Embodiment 1
As shown in fig. 1, the automobile includes a front pillar lower 11, a front pillar upper 12, a center pillar 13, and a rear pillar 14, wherein the front pillar upper 12 extends rearward and upward from an upper end of the front pillar lower 11, and a roof side rail 15 extending rearward from an upper end of the front pillar upper 12 is connected to an upper end of the center pillar 13 and an upper end of the rear pillar 14. A front door 16 as a frameless door is provided in a door opening defined by the front pillar lower 11, the front pillar upper 12, the front half of the roof side rail 15, and the center pillar 13, and a rear door 17 as a frameless door is provided in a door opening defined by the center pillar 13, the rear half of the roof side rail 15, and the rear pillar 14. The left and right front pillar upper members 12 are connected to each other by a windshield 18, and the left and right roof side rails 15 are connected to each other by a roof glass 19.
The vehicle-widthwise outer surfaces of the front pillar upper 12 and the roof side rail 15 are covered with an integrally formed long pillar outer garnish 20. The pillar outer garnish 20 is formed of a front pillar portion 20A covering the front pillar upper 12 and a roof side rail portion 20B covering the roof side rail 15, and is bent into an "ヘ" shape at the boundary therebetween. The cross section of the front pillar portion 20A (see fig. 2) is similar to the cross section of the roof side rail portion 20B (see fig. 3), but the details are different.
As shown in fig. 1 to 3, the pillar outer garnish 20 made of a thermosetting resin reinforced with glass fibers is manufactured by, for example, the SMC method, and has a constant arc-shaped cross section from the front end to the rear end thereof, and the wall thickness thereof gradually decreases from the vehicle width direction inner end toward the vehicle width direction outer end. At the front pillar portion 20A along the front pillar upper 12, the vehicle width direction inner end of the pillar outer garnish 20 faces the windshield 18, and the vehicle width direction outer end faces the door glass 21 of the front door 16. On the other hand, at a roof side rail portion 20B along the roof side rail 15, the vehicle width direction inner end of the pillar outer garnish 20 faces the roof glass 19, and the vehicle width direction outer end faces the door glass 21 of the front door 16 or the door glass 22 of the rear door 17.
As shown in fig. 2, 3, and 7, the metal retainer 23 for attaching the pillar outer 20 to the front pillar upper 12 and the roof side rail 15 is a long member having an コ -shaped cross section with an upper wall 23a, a bottom wall 23b, and a lower wall 23c, and the upper wall 23a is fixed to the outer end of the pillar outer 20 in the vehicle width direction using an adhesive 24.
Further, a plurality of bolt holes are formed in the bottom wall 23b of the holder 23, and 1 bolt hole located in a bent portion at the boundary between the front pillar upper 12 and the roof side rail 15 is a circular hole 23d as a reference hole, and the other bolt holes are long holes 23e that are long in the front-rear direction. The retainer 23 is fastened to the front pillar upper 12 and the roof side rail 15 by bolts 25 penetrating the circular holes 23d and the elongated holes 23 e.
As shown in fig. 1 and 6, a flange 20a is provided at the front end of the pillar outer 20 in a protruding manner, a bolt hole 20b having a larger diameter than the circular hole 23d and the elongated hole 23e of the retainer 23 is formed in the flange 20a, and the front end of the pillar outer 20 is fastened to the lower end of the front pillar upper 12 by a bolt 26 penetrating the bolt hole 20 b. An end wall 20c is provided at the rear end of the pillar outer 20, and the rear end of the pillar outer 20 is fastened to the rear end of the roof side rail 15 by a bolt 27 that penetrates a bolt hole 20d formed in the end wall 20 c. At this time, the bolt 27 includes a cylindrical guide portion 27c longer than the wall thickness of the end wall 20c between the head portion 27a and the shaft portion 27b, and the guide portion 27c is fitted into the bolt hole 20d of the pillar outer 20 so as to be slidable back and forth.
As shown in fig. 2 to 4, a door glass seal rubber 28 is provided inside the retainer 23 bonded to the pillar outer 20, and a door glass seal rubber 29 is provided at the vehicle width direction outer ends of the front pillar upper 12 and the roof side rail 15, and the door glass seal rubbers 28, 29 are brought into contact with the upper ends of the door glasses 21, 22 of the front door 16 and the rear door 17 to perform a sealing function.
The front pillar portion 20A of the pillar outer 20 is fixed to the retainer 23 not only by the adhesive 24 but also to the front pillar upper 12 by a planar buckle 30 disposed at a position further inward in the vehicle width direction than the adhesive 24 (see fig. 2).
