Technical Field

The present invention relates to a pillar structure for a vehicle.

Background

As a pillar structure disposed on a side portion or the like of a vehicle, the following structure is known: a filler such as foamed polyurethane is filled in the column main body having a closed cross section continuous in the longitudinal direction (see, for example, patent document 1).

In the pillar structure described in patent document 1, a filling hole for a filler is provided in a pillar inner panel constituting a pillar main body, and the filler is filled into the pillar main body through the filling hole. In addition, a restriction member for restricting the flow of the filler in the column body in the longitudinal direction is provided inside the column body.

Further, as a pillar structure of a vehicle, there is known a structure including: a drain pipe extending in the longitudinal direction of the column body is disposed inside the column body (see, for example, patent document 2).

In a column structure in which a filler is filled in a column body, a long penetrating member such as a drain pipe is disposed in the column body.

However, the long penetrating member such as a drain pipe may obstruct the flow of the filler flowing from the filling hole in the column body. Therefore, when the long penetrating member is disposed inside the column main body, it is considered that there is a possibility that the filling state of the filler with respect to the column main body becomes unstable.

Disclosure of Invention

Problems to be solved by the invention

The problem to be solved by the present invention is to arrange a penetrating member inside a column body so as not to hinder filling of a filling material from a filling hole.

Means for solving the problems

The pillar structure for a vehicle according to the present invention includes: a strut body having a closed cross section continuous in a longitudinal direction; a spacer attached to the inside of the column main body so as to extend in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the column main body, the spacer partitioning the inside of the column main body into a plurality of space portions in the longitudinal direction; and a penetrating member extending substantially in a longitudinal direction of the column main body and disposed inside the column main body so as to span the plurality of space portions, wherein a filling hole for filling a filling material into any one of the space portions inside is provided in a side wall of the column main body, and the spacer is provided with a guide portion for guiding the penetrating member to a position not closing the filling hole.

According to the above configuration, the penetrating member disposed inside the column main body is guided by the guide portion of the spacer to a position not to close the filling hole. Therefore, when the filler is filled from the filling hole in a state where the penetrating member is disposed inside the column main body, the filler is filled into the space of the column main body without obstructing the flow by the penetrating member. In the above configuration, the partition is provided with a guide portion instead of a dedicated guide member for guiding the penetrating member. Therefore, the number of components can be reduced.

The pillar main body may include a pillar outer panel and a pillar inner panel that form the closed cross section, the filling hole may be provided in the pillar inner panel, and the spacer may be attached to the pillar inner panel.

In this case, the rigidity of the pillar inner panel is likely to be lowered by the filling hole, but the lowering of the rigidity of the pillar inner panel due to the filling hole is compensated for by attaching the spacer to the pillar inner panel.

The separator may include: at least two joining walls joined to a position on the pillar inner panel that is on the outer side in the width direction with respect to the center of the filling hole and a position on the inner side in the width direction; and a coupling wall extending in a direction intersecting with a longitudinal direction of the pillar body and coupling the engagement walls to each other, wherein the guide portion is provided on the coupling wall.

In this case, the joining walls are joined to the outer side and the inner side in the width direction of the center of the filling hole of the pillar inner panel, respectively, and the joining walls are connected to each other by the connecting wall, so that the rigidity of the peripheral region of the filling hole of the pillar inner panel can be efficiently increased by the spacer. In this case, since the guide portion is disposed on the side of the spacer away from the pillar inner panel, the penetration member can be further prevented from obstructing the flow of the filler when the filler is filled from the filling hole.

The pillar main body may further include a pillar reinforcement extending in a longitudinal direction so as to divide a closed cross section of the pillar main body between the pillar outer panel and the pillar inner panel, the pillar reinforcement may be provided with an introduction hole for introducing a filler flowing from the filling hole into the closed cross section between the pillar inner panel and the pillar reinforcement, to the closed cross section between the pillar reinforcement and the pillar outer panel, and the guide portion may guide the penetrating member to a position not closing the introduction hole.

In this case, the guide portion of the spacer can prevent the introduction hole on the strut reinforcement side from being closed by the penetrating member. Therefore, even in the case of this structure, the filler can be smoothly filled into the closed cross section between the pillar reinforcement and the pillar outer panel.

The introduction hole may be disposed above the filling hole, and the guide portion may guide the penetrating member so that the penetrating member is located below an upper end region of an introduction path of the filler linearly connecting the filling hole and the introduction hole.

