FLOOR STRUCTURE FOR VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240246616 titled 'FLOOR STRUCTURE FOR VEHICLE

The floor structure for a vehicle described in the patent application aims to reduce vibration in the floor panel through a simple design. The structure includes side sills, a floor tunnel, and a floor panel with a floor frame and transverse beads.

Side sills are located on the outer sides of the vehicle.
A floor tunnel runs parallel to the side sills on the inner side of the vehicle.
The floor panel sits between the side sills and the floor tunnel, featuring a floor frame and transverse beads.
Some transverse beads overlap with the floor frame, intersecting with it to enhance structural integrity.

Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for various vehicle models. - Transportation vehicles like buses and trucks. - Industrial machinery where vibration control is crucial.

Problems Solved: - Minimizing vibration in the floor panel. - Enhancing structural stability and durability. - Improving overall ride comfort for passengers.

Benefits: - Reduced noise and vibration levels inside the vehicle. - Increased longevity of the floor structure. - Enhanced driving experience for passengers.

Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Floor Structure for Vibration Control in Vehicles" This technology can be utilized in the automotive industry for passenger cars, commercial vehicles, and industrial machinery. It offers a competitive advantage by providing superior vibration control and structural stability, leading to enhanced comfort and durability for end-users.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the floor structure impact the overall performance of the vehicle? - The floor structure plays a crucial role in reducing vibration levels, improving ride comfort, and enhancing the structural integrity of the vehicle. 2. What are the potential cost implications of implementing this innovative floor structure in vehicles? - While initial implementation costs may vary, the long-term benefits of improved comfort and durability can outweigh the initial investment.

Original Abstract Submitted

a floor structure for a vehicle is capable of suppressing vibration of a floor panel with a simple structure. the floor structure for the vehicle includes: side sills, which are disposed on opposite outer sides of the vehicle in a vehicle width direction; a floor tunnel, which is disposed on an inner side in the vehicle width direction in parallel with the side sills; and a floor panel, which is disposed between the side sill and the floor tunnel, and includes a floor frame extending along a vehicle front-rear direction and multiple transverse beads extending along the vehicle width direction. at least a part of the transverse beads extends to a position overlapping with the floor frame and intersects with the floor frame.
