Description

本発明は、自動車の車体パネルと内装材との間に取り付けられる衝撃吸収体の取付構造に関する。   The present invention relates to a shock absorber mounting structure that is mounted between a vehicle body panel and an interior material of an automobile.

従来より、車体パネルの乗員室側に、主に意匠性を付与する目的でフロアカーペットやドアトリムなどの内装材が配設されている。これらの車体パネルと内装材との間に、自動車事故などによる衝突時にエネルギーを吸収して乗員に加わる衝撃を緩和することを目的として、衝撃を吸収可能な材質からなる衝撃吸収体が配設されている。衝撃吸収体としては、ウレタンフォームや繊維成形体を適用することも可能であるが、ポリスチレン樹脂やポリプロピレン樹脂の粒子に発泡剤を配合し、所要のキャビティを有する成形型にこれらを充填し、蒸気などにより加熱発泡させて成形した、いわゆるビーズ発泡成形体が用いられることが多い。ビーズ発泡体を用いる利点としては、発泡させることにより低密度の成形体を所要の形状に形成することが比較的容易なため、衝撃吸収体が軽量となり、かつ、通常使用時には一定の剛性を持ち所要形状を保つが、衝撃荷重などの強い応力が加わると潰れて衝撃エネルギーを吸収するという衝撃吸収体に要求される特性を得やすいからである。   Conventionally, interior materials such as floor carpets and door trims have been disposed on the passenger compartment side of the vehicle body panel mainly for the purpose of imparting design properties. Between these body panels and interior materials, an impact absorber made of a material capable of absorbing impacts is disposed for the purpose of absorbing energy in the event of a collision due to an automobile accident and mitigating the impact applied to the occupant. ing. As the shock absorber, urethane foam or fiber molded body can be applied, but a foaming agent is blended with polystyrene resin or polypropylene resin particles, and these are filled in a mold having a required cavity, and steam In many cases, a so-called bead foam molded body formed by heating and foaming is used. The advantage of using a bead foam is that it is relatively easy to form a low-density molded product into the required shape by foaming, so the shock absorber is lightweight and has a certain rigidity during normal use. This is because the required shape is maintained, but it is easy to obtain characteristics required for an impact absorber that is crushed and absorbs impact energy when a strong stress such as an impact load is applied.

ビーズ発泡成形体などからなる衝撃吸収体を車体パネルと内装材の間に取り付ける際には、接着面に接着剤を塗布して接着することにより取り付けたり、接合面に両面テープを貼付して貼り付けることにより取り付けたり、特許文献1,2記載の技術のように樹脂クリップなどの別部品を用いて取り付けたりしている。   When mounting an impact absorber made of bead foam molding between the body panel and the interior material, it is attached by applying an adhesive to the adhesive surface and bonding it, or affixing a double-sided tape on the bonding surface It attaches by attaching, or it attaches using another components, such as a resin clip, like the technique of patent documents 1 and 2.

特許文献1には、ウレタン等の軟質樹脂材から成るむくの材料で形成されたフットレスト本体におけるフロアへ取付ける面に筒状の剛性クリップが固着され、当該クリップがフロアに立設された棒状スタッドを受入れることにより、フットレストがフロアに取り付けられることが記載されている。
特許文献2には、クリップを互いに係合可能な雄部材と雌部材とで構成し、ダッシュサイレンサに雄部材を取り付け、ティビアパッドに雌部材を取り付けて、雄部材と雌部材とを係合させることによりティビアパッドがダッシュサイレンサに取り付けられることが記載されている。

In Patent Document 1, a cylindrical rigid clip is fixed to a surface of a footrest body made of a soft resin material such as urethane, which is attached to a floor, and a rod-like stud standing on the floor is fixed. It is described that the footrest can be attached to the floor by receiving.
In Patent Document 2, the clip is composed of a male member and a female member that can be engaged with each other, the male member is attached to the dash silencer, the female member is attached to the tibia pad, and the male member and the female member are engaged. Describes that the tibia pad can be attached to the dash silencer.

接着剤や両面テープを用いて衝撃吸収体を車体パネルと内装材の間に取り付ける場合、車両解体時に衝撃吸収体を剥ぎ取ると車体パネルや内装材に衝撃吸収体の一部および接着剤成分が残ってしまい、衝撃吸収体を壊さずに車体パネルや内装材から分離することができない。そのため、衝撃吸収体をリサイクルすることができないとともに、車体パネルや内装材のリサイクル性も良くないという問題があった。
別部品である樹脂クリップを使用する場合、車両解体時に衝撃吸収体と樹脂クリップを分離する必要があり、この分離の際に衝撃吸収体が割れたり、折れたり、剥がれたりすることにより、衝撃吸収体のリサイクル性が良くないという問題があった。また、樹脂クリップに用いられる材料は衝撃吸収体に比べて硬質な別材料を用いているため、樹脂クリップの取付箇所では衝撃吸収性能が低下してしまい、全体として衝撃吸収量が低下するという課題が残っていた。
When mounting the shock absorber between the body panel and the interior material using adhesive or double-sided tape, if the impact absorber is peeled off when the vehicle is disassembled, a part of the shock absorber and the adhesive component will be present on the body panel or interior material. It remains and cannot be separated from the vehicle body panel and interior material without breaking the shock absorber. For this reason, there is a problem that the shock absorber cannot be recycled and the recyclability of the vehicle body panel and the interior material is not good.
When using a resin clip that is a separate part, it is necessary to separate the shock absorber from the resin clip when the vehicle is disassembled, and the shock absorber breaks, breaks, or peels off during this separation. There was a problem that the recyclability of the body was not good. In addition, since the material used for the resin clip is a different material that is harder than the shock absorber, the shock absorption performance is reduced at the mounting location of the resin clip, and the shock absorption amount as a whole is reduced. Was left.

特許文献1記載の技術では、剛性クリップが棒状スタッドに対して着脱可能とされていないので、車両解体時にフットレストをフロアから取り外そうとすると軟質樹脂材のフットレストは剛性クリップが固着された部分で壊れてしまう。従って、フットレストをリサイクルすることができない。また、剛性クリップの固着箇所では衝撃吸収性能が低下してしまう。
特許文献2記載の技術では、雄部材から雌部材を取り外すのが容易ではないため、車両解体時にティビアパッドをダッシュサイレンサから取り外すのに時間がかかるという問題があった。そのため、ティビアパッドの取り外しを急ぐと、ティビアパッドが割れたり、折れたり、剥がれたりして、ティビアパッドをリサイクルすることができなくなってしまう。また、雌部材は衝撃吸収体に比べて硬質な別材料を用いているため、雌部材の取付箇所では衝撃吸収性能が低下してしまう。
In the technique described in Patent Document 1, since the rigid clip is not detachable from the rod-shaped stud, when the footrest is removed from the floor when the vehicle is disassembled, the soft resin footrest is a portion where the rigid clip is fixed. It will break. Therefore, the footrest cannot be recycled. Further, the impact absorbing performance is deteriorated at the fixing position of the rigid clip.
In the technique described in Patent Document 2, since it is not easy to remove the female member from the male member, there is a problem that it takes time to remove the tibia pad from the dash silencer when the vehicle is disassembled. Therefore, if the removal of the tibia pad is accelerated, the tibia pad is cracked, broken, or peeled off, and the tibia pad cannot be recycled. Further, since the female member uses a different material that is harder than the shock absorber, the shock absorbing performance is deteriorated at the location where the female member is attached.

