Description

本発明は、車両用部品間のシール構造に係り、特に、車両用部品間に形成される間隙を通じての風抜けを防止するための車両用部品間のシール構造の改良に関する。   The present invention relates to a seal structure between vehicle parts, and more particularly, to an improvement in a seal structure between vehicle parts for preventing air leakage through a gap formed between vehicle parts.

一般に、自動車等の車両に対して、互いに異なる別個の車両用部品同士を近接して組み付ける際には、それらの車両用部品同士が、車両の走行中の入力振動等により接触して、異音を発生したり、或いは各車両用部品が損傷したり、変形したりするのを防止するために、互いに近接する車両用部品同士の間に、所定の間隙、所謂設計隙が形成される(例えば、下記特許文献1参照)。しかしながら、車両用部品の種類によっては、近接する別の車両部品との間に、そのような設計隙としての間隙が設けられていると、種々の不具合が生ずる場合がある。   In general, when assembling different vehicle parts close to each other on a vehicle such as an automobile, the vehicle parts come into contact with each other due to input vibration or the like while the vehicle is running, causing abnormal noise. In order to prevent the vehicle parts from being damaged or deformed, a predetermined gap, that is, a so-called design gap is formed between the vehicle parts adjacent to each other (for example, , See Patent Document 1 below). However, depending on the type of vehicle component, if such a gap as a design gap is provided between other adjacent vehicle components, various problems may occur.

例えば、図11に示されるように、自動車のエンジンルーム内のラジエタ100の周囲と前方には、ラジエタ100を保護するシュラウド102と、フロントグリルからエンジンルーム内に流入する風(空気)をラジエタ100に導くための導風板104とが、互いに近接位置するように組み付けられている。しかしながら、それらシュラウド102と導風板104との間に、設計隙としての間隙106が設けられていると、導風板104によって導かれた風が、図11に矢印で示されるように、かかる間隙106を通じて外部に逃げてしまい、その分だけ、ラジエタ100の冷却効率が低下してしまうことが避けられなかった。また、そのような間隙106を通じての風抜けによって、空力性能が低下するといった問題も生じていた。   For example, as shown in FIG. 11, a shroud 102 that protects the radiator 100 and wind (air) that flows into the engine room from the front grille are disposed around and in front of the radiator 100 in the engine room of the automobile. And a wind guide plate 104 for guiding to the position are assembled so as to be close to each other. However, if a gap 106 as a design gap is provided between the shroud 102 and the air guide plate 104, the wind guided by the air guide plate 104 is applied as shown by arrows in FIG. It has been unavoidable that the cooling efficiency of the radiator 100 is reduced by that amount due to escape to the outside through the gap 106. Further, there has been a problem that the aerodynamic performance is lowered due to such a wind passage through the gap 106.

そこで、従来では、多くの場合、図12に示されるように、各種のクッション材等からなるシール部材108が、シュラウド102と導風板104との間の間隙106内に、かかる間隙106を埋めるようにして、取り付けられていた。ところが、そのようなシール部材108は、通常、間隙106を隔てて互いに対向位置するシュラウド102と導風板104の各対向部位110,112に対して、両面テープ等にて接着したり、リベット止めしたりして、接合、固定されている。そのため、かかるシール部材108を固定するには、シュラウド102と導風板104を自動車に組み付ける作業を行った後、かかる作業とは別個の作業を更に行わなければならなかった。   Therefore, conventionally, in many cases, as shown in FIG. 12, a seal member 108 made of various cushion materials or the like fills the gap 106 in the gap 106 between the shroud 102 and the air guide plate 104. Was attached. However, such a sealing member 108 is usually adhered to each of the facing portions 110 and 112 of the shroud 102 and the air guide plate 104 facing each other with a gap 106 therebetween, or riveted. Or they are joined and fixed. For this reason, in order to fix the seal member 108, after the work of assembling the shroud 102 and the air guide plate 104 to the automobile, a work separate from the work must be performed.

また、例えば、間隙106が比較的に複雑な形状とされている場合等においては、シール部材108の固定作業が、より面倒なものとなるばかりでなく、シュラウド102と導風板104の各対向部位110,112に対するシール部材108の接合力にバラツキが生じて、安定したシール性を確保することが困難となる可能性があった。しかも、図12に二点鎖線で示されるように、自動車の走行時の入力振動等により、シュラウド102や導風板104とが互いに離間する方向に相対変位したときには、シール部材108が、シュラウド102と導風板104のうちの何れか一方から剥がれて(図12には、導風板104から剥がれた状態を示している)、それらシュラウド102や導風板104とシール部材108との間にスキができてしまい、それによって、シール性が損なわれる事態が生ずる恐れさえもあったのである。   Further, for example, when the gap 106 has a relatively complicated shape, the fixing operation of the seal member 108 becomes not only more troublesome, but also the shroud 102 and the air guide plate 104 face each other. There is a possibility that the bonding force of the seal member 108 to the portions 110 and 112 may vary, and it may be difficult to ensure stable sealing performance. In addition, as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 12, when the shroud 102 and the air guide plate 104 are relatively displaced in a direction away from each other due to input vibration or the like during driving of the automobile, the seal member 108 is moved to the shroud 102. And the air guide plate 104 (FIG. 12 shows a state where the air guide plate 104 is peeled off), and between the shroud 102 and the air guide plate 104 and the seal member 108. There was even a risk that a gap could occur, thereby causing a situation where the sealing performance was impaired.

The structure for sealing between vehicle parts according to any one of the above aspects (1) to (5), wherein the direction is parallel to the assembly direction of at least one of the vehicle parts. .

すなわち、本発明に従う車両用部品間のシール構造によれば、第一の車両用部品や第二の車両用部品を車両に組み付ける際に、単に、第二の車両用部品に一体成形された板状延出部を、第一の車両用部品に一体成形された第一及び第二のリブのそれぞれの対向面間に圧入するだけで、第一及び第二の車両用部品間の間隙を、その形状が複雑であるか否かに拘わらず、各車両用部品の車両への組付と同時の効率的な作業により、より容易に且つ確実にシールすることが出来る。   That is, according to the seal structure between the vehicle components according to the present invention, when the first vehicle component or the second vehicle component is assembled to the vehicle, the plate simply formed integrally with the second vehicle component. The gap between the first and second vehicle parts can be obtained by simply press-fitting the extending portion between the opposing surfaces of the first and second ribs integrally formed with the first vehicle part. Regardless of whether the shape is complicated or not, it is possible to more easily and surely seal by efficient work at the same time as assembling each vehicle component to the vehicle.

また、本発明に係るシール構造では、第一及び第二のリブの互いの対向面間への板状延出部の圧入状態下で、かかる板状延出部に一体成形された板状傾斜突部が、第一及び第二のリブの互いの対向面のうちの何れか一方に対して摺動可能に圧接されている。それ故、例えば、車両の走行中の入力振動等に起因して、第一の車両用部品と第二の車両用部品との間で惹起される相対変位の主たる変位方向において、板状傾斜突部が、第一のリブや第二のリブの対向面に対して摺動せしめられるように、板状延出部が各リブの対向面間に圧入されるように構成すれば、第一の車両用部品と第二の車両用部品との相対変位が惹起されたときに、板状傾斜突部が第一のリブや第二のリブの対向面に対して摺動する。それによって、それらの車両用部品間の間隙のシール性が損なわれるようなことが、効果的に防止乃至は抑制され得る。   Further, in the seal structure according to the present invention, the plate-like slope integrally formed with the plate-like extension portion under the press-fitted state of the plate-like extension portion between the opposing surfaces of the first and second ribs. The protrusion is slidably pressed against one of the opposing surfaces of the first and second ribs. Therefore, for example, in the main displacement direction of the relative displacement caused between the first vehicle component and the second vehicle component due to input vibration during traveling of the vehicle, the plate-like inclined projection If the plate-like extension portion is configured to be press-fitted between the opposing surfaces of each rib so that the portion is slid against the opposing surfaces of the first rib and the second rib, the first When relative displacement between the vehicle component and the second vehicle component is induced, the plate-like inclined protrusion slides against the opposing surfaces of the first rib and the second rib. Thereby, it is possible to effectively prevent or suppress the loss of the sealing performance of the gap between the vehicle parts.

さらに、かかるシール構造においては、第一及び第二のリブの互いの対向面間への板状延出部の圧入状態下で、板状傾斜突部の先端部位が、それら第一及び第二のリブの互いの対向面のうちの何れか一方に対して摺動可能に圧接されている。それ故、第一及び第二のリブの互いの対向面間への板状延出部の圧入状態下で、例えば、板状延出部の厚さ方向両側の板面の全体が、各リブの対向面に対して摺動可能に圧接される場合等に比して、各リブの対向面間への板状延出部の圧入を、より小さな力でスムーズに行うことが出来、それによって、第一及び第二の車両用部品間の間隙のシール作業を、より容易と為すことが出来る。   Further, in such a sealing structure, the tip portion of the plate-like inclined protrusion is in the first and second under the press-fitted state of the plate-like extension portion between the opposing surfaces of the first and second ribs. The ribs are slidably pressed against any one of the opposing surfaces of the ribs. Therefore, under the press-fitted state of the plate-like extension portion between the opposing surfaces of the first and second ribs, for example, the entire plate surfaces on both sides in the thickness direction of the plate-like extension portion are each rib. Compared to the case where it is slidably pressed against the opposite surface, the plate-like extension of the ribs between the opposite surfaces can be smoothly inserted with a smaller force. The sealing work of the gap between the first and second vehicle parts can be made easier.

