Description

  The present invention relates to a vehicle grill installed in an automobile and a method for manufacturing the vehicle grill.

  As a vehicle grill, a grill provided with a grill main body and a separate molding member assembled to the grill main body has been conventionally proposed.

  A first conventional example of this type is shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, a front grill (radiator grill) 50 that is a vehicle grill includes a grill body 51 and a plurality of molding members 60. The grill main body 51 includes an outer frame 52 and a plurality of crosspieces 53 arranged in the outer frame 52 at intervals. Both ends of the crosspiece 53 are fixed to the outer frame 52. The front of the crosspiece 53 is set one step lower than the front of the outer frame 52.

  The molding member 60 is subjected to surface treatment such as plating or painting. The molding member 60 is disposed on the front surface of the crosspiece 53. The molding member 60 is fixed to the crosspiece 53 with screws 61.

  The molding member 60 is assembled to the grill main body 51 by inserting the molding member 60 from the front of the grill main body 51 into the crosspiece 53 toward the crosspiece 53, and the molding member 60 is in close contact with the front surface of the crosspiece 53 of the grill main body 51. Arrange in a state. And if the molding member 60 is fixed to the crosspiece 53 with the screw 61, it will be completed.

  A second conventional example (see Patent Document 1) is shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, a front grill (radiator grill) 70 that is a vehicle grill includes a grill body 71 and a plurality of molding members 80. The grill main body 71 has an outer frame 72 and a plurality of crosspieces 73 arranged in the outer frame 72 at intervals. Both ends of the crosspiece 73 are fixed to the outer frame 72, respectively. The front surface of the crosspiece 73 is set one step lower than the front surface of the outer frame. The crosspiece 73 is provided with a locked stepped portion 73a and a positioning projection 73b. The outer frame 72 has a pair of locking projections 74 protruding from the opposite position where the crosspiece 73 is fixed and on the front side of the crosspiece 73. Each locking projection 74 is provided by a notch groove 75 so as to be able to bend and deform. The outer frame 72 is provided with a pair of holes 76 on the rear surface side of the locking projection 74.

  The molding member 80 is subjected to surface treatment such as plating or painting. The molding member 80 has a U-shaped cross section, and is disposed on the front surface and a part of the side surface of the crosspiece 73. The molding member 80 has locking claw portions 81 provided at a plurality of locations and positioning notches 82 provided at the center position. The locking claw portion 81 is locked to the locked step portion 73 a of the crosspiece 73. Thereby, the molding member 80 is fixed to the crosspiece 73. The positioning protrusion 73b of the crosspiece 73 is fitted in the positioning notch 82. Thereby, the longitudinal direction of the molding member 80 is positioned at the crosspiece 73.

  As shown in FIG. 11A, the molding member 80 is assembled to the grill main body 71 by inserting the molding member 80 from the front of the grill main body 71 toward the rail portion 73 in a direction substantially parallel to the rail portion 73. . Then, the terminal portions on both sides of the molding member 80 abut against the pair of locking projections 74 of the outer frame 72. When it hits the pair of locking projections 74, the molding member 80 is pushed inward. Then, as shown in FIG. 11 (b), each locking projection 74 is bent and deformed in the direction of escaping to the outside by the pressing force from the molding member 80, and insertion of the molding member 80 is allowed.

  When the terminal portions on both sides of the molding member 80 are pushed to a position over the pair of locking projections 74, the terminal portions on both sides of the molding member 80 enter the pair of holes 76. When the terminal portions on both sides of the molding member 80 enter the pair of hole portions 76, the pair of locking projections 74 are bent and returned and deformed. As a result, as shown in FIG. 11C, the terminal portions on both sides of the molding member 80 are inserted into the pair of holes 76 of the outer frame 72 and fixed by the locking projections 74.

  Further, in the process in which the end portion of the molding member 80 is pushed to the position over the locking projection 74, the locking claw portion 81 of the molding member 80 is locked to the locked step portion 73a of the crosspiece 73 and the molding. The positioning protrusion 73 b of the crosspiece 73 enters the positioning notch 82 of the member 80. Thus, the assembly of the molding member 80 is completed.

