Description
A Side Frame Profile Having Intermediate Columns for Battery Carrying
Technical Field
The invention relates to a side frame profile used battery carriers protecting/carrying battery package of the electrical vehicles to meet required resistance, lightness and leak-prooffness.
Background of the Invention
Today electrical vehicles are becoming popular and vehicles having battery carriers are highly used. In the present state of art, profiles forming battery carrier are produced by production methods such as cold shaping and extrusion from cast, sheet plate with single wall or double walls subject to chassis design of the vehicle.
Cast process requires too much investment cost because of the sizes of part. Welding and resistance values are lower in comparison to other processes.
Battery carriers need to pass specified resistance tests to meet automotive security standards. The difficulties and cost increases in processes such as increasing wall thickness of plate and bending, pressing, cutting and similar processes of plate with increased thickness so as to pass related tests in cold forming process using sheet plates. In addition to them, machining need for mounting with other structural components occurs.
As battery carriers have leakage-proof requirements, leakage gasket is used on the profiles. Side profiles developed by use of extrusion requires drilling gasket ducts for seating gasket. To achieve seating of gasket providing leakage-proof a gasket duct of full geometry is made along profile length in lower surface. Forming all of side frame profile from full geometry of related profile width increases weight considerably.
Besides, various connecting members are used for mounting of lower and upper cover parts of battery carrier profiles. For mounting of connecting members used therein, related areas require to be designed in full geometry. In other words, full geometry causes weight more than needed. Furthermore, mounting spaces of connecting members which are full need to be emptied by means of various machining methods. This operation also causes additional cost.
Battery carriers require to be designed with resistance to meet profile requirements but in case of avoiding additional weight, several mounted products need to be used for connecting members. Additional cost such as supply, mounting of such products and providing leakageproof of each mounting product arises.
In the related art an application numbered CN209045621U is seen. In the said application, leakage proof member of the battery carrier is placed on the bulge surface formed by twisting side frame upper surface and mounted by closing of it onto cover. In this application, since side frame profile is not eligible for production by extrusion, turning, drilling and similar operations are needed. In addition, a solution for higher resistance of side frame profile as well as lightness has not been offered.
As a result, due to above described disadvantages and inadequacy of existing solutions, it has been necessary to make development in the related art.
Purpose of the Invention
Primary purpose of the invention is to provide a side frame profile having high resistance and sealing values as well as light weight thanks to intermediate resistance columns forming housing for sealing members and connection members and perpendicular to collusion direction.
Another purpose of the invention is to provide elimination of tolerance problems arising from location failures that might occur in holes needed to be made for bolts and also lightening of geometry by forming structures in crescent form by means of advantages of extrusion process instead of full geometries for connections of bolts required for mounting of side frame profile to lower and upper battery covers.
A further purpose of the invention is to achieve a structure of lower cost, less tolerance failures and less process and not requiring additional member made by placing guide inside connection holes of crescent form. Also said connection housings having connection to ribs increases rigidity of structure as well as provides maintaining quality of rib.
Another purpose of the invention is to provide that no other additional solution is needed for providing sealing between profile geometries or to connection members separately by sealing member thanks to placing sealing member duct onto seating surface provided on
upper part of rib for mounting discharge. As gasket placed between covers by gasket duct is capable to cover all battery carrier surface, needed sealing is provided by one single sealing member.
In order to achieve above mentioned purposes, the invention relates to a double wall side frame profile suitable for use in battery carriers protecting/carrying battery package of electrical vehicles. Invention is characterized by comprising, a surface discharging formed along surface of the side frame profile, which remains in upper and/or lower position when said side frame profile is used, intermediate columns at intervals with one another, comprising, in a manner to form connection between said walls; a connection housing convenient for placement of connection members to fix battery carrier cover and a rib having seating surface where a sealing member duct can seat by means of said surface discharging, formed in continuation of said connection housing.
