Description

この発明は、エアバッグ装置の作動により展開するエアバッグドア部が設けられたインストルメントパネル等の車両用内装品に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a vehicle interior such as an instrument panel provided with an airbag door that is deployed by the operation of an airbag device.

従来より、この種の車両用内装品として、例えば特許文献1に記載されているように、エアバッグドア部(扉予定部)が破断予定部(テアライン)で区画された樹脂製の内装品本体(リッド)と、この内装品本体の裏側に上記エアバッグドア部に対応して振動溶着により一体に取り付けられた樹脂製のエアバッグシュート(インナ)と、を備えたインストルメントパネルが知られている。   Conventionally, as this type of vehicle interior product, as described in Patent Document 1, for example, a resin interior product body in which an airbag door portion (predetermined door portion) is partitioned by a planned break portion (tea line) There is known an instrument panel including a lid and a resin air bag chute (inner) integrally attached to the back side of the interior body by vibration welding corresponding to the air bag door portion.

JP 2004-175305 A

ところで、近年、コストダウンや軽量化などのために内装品本体を薄くすることが求められており、こうすると、上記のようにエアバッグシュートを振動溶着により取り付けたときに、内装品本体に外観不良が発生する虞れがある。すなわち、上記のように振動方向の第1方向突条部とこれに直交する第2方向突条部とをそれぞれ内装品本体の裏面に振動溶着するときには、第1方向突条部に加わる熱量が第2方向突条部に比べて大きくなるので、両者の溶け具合が異なるものとなり、その分、溶着終了時点で両者の高さが異なるものとなって、内装品本体の表面に波打つような模様が浮き出てしまうのである。   By the way, in recent years, it has been required to reduce the thickness of the interior product body for cost reduction and weight reduction. Thus, when the airbag chute is attached by vibration welding as described above, There is a risk that defects will occur. That is, when the first direction protrusion in the vibration direction and the second direction protrusion perpendicular to the vibration direction are welded to the back surface of the interior product main body as described above, the amount of heat applied to the first direction protrusion is Since it is larger than the ridges in the 2nd direction, the melted state of the two will be different, and the height of both will be different at the end of welding, and the pattern will wave on the surface of the interior body Will come out.

本発明は斯かる点に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的とするところは、振動溶着のための突条部の構成に工夫を凝らして、内装品本体を薄くしても外観不良が発生しないようにすることにある。   The present invention has been made in view of such a point, and the object of the present invention is to devise the configuration of the protruding portion for vibration welding and to cause appearance defects even if the interior body is made thin. There is to do not.

上記の目的を達成するため、本発明では、互いに交差する2方向の突条部を振動方向に対し対称に傾斜させて、摩擦により両者に加わる熱量が略同じになるようにした。   In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, the two ridges intersecting each other are inclined symmetrically with respect to the vibration direction so that the amount of heat applied to both by friction is substantially the same.

具体的には、この発明は、エアバッグ装置の作動により展開するエアバッグドア部が破断予定部で区画された内装品本体と、該内装品本体の裏面に上記エアバッグドア部に対応して一体に取り付けられたエアバッグシュートと、を備えたエアバッグドア部付き車両用内装品を対象とし、上記エアバッグシュートが、上記内装品本体の裏面において上記エアバッグドア部を囲む部位に振動溶着されたフランジ部を有し、上記エアバッグ装置が収容される枠体と、上記エアバッグドア部の裏面に振動溶着されたフラップ部と、上記枠体とフラップ部の基端側とを一体に連結するヒンジ部と、を備えている場合に、次のような解決手段を講じた。   Specifically, the present invention relates to an interior product main body in which an airbag door portion that is deployed by the operation of an airbag device is partitioned by a portion to be broken, and the back surface of the interior product body corresponds to the airbag door portion. A vehicle-mounted interior product with an airbag door portion provided with an integrally mounted airbag chute, wherein the airbag chute is vibration welded to a portion surrounding the airbag door portion on the back surface of the interior product body A frame body in which the airbag apparatus is accommodated, a flap part that is vibration welded to the back surface of the airbag door part, and a base end side of the frame body and the flap part. In the case where the hinge portion to be connected is provided, the following solution was taken.

