Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive technology, and in particular to a lower guard plate for automotive rear doors. Background Technology

[0002] A rear door underbody protector is a protective component installed at the bottom of the rear door of a car, primarily serving to protect the internal structure of the door and enhance the overall aesthetics of the vehicle. It is typically made of engineering plastics or metal composite materials, offering scratch resistance, corrosion resistance, and protection against stone impacts, while effectively preventing rainwater and mud from entering the door. This protector is fixed to the door frame with clips or bolts. Some high-end models also integrate aerodynamic designs to optimize performance. Its surface texture and shape often coordinate with the overall vehicle exterior style, balancing practicality with visual appeal. However, existing rear door underbody protectors still suffer from poor protective capabilities and low resistance to external forces.

[0003] Therefore, it is essential to invent a lower guard plate for the rear door of a car. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a rear door lower guard plate for automobiles, solving the issues of poor protective capabilities and low resistance to external forces still present in existing rear door lower guard plates. A rear door lower guard plate for automobiles includes a rear door lower guard plate, a handle mounting area, a lower guard plate reinforcement plate, a connecting top plate, a window guard plate, and a window. The handle mounting area is located at the rear center of the rear door lower guard plate, and the lower guard plate reinforcement plate is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the rear door lower guard plate. The connecting top plate is fixedly installed on the top of the rear door lower guard plate. The window guard plate is fixedly installed on the top of the connecting top plate, and the window is located inside the window guard plate.

[0005] The rear door lower guard plate includes an inner guard plate, an outer guard plate, a self-compensating base plate, and an intermediate support pad. The self-compensating base plate is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the inner guard plate and the outer guard plate, respectively. The intermediate support pad is installed between two sets of self-compensating base plates on the inner wall of the inner guard plate and the outer guard plate.

[0006] The inner and outer panels of the rear door lower panel are connected to form a hollow aluminum alloy metal structure. The self-compensating base plate uses two flexible rubber pads, and the intermediate support pad uses one rigid rubber pad. The self-compensating base plate can deform according to the thermal expansion and contraction of the inner and outer panels. Both the self-compensating base plate and the intermediate support pad can deform under pressure from the inner and outer panels.

[0007] The lower guard plate reinforcement plate uses multiple sets of aluminum metal supports with a "T" cross section, and the lower guard plate reinforcement plate conforms to the curvature of the inner wall of the rear door lower guard plate, and is connected to the rear door lower guard plate as a whole by welding; the connection position between the lower guard plate reinforcement plate and the rear door lower guard plate is sealed with a rubber strip.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0009] The rear door lower guard plate of this utility model features an inner and outer guard plate made of aluminum alloy, forming a lightweight hollow frame. Combined with a flexible self-compensating substrate and a rigid intermediate support pad, it forms a three-level buffer system that can absorb thermal deformation and mechanical impact. The lower guard plate is reinforced by welding to improve its bending stiffness, and it forms an integral load-bearing structure by connecting the top plate and the window guard plate. The surface integrates an ergonomic handle mounting area and a high-transmittance window, achieving scratch resistance, wear resistance, sealing and noise reduction while taking into account both operational convenience and visual safety.

[0010] The reinforcing lower guard plate of this utility model serves as the core reinforcement component of the rear door lower guard plate. It is made of T-shaped aviation aluminum material and is laser-welded to the inner wall of the guard plate to form an integrated structure. It mainly performs three functions: First, it acts as a mechanical skeleton to significantly improve the overall impact resistance and effectively disperse driving vibration loads; second, it forms a three-level buffer system with the self-compensating substrate and intermediate support pad to synergistically absorb mechanical stress; and finally, it achieves dustproof and waterproof sealing through rubber sealing strips. Its lightweight design optimizes the vehicle's energy consumption while ensuring protective performance. Attached Figure Description
