Vehicle body structure
View Patent ↗The present invention is a vehicle body structure, including: a pair of side members disposed under a vehicle cabin where front seats and a rear seat are disposed on both sides in a vehicle width direction and extending along a vehicle front-rear direction; a front seat cross member provided so as to extend along the vehicle width direction on a lower side of the front seats and coupling together the side members; a rear seat cross member provided so as to extend along the vehicle width direction on a lower side of the rear seat and coupling together the side members on a rear side of the front seat cross member; and coupling members provided so as to extend along the vehicle front-rear direction further on an inner side in the vehicle width direction than the side members and coupling together the front seat cross member and the rear seat cross member, wherein the front seat cross member and the rear seat cross member have a branch structure, with portions thereof on both end sides in the vehicle width direction each forked into a front-side branch and a rear-side branch in the vehicle front-rear direction.
1. A vehicle body structure, comprising:
a pair of side members disposed under a vehicle cabin where a front seat and a rear seat are disposed on both sides in a vehicle width direction and extending along a vehicle front-rear direction;
a front seat cross member provided so as to extend along the vehicle width direction on a lower side of the front seat and coupling together the side members;
a rear seat cross member provided so as to extend along the vehicle width direction on a lower side of the rear seat and coupling together the side members on a rear side of the front seat cross member; and
coupling members provided so as to extend along the vehicle front-rear direction further on an inner side in the vehicle width direction than the side members and coupling together the front seat cross member and the rear seat cross member, wherein
the front seat cross member and the rear seat cross member have a branch structure, with portions thereof on both end sides in the vehicle width direction each forked into a front-side branch and a rear-side branch in the vehicle front-rear direction.
2. The vehicle body structure according to claim 1 , wherein the coupling members couple together a base portion at which the front seat cross member is branched and a base portion at which the rear seat cross member is branched.
3. The vehicle body structure according to claim 1 , wherein
a lower part of the vehicle cabin has a backbone provided so as to extend in the vehicle front-rear direction at a center in the vehicle width direction, and
the front seat cross member and the rear seat cross member are branched on both outer sides in the vehicle width direction of the backbone, and the coupling members are provided so as to extend in the vehicle front-rear direction along both sides in the vehicle width direction of the backbone.
4. The vehicle body structure according to claim 2 , wherein
a lower part of the vehicle cabin has a backbone provided so as to extend in the vehicle front-rear direction at a center in the vehicle width direction, and
the front seat cross member and the rear seat cross member are branched on both outer sides in the vehicle width direction of the backbone, and the coupling members are provided so as to extend in the vehicle front-rear direction along both sides in the vehicle width direction of the backbone.
5. The vehicle body structure according to claim 1 , wherein an end of the rear-side branch of the front seat cross member and an end of the front-side branch of the rear seat cross member are coupled together.
6. The vehicle body structure according to claim 2 , wherein an end of the rear-side branch of the front seat cross member and an end of the front-side branch of the rear seat cross member are coupled together.
7. The vehicle body structure according to claim 3 , wherein an end of the rear-side branch of the front seat cross member and an end of the front-side branch of the rear seat cross member are coupled together.
8. The vehicle body structure according to claim 4 , wherein an end of the rear-side branch of the front seat cross member and an end of the front-side branch of the rear seat cross member are coupled together.
