  Riders can ride on a sideboard rollerboard such as a freeboard on a street, sidewalk, park, sports complex or other road surface to simulate the unique motion of a snowboard. However, such roller boards are usually configured to descend down slopes, mountains or hills. This is because while riding on a flat terrain or riding on a sloping terrain, it is usually not possible to continue the side-sliding movement unique to such boards. If the rider does not go to the slopes, hills or mountains, the board will usually not work as designed. As a result, such circumstances generally contribute to the limited acceptance of such boards. This is because it is not so popular for the general public to go to slopes, hills or mountains. In the “carving” style with a pair of skateboard tracks, the electric skateboard allows the rider to ride without human power, but the electric skateboard is generally on the side of the snowboard or side-sliding rollerboard Can't do sideways.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an exemplary embodiment of a powered side planing rollerboard according to the present disclosure. The powered lateral sliding roller board 100 includes a platform 102, which comprises a central portion 104, a front portion 106, and a rear portion 108. The pedestal 102 includes a pair of side portions 110 extending longitudinally along the pedestal 102 through the front portion 106, the central portion 104 and the rear portion 108. The platform 102 is made of at least one of plastic, metal, rubber, wood, and glass, or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the front portion 106 is sufficiently different from the rear portion 108 in at least one of size and shape so that the rider can easily distinguish them visually. However, in other embodiments, the front portion 106 is not sufficiently different from the rear portion 108 in at least one of size and shape so that the rider can easily distinguish the two visually. Further, in some embodiments, the side portions 110 are symmetric with respect to each other, while in other embodiments, the side portions 110 are asymmetric with respect to each other. In some embodiments, the platform 102 is either wider or longer than a conventional skateboard platform. Here, the conventional skateboard platform is at least about 7 inches to about 9 inches wide and about 31 inches to about 34 inches long. For example, the platform 102 can be about 10 inches wide and about 40 inches long.

  The board 100 further includes a pair of foot hooks 112 disposed on opposite sides of the platform 102 such as the front portion 106 and the rear portion 108. Each foot hook 112 includes a foot hook plate 114. This plate can be assembled to and / or integral with the foot hook 112. At least one of the foot hooks 112 is made of at least one of plastic, metal, rubber, wood and glass, or any combination thereof. At least one of the foot hooks 112 can be a single body and / or an assembly. Each foot hook 112 includes a pair of opposing rows defined by a plurality of openings 146. At least one of these rows can be circular, square, triangular, or other shape. Although the opposing rows described above extend linearly, these opposing rows can extend in other ways such as arcuate, corrugated or zigzag. The openings 146 can be directly opposite each other, such as through some arrangement, or can be offset from each other. Each foot hook 112 includes a pair of fasteners 144 such as screws or bolts. At least one of the fasteners 144 is made of at least one of plastic, metal, rubber, wood and glass, or any combination thereof. Each fastener 144 corresponds to each row defined by openings 146. For each row defined by the openings 146, each fastener 144 extends through one of the openings 146. By stretching in this way, depending on the rider's comfort, whether or not as measured in length, width and / or height, such as to adapt to the size of various rider's feet The foot hook 112 is adjusted. Accordingly, the fastener 144 can be selectively tightened and loosened.

