[0025] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application, the scheme of the present application will be further described below. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0026] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present application, but the present application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0027] like Figure 1 A water retaining structure provided in an embodiment of the present application includes a door inner panel. In the length direction of the door inner panel, specifically, the length direction of the door inner panel specifically refers to the direction from the front of the vehicle to the parking space. The end of the door inner panel facing the connection position between the vehicle door and the vehicle body is the first end of the door inner panel, and the end of the door inner panel facing away from the connection position between the vehicle door and the vehicle body is the second end of the door inner panel. The second end of the door inner panel is formed with a door frame step, and the door frame step can cooperate with the door frame limit of the vehicle body structure, thereby improving the flatness of the vehicle body appearance. The door inner panel is formed with a first water guide platform 21 that gradually tilts downward from the first end to the second end of the door inner panel, so that the water falling on the first water guide platform 21 flows down along the inclined surface of the water guide platform, and at least part of the first water guide platform 21 is arranged on the door frame step, thereby being able to guide the water to the outside of the door sill. Exemplarily, the first water guide platform 21 can be directly arranged on the door inner panel, or it can be arranged on a reinforcing plate at a door lock, a window frame, etc.

[0028] The water retaining structure of the present embodiment can make the door inner panel fit with the door structure and enhance the integrity of the door by arranging a door frame step on the door inner panel; can divert water falling on the door inner panel by forming a first water guiding platform 21 which gradually slopes downward from the first end to the second end of the door inner panel to prevent water from entering the door lock hole and causing water accumulation; and can effectively block water by arranging at least a part of the first water guiding platform 21 on the door frame step, and divert water to the outside of the door, thereby reducing residual water on the interior and the door sill.

[0029] In some embodiments, a drainage surface 22 is formed on the first water guide platform 21, and the drainage surface 22 gradually slopes downward from the side of the first water guide platform 21 close to the door inner panel to the side of the first water guide platform 21 away from the door inner panel, thereby reducing the resistance between water droplets and the drainage surface 22 and expanding the receiving area, that is, the side of the drainage surface 22 close to the inner panel is higher than the side away from the door inner panel, thereby facilitating water to flow down along the drainage surface 22 and avoiding water accumulation between the first water guide platform 21 and the door inner panel. The above-mentioned drainage surface 22 can be either a plane structure or a curved structure.

[0030] Furthermore, the drainage surface 22 is a curved surface structure, which can be a curved surface structure formed along the extension direction of the first water guide platform 21, or a curved surface structure formed along the direction from the first water guide platform 21 close to the door inner panel to away from the door inner panel. The central angle corresponding to the curved surface structure can be toward the first water guide platform 21 or away from the first water guide platform 21. Specifically, the curved surface structure can be a concave surface toward the door lock reinforcement plate 2, which can not only ensure a better diversion effect and reduce the resistance between water droplets and the drainage surface 22, but also expand the receiving area and improve the water retaining effect.

[0031] In some specific embodiments, the water retaining structure also includes a door lock reinforcement plate 2. By arranging the door lock reinforcement plate 2 on the door lock mounting position of the door inner panel, the structure of the door inner panel can be strengthened, thereby preventing the door inner panel from being damaged by impact; a door lock mounting position is formed on the door inner panel, and the door lock mounting position is used to install the door lock. In order to cooperate with the assembly of the door lock, mounting holes, mounting platforms, clamping structures, etc. can be opened on the door inner panel. The door lock reinforcement plate 2 is arranged on the door lock mounting position of the door inner panel, and the door inner panel and the door lock reinforcement plate are provided with through lock holes. Preferably, the lock hole is arranged below the first water guide platform 21, so that the first water guide platform 21 shields the lock hole to prevent water from flowing into the door along the lock hole.

[0032] In more detail, a bending portion 23 bent toward the inner panel of the vehicle door is formed on the door lock reinforcement plate 2. The bending portion 23 may be arranged at the second end of the door lock reinforcement plate 2, that is, the end of the door lock reinforcement plate 2 corresponding to the second end of the above-mentioned inner panel of the vehicle door, or may be arranged in the middle of the length direction of the door lock reinforcement plate 2. The bending portion 23 is arranged on at least a part of the door frame step along the extension direction of the door frame step. The bending portion 23 may be limited by the door frame step. The first water guide platform 21 is connected to the bending portion 23. The water flow surface between the above-mentioned connected water guide platform and the bending portion 23 is connected by a continuous integral structure, which can divert water.

