Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea]

[Field of Industrial Application] This invention relates to the structure of a vehicle equipped with a resin body, and more particularly, to a vehicle configured so that the vehicle equipped with a resin body can be used in common as a hood-type vehicle.

[Prior art and its problems]

Vehicles used for off-road driving usually have a cargo bed behind the passenger compartment covered with a removable canopy or a resin body, depending on the type of vehicle. There is. For example, in the case of a top-spec vehicle, the rear proper portion of the hood is supported by the hood ribs, whose legs are rotatably supported on both side frames of the cargo bed, and the front edge of the hood is placed on the roll bar on both sides. By hooking the bottom hem to both side frames of the loading platform and the rear hem to the rear frame of the loading platform,
The hood is attached to the vehicle body. Further, in the case of a vehicle with a resin body, the resin body is attached to the vehicle body by fixing its end portion to an appropriate part such as a loading platform using bolt means or the like. Incidentally, in order to reduce manufacturing cost, there has been a desire to use a vehicle body with a resin body and a vehicle with a hood in common. however,
Due to the following problems, it is not possible to share the information.
The reality is that the realization of the above issues is desperately needed. This problem will be explained below using the drawings related to the present application. In other words, in a car with a resin body, as mentioned above, the resin body is fixed to the car body by screwing its end to the appropriate part of the car body, but the problem here is that the side frame of the cargo bed This is the mounting structure of the resin body. As shown in FIG. 3, an inward flange 6 extending inward in the vehicle width direction is integrally formed on the lower inner surface of the side wall 5 of the resin body 4. As shown in FIG. On the other hand, the top rail 3 of the side frame 2 of the loading platform 1 has the above-mentioned inward flange 6 on its upper surface.
A bolt hole 3a is provided as a mounting part for the inward flange 6, and by inserting a bolt 8 into the bolt through hole 6a or bolt hole 3a of the inward flange 6 and securing it with a nut, the inward flange 6 can be attached to a rubber It is fixed to the upper surface of the top rail 3 via a sheet member 7. In the figure, reference numeral 9 denotes a quarter window that is essentially provided on the side wall 5 of the resin body 4, and this requires an opening that is maximally enlarged in the vertical direction. In order to achieve such a flat surface structure between the quarter window 9 and the side wall 5, the resin body 4 usually has a concave portion 11 stepped inwardly provided in the side wall 5, thereby achieving the above-mentioned effect. The opening 10 of the quarter window 9 is configured so that the outer surfaces of the quarter window 9 and the side wall 5 can be positioned almost flush. Therefore, so as not to hinder the installation of the resin body 4, a paragraph is provided on the upper part of the outer side wall of the top rail 3 in a region corresponding to the recessed part 11 inward in the vehicle width direction. A section 3b is provided. In this way, in a car with a resin body, the loading platform 1
Since the above-mentioned paragraph 3b is provided on the top rail 3, a problem that cannot be overlooked occurs when attempting to attach the top to a vehicle with a resin body. That is, as shown in FIG.
When the top 12 is installed on a car with a resin body, the side skirts of the top 12 are attached to the hooks 19 attached to the stepped portion 3b, and the top 12 is attached to the hook 19, which is the fixing means for the car body. It will be fixed at For this reason, the side hems of the top 12 and the outer surface of the side frame outer panel 2a of the side frame 2 of the cargo platform 1 are not flush with each other, making it impossible to achieve a flat surface between the top 12 and the vehicle body. , it looks very bad. In order to solve this problem,
It is not inconceivable that the mounting position 9 may be set at the joint 3c between the top rail 3 and the side frame outer panel 2a, which is located below the stepped portion 3b and protrudes outward in the vehicle width direction. However, the fixing part of the top 12 to the loading platform 1 needs to be set as high as possible in the upper part of the loading platform 1 in order to minimize the bulge of the top 12 when attached to the vehicle body.
This cannot be adopted. Therefore, in the past, it was necessary to use different types of vehicle bodies with different designs in the cargo bed side frames for the resin body specification and the hood specification. The present invention was devised under the above-mentioned circumstances, and it solves the above-mentioned conventional problems.
The hood is configured so that it can be attached to a vehicle with a resin body while achieving a flat surface when attached to the vehicle body, and as a result, a vehicle with a resin body can also be used as a vehicle with a hood. The objective is to provide a structure for a vehicle with a resin body.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to solve the above problem, the present invention takes the following technical measures. In other words, the vehicle is configured to cover the cargo bed behind the roll bar with a resin body, and a mounting portion provided on the upper surface of the top rail of the side frame of the cargo bed is provided below the side wall of the resin body. The resin body is attached to the vehicle body by fixing an inward flange extending inward in the vehicle width direction, and a quarter window opening in the side wall portion of the resin body is attached to the outer side wall in the vehicle width direction of the top rail. A stepped portion is formed inward in the vehicle width direction in accordance with the recessed portion at a portion corresponding to the recessed portion formed in a stepped portion from the side wall portion toward the inner side in the vehicle width direction at the lower edge of the portion. In a vehicle equipped with a resin body, a fixing part is removably attached using a mounting part for fixing the resin body to the top rail, and an outer end of the fixing part in the vehicle width direction. a hood fixing flange portion extending downwardly so as to overlap outwardly in the vehicle width direction at a predetermined interval with respect to the stepped portion, and capable of detachably fixing the hem portion of the hood; A top fixing member is provided so that when the side hems of the top are fixed to the top, the top and the outer surface of the side frame of the cargo platform are located substantially flush with each other.

