【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、自動車に適するラジエータ支持装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
一般に自動車のラジエータは、ラジエータ本体の上側と下側がラジエータコアサポートパネルによってそれぞれ固定支持されるようになっている。
【0003】
ラジエータ本体の上側を支持する支持部材としては、例えば、図7に示すようにクランク状にプレス形成された帯板状の金属製支持ブラケット101とマウント用の弾性部材103と取付けボルト105とを有し、支持ブラケット101は、ラジエータ107の上部取付ピン109をラジエータコアサポートパネル111のアッパーパネル部113に固定支持する支持機能を備えている。
【0004】
具体的には、支持ブラケット101の一方は、取付けボルト105及びナット115によってラジエータコアサポートパネル111のアッパーパネル部113に固定支持されている。
【0005】
支持ブラケット101の他方は、弾性部材103を介してラジエータ107の上部取付けピン109が固定支持される構造となっている。
【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ラジエータ107の上側は、ラジエータコアサポートパネル111のアッパーパネル部113に固定支持するにあたり、支持ブラケット101、弾性部材103、取付けボルト105、ナット115等が必要となり、部品点数が多くなる。また、各部材を位置決めし取付けボルト105を挿入するところから、組付けに時間がかかり、作業性及びコストの面において望ましくない。
【0007】
しかも、取付けボルト109を締付ける際に、締付けトルクの管理を怠ると弛みが発生し易くなると共に、片持ち構造となるため、支持剛性の面でも望ましくなかった。
【0008】
また、支持ブラケット101は、支持ブラケット取付け領域の外に、弾性部材103を介してラジエータを支持するラジエータ支持領域が必要となる。加えて、弾性部材103を支持するためのバーリング穴の加工及び強度を持たせるためにフランジを立上げるプレス加工を行なうため、どうしても全体形状が大型化し、大きな取付けスペースを必要とする。
【0009】
そこでこの発明は、部品点数が少なく、組付性及び支持剛性の面で優れるラジエータ支持構造を提供することを目的としている。
【0010】
【課題を解決するための手段】
前記目的を達成するために、この発明にあっては、第1に保持クリップ(21)に、上側保持体(29)及び下側保持体(27)を上下に対向して設ける一方、ラジエータコアサポートパネル(1)を合成樹脂からなるアッパーパネル部(5)とロアパネル部(7)とアッパーパネル部(5)及びロアパネル部(7)の両サイドをつなぐサイドパネル部(9)とにより一体成形し、前記ロアパネル部(7)によってラジエータ(3)の下部を支持した前記ラジエータコアサポートパネル(1)のアッパーパネル部(5)に、前記保持クリップ(21)の下側保持体(27)が通過し、上側保持体(29)の通過が阻止されるクリップ取付孔(19)と、前記クリップ取付孔(19)を貫通した保持クリップ(21)の下側保持体(27)が所定角度回転し位置決めストッパー(33)と当接して位置決めされた時、前記下側保持体(27)の戻り方向への回動を阻止する戻りストッパー(35)とを設け、前記ラジエータ(3)の上部取付けピン(37)に、弾性部材(39)を介してクリップ取付孔(19)の上方から前記下側保持体(27)が貫通し、上側保持体(29)が前記アッパーパネル部(5)の上側に当接するまで保持クリップ(21)を挿入しその保持クリップ(21)を、所定角度回動して前記アッパーパネル部(5)に対し上側保持体(29)と下側保持体(27)とによって上下から挟みつける状態で固定支持することを特徴とする。
第2に、保持クリップ(21)に、上側保持体(29)及び下側保持体(27)を上下に対向して設ける一方、ラジエータコアサポートパネル(1)を合成樹脂からなるアッパーパネル部(5)とロアパネル部(7)とアッパーパネル部(5)及びロアパネル部(7)の両サイドをつなぐサイドパネル部(9)とにより一体成形し、前記ロアパネル部(7)によってラジエータ(3)の下部を支持した前記ラジエータコアサポートパネル(1)のアッパーパネル部(5)に、前記保持クリップ(21)の下側保持体(27)が通過し上側保持体(29)の通過が阻止されるクリップ取付孔(19)と、前記クリップ取付孔(19)を通過した後所定角度回動した前記下側保持体(27)を前記クリップ取付孔(19)から上方へ抜け出る動きを阻止する位置で位置決めする位置決めストッパー(33)とを設け、前記ラジエータ(3)の上部取付けピン(37)に装着され、前記アッパーパネル部(5)を挟んでそのアッパーパネル部(5)の下部に弾性部材(39)及び前記下側保持体(27)が臨むと共に、前記アッパーパネル部(5)の上部に前記上側保持体(21)が臨み、前記アッパーパネル部(5)に対し上側保持体(29)と下側保持体(27)とによって上下から挟みつける状態で固定支持されることを特徴とする。
【0011】
これにより、合成樹脂によって一体成形されたラジエータコアサポートパネルのアッパーパネル部に設けられたクリップ取付孔に保持クリップを挿入し所定角度回転させると下側保持体は位置決めストッパーと当接し位置決めされる。この結果、下側保持体はクリップ取付孔に対してずれた位置となるため上方への抜けが阻止され、確実な固定支持状態が得るられようになる。しかも、部品点数保持クリップと弾性部材の2部品で済むと共に、大きな取付けスペースを必要としない。また、戻りストッパーによって位置決めされた保持クリップは抜け出ることはなく確実な保持状態が得られる
【0012】
また、ラジエータの上部取付けピンは、一体成形されたラジエータコアサポートパネルのアッパーパネル部のクリップ取付孔に支持されるため、片持ち構造にはならず、高い支持剛性が得られる。
【0013】
【発明の効果】
この発明のラジエータ支持構造によれば次のような効果を奏する。
【0014】
(1)保持クリップを挿入回動させると、クリップ取付孔を通過した下側保持部を位置決めストッパーによって正確に所定角度回動した位置の位置決めと戻りストッパーとによってクリップ取付孔から抜け出ることのない確実な固定支持状態を確保することができる。しかも、大きな取付けスペースを必要としない。
