Description

  The present invention relates to a reinforcing panel, and more particularly to a reinforcing panel including a panel in which a plurality of convex portions are two-dimensionally arranged.

  Reinforcing panels for reinforcing industrial products such as automobile door panels are required to have light weight as well as strength. In order to meet such a demand, a reinforcing panel called a truss core panel has been proposed.

  As such a truss core panel, for example, it has a triangular plane and a triangular bottom that shares one side and the bottom of the triangular plane, and is recessed to a predetermined one with respect to the plane. A concave-convex panel piece (the first panel of the present invention) having a concave portion (the convex portion of the present invention), the triangular bottom surface and the flat portion of the concave portion arranged in a plane-filled state, There is a reinforcing panel having a flat plate panel piece (second panel of the present invention) that is attached to the concavo-convex panel piece by being joined at the protruding end portion of the recess (Patent Document 1).

  In the reinforcing panel of this patent document 1, the uneven | corrugated panel piece and flat panel piece in which the some recessed part and the plane part were formed in the plane filling state are joined by the protrusion part of the recessed part. Thereby, with respect to an external load, tension acts on the flat portion and the flat panel pieces arranged on both sides of the reinforcing panel, so that high strength is maintained.

JP 2007-112356 A

  In the truss core panel such as the reinforcing panel of Patent Document 1, the load applied to the triangular plane portion is transmitted to the concave portion to maintain the strength of the plane portion. Therefore, the partial strength of the reinforcing panel depends on whether or not the concave portion is arranged around the flat portion. In the reinforcing panel of Patent Document 1, since the flat portion and the concave portion are configured in a plane-filled state, the concave portion is basically formed around the flat portion. However, in the edge part of a reinforcement panel, the location where the recessed part is not formed around a plane part exists. Therefore, in such a plane part, since the load on the side where the recess is not formed is not transmitted to the recess and the plane part itself needs to support the load, the strength decreases.

  Moreover, the reinforcement panel of patent document 1 uses steel, and the recessed part is press-molded. Although it is known that the strength of such a reinforcing panel depends on the depth of the concave portion, it is difficult to form a concave portion to obtain a sufficient strength due to drawability in press molding.

  Furthermore, since the concavo-convex panel piece and the flat panel piece are joined by welding, there is a problem that the cost increases.

  In view of such problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a reinforcing panel that can suppress a local decrease in strength with a simple configuration.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the reinforcing panel of the present invention includes a first panel in which a plurality of first protrusions having a predetermined shape are two-dimensionally arranged, and the first protrusions among the edges of the first panel. A second convex portion having a shape different from that of the first convex portion is disposed in a region where is not disposed.

  In the first panel in which a plurality of convex portions are two-dimensionally arranged, the rigidity of the entire first panel is increased by these convex portions, for example, the load applied to the flat portion formed between the convex portions is The strength of the flat portion is increased by being transmitted to the convex portions around the flat portion. However, in the flat part of the edge part of the first panel, there is a region where the intervals between the convex parts are sparse. In such a flat part, the rigidity of the first panel is not sufficient, and the applied load is not sufficiently transmitted to the convex part, and the strength is locally reduced. Therefore, in the said structure, the 2nd convex part of the shape different from a 1st convex part is provided in the area | region where the 1st convex part of the edge of a 1st panel is not arrange | positioned. Thereby, rigidity is increased over the entire surface of the first panel, and a load applied to a region (flat portion) where the first convex portion of the edge of the first panel is not disposed is applied to the first convex portion and the second convex portion. Since it is transmitted, the local intensity | strength fall can be prevented.

  In one preferred embodiment of the reinforcing panel of the present invention, the bottom shape of the first convex portion and the bottom shape of the second convex portion are similar in the plan view direction of the first panel, The bottom area of the second protrusion is smaller than the bottom area of the first protrusion. In this configuration, the first convex portion and the second convex portion can be efficiently arranged, and the load can be efficiently distributed and transmitted.

  In the first panel in which a plurality of convex portions are two-dimensionally arranged, the strength depends on the height of the convex portions. Therefore, in one of the preferable embodiments of the reinforcing panel of the present invention, the height of the first convex portion and the height of the second convex portion are configured to be the same. Thereby, the load which the 1st convex part and the 2nd convex part can support can be equalized, and a local strength fall can be prevented.

  In one preferred embodiment of the reinforcing panel of the present invention, the first panel is made of resin, and is made of a metal in a state where it abuts on at least a part of the first convex portion formed on the first panel. The 2nd panel of this is arranged facing.

