  As shown in FIG. 5, when a collision load F is input to the rocker outer panel 28 of the rocker 14 on the right side of the vehicle at the time of a side collision of the vehicle, a part of the collision load is transferred from the rocker outer panel 28 to the front bulkhead 32 and the rear side. It is transmitted to the rocker inner panel 26 via the bulkhead 34. The remaining collision load is directly transmitted to the rocker inner panel 26 from the outer side lower flange portion 28A and the outer side upper flange portion 28E of the rocker outer panel 28.

  The collision load transmitted to the rocker inner panel 26 is distributed and transmitted to the floor panel 12, the first floor cross member 18, the second floor cross member 16, and the outer seat mounting bracket 24. Here, in this embodiment, since the diagonal member 30 is provided, a part of the collision load transmitted from the upper end portion of the rocker inner panel 26 to the outer seat mounting bracket 24 is transmitted to the diagonal member 30. That is, a part of the collision load is distributed and transmitted to the bracket upper surface 24A of the outer sheet mounting bracket 24 and the diagonal member main body 30A of the diagonal member 30 as indicated by arrows in the drawing. Thereby, compared with the case where the diagonal member 30 is not provided, the collision load transmitted to the upper surface of the outer seat mounting bracket 24 is reduced, and the outer seat mounting bracket 24 is prevented from collapsing in cross section. Can do.

  Subsequently, the load transmitted to the bracket upper surface 24A of the outer seat mounting bracket 24 is transmitted from the bracket upper surface 24A to the second floor cross member 16 through the bracket inner surface 24B as shown by an arrow F1 in FIG. Is done. Specifically, it is transmitted in a substantially vertical direction to the joint portion between the upper surface of the second floor cross member 16 and the bracket inner side surface 24B. Here, the load transmitted from the bracket inner surface 24B to the second floor cross member 16 is reduced as compared with the case where the diagonal member 30 is not provided.

  On the other hand, the load transmitted to the diagonal material body 30A of the diagonal material 30 is transmitted from the diagonal material body 30A to the second floor cross member 16 as indicated by an arrow F2. Specifically, the oblique material body 30A is transmitted in the extending direction (diagonally downward) to the joint portion between the upper surface of the second floor cross member 16 and the bracket inner side surface 24B. Thereby, the load applied to the upper surface of the second floor cross member 16 is a load F3 obtained by combining the load F1 transmitted from the bracket inner side surface 24B and the load F2 transmitted from the diagonal member main body 30A. Here, since F3 acts on the second floor cross member 16 in the direction from the vertical to the inner side in the vehicle width direction, the vertical load is suppressed from being concentrated on the second floor cross member 16. That is, it is possible to prevent the second floor cross member 16 from being damaged and impeding the transmission of the collision load during a side collision, and to effectively transmit the collision load to the second floor cross member 16.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the rocker outer panel 28 and the rocker inner panel 26 are connected by the front bulkhead 32 and the rear bulkhead 34, so that the bulkhead is joined only to the rocker outer panel 28 or the rocker inner panel 26. Compared to the above, it is possible to increase the rigidity of the rocker 14 and to effectively transmit the collision load at the time of a side collision. As a result, it is possible to reduce the intrusion amount of the collision object at the time of a side collision.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the cross section of the outer seat mounting bracket 24 cut along the vehicle front-rear direction has three closed cross sections. Compared to the case where the outer seat mounting bracket 24 is not provided, the rigidity of the outer seat mounting bracket 24 against the load applied in the vehicle vertical direction can be increased. Thereby, it is possible to suppress the outer seat mounting bracket 24 from collapsing in cross section due to the vehicle vertical load applied from the seat and the occupant.

  In the present embodiment, the front flange portion 30C of the diagonal member main body 30A and the bracket front surface 24C of the outer seat mounting bracket 24 are joined, and the rear flange portion 30D and the bracket rear surface 24D are joined. However, the configuration is not limited thereto, and the front flange portion 30C and the rear flange portion 30D may not be provided. In this case, the trouble of joining the diagonal member 52 and the outer sheet mounting bracket 24 by spot welding or the like at the time of manufacture can be saved. When the front flange portion 30C and the rear flange portion 30D are not provided, the diagonal member body 30A is made thicker or a bead is set on the diagonal member body 30A to ensure the rigidity of the diagonal member 30. Is preferred.

  Although the vehicle lower structure according to the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, it is needless to say that the present invention can be implemented in various modes without departing from the gist of the present invention.
