Description

本発明は、車両用構造部材に関する。特に、自動車車体の構造部材としてアウタ部材とインナ部材とを備えるピラー部材に関する。   The present invention relates to a vehicle structural member. In particular, the present invention relates to a pillar member including an outer member and an inner member as structural members of an automobile body.

自動車車体の構造部材としてセンターピラー部材がある。センターピラー部材は自動車側面の中央位置に縦柱として配設される、長尺形状の構造部材である。センターピラー部材はアウタ部材とインナ部材を備え、両部材を閉じ断面形状に溶接等で接合して、その断面形状等により側面衝突時における自動車の強度部材として機能させている。   There is a center pillar member as a structural member of an automobile body. The center pillar member is a long-shaped structural member disposed as a vertical column at the center position on the side surface of the automobile. The center pillar member includes an outer member and an inner member, and both members are closed and joined to a cross-sectional shape by welding or the like, and the cross-sectional shape or the like functions as a strength member of the automobile in a side collision.

図8及び図9は従来のセンターピラー部材の断面構成を示す(下記特許文献1参照)。図8に示すセンターピラー部材118は、車両外側位置に配設されるアウタ部材128(ピラ―アウタと称される)と、車両内側位置に配設されるインナ部材130(ピラ―インナと称される)とを備える。そして、アウタ部材128は外方向(図8では上方向)に深いハット形断面形状とし、インナ部材130は内方向に浅いハット形断面形状として、両者のフランジ部128D,130Dで溶接接合138している。これにより従来の一般的な構成の場合に比べ大きな断面形状を確保して、アウタ部材128に対する衝突(側突)荷重Fに対して荷重特性の向上を図っている。   8 and 9 show a cross-sectional configuration of a conventional center pillar member (see Patent Document 1 below). The center pillar member 118 shown in FIG. 8 includes an outer member 128 (referred to as a pillar outer) disposed at a vehicle outer side position and an inner member 130 (referred to as a pillar inner) disposed at a vehicle inner position. And). The outer member 128 has a hat-shaped cross-sectional shape that is deep outward (upward in FIG. 8), and the inner member 130 has a hat-shaped cross-sectional shape that is shallow inward, and is welded 138 at both flange portions 128D and 130D. Yes. As a result, a larger cross-sectional shape is ensured than in the case of the conventional general configuration, and the load characteristics are improved with respect to the collision (side collision) load F against the outer member 128.

しかし、図8に示すアウタ部材128とインナ部材130の溶接接合138は、衝突荷重Fの作用方向と直交する方向に配設されたフランジ部128D,130Dで行われるようになっている。このため、アウタ部材128に作用する衝突荷重Fにより、フランジ部128D,130Dの溶接接合138箇所には、溶接接合138を剥離方向に破断する作用力Fが働く。溶接接合138は剥離作用には一般的に弱いため、軽度の衝突で大きな衝撃荷重Fでない場合でも、破断を生じることがある。破断するとアウタ部材128とインナ部材130により形成した上述した大きな断面形状が崩れて、衝突荷重に対する耐荷重特性を損なうことがある。   However, the welded joint 138 between the outer member 128 and the inner member 130 shown in FIG. 8 is performed by the flange portions 128D and 130D disposed in a direction orthogonal to the direction in which the collision load F acts. For this reason, due to the collision load F acting on the outer member 128, an acting force F that breaks the weld joint 138 in the peeling direction acts on the weld joint 138 locations of the flange portions 128D and 130D. Since the welded joint 138 is generally weak to the peeling action, even if it is not a large impact load F due to a slight collision, it may break. If it breaks, the above-mentioned large cross-sectional shape formed by the outer member 128 and the inner member 130 may collapse, thereby impairing the load resistance characteristics against a collision load.

図9に示すセンターピラー部材218は、アウタ部材228とインナ部材230の両者とも、外方向(図9では上方向)に向けたハット形断面形状として、両者の縦壁部位218B、230Bを、嵌め合わせて構成したものである。そして、両者の縦壁部位218B、230Bを溶接接合238して、当該溶接接合238箇所には、アウタ部材228に作用する衝突荷重Fがせん断方向の作用力として作用するようにしたものである。これにより図8に示す構成の場合の剥離方向の作用に比べ、溶接接合の破断に対して有利な構成となっている。   The center pillar member 218 shown in FIG. 9 has a hat-shaped cross-sectional shape in which both the outer member 228 and the inner member 230 face outward (upward in FIG. 9), and the vertical wall portions 218B and 230B of both are fitted. It is configured together. Then, the vertical wall portions 218B and 230B of both are welded and joined 238 so that the collision load F acting on the outer member 228 acts as an acting force in the shearing direction on the welded joint 238. Thereby, compared with the effect | action of the peeling direction in the case of the structure shown in FIG. 8, it becomes a structure advantageous with respect to the fracture | rupture of a welding joint.

