[0048] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with embodiments:
[0049] In the prior art, the door trim is the last assembly fastening part, and the positioning of the door trim plays a key role in the final appearance of the door. To this end, the present invention designs a door sheet metal and an outer trim structure thereof.
[0050] The vehicle door sheet metal and the vehicle door decorative plate structure of the present invention comprise a vehicle door sheet metal, a vehicle door decorative plate, an upper frame decorative strip and a glass guide groove.
[0051] The door trim is mounted on the door sheet metal, and a guide rail is integrated thereon. The door trim is positioned by driving three self-tapping screws through the square fixing holes and into the embedded nuts for fastening. The embedded nuts are pre-installed in the embedded nut holes of the door reinforcement plate.
[0052] The rear side wall of the door trim is provided with a hook edge for limiting the movement of the door trim in the -X, -Y, and +Y directions. The door trim is provided with three square fixing holes for limiting the movement of the door trim in the -Y and +Y directions. The top side wall of the door trim is used to limit the movement of the door trim in the +Z direction. The door trim is provided with a side insert (oblique limiting rib) for limiting the movement of the door trim in the -Y direction. Figure 3-Figure 4 As shown. Generally, parts need to constrain 6 degrees of freedom in space - / +X, - / +Y, and - / +Z. In the present invention, the rear of the vehicle is the +X direction, the right side of the vehicle is the +Y direction, and the top of the vehicle is the +Z direction. The arrangement of the door trim panel of the present invention can effectively overcome the defects of poor fit and uneven gap between the trim panel and the guide groove caused by manufacturing and assembly errors.
[0053] The upper frame trim is a C-shaped semi-enclosed structure, compositely extruded with PVC and steel strips, and tightly clamps the upper frame guide rail metal parts through the upper and lower lips.
[0054] The glass run channel is inserted into the upper frame guide rail to support the glass. The door trim panel fits tightly with the glass run channel lip, and the appearance quality is easy to ensure. The glass run channel lip is a streamlined arc, which reduces high-speed wind noise.
[0055] Specifically, the front door trim panel is as follows: Figure 8 shown.
[0056] -X direction limiting rib: the bottom rib of the trim hook groove of the door trim panel is in contact with the trim line of the door inner panel, limiting the movement of the door trim panel toward the front of the vehicle.
[0057] +Y direction limiting ribs: the outer ribs of the door trim panel hook edge are fitted with the outer side surface of the trimming of the door inner panel to limit the movement of the door trim panel toward the inside of the vehicle.
[0058] -Y-direction inclined limiting rib: fits with the trim of the door inner panel to limit the movement of the door decorative panel toward the outside of the vehicle.
[0059] +Z direction limiting surface: The top side wall of the door trim panel is pressed against the glass guide groove cutout to limit the upward movement of the door trim panel. The interference between the side wall of the door trim panel and the glass guide groove cutout (EPDM rubber) is 0.2mm.
[0060] The back of the front door trim panel is as follows Fig.13 As shown:
[0061] -Y direction trim panel plug: The top plug of the door trim panel matches with the special-shaped hole of the reinforcement panel, with a matching length of 3.7mm, which limits the movement of the door trim panel in the Y direction toward the outside of the vehicle.
[0062] - / +Y direction screw fixing: The door trim panel is fastened with self-tapping screws passing through the square holes of the door trim panel and embedded in the sheet metal holes of the door inner panel to restrict the movement of the door trim panel in the - / +Y directions.
[0063] The +X and -Z directions are released during the installation process: to facilitate disassembly and assembly, release this direction; the door trim panel is used as an adjustment part and is assembled after the glass run channel is installed to the door sheet metal to ensure the appearance matching quality of the door trim panel and the glass run channel.
[0064] The rear door trim is similar to the front door trim, with only a difference in X-axis positioning. The rear door trim is limited in the +X direction by the limit column and the oblong hole in the sheet metal.
[0065] The method for installing a door sheet metal and a door decorative panel structure thereof of the present invention comprises the following steps:
[0066] First, insert the lower end of the door trim panel into the opening of the door sheet metal sill;
[0067] Secondly, hook the rear side of the door trim panel onto the trim of the door inner panel, and adjust it up and down, left and right, so that the entire hook edge is hooked onto the trim of the door inner panel;
[0068] Then, push the door trim panel upwards, make sure the top plug of the door trim panel is inserted into the special-shaped hole of the reinforcement plate, and observe that the top side wall of the door trim panel is against and fits the guide groove cut of the glass guide groove;
[0069] Finally, two people cooperate, one person pushes the door trim panel forward, and the other person passes the self-tapping screws through the square holes of the door trim panel and drives in the embedded nuts to fix the door trim panel to the door sheet metal, thus completing the door trim panel installation process.
