Description:TECHNICAL FIELD

[001] The present disclosure generally relates to the field of saddle-type vehicles and more particularly to an assembly for mounting peripherals on a saddle-type vehicle.

BACKGROUND

[002] Generally electric vehicles, for example electric two wheelers, comprises a plurality of peripherals such as but not limited to a battery, a motor controller, a load driver unit, a junction box, a power distribution unit, a charger, etc., for functioning of the vehicle. The placement of such peripherals in an electric two-wheeled vehicle is a crucial aspect, impacting performance, safety, and overall functionality of the vehicle. In the conventional electric two wheelers, such peripherals are mounted using multiple mounting features and the mounting features require a lot of volume to package within general vehicle dimensions, and hence poses issues with respect to variation in tolerances which leads to multiple failure modes of the vehicle.

[003] Figure 1 illustrates various peripherals and their mounting positions in a conventional electric two-wheeler. As shown, a plurality of peripherals of an electric two-wheeler may include but not limited to a charging connector 105, a controller 110, a charger 115, a storage box 120 and a motor 125. Typically, in the conventional electric two-wheelers, the charging connector 105 and the controller 110 are mounted on a front end 130 of the frame of the vehicle, and the charger 115, storage box 120 and the motor 125 are mounted on a rear end 135 of the frame of the vehicle. The charging connector 105, which is the physical interface between a power source and the charger 115, is connected to the charger 115 through cables 140, wherein the cables 140 are laid through the floorboard of the vehicle as shown. Similarly, the controller 110 that is mounted the on a front end 130 of the frame of the vehicle is communicatively connected to the motor 125 through the cables 145. Such an arrangement requires lengthy cables for connecting the different peripherals leading to signal and power losses, and hence reduces the efficiency and affects the overall performance of vehicle. For example, as the cable length increases, so does the resistance, leading to power loss in the form of heat, and this may decrease charging speed, the efficiency of the electrical system and reduce the range of the vehicle. In another example, longer cables may be more susceptible to electromagnetic interference, leading to signal degradation, and this interference may impact communication between various peripherals of the vehicle.

[004] Further, managing and installing long cables is complex, requires additional effort and space, and complicated cable routing may also increase the likelihood of errors during installation and repair. Furthermore, longer cables often require more materials and this increases the overall cost of the vehicle. Additionally, the need for thicker cables to mitigate voltage drops and power loss may contribute to higher material costs. Furthermore, each peripheral that necessitates a thermal management system requires a dedicated thermal management system. In addition, longer cables exposed to external elements are susceptible to wear and tear, pose safety concerns, and more challenging to conceal, leading to a less tidy.

[005] Hence, there is a need for an assembly for facilitating the mounting of peripherals with reduced cable lengths.

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.

[0028] The vehicle as described herein may include but not limited to, electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, and may have one or more wheels. However, the features, the functions and the elements of the proposed assembly are described in the context of saddle-type vehicle as an example. Furthermore, the electric vehicle may have at least one wheel which is electrically powered to drive such a vehicle. The term ‘wheel’ may refer 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 two-wheeled electric vehicles and hereinafter referred to as an electric vehicle or EV, and basic elements and functions of the elements of an exemplary electric vehicle are described below.

[0029] Figure 2 illustrates an electric automotive ecosystem comprising an electric vehicle and a charging infrastructure connected to the electric vehicle. In construction, the electric vehicle (EV) 200 typically comprises a battery or battery pack 205 enclosed within a battery casing and includes a Battery Management System (BMS), an on-board charger 210, a Motor Controller Unit (MCU), an electric motor 215 and an electric transmission system 220. The primary functions of the above-mentioned elements are detailed in the following paragraphs: The battery of an EV 200 (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 205 is typically charged using the electric power from the grid through a charging infrastructure 225. The battery may be charged using Alternating Current (AC) or Direct Current (DC), wherein, in case of AC input, the on-board charger 210 converts the AC power to DC power after which the DC power is transmitted to the battery through the BMS. However, in case of DC charging, the on-board charger 210 may be bypassed, and the current transmitted directly to the battery through the BMS. Additionally, the EV 200 may also be equipped with wireless infrastructure such as, but not limited to Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and so on to facilitate wireless communication with the charging infrastructure 225, other Evs or the cloud.

