Publication number: 20220033027Abstract: A straddled vehicle, including a vehicle frame structure, a drive unit including a drive motor that receives electric power and outputs driving power, a driving wheel that receives the driving power, and an electric power generation unit. The electric power generation unit includes an electric power generation engine configured to output engine power, and an electric power generator that is fixed to the electric power generation engine and is electrically connected to an electric power transfer medium having flexibility. The electric power generator is configured to convert the engine power into the electric power, and supply the electric power to the drive motor via the electric power transfer medium. The straddled vehicle is series-hybridized by the drive unit and the electric power generation unit. The electric power generation engine is swingably supported, independently of the drive unit, by the vehicle frame structure, such that the engine power is not mechanically supplied to the driving wheel.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2021Publication date: February 3, 2022Inventors: Kyohei KANEKO, Naoki KITAMURA, Yasushi TAKEMOTO

Publication number: 20220033034Abstract: A straddled vehicle, including a frame structure, a rear arm, a driving wheel rotatably supported by the rear arm, a power source unit, and a drive unit including a gear box, a drive motor and a control unit. The drive motor is arranged with an off-set toward a first direction from a center of the straddled vehicle, without overlapping the power source unit in a side view. The control unit is further in a second direction than the drive motor, and overlaps the drive motor, but does not overlap the power source unit, in the side view. The gear box is further in the second direction than the drive motor, and overlaps the drive motor in the side view. The gear box is also further in the first direction than the control unit, and overlaps with the control unit, but does not overlap the power source unit, in the side view.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2021Publication date: February 3, 2022Inventors: Kyohei KANEKO, Yasushi TAKEMOTO

Publication number: 20220032765Abstract: A straddled vehicle including a frame structure having a frame body, a rear arm swingably supported by the frame structure, a driving wheel rotatably supported by the rear arm, a drive motor supported by the frame structure or the rear arm, and an electric power generation unit supported by the frame body but not by the rear arm. The electric power generation unit includes: an electric power generation engine arranged with an offset toward a first direction from a center of the straddled vehicle with respect to a left-right direction, not overlapping the drive motor in a side view; and an electric power generator further in a second direction, opposite to the first direction, than the electric power generation engine, overlapping the electric power generation engine, but not overlapping the drive motor, in the side view. The electric power generator is driven by the electric power generation engine to generate electric power.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2021Publication date: February 3, 2022Inventors: Naoki KITAMURA, Yasushi TAKEMOTO

Patent number: 10978986Abstract: A shortening of an initial diagnosis time is achieved, even after an elapse of a predetermined delay time from an ignition switch being switched to an off-state. After the ignition switch is switched to an off-state after an operation of a control device, which drives an electric motor that applies steering assistance force to a steering system, diagnosis of a power supply circuit that supplies power to the control device is carried out, and a diagnosis item to be implemented in a succeeding initial diagnosis is determined based on a result of the diagnosis.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2015Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Seiichi Imaizumi, Susumu Zeniya, Yuji Takatsuka, Yasushi Takemoto
