Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[1] The present disclosure generally relates to a two-wheeler vehicle. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a modular frame structure for storing articles in a two-wheeler vehicle.

BACKGROUND

[2] Two-wheeler vehicles like scooter have storage space under the seat. The seat can be hinged either on the front side or rear side of the scooter. The storage space can be accessed by opening and closing of the seat. Typically, the storage space provides little storage volume to a user. The storage space may be enough to store smaller articles but may not be enough to store larger articles, for example a helmet. Existing solutions for increasing storage volume in a two-wheeler includes extending the seat over a rear wheel or providing extra storage box or carriage at the rear side of the two-wheeler which impacts the dynamics of the vehicle.

[3] Due to space limitations in the width and length of the vehicle, which are a result of the ergonomics of the vehicle, it is not possible to increase the storage volume. Typically, modern day scooters use higher outside diameter (OD) tubes on the rear side to meet the durability and stiffness requirements, which in-turn reduces the storage volume for the user.

[4] Further, scooters typically have a frame made from a single piece welded structure design. Therefore in order to make modification to the frame for various seating designs, it is necessary to change the complete structure design.

[5] It is desired to provide a smaller frame with a reduced width to provide a high storage volume without sacrificing ergonomics.
SUMMARY

[6] This summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts, in a simplified format, that is further described in the detailed description of the invention. This summary is neither intended to identify key or essential inventive concepts of the invention and nor is it intended for determining the scope of the invention.

[7] The present disclosure aims to provide a modular storage frame with a reduced width or OD to provide a high storage volume without sacrificing durability and stiffness requirements, and ergonomics of the scooter.

[8] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a modular storage frame is disclosed. The modular storage frame includes an upper tubular frame comprising an upper front end and an upper rear end. The modular storage frame includes a lower tubular frame. The lower tubular frame includes a lower front end and a lower rear end, wherein the upper rear end is connected to the lower rear end. The modular storage frame includes a first trellis structure and a second trellis structure. The first trellis structure is disposed at a first side (A) of the modular storage frame and extends between the upper tubular frame and the lower tubular frame. The first trellis structure includes a first vertical load bearing member disposed proximal to the upper front end of the upper tubular frame and connected to the lower front end of the lower tubular frame through a first sleeve. The second trellis structure is disposed at a second side (B) opposite to the first side (A) of the modular storage frame and extends between the upper tubular frame and the lower tubular frame. The second trellis structure includes a second vertical load bearing member disposed proximal to the upper front end of the upper tubular frame and connected to the lower front end of the lower tubular frame through a second sleeve. The modular storage frame includes a plurality of brackets provided on the upper tubular frame and the trellis structures, wherein the plurality of brackets provide uniform structural support to the storage box and side panels throughout the length of the vehicle.

For example, reference numerals starting with digit “1” are shown at least in Figure 1. Similarly, reference numerals starting with digit “2” are shown at least in Figure 2.

[34] An Electric Vehicle (EV) or a battery powered vehicle including, and not limited to two-wheelers such as scooters, mopeds, motorbikes/motorcycles; three-wheelers such as auto-rickshaws, four-wheelers such as cars and other Light Commercial Vehicles (LCVs) and Heavy Commercial Vehicles (HCVs) primarily work on the principle of driving an electric motor using the power from the batteries provided in the EV. Furthermore, the electric vehicle may have at least one wheel which is electrically powered to traverse such a vehicle. The term ‘wheel’ may be referred to any ground-engaging member which allows traversal of the electric vehicle over a path. The types of EVs include Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV), Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) and Range Extended Electric Vehicle. However, the subsequent paragraphs pertain to the different elements of a Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV).

[35] In construction, an EV (10) typically comprises a battery or battery pack (12) enclosed within a battery casing and includes a Battery Management System (BMS), an on-board charger (14), a Motor Controller Unit (MCU), an electric motor (16) and an electric transmission system (18). The primary function of the above-mentioned elements is detailed in the subsequent paragraphs: The battery of an EV (10) (also known as Electric Vehicle Battery (EVB) or traction battery) is re-chargeable in nature and is the primary source of energy required for the operation of the EV, wherein the battery (12) is typically charged using the electric current taken from the grid through a charging infrastructure (20). The battery may be charged using Alternating Current (AC) or Direct Current (DC), wherein in case of AC input, the on-board charger (14) converts the AC signal to DC signal after which the DC signal is transmitted to the battery via the BMS. However, in case of DC charging, the on-board charger (14) is bypassed, and the current is transmitted directly to the battery via the BMS.

