The hull 1 is transformed into an arc-shape or an elliptic arc-shape to overcome the problem of stress concentration, and the ship body is not easily to be damaged and cracked. The deck 3 is transformed into a double-layer structure deck comprising an upper deck 32 and a lower deck 31, the lower deck 31 is an arc face turtle structure and is connected on the hull 1 and the skeleton 2, and the lower deck 31 forms an integral ellipsoid-like ship body structure together with the hull 1 and the skeleton 2, and the upper deck 32 is a conventional plane deck and covers on the lower deck 31 with support of the elastic damping slipping structure 4. The elastic damping slipping structure 4 is a spring or a damper or a rubber and plastic or a high polymer material elastic cushion block etc. The upper deck 31 and the lower deck 31 are relatively slidable by means of the elastic damping slipping structure 4.

Besides, the structure of double-layer deck 3 is adopted, the lower deck 31 is arc face turtle structure and is connected on the hull 1 and the skeleton 2, when ship's nose and stern or both sides are under impact, the skeleton 2, the hull 1 and the lower deck 31 of the whole ship body occur corresponding elastic deformation, however, the elastic deformation not affects normal running of ships. The upper deck 32 is a conventional deck and covers on the lower deck 31 with support of the elastic damping slipping structure 4. The upper deck 31 and the lower deck 31 are relatively slidable, and the elastic damping slipping structure 4 plays a role of cushioning and absorbing the impact energy, when the lower deck 31 is deformed, the upper deck 32 is not deformed, so that the superstructure and other facilities of the ship body is stable and comfortable with conventional ship body, which greatly increases the security factor.
Preferably, in consideration of anti-collision performance of the bottom of the ship body, the bottom of the ship body is also transformed into double-layer structure, that is, the elastic protective layer structure 5 is added on the bottom. The structure of the elastic protective layer structure 5 is designed according to the frame body of the whole ship body, that is, the internal skeleton 52, the reinforcing rib, the reinforcing plate and other reinforcing components of the elastic protective layer structure 5 are all in the form of an arc or a wavy curve along the trend, and the arc-shaped shell 51 of the elastic protective layer structure 5 is also in the form of an arc, which is the same with the hull, and the arc-shaped shell 51 and the hull 1 are tangent connection by smooth transition. Both the internal frame 52 and the arc-shaped shell 51 are made of elastic materials. When the bottom of ships strikes on a rock, the elastic protective layer structure 5 of the bottom of the ship body produces moderate elastic deformation, thereby cushioning and absorbing most of impact energies, so that the bottom of the ship body not cracks and the sailing security of ships is guaranteed. The bottom design of the ship body in this embodiment is called as locally elastic anti-impact frame body structure design.

The car frame structure 8 comprises a front anti-collision beam 81, a back anti-collision beam 82, a left longitudinal beam 83, a right longitudinal beam 84, an automobile beam 85 and reinforcing rib 86, and each component is connected with each other to form stable car frame structure 8. The frame body of the present invention is the car frame structure 8 in this embodiment, the whole frame body is an elastic frame, and the bearing component constituting the frame body comprises the front anti-collision beam 81, the back anti-collision beam 82, the left longitudinal beam 83, the right longitudinal beam 84, the automobile beam 85 and the reinforcing rib 86 etc., these bearing components are all in the form of an arc or a wavy curve, so that the car frame structure 8 has stronger elasticity. The whole frame body (namely the car frame structure of this embodiment) is made of the elastic material.
The elastic material is made from one or more of the following material: spring steel, elastic stainless steel, titanium alloy, alloy steel foamed metal, honeycomb metal, carbon fiber, aramid fiber, basalt fiber, PBO fiber, quartz fiber, Kevlar fiber, caprone fiber, ultra high molecular weight polyethylene fiber, graphite fiber, silicon carbide fiber, boron fiber, modified nature rubber, butyl rubber, nitrile rubber buna (NBR), chloroprene rubber, silicone rubber, polyurethane (PU), polycarbonate (PC), polyamide (PA), polyacetal (Polyoxy Methylene, POM), modified polyphenyl ether (denatured PPE), polyester (PETP, PBTP), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), polyaryl ether, unsaturated polyester, phenol plastic, epoxy plastic, fluoride plastic, silicon melt compound, polyamideimide (PAD, polyimide, polybismaleimide, polysulfone (PSF), polyether sulfones (PES), propylene plastic, modified melamine plastic, poly(ether-ether-ketone) (PEEK), Polyetherimide (PEI) and liquid crystal plastic.
This embodiment is to cushion, disperse and transfer the impact force by utilizing specially designed car frame structure 8, thereby reducing the impact force transferred to the driving room and achieving the purpose of protecting personnel inside the automobiles. The most important thing is to protect security of personnel inside the automobiles in car crash, so it is better to ensure smaller deformation of driving room, and it is considered for design of existing automobiles, during car crash, a part of mechanism is collapsed firstly to absorb the impact energy, thereby reducing the impact force transferred to the driving room. The structure is in front and end of automobiles, the anti-impact of car body side mainly depends on strength of anti-impact beam of car door or lateral security air bag. In this embodiment of the present invention, the elastic structure anti-impact frame body has stronger elastic deformation performance, and also cushions and absorbs the impact energy by deformation of car body, however, it is different with collapsing mechanism of existing automobiles. The anti-impact collapsing mechanism of automobiles is an irreversible deformation, after the automobile is under impact, unrecoverable plastic deformation of the car body is occurred, in fact, collapsing structure is a measure to sacrifice the car body to obtain personal security. However, the elastic structure anti-impact frame body applied to automobiles of the present invention also has deformation performance, however, it is a reversible deformation. When automobiles are under impact from the front and the back, the front anti-impact beam 81 or the back anti-impact beam 82 occurs deformation firstly to cushion and absorb partial energy, and transfer the impact force to the left longitudinal beam 83 and right longitudinal beam 84, so that the left longitudinal beam 83 and right longitudinal beam 84 occur deformation to further cushion the energy, and greatly reduce the impact force transferred to the driving room. Safe flexible space during impact is fully considered in automobile design, so that car body returns to original shape when releasing energy. When the impact force is lost, deformed left longitudinal beam 83 and right longitudinal beam 84 return to original shape under elastic restoring force, not affecting appearance and use, and heavy maintenance is not needed after collision.
In this embodiment, parts of component structure of the whole frame body (only automobile crossbeam or longitudinal beam) are made into arc-shapes or curvy wave-shapes by the elastic material, so that only cross direction or longitudinal direction has preferred elastic performance, and anti-impact ability is increased at specified direction, which forms an integral elastic frame body structure.

When automobiles are under impact force front and back, larger elastic deformation can be produced and energy can be absorbed more effectively.
The effect of this embodiment is the same with embodiment 6, and it is not repeated herein. Besides, embodiment 6 and embodiment 7 can be applied to design for the same automobile, so that the whole and local elastic anti-impact frame body structure can be combined effectively.
