Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the adhesion of a front windshield glass with a buffer function given to cowl structure by bridgingly fixing plural reinforcing plates to an upper and lower pair of cowl top outer panels and a cowl top inner panel, and forming plural closed cross sections. CONSTITUTION:In the upper outer panel 2 of a cowl 1, a rearward folded part 2a is joined to the folded part 4a of an inner panel 4, and a forward folded part 2b is joined to the front edge part 5a of a reinforcing plate 5 respectively. A folded part 5b is joined to the inner surface of the inner panel 4 with the reinforcing plate 5, and closed cross sections 7 are provided in a space with the upper outer panel 2. Moreover, the front edge part 4b of the inner panel 4 is held between each folded part 3a and 8a to a lower outer panel 3 and a dash panel 8 so as to be joined. The upward folded part 3b of the lower outer panel 3 is joined to the front edge part of another reinforcing plate 6a, and the folded part 6b of the reinforcing plate 6 is joined to the inner surface of the inner panel 4 respectively to form other closed cross sections 9.

Means for Solving the C0 Problem The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to maintain the bonding state between the front windshield and the vehicle body cowl even if the vehicle receives a large impact from the front. The purpose is to provide a cowl structure for an automobile that can maintain the condition of the cowl, and the gist thereof is to bond a front windshield to the meeting area of one of the cowl top outer panel and cowl top inner panel, and to join the dash panel to the other meeting area. In this structure, the cowl top outer panel is composed of two upper and lower members, and a reinforcing plate is fixed across the lower end of the upper cowl top outer panel and the cowl top inner panel to form a closed section. This is because another reinforcing plate is fixed across the upper end of the cube panel and the cowl top inner panel to create another closed section.

FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line A-A shown in FIG. , 6. The upper cowl top outer panel 2 has a rear bent portion 2a connected to the bent portion 4a of the cowl top inner panel 4, and a front bent portion 2b connected to the reinforcing plate 5.
There are four welds on the front edge portions 5a of each. Further, the reinforcing plate 5 is constructed by welding the bent portion 5b to the inner surface of the cowl top inner panel 4, and
A closed section 7 is formed between the cowl top inner panel 4 and the cowl top inner panel 4. On the other hand, the front edge 4b of the cowl top inner panel 4 is inserted between the bent portions 3a and 8a of the lower cowl top outer panel 3 and the dash panel 8, and welded 4.
It is a combination. The upper bent portion 3b of the lower cowl flap outer panel 3 is welded to the front edge 6a of another reinforcing plate 6, and the bent portion 6b of the reinforcing plate 6 is welded to the inner surface of the cowl top inner panel 4. It is. Thereby, the reinforcing plate 6 forms a closed cross section 9 between the lower cowl top outer panel 3 and the cowl top inner panel 4. A front windshield 10 is provided at the meeting point of the upper cowl top outer panel 2 and the cowl top inner panel 4.
The lower end portions of the two are bonded via an adhesive layer 11. In the figure, 12 is an engine, and 13 is a front hood.

Since the present embodiment is configured in this manner, even if the engine 12 moves rearward and collides with the lower part of the cowl 1 when the automobile receives a large impact from the front, the lower closed section 9 of the cowl 1 is As shown in the figure, the upper part of the cowl 1 is not pushed backwards significantly because it collapses and absorbs the impact energy. Therefore, the adhesive strength of the front windshield 10 is improved as a result.