本発明は、上記課題にかんがみてなされたもので、車体パネルと内装材との間に衝撃吸収体を着脱させることを容易にさせ、衝撃吸収体のリサイクル性を向上させることを目的とする。   The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to make it easy to attach and detach the shock absorber between the vehicle body panel and the interior material and to improve the recyclability of the shock absorber.

衝撃吸収体の取付時には、衝撃吸収体の係合部を車体パネルまたは内装材に設けられた貫通穴に貫通させ、車体パネルまたは内装材に対して係合させることにより、容易に衝撃吸収体を車体パネルと内装材との間に取り付けることができる。ここで、衝撃吸収体の係合部は車体パネルまたは内装材に対して着脱可能とされているので、同係合部と車体パネルまたは内装材との係合を解放させて同係合部を貫通穴から引き抜くことにより、容易に衝撃吸収体を車体パネルと内装材との間から取り外すことができる。
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an impact absorber for attaching an impact absorber made of a material capable of absorbing an impact between a body panel of an automobile and an interior material provided closer to the passenger compartment than the body panel.

すなわち、衝撃吸収体の取付時に接着剤や両面テープを用いないので、接着剤を塗布したり両面テープを貼り付けたりする必要が無いことにより取付時の工数を削減して迅速に衝撃吸収体を取り付けることができる。また、車両解体時や衝撃吸収体を交換する時などに衝撃吸収体を剥ぎ取る必要が無いことにより衝撃吸収体の割れ、折れ、剥がれなどを起こすことがなく、リサイクル性、メンテナンス性が大幅に向上する。   That is, since no adhesive or double-sided tape is used when mounting the shock absorber, there is no need to apply adhesive or affix double-sided tape. Can be attached. In addition, since it is not necessary to peel off the shock absorber when disassembling the vehicle or replacing the shock absorber, the shock absorber will not crack, bend, or peel off, greatly improving recyclability and maintainability. improves.

フロアカーペット20は、意匠性、吸音性、遮音性などを主な目的として、乗員室のフロア全体を覆ってフロアパネルの平坦部10aと立壁部10bとの外形に沿うように成形されてフロアパネル10上に設けられる。フロアカーペット20の表皮材22には、基布に立毛パイルを組織したタフトカーペットや、不織ウェブをニードリングして繊維相互を絡め形成したニードルパンチカーペット等が用いられる。フロアカーペット20の裏面には、内装材基材24として、低密度ポリエチレン、エチレン酢酸ビニル等の低融点の熱可塑性樹脂からなる薄いシートが裏打ちされる。この裏打ちを加熱、可塑化させた状態で所要の形状にプレス成形することにより、自動車のフロアパネル10に沿う形状に賦形される。   The floor carpet 20 is formed so as to cover the entire floor of the passenger compartment and conform to the outer shape of the flat portion 10a and the standing wall portion 10b for the main purpose of design, sound absorption, and sound insulation. 10 is provided. As the skin material 22 of the floor carpet 20, a tuft carpet in which napped piles are organized on a base fabric, a needle punch carpet in which fibers are entangled by needling a nonwoven web, or the like is used. The back surface of the floor carpet 20 is lined with a thin sheet made of a low melting point thermoplastic resin such as low density polyethylene or ethylene vinyl acetate as the interior material base material 24. The backing is heated and plasticized, and is press-molded into a desired shape to be shaped into a shape along the floor panel 10 of the automobile.

自動車の前面衝突時、自動車内の前席乗員Mの足下となるフロアパネルの平坦部10aと立壁部10bとの境界部10cには、斜め上後方に突き上げられる強い衝撃が加わり、乗員Mの足へ大きな衝撃荷重が加わることになる。そこで、境界部10cに、フロアパネル10とフロアカーペット20との間にティビアパッドと呼ばれる衝撃を吸収する材質からなる衝撃吸収体30を配設している。ここで、フロアパネル10には樹脂製ソケット(係止部材)12によって貫通穴13が設けられており、衝撃吸収体30に、同貫通穴13を貫通してフロアパネル10に対して着脱可能に係合する形状とされた係合部34を設けてある。
参考例の衝撃吸収体30は、厚さ10〜50mm程度の衝撃吸収体本体部32と上記係合部34とから構成してあり、本体部32と係合部34とが一体化されて形成されている。また、図2に示すように係合部34を二つ設けている(係合部34A,B)が、係合部は一つでもよいし、三つ以上でもよい。そして、係合部の数の貫通穴を車体パネルまたは内装材に設けておけばよい。
上記衝撃吸収体30は、自動車乗員室の運転席の足下と助手席の足下の少なくとも一方へと配設される。むろん、運転席の足下から助手席の足下にかけて単一の衝撃吸収構造体を設置してもよい。
At the time of a frontal collision of the vehicle, a strong impact that is pushed up obliquely upward and rearward is applied to the boundary portion 10c between the flat portion 10a and the standing wall portion 10b of the floor panel that is the foot of the front seat occupant M in the vehicle. A large impact load is applied. Therefore, an impact absorber 30 made of a material that absorbs impact called a tibia pad is disposed between the floor panel 10 and the floor carpet 20 at the boundary portion 10c. Here, the floor panel 10 is provided with a through hole 13 by a resin socket (locking member) 12 so that the shock absorber 30 can be attached to and detached from the floor panel 10 through the through hole 13. An engaging portion 34 having a shape to be engaged is provided.
The shock absorber 30 of this reference example is composed of a shock absorber main body 32 having a thickness of about 10 to 50 mm and the engaging portion 34, and the main body 32 and the engaging portion 34 are integrated. Is formed. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, two engaging portions 34 are provided (engaging portions 34A and 34B), but there may be one engaging portion or three or more engaging portions. And what is necessary is just to provide the through-hole of the number of engaging parts in a vehicle body panel or interior material.
The shock absorber 30 is disposed on at least one of the feet of the driver's seat and the passenger's seat of the automobile passenger compartment. Of course, a single shock absorbing structure may be installed from the driver's seat to the passenger's seat.

