Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a vehicle front body structure in which a parting line between the front end of a fender panel and the upper end of a bumper face is set on the outer lateral side of a headlamp unit in a vehicle width direction. [Background technology]

[0002] 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in vehicles such as automobiles, there is known a vehicle body structure in which a parting line between the front end of a fender panel and the upper end of a bumper face is set on the outer side in the vehicle width direction of a headlamp unit.

[0003] In this type of vehicle body structure, a part of the headlamp unit is generally fixed at the connection between the front end of the fender panel and the upper end of the bumper face.For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a technique in which a locking portion is provided on a bumper holder (flange) that is attached to the fender panel and locks the bumper face, and a mounting bracket provided on the lower end of the rear surface of the lamp housing on the outer side in the vehicle width direction is engaged with the locking portion from the inner side in the vehicle width direction using a screw. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2009-61996 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, the technology disclosed in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 fixes the lamp housing to the fender panel using a dedicated locking portion that serves as an attachment reference separate from the bumper face. Therefore, with the technology disclosed in Patent Document 1, the attachment direction of the bumper face and headlight relative to the fender panel is likely to shift due to thermal expansion, assembly errors, etc., and there is a risk that the unity of the appearance (design) will be lost.

[0006] Furthermore, in recent years, there has been a trend toward using fender panels made of aluminum alloys in order to reduce the weight of the vehicle body. It is more difficult to mold a curved surface of such an aluminum alloy fender panel than an iron fender panel. For this reason, in a vehicle body that uses an aluminum alloy fender panel, a measure is taken to form a desired design surface by inclining the parting line between the fender panel and the bumper face relative to the horizontal and extending the plastic bumper face upward (toward the fender) of the vehicle body. On the other hand, in a vehicle body structure in which the parting line between the fender panel and the bumper face is inclined, an assembly error between the bumper face and the headlights and the fender is particularly noticeable, and there is a risk that the unity of the design will be more significantly impaired.

[0007] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and has an object to provide a front vehicle body structure that can fix headlights and bumper faces to a fender panel without compromising the design unity. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] A vehicle front body structure according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a fender panel having a flange extending from a front end thereof, a headlamp arranged forward of the fender panel, a bumper face whose upper end is connected to the front end of the fender panel on the outer side of the headlamp in the vehicle width direction, a bracket interposed between the flange and the bumper face and fixing the upper end of the bumper face to the fender panel, a first lamp fixing hole and a second lamp fixing hole formed in the flange extending from the front end of the fender panel for fixing the headlamp to the flange, and a first bracket fixing hole and a second bracket fixing hole formed in the flange for fixing the bracket to the flange, wherein a first straight line connecting the first lamp fixing hole to the second lamp fixing hole and a second straight line connecting the first bracket fixing hole to the second bracket fixing hole are both parallel to the ridge line of the front end of the fender panel which forms a parting line between the ridge line of the upper end of the bumper face and the ridge line of the upper end of the bumper face. Effect of the Invention

[0009] According to the vehicle body front structure of the present invention, the headlights and the bumper face can be fixed to the fender panel without impairing the sense of unity in design. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0011] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The drawings relate to one embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a vehicle.

[0012] 1 includes left and right fender panels 5, left and right headlamps 6 arranged in front of each fender panel 5, a bumper face 7 whose upper end is connected to the front end of each fender panel 5 on the outer side of each headlamp 6 in the vehicle width direction, and an engine hood 8 arranged between the left and right fender panels 5, and the exterior shape (design surface) of the front part is configured by these. Note that since the vehicle body 2 has a basic configuration that is symmetrical on the left and right sides, the following description will be given taking as an example the configuration of the left side of the vehicle body 2 shown in Figs. 2 to 8.

[0013] The fender panel 5 is formed, for example, from an aluminum alloy sheet metal molding.

[0014] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, an upper portion of the fender panel 5 is fixed to a front side upper member 10 that constitutes the vehicle body frame by bolt fastening or the like (not shown).

