Moreover, the present invention relates to an automobile door in which a wiring method of a harness in the door is improved.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, an exterior of an automobile door is formed by an outer panel and an inner panel, and various functional parts are inserted into a space formed by the outer panel and an inner panel through a working hole formed in the inner panel. Assembled.

The various functional components include a device for raising and lowering a window panel, a device for locking a door, and the like. When assembling the door lock and knob-inside type inside handle of the device that locks the door to the inner panel, in order to prevent malfunctions that occur due to variations in accuracy of the inner panel and the connecting rod, etc. The stroke was adjusted after disposing the handle on the door.

On the other hand, conventionally, there are five types of harnesses provided in an automobile door, such as five types of door lock systems (actuator, knob switch, latch switch, keyless entry, handle switch and key lighting lamp), and two types of regulator systems. There are four types (backlight, door mirror motor, speaker and seat control switch).

Of these, the door lock type is the most common, but the wiring of this harness is processed on the inner panel side in the door.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in such a conventional automobile door, after arranging the functional parts through the working holes, the function must be confirmed, and each of them is required to be a single item. It could not be confirmed in the state. In addition, since such functional components have different mounting directions, productivity is poor in terms of mounting work from work holes, adjustment work thereof, and quality confirmation. As described above, due to the structure of the door, assembling is complicated and the function of the door is inconvenient. Further, automation cannot be achieved.
This was an obstacle to improving vehicle productivity and reducing costs.

In addition, when adjusting the stroll of the connecting rod, particularly in the case of a hard top type door, since the distance between the door lock and the inside handle is longer than that of the sedan type, the operating direction of the connecting rod is changed through a bell crank in the middle of the connecting rod. It is changing. Therefore, the stroke adjustment work was further difficult.

In order to reduce such work and improve quality, there is an example in which a wire is used instead of the connecting rod. According to this, if the wires are connected and adjusted to the door lock and the inside handle in advance, the door can be assembled without being affected by variations in the inner panel.

However, when such a door lock device is assembled to a door, one of the inside handle side or the door lock side hangs through a wire,
The handling is inconvenient because the inner panel is damaged. Although the number of assembling steps is reduced, the use of automatic assembly is not possible for the above-mentioned reasons, and there is a limit in improving productivity.

In addition, the work of collecting and arranging a plurality of harnesses in the door is troublesome, and the harness may be damaged by interfering with the vertically moving window panel.

Therefore, the present invention enables the function of the functional component to be inspected before assembling, simplifies the assembling work, and improves workability at the time of mounting a door lock, an inside handle, and the like. It is another object of the present invention to provide an automobile door that can prevent the inner panel from being damaged and that facilitates wiring of a harness and prevents damage.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention has been made by focusing on such means.
An automobile door in which an inner panel and an outer panel are assembled from a thickness direction of a door with a skeletal member interposed therebetween, wherein the skeletal member includes a panel elevating means for elevating a window panel, and locking the door to a vehicle body.

A connection bracket for connecting the inside handle and the door lock with a wire, and the connection bracket further forms an insertion portion for inserting a harness extending from the inside handle side to the door lock side, and the panel Features an automotive door interposed between the lifting means and the harness And

[Operation] The panel lifting / lowering means attached to the skeletal member is mounted on the skeletal member via a locking means in which the inside bracket and the door lock side bracket are connected in advance by a connecting bracket.

In the locking means, since the inside bracket and the door lock-side bracket are connected in advance by a certain distance by the connecting bracket, a functional test of the locking function is performed, and then the connection between the frame member and the panel elevating means is performed. It is interposed and installed.

Therefore, the function of the functional component can be inspected before assembling, and the productivity and quality can be improved.

When the harness extending from the inside handle side to the door lock side is inserted into the insertion portion of the connection bracket that connects the both brackets in advance, the harness may be assembled to the skeletal member and disposed at a position adjacent to the panel elevating means. The connecting bracket is interposed between the panel elevating means and the harness.

Therefore, for example, even if a large number of harnesses are arranged at a position adjacent to the panel elevating means with good space efficiency, interference of the panel elevating means with respect to the harness due to elevating and lowering is prevented by the connection bracket, so that damage to the harness is prevented. Can be prevented.
