Abstract

A hybrid assembly of a honeycomb structure is provided. The assembly includes a steel plate capable of being mounted on a vehicle body, a steel core into which the steel plate is inserted in order for both ends of the steel plate along the longitudinal direction thereof to be protruded through the steel core, and a plastic core having an inner portion formed with a honeycomb shape into which the steel core is inserted at a central axis along a longitudinal direction thereof.

Claims (25)

1. A hybrid assembly of a honeycomb structure, the assembly comprising:

a steel plate capable of being mounted on a vehicle body;

a steel core into which the steel plate is inserted in order for both ends of the steel plate along a longitudinal direction thereof to be protruded through the steel core; and

a plastic core having an inner portion formed with a honeycomb shape into which the steel core is inserted at a central axis along a longitudinal direction thereof,

wherein a plurality of vertical plates perpendicular to the longitudinal central axis of the plastic core and horizontal plates horizontal to the longitudinal central axis of the plastic core are formed with an inner side of the plastic core,

wherein the vertical plates and the horizontal plates are connected with each other to form the honeycomb shape, and

wherein the vertical plates and the horizontal plates cross each other.

2. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein mounting holes for coupling with a vehicle body are formed at both ends along a longitudinal direction of the steel plate.

3. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein locking jaws for preventing the steel core from being separated from the plastic core are formed at both ends of the steel core.

4. The assembly of claim 1 , further comprising:

a rubber bushing into which the plastic core is inserted; and

an outer pipe into which the rubber bushing is inserted.

5. A method of manufacturing a hybrid assembly of a honeycomb structure, the method comprising:

an injection step of manufacturing a plastic core into which a steel core is inserted by injecting synthetic resin into a mold equipped with the steel core; and

a press-fitting step of press-fitting a steel plate formed with mounting holes at both ends thereof into the steel core;

wherein an inner portion of the plastic core is formed with a honeycomb shape, and

wherein a plurality of vertical plates perpendicular to the longitudinal central axis of the plastic core and horizontal plates horizontal to the longitudinal central axis of the plastic core are formed with an inner side of the plastic core,

wherein the vertical plates and the horizontal plates are connected with each other to form the honeycomb shape, and

wherein the vertical plates and the horizontal plates cross each other.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the inner portion of the plastic core is cut to form the honeycomb shape therein after the injection step.

7. The manufacturing method of claim 5 , wherein a plurality of pins horizontal to the steel core is formed in the inner portion of the mold such that the inner portion of the plastic core can be formed with the honeycomb shape.

8. The manufacturing method of claim 5 , further comprising:

a rubber bushing mounting step of press-fitting the plastic core into a rubber bushing; and

an outer pipe mounting step of inserting the rubber bushing into which the plastic core is press-fitted into an inner portion of an outer pipe,

wherein the rubber bushing mounting step and the outer pipe mounting step are performed after the steel plate is press-fitted into the steel core.
