Title of invention: Shock absorbing member
Technical field
[0001]
The present invention relates to a shock absorbing member, and more particularly to a shock absorbing member applicable to a vehicle skeleton member.
Background technology
[0002]
While automobiles are required to be lighter in order to improve fuel efficiency, they are also required to have higher strength in order to ensure collision safety. A press-formed product obtained by press-molding a steel plate is used as a part of the skeleton member of the vehicle body. The front side member, which is an example of a press-formed product, is arranged so that its longitudinal direction faces from the center of the vehicle body to the front portion of the vehicle body. When a collision load from the outside of the vehicle is applied, the load is applied along the longitudinal direction of the front side member, and when the magnitude of the load exceeds the limit value, the front side member buckles and deforms to give an impact. Absorb.
If the wall thickness is reduced in order to reduce the weight of the front side member, buckling deformation will occur with a small load, and the impact cannot be sufficiently absorbed. On the other hand, if the wall thickness is increased, sufficient shock absorption capacity can be expected, but the weight increases and fuel efficiency cannot be improved. As described above, the weight reduction and the improvement of collision resistance are contradictory characteristics, and a skeleton member of a vehicle body having both of these characteristics is desired.

Mode for carrying out the invention
[0024]
Each embodiment of the shock absorbing member according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
[First Embodiment] As
shown in FIGS. 1A to 1C, the shock absorbing member 1 of the present embodiment has a hollow cross-sectional structure surrounded by four wall portions 1a to 1d. More specifically, the shock absorbing member 1 has a tubular shape that is long in one direction and is formed by four wall portions 1a to 1d. The one direction referred to here indicates the longitudinal direction of the shock absorbing member 1, (a) and (b) of FIG. 1 indicate the horizontal direction (X direction) of the paper surface, and (c) indicates the vertical direction of the paper surface.
One end side of each wall portion 1a to 1d in the longitudinal direction is one end portion 1e1 that receives an impact load from the outside. In the present embodiment, the left side of the paper surface shown in FIG. 1A is the one end portion 1e1, but since the shock absorbing member 1 has a symmetrical shape in the center in the longitudinal direction, the other end portion 1e2 on the right side of the paper surface is formed. It may be configured to receive an impact load.
[0025]
The shock absorbing member 1 of the present embodiment can be used, for example, as a front side member or a rear side member which is a skeleton member of an automobile. For example, when used as a front side member, one end side in the longitudinal direction (one end 1e1) of the shock absorbing member 1 is arranged so as to face the front direction of the vehicle body, and the other end side in the longitudinal direction (the other end 1e2) is the cabin. Arranged to face the side.
[0026]
As shown in FIGS. 1A to 1C, the shock absorbing member 1 includes a molded body (hat-shaped member) 2 obtained by press-molding a metal plate, a plate-shaped member 3 joined to the molded body 2. It is composed of two members. In FIG. 1, the X direction indicates the longitudinal direction of the shock absorbing member 1, the Y direction indicates the width direction of the shock absorbing member 1, and the Z direction is a direction orthogonal to both the X direction and the Y direction. The height direction of the shock absorbing member 1 is shown.
The molded body 2 includes a web portion 2a, a pair of vertical wall portions 2b connected to both side edges in the width direction of the web portion 2a, and a pair of flange portions 2c connected to the vertical wall portions 2b, in the longitudinal direction thereof. The vertical cross-sectional shape is hat-shaped. The web portion 2a has a rectangular shape that is long in one direction. Each of the pair of vertical wall portions 2b also has a rectangular shape that is long in one direction. As shown in FIG. 1C, the pair of vertical wall portions 2b are integrally connected to the web portion 2a at an angle slightly wider than a right angle, so that the pair of vertical wall portions 2b are connected to each other. When viewed in a cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, a trapezoidal shape is formed in combination with the web portion 2a. Further, a flange portion 2c is integrally formed at the edge of each of the pair of vertical wall portions 2b. Each of these flange portions 2c has a rectangular shape that is long in one direction and is parallel to each other.
[0027]
By joining the plate-shaped member 3 to each flange portion 2c of the molded body 2, the shock absorbing member 1 having a hollow cross-sectional structure is formed. Then, the web portion 2a of the molded body 2, the pair of vertical wall portions 2b, and the plate-shaped member 3 form the four wall portions 1a to 1d constituting the shock absorbing member 1. As the joining means between each flange portion 2c of the molded body 2 and the plate-shaped member 3, spot welding, linear welding, adhesion, mechanical joining means such as screws and bolts and nuts can be adopted.
[0028]
As the material of the molded body 2 and the plate-shaped member 3, a metal plate is preferable, and a thin steel plate made of high-strength steel, an aluminum plate, an aluminum alloy plate, or the like is more preferable. In the case of a thin steel sheet, an aluminum-plated steel sheet or a galvanized steel sheet may be used.
