FIELD OF INVENTION
[0001] Embodiments of a present disclosure relates to an electric vehicle, and more particularly to an electric throttle for an electric vehicle.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Electric vehicles (EV) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) are rapidly overtaking the automotive market. People on daily basis are shifting from internal combustion engine vehicles to electric vehicles. The increase in pollution is one of the important reasons for people shifting to electric vehicles.
[0003] Conventionally, internal combustion engine vehicles operate on 120-degree rotation throttle. Present design for any electric vehicle has 60-degree electrical rotation throttle. The electric vehicle user shifting from internal combustion engines to electric vehicles, lack the complete vehicle control feel due to this vital throttle difference. The throttle signal feel is changed because the driver who use to turn throttle by 60 degrees in internal combustion engine vehicle for 50% speed will get full speed here as rotation of throttle in an electric vehicle is only 60-degrees.
[0004] Furthermore, drive train efficiency is less in 60-degree electrical rotation throttle because 60-degree rotation of throttle leads to full speed. Thus, acceleration is more, and efficiency is less.
[0005] Hence, there is a need for an improved electric throttle for the electric vehicles and therefore address the aforementioned issues.
SUMMARY
[0006] In accordance with one embodiment of the disclosure, an electric throttle in a handlebar of an electric vehicle is disclosed. The electric throttle includes a throttle printed circuit board (PCB) housing and a throttle PCB housing cap. The throttle PCB housing positioned adjacent to proximal end of a twister grip. The throttle PCB housing includes a magnetic member, a printed circuit board (PCB), and a microcontroller. The magnetic member is placed around an inner circumference of the throttle PCB housing and configured to move from a first position to a second position along with twisting of the electric throttle around a central axis.
[0007] The magnetic member generates a magnetic flux around the electric throttle while moving from the first position and the second position. The magnetic member generates the magnetic flux corresponding to a rotational angle of the electric throttle created by twisting of the twister grip. A voltage value is set for each of the magnetic flux that is generated at each rotational angle of the electric throttle.
[0008] The PCB located inside the throttle PCB housing includes a sensor unit connected to the magnetic member. The sensor unit (a) senses the magnetic flux with the corresponding rotational angle of the electric throttle, and (b) transmits a sensed magnetic flux for the corresponding rotational angle of the electric throttle. The microcontroller is arranged inside the throttle PCB housing and is coupled to the PCB.
[0009] The microcontroller (a) receives the sensed magnetic flux for the corresponding rotational angle of the electric throttle from the sensor unit, (b) determines a position of the magnetic member based on receiving of the sensed magnetic flux, (c) calculates a corresponding voltage value based on the position of the magnetic member in the electric throttle, and (c) transmits a signal to a motor controller to control speed of a motor of the electric vehicle based on the calculated voltage value.
[0010] The throttle PCB housing cap affixed towards a distal end of the throttle PCB housing to hermetically seal the throttle PCB housing around the handlebar.
[0011] In an embodiment, the electric throttle further includes a torsion return spring that is arranged inside the throttle PCB housing to recoup the electric throttle to an initial position. The initial position of the electric throttle is kept at the rotational angle of 0 degree twist.
[0012] In another embodiment, the electric throttle further includes a rotation stopper mechanically configured to stop movement of the electric throttle beyond the second position. In an embodiment, the first position is representative of initial throttle position and the second position is representative of full throttle position, where the first position and the second position are spaced apart by a 120-degree rotational distance. In yet another embodiment, the electric throttle further includes a twister grip that enables the user to twist the electric throttle from 0 degree to 120 degree rotational angle.
[0013] In yet another embodiment, the sensor unit is a hall sensor that senses the magnetic flux generated by the magnetic member. In yet another embodiment, the magnetic member used for the 120-degree enabled electric throttle is larger around a periphery of the electric throttle.

[0031] In the following specification and the claims, reference will be made to a number of terms, which shall be defined to have the following meanings. The singular forms “a”, “an”, and “the” include plural references unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.
[0032] FIG. 1 is a side view of an exemplary electric vehicle 100 having an electric throttle 102, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. The electric vehicle 100 refers to an electric two-wheeler vehicle that includes at least one of: electric motorcycles, scooters, and the like, which are plug-in electric vehicles. In such embodiment, electricity is stored on board in a rechargeable battery, which drives the electric motors.
[0033] Speed target depends on each of the electric motor power used. In such embodiment, if more speed is needed then more power is needed from the electric motor. The electric throttle 102 is mounted on a handlebar 104 (as shown in FIG. 2) and activated by twisting. The electric throttle 102 enables a user of the electric two-wheeler vehicle 100 to get more power from the electric motor, and thereby increase speed.
[0034] FIG. 2 is a top perspective view of the exemplary handlebar 104 with the electric throttle 102 in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. The electric two-wheeler vehicle 100 includes a throttle mounting portion at one end of the handlebar 104. The handlebar 104 is the steering bar of a motorbike. The electric throttle 102 includes a throttle printed circuit board (PCB) housing 202. In an embodiment, the electric throttle is a 120-degree enabled electric throttle 102 mounted over the throttle mounting portion. The 120-degree enabled electric throttle 102 is fabricated like the internal combustion engine vehicle throttle.
