Description:The innovative invention introduces a Cross-Section Modified Double Cradle Frame for superbikes, aiming to revolutionize vehicle handling and dynamics. Utilizing 3D printing with Variable Amplitude Arc Manufacturing (VAM) technology, the frame undergoes intricate customization, overcoming traditional manufacturing limitations. Carbon fiber reinforcement strategically enhances structural integrity without compromising weight. The primary goal is to optimize strength-to-weight ratios, providing a fine balance crucial for high-performance superbikes. Tailored for the Indian market, particularly the 250cc segment, the invention addresses specific rider needs. Beyond superbikes, the breakthrough hints at broader applications in the automotive industry, showcasing a technological leap in lightweight materials and manufacturing techniques. This marks a significant advancement in motorcycle technology with potential implications beyond the superbike sector.
Key Components and Functionality:
1. Main Frame Tubes:
- Primary longitudinal members forming the backbone of the frame.
- Provide structural support and rigidity to the overall frame structure.
2. Front Down-Tube:
- Extends from the steering head to the bottom of the engine.
- Supports the front portion of the frame and contributes to impact absorption.
- Distributes loads and forces throughout the frame.
3. Rear Down-Tube:
- Runs from the steering head to the rear suspension linkage.
- Offers support to the rear portion of the frame, maintaining overall stability.
- Influences the overall handling and performance characteristics of the bike.
4. Steering Head:
- Critical component connecting the front fork to the frame.
- Enables steering and controls the direction of the motorcycle.
5. Engine Mounts:
- Attach the engine to the frame securely.
- Distribute the forces and vibrations generated by the engine.
6. Subframe:
- Additional frame structure attached to the main frame.
- Supports the rear section of the motorcycle, including the seat and rear fender.
- Maintains the structural integrity of the motorcycle, ensuring stability and safety
7. \Swingarm Pivot:
- Attachment point for the swingarm.
- Dictates the movement and articulation of the rear suspension.
8. Cross-Members:
- Horizontal or diagonal members connecting the main frame tubes.
- Reinforce the frame structure, enhancing overall stiffness.
, Claims:1. High Cornering stability: based on the software generated analysis the rate of deformation torsional was about force is 0.0004m twist that is remarkable in market standard.
2. Rapid Response to Impact: Based on the results of both the results from the materials selected, carbon fiber reinforced with AlSic shows lower deformation rate and higher stress withstanding capacity in it with 24% frontal, 10% rear, 19% torsional improvement respectively.
3. Effective Driving Feedback: The model is tested with agility and to respond to obstacles with confidence since it is modelled based on a commanding ceating posture and riding triangle.
