Description

本発明は、車体後部構造に関し、特に車体下部左右両側に沿って前後方向に延在するサイドフレームおよび補剛部材を備えた車体後部構造に関する。   The present invention relates to a vehicle body rear structure, and more particularly to a vehicle body rear structure including a side frame and a stiffening member that extend in the front-rear direction along the left and right sides of the lower portion of the vehicle body.

従来、自動車等の車両の車体後部には、フロアパネルの両側部に沿って前後方向に延在する左右のサイドフレームが設けられ、この左右のサイドフレーム間にクロスメンバが架け渡されるとともにサイドフレームの後端部がリヤスカートに連結される。左右のサイドフレームに後輪用のサスペンションが連結される。   Conventionally, left and right side frames extending in the front-rear direction along both sides of a floor panel are provided at the rear of a vehicle body such as an automobile, and a cross member is bridged between the left and right side frames. Is connected to the rear skirt. Rear wheel suspensions are connected to the left and right side frames.

このような車体構造においては、車両の走行等に伴いサスペンションからサイドフレームに繰り返し衝撃荷重が入力される。この繰り返し入力されるサスペンション荷重により車体後部に振動が発生する。この車体後部の振動を抑制する対策として左右のサイドフレームの曲げ剛性、特に上下方向の曲げ剛性を確保することが有効であることが知られている。しかし、車体重量の増加や車体構造上サイドフレームの縦断面形状を確保することが困難な場合が多い。   In such a vehicle body structure, an impact load is repeatedly input from the suspension to the side frame as the vehicle travels. Vibration is generated at the rear of the vehicle body due to the suspension load that is repeatedly input. It is known that it is effective to secure the bending rigidity of the left and right side frames, particularly the bending rigidity in the vertical direction, as a measure for suppressing the vibration of the rear part of the vehicle body. However, it is often difficult to increase the weight of the vehicle body and to ensure the vertical cross-sectional shape of the side frame due to the vehicle body structure.

一方、サイドフレームのサスペンションを取付ける部位にはサスペンションから繰り返し入力される荷重を支持するための剛性が必要である一方、サイドフレームには後面衝突等の衝撃荷重を軸圧壊により吸収する脆弱部が要求される。   On the other hand, the part where the side frame suspension is to be mounted requires rigidity to support the load repeatedly input from the suspension, while the side frame requires a weak part that absorbs impact loads such as rear impact by axial crushing. Is done.

そのため、特許文献1に開示されるように、従来からサイドフレーム全体を、脆弱部を基準とする薄い板厚で形成し、剛性を必要とする各部位に補剛部材を個別に配置することで、サイドフレームに脆弱部と剛性部とを設定している。   Therefore, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, conventionally, the entire side frame is formed with a thin plate thickness based on the fragile portion, and a stiffening member is individually arranged at each part requiring rigidity. The fragile part and the rigid part are set in the side frame.

また、同特許文献1に開示されるように、サイドフレームを、前部フレームと後部フレームとに分割し、前部フレームの板厚を後部フレームに対して厚く設定することで前部フレームにてサスペンションからの荷重および後面衝突時の衝撃荷重を支持し、薄板の後部フレームによって後面衝突時の衝撃荷重で軸圧壊する脆弱なクラッシュゾーンを設定することが知られている。   Further, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, the side frame is divided into a front frame and a rear frame, and the thickness of the front frame is set to be thicker than that of the rear frame. It is known to set a fragile crash zone that supports the load from the suspension and the impact load at the time of rear collision, and the shaft collapses by the impact load at the time of rear collision by the rear frame of the thin plate.

しかし、サイドフレーム全体を薄い板厚で形成し、剛性を必要とする部位に対応して補剛部材を配置するには、車体構造やサイドフレームの形状等によって補剛部材の取付部位および補剛部材の形状や大きさ等が制限され、所望の剛性効果が得られないことがある。   However, in order to form the entire side frame with a thin plate thickness and arrange the stiffening member corresponding to the part that requires rigidity, the attachment part of the stiffening member and the stiffening are determined depending on the vehicle body structure and the shape of the side frame. The shape and size of the member are limited, and a desired rigidity effect may not be obtained.

