Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vehicle air spoiler, and more particularly to a structure for mounting an air spoiler arranged on an upper peripheral edge of a rear window panel.

Prior Art FIGS. 5 and 6 show a conventional structure, in which 1 is a rear panel 4.
An air spoiler that is provided from the upper edge portion to the left and right side portions and surrounds the upper peripheral edge portion of the rear window panel 5 is shown. The air spoiler 1 is composed of a spoiler main portion 2 continuous with the roof 6 surface and spoiler leg portions 3 on both sides thereof, and the wear spoiler 1 is formed into a substantially wedge-shaped open section having a sharp trailing edge. There is. The end of the inner wall 2a of the spoiler main portion 2 of the air spoiler 1 hits the weather strip 7 (which may be a window molding) on the upper edge of the rear window panel 5, so there is no particular problem, but the spoiler main portion 2 If the edge of the outer wall 2b or the edge of the spoiler leg portion 3 interferes with the rear panel 4 surface, the rear panel 4 surface is damaged. For this reason, conventionally, an end rubber 9 fitted to these edges is provided between the outer wall 2b edge of the spoiler main portion 2 and the edge of the spoiler leg portion 3 and the rear panel 4 surface. Rear panel 4
I try to protect the surface. Further, as described above, even if the end rubber 9 is interposed between the outer wall 2b edge of the spoiler main portion 2 and the rear panel 4 surface, the amount of water flowing backward from the roof 6 surface is relatively large, and the end rubber 9 is relatively large. It cannot be denied that water flows into the air spoiler 1 from between the rubber 9 and the rear panel 4 surface. Further, although this inflowing water flows down the surface of the rear panel 4, as described above, since the air spoiler 1 is formed in a generally wedge-shaped open cross section,
The lower corner portion 10 of the spoiler leg portion 3 becomes sharp, and water accumulates in the lower corner portion 10. Therefore, as a measure against this drainage, conventionally, as shown in the fifth and sixth drawings, the outer peripheral rubber 11 of the lower corner portion 11 of the end rubber 9 is used.
a A drain hole 12 is formed on the bottom surface so that water collected in the lower corner portion 10 of the spoiler leg 3 can be smoothly drained from the drain hole 12 to the side panel 8 surface connected to the rear panel 4. This similar structure is, for example,
No. 93 publication.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention As described above, when the drainage guide is provided to the side panel 8 surface of the vehicle body through the water drain hole 12, the side panel 8 surface is flooded and the appearance is significantly impaired. Further, as the lower corner portion 10 of the spoiler leg portion 3 becomes sharper, the lower corner portion 11 of the end rubber 9 also becomes sharper, so that the lower corner portion 11 of the end rubber 9 is turned over. There is a problem that it is easy to lose quality and reliability. Therefore, the present invention can avoid the occurrence of flooding of the vehicle body panel due to the drainage from the lower corner portion of the spoiler leg portion, and prevent the sharpened lower corner portion of the end rubber from curling up. The appearance,
(EN) A vehicle air spoiler mounting portion structure that can further enhance the quality.

Means for Solving the Problems A substantially wedge shape that surrounds the upper peripheral edge portion of a rear window panel by a spoiler main portion continuous to the roof surface and spoiler leg portions on both sides from the upper edge portion of the rear panel to both left and right sides. In the structure in which an air spoiler formed in the open cross section is disposed, and an end rubber fitted to the edge is interposed between the edge of the air spoiler and the rear panel surface, In the corner portion, a sloped surface that fits into the lower corner portion of the spoiler leg portion and that extends over the outer peripheral portion of the end rubber and the inner peripheral portion of the end rubber is formed on the inner peripheral portion side of the end rubber to guide the drainage. A triangular pyramid-shaped dam block is integrally molded, and the water flowing down along the inclined surface of the dam block is drained to the rear window panel side on the bottom surface of the inner peripheral part of the end rubber. The drainage hole is formed.

Action When water that flows backward from the roof surface penetrates between the end rubber at the edge of the spoiler main part and the rear panel surface and flows into the air spoiler, this infiltrated water flows along both sides of the rear panel at the lower end of the spoiler leg. It flows down in the direction,
The flow reaches the dam block and the flow is diverted toward the drainage hole by the inclined surface, and the water is smoothly drained from the drainage hole to the rear window panel side.

