BATTERY MOUNTING BRACKET FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE BATTERY BOX - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240025273 titled 'BATTERY MOUNTING BRACKET FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE BATTERY BOX

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for a battery box designed for hybrid or electric vehicles. The battery box consists of two longitudinal walls, two lateral walls, and a floor that together create an interior compartment for holding batteries. The battery box includes a mounting bracket with a raised base, an upright segment, and a curved transition segment. The raised base is partially elevated above the floor and has a peripheral rim attached to the floor through spot welds. The mounting bracket also features one or more depressions that extend continuously from the raised base, across the transition segment, and at least partially along the upright segment. These depressions are designed to be spot welded to the floor and one of the longitudinal walls.

  • The patent application is for a battery box specifically designed for hybrid or electric vehicles.
  • The battery box is composed of longitudinal and lateral walls, along with a floor, creating an interior compartment for holding batteries.
  • A mounting bracket is included in the battery box, featuring a raised base, an upright segment, and a curved transition segment.
  • The raised base of the mounting bracket is elevated above the floor and has a peripheral rim attached to the floor through spot welds.
  • The mounting bracket also includes depressions that extend continuously from the raised base, across the transition segment, and partially along the upright segment.
  • These depressions are designed to be spot welded to the floor and one of the longitudinal walls.

Potential Applications:

  • Hybrid vehicles
  • Electric vehicles

Problems Solved:

  • Provides a secure and efficient battery box for hybrid or electric vehicles.
  • Ensures proper placement and attachment of batteries within the battery box.
  • Enhances the structural integrity and stability of the battery box.

Benefits:

  • Improved safety and protection for batteries in hybrid or electric vehicles.
  • Simplified installation and maintenance of batteries.
  • Enhanced durability and reliability of the battery box.


Original Abstract Submitted

a battery box for a hybrid or electric vehicle, the battery box including two longitudinal walls and two lateral walls that cooperate with a floor to define an interior compartment of the battery box for holding batteries. the battery box includes a mounting bracket that has a raised base, an upright segment, and a curved transition segment extending from the raised base to the upright segment. a portion of the raised base is spaced above the floor and the raised base includes a peripheral rim that is attached to the floor by spot welds. the mounting bracket includes one or more depressions that extend in a continuous manner from the raised base, across the transition segment of the mounting bracket, and across at least a portion of the upright segment. the depression(s) are designed to be spot welded to the floor and one of the longitudinal walls.
