DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[00015] The arena of technology pertaining to transportation has undergone a tremendous transformation over the years, such that the present concentration is focused upon the efficiency and cost of manufacturing, which includes the cost of materials, assembly cost, cost of inventory handling etc. Simultaneously, there has also been need in the industry to provide stronger, lighter and economically advantageous vehicles that consume less power. Electric power storage device driven vehicles happen to be eco- friendly, in line with the Go Green initiative of various organizations. These Vehicles may be two, three or four wheelers depending upon the requirement of the consumer and have multiple applications.
[00016] In automobile vehicle industry, electric vehicles are introduced to control air pollution caused due to IC engine powered vehicles. Currently, the electric vehicles are classified into two groups, namely pure electric and extended electric vehicles (also known as hybrid vehicles). The hybrid vehicles have a primary electric drive with associated energy storage device and an internal combustion engine coupled to an electric motor/generator.
[00017] In recent years, hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles have become quite popular due to high oil prices and the environmental impact of pure gasoline fuel consumption vehicles. In particular, the hybrid vehicle has become an intermediate choice for those consumers wishing to reduce fuel consumption while at the same time increase their allowable travel distance as compared to a pure electric vehicle (EV). In most developing & under-developed markets, a low-cost three-wheeler is often employed as a popular public mode of transport or a goods carrier vehicle. In case of a passenger transport layout, the vehicle rear portion is configured with a passenger seating compartment while in case of a goods carrier, the rear portion has a loading trailer platform layout to carry goods. Unlike conventional four wheeled vehicles, the three-wheeled vehicle is compact, highly weight efficient & economical mode of transport.
[00018] Typically, such multi-track vehicles have a steering axis disposed centrally along the longitudinal mid-plane of the vehicle with the rider seated co-axially in the same mid-plane. Such vehicles are commonly powered by IC engines & electrification of such public transport vehicles has been of much interest to bring down emissions. Any major alteration or modification on a vehicle to adapt to different powertrains for given product is undesirable owing to adverse impact on manufacturing complexity, variety, logistics, supply chain challenges as well as cost. Often a manufacturer prefers to have a platform product solution wherein a basic structure of the vehicle can be common across the types of powertrains used. This enables great flexibility for the manufacturer to operate with a standardized platform of product across various markets, variants etc. with different powertrains e.g. IC engine or Hybrid etc. depending on the requirements.
[00019] The electric vehicle driven by DC power uses different types of batteries but all of them require charging from time to time in order to run the vehicle again after the batteries gets discharged. The batteries in the vehicle can be charged by an off-board charger, which supply DC power to the vehicle battery and communicates with the vehicle controller to determine the amount of voltage and current required to supply to the batteries. An off-board charger is provided outside the body of the vehicle e.g. in charging station which can supply different level of power to charge batteries for different vehicle depending on load. But the charging process with the off-board system can be cumbersome as many a times the vehicle may run out of power and there might be absence of any nearby charging station which can lead to vehicle getting stranded in the middle of the road. An on-board charger unit overcomes the problems associated with the off-board charger. With the help of the on-board charger the vehicle can be connected to any charging point wherever there is availability of electricity including home and therefore does not depend on public infrastructure for charging station with off-board charging capability.
[00020] But for providing an additional component like an onboard charger in a compact vehicle like an enclosed three wheeled vehicle, it becomes necessary to provide a charging port, which can charge an energy storage device such as a battery, at a place which is easy, convenient and quick to access for charging while at same time being secure from environmental damage, tamper proof and dust, mud proof. But the charging port should be located in a place where it becomes easy to access the charging port and also at the same time making sure that the charging port is not coming into direct contact with any outside environmental factor. Also, the charging port undergoes the process of plugging and un-plugging of charging plug of a charging station, hence the charging port need to be mounted in a way that it does not comes off or the charging port remains protected from any direct impact on the body of the vehicle which can damage the charging port. Therefore, there exists as need for an improved charging port layout solution for an three wheeled vehicle which overcomes all above problems, enables designing a compact vehicle layout and overcomes problems associated with known arts.
