VEHICLE LOWER PART STRUCTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18480721 titled 'VEHICLE LOWER PART STRUCTURE

The vehicle lower part structure described in the patent application includes a cross member and a connecting member that connects the outer end portion of the cross member in the vehicle width direction to the rocker. The connecting member has fragile portions on its upper and lower walls, extending in the front-rear direction.

  • The connecting member is formed in a closed cross-sectional shape.
  • Fragile portions are formed on the upper and lower walls of the connecting member.
  • The fragile portions extend in the front-rear direction from the outermost side to the inner side in the vehicle width direction.
  • The distance between the fragile portions is shorter on the lower wall than on the upper wall.

Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for vehicle chassis design. - Manufacturing of vehicles with improved structural integrity.

Problems Solved: - Enhances the overall strength and durability of the vehicle lower part structure. - Provides a more efficient and reliable connection between the cross member and the rocker.

Benefits: - Increased safety for vehicle occupants. - Improved performance and stability of the vehicle. - Reduction in maintenance and repair costs due to enhanced structural design.

Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Vehicle Lower Part Structure for Improved Safety and Performance This technology can be utilized by automotive manufacturers to enhance the safety and performance of their vehicles, potentially attracting safety-conscious consumers and improving market competitiveness.

Prior Art: Readers can explore prior patents related to vehicle chassis design and structural connections in the automotive industry to gain a deeper understanding of the technological advancements in this field.

Original Abstract Submitted

The vehicle lower part structure includes a cross member, and a connecting member that is formed in a closed cross-sectional shape and connects the vehicle width direction outer end portion of the cross member and the rocker. A first fragile portion and a second fragile portion extending in the front-rear direction from the outermost side to the inner side in the vehicle width direction are formed on the upper wall of the connecting member, and a third fragile portion extending in the front-rear direction is formed on the lower wall of the connecting member between the first fragile portion and the second fragile portion in the front view, and a distance along the vehicle width direction between the first fragile portion and the third fragile portion is shorter than a distance along the vehicle width direction between the second fragile portion and the third fragile portion.
