Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a front structure of a vehicle. [Background technology]

[0002] Patent Document 1 discloses a vehicle with a trunk provided at the front. The trunk disclosed in Patent Document 1 is made of a resin material and is located under the bonnet at the front of the vehicle. A user can open the bonnet to put things in and take things out of the trunk. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] DE 102020106560 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, with the trunk disclosed in Patent Document 1, access to the trunk always requires stopping the vehicle and opening the hood, which is inconvenient.

[0005] In view of this, it may be possible to provide a communication section that communicates the trunk provided at the front of the vehicle with the passenger compartment.

[0006] However, in a structure in which a trunk located at the front of the vehicle is simply connected to the passenger compartment through a communication part, there is a risk that luggage stored in the front trunk will move through the communication part and into the passenger compartment in the event of a vehicle collision.

[0007] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned problems, and aims to provide a front structure for a vehicle that can prevent luggage from unintentionally moving into the passenger compartment in the event of a vehicle collision while allowing access to the trunk from the passenger compartment. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] A front structure of a vehicle according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a front trunk arranged at the front of the vehicle forward of the vehicle cabin and having a front storage space capable of storing luggage, a cabin-side storage section arranged at the front of the cabin and having a cabin-side storage space which allows luggage to be loaded and unloaded from the cabin side, and having a lid which can open and close the cabin-side opening in the cabin-side storage space, a communication section having a communication space which connects the front storage space and the cabin-side storage space, and an airbag arranged at the front of the cabin and capable of being deployed in the event of a vehicle collision, wherein the airbag is arranged in a position surrounding the cabin-side opening in the cabin-side storage space and in a position which can restrict the lid from moving in the opening direction from the position where it closes the opening when it is deployed.

[0009] The front structure of the vehicle according to the above-mentioned aspect is equipped with a front trunk at the front of the vehicle, a compartment-side storage section at the front of the passenger compartment, and a communication section having a communication space that connects the front storage space with the compartment-side storage space, thereby making it possible to secure storage space that allows access to luggage from both inside and outside the passenger compartment while increasing the storage capacity of the vehicle's luggage compartment.

[0010] Furthermore, by arranging the airbag in the front part of the passenger compartment as described above, when the airbag deploys in the event of a vehicle collision, the airbag can restrict the lid from moving in the opening direction from the position where the lid closes the opening. Therefore, even if luggage in the front trunk or the communication part moves toward the rear of the vehicle due to the impact of a vehicle collision and hits the lid of the passenger compartment storage part, the lid remains closed due to the restriction of movement by the airbag, so it is possible to prevent the luggage from unintentionally flying out of the passenger compartment storage part toward the rear of the vehicle and moving into the passenger compartment in the event of a vehicle collision.

[0011] In the vehicle front structure relating to the above-mentioned aspect, the lid opens and closes the opening by swinging in the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle around a rotation axis extending in the vehicle width direction as a rotation center, and the airbag may be positioned below the passenger compartment side opening in the passenger compartment side storage space and at a position where the upper end of the airbag can be deployed above the vertical center of the lid.

[0012] By arranging the airbag as described above, the airbag can protect the lower knees of the occupant in the vehicle cabin by deploying the airbag in the event of a vehicle collision. At the same time, since the upper end of the airbag is positioned above the vertical center of the lid of the vehicle compartment side storage section when the airbag is deployed, the movement of the lid in the opening direction can be further suppressed, and it is possible to further suppress the unintended movement of luggage from the vehicle compartment side storage section into the vehicle cabin.

[0013] In the vehicle front structure according to the above aspect, the airbag may be disposed in a position such that an upper end of the airbag can be deployed above an upper end of the lid.

[0014] By positioning the airbag as described above, the movement of the lid of the vehicle interior side storage section in the opening direction can be minimized, and it is possible to reliably prevent luggage from unintentionally moving from the vehicle interior side storage section into the vehicle interior.

[0015] The front structure of the vehicle relating to the above-mentioned aspect may further include a vertical wall portion disposed in the communication space and displaceable between a closed position that restricts the movement of the luggage by partitioning at least a portion of the opening cross-section of the communication space and an open position that releases the restriction on the movement.

