Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a vehicle front structure. [Background technology]
[0002] Conventionally, in a vehicle front structure in which a front bumper having a bumper fascia, which is an exterior component, and an upper panel covering the top of the bumper fascia is arranged forward of the vehicle hood, a structure has been proposed in which an impact absorbing member for pedestrian protection is provided below the upper panel.
[0003] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a structure in which an impact absorbing member is disposed behind the bumper fascia of the front bumper and below the upper panel, and the upper panel is connected via the impact absorbing member to the upper panel of a radiator panel, which is a highly rigid part of the vehicle body. By providing the impact absorbing member, when a thigh collides with the upper panel from diagonally above in front of the vehicle, or when a head collides with the front end of the hood from diagonally above in front of the vehicle, the impact absorbing member deforms and absorbs energy, thereby reducing the impact on the pedestrian. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2014-069591 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0005] According to the above structure, the impact of a collision can be reduced by deforming the impact absorbing member in response to a collision load input from diagonally above and in front of the vehicle, but the above structure leaves room for improvement as it does not address the issue of ensuring rigidity so as to prevent deformation even when loads are input individually from multiple directions, such as from the front and above the vehicle.
[0006] Specifically, in vehicles with large body sizes, such as SUVs (Sport Utility Vehicles) that have a relatively high ground clearance, the height from the ground to the top of the hood is high, and the pedestrian's thighs collide with the vehicle from the front at an almost perpendicular angle, so improvements are needed to the impact absorption structure to absorb the energy of the collision load in the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle.
[0007] On the other hand, when it comes to supporting the front bumper in the vertical direction of the vehicle, in addition to supporting the weight of the front bumper, the upper panel is expected to be subjected to a downward load, such as when a worker places their weight on the upper panel from above the vehicle when opening the hood to perform maintenance inside the engine compartment. In this case, the impact absorbing member is required to have a certain level of rigidity to withstand the downward load in order to prevent the front bumper from shifting downward. However, simply using a highly rigid material for the impact absorbing member may hinder longitudinal deformation of the vehicle in the event of a vehicle collision and the associated energy absorption.
[0008] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and aims to provide a vehicle front structure that can prevent the front bumper from shifting downward while also ensuring impact absorption in the event of a vehicle collision. [Means for solving the problem]
[0009] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the vehicle front structure of the present invention includes a front bumper having a bumper fascia provided on the front side of the vehicle and an upper panel provided above the bumper fascia, and a shroud member located rearward of the front bumper in the vehicle longitudinal direction. ,car a bumper support member disposed between the front bumper and the shroud member in both the front-rear direction and configured to support the front bumper below the upper panel, the bumper fascia has a bumper fascia main body portion extending in the vehicle width direction, and an upper plate portion extending in the vehicle width direction at a position spaced above the bumper fascia main body portion, The bumper support member ,car It extends in both front and rear directions. by carThe vehicle has a plurality of vertical wall portions arranged at intervals in the width direction, and the vertical wall portions have a bent portion that bends in the vehicle width direction. and a receiving surface provided on an upper edge of the vertical wall portion, and the upper plate portion is configured to rest on the receiving surface. It is characterized by:
[0010] According to this configuration, the bumper support member, which supports the front bumper and bears its weight, is disposed below the upper panel between the front bumper and the shroud member located rearward thereof. The bumper support member has a plurality of vertical wall portions extending in the vehicle front-rear direction and spaced apart from one another in the vehicle width direction. Each vertical wall portion has a bent portion that bends toward the vehicle width direction. In this structure, each of the vertical wall portions is upright and has a bent portion that bends toward the vehicle width direction, thereby increasing rigidity in the up-down direction. Therefore, not only can the weight of the front bumper be supported by the upper edges of the vertical wall portions, but also, even if an additional downward load is applied to the front bumper by a vehicle user or the like standing on the upper panel of the front bumper during vehicle maintenance, deformation of the bumper support member can be prevented, and as a result, downward displacement of the front bumper can be prevented.
[0011] Furthermore, since the vertical wall portions have the bent portions, their rigidity in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle is reduced. Therefore, in the event of a vehicle collision, when the bumper support member receives a collision load from the front of the vehicle, the vertical wall portions can easily deform starting from the bent portions, and the vertical wall portions of the bumper support member can absorb the impact. Therefore, the above structure can prevent the front bumper from shifting downward and ensure impact absorption in the event of a vehicle collision.
