Abstract

A washer liquid hose connecting structure for a vehicle is provided to prevent the washer liquid hose from being pressed by connecting the washer liquid hose through a pipe type connector. A washer liquid hose(10) supplies a washer liquid through a nozzle provided in a hood of a vehicle from a washer liquid tank of the vehicle. The washer liquid hose is inserted into both ends of a pipe type connector(20) and is communicated with the pipe type connector. The pipe type connector has high strength additionally provided by dividing a middle end passing between a weather strip(50) provided in an engine room and a hood. Both ends of the connector have a tapered shape. A ring-shaped catching protrusion protrudes from a middle end of the connector. And, the present invention prevents the washer liquid hose from being pressed as the pipe type connector passes between the weather strip and the hood.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a washer fluid hose connection structure of a vehicle, and in particular, a device for preventing a washer fluid hose from being pressed by connecting a connector at a position where a washer fluid hose passes between a weather strip and a hood of an engine room. It is related with the apparatus which can supply the washer liquid smoothly.

In general, the hood of the vehicle is provided with a nozzle to spray the washer fluid to the windshield glass, the nozzle is supplied with the washer fluid through the washer fluid hose from the washer fluid tank provided in the engine room.

FIG. 1 is a bottom view illustrating a hood to which a washer fluid hose connection structure of a typical vehicle is applied. The washer fluid hose connection structure of a typical vehicle is a hood 30 from a washer fluid tank (not shown) of the vehicle, as shown in FIG. 1. It consists of a washer liquid hose 10 for supplying the washer liquid to the nozzle 40 provided in the.

The washer fluid hose 10 is made of a flexible material and is fixed to the bottom surface of the hood 30 by a fixing clip 70. In the washer fluid hose connection structure of the general vehicle, as shown in FIG. The nozzle 40 is provided on the outside of the insulator 80 provided to reduce noise and enhance appearance.

As a result, the washer fluid hose 10 for supplying the washer fluid to the nozzle 40 does not pass through the portion where the weather strip 50 (indicated by the imaginary line) provided in the engine room and the hood 30 come into contact with each other. There was no problem that the hose 10 was pressed by the weather strip 50.

2 is a bottom view showing a hood to which a washer fluid hose connection structure of a conventional vehicle is applied, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view illustrating a washer fluid hose connection structure of a conventional vehicle.

However, in the case of the washer fluid hose connection structure of the conventional vehicle, when the nozzle 40 is positioned inside the insulator 80 to increase the appearance, as shown in FIG. 2, the washer fluid hose 10 is a weather provided in the engine room. Since it must pass between the strip 50 (indicated by the phantom line) and the hood 30 (see part A in FIG. 2), the washer fluid hose 10 is pressed by the weather strip 50 to allow the washer fluid to reach the nozzle 40. It is a situation that is not able to supply smoothly.

In order to alleviate this drawback, the washer fluid hose 10 may pass through the space between the weather strip 50 and the hood 30 of the engine room as shown in FIG. 3. 90, the distribution groove 91 is cut out and passed through.

However, since the washer fluid hose connection structure of the conventional vehicle is difficult to firmly fix the washer fluid hose through the fixing clip on the bottom of the hood, the washer fluid hose is continuously pressed when the washer fluid hose is not correctly positioned in the distribution groove. There was a technical problem that the nozzle is not supplied smoothly.

The present invention is to solve the above problems, the washer fluid hose is connected through a separate pipe-type connector washer at the position passing between the weather strip and the hood of the engine room to prevent the washer fluid hose from being pressed, the washer fluid tank It is an object of the present invention to provide a washer fluid hose connection structure for smoothly supplying washer fluid from a nozzle to a nozzle.

The present invention is a washer fluid hose for supplying the washer fluid from the washer fluid tank of the vehicle to the nozzle provided in the hood, the washer fluid hose is a high rigidity pipe is further provided by a two-way interruption between the weather strip provided in the engine room and the hood This is achieved by forming a communication by being fitted at both ends of the connector.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

4 is a plan view showing the washer fluid hose connection structure of the vehicle of the present invention, Figure 5 is a perspective view showing a connector to the washer fluid hose connection structure of the vehicle of the present invention.

The washer fluid hose connection structure of the vehicle of the present invention, as shown in Figures 2 and 4 and 5, to the washer liquid hose 10 for supplying the washer liquid from the washer liquid tank of the vehicle to the nozzle 40 provided in the hood 30 In this case, the washer fluid hose 10 is formed in communication between the two ends of the high-strength pipe-type connector 20 is further provided by two-way interruption between the weather trip 50 and the hood 30 provided in the engine room. It is the technical basic characteristic.

Hereinafter, the operation of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5.

Washer fluid hose connection structure of the vehicle of the present invention configured as described above, as shown in Figure 2, when the nozzle 40 is located inside the insulator 80 to enhance the appearance, the washer fluid hose 10 is a weather strip ( 50 must pass between the hood 30 and the washer fluid hose 10 in the passage portion is cut and bisected as shown in Fig. 4, and then the pipe-type connector 20 is further connected to the stop, thereby providing rigidity. As the high connector 20 passes between the weather strip 50 and the hood 30, the washer fluid hose 10 can be prevented from being pressed.

At this time, the connector 20 is preferably fixed to the bottom surface of the hood 30 with a fixing clip 70 so as to be located in the distribution groove 91 of the finishing material 90 provided at the edge of the weather strip 50, washer fluid hose Since the connector 20 has a high rigidity even if the groove 10 is not accurately positioned in the distribution groove 91, the connector 20 does not deform even when pressed between the weather strip 50 and the hood 30. 10) to continuously supply the washer liquid to the nozzle (40).

Here, as shown in FIG. 5, the connector 20, which is a pipe-like component, is preferably formed at both ends in a taper 21 shape, and the washer fluid hose cut by tapering 21 at both ends. (10) can be easily inserted but not easily removed.

In addition, the stopper of the connector 20 is appropriate that the ring-shaped locking jaw 22 is protruded as shown in FIG. 5, and thus the two ends of the washer fluid hose 10 divided into two parts by the same length are provided with the connector 20. More preferably).

Therefore, the washer fluid hose connection structure of the vehicle of the present invention, when the nozzle 40 is located inside the insulator 80 to improve the appearance, the washer fluid hose 10 between the weather strip 50 and the hood 30 Since the connector 20 communicates with a portion passing through the connector 20, the connector 20 can prevent the washer fluid hose 10 from being pressed, so that the washer fluid can be smoothly supplied to the nozzle 40. There is.

The above embodiment is an example for explaining the technical idea of the present invention in detail, and the scope of the present invention is not limited to the above drawings and embodiments.

According to the present invention as described above, the washer fluid hose is connected through a separate pipe type connector at a position passing between the weather strip and the hood of the engine room to prevent the washer fluid hose from being pressed, thereby smoothing the washer fluid from the washer fluid tank to the nozzle. It is an invention that can be supplied easily.
