【産業上の利用分野】[Industrial applications]

本考案は車両のリヤホイルハウス構造、特に板ばね車軸懸架式車のリヤホイル ハウス構造に関する。 The present invention relates to a vehicle rear wheel house structure, and more particularly to a rear wheel house structure for a leaf spring axle suspension type vehicle.

【0002】[0002]

【従来の技術】[Prior Art]

車両のリヤホイルハウスは、インナパネルとアウタパネルとを、これ等の上縁 に形成したフランジで接合することにより形成されている。また、リヤホイルハ ウスの内面には、リヤホイルより飛散した泥水による錆を防止するために、電着 塗装を施した後にアンダコート吹付けを行っている。 A rear wheel house of a vehicle is formed by joining an inner panel and an outer panel with a flange formed at their upper edges. In addition, the inner surface of the rear wheel house is electrodeposited to prevent rust due to muddy water splashing from the rear wheel, and then undercoat is sprayed.

【0003】 ところで、電着塗装においてリヤホイルハウスを電着液に浸漬したときに、リ ヤホイルハウス内面と電着液との間のエアを抜く必要がある。リンク式車軸懸架 式車に於いては、図8に示すように、インナパネル11とアウタパネル12とよ りなるリヤホイルハウス1のインナパネル11に、その内部にリヤホイルWの車 軸に連結し路面からの衝撃を緩和するダンパ15を収納するためのサスペンショ ンタワー16が設けてある。このリヤホイルハウス1では、サスペンションタワ ー16の頂部に設けた開口17を利用して電着塗装時のエア抜きを行っている。By the way, when the rear wheel house is immersed in the electrodeposition liquid in the electrodeposition coating, it is necessary to remove air between the inner surface of the rear wheel house and the electrodeposition liquid. In a link type axle suspension type vehicle, as shown in FIG. 8, an inner panel 11 and an outer panel 12 of an inner panel 11 of a rear wheel house 1 are connected to the axle of a rear wheel W from the road surface. A suspension tower 16 is provided for accommodating a damper 15 that absorbs the impact of. In this rear wheel house 1, the air is removed at the time of electrodeposition coating using the opening 17 provided at the top of the suspension tower 16.

【0004】 一方、板ばね車軸懸架式車においては、図5に示すように、リヤホイルハウス 10のアウタパネル12のフランジ121にインナパネル11のフランジ111 が接合されて上面が閉じられ、リンク式車軸懸架式車におけるような開口を有し ない。従って、リヤホイルハウス10には、電着塗装時にエア抜きを行うために 、図6に示すように、インナパネル11の上部にエア抜き穴110を設けたり、 図7に示すように、インナパネル11のフランジ111の一部にビード112を 形成し、リヤホイルハウス10の内外を連通するビード孔113を設けている。On the other hand, in the leaf spring axle suspension type vehicle, as shown in FIG. 5, the flange 121 of the inner panel 11 is joined to the flange 121 of the outer panel 12 of the rear wheel house 10 and the upper surface is closed to form a link type axle suspension system. It does not have an opening like in a wheel car. Therefore, the rear wheel house 10 is provided with an air vent hole 110 in the upper portion of the inner panel 11 as shown in FIG. 6 to remove air during electrodeposition coating, or as shown in FIG. A bead 112 is formed on a part of the flange 111 of the rear wheel housing, and a bead hole 113 that communicates the inside and the outside of the rear wheel house 10 is provided.

【0005】[0005]

【考案が解決しようとする課題】 ところが、エア抜き穴110を設けた板ばね車軸懸架式車のリヤホイルハウス 構造では、電着塗装後に下から吹き付けたアンダコートが、このエア抜き穴11 0を通って、室内に飛び散ることがあり、これを阻止するため、エア抜き穴11 0を塞ぐプラグホールを設ける必要があって構造が複雑となる。また、ビード孔 113を設けたリヤホイルハウス構造ではリヤホイルハウス10の下方よりアン ダコートの吹付けをする際にビード孔113の位置が下からわかりにくいため、 ビード孔113まわりの吹付けが充分行われず、吹き残しが生ずることがあり、 その場合にはビード孔113のシール性が低下し、ビード孔113を通って車内 に水や、ほこりが入ることがある。However, in the rear wheel house structure of the leaf spring axle suspension type vehicle having the air vent hole 110, the undercoat sprayed from below after electrodeposition coating passes through the air vent hole 110. Therefore, it may scatter in the room, and in order to prevent this, it is necessary to provide a plug hole for closing the air vent hole 110, which complicates the structure. Further, in the rear wheel house structure having the bead holes 113, the position of the bead holes 113 is difficult to see from below when spraying the undercoat from below the rear wheel house 10, so that the spraying around the bead holes 113 is not sufficiently performed. However, there is a case where the air is left unblown, in which case the sealing performance of the bead hole 113 deteriorates, and water or dust may enter the vehicle through the bead hole 113.

