Abstract

There is provided a vehicle floor portion structure having: a floor panel; a tunnel portion that projects-out toward a vehicle upper side at a vehicle transverse direction central portion of the floor panel; a cross member that is bridged, along a vehicle transverse direction, between the tunnel portion and a rocker that is at a vehicle transverse direction outer side of the floor panel; a bracket that is disposed so as to be apart from the cross member in a vehicle longitudinal direction, and whose bottom portion is fixed to the floor panel, and whose side portion is fixed to a side wall portion of the tunnel portion or the rocker, and a seat is fixed to the bracket; and a reinforcement that is provided at an upper portion of the tunnel portion or the rocker, and to which an upper portion of the bracket is joined.

Claims (23)

1. A vehicle floor portion structure comprising:

a floor panel that structures a floor portion of a vehicle;

a tunnel portion that extends in a vehicle longitudinal direction at a vehicle transverse direction central portion of the floor panel, and that projects-out toward a vehicle vertical direction upper side;

a cross member that is bridged, along a vehicle transverse direction, between the tunnel portion and a rocker that extends in the vehicle longitudinal direction at a vehicle transverse direction outer side of the floor panel;

a bracket that is disposed so as to be apart from the cross member in the vehicle longitudinal direction, whose bottom portion is fixed to the floor panel, and whose side portion is fixed to a side wall portion of the tunnel portion, a length, in the vehicle longitudinal direction, between a front wall and a rear wall at a bottom portion side of the bracket being structured to be longer than a length, in the vehicle longitudinal direction, between the front wall and the rear wall at an upper portion side of the bracket, and the bracket being configured to be fixed to a seat; and

a reinforcement that is provided at an upper portion of the tunnel portion, and to which an upper portion of the bracket is joined.

2. The vehicle floor portion structure of claim 1 , wherein the upper portion of the bracket is joined to a position that extends over a ridgeline portion that is a border between a side wall portion and an upper wall portion at the tunnel portion.

3. The vehicle floor portion structure of claim 1 , wherein:

the reinforcement is an on-tunnel reinforcement that is provided at an upper portion of the tunnel portion,

the side portion of the bracket is joined to a side wall portion of the tunnel portion, and the upper portion of the bracket is joined to the on-tunnel reinforcement.

4. A vehicle floor portion structure comprising:

a floor panel that structures a floor portion of a vehicle;

a tunnel portion that extends in a vehicle longitudinal direction at a vehicle transverse direction central portion of the floor panel, and that projects-out toward a vehicle vertical direction upper side;

a cross member that is bridged, along a vehicle transverse direction, between the tunnel portion and a rocker that extends in the vehicle longitudinal direction at a vehicle transverse direction outer side of the floor panel;

a bracket that is disposed so as to be apart from the cross member in the vehicle longitudinal direction, whose bottom portion is fixed to the floor panel, and whose side portion is fixed to a side wall portion of the rocker, a length, in the vehicle longitudinal direction, between a front wall and a rear wall at a bottom portion side of the bracket being structured to be longer than a length, in the vehicle longitudinal direction, between the front wall and the rear wall at an upper portion side of the bracket, and the bracket being configured to be fixed to a seat; and

a reinforcement that is provided at an upper portion of the rocker, and to which an upper portion of the bracket is joined,

wherein the bracket includes:

an upper wall portion that connects an upper end portion of the front wall, an upper end portion of the rear wall, and an upper end portion of a side wall; and

an inclined portion that extends from the upper wall portion toward a vehicle width direction outer side and a vehicle vertical direction lower side, and

wherein a joining portion is fixed to the rocker at lower portion of the inclined portion.

5. The vehicle floor portion structure of claim 4 , wherein:

the reinforcement is an on-rocker reinforcement that is provided at an upper portion of the rocker,

the side portion of the bracket is joined to a side wall portion of the rocker, and the upper portion of the bracket is joined to the on-rocker reinforcement.
