Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an autostand device for a motorcycle.

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, an autostand device includes an electric motor connected to a rotation shaft of a stand of a motorcycle, and a switch for operating the electric motor. , The electric motor is operated to raise and lower the stand. Usually, the auto stand device is operated only when the vehicle is stopped and the engine is stopped.

In such an autostand device, for example, when a motorcycle is to be stand-up, it is necessary to keep the switch on until the stand is in a predetermined standing state. The driver turns off the stand switch before the stand is set to the predetermined standing state because it is difficult to check the position because it is hidden, and the stand rotation stops halfway and the reliable stand-up is not performed. There is. Conversely, when the stand is stored from the stand-up state, the storage may not be reliably performed as described above.

For this reason, in this type of autostand device,
It has been desired that a driver can easily confirm whether or not the stand is in a predetermined standing state or stored state.

(Problem to be Solved) In the present invention, in such an automatic stand device, when the stand is raised and lowered by its operation, the driver can easily confirm whether or not the stand is in a predetermined upright state or stored state. It is an object of the present invention to provide an automatic stand device that can perform the operation.

It is another object of the present invention to provide an automatic stand device capable of performing the above-described confirmation only when necessary.

It is another object of the present invention to provide an automatic stand device that can perform the above-described confirmation not only when the motorcycle is stopped but also when the motorcycle is running.

It is still another object of the present invention to provide an auto-stand device capable of saving power when the above-described confirmation is performed using a battery that is charged while the engine of the motorcycle is operating, as a power source.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, an auto-stand device of the present invention is an auto-stand device for remotely rotating a stand of a motorcycle around a rotation axis of the stand. Detection means for detecting that the stand is halfway between the position, a warning means for generating a warning signal to the driver, and the stand by the detection means when the stand stops rotating, and And a warning control means for generating a warning signal by the warning means only when there is a detection of the presence of a warning signal.

Further, the warning means generates a warning signal under the control of the warning control means in any of a stopped state and a running state of the motorcycle.

Further, the warning means is a warning means for generating a warning signal by energization from a battery charged while the engine of the motorcycle is operating, wherein the ignition switch of the motorcycle is stopped when the engine is stopped after the remote operation. Is turned off to reduce the amount of electricity supplied to the warning means compared to the on state of the ignition switch.

Further, in an auto stand apparatus for remotely rotating a stand of a motorcycle around its rotation axis by remote control, detecting means for detecting that the stand is at an intermediate position between a standing position and a storage position, and When the detecting means detects that the vehicle is at the halfway position, the warning signal to the driver is supplied by energization from the battery charged in the operating state of the motorcycle engine in any of the stopped state and the running state of the motorcycle. Warning means for generating
Warning suppression means for turning off the ignition switch of the motorcycle when the engine is stopped after the remote operation, thereby reducing the amount of electricity supplied to the warning means as compared to the on state of the ignition switch. Features.

(Operation) According to this means, when the stand is raised and lowered, when the stand is at an intermediate position between the upright position and the storage position, the stand may be located at the intermediate position. It is detected by the detecting means. When the stand is in the standing position or the storage position, there is no such detection by the detecting means.

And, by providing the warning control means, when raising and lowering the stand, when the stand is rotated by the remote control, the warning control is performed regardless of the detection by the detection means. By the control of the means, the warning means does not generate a warning signal, and when the rotation of the stand is stopped, the warning means issues a warning signal if the detection is performed by the detection means. If the stand is in the standing position or the storage position when the rotation of the stand is stopped, no warning signal is issued in the same manner as described above.

Further, in a case where the warning means generates a warning signal under the control of the warning control means in any of a stopped state and a running state of the motorcycle, when the rotation of the stand is stopped, Is detected, the warning means issues a warning signal not only when the motorcycle is stopped but also in a running state. On the other hand, when the stand is in the standing position or the storage position, no warning signal is issued.

Further, the warning means is a warning means for generating a warning means by energization from a battery charged in an operating state of the engine of the motorcycle, and when the warning control means is provided, when the rotation of the stand is stopped. When the detection is performed by the detection unit, the warning unit is energized from the battery, and the energization generates a warning signal. At this time, the warning means generates a warning signal not only when the vehicle is stopped but also when the vehicle is running, and therefore, whether the engine is in the stopped state or the operating state, but the stand is turned by the remote control. When the battery is not charged while the engine is stopped after being operated, the ignition switch is turned off, and the amount of electricity supplied to the warning means by the warning suppression means is reduced by the time when the ignition switch is turned on. And power consumption of the battery is reduced.

