Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a vehicle body structure in which a cold air intake port for sucking cold air into a carburetor is provided in an atsupah frame outer.

In a car body structure in which a front fender inner and a front fender outer are fixed to the Atsupa frame outer and a cavity is formed between the inner and outer, the Atsupa frame outer is used to suck cold air into the carburetor. A device equipped with a cold air intake port is known. This is configured to guide cold air taken in from the front end side to the cold air intake port via the cavity.

However, the upper end of the front fender outer fixed to the Atsupa frame outer is watertightly sealed to the Atsupa frame outer, but if a small gap occurs due to lack of sealing material,
There is a risk that water that has entered between the hood and the fender will flow through the upper frame outer, flow into the cavity through the gap, and flow into the cold air intake port. Furthermore, since the lower ends of the front fender inner and front fender outer communicate with the tire house, water or muddy water splashed from the tires may enter the cavity.

This idea was devised by paying attention to the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to prevent the water flowing through the Atsupa frame outer from flowing into the cold air intake port even if it flows down into the cavity, and to prevent the water from flowing through the tires from flowing into the cavity. The objective is to provide a vehicle body structure that can prevent splashing water or muddy water from entering the cavity.

This invention will be explained below based on an embodiment shown in the drawings. In FIGS. 1 to 3, 1 is an upper frame outer, and 2 is a front side member. Atsupa frame outer 1 and front side member 2 have headlamp supports 3 at their ends.
is provided. Further, a fender 4 is provided between the upper frame outer 1 and the front side member 2, and a hood 5 is provided on the upper frame outer 1, 1 (only one is shown). The upper frame outer 1 has a substantially inverted L-shaped cross section, with a horizontal surface 6 formed on one side and an inclined surface 7 formed on the other side. A rising portion 8 is formed at the edge of the horizontal surface 6 of the Atsupa frame outer 1, and the water flowing on the horizontal surface 6 flows into the engine room 9.
It is designed so that it does not flow into the water. Further, the lower end edge of the inclined surface 7 of the Atsupa frame outer 1 is connected to a front fender inner 10 constituting the fender 4.
It is fixed by welding to the upper end of. Further, a front fender outer 11 is provided on the outside of the above-mentioned Atsuppa frame outer 1 and the front fender inner 10 with a space therebetween, and the upper end of this front fender outer 11 is connected to the horizontal surface 6 of the above-mentioned Atsupa frame outer 1 through a sealing material 12. and the lower end is the front fender inner 10
is fixed. Therefore, a cavity 13 is formed within the fender 4, and a cold air intake port 14 that opens into the cavity 13 is provided in the inclined surface 7 of the upper frame outer 1. This cold air intake port 14 is provided with a connection port body 15 that projects toward the engine room 9 side, and a flexible pipe 16 that connects to a carburetor (not shown) is connected to this connection port body 15. Furthermore, a jetty 17 is integrally provided on the Atsupa frame outer 1 , that is, the horizontal surface 6 and the inclined surface 7 located at the upper edge and side edge of the cold air intake port 14 , so that water flowing on the horizontal surface 6 of the Atsupa frame outer 1 is provided. A jetty 17 prevents the cold air from flowing into the cold air intake port 14.

On the other hand, a tire house 19 that surrounds the tire 18 is provided at the lower part of the fender 4, and a waterproof plate 21 is attached to the front fender inner 10 that forms the ceiling part 20 of the tire house 19. . This waterproof plate 21 closes the gap 22 formed between the lower end portions of the front fender inner 10 and the front fender outer 11, and
The water and muddy water splashed from 8 is in the cavity 13 of Fuender 4.
prevents it from invading.

When it rains or when a car is washed, water flows from the gap 23 between the fender 4 and the hood 5 and flows on the horizontal surface 6 of the upper frame outer 1 toward the front end. At this time, the water flowing on the horizontal surface 6 tends to flow down toward the inclined surface 7, but since at least the vicinity of the cold air intake port 14 is surrounded by the jetty 17, the water does not flow into the cold air intake port 14. Therefore, even when driving in rainy weather, rainwater is completely prevented from entering the cold air intake port 14, and the carburetor is not adversely affected by water.

As explained above, this invention provides a jetty on the Atsupah frame outer located at least on the upper edge of the cold air inlet to reliably prevent water flowing on the upper surface of the Atsupah frame outer from flowing into the cold air inlet. be able to. Further, since the waterproof plate is provided between the lower ends of the front fender inner and front fender outer, it is possible to prevent water splashing from the tires and muddy water from entering.
