Flow straightener of vehicle
A flow straightener of a vehicle provided with a bumper and a cab disposed above the bumper includes a first opening section provided in the bumper and/or the cab and opened toward a front of the vehicle, and a second opening section connected to the first opening section via a connecting path and opened toward an outer side in a vehicle width direction from a location further on an inner side in the vehicle width direction than front wheels of the vehicle such that traveling wind led into the first opening section passes through a front wheel forward region defined as being behind the first opening section in a lower region of the cab and in front of the front wheels.
1. A flow straightener of a vehicle provided with a bumper and a cab disposed above the bumper, the flow straightener of the vehicle, comprising:
a first opening section disposed in the bumper and/or the cab and opened toward a front of the vehicle; and
a second opening section connected to the first opening section via a connecting path and opened toward an outer side in a vehicle width direction from a location further on an inner side in the vehicle width direction than front wheels of the vehicle such that traveling wind led into the first opening section passes through a front wheel forward region defined as being behind the first opening section in a lower region of the cab and in front of the front wheels.
2. The flow straightener of the vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the second opening section is opened such that traveling wind blown out from the second opening section passes through the front wheel forward region without interfering with the front wheels.
3. The flow straightener of the vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting path is a hollow member connected to the bumper and/or the cab and is configured to enable the traveling wind to pass through an inside of the hollow member.
4. The flow straightener of the vehicle according to claim 3 , wherein the connecting path decreases in a sectional area as the connecting path is closer to the second opening section from the first opening section.
5. The flow straightener of the vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting path is formed integrally with the bumper and/or the cab.
6. The flow straightener of the vehicle according to claim 5 , wherein the second opening section has an opening diameter that is smaller than an opening diameter of the first opening section.
7. The flow straightener of the vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the second opening section is covered by the bumper and/or the cab when viewed from the front of the vehicle.
