Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial application] The present invention relates to a front body structure of a cab-over type vehicle, and more particularly, to improvement of a wiring or piping arranged in a front panel and a fixing structure of a front grill. .

[Prior Art] FIGS. 5 and 6 show an example of a conventional structure, and FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken along line VV of FIG. In the figure, in a front panel 1 ', an upper half portion 1a is projected and inclined forward toward a front grill G below a windshield opening S, and a lower half portion 1b is bent inward of a vehicle behind the front grill G. It is continuously joined to the front edge of the floor panel 3.

The lower half portion 1b is notched on both sides as a headlamp space, and saddle type brackets 41 are provided at three positions on the front surface in the width direction.
Is installed by welding. Then, the upper edge of the front grill G is fixed to the mounting holes 411 provided in the brackets 41 by clips. On the other hand, an elongated plate bracket 42 extending along the rear half 1b is welded to the upper edge of the rear surface thereof, and weld nuts 51 are provided at a plurality of positions on the bracket 42. The clamp fittings are fixed with bolts, and the wiring or piping is fixed with the clamp fittings.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] However, according to the above structure, there is a problem in that it takes time and effort to install each bracket, and installation accuracy of the front grill is difficult to obtain due to installation errors and the like. Since it is necessary to form into a letter shape without complicatedness, there is a problem that the yield is low when the panel is press-formed.

The present invention solves such a problem, does not require the trouble of installing a bracket, enables accurate assembly, and can also improve the yield when molding the front panel. It is intended to provide a structure.

[Means for Solving the Problem] The structure of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. The front panel 1 of a cab-over vehicle has an upper side forming an outer surface between a windshield opening S and a front grill G. It comprises a panel 11 and a lower panel 12 located behind the front grill G.

The upper panel 11 and the lower panel 12 are joined at their lower and upper ends, respectively, and a mounting seat 11a extending toward the vehicle front side is integrally formed at the lower end of the upper panel 11, and the front grill G is attached thereto. While fixing the upper edge of the lower panel 12, an attachment seat 12a extending toward the vehicle rear side is integrally formed at the upper end of the lower panel 12, and the wirings W (FIG. 4) are fixed thereto.

[Operation] In the above structure, the upper and lower panels 11,
Since the front grille G and the wiring W are fixed by the mounting seats 11a and 12a integrally formed on the mounting bracket 12, it is not necessary to install a separate mounting bracket, and the mounting accuracy deteriorates due to the installation error. There is no problem.

Further, by dividing the front panel 1 into the upper panel 11 and the lower panel 12, it is not necessary to perform complicated press molding, and the yield is improved. In this case, the lower panel 1
Since No. 2 is located behind the front grill, it is not necessary to consider the quality of the panel surface so much, and the cost can be significantly reduced by diverting the press residual material of other parts.

[Embodiment] In FIGS. 1 and 2, a front panel 1 of a cab-over type vehicle is composed of an upper panel 11 and a lower panel 12, and the upper panel 11 faces a front grill G below a windshield opening S. The front surface of the vehicle body is formed by inclining forward of the vehicle. The lower panel 12 is located behind the front grill G and has a lower end flange 12b.
The floor panel 3 is continuously joined.

The lower end of the upper panel 11 is bent rearward and welded to the upper end of the lower panel 12. The lower end portion of the upper panel 11 is a flange 11a that bends and extends from the welded portion toward the front side of the vehicle and serves as a mounting seat. The flange 11a has rectangular mounting holes 11 at three locations in the central portion in the longitudinal direction.
1 is provided.

On the other hand, the upper end of the lower panel 12 is a flange 12a that is a mounting seat by bending and extending from the welded portion toward the vehicle rear side.
Weld nuts 51 are provided at a plurality of positions on the front surface of the flange 12a.

Then, the upper edge of the front grill G has the above-mentioned mounting hole 11
It is fixed to the flange 11a by a resin clip 52 (FIG. 3) which is fitted in the inside 1. Further, the wiring W (FIG. 4) or the piping arranged inward along the front panel 1 is the weld nut 51 of the flange 12a.
It is fixed by a clamp metal fitting 53 which is screwed to.

[Advantages of the Invention] As described above, in the vehicle body front structure of the present invention, the front panel is divided into the upper panel and the lower panel, and the front grill and the wiring seats are integrally formed on these panels. Since it is not necessary to install a mounting bracket as in the conventional case, the number of assembling steps can be significantly reduced and the mounting accuracy can be improved.

Further, since each of the divided panels has a relatively simple shape, press molding is easy and the yield is good. Furthermore, the lower panel that does not appear on the surface of the vehicle body can use the press residual material of other parts, and a significant cost reduction is realized.