従って、かくの如き本発明に従う車両用部品間のシール構造によれば、第一の車両用部品と第二の車両用部品間に形成される間隙を通じての風抜けを、面倒な作業を要することなく、より確実に且つ安定的に防止出来、以て、それら車両用部品同士の間において、安定したシール性を、より容易に且つ十分に確保することが出来る。そして、その結果として、第一の車両用部品と第二の車両用部品とを、それらの間に十分な設計隙を形成しつつ、車両に組み付けた状態において、かかる設計隙を通じての風抜けによる様々な不具合の発生を、極めて簡単に且つ効果的に防止することが出来るのである。   Therefore, according to the seal structure between the vehicle parts according to the present invention as described above, it is necessary to perform troublesome work for removing the wind through the gap formed between the first vehicle part and the second vehicle part. Therefore, it is possible to prevent more reliably and stably, and thus it is possible to easily and sufficiently ensure a stable sealing property between the vehicle parts. As a result, in the state where the first vehicle component and the second vehicle component are assembled to the vehicle while forming a sufficient design gap between them, it is caused by wind blow through the design gap. The occurrence of various problems can be prevented very easily and effectively.

また、本発明に従う車両用部品間のシール構造にあっては、第一及び第二のリブの互いの対向面間への板状延出部の圧入状態下で、第一のリブの対向面や第二のリブの対向面に圧接される部位たる板状傾斜突部が、板状延出部の先端部位から傾斜して突出せしめられている。それ故、例えば、第一のリブの対向面や第二のリブの対向面に圧接される部位が、板状延出部の先端部位から、板状延出部に対して直角に突出する部位にて構成される場合とは異なって、例えば、板状延出部が弾性変形不能であっても、第一及び第二のリブの互いの対向面間への板状延出部の圧入時に、第一のリブの対向面や第二のリブの対向面に圧接する板状傾斜突部が、それらのリブの対向面に対する摺動抵抗により、基端部に大きな負担が掛かって、破損したり、変形したりするようなことが可及的に防止され得る。これによっても、車両用部品同士の間において、十分なシール性が、より安定的に確保され得る。   Further, in the seal structure between the vehicle parts according to the present invention, the opposing surface of the first rib under the press-fitted state of the plate-like extension portion between the opposing surfaces of the first and second ribs. In addition, a plate-like inclined protrusion, which is a portion that is pressed against the opposing surface of the second rib, protrudes from the tip portion of the plate-like extension portion. Therefore, for example, a portion where a portion pressed against the facing surface of the first rib or the facing surface of the second rib protrudes perpendicularly from the tip portion of the plate-like extension portion to the plate-like extension portion. Unlike the case where the plate-like extension part is not elastically deformable, for example, when the plate-like extension part is press-fitted between the opposing surfaces of the first and second ribs. The plate-like inclined protrusions that are in pressure contact with the opposing surface of the first rib and the opposing surface of the second rib are damaged due to a large load on the base end due to sliding resistance against the opposing surface of the ribs. Or deformation can be prevented as much as possible. Also by this, sufficient sealing performance can be ensured more stably between the vehicle components.

以下、本発明を更に具体的に明らかにするために、本発明の実施の形態について、図面を参照しつつ、詳細に説明することとする。   Hereinafter, in order to clarify the present invention more specifically, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

先ず、図1には、本発明に従う車両用部品間のシール構造の一実施形態が、示されている。かかる図1において、10は、自動車のエンジンルーム内に設置されるラジエタであって、このラジエタ10の周囲には、樹脂製の矩形枠体からなる、第一の車両用部品としてのシュラウド12が、図示しないラジエタサポートに固定されている。かかるシュラウド12は、その幅(図1の上下方向の寸法)及び高さ(図1の紙面に垂直な方向の寸法)が、ラジエタ10の幅及び高さよりも所定寸法大なる大きさを有し、ラジエタ10の周りを取り囲んだ状態で、自動車の前後方向に延びるように配置されている。   First, FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a seal structure between vehicle parts according to the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 denotes a radiator installed in an engine room of an automobile. Around the radiator 10, a shroud 12, which is a resin-made rectangular frame and is a first vehicle component, is provided. It is fixed to a radiator support (not shown). The shroud 12 has a width (a dimension in the vertical direction in FIG. 1) and a height (a dimension in a direction perpendicular to the paper surface in FIG. 1) larger than the width and the height of the radiator 10 by a predetermined dimension. The radiator 10 is disposed so as to extend in the front-rear direction of the automobile while surrounding the radiator 10.

また、ラジエタ10よりも自動車の前方側(図1の左側)には、第二の車両用部品としての導風板14が、図示しないバンパリーンホースメント等に固定されて、自動車の前後方向に延びるように配置されている。この導風板14は、弾性変形可能な樹脂製の矩形枠体からなっており、その幅(図1の上下方向の寸法)及び高さ(図1の紙面に垂直な方向の寸法)が、シュラウド12の幅及び高さと、それぞれ同一寸法とされている。そして、かかる導風板14は、自動車の前方から後方に向かって、エンジンルーム内に挿入されて、バンパリーンホースメントに固定されている(図2参照)。なお、以下からは、便宜上、自動車の前後方向(図1の左右方向)を、単に、前後方向と言う。   In addition, a wind guide plate 14 as a second vehicle component is fixed to a bumper reinforcement or the like (not shown) on the front side (left side in FIG. 1) of the automobile from the radiator 10 so as to extend in the longitudinal direction of the automobile. It is arranged to extend. The wind guide plate 14 is made of a resin-made rectangular frame that can be elastically deformed, and has a width (a dimension in the vertical direction in FIG. 1) and a height (a dimension in a direction perpendicular to the paper surface in FIG. 1). The width and height of the shroud 12 are the same as each other. The air guide plate 14 is inserted into the engine room from the front to the rear of the automobile and is fixed to the bumper reinforcement (see FIG. 2). In the following, for the sake of convenience, the front-rear direction of the automobile (the left-right direction in FIG. 1) is simply referred to as the front-rear direction.

上記のようにしてエンジンルーム内に固定されたシュラウド12と導風板14は、前者の前端部と後者の後端部とが、前後方向において互いに近接して、配置されている。そして、そのようなシュラウド12の前端部と導風板14の後端部との間に、設計隙としての間隙16が形成されている。   The shroud 12 and the air guide plate 14 fixed in the engine room as described above are arranged such that the former front end portion and the latter rear end portion are close to each other in the front-rear direction. A gap 16 as a design gap is formed between the front end portion of the shroud 12 and the rear end portion of the air guide plate 14.

かくして、フロントグリル(図示せず)からエンジンルーム内に流入する風が、導風板14によって、ラジエタ10の前面まで導かれ、そして、このラジエタ10の前面まで導かれた風が、シュラウド12にて、後方側に向かって更に導かれるようになっている。また、自動車の走行時の入力振動等によるシュラウド12と導風板14との相対変位が、それらシュラウド12と導風板14との間に形成された間隙16にて吸収されて、シュラウド12の前端部と導風板14の後端部との接触防止が図られている。かかる間隙16は、矩形枠状の導風板14の内側に向かって、かかる導風板14内での風の流通方向と直角な方向において開口している。そして、ここでは、そのような間隙16が、シュラウド12の前端部と導風板14の後端部との間に形成された、従来には見られない特別な構造を有するシール部18によって、シールされるようになっているのである。   Thus, the wind flowing into the engine room from the front grill (not shown) is guided to the front surface of the radiator 10 by the air guide plate 14, and the wind guided to the front surface of the radiator 10 is sent to the shroud 12. Thus, it is further guided toward the rear side. Further, the relative displacement between the shroud 12 and the wind guide plate 14 due to input vibration or the like during driving of the automobile is absorbed by the gap 16 formed between the shroud 12 and the wind guide plate 14, and the shroud 12 Contact between the front end portion and the rear end portion of the air guide plate 14 is prevented. The gap 16 opens toward the inner side of the rectangular frame-shaped air guide plate 14 in a direction perpendicular to the wind flow direction in the air guide plate 14. And here, such a gap 16 is formed between the front end portion of the shroud 12 and the rear end portion of the air guide plate 14 by a seal portion 18 having a special structure not seen in the past. It is designed to be sealed.

より詳細には、シュラウド12の前端部には、その前端縁よりも所定寸法だけ後方側に偏寄した部位に、外方に向かって所定高さで突出し且つ周方向に連続して延びる外フランジ部20が、一体成形により形成されている。そして、このシュラウド12の前端部における外フランジ部20の形成部位よりも前側の部位が、矩形の筒状形態を有する第一筒状リブ22とされている。   More specifically, at the front end portion of the shroud 12, an outer flange that protrudes outward at a predetermined height and continuously extends in the circumferential direction at a portion that is biased rearward by a predetermined dimension from the front end edge thereof. The part 20 is formed by integral molding. And the site | part ahead of the formation site | part of the outer flange part 20 in the front-end part of this shroud 12 is made into the 1st cylindrical rib 22 which has a rectangular cylindrical form.

また、外フランジ部20の突出先端部には、第二筒状リブ24が、一体成形により突設されている。この第二筒状リブ24は、外フランジ部20の突出先端部において前方に向かって突出し、且つかかる突出先端部の周方向に連続して延びる矩形の筒状形態を有している。かかる第二筒状リブ24は、外フランジ部20からの突出高さが、第一筒状リブ22の高さと略同一の寸法とされている。   Moreover, the 2nd cylindrical rib 24 protrudes at the protrusion front-end | tip part of the outer flange part 20 by integral molding. The second cylindrical rib 24 has a rectangular cylindrical shape that protrudes forward at the protruding tip portion of the outer flange portion 20 and continuously extends in the circumferential direction of the protruding tip portion. The projecting height from the outer flange portion 20 of the second cylindrical rib 24 is approximately the same as the height of the first cylindrical rib 22.