[0035] FIG. 3 is a side perspective view of the exemplary handlebar 104 with the electric throttle 102 in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. The acceleration of motor is decreased nearly to 50 percent when compared with any known 60-degree enabled electric throttle with same degree of rotation by the user of the electric two-wheeler vehicle 100. As, the 120-degree enabled electric throttle 102 decreases the acceleration of the electric two-wheeler vehicle 100, the designed electric throttle 102 thereby increases the drive train efficiency of the electric two-wheeler vehicle 100. The 120-degree enabled electric throttle 102 provides 100 percent power on 120-degree rotation of the electric throttle 102.
[0036] FIGS. 4A-4B are schematic representation of the electric throttle in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIGS. 4A-4B show the electric throttle 102 that includes the throttle PCB housing 202 and a twister grip 406 for the user of the electric two-wheeler vehicle 100 to twist the electric throttle 102.
[0037] FIG. 4C is an exploded view of the electric throttle 102, such as those shown in FIGS. 4A-4B, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. The exploded view of the electric throttle 102 includes the throttle PCB housing 202, a throttle PCB housing cap 404, the twister grip 406 and a torsion return spring 408. The throttle PCB housing 202 includes a magnetic member, a printed circuit board (PCB) 402, a microcontroller, and a rotation stopper. In an embodiment, the PCB 402 located inside the throttle PCB housing 202 includes a sensor unit. In other words, the sensor unit is a part of the PCB 402.
[0038] The magnetic member is associated with the 120-degree enabled electric throttle 102 and the throttle mounting portion. The magnetic member is placed around an inner circumference of the throttle printed circuit board (PCB) housing 202 and configured to move from a first position to a second position along with twisting of the electric throttle 102 around a central axis.
[0039] The magnetic member generates a magnetic flux around the electric throttle 102 while moving from the first position to the second position of the electric throttle 102. The magnetic member generates the magnetic flux corresponding to a rotational angle of the electric throttle 102 created by twisting of the twister grip 406. In an embodiment, the voltage values are set for each of the magnetic flux that is generated at each rotational angle of the electric throttle 102. In an embodiment, the first position is representative of initial throttle position and the second position is representative of full throttle position, where the first position and the second position are spaced apart by a 120-degree rotational distance.
[0040] For example, the voltage values are set from 0.8V to 4.2V, where 0.8V represents 0-degree rotational angle position (i.e., the start position of the electric throttle 102), and 4.2V represents 120-degree rotational angle position (i.e., the end position of the electric throttle 102). The voltage values in between 0.8V-4.2V represent multiple positions of the electric throttle corresponding to each of rotational angles. In an embodiment, the magnetic member used for the 120-degree enabled electric throttle 102 is larger around the periphery of the 120-degree enabled electric throttle 102 compared to 60 degree rotation throttle.
[0041] In operation, the working principle of the 120-degree enabled electric throttle 102 is different from the throttle of an internal combustion engine vehicle as the internal combustion engine vehicle utilizes the throttle with wire. In exemplary situation, the user of the electric vehicle 100 turns 30-degree of the designed electric throttle 102 to get 25 percent speed increase. In one such embodiment, the user of the electric vehicle 100 turns 60-degree of the designed electric throttle 102 to get 50 percent speed increase. In another such embodiment, the user of the electric vehicle 100 turns 120-degree of the designed electric throttle 102 to get 100 percent speed increase.
[0042] The sensor unit in the PCB 402 is connected to the magnetic member. The sensor unit senses the magnetic flux with the corresponding rotational angle of the electric throttle 102 when the user of the electric vehicle 100 (i.e., the electric two-wheeler vehicle 100) twists the electric throttle 102. The sensor unit further transmits a sensed magnetic flux for the corresponding rotational angle of the electric throttle 102. In an embodiment, the sensor unit is a hall sensor that senses the magnetic flux generated by the magnetic member.
[0043] The microcontroller is arranged inside the throttle PCB housing 202 and coupled to the PCB 402. The microcontroller receives the sensed magnetic flux for the corresponding rotational angle of the electric throttle 102 from the sensor unit. The microcontroller further determines a position of the magnetic member based on receiving of the sensed magnetic flux. The microcontroller further calculates a corresponding voltage value based on the position of the magnetic member in the electric throttle 102. The microcontroller further transmits a signal to a motor controller to control speed of a motor of the electric vehicle 100 based on the calculated voltage value.
[0044] The throttle PCB housing cap 404 is affixed towards a distal end of the throttle PCB housing 202 to hermetically seal the throttle PCB housing 202 around the handlebar 104. The rotation stopper is mechanically configured to stop a movement of the electric throttle 102 beyond the second position.
