Description

  The present invention relates to a vehicle exterior member represented by a rear spoiler.

  A vehicle exterior member such as a rear spoiler or a rear wing may be attached to the vehicle. For example, a rear spoiler is composed of a spoiler upper that forms the upper part and a spoiler lower that is assembled to the lower side of the spoiler upper and uses the space defined between the spoiler upper and the spoiler lower. A lamp is installed (see Patent Document 1). In the rear spoiler, a spoiler upper and a spoiler lower are molded from a thermoplastic resin, and both members are mainly joined by vibration welding.

  Since the rear spoiler is exposed to the outside of the vehicle, high safety is required so that the spoiler upper and the spoiler lower are not separated. Therefore, the rear spoiler has a mounting boss provided with a screw hole integrally projectingly formed on the surface (inner surface) facing the space defined between the spoiler upper and the spoiler lower, and a slide lower between the mounting boss and the rear spoiler. Screws are screwed into the screw holes and fastened together. As described above, in the rear spoiler, the spoiler upper and the spoiler lower are supplementarily assembled also by vibration welding and another mechanical fastening means.

In the embodiment, the direction of the rear spoiler is designated with reference to the vehicle.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 8, the rear spoiler 10 includes an outer member 12 constituting a design surface of the rear spoiler 10, an inner member 22 joined to the outer member 12 by vibration welding, and an inner member 22 in the outer member 12. And a high-mount stop lamp (hereinafter simply referred to as a lamp) 34 as a functional member attached to the installation portion 14 provided in the overlapping portion. The rear spoiler 10 is reinforced by joining an inner member 22 by vibration welding to an internal space surrounded by the outer member 12 constituting the design surface and the vehicle body S of the vehicle (see FIGS. 2 to 4). The rear spoiler 10 is configured to mechanically fasten the outer member 12 and the inner member 22 separately from vibration welding by a fastener 40 for attaching the lamp 34 to the main body including the outer member 12 and the inner member 22. (See FIG. 2 or FIG. 5). The rear spoiler 10 is a long member whose length extends in the left-right direction (see FIG. 1). In the rear spoiler 10 of the embodiment, the outer member 12 and the inner member extend along the left-right direction where the length extends during vibration welding. The member 22 is joined by relatively vibrating. The rear spoiler 10 is attached to, for example, the rear upper side of the vehicle body S by an attachment C attached to the inner member 22 (see FIG. 4).

  The outer member 12 is a member obtained by molding a thermoplastic resin into a required shape by, for example, injection molding or the like. In the embodiment, the outer member 12 is formed in a curved shape in which the front side is open and the rear side is convex (FIG. 2). (See FIG. 4). That is, the rear spoiler 10 is attached to the vehicle body S with the open end of the outer member 12 abutted against the vehicle body S. The inner member 22 is housed in an internal space defined between the rear spoiler 10 and the vehicle body S, and is connected to the lamp 34. A harness H (refer to FIG. 6) or the like is routed using the internal space. The outer member 12 is provided with an installation portion 14 to which a lamp 34 is attached at a central portion in the left-right direction of a lower surface portion 12b extending downward with the curved portion 12a of the outer member 12 interposed therebetween. In the outer member 12 of the embodiment, the installation portion 14 has a step in which the lower surface portion 12b is recessed inward (on the upper surface portion 12c side extending across the curved portion 12a of the outer member 12) according to the outer shape of the lamp 34. The lamp 34 is fitted into the installation portion 14.

  The outer member 12 has a pair of outer locking pieces 18 formed to extend in the vibration direction at each of the end portions separated in the vibration direction (left and right direction in the embodiment) at the time of vibration welding in the installation portion 14. , 18 (see FIG. 8). In the outer member 12 of the embodiment, an outer opening 16 communicating with the internal space is formed through the ceiling surface (upper surface) of the installation portion 14, and the outer opening 16 is formed at an opening edge that is separated in the vibration direction at the time of vibration welding. A pair of outer locking pieces 18, 18 are provided. Each outer locking piece 18 is a plate-like portion whose plate surface extends along the lower surface portion 12b, and is formed so as to be parallel to the surface of the outer member 12. The protrusion is not formed so as to intersect the surface of the outer member 12. Further, an outer locking hole 20 is formed through each outer locking piece 18. Each outer locking hole 20 is formed in a long hole shape that extends in the vibration direction during vibration welding. Each outer locking hole 20 is connected to the outer opening 16, and the pair of outer locking holes 20, 20 are formed so that the sides facing each other are opened.

