Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an upper vehicle body structure of an automobile in which the rear side of the upper part of the vehicle compartment is covered by a rear hood.

(Prior Art) As the upper structure of this type of automobile, a generally inverted U-shaped collapsible pillar is spanned between both side walls of the vehicle body.
It is known that a roof panel is removably installed between the top of the collapsible pillar and the top of the windshield. (Refer to British Published Patent No. 2086316) In this structure, the collapsible pillar can rotate around its both leg ends from an upright position to a tilted position stored in the passenger compartment behind the seat. Generally, a hood is stretched between the collapsible pillar and the rear part of the vehicle compartment. When the collapsible pillar is placed in the upright position, the rear side of the vehicle interior from the collapsible pillar is covered by a hood, and in this state, a roof panel is placed between the collapsible pillar and the windshield to form the vehicle roof. be able to.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) In such a structure, the ends of the canopy stretched between the collapsible pillar and the rear part of the vehicle body cannot be separated into the collapsible pillar and the rear part of the vehicle body, respectively. If it is installed, when attempting to tilt the collapsible pillar to store it in the passenger compartment behind the seat, the tension of the hood will cause the collapsible pillar to not fall properly. Particularly when a glass window is disposed in the rear central part of the top, it is practically difficult to completely collapse the collapsible pillar. This problem can be resolved by increasing the length of the hood in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body and installing a link inside for attaching the hood, but this requires the provision of a new link for attaching the hood, and it also affects the design of the vehicle. This method is not necessarily preferable due to demands from the public.
The object of the present invention is to solve this problem and provide a rear hood structure that allows the collapsible pillar to be compactly stored in a storage area at the rear of the vehicle body.

(Means for Solving the Problem) In order to solve this problem, the present invention has a substantially inverted U-shape, and is provided with a cable that spans between both side walls of the vehicle body and is rotatable in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body centering on both leg ends. With the fallen pillar,
In an open-top automobile that is provided with a roof panel that can span between the top of the collapsible pillar and the top of the windshield to form a vehicle roof, the collapsible pillar is provided with a roof panel on the rear side of the vehicle body. A housing portion for the pillar is formed, and the collapsible pillar has a first position in which the front portion of the vehicle body of the roof panel can be spanned over the top of the windshield to form a vehicle roof, and a first position in which the front portion of the vehicle body of the roof panel can be spanned over the top of the windshield to form a vehicle roof; The collapsible pillar is rotatable at least between a second position where the collapsible pillar can be stored, and a rear hood that covers an upper part of the vehicle compartment on the rear side of the collapsible pillar is detachably attached to the collapsible pillar. The end of the rear hood on the rear side of the vehicle body has a double structure consisting of an outer hood that forms the outer surface of the vehicle interior and an inner hood that forms the interior surface of the vehicle interior, and the outer hood is removably attached to the vehicle body. and
The inner hood is fixed to the vehicle body at all times, and the rear hood can be separated and stored in the storage section, and the collapsible pillars are arranged so that the rear hood can be separated and stored in the storage section. It is characterized in that it is stored in the storage section from above.

(Effect of the invention) In the invention configured as described above, the collapsible pillar and the rear hood are separably connected, so when the collapsible pillar is tilted, it is necessary to separate the collapsible pillar and the rear hood. As a result, the collapsible pillar can be easily stored alone in the passenger compartment behind the seat without being affected by the rear top.
Furthermore, since the collapsible pillars are folded down and stored on top of the rear hood that has been stored in the storage compartment first, the collapsible pillars and the rear hood can be stored compactly in the storage compartment. . In addition, in cases where the rear central window of the rear hood is made of glass, when the rear hood is folded, the glass is located in the center of the tilted, almost inverted-shaped collapsible pillar, so the glass can be folded down. It is not damaged by the pillars and is further protected by the collapsible pillars.

