Description

TECHNICAL AREA

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a locking module frame structure of a vehicle and to a purpose-built vehicle with such a frame structure, wherein the frame structure enables a vehicle cabin to be detachably attached to a frame in such a way that different door parts can be assembled to form a PBV vehicle, and the frame structure includes a load path structure designed to dissipate impact energy. BACKGROUND

[0002] There are different types of car doors. For example, there is a swing door (hinged door), which is mainly used for sedans, a sliding door, which is mainly used for medium-sized vans, and a tailgate, which is mainly used for the rear doors of vans and motorhomes.

[0003] Meanwhile, purpose-built vehicles (PBVs) have emerged as a future form of mobility that expands living space. For example, if a PBV consisting of a shoe store and a PBV consisting of a clothing store are docked at a hub, the hub becomes a shopping center. Depending on the purpose of the PBV, its functions and designs can be extensively expanded. The PBV is neither public transportation like a bus nor a private car, but a new type of mobility, and the PBV is used as a flexible space where the purpose of the hub itself varies depending on the purpose of the PBV docked to it.

[0004] To maximize the utilization of a purpose-built passenger vehicle (PBV), a frame structure is required that allows the door type to be changed depending on the purpose. For example, if space is limited, such as when only passengers are disembarking or the ceiling is low, a sliding or rear-hinged door must be used. Conversely, if a lot of luggage is being carried, a door that widens the opening is necessary. Among the rear doors, a clamshell type, split in the middle and then splits upwards and downwards, requires less force to open than opening and closing a single large rear door and takes up less space at the rear. The clamshell type is in the spotlight because the PBV opening can be widened when both the upper and lower doors are opened.

[0005] Meanwhile, the frame structure of a normal car is designed so that in a collision, the impact load is concentrated on a specific part, such as a longitudinal member. If the impact load is concentrated on a particular part of the frame, there is a risk of the vehicle sustaining more damage and the occupants being injured, which is problematic.

[0006] From CN 1 05 151 127 A a modular structure for a vehicle body is known, comprising a platform, several cabin frames, several connecting parts between the cabin frames and load path units that are in contact with the cabin frames.

[0007] DE 10 2020 116 388 A1 reveals a vehicle body with two cabin frames and two connecting parts between the cabin frames.

[0008] US patent 2022 / 0363328A1 describes a modular vehicle consisting of a drive module and a non-drive module. The modules are automatically coupled via body-frame couplers, including those located in the longitudinal members.

[0009] DE 69 604 201 T2 provides a drive unit that can be coupled to a mobile body to form a vehicle. It has two opposing surfaces on its side walls, perpendicular to the forward direction, and these surfaces are equipped with coupling / uncoupling devices for the releasable engagement of the wheel assembly.

[0010] Furthermore, US Patent 3,888,539 A shows a self-contained kitchen unit for a vehicle that fits through the vehicle's rear door opening. The kitchen unit is mounted in the vehicle by guide elements attached to the vehicle floor and by interacting support rails and rollers in the side walls of the kitchen unit.

[0011] The foregoing statements are intended only to facilitate the background understanding of the present disclosure and do not imply that the present disclosure belongs to the area of ​​prior art which is already known to the person skilled in the art. OVERVIEW

[0053] Fig. Figure 3 is a perspective view showing a case in which a cabin unit 500 is connected to the load path units 400 of the locking module frame structure of the vehicle according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention; and Fig. Figure 4 is a perspective view showing a state in which the cabin unit 500 is connected to the load path units 400 and the first cabin frame 210 of the closing module frame structure of the vehicle according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention.

[0054] According to the Fig. 3 and Fig. 4. The cabin unit 500 can be inserted between at least one load path unit 400. Preferably, the cabin unit 500 can comprise at least one load path coupling part 510 and one cabin space part 520. The cabin unit 500 can be arranged on opposite sides with respect to the central connecting part 300.

[0055] The load path coupling element 510 can be inserted between at least one load path unit 400. In an embodiment according to the invention Fig. 3. The two load path coupling parts 510 can be inserted between the three load path units 400. One shape of the load path coupling part 510 can correspond to one shape of the load path unit 400 such that the cabin unit 500 can be assembled without interference.

[0056] The cabin compartment section 520 can be connected to the first cabin frame 210 or the second cabin frame 220. When the cabin unit 500 is installed in the vehicle, the cabin compartment section 520 can form the outermost surface of the vehicle interior. Furthermore, according to Fig. 4 the load path unit 400 and the load path coupling part 510 must be set up to form the same plane.

[0057] Meanwhile, the present invention can also include a guide rail 110 on the side of the platform 100 and a cabin guide element 521 on the side of the cabin compartment section 520 for assembling the cabin unit 500. The guide rail 110 can be configured to extend from opposite sides of the outside of the platform 100.

[0058] The present invention can further comprise a fastening unit 600 for fastening the cabin unit 500 to the load path unit 400. Preferably, the fastening unit 600 secures the load path coupling part 510 to the load path unit 400 after the load path coupling part 510 has been fully inserted between the load path units 400. After releasing the fastening unit 600, the load path coupling part 510 is detached from the load path unit 400.

