Vehicle Front Structure

Abstract

The invention provides a vehicle front structure. Even when load is input to lenses of head lamps, clearance is prevented from generating between lenses and lamp housings. The vehicle front structure comprises bumper carriers (2) disposed on left and right sides of a vehicle front and used for bearing bumper components, and the head lamps (3) disposed on left and right sides of the vehicle front and adjacent to the bumper components and used for lighting the place ahead of the vehicle. The vehicle front structure is characterized in that each head lamp (3) comprises a lamp housing (31) which is fixed to a frame component of the vehicle on the inner side of the vehicle width direction and used for bearing a radiation source (32) lighting the place ahead of the vehicle, and a lens (33) disposed in front of the vehicle opposite to the lamp housing (31) and combined with the lamp housing (31) through a sealing member (35a) in a manner of covering the radiation source (32). Each bumper carrier (2) is fixed on the corresponding lamp housing (31) and on the front surface side of the corresponding lens (33).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a vehicle front structure to which a bumper component and a headlight are mounted, and more particularly to a bumper bracket that supports a bumper component and a lens of the headlight. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, components and parts mounted on the front of the vehicle include bumper components such as front bumpers that absorb loads due to contact and collisions, and front grilles that allow outside air to flow into the front of the vehicle. [0003] These bumper components are supported on a bumper bracket fixed to a frame member such as a bulkhead, and thus arranged at the front of the vehicle. Therefore, when a load is input to the bumper component, the load acts on the bumper bracket that supports the bumper component, and the load input to the bumper component is absorbed. [0004] Here, the bumper bracket supporting the bumper components has conventionally been researched and developed from v...

Problems solved by technology

[0008] However, the lens of the conventional headlight is attached to the front of the vehicle by being combined with the lamp housing that supports the irradiation light source, and is not supported on the bumper bracket or the like.

[0009] Therefore, when a load is input to the lens, the load is not absorbed and acts on the combined lamp housing, possibly causing a gap between the lens and the lamp housing that are hermetically bonded to prevent water intrusion.

[0010] In addition, in recent years, in order to improve the appearance of the vehicle, headlights have been developed in which a cover that can be engaged with the front surface side of the lens is provided to cover a part of the lens. However, the cover only engages with the lens. Not supported on bumper brackets etc.

[0011] Therefore, in a headlight with a lampshade, when the load caused by contact or collision is input to the lampshade, the load is not absorbed and acts on the lens, which may also cause a gap between the lens and the lamp housing that is sealed and bonded. gap
