Title:
VEHICLE BODY REAR STRUCTURE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/092018
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
In a vehicle (10) in which a vehicle body rear structure (S) is used, a first opening (40) is formed in a vertical wall section (36), and a second opening (54) is formed in an underfloor section (28). Thus, a portion of airflow (A) flows into the first opening (40) and hits the rear surface of an inclined wall section (46), and is released at the back of the vehicle from the second opening (54). Meanwhile, the airflow (A) that does not flow into the first opening (40) flows along the vertical wall section (36) to the inclined wall section (46) in such a manner as to be pulled by the airflow (A) that flowed into the first opening (40). Thus, the airflow (A) that does not flow inside the first opening (40) flows along the inclined wall section (46) to the back of the vehicle. Consequently, separation of the airflow (A) in the inclined wall section (46) is minimized, and the airflow (A) flows along the underfloor section (28) of the vehicle to the back of the vehicle, thus enabling a reduction in handling stability due to air flowing into a rear wheel house (12) from the side of the vehicle (10) to be minimized.
