The present invention relates to a vehicle front section structure.
A known front vehicle section structure comprises a hood provided at a vehicle front section, a windshield pane disposed at a rear side of the hood vehicle, and a hood awning which extends in the vehicle width direction along a lower end portion of the windshield pane and is disposed at a lower vehicle side of the hood (see, for example, the patent application Japanese Patent Opened for Inspection (JP-A) No. 2008-56166).
For example, when the moving wind strikes a lower part of the windshield glass when the vehicle is moving, part of the traveling wind flows towards the front side of the vehicle, in a storage section. wiper formed between the hood and the bonnet awning. This traveling wind flows to an outer side of vehicle width direction along the wiper storage section, and is guided to a vehicle top side along a lower portion of a post before after going through a wiper arm.
The traveling wind that has struck an area at the outer side of the vehicle width direction of the windshield glass flows to the front side of the vehicle in an area at the outer side of the steering direction. vehicle width in the wiper storage section. When the traveling wind comes into contact with the traveling wind flowing within the wiper storage section described above to the vehicle width direction outer side, the traveling wind becomes disordered, is likely to pass over a lower end portion (base portion) of the front post, and is likely to escape to the front side door side. The moving wind that has escaped to the front side door side can become a source of noise (wind noise) by striking a side mirror of the front side door.
In view of the foregoing, an object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle front section structure capable of preventing the traveling wind flowing within a storage section of the vehicle. wiper to pass over a lower end portion of a front pillar, when it escapes to a front side door side, and to hit a side mirror, when a vehicle is moving.
A front section of vehicle structure according to a first aspect comprises: a hood provided at a front section of the vehicle; a windshield pane disposed at a rear side of the hood vehicle; a bonnet awning extending in a vehicle width direction along a lower end portion of the windshield pane, which extends from the lower end portion to a front side of a vehicle , and which is disposed at a lower side of the hood vehicle; a front post which extends from an end portion at a vehicle width direction outer side of the hood awning to a vehicle top side and to the rear side of a vehicle along a end portion at the vehicle width direction outer side of the windshield pane; a front side door having a side mirror disposed at the vehicle width direction outer side, and at the rear vehicle side of a lower end portion of the front leg, and which is provided at the a vehicle side portion; a wiper arm having an arm base portion having an end portion attached to a rotational shaft provided at a position at the vehicle width direction outer side of the hood awning, and extending from the rotation shaft to a vehicle width direction inner side and to the vehicle upper side in a state in which the arm base portion is housed in a wiper storage section formed between hood and hood awning; and a flow control member which is provided at the hood awning, which is disposed in the wiper storage section at the vehicle width direction outer side and at the front side. of the arm base portion in the state in which the arm base portion is housed in the wiper storage section, and which has a vertical wall extending in a front-rear direction of vehicle and an inclined wall disposed at the vehicle front side of the arm base portion, in the state in which the arm base portion is accommodated in the wiper storage section, and extending from a rear end portion of the vertical wall to the vehicle width direction outer side and to the vehicle front side along the arm base portion.
According to the vehicle front section structure of the first aspect, the wiper storage section in which the arm base portion of the wiper arm is housed is formed between the hood and the awning. hood. An end portion of the arm base portion is attached to the rotational shaft provided at the location at the vehicle width direction outer side of the hood awning. The arm base portion extends to the vehicle width direction inner side and to the vehicle top side of the rotation shaft, in the state in which the arm base portion is housed in the section. wiper storage.
When the moving wind strikes a lower portion of the windshield glass while the vehicle is moving, a portion of the traveling wind flows to the front side of the vehicle and into the wiper storage section. -ice cream. The traveling wind that has flowed into the wiper storing section is guided toward the top side of the vehicle along a lower portion of the front pillar after having elapsed to the outermost side of the width direction of the vehicle. vehicle along the wiper storage section and past the wiper arm.