【0015】
(2)部品点数を少なくできるため、コストの面でも大変好ましいものとなる。
【0016】
(3)クリップ取付孔にラジエータの上部取付けピンを固定支持させることができるため、片持ち構造にならず、高い支持剛性を確保することができる。
【0017】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、図1乃至図6の図面を参照しながらこの発明の実施の形態について具体的に説明する。
【0018】
図1はラジエータコアサポートパネル1とラジエータ3の一部分を示した分解斜視図を示している。
【0019】
ラジエータコアサポートパネル1は、合成樹脂によって一体成形されていて、アッパーパネル部5とロアパネル部7とサイドパネル部9とから成っている。
【0020】
サイドパネル部9には、図外のバンパーのバンパーステーが取付けられるバンパーステー取付部11を有している。
【0021】
ロアパネル部7には、ラジエータ3のラジエータ本体の底部に設けられた下部取付けピン13がゴム製の弾性部材15を介して支持される左右一対の固定支持孔17が設けられている。
【0022】
アッパーパネル部5には、左右一対のクリップ取付孔19が設けられている。クリップ取付孔19は、保持クリップ21のクリップ主体部23が貫通する円形状の開口部25に、保持クリップに設けられた下側保持体27が貫通し、上側保持体29の貫通が阻止される内側が開口した切欠部31が対向するよう設けられた形状となっている。
【0023】
クリップ取付孔19の近接部位でアッパーパネル部5の裏面には、保持クリップ21の下側保持体27が前記クリップ取付孔19の通過後90度回動した位置で当接しその当接位置で位置決めされる位置決めストッパー33と、下側保持体27がテーパー面35aを乗り越えることで戻りが阻止される戻りストッパー35がそれぞれ設けられている。
【0024】
保持クリップ21は、合成樹脂の材質によって作られると共に、図3に示すようにクリップ主体部23に前記した下側保持体27と上側保持体29とを有している。下側保持体27は、垂直リブ27aによって支持された所定の厚みを有する板状に形成され、クリップ主体部23から同一軸線上に沿って左右に突出する形状となっている。
【0025】
下側保持体27の幅a及び長さbは、前記クリップ取付孔19の切欠部31の幅A及び長さBより若干小さく設定され、切欠部31に対して上方から支障なく貫通する形状となっている。
【0026】
上側保持体29は、所定の厚みを有する板状の形状で下側保持体27の軸線に対して直交するよう配置されており、クリップ主体部23から同一軸線上に沿って上下に突出する形状となっている。
【0027】
上側保持体29の幅Dは、前記クリップ取付孔19の切欠部31の幅Aより大きく設定され、切欠部31に対して貫通が阻止される形状となっている。
【0028】
また、上側保持体29から下側保持体27までの寸法Hはアッパーパネル部5のパネル厚とほぼ同一となっていて、上下からの挟持が可能となっている。
【0029】
一方、ラジエータ3は、ラジエータ本体3aの底部に前記した下部取付けピン13が、上部に上部取付けピン37がそれぞれ左右に配置されている。
【0030】
上部取付けピン37は、マウント用の弾性部材39を介して前記保持クリップ21のクリップ主体部29内に嵌挿支持されている。
【0031】
弾性部材39は、図2に示すようにゴム材でできていて中央部位に上部取付けピン37に対して挿入する挿入孔41を有すると共に、保持クリップ21のクリップ主体部23内に底部側から嵌合主体部43が嵌合される形状となっている。
【0032】
このように構成されたラジエータ3の支持構造において、ラジエータ3の取付け手順について説明する。
【0033】
まず、ラジエータ本体3aの下部取付けピン13を、ラジエータコアサポートパネル1のロアパネル部7の固定支持孔17に弾性部材15を介して挿入セットする。次に、ラジエータ本体3aの上部取付けピン37に弾性部材39を挿入する。挿入完了後、上部取付けピン37をアッパーパネル部5のクリップ取付孔19の真下に位置決めし、その上部取付けピン37に、クリップ取付孔19の上から保持クリップ21のクリップ主体部23を挿入する。このとき、下側保持体27が切欠部31を貫通し、上側保持体29がアッパーパネル部5の上面に当るまで挿入した後、保持クリップ21を90度回動させる。この回動により、下側保持体27は戻りストッパー35を乗り越えて、位置決めストッパー33と当接し位置決めされる。この結果、戻り方向への回動が阻止された状態で下側保持体27は切欠部31に対して直交し合い、上方への抜け方向の動きが確実に阻止される。同時に下側保持体27と上側保持体29によってアッパーパネル部5を上下から挟みつけ、アッパーパネル部5に対して上部取付けピン37,保持クリップ21一体となる確実な固定支持状態が得られる
【0034】
したがって、部品点数は、保持クリップ21と弾性部材39の2部品で済むと共に、保持クリップ21の下側保持体27は挿入・回転の操作時に、位置決めストッパー33によって抜け出る方向への動きが確実に阻止された状態で正確に位置決めされると共に取付け作業が迅速に完了し、作業性が大幅に向上する。しかも、支持ブラケットがない分、取付けスペースは小さくて済むようになる。
【0035】
また、上部取付けピン37は保持クリップ21によって片持ち構造になることなくクリップ取付孔19に支持されるため、高い支持剛性が得られるようになる。
【0036】
なお、この実施形態ではラジエータコアサポートパネル1及び保持クリップ21は合成樹脂の材質となっているが、金属製であってもよい。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a radiator support device suitable for an automobile.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In general, a radiator of an automobile is configured such that an upper side and a lower side of a radiator main body are fixedly supported by a radiator core support panel.
