[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2019-69747 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] A garnish is sometimes attached to the rear end of the side tailgate. It is desirable that the garnish is not easily damaged even if a load acts on the garnish from the rear of the vehicle during a rear-end collision, etc. In order to prevent the garnish from being damaged, it is possible to attach a reinforcing member to the garnish separately, to increase the thickness of the garnish, or to increase the rigidity of the garnish itself. However, in this case, the cost and weight increase, and the productivity deteriorates.
[0005] One object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle with a cargo bed that can suppress damage to a garnish attached to the rear end of a side gate with a simple configuration even if a load acts on the garnish from the rear of the vehicle. [Means for solving the problem]
[0006] A vehicle with a loading platform according to one aspect of the present invention includes: Side gates provided on both sides of a loading platform of a vehicle; A bracket attached to a rear end portion of the side gate; a garnish attached to at least one of the side panel and the bracket so as to cover the bracket; The garnish includes a first member and a second member, The first member is provided facing an area extending from an inner surface to a rear end surface of the side gate, The second member is provided facing an area extending from an outer surface of the side gate to the rear end surface, each of the first member and the second member includes an overlapping portion facing each other in a front-rear direction of the vehicle; The overlapping portion is disposed adjacent to or in contact with the rear of the bracket. Effect of the Invention
[0007] In the vehicle with a cargo bed of the present invention, the garnish includes an overlapping portion formed by a first member and a second member. The rigidity of the overlapping portion is improved. The overlapping portion is disposed in close proximity to or in contact with the rear of the vehicle of a bracket attached to the rear end of the side gate. When a load acts on the garnish from the rear of the vehicle, the overlapping portion abuts against the bracket. The overlapping portion abuts against the bracket, thereby alleviating the load acting on the garnish and suppressing damage to the garnish. The overlapping portion is configured such that the first member and the second member extending from the left and right in the vehicle width direction, respectively, face each other in the front-rear direction of the vehicle. When a load acts on the garnish from the rear of the vehicle, the first member and the second member can be displaced left and right in the vehicle width direction so that their overlapping portions move away from each other. This displacement of the first member and the second member also alleviates the load acting on the garnish and suppresses damage to the garnish.
[0008] In the vehicle with a loading platform of the present invention, an overlapping portion is formed between the first member and the second member in the garnish, and the overlapping portion is located at a specific position, thereby suppressing damage to the garnish. Therefore, in the vehicle with a loading platform of the present invention, the components of an existing garnish can be used with simple modifications, and an increase in cost, a large increase in weight, and a decrease in productivity are suppressed.

The fixing portion 92 is not shown in FIG. 2.
[0020] <Upper bracket> As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the upper bracket 6 is a plate-like piece extending in the vehicle longitudinal direction. The upper bracket 6 in this example is made of a steel plate. The upper bracket 6 in this example is bent so that the cross section perpendicular to the vehicle longitudinal direction is substantially L-shaped. The upper bracket 6 in this example has a vertical surface and a horizontal surface. The vertical surface is along the reinforcement 33. The vertical surface is attached to the upper edge of the reinforcement 33. The vertical surface in this example is T-shaped when viewed from the vehicle width direction. The vertical surface in this example is fixed to the reinforcement 33 by welding. The horizontal surface extends from the vertical surface toward the outside in the vehicle width direction. A through hole (not shown) is provided in the horizontal surface. A fixing portion 95 shown in Fig. 3 is attached to this through hole. The fixing portion 95 is not shown in Fig. 2. The fixing portion 95 will be described later.
[0021] <Garnish> As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the garnish 7 is disposed at the rear end 30 of the side door 3 so as to cover the rear bracket 5 and the upper bracket 6. The garnish 7 is attached to at least one of the side door 3 and the rear bracket 5. The garnish 7 in this example is attached to both the side door 3 and the rear bracket 5. The garnish 7 in this example is further attached to the upper bracket 6.
[0022] As shown in Figures 2 to 4, the garnish 7 includes a first member 71 and a second member 72. The garnish 7 in this example is made up of two members, the first member 71 and the second member 72. The first member 71 and the second member 72 are separate members made of the same material. The first member 71 and the second member 72 in this example are made of resin.
