The tailgate is swingably attached and includes a tailgate that opens and closes the rear opening, a subopening formed in the tailgate, and a subdoor that opens and closes the subopening.
　副ドアは、いわゆる観音開きのドアである。即ち、リンク機構を介してテールゲートに２枚支持され、それぞれが離れるように車幅中央から外側に向かって開く。 The secondary door is a so-called double door. That is, two pieces are supported by the tailgate via the link mechanism, and are opened outward from the center of the vehicle width so as to be separated from each other.
　ところで、特許文献１による車両の副ドアには、窓部が形成されていない。このため、運転者が車外の確認を目視により行うことは困難である。一方、テールゲート上に副ドアが取付けられている車両においては、テールゲートと副ドアの境目の位置によって、運転者の視認可能な範囲は変化する。 By the way, a window portion is not formed on the auxiliary door of the vehicle according to Patent Document 1. For this reason, it is difficult for the driver to visually check outside the vehicle. On the other hand, in a vehicle in which a secondary door is mounted on the tailgate, the visible range of the driver varies depending on the position of the boundary between the tailgate and the secondary door.

The pillar 43 is integrally attached to the tailgate 40. Since the pillar 43 is formed in the tailgate 40, the rigidity can be increased with respect to the external force that can be received from the rear of the vehicle 10.
　副開口５０がテールゲート４０の上下方向に渡って形成されていることにより、副開口５０がない場合に比べ、テールゲート４０の強度が弱まっている。強度が低いと、車両の走行中に路面から受ける振動によって、副開口５０の周縁の部位に弾性変形が発生し得る。これに対して、ピラー４３を副開口５０の側縁に沿わせて設けた。副開口５０の側縁に沿って上下方向に渡って設けられていることにより、テールゲート４０の強度を高め、弾性変形の発生を抑制することができる。 Since the sub-opening 50 is formed over the tail gate 40 in the vertical direction, the strength of the tail gate 40 is weaker than when the sub-opening 50 is not provided. If the strength is low, elastic deformation may occur in the peripheral portion of the sub-opening 50 due to vibration received from the road surface during traveling of the vehicle. On the other hand, the pillar 43 is provided along the side edge of the sub opening 50. By being provided in the vertical direction along the side edge of the sub-opening 50, the strength of the tailgate 40 can be increased and the occurrence of elastic deformation can be suppressed.
　テールゲート４０の上部には、車室から車外を確認するための開口であるテールゲート窓部４４が形成されている。テールゲート窓部４４は、ガラス製のテールゲート窓パネル４５によって覆われている。テールゲート窓パネル４５は、テールゲート窓部４４を覆うと共に、ピラー４３の車外側をも覆っている。 A tailgate window 44 that is an opening for confirming the outside of the vehicle from the passenger compartment is formed on the tailgate 40. The tailgate window 44 is covered with a glass tailgate window panel 45. The tailgate window panel 45 covers the tailgate window 44 and also covers the outside of the pillar 43.
　なお、テールゲート窓パネル４５には、ガラスの他、樹脂製のパネル等、透明のパネルであれば任意の素材を採用することができる。以下、適宜、テールゲート窓パネル４５を「テールゲート窓ガラス４５」という。 The tailgate window panel 45 can be made of any material as long as it is a transparent panel such as a resin panel in addition to glass. Hereinafter, the tailgate window panel 45 is appropriately referred to as “tailgate window glass 45”.
　副開口５０は、略矩形を呈し、後部開口３０の上縁３０ａに沿って形成されている上縁５０ａと、この上縁５０ａの一端から下げられピラー４３に沿って延びている側縁５０ｂと、上縁５０ａの他端から下げられ後部開口３０の側縁３０ｃに沿って延びている側縁５０ｃと、これらの側縁５０ｂ，５０ｃの下端同士を結ぶ下縁５０ｄとから形成されている。 The sub-opening 50 has a substantially rectangular shape, and includes an upper edge 50 a formed along the upper edge 30 a of the rear opening 30, and a side edge 50 b that is lowered from one end of the upper edge 50 a and extends along the pillar 43. The side edge 50c is lowered from the other end of the upper edge 50a and extends along the side edge 30c of the rear opening 30 and the lower edge 50d connecting the lower ends of these side edges 50b and 50c.
　車幅中央において上下方向に延びている中心線Ｃ２は、副開口５０の側縁５０ｂ，５０ｃによって挟まれている。即ち、副開口５０の側縁５０ｂ，５０ｃは、車幅中央を避けた部位に位置している。テールゲート４０に開口されている副開口５０の車幅方向の幅は、当然に後部開口３０の幅よりも小さい。上下方向に延びている中心線Ｃ２は、第１開閉軸２１に直交している。 The center line C2 extending in the vertical direction at the center of the vehicle width is sandwiched between the side edges 50b and 50c of the sub-opening 50. That is, the side edges 50b and 50c of the sub-opening 50 are located at a portion that avoids the center of the vehicle width. The width in the vehicle width direction of the sub-opening 50 opened in the tailgate 40 is naturally smaller than the width of the rear opening 30. A center line C <b> 2 extending in the vertical direction is orthogonal to the first opening / closing shaft 21.
