VEHICLE LOWER PART STRUCTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240190229 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 vehicle width direction outer end portion of the cross member and the rocker. The connecting member is formed in a closed cross-sectional shape.

  • The connecting member has a first fragile portion and a second fragile portion on the upper wall, extending from the outermost side to the inner side in the vehicle width direction.
  • A third fragile portion is formed on the lower wall of the connecting member between the first and second fragile portions in the front-rear direction.
  • The distance between the first fragile portion and the third fragile portion is shorter than the distance between the second fragile portion and the third fragile portion.

Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for vehicle lower part structures - 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 design for connecting the cross member and rocker