衝撃吸収体30としては、各種ビーズ発泡体、ウレタンフォーム、繊維成形体などを用いることができるが、衝撃を吸収する観点から発泡させた材質が好ましく、合成樹脂を発泡させた材質がさらに好ましい。衝撃発生時、フロアカーペット20を介して衝撃吸収体30から乗員の足へ衝撃が伝えられることになるが、適度な剛性の合成樹脂の発泡体が衝撃を吸収するので、乗員の足への衝撃を少なくさせることができる。発泡させる合成樹脂としては、成形の容易性から熱可塑性樹脂が好ましく、ポリプロピレン、ポリスチレン、ポリエチレン、等を用いることができる。また、衝撃吸収体の形状に成形する際には、プラスチックに発泡剤を混合して発泡させた発泡プラスチックを所定のダイから押し出して成形してもよいし、ビーズ状のプラスチックに発泡剤を含浸させて予備発泡させた後に金型内に充填してさらに加熱発泡させて成形してもよい。発泡剤としては、ブタンやペンタン等の炭化水素を発生させる揮発性発泡剤、炭酸アンモニウム等の炭酸ガス等を発生させる無機系発泡剤、等を用いることができる。衝撃吸収体に適度な剛性を与え、車両走行および衝撃発生に対する係合部34の耐久性を良好にさせる点から、比較的剛性の高いポリプロピレン系のビーズ発泡成形体が衝撃吸収体として特に好ましい。   As the shock absorber 30, various bead foams, urethane foams, fiber molded bodies and the like can be used, but a foamed material is preferable from the viewpoint of absorbing impact, and a synthetic resin foamed material is more preferable. When an impact occurs, the impact is transmitted from the shock absorber 30 to the occupant's foot via the floor carpet 20, but since the foam of a moderately rigid synthetic resin absorbs the impact, the impact on the occupant's foot Can be reduced. As the synthetic resin to be foamed, a thermoplastic resin is preferable from the viewpoint of easy molding, and polypropylene, polystyrene, polyethylene, and the like can be used. Also, when molding into the shape of the shock absorber, the foamed plastic obtained by mixing the foaming agent with the plastic may be extruded from a predetermined die, or the beaded plastic is impregnated with the foaming agent. Then, after pre-foaming, it may be filled in a mold and further heated and foamed for molding. As the foaming agent, volatile foaming agents that generate hydrocarbons such as butane and pentane, inorganic foaming agents that generate carbon dioxide gas such as ammonium carbonate, and the like can be used. From the viewpoint of imparting moderate rigidity to the shock absorber and improving the durability of the engaging portion 34 against vehicle running and impact generation, a polypropylene bead foam molded body having a relatively high rigidity is particularly preferable as the shock absorber.

図3は、係合部34をソケット12に挿入させる様子を斜視図により示している。係合部34は、貫通穴13に挿入する方向(図の下方向)に突出し、当該挿入する方向の途中でくびれ部35が形成された形状とされている。図に示すように、係合部34は、衝撃吸収体本体部32に繋がる基部から先端部34aに向かって徐々に細くされながらくびれ部35で最も細くなり、くびれ部35から先端部34aに向かっては徐々に太くされた形状とされている。
一方、フロアパネル10には樹脂製ソケット12を挿入して係止させることができるように表裏を貫通した貫通穴11(図1参照)が形成されており、同貫通穴11に複数のくびれ部挿入部15全てを挿入してフロアパネル10にソケット12が取り付けられている。ソケット12は、弾性を有する材質とされ、係合部34を貫通させる貫通穴13が形成されている。本参考例のソケット12は、貫通穴13が形成されてフロアパネル10の上面において同フロアパネルと平行に保持される基部14を備えるとともに、この基部14における貫通穴13側の縁部14aから下方に向かって延出したくびれ部挿入部15を複数備えている。各くびれ部挿入部15は、係合部34の形状に合わせて、縁部14aから先端部14cに向かってお互い徐々に近づきながら山部14bで最も近づき、山部14bから先端部14cに向かってはお互い徐々に遠ざかる形状に形成されている。なお、各くびれ部挿入部15には外側に向かって突出した係合爪14d(図1参照)と基部14とでフロアパネル10における貫通穴の周囲を挟むようにしてソケット12がフロアパネル10に係止可能である。
ソケットは、当該ソケットの形状の金型に射出成形用の合成樹脂を射出して成形する等により、形成可能である。ソケットに用いる樹脂としては、ポリプロピレンやポリエチレン等の熱可塑性樹脂、熱硬化性樹脂、等を採用可能である。
FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing how the engaging portion 34 is inserted into the socket 12. The engaging portion 34 protrudes in the direction of insertion into the through hole 13 (downward in the figure), and has a shape in which a constricted portion 35 is formed in the insertion direction. As shown in the figure, the engaging portion 34 is thinned at the constricted portion 35 while being gradually narrowed from the base portion connected to the shock absorber main body portion 32 toward the distal end portion 34a, and from the constricted portion 35 toward the distal end portion 34a. The shape is gradually thickened.
On the other hand, the floor panel 10 is formed with a through hole 11 (see FIG. 1) penetrating the front and back so that a resin socket 12 can be inserted and locked, and a plurality of constricted portions are formed in the through hole 11. The socket 12 is attached to the floor panel 10 by inserting all the insertion portions 15. The socket 12 is made of a material having elasticity, and a through hole 13 through which the engaging portion 34 passes is formed. The socket 12 of this reference example includes a base portion 14 in which a through hole 13 is formed and is held in parallel with the floor panel on the upper surface of the floor panel 10, and is downward from an edge portion 14 a on the through hole 13 side of the base portion 14. A plurality of constricted portion insertion portions 15 extending toward the end are provided. In accordance with the shape of the engaging portion 34, each constricted portion insertion portion 15 approaches the peak portion 14b while gradually approaching from the edge portion 14a toward the tip portion 14c, and from the peak portion 14b to the tip portion 14c. Are formed in shapes that gradually move away from each other. In addition, the socket 12 is locked to the floor panel 10 so that the periphery of the through hole in the floor panel 10 is sandwiched between the engagement claw 14d (see FIG. 1) protruding outward and the base portion 14 in each constricted portion insertion portion 15. Is possible.
The socket can be formed by injecting and molding a synthetic resin for injection molding into a mold having the shape of the socket. As the resin used for the socket, thermoplastic resins such as polypropylene and polyethylene, thermosetting resins, and the like can be used.

以上の構成により、くびれ部挿入部15は、貫通穴13に係合部34が挿入されるときに撓み動作を経てくびれ部35に挿入し、同貫通穴13から係合部34を引き抜くときに撓みながらくびれ部35から外れる。従って、容易に衝撃吸収体を車体パネルに対して着脱させることができる。
上述したようにソケットを合成樹脂製とすると適度な剛性となって衝撃吸収体の係合部の耐久性を向上させることができる点で好適なものの、ゴム製、金属製、等としてもよい。
With the above configuration, the constricted portion inserting portion 15 is inserted into the constricted portion 35 through a bending operation when the engaging portion 34 is inserted into the through hole 13, and is pulled out from the through hole 13. It comes off from the constricted part 35 while bending. Therefore, the shock absorber can be easily attached to and detached from the vehicle body panel.
As described above, if the socket is made of a synthetic resin, it is suitable in that it can have an appropriate rigidity and can improve the durability of the engaging portion of the shock absorber, but it may be made of rubber, metal, or the like.

衝撃吸収体30を形成するには、例えば、以下のようにすればよい。
まず、ポリプロピレン樹脂等の熱可塑性樹脂に発泡剤を添加してビーズ状に予備発泡させ、ビーズ状樹脂粒子を多数形成する。次に、ビーズ状樹脂粒子の径よりも小さい径の蒸気孔を複数有するとともに衝撃吸収体の形状に合わせた成形型内にビーズ状樹脂粒子を多数充填し、型締めする。さらに、ビーズ状樹脂粒子を構成する熱可塑性樹脂を加熱溶融させる温度にまで所定の加熱機により温度を上昇させた水蒸気を成形型内に導入する。すると、成形型内を加熱することができ、ビーズ状樹脂粒子をさらに発泡させながらビーズ状樹脂粒子どうしを溶融させながら結着させて衝撃吸収体を形成させる。成形型内を冷却した後、成形型を開くと、形成された衝撃吸収体を取り出すことができる。これにより、係合部34を含めて合成樹脂を発泡させた材質で形成された衝撃吸収体30が得られる。
For example, the shock absorber 30 may be formed as follows.
First, a foaming agent is added to a thermoplastic resin such as polypropylene resin and pre-foamed into beads to form a large number of bead-shaped resin particles. Next, a large number of bead-shaped resin particles are filled in a mold having a plurality of vapor holes having a diameter smaller than the diameter of the bead-shaped resin particles and matching the shape of the shock absorber, and the mold is clamped. Furthermore, water vapor whose temperature is raised by a predetermined heater up to a temperature at which the thermoplastic resin constituting the bead-like resin particles is heated and melted is introduced into the mold. Then, the inside of the mold can be heated, and the bead-shaped resin particles are further foamed and bound while the bead-shaped resin particles are melted to form an impact absorber. After the inside of the mold is cooled, the formed shock absorber can be taken out by opening the mold. Thereby, the shock absorber 30 formed of a material obtained by foaming synthetic resin including the engaging portion 34 is obtained.

