【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、加熱発泡する発泡体にて車体筒状空洞部を閉塞させる発泡充填部材を充填する車体筒状空洞部の構造に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、この種の発泡充填部材を充填する車体筒状空洞部の構造は、車体筒状空洞部に形成した車体側係合穴に対する挿入操作に対して撓み動作して同車体側係合穴に係合する係合ピンにて支持されたり、ネジ止め固定されたりしている。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上述した従来の発泡充填部材を充填する車体筒状空洞部の構造においては、次のような課題があった。いわゆる焼き付け塗装時の温度上昇を利用して発泡体を発泡させるので、比較的高温下にさらされることになるが、挿入操作によって係合する係合ピンで固定されているだけであるので、高温下で振動が加えられることによって外れやすく、所望の効果を期待できないことがあるという課題があった。
【0004】
また、ネジ止め固定であれば容易には外れないものの取付作業は極めて煩雑となる。本発明は、上記課題にかんがみてなされたもので、取付作業が繁雑となることなく振動で外れてしまうことのない発泡充填部材を充填する車体筒状空洞部の構造の提供を目的とする。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するため、請求項1にかかる発明は、加熱発泡する発泡充填部材を充填する車体筒状空洞部の構造であって、車体筒状空洞部の構造は、車体側係合穴に対して当該係合片の挿入操作と係合操作とを行うことによって係合可能であって引き抜き操作に対して安定状態を維持できる係合片と、係合片を備えたホルダ部と、ホルダ部に保持されて加熱によって発泡して体積が増すとともに、その後の冷却によって固化し、車体筒状空洞部を閉塞する発泡体と、で構成する発泡充填部材を充填する車体筒状空洞部の構造であって、ホルダ部は、発泡体に当接する壁状片を備えるとともに、壁状片は、ホルダ部を車体側係合穴に係合固定した時点では、車体筒状空洞部を閉塞しない方向に配向され、折れ曲がり時に車体筒状空洞部を閉塞する方向に配向されることを特徴とする発泡充填部材を充填する車体筒状空洞部の構造としてある。
【0006】
上記のように構成した請求項1にかかる発明においては、ホルダ部の係合片を車体側係合穴に対して挿入操作してから係合操作を行うというように単なる挿入操作だけではなく、別の係合操作を行うことによって係合している。このため、引き抜き操作に対して同係合片は安定状態を維持し、外れてしまうことはない。一方、同ホルダ部に保持された発泡体は車体筒状空洞部内にて加熱されることによって発泡するとともにその後の冷却によって固化するが、発泡時に体積が増すことによって上記車体筒状空洞部を閉塞させる。
【0007】
すなわち、挿入操作だけで係合固定するものであれば可撓片などによって引き抜き操作に抗しているだけであるので外れやすいが、挿入操作とは独立した係合操作が行われることにより、可撓片だけで直に引き抜き操作に抗する必要がなくなり、外れにくくなる。
【0008】
上記のように構成した請求項1にかかる発明においては、上記ホルダ部を上記車体側係合穴に係合固定した時点では上記壁状片が上記車体筒状空洞部を閉塞しない方向に配向されており、折れ曲がるとこの車体筒状空洞部を閉塞する方向に配向される。壁状片自体が車体筒状空洞部を閉塞すると発泡体が垂れにくくなり、実質的に小容量で車体筒状空洞部を閉塞する。
【0009】
上記のように構成した請求項1にかかる発明においては、車体筒状空洞部に沿って上下蓋部が広がるが、広がり方向を任意とすることも可能である。そのような一例として、請求項2にかかる発明は、上記ホルダ部は、第一・第二ケースとし、第一・第二ケースの開口同志を、対面させて互いにスライド可能に構成した伸縮箱部とし、発泡体を伸縮箱部内に収容支持することを特徴とする発泡充填部材を充填する車体筒状空洞部の構造としてある。
【0010】
上記のように構成した請求項2にかかる発明においては、第一・第二ケースの開口同志を対面させて互いにスライド可能に装着させた伸縮箱部が形成されており、この中に収容支持された発泡体が発泡して大型化するときに伸縮箱部自体を引き延ばすことになる。
【0011】
むろん、このような伸縮箱部は第一・第二ケースだけで構成される必要はなく、請求項3にかかる発明は、上記請求項2に記載の発泡充填部材を充填する車体筒状空洞部の構造において、上記伸縮箱部は、第一・第二ケースを連結する連結部を有することを特徴とする発泡充填部材を充填する車体筒状空洞部の構造としてある。上記のように構成した請求項3にかかる発明においては、中間に有する連結部により多段に形成でき、伸縮箱部の伸縮長さを増やすことができる。
【0012】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように本発明は、係合固定ではあるものの引き抜き操作に対して十分に抗することができ、作業を繁雑にすることなく、発泡工程までに外れてしまったりしないようにすることが可能な発泡充填部材を充填する車体筒状空洞部の構造を提供することができる。また、請求項1にかかる発明によれば、発泡体が垂れ下がらないようにして実質的な充填容量を少なくすることができる。
【0013】
さらに、請求項2にかかる発明によれば、伸縮箱部を利用するので外部に漏れず、発泡材の大型化を有効に利用することができる。
【0014】
さらに、請求項3にかかる発明によれば、連結部を利用して伸縮箱部の伸縮率を適度に調整可能となる。
【0015】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、図面にもとづいて本発明の実施形態を説明する。
<第一の実施の形態>本発明の発泡充填部材を充填する車体筒状空洞部の構造は、車体のピラーをはじめとする筒状空洞部内を閉塞するべく、加熱によって発泡する発泡体と、この発泡体を保持するホルダ部とから構成される。図1は、本発明の第一の実施形態にかかる発泡充填部材のうちホルダ部を正面図により示しており、図2は同ホルダ部を側面図により示している。
【0016】
同図において、ナイロンなどポリアミド系合成樹脂により成形されるホルダ部11は、ほぼ正方形をなす一対の挟持板11a,11bを発泡体12の厚みと略一致する程度の間隔を隔てて対峙すべく両者を連結部11cにて連結するとともに、一方の挟持板11aにおける他方の挟持板11bとの反対側の面には車体に係合固定するための係合片11dを備えた構成としてある。ここにおいて、連結部11cは挟持板11a,11bの中央部分で連結するように柱状に形成してあるとともに、図3に示すように挟持板11bにおける内側面の対角線上であって端部寄りの位置には小突起11b1を合計四ヶ所に形成してある。
【0017】
