Abstract

A resin panel of which contact surfaces of a rear wall to be in contact with another member are made unlikely to deform while reducing the weight of the resin panel. The panel includes a rear wall having a plurality of contact surfaces to be in contact with another member, and a front wall opposing the rear wall with an interval therebetween, the resin panel including a plurality of ribs obtained by indenting parts of the rear wall toward the front wall and welding the parts to an inner surface of the front wall, wherein a wall thickness of the front wall is generally equal to or smaller than a wall thickness of the rear wall.

Claims (31)

1. A resin panel comprising a rear wall having a plurality of contact surfaces to be in contact with another member, and a front wall opposing the rear wall with an interval therebetween,

the resin panel comprising a plurality of rectangular ribs being part of a rear wall indented towards the front wall and the rectangular ribs being welded to an inner surface of the front wall, wherein:

a reinforcement placed so as to bridge between the contact surfaces and the entirety of the reinforcement is positioned between the front wall and the rear wall, and the rectangular ribs are formed non-parallel to the reinforcement, and

the rectangular ribs are formed of a resin, and the reinforcement is formed of a metal.

2. The resin panel of claim 1 , wherein:

the reinforcement is provided so as to pass through adjacent two of the rectangular ribs which are aligned in a longitudinal direction of the rectangular ribs.

3. The resin panel of claim 1 , wherein:

a pair of the reinforcements are provided so as to extend in a first direction, and the rectangular ribs are provided so as to extend in a second direction, the second direction being non-parallel to the first direction.

4. The resin panel of claim 1 , wherein:

surfaces of the rectangular ribs and the front wall welded together are flat.

5. The resin panel of claim 1 , wherein:

a wall thickness of the front wall is generally equal to or smaller than a wall thickness of the rear wall.

6. The resin panel of claim 1 , wherein:

the front wall is lighter than the rear wall.

7. The resin panel of claim 1 , wherein:

an average wall thickness of the front wall is 1.2 mm or less; and

an average wall thickness of the rear wall is 1.7 mm or less.

8. The resin panel of claim 1 , wherein:

the rear wall is formed by a material having a higher moldability than the front wall.

9. The resin panel of claim 8 , wherein:

the front wall includes a base resin and a filler; and

a content of the filler of the rear wall is smaller than that of the front wall.

10. The resin panel of claim 1 , wherein:

a reinforcement unit is provided between the front wall and the rear wall, the reinforcement unit including a first reinforcement and a second reinforcement placed so as to bridge between the contact surfaces, and a third reinforcement interposed between the first reinforcement and the second reinforcement.

11. The resin panel of claim 10 , wherein:

the reinforcement unit is assembled by fixing at least one of a pair of the first reinforcement and the second reinforcement, a pair of the first reinforcement and the third reinforcement, and a pair of the second reinforcement and the third reinforcement together using a foam.

12. The resin panel of claim 1 , wherein:

a reinforcement unit is provided between the front wall and the rear wall, the reinforcement unit including a first reinforcement placed so as to bridge between the contact surfaces, and a second reinforcement interposed between the first reinforcement and the contact surface.

13. The resin panel of claim 12 , wherein:

the first reinforcement and the second reinforcement are fixed together by a foam.

14. The resin panel of claim 1 , wherein the front wall has a shape with smaller protrusions/depressions than the ribs of the rear wall.
