Abstract

PURPOSE:To smoothly discharge the muddy water which intrudes into between a car body panel and an installation basic part by forming a guiding inclined surface in a connection part between the installation basic part and a splashing protecting part and forming a discharge port and a weir on the guiding inclined surface. CONSTITUTION:A mud guard is constituted of an installation basic part 1 fixed onto a car body panel, splashing suppressing part 2 which is installed behind a tire, and a connection part 3 for connecting the both parts 1 and 2. In this case, the upper surface of the connection part 3 is inclined downward from the outside to the inner side of the car body, and formed into a guiding inclined surface 5 for guiding the flow of the muddy water (a). Further, a weir 6 is arranged at the inside edge part of the guiding inclined surface 5, and the muddy water (a) is damed up to prevent flow down. Further, a discharge port 8 which penetrates through an upper surface as the guiding inclined surface 5 and a lower surface 7 set close to the tire is formed in the connection part 3. Therefore, the muddy water (a) which intrudes into between a car body panel and the installation basic part 1 is smoothly discharged outside the vehicle.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial applications The present invention relates to a mudguard for an automobile.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Generally, mudguards have a structure as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.

This mudguard 100 includes a mounting base 1 fixed to a vehicle body panel, a splash prevention part 2 facing the rear of the tire, and a connecting part 3 connecting the mounting base 1 and splash prevention part 2 in a plane substantially perpendicular to these two members. are provided. When this mudguard 100 is attached to a vehicle body panel, muddy water a that has entered between the vehicle body panel and the mounting base 1 is removed from the mounting base l to the upper surface of the connecting portion 3, and from the upper surface of the connecting portion 3 to the splash prevention portion 2. It is designed to flow down to the rear surface. Arrow F in the figure indicates the front of the vehicle.

Furthermore, a conventional mudguard as shown in FIG. 4 has also been developed. In addition to the above-mentioned configuration, this mudguard has a guide groove 4 that is inclined toward the inside of the vehicle body in the mounting base 1, and the muddy water a that has entered between the vehicle body panel and the mounting base 1 is directed from the mounting base l to the guide groove 4. It is designed to flow along the inside of the vehicle.

Incidentally, these techniques are disclosed in, for example, Utility Model Application Publication No. 61-101074.
No. 61-104281 and the like.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the former mudguard 100, the structure is such that muddy water a flows down from the rear surface of the splash-avoiding part 2, which is visible from the outside, so it looks unsightly. There is a problem in that the muddy water a scatters from the rear surface of the splash avoidance part 2 and stains vehicle body panels such as fender panels.

In addition, the latter mudguard has a structure in which the muddy water a flows down from the inside direction of the vehicle body, but since the muddy water a flowing toward the inside direction of the vehicle body actually flows to the rear surface of the splash avoidance part 2 due to the driving wind, etc., the former A problem similar to that of mudguard 100 arises.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an automobile mudguard that can smoothly discharge muddy water that has entered between the vehicle body panel and the mounting base to the outside of the vehicle without staining the visible parts of the vehicle body.

Means for Solving the Problems As a means for solving the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a mounting base fixed to a vehicle body panel, a splash avoidance part facing the rear of the tire, and a connection between the mounting base and the splash avoidance part. In the mudguard, the connecting portion includes:
A guide slope inclined toward the inside of the vehicle body is formed, a discharge port is formed that communicates the guide slope with the lower surface of the tire side, and a weir is disposed on the downstream side of the discharge port of the guide slope. be.

By taking such measures, muddy water that has entered between the vehicle body panel and the mounting base flows from the mounting base towards the inside of the vehicle along the guide slope of the connection part, and after being stopped by the weir, it is connected from the discharge port. It flows down towards the bottom of the tire side.

Example Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIG.

Incidentally, the same reference numerals are used for the same parts as those shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, and the explanation of some overlapping parts will be omitted.

In FIG. 1, the basic structure of the mudguard according to the present invention is almost the same as that shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, such as that a mounting base 1 and a splash prevention part 2 are connected by a connecting part 3. However, only the structure of the connecting portion 3 is significantly different. The upper surface of the connecting part 3 slopes gently downward from the outer side of the vehicle body to the inner side (toward the front in the figure), and this part is covered with muddy water a.
It serves as a guide slope 5 that guides the flow of water. and,
A weir 6 is disposed at the end of the guide slope 5 on the inside of the car body, and the weir 6 stops the muddy water a flowing along the guide slope 5 so that it does not flow down from the end face of the connecting part 3 on the inside of the car body. That's what I do. Further, the connecting portion 3 is formed with a discharge port 8 that penetrates through the upper surface that becomes the guide slope 5 and the lower surface 7 on the side facing the tire (not shown). In this embodiment, the upper surface of the connecting portion 3, that is, the guide slope 5, is slightly inclined not only toward the inside of the vehicle body but also toward the mounting base 1, so that muddy water flowing along the guide slope 5 a
The water mainly passes through the boundary with the mounting base 1 and does not flow down to the rear of the vehicle body.

With the above configuration, the vehicle body panel and mounting base 1
When muddy water a enters the guide slope 5, this muddy water a enters the guide slope 5.
The liquid flows along the inside of the vehicle body, and flows directly downward from the discharge port 8 portion, or flows downward from the lower surface of the connecting portion 3 along the tire side surface of the splash prevention portion 2. Therefore, the muddy water a does not flow into the rear surface of the splash-avoiding part 2, and the muddy water a no longer stains this rear surface.

Although only the flow of muddy water a that has entered between the vehicle body panel and the mounting base 1 has been described here, it is not limited to muddy water a, but also wash water, rainwater, mud, dust, etc., which flow down in the same way. .

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, all the muddy water that has entered between the vehicle body panel and the mounting base passes through the guide groove and the discharge port and flows down to the tire side surface of the splash avoidance part. This prevents the appearance of the rear side of the vehicle from deteriorating and muddy water from splashing onto the vehicle body panels.

In addition, since the connection part has a discharge port, water drains well and has good ventilation, which prevents the car body panels from rusting due to water stagnation.

In addition, because water drains better, compared to conventional products, water can be removed easily.
Alternatively, cleaning with cleaning water becomes easier.
