Vehicle structure
A vehicle structure includes a cooling device, an air guide member, and a horn. The cooling device is cooled with a flow of moving air which a vehicle receives while traveling. The air guide member guides the moving air into the cooling device. The air guide member has a single opening in a front of the vehicle. The horn is disposed at a side of the air guide member. The cooling device and the horn are arranged in a vehicle-width direction. The cooling device and the horn face the single opening viewed form the front of the vehicle.
1. A vehicle structure comprising:
a cooling device that is cooled by a flow of moving air which a vehicle receives while traveling;
an air guide member that guides the moving air into the cooling device; and
a horn disposed at the side of the air guide member,
wherein the cooling device and the horn are juxtaposed in the vehicle-width direction; and
wherein the air guide member has a single opening in the front of the vehicle, the opening spanning from the cooling device to the horn.
2. The vehicle structure according to claim 1 ,
wherein the air guide member has an outlet that is located close to the cooling device and that has a smaller diameter than the opening and an oblique side that connects the opening and the outlet; and
wherein the horn is disposed halfway along the oblique side.
3. The vehicle structure according to claim 2 ,
wherein a bulging portion is provided halfway along the oblique side so as to form a bulge toward the horn located outside the air guide member; and
wherein the bulging portion has a bulging portion opening that faces the horn located therebehind and a base extending from the bulging portion opening to the air guide member.
4. The vehicle structure according to claim 3 ,
wherein at least part of an opening edge of the bulging portion opening is configured to overlap the horn in the vehicle-width direction.
5. The vehicle structure according to claim 3 ,
wherein the bulging portion opening has a lip projecting toward the center thereof.
6. The vehicle structure according to claim 5 ,
wherein the lip is provided substantially halfway around the bulging portion opening so as to be located across the bulging portion opening from the cooling device in the vehicle-width direction.
7. A vehicle structure comprising:
a cooling device to be cooled with a flow of moving air which a vehicle receives while traveling;
an air guide member to guide the moving air into the cooling device, the air guide member having a single opening in a front of the vehicle; and
a horn disposed at a side of the air guide member, the cooling device and the horn being arranged in a vehicle-width direction, the cooling device and the horn facing the single opening viewed form the front of the vehicle.
8. The vehicle structure according to claim 7 ,
wherein the air guide member has an outlet that is located close to the cooling device and that has a smaller diameter than the opening and an oblique side that connects the opening and the outlet; and
wherein the horn is disposed halfway along the oblique side.
9. The vehicle structure according to claim 8 ,
wherein a bulging portion is provided halfway along the oblique side so as to form a bulge toward the horn located outside the air guide member; and
wherein the bulging portion has a bulging portion opening that faces the horn located therebehind and a base extending from the bulging portion opening to the air guide member.
10. The vehicle structure according to claim 9 ,
wherein at least part of an opening edge of the bulging portion opening is configured to overlap the horn in the vehicle-width direction.
11. The vehicle structure according to claim 9 ,
wherein the bulging portion opening has a lip projecting toward the center thereof.
12. The vehicle structure according to claim 11 ,
wherein the lip is provided substantially halfway around the bulging portion opening so as to be located across the bulging portion opening from the cooling device in the vehicle-width direction.
