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 of a 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 applied to hydrogen-powered vehicles that require a secure and efficient mounting system for the hydrogen tank.
It can be used in various types of vehicles, such as cars, trucks, or buses, that utilize hydrogen as a fuel source.

Problems solved by this technology:

The partition panel helps to separate the vehicle body intermediate portion from the vehicle body rear portion, providing a clear boundary for mounting the hydrogen tank.
The first mount assembly and the second mount assembly ensure a stable and secure support system for the hydrogen tank, reducing the risk of damage or leakage.

Benefits of this technology:

By utilizing the partition panel and the two mount assemblies, the vehicle rear body structure provides a robust and reliable mounting solution for the hydrogen tank.
The lower position of the second mount assembly helps to lower the center of gravity of the hydrogen tank, improving the overall stability and handling of the vehicle.
This structure allows for efficient use of space and weight distribution, optimizing the vehicle's performance and fuel efficiency.
