[0026] [Description of embodiments of this disclosure]

[0027] The embodiments of this disclosure are first described in detail.

[0028] The vehicle doors disclosed herein are as follows.

[0029] (1) A vehicle door having an insertion port for insertion of a linear transmission member for use in a component mounted on the vehicle door, the insertion port being positioned so as to be partially obscured by the vehicle door when viewed from above. According to this disclosure, the insertion port for insertion of the linear transmission member is positioned so as to be partially obscured by the vehicle door when viewed from above, thus making it difficult for liquids such as rainwater falling from above to enter the insertion port. That is, it suppresses the entry of liquids such as rainwater from the insertion port.

[0030] (2) In the vehicle door of (1), it is preferable that the linear transmission member is a linear transmission member for optional components mounted on the vehicle door. In this case, the linear transmission member for optional components can be installed independently from the linear transmission member for standard components mounted on the vehicle door. Therefore, the installability of the linear transmission member for optional components is improved.

[0031] (3) In the vehicle door of (1) or (2), it is preferable that the insertion port is located at the bottom of the vehicle door. In this case, liquids such as rainwater are particularly difficult to enter the insertion port. In addition, the insertion port is inconspicuous. Moreover, the linear transmission member inserted into the insertion port is inconspicuous and not easily come into contact with passengers.

[0032] (4) In the vehicle door of (3), it is preferable that the bottom has a stepped portion, which sets the rear portion lower than the front portion, and the insertion port is provided in the stepped portion. In this case, for example, the linear transmission member can be arranged along the front portion of the bottom of the vehicle door and inserted into the insertion port provided in the stepped portion. In this way, the linear transmission member inserted into the insertion port is particularly inconspicuous and particularly difficult to access.

[0033] (5) In the vehicle door of (4), it is preferable that the step portion is located further back than the center in the front-rear direction of the bottom. In this case, it is possible to effectively prevent liquids such as rainwater from entering the insertion opening along the front side of the vehicle door. In addition, the insertion opening is particularly inconspicuous.

[0034] (6) In any of (1) to (5) of the vehicle door, it is preferable to further include a speaker, with the insertion port located below the speaker. In this case, the insertion port is difficult for passengers to see. Moreover, the linear transmission member inserted into the insertion port is difficult for passengers to see and difficult to contact.

[0035] (7) In any of (1) to (6) of the vehicle door, preferably, the linear transmission member is pulled out from a position closer to the interior side of the vehicle body's passenger / landing opening, which is opened and closed by the vehicle door. In this case, it is easy to install the linear transmission member between the vehicle body and the vehicle door.

[0036] (8) In any of (1) to (7) of the vehicle door, it is preferable that the vertical separation distance between the upper end of the insertion port and the floor of the vehicle compartment is 5 cm or less. In this case, the insertion port is not conspicuous. Moreover, the linear transmission member inserted into the insertion port is not conspicuous and is not easily accessible to passengers.

[0037] In addition, the interior trim for replacing the vehicle door disclosed herein is as follows.

[0038] (9) A replaceable interior trim for a vehicle door, used for installation on a vehicle door panel, wherein the replaceable interior trim for the vehicle door has a through-hole for insertion of a linear transmission member for an optional component mounted on the vehicle door, the through-hole being positioned to be partially obscured by the vehicle door when viewed from above while the replaceable interior trim is installed on the panel. The replaceable interior trim of this disclosure has a through-hole for insertion of a linear transmission member for an optional component. Therefore, by replacing the replaceable interior trim with an existing interior trim and installing it on a panel, a vehicle door having a through-hole for insertion of a linear transmission member for an optional component can be obtained. In the vehicle door thus obtained, the through-hole for insertion of the linear transmission member is positioned to be partially obscured by the vehicle door when viewed from above, thus making it difficult for rainwater or other liquids falling from above to enter the through-hole. That is, rainwater or other liquids are prevented from entering through the through-hole.

[0039] [Details of the embodiments of this disclosure]

[0040] Hereinafter, specific examples of vehicle doors and interior trim for replacing vehicle doors according to the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the present disclosure is not limited to these examples, and as shown in the claims, it is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope equivalent to the claims. Furthermore, in the following, "parallel" does not refer to parallelism in a strict sense, but rather to any scope considered parallel that deviates from the scope in which the present invention achieves its effects.

[0041] [Implementation Method]

[0042] <1. Body, Doors, and Layout>

[0043] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The structure of vehicle 1 according to the embodiment will be described. Figure 1 and Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a portion of vehicle 1. Figure 1 The image shows the open state of door 3. Figure 2 The state of door 3 being closed is shown.

[0044] Vehicle 1 is an automobile, for example, having a body 2 and a vehicle door 3 (also simply referred to as door 3). Door 3 is connected to the body 2 via a hinge 80 in a manner that allows the body 2 to be opened and closed. In addition, vehicle 1 has a layout structure 10 provided between the body 2 and door 3.

[0045] (Car body 2)

[0046] The vehicle body 2 has a metal main body 21 that constitutes its exterior. An entrance / exit 20, or passenger / passenger hatch, is provided on the main body 21 leading to the interior (cabin) of the vehicle body 2. Specifically, the main body 21 includes a frame-like portion defining the passenger / passenger hatch 20. The lower edge of this frame-like portion defining the passenger / passenger hatch 20 is also referred to as a side beam 211. The passenger / passenger hatch 20 is opened and closed by a door 3. That is, the passenger / passenger hatch 20 is covered by the door 3 when the door 3 is closed, and is open when the door 3 is open.

