A Vehicle With An Electric Prime Mover

Abstract: The present subject matter provides a vehicle (100) with an electric prime mover (120). A structural member (135) is capable of supporting the electric prime mover (120) rotatably. The electric prime mover (120) includes a shaft (315) fixedly mounted to the structural member (135) and is disposed substantially in a lateral direction (RH-LH) of the vehicle (100). A cable assembly (325) extends outward from said stationary member (305) through a cable path (316) defined by the shaft (315). The cable path (316) includes at least a portion provided with a caulking member (375) capable of securely holding the cable assembly (325) thereat whereby the caulking member (375) provides the cable path (316) with a tight seal.

Specification

We claim:
1. A vehicle (100) with an electric prime mover (120), said vehicle (100)
comprising:
a frame member (105) acting as a load bearing member of said vehicle (100); and
a structural member (135) functionally connected to said frame member (105), and said structural member (135) capable of supporting said electric prime mover (120) rotatably,
said electric prime mover (120) includes a shaft (315) fixedly mounted to said structural member (135) and is disposed substantially in a lateral direction (RH-LH) of said vehicle (100), said shaft (315) fixedly supports a stationary member (305) of said electric prime mover (120) and said shaft (315) rotatably supports a rotating member (310) of said electric prime mover (120),
wherein a cable assembly (325, 425) extends outward from said stationary member (305) through a cable path (316) defined by said shaft (315), said cable path (316) includes at least a portion provided with a caulking member (375, 376) capable of securely holding the cable assembly (325, 425) thereat, and said cable assembly (325, 425) includes an external sheath (370) forming at least an outer periphery of said cable assembly (325, 425).
2. The vehicle (100) with the electric prime mover (120) as claimed in claim 1, wherein said cable path (316) includes an exit passage (316C) disposed at one end portion of the shaft (315), and said exit passage (316C) is disposed at angle (ϴ) with respect to a shaft axis (S-S’) of said shaft (315).
3. The vehicle (100) with the electric prime mover (120) as claimed in claim 1 or 2, wherein said external sheath (370), extending along at least a length of the said cable assembly (325, 425), at least partially enters said cable path (316) through an exit passage (316C) and said external sheath (370) is disposed substantially outward of the said shaft (315).
4. The vehicle (100) with the electric prime mover (120) as claimed in claim 1, said caulking member (375, 376) is formed by a material capable of being

introduced into said cable path (316) and subsequently said material being hardened forming said caulking member (375, 376).
5. The vehicle (100) with the electric prime mover (120) as claimed in claim 1, wherein said caulking member (375, 376), made of an elastic material, is secured to said cable assembly (325, 425) and said cable assembly (325, 425) along with said caulking member (376) is capable of being securely mounted to said shaft (315).
6. The vehicle (100) with the electric prime mover (120) as claimed in claim 1, wherein said cable assembly (325, 425) extends outward of the shaft (315) and outwardly of the structural member (135), swingably connected to said frame member (105), substantially along at least a length of said structural member (135) and adjacent to an outer face (FO) of said structural member (135).
7. The vehicle (100) with the electric prime mover (120) as claimed in claim 1, wherein said cable assembly (325, 425) extends outward of the shaft (315) and extends inwardly of the structural member (135), swingably connected to said frame member (105), substantially along at least a length of said structural member (135) and adjacent to an inner face (FIN) of said structural member (135).
8. The vehicle (100) with the electric prime mover (120) as claimed in claim 1, wherein said cable path (316) includes an entry passage (316A) and an exit passage (316C), said entry passage (316A) and said exit passage (316C) connected by a axial path (316B), said entry passage (316A) disposed substantially at a shaft center (SC) of said shaft (315), said entry passage (316A) is disposable in at least a first orientation to enable connection with one or more winding(s) wound about said stationary member (305), and wherein said exit passage (316C) is disposed at one end portion of said shaft (315).
9. The vehicle (100) with the electric prime mover (120) as claimed in claim 1 or 8, wherein said external sheath (370) is secured at the cable path (316) by said caulking member (375, 376) that seals an opening of the external sheath (370) thereat.
10. The vehicle (100) with the electric prime mover (120) as claimed in claim 1 or 8, wherein said cable assembly (325, 425) is annularly enclosed by an elastic guard

member (340) disposed along at least a length of said cable assembly (325, 425), said elastic guard member (340) is made of a rigid material and is capable of structurally expanding and compressing for compensating variations due to swinging motion of said structural member (135) swingably connected to said frame member (105).
11. The vehicle (100) with the electric prime mover (120) as claimed in claim 10, wherein said elastic guard member (340) extending along said cable assembly (325, 425) is having a converging portion (340A) disposed in proximity to said shaft (315), and wherein at least a portion of said converging portion (340A) extends at least partially into said exit passage (316C).
