- the curved protrusion 31 has the longest vehicle front-rear protrusion peripheral length (surface peripheral length from the vehicle front end to the vehicle rear end of the curved protrusion 31 at the vehicle width direction position) at the position of the vehicle center line CL. As the vehicle is separated from the vehicle center line CL on both sides in the vehicle width direction, the vehicle front-rear projecting circumferential length is gradually shortened.

- the largest resistance generation source is the vehicle outer shape, as is apparent from FIG.
- the second largest source of resistance is under the floor and tires, exceeding the air resistance caused by engine room ventilation. That is, it cannot be asserted that the air resistance D depends only on the external styling of the vehicle, and it is understood that consideration must be given to the resistance generation source such as the underfloor / tire and engine room ventilation.
- aerodynamic performance improvements that reduce the air resistance D have been made mainly by focusing on the external styling of the vehicle.
- the aerodynamic performance is improved by styling the outer shape of the vehicle, there is a limit due to the design restriction of securing the rear seat living space.
- the desired aerodynamic performance is set at a high level in order to extend the cruising distance, the improvement to reach the desired aerodynamic performance cannot be desired only by improving the external styling of the vehicle.
- the electric vehicle EV covers almost the entire area under the floor except for tires and the like with undercovers 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. This ensures a continuous smooth surface without unevenness from the front end of the vehicle to the rear end of the vehicle, and the mainstream line bundle FMAIN that passes under the center area under the floor centered on the vehicle center line CL by running wind that flows from the front of the vehicle. Is formed. For this reason, the traveling wind flowing in from the front of the vehicle passes through the undercovers 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 and smoothly exits to the rear of the vehicle. In particular, since the rear under cover 7 that covers the lower part of the rear floor has a diffuser structure, the action of promoting the escape of traveling wind to the rear of the vehicle is also added. Thus, the airflow D in the center area under the floor is reduced by the running wind flowing orderly and smoothly under the center area under the floor from the vehicle front end to the vehicle rear end.
- the electric vehicle EV is provided with a pair of left and right front deflectors 8L and 8R in front of the pair of left and right front tires 1L and 1R.

- the air resistance D in the front tires 1L, 1R region is reduced by suppressing the flow of the traveling wind into the front tires 1L, 1R region, which is the main cause of increasing the air resistance.
- the electric vehicle EV is provided with a pair of left and right rear deflectors 9L and 9R in front of the pair of left and right rear tires 2L and 2R.
- the flow of the traveling wind is adjusted so as to detour around the rear tires 2L, 2R during traveling.
- the air resistance D in the region of the rear tires 2L and 2R decreases due to the traveling wind that bypasses the periphery of the rear tires 2L and 2R.
- the electric vehicle EV is provided with a curved protrusion 31 for controlling the flow velocity of the traveling wind on the front under cover 3.
- the traveling wind flowing from the front end of the vehicle is collected in the central region under the front floor, and the air resistance D in the central region under the front floor is reduced.
- the electric vehicle EV of Example 1 employs an underfloor structure aimed at improving the aerodynamic performance of these underfloor / tires. For this reason, the air resistance D under the floor of the electric vehicle EV and the entire tire is reduced, and the overall aerodynamic performance that extends the cruising distance of the electric vehicle EV can be achieved.
- FIG. 12 shows the analysis test results of the flow of the traveling wind around the front under-floor / front tire of the electric vehicle conducted by the present inventors. Based on this test result, if the cause and mechanism of giving air resistance in the front underfloor region of the vehicle are analyzed, the following two points need to be taken into account when rectifying by the curved protrusion 31 of the front under cover 3. It was elucidated.
- the front wheel houses 14L and 14R engulf air to generate a vortex structure (vortex tube or vortex layer), and this vortex structure develops and has a large air resistance.
- the front tires 1L and 1R regions front tires 1L and 1R and surrounding regions (front suspension links 10L and 10R, front wheel houses 14L and 14R, etc.)
- front suspension links 10L and 10R, front wheel houses 14L and 14R, etc. are air. It turned out to be the main cause of resistance.