[0047] The vehicle body 2 also includes interior trim components 22 formed of resin or the like. These interior trim components include an instrument panel 221 extending from the driver's seat to the front passenger seat. The instrument panel 221 includes, for example, a trim component (also called an instrument cluster) covering the instrument cluster and its surrounding area (in front of the front seats). Additionally, the vehicle body 2 includes a front side panel 222. This front side panel 222 is an interior trim component covering the interior side portion (front side portion) of the main body 21 that forms the wheel arch. The front side panel 222 is positioned closer to the interior side than the side beam 211. That is, the front side panel 222 is positioned closer to the interior side than the passenger compartment 20. The front side panel 222, for example, follows the surface shape of the front side portion, with its lower portion reaching the floor surface 24 of the passenger compartment (see, for example, reference...). Figure 4 ).

[0048] The vehicle body 2 also features a waterproof side sealing strip 23. The side sealing strip 23 (also simply referred to as the sealing strip 23) is installed on the main body 21. The sealing strip 23 is made of rubber or the like. The sealing strip 23 is positioned along the opening edge of the passenger / passenger hatch 20. When the door 3 is closed, the sealing strip 23 is tightly and fluidly attached to the outer periphery of the door 3.

[0049] (Door 3)

[0050] Door 3 is, for example, a front door. Door 3 has a metal panel 31. Panel 31 is connected to the main body 21 of vehicle body 2 via hinge 80. Panel 31 has, for example, an outer panel and an inner panel.

[0051] Door 3 also includes a door trim panel 32 made of resin or the like. The door trim panel 32 is an interior component for the door, constituting the interior exterior design of door 3. The door trim panel 32 is installed on panel 31 (specifically, for example, inner panel).

[0052] The door panel 32 has an extension portion 321 that extends inward to the interior when the door 3 is closed. A hollow space 301 is formed between the extension portion 321 and the panel 31. To avoid creating a feeling of oppression for the occupants, the extension portion 321 is positioned, for example, at a height lower than the seat surface of the driver's seat in the vehicle compartment (see, for example, reference). Figure 3The upper surface of the protruding portion 321 can also be used as an armrest, for example. A door storage compartment 322 with an opening on its upper surface can also be provided in the protruding portion 321. Additionally, a speaker 323 is provided in the door trim panel 32 (see, for example, reference...). Figure 3 The speaker 323 is provided, for example, in the protruding portion 321. The door panel 32 is also provided with a handle for opening and closing the door 3, a door lock operating part, a control switch for the electric window, etc. (all of which are omitted from the figure).

[0053] Door 3 also has a waterproof door side sealing strip 33. The door side sealing strip 33 (also simply referred to as sealing strip 33) is installed on panel 31. Sealing strip 33 is formed of rubber or the like. Sealing strip 33 is provided along the outer periphery of panel 31. When door 3 is closed, sealing strip 33 is in close contact with body 21 of vehicle body 2.

[0054] (Layout structure 10)

[0055] The arrangement structure 10 includes a plurality of linear transmission members 4 and 5 arranged between the vehicle body 2 and the door 3. The plurality of linear transmission members 4 and 5 included in the arrangement structure 10 include, for example, a linear transmission member 4 for a standard mounting on the door 3 and a linear transmission member 5 for an optional mounting on the door 3.

[0056] Here, "linear transmission component" refers to a linear component that transmits electricity or light. A linear transmission component can be, for example, an electrical wire having a core and an insulating sheath covering the core. Alternatively, a linear transmission component can be a bare conductor, shielded wire, stranded wire, enameled wire, nickel-chromium alloy wire, or optical fiber. In the case of transmitting electricity, the linear transmission component can be various signal lines or various power lines. A linear transmission component can be a single linear object or a composite of multiple linear objects (e.g., stranded wire, or a cable formed by combining multiple linear objects and covering them with a sheath). A linear transmission component can also be called a wiring component.

[0057] Furthermore, "standard accessories" are components pre-installed before vehicle 1 leaves the factory, and are installed during the manufacturing stage of vehicle 1. Manufacturer-selected options are included in standard accessories. Standard accessories installed on door 3 include, for example, electrical components for power windows, electrical components for door locks, electrical components for power rearview mirrors, and speakers. Hereafter, when simply referred to as standard accessories, it refers to standard accessories installed on door 3.

[0058] On the other hand, "optional items" are components installed after vehicle 1 has been manufactured and are installed in dealerships, etc. Dealer options are included in optional items. Optional items include not only equipment added to standard equipment, but also equipment installed in place of standard equipment. Optional items installed on door 3 include, for example, cameras, range sensors, and other sensors. Hereafter, when referred to simply as optional items, it refers to optional items installed on door 3.

[0059] The linear transmission member 4 for the standard mount is directly or indirectly connected to the standard mount, providing at least one of the following to the connected standard mount: power supply and signal transmission. For example, if the linear transmission member 4 is an electrical transmission member such as a wire, the linear transmission member 4 is electrically connected to the standard mount. The layout structure 10 may also include multiple linear transmission members 4 for the standard mount. In this case, the multiple linear transmission members 4 may, for example, include multiple wires for providing at least one of the following to the multiple standard mounts: power supply and signal transmission.

[0060] One end of the standard-mounted linear transmission member 4 is located inside the vehicle body 2, and the other end is located inside the door 3. The standard-mounted linear transmission member 4 is disposed between the vehicle body 2 and the door 3, specifically between the main body 21 and the panel 31. The portion of the standard-mounted linear transmission member 4 disposed between the vehicle body 2 and the door 3 is, for example, disposed on the outer side of the sealing strips 23 and 33. The portion of the standard-mounted linear transmission member 4 disposed between the vehicle body 2 and the door 3 is covered by an outer component 6. The outer component 6 is, for example, a cable sheath, but may also be a component other than a cable sheath. The outer component 6 is mounted between the vehicle body 2 and the door 3, for example, by liquid-tightly connecting each end to the main body 21 and the panel 31 respectively. In the wiring configuration 10, for example, a wiring harness is constituted by one or more linear transmission members 4 and outer components 6. The wiring harness comprising the linear transmission member 4 and the outer component 6 can also be considered as a wiring component.