　副ドア６０は、２つのヒンジ８０を介してピラー４３に支持されている。２つのヒンジ８０の中心を通り、鉛直方向に延びている軸を第２開閉軸４７といい、この第２開閉軸４７を中心に副ドア６０はスイングする。副ドア６０は、車体１１の前後方向、且つ、水平方向にスイングする。 The auxiliary door 60 is supported by the pillar 43 through two hinges 80. An axis passing through the centers of the two hinges 80 and extending in the vertical direction is referred to as a second opening / closing shaft 47, and the sub door 60 swings about the second opening / closing shaft 47. The sub door 60 swings in the front-rear direction and the horizontal direction of the vehicle body 11.
　副ドア６０には、車幅方向端部の近傍に、副ドア６０のロック状態を解除するための副ドア用ノブ６１が取付けられている。操作者は、副ドア用ノブ６１を引くようにしてロック状態を解除し、副ドア６０をスイングさせる。副ドア６０は車幅方向端部から車幅中央に向かってスイングする。 The sub door 60 is provided with a sub door knob 61 for releasing the lock state of the sub door 60 in the vicinity of the end in the vehicle width direction. The operator releases the lock state by pulling the sub door knob 61 and swings the sub door 60. The auxiliary door 60 swings from the vehicle width direction end toward the vehicle width center.
　副ドア６０の上部には、テールゲート窓部４４に連続して、車室から車外を確認するための開口である副ドア窓部６４が形成されている。副ドア窓部６４は、ガラス製の副ドア窓パネル６５によって覆われている。 A sub door window portion 64 that is an opening for confirming the outside of the vehicle from the passenger compartment is formed on the upper portion of the sub door 60 continuously from the tailgate window portion 44. The sub door window 64 is covered with a glass sub door window panel 65.
　なお、副ドア窓パネル６５には、ガラスの他、樹脂製のパネル等、透明のパネルであれば任意の素材を採用することができる。以下、適宜、副ドア窓パネル６５を「副ドア窓ガラス６５」という。 The sub door window panel 65 may be made of any material as long as it is a transparent panel other than glass, such as a resin panel. Hereinafter, the sub door window panel 65 will be referred to as “sub door window glass 65” as appropriate.
　テールゲート窓部４４と、副ドア窓部６４とは、同じ高さを有する（上下方向の長さが同じである）と共に、高さ方向の同じ位置に位置している。このことにより、テールゲート窓部４４と、副ドア窓部６４とは、一体的に連続している。テールゲート窓部４４と副ドア窓部６４とをまとめて、適宜「窓部７０」という。窓部７０は、車幅方向の全体に渡って形成されている。全体に渡って形成されているため、当然に、窓部７０は、少なくとも車幅中央位置に形成されている。ピラー４３は、テールゲート窓部４４の近傍に位置する副開口５０の側縁５０ｂと、テールゲート窓部４４との間に、上下間に渡って連続して形成されている。 The tailgate window portion 44 and the sub door window portion 64 have the same height (the length in the vertical direction is the same) and are located at the same position in the height direction. As a result, the tailgate window 44 and the sub door window 64 are integrally continuous. The tailgate window 44 and the sub door window 64 are collectively referred to as “window 70” as appropriate. The window portion 70 is formed over the entire vehicle width direction. Since it is formed over the whole, naturally, the window part 70 is formed in the vehicle width center position at least. The pillar 43 is formed continuously between the side edge 50 b of the sub-opening 50 located in the vicinity of the tailgate window portion 44 and the tailgate window portion 44 in the vertical direction.
　特に、図３を参照するに、副開口５０は、テールゲート４０の略左半分の全範囲にわたって開口している。ここで、略半分とは、テールゲート４０の幅Ｗ１に対して、副開口５０の幅Ｗ２が０．３～０．７であることを言う。即ち、Ｗ２＝０．３～０．７×Ｗ１。本発明においては、テールゲート４０の半分である値の０．５を含み、前後２割までの範囲を含む。副開口５０がテールゲート４０の右半分に形成される場合も同様である。図３の副開口５０の幅は、テールゲート４０の幅Ｗ１に対して、０．７×Ｗ１だけある。即ち、図３においては、Ｗ２＝０．７×Ｗ１。 In particular, referring to FIG. 3, the sub-opening 50 opens over the entire left half of the tailgate 40. Here, “substantially half” means that the width W2 of the sub-opening 50 is 0.3 to 0.7 with respect to the width W1 of the tailgate 40. That is, W2 = 0.3 to 0.7 × W1. In the present invention, it includes 0.5, which is half of the tailgate 40, and includes a range up to 20%. The same applies when the sub-opening 50 is formed in the right half of the tailgate 40. The width of the sub-opening 50 in FIG. 3 is 0.7 × W1 with respect to the width W1 of the tailgate 40. That is, in FIG. 3, W2 = 0.7 × W1.
