Description

本発明は、車体前部部材と、その後方に配設するラジエータパネルとの間の上面をカバーで覆う車体の前部構造に関する。   The present invention relates to a front structure of a vehicle body in which an upper surface between a vehicle body front member and a radiator panel disposed behind the vehicle body member is covered with a cover.

一般に、エンジン冷却用のラジエータは、その前部の上下をラジエータパネルに固設した状態で車体に保持されている。しかし、車両が歩行者と衝突した際の歩行者の頭部を保護する歩行者保護の観点から、フロントフードの変形によって歩行者頭部の衝撃吸収空間を確保する目的により、ラジエータが固定されたラジエータパネルが、自動車のバンパ等が固定された前部部材より、規定の間隔後方に離間した位置に配置される場合がある。   In general, a radiator for cooling an engine is held by a vehicle body in a state in which the upper and lower portions of a front portion thereof are fixed to a radiator panel. However, from the viewpoint of pedestrian protection that protects the pedestrian's head when the vehicle collides with the pedestrian, the radiator was fixed for the purpose of securing a shock absorbing space for the pedestrian's head by deformation of the front hood. The radiator panel may be arranged at a position separated from the front member to which the automobile bumper or the like is fixed by a predetermined distance.

この場合、前部部材とラジエータとの間に大きな間隙が形成され、エンジンルーム内の見栄えが悪くなってしまうばかりか、前部部材に形成された吸気口から取り入れた外気が間隙から漏れてしまい、外気がラジエータに当たり難くなるため、ラジエータを流れる冷却水の冷却効率が低下してしまう場合があった。   In this case, a large gap is formed between the front member and the radiator, so that the appearance in the engine room is deteriorated, and outside air taken in from the intake port formed in the front member leaks from the gap. Since the outside air hardly hits the radiator, the cooling efficiency of the cooling water flowing through the radiator may be reduced.

このことを防止するため、前部部材の上面とラジエータパネルの上面との間を、カバーで覆うことにより、エンジンルーム内の美観を向上するとともに、外気をラジエータ方向に導き易くして、ラジエータを流れる冷却水の冷却効率を高める技術が知られており、例えば特許文献１に開示されている。
特開２００３−７２３９６号公報 In order to prevent this, the cover between the upper surface of the front member and the upper surface of the radiator panel is covered with a cover to improve the aesthetics in the engine room and to easily guide the outside air in the direction of the radiator. A technique for increasing the cooling efficiency of the flowing cooling water is known, and is disclosed in Patent Document 1, for example.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-72396

ところで、前部部材の後方には、冷えた外気をエンジンに取り入れるために、外気取り入れ口（以下、吸気口と称す）が配設されている。例えば、上述した特許文献１では、吸気口から、外気に混入した水や塵埃等の異物が侵入するのを防止するために、吸気口を、カバーにより覆われた間隙に配設するようにしている。   By the way, an outside air intake (hereinafter referred to as an intake port) is provided behind the front member in order to take in cold outside air into the engine. For example, in Patent Document 1 described above, in order to prevent foreign matter such as water and dust mixed in outside air from entering from the air intake port, the air intake port is disposed in a gap covered by the cover. Yes.

しかしながら、吸気口は、車体の前部の形状によっては、前部部材とラジエータと間の間隙を覆うカバーの上面に配設される場合があり、上述した特許文献１に開示された技術においては、吸気口が、カバーの上面に配設される場合については適用することができない。   However, depending on the shape of the front part of the vehicle body, the intake port may be disposed on the upper surface of the cover that covers the gap between the front member and the radiator. In the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1 described above, This is not applicable to the case where the air inlet is disposed on the upper surface of the cover.

本発明の目的は、上記事情に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的は、エンジンに外気を取り入れる吸気口が、前部部材とラジエータと間の間隙を覆うカバーの上面に配設されたとしても、吸気口から、外気に混入した異物が侵入するのを防止することができ、また、吸気口に効率良く外気を取り入れることができる車体の前部構造を提供するにある。   The object of the present invention is made in view of the above circumstances, and the object is that the intake port for taking outside air into the engine is disposed on the upper surface of the cover that covers the gap between the front member and the radiator. In addition, the present invention provides a front structure of a vehicle body that can prevent foreign matters mixed in outside air from entering through the intake port and that can efficiently take outside air into the intake port.