(2)衝撃吸収体の取付構造の作用、効果:
以下、図1〜図3を参照して、本衝撃吸収構体の取付構造の作用、効果を説明する。
衝撃吸収体30をフロアパネル10に取り付ける時には、フロアカーペット20を敷設する前に、衝撃吸収体本体部32を持って係合部34を貫通穴13に貫通させていく作業を行う。すると、ソケットのくびれ部挿入部15が外側へ撓む動作を経て係合部のくびれ部35に挿入して係合部34を係止させ、係合部34がフロアパネル10に対して係合する。その後、フロアカーペット20を敷設すると、衝撃吸収体がフロアパネル10とフロアカーペット20との間に取付固定される。従って、係合部34を貫通穴13に挿入するという簡単な操作で容易に衝撃吸収体を車体パネルと内装材との間に取り付けることができる。
また、衝撃吸収体をフロアパネルから取り外す時には、フロアカーペット20を剥がし、衝撃吸収体本体部32を持って係合部34を貫通穴13とは反対方向に引っぱる作業を行う。すると、ソケットのくびれ部挿入部15が外側へ撓みながら係合部のくびれ部35から外れ、フロアパネル10から係合部34の係止を解放させて係合部34を引き抜くことができる。従って、係合部34を貫通穴13から引き抜くという簡単な操作で容易に衝撃吸収体を車体パネルと内装材との間から取り外すことができる。
(2) Action and effect of shock absorber mounting structure:
Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 1-3, the effect | action and effect of the attachment structure of this shock absorption structure are demonstrated.
When the shock absorber 30 is attached to the floor panel 10, before the floor carpet 20 is laid, an operation of holding the shock absorber main body 32 and penetrating the engaging portion 34 through the through hole 13 is performed. Then, the socket constriction portion insertion portion 15 is bent outward and inserted into the constriction portion 35 of the engagement portion to lock the engagement portion 34, and the engagement portion 34 engages with the floor panel 10. To do. Thereafter, when the floor carpet 20 is laid, the shock absorber is attached and fixed between the floor panel 10 and the floor carpet 20. Therefore, the shock absorber can be easily attached between the vehicle body panel and the interior material by a simple operation of inserting the engaging portion 34 into the through hole 13.
Further, when removing the shock absorber from the floor panel, the floor carpet 20 is peeled off, and the engagement portion 34 is pulled in the direction opposite to the through hole 13 with the shock absorber main body 32 held. Then, the constricted part insertion part 15 of the socket is detached from the constricted part 35 of the engaging part while bending outward, and the engaging part 34 can be pulled out by releasing the locking of the engaging part 34 from the floor panel 10. Therefore, the shock absorber can be easily removed from between the vehicle body panel and the interior material by a simple operation of pulling out the engaging portion 34 from the through hole 13.

本衝撃吸収体の取付構造では、衝撃吸収体の取付時に接着剤を塗布したり両面テープを貼り付けたりする必要が無いので、取付作業の工数を削減して迅速に衝撃吸収体を取り付けることができる。また、接着剤や両面テープや高剛性の樹脂クリップを用いていないことにより、車両解体時や衝撃吸収体を交換する時などに衝撃吸収体が壊れず、車体パネルや内装材のリサイクル性が向上するとともに、衝撃吸収体のリサイクル性、メンテナンス性が向上する。従って、車体パネルと内装材との間に衝撃吸収体を着脱させることを容易にさせ、衝撃吸収体のリサイクル性を向上させることが可能となる。
さらに、係合部が衝撃吸収体本体部と一体化されているので、係合部を分離することなく衝撃吸収体を取り外すことができ、この点でも容易に衝撃吸収体をリサイクルすることができる。また、係合部が本体とともに合成樹脂を発泡させた材質で形成されているので、係合部付近で衝撃吸収体本体部が局所的にエネルギー吸収量が低下することを防ぐことが可能となる。
With this shock absorber mounting structure, it is not necessary to apply adhesive or affix double-sided tape when mounting the shock absorber, so it is possible to reduce the number of mounting steps and mount the shock absorber quickly. it can. In addition, by not using adhesives, double-sided tape, or high-rigidity resin clips, the shock absorber is not broken when the vehicle is disassembled or when the shock absorber is replaced, and the recyclability of the body panel and interior materials is improved. In addition, the recyclability and maintainability of the shock absorber are improved. Therefore, it is possible to easily attach and detach the shock absorber between the vehicle body panel and the interior material, and it is possible to improve the recyclability of the shock absorber.
Furthermore, since the engaging portion is integrated with the shock absorber main body, the shock absorber can be removed without separating the engaging portion, and the shock absorber can be easily recycled in this respect as well. . Further, since the engaging portion is formed of a material obtained by foaming synthetic resin together with the main body, it is possible to prevent the energy absorption amount of the shock absorber main body portion from locally decreasing in the vicinity of the engaging portion. .

(3)変形例:
なお、本発明は、種々の変形例が考えられる。
衝撃吸収体は、車体パネルとフロアマットとの間に取り付けられてもよいし、フロアマットからフロアカーペットにかけての裏側に単一の衝撃吸収体として取り付けられてもよい。また、衝撃吸収体の取付箇所は、フロアパネルの平坦部10a上のみ、立壁部10b上のみ、ドアトリム、ピラー、ダッシュボード、天井、これらの組み合わせ、等でもよい。これらの場合、衝撃吸収体を覆う内装材には衝撃吸収体の取付位置に応じた内装材を使用すればよい。
図4に示すように、車体パネルが少なくともアウターパネル41と当該アウターパネルよりも車室側に設けられるインナーパネル42とから構成される場合、インナーパネル42に貫通穴43を形成して衝撃吸収体30の係合部34を貫通させて着脱可能に係合させてもよい。むろん、アウターパネル41に貫通穴を形成して係合部を貫通させて着脱可能に係合させてもよい。アウターパネルおよびインナーパネル以外の第三の車体パネルが設けられている場合にも、同様のことが言える。また、同図に示すように、インナーパネル(車体パネル)42に直接形成された貫通穴43に係合部34を貫通させて着脱可能に係合させてもよい。同図では、上記くびれ部挿入部15と略同形状のくびれ部挿入部45が複数インナーパネル42に直接形成されていることが示されており、同くびれ部挿入部45が係合部のくびれ部35に挿入して係合部34がくびれ部挿入部45に係止される。
(3) Modification:
The present invention can be modified in various ways.
The shock absorber may be attached between the vehicle body panel and the floor mat, or may be attached as a single shock absorber on the back side from the floor mat to the floor carpet. Moreover, the mounting location of the shock absorber may be only on the flat portion 10a of the floor panel, only on the standing wall portion 10b, door trim, pillar, dashboard, ceiling, a combination thereof, or the like. In these cases, an interior material corresponding to the mounting position of the impact absorber may be used as the interior material covering the impact absorber.
As shown in FIG. 4, when the vehicle body panel is composed of at least an outer panel 41 and an inner panel 42 provided closer to the passenger compartment than the outer panel, a through hole 43 is formed in the inner panel 42 to form a shock absorber. The 30 engaging portions 34 may be passed through and detachably engaged. Needless to say, a through hole may be formed in the outer panel 41 so that the engaging portion is penetrated to be detachably engaged. The same can be said when a third vehicle body panel other than the outer panel and the inner panel is provided. Moreover, as shown in the figure, the engaging portion 34 may be passed through a through-hole 43 formed directly in the inner panel (vehicle body panel) 42 so as to be detachably engaged. In the figure, it is shown that the constricted portion inserting portion 45 having the same shape as the constricted portion inserting portion 15 is formed directly on the plurality of inner panels 42, and the constricted portion inserting portion 45 is constricted in the engaging portion. The engaging portion 34 is locked to the constricted portion inserting portion 45 by being inserted into the portion 35.