In this case, even if the penetrating member hangs down due to its own weight, the penetrating member does not cut the introduction path of the filler from the filling hole to the introduction hole to a large extent. In addition, the filler flowing in from the filling hole may be slightly inclined downward in the middle of the introduction hole, but in this case, the filler comes into contact with the upper portion of the penetration member to change the direction to the direction of the introduction hole again. Therefore, when this structure is adopted, the filler can be smoothly flowed in the direction of the inlet hole.

A guide member that guides the penetrating member may be provided inside the column main body at a position on a front side of the spacer in a penetrating direction of the penetrating member, and the guide member may include: a first guide surface that guides the penetrating member in a direction away from a lower inner surface of the pillar main body; and a second guide surface that guides the penetrating member separated by the first guide surface to a lower inner surface side of the stay main body.

In this case, the penetrating member is once separated from the lower inner surface of the pillar body by the guide member at a position closer to the penetrating direction front side than the partitioning member, and then changes its orientation again toward the lower inner surface side of the pillar body. Therefore, the penetrating member can be easily disposed below the upper end region of the filler introduction path linearly connecting the filling hole and the introduction hole at the position where the spacer is disposed.

The spacer may be inclined in a direction away from the pillar inner panel toward a direction in which the penetrating member penetrates.

In this case, since the spacer is inclined so as to extend along the penetrating direction of the penetrating member, the penetrating member is less likely to be locked by the spacer when the penetrating member is disposed to penetrate the inside of the column main body. Therefore, when this structure is adopted, the penetrating member can be easily disposed inside the column main body.

Effects of the invention

In the pillar structure for a vehicle according to the present invention, the spacer attached to the inside of the pillar body is provided with a guide portion for guiding the penetrating member to a position not closing the filling hole. Therefore, the penetrating member can be disposed inside the column main body so as not to impair filling of the filling material from the filling hole.

Detailed Description

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, front-back, up-down, left-right, and vehicle front-back, up-down, and left-right are illustrated unless otherwise specified. In the drawings, arrow FR indicates the front of the vehicle, arrow UP indicates the upper side of the vehicle, and arrow LH indicates the left side of the vehicle.

Fig. 1 is a front view of a vehicle 1 using a pillar structure according to the present embodiment, as viewed from diagonally above and to the left.

Front pillars 10 extending obliquely upward from lower ends of side portions of the windshield glass 5 toward the roof portion 2 are provided on both left and right sides of a cabin front portion of the vehicle 1. The pillar structure of the present embodiment is used for the front pillar 10. However, the pillar structure of the present embodiment can be used for rear pillars, middle pillars, and the like other than the front pillars 10.

Fig. 2 is a view of the front pillar 10 as viewed from the vehicle cabin interior side. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the front pillars 10 when the front pillars 10 are formed in section along the line III-III of fig. 2, and fig. 4 is a sectional view of the front pillars 10 along the line IV-IV of fig. 2.

As shown in fig. 3 and 4, in the front pillar 10, a pillar outer panel 11 and a pillar inner panel 12, which are metal plates, are joined to each other, thereby constituting a main part of a pillar main body 13 having a closed cross section continuous in the longitudinal direction. The pillar outer panel 11 and the pillar inner panel 12 have joint flanges 11f, 12f at upper and lower ends, respectively. The pillar outer panel 11 and the pillar inner panel 12 are integrated by joining the joining flanges 11f, 12f to each other. A metal pillar reinforcement 14 extending in the longitudinal direction is interposed between the pillar outer panel 11 and the pillar inner panel 12 so as to divide the closed cross section of the pillar body 13 into two parts. The pillar reinforcement 14 is welded and fixed to the pillar outer panel 11 and the pillar inner panel 12 in a state of being sandwiched between the joining flanges 11f, 12 f.

Fig. 5 is a view when the pillar outer panel 11 and the pillar reinforcement 14 are removed from the pillar body 13 and viewed from the vehicle exterior side, and fig. 6 is an enlarged view of a VI portion of fig. 5. In addition, fig. 7 is a sectional view of the front pillar 10 taken along line VII-VII of fig. 2.