  The inner member 22 is a member obtained by molding a thermoplastic resin into a required shape by, for example, injection molding or the like. The inner member 22 extends downward from a lower surface portion 12b across the curved portion 12a of the outer member 12. It is attached between the upper surface part 12c (refer FIGS. 2-4). The inner member 22 is formed in a long shape extending in the left-right direction in the same manner as the outer member 12, and a plurality of welding protrusions 24 are provided at portions facing the lower surface portion 12 b and the upper surface portion 12 c of the outer member 12. (See FIG. 6), these welding projections 24 are melted and joined to the outer member 12.

  The inner member 22 includes an inner locking piece 26 that is located at a position overlapping the installation portion 14 of the outer member 12 and is provided so as to overlap the pair of outer locking pieces 18, 18 (FIG. 5). reference). In the inner member 22, a pair of inner locking pieces 26, 26 are provided in the rear central portion so as to be separated in the vibration direction (see FIG. 9), and each inner locking piece 26 corresponds to an outer locking piece on the corresponding side. 18 overlaps the inner surface opposite to the surface on which the lamp 34 is mounted (see FIG. 2). Each inner locking piece 26 is a plate-like portion whose plate surface extends in the vibration direction during vibration welding, and an inner locking hole 28 is formed therethrough. Each inner locking hole 28 is provided in the inner locking piece 26 so as to overlap the outer locking hole 20 on the corresponding side. The pair of outer locking holes 20, 20 are formed so that opposite sides are open (see FIG. 9), and an open end is set to match the open end of the outer locking hole 20.

  The inner locking piece 26 is provided with an inner protrusion (protrusion) 30 on the surface facing the outer locking piece 18 so as to surround the opening edge of the inner locking hole 28 (FIG. 2 or FIG. 2). (See FIG. 5). The inner protrusion 30 has an outer dimension in a direction intersecting with a vibration direction at the time of vibration welding (hereinafter simply referred to as a “crossing direction”) set to be the same as the width of the outer locking hole 20 in the intersecting direction. It is comprised so that it may be clamped between the opening edges which oppose the cross direction of the outer latching hole 20 (refer FIG. 2). Here, the outer locking hole 20 of the outer locking piece 18 is formed to have a larger width in the vibration direction than the outer dimension of the inner protrusion 30 in the vibration direction in consideration of the amplitude at the time of vibration welding. The outer locking hole 20 is set to have a width that allows movement of the inner protrusion 30 fitted in the outer locking hole 20 in the vibration direction during vibration welding. The inner protrusion 30 is set so that the protruding dimension from the inner locking piece 26 is smaller than the thickness of the outer locking piece 18 (see FIG. 2), and the inner protrusion 30 inserted into the outer locking hole 20 does not protrude toward the lamp 34 side. It is like that.

  The rear spoiler 10 is connected to the lamp 34 and the outer member 12 by a fastener 40 inserted into the outer locking hole 20 and the inner locking hole 28 via the lamp 34 covering the outer opening 16 and the outer locking pieces 18 and 18. And the inner member 22 is assembled | attached mechanically (refer FIG. 2 or FIG. 5). The lamp 34 of the embodiment is provided with a recess 36 that is recessed upward corresponding to the outer locking piece 18 at each of the end portions that are separated in the vibration direction, and the fastener 40 is inserted into the upper surface of the recess 36. A through hole 38 is formed in accordance with the outer locking hole 20. That is, the fastener 40 is inserted into the outer locking hole 20 and the inner locking hole 28 through the through hole 38.

