FRONT FRAME STRUCTURE FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18429897 titled 'FRONT FRAME STRUCTURE FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE

The front frame structure for an electric vehicle described in the patent application includes a front side frame with a wall-shaped portion and an arm-shaped portion, as well as a sub-frame joined to the bottom portion of the wall-shaped portion and the front end portion of the arm-shaped portion.

The front side frame has a wall shape with a dimension in a height direction from the bottom portion to the upper portion of a motor room.
The arm-shaped portion protrudes from the upper portion of the front end portion of the wall-shaped portion.
The sub-frame has an annular opening between the sub-frame and the arm-shaped portion.
The inner peripheral surface of the annular opening includes a first inclined surface on the bottom surface of a rear portion of the arm-shaped portion and a second inclined surface on the upper surface of a front portion of the sub-frame.
The first and second inclined surfaces are inclined forward at elevation angles equal to each other.

Potential Applications: - Electric vehicle manufacturing - Automotive engineering - Vehicle frame design

Problems Solved: - Providing structural support for the front end of an electric vehicle - Ensuring stability and durability of the front frame structure

Benefits: - Improved safety and stability of the vehicle - Enhanced structural integrity - Efficient use of space in the motor room

Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized in the production of electric vehicles by automotive manufacturers, leading to safer and more reliable vehicles in the market.

Questions about the front frame structure for an electric vehicle: 1. How does the design of the front frame structure contribute to the overall safety of the electric vehicle? 2. What are the key differences between this front frame structure and traditional front frame designs in vehicles?

Frequently Updated Research: Research on lightweight materials and advanced manufacturing techniques for vehicle frames may impact the development of front frame structures for electric vehicles.

Original Abstract Submitted

A front frame structure for an electric vehicle includes a front side frame having a wall-shaped portion having a wall shape with a dimension in a height direction from a bottom portion to an upper portion of a motor room, and an arm-shaped portion protruding from an upper portion of a front end portion of the wall-shaped portion; and a sub-frame joined to a bottom portion of the wall-shaped portion and a front end portion of the arm-shaped portion and having an annular opening between the sub-frame and the arm-shaped portion. An inner peripheral surface of the annular opening includes a first inclined surface disposed on a bottom surface of a rear portion of the arm-shaped portion and a second inclined surface disposed on an upper surface of a front portion of the sub-frame. The first and second inclined surfaces are inclined forward at elevation angles equal to each other.
