Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a joining method and a joining structure. [Background technology]

[0002] In bolted joints, the diameter of the bolt hole in the plate is made larger than the bolt, taking into account manufacturing and installation errors. If the bolt hole is larger than the bolt diameter, a gap is formed between the bolt hole and the bolt, which may result in shear misalignment of the plate or loosening of the nut. To prevent such shear misalignment and loosening of the nut, a technique is known in which adhesive is filled into the gap. For example, Patent Document 1 describes reinforcing the adhesive with fiber. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2023-70424 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The fiber reinforcement mentioned above tends to be uneven and does not provide sufficient rigidity, which can lead to deformation of the adhesive and shear displacement of the plate when subjected to strong shear stress.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to improve rigidity. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to achieve this object, the present invention provides a joining method for joining a base member and a plate attached to the base member, the joining method comprising an insertion step of inserting a reinforcing member into a gap between a bolt and a bolt hole in the plate, a filling step of filling the gap with adhesive, and a fastening step of joining the base member and the plate with the bolt by fastening a nut onto the bolt, wherein the reinforcing member has a greater elastic modulus than the hardened adhesive.

[0007] Other features of the present invention will become apparent from the following description and drawings. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] According to the present invention, it is possible to improve rigidity. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0010] At least the following points will become clear from the description and drawings to be described later.

[0011] (Aspect 1) A joining method for joining a base member and a plate attached to the base member, the joining method comprising: an insertion step of inserting a reinforcing member into a gap between a bolt and a bolt hole in the plate; a filling step of filling the gap with adhesive; and a fastening step of fastening a nut onto the bolt to join the base member and the plate with the bolt, wherein the reinforcing member has a greater elastic modulus than the hardened adhesive.

[0012] According to the joining method of the first aspect, the adhesive and the reinforcing member, which has a high elastic modulus, are integrated in the gap, making the adhesive less likely to deform than when the adhesive is filled alone. This improves rigidity. Furthermore, when only the adhesive is filled, shrinkage during curing can cause voids to form, and residual stress can occur due to curing shrinkage. However, by inserting a reinforcing member into the gap, the proportion of the adhesive in the gap can be reduced, making it less likely that voids or residual stress will occur. Furthermore, by changing the material of the reinforcing member to match the type of adhesive, the adhesive's curing properties and workability can be improved.

[0013] (Aspect 2) In the joining method according to aspect 1, the reinforcing member is preferably made of metal.

[0014] According to the joining method of the second aspect, since the reinforcing member is made of metal, the reinforcing member has a high elastic modulus and is less likely to deform. Therefore, by using both an adhesive and a reinforcing member, rigidity can be increased (deformation of the adhesive can be suppressed).

[0015] (Aspect 3) In the joining method according to the first or second aspect, it is preferable that the reinforcing member is deformable in the axial direction of the bolt.

[0016] According to the joining method of the third aspect, plates of different thicknesses can be joined, and workability can be improved.

[0017] (Aspect 4) In the joining method according to aspect 3, it is desirable that the axial length of the reinforcing member is longer than the depth of the bolt hole and shorter than the length of the threaded portion of the bolt.

[0018] According to the joining method of the fourth aspect, the reinforcing member can be accommodated in the gap in an elastically deformed state.

[0019] (Aspect 5) In the joining method according to the first or second aspect, it is preferable that the reinforcing member is configured in a cylindrical shape.

[0020] According to the joining method of the fifth aspect, a reinforcing member can be placed in the gap between the bolt and the bolt hole.

[0021] (Aspect 6) In the joining method according to aspect 5, it is preferable that the reinforcing member has a through-hole that penetrates in the radial direction.

[0022] According to the joining method of the sixth aspect, the adhesive can easily find its way into the gap between the bolt and the reinforcing member, so that the adhesive can be filled evenly into the entire gap (inside and outside the reinforcing member).

[0023] (Aspect 7) A joining structure comprising: a base member; a plate having a bolt hole and attached to the base member; a bolt inserted into the bolt hole of the plate to join the base member and the plate; a nut fastened to the bolt; a reinforcing member inserted into the gap between the bolt and the bolt hole; and an adhesive filled in the gap, wherein the reinforcing member has a greater elastic modulus than the hardened adhesive.

[0024] According to the joining structure of the seventh aspect, by disposing the adhesive and the reinforcing member in the gap between the bolt and the bolt hole, the adhesive is less likely to deform, thereby improving rigidity.

