[0002] Currently, the popular non-metallic door outer panels on the market are mostly equal-thickness and thin-plate parts made of resin injection molding. Although the purpose of reducing the weight of a single part is achieved, the door outer panels made of a single resin material are in an equal-thickness and thin-plate state as a whole. Due to the low modulus and large linear expansion coefficient of the resin material, the rigidity of the door outer panels is poor, and the difference in external dimensions under high and low temperature conditions is too large. In addition, after being affected by environmental factors such as high and low temperatures, the door panels are severely deformed, resulting in difficulty in ensuring the gap surface difference on the side of the vehicle body, affecting the appearance quality and refinement of the vehicle body, and in severe cases affecting the normal opening and closing function of the door.

[0019] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0020] In the figure, the exterior layer 100 of the vehicle door outer panel; the middle reinforcement layer 200 of the vehicle door outer panel; the reinforcement rib 300; the connecting part 301; and the protruding part 302.

[0021] like Figure 1As shown, the improved structure of the vehicle door outer panel includes a vehicle door outer panel appearance layer 100, a vehicle door outer panel middle reinforcement layer 200 and a reinforcement rib 300, wherein the reinforcement rib 300 is connected to the back side of the vehicle door outer panel middle reinforcement layer 200, and the vehicle door outer panel appearance layer 100 is connected to the front side of the vehicle door outer panel middle reinforcement layer 200, wherein the reinforcement rib 300 can be connected to the back side of the vehicle door outer panel middle reinforcement layer 200 by gluing, welding or injection molding, and the vehicle door outer panel appearance layer 100 can also be connected to the front side of the vehicle door outer panel middle reinforcement layer 200 by gluing or injection molding. In the present embodiment, the vehicle door outer panel middle reinforcement layer 200 and the reinforcement rib 300 are integrally molded by compression molding, and the vehicle door outer panel appearance layer 100 is integrally injection molded on the front side of the vehicle door outer panel middle reinforcement layer 200.

[0022] like Figure 3 As shown, the structure of the reinforcing rib 300 is different from the structure of an ordinary reinforcing layer or reinforcing plate. The reinforcing layer or reinforcing plate is an integral structure, and the main design of the reinforcing rib 300 is iteratively optimized according to the results of computer mold flow analysis and thermal deformation analysis, which is equivalent to forming a partially hollowed-out structure on the back of the middle reinforcing layer 200 of the entire door outer panel. The reinforcing rib 300 can be divided into two forms. The first is that the reinforcing rib 300 is composed of a plurality of reinforcing heads, and the reinforcing head includes a connecting portion 301. In order to further enhance the strength, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, another embodiment is that the reinforcing rib 300 is composed of a plurality of reinforcing heads, and the reinforcing head is composed of a connecting portion 301 and a protruding portion 302 , wherein the protruding portion 302 protrudes from the connecting portion 301 .

[0023] Specifically, the door outer panel is firstly formed by compression molding of the door outer panel middle reinforcement layer 200 and the reinforcement rib 300, and then the door outer panel appearance layer 100 is injection molded. The patent utilizes the reinforcement rib 300 to increase the rigidity of the door outer panel, improve the product refinement of the outer panel, make the side of the car body more beautiful, significantly improve the problem of serious heat deformation of traditional plastic outer panels, and have better dimensional stability.

[0024] like Figure 2 as well as Figure 3As shown, the middle reinforcement layer 200 of the door outer panel is a continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite, the thickness of the middle reinforcement layer 200 of the door outer panel is 0.1-1.2mm, and it is optimized to 0.2mm in the embodiment. The reinforcing rib 300 is a thermoplastic resin part, and the reinforcing rib 300 is composed of a plurality of reinforcing heads, and the reinforcing head includes a connecting portion 301, and the thickness of the connecting portion 301 is 1.5-3mm. The actual connecting portion 301 of the reinforcing rib 300 is optimized to 2.5mm. The appearance layer 100 of the door outer panel is a thermoplastic resin part, and the thickness of the appearance layer 100 of the door outer panel is 2.0-3.0mm, and it is actually optimized to 2.2mm. The thermoplastic resin part and the continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite material used here can significantly reduce the weight compared with the metal door outer panel, and can reduce the weight by about 40%-50%. In addition, the material uses thermoplastic resin as the matrix and can be recycled and reused. The entire door outer panel has a good sense of refinement and the side of the car body is more beautiful.

[0025] The specific embodiments described in this article are merely examples of the spirit of the present invention. Technicians in the technical field to which the present invention belongs can make various modifications to the described specific embodiments or replace them in similar ways, but they will not deviate from the scope defined by the spirit of the present invention.
