Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a mounting structure for a lid stay that supports a lid for opening and closing an opening of an automobile when the lid is opened.

[Prior art]

Generally, the lid stay of an automobile is used to support an opening of the automobile, for example, the bonnet, which is a lid that opens and closes the engine compartment, when the lid is opened.The mounting structure of the lid stay is as follows:
Conventionally, as described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 54-9777, a lid stay is rotatably attached to a car body panel, and when the lid is opened, the lid stay's support part is hooked onto the lid and locked. It was hot.

However, with this conventional structure, the supporting part of the lid stay is simply hooked onto the lid, so when the lid is opened, the lid may be damaged by wind pressure or by being hit by a worker doing engine maintenance. If it moves, there is a possibility that the lid stay will become unlatched, and if the lid stay is unlatched, the lid will close unexpectedly.

[Purpose of invention]

The present invention was developed in the conventional situation as described above, and the lid stay does not disengage from the lid even if the lid moves, preventing the lid from closing unexpectedly and providing safety. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an automobile lid stay mounting structure that can improve performance.

[Structure of the idea]

This invention includes a lid that opens and closes an opening in the vehicle body;
The lid stay includes a lid stay that supports the lid when the lid is opened, an insertion opening into which an L-shaped insertion portion at the tip of the lid stay is inserted, and an engagement member provided in the insertion opening and engaged with the insertion portion of the lid stay. In an automobile lid stay mounting structure, the insertion opening is formed by an insertion portion extending in the longitudinal direction of the insertion portion, and a direction in which the stay moves due to its own weight from the tip side of the insertion portion of the insertion portion, which is different from the insertion portion. an id part extending in the direction and having a width smaller than the insertion part; The device has an engaging portion that engages with the insertion portion when the insertion portion moves toward the guide portion inside the insertion portion when the lid is inserted into the insertion portion, and as a result, when the lid moves. However, the insertion part of the lid stay comes into contact with the engaging part of the engaging member or the inner panel, so that the lid stay and the lid are not disengaged.

〔Example〕

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

1 to 5 show a first embodiment of the present invention, and in the figures, 1 is an automobile to which the lid stay mounting structure of this embodiment is applied;
At the rear edge of the engine compartment 2, there is a bonnet 3 which is a lid that opens and closes the upper opening 2a of the engine compartment.
A mounting bracket 3a is rotatably mounted, and the bonnet 3 consists of an outer panel 5 and an inner panel 6.

A base 4a of a lid stay 4 is rotatably attached to the left edge of the opening 2a, and the lid stay 4 is formed of a round bar.
This is for supporting the bonnet 3 when it is opened. An L-shaped insertion portion 4b is formed at the tip of the lid stay 4.

An L-shaped insertion opening 7 is formed in the inner panel 6 of the bonnet 4. The insertion opening 7 is L-shaped in plan and has a bottom portion extending in the vehicle width direction and a vertical side portion extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. are respectively the above-mentioned lid stays 4
The insertion part 7a into which the insertion part 4b is inserted, and the guide part 7b which guides the insertion part 4b.

Furthermore, a mounting flange portion 8a of the engaging member 8 is fixed to the inner surface of the insertion opening 7 of the inner panel 6 by spot welding. The engaging member 8 has a hat-like longitudinal section, and a receiving portion is provided between the two flange portions 8a, which comes into contact with the insertion portion 4b of the lid stay 4 when the insertion portion 4b is inserted into the insertion portion 7a. 8
b is formed. Further, the engaging member 8 has an engaging portion 8c that engages with the inserting portion 4b when the inserting portion 4b is moved in the vehicle width direction with the inserting portion 4b inserted into the inserting portion 7a. Subsequently, the cross section is formed into a stepped shape, and the engaging portion 8c is located above the receiving portion 8b.

Next, the operation will be explained.

To open the bonnet 3 and support it with the lid stay 4, first open the bonnet 3 by holding it in your hand, rotate the lid stay 4 to an approximately vertical position, and insert the insertion portion 4b into the insertion portion of the insertion opening 7. 7a, rotate the bonnet 3 slightly downward in this state and insert the insertion portion 4b into the insertion portion 7a. Then, as shown by the dashed line in FIGS. 2 to 5, the insertion portion 4b comes into contact with the receiving portion 8b of the engaging member 8, and as a result, the bonnet 3 is supported by the lid stay 4, but it is still in this state. In this case, the two are not securely engaged and are unstable.

Therefore, next, the upper part of the lid stay 4 is moved in the vehicle width direction. Then, the insertion part 4a is in contact with the receiving part 8b of the engaging member 8 and is guided by the insertion part 7a of the insertion opening 7 and slides inward, so that the insertion part 4b and the receiving part 8b When the bonnet 3 is released from contact with the bonnet 3, the bonnet 3 rotates downward a little, and as a result, as shown by the solid line in FIGS. 2 to 5, the insertion portion 4b
engages with the engaging portion 8c of the engaging member 8, and
It overlaps with the insertion opening edge 6a of the inner panel 6, and as a result, the bonnet 3 is reliably supported by the lid stay 4.

