DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vehicle door structure in which an ashtray is inserted into an opening provided in a door trim, and a lighting valve is provided adjacent to the ashtray to illuminate the inside of the ashtray.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art An example of a conventional vehicle door structure will be described with reference to a perspective view of a main part of FIG. 5 and a perspective view of an ashtray lighting bulb mounting structure of FIG. In the drawing, reference numeral 10 generally indicates a cab door of a cab-over type truck, and 12 indicates a door trim mounted on a side of the cab 10 on the vehicle interior side.
Reference numeral 4 denotes an opening provided on the flat surface 16 near the top of the door trim for detachably mounting an ashtray (not shown). A valve housing 20 made of an appropriate resin material such as polypropylene is mounted on the door inner panel 18 inside the opening 14.

The bulb housing 20 has a rectangular frame portion 24 for accommodating an ashtray lighting bulb 22 and a rectangular frame portion 24.
And a mounting arm 26 integrally formed on one side of the mounting arm 26. A screw 28 is inserted into a screw hole provided in the mounting arm 26 and rotated to fix the valve housing 20 to the door inner panel 18. It is configured. (Note that the valve housing 20 may be screwed to the door trim 12 in some cases.
8 in some cases. )

FIG. 6 shows an example of a structure for mounting the valve 22 to the valve housing 20. The valve 22 has a socket 32 connected to the electric wire 30. The socket 32 has a large-diameter flange portion 34 and a projection 38 projecting diametrically outward of a small-diameter portion 36 on the valve 22 side. On the other hand, an arbitrary wall portion (lower wall portion in the illustrated case) of the frame portion 24 in the valve housing 20 includes:
The valve 22 and the small-diameter portion 36 of the socket 32 can be inserted, but the flange portion 34 cannot be passed. The circular hole 40 is provided outside the circular hole 40 in the diameter direction. An engagement hole 44 formed of a notch 42 that allows the pressure is provided. Therefore, as shown by arrow A in FIG.
Is inserted into the engagement hole 44 and then rotated as shown by the arrow B, so that the wall of the frame portion 24 is sandwiched between the projection 38 and the flange portion 34, whereby the valve 22 is
And the assembly of the socket 32 and the valve housing 20.
It can be attached to. Reference numeral 46 in the drawing denotes a rod-shaped member which is attached to the upper end of the door trim 12 and is disposed inside the window glass and is generally called a waist bar, a door bar, or the like. Alternatively, it is used for armrests in the case where the driver opens the window and runs backward while putting his elbows and looking backward.

In the door structure having the above-mentioned conventional ashtray illuminating device, it is necessary to make the bulb housing 20 and attach it to the door inner panel 18 or the door trim 12 with the screws 28, so that the structure is complicated and the cost is high. There was a problem.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems of the conventional door structure, and provides a vehicle door structure which has a simple structure and can reduce the parts cost and the assembly work cost of an ashtray lighting device. It is intended to provide.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a door trim having an opening into which an ashtray is inserted, a reinforcing rib disposed on a back surface of the door trim near an ashtray insertion opening, And an illumination bulb directly mounted on the reinforcing rib and illuminating the inside of the ashtray through a lighting window provided on the wall surface of the ashtray.

[0008]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIG.
Members that are substantially the same as or correspond to those of the conventional door structure described with reference to FIG. 6 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted. First, the door 10 shown in the perspective view of the main part of FIG.
Is a view of the left door of the cab as viewed from the inside of the vehicle, and the right door on the opposite side has substantially the same structure with respect to the illustrated portion. The door trim 12 includes a raised wall portion 48 that covers a lower portion of the front end of the door sash, and is integrally formed of a suitable resin material such as polypropylene.

The flat surface 16 near the top of the door trim 12
An opening 14 is provided in which a bottomed box-shaped ashtray 50 shown in FIG. 2 is removably attached. A front wall 50a of the ashtray 50 is provided on the back surface of the door trim 12 adjacent to the opening 14. , A front wall), and a substantially parallel plate-shaped reinforcing rib 52 is integrally formed so as to face the upper portion of the front wall. The reinforcing rib 52 has a circular hole 40 as shown in FIG.
And a notch 42 extending outward in the diameter direction.
4, and the engagement hole 44 has substantially the same structure as the conventional engagement hole shown in FIG.

In the upper portion of the front side wall 50a of the ashtray 50, as shown in FIG.
A lighting window 54 is opened at a position facing the lighting window 54.
Is mounted with a transparent plate 56 made of transparent glass or the like. On the other hand, the engaging holes 44 of the reinforcing ribs 52 are provided in FIG.
