An in-vehicle device fixing structure includes: a base member including a bottom wall, a first side wall, and a second side wall; a box-shaped in-vehicle device including a first side face opposed to the first side wall, a second side face opposed to the second side wall, a third side face provided on a side opposite to the first side face, and a fourth side face provided on a side opposite to the second side face; a holding member including a third-side-face holding portion opposed to the third side face, a fourth-side-face holding portion opposed to the fourth side face, and a fastening portion attached to the bottom wall via a fastener and having a plate shape; and an in-vehicle device locking portion provided in at least the base member and the holding member, and configured to restrain a movement of the in-vehicle device toward the vehicle upper side.

In-vehicle device fixing structure and structure for fixing in-vehicle device

A vehicle front portion structure including: a front side member that extends in a vehicle longitudinal direction at a vehicle transverse direction outer side portion of a vehicle front portion and includes a projecting portion that projects-out toward a vehicle transverse direction outer side at an outer side wall at a front end portion; a spacer that is provided at a vehicle transverse direction outer side of the front side member and is fastened to the outer side wall at a vehicle front side of the projecting portion, and that has an adjacent portion that is adjacent to a vehicle transverse direction outer side of the projecting portion; and an engaging portion that is formed at the spacer and is disposed at a vehicle front side with respect to the projecting portion, and that engages with a front end of the projecting portion in the vehicle longitudinal direction.

Vehicle front portion structure

An upper and lower pair of first beads that extend in a longitudinal direction are formed at an inner side wall of a front side spacer. The first beads project to the vehicle width direction outer side. Therefore, when a collision load diagonally to the rear-left side is inputted to a front end portion of the inner side wall, the first beads act to support the inner side wall adjacent above and below the first beads from the vehicle width direction outer side. Accordingly, tilting deformation of the inner side wall toward the vehicle width direction outer side at the beginning of a micro-wrap collision of a vehicle is suppressed. An overall dimension in the vertical direction of the general portions of the inner side wall is specified to be greater than an overall dimension in the vertical direction of the first beads.

A vehicle body frame includes: side frames that have at least inner walls that are disposed at vehicle transverse direction inner sides and upper walls that are disposed at vehicle body vertical direction upper sides, and that are formed as closed cross-sectional structures, and that extend in a vehicle body longitudinal direction, and that are fastened and fixed to under members that are disposed at a vehicle body lower side of a floor panel; and an upper frame that is disposed further toward a vehicle transverse direction inner side than the inner walls and at a height that is lower than the upper walls, and at which an installed object is installed.

Vehicle body frame and vehicle underfloor structure

At a vehicle lower portion structure S, a first inclined portionis formed at a rear end portion of a first undercover, and a second inclined portionis formed at a front end portion of a second undercover. The second inclined portionoverlaps at least a portion of the first inclined portionas seen in a vehicle plan view and a vehicle front view. An exhaust portionis demarcated and formed by the first inclined portionand the second inclined portion. An underfloor space UA and a space within an engine compartmentare communicated by the exhaust portion. Hot air within the engine compartmentcan be made to flow via the exhaust portiontoward the underfloor space UA.

Vehicle lower portion structure

A ceiling portion of a service plug cover that is made of resin is convex toward a vehicle vertical direction lower side (floor panel side), and a groove-shaped concave portion is formed in a top surface. Further, the concave portion of the top surface of the ceiling portion is groove-shaped, and both end portions thereof in a groove direction (vehicle longitudinal direction) are open.

Service hole cover and unit mounting structure for vehicle

A vehicle lower portion structure has: an undercover that is fixed to a lower portion of a vehicle body, and that covers a bottom surface side of the vehicle body; rockers that extend in a vehicle longitudinal direction at both sides in a vehicle transverse direction at the lower portion of the vehicle body; and rocker moldings that are fixed to the lower portion of the vehicle body, and are disposed at vehicle transverse direction outer sides of the undercover, and are provided from vehicle transverse direction outer sides of the rockers to vehicle lower sides. End portions at the vehicle transverse direction outer sides of the undercover, and end portions at vehicle transverse direction inner sides of the rocker moldings, are superposed one on another at least in a vehicle vertical direction.

An outer energy absorbing member and an inner energy absorbing member are mounted on a lower surface side of a vehicle bottom part. The outer energy absorbing member and the inner energy absorbing member are arranged adjacent and in parallel to each other in a vehicle width direction. A recessed engagement part is formed in a side end part of the outer energy absorbing member on an inner side in the vehicle width direction, and a projecting engagement part is formed in a side end part of the inner energy absorbing member on an outer side in the vehicle width direction. The recessed engagement part and the projecting engagement part are engaged with each other at a time of side impact.

Vehicle lower part structure

A vehicle lower structure includes a plurality of spat body portions and a guide portion. The spat body portions are provided side by side in a vehicle longitudinal direction on a vehicle front side of a wheel, are protruded from an underfloor of the vehicle toward a vehicle lower side, and extend in a vehicle width direction. The guide portion constitutes vehicle-width-direction outer regions of the spat body portions in at least one of second and subsequent rows from a vehicle rear side, is inclined toward the vehicle rear side and outward in the vehicle width direction to guide a traveling wind, and has a vehicle-width-direction outer end that is arranged more outward in the vehicle width direction than a vehicle-width-direction outer end of the spat body portion that is adjacent to the vehicle rear side.

Vehicle lower structure

A bumper module including a body portion that is positioned between a front bumper cover and a heat exchanger in a vehicle front-and-rear direction and is disposed extending in a vehicle width direction and the vehicle front-and-rear direction; plural longitudinal ribs that are integrally formed on a lower surface of the body portion, extend toward a vehicle lower side, are disposed extending in the vehicle front-and-rear direction, and are lined up at intervals apart from each other in the vehicle width direction; and an air guide rib that is integrally formed on an upper surface of the body portion, extends toward a vehicle upper side, guides cooling air from a vehicle front to the heat exchanger, and whose front end is unaligned in at least one direction of the vehicle width direction and the vehicle front-and-rear direction with respect to front ends of the plural longitudinal ribs.