JP-A-8-268187

  In the first conventional example, as described above, the assembling work of the molding member 60 to the grill main body 51 is simple, and no external force acts on the molding member 60 and the grill main body 51 during the assembling work. However, the molding member 60 is entirely exposed from the grill body 51 in the attached state. Therefore, when the length of the molding member 60 is longer than the length of the crosspiece 53, it cannot be attached to the crosspiece 53. If the length of the molding member 60 is shorter than the length of the crosspiece 53, a gap d1 is generated between the end portion of the molding member 60 and the inner wall surface 52a of the outer frame 52 as shown in FIG. If there is a gap d1, the appearance is bad. Therefore, strict dimensional management is required between the molding member 60 and the grill body 51.

  Further, when the molding member 60 is plated, burrs and flower blooms are likely to occur at the end of the molding member 60. In the first conventional example, since the end portion of the molding member 60 is exposed from the grill body 51, a discarded runner for preventing plating blooming is used in the molding process of the molding member 60 so that no burr or blooming occurs at the end portion. Or a finishing process for removing burrs or the like.

  On the other hand, in the second conventional example, as described above, the assembly work of the molding member 80 to the grill main body 71 is simple, but it is necessary to push the molding member 80 between the pair of locking projections 74. Therefore, the molding member 80 has an appropriate length that is longer by an appropriate amount of deflection displacement of the pair of locking projections 74 with reference to the distance between the pair of locking projections 74. If the molding member 80 is longer than the appropriate length, the outer frame 72 and the molding member 80 are damaged, or in the worst case, the molding member 80 cannot be attached to the crosspiece 73. If the outer frame 72 or the molding member 80 is damaged, it looks bad and has no product value. In addition, if the molding member 80 is shorter than the appropriate length, the amount of the molding member 80 inserted into the hole 76 in the terminal portion is insufficient, and it is easy to drop off. In the worst case, the terminal portion is inserted into the hole 76. There is also a risk of exposure to the outside. When the terminal portion of the molding member 80 is exposed to the outside, it looks bad. Accordingly, even in the second conventional example, strict dimensional management is required between the molding member 80 and the grill body 71.

  Further, as described above, since the molding member 80 is pushed between the pair of locking projections 74, the end portion of the molding member 80 contacts the locking projection 74. Therefore, in order to prevent the locking protrusions 74 from being damaged by burrs and flower blooms at the end of the molding member, a finishing process for removing the burrs and the like using a discarded runner for preventing plating flower bloom in the molding process of the molding member 80 is performed. It is necessary to do.

  Thus, strict dimensional control is required between the molding members 60 and 80 and the grill bodies 51 and 71 in both the first and second conventional examples. However, since the molding members 60 and 80 and the grill bodies 51 and 71 usually have different thermal contraction rates (thermal expansion rates), there is a problem that it is very difficult to strictly manage the dimensions. In addition, both the first conventional example and the second conventional example need to be molded so that burrs and blooms cannot be formed at the end portions of the molding members 60 and 80, and the manufacturing process is complicated.

  Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and does not require strict dimensional control between the molding member and the grill body, and further does not complicate the manufacturing process of the molding member. And it aims at providing the manufacturing method of a grill for vehicles.

  The present invention is a vehicular grill provided with a crosspiece fixing frame, a grill main body having a crosspiece fixed to both ends of the crosspiece fixing frame, and a molding member attached to the front surface of the crosspiece, A pair of holes are provided at the position of the beam fixing portion where both ends of the beam portion are fixed, and at least one of the holes is provided so as to be inserted deeper than a terminal position in the mounting state of the molding member, A vehicular grill characterized in that both ends of a molding member enter a pair of the hole portions and the molding member is attached to the front surface of the crosspiece.

  The molding member is slidable along the longitudinal direction when set on the front surface of the crosspiece, and the crosspiece and the molding member are provided with positioning means for positioning the molding member in the longitudinal direction. It is preferable.

  The crosspiece fixing frame has a substantially rectangular outer frame and an inner frame arranged in the outer frame, and the hole portions are provided in the inner frame and the outer frame, respectively, and the inner frame and the outer frame are provided. It includes a frame in which both ends of the crosspiece are fixed.

  Another aspect of the present invention has a crosspiece fixing frame and a crosspiece fixed to both ends of the crosspiece fixing frame, and a pair of holes are provided at the crosspiece fixing portion where both ends of the crosspiece are fixed. And at least one of the holes is formed with a grill body for forming a grill body that can be inserted deeper than a terminal position in a mounting state of the molding member, and a dimension longer than a distance between the pair of the holes. A molding member forming step of forming a molding member, a first molding insertion step of inserting one end portion of the molding member into the one hole of the grill body, and one end portion of the molding member as one end. A second molding insertion step of inserting the other end portion of the molding member into the other hole portion of the grill body in a state of being inserted into the hole portion; The Ingu member is a manufacturing method of the grille that includes a molding fixing step of fixing to the crosspieces.

