The present invention relates to a cowl top panel of an automobile. More specifically, by changing the structure of the cowl inner panel and fusion of the dash panel at the rear of the cowl inner panel bottom, the engine room and the interior space can be used more effectively. Of course, it relates to a cowl top panel of a car that can enhance passenger safety by reinforcing body rigidity in the event of a frontal collision.

In general, the car body is an important factor to ensure the safety of the vehicle by testing the front and side impact to ensure the safety of the passenger in the event of a crash, and already in each country It is being used as a big item such as import regulation.

As shown in FIG. 1, the cowl top panel 10 has a space between the cowl outer panel 11 and the cowl inner panel 12 having a "-" shape. It is configured to be fused to each other to have a (10a), both ends of the cowl outer panel 11 and the inner panel 12 are integrally extended to form the flanges (11a, 12a) to be welded by spot welding, and the cowl inner panel A horizontal flange 14a of a dash panel 14 is fused to the flange 11a of the front end portion (12) to distinguish the engine room in which the engine 13 is mounted from the interior.

In addition, a wiper ring cage (not shown) is mounted on the cowl top panel 10 so as to be linearly movable, and a sealer 16 is applied to one end of the cowl outer panel 11 so that the hood panel 15 is in close contact with the cowl top panel 10. In the portion opposite to the sealer 16, a sealant 18 is mounted to fix the windshield glass 17.

In the cowl top panel configured as described above, when another vehicle collides with the front of the radiator support upper member or hits an object, the hood panel 15 is crushed and various parts such as the engine 13 installed in the engine room are pushed into the vehicle cabin. It becomes. At this time, the impact force is transmitted to the cowl outer panel 11 of the cowl top panel 10, and the impact force is absorbed by the cowl inner panel 12 and the dash panel 14 fused with the cowl outer panel 11 and boarded. One passenger was protected.

However, because the horizontal flange of the dash panel was welded to the flange of the cowl inner panel as above by spot welding to distinguish the engine room from the room, the space of the engine room is relatively small. As the injury value applied to the human body is raised, there is a problem in that the safety of the passenger cannot be achieved.

The present invention is to solve the above problems, an object of the present invention is to extend the extension portion to one end of the cowl inner panel, by fusing the dash panel to the rear of the cowl inner panel, the engine room and the interior space is secured Of course, the space can be used more efficiently, and in particular, when the frontal collision is reinforced the body stiffness to provide a cow's cowl top panel that can improve the safety of the passengers by minimizing the amount of rolling of the cowl top panel and the engine.

Features of the present invention for achieving the above object, in the cowl top panel is a cowl inner panel consisting of a dash panel is fused to the bottom of the cowl inner panel and the cowl inner panel and the cow neighbor panel, the cowl inner of the cowl top panel An extension part integrally formed at one end of the panel to secure a space in the engine room, a cow outer panel having a vertical flange bent at a lower end to be fused to one side and a vertical flange of the cowl inner panel, and the cow outer panel It is fused to one side of the vertical flange, characterized in that consisting of a dash panel to reinforce the coupling stiffness during frontal collision

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a cowl top panel of a vehicle according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

2 is a view showing the cowl top panel according to the present invention, and the cowl top panel 40 has a cowl outer panel 41 and a cowl inner panel 43 having an extension portion 42 integrally formed at one end thereof. It is configured to be fused to each other to have a portion (40a), the cowl outer and the inner panel (41, 43) is formed to be bent to weld each of the vertical flange (41a, 43a) by spot welding, The hood panel 15 is in close contact with the sealer 16 at one end of the extension part 42.

The cowl inner panel 43 is equipped with a sealant 18 to fix the lower portion of the windshield glass 17, and one side of the vertical flange (41a) of the cowl outer panel 41 to distinguish the engine room and the interior The upper end of the dash panel 44 is fused.

Cowl top panel of the vehicle according to the present invention configured as described above, the cowl inner panel (43) one side and the vertical flange (43a) by fusing the cowl outer panel 41, respectively, the vertical flange of the cowl outer panel 41 (41a) When the upper side of the dash panel 44 is fused to one side to secure space in the engine room, and the front panel collides with the radiator support upper member while the hood panel 15 is in close contact with one end of the cowl inner panel 43. As the hood panel 15 is crushed, the cowl inner panel 43 is pushed to the indoor side.

At this time, as the dash panel 44 is fused to the vertical flange 41a of the cowl outer panel 41 so as to have a closed section, the coupling rigidity is reinforced, so that the engine room and the indoor space are expanded and the shock absorbing area is increased. (13), etc. will prevent the intrusion into the vehicle interior.

As described above, according to the cow top panel of the vehicle according to the present invention, the extension part is formed at one end of the cowl inner panel, and the dash panel is fused to the rear of the cowl inner panel to secure the engine room and the interior space, as well as the space. It can be used more efficiently, and in particular, when the frontal collision is reinforced the body rigidity can minimize the amount of indoor rolling, such as cowl top panel and engine can improve passenger safety.