[0030] The battery 205 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 °C. The terms “battery”, and “battery pack” 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 types or configurations. The term “battery pack” as used herein may refer 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 current capacity for a desired application. The Battery Management System (BMS) is an electronic system, the primary function of which is to ensure that the battery 205 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 one or more protocols including but not limited to, Controller Area Network (CAN) bus protocol which facilitates the communication between the ECU and MCU and other peripheral elements of the EV 200 without the requirement of a host computer.

[0031] The MCU primarily controls or regulates the operation of the electric motor based on the power transmitted from the vehicle’s battery, wherein the primary functions of the MCU include starting the electric motor 215, stopping the electric motor 215, controlling the speed of the electric motor 215, enabling the vehicle to move in the reverse direction and protect the electric motor 215 from premature wear and tear. The primary function of the electric motor 215 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 215 also acts as a generator during regenerative braking (that is, kinetic energy of the EV in motion is converted into electrical 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 Motor (SRM).

[0032] The transmission system 220 of the EV 200 facilitates the transfer of the generated mechanical energy by the electric motor 215 to the wheels (230a, 230b) of the EV. Generally, the transmission systems 220 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 runs at a constant speed ratio between the motor rotational speed and the wheel rotational 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 depending on the selected gear ratio.

[0033] In one embodiment, all data pertaining to the EV 200 or charging infrastructure 225 or both, are collected and processed using a remote server (known as cloud) 235, wherein the processed data is indicated to the rider of the EV 200 through a display unit present in the dashboard 240 of the EV 200. In an embodiment, the display unit may be an interactive or touch sensitive display unit. In another embodiment, the display unit may be a non-interactive display unit. It is noteworthy that the electric vehicle, as described with reference to Figure 2, provides a context in which various embodiments of the present disclosure may be described and observed. Subsequently, the embodiments of the present disclosure are described by referring to the essential elements and the structure of a saddle-type vehicle.

[0034] As described, embodiments of the present disclosure disclose an assembly for mounting peripherals of a saddle-type vehicle. The peripherals as described herein may include but not limited to a junction box, an onboard charger, a power distribution unit, a motor controller, and a storage box, etc.

[0035] Figure 3A illustrates an exemplary saddle-type vehicle in which various embodiments of the present disclosure may be observed.

As shown in Figure 3A, the saddle-type vehicle 300 comprises a frame structure 305, wherein the frame structure 305 comprises a pair of main tubes 310 and 315, a cross tube 320 and a substantially U-shaped cross tube 325. The cross tube 320 is connected between the pair of main tubes 310 and 315 on a front portion 330 of the frame structure 305, and the substantially U-shaped cross tube 325 is connected between the pair of main tubes 310 and 315 on a rear portion 335 of frame structure 305. Referring to Figure 3B, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, an assembly 340 for mounting a plurality of peripherals of the saddle-type vehicle 300 is mounted on the frame structure 305 of the saddle-type vehicle 300. The plurality of peripherals as described herein may include but not limited to a junction box, an onboard charger, a power distribution unit, a motor controller, and a storage box. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, one or more peripherals among the plurality of peripherals are mounted on one or more mounting brackets of the assembly 340 to reduce the length of the cables in comparison with the conventional saddle-type vehicles.

[0036] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the assembly 340 comprises a first mounting bracket for mounting one or more of the plurality of peripherals, wherein the first mounting bracket is coupled to the pair of main tubes 310 and 315 and the cross tube 320 of the frame structure 305 of the saddle-type vehicle 300. Further, the assembly 340 comprises a second mounting bracket for mounting one or more of the plurality of peripherals, wherein the second mounting bracket is affixed to the substantially U-shaped cross tube 325 coupled to the rear portion 335 of the pair of main tubes 310 and 315 of the frame structure 305.

[0037] Figure 4A and 4B illustrate the first mounting bracket in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown, the first mounting bracket 405 is coupled to the pair of main tubes 310 and 315 and the cross tube 320 of the frame structure 305 of the saddle-type vehicle 300. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first mounting bracket 405 is substantially I-shaped bracket and comprises one or more reinforcing ribs 410 as shown in Figure 4B. The one or more reinforcing ribs 410 provide strength and rigidity to the first mounting bracket 405. It is to be noted that the first mounting bracket 405 is made of metal, preferably a single sheet metal, and constructed using methods such as metal fabrication and injection molding, for example.