  According to the present invention, one end portion of the molding member is inserted deeply into one hole portion of the crosspiece fixing frame, and then the other end portion of the molding member is inserted into the other hole portion of the crosspiece fixing frame. Since the molding member can be set and fixed at the mounting position, it can be basically attached if the length of the molding member is longer than the exposed length of the molding member, so strict dimensional control between the molding member and the grill body is possible. Not necessary. In addition, since the end portions on both sides of the molding member are arranged in a pair of holes on the crosspiece fixing frame and are not visible from the outside, it is not necessary to mold the end portion of the molding member so that burrs and blooming cannot occur. The manufacturing process of the member is not complicated.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  1 to 6 show an embodiment of the present invention. 1 and 2 (a) and 2 (b), a front grill (radiator grill) 1 which is a grill for a vehicle includes a grill main body 2 and three types of molding members 20 and 30 attached to the front surface of the grill main body 2. , 31 are provided.

  The grill body 2 is formed by injection molding from a synthetic resin material. The grill main body 2 includes an outer frame 3 that is a substantially rectangular crosspiece fixing frame, an inner frame 4 that is a crosspiece fixing frame disposed at the center of the outer frame 3, and a space between the outer frame 3 and the inner frame 4. Are provided with a plurality of crosspieces 5 arranged in the horizontal direction at intervals, and a plurality of reinforcing crosspieces 6 arranged in the outer frame 3 at intervals in the vertical and horizontal directions.

  Each crosspiece 5 is fixed to the outer frame 3 and the inner frame 4 at both ends. The front surface of each crosspiece 5 is set one step lower than the front surface of the outer frame 3. The crosspiece 5 is provided with two recesses 7A and 7B that are recessed inward. A long hole 8 is formed in one of the two recesses 7A, and a round hole 9 is formed in the other recess 7B. A positioning projection 10 projects from the other recess 7B in which the round hole 9 is formed. A screw hole forming protrusion 21 of the molding member 20 is inserted into each of the recesses 7A and 7B. Each of the recesses 7 </ b> A and 7 </ b> B is set to a width dimension that allows the screw hole forming protrusion 21 to move by a predetermined distance in the longitudinal direction of the crosspiece 5.

  The inner frame 4 and the outer frame 3 are provided with a pair of holes 11 and 12 at the position of the crosspiece fixing portion 40 to which the crosspiece portion 5 is fixed. One hole 11 on the inner frame 4 side is provided so as to be inserted deeper than the terminal position in the mounting state of the molding member 20. That is, in this embodiment, the inner frame 4 has the outer peripheral vertical wall 4a, the front wall 4b, and the inner peripheral vertical wall 4c, and the hole 11 is formed in the outer peripheral vertical wall 4a. This hole 11 is provided so that it can be inserted deeply by the dimension d shown in FIG. 2A by opening in the internal space S1 surrounded by the outer peripheral vertical wall 4a, the front wall 4b, and the inner peripheral vertical wall 4c. .

  Further, one hole 11 on the inner frame 4 side is formed to have a large dimension with respect to the insertion cross-sectional area of the molding member 20 by partially notching the recess 7A of the crosspiece 5. Thereby, the hole part 11 can be diagonally inserted without applying a contact force to the terminal parts 20 </ b> A and 20 </ b> B of the molding member 20.

  The other hole 12 on the outer frame 3 side is formed with a slightly larger dimension than the insertion cross-sectional area of the molding member 20.

