SUBFRAME STRUCTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18477134 titled 'SUBFRAME STRUCTURE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a patent application for a subframe structure in a vehicle that includes a steering rack mechanism and a subframe structure body with fixation portions fixed to the vehicle body. The steering rack mechanism has an outer tubular portion extending in the vehicle width direction, and the subframe main body and the outer tubular portion are integrally formed.
- Explanation of the patent/innovation:
* The innovation involves integrating the subframe main body with the outer tubular portion of the steering rack mechanism in a vehicle structure. * This integration simplifies the construction process and enhances the overall structural integrity of the vehicle.
- Potential applications of this technology:
* Automotive industry for vehicle chassis construction. * Manufacturing of vehicles with improved structural stability.
- Problems solved by this technology:
* Simplifies the assembly process of the vehicle structure. * Enhances the strength and rigidity of the subframe structure.
- Benefits of this technology:
* Improved structural integrity of the vehicle. * Streamlined manufacturing process for vehicle construction.
- Potential commercial applications of this technology:
* "Integrated Subframe Structure for Enhanced Vehicle Stability and Strength"
- Possible prior art:
* Prior art may include traditional subframe structures in vehicles that require separate assembly of the steering rack mechanism and subframe main body.
Questions:
1. How does the integration of the subframe main body with the outer tubular portion of the steering rack mechanism benefit the overall vehicle structure? 2. What specific improvements in vehicle stability and strength can be attributed to this integrated subframe structure design?
Original Abstract Submitted
In a subframe structure in a vehicle including a steering rack mechanism and a subframe structure body having a plurality of fixation portions fixed to a vehicle body, the steering rack mechanism has an outer tubular portion extending in a vehicle width direction, and the subframe main body and the outer tubular portion are integrally formed.
