Description

本発明は、前後のフランジに他部材を固定する接続構造体、具体的には自動車用のバンパーステイに関する。 The present invention relates to a connection structure for fixing other members to front and rear flanges, and more particularly to a bumper stay for an automobile .

例えば乗用車やトラック等の自動車車体の前端(フロント)及び後端(リア)に設置されるバンパー内部には、補強部材としてバンパーリインフォースが設けられている。バンパーリインフォースは一般に荷重方向に略垂直に向く前壁と後壁、及びそれらを連結する横壁を有する断面中空の部材であり、後方側から一対のバンパーステイにより支持され、各バンパーステイは後端がサイドメンバー(フロント又はリア)の先端に固定されている。   For example, bumper reinforcement is provided as a reinforcing member inside a bumper installed at the front end (front) and rear end (rear) of an automobile body such as a passenger car or a truck. The bumper reinforcement is a hollow member having a front wall and a rear wall that are generally perpendicular to the load direction, and a lateral wall that connects them, and is supported by a pair of bumper stays from the rear side. It is fixed to the tip of the side member (front or rear).

アルミニウム製のバンパーステイは、大きく分けて縦圧壊型と横圧壊型がある。縦圧壊型のバンパーステイは、図15(a)に例示するように、軸部1を構成する中空の押出形材の前後端に板状のフランジ2,3(バンパーリインフォース4及びサイドメンバ5の取付用)を溶接したもので、押出軸方向が車体前後方向(バンパーリインフォース4の長手方向に対し略垂直)を向いている。図15(b)に例示する縦圧壊型のバンパーステイは、アルミニウム合金押出材(管材)からなり、軸部6の両端部を電磁成形により拡開しフランジ7,8を形成したもので、下記特許文献1に記載されている。
なお、電磁成形とは、電気エネルギーの投入により、電磁成形用コイル18がきわめて短時間の強力な磁場を形成し、この磁場内におかれたワーク(被加工物)が磁場の反発力(フレミングの左手の法則に従ったLorentz力)によって強い拡張力や収縮力を受けて、高速で塑性変形することを利用し、ワークを所定形状に成形する技術である。電磁成形自体は、下記特許文献2〜5及び非特許文献1にも記載されているように、公知技術である。
Aluminum bumper stays can be broadly divided into vertical and lateral collapse types. As illustrated in FIG. 15A, the vertical crushing type bumper stay has plate-like flanges 2 and 3 (bumper reinforcements 4 and side members 5 formed on the front and rear ends of a hollow extruded member constituting the shaft portion 1. The direction of the extrusion axis is directed in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body (substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the bumper reinforcement 4). The vertical crush-type bumper stay illustrated in FIG. 15B is made of an aluminum alloy extruded material (pipe material), and both ends of the shaft portion 6 are expanded by electromagnetic forming to form flanges 7 and 8. It is described in Patent Document 1.
Electromagnetic forming means that, by applying electric energy, the electromagnetic forming coil 18 forms a strong magnetic field for a very short time, and the workpiece (workpiece) placed in this magnetic field repels the magnetic field (framing). This is a technology for forming a workpiece into a predetermined shape by using a high-speed plastic deformation by receiving a strong expansion force or contraction force by a Lorentz force according to the left-hand rule of the left hand. As described in Patent Documents 2 to 5 and Non-Patent Document 1 below, electromagnetic forming itself is a known technique.

一方、横圧壊型バンパーステイは、図15(c)に示すように、前後端の取付用フランジ11,12及びそれらを連結するリブ13が一体形成された押出形材9からなり、押出軸方向が車体上下方向(バンパーリインフォース4の長手方向に対し垂直)を向いている。横圧壊型バンパーステイの例として、下記特許文献6〜8が挙げられる。

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 15C, the lateral crush type bumper stay is composed of an extruded shape member 9 in which front and rear end mounting flanges 11 and 12 and a rib 13 for connecting them are integrally formed. Is directed in the vertical direction of the vehicle body (perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the bumper reinforcement 4). Examples of the lateral crush type bumper stay include the following Patent Documents 6 to 8.
Furthermore, Patent Document 9 described below describes a bumper stay in which a hollow shaft member is disposed inside a hollow of a lateral crush type bumper stay main body.

図15(a)に示す縦圧壊型のバンパーステイは、3つの部品を溶接により一体化している。バンパーステイの溶接部近傍は最も応力が集中する箇所であり、最も高い強度(継ぎ手強度)が必要とされるが、アルミニウム合金の場合、溶接による熱影響により溶接部近傍が軟化し、必然的に継ぎ手強度が低下するという問題がある。この継ぎ手強度の低下を補うため、管状部材及びフランジ部材の肉厚を大きくしたり、熱処理型アルミニウム合金であれば、熱処理(人工時効処理)を行って硬度及び強度を回復させることが考えられるが、前者の場合、アルミニウム合金を使用した軽量化の効果が半減し、後者の場合、溶接後の熱処理による強度の回復には限界があり、また、溶接後に熱処理工程を付加することによるコストアップが避けられない。   In the vertical crushing type bumper stay shown in FIG. 15A, three parts are integrated by welding. Near the welded part of the bumper stay is the place where the stress is most concentrated, and the highest strength (joint strength) is required, but in the case of aluminum alloy, the welded part is softened due to the thermal effect of welding, and inevitably There is a problem that the joint strength decreases. To compensate for this decrease in joint strength, it is conceivable to increase the thickness of the tubular member and the flange member, or to recover the hardness and strength by heat treatment (artificial aging treatment) if heat treated aluminum alloy is used. In the former case, the effect of weight reduction using an aluminum alloy is halved. In the latter case, there is a limit to the recovery of strength by heat treatment after welding, and there is an increase in cost by adding a heat treatment step after welding. Inevitable.

