- the control device 20 when the speed is less than 15 km / h, the control device 20 according to the fourth embodiment sets the first regeneration determination value having the positive threshold value of the acceleration of the auxiliary power-equipped bicycle 1 to increase the uphill. Assist the rider of the bicycle 1 with auxiliary power that is traveling.
- the frequency of the regenerative state of the DC motor 42 and the battery 44 is set by setting the second and third regeneration determination values having negative acceleration threshold values of the bicycle 1 with auxiliary power. Let me up.
- the second speed range is divided into two at a low speed range and a high speed range at a speed of 15 km / h. It is preferable that it can be changed by a person who uses 1. For example, when a value smaller than the speed of 15 km / h is set, the assist state period decreases and the regenerative state period increases. That is, the set value of the two divisions is a criterion for determining whether to enter the assist state.
- a battery having an upper limit standard value of current value per cell that emphasizes energy density is 6.3A.
- a current of at least about 15 A is required, and the upper limit standard value is exceeded with only one cell of the battery. Therefore, three cells can be connected in parallel to handle a maximum current of 18.9 A. It is configured as follows.
- a 15A battery can be used.
- the size and cost of the battery can be reduced to 1/3 of the conventional one. Further, even when the upper limit standard value of a maximum of 18.9A that a general auxiliary powered bicycle has is equal to or higher than that, if a battery with an upper limit standard value of 15A is used, it is only necessary to connect two cells in parallel. Can be reduced to 2/3 of the conventional size and cost.
- control device for the mobile device with auxiliary power is provided with a sensor for detecting the pedaling force torque in order to control the assist force.

さらに、本発明は、補助力を発生するためのモータとバッテリとを備えた補助動力付き移動機器の制御装置であって、補助動力付き移動機器の速度を検出する速度検出手段と、補助動力付き移動機器の加速度を検出する加速度検出手段と、速度検出手段が検出した速度および加速度検出手段が検出した加速度に基づき、モータおよびバッテリを、アシスト状態、回生状態およびニュートラル状態のいずれか1つの状態に切り替える回生制御手段と、を備え、回生制御手段は、補助動力付き移動機器の速度に応じて、補助動力付き移動機器の加速度の回生判定値を予め記憶しており、ある速度での加速度検出手段が検出した加速度が回生判定値以上の場合に、モータおよびバッテリを回生状態に切り替えること、を特徴とする、補助動力付き移動機器の制御装置である。
また、本発明の補助動力付き移動機器の制御装置は、補助動力付き移動機器の速度が、少なくとも0km/hから第1のしきい値速度までの第1の速度範囲、第1のしきい値速度から第2のしきい値速度までの第2の速度範囲、および第2のしきい値速度より速い第3の速度範囲を有し、前記第2の速度範囲において、前記第2の速度範囲が低速域と高速域とに2分割され、回生制御手段は、補助動力付き移動機器の低速域に対して、補助動力付き移動機器の加速度の正の閾値を有する第1の回生判定値を予め記憶しており、低速域の速度での加速度検出手段が検出した加速度が、第1の回生判定値以上の場合に、モータおよびバッテリを回生状態に切り替え、第1の回生判定値未満の場合に、モータおよびバッテリをアシスト状態に切り替えると共に、回生制御手段は、補助動力付き移動機器の高速域に対して、補助動力付き移動機器の加速度の負の閾値を有する第2の回生判定値を予め記憶しており、高速域の速度での加速度検出手段が検出した加速度が、第2の回生判定値以上の場合に、モータおよびバッテリを回生状態に切り替え、第2の回生判定値未満の場合に、モータおよびバッテリをニュートラル状態に切り替えること、が好ましい。

図2は、補助動力付き移動機器の制御装置の一実施の形態を示すブロック図である。
従って、このような制御プログラムによって、回生状態の時間の割合が大きくなるように制御することができる。この場合、例えば、往路における走行状態(例えば、往路の距離の情報や往路において各速度の範囲に対応する回生判定値が設定されている制御プログラムが実行された時間の情報等)を記録しておき、その往路における走行状態を記録した情報を、復路を走行する際にフィードバックさせることで、実施するようにしてもよい。その結果、より一層の電池切れの抑制や、充電頻度の低下が期待できる。
