Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve rigidity at a connected part between a front side member and a floor side member. SOLUTION: An opening part 4 is formed at the butt-joint part of a front side member 2 in a dashboard lower panel 3. A floor side panel 5 is jointed onto the cabin side faces of a floor panel 6 and the dashboard lower panel 3, over both panels 3, 6, and the front edge part of the floor side panel 5 is jointed being fitted into the rear end part of the front side member 2 through the opening part 4. The vertical offset quantity of the front side member 2 and floor side member 5 is thereby reduced. In addition, the front side member 2 and the floor side member 5 are directly connected to each other, and the upper walls 2A, 5A of the respective members 2, 5 to be the input center at the time of a head-on collision are continuous from each other so as to heighten rigidity.

Moreover, since the floor panel 6 is formed by dropping the floor panel 6 downward in an arbitrary range centering on the cross-joining portion between the floor side member 5 and the cross member 8, the cross member 8 is formed. The closed cross-sectional area can be enlarged, side collision measures can be taken more thoroughly, and a decrease in the closed cross-sectional area of the floor side member 5 can be avoided to ensure rigidity.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the floor side member is arranged so as to be joined to the floor panel and the dash lower panel on the side surface of the passenger compartment, and the front end thereof is passed through the opening of the dash lower panel to the rear end of the front side member. Since the front side member and the floor side member are fitted and joined to each other in the vertical direction, the vertical offset amount between the front side member and the floor side member can be made as small as possible, and the front side member and the floor side member are directly connected, And since the upper walls of these members, which are the center of collision input, are continuous,
The rigidity of the connecting portion between the front side member and the floor side member is increased, and a collision input can be satisfactorily transmitted from the front side member to the floor side member during a frontal collision of the vehicle.

As a result, it is possible to avoid the bending deformation at the connecting portion of the front side member and the floor side member at the time of a frontal collision of the vehicle, to promote the proper crush deformation of the front side member and to enhance the cushioning performance. The safety can be further improved.

According to the second aspect, a reinforcement is provided inside the floor side member along the upper wall of the front end and the rear end of the front side member over the fitting and joining portions thereof. By arranging them jointly, these upper walls that are the input center in the case of a frontal collision are reinforced, and since these upper walls are continuous with a gently curved surface to prevent stress concentration, it is possible to reduce stress concentration. The rigidity of the portion connected to the member can be further increased.

According to the third aspect of the invention, since the floor side member is arranged so as to intersect with the cross member which is arranged so as to be joined in the vehicle width direction on the floor panel surface in an orthogonal state, the intermediate portion of the cross member is arranged at the floor. The side members can be reinforced to increase the rigidity of the cross member, and a side collision of the vehicle can be prevented without using a dedicated reinforcing member. Therefore, cost reduction and weight reduction of the vehicle body can be realized.

According to the fourth aspect, since the recess is formed in the portion where the floor side member and the cross member of the floor panel intersect and are coupled to each other, the closed cross-sectional area of the cross member and / or the floor side member is sufficient. This can be ensured, and the rigidity of the cross member and the floor side member can be increased.
