- the hydraulic oil is accommodated in the cylinder 64.
- the cylinder 64 is partitioned into two spaces (a first space 66A and a second space 66B) by the piston body 62A.
- the first space 66A and the second space 66B are connected to each other by an attenuation circuit 68. Therefore, the hydraulic oil can move between the first space 66A and the second space 66B via the attenuation circuit 68.

For example, when the antiphase vibration is generated in the lower left arm 44L and the upper right arm 42R, that is, when the antiphase vibration is generated in the pair of front wheels 14L and 14R, the vibration can be attenuated by the damper 40.

- ABS antilock brake system
- the position signal D3 is a signal output from the position detection unit 100, and indicates the position of the valve body included in the switching valve 76. That is, the position detection unit 100 detects whether or not the link mechanism 36 is in a locked state. When the valve body is in a position to close the flow path in the switching valve 76, the position detection unit 100 outputs a lock position signal as the position signal D3. When the valve body is in a position that does not block the flow path in the switching valve 76, the position detection unit 100 outputs a lock release position signal as the position signal D3.

For this determination, the determination result of the lock condition determination unit 86A and the operation signal D4 input to the lock mechanism control unit 86 are used.
- the operation signal D4 is a signal output from the operation unit 104.
- the operation unit 104 continuously outputs the operation signal D4 to the lock mechanism control unit 86 when an operation by the occupant is performed.

- the lock control unit 86C controls the lock mechanism 80 and puts the link mechanism 36 into the lock state when the operation signal D4 is input in a state that satisfies the lock condition. Specifically, the lock control unit 86C drives the actuator 78 to move the valve body included in the switching valve 76. Thereby, the valve body closes the flow path in the switching valve 76. As a result, the link mechanism 36 is locked. Note that the determination result of the signal input determination unit 86B is used to determine whether or not the operation signal D4 is input in a state that satisfies the lock condition.
- the lock control unit 86C brings the link mechanism 36 into the unlocked state when a predetermined unlocking condition is satisfied.
- the unlock condition may be, for example, that the occupant operates a lock release switch, or that the vehicle speed becomes faster than a predetermined vehicle speed.
- the lock release switch may be realized by the operation unit 104, for example.

- Condition 3 is established when the current vehicle speed is slower than the predetermined vehicle speed.
- the lock mechanism control unit 86 ends the lock control.
- the lock mechanism control unit 86 determines whether or not the occupant has an intention to lock the link mechanism 36 in step S2. Specifically, the signal input determination unit 86B determines whether or not the input condition is satisfied. The input condition is satisfied when the following condition 4 is satisfied. Condition 4: The operation signal D4 is input.
- the signal input determination unit 86B determines whether or not the operation signal D4 is input. Condition 4 is satisfied when the operation signal D4 is input.
- the operation signal D4 may be input before the lock condition is satisfied, or may be input after the lock condition is satisfied.
- the lock mechanism control unit 86 ends the lock control.
- the lock mechanism control unit 86 sets the link mechanism 36 in the locked state in step S3. Specifically, the lock control unit 86C drives the actuator 78 to bring the link mechanism 36 into a locked state. Thereafter, the lock mechanism control unit 86 ends the lock control.

Specifically, the notification control unit 86D determines whether or not the link mechanism 36 is in a locked state with reference to the input position signal D3. When the lock position signal D3 is input, the link mechanism 36 is in a locked state.
- step S11: NO When the link mechanism 36 is not in the locked state (step S11: NO), the notification control unit 86D ends the notification control.
- step S11: YES the notification control unit 86D determines whether or not the notification condition is satisfied in step S12. Specifically, the notification condition determination unit 116 determines whether or not the vehicle travels for a predetermined time at a vehicle speed lower than the vehicle speed when the link mechanism 36 is locked.
- step S12 If the notification condition is not satisfied (step S12: NO), the notification control unit 86D ends the notification control. On the other hand, when the notification condition is satisfied (step S12: YES), the notification control unit 86D performs notification by the lock notification unit 112 in step S13. Specifically, the operation of the lock notification unit 112 is controlled to notify the occupant that the link mechanism 36 is in a locked state. Thereafter, the notification control unit 86D ends the notification control.