For example, the moving wind that struck an area on the outside side of the vehicle width direction of the windshield glass flows to the front side of the vehicle to an area at the side. vehicle width direction outside in the wiper storage section. When this traveling wind and the traveling wind flowing inside the wiper storage section described above, collide to the vehicle width direction outer side, the traveling winds become disordered, and are likely to pass over the lower end portion of the front pillar and are likely to escape to the front side door side. In cases where the traveling wind that has escaped to the front side door side hits the side-view mirror of the front side door, it is possible that this causes noise (wind noise).
On the contrary, in the present aspect, the flow control element having the vertical wall and the inclined wall is provided at the hood awning. The vertical wall is disposed at the vehicle width direction outer side of the windshield wiper storage section and at the vehicle front side of the arm base portion in the state in which the arm base is housed in the wiper storage section, and the vertical wall extends in the vehicle front-rear direction.

Therefore, the flow of air of the traveling wind that passes over the lower end portion of the front pillar and escapes from the wiper storage section to the front side door side is reduced since the perturbation in the displacement wind described above is suppressed.
In addition, in cases in which the air flow of the traveling wind flowing through an inner side area (vehicle front side) at the vehicle width direction outer side of the Wiper storage section increases, the moving wind is likely to pass over the lower end portion of the front pillar and is likely to escape to the front side door side.
On the contrary, in the present aspect, the inclined wall is disposed at the vehicle front side of the arm base portion in the state in which the arm base portion is housed within the wiper storage section. The inclined wall extends from the rear end portion of the vertical wall toward the vehicle width direction outer side and towards the vehicle front side along the arm base portion. That is, the inclined wall is disposed at the rear vehicle side of the wiper storage section in a range where the arm base portion does not interfere. The traveling wind is thereby prevented from flowing into the inner side area at the vehicle width direction outer side of the windshield wiper storage section. As a result, the flow of air of the traveling wind that flows from the wiper storage section, passes over the lower end portion of the front pillar, and escapes to the side. front side door, is further reduced.
In this way, in the present aspect, the airflow of the traveling wind that flows from the wiper storage section, passes over the lower end portion of the post. before, and escapes to the front side door side, is reduced when the vehicle is moving. As a result, the traveling wind that has escaped from the wiper storage section to the front side door side is prevented from hitting the side mirror. The noise (wind noise) is thus reduced.
According to a second aspect, the front vehicle section structure further comprises an upstream side flow regulating member which is provided along a lower portion of the front pillar and which guides towards the upper side. of vehicle, the wind flowing in the wiper storage section towards the vehicle width direction outer side, an end portion at the vehicle width direction outer side of the inclined wall being close to, or touching, the upflow side flow control element.
According to a third aspect of the vehicle front section structure, the upstream side flow regulating member has a plate shape extending in the vehicle front-rear direction along the lower portion of the front pillar, and is disposed with a plate thickness direction of the upstream side flow control element in the vehicle width direction.
According to a fourth aspect of the vehicle front section structure, the rear end portion at the rear vehicle side of the vertical wall is close to the arm base portion in the state in which the base portion of the arm is housed in the wiper storage section.
According to a fifth aspect of the vehicle front section structure, the hood awning has a cladding wall extending from the lower end portion of the windshield pane to the front side of the vehicle, and which faces a rear portion at the rear side of the hood vehicle in a high-low vehicle direction; and a support wall which extends from a front end portion at the vehicle front side of the trim wall to the vehicle top side, and which supports the hood; and a front end portion at the vehicle front side of the vertical wall is near or touching the support wall (40B).
According to a sixth aspect of the vehicle front section structure, the bonnet awning is arranged to cover between the bonnet and the lower end portion of the windshield pane.
According to a seventh aspect of the vehicle front section structure, the vertical wall has a plate shape extending in the vehicle front-rear direction, and is disposed with a vertical wall plate thickness direction in the vehicle width direction.
According to an eighth aspect of the vehicle front section structure, the sloped wall has a plate shape, and is disposed with a plate thickness direction of the inclined wall in the vehicle front-rear direction.
According to a ninth aspect of the vehicle front section structure, the inclined wall is inclined with respect to the vehicle width direction so as to be positioned further towards the vehicle front side when advancing from the rear end portion from the vertical wall to the outer side of vehicle width direction.
