Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] [Industrial application field]

This invention relates to the structure of a resin body in a vehicle equipped with a resin body, and more specifically, the appearance of the resin body is improved by preventing the opening edge of the back panel that surrounds the opening of the back window of the resin body from being exposed. The present invention relates to a device configured to improve the performance of the vehicle and to reliably seal the backwind opening.

[Conventional technology]

In off-road vehicles, etc., the resin body that covers the cargo bed behind the roll bar is attached to the appropriate part of the vehicle body, such as by bolting the flange provided at the lower part of the inner surface of the side wall to the top rail of the cargo bed. It can be attached to the vehicle body by fixing the ends. usually,
On both side panels of such a resin body,
A quarter window is provided, and the back panel is provided with a back window opening for a back window provided to ensure rear visibility for the driver. A backwind glass of a backwind is generally attached to a side-opening tailgate of a cargo platform, and is fitted into the backwind opening to close the backwind opening. The general structure of the backwind part of such a resin body is as follows:
This will be explained below. That is, the back window opening is defined by being surrounded by the opening flange of the back panel of the resin body. In addition, in the resin body, there is usually a shape of the opening of the back window opening from the inner surface of the roof panel or both side panels at the back of the opening flange part, and when viewed from the rear of the vehicle. A sealing material mounting flange is integrally formed and extends until it is exposed inside the opening. A retainer member having a substantially L-shaped cross section and having a shape corresponding to the opening of the backwind opening and the sealing material mounting flange is fixed to the sealing material mounting flange by screwing its base end. A weather strip is attached to the flange extending rearward from the base end of the retainer member, and the weather strip contacts the inner surface of the back window glass over its entire length in the longitudinal direction. It is sealed.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

By the way, as mentioned above, with a resin body,
The backwind is closed by fitting the backwind glass into the backwind opening, so there is a slight gap between the two.
Furthermore, the opening of the back window opening is defined only by the opening flange of the back panel. For this reason, the end of the opening flange portion of the back panel is inevitably visible at the back window opening, resulting in a problem that the rear appearance of the resin body or the vehicle body on which it is mounted is impaired. In particular, when the back window is opened, the end of the opening flange portion of the back panel is exposed, resulting in a significant deterioration in aesthetics and a significant loss of texture. In addition, the retainer member for attaching the weather strip is fixed to the support panel mechanically, that is, by bolting, so the watertightness between the support panel and the retainer member can be maintained constant for a long period of time due to loosening of the bolts, etc. As a result, it was difficult to ensure perfect sealing at the backwind opening. The present invention was devised under the above-mentioned circumstances, and improves the appearance of the resin body and the rear of the vehicle by preventing the end of the back panel from being exposed at the back window opening.
An object of the present invention is to provide a structure of a resin body configured to reliably seal a back window opening.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to solve the above problem, the present invention takes the following technical measures. That is, it includes a roof panel, both side panels, and a back panel, and is attached to the vehicle body so as to cover the cargo bed behind the roll bar, and a back window glass attached to the side-opening tailgate of the cargo bed is attached to the back panel. A back window opening into which the back window is fitted and closed is formed, and a back window opening that corresponds to the shape of the back window opening is formed from the inner surface of the roof panel and both side panels at the back of the opening flange portion of the back panel that surrounds the back window opening. In the resin body integrally formed with a sealing material mounting portion extending to be exposed inside the back window opening when viewed from the rear of the vehicle body, a fixing portion fitted into a tip portion of the sealing material mounting portion; a sealing part that is integrally formed on the rear part of the fixing part and elastically abuts against the inner surface of the backwind for sealing; and a molding part that is fitted onto and covers the opening edge of the opening flange part, and The present invention is characterized in that a sealing member is provided which integrally connects the fixing portion and the molding portion with a telescopic connecting portion.

[Action and effect]

The sealing member has a sealing portion that can come into contact with the inner surface of the backwind glass and perform a sealing function against it, so when the backwind opening is closed when the backwind glass is fitted into the opening, , completely sealed by a sealing member. By the way, in the present invention, the opening edge of the opening flange portion that surrounds and defines the opening of the backwind opening is covered by the molding portion of the sealing member. Therefore, even when the back window is opened, the end of the opening flange portion is not exposed as in the conventional case, and the appearance of the back panel and the rear part of the vehicle body can be greatly improved compared to the conventional case. Further, the sealing member is configured to be able to be directly attached to the resin body by fitting the integrally formed fixing portion into the sealing material attachment portion. This eliminates the instability of the seal at the backwind opening, which was caused by the conventional case where the weather strip is attached to the sealing material attachment part via a retainer member that is mechanically attached to the sealing material attachment part with screws. In addition to this, it also leads to a reduction in the number of parts. That is, in the structure of the resin body according to the present invention, focusing on the sealing member that is necessarily provided to seal the backwind opening, the molding part is integrally formed with this to provide a garnishing function. This eliminates the deterioration in the appearance of the rear part of the resin body or car body, which had to be compromised to some extent in order to provide a back window, which is essential for a plastic body. In addition, by integrally providing a fixing portion to the sealing material attachment portion, reliable sealing performance can be obtained at the back window opening. Since the fixed part and the molding part are integrally connected by the elastic connecting part, the cross-sectional shape of the opening flange part and the sealing material mounting part at the backwind opening part is slightly different from each other. Even if the seal member is different, the seal member can be installed without any problem.

[Explanation of Examples]

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 4, in a vehicle equipped with a resin body, a resin body 3 that covers a cargo bed 2 behind a roll bar 1 is essentially provided with a back window 5 on a back panel 4 thereof. The back window 5 is closed when the back window glass 6 attached to the tail gate 2a of the cargo platform 2 fits into the back window opening 7 formed in the back panel 4, and the back window is closed when the tail gate 2a opens laterally. It is opened by opening the glass 6. Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the back window opening 7 is surrounded by an opening flange portion 4a of the back panel 4 that extends downward in the vertical direction or inward in the vehicle width direction. is stipulated. And, in the resin body 3,
