The rear cross member 35 is joined at both ends in the vehicle width direction to the inner side surfaces of the side frames 33 in the vehicle width direction by welding or the like.

[0024] As shown in Fig. 1, the vehicle includes a battery B for driving an electric drive mechanism (not shown), and a wireless charger 70 that receives electric power from an external source and supplies the received electric power to the battery B. In this embodiment, the battery B is disposed on the passenger compartment C side, and the wireless charger 70 is disposed in the engine compartment E. The battery B and the wireless charger 70 are electrically connected to enable transmission and reception of electric power.

[0025] The contactless charger 70 and its fixing structure X will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 6. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the contactless charger 70 is disposed between the front cross member 34 and the rear cross member 35.

[0026] As shown in Figure 4, the contactless charger 70 includes a receiving coil 71 that receives magnetic flux generated by passing a current through a transmitting coil embedded in the road surface of a parking lot or the like, generates a current by electromagnetic induction, and stores power in battery B, a rectifier 72 that rectifies the current in the receiving coil 71, and a casing 73 that houses the receiving coil 71 and the rectifier 72.

[0027] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the casing 73 has a main body 74 in which the receiving coil 71 is stored, a protruding portion 75 in which the rectifier 72 is stored and which protrudes upward from the main body 74, fixing portions 76 and 77 which protrude flange-like from the peripheral portion of the main body 74 in the vehicle width direction for fixing the contactless charger 70 to the subframe 30, and an inclined portion 78 which connects the upper surface of the main body 74 and the rear surface of the protruding portion 75 in a diagonal brace-like manner.

[0028] As shown in FIG. 5, the main body 74 is generally rectangular and flat in the vertical direction. The main body 74 has a generally rectangular bottom surface 74a extending generally horizontally, a front surface 74b extending upward from the front edge of the bottom surface 74a, a rear surface 74c extending upward from the rear edge of the bottom surface 74a, side surfaces 74d extending upward from both left and right side edges of the bottom surface 74a, a front upper surface 74e extending rearward from the upper edge of the front surface 74b, and a rear upper surface 74f extending forward from the upper edge of the rear surface 74c. The front upper surface 74e has a smaller width in the front-to-rear direction than the rear upper surface 74f. A protrusion 75 is disposed between the front upper surface 74e and the rear upper surface 74f.

[0029] 5 and 6, protrusion 75 has a generally rectangular parallelepiped shape that is longer in the vehicle body width direction than in the front-to-rear direction. Protrusion 75 is disposed at a position shifted forward from the center of main body 74 in the front-to-rear direction. Protrusion 75 has a front surface portion 75a extending upward from the rear edge of front upper surface portion 74e, an upper surface portion 75b extending rearward from the upper edge of front surface portion 75a, a rear surface portion 75c extending downward from the rear edge of upper surface portion 75b, and side surface portions 75d extending downward from both side edges of upper surface portion 75b to connect front surface portion 75a and rear surface portion 75c.

[0030] The fixing portions 76, 77 protrude outward in the vehicle width direction from the side surface portions 74d of the main body portion 74. The fixing portions 76, 77 include front fixing portions (first fixing portions) 76 provided on the front right and left sides of the main body portion 74, and rear fixing portions (second fixing portions) 77 provided on the rear right and left sides of the main body portion 74.

[0031] The inclined portion 78 is formed of a plurality of plate members that are triangular in side view. The inclined portion 78 is disposed between the rear surface 75c of the protruding portion 75 and the rear upper surface 74f of the main body 74. The inclined portion 78 is formed so as to slope upward toward the front. The plurality of plate members 78 are arranged side by side at equal intervals in the vehicle width direction from the center of the main body 74 in the vehicle width direction. In this embodiment, the inclined portion 78 is formed of heat dissipation fins for cooling the contactless charger 70.

[0032] The inclined portion 78 has a vertical side portion 78a extending up and down along the rear surface portion 75c, a bottom side portion 78b extending rearward from the lower end of the vertical side portion 78a along the rear upper surface portion 74f, and a hypotenuse side portion 78c connecting the upper end of the vertical side portion 78a and the rear end of the bottom side portion 78b.