図15(b)に示す縦圧壊型のバンパーステイの場合、このような問題点は解消されるが、フランジの外周に近いほど周方向への引張の変形量が大きく、肉厚減少を生じ(外周に近いほど薄肉化する)、さらに変形量が大きくなると割れを生じたりし、バンパーリインフォース及びサイドメンバーに連結するに十分な大きさのフランジを成形することがきわめて困難な場合がある。
また、図15(c)に示す横圧壊型のバンパーステイは、製造コストが安く、バンパーリインフォースの端部取付箇所が車幅方向に対し傾斜又は湾曲していても、容易に対応できる利点がある。しかし、小さい衝撃力でリブが座屈変形し、縦圧壊型に比べて重量比エネルギー吸収量が小さく、優位な軽量化効果が得られないという問題がある。
In the case of the vertical crushing type bumper stay shown in FIG. 15B, such a problem is solved, but the closer to the outer periphery of the flange, the larger the amount of tensile deformation in the circumferential direction, resulting in a reduction in thickness ( In some cases, the closer to the outer periphery, the thinner), and the larger the amount of deformation, the more likely it will crack, and it may be extremely difficult to mold a flange large enough to connect to the bumper reinforcement and the side member.
Further, the lateral crushing type bumper stay shown in FIG. 15 (c) has an advantage that the manufacturing cost is low and the bumper reinforcement end mounting portion can be easily accommodated even if it is inclined or curved with respect to the vehicle width direction. . However, there is a problem that the rib is buckled and deformed with a small impact force, the weight specific energy absorption amount is smaller than that of the longitudinal crushing type, and an advantageous weight reduction effect cannot be obtained.

これに対し、横圧壊型のバンパーステイ本体の中空内部に中空の軸部材を配置したバンパーステイの場合、軸部材の補強効果により、衝突時にリブの座屈(倒れ)が起こりにくくなり、かつ軸部材の蛇腹状変形によるエネルギー吸収量の増加が期待できる。しかし、このバンパーステイでは、軸部材の位置決めは、本体の中空内部に一体的に形成した一対の凸条を変形させてカシメたり、あるいは前後壁の外側から軸部材の中空部内に向けてねじやピンをねじ込むなどの手段をとるため、余分な重量増があると同時に、前記固定手段では位置決めの確実性に問題がある。   On the other hand, in the case of a bumper stay in which a hollow shaft member is disposed inside the hollow of the laterally crushed bumper stay body, the rib member is less likely to buckle (fall down) due to the reinforcing effect of the shaft member, and the shaft An increase in energy absorption due to the bellows-like deformation of the member can be expected. However, in this bumper stay, the shaft member is positioned by deforming a pair of protrusions integrally formed in the hollow interior of the main body, or by caulking, or by screwing from the outside of the front and rear walls into the hollow portion of the shaft member. Since measures such as screwing in pins are taken, there is an extra weight increase, and at the same time, the fixing means has a problem in positioning reliability.

本発明は、横圧壊型のバンパーステイ本体を管状の軸部材で補強する場合において、余分な重量増を招くことなく、かつ確実に両者を固定して万一にも軸部材の位置ずれ等が起きないようにすることを目的とする。   In the case where the laterally crushed bumper stay main body is reinforced with a tubular shaft member, the shaft member is not misplaced without causing an extra weight increase and the shaft member is misaligned. The purpose is to prevent waking.

前記特許文献5には、チャンネル型の形材と管状の軸部材(補強部材)の接合構造に関し、前記軸部材の両端部を、前記形材の互いに対向する一対の板部に形成した穴に嵌挿し、前記軸部材を電磁成形により拡径して、前記穴の内周面に密着させると同時に、軸部材の突出端部を拡開し、かつ両板部間を放射方向に張り出させて、前記一対のフランジ間に軸部材を接合する技術が開示されている。本発明は、この方法をバンパーステイと軸部材の固定に適用し、完成させたものである。なお、本発明は、バンパーステイに限らず、第1,第2フランジの間隔を狭める(軸部材を圧縮する)方向に荷重が掛かる接続構造体一般にも適用できるPatent Document 5 relates to a joining structure of a channel-shaped shape member and a tubular shaft member (reinforcing member). Both end portions of the shaft member are formed in holes formed in a pair of plate portions facing each other. The shaft member is expanded and the shaft member is expanded in diameter by electromagnetic forming so as to be in close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the hole. A technique for joining a shaft member between the pair of flanges is disclosed. The present invention is completed by applying this method to the fixing of the bumper stay and the shaft member. The present invention is not limited to the bumper stay, but can be applied to a general connection structure in which a load is applied in the direction of narrowing the interval between the first and second flanges (compressing the shaft member).

