Problems solved by technology

[0011] However, with such a structure, when a strong collision occurs, the collision load cannot be dispersed from the radiator fixing frame and transmitted to body parts such as individual skirt reinforcements.
Then there is a new problem of decreased safety in the event of a collision.

Abstract

The present invention discloses a front end structure for an automobile, which includes a resin-made shroud panel 5 supporting a radiator R. The front end structure further includes: a panel support member 6 supporting the shroud panel 5 against right and left front side frames 3, 3 and right and left apron rein members 4, 4; and joint parts 66, 68, 68 fixing an upper part 51 of the shroud panel 5 to the panel support member 6 and allowing, when an impact load works on the shroud panel 5 from the front of the automobile, the upper part 51 to separate from the panel support member 6.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an automobile front structure, and more particularly, to an automobile front structure provided with a resin radiator fixing frame for supporting a heat exchanger such as a radiator. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, there is known an automobile front structure in which a heat exchanger such as a radiator is supported by a resin (radiator) fixing frame. With this front structure, the front part of the vehicle body can be modularized (componentized) and the assembly workability of the vehicle body can be improved. Therefore, this front structure has been adopted in many automobiles in recent years. [0003] However, there is a possibility that such a resin radiator fixing frame cannot sufficiently support the engine cover. [0004] As disclosed in, for example, U.S. Patent No. 6,216,810, on the upper part of the radiator fixing frame, a metal reinforcement member is integrally formed with an upper part exten...
