Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/065166
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
[Problem] To provide a vehicle cabin front structure, with which vibrations of a steering column can be suppressed by reducing a load applied to a cross-member from an air-conditioner. [Solution] A floor panel (12) has a floor panel front section (12a), thereby isolating the bottom of a vehicle cabin (3). An instrument panel cross-member (11) is disposed between a dash panel (6) and an instrument panel (4), extends in a vehicle width direction above the floor panel front section (12a), and supports a steering column (8). A right cross-member fixation part (32) to be fixed to the instrument panel cross-member (11) is disposed on an upper part of a heater (16) of an air-conditioning unit (13), and a supported part (40) of a floor fixation part (29) to be supported from below by the floor panel (12) is disposed on a lower part of the heater (16). In a side view of a truck (1), the cross-member fixation part (32) and the supported part (40) of the floor fixation part (29) are arranged on a virtual straight line (37) passing through the position of the center of gravity (36) of the heater (16) so as to sandwich the position of the center of gravity (36) from above and below.