  At least one of the foot hook plates 114 can be a single body and / or an assembly. At least one of the foot hook plates 114 is made of at least one of plastic, metal, rubber, wood and glass, or any combination thereof. Each foot hook plate 114 defines an opening 116 therein. Each foot hook 112 is secured to the platform 102 by a fastener 118 extending through the opening 116. The opening 116 of the foot hook 112 fixed to the rear portion 108 is circular, and the opening 116 of the foot hook 112 fixed to the front portion 106 is arcuate. As a result, the foot hook 112 fixed to the rear part 108 is fixed in position. This is because the movement of the foot hook 112 fixed to the rear portion 108 is prevented by the opening 116. On the other hand, the foot hook 112 fixed to the front part 106 is rotatable in the horizontal direction. This is because the opening 116 enables the horizontal movement of the foot hook 112 fixed to the front portion 106. Such rotation makes it possible to change the angle of the rider's foot. For example, this angle can range from about 0 degrees to about −45 degrees and from about 0 degrees to about 45 degrees with respect to a plane substantially perpendicular to the virtual longitudinal centerline 120 of the platform 104. In another example, this rotation can be at least about 5 degrees from a center aligned position along line 120 toward at least one of the sides 110. As another method for fixing the foot hook 112 to the base 102, nailing, adhesion, fitting, connection, bolting or clamping may be used. Further, both the foot hooks 112 can be fixed in place, such as the foot hook 112 fixed to the rear portion 108, or the foot hook 112, such as the foot hook 112 fixed to the front portion 106, etc. Note that both 112 can be horizontally rotatable. In some embodiments, the board 100 includes at most one foot hook 112 regardless of whether it is in a fixed position configuration or a horizontally rotating configuration. In other embodiments, at least one of the foot hooks 112 is at least one of U-shaped, C-shaped, E-shaped, T-shaped, O-shaped, P-shaped, J-shaped, D-shaped, H-shaped, L-shaped or V-shaped. It is. Such a foot hook 112 can be placed at any position of the foot hook 112 in any manner by fastening, adhering, fitting or coupling, whether it is placed vertically, horizontally, or upside down. It can be coupled to the base 102 and a foot is inserted therein so that the rider's foot is fixed relative to the base 102. In some embodiments, the board 100 lacks at least one of the foot hooks 112. In some embodiments, the board 100 lacks both of the foot hooks 112 because the rider does not have to ride the board 100 using the foot hooks 112. At this time, at least one of the foot hooks 112 is operably coupled to the platform 102 to provide additional control and support.

  The energy source 122 supplies energy to the motor so that the motor can propel the board 100. The source 122 is composed of at least one of plastic, metal, rubber, wood and glass, or any combination thereof. The source 122 may be an engine, motor, battery, fuel tank, solar cell, capacitor, or other energy source. For example, the fuel tank can contain gasoline that burns in the engine, thereby causing the engine to power the motor and propel the board 100. The source 122 can be rechargeable, whether it is a wireless system such as electromagnetic induction, a wired system such as a wire, or both. The supply source 122 is fixed to the table 102 above the table 102 between the foot hooks 112. Although the source 122 is secured to the pedestal 102 by clamping, in other embodiments, the source 122 is pedestaled by nailing, gluing, fitting, coupling, bolting, clamping, or any combination thereof. 102 is fixed. In yet other embodiments, the source 122 is secured to the platform 102 below the platform 102 between the foot hooks 112. In still other embodiments, the source 122 is not between the foot hooks 122 but at the front 106 and / or the rear 108, etc. It should be noted that regardless of which method is used to power one or more motors, whether synchronous, asynchronous, or both, individually and / or subordinately Any two or more sources 122 in one way and / or in different ways and / or in any kind of correspondence such as one-to-one, many-to-many, one-to-many and / or many-to-one Can be used.

  The board 100 further includes a front track 124 including a pair of front wheels 126 and a rear track 128 including a pair of rear wheels 130. The front track 124 is fixed to the base 102 at the front portion 106 by fastening, bonding, fitting or coupling. The rear track 128 is fixed to the table 102 at the rear portion 108 by tightening, bonding, fitting or coupling. At least one of the front track 124 and the rear track 128, at least one of the front wheels 126, and at least one of the rear wheels 130 are at least one of plastic, metal, rubber, wood and glass, or any combination thereof. Composed.