一方、発泡体12は挟持板11a,11bの間に無理入れ可能な程度の厚みであって概略正方形に形成されている。そして、一つのホルダ部11に対して四枚を装着することで一組となることを前提としており、上記連結部11cと干渉しないように少なくとも一つの角部を切り欠いてある。
【0018】
すなわち、図3に示すように両挟持板11a,11bの間に対して対角線方向外側の四方から発泡体12を押し込んでいくと、中央の連結部11cの周りに四枚の発泡体12が並び、かつ、この状態では図4に示すようにそれぞれの小突起11b1が各発泡体12に食い込んで容易に外れないようにしている。
【0019】
一方、係合片11dは概略八角柱状であるとともに、図2に示すように先端部分の周面であって互いに反対方向に位置する二面には径方向に突出する凸部11d1,11d1を形成してあり、この凸部11d1と挟持板11aとの間は概略的ながらも車体の壁材の厚みに一致するようにしてある。また、図5は車体側に形成された四角形の係合穴13に対して当該ホルダ部11を装着する作業工程を示しており、図に示すように八角柱状とした係合片11dにおけるそれぞれ反対の側に面する壁面同士の間隔は車体側に形成した係合穴13の一辺の長さに一致している。
【0020】
従って、ホルダ部11における係合片11dを上記係合穴13に対面させて挿入させるにあたり、図5に二点鎖線で示すように、ホルダ部11を係合穴13に対して45度斜めに対面させ、凸部11d1,11d1が係合穴13の角部の隙間を通るようにして押し込む。なお、上記凸部11d1はこの隙間に入り込める程度の大きさとしてある。
【0021】
係合穴13に係合片11dを押し込んだ時点では、八角柱の四面の壁面が当該係合穴13の四辺にほぼ当接しており、自由に回転することはできない。しかしながら、この状態から無理に図5に鎖線で示すように45度回転させると、係合片11d自体が持つ弾性によってわずかに撓みながら回転させることができる。また、この位置では残り四面の壁面が係合穴13の四辺にほぼ当接し、自由に戻ることはない。さらに、挟持板11aと車体部材の厚みだけ隔てて形成されている凸部11d1,11d1が同挟持板11aとの間に係合穴13の縁部を挟み込むことになるので、係合片11dが係合穴13から抜け出てしまうということもない。
【0022】
すなわち、挿入操作においては係合片11dの軸線方向へ直進移動させ、挟持板11aが車体に突き当たったところで上記軸線方向を基準として直交する面内で45度回転移動させて凸部11d1と車体部材とを係合させている。従って、挿入操作の際に凸部11d1が撓み動作して退避する構造ではなく、同凸部11d1はリジッドな構成となっているので強固な固定が可能となる。
【0023】
本実施形態においては、ホルダ部11にて発泡体12を支持するにあたり、同発泡体12の角部を挟持する構成としているが、同発泡体12の支持手法は極めて多種多様であり、上述したものに限らないことはいうまでもない。
【0024】
また、ホルダ部11の係合片11dを八角柱状としているが、係合穴13が正方形であることを前提とした一例に過ぎず、車体側の係合穴に向かって挿入操作を行った後、回転操作させることによって既に同係合穴を通過した凸部が車体部材の裏側に回り込んで挟持する構成であれば良い。従って、係合穴の形状の自由度に応じて様々な変形例が可能である。また、係合状態で容易に回転できないようにする構成についても、車体部材の側に上記凸部がはまり込みやすくする凹部などを形成することも可能である。
【0025】
<第二の実施の形態>図6は本発明の第二の実施形態にかかるホルダ部21を側面図により示している。この例では、ホルダ部21の係合片21dが車体側の係合穴23に向かって突出するとともに先端を90度屈曲することによって同係合穴23の縁部に係合可能なフック21d1を有しているとともに、同フック21d1を係合穴23に挿入してから同縁部に向けて近接させてひっかけるためにずらすように移動させたとき同係合穴23の反対側の縁部から入り込んで逆方向への戻りを防止するずれ防止突起21d2を備えている。また、係合片21dの側面から係合穴23の周縁に向かって突出して反対方向に付勢するバネ片21d3,21d3も形成されている。なお、ホルダ部21の他の構造、すなわち、挟持片21a,21bと連結部21cについては第一の実施の形態と同様であり、説明を省略する。
【0026】
上記構成からなる本実施形態においては、係合片21dのフック21d1を係合穴23内に挿入し、その先端が同係合穴23の縁部に引っかかるようにずらしていく。むろん、これらの挿入方向の操作と、ずらす操作とは互いに直交している。ずらす際に、係合片21dに形成されたもう一つのずれ防止突起21d2が車体部材の表面に突き当たり、そのままではフック21d1の先端が係合穴23の縁部には引っかからないし、引っかからない状態ではずれ防止突起21d2が係合穴23内に入れない。しかしながら、ずれ防止突起21d2が係合穴23に入るようにずらす力を大きくするとフック21d1の先端が撓むので、ずれ防止突起21d2が係合穴23に入り込むことができるようになり、これに伴って係合片21d自体を係合穴23に深く押し込めるようになるのでフック21d1の先端が係合穴23の縁部に引っかかる。
【0027】
また、この操作の間中、バネ片21d3,21d3は車体部材に突き当たって押し返すように作用しており、フック21d1が係合した状態で適度に引っ張り力を与え続け、がたつきを防止し、抜け止めを図ることになる。
【0028】
このように、係合片の最初の挿入操作の後、これと直交する方向にずらすことによって車体部材をくわえ込み、さらに、一旦くわえ込んだ後はずれ防止突起によって外れないようにしている。むろん、かかる構造自体も各種の具体的形状を採用可能であり、二つのフックを備えるようにしてもよい。
【0029】
<第三の実施の形態>図8は本発明の第三の実施形態にかかるホルダ部31を側面図により示している。この例では係合片31dを先割れの筒状に形成するとともに、各先割れ片31d1の先端外面に突出する楔形突起31d2を形成してある。この場合の係合片31dも係合穴33の内径に概略一致しており、上記楔形突起31d2があるために当該係合片31dを車体側の係合穴33に挿入するときには各先割れ片31d1は内方に撓み動作することになる。
【0030】
一方、この場合の連結部31cは係合片31dと同程度の径を有しており、両者を貫通する貫通孔31eが形成されるとともに、この内部に円柱状の嵌合ピン31fを挿入してある。ここで嵌合ピン31fは連結部31cの側から係合片31dの側に挿入されるとともに、当初、その先端が係合片31d内に至っていない仮支持位置に保持されるとともに、さらに押し込んで先端が係合片31dの内側に入り込む本支持位置へと移動可能となっている。なお、これらの両位置にて保持されるように貫通孔31eの内面には小突起31e1を形成してあるとともに嵌合ピン31fの外周面には二つの管状溝31f1を形成してある。
【0031】