  In this structure, the 1st convex part and the 2nd convex part can be easily formed by comprising a 1st panel with resin. In particular, the bottom surface shape of the first protrusion and the bottom surface shape of the second protrusion are similar, the bottom area of the second protrusion is smaller than the bottom area of the first protrusion, and the height of the first protrusion is high. If the first panel is made of a metal such as steel when the height of the second protrusion is the same, it is difficult to form the second protrusion at a sufficient height because of its drawability. It is. On the other hand, such a 2nd convex part can be easily formed if the 1st panel is comprised with resin like this structure.

  Further, in this configuration, since the metallic second panel is disposed so as to abut against at least a part of the first convex portion, the load transmitted to the first convex portion is made of the metal second panel. The strength of the reinforcing panel can be increased.

  In one preferred embodiment of the reinforcing panel of the present invention, a gripping portion for gripping at least two edges facing each other from the front and back directions among the edges of the first panel is provided on the edge of the second panel. I have.

  In this configuration, since the grip portion formed on the second panel grips at least two edge portions of the first panel facing each other from the front and back sides, the first panel and the second panel can be easily assembled. Therefore, there is no need for welding or the like, and the manufacturing becomes inexpensive. In addition, there is an effect of improving the strength of the edge portion of the first panel held by the holding portion. When assembling the first panel and the second panel, for example, if the first panel is inserted so as to slide from the side of the second panel that does not have the gripping portion, the first panel and the second panel can be easily assembled.

It is a top view of the 1st panel in the conventional reinforcement panel. It is a disassembled perspective view of the reinforcement panel of this invention. It is a top view of the 1st panel in the reinforcement panel of this invention. It is an enlarged plan view of the edge part of the 1st panel in the reinforcement panel of this invention. It is a side view of the 1st panel in the reinforcement panel of this invention.

  FIG. 1 is a plan view of a first panel Q1 in which convex portions in a conventional reinforcing panel are formed. As is apparent from the figure, the first panel Q1 has a plurality of convex portions 1 formed two-dimensionally, and a substantially triangular flat portion 3 is formed between the convex portions 1. In such a reinforcing panel, the load applied to the flat portion 3 is distributed and transmitted to the convex portions 1 formed around the flat portion 3, thereby maintaining the strength of the flat portion. Therefore, the rigidity of the entire first panel Q1 is increased, and the entire first panel Q1 is hardly bent. Therefore, the partial strength of the flat portion 3 depends on whether or not the convex portion 1 capable of distributing and transmitting the load is formed around the flat portion 3.

  For example, the flat part 3a is surrounded by the convex parts 1a, 1b and 1c. Therefore, the load applied to the flat portion 3a is distributed and transmitted to the convex portions 1a, 1b and 1c. On the other hand, the flat portion 3b of the edge 4 of the first panel Q1 is adjacent to the protrusions 1d and 1e, but there is a protrusion 1 adjacent to the edge of the flat portion 3b on the edge 4 side of the first panel 1. do not do. Therefore, the load applied to the flat part 3b is distributed and transmitted to these convex parts 1 from the side of the flat part 3b adjacent to the convex parts 1d and 1e. However, the load cannot be transmitted from the side of the flat portion 3b on the edge 4 side of the first panel Q1 to the convex portion 1, and the flat portion 3b supports the load. Accordingly, the load supported by the flat portion 3b is larger than that of the flat portion 3a, causing a local strength reduction.

  Embodiments of the reinforcing panel of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the reinforcing panel of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the reinforcing panel is composed of a first panel P1 and a second panel P2. The first panel P1 is made of a thermoplastic resin such as PA (polyamide), PPS (polyphenylene sulfide), ABS (acrylonitrile / butadiene / styrene). On the other hand, the second panel P2 is made of metal such as steel.

  FIG. 3 is a plan view of the first panel P1 in the reinforcing panel of the present invention. Similarly to the conventional first panel Q1, the first panel P1 according to the present invention has a plurality of first convex portions 11 formed two-dimensionally, and a flat portion 13 is formed between the first convex portions 11. ing. Moreover, as shown in the drawing, the second convex portion 12 is formed on the flat portion 13 of the edge portion 14 of the first panel P1 according to the present invention.

