[0021] 1. The door ring structure of the present application is based on the research results of a large number of collision accidents, that is, the traditional split type door ring structure is prone to collision diagonal deformation, which breaks through the conventional limited thinking and redesigns the entire door ring structure. The door ring structure mainly adopts three measures, the first measure is that the door ring main body is integrally cast, which reduces the strength defects of the connection parts of the split type door ring structure, solves the problem of stress concentration, and the entire door ring structure has good rigidity and integrity and strong anti-deformation ability.

[0022] The second measure is that the front edge and the rear edge of the door ring body are wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, and the width of the four edges of the traditional door ring structure is basically consistent. The integrally formed door ring body of the application lays a strength foundation, so the width of the four edges is narrowed on the basis of meeting the crash performance, and the door ring structure is further optimized, and the door ring structure is optimized in terms of cost and weight.

[0023] The third measure is that, for the weakest position of the crash performance, a horizontal lying lower triangular reinforcing structure is formed at the front lower corner of the door ring body, and an inverted upper triangular reinforcing structure is arranged at the rear upper corner of the door ring body; the lower triangular reinforcing structure and the upper triangular reinforcing structure can prevent the door ring body from being deformed in a diagonal direction away from the two corners when the vehicle collides. After adopting the third measure, only the two front lower corners and the rear upper corner are reinforced with high pertinence, and compared with the traditional split type door ring structure, almost all the internal reinforcing plates of the door ring structure are reinforced, which greatly saves the processing time.

[0024] 2. The door ring structure of the application enhances the structural strength of the lower triangular reinforcing structure by additionally arranging a door ring inner reinforcing plate and an inner reinforcing lining plate on the inner surface of the integrally formed door ring body plate, the additional structure of the door ring structure of the application is highly pertinent, compared with the traditional split type door ring structure which increases reinforcing plates everywhere, the door ring structure is extremely optimized in design, and the performance-cost ratio is greatly improved. The door ring structure of the application sets the door ring body plate into a stepped first outer convex reinforcing rib and a second outer convex reinforcing rib at the lower triangular reinforcing structure, thereby enhancing the structural strength of the lower triangular reinforcing structure by the integrally formed door ring body itself, and the design is stable and reliable.

[0025] 3. In the lower triangular reinforcing structure of the door ring structure of the application, a first cavity is formed between the door ring inner reinforcing plate and the first outer convex reinforcing rib, and a second cavity is formed between the door ring inner reinforcing plate and the first inner cover plate, the two cavity structures not only can collapse and absorb energy when colliding, but also the three-layer structure of the first outer convex reinforcing rib, the door ring inner reinforcing plate and the first inner cover plate is connected stably, which can prevent the front edge of the door ring body, i.e. the A-pillar, from falling backward when a collision accident occurs, and further improves the crash performance.

[0026] 4. The vehicle door structure of the application comprises a vehicle door body and the above-mentioned door ring structure, the vehicle door body can be opened and closed relative to the door ring structure, a force transmission lining plate is fixed to the top inner side of the lower segment of the A-pillar by screws, and forms a force transmission structure with the plate body of the door ring body itself; a second inner cover plate is tightly arranged on the top inner side of the lower segment of the B-pillar, a door lock reinforcing plate is tightly arranged on the top outer side of the second inner cover plate, and the door lock reinforcing plate, the second inner cover plate and the plate body of the door ring body form a force transition structure; the vehicle door body is provided with a vehicle door anti-collision rod, and when the vehicle door is closed, the two ends of the vehicle door anti-collision rod correspond to the force transmission structure and the force transition structure respectively.

[0027] The door structure of this application is ingeniously designed, achieving the optimal configuration of the door ring structure. Furthermore, force transmission and force transition structures are set on both sides of the door anti-collision bar to further enhance collision performance and strengthen deformation resistance. In the event of a collision, the collision force of the force transmission structure of the A-pillar is transmitted to the force transition structure of the B-pillar through the door anti-collision bar, and then transmitted to the rear of the driver's cab through the force transition structure, ensuring the survival space between the A-pillar and the B-pillar.

