The present disclosure relates to a panel structure for an automobile and a manufacturing method of a panel structure for an automobile.
The present application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2021-143779 filed in Japan on Sep. 3, 2021, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
Currently, a technique for reducing the weight of an automobile is demanded. It is considered that when an outer panel such as a roof, a hood, or a door constituting an automobile can be high-strengthened, sufficient strength can be maintained even when the outer panel is thinned. Therefore, in order to reduce the weight of an automobile, a technique for high strengthening of an outer panel has been developed.
However, when the outer panel is thinned, the problem of insufficient panel stiffness becomes apparent. The panel stiffness is a characteristic indicating the resistance to deflection of the outer panel. For example, when a hand is placed on an outer panel of an automobile, the outer panel is less likely to deflect if the panel stiffness of the outer panel is high.
As a measure against insufficient panel stiffness, for example, Patent Document 1 describes a technique related to a reinforcement structure of an automobile vehicle body, the reinforcement structure including an inner sheet on an outer sheet with a foam layer interposed therebetween, the foam layer being a thermosetting resin foam having a foaming ratio of 1.03 to 1.30 times.
In the method of Patent Document 1, the foam layer and the outer sheet are bonded by heating at high temperature. When the sheet thickness of the outer sheet is 0.6 mm or more, since the outer sheet is thick, surface strain due to a difference in linear expansion coefficient between members is less likely to occur at the time of bonding. However, when the outer sheet (outer panel member) is thinned (for example, a sheet thickness of 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm) in order to reduce weight, surface strain may occur in the outer sheet due to a difference in linear expansion coefficient between members at the time of bonding, and the external appearance may be deteriorated.
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object is to provide a panel structure for an automobile that is lightweight, excellent in panel stiffness, and excellent in external appearance, and a manufacturing method of a panel structure for an automobile.
In order to solve the above problem, the present invention proposes the means described below.
According to the above aspect of the present invention, it is possible to provide a panel structure for an automobile that is lightweight, excellent in panel stiffness, and excellent in external appearance, and a manufacturing method of a panel structure for an automobile.
Hereinafter, a panel structure for an automobile according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that, in the drawings used in the following description, in order to facilitate understanding of features, feature parts may be illustrated in an enlarged manner for convenience, and dimensional proportions and the like of the components are not necessarily the same as actual ones. In addition, materials, dimensions, and the like exemplified in the following description are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited thereto, and can be appropriately changed and implemented without changing the gist thereof. In the present specification, a numerical value range indicated by using “to” means a range including numerical values described before and after “to” as a lower limit value and an upper limit value.
The outer panel member 1 is a sheet-shaped member having a curved surface protruding toward the outside of the vehicle. In the present disclosure, the surface on the outer side of the vehicle may be referred to as an outer surface, and the surface on the inner side of the vehicle may be referred to as an inner surface. The outer panel member 1 is formed by press forming a metal sheet such as a steel sheet.
The outer panel member 1 of the present disclosure is a member after coating. That is, the outer panel member 1 includes a base metal 12 and a coating film 14 provided on the base metal 12. In the present disclosure, the coating film 14 is provided on the outer surface and the inner surface of the base metal 12.
The tensile strength of the base metal 12 of the outer panel member 1 is preferably 440 MPa or more, and more preferably 590 MPa or more from the viewpoint of dent resistance. The tensile strength of the base metal 12 can be determined by preparing a No. 5 test piece described in JIS Z 2241:2011 from the base metal 12 and performing a test method described in JIS Z 2241:2011.
The coating film 14 is not particularly limited as long as it is formed using an automobile paint. For example, as the coating film 14, cationic epoxy resin, cationic acrylic resin, anionic acrylic resin, or the like can be used. The thickness of the coating film 14 is not particularly limited. The thickness of the coating film 14 is, for example, 20 μm to 100 μm on one side of the steel sheet.
