SUMMARY OF INVENTION

Technical Problem

Typically, the sandwich panel is configured by disposing a core member between two faceplates and joining the two faceplates and the core member using an adhesive agent. However, in the joining using the adhesive agent, adhesion failure between the faceplates and the core member may occur. When the faceplates and the core member are joined using a bolt or the like in order to increase the adhesion strength or to improve the adhesion reliability, it is necessary to form a hole for joining in the faceplates and the core member. Therefore, the mechanical strength of the sandwich panel may decrease, which is more significant when the material is a fiber-reinforced resin. In addition, when the faceplates and the core member are joined using a bolt or the like, the weight increases, and the manufacturing process of the sandwich panel may also be complicated.

An object of the present disclosure is to provide a panel structure capable of improving reliability of joining between a faceplate and a core member.

Solution to Problem

A panel structure according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes: a sheet-shaped core member that has a thermoplastic property and includes a plurality of protruding portions on at least one surface; a sheet-shaped faceplate that is disposed on the plurality of protruding portions and has a thermoplastic property; and a fusing portion that is selectively formed between the faceplate and the plurality of protruding portions and joins the faceplate and the core member to each other.

Advantageous Effects of Invention

According to the present disclosure, the reliability of joining between the faceplate the core member can be improved.

FIG. 1 is a diagram schematically showing a cross-section of the panel structure according to the first embodiment. FIG. 2 is a diagram schematically showing a core member according to the first embodiment. The panel structure according to the present disclosure is applicable to, for example, automobiles, trains, other mobility vehicles, and buildings.

As shown in FIG. 1, a panel structure 10 includes a core member 12, a faceplate 14, and a fusing portion 16.

The core member 12 has a thermoplastic property. The core member 12 is formed in a sheet shape using a thermoplastic resin. Examples of the thermoplastic resin include a polyamide resin, a polypropylene resin, an ABS resin, polyether ether ketone, polyether ketone, and polyphenylene sulfide. However, the present disclosure is not limited to this example. The thermoplastic resin is preferably a thermoplastic fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) including a reinforced fiber. The fiber reinforced plastic is, for example, preferably a glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) or a carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP). The fiber reinforced plastic is not limited to the examples. The core member 12 includes a plurality of protruding portions 18 on one surface. The core member 12 includes recessed portions 20 at positions corresponding to the protruding portions 18 on another surface. As shown in FIG. 2, the plurality of protruding portions 18 are formed on the one surface of the core member 12.

For example, in order to improve heat insulating properties of the panel structure 10, it is preferable that the core member 12 is formed of a material having a low thermal conductivity. In this case, the core member 12 may be formed of, for example, a carbon fiber reinforced plastic a glass fiber reinforced plastic, a mixture of a glass fiber reinforced plastic and a carbon fiber reinforced plastic, or a short carbon fiber reinforced plastic having a low thermal conductivity.

The faceplate 14 is disposed on the one surface of the core member 12. The faceplate 14 is disposed on the protruding portions 18 of the one surface of the core member 12. The faceplate 14 has a thermoplastic property. The faceplate 14 is formed in a sheet shape using a thermoplastic resin. Examples of the thermoplastic resin include a polyamide resin, a polypropylene resin, an ABS resin, polyether ether ketone, polyether ketone ketone, and polyphenylene sulfide. However, the present disclosure is not limited to this example. The thermoplastic resin is preferably a thermoplastic fiber reinforced plastic including a reinforced fiber.

As shown in FIG. 9, a panel structure 10E according to the sixth embodiment includes the core member 12B, the faceplate 14a, the faceplate 14b, the fusing portions 16, and a filling member 26. The panel structure 10E is different from the panel structure 10B shown in FIG. 5 in that the filling member 26 is provided.

The panel structure 10E according to the sixth embodiment includes the filling member 26 between the core member 12B and each of the faceplate 14a and the faceplate 14b. As a result, in the sixth embodiment, the heat insulating properties can be improved. In addition, in the sixth embodiment, sound insulating properties can also be improved.

