Description

本発明は、車体前部構造、特に、バンパビームの車両幅方向両端部がそれぞれガセットを介してサイドメンバの車両前方部に連結されている車両の車体前部構造に関する。 The present invention relates to a vehicle body front structure, and more particularly to a vehicle body front structure in which both end portions of a bumper beam in the vehicle width direction are connected to vehicle front portions of side members via gussets.

車両の衝突のパターンとして、衝突対象物が車両の前方から且つ車幅方向の端部側の一部のみで衝突するスモールオーバラップ前面衝突が知られている。また、車室内の乗員保護に関する試験としてもスモールオーバラップテスト(スモールオーバラップ前面衝突試験)が知られており、このテストでは、車両前側部における車体前部構造の構造体を如何に変形させて、その荷重エネルギーを吸収するかなどの試験や研究が行われている。 As a collision pattern of a vehicle, a small overlap frontal collision is known in which a collision object collides from the front of the vehicle with only a part on the end side in the vehicle width direction. A small overlap test (small overlap frontal collision test) is also known as a test for passenger protection in the passenger compartment. In this test, the structure of the vehicle body front structure on the front side of the vehicle is deformed. , Tests and studies are being conducted to determine whether or not to absorb the load energy.

スモールオーバラップ前面衝突に対応する技術として、例えば、下記特許文献1に記載される車体前部構造では、バンパビームの車両幅方向両端部がそれぞれガセットを介してサイドメンバの車両前方部に連結されている。このガセットは、サイドメンバ側の結合部分よりもバンパビーム側の結合部分が車両前方に向けて車両幅方向外側に伸長するように配設されている。これにより、スモールオーバラップ前面衝突時に荷重が作用すると、ガセットがサイドメンバを車両幅方向内側に変形させてパワーユニット(エンジン)を車両側方に押すことになる。その結果、スモールオーバラップ前面衝突時の荷重のエネルギーを吸収するようにしている。なお、下記特許文献2に記載されるように、ガセットとサイドメンバの結合部の近傍において、車両幅方向両側のサイドメンバをクロスメンバで連結する車体前部構造も存在する。 As a technique for dealing with a small overlap frontal collision, for example, in a vehicle body front structure described in Patent Document 1 below, both vehicle width direction end portions of a bumper beam are connected to vehicle front portions of side members via gussets, respectively. There is. The gusset is arranged so that the connecting portion on the bumper beam side of the connecting portion on the side member side extends outward in the vehicle width direction toward the front of the vehicle. As a result, when a load acts at the time of a small overlap frontal collision, the gusset deforms the side member inward in the vehicle width direction and pushes the power unit (engine) laterally of the vehicle. As a result, the energy of the load at the time of a small overlap frontal collision is absorbed. As described in Patent Document 2 below, there is also a vehicle body front structure in which the side members on both sides in the vehicle width direction are connected by cross members in the vicinity of the joint between the gusset and the side member.

特開2017−171222号公報JP, 2017-171222, A 特開2017−109713号公報JP, 2017-109713, A

ところで、電動車両では、車両駆動用のモータ(モータジェネレータ)を車両前部に搭載することもあり得る。具体的には、一般的な乗用車両におけるパワーユニット(エンジン)の搭載部位、すなわち車室前方にモータを搭載する。このように、車室前方にモータを搭載する車両に、上記特許文献1に記載の車体前部構造を採用すると、スモールオーバラップ前面衝突の荷重で変形・移動したサイドメンバやガセットがモータに接触し、それによりモータが損傷するおそれがある。一般に、車両駆動用のモータは高電圧大電流で駆動されるので、そうした車両駆動用モータの損傷は、例えば、漏電などを回避するためにも避ける必要がある。その結果、スモールオーバラップ前面衝突時でも車室前方の搭載物に構造体が接触しない車体前部構造が望まれる。 By the way, in an electric vehicle, a motor (motor generator) for driving the vehicle may be mounted on the front portion of the vehicle. Specifically, a motor is mounted in a mounting portion of a power unit (engine) in a general passenger vehicle, that is, in the front of the passenger compartment. As described above, when the vehicle body front structure described in Patent Document 1 is adopted in the vehicle in which the motor is mounted in the front of the vehicle compartment, the side member or gusset deformed/moved by the load of the small overlap frontal collision comes into contact with the motor. However, this may damage the motor. Generally, a motor for driving a vehicle is driven by a high voltage and a large current, and therefore damage to the motor for driving the vehicle needs to be avoided in order to avoid, for example, electric leakage. As a result, a vehicle body front structure is desired in which the structure does not come into contact with a mounted object in front of the vehicle compartment even in the case of a small overlap frontal collision.

本発明は、上記課題に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的は、スモールオーバラップ前面衝突時でも車室前方の搭載物、特に車両駆動用モータに構造体が接触しない車体前部構造を提供することにある。 The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a vehicle body front structure in which a structure does not come into contact with a mounted object in front of a vehicle compartment, particularly a vehicle driving motor even when a small overlap frontal collision occurs. To do.

