Description

[0001] DESCRIPTION

[0002] A VEHICLE COMPRISING AN IMPACT-DAMPING LAYER

[0003] Technical Field

[0004] The present invention relates to a vehicle comprising an impact-absorbing layer which reduces the pressure / force and ensures passenger safety by damping the pressure / force exerted on the chassis and / or battery of the vehicle during an accident and / or an impact.

[0005] Background of the Invention

[0006] During the use of electric vehicles, the rigidity of the chassis and / or the battery deteriorates as a result of an accident and / or an impact. The deterioration of the rigidity of the battery not only causes deformation on the battery but also causes serious problems resulting in fire and / or explosion on the battery as a result of an accident and / or impact. For this reason, it is especially important to protect the battery against an accident and / or impact. In today's applications, there are various structures that protect the battery against impacts coming from underneath. However, the said applications cannot protect the chassis and / or battery in the event of an impact coming from the side of the vehicle.

[0007] For this reason, there is a need for a vehicle that prevents possible chassis and / or battery deformation that may occur as a result of an accident experienced by electric vehicles and / or an impact received by damping the force generated in the side area of the chassis and / or battery.

[0008] The Chinese utility model document no. CN215070134U, an application included in the state of the art, discloses a protective plate assembly which provides safety by absorbing impact energy while performing the cooling or heating function of battery packs used in electric vehicles. The invention consists of a liquid cooling plate, a flow channel plate and a buffer layer. The flow channel plate is placed underneath the battery pack and allows the coolant circulating inside the liquid cooling plate to flow smoothly and protects the battery pack from external impacts. The plate ensures a homogeneous flow of the liquid while absorbing impact energy from the outside. The buffer layer is integrated into the flow channel plate and prevents leakage by closing the flow channel. The adhesive layer between the liquid cooling plate and the protective plate binds them together and ensures a secure connection between the plate and the box. The battery cells are placed inside the box and the liquid cooling plate provides both cooling and impact absorption. The liquid cooling plate regulates the temperature and prevents overheating by being positioned underneath the battery pack. The flow channel plate protects the battery pack from impacts by evenly distributing the coolant to the battery cells. Especially during transportation or sudden collisions, this plate absorbs the harmful effects of impacts. Raised ribs are positioned in a single mold with the flow channel plate made of high-strength materials to increase its durability. The protective plate is made of high-strength materials and protects the battery pack against external impacts. Thus, the safety, efficiency and durability of the battery pack in electric vehicles are increased.

[0009] Summary of the Invention

[0010] An object of the present invention is to realize a vehicle comprising an impactabsorbing layer which reduces the pressure / force and ensures passenger safety by damping the pressure / force exerted on the chassis and / or battery of the vehicle during an accident and / or an impact.

[0011] Detailed Description of the Invention

[0012] “A Vehicle Comprising an Impact-Damping Layer” realized to fulfil the object of the present invention is shown in the figure attached, in which: Figure 1 is a general view of an inventive vehicle comprising an impactdamping layer.

[0013] The components illustrated in the figure are individually numbered, where the numbers refer to the following:

[0014] 1. Vehicle

[0015] 2. Sheet

[0016] 3. Tube

[0017] A: Chassis

[0018] B: Battery

[0019] An inventive vehicle (1) which enables the impacts received from the side to be dampened comprises at least one sheet (2) which is placed on the side of the battery (B) of an electric vehicle and / or on the chassis (A) of any vehicle so as to extend between the front and rear wheel, and enables the impact received from the side of the vehicle to be distributed; and at least one tube (3) which stores at least one impact-absorbing liquid that dampens the energy of a received impact therein and forms a barrier so as to dampen the energy following the first received impact by being placed on the sheet (2).

[0020] The sheet (2) included in the inventive vehicle (1) is placed on the side surfaces of the chassis and / or battery and extends along the distance between the front and rear wheel. The sheet (2) enables the first impact energy received during a collision to be distributed along the surface by compensating it by being placed on the side surfaces of the chassis (A) and / or the battery (B). The sheet (2) enables the mechanical strength of the chassis (A) and / or battery (B) to be increased by spreading the partial and / or localized collision force received from the side surfaces of the chassis (A) and / or battery (B) over the entire surface. In this way, the first impact energy received by the chassis (A) and / or battery (B) during the collision is spread over the entire sheet (2) surface.

[0021] The tube (3) included in the inventive vehicle (1) is located on the sheet (2) located on the side surfaces of the chassis (A) and / or the battery (B) and enables the impact energy received during the collision to be damped. The tube (3) enables any material that will dampen the energy applied thereon to be stored therein and dampens the energy received by the chassis (A) and / or the battery (B) during the collision. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the tube (3) comprises a liquid having a viscosity that will enable the energy to be absorbed during the collision. In this way, the energy received after spreading the first impact received by the chassis (A) and / or battery (B) during the collision on the sheet (3) is damped as much as possible through the tube (3) and passenger safety is increased during the collision.

[0022] Industrial Application of the Invention

[0023] The sheet (2) included in the inventive vehicle (1) is placed so as to extend between the front and rear wheel in the side region of the chassis (A) and / or battery (B). The sheet (2) reduces the collision effect by enabling the first impact due to partial and / or localized collision in the area where it is placed to spread over the entire surface. There are one and / or more than one tube (3) placed on the sheet (2). The tube (3) enables the energy that continues after the first impact of the partial and / or localized collision is damped by the sheet (2) to be damped. The tube (3) comprises a liquid having a viscosity that will enable the ongoing energy due to the collision to be damped; dampens the effect of the collision and protects the chassis (A) and / or the battery (B) during the collision. In this way, the force due to the first impact during the collision is distributed through the sheet (2) and passenger safety is increased by damping the ongoing energy through the tube (3). Within these basic concepts; it is possible to develop various embodiments of the inventive “A Vehicle (1) Comprising an Impact-Damping Layer”; the invention cannot be limited to examples disclosed herein and it is essentially according to claims.