[36] The battery (12) is made up of a plurality of cells which are grouped into a plurality of modules in a manner in which the temperature difference between the cells does not exceed 5 degrees Celsius. The terms “battery”, “cell”, and “battery cell” may be used interchangeably and may refer to any of a variety of different rechargeable cell compositions and configurations including, but not limited to, lithium-ion (e.g., lithium iron phosphate, lithium cobalt oxide, other lithium metal oxides, etc.), lithium-ion polymer, nickel metal hydride, nickel cadmium, nickel hydrogen, nickel-zinc, silver zinc, or other battery type/configuration. The term “battery pack” as used herein may be referred to multiple individual batteries enclosed within a single structure or multi-piece structure. The individual batteries may be electrically interconnected to achieve a desired voltage and capacity for a desired application. The Battery Management System (BMS) is an electronic system whose primary function is to ensure that the battery (12) is operating safely and efficiently. The BMS continuously monitors different parameters of the battery such as temperature, voltage, current and so on, and communicates these parameters to the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and the Motor Controller Unit (MCU) in the EV using a plurality of protocols including and not limited to Controller Area Network (CAN) bus protocol which facilitates the communication between the ECU/MCU and other peripheral elements of the EV (10) without the requirement of a host computer.

[37] The MCU primarily controls/regulates the operation of the electric motor based on the signal transmitted from the vehicle battery, wherein the primary functions of the MCU include starting of the electric motor (16), stopping the electric motor (16), controlling the speed of the electric motor (16), enabling the vehicle to move in the reverse direction and protect the electric motor (16) from premature wear and tear. The primary function of the electric motor (16) is to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, wherein the converted mechanical energy is subsequently transferred to the transmission system of the EV to facilitate movement of the EV. Additionally, the electric motor (16) also acts as a generator during regenerative braking (i.e., kinetic energy generated during vehicle braking/deceleration is converted into potential energy and stored in the battery of the EV). The types of motors generally employed in EVs include, but are not limited to DC series motor, Brushless DC motor (also known as BLDC motors), Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM), Three Phase AC Induction Motors and Switched Reluctance Motors (SRM).

[38] The transmission system (18) of the EV (10) facilitates the transfer of the generated mechanical energy by the electric motor (16) to the wheels (22a,22b) of the EV. Generally, the transmission systems (18) used in EVs include single speed transmission system and multi-speed (i.e., two-speed) transmission system, wherein the single speed transmission system comprises a single gear pair whereby the EV is maintained at a constant speed. However, the multi-speed/two-speed transmission system comprises a compound planetary gear system with a double pinion planetary gear set and a single pinion planetary gear set thereby resulting in two different gear ratios which facilitates higher torque and vehicle speed.

[39] In one embodiment, all data pertaining to the EV (10) and/or charging infrastructure (20) are collected and processed using a remote server (known as cloud) (24), wherein the processed data is indicated to the rider/driver of the EV (10) through a display unit present in the dashboard (26) of the EV (10). In an embodiment, the display unit may be an interactive display unit. In another embodiment, the display unit may be a non-interactive display unit.

[40] Figure 2 illustrates a modular storage frame (200), in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[41] The modular storage frame (200) includes an upper tubular frame (205). The upper tubular frame (205) includes an upper front end (205a) and an upper rear end (205b). The modular storage frame (200) includes a lower tubular frame (210). The lower tubular frame (210) includes a lower front end (210a) and a lower rear end (210b). It is to be noted that the upper rear end (205b) is connected to the lower rear end (210b) at the rear side of the modular storage frame (200).