上記目的を達成するため請求項1に記載の車体前部構造は、
車両幅方向両側部で車両前後方向に延在するサイドメンバと、前記サイドメンバの車両前方部で2つの該サイドメンバ間に架け渡され且つ車両幅方向両端部が該サイドメンバよりも車両幅方向外側に延在するバンパビームと、前記バンパビームの車両幅方向両端部のそれぞれと前記サイドメンバの車両幅方向外側部とを連結する連結部材であって、サイドメンバへの結合部分に対してバンパビームへの結合部分が車両前方で且つ車両幅方向外側にあるように構成されたガセットと、該ガセットと前記サイドメンバとの結合部の近傍で前記2つのサイドメンバを連結するクロスメンバと、を有する車体前部構造において、
前記クロスメンバと前記サイドメンバとの結合部の車両前方端部の位置は、前記ガセットと該サイドメンバとの結合部の車両後方端部の位置と車両前後方向で同じ位置か又は車両後方側に設定され、少なくとも前記ガセットの前記サイドメンバへの結合部分であるサイドメンバ結合部の剛性は、該サイドメンバの前記クロスメンバとの結合部分であるクロスメンバ結合部を含む該クロスメンバ結合部の近傍の剛性よりも大きく設定されたことを特徴とする。
In order to achieve the above object, the vehicle body front structure according to claim 1,
A side member that extends in the vehicle front-rear direction on both sides in the vehicle width direction, and a vehicle front portion of the side member that is bridged between the two side members, and both vehicle width direction ends are in the vehicle width direction than the side member. A bumper beam extending to the outside, a connecting member that connects both ends of the bumper beam in the vehicle width direction and an outer portion of the side member in the vehicle width direction, and a portion to be joined to the side member is connected to the bumper beam. A vehicle body front having a gusset configured such that a connecting portion is located in front of the vehicle and outside in the vehicle width direction, and a cross member that connects the two side members in the vicinity of a connecting portion between the gusset and the side member. In the partial structure,
The position of the vehicle front end of the joint between the cross member and the side member is the same as the position of the vehicle rear end of the joint between the gusset and the side member in the vehicle front-rear direction, or on the vehicle rear side. The rigidity of at least the side member connecting portion which is a connecting portion of the gusset to the side member is set in the vicinity of the cross member connecting portion including the cross member connecting portion which is a connecting portion of the side member with the cross member. It is characterized by being set to be larger than the rigidity of.

この構成によれば、スモールオーバラップ前面衝突の荷重が作用すると、ガセットが車両後方で且つ車両幅方向内側に移動され、これにより、ガセットのサイドメンバ結合部がサイドメンバのクロスメンバ結合部を圧し潰す。このガセットによるサイドメンバの圧し潰しには、短時間といえども時間を要し、その間、ガセットは車両幅方向内側と同時に車両後方側に移動される。しかし、このサイドメンバの圧し潰しの以前に、ガセットはクロスメンバよりもやや車両前方側の位置でサイドメンバに結合されていることから、圧し潰しの完了時にはガセットのサイドメンバ結合部はクロスメンバ側に移動して押当する。このとき、ガセットのサイドメンバ結合部は、クロスメンバに対して、車両後方向きで且つ車両幅方向内側向きに押当されるので、スモールオーバラップ前面衝突時の荷重が車両後方及び車両幅方向内側に略均等に分散される。 According to this configuration, when the load of the small overlap frontal collision is applied, the gusset is moved to the rear of the vehicle and to the inner side in the vehicle width direction, whereby the side member connecting portion of the gusset presses the cross member connecting portion of the side member. Crush. The crushing of the side member by the gusset takes time, even if it is a short time, and during that time, the gusset is moved to the vehicle rear side at the same time as the vehicle width direction inner side. However, before this side member is crushed, the gusset is connected to the side member at a position slightly forward of the cross member to the vehicle. Therefore, when the crushing is completed, the gusset side member joint is located on the cross member side. Move to and press. At this time, since the side member connecting portion of the gusset is pressed against the cross member toward the vehicle rearward and inward in the vehicle width direction, the load at the time of a small overlap frontal collision is the vehicle rearward and vehicle widthwise inward. Distributed almost evenly.

このうち、車両幅方向内側に作用する分散荷重はクロスメンバが支持するので、サイドメンバの車両幅方向内側への折れ曲がりが防止される。したがって、サイドメンバのクロスメンバ結合部より車両後方側の部分は、車両幅方向内側への折れ曲がり又は、主として、車両後方側への圧縮変形状態となり、車体前部構造を構成する構造体が車室前方の搭載物(モータなど)に接触するのを回避することができる。 Among them, the cross member supports the dispersed load acting on the inner side in the vehicle width direction, so that the side member is prevented from being bent inward in the vehicle width direction. Therefore, the portion of the side member on the vehicle rear side of the cross member coupling portion is bent inward in the vehicle width direction or is mainly in a state of compressive deformation toward the vehicle rear side, and the structure constituting the vehicle body front structure is It is possible to avoid contact with a mounted object (motor, etc.) in front.

請求項2に記載の車体前部構造は、請求項1に記載の車体前部構造において、
前記ガセットのサイドメンバ結合部は、スモールオーバラップ前面衝突時の荷重に対して略無変形の剛性を有する高剛性部材で構成され、前記ガセットの前記バンパビームへの結合部分であるバンパビーム結合部の剛性は、前記スモールオーバラップ前面衝突時の荷重によって圧潰する剛性であることを特徴とする。
The vehicle body front structure according to claim 2 is the vehicle body front structure according to claim 1,
The gusset side member coupling portion is formed of a high-rigidity member having substantially non-deformable rigidity with respect to a load at the time of a small overlap frontal collision, and the rigidity of a bumper beam coupling portion that is a coupling portion of the gusset to the bumper beam. Is characterized by a rigidity that is crushed by the load at the time of the small overlap frontal collision.

