Problems solved by technology

However, it is difficult to seal the junction area between the two parts of the side converger
[0007] Due to the presence of this beam part, it is difficult to seal the area between the heat exchanger and the bumper, and air leaks can be found in the area between the heat exchanger and the bumper, compromising the cooling of the engine

Embodiment Construction

[0038] In this specification, the front-rear direction refers to the front-rear direction of the vehicle. Likewise, the longitudinal direction means the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

[0039] figure 1 A vehicle front structure 10 is shown, which comprises a heat exchanger 2 for cooling the engine of the vehicle.

[0040] The front face structure also includes a frontmost cross member 14 located between the heat exchanger 12 and the vehicle's front bumper (not shown).

[0041] exist figure 1 Also visible are two side convergers 16, 18 and an upper converger 20. These convergers are designed to direct air entering via air inlets in the bumper of the vehicle to a heat exchanger 12 located in front of the vehicle's engine.

[0042] The side convergers 16, 18 are symmetrical about a vertical longitudinal plane, therefore only the structure of one of them will be described with reference to the figures.

[0043] The side convergers 16 are formed by plates whose rear ed...

Abstract

The invention relates to a side diffuser (16) for vehicle front surface structure (10), intended to guide air entering through air inlets from the bumpers of the vehicle to the heat exchangers (12) located in front of the engine, said diffuser being formed from a plate, the back edge of which supports the heat exchangers and the front edge (16b) of which supports the bumpers and comprises a recess capable of receiving the front crosspiece end (14) of the vehicle. The back side of the diffuser is provided with: -a pivoting axis capable of engaging with a corresponding receiving part provided on the heat exchangers, and -an attaching part capable of engaging with a corresponding attaching part provided on the heat exchangers after one rotation of the side diffuser around said pivoting axis.The invention also relates to a vehicle front surface structure and a method for assembling such a structure.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a side converger for a vehicle front structure, a corresponding front structure and a method for assembling such a front structure. Background technique [0002] The vehicle has air inlets on its front face to allow air flow in to cool the engine. These air inlets consist of apertures located in the front bumper of the vehicle. Engine cooling is achieved by passing the air flow through heat exchangers (radiator, air cooler, condenser) located in the front fascia in front of the engine. [0003] To direct the incoming air flow to the heat exchanger, vehicles typically have convergents, which are typically plastic parts positioned in such a way as to direct air from the bumper air inlet to the heat exchanger. These convergers are thus located between the bumper and the heat exchanger. On the one hand there are side convergers arranged essentially vertically in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and on the other hand the...