  The fastener 40 of the embodiment includes a so-called bobbin type nut 42 and a bolt 48 screwed into a screw hole 44a of the nut 42 (see FIG. 2 or FIG. 6). The nut 42 includes a cylindrical portion 44 having a screw hole 44 a and a pair of holding pieces 46, 46 formed to extend in the radial direction over the entire circumference of both ends of the cylindrical portion 44. The outer diameter of the inner locking hole 28 is set to be the same as the opening width in the crossing direction of the inner locking hole 28 (see FIG. 2). Further, the outer diameter of the holding piece 46 is set to be larger than the opening width in the intersecting direction of the inner locking holes 28 and the opening width in the intersecting direction of the outer locking holes 20. In the nut 42, the separation width of the holding pieces 46, 46 facing each other with the cylindrical portion 44 interposed therebetween is set to the same thickness as the outer locking piece 18 and the inner locking piece 26 overlapped. Thus, the nut 42 is an opening in which the cylindrical portion 44 faces the crossing direction of the inner locking hole 28 when the cylindrical portion 44 is commonly inserted into the outer locking hole 20 and the inner locking hole 28. The outer locking piece 18 and the inner locking piece 26 are sandwiched between the pair of holding pieces 46 and 46 while being held between the edges.

  In the embodiment, a so-called stepped bolt is used as the bolt 48 (see FIG. 2 or FIG. 5). The bolt 48 has a head portion 50 whose outer diameter is set larger than the through hole 38 of the lamp 34, a first shaft portion 52 connected to the head portion 50, a tip end side of the bolt 48, and a first shaft portion. The second shaft portion 54 is formed narrower than the second shaft portion 54. The bolt 48 is formed so that the first shaft portion 52 is aligned with the through-hole 38 of the lamp 34 set larger than the screw hole 44 a of the nut 42, and a screw groove is provided on the outer periphery of the second shaft portion 54. The second shaft portion 54 is screwed into the screw hole 44a. The bolt 48 has the same length (axial length) from the connection portion with the head portion 50 in the first shaft portion 52 to the connection portion with the second shaft portion 54 as the thickness of the recess portion 36 in the lamp 34. Or it is set slightly larger than this thickness. That is, the bolt 48 is a step at the boundary between the first shaft portion 52 and the second shaft portion 54 when the second shaft portion 54 is screwed into the screw hole 44 a of the nut 42 through the through hole 38 of the lamp 34. The portion contacts the opening edge of the screw hole 44 a in the nut 42, and the head 50 is configured to contact the recess 36 of the lamp 34. Thereby, when the bolt 48 is screwed into the nut 42, the step portion of the first shaft portion 52 abuts against the nut 42 and the screwing amount is defined, so that the bolt 48 excessively tightens the concave portion 36 of the lamp 34. The lamp 34 can be prevented from being deformed or damaged due to excessive tightening of the bolts 48. Moreover, since the length of the first shaft portion 52 is set to be substantially the same as the thickness of the recess 36, the bolt 48 sandwiches the recess 36 between the nut 42 and the head 50 of the bolt 48, thereby 34 can be fixed without rattling.

  The inner locking piece 26 has a pair of restricting pieces 32 and 32 extending along the vibration direction on the surface opposite to the outer locking piece 18 (upper surface in the embodiment) and sandwiches the inner locking hole 28. And projecting apart in the crossing direction. The pair of restricting pieces 32, 32 extend in parallel with the opening edge extending in the vibration direction of the inner locking hole 28, and have a width that is the same as or slightly larger than the outer dimension of the nut 42 in the intersecting direction of the holding piece 46. Are spaced apart.

(Effects of Example)
Next, the operation of the rear spoiler 10 according to the embodiment will be described. In assembling the constituent members of the rear spoiler 10, first, the inner member 22 is accommodated inside the outer member 12, the inner locking piece 26 is overlapped with the outer locking piece 18, and the inner protrusion 30 is inserted into the outer locking hole 20. . Here, since the inner protrusion 30 is sandwiched by the opening edges facing the outer locking hole 20 in the crossing direction, the inner member 22 can be positioned in the crossing direction with respect to the outer member 12. That is, the rear spoiler 10 can position the outer member 12 and the inner member 22 in the crossing direction without using a jig before vibration welding, and the inner surface of the outer member 12 can be positioned between the inner member 22 and the inner member 22. Therefore, there is no need to separately provide positioning means such as a pedestal or a protrusion for positioning. Thus, since the rear spoiler 10 can omit the positioning means formed on the inner surface of the outer member 12, sink marks caused by the positioning means are generated on the outer surface of the outer member 12 constituting the design surface of the rear spoiler 10. No, the outer surface quality of the rear spoiler 10 can be improved.

