Publication number: 20260217316Abstract: A vehicle lower portion structure includes a left and right pair of side frames, a battery pack, a cross member, and an energy absorption member. In a bottom view, a vehicle width direction outer side end portion of the cross member is bent toward a vehicle front-rear direction outer side, starting from a portion at which the vehicle width direction outer side end portion reaches the energy absorption member, and is attached to one of the side frames, and a vehicle front-rear direction outer side end portion of the energy absorption member is disposed along a face, of the vehicle width direction outer side end portion of the cross member, that faces toward a vehicle front-rear direction inner side. A reinforcing member is provided at a portion at which the cross member is bent.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 10, 2025Publication date: July 30, 2026Inventors: Hisashi MISAWA, Ryosuke CHIKAZAWA

Publication number: 20260138676Abstract: A vehicle lower section structure including a battery and an energy absorption member. The energy absorption member includes an upper wall, a lower wall, and plural upright partitioning walls that form plural spaces. The spaces along a vehicle width direction from an outermost space to a freely selected space of the spaces are provided alternately with either a pair of first indentations in a lower face of the upper wall indented toward a vehicle upper side of the space and in an upper face of the lower wall indented toward a vehicle lower side of the space, or a pair of second indentations in an upper face of the upper wall indented toward the vehicle lower side of the space and in a lower face of the lower wall indented toward the vehicle upper side of the space.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2025Publication date: May 21, 2026Applicant: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Ryosuke CHIKAZAWA, Hisashi MISAWA, Akira TSUNEKAWA

Patent number: 9073578Abstract: A vehicle underbody structure capable of maintaining coupling between a brace and a floor frame against a load transmitted from the front side through the brace is provided, even without making a mechanical strength of a coupling portion between the brace and the floor frames particularly high. A brace is provided with a front-side coupling member and a rear-side coupling member, and the front-side coupling member and the rear-side coupling member are connected together by a load transmission section that is substantially M-shaped in plan view. The rear-side coupling member is connected to outside load transmission members of the load transmission section further to a left-right direction central side than a coupling portion of the rear-side coupling member to each floor frame. A load transmitted to the rear-side coupling member accordingly attempts to deform the rear-side coupling member about a rear end portion of the outside load transmission members.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2011Date of Patent: July 7, 2015Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Ryosuke Chikazawa
