本発明は、エンジンルームと車室とを仕切るダッシュパ
ネル付近をユニット化する車両の前部車体の組立方法に
関するものである。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a method for assembling a front body of a vehicle, which unitizes the vicinity of a dash panel that partitions an engine room and a vehicle interior.
（従来の技術）
近年、自動車の製造において組立ラインでの組立作業の
容易化、作業ステーション数の減少を図るために、自動
車の各部をユニット化することが試みられている。(Prior Art) In recent years, in automobile manufacturing, attempts have been made to unitize each part of an automobile in order to facilitate assembly work on an assembly line and reduce the number of work stations.

力装置及びブレーキペダルナトヲダッシュパネルも含め
て一体的にユニット化し、そのユニットを車体前部のフ
ロントウィンド開口部を通じて上側から車体に組付ける
ことが提案されている。For example, as described in West German Patent Publication No. 3330140 and also described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 59-206267, a cowl member, a steering device, a brake booster, and a dash panel including a brake pedal nato are integrated. It has been proposed that the unit be assembled into a vehicle body from above through the front window opening at the front of the vehicle body.

内に移動するというおそれがある。(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the above proposal, the unit is inserted and assembled from the upper side of the vehicle body through the front window opening. A cowl member is included to ensure rigidity, and even if the unit is attached to the vehicle body, the cowl member is not welded to the vehicle body as in the past, so in the event of a frontal collision, Compared to a non-unitized structure, the ability to support collision forces is weak, and there is a risk that the entire unit may move into the rear passenger compartment.
そこで、車体左右のフロントピラー間を車幅方向に延び

を車体上側からフロントウィンド開口部を通じて挿入す
る際に車体側部材に干渉するステアリング装置を車体側
部材に取付けておき、そのステアリング装置を除いた。Therefore, we provided a vehicle body side member with a closed section structure that extends in the vehicle width direction between the left and right front pillars of the vehicle body, and installed a steering device on the vehicle body side that interferes with the vehicle body side member when the unit is inserted from the top of the vehicle body through the front window opening. It was attached to a component and its steering device was removed.
カウル部材、ブレーキ倍力装置及びブレーキペダルなど
を一体的にユニット化して、正面衝突時の衝突力を支え

じて上側からユニットを車体側部材に組付けるようにす
ることが考えられる。The cowl member, brake booster, brake pedal, etc. are integrated into a unit, and the unit is assembled to the vehicle body side member from above through the front window opening while ensuring sufficient force to support the collision force in the event of a frontal collision. It is possible to do so.

口部を通じて上側から車体側部材に組付ける際にブレー
キペダルの先端が車体側部材の前面に干渉する。However, the above-mentioned ones are caused by the influence of the recent trend toward short noses. Due to the positional relationship in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body between the cowl member that supports the lower end of the front windshield and the brake pedal, the tip (rear end) of the brake pedal located at the lower end of the unit is closer to the vehicle body than the rear end surface of the cowl member located at the upper end of the unit. It will be located at the rear. Therefore, when the unit is assembled to the vehicle body member from above through the front window opening, the tip of the brake pedal interferes with the front surface of the vehicle body member.

するものである。The present invention has been made in view of these points, and its purpose is to make the front surface of the vehicle body side member conform to the rear surface of the unit, and to make the rear surface of the unit correspond to the front surface of the vehicle body side member. By inserting and assembling the brake pedal in the same state, this system reliably prevents the tip of the brake pedal from interfering with the front surface of the vehicle body side member when the unit is assembled to the vehicle body side member from above through the front window opening. It is.

。(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the solution means of the present invention is such that a cowl unit having at least a cowl member, a brake booster, and a brake pedal moves between the left and right front pillars of the vehicle body in the vehicle width direction. As a method of assembling the front body to a vehicle body side member having a closed cross-section structure extending over the front side, the front side of the vehicle body side member is connected in advance to the top end of the rear surface of the cowl unit and the tip of the brake pedal located at the bottom end of the rear surface. The inclined surface is formed so that the lower side is positioned further back so as to substantially match the inclined virtual surface. a step of assembling a brake booster and a brake pedal to the cowl member to form a cowl unit; and a step of assembling the cowl unit diagonally forward and upward with the rear surface corresponding to the inclined surface of the front surface of the vehicle body side member. The structure includes a step of inserting and arranging the device.