すなわち、請求項1に係る発明では、上記フランジ部若しくはフラップ部の少なくとも一方に、各々振動溶着の振動方向に対し傾斜して延びる複数の第1方向突条部と、各々振動方向に対し上記第1方向突条部と対称に傾斜して延びる複数の第2方向突条部とを、互いに交差させて格子状に形成し、それら第1及び第2方向突条部をそれぞれ上記内装品本体の裏面に溶着により固定するようにした。   That is, in the first aspect of the invention, at least one of the flange portion and the flap portion is provided with a plurality of first-direction ridge portions extending obliquely with respect to the vibration direction of vibration welding, and the first direction protrusion portions with respect to the vibration direction. A plurality of second direction ridges extending obliquely and symmetrically with the one-direction ridge are formed in a lattice shape so as to intersect with each other, and the first and second direction ridges are respectively formed on the interior article main body. It was fixed to the back by welding.

請求項2の発明では、上記の構成において、上記第1及び第2方向突条部がそれぞれ振動方向に対してなす傾斜角度を45°未満とした。   According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the above configuration, an inclination angle formed by each of the first and second direction protrusions with respect to the vibration direction is less than 45 °.

また、請求項3の発明では、上記第1及び第2方向突条部をそれらが交差する部位では上記内装品本体の裏面に溶着固定しないようにした。   In the invention of claim 3, the first and second directional protrusions are not welded and fixed to the back surface of the interior article main body at a portion where they intersect.

請求項1の発明によると、互いに交差する第1及び第2方向突条部を振動方向に対し対称に傾斜させたので、振動溶着の際に両者にそれぞれ加わる熱量が略同じになり、その溶け具合も略同じになる。そのため、内装品本体を薄くしても、その表面に波打つような模様が浮き出ることはなくなり、外観不良は発生しない。   According to the invention of claim 1, since the first and second ridges intersecting each other are inclined symmetrically with respect to the vibration direction, the amounts of heat applied to both at the time of vibration welding are substantially the same, The condition will be almost the same. Therefore, even if the interior product body is made thin, a wavy pattern does not appear on the surface, and an appearance defect does not occur.

また、請求項2の発明では、上記第1及び第2方向突条部の振動方向に対する傾斜角度が比較的小さくなるので、その分、摩擦熱が集中して溶着を効果的に行える。   In the invention of claim 2, since the inclination angle of the first and second ridges with respect to the vibration direction becomes relatively small, the frictional heat is concentrated correspondingly and welding can be effectively performed.

さらに、請求項3の発明では、例えば第1及び第2方向突条部同士の交差する部位をそれ以外の部位よりも低く成形しておいて、この交差部は内装品本体の裏面に溶着固定されないようにすることで、外観不良の発生をより確実に防止することができる。   Further, in the invention of claim 3, for example, a portion where the first and second direction protrusions intersect is formed lower than the other portions, and this intersection is welded and fixed to the back surface of the interior article main body. By preventing this from happening, it is possible to more reliably prevent appearance defects.

すなわち、仮に上記第1及び第2方向突条部同士の交差部を、それ以外の部位と同じ高さに成形して振動溶着すると、その交差部には摩擦熱が集中しやすいので、それ以外の部位とは溶け具合がやや異なるものとなり、場合によっては外観不良を引き起こす虞れがあるが、この構成では上記交差部を実質的に溶着しないようにすることで、外観不良をより確実に防止できるものである。   That is, if the intersection of the first and second ridges is formed at the same height as other parts and vibration welded, frictional heat tends to concentrate at the intersection, otherwise This part of the product melts slightly differently and may cause poor appearance in some cases, but with this configuration, it is possible to more reliably prevent poor appearance by preventing the above-mentioned intersection from being welded substantially. It can be done.

