  By the way, the hinge pillar receives a load to the rear at the time of a forward collision. However, particularly at the time of an offset collision, the hinge pillar receives a load that is deformed outward in the vehicle width direction. When the hinge pillar is deformed outward in the vehicle width direction, the deformation in the front-rear direction becomes easier and the amount of deformation toward the passenger compartment increases, so the deformation of the hinge pillar in the vehicle width direction outward is suppressed as much as possible. Would be desirable.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its object is to prevent or suppress deformation of the hinge pillar toward the outer side in the vehicle width direction during a frontal collision. Is to provide.

In order to achieve the above object, the following first solution is adopted in the present invention. That is, as described in claim 1 in the claims,
An instrument panel supporting member extending in the vehicle width direction is constructed to be installed between the left and right hinge pillars via a bracket, and an engaging portion provided on the bracket is engaged with a temporary deposit pin provided on the hinge pillar. A vehicle body side structure of the vehicle, wherein the instrument panel support member is temporarily assembled to the hinge pillar in a state of being
The temporary deposit pin is provided with a stopper portion that engages with the bracket and restricts the hinge pillar from moving outward in the vehicle width direction.
It is like that. According to the above-mentioned solution, the bracket resists the external force that the hinge pillar tends to deform toward the outer side in the vehicle width direction at the time of forward collision, particularly at the time of offset collision. The outward deformation is prevented or suppressed. Further, displacement of the left and right hinge pillars outward in the vehicle width direction is prevented or suppressed by the other left and right hinge pillars via the instrument panel support member. Furthermore, by effectively using the temporary deposit pin, it is possible to prevent or suppress the deformation of the hinge pillar outward in the vehicle width direction with a simple configuration.

A preferred mode based on the above solution is as described in claim 2 and the following claims. That is,
In a state where the bracket is fastened to the hinge pillar, a small interval is formed in the vehicle width direction between the stopper portion and the bracket (corresponding to claim 2). In this case, it is possible to prevent the stopper portion and the bracket from inadvertently coming into contact with each other due to vibration during traveling, and to prevent the generation of noise due to the contact.

The temporary deposit pin is configured by a stepped bolt that is screwed to the hinge pillar, and the stopper portion is configured by a head of the stepped bolt,
In a state where the bracket is fastened to the hinge pillar, a small interval is formed in the vehicle width direction between the head as the stopper and the bracket.
(Corresponding to claim 3). In this case, while obtaining the effect corresponding to claim 2, the temporary deposit pin and the stopper portion can be easily configured using the stepped bolts. Moreover, the position of the bolt head as the stopper portion can be accurately positioned at a desired position simply by attaching the stepped bolt to the hinge pillar.

A fixing member for fixing the temporary deposit pin is attached to the hinge pillar,
A plate member having an area larger than that of the fixing member is interposed between the fixing member and the hinge pillar.
(Corresponding to claim 4). In this case, the instrument panel support member resists the external force that the hinge pillar tends to displace outward in the vehicle width direction through the plate member. Thus, it is preferable to sufficiently exhibit the effect of preventing the deformation of the hinge pillar toward the outer side in the vehicle width direction by the instrument panel support member.

The fixed part of the hinge pillar and the instrument panel support member is set at the rear of the hinge pillar,
A door hinge is located in front of the fixed part,
The plate member extends forward to at least the position of the door hinge and is coupled to the hinge pillar;
(Corresponding to claim 5). In this case, it is preferable to transmit the load for deforming the hinge pillar outward in the vehicle width direction to the instrument panel support member more reliably via the plate member.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the deformation | transformation to the vehicle width direction outward side at the time of a front collision can be prevented or suppressed. In addition, the temporary deposit pin can be effectively used to provide a simple configuration.

FIG. 1 is a side view of the front fender 1 attached, and FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of the door hinge portion with the front fender 1 removed. FIG. 3 is an enlarged perspective view showing a hinge reinforcement part by further removing the hinge pillar outer from the state shown in FIG. 1-3, 2 is a hinge pillar, 3 is a front pillar extending upward from the upper part of the hinge pillar, and 4 is an apron reinforcement extending forward from the upper part of the hinge pillar. Moreover, the lower end part of the hinge pillar 2 is joined to the side sill 5 extended in the front-back direction.

  A pair of upper and lower door hinges 10 and 11 are attached to the hinge pillar 2. Each of the door hinges 10 and 11 has a pillar side mounting portion 13 integrated with the hinge pillar 2, a door side mounting portion 14 integrated with a side door (not shown), and a connecting pin 15 extending in the vertical direction. And the pillar side attaching part 13 and the door side attaching part 14 are connected by the connecting pin 15 so that rocking is possible (the connecting pin 15 becomes the rocking center when the side door is opened and closed).

