, Description:Complete Specification:
The following specification describes and ascertains the nature of this invention and the manner in which it is to be performed
Field of the invention
[0001] The present disclosure relates to an accelerator handle for a two-wheeler.
Background of the invention
[0002] In two-wheeler vehicles, cases of accidents are often seen when a child accidently pulls accelerator on the vehicle handlebar during vehicle idle condition. Even though the driver is sitting on the vehicle, there is no control for protecting the vehicle and the raiders in case of unexpected movement of the vehicle. There is a need to have an innovative child lock in handlebar of two-wheelers to avoid such mishaps. Not only a child in some situations there is a need to prevent unauthorized access to the two-wheeler.
[0003] Patent Application CN113212608 A titled “Child protection system for electric vehicle” discloses a child protection system for an electric vehicle, and relates to the technical field of electric vehicles, and the child protection system is characterized by comprising an electric vehicle vehicle-mounted control center, a pressure sensing piece used for detecting the pressure borne by an electric vehicle cushion and a locking device used for controlling a handlebar of the electric vehicle to be locked; the pressure sensing piece and the locking device are both connected with the vehicle-mounted control center of the electric vehicle, and the pressure sensing piece is arranged and installed on the seat cushion of the electric vehicle, so that the weight pressure of an adult can reach a set value, the handlebar can be rotated, during driving, the pressure of a child cannot reach the set value, the handlebar cannot be rotated, the vehicle is locked, and the protection effect is achieved.
Brief description of the accompanying drawings
[0004] An embodiment of the invention is described with reference to the following accompanying drawings:
[0005] Figure 1 depicts an accelerator handle (101) for a two-wheeler; and at least
[0006] Figure 2 depicts a sectional view of the accelerator handle (101) for a two-wheeler in two operative positions.
Detailed description of the drawings
[0007] Figure 1 depicts an accelerator handle (101) for a two-wheeler. The accelerator handle (101) for the purposed of this invention is mounted on the handlebar (100) of the two-wheeler. The accelerator handle (101) comprises a palm sensor and at least an actuator (102). The palm sensor is located on an accelerator grip (105) of the accelerator handle (101). In one embodiment of the present invention, the accelerator grip (105) is fitted with a grove type touch sensor. In other alternative embodiments infrared or pressure-based palm sensors can also be implemented. It should be understood at the outset that, although exemplary embodiments are illustrated in the figures and described below, the present disclosure should in no way be limited to the exemplary implementations and techniques illustrated in the drawings and described below.
[0008] Figure 2 depicts a sectional view of the accelerator handle (101) for a two-wheeler in two operative positions. The actuator (102) is connected to an accelerator cable (104) by an accelerator cable port (103). The accelerator cable port (103) is adapted to rotate the accelerator in operative configuration. The accelerator translates the rotary motion of the accelerator handle (101) to a fueling action in the carburetor or engine of the two-wheeler. In an exemplary embodiment, the actuator (102) can be a separate component and in other embodiments, it may form part of the accelerator cable port (103). The actuator (102) comprises a lever (1022) and at least a controller (1021). The lever (1022) adapted to engage with the accelerator cable port (103). The controller (1021) is in communication with the lever (1022) and at least the palm sensor.
[0009] The lever (1022) locks the accelerator cable by engaging with the accelerator cable port (103). Correspondingly, the accelerator cable port (103) has a groove to accommodate the lever (1022). The lever (1022) is configured to lock and unlock the accelerator cable in dependence of communication from the controller (1021). The controller (1021) can be one or more microchips or integrated circuits interconnected using a parent board, a microprocessor, firmware, or an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), and/or a field programmable gate array (FPGA). The data received from the palm sensor is stored in a memory of the controller (1021). The controller (1021) is enabled with cloud connectivity.
[0010] Figure 2 depicts in two operative positions of the accelerator handle (101) and its components. In the first operative condition, the rotational movement of the accelerator handle (101) is possible only when the detected features of the palm measured by the palm sensor satisfies the criteria of the controller (1021). The coverage of an adult palm on to the accelerator is one criteria for an intended movement of the vehicle. Another feature of antitheft concept can be another criteria. This is feasible by integrating the specific fingerprint match as a principle for antitheft. That means the accelerator cable is in an unlock condition only when the featured of detected palm are verified in accordance with the pre-conditions by the controller (1021) initially. In this operative position, the controller (1021) takes no action, and the lever (1022) is not engaged with the accelerator cable port (103).
[0011] In the other operative position when the palm featured detected by the palm sensor are not verified in accordance with the pre-conditions of the controller (1021), the actuator (102) moves the lever (1022) to engage it with the accelerator cable port (103). The lever (1022) engages with accelerator cable port (103) in a direction perpendicular to rotational motion of the accelerator thereby arresting the rotational motion and locking the accelerator cable. Further owing to cloud connectivity of the controller (1021) further activities are communicated to the owner instantly through interfaced Wi-Fi/cloud/smartphone for necessary actions such as allowing access to the vehicle based on information received from the palm sensor.
[0012] This idea to develop an accelerator handle (101) for a two-wheeler gives a safety feature as an add on without disturbing the drivability/ usability and ergonomics of accelerator. Further integrated antitheft concept can be embedded in the accelerator by means of the controller (1021).
[0013] It must be understood that the embodiments explained in the above detailed description are only illustrative and do not limit the scope of this invention. Any modification to an accelerator handle for a two-wheeler are envisaged and form a part of this invention. The scope of this invention is limited only by the claims
