Method of operating anti-lock braking system of bicycle
A method of operating an anti-lock braking system (ABS) of a bicycle comprising steps of: judging whether a power of a battery meets a set value; judging a moved angular position of a brake lever; outputting electric currents to operate the ABS; and judging whether a running speed of the bicycle is zero. When the power meets the set value, the ABS is turned on, and when the power of the battery is low, the ABS is not turned on. After the brake lever is pressed, the control unit judges whether the moved angular position of the brake lever reaches a set position. When the moved angular position does not reach the set position, the ABS is not turned on. When the moved angular angle reaches the set position, the ABS is turned on. The control unit outputs the electric currents to turn on the ABS, thus braking the bicycle.
1. A method of operating an anti-lock braking system (ABS) of a bicycle comprising steps of:
using a control unit to judge whether a power of a battery meets a set value, wherein the control unit is electrically connected with the battery, when the power of the battery meets the set value, the ABS mounted on the bicycle is turned on automatically, and when the power of the battery is low, the ABS is not turned on;
judging a moved angular position of a brake lever by way of the control unit, wherein after the brake lever below a handle is pressed to brake the bicycle, the control unit judges whether the moved angular position of the brake lever reaches a set position, when the moved angular position of the brake lever does not reach the set position, the ABS is not turned on; when the moved angular angle reaches the set position, the ABS is turned on;
outputting electric currents to operate the ABS by using the control unit, wherein the control unit outputs the electric currents automatically to turn on the ABS to brake the bicycle; and
judging whether a running speed of the bicycle is zero by way of the control unit, wherein when the running speed of the bicycle is zero, the control unit sends a brake releasing instruction to the ABS so as to eliminate a braking of the bicycle, thus stopping operation of the ABS,
wherein the control unit includes a microcontroller (MCU) configured to calculate a pulse width modulation (PWM) automatically based on climbing forces of a front wheel and a rear wheel of the bicycle, to control an output proportion of the electric currents, wherein when a climbing force of the rear wheel is more than a climbing force of the front wheel, an output proportion of the electric currents of the rear wheel is more than an output proportion of the electric currents of the front wheel.
2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the control unit is fixed on the bicycle and is configured to monitor the power of the battery, and the control unit is electrically connected with and is configured to control the anti-lock braking system to operate or to stop, wherein the control unit is electrically connected with a displayer and at least one angular sensor, wherein the displayer is configured to display signal light data, and the at least one angular sensor is mounted on the brake lever.
3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the control unit monitors a power capacity of the battery so as to judge whether the power capacity reaches the set value, and the set value is at least more than 10% of the power capacity.
4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein when the power of the battery does not reach the set value, the control unit turns off the ABS is automatically.