本発明に係るバンパーステイは、それぞれ他部材の被取付部に当接する取付部を有し互いに間隔を開けて配置された第1,第2フランジ、及び前記第1,第2フランジを連結する一対のリブからなる中空部材と、管状のアルミニウム合金押出材からなり各端部が前記第1,第2フランジに固定された軸部材により構成され、前記第1,第2フランジの前記一対のリブの間の部分に穴が形成され、前記軸部材の各端部が前記穴に嵌挿され、電磁成形により放射方向に拡管して前記穴の内周面に密着していることを特徴とする。
前記バンパーステイにおいて、中空部材は、複数個の開断面の部材を組み合わせて構成することもできる。ここで、開断面の部材には、単なる平らな板材も含まれる。
また、前記バンパーステイにおいて、中空部材として、例えば押出材のように、長さ方向に垂直な面内での断面形状が同一な金属製形材を用いることができる。金属製形材には押出材だけでなく例えば金属板をプレス加工して製造した形材が含まれ、材質は軽量化の点でアルミニウム合金が望ましいが、鋼材など他の金属を用いることもできる。この金属製形材は複数個の開断面の形材を組み合わせて構成することもできる。ここで、開断面の形材には、単なる平らな板材も含まれる。
The bumper stay according to the present invention includes a pair of first and second flanges, each having an attachment portion that abuts against an attachment portion of another member, and spaced apart from each other, and connecting the first and second flanges. A hollow member composed of a rib and a shaft member made of a tubular aluminum alloy extruded material and fixed to the first and second flanges, and the pair of ribs of the first and second flanges. A hole is formed in the middle part, each end of the shaft member is inserted into the hole, and is expanded in the radial direction by electromagnetic forming and is in close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the hole.
In the bumper stay , the hollow member may be configured by combining a plurality of members having an open cross section. Here, the open cross-section member includes a simple flat plate material.
In the bumper stay , as the hollow member, for example, a metal shape member having the same cross-sectional shape in a plane perpendicular to the length direction, such as an extruded material, can be used. The metal shape material includes not only the extruded material but also a shape material produced by, for example, pressing a metal plate. The material is preferably an aluminum alloy in terms of weight reduction, but other metals such as steel materials can also be used. . This metal profile can also be configured by combining multiple profiles with open cross-sections. Here, the shape of the open section includes a simple flat plate.

中空部材に対する軸部材の固定の確実性の観点から、前記バンパーステイにおいて、前記軸部材の先端が前記フランジの穴から前方側に突出し、かつ放射方向に拡開していること、又は/及び前記軸部材の第1及び第2フランジに挟まれた部分が電磁成形による拡管により放射方向に張り出していることが望ましい。なお、前方とは、軸部材の先端が向く方向を指す。
他部材の取付性の観点から、前記軸部材の先端が前記フランジの取付部と同一面上又はそれより内側に位置することが望ましい。具体的構造として、軸部材の先端が穴から前方に突出しないようにすれがよいが、例えば前記フランジに段差をもたせ、取付部が前方側に位置するようにし、前記穴を形成する位置を取付部より後退した位置にすれば、仮に軸部材の先端が前記フランジの穴から前方側に突出していても、該先端を前記フランジの取付部と同一面上又はそれより内側に位置させることができる。
From the viewpoint of certainty of fixing the shaft member to the hollow member, in the bumper stay , the tip of the shaft member protrudes forward from the hole of the flange and expands in the radial direction, and / or It is desirable that the portion sandwiched between the first and second flanges of the shaft member protrudes in the radial direction by pipe expansion by electromagnetic forming. The front refers to the direction in which the tip of the shaft member faces.
From the viewpoint of attachment of other members, it is desirable that the tip of the shaft member is located on the same plane as the attachment portion of the flange or on the inside thereof. As a specific structure, it is good that the tip of the shaft member does not protrude forward from the hole. For example, the flange is provided with a step so that the attachment portion is located on the front side, and the position where the hole is formed is attached. If it is set to a position retracted from the portion, even if the tip of the shaft member protrudes forward from the hole of the flange, the tip can be positioned on the same plane as the mounting portion of the flange or on the inner side thereof. .

また、前記フランジに形成する穴の望ましい形態として、フランジの前方側からバーリング加工して形成した穴を挙げることができる。バーリング加工により形成された穴はフランジの元の厚みに比べて深さがあり、かつ前方側に向かって拡開しているので、この穴の内周面に軸部材の端部を密着させると、接触面積が大きく、かつ軸部材の端部が穴の内周面に沿って放射方向に拡開するので、仮に軸部材の端部を穴の前方側に突出させなくても、中空部材に対する軸部材の固定が確実になる。   A desirable form of the hole formed in the flange is a hole formed by burring from the front side of the flange. Since the hole formed by burring has a depth compared to the original thickness of the flange and expands toward the front side, if the end of the shaft member is brought into close contact with the inner peripheral surface of this hole The contact area is large and the end of the shaft member expands radially along the inner peripheral surface of the hole. Therefore, even if the end of the shaft member does not protrude to the front side of the hole, The shaft member is securely fixed.

