CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
The present application claims priority from Indian Provisional Patent Application No. 202421053199 filed on 12/07/2024, the entirety of which is incorporated herein by a reference.
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present disclosure generally relates to a vehicle frame assembly. Particularly, the present disclosure relates to a stand assembly of a vehicle.
BACKGROUND
Recently, there has been a rapid development in the automotive technologies. The two-wheeler automobiles are particularly popular due to their affordability and lower cost of running. The two-wheeler automobiles provide economical and convenient commute option in the city traffic.
Two-wheeler vehicles, such as motorcycles and scooters, are generally equipped with both a main stand and a side stand. The main stand is typically used when parking the vehicle for an extended period, as the main stand provides greater stability. In contrast, the side stand is more commonly used for routine parking due to its ease of deployment and minimal effort required by the rider. It is crucial that the side stand be retracted before the vehicle is operated. Meanwhile, failure to retract the side stand may result in hazardous riding conditions, including potential loss of balance or accidental skidding, which may lead to injury to the rider or damage to the vehicle. To address this safety concern, modern two-wheeler vehicles are increasingly equipped with the sensor assemblies configured to detect the position of the side stand whether deployed or retracted. The detected position is communicated to the rider through a visual or audible indication to ensure safe riding. Conventionally, the sensor assemblies rely on a position bolt threaded into the stand. The bolt interacts with the sensor to enable or disable the vehicle operation based on the stand’s position. However, such arrangements are prone to mechanical issues. In particular, incorrect installation such as overtightening or loosening of the bolt may cause sensor misalignment, failure, or inaccurate detection of the stand’s position. These issues compromise rider safety and reduce the reliability of the sensing system.
Therefore, there exists an improved arrangement of the stand assembly that overcomes the one or more problems associated as set forth above.
SUMMARY
An object of the present disclosure is to provide a stand assembly of a vehicle.
In accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a stand assembly of a vehicle. The stand assembly comprises a casted stand configured to be mounted in a vehicle frame and an integrated casted lug of the casted stand. The integrated casted lug enables sensing of a position of the casted stand.
The present disclosure provides the stand assembly of the vehicle. Advantageously, the stand assembly provides a structurally integrated and reliable solution for detecting the position of the stand without relying on externally attached components.

The present disclosure will be described herein below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, well known functions or constructions are not described in detail since they would obscure the description with unnecessary detail.
As used herein, the term “stand assembly” refers to a mechanical structure configured to support a vehicle in a stationary position when not in operation. The stand assembly comprises a stand member configured to pivotally mount to the vehicle frame, allowing the stand to transition between a deployed position, in which the stand contacts the ground to support the vehicle, and a retracted position, in which the stand is positioned away from the ground to enable vehicle motion. The stand assembly may further include one or more components such as a mounting bracket, pivot pin, return spring, stopper element, and integrated features (e.g., lug or projection) for position sensing, structural reinforcement, or functional integration.
As used herein, the term “casted stand” and “stand” are used interchangeably and refer to a structural component of a vehicle stand that is formed by a casting process, wherein molten metal or alloy is poured into a pre-shaped mold cavity and allowed to solidify to form the final geometry of the stand. The casted stand is typically a single-piece structure integrally formed to achieve desired strength, shape complexity, and functional features, such as mounting points, reinforcing ribs, or integrated projections. The casting process may include gravity die casting, sand casting, investment casting, or other suitable metal casting techniques.
As used herein, the terms “vehicle frame” refers to the structural framework of the vehicle configured to support various mechanical and electrical components of the vehicle. The vehicle frame includes, but is not limited to, chassis members, cross members, mounting brackets, and subframes that provide attachment points for systems such as the engine, suspension, body panels, footrests, stands, and sensor assemblies. The vehicle frame typically comprises a tubular or cast metal structure extending longitudinally from the front steering assembly to the rear wheel support assembly.
