Description:A VEHICLE
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present subject matter generally relates to a vehicle. More particularly, the present invention relates to a vehicle with a passenger seat 5 assembly comprising one or more electric port.
BACKGROUND
[0002] In the usual context of daily life, electronic devices such as mobile phones have evolved beyond mere communication devices and have become 10 integral for various purposes such as online payments, navigation through GPS maps, and the like, especially during travel. Passenger commercial vehicles, including taxi vehicles or three-wheeled vehicles, primarily cater to short-distance travel needs. In such contexts, the presence of an electric port for charging arrangements is very important. This feature serves the crucial 15 purpose of meeting passengers' needs efficiently during their journeys. By offering the ability to charge their vehicles while traveling, passengers can save considerable time and ensure uninterrupted mobility. Further, the significance of this feature becomes evident in urban settings where passengers often require quick and convenient access to transportation 20 options.
[0003] However, the effectiveness of such a charging arrangement depends on its strategic placement within the vehicle. If electric port are positioned on the partition wall right in front of the passenger seat (behind the driver seat), there is a potential issue of the charging cable causing interference with 25 passenger movement during entry or exit. The cable extending from the partition wall to the passenger's phone on the seat or in their hand may pose a hindrance or may result in entanglement of wires of the charging arrangement. On the other hand, placing the charging provision on the seat base front (between the passenger's leg) presents accessibility challenges, 30 particularly when passengers are attired in long garments like Saree, Dhoti, Vesti, Skirt, or gowns. This limitation arises due to the obstruction caused by
3
the clothing, impacting the comfortable reach to the charging area behind the passenger's leg on the seat base front. [0004] In the context of passenger three-wheeled vehicles, an additional consideration arises regarding the utilization of space between the passenger seat and the partition wall. This space often serves a dual purpose, 5 accommodating both passengers and cargo belonging to the user. However, a potential challenge arises when considering the placement of a charging port on the partition wall. The presence of the charging port in this location could create accessibility issues for the user. Since the gap between the passenger seat and the partition wall is frequently utilized for loading cargo, positioning 10 the charging port there would impede the user's ability to access it easily. This complication could hinder the user's convenience and potentially create operational inefficiencies, as accessing the charging port may require rearranging or removing cargo, thus complicating the charging process. Therefore, careful consideration must be given to the placement of charging 15 ports in passenger three-wheeled vehicles to ensure optimal accessibility and usability for the users while maintaining functionality for both passenger and cargo transportation needs.Traditional passenger vehicles often lack sufficient provisions for passengers to conveniently charge their electronic devices while on the move. This limitation poses challenges for passengers 20 who rely heavily on their devices for communication, entertainment, or work purposes during their journeys. The traditional commercial vehicle are focusing on providing one or more electric port to the driver of the vehicle over the passenger of the vehicle.
[0005] To navigate these challenges, there’s a need to introduce an innovative 25 electric charging port location that not only optimizes the accessibility of charging points but also addresses the complexities associated with passenger mobility and attire, providing an efficient solution for enhancing the charging experience within vehicles.
[0006] Thus, there is a need in the art for a vehicle which addresses at least 30 the aforementioned problems and other problems of known art.

[00041] Figure 3 illustrates the front view of the passenger seat assembly (112) where it further illustrates the region of seat base front (206) between the seat base (204) and the floorboard (109). The height of this region as 30 illustrated in the figure 3 is ‘H’ represents the vertical distance between the seat base and the rear cabin floorboard, serving as a crucial parameter in the
11
design and optimization of the vehicle's interior space. Further, the same will vary depending upon the vehicle type, overall layout and configuration of the passenger cabin or the like. The one or more electric port (302, 304) which is mounted over the seat base front (206) has an inlet port (not shown) for providing power to one or more electronic devices of a user of the vehicle 5 (100). The disposition of one or more electric port (302, 304) on the seat base front (206) presents a strategic location. [00042] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the number of electric ports (302, 304) integrated into the seat base front (206) of the vehicle directly corresponds to the passenger capacity of the passenger seat assembly (112). 10 This relationship ensures that each passenger has access to a dedicated electric port, facilitating their charging needs during the journey. More specifically, the number of electric ports in the seat base front is determined by subtracting one from the total number of occupants the passenger seat assembly is designed to accommodate. For example, in this case, the 15 passenger seat assembly as shown in Figure 2 or 3 is configured to carry three passengers, hence denoted as 'N=3'. Consequently, the number of electric ports in the seat base front would be 'N-1', resulting in two electric ports for this specific embodiment. This present disclosure also aligns with the objective of optimizing passenger comfort and convenience within the 20 vehicle cabin. By providing a dedicated electric port for each passenger, the design ensures equitable access to charging facilities, regardless of the seating position within the vehicle.
