STIFFNESS IMPROVEMENT STRUCTURE OF VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17884741 titled 'STIFFNESS IMPROVEMENT STRUCTURE OF VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a structure that improves the stiffness of a vehicle body by reinforcing the towed portion of the vehicle body. This is achieved by adding transverse reinforcement frames and longitudinal reinforcement frames to the vehicle body.

  • The structure includes multiple transverse reinforcement frames that are parallel to the transverse frame of the vehicle and spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.
  • It also includes multiple longitudinal reinforcement frames that are parallel to the longitudinal frame of the vehicle and spaced apart from each other in the width direction of the vehicle.
  • The addition of these reinforcement frames enhances the stiffness of the towed portion of the vehicle body, which in turn improves the overall stiffness of the vehicle.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied to various types of vehicles, such as cars, trucks, and trailers.
  • It can be used in both commercial and personal vehicles.
  • The improved stiffness provided by this structure can enhance the vehicle's stability and handling, making it suitable for high-performance vehicles.

Problems Solved

  • The structure addresses the issue of insufficient stiffness in the towed portion of a vehicle body.
  • It solves the problem of reduced stability and handling that can occur due to inadequate stiffness.
  • By reinforcing the towed portion, it prevents excessive flexing and deformation of the vehicle body, ensuring better overall performance.

Benefits

  • Improved stiffness enhances the vehicle's stability and handling, leading to safer driving conditions.
  • The structure increases the overall strength and durability of the vehicle body.
  • It can potentially reduce the risk of structural damage or failure during towing or heavy load conditions.


Original Abstract Submitted

A stiffness improvement structure includes a plurality of transverse reinforcement frames formed in parallel to the transverse frame and provided with an interval from each other in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and a plurality of longitudinal reinforcement frames formed in parallel to the longitudinal frame and provided with an interval from each other in the width direction of the vehicle, and thus vehicle body stiffness is improved by reinforcing stiffness of a towed portion of a vehicle body being towed and which reinforces stiffness of the vehicle by being provided in a vehicle body including a transverse frame formed in a width direction of the vehicle and a longitudinal frame formed in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle,.
