[0028] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0029] The following is for reference. Figures 1-2 A door assembly 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described, the door assembly 1 being mounted on a vehicle.

[0030] According to the first aspect of the embodiment of the vehicle door assembly 1, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the door assembly 1 may include: an inner door panel, an outer door panel, and a door lock mechanism 20. The inner door panel and the outer door panel are arranged and connected along a first direction. A window regulator 30 and an inner door panel reinforcement plate 10 are disposed between the inner door panel and the outer door panel. The door lock mechanism 20 is installed between the inner door panel and the outer door panel. The door lock mechanism 20 includes a door lock body 21, a disconnection structure 22, and a first push structure 23. The door lock body 21 is fixedly connected to the inner door panel reinforcement plate 10. The door lock body 21 and the window regulator 30 are disposed opposite each other along the first direction. The disconnection structure 22 is adapted to disconnect the connection between the door lock body 21 and the inner door panel reinforcement plate 10. The first push structure 23 is adapted to push the door lock body 21 to move along a second direction so that the door lock body 21 and the window regulator 30 are offset along the first direction. The first direction and the second direction are perpendicular.

[0031] It should be noted that in the relevant technology, the vehicle door lock mechanism and the window regulator are both fixed between the inner door panel and the outer door panel. Along the first direction, the door lock mechanism and the window regulator are overlapped and do not move. When the door is impacted, the outer door panel presses against the door lock mechanism, the door lock mechanism presses against the window regulator, and the window regulator presses against the inner door panel. The energy absorption space is insufficient. As the function of the door lock mechanism increases, the size of the door lock mechanism increases. The increase in the size of the door lock mechanism further reduces the energy absorption space and increases the injury to passengers.

[0032] Based on this, this application proposes a door assembly 1, including an inner door panel, an outer door panel, and a door lock mechanism 20. The inner door panel and the outer door panel are arranged along a first direction and connected. The inner door panel can be connected to the outer door panel by bolts, welding, or other methods. The door lock mechanism 20 is installed between the inner door panel and the outer door panel. The door lock mechanism 20 includes a door lock body 21, a disconnection structure 22, and a first push structure 23. An inner door panel reinforcing plate 10 is provided between the inner door panel and the outer door panel and is fixedly connected to the inner door panel. The door lock body 21 is fixedly connected to the inner door panel reinforcing plate 10, and the door lock body 21 can be fixedly connected to the inner door panel reinforcing plate 10 by bolts, welding, or other methods. A window regulator 30 is provided between the inner door panel and the outer door panel. The window regulator 30 is positioned opposite the door lock body 21 along a first direction and is spaced apart from the door lock body 21. The window regulator 30 is located between the inner door panel and the inner door panel reinforcing plate 10. The disconnection structure 22 can disconnect the connection between the door lock body 21 and the inner door panel reinforcing plate 10, thereby separating the door lock body 21 from the inner door panel reinforcing plate 10. The first pushing structure 23 can push the door lock body 21 to move along a second direction, thereby causing the door lock body 21 and the window regulator 30 to be offset along the first direction.

[0033] It should be noted that when door assembly 1 is as follows Figure 2 When placing the object in a specific direction, the first direction is... Figure 2 In the Y direction, when door component 1 is as follows Figure 1 When placed in one direction, the second direction is... Figure 1 In any direction within the XZ plane, this application takes the second direction as... Figure 1 Taking the X-direction as an example, the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular. When the door assembly 1 is installed on the vehicle, the first direction corresponds to the left-right direction of the vehicle, and the second direction corresponds to the front-back direction of the vehicle.

[0034] The first pushing structure 23 can be a pushing cylinder, spring, or other similar structure. The disconnecting structure 22 can be an explosive device, impact cylinder, or other similar structure. When the vehicle is impacted, the disconnecting structure 22 can disconnect the connection between the door lock body 21 and the inner door panel reinforcement plate 10, separating the door lock body 21 from the inner door panel reinforcement plate 10. Under the push of the first pushing structure 23, the door lock body 21 moves in the second direction, causing the door lock body 21 and the window regulator 30 to be offset in the first direction. The door lock body 21 can move autonomously when the vehicle is impacted, preventing the door lock body 21 and the window regulator 30 from overlapping in the first direction, increasing the energy absorption space of the door, reducing the amount of door intrusion, and reducing the injury to passengers. At the same time, without changing the traditional vehicle layout, the convenience and functionality of the door assembly 1 are improved.

