Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce cost, avoid troubles during working, and improve the rigidity of the apron by constantly preventing the inflow of hot air into the space on the vehicle side where the air intake port of an intake duct is disposed. SOLUTION: In this sealing structure of a space inside a fender, a bead portion 3 having projecting curved surface is provided at the end edge of an upper installation flange 2a of a fender panel 2. A recessed curved surface 7a which engages with the projecting curved surface of the bead portion 3 is provided at the tip of the vertical surface of an apron 4 on its engine room 12 side. A sealing member 7 for sealing the gap G between the apron 4 and the upper installation flange 2a of the fender panel 2 communicating the engine room 12 and a vehicle side space 8 is fixed. Further, the sealing member 7 is fixed to the recessed step portion 9 formed on the vertical surface of the apron 4.

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 4, an air cleaner (not shown) is installed in an engine room surrounded by an engine hood 1 and an apron 4, and an air inlet 6 of an intake duct of the air cleaner is connected to the apron 4 and a fender panel. Vehicles arranged in a vehicle-side space 8 surrounded by 2 are well known. This is intended to reduce the intake air temperature by taking in outside air having a lower temperature than a portion partitioned from the hot air in the engine room 12, and to increase the efficiency of the engine by introducing high-density air.

A gap G is inevitably formed in a portion other than the portion fixed by bolts to the engine room 1.
The hot air E in 2 circulates into the vehicle side space 8, and the air intake 6 of the air intake duct of the air cleaner sucks the hot air E,
There was a problem that the intake air temperature did not drop so much.

In the above structure, the seal lip 11 can prevent the hot air E in the engine room 12 from flowing into the vehicle side space 8 through the gap G, but the engine hood 1 is closed. In order to make the seal lip 11 abut on the shoulder 4a of the apron 4 in the closed state, the seal lip 11 is attached to the shoulder 4a of the normal apron 4 shown in FIG.
However, as shown in FIG. 5, the length of the shoulder 4a is extended in the direction inside the engine room 12 by the width B so that the seal lip 11 abuts. for that reason,
There is a problem that the inside of the engine room 12 is narrowed by the extended B width and the cost is increased.

When the engine hood 1 is closed, the gap G is closed by the seal lip 11, but when the engine hood 1 is opened in the idling state of the engine, the seal lip 11 is disengaged from the shoulder 4a of the apron 4. The gap G opens apart. At this time, most of the hot air E in the engine room 12 is discharged upward, but a part of the hot air flows into the vehicle side space 8 from the gap G, which is not preferable for the engine in an idling state.
