Vehicle Center Frame Module - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17748867 titled 'Vehicle Center Frame Module
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a vehicle center frame module that consists of side sills and crossmembers. The side sills have a closed cross section and are joined together, while the crossmembers connect the side sills in a transverse direction of the vehicle. The module also includes a first crossmember and a second crossmember positioned behind the first one in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.
- The vehicle center frame module is designed to provide structural support and stability to the vehicle's frame.
- The closed cross section of the side sills helps to enhance the rigidity and strength of the module.
- The joining of the inboard side surface of the side sill outer and the outboard side surface of the side sill inner ensures a secure connection between the side sills.
- The arrangement of the crossmembers, with the second crossmember positioned behind the first one, helps to distribute the load and improve the overall strength of the module.
Potential Applications
- This technology can be applied in the automotive industry for the construction of vehicle frames.
- It can be used in various types of vehicles, including cars, trucks, and SUVs.
Problems Solved
- The vehicle center frame module solves the problem of providing structural support and stability to the vehicle's frame.
- It addresses the need for a strong and rigid frame that can withstand various loads and forces.
Benefits
- The closed cross section of the side sills enhances the overall strength and rigidity of the module, improving the safety and durability of the vehicle.
- The secure joining of the side sills ensures a robust connection, reducing the risk of structural failure.
- The arrangement of the crossmembers helps to distribute the load and improve the overall strength of the module, enhancing the vehicle's performance and handling.
Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicle center frame module includes a pair of side sills, each side sill including a side sill inner having a closed cross section and a side sill outer having a closed cross section, wherein an inboard side surface of the side sill outer and an outboard side surface of the side sill inner are joined, and a plurality of crossmembers connecting the pair of side sills in a transverse direction of a vehicle, the crossmembers including a first crossmember and a second crossmember disposed behind the first crossmember in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle.