このホルダ部31を使用する場合には、嵌合ピン31fを仮支持位置に保持した状態で係合片31dを係合穴33内に挿入し、図9に示すように挟持板31aが車体側部材に当接した時点で嵌合ピン31fを本支持位置へと押し込む。嵌合ピン31fが仮支持位置にあるときには楔形突起31d2が係合穴33の縁部に突き当たっても各先割れ片31d1は内方に撓み動作可能であり、同楔形突起31d2が係合穴33を通過した時点で嵌合ピン31fを押し込めばかんぬき状になる。
【0032】
すなわち、係合片31dを挿入する操作に続いて嵌合ピン31fを押し込む係合操作が行われ、この場合でもホルダ部31は容易に係合穴33から引き抜き操作できなくなる。なお、この実施形態においては、挟持板31aが実質的なフランジ片となって車体側部材を楔形突起31d2とともに挟み込むことになる。これまでの実施形態においては、発泡体の角部をホルダ部で挟み込んで支持するだけの簡単な構造を示しているが、各種の変形が可能であることはいうまでもなく、以下、その変形例について説明する。
【0033】
<第四の実施の形態>図10は本発明の第四の実施形態にかかるホルダ部41を斜視図により示しているとともに、図11はその動作原理を概略的に示している。なお、図10では係合片の部分を簡略的に破線で示しているが、上述した各種の変形例を適用すればよい。
【0034】
本ホルダ部41では、挟持板41a,41bで二枚の発泡体42を挟持して保持するが、車体側部材とは反対側となる挟持板41bに折れ曲がりやすくする溝41b1,41b1を形成してある。発泡体12は発泡時に体積が増加するため、挟持板41a,41bを押し開こうとする。この力を利用して各挟持板41a,41bの先端部分を溝41b1,41b1で折れ曲がらせることが可能である。そして、図11に示すように折れ曲がった挟持板41a,41bによって車体の筒状空洞部44内に閉じられた空間を形成させる。尚、一方の挟持板41aにおける他方の挟持板41bとの反対側の面には車体に係合固定するための係合片41dを備えた構成としてある。
【0035】
このようにすれば発泡体42が充填すべき筒状空洞部44内の容積が減少するため、発泡体42の使用量を減らしつつ閉塞させることができる。また、空室は防振効果も向上させる。すなわち、筒状空洞部44を閉塞するのみならず、その途中に独立した空室を形成することによって圧力回避するサージタンクとしての効果もあるからである。なお、挟持板41bを折れ曲がりやすくするためには、溝41b1に限らず、薄片状としたりミシン目を形成するといったことでも良い。
【0036】
<第五の実施の形態>図12は本発明の第五の実施形態にかかるホルダ部51を斜視図により示しているとともに、図13はその動作原理を概略的に示している。なお、図12でも係合片の部分を簡略的に破線で示している。この実施形態においては挟持板51a,51bにて発泡体52の下方部分を挟み込んで保持するとともにそれぞれの外側部分に溝51a1,51b1を形成して先端が開きやすくしてあり、かつ、これらの挟持板51a,51b自体が筒状空洞部54の中心より部分に保持されるようになっている。尚、一方の挟持板51aにおける他方の挟持板51bとの反対側の面には車体に係合固定するための係合片51dを備えた構成としてある。
【0037】
この例においても、発泡体52が発泡するときの圧力で、図13に示すように挟持板51a,51bの先端部分が押し広げられる。この場合、押し広げられることによって挟持板51a,51b自体でも筒状空洞部54を閉塞することになる。挟持板51aは,51bによる閉塞は隙間などを残すことになるものの、発泡体52はその上で発泡して広がるので、当該筒状空洞部54が垂直方向に配向されている場合でも下方に垂れ下がるということがない。
【0038】
<第六の実施の形態>図14は本発明の第六の実施形態にかかるホルダ部61を斜視図により示しているとともに、図15はその動作原理を概略的に示している。なお、図14でも係合片の部分を簡略的に破線で示している。
【0039】
この実施形態においては発泡体62を包み込むように挟持板61a,61bを形成してある。すなわち、係合片61dを始点として一方の挟持板61aは上へ伸びつつ発泡体62の上辺に沿って裏側に回り込み、他方の挟持板61bは下へ伸びつつ発泡体62の下辺に沿って裏側に回り込んでいる。そして、両挟持板61a,61bはともに発泡体62を回り込む部分に溝61a1,61b1を形成してある。
【0040】
このようにして発泡体62を包み込むように挟持板61a,61bを形成した場合、同発泡体12の体積が増加したときに図15に示すように両挟持板61a,61bの先端部分が押し開かれ、この押し開かれた空隙をとおして体積が増加していく。従って、発泡体62が膨らんでいく方向を一方向に誘導しやすくなり、最小限の発泡体62で筒状空洞部64内の必要箇所を充填させることが可能となる。尚、一方の挟持板61aにおける他方の挟持板61bとの反対側の面には車体に係合固定するための係合片61dを備えた構成としてある。
【0041】
<第七の実施の形態>図16は本発明に関連する第七の実施形態にかかる発泡充填部材70を斜視図により示しているとともに、図17はその動作原理を概略的に示している。車体の筒状空洞部が或る部分で直線状に形成されているとすると、二枚の板材で上下を閉塞しつつその間に発泡体を充填させれば極めて効率的に同筒状空洞部84を閉塞して充填可能である。
【0042】
本実施形態は、筒状空洞部84を閉塞可能であるとともに上下に摺動可能な上蓋部71aと下蓋部71bとを、円柱状の発泡体72で連結するように固定している。この場合、上蓋部71aと下蓋部71bの内側面には同発泡体72の端部を挿入して固定する筒状凹部71a1,71b1を形成してあるとともにその内面に係合用の小突起71a2,71b2を形成してある。
【0043】
このように一体的に形成された発泡充填部材70を通常空洞部に挿入しておくが、図17に示すように車体側部材には当該発泡充填部材70の上下方向への自由動を規制する爪75を形成しておくと任意の位置で確実に保持しておくことができる。また、加熱して発泡体72が発泡すると上蓋部71aと下蓋部71bとの間で発泡し、体積が増加して上蓋部71aと下蓋部71bとを上下に押し開いていくので当該筒状空洞部74を閉塞することができる。
【0044】
一方、この場合でも上蓋部71aや下蓋部71bに上述した係合片11d〜61dを形成しておき、このような係合片71dで車体側の係合穴73に係合固定させれば実質的に本発明の一実施形態となる。
【0045】
<第八の実施の形態>先の実施形態においては、発泡体72を円柱状にしていたが、この実施形態においては、上蓋部81aと下蓋部81bに形成する筒状凹部81a1,81b1を一回り大きく形成し、一方が他方に入り込んで空室を形成するようにしてある。このように空室を形成することにより、発泡体82は円柱状であるとか板状であるとかである必要がなくなり、いわゆるペレット状のままで利用できるようになる。一方、この場合でも上蓋部81aや下蓋部81bに係合片81dで車体側の係合穴83に係合固定させれば実質的に本発明の一実施形態となる。
【0046】
