Engine protection cover plate 9 (Fig. 2) is installed on the car body by linkage, can the last side opening of engine room be closed with opening and closing.
Linkage comprises hinge bracket 6, hinge arms 1 and link pin 8 in this example.
Wherein, hinge bracket 6 can be for example waits and constitutes by steel plate being carried out bending forming, comprising: utilize bolt 13 to be fixed in cover plate back reinforcement (Japanese: the bottom wall portion 6b of 3 upper surfaces Off one De リ one ジ レ イ Application Off オ one ス); And the longitudinal wall part 6f that extends upward from the lateral margin of the overall width direction inboard of bottom wall portion 6b.
This hinge bracket 6 is formed with the arm 6a that slenderly rearward extends with interior side from middle part 6d, be equipped with on this arm 6a from the inboard ora terminalis of the overall width direction of wing 7 downwards with the arm 7a of interior side extension.That is to say, in this example, also adopt the fixedly carriage of wing 7 usefulness of hinge bracket 6 conducts.6g is the through hole that usefulness is installed, and 6h is the nut that usefulness is installed.
On the other hand, hinge arms 1 for example can wait and constitutes by steel plate being carried out bending forming, comprise main wall 1a of portion and the cover plate assembly wall 1b of portion, this main wall 1a of portion roughly points to the elongated extension of posture of overall width direction with its surface and the back side and is rotatably supported on the hinge bracket 6, and this cover plate assembly wall 1b of portion stretches out to overall width direction inboard from the last ora terminalis of the main wall 1a of portion.
The main wall 1a of portion has to see the part that bends to U word shape roughly from the side and be provided with linearity continuously in the place ahead of the part of U word shape roughly and partly form, and the part of U word shape is protruded downwards, interfere with other part so that when engine protection cover plate 9 is opened, avoid, the rearward end of described roughly U word shape part is supported on the hinge bracket 6 rotationally, on the other hand, the last ora terminalis that makes the linearity part forms the cover plate assembly wall 1b of portion to overall width direction inside bend.
On the cover plate assembly wall 1b of portion, be formed with two cover plate mounting hole 1c along fore-and-aft direction devices spaced apart ground, wherein, the formation of the cover plate mounting hole 1c of rear side (near a side of the link pin 8) lifting that partly raises up constitutes jut 1d.
Engine protection cover plate 9 has double-decker at installation portion at least,, with bolt 11 and nut (not shown) the cover plate assembly wall 1b of portion is fixed on the inner 9a of the cover plate of (downside, engine room one side) in this double-deck inboard.In addition, on this part, be provided with cover plate hinge reinforcement (Japanese: Off one De ヒ Application ジ レ イ Application Off オ one ス) 10, improve the rigidity of installation portion.
As mentioned above, by forming jut 1d, have the shape of ladder before and after the cover plate assembly wall 1b of portion becomes, therefore, inner 9a also becomes the shape with ladder with the cover plate of its butt.Here, the hinder marginal part of the inner 9a of cover plate tilts as shown in Figure 2, and ladder is formed on the half-way of this sloping portion.Promptly, utilize this structure, the attachment point of hinge arms 1 is located in sloping portion midway, but this position is compared with the situation of tabular surface that does not form ladder, the attachment point of hinge arms 1 is formed on the rake front side of the inner 9a of cover plate, be to be in the more position of rear (the trailing edge side of engine protection cover plate 9, i.e. a side in close link pin 8 axle center).
On the other hand, in this example, as Fig. 1 and Fig. 4, shown in Figure 5, side at the engine room rear portion, as the cover plate back flange (Japanese Off one De リ Star ジ Off ラ Application ジ) 4 at junction surface between cover plate back reinforcement 3 and the dash side 2, the limit is stretched out upward to roughly vehicle fore-and-aft direction extension setting in the limit.That is to say, dash side 2 extends setting from the side (baffle plate sidepiece) of instrument adapter plate to the engine room rear portion, and at this cover plate back flange 4, with mode such as spot welding with engage to the cover plate back reinforcement 3 that the vehicle fore-and-aft direction extends at the engine room lateral margin as frame member.The 5th, (Japanese: サ ス ペ Application シ ヨ Application ワ one), 5a is its upper surface (attachment face) to the tower that suspends.
In this example, as shown in Figure 5, (Japanese: カ ウ Le ト Star プ カ バ one) 12 side edge part is near the upside of ora terminalis on the cover plate back flange 4, and extends outside the overall width direction that is set to ora terminalis this on to be located at the driving engine upper cover of engine room rear portion top.