  As shown in FIG. 4, the hinge pillar 2 is formed in a closed cross section by a hinge pillar outer 2A and a hinge pillar inner 2B, and is reinforced by a hinge pillar reinforcement 2C disposed therein.

  The outer end of the dash panel 6 in the vehicle width direction is connected to the front end of the hinge pillar 2. The dash panel 6 separates the vehicle compartment from the engine room in front of the vehicle compartment, and extends in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction (see FIGS. 4 and 5). The dash panel 6 includes a dash panel lower 6A and a dash panel upper 6B, and a lower end portion of the dash panel upper 6B is joined to an upper end portion of the dash panel lower 6A. The dash panel upper 6B constitutes a cowl portion 6C.

  A dash panel reinforcement 7 extending in the vehicle width direction is joined to the rear surface of the dash panel 6, more specifically, to the rear surface of the upper end portion of the dash panel lower 6 </ b> A. The end of the dash panel reinforcement 7 in the vehicle width direction extends to the immediate vicinity of the hinge pillar 2.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the rear ends of the pair of left and right hinge pillars 2 (one hinge pillar not shown) are connected by an instrument panel support member (steering support member) 20 as a strength member extending in the vehicle width direction. ing. The instrument panel support member 20 is connected to the hinge pillar 2 via a bracket 21, and a fixing tool for connection to the hinge pillar 2 is indicated by reference numeral 22. In addition, the detail of the connection part of the bracket 21 and the hinge pillar 2 is mentioned later.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the upper door hinge 10 is integrated with the hinge pillar 2 via a hinge reinforcement 30. The hinge reinforcement 30 has a bulging portion 30a that bulges outward in the vehicle width direction, and is generally formed in a cup shape that opens toward the inner side in the vehicle width direction. It has become excellent in rigidity. The bulging portion 30a (the outer surface in the vehicle width direction) of the hinge reinforcement 30 and the upper door hinge 10 (the pillar side mounting portion 13) sandwich the hinge pillar outer 2A and the hinge pillar reinforcement 2C. In this state, it is fixed by a fixing tool 31 (see FIG. 4). In addition, the hinge reinforcement 30 is comprised by processing an iron plate, for example.

  The hinge reinforcement 30 has a pair of upper and lower mounting portions 30b at the inner side in the vehicle width direction (see FIGS. 8 and 9). The mounting portion 30b is for mounting a gusset member 40, which will be described later, and is positioned on the hinge pillar inner 2B side. More specifically, the mounting portion 30b is positioned so as to contact or substantially contact the inner surface of the hinge pillar inner 2B. Has been.

  As shown in FIGS. 4, 6 and 7, the hinge reinforcement 30 and the dash panel 6 are connected by a gusset member 40. The gusset member 40 is positioned on the inner side in the vehicle width direction of the hinge pillar inner 2B, and is formed on the upper and lower sides of the main body portion 40A having a U-shaped cross section that opens toward the outer side in the vehicle width direction The overall cross-sectional shape is a hat shape (see FIG. 13 in particular). The gusset member 40 is formed, for example, by processing an iron plate.

  In the gusset member 40, the upper surface and the lower surface of the main body portion 40A have the same shape, and are set so as to gradually become wider (the vehicle width direction length increases) toward the front. Further, the gusset member 40 is disposed so as to gradually go inward in the vehicle width direction as it goes forward (a faint function for reinforcing the intersection between the hinge pillar 2 and the dash panel 6). .

  At the rear end portion of the gusset member 40, a pair of upper and lower mounting portions 40C are formed extending from the upper and lower flange portions 40B. The mounting portion 40C is at a position corresponding to the mounting portion 30b of the hinge reinforcement 30 (see particularly FIG. 8).

  In addition, a total of three attachment portions 40 </ b> D are formed at the front end portion of the gusset member 40 at intervals in the vertical direction. The positions of the upper two attachment portions 40D are set so as to be the height position of the dash panel upper 6B. The lowermost mounting portion 40 </ b> D corresponds to the height position of the dash panel reinforcement 7.

  The connection between the gusset member 40 and the hinge reinforcement 30 is performed as follows. In other words, the hinge pillar inner 2B is sandwiched between the attachment portion 40C of the gusset member 40 and the attachment portion 30b of the hinge reinforcement 30 and is fixed by a fixture 41 such as a bolt or nut (FIGS. 4 and 7). FIG. 8).

