Description

Bumper fascia and its manufacturing method

The present disclosure relates to a bumper fascia provided on the front and rear parts of the vehicle body of an automobile and a manufacturing method thereof.

In recent years, from the viewpoint of weight reduction and cost reduction of products, it is frequently practiced to make automobile parts into resin molded products. Bumpers, which are always attached to the front and rear of the vehicle body, are no exception, and weight reduction is being carried out by using resin.

Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2012-166634) discloses a bumper for a vehicle and a molding method thereof. In this vehicle bumper, the plate thickness of the bumper center, where a plurality of gates are concentrated, is set small during injection molding, while the plate thickness of the bumper side is set large to create a different plate thickness distribution. It is said that it is possible to achieve both overall weight reduction and avoidance of deterioration in appearance due to occurrence of weld lines.

JP 2012-166634 A

As with the bumper fascia in Patent Document 1, if the thickness of the bumper center is reduced, there is a risk that the rigidity originally required for the bumper cannot be achieved. Moreover, in recent years, there has been a demand for not only weight reduction but also good appearance of bumpers. However, if there is a part with extremely thin plate thickness, if reinforcement ribs are integrally formed inside the bumper fascia by injection molding for the purpose of increasing rigidity, the injection molded resin will shrink when cooled. Due to the internal stress that is generated, there is a possibility that the external surface of the bumper fascia will have an appearance defect called a sink mark.

Furthermore, in the method of bonding reinforcing ribs molded separately to the inside of the bumper fascia with adhesive, frame treatment of the resin surface, base treatment such as plasma treatment, primer coating, adhesive application, adhesive curing, etc. It is necessary to carry out a plurality of steps for bonding surfaces having complicated shapes, which is disadvantageous in terms of cost.
