- the lower part of the front end of the engine mount bracket 27 is spaced apart in the vertical direction with respect to the rear leg part 101b.
- the front end of the engine mount bracket 27 is inclined frontward toward the lower side so that a gap of a predetermined width is formed with the suspension tower 101 (rear leg portion 101b).
- the main frame 10 is compressed and deformed in the vehicle length direction.
- each engine mount bracket 27 is attached to a portion of each main frame 10 between the suspension tower 101 and the third cross member 13.
- the engine 32 can be disposed relatively rearward in the front portion of the main frame 10, it is possible to delay the timing at which the engine 32 moves backward during a frontal collision of the vehicle 1. As a result, the amount of energy absorbed by the compressive deformation at the front portion of the main frame 10 before the engine 32 starts to retract can be increased.
- Each engine mount bracket 27 can be attached to a portion of each main frame 10 between the suspension tower 101 and the second cross member 12. Also in this case, the engine mount brackets 27 are separated in the vehicle length direction from the connection portions of the main frames 10 to the suspension tower 101 and the connection portions to the second and third cross members 12 and 13. Thus, it is preferable to attach to each main frame 10. However, since the engine 32 tends to be disposed relatively forward in the front portion of the main frame 10, the timing at which the engine 32 moves backward in the frontal collision of the vehicle 1 is accelerated. As a result, the amount of energy absorption due to compressive deformation at the front of the main frame 10 before the engine 32 starts retreating is reduced, and therefore, energy absorption engineering that incorporates the retreat of the engine 32 whose behavior is unstable is necessary. It is said.
- the value of F2 varies greatly depending on the amount of compressive deformation of the main frames 10 in the vehicle length direction. By increasing the amount of compression deformation, the value of F2 can be reduced.
- a portion of the main frame 10 between the second and third cross members 12 and 13 includes the second and third cross members 12 and 13, the suspension tower 101, and the engine mount bracket 27.
- Many deformation-inhibiting members that inhibit compression deformation in the vehicle length direction of the main frame 10 at the time of a frontal collision are attached.
- the bump stopper 115 does not correspond to the deformation-inhibiting member because the bump stopper 115 is formed in a shape that easily compresses and deforms in the vehicle length direction as described above.
- the plurality of deformation inhibiting members are arranged in the vehicle length direction, the mounting portions of the plurality of deformation inhibiting members in the main frame 10 are further compressed and deformed in the vehicle length direction. It becomes difficult to do. For this reason, the value of F2 may be instantaneously excessive.
- the engine mount bracket 27 is separated in the vehicle length direction from the connection portion of the main frame 10 with the suspension tower 101 and the connection portions with the second and third cross members 12 and 13. Thus, it is attached to the main frame 10. That is, the plurality of deformation inhibiting members are dispersedly arranged on the main frame 10 in the vehicle length direction so that the deformation inhibiting members in the main frame 10 are reliably compressed and deformed in the vehicle length direction.
- the attachment portion of the single deformation inhibiting member in the main frame 10 is not compressed and deformed at all in the vehicle length direction. It is possible to compress and deform to some extent.
- a front leg portion 101a and a rear leg portion 101b that are branched so as to be separated from each other in the vehicle length direction are provided at the lower portion of the suspension tower 101. 10 and are separated from each other in the vehicle length direction, and a recess 126 is formed in a portion between the front leg portion 101a and the rear leg portion 101b in the main frame 10, so that the front leg portion 101a and the rear leg portion 101b in the main frame 10 are formed.
- the portion between is reliably compressed and deformed in the vehicle length direction.
- the engine mount bracket 27 is easily compressed and deformed in the vehicle length direction due to the formation of the cutout portion 27d, and coupled with the long hole 128 formed in the main frame 10, the engine in the main frame 10 is provided.
- the mounting portion of the mount bracket 27 is more likely to be compressed and deformed in the vehicle length direction. Therefore, the amount of collision energy absorbed at the time of a frontal collision of the vehicle 1 can be secured by the accumulation of the compression deformation, and an excessive impact force can be prevented from instantaneously acting on the cabin 3. it can. Further, since there are a plurality of dispersed locations where the main frame 10 is reliably compressed and deformed in the vehicle length direction, the impact force G can be easily controlled.
- the transmission 33 and the power transfer unit 34 are also retracted (that is, the power plant including the engine 32, the transmission 33 and the power transfer unit 34 is retracted), and the front side An impact force from the front to the rear acts on the shaft 37a. Accordingly, the center bearing 67 is pressed rearward by the inner pressing portion 161 and the outer pressing portion 162, and an impact force from the front toward the rear acts on the center bearing 67.
- the impact force is larger than the reference value (when the engine 32 is largely retracted)
- the rear connection portion 65c of the universal joint 65 moves relative to the front end of the rear shaft 37b while moving rearward.
- the shaft 37a and the center bearing 67 are retracted (see FIG. 29).
