Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] An object of the present invention is to provide a spare tire carrier that allows fresh air to satisfactorily flow into the engine room. [Composition] The spare tire carrier has a duct shape which forms a fresh air passage R in which a front end of the spare tire carrier is opened at an upper portion of the radiator 3 so that fresh air can be introduced, and a rear end of the spare tire carrier is openly communicated with the engine room ER. It is resin-molded, and the mounting surface of the spare tire 7 is formed on the upper surface side.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an improvement of a spare tire carrier such as a one-box car.

[0002]

[Prior art and its problems]

 Conventionally, in a one-box car, as shown in FIG. 3, an engine room for mounting an engine is formed below a floor surface of a vehicle interior S of the one-box car 1, and a radiator 3 is provided in a front portion of the one-box car 1. Is provided, and a radiator fan 4 is provided behind it. Further, a spare tire carrier 6 is installed on the rear side of the radiator fan 4 in a state of being attached to the upper radiator core 5, and the spare tire carrier 6 can hold the spare tire 7. FIG. 4 shows a perspective view of the main part thereof. That is, the spare tire carrier 6 is composed of vertical frame members 6a and 6b arranged in the vertical direction and pipe-shaped horizontal members 6c and 6c arranged in the horizontal direction. In such a structure, there is a problem that the hot air of the radiator passes through the spare tire carrier 6 and hits the spare tire 7 to deteriorate the spare tire as shown by a black arrow in FIG. There was a problem that the space temperature of the engine was raised and hot air also flowed into the inside of the engine, and the engine was not cooled well.

[0003]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention has been made in view of the above conventional problems, and an object thereof is to provide a spare tire carrier capable of preventing deterioration of a spare tire and cooling an engine satisfactorily. A spare tire carrier provided at the rear of a radiator of a vehicle having an engine room under the floor of the vehicle, the front end of the spare tire carrier being opened at the upper part of the radiator so that fresh air can be introduced and the rear end being That is, the resin molding is performed in a duct shape that forms a fresh air passage that is open to the engine room, and a spare tire mounting surface is formed on the upper surface side.

[0004]

[Action]

 The spare tire carrier can hold the spare tire on its upper surface and is made of resin in the shape of a duct. Fresh air is introduced into the interior from the opening at the front end. Can be sent into the engine room through the opening at the rear end to cool the engine well.

【Example】

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of a front part of a one-box car equipped with a spare tire carrier of the present example. The arrangement positions of each member are almost the same as those in the conventional structure shown in FIG. The spare tire carrier 61 for holding 7 is formed in a structure as shown in FIG.

That is, in FIG. 2, the spare tire carrier 61 is made of resin and formed in a duct shape. The spare tire carrier 61 has a front horizontal duct portion 62 on the front end side and a rear end of the front horizontal duct portion 62. The inclined duct portion 63 that inclines downward to the side and the rear horizontal duct portion 64 that extends from the rear end of the inclined duct portion 63 to the rear side are continuously molded with resin. A fresh air passage R through which air can pass is formed, and the front end opening 65 of the front horizontal duct portion 62 at the front end of the fresh air passage R has an upper portion arranged above the radiator 3. It is opened on the upper surface of the radiator core 5, and fresh air can be introduced into the front end opening 65 from a slit opening or the like formed on the front surface of the one-box car 1 during traveling or the like.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the rear end opening 66 on the rear end side of the fresh air passage R is connected to the inside of the engine room ER housing the engine 2, and the front end opening 65 The introduced fresh air can be introduced into the engine room ER from the rear end opening 66 through the fresh air passage R, and the fresh air can cool the engine 2 satisfactorily.

As shown in FIG. 2, the rear horizontal duct portion 64 has a tire mounting surface 67 on the upper surface side thereof. The tire mounting surface 67 has a locking projection 68 projecting upward. The spare tire 7 is placed on the front side of the locking projection 68, and the spare tire 7 is held on the inclined duct portion 63 side so that the spare tire 7 can be satisfactorily held. It is possible.

In such a structure, as shown by the black arrow in FIG. 1, the hot air from the radiator 3 is blocked by the spare tire carrier 61 and escapes to the lower side along the inclined duct portion 63, so that the radiator is cooled. The hot air does not flow to the spare tire 7 side, and the deterioration of the spare tire 7 can be favorably prevented.

Further, hot air does not enter the space around the spare tire 7, and the temperature rise in this space can be suppressed well. Further, as described above, the fresh air flows into the engine room ER through the fresh air passage R, and the engine is cooled well.

[0011]

[Effect of device]

 The present invention is a spare tire carrier installed in a rear portion of a radiator of a vehicle having an engine room under the floor of a vehicle compartment, the spare tire carrier having a front end thereof capable of introducing fresh air above the radiator. A spare tire is formed by resin molding into a duct shape that forms an air passage that is open and has a rear end that communicates with the engine room and that has a spare tire mounting surface formed on the upper surface side. In addition to effectively functioning as a spare tire carrier that holds the engine, it is possible to introduce fresh air into the engine room satisfactorily and to reduce the temperature inside the engine room satisfactorily.
