Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a motor vehicle door with a door frame and to a motor vehicle with such a motor vehicle door.

[0002] Known door frames of motor vehicle doors, in particular door frames in the area of ​​a window of the motor vehicle door opposite a roof frame, have a hollow profile consisting of at least two sheets which are connected to one another at connecting flanges, for example by welding.

[0003] For example, DE 3814918 A1 discloses such a vehicle door with a window frame whose hollow profile essentially consists of an inner, hat-shaped sheet metal part connected to an outer, flat sheet metal part. An inner connecting flange, relative to the window frame, extends parallel to the window and closest to it. An outer connecting flange, relative to the window frame, extends in the same plane as the inner connecting flange.

[0004] Furthermore, EP 0916537 A1 discloses a motor vehicle body part, in particular a door frame in the region of a side window of a motor vehicle side door. The door frame consists of an inner frame profile, which is hat-shaped similar to the frame profile shown in DE 3814918 A1, and an outer multi-part frame profile, which is connected to the inner frame profile by means of connecting flanges. A connecting flange, which is inner with respect to the door frame, extends parallel to the side window and closest to this side window.

[0005] Furthermore, DE 36 25 069 A1 shows a vehicle door with a retractable window with a door frame.

[0006] Furthermore, WO 2009 / 006425 A1 relates to a vehicle door with a door seal on a door frame.

[0007] Furthermore, US 7 325 859 B1 and US 2011 / 0061307 A1 also describe a vehicle door with a door sealing concept.

[0008] It is now the object of the present invention to provide a motor vehicle door with a door frame, the viewing angle of which is improved by an occupant sitting behind the motor vehicle door.

[0009] This object is achieved by a motor vehicle door having the features of patent claim 1. Furthermore, this object is achieved by a motor vehicle having such a motor vehicle door.

[0010] In particular, according to the present invention, a motor vehicle door has a door frame having a hollow profile. The hollow profile is formed from at least an inner part and an outer part. The inner part has an inner inner part flange and an outer inner part flange, and the outer part has an inner outer part flange and an outer outer part flange. The inner inner part flange and the inner outer part flange are fastened to one another. Furthermore, the outer inner part flange and the outer outer part flange are fastened to one another. The inner inner part flange and the inner outer part flange are formed substantially parallel to a door window. Furthermore, the inner inner part flange and the inner outer part flange are formed closest to, or immediately adjacent to, an entry flange of a vehicle body of the vehicle.

[0011] The expression "substantially parallel to a door window" can imply a certain deviation from exact parallelism. The deviation from parallelism can be formed, in particular, by the following angular ranges of the angle between the plane of the door window and the plane of the inner inner part flange and the inner outer part flange. A preferred range for the position of the inner inner part flange and the inner outer part flange is an angle of a maximum of 45° between the plane of the door window and the plane of the inner inner part flange and the inner outer part flange, i.e. a range from -45° to +45°. Another preferred range is an angular range of -30° to +30°. Another preferred range is a range of -5° to +30°. Another preferred range can be +5° to +30°. Another preferred range can be -5° to +20°.

[0012] Furthermore, the expression “closest to the entry flange” means that the inner inner part flange and the inner outer part flange, which are connected to each other, form the part or section of the hollow profile which is arranged substantially closer to the entry flange than other parts or sections of the hollow profile.

[0013] The entry flange of the vehicle body is a flange of a roof frame and / or pillars (e.g., A-, B-, or C-pillars). The entry flange defines the door opening formed in the vehicle body in the area of ​​the roof frame or pillars. The entry flange can be a connecting flange of hollow profiles of the roof frame or pillars. The position of the inner inner part flange and the inner outer part flange relative to the entry flange naturally refers to the state in which the vehicle door is attached to the vehicle body and closed.

[0014] The flanges of the hollow profile can be fastened to each other, for example, by means of a screw, rivet, weld, solder or adhesive connection.

[0015] Because the flange connection between the inner inner part flange and the inner outer part flange is positioned close to the entry flange and thus away from the door window, the outward viewing angle for the vehicle's occupants is improved. In other words, the door frame obscures a smaller portion of the field of vision of, for example, a driver.

[0016] Furthermore, the inner inner part flange and the inner outer part flange can be formed near a side frame of the vehicle body of the motor vehicle.