- the center bearing 67 is disengaged from the bearing bracket 68 (the fifth cross member 15) by the retreat of the center bearing 67.
- the pressing force P1 is applied to the joint portion 65a of the universal joint 65 from the front side connection portion 65b, and the pressing force P2 is received as a reaction force from the rear side connection portion 65.
- the rear-wheel propeller shaft 37 is rear-wheel in plan view due to the position in the vehicle width direction of the input shaft of the rear differential gear unit 38 (shifted to the right with respect to the center in the vehicle width direction of the vehicle 1).
- the joint portion 65a so that the joint portion 65a is located on the left side (the fuel tank 83 side) with respect to a straight line connecting both ends of the propeller shaft 37 (the front end of the front shaft 37a and the rear end of the rear shaft 37b). It is bent at some points. For this reason, the resultant force P3 of P1 and P2 acts on the joint portion 65a so as to make the joint portion 65a face the left side. Due to the resultant force P3, the universal joint 65, the center bearing 67, and the portion of the front shaft 37a near the center bearing 67 tend to move to the left side (the fuel tank 83 side).
- a tension that balances the resultant force P3 acts on the connecting wire 170, thereby preventing the movement.
- the center bearing 67, the universal joint 65, and the front and rear shafts 37a and 37b are subjected to gravity smaller than P1, P2, and P3, though not a force that acts suddenly.
- the center bearing 67 starts to fall after moving slightly to the left by the amount that the connecting wire 170 is in the tensioned state.
- the connecting wire 170 changes from a slack state to a stretched state the entire length of the connecting wire 170 including the mounting bracket 171 does not substantially extend (do not change).
- the connecting wire 170 is set to such a length that the center bearing 67 detached from the fifth cross member 15 does not reach the fuel tank 83.
- the rear wheel propeller shaft 37 Due to the fall of the center bearing 67, as shown in FIG. 31, the rear wheel propeller shaft 37 has the joint portion 65a below the straight line connecting both ends of the rear wheel propeller shaft 37 in a side view of the vehicle 1. It bends at the joint portion 65a so as to be located on the side. 29 to 31, the state after the collision of the front shaft 37a, the rear shaft 37b, the universal joint 65, etc. is indicated by a solid line, and the state before the collision is indicated by a two-dot chain line. Further, in FIG. 29 to FIG. 31, the main frame 10, the fifth cross member 15, the mounted components and the like are illustrated in a simplified manner.
- the main frame 10 on the collision side is compressed and deformed in the vehicle length direction as in the case of the full-wrap frontal collision, but as shown in FIG. 32, the second and third cross members 12, 13, the engine 32, the front wheel drive shaft 47, and the like do not recede straight to the rear side, and the colliding side largely recedes to the rear side relative to the non-collision side.
- the front wheel 6 (hub 50) on the collision side may press the main frame 10 on the collision side inward in the vehicle width direction.
- reference numeral 200 in FIG. 32 denotes an obstacle with which the vehicle 1 collides frontward.
- the other end of the connecting wire 170 is connected to the fifth cross member 15 to which the center bearing 67 is attached. Since the center bearing 67 is disengaged from the fifth cross member 15 when receiving an impact force larger than the reference value, a large impact force does not act on the fifth cross member 15. Further, the connection position of the fifth cross member 15 in the main frame 10 is considerably behind the position where the hub 50 and the like collide at the time of offset frontal collision. As a result, the fifth cross member 15 hardly deforms even at the time of a full wrap frontal collision or an offset frontal collision.
- the connecting wire 170 by connecting the other end of the connecting wire 170 to the fifth cross member 15 to which the center bearing 67 is attached, the bending guide of the rear wheel propeller shaft 37 by the connecting wire 170 can be obtained more reliably. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the universal joint 65, the center bearing 67, and the vicinity of the center bearing 67 of the front shaft 37a from moving to the fuel tank 83 side.
- the rear wheel propeller shaft 37 is located at the joint portion 65a so that the joint portion 65a is located on the left side with respect to a straight line connecting both ends of the rear wheel propeller shaft 37 in plan view.
- it may be bent at the joint portion 65a so that the joint portion 65a is positioned on the right side with respect to a straight line connecting both ends of the rear-wheel propeller shaft 37 in plan view.
- the entire rear wheel propeller shaft 37 may extend straight in the vehicle length direction in a plan view.
- the present invention is useful for a vehicle (particularly a small truck or SUV) in which a propeller shaft center bearing that rotatably supports the propeller shaft is attached to the chassis frame.
- chassis frame 10 main frame 15 fifth cross member (cross member to which the center bearing is attached) 37 Rear wheel propeller shaft 37a Front shaft 37b Rear shaft 65 Universal joint 67 Propeller shaft center bearing 76 Exhaust pipe 83 Fuel tank 83b Front extension 170 Connection wire (connection body)
