Specification
0001]The present invention relates to an automobile member.
This application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2016-030224, filed in Japan on February 19, 2016, which is incorporated herein by reference.
BACKGROUND
[0002]Many automobile body body shell having a so-called monocoque structure comprises platform and, the left and right body side, and an engine compartment provided in the front body shell. Platform has a floor panel. Left and right body side is mounted on both sides of the platform. Engine compartment includes a front side member as a constituent member.
[0003]
Body side has an A-pillar, B-pillar, a roof rail side, and a side sill (kicker). Roof rail side is welded to each of the upper end of the A-pillar and B-pillar. The welding of an automobile member, mainly, resistance spot welding (hereinafter, abbreviated as spot welding) and laser welding or the like is used. Side sill is welded at the lower end of the A-pillar and B-pillar, and the front end portion of the rear wheel house outer.
[0004]
Generally, the side sill includes a side sill inner panel which is disposed toward the vehicle inside, and a side sill outer panel which is located toward the vehicle outside. Each of the side sill inner panel and the side sill outer panel is a member having a hat-shaped cross sectional shape, and the web, a first flange, a second flange, a first wall which is connected between the web and the first flange It has a part, and a second wall portion which is connected between the web and the second flange.
[0005]
Then, the first flange of the first flange and the side sill inner panel of the side sill outer panel is welded by spot welding. Also, a second flange of the second flange and the side sill inner panel of the side sill outer panel is welded by spot welding. These sill of one body of the hollow rectangular section is manufactured. In other words, thus produced side sill is a long and hollow cylindrical body having a rectangular cross section of the closed space therein.
[0006]
Side sill via the upward flange formed on both sides of the front floor panel are welded by spot welding to the floor panel. Then, during travel of the vehicle, the deflection due to the elastic deformation of the floor panel is prevented by the side sill. Thus, the side sill gives the desired flexural rigidity and torsional rigidity to the body shell. Further, at the time of collision of the vehicle, the side sill is deformed by an input of the impact load also serves to absorb the impact energy.
[0007]
Side sill is a motor vehicle member to absorb the impact energy by producing primarily side-called three-point bending deformation at the time of collision. Therefore, conventionally, to enhance the impact energy absorption amount with respect to three-point bending deformation (EA) as the primary design goals, design and development of the side sill have been made.
[0008]
Meanwhile, in recent years, in order to further improve the collision safety performance of vehicles, frontal collision test or rear-end collision test assuming small overlap collision (SOI) has begun to be adopted. The small overlap frontal collision test, the vehicle front end portion, 25% of the sites of the entire vehicle width to strike the fixed barrier, to collide with the fixed barrier by driving the vehicle at a speed of 64km / h.
In such a small overlap frontal collision, since the outer impact absorbing structure provided on the vehicle front part (e.g., front side member, etc.) strikes the fixed barrier, the impact energy sufficiently by the shock absorbing structure of a vehicle front portion absorption it is difficult to.
[0009]
However, small overlap front crash test results, by axial collapse deformation occurs to the side sill at the time of a collision, the impact energy is absorbed by the side sill has been found. Therefore, from the viewpoint of improvement in collision safety performance of vehicles, the recent sill, is to increase the impact energy absorption for two different deformation modes of three-point bending deformation and axial collapse deformation is strongly required.
[0010]
However, at the time of collision with the axial collapse deformation, welds between the side sill and A Piraroa, welds between the side sill and B pillar, and starting from the respective side sill and welds between the wheel house outer, premature rupture (spot break ) there may be caused to the side sill. In this case, because this spot break is believed to impact energy absorption due to axial collapse deformation of the side sill is reduced.
Note that the spot fracture, refers to a phenomenon in which a plurality of spot welds present in the member illustrated in the side sill, i.e. a plurality of the melt-solidified portion formed by spot welding (hereinafter, referred to as "nugget") is broken. For example, a plurality of nuggets present in the side sill is sequentially broken in order close to the longitudinal end portion (end portion where an impact load is input), sometimes sill inner panel is detached from the side sill outer panel.
[0011]
Similar spot break, also occurs in the front side member. Typically, the front side member comprises placed hat panel toward the vehicle inner side, and a flat closing plate positioned toward the vehicle outer side. The closing plate by being welded by spot welding the pair of flanges of the hat-shaped panel (first and second flanges), the front side member of the one body of the hollow rectangular section is manufactured. That is, the front side member manufactured in this way, similar to the side sill as described above, is a long and hollow cylindrical body having a rectangular cross section of the closed space therein.
[0012]
Front side member is disposed in an engine compartment, with providing the desired bending stiffness and torsional rigidity to the body shell, responsible for supporting the heavy and critical components of the suspension such as the engine. Further, at the time of front collision of the vehicle, front side members are also responsible for absorbing impact energy by bending deformation by an impact load inputted via the front crash boxes arranged at its front end. However, at the time of frontal collision, a plurality of spot welds present in the front side member (nugget) are sequentially fractured sequentially closer to the longitudinal end portion of the front side member (end portion where an impact load is input), hat shaped panels there is a case in which the closing plate is peeled off from. Due to such a spot break, impact energy absorption of the front side member is believed to decrease.
[0013]
Here, the following Patent Documents 1 and 2, when an impact load due to a front collision is inputted, an automobile member with a structure capable of absorbing the impact energy effectively is disclosed. Automotive member disclosed in Patent Document 1 has a structure in which the width direction position of the joint flange varies along its longitudinal direction. Also, automobile members disclosed in Patent Document 2, with bent portions along the longitudinal direction is provided, and has a structure in which the sectional shape including the flange along the longitudinal direction changes.
Further, the following Patent Document 3, a single bulkhead is closed-section member which is welded to the inside is disclosed as a conventional example as a reinforcing member.
Further, the following Patent Document 4, so as to straddle the portion abutting of two or more components which form a closed cross section joining structural members, and joining structural members single reinforcing plate is installed is disclosed there.

Summary of the Invention
Problems that the Invention is to Solve
[0015]
However, in the structure of automobile members disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2, the shape of the hat-shaped panels and closing plate becomes very complicated. Therefore, these members when produced by press molding, easily molding defects occur such as cracking and wrinkles, As a result, there is a possibility that manufacturing yield of an automobile member is reduced.
Also, the closed-section member disclosed as a conventional example in Patent Document 3, because it is placed a single bulkhead inside, if the axial collapse deformation described above has occurred, for example, two of the outer plate and the inner plate for each variant of the overlapping portions can not bulkhead is deformed following the junction between the resulting bulkhead and the outer plate, and the junction between the bulkhead and the inner plate is easily broken Become. Therefore, it is difficult to suppress a decrease in impact energy absorption. Further, for the same reason as described above, in the bonding structural members disclosed in Patent Document 4, if the axial collapse deformation described above has occurred, the joint between the reinforcing plate and the closed section joining structural members tends to break. Therefore, it is difficult to suppress a decrease in impact energy absorption.
[0016]
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, it can be manufactured without reducing the manufacturing yield, and for the purpose of providing possible automotive member suppress a decrease in impact energy absorption due to the spot break.