- the first vehicle speed is lower than the vehicle speed when the link mechanism 36 is locked, and is not zero.
- the first vehicle speed is, for example, 6 km / h.
- the lock state of the link mechanism 36 can be notified immediately after the link mechanism 36 is locked. It becomes easy for the passenger to recognize the locked state of the link mechanism 36.
- the notification by the lock notification unit 112 may be terminated when the current vehicle speed is lower than the first vehicle speed.
- the notification by the lock notification unit 112 is performed by sound and display, for example, when the current vehicle speed becomes lower than the first vehicle speed, the notification by sound may be terminated.
- the notification condition may be satisfied when the vehicle speed when the link mechanism 36 is locked is higher than the first vehicle speed.
- the notification condition may be satisfied when a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds) elapses after the link mechanism 36 is locked. If a certain amount of time elapses after the link mechanism 36 is locked, there is a possibility that the occupant does not accurately recognize the state of the link mechanism 36. In such a case, the occupant can recognize the state of the link mechanism 36.
- a predetermined time for example, 3 seconds
- the notification condition may be satisfied when the vehicle speed when the link mechanism 36 is locked is equal to or higher than a predetermined vehicle speed and the vehicle travels at the vehicle speed for a predetermined time.
- the vehicle speed may not be constant within the predetermined time.
- the notification by the lock notification unit 112 may be terminated on the same basis as when the notification conditions according to Application Example 1 are employed.

Abstract
Description
鞍乗型車両10は、図1に示すように、車体フレーム12、一対の前輪14L、14R及び後輪16を備える。
図2を参照しながら、前輪支持機構30について説明する。前輪支持機構30は、リンク機構36、サスペンション38及びダンパ40を備える。
リンク機構36は、一対の前輪14L、14Rを車体フレーム12(例えば、ヘッドパイプ20の前方に配置されるフロントフレーム)に接続する。リンク機構36は、左上アーム42L、右上アーム42R、左下アーム44L、右下アーム44R、左ナックルアーム46L及び右ナックルアーム46Rを備える。
図2に示すように、サスペンション38は、リンク機構36に配置される。サスペンション38は、シリンダ54と、ピストン56とを備える。
図2に示すように、ダンパ40は、リンク機構36に配置される。ダンパ40は、ピストン62と、シリンダ64とを備える。ピストン62は、左下アーム44Lに対して、揺動可能に取り付けられる。シリンダ64は、右上アーム42Rに対して、揺動可能に取り付けられる。
図4を参照しながら、鞍乗型車両10が備える制御装置84について説明する。図4は、制御装置84に入力される信号及び制御装置84から出力される信号を説明するためのブロック図である。
続いて、ロック機構制御部86がリンク機構36をロック状態にするための制御(ロック機構制御部86によるロック制御)について説明する。なお、ロック機構制御部86によるロック制御は、以下のものに限定されない。
条件1:リンク機構36がロック解除状態である。
条件2:現在のスロットル開度がゼロである。
条件3:現在の車速が所定の車速よりも遅い。
条件4:操作信号D4が入力されている。
続いて、報知制御部86Dによる報知制御について説明する。報知制御部86Dは、報知条件を満たす場合に、ロック報知部112を制御し、リンク機構36のロック状態を報知する。
報知条件は、リンク機構36がロックされている状態での車速が第1の車速以上である場合に成立してもよい。ここで、第1の車速は、リンク機構36がロックされたときの車速よりも低速であって、且つ、ゼロではない。第1の車速は、例えば、6km/hである。
報知条件は、リンク機構36がロックされてから所定時間(例えば、3秒)経過した場合に成立してもよい。リンク機構36がロックされてからある程度の時間が経過すると、乗員がリンク機構36の状態を正確に認識していない可能性がある。このような場合に、リンク機構36の状態を乗員に認識させることができる。
報知条件は、リンク機構36がロックされている状態での車速が所定の車速以上であって、且つ、当該車速で所定時間走行している場合に成立してもよい。所定時間内において、車速は一定でなくてもよい。このような報知条件を採用する場合には、応用例1に係る報知条件を採用する場合と同様な基準で、ロック報知部112による報知を終了してもよい。