[0059] Fig. Figure 5 is a cross-sectional view showing the guide rail 110 and the cabin guide part 521 of the frame structure of the locking module of the vehicle according to an exemplary embodiment according to the invention.

[0060] According to Fig. 5. The shapes of an inner circumferential surface of the guide rail 110 and an outer circumferential surface of the cabin guide part 521 can be designed to correspond to each other. When the cabin unit 500 is assembled, the cabin guide part 521 is engaged with the guide rail 110 to limit the extent of movement of the cabin unit 500 in the left and right directions.

[0061] According to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the frame structure of the vehicle's locking module can further comprise a fastening bolt 700 that completely penetrates the guide rail 110 and the cabin guide element 521. The fastening bolt 700 can be fixed vertically to the upper surface of the guide rail 110. Once the fastening bolt 700 is fastened, a base side of the cabin guide element 521 can contact a base side of the guide rail 110. In an embodiment of the invention, when the fastening bolt 700 is fastened, the cabin guide element 521 is pressed against and fixed to the sealing part of the guide rail 110. This can limit the vertical range of movement of the cabin unit 500.

[0062] Fig. Figure 6A is a cross-sectional view of the fastening unit 600 in a state in which, according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the load path coupling part 510 of the locking module frame structure of the vehicle is connected to the load path unit.

The hook support 610 can be inserted into at least one of the load path units 400. The hook support 610 can be configured to secure the load path coupling element 510. Preferably, a groove is formed in at least one of the load path units 400 such that the hook support 610 can be fitted vertically. In one embodiment according to the invention, a cover is formed at a position corresponding to the groove of the load path unit 400, and when the hook support 610 is released, the groove is covered by the cover. The cabin unit 500 can be selectively secured and releasable by the fastening unit 600.

[0064] The hook 620 can be formed on the load path unit 400 at a position corresponding to the hook support part 610. Preferably, the hook 620 can be configured such that one end is fixed to the load path unit 400 and the other end is rotated. The hook 620 can be formed in a pair that fixes both ends of the hook support part 610. In an embodiment according to the invention, the hook 620 is positively connected to the hook support part 610 when the load path coupling part 510 and the load path unit 400 are coupled. When the load path coupling part 510 is fully inserted between the load path units 400, the hook support part 610 is inserted such that the hooks 620 are spaced apart from each other. After the assembly of the cabin unit 500, floor coverings can be formed on the top of the middle connecting part 300, the top of the load path unit 400 and the load path coupling part 510.

[0065] The hook insertion groove 630 is positioned in the load path coupling part 510 and can be configured such that the hook 620 is inserted in such a way that the load path coupling part 510 is fixed. Preferably, the hook insertion grooves 630 limit the amount of rotation of the hooks 620 when the hooks 620 are spaced apart from each other by inserting the hook support part 610. The hook insertion groove 630 can be configured in each of the load path coupling parts 510 in a shape corresponding to the hook 620. The hook insertion groove 630 is formed at a position that corresponds to the longitudinal position of the hook 620 when the load path coupling part 510 is fully inserted between the load path units 400.

[0066] Fig. Figure 6B is a view showing the hook support element 610 of the frame structure of the locking module of the vehicle, which, according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, is to be released by a hook 620; and Fig. Figure 6C is a cross-sectional view of the fastening unit 600 in the case that the load path coupling part 510 of the frame structure of the vehicle locking module of the vehicle is to be detached from the load path unit 400 according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention.

[0067] According to Fig. 6B and Fig. 6C, the hook support part 610 is released from the hook 620 when the load path coupling part 510 is released from the load path unit 400. Preferably, when the hook support part 610 is released from the hook 620, the hook 620 is reattached and released from the hook insertion groove 630. When the hook 620 is released from the hook insertion groove 630, the load path coupling part 510 is released from the load path unit 400.

[0068] In one embodiment according to the invention, the hook 620 is restored when the hook support part 610 is released such that the load path coupling part 510 is released without interference from the load path unit 400. One end of the hook 620 can be hinged to the load path unit 400 by an elastic element. When the hook support part 610 is fitted into the hook 620, it is secured by an elastic repulsive force. When the hook support part 610 is released from the hook 620, the hook 620 can be returned to its original state by an elastic restoring force.

[0069] The cabin unit 500 can be stably attached to the vehicle by means of a guide rail 110, a cabin guide element 521, and the fastening unit 600. Preferably, the side surface of the cabin unit 500 can be fastened by the guide rail 110 and the cabin guide element 521, and the central part of the cabin unit 500 can be fastened by the fastening unit 600. If the cabin unit 500 needs to be replaced, the fastening bolt 700 is loosened and the hook support element 610 is removed. Once the fastening bolt 700 and the hook support element 610 are loosened, the cabin unit 500 is released in a direction opposite to the direction it was inserted into the load path units 400.

[0070] In summary, the present invention provides the frame structure of the vehicle's locking module, wherein the frame structure allows the cabin unit 500 to be detachably fixed to a frame in such a way that various door parts 800 can be assembled to form a PBV vehicle, and includes a load path structure designed to dissipate impact energy.
