[0028] Embodiments of this disclosure are described in detail below, with examples of embodiments illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this disclosure, and should not be construed as limiting this disclosure.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the car door 100 of this embodiment includes a door body 1 and an outer handle 2. The door body 1 is provided with a first mounting portion 11 and a lock hole 12, and the outer handle 2 is provided with a first connecting portion 21. The orthographic projection of the lock hole 12 in the thickness direction of the door body 1 covers the first mounting portion 11, and the first mounting portion 11 and the first connecting portion 21 are connected.

[0030] The keyhole 12 is used to install the lock tongue. When the lock tongue is not installed in the keyhole 12, there are no other parts inside the keyhole 12, so tools can pass through the keyhole 12. The first mounting part 11 and the first connecting part 21 can be connected by bolts or screws. The tools can be screwdrivers, screw tightening guns, etc., for tightening bolts or screws.

[0031] The lock hole 12, when projected onto the thickness of the door body 1, covers the first mounting portion 11. This can be understood as the lock hole 12 being positioned corresponding to the first mounting portion 11 along the thickness of the door body 1. The fact that the lock hole 12, when projected onto the thickness of the door body 1, covers the first mounting portion 11 allows tools to pass through the lock hole 12 for operation, thereby connecting the first mounting portion 11 to the first connecting portion 21.

[0032] When assembling the car door 100 according to this embodiment, firstly, the first mounting portion 11 of the outer handle 2 is aligned with the first mounting portion 11 of the door body 1; then, a tool is passed through the lock hole 12, and the first mounting portion 11 is connected to the first connecting portion 21 using the tool, thereby connecting the outer handle 2 to the door body 1. Since the lock hole 12 does not require sealing or other processing, the sealing component for sealing the lock hole 12 and the process of sealing the lock hole 12 can be eliminated. This not only reduces the number of parts in the car door 100 but also improves the assembly efficiency of the car door 100, thereby reducing the cost of the car door 100.

[0033] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the door body 1 includes a first plate 101, a second plate 102, and a third plate 103. The first plate 101 and the third plate 103 are arranged at intervals along the thickness direction of the door body 1, and both the first plate 101 and the third plate 103 are connected to the second plate 102. A first mounting portion 11 is provided on the first plate 101, a first portion 121 of the lock hole 12 is provided on the third plate 103, and a second portion 122 of the lock hole 12 is provided on the second plate 102. The orthographic projection of the first portion 121 in the thickness direction of the door body 1 covers the first mounting portion 11.

[0034] For example, the first plate 101 is disposed outside the third plate 103, and the second plate 102 is disposed between the first plate 101 and the third plate 103 in the inward and outward directions. The outward projection of the first portion 121 of the lock hole 12 covers the first mounting portion 11.

[0035] By setting the first part 121 of the lock hole 12 on the third plate 103 and the second part 122 of the lock hole 12 on the second plate 102, the shape of the lock hole 12 is consistent with the shape of the lock hole in the related technology, which facilitates the design and manufacturing of the door body 1 and helps to further reduce the cost of the door 100.

[0036] Optionally, the first plate 101 is the outer panel of the door, and the second plate 102 and the third plate 103 are integrally formed to form the inner panel of the door, wherein the second plate 102 is formed by bending a part of the inner panel of the door toward the outer panel of the door.

[0037] The inner and outer door panels can be welded or riveted together.

[0038] Optionally, the outer door panel includes an outer panel body and an outer panel reinforcing plate, the outer panel reinforcing plate being connected to the outer panel body, and the first mounting part 11 being disposed on the outer panel reinforcing plate.

[0039] The outer panel reinforcement plate can be welded or riveted to the outer panel body.

[0040] Optionally, the orthographic projection of the first part 121 in the thickness direction of the door body 1 is rectangular.

[0041] By setting the first part 121 as a rectangle, it is easier to process and manufacture the first part 121, thereby facilitating the processing and manufacturing of the door body 1, which helps to further reduce the cost of the door 100.

