  • the rear part of the side sill and the quarter pillar reinforce are joined via the quarter lock pillar reinforce.
  • the joint portion between the quarter pillar reinforcement and the quarter lock pillar reinforcement is formed in a V shape. Therefore, the joint portion is a portion where stress is likely to concentrate when a load is input due to a side collision, for example.
  • the quarter pillar reinforcement is formed by a first reinforcement and a second reinforcement.
  • the second reinforcement is overlapped and joined to the quarter pillar reinforcement.
  • the second reinforcement is overlapped and joined to the first reinforcement. That is, the plate thickness is increased by superimposing the two members at the joint and at a position relatively close to the joint, and the rigidity of the joint is secured.
  • it is possible to suppress the deformation of the joint portion when the load is input by the side collision load and to secure the vehicle body rigidity (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
  • Patent Document 1 requires three members, a quarter pillar reinforcement, a first reinforcement, and a second reinforcement to secure the rigidity of the joint (that is, the rigidity of the vehicle body). To do. Therefore, the weight of the vehicle body is increased, and there is room for improvement from this viewpoint. Aspects of the present invention have been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle body side structure capable of reducing the weight of a vehicle body and ensuring vehicle body rigidity.

  • a rear end portion of the side sill is connected to a lower front portion of the outer rear wheel house and a lower end portion of the rear wheel house reinforcing member. Therefore, it is difficult to preferably crush the rear end portion of the side sill by the input load. Therefore, it is difficult to uniformly crush and deform the side sill inward in the vehicle width direction by the load input by the side collision.

Accordingly, the rear end portion of the side sill can be suitably deformed inward in the vehicle width direction, and the side sill can be uniformly deformed inward in the vehicle width direction.

Thereby, for example, the degree of freedom in design can be increased when determining the shape of the rear door opening. Also, beads were formed on the top of the lower. Thereby, the lower top can be reinforced with the bead, and the strength of the lower top can be secured.

  • the reason why the upper portion of the closed cross-section skeleton 50 (upper closed cross-section 96) is set to have a lower strength than other parts is as follows. That is, for example, when the lower reinforcing member 51 and the upper reinforcing member 52 have the same strength, when the load F3 is input to the closed cross-section skeleton 50 due to the side collision of the vehicle, the closed cross-section skeleton 50 is favorably located inside the vehicle width direction.

Therefore, it is difficult to uniformly deform the side sill 12 inward in the vehicle width direction by the load F3 input by the side collision.
  • the strength of the upper reinforcing member 52 is made lower than that of the lower reinforcing member 51 by gradually converging the upper closed section 96 of the upper reinforcing member 52 toward the pillar open section of the quarter pillar inner 45 to reduce the area. Set. Therefore, when the load F3 is input to the closed cross-section skeleton 50 due to the side collision of the vehicle, the upper reinforcing member 52 can be suitably deformed. By appropriately deforming the upper reinforcing member 52, it is possible to deform the closed cross-section skeleton 50 so as to be appropriately crushed inward in the vehicle width direction. As a result, the rear end portion 12a of the side sill 12 can be suitably deformed inward in the vehicle width direction, and the side sill 12 can be uniformly deformed inward in the vehicle width direction.
  • a step portion extending in the vehicle width direction is formed on the upper surface of the rear end portion 23a of the side sill stiffener 23 (not shown), and the front end portion 51a of the lower reinforcing member 51 is superposed on the step portion from the inside.