[0035] In some embodiments of the present invention, along the second direction, the first pushing structure 23 is located on one side of the door lock body 21. The first pushing structure 23 can push the door lock body 21 to move along the second direction, such as... Figure 1 As shown, when door assembly 1 is as Figure 1 When the direction is set, the first pushing structure 23 can be located on the left or right side of the door lock body 21. The first pushing structure 23 can push the door lock body 21 to move toward the rear or front of the vehicle, thereby causing the door lock body 21 and the window regulator 30 to be offset along the first direction.

[0036] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first pushing structure 23 is constructed as a first elastic member 231, and the inner panel reinforcing plate 10 of the door is provided with a first limiting plate 11. Along the second direction, the first limiting plate 11 is located on one side of the door lock body 21, and the first elastic member 231 is compressed between the first limiting plate 11 and the door lock body 21.

[0037] The first pushing structure 23 can be constructed as a first elastic element 231, which can be a spring or a spring sheet. In this embodiment, the first elastic element 231 is described as a spring. A first limiting plate 11 is provided on the inner door panel reinforcing plate 10. The first limiting plate 11 is fixedly connected to the inner door panel reinforcing plate 10. The first limiting plate 11 can be fixedly connected to the inner door panel reinforcing plate 10 by means of bolt connection, welding, etc. Along the second direction, the first limiting plate 11 and the first elastic element 231 are located on the same side of the door lock body 21. The first elastic element 231 is compressed between the first limiting plate 11 and the door lock body 21. The first elastic element 231 is fixedly connected to the first limiting plate 11. The first elastic element 231 can be fixedly connected to the first limiting plate 11 by means of welding, snap-fit, etc. The first elastic element 231 abuts against the door lock body 21. When the first elastic element 231 is compressed, the first elastic element 231 deforms and generates elastic force. The first elastic element 231 has an initial pushing force. When the disconnection structure 22 disconnects the connection between the door lock body 21 and the door inner panel reinforcement plate 10, the first elastic element 231 can push the door lock body 21 to move along the second direction, so that the door lock body 21 and the window regulator 30 are misaligned along the first direction.

[0038] By constructing the first pushing structure 23 as the first elastic element 231, the first pushing structure 23 has an initial pushing force. When the door lock body 21 is separated from the door inner panel reinforcing plate 10, the door lock body 21 can move under the action of the first pushing structure 23. By constructing the first pushing structure 23 as the first elastic element 231, the structure of the first pushing structure 23 can be simplified, and the production cost of the door assembly 1 can be reduced.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first elastic element 231 is fixedly connected to the first limiting plate 11.

[0040] The first elastic element 231 is fixedly connected to the first limiting plate 11, so that the first elastic element 231 is stably installed on the first limiting plate 11, and the first elastic element 231 cooperates with the door lock mechanism 20, so that the first elastic element 231 can push the door lock body 21 in the second direction, thereby improving the firmness of the installation of the first elastic element 231 and improving the safety of the door lock mechanism 20.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, the door lock body 21 is connected to a first mounting part 211, and the door inner panel reinforcing plate 10 has a second mounting part 12. The first mounting part 211 and the second mounting part 12 are fitted together to fix the door lock body 21 to the door inner panel reinforcing plate 10. The disconnection structure 22 is adapted to disconnect the first mounting part 211.

[0042] The door lock body 21 is connected to a first mounting part 211, which can be integrally formed with the door lock body 21 or connected to the door lock body 21 by a snap-fit ​​method. The door inner panel reinforcing plate 10 has a second mounting part 12, which can be connected to the door inner panel reinforcing plate 10 by bolt connection, welding, or other methods. There can be multiple first mounting parts 211 and multiple second mounting parts 12. Along the first direction, the first mounting parts 211 and the second mounting parts 12 are correspondingly arranged to achieve assembly. The first mounting parts 211 and the second mounting parts 12 are assembled together. The first mounting parts 211 can be assembled with the second mounting parts 12 by bolt connection, snap-fit, or other methods, so that the door lock body 21 and the door inner panel reinforcing plate 10 are fixedly connected. The disconnection structure 22 can act on the first mounting part 211, and the disconnection structure 22 can disconnect the first mounting part 211, so that the door lock body 21 and the door inner panel reinforcing plate 10 are disconnected. Multiple first mounting parts 211 and multiple second mounting parts 12 are assembled in a one-to-one correspondence to improve the firmness of the connection between the door lock body 21 and the door inner panel reinforcement plate 10.

