Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improved structure related to the strength of a hood latch attachment part in an automobile.

The hood latch attachment part in a conventional automobile is a latch plate 01, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
The front convex mounting portion 02 was a flat plate without a flange on its edge, and had the disadvantage of low rigidity. A hood lock stay 0 that fixedly supports the other convex mounting portion 02
The center bent part with the latch plate mounting surface 06 of No. 3 is formed flat, and its edge is provided with a flange 04' formed on the lock stay body 04 and a series of flanges 05', so that the rigidity is strong. However, the convex mounting portion 0 of the latch plate 01
In the case where a flange is provided on the latch plate 2 to increase its rigidity, the latch plate mounting surface 06 is a flat surface, which is not suitable for fixing the convex mounting portion 02.

The present invention has been made to eliminate the drawbacks of the conventional ones described above.The front convex mounting part of the latch plate is provided with a series of flanges with the flange of the main body, and the central bent part of the hood lock stay and the header panel are mounted on the front convex mounting part of the latch plate. A groove capable of accommodating the flanges of the convex mounting portion is provided between the bent portions on both sides of the lock stay, and a series of grooves are provided at the edges of the bent portions on both sides, the groove, and the central bent portion to the flanges provided on the lock stay body. To provide a structure of an automobile hood latch mounting part which is provided with a flange to smoothly connect a latch plate and a lock stay and strengthen the rigidity of both.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on an embodiment shown in the drawings.

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the front of the car with the hood panel 1 open, where 2 is the hood hook, 3 is the headlamp support panel, 4 is the header panel, and 5 is the front part of the car.
10 indicates a latch plate, and 10 indicates a hood lock stay. FIG. 4 is a side cross-sectional view of the vicinity of the hood latch attachment part in the locked state, and numeral 9 indicates the hood latch. FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing how the header panel 4 is attached to the hood lock stay 10. FIG. 6 is an exploded perspective view of the combination of the latch plate 5 and the hood lock stay 10, and the convex mounting portion 6 in front of the main body 5' of the latch plate 5 is the part that is fixedly supported by the hood lock stay 10. It can also be clearly seen that the rear mounting portion 8 at the rear is a portion that is fixedly supported by the headlamp support panel 3, and that a hood latch 9 is attached to the lower surface of the main body 5'.

A flange 7, which is a series of the flange provided on the main body 5', is provided at the end edge of the convex mounting portion 6 in a downward direction. On the other hand, in the upper width direction of the main body 10' of the hood lock stay 10, there is a central bent part 1 having a latch plate mounting surface in the central part.
1 is formed with a front bend, and both side bends 12 are formed with a header panel mounting surface located above the latch plate mounting surface on both sides thereof, and a center bend part 11 and Between the side bent portions 12 is the flange 7 of the convex mounting portion.
Groove portions 13 deeper than the height of are provided respectively. Therefore, the above-mentioned both side bent portions 12 and both groove portions 1
3. At the edge extending over the central bent portion 11, a forward facing flange provided on the lock stay body 10' and a series of flanges 14 are provided, depending on their respective positions, facing downward or forward. Figure 7 is the 6th
This is a sectional view taken along the - line in the state where the latch plate 5 in the figure is assembled to the hood lock stay 10, and the flange 7 of the latch plate convex mounting part 6 is accommodated in the groove part 13,
is shown to be tightly fixed to the central bent portion 11 of the hood lock stay 10.

In the above structure, since the convex mounting part 6 of the latch plate 5 has the groove part 13 on the side of the hood lock stay 10, the flange 7, which could not be formed with the conventional latch plate, is connected to the flange of the main body 5' at the end. As the hood lock stay 10 was formed with grooves 13, its rigidity was increased and problems such as the use of a thick plate material were eliminated, and the main body 10' This flange and a series of flanges 14 can be provided on the edges of both side bent portions 12, both groove portions 13, and central bent portion 11 in one press operation, so that the same rigidity and strength as conventional ones can be obtained. This is an excellent automobile hood latch mounting structure that allows for the installation of both parts without any problems.