In the above case, if the warning means does not include the warning control means and the detection means detects that the stand is at the halfway position, any one of the stopped state and the running state of the motorcycle is provided. However, when a warning signal to the driver is generated by energization from a battery charged while the engine of the motorcycle is operating, the stand is rotating when there is the above detection by the detection means. A warning signal is issued.

And the rotary switch 3 is turned on. Then, at the standing position X or the storage position Y of the stand 1, the rotating contact piece 3a is separated from the fixed contact piece 3b, and the rotary switch 3 is turned off.

The buzzer 4 is, as shown in FIG.
And connected to the ground side of the battery 8 via the rotary switch 3 as described above, and to the plus side of the battery 8 via the control circuit 5 as shown in FIGS. Wired.

The control circuit 5 includes a thyristor 10 and a transistor 11 as shown in FIG.
The output is connected to the fixed contact 3b of the rotary switch 3 via the first resistor 13 and to the emitter of the transistor 11 via the first resistor 13 only. The gate of the thyristor 10 is connected to the midpoint between the second resistor 14 and the third resistor 15 connected in series between the emitter and the base of the transistor 11.

The collector of the transistor 11 is connected to the buzzer 4 connected to the rotary switch 3 as described above. The base of the transistor 11 includes a relay switch 16, an ignition key switch 17 of a motorcycle (hereinafter abbreviated as a key switch), and a diode 18. It is connected to the positive side of the battery 8 via the order, and further connected to the fixed contact piece 3b of the rotary switch 3 via the fourth resistor 19. Relay switch 16 is first
The switch is turned on when the engine 20 of the motorcycle shown in the drawing is stopped, and is turned off when the engine 20 is operated.

The key switch 17 has an OFF position corresponding to the OFF state of the ignition and an ON position corresponding to the ON state, as well as a normal motorcycle, and has a STAND position for rotating the stand 1 by the electric motor 6. Only when the key switch 17 is set to the STAND position, the key switch 17 in the circuit shown in FIG. 3 is turned on, and
The ignition is turned off. The electric motor 6 is connected to the battery 8 via a relay switch 21 which is turned on when the key switch 17 is set to the STAND position.

In FIG. 3, reference numeral 22 denotes a solenoid for operating the clutch of the electric motor 6.

Next, the operation of the automatic stand device 2 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining the operation.

For example, when you stand up this motorcycle,
First, as an auxiliary operation, the driver turns the stand 1 from the stowed position Y toward the standing position X by himself / herself to some extent, and then turns the stand 1 to the standing position X by the auto-stand device 2. That is, after the driver turns the stand 1 to some extent by himself / herself, the key switch 17 is set to STAND in accordance with the flowchart shown in FIG.
Position. At this time, since the stand 1 is at the intermediate position Z, the rotary switch 3 is turned on, and the ignition is turned off and the engine 20 is stopped as described above. 16 and 21 are turned on, the electric motor 6 is operated, and the stand 1 is rotated.

On the other hand, at the same time, a voltage is applied from the battery 8 to the gate of the thyristor 10 of the control circuit 5 via the third resistor 15, whereby the thyristor 10 is turned on, and a current flows through the thyristor 10 and the first resistor 13. The battery 8 is connected to the base of the transistor 11 through the diode 18.
Is applied, the transistor 11 is turned off, and the buzzer 4 is not energized and does not sound.

The key switch 17 is maintained at the STAND position, and the stand 1 continues to rotate. When the stand 1 rotates to the upright position X, the rotary switch 3 is turned off, the electric motor 6 stops, and the thyristor 10 is turned off. Thyristor 10 is turned off, and buzzer 4 does not sound.

Here, before the stand 1 reaches the standing position X, that is, when the stand 1 is in the middle position Z, the key switch 17 is pressed.
When the engine 20 is started by setting the switch to the ON position, or the key switch 17 is set to the OFF position, the key switch 17 is turned off in the circuit shown in FIG. 3, so that the relay switch 21 is turned off and the electric motor 6 is turned off. The stand 1 stops and the stand 1 stops at the middle position Z. At the same time, a voltage is applied from the battery 8 to the base of the transistor 11 via the thyristor 10 and the third resistor 15, so that the transistor 11 is turned on, the buzzer 4 is energized and sounds, and the driver is informed. Issues a warning.