  The three types of molding members 20, 30, and 31 are a frame-shaped molding member 20, a frame-shaped molding member 30 corresponding to the outer frame 3, and a frame-shaped molding member 31 corresponding to the inner frame 4. The various molding members 20, 30, and 31 are formed of a synthetic resin material by injection molding, and the surface thereof is plated or painted. The cross-shaped molding member 20 is disposed on the front surface of the cross-piece 5. The length dimension L1 of the molding member 20 is set to be larger than the distance dimension (exposed length dimension of the molding member 20) L2 between the pair of holes 11 and 12 of the inner frame 4 and the outer frame 3. Specifically, even when the heat shrinkage error between the grill body 2 and the molding member 20 reaches the maximum value, the length dimension L1 of the molding member 20 is the distance between the pair of holes 11 and 12 of the inner frame 4 and the outer frame 3. The dimension is set with a margin so as to be larger than the dimension (exposed length dimension of the molding member) L2. However, when one end portion 20A of the molding member 20 is inserted to the deepest position of the hole portion 11, the length at which the other end end of the molding member 20 can be inserted into the other hole portion 12 is limited. Thus, since the allowable range of the length of the molding member 20 is very large, the length management of the molding member 20 is not necessary at the time of manufacture.

  On the inner surface of the molding member 20, screw hole forming protrusions 21 are provided at two locations. A screw hole 21 a is formed in the screw hole forming protrusion 21. When the molding member 20 is set in close contact with the crosspiece 5, each screw hole forming protrusion 21 enters each recess 7 </ b> A, 7 </ b> B of the crosspiece 5 and can move within the range of the recess 7 </ b> A, 7 </ b> B. That is, the molding member 20 is slidable along the longitudinal direction when set on the front surface of the crosspiece 5.

  The position where one screw hole forming protrusion 21 contacts the positioning protrusion 10 of the crosspiece 5 is the position of the round hole 9 on the crosspiece 5 side and the screw hole 21a of the screw hole forming protrusion 21 on the molding member 20 side. It is supposed to match. That is, the positioning projection 22 of the crosspiece 5 and the screw hole forming projection 21 of the molding member 20 constitute positioning means 22 for positioning the molding member 20 in the longitudinal direction.

  The molding member 20 is inserted into the crosspiece 5 by screwing the screws 23 inserted from the long holes 8 and the round holes 9 of the recesses 7A and 7B of the crosspiece 5 into the screw holes 21a of the screw hole forming protrusion 21. It is fixed.

  Further, the molding member 20 has a terminal portion 20A on the inner frame 4 side formed in a substantially uniform width shape, and a terminal portion 20B on the outer frame 3 side formed in a tapered width shape. Therefore, the screw hole forming protrusion 21 on the inner frame 4 side is set near the tip of the terminal portion 20A. The screw hole forming protrusion 21 on the outer frame 3 side is set at a position slightly closer to the center than the tip of the terminal portion 20B.

  The frame-shaped molding members 30 and 31 are attached to the front surfaces of the outer frame 3 and the inner frame 4, respectively.

  Next, the manufacturing procedure of the front grill 1 will be described focusing on the assembly process of the molding member 20. First, the grill body 2 having the inner frame 4 and the outer frame 3 and the crosspieces 5 fixed at both ends to the inner frame 4 and the outer frame 3 is formed (grill body forming step). The grill body 2 is provided with a pair of holes 11 and 12 at locations of the inner frame 4 to which both ends of the beam 5 are fixed and the beam fixing part 40 of the outer frame 3, and at least one of the holes 11 is formed by molding. The member 20 is formed so as to be inserted deeper than the terminal position when the member 20 is attached. Further, the molding member 20 having a dimension L1 longer than the distance between the pair of holes 11 and 12 (exposed length dimension of the molding member 20) L2 is formed (molding member forming step). The molding member 20 is plated on the surface.

  Next, as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, one end portion 20A of the molding member 20 is inserted into the hole 11 on the inner frame 4 side of the grill body 2 (first molding insertion step).

  Next, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the inner surface of the molding member 20 is connected to the crosspiece 5 in a state where one end portion 20A of the molding member 20 is inserted into the hole 11 on the inner frame 4 side. The molding member 20 is slid and moved toward the hole 12 of the outer frame 3 as shown in FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (b). By this sliding movement, as shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the other end portion 20B of the molding member 20 is inserted into the hole 12 on the outer frame 3 side of the grill body 2 (second molding insertion step). ). The sliding movement of the molding member 20 is performed until the screw hole forming protrusion 21 of the molding member 20 abuts against the positioning protrusion 10 of the crosspiece 5. At this abutting position, the position of the round hole 9 of the recess 7B of the crosspiece 5 and the position of the screw hole 21a of the screw hole forming protrusion 21 coincide.

