JP 2003-81034 A

Now, it is conceivable that large resin molded products such as vehicle grilles, such as vehicle front grilles, are divided and formed into multiple parts. In such cases, the multiple parts are fastened with screws or the like. However, before fastening with screws or the like, the positions of the parts relative to each other are not fixed, and it is difficult to hold these parts in the fastened position. In particular, with large exterior vehicle parts such as vehicle grilles, each part is large, making it difficult to hold the parts in the fastened position.

The present invention was made in consideration of the above-mentioned problems, and aims to form an exterior vehicle part into an upper part and a lower part, so that the upper part and the lower part can be easily held in a position where they can be fastened together during assembly.

The present invention adopts the following configuration as a means for solving the above problems.

The first aspect of the present invention is an exterior part for a vehicle that is provided on a vehicle, comprising a lower part and an upper part that is positioned above the lower part and fastened to the lower part, and one of the lower part and the upper part has a first opposing portion that is disposed opposite the other of the lower part and the upper part, and a second opposing portion that is disposed opposite the other of the lower part and the upper part from the side opposite the first opposing portion.

The second aspect of the present invention is the first aspect, but with a temporary holding claw portion provided on one of the lower part and the upper part, and a locking portion provided on the other of the lower part and the upper part that can lock the temporary holding claw portion.

The third aspect of the present invention is the second aspect, in which the one of the lower part and the upper part that has the temporary holding claw portion has a claw opening that is provided around the temporary holding claw portion and allows the temporary holding claw portion to bend and deform, and has the first opposing portion and the second opposing portion.

The fourth aspect of the present invention is the third aspect, in which the first opposing portion is provided with the claw opening, and the second opposing portion is provided so as to face the claw opening.

The fifth aspect of the present invention is the fourth aspect, in which a plurality of second opposing portions are provided to face one of the nail openings.

The sixth aspect of the present invention is the fifth aspect, which is configured to include an auxiliary opposing portion disposed between the second opposing portions and protruding from the edge of the nail opening in parallel with the first opposing portion.

The vehicle exterior part of the present invention is divided into an upper part and a lower part that are fastened to each other. In addition, one of the lower part and the upper part has a first opposing portion that is arranged to face the other of the lower part and the upper part, and a second opposing portion that is arranged to face the other of the lower part and the upper part from the opposite side to the first opposing portion. Therefore, the other of the lower part and the upper part is partially inserted between the first opposing portion and the second opposing portion provided on one of the lower part and the upper part. Therefore, even before fastening, the lower part and the upper part are restricted from moving relative to each other in the arrangement direction of the first opposing portion and the second opposing portion. Therefore, the fastening work of the lower part and the upper part can be easily performed. Therefore, according to the present invention, the vehicle exterior part is divided into an upper part and a lower part, and the upper part and the lower part can be easily held in a position where they can be fastened during assembly.

One embodiment of a vehicle exterior part according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the following description, an example in which the vehicle exterior part according to the present invention is applied to a radiator grille will be described. However, the present invention is not limited to radiator grilles, and can be applied to vehicle exterior parts installed in a vehicle.

Figure 1 is a front view of a vehicle 100 equipped with a radiator grille (vehicle exterior part) of this embodiment. The radiator grille 1 of this embodiment is a front grille installed at the front of the vehicle 100, and is located in front of a radiator located inside the engine compartment. This radiator grille 1 is an exterior part formed mainly from resin.

As shown in FIG. 1, the vehicle 100 has two headlights 101 arranged at a distance in the vehicle width direction (horizontal direction). The headlights 101 are lighting devices that illuminate the area ahead of the vehicle, and are also exterior parts that are visible from outside the vehicle 100 and form the exterior appearance of the vehicle 100. The vehicle 100 also has an upper garnish 102 located above the headlights 101. The upper garnish 102 is a plate-shaped exterior part whose longitudinal direction is the vehicle width direction. One longitudinal end of the upper garnish 102 is located above one of the two headlights 101, and the other longitudinal end is located above the other of the two headlights 101.

The headlight 101 is fixed to, for example, the vehicle body frame, and is not directly supported by the radiator grill 1. On the other hand, the upper garnish 102 is directly supported by the radiator grill 1, which is fixed to the bumper or the vehicle body frame. In other words, in this embodiment, the radiator grill 1 supports the upper garnish 102, which is a second exterior part located above the headlight 101, which is a first exterior part. The upper garnish 102 has a center part in the vehicle width direction connected to the radiator grill 1, and both ends in the vehicle width direction protrude outward from the radiator grill 1 in the vehicle width direction.