　副開口５０の幅Ｗ２が、０．３×Ｗ１未満になると、荷物の積み卸しや人の乗降をするのに、副開口５０の幅が狭すぎる。一方、副開口５０の幅Ｗ２が、０．７×Ｗ２を超えると、副ドア６０を開けた際に副ドア６０の車両後方への突出量が大きくなりすぎる。 If the width W2 of the sub-opening 50 is less than 0.3 × W1, the width of the sub-opening 50 is too narrow for loading and unloading luggage and getting on and off people. On the other hand, if the width W2 of the sub-opening 50 exceeds 0.7 × W2, when the sub-door 60 is opened, the amount of protrusion of the sub-door 60 toward the rear of the vehicle becomes too large.
　副開口５０の幅Ｗ２をＷ２＝０．３～０．７×Ｗ１とする、即ち、テールゲート４０の幅Ｗ１の略半分とすることにより、荷物の積み卸しや人の乗降に十分なスペースを確保しすることができる。また、副ドア６０の突出量を抑えることにより、車両１０の周りの設置物が副ドア６０に干渉することを抑制する。 By setting the width W2 of the sub-opening 50 to W2 = 0.3 to 0.7 × W1, that is, approximately half of the width W1 of the tailgate 40, a sufficient space for loading and unloading luggage and getting on and off people is obtained. Can be secured. Further, by suppressing the protrusion amount of the sub door 60, it is possible to prevent the objects around the vehicle 10 from interfering with the sub door 60.
　特に、図４に示すように、テールゲート４０の車幅中央を上下に延びている中心線Ｃ２を通って、車体前後方向に延びる面を中央面ＣＰとした場合に、窓部７０が、中央面ＣＰに重なる位置に形成されている。 In particular, as shown in FIG. 4, when the center plane CP is a surface extending in the vehicle longitudinal direction through the center line C2 extending vertically in the vehicle width center of the tailgate 40, the window portion 70 is It is formed at a position overlapping the surface CP.
　図１及び図３に示すように、車幅方向の端部に沿って延びている副開口５０の側縁５０ｃは、車体前後方向に延びている車幅中心Ｃ１及び車体上下方向に延びている車幅中心Ｃ２に対して、運転席１２とは反対側に位置している。一方、車幅中央側の副開口５０の側縁５０ｂは、車体前後方向に延びている車幅中心Ｃ１及び車体上下方向に延びている車幅中心Ｃ２に対して、運転席１２側に位置している。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the side edge 50c of the sub-opening 50 extending along the end in the vehicle width direction extends in the vehicle width center C1 extending in the vehicle body longitudinal direction and in the vehicle body vertical direction. It is located on the opposite side to the driver's seat 12 with respect to the vehicle width center C2. On the other hand, the side edge 50b of the sub-opening 50 on the vehicle width center side is located on the driver's seat 12 side with respect to the vehicle width center C1 extending in the vehicle body longitudinal direction and the vehicle width center C2 extending in the vehicle body vertical direction. ing.
　ピラー４３及び第２開閉軸４７は、車体１１を後方から見た場合に、運転席１２に重なる位置に取付けられている。また、第２開閉軸４７は、副開口５０の側縁５０ｂの側部に延びている。この副開口５０の側縁５０ｂは、運転席１２側の側縁ということができる。 The pillar 43 and the second opening / closing shaft 47 are attached to a position overlapping the driver's seat 12 when the vehicle body 11 is viewed from the rear. The second opening / closing shaft 47 extends to the side portion of the side edge 50 b of the sub opening 50. The side edge 50b of the sub-opening 50 can be said to be a side edge on the driver's seat 12 side.
　図５に示されるように、副ドア６０は、閉断面状のピラー４３によって、ヒンジ８０を介して支持されている。ピラー４３には、副ドア６０と車室内とをシールするシール部材８５及びヒンジ８０が取付けられている。ピラー４３を閉断面状にすることにより、ピラー４３剛性を高めることができる。 As shown in FIG. 5, the sub door 60 is supported by a closed cross-sectional pillar 43 via a hinge 80. A seal member 85 and a hinge 80 for sealing the sub door 60 and the passenger compartment are attached to the pillar 43. By making the pillar 43 into a closed cross-sectional shape, the rigidity of the pillar 43 can be increased.
