Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a ceiling structure for a vehicle. [Background technology]

[0002] BACKGROUND ART Generally, some vehicles are provided with a glass roof in which an opening is provided in a part of the roof for the purpose of, for example, admitting light and the like, and the opening is closed with a glass plate (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2019-147512 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In the above-mentioned vehicles, it is desirable to make the glass roof larger from the viewpoint of commercial value, such as improving the sense of openness. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] Various aspects of the vehicle ceiling structure for solving the above problems will be described below. [Mode 1] A vehicle ceiling structure comprising a glass roof provided in a portion of the vehicle roof including the end portion in the vehicle width direction, and a cover member attached to the vehicle on the underside of the glass roof inside the vehicle at the end portion in the vehicle width direction at the upper end of the vehicle interior, covering vehicle components from the side, wherein the cover member extends so that at least the upper surface of the cover member opposite the vehicle components forms an angle of 90° or less with the inner surface of the glass roof.

[0006] With this configuration, the length of the glass roof as seen from the interior side of the vehicle in the vehicle width direction can be made longer than when the angle is an obtuse angle, and therefore the glass roof can be made larger.

[0007] [Aspect 2] A ceiling structure for a vehicle as described in [Aspect 1], characterized in that it includes a roof trim that is positioned below the cover member inside the vehicle and covers the vehicle parts from below, and the cover member extends from the upper end of the roof trim toward the end of the glass roof in the vehicle width direction.

[0008] According to the above configuration, the vehicle part can be covered by the roof trim and the cover member, so the cover member can be made smaller than when the vehicle part is covered only by the cover member.

[0009] [Aspect 3] A vehicle ceiling structure as described in [Aspect 1] or [Aspect 2], characterized in that the cover member is removably attached to the vehicle. According to the above configuration, by removing the cover member from the vehicle, the vehicle component that was covered by the cover member can be exposed, making it easy to perform maintenance on the vehicle component. [Effects of the Invention]

[0010] The present invention has the advantage that the glass roof can be made larger. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0011] [Figure 1] 1 is a perspective view of a vehicle according to an embodiment. [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view taken along line 2-2 of FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0012] An embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. <Vehicle 11> As shown in Figures 1 and 2, a vehicle 11 has a roof 12 at its upper end. An opening 13 is formed in the roof 12. The opening 13 has a rectangular shape extending in the front-to-rear direction. A rectangular glass roof 14 is provided in the opening 13 so as to close the opening 13.

[0013] Glass roof 14 is provided in a portion of roof 12 that includes both the left and right ends. A sealant 15 made of rubber or the like is provided around the periphery of glass roof 14. Sealant 15 provides a seal between the periphery of glass roof 14 and the periphery of opening 13 in roof 12.

[0014] In the following description, the front-rear direction, left-right direction, and up-down direction correspond to the front-rear direction, left-right direction (vehicle width direction), and up-down direction, with the forward direction of the vehicle 11 being the front. <Ceiling structure of car 11> The ceiling structure of vehicle 11 is symmetrical and has the same configuration at the right and left ends, so here we will only explain the ceiling structure at the right end of vehicle 11, and will omit explaining the ceiling structure at the left end of vehicle 11.

[0015] 2, the ceiling structure of the vehicle 11 includes a glass roof 14, a synthetic resin cover member 16, and a synthetic resin roof trim 17. A wire harness 19 as an example of a vehicle part and an airbag device 20 as an example of a vehicle part are arranged below the glass roof 14 in the vehicle interior 18 at the right end of the upper end of the vehicle interior 18.

[0016] The cover member 16 has a plate-shaped cover body 21 extending in the front-rear direction, and a plurality of mounting portions 23 protruding from a back surface 22 of the cover body 21 at appropriate intervals in the front-rear direction. A front surface 24 of the cover body 21 is a design surface. A clip 27 is provided at the tip of the mounting portion 23, which is removably inserted into a plurality of mounting holes 26 formed in a frame 25 of the vehicle 11 located near the wire harness 19. The plurality of mounting holes 26 are arranged to correspond to the plurality of mounting portions 23.

