The proposed Hydraulic leg guard system (HLS) with its components is shown in Figure 01. It consists of a leg guard frame (101) on which two Hydraulic pistons (102) and a spring piston (103) will be mounted. The function of the Hydraulic piston (102) will be to extend as per the rider’s need and will be connected to the cruise control system and the Sensor (106) as the spring piston (103) will be connected. Spring piston (103) will only be connected to the impact Sensor (106) and work only in case of hard collision or impact. To control all these mechanisms there will be a control unit in which the circuit system (107) will be placed and also the necessary parts like the Pump (109) will pressurize the fluid from the Reservoir (105) to the piston and vice-versa. Reservoir (105) will store the necessary amount of fluid for the functioning of the hydraulic Pump (109). For transportation of the fluid from the Reservoir (105) to the Pump (109) and from the Pump (109) to the Hydraulic piston (102), we need a medium that is Pipe (104).
To control the movement of the Hydraulic piston (102) there will be a switch that will help to adjust the length of the Hydraulic piston (102). After collision to reduce the friction between the ground and the bike, we will use a Roller (108) at the edge of the piston which will come in contact with the ground before any other part of the bike.
i. FRAME (101): The frame is the outer structure that provides support for the entire body and serves as the basic unit of the whole system. It comprises a hydraulic system (102) and the central processing unit (107) responsible for controlling both manual and sensor-controlled movements of the hydraulic cylinders.
ii. HYDRAULIC PISTON (102): A hydraulic piston is a component of a machine's hydraulic system. It functions as a hydraulic actuator, converting hydraulic energy into mechanical movement to create linear motion. In this system, the hydraulic piston will be manually operated by the rider to extend or retract the leg guard as needed.
iii. SPRING PISTON (103): The spring piston will be positioned alongside the hydraulic cylinders and at the rear of the bike chassis, near the taillight. It consists of a cylinder with a piston fitted with a compressed spring. Upon sensing an impact, the piston will immediately extend, locking into place at its full length with the assistance of a clip. This feature serves as a life-saving mechanism for the rider during accidents and aids in lifting the bike afterward.
iv. PIPE (104): Pipes serve as conduits in the system, transporting fluid from the reservoir to the cylinders and back.
v. RESERVOIR (105): The reservoir stores the oil required for optimal hydraulic function and supplies fluid as needed.
vi. SENSOR (106): The sensor, preferably a collision sensor, plays a crucial role in the Hydraulic Leg Guard System (HLS). It detects collisions or impacts and activates the spring piston through the circuit system to extend fully, protecting the rider from severe impacts.
vii. CIRCUIT SYSTEM (107): The circuit system is directly linked to the bike's main control unit (CU). It governs the sensor, both manually and automatically, and incorporates key components of the Hydraulic Leg Guard System (HLS).
viii. ROLLER (108): Rollers are detachable components of the HLS. Positioned on the outer part of the leg guard rod facing the ground, they ensure smooth movement of the bike during accidents, reducing friction between the bike and the ground to prevent damage to the piston or injury to the rider.
ix. PUMP (109): The pump is an essential element of the HLS, facilitating the movement of fluid between the reservoir and the hydraulic components.
x. SWITCH (110): The switch enables manual control of the hydraulic piston, allowing the rider to extend or retract it as needed.
