ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS ASSEMBLY FOR A VEHICLE

APPLICANT:

TVS MOTOR COMPANY LIMITED, an Indian Company at: “Chaitanya”, No.12 Khader Nawaz Khan Road, Nungambakkam, Chennai 600 006.

The following specification particularly describes the invention and the manner in which it is to be performed.

 
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present subject matter relates generally to electrical components assembly. More particularly but not exclusively, the present subject matter relates to electrical components assembly for electric vehicles.

BACKGROUND
[0002] With the advent of electrical vehicles, the electrical components in a vehicle have been constantly increasing which often leads to volume-space trade-offs in the vehicle manufacturing. Further, a greater number of vehicle electricals calls for more diagnostic provisions so that they can be verified in case of vehicle malfunctioning. Furthermore, due to fast charging capabilities, the size of the charging receptacles has been considerably increased.
[0003] Conventional attempts have resulted in some solutions for the above-mentioned problems. For e.g. by attaching the electrical components to one or more seat rails. With due course of time, the introduction of fast charging warrants use of multiple electrical components like electrical charging receptacles, relays which are considerably larger in size. Therefore, attaching these electrical components on the seat rails poses more difficulty in servicing as it reduces the storage volume in the storage compartment. Further, this increases the wiring harness length which connects the charging receptacles to the electrical components. This also occupies more space and requires passages for entry of the harness into the area around the seat rails. Further, long cables tend to flex which may interfere with surrounding subsystems. Therefore, a plurality of guiding means is known to be provided to guide and to restrict the flex of the cables. Additionally, due to space constraints, the designers tend to position the electronic/electrical components below the storage compartment without effecting the existing storage volume. However, this increases chances of exposure of electrical components to external environment factors like mud, splashed water, foreign particles. The exposure of external environment affects the durability of these electrical components. It has been observed that, the designers tend to provide dedicated covers to protect these electrical components from the external environment. This approach further increases the part count and reduces availability of space below the storage compartment and around other sub-systems like suspension system etc. The reduced space around subsystems may reduce the required engineering clearance which can affect its functioning. Further, the components may interfere with the rear wheel in full bump conditions on uneven roads.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0004] The invention therefore pertains to providing an electrical components assembly for a vehicle which accommodates relatively larger components without deviating from the standard vehicle design requirements and without substantially compromising on storage space. This will also ensure ease of accessibility and serviceability for the diagnostic parts of the vehicle.