[0015] Further, a recess 15 for receiving the rear end of the headlamp 6 is formed in the front portion of the fender panel 5 .

[0016] Furthermore, a flange 16 for fixing the headlamp 6 and bumper face 7 extends from the front end of the fender panel 5 adjacent to the outer side in the vehicle width direction of the recess 15. This flange 16 is formed by sequentially bending a metal plate extending from the front end of the fender panel 5 (the front end of the surface that constitutes the design surface) inward and forward of the vehicle body 2. By performing this bending formation, a linear ridgeline Lf that is inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to the horizontal direction is formed at the front end of the fender panel 5 when viewed from the side.

[0017] As shown in FIG. 4, the flange 16 is formed with a first lamp fixing hole 17 and a second lamp fixing hole 18 for fixing the headlamp 6, a first bracket fixing hole 19 and a second bracket fixing hole 20 for fixing a front side bracket 9 (described later) as a bracket, and a third bracket fixing hole 21 and a fourth bracket fixing hole 22 for temporarily fastening the front side bracket 9 (described later).

[0018] Furthermore, a nut 20 a is fixed to the rear surface of the flange 16 at a position corresponding to the second bracket fixing hole 20 .

[0019] As will be described later, not only the headlamp 6 but also the front side bracket 9 is fixed integrally to the second lamp fixing hole 18. That is, the second lamp fixing hole 18 also functions as a bracket fixing hole. Moreover, not only the front side bracket 9 but also the headlamp 6 is fixed integrally to the first bracket fixing hole 19. That is, the first bracket fixing hole 19 also functions as a lamp fixing hole.

[0020] The first lamp fixing hole 17 and the second lamp fixing hole 18 are, for example, formed of a round hole penetrating the flange 16 in the thickness direction. Here, the first lamp fixing hole 17 is formed at the end of a through groove 17a, one end of which is opened at the edge of the flange. Note that the through groove 17a is set to extend horizontally when the fender panel 5 is attached to the vehicle body 2.

[0021] These first and second lamp fixing holes 17, 18 are positioned on the flange 16 so that a first straight line L1 connecting the center of the first lamp fixing hole 17 and the center of the second lamp fixing hole 18 is parallel to the ridge line Lf of the front end of the fender panel 5.

[0022] The first bracket fixing hole 19 and the second bracket fixing hole 20 are formed, for example, by circular holes penetrating the flange 16 in the thickness direction.

[0023] These first and second bracket fixing holes 19, 20 are positioned on the flange 16 so that the second straight line L2 connecting the center of the first bracket fixing hole 19 and the center of the second bracket fixing hole 20 is parallel to the ridge line Lf of the front end of the fender panel 5.

[0024] The third bracket fixing hole 21 is formed, for example, by a square hole penetrating the flange 16 in the thickness direction.

[0025] This third bracket fixing hole 21 is, for example, a rectangular hole and has a surface (side wall) parallel to the ridge line Lf of the front end portion of the fender panel 5. In other words, the third bracket fixing hole 21 is arranged on the flange 16 so that a third straight line L3 along at least one of the sides constituting the opening of the third bracket fixing hole 21 is parallel to the ridge line Lf of the front end portion of the fender panel 5.

[0026] As described above, the first to fourth fixing holes 17 to 20 are arranged such that the first to third straight lines L1 to L3 are parallel to each other and also to the ridge line Lf.

[0027] The fourth bracket fixing hole 22 is formed, for example, by a round hole penetrating the flange 16 in the thickness direction.

[0028] The headlamp 6 is configured to include a lamp body 25 and a lens 26 that covers the front surface of the lamp body 25.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 2, the lamp body 25 has, for example, first to fifth lamp brackets 27 to 31 as brackets for fixing the headlamp 6 to the vehicle body 2.

[0030] The first lamp bracket 27 is, for example, a bracket for fixing the front part of the headlamp 6 to a radiator support member 33 constituting the vehicle body frame by bolting. For this purpose, the first lamp bracket 27 is provided with a bolt insertion hole 27a at a position corresponding to the bolt hole 33a provided in the radiator support member 33.