　ヒンジ８０は、略Ｌ字状を呈し、ピラー４３に取付けられる底部８１と、この底部８１から車体後方に向かって延びているアーム部８２と、このアーム部８２の先端に取付けられ副ドア６０をスイング可能に支持するピン８３と、底部８１及びアーム部８２間に渡されると共にこれらを補強する補強部８４とからなる。副ドア６０には、被取付部材６７が締結され、この被取付部材６７にピン８３が通されている。 The hinge 80 is substantially L-shaped and has a bottom portion 81 attached to the pillar 43, an arm portion 82 extending from the bottom portion 81 toward the rear of the vehicle body, and a sub door 60 attached to the tip of the arm portion 82. It consists of a pin 83 that is supported so as to be swingable, and a reinforcing portion 84 that is passed between the bottom portion 81 and the arm portion 82 and reinforces them. An attached member 67 is fastened to the sub door 60, and a pin 83 is passed through the attached member 67.
　副ドア６０は、テールゲート４０にヒンジ８０によって車体前後方向にスイング可能に取り付けられている。ヒンジ８０によって副ドア６０をスイング可能に支持しているので、副ドア６０の支持構造が簡略化できる。 The auxiliary door 60 is attached to the tailgate 40 by a hinge 80 so as to be swingable in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body. Since the sub door 60 is swingably supported by the hinge 80, the support structure of the sub door 60 can be simplified.
　加えて、剛性の高いピラー４３にヒンジ８０によって副ドア６０を支持することにより、副ドア６０の支持剛性を高めることができる。 In addition, the support rigidity of the sub door 60 can be increased by supporting the sub door 60 by the hinge 80 on the highly rigid pillar 43.
　次に、図６に基づいてテールゲート窓ガラス４５と副ドア窓ガラス６５との詳細を説明する。
　図６に示されるように、各窓ガラス４５，６５の１つの縁４５ａ，６５ａ同士は互いに対向している。各窓ガラス４５，６５の縁４５ａ，６５ａ同士が互いに直接に対向していることにより、車両１０を後方から見た際に、各窓ガラス４５，６５が一体的に見え、車両の意匠性を高めることができる。 Next, details of the tailgate window glass 45 and the auxiliary door window glass 65 will be described with reference to FIG.
As FIG. 6 shows, one edge 45a, 65a of each window glass 45, 65 has mutually opposed. Since the edges 45a and 65a of the window glasses 45 and 65 are directly opposed to each other, when the vehicle 10 is viewed from the rear, the window glasses 45 and 65 can be seen integrally, thereby improving the design of the vehicle. Can be increased.
　加えて、各窓ガラス４５，６５の縁４５ａ，６５ａは、共に円弧形状を呈している。副ドア窓ガラス６５は、副ドア６０と共にスイングする。各窓ガラス４５，６５の縁４５ａ，６５ａを円弧形状とすることにより、スイングする際に、互いが干渉することを防止する。干渉を防止することにより、各窓ガラス４５，６５の縁４５ａ，６５ａをより近付けて配置することができ、さらに意匠性を高めることができる。 In addition, the edges 45a and 65a of the window glasses 45 and 65 both have an arc shape. The sub door window glass 65 swings together with the sub door 60. By making the edges 45a and 65a of the window glasses 45 and 65 arc-shaped, they are prevented from interfering with each other when swinging. By preventing the interference, the edges 45a and 65a of the window glasses 45 and 65 can be arranged closer to each other, and the design can be further improved.
　図７及び図８において、車両１０の作用を説明する。
　図７に示されるように、大きな荷物ＢＣを車両１０に積み込む場合には、テールゲート４０を上方にスイングさせる。後部開口３０が車体１１の後部全体に開口しているので、容易に大きな荷物を積み込むことができる。 7 and 8, the operation of the vehicle 10 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 7, when a large load BC is loaded on the vehicle 10, the tailgate 40 is swung upward. Since the rear opening 30 opens to the entire rear portion of the vehicle body 11, a large load can be easily loaded.
　図８に示されるように、後部開口３０は、車体１１の後部の高さ方向の略全範囲にわたって開口し、副開口５０は、テールゲート４０の高さ方向の略全範囲にわたって開口している。これにより、副開口５０を後部開口３０の高さ方向の略全範囲にわたって形成することができる。高さの高い副開口５０を用いることにより、車両１０の後部から人が乗降することができる。 As shown in FIG. 8, the rear opening 30 opens over substantially the entire range in the height direction of the rear portion of the vehicle body 11, and the sub-opening 50 opens over substantially the entire range in the height direction of the tailgate 40. . Thereby, the sub opening 50 can be formed over substantially the entire range of the height direction of the rear opening 30. By using the sub-opening 50 having a high height, a person can get on and off from the rear of the vehicle 10.
