Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] This invention is a light van type car body, that is, a car body equipped with a back door, and an opening for mounting a rear lamp is bored in the corner of the rear end of the outer panel. It's about structure.

First, the conventional rear lamp mounting structure on this type of light van body will be illustrated and explained using Figures 1 and 2. Figure 1 shows the rear left of the passenger compartment viewed toward the rear AFT. FIG.

The side edges of the rear floor 1 are fixed to the rear floor side panel 2 and are attached to the rear floor side panel 2.
is heavily attached to the lower part of the vehicle body panel 3, and furthermore, a vehicle body outer panel 4 is attached between the upper and lower end portions of the inner panel 3.

The rear part of the outer panel 4 is folded toward the center line of the vehicle body to form a double wall, namely, a horizontal panel 4a that forms the rear surface of the passenger compartment together with a back door (not shown), and a step that accommodates the back door. A rear plate 4c is formed which is continuous to the side surface of the outer plate 4 through the portion 4b and the corner portion, and the rear edge of the rear floor 1 is fixed to the lower part of the horizontal plate 4a.

Furthermore, an opening 5 for attaching a rear lamp 6 is cut out from the side surface to the rear plate 4c at a corner of the outer panel 4, and the rear lamp 6 is attached to this opening 5 via a sealing material.

In addition, a mounting hole 7 for a door lock (not shown) is formed in the stepped portion 4b, and a mounting hole 8 for a door stay is formed in the upper part of the rear plate 4c. The pillar of the door stay 9 is pivotally supported.

According to the conventional rear lamp mounting structure formed in this way, rainwater that has entered through the gap between the door stay mounting hole 8 or door lock mounting hole 7 and the insertion shaft, and rainwater that has entered due to insufficient sealing between the opening 5 and the upper edge, can enter the vehicle interior. There was a problem where it corroded various parts.

Note that some of the conventional light van bodies of this type had a mounting structure with a box-shaped lamp housing 10 similar to that of a horizontal rear lamp, but the box-shaped lamp housing 10 prevents water from entering the passenger compartment. It cannot be prevented from entering.

The present invention has been developed in view of the above-mentioned current situation, and an object of the present invention is to provide a rear lamp mounting structure that prevents water from entering the vehicle interior.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on an illustrated embodiment.

In the mounting structure of the embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 7, the rear shape of the vehicle body outer panel 11 includes a horizontal plate 11a forming a doorstop, a stepped portion 11b in which a back door (not shown) is accommodated, and an outer side plate 11a. Continuous rear plates 11c and 11d are formed on the side surfaces of the plate, and the rear plate 1
1c and the rear plate 11d, that is, as shown in FIG. 7, the rear end corner 11g (FIG. 5) where the rear side surface 11e and the rear surface 11f of the vehicle body intersect is cut off to form an opening 13 for mounting the rear lamp 12. are bored therein, and a door lock attachment hole 7 and a door stay attachment hole 8 are also bored in the stepped portion 11b and the rear plate 11c, respectively.

Therefore, the opening 13 and the openings such as the mounting holes 7 and 8 drilled in the outer panel 11 near the opening 13 are connected to the inner panel 3 and the interior side of the vehicle, which are provided opposite the outer panel 11. An L-shaped panel member, that is, a bottom wall 14a located below the rear lamp 12 and the mounting holes 7, 8, and a bottom wall 14a located below the rear lamp 12 and the mounting holes 7, 8, as shown in FIG. 8
The periphery of the lamp housing 14, which is comprised of the rear wall 14b located closer to the vehicle interior, is adhered to the outer panel 11.

In the mounting device of the embodiment configured in this way,
As shown by the arrows in Fig. 6, each mounting hole 7, 8
The rear lamp 1
Water that enters the rear space of the lamp housing 14 cannot enter the interior side of the lamp housing 14 because the rear rear space and the passenger compartment side are separated by the lamp housing 14. This water is discharged from a seal gap (not shown) between the opening 13 and the lower edge attachment portion of the rear lamp 12.

Incidentally, since the lamp housing 14 does not have a concave portion in its shape, it does not require deep drawing unlike the conventional box-shaped housing 10, and is therefore easy and inexpensive to manufacture.

In addition, in the conventional box-shaped lamp housing, the edge of the lamp housing 10 near the center line of the vehicle body is spot welded to the rear outer plate 4c, so the width of the spot base is taken up, so the width of the back door is made wider. Although it was difficult, this lamp housing 14 does not require a width for welding to the outer side plate 11a, making it possible to sufficiently widen the width of the back door.

As described above, according to the rear lamp mounting structure according to the present invention, by providing the lamp housing, the space behind the rear lamp is formed into a closed space, which not only prevents water from entering the passenger compartment from the rear lamp mounting part. Since the rigidity of the rear part of the outer skin is reinforced by attaching the lamp housing, it also helps reduce the burden on the reinforcing members fixed to the car body near the rear of the outer skin, which improves the design of the car body near the mounting structure. , and has the effect of improving durability.
