Crash load distribution structure of fuselage
View Patent ↗A crash load distribution structure of a fuselage may include a front fuselage frame surrounding a front surface of the fuselage, a crash unit disposed at the front end of the front fuselage frame, an extension frame coupled to the crash unit and extending to a floor frame, and a battery unit disposed under the floor frame and coupled to a portion of the floor frame constituting the floor frame. The battery unit may be selectively separable from the portion of the floor frame, e.g., if a crash load is transmitted from the extension frame.
1. A structure, comprising:
a front fuselage frame surrounding a front surface of a fuselage;
a crash unit disposed at a front end of the front fuselage frame;
an extension frame coupled to the crash unit and extending to a floor frame; and
a battery unit disposed under the floor frame and coupled to a portion of the floor frame, wherein the battery unit is configured to be selectively separated from the portion of the floor frame based on a load transmitted via the extension frame to the crash unit.
2. The structure according to claim 1 , wherein the extension frame extends towards the floor frame, and comprises:
a deformation section configured to absorb the load, and
a support section bent from the deformation section in a width direction of the fuselage and configured to receive the load.
3. The structure according to claim 1 , wherein the battery unit comprises:
a battery configured to supply power to drive the fuselage; and
at least one battery support coupled to a side of the battery and connected to an end portion of the extension frame extending towards the floor frame.
4. The structure according to claim 3 , wherein the at least one battery support is movable rearwards by the load transmitted via the extension frame.
5. The structure according to claim 3 , wherein the at least one battery support comprises:
a first mounting member connected to the extension frame; and
a second mounting member extending horizontally from the first mounting member and coupled to the portion of the floor frame using a fastening member and a nut passing together through the portion of the floor frame.
6. The structure according to claim 5 , wherein the portion of the floor frame comprises:
a first connector coupled to a fuselage skin-side portion of the front fuselage frame, wherein the first connector and the fuselage skin-side portion constitute opposite sides of the front fuselage frame; and
a second connector horizontally extending from the first connector in contact an upper surface of the second mounting member, wherein the second connector has a through hole configured to engage the nut.
7. The structure according to claim 6 , wherein:
the through hole comprises a first through hole portion configured to fix the nut in place and a second through hole portion extending from the first through hole portion, and
the second through hole portion is formed behind the first through hole portion and has a larger diameter than that of the first through hole portion.
8. A structure, comprising:
a front fuselage frame surrounding a front surface of a fuselage;
a crash unit disposed at a front end of the front fuselage frame;
an extension frame coupled to the crash unit and extending to a floor frame, and including:
a deformation section configured to absorb a load, and
a support section bent from the deformation section in a width direction of the fuselage and configured to receive the load; and
a battery unit disposed under the floor frame and coupled to a portion of the floor frame, and configured to be selectively separated from the portion of the floor frame based on the load being transmitted via the extension frame.
9. The structure according to claim 8 , wherein the battery unit comprises:
a battery configured to supply power to drive a vehicle comprising the fuselage; and
at least one battery support coupled to a side of the battery and connected to an end portion of the extension frame extending towards the floor frame.
10. The structure according to claim 9 , wherein the at least one battery support is movable rearwards by the load transmitted via the extension frame.