[0038] Referring to Figure 4B, the I-shaped first mounting bracket 405 comprises a first mounting point 415, a second mounting point 420 and third mounting point 425, wherein the first and the second mounting points 415 and 420 are used for mounting the first mounting bracket 405 to the pair of main tubes 310 and 315 respectively, and the third mounting point 425 is used for coupling the first mounting bracket 405 to the cross tube 320 of the frame structure 305 of the saddle-type vehicle 300, as shown in Figure 4A. It is to be noted that the first, the second and the third mounting points 415, 420 and 425 are fitted to the pair of main tubes 310 and 315 and the cross tube 320 respectively, using one or more fasteners or by means of welding, for example.

[0039] As described, the plurality of peripherals comprises a junction box, an onboard charger, a power distribution unit (PDU), a motor controller, and a storage box. The junction box comprises a plurality of connectors and other electrical components, and houses one or more wiring connections. Further, the PDU manages and distributes electrical power from the vehicle’s battery to various electrical systems and components. The PDU may include but not limited to input and output connectors, circuit brakers, relays, voltage regulators, temperature and current sensors and microcontrollers, etc. Furthermore, the motor controller regulates the speed and direction of the electric motor of the vehicle. In other words, the motor controller processes signals from the vehicle’s throttle, brake, and other components to determine the appropriate power output to the electrical motor. Typically, the motor controller comprises voltage regulators, current limiting circuits, motor drive circuits, and gate drives, etc. Furthermore, the storage box is typically mounted on the rear portion of the frame structure and comprises a storage space for accommodating charger, helmet, or any other articles.

[0040] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the junction box 430, the onboard charger 435, and the power distribution unit 440 are mounted on the first mounting bracket 405 as shown in Figure 4A. Further, in a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure, the onboard charger 435 is positioned between the junction box 430 and the power distribution unit 440. In one embodiment, the onboard charger 435, and the power distribution unit 440 are mounted on the first mounting bracket 405 using bolts and fasteners with electrical isolation in the load path. For example, the junction box 430 is fitted onto the first mounting bracket 405 using two bolts which engage with corresponding first set of holes 445 on the first mounting bracket 405 for securing the junction box 430. Similarly, the power distribution unit 440 is fitted onto the first mounting bracket 405 using two bolts which engage with corresponding second set of holes 450 on the first mounting bracket 405 for securing the power distribution unit 440. Further, the onboard charger 435 is fitted onto the first mounting bracket 405 using four bolts which engage with corresponding third set of holes 455 on the first mounting bracket 405 for securing the onboard charger 435. It is to be noted that the junction box 430, the onboard charger 435, and the power distribution unit 440 may be mounted on the first mounting bracket 405 using any other known fastening means.

[0041] As described, the junction box 430, the onboard charger 435, and the power distribution unit 440 are mounted on a single mounting. Such an arrangement substantially minimizes the lengths of the interconnecting cable lengths, and hence eliminates the need of lengthy cables connecting the junction box, the onboard charger, power distribution unit and other components of the saddle-type vehicle. Further, the placement of the onboard charger 435 between the junction box 430 and the power distribution unit 440 provides more space for foot placement and hence comfort to a rider.

[0042] As described, the assembly 340 further comprises the second mounting bracket, affixed to the substantially U-shaped cross tube 325, for mounting one or more of the plurality of peripherals, wherein one or more peripherals affixed include the motor controller and the storage box.

[0043] Figure 5 illustrates the second mounting bracket in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown, the second mounting bracket 505 is affixed to the substantially U-shaped cross tube 325 coupled to the rear portion 335 of the pair of main tubes 310 and 315. Alternatively, the U-shaped cross tube 325 is manufactured to include the second mounting bracket 505. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the second mounting bracket 505 is substantially H-shaped bracket and affixed to the U-shaped cross tube 325 by welding. It is to be noted that the second mounting bracket 505 is made of metal, preferably a single sheet metal, and constructed using methods such as metal fabrication and injection molding, for example.