しかし、上述した図8及び図9に示すセンターピラー部材118,218のいずれの構成においても、溶接接合138,238箇所が破断すると、次のような現象を生じる。つまりアウタ部材128,228に作用する衝突荷重Fによりアウタ部材128,228が拡張方向に変形して、アウタ部材128,228とインナ部材130,230とで形成する断面形状に断面崩れを生じる。これにより充分な耐衝突荷重性能を得られないことがある。   However, in any configuration of the center pillar members 118 and 218 shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 described above, the following phenomenon occurs when the weld joints 138 and 238 are broken. That is, the outer member 128, 228 is deformed in the expansion direction by the collision load F acting on the outer member 128, 228, and the cross-sectional shape formed by the outer member 128, 228 and the inner member 130, 230 is broken. As a result, sufficient impact resistance load performance may not be obtained.

なお、図9に示すセンターピラー部材218の構成によれば、インナ部材230がアウタ部材228の開口部に嵌め合されて断面形状が構成されるものであるため、その断面形状の断面積が狭くなる。このため耐荷重特性が充分得られないことがある。   According to the configuration of the center pillar member 218 shown in FIG. 9, the inner member 230 is fitted into the opening of the outer member 228 to form a cross-sectional shape, and thus the cross-sectional area of the cross-sectional shape is narrow. Become. For this reason, sufficient load bearing characteristics may not be obtained.

而して、本発明は上述した点に鑑みて創案されたものであって、本発明が解決しようとする課題は、アウタ部材の拡張変形の阻止ないしは抑制を図ることにより、断面崩れを阻止ないし抑制して、耐衝突荷重特性の向上を図ることにある。   Thus, the present invention has been devised in view of the above-described points, and the problem to be solved by the present invention is to prevent cross-sectional collapse by preventing or suppressing expansion deformation of the outer member. It is to suppress and improve the impact resistance characteristics.

上記課題を解決するため、本発明は次の手段をとる。   In order to solve the above problems, the present invention takes the following means.

本発明の第1の発明に係る車両用構造部材は、相対的に車両の外側に配設されるアウタ部材と、相対的に車両の内側に配設されるインナ部材とを備え、前記アウタ部材と前記インナ部材は対面して配設される長尺形状部材であり、前記アウタ部材は長尺方向に直交する方向の断面形状が山形状とされており、該山形状のアウタ部材の両端部位がインナ部材に対し間隔を置いた位置で接合されて閉じ断面形状を形成する。そして、前記アウタ部材の両端部位とインナ部材との接合構成は、前記山形状のアウタ部材の両端部位の拡張方向の作用を阻止ないし抑制する壁部位が、前記アウタ部材の両端部位に対向してインナ部材に形成されており、該インナ部材の壁部位における前記拡張方向の作用を阻止ないし抑制する当接面と、該当接面に面する前記アウタ部材の両端部位面とが接合されてなる車両用構造部材である。   According to a first aspect of the present invention, a vehicle structural member includes an outer member that is relatively disposed on the outer side of the vehicle, and an inner member that is relatively disposed on the inner side of the vehicle. And the inner member is a long member disposed facing each other, and the outer member has a mountain shape in a direction perpendicular to the long direction, and both end portions of the mountain shaped outer member Are joined to the inner member at a distance from each other to form a closed cross-sectional shape. And the joining structure of the both ends part of the said outer member and an inner member is the wall part which blocks or suppresses the effect | action of the expansion direction of the both ends part of the said mountain-shaped outer member facing the both ends part of the said outer member. A vehicle formed by joining an abutting surface that is formed on an inner member and prevents or suppresses the action in the expansion direction at a wall portion of the inner member and both end portion surface surfaces of the outer member facing the corresponding contacting surface Structural member.

