Vehicle front part structure
A vehicle front structure prevents unintentional package movement during travel while allowing access to a trunk from a vehicle cabin side. Embodiments include a vehicle having a front trunk, a glove box, and a communication portion. The front trunk has a housing space at a front of the vehicle to house a package. The glove box is at a front part of a vehicle cabin and has a housing space into and out of which a package can be taken, and a lid to open and close an opening. The communication portion has a communication space providing communication between the housing space of the front trunk and the housing space of the glove box. A raised wall that restricts package movement in the communication space is provided at an opening section of the communication space, such as a front opening at a front end part of the communication space.
1 . A vehicle front part structure comprising:
a front trunk disposed at a vehicle front part on a front side of a vehicle cabin of a vehicle and having a front housing space that can house a package;
a vehicle cabin side housing portion disposed at a front part of the vehicle cabin, the vehicle cabin side housing portion having a vehicle cabin side housing space into and out of which a package can be taken from the vehicle cabin side, and provided with a lid to open and close an opening of the vehicle cabin side housing space on the vehicle cabin side;
a communication portion having a communication space providing communication between the front housing space and the vehicle cabin side housing space; and
a movement restriction portion that is provided at the communication portion and restricts package movement in the communication space.
2 . The vehicle front part structure according to claim 1 , wherein the movement restriction portion is a raised wall that is arranged in the communication space and is movable between a closed position where movement of the package is restricted by partitioning of at least part of an opening section of the communication space and an opened position where the movement restriction is canceled.
3 . The vehicle front part structure according to claim 2 , further comprising an opening-closing operation portion that is operated to open and close the raised wall.
4 . The vehicle front part structure according to claim 3 , wherein
the opening-closing operation portion includes the lid of the vehicle cabin side housing portion, and
the raised wall is opened and closed in coordination with an opening-closing operation of the lid.
5 . The vehicle front part structure according to claim 3 , wherein
the opening-closing operation portion includes an operation member that extends in a longitudinal direction of the communication portion and opens and closes the raised wall by moving in the longitudinal direction, and
the operation member includes a coupling end part coupled to the raised wall, and an operation end part provided inside or around the vehicle cabin side housing portion.
6 . The vehicle front part structure according to claim 2 , wherein
the raised wall is for opening and closing a whole area of the opening section of the communication space in a closed state, and
the vehicle front part structure further includes a seal member that provides blockage between a periphery of the raised wall and an inner peripheral surface of the communication space in a state in which the raised wall is closed.
7 . The vehicle front part structure according to claim 2 , wherein
the raised wall is for opening and closing a whole area of the opening section of the communication space in a closed state, and
the raised wall partitions the communication space in an airtight manner into parts on a front side and a rear side in a vehicle front-rear direction in a state in which the raised wall is closed.
8 . The vehicle front part structure according to claim 1 , wherein the vehicle cabin side housing portion is a glove box provided at an instrument panel.
9 . The vehicle front part structure according to claim 2 , wherein the vehicle cabin side housing portion is a glove box provided at an instrument panel.
10 . The vehicle front part structure according to claim 3 , wherein the vehicle cabin side housing portion is a glove box provided at an instrument panel.
11 . The vehicle front part structure according to claim 4 , wherein the vehicle cabin side housing portion is a glove box provided at an instrument panel.
12 . The vehicle front part structure according to claim 5 , wherein the vehicle cabin side housing portion is a glove box provided at an instrument panel.
13 . The vehicle front part structure according to claim 6 , wherein the vehicle cabin side housing portion is a glove box provided at an instrument panel.
14 . The vehicle front part structure according to claim 7 , wherein the vehicle cabin side housing portion is a glove box provided at an instrument panel.