As used herein, the term “integrated casted lug”, “integrated lug”, “lug” and “casted lug” are used interchangeably and refer to a protruding structural feature that is formed as an integral part of the side stand during the casting process. The lug is not a separately manufactured or fastened component, but rather, is cast in a single operation along with the side stand body. The integrated casted lug is designed to serve a specific functional purpose, such as enabling or enhancing position sensing of the side stand by interacting with a sensing component. The integration of the lug into the casting eliminates the need for additional fasteners, thereby reducing the risk of mechanical loosening, misalignment, or sensor inaccuracy during vehicle operation.
As used herein, the term “pivotally mounted” refers to a mechanical arrangement in which a first component is connected to a second component in a manner that allows rotational or angular movement about a fixed axis or pivot point. This configuration enables the first component to move between two or more positions relative to the second component, typically through the use of a pin, shaft, or similar rotational joint.
As used herein, the term “fastener” refers to any mechanical component or element configured to join, secure, or affix two or more components together, either permanently or removably. The fastener may include, but is not limited to, bolts, screws, nuts, rivets, pins, clips, clamps, or any combination thereof. The fastener may be threaded or non-threaded, and may engage through interference fit, friction, welding, bonding, or mechanical interlock depending on the application.
As used herein, the term “mounting bracket” refers to a structural component configured to support and secure another component in a side stand to a frame or base structure of a vehicle. The mounting bracket typically includes one or more apertures or pivot points to receive fastening elements such as pins, bolts, or bushings, allowing for the pivotal movement of the side stand with respect to the vehicle frame. The mounting bracket may be integrally formed with the vehicle frame, welded, bolted, or otherwise fixed, and is designed to withstand mechanical stresses generated during deployment, retraction, and use of the stand.
As used herein, the term “hall effect sensor” and “sensor” are used interchangeably and refer to a type of position sensor that operates based on the Hall effect principle, wherein a voltage (Hall voltage) is generated transverse to the current flow in a conductor when exposed to a perpendicular magnetic field. The sensor detects the presence, absence, or strength of the magnetic field and produces an electrical signal corresponding to the relative position of a magnetic element. In the side stand assembly, the Hall effect sensor is configured to detect the position of a magnetically responsive component, such as an integrated lug or magnet, to determine whether the stand is in a deployed or retracted state.
As used herein, the term “engaged position” refers to a specific relative alignment or interaction between the integrated casted lug of the side stand and a sensor (or a sensor trigger element), wherein the sensor detects the presence or proximity of the lug. The engaged position corresponds to the deployed or downward position of the side stand, in which the stand is extended outward to support the vehicle.
As used herein, the term “retracted position” refers to a configuration of the side stand in which the stand is pivoted upward and positioned adjacent to the body or frame of the two-wheeler vehicle, such that the stand does not contact the ground and does not support the vehicle in a parked state. In this position, the side stand is secured away from the road surface, allowing safe operation and movement of the vehicle without interference or risk of instability.
As used herein, the term “proximal end” refers to the end of a component, structure, or feature that is located closer to the base, origin, or mounting point of the component, particularly when considered relative to the opposite or distal end.
As used herein, the term “stopper portion” refers to a structural feature integrally formed with or attached to a component (such as a side stand or vehicle frame) and configured to mechanically limit the range of motion of the component. The stopper portion is positioned to engage with a corresponding surface or element such as a bracket or frame member to restrict the pivoting movement of the stand beyond a predefined deployed or retracted position. The stopper portion ensures repeatable positioning of the side stand and prevents over-rotation or unintended movement during vehicle operation or parking.
Figure 1, in accordance with an embodiment describes a stand assembly 100 of a vehicle. The stand assembly 100 comprises a casted stand 102 configured to be mounted in a vehicle frame 104 and an integrated casted lug 106 of the casted stand 102. The integrated casted lug 106 enables sensing of a position of the casted stand 102.
