  However, in the above-described hinge device, it is necessary to provide a plurality of peaks, and it is not easy to simplify the configuration.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a vehicle dual undercover that can be reliably operated while protecting the hinge portion with a simple structure.

The hinge device according to claim 1 is a vehicle undercover that is a resin member that includes a resin member main body and a hinge device integrally formed with the resin member main body, and is attached to a lower portion of a vehicle body. , and one body part, and the other body portion to be fixed, integrally example Bei and a hinge portion connecting one of the main body portion so as to be rotatable with respect to the other body part, the one and other body The part has one and other restricting surface parts extending in directions away from the hinge part, and the hinge part has one hinge main body part having one restricting surface and another restricting surface. The first hinge main body portion, the one hinge main body portion, and the other hinge main body portion are connected to each other at a predetermined angle so that the one restriction surface and the other restriction surface face each other. And the one hinge body part and the one body part. The second weak part that can be bent, and the other hinge main body part and the other main body part are connected to the other restricting surface. And a third weak part that can be bent so that the other restricting surface part is connected to each other continuously, and the distance between the first weak part and the third weak part is the first weak part. It is set larger than the distance between the weak part and the second weak part.

Vehicle undercover for the second aspect, in the vehicle undercover according to claim 1, wherein the strength of the first weak portion, one that is set smaller than the intensity of the second and third weak section is there.

Vehicle undercover for according to claim 3 is the vehicle undercover according to claim 1, wherein the first weak portion, the coupling and one of the hinge main body and the other of the hinge main body so as to form an acute angle And the second and third weak parts connect the one and other hinge body parts and the one and other body parts such that the one and other restriction surface parts and the one and other restriction surfaces form an obtuse angle, respectively. It is connected .

According to the vehicle undercover according to claim 1, the one hinge main body and the other hinge main body are connected at a predetermined angle so that the one restricting surface and the other restricting surface face each other. Therefore, the deformation amount of the first weak part is suppressed by rotating the one main body part with respect to the other main body part and deforming the first weak part so as to contact the one and other regulating surfaces. The first weak part can be protected. In this state, the distance between the first weak part and the third weak part is larger than the distance between the first weak part and the second weak part, so that the other restricting surface is relative to the one restricting surface. Therefore, by rotating the one main body part further with respect to the other main body part and deforming the second weak part so as to come into contact with the other restricting surface and the one restricting surface part, The deformation amount of the second weak part is suppressed, and the second weak part can be protected. Further, in this state, the third weak part is deformed by further rotating the one main body part with respect to the other main body part to deform the third weak part so as to contact the one and other restricting surface parts. The amount is suppressed and the third weak part can be protected. As a result, the rotation angle of the hinge portion can be distributed to the first to third weak portions, and the hinge portion can be reliably operated while being protected with a simple configuration . Then, by arranging one of the one and other main body portions at a desired location of the vehicle, one of these one and other main body portions can be rotated with respect to the other by the hinge portion to easily reach the desired location. It becomes accessible .

According to the undercover for a vehicle according to claim 2, in addition to the effect of the undercover for a vehicle according to claim 1, the strength of the first weak portion is set smaller than the strength of the second and third weak portions. Therefore, a preferable deformation characteristic of the hinge portion in which the first weak portion is bent before the second and third weak portions is easily realized.

According to the vehicle undercover described in claim 3, in addition to the effect of the vehicle undercover described in claim 1 or 2, the rotation angle of the first weak portion is regulated to an acute angle by one and other regulating surfaces. The rotation angle of the second weak part is regulated to an acute angle that is an obtuse angle by the other regulation surface and the one regulation surface part, and the third weak part is pivoted by the one and other regulation surface parts. Since the angle is regulated to an acute angle that is an obtuse complementary angle, the amount of deformation of the first to third weak parts can be further suppressed, and the first to third weak parts can be more reliably protected .

The rotating part 22 is attached to the vehicle body so as to face the lower part of the part.

  The fixing portion 21 can have any shape depending on the shape of the portion to be covered, etc., but in the present embodiment, for example, the fixing portion main body 27 having a longitudinal direction in the vehicle width direction, that is, a horizontally long fixing portion main body 27 and this fixing It is formed in a plane L shape integrally including a protrusion 28 extending rearward from one side of the rear part 27. The rotating portion 22 is connected to the other side of the rear portion of the fixed portion main body 27 via the hinge device 15 so as to extend rearward. Therefore, a notch 29 for avoiding interference with a structure such as a vehicle body is formed between the protruding portion 28 and the rotating portion 22 along the front-rear direction, and the cover body 16 has a planar inverted U shape. ing.

