Abstract

The bumper beam of the present invention includes a hollow tubular bumper reinforcement (1) and a hollow tubular crush box (2). A reinforcement hole (15) is formed to penetrate through an outer peripheral wall (11) of a bumper reinforcement (1). A partition wall (22) is provided in a bridging manner between opposing inner wall surfaces of the outer peripheral wall (21) of the crush can (2). The top end of the crush can (2) passes through the reinforcement hole (14). In this state, protrusions (25a), (25b) are formed in the circumferential direction on the front and rear sides of the reinforcement hole (15) of the crush can (2) by pipe expansion using a pipe expansion die. . In this way, the crush can (2) is fixed to the bumper reinforcement (1). According to the present invention, the size and weight of the bumper beam can be reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to, for example, a vehicle bumper beam provided at the front end and / or rear end of an automobile and a method of manufacturing the same. Background technique [0002] Set the bumper on the front end of the car. On the inside of the bumper, a bumper beam is provided to absorb the impact of a collision. [0003] The bumper beam generally includes a bumper reinforcement arranged in the vehicle width direction at the front of the vehicle, and a pair of left and right crush boxes that support the bumper reinforcement on the vehicle structure. The bumper beam absorbs crash energy by deforming itself. Damage to vehicle components other than the bumper beam is suppressed by absorbing the impact energy. [0004] In this type of bumper beam, the fixation of the bumper reinforcement and the crush box is mainly welded or bolted. In the case where the bumper reinforcement and the crush box are fixed by welding, the cost may increa...
