SELF-STABILIZING DIRECTION-CONTROLLED VEHICLE WITH AT LEAST THREE WHEELS Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: transport engineering. SUBSTANCE: invention relates to self-balancing vehicles with at least three wheels, two of which are mounted at both sides of gravity center relative to longitudinal axis of vehicle, at least one of the wheels can be direction controlled. At least one section of vehicle can be tilted around vehicle longitudinal axis and it is provided with transducer for measuring value and/or direction of load or forming and/or maintaining direction of direction-controlled wheel in motion. Transducer is connected with control element of at least one direction-controlled wheel. Power-assisted tilting element is used for tilting indicated section of vehicle around vehicle longitudinal axis. This tilting element is connected with indicated transducer to provided tilting as a function of data received from transducer. EFFECT: provision of high stability at high-speed cornering. 19 cl, 18 dwg