[0017] The side frame frame is the part of the roof frame or pillar that adjoins the entry flange and forms a body door frame. The term "close to a side frame frame" means that the connecting flange between the inner inner part flange and the inner outer part flange is positioned toward the side frame frame.

[0018] This further improves the vehicle occupant’s viewing angle.

[0019] According to a further advantageous development of the present invention, the outer part has a W-profile. The inner outer part flange and the outer outer part flange form the outer legs of the W-profile. In other words, the outer legs of the W-profile are the free ends or legs of the W-profile.

[0020] By using a W-profile, it is possible to create a door frame with sufficient rigidity as well as a door frame that does not restrict the viewing angle much.

[0021] According to an advantageous further development, a middle leg of the W-profile adjoining the outer outer part flange extends substantially parallel to the door window.

[0022] The term “essentially parallel” also includes, to a certain extent, deviations from ideal parallelism.

[0023] Furthermore, the middle leg of the W-profile adjoining the outer outer part flange can form an angle of approximately 90° or less with a middle leg of the W-profile adjoining the inner outer part flange.

[0024] This means that the connecting flange consisting of the inner inner part flange and the inner outer part flange can be designed both close to the entry flange and close to the side frame, which advantageously improves the viewing angle for the vehicle occupant.

[0025] Furthermore, in the motor vehicle door of the present invention, the inner inner part flange and the inner outer part flange may be formed substantially parallel to the entry flange.

[0026] This enables the construction of a narrow hollow profile with high rigidity.

[0027] Furthermore, in the motor vehicle door according to the present invention, the outer inner part flange and the outer outer part flange can be formed substantially perpendicular to the door window. Substantially perpendicular can include an angular deviation of -45° to +45°, preferably -25° to +25°.

[0028] Furthermore, in the motor vehicle door according to the present invention, the door frame is located opposite a roof frame of the vehicle body, which has the entry flange. Thus, the upper region of the motor vehicle door, in particular, has the door frame. In other words, the door frame can be the roof-side door frame in the area of ​​the roof frame. The term "roof frame" also includes an A-pillar of the motor vehicle.

[0029] In this area of ​​the motor vehicle door, the effect of improving the viewing angle of a person sitting in the motor vehicle is achieved in particular.

[0030] According to the invention, the described roof frame-side door frame merges into a substantially vertical frame section, wherein the inner inner part flange and the inner outer part flange in the vertical frame section continuously merge from the position adjacent to the entry flange to a position near the door window.

[0031] In such a roof frame-side door frame, the position near the door window may correspond to the position of a flange of a parapet, so that the inner inner part flange and the inner outer part flange in the vertical frame section in the position near the door window are in the same plane as the flange of the parapet.

[0032] This allows the inner inner part flange and the inner outer part flange in the vertical frame section to merge continuously into the flange of the parapet.

[0033] The continuous transition of the corresponding flanges into the flange of the parapet prevents any interruption or gap, reducing the acoustic and thermal permeability of the vehicle door. Furthermore, no means are required to seal the interruption or gap. A parapet is generally a substantially vertical boundary of the lower window area of ​​a vehicle door. The outer part and the inner part can be made of sheet metal. In particular, the sheet metal can be aluminum or steel. Alternatively, the inner part and the outer part can also be made of plastic, e.g., carbon fiber reinforced plastic.

[0034] The terms "substantially perpendicular" and "substantially parallel" used above naturally include angular deviations to an extent as long as the effects of the present invention remain to achieve the above object.

[0035] The motor vehicle door according to the present invention can be a side door, such as a front side door or a rear side door. Furthermore, the motor vehicle door according to the present invention can be a tailgate of the motor vehicle.

[0036] Below is a detailed description of the embodiments based on the figures.

