Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、自動車のサイドアウタパネルのロッカ部構造に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
自動車の車体外側面を形成するサイドアウタパネルは、成形性を高める観点から0.7mm程度の薄板をプレスにより一体成形するのが一般的である。
【0003】
一方、自動車のロッカ部では、車両前突時及び側突時の剛性を高める観点から、例えば図7に示すように、サイドアウタパネル(ロッカアウタ)60とロッカインナ61との間に板厚の大きいロッカアウタリインホース62とロッカインナリインホース63とを配設する場合がある。
【0004】
ところで、板厚の大きい2枚のリインホースをロッカ部に配設する構造を採用した場合には、材料コスト,重量とも上昇するという問題がある。このような材料コスト,重量の低減を図るために、従来、図6に示すように、サイドアウタパネルを上サイドパネルアウタ50と、これより板厚の大きい下サイドパネルアウタ51とに分割し、上サイドパネルアウタ50のステップ50aの外縁から下方に延びる下向き接合片部50bと、下サイドパネルアウタ51の上向き接合片部51aとを溶接により接合し、該上向き接合片部51aの上端をステップ50aの上面に配設されたスカッフプレート52を延長させて覆うようにした構造のものが提案されている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。このようにすることによってロッカ部の剛性を確保しつつロッカインナリインホースを省略することが可能となる。なお、53はロッカインナ,54はロッカリインホースである。
【0005】
【特許文献1】

【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところで、上記従来のロッカ部構造では、上サイドパネルアウタ50は下サイドパネルアウタ51より板厚が小さいことから、側突時の衝撃力Fによって上サイドパネルアウタ50が断面崩れを起こし易いという懸念がある。また前突時においても上サイドパネルアウタ50が変形して断面崩れを起こし易く、下サイドパネルアウタ51の上向き接合片部51aが口開きするおそれがある。
【0007】
本発明は、上記状況に鑑みてなされたもので、側突時の断面崩れや前突時の口開きを防止できる自動車のサイドパネルのロッカ部構造を提供することを目的としている。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、ドア開口が形成されたサイドアウタパネルのロッカ部構造において、上記サイドアウタパネルを、上記ドア開口の下縁部を形成するロッカパネル部と残りのアウタパネル部とに分割するとともに、該ロッカパネル部の板厚をアウタパネル部の板厚より大きいものとし、上記ロッカパネル部を、上記アウタパネル部の下縁部に溶接により結合される上フランジ部と、該上フランジ部から車幅方向外側に略水平に延びる水平部と、該水平部の外端から下方に延びた後車幅方向内側に屈曲して延びる張出部と、該張出部の内端に形成された下フランジ部とを有するものとし、上記アウタパネル部の下縁部に続いて上記水平部の下面に重なるよう延びる延長部を形成し、該延長部と水平部とを溶接により結合したことを特徴としている。
【0009】
【発明の作用効果】
本発明に係るロッカ部構造によれば、サイドアウタパネルをアウタパネル部と該アウタパネル部より板厚の大きいロッカパネル部とに分割し、該ロッカパネル部の上フランジ部をアウタパネル部の下縁部に溶接接合するとともに、該アウタパネル部の下縁部にロッカパネル部の水平部に重なるよう延びる延長部を形成し、該延長部と水平部とを溶接接合したので、車両側突時の衝撃力を板厚の大きいロッカパネル部全体で受けることとなり、断面崩れを防止でき、衝突性能を向上できる。
【0010】
また上記ロッカパネル部の上フランジ部及び水平部をアウタパネル部に溶接結合したので、前突時の衝撃力によってロッカパネル部が口開きするのを防止できる。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a rocker portion structure of a side outer panel of an automobile.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In general, a side outer panel that forms an outer surface of a vehicle body is formed by pressing a thin plate having a thickness of about 0.7 mm with a press from the viewpoint of enhancing formability.
[0003]
On the other hand, in the rocker portion of the vehicle, a rocker outer having a large thickness is provided between a side outer panel (rocker outer) 60 and a rocker inner 61 as shown in FIG. In some cases, a rein hose 62 and a rocker inner rein hose 63 are provided.
[0004]
By the way, when a structure in which two thick rein hoses are disposed in the rocker portion is adopted, there is a problem that both material cost and weight increase. In order to reduce such material cost and weight, conventionally, as shown in FIG. 6, the side outer panel is divided into an upper side panel outer 50 and a lower side panel outer 51 having a larger thickness than the upper side panel outer 50. The downward joining piece 50b extending downward from the outer edge of the step 50a of the side panel outer 50 and the upward joining piece 51a of the lower side panel outer 51 are joined by welding, and the upper end of the upward joining piece 51a is connected to the step 50a. A structure in which the scuff plate 52 disposed on the upper surface is extended and covered has been proposed (for example, see Patent Document 1). By doing so, it is possible to omit the rocker inner rein hose while securing the rigidity of the rocker portion. In addition, 53 is a rocker inner and 54 is a rocker inner hose.
[0005]

[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, in the above-mentioned conventional rocker portion structure, since the upper side panel outer 50 is smaller in thickness than the lower side panel outer 51, there is a concern that the upper side panel outer 50 is liable to collapse in section due to the impact force F at the time of a side collision. There is. Also, at the time of a front collision, the upper side panel outer 50 is likely to be deformed and the cross section is likely to be collapsed, and there is a possibility that the upward joint piece 51a of the lower side panel outer 51 may open.
[0007]
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a rocker portion structure of a side panel of an automobile, which can prevent cross-sectional collapse at a side collision and opening at a front collision.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention provides a rocker portion structure of a side outer panel having a door opening, wherein the side outer panel is divided into a rocker panel portion forming a lower edge portion of the door opening and a remaining outer panel portion, The thickness of the outer panel portion is greater than the thickness of the outer panel portion, and the rocker panel portion is connected to the lower edge portion of the outer panel portion by welding, and the outer flange portion is formed substantially outwardly in the vehicle width direction from the upper flange portion. It has a horizontal portion that extends horizontally, a projecting portion that extends downward from the outer end of the horizontal portion and extends inward in the vehicle width direction, and a lower flange portion formed at the inner end of the projecting portion. An extension extending from the lower edge portion of the outer panel portion so as to overlap the lower surface of the horizontal portion is formed, and the extension portion and the horizontal portion are joined by welding.
[0009]
Operation and Effect of the Invention
According to the rocker portion structure according to the present invention, the side outer panel is divided into the outer panel portion and the rocker panel portion having a larger thickness than the outer panel portion, and the upper flange portion of the rocker panel portion is welded to the lower edge of the outer panel portion. At the same time, an extension is formed at the lower edge of the outer panel so as to overlap the horizontal part of the rocker panel, and the extension and the horizontal part are welded to each other. Since the entire rocker panel portion having a large thickness is received, the collapse of the cross section can be prevented, and the collision performance can be improved.
[0010]
Further, since the upper flange portion and the horizontal portion of the rocker panel are welded to the outer panel, the rocker panel can be prevented from opening due to the impact force at the time of a front collision.