尚、そのように交差部を内装品本体の裏面に実質的に溶着しないようにするためには、交差部をそれ以外の部位よりも充分に低くして、振動要着の終了時点で交差部が内装品本体の裏面から離間するようにしてもよいが、これに限らず、振動要着の終了時点で交差部が内装品本体の裏面に当接するようにしてもよい。   In order to prevent the intersecting portion from being substantially welded to the back surface of the interior product body in such a manner, the intersecting portion is made sufficiently lower than the other portions, and the intersecting portion is reached at the end of the vibration attachment. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the crossing portion may be brought into contact with the back surface of the interior article main body at the end of the vibration attachment.

そうした場合は交差部の一部が溶けて内装品本体の裏面に付着することも考えられるが、その程度であれば内装品本体の外観不良を引き起こす虞れはなく、何ら問題はない。従って、上記交差部を内装品本体の裏面に溶着固定しないようにする、というのは、そのように交差部の一部が溶けて付着している程度の状態も含む概念である。
In such a case, it is conceivable that a part of the intersecting portion melts and adheres to the back surface of the interior product main body, but if it is about that level, there is no possibility of causing an appearance defect of the interior product main body, and there is no problem. Therefore, not to weld and fix the intersecting part to the back surface of the interior product main body is a concept including a state in which a part of the intersecting part is melted and adhered.

以下、この発明の実施の形態を図面に基づいて説明する。   Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 shows a front part of a passenger seat of an instrument panel 1 that is an interior part for a vehicle with an airbag door according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line II-II in FIG. The instrument panel 1 includes a resin base material 3 formed of polypropylene (PP) or the like that constitutes an interior product body (instrument panel body), and the back surface of the base material 3 has two sides. Extending in parallel to the vehicle width direction and the other two sides extending in parallel to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body, a groove portion 5 having a substantially rectangular shape in plan view is formed, and the base material 3 portion corresponding to the groove portion 5 is thin. It is made into the fracture | rupture planned part 7 of the substantially rectangular shape in planar view.

そして、上記破断予定部7によって囲まれて、後述するエアバッグ装置31の作動により上記破断予定部7を破断して展開するエアバッグドア部9が画成されている。このエアバッグドア部9は、上記破断予定部7を形成する溝部5が基材3表面側から識別できない所謂シームレスタイプに構成されている。   And the airbag door part 9 which is surrounded by the said fracture | rupture scheduled part 7 and fractures | ruptures and expand | deploys the said fracture | rupture scheduled part 7 by the action | operation of the airbag apparatus 31 mentioned later is comprised. The airbag door portion 9 is configured as a so-called seamless type in which the groove portion 5 forming the planned fracture portion 7 cannot be identified from the surface side of the base material 3.

上記エアバッグドア部9及びその周辺の基材3裏面には、樹脂製エアバッグシュート11が振動溶着により一体に取り付けられている。このエアバッグシュート11は、図2に示すように、エアバッグ装置31を収容するための概略矩形筒状の枠体13を備えており、この枠体13の上端である開口端内側には、図3にも示すようにエアバッグが膨出する略矩形状のシューティング口15が形成される一方、その外側には、枠体13に略直交するようにシューティング口15の周辺部から外方に向かって延びるフランジ部17が一体に成形されている。   A resin air bag chute 11 is integrally attached to the back surface of the air bag door 9 and the surrounding base material 3 by vibration welding. As shown in FIG. 2, the airbag chute 11 includes a substantially rectangular tubular frame 13 for accommodating the airbag device 31. As shown in FIG. 3, a substantially rectangular shooting port 15 in which the airbag bulges is formed, and on the outer side thereof, outward from the peripheral portion of the shooting port 15 so as to be substantially orthogonal to the frame body 13. A flange portion 17 extending toward the top is integrally formed.

また、上記枠体13のシューティング口15を覆うように、基材3のエアバッグドア部9を補強するためのフラップ部19が配置されていて、その車体前方側(基端側)がシューティング口15の車体前側の縁部に設けられた断面S字状のヒンジ部21に一体に連結されている。このヒンジ部21及びフラップ部19も枠体13と一体に成形されており、これらは例えば、上記基材3よりも可撓性の高いサーモプラスチックオレフィン(TPO)等の軟質樹脂からなる。   Further, a flap portion 19 for reinforcing the airbag door portion 9 of the base material 3 is disposed so as to cover the shooting port 15 of the frame body 13, and the front side (base end side) of the vehicle body is the shooting port. 15 is integrally connected to a hinge portion 21 having an S-shaped cross section provided at an edge on the front side of the vehicle body. The hinge portion 21 and the flap portion 19 are also integrally formed with the frame body 13, and are made of a soft resin such as a thermoplastic plastic olefin (TPO) having higher flexibility than the base material 3.