<第九の実施の形態>図20は本発明の第九の実施形態にかかる発泡充填部材90を斜視図により示しているとともに、図21はその動作原理を概略的に示している。この実施形態では、有底筒状の第一ケース91aと第二ケース91bとがそれぞれ開口部を対面させて合体せしめてあり、内部に発泡体92を収容してある。合体状態で係合片91dを介して車体部材に固定しておき、加熱すると同発泡体92の体積が増加して第二ケース91bを押し出すように作用する。
【0047】
この場合、第一ケース91aと第二ケース91bには隙間や穴を形成しておき、筒状空洞部内で第一ケース91aと第二ケース91bが膨らむ余地がなくなったらこの隙間から発泡体92が漏れ出させることにより、実質的に筒状空洞部94を閉塞させるようにしてもよい。
【0048】
このように第一ケース91aと第二ケース91bとからなる伸縮箱部によって最初に膨らむ方向を誘導させることにより、最小限の容積で必要箇所を閉塞させることができる。なお、本実施形態においては、第一ケース91aに形成した係合片91dにより、車体側の係合穴93に係合固定させている。
【0049】
<第十の実施の形態>図22は第九の実施形態の変形例を示している。この例では、伸縮箱部を構成する第一ケース101aと第二ケース101bとを連結部101cとによって連結させ、伸縮長さを大きくしている。なお、本実施形態においては、第一ケース101aに形成した係合片101dにより、車体側の係合穴103に係合固定させている。
【0050】
<第十一の実施の形態>図23は本発明の第十一の実施形態にかかるホルダ部111と発泡体112を斜視図により示しているとともに、図24はその動作原理を概略的に示している。なお、図23でも係合片の部分を簡略的に破線で示している。
【0051】
この実施形態においては、ホルダ部111が芯材のように形成され、発泡体112を円柱状としてこの芯材に差し込んで保持させる構成としてある。この例では簡易な構成ながら必要にして十分に筒状空洞部を閉塞することができる。この場合、ホルダ部111にて発泡体112をできるだけ筒状空洞部の中央付近で支持することにより、効率よく筒状空洞部を閉塞することができる。また、本実施形態においても係合片111dにより、車体側の係合穴113に係合固定させている。
【0052】
<第十二の実施の形態>図25は本発明の第十二の実施形態にかかるホルダ部121を斜視図により示しているとともに、図26はその動作原理を概略的に示している。なお、図25でも係合片の部分を簡略的に破線で示している。
【0053】
本実施形態においては、ホルダ部121をいわゆるトレイ状(トレイ)に形成してあり、このトレイの上に発泡体122を載置して支持する。そして、各種の係合片121dを利用して筒状空洞部124内にて車体側の係合穴123に係合固定させることにより、当該筒状空洞部124を閉塞するようにトレイを配向させている。トレイとしているので縁部が盛り上がっており、発泡体122が軟化した場合でも隙間から垂れ下がってしまうことを防止できる。
【0054】
<第十三の実施の形態>図27はホルダ部121とほぼ同型状のホルダ部131を使用するものの、拡大率の大きい発泡体132をできるだけ筒状空洞部134の中央に保持するものである。この例ではトレイの中央上面に芯材部131aを形成しておき、上から円柱状の発泡体132を挿入して支持している。この例でも、係合片131dを利用して筒状空洞部134内にて車体側の係合穴133に係合固定させている。
【0055】
<第十四の実施の形態>図28は同様にトレイ状のホルダ部141を使用するものの、係合片を使用するのではなく、車体部材の側から突き出る爪状部分143をくわえ込むような係合凹部141dを形成した例である。
【0056】
<第十五の実施の形態>これまでの実施の形態では、ホルダ部と発泡体とが別々に形成される例を示しているが、これらを合体させて形成することも可能である。図29〜図31は本発明の第十五の実施形態にかかる発泡充填部材150を示している。本実施形態の発泡充填部材150は樹脂と発泡剤とからなる発泡体の構成材料に加えて光硬化樹脂を練り込んで構成され、上述したトレイ状のホルダ部121に発泡体122を装填した状態と同様の形状に一体成形した後、上面を下に向けた状態で周囲から所定波長の紫外線を照射して外面を硬化させている。
【0057】
図30は発泡充填部材150を側面図により示しているが、上面を除いて所定波長の紫外線を照射することにより、外周面はほぼ硬化し、ホルダ部121に載置されていた発泡体122に該当する部分だけが硬化せずに残っている。従って、図31に示すように係合片150dにて筒状空洞部154の係合穴153に係合固定させつつ加熱すると、硬化していない部分が発泡し、第十二の実施形態の場合と同様に所定の空間を閉塞させることができる。
【0058】
<第十六の実施の形態>本実施形態においてもホルダ部と発泡体とを別々に形成するのではなく、一体的に形成する例を示している。図32〜図33は本発明の第十六の実施形態にかかる発泡充填部材160を示している。本実施形態の発泡充填部材160は混合して硬化する樹脂素材の一方を樹脂と上述した発泡体の構成材料に加えて練り込んで構成されており、所定形状に形成した後、上面に薄いビニールシート161を重ね合わせている。
【0059】
成形後、図33に示すように硬化する樹脂素材の他方の溶液中に浸漬させることにより、外面だけが硬化する。ただし、上面にはビニールシート161が貼付されているため硬化していない。
【0060】
このようにして外周面を硬化させたら、図34に示すように係合片160dにて筒状空洞部164の係合穴163に係合固定して加熱すると硬化していない部分が発泡する。この場合表面のビニールシート161は十分に薄いので熱によって軟化し、発泡を許容できる。

It is supported by an engaging pin to be engaged, or is fixed with a screw.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The structure of the vehicle body cylindrical cavity filling the conventional foam filling member described above has the following problems. Since the foam is foamed by utilizing the temperature rise during the so-called baking coating, it is exposed to a relatively high temperature, but it is only fixed by the engaging pin engaged by the insertion operation. There was a problem that the desired effect could not be expected due to the vibration being applied below.
