Next, the operation will be described.
In order to mount the vehicle air guides 20 and 21 thus configured on the radiator core support 1, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the respective locking claws 14 of the vehicle air guides 20 and 21 correspond respectively. The radiator air core 20 is supported by the radiator core support 1 by holding the air guide 20 in a state where the air core 20 is held between the opposing inner walls of the U-shaped cross section in the space defined by the ribs 9 of the radiator core support sides 5 and 6. Attach to.
In addition, about the detailed shape and fixing position of the latching claw 14, it can set suitably.
従って、図1に示すように、ラジエータコアサポート1に装着された車両用エアガイド20は、車両用エアガイド20,21がラジエータコアサポート1のラジエータコアサポートサイド5,6から車両前方側へ張り出した状態で車両上下方向に延設されることとなる。 Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, the vehicle air guide 20 mounted on the radiator core support 1 has the vehicle air guides 20 and 21 projecting from the radiator core support sides 5 and 6 of the radiator core support 1 to the front side of the vehicle. In this state, the vehicle is extended in the vertical direction.
また、図9に示すように、車両用エアガイド20が装着されたラジエータコアサポート1には、各サイドメンバ取付部7,8にバンパステイ16が締結されると共に、該パンパステイ16にバンパアーマチュア17が車両用エアガイド20,21の開口部13を貫通した状態で固定される。 Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the radiator core support 1 to which the vehicle air guide 20 is mounted is fastened with bumper stays 16 at the side member mounting portions 7 and 8, and a bumper armature 17 is attached to the pan pasty 16. The vehicle air guides 20 and 21 are fixed in a state of passing through the openings 13.
この際、各車両用エアガイド20,21の屈折部27aを車幅方向へ屈折させた状態で金属製のバンパアーマチュア17に密着させてシールすることができる。 At this time, the refracting portions 27a of the vehicle air guides 20 and 21 can be sealed by being brought into close contact with the metal bumper armature 17 while being refracted in the vehicle width direction.
さらに、図示を省略する熱交換器がラジエータコアサポート1の開口部R1,R2に対面した状態で図示を省略するファンと共に車体側に搭載される。
なお、熱交換器はラジエータコアサポート1の車両前方側または車両後方側のどちらに搭載しても良い。
Further, a heat exchanger (not shown) is mounted on the vehicle body side together with a fan (not shown) in a state of facing the openings R1, R2 of the radiator core support 1.
The heat exchanger may be mounted on either the vehicle front side or the vehicle rear side of the radiator core support 1.
また、各車両用エアガイド20,21の開口部13付近を除く車両前方側縁部には複雑な形状の図外の樹脂製のバンパフェイシアが配置されると共に、車両上下側縁部には図外の金属製の車体フレームが配置される。
この際、各車両用エアガイド20,21の屈折部27aを車幅方向へ屈折させた状態でバンパフェイシアに良好に密着させることができる。
Further, a resin bumper fascia having a complicated shape, not shown, is arranged on the vehicle front side edge except for the vicinity of the opening 13 of each of the vehicle air guides 20 and 21, and a vehicle bumper fascia is shown on the vehicle vertical side edge. An outer metal body frame is arranged.
At this time, the refracting portions 27a of the vehicle air guides 20, 21 can be satisfactorily adhered to the bumper fascia while being refracted in the vehicle width direction.
従って、前述したように、各車両用エアガイド20,21において、開口部13の周囲を除く屈折部27aの剛性がその他の部位の屈折部27bに比べて高くなっているため、金属製のバンパアーマチュア17や車体フレームに対しては強く当接した状態でシールできると同時に、樹脂製のバンパフェイシアには弱く当接した状態でシールでき、当接する対象に適した強弱で当接させてシールすることができる。 Therefore, as described above, in each of the air guides 20 and 21 for the vehicle, the rigidity of the refracting portion 27a excluding the periphery of the opening 13 is higher than that of the refracting portion 27b in other portions. The armature 17 and the vehicle body frame can be sealed in a strong contact state, and at the same time, the resin bumper fascia can be sealed in a weak contact state. be able to.
