It has a cross-sectional shape, extends in the vehicle body width direction along the lower surface of the spare tire pan 22, and is joined to the lower surface of the spare tire pan 22 to form a closed cross-sectional shape (see FIG. 5). As shown in FIG. 6, the inside of the groove shape of the second rear floor cross member 26 extends forward and backward in the groove shape at each of two left and right sides as shown in FIG. Thus, the bulkhead members 28 and 30 for separating the inside of the groove shape are joined.

  The second rear floor cross member 26 has two left and right bulging portions 26 </ b> A that bulge downward at a portion located below the concave portion 22 </ b> A of the spare tire pan 22. The left and right bulging portions 26A are formed with lower arm attachment portions 26B that support the left and right lower arms 110 of the rear wheel suspension. Each of the lower arm attachment portions 26B has a bracket structure that supports both of the support shafts 112. One end portion (inner end) of the lower arm 110 extending in the vehicle width direction is horizontally supported in the vehicle longitudinal direction by the support shaft 112. The center axis is supported so as to be rotatable. In this way, the second rear floor cross member 26 forms a suspension mounting cross member that is essential for the rear wheel suspension.

  Trailing arm attachment portions (trailing arm attachment points) 14A that support the left and right trailing arms 114 of the rear wheel suspension are formed at the lower bottoms near the front ends of the left and right rear frames 14. The trailing arm mounting portion 14A is in front of the vehicle body in the vehicle longitudinal direction position corresponding to the arrangement position of the first rear floor cross member 24 (see FIG. 4). The trailing arm mounting portion 14A has a concave shape when the rear frame 14 is viewed from the lower surface side, and is fixed to the lower bottom portion of the rear frame 14 so as to rotatably support the front end (base end) of the trailing arm 114. The upper half of the bracket 116 is received.

  Each of the left and right trailing arms 114 has a rear end (front end) connected to the other end (outer end) of the left and right lower arms 110 so as to be pivotable. In the vicinity of the rear ends of the left and right trailing arms 114, mounting portions 114A for left and right rear wheel knuckle members (not shown) are formed. The trailing arm mounting portion 14A of the rear frame 14 is located in front of the vehicle body from the vehicle longitudinal direction position corresponding to the position of the first rear floor cross member 24 (see FIG. 4).

  Next, a support structure for the battery case 90 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3 and FIGS. 7 to 9. The battery case 90 is supported by a first lower cross member 40, a second lower cross member 42, a third lower cross member 44, and a fourth lower cross member 46 provided at four locations in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body. Yes. The first lower cross member 40 is located at the foremost side of the vehicle body, whereby the second to fourth lower cross members 42, 44, and 46 are sequentially arranged behind the vehicle body at a predetermined longitudinal interval. The first to fourth lower cross members 40, 42, 44, and 46 are each formed by joining two press-formed steel plates and have a flat closed cross-sectional shape.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the first lower cross member 40 extends horizontally so as to cross the lower surface side of the battery case 90 in the vehicle body width direction, and both ends thereof are respectively left and right from the floor frames 12. It is detachably fixed to the lower end of the suspended box-shaped leg member 48 with a bolt 50 or the like. The first lower cross member 40 is fixed to the lower surface of the battery case 90 by a plurality of bolts 52 between the left and right floor frames 12, and supports the battery case 90 from below.

  Similarly, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the second lower cross member 42 extends horizontally so as to cross the lower surface side of the battery case 90 in the vehicle body width direction, and has both ends of the left and right floor frames. 12 are respectively detachably fixed to the lower ends of box-shaped leg members 54 depending from each other by bolts 56 or the like. The second lower cross member 42 is fixed to the lower surface of the battery case 90 by a plurality of bolts 58 between the left and right floor frames 12, and supports the battery case 90 from below.

  The upper ends of the leg members 48 and 54 are fixed to the floor frame 12 by welding.

  Outriggers 60 and 62 are provided between the left and right floor frames 12 and the side sill 16 at the position in the vehicle longitudinal direction corresponding to the positions of the first lower cross member 40 and the second lower cross member 42. Yes. The outriggers 60 and 62 are joined to the floor frame 12 and the side sill 16 to form a box shape.