Modification Example of Sixth Embodiment

A configuration of a panel structure according to a modification example of the sixth embodiment will be described using FIG. 10. FIG. 10 is a diagram schematically showing a cross-section of the panel structure according to the modification example of the sixth embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 10, a panel structure 10F according to the modification example of the sixth embodiment includes the core member 12Ba, the core member 12Bb, the faceplate 14a, the faceplate 14b, the faceplate 14c, the fusing portions 16, and the filling member 26.

In the example shown in FIG. 10, the core member 12Ba and the core member 12Bb are joined to the single faceplate 14c. However, the present disclosure is not limited to this example. For example, the faceplate 14c may have a structure where two faceplates including a faceplate to which the core member 12Ba is joined and a faceplate to which the core member 12Bb is joined are joined or fused.

In the example shown in FIG. 10, it is assumed that the panel structure 10F receives heat or a sound from a heat source or a sound source (not shown) from the core member 12Ba side. In this case, it is preferable that the filling member 26 is formed between the core member 12Ba and each of the faceplate 14a and the faceplate 14c. That is, when a plurality of core members are present, it is preferable that the filling member 26 is formed on the heat source side or the sound source side.

In the panel structure 10F according to the modification example of the sixth embodiment, by forming a foaming member between the core member 12Ba and each of the faceplate 14a and the faceplate 14c, heat or a sound can be insulated from the side where heat or a sound is directly received. As a result, in the modification example of the sixth embodiment, the heat insulating properties can be improved. In addition, in the modification example of the sixth embodiment, sound insulating properties can be improved.

Seventh Embodiment

A configuration of a panel structure according to a seventh embodiment will be described using FIG. 11. FIG. 11 is a diagram schematically showing a cross-section of the panel structure according to the seventh embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 11, a panel structure 10G according to the seventh embodiment includes the core member 12B, the faceplate 14a, the faceplate 14b, the fusing portions 16, and a flow path 28. The panel structure 10G is different from the panel structure 10B shown in FIG. 5 in that the flow path 28 is provided.

The flow path 28 is formed between the core member 12B and each of the faceplate 14a and the faceplate 14b. A fluid flows through the flow path 28 between the core member 12B and each of the faceplate 14a and the faceplate 14b. The fluid is, for example, a gas or a liquid. Specifically, the fluid is, for example, air or water, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. By causing the fluid through the flow path 28 between the core member 12B and each of the faceplate 14a and the faceplate 14b, the panel structure 10G is cooled. Depending on the temperature of the fluid flowing through the flow path 28, for example, when the panel structure 10G is provided in a vehicle, air in an external environment such as the interior of the vehicle is cooled or heated. In other words, in the seventh embodiment, depending on a correlation between the temperature of the fluid flowing through the flow path 28 and the temperature of a temperature control target as a target of which the temperature is to be controlled, the temperature control target can be cooled or heated. For example, in the seventh embodiment, the temperature of the temperature control target may be measured to determine the temperature of the fluid by a feedback control based on the measurement result of the temperature. As a result, in the seventh embodiment, by controlling the temperature of the fluid depending on the temperature of the temperature control target, the temperature control target can be appropriately cooled or heated.

In the seventh embodiment, by causing the fluid to flow through the flow path 28, sound insulating properties may be improved. For example, sound propagation properties change between when the fluid is a gas and when the fluid is a liquid. The sound propagation properties also change depending on physical properties such as the viscosity of the fluid. That is, by selecting a state of the fluid flowing through the flow path 28 and physical properties, sound insulating properties for a sound received by the panel structure 10G from the sound source (not shown) can be improved. In addition, for example, when a frequency band of a sound that is not insulated is previously known, a fluid that can attenuate the sound in the frequency band is selected and is caused to flow through the flow path 28 such that the sound can be effectively attenuated. That is, in the seventh embodiment, by selecting the state of the fluid flowing through the flow path 28 and the physical properties such as viscosity depending on the sound that is received by the panel structure 10G, sound insulating properties can be improved.

In the panel structure 10G according to the seventh embodiment, by causing the fluid to flow between the core member 12B and each of the faceplate 14a and the faceplate 14b, the panel structure 10G can be cooled. As a result, in the seventh embodiment, the heat insulating properties can be improved. In addition, in the seventh embodiment, by causing a fluid having a lower temperature than external heat through the flow path 28, air in an external environment such as the interior of the vehicle can be cooled. Further, in the seventh embodiment, by causing a fluid having a higher temperature than external heat through the flow path 28, air in an external environment such as the interior of the vehicle can be heated.