In an embodiment, the integrated casted lug 106 is formed during the casting of the casted stand 102. The lug is not separately manufactured or attached post-casting, but rather integrally formed as a protruding feature within the same casting mold used to produce the casted stand 102. The casting mold may be designed to include the geometry of the lug so that the casted lug 106 and the stand 102 may formed as a single, monolithic unit. Beneficially, the casted lug 106 ensures the precise and permanent alignment with respect to the geometry of the stand 102, which may be critical for reliable position sensing. Moreover, the casted lug 106 eliminates the risk of assembly errors, misalignment, or loosening that may be occur with threaded or fastened lugs. Secondly, the monolithic structure improves the mechanical integrity and vibration resistance of the casted lug 106, especially during repeated stand movements.
In an embodiment, the casted stand 102 is pivotally mounted to the vehicle frame 104 via a fastener 108. The fastener 108 may include, but is not limited to, a pivot pin, bolt, or shaft, configured to allow rotational movement of the casted stand 102 between the different positions. The fastener 108 passes through a mounting hole provided in a proximal region of the casted stand 102 and may be secured to the vehicle frame 104. The pivotal mounting arrangement enables the stand 102 to rotate about a fixed axis, allowing the rider to manually deploy or retract the stand 102 as needed. Advantageously, the pivotal mounting of the casted stand 102 provides mechanical simplicity, durability, and reliable movement of the stand 102 during repetitive use. Moreover, the pivotal mounting ensures that the motion path of the stand 102 remains predictable and consistent, which is critical for accurate position sensing by the integrated casted lug 106 and associated sensor. Furthermore, the fixed axis of rotation minimizes wear on contact surfaces and enables precise alignment of sensing features, improving detection accuracy. Furthermore, the use of the fastener 108 facilitates the ease of assembly and serviceability during manufacturing or maintenance of the vehicle.
In an embodiment, the stand assembly 100 comprises a mounting bracket 110 configured to be coupled to the vehicle frame 104 to enable mounting of the casted stand 102 with the vehicle frame 104. The casted stand 102 may be pivotally mounted to the vehicle frame 104 through the mounting bracket 110. The mounting bracket 110 serves as an interface structure that enables secure and stable installation of the stand 102 onto the vehicle chassis. The mounting bracket 110 may be configured with provisions such as a pivot hole or a bushing seat to accommodate the fastener 108, which allows the stand 102 to rotate between the deployed and the retracted position. Moreover, the mounting bracket 110 provides a robust and standardized interface between the vehicle frame 104 and the stand 102, which simplifies installation and maintenance. Furthermore, the mounting bracket 110 allows the pivot mechanism of the stand 102 to be mechanically isolated from the structural frame, reducing the wear and tear on the vehicle body. Additionally, the inclusion of mounting bracket 110 ensures consistent alignment and operation of the stand 102, especially important for accurate position sensing by the integrated casted lug 106.
In an embodiment, the integrated casted lug 106 is configured to move through a defined movement during pivoting of the casted stand 102. The integrated casted lug 106 may be strategically positioned such that the casted lug 106 moves through the defined movement or path when the stand 102 pivots between the deployed position and the retracted position. The defined movement may be predictable and repeatable due to the fixed geometrical relationship between the stand 102 and the casted lug 106. As the casted stand 102 pivots, the integrated casted lug 106 transitions along an arc relative to the fixed sensor mounted on the vehicle frame 104. The arc-shaped movement of the casted lug 106 enables the sensor to detect the exact position of the stand 102 by identifying whether the casted lug 106 is within or outside the sensor's detection range. Beneficially, the defined movement of the integrated lug 106 ensures precise position sensing of the stand 102, reducing the likelihood of false detection or sensor error. By being integrally casted, the casted lug 106 maintains fixed alignment with the pivoting axis of the stand 102, thereby ensures the mechanical consistency and long-term reliability. Moreover, the arrangement eliminates dependence on threaded fasteners or adjustable components for sensing, thereby removing failure points associated with vibration, loosening, or overtightening. Additionally, the casted lug 106 simplifies the manufacturing and assembly by combining the structural and functional features into a single casting, resulting in cost and labour savings.