The pillar outer 20 is formed by applying a foam seal 31 in a linear shape along the vehicle width direction inner side of the retainer 23, and sealing a gap between the front pillar upper 12 and the roof side rail 15 with the foam seal 31. As a result, a drainage passage 32 is formed between the retainer 23 and the foam seal 31 along the longitudinal direction of the pillar outer garnish 20, and the drainage passage 32 communicates with the outside at the drainage ports 33, 34 at the front and rear ends.
The outer edges of the windshield 18 and the roof glass 19 in the vehicle width direction are fixed to the front pillar upper 12 or the roof side rail 15 with an adhesive 35. At this time, the adhesive 35 is sealed by the rubber seal 36, and is prevented from leaking out to the transparent portion in the center of the windshield 18 and the roof glass 19.
The seal rubber member 37 having a Y-shaped cross section provided at the vehicle width direction inner end of the pillar garnish 20 includes a 2 nd lip portion 37a, and a fixing portion 37b and a 1 st lip portion 37c branching off from the 2 nd lip portion 37a, the fixing portion 37b is bonded to the pillar garnish 20 with an adhesive 38, and the 1 st lip portion 37c and the 2 nd lip portion 37a are in contact with the windshield 18 or the roof glass 19.
Further, the roof side rail portion 20B (see fig. 3 and 5) of the pillar outer 20, a plurality of glass holding members 39 formed of a metal plate bent in a crank shape are bonded to the vicinity of the seal rubber member 37 of the pillar outer 20 with an adhesive 40, and a lid 41 formed of a synthetic resin into a U-shaped cross section is fitted to the tip ends of these glass holding members 39. On the other hand, a plurality of guide members 42 formed of a metal plate bent in an L-shape are bonded to the vehicle width direction outer end of the roof glass 19 fitted between the seal rubber member 37 and the cover 41 of the pillar outer garnish 20 using an adhesive 43. The longitudinal length W2 of the glass holding member 39 and the cover 41 is set shorter than the longitudinal length W1 of the guide member 42.
As shown in fig. 1, a camera 44 for imaging the vehicle body rear side is provided at a front upper portion of the vehicle width direction outer surface of the front door 16.
Next, the operation of the embodiment of the present invention having the above-described configuration will be described.
Since the retainer 23 for retaining the door glass seal rubber 28 in contact with the door glasses 21 and 22 of the front door 16 and the rear door 17 is bonded along the outer edge in the vehicle width direction of the long pillar outer 20 covering the front pillar upper 12 and the roof side rail 15, and the retainer 23 is fastened to the front pillar upper 12 and the roof side rail 15 by the bolt 25, the long pillar outer 20 can be easily and reliably fixed to the front pillar upper 12 and the roof side rail 15. In this case, the pillar outer 20 is joined to the front pillar upper 12 by the planar clip 30 in addition to the bolt 25, so that the fixing strength of the pillar outer 20 can be further improved, and the air resistance can be reduced by reducing the difference in level between the windshield 18 and the pillar outer 20.
Further, by reinforcing the rigidity of the long pillar outer 20 with the rigidity of the retainer 23, the pillar outer 20 can be made thinner and lighter, and the door glass seal rubber 28 can be reliably supported by the retainer 23, thereby improving the sealing performance of the pillar outer 20. In particular, since the pillar exterior 20 is made of synthetic resin and the metal holder 23 is bonded to the pillar exterior 20, it is possible to achieve further weight reduction, improvement in productivity, and improvement in the degree of freedom in design, as compared with the case where both the pillar exterior 20 and the holder 23 are made of metal.
In addition, when the long pillar exterior 20 is made of synthetic resin, dimensional errors during manufacturing and thermal expansion and contraction due to temperature changes cannot be ignored, the retainer 23 bonded integrally with the pillar outer garnish 20 is formed with a circular hole 23d at a position corresponding to the bent portion of the boundary between the front pillar upper 12 and the roof side rail 15, and long holes 23e that are long in the front-rear direction are formed at positions corresponding to the front pillar upper 12 and the roof side rail 15, therefore, the pillar outer garnish 20 can be positioned with high accuracy with respect to the front pillar upper 12 and the roof side rail 15, and at the same time, even if the length of the pillar outer garnish 20 including the retainer 23 changes due to dimensional errors or thermal expansion/contraction, the change in length can be absorbed by the gap between the bolt 25 and the elongated hole 23e, and the pillar outer garnish 20 can be reliably fixed.
Further, the influence of dimensional errors during the manufacture of the pillar outer garnish 20 and thermal expansion/thermal contraction due to temperature changes is significant at the front end of the bent portion of the front pillar upper 12 that is away from the boundary with the roof side rail 15, but the front end of the outer garnish 20 is fastened to the lower end of the front pillar upper 12 by a bolt 26 that passes through a bolt hole 20b having a larger diameter than the circular hole 23d and the elongated hole 23e of the retainer 23, and therefore even if the length of the pillar outer garnish 20 changes due to dimensional errors and thermal expansion/thermal contraction, it is possible to absorb the change in length and prevent the pillar outer garnish 20 from floating upward.