また、配設した補剛部材の質量増加の割にサイドフレームの剛性向上効果が得られないことが懸念される。   Moreover, there is a concern that the effect of improving the rigidity of the side frame cannot be obtained for the increase in the mass of the disposed stiffening member.

一方、サイドフレームを、板厚の異なる前部フレームと後部フレームとに分割して構成する際には、前部フレームと後部フレームとの結合等のサイドフレームの形状および構造が複雑になり、かつ厚板の前部フレームによる重量増加が懸念される。   On the other hand, when the side frame is divided into a front frame and a rear frame having different thicknesses, the shape and structure of the side frame such as the coupling of the front frame and the rear frame becomes complicated, and There is concern about weight increase due to the front frame of the plank.

従って、かかる点に鑑みてなされた本発明の目的は、簡単な構成でサスペンション荷重入力によるサイドフレームの曲げが抑制され、かつ車体振動が軽減できる車体後部構造を提供することにある。   Accordingly, an object of the present invention made in view of such a point is to provide a vehicle body rear structure that can suppress bending of a side frame due to suspension load input and reduce vehicle body vibration with a simple configuration.

例えば、車両走行等により、サスペンションから車体部材に衝撃荷重が入力される。特に後輪の上下動を支持する緩衝装置41から上下方向の衝撃荷重がサイドフレーム10に入力され、サスペンション荷重入力点Pとなるサイドフレーム10の後部10Cの前端近傍が相対的に上下する曲げが繰り返される。   For example, an impact load is input from the suspension to the vehicle body member by traveling the vehicle or the like. In particular, an impact load in the vertical direction is input to the side frame 10 from the shock absorber 41 that supports the vertical movement of the rear wheel, and the bending in which the vicinity of the front end of the rear portion 10C of the side frame 10 serving as the suspension load input point P is relatively up and down is performed. Repeated.

ここで、サスペンション荷重入力点Pとなるサイドフレーム10の後部10Cの前端近傍が相対的に上昇して中間部固定位置Cが前部固定位置Fおよび後部固定位置Rの対し相対的に上昇するような上方への曲げ変形が発生した際には、その初期段階において、補剛部材20の取付基部21Aが取付固定されるアッパクロスメンバ16の上面19、詳細には中間部固定位置Cが前部取付部24が取り付けられる傾斜部10Bの前部固定位置Fおよび後部取付部27が取り付けられる後部10Cの後部固定位置Rに対し相対的に微少量上方移動する。   Here, the vicinity of the front end of the rear portion 10C of the side frame 10 serving as the suspension load input point P is relatively raised so that the intermediate portion fixing position C is relatively raised with respect to the front portion fixing position F and the rear portion fixing position R. When an upward bending deformation occurs, the upper surface 19 of the upper cross member 16 to which the attachment base portion 21A of the stiffening member 20 is attached and fixed, in detail, the intermediate portion fixing position C is the front portion. The front portion fixing position F of the inclined portion 10B to which the attaching portion 24 is attached and the rear portion fixing position R to which the rear portion attaching portion 27 is attached are moved relatively slightly upward.

この中間部固定位置Cの相対的な上昇により中間部固定位置Cと部固定位置Rとの間が微少量離反して取付基部21Aと前側取付部24との間の前側連結部本体23には引張り荷重が付与され、その反力となる前側連結部本体23の軸力Aによって中間部固定位置Cと前部固定位置Fの離反を拘束する。一方、中間部固定位置Cの相対的な上昇により中間部固定位置Cと後部固定位置Rとが互いに離反して後側連結部本体26には引張荷重が付与され、その反力となる後側連結部本体26の軸力Aによって中間部固定位置Cと後部固定位置Rの離反を拘束してサイドフレーム10の曲がりを抑制する。 The relative increase in the intermediate portion fixed position C to the front connecting portion body 23 between the mounting base 21A and the front mounting portion 24 while is moved away small amount of the intermediate portion fixed position C and the rear portion fixed positions R A tensile load is applied and the separation between the intermediate portion fixing position C and the front portion fixing position F is constrained by the axial force A of the front side connecting portion main body 23 serving as a reaction force. On the other hand, the intermediate portion fixing position C and the rear portion fixing position R are separated from each other by the relative rise of the intermediate portion fixing position C, and a tensile load is applied to the rear connecting portion main body 26. The axial force A of the connecting portion main body 26 restrains the separation of the intermediate portion fixing position C and the rear portion fixing position R to suppress the bending of the side frame 10.

