Vehicle Floor System - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17749984 titled 'Vehicle Floor System
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an embodiment vehicle floor system that includes a floor, side longitudinal members, a structural transverse member, and a battery assembly.
- The floor system consists of a floor, side longitudinal members, a structural transverse member, and a battery assembly.
- The side longitudinal members are located on the side edges of the floor and extend in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.
- Each side longitudinal member contains a horizontal rib within it.
- The structural transverse member is positioned on the floor and extends in the transverse direction of the vehicle.
- The horizontal ribs in the side longitudinal members align with the structural transverse member in the transverse direction of the vehicle.
- A battery assembly is placed beneath the floor.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Electric vehicles: The battery assembly under the floor can be used to power electric vehicles, providing a more efficient and compact design.
- Vehicle stability: The structural transverse member and side longitudinal members enhance the overall stability and strength of the vehicle floor system.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Space optimization: Placing the battery assembly under the floor allows for better utilization of space within the vehicle, freeing up room for other components.
- Structural integrity: The inclusion of side longitudinal members and a structural transverse member improves the overall strength and rigidity of the vehicle floor system.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved efficiency: The compact design and optimized use of space contribute to increased efficiency in electric vehicles.
- Enhanced safety: The strengthened structural integrity of the vehicle floor system enhances the safety of the vehicle and its occupants.
Original Abstract Submitted
An embodiment vehicle floor system includes a floor, a pair of side longitudinal members disposed on side edges of the floor, respectively, wherein each side longitudinal member extends in a longitudinal direction of a vehicle and wherein each side longitudinal member includes a horizontal rib provided therein, a structural transverse member disposed on the floor and extending in a transverse direction of the vehicle, wherein the horizontal ribs are aligned with the structural transverse member in the transverse direction of the vehicle, and a battery assembly disposed under the floor.
