DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Specific implementations of the present disclosure will be further described below with reference to accompanying drawings.


It is easy to understand that according to the technical solution of the present disclosure, a variety of structural modes and implementation modes can be mutually replaced by those skilled in the art without changing the substantive spirit of the present disclosure. Therefore, the following specific implementations and accompanying drawings are only exemplary descriptions of the technical solution of the present disclosure, and should not be regarded as the whole of the present disclosure or as the limitation or restriction of the technical solution of the present disclosure.


The directional terms of up, down, left, right, front, rear, front side, rear side, top, bottom and other orientations mentioned or possibly mentioned in this description are defined relative to the structures shown in the accompanying drawings. They are relative concepts, so they may change accordingly according to their different positions and use states. Therefore, these or other directional location terms should not be interpreted as restrictive terms.


A drift motorcycle according to embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 1, includes a body 001 and an advancing unit 002 arranged on the body 001 and configured to provide advancing power for the body 001, and the body 001 is further provided with a tilting unit 003 and a transverse moving unit 004;


the tilting unit 003 is movably mounted on the body 001, and two ends of the tilting unit 003 extend from two sides of the body 001 to control the body 001 to switch between an upright state and a tilting state; and the transverse moving unit 004 is arranged at the two sides of the body 001. The transverse moving unit 004 is in contact with the traveling surface when the tilting unit 003 controls the body 001 to switch to the tilting state, to generate transverse power along a width of the body 001.


It should be noted that, as shown in FIG. 1, an X direction is a width direction of the body 001, a direction indicated by an X arrow is defined as a left side, and its opposite side is a right side. A Y direction is a length direction of the body 001, a direction indicated by a Y arrow is a front end, and its opposite end is a rear end. A Z direction is a height direction of the body 001, a direction indicated by a Z arrow is an upper side, and its opposite side is a lower side. The foregoing definitions will continue to be used later.


Specifically, the tilting unit 003 is configured to provide a tilting force for the body 001, and the transverse moving unit 004 is configured to provide transverse power for the body 001. The advancing power, the tilting force and the transverse power function jointly act on the body 001 to realize the tilt drifting.


Both the advancing unit 002 and the transverse moving unit 004 may be designed as wheels to drive the body 001 to move in the length direction Y and the width direction X through rolling of the wheels.


When the motorcycle moves forward, the tilting unit 003 does not provide the tilting force, the transverse moving unit 004 does not drive or is not in contact with the traveling surface, and the body 001 only moves forward under the advancing power provided by the advancing unit 002.


When the motorcycle drifts, the tilting unit 003 provides the tilting force by moving in the width direction X of the body 001 to tilt the body 001 to the left side or to the right side. The advancing unit 002 and the transverse moving unit 004 drive simultaneously to provide the advancing power and the transverse power for the body 001 respectively. The advancing power is along the length direction Y of the body 001, and the transverse power is along the width direction X of the body 001, the advancing power and the transverse power are perpendicular to each other, and combined action of the two types of power provides oblique power for the body 001. At this time, the body 001 tilts to the left side or to the right side and moves obliquely simultaneously, thus showing an effect of tilt drifting. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the body 001 may include a left housing 101 and a right housing 102 symmetrically arranged in a left-right direction. The left housing 101 and the right housing 102 are embedded with each other. The advancing unit 002, the tilting unit 003 and the transverse moving unit 004 are arranged between the left housing 101 and the right housing 102. In order to improve the simulation degree, a driver model 103 may further be mounted on the body 001, and the driver model 103 may be fixedly or detachably mounted on the left housing 101 and the right housing 102.


According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the advancing unit 002 and the transverse moving unit 004 drive the body 001 to move obliquely, and the body 001 is tilted through the cooperation of the tilting unit 003, thus realizing the effect of tilt drifting of the motorcycle, simulating the drifting process of the real motorcycle, and improving the driving skills and traveling smoothness of the motorcycle.


In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the tilting unit 003 includes a balancing assembly 01 and a driving assembly 02. The balancing assembly 01 is movably arranged on the body 001, and two ends of the balancing assembly 01 are located at two sides of the body 001 respectively. The balancing assembly 01 includes a balanced state and an unbalanced state;

    • the body 001 is in the upright state when the balancing assembly 01 is in the balanced state;
    • The body 001 is in the tilting state when the balancing assembly 01 is in the unbalanced state; and
    • the driving assembly 02 is configured to drive the balancing assembly 01 to switch between the balanced state and the unbalanced state.