  Next, screws 23 are respectively inserted into the round holes 9 and the long holes 8 of the recesses 7 </ b> A and 7 </ b> B of the crosspiece 5 from the back side of the grill body 2. Each screw 23 is screwed into the screw hole 21a of the screw hole forming protrusion 21, and the molding member 20 is fixed to the crosspiece 5 by the fastening force of the screw 23 (molding fixing step). This completes the assembly of the molding member 20 to the grill body 2.

  As described above, the front grill 1 includes the grill body 2 having the inner frame 4 and the outer frame 3 and the crosspieces 5 fixed at both ends to the inner frame 4 and the outer frame 3, and the front surface of the crosspiece 5. A pair of holes 11 and 12 are provided at locations of the inner frame 4 and both ends of the crosspiece 5 fixed to the crosspiece fixing section 40 of the outer frame 3. 11 is provided so that it can be inserted deeper than the end position when the molding member 20 is attached. The end portions 20A and 20B on both sides of the molding member 20 enter the pair of holes 11 and 12, and the molding member 20 is connected to the crosspiece 5 Attached to the front of the. Therefore, one end portion 20A of the molding member 20 is inserted deeply into one hole portion 11 of the inner frame 4, and then the other end portion 20B of the molding member 20 is inserted into the other hole portion 12 of the outer frame 3. Since the molding member 20 can be set and fixed at the mounting position in this way, the molding member 20 can be basically attached if the length of the molding member 20 is longer than the exposed length dimension. Dimensional management is not necessary. Further, since the terminal portions 20A and 20B on both sides of the molding member 20 are arranged in the pair of holes 11 and 12 of the inner frame 4 and the outer frame 3 and are not visible from the outside, the terminal portions 20A and 20B of the molding member 20 It is not necessary to perform molding so that burrs and blooming cannot occur, and the manufacturing process of the molding member 20 is not complicated.

  In addition, since the length dimension L1 of the molding member 20 can be set sufficiently longer than the exposed length dimension L2 of the molding member 20, the range of burrs and flowering that can be formed at the end portions 20A and 20B of the molding member 20 is completely achieved. Can hide.

  Since the terminal portions 20A and 20B on both sides of the molding member 20 are disposed in the holes 11 and 12 and fixed to the inner frame 4 and the outer frame 3, the lifting of the terminal portions 20A and 20B of the molding member 20 is caused in the vicinity of the terminal portion. This can be prevented without fixing to the crosspiece 5. In particular, as in this embodiment, if the other end portion 20B of the molding member 20 has a tapered width shape, the fixing portion with the crosspiece 5 cannot be set near the end portion of the molding member 20, and the tapered width shape Although the terminal part 20B is easy to lift, such a lift can be prevented.

  The molding member 20 is slidable along the longitudinal direction in a state where it is set on the front surface of the crosspiece 5, and positioning means 22 for positioning the molding member 20 in the longitudinal direction is provided on the crosspiece 5 and the molding member 20. Is provided. Therefore, the assembly workability of the molding member 20 is improved.

  In this embodiment, both ends of the crosspiece 5 are fixed to the inner frame 4 and the outer frame 3, and holes 11 and 12 are provided in the inner frame 4 and the outer frame 3, respectively. However, the crosspiece fixing frame to which both ends of the crosspiece 5 are fixed differs depending on the structure of the grill body 2, and the pair of holes 11 and 12 may be provided in the outer frame 3, and is not limited.

  In this embodiment, the hole 11 on the inner frame 4 side is provided so as to be inserted deeper than the terminal position when the molding member 20 is attached. However, only the hole 12 on the outer frame 3 side or both the holes 11 and 12 of the inner frame 4 and the outer frame 3 may be provided so as to be inserted deeper than the terminal position when the molding member 20 is attached. good. In this embodiment, due to the structure of the outer frame 3, the hole 12 on the outer frame 3 side is also provided so as to be inserted deeper than the terminal position when the molding member 20 is attached. However, even if the end portion 20B of the molding member 20 is first inserted into the hole 12 on the outer frame 3 side, the screw hole forming projection 21 of the molding member 20 interferes with the positioning projection 10, so that the molding member 20 Cannot be assembled. In order to enable assembly, it is necessary to change the position of the positioning protrusion 10.

  In this embodiment, the crosspiece 5 to which the molding member 20 is attached is disposed along the horizontal direction, but may be in the vertical direction or in the oblique direction.

In this embodiment, the vehicle grill is the front grill (radiator grill) 1, but it goes without saying that the present invention can be applied to grills other than the front grill 1.
