TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present subject matter described herein generally relates to a saddle ride type vehicle, and particularly but not exclusively relates to a diagnostic coupler system in a saddle type vehicle.

BACKGROUND

[0002] Vehicles, such as two-wheelers, light-duty cars, trucks etc, generally include on board diagnostic (OBD) systems provided by respective manufacturers.

[0003] OBD systems give the vehicle owner or repair technician access to the status of the various vehicle sub-systems. These diagnostic systems monitor various parameters that affect overall functioning of the vehicle and generate data for further processing. The amount of diagnostic information available via OBD has varied widely since its introduction in the early 1980s versions. Early versions of OBD would simply illuminate a malfunction indicator light or "idiot light" if a problem was detected but would not provide any information as to the nature of the problem. Modern OBD implementations use a standardized digital communications port to provide real-time data in addition to a standardized series of diagnostic trouble codes, or DTCs, which allow a person to rapidly identify and remedy malfunctions within the vehicle.

[0004] Typically, OBD systems feature a network of in-vehicle sensors that monitor the vehicle's electrical, mechanical, and emissions systems, and in response generate data that are processed by the vehicle's control unit. The data is used, for example, to detect malfunctions or deterioration in the vehicle's performance. Accordingly, the OBD systems include a standardized coupler which provides access to the data processed by the control unit.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[00013] In EFI (Electronic fuel injection) vehicles, where there is more number of sensors and, actuators are involved, the possibility of one of them getting failed is comparatively high as compared to non EFI vehicles. Thus, vehicles provided with EFI system require frequent diagnosis for correction of any faulty codes that may occur.

[00014] Typically, such data required for the diagnosis is stored in electronic control unit (ECU) of the vehicle, herein called as the “control unit”. In most of the vehicles, it is not always possible to access the control unit of the vehicle. In such a scenario, a control unit of the vehicle has to be communicated by a specialized means in order to detect and address a particular problem. Thus, in order to access the control unit’s information, an OBD (On Board Diagnostic) coupler, herein called as a “diagnostic coupler” is provided in vehicles.

[00015] The diagnostic coupler, for example, allows the service engineer to detect the source of the fault codes, for example, if wire of a sensor is cut, it could be detected, which allows the service engineer to replace the sensor or the faulty wiring. Likewise the diagnostic coupler can detect performance deterioration, for example, vehicle not moving beyond a certain speed, which requires attention to be given to the throttle position sensor. Since, it is not always possible and preferable to access ECU directly, which makes the positioning of the diagnostic coupler critical in the vehicle layout.

[00016] Conventionally, the diagnostic coupler is connected to a part side connector which is further connected to the vehicle wiring system. The vehicle wiring system allows data communication from the control unit to the diagnostic coupler. A conventional scan tool can be plugged into the diagnostic coupler to retrieve diagnostic data from the vehicle's control unit.

[00017] Usually, the diagnostic coupler is positioned near an engine of the vehicle or in a utility box present below the seat of the vehicle. In such cases the replacement and servicing of the diagnostic coupler requires disassembly of multiple parts of the vehicle to gain access. Therefore, ready accessibility of the diagnostic coupler during a repair process is a persistent concern among the vehicle owner or the repair technician.

[00018] In the mobile devices such as cell phones and tablets having especially designed mobile device applications that can easily access the data of the control unit, the data can be accessed by plugging a USB adaptor cable or a bluetooth adapter into the diagnostic coupler. Therefore, there is a need of an optimum positioning of the diagnostic coupler, for accessing the data of the control unit using such mobile devices.

[00019] Usually, in the known art, the diagnostic coupler is provided with a connector cap. The connector cap is necessary to keep the diagnostic coupler sealed. The connector cap protects the diagnostic coupler from damage and prevents contamination. As the connector cap is an extra part that is added to the diagnostic coupler, it adds to the overall costing of the whole diagnostic system. Along with it during the use of the diagnostic coupler, or the replacement and servicing of the diagnostic coupler, the connector cap is necessarily removed to access the diagnostic coupler. In many such instances, because of small size of the connector cap there is always a high chance of misplacement of the connector cap.

[00020] Moreover, the positioning of the diagnostic coupler should be such that it should prevent entry of contaminants for example, dust, moisture, water and pollutants. [00021] Along with it the diagnostic coupler in most of the cases is connected using a wire from the main wiring harness. As the diagnostic coupler is connected to the wiring harness with help of a wire, it constantly swings loosely and moves from one direction to another while the vehicle is in motion, thereby posing a constant threat of its interference with the other nearby components.