Specifically, the balancing assembly 01 is arranged along the width direction X of the body 001. The two ends of the balancing assembly 01 are located at the left side and the right side of the body 001 respectively. The driving assembly 02 causes the left side and the right side of the body 001 to be unbalanced by driving the balancing assembly 01 to move, thus changing a center of gravity of the body 001 and tilting the body 001.


The driving assembly 02 may control the balancing assembly 01 to move in the width direction X of the body 001, and may further control the balancing assembly 01 to rotate relative to the body 001.


In the tilting unit 003 according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the movable balancing assembly 01 is mounted on the body 001, so that the weight and structure of the left side and the right side of the body 001 may become asymmetric, to tilt the body 001.


In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the tilting unit 003 further includes a balance detecting assembly 08 mounted on the body 001, and the balance detecting assembly 08 is directly facing a center position of the balancing assembly 01 in the balanced state. The driving assembly 02 is controlled to stop driving in response to that the balance detecting assembly 08 detects that the balancing assembly 01 is in the balanced state when the balancing assembly 01 switches from the unbalanced state to the balanced state.


The balance detecting assembly 08 may be designed as a contact switch. The balancing assembly 01 is not in contact with the contact switch when it is in the unbalanced state. Only when the balancing assembly 01 is in the balanced state, it may be in contact with the contact switch. Therefore, the contact switch may detect whether the balancing assembly 01 is restored to the balanced state, so as to control the driving mechanism to stop driving.


Specifically, the balance detecting assembly 08 and the driving assembly 02 may communicate with each other through a controller, such as a one-chip computer. When the balance detecting assembly 08 detects the balancing assembly 01, the balance detecting assembly sends a signal to the controller, and the controller disconnects the power supply of the driving assembly 02, thus controlling the driving assembly 02 to stop driving, so that the balancing assembly 01 remains in the balanced state.


In one embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, the balancing assembly 01 is a swing bar, a length direction of the swing bar is arranged along the width direction X of the body 001, and two ends of the swing bar extend from the left side and the right side of the body 001 respectively; and the driving assembly 02 drives the swing bar to swing at the left side and the right side of the body 00; an end of the swing bar extending from one side of the left side and the right side abuts against the traveling surface when the swing bar swings towards the one side, to tilt the body 001 towards the other side.


The swing bar is arranged symmetrically in the left-right direction; when the body 001 is in the upright state, a length of the swing bar extending from the left side and a length of the swing bar extending from the right side of the body 001 are identical, and the swing bar is in the balanced state; and at this time, the body 001 is symmetrical in the left-right direction;

    • when the body 001 drifts towards the left side, the swing bar swings towards the right side, to provide the body with a swing force towards the left side, so that the body 001 tilts towards the left side; and
    • when the body 001 drifts towards the right side, the swing bar swings towards the left side, to provide the body with a swing force towards the right side, so that the body 001 tilts towards the right side.


Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the swing bar includes a central swing member 11 and two swing arms 12 rotatably coupled to two ends of the central swing member 11. The swing arm 12 extends obliquely towards the traveling surface, a coupling end of the swing arm 12 is resiliently and rotatably coupled to the central swing member 11. A free end of the swing arm 12 at one side of the body abuts against the traveling surface when the central swing member 11 swings towards the one side of the body 001, to provide a reverse pushing force for the body 001, and to push the body 001 to the other side of the swing arm 12, thus tilting the body 001, and preventing the body 001 from rolling over effectively by the abutment of the swing arm 12 against the traveling surface.


An upper end of the swing arm 12 is the coupling end coupled to the central swing member 11, and a lower end is the free end. The central swing member 11 is configured to couple to the driving assembly 02. When the driving assembly 02 drives the central swing member 11 to swing to the left, the swing bar moves to the left side as a whole, and at this time, the lower end of the swing arm 12 on the left side abuts against the traveling surface, to push the body 001 to tilt to the right side. When the driving assembly 02 drives the central swing member 11 to swing to the right, the swing bar moves towards the right side as a whole, and at this time, the lower end of the swing arm 12 on the right side abuts against the traveling surface, to push the body 001 to tilt to the left side. The swing arm 12 is resiliently and rotatably coupled to the central swing member 11.


The swing arm 12 is squeezed by the traveling surface and rotates slightly relative to the central swing member 11 when the lower end of the swing arm 12 abuts against the traveling surface. If the body 001 returns to the upright state, the swing arm 12 is resiliently restored. This arrangement reduces the impact on the swing arm 12 when the body 001 tilts, and prevents the swing arm 12 from being damaged.


The driving assembly 02 includes a swing bar power device 21 and a swing bar transmission assembly 22. The swing bar transmission assembly 22 couples the swing bar power device 21 and the central swing member 11. The swing bar power device 21 drives the central swing member 11 to swing through the transmission of the swing bar transmission assembly 22.


