Patent Searching and Data


Title:
VEHICLE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2014069673
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To propose a vehicle which is capable of turning stably.

A vehicle includes: a lean device 50 which inclines a vehicle body 30 in right and left directions; a gyroscope device 60 which rotates a gyroscope having a flywheel that rotates using a pitch shaft as a rotational axis, around a yaw shaft by using a gimbal motor in order to generate gyroscopic moment acting around a roller shaft; and a steering device 40 having a steer-by-wire mechanism. The lean device 50 is driven so that the vehicle body 30 is inclined to an inner side of the rotation, the gyroscope device 60 is driven so that the gyroscope moment is generated acting in a direction of suppressing overturning when the vehicle is at risk of overturning, and the steering device 40 is driven in a direction of cancelling an over-steering or under-steering tendency due to the gyroscopic moment acting around the yaw shaft with respect to an inclination of the vehicle in the right and left directions. Accordingly, the vehicle can turn more stably and be prevented from overturning.
