Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] For example, an exhaust port for guiding outside air introduced inside the enclosure member to the outside of the enclosure member is provided in the upper plate of the enclosure member, and a duct for allowing outside air to flow through an intercooler may be connected to the exhaust port. This duct is attached to, for example, the upper frame of the radiator support. Due to dimensional tolerances of the duct and the upper frame or variations in the relative positions of the duct and the upper frame, etc., the duct may press the upper plate toward the inside of the enclosure member. Due to this pressing, the upper plate may bend or tilt toward the inside of the enclosure member, and a gap may be formed between the duct and the exhaust port. When the above gap is formed, hot air that has circulated from the engine is sucked in through the above gap, and the cooling performance of the intercooler deteriorates.

[0005] One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a vehicle structure in which a gap is hardly formed at the connection portion between the surrounding member and the duct.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] A vehicle structure according to an aspect of the present invention includes a cooling device provided at the front portion of the vehicle and cooled by outside air, a vehicle body member to which the cooling device is attached, and a surrounding member attached to the vehicle body member so as to surround the front peripheral edge of the vehicle in the cooling device to prevent hot air from flowing around from the rear to the front of the vehicle in the cooling device, and a duct attached to the vehicle body member and branching the outside air introduced inside the surrounding member to the outside of the surrounding member. The surrounding member has a plate provided with an exhaust port communicating the inside and outside of the surrounding member. The duct is connected to the exhaust port. One of the vehicle body member and the plate has a projecting piece extending toward the other of the vehicle body member and the plate. The other of the vehicle body member and the plate has a insertion hole into which the projecting piece is inserted, an outer support portion that supports the projecting piece inserted into the insertion hole in a direction from the duct toward the plate, and an inner support portion that supports the projecting piece inserted into the insertion hole in a direction from the plate toward the duct. The outer support portion is provided at a position behind the vehicle with respect to the exhaust port and closer to the tip of the projecting piece than the inner support portion.

Effects of the Invention

[0007] The vehicle structure is such that a location near the tip of the protruding piece is supported by the outer support portion in a direction from the duct toward the plate, and a location farther from the tip of the protruding piece than the outer support portion is supported by the inner support portion in a direction from the plate toward the duct. In the vehicle structure, even if the duct is attached to the vehicle body member such that the duct presses the plate toward the inside of the surrounding member due to dimensional tolerances of the vehicle body member and the plate or variations in the relative positions of the members, the plate is suppressed from tilting toward the inside of the surrounding member. Therefore, it is difficult to form a gap between the duct and the exhaust port of the plate in the vehicle structure. Thus, in the vehicle structure, hot air that has circulated from behind the cooling member is difficult to be sucked into the duct through the gap. The vehicle structure can suppress the formation of the gap without firmly fixing or engaging the plate, increasing the number of fixing or engaging locations, or using high-rigidity members. Therefore, the vehicle structure is likely to suppress an increase in cost, an increase in weight, and a decrease in productivity. Further, in the vehicle structure, since the protruding piece extends toward the vehicle body member or the plate, the protruding piece can be used as a guide when attaching the plate to the vehicle body member. Therefore, in the vehicle structure, even when it is difficult to visually confirm the attachment position of the plate, the attachment operation of the plate to the vehicle body member is easy to perform.

[0009] An embodiment of the vehicle structure of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The same reference numerals in the drawings indicate the same or corresponding parts. The sizes of the members shown in each drawing are expressed for the purpose of clarifying the description and do not necessarily represent actual dimensions. In the drawings, "UP" indicates the upper side of the vehicle equipped with the vehicle structure 1 of the embodiment, "LWR" indicates the lower side, "FR" indicates the front side, "RR" indicates the rear side, "RH" indicates the right side, and "LH" indicates the left side. Each of "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "right", and "left" in the following description corresponds to each of "upper side", "lower side", "front side", "rear side", "right side", and "left side" of the above vehicle.