[0061] The optional linear transmission member 5 is installed in the vehicle 1 depending on the optional item being installed. That is, when the door 3 is equipped with an optional item, the optional linear transmission member 5 is directly or indirectly connected to the installed optional item, providing at least one of the following to the connected optional item: power supply and signal transmission. For example, if the linear transmission member 5 is an electrical transmission member such as a wire, the linear transmission member 5 is electrically connected to the optional item. The type of linear transmission member 5 is appropriately selected according to the installed optional item. For example, if the optional item is an Ethernet support device, an Ethernet cable is used as the linear transmission member 5. The layout structure 10 may also include multiple optional linear transmission members 5. In this case, the multiple linear transmission members 5 may, for example, include multiple wires for providing at least one of the following to the multiple optional items: power supply and signal transmission. When the door 3 is not equipped with an optional item, the linear transmission member 5 is connected to the optional item. Figure 1 and Figure 2 Unlike other examples, the optional linear transmission member 5 is not provided on the vehicle 1. That is to say, in this case, the layout structure 10 does not have the optional linear transmission member 5.

[0062] One end of the optional linear transmission member 5 is located inside the vehicle body 2, and the other end is located inside the door 3. The optional linear transmission member 5 is disposed between the vehicle body 2 and the door 3, specifically between the front side panel 222 and the door panel 32. The portion of the optional linear transmission member 5 disposed between the vehicle body 2 and the door 3 is, for example, positioned closer to the interior side than the sealing strips 23 and 33. The portion of the optional linear transmission member 5 disposed between the vehicle body 2 and the door 3 is guided, for example, by a wiring guide 7. The wiring guide 7 is mounted between the vehicle body 2 and the door 3, for example, by connecting its ends to the front side panel 222 and the door panel 32 respectively. In the wiring configuration 10, for example, a wiring harness is formed by one or more linear transmission members 5 and wiring guides 7. The wiring harness comprising the linear transmission member 5 and the wiring guide 7 can also be considered as a wiring member.

[0063] <2. Insertion Port>

[0064] As described above, one end of the optional linear transmission member 5 is located inside the vehicle body 2, and the other end is located inside the door 3. The vehicle body 2 and door 3 are respectively provided with insertion ports 81 and 82 for inserting the optional linear transmission member 5. When the linear transmission member 5 is provided according to the installation of the optional item, the linear transmission member 5 is inserted into each insertion port 81 and 82. In the stage where no optional item is installed (for example, at the manufacturing stage of vehicle 1), each insertion port 81 and 82 is in a state where the linear transmission member 5 is not inserted.

[0065] Apart from Figure 1 and Figure 2 In addition, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The insertion ports 81 and 82 are explained. Figure 3 The diagram shows the front side panel 222 and the area near the door panel 32 with door 3 open. Figure 4 The image shows the closed state of door 3 as viewed from the inside. However, in... Figure 3 and Figure 4 The diagrams of panel 31 and wiring guide 7 are omitted.

[0066] The insertion port (side insertion port) 81 provided on the vehicle body 2 is located on the interior side closer to the passenger / passenger landing opening 20. Furthermore, the side insertion port 81 is located at a sufficiently low position, that is, at a height sufficiently close to the floor surface 24 of the passenger compartment. As an example, the side insertion port 81 is located at a height distance of 5 cm or less from the floor surface 24. Here, the side insertion port 81 is provided on the front side trim panel 222. That is, here, the side insertion port 81 is a through hole that penetrates the front side trim panel 222 along its thickness direction.

[0067] Viewed from above, the door 3, which is mounted on the vehicle body 2 via hinge 80 ( Figure 1 , Figure 2 The insertion opening (door side insertion opening) 82 of the door 3 is located in a position that is partially obscured by the door 3. "Viewed from above" means looking down along the vertical direction. The door side insertion opening 82 is located in a position that is partially obscured by the door 3 when viewed from above, so that when the door 3 is open, rainwater and other liquids falling from above are difficult to enter the door side insertion opening 82.

[0068] The door side inlet 82 is preferably positioned at a height lower than the passenger's line of sight, for example, preferably below the speaker 323, so that the door side inlet 82 is not easily seen by passengers. To make the door side inlet 82 inconspicuous, it is preferable to position it at a sufficiently low position, that is, at a height sufficiently close to the floor surface 24 of the vehicle compartment. As an example, the door side inlet 82 is preferably positioned at a height distance of less than 5 centimeters between its upper end and the floor surface 24 of the vehicle compartment.

[0069] Here, the door side insertion opening 82 is located at the bottom 30 of the door 3. "Bottom 30 of the door 3" refers to the portion that can be visually confirmed when viewed from below, with the door 3 mounted to the vehicle body 2 via the hinge 80 (viewed from a vertically upward direction). Here, a protruding portion 321 is provided on the door panel 32, and the lower surface 3210 of the protruding portion 321 forms at least a portion of the bottom 30 of the door 3. Furthermore, the door side insertion opening 82 is located on the lower surface 3210 of the protruding portion 321. In this case, the door side insertion opening 82 is obscured by the protruding portion 321 when viewed from above. That is, when viewing the door 3 mounted to the vehicle body 2 via the hinge 80 from above, the door side insertion opening 82 is located in a position obscured by the protruding portion 321.

