Description

本発明は、車両ボディに取り付けたリヤバンパカバーの内側に、泥、石、雪、葉等の不要物が入ることを防止するよう構成した構造に関する。   The present invention relates to a structure configured to prevent unnecessary objects such as mud, stones, snow, and leaves from entering inside a rear bumper cover attached to a vehicle body.

車両の後方に設けるリヤバンパカバーは、車両の後方側の左右方向に配置するバンパ後方部と、このバンパ後方部の左右の端部から前方側に向けて屈曲するバンパ側方部とを有している。また、バンパ後方部及びバンパ側方部は、車両の意匠表面を形成する意匠部と、この意匠部の下端から車両内方に折り返した折返部とを有している。この折返部は、車両の走行時に生ずる空気抵抗等を低減するために、比較的長く形成することが多い。   The rear bumper cover provided at the rear of the vehicle has a bumper rear portion disposed in the left-right direction on the rear side of the vehicle, and a bumper side portion bent toward the front side from the left and right ends of the bumper rear portion. Yes. Moreover, the bumper rear part and the bumper side part have a design part that forms the design surface of the vehicle, and a folded part that is folded back inward from the lower end of the design part. The folded portion is often formed relatively long in order to reduce air resistance or the like generated when the vehicle travels.

そして、車両ボディと折返部との間には、特にバンパ後方部の左右部分において、大きな隙間が形成されており、車両の後輪から飛び跳ねてくる泥、雪、葉等の不要物が上記隙間から入り、バンパ後方部の左右部分の内側に蓄積してしまうおそれがある。また、バンパ後方部の左右部分の内側に石等の不要物が入った場合に、この不要物がバンパ後方部の中央側へ跳ねて、バンパ後方部の中央部分に蓄積してしまうおそれもある。
この不要物の蓄積を防止するために、例えば、上記隙間をほぼ完全に閉じてしまうことも考えられる。しかしながら、車両ボディの構造上、上記隙間を完全に閉じようとすると、隙間を閉じるブラケット等の別の部品が必要になってしまう。 A large gap is formed between the vehicle body and the folded portion, particularly in the left and right portions of the rear part of the bumper, and unwanted matter such as mud, snow, leaves, etc. jumping from the rear wheel of the vehicle is formed in the gap. And may accumulate inside the left and right portions of the rear part of the bumper. In addition, when an unnecessary object such as a stone enters inside the left and right parts of the bumper rear part, the unnecessary object may jump to the center side of the bumper rear part and accumulate in the central part of the bumper rear part. .
In order to prevent the accumulation of unnecessary materials, for example, it is conceivable to close the gap almost completely. However, due to the structure of the vehicle body, if the gap is to be completely closed, another component such as a bracket for closing the gap is required.

なお、例えば、特許文献１においては、リヤバンパーフェイシャーの下縁部と車両後部との間に形成された開口を、リヤパネルの下縁部とリヤバンパーフェイシャーの下縁部との間に介装したプロテクターによって閉塞した車両後部構造が開示されている。この特許文献１においては、上記開口を閉塞するためにプロテクターを用いる必要が生じてしまう。   For example, in Patent Document 1, an opening formed between the lower edge of the rear bumper fascia and the rear part of the vehicle is interposed between the lower edge of the rear panel and the lower edge of the rear bumper fascia. A vehicle rear structure closed by a mounted protector is disclosed. In Patent Document 1, it is necessary to use a protector to close the opening.

具体的には、本例のリヤバンパカバー１においては、車両ボディ５とリヤバンパカバー１の折返部２２との間の隙間Ｘは、バンパ後方部１１の中央部分２０２に比べてバンパ後方部１１の左右部分２０１が大きくなっている。そして、バンパ後方部１１の左右部分２０１の内側１０１には、泥、石、雪、葉等の不要物が入ることを防止するための遮蔽部材３が設けてあり、この遮蔽部材３の前方側の面３０１によって、バンパ後方部１１の左右部分２０１における前方側開口部１０５が閉じられている。 The structure of the rear bumper cover 1 of the present example is such that when a predetermined gap (opening) X is formed between the vehicle body 5 and the folded portion 22 of the rear bumper cover 1, left and right portions in the bumper rear portion 11 of the rear bumper cover 1 In order to prevent unnecessary objects such as mud, stones, snow, and leaves from entering the inner side 101 of the left and right parts 201 in the bumper rear part 11 from the front side opening 105 of 201.
Specifically, in the rear bumper cover 1 of this example, the gap X between the vehicle body 5 and the folded-back portion 22 of the rear bumper cover 1 is greater than that of the central portion 202 of the bumper rear portion 11. The portion 201 is enlarged. The inner side 101 of the left and right portions 201 of the bumper rear part 11 is provided with a shielding member 3 for preventing unwanted materials such as mud, stones, snow and leaves from entering, and the front side of the shielding member 3. The front opening 105 in the left and right portions 201 of the bumper rear portion 11 is closed by the surface 301.

