Suspension Support Structure for Monocoque Vehicle - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18315154 titled 'Suspension Support Structure for Monocoque Vehicle
The shock absorber support structure for a monocoque vehicle is designed to enhance the vehicle's stability and performance.
- The structure includes a shock absorber housing positioned at the upper side of a front side member located at the front side of a dash panel.
- A mounting support member is connected to the lower side of the shock absorber mounting part of the housing and faces multiple dash cross members with the dash panel in between.
- Upper arm mounting brackets vertically link the mounting support member and the front side member, spaced apart in a forward/rearward direction.
- An upper side member is elongated in the forward/rearward direction, with its rear end attached to the front side of the mounting support member.
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for improving vehicle stability and performance. - Racing vehicles for better handling and control. - Off-road vehicles for enhanced shock absorption on rough terrains.
Problems Solved: - Increased stability and control of the vehicle. - Improved shock absorption for a smoother ride. - Enhanced structural integrity of the vehicle.
Benefits: - Better handling and maneuverability. - Reduced impact on rough terrains. - Increased overall safety and comfort for passengers.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Shock Absorber Support Structure for Vehicles" This technology can be utilized in various vehicle types, including sports cars, SUVs, and trucks, to improve their performance and safety on different terrains.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the shock absorber support structure impact the overall performance of a vehicle? - The structure enhances stability, control, and shock absorption, leading to improved performance and safety. 2. What are the key components of the shock absorber support structure, and how do they work together to achieve optimal results? - The components include the shock absorber housing, mounting support member, upper arm mounting brackets, and upper side member, all working in unison to enhance the vehicle's stability and performance.
Original Abstract Submitted
A shock absorber support structure for a monocoque vehicle includes a shock absorber housing disposed at an upper side of a front side member disposed at a front side of a dash panel, a mounting support member coupled to a lower side of a shock absorber mounting part of the shock absorber housing and coupled to face a plurality of dash cross members with the dash panel interposed therebetween, upper arm mounting brackets vertically connecting the mounting support member and the front side member and spaced apart from each other in a forward/rearward direction of a vehicle body, and an upper side member disposed at the upper side of the front side member and elongated in the forward/rearward direction of the vehicle body, the upper side member having a rear end coupled to a front side of the mounting support member.
