FIG. 1 is a schematic structural view of an automatic bicycle shifting system according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a system block diagram of the bicycle automatic shifting system of the present invention. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 2, the bicycle automatic transmission system 100 of the present invention is disposed on a bicycle 200. The bicycle automatic transmission system 100 of the present invention includes a wheel speed sensor 110, a crankshaft speed sensor 120, The processor 130 and the electronic shifting mechanism 140.

其中,車輪轉速感測器110設置於自行車200之輪軸210上,且車輪轉速感測器110感測自行車200之車輪轉速資訊。舉例而言,車輪轉速感測器110可例如為霍爾元件轉速感測器,且設置於自行車200之前車輪或後車輪230之輪軸上,藉以使得霍爾元件轉速感測器可感測前車輪或後車輪230之轉動圈數,並進 而可計算出前車輪或後車輪230之轉動速度以作為自行車200之車輪轉速資訊。而曲柄軸轉速感測器120係設置於自行車200之曲柄軸220上,且曲柄軸轉速感測器120感測曲柄軸220之曲柄軸轉速資訊。舉例而言,曲柄軸轉速感測器120可例如為紅外線轉速感測器,藉以感測曲柄軸220之轉動速度以作為曲柄軸轉速資訊。 The wheel speed sensor 110 is disposed on the axle 210 of the bicycle 200, and the wheel speed sensor 110 senses the wheel speed information of the bicycle 200. For example, the wheel speed sensor 110 can be, for example, a Hall element speed sensor and disposed on the axle of the front wheel or the rear wheel 230 of the bicycle 200, so that the Hall element speed sensor can sense the front wheel Or the number of turns of the rear wheel 230, and The rotational speed of the front or rear wheel 230 can be calculated as the wheel speed information of the bicycle 200. The crankshaft speed sensor 120 is disposed on the crankshaft 220 of the bicycle 200, and the crankshaft speed sensor 120 senses the crankshaft speed information of the crankshaft 220. For example, the crankshaft speed sensor 120 can be, for example, an infrared speed sensor to sense the rotational speed of the crankshaft 220 as crankshaft rotational speed information.

因此,本發明之自行車自動變速系統100可藉由車輪轉速感測器110及曲柄軸轉速感測器120,藉以感測自行車200之速度。 Therefore, the bicycle automatic transmission system 100 of the present invention can sense the speed of the bicycle 200 by the wheel speed sensor 110 and the crankshaft speed sensor 120.

此外,本發明之自行車自動變速系統100之車輪轉速感測器110及曲柄軸轉速感測器120亦可電性連接手持裝置300,藉以使得手持裝置300可即時顯示車輪轉速資訊及曲柄軸轉速資訊。 In addition, the wheel speed sensor 110 and the crankshaft speed sensor 120 of the bicycle automatic transmission system 100 of the present invention can also be electrically connected to the handheld device 300, so that the handheld device 300 can instantly display the wheel speed information and the crankshaft speed information. .

