Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle body bottom structure capable of more reliably protecting a battery pack at a time of a side collision of a vehicle. A vehicle body bottom structure of the present invention includes a battery pack disposed below a floor panel, a side sill extending in a vehicle front-rear direction outside in a vehicle width direction and a battery side frame allowing the side sill to support the battery pack, wherein the battery side frame has a lower surface positioned outside in the vehicle width direction and positioned lower than a support portion for the battery pack, the support portion being formed inside in the vehicle width direction of the battery side frame.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A vehicle body bottom structure comprising: a battery pack disposed below a floor panel; a side sill extending in a vehicle front-rear direction outside in a vehicle width direction; and a battery side frame extending in the vehicle front-rear direction between the battery pack and the side sill and allowing the side sill to support the battery pack, wherein the battery side frame has a lower surface positioned outside in the vehicle width direction and positioned lower than a support portion for the battery pack, the support portion being formed inside in the vehicle width direction of the battery side frame. 2 . The vehicle body bottom structure according to claim 1 , wherein the battery side frame has a higher strength on an inside in the vehicle width direction thereof than that on an outside in the vehicle width direction thereof. 3 . The vehicle body bottom structure according to claim 1 , wherein a battery cross member extending in the vehicle width direction is disposed in the battery pack, the battery cross member has a rib extending in an extending direction of the battery cross member, and a support portion of the battery side frame for the side sill is provided at a position overlapping an extended line in an extending direction of the rib. 4 . The vehicle body bottom structure according to claim 3 , wherein the battery side frame has an extending portion extending inwardly in the vehicle width direction from the support portion for the side sill, and the extending portion is formed at a position overlapping the extended line of the extending direction of the rib. 5 . The vehicle body bottom structure according to claim 3 , wherein the battery side frame and the battery cross member are vertically connected to each other.