これにより、車両の走行時等において、その後輪６からリヤバンパカバー１の折返部２２に向けて泥、石、雪、葉等の不要物が飛び跳ねてくるときでも（図１において、不要物が飛び跳ねる状態を矢印Ｇによって示す。）、この不要物が、遮蔽部材３の前方側の面３０１によって、リヤバンパカバー１のバンパ後方部１１の左右部分２０１における車両ボディ５と折返部２２との間の隙間Ｘへ侵入することを防止することができる。
そのため、バンパ後方部１１の左右部分２０１の内側１０１に泥、雪、葉等の不要物が蓄積されることを防止することができ、また、石等の不要物が、バンパ後方部１１の左右部分２０１の内側１０１からバンパ後方部１１の中央部分２０２の内側１０１へ侵入して蓄積されることを防止することができる。 Thereby, when the vehicle travels, even when unnecessary objects such as mud, stones, snow, and leaves jump from the rear wheel 6 toward the folded portion 22 of the rear bumper cover 1 (in FIG. 1, the unnecessary objects jump). The state is indicated by an arrow G.) This unnecessary object is caused by a gap 301 between the vehicle body 5 and the folded portion 22 in the left and right portions 201 of the bumper rear portion 11 of the rear bumper cover 1 by the front surface 301 of the shielding member 3. Intrusion into X can be prevented.
Therefore, it is possible to prevent accumulation of unnecessary materials such as mud, snow, and leaves on the inner side 101 of the left and right portions 201 of the bumper rear portion 11, and unnecessary materials such as stones are left and right of the bumper rear portion 11. Intrusion from the inner side 101 of the portion 201 into the inner side 101 of the central portion 202 of the bumper rear portion 11 can be prevented.

また、本例においては、リヤバンパカバー１に遮蔽部材３を設けており、車両ボディ５とリヤバンパカバー１の折返部２２との間の隙間Ｘを閉塞するためのブラケット等は用いていない。
それ故、本例のリヤバンパカバー１の構造によれば、車両ボディ５とリヤバンパカバー１の折返部２２との間に所定の隙間Ｘが形成される場合において、リヤバンパカバー１に設ける遮蔽部材３によって、リヤバンパカバー１の内側１０１に泥、石、雪、葉等の不要物が蓄積することを防止することができる。 Further, in this example, the shielding member 3 is provided on the rear bumper cover 1, and a bracket or the like for closing the gap X between the vehicle body 5 and the folded portion 22 of the rear bumper cover 1 is not used.
Therefore, according to the structure of the rear bumper cover 1 of this example, when the predetermined gap X is formed between the vehicle body 5 and the folded portion 22 of the rear bumper cover 1, the shielding member 3 provided on the rear bumper cover 1 It is possible to prevent accumulation of unnecessary materials such as mud, stones, snow and leaves on the inner side 101 of the rear bumper cover 1.

また、本例においては、遮蔽部材３によって車両ボディ５とリヤバンパカバー１の折返部２２との間に形成される隙間Ｘを埋めることにより、車両に作用する空力を低減させることができ、操安性、燃費等を向上させることもできる。
なお、遮蔽部材３は、樹脂充填物から構成する以外にも、例えば、図７に示すごとく、ポリプロピレン等の樹脂からなる樹脂遮蔽板とすることもできる。そして、この樹脂遮蔽板は、両面テープ３５等によってリヤバンパカバー１の内側に貼着して、バンパ後方部１１の左右部分２０１の前方側開口部１０５に設けることができる。 Further, in this example, by filling the gap X formed between the vehicle body 5 and the folded-back portion 22 of the rear bumper cover 1 by the shielding member 3, it is possible to reduce the aerodynamic force acting on the vehicle. It is also possible to improve the performance and fuel consumption.
The shielding member 3 may be a resin shielding plate made of a resin such as polypropylene as shown in FIG. 7 in addition to the resin filling. And this resin shielding board can be affixed inside the rear bumper cover 1 with the double-sided tape 35 etc., and can be provided in the front side opening part 105 of the left-right part 201 of the bumper rear part 11.