図5に示すように、内装材が少なくとも表皮材22と当該表皮材22の裏面に設けられた内装材基材24とから構成される場合、内装材基材24に貫通穴25を形成して衝撃吸収体50の係合部54を貫通させて着脱可能に係合させてもよい。むろん、表皮材22に貫通穴を形成して係合部を貫通させて着脱可能に係合させてもよい。表皮材22および内装材基材24以外の第三の層が設けられている場合にも、同様のことが言える。係合部54は、衝撃吸収体本体部52から車室方向に突出しており、内装材基材に設けられた貫通穴25を貫通して表皮材に当接することによりフロアカーペット20に対して着脱可能に係合する。係合部54が表皮材22に突き当たってフロアカーペット20に係合するので、取付時の衝撃吸収体50を確実に固定させることが可能となる。   As shown in FIG. 5, when the interior material is composed of at least a skin material 22 and an interior material base material 24 provided on the back surface of the skin material 22, a through hole 25 is formed in the interior material base material 24. The engaging portion 54 of the shock absorber 50 may be passed through and detachably engaged. Needless to say, a through hole may be formed in the skin material 22 and the engaging portion may be penetrated to be detachably engaged. The same can be said when a third layer other than the skin material 22 and the interior material base material 24 is provided. The engaging portion 54 protrudes from the shock absorber main body portion 52 toward the passenger compartment, and is attached to and detached from the floor carpet 20 by penetrating through the through hole 25 provided in the interior material base material and contacting the skin material. Engage possible. Since the engaging portion 54 abuts against the skin material 22 and engages with the floor carpet 20, it is possible to securely fix the shock absorber 50 at the time of attachment.

図6に示すように、インナーパネル42における車室側の面に弾性を有する材質(例えばポリプロピレン等の合成樹脂)からなる台座(係止部材)46を取り付けて固定し、この台座46に形成した貫通穴47に衝撃吸収体30の係合部36を貫通させて着脱可能に係合させてもよい。このような台座を内装材基材24(フロアカーペット20における車外側の面)に取り付けて固定し、この台座に形成した貫通穴に貫通させて係合部を着脱可能に係合させてもよい。
インナーパネルに台座を取り付ける場合、台座に設けられた貫通穴を貫通して同インナーパネルに当接することにより同インナーパネルに対して着脱可能に係合するように係合部を形成してもよい。例えば係合部を貫通穴への挿入方向に対する垂直断面が円形の円柱形状とすると、台座の貫通穴に貫通させてインナーパネルに当接させ、インナーパネルに対して着脱可能に係合させることができる。また、内装材基材に台座を取り付ける場合、台座に設けられた貫通穴を貫通して同内装材基材に当接することにより同内装材基材に対して着脱可能に係合するように係合部を形成してもよい。例えば係合部を貫通穴への挿入方向に対する垂直断面が円形の円柱形状とすると、台座の貫通穴に貫通させて内装材基材に当接させ、内装材基材に対して着脱可能に係合させることができる。これらの場合、係合部がインナーパネルや内装材基材に当接して台座によりインナーパネルや内装材基材に係合するので、取付時の衝撃吸収体を確実に固定させることが可能となる。
As shown in FIG. 6, a pedestal (locking member) 46 made of an elastic material (for example, synthetic resin such as polypropylene) is attached and fixed to the surface of the inner panel 42 on the passenger compartment side, and formed on the pedestal 46. The engaging portion 36 of the shock absorber 30 may be passed through the through hole 47 so as to be detachably engaged. Such a pedestal may be attached and fixed to the interior material base material 24 (the surface outside the vehicle in the floor carpet 20), and the engaging portion may be detachably engaged by penetrating through a through hole formed in the pedestal. .
When the pedestal is attached to the inner panel, the engaging portion may be formed so as to be detachably engaged with the inner panel by passing through a through hole provided in the pedestal and contacting the inner panel. . For example, if the engaging portion has a cylindrical shape with a circular cross section perpendicular to the direction of insertion into the through hole, the engaging portion can be pierced through the through hole of the pedestal and brought into contact with the inner panel to be detachably engaged with the inner panel. it can. In addition, when attaching the pedestal to the interior material base material, the pedestal is detachably engaged with the interior material base material by passing through a through hole provided in the pedestal and contacting the interior material base material. A joint may be formed. For example, if the engaging part has a cylindrical shape with a circular cross section perpendicular to the direction of insertion into the through hole, the engaging part is passed through the through hole of the pedestal and brought into contact with the interior material base so that it can be attached to and detached from the interior material base. Can be combined. In these cases, the engaging portion abuts against the inner panel or the interior material base material and engages with the inner panel or the interior material base material by the pedestal, so that it is possible to securely fix the shock absorber during mounting. .

衝撃吸収体の係合部を衝撃吸収体本体部(衝撃吸収体のうち係合部を除く部分)よりも高密度に形成してもよい。例えば、衝撃吸収体の形状に合わせた成形型内にビーズ状樹脂粒子を多数充填して加熱発泡させて成形する際に、係合部の位置に充填するビーズ状樹脂粒子の発泡剤の含浸量を衝撃吸収体本体部の位置に充填するビーズ状樹脂粒子の発泡剤の含浸量よりも少なくさせて成形すれば、係合部の発泡倍率が衝撃吸収体本体部の発泡倍率よりも小さくなり、係合部を衝撃吸収体本体部よりも高密度に形成することができる。衝撃吸収体の着脱の際に係合部には力が加わりやすいが、係合部の密度を衝撃吸収体本体部の密度よりも高くすることにより、衝撃吸収体全体としての耐久性が向上し、衝撃吸収体のリサイクル性がさらに向上する。   The engaging portion of the shock absorber may be formed at a higher density than the shock absorber main body (the portion of the shock absorber excluding the engaging portion). For example, when a molding die that matches the shape of the shock absorber is filled with a large number of bead-shaped resin particles and heated and foamed to form, the amount of impregnation of the foaming agent of the bead-shaped resin particles that fills the position of the engaging portion If the foaming agent impregnation amount is smaller than the amount of foaming agent impregnation of the bead-like resin particles that fills the position of the shock absorber body part, the foaming ratio of the engaging part becomes smaller than the foaming ratio of the shock absorber body part The engaging portion can be formed at a higher density than the shock absorber body portion. Although force is easily applied to the engaging part when attaching or detaching the shock absorber, the durability of the shock absorber as a whole is improved by making the density of the engaging part higher than the density of the main part of the shock absorber. Further, the recyclability of the shock absorber is further improved.