[00021] Hence, it is an object of the present invention to provide a charging port mounting and location in a three wheeled vehicle which overcomes the problem mentioned above. The present invention provides a charging port mounting on one or more location in the three wheeled vehicle which can be easily accessed for charging an energy storage device such as a battery. In an embodiment, the charging port is mounted on at least a housing panel of a cabin assembly of the vehicle through a charger bracket. By providing the charging port on at least a housing panel of the cabin assembly, it enables the disposition of the charging port closer to an energy charging device such as a battery which is generally mounted at a rear portion of the vehicle such as below a passenger seat of the vehicle and mounted to a frame member of a chassis of the vehicle thereby reducing the wiring harness length, improving convenient of coupling charger and eliminating harness losses. A charger bracket is incorporated which enables mounting of the charging port on the housing panel and at the same time providing a protection from any impact, e.g. during accident or toppling of the vehicle. The charger bracket is fixedly mounted on at least a housing panel and then the charging port is securely disposed on the charger bracket thereby the charger bracket provides both support to the charger port as well as keeps the charging port away from the direct contact of the housing panel to the charging port which helps in preventing any damage which may occur due to any undesirable impact suffered by the housing panel.
[00022] Another embodiment of the present invention provides configuration of the charging port on at least a housing panel of the cabin assembly of the vehicle where the housing panel comprises of a right hand side housing panel, a left hand side housing panel and a rear housing panel. The right hand side housing panel, the left hand side housing panel and the rear housing panel forms the cabin assembly which encloses the vehicle from three directions to provide protection from environmental factors such as wind ,dust and water. The charging port is mounted on an inner surface of the cabin assembly.
[00023] Yet another embodiment of the present invention provides a configuration of a charging port on the housing panel of the cabin assembly through a charger bracket. The charger bracket comprises a charging port mounting surface having a profile of circular hollow disc (although the same shall not be treated as a sole limitation). The charger bracket accommodates the charging port and the charging port mounting surface of the charger bracket compliments the shape of the charging port. Further, the charging port mounting surface is fixedly supported on a pair of attaching plates. The charging port mounting surface along with the attaching plates forms the charger bracket. The charging port mounting surface is disposed substantially perpendicular to the attaching plates such that the charging port mounting surface is parallel to the surface of the right hand side housing panel (housing panel). A bottom member fixedly attached to the attaching plates. The bottom member of the charger bracket provides necessary support to a charging plug or charging gun and also strengthens the charger bracket by providing support to the charging port from the bottom which prevents the charging port from getting displaced from its intended location by constant plugging and unplugging of the charging plug connected to a charging station.
[00024] Another embodiment of the present subject matter provides an opening or a cut out made on the housing panel. The diameter of the charging port mounting surface is substantially equal to the width of the opening. The width of the opening is sufficient enough to allow a charging plug to be inserted from outside in order to connect a charging plug drawn of a charging station into the charging port. It is necessary to keep the charging port away from the direct contact with dust or water molecules, therefore an access means, such as a hinged door, is provided on the opening of the housing panel. Further, an access means can be provided with a gate lock to restrict an unauthorized access to the charging port.
[00025] Still another embodiment of the present subject matter provides a configuration of the charging port on the charger bracket through an adapter plate. The adapter plate forms a part of the charging port. The adapter plate is provided with one or more perforations allowing one or more fasteners to enable the mounting of the charging port on the charging port mounting surface of the charger bracket. The adapter plate compliments the shape of the charging port mounting surface of the charger bracket to eliminate the effect of vibration on the mounting of the charging port on the charger bracket and the impact caused due to plugging or unplugging process of the charging port from a charging station.

[00027] Fig. 1 and Fig. 1a illustrates a side & rear view of a motor vehicle (100) and Fig.2 is a perspective view of a frame structure of the motor vehicle in accordance with an embodiment of the present subject matter. In an embodiment, the frame structure (200) of the motor vehicle includes three compartments. A front compartment including a head tube (201) that mounts a handle bar assembly (106) of the motor vehicle and the head tube (201) is capable of steering a front wheel (101), a main tube (206) that connects the head tube (201) and a central frame member (203), a driver seat assembly (104) that is housed on top of the central frame member (203) and a pair of LH side frame member(205) and a RH side frame member(202). The motor vehicle also includes a pair of rear wheels (102) and a front fender (103) disposed above the front wheel (101). CNG cylinder etc. is housed in a housing area (110) under the driver seat assembly (104). In one embodiment, the frame structure(200) further includes a middle compartment that includes a passenger seat assembly (108) comprising of a seat base bottom and a back rest, a passenger barrier (107) restricting entry/exit of the passengers into the three wheeled vehicle in one direction only, a connecting bridge member (204) capable of mounting a passenger seat. Further, in one embodiment, the frame structure also includes a rear compartment that houses the cabin assembly (109) extending circumferentially around said rear compartment, and the power unit e.g. engine (111) along with transmission unit is disposed substantially placed in the rear side of motor vehicle (fig. 1a). In another embodiment shown in Fig 2a, a motor is disposed in motor mounting area (216) between the pair of rear wheels (102).
