Front vehicle body structure

Abstract

The invention provides a front vehicle body structure, comprising an upper front shroud, a scuttle front part coupled at the lower of the upper front shroud, and a pair of link bearing at the left and the right sides which is fixed above an extending part of the upper front shroud and is connected with the rear longitudinal wall of the suspension and the upper front shroud. The scuttle front part comprises a main body component spaned between a pair of extending parts of the upper front shroud at left and right sides, two end parts in a width direction of the vehicle which extend the longitudinal wall of the main body component in the width direction of the vehicle to fix the longitudinal wall, and a pair of side square components at the left and the right sides which connects the pair of link bearing at the left and the right sides, wherein the side square components have extending reinforcement parts which extend ahead at the lower and is connected with the suspension. According to the invention the installation rigidity of the upper front shroud and the front of the vehicle scuttle can be surely increased.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a front body structure of an automobile, and more particularly to a front body structure of an automobile in which the upper ends of both end portions in the vehicle width direction of a cowl front are positioned above a suspension tower. structure. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, in the front body structure of an automobile, as shown in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2004-262290 (hereinafter referred to as "Patent Document 1"), a lower dash panel is provided to separate the engine compartment from the vehicle compartment and a The upper end portion of the lower dash panel is joined to the cowl front portion by the lower front end portion of the upper dash panel. [0003] Specifically, in Patent Document 1, the upper dash panel has a pair of left and right upper sides extending forward and joined to the upper side surfaces of a pair of left and right suspension towers at the lower parts of both...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0008] However, in the front body structure in which the upper ends of the vehicle width direction end portions of the cowl front portion are located above the suspension struts as described above, even if the vehicle width direction end portions of the cowl front portion are closer to the upper cowl panel, apron part and hinge pillar part, and may not be able to sufficiently improve the installation rigidity of the front part of the cowl and the upper dash panel joined thereto

[0009] That is, in the front body structure of Patent Document 1, although the outer end portion in the vehicle width direction of the front portion of the cowl is joined to the upper dash panel, the skirt member, and the hinge pillar member through the bracket, the bracket can only be viewed from the bottom. Installed while supporting the front part of the cowl. Therefore, if only such a bracket is installed, the installation rigidity of the front part of the cowl and the both ends of the upper cowl in the vehicle width direction may not be sufficiently improved.
