Vehicle Rear Body Structure - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17947378 titled 'Vehicle Rear Body Structure
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an embodiment vehicle rear body structure that includes a partition panel, a first mount assembly, and a second mount assembly.
- The partition panel is connected to a boundary point between the vehicle body intermediate portion and the vehicle body rear portion.
- The first mount assembly is connected to the partition panel and is designed to support a hydrogen tank.
- The second mount assembly is connected to a rear cross member in the vehicle body rear portion and is designed to support the hydrogen tank at a lower position than the first mount assembly.
Potential applications of this technology:
- This vehicle rear body structure can be used in hydrogen-powered vehicles where a hydrogen tank needs to be securely mounted in the rear portion of the vehicle.
- It can be applied in various types of vehicles, such as cars, trucks, or buses, that utilize hydrogen as a fuel source.
Problems solved by this technology:
- The structure provides a secure and stable mounting solution for a hydrogen tank in the rear portion of the vehicle, ensuring its safety during operation and preventing any potential damage or accidents.
- By utilizing a partition panel and two mount assemblies, the structure effectively distributes the weight of the hydrogen tank and minimizes any potential impact on the vehicle's balance and stability.
Benefits of this technology:
- The structure allows for efficient utilization of space in the vehicle's rear portion, ensuring that the hydrogen tank is mounted securely without occupying excessive space.
- By supporting the hydrogen tank at a lower position, the structure helps to lower the vehicle's center of gravity, improving its overall stability and handling.
- The secure mounting of the hydrogen tank ensures the safe storage and transportation of hydrogen fuel, contributing to the overall safety of the vehicle and its occupants.
