Title:
DUCT STRUCTURE OF VEHICLE SIDE FACE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2016097848
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress that air collides with rear tires at the traveling of a vehicle.SOLUTION: A duct structure arranged at a side face of a vehicle has a first opening part (10A), a second opening part (10D), and ducts (10B, 20 and 30). Air flows in from the first opening part accompanied by the traveling (advance) of the vehicle, and is discharged from the second opening part. A first inclined region (25b) is formed in a region which is located inside the vehicle in a vehicle width direction out of the ducts which introduce air flowing in from the first opening part to the second opening part. Since the first inclined region extends to the inside of the vehicle in the vehicle width direction toward a front part of the vehicle from the second opening part, the first inclined region makes air which moves along the first inclined region, and is discharged from the second opening part progress to the outside of the vehicle in the vehicle width direction with respect to rear tires. By this constitution, it can be suppressed that air flowing along the side face of the vehicle collides with the rear tires.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4