In an embodiment, the integrated casted lug 106 is configured to interact with a hall effect sensor 112 mounted on the vehicle frame 104, when the casted stand 102 is in an engaged position. The integrated casted lug 106 may be strategically positioned on the stand 102 such that the casted lug 106 may be configured to interact with the Hall effect sensor 112, which may be mounted on the vehicle frame 104. The interaction occurs specifically when the stand 102 may be in deployed state in which the stand 102 supports the vehicle on the ground. During the pivoting motion of the stand 102, the casted lug 106 moves along the predefined path, and upon reaching the engaged position, the casted lug 106 comes into alignment with the Hall effect sensor 112. Beneficially, the integration of the casted lug 106 directly onto the stand 112 ensures precise and stable alignment with the Hall effect sensor 112, enhancing detection accuracy.
In an embodiment, the position of the integrated casted lug 106 relative to the hall effect sensor 112 indicates whether the casted stand 102 is in the engaged position when the casted lug 106 aligns with the hall effect sensor 112, or in a retracted position when the casted lug 106 is displaced away from the hall effect sensor 112. The position of the integrated casted lug 106 relative to the Hall effect sensor 112 serves as an indicator of the position of the casted stand 102. When the casted stand 102 is in the engaged position (i.e., deployed or downward position), the casted lug 106 aligns with the Hall effect sensor 112, thereby allows the hall effect sensor 112 to detect a magnetic response or field change indicative of the state. Conversely, when the casted stand 102 is moved to the retracted position, the casted lug 106 is displaced away from the hall effect sensor 112, causing the sensor to detect the absence of the magnetic field or a change in the signal, thereby indicating that the stand 102 is no longer in the deployed position. The integrated casted lug ensures accurate and consistent position sensing without the need for separate threaded components. Beneficially, the lug arrangement eliminates the sensor errors caused by loosening or overtightening of bolts, improving long-term reliability. Moreover, the stand assembly 100 enhances rider safety by enabling precise stand position detection for vehicle control logic.
In an embodiment, the integrated casted lug 106 is positioned at a proximal end of the casted stand 102. The proximal end is the end of the stand 102 closest to the vehicle frame 104 where the stand is pivotally mounted. The casted lug 106 may be formed integrally during the casting process of the stand 102 and is located near the pivot axis such that the motion of the stand 102 directly corresponds to the angular displacement of the stand 102. Beneficially, the proximity of the casted lug 106 to the pivot point allows more predictable and precise movement which enables the accurate detection of the position of the casted stand 102 with minimal variation. The accurate detection improves the reliability of sensor readings, especially in environments where mechanical tolerances and vibrations may affect distal-mounted components. Additionally, because the proximal end is generally better protected from road debris and external impacts compared to the distal end, the casted lug 106 and the hall effect sensor 112 may be less prone to mechanical damage or environmental interference, thereby enhancing the longevity and durability of the position-sensing system.
In an embodiment, the casted stand 106 comprises a stopper portion 114 configured to engage with the mounting bracket 110 to limit movement. The stopper portion 114 may be configured to mechanically engage with the mounting bracket 110 when the stand reaches the predefined angular limit during the pivoting movement. The interaction between the stopper portion 114 and the mounting bracket 110 prevents the stand 102 from rotating beyond a desired position, thereby limiting the range of motion of the stand 102. The stopper portion 114 may be formed as a protrusion or a shaped surface on the proximal region of the casted stand 102 and may abut a corresponding edge or slot on the mounting bracket 110 to define the engaged or retracted terminal position. Beneficially, the integration of the stopper portion 114 into the casted stand 102 provides a mechanical fail-safe to restrict excessive rotational movement of the stand 102 during operation. Moreover, the stopper portion 114 eliminates the need for additional external components or limiters, thereby simplifying assembly and reducing manufacturing cost.