[0010] 《Embodiment 1》 〔Vehicle Structure〕 With reference to FIGS. 1 to 4, the vehicle structure 1 of Embodiment 1 will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the vehicle structure 1 of Embodiment 1 includes a cooling device 2, a vehicle body member 3, an enclosure member 4, and a duct 5. The cooling device 2 is cooled by outside air. The vehicle body member 3 has the cooling device 2 attached thereto. The enclosure member 4 prevents the hot air from flowing around from the rear to the front of the cooling device 2. The enclosure member 4 is attached to the vehicle body member 3 so as to surround the front peripheral edge of the cooling device 2. The enclosure member 4 has an upper plate 41. The upper plate 41 has an exhaust port 41a that communicates the inside and outside of the enclosure member 4. The duct 5 branches the outside air introduced inside the enclosure member 4 to the outside of the enclosure member 4. The duct 5 is attached to the vehicle body member 3. The duct 5 is connected to the exhaust port 41a. One of the features of the vehicle structure 1 of the embodiment is that, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the upper plate 41 has a projecting piece 41b extending toward the vehicle body member 3, and the vehicle body member 3 has a specific insertion hole 321, an inner support portion 322, and an outer support portion 323.

[0011] [Cooling Device] The cooling device 2 is a member that is arranged at the front part of the vehicle and is cooled by the outside air introduced inside the surrounding member 4. The cooling device 2 in this example is an air-cooled cooling device. The cooling device 2 in this example has a radiator 21 that cools an engine (not shown) and a condenser 22 of an air conditioner. That is, the cooling device 2 in this example is a heat exchanger that cools gas or liquid. The radiator 21 is arranged in front of the engine. The condenser 22 is arranged in front of the radiator 21.

[0012] [Body member] The body member 3 in this example has a radiator support 31 and a mounting base 32. Different from this example, the body member 3 may not have the mounting base 32. In that case, the surrounding member 4 may be attached to the radiator support 31.

[0013] (Radiator support) The radiator support 31 supports the radiator 21 and the condenser 22. The radiator support 31 is made of, for example, metal. The radiator support 31 in this example is a rectangular frame body composed of an upper support 31a, two side supports 31b, and a lower support 31c. The radiator support 31 is arranged between the front end portions of the left and right front side members 101. The left and right front side members 101 are arranged to extend in the front-rear direction of the vehicle. The side supports 31b are fixed to the left and right front side members 101. A front cross member 102 is connected to the front end surfaces of the left and right front side members 101. The front cross member 102 is arranged to extend in the vehicle width direction in front of the condenser 22. The front cross member 102 connects the front end surfaces of the left and right front side members 101 to each other. The front cross member 102 is also called an ODB (Offset Deformable Barrier) member or the like.

[0014] (Mounting base) The mounting base 32 is a member for attaching the surrounding member 4, which will be described later, to the radiator 21. The mounting base 32 is, for example, a resin-molded product. The mounting base 32 is attached to the front peripheral edge of the radiator 21. The number of mounting bases 32 in this example is two. In this example, when viewed from the front of the vehicle, the shape of the right mounting base 32 is C-shaped, and the shape of the left mounting base 32 is L-shaped. The number and shape of the mounting bases 32 are not limited to those in this example. The right mounting base 32 is a member in which the upper piece portion 32a, the side piece portion 32b, and the lower piece portion 32c are integrally formed. The left mounting base 32 is a member in which the upper piece portion 32a and the side piece portion 32b are integrally formed. The upper piece portion 32a is attached to the upper edge of the front surface of the radiator 21. The side piece portion 32b is attached to the side edge of the front surface of the radiator 21. The lower piece portion 32c is attached to the lower edge of the front surface of the radiator 21.

[0015] 〈Insertion Hole〉 As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the upper piece portion 32a in this example has an insertion hole 321, an inner support portion 322, and an outer support portion 323. The insertion hole 321 is into which a protruding piece 41b, which will be described later, is inserted. The insertion hole 321 in this example is a through hole. Different from this example, the insertion hole 321 may be a blind hole. The number of insertion holes 321 is the same as the number of protruding pieces 41b. The number of insertion holes 321 in this example is three. In this example, two insertion holes 321 are provided in the upper piece portion 32a on the right side, and one insertion hole 321 is provided in the upper piece portion 32a on the left side. The inner support portion 322 supports the protruding piece 41b inserted into the insertion hole 321 in the direction from the upper plate 41 toward the duct 5. The outer support portion 323 supports the protruding piece 41b inserted into the insertion hole 321 in the direction from the duct 5 toward the upper plate 41. The outer support portion 323 is provided behind the exhaust port 41a. That the outer support portion 323 is provided behind the exhaust port 41a means that, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, it is located behind the rear edge of the exhaust port 41a.