[00022] Moreover, to avoid constant dangling of the diagnostic coupler in many vehicles a dedicated guiding member is provided to the prevent dangling of the diagnostic coupler. As the dedicated guiding member is an extra part that is added to the diagnostic coupler to avoid any interference, it adds to the overall costing of the whole diagnostic system.

[00023] Hence, there is a need of a diagnostic coupler that is present at an easily accessible optimum location while being well protected from contaminants, without the need of extra parts such as the external cap and the guiding member. Along with it the diagnostic coupler should be optimally positioned, such the diagnostic coupler does not dangle and does not interfere with other nearby components.

[00024] The present subject matter has been devised in view of the above circumstances as well as solving other problems of known art.

[00025] In an embodiment of the present subject matter, the present subject matter relates to a diagnostic coupler in a saddle type vehicle.

[00026] As per an aspect of the present embodiment, the diagnostic coupler system comprises of a protruding portion, and a coupling portion.

[00027] As per another aspect of the present embodiment, the protruding portion of the diagnostic coupler system is fixedly attached to a first member.

[00028] As per an aspect of the present subject matter, a connecting wire is connected on one end with the coupling portion and the other end with a wiring harness.

[00029] As per another aspect of the present subject matter, the length of the connecting wire connected on one end with the coupling portion and the other end with a wiring harness is short as compared to conventional diagnostic coupler system. The short length of the connecting wire ensures that the diagnostic coupler does not dangle or moves from one direction to another while the vehicle is in motion. The shorter length of the connecting wire obliviates the need of an extra guiding member. [00030] As per another aspect of the present subject matter, the receiving of the coupling portion by the protruding portion arrests the movement of the diagnostic coupler system, such that the diagnostic coupler system is fixed to a location when not in use. This arresting of the diagnostic coupler system when not in use ensures that the diagnostic coupler does not dangle or interfere with other internal components placed nearby.

[00031] As per another aspect of the present subject matter, the diagnostic coupler is mounted to the first member such that the wiring harness can be easily and conveniently accessed.

[00032] As per another aspect of the present subject matter, the diagnostic coupler can be readily accessed without dissembling any part or without using any specific tool.

[00033] As per another aspect of the present subject matter, the attachment of the coupling portion with the protruding portion seals the diagnostic coupler system. This ensures the elimination of any extra sealing cap, which is conventionally required to seal the diagnostic coupler system.

[00034] As per another aspect of the present subject matter, the diagnostic coupler system is capable of being plugged to a conventional scan tool which can be used to retrieve diagnostic data from the vehicle's control unit.

[00035] In another embodiment of the present subject matter, the diagnostic coupler is placed in close vicinity to important internal components that needs to be diagnosed from time to time, for example, a controller unit, such that a separate wiring harness can be avoided.

[00036] In an alternative embodiment of the present subject matter, in cases where the control unit is enabled with bluetooth connectivity or any other known wireless connectivity, the diagnostic coupler is capable of being connected wirelessly to the service tool, for example, a mobile phone.

[00037] In yet another embodiment of the present subj ect matter, the first member is a frame assembly.

[00038] As per an aspect of the present embodiment, the protruding portion of the diagnostic coupler system which is fixedly attached to a first member, for example a frame assembly, is capable of being accessed by a provision. [00039] In another embodiment of the present subject matter, the first member is an enclosed space, for example a tool box.

[00040] As per an aspect of the present embodiment, the enclosed space ensures that the diagnostic coupler is not exposed to contaminants for example, dust, moisture, water and pollutants.

[00041] In another embodiment of the present subject matter, the first member is a cover enclosing the enclosed space.

[00042] As per an aspect of the present embodiment, the cover of the enclosed space is hingedly attached or attached by using a rack a pillion arrangement or a stepped gear motor arrangement or the like.

[00043] As per an aspect of the present embodiment, the coupling portion is capable of being detached from the protruding portion present on the cover of the enclosed space.

