This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17903736 titled 'SLIDING DOOR DEVICE FOR VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a sliding door device for a vehicle that includes a door, a door arm, a mover, a door arm plate, a pin, and a cycloid rail.

  • The door is designed to open or close a door opening in a vehicle body.
  • The door arm is connected to the door and can move along a side sill of the vehicle body.
  • The mover is connected to the other end of the door arm and moves in a straight line along the side sill.
  • The door arm plate connects the mover to the other end of the door arm and can perform cycloid rotation and straight line movement.
  • The pin protrudes on the door arm plate.
  • The cycloid rail is provided in the side sill and provides a path for the roller to move when the other end of the door arm moves along the side sill.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Automotive industry: This sliding door device can be used in various types of vehicles, such as cars, vans, and buses, to provide a convenient and efficient way to open and close doors.