[0004]
In addition, if it is fixed with screws, it cannot be easily detached, but the mounting work becomes extremely complicated. The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a structure of a vehicle body cylindrical hollow portion that fills a foam filling member that does not come off due to vibration without complicated installation work.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the invention according to claim 1 is a structure of a vehicle body cylindrical cavity that is filled with a foam filling member that is heated and foamed, and the structure of the vehicle body cylindrical cavity is formed in the vehicle body side engagement hole.

At the time when is fixed to the vehicle body side engagement hole, Body cylindrical cavity Is oriented in the direction that does not occlude and when bent Body cylindrical cavity The structure of the vehicle body cylindrical cavity filling the foam filling member is characterized by being oriented in a closing direction.
[0006]
In the invention according to claim 1 configured as described above, not only a simple insertion operation such as performing an engagement operation after inserting the engagement piece of the holder portion into the vehicle body side engagement hole, Engagement is performed by performing another engagement operation. For this reason, the engagement piece maintains a stable state with respect to the pulling-out operation and does not come off. On the other hand, the foam held in the holder part is foamed by being heated in the vehicle body cylindrical cavity and solidified by the subsequent cooling. Body cylindrical cavity Occlude.
[0007]
In other words, if it is engaged and fixed only by the insertion operation, it is easy to come off because it is only resisting the pulling operation with a flexible piece or the like, but it is possible by performing an engagement operation independent of the insertion operation. There is no need to resist the pull-out operation directly with the bent piece, and it is difficult to come off.
[0008]
In the invention according to claim 1 configured as described above, when the holder portion is engaged and fixed in the vehicle body side engagement hole, the wall-shaped piece is Body cylindrical cavity It is oriented in a direction that does not block the Body cylindrical cavity Oriented in the direction of closing.

[0015]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
<First Embodiment> The structure of the vehicle body cylindrical cavity filled with the foam filling member of the present invention is a foam which is foamed by heating to close the inside of the cylindrical cavity including the pillar of the vehicle body, It is comprised from the holder part holding this foam. FIG. 1 shows a holder part of the foam filling member according to the first embodiment of the present invention in a front view, and FIG. 2 shows the holder part in a side view.
[0016]
In the figure, a holder portion 11 formed of a polyamide-based synthetic resin such as nylon is configured so that a pair of sandwiching plates 11a and 11b having a substantially square shape face each other with an interval substantially equal to the thickness of the foam 12. Are connected by a connecting portion 11c, and an engaging piece 11d for engaging and fixing to the vehicle body is provided on the surface of one holding plate 11a opposite to the other holding plate 11b. Here, the connecting portion 11c is formed in a columnar shape so as to be connected at the central portion of the sandwiching plates 11a and 11b, and on the diagonal line of the inner surface of the sandwiching plate 11b as shown in FIG. Small protrusions 11b1 are formed at four positions in total.
[0017]
On the other hand, the foam 12 has a thickness that allows forcible insertion between the sandwiching plates 11a and 11b, and is formed in a substantially square shape. And it assumes that it will become one set by mounting | wearing 4 pieces with respect to the one holder part 11, At least 1 corner | angular part is notched so that it may not interfere with the said connection part 11c.
[0018]
That is, as shown in FIG. 3, when the foam 12 is pushed in from the four diagonally outer sides between the both sandwiching plates 11a and 11b, the four foams 12 are arranged around the central connecting portion 11c. And in this state, as shown in FIG. 4, each small protrusion 11b1 bites into each foam 12 so that it does not come off easily.
[0019]
On the other hand, the engaging piece 11d has a substantially octagonal prism shape, and as shown in FIG. 2, convex portions 11d1 and 11d1 projecting in the radial direction are formed on the two peripheral surfaces of the tip portion and opposite to each other. The distance between the convex portion 11d1 and the sandwiching plate 11a is approximately the same as the thickness of the wall material of the vehicle body. FIG. 5 shows an operation process for mounting the holder portion 11 to the rectangular engagement hole 13 formed on the vehicle body side, as shown in FIG. The distance between the wall surfaces facing the side is equal to the length of one side of the engagement hole 13 formed on the vehicle body side.
[0020]
Therefore, when inserting the engaging piece 11d in the holder portion 11 so as to face the engaging hole 13, the holder portion 11 is inclined 45 degrees with respect to the engaging hole 13 as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. The projections 11d1 and 11d1 are pushed so as to pass through the gaps at the corners of the engagement holes 13 so as to face each other. The convex portion 11d1 is sized so as to enter the gap.
