Abstract

An assembling structure of a vehicle body may include side sill members provided in a length direction of a vehicle at both side portions of a lower portion of the vehicle body, respectively, a dash cross member provided in a width direction of the vehicle, both side end portions thereof being assembled to front end portions of the side sill members, center members provided in the length direction of the vehicle between the side sill members and a central portion of the vehicle body, front end portions thereof being assembled to a lower end portion of the dash cross member, and reinforcing members provided in the width direction of the vehicle between the center members and the side sill members, a first end portion of each reinforcing members being assembled to the center members and a second end portion of each reinforcing members being assembled to the side sill members.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An assembling structure of a vehicle body, comprising:
side sill members provided in a length direction of a vehicle at both side portions of a lower portion of the vehicle body, respectively;
a dash cross member provided in a width direction of the vehicle, both side end portions thereof being assembled to front end portions of the side sill members that they face, respectively;
center members provided in the length direction of the vehicle between the side sill members and a central portion of the vehicle body, front end portions thereof being assembled to a lower end portion of the dash cross member; and
reinforcing members provided in the width direction of the vehicle between the center members and the side sill members, a first end portion of each of the reinforcing members being assembled to the center members and a second end portion of each of the reinforcing members being assembled to the side sill members,
wherein both side portions of the dash cross member are molded at a thickness thicker than the central portion thereof, and the side sill members, the reinforcing members, and the center members comprise materials having strength higher than materials of the dash cross member.

2. The assembling structure of the vehicle body of claim 1 , wherein the dash cross member is surface-adhered to a lower end of a rear surface of a dash panel extended in a height direction of the vehicle between the front end portions of the side sill members.

3. The assembling structure of the vehicle body of claim 1 , further comprising:
A-pillar members provided in a height direction of the vehicle, lower end portions thereof being assembled to the front end portions of the side sill members;
a cowl beam provided in the width direction of the vehicle, both side portions thereof being assembled to central portions of the A-pillar members the side portions face, respectively; and
a center supporter provided in the height direction of the vehicle, an upper end portion thereof being assembled to a central portion of the cowl beam and a lower end portion thereof being assembled to a central portion of the dash cross member.

4. The assembling structure of the vehicle body of claim 3 , wherein both side portions of the dash cross member are molded at a thickness thicker than the central portion thereof, and the side sill members, the reinforcing members, a center member, the center supporter, the cowl beam, and the A-pillar members are made of materials having strength higher than that of the dash cross member.

5. The assembling structure of the vehicle body of claim 1 , further comprising rear lower members comprising a material having strength higher than that of the dash cross member and provided in the length direction of the vehicle below the dash cross member and the center members.

6. The assembling structure of the vehicle body of claim 5 , further comprising front side members comprising a material having strength lower than that of the rear lower members and provided in the length direction of the vehicle at both side portions of the front of the dash cross member, rear end portions thereof being assembled to front end portions of the rear lower members.