この構成によれば、ガセットのサイドメンバ結合部よりも車両前方で且つ車幅方向外側に存在しているバンパビーム結合部がスモールオーバラップ前面衝突時の荷重で圧潰し始めると、車両平面視における所定位置を中心としてサイドメンバ結合部が車両後方側で且つ車両幅方向内側に回転される。その状態で、更にスモールオーバラップ前面衝突時の荷重が車両後方向きに作用した結果、サイドメンバ結合部が車両後方で且つ車両幅方向内側に移動される。このサイドメンバ結合部は、スモールオーバラップ前面衝突時の荷重が作用しても略無変形の剛性を有するので、このサイドメンバ結合部がサイドメンバのクロスメンバ結合部を確実に圧し潰し、これによりガセットのサイドメンバ結合部がクロスメンバに直接的に押当する。 According to this configuration, when the bumper beam connecting portion existing on the vehicle front side and outside in the vehicle width direction with respect to the side member connecting portion of the gusset starts to be crushed by the load at the time of the small overlap frontal collision, a predetermined amount in a plan view of the vehicle is obtained. The side member connecting portion is rotated rearward of the vehicle and inward in the vehicle width direction with the position as the center. In this state, the load at the time of a small overlap frontal collision further acts on the vehicle rearward direction, and as a result, the side member coupling portion is moved rearward of the vehicle and inward in the vehicle width direction. Since the side member connecting portion has a rigidity that is substantially undeformed even when a load is applied during a small-overlap frontal collision, the side member connecting portion surely crushes the cross member connecting portion of the side member, and The side member connection part of the gusset directly presses against the cross member.

請求項3に記載の車体前部構造は、請求項1又は2に記載の車体前部構造において、前記ガセットは、スモールオーバラップ前面衝突時の所定の荷重で前記サイドメンバ結合部が前記クロスメンバに直接的に押当して該荷重が車両前後方向後方及び車両幅方向内側方向に略均等に分散される位置に配置されたことを特徴とする。 The vehicle body front structure according to claim 3 is the vehicle body front structure according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the gusset is configured such that the side member coupling portion has a predetermined load at the time of a small overlap frontal collision. It is arranged such that the load is directly pressed against the vehicle and the load is substantially evenly distributed in the rear direction of the vehicle and inward in the vehicle width direction.

この構成によれば、例えば、スモールオーバラップ前面衝突時に作用する所定荷重の応力解析によって得られた位置にガセットが予め配置されていることから、スモールオーバラップ前面衝突時にはガセットの高剛性のサイドメンバ結合部がクロスメンバに確実に押当して荷重を車両後方及び車両幅方向内側に略均等に確実に分散する。その結果、スモールオーバラップ前面衝突時の構造体の大幅な車両後方側への移動が確実に回避され、これにより車体前部構造を構成する構造体が車室前方の搭載物に接触するのを回避することができる。 According to this configuration, for example, since the gusset is preliminarily arranged at the position obtained by the stress analysis of the predetermined load acting at the time of the small overlap frontal collision, the side member having high rigidity of the gusset at the time of the small overlap frontal collision. The connecting portion reliably presses against the cross member to reliably and evenly distribute the load to the rear of the vehicle and the inner side in the vehicle width direction. As a result, a large amount of movement of the structure toward the rear side of the vehicle during a small overlap frontal collision is reliably avoided, which prevents the structure forming the vehicle body front structure from coming into contact with an object in front of the vehicle compartment. It can be avoided.

以上説明したように、本発明によれば、スモールオーバラップ前面衝突時の荷重に対して、サイドメンバのクロスメンバ結合部の近傍部分は主として車両後方に圧潰されてエネルギーを吸収することができるので、車体前部構造を構成する構造体が車室前方の車両駆動用モータなどの搭載物に接触するのを回避することができる。これにより、スモールオーバラップ前面衝突時における車室内の乗員の保護だけでなく、電動車両における漏電問題も回避することができる。 As described above, according to the present invention, the portion in the vicinity of the cross member coupling portion of the side member can be crushed mainly toward the rear of the vehicle to absorb energy against the load at the time of a small overlap frontal collision. It is possible to avoid the structure constituting the vehicle body front structure from coming into contact with a mounted object such as a vehicle driving motor in the front of the vehicle compartment. As a result, not only can the occupant in the passenger compartment be protected in the event of a small-overlap frontal collision, but also the problem of electric leakage in the electric vehicle can be avoided.

以下に、本発明の車体前部構造の実施の形態について図面を参照して詳細に説明する。図1は、この実施の形態の車体前部の概略構成を示す斜視図である。周知のように、実際の車両では、多種の車体構造体が複雑に配置・取付けされているが、以下の図は、この実施の形態の車体前部構造の主要部のみを簡潔に示している。また、図示される車体前部構造の車両後方には車室が設けられる。また、図中の「前」、「左」、「上」は、車室内に乗車した状態での方向を示している。 Hereinafter, embodiments of a vehicle body front structure of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a schematic configuration of a vehicle body front portion of this embodiment. As is well known, various vehicle body structures are complicatedly arranged and attached in an actual vehicle, but the following drawings briefly show only the main part of the vehicle body front structure of this embodiment. .. Further, a vehicle compartment is provided behind the vehicle in the illustrated vehicle body front structure. In addition, “front”, “left”, and “upper” in the figure indicate directions when the vehicle is in the passenger compartment.

