【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、車両前端部にて車両ボディに固定されるフロントエンドパネルに関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来、車両前方側、つまり車室内より前方側にトランクルーム（荷室）を有する車両では、図３に示すように、フロントエンドパネルのアッパメンバ１１及びファンシュラウド１６を覆うガイドカバー４０にて滑り台状のスロープ面を形成することにより、ガイドカバー４０上で荷物を滑らせることができるようにして荷物の出し入れを容易なものとするとともに、アッパメンバ及びファンシュラウド等に傷がつくことを防止している（例えば、特許文献１参照）。
【０００３】
【特許文献１】
実開平６−７５９６８号公報
【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかし、上記図３の従来技術では、ガイドカバーにて滑り台状のスロープ面を形成しているので、ガイドカバーの大きさをアッパメンバの長手方向略全域を覆うような大きさとする必要があり、車両前端部の重量が増大してしまうとともに、ガイドカバーの製造原価、つまり車両の製造原価を低減することが難しい。
【０００５】
本発明は、上記点に鑑み、第１には、従来と異なる新規なフロントエンドパネルを提供し、第２には、車両前端部の重量が増大してしまうことを抑制しつつ、アッパメンバを保護しながら荷物の出し入れを容易なものとすることを目的とする。
【０００６】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、上記目的を達成するために、請求項１に記載の発明では、車両前端部にて車両ボディに固定されるフロントエンドパネルであって、
車両正面視で矩形状の枠体部（１４）を有しており、
矩形状の枠体部（１４）の上端側に車両幅方向に延びる梁状のアッパメンバ（１１）が設けられており、
梁状のアッパメンバ（１１）は、長手方向と直交する断面の形状が略コの字となるように形成されており、
梁状のアッパメンバ（１１）には、車両幅方向に対して略直交する板状のガイドリブ（１５）が、車両幅方向に複数枚設けられており、
板状のガイドリブ（１５）は、車両幅方向に延びるアッパメンバ（１１）内の空間を複数個の空間に仕切るようにアッパメンバ（１１）に一体化されており、
さらに、ガイドリブ（１５）の端部のうち上端側から車両後方側に至る部位の外縁は、車両幅方向から見て、アッパメンバ（１１）を覆うように車両後方側が下方側に傾斜したスロープ形状となっていることを特徴とする。
【０００７】
これにより、複数枚のガイドリブ（１５）の外縁が荷物の出し入れを容易なものとするスロープとして機能する。つまり、本発明では、複数枚のガイドリブ（１５）の外縁が荷物と線接触することにより、図３の従来技術と同様なスロープ機能が発揮される。
【０００８】
しかも、荷物とスロープ機能を成すガイドリブ（１５）とが線接触しているので、面接触にてスロープ機能を発揮する図３の従来技術に比べて、車両前端部の重量増を大幅に小さくすることができる。
【０００９】
さらに、本発明においては、アッパメンバ（１１）を、長手方向と直交する断面の形状が略コの字となるように形成し、かつ、ガイドリブ（１５）を車両幅方向に対して略直交する板状とし、この板状のガイドリブ（１５）を、車両幅方向に延びるアッパメンバ（１１）内の空間を複数個の空間に仕切るようにアッパメンバ（１１）に一体化している。
これによると、略コの字状の断面形状を有する梁状のアッパメンバ（１１）の機械的強度、特に、曲げ剛性及び捩り剛性を複数枚の板状ガイドリブ（１５）によって効果的に向上させることができる。
その結果、ガイドリブ（１５）は、アッパメンバ（１１）の機械的強度を増強する補強部材として効果的に機能するので、フロントエンドパネルの重量及び製造原価が大きく上昇してしまうことを抑制しつつ、フロントエンドパネル（１０）の強度を向上させることができるとともに、荷物の出し入れを容易なものとしながらアッパメンバ（１１）に傷がつくことを防止できる。
【００１２】
請求項２に記載の発明では、請求項１に記載のフロントエンドパネルにおいて、ガイドリブ（１５）及びアッパメンバ（１１）は、樹脂にて一体成形されて一体化されていることを特徴とするものである。
【００１３】
請求項３に記載の発明では、請求項１に記載のフロントエンドパネルにおいて、アッパメンバ（１１）は金属製であり、ガイドリブ（１５）は樹脂製であり、さらに、ガイドリブ（１５）とアッパメンバ（１１）とは、機械的な締結手段にて一体化されていることを特徴とするものである。
【００１４】