[0037] Fig. 1 is a sectional view of a door frame 2 of a motor vehicle door, in particular a front motor vehicle side door, in the region of a roof frame, which in the present exemplary embodiment also includes an A-pillar, of a motor vehicle. In particular, the state in which the motor vehicle door is closed is shown. The roof-frame-side door frame 2 consists of a hollow profile formed from an inner panel 1, which forms an inner part according to the present invention and is also called a door panel, and an outer panel 7, which forms an outer part according to the present invention and is also called a striker panel. The inner panel 1 and the outer panel 7 are connected to one another by two connecting flanges, an inner and an outer connecting flange.In particular, an inner inner sheet flange 3, which forms an inner inner part flange according to the present invention, is connected to an inner outer sheet flange 9, which forms an inner outer part flange of the present invention. The inner inner sheet flange 3 and the inner outer sheet flange 9 form an inner connecting flange 3, 9 of the hollow profile. Likewise, an outer inner sheet flange 5, which forms an outer inner part flange according to the present invention, and an outer outer sheet flange 11, which forms an outer outer part flange according to the present invention, are fastened to each other. The outer inner sheet flange 5 and the inner outer sheet flange 11 form an outer connecting flange 5, 11.

[0038] The inner panel 1 and the outer panel 7 according to the first embodiment are made of aluminum. The flanges 3, 9 of the inner connecting flange and the flanges 5, 11 of the outer connecting flange are joined together by laser beam welding with filler metal. Therefore, the inner outer panel flange 9 overlaps the inner inner panel flange 3, and the outer outer panel flange 11 overlaps the outer inner panel flange 5.

[0039] The outer panel 7 has the shape of a W-profile, wherein the outer outer panel flange 11 and thus the outer connecting flange 5, 11 run essentially perpendicular to a side window 13 of the motor vehicle door. Furthermore, the inner outer panel flange 9 and thus the inner connecting flange 3, 9 run essentially parallel to the side window 13 with a deviation of less than 10°. A middle leg 18 of the outer panel 7, i.e. the middle leg 18 of the W-profile, which adjoins the outer outer panel flange 11, runs essentially parallel to the side window 13. A middle leg 19 of the outer panel 7, which adjoins the inner outer panel flange 9, forms an acute angle with the middle leg 18. This inevitably results in an acute angle between the middle leg 19 and the inner outer sheet flange 9. The W-profile is therefore a non-symmetrical W-profile.Furthermore, in the present first embodiment, the middle leg 18 of the outer panel 7 is shorter than the middle leg 19 of the outer panel 7.

[0040] However, the W-profile could also be designed symmetrically, with the outer connecting flange running substantially perpendicular to the side window 13 and the inner connecting flange running substantially parallel to the side window 13 and the angle between the inner outer sheet flange 9 and the middle leg 19 corresponding to the angle between the outer outer sheet flange 11 and the middle leg 18.

[0041] Furthermore, Fig. 1 shows an entry flange 15 of the roof frame. The entry flange 15 forms the boundary of the body opening, which can be closed by the vehicle door. The entry flange 15 is a connecting flange of a hollow profile of the roof frame. The hollow profile of the roof frame has a side frame 17, to which the entry flange 15 is connected and which is visible from the outside when the vehicle door is open.

[0042] How Fig. 1, the entry flange 15 runs parallel to the side window 13 with a deviation of less than 10°. Accordingly, the side frame casing 17 runs transversely to the side window 13. The inner connecting flange 3, 9 is formed parallel to the entry flange 15.

[0043] Due to the W-shape and the acute angle between the middle legs 18 and 19, or the inner outer sheet metal flange 9 and the middle leg 19, the inner connecting flange 3, 9 is positioned close to the side frame. In particular, the inner connecting flange 3, 9 is offset toward the side frame 17 by the middle leg 19.

[0044] Furthermore, the inner connecting flange 3, 9 is formed closest to the entry flange 15 with respect to the other sections of the hollow profile of the door frame 2.

[0045] Both measures—the design of the inner connecting flange 3, 9 close to the side frame and the design of the inner connecting flange 3, 9 close to the entry flange—improve the viewing angle for a vehicle occupant. This significantly improves the restriction of the viewing angle by the door frame 2.

[0046] The inner panel 1 of the first embodiment is also W-shaped like the outer panel 7, but with different proportions. In particular, a central leg 21, which adjoins the outer inner panel flange 5, and a central leg 23, which adjoins the inner inner panel flange 3, of the W-profile of the inner panel 1 are formed substantially at a right angle to each other. Furthermore, the central leg 21 is shorter than the central leg 23.