[00043] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the seat base front (206) of the passenger seat assembly (112) is of length 'L', as shown in figure 3. 25 This dimension plays a significant role in determining the arrangement of the electric ports to optimize accessibility and usability for passengers. The positioning of the electric ports within the seat base front is carefully configured to ensure that the distance between at least two adjacent ports remains uniform. Specifically, this distance is calculated to be 'L/N', where 30 'N' represents the number of passengers of the passenger seat assembly is designed to accommodate within the vehicle (100). Further, by maintaining
12
consistent spacing between the electric ports (302, 304), passengers seated at various positions along the seat base front (206) have equal access to charging facilities. This uniform distribution of electric ports promotes a fair and equitable charging experience for all occupants, regardless of their seating arrangement within the vehicle. Furthermore, passengers can easily locate 5 and access the electric ports without experiencing inconvenience or discomfort, thereby enhancing their satisfaction and enjoyment during their journey. [00044] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the one electric port (302) is positioned parallel to another electric port (304), ensuring a 10 symmetrical and organized layout of the charging outlets. Further, as shown in Figure 3, an imaginary axis Z-Z’, passing through the seat base front (206) at a specific distance denoted as 'H/2', where H represents the vertical distance between the seat base and the rear cabin floorboard. This axis serves as a reference point for determining the vertical alignment of the electric ports 15 within the seat base front (206). Furthermore, as shown in Figure 3, the presence of imaginary axis (X-X’ or Y-Y’) passing through the seat base front (206) of the passenger seat assembly (112) at a distance of 'L/N', reflecting the horizontal alignment of the electric ports relative to the seat base front's length and the number of occupants. In the present embodiment L represent 20 length of the seat base front (206) or length of the
seat base (204) and “N’ represents the number of occupant capacity of the passenger seat assembly (112) of the vehicle (100). The intersection of these axes (X-X’ or Y-Y’) and Z-Z’ defines a specific region within the seat base front where the electric ports can be mounted. This region is further constrained by a predefined 25 range, corresponding to 40% of the 'H' dimension in the X or X’ direction or in upward direction or downward direction. This predefined range describes the permissible area for mounting the electric ports and accordingly the same is visually appealing to the passenger while optimizing their accessibility and usability for passengers. 30
[00045] In one of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the one or more energy storage units are positioned behind the seat base front (206).
13
Accordingly, the same will reduce the wire length between the energy storage units and the electric ports (302, 304) integrated into the seat base front. By situating the energy storage units close to the electric ports, the need for lengthy wiring is minimized, resulting in a more streamlined and efficient electrical system within the vehicle (100). Accordingly, by minimizing wire 5 length, the risk of signal loss, voltage drop, and electromagnetic interference is mitigated, ensuring consistent and reliable power delivery to the electric ports. Further, reducing wiring complexity simplifies installation and maintenance processes, contributing to cost savings and improved serviceability of the vehicle's electrical components. 10 [00046] Moreover, to encounter the problem of dust/water entry towards the one or more electric port (302, 304), the inlet port of the one or more electric port (302, 304) has a port cover. The port cover is configured to cover the inlet port of the one or more port (302, 304) when not in use.
[00047] In one of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the passenger 15 seat assembly (112) and the seat base front (206) can be provided for a driver of the vehicle (100) including a co-driver/co-pilot of the vehicle (100) in the front cabin (118).
[00048] As per the present disclosure, the disposition of the one or more electric port (302, 304) on the seat base front (206) of the vehicle (100) solves 20 the significant challenge faced by the passengers of the vehicle (100) of the for inaccessibility of charging point for their mobile phones. The conventional approach of providing charging point on the partition wall, creates hindrances during ingress and egress of the passengers as the charging cable becomes an obstacle. Simultaneously, locating charging provisions on 25 the seat base front (206) raises concerns related to passenger attire, as passengers dressed in long garments including Sari, Veshti, Dhoti, Skirt and the like may find it cumbersome to access the charging area comfortably. In the present disclosure, the distance of ‘L/N’ through the seat base front (206) where the one or more electric port (302, 304) is mounted as the intersection 30 of the imaginary axis (X-X’ or Y-Y’) and the imaginary axis Z-Z’ solves this challenge while providing ample and adequate space for the passengers to
14
accommodate their long garments and also able to access the one or more electric port (302, 304) for their charging needs thus enhancing overall travel experience. [00049] Additionally, the present disclosure further helps the passengers in scenarios of carrying luggage as the distance of ‘L/N’ through the seat base 5 front (206) where the one or more electric port (302, 304) is mounted as the intersection of the imaginary axis (X-X’ or Y-Y’) and the imaginary axis Z-Z’ solves this challenge while providing ample and adequate space for the passengers to accommodate their luggage while catering to their charging needs. 10
[00050] The present disclosure enhances the functionality, convenience, and efficiency of the vehicle (100). More specifically, by mounting the one or more electric ports (302, 304) within the seat base front (206) of the passenger seat assembly (112) will optimize space utilization within the vehicle's interior while ensuring easy access for passengers. This arrangement 15 eliminates the need for additional protrusions or installations within the cabin, preserving a clean and unobtrusive design aesthetic. Further, the number of electric ports correlates directly with the occupant capacity of the passenger seat assembly, ensuring equitable access to charging facilities for all passengers. The spacing between electric ports is meticulously calculated 20 based on the length of the seat base front and the number of occupants and accordingly, enhancing accessibility and usability. The predefined range describes the permissible area for mounting the electric ports and accordingly the same is visually appealing to the passenger while optimizing their accessibility and usability for passengers. Furthermore, the inclusion of port 25 covers for the inlet ports of the electric ports prevents dust and debris from accumulating when not in use, maintaining optimal functionality and reliability over time. The integration of energy storage units within the rear cabin, positioned behind the seat base front, reduces wire length between the storage units and the electric ports. This not only streamlines the vehicle's 30 electrical system but also minimizes the risk of signal loss and interference, ensuring consistent and reliable power delivery to the electric ports.
15
[00051] With the presence of one or more electric ports available for charging in the rear cabin of the vehicle, the passengers can rely on these vehicles with confidence, knowing that they can conveniently recharge as needed, thereby enhancing the overall user experience and promoting the adoption of electric vehicles in the transportation sector. 5
