Description
The present invention relates to a bumper beam for an automobile, in which two bumper beams having a predetermined cross-sectional shape are arranged face to face with respect to each other and then joined together to produce a bumper beam, Further, the joining portions for joining the two profiles are formed in a concavo-convex shape so that the joining force can be increased.
The bumper beams are mounted on the front and rear of the vehicle, respectively, to protect the driver and passengers by absorbing external impact when a collision or collision occurs. Although the bumper beam is often made of steel to protrude from the car body, a shock absorbing bumper beam capable of absorbing an external shock has become popular in recent years. These shock absorbing bumper beams are usually made of materials with superior shock absorbing and restoring properties. The following Patent Documents 1 to 3 disclose techniques relating to such a bumper and a bumper beam.

(Patent Document 3) Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2015-0143393
Claims [1] A rear bumper for a vehicle, comprising: two rod-shaped bodies of CFRTPC; One bridge of GMT interposed between the two rod-shaped bodies; Wherein the rod-shaped body and the bridge are integrally press-molded and have a shape of a rear bumper.
However, the conventional bumper beam causes the following problems.
(1) Normally, as shown in Fig. 1, a bumper beam is formed by joining two profiles (P1, P2) produced in a concavo-convex shape in the width direction so as to face each other, And is made to have spaces S1 and S2. Thus, the profiles P1 and P2 form at least one joint portion N for partitioning the shock absorbing spaces S1 and S2.
(2) This means that the two profiles P1 and P2, which make the existing bumper beam, are different, so that two profiles P1 and P2 must be produced, respectively. Therefore, since a mold or a roll forming apparatus for manufacturing each profile must be provided separately, the manufacturing facility is required to be large and a manufacturing cost is also required.
(3) Since these profiles P1 and P2 make the joint portions N flat, they may be misjudged when joining to cause defective joining. That is, the two profiles P1 and P2 are overlapped on the flat joint portion N so that the flat joint portions overlap each other, and then the two profiles P1 and P2 are joined to each other to manufacture the bumper beam. When the profiles P1 and P2 are overlapped, There is a fear of escaping, and therefore, a failure may occur at the joint portion.
(4) In addition, as shown in Fig. 1, when the external force is applied to the bumper beam due to collision or collision in the state where the bumper beam is mounted, There is a possibility that the shock absorber is not properly carried out and may put the driver or passenger at risk. That is, when the bumper beam is mounted on the vehicle, the joint portion N is vertically erected perpendicular to the traveling direction of the vehicle. Therefore, when the force generated by collision or collision is applied in the traveling direction of the vehicle, However, when the force is applied in an oblique direction to the traveling direction, the joint portion may be easily broken.
The present invention takes these points into consideration, and it is constituted such that two profiles produced in a predetermined cross-sectional shape are arranged to face each other in point symmetry and then joined to form a bumper beam. Therefore, even if only one kind of profile is manufactured, And to provide a bumper beam for automobiles that can be manufactured and manufactured at a reduced cost.
Particularly, according to the present invention, since the joint portions for forming the shock absorbing space to be deformed for shock absorption are formed in the shape of an acid, the protrusions and the grooves are formed on the actually contacting portions and are bonded to each other. It is an object of the present invention to provide a bumper beam for an automobile which is capable of obtaining a sufficient impact absorbing effect without being easily broken while a part is engaged.
In addition, the present invention provides a bumper beam for a vehicle that can be manufactured easily and quickly because a profile of a bumper beam can be manufactured in a single profile through a roll forming method. There is another purpose.
In order to achieve the above object, the automobile bumper beam according to the present invention includes a
Particularly, the profile P is characterized by being manufactured by a roll forming process. The first and second profiles P 'and P "have a first
Further, the joining
The
Finally, the automotive bumper beam is characterized in that at least some sections of the bent portions of the profiles P 'and P "are partially softened.
The bumper beam for a vehicle according to the present invention has the following effects.
(1) A bumper beam is produced by arranging two kinds of profiles having a predetermined width cross-section facing each other in a point symmetric manner and then joining them to each other. Even if only one kind of profile is produced, the bumper beam can be manufactured, There is also the possibility of reducing manufacturing costs through mass production.
(2) Since the bumper beam is manufactured using only one profile as described above, space utilization can be improved by reducing the installation space while reducing the size of the manufacturing facility.
(3) When the two profiles according to the present invention are arranged in such a manner that they face each other in a point-symmetrical manner and then are joined together to form a bumper beam, . In addition, even when an external force is applied in various directions, the portion bonded by the concavo-convex shape has a concave-convex shape, which improves the impact absorption performance without easily breaking the joint portion.