Figure 2 is a front view showing the schematic configuration of the radiator grill 1 of this embodiment. Also, Figure 3 is a rear view showing the schematic configuration of the radiator grill 1 of this embodiment. Also, Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A in Figure 2.

As shown in these figures, the radiator grille 1 of this embodiment includes a grille body 2, a first decorative part 3, and a second decorative part 4. The grille body 2 is fixed to, for example, the bumper or body frame of the vehicle 100, and supports the first decorative part 3 and the second decorative part 4. The grille body 2 also supports the above-mentioned upper garnish 102 from below.

For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the grill body 2 includes an upper part 5, a lower part 6, and screws 7. FIG. 5 is a schematic exploded view of the upper part 5 and the lower part 6 as viewed from the rear side. As shown in this figure, the radiator grill 1 of this embodiment is formed separately into the upper part 5 and the lower part 6.

The upper part 5 is a resin part that forms the upper part of the grill body 2. As shown in FIG. 2, for example, the upper part 5 has a front part 5a and an upper wall part 5b. The front part 5a is the part that is fixed to the lower part 6. FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view along line B-B in FIG. 5 with the upper part 5 and the lower part 6 fixed together.

As shown in FIG. 6, the front part 5a of the upper part 5 is located above the lower part 6 and has a wall surface 5a1 facing downward. The wall surface 5a1 is provided with a height-regulating protrusion 5c that protrudes downward. In other words, in this embodiment, the upper part 5 has a height-regulating protrusion 5c that protrudes downward.

The height-regulating protrusion 5c is a protrusion that abuts against the lower part 6 from above. In other words, the lower end of the height-regulating protrusion 5c abuts against the lower part 6 from above. This height-regulating protrusion 5c regulates the positional relationship between the upper part 5 and the lower part 6 in the up-down direction.

In addition, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, multiple height-regulating protrusions 5c are arranged in the width direction of the vehicle 100 (the vehicle width direction when the radiator grille 1 is attached to the vehicle 100). The height-regulating protrusions 5c may be paired in pairs of two that are arranged close to each other, with multiple pairs provided along the vehicle width direction. By providing multiple height-regulating protrusions 5c in this manner, the upper part 5 and the lower part 6 come into contact at multiple points, preventing the upper part 5 from tilting relative to the lower part 6 when viewed from the front of the vehicle.

As shown in FIG. 6, each height-regulating protrusion 5c extends linearly along the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle 100 (the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle when the radiator grille 1 is attached to the vehicle 100). This allows each height-regulating protrusion 5c to come into contact with the lower part 6 over a wide range in the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle. This prevents the upper part 5 from tilting relative to the lower part 6 when viewed from the vehicle width direction.

Returning to FIG. 2, the upper wall portion 5b is formed to protrude from the upper end of the front portion 5a toward the rear side, and is a plate-shaped portion to which the upper garnish 102 is fixed. The upper wall portion 5b supports the upper garnish 102 from below.

In addition, a temporary holding opening 5a2 (retained portion) is provided in the front portion 5a of the upper part 5. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, two temporary holding openings 5a2 are provided in the upper part 5. Each temporary holding opening 5a2 is formed penetrating in the front-rear direction of the vehicle 100, and a protrusion 6b1 of a temporary holding claw portion 6b of the lower part 6, which will be described later, is inserted into the temporary holding opening 5a2. The number of temporary holding openings 5a2 and temporary holding claw portions 6b is not limited to two. The number of temporary holding openings 5a2 and temporary holding claw portions 6b may be three or more.

In addition, the front portion 5a of the upper part 5 is provided with a number of screw insertion holes 5d. These screw insertion holes 5d are holes through which screws 7 are inserted to fasten the upper part 5 and the lower part 6 together.

The lower part 6 is a resin part that forms the lower part of the grill body 2. The lower part 6 is fixed to an external part such as a bumper or a body frame (a part that is provided on the vehicle 100 and is different from the radiator grill 1). As shown in FIG. 2, for example, the lower part 6 has a base 6a (first opposing part), a temporary holding claw part 6b, a support wall 6c, and a protruding wall 6d (auxiliary opposing part).

