Abstract
Description
【Technical Field】 【0001】 The present invention relates to a vehicle front structure. 【Background Art】 【0002】 Generally, a front bumper is provided at the front of a vehicle such as an automobile, and a pair of headlamps fixed to the vehicle body structure members (vehicle skeleton members) are arranged on the left and right sides of the upper part of the front bumper. And, the portion of the front bumper where the headlamp is arranged is cut out downward, and the headlamp is often arranged adjacent to the edge of this cut-out portion. In recent years, a part of the front surface of the headlamp may be covered by a lamp garnish. As a vehicle front structure having such a lamp garnish, for example, the vehicle front structure described in Patent Document 1 is known. In this structure, the front bumper is composed of a plurality of members, and a light cover (hereinafter referred to as a lamp garnish) is attached to a bracket fixed to the front surface of the headlamp, so that the lamp garnish is arranged adjacent to the edge of the front bumper. 【Prior Art Documents】 【Patent Documents】 【0003】 【Patent Document 1】 Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2013-52700 【Summary of the Invention】 【Problems to be Solved by the Invention】 【0004】 Incidentally, in general, vehicle assembly plants assemble parts sequentially onto the vehicle body as it moves along the assembly line. When the front bumper is composed of multiple components, as in the vehicle front structure described in Patent Document 1, if each component constituting the front bumper is assembled to the vehicle body one by one on the assembly line and connected to the other components constituting the front bumper, the overall length of the assembly line becomes longer or the line speed of the assembly line slows down. For this reason, it is desirable that the front bumper be assembled as a single component outside the assembly line, and that the pre-assembled front bumper be assembled together onto the vehicle body on the assembly line. 【0005】 Furthermore, the lamp garnish, which covers a portion of the front of the headlamp, and the front bumper are adjacent components that form a design surface, and it is necessary to prevent damage from contact between the lamp garnish and the front bumper during assembly. In this regard, in the vehicle front structure described in Patent Document 1, in order to prevent damage from contact between the lamp garnish and the front bumper during assembly, the front bumper, which is a larger component than the lamp garnish and difficult to handle, must be assembled to the vehicle body first, and then the lamp garnish must be assembled to the headlamp via a bracket. Therefore, in the vehicle front structure described in Patent Document 1, a process for assembling the lamp garnish must be provided on the assembly line, which increases the overall length of the assembly line or slows down the line speed of the assembly line, leaving room for improvement in terms of assembly efficiency. This problem can also occur even when the front bumper is formed as a single component. 【0006】 The present invention aims to provide a vehicle front structure that can improve assembly efficiency while preventing damage caused by contact between the lamp garnish and the front bumper during assembly. [Means for solving the problem] 【0007】 To achieve the above objective, one aspect of the present invention provides a front vehicle structure comprising: a front bumper having a front panel portion extending in the vehicle width direction at the front of the vehicle and a side panel portion extending rearward from the vehicle width direction side portion of the front panel portion; a vehicle body structural member provided behind the front bumper and supporting the front bumper; a headlamp positioned adjacent to the edge of a cutout portion cut downward from the front panel portion to the side panel portion on the upper vehicle width direction side portion of the front bumper and fixed to the vehicle body structural member; and a lamp garnish covering a part of the front surface of the headlamp and extending in the vehicle width direction. In this vehicle front structure, the edge portion has a vertical edge portion extending downward from the front upper end of the side panel portion and a horizontal edge portion extending inward in the vehicle width direction from the lower end of the vertical edge portion, the lamp garnish extends from the upper end of the vertical edge portion to the inner end of the horizontal edge portion in the vehicle width direction, the front bumper has an outer mounting portion to which the outer end of the garnish, which is the outer end of the lamp garnish in the vehicle width direction, is attached, the outer mounting portion extending from the upper end of the vertical edge portion to a position behind the outer end of the garnish, and an inner mounting portion to which the inner end of the garnish, which is the inner end of the lamp garnish in the vehicle width direction, is attached, the inner mounting portion extending from the inner end of the horizontal edge portion in the vehicle width direction to a position behind the inner end of the garnish. [Effects of the Invention] 【0008】 According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a vehicle front structure that can improve assembly efficiency while preventing damage caused by contact between the lamp garnish and the front bumper during assembly.

The front bumper 10 has a front panel portion 10A extending in the vehicle width direction at the front of the vehicle, and a side panel portion 10B extending rearward from the side portion in the vehicle width direction of the front panel portion 10A. In other words, the front bumper 10 is divided into a front panel portion 10A that constitutes the design surface of the front of the vehicle and generally faces the front of the vehicle, and a side panel portion 10B that constitutes the design surface of the side surface at the front of the vehicle and generally faces outward in the vehicle width direction. The front panel portion 10A extends across the entire vehicle width direction of the vehicle. The side panel portion 10B extends from the front corner portion of the front of the vehicle to the front edge portion of the fender panel 28 described later. 【0013】 In the present embodiment, the front bumper 10 is an exterior member (exterior unit) composed of a plurality of members. Each member constituting the front bumper 10 is mainly made of a resin molded product. The front bumper 10 composed of a plurality of members is assembled as one part in advance, for example, outside the assembly line. The plurality of members constituting the front bumper 10 will be described in detail later. 