[0033] The vertical side 78a is approximately the same height as the rear surface 75c of the protruding portion 75. The bottom side 78b extends from the rear surface 75c to the center of the rear upper surface 74f in the front-to-rear direction. The oblique side 78c rises forward from the center of the rear upper surface 74f in the front-to-rear direction and terminates at the rear upper edge 75e of the protruding portion 75. In this embodiment, the angle α between the oblique side 78c and the bottom side 78b is set to be equal to or greater than 20 degrees and equal to or less than 45 degrees.

[0034] As shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the main body 74 is located between the side frames 33 in the vehicle width direction, and is disposed across the front cross member 34 and the rear cross member 35 in the front-rear direction.

[0035] The front upper surface portion 74e of the main body portion 74 overlaps with the front cross 34 in the front-to-rear direction and is located below the front cross 34. The front surface portion 74b of the main body portion 74 generally coincides with the front surface 34a of the front cross 34. The front-to-rear dimension of the front upper surface portion 74e generally coincides with that of the front cross 34. In this embodiment, the main body portion 74 is fixed to the front cross 34 at the front fixing portion 76 with the front upper surface portion 74e abutting against the lower surface 34b of the front cross 34.

[0036] At least a portion of the rear upper surface portion 74f of the main body portion 74 overlaps with the rear cross member 35 in the front-to-rear direction and is located below the rear cross member 35. The front-to-rear position of the rear surface portion 74c of the main body portion 74 roughly coincides with the rear surface 35c of the rear cross member 35. The front-to-rear dimension of the rear upper surface portion 74f is larger than that of the rear cross member 35, and an inclined surface 78 is disposed near the front surface 35a of the rear cross member 35. In this embodiment, the main body portion 74 is fixed to the side frame 33 at the rear fixing portion 77 with the rear upper surface portion 74f abutting against the lower surface 35b of the rear cross member 35.

[0037] 6, the protruding portion 75 is disposed between the front cross member 34 and the rear cross member 35 in the front-to-rear direction. The protruding portion 75 overlaps in the up-down direction with the front cross member 34 and the rear cross member 35. The up-down position of the upper surface portion 75b of the protruding portion 75 generally coincides with the up-down position of the upper surfaces 34d, 35d of the front cross member 34 and the rear cross member 35.

[0038] The front surface 75a of the protruding portion 75 is disposed to face the rear surface 34c of the front cross member 34 from behind. The front surface 75a of the protruding portion 75 is a surface facing the front cross member 34. The rear surface 75c of the protruding portion 75 is disposed forward of the rear cross member 35.

[0039] The inclined portion 78 is disposed forward of the rear cross member 35. More specifically, the rear end 78d of the inclined portion 78 extends to the vicinity of the rear cross member 35. In other words, the rear cross member 35 is disposed near the rear end 78d of the inclined portion 78.

[0040] In this embodiment, the vicinity of the rear end 78d of the inclined portion 78 may be a position where the rear cross 35 abuts the inclined portion 78 when a predetermined impact load (for example, a load input to the vehicle body in a full-overlap frontal collision test or an offset frontal collision test such as JNCAP) is input from the front of the vehicle body, and the rear cross 35 may be spaced apart vertically from the inclined portion 78, while its longitudinal position overlaps with the rear end 78d of the inclined portion 78, or the rear cross 35 may be spaced apart from the inclined portion 78.

[0041] 4, the front fixing portion 76 is provided to protrude outward in the vehicle width direction from the front side surface portion 74d of the main body portion 74. The front fixing portion 76 is located below the front cross 34 and is fixed to the front cross 34 via a front fastening member 76a such as a bolt. The front fixing portion 76 and the front cross 34 are fastened together by inserting the front fastening member 76a from below while they are stacked in the vertical direction and screwing it into a weld nut or the like provided on the front cross 34.

