Description

  The present invention relates to a cowl grille structure for a vehicle, and more particularly to a cowl grille structure for a vehicle that prevents water leakage into an engine room.

  Conventionally, a cowl grille structure of a vehicle is installed so as to extend in the vehicle width direction at the lower end of the front windshield and cover the upper part of the cowl box between the hood and the hood. In the cowl grill, it is required to smoothly drain rainwater and the like flowing from the front windshield into the lower cowl box.

  Incidentally, in recent years, the lower end of the front windshield protrudes toward the front side of the vehicle, and the front windshield is arranged so as to be close to the engine room side. For this reason, there is a possibility that rainwater or the like flowing into the cowl grill from the front windshield flows into the engine room.

  Therefore, in Patent Document 1 below, a cowl grill structure is disclosed in which a flange member is provided in a portion where there is a risk of water leakage in the engine room to prevent water leakage into the engine room.

  On the other hand, the cowl grill is generally formed of a synthetic resin or the like. However, if the cowl grill is formed of a single member in the entire vehicle width direction, there is a problem that the mold becomes large and the cost increases. Moreover, when it molds with one member, when assembling | attaching to a vehicle, there exists a problem that an arc becomes large and an assembly | attachment operation | work becomes difficult.

  Thus, as disclosed in Patent Document 2 below, it is also known to configure a cowl grill by combining a plurality of grill members divided in the vehicle width direction.

JP 2006-62474 A JP 2006-224758 A

  By the way, in the case of a cowl grill configured by combining a plurality of grill members divided in the vehicle width direction, an “alignment portion” is inevitably generated between the grill members. When such a “matching portion” occurs, rainwater or the like leaks from this “matching portion”, and there is a problem that water leaks in the engine room at a portion where there is no cowl box below.

  In order to solve this problem, for example, it is conceivable to provide a eave member or the like below the “matching portion” to prevent water leakage into the engine room.

  However, even if such a dredging member is provided, if the amount of rainwater or the like increases, or if the flow rate changes due to vehicle turning or the like, the rainwater received by the dredging member becomes larger than the capacity of the dredging member, All the rainwater etc. could not be drained by the gutter member, and as a result, there was a risk of water leaking into the engine room.

  Therefore, in the present invention, in the cowl grille structure of a vehicle that forms a cowl grill by combining a plurality of members divided in the vehicle width direction, the flow rate is changed when the amount of rainwater or the like increases or the vehicle turns. Even in such a case, an object of the present invention is to provide a cowl grille structure for a vehicle that can prevent rainwater and the like from entering the “matching portion” and prevent water leakage into the engine room.

In addition, as a flow restricting means, as long as it dams the flow of water flowing in the vehicle width direction in a recess extending in the vehicle width direction, such as a “weir part”, “thick part”, “convex part”, “inclined part” Any shape may be used.
Further, as long as the cowl grill is divided in the vehicle width direction, the cowl grill may be divided into two grill members or may be divided into three grill members.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the flow restricting means is provided apart from the mating portion in the vehicle width direction.
According to the above configuration, even if the flow restricting means is provided away from the mating portion, the water flowing in the recess may exceed the flow restricting means due to surface tension and may be transferred to the mating portion side. Since there is a distance to the part, water leakage from the mating part can be reliably prevented.
Therefore, the water leakage preventing function of the flow regulating means can be improved more reliably.

In one embodiment of the present invention, a hook portion for guiding water leaking from the mating portion into the cowl box is provided below the mating portion.
According to the above configuration, by providing the hook part below the mating part, even if a small amount of water leaks from the mating part, water can be received by the hook part, and this water can be received in the cowl box. Can be drained.
Therefore, even when a small amount of water leaks from the mating portion, it is possible to suppress the water leak in the engine room and reliably prevent the water leak into the engine room.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the vehicle width direction dividing surface at the seal portion with the bonnet is formed to be offset in the vehicle width direction with respect to the mating portion.
According to the said structure, the vehicle width direction division | segmentation surface of a seal | sticker part was formed so that it might offset with respect to a mating part, and the water which flows along a mating part to the vehicle front side is made into the labyrinth effect by a crank shape , It can be prevented from flowing on the dividing surface in the vehicle width direction.
Therefore, it is possible to suppress water leakage from the dividing surface of the seal portion in the vehicle width direction, and it is possible to more reliably prevent water leakage into the engine room.