[0070] The lower surface 3210 of the protruding portion 321 is formed, for example, by a step portion 324, a front portion 325 further forward of the step portion 324, and a rear portion 326 further rear of the step portion 324. However, here, with the door 3 mounted to the vehicle body 2 via the hinge 80, the side closer to the hinge 80 is designated as the "front," and the side farther from the hinge 80 is designated as the "rear." The step portion 324 is located at a position further rear than the center of the bottom 30 of the door 3 in the front-rear direction. The step portion 324 has an upper side, a lower side located at a position lower than the upper side, and a main surface extending in the height direction between them. It is connected to the front portion 325 at the upper side and to the rear portion 326 at the lower side. That is, the step portion 324 makes the rear portion 326 lower than the front portion 325. The front portion 325 extends horizontally in the front-rear direction. The rear portion 326 is formed into a shape that curves gently upwards from a position lower than the front portion 325 toward the rear. A door-side insertion port 82 is provided on the step portion 324. That is, here, the door-side insertion port 82 is a through hole that passes through the main surface of the step portion 324, which extends in the height direction, in the front-rear direction.

[0071] When the linear transmission member 5 is provided for the optional item, the linear transmission member 5 for the optional item is pulled out from the inside of the vehicle body 2 toward the door 3 through the insertion port 81 on the vehicle body side. That is, the linear transmission member 5 for the optional item is pulled out from the interior side of the passenger compartment 20. The linear transmission member 5 pulled out from the vehicle body side insertion port 81 is arranged back and forth along the front side portion 325 of the door trim panel 32, and is guided into the inside of the door 3 along the front and rear insertion ports 82 on the door body side. In this way, the linear transmission member 5 for the optional item is arranged between the vehicle body 2 and the door 3 (specifically, between the front side trim panel 222 and the door trim panel 32) through the vehicle body side insertion port 81 and the door side insertion port 82.

[0072] <3. Wiring Guide>

[0073] (structure)

[0074] The portion of the optional linear transmission component 5 that is laid between the vehicle body 2 and the door 3 (also referred to simply as the laying portion) is guided by the wiring guide 7. (See reference...) Figure 5 The structure of the wiring guide 7 will be described. Figure 5 This is a three-dimensional view that roughly represents the wiring guide 7.

[0075] The wiring guide 7 includes a first path limiting member 71 and a second path limiting member 72. The first path limiting member 71 and the second path limiting member 72 are connected via a first rotating shaft 73, and each path limiting member 71, 72 is rotatable relative to the other. That is, the wiring guide 7 includes a plurality (in this case, two) of path limiting members 71, 72 that are rotatably connected.

[0076] The first path limiting member 71 is curved in the extending direction. The first path limiting member 71 is rigid and difficult to deform even when subjected to external force. The first path limiting member 71 is cylindrical. As an example, the first path limiting member 71 is a segmented cylindrical shape consisting of a pair of opposing half-segments that interlock with each other. As described above, the first path limiting member 71 is connected at one end to the second path limiting member 72 via a first rotating shaft portion 73. At the other end of the first path limiting member 71, an opening 701 is provided on the bottom surface. This opening 701 serves as an inlet for guiding the linear transmission member 5, which is led out from the vehicle body side insertion port 81, into the cylindrical interior of the wiring guide 7.

[0077] The second path limiting member 72 includes an outer cylinder member 721 and an inner cylinder member 722. Both the outer cylinder member 721 and the inner cylinder member 722 are linearly extending. Both the outer cylinder member 721 and the inner cylinder member 722 are rigid and difficult to deform even when subjected to external force. In addition, both the outer cylinder member 721 and the inner cylinder member 722 are cylindrical. As an example, the outer cylinder member 721 and the inner cylinder member 722 are a pair of opposing half-segments that interlock with each other in a segmented cylindrical shape. The inner diameter of the outer cylinder member 721 is larger than the outer diameter of the inner cylinder member 722. The inner cylinder member 722 is inserted into the cylinder of the outer cylinder member 721 from one end. The opening 702 at the other end of the inner cylinder member 722 serves as an outlet for leading the linear transmission member 5 out of the cylinder of the wiring guide 7.

[0078] When the inner cylinder member 722 extends from inside the outer cylinder member 721, the length of the second path limiting member 72 in the extension direction increases. Figure 5 (The solid line). Conversely, when the inner cylinder member 722 enters the cylinder of the outer cylinder member 721, the length of the extension direction of the second path limiting member 72 is shortened ( Figure 5(The double-dotted line). That is, by the inner cylinder member 722 moving forward and backward (sliding) relative to the outer cylinder member 721, the second path restricts the length change of the member 72. That is, the second path restricts the member 72 to extend and retract freely. Guide structures 720 (e.g., a combination of convex and concave strips along the extension direction) for guiding the inner cylinder member 722 to move along its extension direction may also be provided on the outer peripheral surface of the inner cylinder member 722 and the inner peripheral surface of the outer cylinder member 721.

[0079] The linear transmission member 5 is inserted into the cylinder of the wiring guide 7 through the opening 701, sequentially passing through the cylinders of the first path limiting member 71 and the second path limiting member 72, and then exiting through the opening 702. Thus, the portion of the linear transmission member 5 that passes through the cylinder of the wiring guide 7 (the insertion portion) is guided by the wiring guide 7, and the path of the insertion portion is limited to follow the shape of the wiring guide 7. Furthermore, the insertion portion is protected by being covered by the wiring guide 7.

[0080] The wiring unit 700 may also include a linear transmission member 5 and a wiring guide 7. In the wiring unit 700, the linear transmission member 5 may also be inserted into the cylinder of the wiring guide 7.