因みに、上記各手段の括弧内の符号は、後述する実施形態に記載の具体的手段との対応関係を示す一例である。
【００１５】
【発明の実施の形態】
本実施形態は、走行用のエンジンが車室より後方側に搭載されてトランクルームが車室より前方側に設けられた車両に本発明に係るフロントエンドパネルを適用したものであって、図１は本実施形態に係るフロントエンドパネル１０が組み付けられた車両の前端部を示す説明図であり、図２は本実施形態に係る車両前端部の断面図である。
【００１６】
フロントエンドパネル１０は、車両幅方向に延びる梁状のアッパメンバ１１、アッパメンバ１１より下方側にて車両幅方向に延びる梁状のロアメンバ１２、及びアッパメンバ１１の長手方向端部とロアメンバ１２の長手方向端部とを繋ぐように上下方向に延びるバーチカルメンバ１３からなる矩形枠体部１４等を有して構成され、車両ボディのうち車両前後方向に延びるサイドメンバー２０にボルト等の締結手段にて固定されている。
【００１７】
なお、フロントエンドパネル１０のうち矩形枠体部１４には、図２に示すように、ラジエータ２１やコンデンサ２２等の熱交換器及び前照灯等の車両前端機器が組み付けられているとともに、本実施形態では、ファンシュラウド１６を含めてフロントエンドパネル１０を炭素繊維又はガラス繊維にて補強された樹脂にて一体成形している。
【００１８】
因みに、ファンシュラウド１６とは、熱交換器と熱交換器に空気を送風する送風機２３とを覆って送風機２３にて誘起された空気流が熱交換器を迂回して流れることを抑制するダクト手段であり、本実施形態に係るファンシュラウド１６は、送風機２３を支持するステー部材を兼ねている。
【００１９】
また、矩形枠体部１４、つまりフロントエンドパネル１０の上端に位置するアッパメンバ１１には、図１に示すように、車両幅方向に対して略直交する板状のガイドリブ１５が、車両幅方向に複数枚設けられており、このガイドリブ１５の端部のうち上端側から車両後方側に至る部位の外縁は、図２に示すように、車両幅方向（図２の紙面垂直方向）から見て、アッパメンバ１１及びファンシュラウド１６を覆うようにファンシュラウド１６まで延びて、車両後方側が下方側に傾斜したスロープ形状となっている。
【００２０】
また、アッパメンバ１１及びロアメンバ１２等の矩形枠体部１４を構成するメンバは、車両後方側は開口した略コの字状の断面形状に構成されているとともに、ガイドリブ１５は、車両幅方向に延びるアッパメンバ１１内の空間を複数個の空間に仕切るようにフロントエンドパネル１０に一体成形されてアッパメンバ１１に一体化されている
因みに、フロントエンドパネル１０より車両後方側には、図１に示すように、トランクルーム３０が設けられており、フード３１はトランクルーム２３の開口部を開閉するための蓋である。
【００２１】
次に、本実施形態の作用効果を述べる。
【００２２】
車両幅方向に複数枚設けられガイドリブ１５の端部のうち上端側から車両後方側に至る部位の外縁（図２の太い実線）が、車両幅方向から見て、アッパメンバ１１及びファンシュラウド１６を覆うようにファンシュラウド１６まで延びて、車両後方側が下方側に傾斜したスロープ形状となっているので、複数枚のガイドリブ１５の外縁が、荷物の出し入れを容易なものとするスロープとして機能する。
【００２３】
つまり、本実施形態では、複数枚のガイドリブ１５の外縁が荷物と線接触することにより、図３の従来技術と同様なスロープ機能が発揮される。しかも、荷物とスロープ機能を成すガイドリブ１５とが線接触しているので、面接触にてスロープ機能を発揮する図３の従来技術に比べて、車両前端部の重量増を大幅に小さくすることができる。
【００２４】
また、ガイドリブ１５は、アッパメンバ１１の機械的強度を増強する補強部材として機能するので、フロントエンドパネル１０の重量及び製造原価が大きく上昇してしまうことを抑制しつつ、フロントエンドパネル１０の強度を向上させることができるとともに、荷物の出し入れを容易なものとしながらアッパメンバ１１及びファンシュラウド１６等に傷がつくことを防止できる。
【００２５】
（その他の実施形態）
上述の実施形態では、アッパメンバ１１とガイドリブ１５とを一体成形することにより一体化したが、本発明はこれに限定されるものではなく、例えばガイドリブ１５とアッパメンバ１１とをボルト等の機械的な締結手段にて一体化してもよい。なお、このとき、アッパメンバ１１を例えば金属のプレス成形品としてもよい。
【００２６】
また、上述の実施形態では、アッパメンバ１１とガイドリブ１５とを樹脂にて一体成形したが、本発明はこれに限定されるものではなく、例えばアッパメンバ１１を金属製として、アッパメンバ１１をガイドリブ１５を成形するための金型内に配置した状態で金型内に樹脂を射出するインサート成形法により樹脂製のガイドリブ１５と金属製のアッパメンバ１１とを一体化してもよい。
