ELECTRIC VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240270062 titled 'ELECTRIC VEHICLE
The abstract of the patent application describes an electric vehicle with a side member and a mechanical-electrical integrated unit attached to the side member through a fastener. The integrated unit consists of a drive apparatus and an electric-power control apparatus housed in the same casing, which has upper and lower spaces vertically separated within it. The electric-power control apparatus is located in the upper space, while the drive apparatus is in the lower space. A plate is provided in the upper space, and the side member includes a fragile portion overlapping the plate in the width direction of the electric vehicle.
- The electric vehicle includes a side member and a mechanical-electrical integrated unit attached to it through a fastener.
- The integrated unit comprises a drive apparatus and an electric-power control apparatus housed in the same casing.
- The casing has upper and lower spaces vertically separated, with the control apparatus in the upper space and the drive apparatus in the lower space.
- A plate is present in the upper space, and the side member has a fragile portion overlapping the plate.
- This design allows for efficient housing and organization of the drive and control components in the electric vehicle.
Potential Applications: - Electric vehicle manufacturing industry - Automotive technology sector - Sustainable transportation solutions