[42] The upper tubular frame (205) and the lower tubular frame (210) constitute the main frame of the modular storage frame (200). Figure 3A and Figure 3B illustrates the main frame with upper tubular frame (305) and lower tubular frame (310) of the modular storage frame (without the trellis structure and brackets). The main frame is designed considering the vehicle architecture (form of vehicle) and to maximize the storage volume requirement for the platform, thereby defining the tube sizes used along with the location of tube.

[43] The upper tubular frame (205) is a substantially elongated octagon shaped structure having provision to mount a pillion grab-handle on the upper rear end (205b) and to mount a midframe on the upper front end (205a). Figure 6A illustrates a top view of the upper tubular tube (205) and depicts the elongated octagon shape of the upper tubular tube (205).

[44] The modular storage frame (200) includes a trellis structure in between the upper tubular frame (205) and the lower tubular frame (210) on both left side and right side of the modular storage frame (200). The modular storage frame (200) is made of lower outside diameter (OD) tubes and along with the trellis structure provides structural support for the rear half of the scooter. Since the modular storage frame (200) is made of lower OD tubes, it expands storage volume in both width and length of the vehicle without compromising overall vehicle width and length. In one embodiment, the modular storage frame (200) is made of steel.

[45] A first trellis structure (215a) is disposed at a first side (A) of the modular storage frame (200) and extends between the upper tubular frame (205) and the lower tubular frame (210). The first trellis structure (215a) includes a first vertical load bearing member (220a) disposed proximal to the upper front end (205a) of the upper tubular frame (205) and connected to the lower front end (210a) of the lower tubular frame (210) through a first sleeve (225a).

[46] A second trellis structure (215b) is disposed at a second side (B) opposite to the first side (A) of the modular storage frame (200) and extends between the upper tubular frame (205) and the lower tubular frame (210). The second trellis structure (215b) includes a second vertical load bearing member (220b) disposed proximal to the upper front end (205a) of the upper tubular frame (205) and connected to the lower front end (210a) of the lower tubular frame (210) through a second sleeve (225b).

[47] The first trellis structure (215a) and the second trellis structure (215b) are load bearing members. Structural support is being provided to main tubes by using trellis structure as a load bearing member at both left hand side, for example, side A, and right hand side, for example, side B, of the vehicle. Trellis structures (215a, 215b) are designed considering the load cases of rider, pillion, child on seat, grab-handle etc. Figure 4A and Figure 4B illustrates the modular storage frame (200) with the main frame and trellis structures (415a, 415b).

[48] In one embodiment, the first trellis structure (215a) disposed at the first side (A) and the second trellis structure (215b) disposed at the second side (B) are of an inverted right trapezoidal shape. Figure 6B illustrates a side view of the trellis structure and depicts the inverted trapezoidal shape of the trellis structures (215a, 215b).

[49] The modular storage frame (200) includes multiple brackets (230a, 230b). The multiple brackets (230a, 230b) are provided on the upper tubular frame (205). Further, multiple brackets (235a, 235b) are provided on the trellis structures and bottom tubular frame (205). The brackets (230a, 230b) are welded on the upper tubular frame (205) for mounting a storage box, a seating, or a pillion grab-handle of a scooter. For example, bracket (230a) can be used to mount storage box or seating, whereas bracket (230b) can be used to mount pillion grab handle. The brackets (230a, 230b) are provided on upper tubular frame (205) at regular intervals in order to have uniform support for storage unit.

[50] The brackets (235a, 235b) are provided on the first trellis structure (215a), the second trellis structure (215b), and the lower tubular frame (210) to support at least one of structural and non-structural parts of a scooter. For example, the bracket (235b) can be used to mount body works on the sides and bracket (235a) can be used to mount a rear fender. In one embodiment, bracket (235a) with bolted rear member is provided on rear side for mounting rear fender onto vehicle in order to eliminate frame failure from impact from rear side of the vehicle. The bracket (235b) mounting for side panels are provided at regular intervals to improve durability and reduce deviation from form of the vehicle.

