==BATTERY-MOUNTED VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18512024 titled 'BATTERY-MOUNTED VEHICLE

'''Simplified Explanation''': 

This patent application describes a battery-mounted vehicle with a unique design that includes an expansion chamber between the battery pack and the vehicle body frame member.

* The battery pack is mounted at the lower side of the floor pan of the passenger compartment.
* A vertical wall of the vehicle body frame member faces the peripheral wall of the battery pack with a gap between them.
* An expansion chamber is created by either an inner side concave portion on the battery pack's peripheral wall or an outer side concave portion on the vehicle body frame member's vertical wall.
* The inner side concave portion is recessed towards the inner side of the battery pack in the vehicle horizontal direction, while the outer side concave portion is recessed towards the inner side of the vehicle body frame member.

'''Key Features and Innovation''':

* Battery pack mounted at the lower side of the passenger compartment floor pan.
* Vertical wall of the vehicle body frame member facing the peripheral wall of the battery pack with a gap between them.
* Expansion chamber created by inner side concave portion on the battery pack or outer side concave portion on the vehicle body frame member.
* Inner side concave portion recessed towards the inner side of the battery pack, while the outer side concave portion is recessed towards the inner side of the vehicle body frame member.

'''Potential Applications''':

This innovative design can be applied to various electric vehicles, enhancing battery pack safety and efficiency.

'''Problems Solved''':

This design addresses the need for efficient cooling and expansion space for battery packs in electric vehicles.

'''Benefits''':

* Improved battery pack safety and efficiency.
* Enhanced cooling for the battery pack.
* Optimal use of space within the vehicle.

'''Commercial Applications''':

This technology can be utilized in the production of electric vehicles, particularly in the design and placement of battery packs for optimal performance.

'''Prior Art''''':

Readers can explore prior patents related to battery pack mounting and cooling systems in electric vehicles to understand the evolution of this technology.

'''Frequently Updated Research''':

Stay updated on the latest advancements in battery pack design and cooling systems for electric vehicles to ensure the most efficient and safe solutions are implemented.

'''Questions about Battery-Mounted Vehicles''':
1. How does the placement of the battery pack impact the overall performance of the vehicle?
2. What are the key considerations when designing an expansion chamber for battery packs in electric vehicles?


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A battery-mounted vehicle includes a battery pack mounted at a vehicle lower side of a floor pan of a passenger compartment; a vehicle body frame member having a vertical wall that faces a peripheral wall of the battery pack in a vehicle horizontal direction with a gap therebetween; and an expansion chamber configured by at least one of an inner side concave portion that is formed at the peripheral wall of the battery pack or an outer side concave portion formed at the vertical wall of the vehicle body frame member, in a cross-sectional view viewed in the vehicle horizontal direction. The inner side concave portion is recessed toward an inner side, in the vehicle horizontal direction, of the battery pack, and the outer side concave portion is formed so as to be recessed toward an inner side, in the vehicle horizontal direction, of vehicle body frame member.
