AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The existing front structural components of vehicles, after the installation of propulsion batteries, have increased mass, resulting in severe deformation during frontal impacts. This could pose a risk of the engine entering the passenger compartment, and existing reinforcement measures have failed to effectively address this issue.

Method used

By setting a new force transmission path between the rear extension of the bracket and the front longitudinal beam, and fixing the rear extension of the bracket directly or with the help of tie rods to the front longitudinal beam, a new fixed connection between the bracket and the front longitudinal beam is formed, reducing stress at the fixed position and stabilizing the front structural components.

Benefits of technology

It effectively reduces the deformation of the bracket under positive impact, lowers the risk of the engine entering the passenger compartment, and improves vehicle safety.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a vehicle comprising a pair of front longitudinal beams (7) and a bracket (1), the bracket (1) comprising a body (3) and a rear extension (5). At least one rear extension (5) of the bracket is fixed to the front longitudinal beams (7) directly or by means of at least one tie rod. This configuration is capable of stabilizing the bracket in the event of a positive impact and is particularly advantageous in the context of vehicles with hybrid or electric drive systems.
