An outer skin flange portion 53 is formed (see FIG. 3 and FIGS. 6A and 6B).

As shown in FIGS. 3, 5, and 6 (a), the front surface 50 </ b> F of the shielding material 50 is formed with a concave portion 54 in which the central portion in the vehicle width direction is recessed backward from the center in the vertical direction to the lower portion. doing.
As shown in FIG. 3, the concave portion 54 has both side surface portions on the fender panel 30 side and the hinge pillar 20 side extending rearward from the front surface in a state in which the shielding material 50 arranged in the shielding material arrangement space A is viewed in a horizontal section. 54f, 54p, a fender panel side surface portion 54f, and a bottom surface portion 54b connecting the hinge pillar side surface portion 54p.

By forming the recesses 54 on the front surface 50F of the shielding material 50, the front surfaces of both outer ends in the vehicle width direction of the shielding material 50, that is, both ends in the vehicle width direction of the front surface portion 50F of the shielding material 50 are formed. A protruding piece 55 is formed that protrudes further forward of the vehicle than the bottom surface portion 54b.
Here, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 6A, of the projecting pieces 55 and 55 at both ends in the vehicle width direction, the projecting piece 55 projecting on the fender panel 30 side is set as the fender panel side projecting piece 55f. At the same time, the protruding piece 55 protruding on the hinge pillar 20 side is set to the pillar-side protruding piece 55p.

With the above-described configuration, the front end portion (front end portion) of the protruding piece 55 has the above-described outer flange portion 53 protruding outward in the vehicle width direction (see FIG. 3).
In particular, the base end portion on the inner side in the vehicle width direction of the fender panel side protruding piece 55f has a predetermined angle (θ) formed by the side surface portion 54f and the bottom surface portion 54b on the fender panel 30 side in a range of 90 ° to 110 °. A corner portion 56f having an angle is formed (see FIG. 3).

For example, both the side surfaces are tapered in the thickness direction (vehicle front-rear direction) so that the width is gradually reduced from the front surface portion 50F to the rear (see FIG. 3).
In addition, the shielding material 50 is formed so that both end portions in the vertical direction are narrower than the central portion in correspondence with the vertical cross-sectional shape of the fender panel 30 described above so that the shielding material 50 can be arranged in the shielding material arrangement space A. (Refer FIG.5 and FIG.6 (a)), and the both ends of the up-down direction are formed in the shape where it curled back with respect to the center part (refer FIG.6 (b)).

The above-described shielding material 50 is inserted into the shielding material placement space A through the front opening Af until the rear surface 50R of the shielding material 50 comes into contact with the rear flange portion 33, so that the shielding material 50 is inserted. It arrange | positions in the shielding material arrangement | positioning space A in the state attached to the attachment location located in the arrangement | positioning space A, ie, the fender panel 30 and the hinge pillar outer 22, (refer FIG. 3).
3 and 7, the shape of the outer flange portion 53 on the fender panel 30 side is illustrated so that the angle formed by the outer flange portion 53 and the side surface portion on the fender panel 30 side is a substantially right angle. Although shown, for example, the outer flange portion 53 is slightly opened in the state in which the shielding material 50 is attached to the attachment location located in the shielding material arrangement space A, compared to before attachment to the attachment location. It is assumed that the angle formed by the flange portion 53 and the side surface portion on the fender panel 30 side may be slightly increased.
Further, in a state where the shielding material 50 is disposed in the shielding material arrangement space A, the rear surface portion 50R of the shielding material 50 is adhered to the rear end flange portion 33 of the fender panel 30 with a tape or the like as necessary. Also good.

  As described above, the side body structure 1 of the vehicle according to the present embodiment is shielded by the shielding material arrangement space A as a space portion surrounded by the fender panel 30 and the hinge pillar 20 as shown in FIGS. A side body structure of a vehicle in which a closing member 50 is disposed. The closing member 50 includes a main body 51 formed of an elastically deformable material and an outer skin 52 that covers an outer periphery of the main body 51. The outer skin portion 52 is formed and has an outer skin flange portion 53 protruding outward from the main body portion 51 in the vehicle width direction (see FIG. 3). A protruding piece 55 that protrudes forward of the vehicle from the bottom surface portion 54b at the inner side in the vehicle width direction with respect to the end portion and has a skin flange portion 53 at the tip end portion, and at least the fender panel of the protruding pieces 55, 55. A corner portion 5 at the base end portion on the inner side in the vehicle width direction of the side protruding piece 55f In which f is formed (see FIG. 3).

  According to the above configuration, in the state in which the shielding material 50 is arranged in the shielding material arrangement space A, the force of the outer skin flange portion 53 of the shielding material 50 pushing the fender panel 30 outward in the vehicle width direction is reduced. Appearance quality can be ensured without work.

