Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a corner panel structure of a cab-over type vehicle.

Generally, when the front corner part of a cab-over type vehicle has a substantially right-angled shape, it is extremely difficult to integrally mold the corner part on one front panel 1 or door 2. A corner panel 3 is provided between them.

And under this corner panel 3 is a lamp housing 4.
A turn signal lamp or a side marker lamp is housed in the lamp housing 4.

By the way, if the corner panel 3 and the lamp housing 4 are formed integrally, there is a problem that even if only one of the corner panel 3 and the lamp housing 4 is damaged in the event of a car collision, both will be broken and left behind. Ta.

Furthermore, if the corner panel 3 and lamp housing 4 are formed completely separately, installation errors will occur between the corner panel 3 and the lamp housing 4 due to errors in the corner panel 3 and errors in the vehicle body bracket that attaches the corner panel 3 to the vehicle body. There was a problem.

This idea was made in order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and the lower edge of the corner panel adjacent to the lamp housing is bent inward to provide an inwardly bent part. is formed from a horizontal vehicle body attachment portion and a lamp housing attachment portion, and the lamp housing attachment portion is formed from a horizontal portion and a vertical portion following the horizontal portion, and a cut is made between the vehicle body attachment portion and the lamp housing attachment portion. By forming the notch, even if either the corner panel or the lamp housing is damaged due to a collision, the impact will be absorbed by the inwardly bent part and the other will hardly be affected. The object of the present invention is to provide a corner panel structure for a cab-over type vehicle that absorbs mounting errors of the corner panel by bending the bending portion.

An embodiment of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIGS. 2 to 5 show an embodiment of this invention. In the figures, 3 and 4 are a corner panel and a lamp housing as in FIG. An inwardly bent portion 5 is formed by bending this inwardly.

And the inwardly bent portion 5a of the corner panel 3a on the side of the vehicle body.
Vehicle body mounting portions 6a, 6 are attached in a horizontal plane approximately at the center of
b is formed, and a large notch 7a is formed between both vehicle body mounting portions 5a and 5b.

In addition, the inwardly bent portion 5 of the corner panel 3a on the side of the vehicle body
A lamp housing mounting portion 8 is formed at the rear end of the lamp housing 8. The lamp housing mounting portion 8 includes a horizontal portion 8a in a horizontal plane and a vertical portion 8b formed integrally with the horizontal portion 8a and bent vertically downward.

A cutout portion 7b is formed in the inwardly bent portion 5a between the vehicle body attachment portion 6a and the lamp housing attachment portion 8 on the side surface of the vehicle body.

Furthermore, a vehicle body mounting portion 6a of the inwardly bent portions 5a, 5b,
6b are screwed from below to corresponding locations of the vehicle body mounting bracket 10 which is welded or bolted to the vehicle body pillar 9.

On the other hand, the lamp housing 4 is attached to the vertical portion 8b of the lamp housing attachment portion 8 of the inwardly bent portion 5a by screws 11 inserted into the attachment hole 4a of the lamp housing 4.

Note that reference numeral 12 in FIG. 4 attaches the upper part of the corner panel 3 to the vehicle body 9.

This is a vehicle body mounting bracket for.

According to the corner panel structure of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5a, even if the corner panel 3 is deformed by the force F due to a collision or the like, the presence of the notch 7b prevents the lamp housing from being attached. Since only the inwardly bent portion 5a of the part 8 deforms and absorbs the impact, the lamp housing 4 is not affected.In contrast, as shown in FIG. Even if the corner panel 3 deforms due to the impact of F, the inwardly bent portion 5a of the lamp mounting portion 8 deforms due to the presence of the cutout portion 7b and absorbs the impact, so the corner panel 3 is not affected. .

The three corner panels of the vehicle body are the parts most likely to be hit in the event of a collision, but this structure can minimize damage in the event of a collision.

In this structure, the mounting error of the corner panel 3 caused by the error of the corner panel 3 and the error of the vehicle body mounting platen (10.12) is corrected by bending the vehicle body mounting portions 6a, 6b of the inwardly bent portions 5a, 5b. It can be absorbed by matching the position of the vehicle body mounting bracket 10 and attaching it to this.

Furthermore, in the present invention, since the lamp housing is attached to the corner panel 3, the gap between the corner panel and the lamp housing is constant, and it is possible to eliminate installation dimensional errors during installation.

Note that this invention is not limited to the above embodiments,
The vehicle body attachment portion and the lamp housing attachment portion may each have a different structure for attachment to the vehicle body bracket and the lamp housing.

As described above, according to this invention, the lower edge of the corner panel adjacent to the lamp housing is bent inward to form an inwardly bent part from the horizontal vehicle body mounting part and the lamp housing mounting part, and The lamp housing mounting part is formed from a horizontal part and a vertical part, and a cutout part is formed between the vehicle body mounting part and the lamp housing mounting part, so that either the corner panel or the lamp housing may be damaged due to a collision or the like. Even if the corner panel is damaged, it can be prevented from affecting the other, and there is an effect that it is possible to eliminate installation errors between the corner panel and the vehicle body.