[0025] In the following description, the same or equivalent components, members, etc. shown in each drawing will be denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant explanations may be omitted as appropriate.

[0026] ===First Embodiment=== <<About joint structure>> 1 is a perspective view (partially exploded view) of a joint structure 100 of a first embodiment. In the following description, the direction parallel to the axis of the bolt 30 of the joint structure 100 may be referred to as the "axial direction" (or thickness direction). In addition, in the axial direction, the end of the bolt 30 on which the nut 40 is attached may be referred to as the "tip side," and the end on the opposite side may be referred to as the "base side."

[0027] 2 is a view of the joint structure 100 as seen from the axial tip side. Also, Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in Fig. 2. Note that Fig. 2 shows only a portion of the joint structure 100 formed, with the remainder showing a state in which the bolt 30 has been inserted into the bolt hole 21 of the plate 10 (a state prior to fastening with the nut 40). Also, Fig. 3 shows a side view of everything other than the base member 10 and the plate 20 (the bolt 30, the nut 40, etc.).

[0028] The joining structure 100 of this embodiment includes a base member 10, a plate 20, a bolt 30, a nut 40, a washer 50, and a spring 60. As shown in Fig. 3, an adhesive 70 is filled in the gap between the bolt 30 and the bolt hole 21 (gap S, which will be described later).

[0029] The base member 10 is a member to be joined. The base member 10 is also called a base material. Here, the base member 10 is a steel material such as an H-shaped steel or a steel plate used for pillars and beams of a building frame. However, the base member 10 is not limited to a steel material, and may be, for example, foundation concrete.

[0030] The plate 20 is a plate-like member that is spliced ​​to the base member 10. The plate 20 is also called a splice plate, a backing plate, a reinforcing plate, etc. Here, the plate 20 is a steel splice plate (for example, a gusset plate) that is spliced ​​to the base member 10 (steel material).

[0031] The plate 20 has a bolt hole 21. The bolt hole 21 is a circular hole for inserting a bolt 30, and is a hole (through hole) that penetrates the plate 20 in the thickness direction. The bolt hole 21 is also called a loose hole. The plate 20 has a plurality of bolt holes 21 (four in FIG. 2). However, the number of bolt holes 21 formed in the plate 20 is not limited to a plurality, and may be one. In FIG. 3, the diameter of the bolt hole 21 is shown as D0.

[0032] The plate 20 also has flow path holes 22. The flow path holes 22 are holes for injecting or discharging an adhesive 70 (described later). As shown in FIG. 2, the flow path holes 22 are provided corresponding to the bolt holes 21. Specifically, the flow path holes 22 are opened on the end face (the surface on the leading end side in the axial direction) of the plate 20 in the thickness direction so as not to overlap with the washer 50 (at a position away from the bolt holes 21), bent in an L shape inside the plate 20 (see FIGS. 1 and 3), and connected to the corresponding bolt holes 21 (communicating through the gap S). Note that in FIG. 2, the openings of all the flow path holes 22 are located on a predetermined side (here, the lower side of the drawing) with respect to the corresponding bolt holes 21, but the positional relationship between the openings of the flow path holes 22 and the bolt holes 21 is not limited thereto. For example, the opening positions of the flow path holes 22 may be different for each bolt hole 21. Furthermore, for example, the flow path holes 22 may be opened on a side surface (a surface parallel to the axial direction) of the plate 20 (the flow paths may be linear).

[0033] The bolt 30 is a rod-shaped member having a threaded portion 31. The bolt 30, together with the nut 40, serves as a joining member that joins the base member 10 and the plate 20. Here, the bolt 30 is configured as a stud bolt, and has a threaded portion 31 (male thread) at its end (here, the axial tip). One end (axial base end) of the bolt 30 (stud bolt) is welded to the base member 10, which serves as the base material. Note that the bolt 30 is not limited to a stud bolt, and does not have to be fixed to the base member 10 by welding. For example, the bolt 30 may be an anchor bolt provided in the foundation concrete (base member 10).

[0034] Bolt 30 is inserted through bolt hole 21 of plate 20. Also, in FIG. 3, the base end (lower end in the figure) of bolt 30 is fixed to base member 10, and the tip end (upper end in the figure) of bolt 30 protrudes from the opening of bolt hole 21. Here, a collar 32 (flash: see FIG. 4A) made of molten metal is formed at the base end of bolt 30. No threaded portion 31 is provided where collar 32 is formed. Note that threaded portion 31 may be provided along the entire length of bolt 30. In FIG. 3, the diameter of threaded portion 31 of bolt 30 is shown as D1. Also, in FIG. 3, the diameter of the base end (collar 32) of bolt 30 is shown as D2. Diameter D2 of the base end of bolt 30 is larger than diameter D1 of threaded portion 31.

