Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] The present invention relates to a mounting structure for a headlamp cover that is openable and closable on the top of a headlamp that is attached to the front part of a vehicle so that it can freely appear and retract. .

[Conventional technology]

Recent passenger cars have adopted a retractable headlamp structure in which the headlamp is housed within the vehicle body during the day and exposed at night due to design requirements and the purpose of reducing air resistance.

Examples of this prior art include those shown in FIGS. 4 to 6. That is, in the drawing, A is a bonnet that can be opened and closed at the front of the vehicle, and headlamp covers B are provided on both sides of the front of the bonnet A (only the left side is shown in the drawing), which can be opened and closed. A headlamp (not shown) is housed under the headlamp cover B so that it can move in and out of the bonnet A. Note that the rear end of the headlamp cover B is
As shown in FIG. 6, the hinge C is rotatably bolted to the bonnet A.

Here, attach the headlamp cover B to the bonnet A.
When assembling the bonnet A and the headlamp cover B, as shown in Fig. 5, the gap between the bonnet A and the headlamp cover B and the level difference between the two must be kept constant. It is necessary to ensure that Conventionally, in order to ensure these qualities, shims (thin adjustment plates) were used when assembling the headlamp cover B.
The assembly work was carried out by visually checking and adjusting the gap and level difference between the hood and the bonnet A.

As another conventional example, there was a device as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 59-58641.

That is, in the drawing, A is a lid (headlamp lamp cover), which is rotatably supported by a lid base B projecting downward from the lower surface of the lid with respect to a support arm D of an assembly base C. This assembly base C is fixed to a mounting seat (not shown) on the body side with bolts E. Further, by fixing at least two points of the assembly base C to the body side with screws F, the accuracy of the mounting position is maintained. Note that in the drawings, G represents a bonnet.

Furthermore, in recent years, a vehicle having a structure as shown in FIG. 9 has been developed. That is, in the drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes a full-shaft assembly installed in front of a body 2, and headlamp covers 3 having a retractable headlamp structure are provided on the left and right sides (only the left side is shown in the drawings) of the full-shaft 1, which can be opened and closed. Although not shown, a headlamp is housed in the lower part of the headlamp cover 3 so as to be freely retractable. 4 is a bonnet, and 5 is a front fender apron.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, in the conventional examples shown in FIGS. 4 to 6,
Aligning the headlamp cover B with the parts located around it or ensuring the quality of the combination, that is, ensuring a certain gap and level difference, is difficult because the headlamp cover B itself opens and closes. In addition, assembling work was carried out while visually checking these items by adjusting shims, which resulted in poor productivity and easy variation among workers.

Also, in the devices shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 59-58641, the installation adjustment of the assembly base C to the body side is
Since this was done visually, the same drawbacks as in the conventional example described above arise.

Furthermore, in the case where a retractable headlamp structure is attached to a part of the full face 1 as shown in FIG. 9, the full face 1 is generally made of resin, so the headlamp cover 3 cannot be directly fixed there. . Therefore, Fulfasia 1
Since the headlamp cover 3 and the headlamp cover 3 have to be assembled separately to the strength members of the body 2, there is a drawback that the element of variation between the two increases.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention has been developed to solve the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and its gist is to fix the retainer to the rear end of the full facetia, and to make the rear end of the headlamp cover rotatably pivotable. The headlamp cover mounting structure is configured such that the full fascia and the headlamp cover are fixed to the body via the retainer and the hinge portion, respectively.