また、ラジエータコアサポート1の熱交換器は、開口部R1,R2から車両走行風またはファンによる強制風をコア部に通過させて熱交換を行う。
この際、車両用エアガイド20,21は、車両走行風またはファンによる強制風を整流化させてスムーズに熱交換器の前方へ導く導風板として機能する。
また、エンジン側の熱気が主に車両側方から熱交換器の前方へ吹き返すのを防止する防風板として機能する。
Further, the heat exchanger of the radiator core support 1 performs heat exchange by passing vehicle running wind or forced air from a fan through the openings R1 and R2 through the core.
At this time, the vehicle air guides 20 and 21 function as a wind guide plate that rectifies the vehicle traveling wind or the forced wind generated by the fan and smoothly guides it to the front of the heat exchanger.
Moreover, it functions as a windbreak plate that prevents hot air on the engine side from blowing back mainly from the side of the vehicle to the front of the heat exchanger.
次に、効果を説明する。
以上、説明したように、本実施例1の車両用エアガイド構造にあっては、ラジエータコアサポート1のラジエータコアサポートサイド5,6から車両前方側へ張り出した状態で車両上下方向に延設された樹脂製の車両用エアガイド構造において、車両用エアガイド20,21を、2つの表皮22,23の間に柱部24と空間25が交互に配置された中空構造で構成したため、軽量且つ柔軟性に優れ、別体の弾性部材を用いることなく、車体側とのシール性能を良好にできる。
Next, the effect will be described.
As described above, in the vehicle air guide structure according to the first embodiment, the radiator core support 1 extends in the vehicle vertical direction in a state of projecting from the radiator core support sides 5 and 6 toward the vehicle front side. In the resin air guide structure made of resin, the vehicle air guides 20 and 21 are formed of a hollow structure in which the column portions 24 and the spaces 25 are alternately arranged between the two skins 22 and 23, so that the light weight and flexibility are achieved. The sealing performance with the vehicle body can be improved without using a separate elastic member.
また、車両用エアガイド20,21の柱部24及び空間25を車両上下方向に延設したため、車幅方向へより撓みやすくなり、車体側(主にバンパフェイシア)とのシール性を向上できる上、車両衝突時に剛体として作用せず、好適となる。 In addition, since the column portions 24 and the spaces 25 of the vehicle air guides 20 and 21 are extended in the vehicle vertical direction, the vehicle air guide 20 and 21 can be more easily bent in the vehicle width direction, and the sealing performance with the vehicle body side (mainly bumper fascia) can be improved It does not act as a rigid body at the time of a vehicle collision, and is suitable.
また、車両用エアガイド20,21の少なくとも車両側前方縁部に複数のスリット26を設けて車幅方向に屈折可能な屈折部27を形成すると共に、この屈折部27を車体側と密着させてシールしたため、別体の弾性部材を用いることなく、車体側とのシール性能をさらに向上できる。 In addition, a plurality of slits 26 are provided at least on the vehicle-side front edge of the vehicle air guides 20 and 21 to form a refracting portion 27 that can be refracted in the vehicle width direction, and the refracting portion 27 is in close contact with the vehicle body side. Since the sealing is performed, the sealing performance with the vehicle body can be further improved without using a separate elastic member.

図10に示すように、本実施例2の車両用エアガイド構造では、左右対称形状の車両用エアガイド30が実施例1で説明したものと同様のラジエータコアサポート1の左右両側から前方斜め外側へ向かって突出した状態でそれぞれ設けられている。 As shown in FIG. 10, in the vehicle air guide structure of the second embodiment, the left and right symmetrical airframes 30 for the vehicle are guided diagonally forward from the left and right sides of the same radiator core support 1 as described in the first embodiment. Each is provided in a state of projecting toward.
具体的には、図11に示すように、車両用エアガイド30は、前方斜め外側へ向けて延設される第1垂直面部31と、この第1垂直面部31の後端部を所定の角度を有して前後方向へ延設された第2垂直面部32と、両垂直面部31,32の上下端部同士を水平な面で接続する接続面部33とを有して立体形状に形成され、これによって、実施例1と比べて全体剛性が向上している。 Specifically, as shown in FIG. 11, the vehicle air guide 30 includes a first vertical surface portion 31 that extends obliquely outward and a rear end portion of the first vertical surface portion 31 at a predetermined angle. And has a second vertical surface portion 32 extending in the front-rear direction and a connection surface portion 33 that connects the upper and lower ends of the vertical surface portions 31 and 32 with a horizontal surface, and is formed into a three-dimensional shape. Thereby, the overall rigidity is improved as compared with the first embodiment.