上記第1の発明によれば、アウタ部材に衝突荷重等により、その両端部位に拡張方向の作用力が生じたとしても、インナ部材に設定された壁部位によりアウタ部材の両端部位の拡張作用が阻止ないし抑制される。これによりアウタ部材とインナ部材とにより形成される断面形状の断面崩れが防止ないし抑制され、耐衝突荷重性能の向上を図ることができる。   According to the first aspect of the present invention, even if an acting force in the expansion direction is generated at both ends of the outer member due to a collision load or the like, the expansion action of both ends of the outer member is caused by the wall portion set on the inner member. Blocked or suppressed. As a result, the collapse of the cross-sectional shape formed by the outer member and the inner member is prevented or suppressed, and the impact load resistance can be improved.

特に、上記第1の発明によれば、アウタ部材の両端部位とインナ部材との接合箇所が破断したとしても、アウタ部材の両端部位はインナ部材に設定した壁部位により拡張作用が阻止ないし抑制される。これにより接合箇所の破断後においても上記と同様に断面崩れが防止ないし抑制される。 In particular, according to the first aspect of the present invention, even if the joint portion between the both end portions of the outer member and the inner member is broken, the expansion action is prevented or suppressed by the wall portions set on the inner member at both end portions of the outer member. The As a result, the cross-sectional deformation is prevented or suppressed even after the joint portion is broken.

本発明の第2の発明に係る車両用構造部材は、上述の第1の発明であって、前記インナ部材には、前記アウタ部材の両端部位が接合される位置の間隔幅を凹ませた1個の凹部が形成されており、該1個の凹部の内側両面が前記壁部位とされて、アウタ部材の両端部位と接合されてなる車両用構造部材である。   The structural member for a vehicle according to a second aspect of the present invention is the above-described first aspect, wherein the inner member has a concave width at a position where both end portions of the outer member are joined 1 This is a structural member for a vehicle in which a plurality of concave portions are formed, and both inner side surfaces of the single concave portion are the wall portions and are joined to both end portions of the outer member.

上記第2の発明によれば、インナ部材に形成した1個の凹部の内側両面が、アウタ部材の両端部位に対する壁部位となる。これによりインナ部材とアウタ部材とが接合される当該壁部位箇所には、衝突荷重によりせん断方向の作用力が働く。このため、剥離方向の作用力が働く場合に比べ、接合箇所の破断強度が強く、インナ部材とアウタ部材により形成される断面形状の断面崩れの防止ないし抑制を効果的に図ることができる。   According to the second aspect of the invention, the inner surfaces of one recess formed in the inner member serve as wall portions with respect to both end portions of the outer member. As a result, an acting force in the shearing direction acts on the wall portion where the inner member and the outer member are joined by the collision load. For this reason, compared with the case where the acting force in the peeling direction is applied, the fracture strength at the joint portion is strong, and it is possible to effectively prevent or suppress the cross-sectional deformation of the cross-sectional shape formed by the inner member and the outer member.

また、上記第2の発明によれば、インナ部材に形成される1個の凹部は、インナ部材とアウタ部材により形成される閉じ断面形状の断面積を従来構造に比べ大きく形成することが可能である。閉じ断面形状の断面積は大きいほど、耐衝突荷重性能の向上を図ることができるので、かかる点で有利な構成となっている。   According to the second aspect of the present invention, the single recess formed in the inner member can form a larger cross-sectional area of the closed cross-sectional shape formed by the inner member and the outer member than in the conventional structure. is there. The larger the cross-sectional area of the closed cross-sectional shape, the more the impact load performance can be improved.

The outer member 28 and the inner member 30 are disposed to face each other, and the outer member 28 is superimposed on the inner member 30 and integrally joined by welding or the like as will be described in detail later. Thereby, the reinforcement of closed cross-sectional shape is comprised. FIG. 2 shows a state in which the outer member 28 and the inner member 30 are overlapped. As shown in FIG. 2, the center pillar member 18 is formed as a long forming member.

