The glass side wall portion 11 is provided with substantially rectangular openings 12 at two predetermined locations in the longitudinal direction (vehicle width direction) of the cowl panel 3. Each opening 12 enables the cleaning liquid W to be ejected from a washer nozzle 30 disposed inside the cowl panel 3 (convex portion 10).

  On the inner side of the convex portion 10 of the cowl panel 3, a concave portion 13 having a concave shape is provided. The recessed portion 13 is provided with a nozzle mounting portion 15 for mounting a washer nozzle 30 in a portion where each opening 12 is provided.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the nozzle mounting portion 15 includes the glass side wall portion 11 and a mounting wall that extends downward in a plate shape from the inner surface of the cowl panel 3 so as to face the glass side wall portion 11. Part 16 and connecting wall parts 17 and 18 extended in the shape of a plate to connect both sides of mounting wall part 16 and glass side wall part 11, and four sides are provided in each wall part 11, 16 to 18. It is in the shape of an enclosed square cylinder.

  A mounting piece 19 is formed on the lower edge of the opening 12 in the glass side wall 11 so that both sides thereof are connected to the lower ends of the connecting wall portions 17 and 18 and project in a plate shape toward the mounting wall 16. . An opening having a substantially rectangular shape on the mounting wall 16 side of the mounting piece 19 is an insertion port 20, and the insertion port 20 has a housing recess 21 surrounded by the walls 11, 16 to 18 from below. A washer nozzle 30 is inserted and attached.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the washer nozzle 30 is made of resin and has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. The washer nozzle 30 is attached to the opening 12 side as a rear portion and attached to the attachment wall portion 16 as a front portion. The washer nozzle 30 is mounted with the front part facing the front side of the vehicle and the rear part facing the rear side of the vehicle.

  If it demonstrates from the rear part of the washer nozzle 30, the chip | tip fitting insertion hole 31 opened in a rectangular shape will be formed in the center of the rear surface of the washer nozzle 30. The chip insertion hole 31 extends to the front side of the washer nozzle 30. A nozzle chip (fluid element) 32 having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape is detachably mounted in the chip insertion hole 31.

  The nozzle tip 32 is formed with an injection hole 33 for injecting the cleaning liquid W at the rear end (opening side of the tip insertion hole 31). The nozzle chip 32 has a main flow path (not shown) that communicates with the injection hole 33 and a feedback flow path (not shown) that communicates from the downstream side to the upstream side of the main flow path. By returning to the main flow path, the cleaning liquid W in the main flow path is self-oscillated, and the spray of the cleaning liquid W from the spray hole 33 to the wiping surface 1a of the windshield 1 is diffusion spray (see FIG. 1). . Such a nozzle chip 32 is provided for each vehicle type, for example, and the body of the washer nozzle 30 can be shared among a plurality of vehicle types.

  A convex rear contact portion 34 is formed at the lower rear edge of the washer nozzle 30. The rear contact portion 34 is provided continuously in the width direction of the rear lower edge portion of the washer nozzle 30. The rear contact portion 34 contacts the upper surface of the mounting piece 19 provided at the lower edge of the opening 12.

  In addition, a rear elastic piece 35 is provided on the rear lower surface of the washer nozzle 30 slightly in front of the rear contact portion 34. The rear elastic piece 35 is formed narrower than the washer nozzle 30, and is provided at the center in the width direction of the washer nozzle 30. The rear elastic piece 35 is in contact with the lower surface of the mounting piece 19 provided at the lower edge of the opening 12 at the front end. In this case, the rear elastic piece 35 presses the lower surface of the mounting piece 19 with its own elastic force, and accordingly, gives an elastic force in the contact direction of the rear contact portion 34, The portion 34 is pressed against the upper surface of the mounting piece 19. The rear portion of the washer nozzle 30 is attached to the attachment piece 19 by sandwiching the attachment piece 19 between the rear elastic piece 35 and the rear contact portion 34.

  In addition, a restriction contact portion (first restriction contact portion) 36 that contacts the distal end surface of the mounting piece 19 is provided at the base end portion of the rear elastic piece 35. The restriction abutting portion 36 abuts against the tip surface of the mounting piece 19, thereby restricting (preventing) the protrusion of the washer nozzle 30 from the opening 12.