上記目的を達成するために本発明による車体の前部構造は、車体前部部材の上面と、該車体前部部材の後方に配設された、ラジエータの上部を保持するラジエータパネルの上面との間を覆うカバーを有し、上記カバーの車幅方向の一側の上方に、エンジンに外気を取り入れる外気取り入れ口を配設し、上記カバーの上記車幅方向の他側に、該カバーを貫通する開口部を形成したことを特徴とする。   In order to achieve the above object, the front structure of a vehicle body according to the present invention includes an upper surface of a vehicle body front member and an upper surface of a radiator panel that is disposed behind the vehicle body front member and holds the upper portion of the radiator. A cover for covering the space, and an outside air intake port for taking outside air into the engine is disposed above one side of the cover in the vehicle width direction, and the cover penetrates the other side of the cover in the vehicle width direction. An opening is formed.

本発明の車体の前部構造によれば、エンジンに外気を取り入れる吸気口が、前部部材とラジエータと間の間隙を覆うカバーの上面に配設されたとしても、吸気口から、外気に混入した異物が侵入するのを防止することができ、また、吸気口に効率良く外気を取り入れることができる。   According to the front structure of the vehicle body of the present invention, even if the intake port for taking outside air into the engine is arranged on the upper surface of the cover that covers the gap between the front member and the radiator, it is mixed into the outside air from the intake port. It is possible to prevent the foreign matter from entering, and it is possible to efficiently take outside air into the intake port.

以下、図面を参照して本発明の実施の形態を説明する。
図１は、本発明の一実施の形態を示す車体の前部構造を示す斜視図、図２は、図１中のＩＩ−ＩＩ線に沿う断面図、図３は、図１中のＩＩＩ−ＩＩＩ線に沿う断面図である。 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a front structure of a vehicle body showing an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line II-II in FIG. 1, and FIG. It is sectional drawing which follows an III line.

エンジンルームの下部には、車体前後方向に延出する既知の２本のサイドフレームが配設されており、該両サイドフレームの前部にラジエータパネルが配設されている。ラジエータパネルは、車幅方向に延在するラジエータパネルロア（図示せず）と、該ラジエータパネルロアの上方に離間して平行配置されるラジエータパネルアッパ２０とを具備しており、上記ラジエータパネルロアの両端に、上記２本のサイドフレームがそれぞれ固設されている。尚、ラジエータパネルアッパ２０は、上記ラジエータパネルロアと図示しないフレームを介して連結されている。   Two known side frames extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body are disposed at the lower part of the engine room, and a radiator panel is disposed at the front of the side frames. The radiator panel includes a radiator panel lower (not shown) extending in the vehicle width direction, and a radiator panel upper 20 disposed in parallel and spaced above the radiator panel lower. The two side frames are fixed to both ends of the frame. The radiator panel upper 20 is connected to the radiator panel lower via a frame (not shown).

また、図２に示すように、ラジエータパネルアッパ２０の前部に、エンジン冷却用のラジエータ２１ａ、及び空調装置用のコンデンサ２１ｂの上部がフック等の既知の固定手段により固定されている。尚、上記ラジエータパネルロアの前部にも、ラジエータ２１ａ、及びコンデンサ２１ｂの下部がフック等により固定されている。   Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the upper portion of the radiator 21a for cooling the engine and the condenser 21b for the air conditioner are fixed to the front portion of the radiator panel upper 20 by a known fixing means such as a hook. Note that the lower portions of the radiator 21a and the capacitor 21b are also fixed to the front portion of the radiator panel lower by hooks or the like.

さらに、上記２本のサイドフレームの先端に、バンパビームが固設されている。このバンパビームは、車幅方向に延在するロアビーム（図示せず）と、該ロアビームの上方に離間して平行配置される車体前部部材であるアッパビーム１５とを具備しており、上記ロアビームの両端に、上記２本のサイドフレームの先端がそれぞれ固設されている。尚、アッパビーム１５は、上記ロアビームと図示しないフレームを介して連結されている。   Further, a bumper beam is fixed to the tip of the two side frames. The bumper beam includes a lower beam (not shown) extending in the vehicle width direction, and an upper beam 15 that is a vehicle body front member disposed in parallel and spaced apart above the lower beam. Further, the ends of the two side frames are fixed. The upper beam 15 is connected to the lower beam via a frame (not shown).