  In one mode of operation, rider R stands on pedestal 102 so that rider R's feet are under foot hook 112 in a stance similar to that used for snowboarding, surfing or skateboarding. It has become. The rider R is standing sideways, but at this time, the rear foot BF is substantially perpendicular to the line 120, or takes various angles, and the front foot FF is substantially perpendicular to the line, Or take various angles. By taking this stance, the rider R can easily transfer his weight to his toes or his heel. However, many riders have their own “stance” and the angle at that time is known, so that the rider's R feet can take any angle when measured from the line 120. Please be careful. For example, some riders ride in the 30/15 direction. In this case, when measured from the line 120, the front foot FF is 30 degrees and the rear foot BF is 15 degrees. The rider R can move freely around the upper side of the platform 102 as taking different stances according to various movements. Like the conventional skateboard, the front part 106 and the rear part 108 are bent upward from the platform 102. By shifting the weight of the rider R to the front part 106 or the rear part 108, the rider R can perform a number of techniques and exercises. At this time, a part or all of the power side sliding roller board 100 is lifted from the ground where at least one of the front wheel 126 and the rear wheel 130 is rolling. The board 100 can be boarded forward, backward, or sideways.

  FIG. 2 is a bottom view of an exemplary embodiment of a powered side planing rollerboard according to the present disclosure. Some of the elements in this figure have been described above. Accordingly, to avoid complications, the same reference signs identify the same and / or similar components described above, and a detailed description thereof will not be repeated or simplified in the following. It becomes.

  The track 124 includes a fixed wheel assembly 132 and the track 128 includes a fixed wheel assembly 134. These are both arranged along line 120 and oppose each other. In other embodiments, assembly 132 and assembly 134 are offset from each other. In some embodiments, as described at least herein, at least one of assembly 132 and assembly 134 is synchronous, whether independent of each other, subordinate to each other, or both. Powered through a motor, whether asynchronous, asynchronous, or both. In some embodiments, at least one of assembly 132 and assembly 134 is not fixed, such as rotating (eg, within about 50 degrees from line 120 to each side of platform 102). It should be noted that each of the wheel assemblies 132 and assembly 134 may comprise two wheels, less than two wheels, and / or two or more wheels, whether per assembly, per side, or both. Can be provided.

  The board 100 further includes a plurality of motor driven roller assemblies 136, 138 secured to the platform 102 between the assembly 132 and the assembly 134, such as by clamping, bonding, fitting or coupling. However, in other embodiments, at least one of the roller assemblies 136, 138 is between the front end of the platform 102 and the assembly 132, or between the rear end of the platform 102 and the assembly 134, etc. Or there is no roller assembly 136, 138 between assembly 132 and assembly 134. Roller assemblies 136, 138 are aligned with each other and along line 120. However, in other embodiments, roller assemblies 136, 138 are not aligned with each other and / or along line 120. For example, only one of the roller assemblies 136, 138 is aligned along the line 120, or the roller assemblies 136, 138 are offset from each other while not aligned with the line 120. Each roller assembly 136, 138 is configured to rotate 360 degrees relative to the platform 102. Each roller assembly 136, 138 is configured to be elastically biased via a spring (for example, a coiled spring) or the like, and at the same time, always touches the ground while riding, Self-aligns in the direction of the applied force. More specifically, each roller assembly 136, 138 is automatically moved along the line 120 by being elastically biased through a spring or the like without interfering with the motor driving operation of each roller assembly 136, 138. Align and face forward toward the front 106 or rearward toward the rear 108. Such biasing simulates the natural tracking tendency of skis and / or snowboards while improving rider control. It should also be noted that this bias is strong enough to provide rider control and is further configured to substantially prevent the rider from turning the platform 102 and riding sideways. In some embodiments, this bias appears through a roller attached to the frame while rotating about a horizontal axis of rotation. At this time, a cam follower is pivotally coupled to the frame, and a torsion spring is incorporated in the cam follower. The cam follower includes a bearing. The cam follower is forcibly positioned with respect to the cam fixed to the table 102 by an elastic member such as a spring. As a result, the frame is rotated to a position where the force is minimized between the cam and the cam follower. Therefore, the biasing characteristic is determined by adjusting at least one of the cam shape and the spring force applied to the cam follower. One example of a cam is a pair of M-shaped curves. These curves are connected symmetrically to each other at their ends at a pair of vertices. In some embodiments, only one of the roller assemblies 136, 138 is powered by a motor. In some embodiments, at least one of the roller assemblies 136, 138 includes a source 122. It should be noted that although the roller assemblies 136, 138 are described in the context of the board 100, at least one of the roller assemblies 136, 138 is unmanned, whether on the ground, air and / or ocean, manned, or unmanned. Whether using recreational, construction, military, industrial, statutory, or medical purposes, at least using the methods described herein, Suitcases, travel bags, roller skates, industrial equipment, material processing equipment, furniture, toys, carts, robots, wheelchairs, medical equipment, stretchers, beds, moving beds, chairs, tables, shopping carts, premises carts, Other environments, functions and / or such as towing lines, loading platforms, hoes, video game machines, computers and / or vehicles in the factory It can be applied to the structure.