(4) As the shock absorbing performance increases, it is possible to make the thickness of the profile thin when the bumper beam capable of absorbing the impact of the same intensity is manufactured. This can increase automobile fuel economy by reducing the weight of the bumper beam while reducing manufacturing costs by weight reduction.
(5) When the bumper beam is manufactured, the portion where the impact is to be absorbed is partially softened, such as where the stress is concentrated or the impact is expected to be applied, The softened portion can be easily deformed and the shock absorption can be performed well, so that the human life can be safely protected. Further, since the bumper beam formed by the same thickness of the bumper beam is partially softened through the roll forming process, it is difficult to apply a normal roll forming product manufactured with the same thickness to a partially different stiffness and strength It is possible to cope with the performance requirement that requires the roll forming process.
(6) When the two profiles produced according to the present invention are arranged to face each other in point symmetry and then joined to form a bumper beam, the joining portions are brought into contact with each other in an engaging manner like irregularities, The efficiency can be increased. Thus, according to the present invention, since the softening process is partially performed on the bumper beam made of the profile formed to have substantially the same thickness through the roll forming process, the portion thickly molded to the portion which can be made thin due to the rigidity of the other portion The bumper beam can be manufactured so as to obtain an optimal shock absorption performance by softening treatment.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Prior to this, terms and words used in the present specification and claims should not be construed as limited to ordinary or dictionary terms, and the inventor should properly define the concept of the term to describe its invention in the best possible way The present invention should be construed in accordance with the spirit and scope of the present invention.
Therefore, the embodiments described in the present specification and the configurations shown in the drawings are merely the most preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to represent all of the technical ideas of the present invention. Thus, various equivalents And variations may be present.
The bumper beam according to the present invention is manufactured by arranging two profiles having the same configuration and having a predetermined length in a point symmetry manner facing each other. Here, the configuration of the profile will be described first, and the bumper beam using the profile will be described later.
(Configuration of profile)
The profile P according to the first embodiment of the present invention is formed such that the first and second edge portions (the first and second edge portions) 110a and 110b are formed and the first joining
Particularly, the end of the first
Hereinafter, this configuration will be described in more detail. Here, the reference symbol "P" is a profile having the same configuration as the first and second profiles P 'and P "used for manufacturing the bumper beam according to the present invention. In the drawings, the reference numerals for explaining the profile P will be described with reference to the reference numerals which are omitted from "" and "" ".
The first and

The profile according to the present invention as described above can be manufactured by various methods. However, by adopting the roll forming method, it is possible to manufacture a desired length regardless of the length of the profile, and also to mass- have.
It is preferable that the profile according to the present invention is formed as a flat plate as a whole using a steel plate or the like, and the rim portion and the joining portion are formed so as to protrude in either direction so that the other surface of the profile is entirely planar.
(Manufacture of bumper beam)
The present invention includes the
That is, the first joining
At this time, the first joining
On the other hand, in the bumper beam according to the present invention, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, in order to manufacture the profile P, the bumper beam is subjected to a softening treatment for a part (indicated by "A" . The softening treatment is a conventional heat treatment method for softening the steel material or improving the machinability. In the present invention, the softening treatment is first applied to a portion where deformation is applied when an external impact is applied, . This softening process can be softened to about 60% of the stiffness of the bumper beam, for example. That is, when the bumper beam produced according to the present invention has a strength of 1.7 GPa in a portion not subjected to the softening treatment, the softening portion softens at a strength of about 1 GPa.
The softening treatment may be performed over the entire length of the bent portion, but it is preferable to partially soften the portion where the first impact is expected when the external impact is applied or the first deformed portion when the external impact is applied .
Generally, when the bumper beam is formed in a profile formed by roll forming, it is difficult to partially change the stiffness and strength because the bumper beams have almost the same thickness. However, the bumper beam according to the present invention can be easily deformed The softened portion is relatively deformed compared with the portion having only the roll forming process so that the direction in which the shock absorption is performed is given So that the shock absorbing performance can be improved. Therefore, the present invention can improve the utilization of the roll forming process.
As described above, according to the present invention, since two types of profiles are arranged face to face with each other facing each other and then bonded together to produce a bumper beam, it is possible to produce a profile necessary for manufacturing a bumper beam, It is possible to reduce the investment cost of the facility and to produce only one kind of profile, which can increase the productivity.
In order to manufacture the bumper beam, since the portions to be joined with the two profiles are formed in a mountain shape, they are brought into contact with each other in a curved shape instead of a plane, so that even when an external force is applied to the joint portion, So that the shock absorbing effect can be enhanced.
