Abstract
A vehicle body front part structure includes: a pair of right and left front side frames each extending in a vehicle front-rear direction; a pair of right and left upper members each extending in the vehicle front-rear direction at respective outer sides in a vehicle width direction of the pair of right and left front side frames; and a pair of right and left lower members each located at a vehicle front side of each of the upper members and each allowing a vehicle front side end part thereof to be coupled to each of the front side frames. In the vehicle body front part structure, each of the lower members is composed of a pipe member, and the vehicle front side end part of each of the lower members linearly extends in an up-down direction.
Claims3
A vehicle body front part structure comprising:
- a pair of right and left front side frames each extending in a vehicle front-rear direction;
- a pair of right and left upper members each extending in the vehicle front-rear direction at respective outer sides in a vehicle width direction of the pair of right and left front side frames;
- a pair of right and left lower members each located at a vehicle front side of each of the upper members and each allowing a vehicle front side end part thereof to be coupled to each of the front side frames;
- and
- a coupling member provided on a vehicle front side end part of each of the front side frames and coupled to a front bumper mechanism,
- wherein
- each of the lower members is composed of a pipe member, and the vehicle front side end part of each of the lower members extends in an up-down direction,
- each of the lower members includes a first bent section that is bent inward in the vehicle width direction from a vehicle rear side end part of each of the lower members, and a second bent section that is located nearer the vehicle front side than the first bent section and bent downward, and the second bent section is located at a more upper side than the coupling member, and
- the vehicle body front part structure further comprises:
- a first bulkhead adapted to fix the vehicle rear side end part of each of the lower members to each of the upper members;
- a second bulkhead disposed in each of the front side frames so as to overlap the first bulkhead in the up-down direction in side view;
- and
- another coupling member disposed at a location where the first bulkhead and the second bulkhead overlap each other in the up-down direction in side view.
