Abstract

A method and a system for detecting the state of a two-wheel balance vehicle are provided. The method comprises the following steps: S1, detecting pressure output by pedals of the two-wheel balance vehicle in real time after starting; S2, judging if the pressure increases; S3, if the pressure increase is greater than a predetermined half-load threshold value, switching into half-loaded state; and if the pressure increase is greater than a predetermined full-load threshold value, switching into fully-loaded state. Through the method and the system, getting on and off the vehicle becomes more convenient, effectively improving safety for drivers.

Claims

1. A method for detecting the state of a t heel balance vehicle, comprising the following steps:

S1, detecting pressure output by pedals of the two-wheel balance vehicle in real time after starting;

S2, judging if the pressure increases;

S4, if the pressure increase is greater than a predetermined half-load threshold value, switching into a half-loaded state; and

if the pressure increase is greater than a predetermined full-load threshold value, switching into fully-loaded state.

2. The method for detecting the state of a two-wheel balance vehicle according to claim 1, between step S4 and step S2, also comprising step S3:

if the pressure increase is greater than a half-load threshold value, recording the pressure value at the previous moment of current pressure change, and setting the pressure value as zero point of pressure.

3. The method for detecting state of a two-wheel balance vehicle according to claim 2, said method also comprising steps:

S5, calculating difference between the current pressure output by pedals and pressure at the zero point in real time after switching into the fully-loaded state;

S6, if the difference between the current output pressure and the pressure at the zero point is smaller than a full-load threshold value and greater than a half-loaded threshold value, switching from the fully-loaded state into the half-loaded state; and

if the difference between the current output pressure and pressure at zero point is smaller than the half-load threshold value, switching from the fully-loaded state into the empty-loaded state.

4. A system for detecting the state of a two-wheel balance vehicle, said system comprising a detecting unit for detecting pressure output by pedals of the two-wheel balance vehicle in real time;

a judging unit for judging change of pressure;

a comparing unit for comparing change amount of the pressure with a predetermined half-load threshold value and a full-load threshold value.

5. The system for detecting the state of a two-wheel balance vehicle according to claim 4, said system also comprising a recording unit for recording the pressure value at the previous moment of the current pressure change when the pressure increase is greater than the half-load threshold value after starting;

and a setting unit for setting zero point of pressure.

6. The system for detecting the state of a two-vehicle balance vehicle according to claim 5, said system also comprising a calculating unit for calculating difference between the current pressure output by pedals and the pressure at the zero point.