[0016] In the vehicle front structure according to the above aspect, the vertical wall portion in the closed position divides at least a part of the opening cross section of the communication space in the communication portion while the vehicle is traveling, thereby restricting the movement of luggage within the communication space. Furthermore, in the event of a vehicle collision, the luggage in the front trunk or the communication portion can be prevented from moving toward the rear of the vehicle toward the vehicle compartment side storage space due to the impact of the vehicle collision, so that it is possible to further prevent the luggage from moving unintentionally into the vehicle compartment in the event of a vehicle collision. Moreover, when loading or unloading luggage from the front trunk, the vertical wall portion is displaced from the closed position to the open position to release the restriction on the movement, allowing the luggage to move smoothly within the communication space.

[0017] In the vehicle front structure according to the above aspect, the vertical wall portion may be open only toward the front of the vehicle.

[0018] In the vehicle front structure relating to the above-mentioned aspect, the vertical wall portion opens only toward the front of the vehicle. Therefore, in the event of a vehicle collision, even if luggage in the front trunk or the connecting portion moves toward the rear of the vehicle due to the impact of the vehicle collision and hits the vertical wall portion, the vertical wall portion maintains its closed position, thereby further preventing the luggage from moving toward the storage space in the passenger compartment.

[0019] In the vehicle front structure according to the above aspect, the vehicle compartment-side storage portion may be a glove box provided in an instrument panel.

[0020] In the vehicle front structure according to the above aspect, the glove box provided in the instrument panel is used as the compartment-side storage section, making it possible to effectively utilize the space in the vehicle interior. Also, it is possible to access the front trunk from the glove box through the communication section to move luggage without changing the layout of the vehicle interior. Effect of the Invention

[0021] The vehicle front structure according to each of the above aspects can prevent luggage from unintentionally moving into the passenger compartment during a vehicle collision while allowing access to the trunk from the passenger compartment side. [Brief description of the drawings]

FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0023] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the embodiment described below is an example of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the following embodiment except for its essential configuration. Note that in Figs. 1-2 and 5, "FR" indicates the front of the vehicle, "RR" indicates the rear of the vehicle, "RH" indicates the right side of the vehicle, "LH" indicates the left side of the vehicle, "UP" indicates the upper side of the vehicle, and "LO" indicates the lower side of the vehicle.

[0024] [First embodiment] 1. Outline of the front structure of vehicle 1 The outline of the front structure of a vehicle 1 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

[0025] 1, a vehicle 1 according to this embodiment includes a front trunk 12 in a front portion 1a in front of a dash panel 1c. The front trunk 12 is disposed below a bonnet (not shown) and has a space capable of accommodating luggage.

[0026] Vehicle 1 has instrument panel 10 in passenger compartment 1b rearward of dash panel 1c. Instrument panel 10 is disposed in the front portion of passenger compartment 1b so as to extend in the left-right direction. A glove box 11 and a knee airbag 15 are provided in instrument panel 10 in a portion forward of passenger seat side portion 1d. Knee airbag 15 in an undeployed state is disposed below glove box 11 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. The specific location of knee airbag 15 will be described in detail later.

[0027] The glove box 11 is configured so that luggage can be put in and taken out from the vehicle interior 1b side. The glove box 11 in this embodiment corresponds to a vehicle interior side storage section.

[0028] The vehicle 1 further includes a communication portion 13 that connects the front trunk 12 and the glove box 11. That is, in the vehicle 1 according to this embodiment, the storage space 12a of the front trunk 12 and the storage space 11a of the glove box 11 are in communication with each other via the communication portion 13.

[0029] 2. Connection structure between the front trunk 12 and the glove box 11 and the communication portion 13 The connection structure between the front trunk 12 and the glove box 11 and the communication portion 13 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0030] 2, the front trunk 12 has an opening 12b on the upper side and a rear opening 12e on the lower side of the rear wall 12d. Luggage can be put in and taken out of the storage space 12a of the front trunk 12 through the opening 12b.

[0031] In this embodiment, the inner bottom surface 12c of the front trunk 12 is configured as a substantially horizontal surface. By configuring the inner bottom surface 12c as a horizontal surface, luggage placed on the inner bottom surface 12c is less likely to move back and forth or left and right.

[0032] The glove box 11 has a front opening 11d on the front side and a rear opening 11e on the rear side. Of these, the rear opening 11e can be opened and closed by a lid 11b.

[0033] The lower end of the lid 11b is rotatably supported by a rotating shaft portion 11f extending in the vehicle width direction (perpendicular to the plane of the paper in FIG. 2). As a result, the lid 11b can open and close the rear opening 11e by swinging in the front-rear direction of the vehicle about the rotating shaft portion 11f as a rotation axis, as shown in FIG. 2. Specifically, the lid 11b can be displaced from a closed position that closes the rear opening 11e to an open position by pivoting toward the rear of the vehicle about the rotating shaft portion 11f as a rotation axis.