  The connection between the gusset member 40 and the dash panel 6 is performed as follows. That is, the upper two mounting portions 40D among the mounting portions 40D on the front side of the gusset member 40 are fixed to the dash panel upper 6B by the fixtures 42 such as bolts and nuts (see FIGS. 7 and 8). ). The lowermost mounting portion 40D of the front mounting portion 40D is fixed to the dash panel reinforcement 7 by a fixing tool 43 such as a bolt or a nut (see FIGS. 7 and 8).

  The apron reinforcement 4 extending forward from the upper end of the gusset member 40 and the hinge pillar 2 is set so that the height positions thereof are substantially the same (the apron reinforcement 4 is extended rearward). 3) The gusset member 40 is positioned within the height position range of the extension line.

  Next, the connection of the instrument panel support member 20 to the hinge pillar 2 and the temporary storage to the hinge pillar 2 will be described. First, the bracket 21 is integrated with each end portion of the instrument panel support member 20 by, for example, welding (see FIGS. 6 and 11). The bracket 21 is fixed to the hinge pillar 2 by using a fixing tool 22 at two places, upper and lower, across the instrument panel support member 20. As shown in FIG. 13, the fixture 22 is provided on the hinge pillar 2 side and protrudes from the hinge pillar 2 inward in the vehicle width direction, and is screwed into the bolt 22A on the inner side in the vehicle width direction of the hinge pillar 2. It is comprised from the combined nut 22B. And in the hinge pillar 2, the cylindrical spacer 22C is fitted by the outer periphery of the volt | bolt 22A.

  Corresponding to the bolts 22A, through holes 21a are formed in the bracket 21 at two locations on the upper and lower sides (see FIGS. 11 to 13). The bracket 21 is fixed to the hinge pillar 2 by inserting the bolt 22A through the through hole 21a and screwing the nut 22B into the bolt 22A. The bracket 21 is fixed by such a fixture 22 at the rear end of the hinge pillar 2. More specifically, the hinge pillar 2 has a slightly smaller width in the vehicle width direction than the front side portion of the door hinges 10 and 11 (with a small closed cross section). The bracket 21, that is, the instrument panel support member 20 is fixed at the portion where the width in the width direction is reduced.

  At the upper front end portion of the bracket 21, an engagement portion 24 is formed which is a recess opening downward. Corresponding to the engaging member 24, a temporary deposit pin 25 is formed to protrude from the hinge pillar 2 inward in the vehicle width direction. Before the bracket 21 and the hinge pillar 2 are fixed by the fixing tool 22, the instrument panel support member 20 is connected via the temporary deposit pin 25 by engaging (fitting) the engaging portion 24 with the temporary deposit pin 25 in advance. It will be temporarily stored in the hinge pillar 2. As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the lower end portion of the bracket 21 is provided with another engaging portion 24 ′ (corresponding to the engaging portion 24) formed of a recess opening downward. A temporary depositing pin (not shown corresponding to the temporary depositing pin 25) is also provided on the hinge pillar 2.

  A stopper portion 26 is provided at the tip of the temporary deposit pin 25 on the inner side in the vehicle width direction from the portion where the engaging portion 24 is engaged. The stopper portion 26 has a diameter larger than the opening diameter of the engaging portion 24. As a result, in the state where the engaging portion 24 of the bracket 21 is engaged with the temporary deposit pin 25, even if the bracket 21, that is, the instrument panel support member 20, attempts to displace toward the inner side in the vehicle width direction, the stopper portion 26 Displacement will be regulated. In other words, the bracket 21 is regulated by the stopper portion 26 so that the distance from the inner surface in the vehicle width direction of the hinge pillar 2 does not become larger than a predetermined value. The temporary deposit pin 25 is configured by using a bolt, and the stopper portion 26 is configured by a nut screwed to the bolt.

  A plate member 27 as a reinforcing member is interposed between the head of the bolt constituting the temporary deposit pin 25 and the hinge pillar inner 2B. The plate member 27 extends long forward, and the front end position thereof is positioned forward of the fixture 31 that is a fixing portion for the hinge pillar 2 of the door hinges 10 and 11. Further, the rear end of the plate member 27 extends rearward long to a position where it abuts on the bracket 22 fixing fixture 22 from the front. In the embodiment, the rear end portion of the plate member 27 is engaged with the fixture 22 from the front. Such a plate member 27 is joined to the hinge pillar inner 2B by welding or the like, for example.

  As shown in FIG. 13, a predetermined gap L <b> 1 is set between the bracket 21 and the stopper portion 26 in the vehicle width direction. The size of the gap L1 is set to a value as small as possible within a range in which the bracket 21 and the stopper portion 26 do not come into contact with each other when subjected to vibration during traveling (for example, several mm).

