Vehicle Seat Bottom Plate Honeycomb Rib Structure

The bottom plate is segmented into multiple regions with different reinforcement rib arrangements. The seating region has a specific pattern of reinforcement ribs, while other regions have different patterns or no ribs, allowing optimized weight distribution while maintaining necessary rigidity in critical areas.

Different regions of the bottom plate are given different structural qualities. The seating region receives specific reinforcement rib patterns to handle occupant loads, while outer edge regions and fuel supply opening regions have tailored reinforcement patterns, avoiding uniform reinforcement throughout the entire plate and reducing overall weight.

The bottom plate features locally optimized reinforcement patterns: the seating region has reinforcement ribs arranged to support occupant weight, the outer edge region has ribs to prevent deformation, and the fuel supply opening region has ribs to maintain structural integrity around the opening. Each region's reinforcement is tailored to its specific functional requirements, avoiding unnecessary weight in areas where full reinforcement is not needed.

Rather than providing uniform reinforcement across the entire bottom plate, the invention applies reinforcement ribs only where structurally necessary. The seating region, outer edge region, and fuel supply opening region receive targeted reinforcement, while other areas have reduced or no reinforcement, achieving adequate structural integrity with minimized weight.

The reinforcement rib structure is segmented into multiple individual ribs distributed across the bottom plate rather than using a single solid reinforcement element. This segmentation allows the ribs to effectively disperse loads across multiple contact points while using less total material volume, achieving both weight reduction and maintained load dispersion capability.

The reinforcement ribs extend in multiple directions and dimensions across the bottom plate surface, creating a three-dimensional reinforcement pattern. This multi-dimensional arrangement allows the ribs to resist loads from various directions and effectively disperse applied forces across the plate structure, maintaining rigidity and load dispersion capability with reduced material volume compared to a single thick reinforcement element.
