Corner Shield For Electric Vehicle Battery Box - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240030537 titled 'Corner Shield For Electric Vehicle Battery Box

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for a battery box designed for hybrid or electric vehicles. The battery box consists of longitudinal and lateral walls that, along with a drop-in floor, create an interior compartment for holding batteries. The battery box also includes corner junctions where the lateral walls connect to the longitudinal walls, and corner shields that are placed over these junctions. The corner shields are externally mounted and provide fluid-tight sealing. The longitudinal and lateral walls are made of dual-phase steel, while the corner shields are made of draw steel.

  • The patent application is for a battery box for hybrid or electric vehicles.
  • The battery box has longitudinal and lateral walls that define an interior compartment for holding batteries.
  • Corner junctions are present where the lateral walls attach to the longitudinal walls.
  • Corner shields are placed over the corner junctions to provide fluid-tight sealing.
  • The longitudinal and lateral walls are made of dual-phase steel.
  • The corner shields have complex corners and are made of draw steel.

Potential Applications

  • Hybrid vehicles
  • Electric vehicles

Problems Solved

  • Ensures fluid-tight sealing at corner junctions
  • Protects the corner junctions from external elements

Benefits

  • Securely holds one or more batteries in the interior compartment
  • Provides fluid-tight sealing at corner junctions
  • Protects corner junctions from external elements


Original Abstract Submitted

a battery box for a hybrid or electric vehicle, the battery box including a pair of longitudinal walls and a pair of lateral walls that cooperate with a drop-in floor to define an interior compartment of the battery box for holding one or more batteries. the battery box includes corner junctions where the lateral walls are attached to the longitudinal walls and further includes corner shields that are placed over the corner junctions. the corner shields are externally mounted outside of the interior compartment and provide fluid tight sealing over the corner junctions. the longitudinal and lateral walls are made of dual phase steel. the corner shields have complex corners and are therefore made of draw steel.