換言すれば、シュラウド12の前端部には、第一筒状リブ22と第二筒状リブ24とが、同軸的に配置されている。第一筒状リブ22は、矩形平板状の第一の板状リブ23の4個のもの(図1には3個のみを示す)が、前後方向に延びる矩形の筒体形状を呈するように、一体的に組み合わされてなっている。そして、かかる第一筒状リブ22の先端にて、間隙16の後側周縁部が構成されている。一方、第二筒状リブ24は、第一の板状リブ23と前後方向長さが略同じで且つ第一の板状リブ23よりも幅が大きな矩形平板状の第二の板状リブ25の4個のもの(図1には3個のみを示す)が、前後方向に延びる矩形の筒体形状を呈するように、一体的に組み合わされてなっている。   In other words, the first cylindrical rib 22 and the second cylindrical rib 24 are coaxially arranged at the front end portion of the shroud 12. The first cylindrical ribs 22 have four rectangular plate-like first plate-like ribs 23 (only three are shown in FIG. 1) so as to exhibit a rectangular cylindrical shape extending in the front-rear direction. , Are combined together. The rear peripheral edge of the gap 16 is formed at the tip of the first cylindrical rib 22. On the other hand, the second cylindrical rib 24 is a rectangular plate-like second plate-shaped rib 25 having substantially the same length in the front-rear direction as the first plate-shaped rib 23 and having a larger width than the first plate-shaped rib 23. 4 (only three are shown in FIG. 1) are integrally combined so as to exhibit a rectangular cylindrical shape extending in the front-rear direction.

かくして、シュラウド12の前端部に、第一筒状リブ22と第二筒状リブ24とが、後者を外側に位置させた状態で、同軸上で平行に延びるように、且つ前後方向に対して直角な方向において互いに一定の距離を隔てて対向配置されている。これにより、第一筒状リブ22の各第一の板状リブ23の外側側面が、それぞれ、第二筒状リブ24の各第二の板状リブ25の内側側面と各々対向する第一対向面26とされている一方、各第二の板状リブ25の内側側面が、それぞれ、各第一の板状リブ23の外側側面と各々対向する第二対向面28とされている。更に、それら各第一の板状リブ23の第一対向面26と各第二の板状リブ25の第二対向面28との間に、前方に向かって開口して、周方向に延びる環状空間29が、シュラウド12の前端部を外側から取り囲むように形成されている。   Thus, at the front end of the shroud 12, the first cylindrical rib 22 and the second cylindrical rib 24 extend coaxially in parallel with the latter positioned on the outside, and with respect to the front-rear direction. They are opposed to each other at a certain distance from each other in a perpendicular direction. Thereby, the 1st opposing which the outer side surface of each 1st plate-shaped rib 23 of the 1st cylindrical rib 22 respectively opposes the inner side surface of each 2nd plate-shaped rib 25 of the 2nd cylindrical rib 24, respectively. On the other hand, the inner side surface of each second plate-like rib 25 is a second opposing surface 28 that faces the outer side surface of each first plate-like rib 23. Further, between the first opposing surface 26 of each of the first plate-like ribs 23 and the second opposing surface 28 of each of the second plate-like ribs 25, an annular shape that opens forward and extends in the circumferential direction. A space 29 is formed so as to surround the front end portion of the shroud 12 from the outside.

そして、そのような第一筒状リブ22と第二筒状リブ24とが、それぞれの後端部同士において(各第一の板状リブ23の後端部と各第二の板状リブ25の後端部同士において)、シュラウド12に一体成形された外フランジ部20を介して一体的に連結されている。以て、第一筒状リブ22と第二筒状リブ24とが、シュラウド12の前端部に対して一体成形されているのである。   And such a 1st cylindrical rib 22 and the 2nd cylindrical rib 24 are in each rear end part (the rear end part of each 1st plate-shaped rib 23, and each 2nd plate-shaped rib 25). Are connected together via an outer flange portion 20 formed integrally with the shroud 12. Thus, the first cylindrical rib 22 and the second cylindrical rib 24 are integrally formed with the front end portion of the shroud 12.

一方、導風板14の後端部には、筒状延出部30が、一体成形により形成されている。この筒状延出部30は、矩形の筒体形状を呈する導風板14の後端縁から外方に向かって所定長さで延び出し(所定高さで突出し)、且つ周方向に連続して延びるフランジ状延出部32と、このフランジ状延出部32の延出先端側の4個の辺縁部のそれぞれから、後方に向かって所定長さで延び出す(所定高さで突出する)板状延出部34の4個のもの(図1には3個のもののみを示す)とを一体的に有し、全体として、矩形の筒状形態を呈している。   On the other hand, a cylindrical extension 30 is formed at the rear end of the air guide plate 14 by integral molding. The cylindrical extending portion 30 extends outward from the rear end edge of the air guide plate 14 having a rectangular cylindrical shape by a predetermined length (projects at a predetermined height), and continues in the circumferential direction. The flange-like extension part 32 that extends and the four edge parts on the extension tip side of the flange-like extension part 32 extend rearward by a predetermined length (project at a predetermined height). 4) The plate-like extending portions 34 (only three are shown in FIG. 1) are integrally formed, and as a whole, a rectangular tubular shape is exhibited.

かかる筒状延出部30においては、フランジ状延出部32の導風板14からの延出長さ(突出高さ)が、前記外フランジ部20のシュラウド12からの突出高さよりも所定寸法小さくされており、また、各板状延出部34のフランジ状延出部32からの延出長さ(突出高さ)が、前記間隙16の幅よりも大きく、且つ間隙16の幅と第一筒状リブ22(第一の板状リブ23)や第二筒状リブ24(第二の板状リブ25)の高さとの合計寸法よりも所定寸法だけ小さくされている。更に、各板状延出部34の厚さが、第一筒状リブ22の第一対向面26と第二筒状リブ24の第二対向面28との間の距離よりも十分に小さくされている。このような筒状延出部30の各板状延出部34が、間隙16を覆い、且つ間隙16を越えて、シュラウド12の前端部側に延び出している。そして、かかる筒状延出部34の先端側部分が、シュラウド12の前端部における第一筒状リブ22と第二筒状リブ24との間に形成された前記環状空間29内に、それの前側開口部を通じて突入せしめられている。このことから明らかなように、本実施形態では、各板状延出部34の基部側部分とフランジ状延出部32とにて、カバー部が構成されている。   In such a cylindrical extension portion 30, the extension length (projection height) of the flange-like extension portion 32 from the air guide plate 14 is a predetermined dimension than the projection height of the outer flange portion 20 from the shroud 12. Further, the extension length (projection height) of each plate-like extension portion 34 from the flange-like extension portion 32 is larger than the width of the gap 16 and the width of the gap 16 It is made smaller by a predetermined dimension than the total dimension with the height of one cylindrical rib 22 (first plate-like rib 23) and second cylindrical rib 24 (second plate-like rib 25). Further, the thickness of each plate-like extension 34 is made sufficiently smaller than the distance between the first opposing surface 26 of the first cylindrical rib 22 and the second opposing surface 28 of the second cylindrical rib 24. ing. Each plate-like extension portion 34 of the cylindrical extension portion 30 covers the gap 16 and extends to the front end portion side of the shroud 12 beyond the gap 16. And the front end side part of this cylindrical extension part 34 is in the said annular space 29 formed between the 1st cylindrical rib 22 and the 2nd cylindrical rib 24 in the front-end part of the shroud 12, It's It rushes through the front opening. As is clear from this, in the present embodiment, a cover portion is constituted by the base side portion of each plate-like extension portion 34 and the flange-like extension portion 32.

また、かかる環状空間29内に突入した各板状延出部34の先端部位には、第一の板状傾斜突部としての内側板状傾斜突部36と、第二の板状傾斜突部としての外側板状傾斜突部38とが、それぞれ一体成形されている。   Further, an inner plate-like inclined protrusion 36 as a first plate-like inclined protrusion and a second plate-like inclined protrusion at the tip portion of each plate-like extending portion 34 that has entered the annular space 29. The outer plate-like inclined protrusions 38 are integrally formed with each other.

内側板状傾斜突部36は、各板状延出部34の先端部位から、各板状延出部34の環状空間29内への突入方向とは反対の前側方向に向かって、筒状延出部30の内側に傾斜して、突出する傾斜板形態を呈し、各板状延出部34と略同一長さを有している。一方、外側板状傾斜突部38は、各板状延出部34の先端部位から、各板状延出部34の環状空間29内への突入方向とは反対の前側方向に向かって、筒状延出部30の外側に傾斜して、突出する傾斜板形態を呈し、各板状延出部34と略同一長さを有している。また、それら内側及び外側板状傾斜突部36,38は、何れも、各板状延出部34よりも十分に薄肉とされており、それによって、容易に弾性変形可能とされている。そして、そのような内側及び外側板状傾斜突部36,38にあっては、その弾性変形に基づいて、各板状延出部34の先端部位に対する傾斜角度(内側板状傾斜突部36と各板状延出部34とのなす角、及び外側板状傾斜突部38と各板状延出部34とのなす角):α,βが、容易に変化し得るようになっている。   The inner plate-like inclined protrusions 36 are cylindrically extended from the front end portions of the respective plate-like extension portions 34 toward the front direction opposite to the direction in which the respective plate-like extension portions 34 enter the annular space 29. It has an inclined plate shape that is inclined and protrudes to the inside of the protruding portion 30, and has substantially the same length as each plate-like extending portion 34. On the other hand, the outer plate-like inclined projections 38 are formed from the tip portions of the respective plate-like extension portions 34 toward the front side opposite to the direction in which each plate-like extension portion 34 enters the annular space 29. The plate-like extending portion 30 is inclined to the outside and has a protruding inclined plate shape and has substantially the same length as each plate-like extending portion 34. Further, both the inner and outer plate-like inclined protrusions 36 and 38 are sufficiently thinner than the respective plate-like extending portions 34, thereby being easily elastically deformable. In such inner and outer plate-like inclined projections 36 and 38, an inclination angle with respect to the tip portion of each plate-like extending portion 34 (inner plate-like inclined projection 36 and 38) is based on the elastic deformation. Α and β can be easily changed. Angles formed by the respective plate-like extending portions 34 and angles formed by the outer plate-shaped inclined protrusions 38 and the respective plate-like extending portions 34).