[0047] Fig. Figure 2 shows the hollow profile of the door frame 2 of the first embodiment, including installed seals and a trim element. The seals are shown in a non-elastically deformed state in the schematic view. In fact, the seals shown are elastically deformed due to contact in the closed state of the motor vehicle door, which is shown here (this also applies to other figures in which seals and trim elements are shown).

[0048] The cladding element is a door frame cover 31, which covers the inner connecting flange 3, 9 and the outer panel 7 up to the side window 13.

[0049] A seal 25 is clamped to the entry flange 15 to seal a gap between the entry flange 15 and the inner connecting flange 3, 9 or the door frame panel 31. Furthermore, a seal 27 is clamped to one end of the door frame panel 31 in the region of the leg 23 of the inner panel 1. The seal 27 seals a gap between the side frame casing 17 and the leg 23 of the inner panel 1 or the door frame panel 31. Furthermore, a seal 29 is shown, which is clamped to the outer connecting flange 5, 11 and seals a gap between the outer connecting flange 5, 11 and the side frame casing 17. Furthermore, the seal 29 seals the gap between the outer connecting flange 5, 11 and the side window 13.

[0050] In Fig. 3 shows the upper area of ​​the front motor vehicle door, which forms a frame of the side window 13. In particular, Fig. 3 an inner side of the motor vehicle door. The roof frame-side door frame 2 of the vehicle body runs essentially along the roof frame including the A-pillar of the vehicle body and delimits an upper region of the side window 13. A front region (in the main direction of travel) of the side window 13 is delimited by a mirror triangle 35 of the motor vehicle door. The roof frame-side door frame 2 merges into the mirror triangle 35. A lower region of the side window 13 of the motor vehicle door is delimited by a parapet region 39. The mirror triangle 35 merges into the parapet region 39 at the front lower corner of the side window 13. A rear region of the side window 13 is delimited by a B-pillar region 33 of the motor vehicle door.The B-pillar area 33 merges, on the one hand, into the parapet area 39 and, on the other hand, merges into the roof frame-side door frame 2 via a node frame 37, which forms a connection between the roof frame-side door frame 2 and the B-pillar area 33. The above-mentioned with reference to . Fig. 1 and Fig. The hollow profile described in Figure 2 with the inner connecting flange 3, 9 near the side frame and the entry flange is formed in particular in the roof frame-side door frame 2, that is to say in the area between the upper end of the side window 13 and the roof frame or in the area between the node frame 37 and the mirror triangle 35.

[0051] Fig. Figure 4 shows a perspective view of the motor vehicle door in the direction of arrow A in Fig. 3. As in Fig. 4, the inner connecting flange 3, 9 is designed in the substantially vertical region of the mirror triangle 35 in such a way that it continuously progresses from a position corresponding to the position near the entry flange to a position near the side window in the direction of the parapet region 39 of the side window 13.

[0052] Fig. Figure 5 shows a perspective view of the motor vehicle door in the direction of arrow B in Fig. 3. As in Fig. As can be seen in Figure 5, the inner connecting flange 3, 9 in the B-pillar region 33 is designed such that it continuously transitions from the position corresponding to a position near the entry flange to a position near the side window in the direction of the parapet region 39. In the node frame 37, the connecting flange 3, 9 is designed in the position corresponding to the position near the entry flange.

[0053] In the Fig. 3, Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 are the seals and cladding elements that are used in Fig. 2, Fig. 6, Fig. 7, Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 are not shown.

[0054] Thus, the inner connecting flange 3, 9 continuously progresses into the position near the side window in the lower region of the side window 13 both at a front edge of the side window 13, ie the edge facing the main direction of travel of the motor vehicle, and at a rear edge of the side window 13, ie the side facing away from the main direction of travel of the motor vehicle.

[0055] Fig. Figure 6 is a schematic section of the motor vehicle door along the line CC in Fig. 3, ie in particular a cut in the upper area of ​​the B-pillar area 33. As in Fig. As shown in Figure 6, the inner connecting flange 3, 9 is arranged in the upper region of the B-pillar area 33 at a position corresponding to the position near the entry flange. The inner connecting flange 3, 9 in the upper region of the B-pillar area 33 is thus arranged at the same position as the inner connecting flange 3, 9 in the roof-frame-side door frame 2. The inner connecting flange 3, 9 is thus arranged there away from the window.

