MUMBAI, India, Jan. 8 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511105076 A) filed by Vivekananda Global University, Jaipur, Rajasthan, on Oct. 30, 2025, for 'automated engine valve maintaining device.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Amit Kumar.
The application for the patent was published on Dec. 12, under issue no. 50/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "An automated engine valve maintaining device, comprising: i) a platform 101 configured to secure over a ground surface via multiple rod and installed with a multi-sectioned chamber 103 stored with multiple engine valves of an engine, wherein a touch interactive display panel 104 installed with said platform 101 access by a user to give input commands regarding maintaining of said engine valves; ii) an inbuilt microcontroller linked with said display panel 104 process said commands and actuates an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 105 installed with said chamber 103 and synced with a laser sensor integrated with said platform 101 to detect dimensions of said engine valves that said user desires to clean, wherein based on detected dimensions of said engine valves, said microcontroller actuates a first robotic arm 106 installed with said platform 101 to grip said valves and place said valves in a plurality of slots 107 installed with said platform 101 in sequential manner; iii) a motorized expandable pulley arrangement 108 installed with each of said slots 107 that are actuated by said microcontroller to expand/contract said slots 107 as per detected dimensions of said valves to secure said valves with slots 107, wherein upon securing of said valves, said microcontroller actuates multiple motorized grinding wheels 109 installed with said platform 101 via multiple robotic links 110 to grind said valves; iv) an electronic nozzle 112 installed with said platform 101 and paired with a container 111 stored with a cleaning solution via a conduit 113, wherein said microcontroller actuates a robotic gripper 114 installed with said platform 101 to grip said conduits 113 and place said nozzle over said secured valves in sequential manner, followed by actuation of said nozzle to dispense said cleaning solution over said valves in sequential manner; and v) a second robotic arm 115 installed with said body that is directed by said microcontroller to position a motorized brush 116 installed with said second robotic arm 115 upon auction of said nozzle, followed by actuation of said brush to scrub said valves in sequential manner in view of maintaining said valves in appropriate manner. 2) The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein an ultrasonic sensor installed with said platform 101 in synchronization with said imaging unit 105 to detect presence of cracks on said valves, and in case of detection, said microcontroller actuates a speaker 117 installed with said platform 101 to generate an audio notification to alert said user regarding detected cracks. 3) The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein a puppy dial gauge 118 installed with said platform 101 via a motorized gripper 119 that is directed by said microcontroller to determine surface finishing of said valves, and accordingly directs said grinding wheel to grind said valves. 4) The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein an omnidirectional wheel 120 is installed with each of said rod to move said platform 101 as per user's requirement. 5) The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein a battery is associated with said device for powering up electrical and electronically operated components associated with said device."
