Description:A STRUCTURE FOR A VEHICLE
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present subject matter generally relates to a Vehicle. More particularly, but not exclusively to a structure for a vehicle. 5
BACKGROUND
[0002] The automotive industry is constantly evolving with advancements in technology aiming to enhance vehicle performance, safety, and user experience. One significant area of focus is the integration of electrical components within vehicles to facilitate functionalities such as advanced 10 diagnostics, connectivity, and sensor-based systems.
[0003] Traditionally, mounting electrical components within vehicles has posed several challenges. These challenges include ensuring secure placement of components to prevent movement or damage, optimizing space utilization within the vehicle, and facilitating efficient wiring and 15 connectivity between components. Moreover, with the increasing complexity of vehicle electronics and the demand for compact designs, there arises a need for innovative that addresses these challenges effectively.
[0004] One key technical problem revolves around efficiently mounting electrical components onto vehicle structures. Existing methods often involve 20 separate mounting systems for different components, leading to increased complexity and manufacturing costs. Moreover, ensuring proper alignment and spacing between components and the vehicle frame is crucial for functionality and safety, necessitating precise engineering solutions.
[0005] Another challenge is the management of wiring and connectivity 25 within the vehicle. With numerous electrical components distributed across different areas, organizing and securing wiring harnesses becomes a cumbersome task. Additionally, ensuring reliable connections and preventing
3
interference between wires is vital for maintaining the integrity of vehicle systems. [0006] Furthermore, optimizing the layout of electrical components within the vehicle to maximize space utilization while minimizing interference with other vehicle systems presents a significant technical hurdle. This includes 5 strategically positioning components to avoid obstruction of critical areas such as steering mechanisms, lighting systems, and passenger compartments.
[0007] Additionally, in vehicles such as motorcycles or scooters, where space is particularly limited, finding efficient ways to mount electrical components without compromising vehicle dynamics and aesthetics becomes even more 10 challenging. Ensuring proper weight distribution and aerodynamic performance while accommodating essential electronics necessitates innovative design approaches.
[0008] Moreover, as vehicle electrification and connectivity continue to advance, the demand for scalable and adaptable solutions for integrating new 15 technologies into existing vehicle architectures grows. Flexibility in accommodating a wide range of electrical components and future upgrades without extensive modifications becomes imperative for manufacturers to stay competitive in the market.
[0009] Conventional methods often involve using separate mounting systems 20 for different electrical components within the vehicle. While this approach allows for customization and flexibility, it increases complexity in assembly and maintenance. Each component requires its own set of brackets or mounts, leading to higher manufacturing costs and increased assembly time. Moreover, aligning and spacing these individual mounts properly to ensure 25 compatibility with the vehicle frame can be challenging and may result in suboptimal placement.
[00010] Wiring harnesses are typically installed manually in conventional vehicle assembly processes. This manual approach is time-consuming and labour-intensive, as each wire must be routed and secured individually. It also 30
4
increases the likelihood of human error, such as incorrect routing or insufficient securing of wires, which can lead to electrical malfunctions or safety hazards. Additionally, managing wiring complexity becomes increasingly difficult as the number of electrical components and systems within the vehicle grows, potentially leading to tangled or disorganized 5 wiring layouts. [00011] In vehicles with limited space, such as motorcycles, conventional methods for mounting electrical components often struggle to optimize space utilization while maintaining vehicle dynamics and aesthetics. Mounting components in such vehicles may require compromises in terms of placement, 10 leading to suboptimal performance or reduced accessibility for maintenance. Additionally, conventional methods may not adequately address weight distribution concerns, potentially affecting vehicle balance and handling.
[00012] Many conventional vehicle architectures have fixed layouts and mounting points for electrical components, limiting flexibility in 15 accommodating new technologies or upgrades. Modifying these architectures to integrate new components often requires extensive redesign and retooling, leading to increased development costs and longer time-to-market. Additionally, fixed architectures may not effectively utilize available space or anticipate future advancements in vehicle electronics, resulting in 20 suboptimal integration and potential obsolescence.
[00013] While some conventional methods may offer modular mounting solutions for certain vehicle systems, such as infotainment systems or lighting assemblies, these solutions are often limited in scope and application. They may not provide the flexibility or scalability required to accommodate diverse 25 electrical components and systems within modern vehicles. Additionally, modular solutions may introduce compatibility issues or constraints, limiting their effectiveness in addressing evolving automotive technology requirements.
[00014] conventional methods for addressing technical challenges related to 30 mounting electrical components within vehicles often suffer from
5
shortcomings such as increased complexity, manual labour requirements, suboptimal space utilization, limited flexibility, and compatibility constraints. These shortcomings can impede vehicle performance, increase manufacturing costs, and hinder innovation in the automotive industry. [00015] Thus, there is a need in the art for a structure for vehicle which 5 addresses at least the aforementioned problems and other problems of known art.
[00016] Further limitations and disadvantages of conventional and traditional approaches will become apparent to one of skill in the art, through comparison of described systems with some aspects of the present disclosure, 10 as set forth in the remainder of the present application and with reference to the drawings.
