Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a bumper side structure suitable for a cab-over type truck.

Conventionally, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the structure of the bumper side part of a cab-over type truck, etc. is such that the front end 2 of the door 2 is attached to the front pillar 1.
A is supported so as to be openable and closable via a hinge (not shown),
A certain gap 5 is formed so that the front end 2a of the door 2 does not come into contact with the outer panel of the vehicle body, for example, both side ends 3a of the front panel 3 and both side ends 4a of the radiator grille 4. Further, in this bumper side portion, the tip of the bumper side 6a of the bumper 6, which is formed of a hard material such as a metal material and is supported by a vehicle body strength member such as a side member via a bumper stay (not shown), is attached to the door 2. It was disposed close to the front end 2a of the. If the gap 8 between the tip of the bumper side 6a and the front end 2a of the door 2 is large, the front pillar 1 will be visible from the outside and the appearance quality will deteriorate. A corner panel 7 made of a hard material and having a substantially L-shaped horizontal section is welded and fixed to the front pillar 1 to hide the gap 8.
The above-mentioned constant gap 5 was formed between the rear end 7a and the front end 2a of the door 2 (for example,
Published by Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. ``Nissan Banets, Thierry Banets maintenance instructions (c120 type)'' 223
page).

However, in the case of the bumper side structure of such conventional cab-over type trucks,
Due to a light frontal collision of a truck, the bumper 6 moves rearward and the tip of the bumper side 6a also moves rearward, causing the corner panel 7 to be crushed and deformed and collide with the front end 2a of the door 2, making it impossible for the door 2 to open. It had the problem of disappearing.

This invention was devised in view of the current situation, and its purpose is to provide a cab-over type truck in which the opening movement of the door is not restricted even if the bumper moves due to a light head-on collision of the vehicle. The present invention aims to provide a bumper side part structure suitable for.

In order to achieve this object, in the present invention, a soft part is formed at the front end of the bumper side of a bumper formed of a hard material, and the soft part is made to face the front end of the door. and the front end of the door to form a gap to ensure the degree of opening of the door.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, the bumper side portion of the cab-over type truck according to this embodiment
The front pillar 1 can be opened and closed via a hinge.
A certain gap 5 is formed so that the front end 2a of the door 2 does not collide with the outer panel of the vehicle body, for example, the opposite ends 3a of the front panel 3 and the opposite ends 4a of the radiator grille 4. Further, in this bumper side portion, a bumper side 6a of a bumper 6 formed of a hard material such as a metal material and supported by a vehicle body strength member such as a side member via a bumper stay (not shown) is located at the front end of the door 2. It is arranged close to the section 2a. As shown in FIG. 3, a buffer member 10 made of soft resin is fixed to the tip of the bumper side 6a via a clip 11. It is formed by a rear end portion and a front end portion 2a of the door 2.

Therefore, in this embodiment, even if the buffer member 10 collides with the front end 2a of the door 2 due to rearward movement of the bumper 6 due to a light frontal collision, the buffer member 10 will be damaged by the opening movement of the door 2. Since the front end portion 2a is compressed and deformed elastically, the problem that the door 2 cannot be opened does not occur.Moreover, in this embodiment, the buffer member 10 protects both sides of the vehicle body outer plate, for example, the radiator grille 4. Even when the gap 8 between the end portion 4a and the front edge portion 2a of the door 2 is large, this gap 8 can be hidden without using a separate member such as a corner panel, and the number of parts can be reduced and the assembly process can be simplified. , it is possible to reduce costs.

In the above embodiment, the case where the buffer member 10 is fixed with the clip 11 as a separate part from the bumper 6 has been explained as an example, but in the present invention, the bumper 6 is molded from a hard resin, and the bumper 6 is The buffer member 10 may be formed by connecting a soft resin integrally with the bumper 6 to the tip of the bumper side 6a.

Since the present invention has the above-described configuration, the inconvenience that the door of the cab-over type truck cannot be opened or closed does not occur in the event of a light head-on collision between the cab-over type truck and another vehicle, and it is possible to improve the performance of getting in and out of the vehicle. can.
