Vehicle body structure

摘要

Junction regions are formed by mutually joined side portions of a pillar inner and a pillar outer, and an opening-defining region is formed by mutually spaced side portions of the pillar inner and the pillar outer. The junction regions include a first junction region adjacent to the opening-defining region on one side in a longitudinal direction and a second junction region adjacent to the opening-defining region on the other side in the longitudinal direction. A bypass connection wall connecting the opening-defining region and at least one of the first junction region and the second junction region extends from at least one of the pillar inner and the pillar outer.

1. A vehicle body structure comprising:
a pillar having a hollow cross section continuously extending in a longitudinal direction thereof and having a pillar inner and a pillar outer, wherein a side edge portion of the pillar inner is joined to a side edge portion of the pillar outer, wherein at least one lengthwise side of the pillar includes a junction region in which the side edge portion of the pillar inner and the side edge portion of the pillar outer are joined to each other, and an opening-defining region in which the side edge portion of the pillar inner is spaced apart from the side edge portion of the pillar outer, wherein the junction region includes a first junction region adjacent to the opening-defining region on one side thereof in the longitudinal direction and a second junction region adjacent to the opening-defining region on the other side thereof in the longitudinal direction, and wherein the vehicle body structure further includes a bypass connection wall connecting the opening-defining region to at least one of the first junction region and the second junction region, the bypass connection wall extending from at least one of the pillar inner and the pillar outer.