[0042] Optionally, the length of each side of the rectangle is greater than or equal to 20 mm.

[0043] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the length of the shorter side of the first part 121 is L1, and the length of the longer side of the first part 121 is L2. Both L1 and L2 are greater than 20mm. For example, L1 is 22mm and L2 is 24mm.

[0044] By setting the side length of the rectangle to be greater than or equal to 20mm, the size of the first part 121 is made larger, making it easier for tools to pass through. This facilitates the passage of tools through the lock hole 12, which helps to further improve the assembly efficiency of the door 100 and reduce the cost of the door 100.

[0045] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the first plate 101 is provided with a second mounting part 13, and the third plate 103 is provided with a handle through hole 14 for the outer handle 2 to pass through. The outer handle 2 is provided with a second connecting part 22. The orthographic projection of the handle through hole 14 in the thickness direction of the door body 1 covers the second mounting part 13, and the second mounting part 13 is connected to the second connecting part 22.

[0046] The orthographic projection of the handle through hole 14 on the thickness direction of the door body 1 covers the second mounting part 13, which can be understood as: the handle through hole 14 is provided corresponding to the second mounting part 13 on the thickness direction of the door body 1.

[0047] The orthographic projection of the handle through hole 14 in the thickness direction of the door body 1 covers the second mounting part 13, so that the tool can be operated through the handle through hole 14, and the second mounting part 13 is connected to the second connecting part 22.

[0048] For example, the outward projection of the handle perforation 14 covers the second mounting portion 13.

[0049] When the door 100 is assembled, the outer handle 2 passes through the handle through hole 14, and the first mounting part 11 is aligned with the first connecting part 21, and the second mounting part 13 is aligned with the second connecting part 22; then, the tool passes through the handle through hole 14, and the tool is used to connect the second mounting part 13 and the second connecting part 22 to realize the connection between the outer handle 2 and the door body 1.

[0050] Therefore, the handle hole 14 can be used not only for the outer handle 2 to pass through, but also for tools to pass through, eliminating the need for additional tool holes on the third plate 103. This allows tools to be used to connect the second mounting part 13 and the second connecting part 22. As a result, the number of parts in the door 100 is further reduced, and the assembly efficiency of the door 100 is further improved, thereby further reducing the cost of the door 100.

[0051] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, the handle through hole 14 includes a tool through portion 141, and the distance between the tool through portion 141 and the lock hole 12 is less than the distance between the rest of the handle through hole 14 and the lock hole 12. The orthographic projection of the tool through portion 141 in the thickness direction of the door body 1 covers the second mounting portion 13.

[0052] By setting the distance between the tool through part 141 and the key hole 12 to be less than the distance between the rest of the handle through hole 14 and the key hole 12, the overall distance between the handle through hole 14 and the key hole 12 is greater, which is beneficial to improving the structural strength of the third plate 103 and the reliability of the door 100.

[0053] Optionally, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first plate 101 has a third mounting portion 15, the third plate 103 has a tool through hole 16, and the outer handle 2 has a third connecting portion 23. The orthographic projection of the tool through hole 16 in the thickness direction of the door body 1 covers the third mounting portion 15, and the third mounting portion 15 is connected to the third connecting portion 23. The door 100 also includes a sealing member that blocks the tool through hole 16.

[0054] Among them, the sealing component can be a plug or a patch, etc.

[0055] The tool hole 16 is projected onto the third mounting part 15 in the thickness direction of the door body 1. This can be understood as the tool hole 16 being provided in the thickness direction of the door body 1, corresponding to the third mounting part 15.

[0056] The orthographic projection of the tool hole 16 in the thickness direction of the door body 1 covers the third mounting portion 15, so that the tool can pass through the tool hole 16 for operation, and the third mounting portion 15 is connected to the third connecting portion 23.

[0057] For example, the outward projection of the handle perforation 14 covers the third mounting part 15.

[0058] When assembling the door 100, after the third mounting part 15 and the third connecting part 23 are aligned, the tool passes through the tool hole 16 and the tool is used to connect the third mounting part 15 and the third connecting part 23, thereby connecting the outer handle 2 and the door body 1.

