- the vehicle 2 is mounted on a platform 4 launched in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle 2, so that the vehicle laterally hits a pole 6, at a seat of passenger.
- the transverse deformation of the vehicle causing significant risks of injury to the passenger, the test aims to measure the amplitude of the deformation of the vehicle.
- the test notes in particular the deformation at the floor of the vehicle.
- the floor tunnel is usually an important cause of the transverse deformation of the floor.
- the deformation generally also includes tearing or tearing at the attachment points of the seats which are particularly stressed during such an impact.
- Patent document DE 10 2006 031 452 A1 discloses a floor comprising a central tunnel extending longitudinally, sleepers extending from each side of the tunnel and intended for fixing seats, and a stiffener extending transversely under the tunnel between the sleepers.
- the stiffener is fixed at its ends under the sleepers and, in its central portion, bypasses the tunnel from below.
- the central portion comprises two vertical sections vis-à-vis corresponding vertical portions of the tunnel.
- the vertical section which is opposed to the impact is supported on the corresponding face of the tunnel opposite the impact, itself taking support on the opposite crossbar so as to transfer the impact force on said cross.
- This teaching is interesting in that the stiffener promotes the reduction of the deformation of the floor at the tunnel through the support of a cross opposite the shock. However, it is limited to the floors comprising sleepers forming a lateral support against the tunnel.
- DE 10 2008 036 179 A1 discloses a motor vehicle floor comprising a central tunnel extending longitudinally and two side walls on either side of the tunnel.
- the floor also includes sleepers mounted on the side walls for the transverse reinforcement of the floor. These sleepers are also intended for fixing seats.
- the floor further comprises a stiffener extending transversely in the tunnel.
- the stiffener may be configured to support a dashboard support. This teaching is interesting in that the stiffener makes it possible, in addition to strengthening the tunnel, to reinforce the fixing of a support outside the floor. The reinforcement of this teaching is however limited to bearing on the walls of the tunnel, which can limit its scope of action of reinforcement compared to the rest of the floor.
- the patent document US Pat. No. 6,666,501 B1 discloses a floor of a motor vehicle comprising a first tunnel and first side walls on either side of the tunnel, as well as a second tunnel and second walls on either side of the second tunnel. ; the first and second sets of walls are juxtaposed and form between them transverse cavities to stiffen the floor.
- the materials used to make the floor can be aluminum or magnesium type, they can be assembled by gluing, welding or riveting.
- the teaching is interesting in that the floor is made of lightweight materials which is favorable to the weight of the vehicle.
- the tunnel reinforcement solutions of the aforementioned teachings are not adapted to the floor of this teaching, mainly due to the sandwich construction of the floor.
