摘要: A battery tray for an electric vehicle includes a tub component that has a floor portion and a perimeter wall portion that integrally extends upward around a peripheral edge of the floor portion to border a battery containment area of the tub component. The tub component may include a plurality of cross member portions that integrally interconnect with the floor portion and the perimeter wall portion so as to span laterally across the battery containment area to divide the battery containment area into separate compartments. A support structure of the battery tray may have an elongated member coupled at an exterior side of each of opposing longitudinal sections of the perimeter wall portion of the tub component.

摘要: A floor assembly for a vehicle that includes a floor panel having a metal sheet and a pair of rocker members disposed longitudinally along sides of the floor panel. A crossmember spans between the rocker members and includes a tubular beam that has a cross-sectional shape extending continuously along a length of the tubular beam. The cross-sectional shape of the crossmember includes an enclosed tubular shape extending along the length and an upper wall portion and a lower wall portion each extending alongside the tubular shape. A weld is disposed at the upper wall portion and extends through the lower wall portion to the metal sheet of the floor panel for attaching the crossmember to the floor panel.

摘要: A crossmember for a vehicle battery tray provides a beam that has a closed cross-sectional shape with a top wall coupled with parallel side walls along a length of the beam. A reinforcing top cap is disposed along the beam, where a C-shaped transverse cross-sectional shape of the top cap has a central section that disposed along the top wall and legs of the top cap welded to the side walls. The legs include inward angled tabs that are biased against the beam and welded thereto. The top wall of the beam and the central section of the top cap have aligned fastener openings disposed at spaced intervals along the length of the beam and configured to receive fasteners that secure at least one of a battery module or tray cover to the crossmember.

摘要: A rocker component for a vehicle includes a tubular beam (22) having a transverse cross-sectional shape extending continuously along a length of the tubular beam. The transverse cross-sectional shape of the tubular beam includes an inboard portion (26) that has an inboard height dimension and an outboard portion (28) that has an outboard height dimension. The outboard height dimension is less than the inboard height dimension. The transverse cross-sectional shape of the tubular beam also includes an upper planar wall (30) and a lower planar wall (32) that connect linearly between the respective upper and lower ends of the inboard portion and the outboard portion to form a tapered shape.

摘要: A side frame assembly (10) for a vehicle (100) includes a rocker structure (12) and an inboard stiffening beam (14). The rocker structure (12) includes a metal sheet that has longitudinal bends along a length of the rocker structure separating the upper wall (16), the lower wall (18), and the inner wall (22) of the rocker structure. The inboard stiffening beam (14) is disposed along an inboard-facing surface of the inner wall (22) of the rocker structure (12). The inboard stiffening beam (14) includes a second metal sheet that is formed to define a tubular shape along a length of the inboard stiffening beam (14). The tubular shape includes a planar upper wall (36) and/or a planar lower wall (38), the planar extent of which intersects a portion of the rocker structure (12), such as the inner wall (22), to form a lateral load path from the rocker structure (12) to the tubular shape of inboard stiffening beam (14).

摘要: A vehicle rocker assembly (10) includes a rocker insert (40) disposed between a sill inner (12) and a sill outer (14). The rocker insert (40) includes a center panel (42) having an upper edge portion (44) attached between the sill inner (12) and the sill outer (14) and a lower edge portion (46) attached between the sill inner (12) and the sill outer (14). The center panel (42) may also include a channel (48) disposed between the upper and lower edge portions (44,46) and extending longitudinally along the elongated hollow interior. The channel (48) includes an upper wall portion(50) and a lower wall portion (52) that are connected by a recessed wall (56) of the channel (48). Additionally, the rocker insert assembly (40) includes a tubular member (60) at least partially disposed within the channel (48) and attached to the upper and lower wall portions (50,52) of the channel (48). Moreover, the tubular member (60) is spaced from the recessed wall (56) of the channel (48) to form a second hollow interior (62).

摘要: A vehicle rocker assembly includes an outer sill member and an inner sill member attached longitudinally along the outer sill member to define a hollow space along and between the inner and outer sill members. A tubular insert is disposed in the hollow space so as to extend longitudinally along the hollow space. The tubular insert has a crush control feature extending longitudinally along a wall of the tubular insert, such as upper and lower walls at opposing sides of the interior volume. The tubular insert is configured for side impact forces at the outer sill member to laterally deform the tubular insert at the crush control feature to provide an accordion-style lateral crush to absorb the side impact forces.

摘要: A vehicle rocker assembly (102) includes a sill inner (12) and a sill outer (14). An upper flange portion (18) of the sill inner (12) is coupled with an upper flange portion (22) of the sill outer (14), and a lower flange portion (20) of the sill inner (12) is coupled with a lower flange portion (24) of the sill outer (14) to enclose a hollow interior (16) of the vehicle rocker assembly (102). One of the sill inner (12) or the sill outer (14) includes a reinforcement structure (40) integrated in the sill wall of the respective still inner (12) or sill outer (14). The reinforcement structure (40) includes walls that each laterally span the hollow interior (16) and form a multi-hollow cross-sectional shape with the sill inner (12) and sill outer (14).

摘要: A vehicle beam assembly includes a hollow tubular member configured to be formed with steel tube air forming. The tubular member includes a varied cross section along a length of the tubular member. For example, the hollow tubular member includes a center portion having a first cross-sectional shape, a pair of end portions that extend past corresponding crush cans in a direction away from the center portion, where the pair of end portions extend at an angle of 40-70 degrees, and at least one transition portion disposed between the center portion and one of the pair of end portions. A cross-sectional shape of the center portion, a cross sectional shape of one of the end portions, and a cross-sectional shape of the transition portion are all different cross-sectional shapes.