Detailed Implementation

[0037] In order to make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and not used to limit the present application. In addition, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0038] As shown in Figures 2 to 7 The present application discloses an embodiment of a door ring structure of a commercial vehicle, which comprises a door ring body 100 integrally cast into shape. The conventional split door ring structure is prone to stress concentration at the disconnected position. When a collision occurs, the position of stress concentration is the weak point of collapse deformation and the weak point of anti-collision. The door ring structure of the present application is integrally formed, which reduces the strength defects of the connecting part of the split door ring structure, solves the problem of stress concentration, and has good rigidity and strong anti-deformation ability.

[0039] The front edge and the rear edge of the door ring body 100 are both wide at the bottom and narrow at the top. The structure of wide at the bottom and narrow at the top breaks the traditional structure of four square square structure, and compared with the conventional door ring structure with basically consistent four edge width, the present application adopts the structure of wide at the bottom and narrow at the top under the premise of meeting the anti-collision performance, which achieves the best door ring structure form, not only meets the lightweight requirement, but also saves the material cost.

[0040] The front lower corner of the door ring body 100 combines with the added structure to form a horizontal lying lower triangular reinforcing structure 1, i.e. the lower triangular reinforcing structure 1 comprises a door ring body plate and an added structure, and the lower triangular reinforcing structure 1 itself is more stable.

[0041] The rear upper corner of the door ring body 100 combines with the added structure to set an inverted upper triangular reinforcing structure 2; i.e. the upper triangular reinforcing structure 2 is composed of the plate of the door ring body 100 and the added structure, and the upper triangular reinforcing structure 2 itself is more stable.

[0042] The lower triangular reinforcing structure 1 and the upper triangular reinforcing structure 2 are used to prevent the door ring body 100 from diagonal deformation when the vehicle collides, mainly the diagonal deformation of the lower triangular reinforcing structure 1 and the upper triangular reinforcing structure 2 away from each other, i.e. the deformation from a rectangular door to a parallelogram.

[0043] The door ring structure of the present application is based on the research results of a large number of collision accidents, that is, the traditional split type door ring structure is prone to diagonal deformation in collision, and breaks through the conventional limited thinking to re-plan and design the entire door ring structure. The door ring structure mainly adopts three measures, the first measure is that the door ring body 100 is integrally cast into shape, which reduces the strength defects of the connection parts of the split type door ring structure, solves the problem of stress concentration, and the entire door ring structure has good rigidity and integrity and strong anti-deformation ability.

[0044] The second measure is that the front and rear edges of the door ring body 100 are wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, and the four edges of the traditional door ring structure are basically consistent in width. The integrally formed door ring body 100 of the present application lays a strength foundation, so the four edges are narrowed on the basis of meeting the crash performance, further optimizing the door ring structure, and achieving optimization of the door ring structure from the aspects of cost and weight.

[0045] The third measure is that, for the weakest position in terms of crash performance, a horizontal lying lower triangular reinforcing structure 1 is formed at the front lower corner of the door ring body 100, and an inverted upper triangular reinforcing structure 2 is arranged at the rear upper corner of the door ring body 100; the lower triangular reinforcing structure 1 and the upper triangular reinforcing structure 2 can prevent the door ring body 100 from diagonal deformation in which two opposite corners move away from each other when the vehicle collides. After adopting the third measure, only the two front lower corners and the rear upper corner are reinforced with high specificity, and compared with the traditional split type door ring structure, almost all internal reinforcing plates of the door ring structure are reinforced, greatly saving the processing time.

[0046] It is worth noting that the door ring structure has existed for many years, and the skilled person in the art basically does not consider designing and processing the door ring structure integrally, mainly because the mold is too large and the development cost is high. The skilled person in the art always focuses on saving the development cost of the mold, and denies the integrally processed door ring structure.

[0047] However, breaking the conventional thinking and starting from the overall cost performance, the door ring structure is adopted, and after actually processing, producing and assembling the door ring structure of the present application, it is found that the door ring structure of the present application not only improves the crash performance, but also only increases a little in cost, mainly because ① the door ring structure itself saves a large amount of material and the width is relatively narrowed, saving the cost; ② a large number of internal reinforcing plates are saved, saving a large amount of cost; ③ the door ring structure is convenient to assemble and install, saving a large amount of assembly cost. In summary, the cost of the door ring structure of the present application is increased, which is not too much compared with the cost of mold development.

