Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 5-13853

  By the way, in the upper structure of an automobile disclosed in Patent Document 1, the sunshade provided for shading is generally made of a relatively light material such as resin or cloth, and therefore supports the light sunshade. The guide rail and its connecting member are not originally required to have such a great rigidity. Therefore, in the configuration of Patent Document 1 in which an electrical component such as a television having a certain weight is attached to such a connecting member, the support state of the electrical component may be unstable.

  Of course, if the rigidity of the connecting member is increased and the rigidity of the guide rail to which both end portions thereof are fixed is increased, the electrical component can be supported with high rigidity. If the rigidity of these members, which were not required, is increased to such an extent that the support strength of the electrical component can be sufficiently secured, it is inevitable that the weight of the roof portion will increase significantly.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide an automobile upper structure capable of attaching electrical components with high rigidity without significantly increasing the weight of the roof portion. And

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a pair of roof side rails extending in the front-rear direction of the vehicle body along the left and right side portions of the roof portion, and a vehicle installed between the pair of roof side rails. An upper structure of an automobile comprising a transparent roof panel covering a front upper surface of a room, and a shade device for shading installed slidably below the transparent roof panel, wherein the shade device is the transparent roof panel A pair of left and right guide rails extending in the front-rear direction along the lower surface of the side portion, a shade body supported slidably along the guide rail, and the pair of guide rails extending in the vehicle width direction are coupled to each other. A rail connecting member extending under the rail connecting member in the vehicle width direction and fixed to the inner wall surface of the pair of roof side rails. The cross-member disposed to be, and is characterized in that the electrical component is attached to the cross member (claim 1).

  According to the present invention, a cross member having both ends fixed to a pair of roof side rails as a vehicle body constituting member is provided separately from a rail connecting member for connecting a pair of guide rails for a shade body. In contrast to the case where the electrical component is attached to the rail connecting member as in the prior art, the guide rail and the rail connecting member, which do not originally require high rigidity, are maintained with relatively low rigidity. Electrical components can be attached with high rigidity. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to sufficiently secure the mounting rigidity of the electrical component without significantly increasing the weight of the roof portion.

  As the electrical component, for example, a display device for a rear seat occupant is suitable (Claim 2).

  According to this configuration, a display device having a relatively large weight can be attached with high rigidity.

  It is preferable that a harness routing path for routing a harness extending from the electrical component along the vehicle width direction is formed between the rail connecting member and the cross member.

  In this way, a predetermined gap is formed between the rail connecting member and the cross member to effectively prevent the two members from interfering with each other, and the harness extending from the electrical component using the gap can be used. There is an advantage of efficient routing.

  In the above configuration, it is preferable that a bent portion is formed on the rail connecting member and the cross member so as to form a peripheral wall of the harness wiring path in a cross-sectional view.

  In this way, there is an advantage that the harness routing path can be formed more easily while increasing the section modulus of the rail connecting member and the cross member to enhance the rigidity thereof.

  Furthermore, it is preferable that a covering material made of an elastic body is attached to the outer periphery of the harness, and the harness is sandwiched between the rail connecting member and each bent portion of the cross member via the covering material (claim). Item 5).

  If it does in this way, it can hold in the stable state, protecting the harness so that it may not be damaged inside the harness routing route, for example, abnormal noise caused by the harness fluttering during traveling of the vehicle, for example Generation | occurrence | production etc. can be prevented effectively.

  When the harness routing path is formed between the rail connecting member and the front and rear end edges of the cross member, the front and rear width of the cross member is set to be relatively small at the side end. Accordingly, it is preferable that an open portion that is opened downward is formed at a side end portion of the harness routing path.

  As described above, when the opening portion that opens downward is provided at the side end portion of the harness routing path by relatively reducing the front-rear width of the side end portion of the cross member, for example, the cross member There is an advantage that the harness can be efficiently routed from the inside of the harness routing path to the outside through the open portion without taking measures such as providing an insertion hole for passing the harness at the side end of the harness.

  On the other hand, when an insertion hole for routing the harness in the harness routing path to the outside is formed at the side end of the cross member, the width of the cross member is not changed (that is, the cross member is changed). The harness can be routed from the inside of the harness routing route to the outside through the insertion hole while keeping the cross-sectional shape of the vehicle constant in the vehicle width direction (Claim 7).

  As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide an upper structure of an automobile in which electrical components can be attached with high rigidity without significantly increasing the weight of the roof portion.

