Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention enables the functions of functional parts to be inspected before assembly, improves assembly workability, and further improves the functionality of door locks, inside handles, etc. This invention relates to an automobile door that can be easily assembled.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, an automobile door has an outer shape formed by an outer panel and an inner panel, and various functional parts are inserted into the space formed by the two through working holes formed in the inner panel. It's assembled.

Various functional parts include devices for raising and lowering window panels, devices for locking doors, and the like.

When assembling a door lock or knob-integrated inside handle of a device that locks a door, etc., the stroke was adjusted to prevent malfunctions caused by variations in the accuracy of the inner panel and connecting ronds. .

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in such conventional automatic military doors, after the functional parts are installed through the work holes, their functions must be confirmed, and each individual item must be checked. It was not possible to confirm the situation. In addition, since each functional component has a different direction, assembly through the working hole has poor productivity in terms of work, adjustment work, quality confirmation, etc. As described above, the door structure has resulted in complicated assembly and malfunction of the door, which has not only made it impossible to automate the process, but also hindered improvements in vehicle productivity and cost reduction.

In addition, when adjusting the stroke of the connecting rod, etc., especially in the case of a hardtop type door, the distance between the door lock and the inside handle is longer than that of a sedan type, so the operating direction of the connecting rod is adjusted via a bell crank in the middle of the connecting rod. I'm converting. Therefore, the stroke adjustment work was even more difficult.

In order to reduce such work and improve quality, there are examples of wires being used instead of connecting rods. According to this, if the wires are connected and adjusted to the door lock and the inside handle in advance, assembly to the door can be performed 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 and the door lock side hangs down via the wire, which may damage the inner panel and is inconvenient to handle. In addition, although assembly reduces the number of man-hours, it is impossible to employ automatic assembly for the reasons mentioned above, and there is a limit to productivity improvement.

Therefore, this invention makes it possible to inspect the functions of functional parts before assembly, and also simplifies the assembly work and improves work efficiency when installing door locks, inside handles, etc. It is an object of the present invention to provide an automobile door that can be improved and prevent the inner panel from being damaged.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention has been made by focusing on the conventional problems, and provides an automobile door in which an inner panel and an outer panel are assembled from the thickness direction of the door with a frame member in between. The automobile door is constructed by mounting panel lifting means for raising and lowering the window panel and locking means for locking the door to the vehicle body on the frame member, and the locking means includes an inside bracket to which the inside handle is mounted. has a door lock side bracket to which the door lock is attached, and a connecting bracket that connects both brackets, and is provided with a position adjustment means that connects the connecting bracket, the inside side bracket, and the door lock side bracket so that the positions thereof can be adjusted. Furthermore, the vehicle door is characterized in that the inside handle and the door lock are connected by a wire.

[Function] According to this method, the functions of the panel elevating means, locking means, etc. are confirmed in advance before the door is assembled, and then the panel elevating means, locking means, etc. are installed with the outer panel or inner panel as a reference. Assembling the door is completed by assembling the frame members and the like one on top of the other.

By assembling in this way, there is no need to arrange functional parts through conventional work holes, making assembly easy, and the assembly can be done in the overlapping direction, making automatic assembly possible. .

In addition, when assembling the locking means to the frame member, the inside side bracket and the door lock side bracket are connected via the connecting bracket, so the door lock or inside handle does not hang down as in the conventional case. It is convenient to handle and does not damage the inner panel etc. during work.

Moreover, by connecting the door lock and the inside handle with a wire, the function can be inspected while the door lock is still attached to the door.

Furthermore, if the connecting bracket can be gripped by a robot, it can be automatically assembled.

Furthermore, by adjusting the position of the connecting bracket, the inside bracket, and the door lock side bracket, the position of the door lock, inside handle, etc. can be adjusted to prevent errors in assembling the door. It is possible to install it even if it comes apart.
