VEHICLE BATTERY CASE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240199125 titled 'VEHICLE BATTERY CASE
The patent application describes a vehicle battery case that includes a lower panel supporting a battery from below, a battery cross member extending in the width direction of the vehicle, and battery side members on both sides of the lower panel in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.
- The lower panel supports the battery from below.
- The battery cross member extends in the width direction of the vehicle.
- Battery side members are in contact with both ends of the battery cross member.
- Each battery side member has a flange part connected to a side sill of the vehicle.
- During a vehicle side collision, the load applied to the side sill is transferred from the battery side member to the battery cross member.
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for vehicle battery safety. - Electric vehicle manufacturers for battery protection. - Vehicle safety regulations compliance.
Problems Solved: - Enhanced battery protection during side collisions. - Improved structural integrity of vehicle batteries. - Compliance with safety standards.
Benefits: - Increased safety for vehicle occupants. - Reduced risk of battery damage in accidents. - Enhanced overall vehicle safety features.
Commercial Applications: Title: Vehicle Battery Case for Enhanced Safety This technology can be used by automotive manufacturers to improve the safety of electric vehicles and comply with industry regulations, potentially increasing consumer trust and market competitiveness.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the battery case improve vehicle safety during side collisions? 2. What are the potential implications of this technology for the automotive industry?
Original Abstract Submitted
a vehicle battery case includes: a lower panel disposed on a bottom of a vehicle and configured to support a battery from below; a battery cross member disposed on the lower panel and extending in the width direction of the vehicle; and battery side members which are disposed on both sides of the lower panel in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and in contact with both ends of the battery cross member. each battery side member has a flange part which extends from the lower end thereof to the outside of the vehicle and is connected to a side sill, and a load applied to the side sill of the vehicle during a vehicle side collision is sequentially transferred from the battery side member to the battery cross member.