  On the other hand, at the center in the width direction on the lower surface of the front portion of the washer nozzle 30, a hose mounting portion 40 extending in a cylindrical shape toward the front obliquely lower side of the washer nozzle 30 is provided. A rubber hose 41 extending from a washer tank (not shown) mounted on the vehicle is mounted on the hose mounting portion 40 (see FIG. 2). The flow path in the hose mounting part 40 is connected to the base end part (the side opposite to the injection hole 33) of the main flow path of the nozzle chip 32. Then, by operating a washer pump (not shown), the cleaning liquid W is supplied from the washer tank to the washer nozzle 30 (nozzle tip 32) through the hose 41, so that the wiping surface 1a is ejected from the injection hole 33 of the washer nozzle 30. Thus, the spraying of the cleaning liquid W is performed.

  A plate-like front contact portion 42 is provided on the upper portion (width direction center) of the hose mounting portion 40 of the washer nozzle 30. Here, the mounting wall portion 16 is provided with a wall-side contact portion 25 with which the front end portion of the front-side contact portion 42 contacts. The wall-side contact portion 25 has its contact surface facing downward. The front end portion of the front contact portion 42 is in contact with the wall side contact portion 25, thereby restricting the front portion of the washer nozzle 30 from moving further upward.

  The front contact portion 42 is provided with a contact restriction portion 42a that faces the side surface portion 27 of the mounting wall portion 16 in the front-rear direction and abuts when the washer nozzle 30 moves forward. When the contact restricting portion 42 a is held in the normal posture of the washer nozzle 30 shown in FIG. 3, a gap T is set in the front-rear direction with respect to the side surface portion 27 of the mounting wall portion 16. The gap T is set to be smaller than the distance α between the front end surface of the mounting piece 19 and the rear contact portion 34. That is, when the washer nozzle 30 is about to move forward, the contact restricting portion 42 a contacts the side surface portion 27 of the mounting wall portion 16 before the rear contact portion 34 falls off from the upper surface of the mounting piece 19. Further, the forward movement of the washer nozzle 30 is restricted.

  Further, on the upper surface of the front portion of the washer nozzle 30, front elastic pieces 43 are provided on both sides of the front contact portion 42 and the hose attachment portion 40 in the width direction. Each front elastic piece 43 extends obliquely downward and forward.

  A locking projection 44 that protrudes in a substantially triangular shape toward the front of the washer nozzle 30 is formed at the approximate center of the front elastic piece 43. Here, the mounting wall portion 16 is formed with rectangular locking holes 26 on both sides of the wall-side contact portion 25 in the width direction. The locking projections 44 are inserted into the locking holes 26 to be locked with the lower edge 26a of the locking holes 26, thereby restricting the downward movement of the front portion of the washer nozzle 30. The washer nozzle 30 is prevented from falling off the nozzle mounting portion 15.

  A contact slope 45 is formed below the locking protrusion 44 of the front elastic piece 43 so as to be continuous with the locking protrusion 44. The contact slope 45 has a flat surface facing obliquely forward and downward, and contacts the lower edge portion 26a of the locking hole 26 in a state where the front contact portion 42 contacts the wall side contact portion 25. The contact slope 45 is pressed against the lower edge 26a of the locking hole 26 by the elastic force of the front elastic piece 43 itself. In this case, the abutting slope 45 presses the lower edge portion 26a of the locking hole 26, so that an elastic force is applied in the abutting direction of the front abutting portion 42, and the front abutting portion 42 is abutted on the wall side. While pressing the portion 25, an elastic force is applied also in the contact direction of the restriction contact portion 36 to press the restriction contact portion 36 against the distal end surface of the mounting piece 19.

  A front end portion of the front elastic piece 43 serves as an operation portion 46. The operation unit 46 tilts backward of the washer nozzle 30 against the elastic force of the front elastic piece 43 to remove the locking projection 44 from the locking hole 26 and attach the front portion of the washer nozzle 30 to the mounting wall portion 16. Is provided to cancel. Thereby, the washer nozzle 30 can be detached from the nozzle mounting portion 15.

  When the washer nozzle 30 having such a configuration is mounted in the nozzle mounting portion 15 (in the housing recess 21) (see FIG. 3), first, the rear portion of the washer nozzle 30 is obliquely upward (glass side wall portion 11) toward the insertion port 20. The rear elastic piece 35 and the rear contact portion 34 are hooked on the mounting piece 19 so as to sandwich the mounting piece 19.