  The protruding portion 28 is formed so that the rear portion, that is, the distal end portion is narrower than the proximal end portion. Further, the projecting portion 28 has a tip portion extending rearward from the rotating portion 22.

  The rotating part 22 is formed in a shape symmetrical with the protruding part 28 in the vehicle width direction, for example. That is, the rotating portion 22 is formed so that the rear portion, that is, the distal end portion is narrower than the proximal end portion.

  The bead portion 23 is formed in an intersecting manner along the vehicle width direction and the front-rear direction over the entire fixed portion main body 27, the protruding portion 28, and the rotating portion 22.

  The attachment portion 24 is for fixing the cover main body 16 to the vehicle body or the like by an attachment member (not shown) such as a bolt, and is formed as a round hole as an attachment point, for example. And these attachment parts 24 are the outer edge part of the fixing | fixed part main body 27 of the fixing | fixed part 21, the side edge part and front-end | tip part (rear end part) by the side of the anti-rotation part 22 of the protrusion part 28, and the rotation part 22 A plurality of openings are provided spaced apart from each other on the side edge portion and the front end portion (rear end portion) on the anti-projection portion 28 side.

  The oil pan 26 is formed in a thin saucer shape using, for example, a heat-resistant metal, and has a longitudinal shape, that is, a horizontally long shape along the vehicle width direction. Then, the oil pump is driven using the rotational force of the crankshaft, and the engine oil in the oil pan 26 is sucked up through the strainer and pumped to each part of the engine to lubricate and cool each part. The engine oil that has been cooled or cooled is dropped and collected in the oil pan 26. In addition, a drain discharge hole (not shown) is formed in the bottom of the oil pan 26 that faces the rotating portion 22, and the drain discharge hole is liquid-tightly closed by a drain bolt 26a as an opening / closing member. In the present embodiment, the drain bolt 26a is positioned behind the oil pan 26 and is inclined toward the rear lower side. The drain bolt 26a is loosened when exchanging engine oil or the like so that a drain discharge hole is opened, and engine oil can be discharged downward from the drain discharge hole.

  The hinge device 15 includes a rotating main body portion 31 as one main body portion integrally formed with a front end portion that is a base end portion of the rotating portion 22, and a rear edge portion of the fixing portion main body 27 of the fixing portion 21. A fixed main body part 32 as another main body part integrally formed on the other side and a hinge part 33 for connecting the main body parts 31 and 32 are integrally (integrally) provided.

  The rotation main body 31 is formed in a flat plate shape, for example. It is arranged along the horizontal direction. That is, the lower surface (general surface) which is one main surface of the rotation main body portion 31 is a rotation restriction surface portion 35 as a flat one restriction surface portion along the horizontal direction.

  The fixed main body portion 32 is formed, for example, in a flat plate shape, and is disposed along the horizontal direction. That is, the lower surface (general surface) which is one main surface of the fixed main body portion 32 is a fixed restricting surface portion 37 as another restricting surface portion having a planar shape along the horizontal direction.

  The rotation restricting surface portion 35 and the fixed restricting surface portion 37 extend in a direction away from the hinge portion 33. In other words, the rotation restricting surface portion 35 and the fixed restricting surface portion 37 are located on opposite sides of the hinge portion 33.

  The hinge part 33 includes a rear body part 41 as one hinge body part located on the rear side that is the rotating body part 31 side, and another hinge body part located on the front side that is the fixed body part 32 side. A front main body portion 42, a bendable first weak portion 43 connecting these main body portions 41, 42, and a bendable second weak portion 44 connecting the rear main body portion 41 and the rotating main body portion 31. And a bendable third weak part 45 that connects the front body part 42 and the fixed body part 32, so-called triple hinge structure, and protrudes upward in a cross-sectional view in a vertical plane along the front-rear direction. Inverted V shape (triangular shape) which is a mountain shape. Accordingly, the cover body 16 (under cover 10) does not have a portion protruding downward as a whole.

  The rear main body 41 is formed in, for example, a flat plate shape, and the rear surface (front surface), which is one main surface facing the front main body 42, is a rear surface as one restricting surface that is inclined upward toward the front. It is a side regulation surface 47.

  The front main body portion 42 is formed in, for example, a flat plate shape, and a lower surface (rear surface) that is one main surface facing the rear main body portion 41 is a front side as another regulating surface that is inclined upward toward the rear. It is a regulatory surface 49.