上記フランジ部17及びフラップ部19の表面には、図3に示すように、互いに斜めに交差する格子状の溶着リブ23,25が一体に突設されており、これら溶着リブ23,25を介してフラップ部19及びフランジ部17が、それぞれ基材3のエアバッグドア部9裏面及びこれを囲む部位に振動溶着により固定されることで、その基材3の裏側に、エアバッグドア部9に対応付けてエアバッグシュート11が一体に取り付けられるようになっている。   As shown in FIG. 3, lattice-shaped welding ribs 23 and 25 that obliquely intersect each other are integrally projected on the surfaces of the flange portion 17 and the flap portion 19, and the welding ribs 23 and 25 are interposed therebetween. The flap portion 19 and the flange portion 17 are fixed to the back surface of the air bag door portion 9 of the base material 3 and the portion surrounding the air bag door 9 by vibration welding. Correspondingly, the airbag chute 11 is integrally attached.

上記溶着リブ23,25は、図4(a)にも拡大して示すように、フランジ部17及びフラップ部19の長手方向(両図の横方向)である振動溶着時の振動方向に対して各々正方向(図の反時計回りの向き)に略45°傾斜して延びる複数の第1リブ23(第1方向突条部)と、各々振動方向に対し上記第1リブ23と対称に傾斜して(つまり、図の時計回りの向きである負方向に略45°傾斜して)延びる複数の第2リブ25(第2方向突条部)とからなり、詳しくは図4(b)(c)等を参照して後述するが、両者が概ね均一に基材3裏面に溶着されている。   The welding ribs 23 and 25 are enlarged with respect to the vibration direction at the time of vibration welding, which is the longitudinal direction of the flange portion 17 and the flap portion 19 (lateral direction in both drawings) as shown in FIG. 4 (a). A plurality of first ribs 23 (first ridges) extending in a positive direction (counterclockwise direction in the drawing) inclined at approximately 45 °, and inclined symmetrically with the first rib 23 with respect to the vibration direction. (That is, inclined by about 45 ° in the negative direction, which is the clockwise direction in the drawing), and a plurality of second ribs 25 (second direction protrusions). As will be described later with reference to c) and the like, both are substantially uniformly welded to the back surface of the substrate 3.

上記枠体13内には、車体前後方向からの衝撃から助手席の乗員を保護するためのエアバッグ及びインフレータ等を備えたエアバッグ装置31が収納されている。このエアバッグ装置31には、複数のフック33が車幅方向に間隔をあけて固定され、これらフック33を枠体13に形成された複数の掛合孔13aに挿入することで、エアバッグ装置31の作動時に各フック33が各掛合孔13aの周縁に引っ掛かり、枠体13が飛び出さないようになっている。   An air bag device 31 including an air bag, an inflator, and the like for protecting the passenger in the front passenger seat from an impact from the front-rear direction of the vehicle body is housed in the frame 13. A plurality of hooks 33 are fixed to the airbag device 31 at intervals in the vehicle width direction, and the hook devices 33 are inserted into a plurality of engaging holes 13 a formed in the frame body 13, whereby the airbag device 31. Each of the hooks 33 is hooked on the periphery of each of the engaging holes 13a during the operation, so that the frame body 13 does not pop out.

