Description

  The present invention relates to a locking tool inserted into an attachment hole and fixed to the attachment hole.

  For example, an attachment hole is formed in a vehicle body panel or the like of an automobile, and a trim board or the like is attached to the vehicle body panel or the like via a locking tool that is inserted into the attachment hole and fixed. In addition, a locking tool (so-called hole plug) may be attached to close the attachment hole. Furthermore, depending on the application location, it may be required to seal the mounting hole with a locking tool.

  Examples of the locking tool include an umbrella-shaped flange portion that contacts the front side of the mounting hole, and a locking leg that extends from the back surface of the umbrella-shaped flange portion and engages the back side of the mounting hole. Stops are known. This locking tool is attached to the mounting hole by appropriately deforming the umbrella-shaped flange portion according to the plate thickness of the mounted member in which the mounting hole is formed, the dimensional error of the locking leg, etc. The flange portion is in close contact with the front peripheral edge of the mounting hole to seal the mounting hole.

  Moreover, the said locking tool is generally injection-molded using the some metal mold | die divided | segmented. For example, after closing a plurality of molds using a mold that opens and closes in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the locking legs that constitute the locking tool, the molten resin is injected into the mold cavity, and then The plurality of molds are opened, and the molded product is extracted.

  However, in the case of having the umbrella-shaped flange portion as described above, it has a dent on the back side, and this portion becomes a so-called undercut portion that cannot be removed by normal parting, so a plurality of molds are opened. In some cases, so-called unreasonable removal is performed by pulling out the mold while deforming the umbrella-shaped flange portion.

  As described above, for forming a locking tool having an umbrella-shaped flange portion, for example, in Patent Document 1 below, a head, parallel flanges provided at the upper and lower ends of the head, and one lower surface of the flange Consists of a more extended dish-shaped skirt (corresponding to an umbrella-shaped flange) and a leg extending from the center of the dish-shaped skirt, so that no parting line is generated at least half the tip of the leg. Trim fasteners molded with molds are described.

  The rest of the legs, the dish-shaped skirt, the parallel flange, and the head are formed by a pair of molds divided into two parts. Such an undercut portion is formed by forcible punching.

  By the way, in a plurality of molds forming the above-described locking tool, the abutting surfaces that are in contact with each other, i.e., the corners of the surface on which the parting line is formed, are usually squared and have an edge for burr suppression. Standing.

  Therefore, like the trim and fastener described in Patent Document 1, when the pair of molds are opened and moved so as to form the undercut portion of the dish-shaped skirt by forcibly removing the corners of the mold, Since it moves while contacting the back side of the dish-shaped flange, the back side of the dish-shaped flange is easily scratched. Thus, when there is an abrasion on the back surface side of the dish-shaped flange that contacts the front side edge of the mounting hole, the sealing performance between the dish-shaped flange and the front side of the mounting hole may be reduced.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a locking tool for an attachment hole that is less likely to be scratched on the back side of the umbrella-shaped flange portion and suppresses a decrease in sealing performance with the attachment hole. .

  In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a locking tool for a mounting hole according to the present invention includes an umbrella-shaped flange portion that comes into contact with the front side periphery of the mounting hole, and extends from the back surface of the umbrella-shaped flange portion, and the mounting hole. And at least the umbrella-shaped flange portion is divided and moved toward the outer diameter direction of the umbrella-shaped flange portion. The undercut portion of the umbrella-shaped flange portion is formed by forcibly removing the plurality of molds, and the back side of the umbrella-shaped flange portion and the locking leg And a rib projecting in a direction along the parting line is formed at a position where the parting line of the plurality of molds intersects the parting line. Have a tapered shape And features.

  In the fixture for the mounting hole according to the present invention, it is preferable that the rib has a shape in which the outer periphery is surrounded by a concave curved surface.

  In the locking device for the mounting hole according to the present invention, the rib extends outside the umbrella-shaped flange portion up to a position that does not reach the outer peripheral edge portion of the umbrella-shaped flange portion that abuts on the front-side peripheral edge of the mounting hole. It is preferable to extend in the radial direction.

  In the locking tool to the mounting hole according to the present invention, the rib includes a first rib projecting in a direction orthogonal to the mold splitting direction of the plurality of molds, and a mold splitting direction of the plurality of molds. It is preferable that it is comprised from the 2nd rib which protrudes.

  According to the present invention, the rib formed on the periphery of the joint portion between the rear surface side of the umbrella-shaped flange portion and the locking leg and intersecting the parting lines of the plurality of molds is directed toward the extending direction. Since it has a tapered shape, the corners of the rib forming part provided on the parting line of multiple dies can be made into a gentle shape that is not an angular shape, and as a result, after clip molding When the plurality of molds move in a divided manner, the back side of the umbrella-shaped flange portion can be less likely to be scratched by the rib forming portion, and the sealing performance of the umbrella-shaped flange portion that comes into contact with the front peripheral edge of the mounting hole You can get enough.

Further, the crushing of the first ribs 51, 51 can reduce the influence on the locking force of the locking pieces 45, 45 with respect to the rear peripheral edge of the mounting hole 3, and the locking tool 10 can be firmly attached to the mounting hole 3. Can be engaged.

  Further, since the first ribs 51, 51 crushed when the locking leg 40 is inserted into the mounting hole 3 are arranged on the inner periphery of the mounting hole 3, the locking leg 40 in the mounting hole 3 is arranged. Can be suppressed.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first ribs 51, 51 extend in the outer diameter direction of the umbrella-shaped flange portion 30 up to a location that does not reach the outer peripheral edge portion that contacts the front-side periphery of the mounting hole 3 of the umbrella-shaped flange portion 30. Since it extends toward the front side, the sealing performance of the umbrella-shaped flange portion 30 with respect to the front peripheral edge of the mounting hole 3 can be made unaffected, and the outer peripheral edge portion of the umbrella-shaped flange portion 30 can be made flexible so that the attached member It is possible to effectively absorb the plate thickness variation of 1, the dimensional variation of the locking leg 40, and the like.

  Further, in this embodiment, the ribs are a first rib 51 projecting in a direction D2 orthogonal to the mold splitting direction D1 of the molds 60A and 60B, and a second rib projecting in the mold splitting direction D1 of the molds 60A and 60B. Since the ribs 52A and 52B are provided and a plurality of ribs are provided in directions orthogonal to each other, when a force in the twisting direction acts on the locking tool 10 fixed to the mounting hole 3, The first rib 51 and the second ribs 52 </ b> A and 52 </ b> B can sufficiently resist the force in the twisting direction, and the locking state of the locking tool 10 with respect to the mounting hole 3 can be maintained.

  It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modified embodiments are possible within the scope of the present invention, and such an embodiment is also included in the scope of the present invention. .