図4は第1実施形態、図5は第2実施形態、図7は第3実施形態を示す。先ず、図4の第1実施形態について説明する。図4は衝突荷重Fが作用する前の状態を示す。アウタ部材28は車両外側に突状の山形状として形成される。山形状は、当該山形状の頂辺部位28Aと、図4で見てこの頂辺部位28Aの両端から下方に向けて(車両内側に向けて)拡張傾斜して垂下する両辺部位28Bと、この両辺部位28Bの下部に一体的に形成される両端部位28CL,28CRとからなっている。   4 shows the first embodiment, FIG. 5 shows the second embodiment, and FIG. 7 shows the third embodiment. First, the first embodiment of FIG. 4 will be described. FIG. 4 shows a state before the collision load F is applied. The outer member 28 is formed as a protruding mountain shape on the outside of the vehicle. The mountain shape includes a peak side portion 28A of the mountain shape, and both side portions 28B extending downward from both ends of the peak side portion 28A as viewed in FIG. It consists of both end portions 28CL and 28CR integrally formed at the lower part of both side portions 28B.

なお、図4において、アウタ部材28の頂辺部位28Aと両辺部位28Bを覆うように外側に配設されている破線で示す部材は、アウタ部材28を覆う意匠用の外板34であり、通常は鋼板で形成される。外板34もアウタ部材28の山形状と対応した山形状として形成されており、外板頂辺部位34Aと、外板両辺部位34Bとを有する。そして、外板両辺部位34Bの下端から、図4で見て前後両方向に外板フランジ部位34Cが配設されている。   In FIG. 4, a member indicated by a broken line disposed outside so as to cover the top side portion 28 </ b> A and both side portions 28 </ b> B of the outer member 28 is a design outer plate 34 that covers the outer member 28. Is formed of a steel plate. The outer plate 34 is also formed as a mountain shape corresponding to the mountain shape of the outer member 28, and has an outer plate top side portion 34A and an outer plate both side portion 34B. And the outer-plate flange part 34C is arrange | positioned in the front-back both directions seeing in FIG. 4 from the lower end of the outer-plate both-sides part 34B.

第1実施形態のインナ部材30は、アウタ部材28の両端部位28CL,28CRを包み込むように形成される1個の凹部形状32として形成される。1個の凹部形状32は、1つの底部位30Aと、図4で見て底部位30Aの両端から立設(車両外側方向に配設)した2片の壁部位30BL,30BRとを有する。更に、この壁部位30BL,30BRの上端から、図4で見て前後両方向に配設された2片のフランジ部位30Cを有して、形成されている。   The inner member 30 of the first embodiment is formed as one concave shape 32 formed so as to wrap the both end portions 28CL and 28CR of the outer member 28. One concave portion 32 has one bottom portion 30A and two pieces of wall portions 30BL and 30BR standing from both ends of the bottom portion 30A as viewed in FIG. Further, the wall portions 30BL and 30BR are formed to have two pieces of flange portions 30C arranged in both the front and rear directions as viewed in FIG. 4 from the upper end.

第1実施形態におけるアウタ部材28の両端部位28CL,28CRは、インナ部材30の1個の凹部形状32を形成する2片の壁部位30BL,30BRの内側位置に面して配設される構成となっている。そして、壁部位30BL,30BRと両端部位28CL,28CRは溶接36により接合されて、アウタ部材28とインナ部材30とにより閉じ断面形状を形成する。アウタ部材28とインナ部材30とも、リインフォースとして機能させることのできる強度の鋼板製とされている。なお、壁部位30BL,30BRと両端部位28CL,28CRとの溶接36による接合箇所を第1の接合箇所Y1とする。この第1の接合箇所Y1の位置は、アウタ部材28の両端部位28CL,28CRが位置する間隔を置いた位置である。また、インナ部材30に形成する凹部形状32の凹みの内側の両側部の位置でもある。   The both end portions 28CL and 28CR of the outer member 28 in the first embodiment are arranged so as to face the inner positions of the two pieces of wall portions 30BL and 30BR that form one recess shape 32 of the inner member 30. It has become. The wall portions 30BL and 30BR and the both end portions 28CL and 28CR are joined by welding 36, and the outer member 28 and the inner member 30 form a closed cross-sectional shape. Both the outer member 28 and the inner member 30 are made of a steel plate having a strength capable of functioning as reinforcement. In addition, let the joining location by the welding 36 of wall part 30BL, 30BR and both-ends part 28CL, 28CR be the 1st joining location Y1. The position of the first joining portion Y1 is a position at which the both end portions 28CL and 28CR of the outer member 28 are spaced. Further, it is also the position of both side portions inside the recess of the recess shape 32 formed in the inner member 30.