Figure 4 illustrates a top view of the vehicle 100. Figure 1-4 have been taken together for discussion. The vehicle 100 has an electrical components assembly 200 comprising a support member 300 being mounted on a rear frame member 400R of the frame assembly 400. The rear frame member 400R is extended in a lateral direction of the vehicle 100. The rear frame member 400R is attached to a portion 400p (shown in Fig. 6a) of the frame assembly 400.The rear frame member 400R is configured to be detachably attached to the support member 300. The support member 300 is being mounted on the rear frame member 400R of the frame assembly 400 of the vehicle 100. In one embodiment of the invention, the rear frame member 400R is a cross member. The cross member 400R can be made of metal and be welded to the seat rails.
[00049] The embodiments shown in Figures 5a shows a side view of a cut section of the vehicle 100 with the electrical components assembly 200 and the storage box 500. Figure 5b shows the frame assembly 400 of the vehicle 100 (shown in Fig. 1). The Figures 5a and 5b have been taken together for discussion. The frame assembly 400 steering assembly has a head-pipe 400H being attached to a main tube 400M. The main tube 400M is being configured to extend vertically downwards to detachably connect with a pair of floor-tubes 400F. The floor-tubes 400F are further extended in upward and rearward direction of the vehicle 100 to form a pair of two seat rails 400sr. The seat rails 400sr receive the storage box 500 (shown in Fig. 2). The seat rails are connected to the rear frame member 400R in a lateral direction and are configured to support a seat of the vehicle 100. A plurality of electrical components 201 are supported by the support member 300 which is mounted on the rear frame member 400R.
[00050] The embodiment shown in Figure 6a illustrates a perspective view of the vehicle 100 with the electrical components assembly 200 installed on the vehicle 100 as per one embodiment of the invention. Figure 6b illustrates a side rear cut sectional view of the vehicle 100 cut across the plane X-X’ shown in Figure 1 according to one embodiment of the invention. In one embodiment, the plurality of electrical/ electronic components 201 includes a charger unit 201c. The charger unit 201c, when connected to the vehicle 100, is positioned perpendicular to the support member 300 when viewed in the side view of the vehicle 100. The charger unit 201c has one end connected to the electrical components assembly including a charging port whereas another end is connected to supply mains through a cable. The charger unit 201c is used to charge the vehicle 100 in an embodiment, where the vehicle 100 is an electric vehicle. This configuration also reduces the chances of the mud and water splashes that affect the durability of the plurality of electrical components 201 being situated at the rear part of the vehicle 100. In another embodiment, the vehicle 100 is configured to have a removable or swappable batteries, wherein the batteries can be taken out for charging.
[00051] The embodiment shown in Figure 7a illustrates a perspective view of the support member 300 of the electrical components assembly 200 of the vehicle 100 (shown in Fig. 1) having the plurality of electrical components 201 being mounted on the support member 300. The plurality of components 201 are shown to include two relay units 201r along with a single boot controller 201b being mounted to the support member 300. A pair of frame mounting openings 300fmp is used to attach the support member 300 to the rear frame member 400R (shown in Fig. 5b) of the frame assembly 400 (shown in Fig. 5b). Figure 7a also shows directional view “A”. Figure 7b illustrates the directional view of the support member 300 of the electrical components assembly 200 with a single relay unit 201r being mounted on the support member 300 along the direction A as shown in Figure 7a. In this directional view one relay unit 201r has been removed to show the boot control mounting 300mb on which the boot controller 201b (shown in Figures 8 and 11) is mounted.
[00052] Figure 8 illustrates an exploded view of the support member 300 of the electrical components assembly 200 of the vehicle 100 in one embodiment of the invention. The support member 300 includes a first portion 300P and a second portion 300Q. The support member 300 is substantially in L-shaped configuration. The support member 300 has a first portion 300P and the second portion 300Q are being configured in an L-shape. Upon installation, the first portion 300P faces upwards and the second portion 300Q is directed downwards in an inclined manner. (as also shown in Figure 6b). The support member 300 is detachably attached to the rear frame member 400R at the first portion 300P while the second portion 300Q is configured to support the plurality of electrical/ electronic components 201. This L-shaped configuration enables easy assembly and removal of the electrical components 201 on the support member 300 while ensuring stable and efficient mounting of the support member 300 on the rear frame member 400R. A plurality of mounting provisions 300M are used to mount the plurality of electrical components 201 on the support member as well as mounting of the support member 300 to the rear frame member 300. Importantly, only one mounting provision 300M is provided for one electronic/electrical component 201. This reduces the need for additional mounting provisions 300M required to arrest the rotation of the electrical component 201 as the support member 300 is configured to have stopper means 300stm. Further, elimination of one attachment means for mounting the electrical component 201 reduces the overall assembly time thereby reducing the overall cost of the vehicle. The plurality of mounting provisions 300M includes openings, slots 300Ms and clips which have their respective application in mounting, attaching, guiding and supporting the plurality of electrical components 201. The plurality of mounting provisions 300M includes relay mounting opening 300Mr for mounting the relay units 201r on the support member 300. Further the plurality of stopper means 300stm are provided which are configured to arrest a movement of the plurality of electrical components 201 in order to ensure rigid orientation of the plurality of electrical components 201. For example, in one aspect of the invention, the electrical components 201 can be relay switches 201r which may be installed on the support member 300 in a relay mounting opening 300Mr. However, the relay switches 201r may rotate at its position due to shocks or jerks when the vehicle 100 travels on an uneven road. The stopper means 300stm therefore arrests the rotation or any other movement of the electrical components 201. The plurality of stopper means 300stm include fasteners, raised portions, fixed arresters and beads to arrest the plurality of electrical components 201 that ensures the proper functioning of the plurality of electrical components 201. The second portion 300Q of the support member 300 is configured to include the plurality of mounting provisions 300M that includes one or more slots 300Ms. The slots 300Ms are adapted to receive the guide clips. The slots 300Ms provided near the electrical components 201 reduces the wirelength as no dedicated means are now required to be provided to support or guide the wires.
[00053] Figure 9 illustrates a top view of the support member 300 of the electrical component assembly 200 (shown in Fig. 4) of the vehicle 100 (shown in Fig. 1). The relay mounting opening 300Mr is laterally offset by a predefined distance H from the frame mounting opening 300fmp in a top view of the vehicle 100 as seen in Figure 9. This distance H ensures that the relay mounting opening 300Mr is lying within the frame mounting opening 300fmp which increases the lateral and torsional stiffness of the electrical components assembly 200 (shown in Fig. 4) of the vehicle 100.
[00054] The embodiment shown in Figure 10 illustrates a bottom view of the support member 300. The support member 300 includes a plurality of protrusions (A1, A2, B1, B2) which are extended from the frame mounting opening 300fmp on a rear surface 300rs of the support member 300. These protrusions (A1, A2, B1 and B2) are provided in such a manner that the relay mounting opening 300Mr lies within an area defined by the plurality of protrusions (A1, A2, B1, B2). The plurality of protrusions (A1, A2, B1, B2) thus enhances load distribution and reduces the vibration load acting on the electrical components assembly 200 (shown in Fig. 4).
[00055] Figure 11 illustrates a side or lateral view of the vehicle 100 in one embodiment of the invention. The support member 300 is positioned perpendicular to an axis CA of the charger unit 201c. The support member 300 is being attached to the rear frame member 400R at a predetermined angle with respect to a vertical plane in the vehicle side view such that an imaginary line L extending from a portion of the support member 300 intersects an axis SA of a rear shock absorber 100rs at a point of intersection P. The point of intersection P lies on a periphery of one of the seat rails 400sr of the frame assembly 400 (shown in Fig. 5b). The close proximate placement configuration of the plurality of electrical components 201 reduces the wiring harness length, thereby offers less resistance.
[00056] Therefore, the electrical components assembly 200 provides a compact and effective mounting of electrical components 201 of the vehicle 100 by virtue of the support member 300. Due to the unique features of the present invention, the same allows for mounting of the components 201 away from the seat rails 400sr and on a rear frame member 400R. This avoids mounting of the electrical components on the seat rails and any change thereto or the frame. Mounting of the electrical assembly 200 on the seat rails 400sr would eat into the space of the storage box 500. Thus, the present invention saves the utility space of the storage box 500 while improving the mounting of the electrical components 201 in a compact manner. Further, other embodiments, like the L-shape of the support member 300 allows for little to no modification of the existing storage box 500 of the vehicle 100. The L-shaped configuration of the support member 300 allows for easy assembly and removal of the electrical components 201.
