2. Description of the Related Art Various types of shock absorbing members are incorporated in automobiles to absorb the impact when they collide with or come into contact with other automobiles or objects. The shock absorption mode includes a method of incorporating a liquid damper or the like into a structural material such as a bumper, a method of using the structural material itself as an energy absorber, and a method of interposing a spring between the structural body and the vehicle body. Above all, the method of absorbing the collision energy by plastic deformation of the structural material can absorb a large amount of energy, and is therefore expected to be developed as a shock absorbing member. For example, Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 6-247337 discloses, as this type of shock absorbing member, a fragile portion is provided by compression processing or overhanging processing so as to be a starting point of crushing due to energy at the time of collision.

In a structural material that absorbs impact energy by plastic deformation, the applied impact causes the structural material to buckle and deform. If this buckling is repeated regularly and proceeds continuously, a large impact energy is dispersed and absorbed in each buckling deformation, so that the impact on the occupant is reduced. On the other hand, during normal use and when an impact less than the maximum load that causes buckling deformation is applied, it is necessary to maintain the strength required as a normal structural material.
Moreover, in order to reduce the weight of the vehicle body, a structural material that satisfies these requirements and is lightweight is desired. The present invention has been devised to meet such a demand, and by specifying the shape and size of a rectangular cross section in consideration of tensile strength, proof stress, Young's modulus, etc., the impact energy absorption performance can be improved. It is an object of the present invention to provide a structural member which has a sufficient strength in a steady state and is suitable for weight reduction as well as heightening.

Here, the energy amount U to be absorbed is
It is the amount of energy that needs to be absorbed by one frame designed from the design. The energy amount U is a value obtained by subtracting the amount of energy absorbed in a portion other than the frame from the amount of energy calculated at the total vehicle weight (vehicle body + occupant) and the expected velocity V at the time of collision. For example, in a frame used in front of a vehicle body, members other than the frame, such as exterior parts such as fenders and bonnets, bumpers, wheels, and the like, come into contact with parts other than the frame. The expected limit collision speed is JIS as a range that can be effectively used in industry.
A speed conforming to FMVSS-204 (American Motor Vehicle Safety Standard) indicated by D1060, specifically 50 km /
The time is right. The amount of energy absorbed by parts other than the frame cannot be unconditionally determined because it varies depending on the design concept of the vehicle body, and it is necessary to accurately measure the amount of energy absorbed in the prototype car model destruction test. In a test conducted by the present inventors using an existing passenger car in which the engine room is located in front of the passenger compartment, at least 70% of the collision energy under the above conditions is the exterior parts such as fenders, bonnets, bumpers, and engines. The structure was such that it was absorbed by members other than the frame, such as wheels, located in front of the vehicle body.

From the results of this test, in the case of the front part side impact absorbing frame of a passenger car in which the engine room is arranged in front of the passenger compartment which is usually manufactured, the speed is 50 km / h.

When an impact is applied to the impact absorbing member provided with the buckling deformation starting portion, overhang and folding are periodically repeated as shown in FIG. 3 (a), and this regular buckling deformation causes the impact. Be absorbed. The overhanging and folding cycles are shifted by a half cycle between the adjacent side surfaces L 1 and L 3 and the adjacent side surfaces L 2 and L 4 . As a result of investigations and studies on a method of absorbing shock by such buckling deformation, the present inventors have found that the hollow part of the shock absorbing frame is simply separated by a wall formed in the hollow part to obtain an outer diameter It has been found that even extruded profiles of the same size absorb a very large amount of impact energy. For example, in a frame in which the hollow portion is divided into three by partition walls, regular buckling deformation as shown in FIG. 3B occurs. That is, the side surfaces L 1 , L 22 ,
L 3, L 42 and the side surface L 21, L 23, L 41 , L 43 and projecting and shifted by a half period in Orekomi is periodically repeated in the longitudinal direction, a large amount of impact energy is absorbed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4 (a), the partition wall 7
When an impact is applied to the extruded shape member having the hollow portion divided by, the partition wall 7 is also deformed due to the buckling deformation of the outer surface.
It buckles and deforms as shown in. The partition wall 7 is associated with the deformation of the hollow portions A and B. For example, in the hollow portion A, since the upper surface and the lower surface are deformed into a concave shape, the partition wall 7
Deforms in the overhang direction. These buckling deformations occur periodically and continuously in the longitudinal direction of the extruded profile, and
The shape is as shown in (c). The absorbed energy at this time is represented by the sum of the absorbed energy by the hollow portion A and the absorbed energy by the hollow portion B, as shown in FIG. It was found that the amount was significantly larger than that of the extruded profile having the same outer shape. As a result of the research, the impact energy absorbed by the extruded profile as shown in FIG. 3A in which the interior is divided into a plurality of hollow parts by the partition wall is formed by the extruded profile S N having a shape surrounding each hollow part. It was found that the impact energy absorbed by each frame was equal to the added value. Further, the absorbed energy at this time absorbs an extremely large amount of impact energy as compared with an extruded shape member having the same outer shape and a single hollow portion by simply forming a partition wall that divides the hollow portion into a plurality. It is considered that this is because the partition wall acted extremely effectively for absorbing energy.

By the way, the impact energy U n (KN · m) absorbed by the frame formed of the extruded frame member having a single hollow portion is calculated by the above-mentioned formula (1) from the results of many experiments and verifications. It turned out to be calculated. That is, when the impact energy is to be absorbed by regular buckling in the axial direction of the frame, the elements that influence the amount of absorbed energy are the sectional shape (B, H, t) and the strength of the material (E, σ B , σ). 0.2 ). The present inventors have found that the amount of impact energy U absorbed from the experimental data under this assumption is U.
This is a formula (1) that approximates n . Formula (1)
Assumes that the limit collision speed required for the vehicle body in order to ensure the safety of occupants during a vehicle collision is 50 km / hour as described above, and therefore the collision speed is also assumed to be 50 km / hour. On the other hand, the amount of energy U T (KN · m) absorbed by the frame made of the extruded aluminum frame having a plurality of rectangular hollow portions that share the partition wall 7 as each outer wall is determined by numerous experiments and verifications. From the result, it was found that the sum of the absorbed energy amount U n of each hollow portion is calculated by the above-mentioned formula (2). Also in this case, the collision speed is assumed to be 50 km / hour.

A buckling start portion 6 was formed by forming a recess of m. A 400 mm long test piece is cut out from the extruded shape member with the buckling start part 6 applied, and an axial compressive load is applied by a hammer test in which a 4.8 KN weight is dropped to investigate the relationship between the load and the amount of displacement. did. As shown in FIG. 5C showing the examination result, it is understood that the displacement-compression load curve changes continuously and regularly, and the test piece undergoes periodic buckling deformation.

Become. In any case, compared with a frame material having the same outer shape and wall thickness and having a single hollow portion, a significantly larger average load P AV is exhibited and the absorbed energy becomes larger. In this way, the amount of energy U T (K T absorbed by the frame made of the extruded aluminum frame having a plurality of rectangular hollow portions that share the partition wall 7 as each outer wall.
It was verified / confirmed that N · m) is represented by the sum of the absorbed energy amount U n of each hollow portion, that is, the above-mentioned formula (2). Although the above-described shock absorbing mechanism has been mainly described with respect to the extruded material of the aluminum alloy, it is similarly applied to the iron material. In addition, the above-mentioned formula (A)
As described above, the amount of collision energy to be absorbed by one of the N shock absorbing frames used is 50 k / h.