なお、インナ部材30の左右両方向に配設されたフランジ部位30Cと,外板34の外板フランジ部位34Cも、重ね合わされる配置とされており、溶接38により接合されている。この接合箇所を第2の接合箇所Y2とする。上記の第1の接合箇所Y1と第2の接合箇所Y2は、別位置となっており、共に溶接部位の板部材が2枚であるので、溶接を容易に行うことができる。なお、本実施形態における接合は、アーク溶接、またはレーザ溶接により行われる。その使い分けは、溶接箇所の接近度合いや、溶接スピードや、コスト等を考慮して適宜選定される。以後に説明する実施形態においても同じである。   It should be noted that the flange portion 30 </ b> C disposed in the left and right directions of the inner member 30 and the outer plate flange portion 34 </ b> C of the outer plate 34 are also superposed and joined by welding 38. This joining location is defined as a second joining location Y2. Said 1st junction location Y1 and 2nd junction location Y2 are another positions, and since both the plate members of a welding site | part are two sheets, welding can be performed easily. In addition, joining in this embodiment is performed by arc welding or laser welding. The proper use is appropriately selected in consideration of the approaching degree of the welding location, the welding speed, the cost, and the like. The same applies to the embodiments described later.

また、第1の接合箇所Y1におけるアウタ部材28の両端部位28CL,28CRの先端は、インナ部材30の底部位30Aの上面に当接した状態として配設されており、いわゆる底当たり状態として配設されている。これによりアウタ部材28に作用した衝突荷重Fが第1の接合箇所Y1に作用する際には、この底当たり箇所でも衝突荷重Fを受けるので、第1の接合箇所Y1の溶接36の接合強度の負荷の低減を図ることができる。   Further, the tips of both end portions 28CL and 28CR of the outer member 28 at the first joint location Y1 are disposed in contact with the upper surface of the bottom portion 30A of the inner member 30, and are disposed as a so-called bottom contact state. Has been. As a result, when the collision load F applied to the outer member 28 is applied to the first joint location Y1, the impact load F is also received at the bottom contact portion, so the joint strength of the weld 36 at the first joint location Y1 is high. The load can be reduced.

上述した第1実施形態の作用効果は、次の通りである。第1実施形態において、車両衝突時(側突時)にアウタ部材28に作用する衝突荷重Fは、第1の接合箇所Y1で受けることになる。この第1の接合箇所Y1を構成するアウタ部材28の両端部位28CL,28CRとインナ部材30の壁部位30BL,30BRとは、衝突荷重Fの作用方向と同方向の配設となっている。したがって、第1の接合箇所Y1には、せん断方向の破断力が作用する。このため、剥離方向の作用力が働く場合に比べ、接合箇所の破断強度が強く、インナ部材30とアウタ部材28により形成される断面形状の維持を、ある程度の衝突荷重の大きさまで図ることができる。   The operational effects of the first embodiment described above are as follows. In the first embodiment, the collision load F acting on the outer member 28 at the time of a vehicle collision (at the time of a side collision) is received at the first joint location Y1. Both end portions 28CL, 28CR of the outer member 28 and the wall portions 30BL, 30BR of the inner member 30 constituting the first joint location Y1 are arranged in the same direction as the direction of action of the collision load F. Therefore, a breaking force in the shearing direction acts on the first joint location Y1. For this reason, compared with the case where the acting force in the peeling direction is applied, the fracture strength at the joint is strong, and the cross-sectional shape formed by the inner member 30 and the outer member 28 can be maintained up to a certain level of collision load. .