衝撃吸収体の係合部を衝撃吸収体本体部よりも高剛性に形成してもよい。上述した例のように、衝撃吸収体の形状に合わせた成形型内にビーズ状樹脂粒子を多数充填して加熱発泡させて成形する際に、係合部に充填するビーズ状樹脂粒子の発泡剤の含浸量を衝撃吸収体本体部に充填するビーズ状樹脂粒子の発泡剤の含浸量よりも少なくさせて成形すれば、係合部を衝撃吸収体本体部よりも高剛性に形成することができる。また、衝撃吸収体本体部よりも高剛性の材質(例えば無発泡の合成樹脂)で係合部材を予め形成しておき、成形型内で同係合部材を係合部の位置に配置し、衝撃吸収体本体部の位置にビーズ状樹脂粒子を充填して成形してもよい。係合部の剛性を衝撃吸収体本体部の剛性よりも高くすることにより、衝撃吸収体全体としての耐久性が向上し、衝撃吸収体のリサイクル性がさらに向上する。   The engaging portion of the shock absorber may be formed with higher rigidity than the shock absorber main body. As in the example described above, a foaming agent for the bead-shaped resin particles that fills the engaging portion when a large number of the bead-shaped resin particles are filled in a mold matched to the shape of the shock absorber and molded by heating and foaming. Can be formed with higher rigidity than the shock absorber body, if the bead-like resin particle filling amount in the shock absorber body is less than that of the foaming agent. . In addition, the engaging member is formed in advance with a material (for example, non-foamed synthetic resin) having higher rigidity than the shock absorber main body, and the engaging member is disposed at the position of the engaging portion in the mold. The impact absorber body portion may be filled with bead-like resin particles and molded. By making the rigidity of the engaging portion higher than that of the shock absorber body, the durability of the shock absorber as a whole is improved, and the recyclability of the shock absorber is further improved.

また、係合部を衝撃吸収体本体部と一体化せず、同本体部とは別体としてもよい。この場合、上述した実施形態および変形例で、衝撃吸収体を互いに別体の衝撃吸収体本体部および係合部に置き換えることが可能である。
図7は、係合部を衝撃吸収体本体部とは別体にした衝撃吸収体70を用いた衝撃吸収体の取付構造を分解して示す分解斜視図である。図8と図9は、図7のA2−A2断面にてフロアパネル60と衝撃吸収体本体部72とを断面視して衝撃吸収体を取り付ける様子を示す側面図である。衝撃吸収体70は、係合部75を有する係合部材74と、この係合部材74を貫通させて係止可能な係合部材貫通穴73を有する衝撃吸収体本体部72とを備えている。係合部材74は、係合部材貫通穴73とフロアパネルの貫通穴61の両方を貫通して衝撃吸収体本体部72に係止されながら係合部75にてフロアパネル60に対して着脱可能に係合する。
Further, the engaging portion may not be integrated with the shock absorber main body, but may be separated from the main body. In this case, in the above-described embodiment and modification, the shock absorber can be replaced with a separate shock absorber body and engagement portion.
FIG. 7 is an exploded perspective view showing an exploded mounting structure of the shock absorber using the shock absorber 70 in which the engaging portion is separated from the shock absorber main body. 8 and 9 are side views showing a state where the floor panel 60 and the shock absorber main body 72 are viewed in cross section along the A2-A2 cross section of FIG. 7 and the shock absorber is attached. The shock absorber 70 includes an engaging member 74 having an engaging portion 75 and a shock absorber main body 72 having an engaging member through-hole 73 that can be locked by penetrating the engaging member 74. . The engagement member 74 can be attached to and detached from the floor panel 60 at the engagement portion 75 while passing through both the engagement member through hole 73 and the through hole 61 of the floor panel and being locked to the shock absorber main body 72. Engage with.

衝撃吸収体本体部72は、例えば衝撃吸収体本体部の形状に合わせた成形型内に上述したビーズ状樹脂粒子を多数充填して加熱発泡させて成形することにより、形成することができる。係合部材も、例えば係合部材の形状に合わせた成形型内に上述したビーズ状樹脂粒子を多数充填して加熱発泡させて成形することにより、形成することができる。衝撃吸収体本体部72と係合部材74とをともに合成樹脂を発泡させた材質で形成すると、硬質の樹脂製クリップを用いた従来の衝撃吸収体と比べて係合部材貫通穴付近で衝撃吸収体本体部が局所的にエネルギー吸収量が低下することを防ぐことができる。特に、衝撃吸収体本体部72と係合部材74とをともに同じ材質で形成すると、より効果的に係合部材貫通穴付近で衝撃吸収体本体部が局所的にエネルギー吸収量が低下することを防ぐことができる。   The shock absorber main body 72 can be formed, for example, by filling a large number of the above-mentioned bead-shaped resin particles in a mold matched to the shape of the shock absorber main body and heating and foaming it. The engaging member can also be formed, for example, by filling a large number of the above-mentioned bead-shaped resin particles in a molding die that matches the shape of the engaging member, and then heating and foaming the molded resin. When both the shock absorber body 72 and the engaging member 74 are formed of a synthetic resin foamed material, the shock absorber is absorbed near the engaging member through-hole as compared with a conventional shock absorber using a hard resin clip. It can prevent that a body main-body part reduces energy absorption amount locally. In particular, if the shock absorber main body 72 and the engagement member 74 are both formed of the same material, the energy absorption amount of the shock absorber main body locally decreases near the engagement member through hole more effectively. Can be prevented.

