Specification

TECHNICAL FIELD
[001] The present disclosure relates generally to the field of vehicles, more particularly, the present disclosure pertains to a V-type solenoid engine for vehicle.

BACKGROUND
[002] Electric engines are becoming increasingly attractive alternative to an internal combustion engine. Air pollution is a major issue in big cities, since it degrades air quality and leads to illnesses that affect breathing. The world is quickly adopting to electric vehicles and it is expected that in the next couple of decades, Electric vehicles are going to be more mainstream than internal combustion vehicles. More automotive manufacturers are now devoting a rather large chunk of their resources towards the research and development of electric engine driven vehicles.
[003] Existing solenoid engines aim at machinery such as toys, tools etc. The problem is that most of present solenoid engines use methods or tools to convert I.C engines into electrical engines which makes the engine very bulky and prone to malfunction. Also, most of the models aim to use solenoid engines as educational purposes. Another problem in the existing mechanism is that they use a very complex system to time the supply of current to different solenoids as to make the engine run smoothly.
[004] Efforts have been made in the past to overcome problem associated with solenoid engine for vehicles. For example, United states Patent US6457977B1 discloses an apparatus consisting of a set of parts that can be assembled into a variety of internal-combustion engine analogs. The set of parts comprises a set of platform parts that can be assembled into a platform having a platform rotary axis and a platform reference axis normal to the platform rotary axis and a set of driver parts that can be assembled with a set of platform parts into a driver assembly supported by the platform. The driver assembly comprises one or more drivers, each driver containing a first driver point and a second driver point. The first driver point travels back and forth along a driver line segment while the second driver point travels in a driver circle around a driver-assembly rotary axis.
[005] United States Patent US4510420A discloses a pulse width modulator circuit to control the duty cycle pulses applied to coils for rotating an engine. The pulse width modulator (PWM) cooperates with an engine distributor system to generate a procession of pulses which are in turn applied to a power transistor to switch the transistor off and on in timed sequence. This applies power to coils for a magnetic engine. Moreover, two coils are included with each piston and are therefore able to be triggered at different intervals. A modified construction is also disclosed including a pair of coils which are serially positioned but independently connected to cooperate with a sleeve and piston telescoped therein and suitable passages for cooling water are also included.
[006] There is therefore a need in the art to provide a V-type solenoid engine that can be used to drive a vehicle, that is cost effective, easy to implement, is less bulky, and can be easily integrated with the existing IC engines.