また、第1実施形態によれば、衝突荷重Fによりアウタ部材28に拡張変形する作用力が生じる。この拡張変形の作用力はアウタ部材28の両端部位28CL,28CRに及ぶ。しかし、この作用力は、両端部位28CL,28CRが拡張しようとする方向の外側に配設されるインナ部材30の壁部位30BL,30BRで受けられる。これを図4に基づいて説明すると、アウタ部材28の左側の一端部位28CLの左方向の拡張作用力はインナ部材30の左側の壁部位30BLで受けられる。また、アウタ部材28の右側の一端部位28CRの右方向の拡張作用力はインナ部材30の右側の壁部位30BRで受けられる。これにより、仮に、第1の接合箇所Y1の溶接36が衝突荷重により破断したとしても、アウタ部材28の両端部位28CL,28CRの拡張変形が、インナ部材30の壁部位30BL,30BRにより阻止ないし抑制される。したがって、第1の接合箇所Y1の破断後においても、断面形状の断面崩れを可及的に防止ないし抑制することができて、衝突時におけるエネルギー吸収を効果的に行うことができる。このことから、第1実施形態におけるインナ部材30の壁部位30BL,30BRが、本発明で言うアウタ部材の両端部位の拡張方向の作用を阻止ないし抑制する壁部位となっている。   In addition, according to the first embodiment, an acting force that expands and deforms the outer member 28 due to the collision load F is generated. The acting force of the expansion deformation reaches both end portions 28CL and 28CR of the outer member 28. However, this acting force is received by the wall portions 30BL and 30BR of the inner member 30 disposed on the outside in the direction in which both end portions 28CL and 28CR are to expand. Referring to FIG. 4, the leftward expansion force of the left end portion 28 </ b> CL of the outer member 28 is received by the left wall portion 30 </ b> BL of the inner member 30. Further, the rightward expansion force of the right end portion 28CR of the outer member 28 is received by the right wall portion 30BR of the inner member 30. Thereby, even if the weld 36 of the first joint location Y1 is broken by a collision load, the expansion deformation of the both end portions 28CL and 28CR of the outer member 28 is prevented or suppressed by the wall portions 30BL and 30BR of the inner member 30. Is done. Therefore, even after the first joint location Y1 is broken, the cross-section of the cross-sectional shape can be prevented or suppressed as much as possible, and energy absorption at the time of collision can be effectively performed. Therefore, the wall portions 30BL and 30BR of the inner member 30 in the first embodiment are wall portions that prevent or suppress the action in the expansion direction of both end portions of the outer member as referred to in the present invention.

また、第1実施形態によれば、アウタ部材28とインナ部材30とにより形成される閉じ断面形状は、インナ部材30の1個の凹部形状32内に、アウタ部材28の両端部位28CL,28CRが嵌まり込んで形成される。このため、アウタ部材28の山形状の全面積が閉じ断面とされる。これにより、閉じ断面形状の断面積を比較的広く形成することが可能となり、耐衝突荷重特性上、有利な構成となっている。   Further, according to the first embodiment, the closed cross-sectional shape formed by the outer member 28 and the inner member 30 is such that the two end portions 28CL and 28CR of the outer member 28 are within one concave shape 32 of the inner member 30. It is formed by fitting. For this reason, the entire mountain-shaped area of the outer member 28 is closed. As a result, the cross-sectional area of the closed cross-sectional shape can be formed relatively wide, which is advantageous in terms of collision load resistance.

次に、第2実施形態について説明する。第2実施形態は図5及び図6に示される。図5は衝突荷重が作用する前の変形前の状態を示し、図6は衝突荷重が作用した後の変形後の状態を示す。なお、第2実施形態の説明においては、第1実施形態と同じ構成箇所には、同じ符号を付すことにより、説明を省略することがある。   Next, a second embodiment will be described. A second embodiment is shown in FIGS. FIG. 5 shows a state before deformation before the collision load is applied, and FIG. 6 shows a state after deformation after the collision load is applied. In the description of the second embodiment, the same components as those in the first embodiment may be denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof may be omitted.

第2実施形態は、上述の第1実施形態とはインナ部材30の構成が異なりアウタ部材28及びその外側に配設される外板34の構成は、第1実施形態と実質的に同じである。この第2実施形態では、インナ部材30の底部位30Aに、アウタ部材28の両端部位28CL,28CRの位置に2個の凹部位40が形成される。2個の凹部位40は、図5で見て、左側位置の左側凹部位40Lと右側位置の右側凹部位40Rとからなっている。   In the second embodiment, the configuration of the inner member 30 is different from that of the first embodiment described above, and the configurations of the outer member 28 and the outer plate 34 disposed outside the outer member 28 are substantially the same as those of the first embodiment. . In the second embodiment, two recessed portions 40 are formed at the positions of both end portions 28CL and 28CR of the outer member 28 in the bottom portion 30A of the inner member 30. As shown in FIG. 5, the two recessed positions 40 are composed of a left recessed position 40L at the left position and a right recessed position 40R at the right position.