【0014】 The vehicle body structure member 20 is a member provided behind the front bumper 10 and supporting the front bumper 10. The vehicle body structure member 20 constitutes a part of the skeleton (frame) of the vehicle, supports not only the front bumper 10 but also other parts such as the headlamp 30, and has high strength. 【0015】 Referring to Figure 3, the vehicle body structural member 20 is composed of multiple members, and in the illustrated example, it includes a pair of left and right front side members 21, 21, a bumper cross member 22, a pair of left and right longitudinal frames 23, 23, a hood lock member 24, a radiator support member 25, a connecting plate 26, and a pair of left and right support braces 27, 27. The pair of front side members 21, 21 are spaced apart from each other in the vehicle width direction and extend from the lower part of the dash panel (not shown) to the vicinity of the front bumper 10. The bumper cross member 22 extends in the vehicle width direction along the rear surface of the front bumper 10 and connects the front ends of the pair of front side members 21, 21. The pair of longitudinal frames 23, 23 are spaced apart from each other in the vehicle width direction and extend upward from the front part of the upper surface of the front side member 21. The hood lock member 24 is a member having a locking part that locks the front part of the front hood and extends in the vehicle width direction. The hood lock member 24 connects the upper parts of a pair of vertical frames 23, 23. The radiator support member 25 is a component for supporting cooling equipment such as a radiator, and connects the middle parts of a pair of vertical frames 23, 23. The connecting plate 26 is a component that connects the middle part of the hood lock member 24 and the middle part of the radiator support member 25. The pair of support braces 27, 27 each extend downward from the front side member 21. 【0016】 The headlamps 30 are lamps that are installed on both sides in the width direction of the front of the vehicle and project light forward. The headlamps 30 are positioned adjacent to the edge 11a of a notch 11 that is cut downward from the front panel portion 10A to the side panel portion 10B on the upper side in the width direction of the front bumper 10. The headlamps 30 are able to project light to the outside by exposing the front surface 31 of the headlamps 30 (specifically, the front surface of the lens) to the outside of the vehicle through the notch 11. The notch 11 is cut out in a shape that corresponds to the contour of the area of the front surface 31 of the headlamps 30 that is exposed to the outside of the vehicle. In the illustrated example, the notch 11 is formed as a notch that opens upward when viewed from the front-rear direction of the vehicle. 【0017】 The edge of the notch portion 11 has a vertical edge portion 11a extending downward from the upper front end of the side panel portion 10B of the front bumper 10, and a horizontal edge portion 11b extending inward in the vehicle width direction from the lower end of the vertical edge portion 11a. In the illustrated example, the vertical edge portion 11a is an edge portion that extends vertically on the outer side in the vehicle width direction among the edges of the notch portion 11, and the horizontal edge portion 11b is an edge portion that extends in the vehicle width direction at the bottom among the edges of the notch portion 11. Specifically, the upper portion of the vertical edge portion 11a is smoothly curved so as to be located on the outer side and the rear side in the vehicle width direction with respect to the lower portion. The horizontal edge portion 11b is inclined substantially linearly such that the outer side portion in the vehicle width direction is located on the upper side and the rear side with respect to the inner side portion in the vehicle width direction. 【0018】 A fender panel 28 extending in the vehicle front-rear direction is disposed behind the outer edge in the vehicle width direction of the headlamp 30. The fender panel 28 is disposed adjacent to the rear edge portion of the side panel portion 10B of the front bumper 10 and a part of the upper side of the outer edge in the vehicle width direction of the headlamp 30, and cooperates with the side panel portion 10B to constitute the design surface of the side surface at the front portion of the vehicle. The fender panel 28 is fixed to other members (for example, dash side frames, etc.) not shown that constitute the vehicle body structure member 20. The fender panel 28 has an upper flange 28a extending inward in the vehicle width direction from the front portion of the upper edge portion, a front flange 28b extending inward in the vehicle width direction from the front edge portion, and a vertical flange 28c extending substantially forward from the inner end of the front flange 28b. 【0019】 The front surface 31 of the headlamp 30 is inclined such that the outer side portion is located behind the inner side portion in the vehicle width direction, and is inclined such that the upper side portion is located behind the lower side portion in the vehicle up-down direction. The upper surface 32 of the headlamp 30 forms a continuous design line with the upper edge portion of the front bumper 10 and the upper edge portion of the fender panel 28. 【0020】 As shown in Figure 3, the headlamp 30 is fixed to the vehicle body structural member 20. The headlamp 30 has a plurality (in this case, two) inner lamp fixing parts 33a and a plurality (in this case, two) outer lamp fixing parts 33b. Each fixing part (33a, 33b) is formed in a flange shape that protrudes from the edge of the headlamp 30. The two inner lamp fixing parts 33a are provided on the inner edge of the headlamp 30 in the vehicle width direction, and the two outer lamp fixing parts 33b are provided on the outer edge of the headlamp 30 in the vehicle width direction. Each inner lamp fixing part 33a is fixed to the front surface of the vertical frame 23 of the vehicle body structural member 20 using fasteners such as bolts. The upper outer lamp fixing part 33b is fixed to the upper flange 28a of the fender panel 28 using fasteners such as bolts, and the lower outer lamp fixing part 33b is fixed to the vertical flange 28c of the fender panel 28 using fasteners such as bolts. The outer edge of the headlamp 30 in the vehicle width direction is fixed to the vehicle body structural member 20 (for example, a dash side frame, not shown) via the outer lamp fixing part 33b and the fender panel 28. Therefore, both edges of the headlamp 30 in the vehicle width direction are firmly supported by the vehicle body structural member 20. 