Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a darts panel structure for an automobile that partitions the engine room and the passenger compartment of the automobile.

Traditionally, automobile dashboard panels to which auxiliary equipment such as master cylinder brackets and master bags are attached are made of flat plates.
It has the problem of low surface rigidity. Therefore, for the purpose of increasing the surface rigidity of the dash panel and increasing the supporting rigidity of the above-mentioned auxiliary equipment, a double dash panel is disclosed, for example, in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 18806/1983.

The object of this invention is to provide an automobile dash panel that has a structure different from that of the conventional dash panel described above, and which has a large surface rigidity.

Embodiments of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a darts panel, which comprises a darts upper part 1a and a darts lower part 1b, and partitions an engine room 2 and a vehicle interior 3 of an automobile. A steering shaft 4 is attached to the dash top part 1a.
A steering bracket 5 for supporting the steering shaft 4 is attached, and the lower part of the steering shaft 4 passes through a shaft hole 6 formed in the dart lower portion 1b and extends toward the engine room 2 side.

In Figure 1, 7 is reinforcement;
Reference numeral 8 indicates a front frame, and the reinforcement 7 is provided extending vertically at approximately the center of the dart lower portion 1b, and has a cap-shaped cross section as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, with flange portions on both sides thereof. 7
a, 7b to the rear surface of the dart lower part 1b,
For example, they are joined by spot welding to form a closed cross section. Further, the front frame 8 extends back and forth on the side of the vehicle body 9, and as is clear from FIG. , for example by spot welding.

10 indicates a reinforcing plate. This reinforcing plate 10
As is clear from the figure, it has a channel shape with flanges 10a and 10b bent backwards on both upper and lower edges, and one side 10A is attached to the rear surface of the reinforcement 7 by spot welding, for example. and the other side 10B is connected by the third
As is clear from the figure, it is connected to the back surface (rear surface) of the joint between the flange portions 8a, 8b of the front frame 8 and the dart lower portion 1b, for example, by spot welding.

Therefore, the auxiliary equipment 11 such as the master bag shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 is inserted into the reinforcing plate 10 from the front side of the darts lower part 1b through a through hole (not shown) formed in the darts lower part 1b. It is attached to the reinforcing plate 10 by being inserted into the master bag attachment hole 10C (FIG. 1) and bolted up into the bolt hole 10D. In the figure, 11A indicates a master cylinder bracket corresponding to the master bag, which is attached to the rear surface of the reinforcing plate 10.

In the above configuration, a reinforcement 7 extending vertically is coupled to the lower darts section 1b of the darts panel 1 approximately at the center thereof, and a front frame 8 extending longitudinally on the sides of the vehicle body 9 is connected to the reinforcement 7. and Datsushi lower part 1
Both sides 10 of the reinforcing plate 10 are placed on the back side of the joint part with b.
Since A and 10B are connected, the surface rigidity of the dart lower portion 1b is significantly increased. In addition, vibration and noise are reduced by increasing the surface rigidity of the lower part 1b, and the upper part is supported by the steering bracket 5 attached to the lower part 1a, and the lower part is inserted into the shaft hole 6 of the lower part 1b. The support rigidity against torsion of the supported steering shaft 4 in the directions of arrows A and B (see FIG. 2) is improved.

As explained above, according to this invention, a reinforcement extending vertically is connected to the approximate center of the lower part of the dartsail panel, and a front frame extending back and forth on the side of the vehicle body is connected to the engine compartment side of the lower part of the dartsill. The reinforcing plate, which is connected to the side surface and to which auxiliary equipment is attached, has one side connected to the reinforcement and the other side connected to the back surface of the front frame joint, which has the advantage of greatly increasing the surface rigidity of the darts panel.