Here, in this example, as shown in Figure 4, the main wall 1a of portion that makes hinge arms 1 is with respect to cover plate back flange 4 deviation distance x2 outside the overall width direction, and as shown in Figure 5, with respect to the overall width direction end of driving engine upper cover 12 also to overall width direction outside deviation distance x3.
Utilize this above example, can further improve being applied to the shock absorbing capability of the impact load on the engine protection cover plate 9.
That is to say, at first as mentioned above, in this example, the main wall 1a of portion that makes hinge arms 1 with respect to cover plate back flange 4 to overall width direction (the outside) deviation distance x2.Therefore, when acting on the engine protection cover plate 9 from the top impact load, when making this engine protection cover plate 9 distortion downwards, can suppressing the main wall 1a of portion and the cover plate back flange 4 of hinge arms 1 and interfere mutually.So, can further increase engine protection cover plate 9 deformation stroke downwards, the corresponding shock absorbing capability that improves.
In this example, make overall width direction end to overall width direction outside the deviation distance x3 of the main wall 1a of portion with respect to driving engine upper cover 12 again.Therefore, when acting on the engine protection cover plate 9 from the top impact load, when this engine protection cover plate 9 is out of shape downwards, can suppresses the main wall 1a of portion and the driving engine upper cover 12 of hinge arms 1 and interfere mutually.So, can further increase engine protection cover plate 9 deformation stroke downwards, the corresponding shock absorbing capability that improves.
In addition, the main wall 1a of portion is configured in overall width direction more lateral, can with by the lateral margin of the engine protection cover plate 9 of this main wall 1a of portion supporting promptly this lateral margin and parting line 30 between wing 7 inner edges more easily be configured in outside the overall width direction, help increasing the degree of freedom in the moulding.
In this example, with respect to the position of lower portion 6c, make this longitudinal wall part 6f bending to overall width direction (inboard) deviation distance x1 at the upper portion 6e that makes longitudinal wall part 6f again.Therefore, longitudinal wall part 6f as shown in Figure 7, object 20 from above collide, just swing to easily when making engine protection cover plate 9 be subjected to impact load overall width direction (inboard) with engine protection cover plate 9.Like this, except engine protection cover plate 9 moves and can greatly guarantee the deformation stroke to oblique below, the bending to overall width direction inboard of this engine protection cover plate 9 becomes big, thereby can improve shock absorbing capability.
In this example, as mentioned above, on the cover plate assembly wall 1b of portion of hinge arms 1, be formed with convex jut 1d, on this jut 1d, engine protection cover plate 9 be installed, thus can make this jut 1d with respect to the installation site of engine protection cover plate 9 more near link pin 8.Like this, can shorten center of turn (center of link pin 8) to the length of the moment arm of engine protection cover plate 9 installation sites from engine protection cover plate 9, and can improve the bending stiffness of the cover plate assembly wall 1b of portion of hinge arms 1, so, improve the resonance frequency (characteristic oscillation number) of engine protection cover plate 9 and hinge arms 1, can reduce vibration and sound.
In this example, make elongated and crooked arm 6a elongation from longitudinal wall part 6f, wing 7 is installed on this arm 6a.Like this, when on the engine protection cover plate 9 from above when having acted on impact load, can make rigidity arm 6a greatly (elongation ground) distortion lower than longitudinal wall part 6f, can suppress the crooked restricted situation of longitudinal wall part 6f by wing 7.
In this example, as shown in Figure 7, when on the engine protection cover plate 9 from above collide with object 20, when being subjected to impact load, because hinge bracket 6 is poured overall width direction inboard into, so the main wall 1a of portion of hinge arms 1 also moves downwards along with engine protection cover plate 9, and to overall width direction medial movement distance W, but, preferably preestablish to comprise the specification at interior each several part apart from x1～x3 for the main wall 1a of portion under the state after this distortion does not interfere with cover plate back flange 4 yet.That is, each several part because of from above impact load produce the occasion of distortion, preferably constitute, be not the main wall 1a of portion of hinge arms 1, but the cover plate assembly wall 1b of portion and the cover plate assembly wall 1b of portion cover plate back flange 4 and driving engine upper cover 12 butts.
Preferable example of the present invention more than has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, can does various distortion.For example, make both outsides of overall width direction of direction that member departs between mutually, also inboard.