  The first weak portion 43 is a curved portion (thin portion) formed thinner than the main body portions 41 and 42 of the hinge portion 33, and is formed such that the lower side continuous with the regulating surfaces 47 and 49 is recessed. It is located in the upper end part of the parts 41 and 42 (regulating surfaces 47 and 49). Therefore, by the first weak part 43, the regulating surfaces 47 and 49 are continuous with each other, and the main body parts 41 and 42 can be rotated in the front-rear direction. In addition, the main body portions 41 and 42 (regulating surfaces 47 and 49) are inclined with respect to the first weak portion 43 by approximately 30 ° in the front-rear direction at substantially the same angle, in this embodiment, less than 45 °. The main body portions 41 and 42 (regulating surfaces 47 and 49) are connected in a mountain shape so as to have an acute angle (angle α1) forming approximately 60 ° which is a (first) predetermined angle. That is, the first weak portion 43 is a so-called mountain fold that is bent so as to protrude upward. The first weak portion 43 is located on the front upper side of the second weak portion 44 and on the rear upper side of the third weak portion 45. That is, the first weak part 43 is located between the second and third weak parts 44 and 45 in the front-rear direction.

  The second weak portion 44 is a curved portion (thin portion) formed thinner than the main body portions 41 and 42 of the hinge portion 33, and is formed with a concave upper side, and a lower end portion of the rear main body portion 41 and It is located at the front end of the rotating main body 31. In other words, the second weak portion 44 is bent in the opposite direction to the first weak portion 43, that is, a valley fold. Therefore, the rear side restricting surface 47 and the turn restricting surface portion 35 are continuous with each other by the second weak portion 44, and the back side main body portion 41 and the turn main body portion 31 can turn in the vertical direction. ing. Further, with respect to the second weak portion 44, the rear main body portion 41 and the rotation main body portion 31 have an obtuse angle in which the rear restriction surface 47 and the rotation restriction surface portion 35 are at a (second) predetermined angle. Are connected to form a shape (angle α2). In the present embodiment, the angle α2 is approximately 120 °, and the angle α3 that is a complementary angle (180−α2) of the angle α2 is approximately 60 ° that is an acute angle.

  The third weak part 45 is a curved part (thin part) formed thinner than the main body parts 41 and 42 of the hinge part 33, the upper part is formed to be recessed, and the lower end part and the fixed part of the front main body part 42 are fixed. It is located at the rear end of the main body 32. That is, the third weak portion 45 is a so-called valley fold that is bent in the opposite direction to the first weak portion 43. Accordingly, the third weak portion 45 allows the front restriction surface 49 and the fixed restriction surface portion 37 to be continuous with each other, so that the front main body portion 42 can be rotated in the vertical direction with respect to the fixed main body portion 32 fixed to the vehicle body. It has become. Further, with respect to the third weak portion 45, the front main body portion 42 and the fixed main body portion 32 have an obtuse angle (angle α4) in which the front restriction surface 49 and the fixed restriction surface portion 37 have a (third) predetermined angle. ). In the present embodiment, the angle α4 is approximately 120 ° that is substantially equal to the angle α2, and the angle α5 that is a complementary angle (180−α4) of the angle α4 is approximately 60 ° that is approximately equal to the angles α1 and α3. ing.

  In the present embodiment, the first weak portion 43 is set to be thinner than the second and third weak portions 44 and 45, for example, so that the strength is the second and third weak portions. It is set smaller than the intensity of 44 and 45. Further, the distance L1 between the first weak portion 43 and the second weak portion 44 (the distance between the first and second weak portions 43 and 44 of the rear side regulating surface 47) L1 is the first weak portion. The distance between 43 and the third weak part 45 (the distance between the first and third weak parts 43, 45 of the front regulating surface 49) is set smaller than L2 (the distance L2 is larger than the distance L1). ing. Therefore, the length of the front regulating surface 49 is longer than the length of the rear regulating surface 47 and shorter than the sum of the lengths of the rear regulating surface 47 and the rotation regulating surface portion 35, and the rotation regulating The surface portion 35 (the second weak portion 44 and the rotating main body portion 31) is positioned above the fixed restricting surface portion 37 (the third weak portion 45 and the fixed main body portion 32). That is, a vertical surface difference (distance) D is generated between the rotation restricting surface portion 35 (the turning main body portion 31) and the fixed restricting surface portion 37 (the fixed main body portion 32).

