Application: Plate member joint structure and manufacturing method (Patent ID: US20240182120A1)
The patent filed by Honda Motor Co Ltd describes a plate member joint structure formed in a tubular shape, consisting of a first plate member with flange portions and a second plate member joined to the flange portions. Each flange portion has a reinforcing portion with a closed cross-sectional space, enhancing the structural integrity of the joint. The reinforcing portion protrudes from the second surface of the flange portion and is positioned away from the joint portion between the two plate members.
Furthermore, the patent includes claims detailing the specific features of the joint structure, such as the welding of the first and second plate members with the same thickness at the joint portion, the presence of multiple reinforcing portions along the flange portions, and the use of additive manufacturing to create the first plate member. The method for manufacturing the first plate member involves integrally forming it through additive manufacturing, ensuring the hat-shaped cross-section with flange portions and a recessed portion. Overall, the patent focuses on improving the strength and durability of plate member joints in tubular structures through innovative design and manufacturing techniques.
