Description

  The present invention relates to an engine compartment structure for a vehicle body.

  Conventionally, an engine compartment of a vehicle is disposed, for example, at the front part of the vehicle body, and includes a shroud member provided at the front end of the vehicle body, an upper hood ridge member and a lower side member disposed at the vehicle body side, The hood ridge member and the dash panel disposed at the rear end of the side member are defined (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

The hood ridge member and the side member are respectively extended along the vehicle front-rear direction, and are arranged at a predetermined interval in the vertical direction.
JP-A-5-85407

  However, in the conventional example, when a load in the vertical direction is input to the engine compartment, the load is mainly received by a skeleton member such as a hood ridge member or a side member. Therefore, in order to keep the rigidity of the engine compartment high, there is a problem that the cost of parts is improved by increasing the thickness of a skeleton member such as a hood ridge member or using a high-strength material. It was.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an engine compartment structure for a vehicle body that can ensure high rigidity with respect to an input load at low cost.

In order to achieve the above object, an engine compartment structure for a vehicle body according to the present invention is arranged on the upper side of an engine compartment provided outside a passenger compartment and extends in the vehicle front-rear direction, and the upper skeleton member A lower skeleton member disposed below the member and extending in the vehicle front-rear direction, a front connection member that connects the front ends of the upper skeleton member and the lower skeleton member, and the rear of the upper skeleton member and the lower skeleton member A rear connecting member that connects the ends, and a first skeleton member that is disposed between the front connecting member and the rear connecting member and extends in the vertical direction, and connects the upper skeleton member and the lower skeleton member up and down. And . The engine compartment comprises a front engine compartment disposed on the vehicle front side, and a rear engine compartment disposed on the vehicle rear side and formed separately from the front engine compartment, the front engine compartment Alternatively, one of the rear engine compartments is formed in a ring shape in a side view, and the front engine compartment and the rear engine compartment are connected to each other to form a ring shape in a side view in the front part and the rear part of the engine compartment. The formed front side cyclic skeleton part and rear side cyclic skeleton part are formed .

  According to the present invention, the front and rear portions of the engine compartment are respectively formed with a front annular skeleton portion and a rear annular skeleton portion that are annularly configured in a side view, so that the rigidity of the engine compartment portion of the vehicle body is increased. In particular, the rigidity against the input load in the vertical direction can be greatly improved. Accordingly, the plate thickness of the constituent members of the engine compartment can be reduced, and the vehicle weight and cost can be reduced.
