[0002] The steel door frame structure of the car's outer panel is an important component of the car door. It usually forms the overall frame of the door together with the outer door panel, the inner door panel, and other reinforcing structures. The outer door panel is the outer covering of the door and is usually stamped from a thin alloy material. The door frame reinforcing plate is a key component in the steel door frame structure, used to enhance the strength and rigidity of the door frame. It is usually welded or bolted to the outer door panel to form a sturdy frame.

[0003] Traditional steel door frame anti-collision structures can effectively resist frontal impact forces. However, when faced with an accidental impact from the side of the vehicle's bottom, the side of the key connection part of its reinforcement mechanism is unable to withstand the huge impact force and is prone to breakage. This results in severe deformation of the side of the steel door frame, weakening the protective effectiveness of the anti-collision structure and posing a serious threat. Therefore, a steel door frame structure for automobile outer panels is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0028] A steel door frame structure for an automobile outer panel includes a door frame 1, with an outer panel 2 fixedly connected to the back of the door frame 1. An impact-resistant component 3 is provided at the bottom of the rear end face of the door frame 1. The impact-resistant component 3 includes a first steel plate 31, which is welded and fixed to one side of the inner wall of the door frame 1. A first support plate 32 is fixedly connected to the surface of the first steel plate 31. A second steel plate 33 is welded and fixed to the other side of the inner wall of the door frame 1. A second support plate 34 is fixedly connected to the surface of the second steel plate 33. Both the first support plate 32 and the second support plate 34 are made of nickel-based alloy material with a thickness of 2 cm, which has good toughness. Two sets of slots 35 are opened on the surface of both the first support plate 32 and the second steel plate 33. A reinforcing mechanism 36 is installed between a support plate 32 and a second support plate 34 via a connecting mechanism 4. The reinforcing mechanism 36 includes a fixing sleeve 361, a corrugated plate 362 fixedly connected to the outer side of the fixing sleeve 361, a fixing rod 363 fixedly connected to the middle of the fixing sleeve 361, and a spring telescopic rod 365 hinged to the top of the fixing sleeve 361 via a first mounting seat 364. A second mounting seat 366 is hinged to the top of the spring telescopic rod 365. The connecting mechanism 4 includes a fixing cylinder 41, a buffer plate 42 fixedly connected to the inner side of the fixing cylinder 41. The buffer plate 42 is made of titanium alloy and has good ductility. A connecting rod 43 is installed on the inner side of the buffer plate 42, and an anti-detachment disc 44 is fixedly connected to the rear end face of the connecting rod 43.

[0029] As a further implementation of this scheme, each group of slots 35 is set to have a number of slots 35, and the slots 35 are arranged at equal intervals. The slots 35 are trapezoidal in shape and are located on both sides of the first support plate 32 and the second support plate 34. The slots 35 reserve space for the deformation of the first support plate 32 and the second support plate 34.

[0030] As a further implementation of this solution, the projected shape of the fixing sleeve 361 is rectangular, and the length of the fixing sleeve 361 is adapted to the length of the corrugated plate 362. The vertical cross-sectional shape of the corrugated plate 362 is corrugated. When the front of the corrugated plate 362 is impacted, the energy generated by the impact is absorbed by the deformation of the corrugated plate 362, thereby protecting the fixing sleeve 361 behind it.

[0031] As a further implementation of this solution, the first mounting base 364 is located at the middle of the top of the fixed sleeve 361, and the bottom end of the first mounting base 364 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixed sleeve 361, so that the force between the components is more balanced.

[0032] As a further implementation of this solution, there are two connecting mechanisms 4 in the middle of the first support plate 32, and one connecting mechanism 4 in the middle of the first support plate 32. The first support plate 32 is fixedly connected to the corresponding fixed cylinder 41, and the second support plate 34 is fixedly connected to the corresponding fixed cylinder 41. The purpose of this solution is to improve the firmness between the components.

[0033] As a further implementation of this solution, the fixed cylinder 41 is provided with several buffer plates 42, which are arranged equidistantly on the inner side of the fixed cylinder 41. The buffer plates 42 are located in front of the anti-detachment disc 44. The bottom connecting rod 43 is fixedly connected to the fixed rod 363, and the top connecting rod 43 is fixedly connected to the second mounting base 366. The position of the buffer plates 42 is used to limit the position of the anti-detachment disc 44, preventing the connecting rod 43 from detaching from the corresponding fixed cylinder 41.

[0034] Workflow: When the bottom side of the door frame 1 is impacted, the force from the front of the door frame 1 is quickly applied to the first steel plate 31 and the first support plate 32, and the force from the rear of the door frame 1 is quickly applied to the second steel plate 33 and the second support plate 34. If the first support plate 32 and the second support plate 34 cannot withstand this impact force, they will bend. Two sets of slots 35 are provided on both sides of the first support plate 32 and the second support plate 34. The slots 35 reserve space for the deformation of the first support plate 32 and the second support plate 34, and the deformation of the first support plate 32 and the second support plate 34 absorbs the energy generated by the impact.

[0035] To further enhance the structural strength between the first support plate 32 and the second support plate 34, a reinforcement mechanism 36 is provided. The first support plate 32, the fixing rod 363, and the spring telescopic rod 365 together form a stable triangular structure. The triangle, with its excellent stability, can effectively resist the impact force from the middle of the side of the door frame 1, thereby significantly improving the overall safety. When the connection between the reinforcement mechanism 36 and the first support plate 32 and the second support plate 34 is impacted, the connecting rod 43 will squeeze the relative buffer plate 42 inside the fixing cylinder 41, causing it to deform, thereby absorbing or mitigating the impact on the connection and avoiding the problem of connection breakage caused by rigid connection.

[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
