BUMPER REINFORCEMENT, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAME, AND RESIN REINFORCEMENT MEMBER FOR BUMPER REINFORCEMENT
Provided are: a lightweight bumper reinforcement which, with respect to the load during a collision, exhibits high rigidity against a light load and, against a heavy load, is capable of plastic deformation to absorb collision energy while effectively transferring unabsorbed energy to a crash box; a method for manufacturing the same; and a resin reinforcement member for a bumper reinforcement. The bumper reinforcement of the present disclosure comprises a body portion extending along a vehicle width direction, and a resin reinforcement portion extending along the vehicle width direction and disposed on the vehicle body side relative to the body portion. The body portion has at least one first joint portion on the vehicle body side. The resin reinforcement portion has at least one second joint portion joined to the first joint portion, and one or more reinforcement ribs projecting on the vehicle body side and extending along the vehicle width direction.
1 . A bumper reinforcement comprising
a body part extending along a vehicle width direction and
a resin reinforcement part extending along the vehicle width direction and arranged more at a vehicle body side than the body part
wherein,
the body part has at least one first joining part at the vehicle body side, and
the resin reinforcement part has
at least one second joining part to be joined with the first joining part and
one or more reinforcement ribs sticking out to the vehicle body side and extending along the vehicle width direction.
2 . The bumper reinforcement according to claim 1 , wherein
the body part has an open cross-section and
the first joining part of the body part and the second joining part of the resin reinforcement part are joined so that a cavity part is formed inside of the body part.
3 . The bumper reinforcement according to claim 1 , wherein the cross-sectional shape of the body part is a hat type in form.
4 . The bumper reinforcement according to claim 1 , wherein
the body part has the first joining parts at the top and bottom, and
the reinforcement ribs are arranged corresponding to the first joining parts.
5 . The bumper reinforcement according to claim 1 , wherein the resin reinforcement part has one or more holes.
6 . The bumper reinforcement according to claim 1 , wherein the body part includes an aluminum alloy exhibiting a 350 MPa or more tensile strength.
7 . The bumper reinforcement according to claim 1 , wherein the resin reinforcement part includes a resin exhibiting a 5 GPa or more elasticity at 80° C.
8 . The bumper reinforcement according to claim 1 , wherein at least one type of agent selected from the group consisting of an adhesive and a primer is arranged between the first joining part and the second joining part.
9 . The bumper reinforcement according to claim 1 , wherein
the body part has the first joining parts respectively at the top and bottom,
the resin reinforcement part has
a resin body extending along the vehicle width direction and
the second joining parts respectively at the top and bottom of the resin body, and
the first joining parts and the second joining parts are joined at joining surfaces intersecting with a vehicle front-rear direction.
10 . The bumper reinforcement according to claim 1 , wherein the resin body has a second reinforcement rib extending in a vehicle top-bottom direction.
11 . A method of production of a bumper reinforcement comprising
a step of preparing a body part having at a vehicle body side at least one first joining part and extending along a vehicle width direction and
a step of making a second joining part of a resin reinforcement part having at least one second joining part and extending along the vehicle width direction join with the first joining part of the body part,
wherein,
the resin reinforcement part is arranged more at the vehicle body side than the body part and
the resin reinforcement part has one or more reinforcement ribs sticking out to the vehicle body side and extending along the vehicle width direction.
12 . The method of production according to claim 11 , wherein the joining step comprises applying a primer layer to the first joining part of the body part, applying the second joining part of the resin reinforcement part to the primer layer, and then heating and melt bonding the primer layer and the second joining part.
13 . A resin reinforcement member for a bumper reinforcement provided with a body part having at least one first joining part at a vehicle body side,
which the resin reinforcement member being arranged more at the vehicle body side than the body part and having
at least one second joining part to be joined with the first joining part and
one or more reinforcement ribs sticking out to the vehicle body side and extending along a vehicle width direction.
14 . The resin reinforcement member according to claim 13 ,
which the resin reinforcement member comprises
a resin body extending along the vehicle width direction,
a pair of the second joining parts respectively provided at a top and bottom of the resin body, and
the one or more reinforcement ribs provided at the vehicle body side of the resin body, and
the second joining parts have joining surfaces intersecting with a vehicle front-rear direction.