[0031] The second and third lamp brackets 28, 29 are brackets for fixing the middle upper portion and the rear upper portion of the headlamp 6 to a lamp support member 34 that connects the radiator support member 33 and the front side upper member 10 by bolting.

[0032] For this reason, the second and third lamp brackets 28, 29 are provided with bolt insertion holes 28a, 29a at positions corresponding to the bolt holes 34a, 34b provided in the lamp support member .

[0033] The fourth lamp bracket 30 is a bracket for fixing the upper rear portion of the headlamp 6 to the upper portion of the fender panel 5 by clipping.

[0034] For this reason, the fourth lamp bracket 30 is provided with a clip insertion hole 30a at a position corresponding to the clip hole 5a provided in the upper part of the fender panel 5.

[0035] The fifth lamp bracket 31 is a bracket for fixing the rear lower portion of the headlamp 6 to the first lamp fixing hole 17 and the second lamp fixing hole 18 provided in the flange 16 of the fender panel 5 .

[0036] For this reason, for example, the fifth lamp bracket 31 is provided with an engagement pin 37 that engages with the first lamp fixing hole 17 as shown in FIG.

[0037] The engagement pin 37 is formed, for example, by a cylindrical pin protruding from the fifth lamp bracket 31.

[0038] Furthermore, the fifth lamp bracket 31 is provided with a clip insertion hole 38 at a position corresponding to the second lamp fixing hole 18.

[0039] The clip insertion hole 38 is formed, for example, by a round hole penetrating the fourth lamp bracket 30 in the thickness direction.

[0040] Furthermore, in order to fix the headlamp 6 integrally with the front side bracket 9 to the flange 16 , the fifth lamp bracket 31 is provided with a bolt insertion hole 39 at a position corresponding to the first bracket fixing hole 19 .

[0041] The bolt insertion hole 39 is formed of a round hole penetrating in the thickness direction of the fifth lamp bracket 31. Furthermore, a nut 39a is fixed to the back surface of the fifth lamp bracket 31 at a position corresponding to the bolt insertion hole 39.

[0042] The bumper face 7 is made of, for example, a resin molded product. As shown in Fig. 2, recesses 45 for receiving the lower and front portions of the head lamps 6 are provided on the left and right upper portions of the bumper face 7.

[0043] In addition, the upper end of the bumper face 7 adjacent to the vehicle widthwise outer side of each recess 45 is formed in a straight line that is inclined at the same inclination angle as the front end of the fender panel 5 with respect to the horizontal direction when viewed from the side.

[0044] That is, the ridge line Lb at the upper end of the bumper face 7 is set to be inclined at the same inclination angle as the ridge line Lf at the front end of the fender panel 5 with respect to the horizontal direction when viewed from the side.

[0045] Furthermore, a mating surface 48 is formed at the upper end of the bumper face 7 to be mated with the front end of the fender panel 5. This mating surface 48 is formed by a flat surface that is bent inwardly of the bumper face 7 along the ridge line Lb.

[0046] A plurality of (for example, three) locking claw receivers 49 are provided on this mating surface 48. That is, each locking claw receiver 49 is provided on the mating surface 48 along the ridge line Lb of the upper end portion of the bumper face 7.

[0047] 6, the front side bracket 9 is formed, for example, from a plate-shaped resin molded product. This front side bracket 9 is a member that is interposed between the flange 16 and the bumper face 7 when the headlamp 6 and the bumper face 7 are attached to the flange 16 of the fender panel 5.

[0048] The front side bracket 9 is provided with a step portion 55 for supplementing the rigidity of the outer surface (design surface) of the bumper face 7.

[0049] Further, the front side bracket 9 is provided with an escape hole 57 at a position corresponding to the first lamp fixing hole 17 provided in the flange 16 of the fender panel 5 .

[0050] The escape hole 57 is configured, for example, by a long hole penetrating in the thickness direction of the front side bracket 9. The provision of the escape hole 57 prevents interference with the front side bracket 9 when the engagement pin 37 of the headlamp 6 is inserted into the first lamp fixing hole 17 through the through groove 17a.