[0021]
When the engaging piece 11 d is pushed into the engaging hole 13, the four wall surfaces of the octagonal prism are almost in contact with the four sides of the engaging hole 13 and cannot rotate freely. However, if it is forcibly rotated 45 degrees as shown by the chain line in FIG. 5 from this state, it can be rotated while being slightly bent by the elasticity of the engaging piece 11d itself. At this position, the remaining four wall surfaces substantially abut against the four sides of the engagement hole 13 and do not return freely. Furthermore, since the projections 11d1 and 11d1 formed by being separated from the sandwiching plate 11a by the thickness of the vehicle body member sandwich the edge of the engagement hole 13 between the sandwiching plate 11a, the engagement piece 11d is It does not come out of the engagement hole 13.
[0022]
That is, in the insertion operation, the engaging piece 11d is linearly moved in the axial direction, and when the clamping plate 11a hits the vehicle body, it is rotated 45 degrees in a plane orthogonal to the axial direction as a reference, and the convex portion 11d1 and the vehicle body member Are engaged. Therefore, the convex portion 11d1 is not bent and retracted during the insertion operation, but the convex portion 11d1 has a rigid configuration, so that it can be firmly fixed.
[0023]
In the present embodiment, when the foam body 12 is supported by the holder portion 11, the corners of the foam body 12 are sandwiched. However, the support methods for the foam body 12 are extremely diverse and have been described above. It goes without saying that it is not limited to things.
[0024]
Moreover, although the engagement piece 11d of the holder part 11 is made into an octagonal column shape, it is only an example on the assumption that the engagement hole 13 is square, and after performing an insertion operation toward the engagement hole on the vehicle body side The convex portion that has already passed through the engagement hole by rotating it may wrap around the rear side of the vehicle body member and be clamped. Therefore, various modifications are possible depending on the degree of freedom of the shape of the engagement hole. In addition, with respect to the configuration that prevents easy rotation in the engaged state, it is also possible to form a recess or the like on the side of the vehicle body member so that the projection easily fits in.
[0025]
<Second Embodiment> FIG. 6 is a side view showing a holder portion 21 according to a second embodiment of the present invention. In this example, the engagement piece 21d of the holder portion 21 projects toward the engagement hole 23 on the vehicle body side, and the hook 21d1 that can be engaged with the edge portion of the engagement hole 23 by bending the tip 90 degrees. And when the hook 21d1 is inserted into the engagement hole 23 and then moved so as to be hooked close to the edge, from the edge on the opposite side of the engagement hole 23. A misalignment prevention protrusion 21d2 is provided to prevent entry and return in the reverse direction. In addition, spring pieces 21d3 and 21d3 that protrude from the side surface of the engagement piece 21d toward the peripheral edge of the engagement hole 23 and are biased in the opposite direction are also formed. The other structure of the holder portion 21, that is, the sandwiching pieces 21a and 21b and the connecting portion 21c are the same as those in the first embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted.
[0026]
In the present embodiment configured as described above, the hook 21 d 1 of the engagement piece 21 d is inserted into the engagement hole 23, and the tip is shifted so as to be caught by the edge of the engagement hole 23. Of course, the operation in the insertion direction and the operation for shifting are orthogonal to each other. When shifting, another slip prevention protrusion 21d2 formed on the engagement piece 21d hits the surface of the vehicle body member, and the tip of the hook 21d1 is not caught on the edge of the engagement hole 23 without being caught. The slip prevention protrusion 21 d 2 cannot enter the engagement hole 23. However, if the displacement force is increased so that the displacement prevention projection 21d2 enters the engagement hole 23, the tip of the hook 21d1 bends, so that the displacement prevention projection 21d2 can enter the engagement hole 23. Thus, the engagement piece 21d itself can be pushed deeply into the engagement hole 23, so that the tip of the hook 21d1 is caught by the edge of the engagement hole 23.
[0027]
Further, during this operation, the spring pieces 21d3 and 21d3 act so as to abut against the vehicle body member and push them back, and continue to give a moderate tensile force with the hook 21d1 engaged, preventing rattling, I will try to prevent it from coming off.
[0028]
In this way, after the first insertion operation of the engagement piece, the vehicle body member is held by shifting it in a direction orthogonal to the engagement piece, and once it is held, it is prevented from being removed by the slip prevention protrusion. Of course, this structure itself can adopt various specific shapes, and may be provided with two hooks.
[0029]
<Third Embodiment> FIG. 8 shows a side view of a holder portion 31 according to a third embodiment of the present invention. In this example, the engagement piece 31d is formed in a cylindrical shape with a tip crack, and a wedge-shaped projection 31d2 protruding from the front end outer surface of each tip crack piece 31d1 is formed. In this case, the engagement piece 31d is also substantially coincident with the inner diameter of the engagement hole 33, and since there is the wedge-shaped projection 31d2, when the engagement piece 31d is inserted into the engagement hole 33 on the vehicle body side, 31d1 bends inwardly.
[0030]
On the other hand, the connecting portion 31c in this case has the same diameter as that of the engaging piece 31d, and a through hole 31e penetrating both is formed, and a cylindrical fitting pin 31f is inserted therein. It is. Here, the fitting pin 31f is inserted from the connecting portion 31c side to the engaging piece 31d side, and at the beginning, the tip thereof is held at the temporary support position not reaching the engaging piece 31d and further pushed. The tip can be moved to the main support position where it enters the inside of the engagement piece 31d. A small protrusion 31e1 is formed on the inner surface of the through hole 31e so as to be held at both positions, and two tubular grooves 31f1 are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the fitting pin 31f.
[0031]
When this holder portion 31 is used, the engaging piece 31d is inserted into the engaging hole 33 with the fitting pin 31f held at the temporary support position, and the clamping plate 31a is disposed on the vehicle body side as shown in FIG. At the point of contact with the member, the fitting pin 31f is pushed into the main support position. When the fitting pin 31f is in the temporary support position, even if the wedge-shaped protrusion 31d2 hits the edge of the engagement hole 33, each tip crack 31d1 can bend inwardly, and the wedge-shaped protrusion 31d2 can be operated in the engagement hole 33. If the fitting pin 31f is pushed in when it passes, it will become a pinch shape.