【0021】 The lamp garnish 40 is a decorative member that covers a portion of the front surface 31 of the headlamp 30 and extends in the vehicle width direction. The lamp garnish 40 is mainly made of molded resin, and its surface is coated with a metallic-looking plated paint. The lamp garnish 40 extends from the upper end of the vertical edge 11a of the cutout 11 of the front bumper 10 to the inner end in the vehicle width direction of the horizontal edge 11b of the cutout 11. The lamp garnish 40 has an outer garnish end 40a, which is the outer end of the lamp garnish 40 in the vehicle width direction, and an inner garnish end 40b, which is the inner end of the lamp garnish 40 in the vehicle width direction. The outer garnish end 40a and the inner garnish end 40b are portions of the lamp garnish 40 that have a predetermined length in the longitudinal direction at the end of the lamp garnish 40. 【0022】 In this embodiment, the lamp garnish 40 extends inward in the vehicle width direction from the outer end 40a of the garnish, curves downward at a predetermined intermediate portion 40c and extends toward the inner end 40b of the garnish, and bulges toward the front of the vehicle. The lamp garnish 40 has a lateral garnish portion 40A that extends from the outer end 40a of the garnish toward the intermediate portion 40c, and an inner garnish portion 40B that extends from the intermediate portion 40c toward the inner end 40b of the garnish. 【0023】 The horizontal garnish portion 40A is separated upward from the horizontal edge portion 11b and extends parallel to the horizontal edge portion 11b. The inner garnish portion 40B is separated inward in the vehicle width direction from the vertical edge portion 11a of the notch portion 11 and extends parallel to the vertical edge portion 11a. The horizontal garnish portion 40A extends roughly in the vehicle width direction in front of the middle portion of the front surface 31 of the headlamp 30 in the vehicle vertical direction, and is positioned to divide the front surface 31 into two parts vertically. The front surface 31 of the headlamp 30 (that is, the front surface of the outer lens at the very front of the headlamp 30) is divided by the horizontal garnish portion 40A into the area of the upper lighting portion 31a (in other words, the upper light-transmitting portion or upper lens portion) and the area of the lower lighting portion 31b (in other words, the lower light-transmitting portion or lower lens portion). For example, the upper light section 31a constitutes the direction indicator section, and the lower light section 31b constitutes the headlight section. 【0024】 Next, the multiple components constituting the front bumper 10 will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 4. Figure 4 is an enlarged front view of the main part of the front bumper 10 of the vehicle front structure 100. In this embodiment, the front bumper 10 has a grille 12, a pair of left and right side bumpers 13, 13, and a pair of left and right grille side garnishes 16, 16. In other words, the multiple components include one grille 12, two side bumpers 13, and two grille side garnishes 16. In the illustrated example, the multiple components further include a pair of left and right fog lamp bezels 14, 14, and one lower bumper 15. Each pair of the above components is formed symmetrically to each other. In Figure 4, the grille side garnishes 16 and lamp garnishes 40 have been removed. 【0025】 The grille 12 constitutes the central part in the vehicle width direction of the front bumper portion 10A of the front bumper 10. The upper part of the grille 12 protrudes above the horizontal edge portion 11b of the cutout portion 11. The grille 12 is positioned in the central part in the vehicle width direction of the front bumper portion 10A (front part of the vehicle) and extends in the vertical direction of the vehicle, with the upper part of the grille 12 positioned between the pair of headlamps 30, 30. The grille 12 is a resin component with multiple ventilation holes 12a formed therein. The grille 12 is made of a material with higher rigidity than the other components of the front bumper 10. The inner part in the vehicle width direction of the edge of the cutout portion 11 is formed by the vehicle width direction edge of the grille 12. 【0026】 The side bumper 13 includes the side panel portion 10B and is connected to the side portion 12b of the grille 12 in the vehicle width direction. The inner portion 13a of the side bumper 13 in the vehicle width direction is connected to the side portion 12b of the grille 12 in the vehicle width direction. The side bumper 13 extends outward in the vehicle width direction from the connection point with the grille 12 to the front corner of the front of the vehicle, then bends rearward at the front corner and extends rearward to the front edge of the fender panel 28. Of the side bumper 13, the portion from the inner portion 13a in the vehicle width direction to the front corner generally faces forward and constitutes part of the front panel portion 10A. Of the side bumper 13, the portion from the front corner to the front edge of the fender panel 28 generally faces outward in the vehicle width direction and constitutes the side panel portion 10B. 【0027】 The fog lamp bezel 14 is attached to the side bumper 13 from the front of the vehicle so as to cover a portion of the front panel portion 10A of the side bumper 13. The fog lamp bezel 14 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape when viewed from the front. The fog lamp bezel 14 has a through hole 14a for exposing a fog lamp (not shown) to the outside. The fog lamp bezel 14 has a bead portion 14b that protrudes toward the front of the vehicle and extends along the upper edge, the inner edge in the vehicle width direction, and the lower edge of the fog lamp bezel 14. 【0028】 The lower bumper 15 forms the lower part of the front bumper 10. The lower bumper 15 extends in the vehicle width direction and has a length in the vehicle width direction corresponding to the overall width of the vehicle. The upper end of the lower bumper 15 is connected to the lower end of the grille 12 and the lower end of the side bumper 13, respectively. The side portion of the lower bumper 15 in the vehicle width direction is curved towards the rear of the vehicle in accordance with the curved shape of the side bumper 13. 【0029】 The grille side garnish 16 covers the connection point F1 between the side portion 12b of the grille 12 in the vehicle width direction and the inner portion 13a of the side bumper 13 in the vehicle width direction from the front, and is adjacent to the lower end of the lamp garnish 40. The grille side garnish 16 also covers the connection point (not shown) between the lower edge of the side bumper 13 and the upper edge of the lower bumper 15 from the front. At the connection point F1, the grille 12 and the side bumper 13 are fastened to each other using fasteners such as screws. 