The base metal 12 of the outer panel member 1 of the present disclosure has a sheet thickness of 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm. When the sheet thickness of the base metal 12 of the outer panel member 1 is 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm, the panel structure for an automobile 10 can be greatly reduced in weight. When the sheet thickness of the base metal 12 is less than 0.3 mm, sufficient panel stiffness cannot be obtained. When the sheet thickness of the base metal 12 exceeds 0.5 mm, the effect of weight reduction is reduced.
The bending rigidity of the resin member 2 of the present disclosure is 0.3×106 N·mm2 or more. When the bending rigidity of the resin member 2 of the present disclosure is less than 0.3×106 N·mm2, sufficient panel stiffness cannot be obtained. Even when the bending rigidity of the resin member 2 exceeds 2×106 N·mm2, the effect is saturated, so that the bending rigidity of the resin member 2 is preferably 2×106 N·mm2 or less. The average bending rigidity of the entire resin member 2 is preferably 0.3×106 N·mm2 or more, but the bending rigidity may be less than 0.3×106 N·mm2 in one or a plurality of parts of the resin member 2.
The bending rigidity of the resin member 2 can be measured, for example, by the method described below. For example, the test piece size, the radius of the bending indenter, and the inter-support distance are corrected based on JIS A1408: 2017 so that the test piece of the resin member 2 cut out from the panel structure for an automobile 10 can be measured using Autograph AG-100KND manufactured by SHIMAZU CORPORATION, and a three-point bending test is performed to measure the maximum load and stroke of the bending indenter. Specifically, the test piece has a width of 100 mm and a length of 200 mm, an inter-support distance Lis 180 mm, and the bending radius of the indenter is 50 mm. In addition, the stroke speed of the bending indenter is set to 5 mm/min. The average values of the two-time measurements are obtained. The bending rigidity in each measurement can be obtained by Formula (1).
Bending rigidity=E(Young's modulus)×I(second moment of area) (1)
Young's modulus: E=L3/4bh3×ΔF/Δs (2)
In the resin member 2, the thickness of a portion (maximum thickness portion) having the maximum size in a direction perpendicular to the in-plane direction of the outer panel member 1 is preferably 3 mm or more and 60 mm or less.
It is preferable that the thickness of the maximum thickness portion of the resin member 2 be 3 mm or more because the insufficiency of rigidity due to the thinning of the outer panel member 1 can be compensated.
On the other hand, even when the thickness of the maximum thickness portion of the resin member 2 exceeds 60 mm, the effect is saturated, and thus the thickness is preferably 60 mm or less.
It is sufficient if the material of the resin member 2 is resin, and both thermosetting resin and thermoplastic resin can be used.
Examples of the thermosetting resin include epoxy resin, unsaturated polyester resin, and vinyl ester resin.
Examples of the thermoplastic resin include polyolefins (polyethylene, polypropylene, or the like) and acid-modified products thereof, polyamide resins such as nylon 6 and nylon 66, thermoplastic aromatic polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate and polybutylene terephthalate, polycarbonate, polyethersulfone, polyphenylene ether and modified products thereof, polyarylate, polyetherketone, polyetheretherketone, polyetherketoneketone, vinyl chloride, styrene-based resins such as polystyrene, and phenoxy resins. Note that the resin may be formed of a plurality of types of resin materials. The amount of the thermoplastic resin in the resin member 2 is preferably 90 mass % or more with respect to the total mass of the resin member 2. The amount of the thermoplastic resin in the resin member 2 may be 100 mass %.
The resin member 2 may be foam resin obtained by foaming the resin described above. By using the foam resin, the weight of the panel structure for an automobile 10 can be reduced. When the resin member 2 is foam resin, the foaming ratio is preferably 5 times or more and 50 times or less. When the foaming ratio is 5 times or more and 50 times or less, weight reduction can be achieved while the bending rigidity of the resin member 2 is set to 0.3×106 N·mm2 or more.