上記エアバッグ装置31の下端には、金属製ブラケット35が溶接により固定されており、このブラケット35を、車幅方向に延びてインストルメントパネル1を支持するインパネレインフォースメント41のブラケット部41aに重ね合わせて、両者に形成された貫通孔(図示せず)にボルト37を挿入し、これにナット39を螺合させることにより、締結している。こうしてエアバッグ装置31の下端部は、ブラケット35を介してインパネレインフォースメント41に連結支持されている。   A metal bracket 35 is fixed to the lower end of the airbag device 31 by welding, and the bracket 35 extends to the bracket portion 41a of the instrument panel reinforcement 41 that extends in the vehicle width direction and supports the instrument panel 1. The bolts 37 are overlapped, and bolts 37 are inserted into through holes (not shown) formed in both of them, and nuts 39 are screwed into the bolts 37 to fasten them. Thus, the lower end portion of the airbag device 31 is connected and supported to the instrument panel reinforcement 41 via the bracket 35.

次に、エアバッグシュート11を基材3裏面に振動溶着する要領を図5等を参照して説明する。まず、振動溶着前の溶着リブ23,25の形状は、図4(b)に示すように、第1及び第2リブ23,25が概略同じ高さとなるように突設され、それぞれ、突端に開放するように断面V字状の溝部23a,25aが形成されている。このように溶着リブ23,25が形成されたフランジ部17及びフラップ部19の表面が下方を向くようにして、エアバッグシュート11を上側の第1振動溶着治具43にセットする一方、基材3はその裏面側が上方を向くようにして下側の第2振動溶着治具45にセットする。   Next, the procedure for vibration welding the airbag chute 11 to the back surface of the substrate 3 will be described with reference to FIG. First, as shown in FIG. 4 (b), the shape of the welding ribs 23 and 25 before vibration welding is projected so that the first and second ribs 23 and 25 have substantially the same height. Grooves 23a and 25a having a V-shaped cross section are formed so as to open. The airbag chute 11 is set on the upper first vibration welding jig 43 so that the surfaces of the flange portion 17 and the flap portion 19 on which the welding ribs 23 and 25 are formed as described above face downward. 3 is set in the second vibration welding jig 45 on the lower side so that the back side faces upward.

そして、図5に示すように第1及び第2振動溶着治具43,45によってエアバッグシュート11と基材3とを挟持し、この状態で上側の第1振動溶着治具43を上方から第2振動溶着治具45に押し付けながら、所定の方向(図において紙面に直交する方向)に加振する。これにより、それぞれ基材3裏面に接触している溶着リブ23,25が突端側から、即ちその溝部23a,25aの側壁の稜線部から溶けて、基材3の裏面に接着され、図4(c)に示すように溝部23a,25aの側壁に相当する部位が全て溶けた頃に、振動溶着を終了する。   Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the airbag chute 11 and the base material 3 are sandwiched by the first and second vibration welding jigs 43 and 45, and in this state, the upper first vibration welding jig 43 is While pressing against the two-vibration welding jig 45, vibration is applied in a predetermined direction (a direction perpendicular to the paper surface in the figure). Thereby, the welding ribs 23 and 25 respectively contacting the back surface of the base material 3 are melted from the projecting side, that is, from the ridge line portions of the side walls of the groove portions 23a and 25a, and are adhered to the back surface of the base material 3. As shown in c), the vibration welding is finished when all the portions corresponding to the side walls of the groove portions 23a and 25a are melted.

このようにして得られたインストルメントパネル1では、車両が衝突すると、エアバッグ装置31のエアバッグがインフレータの作動によって膨出し、その膨出圧でエアバッグドア部9及びフラップ部19が上方に押圧されて破断予定部7が破断するとともにヒンジ部21が直線状態に伸び、これにより、エアバッグドア部9がフラップ部19と一体になって上方に突出し、その後、上記ヒンジ部21を開作動支点として回動して、車体後方上向きに開くようになる。   In the instrument panel 1 thus obtained, when the vehicle collides, the airbag of the airbag device 31 is inflated by the operation of the inflator, and the airbag door portion 9 and the flap portion 19 are moved upward by the inflation pressure. By being pressed, the portion 7 to be broken breaks and the hinge portion 21 extends in a straight line. As a result, the airbag door portion 9 projects upward together with the flap portion 19, and then opens the hinge portion 21. It pivots as a fulcrum and opens up rearward of the vehicle body.