なお、本実施形態では、図2に示されるように、筒状延出部30の各板状延出部34の先端側部分が第一筒状リブ22と第二筒状リブ24との間の環状空間29内に突入せしめられる前において、内側板状傾斜突部36と外側板状傾斜突部38とが、各板状延出部34の先端部位から、その内側と外側とに向かって、各板状延出部34に対して略直角の角度で突出している。また、それら内側板状傾斜突部36の先端から外側板状傾斜突部38の先端までの距離:Lが、第一筒状リブ22(第一の板状リブ23)の第一対向面26から第二筒状リブ24(第二の板状リブ25)の第二対向面28との間の距離:Mよりも所定寸法大きく設定されている。このため、図2に二点鎖線で示されるように、内側板状傾斜突部36と外側板状傾斜突部38とを一体的に有する各板状延出部34が、第一筒状リブ22と第二筒状リブ24との間の環状空間29内に突入せしめられる際に、内側板状傾斜突部36と外側板状傾斜突部38とが、各板状延出部34の環状空間29内への突入方向とは反対方向に向かって傾斜するように弾性変形せしめられるようになっている。   In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the tip side portion of each plate-like extension portion 34 of the cylindrical extension portion 30 is between the first cylindrical rib 22 and the second cylindrical rib 24. The inner plate-like inclined protrusions 36 and the outer plate-like inclined protrusions 38 are directed from the tip end portions of the respective plate-like extending portions 34 toward the inside and outside thereof. , And projecting at an angle substantially perpendicular to each plate-like extension 34. In addition, the distance L from the tip of the inner plate-shaped inclined protrusion 36 to the tip of the outer plate-shaped inclined protrusion 38 is the first facing surface 26 of the first cylindrical rib 22 (first plate-shaped rib 23). The distance from the second opposing surface 28 of the second cylindrical rib 24 (second plate-like rib 25) is set to be a predetermined dimension larger than M. Therefore, as indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 2, each plate-like extending portion 34 integrally including the inner plate-like inclined protrusion 36 and the outer plate-like inclined protrusion 38 is formed by the first cylindrical rib. The inner plate-like inclined protrusions 36 and the outer plate-like inclined protrusions 38 are formed in the annular shape of each plate-like extension portion 34 when being inserted into the annular space 29 between the second cylindrical rib 24 and the second cylindrical rib 24. It is elastically deformed so as to incline in the direction opposite to the direction of entry into the space 29.

かくして、本実施形態では、図1に示されるように、各板状延出部34が、第一筒状リブ22と第二筒状リブ24との間の環状空間29内に圧入されており、また、そのような圧入状態下で、内側板状傾斜突部36の先端部位が、第一筒状リブ22における各第一の板状リブ23の第一対向面26に対して摺動可能に圧接されている一方、外側板状傾斜突部38の先端部位が、第二筒状リブ24における各第二の板状リブ25の第二対向面28に対して摺動可能に圧接されている。これにより、シュラウド12と導風板14とが相互に連結されている。また、それと共に、環状空間29の前方側への開口部が、内側及び外側板状傾斜突部36,38にて閉塞されている。そうして、シュラウド12の前端部の外側に、筒状延出部30のフランジ状延出部32と各板状延出部34と各内側板状傾斜突部36と各第一の板状リブ23の先端部からなる壁部にて囲まれた閉鎖空間40が、導風板14とシュラウド12との間に形成された間隙16のみに連通して、形成されている。なお、これらのことから明らかなように、ここでは、第一筒状リブ22と第二筒状リブ24と外フランジ部20とにて、連結部が構成されている。   Thus, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, each plate-like extension portion 34 is press-fitted into the annular space 29 between the first cylindrical rib 22 and the second cylindrical rib 24. In addition, under such a press-fitted state, the tip portion of the inner plate-shaped inclined protrusion 36 can slide with respect to the first facing surface 26 of each first plate-shaped rib 23 in the first cylindrical rib 22. On the other hand, the tip portion of the outer plate-shaped inclined protrusion 38 is slidably pressed against the second opposing surface 28 of each second plate-shaped rib 25 in the second cylindrical rib 24. Yes. Thereby, the shroud 12 and the wind guide plate 14 are mutually connected. At the same time, the opening to the front side of the annular space 29 is closed by the inner and outer plate-like inclined protrusions 36 and 38. Then, on the outer side of the front end portion of the shroud 12, the flange-like extension portion 32 of the cylindrical extension portion 30, each plate-like extension portion 34, each inner plate-like inclined protrusion 36, and each first plate-like shape. A closed space 40 surrounded by a wall portion composed of the tip of the rib 23 is formed so as to communicate only with the gap 16 formed between the air guide plate 14 and the shroud 12. As is clear from these facts, the first cylindrical rib 22, the second cylindrical rib 24, and the outer flange portion 20 constitute a connecting portion here.

このように、本実施形態においては、シュラウド12と導風板14との間に、シール部18が、第一及び第二の筒状リブ22,24と筒状延出部30とにて形成されており、以て、導風板14にてラジエタ10に向かって導かれた風が、間隙16内に入り込んでも、かかる間隙16を通じての外部への風抜けが防止されて、導風板14とシュラウド12との間のシール性が、確保され得るようになっている。   As described above, in the present embodiment, the seal portion 18 is formed by the first and second cylindrical ribs 22 and 24 and the cylindrical extension portion 30 between the shroud 12 and the air guide plate 14. Therefore, even if the wind guided toward the radiator 10 by the air guide plate 14 enters the gap 16, the outside air flow through the gap 16 is prevented, and the air guide plate 14. And the shroud 12 can be secured.

そして、かかるシール部18が設けられた本実施形態では、筒状延出部30の各板状延出部34に一体形成された内側及び外側板状傾斜突部36,38の先端部位が、第一の筒状リブ22の第一対向面26と第二の筒状リブ24の第二対向面28とにそれぞれ圧接された状態で摺動可能とされている。それ故、例えば、自動車の走行時の入力振動により、導風板14とシュラウド12とが前後方向に相対変位して、図3に二点鎖線で示されるように、導風板14とシュラウド12とが前後方向に互いに離間せしめられたときには、内側及び外側板状傾斜突部36,38の先端部位が、第一の筒状リブ22の第一対向面26と第二の筒状リブ24の第二対向面28とに対して圧接状態で摺動せしめられる。そのため、そのような導風板14とシュラウド12との前後方向での相対変位によって、間隙16のシール性が損なわれるようなことが防止されるようになっている。   In the present embodiment in which such a seal portion 18 is provided, the tip portions of the inner and outer plate-like inclined protrusions 36 and 38 integrally formed with each plate-like extension portion 34 of the cylindrical extension portion 30 are as follows. The first cylindrical rib 22 is slidable in a state where it is in pressure contact with the first opposing surface 26 of the second cylindrical rib 22 and the second opposing surface 28 of the second cylindrical rib 24. Therefore, for example, the wind guide plate 14 and the shroud 12 are relatively displaced in the front-rear direction due to input vibration during driving of the automobile, and the wind guide plate 14 and the shroud 12 are indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. Are spaced apart from each other in the front-rear direction, the tip portions of the inner and outer plate-like inclined projections 36, 38 are located on the first opposing surface 26 of the first cylindrical rib 22 and the second cylindrical rib 24. It is slid in a pressure contact state with the second facing surface 28. Therefore, the sealing performance of the gap 16 is prevented from being impaired by the relative displacement between the air guide plate 14 and the shroud 12 in the front-rear direction.

また、自動車の走行時の入力振動により、導風板14とシュラウド12とが、左右方向(車幅方向)や上下方向に相対変位したときには内側板状傾斜突部36と外側板状傾斜突部38とが弾性変形せしめられる。   Further, when the wind guide plate 14 and the shroud 12 are relatively displaced in the left-right direction (vehicle width direction) or the up-down direction due to input vibration during driving of the automobile, the inner plate-shaped inclined protrusion 36 and the outer plate-shaped inclined protrusion 38 is elastically deformed.