車両幅方向両側部のそれぞれには、車両前後方向に伸長するサイドメンバ10が配設されている。図では、車両前部のみが示されているが、実際には、車室の下部まで延設され、車両後部まで延長される場合もある。車体前部構造におけるサイドメンバ10は、フロントサイドフレームなどとも呼ばれ、何れの車両にあっても車体前部構造を支える重要な骨格部材である。なお、サイドメンバ10の上下方向における伸長方向は、路面と略平行である。 Side members 10 extending in the vehicle front-rear direction are disposed on both sides of the vehicle width direction. Although only the front portion of the vehicle is shown in the figure, in reality, it may be extended to the lower portion of the vehicle compartment and may be extended to the rear portion of the vehicle. The side member 10 in the vehicle body front structure is also called a front side frame or the like, and is an important skeleton member that supports the vehicle body front structure in any vehicle. The extension direction of the side member 10 in the up-down direction is substantially parallel to the road surface.

この2つのサイドメンバ10の車両前方には、車両幅方向に伸長するバンパビーム12が配設されている。この実施の形態のバンパビーム12は、2つのサイドメンバ10間に架け渡され且つ車両幅方向両端部が各サイドメンバ10よりも車両幅方向外側まで延在している。この実施の形態では、バンパビーム12は、車両前後方向に伸長するクラッシュボックス14を介してサイドメンバ10の車両前端部に取付けられている。すなわち、サイドメンバ10の車両前端部が直接的にバンパビーム12に連結されているのではなく、サイドメンバ10の車両前端部とバンパビーム12の間にクラッシュボックス14が介装されている。 A bumper beam 12 extending in the vehicle width direction is disposed in front of the two side members 10 in the vehicle. The bumper beam 12 of this embodiment is bridged between the two side members 10 and both ends in the vehicle width direction of the bumper beam 12 extend to the outside of the side members 10 in the vehicle width direction. In this embodiment, the bumper beam 12 is attached to the vehicle front end of the side member 10 via a crash box 14 extending in the vehicle front-rear direction. That is, the vehicle front end of the side member 10 is not directly connected to the bumper beam 12, but the crash box 14 is interposed between the vehicle front end of the side member 10 and the bumper beam 12.

クラッシュボックス14は、車両前方からの荷重で潰れることによってそのエネルギーを吸収するものである。クラッシュボックス14は、一般に、バンパビーム12に一体的に取付けられており、そのクラッシュボックス14をバンパビーム12ごと、ボルト・ナットなどの締結具を介して、サイドメンバ10の車両前端部に取付ける。したがって、クラッシュボックス14とサイドメンバ10の連結構造には、周知のように、それぞれに一体的に固着されたプレートが介在しているが、この実施の形態では、図示及び説明を省略する。なお、この実施の形態では、クラッシュボックス14が取付けられるサイドメンバ10の車両前端部は、比較的剛性の大きい部材で構成されており、以下では、この部分を前方高剛性部16ともいう。 The crash box 14 absorbs energy by being crushed by a load from the front of the vehicle. The crash box 14 is generally attached integrally to the bumper beam 12, and the crash box 14 is attached to the bumper beam 12 and the vehicle front end of the side member 10 via fasteners such as bolts and nuts. Therefore, as is well known, the plate integrally fixed to each of the connecting structures of the crash box 14 and the side member 10 is interposed, but illustration and description thereof are omitted in this embodiment. In this embodiment, the vehicle front end portion of the side member 10 to which the crash box 14 is attached is made of a member having a relatively high rigidity, and hereinafter, this portion is also referred to as a front high rigidity portion 16.

バンパビーム12のうち、サイドメンバ10の位置よりも車両幅方向外側に延在している部分は、車両幅方向両側のそれぞれで、連結部材であるガセット20を介してサイドメンバ10の車両前方部の車両幅方向外側部(面)と連結されている。したがって、ガセット20は、サイドメンバ10への結合部分(サイドメンバ結合部24)よりもバンパビーム12への結合部分(バンパビーム結合部22)が車両前方且つ車両幅方向外側になるように車両前後方向に対して斜めに伸長するように配設されている。この実施の形態のガセット20は、サイドメンバ結合部24とバンパビーム結合部22に二分されたものが一体化されて構成されている。このうち、サイドメンバ結合部24は、後述するスモールオーバラップ前面衝突時の荷重が作用しても、変形しないか又は僅かにしか変形しない、略無変形の剛性を有する、バルク(塊体)のような高剛性部材で構成されている。すなわち、このサイドメンバ結合部24は、サイドメンバ10のクロスメンバ26との結合部であるクロスメンバ結合部及びその近傍の剛性よりも大きい。 Portions of the bumper beam 12 that extend outward in the vehicle width direction with respect to the position of the side member 10 are located on both sides of the vehicle width direction in the vehicle front portion of the side member 10 via gussets 20 that are connecting members. It is connected to the vehicle width direction outer side portion (surface). Therefore, the gusset 20 is arranged in the vehicle front-rear direction so that the connecting portion (bumper beam connecting portion 22) to the bumper beam 12 is more forward than the connecting portion (side member connecting portion 24) to the side member 10 in the vehicle front and rear direction. It is arranged so as to extend obliquely. The gusset 20 of this embodiment is constructed by integrating a side member coupling portion 24 and a bumper beam coupling portion 22 into two parts. Among these, the side member coupling portion 24 is a bulk (lump) having a substantially undeformed rigidity that does not deform or slightly deforms even when a load at the time of a small overlap frontal collision described later is applied. It is composed of such a high-rigidity member. That is, the side member joint portion 24 is larger in rigidity than the cross member joint portion which is a joint portion of the side member 10 with the cross member 26 and the vicinity thereof.