[0034] The storage space 11a of the glove box 11 is formed between a front opening 11d and a rear opening 11e in the front-rear direction of the vehicle 1. An inner bottom surface 11c of the glove box 11 is configured as a substantially horizontal surface.

[0035] The communication part 13 has a communication space 13a extending in the front-rear direction and has a cylindrical configuration surrounded by a wall. The communication space 13a of the communication part 13 is connected to the rear opening 12e of the storage space 12a of the front trunk 12 at a front opening 13c on the front side and is connected to the front opening 11d of the storage space 11a of the glove box 11 at a rear opening 13d on the rear side. The inner bottom surface 13b of the communication part 13 is configured as a substantially horizontal surface and is configured to be connected to the inner bottom surface 12c of the front trunk 12 and the inner bottom surface 11c of the glove box 11 without any step.

[0036] 3. Placement of knee airbag 15 1 to 4, knee airbag 15 is an airbag that can protect the knees and surrounding areas of an occupant sitting in the passenger seat by deploying in the event of a vehicle collision. Knee airbag 15 is disposed below glove box 11 in passenger seat side portion 1d at the front of vehicle interior 1b.

[0037] Specifically, the knee airbag 15 is positioned in the vicinity of the rear opening 11e in the storage space 11a of the glove box 11, and is positioned in a position that can restrict the lid 11b of the glove box 11 from moving in the opening direction from the position in which the rear opening 11e is closed when the knee airbag 15 is deployed, as shown in FIG. 5.

[0038] In this case, "restricting movement in the opening direction" does not only mean restricting the lid 11b so that it remains in a completely closed position, but also means substantially restricting movement in the opening direction to the extent that luggage does not move through the rear opening 11e into the vehicle interior.

[0039] More specifically, the positioning of knee airbag 15 in this embodiment is such that, when deployed, upper end 15a of knee airbag 15 can be deployed above the vertical center of lid 11b, or more specifically, above upper end 11b1 of lid 11b.

[0040] Furthermore, by positioning knee airbag 15 as described above, when knee airbag 15 is deployed, knee airbag 15 expands in the vertical and width directions on the vehicle rear side of rear opening 11e, thereby being able to block at least a portion of rear opening 11e (the entire surface of rear opening 11e in FIG. 5).

[0041] 4.Effects The front structure of the vehicle 1 of this embodiment includes a front trunk 12 in the front part 1a of the vehicle 1, a glove box 11 in the front part of the passenger compartment 1b, and a communication part 13 having a communication space 13a that communicates between the storage space 12a of the front trunk 12 and the storage space 11a of the glove box 11. This makes it possible to secure a storage space that allows access to luggage from both inside and outside the passenger compartment 1b while increasing the storage capacity of the luggage compartment of the vehicle 1.

[0042] Furthermore, in the front structure of vehicle 1 of this embodiment, knee airbag 15 is disposed in the front of passenger compartment 1b, in a position around rear opening 11e in storage space 11a of glove box 11, and in a position that can restrict lid 11b of glove box 11 from moving in the opening direction from the position where rear opening 11e is closed when deployed, as shown in Fig. 5. By disposing knee airbag 15 in this manner, when knee airbag 15 deploys during a vehicle collision, knee airbag 15 covers at least a portion of rear opening 11e of storage space 11a of glove box 11 (the entire surface of rear opening 11e in Fig. 5) and can restrict lid 11b from moving in the opening direction from the position where rear opening 11e is closed.

[0043] Therefore, even if luggage in the front trunk 12 or the communication portion 13 moves toward the rear of the vehicle due to the impact of a vehicle collision and hits the lid 11b of the glove box 11, the lid 11b remains closed due to the movement restriction by the knee airbag 15, so it is possible to prevent the luggage from unintentionally flying out of the glove box 11 toward the rear of the vehicle and moving into the passenger compartment 1b during a vehicle collision.

