BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION An embodiment of a vehicle door passenger compartment invasion suppressing device according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

In the figure, an arrow FR indicates a front direction of the vehicle body, an arrow UP indicates an upward direction of the vehicle body, and an arrow IN indicates a vehicle width inward direction.

As shown in FIG. 3, a front door opening 12 and a rear door opening 14 are formed on a side portion of a vehicle body 10 of an automobile of this embodiment.
4, the rear side door 20 has upper and lower hinges 22, 24.
It is mounted so that it can be opened and closed.

Inside the rear side door 20, a beam 28 such as a steel pipe that constitutes a part of the impact beam 26 is provided from the vicinity of the lower hinge 24 toward the lower rear side of the vehicle body.

As shown in FIG. 4, the rear lower corner of the rear door opening 14 of the vehicle body 10 is made up of a part of the quarter panel 30, and is formed as a protruding portion 32 that protrudes inside the rear door opening. There is. Further, when the door is closed, the rear end portion 28A of the beam 28 is located outside the protrusion 32 in the vehicle width direction.

A reinforcement 34 is disposed inside the protrusion 32 in the vehicle width direction. The reinforcement 34 has an opening on the inner side in the vehicle width direction and an opening on the rear side of the vehicle body.
B are formed respectively.

As shown in FIG. 3, an extension rear panel 36 forming a part of the impact beam 26 is attached to the rear end portion 28A of the beam 28. The impact beam 2 is attached to the front end 28B of the beam 28.
Extension front panel 3 that forms part of 6
7 is attached.

As shown in FIG. 1, the impact beam 2
The beam 28 of No. 6 is welded to the door inner panel 38 of the rear side door 20 via the extension rear panel 36. Further, the reinforcement 34 is disposed on the vehicle width direction inner side (back surface side) of the protruding portion 32 of the quarter panel 30, and the upper portion of the flange 34 </ b> A of the reinforcement 34 is welded to the rear wheel outer panel 40. The lower portion of the flange 34A is welded to the rear wheel outer panel 40, and the upper flange 44A of the rocker inner panel 44 and the upper flange 46A of the rocker reinforcement 46 are welded to each other with the welded portion interposed therebetween.

The cross-sectional shape of the reinforcement 34 viewed from the substantially rear side of the vehicle body is U-shaped with the opening facing inward in the vehicle width direction, and the position of the ridgeline 34C on the lower side of the vehicle body is the beam 28 of the impact beam 26. It is located slightly above the center line 42 of the vehicle body.

As shown in FIG. 2, the flange 34 B of the reinforcement 34 is welded to the rear wheel outer panel 40, and the rear wheel outer panel 40.
A rear wheel inner panel 50 is welded to this.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. In the vehicle door vehicle interior invasion suppressing device of the present embodiment, when a force acts laterally (in the direction of arrow F in FIG. 1) on the rear side door 20 by a bumper or the like of another vehicle, first, as shown in FIG. Rear end 28A of beam 28 of beam 26
Moves from the position of the imaginary line to the position of the solid line, and deforms the projections 32 of the door inner panel 38 and the quarter panel 30 inward in the vehicle width direction.

At this time, since the position of the ridgeline 34C on the lower side of the vehicle body of the reinforcement 34 is located above the center line 42 of the beam 28 of the impact beam 26, the rear end portion 28A of the beam 28 is Move downward in the width direction (direction of arrow A in FIG. 5), and reinforce 3
The rear end portion 28A of the beam 28 is gripped in the lower portion of 4,
Engage the reinforcement 34.

Further, in the vehicle door vehicle interior entry restraint system of the present embodiment, the protrusion 32 of the quarter panel 30 is reinforced by the reinforcement 34, and the rear end 28A of the beam 28 is held in the quarter. Since it is possible to prevent the protruding portion 32 of the panel 30 from falling inward in the vehicle width direction, it is possible to suppress the rear side door 20 from entering the vehicle interior.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the rear end portion 28A of the beam 28 of the impact beam 26 moves from the position of the imaginary line to the position of the solid line, and the projection 32 of the quarter panel 30 moves to the position of the imaginary line. Inward in the vehicle width direction (arrow B in FIG. 6)
Direction), the rear end portion 28A of the beam 28 is still held in the lower portion of the reinforcement 34 even when it reaches the position of the solid line, so that the rear side door 20 can be prevented from entering the vehicle interior.

Further, in the vehicle door interior entry restraint system of the present embodiment, the reinforcement 34 is covered with the projecting portion 32 of the quarter panel 30 and is not exposed even when the door is opened, so the appearance quality is improved. Further, since the impact beam 26 is used, the number of parts can be reduced.

In the above, the present invention has been described in detail with respect to specific embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to such embodiments, and various other embodiments within the scope of the present invention. It is obvious to a person skilled in the art that For example, the present invention may be applied to the impact beam and the center pillar provided inside the front door.
