Abstract
A vehicle framework structure includes: a framework body portion extending in a vehicle front-rear direction in a vehicle end portion in a vehicle width direction, the framework body portion forming a closed section by an inner panel constituting an inner part of the framework body portion in the vehicle width direction and an outer panel constituting an outer part of the framework body portion in the vehicle width direction; and a reinforcing member placed inside the closed section of the framework body portion, the reinforcing member including a body portion inclined from the vehicle front-rear direction and provided over the inner panel and the outer panel, and a flange portion extending from an outer peripheral edge of the body portion and joined to the inner panel and the outer panel.
Claims8
A vehicle framework structure, comprising:
- a framework body portion extending in a vehicle front-rear direction in a vehicle end portion in a vehicle width direction, the framework body portion comprising:
- a first panel, and
- a second panel,
- wherein opposite sides of the first panel are joined to corresponding opposite sides of the second panel to form a closed section which is surrounded by the first panel and the second panel;
- and
- a reinforcing member placed inside the closed section of the framework body portion to be surrounded by the first panel and the second panel, the reinforcing member including:
- a body portion which, in a top plan view in a vehicle up-down direction, extends from an inner side of the framework body portion in the vehicle width direction to an outer side of the framework body portion in the vehicle width direction, while being inclined from both the vehicle front-rear direction and the vehicle width direction, and
- a flange portion extending from an outer peripheral edge of the body portion and joined to the framework body portion at the inner side and the outer side of the framework body portion.
A vehicle framework structure, comprising:
- a framework body portion extending in a vehicle front-rear direction in a vehicle end portion in a vehicle width direction, the framework body portion comprising:
- a first panel, and
- a second panel,
- wherein opposite sides of the first panel are joined to corresponding opposite sides of the second panel to form a closed section;
- and
- a reinforcing member placed inside the closed section of the framework body portion, the reinforcing member including:
- a body portion inclined from the vehicle front-rear direction and provided over the first panel and the second panel, and
- a flange portion extending from an outer peripheral edge of the body portion, wherein
- the flange portion includes an inner flange on an inner side of the body portion in the vehicle width direction, and an outer flange on an outer side of the body portion in the vehicle width direction,
- either one of the inner flange and the outer flange forms an obtuse angle with respect to the body portion and is joined to the framework body portion, and
- the other one of the inner flange and the outer flange forms an acute angle with respect to the body portion and is joined to the framework body portion.
A vehicle framework structure, comprising:
- a framework body portion extending in a vehicle front-rear direction in a vehicle end portion in a vehicle width direction, the framework body portion comprising:
- a first panel, and
- a second panel,
- wherein opposite sides of the first panel are joined to corresponding opposite sides of the second panel to form a closed section;
- and
- a reinforcing member placed inside the closed section of the framework body portion, the reinforcing member including:
- a body portion inclined from the vehicle front-rear direction and provided over the first panel and the second panel, and
- a flange portion extending from an outer peripheral edge of the body portion, wherein
- the flange portion includes a lower flange on a lower side of the body portion in a vehicle up-down direction, and an upper flange on an upper side of the body portion in the vehicle up-down direction,
- either one of the lower flange and the upper flange forms an obtuse angle with respect to the body portion and is joined to the framework body portion, and
- the other one of the lower flange and the upper flange forms an acute angle with respect to the body portion and is joined to the framework body portion.