[0081] (Configuration method)

[0082] Next, refer to Figures 6-8 The configuration method of the wiring guide 7 is explained. Figures 6-8 This is a schematic diagram showing the front side trim panel 222, the door trim panel 32, and the wiring guide 7. Figure 6 The image shows the open state of door 3. Figure 7 The image shows door 3 in the closed state. Figure 8 The image shows the view from the inside of the room when door 3 is closed. Figures 6-8 The illustrations of panel 31, etc., are omitted in the text.

[0083] The wiring guide 7 is disposed between the body 2 and the door 3. Specifically, the wiring guide 7 is configured to connect to the front side trim panel 222 at the end of the first path limiting member 71 and to the door trim panel 32 at the end of the second path limiting member 72, thereby being mounted between the front side trim panel 222 and the door trim panel 32.

[0084] That is, the end of the first path limiting member 71 is connected to the front side trim panel 222, specifically to the body side insertion port 81 provided therein. In this connection portion, the opening 701 and the body side insertion port 81 are arranged in an overlapping manner. In addition, a second rotation axis portion 74 is provided in this connection portion, and the first path limiting member 71 can rotate around the body side insertion port 81.

[0085] The first path limiting member 71 is positioned in a rotational position across the main body 21 (specifically, the side beam 211) when the door 3 is open. In this state, the first path limiting member 71 is bent around the main body 21 (specifically, the portion connected to the front side of the side beam 211 and erected upwards, the so-called front support). That is, when the door 3 is open, the first path limiting member 71 is bent around the front support and crosses the side beam 211.

[0086] The second path limiting member 72 is arranged in a posture extending along the front portion 325. Specifically, for example, on the door panel 32, a support plate 327 extending parallel to the front portion 325 is provided at a position lower than the front portion 325 (see reference). Figure 4 The support plate 327 supports the second path limiting member 72 from the lower surface side, so that the second path limiting member 72 is supported in a posture extending along the front portion 325. However, the support plate 327 does not hinder the extension and retraction of the second path limiting member 72. That is, the second path limiting member 72 can be supported in a posture extending along the front portion 325 and can extend and retract along its extension direction, i.e., the front portion 325. By setting it in a posture extending along the front portion 325, the second path limiting member 72 is obscured by a part of the door 3 (specifically, the protruding portion 321) when viewed from above. That is, when viewing the door 3 mounted to the vehicle body 2 via the hinge 80 from above, the second path limiting member 72 is positioned in a position obscured by a part of the door 3.

[0087] The end of the inner cylinder member 722 of the second path limiting member 72 is inserted into the door side insertion port 82, and the opening 702 is disposed inside the door 3. In this state, the locking portion 7221 provided at the end of the inner cylinder member 722 is locked into the door side insertion port 82. Thus, the end of the second path limiting member 72 is connected to the door trim panel 32, specifically to the door side insertion port 82 provided therein, and the second path limiting member 72 is restricted from rotating relative to the door 3. That is, the second path limiting member 72 is restricted to a posture extending along the front portion 325.

[0088] Thus, the wiring guide 7 is positioned between the front side trim panel 222 and the door trim panel 32. A linear transmission member 5, which is inserted through the body side insertion port 81 and extends from there—that is, a linear transmission member 5 extending from a position closer to the interior side than the passenger / landing opening 20—is introduced into the cylinder of the wiring guide 7 through the opening 701, sequentially inserting into the cylinders of the first path limiting member 71 and the second path limiting member 72, and then exiting through the opening 702, and positioned inside the door 3. In other words, the linear transmission member 5 is inserted into the door side insertion port 82 by inserting into the cylinder of the wiring guide 7. Thus, the portion of the linear transmission member 5 that is laid out between the front side trim panel 222 and the door trim panel 32 through the body side insertion port 81 and the door side insertion port 82 is guided by the wiring guide 7, and the path of the laid portion is restricted to follow the shape of the wiring guide 7. Furthermore, the laid portion is protected by being covered by the wiring guide 7.

[0089] like Figure 8 As shown, the wiring guide 7 extends from one end connected to the front side panel 222 to the other end connected to the door panel 32 in a plane parallel to the floor surface 24 of the vehicle compartment. Therefore, the path of the linear transmission member 5 is confined to a plane parallel to the floor surface 24 of the vehicle compartment. To make the wiring guide 7 inconspicuous, it is preferably positioned at a sufficiently low location, i.e., at a height sufficiently close to the floor surface 24 of the vehicle compartment. As an example, the wiring guide 7 is preferably positioned at a height where the vertical separation distance between its upper surface and the floor surface 24 of the vehicle compartment is less than 5 cm.

[0090] As described below, the wiring guide 7 deforms according to the rotation of the door 3. Specifically, each path limiting member 71, 72 rotates about each rotation axis 73, 74, and the second path limiting member 72 extends and retracts. Here, the rotation axis defined by each rotation axis 73, 74 is defined as a direction orthogonal to the floor surface 24 of the vehicle compartment. In addition, the direction of extension and retraction of the second path limiting member 72 is limited to the direction along the front portion 325, which lies in a plane parallel to the floor surface 24 of the vehicle compartment. Therefore, the wiring guide 7 deforms in a plane parallel to the floor surface 24 of the vehicle compartment. That is, the wiring guide 7 deforms according to the rotation of the door 3 while limiting the path of the wiring portion of the linear transmission member 5 to a plane parallel to the floor surface 24.

