Description

[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a vehicle air intake grill for introducing outside air into an engine room of an automobile or the like.
[0002]
[Prior art]
BACKGROUND ART A front hood for an automobile is rotatably supported by a front end of a vehicle body and is configured to open and close an engine room.
As such a front hood, there is known a front hood provided with an air intake grill for introducing outside air into an engine room to cool an engine room content (for example, an intercooler).
[0003]
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as this kind of vehicle air intake grille, for example, one configured as shown in FIG. 13 has been proposed. This air intake grill will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 and 14. In these drawings, the air intake grill indicated by reference numeral 201 includes a grill main body 202 and a vertical beam 203, and an upper opening of a front hood 302 in an automobile 301. It is attached to.
[0004]
The grill main body 202 has a grill upper 202a forming a grill upper part, a grill lower 202b forming a grill lower part, and a grill side 202c connecting these grill upper and lower parts. An air inlet 204 is formed at the center of the front surface of the grill main body 202 and opens in the front-rear direction of the hood (vehicle body).
The vertical beam 203 is composed of a plurality of beam members arranged side by side in the lateral direction of the hood (the width direction of the vehicle body), and is formed integrally with the grill upper 202a and the grill lower 202b.
[0005]
By the way, in the above-described front hood, it is desired that when the automobile collides with a pedestrian, the front hood is easily deformed by an impact on the grill upper.
This is because the size between the grill upper and the engine compartment contents is set to a relatively large size, so that the front hood is deformed in response to the impact on the grill upper and absorbs the impact, and the vehicle walks in the event of an automobile collision. This is because it is necessary to reduce as much as possible the impact received by the user from the grill upper.
[0006]
On the other hand, it is desired that the front hood is not easily deformed in response to an impact on the grill lower.
This is because the dimension between the grill lower and the engine room contents is set to be relatively small, so that the deformation of the front hood is suppressed and the reaction force to the grill lower due to interference with the engine room contents is reduced. This is because it is necessary to reduce as much as possible the impact that a pedestrian receives from the grill lower in the event of a car collision.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the conventional vehicle air intake grille, the vertical beam simply intervenes between the grill upper and the grill lower, so that the vertical beam functions as a reinforcing member against an impact on the grill upper, and the vehicle does not support the pedestrian. When the (grill upper) collided, the deformation of the front hood could not be suppressed and the impact could not be absorbed.
On the other hand, the longitudinal beam does not function as a reinforcing member against the impact on the grill lower, so that the front hood is easily deformed when a vehicle (grill lower) collides with a pedestrian, and the grill lower interferes with the engine room contents. Had received a relatively large reaction force.