另外,處理器130電性連接車輪轉速感測器110及曲柄軸轉速感測器120,使得當車輪轉速感測器110感測到自行車200之車輪轉速資訊及/或當曲柄軸轉速感測器120感測到曲柄軸220之曲柄軸轉速資訊後,處理器130可接收到此自行車200目前之車輪轉速資訊及/或曲柄軸轉速資訊。舉例而言,處理器130可設置於自行車200上,且處理器130、車輪轉速感測器110及曲柄軸轉速感測器120均電性連接傳輸裝置180,以使得車輪轉速感測器110及/或曲柄軸轉速感測器120可透過傳輸裝置180將車輪轉速資訊及/或曲柄軸轉速資訊,傳輸至處理器130以使得處理器130可接收車輪轉速資訊及/或曲柄軸轉速資訊。其中,傳輸裝置180可例如為藍牙傳輸裝置,且可設置於自行車200上。除此之外,處理器130亦可透過傳輸裝置180命令車輪轉速感測器110 及曲柄軸轉速感測器120感測車輪轉速資訊及/或曲柄軸轉速資訊,並傳送回感測到之車輪轉速資訊及/或曲柄軸轉速資訊。 In addition, the processor 130 is electrically connected to the wheel speed sensor 110 and the crankshaft speed sensor 120 such that when the wheel speed sensor 110 senses the wheel speed information of the bicycle 200 and/or when the crankshaft speed sensor After sensing the crankshaft rotational speed information of the crankshaft 220, the processor 130 can receive the current wheel speed information and/or the crankshaft rotational speed information of the bicycle 200. For example, the processor 130 can be disposed on the bicycle 200, and the processor 130, the wheel speed sensor 110, and the crankshaft speed sensor 120 are electrically connected to the transmission device 180, so that the wheel speed sensor 110 and The crankshaft speed sensor 120 can transmit wheel speed information and/or crankshaft speed information to the processor 130 via the transmission device 180 to enable the processor 130 to receive wheel speed information and/or crankshaft speed information. The transmission device 180 can be, for example, a Bluetooth transmission device and can be disposed on the bicycle 200. In addition, the processor 130 can also command the wheel speed sensor 110 through the transmission device 180. And the crankshaft speed sensor 120 senses the wheel speed information and/or the crankshaft speed information, and transmits back the sensed wheel speed information and/or the crankshaft speed information.

續言之,當處理器130接收到車輪轉速資訊及/或曲柄軸轉速資訊後,可利用概率密度函數演算法對接收到之車輪轉速資訊及/或曲柄軸轉速資訊進行運算動作,藉以可得到自行車200之最佳檔位。舉例而言,以處理器130接收到車輪轉速資訊為例,由機率定義: 以及車輪轉速資訊中之車輪之轉動速度介於最大轉動速度與最小轉動速度之間可知,車輪之轉動速度之機率為 其中,x為車輪轉速資訊中之車輪之轉動速度,a為車輪之最小轉動速度,b為車輪之最大轉動速度,p(x)為“轉動速度為x之機率”。 In other words, after the processor 130 receives the wheel speed information and/or the crankshaft speed information, the probability density function algorithm can be used to perform the operation on the received wheel speed information and/or the crankshaft speed information, thereby obtaining The best gear for bicycle 200. For example, taking the wheel speed information received by the processor 130 as an example, the probability is defined as: And the rotation speed of the wheel in the wheel speed information is between the maximum rotation speed and the minimum rotation speed, the probability of the rotation speed of the wheel is Where x is the rotational speed of the wheel in the wheel speed information, a is the minimum rotational speed of the wheel, b is the maximum rotational speed of the wheel, and p(x) is the probability of the rotational speed being x.

其中,本發明之自行車自動變速系統100所使用之概率密度函數演算法中之機率分布方式可為高斯分布(Gaussian distribution)。其中,高斯機率分布可表示為: 其中c為平均值,σ2為變異數,σ為標準差。 The probability distribution pattern in the probability density function algorithm used by the bicycle automatic transmission system 100 of the present invention may be a Gaussian distribution. Among them, the Gaussian probability distribution can be expressed as: Where c is the average value, σ 2 is the variance number, and σ is the standard deviation.

因此,本發明之自行車自動變速系統100所使用之概率密度函數演算法可為 其中,不同的i代表自行車200之不同檔位,x i 為對應符號i的檔位所應對應之車輪轉動速度,x為目前處理器130所接收到之車 輪轉動速度,σ2為變異數,σ為標準差,p(x i )為基於車輪轉速資訊之對應符號i的檔位所應對應之機率。 Therefore, the probability density function algorithm used by the bicycle automatic transmission system 100 of the present invention may be Wherein, different i represents different gear positions of the bicycle 200, x i is the wheel rotation speed corresponding to the gear position corresponding to the symbol i, x is the wheel rotation speed received by the processor 130, and σ 2 is the variation number. σ is the standard deviation, and p ( x i ) is the probability that the gear position corresponding to the corresponding symbol i based on the wheel speed information should correspond.

