As disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 63-23263, a resin roof, a roof rail for bonding the resin roof, a rib formed on the bonding surface of the resin roof, and a position of the roof rail corresponding to the rib. There is known a resin roof mounting structure including a slit having a width smaller than at least the width of the engagement portion of the rib and having a claw formed on an inner surface thereof bent toward the opposite side to the resin roof.

働くことになる。In this conventional technique, a rib is inserted into a slit after an adhesive is applied to a joint surface between a roof and a roof rail. At this time, the width of the slit is set to be smaller than that of the rib, so that the claws work to bite into the rib.

性が低下してしまうという問題が指摘されている。However, in the above prior art, it is pointed out that the roof rails constituting the body frame are provided with slits, and the rigidity of the body frame itself is reduced.

I need it. As a result, there is a problem that the entire joining process becomes complicated and time-consuming, and that the use of an adhesive or the like causes a rise in manufacturing costs.

A vehicle body capable of securely joining a resin panel and a vehicle body frame with a simple process and quickly performing the entire joining operation. It is intended to provide a panel structure for use and a joining method thereof.

とが互いに固着される。In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in a vehicle body panel structure according to the present invention, a rib integrally provided on a resin panel is provided inside a rib fixing portion constituting a vehicle body frame. After being inserted into the rib, the rib is thermally deformed in the rib fixing portion, and the panel and the vehicle body frame are fixed to each other.

能になる。Accordingly, the ribs of the panel are deformed following the shape of the vehicle body frame, and the panel can be securely attached to the vehicle body frame. Moreover,
Since the rib is deformed in the rib fixing portion and closely adheres to the rib fixing portion, an adhesive or the like is not required, and the panel can be firmly and reliably attached to the vehicle body frame.

つ確実に固定することができる。In the method of joining a panel structure for a vehicle body according to the present invention, a rib of a panel is inserted into a rib fixing portion, and the rib is first pressed against the rib fixing portion. The heating medium is supplied to the inside of the rib, and the tip of the rib is thermally deformed. Next, a cooling medium is supplied to the inside of the frame main body, whereby the distal end portion of the rib is cooled and solidified in its deformed state, and the panel and the body frame are integrated. Thus, the joining process can be performed in a very short time, and the panel and the vehicle body frame can be firmly and reliably fixed.

Accordingly, welding with the insert member and molding of the undercut shape are not smoothly performed. Moreover, when the ribs are inserted into the vehicle body frame, deformation is easily caused, and partial unevenness or the like is generated on the external surface of the panel.
