20250144992
This application is based on and claims priority under 35 USC 119 from Japanese Patent Application No. 2023-191139, filed on Nov. 8, 2023, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein.
The present disclosure relates to a vehicle front portion structure.
Japanese Patent Application Laid-open (JP-A) No. 2004-224104 discloses a vehicle front portion structure. In this structure, the vehicle front portion is provided with a dash crossmember that extends in the vehicle width direction and a sub-frame (suspension member) whose rear end portion is secured to the undersurface of the dash crossmember. Moreover, the vehicle front portion is provided with a left and right pair of extension side members that extend in the vehicle front and rear direction and are joined to a left and right pair of front side members. Both end portions of the dash crossmember are joined to the left and right pair of extension side members. The left and right pair of extension side members extend along both vehicle width direction sides of a floor panel of a cabin.
According to JP-A No. 2004-224104, at the time of a frontal impact to the vehicle, the impact load is transmitted from the left and right pair of front side members to the left and right pair of extension side members. Furthermore, the impact load is transmitted from the suspension member to the dash crossmember. The load transmitted to the dash crossmember is dispersed to the pair of extension side members. In this way, in JP-A No. 2004-224104, by dispersing the impact load at the time of a frontal impact to the vehicle, deformation of the cabin is inhibited.
In this connection, electric cars having a battery arranged under the cabin are known. In the case of such electric cars, it is necessary to consider dispersal of the impact load not only with respect to the cabin as in the related art but also the battery. Namely, it is desired to protect the battery from shock at the time of a frontal impact and protect the cabin by dispersing the impact load input to the vehicle front portion.
The present disclosure provides a vehicle front portion structure which, in an electric car having a battery disposed under the cabin, can protect the battery from shock at the time of a frontal impact and protect the cabin by dispersing the impact load input to the vehicle front portion.
A vehicle front portion structure of a first aspect includes: a battery crossmember that is disposed at a vehicle front side of a battery arranged under a cabin and that extends in a vehicle width direction; and a suspension member that is disposed at a vehicle front side of the battery crossmember and that is connected at its rear end side to the battery crossmember.
According to the vehicle front portion structure of the first aspect, the suspension member is connected at its rear end side to the battery crossmember. For this reason, the impact load input to the suspension member at the time of a frontal impact to the vehicle is transmitted to the battery crossmember. Because the battery crossmember extends in the vehicle width direction, the impact load input to the battery crossmember is dispersed along the vehicle width direction. It will be noted that “frontal impact” here is a concept including not only a full overlap frontal impact (a head-on impact) but also an offset impact, an oblique impact, and a small overlap impact. Furthermore, “connected” here is a concept including not only a case where the suspension member is directly connected to the battery crossmember but also a case where it is indirectly connected via another member.
Here, the battery crossmember is disposed on the vehicle front side of the battery. At the time of a frontal impact to the vehicle, the battery crossmember receives the impact load and directs the impact load in the vehicle width direction, so direct input of the impact load to the battery is avoided. Thus, the impact load input to the battery is reduced compared with a vehicle front portion structure that does not have the battery crossmember.
Furthermore, the battery crossmember is positioned under the cabin, so the impact load is dispersed in the vehicle width direction under the cabin. Because of this, the impact load at the time of a frontal impact input from the suspension member to vehicle frame members that reinforce the cabin, such as pillars, is reduced.
A vehicle front portion structure of a second aspect is the first aspect, wherein the suspension member is connected to a vehicle front-side surface of the battery crossmember.
According to the vehicle front portion structure of the second aspect, the rear end side of the suspension member is connected to the vehicle front-side surface of the battery crossmember, so the impact load input to the suspension member is input to the vehicle front-side surface of the battery crossmember. For this reason, the distance from the battery to the load input point (site) becomes longer. Furthermore, the impact load transmitted from the vehicle front side in the vehicle rearward direction at the time of a frontal impact is input to the battery crossmember in the shortest distance because it is input from the vehicle front-side surface to the battery crossmember.
A vehicle front portion structure of a third aspect is the first aspect, wherein the rear end side of the suspension member is directly secured to the battery crossmember.
According to the vehicle front portion structure of the third aspect, the impact load at the time of a frontal impact input to the suspension member is directly transmitted to the battery crossmember.