また、図２に示すように、アッパビーム１５に、車幅方向に延在し所定の高さを有するバンパ１０の上部が、例えばクリップ等の固定部材１６により固定されている。尚、上記ロアビームにも、バンパ１０の下部がクリップ等の固定部材により固定されている。   As shown in FIG. 2, the upper portion of the bumper 10 that extends in the vehicle width direction and has a predetermined height is fixed to the upper beam 15 by a fixing member 16 such as a clip. The lower part of the bumper 10 is also fixed to the lower beam by a fixing member such as a clip.

さらに、図２に示すように、バンパ１０が固定されたバンパビームは、ラジエータ２１ａ及びコンデンサ２１ｂが固定されたラジエータパネルよりも、規定の間隔前方に配置される。逆にいえば、ラジエータ２１ａ及びコンデンサ２１ｂが固定されたラジエータパネルが、バンパ１０が固定されたバンパビームより、規定の間隔後方に離間した位置に配置される。   Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the bumper beam to which the bumper 10 is fixed is disposed in front of the radiator panel to which the radiator 21 a and the capacitor 21 b are fixed. In other words, the radiator panel to which the radiator 21a and the capacitor 21b are fixed is arranged at a position separated from the bumper beam to which the bumper 10 is fixed by a predetermined distance.

即ち、バンパビームとラジエータパネルとは、バンパ１０と、ラジエータ２１ａ及びコンデンサ２１ｂとの間に、ある規定の長さを有する間隙３０が発生する配置関係となっている。   In other words, the bumper beam and the radiator panel are arranged so that a gap 30 having a predetermined length is generated between the bumper 10, the radiator 21a, and the capacitor 21b.

また、バンパ１０の高さ方向の面（グリル面）の一部に、ラジエータ２１ａを流れる冷却水、及びコンデンサ２１ｂを冷却する外気Ａをエンジンルーム内に取り入れる吸気口１０ｋが、車幅方向に沿ってバンパ１０を貫通するよう、例えばメッシュ状に開口されている。   In addition, an intake port 10k for taking cooling water flowing through the radiator 21a and outside air A that cools the condenser 21b into the engine room is formed in a part of the height direction surface (grill surface) of the bumper 10 along the vehicle width direction. For example, it is opened in a mesh shape so as to penetrate the bumper 10.

さらに、アッパビーム１５の上面とラジエータパネルアッパ２０の上面との間に、例えば軟性の樹脂により構成された略板状のカバー１がフロントカバー５０に対向するよう接続されている。尚、カバー１が軟性の部材から構成されているのは、歩行者保護の目的である。   Further, a substantially plate-like cover 1 made of, for example, a soft resin is connected between the upper surface of the upper beam 15 and the upper surface of the radiator panel upper 20 so as to face the front cover 50. In addition, it is the objective of pedestrian protection that the cover 1 is comprised from the soft member.

カバー１は、図２、図３に示すように、ラジエータ２１ａの方向に向かって階段状を有している。カバー１の先端は、アッパビーム１５の上面に、バンパ１０の上部とともにクリップ１６により固定されており、カバー１の後端は、ラジエータパネルアッパ２０の上面に、例えばクリップ等の固定部材２２により固定されている。   As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the cover 1 has a stepped shape toward the radiator 21 a. The front end of the cover 1 is fixed to the upper surface of the upper beam 15 by the clip 16 together with the upper portion of the bumper 10, and the rear end of the cover 1 is fixed to the upper surface of the radiator panel upper 20 by a fixing member 22 such as a clip. ing.

その結果、カバー１は、図１に示すように、自動車車体の前部の両端にそれぞれ配設された各ヘッドライト７０間において車幅方向に延在するようアッパビーム１５の上面とラジエータパネルアッパ２０の上面との間に配置され、バンパ１０と、ラジエータ２１ａとの間の間隙３０を覆う。   As a result, as shown in FIG. 1, the cover 1 has an upper surface of the upper beam 15 and a radiator panel upper 20 so as to extend in the vehicle width direction between the headlights 70 respectively disposed at both ends of the front portion of the vehicle body. And the gap 30 between the bumper 10 and the radiator 21a is covered.