【0006】 さらに、従来、板ばね車軸懸架式車のリヤホイルハウス10の車両ボデーへの 取付けは、図5、6に示すようにアウタパネル12の延出部121aの上縁部を 、ルーフサイドインナパネル2の下端縁に重ね合せて接合し、アウタパネル12 の車外側側縁をクオータパネル3の下端縁に接合している。したがって、リヤホ イルハウス10とルーフサイドインナパネル2との接合はアウタパネル12一枚 だけで行われるので、接合部の強度、剛性が必ずしも充分でない。Further, conventionally, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the leaf wheel axle suspension type vehicle is mounted on the vehicle body of the rear wheel house 10 at the upper edge of the extending portion 121a of the outer panel 12 and at the roof side inner panel. The outer side edge of the outer panel 12 is joined to the lower edge of the quarter panel 3 by overlapping and joining the lower edge of the outer panel 12. Therefore, since the rear wheel house 10 and the roof side inner panel 2 are joined to each other only with the outer panel 12, the strength and rigidity of the joined portion are not always sufficient.

【0007】 本考案は、上記の事情に鑑みてなされたもので、リヤホイルハウス内面の電着 塗装およびアンダコート吹付けを正確に行い得るとともに、車両ボデーに対して 高い接合強度を有する板ばね車軸懸架式車のリヤホイルハウス構造を提供するこ とを課題としてなされたものである。The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and is capable of accurately performing electrodeposition coating and undercoat spraying on the inner surface of a rear wheel house and having a leaf spring axle having high joint strength with respect to a vehicle body. The object was to provide a rear wheel house structure for a suspension vehicle.

【0008】[0008]

【課題を解決するための手段】[Means for Solving the Problems]

本考案は、図1ないし図4に示すように、リヤホイルハウス10のインナパネ ル11とアウタパネル12のフランジ111、121周縁を共に車両ボデーのル ーフサイドインナパネル2の下端縁に重ね合せて接合するとともに、アウタパネ ル12の周縁頂上部に、一般面より室外側に突出する凸部120を設けてリヤホ イルハウス10内に袋部13を形成し、インナパネル11の周縁フランジ111 の頂上端末部にビード112を形成してビード孔113を袋部13に連通せしめ たことを特徴とする。 As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the present invention overlaps and joins the inner panel 11 of the rear wheel house 10 and the flanges 111 and 121 of the outer panel 12 with the lower end edge of the roof side inner panel 2 of the vehicle body. In addition, a convex portion 120 protruding outward from the general surface is provided on the top of the peripheral edge of the outer panel 12 to form the bag portion 13 in the rear wheel house 10, and the top end portion of the peripheral flange 111 of the inner panel 11 is formed. The bead 112 is formed so that the bead hole 113 is communicated with the bag portion 13.

【0009】[0009]

【作用】[Action]

リヤホイルハウス10内面を電着塗装する際には、リヤホイルハウス10内面 と電着液との間のエアはリヤホイルハウス10頂上部に設けた袋部13内に集り 、ビード孔113より効率よく排出される。又、リヤホイルハウス10は、イン ナパネル11とアウタパネル12のフランジ111、121周縁を二枚重ねてル ーフサイドインナパネル2に接合され、接合部の強度、剛性が向上する。 When the inner surface of the rear wheel house 10 is electrodeposited, the air between the inner surface of the rear wheel house 10 and the electrodeposition liquid collects in the bag portion 13 provided at the top of the rear wheel house 10 and is efficiently discharged from the bead holes 113. It Further, the rear wheel house 10 is joined to the roof side inner panel 2 by stacking two flanges 111 and 121 of the inner panel 11 and the outer panel 12 so that the strength and rigidity of the joined portion are improved.

【実施例】【Example】

図1ないし図4に示す実施例にもとずいて本考案を説明する。図1において、 リヤホイルWを覆う板ばね車軸懸架式車のリヤホイルハウス10はインナパネル 11とアウタパネル12とよりなる。 The present invention will be described based on the embodiment shown in FIGS. In FIG. 1, a rear wheel house 10 of a leaf spring axle suspension type vehicle that covers the rear wheel W includes an inner panel 11 and an outer panel 12.

【0011】 インナパネル11と、アウタパネル12のフランジ111、121は重ね合せ て周縁で接合されて、リヤホイルハウス10を構成している。アウタパネル12 の上縁部、外側縁は、図2に示すように、それぞれ車両ボデーのルーフサイドイ ンナパネル2とクオータパネル3とに接合してある。The inner panel 11 and the flanges 111 and 121 of the outer panel 12 are overlapped with each other and joined together at their peripheral edges to form the rear wheel house 10. The upper and outer edges of the outer panel 12 are joined to the roof side inner panel 2 and the quarter panel 3 of the vehicle body, respectively, as shown in FIG.