　加えて、小さな荷物ＳＣを車両１０に積み込む場合には、副ドア６０を水平方向にスイングさせる。副ドア６０は、副開口５０の車幅方向の端部側の側縁５０ｃから開き始める。副ドア６０は、テールゲート４０の一部であるため、テールゲート４０よりも軽い。テールゲート４０よりも軽いので、開閉操作が容易であり、操作性に優れる。 In addition, when the small luggage SC is loaded on the vehicle 10, the auxiliary door 60 is swung in the horizontal direction. The sub door 60 starts to open from the side edge 50c on the end side in the vehicle width direction of the sub opening 50. The secondary door 60 is lighter than the tailgate 40 because it is part of the tailgate 40. Since it is lighter than the tailgate 40, the opening / closing operation is easy and the operability is excellent.
　図３も参照すると、副開口５０は、テールゲート４０の略左半分の全範囲にわたって開口している。副ドア６０を開けた際の小さな荷物ＳＣの積み卸しは、副開口５０から行い、テールゲート４０の副開口５０が形成されない部位には、副ドア６０を支持するためのヒンジ８０が取り付けられる。テールゲート４０の略左半分の全範囲を副開口５０とすることにより、小さな荷物ＳＣの積み卸しに必要な開口の面積を確保しつつ、副ドア６０を支持するためのヒンジ８０を取り付けるために必要なスペースを十分に確保することができる。 Referring also to FIG. 3, the sub-opening 50 opens over the entire left half of the tailgate 40. When the sub door 60 is opened, the small loads SC are loaded and unloaded from the sub opening 50, and a hinge 80 for supporting the sub door 60 is attached to a portion of the tailgate 40 where the sub opening 50 is not formed. In order to attach the hinge 80 for supporting the sub door 60 while securing the area of the opening necessary for loading and unloading the small luggage SC by making the entire left half of the tailgate 40 the sub opening 50. Sufficient space can be secured.
　図９及び図１０において車両１０の走行中の作用について説明する。
　図９（ａ）及び図１０（ａ）の比較例に示されるように、ピラー１４３が車幅中央に延びている場合には、ピラー１４３が後方を走行する他の車両ＯＣの大部分に重なる。このため、乗員は他の車両ＯＣをルームミラー１１８を介して視認し難い。特に、車両１１０と後方を走行する他の車両ＯＣとの距離が離れると、他の車両ＯＣがピラー１４３に完全に重なり、視認できなくなる虞がある。 The operation of the vehicle 10 during traveling will be described with reference to FIGS.
As shown in the comparative examples of FIGS. 9A and 10A, when the pillar 143 extends in the center of the vehicle width, the pillar 143 overlaps most of the other vehicles OC traveling behind. . For this reason, it is difficult for an occupant to visually recognize another vehicle OC through the room mirror 118. In particular, if the distance between the vehicle 110 and another vehicle OC traveling behind is increased, the other vehicle OC may completely overlap the pillar 143 and may not be visible.
　なお、図９（ａ）に示されている、ルームミラー１１８から延びている線によって挟まれ、斜線で示されている領域は、ルームミラー１１８によって確認することができる領域である。即ち、斜線で示される領域と領域の間は、ピラー１４３によって視界が妨げられる領域である。 It should be noted that the area shown by hatching between the lines extending from the room mirror 118 shown in FIG. 9A is an area that can be confirmed by the room mirror 118. That is, the area between the areas indicated by the oblique lines is an area where the visibility is hindered by the pillar 143.
　図９（ｂ）及び図１０（ｂ）の実施例に示されるように、車体１１の右側（運転席側）に配置されているピラー４３は、ルームミラー１８の視界の一部を遮る。しかし、ピラー４３が右側に寄せられていることにより、車両１０の後方を走行する他の車両ＯＣをルームミラー１８により確認することができる。 9B and 10B, the pillar 43 disposed on the right side (driver's seat side) of the vehicle body 11 blocks a part of the field of view of the room mirror 18. However, since the pillar 43 is moved to the right side, another vehicle OC traveling behind the vehicle 10 can be confirmed by the room mirror 18.
　加えて、図９（ｃ）に示されるように、運転席を基準にして、他の車両ＯＣが外側の車線を走行している場合には、サイドミラー１９によって後続車ＯＣを確認することができる。また、図９（ｄ）に示されるように、車両１０は、カーブの走行中においても後続車ＯＣを十分に確認することができる。 In addition, as shown in FIG. 9C, when the other vehicle OC is traveling in the outer lane with respect to the driver's seat, the side vehicle 19 can confirm the following vehicle OC. it can. Further, as shown in FIG. 9D, the vehicle 10 can sufficiently check the subsequent vehicle OC even during the traveling of the curve.