[0030] The present disclosure relates generally to the field of vehicles, more particularly, the present disclosure pertains to a V-type solenoid engine for vehicle.
[0031] A V-type solenoid engine for vehicle is described. An aspect of the present disclosure pertains to a V-type, solenoid powered engine for vehicle. The engine can include: two set of solenoids configured on an engine block in a V-shape profile, each of the two set of solenoids having a plunger, and each of the plungers are connected to a single crank-shaft; two switches comprising a normally open switch and normally closed switch, the two switches are configured to control power supply to the two set of solenoids from a power source such that there being a switch for each set of solenoids such that power to the one set of solenoids is controlled by the normally open switch and the power to the other set of solenoids is controlled by the normally closed switch; and a flywheel coupled to the crank-shaft, the flywheel having two projections at outer periphery of the flywheel, wherein rotation of the flywheel affect actuation of the two switches simultaneously to maintain power supply to one of the two set of solenoids at a time. The power source comprises a set of batteries to provide power to the two set of solenoids. In an aspect, both of the two switches are limit switch. Each of the two projections at outer periphery of the flywheel have two rises such that the two rises are at 90 degrees to each another. In an aspect, both of the switches are placed at an optimum distance from the flywheel such that rotation of the flywheel affect actuation of the two switches simultaneously.
[0032] FIGs. 1A & 1B illustrates an exemplary representation of top view of a V-type solenoid engine in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure.
[0033] In an embodiment, a V-type solenoid engine 100 can include two sets of solenoids. The engine 100 comprises a first set of solenoids comprises plurality of first solenoids 102-1, 102-2, 102-3, 102-4 (collectively referred to as first set of solenoids 102 or first solenoids 102 and individually referred to as a first solenoid 102 hereinafter) and a second set of solenoids comprises a plurality of second solenoids 104-1, 104-2, 104-3, 104-4 (collectively referred to as second set of solenoids 104 or second solenoids 104 and individually referred to as second solenoid 104 hereinafter).
[0034] In an embodiment, the first solenoid 102 and the second solenoid 104 can include a plunger (not shown). The plunger can be connected with crank shaft of the engine. In an embodiment, the engine can include a fly wheel 200 as shown in FIG. 2. The flywheel 200, the fly wheel can be coupled to the crank-shaft 200. In an embodiment, the flywheel 200 can have two projections at outer periphery of the flywheel 200. Each of the two projections can have two rise such that the two rises are at 90 degrees to one another.
[0035] In an embodiment, the engine 100 can have two switches. A first switch 202 and a second switch 204 can be located at an optimum distance from the flywheel 200 such that rotation of the flywheel 200 can affect the actuation of the two switches. In an exemplary embodiment, the first switch 202 can include but not limited to a limit switch. The first switch can be of a configuration of normally open switch i.e. the first switch 202 in its initial condition is open i.e. the circuit is open. In an exemplary embodiment, the second switch 204 can include but not limited to a limit switch. The second switch 204 can be of a configuration of normally closed switch i.e. the second switch 204 in its initial condition is closed i.e. the circuit is closed.
[0036] In an embodiment, the engine 100 can include a set of batteries (not shown). The set of batteries are configured such that to provide power two each of the two set of solenoids through the first switch 202 and the second switch 204.
[0037] In an embodiment, the power to the first solenoids 102 and the second solenoids 104 can be controlled with the help of the first switch 202 and the second switch 204. In an exemplary embodiment, the first switch 202 can be used to control the power to the first solenoids 102 and the second switch 204 can be used to control the power to the second solenoids 104.
[0038] For example, the first switch 202 is in normally open state thus the current to the first solenoids 102 is restricted at the first switch 202 and the second switch 204 is in normally closed state thus the current to the second solenoids 104 is restricted at the second switch 204. Now when the flywheel 200 rotates and the first switch 202 and the second switch 204 are simultaneously actuated. Upon actuation, the first switch 202 gets closed thereby allowing the current from the set of batteries to the first solenoids 102 and simultaneously upon actuation, the second switch 204 gets opened thereby restricting the current from the set of batteries to the second solenoids 104.
[0039] In an embodiment, the alternate actuation and de-actuation of the first switch 202 and the second switch 204 causes alternatively passage and restriction of current to the first solenoids 102 and the second solenoids 104. This alternate passage of current to the two sets of solenoids causes movement to the plunger thus providing rotatory movement to the crank shaft thus, the rotator movement is transmitted to the fly-wheel 200.
[0040] It would be appreciated by the person skilled in the art that the current invention can provide an alternate power source to the IC engine that is cost effective, less bulky, cost effective and causes zero emission of pollution.
[0041] Although the proposed system has been elaborated as above to include all the main parts, it is completely possible that actual implementations may include only a part of the proposed modules/engines or a combination of those or a division of those in various combinations across multiple devices that can be operatively coupled with each other, including in the cloud. Further the modules/engines can be configured in any sequence to achieve objectives elaborated. Also, it can be appreciated that proposed system can be configured in a computing device or across a plurality of computing devices operatively connected with each other, wherein the computing devices can be any of a computer, a laptop, a smart phone, an Internet enabled mobile device and the like. All such modifications and embodiments are completely within the scope of the present disclosure.
[0042] Embodiments of the present disclosure may be implemented entirely hardware, entirely software (including firmware, resident software, micro-code, etc.) or combining software and hardware implementation that may all generally be referred to herein as a “circuit,” “module,” “component,” or “system.” Furthermore, aspects of the present disclosure may take the form of a computer program product comprising one or more computer readable media having computer readable program code embodied thereon.
[0043] Thus, it will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that the diagrams, schematics, illustrations, and the like represent conceptual views or processes illustrating systems and methods embodying this invention. The functions of the various elements shown in the figures may be provided through the use of dedicated hardware as well as hardware capable of executing associated software. Similarly, any switches shown in the figures are conceptual only. Their function may be carried out through the operation of program logic, through dedicated logic, through the interaction of program control and dedicated logic, or even manually, the particular technique being selectable by the entity implementing this invention. Those of ordinary skill in the art further understand that the exemplary hardware, software, processes, methods, and/or operating systems described herein are for illustrative purposes and, thus, are not intended to be limited to any particular named.
[0044] As used herein, and unless the context dictates otherwise, the term "coupled to" is intended to include both direct coupling (in which two elements that are coupled to each other contact each other) and indirect coupling (in which at least one additional element is located between the two elements). Therefore, the terms "coupled to" and "coupled with" are used synonymously. Within the context of this document terms "coupled to" and "coupled with" are also used euphemistically to mean “communicatively coupled with” over a network, where two or more devices are able to exchange data with each other over the network, possibly via one or more intermediary device.
[0045] It should be apparent to those skilled in the art that many more modifications besides those already described are possible without departing from the inventive concepts herein. The inventive subject matter, therefore, is not to be restricted except in the spirit of the appended claims. Moreover, in interpreting both the specification and the claims, all terms should be interpreted in the broadest possible manner consistent with the context. In particular, the terms “comprises” and “comprising” should be interpreted as referring to elements, components, or steps in a non-exclusive manner, indicating that the referenced elements, components, or steps may be present, or utilized, or combined with other elements, components, or steps that are not expressly referenced. Where the specification claims refers to at least one of something selected from the group consisting of A, B, C …. and N, the text should be interpreted as requiring only one element from the group, not A plus N, or B plus N, etc.
[0046] While the foregoing describes various embodiments of the invention, other and further embodiments of the invention may be devised without departing from the basic scope thereof. The scope of the invention is determined by the claims that follow. The invention is not limited to the described embodiments, versions or examples, which are included to enable people having ordinary skill in the art to make and use the invention when combined with information and knowledge available to the person having ordinary skill in the art.
