Hood structure
The present invention is intended to provide a hood structure to enhance capacity to absorb a collision energy. A hood member comprises a hood outer panel and a hood inner panel disposed on a back face of the hood outer panel. The hood inner panel comprises a general face portion disposed apart from the back face of the hood outer panel, a raised portion raised in a direction of the back face of the hood outer panel 4 from the general face portion and an opening portion formed in an upper face portion of the raised portion. In addition, the hood inner panel comprises a slit portion that extends across an edge line of the raised portion from the opening portion and is formed to slit an inclined face portion of the raised portion.
1. A hood structure comprising:
a hood outer panel; and
a hood inner panel disposed on a back face of the hood outer panel,
wherein the hood inner panel comprises:
a general face portion positioned apart from the back face of the hood outer panel;
a raised portion raised in a direction toward the hood outer panel from the general face portion;
an opening formed in an upper face portion of the raised portion;
a slit portion extending across an edge line of the raised portion from the opening to slit an inclined face portion of the raised portion; and
a second step line which extends along a low end portion of the raised portion and between the general face portion and the low end portion,
wherein the slit portion does not extend across the second step line.
wherein the hood outer panel includes a ridge line extending in a vehicle front- rear direction in each of right and left end portions in a vehicle width direction, and the raised portion and the slit portion are arranged between the ridge lines.
2. The hood structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein plural tongue portions are formed to extend inward from a peripheral edge of the opening and have lengths from the peripheral edge that differs from one another.
3. The hood structure as claimed in claim 1 further comprising a bracket member disposed frontward in a vehicle front-rear direction of the raised portion of the hood inner panel and supporting the hood outer panel from under, wherein the slit portion is positioned outward in a vehicle width direction of a vehicle direction outer end portion of the bracket member.
4. The hood structure as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the bracket member includes a joint portion that is joined to the hood inner panel and includes a weakened portion extending frontward in a vehicle front-rear direction and downward.
5. The hood structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the hood inner panel has a first step line extending along a front edge portion of the hood outer panel and between the general face portion and the front edge portion, and wherein a dimension of a front-rear direction length between the first step line and the second step line becomes larger toward a center in the vehicle width direction of the hood inner panel.
6. A hood structure comprising:
a hood outer panel; and
a hood inner panel disposed on a back face of the hood outer panel, wherein the hood inner panel comprises:
a general face portion positioned apart from the back face of the hood outer panel;
a raised portion raised in a direction toward the hood outer panel from the general face portion;
an opening formed in an upper face portion of the raised portion;
a slit portion extending across an edge line of the raised portion from the opening to slit an inclined face portion of the raised portion; and
a second step line which extends along a low end portion of the raised portion and between the general face portion and the low end portion,
wherein the slit portion does not extend across the second step line, and
wherein plural tongue portions are formed to extend inward from a peripheral edge of the opening and have lengths from the peripheral edge that differs from one another.
