JP 2014-91396 A

  In the pillar garnish 101, the rear peripheral end 113 of the duct 111 is sandwiched between the bezel 107 and the end wall 105, so that the rigidity of the locking portion of the rear peripheral end 113 is ensured. Further, the rear peripheral end 113 of the duct 111 sandwiched between the bezel 107 and the end wall 105 is covered from behind by the lid 107a.

  On the other hand, the rear peripheral end 113 of the duct 111 does not cover a part of the bezel 107 (the lid 107a) outside the opening 106 at the rear peripheral end 113 and the end wall 105, and the rear peripheral end 113 is There is also a demand for a pillar garnish that is not sandwiched between the end wall portion 107 and the end wall portion 105. In this specification, the duct 111 and the bezel 107 are separately assembled to the garnish main body 102. That is, the front peripheral end of the duct 111 is locked to the side wall 103, and the rear peripheral end 113 of the duct 111 is locked to the end wall 105. Further, the inner end of the bezel 107 is locked at a position on the inner side of the opening 106 of the garnish body 102, and the outer end of the bezel 107 is connected to the opening 106 of the end wall 105. Is also locked on the outside of the vehicle.

  In this case, the rear peripheral end 113 of the duct 111 is locked to the end wall 105, but is not sandwiched between the bezel 107 and the end wall 105 unlike the above-mentioned Patent Document 1. For this reason, there is a possibility that the rigidity of the locking portion with respect to the end wall portion 105 of the duct 111 is insufficient.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a pillar garnish that can increase the rigidity of a portion where a duct is locked to an end wall of a garnish main body.

  A pillar garnish that solves the above problem has a garnish body including a side wall that covers a pillar of a vehicle from the inside in a vehicle width direction, and a base having an end wall that covers the pillar from one side in a front-rear direction, and the end wall. A bezel that is assembled to the garnish body while being inserted through the formed opening, and a duct that forms a flow path that guides air-conditioning air to the bezel between the garnish body and a front-rear direction of the duct When the peripheral end closer to the side wall is the first peripheral end and the peripheral end closer to the end wall is the second peripheral end, the duct is A first locking portion provided on the first peripheral end portion is locked by a first locked portion provided on the side wall portion, and a second locking portion provided on the second peripheral end portion. The opening of the end wall portion A pillar garnish that is assembled to the garnish main body in a state of straddling the side wall portion and the end wall portion by being locked by a second locked portion provided outside the vehicle. A reinforcing portion for reinforcing a locking portion of the second locking portion with respect to the second locked portion is provided, and the reinforcing portion is provided on each of the second peripheral end portion and the end wall portion, Further, there is provided a reinforcing component that engages with each other in a state where the second locking portion is locked to the second locked portion.

  According to the above configuration, the bezel is assembled to the garnish main body while being inserted into the opening of the end wall. A state in which the first locking portion at the first peripheral end of the duct is locked to the first locked portion of the side wall of the garnish body, so that the first peripheral end is locked to the side wall. It becomes. In addition, the second locking portion at the second peripheral end of the duct is locked to a second locked portion provided on the vehicle outer side of the opening in the end wall of the garnish main body, so that the second locking portion is provided. The two circumferential ends are locked to the end wall. Unlike the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, the second locking portion is not sandwiched between the bezel and the end wall portion. However, the locking portion of the second locking portion with respect to the second locked portion is reinforced by the reinforcing portion. This reinforcement is performed in a state where the reinforcing component provided at the second peripheral end and the reinforcing component provided at the end wall are in a state where the second locking portion is locked to the second locked portion. , By engaging each other. By this reinforcement, the rigidity of the locking portion of the second peripheral end with respect to the end wall is increased.

  In the pillar garnish, an upright wall portion protruding toward the pillar is formed at a portion of the end wall portion adjacent to the opening on the vehicle outer side, and the second locked portion is provided at the end wall. A second insertion hole formed in at least the upright wall portion of the portion, wherein the second locking portion projects from the second peripheral end portion and is inserted into the second insertion hole. It is preferable to have

  According to the above configuration, the second insertion claw protruding from the second peripheral end is inserted into the second insertion hole formed in at least the upright wall of the end wall, thereby providing the second peripheral end. Is locked to the end wall. In this state, the reinforcing component on the second peripheral end and the reinforcing component on the end wall engage with each other, so that the rigidity of the locking portion of the second peripheral end with respect to the end wall is increased. Is enhanced.

