Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] [Industrial application field]

This invention relates to an improvement in the structure of a rear spoiler that is housed in the upper rear corner of a vehicle in order to improve running stability when the vehicle is running at high speed.

[Conventional technology]

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the rear spoiler of an automobile includes a retainer 2 fixed to the rear upper corner of a trunk lid 1 or a hatchback type rear gate door, and a retainer 2 that covers the outside of the retainer 2. A spoiler cover 3 made of soft resin is attached to the spoiler cover 3. The retainer 2 is fixed to the trunk lid 1 by a clip 4, a welt bolt (not shown), and a nut 5. In contrast to this retainer 2, the spoiler cover 3 has a front end insertion portion 3A and a rear end insertion portion 3B each having a substantially V-shaped cross section, as shown in FIG.
are inserted into the front and rear ends of the retainer 2, respectively. In the figure, reference numeral 6 indicates a tape attached to the contact surface of the spoiler cover 3 and the trunk lid 1 to prevent damage to the paint film of the trunk lid 1, and 7 indicates a tape interposed between the spoiler cover 3 and the rear upper end of the retainer 2. , a spacer for preventing the rear end of the spoiler cover 3 from hanging down. Such a spoiler cover 3 is generally made of a soft resin such as urethane elastomer, so if you lightly lift the rear lower end of the spoiler cover 3 with your fingers when it is assembled to the body,
There is a problem in that only the spoiler cover 3 is lifted upward and a gap is created between it and the trunk lid 1. In order to prevent such a gap from occurring, adhesive tape and resin parts may be attached to the rear lower end of the retainer 2, but in this case, manufacturing costs increase and the productivity of the rear spoiler decreases. A problem arises. Furthermore, there is a problem in that the function of preventing the generation of a gap between the spoiler cover 3 and the trunk lid 1 is insufficient. Another problem is that rainwater tends to accumulate on the V-shaped bottom surface of the rear end insertion portion 3B of the spoiler cover 3.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

This idea was made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and it is possible to avoid creating a gap between the spoiler cover and the trunk lid even if the rear lower end of the spoiler cover is lifted, without using adhesive tape or resin parts. In addition, it is an object of the present invention to provide a rear spoiler structure for an automobile that prevents water from accumulating in the rear end insertion part.

[Means to solve the problem]

This invention includes a retainer fixed to a rear upper corner of a vehicle, a soft resin spoiler cover including a rear end insertion portion having a substantially V-shaped cross section that is inserted from below into at least the back side of the rear lower end of the retainer; In the rear spoiler structure for an automobile, a step portion is formed at the tip of the rear end insertion portion to abut against and position the rear lower end of the retainer, and a V-shaped portion of the rear end insertion portion is formed. The above object is achieved by forming the bottom surface so that it becomes gradually lower from the central part in the vehicle width direction toward both ends, and by providing drain holes extending downward from the V-shaped bottom surface at both ends in the vehicle width direction. It is.

[Effect]

In this invention, the rear end insertion part of the spoiler cover is positioned by coming into contact with the tip of the rear lower end of the retainer, so even if the rear lower part of the spoiler cover is lifted, there is no gap between it and the body side. There is no. Further, since the V-shaped bottom surface of the rear end insertion portion is gradually lowered from the center in the vehicle width direction to both ends, and water drain holes are formed at both ends, water does not accumulate in the rear end insertion portion.

【Example】

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, this embodiment includes a retainer 12 fixed to the rear upper corner of a trunk lid 11 of an automobile, and a substantially V-shaped cross section inserted into the rear lower rear side of the retainer 12 from below. In a rear spoiler structure for an automobile comprising a soft resin spoiler cover 13 having a rear end insertion portion 13B, a rear end portion 12B of the retainer 12 is provided at the tip of the rear end insertion portion 13B. A stepped portion 18 is formed to abut against each other for positioning. Further, in this embodiment, the rear end insertion 1
The V-shaped tip part of 3B is made thinner than the general part, and the V-shaped bottom surface 19 is formed to be gradually lower from the center part in the vehicle width direction toward both ends, and at both ends in the vehicle width direction. Said V-shaped bottom surface 19
A drainage hole 20 is provided that allows water to drain downward. Since the other configurations are the same as the conventional rear spoiler structure shown in FIG. 4, the same reference numerals as in FIG. 4 will be given and the explanation will be omitted. In this embodiment, a stepped portion 18 is formed at the tip of the rear end insertion portion 13B of the spoiler cover 13, and this stepped portion 18 abuts against and positions the rear lower end portion tip 12B of the retainer 12, so that the spoiler cover Even if you lift the rear lower end of 13,
By the stepped portion 18 coming into contact with the rear lower end tip 12B of the retainer 12, the rear lower end of the spoiler cover 13 is prevented from floating up from the trunk lid 11. Therefore, the rear lower end of the spoiler cover 13 There is no gap between the trunk lid 11 and the trunk lid 11. Further, in this embodiment, the rear end insertion portion 13
Since the V-shaped tip part B is thinner than the general part, the rear end insertion part 13B can be easily deformed, and therefore, it can be easily assembled to the retainer 12. In this case, the front end insertion portion 13A is not made thin;
There is no problem if the side is attached to the retainer 12 and then the rear end insertion part 13B is attached to the retainer 12. Further, in this embodiment, the V-shaped bottom surface 19 of the rear end insertion portion 13B is highest at the center portion in the vehicle width direction of the spoiler cover 13, and gradually becomes lower toward both end portions in the vehicle width direction. Therefore, all water that enters the inside of the rear end insertion portion 13B during car washing or rainy weather is guided along the V-shaped bottom surface 19 to both ends in the vehicle width direction. Drain holes 20 that drain downward are formed at both ends in the vehicle width direction, so all water that is led to the V-shaped bottom surface 19 and reaches both ends in the vehicle width direction is drained to the outside from the drain holes 20. be done. Therefore, when the trunk lid 11 is opened,
There is no chance of water dripping into the trunk. Furthermore, since the spoiler cover 13 can be inserted into the retainer 12, conversion is easy, and it is economical because only the spoiler cover 13 needs to be replaced. Note that in the above embodiment, the spoiler cover 13
Although the stepped portion 18 formed at the tip of the rear end insertion portion 13B is configured to abut against the lower end surface and back side of the rear lower end portion tip 12B of the retainer 12, the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, the stepped portion 18 may have the function of positioning the rear end insertion portion 13B with respect to the rear lower end tip 12B of the retainer 12. Therefore, the stepped portion 18 may be
It may also be in the shape of a recess that also comes into contact with the front surface of the rear end lower end tip 12B of the retainer 12. Furthermore, although the above-mentioned embodiment relates to a structure in which a spoiler is attached to the rear upper corner of the trunk lid 11, the present invention is not limited to this, and the spoiler is attached to the rear upper corner or the rear upper corner of a hatchback type rear gate door. This also applies to cases where a spoiler is attached to the upper rear corner of the roof.

[Effect of the idea]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it is possible to prevent the generation of a gap between the spoiler cover and the body side when lifting the spoiler cover without using adhesive tape or resin parts, and also to prevent the spoiler cover from being attached to the retainer. This has the excellent effect of improving the workability of attaching the cover and preventing water from accumulating inside the rear end insertion part.
