    摘要: In a method for joining members of the present invention, a B-pillar, a rocker, a side panel served as frame members of a vehicle body, and an elastic body are provided. The B-pillar includes a tubular portion and an extension portion extended from the tubular portion. The rocker includes a first hole portion. The side panel includes a support portion. Next, the tubular portion of the B-pillar is inserted into the first hole portion of the rocker. The elastic body is inserted into the tubular portion of the rocker. The elastic body is pressurized in an axial line L1 direction of the tubular portion of the B-pillar to be expanded outward in a radial direction of the axial line L1, so that the tubular portion of the B-pillar is expanded and deformed to be joined to the first hole portion of the rocker by press-fitting. Further, the extension portion of the B-pillar and the support portion of the side panel are joined by a method different from joining by press-fitting.

    摘要: A bead forming method includes the steps of preparing a bumper stay having a partition wall that partitions an internal space and extends in a longitudinal direction, an elastic body that can be inserted into the bumper stay, and a pusher that presses the elastic body; inserting the elastic body into the bumper stay and arranging the elastic body in the bumper stay so as not to come into contact with the partition wall; and forming a buckling bead by compressing the elastic body in the longitudinal direction of the bumper stay by the pusher to expand the elastic body outward in a radial direction without coming into contact with the partition wall, thereby bulging a part of an outer wall of the bumper stay outward in the radial direction without deforming the partition wall.

    摘要: In a bumper system, one end portion of a first tube is inserted into first beam holes, and the other end portion of the first tube is inserted into a first plate hole, one end portion of a second tube is inserted into second beam holes, and the other end portion of the second tube is inserted into a second plate hole. The bumper stay is joined to a bumper beam and a vehicle body plate by press-fitting in a state in which the first tube is expanded at the holes and the second tube is expanded at the holes. A first connection rib is in contact with the bumper beam, and a second connection rib is in contact with the vehicle body plate in the same direction as a direction in which the first connection rib is in contact with the bumper beam.

    摘要: The member joining device includes: a tubular unit including a tubular assembly that is fixed, a flange portion whose position in a first central axis direction is fixed with respect to the tubular assembly; a shaft unit that includes a shaft assembly inserted into the tubular assembly in a linearly movable manner, and a protrusion portion whose position in a second central axis direction is fixed with respect to the shaft assembly, wherein the protrusion portion is positioned radially outside the first central axis of the tubular assembly, the protrusion portion faces the flange portion in the central axis direction; a rubber member arranged radially outside the tubular assembly, between the protrusion portion and the flange portion in the central axis direction; and a motion mechanism that moves the shaft unit in the central axis direction with respect to the tubular unit.

    摘要: A structural member includes an inner member and an outer member formed of a material different from that of the inner member, the outer member being positioned outside the inner member so as to surround the inner member and including a first adjacent surface adjacent to an outer surface of the inner member, wherein an insulator is disposed between the first adjacent surface and a second adjacent surface of the inner member, the second adjacent surface being adjacent to the first adjacent surface.

    摘要: A joining method of a structure includes preparing a first member including a first portion provided with a first hole and a second portion provided with a second hole, a second member, a die, and an elastic member, inserting the second member into the first hole, inserting the elastic member into the second member, in a state where one end of the second member in an axial direction is located between the first portion and the second portion, compressing and expanding the elastic member in the axial direction, thereby expanding and deforming the second member at a portion passing through the first hole to be swaged and joined to the first portion. The die includes a support surface for applying a compressive force from the die to the elastic member through the second hole. The support surface is perpendicular to an axial direction of the elastic member.
