Description:TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present subject matter relates generally to a mounting structure for vehicles, and more specifically, to a mounting structure for accommodating various ancillary components of the vehicle.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Generally, a vehicle comprises of a frame assembly extending rearwardly from a head tube. The frame assembly acts as a skeleton and a structural member for the vehicle that supports the vehicle loads. At least one front wheel is connected to a front portion of the frame assembly through one or more front suspension(s). The frame assembly extends towards a rear portion of the vehicle. At least one rear wheel is connected to a frame assembly through one or more rear suspension(s). The frame assembly comprises of a power unit assembly coupled to it. The power unit assembly is functionally connected to the rear wheel, which provides forward motion to the vehicle. The power unit assembly may be a conventional engine assembly or a battery box-motor assembly. A muffler assembly is provided at a lateral side of the vehicle mounted to the frame assembly or the vehicle through a mounting structure for vehicles containing an engine assembly. The muffler assembly extends in a rearward direction along the length of the vehicle. An exhaust port is provided in the power unit assembly through which an exhaust pipe extends in a reverse direction forming a part of the muffler assembly.
[0003] These vehicles incorporating the internal combustion engine are powered by gasoline or diesel. Combustion process that takes place in the internal combustion engine is converted into mechanical energy for producing the required amount of power and torque. For electric vehicles, the power unit assembly The vehicle further includes various subsystems to enable effective functioning of the vehicle. A battery assembly is operatively coupled to deliver power to a starter motor, spark plugs and an instrument cluster. In an electric vehicle, the battery assembly is connected to the motor and other electrical/electronic components. These electrical components of the vehicle are connected to the battery through electrical wiring assemblies that are mounted on harnesses. In various cases these wiring harnesses are exposed to the atmosphere and may be prone to fire accident and sparking incidents.
[0004] Further, vehicles having a conventional engine include a fuel tank. The electric components that are placed below the fuel tank are difficult to access and it becomes difficult to route the wirings properly because of sharp edges of the fuel tank assembly. Furthermore, the sharp edges of the fuel tank may cause damage to the wirings by contact over time.
[0005] In the existing solutions, the relays and wirings are assembled below the fuel tank. During any failure trouble shooting analysis, to access the relays, the fuel tank needs to be removed as well as the sear cover and any side covers which increases the overall service time in case of failures.
[0006] One of the solutions is to increase the overall length of the wirings and the relays to ensure proper connections but long battery wire connections lead to battery wire getting partially exposed in the air with overheads of increased cost of the connecting wire. Further, in rainy operating conditions, the battery wires may get immersed in muddy water which would adversely affect the service, durability and the stability of the battery during operation. Further, solutions frame structures where installation site for the electrical components such as the controller in the vehicle frame is reserved lead to a higher production cost.
[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to have a solution that enables convenient mounting of electrical components on to the vehicle and easy accessibility of the electrical components for servicing.
[0008] 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, as set forth in the remainder of the present application and with reference to the drawings.