　図１１において後退させる場合における車両の作用を説明する。
　図１１（ａ）に示されるように、車両１０を店舗の駐車場Ｐに後退させて駐車することや、図１１（ｂ）に示されるように、高速道路のサービスエリアのように、運転席とは逆側から他の車両ＯＣが走行している場所に車両１０を後退させる場合がある。 The operation of the vehicle when reversing in FIG. 11 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 11 (a), the vehicle 10 is retracted and parked in the parking lot P of the store, or as shown in FIG. 11 (b), the driver's seat The vehicle 10 may be moved backward from the opposite side to a place where another vehicle OC is traveling.
　図１１（ｃ）も参照して、車両１０を後退させる場合においても、ピラー４３が運転席に重なる部位に配置されていることにより、運転者は広い視界を得ることができる。 Referring also to FIG. 11 (c), even when the vehicle 10 is moved backward, the driver 43 can obtain a wide field of view because the pillar 43 is disposed at a portion overlapping the driver's seat.
　以上に説明した図９及び図１０に加え、図３も参照して以下のようにいうことができる。
　副開口５０の側縁５０ｂ，５０ｃは、車体１１の車幅中央Ｃ２を避けた部位に位置していると共に、テールゲート４０の車幅中央位置Ｃ２に窓部７０が設けられている。少なくとも中央位置Ｃ２に窓部７０が設けられていることにより、最低限の視界を確保することができる。また、副開口５０の側縁５０ｂ，５０ｃが、窓部７０を避けた部位に位置していることにより、副開口５０の側縁５０ｂ，５０ｃが視界の妨げになることを防止する。即ち、本発明による車両１０は、副ドア６０が取付けられていながらも、高い視認性を確保することのできる車両ということができる。 In addition to FIGS. 9 and 10 described above, FIG. 3 can be referred to as follows.
The side edges 50b and 50c of the sub-opening 50 are located at a portion avoiding the vehicle width center C2 of the vehicle body 11, and a window portion 70 is provided at the vehicle width center position C2 of the tailgate 40. By providing the window portion 70 at least at the center position C2, a minimum field of view can be secured. Further, since the side edges 50b and 50c of the sub-opening 50 are located at a site avoiding the window portion 70, the side edges 50b and 50c of the sub-opening 50 are prevented from obstructing the field of view. That is, the vehicle 10 according to the present invention can be said to be a vehicle that can ensure high visibility even though the sub door 60 is attached.
　加えて、副ドア窓部６４は、副ドア６０の車幅方向の両端に渡って形成され、テールゲート窓部４４は、テールゲート４０の車幅方向の両端に渡って形成されている。即ち、窓部７０は、車幅方向に渡って形成されている。副開口５０の側縁５０ｂ，５０ｃが視界の妨げになることを防止しつつ広い範囲に窓部７０を形成することにより、より高い視認性を確保することができる。 In addition, the sub door window portion 64 is formed over both ends of the sub door 60 in the vehicle width direction, and the tail gate window portion 44 is formed over both ends of the tail gate 40 in the vehicle width direction. That is, the window part 70 is formed over the vehicle width direction. By forming the window portion 70 in a wide range while preventing the side edges 50b and 50c of the sub-opening 50 from obstructing the field of view, higher visibility can be ensured.
　さらに、テールゲート窓部４４及び副ドア窓部６４は、テールゲート４０に対して略同じ高さに位置している。即ち、テールゲート窓部４４及び副ドア窓部６４は、連続的に形成されている。高さ方向において連続した視界を得ることができる。 Furthermore, the tailgate window 44 and the sub door window 64 are located at substantially the same height with respect to the tailgate 40. That is, the tailgate window 44 and the sub door window 64 are formed continuously. A continuous field of view can be obtained in the height direction.
　さらに図１及び図２を参照して、以下のことがいえる。
　車体１１には、車幅方向中心Ｃ１，Ｃ２に対しオフセットした運転席１２が配置され、ピラー４３（第２開閉軸４７）は、車体１１を後方から見た場合に、運転席１２に重なる位置に取付けられている。即ち、ピラー４３（第２開閉軸４７）は、運転席１２に重なる位置に設けられている。車両１０の前後方向において、運転席１２に重なる部位は、運転者Ｍｎにとって目視するのが困難な部位である。即ち、運転者Ｍｎの視界に入りやすい部位を避けてピラー４３（第２開閉軸４７）を設けた。運転者Ｍｎの視界に入りやすい部位を避けることにより、運転者Ｍｎの視界を良好に確保することができる。 Further, with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the following can be said.
The vehicle body 11 is provided with a driver seat 12 that is offset with respect to the center C1 and C2 in the vehicle width direction, and the pillar 43 (second opening / closing shaft 47) is positioned so as to overlap the driver seat 12 when the vehicle body 11 is viewed from the rear. Installed on. That is, the pillar 43 (second opening / closing shaft 47) is provided at a position overlapping the driver's seat 12. In the front-rear direction of the vehicle 10, the portion overlapping the driver's seat 12 is a portion that is difficult for the driver Mn to see. In other words, the pillar 43 (second opening / closing shaft 47) is provided to avoid a portion that is easy to enter the field of view of the driver Mn. By avoiding a part that easily enters the field of view of the driver Mn, the field of view of the driver Mn can be secured satisfactorily.