本発明によれば、それぞれ他部材の被取付部に当接する取付部を有し互いに間隔を開けて配置された第1,第2フランジ、及び前記第1,第2フランジを連結する一対のリブからなる中空部材と、管状のアルミニウム合金押出材からなり各端部が前記第1,第2フランジに固定された軸部材により構成されるバンパーステイにおいて、余分な重量増を招くことなく、かつ確実に両者を固定して軸部材の位置ずれ等が起きないようにすることができる。第1,第2フランジに軸部材固定用の穴を形成することも、軽量化に寄与している。また、本発明によれば、軸部材の補強効果により、衝突時にリブの座屈(倒れ)が起こりにくくなり、かつ軸部材の蛇腹状変形によるエネルギー吸収量が増加するという効果がある。 According to the present invention, the first and second flanges each having a mounting portion that contacts the mounted portion of the other member and spaced from each other, and the pair of ribs that connect the first and second flanges In a bumper stay comprising a hollow member made of a tubular member and a shaft member made of a tubular aluminum alloy extruded material, each end portion being fixed to the first and second flanges. Both can be fixed to prevent the shaft member from being displaced. Forming the shaft member fixing holes in the first and second flanges also contributes to weight reduction. Further , according to the present invention , the reinforcing effect of the shaft member is effective in that the ribs are not likely to buckle (fall down) at the time of collision, and the energy absorption amount due to the bellows-like deformation of the shaft member is increased.

以下、本発明に係るバンパーステイについて、図1〜図14を参照して具体的に説明する。
図1に示すバンパーステイ20は、バンパーリインフォースの傾斜した端部取付箇所(図15参照)に配置されるもので、それぞれアルミニウム合金押出材からなる中空部材21と軸部材22からなる。
Hereinafter, the bumper stay according to the present invention will be specifically described with reference to FIGS.
A bumper stay 20 shown in FIG. 1 is disposed at an inclined end attachment location (see FIG. 15) of bumper reinforcement, and includes a hollow member 21 and a shaft member 22 each made of an aluminum alloy extruded material.

中空部材21は、図2に明瞭に示すように、それぞれ板状の第1フランジ23、第2フランジ24及びこれらを連結する一対のリブ25,26からなる。第1フランジ23は段差を有し、中央部27がバンパーリインフォースに当接する取付部28より後退した位置にあり、前記中央部27に軸部材22を取り付けるための穴29が形成されている。第2フランジ24も同じく段差を有し、中央部31がサイドメンバーに当接する取付部32より後退した位置にあり、前記中央部31に軸部材22を取り付けるための穴33が形成されている。穴29,33は、いずれも中央部31に垂直な方向にみたとき円形をなし(穴29は中央部27に垂直な方向にみたとき若干楕円形をなす)、各中央部27,31の幅いっぱいに形成されている。リブ25,26は第1,第2フランジの各中央部27,31と傾斜部34,35のコーナー近傍を連結し、外側に湾曲している。なお、36は固定用のボルト穴である。   As clearly shown in FIG. 2, the hollow member 21 includes a plate-like first flange 23, a second flange 24, and a pair of ribs 25 and 26 that connect them. The first flange 23 has a step, the central portion 27 is in a position retracted from the mounting portion 28 that contacts the bumper reinforcement, and a hole 29 for mounting the shaft member 22 is formed in the central portion 27. Similarly, the second flange 24 has a step, the central portion 31 is in a position retracted from the mounting portion 32 that contacts the side member, and a hole 33 for mounting the shaft member 22 is formed in the central portion 31. Each of the holes 29 and 33 is circular when viewed in the direction perpendicular to the central portion 31 (the hole 29 is slightly elliptical when viewed in the direction perpendicular to the central portion 27), and the width of each central portion 27 and 31 It is fully formed. The ribs 25 and 26 connect the central portions 27 and 31 of the first and second flanges and the corners of the inclined portions 34 and 35 and are curved outward. Reference numeral 36 denotes a fixing bolt hole.

軸部材22は、図4,5にも示すように、各端部が穴29,33に嵌挿され、電磁成形により拡管して前記穴29,33の内周面に密着し、かつ穴29,33から前方側に突出した部分が放射方向にフランジ状に拡開し(拡開部37,38)、さらに第1,第2フランジ23,24に挟まれた部分が電磁成形による拡管により放射方向に張り出している(張出部39)。拡開部37,38は、周方向の一部が傾斜部34,35に当接し、その他の部分は中央部27,31に当接し、いずれにしても、軸部材22の先端が第1,第2フランジ23,24の取付部28,32より後方側に位置している。張出部39は、リブ25,26に近い周方向の一部が該リブ25,26に止められて密着し(図4参照)、その他の部分は電磁成形の加工力に応じて自由変形(張り出し)をする。このように、軸部材22は、両端部が穴29,33の内周面に密着し、同時に拡開部37,38と張出部39が中央部27,31を挟んだかたちで、中空部材21の第1,第2フランジ23,24に固定されている。   As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, each end of the shaft member 22 is fitted into the holes 29, 33, expanded by electromagnetic forming, closely attached to the inner peripheral surfaces of the holes 29, 33, and the holes 29. , 33 projecting forward from the flange expand radially in the form of a flange (expanded portions 37, 38), and the portion sandwiched between the first and second flanges 23, 24 is radiated by expansion by electromagnetic forming. Projecting in the direction (projecting part 39). The expanded portions 37 and 38 are partially in contact with the inclined portions 34 and 35 in the circumferential direction, and are in contact with the central portions 27 and 31 in the other portions. The second flanges 23 and 24 are located on the rear side of the attachment portions 28 and 32. A part of the projecting portion 39 in the circumferential direction near the ribs 25 and 26 is in close contact with the ribs 25 and 26 (see FIG. 4), and the other parts are freely deformed according to the processing force of electromagnetic forming (see FIG. 4). Overhang). As described above, the shaft member 22 has a hollow member in such a manner that both end portions are in close contact with the inner peripheral surfaces of the holes 29 and 33 and the expanded portions 37 and 38 and the projecting portion 39 sandwich the central portions 27 and 31 at the same time. 21 is fixed to the first and second flanges 23 and 24.

