Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 6, an energy absorbing member at a front portion of an automobile includes a bumper 1, a front side member (hereinafter referred to as a side member) 2, and the like. It is mainly the side member 2 that absorbs energy. Therefore, the side member 2 is required to absorb more energy in a limited space.

It has become These side members have a hollow columnar shape as a whole, and FIG.
As schematically shown in FIG. 2, when compressed in the axial direction, the wall surface deforms while forming a bellows shape, and absorbs energy by converting impact energy into plastic deformation energy of metal. In addition, in the case of aluminum alloy, since it has low strength and rigidity as compared with steel, it easily collapses plastically and has good energy absorbing ability.

いる。A conventional energy absorbing member used for a side member or the like has a problem in that when it collapses plastically by receiving a compressive force in the axial direction as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-50083 or Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 02-175452. The main focus is on whether to collapse the bellows. That is, by intentionally disintegrating in a bellows shape, Euler buckling (the side member itself is broken) is prevented, and stable energy absorption is obtained. However, these technologies can stabilize energy absorption but cannot increase the amount of energy absorption itself, and in order to increase the energy absorption, it is inevitable to increase the diameter and thickness of the cross section. Therefore, in order to secure a larger amount of energy absorption in a limited space and a limited weight like an automobile, these conventional technologies are not enough.

割れが入ることによりエネルギー吸収能力が落ちてしま
うという欠点がある。In order to reduce the weight, use of a light metal such as aluminum is conceivable. However, a light metal mainly made of an aluminum alloy has a drawback that it has a smaller elongation than steel and that even a small amount of deformation causes cracking. . In particular, when trying to give a large amount of energy absorption capacity with a small volume, a treatment to increase the material strength by heat treatment or adjustment of alloy components is performed, but such a treatment loses the ductility (elongation) of the material. In many cases, the material may be broken at the time of crushing and energy may not be absorbed effectively. Also, when not using a high-strength material, it is necessary to increase the thickness of the energy absorbing member, and when the profile wall deforms in a bellows shape during crushing, the wall surface distortion due to the thickening becomes too large,
There is a disadvantage that the energy absorption ability is reduced due to cracks.

構体全体の破壊を防ぐ用途に適用される。The energy absorbing member according to the present invention is an extruded aluminum alloy material having a hollow rectangular cross section, wherein a convex portion having a rectangular cross section is provided outside a wall surface portion. (See FIG. 1). Here, the profile having a rectangular cross section refers to a profile having a rectangular or square cross section. This includes not only a mouth shape in cross section, but also a shape material having a web inside such as an eye shape, a Japanese shape, and a Tagata shape. In the case of this profile, it is preferable that a convex portion is provided outside the facing wall portion. This energy absorbing member is formed using an extruded aluminum alloy material, and is particularly applied to a use such as a side member of an automobile in which an impact load applied from an axial direction is converted into deformation energy to prevent the entire structure from being destroyed. .

ーを吸収することができる。When a conventional profile having a rectangular cross section is crushed in the axial direction, energy absorption due to the movement of a plastic hinge line at a corner portion (circled portion) shown in FIG. It is known that the amount of bending deformation energy consumed when a wall surface (a portion sandwiched between corners) is folded in a bellows shape is not so large. This indicates that increasing the number of corners increases the amount of energy absorption. In other words, in this energy absorbing member, a plastic hinge line is formed there by providing a convex corner portion on a wall surface portion that has not conventionally contributed much to energy absorption, and the impact energy is absorbed by the movement of the hinge line. As a result, it is possible to absorb more impact energy than a simple rectangular cross-section member without causing a significant increase in weight.