- the curved protrusion 31 is located at the vehicle front position from the front tires 1L and 1R. And it has arrange
- the curved projecting portion 31 has the longest vehicle front-rear projecting circumferential length at the position of the vehicle center line CL, and gradually shortens the vehicle front-rear projecting circumferential length as it moves away from the vehicle center line CL on both sides in the vehicle width direction. .
- the flow velocity of the traveling wind at the position of the vehicle center line CL of the curved protrusion 31 is the fastest and the pressure of the traveling wind is the lowest. And as it leaves
- the traveling wind is deflected in the direction of flowing from the both ends in the vehicle width direction where the pressure is high to the vehicle center line CL where the pressure is the lowest. That is, the curved projecting portion 31 adjusts the flow of the traveling wind that tends to spread in the vehicle width direction toward the rear of the vehicle into a flow that is deflected in a direction to return to the region below the front center under the front floor. Spreading in the vehicle width direction is suppressed.
- the curved protrusion 31 exhibits a rectifying action that suppresses the spread of the traveling wind in the vehicle width direction at the front underfloor position, thereby returning to the front tire region, which is the main cause of providing air resistance under the front floor.
- the flow rate of the running wind is kept low. That is, as shown in FIG. 13, main stream line bundles FMAIN in which stream lines gather below the center part below the floor are formed as the downstream streamlines of the curved protrusion 31, and the front tires 1L and 1R are arranged on both sides of the main stream line bundle FMAIN. Generation of turbulent flow in the region is suppressed.
- the protrusion part 31 was arrange
- the front top portions 8a of the pair of left and right front deflectors 8L and 8R are positioned on the straight inner surface TIN of the front tires 1L and 1R. It is arranged at a vehicle width direction inner side position closer to the vehicle center line CL. For this reason, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, when the flow of the traveling wind spreading in the vehicle width direction toward the rear of the vehicle reaches the front top 8a of the pair of left and right front deflectors 8L and 8R, the vehicle travels from the front top 8a.

Abstract
Description
図1は、実施例1の前部床下構造を適用した電気自動車(車両の一例)の全体床下構造を示す斜視図である。以下、図1に基づき全体床下構造を説明する。
曲面突出部材31は、図9に示すように、外形形状を、車幅方向寸法WLを長径とし前後方向寸法SLを短径とする楕円形状としている。突出曲面形状を、図10に示すように、車両センターラインCLの位置に突出高さPHによる最も長い円弧線素を設定する。そして、図9に示すように、車両センターラインCLから車幅方向の両側に向かって徐々に長さが短くなる相似形の円弧線素を集合させることで構成される球面立体形状とする。
つまり、曲面突出部材31は、外観的に、ラグビーボールの一部を切り取ったような突出曲面形状としている。また、曲面突出部材31は、機能的に、車両センターラインCLの位置で走行風の流速を最も速くし、車両センターラインCLから車幅方向の両側に離れるにつれて徐々に走行風の流速を低下させる形状設定としている。
まず、「車両の空気抵抗について」の説明を行う。続いて、実施例1の電気自動車EVの前部床下構造における作用を、「床下・タイヤ全体による空力性能向上作用」、「曲面突出部による前部床下・フロントタイヤの空気抵抗低減作用」、「フロントディフレクタによる前部床下・フロントタイヤの空気抵抗低減作用」、「組み合わせによる空気抵抗低減作用」に分けて説明する。
車両の空気抵抗D(N)は、
D=CD×1/2×ρ×u2×A …(1)
ここで、CD:空気抵抗係数(無次元)
ρ:空気の密度(kg/m3)
u:空気と車両との相対速度(m/sec)
A:全面投影面積(m2)
の式で定義される。
上記(1)式から明らかなように、空気抵抗Dは、空気抵抗係数CDに比例し、空気と車両との相対速度u(=走行風速度、例えば、無風の場合には車両走行速度)の2乗に比例した値となる。
(a) 空気抵抗係数CDが目標からどれだけ乖離するか?
(b) 目標からの乖離の原因はどこにあるか?
(c) その原因を解消すればどれだけ目標に漸近するか?