A vehicle front portion structure of a fourth aspect is the second aspect, wherein the suspension member has a left and right pair of side portions that extend in a vehicle front and rear direction, flange portions are formed at rear end sides of the left and right pair of side portions, and the suspension member is secured at the flange portions to the vehicle front-side surface of the battery crossmember.
According to the vehicle front portion structure of the fourth aspect, the impact load at the time of a frontal impact is transmitted in the vehicle rearward direction using the side portions extending in the vehicle front and rear direction as load paths. The impact load traveling from the side portions in the vehicle rearward direction is transmitted to the battery crossmember via the surfaces of the flange portions formed on the rear end sides of the side portions.
A vehicle front portion structure of a fifth aspect is the fourth aspect, wherein the flange portions extend in the vehicle width direction from the rear end sides of the left and right pair of side portions.
According to the vehicle front portion structure of the fifth aspect, the battery crossmember extends in the vehicle width direction, and the flange portions extend in the same direction as the direction in which the battery crossmember extends. Thus, the impact load dispersed outward in the vehicle width direction in the flange portions is transmitted to the battery crossmember, and inside the battery crossmember also the impact load is dispersed in the same direction as is.
A vehicle front portion structure of a sixth aspect is the first aspect, wherein a rear portion of the suspension member is joined to a dash crossmember that extends in the vehicle width direction.
According to the vehicle front portion structure of the sixth aspect, the impact load at the time of a frontal impact is dispersed from the suspension member not only to the battery crossmember but also to the dash crossmember.
A vehicle front portion structure of a seventh aspect is the first aspect, wherein the battery crossmember is joined to a dash crossmember that extends in the vehicle width direction.
According to the vehicle front portion structure of the seventh aspect, the impact load at the time of a frontal impact input from the suspension member to the battery crossmember is transmitted to the dash crossmember.
A vehicle front portion structure of an eighth aspect is the sixth aspect or the seventh aspect, wherein the dash crossmember is joined to front portions of a left and right pair of rockers that extend in a vehicle front and rear direction at both vehicle width direction sides of a vehicle body floor.
According to the vehicle front portion structure of the eighth aspect, at the time of a frontal impact, the impact load input from the suspension member or the battery crossmember to the dash crossmember is dispersed to the left and right pair of rockers disposed on both vehicle width direction sides of the vehicle body floor.
A vehicle front portion structure of a ninth aspect is the sixth aspect or the seventh aspect, wherein the vehicle front portion structure further has a left and right pair of front side members that extend in the vehicle front and rear direction on both vehicle width direction sides of the vehicle front portion, and the dash crossmember is joined to rear portions of the left and right pair of front side members.
According to the vehicle front portion structure of the ninth aspect, the impact load input from the vehicle front side to the front side members at the time of a frontal impact is transmitted to the dash crossmember joined to the rear portions of the front side members. Particularly in the case of an offset impact, an oblique impact, and a small overlap impact, the impact load is to a great extent input to one of the front side members. At this time, the impact load input to the front side members is transmitted from one side in the vehicle width direction to the other side along the dash crossmember and the battery crossmember joined to the dash crossmember. Thus, the impact load is not borne by just the one side of the vehicle that has been impacted.
A vehicle front portion structure of a tenth aspect is the ninth aspect, wherein the left and right pair of front side members and the dash crossmember are integrally molded.
According to the vehicle front portion structure of the tenth aspect, the impact load input to the front side members is efficiently dispersed to the integrally molded dash crossmember.
A vehicle front portion structure of an eleventh aspect is the first aspect, wherein the battery crossmember configures part of a battery case housing the battery.
According to the vehicle front portion structure of the eleventh aspect, the impact load input to the battery crossmember is dispersed to the entire battery case housing the battery. A vehicle front portion structure of a twelfth aspect is the fourth aspect, wherein the vehicle front portion structure further has a left and right pair of battery side members that extend in a vehicle rearward direction from both vehicle width direction end portions of the battery crossmember, and the left and right pair of side portions are secured to the battery crossmember in positions closer to the battery side members than to a vehicle width direction center of the battery crossmember.
According to the vehicle front portion structure of the twelfth aspect, the side portions of the suspension member are secured to the battery crossmember in positions close to the battery side members. Thus, the impact load transmitted from the suspension member to the battery crossmember is dispersed to the left and right battery side members by short load paths.