  In the pillar garnish, the reinforcing component on the side of the end wall is constituted by at least a tip portion of the upright wall, and the reinforcing component on the side of the second peripheral end extends from the second peripheral end. A plate-like extension, and a projection that projects from the extension and is engaged with at least the distal end of the upright wall in a state in which the second locking portion is locked by the second locked portion. It is preferable to have a collision part.

  According to the above configuration, the engagement of the engagement projection with the tip of the upright wall is performed by the engagement projection getting over the tip. At this time, at least one of the extending portion and the standing wall portion is elastically deformed, and then returns to its original shape by its own elastic restoring force.

  Therefore, when assembling the duct to the garnish main body, while the engaging projection is over the tip of the standing wall, the amount of elastic deformation of at least one of the extending part and the standing wall is increased, so that the assembling load is increased. I do. When the engaging projection climbs over the front end of the standing wall and engages, the assembly load is reduced because the elastically deformed one of the extension and the standing wall returns to its original shape. The change (increase / decrease) in the assembling load gives a sense of moderation. Further, when the engaging projections cross over the front end portion of the upright wall portion and engage with the front end portion, the extension portion hits the front end portion, so that a snapping sound is generated. Therefore, the assembling worker of the pillar garnish feels a sense of moderation and can hear the sound effect to confirm that the second locking portion is properly locked to the second locked portion. Become.

  As described above, in a state where the second locking portion is locked to the second locked portion, when the engagement protrusion protruding from the plate-like extension is engaged with the tip of the upright wall portion, The locking portion of the second locking portion to the second locked portion is reinforced. By this reinforcement, the rigidity of the locking portion of the second peripheral end with respect to the end wall is increased.

  In the pillar garnish, reinforcing ribs for reinforcing the upright wall portion are formed at a plurality of locations in the end wall portion that are separated from each other in a length direction of the pillar, and the engaging protrusion is provided at the extension portion. Preferably, the reinforcing rib is provided at a position shifted in the length direction with respect to the reinforcing rib.

  According to the above configuration, the upright wall portion is reinforced by the reinforcing ribs formed at a plurality of locations on the end wall portion that are separated from each other in the length direction of the pillar. The rigidity of the upright wall portion is highest at the portion where the reinforcing ribs are formed, and decreases as the reinforcing ribs move away from the reinforcing ribs in the length direction.

  Here, each of the engagement protrusions is located at a position of the extension portion that is shifted in the length direction with respect to the reinforcing rib. From this, at least one of the standing wall portion and the extension portion is elastically deformed and deformed when the engaging projection crosses the standing wall portion, as compared with the case where the engaging protrusion is located at the same position as the reinforcing rib in the length direction. It is easier to restore. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the assembling work from becoming difficult due to an excessively large assembling load.

  In the pillar garnish, a pair of inner locked projections protruding toward the pillar are provided on a surface of the garnish main body on the pillar side, which is separated from each other in the front-rear direction on the vehicle inner side than the opening. The end wall portion is provided with a bezel support portion extending from the outer edge of the opening to the pillar side and having a step portion, and the bezel is a cylindrical frame having both front and rear ends opened. The frame portion is formed with an inner locking projection projecting from the vehicle interior portion of the frame portion to the vehicle interior, and the external locking projecting from the vehicle exterior portion of the frame portion to the vehicle exterior. A protrusion is formed, and the inner locking protrusion is disposed between the two internally locked protrusions while the bezel is inserted through the opening, and the outer locking protrusion is formed by the step. By being locked to the part, it is assembled to the garnish body It is preferable that.

  According to the above configuration, the inner locking projection projecting from the vehicle interior portion of the frame portion is disposed between the pair of internally locked projections projecting from the garnish main body to the pillar side, and the frame portion is mounted on the vehicle outer side. The bezel is assembled to the garnish main body by the external locking projection projecting from the portion to the outside of the vehicle being locked to the step of the bezel support.

  In the pillar garnish, a skin is adhered to at least a surface of the base portion on the inner side of the vehicle, and the end wall portion has a support surface for supporting the bezel inserted through the opening around the opening. The portion of the skin corresponding to the opening is bent inward of the opening, sandwiched between the support surface of the end wall portion and the frame portion, and adhered to the support surface. Is preferred.