The base 6a is the main structural part of the radiator grille 1 and has a number of openings 6a1 penetrating in the front-rear direction. In this embodiment, each opening 6a1 is formed in a rectangular shape with the vehicle width direction as the longitudinal direction. The multiple openings 6a1 are arranged in the vertical direction. Such a base 6a has a number of horizontal bar portions 6a2 provided between the openings 6a1. The shape of each opening 6a1 is not particularly limited. Also, for example, in an electric vehicle or the like that does not have an internal combustion engine, it is possible to adopt a configuration that does not have openings 6a1.

Each horizontal bar 6a2 is provided with a plurality of mounting portions 6a3 for mounting the second decorative part 4. The upper edge 6a4 of the base 6a is the portion to which the upper part 5 is attached. This upper edge 6a4 is provided with claw openings 6a5 in accordance with the installation positions of each temporary holding claw 6b. These claw openings 6a5 are provided penetrating the base 6a in the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle 100. By providing such claw openings 6a5, the temporary holding claw 6b can be elastically deformed in the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle 100.

The upper edge 6a4 of the base 6a is provided with a plurality of female threaded portions 6a6 into which the screws 7 are screwed. Each female threaded portion 6a6 is positioned so as to overlap with a screw insertion hole 5d of the upper part 5 when the upper part 5 is attached to the lower part 6. The lower part 6 and the upper part 5 are fastened together by screwing the screws 7 into each female threaded portion 6a6. The upper edge 6a4 of the base 6a is also provided with a plurality of mounting portions 6a7 for mounting the first decorative part 3.

Such a base 6a is fixed to an external part such as a bumper or a vehicle frame via an attachment part (not shown). In other words, in this embodiment, the lower part 6 is fixed to an external part such as a bumper or a vehicle frame.

In addition, in this embodiment, the base 6a of the lower part 6 is disposed opposite the front side surface of the front part 5a of the upper part 5, as shown in FIG. 4. In other words, the base 6a of the lower part 6 functions as a first opposing part disposed opposite the upper part 5.

The temporary retaining claw portions 6b are arranged to hang down from the upper edge of each of the claw openings 6a5 of the base 6a. In this embodiment, since there are two claw openings 6a5, there are also two temporary retaining claw portions 6b. Figure 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along line CC in Figure 5 when the upper part 5 and the lower part 6 are fixed. As shown in Figure 7, each temporary retaining claw portion 6b is formed with a thickness dimension that allows it to bend and deform in the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle 100. In addition, each temporary retaining claw portion 6b has a protruding portion 6b1 that protrudes toward the rear of the vehicle 100.

When the upper part 5 is attached to the lower part 6, the protrusion 6b1 of each temporary holding claw portion 6b comes into contact with the upper part 5 moving downward, causing the temporary holding claw portion 6b to elastically deform toward the front side of the vehicle 100. Thereafter, when the temporary holding opening 5a2 provided in the upper part 5 reaches the protrusion 6b1, each temporary holding claw portion 6b returns to its original shape. As a result, the protrusion 6b1 of the temporary holding claw portion 6b fits into the temporary holding opening 5a2. The protrusion 6b1 of the temporary holding claw portion 6b fits into the temporary holding opening 5a2, preventing the upper part 5 from being pulled out upward from the lower part 6.

Figure 8 is a cross-sectional view taken along line D-D in Figure 5 when the upper part 5 and the lower part 6 are fixed. As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the support wall 6c is connected to the base 6a below the claw opening 6a5. The support wall 6c protrudes from the base 6a toward the rear of the vehicle 100, and is then bent upward. Such a support wall 6c has a standing wall portion 6c1 (second opposing portion) parallel to the wall surface of the base 6a. The standing wall portion 6c1 is disposed spaced apart from the base 6a when viewed in the vehicle width direction. The distance between the wall surface of the base 6a and the standing wall portion 6c1 is set to a dimension that allows the lower edge portion of the front portion 5a of the upper part 5 to be inserted. Therefore, the lower edge portion of the upper part 5 can be inserted between the base 6a and the standing wall portion 6c1. When the upper part 5 is inserted between the base 6a and the vertical wall 6c1, the base 6a is located at the front of the vehicle 100 and the vertical wall 6c1 is located at the rear of the vehicle 100.