According to a tenth aspect of the vehicle front section structure, the wiper arm has an extension that extends from another end portion of the arm base portion, is folded with respect to the portion of the arm base, and has a front end portion on which a wiper blade is rotatably attached.
According to the vehicle front section structure of the second aspect, the upstream side flow control member is provided along the lower portion of the front pillar. The traveling wind that flows within the wiper storage section to the vehicle width direction outer side is guided to the vehicle top side by the flow control member of the vehicle. side amount.
The end portion of the vehicle width direction outer side of the inclined wall is near or touching the upstream side flow control member. Therefore, the traveling wind which has been guided to the vehicle width direction outer side by the inclined wall can easily flow to the vehicle top side along the upstream side flow control element. . Therefore, the traveling wind flowing inside the wiper storing section passes over the upstream side flow regulating member and the lower end portion of the front stile. , escapes to the front side door side, and is further prevented from hitting the side mirror when the vehicle is moving. The noise (wind noise) is therefore reduced.

As shown in FIG. 4, the extension 54B extends outward from a portion of another direction end of the length of the wiper portion. arm base 54A. A central length direction portion of the wiper blade 56 is rotatably attached to a front end portion 54E2 of the extension 54B. The wiper blade 56 is disposed along the lower end portion 18L of the windshield pane 18, in the state in which the arm base portion 54A is housed in the storage section of the windshield pane. It should be noted that, in the following explanation, the orientation of the wiper arm 54 refers to the orientation of the wiper arm 54 in the state housed in the wiper arm 54. Wiper storage section 50, unless otherwise indicated.
The flow control element 60 is provided in a position at the vehicle width direction outer side of the hood awning 40. The flow control element 60, for example, is made of resin, and integrally formed on the hood awning 40. The flow regulating member 60 is disposed at the vehicle front side of the arm base portion 54A in the state in wherein the arm base portion 54A is housed in the wiper storage section 50.
As illustrated in FIG. 5, the flow control element 60 comprises a vertical wall 62 and an inclined wall 64. The vertical wall 62 has a plate shape extending in the front-to-back direction. of vehicle, and is disposed with the plate thickness direction of the vertical wall 62 in the vehicle width direction. A rear end portion 62R at the rear vehicle side of the upstanding wall 62 is near the arm base portion 54A in the state in which the arm base portion 54A is housed in the storage section of the rear wall portion 62A. A front end portion 62F at the vehicle front end of the upstanding wall 62 is near or touching the support wall 40B of the hood canopy 40. windscreen wiper 50 is divided in the vehicle width direction by the vertical wall 62.
The inclined wall 64 has a plate shape, and is disposed at the vehicle front side of the arm base portion 54A, in the state in which the arm base portion 54A is housed in the section. wiper storage 50, with the plate thickness direction of the inclined wall 64 in the vehicle front-rear direction. The inclined wall 64 extends from the rear end portion 62R of the upstanding wall 62 along the arm base portion 54A in the state in which the arm base portion 54A is housed in the storage section. windscreen wiper 50, and to the vehicle width direction outer side and to the vehicle front side. That is, the inclined wall 64 is inclined with respect to the vehicle width direction so as to be further positioned towards the vehicle front side as it advances from the rear end portion 62R of the wall vertical 62 to the outer side of vehicle width direction. An end portion of the vehicle width direction outer side 64E of the inclined wall 64 is near or touching the upstream side flow control member 46. The wiper storage section 50 is divided in the vehicle front-rear direction by the inclined wall 64.
An explanation follows with respect to the operation of the present exemplary embodiment.
According to the present exemplary embodiment, the wiper storing section 50 is formed between the rear part 30R of the cover 30 and the hood awning 40. It is difficult to see the arm of the wiper. wiper 54 from the outside because the wiper arms 54 of the pair of windscreen wipers 52 are housed in the wiper storage section 50. The appearance of the front section of the wiper arm 54 is 12F vehicle is thus improved.