[0042] The rear fixing portion 77 is provided to protrude outward in the vehicle width direction from a rear side surface portion 74d of the main body portion 74. The rear fixing portion 77 is located below the rear end of the side frame 33 and is fixed to the side frame 33 via a rear fastening member 77a such as a bolt. With the rear fixing portion 77 and the side frame 33 overlapping in the vertical direction, the rear fastening member 77a is inserted from below and screwed into, for example, a weld nut or the like provided on the rear cross member 35, thereby fixing the contactless charger 70 to the subframe 30.

[0043] The rear fastening portion 77 includes a fastening structure X that can be detached by an impact load from the front of the vehicle. The fastening structure X is configured to break when an impact load is input from the front of the vehicle. In this embodiment, the size (strength) of the rear fastening member (bolt) 77a is set so that when an impact load is input from the front of the vehicle, the rear fastening member 77a breaks, for example, by tension and / or shear, allowing the rear fastening portion 77 to detach from the side frame 33. The strength of the rear fastening member 77a is smaller than that of the front fastening member 76a. The rear fastening member 77a may be configured, for example, by a bolt whose base can be broken when an impact load is input from the front of the vehicle.

[0044] In the vehicle front structure 1 configured in this manner, when an impact load is input from the front of the vehicle, as shown in FIG. 7( a), the beam members 64 and the sub-crash cans 63 move backward while being crushed and deformed, and the side frames 33 also move backward while being crushed and deformed. As the side frames 33 move backward, the front cross members 34 fixed to the front ends of the side frames 33 also move backward. The rear surfaces 34c of the moved forward front cross members 34 come into contact with the front surfaces 75a of the protrusions 75, transmitting part of the impact load to the non-contact charger 70, and a load in the shear direction acts on the rear fastening members 77a of the rear fixing parts 77. As a result, the rear fastening members 77a serving as the fixing structures X between the rear fixing parts 77 and the side frames 33 break, and the connection between the rear fastening members 77a and the side frames 33 is released.

[0045] 7(b), when the contactless charger 70 moves backward, the oblique side portion 78c of the inclined portion 78 comes into contact with the rear cross member 35, and the contactless charger 70 moves along the oblique side portion 78c below and behind the rear cross member 35. At this time, the movement of the rear cross member 35 acts to press the contactless charger 70 downward, so that the fastening member 77a, which is fastened in the vertical direction, is pulled downward from the side frame 33, and the contactless charger 70 detaches from the subframe 30.

[0046] 7(c), as the crushing deformation of the side frame 33 progresses further, the contactless charger 70 is guided by the inclined portion 78 and moves rearward so that the rear cross 35 is positioned on the upper surface 75b of the protruding portion 75. As a result, the protruding portion 75 moves lower than the rear cross 35, which prevents the crushing deformation of the side frame 33 from being hindered, as would be the case if the protruding portion 75 were sandwiched between the front cross 34 and the rear cross 35.

[0047] The vehicle front structure 1 according to the above embodiment provides the following advantages.

[0048] The vehicle front structure 1 includes a pair of left and right side frames 33 extending in the front-rear direction, a front cross member 34 installed between a pair of left and right side frames 33; a non-contact charger 70 as an in-vehicle device located between the pair of left and right side frames 33; The contactless charger 70 a front fixing portion 76 fixed to the front cross member 34; a rear fixing portion 77 that is located rearward of the front fixing portion 76 and is fixed to the side frame 33 in a fixing structure that allows it to fall off when subjected to an impact load from the front of the vehicle; It has.

[0049] According to the present invention, when an impact load is input from the front of the vehicle, the contactless charger 70 falls off from the side frame 33 at the rear fixing portion 77, so that even when the contactless charger 70 is positioned between a pair of left and right side frames 33, the deformation of the side frame 33 is prevented from being hindered by the contactless charger 70.

[0050] The suspension further includes a rear cross member 35 (suspension cross member 30) as a rear member disposed rearward of the front cross member 34. The non-contact charger 70 includes a guide portion 78 that moves the non-contact charger 70 downward when the non-contact charger 70 comes into contact with the front cross 34 due to an impact load from the front of the vehicle.

