Abstract

PURPOSE:To use a heater for a long period of time without the heater getting dirty or a melting section being mixed with foreign matters by melting a bonding face without the heater contacting the faces of bumper beam and bumper face. CONSTITUTION:When the primary clamper 22 is lowered to hold the half body 5 of a beam 2 and the primary clamper 22 rises to raise the half body 5, a travelling material 30 is moved to left and positioned between the half bodies 5 and 6. The half body 5 and the heaters 33,... are lowered and the heaters 33,... are positioned between the plane 5a, 5b and 5c of the half body 5 and the planes 6a, 6b and 6c of half body 6 respectively. The planes 5a, 5b, 5c, 6a, 6b and 6c of half bodies 5 and 6 are melted by heat rays issued from the heater 33. Then, the half body 5 and the heater 33 are raised, and the travelling material 30 is moved to right to lower the half body 5 in order to press the melting planes 5a, 5b and 5c of half body 5 against the melting planes 6a, 6b and 6c of half body 6, and the half bodies 5 and 6 are integrally welded to form up the beam 2.

Description

【発明の詳細な説明】 (産業上の利用分野) 本発明は車両用バンパーの製造方法に関する。[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a vehicle bumper.

Conventional child actors for joining bumper faces and bumper beams made of thermoplastic resin have not only joined them with adhesive or mechanical means such as screws, but also melted the joint surfaces of the two with a heater. However, it is known that the fused portions are brought together and crimped.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The joining method using the heater described above involves bringing the panel heater into contact with the joining surfaces of the bumper face and bumper beam,
Since the contact part is melted, there are disadvantages such as molten resin adhering to the panel heater and causing dirt or smoke, or foreign matter such as carbide getting mixed into the molten part, reducing adhesive strength.

In order to solve this problem, coating the surface of the panel heater with Teflon may be considered, but Teflon easily peels off and therefore the panel heater must be replaced periodically.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, the present invention uses a heater to connect the joint surfaces of a bumper face and a bumper beam, which are separately molded from thermoplastic resin, without contact, that is, to separate the heater from the joint surface. In this state, they were heated and melted, and then their molten surfaces were brought together and pressed together.

(Function) The heater is positioned at a predetermined distance from the joint surface of the bumper face and bumper beam. Then, each joint surface is melted by heat rays such as infrared rays from the heater. By pressing this molten surface and cooling it, the bumper face and bumper beam are welded and integrated.
