Description:TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present subject matter relates generally to a vehicle having a floorboard. More particularly but not exclusively the present subject matter relates to the vehicle having the floorboard with a weight measuring system.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Nowadays, with the advancement in the technology, user health while riding a vehicle is a prime focus. The ever-busy life of the new era and a progressing society has made it difficult for people to do any form of exercise to take care of their health so as to stay fit. There are many indoor and outdoor activities that are available for people to do in order to stay fit, but there is always time crunch to do those activities. People can hardly spare time to go to such places or to a gym to carry out a small physical or mental activity to stay fit. Many-a-times, people are not even aware or focused to even care about the basic health parameters. Even it is difficult for people to keep track of the basic personal health related data like weight, BMI (Body mass index), blood pressure, and the like.
[0003] There is always a need to have a health monitoring system which is user friendly and cost effective so that it makes the life of the user easy and specially for those who are health conscious. The need for the health care among the user makes the development of health monitoring systems for vehicles imperative. People, nowadays, are more concerned with their health than ever before, and now everyone likes to keep a track of their fitness and health, regardless of health-related issues. Many individuals might not be able to purchase any equipment or device related to health measuring parameters like a weighing scale for residential use in order to assess their weight due to financial constraints or due to other practical usage reasons.
[0004] Apart from this, there is no means available to know the change in weight or force being exerted on the vehicle during the operation of the vehicle, which impacts on the fuel efficiency of the vehicle and thus puts unnecessary force on the vehicle. Also, many users of the vehicle put many articles on the vehicle, either on a seat behind a rider/user of the vehicle or on the floorboard of the vehicle, which affects the fuel efficiency and ultimately the overall efficiency of the vehicle. Currently there is no means provided on the vehicle to check the total force or weight being exerted on the vehicle to ensure that the force or weight exerted on the vehicle is within safe limit and is not adversely affecting the fuel efficiency or affecting the durability of the different parts of the vehicle. In addition to this, when the vehicle is navigating through slopes or hilly region, there is no means to measure the force or weight exerted on the vehicle to regulate the various running parameters associated with the vehicle to achieve maximum efficiency and more durability.
[0005] The above-mentioned problems are very critical and therefore, effective means to know weight or force being exerted on the vehicle is vital for the operation, safety, and health of the user of the vehicle. Thus, there is a need to overcome the above-mentioned problems and other problems of known art.

[0008] In an embodiment, the measured weight is sent to an application of a smart device 104 of the user/rider of the vehicle 100 to be displayed on a display (not shown) of the smart device 104. In an embodiment, the measured weight and the plurality of preset health related guidelines are sent to the control unit 108 or to the application of the smart device 104 or to both through a wired connection. In an embodiment, the measured weight and the preset health related guidelines are sent to the control unit 108 or to the application of the smart device 104 or to both through a wireless connection. In an embodiment, the smart device 104 includes a mobile phone, a laptop, a tablet, a watch, a smart helmet, and the like.
[0009] In an embodiment, the number of one or more load cells 106 can be one load cell. In another embodiment, the number of one or more load cells 106 can be two load cells. In another embodiment, the number of one or more load cells 106 can be three load cells. In an embodiment, the number of one or more load cells 106 can be four load cell. The minimum number of load cells in the one or more loads 106 is one, however, the maximum number of the load cells are not restricted, and the number of load cells can vary based on the design and requirement of the weight measuring system of the vehicle 100.
[00010] In an embodiment, the one or more load cells 106 is the gauge load cell. However, the type of the load cells to be used depends on the design of the vehicle 100 and the load requirement of the user. In one embodiment, the control unit 108 can be an external unit or an internal unit. In another embodiment, the control unit 108 can be vehicle control unit placed inside the vehicle 100.
[00011] In the embodiment having four load cells 106, the four load cells are placed on four corners of the floorboard 102 forming a square structure. The weight of the user/rider is measured when the vehicle 100 is rested on a centre stand (not shown) and the user/rider of the vehicle 100 is standing on the floorboard 102. In an embodiment, weight of any article placed on the floorboard 102 is measured when the vehicle 100 is rested on the centre stand and the article to be weighed is placed on the floorboard 102. In yet another embodiment having three load cells 106, one of the load cell of the three load cells 106 is disposed on the floorboard 102 in front of a cover front (not shown), the cover front being disposed below a seat assembly 110, two load cells of the three load cells 106 being disposed on a front side of the floorboard 102 and in a proximity of a rear cover panel (not shown), forming a triangular structure.
[00012] Fig.2 exemplarily illustrates a block diagram as per the present invention. The block diagram illustrates a weight measuring system in a vehicle 100. The weight measuring system includes the one or more load cells 106 disposed on the floorboard 102 of the vehicle 100, the one or more control unit 108, and the smart device 104. In the present embodiment, the control unit 108 is a vehicle control unit. The vehicle control unit 108 includes one or more amplifiers 108a, one or more converters 108b, and one or more processors 108c. The one or more load cells 106 measure weight on the floorboard 102 of the vehicle 104. This measured weight is sent to the control unit 108 for further processing, and after the measured weight is processed, then the weight, BMI, and other preset health related guidelines are displayed on the display unit 112 of the vehicle 100.