  More specifically, normally, the shielding material is rebounded by urethane foam or the like in order to attach the shielding material to the fender panel 30 or the hinge pillar 20 while being attached to the attachment location located in the shielding material arrangement space A. It has a main body formed of a soft material having elastic deformation. However, due to the influence of variation in the resilience of each body part and the outer skin part covering the body part, such a shielding material has a resilience higher than expected. There is a case.

  On the other hand, there is a tendency to reduce the thickness of the fender panel 30 due to the increasing demand for weight reduction and to make the outer surface shape of the fender panel 30 into a shape that emphasizes design, but in such a case, the fender panel 30 There was a risk that it would be difficult to ensure sufficient rigidity.

  Due to the above-mentioned factors that each of the conventional shielding material and the fender panel 30 has, when the conventional shielding material that does not have a concave portion or a protruding piece formed on the front surface portion is attached to the attachment location, the front surface portion of the shielding material In particular, the outer flange portion provided on the outer side in the vehicle width direction abuts on the fender panel 30 and the fender panel 30 may be pushed out to the outer side in the vehicle width due to the repulsive force caused by the compression of the blocking material. As a result, the appearance quality may be deteriorated, for example, the outer surface of the fender panel 30 is uneven with respect to the outer surface of the door panel 83. In that case, it is necessary to ensure good quality by reworking and the like, resulting in a problem that man-hours and costs increase.

  On the other hand, the side body structure 1 of the vehicle of the present embodiment described above has the shielding material 50 arranged in the shielding material arrangement space A as shown in FIGS. 3, 5, and 6 (a). In the state, a corner portion 56f is formed at the base end portion on the inner side in the vehicle width direction as a protruding piece 55 protruding forward on the outer end portion in the vehicle width direction of the front surface 50F of the shielding member 50, that is, the end portion on the fender panel 30 side. The formed fender panel side protruding piece 55f is provided.

  As a result, even if there is a variation in resilience among the individual shielding materials 50, there is a material that has a resilience greater than expected, and the fender is formed by the outer skin flange portion 53 of the shielding material 50, particularly in the vehicle width direction outside. Even if the force pushing out the panel 30 is applied, as shown in FIG. 7, the fender panel side protruding piece 55 f provided on the outer side in the vehicle width direction extends from the corner 56 f to the inner side in the vehicle width direction (hinge pillar) according to the rigidity of the fender panel 30. 20 side) and is deformed (see the arrow in FIG. 7). Thereby, especially the force which pushes the fender panel 30 to the vehicle width direction outer side by the outer skin flange part 53 of the shielding material 50 is relieve | moderated, and external appearance quality can be ensured, without reworking etc.

  Further, by forming the fender panel side protruding piece 55f having the corner 56f formed at the base end portion on the inner side in the vehicle width direction on the shielding material 50, the resilience of the shielding material 50 can be controlled and manufactured. The influence of the variation in the resilience of the individual shielding material 50 for each individual can be easily mitigated without performing tuning in the process, reviewing the amount of material used or selecting the material.

  In addition, according to the above-described configuration, the shielding member 50 can be firmly disposed by pressure contact so as to be sandwiched between the fender panel 30 and the hinge pillar 20 without a special attachment member such as a clip. Cost can be reduced.

  In one embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 5, when the upper portion 30u of the fender panel 30 has a smaller radius of curvature than the lower portion 30d in a state in which the fender panel 30 is viewed in a longitudinal section, the protruding piece 55 is shielded. The closing member 50 is provided at least in the lower part 30d in the vertical direction.

  According to the said structure, the rigidity balance of the fender panel 30 and the shielding material 50 can be maintained also in the lower part 30d with a curvature radius larger than the upper part 30u in the fender panel 30. FIG.

  More specifically, the fender panel 30 has a shape in which the curvature radius (Ru) of the upper portion 30u of the fender panel 30 is smaller than the curvature radius (Rd) of the lower portion in a longitudinal sectional view (see FIG. 5). In the case of such a shape, in the state in which the shielding material 50 is disposed in the shielding material arrangement space A, that is, at the time of being attached to the fender panel 30 and the hinge pillar 20 by pressure contact, the lower portion 30d of the fender panel 30 has a fender panel. It is difficult to maintain the rigidity balance between the shielding member 50 having the outer flange portion 53 on which a force for pushing out 30 acts and the fender panel 30 on which the force for pressing the shielding member 50 toward the hinge pillar 20 acts. There is a risk of becoming.