[00028] Further, as per one embodiment of the present invention, a pair of rear frame member (214) extends upward from the left hand side frame member (205) and right hand side frame member(202) and further extends horizontally to the rearward of the vehicle (100). The pair of rear frame member (214) includes a left frame member (213) and a right frame member (212) extending horizontally to the rearward of the vehicle. The left frame member (213) and right frame member (212) are connected by a plurality of longitudinally (210, 211) and laterally (204, 208, 209) disposed connecting bridges, ensuring the rigid attachment of the frame members. Furthermore, in an embodiment, a wiring harness (Cable) routing/guiding bracket (not shown) is mounted on the laterally disposed connecting bridge (209). In an alternative embodiment, the wiring harness guiding bracket is capable of being welded to a vertical structural member connected to the laterally disposed connecting bridge (209). Typically, in a three-wheeled electric vehicle, bunches of cables are routed between the sub-systems. The wiring harness guiding bracket ensures better guidance and avoids the wiring harness from getting damaged due to interference with the adjoining components of the vehicle.
[00029] The pair of rear frame member (214) provides housing member for various electrical components like a controller, motor etc. The controller (215) shown in Fig 2a, is mounted with a mounting bracket assembly (217) in between the pair of rear frame member (214), between the pair of connecting bridges (204, 208) (as shown in fig. 2a) and below the passenger seat assembly (108). As per an aspect of the present invention, the interfacing surface of the controller (215) is facing upward, ensuring the ease of assembly and ease of accessibility of the connecting wires. The area above the controller is covered with a first metal sheet or a cover (219) (as shown in fig. 2b). Further, the metal sheet or the cover is provided with a top opening having locking mechanism (220) (as shown in fig. 2b). The locking mechanism (220) is accessible from the top of the first metal sheet or cover (219), when the passenger seat (108) is removed, ensuring the restricted cum authorised access of the controller and also ensures the ease of accessibility of the controller during serviceability. As per another aspect of the present invention, the electrical components like controller, motor etc., are placed in between the pair of rear frame assembly (214) and are parallel to each other, thereby reducing the length of the wire required for routing and connecting each component. The decreased length of wire also ensures the reduction in the voltage drop and avoids undesirable bending of wires, thereby increasing the efficiency of the electrical components.
[00030] As per one embodiment of the present invention, an energy storage device (218) (as shown in fig. 2a) is mounted in front of the connecting bridge (204) or at least partially overlapping any of the connecting bridges. The connecting bridge (204) is disposed laterally with respect to the vehicle. The energy storage device (218) is mounted with a mounting bracket (207) having L shape profile, disposed vertically downwardly with respect to the connecting bridge (204) and housed below passenger seat (108). The mounting bracket (207) is integrally attached to the front of the connecting bridge (204) and houses the auxiliary energy storage device (218) in it, ensuring that the energy storage device is mounted to the front of the connecting bridge without extending outwardly of the passenger seat in a front rear direction. This configuration also ensures that the energy storage device as mounted is not interfering with the leg of the passenger and hence no compromise is made with the user’s comfort. As per an embodiment, the energy storage device can be located below a driver seat. As per an embodiment, the energy storage device in form of array of batteries are arranged using support pillars, clamps and a base plate which makes the battery replacement easy compared to top mounting.
[00031] Fig. 3a illustrates a top view of the vehicle (200). A charging unit (600) to charge the energy source such as a battery is disclosed. The connecting bridge member (204) which is capable of mounting a driver back rest also enables the mounting of the charger unit (600). The charging unit (600) can be mounted facing in a direction opposite to the face of the passenger seat. The passenger seat is located on the front side of the connecting bridge member (204), when seen from the top, facing the front portion of the vehicle (100) and the charging unit (600) is mounted on the rear side of the connecting bridge member (204), when seen from the top, and facing the rear portion of the vehicle (100). Further, the controller (215) is located adjacent to the charging unit (600) and the charging port (800). The charging unit (600) can be mounted either on the left or the right hand side of the controller (215) and this proximity to the controller (215) and the energy storage device (218) reduces the length of the wire harness.
[00032] Further, a charging port (800) is connected to the charging unit (600) for the purpose of charging the energy storage device (218) such as a battery. The charging port (800) is mounted on the cabin assembly (109). The cabin assembly (109) comprises one or more housing panels such as a right hand side housing panel (109a), a left hand side housing panel (109b) and a rear housing panel (109c). The charging port (800) is mounted on at least a housing panel of the cabin assembly (109). The charging port (800) connects with the charging unit (600) to provide AC power, which is an On-board type charging unit (600) to convert an AC power to DC power transmitted to the battery for charging purpose.