  Next, the front end of the washer nozzle 30 is rotated upward with the contact portion of, for example, the rear elastic piece 35 hooked on the mounting piece 19 as a fulcrum, and the washer nozzle 30 is inserted into the receiving recess 21 from the insertion port 20. Is done. In this case, the front portion of the washer nozzle 30 is inserted into the insertion port 20 until the locking protrusion 44 of the front elastic piece 43 is inserted into the locking hole 26 while contacting the inner surface from the lower end of the mounting wall portion 16. Is done.

  Next, when the locking projection 44 of the front elastic piece 43 is inserted into the locking hole 26 of the mounting wall portion 16, the front elastic piece 43 is elastically restored and is provided so as to be continuous with the locking projection 44. The contact slope 45 abuts on the lower edge 26 a of the locking hole 26. In this case, the contact slope 45 presses the lower edge 26 a of the locking hole 26 by the elastic force of the front elastic piece 43, whereby the front portion of the washer nozzle 30 is pushed upward, and the front contact portion 42. Comes into contact with the wall-side contact portion 25.

  Even if the front contact portion 42 is in contact with the wall side contact portion 25, the contact slope 45 presses the lower edge portion 26 a of the locking hole 26 by the elastic force of the front elastic piece 43. As a result, the front contact portion 42 presses the wall side contact portion 25 and the regulation contact portion 36 is pressed against the distal end surface of the mounting piece 19. Thus, the washer nozzle 30 is mounted in the nozzle mounting portion 15 (accommodating recess 21) without rattling.

  When the washer nozzle 30 is attached, a rubber hose 41 extending from the washer tank side is attached to the hose attachment portion 40 of the washer nozzle 30 (see FIG. 2). The hose 41 is attached to the hose attachment part 40 while expanding its inner diameter. At this time, a relatively large mounting force acts on the hose mounting portion 40 in the mounting direction (backward and obliquely upward) of the hose 41 and tries to move the front portion of the washer nozzle 30 upward. In some cases, the front part of the washer nozzle 30 is moved upward and the rear part of the washer nozzle 30 is moved downward. In such a case, the front contact part 42 contacts the wall side contact part 25 at the front part of the washer nozzle 30 and the rear contact part 34 contacts the upper surface of the mounting piece 19 at the rear part. The front part of the nozzle 30 is prevented from moving upward, and the rear part of the washer nozzle 30 is prevented from moving downward.

  That is, since the mounting position of the washer nozzle 30 is prevented from shifting when the hose 41 is mounted, the cleaning liquid W on the wiping surface 1a of the windshield 1 can be prevented by preventing the elevation angle of the washer nozzle 30 from being shifted. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the water landing position from greatly deviating from the desired position. On the contrary, even if the mounting force of the hose 41 to the hose mounting portion 40 is released and the force in the direction opposite to the mounting direction acts on the washer nozzle 30 temporarily due to the weight of the hose 41 or the like, The posture is self-corrected by the elastic force of the elastic piece 43 and held in a normal posture.

  Further, after the washer nozzle 30 is mounted, when the washer nozzle 30 is pushed forward from the opening 12 side against the elastic force of the front elastic piece 43 by a high pressure car wash or a car wash brush or the like, the rear contact portion 34 is Since the gap T is set so that the abutment restricting portion 42a abuts against the side surface portion 27 of the attachment wall portion 16 before it comes off from the upper surface of the attachment piece 19, the washer nozzle 30 is also dropped in this case. It is prevented.

