VEHICLE STRUCTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240199122 titled 'VEHICLE STRUCTURE
The abstract describes a vehicle structure with a joint member connecting various components of the vehicle.
- The joint member is connected to the a-pillar lower portion, side sill, and body front cross member.
- The a-pillar lower portion, side sill, and body front cross member all have closed cross-section structures.
- The a-pillar lower portion is in surface contact with the joint member at its lower end.
- The side sill is in surface contact with the joint member at its front end.
- The body front cross member is in surface contact with the joint member at its side end.
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for vehicle manufacturing - Structural engineering for other types of vehicles or machinery
Problems Solved: - Provides structural integrity and stability to the vehicle - Ensures proper alignment and connection of key components
Benefits: - Enhanced safety for vehicle occupants - Improved overall performance and durability of the vehicle
Commercial Applications: - Automotive manufacturers looking to enhance the structural design of their vehicles - Companies specializing in structural engineering for various applications
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this vehicle structure improve overall safety for occupants? 2. What are the specific advantages of using closed cross-section structures in the components of the vehicle structure?
Original Abstract Submitted
a vehicle structure includes a joint member having an upper side coupled to an a-pillar lower portion. the joint member has a rear coupled to a side sill and has a side coupled to a body front cross member. the a-pillar lower portion has a closed cross-section structure and has a lower end in surface contact with and coupled to the joint member. the side sill has a closed cross-section structure and has a front end in surface contact with and coupled to the joint member. the body front cross member has a closed cross-section structure and has a side end in surface contact with and coupled to the joint member.
