Description:SYSTEM TO MANAGE A THREE WHEELED VEHICLE
Field of the Invention
[0001] The present invention relates to a three wheeled vehicle. More specifically, the present invention relates to a design of self-tiltable trike vehicle.
Background
[0002] The background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Trikes have been steadily increasing in popularity in recent times as they provide open air, wind in your face thrills of riding a motorcycle while also offering increased stability and comfort as a result of having three wheels. Because trikes may have a single front wheel, they typically employ steering and suspension systems found in motorcycles. Motorcycles are turned by both turning the handlebars and leaning into the turn. At high speeds, motorcycles can be turned simply by leaning into the turn. The ability to lean into the turn makes the motorcycle easier to handle in the turns.
[0004] However, when motorcycles are converted into three-wheeled trikes, this ability to lean into the turn is lost. This makes it difficult to handle the trike when turning, particularly at high speeds. One problem associated with modern trikes is keeping the trike frame at the correct angle relative to the surface upon which the trike rests. It is important to maintain the trike frame at the correct angle relative to the surface upon which the trike rests in order to optimize the handling characteristics and ride comfort of the trike. This problem arises especially when drivers of different weights occupy the front seat, or when a passenger climbs into the rear seat. Although front-to-rear leveling arrangements have been taught within the art for conventional two-wheel motorcycles, Applicant is not aware of the existence of any such systems which are usable on trikes. Thus, it would be desirable to provide an automatically adjustable rear suspension for trike which maintains the trike frame at the correct angle relative to the surface upon which the trike rests.
[0005] Another problem associated with currently available trikes is a phenomenon known as pushback. Pushback is the reaction of the motorcycle steering wheel to bumps which the rear wheels see. For example, if the left rear wheel hits a bump, then the front wheel will tend to veer right due to pushback. Conversely, if the right rear wheel hits a bump, then the front wheel will tend to veer left. Thus, it would be desirable to provide an automatically adjustable rear suspension for trike which minimizes pushback. The fork front suspension systems of the prior art also suffer a serious disadvantage. The effective wheelbase of the motorbike continually changes. For example, when the motorbike travels over a bump, the front wheel moves up and back relative to the frame, and the wheelbase is shortened, which means less stability at speed.
[0006] Another consequence of typical steering and suspension systems is tire wear. Typical motorcycle and trike front wheels are designed to provide braking and turning functionality and are shaped to provide these features. For example, front tires have triangular shapes to assist in turning. Because front tires are not relied upon during acceleration, they also have a thinner tread compared to rear tires. As a result, they tend to wear down easily.
[0007] Thus, a need has long existed for even further improved steering and suspension systems and methods for trikes.
[0008] Henceforth, in course of assessment of the prior and existent art, a system is proposed to control and manage a three wheeled vehicle. The proposed system emphasizes the motive of a trike and hence incorporates a plurality embodiments and a suitable paradigm of arrangement of these embodiments, exclusively of the prior art. However, the proposed system can be subjected to limitation such as associated with a load carrying capacity, attritional wear and tear, number of arranged gears, and the like. The proposed system promises to ameliorate the functioning through a further course of research and development. The proposed system is flexible in its architecture and open to one or more modification and updates, as and when necessary, in order to expand the ambit of application beyond the limitations of the present invention