Embodiment Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings by attaching the same reference numerals to the same portions as those of the conventional configuration.

In FIGS. 1 to 4, an air spoiler 1 that is provided from the upper edge of the rear panel 4 to both left and right sides and surrounds the upper peripheral edge of the rear window panel 5 is a spoiler main portion that is continuous with the roof 6 surface. 2 and the spoiler leg portions 3 on both sides of the air spoiler 1.
A point formed on a substantially wedge-shaped open cross section whose rear edge is an acute angle, and an end edge of the inner wall 2a of the spoiler main portion 2 is brought into contact with the upper side portion of the weather strip 7 to form an outer wall 2b of the spoiler main portion 2. The basic structure is the same as that of the conventional one, such as an end rubber, an end rubber 9 fitted to each of the edges, between the edge of the spoiler leg portion 3 and the rear panel 4 surface. is there. Here, the lower corner portion 11 of the end rubber 9 includes the sharp lower corner portion of the spoiler leg portion 3.
The triangular pyramid-shaped dam block 13 that is fitted to the end rubber 10 and that has an inclined surface 14 extending over the end rubber outer peripheral portion 11a and the end rubber inner peripheral portion 11b to guide the drainage toward the end rubber inner peripheral portion 11b side. Is integrally molded. In addition, the inclined surface 14 of the dam block 13 is provided on the bottom surface of the inner peripheral portion 11b of the end rubber.
A drain hole 12A for draining water flowing down along the rear window panel 5 side is formed.

According to the above-described structure of the embodiment, part of the water flowing backward from the roof 6 surface penetrates between the end rubber 9 fitted to the edge of the outer wall 2b of the spoiler main portion 2 and the rear panel 4 surface to generate air. The inflowing water flows into the spoiler 1 and flows down along the both sides of the rear panel 4 toward the lower end of the spoiler leg 3. When this flowing water reaches the dam block 13 formed integrally with the lower corner portion 11 of the end rubber 9, it is received by the inclined surface 14 and the flow changes along the inclined surface 14 toward the drain hole 12A side. Be directed. Therefore, the spilled water collects toward the drain hole 14A, and the drain hole 12A
The water is drained onto the rear window panel 5 surface where there is no problem of flooding. Here, apart from such drainage effect, as described above, the lower corner portion 11 of the end rubber 9 is
Is formed in a sharpened shape according to the edge shape of the sharpened lower corner portion 10 of the spoiler leg portion 3 and tends to turn up easily, but the lower corner portion 11 of the end rubber 9 has a dam. Since the block 13 is integrally formed and the dam block 13 is formed in a triangular pyramid shape and is fitted in the lower corner portion 10 of the spoiler leg portion 3, the lower corner portion 11 of the end rubber 9 is formed. You can suppress the curling up. Also, since the dam block 13 is fitted to the lower corner portion 10 of the spoiler leg portion 3 in this way,
There is an advantage that the rigidity of the lower corner portion 10 can be increased.

The present invention can be applied to a back door type vehicle as well, in which case the rear panel is replaced with a back door frame and the rear window panel is replaced with a back door window panel.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION As described above, according to the present invention, in the lower corner portion of the end rubber, water that fits into the lower corner portion of the spoiler leg portion and flows down along the rear panel surface in the spoiler leg portion. Is formed integrally with a triangular pyramid-shaped dam block having an inclined surface for guiding and draining the end rubber to the inner peripheral side, and the bottom surface of the inner peripheral part of the end rubber is gathered along the inclined surface. Since a drain hole for draining the flowing water to the rear window panel side is formed, all the invading water that has flowed into the air spoiler can be drained to the rear window panel surface where water reclamation does not occur from this drain hole. it can.
Therefore, unlike the conventional case, water is not cultivated on the rear panel surface or the vehicle body side panel surface, and the appearance and quality can be remarkably improved. Further, the lower corner portion of the end rubber is formed in a sharp shape in accordance with the shape of the lower corner portion of the spoiler leg portion and tends to turn up easily, but as described above, the triangular pyramidal dam block is used. Since it is fitted to the lower corner of this spoiler leg, the end rubber can be reliably prevented from turning up, and the dam block functions as a reinforcing material, and the lower corner of the spoiler leg is The rigidity of the part can be increased, which has a great practical effect that the appearance and quality can be further improved.