[0012] In the vehicle front structure, the bumper support member is preferably configured to form a polygonal opening including the plurality of vertical wall portions in a plan view.
[0013] With this configuration, the polygonal opening formed by the multiple vertical walls forms a closed cross section that penetrates in the vertical direction, which further increases the vertical rigidity and improves the effectiveness of preventing the front bumper from shifting downward. Moreover, the polygonal opening easily deforms from the corners of the polygon when subjected to a collision load from the front of the vehicle, ensuring an impact absorption effect.
[0014] In the vehicle front structure, the opening preferably has a hexagonal shape.
[0015] With this configuration, the hexagonal opening can prevent the front bumper from shifting downward while also ensuring impact absorption in the event of a vehicle collision. Moreover, the hexagonal opening makes it easy to design and manufacture the bumper support member.
[0016] In the above-mentioned vehicle front structure, it is preferable that the shroud member has a main body portion extending in the vehicle width direction and a support portion protruding from the main body portion toward the front of the vehicle, and that the bumper support member is supported from below by the support portion of the shroud member.
[0017] With this configuration, the bumper support member is supported from below by the support portion of the shroud member. Therefore, the downward load from the front bumper is transmitted to the vehicle body via the bumper support member and the support portion of the shroud member and can be borne by the vehicle body. As a result, the front bumper can be stably supported.
[0018] In the above vehicle front structure, the bumper support member preferably has an opposing surface that abuts against or is close to the support portion of the shroud member from the front side of the vehicle.
[0019] With this configuration, when the bumper support member is subjected to a collision load from the front of the vehicle, the opposing surface of the bumper support member is pressed against the support portion of the shroud member, allowing the support portion to apply a reaction force in the forward direction of the vehicle to the bumper support member, thereby reliably deforming the bumper support member and absorbing the energy.
[0020] In the above-mentioned vehicle front structure, it is preferable that the vehicle further includes a front grille having higher rigidity than the bumper fascia, an opening is formed in an area including the center of the bumper fascia in the vehicle width direction, the front grille is provided in the opening, and the bumper support member is positioned on the rear side of the vehicle relative to the front grille.
[0021] With this configuration, in the event of a vehicle collision, the collision load is input from the highly rigid front grille to the bumper support member in a concentrated manner, allowing the bumper support member to absorb a greater amount of energy. [Effects of the Invention]
[0022] According to the vehicle front structure of the present invention, it is possible to prevent the front bumper from shifting downward and to ensure impact absorption in the event of a vehicle collision. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0024] A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] As shown in FIG. 1, the front structure of vehicle 20 includes, on the outside of vehicle 20, a front bumper 1 equipped with a bumper fascia 2 and an upper panel 3, located on the vehicle forward side X1 of the hood 4, and a front grille 5 provided in an area including the center of the front of the vehicle in the vehicle width direction Y.
[0026] 2 and 3, the front structure of the vehicle 20 includes, inside the vehicle 20, a shroud member 6 extending in the vehicle width direction Y, a connecting member 7 that connects the shroud member 6 to a vehicle body frame (not shown), a bumper beam 8 that extends in the vehicle width direction Y on the rear side X2 of the bumper fascia 2, and a pair of left and right front side frames 9 that support the bumper beam 8 from the vehicle rear side X2. The shroud member 6 is a member that constitutes the upper part of a shroud, which is a frame that surrounds a radiator and a fan (not shown) housed in an engine compartment below the hood 4 of the vehicle 20.
[0027] 2 to 3 and 5 to 9, the vehicle front structure further includes a bumper support member 10 that supports the front bumper 1 inside the vehicle 20. The bumper support member 10 is disposed on the vehicle rear side X2 with respect to the front grille 5.
[0028] Each part of the vehicle front structure will now be described in more detail.
[0029] 2 to 4, the front bumper 1 includes a bumper fascia 2 provided on the front of the vehicle 20, an upper panel 3 provided above the bumper fascia 2 (Z1), and a center bracket 11 that supports the upper panel 3 from below (Z2). The bumper fascia 2 and the upper panel 3 are exterior components that are visible from outside the vehicle and are made of synthetic resin or the like. The center bracket 11 is located in a hidden position below the upper panel 3 and is made of a material such as steel that is more rigid than the upper panel 3.