このとき、アッパクロスメンバ16の上面19上に結合される中間部21から前側および後側に対向して連結される前側連結部22と後側連結部25には、それぞれ引張方向の軸力が作用し、中間部21に作用する前側連結部22の軸力と後側連結部25の軸力が均衡して補剛部材20が安定した状態に保持される。更に、前側連結部22が傾斜部10Bにおける内側縦壁11に沿って延在しかつフランジ11aを介して内側縦壁11に結合することで上下方向の曲げ剛性に優れた内側縦壁11の剪断応力により前側連結部22の軸力が効率的に作用し、かつ同様に後側連結部25が後部10Cのおける内側縦壁11に沿って延在しかつフランジ11aを介して内側縦壁11に結合することで内側縦壁11の剪断応力により後側連結部25の軸力が効率的に作用してサイドフレーム10の曲げ変形が確実に抑制できる。   At this time, the axial force in the tensile direction is applied to each of the front side connecting portion 22 and the rear side connecting portion 25 connected to face the front side and the rear side from the intermediate portion 21 connected to the upper surface 19 of the upper cross member 16. The axial force of the front connecting part 22 acting on the intermediate part 21 and the axial force of the rear connecting part 25 are balanced and the stiffening member 20 is held in a stable state. Further, the front side connecting portion 22 extends along the inner vertical wall 11 in the inclined portion 10B and is coupled to the inner vertical wall 11 via the flange 11a, whereby the shearing of the inner vertical wall 11 having excellent bending rigidity in the vertical direction is achieved. The axial force of the front side connecting portion 22 acts efficiently by the stress, and similarly, the rear side connecting portion 25 extends along the inner vertical wall 11 in the rear portion 10C and is applied to the inner vertical wall 11 via the flange 11a. By joining, the axial force of the rear side connection part 25 acts efficiently by the shear stress of the inner vertical wall 11, and the bending deformation of the side frame 10 can be reliably suppressed.

さらに、アッパクロスメンバ16の上面に結合される中間部21の基部縦壁部21Bが、サイドフレーム10の内側縦壁11と車幅方向において一致或いは略一致することで、補剛部材20には基部縦壁部21Bから前側連結部22の内側縦壁部23B及び後側連結部25の内側縦壁部26Bに亘る広範囲にサイドフレーム10の曲げ方向に対する優れた抗力が確保できる縦壁が形成され、補剛部材20の曲げ変形が確実に抑制されて補剛部材20の軸力が効率的にサイドフレーム10に作用してサイドフレーム10の曲げ変形がより確実に抑制できる。   Furthermore, the base vertical wall portion 21B of the intermediate portion 21 coupled to the upper surface of the upper cross member 16 matches or substantially matches the inner vertical wall 11 of the side frame 10 in the vehicle width direction, so that the stiffening member 20 has A vertical wall that can ensure excellent resistance to the bending direction of the side frame 10 is formed over a wide range from the base vertical wall portion 21B to the inner vertical wall portion 23B of the front connection portion 22 and the inner vertical wall portion 26B of the rear connection portion 25. The bending deformation of the stiffening member 20 is reliably suppressed, and the axial force of the stiffening member 20 efficiently acts on the side frame 10 so that the bending deformation of the side frame 10 can be more reliably suppressed.