　加えて、副開口５０の車幅中央側の側縁５０ｂは、車幅中心Ｃ１，Ｃ２に対し運転席１２側に位置している。副開口５０の車幅中央側の側縁５０ｂが運転席１２側に位置していることにより、副ドア窓部６４とテールゲート窓部４４との境界も運転席１２側に位置する。運転者Ｍｎが視認し難い運転席１２後方の部位に、副ドア窓部６４とテールゲート窓部４４との境界を位置させることにより、運転者Ｍｎの視界をより確保することができる。 In addition, the side edge 50b on the vehicle width center side of the sub-opening 50 is located on the driver seat 12 side with respect to the vehicle width centers C1 and C2. Since the side edge 50b on the vehicle width center side of the auxiliary opening 50 is located on the driver's seat 12 side, the boundary between the auxiliary door window portion 64 and the tailgate window portion 44 is also located on the driver's seat 12 side. By locating the boundary between the sub door window portion 64 and the tailgate window portion 44 at a position behind the driver's seat 12 that is difficult for the driver Mn to visually recognize, the visibility of the driver Mn can be further ensured.
　図１２～図１４において、副ドア６０の作用について説明する。
　図１２（ａ）の比較例に示されるように、テールゲート２４０のみを有する車両２００は、荷物の積み卸しをする際に、常にテールゲート２４０を開ける必要がある。テールゲート２４０を開くと、テールゲート２４０の高さ分だけテールゲート２４０が車両の後方に突出する。 The operation of the sub door 60 will be described with reference to FIGS.
As shown in the comparative example of FIG. 12A, the vehicle 200 having only the tailgate 240 needs to always open the tailgate 240 when loading and unloading luggage. When the tailgate 240 is opened, the tailgate 240 protrudes toward the rear of the vehicle by the height of the tailgate 240.
　一方、図１２（ｂ）に示されるように、実施例による車両１０は、テールゲートの一部に取り付けられた副ドア６０を有している。副ドア６０は、テールゲート４０の幅の略半分である。副ドア６０の幅が小さいと、テールゲート４０を開いた場合に比べ、車両１０後部への副ドア６０の突出量を突出差δだけ抑えることができる。車両１０後部への突出量を抑制することにより、車両１０の周りの設置物が副ドア６０の開閉に干渉することを抑制することができる。即ち、荷物の積み卸し作業を行うのに、狭いスペースがあれば足りる。 On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 12 (b), the vehicle 10 according to the embodiment has a sub door 60 attached to a part of the tailgate. The sub door 60 is approximately half the width of the tailgate 40. When the width of the sub door 60 is small, the amount of protrusion of the sub door 60 to the rear of the vehicle 10 can be suppressed by the protrusion difference δ, compared to the case where the tailgate 40 is opened. By suppressing the amount of protrusion to the rear portion of the vehicle 10, it is possible to suppress the installation objects around the vehicle 10 from interfering with the opening and closing of the sub door 60. In other words, a small space is sufficient for loading and unloading work.
　図１３（ａ）に示されるように、比較例による車両３００は、副ドア３６０が車幅中央から車幅端部に向かって開閉する。即ち、副ドア３６０が、車幅中央側の側縁３５０ｂから開く。このような車両３００の荷室３１６に、ゴルフバックやベビーカー等の長尺の荷物Ｃａを入れる際には、副ドア３６０に接触しないよう、荷物Ｃａを車幅に対して十分に傾ける必要がある。つまり、傾き角θ１が大きい。しかし、傾けた状態で荷物Ｃａを入れようとすると、荷物Ｃａの先端が後部シート３１５に接触し、うまく収納できないことがある。 As shown in FIG. 13A, in the vehicle 300 according to the comparative example, the sub door 360 opens and closes from the vehicle width center toward the vehicle width end. That is, the sub door 360 opens from the side edge 350b on the vehicle width center side. When a long baggage Ca such as a golf bag or a stroller is placed in the luggage compartment 316 of the vehicle 300, the baggage Ca needs to be sufficiently tilted with respect to the vehicle width so as not to contact the auxiliary door 360. . That is, the inclination angle θ1 is large. However, if an attempt is made to put the luggage Ca in an inclined state, the front end of the luggage Ca may contact the rear seat 315 and may not be stored well.