The swing bar power device 21 may adopt a rotary motor or an extension-retraction motor. The swing bar transmission assembly 22 is configured to match the output power of the swing bar power device 21 with the central swing member 11. For example, a rotating force of the rotary motor is converted into a pushing force in the left-right direction of the central swing member 11. Or, when an extension-retraction direction of an extension-retraction shaft of the extension-retraction motor is not in a same direction as a swinging direction of the central swing member 11, the swing bar transmission assembly 22 may drive the central swing member 11 to swing when the extension-retraction shaft extends or retracts.


As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the swing bar transmission assembly 22 includes a swing bar input gear 221 and a swing bar output gear 222 coupled in a transmission manner. The central swing member 11 is provided with a swing gear 111, the swing bar input gear 221 is coupled to the swing bar power device 21, and the swing bar output gear 222 is meshed with the swing gear 111.


In this embodiment, the swing bar power device 21 adopts a rotary motor, the swing bar input gear 221 is fitted over a rotating shaft of the rotary motor, and the rotating shaft drives the swing bar input gear 221 to rotate synchronously when rotating.


The swing bar input gear 221 may be meshed with the swing bar output gear 222 to directly drive the swing bar output gear 222 to rotate. The swing bar output gear 222 may also be indirectly driven through at least one swing bar transmission gear 223. As shown in FIG. 5, three swing bar transmission gears 223 are meshed sequentially, the swing bar transmission gear 223a is meshed with the swing bar input gear 221 and the swing bar transmission gear 223b, the swing bar transmission gear 223c is meshed with the swing bar transmission gear 223b and the swing bar output gear 222, and the rotating force of the swing bar input gear 221 is transmitted to the swing bar output gear 222 through the swing bar transmission gears 223a, 223b and 223c sequentially.


The swing gear 111 on the central swing member 11 is meshed with the swing bar output gear 222. An arc where the swing gear 111 is located is arranged along the width direction X of the body 001. The swing bar output gear 222 drives the swing gear 111 to rotate. The central swing member 11 is controlled to swing in the width direction X of the body 001 by controlling a rotating direction of the swing bar power device 21.


Alternatively or additionally, as shown in FIG. 4, the swing bar driving unit 02 is further provided with a driving housing 23, and the swing bar power device 21 and the swing bar transmission assembly 22 are mounted in the driving housing 23, thus improving the structural integrity and facilitating the assembly.


In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, each swing arm 12 includes a first arm body 121, a second arm body 122, and a roller 123. One end of the first arm body 121 is rotatably coupled to the central swing member 11, and the other end of the first arm body 121 is rotatably coupled to one end of the second arm body 122. Restoring torsion springs (not shown in the figure) are coupled between the first arm body 121 and the central swing member 11 and between the first arm body 121 and the second arm body 122. The roller 123 is rotatably coupled to the other end of the second arm body 122.


The swing arm 12 is designed to two sections, namely the first arm body 121 and the second arm body 122. A rotation axis L1 of the first arm body 121 and the central swing member 11 is arranged along the length direction Y of the body 001. A rotation axis L2 of the second arm body 122 and the first arm body 121 is arranged along the height direction Z of the body 001 when the first arm body 121 rotates into a condition in which the first arm body 121 is arranged along the width direction of the body 001. In addition, the rotation axis L2 is always perpendicular to the rotation axis L1 during the rotation of the first arm body 121. Restoring torsion springs are coupled between the first arm body 121 and the central swing member 11 and between the first arm body 121 and the second arm body 122 to realize resilient restore of the swing arm 12.


The roller 123 is configured to reduce friction between the swing arm 12 and the traveling surface, so that the body 001 moves forward and drifts more smoothly.

The side wheel assembly 07 drives the body 001 to move along the width direction X when rotating, and the transmission shaft 61 is arranged along the width direction of the body 001. The two side wheel assemblies 07 are rotatably mounted at two ends of the transmission shaft 61, respectively. The power assembly 06 simultaneously drives the two side wheel assemblies 07 to rotate through the transmission of the transmission shaft 61.


The two side wheel assemblies 07 are not in contact with the traveling surface when the body 001 is in the upright state. The side wheel assembly 07 at the left side is in contact with the traveling surface when the body 001 tilts towards the left side, to provide the body 001 with the transverse power towards the left side. The side wheel assembly 07 at the right side is in contact with the traveling surface when the body 001 tilts towards the right side, to provide the body 001 with the transverse power towards the right side.