一方、バンパビーム結合部22は、サイドメンバ結合部24よりも剛性の小さい部材で、例えば方形閉断面に構成されており、スモールオーバラップ前面衝突の荷重が作用すると、部材の伸長方向に圧潰するような剛性に設定されている。なお、ガセット20のサイドメンバ10との結合構造については詳細に図示していないが、例えば、ガセット20のサイドメンバ結合部24の車両幅方向内側後端部から上下方向に広いフランジ状結合部を車両後方側に小さく延設し、この延設されたフランジ状結合部を上下方向に複数の溶接点でサイドメンバ10の車両幅方向外側面に堅固に固着している。すなわち、ガセット20とサイドメンバ10の結合部(の位置)は、ガセット20の本体部から車両後方側に離れていない。ちなみに、ガセット20のサイドメンバ結合部24は、上記サイドメンバ10の前方高剛性部16に結合されている(例えば図2参照)。また、ガセット20の上下方向における伸長方向は、路面と略平行である。 On the other hand, the bumper beam joint portion 22 is a member having a rigidity lower than that of the side member joint portion 24, and has a rectangular closed cross section, for example, and is crushed in the extending direction of the member when a load of a small overlap frontal collision is applied. It has been set to various rigidity. Although the connection structure of the gusset 20 and the side member 10 is not shown in detail, for example, a flange-shaped connection part that is wide in the vertical direction is formed from the vehicle width direction inner rear end of the side member connection part 24 of the gusset 20. A small extension is provided on the rear side of the vehicle, and the extended flange-like connecting portion is firmly fixed to the vehicle width direction outer side surface of the side member 10 at a plurality of welding points in the vertical direction. That is, the connecting portion (the position) of the gusset 20 and the side member 10 is not separated from the main body of the gusset 20 toward the vehicle rear side. By the way, the side member connecting portion 24 of the gusset 20 is connected to the front high rigidity portion 16 of the side member 10 (see, for example, FIG. 2 ). The extension direction of the gusset 20 in the up-down direction is substantially parallel to the road surface.

上記2つのサイドメンバ10の車両前方部は、上記ガセット20との結合部の近傍において、それらサイドメンバ10間に配設されたクロスメンバ26によって連結されている。サイドメンバ10は、図示のクロスメンバ26の他、車両前後方向側に配設された、例えばラジエータコアサポートのような横部材で連結されているが、ここでは、ガセット20が結合されている部分のクロスメンバ26だけを図示・説明する。この実施の形態では、このクロスメンバ26とガセット20の位置関係が重要である。このクロスメンバ26とガセット20は、例えば図2に示すように、クロスメンバ26とサイドメンバ10との結合部の車両前方端部の位置が、ガセット20とサイドメンバ10との結合部の車両後方端部の位置と車両前後方向で同じ位置か又は車両後方側に設定されている。これは、後述するように、スモールオーバラップ前面衝突の荷重でガセット20のサイドメンバ結合部24がクロスメンバ26に直接的に押当してその荷重を車両前後方向後方及び車両幅方向内側に略均等に分散するための構成要件である。 The vehicle front parts of the two side members 10 are connected to each other by a cross member 26 arranged between the side members 10 in the vicinity of the joint with the gusset 20. The side member 10 is connected to a cross member 26 shown in the figure as well as a lateral member such as a radiator core support arranged on the vehicle front-rear direction side, but here, a portion to which the gusset 20 is joined. Only the cross member 26 of FIG. In this embodiment, the positional relationship between the cross member 26 and the gusset 20 is important. In the cross member 26 and the gusset 20, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, the position of the vehicle front end portion of the connecting portion between the cross member 26 and the side member 10 is the vehicle rear side of the connecting portion between the gusset 20 and the side member 10. It is set at the same position in the vehicle front-rear direction as the position of the end portion or at the vehicle rear side. This is because, as will be described later, the side member coupling portion 24 of the gusset 20 directly presses the cross member 26 by the load of the small overlap frontal collision, and the load is substantially rearward in the vehicle front-rear direction and inward in the vehicle width direction. It is a constituent requirement for even distribution.

なお、この実施の形態では、上記クロスメンバ26より車両後方側で且つ2つのサイドメンバ10の間、すなわち車室前方に車両駆動用の図示しないモータ(モータジェネレータ)が搭載される。また、そのモータの車両後方側に駆動用バッテリが配置される場合もある。また、上記サイドメンバ10の車室近傍部分は、例えば、上方に一体的に形成されるストラットタワー28によって剛性が高められている。また、サイドメンバ10上に配置される図示しないモータマウント部材も、サイドメンバ10の車室近傍部の剛性向上に寄与する場合がある。このサイドメンバ10の車室近傍部分を後方高剛性部26と呼ぶ。 In this embodiment, a motor (motor generator) (not shown) for driving the vehicle is mounted on the vehicle rear side of the cross member 26 and between the two side members 10, that is, in front of the vehicle compartment. In addition, a drive battery may be disposed on the vehicle rear side of the motor. The rigidity of the portion of the side member 10 near the passenger compartment is enhanced by, for example, a strut tower 28 integrally formed above. Further, a motor mount member (not shown) arranged on the side member 10 may also contribute to improving the rigidity of the side member 10 near the vehicle compartment. A portion of the side member 10 near the vehicle compartment is referred to as a rear high rigidity portion 26.