[0044] In addition, in the front structure of the vehicle 1 in which the rear opening 11e is opened and closed by the lid 11b swinging in the vehicle front-rear direction around the rotation shaft 11f extending in the vehicle width direction as the rotation center, the knee airbag 15 of this embodiment is disposed in a position below the rear opening 11e in the storage space 11a of the glove box 11 and in a position where the upper end of the knee airbag 15 can be deployed above the vertical center of the lid 11b. By disposing the knee airbag 15 in this manner, the knee airbag 15 can protect the lower knee portion of the occupant in the vehicle compartment 1b by deploying the knee airbag 15 in the event of a vehicle collision. In addition, since the upper end of the knee airbag 15 is positioned above the vertical center of the lid 11b of the glove box 11 when the knee airbag 15 is deployed, the movement of the lid 11b in the opening direction can be further suppressed, and the unintended movement of luggage from the glove box 11 into the vehicle compartment can be further suppressed.

[0045] To explain the positioning of knee airbag 15 in more detail, knee airbag 15 in this embodiment is positioned in a position where upper end 15a of knee airbag 15 can be deployed above upper end 11b1 of lid 11b, thereby minimizing movement of lid 11b of glove box 11 in the opening direction and reliably preventing luggage from moving unintentionally from the glove box 11 into the vehicle interior.

[0046] In the above embodiment, the glove box 11 provided in the instrument panel 10 is used as an example of a compartment-side storage section of the present invention. By using the glove box provided in the instrument panel 10 as the compartment-side storage section, it is possible to effectively utilize the space in the passenger compartment 1b. In addition, it is possible to access the front trunk 12 from the glove box 11 through the communication section 13 and move luggage without changing the layout in the passenger compartment 1b.

[0047] [Second embodiment] The front structure of the vehicle 1 of the second embodiment shown in Figure 6 is the same as the front structure of the first embodiment in that it is equipped with the glove box 11, the front trunk 12, the communication part 13, and the knee airbag 15 shown in Figures 1 to 5, but differs in that it is equipped with a vertical wall part 21 that opens and closes the communication space 13a of the communication part 13, and a push lever 24 that opens and closes the vertical wall part 21.

[0048] The vertical wall portion 21 is disposed in the communicating space 13a and is configured to be displaceable between a closed position that restricts the movement of luggage by partitioning at least a portion of the opening cross-section of the communicating space 13a, and an open position that lifts the restriction on movement (note that the opening cross-section is a transverse section at any position throughout the entire longitudinal direction of the communicating space 13a, and also includes the front opening 13c and the rear opening 13d).

[0049] Specifically, the vertical wall portion 21 shown in Fig. 6 is disposed in the front opening 13c communicating with the storage space 12a of the front trunk 12 in the communication space 13a. The upper end of the vertical wall portion 21 is rotatably supported by a rotating shaft portion 25 extending in the vehicle width direction (perpendicular to the paper surface of Fig. 6). As a result, the vertical wall portion 21 can open and close at least a part of the front opening 13c of the communication space 13a (the entire surface of the front opening 13c in this embodiment) by swinging in the vehicle front-rear direction with the rotating shaft portion 25 as a rotation axis. In this embodiment, the vertical wall portion 21 can close the entire surface of the front opening 13c, but it is sufficient that at least a part of the front opening 13c, for example, from the top surface of the front opening 13c to a range where the luggage can be contacted, is closed to restrict the movement of the luggage, and in this case, the vicinity of the bottom surface of the vertical wall portion 21 may be open. The vertical wall portion 21 may be disposed at any position in the longitudinal direction of the communication space 13a, for example, at a middle position in the longitudinal direction of the communication space 13a (a middle position between the front opening 13c and the rear opening 13d).

[0050] In this embodiment, the vertical wall portion 21 can open and close the entire front opening 13c of the communication space 13a, so a seal member 27 is provided on either the periphery of the vertical wall portion 21 or the periphery of the front opening 13c of the communication space 13a. As the seal member 27, a highly airtight elastic material made of resin or rubber is used, and for example, an EPDM rubber foam called EPTSEALER (registered trademark) is preferable. By providing the seal member 27, when the vertical wall portion 21 is in a closed state, it is possible to prevent the odor of the luggage stored in the front trunk 12 from reaching the glove box 11 on the passenger compartment side through the communication space 13a. In addition, it is also possible to prevent noise generated by unintentional movement of luggage in the front trunk 12 while the vehicle is running from reaching the glove box 11 on the passenger compartment side through the communication space 13a.

[0051] 6 can be displaced from the closed position to the open position by opening only toward the front of the vehicle. When the vertical wall portion 21 is in the closed position, the lower end of the vertical wall portion 21 abuts against the front end of the bottom wall that constitutes the inner bottom surface 13b of the communication space 13a, so that the vertical wall portion 21 cannot be opened toward the rear of the vehicle and can be opened only toward the front of the vehicle.

