Abstract

An embodiment rear floor side member assembly includes a rear side member including a rear inner portion disposed toward an inside of a vehicle body, a rear upper portion curved toward an outside of the vehicle body from the rear inner portion, and a rear lower portion curved from the rear inner portion toward the outside of the vehicle body, a reinforcement mounting portion formed on the rear lower portion, a rear side member reinforcement mounted on the reinforcement mounting portion, and a rear spring seat assembly mounted at a bottom part of the rear side member reinforcement.

Claims (62)

1. A rear floor side member assembly comprising:

a rear side member including a rear inner portion disposed toward an inside of a vehicle body, a rear upper portion curved toward an outside of the vehicle body from the rear inner portion, and a rear lower portion curved from the rear inner portion toward the outside of the vehicle body;

a reinforcement mounting portion formed on the rear lower portion;

a rear side member reinforcement mounted on the reinforcement mounting portion;

an insertion hole formed in the rear side member reinforcement;

a rear spring seat assembly pipe reinforcement;

a pipe connection portion formed in the rear spring seat assembly pipe reinforcement; and

a rear spring seat assembly mounted at a bottom part of the rear side member reinforcement, wherein the rear spring seat assembly comprises a rear spring seat assembly pipe protruding in an upper direction, inserted in the insertion hole, and inserted into and coupled to the pipe connection portion.

2. The rear floor side member assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a seat rail mounted on an upper part of the rear upper portion.

3. The rear floor side member assembly of claim 1 , wherein the rear side member further comprises a rear side member outer panel coupled with the rear upper portion and the rear lower portion.

4. The rear floor side member assembly of claim 3 , wherein the rear side member further comprises:

a rear upper portion flange bent from the rear upper portion to be coupled with the rear side member outer panel; and

a rear lower portion flange bent from the rear lower portion to be coupled with the rear side member outer panel.

5. The rear floor side member assembly of claim 1 , wherein the rear side member reinforcement includes a rear spring seat assembly connection portion, wherein the rear spring seat assembly is mounted on the rear spring seat assembly connection portion.

6. The rear floor side member assembly of claim 1 , wherein the rear side member reinforcement includes a reinforcement inner flange portion bent to couple with the rear inner portion.

7. The rear floor side member assembly of claim 1 , wherein the rear spring seat assembly pipe reinforcement supports the rear spring seat assembly pipe and is mounted between the rear upper portion and the rear side member reinforcement.

8. The rear floor side member assembly of claim 1 , wherein:

the rear upper portion is bent vertically at a right angle from the rear inner portion; and

the rear lower portion is curved at an obtuse angle from the rear inner portion.

9. The rear floor side member assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a forming portion formed along a length direction between the rear upper portion and the rear inner portion.

10. A rear floor side member assembly comprising:

a rear side member comprising:

a rear inner portion disposed toward an inside of a vehicle body;

a rear upper portion curved toward an outside of the vehicle body from the rear inner portion;

a rear lower portion curved from the rear inner portion toward the outside of the vehicle body; and

a rear side member outer panel coupled with the rear upper portion and the rear lower portion;

a reinforcement mounting portion formed on the rear lower portion;

a rear side member reinforcement mounted on the reinforcement mounting portion, wherein an insertion hole is formed in the rear side member reinforcement, and wherein the rear side member reinforcement comprises:

a rear spring seat assembly connection portion; and

a reinforcement surface curved along a shape of the rear spring seat assembly connection portion;

a rear spring seat assembly pipe reinforcement;

a pipe connection portion formed in the rear spring seat assembly pipe reinforcement; and

a rear spring seat assembly mounted at a bottom part of the rear side member reinforcement, wherein the rear spring seat assembly comprises a rear spring seat assembly pipe protruding in an upper direction, inserted in the insertion hole, and inserted into and coupled to the pipe connection portion.

11. The rear floor side member assembly of claim 10 , wherein the rear side member outer panel includes a reinforcement surface connection portion formed along a shape of the reinforcement surface.

12. The rear floor side member assembly of claim 11 , further comprising:

a wheel housing connected with the rear side member; and

a wheel housing reinforcement coupled along the wheel housing from the reinforcement surface connection portion.

13. A vehicle comprising:
