Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a seat back frame for a vehicle,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a seat back frame for a vehicle and a method of manufacturing the same, and more particularly, to a seat back frame for a vehicle having a sandwich structure in which a reinforcing portion of a steel material is interposed.

Generally, a seat back of a car is connected to a seat cushion supporting a passenger's hips to support a passenger's back, thereby providing a comfortable and comfortable boarding environment.

Recently, as interest in automobile fuel consumption and environmental pollution has been raised, researches are underway to reduce the weight of automobiles in this regard. However, the reason why the weight of the seat is increasing day by day is that it is actively coping with the laws and regulations strengthened with the comfort of the customers and the demand for the convenience, which is a big obstacle to the lightening of the automobile.

Recently, the development of a plastic seat back frame has been continuing. For the reinforcement of strength in sheet back frames and general plastics using glass mat thermoplastics (GMT) or carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRT), which is an impact reinforcing synthetic resin, Steel reinforcement is being developed in a way that it is assembled by insert injection or additional parts (screw, nut, riveting, etc.).

However, when a composite material is applied, it is more lightweight than a conventional seat back frame made of steel, but it has a disadvantage in that the material cost is increased and the cost competitiveness is lowered.

In addition, when the method of insert injection of steel reinforcement is applied, the resin does not flow uniformly to the insert injection part, so that the moldability is lowered and the productivity is lowered. In addition, when the steel reinforcement is assembled by using additional parts, the thickness of the plastic for reinforcement of the rigidity of the plastic part of the assembly part becomes excessively thick, which lowers the formability and increases the number of parts.

[0006]

The present invention relates to a seat back frame for a vehicle that can reinforce the rigidity of a seat back frame by improving the structure and method of rigidly bonding a reinforcement portion of a steel material to a main portion of a plastic material, And a manufacturing method thereof.

A vehicle seat back frame according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a main body made of a plastic material, the main body being made of a back sheet and having a first rib protruded at a portion where rigidity is required to be reinforced; And a plurality of second ribs protruded to be in contact with the first ribs of the main portion and spaced apart from each other in a region facing the main portion, Wow; And a reinforcing portion which is interposed between the main portion and the sub portion and in which a plurality of holes through which the second rib of the sub portion passes are formed.

Wherein the second rib is divided into a support region extending in the sub-portion and disposed in the hole, and a junction region extending from the support region and exposed to the outside of the hole, wherein the junction region is in contact with the first rib of the main portion And is joined by friction.

And the cross-sectional area of the junction region in the second rib is formed larger than the cross-sectional area of the support region.

The sum of the volumes of the junction regions is preferably larger than the volume of the surface of the first ribs to cover the half thickness of the sub-section.

The reinforcing portion is a steel material.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of manufacturing a seat back frame for a vehicle, the method comprising: preparing a main portion in a back sheet form using a plastic material; Preparing a sub-part so as to have a plurality of second ribs protruded to be in contact with the main part, the sub-part being made of a plastic material so as to have a shape corresponding to a part where rigidity reinforcement of the main part is required; Preparing a reinforcing portion which is interposed between the main portion and the sub portion and in which a plurality of holes through which the second rib of the sub portion passes are prepared; Coupling the reinforcing portion to the sub-portion such that the hole formed in the reinforcing portion passes through the second rib of the sub-portion; The sub-part is brought into close contact with the main part such that the second rib penetrating through the reinforcing part is in close contact with the main part, and at least any one of the main part and the sub part is vibrated to cause friction between the second rib and the main part, And the contact surfaces of the main part and the main part are melted and joined to each other.

The reinforcing portion may be made of a steel material in the step of preparing the reinforcing portion.

And the main portion and the sub portion are joined by vibration by ultrasonic welding at the joining step.

2 is a conceptual view showing a seat back frame for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention,
3A to 3D are conceptual views showing a method of manufacturing a seat back frame for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, It is provided to let you know. Wherein like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout.

FIG. 1 is a view illustrating a seat back frame for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a conceptual view illustrating a seat back frame for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a seat back frame for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a main portion 10 made of a plastic material and made of a back sheet; A sub-portion 20 made of plastic and formed in a shape corresponding to a portion of the main portion 10 where reinforcement is required; And a reinforcing portion 30 made of a steel material interposed between the main portion 10 and the sub portion 20.

The main portion 10 is an element constituting a frame of the back sheet, and the shape thereof may be variously modified and implemented according to the type of the back sheet. However, the first ribs 11 are formed so as to protrude at the portions where rigidity reinforcement is required.

At this time, the shape of the first rib 11 is not limited to a specific shape but may be modified into various shapes. However, it is preferable to have an area enough to face the second rib 21 for smooth rubbing with the second rib 21 of the sub-part 20 to be described later.

The sub portion 20 is an element for rigidly joining the reinforcing portion 30 to the main portion 10 and is formed in a shape corresponding to a portion where the main portion 10 having such shape is required to be rigidly reinforced. Of course, the shape of the sub-part 20 is not limited to a specific shape but may be modified into various shapes.

At this time, the second rib 21 is formed in the sub-part 20 to be in contact with the first rib 11 formed in the main part 10 and fused by vibration

The second ribs 21 are spaced apart from each other in a region facing the main portion 10, and a plurality of the second ribs 21 protrude from the main portion 10.

Therefore, a seating groove 22 is formed between the second ribs 21, and it is preferable that the seating groove 22 formed in this way corresponds to the shape of the reinforcing portion 30.

The reinforcing portion 30 is an element that is interposed between the main portion 10 and the sub portion 20 to reinforce the rigidity of the seat back frame and may have various shapes depending on the shapes of the main portion 10 and the sub portion 20. [ And can be implemented by modification. The reinforcing portion 30 is formed with a plurality of holes 31 through which the second ribs 21 of the sub-portion 20 pass.

At this time, the reinforcing portion 30 is preferably made of a steel material as described above to reinforce a desired level of rigidity.

Next, the relationship between the second rib 21 formed in the sub-portion 20 and the hole 31 formed in the reinforcing portion 30 will be described in detail.

The second rib 21 has a substantially cylindrical shape and includes a support region 21a extending from the sub-portion 20 in each region and disposed inside the hole 31 and a support region 21b extending from the support region 21a And a joint region 21b exposed to the outside of the hole 31. [ Thus, the bonding region 21b is bonded by friction with the first rib 11 of the main portion 10. [

It is preferable that the support region 21a of the second rib 21 has a cross section corresponding to the end face of the hole 31 formed in the reinforcing portion 30. [

When the second rib 21 is melted and joined by friction with the first rib 11, the bonding region 21b of the second rib 21 is melted. At this time, Sectional area of the joining region 21b is formed larger than the cross-sectional area of the support region 21a so that the joining region 21b can be joined to the main portion 10. [

More preferably, the sum of the volumes of the bonding regions 21b is larger than the volume of the surface of the first rib 11 covering half the thickness of the sub-portion 20. This is because the molten bonding region 21b is spread on the surface of the first rib 11 to cover the surface of the first rib 11 without voids and to form the molten bonding portion 23 having a predetermined thickness, 10 and the sub-part 20 are firmly fused. When the sum of the volume of the bonding region 21b is less than the indicated amount, a sufficient space can be formed between the main portion 10 and the sub portion 20 because the thickness of the fused bonding portion 23 is not sufficiently secured, (10) and the sub-part (20) may not be firmly fused together.

Next, a method of manufacturing a seat back frame for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

3A to 3D are conceptual views showing a method of manufacturing a seat back frame for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, the main portion 10, the sub portion 20, and the reinforcing portion 30 are prepared as shown in FIG. 3A.

Here, the main portion 10 and the reinforcing portion 30 are made of a plastic material to produce a desired shape by an injection method. Further, the reinforcing portion 30 uses a steel material to produce a desired shape by a casting method.

When the preparation of the main part 10, the sub part 20 and the reinforcing part 30 is completed, the main part 10 and the sub part 20 are arranged to face each other with the reinforcing part 30 interposed therebetween.

3B, the reinforcing portion 30 is coupled to the sub-portion 20 such that the hole 31 formed in the reinforcing portion 30 passes through the second rib 21 of the sub-portion 20. As shown in FIG. At this time, as the reinforcing portion 30 is seated in the seating groove 22 of the second rib 21, the support region 21a of the second rib 21 is disposed in the hole 31 of the reinforcing portion 30, The bonding region 21b of the second rib 21 passes through the hole 31 and is exposed to the outside of the reinforcing portion 30. [

In this state, the sub-portion 20 is brought into close contact with the main portion 10 so that the joint region 21b of the second rib 21 penetrating through the reinforcement portion 30 is in close contact with the main portion 10 as shown in FIG. 3C .

At least one of the main portion 10 and the sub portion 20 is vibrated so that the second rib 21 and the first ribs 11 of the main portion 10 are fused to each other by friction, 20 and the main portion 10 are melted and bonded to each other.

At this time, the main part 10 and / or the sub part 20 are vibrated using an ultrasonic vibrator. The ultrasonic vibrator is installed in the main part 10 and / or the sub part 20 and then the main part 10 and / or the sub part 20 provided with the ultrasonic vibrator are vibrated by operating the ultrasonic vibrator, The first rib 11 and the second rib 21 are bonded to each other by the heat generated as the bonding surfaces of the first rib 11 and the bonding region 21b of the second rib 21 rub against each other.

When the first ribs 11 and the second ribs 21 are completely joined together, the fused joints 23 are formed as shown in FIG. 3D and the fused joints 23 are formed between the first ribs 11 and the second ribs 21, That is, the main portion 10 and the sub portion 20 are integrally formed with the reinforcing portion 30 interposed therebetween.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the accompanying drawings and the preferred embodiments described above, the present invention is not limited thereto but is limited by the following claims. Accordingly, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications and changes may be made thereto without departing from the spirit of the following claims.