[0030] Specifically, as shown in Fig. 4, the bumper fascia 2 includes a main body portion 2a extending in the vehicle width direction Y, a plate-shaped upper plate portion 2b extending in the vehicle width direction Y at a spaced position above the main body portion 2a Z1, and a pair of connecting portions 2c connecting both ends of the upper plate portion 2b to both ends of the main body portion 2a. A substantially rectangular opening 2d is formed by the main body portion 2a, the upper plate portion 2b, and the pair of connecting portions 2c. The opening 2d is formed in a range that includes the center of the bumper fascia 2 in the vehicle width direction Y. A front grille 5 (see Figs. 1 to 3) is attached to the opening 2d.
[0031] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the front grille 5 is a member having a large number of ventilation holes for introducing air from outside the vehicle in front of the vehicle X1 into the vehicle, and is made of a metal material or the like, and is more rigid than the bumper fascia 2.
[0032] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the upper panel 3 is stacked on the front portion of the center bracket 11 in the up-down direction Z, and is supported from below Z2 by the center bracket 11.
[0033] As shown in Figures 2 to 3 and Figures 5 to 9, the bumper support member 10 is arranged between the front bumper 1 and the shroud member 6 in the vehicle fore-and-aft direction X, and is configured to support the front bumper 1 on the lower side Z2 of the upper panel 3 so as to receive the weight of the front bumper 1.
[0034] Specifically, as shown in Fig. 5, the bumper support member 10 includes a main body portion 10a and an attachment portion 10b provided on the vehicle rear side X2 of the main body portion 10a. The bumper support member 10 has an opposing surface 10c at an end on the front side X1 that faces the front grille 5 (see Figs. 2-3 and 7). The distance between the opposing surface 10c and the front grille 5 is set to allow the front grille 5 to collide with the opposing surface 10c in the event of a vehicle collision.
[0035] The main body 10a has a plurality of vertical wall portions 10d that extend in the vehicle longitudinal direction X in an upright position and are spaced apart from one another in the vehicle width direction Y, and a connecting wall 10e that extends in the vehicle width direction Y and connects the plurality of vertical wall portions 10d.
[0036] The vertical wall portion 10d has a receiving surface 10d1 at the upper edge of the vertical wall portion 10d that receives the weight of the front bumper 1. As will be described later, an upper plate portion 2b (see FIGS. 3-4 and 6-7) of the bumper fascia 2 rests on the receiving surface 10d1.
[0037] 5, the vertical wall portion 10d has a bent portion 10d2 that is bent (or curved) in a direction that convexly extends outward in the vehicle width direction Y of the bumper support member 10. In this embodiment, the bent portion 10d2 is bent at the same angle as the interior angle of the hexagon (120 degrees), but may be curved.
[0038] The bumper support member 10 is configured to form a polygonal opening 10g including a plurality of vertical wall portions 10d in a plan view. In other words, the plurality of vertical wall portions 10d are configured to form a plurality of polygonal openings 10g in a plan view. In this embodiment, the opening 10g at the center of the main body portion 10a in the vehicle width direction Y has a hexagonal shape. A plurality of hexagonal openings 10g (specifically, two) are arranged side by side in the vehicle front-rear direction X. In addition, openings 10h bent in a dogleg shape are formed on both sides of the hexagonal opening 10g in the vehicle width direction Y.
[0039] 6-7 and 9, an upper plate portion 2b (see FIGS. 3-4, 6-7, and 9) of the bumper fascia 2 is placed on the upper surface (specifically, the upper surface constituted by the plurality of receiving surfaces 10d1) of the main body portion 10a of the bumper support member 10. As shown in FIGS. 6-7 and 9, the upper plate portion 2b is attached to the main body portion 10a by threading a screw 12 into a screw hole 10f1 of a boss 10f of the main body portion 10a.
[0040] As shown in FIG. 9, a notch 2b1 is formed in the end of the upper plate portion 2b on the rear side X2, and the mounting portion 10b of the bumper support member 10 is exposed above Z1 the upper plate portion 2b through the notch 2b1.
