Vehicle pillar structure

Abstract

This vehicle pillar structure comprises a pillar main body, a separator, and an inserted member. The pillar main body has a closed cross-section that is continuous along the longitudinal direction. The separator: is installed inside the pillar main body so as to extend in a direction that intersects the longitudinal direction of the pillar main body; and partitions the inside of the pillar main body in the longitudinal direction into a plurality of spaces. The inserted member is arranged inside the pillar main body so as to extend along the longitudinal direction of the pillar main body and span the plurality of spaces. A filling hole that is for filling either of the plurality of spaces with a filler is provided in the pillar main body. A guide part that guides the inserted member into alocation at which the inserted member does not obstruct the filling hole is provided to the separator.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a pillar structure of a vehicle. Background technique [0002] As a pillar structure disposed on the side of a vehicle, etc., there is known a structure in which a pillar main body whose closed cross section is continuous in the longitudinal direction is filled with a filler such as foamed polyurethane (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). [0003] In the pillar structure described in Patent Document 1, a pillar inner plate constituting the pillar main body is provided with a filling hole for a filler, and the interior of the pillar main body is filled with a filler through the filling hole. In addition, a restricting member for restricting the flow of the filling material in the pillar main body in the longitudinal direction is provided inside the pillar main body. [0004] In addition, as a vehicle pillar structure, there is known a structure in which a drain pipe extending in the longitudinal direction of the p...

Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, a long penetrating member such as a drain pipe may hinder the flow of the filling material flowing from the filling hole inside the pillar main body.

Therefore, when a long penetrating member is arranged inside the pillar main body, it is considered that there is a possibility that the filling state of the filler with respect to the pillar main body becomes unstable.
