Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] To effectively reduce the release of splashes of the tire splashing to the outside. [Structure] A plurality of elongated holes 8 are provided on the surface of the inner fender 7 facing the tire 2, and a partition wall 9 that stands up around the elongated holes 8 is formed on the rear surface of the inner fender.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an improvement of a device for preventing tire tires of vehicles such as trucks from splashing.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 In order to prevent mud spattering of tires, there are those disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 2-44577 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 2-48493.

[0003] These prevent splashes of muddy water splashed up from the tire from splashing outside from the side surface of the tire, and by guiding the splashes adhering to the inner fenders to the front side, splashes are scattered to the side surface of the vehicle body. I try to prevent it.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, since the amount of droplets floating in the space under the fender that is rolled up by the tires does not decrease, the droplets that are rolled up by the air flow splash to the side of the vehicle body and adhere to the side surface of the vehicle body, or in the field of view of the following vehicle. May be adversely affected.

The present invention aims to solve such problems.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention is a mud spatter preventing device for a vehicle in which a floor panel covering an upper space from the front of the tire and an inner fender is arranged on the inner side of the floor panel, and a plurality of long holes are formed on a surface of the inner fender facing the tire. The partition wall is provided and rises around the long hole on the back surface of the inner fender.

[0007]

[Operation] The droplets wound up by the tire through the plurality of long holes provided in the inner fender flow between the inner fender and the floor panel. This droplet becomes a water drop and flows down on the upper surface of the inner fender, but since the partition wall rises around the long hole, it does not drop toward the tire from the long hole, and as a result, it floats around the tire. It decreases itself. Therefore, the air flow generated by the rotation of the tire reduces the amount of splashes flowing to the side of the vehicle body, and the amount of adhesion on the side surface of the vehicle body can be reduced.

[0008]

【Example】

 FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention. 1 is a cab, 2 is a tire, 3 is a floor panel covering the space above the tire 2 from the front, 4 is a splash rubber attached to the floor panel 3, and 5 is a tire 2. The mudguard is hung in front of the tire, and 6 is a rear fender that covers the rear space of the tire 2.

An inner fender 7 is attached to the inner side of the floor panel 3 at a constant interval, and as shown in FIG. 2, the inner fender 7 faces the tire 2 and extends in the tire axial direction. A plurality of elongated holes 8 are formed so as to penetrate therethrough. Partition walls 9 are formed around these elongated holes 8 so as to stand on the upper surface (back surface) of the inner fender 7, and partition walls 10 are also provided along both sides of the inner fender 7. A discharge port 11 is formed in front of the inner fender 7 to collect and drop water drops.

With such a configuration, a part of the droplets wound up by the tire 2 passes through the long hole 8 of the inner fender 7 and enters the space between the inner fender 7 and the floor panel 3 as shown in FIG. It is guided and eventually adheres to the upper surface of the inner fender 7 as water droplets. Since the water droplets that have adhered are provided with the partition wall 9 around the elongated hole 8, they do not fall through the elongated hole 8 toward the tire 2 again, and the discharge port 11 is formed along the surface of the inner fender 7. Be led to.

As a result, the absolute amount of droplets flying in the space above the tire 2 due to the rotation of the tire 2 is reduced. Therefore, the amount of splash that escapes from the inside of the splash rubber 4 to the outside by riding on the air flow can be reduced, and the dirt on the cab side and the rear body side can be minimized. This reduces splashes that hinder visibility and improves driving safety.

[0012]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the floor panel covering the upper space from the front of the tire and the mud splash prevention device for a vehicle in which the inner fender is arranged inside the floor panel are provided with the tire of the inner fender. Since a plurality of long holes were provided on the facing surface and a partition wall that stood up around the long holes was formed on the back surface of the inner fender, the droplets wound up on the tire were guided between the inner fender and the floor panel through the long holes, The splash itself that flies in the interior space of the fender is reduced, the splash that flows to the side of the vehicle due to the air flow is reduced, the amount of adhesion to the side of the vehicle is reduced, and the visibility to the following vehicle is improved and running safety Can be improved.
