Press-molded product, press-molded product producing method, and press-molded product producing apparatus
View Patent ↗Provided is a press-molded product capable of improving the bonding strength between a vehicle body reinforcing member and the other member or the rigidity of a vehicle body by enlarging a cross-section of a member to a fullest extent of a design cross-section without forming a notch for preventing a press-molding failure in a ridge-portion flange. A press-molded product is formed by a steel plate having a tensile strength of 340 MPa or more, and includes an inward continuous flange in at least one end portion in a predetermined direction, the inward continuous flange being obtained by continuously forming a ridge-portion flange formed inward in the end portion of the ridge portion, a first flange formed inward in at least a part of an area of the end portion of a first surface portion, and a second flange formed inward in at least a part of an area of the end portion of a second surface portion.
1. A press-molded product of a metal plate which is formed by a steel plate having a tensile strength of 340 MPa or more and includes a ridge portion extending in a predetermined direction and first and second surface portions respectively extending from both sides of a ridge line formed by the ridge portion, the press-molded product comprising:
an inward continuous flange in at least one end portion in the predetermined direction, wherein the inward continuous flange is obtained by continuously forming a ridge-portion flange formed inward in the end portion of the ridge portion, a first flange formed inward in at least a part of an area of the end portion of the first surface portion, and a second flange formed inward in at least a part of an area of the end portion of the second surface portion, and
wherein a flange width (Lf) of the ridge-portion flange, a curvature radius (rf) of the ridge portion, and an angle (θ) formed by the first surface portion and the second surface portion satisfy Equation (1) below:
Lf ≤0.22 ×rf +0.13×θ−5.9 (1)
where 0 mm≤rf 35 mm and 90°≤θ≤145°.
2. The press-molded product according to claim 1 ,
wherein a flange width of at least a part of the ridge-portion flange is smaller than a flange width of at least a part of each of the first flange and the second flange.
3. The press-molded product according to claim 1 ,
wherein a cross-section of the press-molded product when viewed in the predetermined direction is a hat-shaped or groove-shaped opened cross-section or a closed cross-section.
4. The press-molded product according to claim 1 ,
wherein the press-molded product is a vehicle body reinforcing member.
5. The press-molded product according to claim 1 ,
wherein a plate thickness of at least an area of an edge portion of the ridge-portion flange in a width direction is equal to or larger than a plate thickness obtained before a press-molding process.
6. The press-molded product according to claim 1 ,
wherein a plate thickness of at least an area of an edge portion of the ridge-portion flange in a width direction is equal to or smaller than 1.5 times a plate thickness obtained before a press-molding process.