The panel structure 10H is different from the panel structure 10D shown in FIG. 8 in that the flow path 28 is provided.

In the example shown in FIG. 12, the panel structure 10H receives heat from a heat source (not shown) from the core member 12Ba side. In this case, it is preferable that the flow path 28 is formed between the core member 12Ba and each of the faceplate 14a and the faceplate 14c. That is, when a plurality of core members are present, it is preferable that the flow path 28 is formed on the heat source side.

In the panel structure 10H according to the modification example of the seventh embodiment, by causing the fluid to flow between the core member 12Ba and each of the faceplate 14a and the faceplate 14c, the side where heat is directly received can be cooled.

For example, the number of the hole portions 30 and the positions where the hole portion 30 is formed can be freely changed depending on the size of a sound to be absorbed, the frequency of the sound, the range of the sound, and the like. For example, even when a plurality of core members are used, the hole portion 30 may be formed at any position of the plurality of core members and the faceplates.

In the panel structure 10I according to the eighth embodiment, by forming the hole portion 30, a sound generated from the panel structure 10I can be absorbed by an acoustic resonance effect. As a result, in the eighth embodiment, noise generated from one of the faceplate 14a or the faceplate 14b can be prevented from propagating to the other one of the faceplate 14a or the faceplate 14b.

Modification Example of Eighth Embodiment

In the panel structure 10I shown in FIG. 13, at least one of the core member 12B, the faceplate 14a, or the faceplate 14b may be formed of a porous resin or a resin including a non-woven carbon fiber.

The adhesion portion 34 is formed between a top portion of the corrugated portion 22 and the one surface of the faceplate 14a. The adhesion portion 34 is selectively formed between each of the top portions of the plurality of corrugated portions 22 and the one surface of the faceplate 14a. The adhesion portion 34 is selectively formed between each of the top portions of the plurality of corrugated portions 22 and the one surface of the faceplate 14a, for example, depending on stiffness and impact resistance required for the panel structure 10K. The adhesion portion 34 can be formed, for example, by bonding and drying the corrugated portion 22 and the faceplate 14a using an adhesive agent for a resin. As the adhesive agent for a resin, a well-known adhesive agent may be used.

The adhesion portions 34 join the core member 12B and the faceplate 14b on the other surface of the core member 12B.

One example of a method of disposing the filling member 26 between the core member 12B and each of the faceplate 14a and the faceplate 14b will be described. For example, before bonding the core member 12B and each of the faceplate 14a and the faceplate 14b using the adhesive agent, the filling member 26 is shaped in a predetermined shape and is disposed in a space between the core member 12B and each of the faceplate 14a and the faceplate 14b. The filling member 26 is fused by joining the core member 12B and each of the faceplate 14a and the faceplate 14b using the adhesion portions 34 and subsequently heating the components using a heat source (not shown). Thus, the filling member 26 adheres to the core member 12B and the faceplate 14a and the faceplate 14b. As a result, the filling member 26 is disposed between the core member 12B and each of the faceplate 14a and the faceplate 14b.

The panel structure 10K according to the tenth embodiment includes the filling member 26 between the core member 12B and each of the faceplate 14a and the faceplate 14b that are joined using the adhesion portions 34. As a result, in the tenth embodiment, the heat insulating properties of the panel structure 10K joined using the adhesive agent can be improved.

The panel structure 10L is different from the panel structure 10K shown in FIG. 15 in that the sound absorbing member 32 is provided instead of the filling member 26.

The sound absorbing member 32 is disposed between the core member 12B and each of the faceplate 14a and the faceplate 14b that are joined using the adhesion portions 34. The sound absorbing member 32 may be selectively disposed between the core member 12B and each of the faceplate 14a and the faceplate 14b. The sound absorbing member 32 can be formed of, for example, any member that exhibits a sound absorbing effect.

The panel structure 10L according to the eleventh embodiment includes the sound absorbing member 32 between the core member 12B and each of the faceplate 14a and the faceplate 14b that are joined using the adhesion portions 34.
