Embodiment Construction

[0043] A hood structure according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the drawings, arrow X indicates the front-rear direction (longitudinal direction) of the vehicle, and arrow Y indicates the left-right direction (lateral direction) of the vehicle.

[0044] figure 1 A front part 1 of a vehicle is shown, which has a vehicle hood structure according to the invention.

[0045] Front fenders 2 constitute left and right side surfaces of a front portion 1 of the vehicle, and front fenders are provided at both side portions of the front portion 1 of the vehicle. An engine room 3 is provided between the paired left and right front fenders 2 . The upward opening 301 of the engine compartment 3 is covered by a hood (engine compartment cover) 4 .

[0046] Such as figure 2 As shown, the main part of the hood 4 is formed by an outer panel 5 and an inner panel 11 (refer to image 3 ), the outer panel is a hood main board covering the upward opening 3...

Abstract

An engine cover using a vehicle engine-cover structure comprises a reinforcement plate provided with a front frame part, a rear frame part, a left-side frame part, a right-side frame part and a locking apparatus. In retroposition plane parts, stretching quantity of the side frame parts is partially reduced, and the retroposition plane parts are formed a longitudinal center part of each side frame part. When the engine cover receives an overload induced by a front hit to the vehicle, the retroposition plane parts of the two side frame parts constitute starting points of bending deformations of the engine cover. When the engine cover receives an overload induced by hit from left or right front to the vehicle, the locking apparatus and any retroposition plane part of the two side frame parts constitute starting points of bending deformations of the engine cover.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a vehicle hood structure, which is bent by bending the hood when the vehicle encounters a frontal impact (in which the vehicle is hit from the front of the vehicle) or when the vehicle encounters an oblique impact (in which the vehicle is impacted obliquely from the front of the vehicle) into the predetermined position to prevent the inversion of the hood. Background technique [0002] The engine room that is formed in the front portion of the vehicle body is covered in an openable manner with the engine room hinged to the vicinity of the upwardly open rear peripheral edge portion of the engine room (at its left rear end and right rear end) and opened in an openable manner. Locked at the front end to the upwardly open front perimeter edge portion. [0003] The hood is constituted by an outer panel and an inner panel which overlap each other in the vertical direction and are then integrally connected to each other so as...
