Description
본 발명은 자동차 센터필라의 상부 보강구조에 관한 것으로, 센터필라와 루프패널과의 연결부의 강성을 향상시켜서 추돌사고시의 안전성이 향상되도록 하는 자동차 센터필라의 상부 보강구조에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to an upper reinforcing structure of an automobile center pillar, and to an upper reinforcing structure of an automobile center pillar to improve the rigidity of the connection portion between the center pillar and the roof panel so as to improve safety during a collision accident.
자동차의 차체는 제1도에 도시된 바와 같이, 박스형태로 제작되며, 현가장치나 엔진설치부와 같이 외력이 집중되는 곳에는 프레임을 보강하여 가해지는 외력이 차체 전체로 분산되도록 하고 있으며, 또한 차실내를 중심으로 차체전방이나 후방에는 소위 크러시존(Crush Zone)이라는 구간을 형성하여서, 상당한 큰 충격이 가해지는 전방이나 후방 추돌사고시에 크러시존의 부재들이 충격을 흡수하면서 변형되도록 하고 있다.As shown in FIG. 1, the vehicle body is manufactured in the form of a box. Where the external force is concentrated, such as a suspension system or an engine installation unit, the external force applied to the vehicle body is distributed to the entire vehicle body. By forming a so-called crush zone in the front or rear of the vehicle center, the members of the crush zone are deformed while absorbing the impact in the front or rear collision accident.
한편, 센터필라(10)와 프론트필라(12) 및 리어필라(14)는 각각 한 쌍을 이루면서 차체의 양측에 대향되게 배치되고, 이 필라들(10, 12, 14)의 상부에는 루프패널(24)이 설치되어 차실내를 이루고 있는데, 외부로부터 차체에 충격이 가해지게 되면 그 구조상 루프패널(24)과의 연결부분인 필라들(10, 12, 14)의 상부에 충격에 의한 응력이 집중된다. 이러한 경우, 필라들(10, 12, 14)의 상부가 변형되면서 루프패널(24)과의 연결부분이 휘어지거나 파손되어, 루프패널(24)이 차실내측으로 침범하게 되므로 탑승자가 크게 상해를 입게 되며, 이러한 문제는 측방 추돌사고시 더욱 심각하게 발생된다.Meanwhile, the center pillars 10, the front pillars 12, and the rear pillars 14 form a pair, respectively, and are disposed opposite to both sides of the vehicle body, and a roof panel (top) of the pillars (10, 12, 14). 24 is installed to form the interior of the vehicle. When an impact is applied to the vehicle body from the outside, the stress due to the impact is concentrated on the upper portions of the pillars 10, 12, 14, which are connected to the roof panel 24. do. In this case, as the upper portions of the pillars 10, 12, 14 are deformed, the connection portion with the roof panel 24 is bent or broken, and the roof panel 24 is invaded into the interior of the vehicle, causing serious injury to the occupant. This problem is more serious in lateral collisions.
따라서, 루프패널(24)과 필라들(10, 12, 14)과의 연결부분의 강성을 향상시키기 위한 방안이 다방면으로 연구되고 있다. 상기 필라들(10, 12, 14)중에서 특히 센터필라(10)는 차실내의 중간부분에 위치되어서 센터필라(10)와 루프패널(24)과의 연결부분이 휘어지거나 파손되는 경우에는 루프패널(24)의 중간부분이 차실내를 덮치게 되므로, 강도보완이 각별하게 요구된다.Therefore, various methods for improving the rigidity of the connection portion between the roof panel 24 and the pillars 10, 12, 14 have been studied. Among the pillars 10, 12, 14, in particular, the center pillar 10 is located in the middle of the vehicle interior, and the roof panel when the connection between the center pillar 10 and the roof panel 24 is bent or broken. Since the middle part of (24) covers the interior of the vehicle, extra strength is particularly required.
이에 종래에는 제 2 도의 (a) 및 (b)에 도시된 바와 같이, 센터필라 인너패널(18)과 센터필라 아웃패널(16) 사이에 T형 보강판(20)을 설치하여서 센터필라(14)의 강도가 향상되도록 하고 있다. 한편, 센터필라 인너패널(18)에는 루프레일(22)이 차량 종방향으로 설치되어서 센터필라 인너패널(18)과 루프레일(22)이 폐단면을 이루는 구조로 되어 있다.In the related art, as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, a T-shaped reinforcement plate 20 is installed between the center pillar inner panel 18 and the center pillar out panel 16 to form a center pillar 14. ), The strength is improved. On the other hand, the center pillar inner panel 18 is provided with a roof rail 22 in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle so that the center pillar inner panel 18 and the roof rail 22 form a closed cross section.
그러나, 상기 종래 기술의 경우에는 센터필라 인너패널(18)과 센터필라 아웃패널(16) 사이에 T형 보강판(20)을 덧붙인 것에 불과하므로, T형 보강판(20)을 설치하지 않는 경우보다는 강성이 향상되었다고 하더라도 요구되는 만큼의 충분한 강도 향상을 기대할 수 없는 문제가 있다.However, in the case of the prior art, since only the T-shaped reinforcement plate 20 is added between the center pillar inner panel 18 and the center pillar out panel 16, the T-shaped reinforcement plate 20 is not installed. Rather, even if the rigidity is improved, there is a problem that can not expect a sufficient strength improvement as required.
이에 본 발명은 상기와 같은 문제를 해결하기 위해 발명된 것으로, 센터필라의 강성을 향상시켜서 추돌사고시의 안전성이 향상되도록 하는 자동차 센터필라의 상부 보강구조를 제공함에 그 목적이 있다.Accordingly, the present invention has been invented to solve the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide an upper reinforcing structure of an automobile center pillar to improve the rigidity of the center pillar to improve the safety of the collision accident.