左側凹部位40Lと右側凹部位40Rの凹部位40形状は、段差形状として形成されている。本実施形態の場合は、各凹部位40L,40R共、内側の壁部位40LI,40RIより外側の壁部位40LO,40ROの高さが高く形成されている。このため、図5で見て、インナ部材30の底部位30Aの位置は車両内側方向位置となる。その結果、この第2実施形態においても、内側の壁部位40LI,40RIが低い分だけ、アウタ部材28とインナ部材30とにより形成される閉じ断面形状の断面積を広くすることができる。これにより断面積効果による耐衝突荷重特性の向上を図ることができる。   The shape of the concave portion 40 of the left concave portion 40L and the right concave portion 40R is formed as a step shape. In the case of the present embodiment, the heights of the outer wall portions 40LO and 40RO are formed higher than the inner wall portions 40LI and 40RI in the respective recessed positions 40L and 40R. Therefore, as seen in FIG. 5, the position of the bottom portion 30A of the inner member 30 is the position in the vehicle inner direction. As a result, also in the second embodiment, the cross-sectional area of the closed cross-sectional shape formed by the outer member 28 and the inner member 30 can be increased by the amount of the lower inner wall portions 40LI and 40RI. Thereby, it is possible to improve the anti-collision load characteristic due to the cross-sectional area effect.

第2実施形態によれば、両凹部位40L,40Rの外側の壁部位40LO,40ROが第1実施形態における壁部位30BL,30BRと同じ機能を果たす。すなわち、衝突荷重Fが作用したときにアウタ部材28の両端部位28CL,28CRに生じる拡張作用が、外側の壁部位40LO,40ROにより阻止ないし抑制される。このことから第2実施形態の両端部位28CL,28CRが、本発明の挿し込み部位に相当し、外側の壁部位40LO,40ROが、本発明で言うアウタ部材の両端部位の拡張方向の作用を阻止ないし抑制する壁部位に相当する。   According to the second embodiment, the outer wall portions 40LO, 40RO of both concave positions 40L, 40R perform the same function as the wall portions 30BL, 30BR in the first embodiment. In other words, the expansion action that occurs at both end portions 28CL and 28CR of the outer member 28 when the collision load F acts is prevented or suppressed by the outer wall portions 40LO and 40RO. Therefore, both end portions 28CL and 28CR of the second embodiment correspond to the insertion portion of the present invention, and the outer wall portions 40LO and 40RO prevent the action of the both end portions of the outer member in the present invention in the extending direction. It corresponds to a wall part to be suppressed.

図6は衝突荷重Fが作用した場合におけるアウタ部材28とインナ部材30とにより形成される閉じ断面形状の断面崩れ状態を示す。この図から分かるように、アウタ部材28は衝突荷重Fにより車両内側方向に多少押し込まれ変形はするが、両端部位28CL,28CRの拡張変形は、効果的に阻止ないし抑制されている。   FIG. 6 shows a cross-sectional collapse state of the closed cross-sectional shape formed by the outer member 28 and the inner member 30 when the collision load F acts. As can be seen from this figure, the outer member 28 is slightly pushed inward by the collision load F to be deformed, but the expansion deformation of both end portions 28CL and 28CR is effectively prevented or suppressed.

なお、第2実施形態においては、溶接36による第1の接合箇所Y1は、各凹部位40L,40Rの外側の壁部位40LO,40ROの段差形状箇所で行われている。すなわち、インナ部材30の外側の壁部位40LO、40ROとアウタ部材28の両端部位28CL,28CRとの2枚合わせ箇所で溶接36により接合される構成となっている。これにより、3枚合わせ溶接に比べ2枚合わせ溶接は、溶接が容易であり、溶接の種類の選択枝が多くなる。これに伴い、より適切な溶接を選択することができる。   In the second embodiment, the first joining portion Y1 by the welding 36 is performed at the step-shaped portions of the wall portions 40LO and 40RO outside the recess positions 40L and 40R. In other words, the outer wall portions 40LO, 40RO of the inner member 30 and the both end portions 28CL, 28CR of the outer member 28 are joined together by welding 36 at the joining position. Thereby, compared with three-piece welding, two-piece welding is easy to weld, and the number of choices of welding types increases. Accordingly, more appropriate welding can be selected.