[0091] (Method of transformation)

[0092] When door 3 rotates about hinge 80 to open or close passenger / alighting opening 20, wiring guide 7 deforms to follow this movement (i.e., to maintain the two ends of wiring guide 7 in the positions of the respective insertion openings 81, 82). In other words, wiring guide 7 deforms in a manner that does not impede the rotation of door 3. (Refer to...) Figure 9 and Figure 10The deformation method of the wiring guide 7 is explained. Figure 9 and Figure 10 This is a diagram used to illustrate the variation of the wiring guide 7. Figure 9 The state of door 3 being closed is shown. Figure 10 The image shows the open state of door 3.

[0093] As described above, door 3 is connected to vehicle body 2 via hinge 80, and the passenger / flight opening 20 is opened and closed by rotating around hinge 80. For example, in a structure where the vehicle side insertion opening 81 is located on the interior side of the passenger / flight opening 20, it is difficult to make the position of the vehicle side insertion opening 81 coincide with the position of hinge 80. When these two positions are inconsistent, the separation distance between the vehicle side insertion opening 81 and the door side insertion opening 82 changes when door 3 rotates. Furthermore, when the two positions are inconsistent, for example, when door 3 is closed, even if the direction of the straight path connecting the vehicle side insertion opening 81 and the door side insertion opening 82 is consistent with the extension direction of door 3, the direction of this straight path deviates from the extension direction of door 3 as door 3 rotates in the opening direction.

[0094] Even when the position of the side insertion port 81 on the vehicle body is not the same as the position of the hinge 80, the wiring guide 7 can still follow the rotation of the door 3 while maintaining the posture of the second path limiting member 72 extending along the door 3. That is, in the wiring guide 7, according to the rotation of the door 3, the first path limiting member 71 rotates about the second rotation axis 74 (i.e., about the side insertion port 81 on the vehicle body) in a manner that the first rotation axis 73 is maintained in the extension direction of the door 3 (specifically, the front portion 325). The direction of rotation is the same as the direction of rotation of the door 3, but the angle of rotation is not limited to the same angle of rotation of the door 3. The second path limiting member 72 maintains the posture of extending along the door 3 (specifically, the front portion 325) by rotating about the first rotation axis 73 in accordance with the rotation of the first path limiting member 71 (i.e., rotating relative to the first path limiting member 71). On the other hand, in order to compensate for the movement of the first rotation axis 73 in the direction along the door 3, the length of the second path limiting member 72 changes (extends). When the side inlet 81 is located further inside and behind the hinge 80, when the door 3 is rotated in the opening direction (opening action), the first rotation axis 73 moves relative to the door 3 in a direction closer to the hinge 80. Therefore, the inner cylinder member 722 extends out of the outer cylinder member 721 by a corresponding amount, and the second path limiting member 72 extends. Conversely, when the door 3 is rotated in the closing direction (closing action), the first rotation axis 73 moves relative to the door 3 in a direction away from the hinge 80. Therefore, the inner cylinder member 722 enters the outer cylinder member 721 by a corresponding amount, and the second path limiting member 72 shortens.

[0095] Thus, in the wiring guide 7, according to the rotation of the door 3, the first path limiting member 71 rotates around the second rotation axis 74, and the second path limiting member 72 rotates around the first rotation axis 73 while changing its length, thereby following the rotation of the door 3 while maintaining the posture of the second path limiting member 72 extending along the door 3. That is, when the door 3 rotates, the second path limiting member 72 maintains the posture of extending along the door 3. Therefore, it is difficult for passengers to step on the wiring guide 7 when getting on or off the vehicle, and it is difficult for passengers to hook onto the wiring guide 7. In particular, here, the second path limiting member 72 is set to extend along the front portion 325. That is, when the door 3 rotates, the second path limiting member 72 maintains the posture of extending along the front portion 325, that is, the state in which it is blocked by the protruding portion 321 when viewed from above. Therefore, the wiring guide 7 is not conspicuous when the door 3 opens and closes. In addition, it is particularly difficult for passengers to step on the wiring guide 7 when getting on or off the vehicle.

[0096] <4. Effects, etc.>

[0097] The door 3, constructed as described above, has a door-side insertion port 82 for the insertion of the linear transmission member 5. This door-side insertion port 82 is located in a position where it is partially obscured by the door 3 when viewed from above, thus making it difficult for liquids such as rainwater falling from above to enter the door-side insertion port 82. In other words, the possibility of liquids such as rainwater entering through the door-side insertion port 82 is suppressed.

[0098] Furthermore, when the door-side insertion port 82 is used for the insertion of the optional linear transmission member 5, the optional linear transmission member 5 can be installed independently of the standard linear transmission member 4. Assuming the door does not have a door-side insertion port 82 for the insertion of the optional linear transmission member 5, and the linear transmission member 5 is installed according to the optional item, the linear transmission member 5 is installed along the same path as the standard linear transmission member 4. That is, the optional linear transmission member 5 must pass through the outer casing 6 covering the standard linear transmission member 4. However, in most cases, such installation is not easy. This is because the outer casing 6 is located further outside than the sealing strips 23 and 33, making it difficult to ensure sufficient working space for installation. Furthermore, it is not easy to ensure sufficient space within the outer casing 6 for the optional linear transmission member 5 to pass through. If the door 3 has a door-side insertion port 82, as described above, the optional linear transmission member 5 can be installed independently of the standard linear transmission member 4, thus improving the ease of installation of the optional linear transmission member 5.

[0099] Furthermore, with the door-side insertion opening 82 located at the bottom 30 of the door 3, it is particularly difficult for liquids such as rainwater to enter the door-side insertion opening 82. In addition, the door-side insertion opening 82 is inconspicuous and unlikely to damage the appearance of the door 3. Moreover, the linear transmission member 5 inserted through the door-side insertion opening 82 is inconspicuous and unlikely to come into contact with passengers.

