[0022] This utility model proposes a door 13, which can be configured as a cargo door, that is, directly installed in the cargo box of vehicle 1; or it can be configured as a vehicle door, installed in the vehicle cabin. Moreover, the door 13 can improve the convenience of personnel entering and exiting the cargo compartment or vehicle cabin, and reduce unnecessary wear and tear.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 4 In one embodiment of this utility model, door 13 includes: Downward-opening door 132; A step structure 14 is provided on the lowered door 132, and the step structure 14 includes a pedal 141; When the door 13 is in the open state, the flip-down door 132 is used to drive the step structure 14 to flip downward, and the step structure 14 opens the pedal 141.

[0024] Specifically, door 13 can be used as a cargo door, that is, directly installed on the cargo box of vehicle 1, to facilitate the entry and exit of operators; it can also be used on other vehicles, in which case door 13 can be installed in the cabin to facilitate the entry and exit of operators. For ease of explanation, the following description uses door 13 applied to a truck as an example. Because the cargo box of a truck is often high off the ground, and personnel often carry heavy objects when entering and exiting the cargo box 12, it is very inconvenient for personnel to enter and exit the cargo box 12. Moreover, when personnel enter the cargo box 12, they often need to step on the lower edge of the opening of the cargo box 12 with more force, which makes the lower edge of the opening of the cargo box 12 prone to wear and deformation. Furthermore, when door 13 is a hinged door, users can easily step on the bottom door (fold-down door 132) when getting on and off the cargo box 12, affecting the service life of the bottom door.

[0025] Therefore, in this solution, the flip-down door 132 is provided with a step structure 14. When the door 13 is in the open state, the step structure 14 can be driven to flip downward, which not only facilitates the opening of the step 141, but also allows the step structure 14 to move to the lower side of the cargo box opening. Thus, when the step 141 is opened, the step 141 can form a step for personnel to step on below the opening of the cargo box 12. When personnel are carrying heavy objects, they can step on the step 141 first, and then step into the cargo box 12 without having to step into the cargo box 12 in one step. This facilitates personnel to enter and exit the cargo box 12, reduces wear on the opening edge and the possibility of accidentally stepping on the door, thereby improving the service life of the vehicle 1.

[0026] Furthermore, when the step structure 14 is not needed, it can be closed and stored in the flip-down door 132, thereby avoiding the step structure 14 from being constantly suspended outside the opening. This improves the aesthetics of the vehicle 1 and ensures the service life of the step structure 14. Moreover, the step structure 14 is integrated into the flip-down door 132, so there is no need to reserve additional storage space for the step structure 14 in the cargo box 12, thereby further improving the utilization rate of the space inside the cargo box 12.

[0027] In the open state, the flip-down door 132 can first drive the step structure 14 to flip down to the lower side of the opening, and then open the pedal 141. Alternatively, the flip-down door 132 can be opened at the same time as the step structure 14 moves into place, making it easier to use the step structure 14.

[0028] In one embodiment of this utility model, see reference Figure 1The door 13 also includes an upward-opening door 131, which is installed above the downward-opening door 132. In the open state, the upward-opening door 131 is used to flip upwards to open. That is, the door 13 is configured as a top-and-bottom door, with the upward-opening door 131 being the top door and the downward-opening door 132 being the bottom door. The upward-opening door 131 and the downward-opening door 132 together close the opening of the cargo box. When it is necessary to open the door 13, the upward-opening door 131 flips upwards and the downward-opening door 132 flips downwards, thereby opening the door 13. This type of door 13 is generally used on the side of the vehicle body 11. Because the cargo box 12 generally has a relatively deep longitudinal direction along the length of the vehicle body 11, if the cargo door is only set at the rear of the vehicle body 11, the deeper position is not convenient for unloading goods. Therefore, an additional side door 13 is set, and this door 13 is configured as a top-and-bottom door to obtain a larger opening and further facilitate the unloading of goods. The cargo door at the rear of the vehicle body 11 is often an outward-opening side-swivel door.

[0029] In one embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to Figures 1 to 4 The flip-down door 132 includes an outer panel 133 and an inner panel. A step structure 14 is located inside the outer panel 133, and the inner panel covers the side of the step structure 14 opposite to the outer panel 133. Specifically, the step structure 14 is located inside the outer panel 133, and the inner panel is located on the side of the step structure 14 opposite to the outer panel 133. In other words, the step structure 14 is located between the outer panel 133 and the inner panel, meaning it is integrated into the interior of the flip-down door 132, thus concealing it within the door and avoiding additional space occupation within the cargo box 12. Furthermore, the structure of the inner panel ensures the structural integrity of the interior of the flip-down door 132, facilitating user access by flipping the door downwards.

[0030] Therefore, the inner panel of the flip-down door can be detachably installed on the step structure 14 or the outer panel 133 of the flip-down door. When the user flips down to open the flip-down door 132 and needs to use the step structure 14, the inner panel of the flip-down door can be removed first, and then the step 141 can be opened. When the step structure 14 is not needed, the step structure 14 is hidden between the inner panel of the flip-down door and the outer panel 133 of the flip-down door, thereby improving its overall appearance.

[0031] In this design, the inner panel of the folding door is snapped into the step structure 14. In other embodiments, the inner panel of the folding door can also be snapped into the outer panel 133 of the folding door. Furthermore, to facilitate user access to its functions, relevant prompts and markings on the snap-fit ​​position can be provided on the inner panel of the folding door to facilitate its removal.

[0032] In one embodiment, the step structure 14 is integrally formed with the flip-down door 132 to ensure a stable connection between the two. For example, the step structure 14 can be welded to the inner side of the outer panel 133 of the flip-down door. In other embodiments, the step structure 14 can also be integrally formed on the door 13, that is, the pedal 141 is directly rotatably connected to the outer panel 133 of the flip-down door.