次に、図2〜図6を用いて、この実施の形態の車体前部構造の作用について説明する。ここでは、この実施の形態の電動車両に対するスモールオーバラップ前面衝突時の挙動について説明する。このスモールオーバラップ前面衝突は、例えば図2に示すように、車両幅方向外側から車幅の25%に相当する距離の車両前部範囲を所定形状のバリア(障壁)Bに車両前方から予め設定された所定の速度で衝突させる。図2は、バンパビーム12にバリアBが接触開始した状態を示す平面図である。以下、図面は、全て車両の前方左端部のみ(ストラットタワーは図示を省略)を示している。この実施の形態では、上記クラッシュボックス14の車両幅方向やや外側にバリアBが最初に接触する。この状態から、バリアBが相対的に車両後方側に進むと、図3の平面図に示すように、バンパビーム12の変形を伴ってガセット20のバンパビーム結合部22が部材伸長方向に圧潰すると共にクラッシュボックス14の車両後方側への圧潰が始まる。 Next, the operation of the vehicle body front structure of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, the behavior of the electric vehicle of the present embodiment at the time of a small overlap frontal collision will be described. In this small overlap frontal collision, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, a vehicle front range of a distance corresponding to 25% of the vehicle width from the vehicle width direction outer side is preset to a predetermined shape barrier B from the vehicle front side. Collide at the prescribed speed. FIG. 2 is a plan view showing a state where the barrier B has started contact with the bumper beam 12. Hereinafter, all the drawings show only the front left end portion of the vehicle (the strut tower is not shown). In this embodiment, the barrier B first contacts the vehicle width direction slightly outside of the crash box 14. When the barrier B relatively advances toward the vehicle rear side from this state, as shown in the plan view of FIG. 3, the bumper beam connecting portion 22 of the gusset 20 is crushed in the member extending direction and crashes as the bumper beam 12 is deformed. Crushing of the box 14 toward the vehicle rear side starts.

更に、バリアBが相対的に車両後方側に進むと、図4の平面図に示すように、ガセット20のバンパビーム結合部22及びクラッシュボックス14はほぼ圧潰し、サイドメンバ10の前方高剛性部16を伴ってガセット20のサイドメンバ結合部24が、車両平面視で、サイドメンバ10の車両前端部の車両幅方向やや内側箇所を中心として車両後方側で且つ車両幅方向内側に回転し始める。これと同時に、サイドメンバ10の前方高剛性部16の車両後方部分、すなわち前方高剛性部16とクロスメンバ26との間の部分が車両後方向きに圧潰する。これらの構造体の圧潰によって、スモールオーバラップ前面衝突の荷重のエネルギーが或る程度まで吸収される。更に、バリアBが相対的に車両後方側に進むと、図5の平面図に示すように、ガセット20の高剛性のサイドメンバ結合部24がサイドメンバ10のクロスメンバ26との結合部(クロスメンバ結合部11)を車両後方側且つ車両幅方向内側に圧し潰す。 Further, when the barrier B relatively advances toward the vehicle rear side, as shown in the plan view of FIG. 4, the bumper beam connecting portion 22 and the crush box 14 of the gusset 20 are substantially crushed and the front high rigidity portion 16 of the side member 10 is crushed. Accordingly, the side member coupling portion 24 of the gusset 20 starts to rotate toward the vehicle rear side and the vehicle width direction inner side around the vehicle width direction slightly inner side portion of the vehicle front end portion of the side member 10 in the vehicle plan view. At the same time, the vehicle rear portion of the front high rigidity portion 16 of the side member 10, that is, the portion between the front high rigidity portion 16 and the cross member 26 is crushed toward the vehicle rear side. The collapse of these structures absorbs some of the energy of the small overlap frontal collision loads. Further, when the barrier B relatively advances toward the vehicle rear side, as shown in the plan view of FIG. 5, the high-rigidity side member coupling portion 24 of the gusset 20 is coupled to the cross member 26 of the side member 10 (cross portion). The member connecting portion 11) is crushed by crushing it toward the vehicle rear side and the vehicle width direction inner side.

このガセット20のサイドメンバ結合部24によるサイドメンバ10のクロスメンバ結合部11の圧し潰しの間、サイドメンバ結合部24は、更に、車両幅方向内側と同時に車両後方側に移動されるが、このサイドメンバ結合部24は、予めクロスメンバ26よりもやや車両前方側の位置でサイドメンバ10に結合されていることから、サイドメンバ10の圧し潰しが完了すると、ガセット20のサイドメンバ結合部24が直接的にクロスメンバ26の車両幅方向外側端部に押当する。このとき、ガセット20のサイドメンバ結合部24は、クロスメンバ26に対して、車両幅方向内側向きで且つ車両後方向きに押当されることから、スモールオーバラップ前面衝突の残りの荷重Fは、図に矢印(ベクトル)で示すように、車両幅方向内側方向と車両後方に略均等に分散される。 While the side member connecting portion 24 of the gusset 20 crushes the cross member connecting portion 11 of the side member 10, the side member connecting portion 24 is further moved to the vehicle rear side at the same time as the vehicle width direction inner side. Since the side member joining portion 24 is joined to the side member 10 at a position slightly ahead of the cross member 26 on the vehicle front side, when the crushing of the side member 10 is completed, the side member joining portion 24 of the gusset 20 is removed. It directly presses the vehicle width direction outer end of the cross member 26. At this time, since the side member coupling portion 24 of the gusset 20 is pressed against the cross member 26 inward in the vehicle width direction and toward the vehicle rearward, the remaining load F of the small overlap frontal collision is: As indicated by arrows (vectors) in the figure, they are substantially evenly distributed in the vehicle width direction inner direction and in the vehicle rear direction.

