Telescopic Vehicle Chassis for Adjustable Wheelbase and Body Length
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing vehicle chassis is fixed in size and only adapts to one particular vehicle body, limiting user experience and failing to meet diverse driving requirements.
Innovation Solution
The chassis is designed as a telescopic structure with movable bodies that can be adjusted in length, allowing it to accommodate vehicle bodies of different lengths, and includes features such as accommodating spaces for battery cells and adjustable wheel bases.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the chassis is designed with a fixed size, then the structural simplicity is maintained, but the adaptability to different vehicle bodies is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The chassis is divided into multiple movable bodies (first movable body, second movable body, third movable body) that can independently adjust their positions. Each movable body contains battery cells and can be positioned at different locations along the chassis length, enabling the chassis to adapt to different vehicle body lengths while maintaining structural organization through modular segmentation.
Solution Approach 2:
The chassis transitions from a fixed structure to a dynamic one where movable bodies can change their positions along the first preset direction. The movable bodies are configured to be movable relative to each other, allowing the chassis length and wheel base to be adjusted dynamically to match different vehicle body requirements.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the chassis length is increased to accommodate different vehicle bodies, then the adaptability is improved, but the wheel base may become too long for compact vehicles
Solution Approach 1:
The wheel base is made dynamic through the movable bodies that can adjust their positions independently. The first movable body (mounting front wheel) and second movable body (mounting rear wheel) can change their relative distance to adapt to different wheel base requirements, while the third movable body with battery cells adjusts accordingly to maintain proper chassis configuration.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the movable bodies are made adjustable in position, then the adaptability to different driving scenes is improved, but the structural complexity and manufacturing difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The adjustable chassis is manufactured as separate movable body modules that can be produced independently and then assembled. Each movable body is a discrete unit containing battery cells and mounting structures, simplifying the manufacturing process compared to creating a fully integrated adjustable chassis as a single complex structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The movable bodies are designed as universal components that can serve multiple functions: supporting battery cells, mounting wheels, and adjusting chassis configuration. This multi-functionality reduces the total number of different parts needed, simplifying both manufacturing and assembly processes.

AI summary
The present application provides a chassis, a vehicle, a device for manufacturing a vehicle and a method for manufacturing a vehicle. The chassis includes at least two movable bodies that are continuously arranged along a first preset direction, and by adjusting a position of at least one movable body in the first preset direction, a length of the chassis in the first preset direction can be changed so as to enable the chassis to adapt to the vehicle body of a different length. Since each movable body is provided at an adjacent movable body thereof with a position adjustable in a preset direction, the chassis is made into a telescopic structure that is adjustable in length. The length of the chassis can be adjusted according to the requirements to enable the chassis to adapt to the vehicle body of a different length.
