Specific embodiment
The present invention includes the heat-swellable device (1) in a kind of motor vehicle body, is used to close or cut off section, or Fill hollow, this is hollow to be present in automobile body inside, between its laminar surface (2).
For example, in column A, the construction of automobile body leave must closed hollow space, so as to prevent air and Noise is transmitted by automobile body.However, under this special case, the welding of the composition metal sheet of the body portion is suitable Sequence aggravates the difficulty of the task, because sheet material is moved on base construction until the section is closed.
The present invention can be sealed by the way that heat-swellable device (1) is included in vehicle body in the initial step of body construction Close the section, and the section is still within opening and easily accessible so that device (1) to be installed therein.Such as this explanation Shown in the attached Figure 4 and 5 of book, structure arrangement of the invention can even overcome two of the vehicle body to form the mutual of faceplate part Sliding.
As shown in each embodiment in Fig. 1 to 3, device (1) is formed and included by heat-swellable flexible parent metal (3) One or more finger-shaped materials (4).The finger-shaped material (4) is substrate (3) to its outside region outstanding.
This arrangement of device (1) including finger-shaped material (4) according to the present invention provides enough elasticity to be subjected in vehicle body Assembling, welding or machining in construction.As shown in figure 4, when the panel (2) of vehicle body is mobile up to it on another panel When reaching final position (Fig. 5) that it will finally be soldered, device (1) is held and finger-shaped material (4) is pressed against substrate (3) On, once but sheet material (2) has arrived at its position that is final and determining, just leave hollow space, finger-shaped material between them (4) restore its extended position due to its elasticity.
In the manufacturing process of vehicle body, when vehicle body is heated in manufacturing process baking oven, substrate (3) and finger-shaped material (4) It will be expanded with it, to generate separation between the panel (2) of vehicle body, which will seal the section to prevent air, dust With the circulation of noise.
Moreover, it is noted that assembly is additional the present invention provides another in the initial stage for forming automobile body Advantage, i.e. device (1) prevent the collision between panel (2) in an assembling process, this is because it serves as and subtracts in an assembling process Device is shaken to fight the collision of two panels, not only prevents noise, and prevent from damaging the metal sheet.
The device (1) may include the supporting element (5) of rigid material, in terms of the position in vehicle body, with appropriate Form, and be made of any material appropriate.
In preferred embodiment shown in the drawings, which is made of rigidity plastics.On the other hand, in other imaginations In embodiment, which is made of metal or another material, all within the scope of the present invention.
Fig. 1 shows such heat-swellable device.In appropriate circumstances, which can be more or less rigid Property and be it is heat-staple, i.e., vehicle body processing baking oven in it is heat-resisting and indeformable.
When to be mounted, for example, the supporting element (5) may include device in order to which be fastened to vehicle is suitable for face The vehicle body in the region of plate (2).Described device belongs to the known prior art, is machanical fastener, adhesive fastener etc..
Finally, in another possible embodiment, as shown in figure 3, the supporting element (5) has receiving surface (containment surface) (6), such as in the form of lateral fin, for limiting substrate (3) because fuel factor is not towards Desired region expansion, or the expansion is concentrated or guided to specific region.
In addition, the present invention includes the method that heat-swellable device (1) is used in motor vehicle body, according to this method:
In the section that described device (1) was fastened and be mounted on the vehicle body before its closing;
The section is closed by being overlapped and fastening confrontation panel, including, suitably, make the panel in the section Upper sliding reaches its final position until it, in this process, when the panel reaches the final position, the finger-shaped material (4) it is compressed and restores its original operating position by elasticity;
The substrate (3) and finger-shaped material (4) therewith, are expanded because of fuel factor, to generate separation and seal The section is closed to prevent dust, water, air, sound and noise etc..
This method include device (1) is fastened to vehicle body by supporting element (5), wherein the supporting element include device so as to It is not intended to region to expand towards vehicle body in limiting the substrate (3) and/or the finger-shaped material (4), or being intended to will be described swollen It is swollen to guide to specific region.
Implication, in the current situation, according to the claim of offer, thus it is possible to vary neither modify nor change this hair The finishing of bright or its alternate embodiment essence or all details of form.