  The under cover 10 is normally fixed to the vehicle body side via an attachment member at each attachment portion 24 and covers the lower part of the engine room, preventing sound leakage from the engine room and reducing the air resistance at the lower part of the vehicle body. Reduce or protect the lower part of the engine room from rocks and water that has sprung up.

  In addition, for example, when the engine room needs to be accessed from below due to engine oil replacement work or the like, for example, at the position of the lower part of the jacked up vehicle body, the edge of the rotating part 22 After removing the mounting member at the position of the mounting portion 24, the rotating portion 22 of the under cover 10 is rotated relative to the fixed portion 21 to expose the lower portion of the oil pan 26, and the drain bolt 26a is loosened. And drain the engine oil in the oil pan 26. After this, the drain bolt 26a is tightened, and the rotating part 22 is returned to the original position by rotating downward, backward and upward in the reverse order to the above operation, and is rotated using the mounting member at the position of the mounting part 24. The part 22 is fixed to the vehicle body, and new engine oil is replenished.

  At this time, when the worker first turns the turning portion 22 (turning main body portion 31) downward, the first of the first to third weak portions 43, 44, and 45 having the smallest strength. The weak part 43 of the hinge part 33 is elastically bent and deformed, and the rear side regulating surface 47 of the rear side body part 41 of the hinge part 33 is the fixed part 21 (fixed body part 32) side. The first weak portion 43 is deformed so that the approximately 60 ° rotating portion 22 (rotating main body portion 31) having an angle α1 is rotated to a position where the regulating surface 49 comes into contact with the regulating surface 49 (FIG. 2 ( a)). That is, the rear main body portion 41 and the front main body portion 42 are connected in a mountain shape at a predetermined angle by the first weak portion 43 so that the rear restriction surface 47 and the front restriction surface 49 face each other. By deforming the first weak part 43 so that the regulating surfaces 47 and 49 are brought into contact with each other, the deformation amount of the first weak part 43 is suppressed, and the first weak part 43 can be protected.

  In this state, the distance L2 between the first weak part 43 and the third weak part 45 is longer than the distance L1 between the first weak part 43 and the second weak part 44. The front side restricting surface 49 protrudes from the rear side restricting surface 47, and the second weak part 44 (rear side body part 41 (rear side) is formed at the lower part of the position where the front side restricting surface 49 comes into contact with the second weak part 44. A protruding portion 49a, which is a surplus portion protruding downward with respect to the regulating surface 47)), is formed.

  Subsequently, when the worker turns the turning portion 22 (turning main body portion 31) forward, the deformation of the second weak portion 44 is restricted by the front main body portion 42. The position at which the rotation angle is regulated by the (front regulating surface 49), that is, the position where the rotation regulating surface portion 35 and the protruding portion 49a of the front regulating surface 49 contact, in other words, the rear regulating surface 47 (the protruding portion 49a or The angle α3, which is a complementary angle of the angle α2, that is, the approximately 60 ° rotation portion 22 (the rotation main body portion 31) is rotated so that the front restriction surface 49) and the rotation restriction surface portion 35 are flush with each other. 2 weak part 44 deform | transforms (FIG.2 (b)). Therefore, the deformation amount of the second weak portion 44 is suppressed, and the second weak portion 44 can be protected. In this state, the second weak portion 44 has a substantially flat shape, and maintains a state in which the second weak portion 44 is in contact with the front side regulation surface 49 at a position above the third weak portion 45. Further, the anti-second weak portion 44 side of the rotation restricting surface portion 35 protrudes downward from the protruding portion 49a.

  Further, when the operator rotates the rotating portion 22 (the rotating main body portion 31) upward, the deformation of the third weak portion 45 is restricted by the rotation restricting surface portion 35 protruding below the protruding portion 49a. Therefore, the position where the rotation angle is restricted by the rotation main body 31 (the rotation restriction surface part 35), that is, the position where the rotation restriction surface part 35 and the fixed restriction surface part 37 are in contact, in other words, the rear side restriction. The angle α5 that is a complementary angle of the angle α4 to the position where the surface 47 (front restriction surface 49) and the rotation restriction surface portion 35 and the fixed restriction surface portion 37 are flush with each other, that is, approximately 60 ° rotation portion 22 (rotation) The third weak part 45 is deformed so that the main body part 31) rotates (FIG. 2C). As a result, the deformation amount of the third weak portion 45 is suppressed, and the third weak portion 45 can be protected.

