Abstract

In order to prevent the smooth drainage of the rainwater and the drained water from contacting the welded portion of the reinforcing member and the front pillar, the upper outer reinforcing member 20 has a passage 36 formed in the waterway portion 24 and the lower side of the passage. It provides a side cowl reinforcing member for a vehicle, characterized in that the vertical passage 38 is extended.

The waterway portion is composed of first and second inclined plates inclined in opposite directions, and a passage is formed at a predetermined position, and is configured to allow smooth drainage by tilting the left and right about the passage.

[Field of design]

The present invention relates to a side cowle reinforcing member for automobiles, and more particularly to a side cowle reinforcing member to form a water flow path to prevent the body body from being corroded by moisture.

[Private Technology]

The engine compartment of the passenger car is located in front of the vehicle body from the driver's seat and is blocked by the cab and the dash panel.

Above the dash panel is a cowl panel that directs rainwater flowing down from the window glass and direct rainwater down to a certain location, allowing it to flow down or to draw air into the cab.

The cowl panel is composed of an upper side plate member and a lower inner member and welded by an upper outer reinforcing member to form a constant frame.

4 and 5 are a cross-sectional view and a perspective view of a conventional cowl outer reinforcing member, wherein the front pillar 4 is welded to the lower side of the reinforcing member 2 and the lower inner member 6 is attached to the top of the filler. Welded to receive the water falling from the upper side.

The cowl outer reinforcing member (2) has a waterway portion (10) bent at a constant inclination at the vertical portion (8), and a passage (12) is opened at the corner portion of the waterway portion to open the waterway portion (8). The water that flows along can fall down.

However, in this structure, since the lower side of the reinforcing member 2 is welded to the front pillar 4, the water flowing through the passage 12 passes through these welding portions.

These parts are painted for the method, but the peeled off part is vulnerable to moisture, so when water flows as described above, corrosion progresses rapidly, and the panel is structurally vulnerable.

Summary of the proposal

The present invention is devised to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, the object of the present invention is to prevent the water falling to the cowl panel does not pass the welding site to minimize the side cowl reinforcement for automobiles To provide a member.

In order to realize the object of the present invention, in the cowl panel structure comprising an upper outer reinforcing member welded to the lower side of the front pillar and a lower inner member fixed to the upper end of the filler, the upper outer bow upper The ash provides a side cowl reinforcement member for a vehicle, characterized in that a passage is formed in the waterway portion and a vertical passage extends downward of the passage.

The waterway portion is a side cowl reinforcement member for a vehicle, characterized in that the first inclined plate inclined in the vertical portion and the second inclined plate inclined in the opposite direction to the first inclined plate, the passage is formed in a predetermined position.

In addition, the first and second inclined plate is characterized in that the inclination so that the smooth drainage can be made around the passage.

Preferred Embodiments of the Invention

1 is a perspective view of a reinforcing member according to the present invention, and FIGS. 2 and 3 are views showing a state of engagement with members coupled to the AA and BB cross sections of FIG. 1, and the reinforcing member 20 according to the present invention. ) Also has a vertical portion 22, and includes a channel portion 24 formed at a lower inclination angle at a lower side of the vertical portion.

In this embodiment, the channel portion 24 is composed of a first inclined plate 26 and a second inclined plate 28 inclined in a direction opposite to the inclined plate, as shown in FIG.

The fixing plate 30 extends downward to the second inclined plate 28, and the fixing plate 30 is welded to and supported by the front pillar 32.

In addition, the lower inner member 34 is fixed to the upper side of the front pillar 32 by welding so that water falling into the member can be guided to the channel portion 24 side.

The water channel portion 24 is inclined left and right about the passage 36 in order to send the induced water to a predetermined place.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, water flows in the direction of the arrow and is directed toward the passage 36. The passage 36 has a structure in which grooves are formed in the first and second warps 26 and 28. The groove is in communication with the vertical passage 38 extending from the fixed plate 30 so that the water in the water channel portion can fall downward.

Holes and protrusions formed in the vertical portion 22 of the reinforcing member provided in this embodiment are elements provided for wiring of the electric equipment.

In the drawings, reference numeral 40 denotes an upper side plate member.

In the side cowl reinforcing member of the present invention made as described above, as shown in FIG. 2, the water falling to the lower inner member 34 falls toward the channel portion 24 and the first slope plate 26 and the second slope plate 28. ) Flows through.

At this time, since the first inclined plate 26 and the second inclined plate 28 of the water channel portion 24 are inclined about the passage 36, all of the water therein flows toward the passage 36.

Water flowing into the passage 36 flows downward along the vertical passage 38 and is discharged out of the vehicle body.

Thus, the reinforcing member according to the present invention is discharged faster than the conventional structure because the water flowing through the waterway portion is inclined around the passage, and because the discharged water does not penetrate into the welding site by the second slope plate, Corrosion can be reduced.

Therefore, it is possible to extend the life of the vehicle body and also to reduce the odor generated during the operation of the air conditioner and heater by the rapid discharge of water.