【0030】 The grille side garnish 16 has a portion that extends vertically along the vehicle width direction side portion 12b of the grille 12 and the vehicle width direction inner portion 13a of the side bumper 13, and a portion that extends horizontally along the vehicle width direction lower edge portion of the side bumper 13 and the upper edge portion of the lower bumper 15, and is formed in a substantially L-shape when viewed from the front. As shown in Figure 12, which will be described later, the lower end portion of the lamp garnish 40 (more specifically, the inner contact portion 44 of the inner end portion 40b of the garnish, which will be described later) is provided overlapping the upper end portion 16a of the grille side garnish 16 (see Figures 10 and 12) from the front of the vehicle. Multiple engaging claws (not shown) are provided on the periphery of the grille side garnish 16. Multiple bumper engagement holes 17 that engage with the multiple engaging claws are formed in the grille 12, fog lamp bezel 14 and lower bumper 15 at positions corresponding to the multiple engaging claws of the grille side garnish 16. 【0031】 Here, the front bumper 10, which consists of multiple components, is pre-assembled as a single part outside the assembly line from the viewpoint of improving efficiency in the vehicle assembly line. In other words, multiple components (12, 13, 14, 15, 16) are fastened and engaged with each other by the aforementioned fasteners such as screws and engaging claws, etc., to be assembled as a single part. Furthermore, the front structure 100 of the vehicle has the structure described below in order to further improve the efficiency of assembly. 【0032】 Next, the main parts of the vehicle's front structure 100 will be described. Figure 5 is an enlarged front view illustrating the mounting position of the lamp garnish 40 to the front bumper 10. 【0033】 Referring to Figures 4 and 5, in the front vehicle structure 100, the front bumper 10 has an outer mounting portion 18 to which the outer end 40a of the lamp garnish 40, which is the outer end in the vehicle width direction, is attached, and an inner mounting portion 19 to which the inner end 40b of the lamp garnish 40, which is the inner end in the vehicle width direction, is attached. The outer mounting portion 18 extends from the upper end of the vertical edge 11a of the cutout portion 11 of the front bumper 10 to a position behind the outer end 40a of the garnish, and the inner mounting portion 19 extends from the inner end in the vehicle width direction of the horizontal edge 11b of the cutout portion 11 to a position behind the inner end 40b of the garnish. In other words, the outer mounting portion 18 and the inner mounting portion 19 extend to a position that is hidden by the end of the lamp garnish 40 when viewed from the front of the vehicle, and in the illustrated example, they are provided on the edges (11a, 11b) of the side bumper 13. The detailed structure of the outer mounting portion 18 and the inner mounting portion 19 will be described later. 【0034】 The lamp garnish 40 is attached to the front bumper 10, which is pre-assembled as a single part, via an outer mounting portion 18 and an inner mounting portion 19. In this state, the lamp garnish 40 is positioned adjacent to the upper end of the vertical edge portion 11a, the inner end of the horizontal edge portion 11b in the vehicle width direction, and the portion of the edge of the notch portion 11 on the grille 12 side, with a predetermined gap between them, thereby forming a good gap (demarcation line) between the edge of the lamp garnish 40 and the edge of the member adjacent to the lamp garnish 40. 【0035】 After the lamp garnish 40 is attached to the front bumper 10, the front bumper 10 and the lamp garnish 40 are assembled together to the vehicle body structural member 20 from the front of the vehicle, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. At this time, the headlamp 30 is positioned adjacent to the edge of the lamp garnish 40 and the edge of the notch 11. 【0036】 The front bumper 10, to which the lamp garnish 40 is attached, is assembled and fixed to the vehicle body structural member 20 at multiple points (for example, the grille 12, side bumper 13, and lower bumper 15) via members such as holders. For example, a resin sensor support member 50 for supporting sensors such as millimeter-wave radar is pre-attached to the rear surface of the grille 12, and the front bumper 10 is fixed to the vehicle body structural member 20 at the grille 12 portion by fastening the sensor support member 50 to the hood lock member 24 with bolts or the like. Also, at the lower bumper 15 portion, the front bumper 10 is fixed to the vehicle body structural member 20 by fastening the lower bumper 15 to the bumper cross member 22 with bolts or the like. 【0037】 Referring to Figure 3, in this embodiment, the vehicle front structure 100 has a first holder H1 for holding the side bumper 13 and a second holder H2 for holding the lamp garnish 40. In the illustrated example, in addition to the first holder H1, the vehicle front structure 100 also has a third holder H3 for holding the side bumper 13. Each holder (H1, H2, H3) is mainly made of molded resin. 【0038】 The first holder H1 is fixed to the lower part of the front surface 31 of the headlamp 30 and is a member that holds the lateral edge portion 11b of the cutout portion 11 of the front bumper 10 (side bumper 13). The lower part of the front surface 31 of the headlamp 30 is recessed toward the rear of the vehicle in a shape that matches the shape of the first holder H1, and the first holder H1 is fixed to the recessed portion of the lower part of the front surface 31. At the portion of the lateral edge portion 11b of the side bumper 13, for example, the front bumper 10 is fixed to the vehicle body structural member 20 via the headlamp 30 by engaging a claw (not shown) formed on the rear surface of the lateral edge portion 11b with the first holder H1. 【0039】 The second holder H2 is fixed to the middle of the front surface 31 of the headlamp 30 in the vehicle's vertical direction and is a member that holds the lamp garnish 40. The second holder H2 is formed in a shape that matches the curved shape of the lamp garnish 40. A groove is formed in the middle of the front surface 31 of the headlamp 30 in the vehicle's vertical direction, recessed toward the rear of the vehicle and shaped to match the shape of the second holder H2, and the second holder H2 is fixed to the groove. When the front bumper 10 is assembled to the vehicle body structural member 20 together with the lamp garnish 40, the lamp garnish 40 is brought closer to the second holder H2. At this time, the lamp garnish 40 is held by the headlamp 30 by the engagement claws (not shown) formed on the rear surface of the lateral garnish portion 40A and the rear surface of the inner garnish portion 40B, respectively, engaging with the second holder H2. 