[0051] Further, the front side bracket 9 is provided with a clip insertion hole 58 at a position corresponding to the second lamp fixing hole 18 provided in the flange 16 of the fender panel 5 .

[0052] The clip insertion hole 58 is formed, for example, by a round hole penetrating the front side bracket 9 in the thickness direction.

[0053] In addition, the front side bracket 9 is provided with a first bolt insertion hole 59 and a second bolt insertion hole 60 at positions corresponding to the first bracket fixing hole 19 and the second bracket fixing hole 20 provided in the flange 16 of the fender panel 5, and also at a position corresponding to the step portion 55.

[0054] These first and second bolt insertion holes 59, 60 are formed, for example, by round holes penetrating the front side bracket 9 in the thickness direction.

[0055] Additionally, the front side bracket 9 is provided with a locking protrusion 61 at a position corresponding to the third bracket fixing hole 21 provided in the flange 16 of the fender panel 5 .

[0056] The locking protrusion 61 is configured, for example, by a rectangular column-shaped protrusion protruding from the rear surface of the front side bracket 9. The locking protrusion 61 has a surface that comes into surface contact with at least a surface that is parallel to the ridge line Lf of the front end of the fender panel 5, among the surfaces formed in the third bracket fixing hole 21. The locking protrusion 61 is inserted and locked in a surface-contact state with the third bracket fixing hole 21 along the straight line L3, thereby temporarily fixing the front side bracket 9 to the flange 16 in a state where it is positioned with respect to the ridge line Lf of the front end of the fender panel 5.

[0057] More specifically, the locking protrusion 61 positions the front side bracket 9 with respect to the flange 16 so that the ridge line Lk (ridge line Lk of the step portion 55) on the fender panel 5 side of the front side bracket 9 corresponds to and is parallel to the ridge line Lf of the front end of the fender panel 5.

[0058] Furthermore, the front side bracket 9 is provided with a reference pin 62 at a position corresponding to the fourth bracket fixing hole 22 of the fender panel 5 .

[0059] This reference pin 62 is configured, for example, by a cylindrical protrusion protruding from the back surface of the front side bracket 9. This reference pin 62 is inserted into and engaged with the fourth bracket fixing hole 22, thereby temporarily fixing the front side bracket 9 to the flange 16 in a state in which the front side bracket 9 is positioned with respect to the fender panel 5.

[0060] Furthermore, the front side bracket 9 is provided with recesses 63 at positions along the ridge line Lk and corresponding to the locking claw receivers 49 of the bumper face 7. Each of these recesses 63 is provided with a locking claw 64 as a bumper fixing portion that can be locked to the locking claw receiver 49 of the bumper face 7. That is, each locking claw 64 is provided along the ridge line Lk that is parallel to the surface of the locking protrusion 61 that comes into surface contact with the third bracket fixing hole 21 along the third straight line L3.

[0061] Next, the process of assembling the members constituting the front portion of the vehicle body 2 will be described.

[0062] In this assembly process, first, as shown in FIG. 7, the front side bracket 9 is temporarily fixed to the flange 16 of the fender panel 5 which is attached to the front side upper member 10 and the like.

[0063] Specifically, the locking protrusion 61 provided on the front side bracket 9 is inserted into the third bracket fixing hole 21 provided in the flange 16. In addition, the reference pin 62 provided on the front side bracket 9 is inserted into the fourth bracket fixing hole 22 provided in the flange 16. As a result, the front side bracket 9 is temporarily fixed to the flange 16.

[0064] At this time, the locking claw 61 comes into surface contact with the surface that constitutes the third bracket fixing hole 21 and that is parallel to the ridge line Lf of the front end portion of the fender panel 5, thereby positioning the front side bracket 9 relative to the fender panel 5.