　一方、図１３（ｂ）に示されるように、実施例による車両１０の副ドア６０は、車幅方向端部から車幅中央に向かって開く。副ドア６０が車幅中央に向かって開いているため、長尺の荷物Ｃａの収納時に、車幅方向に対して荷物Ｃａを少しだけ傾ければよい。つまり、荷物Ｃａの傾き角θ２が小さくてすむ。このように、荷物Ｃａを少しだけ傾ければよいため、荷物Ｃａは収納時に後部シート１５に干渉しない。従って、後部シート１５に干渉しないため、容易に長尺の荷物Ｃａを収納することができる。 On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 13B, the sub door 60 of the vehicle 10 according to the embodiment opens from the end in the vehicle width direction toward the center of the vehicle width. Since the auxiliary door 60 opens toward the center of the vehicle width, it is only necessary to slightly tilt the luggage Ca with respect to the vehicle width direction when storing the long luggage Ca. That is, the inclination angle θ2 of the load Ca can be small. Thus, since it is sufficient to tilt the luggage Ca slightly, the luggage Ca does not interfere with the rear seat 15 during storage. Therefore, since the rear seat 15 is not interfered with, the long luggage Ca can be easily stored.
　図１４（ａ）に示されるように、比較例による車両３００によれば、テールゲート３４０の車幅中央近傍から副ドア３６０が開き始める。副ドア３６０を開くための副ドア用ノブは、副ドア３６０が開き始める部位の近傍、即ち、車幅中央に取り付けられている。この副ドア３６０を開ける乗員は、まず、助手席３１３から車両３００の後部コーナ部まで移動する。そして後部コーナ部から車両３００の後部中央まで移動し、副ドア３６０を開ける。 As shown in FIG. 14 (a), according to the vehicle 300 according to the comparative example, the auxiliary door 360 starts to open from the vicinity of the vehicle width center of the tailgate 340. The sub door knob for opening the sub door 360 is attached in the vicinity of the portion where the sub door 360 begins to open, that is, in the center of the vehicle width. The occupant who opens the auxiliary door 360 first moves from the passenger seat 313 to the rear corner portion of the vehicle 300. Then, the vehicle moves from the rear corner portion to the center of the rear portion of the vehicle 300 and opens the auxiliary door 360.
　一方、図１４（ｂ）に示されるように、実施例による車両１０によれば、テールゲート４０の車幅方向の端部近傍から副ドア６０が開き始める。副ドア６０を開くための副ドア用ノブ６１（図３）は、副ドア６０が開き始める部位の近傍に取り付けられている。この副ドア６０を開ける乗員は、まず、助手席１３から車両１０の後部コーナ部まで移動する。車両１０の後部コーナ部とテールゲート４０の車幅方向の端部とは、近接しているため、副ドア６０を開くための副ドア用ノブもこの近傍に取り付けられている。このため、乗員は、車両後方を車幅中央まで移動することなく、副ドア６０を開くことができる。車両後方を車幅中央まで移動しない分、車両周縁の移動距離を短くすることができる。 On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 14B, according to the vehicle 10 according to the embodiment, the sub door 60 starts to open from the vicinity of the end of the tail gate 40 in the vehicle width direction. A sub door knob 61 (FIG. 3) for opening the sub door 60 is attached in the vicinity of a portion where the sub door 60 starts to open. The occupant who opens the auxiliary door 60 first moves from the passenger seat 13 to the rear corner portion of the vehicle 10. Since the rear corner portion of the vehicle 10 and the end portion of the tailgate 40 in the vehicle width direction are close to each other, a sub door knob for opening the sub door 60 is also attached in the vicinity thereof. Therefore, the occupant can open the sub door 60 without moving the vehicle rear to the center of the vehicle width. Since the vehicle rear does not move to the center of the vehicle width, the movement distance of the vehicle periphery can be shortened.
　図１及び図３も併せて参照すると、運転席１２は車幅中心Ｃ１，Ｃ２に対して一方にオフセットして配置され、副開口５０の一方の側縁５０ｃ（図４）は運転席１２とは反対側に位置している。即ち、副開口５０の副ドア６０が開き始める方の側縁が助手席１３側に位置している。車道近傍において荷物の積み卸しをする際には、車道から離れた位置で作業を行うことが望ましい。本発明によれば、副ドア６０を助手席１３側の端部から開き始める構成とすることにより、車道から離れた位置において荷物の積み卸し作業を容易に行うことができる。 Referring also to FIGS. 1 and 3, the driver's seat 12 is disposed offset to one side with respect to the vehicle width centers C <b> 1 and C <b> 2, and one side edge 50 c (FIG. 4) of the sub-opening 50 is connected to the driver seat 12. Is on the opposite side. That is, the side edge of the sub opening 50 where the sub door 60 begins to open is located on the passenger seat 13 side. When loading and unloading luggage near the roadway, it is desirable to work at a position away from the roadway. According to the present invention, loading and unloading work can be easily performed at a position away from the roadway by adopting a configuration in which the sub door 60 starts to open from the end on the passenger seat 13 side.