[0043] By setting up a first mounting part 211 and a second mounting part 12, the multiple first mounting parts 211 cooperate with the multiple second mounting parts 12 to improve the firmness of the connection between the door lock body 21 and the door inner panel reinforcement plate 10, reduce the risk of the door lock body 21 falling off before the vehicle is hit, improve the stability of the door lock mechanism 20, and improve the safety of the door assembly 1.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the first mounting part 211 has a structural weakening section 2111, and the disconnection structure 22 is provided corresponding to the structural weakening section 2111. The disconnection structure 22 is adapted to disconnect the structural weakening section 2111 so that the first mounting part 211 is disconnected.

[0045] The first mounting portion 211 has a structurally weakened section 2111, which can be located at the middle of the first mounting portion 211. The thickness of the structurally weakened section 2111 can be smaller than the thickness of other parts of the first mounting portion 211. The disconnection structure 22 is correspondingly provided with the structurally weakened section 2111. The disconnection structure 22 can act on the structurally weakened section 2111, thereby disconnecting the structurally weakened section 2111 and breaking the connection between the door lock body 21 and the door inner panel reinforcement plate 10. By providing the structurally weakened section 2111, the local structural strength of the first mounting portion 211 is reduced, making it easier for the disconnection structure 22 to disconnect the first mounting portion 211. When the door is impacted, the first mounting portion 211 can be disconnected in time.

[0046] The disconnection structure 22 can be a generator that is communicatively connected to the vehicle controller. When the vehicle is impacted, the vehicle controller sends a signal to the generator, which then detonates, causing the structurally weakened section 2111 to disconnect, thereby disconnecting the connection between the door lock body 21 and the inner door panel reinforcement plate 10. However, the invention is not limited to this. The disconnection structure 22 can also be an impact cylinder, which can be communicatively connected to the vehicle controller. When the vehicle is impacted, the vehicle controller sends a signal to the impact cylinder, and the impact shaft of the impact cylinder can impact the structurally weakened section 2111, causing it to disconnect, thereby disconnecting the connection between the door lock body 21 and the inner door panel reinforcement plate 10.

[0047] By setting the structural weakening section 2111, the difficulty of disconnecting the door lock body 21 and the door inner panel reinforcement plate 10 can be reduced, making the operation simpler. Disconnecting the structure 22 can disconnect the structural weakening section 2111, thereby disconnecting the connection between the door lock body 21 and the door inner panel reinforcement plate 10 and ensuring the functionality of the door assembly 1.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, the door lock mechanism 20 may further include: a second push structure 24, which is located between the first mounting portion 211 and the door inner panel reinforcing plate 10. The door inner panel reinforcing plate 10 has a mounting hole 13, and the door lock body 21 passes through the mounting hole 13. The second push structure 24 is adapted to push the door lock body 21 to move toward the window regulator 30 in a first direction.

[0049] The door assembly 1 may further include a second pushing structure 24, which is located between the first mounting portion 211 and the inner door panel reinforcing plate 10. The second pushing structure 24 can be fixedly mounted on the inner door panel reinforcing plate 10. The second pushing structure 24 can be fixedly connected to the inner door panel reinforcing plate 10 by means of bolts, welding, etc. The second pushing structure 24 is adapted to push the door lock body 21 to move, so that the door lock body 21 moves towards the window regulator 30 in a first direction. The inner door panel reinforcing plate 10 has a mounting hole 13, through which the door lock body 21 passes. At least a portion of the door lock body 21 passes through the mounting hole 13 and connects to the door handle on the outer door panel. When the vehicle is impacted, the disconnection structure 22 disconnects the first mounting part 211, thus breaking the connection between the door lock body 21 and the inner door panel reinforcement plate 10. The second pushing structure 24 pushes the door lock body 21 to move in the first direction, causing the door lock body 21 to move out of the mounting hole 13 and push the door lock body 21 to the side of the inner door panel reinforcement plate 10 near the window regulator 30. Then, the first pushing structure 23 pushes the door lock body 21 to move in the second direction, causing the door lock body 21 to be misaligned with the window regulator 30. This ensures that there is sufficient energy-absorbing space between the inner door panel and the outer door panel during the impact, reducing the amount of door intrusion and minimizing injury to passengers.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present invention, the second pushing structure 24 is configured as a second elastic member 241, which is compressed between the first mounting portion 211 and the door inner panel reinforcing plate 10.