[0065] Specifically, an escape hole 57 and a clip insertion hole 58 of the front side bracket 9 are positioned at positions corresponding to the first and second lamp fixing holes 17 and 18 of the flange 16. Also, first and second bolt insertion holes 59 and 60 of the front side bracket 9 are positioned at positions corresponding to the first and second bracket fixing holes 19 and 20 of the flange 16. Furthermore, the front side bracket 9 is positioned so that the ridge line Lk of the front side bracket 9 is parallel to the ridge line Lf of the fender panel 5.

[0066] Next, the headlamp 6 is fixed to the flange 16 of the fender panel 5 .

[0067] Specifically, an engagement pin 37 provided on a fifth lamp bracket 31 provided on the headlamp 6 is inserted from the open end of the through groove 17a into the first lamp fixing hole 17. This allows the headlamp 6 to be positioned relative to the fender panel 5.

[0068] Then, first to third lamp brackets 27 to 29 provided on the headlamp 6 are bolted to the upper portions of the radiator support member 33 and the lamp support member 34, respectively (see FIG. 3).

[0069] Further, a fourth lamp bracket 30 provided on the headlamp 6 is clipped to the upper part of the fender panel 5 (see FIG. 3).

[0070] Additionally, a clip 65 serving as a fixing member is inserted through the clip insertion hole 58 provided in the front side bracket 9, the second lamp fixing hole 18 provided in the flange 16 of the fender panel 5, and the clip insertion hole 38 provided in the fifth lamp bracket 31. As a result, the front side bracket 9, the flange 16 of the fender panel 5, and the fifth lamp bracket 31 are fixed together (fastened with a clip).

[0071] Additionally, a bolt 66 serving as a fixing member is inserted through a first bolt insertion hole 59 provided in the front side bracket 9, a first bracket fixing hole 19 provided in the flange 16 of the fender panel 5, and a bolt insertion hole 39 provided in the fifth lamp bracket 31, and is fastened to a nut 39a provided in the fifth lamp bracket 31. As a result, the front side bracket 9, the flange 16 of the fender panel 5, and the fifth lamp bracket 31 are fixed together (bolted).

[0072] Furthermore, a bolt 67 serving as a fixing member is inserted through a second bolt insertion hole 60 provided in the front side bracket 9 and a second bracket fixing hole 20 provided in the flange 16 of the fender panel 5, and is fastened to a nut 20a provided on the flange 16. As a result, the front side bracket 9 and the flange 16 of the fender panel 5 are fixed (bolted).

[0073] Furthermore, by these clip fastening and bolt fastening, the front side bracket 9, which is temporarily secured by the engagement between the bracket fixing hole 21 and the locking protrusion 61 and the engagement between the fourth bracket fixing hole 22 and the reference pin 62, and the headlamp 6, which is temporarily secured by the engagement between the first lamp fixing hole 17 and the engagement pin 37, are positioned and fixed with greater precision relative to the flange 16 of the fender panel 5.

[0074] In this case, the second lamp fixing hole 18 also fixes the front side bracket 9 integrally with the headlamp 6 by clipping. Also, the first bracket fixing hole 19 also fixes the headlamp 6 integrally with the front side bracket 9 by bolting. Therefore, the relative positions of the headlamp 6 and the front side bracket 9 can be determined with high precision.

[0075] Next, the bumper face 7 is fixed to the flange 16 of the fender panel 5 .

[0076] Specifically, the locking claw receivers 49 of the bumper face 7 are locked to the locking claws 64 of the front side bracket 9. That is, the upper end of the bumper face 7 is fixed along the ridge line Lk of the front side bracket 9.

[0077] At this time, the front side bracket 9 is positioned and fixed with high precision to the flange 16 of the fender panel 5, and the ridge line Lk of the front side bracket 9 is parallel with high precision to the ridge line Lf of the fender panel 5. Therefore, the ridge line Lb of the upper end of the bumper face 7, which is attached along the ridge line Lk of the front side bracket 9, is positioned with high precision so as to be parallel to the ridge line Lf of the fender panel 5.