  In this state, the third weak portion 45 is also substantially flat like the second weak portion 44, and the rotating portion 22 (the rotating main body portion 31) is substantially the same as the fixed portion 21 (the fixed main body portion 32). The rotation portion 180 (= α1 + α3 + α5) is rotated, and the rotation portion 22 (the rotation main body portion 31) is overlapped with the lower portion (fixation restricting surface portion 37) of the fixing portion 21 (fixed main body portion 32). Thus, the lower part of the oil pan 26 is exposed downward.

  In this way, as the operator continuously rotates the rotation unit 22 (the rotation main body unit 31) from the lower side to the front and the upper side around the hinge device 15, the hinge unit 33 sequentially operates. Since the first to third weak parts 43, 44, 45 are deformed by angles α1, α3, α5, the rotation by the hinge part 33 is distributed to each of the weak parts 43, 44, 45, and the hinge part 33 is dispersed. Can be reliably operated while being protected with a simple configuration. Therefore, for example, even when the synthetic resin is cured in winter or in a cold region, or when the hinge portion 33 is repeatedly bent, an appropriate and reliable operation of the hinge portion 33 can be obtained.

  Moreover, by setting the angles α1, α3, and α5 to approximately 60 °, respectively, the rotation portion 22 (the rotation main body portion 31) is fixed to the fixed portion 21 (while suppressing the deformation amount of each weak portion 43, 44, 45. It is possible to easily realize the hinge device 15 that can be rotated by about 180 ° with respect to the fixed main body portion 32). That is, even if a large rotation angle is set for the hinge device 15, the weak portions 43, 44, 45 can be reliably protected.

  Further, since the strength of the first weak portion 43 is set to be smaller than the strength of the second and third weak portions 44 and 45, the first weak portion 43 is more than the second and third weak portions 44 and 45. The preferable deformation characteristics of the hinge portion 33 that bends first can be easily realized.

  Further, the rotation angle of the first weak portion 43 is restricted to an acute angle (angle α1) by the restriction surfaces 47 and 49, and the rotation angle of the second weak portion 44 is restricted by the front restriction surface 49 and the rotation restriction surface portion 35. Is restricted to an acute angle (angle α3) that is a complementary angle of the obtuse angle (angle α2), and the rotation angle of the third weak part 45 is an auxiliary angle of the obtuse angle (angle α4) by the restriction surface portions 35 and 37. Since the angle is regulated to (angle α5), the deformation amount of the first to third weak parts 43, 44, 45 is further suppressed, and the first to third weak parts 43, 44, 45 are more reliably protected. it can.

  Then, by arranging the rotating part 22 (the rotating main body part 31) at a desired location of the vehicle, in the present embodiment, at a position below the oil pan 26, the rotating part 22 (the rotating main body part 31) is arranged. The fixed portion 21 (fixed main body portion 32) is rotated by the hinge portion 33 so that a desired location can be easily accessed.

  In addition, since the hinge device 15 is integrally formed with the cover body 16 and the synthetic resin, it is not necessary to set a separate part or the like, and the cost can be further reduced.

  Furthermore, since the lower part of the hinge device 15 (cover body 16) does not have a portion protruding downward, the aerodynamic performance is not deteriorated and can be suitably used as the under cover 10.

  In the above embodiment, FIG. 2 shows the operation of the hinge device 15 stepwise for the sake of clarity. However, the next operation is not necessarily performed after one operation is completely completed. The next operation may start in parallel immediately before the end of each operation.

  Further, the hinge device 15 may be arbitrarily provided at a necessary position, for example, between the fixed portion main body 27 and the protruding portion 28 of the fixed portion 21. In other words, the opposed portion exposed by the rotation of the rotating portion 22 (the rotating main body portion 31) is not limited to the oil pan 26, and may be any member that requires access for maintenance or the like.

  Further, a surface difference D is generated in the vertical direction between the rotation restricting surface portion 35 of the rotation main body portion 31 and the fixed restricting surface portion 37 of the fixed main body portion 32. For example, the angles α1, α2, and α3 are appropriately set. By adjusting, the rotation restricting surface portion 35 and the fixed restricting surface portion 37 can be positioned on the same plane.

Further , each of the weak portions 43, 44, 45 may be configured to be easy to bend by forming holes intermittently, such as perforations, in addition to the configuration in which the weak portions are made thin .

  The present invention can be suitably used for, for example, a vehicle under cover that covers a lower portion of an engine room of an automobile.