In one embodiment of the present invention, a receiving surface for receiving water is provided below the dividing surface in the vehicle width direction, and the water received on the receiving surface is guided into the recess on the counter mating portion side from the flow regulating means. A drainage guide is provided.
According to the above configuration, the receiving surface below the dividing surface in the vehicle width direction receives water leaking from the dividing surface in the vehicle width direction, and guides the received water to the recess on the counter mating portion side of the flow restricting means. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the received water from flowing into the buttocks.
Therefore, since an increase in the flow rate of the collar portion can be suppressed while preventing water leakage at the vehicle width direction dividing surface, water leakage into the engine room can be prevented more reliably.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the receiving surface is provided with an inclined surface that is inclined downward from the mating portion side toward the counter mating portion side.
According to the above configuration, since the water can be guided in the direction away from the mating portion by the inclined surface inclined from the mating portion side to the counter mating portion side, it is possible to reliably prevent water from flowing into the mating portion side. Can do.
Therefore, water leakage from the mating portion can be reliably prevented, and water leakage into the engine room can be more reliably prevented.

The gap due to this can be filled with the cover portion of another grill member.
Therefore, it is possible to prevent leakage of hot air, odor, and noise in the engine room to the outside while maintaining the moldability of the grill member.

According to this invention, even when rainwater or the like increases or the flow rate changes due to turning of the vehicle or the like, rainwater does not flow into the mating portion, and rainwater can be prevented from leaking into the engine room from the mating portion. it can.
Therefore, in the cowl grille structure of a vehicle that forms a cowl grill by combining a plurality of members divided in the vehicle width direction, even when the amount of rainwater or the like increases or the flow rate changes due to vehicle turning, etc. It is possible to prevent rainwater and the like from entering the “matching section” and to prevent water leakage into the engine room.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view including a cowl grille structure and a front windshield for a vehicle according to a first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a main part showing a mating part of the cowl grille structure, and FIG. FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a side wall portion and the like on the side of the flange, and FIG. 5 is a detailed perspective view showing a receiving surface portion of the first grill member. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. 2, and FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along line BB in FIG. In each drawing, the left side direction of the vehicle width is L, and the right side direction of the vehicle width is R.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the cowl grill 1 of this embodiment is installed over the entire region in the vehicle width direction at the lower end edge of the front windshield 2 that is inclined to rise rearward. Rainwater or the like wiped off by a wiper device (not shown) flows on the surface of the front windshield 2.

  The cowl grill 1 is composed of a molded part molded of synthetic resin, and is composed of two members, a first grill member 3 disposed on the right side in the vehicle width direction and a second grill member 4 disposed on the left side. ing. The first grill member 3 and the second grill member 4 are combined so as to be continuous in the vehicle width direction, thereby constituting one cowl grill 1.

  Thus, by combining the two grill members 3 and 4 to form one cowl grill 1, the molding die for resin molding can be made small, so that the molding cost can be reduced. Further, the work of assembling the cowl grill 1 to the vehicle body can be easily performed because it is only necessary to assemble a short arc length.

  The first grill member 3 described above extends in a substantially band shape to the left side position slightly from the vehicle width direction center position (C), and constitutes the right side portion of the cowl grill 1. The first grill member 3 has wiper arm holes 5 and 6 through which a wiper arm (not shown) of the wiper device is inserted at the right end and the center, respectively.

  Further, a seal receiving portion 31 that supports the rear end of the bonnet 7 (see FIG. 6) via the seal member 8 (see FIG. 6) is formed at the front end edge of the first grill member 3, A wind contact portion 32 that contacts the lower end 2a of the front windshield 2 is formed.

  A concave groove 33 extending in the vehicle width direction is formed between the seal receiving portion 31 and the window contact portion 32, and a mesh opening 34 is formed in the concave groove 33 over almost the entire region. Yes. Thus, the rainwater or the like flowing into the concave groove 33 from the mesh opening 34 is drained into the cowl box 9 (see FIG. 6) located below.

  A convex portion 35 extending in the vehicle width direction and protruding upward is formed behind the concave groove portion 33. The convex portion 35 prevents the gap between the rear end of the bonnet 7 and the cowl grill 1 from being conspicuous from the outside, and allows rainwater or the like flowing from the front windshield 2 to the front of the vehicle to be as far forward as possible. It is provided to prevent you from going.

  The second grill member 4 described above extends in a substantially band shape from the center position (C) in the vehicle width direction to the left position, and constitutes the left portion of the cowl grill 1. The second grill member 4 also has a seal receiving portion 41 that supports the rear end of the bonnet 7 at the front end edge, and a window contact portion 42 that contacts the lower end 2a of the front windshield 2 at the rear end edge. Yes.