【0040】 The third holder H3 is fixed to the front flange 28b of the fender panel 28 and is a member that holds the rear edge of the side bumper 13. The third holder H3 is fixed to the front flange 28b. The side bumper 13 has a rear flange 13b (see Figure 3 and Figure 6 described later) that protrudes inward in the vehicle width direction from the rear edge of the side bumper 13. The front bumper 10 is fixed to the vehicle body structural member 20 via the fender panel 28 by the rear flange 13b engaging with the first holder H1 or being fastened with bolts or the like at the rear edge of the side bumper 13. 【0041】 As described above, the front bumper 10 and the lamp garnish 40 are assembled together to the vehicle body structural member 20 via holders H1, H2, H3, etc. In this state, the upper lighting portion 31a of the headlamp 30 is positioned adjacent to the upper part of the front edge of the fender panel 28, the upper end of the side bumper 13, the side garnish portion 40A, and the portion of the edge of the notch 11 on the grille 12 side, with a predetermined gap between them, and a good gap (cutoff line) is formed between the edge of the upper lighting portion 31a and the edge of the member adjacent to the upper lighting portion 31a. The lower light section 31b is positioned adjacent to the vertical edge 11a and horizontal edge 11b of the side bumper 13, as well as the horizontal garnish section 40A and the inner garnish section 40B, with a predetermined gap between them, forming a good gap (demarcation line) between the edge of the lower light section 31b and the edge of the member adjacent to the lower light section 31b. In other words, around the headlamp 30, the grille 12, side bumper 13, fender panel 28, headlamp 30, and lamp garnish 40 are positioned with a good gap (demarcation line) between them. 【0042】 Next, the detailed structure of the outer mounting portion 18 will be described. Figure 6 is a diagram illustrating the direction of the force F acting around the outer mounting portion 18 when transporting the front bumper 10 to which the lamp garnish 40 is attached. Figure 7 is an enlarged perspective view of the portion including the outer mounting portion 18, Figure 8 is an exploded perspective view illustrating the structure of the outer mounting portion 18, and Figure 9 is a perspective view illustrating the structure of the outer end portion 40a of the garnish and the outer mounting portion 18. Note that in Figure 7, the outer shape of the lamp garnish 40 is shown by a dashed line. 【0043】 As shown in Figure 6, the front bumper 10, which consists of multiple components, is assembled as a single part, and the lamp garnish 40 is attached to the front bumper 10 via the outer mounting portion 18 and the inner mounting portion 19. The front bumper 10 with the lamp garnish 40 attached is then placed on the top surface of a workbench or the like with the front panel portion 10A facing downwards and temporarily stored. In this state, both ends of the front bumper 10 with the lamp garnish curve upward away from the mounting surface such as the top surface of a workbench, becoming free ends. When a worker or robot transports the front bumper 10 with the lamp garnish to the assembly line, for example, they handle the middle portion of the front bumper 10 in the longitudinal direction and lift it upwards. At this time, forces F acting on both ends of the front bumper 10 with the lamp garnish in the longitudinal direction, that is, the free end portions around the outer mounting portion 18, are due to the weight of the portion itself, as well as vibrations and shocks during transport. This force F acts in a direction that can elastically deform the free end portion outward and downward in the longitudinal direction, as shown by the arrow in Figure 6. Therefore, depending on the amount of elastic deformation of the free end portion, the engagement between the outer end portion 40a of the lamp garnish 40 and the outer mounting portion 18, which will be described later, may be released, and the outer end portion 40a of the garnish may detach from the outer mounting portion 18 and be removed. In this embodiment, the front vehicle structure 100 has the structure described in detail below, which prevents the outer end portion 40a of the garnish from detaching from the outer mounting portion 18. 【0044】 Referring to Figures 7 to 9, in this embodiment, the outer mounting portion 18 of the side bumper 13 has an outer mounting piece 181 and an outer engaging claw 182. In the illustrated example, the outer mounting portion 18 further has a first protruding portion 183 and an outer connecting wall 184. 【0045】 The outer mounting piece 181 has an outer mounting surface 181a facing the front of the vehicle. The outer mounting piece 181 is formed in a thin plate shape with a generally rectangular outer shape when viewed from the front of the vehicle. The outer engaging claw 182 protrudes forward from the outer mounting surface 181a. In the illustrated example, the vertical edge portion 11a of the side bumper 13 is formed in a flange shape that is bent inward in the vehicle width direction, and the first protruding portion 183 protrudes inward in the vehicle width direction, continuous with the upper end of the vertical edge portion 11a. The outer connecting wall 184 protrudes forward from the first protruding portion 183 and connects the first protruding portion 183 and the periphery of the outer mounting piece 181. As a result, the outer mounting piece 181 extends inward in the vehicle width direction at a position offset forward from the upper end of the vertical edge portion 11a of the side bumper 13. 