  According to the above configuration, the support surface around the opening of the end wall portion has a function of supporting the bezel inserted through the opening and also functions as a portion to which a part of the skin is adhered. In a state where the bezel is inserted into the opening, a part of the skin is sandwiched between the support surface of the end wall portion and the frame portion of the bezel, and is adhered to the support surface. Therefore, at a stage before the bezel is inserted into the opening, it is possible to bend a part of the skin toward the inside of the opening and stick it to the support surface. In addition, by forming a slit in a portion corresponding to the opening in the skin, a part of the skin can be attached to the support surface in the process of inserting the bezel into the opening. In this case, a part of the epidermis is pushed by the bezel as the bezel is inserted into the opening. A portion of the epidermis is folded inside the opening. Then, the portion of the skin that is bent toward the inside of the opening is adhered to the support surface in a state of being sandwiched between the support surface of the end wall portion and the frame portion.

  According to the pillar garnish, it is possible to increase the rigidity of the locking portion of the duct with respect to the end wall of the garnish main body.

Next, the operation and effects of the pillar garnish 20 of the present embodiment configured as described above will be described.
First, a procedure for assembling the bezel 45 to the garnish main body 21 will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 7, a skin 40 to which an adhesive has been applied in advance is adhered to the base 22 along the inner surface of the base 22. The terminal portion of the skin 40 is attached to the surface of the base portion 22 on the side of the pillar 13 while being wound around the peripheral portion of the base portion 22. At this stage, the opening 27 is closed by a part of the epidermis 40 from the rear side. In the skin 40, a slit 41 is formed in a portion corresponding to the opening 27. The garnish body 21 is obtained by sticking the skin 40 to the base 22 in this manner.

  Next, the bezel 45 is moved from behind the end wall portion 26 of the garnish main body 21 to the inside of the front vehicle diagonally as indicated by an arrow in FIG. With this movement, the bezel 45 approaches the opening 27. During the movement, a portion corresponding to the opening 27 in the skin 40 is pushed obliquely inward by the bezel 45 into the front vehicle. As shown in FIG. 8, the bezel 45 is inserted into the opening 27 by the above movement. The portion where the skin 40 is pressed by the bezel 45, that is, the peripheral portion of the slit 41 is bent inside the opening 27. In the process of inserting the bezel 45 into the opening 27, the bent portion of the skin 40 is sandwiched between the support surface 31 of the end wall 26 and the frame 46 of the bezel 45, and is adhered to the support surface 31. Is done.

  As described above, the support surface 31 around the opening 27 in the end wall portion 26 has a function of supporting the bezel 45 inserted through the opening 27 and also serves as a portion to which a part of the skin 40 is adhered. Also works. Therefore, in order to assemble the bezel 45 to the garnish main body 21, the skin 40 can be stuck to the support surface 31 by performing an operation of inserting the bezel 45 into the opening 27. Therefore, as compared with the case where the operation of attaching the skin 40 to the support surface 31 and then the case where the bezel 45 is inserted into the opening 27, the number of assembly steps is reduced, and the assembly operation is simplified and the time is shortened. Can be planned.

  While the bezel 45 is being inserted into the opening 27, the inner locking projection 49 is brought closer to the front inner locking projection 25 on the side wall 23, as indicated by an arrow in FIG. 8. When the inner locking projection 49 is pressed against the inner locked projection 25 from an obliquely rear side of the vehicle, the further movement of the bezel 45 to the obliquely front side of the vehicle is restricted. In this manner, the abutment of the inner locking projection 49 with the internally locked projection 25 positions the bezel 45 in the front-rear direction and the vehicle width direction.

  The bezel 45 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction in FIG. 8 with the inner locking projection 49 positioned as described above as a fulcrum. In the course of this rotation, as shown in FIG. 6, the inner locking projection 49 enters between the inner locking projections 25 and 28. By disposing the inner locking projection 49 between the inner locking projections 25 and 28, the vehicle interior portion 46 a of the bezel 45 is locked in the garnish main body 21 at a location on the vehicle interior side of the opening 27. State. Also, the plurality of external locking projections 51 in the vehicle outer portion 46b of the frame portion 46 ride over the corresponding step portion 32 of the bezel support portion 29, so that the vehicle outer portion 46b opens in the end wall portion 26 at the opening 27. It is in a state of being locked at a position outside the vehicle. In this manner, the bezel 45 is assembled to the garnish main body 21 at a location inside the vehicle from the opening 27 and at a location outside the vehicle.