[0029]
Of the wall portions 1a to 1d constituting the shock absorbing member 1, only the wall portion 1d composed of the plate-shaped member 3 is provided with the deformation guiding portion 4. That is, the other wall portions 1a to 1c have a flat shape in which the deformation guiding portion 4 is not provided. The flat shape referred to here means, for example, a surface shape having an average curvature of at least the outer surface of 0.0001 or less. Further, the flat-shaped region is preferably an unprocessed portion such as a bead portion that has not been processed. The above-mentioned regulation regarding a flat shape is an example, but it may be similarly applied to other embodiments and modifications. The deformation guiding portion 4 includes a high-strength portion 4a (also referred to as a first high-strength portion) having a relatively large buckling resistance and a pair of low-strength portions 4b having a relatively smaller buckling resistance than the high-strength portion 4a. Consists of. The high-strength portion 4a and the pair of low-strength portions 4b are arranged in a row along the longitudinal direction of the wall portion 1d so as to be continuous without a gap. The high-strength portion 4a is arranged so as to be sandwiched between the pair of low-strength portions 4b in the longitudinal direction of the wall portion 1d. In the wall portion 1d, the deformation guiding portion 4 is arranged so as to be sandwiched between a pair of high-strength portions 7 (also referred to as a second high-strength portion) in the longitudinal direction of the wall portion 1d. By arranging the low-strength portion 4b so as to be sandwiched between the high-strength portion 4a and the high-strength portion 7, the entire wall portion 1d becomes a region having a relatively small buckling strength.
[0030]
In the example of FIG. 1, the high-strength portion 4a occupies a region substantially central in the longitudinal direction of the wall portion 1d. Further, each low-strength portion 4b occupies the regions on both sides of the high-strength portion 4a. The high-strength portion 4a is provided with two bead portions 5, and the low-strength portion 4b is not provided with the bead portion 5 and is flat.
The longitudinal direction of each bead portion 5 is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the wall portion 1d. Further, each bead portion 5 projects from the wall portion 1d toward the outside of the shock absorbing member 1 as shown in FIG. 1 (c). More specifically, each bead portion 5 has a triangular corner portion facing outward when viewed in a cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction thereof, that is, when viewed in a cross section shown in FIG. 1 (c). It has a protruding shape and can be formed by, for example, press molding. The shape of the bead portion 5 in the same cross section is not limited to a triangle, and other shapes such as a semicircular shape and a semi-elliptical shape may be adopted.
[0031]
The low-strength portion 4b is a flat-shaped region in which the bead portion 5 is not provided. The high-strength portion 4a is a cross-sectional region having a pair of convex portions formed by the bead portions 5, and is a region sandwiched between the pair of low-strength portions 4b. Focusing on the length along the surface from one side edge 3e1 of the plate-shaped member 3 to the other side edge 3e2 along the Y direction shown in FIGS. 1 (b) and 1 (c), each bead By providing the portion 5, the length of the high-strength portion 4a that functions substantially effectively along the surface (hereinafter referred to as the effective width) becomes longer than the effective width of the low-strength portion 4b. That is, the low-strength portion 4b and the high-strength portion 4a have the same linear dimensions from the side edges 3e1 to the side edges 3e2 in the Y direction when viewed from the front, but the high-strength portion 4a has a pair of bead portions 5. The effective width becomes longer because it is equipped with. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 1B, the effective width of the low-strength portion 4b is the linear length shown on the side w3. On the other hand, the effective width of the high-strength portion 4a is longer than that of the linear portion because it is accompanied by undulations at the two bead portions 5 as shown in FIG. 1 (c).
By making the effective width of the high-strength portion 4a larger than the effective width of the low-strength portion 4b in this way, the buckling proof stress of the high-strength portion 4a is relatively higher than the buckling proof stress of the low-strength portion 4b. growing.
[0032]
The buckling strength of each of the high-strength portion 4a and the low-strength portion 4b is represented by the total yield strength F of each side on the member compression side obtained by the following equations (1) and (2). Each side on the member compression side means a portion of the high-strength portion 4a and the low-strength portion 4b in which the bead portion 5 is not provided. For example, when looking at the direction along the Y direction shown in FIG. 1B, each side on the member compression side is the side w1 between the two bead portions 5 in the case of the high strength portion 4a. It is a cross-sectional portion of a total of three sides, that is, a cross-sectional portion and a cross-sectional portion of two sides w2 from each bead portion 5 to the end portion in the width direction of the wall portion 1d. Further, in the case of the low-strength portion 4b, the side on the member compression side is a cross-sectional portion of the side w3 along the width direction of the wall portion 1d.
[0033]
F = Ce × t × σ y・ ・ ・ Equation (1)
[0034]
Ce = 1.9 × t × (E / σ y ) 0.5 × {1-0.415 × t1 / w e × (E / σ y ) 0.5 } ... Equation (2)
[0035]
In equations (1) and (2), F is the proof stress of each side, Ce is the effective width of each side represented by equation (2), and t1 is the plate thickness of each side. sigma y is the yield stress of the material of the respective sides, E is a Young's modulus of the material forming the sides, w e is the plate width of each side. Of the above parameters, the plate thickness t1 is different on each side. Specifically, when the plate thickness of the plate-shaped member 3 and the plate thickness of the flange portion 2c are the same plate thickness t, in (b) and (c) of FIG. 1, t1 = t on the side w1 and the side w2. Then, t1 = 2 × t.