[0100] In particular, when the bottom 30 of the door 3 (specifically, the lower surface 3210 of the protruding portion 321 forming at least a part of the bottom 30) has a step 324 in which the rear portion 326 is lower than the front portion 325 and the door-side insertion port 82 is provided on the step 324, for example, the linear transmission member 5 can be arranged along the front portion 325 and inserted into the door-side insertion port 82 provided on the step 324. In this way, the linear transmission member 5 inserted through the door-side insertion port 82 is particularly inconspicuous and particularly difficult to access.

[0101] Furthermore, when the step portion 324 is positioned slightly rearward from the center in the front-rear direction of the bottom 30 of the door 3 (specifically, the lower surface 3210 of the protruding portion 321 forming at least a part of the bottom 30), it can effectively prevent rainwater and other liquids from entering the door side insertion opening 82 along the front side of the door 3. In addition, the door side insertion opening 82 is particularly inconspicuous.

[0102] Furthermore, with the door-side insertion port 82 positioned below the speaker 323, passengers may have difficulty seeing or touching it. Moreover, the linear transmission member 5 inserted into the door-side insertion port 82 is also difficult for passengers to see or touch.

[0103] Furthermore, when the linear transmission member 5, which is inserted into the door-side insertion port 82, is pulled out from the passenger-landing port 20 on the interior side (specifically, from the vehicle-side insertion port 81 provided on the interior side of the passenger-landing port 20), the linear transmission member 5 can be laid on the interior side, thus making it easy to lay the linear transmission member 5 between the vehicle body 2 and the door 3.

[0104] Furthermore, when the vertical separation distance between the upper end of the door-side insertion port 82 and the floor surface 24 of the vehicle compartment is less than 5 centimeters, the door-side insertion port 82 is not conspicuous. Moreover, the linear transmission member 5 inserted into the door-side insertion port 82 is not conspicuous and is not easily accessible to passengers.

[0105] Furthermore, if the vertical separation distance between the upper end of the door side inlet 82 and the floor surface 24 of the passenger compartment, and the vertical separation distance between the vehicle side inlet 81 and the floor surface 24 of the passenger compartment, are both less than 5 cm, then when the linear transmission member 5 is installed between the vehicle body 2 and the door 3, there is no need to create a large height difference, thus making the installation of the linear transmission member 5 particularly easy. In addition, since the linear transmission member 5 is installed at a sufficiently low position, it is inconspicuous and unlikely to come into contact with passengers.

[0106] [Variation Example]

[0107] The door 3 of the above-described embodiment can also be obtained by replacing at least a portion of the existing door trim panel installed on the panel 31 with replacement interior trim. Figure 11 An example of a replacement interior trim panel 32a installed on panel 31 is shown.

[0108] The replacement door panel 32a, like the door panel 32 in the above embodiment, has a door-side insertion port 82a through which the linear transmission member 5 for optional items is inserted. The door-side insertion port 82a is located at a position that is partially obscured by the door 3 when viewed from above while the replacement door panel 32a is installed on the panel 31.

[0109] Specifically, for example, the replaceable door trim panel 32a, like the door trim panel 32 in the above-described embodiment, includes a protruding portion 321a, a door storage compartment 322a provided in the protruding portion 321a, and a speaker 323a, etc. Furthermore, the lower surface 3210a of the protruding portion 321a is formed, for example, by a step portion 324a located rearward from the center in the longitudinal direction, a front portion 325a connected to the upper edge of the step portion 324a and extending forward therefrom, and a rear portion 326a connected to the lower edge of the step portion 324a and extending rearward therefrom. A door side insertion opening 82a is provided in the step portion 324a.

[0110] For example, at the manufacturing stage of vehicle 1, a door trim panel 932 without a door side insertion opening 82a is installed on the panel 31 of door 3. Then, after vehicle 1 leaves the factory, when the linear transmission member 5 is installed according to the optional accessories, at least a portion of the existing door trim panel 932 is replaced, and a replacement door trim panel 32a is installed on the panel 31. Specifically, for example, the protruding portion 9321 of the existing door trim panel 932 is removed from the panel 31, and the replacement door trim panel 32a is installed on the panel 31 in place of the protruding portion 9321. Thus, a door 3 with a door side insertion opening 82a is obtained.

[0111] In the door 3 where the replacement door trim panel 32a is installed on the panel 31, the door side insertion port 82a for the insertion of the linear transmission member 5 is located in a position that is partially obscured when viewed from above, making it difficult for rainwater or other liquids falling from above to enter the door side insertion port 82a. That is, rainwater or other liquids are prevented from entering through the door side insertion port 82a. In addition, after the vehicle 1 leaves the factory, when the linear transmission member 5 is installed according to the optional accessories, if at least a portion of the existing door trim panel 932 is replaced with the replacement door trim panel 32a, then in the stage where no optional accessories are installed, there will be no situation where passengers or others feel uncomfortable with the door side insertion port 82a being located in the door 3 when it is not in use.

[0112] The wiring unit 700a may also include an optional linear transmission member 5, a wiring guide 7, and a replaceable door trim panel 32a. In the wiring unit 700a, the linear transmission member 5 may also be inserted into the cylinder of the wiring guide 7. Furthermore, the wiring guide 7 may be restricted to an orientation in which the second path limiting member 72 extends along the front portion 325a, and one end is connected to the door-side insertion port 82a. In this case, the linear transmission member 5 is inserted into the door-side insertion port 82a by inserting into the cylinder of the wiring guide 7.