A pair of metal spacers 15A and 15B that partition the interior of the column main body 13 into a plurality of space portions in the longitudinal direction are attached to the interior of the column main body 13. The spacers 15A, 15B are joined to the face of the pillar inner panel 12 that faces the side within the closed cross section of the pillar body 13 (within the closed cross section between the pillar inner panel 12 and the pillar reinforcement 14). The spacers 15A and 15B are attached to two positions of the pillar inner panel 12 that are separated in the longitudinal direction, and extend in the direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the pillar body 13. A circular filling hole 17 for filling a filling material 16 (see fig. 4) such as foamed urethane into the pillar main body 13 is formed in the pillar inner panel 12 at a position facing the space partitioned by the pair of spacers 15A and 15B.

After the pillar main body 13 is assembled, the mouth of the filling gun is inserted into the filling hole 17 from the vehicle interior side of the pillar inner panel 12. The filler 16 flowing into the filling hole 17 from the filling gun is filled into a space portion between the spacers 15A, 15B in the closed cross section between the pillar inner panel 12 and the pillar reinforcement 14, and also is filled into a part of the closed cross section between the pillar reinforcement 14 and the pillar outer panel 11. An introduction hole 18 is formed in the pillar reinforcement 14 at a position facing the space between the separators 15A and 15B. The introduction hole 18 introduces the filler 16, which has flowed into the space between the spacers 15A and 15B, into the closed cross section between the pillar reinforcement 14 and the pillar outer panel 11. The filler 16 filled in the closed cross section of the pillar body 13 is cured (foamed shape is stabilized) in a state where a part of the closed cross section in the longitudinal direction is substantially closed. The filling hole 17 is closed by a not-shown cover member after the filling material 16 is filled into the pillar body 13. The spacers 15A and 15B restrict the flow of the filler 16 in the closed cross section between the pillar inner panel 12 and the pillar reinforcement 14.

Further, a drain pipe 19 extending substantially in the longitudinal direction of the column main body 13 is disposed inside the column main body 13. The drain pipe 19 is disposed across a plurality of spaces in the column main body 13 partitioned by the partitions 15A and 15B. The drain pipe 19 is a resin pipe for discharging water flowing into a tube portion (not shown) inside the sunroof opening 3 provided in the roof portion 2 of the vehicle to the lower side of the vehicle. The drain pipe 19 constitutes a penetration member of the present embodiment.

Here, each of the separators 15A and 15B includes: a pair of joining walls 20 joined to the closed cross-sectional side surfaces of the pillar inner panels 12; and a connecting wall 21 that rises from one end side of both the joint walls 20 in a direction away from the pillar inner panel 12 and extends in a direction intersecting the extending direction of the pillar inner panel 12 (the pillar body 13). The pair of joining walls 20 are joined to positions on the pillar inner panel 12 that are on the outer side in the width direction with respect to the center of the filling hole 17 and positions on the inner side in the width direction. The connecting wall 21 extends in the width direction of the pillar inner panel 12 (the direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the pillar body 13), and connects the joining wall 20 on the inner side in the width direction and the joining wall 20 on the outer side in the width direction to each other. The pair of joint walls 20 and the connecting wall 21 are formed integrally by one metal plate.

The surfaces of the pillar inner panel 12 to which the spacers 15A and 15B are attached are provided along the front-rear direction and the vertical direction of the vehicle body. Therefore, the joint wall 20 of the spacers 15A, 15B rises from the pillar inner panel 12 toward the vehicle body side.

The connecting wall 21 of each of the separators 15A, 15B is provided with a cutout portion 21B on the extended end side of a base portion 21a rising from the end portion of both the joining walls 20. The cutout portion 21b is formed by cutting out the base portion 21a in a substantially rectangular shape so that the front view shape of the base portion 21a is substantially L-shaped. A flange portion 21c bent substantially at a right angle to the extending surface of the base portion 21a extends from an end edge of the cutout portion 21 b. The cutout portion 21b and the flange portion 21c of the connecting wall 21 constitute a guide portion 22 for guiding the drain pipe 19 as a penetrating member.

The guide portion 22 is provided at a position of the base portion 21a that is a lower portion on the vehicle exterior side in a state where the spacers 15A, 15B are attached to the surface of the pillar inner panel 12 in the vehicle body vertical direction.