所以,當處理器130接收到車輪轉速感測器110所感測到之車輪轉速資訊後,可將車輪轉速資訊中之車輪轉動速度,以及各個檔位所對應到之車輪轉動速度代入例如為計算式(1)之概率密度函數演算法中,藉以計算各個檔位於目前之車輪轉速資訊之情況下所應對應之機率。之後,處理器130可選擇對應之機率為全部之機率中之最大值的檔位,並將此選擇出的檔位指定為目前自行車200之最佳檔位。 Therefore, when the processor 130 receives the wheel speed information sensed by the wheel speed sensor 110, the wheel rotation speed in the wheel speed information and the wheel rotation speed corresponding to each gear position can be substituted into, for example, a calculation formula. (1) In the probability density function algorithm, the probability that each file is located in the current wheel speed information should be calculated. Thereafter, the processor 130 may select a gear position corresponding to the highest of all the probability, and designate the selected gear as the optimal gear of the current bicycle 200.

此外,處理器130對於曲柄軸轉速資訊的處理可類似於對於車輪轉速資訊的處理。亦即,對於曲柄軸轉速資訊的處理而言,計算式(1)中之x i 為對應符號i的檔位所應對應之曲柄軸轉動速度,x為目前處理器130所接收到之曲柄軸轉動速度,而p(x i )則為基於曲柄軸轉速資訊之對應符號i的檔位所應對應之機率。另外,當處理器130同時接收到車輪轉速資訊及曲柄軸轉速資訊時,亦可各別利用計算式(1)對車輪轉動速度及曲柄軸轉動速度,計算對應符號i的檔位所應對應之機率,再對於每一檔位,將基於車輪轉動速度所對應之機率及基於曲柄軸轉動速度所對應之機率相加或進行運算處理,藉以得到每一檔位之比較數值。之後,處理器130可選擇具有最大之比較數值之檔位為最佳檔位。 Moreover, the processing of the crankshaft speed information by the processor 130 can be similar to the processing of wheel speed information. That is, for the processing of the crankshaft rotational speed information, x i in the formula (1) is the crankshaft rotational speed corresponding to the gear position corresponding to the symbol i, and x is the crankshaft currently received by the processor 130. The rotational speed, and p ( x i ) is the probability that the gear position corresponding to the corresponding symbol i based on the crankshaft rotational speed information should correspond. In addition, when the processor 130 receives the wheel speed information and the crankshaft speed information at the same time, the wheel rotation speed and the crank shaft rotation speed of the calculation formula (1) may be separately used, and the gear position corresponding to the symbol i shall be calculated. Probability, for each gear position, the probability corresponding to the rotational speed of the wheel and the probability corresponding to the rotational speed of the crankshaft are added or calculated, so as to obtain the comparison value of each gear. Thereafter, the processor 130 may select the gear having the largest comparison value as the optimal gear.

因此,本發明之自行車自動變速系統100可藉由處理器130利用概率密度函數演算法,對車輪轉速資訊及曲柄軸轉速資訊進行運算動作,藉以得到自行車200之最佳檔位。除此之外,由於處理器130係利用概率密度函數演算法對接收到之資訊進行運算動作,因此可使得所得之最佳檔位較為精準。 Therefore, the bicycle automatic transmission system 100 of the present invention can perform the operation of the wheel speed information and the crankshaft speed information by the processor 130 using the probability density function algorithm, thereby obtaining the optimal gear position of the bicycle 200. In addition, since the processor 130 uses the probability density function algorithm to perform arithmetic operations on the received information, the optimal gear position obtained can be made more accurate.