また、この第2実施形態においては、第1の接合箇所Y1の溶接36が破断したとしても、アウタ部材28の変形を可及的に抑制することができて、断面崩れの抑制を図ることができる。すなわち、アウタ部材28の両端部位28CL,28CRは、破断後も凹部位40L,40Rに挿し込まれた状態にあるので、凹部位40L,40Rの両側の壁部位40LOと40LI,40ROと40RIで移動が拘束される。   Moreover, in this 2nd Embodiment, even if the weld 36 of the 1st junction location Y1 fractures | ruptures, the deformation | transformation of the outer member 28 can be suppressed as much as possible, and suppression of a cross-sectional collapse can be aimed at. it can. That is, since both end portions 28CL and 28CR of the outer member 28 are still inserted into the recessed portions 40L and 40R even after breaking, the wall portions 40LO and 40LI, 40RO and 40RI on both sides of the recessed portions 40L and 40R move. Is restrained.

次に、第3実施形態について説明する。第3実施形態は図7に示される。図7は衝突荷重の作用前の状態を示す。なお、この第3実施形態の説明において、前述した第1実施形態および第2実施形態と同じ構成箇所には、同じ符号を付すことにより、説明を省略することがある。   Next, a third embodiment will be described. A third embodiment is shown in FIG. FIG. 7 shows the state before the action of the collision load. In the description of the third embodiment, the same components as those in the first embodiment and the second embodiment described above may be denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof may be omitted.

第3実施形態は、上述した第2実施形態においてインナ部材30に形成した凹部位40L,40Rを、アウタ部材28に形成して構成したものである。このため第3実施形態の凹部位50L,50Rは、アウタ部材28の両端部位28CL,28CRの先端に形成されている。そして、第3実施形態では、この凹部位50L,50Rに挿し込まれる挿し込み部位60L,60Rがインナ部材30の底部位30Aから車両外側方向に突設して形成されている。   In the third embodiment, recess positions 40L and 40R formed in the inner member 30 in the second embodiment described above are formed in the outer member 28. Therefore, the recessed positions 50L and 50R of the third embodiment are formed at the tips of both end portions 28CL and 28CR of the outer member 28. In the third embodiment, the insertion portions 60L and 60R to be inserted into the recessed portions 50L and 50R are formed so as to protrude from the bottom portion 30A of the inner member 30 toward the vehicle outer side.

第3実施形態の凹部位50L,50Rは、車両内側方向に開口する形態として配設されており、各凹部位50L,50Rは、内側の当接部位50LI,50RIと外側の当接部位50LO,50ROとからなっている。そして、各凹部位50L,50Rの内側の当接部位50LI,50RIと挿し込み部位60L,60Rとが溶接36されて、第1の接合箇所Y1としている。なお、各凹部位50L,50Rの内側の当接部位50LI,50RIと挿し込み部位60L,60Rとの溶接36(Y1)を容易とするためには、外側の当接部位50LO,50ROをなくするか、その長さを短く形成するのが良い。   The recessed positions 50L, 50R of the third embodiment are arranged in such a manner as to open toward the vehicle inner side, and the recessed positions 50L, 50R are respectively provided with an inner contact part 50LI, 50RI and an outer contact part 50LO, It consists of 50RO. Then, the contact portions 50LI and 50RI inside the concave portions 50L and 50R and the insertion portions 60L and 60R are welded 36 to form the first joint portion Y1. In order to facilitate welding 36 (Y1) between the inner contact portions 50LI and 50RI and the insertion portions 60L and 60R of the recess positions 50L and 50R, the outer contact portions 50LO and 50RO are eliminated. Or it is good to form the length short.

この第3実施形態においても、第2実施形態の場合と同様にして、衝突荷重Fの作用時における拡張変形作用を、凹部位50L,50Rと挿し込み部位60L,60Rとの嵌め合わせにより、阻止ないし抑制することができる。この作用において、第3実施形態の挿し込み部位60L,60Rが、本発明におけるアウタ部材の拡張作用の作用を阻止ないし抑制する壁部位に相当する。   Also in the third embodiment, as in the case of the second embodiment, the expansion deformation action at the time of the action of the collision load F is prevented by fitting the recess positions 50L and 50R with the insertion portions 60L and 60R. Or can be suppressed. In this action, the insertion parts 60L and 60R of the third embodiment correspond to wall parts that prevent or suppress the action of the expansion action of the outer member in the present invention.
