Patent number: 11891145Abstract: An estimation device estimates a stroke quantity indicating a displacement in an up-and-down direction of a vehicle, in a multistage elastic member in which a plurality of members, each having a different load displacement characteristic indicating a relationship between a load and the displacement, are disposed. The estimation device comprises: a load calculation unit configured to calculate a variable ground contact load received by a wheel of the vehicle from a ground contact surface; a state quantity estimation unit configured to estimate the stroke quantity generated in the multistage elastic member; and a characteristic change unit configured to change a setting of the initial value to an estimated load displacement characteristic.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2022Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Yohei Kawasaki, Yosuke Wada, Shunichi Miyagishi

Patent number: 10151264Abstract: A remaining fuel amount warning device for a vehicle, the remaining fuel amount warning device giving a warning that an amount of fuel remaining in a fuel tank is smaller than a predetermined value on the basis of output of a fuel gauge measuring the remaining fuel amount, includes combustion state changing device for changing the combustion state of an engine. When the remaining fuel amount becomes smaller than the predetermined value, the remaining fuel amount warning device performs remaining amount warning control that produces vibration different than during normal operation by changing the combustion state of the engine by the combustion state changing device. A starter switch for starting the engine is made to serve also as a warning acknowledging button for stopping the remaining amount warning control for a predetermined time on the basis of an operation by an occupant.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2015Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Takashi Tetsuka, Yasumasa Matsui, Ryuta Niimura, Shunichi Miyagishi, Jun Adachi, Kosuke Kuroda

Patent number: 10059398Abstract: An axle extends in an axial direction. A front wheel is rotatable around a wheel rotational axis. A front wheel supporting arm rotatably supports the axle. A front fork swingably supports the front wheel supporting arm such that the front wheel supporting arm is rotatable in a first direction about the wheel rotational axis. A rotary member is rotatable together with the axle around the wheel rotational axis. An axle rotation detector is supported on the axle opposite to the rotary member in the axial direction to be rotatable around the wheel rotational axis to detect a difference between rotational speeds of the axle rotation detector and the rotary member. A link mechanism is provided between the axle rotation detector and the front fork to turn the axle rotation detector in a second rotational direction opposite to the first rotational direction about the wheel rotational axis.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2016Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Hiroyuki Kaneta, Kazunari Iguchi, Shunichi Miyagishi, Yotaro Mori, Yuichi Uebayashi
