Abstract

Claims (29)

1. A lower vehicle-body structure comprising:

a floor cross member coupling a side sill disposed on an outer side in a vehicle width direction of a vehicle body to a floor tunnel disposed in a center in the vehicle width direction of the vehicle body;

seat brackets disposed to have the floor cross member therebetween in a vehicle front-rear direction at both ends in the vehicle width direction of the floor cross member, and coupled to the side sill and the floor tunnel, respectively; and

a floor frame extending in the vehicle front-rear direction and disposed on a floor panel, wherein

at least portions of the seat brackets are disposed at positions to overlap with the floor frame in a planar view.

2. The lower vehicle-body structure according to claim 1 , wherein

the floor frame is disposed on a lower surface of the floor panel and has intersections intersecting with the floor cross member, and

the floor frame is coupled at the intersections to the floor cross member via the floor panel.

3. The lower vehicle-body structure according to claim 2 , wherein

the floor frame includes a first floor frame disposed closer to the side sill and a second floor frame disposed closer to the floor tunnel,

the seat brackets include first seat brackets coupled to the side sill and second seat brackets coupled to the floor tunnel,

the first seat brackets are disposed at positions to overlap with the first floor frame in a planar view,

the second seat brackets are disposed at positions to overlap with the second floor frame in a planar view, and

the first floor frame and the second floor frame intersect with the floor cross member at the intersections, respectively.

4. The lower vehicle-body structure according to claim 3 , wherein

the first floor frame has a bent portion which is bent inward in the vehicle width direction on a front side of the floor cross member, and

the first seat bracket is coupled to the bent portion.

5. The lower vehicle-body structure according to claim 2 , wherein

the floor frame has flanges to be coupled to the floor panel, and

the seat brackets are disposed at positions to overlap with the flanges in a planar view and are coupled the flanges via the floor panel.

6. The lower vehicle-body structure according to claim 3 , further comprising a pillar extending upward from the side sill, wherein

the first seat bracket on a rear side of the floor cross member is disposed at a position to overlap in the vehicle front-rear direction with the pillar, and

the first seat bracket on a front side of the floor cross member, is disposed on a front side of the pillar.

7. The lower vehicle-body structure according to claim 2 , further comprising a pillar extending upward from the side sill, wherein

at least a portion of the floor cross member is disposed at a position to overlap in the vehicle front-rear direction with a front end in the vehicle front-rear direction of the pillar.

8. The lower vehicle-body structure according to claim 5 , wherein an inner wall, on an inner side in the vehicle width direction of the seat bracket, extends along a flange of the floor frame, in the vehicle front-rear direction.

9. The lower vehicle-body structure according to claim 2 , wherein

the seat brackets each have a seat portion on which an attached seat is seated, and an inclined portion inclined downward from the seat portion, and

the seat portions are coupled to the side sill and the floor tunnel via the inclined portions, respectively.