[0048] For example, Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment, the added structure of the lower triangular reinforcement structure 1 includes the inner reinforcement plate 11 and the inner reinforcement lining plate 12. Specifically, the lower triangular reinforcement structure 1 includes the door ring main body plate, the inner reinforcement plate 11 and the inner reinforcement lining plate 12. The inner reinforcement plate 11 and the inner reinforcement lining plate 12 are both welded to the inner side of the door ring main body plate, and the inner reinforcement plate 11 is close to the front lower corner of the door ring main body 100, adjacent to the door opening 105. The inner reinforcement lining plate 12 is located in the front lower direction of the inner reinforcement plate 11.

[0049] Preferably, the inner reinforcement lining plate 12 includes six mounting holes, of which the two forward mounting holes are used to fix the door stopper, and the four rear mounting holes are used to fix the hinge reinforcement plate.

[0050] The door ring structure of the present application enhances the structural strength of the lower triangular reinforcement structure 1 by adding the inner reinforcement plate 11 and the inner reinforcement lining plate 12 to the inner surface of the integrally formed door ring main body plate. The added structure of the door ring structure of the present application is highly targeted, and compared with the traditional split door ring structure which adds reinforcement plates everywhere, the door ring structure is extremely optimized in design, greatly improving the performance-price ratio.

[0051] As shown, Figure 5 In one embodiment, the front lower corner of the door ring main body 100 is provided with the first outer convex reinforcement rib 13 and the second outer convex reinforcement rib 14. Specifically, the plate shape of the door ring main body itself is provided in the form of the first outer convex reinforcement rib 13 and the second outer convex reinforcement rib 14, and the outer convex height of the second outer convex reinforcement rib 14 is greater than that of the first outer convex reinforcement rib 13. The second outer convex reinforcement rib 14 extends upward, and the first outer convex reinforcement rib 13 is in the shape of an inverted T. The door ring main body 100 of the present application is also provided with various stepped transitions and the like at other places, fully utilizing the door ring main body itself to achieve optimal design in strength.

[0052] The door ring structure of the present application provides the door ring main body plate with the stepped first outer convex reinforcement rib 13 and the second outer convex reinforcement rib 14 at the lower triangular reinforcement structure 1, thereby enhancing the structural strength of the lower triangular reinforcement structure 1 through the integrally formed door ring main body itself, and achieving stable and reliable design.

[0053] Further, as shown, Figure 6 The inner reinforcement plate 11 is closely arranged on the first outer convex reinforcement rib 13, and a first cavity 16 is formed between the inner reinforcement plate 11 and the first outer convex reinforcement rib 13. The inner side of the inner reinforcement plate 11 is closely arranged with the first inner cover plate 15 of the door ring, and a second cavity 17 is formed between the inner reinforcement plate 11 and the first inner cover plate 15.

[0054] The first cavity 16 is formed between the lower triangular reinforcing structure 1, the inner reinforcing plate 11 of the door ring, and the first outer convex reinforcing rib 13, and the second cavity 17 is formed between the inner reinforcing plate 11 of the door ring and the first inner cover plate 15. The two cavity structures not only can collapse and absorb energy when colliding, but also the three-layer structure of the first outer convex reinforcing rib 13, the inner reinforcing plate 11 of the door ring, and the first inner cover plate 15 is connected stably, which can prevent the front edge of the door ring body 100, i.e., the A-pillar, from falling backward when a collision accident occurs, and further improve the crash performance.

[0055] As shown in Figure 2 , specifically, the middle of the door ring body 100 contains a door opening 105, the front edge of the door opening 105 is an A-pillar 101, the rear edge of the door opening 105 is a B-pillar 102, the lower edge of the door opening 105 is a door sill 103, and the upper edge of the door opening 105 is a top edge frame 104. The A-pillar 101 and the B-pillar 102 are vertically arranged, and the door sill 103 and the top edge frame 104 are horizontally arranged.

[0056] The lower triangular reinforcing structure 1 is located at the intersection of the A-pillar 101 and the door sill 103. The upper triangular reinforcing structure 2 is located at the intersection of the B-pillar 102 and the top edge frame 104.

[0057] The A-pillar 101 and the B-pillar 102 each contain two sections, the lower section of the A-pillar 101, the upper section of the B-pillar 102, and the lower section of the B-pillar 102 are uniform in width, the upper section of the A-pillar 101 gradually decreases from bottom to top, and the width of the upper section of the B-pillar 102 is smaller than the width of the lower section of the B-pillar 102. The width of the lower section of the B-pillar 102 is greater than the width of the lower section of the A-pillar 101.

