Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a bumper stay structure in which reaction peak is restricted to be lower than deformation starting load of a side member while reaction values after the peak can be maintained high. <P>SOLUTION: A bumper stay 20 is composed of a front part 22 having substantially constant cross section on the side of a bumper reinforcement, and a back part 24 having a cross section gradually developed toward the side member. In the back part 24 of the bumper stay, the cross section is gradually developed from the same size as the constant cross section of the front part 22 toward the side member. In continuous parts between the front part 22 and the back part 24, their cross section is substantially continuously changed without forming discontinuous surface. Beads 32 are installed at back parts close to junction parts 21 between the front part 22 and the back part 24. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO

2. Description of the Related Art In an automobile body, a bumper stay is installed between an end of a side member and a bumper reinforcement. The bumper stay is intended to protect the side member by absorbing collision energy by collapsing before the side member when a collision load is applied to the bumper. FIG. 1 schematically shows a bump paste between the end of the side member 10 and the bumper reinforcement 12, and the most conventional type bump paste 14 is usually a cylinder having a constant rectangular cross section as shown in (a). It was a shape. Further, as shown in (b), a bumper stay 16 in which a large cross section on the side member 10 side and a small cross section on the bumper reinforcement 12 side are connected in a stepwise manner, and as shown in (c), the side member 1
A bumper stay 18 has also been proposed in which the cross section changes from a large cross section on the 0 side to a small cross section on the bumper reinforcement 12 side in a tapered shape. See JP-A-8-276804.

The tubular bumper stay 14 having a constant rectangular cross section shown in FIG. 1 (a) has a large reaction force at the time of collision (has a peak) because the ridge lines are parallel to the load direction. However, after that, the buckling on the ridgeline progresses at once and the reaction force has the characteristic of rapidly decreasing. In FIG. 2, a curve a shows the energy absorption characteristic of the bump pasta 14 of FIG. In the figure, L indicates the deformation start load of the side member 10, but in the characteristic a, the reaction force peak exceeds the line L, which is not preferable for the vehicle body, and the reaction force after the peak is rapidly attenuated. Is small,
There was a fear that a sufficient buffer function could not be achieved.

The energy absorption characteristic in the case of the structure of the bumper stay 16 of large and small two stages shown in FIG. 1B is shown by the curve b in FIG.
In this structure, it can be seen that the reaction force peak is significantly reduced due to the presence of the flat surface 16 ′ connecting the ridges. However, since the load after the reaction force peak is also small, the shock is not sufficiently absorbed at the time of a collision, and the deformation is transmitted to the side member despite a small collision, so that the side member cannot be sufficiently protected. I was afraid.

In the case of the taper type bumper stay 18 shown in FIG. 1 (c), since the ridge line is inclined, the peak is suppressed as shown by the curve c in FIG. 2 by the structure of FIG. 1 (a). However, the subsequent characteristics are similar to those of the bump paste 14 of (a), and since the reaction force is considerably smaller than the line L, the amount of energy that can be absorbed is small and it is insufficient for sufficient protection of the side members.

To explain the operation and effect of the invention of claim 1, the bumper stay has a first portion having a substantially constant cross-section on the bumper reinforcement side and a first portion having a cross-section gradually increasing toward the side member. Since it is composed of two parts, at the time of collision, the first part on the bumper reinforcement side having a constant cross section is deformed so as to sneak into the second part on the side member side, so that the peak is suppressed. ,
After that, since the first part deforms so as to be folded, the reaction force after the peak can be largely maintained, and the reaction force can be maintained as large as possible without exceeding the side member deformation start load. Therefore, it is possible to obtain an ideal collision energy absorption characteristic.

FIG. 6 schematically shows the operation of the bump paste 20 according to the embodiment of the present invention at the time of a collision. When the collision load F is applied as shown in (a) from the bumper reinforcement, the deformation occurs. In the initial process, the joint portion 21 between the front portion 22 and the rear portion 24 is the weakest part in the structure, so this joint portion 21 becomes the starting point of deformation, and as shown in (b), The truncated cone-shaped rear portion 24 is buckled at its ridge, and the front portion 22 having a constant cross section is rear portion 24.
It transforms to sneak in. In the subsequent second-stage deformation process, the ridgeline of the front part 22 is deformed so as to be folded as shown in (c). In FIG. 2, the solid line d shows the energy absorption characteristics of the bumper stay 20 according to the embodiment of the present invention, but the rear portion 24 has a cone shape and the ridge line is inclined in the load direction, so the peak load at the start of deformation is The structure of FIG. 1A in which the ridge is parallel to the load direction (plate thickness t
Is assumed to be the same), and is further suppressed as compared with the characteristic a in the case of, and becomes less than the deformation start load L of the side member. By installing the bead 32 in the rear portion 24 near the joint portion 21, the magnitude of the peak load can be adjusted by the design (size and number) of the bead 32. Then, during the initial deformation of the rear part 24, the bumper stay front part 22 remains substantially undeformed as shown in (b), and then the front part 22 is deformed so as to be folded as shown in (c). By doing so, the load can be increased up to the vicinity of the deformation starting load L of the side member as indicated by d'in FIG. Therefore, the bumper stay 20 according to the first embodiment of the present invention can increase the total amount of absorbed energy while maintaining the same thickness t of the iron plate as a raw material, and protect the vehicle body in the event of a collision. You can In addition, the joint portion 21 of the front portion 22 having a constant cross section and the rear portion 24 having the expanded cross section has a substantially continuous change in cross-sectional area, and has a widthwise plane (16 'in FIG. 1B). Since there is no discontinuous surface, high durability can be exhibited even with respect to the input of the load component in the width direction (force component in the direction orthogonal to the arrow F in FIG. 4A).

FIG. 7 shows a bumper stay 120 according to a second embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment also, the bumper stay 120 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped front portion 122 (the present invention having a constant cross section on the bumper reinforcement side). And a first portion of the bumper stay in the front portion 122, the cross section of which is substantially continuously changed, and the size of the rectangular cross section gradually increases in the vertical direction toward the side member 10. And a truncated cone-shaped rear portion 124 (second portion of the present invention). In this second embodiment, the size of the rectangular cross section of the rear part 124 changes only in the vertical direction, and the point that the horizontal direction remains constant is that the size of the cross section changes both vertically and horizontally. This is a difference from the first embodiment. Also in this embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the reaction force peak can be suppressed and the load after the peak can be increased so as to approximate the deformation start load of the side member, which has the effect of increasing the energy absorption amount.