バンパーステイ20の製造方法を図3に示す。中空部材21の第1,第2フランジ23,24に形成した穴29,33に、円形断面の軸素材41の各端部を嵌挿し、先端を前方側に突出させる(図3の仮想線参照)。軸素材41は一端が軸方向に垂直な面で切断され、他端がその面から傾斜した面に沿って切断され、前記一端の切断面が第2フランジ24に平行、前記他端の切断面が第1フランジ23に平行(各穴29,33からの突出長さが周方向に均一)になるように穴29,33内に配置される。
この状態で軸素材41を中空部材21に対して位置決めし、軸素材41内に電磁成形用コイル体42を挿入し、電気エネルギーを投入して、電磁成形を行い、軸素材41を放射方向に拡径する。これにより、先に説明したバンパーステイ20を得ることができる。
A method for manufacturing the bumper stay 20 is shown in FIG. The ends of the shaft material 41 having a circular cross section are inserted into the holes 29 and 33 formed in the first and second flanges 23 and 24 of the hollow member 21, and the tip is projected forward (see the imaginary line in FIG. 3). ). One end of the shaft material 41 is cut by a plane perpendicular to the axial direction, the other end is cut along a plane inclined from the plane, the cut surface of the one end is parallel to the second flange 24, and the cut surface of the other end Are arranged in the holes 29 and 33 so as to be parallel to the first flange 23 (the protruding length from each of the holes 29 and 33 is uniform in the circumferential direction).
In this state, the shaft material 41 is positioned with respect to the hollow member 21, the electromagnetic forming coil body 42 is inserted into the shaft material 41, electric energy is input, electromagnetic forming is performed, and the shaft material 41 is moved in the radial direction. Expand the diameter. Thereby, the bumper stay 20 demonstrated previously can be obtained.

このバンパーステイ20において、軸部材22の両端部が穴29,33の内周面に密着し、かつ張出部39の一部がリブ25,26に密着していること、及び張出部39の周方向形状が異なる(密着している箇所より自由変形して張り出した箇所の方が大きく張り出している)。従って、軸部材22と中空部材21を相対的に回転させようとする力が作用しても、軸部材22が穴29,33内で回転するのが防止される。また、第1フランジ23(特に穴29が形成されている中央部27)が、軸部材22の軸方向に対し垂直な面から傾斜している点も、この回転防止作用をもつ。   In the bumper stay 20, both end portions of the shaft member 22 are in close contact with the inner peripheral surfaces of the holes 29, 33, and a part of the overhang portion 39 is in close contact with the ribs 25, 26, and the overhang portion 39. The shape in the circumferential direction is different (the part that protrudes freely from the part that is in close contact with the part protrudes larger). Therefore, the shaft member 22 is prevented from rotating in the holes 29 and 33 even if a force for relatively rotating the shaft member 22 and the hollow member 21 is applied. Moreover, the point which the 1st flange 23 (especially center part 27 in which the hole 29 is formed) inclines from the surface perpendicular | vertical with respect to the axial direction of the shaft member 22 also has this rotation prevention effect.

図6に別の形態のバンパーステイ44を示す。このバンパーステイ44において、中空部材45は、第1,第2フランジ46,47を連結するリブ48,49が平面的である点で中空部材21と異なり、その他の点で同一である。軸部材51の張出部52は、リブ48,49に近い周方向の一部が該リブ48,49に止められて密着し、そこでは平坦になっている(その他の点は軸部材22と同一)。張出部52のその他の部分は、電磁成形の加工力に応じて自由変形(張り出し)をする。
この形態の場合、軸部材51の張出部52がリブ48,49により強く押し付けられ、両者の密着がより強化される。
FIG. 6 shows another type of bumper stay 44. In the bumper stay 44, the hollow member 45 is different from the hollow member 21 in that the ribs 48, 49 connecting the first and second flanges 46, 47 are planar, and is the same in other points. The projecting portion 52 of the shaft member 51 is in close contact with the ribs 48 and 49, with a part in the circumferential direction close to the ribs 48 and 49, and is flat there (other points are the same as the shaft member 22. The same). The other portions of the overhanging portion 52 are freely deformed (overhanging) according to the electromagnetic forming processing force.
In the case of this form, the overhanging portion 52 of the shaft member 51 is strongly pressed by the ribs 48 and 49, and the close contact therebetween is further reinforced.