[0058] The door ring structure of the present application is integrally cast to form a solid foundation, and on the basis of meeting the crash performance, personalized design is carried out, wide points are designed in places with large stress, narrow points are designed in places with small stress, and the narrow points are processed to be narrow, which not only realizes lightweight, but also reduces the manufacturing cost, achieves the purpose of optimal structure, and is more accurate and cost-effective compared with the traditional general design of split structure.

[0059] Specifically, the rear upper corner of the door ring body 100 is provided with a demolding opening, which facilitates demolding after integrally casting.

[0060] In one embodiment, the door ring structure further comprises a force transmission inner lining plate 31, which is fixed to the top inner side of the lower section of the A-pillar by screws and forms a force transmission structure 3. The force transmission inner lining plate 31 further comprises an energy-absorbing convex bump 311, and the A-pillar lower section top plate body of the energy-absorbing convex bump 311 forms an energy-absorbing cavity.

[0061] The door ring structure further comprises a second inner cover plate and a door lock reinforcing plate. The second inner cover plate is arranged in close contact with the top inner side of the lower section of the B pillar, and the door lock reinforcing plate is arranged in close contact with the top outer side of the second inner cover plate. The door lock reinforcing plate, the second inner cover plate and the top plate body of the lower section of the B pillar form a force transition structure 4. The door lock reinforcing plate is used for mounting a door lock.

[0062] The door ring structure of the present application strengthens the strength of the force transmission structure 3 by using the force transmission inner lining plate 31, and strengthens the strength of the force transition structure 4 by using the second inner cover plate and the door lock reinforcing plate, thereby further enhancing the crash performance.

[0063] Specifically, a hinge reinforcing plate is arranged at the front upper corner of the door ring body 100, and is used for connecting a structure component of the side wall located in front of the door opening.

[0064] The present application further discloses an embodiment of a vehicle door structure. The vehicle door structure comprises a vehicle door body and the above-mentioned door ring structure. The vehicle door body can be opened and closed relative to the door ring structure. The door ring structure comprises a door ring body 100, a force transmission inner lining plate 31, a second inner cover plate and a door lock reinforcing plate. The door ring body 100 is integrally formed, and the other structures are mounted at specific positions of the door ring body 100 to strengthen the structural strength of specific areas.

[0065] The door ring body 100 comprises an A pillar 101 and a B pillar 102. The force transmission inner lining plate 31 is fixed to the top inner side of the lower section of the A pillar by screws, and forms a force transmission structure 3 together with the plate body of the door ring body itself. The second inner cover plate is arranged in close contact with the top inner side of the lower section of the B pillar, and the door lock reinforcing plate is arranged in close contact with the top outer side of the second inner cover plate. The door lock reinforcing plate, the second inner cover plate and the plate body of the door ring body itself form a force transition structure 4.

[0066] The vehicle door body is provided with a vehicle door anti-collision rod 5. When the vehicle door is closed, the two ends of the vehicle door anti-collision rod 5 correspond to the force transmission structure 3 and the force transition structure 4 respectively.

[0067] The vehicle door structure of the present application is ingeniously designed, optimally configures the door ring structure, and further arranges the force transmission structure 3 and the force transition structure 4 on the two sides of the vehicle door anti-collision rod 5, thereby further enhancing the crash performance and the anti-deformation ability.

[0068] In one embodiment, the vehicle door structure further comprises a tool box cross beam and a door frame front side plate. The door frame front side plate is arranged at the front side of the A pillar 101, and the tool box cross beam is arranged at the rear side of the B pillar 102. The vehicle door body is hingedly fixed to the door frame front side plate, and the outer surface of the door lock reinforcing plate is provided with a lock body. When the vehicle door body is closed relative to the door ring structure, the lock cylinder of the vehicle door body matches the lock body. The vehicle door body can be opened and closed, and the opening and closing related structures are strengthened, thereby having strong anti-collision ability.

[0069] Regarding the vehicle door structure, as Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment, the added structure of the lower triangular reinforcement structure 1 includes the inner reinforcement plate 11 and the inner reinforcement lining plate 12. Specifically, the lower triangular reinforcement structure 1 includes the door ring main body plate body, the inner reinforcement plate 11 and the inner reinforcement lining plate 12. The inner reinforcement plate 11 and the inner reinforcement lining plate 12 are both welded to the inner side of the door ring main body plate body, and the inner reinforcement plate 11 is close to the front lower corner of the door ring main body 100, adjacent to the door opening 105. The inner reinforcement lining plate 12 is located in the front lower direction of the inner reinforcement plate 11.