[0051] The second pushing structure 24 can be constructed as a second elastic element 241. The second elastic element 241 can be a spring, a sheet, or other structure. This application uses a spring as an example for explanation. Multiple second elastic elements 241 can be present in the door inner panel reinforcing plate 10, and these multiple second elastic elements 241 are correspondingly arranged with multiple first mounting portions 211 along a first direction. The second elastic element 241 abuts against the first mounting portion 211, and is compressed between the first mounting portion 211 and the door inner panel reinforcing plate 10. When the second elastic element 241 is compressed, it generates elastic force and has an initial pushing force. When the disconnection structure 22 disconnects the connection between the door lock body 21 and the door inner panel reinforcing plate 10, the second elastic element 241 pushes the door lock body 21 to move along the first direction, pushing it to the side of the door inner panel reinforcing plate 10 near the window regulator 30, allowing the door lock body 21 to be further pushed by the first elastic element 231.

[0052] By constructing the second push structure 24 as the second elastic element 241, the second push structure 24 has an initial pushing force, and the door lock body 21 can move under the action of the second push structure 24, thereby improving the convenience and functionality of the door assembly 1 without changing the traditional vehicle layout.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the door assembly 1 may further include: a guide structure 40, which is fixed to the inner door panel reinforcing plate 10, and the guide structure 40 cooperates with the door lock body 21 to guide the door lock body 21 in a second direction.

[0054] The door assembly 1 may further include a guide structure 40, which is fixed to the inner door panel reinforcing plate 10. The guide structure 40 can be welded, bonded, or otherwise connected to the inner door panel reinforcing plate 10. The guide structure 40 guides the door lock body 21 in a guiding manner, allowing the door lock body 21 to move along the second direction. The guide structure 40 may include a first limiting baffle 41, a second limiting baffle 42, and a third limiting baffle 43. The first limiting baffle 41, the second limiting baffle 42, and the third limiting baffle 43 define a slide groove 44, which opens towards the window regulator 30 in a first direction. The first limiting baffle 41 and the second limiting baffle 42 are opposite to and spaced apart in a third direction to form the slide groove 44 between the first limiting baffle 41 and the second limiting baffle 42, which extends in the second direction. The first limiting baffle 41 and the second limiting baffle 42 limit the door lock body 21, allowing the door lock body 21 to move along the second direction, preventing the door lock body 21 from shifting and reducing the risk of the door lock body 21 colliding with other components. Along the second direction, the third limiting baffle 43 is located on the other side of the door lock body 21. The third limiting baffle 43 can limit the door lock body 21, preventing the door lock body 21 from sliding out of the slide groove 44, allowing the door lock body 21 to slide within the slide groove 44.

[0055] It should be noted that when door assembly 1 is as follows Figure 1 When placed in the orientation, the third orientation is... Figure 1 In the Z direction, when the door assembly 1 is installed in the vehicle, the third direction corresponds to the height direction of the vehicle.

[0056] A vehicle according to a second aspect of the present invention includes: the door assembly 1 in the above embodiments.

[0057] According to the vehicle of the present application embodiment, the door assembly 1 of the above embodiment can increase the energy absorption space of the door when the door is impacted, reduce the amount of door intrusion, reduce the injury to passengers, and improve the convenience and functionality of the door assembly 1 without changing the traditional vehicle layout.

[0058] The door assembly 1 and other components and operations of the vehicle according to embodiments of the present invention are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
