制。The control device 9 of this embodiment can also perform posture control in a state where the tilted vehicle 1 is driven autonomously without being driven by the driver.
