BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a full fascia bumper structure for a vehicle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 4, some recent automobiles 1 employ a soft full-face bumper as a bumper 2, and the longitudinal section thereof is configured as shown in FIG. That is, in FIG. 5, reference numeral 3 denotes a bumper facer body, and the opening 5 of the headlamp 4 is formed in the bumper facer body 3 in a cylindrical shape. Reference numeral 3a denotes an upper surface portion between the upper edge portion 5a of the headlamp opening 5 and the rear end portion 3b of the bumper facer body 3, and inside the folded back portion of the upper edge portion 5a of the opening 5 of the headlamp 4, A support 6 is provided to prevent deformation due to thermal expansion. Also,
On the back surface of the bumper fascia body 3, an upper retainer 7 is provided from the upper surface portion 3a to the rear end portion 3b, and the retainer 7 is attached to the vehicle body 8 by a retainer bracket 9
And is fixed in a cantilever state via a vehicle body bracket 10.

[0003] Reference numeral 11 denotes a tubular headlamp garnish disposed between the headlamp 4 and the opening 5 of the headlamp 4. The garnish 11 is fixed to the upper retainer 7 by a connecting plate 12. ing. 1 in the figure
3 is a hood.

FIGS. 6 and 7 show another conventional example. In a bumper structure in which a plurality of tubular portions 15 are opened in a flexible fascia member 14 for a head lamp, a turn lamp, etc. Opening reinforcement 16 abutting on the outer surface
And a fascia reinforcing member 17 which is in contact with the upper side surface of the fascia member 14.
No. 99755).

[0005]

However, in the conventional bumper structure as shown in FIG. 5, when a downward load is applied to the upper surface 3a of the bumper fascia body 3 carelessly, for example, For example, when performing maintenance work inside the engine room and looking into the engine room while supporting the body with the hand on the upper surface 3a, the cantilevered upper retainer 7 alone cannot support the load and the bumper fascia body 3 is indicated by a dotted line. The head lamp 4 was deformed as shown in the figure, and the head lamp 4 was further pushed down through the garnish 11, and the aiming (sighting) of the head lamp 4 was sometimes disturbed.

In the conventional example shown in FIGS. 6 and 7,
The opening reinforcing member 16 and the fascia reinforcing member 17 are fixed to the upper side surface of the fascia member 14, and the lower portion thereof is not supported at all. Therefore, when a downward load is applied to the fascia member 14 carelessly, There is a problem that the opening reinforcing member 16 is easily pushed down, and the reinforcement of the tubular portion 15 cannot be achieved.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and is configured so that a load applied to a full-face bumper is supported by a vehicle body. The purpose is to provide something that does not adversely affect the headlamp system, and the gist is that the upper support arranged on the back of the bumper fascia body and the lower support arranged below the headlamp And the lower support is connected to a vehicle body so as to surround the headlamp, and a full-face bumper structure for a vehicle.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in FIGS. FIG. 1 is an exploded view of a vehicle to which the full-face bumper structure according to the present invention is applied, FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the full-face bumper structure, and FIG. 3 is an assembled front view of the full-face bumper structure.

In the figure, reference numeral 20 denotes a soft bumper facer body, and an opening 22 of a headlamp 21 is formed in the bumper facer body 20 in a cylindrical shape. 22b is the lower surface of the opening 22 between the upper end of the bumper fascia body 20 and the rear end 20b.

Reference numeral 23 denotes an upper support for preventing deformation due to thermal expansion. The upper support 23 is disposed inside a folded portion of the upper edge portion 22a of the headlamp opening 22. An upper retainer 24 is disposed at the rear end portion 20b. The upper support 23 and the upper retainer 24 are fixed by stud bolts 25 and nuts 26. Although not shown, the upper retainer 24 is fixed to the vehicle body 27 in a cantilever state.

Numeral 28 denotes a cylindrical headlamp garnish disposed between the headlamp 21 and the headlamp opening 22. The cylindrical headlamp garnish is fixed to the upper retainer 24 by a connecting plate 29. The upper support 23 fixed to 24 extends in the vehicle width direction above the headlamp garnish 28, and stud bolts 30 are fixed to the left and right ends by welding.

Reference numeral 31 denotes a lower support, which is fixed to the rear end of the lower surface 22b of the headlamp opening 22 at the lower portion of the headlamp garnish 28 by a fixed retainer 32 and a support bracket 33. The lower support 31 extends in the vehicle width direction and is bent left and right upward, and is attached to the upper support 23 by nuts 34 screwed to the stud bolts 30 at horizontal portions at both ends. As a result, the upper support 23 and the lower support 31 are formed in a frame shape so as to surround the headlamp garnish 28.

An extension bracket 35 of the vehicle body 27 is fixed to the support bracket 33 by screwing a stud bolt 36 and a nut 37 together. In addition. In the figure, reference numeral 38 denotes a hood.

The load applied to the upper surface portion 20a of the bumper fascia body 20 is reduced by the upper retainer 24.
And upper support 23 to lower support 31, support bracket 33, extension bracket 3
5 and transmitted to the vehicle body 27, thereby sufficiently supporting the load. Therefore, since it does not affect the headlamp garnish 28 and, consequently, the headlamp 21, it is possible to set a large opening in the soft full-face bumper. Faisha bumper can be provided.

[0015]

[Effect of the Invention] As described above, the full fascia bumper structure for a vehicle according to the present invention includes the upper support disposed on the back surface of the bumper fascia body and the lower support disposed below the headlamp. When the lower support is connected to the vehicle body so that the lower support is connected to the vehicle body, the upper support and the lower support connected to the frame shape serve as a reinforcing material and a protective material for binding the headlamp system, Moreover, since the load applied to the bumper fascia body is transmitted from the upper support to the vehicle body via the lower support, the head lamp system is not adversely affected. Therefore, it is possible to set a large opening in a soft full-face bumper that could only set a small opening shape such as a turn signal lamp in the past.
In addition, there is another effect that a full-facial bumper having a strong and rigid feeling can be obtained.