  The outriggers 60 and 62 have lower strength and lower rigidity than the floor frame 12 and the side sill 16 and are weaker than the floor frame 12 and the side sill 16. For example, the outriggers 60 and 62 are made of plain steel plates having a small thickness. Acts as an impact-absorbing member that is crushed (plastically deformed) by side impact energy greater than the value.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, 7, and 8, a connecting member 64 is provided between the vicinity of the rear ends of the left and right floor frames 12 and the vicinity of the rear ends of the left and right side sills 16. ing. The connecting member 64 has a groove-like cross-sectional shape and is joined to each lower surface of the floor frame 12, the side sill 16, and the front floor panel 18 by a flange piece 64A provided at each edge portion to form a box shape.

  Since the connecting member 64 connects the floor frame 12 and the side sill 16, the rigidity of the rear part of the vehicle body is improved and the road noise performance is improved. Further, similar to the outriggers 60 and 62, the floor frame 12 and the side sill 16 may be lower in strength and rigidity, and more fragile than the floor frame 12 and the side sill 16. In this case, the connecting member 64 also functions as an impact absorbing member that is crushed (plastically deformed) by side collision energy of a predetermined value or more.

  The third lower cross member (fourth cross member) 44 extends horizontally so as to cross the lower surface side of the battery case 90 in the vehicle body width direction, and both ends thereof are fixed to the left and right connecting members 64. The third lower cross member 44 is fixed to the connecting member 64 by a bolt 70 and a nut 72 that pass through the mounting member 66 having a U-shaped cross section and the collar member 68 disposed inside the mounting member 66. It has been broken. The third lower cross member 44 is fixed to the bottom surface of the battery case 90 between the left and right floor frames 12 by welding, and supports the battery case 90 from below.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the upper ends of the left and right leg members 76 are detachably fixed to the left and right sides of the lower surface of the first rear floor cross member 24 by bolts 74 with the rear floor panel 20 interposed therebetween. The left and right leg members 76 are high-rigidity members having ribs 76 </ b> A, are located on the inner side in the vehicle body width direction from the left and right rear frames 14, and are suspended from the first rear floor cross member 24.

  The fourth lower cross member (third cross member) 46 extends horizontally so as to cross the lower surface side of the battery case 90 in the vehicle body width direction, and both ends are connected to the lower ends of the left and right leg members 76 via the collar 80. The bolt 78 and the nut 79 are detachably fixed. The fourth lower cross member 46 is fixed to the bottom surface of the battery case 90 between the left and right floor frames 12 by welding, and supports the battery case 90 from below.

  In this way, the fourth lower cross member 46 is disposed behind the trailing arm attachment portion 14A, which is the attachment portion of the trailing arm 114 to the rear frame 14, and the battery case 90 is located behind the trailing arm attachment portion 14A. The rear end side is supported.

  Since the fourth lower cross member 46 is fixed to the first rear floor cross member 24 via the leg member 76 not on the rear frame 14 but on the inner side in the vehicle width direction from the rear frame 14, it interferes with the trailing arm 114. The rear end side of the battery case 90 can be supported behind the trailing arm attachment portion 14A. Thus, the battery case 90 can be extended to the vicinity of the rear wheel axle arrangement behind the trailing arm mounting portion 14A, and the battery stored in the battery case 90 can be used under the floor panel effectively. The capacity of the pack 92 is increased.

  In the embodiment described above, the first lower cross member 40 and the second lower cross member 42 are fixed to the battery case 90 by bolt fastening, and the third lower cross member 44 and the fourth lower cross member 46 are fixed to the battery case 90. Although it is welded, all of this may be done by bolting or welding.

  Since the first to fourth lower cross members 40, 42, 44, 46 are fixed to the floor frame 12, the connecting member 64, and the leg member 76 by detachable bolts 50, 56, 70, 78, the battery Attachment and removal of the case 90 can be easily performed from below the floor panel.

  As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 5, and 7, two right and left rods 82 are bridged between the second rear floor cross member 26 and the fourth lower cross member 46. . Each of the left and right rods 82 has a rear end coupled to the center of the second rear floor cross member 26 in the vehicle width direction by a bolt 84 and a front end coupled to the end of the fourth lower cross member 46 in the vehicle width direction by a bolt 86. Thus, it is arranged in a “C” shape in plan view.