As illustrated in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, when, for example, a traveling wind XI strikes a central area of vehicle width direction of the lower part of the windshield pane 18 when the vehicle 12 moves, the traveling wind speed XI is reduced, and part of the traveling wind XI flows to the vehicle front side in the wiper storage section 50 at one side of the vehicle. low pressure. As indicated by the arrow X2 in FIG. 3, once the traveling wind XI has passed inside the wiper storing section 50 towards the vehicle width direction outer side , the traveling wind XI is guided to the upper vehicle side along the upstream side flow control element 46 (see Fig. 4), as indicated by the arrow X3.
The traveling wind Y which struck an area at the vehicle width direction outer side of the windshield pane 18 flows towards the vehicle front side at an area in the section. Wiper storage 50 on the outside side of vehicle width direction. When the traveling wind Y collides with the traveling wind X2 flowing inside the wiper storing section 50 described above towards the vehicle width direction outer side, the displacement wind X2 becomes disordered, facilitating the passage over the upstream side flow regulating member 46 and the lower end portions 22L of the front posts 22 and escaping to the lateral door side 24. As illustrated in FIG. 1, in cases in which an X4 displacement wind which has escaped towards the side of the front side doors 24 and is disordered strikes irregularly against the side mirror 26 of the front side doors 24 this can cause noise (wind noise).
On the contrary, as illustrated in FIG. 5, in the present exemplary embodiment, the flow control element 60 is provided at the hood awning 40. The element of FIG. flow control 60 comprises the vertical wall 62 and the inclined wall 64. The vertical wall 62 is disposed at the vehicle width direction outer side of the wiper storage section 50 and at the front side. of the arm base portion 54A in the state in which the arm base portion 54A is housed in the wiper storing section 50, and the upright wall 62 extends in the forward direction. rear of vehicle. The inner side of the wiper storing section 50 is divided in the vehicle width direction by the vertical wall 62.
The traveling wind X2 flowing inside the wiper storing section 50 from the central side of the vehicle width direction towards the outer side is thus guided towards the rear side of the vehicle. by the vertical wall 62, as indicated by the arrow a. As a result, the flow of air of the traveling wind X2 flowing within the wiper storing section 50 to the upstream side flow regulating member side 46 is reduced. Thus, as described above with reference to Fig. 3, the traveling wind X2 is prevented from becoming disordered in an area at the vehicle width direction outer side of the wiper storage section. As a result, the airflow of a traveling wind X4 from the wiper storing section 50 which passes over the upstream side flow regulating member 46 and lower end portions 22L of the front posts 22, which has escaped to the side of the front side doors 24 (see Fig. 1), is reduced.
In addition, in cases in which the flow of air of the traveling wind X2 which flows through an inner side zone 50Q at the vehicle width direction outer side of the storage section As the wiper 50 (see Fig. 5) increases, the traveling wind X2 is likely to pass over the upstream side flow regulating element 46 and the lower end portions 22L of the front legs 22. , and is likely to escape to the side of the front side doors 24.
[006] In contrast, as shown in FIG. 5, in the present exemplary embodiment, the inclined wall 64 extends from the rear end portion 62R of the upstanding wall 62 which follows the arm base 54A in the state in which the arm base portion 54A is housed in the wiper storing section 50, to the vehicle width direction outer side and to the vehicle front side. That is, the inclined wall 64 is disposed at the rear vehicle side of the wiper storing section 50, in a range where the arm base portion 54A does not interfere. An area at the vehicle width direction outer side of the wiper storing section 50 is thus raised in level by the inclined wall 64.
[004] The moving wind Y which struck an area at the vehicle width direction outer side of the windshield pane 18 (see FIG. 3) thus flows to the element side of rising side flow control 46 along the inclined wall 64 as indicated by the arrow b, so as to be prevented from flowing into the inner side area 50Q of the wiper storage section 50. Therefore, an airflow of the traveling wind X4 from the wiper storing section 50 that passes over the upstream side flow regulating member 46 and end portions. lower 22L front posts 22, and escaped to the side of the front side doors 24, is further reduced.
In addition, the traveling wind which has been guided to the upstream side flow control element side 46 through the inclined wall 64 as indicated by the arrow b is guided towards the upper side of the vehicle along the upstream side flow regulating element 46 as indicated by the arrow c. As a result, the flow of air of the traveling wind X4 flowing from the wiper storing section 50, which passes over the upstream side flow regulating member 46 and the portions thereof. 22L lower end of the front posts 22, and which escapes to the side of the front side doors 24, is further reduced.