フロアパネルの貫通穴61は、係合部75の挿入方向(下方向)に対する垂直断面(水平面)が楕円形状と非円形状に形成してある。係合部材の係合部75は、貫通穴73,61の両方を貫通して回転動作によりフロアパネル60に対して着脱可能に係合する形状に形成されている。
係合部材74は、係合部75と、係合部材貫通穴73のみ貫通可能な形状であって垂直断面(水平面)が円形の円柱形状に形成された係合部材本体部76と、この係合部材本体部76における挿入方向とは反対方向側(上側)の端部に設けられたフランジ部(操作部)77とを備えている。係合部75は、係合部材本体部76における挿入方向側の端部から挿入方向に突出するとともに貫通穴61の短径以下の外径とされた円柱状の連結部75aと、この連結部75aにおける挿入方向の端部に水平面が貫通穴61の楕円形状の長径以下の長径かつ短径以下の短径とされた楕円形状の楕円部75bとから構成されている。連結部75aの挿入方向の長さは、フロアパネル60の厚さと同じになるようにしてある。係合部材本体部76は、フロアパネルの貫通穴61側の端部に係合部75が設けられていることになる。フロアパネルの貫通穴91は、係合部75を挿通させることは可能であるが、係合部材本体部76を挿通させることはできない大きさとされている。フランジ部77は、係合部材本体部76より径方向外側とされた部分を有する短い円柱形状に形成され、挿入方向とは反対方向側の面(上面)に例えば楕円部75bの長径方向に向けた溝77aが形成されている。そして、マイナスドライバー等の所定の工具を溝77aに挿入して係合部材74を回転させる操作を行うことが可能である。
衝撃吸収体本体部72は、係合部材貫通穴73に係合部材74を挿入させたときにフランジ部77を収容して係止させる収容部72aを係合部材貫通穴73周りに備えている。係合部材貫通穴73における収容部72aよりも挿入方向側の部分は、係合部材本体部76を挿通させることは可能であるが、フランジ部77を挿通させることはできない大きさとされている。
In the through hole 61 of the floor panel, a vertical section (horizontal plane) with respect to the insertion direction (downward direction) of the engaging portion 75 is formed in an elliptical shape and a noncircular shape. The engaging portion 75 of the engaging member is formed in a shape that detachably engages with the floor panel 60 by rotating through both of the through holes 73 and 61.
The engagement member 74 includes an engagement portion 75, an engagement member main body portion 76 that has a shape that allows only the engagement member through-hole 73 to pass therethrough, and has a vertical cross section (horizontal plane) formed in a circular cylindrical shape. A flange portion (operation portion) 77 provided at an end portion (upper side) opposite to the insertion direction in the combined member main body portion 76 is provided. The engaging portion 75 includes a columnar connecting portion 75a that protrudes in the inserting direction from the end portion on the inserting direction side of the engaging member main body portion 76 and has an outer diameter equal to or smaller than the short diameter of the through hole 61, and the connecting portion. The horizontal plane is composed of an elliptical elliptical part 75b whose major axis is equal to or less than the major axis of the elliptical shape of the through hole 61 and whose minor axis is equal to or less than the minor axis. The length of the connecting portion 75a in the insertion direction is the same as the thickness of the floor panel 60. The engaging member main body 76 is provided with an engaging portion 75 at the end of the floor panel on the through hole 61 side. The through hole 91 of the floor panel has a size that allows the engaging portion 75 to be inserted, but does not allow the engaging member main body portion 76 to be inserted. The flange portion 77 is formed in a short cylindrical shape having a portion that is radially outward from the engaging member main body portion 76, and is directed, for example, in the major axis direction of the elliptical portion 75b on the surface (upper surface) opposite to the insertion direction. A groove 77a is formed. Then, it is possible to perform an operation of rotating the engaging member 74 by inserting a predetermined tool such as a flathead screwdriver into the groove 77a.
The shock absorber main body 72 includes an accommodating portion 72 a around the engaging member through-hole 73 for accommodating and locking the flange portion 77 when the engaging member 74 is inserted into the engaging member through-hole 73. . A portion of the engaging member through hole 73 closer to the insertion direction than the accommodating portion 72a can be inserted through the engaging member main body portion 76, but cannot be inserted through the flange portion 77.

以上の構成により、フロアカーペットの敷設前において、係合部材74は、係合部75が貫通穴73,61の両方を貫通するとともに係合部材本体部76が係合部材貫通穴73を貫通してフランジ部77が収容部72aに係止される。この状態を図9の上段に示している。そして、フランジ部77を約90°回す操作を行うと、図9の下段に示すように楕円部75bと係合部材本体部76とでフロアパネル60を挟持するので、係合部75がフロアパネル60に対して係合する。その後、フロアカーペットを敷設すると、衝撃吸収体70がフロアパネル60とフロアカーペットとの間に取付固定される。従って、係合部材を係合部材貫通穴と車体パネルの貫通穴に貫通させて回転させるという簡単な操作で、容易に衝撃吸収体を車体パネルと内装材との間に取り付けることができる。
また、衝撃吸収体をフロアパネルから取り外す時には、フロアカーペットを剥がし、フランジ部77を約90°回す操作を行ってフロアパネル60から係合部75の係止を解放させる。次に、衝撃吸収体本体部72を持って係合部材74を貫通穴61とは反対方向に引っぱる作業を行うと、貫通穴61から係合部75を引き抜くことができる。従って、係合部材を回転させて係合部75を貫通穴61から引き抜くという簡単な操作で、容易に衝撃吸収体を車体パネルと内装材との間から取り外すことができる。
With the above configuration, before the floor carpet is laid, the engaging member 74 has the engaging portion 75 passing through both the through holes 73 and 61 and the engaging member main body portion 76 passing through the engaging member through hole 73. The flange portion 77 is locked to the accommodating portion 72a. This state is shown in the upper part of FIG. When the operation of turning the flange portion 77 by about 90 ° is performed, the floor panel 60 is sandwiched between the oval portion 75b and the engagement member main body portion 76 as shown in the lower part of FIG. 60 is engaged. Thereafter, when the floor carpet is laid, the shock absorber 70 is attached and fixed between the floor panel 60 and the floor carpet. Therefore, the shock absorber can be easily attached between the vehicle body panel and the interior material by a simple operation of rotating the engagement member through the engagement member through hole and the through hole of the vehicle body panel.
When removing the shock absorber from the floor panel, the floor carpet is peeled off, and the operation of turning the flange portion 77 by about 90 ° is performed to release the engagement portion 75 from the floor panel 60. Next, when the work of pulling the engaging member 74 in the direction opposite to the through hole 61 with the shock absorber main body 72 is performed, the engaging portion 75 can be pulled out from the through hole 61. Therefore, the shock absorber can be easily removed from between the vehicle body panel and the interior material by a simple operation of rotating the engagement member and pulling out the engagement portion 75 from the through hole 61.

以上説明したように、係合部材を係合部材貫通穴と車体パネルの貫通穴に貫通させて回転させ、また、係合部材を回転させて車体パネルの貫通穴から係合部を引き抜くという簡単な操作で、衝撃吸収体を着脱させることが可能となる。また、係合部材が変形することなく車体パネルに係止されるので、衝撃吸収体の着脱の際に係合部材の破損が防止され、係合部材の耐久性を向上させて衝撃吸収体のリサイクル性を向上させることができる。   As described above, it is easy to rotate the engaging member through the engaging member through hole and the through hole of the vehicle body panel, and rotate the engaging member to pull out the engaging portion from the through hole of the vehicle body panel. The shock absorber can be attached and detached with a simple operation. In addition, since the engaging member is locked to the vehicle body panel without being deformed, the engaging member is prevented from being damaged when the shock absorbing member is attached or detached, and the durability of the engaging member is improved to improve the durability of the shock absorbing member. Recyclability can be improved.

