OPEN COWL STRUCTURE WITH IMPROVED NVH PERFORMANCE, CAPABLE OF IMPROVING NVH PERFORMANCE BY THE ENHANCING OF THE RIGIDITY OF A COWL STRUCTURE

摘要

PURPOSE: An open cowl structure with improved NVH performance is provided to ensure the safety of a pedestrian and a driver since the NVH performance decrease due to the rigidity decrease of an open cowl structure is solved.;CONSTITUTION: An open cowl structure with improved NVH performance comprises a top panel(10), an inner lower panel(20) and a reinforcing panel(50). The top panel is located between the hood of the upper part of an engine room and windshield glass. The inner lower panel is fixed to a vehicle body in a state of being bent at a given angle and is coupled to the top panel. One side of the top panel is separated from the inner lower panel. One side of the reinforcing panel is connected to the top panel, and the other side is connected to the inner lower panel to form a curved shape. The reinforcing panel is connected to the bent part of the inner lower panel to form a curved shape.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2011
