Design, simulation, and analysis using 316 stainless-steel alloy based automatic protection guard for bike

Abstract

An automatic protection guard for bikes reduces the impact to the side panels, engine, and the rider's leg when the bike collides with the ground, which follows the reverse quick return mechanism. Include a tilt sensor to monitor the bike's lean angle to activate the system and a wave spring inside the hollow bars to absorb the impact. A tilt sensor will be installed and will set a lean angle to the system. When the bike crosses the calibrated lean angle, the system activates and releases the bars from the system installed onto the bike frame and will take the first contact with the ground surface. To match real-life situations, the time taken for the protection guards to move from initial position to extreme position has been calculated using solid Works motion analysis with an average time taken is 0.14 s, and to find the total deformation different loads and different spring constants have been applied using Ansys software the average deformation is 12 mm. The system helps the rider to ride the bike in a safe mode. The total design system is dynamic and varies with the bike segment but follows the same mechanism.