The vehicle front portion structure of the first aspect can, in an electric car having a battery disposed under the cabin, protect the battery from shock at the time of a frontal impact and protect the cabin by dispersing the impact load input to the vehicle front portion.
The vehicle front portion structure of the second aspect can further inhibit shock at the time of a frontal impact from traveling to the battery and can efficiently transmit to the battery crossmember the impact load traveling from the vehicle front side in the vehicle rearward direction.
The vehicle front portion structure of the third aspect can efficiently disperse an impact load to the battery crossmember compared with a case where the rear end side of the suspension member is joined via another member to the battery crossmember.
The vehicle front portion structure of the fourth aspect can efficiently disperse an impact load via the surfaces of the flange portions to the battery crossmember.
The vehicle front portion structure of the fifth aspect can efficiently transmit an impact load in the vehicle width direction to the battery crossmember.
The vehicle front portion structure of the sixth aspect can ensure multiple load paths from the suspension member for an impact load at the time of a frontal impact.
The vehicle front portion structure of the seventh aspect can further reduce shock to the battery by transferring an impact load from the battery crossmember to the dash crossmember.
The vehicle front portion structure of the eighth aspect can reduce the amount of an impact load input to the cabin.
The vehicle front portion structure of the ninth aspect can disperse to the opposite side of the vehicle an impact load input to one of the front side members at the time of an offset impact, an oblique impact, and a small overlap impact.

The vehicle front portion structure of the eleventh aspect can widely disperse an impact load input to the vehicle front portion using the entire battery case as a load path.
The vehicle front portion structure of the twelfth aspect can inhibit an impact load transmitted from the suspension member to the battery crossmember from being input to the battery and the cabin.
An exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail based on the following figures, wherein:
A vehicle front portion structure pertaining to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described below using
The vehicle front portion structure is configured to include a left and right pair of front side members 24 that extend in the vehicle front and rear direction on both vehicle width direction sides and a dash crossmember 26 that intercouples in the vehicle width direction the rear end portions of the left and right pair of front side members 24. The left and right pair of battery side members 20 are disposed more outward in the vehicle width direction than the left and right pair of front side members 24. Furthermore, the battery crossmember 22 is disposed on the vehicle lower side of the dash crossmember 26 (see
Furthermore, on both width direction end portions of the later described floor panel 46 of the vehicle 12, a left and right pair of rockers 28 are disposed. The left and right pair of rockers 28 extend in the vehicle front and rear direction on the vehicle width direction outer sides of the left and right pair of battery side members 20. The dash crossmember 26 intercouples in the vehicle width direction the front end portions of the left and right pair of rockers 28. It will be noted that in
Moreover, the front portion 13 of the vehicle 12 is provided with a suspension member 30 on which inner ends of suspension arms (not illustrated in the drawings) are swingably supported. The suspension member 30 is disposed on the vehicle width direction inner side of the left and right pair of front side members 24 as viewed in a plan view and is disposed on the vehicle lower side of the front side members 24 as viewed in a side view.
The suspension member 30 includes a left and right pair of side portions 32 that extend in the vehicle front and rear direction on both vehicle width direction sides. The left and right pair of side portions 32 are disposed on the vehicle front side of the battery crossmember 22 at substantially the same height as the battery crossmember 22 and on the vehicle lower side of the dash crossmember 26. The left and right pair of side portions 32 are configured to be bilaterally symmetrical, so in the following description the side portion 32 on the vehicle right side will be described and description of the side portion 32 on the vehicle left side will be omitted.
The side portion 32 is formed in the shape of a polygonal tube having a substantially rectangular closed cross-section as viewed from the vehicle front and rear direction. On the rear end portion of the side portion 32 is formed a left and right pair of flange portions 34. The flange portion 34 on the right side extends in the vehicle rightward direction from the rear end portion of the vehicle right-side surface of the side portion 32. Likewise, the left-side flange portion 34 extends in the vehicle leftward direction from the rear end portion of the vehicle left-side surface of the side portion 32.

Through holes 34A (see
Here, the side portion 32 on the vehicle right side is secured to the battery crossmember 22 in a position closer to the battery side member 20 on the vehicle right side than to the vehicle width direction center of the battery crossmember 22.