  However, according to the above configuration, the fender panel side protruding piece 55f having the corner portion 56f formed at the base end portion on the inner side in the vehicle width direction is provided at least at the lower portion in the up-down direction of the shielding member 50, so that FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the projecting piece 55 is deformed from the corner portion 56f in accordance with the rigidity of the fender panel 30, so that the force pushing the fender panel 30 outward in the vehicle width direction is alleviated. Even in the lower portion 30d having a large curvature radius, the rigidity balance between the fender panel 30 and the blocking material 50 can be maintained.

  In the embodiment of the present invention, the corner portion 56f has an angle (θ) of 90 ° to 110 ° (see FIGS. 3 and 7).

  According to the above configuration, by setting the corner portion 56f to an angle of 90 ° or more, the portion corresponding to the corner portion 56f of the blocking member 50 in the molding die is prevented from being an acute-angled reverse taper, and the protruding piece 55 It is possible to reliably and easily create the shielding material 50 having Further, by setting the corner portion 56f to an angle of 110 ° or less, the fender panel-side protruding piece 55f can be reliably bent and deformed from the corner portion 56f, and the shielding material 50 is provided with the fender according to the rigidity of the fender panel 30. In particular, the force that pushes the panel 30 outward in the vehicle width direction can be reduced. Particularly, the corner portion 56f is formed at the base end portion on the inner side in the vehicle width direction of the fender panel side protruding piece 55f having the outer flange portion 53 at the distal end portion. An effect can be acquired effectively.

  In one embodiment of the present invention, the attachment portion 60 of the rear portion of the fender panel 30 to the vehicle body is provided only in the upper attachment portion 60u provided in the upper portion 30u of the rear portion of the fender panel 30 and the lower attachment portion 60d provided in the lower portion 30d. The concave portion 54 is provided at a position including at least the central portion 30m in the vertical direction of the rear portion of the fender panel 30 (see FIG. 5).

  According to the above configuration, since the mounting portion 60 to the vehicle body is not provided in the center portion 30m in the vertical direction of the rear portion of the fender panel 30, the fender panel 30 is normally disposed in the vehicle width direction by the outer flange portion 53. Although it is easy to be pushed outward, the rigidity of the fender panel 30 is reduced by providing the concave portion 54 in the central portion 30m in the vertical direction of the shielding member 50 while reducing the mounting portion 60 of the fender panel 30 on the vehicle body side. Accordingly, it is possible to reliably obtain the effect that the blocking material 50 can relieve the force of pushing the fender panel 30 outward in the vehicle width direction.

In the correspondence between the configuration of the present invention and the above-described embodiment,
The pillar of the present invention corresponds to the hinge pillar 20 of the embodiment.
The space part corresponds to the shielding material arrangement space A,
The flange portion corresponds to the outer flange portion 53,
The inner part in the vehicle width direction with respect to the outer end corresponds to the bottom part 54b,
Although at least one of the vehicle front-rear directions corresponds to the front of the vehicle, the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above-described embodiment.

  For example, the shielding material 50 is not particularly limited as long as it includes at least a fender panel side protruding piece 55f that bends inward in the vehicle width direction from the corner portion 56f.

  Specifically, the concave portion 54 is formed in a state in which the shielding material 50 arranged in the shielding material arrangement space A is viewed in a horizontal cross section, and the side surface portions 54f and 54p and the bottom surface portion 54b on the fender panel 30 side and the hinge pillar 20 side. Without being provided with the hinge pillar side side surface portion 54p, for example, a fender panel side side surface portion 54f, and an inclined slope such that the depth gradually decreases from the fender panel side side surface portion 54f to the hinge pillar 20 side. For example, the front surface portion 50F of the shielding member 50 is formed flat except for the fender panel side protruding piece 55f, and the hinge pillar side protruding piece 55p is not provided. You may comprise.

  Further, in the shielding material 50, the concave portion 54, that is, the fender panel side protruding piece 55f and the hinge pillar side protruding piece 55p are formed only on the front surface portion 50F, but the fender panel side protruding piece 55f and the hinge pillar side protruding piece 55p are formed. Further, it may be formed only on the rear surface portion 50R or on both the rear surface portion 50R and the front surface portion 50F.

  In this way, when the fender panel side protruding piece 55f and the hinge pillar side protruding piece 55p are formed only on the rear surface portion 50R of the blocking material 50, the blocking material proceeds forward from the rear surface portion 50R. For example, both side surfaces can be tapered in the thickness direction (vehicle longitudinal direction) so that the width gradually decreases.

  As described above, the present invention is, for example, a vehicle side body structure in which a shielding material is disposed in a space surrounded by a fender panel and a pillar, and the shielding material is elastically deformable.