[0016] As shown in FIG. 4, each insertion hole 321 is provided between an inner support portion 322, an outer support portion 323, and two side wall portions 324. That is, each insertion hole 321 is configured to be surrounded by the inner support portion 322, the outer support portion 323, and each side wall portion 324. In this example, the inner support portion 322 supports the projecting piece 41b upward. That is, the inner support portion 322 supports the projecting piece 41b in a direction resistant to the load of the duct 5. The inner support portion 322 supports a location of the projecting piece 41b that is located inside the surrounding member 4, which will be described later. The inner support portion 322 of this example supports the lower surface of the projecting piece 41b. The outer support portion 323 supports the projecting piece 41b downward in this example. That is, the outer support portion 323 supports the projecting piece 41b in the direction in which the load of the duct 5 acts. The outer support portion 323 supports a location of the projecting piece 41b that is located outside the surrounding member 4, which will be described later. The outer support portion 323 of this example supports the upper surface of the projecting piece 41b. The outer support portion 323 is provided at a position closer to the tip of the projecting piece 41b than the inner support portion 322. In this example, the outer support portion 323 is provided behind the inner support portion 322. Each side wall portion 324 connects the inner support portion 322 and the outer support portion 323 and restricts the lateral displacement of the projecting piece 41b.

[0017] [Surrounding member] As shown in FIG. 1, the surrounding member 4 prevents the hot air from flowing around from the rear to the front of the radiator 21. The hot air in this example is the hot air from an engine (not shown) disposed behind the radiator 21. The surrounding member 4 is attached to the mounting base 32 so as to surround the front peripheral edge of the radiator 21. The surrounding member 4 of this example is a rectangular frame body composed of one upper plate 41, two side plates 42, and one lower plate 43.

[0018] The upper plate 41 is disposed at the front upper edge of the radiator 21. As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the upper plate 41 in this example has an exhaust port 41a and a protruding piece 41b. The exhaust port 41a in this example guides the outside air that has passed through the air supply port 41c to the outside of the enclosure member 4. The air supply port 41c takes in the outside air passing through the inside of the enclosure member 4. The inside of the enclosure member 4 refers to the space surrounded by the enclosure member 4. That is, the inside of the enclosure member 4 is the space surrounded by the lower surface of the upper plate 41, the right surface of the left side plate 42, the left surface of the right side plate 42, and the upper surface of the lower plate 43. The outside of the enclosure member 4 is the space outside the space surrounded by the enclosure member 4. The outside of the enclosure member 4 is, for example, above the upper plate 41, to the left of the left side plate 42, to the right of the right side plate 42, below the lower plate 43, and behind the enclosure member 4. The air supply port 41c opens forward. The air supply port 41c is provided on the lower surface of the upper plate 41. The air supply port 41c in this example has a bottom portion 411 and three side wall portions 412. The bottom portion 411 is disposed to face the lower surface of the upper plate 41. The side wall portions 412 connect the left and right side edges and the rear edge of the bottom portion 411 to the lower surface of the upper plate 41. The exhaust port 41a in this example penetrates in the vertical direction and is connected to the air supply port 41c. That is, the exhaust port 41a guides the outside air that has passed through the air supply port 41c from below the upper plate 41 upward. The exhaust port 41a in this example is provided offset to the right from the left and right centers of the upper plate 41.

[0019] The tab 41b is inserted into the insertion hole 321. By inserting the tab 41b into the insertion hole 321, the upper plate 41 is attached to the mounting base 32. The tab 41b in this example extends linearly toward the mounting base 32. When the upper plate 41 is attached to the mounting base 32, the tab 41b is inserted straight into the insertion hole 321. The number of tabs 41b is not particularly limited and can be appropriately selected. In the case of this example where the exhaust port 41a is provided offset to the right as described above, the load acting on the right side of the exhaust port 41a by the duct 5 (to be described later) connected to the exhaust port 41a is greater than the load acting on the left side of the exhaust port 41a. Therefore, when the number of tabs 41b provided on the right side of the exhaust port 41a is greater than the number of tabs 41b provided on the left side of the exhaust port 41a, it is easier to stably attach the upper plate 41 to the mounting base 32 with the plurality of tabs 41b. The number of tabs 41b in this example is three. Two tabs 41b are arranged on the right side of the exhaust port 41a, and one tab 41b is arranged on the left side of the exhaust port 41a.