[0035] 3, diameters D1 and D2 of bolt 30 are smaller than diameter D0 of bolt hole 21 in plate 20. If the diameter of bolt hole 21 is D0, the diameter of threaded portion 31 of bolt 30 is D1, and the diameter of collar 32 of bolt 30 is D2, then D0 > D1 and D0 > D2. Therefore, a gap S is formed between bolt 30 and bolt hole 21 as shown in FIG.

[0036] In this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 3, the gap S is filled with adhesive 70. Filling the gap between the bolt 30 and the bolt hole 21 with adhesive 70 allows force to be transmitted by a pressure-bearing joint without play, resulting in an efficient joint structure. However, if only adhesive 70 is used, there is a risk that the filled adhesive 70 will deform when subjected to a strong shear force (which may cause shear displacement of the plate 20). Therefore, in this embodiment, a spring 60 is also placed in the gap S as a reinforcing member. Details of the spring 60 and adhesive 70 will be described later.

[0037] The nut 40 is a member attached to the tip side of the bolt 30, and has a threaded portion 41 (female thread) that screws together with the threaded portion 31 (male thread) of the bolt 30. The nut 40, together with the bolt 30, serves as a joining member that joins the base member 10 and the plate 20. By fastening the nut 40 to the bolt 30, the base member 10 and the plate 20 are joined by the bolt.

[0038] The washer 50 is disposed between the nut 40 and the plate 20. The washer 50 is sometimes called a washer. The washer 50 of this embodiment is a square washer having a rectangular planar shape. The washer 50 is not limited to a square washer, and may have other shapes (for example, a round washer having a circular planar shape). The washer 50 of this embodiment also has a through hole 51 and a flow path hole 52.

[0039] Similar to the bolt hole 21 of the plate 20, the through hole 51 is a hole for inserting the bolt 30 (threaded portion 31), and penetrates the washer 50 in the thickness direction at the center of its plane.

[0040] The flow path hole 52 is a hole for injecting or discharging the adhesive 70, which will be described later. The flow path hole 52 is opened on an end face in the thickness direction of the washer 50 (the end face on the tip side in the axial direction), is bent in an L shape inside the washer 50, and communicates with the gap S between the bolt 30 and the bolt hole 21 (having a flow path communicating with the gap S). However, this is not limiting, and the flow path hole 52 may be opened on a side surface of the washer 50 (a surface parallel to the axial direction), for example (the flow path may be linear).

[0041] The spring 60 (corresponding to a reinforcing member) is a coil-shaped member that is inserted into the gap S. The spring 60 is a member that promotes filling of the gap S with the adhesive 70, and by being placed in the gap S, suppresses deformation of the adhesive 70 and increases its rigidity. For this reason, the spring 60 is made of a material that is more rigid than the compact of the adhesive 70 (hardened adhesive 70) that is filled into the gap S. In this embodiment, the spring 60 is mainly made of steel, but may also be made of carbon or the like.

[0042] Since the spring 60 is inserted into the gap S, the inner diameter is larger than the diameter D2 of the bolt 30 (collar 32) and the outer diameter is smaller than the diameter D0 of the bolt hole 21.

[0043] Furthermore, the spring 60 is deformable in the height direction (here, the axial direction). The height (natural length) of the spring 60 is greater than the thickness L of the plate 20 (see FIG. 3) (in other words, longer than the depth of the bolt hole 21) and shorter than the length of the threaded portion 31 of the bolt 30. Furthermore, the height of the spring 60 when compressed (maximum compressed) is smaller than the thickness L of the plate 20. In other words, in FIG. 3, the spring 60 is housed in the gap S in an axially compressed state. However, the height of the spring 60 may be equal to or less than the thickness L of the plate 20. In that case, the spring 60 will be housed in the gap S without being compressed.

[0044] The adhesive 70 is a filler that fills the gap S, and a curable composition can be used.

[0045] The curable composition may be one or a combination of two or more selected from an acrylic adhesive, an epoxy adhesive, a modified silicone adhesive, a silicone adhesive, a urethane adhesive, or a polyester adhesive.

