This application relates to the field of vehicle manufacturing technology, and discloses a door ring structure and a design method for the door ring structure. The door ring structure includes multiple door ring components, at least some of which have rounded corners. The multiple door ring components are sequentially connected to form a door ring structure with at least one annular door ring. The butt joint between two adjacent door ring components is located outside the area of the rounded corners on the door ring components. Applying the technical solution of this application can improve the strength of the door ring structure and reduce its weight. The door ring structure provided in this application is applied to the body of a vehicle.
