Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] This invention relates to an automobile body structure.

Recently, as the energy situation has worsened, it has become difficult to obtain fuel for automobiles, especially gasoline.
On the other hand, it is known that liquefied propane gas (hereinafter referred to as LPG) as another automobile fuel is easier to obtain and more economical than gasoline.

This idea was created in consideration of the above circumstances, and it is possible to mount an LPG container and a gasoline container together with good space efficiency, use LPG as the main fuel,
The object of the present invention is to provide a body structure for an automobile that can run on gasoline as an auxiliary fuel.

In order to achieve the above purpose, this invention
A body structure for an automobile that allows an LPG container and a gasoline container to be mounted together, wherein a spare tire storage recess and a gasoline container storage recess are formed in a floor panel of a luggage space, and a deep position of the luggage space with respect to both the recesses is provided. The LPG container storage section is formed in the LPG container storage section.

Hereinafter, embodiments of this invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIGS. 1 to 4 are explanatory diagrams showing one embodiment of an automobile body structure according to this invention. A steel plate integrated rear floor panel 12 is fixed to the side member 11, and a rear wheel house 13 is formed on both sides of the rear floor panel 12 at positions corresponding to the rear wheels, and a rear fender 14 is connected and fixed to the outside of the rear wheel house 13. . A lower back panel 15 is fixed to the rear part of the rear floor panel 12, and an upper back panel 1 is fixed to the passenger compartment side of the rear floor panel 12.
6 and seat back brace 17 are fixed. A sealable space surrounded by the rear floor panel 12, rear wheel house 13, rear fender 14, lower back panel 15, upper back panel 16, seat back brace 17, and openable/closeable luggage door 18 is defined as a luggage space 19. There is.

An LPG container 20 having a sufficient capacity to secure LPG as the main fuel is fixed to the rear floor panel 12 via a fixture 21 at the back of the luggage space 19, that is, at the front of the vehicle.
It forms an LPG container storage section.

In the rear floor panel 12 on the rear side of the LPG container storage section in the luggage space 19,
In consideration of serviceability, a spare tire storage recess 23 in which a spare tire 22 is stored and a gasoline container storage recess 25 in which a gasoline container 24 in which gasoline as auxiliary fuel is stored are formed. These spare tire storage recess 23 and gasoline container storage recess 25 are located in the luggage space 19.
In order to make it possible to set the luggage storage floor surface of the luggage space 19 in a flat state when the spare tire 22 and gasoline container 24 are stored, without damaging the space that can actually accommodate the luggage, deep drawing is performed. A predetermined recessed portion is obtained by molding. Furthermore, a gasoline container storage recess 25
are the vehicle's lowest ground clearance H and departure angle θ
Taking these into account, it is possible to secure the maximum capacity within the range that maintains safe driving of the vehicle. In addition,
The inlet 20A of the LPG container 20 and the inlet 24A of the gasoline container 24 are disposed on the sides of the quarter panel facing each other. That is, as shown in Fig. 1, the inlet of the stored gasoline container is arranged on the side of the nearest quarter panel of the left and right quarter panels, and the inlet of the stored LPG container is arranged in the inlet of the gasoline container. It is arranged on the side of the quarter panel opposite to the quarter panel in which the entrance is arranged. This makes it possible to prevent problems caused by mixing LPG and gasoline during injection.

According to the automobile body structure according to the above embodiment, the LPG container 2 containing LPG as the main fuel
0 capacity is secured to the same extent as compared to conventional vehicles with the same external dimensions, and the gasoline container 24 that stores gasoline as auxiliary fuel has a necessary and sufficient capacity, so LPG can be used as the main fuel. This makes it possible to run on gasoline as an auxiliary fuel.
In addition, the LPG container 20 is located at the back of the luggage space 19, and the spare tire 22 and gasoline container 24 are stored in storage recesses 23 and 25 formed by deep drawing on the rear floor panel 12. without damaging the space that can accommodate the Furthermore, since the gasoline container storage recess 25 is arranged in consideration of the minimum ground clearance H and the departure angle θ, it is possible to ensure a sufficiently safe condition even in the event of a rear-end collision of the vehicle. .

In addition, although the case where the automotive body structure according to this invention is applied to the rear body side of an automobile has been described in the above embodiment, it can be similarly applied to the front body side.

As described above, this invention is an automobile body structure that allows an LPG container and a gasoline capacity to be mounted together, and a spare tire storage recess and a gasoline container storage recess are formed in the floor panel of the luggage space. Since the LPG container storage part is formed in the inner part of the space relative to both of the recesses, the LPG container and the gasoline container can be mounted together with good space efficiency, and the vehicle can run using LPG as the main fuel and gasoline as the auxiliary fuel. This has the effect of making it possible.

Furthermore, since the injection port of the LPG container and the injection port of the gasoline container are arranged on the sides of the quarter panel that face each other, it is possible to prevent troubles caused by mixing of LPG and gasoline during injection.