  Next, the operation of the configuration as described above will be described. First, a state after the assembly in which the bracket 21 is fixed to the hinge pillar 2 by the fixing tool 22 will be described.

  At the time of a forward collision or an offset collision, a load is applied to the hinge pillar 2 that is deformed toward the outside in the vehicle width direction with a load applied to the rear. Deformation of the hinge pillar 2 toward the outer side in the vehicle width direction at the time of a forward collision is prevented or suppressed by the bracket 21. That is, when the hinge pillar 2 tries to be deformed outward in the vehicle width direction, the stopper portion 26 provided on the temporary deposit pin 25 is engaged with the bracket 21, and the deformation is caused by the bracket 21 resisting. It will be prevented or suppressed. Further, the deformation of the hinge pillar 2 outward in the vehicle width direction through the instrument panel support member 20 is prevented or suppressed. Explaining this point, the pair of left and right hinge pillars 2 are restricted from being separated from each other in the vehicle width direction by the stopper portion 26 of the temporary deposit pin 25 via the instrument panel support member 20 and the bracket 21. Therefore, the left and right hinge pillars 2 are resisted via the instrument panel support member 20 against an external force that is to deform the left and right hinge pillars 2 outward in the vehicle width direction, so that the vehicle width of the hinge pillars 2 is increased. Deformation outward in the direction is prevented or suppressed. The prevention or suppression of the deformation of the hinge pillar 2 outward in the vehicle width direction using the instrument panel support member 20 is performed by using the stopper portion 26 provided on the temporary deposit pin 25.

  The resistance force to prevent the deformation of the hinge pillar 2 outward in the vehicle width direction by the instrument panel support member 20 acts on the hinge pillar inner 2B via the plate member 27. Since the plate member 27 has a sufficiently large area as compared with the head of the temporary deposit pin 25, a large force is prevented from acting locally on the hinge pillar inner 2B, and the instrument panel supporting member 20 is used. Thus, deformation prevention or suppression of the hinge pillar 2 toward the outer side in the vehicle width direction is effectively performed.

  A gap L <b> 1 in the vehicle width direction is set between the bracket 21 and the stopper portion 26. For this reason, the bracket 21 and the stopper portion 26 are prevented from inadvertently contacting with each other even when receiving vibration during traveling (preventing generation of abnormal noise due to contact).

  In addition, the plate member 27 extends sufficiently forward (extends to the large closed cross section of the hinge pillar 2) and is joined to the hinge pillar inner 2B, so that the reinforcement of the hinge pillar 2 is enhanced. When sufficiently performed, the deformation of the hinge pillar 2 toward the outer side in the vehicle width direction is more reliably prevented or suppressed. Further, the rearward external force at the time of a frontal collision is effectively transmitted to the fixture 22 portion connecting the bracket 21 and the hinge pillar 2 via the plate member 27, and by the instrument panel supporting member 20 as a strength member. The load to the rear can be received firmly.

  The deformation or prevention of the hinge pillar 2 outward in the vehicle width direction is also performed by the gusset member 40. That is, when the hinge pillar 2 tries to deform toward the outer side in the vehicle width direction, the gusset member 40 receives a tensile force from the hinge pillar 2, and this tensile force is received by the dash panel 6 via the gusset member 40, The deformation of the hinge pillar 2 toward the outer side in the vehicle width direction is prevented or suppressed. By preventing or suppressing the hinge pillar 2 from being deformed outward in the vehicle width direction, the backward displacement of the hinge pillar 2, that is, the backward movement toward the passenger compartment is prevented or suppressed.

  A rearward load at the time of a frontal collision is input to the hinge pillar 2 via the apron reinforcement 4. The height position of the gusset member 40 corresponds to the height position of the apron reinforcement 4. Therefore, the deformation of the hinge pillar 2 using the gusset member 40 toward the outer side in the vehicle width direction is more effectively prevented or suppressed.

  Since the gusset member 40 is attached to the hinge pillar 2 through the hinge reinforcement 30 as a strength member, the attachment strength (rigidity) is high. Further, since the gusset member 40 is attached to the dash panel 6 with respect to the dash panel upper 6B and the dash panel reinforcement 7 as a strength member joined to the dash panel lower 6A. Mounting strength (rigidity) is also high. The high attachment strength before and after the gusset member 40 means that the connection strength of the hinge pillar 2 to the dash panel 6 is high, which is advantageous in suppressing deformation of the hinge pillar 2 to the outside in the vehicle width direction.

