Abstract:
Front structure for an electric vehicle comprising a lower dash panel, a seat cross-member and a tunnel nose, such that the tunnel nose is designed to absorb energy in its front portion while resisting intrusion in its rear portion, optimizing the energy absorption in the part during a front crash and protecting the battery pack from being breached by the downward pushing effect of the lower dash panel.
Abstract:
The invention deals with the design and the production method of a front floor reinforcement structure (1) for a vehicle (3) having a battery pack (5) in the tunnel (7) designed to improve the energy absorption of the vehicle during a side impact by involving the front floor panel (11) in the energy absorption during the side impact. The front floor reinforcement structure (1) comprises a front floor cross member (13) having a non-deformable portion (14) located on the end of the front floor cross member (13) closest to the side sill (9) and a deformable portion (16) located on the end of the front floor cross member (13) closest to the tunnel (7). The resistance to plastic deformation of the non-deformable portion (14) is greater than the resistance to plastic deformation of the deformable portion (16), which is itself greater than the resistance to plastic deformation of the front floor panel (11).
Abstract:
Reinforcement structure for the back face of a vehicle compartment The reinforcement structure (10) comprises: - at least one elevation reinforcement profile (12) extending along an elevation direction (Z), said elevation reinforcement profile (12); - at least one transversal reinforcement profile (14) extending along a transversal direction (T), substantially perpendicular to the elevation direction (Z) and - at least one compartment panel (16) extending against the elevation reinforcement profile (12) and the transversal reinforcement profile (14). The reinforcement structure further comprises at least one reinforcement member (46) extending along at least part of the elevation reinforcement profile (12) between said elevation reinforcement profile (12) and said compartment panel (16), said reinforcement member (46) being made of a material having a tensile strength greater than the tensile strength of the material forming the elevation reinforcement profile (12).