[0113] When using such a wiring unit 700a, the linear transmission member 5 is installed on the panel 31 by replacing at least a portion of the existing door trim panel 932 with the replacement door trim panel 32a. This allows the linear transmission member 5 to be introduced into the interior of the door 3 at one end through the door-side insertion port 82a, and it extends in a state guided by the wiring guide 7. Therefore, the operation of laying the linear transmission member 5 between the vehicle body 2 and the door 3 can be simplified.

[0114] In the above embodiment, the door panel 32 has a step portion 324 provided on the lower surface 3210 of the protruding portion 321, and a door side insertion opening 82 is provided on the step portion 324. However, the door panel 32 does not necessarily have to have the step portion 324, and the door side insertion opening 82 may not be provided on the step portion 324.

[0115] For example Figure 12The door trim panel 32b shown is similar to the door trim panel 32 of the embodiment described above, including a protruding portion 321b, a door storage compartment 322b disposed in the protruding portion 321b, and a speaker 323b. However, in this door trim panel 32b, the lower surface 3210b of the protruding portion 321b is formed by a central portion 324b extending horizontally along the front and rear, a front curved portion 325b connected to the front of the central portion 324b, and a rear curved portion 326b connected to the rear of the central portion 324b. The front curved portion 325b is formed to curve upwards with a gentle curve drawn from the front end of the central portion 324b toward the front. The rear curved portion 326b is formed to curve upwards with a gentle curve drawn from the rear end of the central portion 324b toward the rear.

[0116] In such a door panel 32b, the door side insertion opening 82b can also be provided, for example, in the front curved portion 325b. This door side insertion opening 82b, like the door side insertion opening 82 in the above embodiment, is also obscured by the protruding portion 321b when viewed from above. Furthermore, this door side insertion opening 82b, like the door side insertion opening 82 in the above embodiment, allows the linear transmission member 5 to be inserted through from front to back.

[0117] In the above embodiment, the door side insertion opening 82 is provided at the bottom 30 of the door 3, but the door side insertion opening 82 can also be provided at a position other than the bottom 30. That is, the door side insertion opening 82 can also be provided at a position other than the bottom 30, which is partially obscured by the door 3 when viewed from above. For example, if the door 3 has a downward-facing surface area or a surface area facing diagonally downward in addition to the bottom 30, the door side insertion opening 82 can also be provided in that surface area.

[0118] In the above embodiment, when viewed from above, the door side insertion opening 82 is obscured by the protruding portion 321. However, when viewed from above, the portion of the door 3 that obscures the door side insertion opening 82 does not necessarily have to be the protruding portion 321. That is, the portion of the door 3 that obscures the door side insertion opening 82 can be a portion other than the protruding portion 321 in the door panel 32, or it can be a portion of the panel 31. In other words, it is acceptable as long as at least one of the door panel 32 and the panel 31 has a shape portion that obscures the door side insertion opening 82. For example, a recess may be provided in a portion of the door 3, and the door side insertion opening 82 may be provided in the recess. Alternatively, for example, a protrusion may be provided in a portion of the door 3, and the door side insertion opening 82 may be provided on the underside of the protrusion.

[0119] In the above embodiments, the wiring structure 10 does not necessarily have to include the wiring guide 7. Alternatively, the wiring structure 10 may replace the wiring guide 7 with a flexible cylindrical member (e.g., a wire sheath or corrugated tube) that covers the portion of the linear transmission member 5 that is laid between the vehicle body 2 and the door 3.

[0120] In the above-described embodiments, the front side panel 222 can also be a replaceable component. For example, it is possible that, at the factory stage of vehicle 1, a front side panel without the body side insertion port 81 is installed on the main body 21, and after vehicle 1 leaves the factory, when the linear transmission member 5 is installed according to the optional accessories, at least a portion of the existing front side panel is replaced, and a replaceable front side panel with the body side insertion port 81 is installed on the main body 21.

[0121] In the above-described embodiments, it is also possible that, in the state where no optional accessories are installed and the linear transmission member 5 is not inserted into the vehicle side insertion port 81 and the door side insertion port 82, one or both of the vehicle side insertion port 81 and the door side insertion port 82 are blocked by a cover member, a film, or the like. In this case, after the vehicle 1 leaves the factory, when the linear transmission member 5 is installed according to the optional accessories, it is sufficient to expose the vehicle side insertion port 81 and the door side insertion port 82 simply by removing the cover member or breaking the film. Furthermore, the gap between the vehicle side insertion port 81 and the linear transmission member 5 inserted therein can also be filled with a filler material or the like.

[0122] In the above-described embodiments, the linear transmission member 4 for standard-mounted items can also be arranged between the vehicle body 2 and the door 3 via the vehicle side insertion port 81 and the door side insertion port 82. That is, each insertion port 81 and 82 can also be used for the linear transmission member 4 for standard-mounted items to be inserted. When the linear transmission member 4 for standard-mounted items is inserted through each insertion port 81 and 82, a wiring guide 7 can also be provided to guide the portion of the linear transmission member 4 for standard-mounted items that is arranged between the vehicle body 2 and the door 3. For example, when both the linear transmission member 4 for standard-mounted items and the linear transmission member 5 for optional items are arranged via the vehicle side insertion port 81 and the door side insertion port 82, the two linear transmission members 4 and 5 can also be uniformly guided by a shared wiring guide 7. Specifically, for example, the two linear transmission members 4 and 5 can also be inserted into the cylinder of the same wiring guide 7.

[0123] As described above, vehicle doors and interior trim for replacing vehicle doors have been explained in detail; however, the above description is illustrative in all respects and this disclosure is not limited thereto. Furthermore, the structures described in the above embodiments and variations can be combined and applied as long as they do not contradict each other. Moreover, it can be understood that numerous variations not illustrated can be conceived without departing from the scope of this disclosure.
