Modification of a Rider's Torque Signal to Optimize the Start-up Behavior of a Pedelec - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18431385 titled 'Modification of a Rider's Torque Signal to Optimize the Start-up Behavior of a Pedelec
The abstract describes a control device for an electric bicycle drive that receives a rider's input torque, determines an output torque based on the input torque in different value ranges, calculates a supporting torque based on the output torque, and controls the drive accordingly.
- The control device receives and retrieves a rider's input torque.
- It determines an output torque based on the rider's input torque in different value ranges according to specific rules.
- A supporting torque is calculated based on the output torque.
- The drive is controlled based on the supporting torque.
- The rules for determining the output torque in different value ranges are distinct from each other.
- The second rule is a continuous function with the rider's input torque as an input parameter.
Potential Applications: - Electric bicycles - Electric scooters - Electric motorcycles
Problems Solved: - Efficient control of electric bicycle drives based on rider input torque - Optimal performance and support for riders of electric bicycles
Benefits: - Enhanced rider experience - Improved efficiency of electric bicycle drives - Customized support based on rider input torque
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Control Device for Electric Bicycle Drives" This technology can be utilized in the electric bicycle industry to enhance rider experience and optimize performance. It can also be integrated into electric scooters and motorcycles for improved control and efficiency.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the control device optimize the output torque based on the rider's input torque? 2. What are the key differences between the rules for determining the output torque in different value ranges?
Original Abstract Submitted
A control device of a drive of an electric bicycle is disclosed. The control device is designed to (i) receive and/or retrieve a rider's input torque applied by a rider of the electric bicycle, (ii) determine an output torque based on the rider's input torque in a first value range of the rider's input torque according to a first rule, in a second value range of the rider's input torque according to a second rule and in a third value range of the rider's input torque according to a third rule, (iii) determine a supporting torque based on the output torque, and (iv) control the drive in accordance with the supporting torque. The second value range directly adjoins the first value range and the third value range. The first rule and the second rule and the third rule are different from one another. And the second rule is a continuous function with the rider's input torque as input parameter.
