MOTOR CONTROL SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MICROMOBILITY TRANSIT VEHICLES

Motor control systems and methods for micromobility transit vehicles are provided. A micromobility transit vehicle may include an electric motor configured to drive a rotation of a wheel. The electric motor may include a plurality of windings and a plurality of switching circuits. The switching circuits may be configured to selectively direct current from a power supply through the windings to generate a torque by the electric motor to drive the rotation of the wheel in response to associated control signals. The switching circuits may be configured to passively bypass the windings in response to an interruption of the control signals. Depletion of the power supply may result in the interruption of the control signals.

Bicycle braking and parking device

A bicycle braking and parking device includes a casing, two brake pads, a locking pin, and an electromagnetic driver. The casing has an accommodation space and two pistons located at two opposite sides of the accommodation space. The accommodation space can accommodate part of a brake disk. The brake pads are located at the accommodation space and located between the pistons. The pistons can push the brake pads, and the brake pads can clamp the brake disk. The locking pin is movably disposed on the casing. The electromagnetic driver can force the locking pin to move between a released position and a locked position. when the locking pin is in the released position, the locking pin is separated from the brake disk. When the locking pin is in the locked position, the locking pin is inserted into the brake disk to limit a motion of the brake disk.

Anti-theft device for bicycles by braking at least one wheel
11794835 · 2023-10-24 ·

Anti-theft device of a bicycle wheel includes at least one braking unit having two pads acting on a rim of the wheel and an actuator to control at least one braking unit. The actuator includes two tie-rods pivoting on shafts and is actuated by a key acting on a key cylinder to press the pads on the rim of the wheel. Each tie-rod is driven at one end by a secondary transmitter piston interacting with a primary transmitter piston and driving a receiver piston holding the pad at its other end. The rotational movement of the key cylinder is converted into a translational movement of the primary transmitter piston by an indirect movement converter.