を把握するのが一連のプロセスである。このうち、(a),(c)は正確な計算流体学で算出された空気抵抗係数CDから知ることができるが、(b)を正確に特定するには、計算流体学から算出される速度や圧力だけでは困難である。
上記のように、電気自動車において、床下・タイヤ全体による空気抵抗をできる限り低減することは、航続距離を延ばす上で重要である。以下、これを反映する実施例1の電気自動車EVにおける床下・タイヤ全体による空力性能向上作用を説明する。
上記のように、電気自動車において、床下・タイヤ全体の空気抵抗低減の実効を図るためには、走行風の流入開始域に存在する前部床下・フロントタイヤによる乱流を抑え、空気抵抗の低減を図ることが重要である。以下、これを反映する実施例1の電気自動車EVにおけるフロントアンダーカバー3の曲面突出部31による前部床下・フロントタイヤの空気抵抗低減作用を説明する。
(A) 走行風がフロントタイヤ1L,1Rやフロントサスペンションリンク10L,10Rに当たった場合、走行風の衝突により大きな空気抵抗になるし、さらに、操舵に伴ってタイヤが回転すると走行風が攪拌され、さらに大きな空気抵抗になる。また、走行風がフロントホイールハウス14L,14Rに巻き込まれると、フロントホイールハウス14L,14Rが空気を孕んで渦構造(渦管や渦層)が発生し、この渦構造が発達して大きな空気抵抗になる。すなわち、走行風が衝突したり走行風を巻き込んだりするフロントタイヤ1L,1R領域(フロントタイヤ1L,1Rおよびその周囲領域(フロントサスペンションリンク10L,10R、フロントホイールハウス14L,14Rなど))が、空気抵抗を高める主な原因場所となっていることが分かった。
(B) 車両前方から導入され、左右一対のフロントタイヤ1L,1Rに向かってゆく走行風の流線に着目すると、例えば、船舶が航行するとき、船舶の船底が水を押しのけることにより発生する引き波に類似する現象が起きていることがわかる。すなわち、車両の走行中、前部床下が周囲の空気を押しのけることによって、図12の矢印に示すように、車両後方に向かって車幅方向に広がる広がり角度を持つ流線を描くことが分かった。
上記のように、電気自動車EVにおいて、床下・タイヤ全体の空気抵抗低減の実効を図るためには、走行風の流入開始域に存在する前部床下・フロントタイヤによる乱流を抑え、空気抵抗の低減を図ることが重要である。以下、これを反映する実施例1の電気自動車EVにおけるフロントディフレクタ8L,8Rによる前部床下・フロントタイヤの空気抵抗低減作用を説明する。
フロントディフレクタにより車両内方に分岐する走行風の流れの方向を、フロントタイヤ領域を通過するまで内側方向に保つことは、前部床下・フロントタイヤによる空気抵抗Dの低減を図る上で重要である。以下、これを反映する実施例1における曲面突出部31とフロントディフレクタ8L,8Rとの組み合わせによる空気抵抗低減作用を説明する。
実施例1の電気自動車EVの前部床下構造にあっては、下記に列挙する効果を得ることができる。
このため、走行中、前部床下の周りを流れる走行風による空気抵抗Dを低減することで、所望の空力性能向上を実現することができる。
このため、楕円形状とすることで車両前後方向の設定長さを抑えながらも、滑らかな流線によりスムーズな走行風の流れを確保する球面立体形状の曲面突出部材(曲面突出部31)により、走行風が車幅方向へ広がるのを抑えることができる。
このため、フロントアンダーカバー3を予め備えた車両において、部品点数を増大させることなく、走行風が車幅方向へ広がるのを抑える整流機能を発揮する曲面突出部31を設けることができる。
このため、曲面突出部31の前面投影面積が傾斜により拡大し、曲面突出部31に沿って流れる走行風の流れに剥離が生じるのが抑えられることでの確実な流速コントロールにより、走行風が車幅方向へ広がるのを効果的に抑えることができる。
このため、主流線束 FMAINを整然と形成する曲面突出部31と、左右一対のフロントディフレクタ8L,8Rの組み合わせにより、前部床下中央部下へ向かって戻される走行風を、主流線束 FMAINに対しスムーズに合流させることができる。