  As is apparent from the figure, in the present embodiment, the bottom surface of the first convex portion 11 (cross section on the flat portion 13 side in the plan view direction) is configured to be an equilateral triangle. Further, the bottom shapes of the first convex portions 11 are all oriented in the same direction, and are arranged two-dimensionally so that the vertices of the respective bottom surface shapes are close to each other. Thereby, the flat part 13 is formed in the substantially triangular shape.

  On the other hand, the 2nd convex part 12 is arrange | positioned at the flat part 13 of the edge part 14 of the 1st panel P1, as mentioned above. In the present embodiment, the bottom surface shape of the second convex portion 12 is similar to the bottom surface shape of the first convex portion 11, and the bottom area of the second convex portion 12 is smaller than the bottom area of the first convex portion 11. It has become. In this embodiment, the bottom area of the 2nd convex part 12 is made into about 1/4 of the bottom area of the 1st convex part 11 (namely, the similar shape of 1/2).

  In the present embodiment, the bottom surface shape of the second convex portion 12 is arranged in the same direction as the bottom surface shape of the first convex portion 11. Therefore, each vertex constituting the bottom shape of the second convex portion 12 is located at a substantially middle point of each side constituting the flat portion 13 where the second convex portion 12 is disposed.

  FIG. 4 is an enlarged plan view of the edge portion 14 of the first panel P1 on which the second convex portion 12 is disposed. The flat portion 13 of the edge portion 14 is divided into three flat portions 13a, 13b, and 13c by arranging the second convex portion 12. As is apparent from the figure, the flat portion 13a is adjacent to the first convex portions 11a and 11b and the second convex portion 12a. Therefore, since the load applied to the flat portion 13a is distributed and transmitted to the first convex portions 11a and 11b and the second convex portion 12a, the local strength of the flat portion 13a does not decrease. On the other hand, the flat portion 13b (13c) has two sides adjacent to the first convex portion 11a (first convex portion 11b) and the second convex portion 12a. The two convex portions 12 are not adjacent to each other. For this reason, local strength reduction occurs on the one side. However, when viewed in the entire flat portion 13 of the edge portion 14, the local strength reduction can be suppressed to be smaller than that in the conventional case.

  FIG. 5 is a side view of the first panel P1. As shown in the figure, the heights of the first convex portion 11 and the second convex portion 12 in the present embodiment are the same. In a panel in which a plurality of convex portions are two-dimensionally arranged, the strength depends on the height of the convex portions. Therefore, in the 1st panel P1 of this embodiment, the height of the 1st convex part 11 and the 2nd convex part 12 is made the same, and the intensity | strength is aimed at. In the present embodiment, the three-dimensional shape of the first convex portion 11 and the second convex portion 12 is a triangular pyramid.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the bottom area of the second protrusion 12 is set smaller than the bottom area of the first protrusion 11. For this reason, if the first panel P1 is made of steel or the like, it is difficult to form the height of the second convex portion 12 to the same level as the height of the first convex portion 11 because of its drawability. On the other hand, if the 1st panel P1 is comprised with resin like this embodiment, the height of the 2nd convex part 12 can be easily formed to the same extent as the height of the 1st convex part 11. FIG.

  On the other hand, the 2nd panel P2 is provided with the plane part 21 and the two holding | grip parts 22 as shown in FIG. In this embodiment, the 1st panel P1 and the 2nd panel P2 are the front-end | tip part 15 of the 1st convex part 11 arrange | positioned at the 1st panel P1, the front-end | tip part 16 of the 2nd convex part 12, and the plane of a 2nd panel. Oppositely arranged so that the part 21 contacts. At that time, the grip portion 22 of the second panel P2 grips the two opposing edge portions 14 of the first panel P1 from the front and back sides of the first panel P1. Thereby, since the 1st panel P1 and the 2nd panel P2 can be assembled | attached, welding etc. become unnecessary and manufacture becomes cheap. In addition, the strength of the edge portion 14 of the first panel P1 gripped by the grip portion 22 can be improved.

  In the present embodiment, since the gripping portion 22 is configured to grip two opposing edge portions 14 of the first panel P1, when assembling the first panel P1 and the second panel P2, As shown in FIG. 2, the first panel P1 may be inserted so as to slide with the second panel P2 from the edge of the second panel P2 where the gripping portion 22 is not formed. be able to. Further, in order to more firmly assemble the first panel P1 and the second panel P2, the front end portion 15 of the first convex portion 11 and the front end portion 16 of the second convex portion 12 and the plane of the second panel of the first panel P1. The part 21 may be bonded to the part 21 with an adhesive, or may be heat-sealed.