Next, characteristic actions and effects of the present embodiment will be described.
(1) The glass side wall portion 11 of the cowl panel 3 is provided with an opening 12 to which the rear portion of the washer nozzle 30 is attached, and the front portion of the washer nozzle 30 is attached to the recessed portion 13 inside the cowl panel 3. A mounting wall 16 is provided. On the other hand, the washer nozzle 30 is provided with an injection hole 33 at the rear part, and a hose attachment part 40 extending downward at the front part. Such a washer nozzle 30 is provided with a rear abutting portion 34 that abuts the upper surface of the mounting piece 19 at the lower edge of the opening 12 so as to restrict downward movement at the rear portion, and moves upward at the front portion. A front side abutting portion 42 that abuts against the wall side abutting portion 25 of the mounting wall portion 16 is provided for restriction. Here, when the hose 41 extending from the vehicle body side is attached to the hose attachment part 40, a relatively large attachment force acts on the hose attachment part 40 in the attachment direction of the hose 41, and the front part of the washer nozzle 30 is moved. In some cases, the front part of the washer nozzle 30 is moved upward and the rear part is moved downward. In such a case, the front contact part 42 contacts the wall side contact part 25 at the front part of the washer nozzle 30 and the rear contact part 34 contacts the upper surface of the mounting piece 19 at the rear part. It is possible to prevent the front portion of the nozzle 30 from moving upward and the rear portion from moving downward. In other words, since the mounting position of the washer nozzle 30 can be prevented from shifting when the hose 41 is mounted, the elevation angle of the washer nozzle 30 can be prevented from being shifted, and thus the landing of the cleaning liquid W on the wiping surface 1a of the windshield 1 can be prevented. It is possible to prevent the position from deviating greatly from the desired position.

  (2) A rear elastic piece 35 for applying an elastic force in the contact direction of the rear contact portion 34 is provided at the rear portion of the washer nozzle 30, and the front portion is elastic in the contact direction of the front contact portion 42. A front elastic piece 43 for applying force is provided. That is, since the rear contact portion 34 is pressed against the upper surface of the mounting piece 19 by the rear elastic piece 35 and the front contact portion 42 is pressed against the wall side contact portion 25 by the front elastic piece 43, the washer nozzle 30. Can be mounted on the cowl panel 3 (nozzle mounting portion 15) without rattling, and the displacement of the mounting position can be more reliably prevented.

  (3) The hose mounting part 40 is disposed in the center of the washer nozzle 30 in the width direction, and the front elastic pieces 43 provided in pairs are provided on both sides of the hose mounting part 40 in the width direction. That is, the mounting force when the hose 41 is mounted from the hose mounting portion 40 arranged in the center in the width direction acts on the washer nozzle 30 in a balanced manner in the width direction, and the front elastic pieces 43 on both sides of the hose mounting portion 40 Elastic force can be applied to the contact portion 42 in a balanced manner in the width direction. Therefore, the washer nozzle 30 can be stably supported, and the displacement of the mounting position of the washer nozzle 30 can be more reliably prevented.

  (4) The washer nozzle 30 is provided with a regulation abutting portion 36 that abuts against the front end surface of the mounting piece 19 so as to regulate the protrusion from the rear opening 12, and the front elastic piece 43 is a regulation abutting portion 36. Elastic force is also applied in the abutting direction. That is, the restricting contact portion 36 contacts the tip end surface of the mounting piece 19, thereby preventing the washer nozzle 30 from protruding from the opening 12, and the restricting contact portion 36 is moved by the front elastic piece 43. Since the surface is pressed, the washer nozzle 30 can be mounted on the cowl panel 3 (nozzle mounting portion 15) without rattling.

  Further, since the restricting contact portion 36 is provided integrally with the rear elastic piece 35, it is possible to contribute to simplification of the shape of the washer nozzle 30. In addition, since the front elastic piece 43 that applies elastic force in the contact direction of the front contact portion 42 is also configured to apply elastic force in the contact direction of the restricting contact portion 36, the elastic pieces can be shared. This also contributes to simplification of the shape of the washer nozzle 30.

  (5) The cowl panel 3 is provided with connecting wall portions 17 and 18 that connect the glass side wall portion 11 and the mounting wall portion 16 on both sides of the washer nozzle 30 in the width direction. That is, since the four sides of the nozzle mounting portion 15 are surrounded by continuous wall portions, the rigidity of the nozzle mounting portion 15 is increased. Therefore, for example, even if an external force is applied to the nozzle mounting portion 15, the nozzle mounting portion 15 is difficult to be deformed, so that the mutual locking state due to the deformation can be prevented from being released, thereby preventing the washer nozzle 30 from falling off. Can be prevented.

(Second Embodiment)
Hereinafter, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In addition, in the washer nozzle 50 of this Embodiment, the structure of the mounting part of the front part and a rear part is changed. In connection with this, the structure for mounting the washer nozzle 50 in the recessed portion 13 of the cowl panel 3 has also been changed. Therefore, in the following, these portions will be mainly described, and the same components as those in the first embodiment will be denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted.

