  • Patent number: 11945509
    Abstract: A vehicle body rear part structure includes a rear frame and a beam member. The rear frame has: a first inner bead, a first outer bead, a second inner bead, and a second outer bead. The first inner bead and the first outer bead are formed on an inner wall and an outer wall, respectively, in a region close to the beam member. The second inner bead and the second outer bead are formed on the inner wall and the outer wall, respectively, in a region that is separated to a vehicle body frontward direction from the first beads. The first outer bead is formed to have a higher fragility than the first inner bead.

  • Patent number: 11920077
    Abstract: No studies have been made regarding what kinds of refrigerants should be used in a refrigeration cycle device for a vehicle. An air conditioner (1) for a vehicle includes a refrigerant circuit (10) and a refrigerant that is sealed in the refrigerant circuit (10). The refrigerant circuit (10) includes a compressor (80), a first heat exchanger (85), which serves as a heat dissipater in a dehumidifying heating mode, an outside-air heat exchanger (82), a cooling control valve (87), and a second heat exchanger (86), which serves as an evaporator in the dehumidifying heating mode. The refrigerant is a refrigerant having a low GWP.

  • Publication number: 20230312003
    Abstract: The invention provides a side structure of a vehicle body, which realizes a pillar structure that can efficiently absorb the collision energy in the event of a side collision with a simple configuration to be capable of effectively increasing the vehicle body support rigidity in the event of a vehicle side collision. The side structure of the vehicle body includes a reinforcing member (75) joined to the upper surface of an outer sill (19b) of a side sill (19) on the inner side of an outer pillar (72) of a center pillar (70) in the vehicle width direction; and a bracket (85) for attaching a seat belt retractor (81) to the side sill (19). The bracket (85) is fixed to and interposed between a surface of the reinforcing member (75) on the inner side in the vehicle width direction and the upper surface of an inner sill (19a).