另外,電子變速機構140係設置於自行車200之後車輪 230上以變速自行車200。並且,電子變速機構140電性連接處理器130,以使得當處理器130計算出自行車200之最佳檔位後,電子變速機構140可變更自行車200之現行檔位(亦即目前之自行車200之檔位)為最佳檔位,藉以自動變速自行車200。其中,電子變速機構140亦可電性連接傳輸裝置180,以使得處理器130將計算出之最佳檔位轉為一資訊並將此資訊傳輸至電子變速機構140,藉以使得電子變速機構140變更自行車200之現行檔位為接收到之最佳檔位。 In addition, the electronic shifting mechanism 140 is disposed on the wheel behind the bicycle 200 230 on the variable speed bicycle 200. Moreover, the electronic shifting mechanism 140 is electrically connected to the processor 130, so that when the processor 130 calculates the optimal gear position of the bicycle 200, the electronic shifting mechanism 140 can change the current gear position of the bicycle 200 (ie, the current bicycle 200). The gear position is the best gear, and the automatic shift bicycle 200 is used. The electronic shifting mechanism 140 can also be electrically connected to the transmission device 180, so that the processor 130 converts the calculated optimal gear position into a piece of information and transmits the information to the electronic shifting mechanism 140, so that the electronic shifting mechanism 140 is changed. The current gear of the bicycle 200 is the best gear received.

除此之外,當處理器130得到自行車200目前之最佳檔 位後,亦可控制電子變速機構140變更自行車200之現行檔位為處理器130所計算出之最佳檔位。舉例而言,電子變速機構140可例如具有伺服馬達141,使得處理器130可根據得到之最佳檔位而控制伺服馬達141之脈波寬度,藉以使得電子變速機構140變更自行車200之現行檔位為最佳檔位。其中,處理器130可例如具有相互電性連接之概率密度計算模組131及脈衝寬度調變模組132,此概率密度計算模組131係接收車輪轉速感測器110所傳送之車輪轉速資訊及曲柄軸轉速感測器所傳送之曲柄軸轉速資訊,再利用例如為計算式(1)或基於計算式(1)之概率密度函數演算法,對接收到之車輪轉速資訊及曲柄軸轉速資訊進行運算動作,藉以得到自行車200之最佳檔位。而脈衝寬度調變模組132則可於接收到概率密度計算模組131所得到之最佳檔位之資訊後,根據此最佳檔位之資訊控制伺服馬達141之脈波寬度,藉以使得電子變速機構140變更自行車200之現行檔位為最佳檔位。 In addition, when the processor 130 obtains the current best gear of the bicycle 200 After the position, the electronic shifting mechanism 140 can also be controlled to change the current gear position of the bicycle 200 to the optimal gear position calculated by the processor 130. For example, the electronic shifting mechanism 140 can have, for example, a servo motor 141 such that the processor 130 can control the pulse width of the servo motor 141 according to the obtained optimal gear position, thereby causing the electronic shifting mechanism 140 to change the current gear position of the bicycle 200. For the best gear. The processor 130 can have, for example, a probability density calculation module 131 and a pulse width modulation module 132 electrically connected to each other. The probability density calculation module 131 receives the wheel rotation speed information transmitted by the wheel speed sensor 110 and The crankshaft speed information transmitted by the crankshaft speed sensor is used to calculate the received wheel speed information and the crankshaft speed information using, for example, a calculation formula (1) or a probability density function algorithm based on the calculation formula (1). The operation is performed to obtain the best gear of the bicycle 200. The pulse width modulation module 132 can control the pulse width of the servo motor 141 according to the information of the optimal gear position after receiving the information of the optimal gear position obtained by the probability density calculation module 131. The shifting mechanism 140 changes the current gear position of the bicycle 200 to the optimal gear position.

Moreover, the automatic bicycle shifting system 100 of the present invention may further include a manual shifting device 170, and the manual shifting device 170 is disposed on the handle 250 of the bicycle 200 and connected to the electronic shifting mechanism 140, so that the electronic shifting mechanism 140 can be manually changed. Whether the gear unit 170 adjusts or transmits the signal comes out to determine whether the rider of the bicycle 200 has manually shifted gears. If YES, proceed to step 906: switch the gear position, that is, the electronic shifting mechanism 140 changes the current gear position to the gear position that the rider wants to adjust by the manual shifting device 170; if "No", then proceed Step 901.