一方、サイドフレーム10に、サイドフレーム10の傾斜部10Bの後端近傍乃至後部10Cの前端近傍が相対的に下降するような曲げ変形が発生する際には、その初期段階において、補剛部材20の取付基部21Aが取付固定されるアッパクロスメンバ16の上面19、詳細には中間部固定位置Cが、前部取付部24が取り付けられる傾斜部10Bの前部固定位置Fおよび後部取付部27が取り付けられる後部10Cの後部固定位置Rに対し相対的に微少量下降する。この中間部固定位置Cの相対的な下降により中間部固定位置Cと前部固定位置Fとが微少量接近して取付基部21Aと前部取付部24との間の前側連結部本体23には圧縮荷重が付与され、その反力となる前側連結部22の軸力Aによって中間部固定位置Cと前部固定位置Fの接近が拘束されて前部取付部24が固定される傾斜部10Bの後端近傍と取付基部21Aが固定されるアッパクロスメンバ16の補剛部材取付部19Aとの間の相対的な接近を拘束して、同様に、中間部固定位置Cと後部固定位置Rとが微少量離反して取付基部21Aと後側取付部27との間の後側連結部本体26には引張荷重が付与され、その反力となる後側連結部25の軸力Aによって中間部固定位置Cと後部固定位置Rの接近を拘束してサイドフレーム10の曲がりを抑制する。   On the other hand, when bending deformation occurs in the side frame 10 such that the vicinity of the rear end of the inclined portion 10B of the side frame 10 to the vicinity of the front end of the rear portion 10C is relatively lowered, the stiffening member 20 is in its initial stage. The upper surface 19 of the upper cross member 16 to which the mounting base portion 21A is mounted and fixed, specifically the intermediate portion fixing position C, the front fixing position F and the rear mounting portion 27 of the inclined portion 10B to which the front mounting portion 24 is mounted. The attached rear part 10C is slightly lowered relative to the rear fixing position R. Due to the relative lowering of the intermediate portion fixing position C, the intermediate portion fixing position C and the front portion fixing position F approach each other by a small amount so that the front side connecting portion main body 23 between the attachment base portion 21A and the front portion attachment portion 24 has The inclined portion 10B to which the front mounting portion 24 is fixed by restraining the approach between the intermediate portion fixing position C and the front portion fixing position F by the axial force A of the front side connecting portion 22 that is applied with a compressive load and becomes the reaction force. By restricting the relative approach between the vicinity of the rear end and the stiffening member mounting portion 19A of the upper cross member 16 to which the mounting base portion 21A is fixed, similarly, the intermediate portion fixing position C and the rear portion fixing position R are A slight load is applied to the rear connecting portion main body 26 between the mounting base portion 21A and the rear mounting portion 27 so that a tensile load is applied, and the intermediate portion is fixed by the axial force A of the rear connecting portion 25 which is the reaction force. The side frame 10 is restrained from approaching the position C and the rear fixing position R. To suppress the rising.

これに車両走行による切り返す入力されるサスペンション荷重Pによるサイドフレーム10の上下方向の曲げが、補剛部材20の軸力によって抑制され、サイドフレーム10の上下曲げの減少に伴って、車体後部の振動が軽減される。   In addition, the vertical bending of the side frame 10 due to the input suspension load P turned back by the vehicle running is suppressed by the axial force of the stiffening member 20, and the vibration of the rear part of the vehicle body is reduced as the vertical bending of the side frame 10 decreases. Is reduced.

なお、本発明は上記実施の形態に限定されることなく、発明の趣旨を逸脱しない範囲で種々変形可能である。例えば、上記実施の形態では補剛部材20をサイドフレーム10の内側縦壁11に沿って延在し、フランジ11aに結合したが補剛部材20を外側縦壁12に沿って延在させ、フランジ12aに結合することもできる。

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. For example, in the above embodiment , the stiffening member 20 extends along the inner vertical wall 11 of the side frame 10 and is connected to the flange 11a, but the stiffening member 20 extends along the outer vertical wall 12, It can also be coupled to the flange 12a.

また、中間部21をアッパクロスメンバ16を介在してサイドフレーム10に結合したが、他の車体部材を介してサイドフレームに結合することも、また直接的にサイドフレームに結合することもできる。   Moreover, although the intermediate part 21 was couple | bonded with the side frame 10 via the upper cross member 16, it can couple | bond with a side frame via another vehicle body member, or can couple | bond with a side frame directly.

更に上記実施の形態では補剛部材20を、中間部21と、前側連結部22と、後側連結部25とを一体に形成したが、分割して構成することもできる。すなわち、中間部が一体形成された前側連結部と、中間部が一体形成された後側連結部とによる2つの部材により構成することもできる。   Furthermore, although the stiffening member 20 is integrally formed with the intermediate portion 21, the front side connecting portion 22, and the rear side connecting portion 25 in the above-described embodiment, it can also be divided. That is, it can also be configured by two members including a front side connecting part integrally formed with the intermediate part and a rear side connecting part integrally formed with the intermediate part.