[0070] Preferably, the inner reinforcement lining plate 12 includes six mounting holes, of which the two forward mounting holes are used to fix the door stopper, and the four rear mounting holes are used to fix the hinge reinforcement plate.

[0071] The door structure of the present application enhances the structural strength of the lower triangular reinforcement structure 1 by adding the inner reinforcement plate 11 and the inner reinforcement lining plate 12 to the inner surface of the integrally formed door ring main body plate body. The added structure of the door ring structure of the present application is highly targeted, and greatly improves the performance-price ratio compared to the traditional split door ring structure which increases reinforcement plates everywhere.

[0072] Regarding the door structure, as Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the front lower corner of the door ring main body 100 is provided with the first outer convex reinforcement rib 13 and the second outer convex reinforcement rib 14. Specifically, the plate body shape of the door ring main body itself is provided in the structural form of the first outer convex reinforcement rib 13 and the second outer convex reinforcement rib 14, and the outer convex height of the second outer convex reinforcement rib 14 is greater than that of the first outer convex reinforcement rib 13. The second outer convex reinforcement rib 14 extends upward, and the first outer convex reinforcement rib 13 is in the shape of an inverted T. The door ring main body 100 of the present application is also provided with various stepped transitions and the like structures elsewhere, fully utilizing the door ring main body itself to achieve optimal design of strength.

[0073] The door ring structure of the present application sets the door ring main body plate body to the stepped first outer convex reinforcement rib 13 and the second outer convex reinforcement rib 14 at the lower triangular reinforcement structure 1, thereby enhancing the structural strength of the lower triangular reinforcement structure 1 through the integrally formed door ring main body itself, and achieving stable and reliable design.

[0074] Regarding the door structure, further, as Figure 6 As shown, the inner reinforcement plate 11 is closely arranged on the first outer convex reinforcement rib 13, and a first cavity 16 is formed between the inner reinforcement plate 11 and the first outer convex reinforcement rib 13. The inner side of the inner reinforcement plate 11 is closely arranged with the first inner cover plate 15, and a second cavity 17 is formed between the inner reinforcement plate 11 and the first inner cover plate 15.

[0075] The first cavity 16 is formed between the lower triangular reinforcing structure 1, the inner reinforcing plate 11 of the door ring and the first outer convex reinforcing rib 13, and the second cavity 17 is formed between the inner reinforcing plate 11 of the door ring and the first inner cover plate 15. The two cavity structures can not only collapse and absorb energy during a collision, but also the three-layer structure of the first outer convex reinforcing rib 13, the inner reinforcing plate 11 of the door ring and the first inner cover plate 15 is connected stably, which can prevent the front edge of the door ring body 100, i.e. the A-pillar, from falling backward in a collision accident, and further improve the crash performance.

[0076] Regarding the door structure, the middle of the door ring body 100 contains a door opening 105, the A-pillar 101 is located at the front edge of the door opening 105, and the B-pillar 102 is located at the rear edge of the door opening 105; the lower edge of the door opening 105 is the rocker 103, and the upper edge of the door opening 105 is the top frame 104.

[0077] The lower triangular reinforcing structure 1 is located at the intersection of the A-pillar 101 and the rocker 103, and the upper triangular reinforcing structure 2 is located at the intersection of the B-pillar 102 and the top frame 104; both the A-pillar 101 and the B-pillar 102 include upper and lower sections, the lower section of the A-pillar 101, the upper section of the B-pillar 102 and the lower section of the B-pillar 102 have uniform widths, the upper section of the A-pillar 101 gradually decreases from bottom to top, and the width of the upper section of the B-pillar 102 is smaller than the width of the lower section of the B-pillar 102.

[0078] The door structure of the present application, the door ring body 100 of the door ring structure is integrally cast to form a solid foundation, and on the basis of meeting the crash performance, personalized design is carried out, wide points are designed in places with large stress, narrow points are designed in places with small stress, and the narrow points are processed to be narrow, which not only realizes lightweight, but also reduces the manufacturing cost, achieves the purpose of optimal structure, and is more accurate and cost-effective compared with the traditional general design of the split structure.