而若於步驟901中,本發明之自行車自動變速系統100之處理器130判定自行車200之騎乘者欲進行自動變速,則本發明之自行車自動變速系統100先進行步驟902:感測轉速及扭力,亦即,利用車輪轉速感測器110、曲柄軸轉速感測器120及扭力感測器150各別感測車輪轉速資訊、曲柄軸轉速資訊以及曲柄扭 力資訊。之後,再進行步驟903:進行概率密度函數演算,亦即處理器130可利用例如為計算式(1)之概率密度函數演算法而得到自行車200之最佳檔位。其中,若本發明之自行車自動變速系統100電性連接例如為手機之手持裝置300時,亦可於得到最佳檔位或得到車輪轉速資訊、曲柄軸轉速資訊以及曲柄扭力資訊後,進行步驟904:傳輸感測資訊及運算資訊,亦即本發明之自行車自動變速系統100可利用傳輸裝置180將所得到之最佳檔位及/或車輪轉速資訊、曲柄軸轉速資訊以及曲柄扭力資訊,傳輸至手持裝置300,藉以使得騎乘者可即時得知自行車200目前之資訊。 而當處理器130得到自行車200之最佳檔位後,可進行步驟905:判斷是否需要切換檔位。舉例而言,處理器130可比對得到之最佳檔位與自行車200之現行檔位是否一樣,若“是”,則判斷自行車200不需要切換檔位;若“否”,則判斷自行車200需要切換檔位。而於步驟905中,若處理器130判斷需要切換檔位,則先進行步驟906以使得電子變速機構140變更自行車200之現行檔位為最佳檔位後,再進行另一次之步驟901;反之,若於步驟905中處理器130判斷不需要切換檔位,則本發明之自行車自動變速系統100可直接再次進行步驟901。 If, in step 901, the processor 130 of the automatic bicycle shifting system 100 of the present invention determines that the rider of the bicycle 200 wants to perform the automatic shifting, the automatic bicycle shifting system 100 of the present invention first performs step 902: sensing the rotational speed and the torque. That is, the wheel speed sensor 110, the crankshaft speed sensor 120, and the torque sensor 150 are used to sense the wheel speed information, the crankshaft speed information, and the crank twist.

Thereafter, step 903 is performed to perform a probability density function calculation, that is, the processor 130 can obtain the optimal gear position of the bicycle 200 by using, for example, a probability density function algorithm of the formula (1). If the bicycle automatic transmission system 100 of the present invention is electrically connected to the handheld device 300 such as a mobile phone, step 904 may be performed after obtaining the optimal gear position or obtaining the wheel speed information, the crankshaft speed information, and the crank torque information.

When the processor 130 obtains the optimal gear position of the bicycle 200, step 905 can be performed: determining whether the gear position needs to be switched. For example, the processor 130 can compare whether the obtained optimal gear position is the same as the current gear position of the bicycle 200. If “Yes”, it is determined that the bicycle 200 does not need to switch gear positions; if “No”, it is determined that the bicycle 200 needs to be Switch gears. In step 905, if the processor 130 determines that the gear position needs to be switched, the step 906 is performed first, so that the electronic shifting mechanism 140 changes the current gear position of the bicycle 200 to the optimal gear position, and then performs another step 901; If the processor 130 determines in step 905 that the gear shift is not required, the bicycle automatic shifting system 100 of the present invention can directly perform step 901 again.

因此,本發明之自行車自動變速系統100可使得自行車200因應不同之地形、騎乘者之狀況及自行車200之速度而智慧型地自動變速,藉以節省騎乘者之體力以及使得騎乘者得到較多之快樂及便利性。 Therefore, the bicycle automatic shifting system 100 of the present invention can make the bicycle 200 intelligently shift automatically according to the different terrain, the situation of the rider and the speed of the bicycle 200, thereby saving the physical strength of the rider and making the rider more capable.
