Abstract

A battery module provided with a memory unit that stores identification information of the battery module, a motor module provided with a memory unit that stores identification information of the motor module, a battery control unit that controls the battery module, a motor control unit that controls the motor module, and a control module provided with the battery control unit and the motor control unit in a single module are provided. The battery control unit and the motor control unit respectively read the identification information of the modules and further load parameters for the battery module and the motor module corresponding to the identification information in response to activation of the control module.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A ridable-machine comprising:
a battery module provided with a memory unit that stores identification information of the battery module; a motor module provided with a memory unit that stores identification information of the motor module; a battery control unit that controls the battery module; a motor control unit that controls the motor module; and a control module provided with the battery control unit and the motor control unit in a single module, wherein the battery control unit and the motor control unit respectively read the identification information of the modules and further load parameters for the battery module and the motor module corresponding to the identification information in response to activation of the control module.

2 . The ridable-machine according to claim 1 , wherein the battery module and the motor module are respectively provided with the parameters and
the battery control unit and the motor control unit respectively load the parameters from the battery module and the motor module after the identification information is read in response to the activation.

3 . The ridable-machine according to claim 1 , wherein the battery control unit and the motor control unit respectively load, after the identification information is read in response to the activation, the parameters from a storage that stores the parameters of the battery module and the motor module in association with the identification information through a communication line.

4 . The ridable-machine according to claim 1 , wherein the battery module includes
a plurality of batteries connected in series, a current and voltage measurement unit that measures a current of the plurality of batteries connected in series and a voltage of a first battery of the plurality of batteries in accordance with a measurement instruction, and a plurality of voltage measurement units that measures the voltage of a second battery other than the first battery of the plurality of batteries in accordance with a measurement instruction, and wherein the voltage measurement units are daisy-chained to the current and voltage measurement unit through a communication interface, the current and voltage measurement unit and the voltage measurement units are provided with a battery monitor system that transfers the measurement instructions to the other voltage measurement units through the daisy chain, the identification information is assigned to the first battery, the second battery, the current and voltage measurement unit, and the voltage measurement units individually, as a selective combination thereof, or comprehensively, and a unique parameter corresponding to the identification information is set.

5 . The ridable-machine according to claim 4 , wherein the identification information is individually assigned to the first battery, the second battery, the current and voltage measurement unit, and the voltage measurement units.

6 . The ridable-machine according to claim 4 , wherein the identification information is assigned to the first battery and the current and voltage measurement unit comprehensively and also assigned to the second and the voltage measurement units comprehensively.

7 . The ridable-machine according to claim 4 , wherein the identification information is comprehensively assigned to the first battery, the second battery, the current and voltage measurement unit, and the voltage measurement units.

8 . A ridable-machine control management system comprising:
a battery module provided with a memory unit that stores identification information of the battery module; a motor module that generates a drive force by receiving power from the battery module, the motor module being provided with a memory unit that stores identification information of the motor module; a battery control unit that controls the battery module; a motor control unit that controls the motor module; and a control module provided with the battery control unit and the motor control unit in a single module, wherein the battery control unit and the motor control unit respectively read the identification information of the modules in response to an activation of the control module and further load parameters from a storage that stores the parameters in association with the identification information of the battery module and the motor module through a communication line.

9 . The ridable-machine according to claim 8 , wherein the storage is provided in a cloud server.