  The positions at which the rear ends of the left and right rods 82 are connected to the second rear floor cross member 26 are positions adjacent to the inner side in the vehicle width direction of the left and right lower arm attachment portions 26B, respectively, on the valley-side inclined surfaces between the two bulging portions 26A. It is in.

  Each of the left and right rods 82 has a bent portion 82A bent downward at the front end vicinity portion and the rear end vicinity portion, and the space between the front and rear bent portions 82A is as shown in FIG. The bulging portion 82B bulges downward from the lower surface of the battery case 90. The bulging portion 82B prevents a curb collision between the attachment point of the rod 82 to the second rear floor cross member 26 and the attachment point of the lower arm 110 to the second rear floor cross member 26 when retreating.

  Further, the left and right rods 82 form a truss structure in cooperation with the second rear floor cross member 26 and the fourth lower cross member 46.

  As a result, the strength of the second rear floor cross member 26 against the vehicle body tilting in the longitudinal direction is improved, and the movement of the second rear floor cross member 26 toward the front of the vehicle body at the time of a rear collision is suppressed. Thus, it is avoided that the second rear floor cross member 26 for supporting the lower arm of the rear wheel suspension hits the rear part of the battery case 90 by the forward movement at the time of the rear collision, and the protection of the battery case 90 against the rear collision is two in the left and right directions. Only the addition of the rod 82 can be appropriately performed without significant addition of parts.

  Further, the two left and right rods 82 form a truss structure with the second rear floor cross member 26 and the fourth lower cross member 46, whereby the lateral rigidity of the lower arm mounting portion 26B is improved. As a result, the lateral rigidity of the lower arm 110 is improved and the stability of the geometry of the rear wheel suspension is improved. Thereby, steering stability performance improves. The effect of improving the maneuverability is that the position of the rear end of the left and right rods 82 connected to the second rear floor cross member 26 is located adjacent to the inner side in the vehicle width direction of the lower arm mounting portion 26B. It will be located in the vicinity of the lower arm attachment portion 26B, and the lateral rigidity of the lower arm attachment portion 26B will be effectively improved and will be remarkable.

  When the collision energy exceeding the allowable value is applied to the second rear floor cross member 26 due to the rear collision, the rod 82 is bent. As a result, the collision energy of the rear collision is absorbed by the bending of the rod 82, and a large collision load is avoided from acting on the battery case 90. Since the bending of the rod 82 due to the collision energy is likely to be generated by the bent portion 82A, the bending performance of the rod 82 due to the collision energy can be set by the bent shape of the bent portion 82A.

  Further, the bulging portion 82B of the rod 82 located below the battery case 90 is a curb in the back curb mode in which the curb (projection from the road surface) passes between the left and right rear tires when the vehicle moves backward. Functions as a grounding guard that prevents the battery case 90 from contacting (grounding).

  As shown in FIG. 1, a plate-like under cover 89 that covers the entire lower surface of the battery case 90 is provided below the first to fourth lower cross members 40, 42, 44, 46. 12 and side sill 16 are detachably attached. The under cover 89 protects the battery case 90 against grounding, stepping stones, and the like.

  Further, a grounding guard member 88 having a V-shaped cross section projecting downward from the second rear floor cross member 26 is attached to the center of the second rear floor cross member 26 in the vehicle width direction. The ground guard member 88 also serves as a jack-up plate, and functions as a ground guard that prevents the curb from contacting (grounding) the battery case 90 in the back curb mode.

  Although the present invention has been described above with reference to preferred embodiments, the present invention is not limited to such embodiments so that those skilled in the art can easily understand, and departs from the spirit of the present invention. It is possible to change appropriately within the range not to be.

  For example, the rear frame 14 may be integrated with the side sill 16 or the floor frame 12. The floor frame 12 may not be joined to the rear frame 14, and the rear end of the floor frame 12 may be joined to the left and right side sills 16 or the floor cross member connecting the rear frame 14. Further, the floor frame 12, the rear frame 14, and the side sill 16 may each be formed by joining a plurality of constituent members. The rod 82 may bulge downward from the lower surface of the battery case by bending. The first to fourth lower cross members 40, 42, 44, 46 can be fixed to the side members by using other detachable fasteners such as clips, without using the bolts 50, 56, 70, 78. You may go.

  In addition, all the components shown in the above embodiment are not necessarily essential, and can be appropriately selected without departing from the gist of the present invention.