このように構成された車両用エアガイド30構造を製造する際には、先ず、図12に示すように、実施例1と同様に上下方向に延設された柱部24を有する平板状の素材の外形を所定形状に切欠する。 When manufacturing the vehicle air guide 30 structure configured as described above, first, as shown in FIG. 12, a flat plate-like material having column portions 24 extending in the vertical direction as in the first embodiment.

また、挟み込み部34の柱部24の目方向が折り込み方向に対して傾斜状となるため、挟み込み部34の固定を堅固にして周辺部位の剛性を向上できると同時に、接続面部33によって第1垂直面部31と第2垂直面部32を所定角度に堅固に維持できる。 Further, since the eye direction of the column part 24 of the sandwiching part 34 is inclined with respect to the folding direction, it is possible to firmly fix the sandwiching part 34 and improve the rigidity of the peripheral portion. The surface portion 31 and the second vertical surface portion 32 can be firmly maintained at a predetermined angle.
また、図15に示すように、接続面部33の柱部24aの目方向が両垂直面部31,32同士の所定角度を小さくするような応力に対して剛となる方向になるため、好適となる。 Further, as shown in FIG. 15, the eye direction of the column part 24a of the connection surface part 33 becomes a direction that becomes stiff against a stress that reduces the predetermined angle between the vertical surface parts 31 and 32, which is preferable. .
このように構成された車両用エアガイド30は、図10に示すように、実施例1と同様に、ラジエータコアサポート1に搭載された熱交換器37等の周辺部材の配管等が第2垂直面部32の開口部35cに挿通配置される。 As shown in FIG. 10, the vehicle air guide 30 configured as described above has a second vertical pipe and the like of peripheral members such as the heat exchanger 37 mounted on the radiator core support 1, as in the first embodiment. The opening portion 35 c of the surface portion 32 is inserted and arranged.
そして、車両用エアガイド30は、車両走行風または図外のファンによる強制風を熱交換器37に導くようになっている。 The vehicle air guide 30 guides the vehicle traveling wind or the forced wind by a fan (not shown) to the heat exchanger 37.
この際、車両走行風を受けた第1垂直面部31が後方へ屈折するのを接続面部33で抑止して状態を維持でき、車両用エアガイド30のばたつきや耐久性の低下を防止できる。 At this time, the connection surface portion 33 can prevent the first vertical surface portion 31 that has received the vehicle traveling wind from being refracted rearward, so that the state can be maintained, and fluttering of the vehicle air guide 30 and deterioration of durability can be prevented.
以上、本実施例を説明してきたが、本発明は上述の実施例に限られるものではなく、本発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲の設計変更等があっても、本発明に含まれる。
例えば、車両用エアガイドの全体形状は車体側に応じて適宜変更できる。
Although the present embodiment has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and design changes and the like within a scope not departing from the gist of the present invention are included in the present invention.
For example, the overall shape of the vehicle air guide can be appropriately changed according to the vehicle body side.
また、本実施例1では、スリットの間隔を変えることにより、屈折部の剛性に強弱を設定したが、スリットの深さを変えても良い。
同様に、バンパフェイシアと当接する屈折部の中空構造をスリットの深さ付近まで潰すことにより、脆弱化させて剛性が低くなるようにしても良い。
In the first embodiment, the strength of the refracting portion is set to be strong by changing the slit interval, but the slit depth may be changed.
Similarly, the hollow structure of the refracting portion that comes into contact with the bumper fascia may be crushed to near the depth of the slit so as to be weakened and have low rigidity.
また、本実施例1ではラジエータコアサポート1の左右両側に車両用エアガイドをそれぞれ設けたが、一方側にのみ設ける場合もあり得る。 In the first embodiment, the vehicle air guides are provided on both the left and right sides of the radiator core support 1, respectively, but may be provided only on one side.
さらに、本実施例1の柱部24が表皮と直交する方向へ直線状に形成される場合について説明したが、図16に示すように、空間25が台形状となるように傾斜状の柱部24を採用する等、適宜設定できる。 Furthermore, although the case where the column part 24 of the first embodiment is formed linearly in a direction perpendicular to the skin has been described, as shown in FIG. 16, the column part inclined so that the space 25 has a trapezoidal shape. For example, 24 can be used.