Further, the rear end of the pillar outer 20 is fastened to the rear end of the roof side rail 15 by the bolt 27 arranged in the front-rear direction, but since the bolt hole 20d of the pillar outer 20 and the cylindrical guide portion 27c of the bolt 27 formed between the head portion 27a and the shaft portion 27b are slidably fitted in the front-rear direction, even if the length of the pillar outer 20 changes due to dimensional errors, thermal expansion, and thermal contraction, the change in the length can be absorbed, and the pillar outer 20 is prevented from floating upward.
Further, since the pillar outer 20 gradually decreases in thickness from the inner edge toward the outer edge in the vehicle width direction, the air flow from the windshield 18 to the door glass 21 of the front door 16 becomes smooth and the air resistance decreases, and particularly in rainy weather, it is difficult for rain drops to adhere to the windshield 18, and the field of vision can be improved. Further, since the pillar outer 20 is made of thermosetting resin reinforced with glass fiber, the thermal expansion coefficient of the pillar outer 20 can be minimized, and the thermal expansion can be easily handled.
Further, in order to assemble the pillar outer 20 to the roof glass 19, the outer end portion in the vehicle width direction of the roof glass 19 needs to be fitted into a space between the seal rubber member 37 and the glass holding member 39 provided at the inner end in the vehicle width direction of the pillar outer 20, but since the guide member 42 having an L-shaped cross section is provided at the outer end portion in the vehicle width direction of the roof glass 19, the assembly work can be smoothly performed, and the edge portion of the roof glass 19 can be prevented from being cracked.
At this time, since the cover 41 that abuts the guide member 42 is fitted to the vehicle width direction inner end of the glass holding member 39, the pillar outer 20 can be reliably fixed to the roof glass 19. Further, since the longitudinal length W2 of the glass holding member 39 is shorter than the longitudinal length W1 of the guide member 42, it is not necessary to strictly position the pillar outer 20 with respect to the roof glass 19, and the assembly operation of the pillar outer 20 is facilitated.
Further, since the seal rubber member 37 that seals between the windshield 18 and the roof glass 19 is fixed to the vehicle width direction inner edge of the pillar outer 20, and the seal rubber member 37 has the 1 st lip portion 37c that extends from the vehicle width direction inner side to the vehicle width direction outer side and abuts against the windshield 18 and the roof glass 19, when the pillar outer 20 is assembled to the windshield 18 and the roof glass 19, the assembly can be smoothly performed with the 1 st lip portion 37c as a guide portion, and the 1 st lip portion 37c is disposed so as not to increase the difference in level between the windshield 18 and the roof glass 19 and the pillar outer 20, so that the air resistance is reduced.
In particular, since the camera 44 for imaging the vehicle rear side is provided on the vehicle width direction outer surface of the front door 16, air can be smoothly flowed from the windshield 18 to the door glass 21, raindrops are less likely to adhere to the camera 44, and the imaging performance of the camera 44 can be ensured.
Further, the seal rubber member 37 has a Y-shaped cross section that branches from the 2 nd lip 37a into the fixing portion 37b and the 1 st lip 37c, the fixing portion 37b is bonded to the pillar garnish 20, and the 1 st lip 37c and the 2 nd lip 37a are in contact with the windshield 18 and the roof glass 19, so that the 2 nd lip 37a can be pressed against the windshield 18 and the roof glass 19 by the reaction force received by the 1 st lip 37c pressed against the windshield and the roof glass 19, and the sealing performance of the seal rubber member 37 can be improved.
Further, in the pillar outer 20, the space between the front pillar upper 12 and the roof side rail 15 is sealed by the foamed seal 31 disposed along the door glass seal rubber 28, and the drain passages 32 defined between the door glass seal rubber 28 and the foamed seal 31 have the drain ports 33, 34 at the front end of the front pillar upper 12 and the rear end of the roof side rail 15, so that not only can the door glass seal rubber 28 and the foamed seal 31 be disposed in double layers to reliably prevent water from entering the vehicle interior, but also water passing through the door glass seal rubber 28 can be drained from the drain ports 33, 34 through the drain passages 32 defined between the door glass seal rubber 28 and the foamed seal 31.
While the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention can be variously modified in design without departing from the gist thereof.
For example, the mechanical fastening mechanism of the present invention is not limited to the bolt 25 of the embodiment, and may be another type of mechanical fastening mechanism such as a clip.