[0056] Fig. Figure 7 is a schematic section of the motor vehicle door along the line DD in Fig. 3, ie in particular a cut in the lower part of the B-pillar area 33. As in Fig. As shown in Figure 7, the inner connecting flange 3, 9 is located in the lower region of the B-pillar area 33 at a position close to the window. The inner connecting flange 3, 9 in the lower region of the B-pillar area 33 is therefore arranged at a different position than the inner connecting flange 3, 9 in the roof-side door frame 2.

[0057] Fig. Figure 8 is a schematic section of the motor vehicle door along the line EE in Fig. 3, ie in particular a cut in the upper part of the mirror triangle 35. As in Fig. As shown in Figure 8, the inner connecting flange 3, 9 in the upper region of the mirror triangle 35 is arranged at a position corresponding to the position near the entry flange. The inner connecting flange 3, 9 in the upper region of the mirror triangle 35 is thus arranged at the same position as the inner connecting flange 3, 9 in the roof-frame-side door frame 2. The inner connecting flange 3, 9 is thus arranged there away from the window.

[0058] Fig. Figure 9 is a schematic section of the motor vehicle door along the line FF in Fig. 3, ie in particular a cut in the lower part of the mirror triangle 35. As in Fig. As shown in Figure 8, the inner connecting flange 3, 9 is arranged in the lower region of the mirror triangle 35 at a position close to the window. The inner connecting flange 3, 9 in the upper region of the mirror triangle 35 is therefore arranged in a different position than the inner connecting flange 3, 9 in the roof-side door frame 2.

[0059] The Fig. 7 and Fig. The positions near the window shown in Figure 9 correspond to the position of the connecting flange 3, 9 in the parapet area 39, so that the inner connecting flange 3, 9 in the lower area of ​​the B-pillar area 33, in the lower area of ​​the mirror triangle 35, and in the parapet area lie in the same plane. This enables and achieves a continuous transition from the inner connecting flange 3, 9 of the mirror triangle 35 to the inner connecting flange 3, 9 of the parapet area 39, and a continuous transition from the inner connecting flange 3, 9 of the B-pillar area 33 to the inner connecting flange 3, 9 of the parapet area 39.This has the advantage that the flange of the parapet area 39 for guiding the window 13 with seals attached to the parapet area 39 must be formed close to the window, so that there is no interruption of the connecting flange 3, 9 in the lower corners between the B-pillar area 33 and the parapet area 39, as well as between the mirror triangle 33 and the parapet area 39. Such an interruption, which results in a gap, is acoustically disadvantageous and would have to be acoustically sealed with additional measures, such as sealants.

[0060] In Fig. 10 and Fig. Figure 11 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. The elements of the second embodiment are identified by the same reference numerals as the corresponding elements of the first embodiment. Only the differences between the second embodiment and the first embodiment will be discussed below.

[0061] In particular, the shape of the outer panel 7 of the second embodiment differs from that of the first embodiment. The outer panel 7 of the second embodiment has a W-shape, wherein the angle between a central leg 18 and a central leg 19 of the second embodiment is more acute than the angle between the central leg 18 and the central leg 19 of the first embodiment. Furthermore, the angle between an inner outer panel flange 9 and the central leg 19 of the second embodiment is also more acute than the angle between the central leg 18 and the central leg 19 of the first embodiment.

[0062] As a result, the inner connecting flange 3, 9 is formed even closer in the direction of the side frame 17, which further improves the viewing angle.

[0063] In Fig. 12 and Fig.Figure 13 shows a third embodiment of the present invention. The elements of the third embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals as the corresponding elements of the first and second embodiments. Only the differences between the third embodiment and the first and second embodiments will be discussed below.

[0064] In particular, the shape of the outer panel 7 of the third embodiment differs from that of the first and second embodiments. In contrast to the first and second embodiments, in which the inner outer panel flange 9 is arranged with an angular deviation of approximately 5° from exact parallelism with respect to the side window 13, an inner outer panel flange 9 of the third embodiment is arranged at an angle of 25° with respect to the plane of a side window 13. An inner inner panel flange 3 of an inner panel 1 is also arranged correspondingly, as it runs parallel to the inner outer panel flange 9. An entry flange 15 according to the third embodiment runs parallel to the inner connecting flange 3, 9 and thus also at an angle of 25° with respect to the side window 13.