  The fixed wheel assemblies 132, 134 have different functionalities and different effects on the motion compared to the roller assemblies 136, 138. As a result, by placing the fixed wheel assemblies 132, 134 with the roller assemblies 136, 138 as shown, they can be powered across a flat terrain, down a sloping terrain, or up a sloping terrain. The snowboard is simulated relatively effectively while moving. At least one of the fixed wheel assemblies 132, 134 is composed of at least one of plastic, metal, rubber, wood and glass, or any combination thereof. At least one of the roller assemblies 136, 138 is composed of at least one of plastic, metal, rubber, wood and glass, or any combination thereof.

  It should be noted that the roller assemblies 136, 138 may be identical to each other in any manner, at least as described herein, whether structural, functional, or both, and / or Can be different. For example, one of the roller assemblies 136, 138 can be biased and the other of the roller assemblies 136, 138 can be biased, but both can be biased or not biased. You can also. Also, for example, one of the roller assemblies 136, 138 can be powered in one way and the other of the roller assemblies 136, 138 can be powered in the other way, but both in the same way Can also be powered. Further, for example, one of the roller assemblies 136, 138 can comprise one type of motor and the other of the roller assemblies 136, 138 can comprise another type of motor, but both comprise the same type of motor. You can also Further, for example, one of the roller assemblies 136, 138 can comprise one type of drive mechanism and the other of the roller assemblies 136, 138 can comprise another type of drive mechanism, both of which are of the same type of drive. A mechanism can also be provided.

  Note that the fixed wheel assemblies 132 and 134 are arranged at a sufficient interval so that the board 100 can ride on relatively stably. As a result, the board 100 rides in a more stable state as the distance between the fixed wheel assemblies 132, 134 increases. For example, the distance from the transverse axis 140 of the fixed wheel assembly 132 to the transverse axis 142 of the fixed wheel assembly 134 is longer than a conventional skateboard, for example, in some embodiments, there is a difference of about 33%. Further, the fixed wheel assemblies 132 and 134 and the roller assemblies 136 and 138 are sufficiently close to each other so that the fixed wheel assemblies 132 and 134 and the roller assemblies 136 and 138 do not mechanically interfere with each other. Please be careful. Similarly, note that the board 100 rides in a more stable state as the distance between the roller assemblies 136, 138 increases.

  FIG. 3 is a front view of an exemplary embodiment of a powered lateral sliding rollerboard in a first state according to the present disclosure. Some of the elements in this figure have been described above. Accordingly, to avoid complications, the same reference signs identify the same and / or similar components described above, and a detailed description thereof will not be repeated or simplified in the following.

  The roller assembly 136 includes a roller 140. The roller 140 is driven by a motor when power is supplied through the energy supply source 122. The board 100 is in the first boarding state. In this state, the board 100 is on the left wheel 126 and the roller 140 while the right wheel 126 is lifted from the ground by the difference in height of Δh. This first state can be initiated by the rider R leaning toward the left side 110. The left wheel 126 supports rolling by the roller 140 when power is supplied through the motor. The same applies to the rear track 128 and the rear roller assembly 138. In addition, when the rider R shifts his weight from one side to another, the rider R uses the powered lateral sliding roller board 100 to perform carving while receiving power without entering the sliding mode. Note that you can.

  FIG. 4 is a front view of an exemplary embodiment of a powered lateral sliding rollerboard in a second state according to the present disclosure. Some of the elements in this figure have been described above.