[Action and effect]

The vehicle with a resin body according to the present invention is provided with a hood fixing member that can be attached to and detached from the top rail of the cargo bed, and by attaching this hood fixing member, the vehicle with a resin body can be mounted on the hood without the problems of conventional methods. You can change the body to your specifications. In other words, in a vehicle equipped with a resin body, the top rail of the cargo bed has a paragraph that matches the recessed part at the lower edge of the opening, which is essential in order to maximize the opening of the quarter window on the side wall of the resin body. It has already been mentioned above that a section must be provided. The hood fixing member is provided with a hood fixing flange portion that overlaps at a predetermined interval outward in the vehicle width direction when attached to the loading platform. The hem portion of the carrier is configured so that it can be fixed so as to be positioned substantially flush with the outer surface of the side frame of the carrier. In other words, when the hood fixing member is attached, the lateral hem of the hood can be fixed to the top rail while achieving a flat surface between the outer surface of the side frame of the cargo bed and the hood in a vehicle with a resin body. It can be replaced with a vehicle with a hood designed in this manner. Therefore, in the present invention, even if a hood is attached to a vehicle with a resin body, it will not interfere with the flat surface design of the vehicle body, which is important from the perspective of reducing air resistance, as in the conventional example. , no problems such as deterioration of appearance occur. That is, as a result, the vehicle body can be used in both the case of the top specification and the case of the resin body specification, which can greatly contribute to cost reduction. Moreover, in the present invention, when fixing the fixing part of the top fixing member to the top rail of the cargo bed, the attachment part for the resin body can be used, so a new fixing means for the top fixing member is added to the vehicle equipped with the resin body. There is no need to provide one.

[Explanation of Examples]

