[0002] Automobile lightweighting has become a trend in the industry. The main materials used for the truck body-in-white of domestic mainstream automobile manufacturers are still mainly soft steel, and the application of lightweight materials and lightweight process technologies is relatively less. There are also some automobile manufacturers conducting research on lightweight structures using materials such as aluminum plates and carbon fibers. The existing heavy truck doors in China are mainly made of soft steel. The inner and outer panels and the reinforcement plates of the door are stamped and formed, and are connected together by hemming and spot welding.
[0003] However, the doors produced by the existing technology are relatively heavy, and it is difficult to reduce the weight. Usually, without affecting the mold, high-strength steel is used, the material thickness is reduced to reduce the door weight, or the door structure is optimized through topological optimization to reduce the door weight. However, the weight reduction effects of the above two methods are not obvious, and the implementation is difficult, the cycle is long, and the cost is high. Summary of the Invention