【0012】 アウタパネル12のフランジ121の頂上部付近は上方に延出して延出部12 1aを形成している。インナパネル11のフランジ111にはアウタパネル12 の延出部121aと対応する位置に上方に延出する延出部111aが形成してあ り、両延出部111a、121aの周縁が接合してある。A portion of the outer panel 12 near the top of the flange 121 extends upward to form an extending portion 121a. The flange 111 of the inner panel 11 is formed with an extending portion 111a extending upward at a position corresponding to the extending portion 121a of the outer panel 12, and the peripheral edges of both extending portions 111a, 121a are joined. ..

【0013】 アウタパネル12の頂上部には、フランジ121の延出部121aに室外側に 突出する凸部120が設けてあり、図2に示すように、凸部120は、これと対 向するインナパネル11のフランジ111の延出部111aとの間で袋部13を 形成している。At the top of the outer panel 12, there is provided a protrusion 120 projecting to the outside of the room at an extension 121a of the flange 121. As shown in FIG. The bag portion 13 is formed between the extension portion 111a of the flange 111 of the panel 11.

【0014】 さらに、図1ないし図4に示すように、インナパネル11のフランジ111の 延出部111aの上端縁には、室内側に突出するビード112が設けてあり、延 出部111Aと重なるアウタパネル12の延出部121aの上端縁とで、袋部1 3内部と連通するビード孔113を形成している。なお、図3の114は、イン ナパネル11に設けた補強用リブである。Further, as shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, a bead 112 projecting toward the indoor side is provided at the upper end edge of the extending portion 111a of the flange 111 of the inner panel 11 and overlaps with the extending portion 111A. A bead hole 113 communicating with the inside of the bag portion 13 is formed by the upper edge of the extending portion 121a of the outer panel 12. In addition, 114 in FIG. 3 is a reinforcing rib provided on the inner panel 11.

【0015】 図2に示すように、インナパネル11のフランジ111とアウタパネル12の フランジ121との接合部にルーフサイドインナパネル2の下端縁が接合されて いる。As shown in FIG. 2, the lower end edge of the roof side inner panel 2 is joined to a joint portion between the flange 111 of the inner panel 11 and the flange 121 of the outer panel 12.

【0016】 リヤホイルハウス10内部は、電着塗装を施した後、アンダコートを吹付けて 錆止めを行う。電着塗装において、リヤホイルハウス10を電着液に浸漬したと きには、リヤホイルハウス10内面と電着液との間のエアは上記袋部13内に集 まり、袋部13上部と連通するビード孔113よりリヤホイルハウス10外へ排 出される。After the inside of the rear wheel house 10 is subjected to electrodeposition coating, an undercoat is sprayed to prevent rust. In the electrodeposition coating, when the rear wheel house 10 is immersed in the electrodeposition liquid, the air between the inner surface of the rear wheel house 10 and the electrodeposition liquid is collected in the bag portion 13 and communicates with the upper portion of the bag portion 13. It is discharged to the outside of the rear wheel house 10 through the bead hole 113.

【0017】 本考案のリヤホイルハウス構造によれば、リヤホイルハウス10内部のエアは リヤホイルハウス10の頂上部にある袋部13内に確実に集まり、更にビード孔 113より完全に排出される。電着塗装後のアンダコート吹付け時、ビード孔1 13は袋部13の上端にあるから下からねらいやすく、ビード孔113内にアン ダコートを充分充填することができるので、シール性が向上し、車室内に水やほ こりが侵入することはない。According to the rear wheel house structure of the present invention, the air inside the rear wheel house 10 is reliably collected in the bag portion 13 at the top of the rear wheel house 10 and is completely discharged through the bead hole 113. At the time of spraying the undercoat after electrodeposition coating, the bead hole 113 is located at the upper end of the bag portion 13, so it is easy to aim from below, and the bead hole 113 can be sufficiently filled with the undercoat, so that the sealing property is improved. , No water or dust will enter the vehicle interior.

【0018】 又、下方から吹付けたアンダコートはビード孔113内を充填するのみで、従 来のエア抜き穴のように室内に飛散することはないので、プラグホールを必要と せず、構造が簡単である。Further, since the undercoat sprayed from below only fills the inside of the bead hole 113 and does not scatter into the room like a conventional air vent hole, a plug hole is not required and the structure is improved. Is easy.

【0019】 更に、本考案のリヤホイルハウス構造によれば、車両ボデーのルーフサイドイ ンナパネル2が、リヤホイルハウス10のインナパネル11とアウタパネル12 の接合部に接合されているから、接合部の強度、剛性が向上する。Further, according to the rear wheel house structure of the present invention, since the roof side inner panel 2 of the vehicle body is joined to the joint portion of the inner panel 11 and the outer panel 12 of the rear wheel house 10, the strength of the joint portion, The rigidity is improved.

【0020】 又、凸部120はリヤホイルハウス10の強度、剛性の向上に貢献する。Further, the convex portion 120 contributes to improvement in strength and rigidity of the rear wheel house 10.

【0021】[0021]
