US 2022/0169359 A1 · JOINT STRUCTURE AND ASSEMBLY METHOD FOR SAME

Abstract

A joint structure includes a connection member provided between a reinforced member and a reinforcing member and connecting both of them to each other. The connection member includes a first coupling portion and a second coupling portion that are coupled to one and another of the reinforced member and the reinforcing member, respectively. The first coupling portion is coupled to a joint portion of one of the reinforced member and the reinforcing member by an adhesive or welding. The first coupling portion and the joint portion are shaped so as to be caught by each other in a joining direction in which the reinforced member and the reinforcing member are joined to each other.

A joint structure in which a reinforced member and a reinforcing member are coupled to each other, the joint structure comprising:

a connection member provided between the reinforced member and the reinforcing member and connecting the reinforced member and the reinforcing member to each other,
wherein the connection member includes a first coupling portion and a second coupling portion that are coupled to one and another of the reinforced member and the reinforcing member, respectively, and the first coupling portion is coupled to a joint portion of the one by an adhesive or welding, and
the first coupling portion and the joint portion are shaped so as to be caught by each other in a joining direction in which the reinforced member and the reinforcing member are joined to each other.

A method of assembling a joint structure in which a reinforced member and a reinforcing member are coupled to each other, the method comprising:

(A) preparing the reinforced member, the reinforcing member, and a connection member,
(B) coupling a first coupling portion of the connection member to one of the reinforced member and the reinforcing member, and coupling a second coupling portion of the connection member to another of the reinforced member and the reinforcing member,
wherein (B) includes:
arranging the first coupling portion and a joint portion of the one so as to be caught by each other in a joining direction in which the reinforced member and the reinforcing member are joined to each other;
and coupling the first coupling portion and the joint portion to each other by an adhesive or welding.