[0033] In some optional embodiments, the bending portion 23 is arranged on one end of the door lock reinforcement plate 2 toward the second end of the vehicle door inner panel, which can make the overall structure of the door lock reinforcement plate 2 more compact. The first water guide platform 21 and the bending portion 23 are connected by an arc structure, that is, the connection between the first water guide platform 21 and the bending portion 23 is a smooth transition of the arc structure, so that the water flow surface remains continuous and avoids local accumulation of water flow in the first water guide platform 21 or the bending portion 23. Specifically, the central angle of the above-mentioned arc structure can be located on the door lock reinforcement plate 2, so as to avoid water accumulation between the first water guide platform 21 and the bending portion 23. The above-mentioned bending portion 23 and the first water guide platform 21 can be integrally formed on the door lock reinforcement plate 2 of the sheet metal structure, thereby reducing costs and improving the continuity of the water flow surface.

[0034] Furthermore, a reinforcing protrusion is formed on the bending portion 23. Since the bending portion 23 is arranged at the door frame step, and the door frame step is subjected to a great impact when the door is opened and closed, the bending portion 23 needs to be reinforced. Specifically, a reinforcing protrusion may be provided on the bending portion 23. The above-mentioned reinforcing protrusion may specifically be a convex rib, a reinforcing rib, or a convex hump, etc. In addition, a concave cavity adjacent to the convex hump may be provided to absorb vibration. A plurality of the above-mentioned reinforcing protrusions may be provided, and the plurality of reinforcing protrusions are dispersedly arranged along the extension direction of the bending portion 23, which can improve the overall structural strength of the bending portion 23.

[0035] In other embodiments, a connecting portion 24 is formed on one end of the door lock reinforcement plate 2 facing away from the first water guide platform 21, that is, the connecting portion 24 is located below the first water guide platform 21, so that the first water guide platform 21 shields the connecting portion 24, thereby preventing the connecting portion 24 from getting wet, and further preventing the connecting portion 24 from rusting. The door lock reinforcement plate 2 is connected to the inner panel of the vehicle door through the connecting portion 24. A threaded connection or a pin connection can be set between the connecting portion 24 and the inner panel of the vehicle door, and they can also be bonded or welded.

[0036] like Figure 2As shown, in some further embodiments, a second water guide platform 31 is formed on the window frame reinforcement plate, and the second water guide platform 31 is arranged on part of the door frame step along the extension direction of the door frame step. More specifically, a step structure may be formed on the window frame reinforcement plate 3, and the above-mentioned step structure is overlapped and arranged on the door frame step, and the second water guide platform 31 is formed on part of the step structure along the extension direction of the door frame step; in the direction from the first end to the second end of the vehicle door inner panel, at least part of the second water guide platform 31 is formed with a downwardly inclined water guide portion 32, and the water flowing through the step structure can be guided to the second end of the vehicle door inner panel through the water guide platform. The second water guide platform 31 is arranged above the first water guide platform. In the vertical direction, in some embodiments, the positions of the first water guide platform 21 and the second water guide platform 31 can be correspondingly arranged, that is, the water flowing down from the end of the second water guide platform 31 falls on the first water guide platform 21, so that a continuous diversion path can be formed between the first water guide platform 21 and the second water guide platform 31; in other embodiments, the positions of the first water guide platform 21 and the second water guide platform 31 can also be staggered, and the first water guide platform 21 and the second water guide platform 31 respectively guide the water flow falling on the window frame reinforcement plate and the water flow on the door lock reinforcement plate to the second end of the vehicle door inner panel.

[0037] In some more detailed embodiments, the orthographic projection of the bottom of the water guide portion 32 falls within the first water guide platform 21, so that the water flowing through the second water guide platform 31 can fall onto the first water guide platform 21, so that a continuous drainage structure is formed between the first water guide platform 21 and the second water guide platform 31, thereby avoiding water accumulation and leakage, and being able to more effectively keep the vehicle dry and clean, thereby improving the comfort of the vehicle.

[0038] The embodiment of the present application further provides a vehicle door, comprising the above-mentioned water retaining structure.

[0039] An embodiment of the present application also provides a vehicle, comprising the above-mentioned vehicle door.