  Since the gusset member 40 is connected across the dash panel lower 6A and the dash panel outer panel 6B, the strength of the connecting portion between the 6A and 6B is also increased. Of course, since the dash panel 6 is reinforced by the dash panel reinforcement 7, the dash panel reinforcement 7 is not easily deformed even when a tensile force received from the hinge pillar 2 through the gusset member 40 is received.

  Since the gusset member 40 has a smooth function to reinforce a corner portion that is an intersection portion between the hinge pillar 2 and the dash panel 6, the rigidity of the intersection portion can be greatly improved. This increases the rigidity of the vehicle body, which is preferable in terms of preventing vibration during traveling and preventing the vehicle body from twisting.

  The gusset member 40 has a rear end width (vehicle width direction width) that is smaller than a front end width. Thereby, not only the weight of the gusset member 40 is reduced, but also the passenger can use the vehicle interior as effectively as possible in the vehicle interior, and it is preferable from the viewpoint of securing a space for separately arranging the interior parts. Further, since the width of the front end portion side of the gusset member 40 is increased, that is, the width of the connecting portion to the dash panel 6 side that is relatively thin is increased, the gusset member 40 acts on the dash panel 6. It is preferable to disperse the external force as much as possible so that the external force is not concentrated on the dash panel 6. Incidentally, when the width of the gusset member 40 is kept as large as the front end portion as a whole, the gusset member 40 is considerably increased in size and weight.

  Next, the temporary assembly of the instrument panel support member 20 will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 11, the bracket 21 is integrated with the instrument panel support member 20, and the support member 37, an instrument panel (not shown), a steering mechanism, and the like are attached and integrated. Is prepared. The set body S is temporarily assembled between the left and right hinge pillars 2 by engaging the engaging portions 24 of the left and right brackets 21 with temporary depositing pins 25 protruding from the hinge pillars 2. . In this temporarily assembled state, the instrument panel support member 20 is not fixed to the hinge pillar 2 using the fixture 22.

  Thereafter, the instrument panel support member 20 is fixed to the hinge pillar 2 by the fixture 22 while finely adjusting the position of the instrument panel support member 20 so that the instrument panel or the like is at a predetermined position with respect to the vehicle body. In particular, since the temporary depositing pin 25 is engaged with the engaging portion 24 in a fitting manner, it is possible to easily perform an attaching operation of an instrument panel or the like.

  FIG. 14 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the temporary deposit pin 25 and the stopper portion 26 are configured using stepped bolts 35. That is, the stepped bolt 35 includes a large diameter portion 35A, a head portion 35B integrally formed on one end portion side of the large diameter portion 35A, and a small diameter portion 35C extending integrally from the other end portion of the large diameter portion 35A. Have. The small diameter portion 35C is a screw portion.

  The stepped bolt 35 is integrated with the hinge pillar 2 in advance by screwing a small diameter portion 35C (a thread portion formed therein) with a nut member 36 integrated on the inner surface side of the hinge pillar inner 2B. Has been. The engaging portion 24 of the bracket 21 is engaged (fitted) from above with respect to the large diameter portion 35 </ b> A of the stepped bolt 35. At this time, in the axial direction (vehicle width direction) of the stepped bolt 35, the bracket 21 is set to have a small gap (several mm) between the hinge pillar inner 2B and the head portion 35B. In particular, in FIG. 14, a gap in the vehicle width direction between the bracket 21 and the head 35 </ b> B is indicated by a symbol L <b> 1 (corresponding to L <b> 1 in FIG. 13).

  In the present embodiment, by using the stepped bolt 35, both the function of the temporary deposit pin 25 and the function of the stopper portion 26 can be obtained simultaneously. Further, the stepped bolt 35 has its stepped portion between the large diameter portion 35A and the small diameter portion 35C abutting against the inner surface in the vehicle width direction of the hinge pillar inner 2B, so that the position of the head portion 35B in the vehicle width direction is automatically set. Positioning is performed with high accuracy (the gap L1 can be set with high accuracy and simplicity).

  Although the embodiment has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment, and can be appropriately changed within the scope described in the scope of claims. For example, the invention includes the following cases. . The cross-sectional shape of the gusset member 40 can be set to an appropriate shape. The gusset member 40 and the dash panel 6 may be connected without using the dash panel reinforcement 7. The hinge reinforcement 30 does not have a cup-shaped portion and may be entirely plate-shaped, and in this case, it is preferable to perform bending or beading in order to improve rigidity or the like. . The gusset member 40 may not be provided. The number of the temporary depositing pin 25 provided with the stopper portion 26 and the corresponding engaging portion 24 of the bracket 21 is not limited to two, but may be one or three or more. Of course, the object of the present invention is not limited to what is explicitly stated, but also implicitly includes providing what is substantially preferred or expressed as an advantage.