In an embodiment, the casted stand 102 is made of a metal alloy selected from aluminum, steel, or iron for providing structural strength. The selection of material may be made to ensure the required mechanical strength, rigidity, and durability of the stand 102. The metal alloy may be selected based on the application-specific requirements such as vehicle weight class, environmental conditions, and fatigue resistance. The casted stand 102 may be manufactured using conventional casting techniques, such as gravity die casting or sand casting, to obtain a uniform and structurally integrated body, including the integrated casted lug 106.
The present disclosure provides the stand assembly 100 of the vehicle. The stand assembly 100 provides a structurally integrated and reliable solution for detecting the position of the stand 102 without relying on externally attached components. Beneficially, the integration of the casted lug 106 directly into the casted stand 102 during the casting process eliminates the need for separately mounted position bolts or externally fastened components, which are prone to loosening, overtightening, or misalignment over time. Beneficially, by forming the casted lug 106 as an integral part of the stand 102, the stand assembly 100 ensures the dimensional stability and fixed alignment, leading to reliable and consistent interaction with a position sensor, such as a Hall effect sensor 112, throughout the lifecycle of the vehicle. Furthermore, the pivotally mounted casted stand 102, supported by the mounting bracket 110 and limited by the stopper portion 114, offers a mechanically stable and durable structure capable of withstanding repeated deployment and retraction cycles under varying loads and environmental conditions. Moreover, the defined movement path of the integrated casted lug 106 during pivoting of the stand 102 ensures predictable sensing geometry, which improves the accuracy of detecting whether the stand 102 is in the deployed (engaged) or retracted position. The accurate detection of the position of the stand 102 directly contributes to the enhanced rider safety, as the detection system enables the vehicle's control system to correctly warn or restrict operation when the stand 102 is not in the safe position. Additionally, the use of metal alloys such as aluminum, steel, or iron for the casted stand 102 provides structural integrity, impact resistance, and long-term durability, even under outdoor exposure. Furthermore, the integrated design of the casted lug 106 also reduces manufacturing complexity by avoiding additional machining or fastening operations for the sensing component. Additionally, the stand assembly 100 ensures a robust, maintenance-free, and sensor-integrated stand assembly that improves both manufacturing efficiency and functional reliability, while enhancing the safety and usability of the vehicle.
Figure 2 describes the stand assembly 100, wherein the stand assembly 100 comprises the casted stand 102 configured to be mounted in the vehicle frame 104 and the integrated casted lug 106 of the casted stand 102. The integrated casted lug 106 enables sensing of the position of the casted stand 102. Furthermore, the integrated casted lug 106 is formed during the casting of the casted stand 102. Furthermore, the casted stand 102 is pivotally mounted to the vehicle frame 104 via the fastener 108. Furthermore, the stand assembly 100 comprises the mounting bracket 110 configured to be coupled to the vehicle frame 104 to enable mounting of the casted stand 102 with the vehicle frame 104. Furthermore, the integrated casted lug 106 is configured to move through the defined movement during pivoting of the casted stand 102. Furthermore, the integrated casted lug 106 is configured to interact with the hall effect sensor 112 mounted on the vehicle frame 104, when the casted stand 102 is in the engaged position. Furthermore, the position of the integrated casted lug 106 relative to the hall effect sensor 112 indicates whether the casted stand 102 is in the engaged position when the casted lug 106 aligns with the hall effect sensor 112, or in the retracted position when the casted lug 106 is displaced away from the hall effect sensor 112. Furthermore, the integrated casted lug 106 is positioned at the proximal end of the casted stand 102. Furthermore, the casted stand 106 comprises the stopper portion 114 configured to engage with the mounting bracket 110 to limit movement. Furthermore, the casted stand 102 is made of the metal alloy selected from aluminum, steel, or iron for providing structural strength.
