Abstract

A lightweight joining includes a first member that has a first surface and a second surface 1 b arranged on the back side of the first surface 1 a , and a second member made of a resin material, the first member having a first hole that extends through the first member between the first surface and the second surface, the second member covering a region including the first hole on the first surface of the first member, a region including the first hole on the second surface of the first member, and an inner wall of the first member formed by the first hole, the second member being thus joined to the first member, and the second member having a second hole a diameter of which is smaller than that of the first hole such that the second hole fits into the first hole.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A joining structure comprising:
a first member having a first surface and a second surface arranged on a back side of the first surface; and a second member made of a resin material, wherein the first member has a first hole that is formed so as to extend through the first member between the first surface and the second surface, the second member covers a region including the first hole on the first surface of the first member, the region including the first hole on the second surface of the first member, and an inner wall of the first member formed by the first hole, and is joined to the first member, and the second member has a second hole having a diameter smaller than that of the first hole, and the second hole is formed such that the second hole fits into the first hole.

2 . The joining structure according to claim 1 , wherein the resin material is a composite material containing fibers.

3 . The joining structure according to claim 1 , wherein the first member is made of a metal material.

4 . The joining structure according to claim 1 , wherein the second hole is coaxial with the first hole.

5 . The joining structure according to claim 1 , wherein the second hole is a through hole.

6 . The joining structure according to claim 1 , wherein the second hole is a non-through hole.

7 . The joining structure according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of first holes are formed in the first member and a plurality of second holes are correspondingly formed at regions in the second member corresponding to the plurality of first holes.

8 . A method of manufacturing a joining structure including a first member and a second member made of a resin material, the first and second members being joined to each other and the first member having a first hole extending through the first member, the method comprising:
placing the first member in a die for injection molding, the die having a protruding part a diameter of which being smaller than that of the first hole, the first member being placed in the die such that the protruding part fits into the first hole; filling the die with a melted thermoplastic resin material in a state where the first member is sandwiched in the die; and taking out, from the die, the first member formed in one piece with the second member with the melted thermoplastic resin material having cured.

9 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein the resin material is a composite material containing fibers.

10 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein the first member is made of a metal material.

11 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein the protruding part is formed such that the protruding part becomes coaxial with the first hole when the first member is placed in the die.

12 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein the protruding part is shaped such that a through hole is formed in a region of the second member corresponding to the first hole when the second member is formed.

13 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein the protruding part is shaped such that a non-through hole is formed in a region of the second member corresponding to the first hole when the second member is formed.

14 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein the die includes a core and a cavity, and the protruding part is formed in the cavity.