[0046] The curable composition may also be one or a combination of two or more selected from one-component heat-curing epoxy adhesives, one-component moisture-curing acrylic-modified silicone adhesives, one-component moisture-curing modified silicone adhesives, two-component mixture-curing modified silicone adhesives, one-component moisture-curing silicone adhesives, two-component mixture-curing silicone adhesives, two-component mixture-curing epoxy-modified silicone adhesives, two-component mixture-curing epoxy adhesives, one-component anaerobic-curing acrylic adhesives, two-component mixture-curing acrylic adhesives, one-component moisture-curing urethane adhesives, two-component mixture-curing urethane adhesives, and hot melt adhesives.

[0047] That is, the adhesive 70 can be made of a variety of commonly used curable compositions, and from the viewpoint of application, the curing conditions can be appropriately selected and applied, such as one-component or two-component.

[0048] In the case of a two-component adhesive, it is particularly preferable to use one of the following adhesives as the curable composition. Two-component moisture-curing epoxy-modified silicone adhesive Two-component mixed curing epoxy adhesive Two-component curing acrylic adhesive Two-component curing urethane adhesive - It is even better if the material does not lose its elastic modulus in high temperature environments.

[0049] Among the above, a two-component mixed curing type acrylic adhesive is more preferable because it is stable and is less likely to cause curing defects.

[0050] In the case of a two-component adhesive, it is advisable to inject the adhesive using a dedicated injection device that has containers (cartridges) for storing the two components and is capable of mixing and extruding the two components.

[0051] It is desirable to use two-component curable compositions whose cured product has an elastic modulus of 10 MPa or more, preferably 100 MPa or more (more preferably 300 MPa or more) in the cured state, as measured in accordance with JIS K 7161. If a composition having an elastic modulus of 10 MPa or less is used, the composition will have high flexibility and excellent deformation performance, but will have low rigidity and will not easily exhibit high yield strength.

[0052] Furthermore, it is desirable to use two-component curable compositions having a glass transition temperature (Tg) of 50°C or higher, preferably 70°C or higher (more preferably 90°C or higher) as the cured product. Curable compositions made of organic resins have the property of being hard at low temperatures and soft at high temperatures. Therefore, by using a composition having a glass transition temperature of 50°C or higher, the bonded structure can maintain the same performance as at room temperature even when exposed to high environmental temperatures.

[0053] In the case of a one-component adhesive, it is particularly preferable to use any of the adhesives listed below as the curable composition. One-component heat-curing epoxy adhesive One-component anaerobic curing acrylic adhesive Hot melt adhesive - It is even better if the material does not lose its elastic modulus in high temperature environments.

[0054] After filling, the one-component heat-curing epoxy adhesive and one-component anaerobic-curing acrylic adhesive listed above can be hardened by heating the base member 10, plate 20, or bolt 30 using a heating device such as a high-frequency induction heater (IH heater) or a heat gun. Also, a hot-melt adhesive made of a thermoplastic resin can be heated in advance to liquefy it before filling, and then injected (filled) using a dedicated dispenser.

[0055] It is desirable to use one of these one-component curable compositions whose cured product has an elastic modulus of 10 MPa or more, preferably 100 MPa or more (more preferably 300 MPa or more) in the cured state, as measured in accordance with JIS K 7161. If a composition having an elastic modulus of 10 MPa or less is used, the composition will have high flexibility and excellent deformation performance, but will have low rigidity and will not easily exhibit high yield strength.

[0056] Furthermore, it is desirable to use one of these one-component curable compositions with a glass transition temperature (Tg) of 50°C or higher, preferably 70°C or higher (more preferably 90°C or higher) as the cured product. A curable composition made of an organic resin has the property of being hard at low temperatures and soft at high temperatures. Therefore, by using a composition with a glass transition temperature of 50°C or higher, the bonded structure can maintain the same performance as at room temperature even when exposed to a high environmental temperature.

[0057] <<Joining method>> Next, the joining method of this embodiment (the method for manufacturing the joining structure 100) will be described.

[0058] 4A to 4E are explanatory diagrams of a joining method in the joint structure 100 of the first embodiment.

[0059] First, as shown in FIG. 4A, a worker fixes (stud welds) bolts 30 (stud bolts) to predetermined positions on the base member 10.