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. Note that members equivalent to those in the conventional example are given the same reference numerals. The structure of the resin body vehicle of this example is such that the resin body vehicle is configured such that the resin body 4 covers the loading platform 1 behind the roll bar 13 as shown in FIG. It is characterized by providing a hood fixing member 14 that is attached to the top. The mounting structure for the resin body 4 and the basic structure of the vehicle are similar to those of the conventional example. As shown in FIG. 3, an inward flange 6 provided on the lower inner surface of the side wall portion 5 of the resin body 4 is inserted and fixed into a bolt hole 3a provided on the upper surface of the top rail 3. bolt 8
It is fixed to the top rail 3 via. Further, on the outer side wall of the top rail 3 in the vehicle width direction, a stepped portion 3b is provided inward in the vehicle width direction at a portion corresponding to the recessed portion 11 provided to constitute the opening 10 of the quarter window 9. is formed. Now, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the hood fixing member 14 is a member having a substantially L-shaped cross section and having approximately the same length in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body as the top rail 3 of the loading platform 1. As shown in FIGS. The hood fixing member 14 overlaps the fixing part 15 which is removably fixed to the top rail 3 of the loading platform 1 at a predetermined interval outwardly in the vehicle width direction with respect to the stepped part 3b. A hood fixing flange portion 16 is provided that extends downward from the outer end in the vehicle width direction of the fixing portion 15 at an angle of inclination substantially equal to that of the side frame outer panel 2a. A bolt through hole 17a is provided on the upper surface of the fixed portion 15.
An appropriate number of recessed bolt attachment portions 17 having a diameter are formed on the top rail 3 at positions corresponding to the bolt holes 3a provided at appropriate intervals. Then, the fixing portion 15 or the top fixing member 14 is fixed to the top rail 3 by inserting the bolt 18 into the bolt passage hole 17a or the bolt hole 3a and tightening it with a nut. On the other hand, the hood fixing flange portion 16 has a male hook 19 that can be fitted into the female hook 23 of the hood 12 at the same position in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body as the bolt attachment portion 17, and the bolt attachment portion projects in the vehicle width direction. 17
There are an equal number of... In this example, the size of the top fixing member 14 is determined by considering the positional relationship between the top fixing flange portion 16 and the side frame outer panel 2a of the loading platform 1, and also by considering the axial length of the male hook 19. As clearly shown in FIG. 2, the male hook 19 is attached to a hook attachment concave portion 20 provided on the outer surface of the hood fixing flange portion 16 or the fixing portion 15 at a position corresponding to the stepped portion 3b.
This allows the hood to be attached to 12
When the hood 12 is fixed to the hood fixing flange 16,
and the outer surface of the side frame outer panel 2a are arranged substantially flush with each other. Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, hooking members 21 are fixedly provided on the inner surface of the top fixing flange portion 16 in the vicinity of each of the hook attachment recesses 20. On the other hand, when the hood fixing member 14 is attached to the top rail 3, the hooking portion 21a of the hooking member 21 is attached to the joint portion 3c of the top rail 3 with the side frame outer panel 2a.
Support members 22 that are inserted between the outer surface and exhibit a hooking function with respect to the hooking portions 21a are provided at positions corresponding to the respective hooking members 21. This prevents the hood fixing flange portion 16 from bending due to the tensile force acting on the hood fixing flange portion 16 via the male hooks 19 when the hood 12 is removed from the hood fixing member 14. . The supporting members 22 are connected to the top fixing flange portion 16 when the top fixing member 14 is attached to the cargo bed 1, and also to attach the resin body 4 to the cargo bed 1.
When it is attached to a wall, it is covered by the side wall portion 5, so that it will not be exposed and cause problems in terms of design. In the vehicle with the resin body of this example equipped with the hood fixing member 14, as shown in FIG. 1, by attaching the hood fixing member 14 to the top rail 3,
Specifications can be changed to a vehicle with a hood. That is, in this case, the side hems of the top 12 that are fixed to the top fixing flange portion 16 via the female hooks 23 or male hooks 19 are placed almost flush with the side frame outer panel 2a of the cargo platform 3. The top 12 can be fixed to the side frame 2 of the loading platform 1 while achieving a flash surface between the top 12 and the vehicle body, just like a normal top-equipped vehicle. Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, when the top fixing member 14 is not installed, the resin body 4 and the vehicle body can be made into a flat surface as a vehicle with an original resin body. However, it can be attached to the loading platform 1. In this way, in the structure of the vehicle with the resin body according to this example, the hood 1 is achieved while achieving a flat surface, similar to the resin body 4.
2 can be attached to a vehicle equipped with a resin body, so it is possible to share a vehicle body with a resin body specification and a vehicle body with a hood specification, which has long been desired. Moreover, in this example, this is achieved with a simple structure such as providing the top fixing member 14, and there is no need to provide a separate fixing means for the top fixing member 14, and the conventional resin body Since the installed vehicle is used almost as is, it can contribute to a significant reduction in manufacturing costs. Note that the scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and a magic tape may be used as a means for fixing the top to the top fixing flange portion of the top fixing member. In this case, It is not necessary to provide a hook attachment recess at the portion of the hood fixing flange portion where the male hook is attached as in the above embodiment. Further, the hood fixing member may be formed by resin molding, which can be done at low cost, and its shape can be modified in various ways other than the above embodiments.
