Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle engineering technology, and in particular to a vehicle door and vehicle with a drainage structure. Background Technology
[0002] In automotive body engineering, the design of door drainage systems has always been a key factor affecting vehicle durability and user experience. Traditional door structures employ a double-layer sheet metal cavity design. While this structure provides good rigidity and sound insulation, it also presents technical challenges in drainage. This is because water can enter the door's sheet metal cavity to varying degrees during rain or car washes. To prevent water accumulation inside the door, drainage holes are typically created along the lower edge of the inner door panel near the edging to direct water out of the vehicle. Therefore, this design proposes a door with an integrated drainage structure, effectively eliminating the need for pre-drainage holes in the inner door panel and improving the visual aesthetics of the door's opening mechanism. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model embodiment is to provide a car door and a car with a drainage structure. On a car model with a lower outer trim panel, the inner sheet metal of the car door does not have drainage holes, which improves the appearance of the car door after it is opened and ensures that the drainage capacity of the car door sheet metal is not reduced.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a car door with a drainage structure, including a car door sheet metal, a lower outer trim panel connected to the car door sheet metal, and an inner door panel disposed inside the car door sheet metal. The inner door panel is not perforated. Instead of the inner door panel, a drainage hole is formed on the surface of the lower outer trim panel. Water flows from the drainage hole into the lower outer trim panel and then through a gap that runs from front to back through the lower part of the lower outer trim panel to be discharged outside the vehicle.
[0005] Optionally, the door sheet metal is provided with a door panel drainage channel, and the door panel drainage channel is located above the drainage hole of the outer door panel.
[0006] Optionally, the door panel drainage channel includes drainage holes in the inner door panel.
[0007] Optionally, a dirt-proof strip is provided below the drainage hole on the inner panel of the door.
[0008] Optionally, the opposite side of the door sheet metal is provided with a vehicle body side panel, and the drainage hole of the inner door panel is located between the door sheet metal and the vehicle body side panel.
[0009] Optionally, a door sealing strip is provided above the side panel of the vehicle body.
[0010] Optionally, a door sill trim is provided below the lower exterior trim panel of the door.
[0011] A vehicle comprising the aforementioned door with a drainage structure.
[0012] Optionally, one of the above technical solutions has the following advantages or beneficial effects:
[0013] The present invention introduces a drainage structure for the outer door panel. On models with a lower outer door trim panel, by changing the position of the drainage hole on the door sheet metal, the visual aesthetics of the inner door panel after the door is opened are improved. At the same time, on some models with a lower door anti-fouling strip, it can also avoid the problem of water accumulating on the inside of the anti-fouling strip. Attached Figure Description

[0015] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram showing the location of the drainage holes on the outer panel of the car door of this utility model;
[0016] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the exterior of the inner door panel of this utility model;
[0017] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the AA cross-sectional structure of this utility model. Detailed Implementation
[0018] 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, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0019] In existing car door technology, drainage holes are typically created in the inner door panel. This invention revolutionizes this design by eliminating the need for holes in the inner door panel, thus preserving its aesthetically pleasing appearance when the door is open. Instead, drainage holes 04 are created on the lower outer trim panel 02 of the door. These drainage holes 04 are concealed and invisible by the lower outer trim panel 02.
[0020] This utility model embodiment provides a car door with a drainage structure, such as Figure 1 This diagram shows the exterior appearance of the vehicle door of this utility model. The drainage hole 04 on the outer panel of the door is obscured and not visible by the lower trim panel 02 on the outer side of the door. Figure 2 This diagram shows the location of the drainage holes on the outer panel of the car door of this utility model. Figure 2 correspond Figure 1 The drainage hole 04 on the outer door panel is hidden behind the lower trim panel 02 on the outer door panel.
[0021] like Figure 3 This diagram shows the appearance of the inner door panel of this utility model. Under normal circumstances, there is no opening at the drainage hole 09 on the inner door panel, thus ensuring that the inner door panel has a complete and aesthetically pleasing appearance when the door is opened.
[0022] The door with drainage structure designed here includes a drainage structure for the outer door panel with an outer lower trim panel 02 and a dirt-proof strip 07. Its core structure includes a door sheet metal 01, an outer lower trim panel 02 connected to the door sheet metal 01, and an inner door panel located inside the door sheet metal 01. A door sill trim panel 03 is located below the outer lower trim panel 02. The inner door panel is not perforated; instead, a drainage hole 04 is created on the surface of the outer lower trim panel 02. Water flows from the drainage hole 04 into the outer lower trim panel 02, and then through a through-gap at the bottom of the outer lower trim panel 02 to drain outside the vehicle.
[0023] like Figure 4 As shown, the door sheet metal 01 is provided with a door panel drainage channel 08, and the door panel drainage channel 08 is located above the door outer panel drainage hole 04. The door panel drainage channel 08 includes a door inner panel drainage hole 09. A dirt-proof strip 07 is provided below the door inner panel drainage hole 09. A body side panel 06 is provided on the opposite side of the door sheet metal 01, and the door inner panel drainage hole 09 is located between the door sheet metal 01 and the body side panel 06. A door sealing strip 05 is provided above the body side panel 06.
[0024] A vehicle is also proposed, including the aforementioned door with a drainage structure. This type of door, with an outer lower trim panel 02 and a dirt-proof strip 07, has a drainage path that avoids the problem of water accumulation on the inside of the dirt-proof strip 07. Normally, the drainage hole is located at the drainage hole 09 on the inner door panel. Water flows through the drainage hole 09 to the lower dirt-proof strip 07, and then exits the vehicle through the front and rear ends of the dirt-proof strip 07. Therefore, there may be a risk of water accumulation at the location of the dirt-proof strip 07.
[0025] With this invention, the drainage channel 08 of the door panel flows through the drainage hole 04 of the outer door panel to the lower outer trim panel 02 of the door, and then flows out of the vehicle through the gap at the bottom of the lower outer trim panel 02. This ensures that no water accumulates on the inside of the door.
[0026] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