[0052] The push lever 24 is an operating member that extends along the longitudinal direction of the communication portion 13 and moves in the longitudinal direction to open and close the vertical wall portion 21. The push lever 24 only needs to extend along the longitudinal direction of the communication portion 13 and only needs to be provided inside or outside the communication space 13a of the communication portion 13. In this embodiment, the push lever 24 is supported by a lever support portion 26 provided on the ceiling surface of the communication space 13a inside the communication space 13a so as to be freely movable back and forth in the longitudinal direction of the push lever 24.

[0053] The push lever 24 has an operating end 24a provided inside or around the glove box 11, and a connecting end 24b connected to the vertical wall portion 21. The connecting end 24b is supported on the upper part of the vertical wall portion 21 so as to be rotatable.

[0054] In the front structure of the vehicle 1 of the second embodiment, the vertical wall portion 21 in the closed position during vehicle travel partitions at least a part of the opening cross section of the communication space 13a in the communication portion 13, thereby restricting the movement of luggage, and thus suppressing the movement of luggage in the communication space 13a. Furthermore, in the event of a vehicle collision, the luggage in the front trunk 12 or the communication portion 13 can be prevented from moving toward the rear side of the vehicle due to the impact of the vehicle collision toward the storage space 11a of the glove box 11, so that it is possible to further suppress the luggage from moving unintentionally into the interior of the vehicle compartment 1b in the event of a vehicle collision. Moreover, when loading or unloading luggage from the front trunk 12, the vertical wall portion 21 is displaced from the closed position to the open position to release the restriction on the movement, thereby enabling the luggage to move smoothly in the communication space 13a.

[0055] Furthermore, in the front structure of the vehicle 1 of the second embodiment, the vertical wall portion 21 opens only toward the front of the vehicle. Therefore, even if luggage in the front trunk 12 or the communicating portion 13 moves toward the rear of the vehicle due to the impact of the vehicle collision and hits the vertical wall portion 21, the vertical wall portion 21 maintains its closed position, thereby further preventing the luggage from moving toward the storage space 11a of the glove box 11.

[0056] Furthermore, since the front structure of the vehicle 1 of the second embodiment is provided with the push lever 24, the occupant can easily open the vertical wall portion 21 toward the front of the vehicle by holding the operation end portion 24a of the push lever 24 and pushing the push lever 24 inside the vehicle compartment 1b. On the other hand, if the pushing operation of the push lever 24 is stopped, the vertical wall portion 21 can close by its own weight. Therefore, the push lever 24 can easily open and close the vertical wall portion 21.

[0057] In addition, since the vertical wall portion 21 can be opened and closed at any time while keeping the lid 11b of the glove box 11 open, passengers in the vehicle compartment 1b can reliably check the open / closed state of the vertical wall portion 21.

[0058] [Variations] In the first and second embodiments, the glove box 11 is the connection target of the communication part 13 on the passenger compartment 1b side, but the present invention is not limited to this. A storage part other than the glove box may be provided on the upper or lower part of the instrument panel, and the communication part may be connected to the storage part. In this case, however, it is necessary to provide an openable lid on the storage part in order to prevent odors from leaking out or luggage from spilling out.

[0059] In the first and second embodiments, the connection target of the communication part 13 on the passenger compartment 1b side is the glove box 11, so the passenger compartment-side storage part is arranged in the passenger seat-side part 1d of the passenger compartment 1b, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the passenger compartment-side storage part may be provided in front of the steering wheel on the instrument panel, or in front of the space between the driver's seat and the passenger seat.

[0060] In the above first and second embodiments, the knee airbag 15 provided below the glove box 11 arranged in the passenger seat side portion 1d of the vehicle interior 1b has been described as an example of the airbag of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The airbag of the present invention may be arranged in the front part of the vehicle interior, in a position around the vehicle interior side opening in the vehicle interior side storage space of the vehicle interior side storage part, and in a position that can restrict the movement of the lid of the vehicle interior side storage part from the position where the opening is closed to the opening direction when the airbag is deployed. In addition to the knee airbag, the airbag of the present invention also includes the driver's seat side airbag and the airbag arranged above the glove box, as long as the airbag is arranged in this way.

[0061] In the first and second embodiments, one front trunk 12 is provided in the front portion 1a of the vehicle 1, but the present invention may provide multiple front trunks in the front portion of the vehicle. In this case, it is sufficient to connect at least one front trunk to the vehicle compartment storage portion via a communication portion. [Explanation of symbols]