[0045] In other words, the rotation stopper is mechanically configured to stop the movement of the electric throttle 102 when the electric throttle 102 is twisted above a predetermined threshold value. In an embodiment, the predetermined threshold value is related to a higher rotational angle of the electric throttle 102 that is twisted by the user of the electric vehicle 100. In an embodiment, the higher rotational angle for the 120-degree enabled electric throttle 102 is 120-degree twist.
[0046] The twister grip 406 enables the user to twist the electric throttle 102 from 0 degree to 120 degree rotational angle. In an embodiment, the twister grip 406 is made using a rubber to provide more grip to the user to twist the electric throttle 102. The torsion return spring 408 is arranged inside the throttle PCB housing 202 to recoup the electric throttle 102 to an initial position. In an embodiment, the initial position of the electric throttle 102 is kept at the rotational angle of 0 degree twist.
[0047] FIG. 5 is an exploded view of the exemplary electric throttle 102 with rotational angle of 0-degree alignment 502, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. The 0-degree alignment 502 refers to 0-degree rotation of the electric throttle 102 along the central axis 504. FIG. 6 is an exploded view of the exemplary electric throttle 102 with rotational angle of 120-degree alignment 602, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. The 120-degree alignment 602 refers to a 120-degree rotation of the electric throttle 102 along the central axis 504. In such embodiment, the 0-degree alignment 502 refers to a zero throttle position and the 120-degree alignment 602 refers to a full throttle position.
[0048] FIGS. 7A-7B are cross sectional views of an exemplary 60-degree rotation electric throttle unit 700, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 7A shows that the 60-degree rotation electric throttle unit 700 is in an initial position (i.e., the first position of the magnetic member 702 in 0 degree rotational angle (i.e., zero throttle input) before the user twists the 60-degree rotation electric throttle unit 700). The 60-degree rotation electric throttle unit 700 includes the throttle PCB housing 202. The throttle PCB housing 202 includes the magnetic member 702, the rotation stopper 704, and the sensor unit 706. In an embodiment, the magnetic member 702 used for the 60-degree rotation electric throttle unit 700 is smaller around the periphery of the 60-degree rotation electric throttle unit 700.
[0049] FIG. 7B shows that the 60-degree rotation electric throttle unit 700 is in an end position (i.e., the second position of the magnetic member 702 in 60 degree rotational angle (i.e., full throttle input) after the user twists the 60-degree rotation electric throttle unit 700). The rotation stopper 704 stops a movement of the 60-degree rotation electric throttle unit 700 when the 60-degree rotation electric throttle unit 700 is twisted beyond the second position (i.e., the 60-degree maximum rotational angle of the electric throttle 700). FIG. 7C shows schematic representation of the 60-degree rotation electric throttle unit 700 that includes the throttle PCB housing 202 and the twister grip 406.
[0050] FIGS. 8A-8B are cross sectional views of a 120-degree rotation electric throttle unit 800, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 8A shows that the 120-degree rotation electric throttle unit 800 is in an initial position (i.e., the first position of the magnetic member 802 in 0 degree rotational angle (i.e., zero throttle input) before the user twists the 120-degree rotation electric throttle unit 800). The 120-degree rotation electric throttle unit 700 includes the throttle PCB housing 202. The throttle PCB housing 202 includes the magnetic member 802, the sensor unit 706, and the rotation stopper 704. In an embodiment, the magnetic member 802 used for the 120-degree rotation electric throttle unit 800 is larger around the periphery of the 120-degree rotation electric throttle unit 800.
[0051] FIG. 8B shows that the 120-degree rotation electric throttle unit 800 is in an end position (i.e., the second position of the magnetic member 802 in 120 degree rotational angle (i.e., full throttle input) after the user twists the 120-degree rotation electric throttle unit 800). The rotation stopper 704 stops a movement of the 120-degree rotation electric throttle unit 800 when the 120-degree rotation electric throttle unit 800 is twisted beyond the second position (i.e., the 120-degree maximum rotational angle of the electric throttle 800). FIG. 8C shows schematic representation of the 120-degree rotation electric throttle unit 800 that includes the throttle PCB housing 202 and the twister grip 406.
[0052] Various embodiments of the present invention provide efficient and ergonomic design of electric throttle 102. The electric throttle 102 of 120 degrees rotation in electric two-wheeler vehicle 100 which will take care of same drivability parameters of a person using internal combustion engine vehicle. The present invention also helps the user to drive at similar speed at particular electrical rotation of the electric throttle 102 like internal combustion engine throttle. The drive train efficiency will be increased as the electric two-wheeler vehicle 100 takes more time to reach full speed so acceleration is less.
[0053] The present invention provides the 120-degree enabled magnetic member 802 in a position such that a start position of the 120-degree enabled magnetic member 802 in the electric throttle 102 matches the sitting posture of the user on the electric two-wheeler vehicle 100, so that the end position of the 120-degree enabled magnetic member 802 in the electric throttle 102 does not create strain on user’s hands.
