Vehicle cooling air introduction structure
a vehicle cooling air introduction structure includes: an outer plate member that covers a front side, relative to a vehicle body, of a radiator; a cover member that is provided adjacent to an upper side, relative to the vehicle body, of the outer plate member and covers a front upper side, relative to the vehicle body, of the radiator; and an opening member that is moved in a rearward direction, relative to the vehicle body, by wind pressure during travel to thereby open an open portion at a lower end portion of the cover member.
1. A vehicle cooling air introduction structure, comprising:
an outer plate member that covers a front side, relative to a vehicle body, of a radiator;
a cover member that is provided adjacent to an upper side, relative to the vehicle body, of the outer plate member and covers a front upper side, relative to the vehicle body, of the radiator; and
an opening member that is moved in a rearward direction, relative to the vehicle body, by wind pressure during travel to thereby open an open portion at a lower end portion of the cover member, wherein
the opening member has a concavo-convex shape as seen in a plan view, and
the opening member comprises:
mountain portions that are tabular and that are flush with the cover member in a state in which the opening member has closed off the open portion, and
valley portions that are positioned between the mountain portions and are recessed rearwardly.
2. The vehicle cooling air introduction structure according to claim 1 , wherein:
the structure has a plurality of the open portions, and
the concavo-convex shape of the opening member is different for each of the open portions.
3. The vehicle cooling air introduction structure according to claim 1 , wherein upper edge portions of the mountain portions are provided in a line that is continuous with an upper edge portion of the open portion.
4. The vehicle cooling air introduction structure according to claim 3 , wherein the upper edge portions are thinner walled than portions of the opening member other than the upper edge portions.
5. The vehicle cooling air introduction structure according to claim 1 , wherein the opening member includes plural divisional members divided in a longitudinal direction of the open portion.