[00013] The load cells 106 converts a force into an electrical signal that can be measured. The electrical signal changes proportionally to the force applied. In the present embodiment, a strain gauge load cells are used which is composed of a metal bar with attached strain. The resistance of the strain gauges varies when an external force is applied to it, which results in a deformation of the sensor shape, more specifically deformation of the metal surface takes place. The change of the resistance is proportional to the load applied, which allows the calculation of the weight placed on the floorboard 102 of the vehicle 100. The changes in the resistance of the strain gauges are small when sent to the vehicle control unit 108, while weighing the weight of the user or any article. The vehicle control unit 108 performs the function of signal amplification, signal conversion, and signal processing to amplify and further process the signal to obtain a desired output. In an embodiment, the vehicle control unit 108 has a display device (not shown) where the processed data is displayed as weight. In the present embodiment, the processed data as weight, BMI, and preset health related guidelines are displayed on the display unit 112 of the vehicle 100.
[00014] In another embodiment, the measured weight is also communicated to the smart device 104 which is paired with the vehicle control unit 108 by wireless or wired connections. In the present embodiment, a Bluetooth communication is employed to establish the wireless connection between the application of the smart device 104 and the vehicle control unit 108. The vehicle control unit 108 may collect data of other associated health parameters in the application of the smart device 104 such as user height, user age, and the like, and calculate the BMI and displays the BMI and the preset health related guidelines to the user. In another embodiment, the application of the smart device 104 may collect the measured weight from the vehicle control unit 108 and may collect data from the user input of other associated health parameters in the application of the smart device 104 such as user height, user age, and the like, and calculate the BMI and displays the BMI and the health related guidelines to the user on the display of the smart device 104.
[00015] In an embodiment, the one or more load cells 106 are disposed on an inner surface of the seat assembly 110. The seat assembly 110 includes a rider seat and a pillion rider seat both. This is done to monitor change in load on the vehicle 100 to control one or more vehicle parameters to optimize fuel efficiency of the vehicle 100 because of that extra load, while the vehicle 100 being in operation. So, if there is any change in the rider’s weight as well as the pillion riders weight, then the vehicle parameters can be altered or vehicle running mode can be adjusted to optimize the efficiency and performance of the vehicle 100. For-example in case the vehicle 100 is running on a slope, the weight or force exerted due to the weight of the user, the pillion rider on the floorboard 102 can affect the various vehicle parameters, thus these parameters now can be controlled to maintain the efficiency and mileage of the vehicle 100 while ensuring durability of all the parts of the vehicle 100. In another embodiment, the one or more load cells 106 placed in the seat assembly 110 also helps in monitoring shock received on the vehicle 100 and can be used to change in suspension inputs so as to absorb the shock appropriately to ensure the smooth running of the vehicle 100.
[00016] Fig.3 exemplarily illustrates a flowchart as per the present invention stating the method of measuring the weight experienced on the floorboard 102. The method of calculating weight on the floorboard 102 of the vehicle 100 has been discussed in detail in this paragraph. In the present embodiment, the user/rider connects the smart device 104 of the user with the control unit 108 at step 200. The user/rider of the vehicle 100 is also required to place the vehicle 100 on the centre stand (not shown). Then, the user enables an onboard rider weight monitoring feature in the application of the smart device 104 at step 202. In another embodiment, the onboard rider weight monitoring feature can also be activated by actuating one or more switches (not shown) provided on the vehicle 100 for the same. On actuation of the onboard rider weight monitoring feature, the one or more load cells 106 is activated and the weight of the user/rider on the floorboard 102 is being read when the user/ rider of the vehicle 100 stands on the floorboard 102, or the weight of an article placed on the floorboard 102 of the vehicle 100 is being measured at step 204. The measured weight of the user/rider of the vehicle 100 or the weight of the article placed on the vehicle 100 is communicated to the vehicle control unit 108 at step 206. The vehicle control unit 108 performs the function of signal amplification, signal conversion, and signal processing. In another embodiment, the measured weight can be communicated to the application in the smart device 104 for further processing. The measured weight is processed by the control unit 108 and the measured weight, a BMI (Body mass index), preset health guidelines, and the like are displayed on the display unit 112 of the vehicle 100 at step 208. The measured weight, the BMI (Body mass index), and the like are communicated and are also displayed on a display of the smart device 104 of the user/rider of the vehicle 100 at step 210. Based on the weight and BMI of the user, the application of the smart device 104 gives suggestions for health related guidelines to the user/ rider. In another embodiment, based on the measured weight of the article placed on the floorboard 102 of the vehicle 100, the smart device 104 will give suggestions to control the vehicle parameters to optimize the vehicle’s performance.
[00017] The present invention provides the weight measuring system on the vehicle to measure the weight of the user/rider as well as the pillion rider of the vehicle.