[51] The modular storage frame (200) includes a plurality of bolting interfaces to attach the modular storage frame modularly to a mid-frame junction of a scooter. Figure 7A illustrates the modular storage frame mounted on to scooter mid frame (705). The modular storage frame is easily mounted on the scooter with few bolts on the right hand side, the left hand side, and the base of the mid frame. Figure 7B depicts the modular storage frame bolted on to mid frame left hand side (705a) using two bolts and bolted to the mid frame right hand side (705b) using two bolts. Figure 7C depicts the modular storage frame bolted on to base (705c) of scooter mid frame.

[52] In one embodiment, the upper front end (205a) is welded to the upper tubular frame (205) as a single frame structure. In another embodiment, the upper front end (205a) of the upper tubular frame (205) is detachable. The upper front end (205a) is configurable to position a seat of a scooter at one of a first seating arrangement substantially parallel relative to a longitudinal axis of the scooter and a second seating arrangement at a predefined angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the scooter. In one example, the first seating arrangement can be a standard flat seating arrangement and the second seating arrangement can be a sporty looking seating arrangement. Further, the first sleeve (225a) and the second sleeve (225b) are pivotably coupled to the base (705c) of a mid-frame junction of the scooter for enabling a plurality of seating configurations, for example, the first seating arrangement and the second seating arrangement. It is to be noted that various ergo position of the riders can be achieved by using different configurations of the upper front end (205a).

[53] Figure 8A illustrates side view of the modular storage frame mounted on the scooter and Figure 8B illustrates top view of the modular storage frame mounted on the scooter.

[54] Referring to Figure 5A, Figure 5A illustrates a sleeve (500) in the modular storage frame, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The sleeve (500) includes circular cut outs to form grooves as per the tube OD in order to improve weldability of the junction. The sleeve (500) includes a top groove (505) and a side groove (510). The sleeve (500) is used at shock top pivot on left hand side and right hand side of the vehicle. Figure 5B illustrates how sleeve (500) is attached to members in the modular storage frame. The top groove (505) receives a vertical load bearing member (520) and the side groove (510) located at an angle receives the lower tubular frame (530) as illustrated in Figure 5B.

[55] The sleeve (500) represent the first sleeve (225a) and the second sleeve (225b) in Figure 2. It is to be noted that both the first sleeve (225a) and the second sleeve (225b) in Figure 2 includes a top groove to receive the first vertical load bearing member (220a) and the second load bearing member (220b) respectively, and a side groove located at an angle to receive the lower tubular frame (210).

[56] The first sleeve (225a) and the second sleeve (225b) are load bearing members to support transverse loads from each of the first load bearing member (220a), the second loading member (220b) and the lower tubular frame (210). The first and second sleeves (225a, 225b) are functionally equivalent to at least one crossbar (Not shown in figure) between the first trellis structure (215a) and the second trellis structure (215b). The first and second sleeves (225a, 225b) used at shock top pivot are bolted together, and the shock bolt acts as the cross member here. The first and second sleeves (225a, 225b) ergonomically provides an increased storage space (in the absence of the cross bar) in the modular storage frame (200). The top groove and the side groove in the first and second sleeves (225a, 225b) provide improved weldability and joint reliability.

[57] The modular storage frame (200) provides various advantages. It increases storage capacity in two-wheelers by reducing the frame width without any compromise on the ergonomics of the vehicle. Further, the modular storage frame (200) along with the brackets provide uniform support for storage unit along the length of the vehicle. The trellis structures provide load bearing support. Further, the sleeves provide load bearing as well as it removes need of any cross bar commonly found in other structures. The absence of cross bar also increases storage volume. The seat can be easily mounted on to the modular storage frame (200) using the brackets and can be hinged either on the front side or rear side of the scooter.

[58] Furthermore, embodiments of the disclosed devices and systems may be readily implemented, fully or partially, in software using, for example, object or object-oriented software development environments that provide portable source code that can be used on a variety of computer platforms. Alternatively, embodiments of the disclosed methods, processes, modules, devices, systems, and computer program product can be implemented partially or fully in hardware using, for example, standard logic circuits or a very-large-scale integration (VLSI) design. Other hardware or software can be used to implement embodiments depending on the speed and/or efficiency requirements of the systems, the particular function, and/or particular software or hardware system, microprocessor, or microcomputer being utilized.