むろん、インナーパネルやアウターパネルに上記非円形状の貫通穴を形成してもよい。内装材に上記非円形状の貫通穴を形成してもよく、内装材基材や表皮材に上記非円形状の貫通穴を形成してもよい。車体パネルや内装材に係止部材を取り付け、この係止部材に上記非円形状の貫通穴を形成してもよい。なお、係合部材は上述した形状に限定されない。例えば、係合部および貫通穴は、係合部の挿入方向に対する垂直断面が正方形、長方形等の多角形等でもよい。
係合部材を衝撃吸収体本体部よりも高密度に形成してもよい。例えば、係合部材の形状に合わせた成形型内にビーズ状樹脂粒子を多数充填して加熱発泡させて成形する際に、充填するビーズ状樹脂粒子の発泡剤の含浸量を衝撃吸収体本体部の成形に用いるビーズ状樹脂粒子の発泡剤の含浸量よりも少なくさせて成形すればよい。すると、衝撃吸収体全体としての耐久性が向上し、衝撃吸収体のリサイクル性がさらに向上する。
係合部材を衝撃吸収体本体部よりも高剛性に形成してもよい。例えば、係合部材の形状に合わせた成形型内にビーズ状樹脂粒子を多数充填して加熱発泡させて成形する際に、充填するビーズ状樹脂粒子の発泡剤の含浸量を衝撃吸収体本体部の成形に用いるビーズ状樹脂粒子の発泡剤の含浸量よりも少なくさせて成形すればよい。また、無発泡の合成樹脂で係合部材を形成してもよい。すると、衝撃吸収体全体としての耐久性が向上し、衝撃吸収体のリサイクル性がさらに向上する。
Of course, the non-circular through hole may be formed in the inner panel or the outer panel. The non-circular through hole may be formed in the interior material, and the non-circular through hole may be formed in the interior material base material or the skin material. A locking member may be attached to the vehicle body panel or the interior material, and the non-circular through hole may be formed in the locking member. The engaging member is not limited to the shape described above. For example, the engaging portion and the through hole may have a square cross section perpendicular to the insertion direction of the engaging portion such as a polygon such as a square or a rectangle.
The engaging member may be formed at a higher density than the shock absorber main body. For example, when a molding die that matches the shape of the engaging member is filled with a large number of bead-shaped resin particles and molded by heating and foaming, the amount of impregnation of the foaming agent of the bead-shaped resin particles to be filled is determined as the impact absorber body What is necessary is just to shape | mold by making it less than the impregnation amount of the foaming agent of the bead-like resin particle used for the shaping | molding of this. Then, the durability of the entire shock absorber is improved, and the recyclability of the shock absorber is further improved.
The engaging member may be formed with higher rigidity than the shock absorber main body. For example, when a molding die that matches the shape of the engaging member is filled with a large number of bead-shaped resin particles and molded by heating and foaming, the amount of impregnation of the foaming agent of the bead-shaped resin particles to be filled is determined as the impact absorber body The bead-shaped resin particles used for molding may be molded with a smaller amount than the amount of impregnation of the foaming agent. Further, the engaging member may be formed of a non-foamed synthetic resin. Then, the durability of the entire shock absorber is improved, and the recyclability of the shock absorber is further improved.

また、図10と図11に示す衝撃吸収体の取付構造としてもよい。図10は衝撃吸収体の取付構造を分解して示す分解斜視図であり、図11は、図10のA3−A3断面にてアウターパネル81とインナーパネル82と衝撃吸収体本体部92とを断面視して衝撃吸収体90を取り付ける様子を示す側面図である。本変形例の車体パネルは、少なくとも、アウターパネル81と、当該アウターパネルよりも車室側に設けられたインナーパネル82と、から構成されている。衝撃吸収体90は、係合部95を有する係合部材94と、この係合部材94を貫通させて係止可能な係合部材貫通穴93を有する衝撃吸収体本体部92とを備えている。係合部材94は、係合部材貫通穴93とインナーパネル82の貫通穴83の両方を貫通して衝撃吸収体本体部92に係止されながら係合部95にてインナーパネル82に対して着脱可能に係合する。   Moreover, it is good also as an attachment structure of the shock absorber shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 10 is an exploded perspective view showing the shock absorber mounting structure in an exploded manner, and FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view of the outer panel 81, the inner panel 82, and the shock absorber main body 92 taken along the A3-A3 cross section of FIG. It is a side view which shows a mode that the impact absorber 90 is attached visually. The vehicle body panel according to the present modification includes at least an outer panel 81 and an inner panel 82 provided closer to the passenger compartment than the outer panel. The shock absorber 90 includes an engaging member 94 having an engaging portion 95 and a shock absorber main body 92 having an engaging member through-hole 93 that can be locked by penetrating the engaging member 94. . The engaging member 94 passes through both the engaging member through hole 93 and the through hole 83 of the inner panel 82 and is locked to the shock absorber main body 92 while being attached to and detached from the inner panel 82 at the engaging portion 95.

Yes. The engagement member 94 is formed in a columnar shape having a circular shape with a constant vertical cross section in accordance with the circular shape of the vertical cross section of both the through holes 83 and 93. An engaging portion 95 that penetrates the through hole 83 and is detachably engaged with the inner panel is formed on a side surface of the cylindrical engaging member 94.

以上の構成により、フロアカーペットの敷設前に、図11の上段に示すように係合部材94を貫通穴93,83の両方に挿入させる作業を行うと、係合部材94は貫通穴93,83の両方を貫通して挿入方向の端部がアウターパネル81に当接する(図11の下段)。この状態で係合部95はインナーパネル82に対して係合している。その後、フロアカーペットを敷設すると、衝撃吸収体90がインナーパネルとフロアカーペットとの間に取付固定される。ここで、係合部材94がアウターパネル81に突き当たってインナーパネル82に係合するので、取付時の衝撃吸収体を確実に固定させることが可能となる。
また、衝撃吸収体をフロアパネルから取り外す時には、フロアカーペットを剥がし、衝撃吸収体本体部92を持って係合部材94の挿入方向とは反対方向に引っぱる作業を行うと、貫通穴83または係合部材貫通穴93から係合部材94が引き抜かれる。
With the above configuration, when the engaging member 94 is inserted into both the through holes 93 and 83 as shown in the upper part of FIG. 11 before laying the floor carpet, the engaging member 94 is inserted into the through holes 93 and 83. The end in the insertion direction is in contact with the outer panel 81 (lower stage in FIG. 11). In this state, the engaging portion 95 is engaged with the inner panel 82. Thereafter, when the floor carpet is laid, the shock absorber 90 is attached and fixed between the inner panel and the floor carpet. Here, since the engaging member 94 abuts against the outer panel 81 and engages with the inner panel 82, it is possible to securely fix the shock absorber during attachment.
Further, when removing the shock absorber from the floor panel, the floor carpet is peeled off, and when the work of pulling the shock absorber main body 92 in the direction opposite to the insertion direction of the engagement member 94 is performed, the through hole 83 or the engagement is performed. The engaging member 94 is pulled out from the member through hole 93.

以上説明したように、係合部材を係合部材貫通穴と車体パネルの貫通穴に貫通させるだけいう簡単な操作で、衝撃吸収体を着脱させることが可能となる。また、係合部材が変形することなく車体パネルに係止されるので、衝撃吸収体の着脱の際に係合部材の破損が防止され、係合部材の耐久性を向上させて衝撃吸収体のリサイクル性を向上させることができる。

As described above, it is possible to attach and detach the shock absorber with a simple operation of simply passing the engaging member through the engaging member through hole and the through hole of the vehicle body panel. In addition, since the engaging member is locked to the vehicle body panel without being deformed, the engaging member is prevented from being damaged when the shock absorbing member is attached or detached, and the durability of the engaging member is improved to improve the durability of the shock absorbing member. Recyclability can be improved.
The engaging member is not limited to the shape described above. For example, the engaging member, the engaging member through hole, and the through hole of the inner panel may have a polygonal shape such as a square or a rectangle in a cross section perpendicular to the insertion direction of the engaging member.