  A concave groove 43 extending in the vehicle width direction is also formed between the seal receiving portion 41 and the window contact portion 42, and a mesh opening 44 is formed in the concave groove 43 almost over the entire area. . Thus, the second grill member 4 is also configured to drain rainwater or the like flowing into the concave groove 43 from the mesh opening 44 into the cowl box 9 (see FIG. 6).

  As shown in FIG. 2, the first grill member 3 and the second grill member 4 are combined at the matching portion 10 at a substantially central position in the vehicle width direction to bring the adjacent side end surfaces 36 and 46 into contact with each other. Installed.

The mating portion 10 is formed so as to extend substantially linearly from the rear side of the vehicle to the front side of the vehicle so as to cut through the window contact portions 32 and 42, the convex portions 35 and 45, and the concave groove portions 33 and 43. (Set).
However, in the seal portions 31 and 41, the vehicle width direction dividing surface 11 is formed so as to extend in the vehicle front-rear direction at a position offset from these mating portions 10 toward the vehicle width direction center side.

  In this way, by forming the vehicle width direction dividing surface 11 at a position offset from the mating portion 10, the space between the mating portion 10 and the mating portion 10 is bent in a crank shape. The rainwater or the like flowing forward through the portion 10 is prevented from flowing into the vehicle width direction dividing surface 11 of the seal portions 31 and 41.

  At both side positions in the vehicle width direction of the mating portion 10 of the concave groove portions 33, 43, dam-like rib portions 37, 47 are provided which extend in the vehicle front-rear direction and partition the concave groove portions 33, 43 in the vehicle width direction as flow restricting means. Has been established.

  The dam-like rib portions 37 and 47 are constituted by a first dam-like rib portion 37 formed on the first grill member 3 side and a second dam-like rib portion 47 formed on the second grill member 4 side. Both are formed of rib wall surfaces that are substantially J-shaped in side view.

  By providing these two dam-like rib portions 37 and 47, it is difficult for rainwater in the concave groove portions 33 and 43 to flow into the mating portion 10 located therebetween. That is, the rainwater in the concave grooves 33 and 43 may not be drained from the mesh openings 34 and 44 when the vehicle turns or when a large amount of rainwater flows, and may flow into the mating portion 10 side. By providing the dam-like rib portions 37 and 47, the flow of rainwater and the like is blocked.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the first dam-like rib portion 37 and the second dam-like rib portion 47 both have a predetermined distance (for example, S1: 2 cm, S2: 1 cm) from the mating portion 10 in the vehicle width direction. ).

  For this reason, even if rainwater or the like exceeds the first dam-like rib portion 37 or the second dam-like rib portion 47 due to surface tension, it becomes difficult to reach the mating portion 10 and prevents water leakage from the mating portion 10. can do.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, a flange portion 12 having a U-shaped cross section extending in the vehicle front-rear direction is provided below the mating portion 10.

  The flange 12 has a rear end 12a opened in the cowl box 9 with the vehicle rear side inclined downward. As a result, the water leaking from the mating portion 10 can be received by the collar portion 12 and guided into the cowl box 9.

  The lower part of the flange 12 is an engine room E as shown in FIG. 6, and if this flange 12 is not present, water leaks from the mating part 10 of the concave grooves 33 and 43 into the engine room. . This water leakage is prevented by the flange 12 below the mating portion 10.

  Further, a mounting portion 13 for mounting the cowl grill 1 on the front end flange 9 a of the cowl box 9 is provided at the lower portion of the flange portion 12.

  The connection structure of the first grill member 3 and the second grill member 4 includes an insertion pin 48 and an engaging claw 49 formed on the lower surface of the second grill member 4, and an insertion hole 38 formed in the first grill member 3. And the locking hole 39.

  That is, the insertion pin 48 projecting and formed on the lower surface of the convex portion 45 of the second grill member 4 is inserted into the insertion hole 38 of the first grill member 3 so as to be placed on the lower surface of the window contact portion 42 of the second grill member 4. The formed engaging claws 49 are locked and fixed in the locking holes 39 of the first grill member 3, thereby connecting the first grill member 3 and the second grill member 4 above the cowl box 9. (See arrow in FIG. 3).

  As shown in FIG. 3, the protruding piece 4 </ b> A of the second grill member 4 is formed in a rectangular shape that protrudes to the right in the vehicle width direction from the side end face 46 (matching portion 10) of the second grill member 4. And the vehicle width direction division surface 11 of the seal parts 31 and 41 mentioned above is comprised.