[0023] <First component> The first member 71 covers the rear end portion 30 of the side gate 3 from the inside of the vehicle. As shown in FIG. 2, the first member 71 has a side portion 711, a rear portion 712, and an upper portion 713. The side portion 711 is a portion that generally covers the inner surface 36 (FIG. 4) of the side gate 3. The rear portion 712 is a portion that generally covers the rear end surface 35 (FIG. 4) of the side gate 3. The upper portion 713 is a portion that generally covers the upper surface of the side gate 3. The first member 71 is provided facing an area extending from the inner surface 36 to the rear end surface 35 of the side gate 3, an area extending from the rear end surface 35 to the upper surface, and an area extending from the upper surface to the inner surface 36. In this example, the corner portion formed by the rear portion 712 and the upper portion 713 is formed by an inclined surface.
[0024] The first member 71 is attached to the side gate 3 , the rear bracket 5 , and the upper bracket 6 .
[0025] The first member 71 is attached to the side gate 3 by a fixing portion 94 shown in FIG. 3. The fixing portion 94 is a fastening member such as a screw. A through hole (not shown) is provided at an appropriate position on the side portion 711 of the first member 71. In this example, one through hole is provided at the front edge portion of the side portion 711, and two through holes are provided at a distance in the front-rear direction at the lower edge portion of the side portion 711. Through holes (not shown) are also provided at locations of the inner panel 31 (FIG. 4) facing the above-mentioned through holes. The fixing portion 94 shown in FIG. 3 is arranged in the through hole of the first member 71 and the through hole of the inner panel 31.
[0026] The first member 71 is attached to the rear bracket 5 by a fixing portion 91 shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4. The fixing portion 91 is, for example, a resin clip. As shown in FIG. 4, the fixing portion 91 in this example has an insertion portion on the tip side and an end piece portion on the base end side. The insertion portion has a spindle shape. The base end side of the insertion portion is fitted into the through hole 51h (FIG. 3). The end piece portion has a disk shape. An annular groove is formed on the outer periphery between the insertion portion and the end piece portion. As shown in FIG. 4, a first locking portion 715a and a protrusion 716 are provided on the inner surface on the rear edge side of the side portion 711 of the first member 71. The first locking portion 715a and the protrusion 716 are provided corresponding to the through hole 51h (FIG. 3) provided in the rear bracket 5. The first locking portion 715a protrudes from the inner surface of the side portion 711, and the tip portion is bent forward. The tip of the bent portion of the first locking portion 715a has, for example, a concave notch. The tip fits into the groove of the fixing portion 91 arranged in the through hole 51h (FIG. 3). The tip of the protrusion 716 is close to or in contact with the end piece of the fixing portion 91 arranged in the through hole 51h (FIG. 3). The first locking portion 715a and the protrusion 716 are configured to make the fixing portion 91 less likely to fall off from the through hole 51h (FIG. 3).
[0027] As shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 4, a second locking portion 715b may be provided on the inner surface of the side portion 711. The second locking portion 715b is provided to face the first locking portion 715a in the front-rear direction. The second locking portion 715b protrudes from the inner surface of the side portion 711, and the tip portion is bent toward the rear. The tip portion of the bent portion of the second locking portion 715b has, for example, a concave notch. The tip portion fits into the groove of the fixing portion 91 arranged in the through hole 51h (FIG. 3). By providing the second locking portion 715b in addition to the first locking portion 715a, the fixing portion 91 is more unlikely to fall off from the through hole 51h (FIG. 3). In this example, of the two fixing portions 91 shown in FIG. 2, the first locking portion 715a is fitted into the fixing portion 91 located at the upper side, and both the first locking portion 715a and the second locking portion 715b are fitted into the fixing portion 91 located at the lower side.
[0028] The first member 71 is integrally formed with the second member 72 by a fixing portion 95 shown in FIG. 3. The fixing portion 95 is a fastening member such as a screw. A through hole 713h is provided in the upper portion 713 of the first member 71 as shown in FIG. 2. A through hole 723h is also provided in the upper portion 723 of the second member 72 as shown in FIG. 3. When the upper portions 713 and 723 are overlapped, the through hole 713h and the through hole 723h are aligned. A fixing portion 95 passes through the through hole 713h and the through hole 723h. The first member 71 and the second member 72 are fixed to each other by the fixing portion 95.
[0029] The first member 71, together with the second member 72, is attached to the upper bracket 6 by the fixing parts 95. In this example, the first member 71 and the second member 72 are fixed to each other in the front-to-rear direction of the vehicle by two fixing parts 95. Of the two fixing parts 95, the fixing part 95 located at the rear of the vehicle passes through a through hole provided in the upper bracket 6. Of the two fixing parts 95, the fixing part 95 located at the front of the vehicle is fastened to the pole 8.