Furthermore, in this invention, the end of the rear hood on the rear side of the vehicle body has a double structure consisting of an outer hood and an inner hood, and the outer hood is removably attached to the vehicle body, so the rear hood can be placed inside the storage area. When folded into
This outer hood can be removed from the vehicle body and the collapsible pillars can be stored on top of it. By separating the outer top from the vehicle body in this manner, the collapsible pillar can be completely stored in the storage area at the rear of the vehicle body. In other words, if the ends of the rear hood are folded together to form a hood, it is necessary to make the tilting pillars stand up and form the shape of the hood when the hood is stretched. There is a possibility that there will be interference between the end of the hood and the end of the hood, resulting in problems such as if the collapsible pillar cannot be lowered sufficiently. In this invention, the shape of the canopy is essentially formed by the outer side of the double-layered canopy end, and the inner canopy has a structure with extra length so that it can be stored in the folding pillars. This makes it possible to prevent the above-mentioned problems as much as possible.

Furthermore, by forming the rear hood end, that is, the attachment portion to the vehicle body, into a double structure, a double seal function can improve the sealing performance between the hood end and the vehicle body.

(Example) Examples of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

A roof panel extends between the top 7 of the collapsible pillar 1 and a front header 9 forming the upper end of the windshield 8. The roof panel 6 and the collapsible pillar 1 are connected via a hinge mechanism 20, as will be described later. Next, 11 is a rear hood, which is stretched between the collapsible pillar 1 and the rear body 12. This hood 11 has a retractable pillar 1
A fastener 13 extending in the vehicle width direction is attached near the rear of the vehicle, and the fastener 13 allows the top 11 to be separated into a portion 11a on the side of the collapsible pillar 1 and a portion 11b on the rear side of the vehicle. It is becoming. Further, a rear window 14 is attached to the center portion of the rear hood 11. 1
Reference numeral 5 denotes a storage section provided in the vehicle interior below the rear hood 11, and the collapsible pillar 1, roof panel 6, and rear hood 11 can be stored in this storage section 15. That is, the collapsible pillar 1 is rotatable between an upright position (covered state) as shown in FIG. 3A and a tilted position (open state) as shown in FIG. 3C. For storage, first, as shown in Figure 3B, remove the fasteners 13 to separate the rear hood 11, and store the rear section 11b in the storage section 15 located below the vehicle body (under the hood). situation). Next, the front end of the roof panel 6 is removed from the front header 9, and the collapsible pillar 1 is tilted toward the rear of the vehicle body. In this rotational movement, the roof panel 6
Since it is connected via the hinge mechanism 20,
As the collapsible pillar 1 rotates, it moves toward the rear of the vehicle body. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3C, the collapsible pillar 1 falls down almost horizontally, and the storage section 15
When the foldable pillar 1 and the roof panel 6 are in the tilted position, the collapsible pillar 1 and the roof panel 6 can be stored in a state where the roof panel 6 is folded between the legs. In FIGS. 1 and 2, the states of the collapsible pillar 1, roof panel 6, and canopy 11 when stored are shown by two-dot chain lines.

Hinge Mechanism Next, the hinge mechanism that connects the collapsible pillar 1 and the roof panel 6 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 8B.

The collapsible pillar 1 and the roof panel 6 are the left and right two
The figure shows the hinge mechanism 20 that connects the leg portion 3 of the collapsible pillar 1 and the roof panel 6. As shown in the figure, the hinge mechanism includes a first link 202 that is rotatable about a first rotation axis 201.
It is of a two-hinge type having a second link 204 that is rotatable around a second rotating shaft 203.
At the center of the first link 202, there is an engagement groove 206 for the slide pin 205 attached to the collapsible pillar leg 3.
is formed. The second rotation shaft 203 is attached to the tip of this first link 202, and the second
The link 204 has a second rotating shaft 2 at its center.
It is pivoted to 03. The end surface 209 of the second link 204 is latched by a latching portion 210 formed at the tip of the first link 202.
Only rotation in the direction is possible. The lower end 212 of the second link 204 is held by a receiving member 213 attached to the slide pin 205, and the tip 214 is fixed to the side of the roof panel 6 on the rear end side of the vehicle body. Also, the second link 20
4, the first link 202 and the slide pin 205
A protrusion 215 is formed for releasing the engagement state.

