Abstract

A plastic composite material panel includes a roof plate portion adhesively bonded to a first bonding portion provided in a vehicle body frame. A roof extension portion extends from an edge of the roof plate portion and is adhesively bonded to a second bonding portion provided in the vehicle body frame.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A plastic composite material panel, comprising:
a roof plate portion adhesively bonded to a first bonding portion provided in a vehicle body frame;
a roof extension portion that extends from an edge of the roof plate portion, the roof extension portion to be adhesively bonded to a second bonding portion provided in the vehicle body frame; and
a first material filling portion formed at an end of the roof extension portion;
wherein the roof plate portion includes a second material filling portion formed under the edge thereof and bonded to the first bonding portion through an adhesive;
wherein the roof extension portion includes a third material filling portion formed under an edge thereof and adhesively bonded to the second bonding portion; and
wherein the roof extension portion further includes a vehicle body seating portion formed between the second material filling portion and the third material filling portion with a smaller thickness than that of the second material filling portion and the third material filling portion.

2. The plastic composite material panel of claim 1 , wherein the roof extension portion extends from both side edges of the roof plate portion in a front-rear direction of a vehicle body to a side of the vehicle body frame.

3. The plastic composite material panel of claim 1 , wherein the first material filling portion is provided to have a shape having a cross-sectional width being gradually decreased from an upper side to a lower side.

4. The plastic composite material panel of claim 1 , wherein the second material filling portion is bonded to the first bonding portion provided a roof side or a side outer panel of a steel material of the vehicle body frame.

5. The plastic composite material panel of claim 1 , wherein thicknesses of the second material filling portion and the third material filling portion are greater than a thickness of the vehicle body seating portion, and are determined according to heights of the first bonding portion and the second bonding portion.

6. The plastic composite material panel of claim 1 , wherein the vehicle body seating portion overlies a protrusion portion protruding upward from the vehicle body frame.

7. The plastic composite material panel of claim 1 , wherein the third material filling portion is bonded to the second bonding portion provided on a side outer panel of a steel material or a side outer panel of plastic composite material, the side outer panel coupled to a roof side of the vehicle body frame.

8. The plastic composite material panel of claim 1 , further comprising a one position determining pin provided under a front edge or rear edge of the roof plate portion and vertically inserted into a reference hole formed in the vehicle body frame.

9. The plastic composite material panel of claim 8 , further comprising an insert bolt provided under the front edge or rear edge of the roof plate portion and fastened to a fastening hole formed in the vehicle body frame.

10. A vehicle comprising:
a vehicle body frame that includes a first bonding portion and a second bonding portion;
a roof plate portion adhesively bonded to the first bonding portion;
a roof extension portion that extends from an edge of the roof plate portion, the roof extension portion adhesively bonded to the second bonding portion; and
a first material filling portion formed at an end of the roof extension portion;
wherein the roof plate portion includes a second material filling portion formed under an edge thereof and bonded to the first bonding portion through an adhesive;
wherein the roof extension portion includes a third material filling portion formed under an edge thereof and adhesively bonded to the second bonding portion; and
wherein the roof extension portion further includes a vehicle body seating portion formed between the second material filling portion and the third material filling portion with a smaller thickness than that of the second material filling portion and the third material filling portion.

11. The vehicle of claim 10 , wherein the roof extension portion extends from both side edges of the roof plate portion in a front-rear direction of a vehicle body to a side of the vehicle body frame.

12. The vehicle of claim 10 , wherein the first material filling portion is provided to have a shape having a cross-sectional width being gradually decreased from an upper side to a lower side.

13. The vehicle of claim 10 , wherein the second material filling portion is bonded to the first bonding portion provided a roof side or a side outer panel of a steel material of the vehicle body frame.

14. The vehicle of claim 10 , wherein the third material filling portion is bonded to the second bonding portion provided on a side outer panel of a steel material or a side outer panel of plastic composite material, the side outer panel coupled to a roof side of the vehicle body frame.

15. The vehicle of claim 10 , further comprising a one position determining pin provided under a front edge or rear edge of the roof plate portion and vertically inserted into a reference hole formed in the vehicle body frame.

16. The vehicle of claim 15 , further comprising an insert bolt provided under a front edge or rear edge of the roof plate portion and fastened to a fastening hole formed in the vehicle body frame.

17. A plastic composite material panel, comprising:
a roof plate portion to be adhesively bonded to a first bonding portion provided in a vehicle body frame;
a roof extension portion that extends from an edge of the roof plate portion, the roof extension portion to be adhesively bonded to a second bonding portion provided in the vehicle body frame; and a first material filling portion formed at an end of the roof extension portion;
wherein the roof plate portion includes a second material filling portion formed under an edge thereof and bonded to the first bonding portion through an adhesive;
wherein the roof extension portion includes a third material filling portion formed under an edge thereof and adhesively bonded to the second bonding portion;
wherein the roof extension portion further includes a vehicle body seating portion formed between the second material filling portion and the third material filling portion with a smaller thickness than that of the second material filling portion and the third material filling portion;
wherein the roof extension portion extends from both side edges of the roof plate portion in a front-rear direction of a vehicle body to a side of the vehicle body frame; and
wherein the first material filling portion is provided to have a shape having a cross-sectional width being gradually decreased from an upper side to a lower side.

18. The plastic composite material panel of claim 17 , wherein thicknesses of the second material filling portion and the third material filling portion are greater than a thickness of the vehicle body seating portion, and are determined according to heights of the first bonding portion and the second bonding portion.

19. The plastic composite material panel of claim 17 , wherein the vehicle body seating portion is seated on a protrusion portion protruding upward from the vehicle body frame.

20. The plastic composite material panel of claim 17 , wherein the second material filling portion is bonded to the first bonding portion provided a roof side or a side outer panel of a steel material of the vehicle body frame.