[0032]
That is, following the operation of inserting the engagement piece 31d, an engagement operation of pushing the fitting pin 31f is performed. Even in this case, the holder portion 31 cannot be easily pulled out from the engagement hole 33. In this embodiment, the sandwiching plate 31a becomes a substantial flange piece, and the vehicle body side member is sandwiched together with the wedge-shaped protrusion 31d2. In the embodiments so far, a simple structure is shown in which the corner portion of the foam is sandwiched and supported by the holder portion, but it goes without saying that various modifications are possible. An example will be described.
[0033]
<Fourth Embodiment> FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing a holder portion 41 according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 11 schematically shows the operation principle thereof. In addition, in FIG. 10, although the part of the engagement piece is simply shown with the broken line, what is necessary is just to apply the various modifications mentioned above.
[0034]
In the holder portion 41, the two foams 42 are sandwiched and held by the sandwiching plates 41a and 41b, but grooves 41b1 and 41b1 are formed on the sandwiching plate 41b on the side opposite to the vehicle body side member so as to be easily bent. is there. Since the volume of the foam 12 increases during foaming, the sandwiching plates 41a and 41b are pushed and opened. Using this force, it is possible to bend the tip portions of the sandwiching plates 41a and 41b at the grooves 41b1 and 41b1. Then, as shown in FIG. 11, a closed space is formed in the cylindrical hollow portion 44 of the vehicle body by the sandwiched clamping plates 41a and 41b. In addition, it is set as the structure provided with the engagement piece 41d for engaging and fixing to a vehicle body in the surface on the opposite side to the other clamping plate 41b in one clamping plate 41a.
[0035]
In this way, since the volume in the cylindrical cavity 44 to be filled with the foam 42 is reduced, the foam 42 can be closed while reducing the amount of use. Also, the vacancy improves the vibration isolation effect. That is, not only is the cylindrical cavity 44 closed, but there is also an effect as a surge tank that avoids pressure by forming an independent vacancy in the middle. In order to make the sandwiching plate 41b bend easily, it is not limited to the groove 41b1, but may be a thin piece or a perforation.
[0036]
<Fifth Embodiment> FIG. 12 is a perspective view showing a holder portion 51 according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 13 schematically shows the operation principle thereof. In FIG. 12, the engagement piece portion is simply indicated by a broken line. In this embodiment, the lower portions of the foam 52 are sandwiched and held by the sandwiching plates 51a and 51b, and grooves 51a1 and 51b1 are formed in the respective outer portions so that the tips can be easily opened. The plates 51a and 51b themselves are held by the part from the center of the cylindrical cavity 54. In addition, it is set as the structure provided with the engagement piece 51d for engaging and fixing to a vehicle body in the surface on the opposite side to the other clamping plate 51b in one clamping plate 51a.
[0037]
Also in this example, as shown in FIG. 13, the tip portions of the sandwiching plates 51a and 51b are expanded by the pressure when the foam 52 is foamed. In this case, the cylindrical hollow portion 54 is closed by the sandwiching plates 51a and 51b itself by being spread. Although the sandwiching plate 51a leaves a gap when it is closed by 51b, the foamed body 52 foams and spreads on the sandwiching plate 51a. Therefore, even when the cylindrical cavity portion 54 is oriented in the vertical direction, the sandwiching plate 51a hangs downward. There is no such thing.
[0038]
<Sixth Embodiment> FIG. 14 is a perspective view showing a holder portion 61 according to a sixth embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 15 schematically shows the operation principle thereof. In FIG. 14, the engagement piece portion is simply indicated by a broken line.
[0039]
In this embodiment, sandwiching plates 61 a and 61 b are formed so as to wrap the foam 62. That is, starting from the engagement piece 61d, one holding plate 61a extends to the back side along the upper side of the foam 62 while extending upward, and the other holding plate 61b extends to the back side along the lower side of the foam 62 while extending downward. It is going around. And both the clamping plates 61a and 61b are formed with grooves 61a1 and 61b1 at the portions around the foam 62.
[0040]
When the sandwiching plates 61a and 61b are formed so as to wrap the foam 62 in this way, when the volume of the foam 12 is increased, the tip portions of both sandwiching plates 61a and 61b are pushed open as shown in FIG. As a result, the volume increases through the pushed gap. Therefore, it becomes easy to guide the direction in which the foam 62 swells in one direction, and it is possible to fill a necessary portion in the cylindrical cavity 64 with the minimum foam 62. In addition, it is set as the structure provided with the engagement piece 61d for engaging and fixing to a vehicle body in the surface on the opposite side to the other clamping plate 61b in one clamping plate 61a.
[0041]
<Seventh Embodiment> FIG. 16 is a perspective view showing a foam filling member 70 according to a seventh embodiment related to the present invention, and FIG. 17 schematically shows the operation principle thereof. If the cylindrical hollow portion of the vehicle body is formed in a straight line at a certain portion, the cylindrical hollow portion 84 can be very efficiently obtained by closing the top and bottom with two plates and filling the foam between them. And can be filled.
[0042]
In the present embodiment, an upper lid 71 a and a lower lid 71 b that are capable of closing the cylindrical cavity 84 and slidable in the vertical direction are fixed so as to be connected by a cylindrical foam 72. In this case, cylindrical recesses 71a1 and 71b1 are formed on the inner side surfaces of the upper lid portion 71a and the lower lid portion 71b to insert and fix the end portions of the foam 72, and the small projections 71a2 for engagement are formed on the inner surfaces thereof. , 71b2 are formed.
[0043]
The integrally formed foam filling member 70 is normally inserted into the hollow portion, but as shown in FIG. 17, the vehicle body side member restricts the free movement of the foam filling member 70 in the vertical direction. If the nail | claw 75 is formed, it can hold | maintain reliably in arbitrary positions. Further, when the foam 72 is foamed by heating, the foam 72 is foamed between the upper lid portion 71a and the lower lid portion 71b, and the volume increases to push up and open the upper lid portion 71a and the lower lid portion 71b. The hollow portion 74 can be closed.
[0044]
On the other hand, even in this case, the engagement pieces 11d to 61d described above are formed in the upper lid portion 71a and the lower lid portion 71b, and the engagement pieces 71d are engaged and fixed to the engagement holes 73 on the vehicle body side. This is substantially an embodiment of the present invention.