[0020] Each tab 41b in this example is provided behind the exhaust port 41a. That each tab 41b is provided behind the exhaust port 41a means that, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the base of each tab 41b is located behind the intermediate position C along the front and rear of the exhaust port 41a. The base of each tab 41b may be located behind the trailing edge of the exhaust port 41a. Each tab 41b is provided at a position closer to the mounting base 32 than the exhaust port 41a. Each tab 41b in this example does not have an engaging portion that catches in the insertion hole 321 so that the tab 41b does not come out of the insertion hole 321. That is, the upper plate 41 is attached to the mounting base 32 simply by inserting each tab 41b into the insertion hole 321. Different from this example, each tab 41b may have the above engaging portion.

[0021] As shown in FIG. 1, the side plates 42 are arranged at the front left edge and the front right edge of the radiator 21. A notch is formed in the middle part of the rear surface of the side plate 42 to avoid contact with the front cross member 102. The side plate 42 is arranged so as to straddle the front of the front cross member 102. The lower plate 43 is arranged at the front lower edge of the radiator 21. The lower plate 43 is arranged on the upper surface of the lower support 31c and connects the lower ends of the two side plates 42. The side plate 42 and the lower plate 43 have protruding pieces (not shown). These protruding pieces are inserted into insertion holes (not shown) provided in the side piece 32b and the lower piece 32c of the mounting base 32. By inserting these protruding pieces into the insertion holes, the side plate 42 and the lower plate 43 are attached to the side piece 32b and the lower piece 32c. These protruding pieces also do not have an engaging portion that catches in the insertion hole so that the protruding piece does not come out of the insertion hole. That is, the side plate 42 and the lower plate 43 are attached to the mounting base 32 simply by inserting each protruding piece into the insertion hole. Different from this example, these protruding pieces may have the above-described engaging portion.

[0022] The enclosure member 4 of this example may further include one transverse wall member 44 and a plurality of longitudinal wall members 45. The transverse wall member 44 and the plurality of longitudinal wall members 45 constitute a lower duct member that forms a plurality of spaces that run from the front to the rear between them and the lower plate 43. The transverse wall member 44 is arranged facing the lower plate 43. The plurality of longitudinal wall members 45 connect between the lower plate 43 and the transverse wall member 44.

[0023] A cushioning material 46 may be provided on the front surface of the enclosure member 4. A front grille (not shown) is disposed in front of the enclosure member 4. The enclosure member 4 is pressed rearward by the front grille. By this pressing, the enclosure member 4 is prevented from coming off forward from the mounting base 32. Since the cushioning material 46 is provided on the front surface of the enclosure member 4, the front grille can easily press the enclosure member 4. Therefore, the enclosure member 4 is less likely to come off forward from the mounting base 32. The cushioning material 46 is provided on the front surface of at least one of the upper plate 41, the side plate 42, and the lower duct member. In this example, the cushioning material 46 is provided on the front surface of each of the upper plate 41, the side plate 42, and the lower wall portion of the lower duct member. The cushioning material 46 is, for example, sponge or rubber.

[0024] [Duct] The duct 5 branches and takes in a part of the outside air introduced inside the enclosure member 4. The duct 5 is attached to the radiator support 31. The duct 5 has projecting portions 51 projecting to each of the left and right sides. In this example, each projecting portion 51 is attached to the front surface of the upper support 31a by a resin clip 9. The means for attaching the projecting portion 51 to the upper support 31a is not limited to the resin clip 9. The duct 5 has an opening end portion 52 connected to the exhaust port 41a. The duct 5 allows the outside air passing through the exhaust port 41a to flow through. The opening end portion 52 of this example is in contact with the upper surface of the upper plate 41. The opening end portion 52 and the upper plate 41 are not fixed to each other. A cushioning material (not shown) may be provided between the opening end portion 52 and the exhaust port 41a. The cushioning material makes it difficult to form a gap between the opening end portion 52 and the exhaust port 41a. The cushioning material is, for example, sponge or rubber. The duct 5 of this example extends rearward from the upper surface of the upper plate 41 and beyond the upper part of the upper support 31a. The object to which the outside air passing through the exhaust port 41a is sent by the duct 5 may be a second cooling device to be air-cooled, or a non-air-cooled device that does not require air-cooling. The object in this example is an intercooler (not shown). Different from this example, the object may be a timing belt, an oil pan, or an air cleaner, etc. Different from this example, the object may be a motor or an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) of an HEV (Hybrid Electric Vehicle) or a BEV (Battery Electric Vehicle), etc.