In addition, the end portion 64E at the vehicle width direction outer side of the inclined wall 64 is near or touching the upstream side flow control member 46. The wind guided movement to the upstream side flow control element side 46 through the inclined wall 64 as indicated by the arrow b thus easily flows into the vehicle top side along the upflow flow control 46 as indicated by the arrow c.
In addition, the rear end portion 62R of the vertical wall 62 is near the arm base portion 54A in the state in which the arm base portion 54A is housed in the storage section of the wiper 50, and the leading end portion 62F of the vertical wall 62 is near or touching the support wall 40B of the hood awning 40. The air flow of the moving wind X2 which flows within the wiper storage section 50 from the vehicle width direction center side to the upstream side flow control element side 46 is thus effectively reduced.
As a result, the traveling wind X4 from the wiper storing section 50 which passes over the upstream side flow regulating member 46 and the lower end portions 22L of the stiles. before 22, and which escaped to the side of the front side doors 24, is further reduced. As a result, the traveling wind that has escaped to the front side door side of the wiper storing section is still prevented from striking the side mirror 26.
An explanation follows regarding modified examples of the above exemplary embodiment.
Although the flow control element 60 is provided on a vehicle width direction side of the wiper storing section 50 (the left side in the present exemplary embodiment) in the above exemplary embodiment, the above exemplary embodiment is not limited thereto. The flow control member 60 may, for example, be provided on the other vehicle width direction side of the wiper storing section 50 depending on the position of the rotation shaft 58. of the arm base portion 54A.
When a flow control element is provided at the other side of the vehicle width direction (right side) of the wiper storing section 50 in which the rotation shaft 58 of the wiper arm 54 is not present, it is possible for a side wall to extend horizontally from a rear end portion of the vertical wall in the vehicle width direction; however, the above exemplary embodiment is a technology that is particularly effective when the installation space of the flow regulating member 60 is limited by the wiper arm 54. In this case, noise (wind noise) can be effectively reduced in the above exemplary embodiment.
Although the upstream side flow control element 46 is provided along the front posts 22 in the above exemplary embodiment, the upstream side flow control element 46 can be omitted.
[0056] An additional explanation follows regarding the vehicle width direction position of the vertical wall 62. In this exemplary embodiment, since the vertical wall installation space 62 is narrowed by moving the wall vertical to the upstream side flow control element side 46, the front-rear vehicle direction length of the vertical wall 62 is decreased. Therefore, a displacement of the vertical wall 62 towards the upstream side flow regulating element side 46 causes the moving wind X2 flowing inside the windshield wiper storing section. 50 from the central side of vehicle width direction to the outer side to be more likely to pass over the vertical wall 62. Therefore, it is possible that the X4 displacement wind from the storage section of wiper 50 which passes over the upstream side flow regulating element 46 and the lower end portions 22L of the front posts 22, and escapes to the side of the front side doors 24, increases.
However, a displacement of the vertical wall 62 towards the opposite side to the upstream side flow control element 46 (the vehicle width direction center side) widens the spacing between the vertical wall 62. and the upstream side flow regulating member 46. Therefore, the flow of air of the traveling wind flowing to the front side of the vehicle between the upstanding wall 62 and the flow control member on the rising side 46 increases. Therefore, it is possible that the traveling wind X4 from the wiper storing section 50 which passes over the upstream side flow regulating member 46 and the lower end portions 22L. front posts 22, which has escaped to the side of the front side doors 24, increases.
The position in the vehicle width direction of the vertical wall 62 is, for example, suitably established in view of the foregoing, and, in the above exemplary embodiment, is, for example, for example, set at a position moved from an end portion 54E1 of the arm base portion 54A to the vehicle width direction inner side a quarter of the total length of the wiper arm 54, or near this position.
Although an explanation has been made with respect to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the present invention is not limited to this exemplary embodiment. It is obvious that the exemplary embodiment can be used in combination with various modified examples, and that different embodiments are possible in a range not deviating from the present invention.
