When the second module plate 4B is attached to the dash panel body 3 in the inserted state, the installation hole 11B formed on the upper side of the pedal attachment portion 9 and the second module plate 4B are formed. The installation hole 15 </ b> B is in communication with the installation hole 11 </ b> B, and the installation hole 11 </ b> A formed on the lower side of the pedal attachment portion 9 is covered with the substrate 12 of the second module plate 4 </ b> B.

  The pedal member 2 includes a mounting plate 16 mounted on the substrate 12 of the module plate 4, support brackets 17 and 18 provided on the mounting plate 16, and brakes pivotally supported by the support brackets 17 and 18, respectively. A pedal 19 and an accelerator pedal 20 are provided, and the mounting plate 16 projects from the lower mounting bolt 10A or the upper mounting bolt 10B projecting from the upper pedal mounting portion 9 and from the module plate 4. The insertion holes 21 through which the screw shafts of the stud bolts 14 are inserted are formed at four locations.

  When assembling the vehicle body using the members configured as described above, the dash panel body 3 constituting most of the dash panel member 1 and the first and second modules attached to the dash panel body 3 After the plates 4A and 4B are formed separately, the pedal member 2 having the brake pedal 19 and the accelerator pedal 20 that are operated by the occupant during traveling is passed through one of the first and second module plates 4A and 4B. The dash panel member 1 is configured by attaching to the dash panel body 3. Then, by installing the dash panel member 1 between the cowl panel and the floor panel 5 and assembling the dash panel member 1 to the vehicle body, the vehicle body in which the pedal member 2 is attached to a predetermined position of the dash panel member 1 is assembled. .

  For example, as shown by the arrow in FIG. 3, the stud bolt 14 protruding from the first module plate 4 </ b> A and the screw shaft of the lower mounting bolt 10 </ b> A are inserted into the insertion hole 21 of the pedal member 2, The pedal member 2 is attached to the lower side of the pedal attachment portion 9 via the first module plate 4A by screwing the nuts 22 to the screw shafts of the lower attachment bolt 10A, the upper attachment bolt 10B, and the stud bolt 14, respectively. . On the other hand, as shown by the arrow in FIG. 4, in the state where the screw shafts of the stud bolt 14 and the upper mounting bolt 10 </ b> B protruding from the second module plate 4 </ b> B are inserted through the insertion holes 21 of the pedal member 2. The pedal member 2 is attached to the upper side of the pedal attachment portion 9 via the second module plate 4B by screwing the nuts 22 to the screw shafts of the upper attachment bolt 10A, the lower attachment bolt 10B, and the stud bolt 14, respectively. It will be.

  In the dash panel structure of the vehicle comprising the dash panel member 1 constituting the front wall portion of the passenger compartment as described above, and the pedal member 2 provided on the dash panel member 1 and operated by an occupant during traveling, A part of the dash panel member 1 is formed separately as a module plate 4 and the pedal member 2 is attached to the dash panel member 1 via the module plate 4. By changing the mounting position of the pedal member 2 attached to the dash panel member 1 via the module plate 4 while making the structure of the dash panel body 3 to be configured common, the pedal member with respect to the dash panel member 1 with a simple configuration The mounting position of 2 can be easily changed according to the vehicle type etc. There is an advantage that kill.

  For example, as shown by the solid line in FIG. 5, in the case of a vehicle type in which the vehicle height is low and the seating position of the occupant is correspondingly low, the first module plate 4A is selected and the dash panel is selected. By attaching to the dash panel body 3 of the member 1, the mounting height of the pedal member 2 can be set to a low position A. On the other hand, as shown by the phantom line in FIG. 5, in the case of a vehicle type in which the vehicle height is high and the seating position of the occupant is correspondingly high, the second module plate 4B is selected and the dash is selected. By attaching to the dash panel main body 3 of the panel member 1, the attachment height of the pedal member 2 can be set to the high position B.

  Accordingly, the structure of the dash panel body 3 attached to each of a plurality of types of vehicles can be made common to improve the productivity effectively, and the installation height of the pedal member 2 can be changed according to the type of vehicle. Thus, there is an advantage that the brake pedal 19 and the accelerator pedal 20 provided on the pedal member 2 can be disposed at positions suitable for operation.

When the first module plate 4A is attached to the dash panel body 3, the lower installation hole 11A communicates with the installation hole 15A of the first module plate 4A, and the upper installation hole 11B is When the second module plate 4B is attached to the dash panel body 3 as shown by the arrow in FIG. 4 and covered with the substrate 12 of the first module plate 4A, the upper installation hole 11B and the second module plate 4B are installed. The hole 15B is communicated with the lower installation hole 11A of the second module plate 4B. Since it is configured to be covered by the plate 12, the master back and the accelerator cable can be installed at appropriate positions corresponding to the mounting positions A and B of the pedal member 2 with a simple configuration, and an unnecessary opening in the dash panel body 3 is provided. There is an advantage that the sealing property can be secured by preventing the formation of.

  Further, as shown in the above embodiment, when the module plate 4 for attaching the pedal member 2 to the dash panel member 1 is configured to be attached to the dash panel body 3 via a strength member made of the dash cross member 8. In addition, the mounting rigidity of the pedal member 2 can be sufficiently secured with a simple configuration, and the sealing performance of the dash panel main body 3 in which the installation holes 11A and 11B for the master back and the accelerator cable are formed is effectively secured. There is an advantage that you can.

  6 and 7, a pair of dash cross members 23 and 24 are installed on the rear surface of the dash panel main body 3 with a predetermined distance apart in the vertical direction, and both the dash cross members are In the dash panel structure in which the pedal mounting portion 9 is provided between 23 and 24, one of the first and second module plates 4A and 4B is selected and mounted between the dash cross members 23 and 24. May be.

  Further, as described above, the two types of module plates 4A and 4B set so that the mounting positions A and B of the pedal member 2 are different from each other are selectively attached to the dash panel member 1. Instead of the configuration, three or more types of module plates set so that the mounting positions of the pedal member 2 are different from each other are selectively mounted to the dash panel member 1, or the mounting positions of the pedal member 2 are left and right. A plurality of types of module plates set at different positions in the direction may be selectively attached to the dash panel member 1.