【0046】 In this embodiment, the outer end portion 40a of the lamp garnish 40 has an outer contact portion 41. The outer contact portion 41 is a base portion having an outer contact surface 411 that contacts the outer mounting surface 181a of the outer mounting portion 18. The outer contact portion 41 has an outer engagement hole 412 into which the outer engagement claw 182 is inserted. In the illustrated example, the lateral garnish portion 40A, including the outer end portion 40a of the lamp garnish, has a front wall 40A1 facing the front of the vehicle, a lower wall 40A2 extending rearward from the lower edge of the front wall 40A1, an upper wall 40A3 extending rearward from the upper edge of the front wall 40A1, and an outer end wall 40A4 that constitutes the outer end of the lamp garnish 40 in the vehicle width direction, and extends longitudinally with a concave cross-sectional shape that is open to the rear of the vehicle. The outer contact portion 41 is positioned rearward from the rear surface of the front wall 40A1 and is provided to bridge the gap between the upper surface of the lower wall 40A2 and the upper wall 40A3. A gap is provided between the outer contact portion 41 and the outer end wall 40A4. The outer engagement hole 412 is opened so as to penetrate the outer contact portion 41 in the vehicle's longitudinal direction. The outer contact surface 411 is positioned forward in the vehicle's longitudinal direction relative to the rear end surface 40a1 of the garnish outer end portion 40a (the rear end surfaces of the lower wall 40A2, the upper wall 40A3, and the outer end wall 40A4). Therefore, with the outer contact surface 411 in contact with the outer mounting surface 181a of the garnish outer end portion 40a, most of the outer mounting portion 18, excluding the first protruding portion 183, is recessed into the lamp garnish 40. 【0047】 In this embodiment, the outer engaging claw 182 of the outer mounting portion 18 of the side bumper 13 has a projection 182a that protrudes inward in the vehicle width direction from the tip of the outer engaging claw 182. The projection 182a of the outer engaging claw 182 catches on the periphery of the outer engaging hole 412 in the outer contact portion 41. When the outer contact portion 41 of the lamp garnish 40 is brought close to the outer mounting portion 18 of the front bumper 10 from the front, and the outer engaging claw 182 is inserted into the outer engaging hole 412 from the rear, the outer end portion 40a of the garnish engages with the outer mounting portion 18 and is attached to the outer mounting portion 18. 【0048】 In this embodiment, the outer contact portion 41 of the outer end portion 40a of the garnish has an outer communication hole 413 that communicates with an outer through hole 181b that penetrates the outer mounting piece 181. In the illustrated example, the outer contact portion 41 has a base portion 414 that faces the rear surface of the front wall 40A1 and a cylindrical portion 415 that protrudes from the base portion 414 toward the rear of the vehicle. The outer communication hole 413 extends so as to penetrate the base portion 414 and the cylindrical portion 415 in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The outer contact surface 411 is formed by the rear end surface of the cylindrical portion 415. With the outer contact surface 411 in contact with the outer mounting surface 181a, a fastener S such as a screw is inserted from the rear of the outer mounting piece 181 into the outer through hole 181b and the outer communication hole 413, and screwed into the outer communication hole 413, thereby fastening the outer end portion 40a of the garnish to the outer mounting portion 18. In other words, the outer end portion 40a of the garnish is fastened to the outer mounting portion 18 via fasteners S that are inserted from the rear of the vehicle through the outer through hole 181b and the outer communication hole 413 of the outer mounting piece 181. 【0049】 In this embodiment, the outer end portion 40a of the garnish further has an upper pin 42. The upper pin 42 extends from the outer contact portion 41 toward the rear of the vehicle and is inserted into a pin insertion hole 181c formed in the outer mounting piece 181. In the illustrated example, the upper pin 42 is formed continuously with the upper rib 415a that extends upward from the cylindrical portion 415. With the outer contact surface 411 in contact with the outer mounting surface 181a, the upper pin 42 is inserted into the pin insertion hole 181c from the front of the outer mounting piece 181 and fitted into the pin insertion hole 181c, thereby determining the position of the outer end portion 40a of the garnish relative to the front bumper 10 (outer mounting portion 18). In the illustrated example, the upper pin 42 is formed in a tapered rectangular prism shape, and the pin insertion hole 181c is opened in a shape that matches the shape of the upper pin 42. 【0050】 In this embodiment, the outer through-hole 181b of the outer mounting portion 18 of the side bumper 13 is formed in the center of the outer mounting surface 181a of the outer mounting piece 181, and the outer engaging claw 182 and upper pin 42 are located above the outer through-hole 181b in the vehicle's vertical direction. Therefore, the outer engaging hole 412 and pin insertion hole 181c, which correspond to the outer engaging claw 182 and upper pin 42, are located above the outer through-hole 181b and outer communication hole 413 in the vehicle's vertical direction. 【0051】 In this embodiment, the outer mounting portion 18 of the side bumper 13 further includes a lower pin 185. The lower pin 185 extends forward from the outer mounting piece 181 and is located below the outer through hole 181b in the vertical direction of the vehicle. Therefore, the outer through hole 181b, which is the fastening point for the lamp garnish 40 to the outer mounting portion 18, is located between the upper pin 42 and the lower pin 185. 【0052】 The lower pin 185 consists of a pair of pin pieces 185a, 185a that are spaced apart from each other in the vehicle width direction. The pair of pin pieces 185a, 185a are members that clamp a part of the outer contact portion 41 of the lamp garnish 40. In the illustrated example, the pair of pin pieces 185a, 185a clamp the lower rib 415b that protrudes downward from the cylindrical portion 415 of the outer contact portion 41. 【0053】 In this embodiment, the outer end portion 40a of the garnish further has a contact rib 43. The contact rib 43 extends along the inner surface of the lower corner portion 40d of the outer end portion 40a of the garnish. Specifically, the contact rib 43 extends along the inner surface of the lower corner portion 40d where the lower wall 40A2 and the outer end wall 40A4 intersect at the outer end portion 40a of the garnish. The rear part of the contact rib 43 protrudes rearward from the rear end surface 40a1 of the outer end portion 40a of the garnish and abuts against the outer mounting portion 18. When the outer end portion 40a of the garnish is attached to the outer mounting portion 18, the contact rib 43 is located in the gap between the lower end of the outer mounting piece 181 of the outer mounting portion 18 and the lower wall 40A2, and the rear end of the contact rib 43 abuts against the front surface of the first protruding portion 183. At this time, there is a gap between the rear end surface 40a1 of the outer end portion 40a of the garnish and the first protruding portion 183 and the vertical edge portion 11a. In other words, the outer end portion 40a of the garnish is separated forward from the vertical edge portion 11a of the side bumper 13. 