具体的には、例えば、図3に一点鎖線で示されるように、シュラウド12が、導風板14に対して左方向(図3中、下方)に相対変位したときには、シュラウド12の右側(図3中、上側)に位置する第二の板状リブ25が、導風板14の右側(図3中、上側)に位置する板状延出部34に接近し、それにより、かかる板状延出部34に一体形成された外側板状傾斜突部38が、板状延出部34に対する傾斜角度:βを小さくするように弾性変形せしめられる。その一方で、シュラウド12の右側に位置する第一の板状リブ23が、導風板14の右側に位置する板状延出部34から離間し、それにより、かかる板状延出部34に一体形成された内側板状傾斜突部36が、板状延出部34に対する傾斜角度:αを大きくするように弾性変形せしめられる。そのため、シュラウド12が、導風板14に対して左方向に相対変位しても、内側板状傾斜突部36の第一の板状リブ23に対する圧接状態と、外側板状傾斜突部38の第二の板状リブ25に対する圧接状態とが、何れも十分に維持され得る。以て、そのような相対変位によって、間隙16のシール性が損なわれることがない。   Specifically, for example, as shown by a one-dot chain line in FIG. 3, when the shroud 12 is relatively displaced leftward (downward in FIG. 3) with respect to the air guide plate 14, the right side of the shroud 12 (see FIG. 3). 3, the second plate-like rib 25 located on the upper side) approaches the plate-like extension portion 34 located on the right side (upper side in FIG. 3) of the air guide plate 14, and thus the plate-like extension. The outer plate-shaped inclined protrusion 38 integrally formed with the protruding portion 34 is elastically deformed so as to reduce the inclination angle β with respect to the plate-shaped extending portion 34. On the other hand, the first plate-like rib 23 located on the right side of the shroud 12 is separated from the plate-like extension portion 34 located on the right side of the air guide plate 14. The integrally formed inner plate-like inclined protrusion 36 is elastically deformed so as to increase the inclination angle α with respect to the plate-like extending portion 34. Therefore, even when the shroud 12 is relatively displaced leftward with respect to the air guide plate 14, the inner plate-shaped inclined protrusion 36 is pressed against the first plate-shaped rib 23, and the outer plate-shaped inclined protrusion 38 is Any pressure contact state with respect to the second plate-like rib 25 can be sufficiently maintained. Therefore, the sealing performance of the gap 16 is not impaired by such relative displacement.

それと同様に、導風板14とシュラウド12とが、右方向や上下方向に相対変位したときにも、板状延出部34に対する内側板状傾斜突部36及び外側板状傾斜突部38の傾斜角度:α,βの大きさが変化するように、内側板状傾斜突部36と外側板状傾斜突部38とが弾性変形せしめられて、それら内側及び外側板状傾斜突部36,38の第一及び第二の板状リブ23,25に対する圧接状態が維持される。そうして、導風板14とシュラウド12の右方向や上下方向への相対変位により、間隙16のシール性が損なわれるようなことが、有利に防止され得るようになっている。   Similarly, when the air guide plate 14 and the shroud 12 are relatively displaced in the right direction or the up-down direction, the inner plate-like inclined protrusions 36 and the outer plate-like inclined protrusions 38 with respect to the plate-like extension portion 34. Inclination angles: The inner plate-like inclined protrusions 36 and the outer plate-like inclined protrusions 38 are elastically deformed so that the sizes of α and β change, and the inner and outer plate-like inclined protrusions 36 and 38 are elastically deformed. The pressure contact state with respect to the first and second plate-like ribs 23 and 25 is maintained. Thus, it is possible to advantageously prevent the sealing performance of the gap 16 from being impaired due to the relative displacement of the air guide plate 14 and the shroud 12 in the right direction or the vertical direction.

従って、かくの如き本実施形態のシール構造によれば、導風板14とシュラウド12との間に形成される間隙16において、設計隙としての機能を十分に発揮させつつ、それら導風板14とシュラウド12との間のシール性が安定的に確保され得る。そして、その結果として、導風板14とシュラウド12との接触に起因した数々の問題が生ぜしめられることなく、ラジエタ10に向かって導風板14内を導かれる風量が効果的に増大され、以て、ラジエタ10の冷却効率が、極めて有利に高められ得るのである。   Therefore, according to the seal structure of the present embodiment as described above, the air guide plate 14 is sufficiently exerted as a design gap in the gap 16 formed between the air guide plate 14 and the shroud 12. And the shroud 12 can be stably secured. As a result, the amount of air guided into the air guide plate 14 toward the radiator 10 is effectively increased without causing various problems due to the contact between the air guide plate 14 and the shroud 12. Therefore, the cooling efficiency of the radiator 10 can be increased very advantageously.

また、本実施形態では、シール部18を構成する筒状延出部30や、第一及び第二筒状リブ22,24、外フランジ部20が、導風板14やシュラウド12に対して、それぞれ一体成形されており、そして、筒状延出部30の各板状延出部34を第一及び第二筒状リブ22,24のそれぞれの第一及び第二対向面26,28間に圧入するだけの簡単な作業により、シール部18が形成されるようになっている。しかも、かかる各板状延出部34の圧入方向が、導風板14の自動車への組付方向と同一の方向とされている。それ故、シュラウド12と導風板14とを自動車に組み付けると同時に、簡単な圧入作業を行うだけで、間隙16をシールすることが出来る。従って、シュラウド12と導風板14の自動車への組付作業とは別に、それらの間に形成される間隙16をシールするための特別な作業を行う必要が有利に解消されて、かかるシール作業の簡略化や効率化が効果的に達成され得る。   Moreover, in this embodiment, the cylindrical extension part 30 which comprises the seal part 18, 1st and 2nd cylindrical ribs 22 and 24, and the outer flange part 20 are with respect to the baffle plate 14 and the shroud 12. Each of the plate-like extension portions 34 of the cylindrical extension portion 30 is formed between the first and second opposing surfaces 26, 28 of the first and second cylindrical ribs 22, 24, respectively. The seal portion 18 is formed by a simple operation simply by press-fitting. Moreover, the press-fitting direction of each plate-like extension portion 34 is the same as the direction in which the air guide plate 14 is assembled to the automobile. Therefore, the gap 16 can be sealed only by performing a simple press-fitting operation at the same time that the shroud 12 and the air guide plate 14 are assembled to the automobile. Accordingly, in addition to the work of assembling the shroud 12 and the air guide plate 14 to the automobile, the necessity of performing a special work for sealing the gap 16 formed between them is advantageously eliminated, and such a sealing work. Simplification and efficiency can be effectively achieved.

さらに、本実施形態においては、各第一及び第二筒状リブ22,24の第一及び第二対向面26,28間への各板状延出部34の圧入によって、各板状延出部34に一体形成された外側及び内側板状傾斜突部36,38の先端部位のみが、第一及び第二対向面26,28に対して摺動可能に圧接されている。そのため、例えば、各板状延出部34の板面の全面が、第一及び第二対向面26,28に対して摺動可能に圧接される場合に比して、第一及び第二対向面26,28間への各板状延出部34の圧入時に生ずる摺動抵抗が有利に小さくされ得る。これによっても、間隙16のシール作業の簡略化や効率化が、有利に実現され得ることとなる。   Furthermore, in this embodiment, each plate-like extension is achieved by press-fitting each plate-like extension portion 34 between the first and second opposing surfaces 26, 28 of each first and second cylindrical ribs 22, 24. Only the tip portions of the outer and inner plate-like inclined protrusions 36 and 38 formed integrally with the portion 34 are slidably pressed against the first and second opposing surfaces 26 and 28. Therefore, for example, compared with the case where the entire plate surface of each plate-like extension portion 34 is slidably pressed against the first and second opposed surfaces 26 and 28, the first and second opposed surfaces are opposed to each other. The sliding resistance generated when the plate-like extension portions 34 are press-fitted between the surfaces 26 and 28 can be advantageously reduced. Also by this, simplification and efficiency improvement of the sealing operation of the gap 16 can be advantageously realized.

また、本実施形態では、各第一及び第二の板状リブ23,25の第一及び第二対向面26,28間への各板状延出部34の圧入前の状態で、内側板状傾斜突部36の先端から外側板状傾斜突部38の先端までの距離:Lが、第一及び第二対向面26,28間の距離:Mよりも所定寸法大きく設定されており、第一及び第二対向面26,28間への板状延出部34の圧入により、内側及び外側板状傾斜突部36,38が傾斜するように弾性変形せしめられて、第一及び第二対向面26,28に圧接されるようになっている。それによって、第一及び第二対向面26,28間への板状延出部34の圧入状態下で、内側及び外側板状傾斜突部36,38が、第一及び第二対向面26,28に対して、十分な圧接量をもって、確実に圧接せしめられ得るようになる。そして、その結果、間隙16のシール性が、より十分に且つ安定的に確保され得る。   In the present embodiment, the inner plate is in a state before press-fitting each plate-like extension portion 34 between the first and second opposing surfaces 26, 28 of each first and second plate-like ribs 23, 25. The distance L from the tip of the inclined slope 36 to the tip of the outer plate-like slope 38 is set to be a predetermined dimension larger than the distance M between the first and second opposing surfaces 26 and 28, and By press-fitting the plate-like extension portion 34 between the first and second opposing surfaces 26, 28, the inner and outer plate-like inclined projections 36, 38 are elastically deformed so as to incline, and the first and second opposing surfaces The surfaces 26 and 28 are pressed against each other. Accordingly, the inner and outer plate-like inclined protrusions 36 and 38 are connected to the first and second opposing surfaces 26, 38 under the press-fitted state of the plate-like extension portion 34 between the first and second opposing surfaces 26, 28. 28 can be reliably pressed with a sufficient pressing amount. As a result, the sealing performance of the gap 16 can be ensured more sufficiently and stably.

加えて、本実施形態では、間隙16の形状とは無関係に、筒状延出部30の各板状延出部34を第一及び第二筒状リブ22,24のそれぞれの第一及び第二対向面26,28間に圧入することによって、間隙16がシールされるようになっている。それ故、間隙16の形状が複雑であっても、それに起因して、シール性が低下したり不安定なものとなることが、有利に皆無ならしめられ得る。   In addition, in the present embodiment, regardless of the shape of the gap 16, each plate-like extension portion 34 of the cylindrical extension portion 30 is replaced with each of the first and second cylindrical ribs 22, 24. The gap 16 is sealed by press-fitting between the two opposing surfaces 26 and 28. Therefore, even if the shape of the gap 16 is complicated, it can be advantageously eliminated that the sealing performance deteriorates or becomes unstable.

