Title:
STRUCTURAL MEMBER FOR RAILWAY VEHICLE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2010234986
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide a light structural member for a railway vehicle capable of jointing an outer plate and an outer plate reinforcing member without a restraining jig of a complicated mechanism.

In this structural member 11 for a railway vehicle, a bent portion 37 is formed at a tip of a flange part 35 of an outer plate reinforcing member 31, so as to improve rigidity at a jointed portion. Therefore, there is no need of restraint with a jig of a complicated shape, so that the outer plate reinforcing member 31 can be brought into contact with the outer plate 21 by a simple manner. In this structural member 11 for the railway vehicle, in view of a convergence angle of laser beams and a curvature radius of a corner part R2 formed by the flange part 35 and a web part 33, an angle formed by the corner part R2 is larger than 90°. Therefore, a laser welding part W can be formed near the corner part R2 at a flat portion 36 of the flange part 35. Thereby, a weight increase of the structure due to unnecessary restraint tolerance or welding tolerance can be avoided.