The harness 52 transmits and receives electrical signals and the like between the display device 45 and an AV device (not shown) such as a television receiver that exists in an instrument panel installed at the front end of the passenger compartment, for example. The wiring is provided so as to extend in the front-rear direction of the vehicle body, and the two are electrically connected. Specifically, the harness 52 is routed outward in the vehicle width direction from the display device 45 through the rail connecting member 29 and the cross member 30, and then the roof side rail 1 and the front It is routed along the vehicle inner wall surface of the pillar 6 on the front side of the vehicle body and is finally connected to the AV equipment in the instrument panel.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the cross member 30 is formed such that its cross-sectional shape (the cross-sectional shape along the front-rear direction of the vehicle body) is bent in a crank shape, thereby having a relatively high section modulus. It is configured. On the other hand, the rail connecting member 29 disposed on the upper side of the cross member 30 is also formed so that its cross-sectional shape is bent like a crank like the cross member 30.

  3 and 6, the cross member 30 is installed so as to extend in the vehicle width direction so as to overlap the rear end portion of the rail connecting member 29 in a bottom view. In other words, the cross member 30 and the rail connecting member 29 have a bent portion 30a formed at the front end portion of the cross member 30 and a bent portion 29a formed at the rear end portion of the rail connecting member 29 in the vertical direction. It is installed in a state of facing each other. A harness routing path 53 as a space for routing the harness 52 extending from the display device 45 is formed between the bent portions 29 a and 30 a, and the harness 52 is formed along the harness routing path 53. Are arranged in the vehicle width direction.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 8, the cross member 30 is formed such that the front and rear widths of the left and right end portions thereof are relatively narrow compared to the center portion. As a result, the overlapping range in the front-rear direction between the cross member 30 and the rail connecting member 29 is reduced at the outer end portion in the vehicle width direction, and an opening portion 54 that opens the harness routing path 53 downward is formed in that portion. Is done. The harness 52 is routed from the harness routing path 53 to the outside through the opening 54.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, in the harness 52, a cylindrical covering material made of an elastic body such as rubber or resin is provided at a plurality of portions in the longitudinal direction of the portion accommodated in the harness routing path 53. 55 is provided in close contact with the outer periphery of the harness 52. The harness 52 is stably held in the harness routing path 53 by being sandwiched between the rail connecting member 29 and the bent portions 29a and 30a of the cross member 30 via the covering material 55.

There is. In addition, for example, unlike the case where the harness 52 is routed on the lower surface side of the cross member 30, there is an advantage that the ceiling position of the passenger compartment (the lower surface of the roof trim 40) can be set higher.

  In particular, as in the above embodiment, the bent portions 29a, 30a are provided by bending the cross-sectional shapes of the rail connecting member 29 and the cross member 30 into a crank shape, and the bent portions 29a, 30a of these members provide the above In the case where the peripheral wall of the harness routing path 53 is formed, the harness routing path 53 is further increased while increasing the section modulus of the rail connecting member 29 and the cross member 30 to enhance the rigidity thereof. There is an advantage that it can be formed easily.

  Further, as in the embodiment described above, a covering material 55 made of an elastic body is attached to the outer periphery of the harness 52, and the covering material 55 is placed between the rail connecting member 29 and the bent portions 29a, 30a of the cross member 30. When the harness 52 is sandwiched via the harness 52, the harness 52 can be kept in a stable state while protecting the harness 52 from being damaged inside the harness routing path 53. Occurrence of abnormal noise caused by the harness 52 sometimes flapping can be effectively prevented.

  Further, as in the above embodiment, the harness routing path 53 is formed between the bent portions 29a, 30a formed at the rear end portion of the rail connecting member 29 and the front end portion of the cross member 30, and the above When the opening part 54 opened downward is provided at the side end of the routing path 53 by setting the front and rear widths of the left and right ends of the cross member 30 to be relatively small, for example, the cross member There is an advantage that the harness 52 can be efficiently routed from the inside of the harness routing path 53 to the outside through the open portion 54 without taking measures such as providing an insertion hole for allowing the harness 52 to pass through the side end portion of the harness 30. is there.

  In the above embodiment, the display device 45 for the rear seat occupant is attached to the cross member 30, but other types of electrical components can naturally be attached to the cross member 30. For example, an audio device such as a speaker or an air conditioner such as an air-conditioner outlet may be attached. In any case, when it is desired to attach an electrical component having a certain weight to the roof portion with high rigidity, the superstructure of the automobile of the present invention can be suitably applied.