In other words, in this embodiment, the standing wall portion 6c1 functions as a second opposing portion disposed opposite the front portion 5a of the upper part 5 from the side opposite the base portion 6a. As a result, the movement of the upper part 5 in the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle 100 is restricted. Therefore, in this embodiment, the upper part 5 attached to the lower part 6 is sandwiched between the base portion 6a and the standing wall portion 6c1 in the fore-and-aft direction, thereby restricting the movement of the upper part 5 in the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle 100. Therefore, the relative movement of the lower part 6 and the upper part 5 in the fore-and-aft direction is restricted.

In addition, in this embodiment, the standing wall portion 6c1 is arranged so as to overlap the claw opening 6a5 provided in the base portion 6a when viewed from the front-rear direction of the vehicle 100. In other words, if the first decorative part 3 is not provided, the standing wall portion 6c1 is exposed to the front side of the vehicle 100 through the claw opening 6a5. Therefore, when the lower part 6 is formed by injection molding, the standing wall portion 6c1 can be molded using a part of the mold that forms the claw opening 6a5. Therefore, there is no need to provide a slide for forming the standing wall portion 6c1 in the mold, and the mold shape can be simplified.

The protruding wall 6d is a wall that protrudes upward from the lower edge (rim) of the claw opening 6a5. This protruding wall 6d is provided parallel to the base 6a, and is located in front of the upper part 5 that is located between the base 6a and the standing wall 6c1. By providing such a protruding wall 6d, the forward movement of the upper part 5 attached to the lower part 6 is restricted not only by the base 6a but also by the protruding wall 6d. Therefore, the movement of the upper part 5 attached to the lower part 6 in the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle 100 can be more reliably restricted.

In addition, in this embodiment, the protruding wall 6d is disposed between the two support walls 6c (i.e., the vertical wall portions 6c1) provided for one temporary holding opening 5a2. In this way, by disposing the protruding wall 6d between the vertical wall portions 6c1, the protruding wall 6d can be disposed close to the vertical wall portions 6c1 when viewed from the front-rear direction of the vehicle 100. Therefore, the protruding wall 6d and the vertical wall portions 6c1 can sandwich the same portion of the upper part 5, and it is possible to prevent a situation in which the upper part 5 cannot be inserted between the protruding wall 6d and the vertical wall portions 6c1 due to the influence of the overall distortion of the upper part 5, etc.

Each screw 7 is inserted into a screw insertion hole 5d provided in the upper part 5 and screwed into the female threaded portion 6a6 of the lower part 6. These screws 7 fasten the upper part 5 and the lower part 6 together as described above.

The first decorative part 3 is a resin part that covers the connection between the upper part 5 and the lower part 6 from the front of the vehicle. As shown in FIG. 5, the first decorative part 3 has a locking claw 3a that protrudes toward the rear. There are multiple locking claws 3a. Each locking claw 3a is inserted into an attachment portion 6a7 provided on the lower part 6, and thereby locked to the lower part 6. The first decorative part 3 is fixed to the lower part 6 by locking these locking claws 3a to the lower part 6.

The second decorative part 4 is a resin part that is placed in front of the horizontal bar portion 6a2 of the lower part 6. As shown in FIG. 5, multiple second decorative parts 4 are provided for each horizontal bar portion 6a2. Each second decorative part 4 has a locking claw 4a that protrudes rearward. Multiple locking claws 4a are provided for each second decorative part 4. Each locking claw 4a is inserted into an attachment portion 6a3 provided on the lower part 6, and thereby locked to the lower part 6. The second decorative part 4 is fixed to the lower part 6 by locking these locking claws 4a to the lower part 6.

When assembling the radiator grille 1 of this embodiment with such a configuration, first the upper part 5 is attached to the lower part 6. At this time, the lower edge of the front part 5a of the upper part 5 is inserted between the base part 6a of the lower part 6 and the vertical wall part 6c1 of the support wall 6c.

As a result, the protrusion 6b1 of the temporary holding claw portion 6b of the lower part 6 fits into the temporary holding opening 5a2 provided in the front portion 5a of the upper part 5. This prevents the upper part 5 from coming off the lower part 6. In addition, because the front portion 5a of the upper part 5 is sandwiched between the base portion 6a of the lower part 6 and the vertical wall portion 6c1 of the support wall 6c, the upper part 5 is restricted from moving in the front-to-rear direction relative to the lower part 6. Therefore, even before fastening with the screw 7, the upper part 5 is temporarily held to the lower part 6.

