Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of automobile door panels, in particular to a handle box and a door panel structure. Background Art
[0002] As basic functional components of automobiles, handrails, handle boxes and window switch panels often appear on the door panels of automobiles at the same time. Handrails are used for passengers to hold their hands to stabilize their bodies when the car is driving at high speed or turning. They are often used in conjunction with handle boxes, which can be used to hold the passengers' hands when they hold the handrails, and can also be used as a storage box to place small items at other times. In addition, the switch panel is often located at one end of the handrail and handle box and close to the two.
[0003] In the prior art, a car door panel includes a door panel frame. Since the armrest, handle box and switch panel are all arranged on the car door panel, the switch panel and the handle box are both located on the side of the armrest away from the passenger. The switch panel is connected to the handle box, and the handle box is connected to the armrest and the door panel frame at the end away from the switch panel. The armrest is connected to the door panel frame at the end of the switch panel away from the handle box, but there is no direct connection between the armrest and the switch panel.
[0004] In actual application, when a passenger holds the handrail, especially when the passenger holds the handrail close to the switch panel, a gap will be generated between the handrail and the switch panel under the action of force. The gap will give the passenger a bad feeling, and the palm of the hand may be pinched by the gap here, posing a safety hazard. Utility Model Content
[0005] The utility model aims to provide a handle box and door panel structure to solve the problem in the prior art that a gap is generated between the handrail and the switch panel when the handrail is pulled.
[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solution: a handle box, comprising a box body, wherein one end of the box body close to the switch panel is provided with a support ear for connecting with other components.
[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model also adopts the following technical solution: a door panel, including an armrest, and also includes the handle box in the above-mentioned solution, wherein the support ear of the handle box is detachably connected to the armrest.
[0008] The design idea, principle and beneficial effect of this solution are: Based on the phenomenon presented by the problem - there is a gap between the handrail and the switch panel, the general solution first considers strengthening the relationship between the handrail and the switch panel to make the two firmly connected to eliminate the gap between the two. Due to space limitations and installation convenience, if the handrail and the switch panel are to be directly connected to maintain relative fixity, the handrail, switch panel and door panel must all be changed, and the changes are large and costly. Therefore, the inventor continued to explore in depth. If it is not possible to establish a direct connection between the handrail and the switch panel, then whether it is possible to establish a connection through an indirect way and the handrail will only have a gap with the switch panel when subjected to external force, which means that the handrail has deformed or displaced when subjected to force. Therefore, based on comprehensive considerations of the design, space, installation and other aspects of the existing structure, the inventor designed a support ear at one end of the handle box body close to the switch panel, and connected the support ear to the handrail to strengthen the connection strength between the handrail and the handle box, thereby stabilizing the handrail. It can be seen from the prior art that the handle box is connected to the switch panel and can remain relatively fixed. Therefore, this solution can maintain the relative fixity between the handrail and the switch panel, thereby solving the problem of a gap between the handrail and the switch panel.
[0009] Preferably, as an improvement of the handle box, the contact surface of the ear is provided with a first reinforcing rib.
[0010] In this solution, since the ear will be connected to other components, the contact surface of the ear is designed to have a first reinforcing rib to prevent the ear from shrinking during injection molding, thereby affecting the appearance and assembly. At the same time, the first reinforcing rib can increase the strength of the ear.
[0011] Preferably, as an improvement of the handle box, the thickness of the ear is 2-2.5 mm, and the height of the first reinforcing rib is 2.5-3 mm.
[0012] In this solution, a size range is designed for the support ear and the first reinforcing rib, which can avoid warping of the support ear during injection molding and ensure the strength of the support ear.
[0013] Preferably, as an improvement of the handle box, a plurality of second reinforcing ribs are provided on the back of the box body, and the second reinforcing ribs are connected to the supporting ears and the first reinforcing ribs.
[0014] In this solution, the second reinforcing rib is equivalent to adding another connection on the basis of the original connection between the support ear and the box body. It can not only support the support ear and strengthen the strength of the support ear, but also make the support ear less likely to deform when the support ear is subjected to force, thereby ensuring the stability of the support ear in the connection.
[0015] Preferably, as an improvement of the handle box, a plurality of third reinforcing ribs are provided on the back side of the box body.
[0016] In actual applications, when the handrail is pulled, the handle box will be subjected to corresponding force due to the connection between the handle box and the handrail. If the handle box is not strong enough, the handle box will be deformed, resulting in deformation of the handrail and the handle box as a whole, thereby causing a gap between the handrail and the switch panel. For this reason, a third reinforcing rib is designed on the box body to strengthen the strength of the box body and prevent the box body from being deformed when subjected to force.
[0017] Preferably, as an improvement of the handle box, the ear and the box body are integrally formed and the connection is smoothly transitioned.
[0018] In this solution, the ear and the box body are designed to be integrally connected to facilitate processing, and a smooth transition is provided at the connection between the two to disperse the stress when the ear is subjected to force, so that the ear has better toughness.
[0019] Preferably, as an improvement of the door panel, it further comprises a door panel frame, and the door panel frame is detachably connected to the armrest and the support ear.
[0020] In actual applications, due to the long length of the handrail, if only the handrail and the support ear are connected together, the handrail may still be deformed under the action of a strong pulling force, and then a gap will be generated with the switch panel. However, this solution designs the armrest, the support ear and the door panel frame to be connected, which is equivalent to connecting the armrest and the support ear and also connecting the armrest and the door panel frame here, thereby achieving the effect of strengthening the stability of the handrail.