[0060] Next, as shown in FIG. 4B , the worker inserts bolt 30 into bolt hole 21 to splice plate 20 to base member 10 (splicing step). As a result, the tip of bolt 30 protrudes from bolt hole 21 in plate 20. Because diameters D1 and D2 of bolt 30 are smaller than diameter D0 of bolt hole 21 in plate 20, when bolt 30 is inserted into bolt hole 21 in plate 20, a gap (gap S) is formed between bolt 30 and bolt hole 21. In addition, flow path hole 22 in plate 20 forms a flow path (flow path for adhesive 70) that communicates with gap S.

[0061] Next, as shown in FIG. 4C , the worker inserts spring 60 into gap S between bolt 30 and bolt hole 21 (insertion process). Note that the height (natural length) of spring 60 is longer than the depth of bolt hole 21 (here, this corresponds to thickness L of plate 20). Therefore, when spring 60 is inserted into gap S, one end (upper end in the figure) of spring 60 protrudes from the opening of bolt hole 21, as shown in the figure. In addition, the height of spring 60 is shorter than the length of bolt 30. Therefore, the tip of bolt 30 (upper end in the figure) protrudes from the upper end side of spring 60.

[0062] Next, the worker attaches the washer 50 and the nut 40 to the tip of the bolt 30 protruding from the spring 60. That is, the worker inserts the bolt 30 into the through-hole 51 of the washer 50 and screws the nut 40 onto the bolt 30 (threaded portion 31). As a result, the spring 60 is sandwiched between the bottom of the bolt hole 21 (here, the upper surface of the base member 10) and the nut 40 (washer 50).

[0063] 4D, the worker tightens and fastens the nut 40 (fastening step). By fastening the nut 40, the spring 60 is compressed (elastically deformed), and the base member 10 and the plate 20 are bolt-joined. That is, by fastening the nut 40 to the bolt 30, a pressure-bearing joint without loosening is achieved.

[0064] Next, as shown in Fig. 4E, the worker injects adhesive 70 from flow path hole 52. The injected adhesive 70 passes through a flow path from flow path hole 52 to gap S, and fills gap S.

[0065] The worker also checks that the adhesive 70 is discharged (flows out) from the flow path hole 22. This indicates that the gap S between the bolt 30 and the bolt hole 21 has been filled with the adhesive 70.

[0066] In this embodiment, the adhesive 70 is injected through the flow path hole 52 of the washer 50 and discharged (flowed out) through the flow path hole 22 of the plate 20, but this is not limiting. For example, depending on the situation, the adhesive 70 may be injected through the flow path hole 22 and discharged (flowed out) through the flow path hole 52.

[0067] Incidentally, if adhesive 70 is directly injected (filled) into the gap S between the bolt 30 and the bolt hole 21 before fastening with the nut 40, the adhesive 70 may be injected upward or sideways depending on the orientation of the bolt 30. For example, if the tip of the bolt 30 is facing vertically downward, the adhesive 70 will be injected vertically upward. In this case, there is a risk that the adhesive 70 injected into the gap S will leak out, making the application difficult. For this reason, application variations and insufficient filling are likely to occur depending on the skill level of the worker. Injecting the adhesive sideways is also difficult.

[0068] In contrast, in this embodiment, after fastening with the nut 40, the adhesive 70 is injected into the gap S from the flow path hole 52. Therefore, the adhesive 70 does not flow out of the gap S, and the adhesive 70 can be easily and reliably filled, improving workability. For example, even when the adhesive 70 is injected upward or sideways, the adhesive 70 can be reliably filled into the gap S between the bolt 30 and the bolt hole 21, regardless of the worker's level of skill.

[0069] In addition, in this embodiment, since an injection hole and a discharge hole (flow path hole 22 and flow path hole 52) for the adhesive 70 are provided, the adhesive 70 can be filled into the gap S without leaving any voids (dense filling is possible). In addition, it is possible to determine when filling is complete, making construction management easier.

[0070] Furthermore, in this embodiment, when a two-component adhesive is used as the adhesive 70, the two components can be mixed and injected, making it less likely that poor curing will occur due to uneven mixing. In particular, acrylic two-component formulations are stable and less likely to cause poor curing.

[0071] Furthermore, in this embodiment, not only the adhesive 70 but also a spring 60 having a higher elastic modulus than the hardened adhesive 70 is inserted (placed) in the gap S between the bolt 30 and the bolt hole 21. This makes it possible to suppress deformation of the adhesive 70 and improve rigidity. Furthermore, by using the spring 60, elastic deformation in the height direction (thickness direction) can be achieved, so that plates 20 with different thicknesses L can be accommodated, improving workability.