The specific gravity of the resin member 2 is preferably 0.1 or less for weight reduction. When the specific gravity of the resin member 2 is 0.1 or less and the bending rigidity of the resin member 2 is 0.3×106 N·mm2 or more, the panel structure for an automobile 10 can be made lighter while maintaining the panel stiffness of the panel structure for an automobile 10. The specific gravity of the resin member 2 may be 0.03 or more.
The resin member 2 may not be coated. Normally, surface strain occurs in the outer sheet due to heat applied during coating after bonding, and the external appearance is deteriorated. Since the resin member 2 is bonded to the coated outer panel member 1, surface strain due to baking during electrodeposition coating after bonding does not occur. Thus, the panel structure for an automobile 10 is excellent in external appearance. The resin member 2 may be coated at room temperature (5 to 35° C.).
A disposition area of the resin member 2 disposed on the inner surface of the outer panel member 1 is preferably 50 area % or more with respect to a total area of the inner surface of the outer panel member 1. A disposition area of the resin member 2 disposed on the inner surface of the outer panel member 1 is 50 area % or more with respect to the total area of the inner surface of the outer panel member 1, and the rigidity of the panel structure for an automobile 10 is improved. Here, the disposition area of the resin member 2 refers to an area of a part where the resin member 2 is disposed within the area of the outer panel member 1. The disposition area of the resin member 2 is more preferably 70 area % or more with respect to the total area of the inner surface of the outer panel member 1. The upper limit of the disposition area of the resin member 2 is not particularly limited, but is 100 area %. The disposition area of the resin member 2 is preferably 90 area % or less.
In the first embodiment, one resin member 2 covers 50 area % or more of the inner surface of the outer panel member 1. When electrodeposition coating is performed as in the conventional art, surface strain occurs, but in the present embodiment, since the resin member 2 is bonded to the outer panel member 1 after electrodeposition coating at room temperature, surface strain does not occur even when the entire surface is covered. Thus, more than half of the inner surface of the outer panel member 1 can be covered with the resin member 2. This makes it possible to greatly improve the panel stiffness of the panel structure for an automobile 10.
The adhesive portion 3 of the present disclosure contains a cured material of a room-temperature curing adhesive. The room-temperature curing adhesive is an adhesive that cures at 10° C. to 30° C. Whether or not it is cured can be determined by placing the adhesive at 10° C. to 30° C. for 24 hours and determining whether or not the bending elastic modulus is two times or more higher than that before being left (before curing). The bending elastic modulus can be measured (measurement temperature: 23° C.) in accordance with, for example, JIS K 7171-1:2016. As a room-temperature curing type adhesive, an acrylic adhesive is preferable. Examples of the acrylic adhesive include second generation acrylic adhesive (SGA). An anaerobic adhesive, an instantaneous adhesive, and an elastomer-containing acrylic adhesive can be used as the room-temperature curing adhesive as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired. The room-temperature curing adhesive refers to a state before curing. The adhesive portion 3 of the present disclosure contains a cured material obtained by curing the room-temperature curing adhesive. Since the outer panel member 1 and the resin member 2 after coating are bonded at room temperature, in-plane strain does not occur in the outer panel member 1. Thus, it is possible to obtain the panel structure for an automobile 10 excellent in external appearance.
The area of the adhesive portion 3 with respect to the disposition area of the resin member 2 is preferably 5 area % or more. When the area of the adhesive portion 3 with respect to the disposition area of the resin member 2 is 5 area % or more, the panel stiffness of the panel structure for an automobile 10 can be improved. The area of the adhesive portion with respect to the disposition area of the resin member 2 is more preferably 25 area % or more. In the present embodiment, since the disposition area of the resin member 2 is equal to the bonding area of the adhesive portion 3, the area of the adhesive portion 3 with respect to the disposition area of the resin member 2 is 100 area %.
