Vehicle front structure

a front structure and vehicle technology, applied in the direction of roofs, transportation and packaging, vehicle arrangements, etc., can solve the problems of preventing the absorption of frontal impact load through the deformation of front side frames, and the front structures are not capable of absorbing frontal impact load, so as to facilitate the downward bending of the reinforcing member and improve the rigidity

Abstract

A vehicle front structure includes a cross member installed across right and left front side frames. The left front side frame has a frame bending section provided above a left suspension arm. The frame bending section is formed so as to be bendable when subjected to a frontal impact load. A left reinforcing member is disposed below the frame bending section and is mounted across the cross member and the dash cross member. The left reinforcing member is fastened to a rear fastening portion. The left reinforcing member has a bending section that is bendable downward when subjected to an impact load.

Description

CROSS REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] The present application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119 to Japanese Patent Application No. 2014-174197, filed Aug. 28, 2014, entitled “VEHICLE FRONT STRUCTURE”. The contents of this application are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.BACKGROUND

[0002] 1. Field

[0003] The present disclosure relates to a vehicle front structure that has front side frames provided on right and left sides thereof and suspension arms supported below the front side frames.

[0004] 2. Description of the Related Art

[0005] Some vehicle front structures have subframes provided below right and left front side frames and have engines or other power sources supported by the subframes. A subframe is a highly rigid member that supports an engine or other power source. When subjected to a frontal impact load, such a highly rigid subframe bends, thereby absorbing the impact load (see, for example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2005-27...