[0072] <<Modification of reinforcing member>> In the above-described embodiment, the spring 60 is used as the reinforcing member, but the present invention is not limited to this. Modified examples of the reinforcing member will be described below.

[0073] <About the material> As mentioned above, the reinforcing member is preferably made of a material with a higher elastic modulus than the molded body obtained by hardening the filled adhesive 70, and for example, a plastic member or a metal member can be used. Specifically, the plastic member is preferably an engineering plastic, and preferably a super engineering plastic. The metal member can be made of almost any metal, and inexpensive iron is particularly preferable.

[0074] When using a reinforcing member to improve the curing properties of the adhesive 70 (curable composition), it is desirable to select the material based on the type of resin (adhesive) used or the curing form. For example, when using an acrylic adhesive, it is desirable to use a metal containing metal ions that can promote radical polymerization through a redox reaction, such as iron, cobalt, copper, manganese, or vanadium, whose surface is the base material. Furthermore, when using a one-component heat-sensitive adhesive, the heating effect of a high-frequency induction heater (IH heater) can be enhanced by using a reinforcing member made of a metal with high thermal conductivity or a conductor (ferrite) that is more magnetic than the base member 10, bolt 30, or plate 20.

[0075] <About the shape> FIG. 5A is a diagram showing a modified example of the reinforcing member (cylindrical member 61), and FIG. 5B is a diagram showing another modified example (cylindrical member 62).

[0076] The cylindrical members 61 and 62 are each a cylindrical member (reinforcing member) made of metal. As shown in the figure, the cylindrical members 61 and 62 have a plurality of through-holes (corresponding to through-holes) that penetrate the cylindrical members in the radial direction. For example, the cylindrical member 61 has a plurality of circular through-holes 61a formed (punched), and the cylindrical member 62 has a plurality of honeycomb-shaped (regular hexagonal) through-holes 62a. Although not shown, the cylindrical members may also be mesh-processed. By providing a plurality of through-holes that penetrate the cylindrical members in the radial direction, the liquid adhesive 70 can easily flow into the inside of the cylinder when injected. Therefore, the adhesive 70 can be filled evenly into the gaps S (outside and inside of the cylindrical members). In the case of the spring 60 of the first embodiment, the adhesive 70 flows through the gaps between the coil-shaped springs, so the adhesive 70 can be filled evenly into the outside and inside of the spring 60.

[0077] The inner diameter of the cylindrical members 61, 62 is larger than the diameter of the bolt 30 (here, the diameter D2 of the collar 32), and the outer diameter is smaller than the diameter D0 of the bolt hole 21. This allows them to be inserted into the gap S between the bolt 30 and the bolt hole 21.

[0078] When using cylindrical member 61 or cylindrical member 62, it is necessary to prepare one whose height (length of the cylinder) is equal to or less than the thickness L of plate 20. On the other hand, when using the above-mentioned spring 60, the spring characteristic of being able to control the compression length is utilized, and one type of spring can be used for multiple plates 20 of different thicknesses, improving workability.

[0079] Furthermore, the reinforcing member is not limited to the examples described above (springs and cylindrical members). For example, it may be a C-shaped cylindrical member when viewed from above. It may also be filled with small beads or flakes of metal material (in this case, the gaps between the beads, etc. can be filled with liquid adhesive 70). It may also be possible to wrap wire or the like around the bolt 30. Even in these cases, by using them in combination with adhesive 70, rigidity can be increased compared to when only adhesive 70 is filled, and shear displacement of plate 20 due to deformation of adhesive 70 can be suppressed.

[0080] === Second Embodiment === <<About joint structure>> FIG. 6 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a joint structure 110 according to the second embodiment.

[0081] The joint structure 110 of the second embodiment includes a base member 10A, a plate 20A, a bolt 30A, a nut 40, a washer 50, and a spring 60.

[0082] The bolt 30A in the second embodiment is a through bolt (for this reason, one end of the bolt 30A is not welded to the base member 10A).

[0083] In the second embodiment, the base member 10A is provided with bolt holes 11.

[0084] Furthermore, the plate 20A of the second embodiment is provided with bolt holes 21 at positions corresponding to the bolt holes 11. Note that the plate 20A of the second embodiment does not have holes corresponding to the flow path holes 22 of the plate 20 of the first embodiment.