[0021] Preferably, as an improvement of the door panel, the handrail is provided with a BOSS column, the door panel frame is provided with a through hole, the support ear is provided with a through hole, and the three are connected by screws.
[0022] In this solution, a specific connection method of the handrail, door panel frame and support ear is demonstrated, and screws are used to pass through the support ear and door panel frame, and then screwed into the BOSS column of the handrail, so that the three are firmly connected together.
[0023] Preferably, as an improvement, a plurality of supporting ribs are provided at the bottom of the BOSS column.
[0024] In this solution, the design of the supporting ribs can strengthen the strength of the BOSS column, thereby ensuring the connection strength between the lugs, door panel frame and handrails. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0031] The following is further described in detail through specific implementation methods:
[0032] Example 1
[0033] Basically Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown: a door panel, including a door panel frame 3 ( Figure 1 and Figure 2 Only part of the door panel frame is shown), the switch panel 4, the handrail 2 and the handle box, the switch panel 4 and the handle box are both located on the side of the handrail 2 away from the passenger, the switch panel 4 is connected to the handle box 1, the handle box 1 is connected to the handrail 2 and the door panel frame 3 at the end away from the switch panel 4, the handrail 2 is connected to the door panel frame at the end of the switch panel 4 away from the handle box 1, the handle box includes a box body 10, the box body 10 is provided with a lug 11 at the end close to the switch panel 4, the lug 11 is used for detachable connection with the handrail 2. Here, for the convenience of processing, the lug 11 is designed to be integrally formed with the box body 10, and the connection between the two is set with a smooth transition to disperse stress.
[0034] Since the lug 11 is used to connect with the handrail 2 to strengthen the connection strength between the handle box and the handrail 2, the lug 11 cannot be too thin, otherwise the strength is insufficient and the handle box and the handrail 2 cannot maintain a stable connection; but the lug 11 cannot be too thick, otherwise the surface shrinkage may be uneven during injection molding, affecting the appearance and the subsequent assembly. For this reason, as a further improvement, Figure 4As shown, a first reinforcing rib 12 is designed on the contact surface of the lug 11 (i.e., the side of the lug that contacts the handrail when connected to other parts such as the handrail) to avoid warping of the lug 11 during injection molding and to ensure the strength of the lug 11. As an example, the thickness of the lug 11 is designed to be 2-2.5 mm, preferably, the thickness of the lug 11 is 2 mm; the depth of the first reinforcing rib 12 is 2.5-3 mm, preferably, the depth of the first reinforcing rib 12 is 3 mm, and the depth is the distance from one end of the first reinforcing rib 12 close to the contact surface to the other end opposite thereto. In order to make the first reinforcing rib play a better effect of reinforcing the strength of the lug, as a further improvement, the number of the first reinforcing ribs is designed to be ≥ 2, and they are connected to each other.
[0035] As can be seen from the above, the thickness of the ear 11 cannot be too thick, so the connection between the ear 11 and the box body 10 may not be stable enough when subjected to force. Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of second reinforcing ribs are provided on the back side of the box body 10 (i.e., the side not visible to passengers), and the second reinforcing ribs are connected to the lugs and the first reinforcing ribs. Here, the second reinforcing ribs 13 are equivalent to connecting the lugs 11 and the box body 10, and they not only support the lugs 11, but also strengthen the lugs 11, so as to ensure the stability of the lugs 11 in the connection relationship.
[0036] It can be seen from the prior art and the above embodiments that the handrail 2 and the handle box are connected by both a buckle connection and a support ear 11 on the box body 10. Therefore, when the handrail 2 is pulled, the handle box will also be subjected to force accordingly. If the handle box is not strong enough, the handle box will deform, causing the handrail 2 and the handle box to deform as a whole, thereby causing a gap 5 to form between the handrail 2 and the switch panel 4. For this reason, as a further improvement, if Figure 4 As shown, a third reinforcing rib 14 is provided on the box body 10 to strengthen the strength of the box body 10 and prevent the box body 10 from being deformed when subjected to force.
[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the length of the handrail 2 is relatively long, and the position where the gap 5 is generated between the handrail 2 and the switch panel 4 is located near the handle box, that is, near the middle of the handrail 2. Therefore, although the handrail 2 and the handle box are connected by the lug 11 to strengthen the strength of the connection between the two, under a strong pulling force, the handrail 2 may cause the handle box to deform as a whole, thereby causing the gap 5 to be generated between the handrail 2 and the switch panel 4. Therefore, as a further improvement, Figure 1As shown, the door panel frame 3 of the door panel is designed to be detachably connected to the armrest 2 and the support ear 11, and the armrest 2 is stabilized by strengthening the connection strength between the armrest 2 and the door panel frame 3 to prevent the armrest 2 from being deformed due to its length when being pulled.
[0038] As an example, the connection method of the handrail 2, the door panel frame 3 and the ear 11 is as follows: Figure 1 As shown in Figure 5, in this embodiment, a BOSS column 21 is arranged on the handrail 2, a through hole is arranged on the door panel frame 3, and a through hole is arranged on the ear 11. Then, a screw is used to pass through the through hole of the ear 11 and the door panel frame 3, and then screwed into the BOSS column 21 to achieve the purpose of firmly connecting the three together. This connection method is more secure than the connection of the buckle slot, and it is not easy to cause relative displacement between the three. Figure 5 As shown, a plurality of support ribs 22 are also provided along the periphery of the bottom of the BOSS column 21 to strengthen the strength of the BOSS column 21. As an example, four support ribs 22 are designed to be evenly distributed along the periphery of the BOSS column 21.