【0054】 Next, the detailed structure of the outer mounting portion 18 will be described with reference to Figures 4 and 10 to 13. Figure 10 is an enlarged perspective view of the portion including the inner mounting portion 19, Figure 11 is an enlarged perspective view of portion A in Figure 5, Figure 12 is a cross-sectional perspective view obtained by cutting around the inner mounting portion 19 along line BB in Figure 11, and Figure 13 is a cross-sectional perspective view obtained by cutting around the inner mounting portion 19 along line CC in Figure 11. Note that in Figure 10, the outer shape of the lamp garnish 40 is shown by a dashed line. 【0055】 Referring to Figures 4 and 10 to 13, in this embodiment, the lamp garnish 40 is attached to the inner mounting portion 19 with the upper end portion 16a of the grille side garnish 16 sandwiched between the inner end portion 40b of the garnish and the inner mounting portion 19, and is also engaged with the grille 12. 【0056】 Specifically, the inner mounting portion 19 of the side bumper 13 includes an inner mounting piece 191, an inner engaging claw 192, a second protruding portion 193, and an inner connecting wall 194. 【0057】 The inner mounting piece 191 has an inner mounting surface 191a facing the front of the vehicle and is formed in a thin plate shape with a generally rectangular outer shape when viewed from the front of the vehicle. In the illustrated example, the lateral edge portion 11b of the side bumper 13 is formed in a flange shape that is bent toward the rear of the vehicle, and the second protruding portion 193 extends generally inward in the vehicle width direction, continuous with the inner end of the lateral edge portion 11b in the vehicle width direction. The inner engaging claw 192 is formed to extend toward the rear of the vehicle by cutting out a part of the side wall of the groove portion 193a that is recessed toward the rear of the vehicle along the lateral edge portion 11b in the second protruding portion 193. The inner connecting wall 194 protrudes toward the front of the vehicle from the second protruding portion 193 and is connected to the periphery of the inner mounting piece 191. 【0058】 The inner end portion 40b of the garnish has an inner contact portion 44. In the illustrated example, the upper end portion 16a of the grille side garnish 16 is formed in a flange shape that extends to a position where it overlaps with the inner mounting piece 191 of the side bumper 13 from the front of the vehicle. The inner contact portion 44 is a base portion having an inner contact surface 441 that abuts against the front surface of the flange-shaped upper end portion 16a of the grille side garnish 16. The inner wall 40B1 (see Figure 13) of the inner garnish portion 40B, including the inner end portion 40b of the garnish, has an inner engagement hole (not shown) into which the inner engagement claw 192 engages. When the inner wall 40B1 is inserted into the groove portion 193a of the inner mounting portion 19, the inner engagement claw 192 engages with the inner engagement hole. 【0059】 The inner contact portion 44 has an inner communication hole 442 that communicates with an inner through hole that penetrates the inner mounting piece 191 and the flange-shaped upper end portion 16a of the grille side garnish 16. With the flange-shaped upper end portion 16a of the grille side garnish 16 sandwiched between the inner contact portion 44 of the garnish inner end portion 40b and the inner mounting piece 191 of the inner mounting portion 19, a fastener S such as a screw is inserted from behind the inner mounting piece 191 into the inner through hole and the inner communication hole 442 and screwed into the inner communication hole 442, thereby fastening the garnish inner end portion 40b to the inner mounting portion 19. 【0060】 Multiple inner engaging claws (not shown) are provided on the portion of the inner garnish portion 40B's outer wall 40B2 that overlaps with the grille 12. Each inner engaging claw of the inner garnish portion 40B engages with multiple grille engaging holes 12c (see Figure 4) formed in the grille 12. Therefore, the inner contact portion 44 of the lamp garnish 40 is attached to the front bumper 10 by fastening with fasteners S, engagement between the inner engaging holes and the inner engaging claws 192, and engagement between the inner engaging claws of the outer wall 40B2 and the grille engaging holes 12c. 【0061】 The vehicle front structure 100 according to this embodiment includes an outer mounting portion 18 to which the outer end portion 40a of the garnish is attached, extending from the upper end of the vertical edge portion 11a to a position behind the outer end portion 40a of the garnish, and an inner mounting portion 19 to which the inner end portion 40b of the garnish is attached, extending from the inner end in the vehicle width direction of the horizontal edge portion 11b to a position behind the inner end portion 40b of the garnish. Therefore, a worker or robot can attach the lamp garnish 40 to the front bumper 10, which has been pre-assembled as a single part, via the outer mounting portion 18 and the inner mounting portion 19. Since the lamp garnish 40 is a small part smaller than the front bumper 10, workers can easily attach the lamp garnish 40 to the front bumper 10 without damaging it by bringing the lamp garnish 40 close to the front bumper 10 with precision so as to cover the outer mounting portion 18 and the inner mounting portion 19 from the front side of the front bumper 10, and then fastening the lamp garnish 40 to the front bumper 10 by inserting fasteners S from, for example, the rear side of each mounting portion 18, 19. If the outer mounting portion were provided on the lamp garnish 40 instead of the front bumper 10, and extended from the outer end portion 40a of the garnish to near the upper end portion of the vertical edge portion 11a of the side panel portion 10B, then the outer mounting portion would naturally face outward in the vehicle width direction, and the insertion direction of fasteners S such as screws would be in the vehicle width direction, which would differ from the assembly direction (front-to-back direction) of the lamp garnish 40. On the other hand, in the front vehicle structure 100, the worker or robot can insert the fastener S and assemble the lamp garnish in the front-rear direction without intersecting them. Then, the worker or robot can efficiently assemble the front bumper 10 with the lamp garnish 40 attached to the vehicle body structural member 20 on the vehicle assembly line. 