[0045]
<Eighth Embodiment> In the previous embodiment, the foam 72 has a cylindrical shape, but in this embodiment, the cylindrical recesses 81a1 and 81b1 formed in the upper lid portion 81a and the lower lid portion 81b are provided. It is formed to be one size larger, and one enters the other to form a vacant chamber. By forming vacancies in this way, the foam 82 need not be in the form of a column or plate, and can be used in the form of a so-called pellet. On the other hand, even in this case, if the upper cover 81a and the lower cover 81b are engaged and fixed in the engagement hole 83 on the vehicle body by the engagement piece 81d, the embodiment of the present invention is substantially obtained.
[0046]
<Ninth Embodiment> FIG. 20 is a perspective view showing a foam filling member 90 according to a ninth embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 21 schematically shows the operation principle thereof. In this embodiment, a bottomed cylindrical first case 91a and a second case 91b are combined with each other with their openings facing each other, and a foam 92 is accommodated therein. In the combined state, it is fixed to the vehicle body member via the engagement piece 91d, and when heated, the volume of the foam 92 increases and acts to push out the second case 91b.
[0047]
In this case, a gap or a hole is formed in the first case 91a and the second case 91b, and when there is no room for the first case 91a and the second case 91b to swell in the cylindrical cavity, the foam 92 is released from the gap. The cylindrical cavity 94 may be substantially closed by leaking out.
[0048]
In this way, by guiding the direction in which the first case 91a and the second case 91b are first expanded by the expansion / contraction box portion, it is possible to close the necessary portion with a minimum volume. In the present embodiment, the engagement piece 91d formed in the first case 91a is engaged and fixed in the engagement hole 93 on the vehicle body side.
[0049]
<Tenth Embodiment> FIG. 22 shows a modification of the ninth embodiment. In this example, the first case 101a and the second case 101b constituting the expansion / contraction box part are connected by the connection part 101c to increase the expansion / contraction length. In the present embodiment, the engagement piece 101d formed in the first case 101a is engaged and fixed in the engagement hole 103 on the vehicle body side.
[0050]
<Eleventh Embodiment> FIG. 23 is a perspective view showing the holder 111 and the foam 112 according to the eleventh embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 24 schematically shows the operation principle thereof. ing. In FIG. 23, the engagement piece portion is simply indicated by a broken line.
[0051]
In this embodiment, the holder portion 111 is formed like a core material, and the foam 112 is inserted into the core material and held as a columnar shape. In this example, the cylindrical cavity can be sufficiently closed as required with a simple configuration. In this case, the cylindrical cavity can be efficiently closed by supporting the foam 112 as close to the center of the cylindrical cavity as possible with the holder 111. Also in this embodiment, the engagement piece 111d is engaged and fixed in the engagement hole 113 on the vehicle body side.
[0052]
<Twelfth Embodiment> FIG. 25 is a perspective view showing a holder 121 according to a twelfth embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 26 schematically shows the operation principle thereof. In FIG. 25, the engagement piece portion is simply indicated by a broken line.
[0053]
In the present embodiment, the holder portion 121 is formed in a so-called tray shape (tray), and the foam 122 is placed on and supported on the tray. Then, the tray is oriented so as to close the cylindrical cavity 124 by engaging and fixing to the engagement hole 123 on the vehicle body side in the cylindrical cavity 124 using various engagement pieces 121d. ing. Since the tray is used, the edge is raised, and even when the foam 122 is softened, it can be prevented that the foam 122 hangs down from the gap.
[0054]
<Thirteenth Embodiment> FIG. 27 uses a holder portion 131 that is substantially the same shape as the holder portion 121, but holds the foam 132 having a large expansion rate in the center of the cylindrical cavity portion 134 as much as possible. . In this example, a core part 131a is formed on the central upper surface of the tray, and a cylindrical foam 132 is inserted and supported from above. Also in this example, the engagement piece 131d is used to engage and fix in the engagement hole 133 on the vehicle body side in the cylindrical cavity 134.
[0055]
<Fourteenth Embodiment> FIG. 28 similarly uses a tray-like holder portion 141, but does not use an engaging piece, but includes a claw-like portion 143 protruding from the body member side. This is an example in which an engagement recess 141d is formed.
[0056]
<Fifteenth Embodiment> In the above embodiments, the holder part and the foam are separately formed. However, they can be formed by combining them. 29 to 31 show a foam filling member 150 according to the fifteenth embodiment of the present invention. The foam filling member 150 of the present embodiment is configured by kneading a photo-curing resin in addition to a foam constituent material composed of a resin and a foaming agent, and is loaded with the foam 122 in the tray-shaped holder portion 121 described above. Then, the outer surface is cured by irradiating ultraviolet rays having a predetermined wavelength from the surroundings with the upper surface facing downward.
[0057]
FIG. 30 shows the foam filling member 150 in a side view, but the outer peripheral surface is substantially cured by irradiating ultraviolet rays of a predetermined wavelength except for the upper surface, and the foam 122 placed on the holder part 121 is applied to the foam 122. Only the relevant part remains uncured. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 31, when the engagement piece 150d is heated while being engaged with and fixed to the engagement hole 153 of the cylindrical cavity 154, the uncured portion is foamed, which is the case of the twelfth embodiment. It is possible to close a predetermined space in the same manner as described above.
[0058]
<Sixteenth Embodiment> Also in this embodiment, an example is shown in which the holder portion and the foam are not formed separately, but are formed integrally. 32 to 33 show a foam filling member 160 according to the sixteenth embodiment of the present invention. The foam filling member 160 of the present embodiment is configured by kneading one of the resin materials to be mixed and cured in addition to the resin and the above-described foam constituent material, and after forming into a predetermined shape, a thin vinyl on the upper surface Sheets 161 are overlaid.
[0059]
After molding, as shown in FIG. 33, only the outer surface is cured by dipping in the other solution of the resin material to be cured. However, since the vinyl sheet 161 is stuck on the upper surface, it is not cured.
[0060]
When the outer peripheral surface is cured in this way, as shown in FIG. 34, when the engagement piece 160d is engaged and fixed in the engagement hole 163 of the cylindrical cavity 164 and heated, the uncured portion is foamed. In this case, since the vinyl sheet 161 on the surface is sufficiently thin, it is softened by heat and allowed to foam.