したがって、この実施形態では、上述の如くエアバッグシュート11のフランジ部17及びフラップ部19の表面に互いに斜めに交差する2方向の溶着リブ23,25を格子状に形成し、それらを基材3の裏面に溶着させて固定するようにしているので、溶着面積を確保することが容易であり、強固な接合状態を得る上で有利である。   Therefore, in this embodiment, as described above, the two-direction welding ribs 23 and 25 that obliquely intersect each other are formed on the surface of the flange portion 17 and the flap portion 19 of the airbag chute 11 in a lattice shape, and these are formed on the substrate 3. Therefore, it is easy to secure a welding area, which is advantageous in obtaining a strong joined state.

しかも、上記2方向の溶着リブ23,25を振動方向に対し対称になるように傾斜させているので、振動溶着の際に両者に加わる熱量が略同じになり、その溶け具合も略同じになる。このことで、上記フランジ部17及びフラップ部19の全体が全体が略均一の強度で基材3裏面に取り付けられることになり、エアバッグシュート11によってエアバッグの展開作動を安定的に確保することができるとともに、その際にエアバッグドア部9が吹き飛ばされて車両の乗員に衝突する心配もなく、安全面でも好ましい。   Moreover, since the two-direction welding ribs 23 and 25 are inclined so as to be symmetric with respect to the vibration direction, the amount of heat applied to the two during vibration welding is substantially the same, and the degree of fusion is also substantially the same. . As a result, the entirety of the flange portion 17 and the flap portion 19 is attached to the back surface of the base material 3 with substantially uniform strength, and the airbag chute 11 can stably secure the airbag deployment operation. In this case, the airbag door portion 9 is blown away and there is no fear of colliding with the vehicle occupant, which is preferable in terms of safety.

また、上記2方向の溶着リブ23,25の振動溶着の際の溶け具合が略同じになるため、基材3を薄くしても、従来までのように基材3の表面に波打つような模様が浮き出ることはなくなる。つまり、外観不良が発生せず、見栄えが向上するので、商品価値を高めることができる。   In addition, since the welding conditions during the vibration welding of the two-direction welding ribs 23 and 25 are substantially the same, even if the base material 3 is made thin, it appears to wave on the surface of the base material 3 as before. No longer appears. In other words, the appearance is improved and the appearance is improved, so that the commercial value can be increased.

尚、上記実施形態1では、図3や図4(a)などに示すように、第1、第2リブ23,25をそれぞれ振動方向に対して正方向及び負方向に略45°傾斜させているが、この傾斜角度は例えば図6(a)に一例を示すように45°未満とする方が好ましい。リブ23,25の傾斜角度が小さいほど、摩擦熱が集中して溶着を効果的に行えるからである。   In the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4A, the first and second ribs 23 and 25 are inclined approximately 45 ° in the positive and negative directions with respect to the vibration direction, respectively. However, this inclination angle is preferably less than 45 ° as shown in FIG. 6 (a), for example. This is because as the inclination angle of the ribs 23 and 25 is smaller, the frictional heat is concentrated and welding can be effectively performed.

但し、振動方向に対する溶着リブの傾斜角度をあまり小さくすると、このリブを成形するための型の強度が確保し難くなる上に、型抜きの問題も生じるから、傾斜角度は概略25〜35°くらいとするのが最も好ましい。   However, if the inclination angle of the welding rib with respect to the vibration direction is made too small, it becomes difficult to secure the strength of the mold for forming this rib, and the problem of die-cutting also occurs, so the inclination angle is about 25 to 35 °. Is most preferable.

さらに、上記実施形態1では、第1、第2リブ23,25をそれぞれ同じ間隔で配置しているが、これに限らず、例えば図6(b)のように第1、第2リブ23,25は互いに異なる間隔で配置することもできる(図の例では複数の第2リブ25同士の間隔を第1リブ23よりも広くしている)。   Furthermore, in the first embodiment, the first and second ribs 23 and 25 are arranged at the same interval. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 25 can also be arranged at different intervals (in the example of the figure, the intervals between the plurality of second ribs 25 are wider than those of the first ribs 23).