  By causing the outer member 12 and the inner member 22 to vibrate relatively in the vibration direction, the welding protrusion 24 of the inner member 22 is melted, and the outer member 12 and the inner member 22 are joined. Since the outer locking hole 20 is formed in a long hole shape in consideration of the amplitude at the time of vibration welding, the inner protrusion 30 fitted in the outer locking hole 20 is allowed to move in the vibration direction. Further, in the vibration welding, the inner protrusion 30 is sandwiched between the opening edges facing the outer locking hole 20 in the crossing direction, and the relative movement of the outer member 12 and the inner member 22 in the crossing direction is restricted. The outer member 12 and the inner member 22 can be joined with high accuracy while suppressing displacement in the intersecting direction. Furthermore, in vibration welding, a jig for restricting the movement of the outer member 12 and the inner member 22 in the intersecting direction can be omitted or simplified.

  Next, by inserting the cylindrical portion 44 of the nut 42 from the open ends of the outer locking hole 20 and the inner locking hole 28, the outer locking piece 18 and the inner engagement between the pair of holding pieces 46, 46 facing each other. The stop piece 26 is clamped. By using such a bobbin type nut 42, the nut 42 is difficult to come off from the outer locking piece 18 and the inner locking piece 26, and the fastening operation of the bolt 48 is facilitated. Here, since the inner protrusion 30 is set smaller than the thickness of the outer locking piece 18 and the inner protrusion 30 does not protrude from the outer locking hole 20 of the outer locking piece 18, the inner protrusion 30 is not obstructed by the inner protrusion 30. The outer locking piece 18 and the inner locking piece 26 can be sandwiched between the holding pieces 46, 46 facing each other. Further, the holding piece 46 is guided and held in the nut 42 when inserted into the inner locking hole 28 by a pair of restricting pieces 32 and 32 provided with the inner locking hole 28 sandwiching the inner locking hole 28. The piece 46 is sandwiched between the pair of regulating pieces 32 and 32 and positioned in the crossing direction. Then, by bolting the bolt 48 inserted into the through hole 38 of the lamp 34 into the screw hole 44a of the nut 42, the lamp 34 is attached to the main body, and the outer member 12 and the inner member 22 are mechanically fastened. . As described above, in the rear spoiler 10, since the outer member 12 and the inner member 22 are commonly fastened by the fastener 40 to which the lamp 34 is attached, the machine using the fastener in addition to the vibration welding without increasing the number of parts. The high safety which prevents the outer member 12 and the inner member 22 from being separated is ensured by proper fastening.

  In the ramp 34, the bolts 48 are fastened to the nuts 42, so that the movement of the left and right nuts 42 in the direction close to each other is restricted. The position is regulated in contact. Thereby, the lamp 34 is fixed not only in the crossing direction but also in the vibration direction. The rear spoiler 10 is positioned by fitting the lamp 34 to the installation portion 14 with the fastener 40 so that the lamp 34 fits into the stepped installation portion 14.

  As described above, the rear spoiler 10 is required to auxiliaryly assemble the outer member 12 and the inner member 22 with mechanical fastening means such as screws and bolts in addition to main assembling means such as vibration welding. According to the rear spoiler 10 of the embodiment, since the outer member 12 and the inner member 22 are fastened by the fastener 40 that attaches the lamp 34 to the outer member 12, fastening means such as bolts and screws are fixed to the outer member 12. Therefore, it is not necessary to separately provide a boss or a pedestal, and the configuration of the outer member 12 can be simplified. The outer locking piece 18 is not formed so as to protrude from the inner surface of the outer member 12 so as to intersect the surface of the outer member 12, but is formed along the surface of the lower surface portion 12 b of the outer member 12. Since it extends in parallel with the outer surface, the formation of the outer locking piece 18 does not affect the outer surface of the outer member 12 such as sink marks. Thus, since the rear spoiler 10 can omit the fastening object of the fastening means formed on the inner surface of the outer member 12, the sink caused by the fastening object is formed on the outer surface of the outer member 12 constituting the design surface of the rear spoiler 10. The outer surface quality of the rear spoiler 10 can be improved. In addition, since the outer locking piece 18 is covered and hidden by the lamp 34, the appearance of the rear spoiler 10 is not impaired.
