[0026] Embodiments of this application provide a door interior panel assembly, referring to... Figures 1-2The door interior panel assembly includes an interior panel body 1 and a pocket piece 2 connected to the interior panel body 1. The interior panel body 1 has a first storage cavity 1a, and the pocket piece 2 forms a second storage cavity 2a.

[0027] Here, the interior panel body 1 specifically refers to the panel structure exposed inside the vehicle cabin when the door is closed. The specific structural form of the interior panel body 1 is not limited, and those skilled in the art can determine it specifically according to the actual design requirements of the door.

[0028] The interior panel body 1 has a first storage cavity 1a. In the art, the first storage cavity 1a is also often referred to as a door storage box, door map box, etc. Generally speaking, the first storage cavity 1a is located near the bottom of the interior panel body 1, that is, near the door sill during actual use.

[0029] As an example, the interior panel body 1 includes a main body and a flange connected to the bottom end of the main body. The flange and the main body enclose a first storage cavity 1a, and the top side of the first storage cavity 1a is open.

[0030] The pocket piece 2 is connected to the interior panel body 1. The specific connection method between the pocket piece 2 and the interior panel body 1 is not limited. It can be welding (e.g., hot melt welding), bonding (e.g., adhesive, Velcro bonding), snap-fitting, fastener connection (e.g., rivet connection, stitch connection), etc. Alternatively, the pocket piece 2 can form an integral structure with the interior panel body 1.

[0031] The pocket piece 2 and the interior panel body 1 can be either movably connected or fixedly connected, and there is no limitation on this.

[0032] The specific connection position of the pocket piece 2 is not limited; it can be located inside or outside the first storage cavity 1a. Taking the interior panel body 1, which includes a main body and a flange, as an example, the pocket piece 2 can be connected to the side of the main body facing the interior of the vehicle. In the orthographic projection along the distribution direction of the main body and the flange, the projections of the flange and the pocket piece 2 can be staggered along the height direction or at least partially overlap. Alternatively, the pocket piece 2 can be connected to the flange, such as to the side of the flange facing the main body or to the side of the flange away from the main body.

[0033] The specific structural form of the pocket piece 2 is not limited, as long as it can form the second storage cavity 2a. Here, the pocket piece 2 can independently form the second storage cavity 2a (that is, all the cavity walls of the second storage cavity 2a are formed by the pocket piece 2), or the pocket piece 2 and the interior panel body 1 can surround and form a storage space (that is, the interior panel body 1 forms at least a part of the cavity wall of the second storage cavity 2a). There are no restrictions on this.

[0034] As an example, the second storage compartment 2a is mainly used to store small items, such as cards (e.g., bank cards, ID cards, gas cards, campus cards, access cards, badges), documents (e.g., vehicle registration certificates, driver's licenses, passes), receipts (e.g., invoices, receipts, traffic tickets), jewelry (e.g., earrings, necklaces, rings, bracelets), etc.

[0035] In a specific example, the second storage compartment 2a is configured to accommodate standard-sized cards. Specifically, the standard size refers to the internationally accepted standard bank card size of 85.6mm × 53.4mm. "Compatible" means that the storage space is slightly larger than the aforementioned standard bank card size. For example, the length of the storage space can be 85mm-100mm, such as 85mm, 86mm, 87mm, 88mm, 89mm, 90mm, 91mm, 92mm, 93mm, 94mm, 95mm, 96mm, 97mm, 98mm, 99mm, 100mm, etc., and the width can be 54mm-65mm, such as 54mm, 55mm, 56mm, 57mm, 58mm, 59mm, 60mm, 61mm.

[0036] 62mm, 63mm, 64mm, 65mm, etc.

[0037] The second storage compartment 2a can be configured to be open on the top side, or it can be configured to be open on the front side (the side facing the front of the vehicle) or the rear side (the side facing the parking space of the vehicle). Those skilled in the art can determine the specific configuration according to actual design requirements.

[0038] In the door interior panel assembly of this application embodiment, in addition to the first storage cavity 1a of the interior panel body 1 itself, a pocket piece 2 is additionally provided to form a second storage cavity 2a. In this way, users can classify and store items according to actual usage needs, such as storing small items such as cards, documents, and jewelry in the second storage cavity 2a, thereby improving the convenience of retrieving and placing such items. At the same time, this arrangement does not affect the overall aesthetics of the door interior panel assembly.