カバー１は、間隙３０により、エンジンルーム内の美観を損ねてしまうのを防止する、及び吸気口１０ｋから取り入れた外気Ａのラジエータ２１ａ及びコンデンサ２１ｂへの当たり漏れを防止してラジエータ２１ａを流れる冷却水、及びコンデンサ２１ｂの冷却効率を高めるためのものである。   Cooling that flows through the radiator 21a prevents the cover 1 from impairing the aesthetic appearance in the engine room by the gap 30 and prevents the outside air A taken in from the intake port 10k from hitting the radiator 21a and the condenser 21b. This is for increasing the cooling efficiency of water and the condenser 21b.

また、図２、図３に示すように、ラジエータ２１ａの上面と、カバー１の下面との間に、軟性部材、例えばスポンジにより構成された閉塞部材４０が配設されている。尚、閉塞部材４０が軟性部材から構成されているのは、歩行者保護の目的である。   As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a closing member 40 made of a soft member, such as sponge, is disposed between the upper surface of the radiator 21 a and the lower surface of the cover 1. In addition, it is the objective of pedestrian protection that the closure member 40 is comprised from the soft member.

閉塞部材４０は、外気Ａが、ラジエータ２１ａの上面と、カバー１の下面との間からラジエータ２１ａの後方に侵入するのを防ぎ、ラジエータ２１ａ及びコンデンサ２１ｂへの外気Ａが当たる効率を高めることで、ラジエータ２１ａを流れる冷却水、及びコンデンサ２１ｂの冷却効率を高める。   The blocking member 40 prevents the outside air A from entering the rear of the radiator 21a from between the upper surface of the radiator 21a and the lower surface of the cover 1, and increases the efficiency with which the outside air A hits the radiator 21a and the condenser 21b. The cooling efficiency of the cooling water flowing through the radiator 21a and the condenser 21b is increased.

さらに、図１及び図３に示すように、カバー１の車幅方向の一側の上部であって、フロントフード５０との間の閉塞された空間に、エンジン（図示されず）に外気Ａを取り入れる外気取り入れ口である吸気口１００ｋがラジエータ２１ａよりも図中車体前方に開口された吸気ダクト１００が配設されている。   Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, outside air A is supplied to the engine (not shown) in an upper space on one side of the cover 1 in the vehicle width direction and closed with the front hood 50. An intake duct 100 is provided in which an intake port 100k, which is an intake port for intake air, is opened in front of the vehicle body in the drawing relative to the radiator 21a.

また、図１及び図２に示すように、カバー１の車幅方向の他側、具体的には、吸気ダクト１００の吸気口１００ｋと大きくオフセットした位置であって、吸気ダクト１００の吸気口１００ｋよりも前方に、カバー１を貫通する開口部１ｋが開口されている。   As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the other side of the cover 1 in the vehicle width direction, specifically, a position that is largely offset from the intake port 100 k of the intake duct 100, and the intake port 100 k of the intake duct 100. Further, an opening 1k penetrating the cover 1 is opened further forward.

開口部１ｋは、車幅方向に長い略長孔形状を有しており、図１に示すように、複数のスリット１ｓが形成されたスリット状を有し、開口部１ｋから間隙３０に、枯葉等の大きな異物が侵入するのを防止する。尚、開口部１ｋは、メッシュ状を有していても良い。   The opening 1k has a substantially long hole shape that is long in the vehicle width direction. As shown in FIG. 1, the opening 1k has a slit shape in which a plurality of slits 1s are formed. Prevent the entry of large foreign objects such as. The opening 1k may have a mesh shape.

開口部１ｋは、吸気口１０ｋからエンジンルーム内に取り入れた、ラジエータ２１ａを流れる冷却水、及びコンデンサ２１ｂを冷却する外気Ａを、ラジエータ２１ａ及びコンデンサ２１ｂのみならず、開口部１ｋを通過させて吸気ダクト１００の吸気口１００ｋに取り入れるために、カバー１に形成された開口である。   The opening 1k allows the cooling water flowing through the radiator 21a and the outside air A, which cools the condenser 21b, taken into the engine room from the intake port 10k to pass through the opening 1k as well as the radiator 21a and the condenser 21b. It is an opening formed in the cover 1 to be taken into the air inlet 100k of the duct 100.

