` AUTOMATIC TWO WHEELER
SEMINAR REPORT CENTRE STAND

1.INTRODUCTION
Most modern bikes come with both a side stand and a centre stand. The side stand is easily

deployed allowing the bikes to lean to the left side. The bikes must be hoisted up onto the center

stand. The difficulties faces with these stands need to be stepped upon and the vehicle needs to be

lifted manually. Unless on firm, leveled ground, the side stand on a bikes or any bike cannot be

trusted whose wheels cannot be locked in place by setting a brake leaving it in gear. In this paper, an

automated centre stand is design and development which uses a linear actuator powered by a battery

to lower the stand and lift the vehicle and parks it on the stand. This stand minimizes human e orts to

almost zero. In addition, the self balancing mechanism was firmly established which lifts the bikes

upright on uneven surfaces. As a result, it has become possible to install this automated centre stand

in mass production bikes.

A center stand is a device on a bicycle or motorcycle that allows the bike to be kept upright

without leaning against another object or the aid of a person. A center stand is usually a made of

metal that comes down from the frame and makes contact with the ground. It is generally located in

the middle of the bike or towards the rear. Modification in our project of automated center stand is

use of mechanical actuator for operating center stand by connecting battery and switches. Now a days

placing a center stand while parking on the uneven road is di cult and risky. To overcome this

problem we are using some mechanical arrangement which can adjust automatically according to the

road surface and the whole system is actuated by mechanical actuator operating through switches.

1.1 ADVANTAGE OF CENTER STAND OVER SIDE STAND

The side stand although easy makes the bike rest on three points of contacts namely: The Front
and rear wheel and the stand. The Front and rear wheel experience almost equal amount of force of
the bike`s Weight but the side stand experiences a greater force. The bike is however tilted in this
position makes it difficult to do some repair or inspection work on the tilted side. On the central stand
the bike entirely lays on the stand and just touches either of front or rear tyre with almost no force.
Using a side stand would make the load acting on bearings and other pivotal points in an angular
manner that it might cause slight misalignment in long term use which might
affect the performance of bike. When we are filling air in our tyres we cannot check it by
hand as in bicycle tyres. We need proper pressure gauge. But using pressure gauge will provide
different results when the bike tyre is in side stand as contact pressure(remember
three point contact) along with air pressure will provide wrong reading. Using a center stand will put
almost zero force on tyres which will get accurate readings.

1.2 PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION

On surveying, it was found that around 72% males and 28% females drive scooters. Among
those 72% males, around 20% are oldies and remaining are adults. Mostly females and old people
find it difficult to apply centre stand and hence this made us develop and make it automated.
Moreover, applying a side stand;

1. Develops fatigue in stand.

2. Increases chances of accident.
3. Requires more parking spaces.
4. Reduces battery life since the electrolyte is in constant touch with electrode.

1.3 SOLUTION FOR ABOVE PROBLEMS

The automated center stand is fixed at the same location for that of the conventional stand. It has
two main parts; the lower unit and the upper unit. The upper unit is pivoted to the motorcycle frame
and the lower unit is joined to a curved surface for easy lifting. The linear actuator is powered by
automobile battery, controlled by toggle DPDT switch which changes the polarities of the supply.
The linear actuator is pivoted to the stand assembly which distributes load equally on both the limbs
of the stand.

2. LITERATURE REVIEW

1.Ankitkumar K. Shriwas et. Al. This writing shows ordinarily two segments are utilized for
standing the bike, side stand and focus stand. The two parts experience static stacking. Plan of both
side and focus stand is with the end goal that a huge pressure is created in it, which makes originator
select solid material as steel. Other plan issues in regards to with the inside stand is, its activity. To
work focus stand rider needs to get down from bicycle and needs to pull against the switch which is
troublesome at
some point. In present work, another plan of focus stand is proposed, which has similar less worry
than traditional focus remain just as it is anything but difficult to work. In present work, systematic
and FEM based examination is embraced for count reason and sand throwing is received for
assembling reason. First standing gadget is structured and afterward it is introduced to the cruiser.

2.Aakarsh B S et. al. This writing talks about the side stand is effortlessly sent permitting the bike to
shelter the left side. The errand of mounting bikes on the middle stand can be testing. To work focus
stand, rider needs to get down from bicycle and needs to pull against the switch which is troublesome
at some point. Rider needs to lift least half of weight of bike to draw in the inside stand. It turns out to
be progressively troublesome if there should a rise an occurrence of overwhelming bikes like the
Royal Enfield or if the rider is old. In this paper, a mechanized focus stand is structured and created
which utilizes a direct actuator fuelled by a battery to bring down the stand and lift the vehicle and
park it on the stand. This stand limits human endeavours to just about zero. Likewise, oneself
adjusting system was immovably settled which lifts the cruiser upstanding on lopsided surfaces.
Therefore, it has gotten conceivable to introduce this mechanized focus remain in large scale
manufacturing bike.