[0039] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 The pocket piece 2 is a sheet-like structure, and the pocket piece 2 and the interior panel body 1 surround each other to form a second storage cavity 2a.

[0040] Here, the specific shape of the pocket component 2 is not limited, and can be rectangular, circular, trapezoidal, triangular, irregular, etc. Those skilled in the art can determine the specific shape according to actual design requirements. It should be noted that the shape of the second storage cavity 2a is not necessarily affected by the shape of the pocket component 2, but is mainly affected by the connection position between the pocket component 2 and the interior panel body 1. Those skilled in the art can set the pocket component 2 into any shape according to design requirements, especially aesthetic requirements, and form a suitable shape of the second storage cavity 2a by reasonably adjusting the connection position.

[0041] Taking the pocket piece 2 as a rectangular sheet structure as an example, the bottom edge, front side edge (the side edge near the front of the car), and rear side edge (the side edge near the rear of the car) of the pocket piece 2 can be fixed to the interior panel body 1, while the top edge can be either not connected to the interior panel body 1 or movably connected. In this way, the pocket piece 2 and the interior panel body 1 enclose a second storage cavity 2a that is open on the top or can be opened.

[0042] In this embodiment, the pocket piece 2 is configured to surround the interior panel body 1 to form a second storage cavity 2a. Compared with the pocket piece 2 forming the second storage cavity 2a independently, this helps to reduce the height of the pocket piece 2 protruding from the interior panel body 1 (when not storing anything, the pocket piece 2 can basically fit with the interior panel body 1 and thus basically integrate into the interior panel body 1), improving aesthetics. On the other hand, it helps to save materials and reduce costs.

[0043] In some embodiments, the pocket piece 2 is made of woven fabric, or the pocket piece 2 is made of leather.

[0044] Here, woven fabrics include, but are not limited to, cotton fabrics, linen fabrics, wool fabrics, polyester fabrics, nylon fabrics, blended fabrics, etc., and leather can be natural leather, such as cowhide, sheepskin, snakeskin, horsehide, crocodile skin, etc., or artificial leather, such as polyvinyl chloride artificial leather (PVC leather), polyurethane synthetic leather (PU leather), etc.

[0045] It is understood that most of the soft-touch interior of a vehicle is made of woven or leather. In this embodiment, setting the pocket piece 2 to be made of woven or leather helps to further unify the pocket piece 2 with the interior style of the vehicle, thereby improving aesthetics. On the other hand, woven or leather has a certain degree of flexibility, which allows the second storage cavity 2a to expand, thereby improving storage performance.

[0046] Of course, in some other embodiments, the pocket part 2 can also be made of plastic, metal, etc.

[0047] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2The interior panel body 1 includes an interior panel frame 11 and a flexible covering layer 12 stacked with the interior panel frame 11. The pocket piece 2 is connected to the side of the flexible covering layer 12 away from the interior panel frame 11.

[0048] Here, the flexible covering layer 12 covers at least a portion of the interior panel frame 11 on the side facing the interior of the vehicle cabin.

[0049] Here, the interior panel frame 11 is mainly used to meet the structural strength requirements of the interior panel body 1. As an example, the interior panel frame 11 can be a metal part or a rigid plastic part. The flexible covering layer 12 is mainly used to meet the decorative requirements of the interior panel body 1. As an example, the flexible covering can be woven fabric or leather. The specific selection of woven fabric or leather can be referred to the description in the relevant parts above, and will not be repeated here. In some examples, both the pocket piece 2 and the flexible covering are made of woven fabric, or both are made of leather. In some examples, one of the pocket piece 2 and the flexible covering is made of woven fabric, and the other is made of leather.

[0050] The specific connection method between the interior panel frame 11 and the flexible covering layer 12 is not limited, such as bonding, welding, or fastener connection. Similarly, the specific connection method between the pocket piece 2 and the flexible covering layer 12 is not limited, such as bonding, welding, or fastener connection. In the actual assembly process, the pocket piece 2 can be connected to the flexible covering layer 12 first, and then the flexible covering layer 12 can be connected to the interior panel frame 11; alternatively, the flexible covering layer 12 can be connected to the interior panel frame 11 first, and then the pocket piece 2 can be connected to the flexible covering layer 12.