In the panel structure for an automobile 10, weight reduction is achieved by thinning the outer panel member 1, and the resin member 2 that compensates for insufficient rigidity due to the thinning of the outer panel member 1 is bonded at room temperature, so that occurrence of in-plane strain in the outer panel member 1 is prevented. As described above, since the panel structure for an automobile 10 can achieve both weight reduction and securing rigidity, bending rigidity per unit weight is excellent. For example, when the thickness of the resin member 2 is 3 mm, the bending rigidity of the panel structure for an automobile 10 per 1 kg is preferably 0.57×106 N·mm2 or more. When the thickness of the resin member 2 is 20 mm, the bending rigidity of the panel structure for an automobile 10 per 1 kg is preferably 1.47×106 N·mm2 or more. When the thickness of the resin member 2 is 40 mm, the bending rigidity of the panel structure for an automobile 10 per 1 kg is preferably 1.46×106 N·mm2 or more. When the thickness of the resin member 2 is 60 mm, the bending rigidity of the panel structure for an automobile 10 per 1 kg is preferably 1.49×106 N·mm2 or more. The bending rigidity of the panel structure for an automobile 10 can be measured by the same method as the bending rigidity of the resin member 2.
Next, an example of a manufacturing method of the panel structure for an automobile 10 according to the first embodiment will be described.
In the coating step S1, the base metal 12 press-formed into the shape of the outer panel member 1 is coated. As a result, the coating layer film 14 is formed on the base metal 12. The coating method is not particularly limited as long as it is a coating method used in automobile applications. Examples of the coating method include electrodeposition coating. In the case of performing electrodeposition coating, for example, degreasing, surface adjustment, chemical conversion treatment, electrodeposition coating, and baking are performed on the base metal 12 to form the coating film 14. Note that degreasing, surface adjustment, chemical conversion treatment, electrodeposition coating, and baking are preferably general methods used in automobile applications.
In the adhesive application step S2, after the coating step S1, the room-temperature curing adhesive is applied to at least one of the inner surface of the outer panel member 1 and the resin member 2.
In the adhesive application step S2, the disposition area of the resin member 2 disposed on the inner surface of the outer panel member 1 is preferably 50 area % or more with respect to the total area of the inner surface of the outer panel member 1. A disposition area of the resin member 2 disposed on the inner surface of the outer panel member 1 is 50 area % or more with respect to the total area of the inner surface of the outer panel member 1, and the rigidity of the panel structure for an automobile 10 is improved. Here, the disposition area of the resin member 2 refers to an area of a part where the resin member 2 is disposed within the area of the outer panel member 1. The disposition area of the resin member 2 is more preferably 70 area % or more with respect to the total area of the inner surface of the outer panel member 1. The upper limit of the disposition area of the resin member 2 is not particularly limited, but is 100 area %. The disposition area of the resin member 2 is preferably 90 area % or less.
In the bonding step S3, after the adhesive application step S2, the inner surface of the outer panel member 1 and the resin member 2 are bonded. Specifically, the disposition region of the outer panel member 1 and the disposition region of the resin member 2 to which the room-temperature curing adhesive is applied are held together, and the room-temperature curing adhesive is cured at room temperature for a predetermined time, thereby obtaining the panel structure for an automobile 10.
The panel structure for an automobile 10 according to the first embodiment has been described in detail above. Although the outer panel member 1 of the first embodiment includes the coating film 14 on the outer surface and the inner surface, the coating film may be formed only on the outer surface of the outer panel member 1.
Next, a panel structure for an automobile 10A according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to
The bending rigidity of the resin member 2A of the present disclosure is 0.3×106 N·mm2 or more.

As the material of the resin member 2A, the same resin as the resin member 2 can be used.
The resin member 2A may not be coated. Since the resin member 2A is bonded to the coated outer panel member 1, surface strain due to baking during electrodeposition coating after bonding does not occur, which is preferable. In addition, the resin member 2A may be coated at room temperature.
A disposition area of the resin member 2A disposed on the inner surface of the outer panel member 1 is preferably 50 area % or more with respect to the total area of the inner surface of the outer panel member 1.

As the material of the resin member 2D, the same resin as the resin member 2 can be used.