(実施形態2)
図7は、本発明の実施形態2に係るエアバッグシュート11における溶着リブ23,25の構成を示し、この実施形態2のものは、図6(a)に示す上記実施形態1の変形例において、第1及び第2リブ23,25をそれらが交差する部位では基材3の裏面に溶着固定しないようにしたものである。その点を除いて実施形態2の構成は前記実施形態1のものと同じなので、同一部材には同一の符号を付して、その説明は省略する。
(Embodiment 2)
FIG. 7 shows the configuration of the welding ribs 23 and 25 in the airbag chute 11 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. This second embodiment is the same as the modification of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 6 (a). The first and second ribs 23 and 25 are not welded and fixed to the back surface of the substrate 3 at the portion where they intersect. Except for this point, the configuration of the second embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment. Therefore, the same members are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.

そして、この実施形態2では、図7(a)の一部(破線で囲んだb部)を拡大して同図(b)に示すように、2方向の溶着リブ23,25の交差する部位(以下、交差部24という)をそれ以外の部位よりも所定量、低い(図の例では溝部23a,25aの底部と同じ高さの)平坦面に成形して、上記実施形態1と同様に基材3の裏面に振動溶着することで、同図(c)に厚み方向の断面で示すように、両溶着リブ23,25のそれぞれが基材3裏面に溶着固定された状態で、交差部24はちょうど基材3裏面に当接するようにしたものである。   And in this Embodiment 2, as shown to the same figure (b) by expanding a part (b part enclosed with the broken line) of Fig.7 (a), the site | part which the welding ribs 23 and 25 of two directions cross | intersect (Hereinafter referred to as “intersection 24”) is shaped into a flat surface (in the example shown in the figure, the same height as the bottom of the grooves 23a and 25a) lower than the other parts, and is formed in the same manner as in the first embodiment. By vibration welding to the back surface of the base material 3, as shown in the cross section in the thickness direction in FIG. 5C, both the welding ribs 23 and 25 are welded and fixed to the back surface of the base material 3. Reference numeral 24 denotes a contact with the back surface of the base material 3.

すなわち、上記実施形態1のように交差部24をそれ以外の部位と同じ高さに成形して、振動溶着すると、この交差部24にはそれ以外の部位に比べて摩擦熱が集中しやすいため、やや溶融量が多くなり、このため、各リブ同士の間隔やそれぞれの溶着量の設定によっては基材3の外観不良を引き起こす可能性があるが、上記のように交差部24を低くして、基材3裏面に実質的に溶着させないようにすれば、そのような問題は生じないのである。   That is, when the intersecting portion 24 is formed at the same height as other portions and vibration welded as in the first embodiment, frictional heat is more likely to concentrate on the intersecting portion 24 as compared to other portions. The amount of melting is slightly increased. For this reason, depending on the interval between the ribs and the setting of the amount of welding, the appearance of the base material 3 may be deteriorated. Such a problem does not occur if the substrate 3 is not substantially welded to the back surface.

つまり、実施形態2によれば、第1及び第2リブ23,25の交差部24を基材3裏面に実質的に溶着しないようにすることで、外観不良の発生をより確実に防止することができる。   That is, according to the second embodiment, by preventing the intersecting portion 24 of the first and second ribs 23 and 25 from being substantially welded to the back surface of the base material 3, it is possible to more reliably prevent the occurrence of appearance defects. Can do.

尚、上記図7(b)に示すように、交差部24を溝部23a,25aの底部と略同じ高さにしておけば、振動溶着の際に溶着リブ23,25の溝部23a,25aの側壁に相当する部位が全て溶けて、交差部24が接触し始めたときに摩擦抵抗が増大することになるので、こうなる時期を予め実験により求めておき、この時期に振動溶着を終了するようにすればよい。   As shown in FIG. 7 (b), if the intersecting portion 24 is set at substantially the same height as the bottom portions of the groove portions 23a and 25a, the side walls of the groove portions 23a and 25a of the welding ribs 23 and 25 during vibration welding. Since the frictional resistance will increase when all of the parts corresponding to are melted and the intersecting portion 24 starts to contact, such a time is obtained in advance by experiment, and the vibration welding is finished at this time. do it.

