VEHICLE REAR SECTION STRUCTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240336303 titled 'VEHICLE REAR SECTION STRUCTURE
Simplified Explanation:
The rear side member of a vehicle is designed with a weaker first bead that causes deformation towards the inner side and lower side in the event of a rear collision.
- The rear side member has a first bead that is weaker than other parts.
- The first bead induces deformation towards the inner side and lower side during a rear collision.
- This design helps absorb collision impact and protect the vehicle structure.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Weaker first bead on the rear side member.
- Deformation towards the inner and lower sides during a rear collision.
- Enhanced protection and absorption of collision impact.
Potential Applications:
This technology can be applied in the automotive industry for improving vehicle safety during rear collisions.
Problems Solved:
This technology addresses the issue of structural damage and deformation during rear collisions, enhancing vehicle safety.
Benefits:
- Improved vehicle safety during rear collisions.
- Enhanced protection for passengers and vehicle structure.
- Reduced structural damage and repair costs.
Commercial Applications:
Title: Enhanced Vehicle Safety Technology for Rear Collisions
This technology can be utilized by automotive manufacturers to enhance the safety features of their vehicles, potentially increasing consumer confidence and market competitiveness.
Questions about Enhanced Vehicle Safety Technology for Rear Collisions:
1. How does the weaker first bead on the rear side member contribute to vehicle safety during rear collisions? 2. What are the potential cost-saving benefits for vehicle owners with this technology in place?
Original Abstract Submitted
a rear side member is provided with a first bead that is set so as to be weaker than other portions of the rear side member. the first bead is set so as to induce deformation of the rear side member toward a vehicle width direction inner side and toward a lower side when a collision load is input from a rear cross member at a time of a rear collision of a vehicle, and when the collision load is input from the rear cross member at the time of a rear collision of the vehicle, the rear side member is deformed toward the vehicle width direction inner side, and is deformed toward the lower side, with the first bead as a starting point.