3.Karan Dutt et. al. This paper predominantly discusses PNEUMATICS working and segments. The
primary accentuation is given on its different segments' working and working. Pneumatics is an area
of innovation that manages the examination and utilization of pressurized gas to create mechanical
movement. Pneumatic frameworks are utilized broadly in industry, and processing plants are
generally plumbed with compacted air or packed dormant gases. This is on the grounds that a
midway found and electrically fuelled blower that powers chambers and other pneumatic gadgets
through solenoid valves can frequently give thought process power in a less expensive, more secure,
progressively adaptable, and more dependable route than an enormous number of electric engines and
actuators.

4.G. McLatchey et. al. This writing shows the supporting legs of legged robots structure some
portion of different shut kinematic chains in which opposing powers can represent an issue. In this
paper, strategies for consistence and power control are investigated to determine this. A 'settled circle'
topology of non-direct control for pneumatic chambers is sketched out and its presentation in real
usage is accounted for. The control circle was straightforward enough to be executed on low
preparing speed microcontrollers without
PWM (in a Bang-Bang style). Control input comprised of picking the ideal Control Mode, giving an
objective for that Control Mode and picking a Compliance Factor (somewhere in the range of 0 and
100%).

5.Ashish jyoti1 et. al. This writing examines most present day bicycles accompany both a side stand
and a middle stand. The side stand is effortlessly conveyed permitting the bicycles to shelter the left
side. The bicycles must be raised up onto the middle stand. The challenges face with these stands
should be ventured upon and the vehicle should be lifted physically. Except if on firm, levelled
ground, the side remain on a bicycle or any bicycle can't be believed whose wheels can't be secured
by setting a brake leaving it in gear. In this paper, a robotized focus stand is plan and advancement
which utilizes a straight actuator controlled by a battery to bring down the stand and lift the vehicle
and parks it on the stand. This stand limits human endeavours to very nearly zero. What's more,
oneself adjusting component was solidly.

6.US PATENT 3591202(Motor cycle ride-off stand)

This stand is fitted on the frame towards the front end of the vehicle. This type of center stand does
not elevate the rear wheel off the ground. Both the wheels remain in contact with the ground.
Although this stand offers reasonable side wise stability of a vehicle, forward movement of
the vehicle is unrestrained and therefore is not suitable for parking the vehicle in a gradient.

7.US PATENT 3658360(Motorcycle stand)

This stand consists of a pair of plates for attachment to the forward part of the frame of a motorcycle
providing a pair of bushings on the transverse axis through which bearings the cross-bar of a U-
shaped assembly is passed. This device is a typical center stand for a motorcycle and the leg unit
has to be pushed down to achieve ground contact and the vehicle pulled back to achieve a
stable parked condition.

8.US PATENT 4084656 (Motorcycle stand with safety switch)

The device prevents starting of the engine of a two-wheeled motorcycle even if the two-wheeled
motorcycle is brought to an upright position and an attempt is made to start the engine, unless the
stand is in an inoperative position. A stand switch is opened by the stand when the latter is in a
neutral position so that the ignition circuit for the engine cannot be rendered operative, thereby to
prevent actuation of the engine. When the stand is in either the inoperative position or the operative
position, the stand switch is closed to permit the engine to be started. A normally open manually-
operated switch shunts the stand switch and is capable of operating the ignition circuit regardless of
whether the stand switch is closed or open.

9.US PATENT 4580804 (Jack stand for motorcycles)

This device has retractable leg assemblies are used for raising the frame of a motorcycle from the
ground to permit servicing the motor cycle. Each leg assembly includes a pair of telescopically
engaged members having a cooperating pin and slot arrangement which enables them to
be extended and locked simply by extending and twisting the same. Latching
mechanisms are provided for release-ably retaining the leg assemblies in either the retracted position
for riding or the extended position for jacking. The motorcycle has to be rocked side to side for
extending the leg assemblies. This device enables stable positioning of the motorcycle even in
an uneven terrain but the effort required to rock the motorcycle is beyond the capacity of most of the
users.

10.US PATENT Application 2009/060468A2 (A Centre Stand for a Two Wheeled Vehicle)

3.1 COMPONENT SPECIFICATION

3.1.1 DC MOTOR

A DC motor is a class of rotary electrical machines that converts direct current electrical energy
into mechanical energy. Nearly all types of DC motors have some internal mechanism, either
electromechanical or electronic, to periodically change the direction of current flow in part of the
motor. A DC motor's speed can be controlled over a wide range, using either a variable supply
voltage or by changing the strength of current in its field windings. The most common type of motor
is a 12V DC motor. It is small and inexpensive, yet powerful enough to be used for many
applications. One characteristics of a 12V DC is the operating voltage.