図7,8に別の形態のバンパーステイ53を示す。このバンパーステイ53において、中空部材54は、第1,第2フランジ55,56を連結するリブ57,58が、第1,第2フランジ55,56の両端に配置され、かつ平面的である点で中空部材21と異なり、その他の点で同一である。軸部材59がリブ57,58と離れているため、その張出部60がリブ57,58に密着せず、全周において電磁成形の加工力に応じて自由変形(張り出し)をする(その他の点は軸部材22と同一)。
この形態の場合、リブ57,58間の間隔が広いため、荷重付加時の安定度が増す。一方、リブ57,58と軸部材59の間隔が広いため、電磁成形時に軸部材59が瞬間的に拡管して穴(中空部材21の穴29,33参照)の内周面を放射方向に押し広げようとする力が作用したとき、第1,第2フランジ55,56に歪みが生じやすい。なお、中空部材21の場合、第1,第2フランジ23,24の取付部28,32がリブ25,26の外側に位置する(リブ25,26が穴29,33の近傍にある)ため、該リブ25,26が支えとなって、電磁成形時の第1,第2フランジ23,24の歪みが抑えられる。また、バンパーステイ20は、取付部28,32がリブ25,26の外側に位置するため、バンパーリインフォース及びサイドメンバーとの取り付けが行いやすい。
7 and 8 show another type of bumper stay 53. In the bumper stay 53, the hollow member 54 is planar in that ribs 57 and 58 that connect the first and second flanges 55 and 56 are disposed at both ends of the first and second flanges 55 and 56. Unlike the hollow member 21, the other points are the same. Since the shaft member 59 is separated from the ribs 57 and 58, the projecting portion 60 is not in close contact with the ribs 57 and 58, and is freely deformed (projected) according to the electromagnetic forming processing force on the entire circumference (others). The point is the same as the shaft member 22).
In the case of this form, since the space | interval between ribs 57 and 58 is wide, the stability at the time of load addition increases. On the other hand, since the gap between the ribs 57 and 58 and the shaft member 59 is wide, the shaft member 59 instantaneously expands during electromagnetic forming and pushes the inner peripheral surface of the hole (see the holes 29 and 33 of the hollow member 21) in the radial direction. When a force for spreading is applied, the first and second flanges 55 and 56 are likely to be distorted. In the case of the hollow member 21, the mounting portions 28 and 32 of the first and second flanges 23 and 24 are located outside the ribs 25 and 26 (the ribs 25 and 26 are in the vicinity of the holes 29 and 33). The ribs 25 and 26 serve as a support, and distortion of the first and second flanges 23 and 24 during electromagnetic forming can be suppressed. In addition, since the mounting portions 28 and 32 are located outside the ribs 25 and 26, the bumper stay 20 is easily attached to the bumper reinforcement and the side member.

図9,10に別の形態のバンパーステイ61を示す。このバンパーステイ61において、中空部材62は、第1,第2フランジ63,64の中央部65,66に形成された穴67,68が、前記中央部65,66の幅いっぱいではなく、小さめに形成されている点、及び軸部材69の穴67,68から前方側に突出して放射方向にフランジ状に拡開した部分(拡開部71,72)が、全周にわたり中央部65,66に当接していない点で異なるが、他の点ではほぼ同一である。   9 and 10 show another type of bumper stay 61. In this bumper stay 61, the hollow member 62 has holes 67 and 68 formed in the central portions 65 and 66 of the first and second flanges 63 and 64 so that the width of the central portions 65 and 66 is not full, but smaller. The portions formed and the portions (expanded portions 71, 72) that protrude forward from the holes 67, 68 of the shaft member 69 and expand radially in the form of flanges are formed in the central portions 65, 66 over the entire circumference. Although it differs in that it is not in contact, it is almost the same in other points.

この形態の場合、軸部材69の拡開部71,72が、第1,第2フランジ63,64の中央部65,66に当接していないことによる作用効果上の不利益はほとんどなく、一方、製造上の観点からは、中央部65,66に当接させない程度の小さい電磁成形力で済むという利点がある。これにより電磁成形時に軸部材69が拡管して穴67,68の内周面を放射方向に押し広げようとする力を低減し、第1,第2フランジ63,64の歪みを抑えることができる。また、電磁成形用コイル体に過大な電気エネルギーを投入しなくて済むので、該電磁成形用コイル体や制御装置等の寿命を延ばすこともできる。   In the case of this form, there is almost no disadvantage in terms of operation and effect due to the fact that the expanded portions 71 and 72 of the shaft member 69 are not in contact with the central portions 65 and 66 of the first and second flanges 63 and 64. From the viewpoint of manufacturing, there is an advantage that an electromagnetic forming force that is small enough not to contact the central portions 65 and 66 is sufficient. As a result, the shaft member 69 can be expanded during electromagnetic forming to reduce the force of expanding the inner peripheral surfaces of the holes 67 and 68 in the radial direction, thereby suppressing distortion of the first and second flanges 63 and 64. . Further, since it is not necessary to input excessive electric energy to the electromagnetic forming coil body, it is possible to extend the life of the electromagnetic forming coil body and the control device.

