Abstract
The vehicle body structure including an inner rein coupled to a first portion of a vibration source in a vehicle and a component constituting a vehicle body; an outer rein coupled to the component and a second portion different from the first portion of the vibration source; and a damping structure arranged between the inner rein and the outer rein and configured to dampen vibrations transmitted along the inner rein and the outer rein, wherein the inner rein includes a portion that interrupts transmission of the vibration transmitted along the inner rein, and is connected to the second reinforcing member via the damping structure.
Claims19
A vehicle body structure comprising:
- a first reinforcing member coupled to a first portion of a vibration source in a vehicle and a component constituting a vehicle body;
- a second reinforcing member coupled to the component and a second portion different from the first portion of the vibration source;
- a meeting section where vibration transmitted along the first reinforcing member and vibration transmitted along the second reinforcing member meet;
- and
- a damping section arranged in the meeting section and configured to dampen the vibrations transmitted along the first reinforcing member and the second reinforcing member, wherein
- the first reinforcing member has an interrupting section that interrupts transmission of the vibration transmitted along the first reinforcing member in an intermediate portion of the meeting section, and is connected to the second reinforcing member via the damping section.
A vehicle body structure comprising:
- an inner rein coupled to a first portion of a vibration source in a vehicle and a component constituting a vehicle body;
- an outer rein coupled to the component and a second portion different from the first portion of the vibration source;
- and
- a damping structure arranged between the inner rein and the outer rein and configured to dampen vibrations transmitted along the inner rein and the outer rein, wherein
- the inner rein includes a portion that interrupts transmission of the vibration transmitted along the inner rein, and is connected to the second reinforcing member via the damping structure.
A vehicle comprising:
- a body structure including
- an inner rein coupled to a first portion of a vibration source in a vehicle and a component constituting a vehicle body;
- an outer rein coupled to the component and a second portion different from the first portion of the vibration source;
- and
- a damping structure arranged between the inner rein and the outer rein and configured to dampen vibrations transmitted along the inner rein and the outer rein, wherein
- the inner rein includes a portion that interrupts transmission of the vibration transmitted along the inner rein, and is connected to the second reinforcing member via the damping structure.
