As shown in FIG. The vehicle body part 4 extends along the vehicle front-rear direction and has an upper surface 4a, a vehicle inner side surface 4b, and a vehicle front surface 4c.

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 7, the fender bracket 5 in the vehicle front structure of the present embodiment has a lower bracket 6 made of sheet metal whose lower part is fixed to the vehicle body part 4, and a fender panel 3 is fixed to its upper part. The upper bracket 7 is made of sheet metal and has a two-story structure in which the upper bracket 7 is placed on top of the lower bracket 6 . The upper bracket 7 is arranged within the necessary clearance R for pedestrian protection, which is set so as to be separated from the hood outer panel 2a of the hood panel 2 toward the vehicle lower side (inside the engine room 10) by a predetermined distance. The side bracket 6 is arranged outside the required clearance R for pedestrian protection, and the upper bracket 7 is configured with lower rigidity than the lower bracket 6 .

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 7, the lower bracket 6 of the present embodiment includes a front-rear surface portion 61 extending in the vehicle vertical direction and the vehicle front-rear direction and positioned in the vehicle width direction. A width direction surface portion 62 extending in the width direction and positioned in the vehicle front-rear direction, and a top surface portion 63 extending continuously in the vehicle width direction and the vehicle front-rear direction from the upper end of the front-rear direction surface portion 61 and the upper end of the width direction surface portion 62, respectively. and The lower bracket 6 extends the lower portion 61a of the front-rear direction surface portion 61 downwardly of the vehicle and overlaps and joins the side surface 4b of the vehicle body component 4, and bends the lower portion 62a of the width direction surface portion 62 toward the front side of the vehicle to extend the lower portion 61a of the vehicle body. The upper surface 4a of the part 4 is overlapped and joined, and the joint piece 64 extending rearward of the vehicle from the rear portion of the top surface portion 63 is overlapped and joined to the upper surface 4a of the vehicle body part 4, thereby standing up from the upper part of the vehicle body part 4. provided in the state. Note that the front-rear direction surface portion 61 may be formed at least on the inner side of the vehicle, and the width direction surface portion 62 may be formed at least on the vehicle front side.
On the other hand, the upper bracket 7 of the present embodiment has a substantially crank-shaped cross section as a whole, and the lower portion 71 of the upper bracket 7 extends toward the inside of the vehicle substantially parallel to the top surface portion 63 of the lower bracket 6, It is fixed to the front and rear portions of the vehicle on the top surface portion 63 . The lower fixing portion 71a on the vehicle front side of the upper bracket 7 is provided at a position overlapping the front-rear direction surface portion 61 in the vehicle width direction and at a position overlapping the width direction surface portion 62 in the vehicle front-rear direction when viewed from above the vehicle. is provided in
The fender bracket 5 constituted by the lower bracket 6 and the upper bracket 7 having such a shape and positional relationship is capable of protecting pedestrians and is capable of moving the vehicle vertically, laterally, and laterally with respect to the vehicle body part 4 . It has a structure that allows position adjustment in all directions in the front and back direction.

As shown in FIGS. 3, 4, 6, and 7, the upper bracket 7 of the present embodiment is formed in a plate-like shape having a surface facing the width direction of the vehicle at the intermediate portion in the vertical direction of the vehicle. That is, the upper bracket 7 includes a first vertical wall portion 72 extending upwardly of the vehicle from a lower portion 71 including lower fixing portions 71a and 71b, and a first vertical wall portion 72 extending upwardly of the vehicle from the upper end of the first vertical wall portion 72 toward the inside of the vehicle. It has a first inclined wall portion 73 and a second vertical wall portion 74 extending upward from the upper end of the first inclined wall portion 73, and is formed in an overhang shape. Moreover, the upper bracket 7 has an upper portion 75 extending horizontally from the upper end of the second vertical wall portion 74 toward the outside of the vehicle. The fender panel 3 is fixed to the upper bracket 7 by tightening.
As a result, when an impact load is applied to the fender bracket 5 from above the vehicle, the first vertical wall portion 72 and the first inclined wall portion 73 of the upper bracket 7 become starting points for bending, and the upper bracket 7 is folded. It deforms to absorb the impact load, and pedestrian protection is realized.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, the second vertical wall portion 74 of the upper bracket 7 of the present embodiment is formed in an inclined surface shape so that the upper portion is positioned on the outside of the vehicle. The angle θ is set to, for example, 10 degrees to 12 degrees. The reason why the second vertical wall portion 74 is inclined in this way is that the rigidity of the upper bracket 7 is reduced by giving the second vertical wall portion 74 an inclination angle θ, which makes it possible to realize pedestrian protection. This is because If the inclination angle θ of the second vertical wall portion 74 is too small, the rigidity of the upper bracket 7 cannot be sufficiently lowered. It will drop the rigidity more than necessary.

Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the upper portion 75 of the upper bracket 7 of the present embodiment has a headlamp fixing portion 75a at the front portion on the front side of the vehicle. The outer rear portion of the headlamp 8 mounted on the front side of the vehicle is fixed through the mounting piece 31 of the fender panel 3 by a stay portion 81 and a fastening bolt (a fastener such as a screw may be used) 82 . That is, the structure is such that the upper bracket 7 is used to fix the outer rear portion of the headlamp 8 . Therefore, the stay portion 81 of the headlamp 8 rises upward from the upper surface of the outer rear portion of the headlamp 8, and has a length and width that allow it to overlap the front portion of the mounting piece 31 of the fender panel 3. It extends backwards.
2, 3, 5, and 6, below the headlamp fixing portion 75a, a fragile portion is arranged so as to straddle the first inclined wall portion 73 and the second vertical wall portion 74. A portion 76 is provided along the vertical direction of the vehicle. The fragile portion 76 can be formed by providing an opening or by making the plate thickness of the relevant portion thinner than the plate thickness of other portions. By providing the weakened portion 76 at such a position, the rigidity of the upper bracket 7 becomes lower than the rigidity of the lower bracket 6, and when a load is input from above the vehicle, the upper bracket 7 is easily deformed, and the input load is effectively applied. It is designed to absorb effectively.

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, the lower fixing portion of the upper bracket 7 of this embodiment has a front lower fixing portion 71a and a rear lower fixing portion 71b. 71a and the rear side lower fixing portion 71b are fixed on planes at different height positions. Therefore, the top surface portion 63 of the lower bracket 6 is formed such that the front flat portion 63a is positioned lower than the rear flat portion 63b, and a rearwardly rising inclined surface portion 63c is formed between the front flat portion 63a and the rear flat portion 63b. is formed, and a front flat portion 63a, an inclined surface portion 63c, and a rear flat portion 63b are continuously arranged in order from the front of the vehicle toward the rear of the vehicle. That is, the front flat portion 63a and the rear flat portion 63b are divided surfaces with the inclined surface portion 63c interposed therebetween, and do not have joint surfaces on the same plane. Moreover, the lower portion 71 of the upper bracket 7 is not joined to the top surface portion 63 of the lower bracket 6 on all surfaces.
As a result, the headlamp 8, which is a heavy component, is fixed to the headlamp fixing portion 75a on the vehicle front side of the upper portion 75 of the upper bracket 7, and the load in the direction in which the upper portion 75 tends to fall forward of the vehicle is applied to the headlamp fixing portion 75a. Since the front side flat portion 63a and the rear side flat portion 63b are not formed on a flat surface having the same height, the upper bracket 7 can resist the load, and the upper bracket 7 is difficult to separate from the lower bracket 6. , has an advantageous structure against delamination.

In addition, in the upper bracket 7 of the present embodiment, the bonding strength of the front side lower fixing portion 71a is set to be greater than the bonding strength of the rear side lower fixing portion 71b. For example, in the vehicle front structure of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. There are two points, and the front side lower fixing portion 71a has more welding points W than the rear side lower fixing portion 71b to increase the joint strength with the lower bracket 6. As shown in FIG. Further, the area of the front side lower fixing portion 71a is larger than the area of the rear side lower fixing portion 71b. That is, in the vehicle front portion structure of the present embodiment, the stability of the vehicle front portion 1 is achieved by increasing the joint strength of the front side lower fixing portion 71a to which a large load or the like is applied.

