Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to the body of an automobile, and is intended to prevent dust from entering the driver's cabin from under the floor through the center pillar.

When explaining an automobile, particularly a pan called a cab-over type, with reference to FIG. 1, 1 is a roof and 2 is a side panel.

The side panel 2 is provided with a front door 4 that opens rearward by a hinge (not shown) provided at the front pillar 3, and a rear door 6 that is guided by a rail 5 and opens along the side panel 2. ing.

A center pillar 7 is provided between the front door 4 and the rear door 6.

8 is a fuel filler port, and 9 is a floor.

Although the center pillar 7 visually dominates a part of the side panel 2, it is manufactured separately from other parts.

The center pillar 7 will be explained with reference to FIG. 2. 10 is an outer pillar, and 11 is an inner pillar.

The outer pillar 10 and the inner pillar 11 are made up of a barrier plate 13 that has a hole (gap) 12 in which the electrodeposition liquid flows.
are connected and integrated by.

The outer pillar 10 is connected to the roof 1 via the drip 14 at the upper end, and the inner pillar 11 is connected to the floor 9 at the lower end.

In the conventional center pillar 7 having such a structure, the outer pillar 10 and the inner pillar 11 are immersed in a paint solution in an integrated state and subjected to electrodeposition coating.

When the center pillar 7 is pulled up from the paint liquid, the electrodeposited liquid that has entered between the outer pillar 10 and the inner pillar 11 above the shield plate 13 is removed from the hole 12 as shown by the broken line arrow in FIG. It flows downward through it and exits to the outside.

Since the electrodeposited liquid is discharged to the outside in this manner, there is no problem in manufacturing, but the following problem occurs when the vehicle is completed and driven.

In other words, the shield plate 13 is originally intended to prevent dust and water that fly up below the floor 9 from passing through the center pillar 7 and entering the driver's cabin, but during manufacturing, the electrodeposition liquid is applied as described above. Dust and water flow through the holes 12 provided for the purpose of flow, as shown by solid arrows in FIG. 2, and enter the operator's cab.

This invention is designed to eliminate such drawbacks, and one embodiment of the invention will be explained with reference to FIG. It is joined to the lower part of the hole 15 of the inner pillar 11 without providing a hole (or gap) (see FIG. 4).

In the center pillar 7 having this structure, the electrodeposition liquid after painting is discharged to the outside through the hole 15 as shown by the broken line arrow in FIG.

The hole 15 of the inner pillar 11 and the hole 16 provided in the lower part of the cover plate 13 are
It will be covered with

As shown in FIG. 5, this cover plate 17 is attached to the inner pillar 11 at the four corners with tapping screws 18.

When the cover plate 17 is installed, the upper and lower parts of the center pillar 7 are completely partitioned off by the shield plate 13, so that dust and water can flow inside the center pillar 7 from the bottom of the floor 9 as shown by the solid line arrow. Even if it enters, it will be blocked by the shield plate 13 and will not proceed above it.

Although the embodiment described above is for a cab-over type pan, the present invention is not limited to this, and can also be implemented for a truck or the like whose center pillar has a similar structure.

Since this invention is constructed as described above, it has the advantage that dust and water do not enter the driver's cabin from under the floor through the center pillar, unlike the conventional system.
