Description
本発明は、カウルカバー組付構造に関する。
The present invention relates to a cowl cover assembly structure.
車両のフロントウインドシールドの下端部にカウルカバーを組み付ける構造としては、例えば、特許文献１に記載の構造が公知である。
As a structure for assembling the cowl cover to the lower end of the front windshield of the vehicle, for example, the structure described in Patent Document 1 is known.
この特許文献１に記載の構造では、フロントウインドシールドの下端部に沿って、合成樹脂製の成形体を延設し、カウルカバーの後端部を前記成形体の支持部に上方から嵌合することにより、フロントウインドシールドの下端部にカウルカバーが組み付けられる。
In the structure described in Patent Document 1, a synthetic resin molded body is extended along the lower end portion of the front windshield, and the rear end portion of the cowl cover is fitted to the support portion of the molded body from above. As a result, the cowl cover is assembled to the lower end of the front windshield.
ところで、前記特許文献１に記載の構造では、カウルカバーの後端部の下面に、ほぼ全幅に亘って凸形状の係合部が延設されており、前記成形体の支持部には、ほぼ全幅に亘って凹形状の被係合部が延設されているので、カウルカバーの後端部の下面にほぼ全幅に亘って延設されている係合部を車幅方向の一端から順に、前記成形体の支持部にほぼ全幅に亘って延設されている被係合部に嵌合していく必要がある。このため、カウルカバーの後端部を前記成形体の支持部に嵌合するための作業に手間がかかり、カウルカバーの組付作業性が悪いという問題があった。
By the way, in the structure described in Patent Document 1, a convex engaging portion extends substantially over the entire bottom surface of the rear end portion of the cowl cover. Since the engaged portion of the concave shape is extended over the entire width, the engaging portion extended over substantially the entire width on the lower surface of the rear end portion of the cowl cover in order from one end in the vehicle width direction, It is necessary to fit into an engaged portion that extends substantially over the entire width of the support portion of the molded body. For this reason, there is a problem that the work for fitting the rear end portion of the cowl cover to the support portion of the molded body is troublesome and the assembly workability of the cowl cover is poor.
そこで、本発明は、カウルカバーの組付作業性を向上することができるカウルカバー組付構造を提供することを目的とする。
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a cowl cover assembly structure that can improve the assembly workability of the cowl cover.
本発明に係るカウルカバー組付構造は、車両のフロントウインドシールドの下端部に沿って延設され、カウルカバーの後端部を支持するカウルカバー支持部材を備える。カウルカバーは、その後端部に沿って形成され、車両後方に開口した開口部を有する後端係合部を有する。カウルカバー支持部材は、フロントウインドシールドの下端部に接合される基部から車両前方に延び、カウルカバーの後端係合部によって上下方向から挟持される支持部を有する。カウルカバー支持部材の支持部には、カウルカバーの後端係合部の後端面が当接する係止部が車幅方向に間隔をおいて複数形成されている。カウルカバー支持部材の支持部における係止部同士が車幅方向に離間した部分に、カウルカバーの後端係合部と係合してカウルカバーの車幅方向の移動を規制する係合部が形成されている。
The cowl cover assembly structure according to the present invention includes a cowl cover support member that extends along the lower end of the front windshield of the vehicle and supports the rear end of the cowl cover. The cowl cover has a rear end engaging portion that is formed along the rear end portion and has an opening that opens toward the rear of the vehicle. The cowl cover support member has a support portion that extends forward from the base portion that is joined to the lower end portion of the front windshield and is sandwiched from above and below by the rear end engaging portion of the cowl cover. The support portion of the cowl cover support member is formed with a plurality of locking portions that are in contact with the rear end surface of the rear end engagement portion of the cowl cover at intervals in the vehicle width direction. An engaging part that engages with the rear end engaging part of the cowl cover and restricts the movement of the cowl cover in the vehicle width direction at the part where the locking parts in the supporting part of the cowl cover supporting member are separated in the vehicle width direction. Is formed.
本発明に係るカウルカバー組付構造では、カウルカバーは、その後端部に沿って形成され、車両後方に開口した開口部を有する後端係合部を有し、カウルカバー支持部材は、フロントウインドシールドの下端部に接合される基部から車両前方に延び、カウルカバーの後端係合部によって上下方向から挟持される支持部を有する。また、カウルカバーは、エアボックスの上部開口を覆うものであって、エアボックスの上部開口を覆うのに十分な大きい面積を有するために、上下方向の剛性は比較的低いが、車両前後方向の剛性は比較的高い。これらより、カウルカバーをカウルカバー支持部材の車両前方に搬送した後に、カウルカバーの後端係合部をカウルカバー支持部材の支持部に車両前方から押し付けて嵌合することにより、フロントウインドシールドの下端部にカウルカバーが組み付けられる。本発明に係るカウルカバー組付構造によれば、カウルカバーの後端係合部をカウルカバー支持部材の支持部に嵌合するための作業がより少ない動作で完了するため、カウルカバーの組付作業性がよい。
In the cowl cover assembly structure according to the present invention, the cowl cover has a rear end engaging portion that is formed along the rear end portion thereof and has an opening that opens toward the rear of the vehicle, and the cowl cover support member includes the front window. A support portion that extends forward from the base portion joined to the lower end portion of the shield and is sandwiched from above and below by the rear end engaging portion of the cowl cover. The cowl cover covers the upper opening of the air box, and has a sufficiently large area to cover the upper opening of the air box. The rigidity is relatively high. Thus, after the cowl cover is transported to the front of the cowl cover support member, the rear end engaging portion of the cowl cover is pressed against the support portion of the cowl cover supporting member from the front of the vehicle to fit the front windshield. A cowl cover is assembled at the lower end. According to the cowl cover assembly structure according to the present invention, the work for fitting the rear end engagement portion of the cowl cover to the support portion of the cowl cover support member is completed with less operation. Workability is good.