Furthermore, in the upper bracket 7 of the present embodiment, the front side lower fixing portion 71a and the rear side lower fixing portion 71b are shaped to have surfaces parallel to each other when viewed from the side of the vehicle, as shown in FIGS. formed. In the upper bracket 7 of the present embodiment, the front side lower fixing portion 71a and the rear side lower fixing portion 71b are formed on horizontal planes with different height positions, but they may be formed on inclined planes with the same angle. Therefore, the upper bracket 7 is installed at a predetermined position by moving the front lower fixing portion 71a and the rear lower fixing portion 71b on the lower bracket 6 so as to adjust the positions in the vehicle longitudinal direction and the vehicle width direction. It is possible to fix it by
On the other hand, the upper surface 4a, which is the portion of the vehicle body part 4 that overlaps the lower bracket 6 of the fender bracket 5, is formed in an inclined surface shape such that the rear side of the vehicle is higher than the front side of the vehicle. Therefore, the lower bracket 6 adjusts the position in the vertical direction of the vehicle by moving the joining piece 64 of the front-rear direction surface portion 61, the width direction surface portion 62, and the top surface portion 63 along the inclined surface (upper surface 4a) of the vehicle body component 4. It is possible to install and fix at a predetermined position.

3 and 5 to 7, a hood is provided on the second vertical wall portion 74 of the vehicle vertical direction intermediate portion of the upper bracket 7 in the present embodiment, on the upper portion of the vehicle front and rear direction center portion. A cushion stay 9 is fixed. The hood cushion stay 9 is an inverted L-shaped part that is fixed to the lower surface of the hood inner panel 2b that constitutes the hood panel 2 and that receives the hood cushion 21 that has functions such as shock absorption when the hood panel 2 is closed. , a fixing piece 91 fixed to the second vertical wall portion 74 and an abutment piece 92 abutting on the hood cushion 21 . On the other hand, openings 76 and 77 are provided in the front and rear portions of the upper bracket 7 in the middle portion thereof in the vertical direction of the vehicle, with the hood cushion stay 9 interposed therebetween. The front opening 76 is provided on the vehicle front side of the hood cushion stay 9 and is configured as the weakened portion described above. The rear opening 77 is provided on the vehicle rear side of the hood cushion stay 9 and configured as an additional fragile portion. is formed in
As a result, the upper portion of the second vertical wall portion 74 of the upper bracket 7 to which the hood cushion stay 9 is fixed has a certain degree of deformation so as not to be deformed by a normal load from above (such as being pushed by a hand or pushing a load). It is a structure that satisfies the condition that it needs to be rigid, but it must be deformed by the load from the pedestrian at the time of collision. That is, when a load is applied from above the vehicle, the upper bracket 7 is easily deformed when the load applied to the hood panel 2 is applied to the upper bracket 7 via the hood cushion stay 9 .

Thus, in the vehicle front structure according to the embodiment of the present invention, the fender bracket 5 is fixed to the vehicle body component 4 of the vehicle front portion 1 and the fender panel 3 is attached to the fender bracket 5 . The fender bracket 5 is composed of a lower bracket 6 whose lower part is fixed to the vehicle body part 4 and an upper bracket 7 whose upper part the fender panel 3 is fixed to. The lower bracket 6 includes a front-rear surface portion 61 extending in the vehicle vertical direction and the vehicle front-rear direction and positioned in the vehicle width direction, and a front-rear surface portion 61 extending in the vehicle vertical direction and the vehicle width direction and extending in the vehicle front-rear direction. and a top surface portion 63 extending continuously in the vehicle width direction and the vehicle front-rear direction from the upper end of the front-rear surface portion 61 and the upper end of the width-direction surface portion 62, respectively. Also, the upper bracket 7 is configured with lower rigidity than the lower bracket 6 .