[0041] 5, the mounting portion 10b is formed with rivet holes 10b1 for mounting the center bracket 11. As a result, the rear side X2 portion of the center bracket 11 is fastened with rivets 15 at the locations of the rivet holes 10b1 (see FIG. 5) of the mounting portion 10b of the bumper support member 10, as shown in FIG. 6. Furthermore, the rear end portion of the center bracket 11 is fixed to the main body portion 13 (see FIG. 7) of the shroud member 6 with rivets or the like.
[0042] 7 to 9, in this embodiment, the shroud member 6 has a main body portion 13 extending in the vehicle width direction Y, and a support portion 14 protruding from the main body portion 13 toward the front of the vehicle. In this embodiment, the support portion 14 is manufactured separately from the main body portion 13 and then fixed to the main body portion 13 by welding or the like (see spot welded portion 16 in FIG. 9). Note that the support portion 14 may also be molded integrally with the main body portion 13.
[0043] On the other hand, as shown in Figures 5, 8 and 9, the bumper support member 10 has a supported surface 10j facing downward Z2. The bumper support member 10 is supported from below Z2 by the support portion 14 of the shroud member 6 at the location of the supported surface 10j facing downward Z2. In other words, the bumper support member 10 rests on the support portion 14 with the supported surface 10j abutting against the upper surface 14a of the support portion 14. This allows the shroud member 6 on the vehicle body side to bear the downward load from the front bumper 1 (i.e., the weight of the front bumper 1 and the additional load when a person stands on the upper panel 3).
[0044] 5 and 8-9, the bumper support member 10 has an opposing surface 10k that abuts against or is close to the support portion 14 of the shroud member 6 from the vehicle front side X1. The opposing surface 10k may be disposed at a position where it abuts against the support portion 14, or may be disposed at a position where it is close to the support portion 14 with a predetermined gap therebetween.
[0045] (Features of this embodiment) (1) As shown in Figures 1 to 9, the vehicle front structure of this embodiment includes a front bumper 1 having a bumper fascia 2 provided on the front of a vehicle 20 and an upper panel 3 provided above Z1 the bumper fascia 2, a shroud member 6 located on the rear side X2 of the front bumper 1 in the vehicle fore-and-aft direction X, and a bumper support member 10 disposed between the front bumper 1 and the shroud member 6 in the vehicle fore-and-aft direction X and supporting the front bumper 1 on the lower side Z2 of the upper panel 3 so as to receive the weight of the front bumper 1.
[0046] In other words, the bumper support member 10, which supports the front bumper 1 and bears the weight of the front bumper 1, is disposed on the lower side Z2 of the upper panel 3 between the front bumper 1 and the shroud member 6 on the rear side X2 thereof.
[0047] 5, the bumper support member 10 has a plurality of vertical wall portions 10d extending in the vehicle longitudinal direction X and arranged at intervals in the vehicle width direction Y. Each vertical wall portion 10d has a bent portion 10d2 that bends toward the vehicle width direction Y.
[0048] In this structure, each of the multiple vertical wall portions 10d is upright and has a bent portion 10d2 that bends toward the vehicle width direction Y, thereby increasing rigidity in the up-down direction Z. Therefore, not only can the weight of the front bumper 1 be supported by the support surfaces 10d1 at the upper edges of the multiple vertical wall portions 10d, but also deformation of the bumper support member 10 can be prevented even when an additional downward load F2 (see FIG. 2) is applied to the front bumper 1 by a vehicle user or the like standing on the upper panel 3 of the front bumper 1 during vehicle maintenance, etc., and as a result, it is possible to prevent the front bumper 1 from shifting downward Z2.
[0049] Moreover, since the plurality of vertical wall portions 10d have the bent portions 10d2, the rigidity in the vehicle front-rear direction X is low. Therefore, in the event of a vehicle collision, when the bumper support member 10 receives a collision load F1 (see FIG. 2) from the front side X1 of the vehicle, the plurality of vertical wall portions 10d can easily deform from the bent portions 10d2 as starting points, and the impact can be absorbed by the plurality of vertical wall portions 10d of the bumper support member 10. Therefore, the above structure can prevent the front bumper 1 from shifting downward Z2 while also ensuring impact absorption in the event of a vehicle collision.