[0051] In this embodiment, the pocket piece 2 is connected to the flexible covering layer 12 instead of the interior panel frame 11. This helps to further improve the consistency between the pocket piece 2 and the interior style, thereby enhancing the aesthetics.

[0052] Of course, in some other embodiments, the pocket piece 2 may also be connected to the interior panel frame 11 at the position exposed to the flexible covering layer 12, rather than being connected to the flexible covering layer 12.

[0053] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 The door interior panel assembly includes a stitching line 3, which connects the pocket piece 2 and the flexible covering layer 12.

[0054] Here, the specific material of the stitching 3 is not limited. In the actual assembly process, the pocket piece 2 can be sewn to the flexible covering layer 12 with the help of the stitching 3, and then the flexible covering layer 12 can be assembled to the interior panel frame 11.

[0055] In this embodiment, the pocket piece 2 and the flexible covering layer 12 are connected by stitching. On the one hand, this helps to improve the connection strength and reduce the risk of the pocket piece 2 falling off. On the other hand, it helps to enhance the sense of luxury in the interior and thus improve the aesthetics.

[0056] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 The interior panel body 1 has an armrest area 1b located on the top side of the first storage cavity 1a and a functional area 1c located on the top side of the armrest area 1b. The pocket piece 2 is located in the armrest area 1b or the functional area 1c.

[0057] Here, armrest area 1b specifically refers to the area where the door armrest is located. As an example, a part of the structure of the interior panel body 1 protrudes towards the interior of the cabin to form an armrest. The strip-shaped area of ​​the interior panel body 1 corresponding to the height range between the top and bottom surfaces of the armrest (the range of this area in the front-rear direction of the vehicle is not limited to the front and rear ends of the armrest) is the armrest area 1b.

[0058] Functional area 1c generally refers to other areas of the interior panel body located on the top side of the armrest area 1b. For example, functional area 1c refers to the strip-shaped area within the height range from the window edge of the interior panel body 1 to the top surface of the armrest area 1b.

[0059] In this embodiment, the pocket component 2 is located in the armrest area 1b or the functional area 1c, so that the user can quickly reach into the pocket component 2 to take out or put in items.

[0060] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 The door interior panel assembly also includes a functional component 4 located in the functional area 1c. Here, the functional component 4 includes at least one of the following: door handle, function button, speaker, and air conditioning vent.

[0061] Here, function buttons include, but are not limited to: buttons for locking and / or unlocking the doors, buttons for raising and lowering the windows, etc.

[0062] In this embodiment, the door interior panel assembly may include only one of the above-mentioned functional components 4, or it may include multiple of the above-mentioned functional components 4 simultaneously, without limitation. It is understood that in some other embodiments, one or more of the above-mentioned functional components 4 may also be located in other areas of the door interior panel (e.g., armrest area 1b) instead of functional area 1c.

[0063] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 Pocket component 2 is located in function area 1c and is arranged side by side with function component 4.

[0064] Here, the side-by-side arrangement of pocket component 2 and functional component 4 specifically means that pocket component 2 and functional component 4 are arranged in a roughly straight line. The arrangement direction of pocket component 2 and functional component 4 can be the front-to-back direction of the vehicle or the height direction of the vehicle. Preferably, it is the front-to-back direction of the vehicle.

[0065] In this embodiment, setting the pocket component 2 to be arranged side by side with the functional component 4 helps to improve the aesthetics and optimizes the user's movement path when taking out and putting in items during actual use. For example, after closing the car door, the user can put the card into the pocket component 2, or take the card out of the pocket component 2 and then operate the door handle to open the door.

[0066] Embodiments of this application also provide a door assembly, which includes the door interior panel assembly as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0067] Embodiments of this application also provide a vehicle, the vehicle including a door interior panel assembly or a door assembly as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0068] The door assembly and vehicle of the present application have all the advantages of the door interior panel assembly described in any of the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0069] In the description of this application, the terms "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., refer to specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in connection with that embodiment or example, which are included in at least one embodiment or example of the embodiments of this application.