The resin member 2D may not be coated. Since the resin member 2D is bonded to the coated outer panel member 1, surface strain due to baking during electrodeposition coating after bonding does not occur, which is preferable. In addition, the resin member 2D may be coated at room temperature.
A disposition area of the resin member 2D disposed on the inner surface of the outer panel member 1 is preferably 50 area % or more with respect to the total area of the inner surface of the outer panel member 1.

The area of the adhesive portion 3D with respect to the disposition area of the resin member 2D is preferably 5 area % or more. When the area of the adhesive portion 3D with respect to the disposition area of the resin member 2D is 5 area % or more, the panel stiffness of the panel structure for an automobile 10D can be improved. The area of the adhesive portion 3D with respect to the disposition area of the resin member 2D is more preferably 25 area % or more. In the present embodiment, since the disposition area of the resin member 2D is equal to the bonding area of the adhesive portion 3D, the area of the adhesive portion 3D with respect to the disposition area of the resin member 2D is 100 area %.
The inner member 4 is an elongated member disposed to face the inner surface of the outer panel member 1. The inner member 4 is disposed in the form of extending along one direction in the in-plane direction of the outer panel member 1. The inner member 4 is attached to the outer panel member 1 in such a form that the longitudinal direction thereof matches the vehicle width direction so as to have a role of reinforcing the panel structure for an automobile 10.
As illustrated in
Note that, in the present disclosure, the width direction of the inner member 4 means a direction parallel to the top sheet portion 121 among directions perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the inner member 4.

That is, at least a part of the inner member 4 is embedded in the resin member 2D. In the present disclosure, “at least a part of the inner member 4 is embedded in the resin member” means that at least a part of the inner member 4 enters the resin member and is retained in a state of surface contact. Further, the upper surfaces of the pair of resin members 2D, 2D are joined to the inner surface of the outer panel member 1 via the adhesive portion 3D.
Next, an example of a manufacturing method of the panel structure for an automobile 10D according to the fifth embodiment will be described.
In the resin member molding step S4, a mold is installed so as to surround a predetermined portion of the inner member 4, and resin material is injected into the mold and solidified to integrate the inner member 4 and the pair of resin members 2D, 2D. As the resin material, either thermoplastic resin or thermosetting resin can be employed. In addition, the resin material may contain a foaming agent. Examples of the foaming agent include N,N′-dinitrosopentamethylenetetramine, azodicarbonamide, 4,4′-oxybis (benzenesulfonylhydrazide), hydrogen carbonate, and sodium hydrogen carbonate.
In the resin member molding step S4, intermediate products of the pair of resin members 2D, 2D may be molded by first injecting and solidifying a resin material into the mold, slit processing may be performed on each intermediate product, and the flange portions 125 of the inner member 4 may be inserted into the slits to integrate them.

In the adhesive application step S2D, the disposition area of the resin member 2D disposed on the inner surface of the outer panel member 1 is preferably 50 area % or more with respect to the total area of the inner surface of the outer panel member 1. When the disposition area of the resin member 2D disposed on the inner surface of the outer panel member 1 is 50 area % or more with respect to the total area of the inner surface of the outer panel member 1, the rigidity of the panel structure for an automobile 10 is improved.
The panel structure for an automobile 10D of the fifth embodiment has been described in detail above. Note that, in the fifth embodiment, a member having a hat-shaped cross-section is used as the inner member 4, but a member having a U-shaped cross-section or a member having a T-shaped cross-section may be used. In addition, although the resin member 2D is provided over the total length in the longitudinal direction of the inner member 4, the resin member 2D may be constituted to be provided only in a part in the longitudinal direction of the inner member 4.
Although the panel structure for an automobile 10 of the present disclosure has been described above on the basis of the first embodiment, the second embodiment, the third embodiment, the fourth embodiment, and the fifth embodiment, the panel structure for an automobile 10 of the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
For example, the panel structure for an automobile 10 of a side door can also be applied to panel structures such as a hood, a roof, and a back door.