[0017] The cover member 16 is detachably attached to the frame 25 of the vehicle 11 in a state where it covers the wire harness 19 from the left side by inserting the clips 27 of the multiple mounting portions 23 into the multiple mounting holes 26, respectively. That is, the cover member 16 is detachably attached to the frame 25 of the vehicle 11 in a state where it covers the wire harness 19 from the left side, below the glass roof 14 in the vehicle interior 18, at the right end at the upper end of the vehicle interior 18.

[0018] The roof trim 17 is plate-shaped and is disposed below the cover member 16 in the vehicle interior 18. The roof trim 17 covers the airbag device 20 from below. The roof trim 17 is disposed in an orientation in which the left side is higher than the right side.

[0019] The cover body 21 of the cover member 16 extends from the surface of the upper end of the roof trim 17 toward the right end of the glass roof 14. It is preferable that the cover member 16 extends so that the angle A formed between a surface 24, which is the surface of the upper part of the cover body 21 opposite the wire harness 19 side, and the inner surface 30 of the glass roof 14 is 90° or less. It is more preferable that the cover member 16 extends so that the angle A is an acute angle. In this example, the angle A is set to approximately 60°, for example. A small gap is formed between the upper end of the cover body 21 and the inner surface 30 of the glass roof 14.

[0020] <Operation of the embodiment> When performing maintenance on the wire harness 19, first, the clips 27 of the multiple mounting portions 23 of the cover member 16 are pulled out from the multiple mounting holes 26, respectively, to remove the cover member 16 from the frame 25 of the vehicle 11. This exposes the wire harness 19, allowing maintenance of the wire harness 19 to be performed. After maintenance on the wire harness 19, the clips 27 of the multiple mounting portions 23 of the cover member 16 are inserted into the multiple mounting holes 26, respectively, to attach the cover member 16 to the frame 25 of the vehicle 11.

[0021] In this way, maintenance of the wire harness 19 can be easily performed by removing only the cover member 16 from the vehicle 11 without removing large parts including the ceiling.

[0022] <Effects of the embodiment> According to the embodiment described above in detail, the following effects are achieved. (1) In the ceiling structure of the vehicle 11, the cover member 16 extends so that the angle A between the surface 24, which is the surface opposite the wire harness 19 at least at the upper part of the cover body 21, and the inner surface 30 of the glass roof 14 is 90° or less.

[0023] With the above configuration, the length of the glass roof 14 in the left-right direction as seen from inside the vehicle can be made longer than when angle A is an obtuse angle, and the glass roof 14 can therefore be made larger.

[0024] (2) In the ceiling structure of the vehicle 11, the cover member 16 extends from the upper end of the roof trim 17 toward the right end of the glass roof 14. According to the above configuration, the wire harness 19 and the airbag device 20 can be covered by the roof trim 17 and the cover member 16, so the cover member 16 can be made smaller than when the wire harness 19 and the airbag device 20 are covered only by the cover member 16.

[0025] (3) In the ceiling structure of the vehicle 11, the cover member 16 is detachably attached to the frame 25 of the vehicle 11. According to the above configuration, the wire harness 19 that was covered by the cover member 16 can be exposed by removing the cover member 16 from the frame 25 of the vehicle 11, making it easy to perform maintenance on the wire harness 19.

[0026] <Example of change> The above embodiment can be modified as follows: Furthermore, the above embodiment and the following modifications can be combined with each other within the scope of technical compatibility.

[0027] The cover member 16 does not necessarily have to be detachably attached to the frame 25 of the vehicle 11. In other words, the cover member 16 may be fixed to the frame 25 of the vehicle 11 by, for example, bolts.

[0028] The roof trim 17 may be omitted, and the wire harness 19 and the airbag device 20 may be covered only by the cover member 16 . The cover member 16 may extend so that the angle A formed between the surface 24 of the entire cover body 21 and the inner surface 30 of the glass roof 14 is 90° or less.

[0029] The surface 24 of the cover body 21 of the cover member 16 may be decorated. In this way, the design of the cover member 16 can be improved. The wire harness 19 may be attached to the rear surface 22 of the cover body 21 of the cover member 16 .

[0030] An antenna may be disposed together with the wire harness 19 as an example of a vehicle component. The glass roof 14 may be provided in a portion of the roof 12 that includes either one of the left and right end portions.

[0031] A plurality of glass roofs 14 may be provided for the roof 12. [Explanation of symbols]