Next, a procedure for assembling the duct 55 to the garnish main body 21 will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 11 and 13, the plurality of second insertion claws 67 of the duct 55 are inserted into the corresponding second insertion holes 34 in the upright wall 33 with respect to the garnish body 21 in a state where the bezel 45 is assembled. Plugged in. With this insertion, the engaging projection 71 approaches the distal end 33 a of the upright wall 33. When the engaging projection 71 hits the distal end portion 33a, each of the second insertion claws 67 is not inserted into the second insertion hole 34 up to the base end portion.

  Further, the duct 55 is pushed backward. When each of the second insertion claws 67 is inserted into the second insertion hole 34 up to the base end, the engagement projection 71 gets over the front end 33a of the upright wall 33 and is engaged with the front end 33a. At the time of overcoming, at least one of the extension portion 69 and the upright wall portion 33 is elastically deformed, and then returns to its original shape by its own elastic restoring force.

  Therefore, when the duct 55 is assembled to the garnish main body 21, the elastic deformation of the extension 69 and the upright wall 33 is increased while the engaging projection 71 is over the tip 33 a. Thus, the assembling load increases. This assembling load is due to the fact that the elastically deformed one of the extension 69 and the standing wall 33 returns to its original shape due to its own restoring force when the engaging projection 71 gets over the standing wall 33 and engages. ,Decrease. The change (increase / decrease) in the assembling load gives a sense of moderation. Further, when the engaging projection 71 gets over the front end portion 33a and engages, the extension portion 69 hits the front end portion 33a, so that a click sound is generated. Therefore, the worker who assembles the duct 55 feels a sense of moderation and hears a sound effect to confirm that the second insertion claw 67 has been properly locked in the second insertion hole 34 to the base end. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the assembly failure of the second peripheral end portion 66 of the duct 55.

  Here, the upright wall portion 33 is reinforced by reinforcing ribs 36 (see FIGS. 2 and 4) formed at a plurality of locations on the end wall portion 26 that are separated from each other in the length direction. The rigidity of the upright wall portion 33 is highest at the portion where the reinforcing ribs 36 are formed, and decreases as the distance from the reinforcing ribs 36 in the length direction increases.

  On the other hand, each of the engaging projections 71 is located at a position (between adjacent reinforcing ribs 36) of the extending portion 69 which is displaced from the reinforcing rib 36 in the length direction. Therefore, when the engaging protrusion 71 gets over the standing wall portion 33, at least the extension portion 69 and the standing wall portion 33 are compared with the case where the engaging protrusion 71 is located at the same position as the reinforcing rib 36 in the length direction. One is easily elastically deformed and elastically restored. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the assembling work from becoming difficult due to an excessively large assembling load.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 14, the corresponding first insertion claw 24 is inserted into the first insertion hole 63 of each first locking portion 64 in the first peripheral end portion 62, so that the duct 55 The first peripheral end 62 is locked to the side wall 23.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, unlike the above-described Patent Document 1, the second peripheral end portion 66 of the duct 55 is not sandwiched between the bezel 45 and the end wall portion 26. As shown in FIGS. 10A and 10B, the second peripheral end portion 66 is only locked by the end wall portion 26 when the second insertion claw 67 is inserted into the second insertion hole 34. It is. However, the locking portion of the second insertion claw 67 with respect to the second insertion hole 34 is reinforced by the reinforcing portion R1 shown in FIG. In this reinforcement, the extension 69 and the engagement projection 71, which are reinforcement components on the second peripheral end portion 66 side, and the distal end portion 33a of the upright wall portion 33, which is a reinforcement component on the end wall portion 26 side, have The two insertion claws 67 are engaged with each other in a state of being locked in the second insertion hole 34. With this reinforcement, the rigidity of the locking portion with respect to the end wall portion 26 of the second peripheral end portion 66 can be increased. It is possible to prevent the second peripheral end 66 from rattling or moving with respect to the end wall 26.

According to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained in addition to the above.
-Unlike Patent Document 1, the bezel 45 and the duct 55 are separately (independently) assembled to the garnish main body 21. The bezel 45 and the duct 55 do not relate to each other's assembly. Therefore, the order of assembling the bezel 45 and the duct 55 to the garnish body 21 does not matter. Unlike the above embodiment, the duct 55 can be assembled to the garnish body 21 first, and then the bezel 45 can be assembled to the garnish body 21.