In addition, when the bonnet 3 is rotated upward due to wind pressure or human contact while the bonnet 3 is supported by the lid stay 4, the insertion portion 4b of the lid stay 4 is inserted into the insertion opening edge of the inner panel 6. At the same time as locking with 6a,
In the locked state, the insertion part 4b is guided by the guide part 7b of the insertion opening 7 and moves to the position shown by the two-dot chain line in FIGS. 2 to 4, so that the bonnet 3 and the insertion part 4b are
This results in the engagement being maintained.

When closing the bonnet 3, hold the bonnet 3 in your hand and rotate it slightly upward to bring the insertion part 4b of the lid stay 4 into contact with the insertion opening edge 6a of the inner panel 6. In this state, close the lid stay 4. If you hold the lid stay 4 in your hand and move it outward in the vehicle width direction along the insertion part 7a, and then rotate the bonnet upward, the insertion part 4b of the lid stay 4 and the bonnet 3 will be separated.
The engagement with the lid stay 4 is released, and in this state, the lid stay 4
and set it in the lower position,
All you have to do is rotate the bonnet 3 downward.

In this way, in the first embodiment, the insertion part 4b of the lid stay 4 is engaged with the engagement part 8c of the engagement member 8, and when engaged, the insertion part 4b is attached to the edge of the insertion opening of the inner panel 6. Since it was made to polymerize with 6a,
The lid stay 4 can be reliably engaged with the bonnet 3, and even if the bonnet 3 moves, it can be prevented from being disengaged. Also,
When the bonnet 3 rotates upward, the insertion portion 4b can be prevented from moving along the guide portion 7b of the insertion opening 7 and disengaged, and unreasonable force can be applied to the inner panel 6. This movement prevents deformation of the insertion opening 7 portion of the inner panel 6. Furthermore, even if the lid stay 4 moves in the width direction of the guide portion 7b after the lid stay 4 has moved along the guide portion 7b, the width of the guide portion 7b is smaller than the width of the insertion portion 4b, so the insertion portion 4b will not come out, and even if the bonnet 3 moves in the opening direction, the insertion portion 4b will come into contact with the insertion opening edge 6a, and the insertion portion 4b will not come out. Furthermore, even if the movement of the bonnet 3 in the opening direction and the movement of the lid stay 4 in the direction contrary to its own weight occur simultaneously, the guide part 7b and the insertion part 7a extend in different directions, so that the insertion part 4
b will never come out.

FIG. 6 shows the engaging member 8 in the first embodiment.
A modification example is shown below. In the figures, Figures 1 to 5
The same reference numerals as those in the drawings indicate the same or equivalent parts, and in this modification, the engaging portion 18c of the engaging member 18 is sloped to become lower toward the rear in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and the rear end portion is approximately called the receiving portion 8b. are at the same height.

In the tree modification example, when the bonnet 3 rotates upward due to wind pressure or the like and the lid stay 4 moves to the position shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 6, when the wind pressure disappears, the lid stay 4 moves to the slope The bonnet 3 smoothly returns to its original position along the .

FIG. 7 shows a second embodiment of the invention. In the figures, the same reference numerals as in FIGS. 1 to 5 indicate the same or equivalent parts, and 9 is a stiffener that is a reinforcing member attached to the inner surface side of the inner panel 6. The stiffener 9 includes an engaging member. 28 is integrally formed, and the engaging member 28 is integrally formed with the same receiving portion 8b and engaging portion 8c as in the first embodiment. Note that 9a is a bracket portion to which a hinge (not shown) of the bonnet 3 is attached.

In this embodiment, a separate engagement member is not required, so the number of parts can be reduced, costs can be reduced, and the strength of the part can be increased. Note that other effects are the same as those of the first embodiment.

In each of the above embodiments, the case where the insertion port 7 is formed in an L-shape has been described, but the guide portion 7b of the insertion port 7 is not necessarily necessary in the present invention. Furthermore, although the above embodiments have been described with respect to a bonnet, the present invention can also be applied to a trunk lid for opening and closing a trunk room.

(Effect of the invention) As described above, according to the automobile lid stay mounting structure according to the present invention, the insertion opening into which the insertion part of the lid stay is inserted is connected to the insertion part extending in the longitudinal direction of the insertion part, and the insertion part extending in the longitudinal direction of the insertion part. a guide part that extends in a direction in which the stay moves due to its own weight from the distal end of the insertion part and that extends in a direction different from the insertion part and whose width is smaller than the insertion part; A mating member is formed at a position one step above the receiving part and a receiving part that comes into contact with the insertion part of the lid stay, and when the insertion part is inserted into the insertion part, the insertion part moves inside the insertion part toward the guide part. Since it has an engaging part that engages with the insertion part when it moves, the lid and the lid stay can be reliably engaged, and even if the lid moves, the engagement will not come off, and the lid will not close unexpectedly. This has the effect of improving safety by preventing accidents. In addition, since the engaging part that engages with the insertion part of the lid stay is arranged adjacent to the receiving part that comes into contact with the insertion part of the lid stay inserted from the insertion part, it is easy to attach and detach the stay. It also has the effect of