図11に別の形態のバンパーステイ74を示す。このバンパーステイ74も、バンパーリインフォースの傾斜した端部取付箇所(図15参照)に配置されるもので、中空部材75と軸部材76からなる。
中空部材75は、それぞれアルミニウム合金押出材からなる2つの板状部材77,78(図12,13参照)を組み合わせて構成したものであり、板状の第1フランジ79、第2フランジ80及びこれらを連結する一対のリブ81,82からなる。第1フランジ79は段差を有し、中央部83がバンパーリインフォースに当接する取付部84より傾斜部85を介して後退した位置にあり、前記中央部83に軸部材76を取り付けるための穴86が形成されている。第2フランジ80には段差がなく、全体がサイドメンバーに当接する取付部に相当し、そのほぼ中央に軸部材76を取り付けるためのバーリング穴87が形成されている。穴86,87は、いずれも第2フランジ80に垂直な方向にみたとき円形をなす(穴86は中央部83に垂直な方向にみたとき若干楕円形をなす)。
FIG. 11 shows another form of bumper stay 74. The bumper stay 74 is also arranged at the end attachment portion (see FIG. 15) where the bumper reinforcement is inclined, and includes a hollow member 75 and a shaft member 76.
The hollow member 75 is configured by combining two plate-like members 77 and 78 (see FIGS. 12 and 13) each made of an aluminum alloy extruded material, and includes a plate-like first flange 79, a second flange 80, and these. It comprises a pair of ribs 81 and 82 for connecting the two. The first flange 79 has a step, the central portion 83 is in a position retracted from the mounting portion 84 that contacts the bumper reinforcement via the inclined portion 85, and a hole 86 for mounting the shaft member 76 is formed in the central portion 83. Is formed. The second flange 80 does not have a step, and corresponds to a mounting portion that contacts the side member as a whole, and a burring hole 87 for mounting the shaft member 76 is formed at substantially the center thereof. Each of the holes 86 and 87 has a circular shape when viewed in the direction perpendicular to the second flange 80 (the hole 86 has a slightly elliptical shape when viewed in the direction perpendicular to the central portion 83).

中空部材75を構成する一方の部材77は、図12にも示すように、段差のある板状部材であり、外側部88と、傾斜部89を介して後退した位置にある前記中央部83からなり、該中央部83に前記穴86が形成されている。また、中央部83に作業用穴90及び作業用切り欠き91、外側部88にボルト穴92(バンパーリインフォース取付用)が形成されている。中空部材75を構成する他方の部材78は、外側部93と、傾斜部94及び前記第2フランジ80からなり、該第2フランジ80に前記バーリング穴87が形成されている。また、第2フランジ80にボルト穴95(サイドメンバー取付用)、外側部93にボルト穴96が形成されている。
前記部材77,78を組み合わせて中空部材75を構成したとき、外側部88と外側部93が重なって前記取付部84となり、傾斜部89と傾斜部94の上端部が重なって前記傾斜部85となり、部材78の傾斜部94は前記リブ81,82となる。作業用穴90と作業用切り欠き91はちょうどサイドメンバー取付用のボルト穴95に対応する位置にきて、工具を差し入れてボルト締めができるようになっている。また、ボルト穴92とボルト穴96が重なり、図11に示すように、ここにスタッドボルト97が打ち込まれ、又はピアスナット98が固定される。
As shown in FIG. 12, one member 77 constituting the hollow member 75 is a plate-like member having a step, and is formed from the outer portion 88 and the central portion 83 in a position retracted through the inclined portion 89. The hole 86 is formed in the central portion 83. In addition, a work hole 90 and a work notch 91 are formed in the central portion 83, and a bolt hole 92 (for bumper reinforcement attachment) is formed in the outer portion 88. The other member 78 constituting the hollow member 75 includes an outer portion 93, an inclined portion 94 and the second flange 80, and the burring hole 87 is formed in the second flange 80. A bolt hole 95 (for attaching a side member) is formed in the second flange 80, and a bolt hole 96 is formed in the outer portion 93.
When the hollow member 75 is configured by combining the members 77 and 78, the outer portion 88 and the outer portion 93 overlap to form the mounting portion 84, and the inclined portion 89 and the upper end portion of the inclined portion 94 overlap to form the inclined portion 85. The inclined portion 94 of the member 78 becomes the ribs 81 and 82. The work hole 90 and the work notch 91 are located at positions corresponding to the bolt holes 95 for attaching the side members, and can be tightened by inserting a tool. Moreover, the bolt hole 92 and the bolt hole 96 overlap, and as shown in FIG. 11, the stud bolt 97 is driven here or the pierce nut 98 is fixed.