そうしていても交差部24の一部が溶けて、基材3の裏面に付着することもあると考えられるが、その程度であれば基材3の表面に不良を引き起こす虞れはなく、何ら問題はない。従って、上記交差部24を基材3裏面に当接させる、というのは、そのように交差部24の一部が溶けて基材3裏面に付着している程度の状態も含むものである。   Even so, it is considered that a part of the intersecting portion 24 melts and may adhere to the back surface of the base material 3, but there is no risk of causing a defect on the surface of the base material 3 as long as it is, There is no problem. Therefore, bringing the intersecting portion 24 into contact with the back surface of the base material 3 includes such a state that a part of the crossing portion 24 is melted and adhered to the back surface of the base material 3.

また、そのように交差部24を基材3の裏面に当接させる必要はなく、溶着リブ23,25において交差部24をそれ以外の部位よりも充分に低くして、振動要着の終了時点で交差部24が基材3裏面から離間するようにしてもよい。   Further, it is not necessary for the intersecting portion 24 to contact the back surface of the base material 3 as described above, and the intersecting portion 24 is made sufficiently lower than the other portions in the welding ribs 23 and 25 to finish the vibration attachment. Thus, the intersecting portion 24 may be separated from the back surface of the base material 3.

さらに、上記実施形態2では、上記実施形態1の変形例のように第1及び第2リブ23,25が斜めに交差する場合に、それらの交差部24を基材3の裏面に溶着固定しないようにしたものであるが、このような交差部24は、上記実施形態1のように第1及び第2リブ23,25が略直交する場合に設けてもよい。   Furthermore, in the said Embodiment 2, when the 1st and 2nd ribs 23 and 25 cross | intersect diagonally like the modification of the said Embodiment 1, those crossing parts 24 are not welded and fixed to the back surface of the base material 3. FIG. As described above, such an intersection 24 may be provided when the first and second ribs 23 and 25 are substantially orthogonal as in the first embodiment.

上述した実施形態1,2のエアバッグシュート11は、フランジ部17の他、ヒンジ部21及びフラップ部19も枠体13と一体にTPO等により成形しているが、これに限らず、例えば、枠体13の主要部を硬質樹脂により形成して、上記フランジ部17、フラップ部19及びヒンジ部21等の一体成形品に組み付けるようにしてもよい。   In the airbag chute 11 of the first and second embodiments described above, the hinge part 21 and the flap part 19 are also molded integrally with the frame body 13 by TPO or the like in addition to the flange part 17. The main part of the frame 13 may be formed of a hard resin and assembled to an integrally molded product such as the flange part 17, the flap part 19, and the hinge part 21.

また、上記各実施形態では、エアバッグシュート11の1枚のフラップ部19が、インストルメントパネル基材3のエアバッグドア部9と一体になって、車体後方上向きに開くようになっているが、これに限らず、例えば2枚のフラップ部がそれぞれ車体前後のヒンジ部を回動支点にして車体後方上向き及び車体前方上向きに開く、所謂観音開きであってもよい。   Moreover, in each said embodiment, although the one flap part 19 of the airbag chute | shoot 11 is united with the airbag door part 9 of the instrument panel base material 3, it opens the vehicle body back upward. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the so-called double doors may be used in which the two flap portions open upward and backward in the vehicle body with the hinge portions at the front and rear of the vehicle body as pivot points.

また、上記各実施形態では、破断予定部7をインストルメントパネル本体7の裏面に形成された溝部9によって形成したが、これに限らず、例えば針状穴を密接させて多数凹設することで破断予定部7を形成してもよい。   Moreover, in each said embodiment, although the fracture | rupture planned part 7 was formed by the groove part 9 formed in the back surface of the instrument panel main body 7, it is not restricted to this, For example, by making many needle-shaped holes closely and providing concave The planned fracture portion 7 may be formed.

さらに、上記各実施形態では、車両用内装品がインストルメントパネル1である場合を示したが、本発明は他の車両用内装品にも適用することができる。   Further, in each of the above embodiments, the case where the vehicle interior product is the instrument panel 1 has been shown, but the present invention can also be applied to other vehicle interior products.