  The board 100 is in the second boarding state. In this state, the board 100 is on the roller 140 with the left wheel 126 and the right wheel 126 floating from the ground. This second state can be initiated by the rider R being centered on the platform 102 and / or well balanced without excessive tilting toward the left side 110 or the right side 110. . The roller 140 allows the board 100 to ride in this way, whether or not it is powered by a motor. The same applies to the rear track 128 and the rear roller assembly 138. Also, the weight of the rider R is exclusively on the roller assemblies 136 and 138, and the board 100 rotates in all directions such as 360 degrees regardless of whether or not the power is supplied by the motor. Note that you can ride in any direction by doing It should be noted, however, that this type of ride and / or omnidirectional rotation can be limited through elastic biasing of the roller assemblies 136, 138, such as springs. It should also be noted that entering the omnidirectional riding mode is not necessarily determined by the fact that both wheels 126 are rising from the ground. One factor is how much force is applied to both wheels 126. For example, when the rider R is positioned approximately in the center on the platform 102, the weight of the rider R is substantially on the turning roller 140. This reduces the friction between the wheels 126 and the ground to such an extent that the board 100 can slide sideways.

In this state, the board 100 is riding on the right wheel 126 and the roller 140 in a state where the left wheel 126 is lifted from the ground by the difference in height of Δh. This third state can be initiated by the rider R tilting toward the right side 110. The right wheel 126 assists rolling by the roller 140 when power is supplied through the motor. The same applies to the rear track 128 and the rear roller assembly 138. In addition, when the rider R shifts his weight from one side to another, the rider R uses the powered lateral sliding roller board 100 to perform carving while receiving power without entering the sliding mode. Note that you can.

  Board 100 includes a hardware processor, such as a single core chip or a multi-core chip, and a memory, such as a non-volatile memory (eg, flash memory), operably coupled to the processor. The memory stores a set of instructions for execution by the processor, whether sequential, parallel, or both. For example, the processor and memory can be implemented in a controller coupled to the platform 102, such as by mating, gluing, clamping or coupling. The controller includes a transceiver operably coupled to the processor and an antenna operably coupled to the transceiver, such as an infrared-based and / or radiofrequency (RF) -based short-range radio. Wireless communication with the remote control is possible by a communication protocol or the like. In some embodiments, the controller comprises a receiver instead of a transceiver. A set of instructions directs the board to assist in traction control to optimize the ride speed of at least one of the roller assemblies 136, 138 for specific input from the rider, such as settings. Some examples of such settings include high speed, low speed, super speed, high performance speed, or other setting levels that control traction, acceleration, speed and / or maneuvering. A set of instructions directs to process a set of inputs. These inputs can include a first motor speed, a first motor current, a second motor speed, a second motor current, a user setting, or a remote control potentiometer level. A set of instructions directs to provide a set of outputs. These outputs are relative to at least one of the motors 158 for a first motor speed, a first motor acceleration, a first motor current, a second motor speed, a second motor acceleration, and a second motor current. At least one of them can be controlled. In some embodiments, a set of outputs can also control each motor 158 independently. As a result, only one motor 158 can be used at a time as needed.

At least one of the first speed controller and the second speed controller may be a stand-alone device.

  At block 1006, the processor determines the actual speeds of the first motor 158 and the second motor 158. This actual speed is based on speed data obtained from the first motor speed controller and the second motor speed controller by the monitoring block 1012. Note that the first motor 158 and the second motor 158 are subjected to different loads due to the weight shift of the rider R, which may cause one of the motors 158 to rotate more rapidly. And the actual speed of each of the second motors 158 is monitored based on speed level data from the first motor speed controller and the second motor speed controller.

  At block 1008, the processor calculates the speed of each motor 158, and then based on such calculation, the faster of motor 158 is slowed down to match the speed of slower motor 158, but this new Speed data is sent to the speed controller corresponding to each motor. Alternatively, the reverse is done in the same way by increasing the slower speed of the motor 158. The processor then loops again and again to analyze the speed control data input from the remote control at block 1014.