Therefore, in this auto-stand device 2, after the key switch 17 is set to the STAND position and the stand 1 is rotated,
When the stand 1 stops at the middle position Z, the buzzer 4 sounds, and the control circuit 5 does not sound the buzzer 4 while the stand 1 is rotating.

Further, the buzzer 4 can be operated either when the key switch 17 is turned on and the engine 20 is started as described above after the rotation of the stand 1 or when the key switch 17 is turned off. When the stand 1 stops at the middle position Z, the sound is emitted regardless of whether the vehicle is stopped or running. In order to stop the noise, the driver must turn the key switch 17 again to the STAND position and rotate the stand 1 to the standing position X according to the flowchart shown in FIG.

As described above, in the automatic stand device 2, when the stand 1 is at the halfway position X after the operation by the driver, the buzzer 4 emits a warning sound, so that the driver can easily confirm this. .

Also, when the stand 1 is rotated from the standing position X to the storage position Y, the key switch 17 is set to the STAND position in the same manner as described above according to the flowchart shown in FIG.
At this time, when the stand 1 stops at the intermediate position Z after the rotation, the buzzer 4 sounds as described above.

In this embodiment, the buzzer 4 can be made to sound during the rotation of the stand 1 as well as the buzzer 4 after the rotation of the stand 1 as described above.
Makes it possible for the driver to check the position of the stand 1 only when necessary.

Next, a second example of the auto-stand device of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
This will be described with reference to FIG. 6 and FIG. FIG. 5 is a circuit diagram of a second example auto stand apparatus 2 ', and FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining the operation thereof.

The auto-stand device 2 'is different from the circuit shown in FIG. 3 in that the suppression circuit 24 as the warning suppression means, comprising another key switch 17a interlocked with the key switch 17 and a fifth resistor 23, is provided in the circuit shown in FIG. The relay switch 16 linked to the engine 20 is provided on the ground side of the key switch 17.

That is, the input side of the thyristor 10 is connected to the suppression circuit 24.
Is connected to the positive side of the battery 8 via a fifth resistor 23, and both ends of the fifth resistor 23 are connected via a key switch 17a. This key switch 17a is key switch 17
In the same manner as in the above, an OFF position, an ON position, and a STAND position are provided, and the ON position and the STAND position are short-circuited. In the circuit shown in FIG. 5, the key switch 17a is turned on only at the ON position or the STAND position.
At the STAND position 7a, the ignition is turned off.

In the auto stand device 2 ′, similarly to the auto stand device 2, for example, after the driver turns the stand 1 from the storage position Y to some extent by himself as an auxiliary operation when the motorcycle stands up, STAND key switches 17 and 17a according to the flowchart shown in FIG.
By setting the position, the electric motor 6 operates to rotate the stand 1, and the buzzer 4 does not sound by the control circuit 5 during the rotation. When the key switch 17, 17a is set to, for example, the ON position when the stand 1 is rotating at the intermediate position Z, that is, when the rotary switch 3 is in the ON state, the ON state of the key switch 17a is changed as described above. Since the both ends of the fifth resistor 23 are kept short-circuited, the circuit shown in FIG. 5 is equivalent to the circuit shown in FIG. 3 when the stand 1 stops at the middle position Z, and the normal volume is the same as that of the auto-stand device 2. The buzzer 4 sounds to warn the driver.

On the other hand, if the key switches 17 and 17a are turned to the OFF position while the stand 1 is rotating at the intermediate position Z, the key switch 17a is turned off and both ends of the fifth resistor 23 are not short-circuited. Electricity is supplied from the battery 8 through the fifth resistor 23. Therefore, the amount of electric current is smaller than when the key switches 17, 17a are turned to the ON position as described above, and the warning sound of the buzzer 4 is reduced. Also, turn off key switches 17, 17a
If the key switches 17, 17a are switched to the ON position while the buzzer 4 is sounding at a small volume at the position, the volume becomes the above-mentioned normal volume.