[0044] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a motor controller 510 is mounted on a front face 515 of the H-shaped second mounting bracket 505 and a storage box 520 is mounted on a second face 525 of the H-shaped second mounting bracket 505. In addition, the second face 525 provides structural support to the storage box 520. In one embodiment, the motor controller 510 is mounted on the second mounting bracket 505 using bolts and fasteners with electrical isolation in the load path. For example, the motor controller 510 is fitted onto the second mounting bracket 505 using our bolts which engage with corresponding holes 530 on the second mounting bracket 505 for securing the motor controller 510. Similarly, the storage box 520 is fitted onto the second mounting bracket 505 using two bolts which engage with corresponding holes on the second mounting bracket 505 or on the U-shaped cross tube 325 for securing the power storage box 520. It is to be noted that the motor controller 510 and the storage box 520 may be mounted on the second mounting bracket 505 using any other known fastening means. As the motor controller 510 is positioned in proximity to the electric motor (not shown), this arrangement substantially minimizes lengths of the interconnecting cables. As described, the motor controller 510 is mounted in a way that shares a common mount (the second mounting bracket 505) with the storage box 520, resulting in improved packaging volume optimization and minimizing the mass associated with the mounting features. Furthermore, the first mounting bracket 405 and the second mounting bracket 505 are mounted on the frame structure 305 of the saddle-type vehicle 300 to maximize floorboard space, allowing the riders to comfortably place their feet or store items on the floorboard.

[0045] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the assembly 340 further comprises a third mounting bracket for mounting a load distribution unit on to a headstock of the saddle-type vehicle 300. Figure 6 illustrates a third mounting bracket for mounting a load distribution unit in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown, a third mounting bracket 605 is mounted on to a headstock 610 of the saddle-type vehicle 300 for mounting the load distribution unit of the saddle-type vehicle 300. In one embodiment, the third mounting bracket 605 is mounted on to the headstock 610 of the saddle-type vehicle 300 using one or more bolts and fasteners. As shown, the third mounting bracket 605 accommodating the load distribution unit is positioned proximal to the first mounting bracket 405 as well as the vehicle dashboard to substantially minimize the lengths of the interconnecting cable lengths, and hence eliminates the need of lengthy cables.

[0046] As described, a single mounting bracket, that is the first mounting bracket 405, is used for mounting the junction box 430, the onboard charger 435, and the power distribution unit 440 of the saddle-type vehicle 300 and the first mounting bracket 405 is positioned at the front portion of the saddle-type vehicle 300. Further, the load distribution unit 605 is positioned proximal to the first mounting bracket 405 to minimize the lengths of the interconnecting cable lengths. Furthermore, the motor controller 510 is mounted in a way that shares a common mount, that is the second mounting bracket 505, with the storage box 520, resulting in improved packaging volume optimization and minimizing the mass associated with the mounting features.

[0047] Furthermore, the disclosed assembly for the saddle-type vehicle eliminates the need for lengthy cables to connect various peripherals, thereby significantly reducing signal and power losses. This substantial reduction enhances the efficiency and overall performance of the saddle-type vehicle.

[0048] Furthermore, assembly incorporates several advantages, enhancing the overall efficiency and performance of the saddle-type vehicle. Firstly, the assembly optimizes the packaging volume for electrical modules of the saddle-type vehicle. Additionally, the reduction of wire lengths connecting the electrical modules not only simplifies the wiring system but also mitigates power losses, thereby improving overall energy efficiency. The use of a single mounting feature for multiple components ensures better tolerances during assembly, enhancing precision and reducing potential discrepancies. Furthermore, the integrated mounting approach for the storage box and motor controller minimizes the number of components, resulting in lower mass and cost. Placing the motor controller in a manner that minimizes wire lengths further contributes to efficiency gains by reducing energy losses. Finally, the orientation of controllers and electrical modules addresses thermal considerations, optimizing heat dissipation and enhancing the overall thermal performance of the saddle-type vehicle.

[0049] While specific language has been used to describe the disclosure, any limitations arising on account of the same are not intended. As would be apparent to a person skilled in the art, various working modifications may be made to the method in order to implement the inventive concept as taught herein.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that one or more of the described elements may well be combined into a single functional element. Alternatively, certain elements may be split into multiple functional elements. Elements from one embodiment may be added to another embodiment. For example, orders of processes described herein may be changed and are not limited to the manner described herein. Moreover, the actions of any flow diagram need not be implemented in the order shown; nor do all of the acts necessarily need to be performed. Also, those acts that are not dependent on other acts may be performed in parallel with the other acts. The scope of embodiments is by no means limited by these specific examples.