[0078] According to this embodiment, a first lamp fixing hole 17 and a second lamp fixing hole 18 for fixing a headlamp 6, and a first bracket fixing hole 19 and a second bracket fixing hole 20 for fixing a front side bracket 9 are provided on a flange 16 extending from a front end of the fender panel 5, and the first and second lamp fixing holes 17, 18 and the first and second bracket fixing holes 19, 20 are arranged on the flange 16 so that a first straight line L1 connecting the first lamp fixing hole 17 to the second lamp fixing hole 18 and a second straight line L2 connecting the first bracket fixing hole 19 to the second bracket fixing hole 20 are both parallel to a ridge line Lf of the front end of the fender panel that forms a parting line between the ridge line of the upper end of the bumper face 7 and the ridge line of the front end of the fender panel. This makes it possible to fix the headlamp 6 and the bumper face 7 to the fender panel 5 without compromising the unity of the design.

[0079] That is, the headlamp 6 is fixed to the fender panel 5, and the front side bracket 9 for fixing the bumper face 7 to the fender panel 5 is fixed to the fender panel 5 at two or more points based on the ridge line Lf at the front end of the fender panel 5. Therefore, the headlamp 6 and the bumper face 7 can be assembled to the fender panel 5 so that the relative assembly positions of the fender panel 5, the headlamp 6, and the bumper face 7 are appropriate. In particular, the bumper face 7 can be assembled to the fender panel 5 so that the ridge line Lf at the front end of the fender panel 5 and the ridge line Lb at the upper end of the bumper face 7 are precisely parallel, and the appearance of the parting line formed between these ridge lines Lf and Lb can be improved.

[0080] In addition, the straight line connecting the first and second lamp fixing holes 17, 18 for fixing the headlamp 6 to the fender panel 5 and the first and second bracket fixing holes 19, 20 for fixing the front side bracket 9 to the fender panel 5 are both set to be parallel to the ridge line Lf at the front end of the fender panel 5. Therefore, even if misalignment occurs in the members constituting the front part of the vehicle body 2 due to assembly errors, thermal expansion, or the like, the main direction of such misalignment can be limited to the extension direction of the ridge line Lf or a direction parallel to the ridge line Lf, and the relative positional relationship between the fender panel 5, the headlamp 6, and the bumper face 7 can be favorably maintained.

[0081] By forming third bracket fixing hole 21 for temporarily fixing front side bracket 9 to flange 16 as a rectangular hole and setting at least one of the faces constituting third bracket fixing hole 21 to be parallel to ridge line Lf of the front end portion of fender panel 5, the temporary fixing accuracy of front side bracket 9 can be improved and the assembly accuracy of front side bracket 9 to fender panel 5 can be ensured.

[0082] Furthermore, by fixing the headlamp 6 integrally to the front side bracket 9 with a clip 65 inserted into the second lamp fixing hole 18 when assembling the headlamp 6 to the fender panel 5, and fixing the headlamp 6 integrally to the front side bracket 9 with a bolt 66 inserted into the first bracket fixing hole 19 when assembling the front side bracket 9 to the fender panel 5, the relative position of the headlamp 6 and the front side bracket 9 before assembling the bumper face 7 to the fender panel 5 can be made more accurate. Therefore, the relative position of the headlamp 6 and the bumper face 7 fixed to the front side bracket 9 can be made more accurate.

[0083] Furthermore, by locating the first lamp fixing hole 17 at the end of the through groove 17a, one end of which is opened at the edge of the flange 16, good assembly performance can be ensured when assembling the headlamp 6 to the fender panel 5 by engaging the engagement pin 37 with the first lamp fixing hole 17.

[0084] The invention described in the above embodiment is not limited to the embodiment, and various modifications can be made in the implementation stage without departing from the gist of the invention. Furthermore, the above embodiment includes inventions at various stages, and various inventions can be extracted by appropriate combinations of the disclosed constituent elements.

[0085] For example, if the problem described can be solved and the effect described can be obtained even if some of the constituent elements are deleted from all the constituent elements shown in the above embodiment, the configuration from which these constituent elements are deleted can be extracted as an invention.