As shown in fig. 6, 7, and the like, in the spacer 15A disposed on the upper side, the joint wall 20 is bent upward in the extending direction of the column body 13 with respect to the base portion 21a of the joint wall 21, and the flange portion 21c constituting the guide portion 22 is bent downward in the extending direction of the column body 13. On the other hand, in the spacer 15B disposed on the lower side, the joint wall 20 is bent downward in the extending direction of the pillar body 13 with respect to the base portion 21a of the joint wall 21, and the flange portion 21c constituting the guide portion 22 is bent downward in the extending direction of the pillar body 13. As shown in fig. 7, the extending end sides of the connecting walls 21 of the spacers 15A and 15B are inclined in a direction away from the pillar inner panel 12 toward the lower side which is the penetrating direction of the drain pipe 19.

As shown in fig. 3, 4, and the like, the guide portions 22 of the spacers 15A, 15B guide the drain pipe 19 to a position where the drain pipe 19 does not block the filling holes 17 of the pillar inner panel 12 and the introduction holes 18 of the pillar reinforcement 14.

As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the introduction hole 18 of the pillar reinforcement 14 is disposed above the filling hole 17 of the pillar inner panel 12. The guide portion 22 of each of the separators 15A and 15B guides the drain pipe 19 such that the drain pipe 19 is positioned below an upper end region 30a (see fig. 4) of an introduction path 30 of the filler 16 linearly connecting the filling hole 17 and the introduction hole 18.

As shown in fig. 2 and 5, another guide member 23 for guiding the drain pipe 19 is attached to the upper side of the upper side spacer 15A in the longitudinal direction of the pillar body 13 on the surface of the pillar inner panel 12 facing the closed cross section. The guide member 23 guides the drain pipe 19 at a position closer to the front side than the upper partition 15A in the penetrating direction of the drain pipe 19 inside the column main body 13.

The guide member 23 is made of a metal plate, and has a first guide surface 23a that guides the drain pipe 19 in a direction (upward) away from the lower inner surface 12u (see fig. 5) of the column main body 13 in the insertion direction, and a second guide surface 23b that guides the drain pipe 19 separated by the first guide surface 23a toward the lower inner surface 12u (downward) of the column main body 13. The drain pipe 19 guided by the first guide surface 23a and the second guide surface 23b of the guide member 23 is directed toward the guide portion 22 in the vicinity below the partition 15A on the upper side. Therefore, the drain pipe 19 is smoothly guided to the guide portion 22 of the partition 15A.

In the above configuration, after the column main body 13 is assembled and the drain pipe 19 is inserted and arranged from the upper side inside the column main body 13, the filling material 16 is filled into the column main body 13 through the filling hole 17. When a filling gun is inserted into the filling hole 17 and the filling material 16 is supplied from the filling gun, the filling material 16 flows into the closed cross section between the pillar inner panel 12 and the pillar reinforcement 14 as indicated by the arrow in fig. 4. At this time, the filler 16 flows into the space partitioned by the upper separator 15A and the lower separator 15B. Then, a part of the filler 16 flowing into the closed cross section between the pillar inner panel 12 and the pillar reinforcement 14 bypasses the upper side of the drain pipe 19 as shown by the arrow in fig. 4, and then flows into the closed cross section between the pillar reinforcement 14 and the pillar outer panel 11 through the introduction hole 18.

In this way, the predetermined amount of the filler 16 filled into the closed cross section of the strut body 13 is cured while blocking a part of the closed cross section in the longitudinal direction. Then, the filling hole 17 of the pillar inner panel 12 is closed by the cover member from the vehicle interior side. In this way, when the filler 16 is filled into the pillar body 13, the filled filler 16 can improve the strength of the pillar body 13 and improve the sound insulation.

As described above, in the front pillar 10 (pillar structure) of the present embodiment, the guide portion 22 for guiding the drain pipe 19 to a position not closing the filling hole 17 is provided in the spacers 15A and 15B attached to the inside of the pillar body 13. Therefore, when the filler 16 is filled into the column main body 13, the drain pipe 19 can be disposed inside the column main body 13 so as not to hinder the filling of the filler 16 from the filling hole 17.

In addition, in the front pillar 10 of the present embodiment, the guide portion 22 is provided in the separators 15A and 15B without providing a dedicated guide member for guiding the drain pipe 19 in the vicinity of the filling hole 17, so that the number of components can be reduced.

In the front pillar 10 of the present embodiment, a filling hole 17 is provided in a pillar inner panel 12 constituting a part of the pillar body 13, and the spacers 15A and 15B are joined to the pillar inner panel 12 provided with the filling hole 17. Therefore, the joint portions of the spacers 15A and 15B can compensate for the rigidity of the pillar inner panel 12, which is reduced in rigidity by the provision of the filling holes 17.