[0085] The base member 10A and the plate 20A are sandwiched between a pair of washers 50 and fastened together by threading nuts 40 onto bolts 30A.

[0086] As described above, bolt 30A is a through bolt and has threaded portion 31A and head portion 32A. Threaded portion 31A of bolt 30A is longer than threaded portion 31 of bolt 30 of the first embodiment. Specifically, it is longer than the total thickness L' of base member 10A and plate 20A shown in FIG. 6.

[0087] The bolt 30A is inserted from the side of the base member 10A (the side opposite to the plate 20A) and is inserted through the bolt holes 11 and 21 of the base member 10A and the plate 20A, respectively.

[0088] The washer 50 is the same member as in the first embodiment, and has a through hole 51 and a flow path hole 52. In the second embodiment, a pair of washers 50 are provided to sandwich the base member 10A and the plate 20A in the thickness direction. Then, the base member 10A, the plate 20A, and the pair of washers 50 are fastened by threading a nut 40 onto the bolt 30A.

[0089] The spring 60 is a steel member (reinforcing member) similar to that in the first embodiment. In the second embodiment, a gap (gap S' shown in FIG. 7B etc.) is formed between the bolt 30A and the bolt holes 11, 21, and the spring 60 is disposed in this gap S'. That is, in the second embodiment, the spring 60 is also disposed in the gap between the bolt hole 11 of the base member 10A and the bolt 30A. Furthermore, the gap S' is filled with adhesive 70.

[0090] The height (natural length) of spring 60 is greater than the total thickness L' of base member 10A and plate 20A (in other words, greater than the depth of bolt holes 11, 21), and shorter than the length of threaded portion 31A of bolt 30A. Furthermore, the height of spring 60 when compressed (maximum compressed) is smaller than thickness L'.

[0091] It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the spring 60, and reinforcing members such as cylindrical members 61 and 62 may be arranged as in the modified example of the first embodiment.

[0092] 7A to 7E are explanatory diagrams of a joining method in the joint structure 110 of the second embodiment.

[0093] First, as shown in FIG. 7A, the worker attaches plate 20A to base member 10A so that bolt holes 11 of base member 10A and bolt holes 21 of plate 20A overlap.

[0094] 7B, the worker inserts bolt 30A through bolt hole 11 and bolt hole 21 via washer 50. That is, bolt 30A is inserted through through hole 51 of washer 50, bolt hole 11 of base member 10, and bolt hole 21 of plate 20.

[0095] 7C, the worker inserts (places) spring 60 into gap S' between bolt 30 and bolt holes 11, 21. Because the height (natural length) of spring 60 is greater than the total thickness L' of base member 10A and plate 20A, one end of spring 60 (the end on the tip side of bolt 30A) protrudes from the opening of bolt hole 21.

[0096] 7D, the worker attaches the nut 40 to the threaded portion 31 of the bolt 30A via the washer 50, and then tightens the nut 40. As a result, the spring 60 is disposed in a compressed state between the pair of washers 50 in the gap S'.

[0097] 7E, adhesive 70 is injected from the flow path hole 52 of one of the pair of washers 50 to fill the gap S' with adhesive 70. Then, it is confirmed that adhesive 70 is discharged (flows out) from the other flow path hole 52 of the pair of washers 50.

[0098] At this time, it is desirable to inject the adhesive 70 from the flow path hole 52 of the washer 50 that is positioned vertically lower out of the pair of washers 50. This allows the adhesive 70 to fill the gap S' without leaving any voids.

[0099] ===Other embodiments=== The above-described embodiments are intended to facilitate understanding of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. The present invention may be modified or improved without departing from the spirit thereof, and it goes without saying that the present invention includes equivalents thereof. In particular, the following embodiments are also included in the present invention.

[0100] In the first embodiment, a flow path hole 22 is provided in the plate 20, a flow path hole 52 is provided in the washer 50, and adhesive 70 is injected into the gap S from one of the flow path hole 22 and the flow path hole 52, but the flow path hole 22 and the flow path hole 52 may be omitted.

[0101] In this case, for example, after placing (inserting) spring 60 in gap S (after FIG. 4C ), adhesive 70 can be directly injected (filled) into gap S, and nut 40 can be fastened to bolt 30 via a washer without a flow path hole. Alternatively, adhesive 70 can be injected (filled) into gap S first, and then spring 60 can be inserted into gap S. The same applies to the second embodiment (through bolt).