3.1.2 SPUR GEAR

Spur gears or straight-cut gears are the simplest type of gear. They consist of a cylinder or disk
with teeth projecting radially. The teeth are mainly involute but less commonly cycloid. The edge of
each tooth is straight and aligned parallel to the axis of rotation. These gears mesh together correctly
only if fitted to parallel shafts. No axial thrust is created by the tooth loads. Spur gears are excellent at
moderate speeds but tend to be noisy at high speeds. Here we have used spur gear which has required
gear ratio to obtain the required rpm to drive rod. Gears are generally made from metallic materials to
have sufficient strength and properties. Here we have used 48 teeth and 12 teeth spur gear.

Fig 2: Spur Gear

3.1.3 LINEAR ACTUATOR HOUSING

Attaching a motor to an electric linear actuator requires an adaptor or housing. The mounting
hardware needed varies based on motor type and brand as well as on how the motor is to be mounted
either inline or reverse parallel. An inline configuration directly couples the motor’s driving shaft to
the actuator through housing. This configuration provides excellent motor support and allows
maximum power transmission from the motor to the actuator. We have used parallel housing.

3.1.4 KEY OPERATED SWITCH

A key switch (sometimes called a lock switch) is a switch that can be activated only by the use of a
key. They are usually used in situations where access needs to be restricted to the switch's functions.
Key operated switch is mainly used for security and safety purpose. It operates as that of a
conventional switch with rotary action. It can be activated only by using a key. Different types of key
switches are available on the bases of ampere rating. The main advantage of using key operated
switch instead of normal switch is to avoid accidental application of normal switch while riding the
vehicle. It also covers child safety and operation by unskilled users.

Fig 3: Key Switch

3.1.5 DPDT SWITCH

A switch is an electrical component that can "make" or "break" an electrical circuit, interrupting the
current or diverting it from one conductor to another. The mechanism of a switch removes or restores
the conducting path in a circuit when it is operated. DPDT stands for double pole double throw
switch. This is a dual ON/OFF switch consisting of two on position. It has six terminals, two are
input contacts and remaining four are the output contacts. Two input contacts are connected to one set
of output contacts in one position and in another position, input contacts are connected to the other
set of output contacts.

PROJECT REPORT CENTRE STAND

3.1.6 BATTERY

An electric battery is a device consisting of one or more electrochemical cells that convert stored
chemical energy into electrical energy. Each cell contains a positive terminal, or cathode, and a
negative terminal, or anode. Electrolytes allow ions to move between the electrodes and terminals,
which results in the current to flow out of the battery to perform work. Lead acid battery is used for
actuation of actuator. It is a rechargeable battery that supplies electrical current to a motor vehicle.
Modern SLI batteries are lead-acid type, using six series-connected cells to provide a nominal 12 volt
system.Despite having a very low energy-toweight ratio and a low energy-to-volume ratio, its ability
to supply high surge currents means that the cells have a relatively large power-to-weight ratio. These
features, along with their low cost, make them attractive for use in motor vehicles to provide the high
current. As they are inexpensive compared to newer technologies, lead–acid batteries are widely
used.

3.2 WORKING PRINCIPLE OF AUTOMATIC CENTRE STAND

1. The automatic centre stand in two wheelers work in a particular way that the user can put
the stand while sitting on the vehicle without stepping out of it.

2. The working is in such a way that, after stopping the vehicle, we press the switch that is
connected to run a gear motor at a particular rpm.

3. This motor is connected to gears and the gear is finally connected to another gear which is
attatched to the centre stand.

4. When the motor starts running, the gear rotates and the stand comes to the vertical position.

5. After that, two separate switches are placed on both the right and left handles of the vehicle.
After we press the switch,with the help of an actuator, a spiral gear will project outside from the
centre stand.

6. To maintain the stability of the vehicle in uneven surfaces, we press the left and right
buttons to project the spiral gear out of the stand. Once the spiral gear touches the ground, we
release the button to stop its working. Likewise, we repeat the same procedure in the other side
to maintain the level .

PROJECT REPORT CENTRE STAND

7. On reversing the direction of the switch, the actuator starts to displace in reverse direction.
Likewise we reverse the switch to lift up the stand and the motorcycle comes back to wheels

This is the method of automatic centre stand to park the vehicle in both even and uneven places

4. CONCLUSION

This project helps in reducing the painful task of applying the center stand (especially for ladies
and old person) and also reduces the parking constraint. The equipment would provide best
result just by actuating the center stand using
linear actuator operated by automobile battery. The project is very useful for heavy bikes, sports
bike etc since it improves the performance of bike. The linear actuator is connected to the
existing center stand assembly which distributes load equally on both the limbs of center
stand.The main advantage of this mechanism is reduction of human efforts and parking space
required compared to avehicle parked on side stand. It also includes safety
precautions.
