Door mirror structure
A door mirror structure includes a door mirror for a vehicle, and an airflow guide provided at an end portion on a vehicle rear side on an upper surface of the door mirror. The airflow guide guides traveling wind such that the traveling wind generated when the vehicle is traveling flows to a vehicle outer side along the airflow guide.
1 . A door mirror structure comprising:
a door mirror for a vehicle; and
an airflow guide provided at a portion on a vehicle rear side on an upper portion of the door mirror, wherein
the airflow guide guides traveling wind such that the traveling wind generated when the vehicle is traveling flows to a vehicle outer side along the airflow guide,
wherein
the airflow guide includes a surface on a vehicle front side, a bottom surface in contact with the door mirror, and a surface on a vehicle rear side,
a height of the airflow guide increases from a vehicle inner side to a vehicle outer side,
the surface on the vehicle front side of the airflow guide is a recessed curved surface,
the airflow guide is configured separately from the door mirror,
the airflow guide protrudes from the upper portion of the door mirror, extending from the vehicle inner side to the vehicle outer side, and
a height of a front surface of the airflow guide decreases from a vehicle front side to a vehicle rear side relative to the upper portion of the door mirror.
2 . The door mirror structure according to claim 1 , wherein
the surface on the vehicle rear side of the airflow guide is a surface perpendicular to the bottom surface of the airflow guide.
3 . A door mirror structure comprising:
a door mirror for a vehicle; and
an airflow guide provided at a portion on a vehicle rear side on an upper portion of the door mirror, wherein
the airflow guide guides traveling wind such that the traveling wind generated when the vehicle is traveling flows to a vehicle outer side along the airflow guide,
wherein
the airflow guide includes a surface on a vehicle front side, a bottom surface in contact with the door mirror, and a surface on a vehicle rear side,
a height of the airflow guide increases from a vehicle inner side to a vehicle outer side,
the surface on the vehicle front side of the airflow guide is a recessed curved surface,
the airflow guide is configured separately from the door mirror,
the airflow guide protrudes from the upper portion of the door mirror, extending from the vehicle inner side to the vehicle outer side, and
a height of a front surface of the airflow guide decreases from a vehicle front side to a vehicle rear side relative to the bottom surface of the airflow guide.
4 . The door mirror structure according to claim 1 , wherein the surface on the vehicle front side of the airflow guide is a concave surface recessed downward of the vehicle.
5 . The door mirror structure according to claim 1 , wherein the traveling wind is straightened in a spiral shape by the surface on the vehicle front side of the airflow guide and flows to the vehicle outer side while gradually increasing a flow velocity.
6 . The door mirror structure according to claim 1 , wherein the surface on the vehicle rear side of the airflow guide functions as a wall surface that suppresses inflow of the traveling wind to a rear side of the door mirror.
7 . The door mirror structure according to claim 3 , wherein the surface on the vehicle front side of the airflow guide is a concave surface recessed downward of the vehicle.
8 . The door mirror structure according to claim 3 , wherein the traveling wind is straightened in a spiral shape by the surface on the vehicle front side of the airflow guide and flows to the vehicle outer side while gradually increasing a flow velocity.
9 . The door mirror structure according to claim 3 , wherein the surface on the vehicle rear side of the airflow guide functions as a wall surface that suppresses inflow of the traveling wind to a rear side of the door mirror.