このうち、車両幅方向内側方向に作用する分散荷重は、車両幅方向反対側端部(図示されていない右方端部)が反対側(右側)のサイドメンバ10に固定されたクロスメンバ26によって支持される。すなわち、クロスメンバ26は反対側のサイドメンバ10と共に車両幅方向内側方向に作用する分散荷重の反力を受ける。これにより、サイドメンバ10が車両幅方向内側に折れ曲がるのを防止する。一方、車両後方に作用する分散荷重は、サイドメンバ10の後方高剛性部26によって支持することができる。その結果、図6の平面図に示すように、サイドメンバ10のうち、後方高剛性部26より車両前方側の部分、具体的にはクロスメンバ結合部11よりも車両後方側の部分が車両後方向きに圧潰し、スモールオーバラップ前面衝突の荷重の残りのエネルギーが吸収される。 Among them, the distributed load acting inward in the vehicle width direction is generated by the cross member 26 fixed to the side member 10 on the opposite side (right side) at the opposite end (right end not shown) in the vehicle width direction. Supported. That is, the cross member 26 receives the reaction force of the distributed load acting inward in the vehicle width direction together with the opposite side member 10. This prevents the side member 10 from bending inward in the vehicle width direction. On the other hand, the distributed load acting on the rear side of the vehicle can be supported by the rear high-rigidity portion 26 of the side member 10. As a result, as shown in the plan view of FIG. 6, a portion of the side member 10 on the vehicle front side of the rear high rigidity portion 26, specifically, a portion of the side member 10 on the vehicle rear side of the cross member coupling portion 11 is on the vehicle rear side. It collapses in the direction and the remaining energy of the small overlap frontal collision load is absorbed.

これに伴い、クロスメンバ26の図示左方端部側、すなわち荷重作用側部分がやや車両後方側に湾曲変形するものの、クロスメンバ26を含めて、これより車両後方側の構造体が車両後方に大幅に移動することがない。また、前述のように、サイドメンバ10の車両幅方向内側への折れ曲がりもないので、例えば図6の右下の空間にモータが搭載されていたとしても、車体前部構造を構成する構造体が、この空間内に入り込むことがなく、したがってモータに構造体が接触することもない。このように、この実施の形態の車体前部構造では、スモールオーバラップ前面衝突に対して、車室内の乗員を保護できることは勿論、車室前方に車両駆動用のモータを搭載する場合にそのモータを損傷させることもない。 Along with this, the left end side in the figure of the cross member 26, that is, the load acting side portion is bent and deformed slightly toward the vehicle rear side, but the structure on the vehicle rear side including the cross member 26 is rearward of the vehicle. It does not move significantly. Further, as described above, since the side member 10 does not bend inward in the vehicle width direction, even if the motor is mounted in the lower right space of FIG. 6, the structure forming the vehicle body front structure is , It does not enter this space and therefore the motor does not come into contact with the structure. As described above, in the vehicle body front structure of the present embodiment, it is possible to protect the occupant in the vehicle interior from a small overlap frontal collision, and when the vehicle drive motor is mounted in front of the vehicle interior, It will not damage.

このように、この実施の形態の車体前部構造では、スモールオーバラップ前面衝突の荷重が作用すると、ガセット20が車両後方で且つ車両幅方向内側に移動され、これにより、ガセット20のサイドメンバ結合部24がサイドメンバ10のクロスメンバ結合部11を圧し潰す。このガセット20によるサイドメンバ10の圧し潰しには、短時間といえども時間を要し、その間、ガセット20は車両幅方向内側と同時に車両後方側に移動される。しかし、このサイドメンバ10の圧し潰しの以前に、ガセット20はクロスメンバ26よりもやや車両前方側の位置でサイドメンバ10に結合されていることから、圧し潰しの完了時にはガセット20のサイドメンバ結合部24がクロスメンバ26に直接的に押当する。このとき、ガセット20のサイドメンバ結合部24は、クロスメンバ26に対して、車両後方向きで且つ車両幅方向内側向きに押当されるので、スモールオーバラップ前面衝突時の荷重が車両後方及び車両幅方向内側に略均等に分散される。 As described above, in the vehicle body front structure of this embodiment, when the load of the small overlap frontal collision is applied, the gusset 20 is moved rearward of the vehicle and inward in the vehicle width direction, whereby the side member coupling of the gusset 20 is performed. The portion 24 presses and crushes the cross member coupling portion 11 of the side member 10. The crushing of the side member 10 by the gusset 20 takes time, albeit a short time, and during that time, the gusset 20 is moved to the vehicle rear side at the same time as the vehicle width direction inner side. However, since the gusset 20 is connected to the side member 10 at a position slightly on the vehicle front side of the cross member 26 before the crushing of the side member 10, the gusset 20 is connected to the side member at the completion of the crushing. The portion 24 directly presses the cross member 26. At this time, since the side member coupling portion 24 of the gusset 20 is pressed against the cross member 26 in the vehicle rearward direction and inward in the vehicle width direction, the load at the time of a small overlap frontal collision is applied to the vehicle rearward side and the vehicle side. It is distributed substantially evenly in the width direction.

