A battery mounting structure for a vehicle includes: a battery frame made of fiber reinforced resin and fastened and fixed to a vehicle body via a plurality of first fastening portions; a battery fastened and fixed to the battery frame via a plurality of second fastening portions; and a ductile member provided between the first fastening portion and the second fastening portion.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A battery mounting structure for a vehicle, comprising: a battery frame made of fiber reinforced resin and fastened and fixed to a vehicle body via a plurality of first fastening portions; a battery fastened and fixed to the battery frame via a plurality of second fastening portions; and a ductile member provided over the first fastening portion and the second fastening portion, wherein the ductile member is made of metal. 2. The battery mounting structure for a vehicle, according to claim 1 , wherein the ductile member is provided over the first fastening portion and the second fastening portion adjacent to each other. 3. The battery mounting structure for a vehicle, according to claim 1 , wherein: a plurality of fastening pairs each including the first fastening portion and the second fastening portion adjacent to each other is placed so as to be distanced from each other in a vehicle-body front-rear direction and in a vehicle width direction; and the ductile member is extended so as to connect the plurality of fastening pairs in the vehicle-body front-rear direction or in the vehicle width direction. 4. The battery mounting structure for a vehicle, according to claim 1 , wherein: a plurality of fastening pairs each including the first fastening portion and the second fastening portion adjacent to each other is placed so as to be distanced from each other in a vehicle-body front-rear direction and in a vehicle width direction; and the ductile member is extended so as to connect the plurality of fastening pairs in the vehicle-body front-rear direction and in the vehicle width direction. 5. The battery mounting structure for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the ductile member is formed in a flat shape. 6. The battery mounting structure for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein: the battery frame includes a battery frame upper and a battery frame lower configured such that their outer peripheral portions are joined to each other so as to form a closed section; and the ductile member is provided inside the closed section. 7. The battery mounting structure for a vehicle, according to claim 6 , wherein: the ductile member includes an upper member and a lower member configured such that their flange portions are joined to each other so as to form a closed section; and a flange portion of the upper member and a flange portion of the lower member, in the outer peripheral portion side, are sandwiched between the outer peripheral portion of the battery frame upper and the outer peripheral portion of the battery frame lower, so as to be joined to each other.