ところで、前記第一の実施形態では、筒状延出部30の各板状延出部34の先端部位に対して、内側板状傾斜突部36と外側板状傾斜突部38とが一体成形されていたが、それら内側及び外側板状傾斜突部36,38のうちの何れか一方のみを、各板状延出部34の先端部位に一体成形しても良い。例えば、図4に示されるように、各板状延出部34の先端部位に対して、内側板状傾斜突部36のみを一体成形するようにしても、何等差し支えない。この場合には、内側板状傾斜突部36の先端部位が、第一の板状リブ23の第一対向面26に対して摺動可能に圧接されると共に、各板状延出部34の外側側面が、第二の板状リブ25の第二対向面28に対して摺動可能に圧接される。それによって、間隙16がシールされるように構成される。図示されてはいないものの、各板状延出部34の先端部位に対して、外側板状傾斜突部38のみを一体形成することも、勿論可能である。   By the way, in said 1st embodiment, the inner side plate-shaped inclination protrusion part 36 and the outer side plate-like inclination protrusion part 38 are integrally molded with respect to the front-end | tip part of each plate-like extension part 34 of the cylindrical extension part 30. FIG. However, only one of the inner and outer plate-like inclined protrusions 36 and 38 may be integrally formed at the tip portion of each plate-like extension portion 34. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, there is no problem even if only the inner plate-like inclined protrusion 36 is integrally formed with the tip portion of each plate-like extending portion 34. In this case, the distal end portion of the inner plate-shaped inclined protrusion 36 is slidably pressed against the first facing surface 26 of the first plate-shaped rib 23, and The outer side surface is slidably pressed against the second opposing surface 28 of the second plate-like rib 25. Thereby, the gap 16 is configured to be sealed. Although not shown in the drawing, it is of course possible to integrally form only the outer plate-like inclined protrusions 38 with respect to the tip portions of the respective plate-like extending portions 34.

また、前記第一の実施形態では、内側板状傾斜突部36と外側板状傾斜突部38の全体が、各板状延出部34よりも薄肉とされることで、容易に弾性変形可能とされていた。然るに、それら内側及び外側板状傾斜突部36,38の全体を各板状延出部34と同様な厚さとする場合にあっても、例えば、図5に示されるように、内側及び外側板状傾斜突部36,38における板状延出部34側の基端部にノッチ42を形成することにより、かかる基端部のみを薄肉として、内側及び外側板状傾斜突部36,38を容易に弾性変形可能とすることも出来る。   In the first embodiment, the entire inner plate-like inclined protrusion 36 and the outer plate-like inclined protrusion 38 are thinner than the respective plate-like extending portions 34, so that they can be easily elastically deformed. It was said. However, even when the entire inner and outer plate-like inclined protrusions 36 and 38 have the same thickness as the plate-like extending portions 34, for example, as shown in FIG. By forming a notch 42 at the base end portion on the plate-like extension portion 34 side of the slanted protrusions 36, 38, only the base end portion is made thin, and the inner and outer plate-like slant protrusions 36, 38 can be easily formed. It can also be made elastically deformable.

次に、図6には、前記第一の実施形態とはシール部18の構造が異なる別の実施形態が示されている。なお、この図6に示される実施形態と後述する図7乃至図10に示される更に別の幾つかの実施形態とに関しては、図1に示された実施形態と同様な構造とされた部材及び部位について、図1と同一の符号を付すことにより、それらの詳細な説明を省略する。   Next, FIG. 6 shows another embodiment in which the structure of the seal portion 18 is different from that of the first embodiment. In addition, regarding the embodiment shown in FIG. 6 and some other embodiments shown in FIGS. 7 to 10 which will be described later, members having the same structure as the embodiment shown in FIG. With respect to the portions, the same reference numerals as those in FIG.

すなわち、本実施形態においては、シュラウド12の前端縁部に、第一の板状リブ44が、矩形筒体形状を呈するシュラウド12の外側に向かって突出し且つ周方向に連続して延びる、外フランジ形態を有して、一体成形されている。また、この第一の板状リブ44の先端部に対して、筒状連結部46が、矩形の筒体形態をもって、前方に突出するように一体形成されている。この筒状連結部46は、間隙16の幅よりも大きな突出高さを有し、間隙16を覆い且つ間隙16を越えて前方に延び出している。また、かかる筒状連結部46の先端部には、第二の板状リブ48が、シュラウド12の内側に向かって突出し且つ周方向に連続して延びる、内フランジ形態を有して、一体形成されている。この第二の板状リブ48は、第一の板状リブ44のシュラウド12からの突出高さよりも小さな突出高さを有し、第一の板状リブ44に対して、前後方向において所定距離を隔てて対向配置されている。そして、かかる第二の板状リブ48に対する第一の板状リブ44の対向面が、第一対向面50とされている一方、第一の板状リブ44に対する第二の板状リブ48の対向面が、第二対向面52とされている。これらのことから明らかなように、本実施形態では、第一の板状リブ44と筒状連結部46と第二の板状リブ48とにて、連結部が構成されており、また、そのような連結部の全体にて、カバー部が構成されている。   In other words, in the present embodiment, the first flange plate 44 protrudes toward the outer side of the shroud 12 having a rectangular cylindrical shape and continuously extends in the circumferential direction at the front edge of the shroud 12. It has a shape and is integrally molded. In addition, a cylindrical connecting portion 46 is formed integrally with the distal end portion of the first plate-like rib 44 so as to protrude forward in the form of a rectangular cylindrical body. The cylindrical connecting portion 46 has a protruding height larger than the width of the gap 16, covers the gap 16, and extends forward beyond the gap 16. Further, a second plate-like rib 48 protrudes toward the inner side of the shroud 12 and continuously extends in the circumferential direction, and is integrally formed at the distal end portion of the cylindrical connecting portion 46. Has been. The second plate-like rib 48 has a projection height smaller than the projection height of the first plate-like rib 44 from the shroud 12, and is a predetermined distance in the front-rear direction with respect to the first plate-like rib 44. Are arranged opposite to each other. The opposing surface of the first plate-like rib 44 to the second plate-like rib 48 is a first opposing surface 50, while the second plate-like rib 48 is opposed to the first plate-like rib 44. The facing surface is a second facing surface 52. As is apparent from these, in the present embodiment, the first plate-like rib 44, the cylindrical connecting portion 46, and the second plate-like rib 48 constitute a connecting portion, and the The cover part is comprised in the whole of such a connection part.

一方、導風板14の後端縁部には、矩形筒体形状を呈する導風板14の外側に向かって突出し且つ周方向に連続して延びる、外フランジ形態を呈する板状延出部54が一体形成されている。この板状延出部54は、シュラウド12に設けられた第一及び第二の板状リブ44,48の高さよりも所定寸法低い高さを有している。また、かかる板状延出部54の先端部位には、第一の板状傾斜突部56と第二の板状傾斜突部58とが、板状延出部54よりも薄い肉厚を有して、容易に弾性変形可能な状態で、それぞれ一体成形されている。   On the other hand, at the rear end edge of the air guide plate 14, a plate-like extension portion 54 having an outer flange shape that protrudes toward the outside of the air guide plate 14 having a rectangular cylindrical shape and continuously extends in the circumferential direction. Are integrally formed. The plate-like extension portion 54 has a height that is a predetermined dimension lower than the height of the first and second plate-like ribs 44 and 48 provided in the shroud 12. Further, the first plate-like inclined protrusion 56 and the second plate-like inclined protrusion 58 have a thinner wall thickness than the plate-like extending portion 54 at the tip portion of the plate-like extending portion 54. Each is integrally molded in a state where it can be easily elastically deformed.

そして、導風板14に設けられた板状延出部54が、第一の板状リブ44の第一対向面50と第二の板状リブ48の第二対向面52との間に圧入している。また、そのような圧入状態下で、板状延出部54の先端部位に設けられた第一の板状傾斜突部56が、板状延出部54の先端部位から、第一及び第二の板状リブ44,48間への板状延出部54の突入方向とは反対方向(矩形筒状の導風板14の内側方向)に向かって、第一の板状リブ44の第一対向面50側に傾斜して、突出していると共に、かかる第一の板状傾斜突部56の先端部位が、第一対向面50に摺動可能に圧接せしめられている。一方、第二の板状傾斜突部58は、板状延出部54の先端部位から、第一及び第二の板状リブ44,48間への板状延出部54の突入方向とは反対方向に向かって、第二の板状リブ48の第二対向面52側に傾斜して、突出していると共に、かかる第二の板状傾斜突部58の先端部位が、第二対向面52に摺動可能に圧接せしめられている。   And the plate-like extension part 54 provided in the air guide plate 14 is press-fitted between the first opposing surface 50 of the first plate-like rib 44 and the second opposing surface 52 of the second plate-like rib 48. is doing. Further, under such a press-fitted state, the first plate-like inclined protrusions 56 provided at the tip portion of the plate-like extension portion 54 are moved from the tip portion of the plate-like extension portion 54 to the first and second portions. Of the first plate-like ribs 44 in the direction opposite to the direction in which the plate-like extension portion 54 enters between the plate-like ribs 44, 48 (inward direction of the air guide plate 14 having a rectangular cylindrical shape). Inclined and protruded toward the facing surface 50, the tip portion of the first plate-like inclined protrusion 56 is slidably pressed against the first facing surface 50. On the other hand, the second plate-like inclined projection 58 is defined as the direction in which the plate-like extension portion 54 enters from the tip portion of the plate-like extension portion 54 between the first and second plate-like ribs 44 and 48. In the opposite direction, the second plate-like rib 48 is inclined and protrudes toward the second opposing surface 52, and the tip portion of the second plate-like inclined protrusion 58 is located at the second opposing surface 52. Are slidably pressed against each other.