[0003]
As a support member for supporting the upper side of the radiator body, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, a strip-shaped metal support bracket 101 press-formed in a crank shape, a mounting elastic member 103, and a mounting bolt 105 are provided. The support bracket 101 has a support function for fixing and supporting the upper mounting pin 109 of the radiator 107 to the upper panel portion 113 of the radiator core support panel 111.
[0004]
Specifically, one of the support brackets 101 is fixedly supported on the upper panel portion 113 of the radiator core support panel 111 by a mounting bolt 105 and a nut 115.
[0005]
The other of the support brackets 101 has a structure in which an upper mounting pin 109 of the radiator 107 is fixedly supported via an elastic member 103.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The upper side of the radiator 107 requires the support bracket 101, the elastic member 103, the mounting bolt 105, the nut 115, and the like for fixing and supporting the upper panel portion 113 of the radiator core support panel 111, and the number of parts increases. Further, since each member is positioned and the mounting bolt 105 is inserted, it takes time to assemble, which is not desirable in terms of workability and cost.
[0007]
Moreover, when tightening the mounting bolt 109, if the tightening torque is neglected, loosening is likely to occur and a cantilever structure is formed, which is undesirable in terms of support rigidity.
[0008]
Further, the support bracket 101 needs a radiator support region that supports the radiator via the elastic member 103 outside the support bracket mounting region. In addition, since the burring hole for supporting the elastic member 103 is processed and press working is performed to raise the flange in order to give strength, the overall shape is inevitably enlarged and a large installation space is required.
[0009]
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a radiator support structure that has a small number of parts and is excellent in terms of assembly and support rigidity.
[0010]
[Means for Solving the Problems]

The holding clip (21) is inserted until it comes into contact with the upper side of the upper part), and the holding clip (21) is rotated by a predetermined angle to move the upper holding body (29) and the lower holding body ( 27) and fixedly supported in a state of being sandwiched from above and below.
Second, the holding clip (21) is provided with the upper holding body (29) and the lower holding body (27) facing each other in the vertical direction, while the radiator core support panel (1) is provided with an upper panel portion made of synthetic resin ( 5), the lower panel part (7), the upper panel part (5), and the side panel part (9) connecting both sides of the lower panel part (7), and the radiator panel (7) upper panel portion of the radiator core support panel supporting the bottom (1) to (5), passage of the upper retaining member passes through the lower holding member (27) of the holding clip (21) (29) is blocked The clip attachment hole (19) and the movement of the lower holding body (27) that has been rotated by a predetermined angle after passing through the clip attachment hole (19) to escape upward from the clip attachment hole (19). A positioning stopper (33) for positioning at a blocking position is provided and is mounted on the upper mounting pin (37) of the radiator (3), and the lower portion of the upper panel portion (5) with the upper panel portion (5) interposed therebetween The elastic member (39) and the lower holding body (27) face each other, and the upper holding body (21) faces the upper portion of the upper panel part (5), and the upper holding part is held on the upper panel part (5). It is fixed and supported in a state of being sandwiched from above and below by the body (29) and the lower holding body (27).
[0011]
Accordingly, when the holding clip is inserted into the clip mounting hole provided in the upper panel portion of the radiator core support panel integrally formed of synthetic resin and rotated by a predetermined angle , the lower holding body comes into contact with the positioning stopper and is positioned. . As a result, since the lower holding body is displaced with respect to the clip mounting hole, the lower holding body is prevented from being pulled upward, and a reliable fixed support state can be obtained. Moreover, the number of components together requires only 2 parts of the retaining clip and the elastic member, does not require a large installation space. Further, the holding clip positioned by the return stopper does not come out and a reliable holding state can be obtained .
[0012]