[00053] Fig. 2 illustrates a rear side view of an exemplary two-wheeled saddle type vehicle 100, in accordance with an embodiment of present subject matter. In the present embodiment of the two- wheeled saddle type vehicle 100, the rider seat 165 A is present hingedly above the auxiliary storage compartment 185. This enables ease of access to the battery (not shown) and the control unit (not shown) for maintenance. The rider seat 165 A is secured above the auxiliary storage compartment 185 by a lock assembly (not shown). Further, an enclosed space 180, for example a tool box 180 is disposed in the front portion of the auxiliary storage compartment 185 just above the floorboard 165. The auxiliary storage compartment 185 and the tool box 180 are secured by a closed environment with the aid of a casing 190. The front portion of the casing covering the front part of the auxiliary storage space 185 and the tool box 180 is herein called as a front casing 190A. The side portion of the casing covering the side part of the auxiliary storage space 185 and the tool box 180 on the left hand side of the vehicle 100 is herein called as a LH casing 190B.

[00054] The tool box 180 is provided with an accessible cover (not shown), which is a part of the front casing 190A. The cover of the tool box 180 makes the accessing of the tool box 180 or the like, from auxiliary storage compartment 185 during servicing, easy. A diagnostic coupler system 200 is disposed in the tool box 180 storage space.

[00055] Fig. 3 illustrates a front side view of an auxiliary storage compartment 185 of an exemplary two-wheeled saddle type vehicle 100, when viewed from right hand side of the vehicle 100, in accordance with an embodiment of present subject matter. In the present embodiment, the auxiliary storage compartment 185 comprises of an auxiliary storage space 315. The auxiliary storage space 315 is adapted to accommodate underlying internal components, for example, a battery (not shown), a control unit 310, and a tool box (not shown) or the like. The casing protecting the auxiliary storage space 315 rearwardly, is herein called as a rear casing 330, and the casing protecting the auxiliary storage space 315 downwardly, is herein called as a bottom casing 335. In a preferred embodiment, the battery (not shown) which is held by a battery holder 300 is disposed towards one of the lateral side of the auxiliary storage space 315 and the control unit 310 is disposed one of the other lateral side of the auxiliary storage space 315. This enables in balancing the centre of gravity (CG) of the vehicle, as the offset in CG is compensated by the battery position. The control unit 310 and the battery holder 300 are connected with each other and to different other parts of the vehicle 100, with help of a wiring harness 305. In addition, the bottom portion of the auxiliary storage space 315 is provided with the tool box 180 (shown in Fig. 2) which has an enclosed space, herein called as a tool box storage space 345. The tool box storage space 345 along with the necessary tools (not shown) required by the rider on day to day basis, also consists of a diagnostic coupler 200.

[00056] The diagnostic coupler 200 is capable of being mounted on a first member. In the present embodiment the first member is the tool box 180.

[00057] In a different embodiment, the diagnostic coupler 200 is capable of being mounted on the first member, for example, the cover enclosing the tool box 180. [00058] In another alternate embodiment, the diagnostic coupler 200 is capable of being mounted on the first member, for example, the frame assembly 105 (shown in Fig lb), which can be accessed through a provision (not shown) provided on the rear casing 330.

[00059] Further, the diagnostic coupler 200 comprises of a protruding portion 320, and a coupling portion 325. The protruding portion 320 is fixedly attached to the first member and the coupling portion 325 is detachably attached to the protruding portion 320.

[00060] In the present embodiment, the coupling portion 325 is attached on one end to the protruded portion 320 and on the other end to a connecting wire 340. The connecting wire 340 is connected on one end with the coupling portion 325 and the other end with the wiring harness 305.

[00061] Because of the proximity of the connecting wire 340 with the wiring harness 305 and the diagnostic coupler system 200, the connecting wire 340 is shorter in length as compared to the conventional arrangements. The short length of the connecting wire 340 ensures that the diagnostic coupler system 200 does not dangle or moves from one direction to another while the vehicle 100 is in motion. The shorter length of the connecting wire 340 also obliviates the need of an extra guiding member (not shown) which is often conventionally used.

[00062] Fig. 4 illustrates a perspective view of a diagnostic coupler system 200 of an exemplary two- wheeled saddle type vehicle 100, in accordance with an embodiment of present subject matter. In the present embodiment, the diagnostic coupler system 200 comprises of a protruding portion 320, and a coupling portion 325. The protruding portion 320 is embedded in the tool box 180 (shown in Fig. 2).

[00063] The connecting wire 340 is connected on one end with the coupling portion 325 and the other end with the wiring harness 305. The embedded nature of the protruding portion 320 in the tool box 180 (shown in Fig. 2) ensures arresting of the diagnostic coupler system 200. The fitment of the diagnostic coupler system 200 with the tool box 180 (shown in Fig. 2) is such that it stays in place and does not come out during vehicle running condition. Also the attachment of the coupling portion 325 with the protruding portion 320 seals the diagnostic coupler system 200, which allows the diagnostic coupler system 200 to be sealed without the need for any external connector cap. This ensures the elimination of any extra sealing cap, which is conventionally required to seal the diagnostic coupler system. Therefore, the need of any extra part to seal the diagnostic coupler system 200 is avoided.

