By the way, in the said floor structure, the through-hole for routing the wire harness which connects a battery and the electrical equipment in an instrument panel may be formed in a mountain-shaped tunnel part.

When a car having such a floor structure collides head-on with a pole-shaped obstacle, the tunnel portion is buckled and deformed, and particularly, the through-hole portion is greatly deformed, so that the wire harness may be disconnected or compressed. There is.

Here, in order to prevent the deformation of the through hole, it may be possible to arrange a reinforcing plate around the through hole, but in order to increase the deformation preventing effect of the through hole, the reinforcing range by the reinforcing plate is expanded, It is necessary to increase the thickness of the reinforcing plate, resulting in an increase in cost and weight.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional situation, and prevents deformation of the through hole for the wire harness without incurring problems of cost increase and weight increase, thereby preventing disconnection or compression of the wire harness. The challenge is to provide a floor structure.

The present invention is such that a dash panel is erected at the front end of the floor panel, and a seat mounting seat is formed at the rear so as to form a step upward, and the vertical position of the seat mounting seat from the dash panel to the center in the vehicle width direction. In the automobile floor structure in which a mountain-shaped tunnel extending in the vehicle longitudinal direction to the wall is formed,
An inclined wall that is inclined obliquely upward is provided at the front end of the tunnel portion, a through hole through which a wire harness is inserted is formed in the upper wall of the tunnel portion, and a reinforcing plate that covers the periphery of the through hole of the upper wall is formed on the upper wall. The reinforcing plate is fixed to the wall, and the rear end portion of the reinforcing plate is positioned near the lower end portion of the vertical wall portion of the seat mounting seat.

According to the automobile floor structure of the present invention, a reinforcing plate that covers the periphery of the through hole is provided on the upper wall of the tunnel portion, and the rear end portion of the reinforcing plate is positioned near the lower end portion of the vertical wall portion of the seat mounting seat. Therefore, the vicinity of the lower end is the weakest portion having the lowest strength and rigidity. Further, the inclined wall provided at the front end of the tunnel portion has a function of causing the collision force to act obliquely upward when the vicinity of the center portion in the width direction of the vehicle collides with, for example, a pole-shaped obstacle.

Thereby, before the through-hole vicinity buckles and deforms, bending deformation in which the tunnel portion is bent so as to rotate upward from the weakest portion is stably induced. As a result, disconnection or compression of the wire harness can be avoided.

In the present invention, since the above-mentioned effect can be realized only by forming an inclined wall in the tunnel portion and positioning the rear end portion of the reinforcing plate near the lower end portion of the vertical wall portion of the seat mounting seat, the reinforcing range can be expanded. , There is no need to increase the thickness of the reinforcing plate, and therefore no increase in cost and weight occurs.
