Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present subject matter is related, in general to a vehicle, and more particularly, but not exclusively to a fender unit disposed in the frame assembly of the vehicle.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Vehicles of the 21st century are deployed with umpteen electrical and electronic components equipped for the purpose of providing the rider driving comfort, convenience as well as connectivity. The frame structures of vehicles are suitably and appropriately modified to ensure accommodation of various electrical and electronic components whilst providing effective protection to such critical parts.
[0003] Conventionally, in vehicles having an exposed frame structure, no body panels or style panels are provided. The deployment of critical electrical and electronic components in an exposed frame structure is thus difficult owing to their exposure to external environmental factors in the absence of body panels. The critical electrical and electronic components are thus susceptible to dust, water and mud splashed.
[0004] On the other hand, conventional vehicles which are equipped with body panels and style parts have the implicit advantage of adequate protection being accorded to critical electrical and electronic components disposed in the vehicle, however the aesthetics of a vehicle having an exposed frame structure is immensely jeopardized.
[0005] Thus, there is a requirement of a structure configured to effectively protect critical electrical and electronic components deployed in the vehicle without any compromise on the aesthetics of an exposed frame structure.
[0006] 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.

[00024] It is an object of the present subject matter is to provide a fender unit for securely enclosing a plurality of electronic components disposed in the vehicle.
[00025] To this end, the present subject matter discloses a fender unit configured to enclose a plurality of electronic components securely mounted on a base surface of the fender unit. The fender unit is a box-like structure with a pair of primary walls and a pair of secondary walls extending upwards from the base surface of the fender unit to protect the plurality of electronic components from the sides against mud, water and dust. Further, the base surface of the fender unit protects the plurality of electronic components against mud splashes from the rear wheel of the vehicle. Additionally, the top surface of the pair of primary walls and the pair of secondary walls of the fender unit is configured to interface with a bottom surface of the rider seat and pillion seat such that no air gap exists, enclosing the plurality of electronic components from the top surface as well.
[00026] The present subject matter further facilitates the compact disposition of plurality of electronic components in a fender unit. Further, the access to the plurality of electronic components is enhanced from the top by mere removal of the pillion seat and the rider seat.

[00027] Additionally, the disposition of the plurality of electronic components in a compact manner in the fender unit reduces the length of the wiring harness, as all the electrical connections are constraint in a defined space of the fender unit in the vehicle.
[00028] In accordance with the configuration as provided in the present disclosure, the disclosed fender unit can be disposed in a vehicle having an exposed frame without body panels, without any severe modification being done to the vehicle’s original frame structure. Thus, the aesthetics entailed by an exposed frame structure remains intact.
[00029] Additionally, the present subject matter through the disclosed configuration of the fender unit negates the requirement of additional body panels and style parts additionally deployed for protection of plurality of electronic components against external environmental factors. Thus, the total number of parts and overall weight of the vehicle is substantially reduced without any jeopardy to the vehicle exposed frame design.
[00030] In accordance with this configuration, an additional advantage of the present subject matter is the flexibility to manufacture variants in forms of size and ease of manufacturability. The present invention enables modified versions of existing frame structures with minimal changes in the frame structure design, securing of plurality of electronic components in a fender unit and even manufacturing set-up without major revamping of core processes.