[0059] By providing a third mounting part 15 and a third connecting part 23, and connecting the third mounting part 15 and the third connecting part 23, the connection area between the outer handle 2 and the door body 1 can be increased, thereby improving the connection reliability between the outer handle 2 and the door body 1 and further increasing the reliability of the door 100.

[0060] Optionally, there are multiple third mounting parts 15, third connecting parts 23, sealing parts and tool holes 16, with each third mounting part 15, third connecting parts 23, sealing parts and tool holes 16 corresponding to one another.

[0061] Optionally, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the door 100 also includes a fastener 3, and the first mounting portion 11 and the first connecting portion 21 are connected by the fastener 3. A tool passes through the lock hole 12 to operate the fastener 3 to connect the first mounting portion 11 and the first connecting portion 21.

[0062] Among them, fastener 3 can be bolts, screws, etc.

[0063] The first mounting part 11 and the first connecting part 21 are connected by fasteners 3, which facilitates the connection and fixation of the outer handle 2 and the door body 1, and helps to further improve the assembly efficiency of the door 100 and reduce the cost of the door 100.

[0064] In other embodiments, the first mounting part 11 and the first connecting part 21 can also be welded. In this case, the tool is a welding gun, and the key hole 12 allows the welding gun to pass through.

[0065] In related technologies, in order to ensure the appearance quality of the car door, the tool hole is usually arranged inside the door's sealing strip, which results in a greater distance between the outer handle and the edge of the car door. For example, the outer handle is far from the rear edge of the car door, and the outer handle cannot be arranged at the rear of the car door body, affecting the user's ease of operation of the outer handle.

[0066] Optionally, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the door body 1 has a first edge 104 and a second edge that are disposed opposite to each other along its width direction. The distance between the outer handle 2 and the first edge 104 is smaller than the distance between the outer handle 2 and the second edge. The minimum distance between the outer handle 2 and the first edge 104 is 90mm to 110mm.

[0067] The first edge 104 can be the rear edge, and the second edge is the front edge. The outer handle 2 is located near the rear edge of the door body 1. The minimum distance between the outer handle 2 and the first edge 104 can be 98mm.

[0068] By setting the minimum distance between the outer handle 2 and the first edge 104 to 90mm to 110mm, the distance between the outer handle 2 and the first edge 104 is small, allowing the outer handle 2 to be positioned close to the first edge 104 of the door body 1, making it convenient for users to operate the outer handle 2 and improving the ease of operation for users.

[0069] When assembling the door 100 of this embodiment, the assembly worker first places the outer handle 2 between the first plate 101 and the third plate 103 through the handle through hole 14, such that the first connecting part 21 corresponds to the first mounting part 11, the second connecting part 22 corresponds to the second mounting part 13, and the third connecting part 23 corresponds to the third mounting part 15; then, the bolt is aligned with the nut of the first plate 101, one hand holds the outer handle 2, and the other hand holds a tool through the lock hole 12, the handle through hole 14 or the tool through hole 16 to tighten the bolt and the corresponding nut.

[0070] The door 100 of this embodiment avoids the need for a tool hole corresponding to the first mounting portion 11 by setting the lock hole 12 to correspond to the first mounting portion 11, thereby eliminating the need for a sealing member to block the tool hole. On one hand, this eliminates the need for a sealing member, reducing the overall cost of the door 100; on the other hand, assembly workers do not need to install the sealing member, improving the assembly efficiency of the door 100 and reducing assembly time costs. Furthermore, the outer handle 2 is mounted from the lock hole 12, allowing it to be positioned further back on the door, improving ergonomics. Additionally, the lock hole 12 does not require a sealing member, resulting in an invisible cover on the exterior of the door 100 and a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0071] The vehicle in this disclosure includes the door 100 described in any of the above embodiments.

[0072] The vehicles can be electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, or gasoline vehicles.

[0073] Although embodiments of the present disclosure have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present disclosure. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present disclosure.