Next, the assembly of the slide pin 205 will be described in detail. As shown in FIGS. 6 to 7B, this pin assembly has a front panel 205a attached to the inner panel 101 of the collapsible pillar 1, and a sliding groove extending in the vertical direction of the vehicle body formed in the panel 205a. A slide pin 205 protrudes from 205b. On the back side of the panel 205a, there is a slide pin 20 as shown in FIG. 7B.
5 guide groove 205c is formed parallel to the sliding groove 205b, and the slide pin 205 has a rectangular guide plate 20 that slides along this guide groove 205c.
5d, the amount of protrusion of the slide pin 205 from the panel 205a is constant, and the pin 205 itself is prevented from rotating. Further, a moving groove 205f for the base end 205e of the slide pin 205 is formed following the guide groove 205c, and a spring 205g is inserted into this moving groove 205f, as shown in FIG. The spring always urges the slide pin 205 toward the upper side of the vehicle body. Further, the protruding direction of the slide pin 205 is set to be substantially horizontal. Next, the receiving member 213 attached to the tip of the slide pin 205 will be explained. This member 213 has a substantially trapezoidal shape, its lower base side is fixed to the slide pin 205, and its upper base side is inclined downward toward the front of the vehicle body. Further, both side surfaces are bent upward to form a sliding surface 214 of the lower end 212 of the second link 204.

The operation of the hinge mechanism configured in this way is described in the eighth section.
This will be described with reference to Figures A and 8B. FIG. 8A shows the state in which the collapsible pillar 1 is in the upright position.
In this state, the engagement groove 2 of the first link 202
Since the slide pin 205 is engaged with 06,
The first link 202 centered on the first rotating shaft 201
rotation is prevented. Also, the second link 20
4 is engaged with the protrusion 210 of the first link 202, so rotation toward the rear of the vehicle body around the second rotating shaft 203 is prevented, and rotation in the opposite direction (arrow 216) is prevented. is prevented as long as the front end of the roof panel 6 engages with the front header 9. In this state, when the roof panel 6 is removed from the front header 9 and the collapsible pillar 1 is pushed down toward the vehicle body while tilting backward, the roof panel 6 rotates about the second rotation axis 203 in the direction of arrow 216. That is, the second link 204 moves in the direction of the arrow 21 with the second rotating shaft 203 as the center.
rotates in six directions, and this rotation causes the second link 20
The end 212 of 4 moves on the sliding surface 214 toward the slide pin 205 while pushing down the receiving member 213 in the direction of the arrow 217. As a result, the slide pin 205 to which the receiving member 213 is attached is
It moves in the sliding groove 205b against the spring force of the spring 205g.

Next, when the roof panel 6 rotates by a predetermined amount, as shown in FIG. 8B, the slide pin 205
moves to a position where it is removed from the engagement groove 206 of the first link 202. In this state, the tip 218 of the protrusion 215 of the second link 204 is connected to the collapsible pillar 1.
It abuts against the inner panel 101 forming the top part 7 of. Therefore, from this state, the roof panel 6
When rotated, the first link 202 is rotated by the second link 204 using the protrusion tip 218 as a fulcrum in the direction of arrow 219 around the first rotating shaft 201, and the slide pin 20 is completely removed from within the engagement groove 206.
5 comes off. After this, the second and second rotating shafts 20
The first and second links 202 and 204 respectively rotate about 1 and 203, and the roof panel 6 is folded toward the collapsible pillar 1 side.

As described above, in this example, until the collapsible pillar 1 and the roof panel 6 are connected via the two-hinge type hinge mechanism and the roof panel 6 rotates a predetermined amount, the rotation axis is centered around the second rotation axis 203. rotates with a small rotation radius via the second link 204 as
Thereafter, it is configured to rotate around the first rotation shaft 201 via the first and second links 202 and 204 at a large rotation radius.

Therefore, the rear end of the roof panel 6 is connected to the seal member 3.
The roof panel 6 can be stored inside the collapsible pillar 1 in the folded state, as shown in FIG. In detail, for example, as shown in FIG. 9, when a single type hinge mechanism 20' is used, the roof panel 6
There is a risk that both ends 6a and 6b of the pillar 1 may overlap the front surface 102 of the collapsible pillar 1 on the vehicle body front side. On the other hand, in the case of the two-hinge type, the rotation radius of the end of the roof panel relative to the collapsible pillar 1 can be increased, so the front surface of the collapsible pillar
02 and the roof panel 6 can be avoided.