[00064] The diagnostic coupler system 200 can be easily accessed by a service engineer by using a conventional scan tool (not shown). The scan tool can be connected with the coupling portion 325 of the diagnostic coupler, after detaching the coupling portion 325 from the protruding portion 320. This connection of the scan tool with the coupling portion 325 can be done both using a wireless medium for example, a bluetooth connectivity or by using a wire plug in. Post connecting with the coupling portion 235, the service engineer can retrieve diagnostic data from the vehicle's control unit 310 (shown in Fig. 3). The vehicle’s 100 wiring system 340 aids in the data communication from the control unit 310 (shown in Fig. 3) of the vehicle 100, to the diagnostic coupler system 200, which is further assessed by the service engineer by using the conventional scan tool .

[00065] Fig. 5 illustrates a left hand side view of the frame assembly 515 of an exemplary two- wheeled vehicle 500, in accordance with an embodiment of present subject matter. In the present embodiment, a battery holder 510 holds a battery 505 in position. The battery holder 510 and the battery 505 can be accessed by disassembling the left hand side cover (not shown) of the vehicle. In the present embodiment the diagnostic coupler system 600 is mounted on the frame assembly 515 near a battery holder 510. Even in this embodiment, the diagnostic coupler system is protected by the side covers (not shown) of the vehicle 100 and is easily accessible to the service engineer by disassembling of the side covers (not shown).

[00066] In an alternative embodiment of the present subject matter, using the same setup as depicted in Fig. 5, in cases where the control unit 310 is enabled with a bluetooth connectivity or any other known wireless connectivity, the diagnostic coupler system 600 is capable of being connected wirelessly to the service tool, for example, a mobile phone (not shown).

[00067] Fig. 6 illustrates an exploded view of a diagnostic coupler system 600 an exemplary two-wheeled vehicle 500 (shown in Fig. 5), in accordance with an embodiment of present subject matter. The diagnostic coupler system 600 of the present subject matter comprises of a protruding portion 320, and a coupling portion 325. The protruding portion 320 is mounted on the frame assembly 515 of vehicle, near the battery holder (510). The protruding portion 320 is fixedly attached to the frame assembly 515 and the coupling portion 325 is detachably attached to the protruding portion 320. The attachment of the coupling portion 325 with the protruding portion 320 ensures that the diagnostic coupler system 600 arrested at one location. This overall fitment of the diagnostic coupler system 600 with the frame assembly 515 is such that it stays in place and does not come out during vehicle running condition. And since the protruding portion 320 of the diagnostic coupler system 600 receives the coupling portion 325 of the diagnostic coupler system 600, the diagnostic coupler system 200 is automatically sealed without the need for any external connector cap. Therefore, the need of any extra part to seal the diagnostic coupler system is avoided. The connecting wire 340 is connected on one end with the coupling portion 325 and the other end with the wiring harness (not shown). Since both the coupling portion 325 and the wiring harness (not shown) in the present embodiment are in proximity, the length of the connecting wire 340 required to connect them is shorter as compared to conventional arrangements.

[00068] Both the length of the connecting wire 340 and the placement of the protruding portion 320 on the frame assembly 515, ensures that the diagnostic coupler system 600 does not dangle and thereby does not interfere with other internal components placed nearby. As a result of which, the errors received because of the connecting wire’s 340 interference with the nearby parts, while the diagnosis is being done using a service tool, is prevented. Thus, in the present embodiment also, the shorter connecting wire 340 eliminates the need for providing a dedicated guiding member to prevent dangling.

[00069] Since the battery holder (510) can be accessed by disassembling the left hand side cover (not shown) of the vehicle, thus the diagnostic coupler system 600 can be easily accessed by a service engineer and a conventional scan tool (not shown) can be plugged into the diagnostic coupler to retrieve diagnostic data from the vehicle's control unit 310 (not shown). The vehicle’s 500 wiring system allows data communication from the control unit (not shown) to the diagnostic coupler system 600, which is further assessed by the service engineer by using the conventional scan tool (not shown). [00070] Many modifications and variations of the present subject matter are possible in the light of above disclosure. Therefore, within the scope of claims of the present subject matter, the present disclosure may be practiced other than as specifically described.