[0025] In the vehicle structure 1 of this example, as shown in FIG. 4, a portion near the tip on the upper surface of the protruding piece 41b of the upper plate 41 is supported from the outside to the inside of the surrounding member 4 by the outer support portion 323 of the insertion hole 321, and a portion near the base on the lower surface of the protruding piece 41b is supported from the inside to the outside of the surrounding member 4 by the inner support portion 322 of the insertion hole 321. In the vehicle structure 1 of this example, even if the opening end portion 52 of the duct 5 presses the upper plate 41 toward the inside of the surrounding member 4 due to dimensional tolerances such as the protruding portion 51 of the duct 5, the upper support 31a, the upper plate 41, and the mounting base 32 or variations in the relative positions of the respective members, the inclination of the upper plate 41 toward the inside of the surrounding member 4 is suppressed. Therefore, in the vehicle structure 1 of this example, it is difficult to form a gap between the opening end portion 52 and the exhaust port 41a of the upper plate 41, so it is difficult for the hot air that has flowed around from behind the radiator 21 to be sucked into the duct 5 through the above gap. Thus, the vehicle structure 1 of this example is likely to suppress a decrease in the cooling performance of the intercooler. The vehicle structure 1 of this example can suppress the formation of the above gap without firmly fixing or engaging the upper plate 41 to the mounting base 32, increasing the number of fixing or engaging portions of the upper plate 41 to the mounting base 32, or configuring the upper plate 41 with a highly rigid member. Therefore, the vehicle structure 1 of this example is likely to suppress an increase in cost, an increase in weight, and a decrease in productivity.

[0026] In the vehicle structure 1 of this example, since the protruding piece 41b extends linearly toward the mounting base 32, the protruding piece 41b can be used as a guide when attaching the upper plate 41 to the mounting base 32. Therefore, in the vehicle structure 1 of this example, even when it is difficult to visually check the mounting position of the upper plate 41, the operation of attaching the upper plate 41 to the mounting base 32 is easy to perform.

[0027] 《Embodiment 2》 Referring to FIG. 5, the vehicle structure of Embodiment 2 will be described. The vehicle structure of Embodiment 2 is different from that of Embodiment 1 in that the mounting base 32 has a protruding piece 325 and the upper plate 41 of the surrounding member 4 has an insertion hole 41d. The following description will focus on the differences from Embodiment 1. The description of the configurations and effects similar to those of Embodiment 1 may be omitted.

[0028] The protruding piece 325 extends linearly forward from the upper piece portion 32a of the mounting base 32. The insertion hole 41d is provided at the rear end of the upper plate 41. One insertion hole 41d is provided between the inner support portion 413, the outer support portion 414, and the two side wall portions 415. The inner support portion 413 supports the protruding piece 325 in the direction from the upper plate 41 toward the duct 5, in this example, upward. That is, the inner support portion 413 supports the protruding piece 325 in the direction against the load of the duct 5, in this example, upward. The inner support portion 413 supports the portion of the protruding piece 325 that is located inside the surrounding member 4. The inner support portion 413 of this example supports the lower surface of the protruding piece 325. The outer support portion 414 supports the protruding piece 325 in the direction from the duct 5 toward the upper plate 41, in this example, downward. That is, the outer support portion 414 supports the protruding piece 325 in the direction in which the load of the duct 5 acts, in this example, downward. The outer support portion 414 supports the portion of the protruding piece 325 that is located outside the surrounding member 4. The outer support portion 414 of this example supports the upper surface of the protruding piece 325. The outer support portion 414 is provided at a position closer to the tip of the protruding piece 325 than the inner support portion 413. In this example, the outer support portion 414 is provided in front of the inner support portion 413. Each side wall portion 415 connects the inner support portion 413 and the outer support portion 414 and restricts the lateral displacement of the upper plate 41.

[0029] The present invention is not limited to these examples, but is shown by the claims, and is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope equivalent to the claims.

[0030] For example, the exhaust port may be provided in the left side plate, the right side plate, or the lower plate. In this case, the duct has an opening end portion connected to the left surface of the left side plate, the right surface of the right side plate, or the lower surface of the lower plate.