次に、このように構成された車体の前部構造の作用について説明する。   Next, the operation of the front structure of the vehicle body configured as described above will be described.

先ず、上記エンジン駆動時、ラジエータ２１ａを流れる冷却水、及びコンデンサ２１ｂを冷却する外気Ａが、バンパ１０に開口された吸気口１０ｋからエンジンルーム内に取り入れられる。その後取り入れられた外気Ａは、間隙３０を通過してラジエータ２１ａ及びコンデンサ２１ｂに吹きつけられる。このことにより、ラジエータ２１ａを流れる冷却水、及びコンデンサ２１ｂは冷却される。   First, when the engine is driven, the cooling water flowing through the radiator 21 a and the outside air A that cools the condenser 21 b are taken into the engine room from the intake port 10 k opened in the bumper 10. The outside air A taken in after that passes through the gap 30 and is blown to the radiator 21a and the condenser 21b. Thereby, the cooling water flowing through the radiator 21a and the condenser 21b are cooled.

尚、この際、アッパビーム１５の上面とラジエータパネルアッパ２０の上面との間に、間隙３０を覆うカバー１が配置されているため、カバー１が外気Ａをラジエータ２１ａ及びコンデンサ２１ｂ側に導くガイドとなり、ラジエータ２１ａ及びコンデンサ２１ｂへ外気を効率良く導くことができる。   At this time, since the cover 1 covering the gap 30 is disposed between the upper surface of the upper beam 15 and the upper surface of the radiator panel upper 20, the cover 1 serves as a guide for guiding the outside air A to the radiator 21a and the condenser 21b side. The outside air can be efficiently guided to the radiator 21a and the condenser 21b.

また、ラジエータ２１ａの上面とカバー１の下面との間に閉塞部材４０が配設されているため、外気Ａが、ラジエータ２１ａの上面と、カバー１の下面との間からラジエータ２１ａの後方に侵入する可能性が低いため、ラジエータ２１ａを流れる冷却水、及びコンデンサ２１ｂは、外気Ａの吹きつけにより効率良く冷却される。   Further, since the closing member 40 is disposed between the upper surface of the radiator 21 a and the lower surface of the cover 1, the outside air A enters the rear of the radiator 21 a from between the upper surface of the radiator 21 a and the lower surface of the cover 1. Therefore, the cooling water flowing through the radiator 21a and the condenser 21b are efficiently cooled by blowing the outside air A.

吸気口１０ｋからエンジンルーム内に取り入れられた外気Ａは、ラジエータ２１ａ及びコンデンサ２１ｂに吹きつけられる一方、他方では、カバー１に開口された開口部１ｋを通過して、図１に示すように、カバー１の表面１ｆを車幅方向に移動した後、フロントフード５０とカバー１との閉塞された空間に臨まれた吸気ダクト１００の吸気口１００ｋに取り入れられる。   While the outside air A taken into the engine room from the intake port 10k is blown to the radiator 21a and the condenser 21b, on the other hand, it passes through the opening 1k opened in the cover 1, and as shown in FIG. After moving the front surface 1 f of the cover 1 in the vehicle width direction, the air is taken into the intake port 100 k of the intake duct 100 facing the closed space between the front hood 50 and the cover 1.

この際、開口部１ｋがラジエータ２１ａよりも図中車体前方に開口されているため、ラジエータ２１ａを冷却する前の外気が取り入れられる。このことにより、ラジエータ２１ａを冷却した後の熱された外気が取り入れられることが少ないため、エンジンには、冷えた外気を供給することができる。   At this time, since the opening 1k is opened in front of the vehicle body in the drawing relative to the radiator 21a, the outside air before cooling the radiator 21a is taken in. Thus, since the heated outside air after cooling the radiator 21a is rarely taken in, it is possible to supply cold outside air to the engine.

このように、本発明の一実施の形態を示す車体の前部構造においては、アッパビーム１５の上面とラジエータパネルアッパ２０の上面との間に、カバー１を接続した。   Thus, in the front structure of the vehicle body showing an embodiment of the present invention, the cover 1 is connected between the upper surface of the upper beam 15 and the upper surface of the radiator panel upper 20.