[0030] As shown in Fig. 4, the rear portion 712 of the first member 71 has a rear overlapping portion 718 that faces the rear portion 722 of the second member 72 in the front-rear direction of the vehicle. In this example, the rear overlapping portion 718 is located inside the second member 72. By having the rear overlapping portion 718 located inside the second member 72, the boundary between the first member 71 and the second member 72 is difficult to see from the side of the vehicle, resulting in a good appearance. The rear overlapping portion 718 is provided over the entire length of the first member 71 in the vertical direction of the vehicle. It is preferable that the rear overlapping portion 718 has a certain length in the vehicle width direction, for example, 1 cm or more.
[0031] The rear overlapping portion 718 is disposed close to or in contact with the rear of the vehicle of the rear bracket 5. Specifically, when the garnish 7 is seen through from the rear of the vehicle, the rear overlapping portion 718 is disposed so as to overlap with the rear end face of the rear bracket 5. In this example, the rear overlapping portion 718 is disposed so as to have a slight space between it and the rear bracket 5. By having the space, it is easy to ensure a deformation allowance for the garnish 7 when a load acts on the garnish 7 from the rear of the vehicle.
[0032] As shown in FIG. 2, the upper portion 713 of the first member 71 has an upper overlapping portion 719 facing an upper portion 723 (FIG. 3) of the second member 72 in the vertical direction of the vehicle. In this example, the upper overlapping portion 719 is located inside the second member 72. By having the upper overlapping portion 719 located inside the second member 72, the boundary between the first member 71 and the second member 72 is difficult to see from the side of the vehicle, which improves the appearance. The upper overlapping portion 719 is provided over the entire length of the first member 71 in the front-rear direction of the vehicle. It is preferable that the upper overlapping portion 719 has a certain length in the vehicle width direction, for example, 1 cm or more.
[0033] The upper overlapping portion 719 is disposed in close proximity to or in contact with the upper portion of the upper bracket 6 above the vehicle. Specifically, when the garnish 7 is seen through from above the vehicle, the upper overlapping portion 719 is disposed so as to overlap with the upper surface of the upper bracket 6, in this case the horizontal plane. The upper overlapping portion 719 may be disposed so as to have a small space between it and the upper bracket 6.
[0034] <Second Component> The second member 72 covers the rear end 30 of the side gate 3 from the outside of the vehicle. As shown in FIG. 3, the second member 72 has a side portion 721, a rear portion 722, and an upper portion 723. The side portion 721 is a portion that generally covers the outer surface 37 (FIG. 4) of the side gate 3. The rear portion 722 is a portion that generally covers the rear end surface 35 (FIG. 4) of the side gate 3. The upper portion 723 is a portion that generally covers the upper surface of the side gate 3. The second member 72 is provided facing an area extending from the outer surface 37 to the rear end surface 35 of the side gate 3, an area extending from the rear end surface 35 to the upper surface, and an area extending from the upper surface to the outer surface 37. In this example, the corner formed by the rear portion 722 and the upper portion 723 is formed by an inclined surface.
[0035] The second member 72 is attached to the rear bracket 5 by a fixing portion 92 shown in FIG. 3. The fixing portion 92 is, for example, a resin clip similar to the fixing portion 91 described above. Although not shown, a locking portion similar to the first locking portion 715a or the second locking portion 715b and a protrusion similar to the protrusion 716 are provided on the inner surface of the rear edge side of the side portion 721 of the second member 72. The locking portion is fitted into a part of the fixing portion 92 (FIG. 3) arranged in the through hole 51h (FIG. 2) of the rear bracket 5. In this example, of the two fixing portions 92 shown in FIG. 3, the fixing portion 92 located at the upper position is fitted with a locking portion similar to the first locking portion 715a, and the fixing portion 92 located at the lower position is fitted with both a locking portion similar to the first locking portion 715a and a locking portion similar to the second locking portion 715b. The tip of the protrusion is close to or in contact with the end face of the fixing portion 92 (FIG. 3) arranged in the through hole 51h (FIG. 2). The locking portion and the protrusion are configured so that the fixing portion 92 is unlikely to fall off from the through hole 51h (FIG. 2).
[0036] As described above, the second member 72 is configured integrally with the first member 71 by the fixing portion 95 and is attached to the upper bracket 6.
[0037] 4, the rear portion 722 of the second member 72 includes a rear overlapping portion 728 that faces the rear portion 712 of the first member 71 in the front-rear direction of the vehicle. In this example, the rear overlapping portion 728 is located outside the first member 71. The rear overlapping portion 728 may be disposed such that the rear overlapping portion 718 of the first member 71 is on the outside and the rear overlapping portion 728 of the second member 72 is on the inside. The rear overlapping portion 728 is provided over the entire length of the second member 72 in the vertical direction of the vehicle. The rear overlapping portion 728 has a certain length in the vehicle width direction, for example, 1 cm or more.