As illustrated in
A dash panel 40 is integrally molded on the upper side of the dash crossmember 26. The dash panel 40 is formed in a downward slope inclined in the vehicle downward direction heading in the vehicle rearward direction. The dash panel 40 is a member having the function of dividing a power unit compartment 42 from the cabin 44, and pedals are disposed on its inclined surface. It will be noted that, as an example, the lower end portion of another dash panel (not illustrated in the drawings) extending in the vehicle up and down direction and the vehicle width direction is joined to the front end portion of the dash panel 40 illustrated in
The front portion of the bottom portion 26A of the dash crossmember 26 is secured to the vehicle upper-side surfaces of the left and right pair of side portions 32 of the suspension member 30. Furthermore, the rear portion of the bottom portion 26A of the dash crossmember 26 is secured to the vehicle upper-side surface of the battery crossmember 22. In the bottom portion 26A of the dash crossmember 26 are formed a left and right pair of suspension member-use through holes (not illustrated in the drawings) for fastening to the suspension member 30 and a left and right pair of battery crossmember-use through holes (not illustrated in the drawings) for fastening to the battery crossmember 22. The suspension member-use through holes (not illustrated in the drawings) and the battery crossmember-use through holes (not illustrated in the drawings) are, as an example, formed next to each other in the vehicle front and rear direction.
In upper plates formed on the vehicle upper sides and lower plates formed on the vehicle lower sides of the rear end portions of the side portions 32 of the suspension member 30 are formed upper and lower pairs of through holes (none are illustrated in the drawings) that run through the plates in their thickness direction. Bolts 48 are inserted through the suspension member-use through holes (not illustrated in the drawings) in the dash crossmember 26 and the upper and lower pairs of through holes (not illustrated in the drawings) in the side portions 32. The bolts 48 are screwed together with nuts 50. Because of this, the rear end portions of the side portions 32 of the suspension member 30 are fastened to the front portion of the bottom portion 26A of the dash crossmember 26. In other words, the front portion of the bottom portion 26A of the dash crossmember 26 and the rear end portions of the side portions 32 of the suspension member 30 are fastened in the vehicle up and down direction.
Furthermore, the battery crossmember 22 is formed in the shape of a polygonal tube having a substantially rectangular closed cross-section as viewed from the vehicle width direction. In an upper plate formed on the vehicle upper side and a lower plate formed on the vehicle lower side of the battery crossmember 22 are formed upper and lower pairs of through holes (none are illustrated in the drawings) that run through the plates in their thickness direction. Bolts 52 are inserted through the battery crossmember-use through holes (not illustrated in the drawings) in the dash crossmember 26 and the upper and lower pairs of through holes (not illustrated in the drawings) in the battery crossmember 22. The bolts 52 are screwed together with nuts 54. Because of this, the battery crossmember 22 is fastened to the rear portion of the bottom portion 26A of the dash crossmember 26. In other words, the rear portion of the bottom portion 26A of the dash crossmember 26 and the battery crossmember 22 are fastened in the vehicle up and down direction.
Next, the action of the present embodiment will be described.
According to the vehicle front portion structure pertaining to the present embodiment, the battery crossmember 22 is disposed on the vehicle front side of the battery 14. Because of this, the impact load input to the battery 14 at the time of a frontal impact to the vehicle 12 is reduced. Furthermore, the rear end side of the suspension member 30 is joined to the battery crossmember 22. Thus, the impact load input to the suspension member 30 at the time of a frontal impact to the vehicle 12 is transmitted to the battery crossmember 22 extending in the vehicle width direction and is dispersed along the vehicle width direction.
Furthermore, according to the vehicle front portion structure pertaining to the present embodiment, because the rear end side of the suspension member 30 is secured to the vehicle front-side surface of the battery crossmember 22, the impact load input to the suspension member 30 becomes input to the vehicle front-side surface of the battery crossmember 22. For this reason, the distance from the battery 14 to the load input point (site) becomes longer and the effect on the battery 14 is reduced. Furthermore, the impact load that travels from the vehicle front side in the vehicle rearward direction at the time of a frontal impact is efficiently transmitted because it is input from the vehicle front-side surface to the battery crossmember 22.