[0036]
Further, in the example of FIG. 1, a bead portion 6 different from the bead portion 5 extends to both ends in the longitudinal direction of the wall portion 1d. In other words, in the example of FIG. 1, the bead portion 6 also exists in the high-strength portion 7 which is the region of the wall portion 1d excluding the deformation inducing portion 4. More specifically, a pair of bead portions 6 are provided along the longitudinal direction of the shock absorbing member 1 in each of the high-strength portions 7 on both sides of the deformation guiding portion 4. Moreover, the bead portion 6a (6) in one high-strength portion 7 is on the same straight line as the bead portion 5a (5) in the high-strength portion 4a and the bead portion 6b (6) in the other high-strength portion 7. They are lined up. Similarly, the bead portion 6c (6) in one high-strength portion 7 is also on the same straight line as the bead portion 5b (5) in the high-strength portion 4a and the bead portion 6d (6) in the other high-strength portion 7. Lined up in. Since the form shown in FIG. 1 is an example, the bead portions 5a, 6a, 6b may not be on the same straight line, and similarly, the bead portions 5b, 6c, 6d may not be on the same straight line.
[0037]
As described above, since the bead portion 6 for increasing the buckling resistance is also present in the region (high strength portion 7) excluding the deformation inducing portion 4, the low strength portion 4b in the shock absorbing member 1 is in the longitudinal direction of the wall portion 1d. In the above, it is limited to two regions where the bead portions 5 and 6 are not provided. In the present embodiment, the bead portion 6 is provided in the high strength portion 7 in order to limit the region of the low strength portion 4b, but the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and each low strength portion 4b is formed. As described above, the region adjacent to the low-strength portion 4b may be a region having a relatively high yield stress. For example, instead of providing the bead portion 6, the yield stress of the region adjacent to the low-strength portion 4b is partially increased to increase the yield stress of the region, thereby forming the high-strength portion 7 and achieving low strength. The region of part 4b may be limited.

Next, the dimensions of the high-strength portion 4a and the low-strength portion 4b will be described.
The length L1 (mm) of the high-strength portion 4a along the longitudinal direction of the wall portion 1d is determined by the length of the bead portion 5 in the longitudinal direction. That is, the length L1 (mm) of the high-strength portion 4a is the distance H (mm) between the wall portion 1d provided with the deformation guiding portion 4 and another wall portion 1a arranged to face the wall portion 1d. 0.8 times or more and 2.0 times or less is preferable. Hereinafter, the distance H (mm) between the wall portion 1d and the wall portion 1a is defined as the distance between the inner surface (upper surface) of the flat portion of the wall portion 1d and the outer surface (upper surface) of the flat portion of the wall portion 1a. For example, the interval H (mm) is the same as the so-called hat height, and as shown in FIG. 1 (c), the height from the lower surface of the flange portion 2c to the flat region of the upper surface of the web portion 2a which is the top of the hat. It is a dimension.
By defining the length L1 (mm) of the high-strength portion 4a as described above, the pair of low-strength portions 4b can be reliably separated from each other, so that the bending deformations that occur in each of the low-strength portions 4b can be mutually caused. It is possible to disperse the bending deformation points without interfering with.
[0039]
That is, if the length L1 (mm) of the high-strength portion 4a is 0.8 times or more the distance H (mm) between the wall portions 1d and 1a, the low-strength portions 4b do not come too close to each other. As a result, the deformation region at the time of bending deformation is widened, and the energy absorption capacity at the time of applying an impact load is further enhanced. That is, by setting L1 ≧ 0.8 × H, the bending deformation of one of the pair of low-strength portions 4b and the bending deformation of the other are fused to substantially result in a single node bending. Can be prevented.
Further, if the length L1 (mm) of the high-strength portion 4a is 2.0 times or less the distance H (mm) between the wall portions 1d and 1a, bending deformation can be caused in the deformation inducing portion 4. That is, by setting L1 ≦ 2.0 × H, it is possible to cause bending deformation not only in one of the pair of low-strength portions 4b but also in both of them.
[0040]
The length C (mm) of each low-strength portion 4b along the longitudinal direction of the wall portion 1d is the high-strength portion 4a (first high-strength portion) and the high-strength portion 7 (second high-strength portion), respectively. Depends on the distance of. In the example of FIG. 1, it is determined by the distance between the bead portion 5 and the bead portion 6. The length C (mm) of each low-strength portion 4b along the longitudinal direction of the wall portion 1d is preferably 0.6 times or less of the interval H (mm).
By setting C ≦ 0.6 × H, the place where the bending deformation occurs can be limited to a narrow region, and thereby the dispersion function of the bending deformation part by the high strength portion 4a can be further enhanced. Further, 0
