Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial field of application and purpose The present invention relates to a water drainage structure for a resin door hinge cover that is fitted over a door hinge that protrudes from the outer panel of a vehicle. The purpose is to remove standing water, which is a predisposing factor for outbreaks.

Prior Art A resin cylindrical door hinge cover with a top plate and a bottom plate is fitted onto the door hinge part that protrudes from the outer panel of the vehicle body for safety and to improve appearance. Because there is no
Water that had entered through the cutout in the cover body had accumulated in the gap between the door hinge and the cover.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention The above-mentioned accumulated water is a predisposition to rust on the door hinge, so it is preferable to remove it quickly.

Means for Solving the Problems In view of the above-mentioned points, the present invention is a resin cylindrical door hinge cover that is fitted over the door hinge part that protrudes from the outer panel of the vehicle body and has a top plate and a bottom plate that cover the part. In the door hinge cover bottom plate, a drainage groove is provided on the inner surface of the bottom plate.

Effect With this configuration, water that has entered the door hinge cover flows down to the bottom of the cover through the gap between the door hinge and the cover, is guided to the drainage groove in the bottom plate, and flows out to the outside, so that the water that enters the door hinge cover flows down to the bottom of the cover through the gap between the door hinge and the cover, and is guided to the drainage groove on the bottom plate and flows out to the outside. Water does not accumulate, and therefore the gap between the cover and the door hinge portion is drained well, and the accumulated water in this area is also wiped away, thereby completely removing the accumulated water that is a predisposing factor for the occurrence of rust.

Embodiment FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the water drain structure of the door hinge cover for an automobile according to the present invention, FIG. FIG. 2 is a partially enlarged sectional view taken along the line - in FIG. 2; In the figure, 1 is the vehicle body, 2 is the right door, 3 is the left door, 4 is the respective hinges of the right and left doors 2 and 3, and as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the outer panel of the vehicle body 1 is A hinge mail 6 is rotatably supported by a hinge pin 7 via a bush 8 between the upper and lower hinge members 5, which are more protruding.

As shown in FIG. 1, the door hinge cover 9 that is fitted over the door hinge part 4 is a cylindrical body made of resin with a top plate 10 and a bottom plate 11 both shaped like an aubergine. A notch 13 necessary for fitting into the door hinge 4 and a notch 14 necessary for opening the door 2 or 3 are provided on the rear side and one side thereof.

The present invention provides a spherical convex portion 15 on the inner surface of the eggplant-shaped bottom plate 11 of such a door hinge cover 9 so as to create an appropriate gap between it and the lower surface of the hinge cover 5.
are provided facing substantially the center of the end surface of the hinge pin 7, and a drain groove 16 having an appropriate slope is provided from the base of the protrusion 15 to the lower end opening of the notch 13.

In this way, the water that has flowed down to the bottom of the cover 9 passes through the gap between the hinge 5 and the bottom plate 11 and falls into the drainage groove 16, and is discharged along the slope of the bottom of the groove. 11, it is possible to prevent backflow and clogging of the hole caused by water and mud rolled up by the tires while the vehicle is running.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention provides a resin cylindrical door hinge cover having a top plate and a bottom plate that are fitted over a door hinge portion that protrudes from the outer panel of a vehicle body and that cover the door hinge portion. A convex part is provided on the inner surface of the hinge member, and the convex part is provided in contact with approximately the center of the lower end surface of the hinge member, and the water drain is inclined from the base of the convex part to the lower end opening of the notch for fitting into the door hinge part. Since the groove is provided, it can wipe out accumulated water at the bottom of the cover that causes rust on the door hinge, significantly improving the rust prevention ability of the door hinge. This has the effect of preventing water from flowing into the area.