  The front end edge of the protruding piece 4A is further provided with a notch 4Aa, so that the vehicle width direction dividing surface 11 of the seal portions 31 and 41 has a crank shape in plan view.

  By doing so, as shown in FIG. 2, the front end 11 a of the vehicle width direction dividing surface 11 is positioned above the front end 12 a of the flange portion 12, and therefore flows down from the front end 11 a of the vehicle width direction dividing surface 11. Rain water or the like can be received by the buttock 12.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the first grill member 3 positioned below the protruding piece 4A is provided with a receiving surface 50 for receiving water leaking from the protruding piece 4A.

  The receiving surface portion 50 is provided with two vertical wall portions 51 and 52 extending in the vehicle width direction in parallel at the front and rear positions, and supports the protruding piece portion 4A on the receiving surface portion 50.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the receiving surface portion 50 is formed as an inclined surface that is inclined so that the right side in the vehicle width direction is downward, and at the right end of the vertical wall portion 52, the concave groove portion 33 side (vehicle A guide opening 53 is formed on the rear side.

  The guide opening 53 is open to the concave groove 33 on the right side in the vehicle width direction of the first dam-like rib portion 37, that is, on the side opposite to the mating portion 10 (on the counter mating portion 10 side). By opening the guide opening portion 53 at such a position, rainwater received by the receiving surface portion 50 can flow on the right side in the vehicle width direction, that is, on the opposite side of the mating portion 10. For this reason, it is possible to prevent rainwater received by the receiving surface portion 50 from flowing into the mating portion 10 side.

  Further, as described above, the flange portion 12 is formed at the left end of the first grill member 3, but forming the side portion (left side wall) of the flange portion 12 to the upper position is a molding error. And when considering assembly errors, it is not possible.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, a side wall portion 13 that covers the side surface of the flange portion 12 is formed at the lower portion of the second grill member 4 so as to extend downward, and covers the side surface of the flange portion 12 to the upper position. I have to.

  The side wall portion 13 is formed on the side of the flange portion 12 so as to extend in the vehicle front-rear direction so that no gap is generated between the flange portion 12 and the lower surface of the second grill member 4.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the relationship between the flange portion 12 and the side wall portion 13 is such that the side wall portion 13 is positioned so as to completely cover the side of the flange portion 12, thereby 14 is a completely sealed space.

  For this reason, the internal space 14 in the collar part 12 is a space that is cut off from the engine room E, and hot air, odor, and noise in the engine room E are passed through the collar part 12 in the cowl box 9 and the like. This prevents leakage outside the engine room (for example, outside the vehicle).

Next, the effect of this embodiment comprised in this way is demonstrated.
A cowl grill 1 of a vehicle according to this embodiment constitutes one cowl grill 1 by combining a first grill member 3 and a second grill member 4 divided in the vehicle width direction.

Therefore, water leakage from the vehicle width direction dividing surface 11 located on the vehicle front side can be suppressed, and water leakage into the engine room E can be more reliably prevented.

Moreover, in this embodiment, the receiving surface part 50 which receives water is provided under the vehicle width direction division | segmentation surface 11, and the water received by this receiving surface part 50 is a counter-matching part side (vehicle width) from the 1st dam-like rib part 37. A guide opening 53 is provided to guide the concave groove 33 on the outer side.
Thereby, the receiving surface 50 receives water leaking from the vehicle width direction dividing surface 11 and guides the received water from the first dam-shaped rib portion 37 to the concave groove 33 on the vehicle width outer side. It is possible to prevent the received water from flowing into the collar portion 12.
Therefore, since it is possible to suppress an increase in the flow rate of the flange portion 12 while preventing water leakage at the vehicle width direction dividing surface 11, water leakage into the engine room E can be further reliably prevented.

Moreover, in this embodiment, the receiving surface part 50 is formed in the inclined surface which inclines below toward the vehicle width outward side from the matching part 10 side.
Thereby, since water can be guide | induced to the direction away from the mating part 10, it can prevent reliably that water flows into the mating part 10 side.
Therefore, water leakage from the mating portion 10 can be reliably prevented, and water leakage into the engine room E can be more reliably prevented.

In this embodiment, the flange portion 12 is formed on the first grill member 3, and the side wall portion 13 that covers the side surface of the flange portion 12 is provided on the second grill member 4.
Thereby, productivity of each grill member 3, 4 can be ensured, and a gap due to the formation of the flange portion 12 on the first grill member 3 can be filled with the side wall portion 13 of the second grill member 4.
Therefore, it is possible to prevent the heat, odor, and noise in the engine room E from leaking to the outside while maintaining the productivity of the cowl grill 1.