軸部材76は、図11に示すように、各端部が穴86,87に嵌挿され、電磁成形により拡管して前記穴86,87の内周面に密着し、かつ第1フランジ79側では、穴86から前方側に突出した部分が放射方向にフランジ状に拡開して(拡開部99)、全周的に中央部83に当接し、第2フランジ80側では、軸部材76の端部が前記バーリング穴87の内周面に密着し該バーリング穴87に沿って放射方向に拡開している(拡開部100)、さらに、第1,第2フランジ79,80に挟まれた部分が電磁成形による拡管により放射方向に張り出している(張出部101)。このように、軸部材76は、両端部が穴86,87の内周面に密着し、同時に拡開部99,100と張出部101が第1フランジ79の中央部83及び第2フランジ80を挟んだかたちで、前記第1,第2フランジ79,80に固定されている。また、第1フランジ79には段差があり、段差のない第2フランジ80側では拡開部100がバーリング穴87から前方に突出していない。従って、軸部材76の先端は第1,第2フランジ79,80の取付部(取付部84と第2フランジ80自体)より後方側に位置している。   As shown in FIG. 11, each end of the shaft member 76 is inserted into the holes 86 and 87, expanded by electromagnetic forming, and is in close contact with the inner peripheral surfaces of the holes 86 and 87, and the first flange 79 side. Then, a portion protruding forward from the hole 86 is expanded in a flange shape in the radial direction (expanded portion 99), and is in contact with the central portion 83 on the entire circumference, and on the second flange 80 side, the shaft member 76 is provided. Is closely attached to the inner peripheral surface of the burring hole 87 and expands radially along the burring hole 87 (expanded portion 100), and is further sandwiched between the first and second flanges 79 and 80. The projecting portion is projected in the radial direction by expansion by electromagnetic forming (projecting portion 101). Thus, both ends of the shaft member 76 are in close contact with the inner peripheral surfaces of the holes 86 and 87, and at the same time, the expanded portions 99 and 100 and the overhang portion 101 are the central portion 83 of the first flange 79 and the second flange 80. Is fixed to the first and second flanges 79 and 80. Further, the first flange 79 has a step, and the expanded portion 100 does not protrude forward from the burring hole 87 on the second flange 80 side where there is no step. Accordingly, the distal end of the shaft member 76 is located on the rear side of the attachment portions (the attachment portion 84 and the second flange 80 itself) of the first and second flanges 79 and 80.

中空部材75に軸部材76を固定してバンパーステイ74を製造する方法を図14に示す。中空部材75の第1,第2フランジ79,80に形成した穴86,バーリング穴87に、軸素材102の各端部を嵌挿し、第1フランジ79側では先端を前方側に突出させる(図14の仮想線参照)。軸素材102は円形断面のアルミニウム合金押出材からなり、一端が軸方向に垂直な面で切断され、他端がその面から傾斜した面に沿って切断され、前記一端の切断面が第2フランジ80に平行、前記他端の切断面が第1フランジ79に平行(穴79からの突出長さが周方向に均一)になるように穴86,87内に配置される。
この状態で軸素材102を中空部材75に対して位置決めし、軸素材102内に電磁成形用コイル体103を挿入し、電気エネルギーを投入して、電磁成形を行い、軸素材102を放射方向に拡径する。これにより、先に説明したバンパーステイ74を得ることができる。
FIG. 14 shows a method of manufacturing the bumper stay 74 by fixing the shaft member 76 to the hollow member 75. The ends of the shaft blank 102 are inserted into the holes 86 and burring holes 87 formed in the first and second flanges 79 and 80 of the hollow member 75, and the front end protrudes forward on the first flange 79 side (see FIG. 14 virtual lines). The shaft material 102 is made of an aluminum alloy extruded material having a circular cross section, one end is cut by a surface perpendicular to the axial direction, the other end is cut along a surface inclined from the surface, and the cut surface of the one end is a second flange. It is arranged in the holes 86 and 87 so that the cut surface at the other end is parallel to the first flange 79 (the protruding length from the hole 79 is uniform in the circumferential direction).
In this state, the shaft material 102 is positioned with respect to the hollow member 75, the coil body 103 for electromagnetic forming is inserted into the shaft material 102, electric energy is input, electromagnetic forming is performed, and the shaft material 102 is moved in the radial direction. Expand the diameter. As a result, the bumper stay 74 described above can be obtained.

このバンパーステイ74では、中空部材75を2つの板状の部材77,78により構成したが、これにより、一体型の中空部材(例えば中空部材21)に比べて、穴開けがしやすいという利点がある。穴開けは第1フランジ側、第2フランジ側とも、各フランジに対して穴の軸線が垂直になるように行われるが、中空部材の場合、中空内部に治具を位置決めする必要があるなど、余分な手間が掛かる。特に、中空部材21のように、第1フランジ23の穴29と第2フランジ24の穴33の軸線が異なる場合は、上下の穴開けが一度にできないという問題がある。これに対し、中空部材75の場合、各部材77,78が板状の開断面であるので、穴開けが容易である。また、開断面の部材であれば、押出成形が容易であり、板をプレス加工して成形できるという利点もある。   In this bumper stay 74, the hollow member 75 is constituted by two plate-like members 77 and 78, but this has the advantage that it is easier to make a hole than the integrated hollow member (for example, the hollow member 21). is there. Drilling is performed so that the axis of the hole is perpendicular to each flange on both the first flange side and the second flange side, but in the case of a hollow member, it is necessary to position a jig inside the hollow, etc. Extra time is required. In particular, when the axial lines of the hole 29 of the first flange 23 and the hole 33 of the second flange 24 are different as in the hollow member 21, there is a problem that upper and lower holes cannot be formed at a time. On the other hand, in the case of the hollow member 75, since each of the members 77 and 78 has a plate-like open cross section, it is easy to make a hole. Moreover, if it is a member of an open cross section, extrusion molding is easy and there also exists an advantage that a board can be press-processed and shape | molded.