かくして、シュラウド12と導風板14とが互いに連結されていると共に、シュラウド12の前端部の外側に、第一の板状リブ44と、板状延出部54と、この板状延出部54の先端部位に設けられた第一の板状傾斜突部56とからなる壁部にて囲まれた閉鎖空間40が、導風板14とシュラウド12との間に形成された間隙16のみに連通して、形成されている。そして、それにより、シュラウド12と導風板14との間に、シール部18が形成され、以て、導風板14にてラジエタ10に向かって導かれた風が、間隙16内に入り込んでも、かかる間隙16を通じての外部への風抜けが防止されて、導風板14とシュラウド12との間のシール性が、確保され得るようになっている。   Thus, the shroud 12 and the air guide plate 14 are connected to each other, and the first plate-like rib 44, the plate-like extension portion 54, and the plate-like extension portion are provided outside the front end portion of the shroud 12. The closed space 40 surrounded by the wall portion formed of the first plate-like inclined protrusion 56 provided at the tip portion of the 54 is only in the gap 16 formed between the air guide plate 14 and the shroud 12. It is formed in communication. As a result, a seal portion 18 is formed between the shroud 12 and the air guide plate 14, so that even if the wind guided toward the radiator 10 by the air guide plate 14 enters the gap 16. This prevents the air from passing through the gap 16 to the outside, and the sealing performance between the air guide plate 14 and the shroud 12 can be ensured.

このような構造とされた本実施形態にあっては、第一の板状リブ44と第二の板状リブ48との対向面間への板状延出部54の突入方向が前記第一の実施形態と異なるものの、シール部18が、前記第一の実施形態におけるシール部18と略同様な基本構造を有している。従って、かかる本実施形態においても、前記第一の実施形態と同様な作用・効果が有効に享受され得るのである。   In the present embodiment having such a structure, the direction in which the plate-like extension portion 54 enters between the opposed surfaces of the first plate-like rib 44 and the second plate-like rib 48 is the first one. Although different from the embodiment, the seal portion 18 has a basic structure substantially similar to the seal portion 18 in the first embodiment. Therefore, also in this embodiment, the same operations and effects as those of the first embodiment can be enjoyed effectively.

次に、図7には、前記第一及び第二の実施形態とはシール部18の構造が更に異なる他の実施形態が示されている。本実施形態においては、前記第一の実施形態と同様に、シュラウド12の前端部に、矩形平板状の第一の板状リブ23の4個のもの(図7には2個のみを示す)からなる第一筒状リブ22と、矩形平板状の第二の板状リブ25の4個のもの(図7には2個のみを示す)からなる第二筒状リブ24とが、同軸的に位置するように一体成形されている。また、導風板14の後端縁部には、筒状延出部30が、一体成形されている。この筒状延出部30は、外フランジ形態を呈するフランジ状延出部32と、かかるフランジ状延出部32から後方に一体的に延び出す、板状矩形平板状の板状延出部34の4個のもの(図7には2個のみを示す)とからなっている。   Next, FIG. 7 shows another embodiment in which the structure of the seal portion 18 is further different from the first and second embodiments. In the present embodiment, as in the first embodiment, there are four rectangular plate-like first plate-like ribs 23 at the front end of the shroud 12 (only two are shown in FIG. 7). And the second cylindrical rib 24 consisting of four rectangular plate-like second plate ribs 25 (only two are shown in FIG. 7) are coaxial. It is integrally molded so that it may be located in. A cylindrical extension 30 is integrally formed at the rear edge of the air guide plate 14. The cylindrical extension 30 includes a flange-like extension 32 having an outer flange shape, and a plate-like rectangular plate-like extension 34 extending integrally rearward from the flange-like extension 32. 4 (only two are shown in FIG. 7).

さらに、ここでは、各第二の板状リブ25の先端部位に、前方に向かって、第二の筒状リブ24の内側に傾斜して突出するシュラウド側板状傾斜突部60が、各第二の板状リブ25と略同一の厚さを有して、一体成形されている。また、筒状延出部30の各板状延出部34の先端部位には、後方に向かって、筒状延出部30の内側に傾斜して突出する導風板側板状傾斜突部62が、各板状延出部34と略同一の厚さを有して、一体成形されている。   Further, here, the shroud-side plate-like inclined protrusions 60 that protrude toward the inside of the second cylindrical rib 24 toward the front are provided at the tip portions of the respective second plate-like ribs 25. The plate-like ribs 25 have substantially the same thickness and are integrally formed. Further, at the tip portion of each plate-like extension portion 34 of the cylindrical extension portion 30, the wind guide plate-side plate-like inclined protrusion 62 that protrudes inward toward the inside of the cylindrical extension portion 30 toward the rear. However, it has the thickness substantially the same as each plate-shaped extension part 34, and is integrally molded.

そして、導風板14に設けられた筒状延出部30の各板状延出部34が、第一の板状リブ23の第一対向面26と第二の板状リブ25の第二対向面28との間に圧入せしめられている。また、そのような圧入状態下で、各板状延出部34の先端部位に設けられた導風板側板状傾斜突部62が、その先端部位において、第一対向面26に摺動可能に圧接せしめられている。一方、シュラウド側板状傾斜突部60は、その先端部において、各板状延出部34の外側側面に対して摺動可能に圧接せしめられている。   And each plate-like extension part 34 of the cylindrical extension part 30 provided in the wind guide plate 14 is the second opposing face 26 of the first plate-like rib 23 and the second plate-like rib 25. It is press-fitted between the facing surface 28. Further, under such a press-fitted state, the air guide plate side plate-like inclined protrusion 62 provided at the tip portion of each plate-like extension portion 34 is slidable on the first facing surface 26 at the tip portion. It is pressed. On the other hand, the shroud-side plate-like inclined protrusion 60 is slidably pressed against the outer side surface of each plate-like extension portion 34 at the tip portion.

かくして、シュラウド12と導風板14とが相互に連結されていると共に、シュラウド12の前端部の外側に、第一の板状リブ23と、筒状延出部30と、この筒状延出部30の各板状延出部34の先端部位に設けられた導風板側板状傾斜突部62とからなる壁部にて囲まれた閉鎖空間40が、導風板14とシュラウド12との間に形成された間隙16のみに連通して、形成されている。そして、それにより、シュラウド12と導風板14との間に、シール部18が形成され、以て、導風板14にてラジエタ10に向かって導かれた風が、間隙16内に入り込んでも、かかる間隙16を通じての外部への風抜けが防止されて、導風板14とシュラウド12との間のシール性が、確保され得るようになっている。   Thus, the shroud 12 and the air guide plate 14 are connected to each other, and the first plate-like rib 23, the cylindrical extension 30, and the cylindrical extension are provided outside the front end of the shroud 12. The closed space 40 surrounded by the wall portion formed by the wind guide plate side plate-like inclined protrusions 62 provided at the tip portion of each plate-like extension portion 34 of the portion 30 is formed between the wind guide plate 14 and the shroud 12. It is formed in communication only with the gap 16 formed therebetween. As a result, a seal portion 18 is formed between the shroud 12 and the air guide plate 14, so that even if the wind guided toward the radiator 10 by the air guide plate 14 enters the gap 16. This prevents the air from passing through the gap 16 to the outside, and the sealing performance between the air guide plate 14 and the shroud 12 can be ensured.

また、本実施形態では、導風板14とシュラウド12とが前後方向に相対変位せしめられたときに、各板状延出部34の先端部位に設けられた導風板側板状傾斜突部62が、第一対向面26に対して、シュラウド側板状傾斜突部60が、各板状延出部34の外側側面に対して、それぞれ摺動することで、導風板14とシュラウド12との前後方向への相対変位に起因した間隙16のシール性の低下が有利に防止され得るようになっている。更に、導風板14とシュラウド12とが左右方向や上下方向に相対変位せしめられたときに、例えば、第一及び第二の板状リブ23,25の撓み変形や、板状延出部34の撓み変形等にて、それらの相対変位が吸収されること等により、導風板14とシュラウド12の左右方向や上下方向の相対変位に起因した間隙16のシール性の低下が有利に防止され得るようになっている。   Further, in this embodiment, when the air guide plate 14 and the shroud 12 are relatively displaced in the front-rear direction, the air guide plate-side plate-like inclined protrusion 62 provided at the tip portion of each plate-like extension portion 34. However, the shroud side plate-like inclined protrusions 60 slide with respect to the first opposing surface 26 with respect to the outer side surfaces of the respective plate-like extension portions 34, so that the air guide plate 14 and the shroud 12 are A reduction in the sealing performance of the gap 16 due to the relative displacement in the front-rear direction can be advantageously prevented. Furthermore, when the air guide plate 14 and the shroud 12 are relatively displaced in the left-right direction and the up-down direction, for example, the first and second plate-like ribs 23 and 25 are deformed and the plate-like extension portion 34. The relative deformation of the air guide plate 14 and the shroud 12 can be advantageously prevented from lowering the sealing performance of the gap 16 due to the relative displacement of the air guide plate 14 and the shroud 12 in the horizontal and vertical directions. To get.

