That is, the width dimension of the light emission gap 95b is preferably set within a range of 1 mm to 10 mm. If the width dimension is smaller than 1 mm, a sufficient amount of light cannot be emitted through the light emitting gap 95b. On the other hand, if the width dimension is larger than 10 mm, the presence of the light emitting gap 95b increases and the design is improved. May decrease. From this viewpoint, it is more preferable that the width dimension of the light emission gap 95b is set within a range of 1 mm to 5 mm.

  An inner turn lamp light guide 96 is routed in the internal space of the wing frame portion 92. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, the inner turn lamp light guide 96 is provided between the upper inclined wall 955 of the upper wing portion 951 and the lower inclined wall 960 of the lower wing portion 952. The pieces 956 and 961 are arranged on the rear side of the rear end edge.

<< Assembly of decoration member 9 and front grill 6 >>
The decorative member 9 configured as described above is attached to the front grill 6. Specifically, the grill frame portion 91 of the decorating member 9 is attached to the center grill 61 of the front grill 6. In this attached state, the grill frame portion 91 is disposed so as to cover the center grill 61 and the peripheral edge portion of the grill opening 5a of the fascia base 5 over a substantially entire length and to hide the boundary in the front view.

  On the other hand, the wing frame portion 92 of the decorating member 9 is attached to the extension grill 62 by fitting the mounting boss portion 953a of the bracket 953 into a proper position of the extension grill 62 of the front grill 6 as shown in FIG. It has been. In this attached state, as shown in FIG. 6, the wing frame portion 92 has the front end edges 92 b to 92 e disposed substantially in front of the fascia base 5 at the height position, and at the front end edges 92 b to 92 e. The inner turn lamp light guide 96 emits light through the light emitting gap 95b. The wing frame portion 92 is disposed in front of the front opening 86 a of the housing 81 of the lamp unit 8 so that traveling wind is guided to the upper part of the internal space of the housing 81 as the vehicle 1 travels.

[Function and effect]
According to the front part structure of the vehicle 1 according to the present embodiment described above, the decoration member 9 having the upper inclined wall 955 is disposed in front of the front opening 86a in the housing 81 of the lamp unit 8. The traveling wind directly introduced from the front opening 86a and the traveling wind guided by the decoration member 9, specifically, the upper inclined wall 955 of the wing frame portion 92 so as to tilt upward toward the rear of the vehicle, A wide range in the height direction including the upper part of the lamp body 82 can be efficiently cooled, and an improvement in the cooling performance of the lamp body 82 can be achieved.

  Further, the front end edge of the inner wall 861 of the housing 81 is disposed adjacent to the front grill opening 5a, so that the inner edge in the vehicle width direction of the front opening 86a is disposed adjacent to the front grill opening 5a. Accordingly, the front opening 86a can be provided as wide as possible along the vehicle width direction, and more traveling wind can be guided into the housing 81.

  Further, since the cylinder head lamp 35 is disposed at a position biased outward in the vehicle width direction in the housing 81, a large amount of traveling wind can be taken from the front opening 86a inside the cylinder head lamp 35 in the vehicle width direction. Can do. In addition, since the wing frame portion 92 is disposed in front of the front opening 86a on the inner side of the cylinder head lamp 35 in the vehicle width direction, as shown in FIG. Thus, it is possible to generate an airflow that flows in the upper part of the internal space of the housing 81, and the upper airflow can expose the upper part of the cylinder head lamp 35 and the light emitting auxiliary device 31 to the traveling wind.

  Further, since the front surface of the cylinder head lamp 35 is exposed forward, the cylinder head lamp 35 can be exposed to traveling wind flowing from the front. Moreover, since the cylinder head lamp 35 has the intermediate slope portion 357, as shown in FIG. 9, the intermediate slope portion of the cylinder head lamp 35 is also applied to traveling wind flowing into the housing 81 from the front of the cylinder head lamp 35. Since the cylinder head lamp 35 is diffused in four directions along the 357 so as to cover the periphery of the cylinder head lamp 35, the cylinder head lamp 35 itself can be efficiently cooled and the heat dissipating portion disposed in the four sides of the cylinder head lamp 35 38, the light emitting auxiliary machine 31 and the like can also be efficiently cooled.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the inclination angle becomes smaller as the lower inclined wall 960 of the wing frame portion 92 goes outward in the vehicle width direction, and traveling wind is generated at the outer end portion of the lower inclined wall 960 in the vehicle width direction. Since it also functions as a rectifying plate that leads downward, the lower part of the lamp body 82 can also be sufficiently cooled.

  That is, according to the front structure of the vehicle 1 of the present embodiment, the entire lamp body 82 can be efficiently cooled in the height direction by the traveling wind, and the cooling performance of the lamp body 82 is sufficiently improved. be able to.

  Moreover, since the wing frame portion 92 for guiding the traveling wind is a constituent member of the decoration member 9 protruding forward from the fascia base body 5, the front portion of the vehicle 1 can be decorated in three dimensions. Since the decoration member 9 can be effectively used to guide the traveling wind, it is less noticeable than the case where the airflow guide portion is provided as a dedicated product and can be adapted to the exterior of the vehicle 1.

  Moreover, since the cooling performance of the lamp body 82 can be ensured even if the upper wall portion 87 of the housing 81 is configured to be forwardly lowered as in the present embodiment, the upper wall portion 87 is changed according to the inclination of the bonnet 3. In addition, the light emitting auxiliary device 31 such as the AFS actuator 311 and the lamp control unit 312 can be arranged in the upper rear part of the internal space of the housing 81.