【0062】 As described above, the vehicle front structure 100 can improve assembly efficiency while preventing damage caused by contact between the lamp garnish 40 and the front bumper 10 during assembly. Furthermore, since the lamp garnish 40 is directly attached to the front bumper 10 (side bumper 13) via the outer mounting portion 18 and inner mounting portion 19 provided on the front bumper 10, a good gap (cutoff line) between the lamp garnish 40 and the front bumper 10 (side bumper 13) can be easily established. 【0063】 In this embodiment, in the front vehicle structure 100, the first holder H1 that holds the lateral edge portion 11b of the side bumper 13 of the front bumper 10 and the second holder H2 that holds the lamp garnish 40 are both fixed to the headlamp 30, which is the same component. As a result, a good gap (demarcation line) between the side bumper 13 and the headlamp 30 and a good gap (demarcation line) between the lamp garnish 40 and the headlamp 30 can be easily set, and a good appearance around the headlamp 30 can be easily provided. 【0064】 In this embodiment, the projection 182a of the outer engaging claw 182 of the outer mounting portion 18 protrudes inward in the vehicle width direction, that is, towards the longitudinal center of the front bumper 10. Here, during transportation during assembly, a force F (see Figure 6) can act on the longitudinal end of the front bumper 10 with the lamp garnish (the free end portion around the outer mounting portion 18) which can elastically deform the end outward and downward in the longitudinal direction. Even if the aforementioned elastic deformation occurs due to force F during transportation, since the projection 182a protrudes in the opposite direction to the force F, during elastic deformation, the projection 182a of the outer engaging claw 182 presses against the periphery of the outer engaging hole 412 and hooks more firmly. Therefore, the outer end 40a of the garnish is prevented from detaching from the outer mounting portion 18 during transportation. 【0065】 In this embodiment, an outer contact portion 41 of the outer end portion 40a of the garnish has an outer communication hole 413 that communicates with an outer through hole 181b that penetrates the outer mounting piece 181. The outer end portion 40a of the garnish is fastened to the outer mounting portion 18 via a fastener S inserted from the rear of the vehicle through the outer through hole 181b and the outer communication hole 413. The outer end portion 40a of the garnish is firmly fixed to the outer mounting portion 18, and the outer engaging claw 182 also functions as a positioning element when fastened by the fastener S. 【0066】 In this embodiment, the outer end portion 40a of the garnish has an upper pin 42 that extends from the outer contact portion 41 toward the rear of the vehicle and is inserted into the pin insertion hole 181c of the outer mounting piece 181. Therefore, the positioning of the outer end portion 40a of the garnish is made easier by the upper pin 42 and the outer engaging claw 182. In addition, the outer through hole 181b of the outer mounting portion 18 is formed in the center of the outer mounting surface 181a of the outer mounting piece 181, making it easier to fasten with the fastener S. Furthermore, the outer engaging claw 182 and the upper pin 42 are positioned above the outer through hole 181b in the vertical direction of the vehicle. Therefore, when transporting the front bumper 10 with the lamp garnish, the force F due to its own weight is easily applied to the upper part of the outer mounting portion 18, where the force F is easily applied. This force F is distributed to the outer engaging claw 182 and the upper pin 42 and reliably received, thus more reliably preventing the outer end portion 40a of the garnish from detaching. 【0067】 In this embodiment, the outer mounting portion 18 holds a part of the outer contact portion 41 of the lamp garnish 40 by a lower pin 185 consisting of a pair of pin pieces 185a, 185a spaced apart from each other in the vehicle width direction. The force F that can act on the lower portion of the outer mounting portion 18 tends to be smaller than the force F that can act on the upper portion of the outer mounting portion 18, but during transportation, the force F can also act on the lower portion of the outer mounting portion 18. In contrast, the component of the force F that is on the outer side in the vehicle width direction is reliably absorbed by the pair of pin pieces 185a, 185a, and the detachment of the outer end portion 40a of the garnish is further reliably prevented. 【0068】 In this embodiment, the rear portion of the contact rib 43 protrudes further rearward than the rear end surface 40a1 of the outer end portion 40a of the garnish and abuts against the outer mounting portion 18. Therefore, when the outer end portion 40a of the garnish is attached to the outer mounting portion 18, a gap can be created between the rear end surface 40a1 of the outer end portion 40a of the garnish and the first protruding portion 183 and the vertical edge portion 11a. As a result, the contact area between the garnish outer end portion 40a of the plated lamp garnish 40 and the side bumper 13 can be reduced. Therefore, even if the curved lamp garnish 40 vibrates together with the adjacent side bumper 13 due to vehicle body vibrations during driving, paint peeling and scraping near the design surface due to contact between adjacent lamp garnishes 40 and side bumpers 13 is effectively suppressed. Furthermore, paint peeling and scraping near the design surface during transportation during assembly are also effectively suppressed. 【0069】 In this embodiment, the lamp garnish 40 is attached to the inner mounting portion 19 with the upper end portion 16a of the grille side garnish 16 sandwiched between the inner end portion 40b of the garnish and the inner mounting portion 19, and is also engaged with the grille 12. Therefore, the lamp garnish 40 is engaged and fixed to the grille 12, the side bumper 13, and the grille side garnish 16. As a result, the rigidity of the lamp garnish 40 is increased, and even if a force F is applied during transport, the lamp garnish 40 is held stably on the front bumper 10 without bending. 【0070】 Although embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications and changes are possible based on the technical idea of the present invention. For example, in the embodiments described above, the front bumper 10 is made up of multiple members and assembled as a single part outside the assembly line, but it is not limited to this. The front bumper 10 may be an integrally molded product formed as a single part. In this case, the lamp garnish 40 is attached to the integrally molded front bumper 10, and then the front bumper 10 with the lamp garnish attached is assembled to the vehicle body structural member 20.