In the front pillar 10 of the present embodiment, the spacers 15A and 15B include a pair of joint walls 20 and a connecting wall 21 that connects the joint walls 20 to each other, the joint walls 20 are joined to the pillar inner panel 12 at positions that are on the outer side in the width direction and on the inner side in the width direction with respect to the center of the filling hole 17, and a guide portion 22 that guides the drain pipe 19 is provided on the connecting wall 21. Therefore, the rigidity of the edge portion of the filling hole 17 of the pillar inner panel 12 can be efficiently increased by the spacers 15A and 15B.

In the case of this front pillar 10, the guide portion 22 is disposed on the side of the spacers 15A, 15B that is away from the pillar inner panel 12 (the extended end side of the connecting wall 21), so that the drain pipe 19 can be further suppressed from becoming an obstacle to the flow of the filler 16 when the filler 16 is filled from the filling hole 17.

In the front pillar 10 of the present embodiment, an introduction hole 18 for introducing the filler 16 into the closed cross section between the pillar reinforcement 14 and the pillar outer panel 11 is provided in the pillar reinforcement 14, and the guide portion 22 of the spacers 15A, 15B guides the drain pipe 19 to a position not closing the introduction hole 18 of the pillar reinforcement 14. Therefore, the guide portions 22 of the spacers 15A and 15B can prevent the introduction holes 18 on the strut reinforcement 14 side from being closed by the drain pipe 19. Therefore, even in the case of the front pillar 10 according to the present embodiment, the filler 16 can be smoothly filled in the closed cross section between the pillar reinforcement 14 and the pillar outer panel 11.

In the front pillar 10 of the present embodiment, the introduction hole 18 on the pillar reinforcement 14 side is disposed above the filling hole 17 on the pillar inner panel 12 side, and the guide portion 22 of the spacers 15A and 15B guides the drain pipe 19 such that the drain pipe 19 is located below an upper end region 30a of the introduction path 30 of the filler 16 linearly connecting the filling hole 17 and the introduction hole 18. Therefore, even if the drain pipe 19 hangs down between the separators 15A and 15B due to its own weight, the drain pipe 19 does not cut the introduction path 30 of the filler 16 from the filling hole 17 to the introduction hole 18 to a large extent.

When the filler 16 is filled, the filler flowing from the filling hole 17 may slightly incline downward by its own weight in the middle of the introduction hole 18. At this time, the filler 16 comes into contact with the upper portion of the drain pipe 19 located below the upper end region 30a of the introduction path 30 of the filler 16, and the advancing direction of the filler 16 is changed to the direction toward the introduction hole 18 again. Therefore, when the front pillar 10 of the present embodiment is used, the filler 16 can be introduced more smoothly into the closed cross section between the pillar reinforcement 14 and the pillar outer panel 11.

In the front pillar 10 of the present embodiment, a guide member 23 that guides the drain pipe 19 is provided on the front side of the partitioning members 15A and 15B in the insertion direction (the direction from the upper portion to the lower portion) of the drain pipe 19 in the pillar body 13. Further, the guide member 23 has: a first guide surface 23a that guides the drain pipe 19 in a direction away from the lower inner surface 12u of the column main body 13; and a second guide surface 23b that guides the drain pipe 19 separated by the first guide surface 23a to the lower inner surface 12u side of the column main body 13. Therefore, the drain pipe 19 can be easily directed toward the guide portion 22 in the vicinity below the partition 15A on the upper side in the front side in the insertion direction by the cooperation of the first guide surface 23a and the second guide surface 23b of the guide member 23. Therefore, when the front pillar 10 of the present embodiment is used, the drain pipe 19 can be smoothly guided to the guide portion 22 of the spacer 15A.

In the front pillar 10 of the present embodiment, the connecting wall 21 of the spacers 15A and 15B is inclined in a direction away from the pillar inner panel 12 toward the penetrating direction of the drain pipe 19. Therefore, when the drain pipe 19 is disposed through the inside of the column main body 13, the drain pipe 19 is not easily locked by the spacers 15A and 15B. Therefore, when the front pillar 10 of the present embodiment is used, the drain pipe 19 can be easily disposed inside the pillar body 13 when the pillar body 13 is assembled.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various design changes can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the drain pipe 19 is disposed as the penetrating member inside the column main body 13, but the penetrating member is not limited to the drain pipe 19, and may be a wire or the like.
