VEHICLE BOTTOM STRUCTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240326924 titled 'VEHICLE BOTTOM STRUCTURE
The vehicle bottom structure described in the patent application consists of a floor bottom panel with a floor tunnel portion and a bottom panel portion, side beams on the outer side of the floor bottom panel, first and second cross members on the central side and back end side of the floor tunnel portion, and a patch component between the cross members. The floor tunnel portion is located centrally between the side beams and extends along the vehicle front-back direction, while the bottom panel portion is between the side beams and the floor tunnel portion, with part of the patch component overlapping the central side of the bottom panel portion in the vehicle width direction.
- Floor bottom panel with tunnel portion and bottom panel portion
- Side beams on the outer side of the floor bottom panel
- First and second cross members on the central and back end side of the floor tunnel portion
- Patch component between the cross members
- Configuration for structural integrity and support
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for vehicle chassis design - Manufacturing of commercial vehicles - Construction of heavy-duty vehicles
Problems Solved: - Enhances structural strength and rigidity of the vehicle bottom - Provides support for the floor tunnel portion - Improves overall safety and durability of the vehicle
Benefits: - Increased stability and safety of the vehicle - Enhanced load-bearing capacity - Long-lasting structural integrity
Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Vehicle Bottom Structure for Enhanced Durability and Safety" This technology can be utilized in the automotive industry for designing robust vehicle chassis, particularly in the manufacturing of commercial and heavy-duty vehicles. The enhanced structural integrity and support provided by this bottom structure can lead to safer and more durable vehicles, appealing to manufacturers looking to improve the quality and reliability of their products.
Questions about the Vehicle Bottom Structure: 1. How does the patch component contribute to the overall strength of the vehicle bottom structure? The patch component reinforces the connection between the first and second cross members, enhancing the structural integrity and load-bearing capacity of the bottom structure.
2. What are the key advantages of having side beams on the outer side of the floor bottom panel? The side beams provide lateral support and help distribute weight evenly across the vehicle bottom, improving stability and safety.
