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
Benefits: - Increased safety for vehicles - Improved stability and performance - Cost-effective manufacturing process
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Vehicle Lower Part Structure for Improved Safety This technology can be utilized by automotive manufacturers to enhance the safety and performance of their vehicles, potentially leading to increased market competitiveness and consumer trust.