[0050] (2) In the vehicle front structure of this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 5, the bumper support member 10 is configured to form a polygonal opening 10g that includes a plurality of vertical wall portions 10d in a plan view. With this configuration, the polygonal opening 10g formed by the plurality of vertical wall portions 10d forms a closed cross section that penetrates in the up-down direction Z, thereby further increasing rigidity in the up-down direction Z and improving the effect of preventing the front bumper 1 from shifting downward Z2. Moreover, the polygonal opening 10g easily deforms from the corners of the polygon when subjected to a collision load from the front side X1 of the vehicle, thereby ensuring an impact absorption effect.
[0051] (3) In the vehicle front structure of this embodiment, the opening 10g has a hexagonal shape, as shown in Fig. 5. With this configuration, the hexagonal opening 10g can prevent the front bumper 1 from shifting downward Z2 while also ensuring impact absorption in the event of a vehicle collision at a higher level. Moreover, the hexagonal opening 10g makes it easy to design and manufacture the bumper support member 10.
[0052] (4) In the vehicle front structure of this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, the shroud member 6 has a main body portion 13 extending in the vehicle width direction Y, and a support portion 14 protruding from the main body portion 13 toward the vehicle front direction X1.
[0053] The bumper support member 10 has a downward Z2-facing supported surface 10j (see FIGS. 5, 8 and 9). The bumper support member 10 is supported from below Z2 by a support portion 14 of the shroud member 6 at the downward Z2-facing supported surface 10j.
[0054] According to this configuration, the bumper support member 10 is supported from below Z2 by the support portions 14 of the shroud member 6 at the portions of the supported surfaces 10j facing downward Z2. Therefore, the downward load from the front bumper 1 is transmitted to the vehicle body (specifically, the vehicle body frame (not shown) to which the shroud member 6 in FIG. 1 is connected via the connecting members 7) via the bumper support member 10 and the support portions 14 of the shroud member 6, and can be received by the vehicle body. As a result, the front bumper 1 can be stably supported.
[0055] (5) In the vehicle front structure of this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 5, 8 and 9, the bumper support member 10 has an opposing surface 10k that abuts against or comes close to the support portion 14 of the shroud member 6 facing the vehicle front side X1.
[0056] According to this configuration, when the bumper support member 10 receives a collision load from the front of the vehicle, the opposing surface 10k of the bumper support member 10 is pressed against the support portion 14 of the shroud member 6, and this makes it possible to apply a reaction force in the vehicle front direction X1 from the support portion 14 to the bumper support member 10. This makes it possible to reliably deform the bumper support member 10 and absorb energy.
[0057] (6) As shown in FIG. 1, the vehicle front structure of this embodiment further includes a front grille 5 that is more rigid than the bumper fascia 2. An opening 2d (see FIGS. 2 and 4) is formed in an area including the center of the bumper fascia 2 in the vehicle width direction Y. The front grille 5 is provided in the opening 2d. As shown in FIG. 7, the bumper support member 10 is disposed on the vehicle rear side X2 with respect to the front grille 5.
[0058] With this configuration, in the event of a vehicle collision, the collision load is input from the highly rigid front grille 5 to the bumper support member 10 in a concentrated manner, so that the bumper support member 10 can absorb a greater amount of energy.
[0059] (Variation) In the above embodiment, the multiple vertical wall portions 10d of the bumper support member 10 form openings 10g that are hexagonal in plan view, but the present invention is not limited to this and may be configured to form openings 10g of other polygonal shapes.
[0060] As a modified example of the present invention, for example, the opening 10g may be a pentagonal shape as shown in Fig. 10 or a diamond shape as shown in Fig. 11. In these modified examples of Figs. 10 to 11, openings 10h curved in a dogleg shape may be formed on both sides of the polygonal opening 10g. In these modified examples of Figs. 10 to 11, a closed cross section penetrating in the vertical direction Z is formed, which further increases the rigidity in the vertical direction Z, thereby improving the effect of preventing the front bumper 1 from shifting downward Z2. Moreover, the polygonal opening 10g easily deforms from the corners of the polygon when subjected to a collision load from the front of the vehicle X1, thereby ensuring an impact absorption effect.