[0051] According to this configuration, when an impact load is input from the front of the vehicle, the contactless charger 70 can be more reliably moved downward and easily removed.

[0052] The guide unit is provided in the non-contact charger 70, The guide portion is an inclined portion 78 that faces the front surface 35a of the rear cross member 35 and is inclined upward toward the front.

[0053] According to this configuration, when an impact load is input from the front of the vehicle, the inclined portion 78 makes it easier to move the non-contact charger 70 below the rear cross 35, thereby facilitating the non-contact charger 70 to separate from the side frame 33.

[0054] The rear cross member 35 is disposed near the rear end of the inclined portion 78 .

[0055] According to this configuration, when the contactless charger 70 moves rearward, the rear cross member 35 can be more reliably brought into contact with the inclined portion 78.

[0056] The rear fastening member 77a (fixing structure X) of the rear fixing portion 77 breaks when an impact load is input from the front of the vehicle.

[0057] According to this configuration, the rear fastening member 77a is broken by the input of an impact load from the front of the vehicle, and the contactless charger 70 can be easily detached from the side frame 33.

[0058] The contactless charger 70 includes a protrusion 75 having a surface facing the rear surface 34c of the front cross member 34.

[0059] According to this configuration, when an impact load is input from the front of the vehicle, the cross member presses the front bottom surface and protrusion of the contactless charger rearward, making it easy to detach the contactless charger from the side frame.

[0060] The non-contact charger 70 includes a rear upper surface portion 74f extending rearward from the protrusion 75, The inclined portion 78 extends from the rear upper surface portion 74f toward the rear upper edge portion 75e of the protruding portion 75.

[0061] With this configuration, when an impact load is input from the front of the vehicle, the rear cross member 35 can be easily moved to the upper surface 75b of the protruding portion 75 of the contactless charger 70. As in the case where the inclined portion 78 is positioned below the rear upper edge 75e of the protruding portion 75, a step that can occur between the rear surface 75c of the protruding portion 75 and the inclined portion 78 is suppressed, and the movement of the rear cross member 35 can be prevented from being hindered.

[0062] The rear cross member 35 is a part of a suspension cross member (subframe) 30 for supporting the suspension.

[0063] According to this configuration, the contactless charger 70 can be detached from the side frame 33 by utilizing the suspension cross member (subframe) 30 without providing any other member.

[0064] The guide portion 78 is a heat dissipation fin for cooling the non-contact charger 70.

[0065] According to this configuration, the guide portion 78 can be configured using the heat dissipation fins.

[0066] The present invention is not limited to the configurations described in the above embodiments, and various modifications are possible.

[0067] In the present embodiment, the rear fixing portion 77 has been described as being configured such that the rear fastening member 77a breaks when an impact load is applied from the front of the vehicle, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, as shown by the two-dot chain line in Fig. 5, the rear fixing portion 77 may be provided with a slit portion 77c extending forward from a hole 77b through which the rear fastening member 77a of the rear fixing portion 77 is inserted. As a result, when an impact load is applied from the front of the vehicle and the contactless charger 70 moves backward, the rear fastening member 77a passes through the slit portion 77c and disengages from the rear fixing portion 77, and the fastening between the rear fixing portion 77 and the side frame 33 is released.

[0068] In this embodiment, a configuration has been described in which the guide portion 78 is provided on the non-contact charger 70 (casing 73), but this is not limited to this. The guide portion 78 may be configured by inclining the rear cross 35 so that it slopes upward toward the front, as shown by the two-dot chain line in Figure 6, or an inclined portion may be attached in front of the rear cross 35.

[0069] In this embodiment, the upper end of the oblique side portion 78c is described as being located at the upper rear edge of the protrusion 75, but this is not limited to this. The upper end of the oblique side portion 78c may be located at a position where the rear cross 35 abuts against a step that may occur between the rear surface 75c of the protrusion 75 and the upper end of the oblique side portion 78c, and does not hinder downward and rearward movement of the contactless charger 70 when an impact load is input, and may be located, for example, below the upper rear edge.