[0038] The rear overlapping portion 728 is disposed in close proximity to or in contact with the vehicle rear of the rear bracket 5. Specifically, when the garnish 7 is seen through from the rear of the vehicle, the rear overlapping portion 728 is disposed so as to overlap with the rear end surface of the rear bracket 5.
[0039] As shown in Fig. 3, the upper part 723 of the second member 72 has an upper overlapping portion 729 facing the upper part 713 (Fig. 2) of the first member 71 in the vertical direction of the vehicle. In this example, the upper overlapping portion 729 is located outside the first member 71. The upper overlapping portion 729 may be disposed so that the upper overlapping portion 719 of the first member 71 is on the outer side and the upper overlapping portion 729 of the second member 72 is on the inner side. The upper overlapping portion 729 is provided over the entire length of the second member 72 in the front-rear direction of the vehicle. The upper overlapping portion 729 has a certain length in the vehicle width direction, for example, 1 cm or more.
[0040] The upper overlapping portion 729 is disposed in close proximity to or in contact with the vehicle upper portion of the upper bracket 6. Specifically, when the garnish 7 is seen through from above the vehicle, the upper overlapping portion 729 is disposed so as to overlap with the upper surface of the upper bracket 6, in this case, the horizontal plane.
[0041] <Operation of the embodiment> In the vehicle 1 of the embodiment, when a load acts on the garnish 7 from the rear of the vehicle, the rear overlapping portions 718, 728 between the rear portion 712 of the first member 71 and the rear portion 722 of the second member 72 first receive the load. The load causes the rear overlapping portions 718, 728 to abut against the rear bracket 5. The load may also cause the first member 71 and the second member 72 to be displaced in the vehicle width direction such that the rear overlapping portions 718, 728 move apart. The load acting on the garnish 7 is alleviated by the rear overlapping portions 718, 728 abutting against the rear bracket 5 and the first member 71 and the second member 72 being displaced in the vehicle width direction.
[0042] In the vehicle 1 of the embodiment, when a load acts on the garnish 7 from above the vehicle, the upper overlapping portions 719, 729 between the upper portion 713 of the first member 71 and the upper portion 723 of the second member 72 first receive the load. The upper overlapping portions 719, 729 abut against the upper bracket 6 due to the load. The first member 71 and the second member 72 may also be displaced in the vehicle width direction due to the load such that the upper overlapping portions 719, 729 move apart. The upper overlapping portions 719, 729 abut against the upper bracket 6, and the first member 71 and the second member 72 are further displaced in the vehicle width direction, thereby alleviating the load acting on the garnish 7.
[0043] <Effects of the embodiment> In the embodiment of the vehicle 1, when a load acts on the garnish 7 from the rear of the vehicle during a rear collision, etc., the load is mitigated at the rear overlap portions 718, 728 between the rear portion 712 of the first member 71 and the rear portion 722 of the second member 72, thereby preventing damage to the garnish 7.
[0044] In the vehicle 1 of the embodiment, when a load is applied to the garnish 7 from above the vehicle by people, luggage, etc., the load is mitigated at upper overlapping portions 719, 729 between an upper portion 713 of the first member 71 and an upper portion 723 of the second member 72, thereby preventing damage to the garnish 7. In particular, since the upper overlapping portions 719, 729 are fixed to the pole 8 by the fixing portion 95, deformation of the garnish 7 due to the load is easily prevented.
[0045] In the vehicle 1 of the embodiment, an overlapping portion is formed on the garnish 7 by the first member 71 and the second member 72, and the position of the overlapping portion is set to a specific position, so that damage to the garnish 7 can be suppressed with a simple configuration.
[0046] In the vehicle 1 of the embodiment, the first member 71 and the second member 72 are attached to the rear bracket 5, so that the garnish 7 is assembled to the rear end portion 30 of the side panel 3 with high accuracy. Therefore, the garnish 7 has a good appearance and is of high quality.
[0047] The vehicle 1 of the embodiment has high productivity because the garnish 7 is made of two members, the first member 71 and the second member 72. For example, compared to when the garnish 7 is made of a single member, the mold for producing the garnish 7 can be adjusted to the respective sizes of the first member 71 and the second member 72, and the mold can be made smaller. The small size of the mold for producing the garnish 7 improves releasability from the mold.