このうち、車両幅方向内側に作用する分散荷重はクロスメンバ26が支持するので、サイドメンバ10の車両幅方向内側への折れ曲がりが防止される。一方、車両後方に作用する分散荷重に対して、サイドメンバの車室近傍部である後方高剛性部18は、ストラットタワー28などが構成されて剛性が大きいので、車室近傍部から遠い、クロスメンバ結合部11の車両後方側からサイドメンバ10が車両後方に圧潰してエネルギーを吸収する。これに伴って、クロスメンバ26は荷重作用側部分がやや車両後方側に湾曲変形するものの、クロスメンバ26を含めたクロスメンバ26より車両後方側の構造体の大幅な車両後方側への移動が回避される。これらの結果、車体前部構造を構成する構造体が車室前方の搭載物に接触するのを回避することができる。 Among them, the cross member 26 supports the dispersed load acting on the inner side in the vehicle width direction, so that the side member 10 is prevented from being bent inward in the vehicle width direction. On the other hand, with respect to the distributed load acting on the rear side of the vehicle, the rear high-rigidity portion 18, which is the portion of the side member near the passenger compartment, has a large rigidity because the strut tower 28 and the like are configured, and therefore the rear high-rigidity portion 18 is far from the portion near the passenger compartment. The side member 10 crushes toward the vehicle rear side from the vehicle rear side of the member coupling portion 11 to absorb energy. Along with this, although the load acting side portion of the cross member 26 is slightly curved and deformed toward the vehicle rear side, the structure on the vehicle rear side of the cross member 26 including the cross member 26 does not significantly move to the vehicle rear side. Avoided. As a result, it is possible to prevent the structure constituting the vehicle body front structure from coming into contact with the mounted object in front of the vehicle compartment.

また、スモールオーバラップ前面衝突時の荷重に対して略無変形の剛性を有する高剛性部材でガセット20のサイドメンバ結合部24を構成し、ガセット20のバンパビーム結合部22の剛性は、スモールオーバラップ前面衝突時の荷重によって圧潰する剛性とした。これにより、サイドメンバ結合部24よりも車両前方で且つ車幅方向外側に存在しているバンパビーム結合部22がスモールオーバラップ前面衝突時の荷重で圧潰し始めると、車両平面視における所定位置を中心としてサイドメンバ結合部24が車両後方側で且つ車両幅方向内側に回転される。その状態で、更にスモールオーバラップ前面衝突時の荷重が車両後方向きに作用した結果、サイドメンバ結合部24が車両後方で且つ車両幅方向内側に移動される。そして、その結果、ガセット20のサイドメンバ結合部24がサイドメンバ10のクロスメンバ結合部を確実に圧し潰し、これによりガセット20のサイドメンバ結合部24がクロスメンバ10に直接的に押当する。 Also, the side member coupling portion 24 of the gusset 20 is made of a high-rigidity member having substantially no deformation rigidity against the load at the time of a frontal collision, and the rigidity of the bumper beam coupling portion 22 of the gusset 20 is small. The rigidity was set so that it would be crushed by the load during a frontal collision. As a result, when the bumper beam connecting portion 22 existing on the vehicle front side and outside in the vehicle width direction of the side member connecting portion 24 begins to be crushed by the load at the time of a small overlap frontal collision, the bumper beam connecting portion 22 is centered at a predetermined position in the vehicle plan view. As a result, the side member coupling portion 24 is rotated toward the vehicle rear side and the vehicle width direction inner side. In that state, the load at the time of a small overlap frontal collision further acts on the vehicle rearward direction, and as a result, the side member coupling portion 24 is moved rearward of the vehicle and inward in the vehicle width direction. As a result, the side member connecting portion 24 of the gusset 20 reliably crushes and crushes the cross member connecting portion of the side member 10, so that the side member connecting portion 24 of the gusset 20 directly presses against the cross member 10.

また、ガセット20は、例えば、応力解析により、スモールオーバラップ前面衝突の荷重でサイドメンバ結合部24がクロスメンバ26に直接的に押当して該荷重が車両前後方向後方及び車両幅方向内側方向に略均等に分散される位置に配置されていることから、スモールオーバラップ前面衝突時の構造体の大幅な車両後方側への移動が確実に回避され、これにより車体前部構造を構成する構造体が車室前方の搭載物に接触するのを回避することができる。 Further, in the gusset 20, for example, by stress analysis, the side member coupling portion 24 directly presses against the cross member 26 by the load of the small overlap frontal collision, and the load is applied to the vehicle front-rear direction rearward and the vehicle width direction inner direction. Since they are arranged at positions substantially evenly distributed in the vehicle, a large amount of movement of the structure toward the rear side of the vehicle at the time of a small overlap frontal collision is surely avoided, and as a result, a structure forming the vehicle body front structure is formed. It is possible to prevent the body from coming into contact with the load in front of the vehicle compartment.

以上、実施の形態に係る車体前部構造について説明したが、本件発明は、上記実施の形態で述べた構成に限定されるものではなく、本件発明の要旨の範囲内で種々変更が可能である。例えば、上記実施の形態は、上記クロスメンバ26の車両後方にモータを搭載する電動車両を前提としたが、本件発明の車体前部構造は、モータとエンジンを併載するハイブリッド車両を始め、駆動源としてエンジンのみを搭載するコンベンショナルな乗用車両などにも同様に適用することができる。 Although the vehicle body front structure according to the embodiment has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the configuration described in the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the gist of the present invention. .. For example, although the above-described embodiment is premised on the electric vehicle in which the motor is mounted on the vehicle rear side of the cross member 26, the vehicle body front structure of the present invention includes a hybrid vehicle in which a motor and an engine are mounted together, and a drive source. The same can be similarly applied to a conventional passenger vehicle equipped with only an engine.