As described above, in the automatic stand device 2 ', if the key switch 17, 17a is turned to the ON position to stop the rotation of the stand 1 when the stand 1 is in the middle position Z, the buzzer 4 sounds at a normal volume. At this time, key switches 17, 17a are turned off.
By setting the position to the F position, the amount of power to the buzzer 4 is reduced, and the volume of the buzzer 4 can be reduced.

This is effective in the following points. That is, the battery 8 is normally charged by the operation of the engine 20 in the ON position of the key switches 17 and 17a, that is, in the ignition ON state, but the engine 20 is in the OFF position of the key switches 17, 17a, and thus in the OFF state of the ignition. Since the battery 8 is stopped and the battery 8 is not charged, the power consumption of the battery 8 can be reduced by reducing the amount of power to the buzzer 4 at the OFF position of the key switches 17 and 17a as described above, thereby saving power. it can.

Also, the stand 1 by the auto-stand device 2 '
When the engine 20 is started by turning the key switches 17, 17a to the ON position after the rotation of the buzzer 4, the buzzer 4 sounds at a normal volume when the stand 1 is stopped at the intermediate position Z. The warning sound can be easily confirmed without being disturbed by the operation sound of the vehicle.

In the auto stand device 2 ', the relay switch 21 for energizing the electric motor 6 from the battery 8 is used.
Is connected to the solenoid 22 by a delay circuit 22a shown in FIG.
Is turned on after the operation of (1), so that the electric motor 6 is energized after the clutch is connected.

Next, a third example of the auto-stand device of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
Description will be made with reference to the drawings. FIG. 7 is a circuit diagram of an auto-stand device 2 ″ of the third example.

In the automatic stand device 2 ", the emitter of the transistor 11 is connected to the battery 8 via the switch 25 instead of the thyristor 10 as shown in FIG. The emitter and the base are connected via a sixth resistor 26 as shown in FIG.7 instead of the second resistor 14 and the third resistor 15. Then, the rotary switch 3 is turned off only at the standing position X of the stand 1. The switch 25 is configured to be in the ON state at the middle position Z and the storage position Y of the stand 1, and the switch 25 has the same configuration as the rotary switch 3 in the upright position X and the storage position Y of the stand 1. It is configured to be in an off state and to be in an on state at an intermediate position of the stand 1.

In the automatic stand device 2 ″, as in the case of the automatic stand device 2, while the key switch 17 is in the STAND position and the stand 1 is rotated, the transistor 11 is turned off and the buzzer 4 does not sound. When the stand 1 is in the middle position Z after the rotation, the rotary switch 3 and the switch 26
Then, the transistor 11 is turned on and the buzzer 4 sounds. Since the rotary switch 3 is turned on at the storage position Y of the stand 1, when the stand 1 is rotated from the storage position Y to the standing position X to stand up the motorcycle, as in the auto stand device 2. It is not necessary for the driver to rotate the stand 1 from the storage position Y to some extent by himself as an auxiliary operation.
The relay switch 21 is turned on just by setting the switch to the STAND position, and the electric motor 6 is energized and operated, whereby the stand 1 is rotated. Therefore, stand-up of the motorcycle can be performed more easily.

In this embodiment, the buzzer 4 is used as a warning means, but it is a matter of course that other warning means such as a warning lamp can be used.

(Effects) As is clear from the above description, according to the auto-stand device of the present invention, when the stand stops rotating in remote operation of the stand, the stand is moved between the standing position and the storage position. The warning control means generates a warning signal by the warning means only when there is a detection by the detection means that the vehicle is at the middle position, so that the driver can easily confirm the position of the stand only when necessary.

In addition, when the warning means generates a warning signal under the control of the warning control means in both the stopped state and the running state of the motorcycle, the driver does not hinder the position of the stand not only at the time of stopping but also at the time of running. You can check.

Further, the warning means is a warning means for generating a warning signal by energization from a battery charged while the engine of the motorcycle is operating, wherein the ignition switch is turned off when the engine is stopped after the remote operation. Therefore, when the warning switch is provided to reduce the amount of power supplied to the warning unit from the ON state of the ignition switch, the amount of power supplied from the battery to the warning unit decreases when the ignition switch is not charged and the battery is not charged. In addition, the power consumption of the battery can be reduced to save power.
