Sliding Door Mounting Reinforcement Structure and Vehicle Body Provided with the Same - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17859209 titled 'Sliding Door Mounting Reinforcement Structure and Vehicle Body Provided with the Same
Simplified Explanation
The embodiment sliding door mounting reinforcement structure is designed to strengthen the mounting of a sliding door on a vehicle body. It consists of two main components: the sliding door lower reinforcement and the center floor cross unit.
- The sliding door lower reinforcement is mounted on the side of the vehicle body along its length. It includes a guide rail that helps in guiding the movement of the sliding door.
- The center floor cross unit is mounted in the width direction of the vehicle body.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Automotive industry: This innovation can be used in the manufacturing of vehicles, specifically those with sliding doors, such as vans or minivans.
- Transportation sector: The sliding door mounting reinforcement structure can be applied to buses or other public transportation vehicles that have sliding doors.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Weak door mounting: The sliding door lower reinforcement and the center floor cross unit combine to provide a stronger and more secure mounting for sliding doors, reducing the risk of door failure or damage.
- Improved door movement: The guide rail in the sliding door lower reinforcement ensures smooth and controlled movement of the sliding door, enhancing user experience and safety.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced durability: The reinforcement structure improves the overall strength and stability of the sliding door mounting, increasing its lifespan and resistance to wear and tear.
- Improved safety: The secure mounting and guided movement of the sliding door reduce the chances of accidents or injuries caused by door malfunction.
- Simplified installation: The combination of the sliding door lower reinforcement and the center floor cross unit simplifies the installation process, potentially reducing manufacturing time and costs.