During a motion of the three-wheel vehicle, may encounter road bumps or jerks and thus can be strengthened or reinforced by an employment of the strengthening member 104 which can endure and maintain a structural or an architectural integrity of the three-wheel vehicle 100 and the three-wheel vehicle, in accordance with the embodiments of present disclosure.
[00045] In an embodiment, a pivot unit may comprise a first pivot 106a, a second pivot 106b, a third pivot 106c and other known elements thereof. The first pivot 106a may be mounted on the strengthening member 104 relative to the second pivot 106b which can be mounted on the strengthening member 104, space apart from the first pivot 106a. For instance, a space between the first pivot 106a relative to the second pivot 106b may be 1cm or 2 cm or 3cm, or 4cm, preferably in a range of 2-3cms. Further, the third pivot 106c may be mounted on the first segment 102a. The term “pivot” as used herein, and throughout the present disclosure, may implicate, but not limited to a joint or an arrangement which can be enabled to rotate on an exemplary axis. For instance, the term “pivot” may include non-limiting example such as a pin, a point or a miniature shaft about which one or more functional element of the three-wheel vehicle 100 may rotate or oscillate and render flexibility and compatibility in the implementation of the three-wheel vehicle 100.
[00046] In an embodiment, the titling assembly may comprise a first pair of “T” shaped tilting arms 108a and a second pair of tilting arms 108b (throughout can be referred as second pair of tilting plate 108b). Each of the “T” shaped titling arm 108a may comprise a first section, a second section and a third section. The first section may be arranged relatively linear (such as at an angle approximate to 1800) to the second section (such as a free end of both the first section and the second section may be facing in an opposite direction, relative to adjoining end, may be indicative of a “T” shape). Similarly, the third section, may extend perpendicularly (may be approximate to 900) from the first section and the second section, wherein the third section can be pivotally engaged with the first segment 102a through the third pivot 106c. The third section may comprise a bore (may refer to, but not limited to a hollow portion or a passage and other known relevant examples thereof).

For instance, the bore arranged with the third section of the first pair of “T” shaped tilting arms 108a may be aligned with the through hole of the body associated with the second pair of tilting arms 108b. An alignment of the through hole and the bore (such as co-centric in nature) may enable a reception of a pivot, can be arranged to functionally interlink or join the first pair of “T” shaped tilting arms 108a and the second pair of tilting arms 108b.
[00048] Referring to the preceding embodiment, the titling assembly may be arranged to enable an automatic tilt (a lean of the three-wheel vehicle). For instance, the titling assembly may allow a leaning of the three-wheel vehicle in one or more notional direction. A degree of tilt or tilt angle (such as 50, 100, 200, 300, 500 and the like) may prevent the three-wheeled vehicle from falling over and allow for a safe angle of tilt at one or more speed. The tilt angle may be influenced by a speed of the three wheel vehicle (such as the tilt angle may increase with an increase in the speed). The titling assembly may comprise a pin to transform between a first position (such as non-tilted or a normal position) to a second position (such as a tilted or adaptive position). The pin may be arranged to pass through the bore and the through hole to disable a movement of the left wheel and the right wheel in longitudinally extending axis. Thus, selective activation (through pin) of tilting assembly can enable smooth operation of trike 100 on various surface such as smooth road, inclined road, uneven road etc.

For instance, a steering of a three-wheel vehicle at a high speed, such as above a certain threshold, (non-limiting beyond 30-90 km/h), an angle and a torque of a steering wheel can be interpreted as intention to lean. When a driver/user of the three-wheel vehicle may turn at high speed (such as by turning a steering wheel), a counter-steering may be used to initiate a tilt corresponding with a speed of the vehicle, yaw, roll and a cross acceleration. In an alternate embodiment, a possible exception can be an evasive manoeuvre at a lower speed, where an inclination or the tilt may maintain the three wheel vehicle stability.

In addition, the right wheel and the left wheel of the three wheel vehicle (can be associated with the front wheel assembly 110) may be configured to move up into a cavity within a body of the three wheel vehicle, such as when the three wheel may encounter a turn.
[00067] In some embodiments, a rollover threshold may be associated with a movement of the three wheel vehicle. The rollover threshold may depend upon a height of a center of gravity (CG) and a maximum lateral force that can be transferred by a tire of either the right wheel or the left wheel . For instance, a tire can develop a coefficient of friction of up to 0.8, which can indicate that the three wheel vehicle can negotiate one or more turns that produce a lateral force equivalent to 80% of the weight may be associated with the three wheel vehicle, before the tires lose a grip (such as tires may skid and capsize the three wheel vehicle). A height of the CG with respect to an effective average tread of the three wheel vehicle may determine the length-height ratio (L / H) that can establish the lateral force required to overturn the vehicle. As long as a lateral resistance capacity of the tires can be less than the lateral force required to overturn, the three wheel vehicle may slide before overturning or prevent the capsize thereof.