Moreover, according to the vehicle front portion structure pertaining to the present embodiment, the impact load input to the suspension member 30 at the time of a frontal impact to the vehicle 12 is transmitted in the vehicle rearward direction using the side portions 32 extending in the vehicle front and rear direction as load paths. Additionally, the impact load transmitted from the side portions 32 in the vehicle rearward direction is input via the flange portions 34 to the battery crossmember 22. Furthermore, the flange portions 34 formed on the rear end portions of the side portions 32 planarly abut against the battery crossmember, so the impact load input to the suspension member 30 is efficiently dispersed to the battery crossmember 22.
Moreover still, according to the vehicle front portion structure pertaining to the present embodiment, the flange portions 34 extend in the same direction (the vehicle width direction) as the direction in which the battery crossmember 22 extends. Thus, the impact load can be efficiently transmitted in the vehicle width direction from the suspension member 30 to the battery crossmember 22.
Furthermore, according to the vehicle front portion structure pertaining to the present embodiment, the impact load at the time of a frontal impact to the vehicle 12 is dispersed from the suspension member 30 not only to the battery crossmember 22 but also to the dash crossmember 26.
Moreover, according to the vehicle front portion structure pertaining to the present embodiment, at the time of a frontal impact to the vehicle 12, the impact load input from the suspension member 30 to the battery crossmember 22 is transmitted to the dash crossmember 26.
Moreover still, according to the vehicle front portion structure pertaining to the present embodiment, the impact load at the time of a frontal impact input from the suspension member 30 and the battery crossmember 22 to the dash crossmember 26 is dispersed to the left and right pair of rockers 28 disposed on both vehicle width direction sides of the vehicle body floor.
Furthermore, according to the vehicle front portion structure pertaining to the present embodiment, the impact load input from the vehicle front side to the front side members 24 at the time of a frontal impact to the vehicle 12 is transmitted via the dash crossmember 26 to the battery crossmember 22. Particularly in the case of an offset impact, an oblique impact, and a small overlap impact, the impact load is to a great extent input to one of the front side members 24. At this time, the impact load input to the front side members 24 is transmitted from one side in the vehicle width direction to the other side along the dash crossmember 26 and the battery crossmember 22 joined to the dash crossmember 26. Thus, the impact load is not borne by just the one side of the vehicle that has been impacted.
Moreover, according to the vehicle front portion structure pertaining to the present embodiment, the left and right pair of front side members 24 and the dash crossmember 26 are integrally molded, so the impact load input to the front side members 24 at the time of a frontal impact to the vehicle 12 is efficiently transmitted to the dash crossmember 26. Furthermore, because the left and right pair of front side members 24 and the dash crossmember 26 are integrally molded, the number of parts and the number of assembly manhours can be reduced.
Moreover still, according to the vehicle front portion structure pertaining to the present embodiment, the battery crossmember 22 configures part of the battery case 16 housing the battery 14, so the impact load input to the battery crossmember 22 is widely dispersed to the entire battery case 16.
Furthermore, according to the vehicle front portion structure pertaining to the present embodiment, the side portions 32 of the suspension member 30 are secured to the battery crossmember 22 in positions close to the battery side members 20. Thus, the impact load transmitted from the suspension member 30 to the battery crossmember 22 is efficiently transmitted to the left and right battery side members 20. In this way, the vehicle front portion structure has multiple load paths for an impact load sustained at the time of a frontal impact to the vehicle 12.

For example, the flange portions of the side portions may extend in the vehicle up and down direction. Furthermore, the side portions need not include the flange portions. For example, the rear end portions of the side portions formed in the shape of polygonal tubes may be welded to the battery crossmember. Moreover, for example, in a case where the suspension member is connected to the battery crossmember via another member provided extending on the rear end sides of the suspension member, flange portions may be formed on the other member.
Furthermore, although in the above embodiment the rear end portion of the suspension member 30 was described as being joined in the vehicle up and down direction to the dash crossmember 26, the suspension member is not limited to this. For example, the suspension member may be joined in the vehicle front and rear direction to the dash crossmember. Furthermore, for example, the suspension member is not limited to being joined at its rear end portion to the dash crossmember and may be joined to the dash crossmember in a position of the rear portion on the vehicle front side of the rear end portion. Furthermore, the suspension member need not be joined to the dash crossmember.