  First, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 8, the front mounting portion of the washer nozzle 50 is extended downward in a plate shape from the inner surface to the inner surface of the cowl panel 3 (recessed portion 13). A mounting wall portion 60 for mounting the front portion of the washer nozzle 50 and a movement restricting portion 61 that protrudes in a plate shape so as to hang down toward the upper wall surface 50a of the washer nozzle 50 are provided. The mounting wall portion 60 has connecting wall portions 62 and 63 extending in a plate shape so as to connect the both sides in the width direction and the glass side wall portion 11, and the wall portions 11, 60, 62, and 63 have four sides. It has a rectangular tube shape surrounded by

  Further, the mounting wall 60 is provided with a notch 64 that is notched from the lower end in the center in the width direction and prevents interference with the hose 41 that is mounted on the hose mounting 40 of the washer nozzle 50. On both sides, there are provided locking portions 65 extending to lock the front elastic pieces 43 of the washer nozzle 50. The washer nozzle 50 is mounted such that the contact slope 45 provided on the front elastic piece 43 contacts the locking portion 65. At this time, due to the elastic force of the front elastic piece 43 itself, an elastic force is applied in the abutting direction of the front abutting portion 51 described later, and the front abutting portion 51 is pressed against the lower surface of the movement restricting portion 61, and will The washer nozzle 50 is mounted such that an elastic force is applied also in the contact direction of the regulating contact portion 53 to be pressed and the regulating contact portion 53 is pressed against the distal end surface of the mounting piece 19.

  The lower end of the movement restricting portion 61 extends downward to a position substantially equal to the upper edge portion of the opening 12 provided in the cowl panel 3. Further, the movement restricting portion 61 extends from the inner surface of one connecting wall portion 62 to a predetermined position near the other connecting wall portion 63 in the width direction. In the movement restricting portion 61, a pair of connecting wall portions 66 and 67 having a predetermined interval from the center in the width direction extend in parallel with the connecting wall portions 62 and 63 and are connected to the glass side wall portion 11, thereby ensuring a predetermined rigidity. ing. The movement restricting portion 61 is in contact with the front abutting portion 51 provided on the front side of the upper wall surface 50a of the washer nozzle 50 on the lower surface, and the front abutting portion on the rear side surface of the restricting portion 61.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the front contact portion 51 erected on the upper wall surface 50 a of the washer nozzle 50 has a semicircular cross section and is provided continuously over the entire width direction of the washer nozzle 50. That is, in the unlikely event that the washer nozzle 50 is mounted while being shifted in the width direction, the front contact portion 51 reliably contacts the lower surface of the movement restricting portion 61.

  In addition, on the upper wall surface 50 a of the washer nozzle 50, a restriction contact portion 52 is erected at the center in the width direction slightly behind the front contact portion 51. The restriction contact portion 52 is formed in a quadrangular prism shape having a substantially trapezoidal shape when viewed from the side and having a front surface (a surface facing the rear side surface of the movement restriction portion 61) forming a vertical surface. The restriction abutment portion 52 is normally attached to the attachment piece 19 at the attachment position of the washer nozzle 50 shown by the solid line in FIG. 6 by the elastic force of the front elastic piece 43 itself as described above. By being brought into contact with the front end surface, the movement restricting portion 61 is disposed away from the front end surface. On the other hand, when an external force that pushes the washer nozzle 50 forward from the opening 12 of the cowl panel 3 is applied, the front surface of the restricting contact portion 52 is moved against the elastic force of the front elastic piece 43. Movement to the position indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 6 that contacts the rear side surface is allowed, and further movement in the pushing direction (forward) is restricted. At this time, even when the washer nozzle 50 is pushed to the maximum pushing position indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 6, the state where the front contact portion 51 is in contact with the lower surface of the movement restricting portion 61 is maintained. Yes.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, a restricting contact portion (first restricting contact portion) 53 and a rear elastic piece 54 are individually provided in the rear mounting portion of the washer nozzle 50. . The restricting contact portion 53 has a rectangular cross section and is provided continuously over the entire width direction of the washer nozzle 50 slightly forward of the rear contact portion 34 provided at the lower rear edge of the washer nozzle 50. ing.