従って、このような構造とされた本実施形態にあっても、前記第一及び第二の実施形態と同様な作用・効果が有効に享受され得ることとなる。   Therefore, even in the present embodiment having such a structure, the same operations and effects as those of the first and second embodiments can be enjoyed effectively.

そして、本実施形態では、シュラウド側板状傾斜突部60が、各第二の板状リブ25と略同一の厚さを有すると共に、導風板側板状傾斜突部62が、各板状延出部34と略同一の厚さを有している。そのため、前記第一及び第二の実施形態とは異なって、シュラウド側板状傾斜突部60と導風板側板状傾斜突部62が容易には弾性変形しないようになっている。しかしながら、各板状延出部34が、各第一の板状リブ23と各第二の板状リブ25との間に圧入される際に、第一の板状リブ23と導風板側板状傾斜突部62との間に生ずる摩擦抵抗力や、板状延出部34とシュラウド側板状傾斜突部60との間に生ずる摩擦抵抗力が、シュラウド側及び導風板側板状傾斜突部60,62に対して、それらの延出方向に平行な方向において作用せしめられるようになる。   In the present embodiment, the shroud-side plate-like inclined protrusions 60 have substantially the same thickness as the second plate-like ribs 25, and the air guide plate-side plate-like inclined protrusions 62 have the respective plate-like extensions. The portion 34 has substantially the same thickness. Therefore, unlike the first and second embodiments, the shroud side plate-like inclined protrusions 60 and the air guide plate side plate-like inclined protrusions 62 are not easily elastically deformed. However, when each plate-like extension part 34 is press-fitted between each first plate-like rib 23 and each second plate-like rib 25, the first plate-like rib 23 and the wind guide plate side plate The frictional resistance generated between the plate-like inclined projection 62 and the frictional resistance generated between the plate-like extension portion 34 and the shroud-side plate-like inclined projection 60 are shroud-side and baffle plate-side plate-like inclined projections. 60 and 62 are allowed to act in a direction parallel to the extending direction.

従って、例えば、容易に弾性変形しないシュラウド側板状傾斜突部60や導風板側板状傾斜突部62が、各第二の板状リブ25や各板状延出部34から直角方向に突出するように一体形成されている場合とは異なって、各板状延出部34が、各第一の板状リブ23と各第二の板状リブ25との間に圧入される際に、シュラウド側板状傾斜突部60や導風板側板状傾斜突部62が、各板状延出部34や各第一の板状リブ23との間に生ずる摩擦抵抗力により、破損したり、変形したりすることが、未然に防止され得る。これによっても、間隙16のシール性が安定的に確保され得ることとなる。   Therefore, for example, the shroud-side plate-like inclined protrusions 60 and the baffle plate-side plate-like inclined protrusions 62 that are not easily elastically deformed protrude from the second plate-like ribs 25 and the respective plate-like extending portions 34 in the right-angle direction. Unlike the case where they are integrally formed as described above, when each plate-like extension portion 34 is press-fitted between each first plate-like rib 23 and each second plate-like rib 25, the shroud The side plate-like inclined protrusions 60 and the air guide plate-side plate-like inclined protrusions 62 are damaged or deformed by the frictional resistance generated between the plate-like extension portions 34 and the first plate-like ribs 23. Can be prevented in advance. Also by this, the sealing performance of the gap 16 can be secured stably.

ところで、図7に示された前記第三の実施形態では、筒状延出部30の各板状延出部34の先端部位に、導風板側板状傾斜突部62が一体成形されると共に、各第二の板状リブ25の先端部位に、シュラウド側板状傾斜突部60が一体成形されていたが、図8に示されるように、シュラウド側板状傾斜突部60を省略することも出来る。この場合には、第一及び第二の板状リブ23,25間への各板状延出部34の圧入状態下で、各第一の板状リブ23の第一対向面26に対して、導風板側板状傾斜突部62の先端部位が摺動可能に圧接せしめられる一方、各第二の板状リブ25の第二対向面28に対して、各板状延出部34が、その外側側面において、摺動可能に圧接せしめられることとなる。   By the way, in the third embodiment shown in FIG. 7, the wind guide plate side plate-like inclined protrusion 62 is integrally formed at the tip portion of each plate-like extension portion 34 of the cylindrical extension portion 30. The shroud-side plate-like inclined protrusions 60 are integrally formed at the tip portions of the respective second plate-like ribs 25. However, as shown in FIG. 8, the shroud-side plate-like inclined protrusions 60 can be omitted. . In this case, with respect to the first opposing surface 26 of each first plate-like rib 23 under the press-fitted state of each plate-like extension portion 34 between the first and second plate-like ribs 23, 25. In addition, while the tip portion of the wind guide plate side plate-like inclined protrusion 62 is slidably pressed, each plate-like extension portion 34 is opposed to the second facing surface 28 of each second plate-like rib 25. The outer side surface is slidably pressed.

このような構造を採用する場合にあっても、導風板14とシュラウド12との間に形成された間隙16のみに連通する閉鎖空間40を形成するシール部18が設けられる。それ故、前記第三の実施形態において奏される作用・効果と同様な作用・効果が、有効に享受され得る。   Even when such a structure is employed, the seal portion 18 that forms the closed space 40 that communicates only with the gap 16 formed between the air guide plate 14 and the shroud 12 is provided. Therefore, the same operation / effect as the operation / effect achieved in the third embodiment can be enjoyed effectively.

また、シュラウド側板状傾斜突部60や導風板側板状傾斜突部62の両方が設けられる場合にあっても、各第二の板状リブ25や各板状延出部34のそれぞれの先端部位からの各板状傾斜突部60,62の傾斜、突出方向は、前記第三の実施形態に示されるものに、何等限定されるものではない。例えば、図9に示されるように、各第二の板状リブ25の先端部位に、シュラウド側板状傾斜突部60を、後方に向かって、第二の筒状リブ24の内側に傾斜して突出するように設ける一方、筒状延出部30の各板状延出部34の先端部位に、導風板側板状傾斜突部62を、前方に向かって、筒状延出部30の内側に傾斜して突出するように形成することも出来る。   Further, even when both the shroud side plate-like inclined protrusions 60 and the air guide plate side plate-like inclined protrusions 62 are provided, the respective tips of the second plate-like ribs 25 and the respective plate-like extending portions 34 are provided. The inclination and the protruding direction of each plate-like inclined protrusion 60, 62 from the part are not limited to those shown in the third embodiment. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, the shroud-side plate-like inclined protrusions 60 are inclined toward the inner side of the second cylindrical rib 24 toward the rear at the tip portion of each second plate-like rib 25. While providing so that it may protrude, the baffle plate side plate-shaped inclined protrusion 62 is arranged in the front-end | tip part of each plate-shaped extension part 34 of the cylindrical extension part 30 inside the cylindrical extension part 30 toward the front. It can also be formed so as to protrude at an angle.

このような本実施形態にあっても、前記第三の実施形態と同様な作用・効果が、有効に享受され得る。また、本実施形態では、特に、シュラウド側及び導風板側板状傾斜突部60,62の傾斜方向からして、各板状延出部34が、各第一の板状リブ23と各第二の板状リブ25との間に、よりスムーズに圧入され得る。   Even in this embodiment, the same actions and effects as those of the third embodiment can be enjoyed effectively. Further, in the present embodiment, in particular, each plate-like extension portion 34 is connected to each first plate-like rib 23 and each of the first plate-like ribs 23 from the inclination direction of the shroud side and the baffle plate side plate-like inclined protrusions 60 and 62. It can be press-fitted more smoothly between the second plate-like ribs 25.

また、図10に示されるように、各第一の板状リブ23の先端部位に、シュラウド側板状傾斜突部60を、前方に向かって、第二の筒状リブ24の外側に傾斜して突出するように設ける一方、筒状延出部30の各板状延出部34の先端部位に、導風板側板状傾斜突部62を、後方に向かって、筒状延出部30の外側に傾斜して突出するように形成しても良い。この場合には、シュラウド側板状傾斜突部60の先端部位が、筒状延出部30の各板状延出部34の内側側面に対して摺動可能に圧接され、また、導風板側板状傾斜突部62の先端部位が、第二の板状リブ25の第二対向面28に対して摺動可能に圧接されるようにして、各板状延出部34が、各第一の板状リブ23と各第二の板状リブ25との対向面間に圧入せしめられることとなる。   Further, as shown in FIG. 10, the shroud-side plate-like inclined protrusions 60 are inclined to the outside of the second cylindrical rib 24 toward the front at the tip portion of each first plate-like rib 23. While providing so that it may protrude, the baffle plate side plate-shaped inclined protrusion 62 is arranged in the front-end | tip part of each plate-shaped extension part 34 of the cylindrical extension part 30, and the outer side of the cylindrical extension part 30 toward back. You may form so that it may incline and protrude. In this case, the tip portion of the shroud-side plate-like inclined protrusion 60 is slidably pressed against the inner side surface of each plate-like extension portion 34 of the cylindrical extension portion 30, and the wind guide plate side plate Each of the plate-like extending portions 34 is slidably pressed against the second facing surface 28 of the second plate-like rib 25 so that the tip portion of each of the inclined inclined portions 62 is in contact with each of the first It will be press-fitted between the opposing surfaces of the plate-like ribs 23 and the respective second plate-like ribs 25.

かくの如き構造とされた本実施形態にあっても、前記第三及び第四の実施形態と同様な作用・効果が、有効に享受され得る。   Even in the present embodiment having such a structure, the same operations and effects as those of the third and fourth embodiments can be enjoyed effectively.