[00033] Fig. 4a illustrates a side view of the vehicle (100). In order to protect the charging port (800), an access means (801) has been provided. The access means (801) prevents any exposure to the environmental factors such as dust or water and keeps the charging port (800) protected from any damage.
[00034] Fig. 4b illustrates a side view of the vehicle (100) to depict an embodiment to mount the charging port (800) below the driver seat assembly (104) and the Power Storage Housing Area (110).
[00035] Fig.5 illustrates the left hand side housing panel (109b) (it can be right hand side housing panel also (109a)of the cabin assembly (109). The charging port (800) comprises a socket body (808) and an adapter plate (802). In order to mount the charging port (800) on the housing panel such as the right hand side housing panel (109a); a charger bracket (804) is provided. Since, mounting of the charging port (800) directly on the housing panel makes the charging port (800) susceptible to damage due to an impact on the charging port (800). Hence, the charging port (800) is mounted on the housing panel though a charger bracket (804). The charger bracket (804) comprises a charging port mounting surface(804b) having a profile of circular hollow disc although the same is not a limitation as the charger bracket (804) accommodates the charging port(800) and charger bracket (804) compliments the shape if the charging port (800). Further, the charging port mounting surface(804b) is fixedly supported on a pair of attaching plates (804a). The charging port mounting surface (804b) along with the attaching plates (804a) forms the charger bracket (804). The charging port mounting surface (804b) is disposed substantially perpendicular to the attaching plates (804a) such that the charging port mounting surface (804b) is parallel to the surface of the left hand side housing panel (109b) (including other housing panels of the cabin assembly). Further, the length of the attaching plates (804a) is approximately equal to the length of the charging port (800). The charging port mounting surface (804b) is disposed at a pre-determined distance from the housing panel (109a, 109b, 109c).
[00036] The charging port (800) is fixedly attached to the right hand side housing panel (109 a). An opening (805) is made on the right hand side housing panel (109 a) by cutting out the left side housing panel (109b a). The diameter of the charging port mounting surface(804b) is substantially equal to the width of the opening (805). The width of the opening (805) is sufficient enough to allow a charging plug to be inserted from outside in order to connect the charging plug into the charging port (800). It is necessary to keep the charging port (800) away from the direct contact with dust or water molecules, therefore an access means (801), such as a hinged door, is provided on the opening (805) of the left side housing panel (109b). The access means (801) can be further provided with a gate lock (807) to restrict unauthorized access to the charging port (800). The charging port (800) is mounted on the charger bracket (804) through an adapter plate (802). The adapter plate (802) forms a part of the charging port (800). The adapter plate (802) is provided with one or more perforations allowing one or more fasteners (806) to enable the mounting of the charging port (800) on the charging port mounting surface (804b) of the charger bracket (804). The adapter plate (802) compliments the shape of the charging port mounting surface (804b) of the charger bracket (804) to eliminate the effect of vibration on the mounting of the charging port (800) on the charger bracket (804) and the impact caused due to plugging or unplugging process of the charging port (800) from a charging station.
[00037] Providing the charging port (800) on the housing panel of the cabin assembly (109) makes the charging of the battery located in the rear portion of the vehicle (100) convenient and also reduces the distance between the battery and the charging port (800) thereby reduces the wire harness length. If the charging port (800) is mounted on theleft hand side housing panel (109b), then the battery can be located in proximity to the left hand side housing panel (109b). Similarly, if the charging port (800) is mounted on the right hand side housing panel (109a), then the battery can be located in proximity to the right hand side housing panel (109b).
[00038] Fig. 5a illustrates an magnified view of the charger bracket (804) which has a bottom member (803). The bottom member (803) provides a support to the charging port (800) and the charging plug from the charging station. When the charging port (800) plugging and unplugging process is carried out, then the charging port (800) suffers movement in up and down direction which over the time leads to loosening of the charging port (800). Therefore, incorporating the bottom member (803) of the charger bracket (804) eliminates such unnecessary motion and prevents any damage to the mounting of the charging port (800).Fig. 6 illustrates an exploded view of the charging port (800) mounting on the charger bracket (804), from a top view. A charging port axis (LL’) is substantially perpendicular to a plane axis (PP’). The charger bracket (804) is also disposed on the housing panel perpendicular to the plane axis (PP’). The plane axis (PP’) is an axis which is substantially parallel to the surface of the housing panel. The charging port axis (LL’) passes through the centre of the charging port (800).