Then, the upper part 5 and the lower part 6 are fastened together with the screws 7. Furthermore, the first decorative part 3 is attached to the lower part 6. Furthermore, the second decorative part 4 is attached to the lower part 6. Note that the timing of attaching the first decorative part 3 and the second decorative part 4 can be changed.

The radiator grille 1 of this embodiment as described above is an exterior vehicle component that is provided on the vehicle 100. The radiator grille 1 of this embodiment also includes a lower part 6 and an upper part 5. The upper part 5 is located above the lower part 6 and is fastened to the lower part 6. The lower part 6, which is one of the lower part 6 and the upper part 5, has a base 6a that is arranged opposite the upper part 5, which is the other of the lower part 6 and the upper part 5, and a standing wall part 6c1 that is arranged opposite the other of the lower part 6 and the upper part 5 from the opposite side to the base 6a.

The radiator grille 1 of this embodiment is divided into an upper part 5 and a lower part 6 that are fastened together. The lower part 6, which is one of the lower part 6 and the upper part 5, has a base 6a and a vertical wall portion 6c1 as described above. Therefore, a part of the upper part 5 is inserted between the base 6a and the vertical wall portion 6c1 provided on the lower part 6. Therefore, even before fastening, the lower part 6 and the upper part 5 are restricted from moving relative to each other in the arrangement direction of the base 6a and the vertical wall portion 6c1. Therefore, the fastening operation of the lower part 6 and the upper part 5 can be easily performed. Therefore, according to the radiator grille 1 of this embodiment, the upper part 5 and the lower part 6 can be easily held in a position where they can be fastened together during assembly.

The radiator grille 1 of this embodiment also includes a temporary retaining claw portion 6b provided on one of the lower part 6 and the upper part 5, and a temporary retaining opening 5a2 provided on the other of the lower part 6 and the upper part 5, in which the temporary retaining claw portion 6b can be engaged.

In the radiator grille 1 of this embodiment, the upper part 5 can be temporarily held relative to the lower part 6 before the lower part 6 and the upper part 5 are fastened together during assembly. This allows the lower part 6 and the upper part 5 to be fastened together while the positional relationship between the lower part 6 and the upper part 5 is stable.

In addition, in the radiator grille 1 of this embodiment, the lower part 6 having the temporary holding claw portion 6b has a claw opening 6a5 that is provided around the temporary holding claw portion 6b and allows the temporary holding claw portion 6b to bend and deform. Furthermore, the lower part 6 has a base portion 6a and a vertical wall portion 6c1.

According to the radiator grille 1 of this embodiment, the temporary retaining claw portion 6b, the base portion 6a, and the vertical wall portion 6c1 can be provided in the lower part 6. This makes it possible to limit the parts that have complex shapes, and prevents the shape of the upper part 5 from becoming complex.

In addition, in the radiator grille 1 of this embodiment, a claw opening 6a5 is provided in the base 6a, and a standing wall portion 6c1 is provided so as to face the claw opening 6a5. According to the radiator grille 1 of this embodiment, the standing wall portion 6c1 is exposed to the front side of the vehicle 100 through the claw opening 6a5. Therefore, when the lower part 6 is formed by injection molding, the standing wall portion 6c1 can be molded by a part of the mold that forms the claw opening 6a5. Therefore, there is no need to provide a slide for forming the standing wall portion 6c1 in the mold, and the mold shape can be simplified.

In addition, in the radiator grille 1 of this embodiment, multiple vertical wall portions 6c1 are provided facing one claw opening 6a5. Therefore, the multiple vertical wall portions 6c1 can restrict the movement of the upper part 5, making it possible to reduce the load on each vertical wall portion 6c1.

The radiator grille 1 of this embodiment also has a protruding wall 6d. The protruding wall 6d is disposed between the multiple vertical wall portions 6c1 and is provided to protrude parallel to the base portion 6a from the edge of the claw opening 6a5. According to the radiator grille 1 of this embodiment, the protruding wall 6d can also restrict the movement of the upper part 5. In addition, when viewed from the front-rear direction of the vehicle 100, the protruding wall 6d can be disposed close to the vertical wall portion 6c1. Therefore, the protruding wall 6d and the vertical wall portion 6c1 can sandwich the same portion of the upper part 5, and it is possible to prevent a situation in which the upper part 5 cannot be inserted between the protruding wall 6d and the vertical wall portion 6c1 due to the influence of the overall distortion of the upper part 5, etc.

The above describes a preferred embodiment of the present invention with reference to the attached drawings, but it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment.