[0033] Compared to the scheme where door 13 is configured as a top-and-bottom door, in another embodiment of this utility model, door 13 is configured as an upward-opening door 131. The upward-opening door 131 is rotatably mounted on the upper side of the opening, and the step structure 14 is rotatably mounted on the lower side of the opening. The upward-opening door 131 flips upward, and the step structure 14 flips downward to the lower side of the opening. That is, the door 13 can be opened by simply opening the door upward. At this time, the step structure 14 cannot move to the lower side of the opening with the opening of the door 13. Therefore, the step structure 14 is only located on the inner side of the door 13 and has no connection relationship with the door 13. It is connected to the edge of the opening. Thus, after the door 13 is opened, the user further flips the step structure 14 downward to the lower side of the opening, thereby opening the pedal 141. At this time, to facilitate the downward movement of the step structure 14, the lower side of the step structure 14 is rotatably connected to the lower side of the opening edge. Therefore, to ensure that the upward-opening door 131 can close normally, the door lock of the upward-opening door 131 is located on the lower outer side of the opening, thereby offsetting the position of the door lock and the rotation hinge of the step structure 14, ensuring that the step structure 14 can smoothly flip downward. Furthermore, because many cargo boxes 12 (see...) Figure 1 The lower half of the side of the cargo box 12 will bulge outward, that is, the width of the lower half of the cargo box 12 is slightly larger than the width of the upper half. This type of cargo box 12 can just accommodate the step structure 14 on one side of the cargo box 12. That is, when the door 13 is closed, the step structure 14 fits against the inside of the door 13, so there is no need to store the step structure 14 separately, thus making it easy to store the step structure 14.

[0034] Furthermore, since the step structure 14 or the flip-down door 132 is suspended below the opening of the cargo box 12, and the step structure 14 or the flip-down door 132 flips down to open, the step structure 14 or the flip-down door 132 may generate a relatively large impact force on the lower part of the cargo box 12 when it flips down. Also, when the user steps on the pedal 141, the step structure 14 or the flip-down door 132 will continuously rub against the lower part of the cargo box 12, which may cause wear or abnormal noise on the lower part of the body 11 at the opening, affecting the appearance and service life of the lower part of the body 11 at the opening.

[0035] In view of this, in one embodiment, a buffer is provided on the lower side of the opening of the vehicle body 11, and in the open state, the flip-down door 132 abuts against the buffer on the side away from the housing. Specifically, the buffer provides a cushioning effect between the vehicle body 11 and the flip-down door 132 (step structure 14), thereby reducing the possibility of wear or abnormal noise on the lower side of the opening of the vehicle body 11. The buffer is generally made of a flexible material such as silicone, and in this embodiment, the buffer is configured as a buffer block. In other embodiments, the buffer may also be located on the outside of the flip-down door 132 or on the outside of the step structure 14.

[0036] In one embodiment of this utility model, see reference Figures 2 to 4 The step structure 14 also includes a mounting bracket 142, which is fixed to the flip-down door 132. One side of the pedal 141 is rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket 142. In the open state, the pedal 141 rotates relative to the mounting bracket 142 to open the pedal 141. Specifically, the mounting bracket 142 is the main body of the step structure 14, which is used to install with the flip-down door 132. One side of the pedal 141 is rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket 142, so that the pedal 141 can rotate relative to the mounting bracket 142 with one side as an axis to open. When the pedal 141 is not needed, the pedal 141 rotates in the opposite direction with one side as an axis to close the pedal 141. When the pedal 141 is closed, the step structure 14 is arranged in a plate shape, thereby reducing the space occupied by the step structure 14.

[0037] Furthermore, the step structure 14 also includes a traction rope 143, one end of which is connected to the mounting frame 142, and the other end to the pedal 141. Specifically, when the step structure 14 is opened, the traction rope 143 can be tensioned, thereby pulling the pedal 141 to the mounting frame 142, thus increasing the load-bearing capacity of the pedal 141 and allowing personnel to stably step on the pedal 141. Furthermore, compared to a hinge structure, using the traction rope 143 structure reduces space occupation and lowers costs. The traction rope 143 can be a steel wire rope to ensure traction force.

[0038] To ensure that the pedal 141 can be stably stored in the mounting bracket 142 after being closed, in one embodiment, a step lock 144 is also provided between the mounting bracket 142 and the pedal 141; in the open state, the step lock 144 is unlocked, allowing the pedal 141 to rotate relative to the mounting bracket 142. Specifically, when the pedal 141 is closed, the step lock 144 locks the pedal 141 to the mounting bracket 142, thereby reducing the possibility of the pedal 141 accidentally opening during driving, or the pedal 141 vibrating inside the door 13 and causing abnormal noise. When it is necessary to open the pedal 141, the step lock 144 is released, allowing the pedal 141 to rotate relative to the mounting bracket 142, thus enabling the pedal 141 to open smoothly.

[0039] In this embodiment, the traction rope 143 is connected to the side of the pedal 141 away from its rotatable connection with the mounting bracket 142, thereby ensuring that the traction rope 143 has sufficient traction force on the pedal. The step lock 144 is also located away from the side of the pedal 141 away from its rotatable connection with the mounting bracket 142, thereby improving the locking stability of the step lock 144. Of course, in other embodiments, the traction rope 143 is connected to other sides of the pedal 141; the step lock 144 is also located away from other sides of the pedal 141. The step lock 144 includes a main body portion located on the pedal 141, the main body portion having a locking tongue, and a corresponding latch on the mounting bracket 142. When the step lock 144 is locked, the locking tongue engages with the latch; when the step lock is unlocked, the locking tongue disengages from the latch.