このことにより、バンパ１０と、ラジエータ２１ａとの間に発生した規定の長さを有する間隙３０は、カバー１により上方から覆われるため、エンジンルーム内の美観を向上することができるとともに、外気Ａを、ラジエータ２１ａ及びコンデンサ２１ｂに効率良く導くことができるため、ラジエータ２１ａを流れる冷却水、及びコンデンサ２１ｂの冷却効率を高めることができる。   As a result, the gap 30 having a specified length generated between the bumper 10 and the radiator 21a is covered with the cover 1 from above, so that the aesthetics in the engine room can be improved and the outside air A Can be efficiently guided to the radiator 21a and the condenser 21b, so that the cooling efficiency of the cooling water flowing through the radiator 21a and the condenser 21b can be increased.

また、間隙３０を覆うカバー１の吸気ダクト１００の吸気口１００ｋから大きくオフセットした位置に、スリット状の開口部１ｋを開口した。   In addition, a slit-like opening 1k was opened at a position largely offset from the intake port 100k of the intake duct 100 of the cover 1 covering the gap 30.

このことにより、吸気口１０ｋから取り入れられた外気Ａは、カバー１の開口部１ｋを通過した後、吸気ダクト１００の吸気口１００ｋに取り入れられる前に、カバー１の表面１ｆを車幅方向に移動するため、外気Ａに混入した水や塵埃等の異物、または雪等が吸気ダクト１００の吸気口１００ｋに侵入することを防ぐことができる。   As a result, after the outside air A taken in from the intake port 10k passes through the opening 1k of the cover 1, it moves on the surface 1f of the cover 1 in the vehicle width direction before being taken into the intake port 100k of the intake duct 100. Therefore, foreign matter such as water and dust mixed in the outside air A, snow, or the like can be prevented from entering the intake port 100k of the intake duct 100.

さらに、開口部１ｋは、吸気ダクト１００の吸気口１００ｋよりも前方に形成されていることにより、車体の前部構造における限られたレイアウトの中で、開口部１ｋ及び吸気口１００ｋを配置することができるため、吸気口１００ｋに効率良く外気Ａを取り入れることができる。   Furthermore, the opening 1k is formed in front of the intake port 100k of the intake duct 100, so that the opening 1k and the intake port 100k are arranged in a limited layout in the front structure of the vehicle body. Therefore, the outside air A can be efficiently taken into the intake port 100k.

よって、このような車体の前部構造によれば、エンジンに外気Ａを取り入れる吸気口１００ｋが、バンパ１０とラジエータ２１ａと間の間隙３０を覆うカバー１の上方に配設されたとしても、吸気口１００ｋから、外気Ａに混入した異物が侵入するのを防止することができ、また、吸気口１００ｋに効率良く外気を取り入れることができる。   Therefore, according to such a front structure of the vehicle body, even if the intake port 100k for taking the outside air A into the engine is disposed above the cover 1 that covers the gap 30 between the bumper 10 and the radiator 21a, It is possible to prevent foreign matters mixed in the outside air A from entering from the mouth 100k, and it is possible to efficiently take in the outside air to the air inlet 100k.

以下、変形例を示す。本実施の形態においては、カバー１は、柔らかい樹脂により構成されていると示したが、これに限らず、柔らかい部材で構成されていて、上述した機能を有することの適しておれば、どのようなもので構成しても良いということは勿論である。   Hereinafter, a modification is shown. In the present embodiment, the cover 1 is shown to be made of a soft resin. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the cover 1 is made of a soft member. Of course, it may be composed of anything.

また、閉塞部材４０は、スポンジにより構成されていると示したが、これに限らず、外気Ａが、ラジエータ２１ａの上面と、カバー１の下面との間からラジエータ２１ａの後方に侵入するのを防げるものであって柔らかい部材であれば、閉塞部材４０をどのような部材で構成してもよいということは云うまでもない。   Moreover, although the closing member 40 was shown to be composed of a sponge, the present invention is not limited to this, and the outside air A enters the rear of the radiator 21a from between the upper surface of the radiator 21a and the lower surface of the cover 1. Needless to say, the closing member 40 may be formed of any member that can be prevented and is a soft member.
