Abstract

(57) [Abstract] [Purpose] A cushioning member is attached to a vehicle door to protect the occupant in the vehicle against impact from the side of the vehicle body. [Structure] The door 10 is composed of an outer panel 20 and an inner panel 30 in which a pad (a cushioning member) 60 made of a cushioning foam is attached to the lower portion of the inner surface. When the door 10 is closed, the cushioning member 60 of the door 10 is provided with an adhesive agent 65 or the like in the gap between the side plate 31 and the inner plate 32 of the inner panel 30 at a position corresponding to the reclining adjuster 81 of the seat 80 arranged in the vehicle. Fix it. This buffer member 6
0 first collides with the reclining adjuster 81 against an impact from the outside to alleviate the impact force.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a door for an automobile, and more particularly to a door provided with a cushioning member for absorbing impact force against impact.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Since the seat sheet is arranged adjacent to the door as the structure of the automobile, the seat is dented or damaged by the side impact such as the collision of another automobile with the side of the automobile, or the door is damaged. The occupant's disability is high due to the so-called secondary collision, which damages the occupant seated in the vehicle. On the other hand, a resin layer for reinforcement may be provided on the inner surface of the outer plate member of the vehicle body (see Japanese Utility Model Publication No. S55-120515), or a double structure with a gap provided on the outer side of the vehicle body to form a foam in the gap portion. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 50-55024 discloses a structure in which a substance is filled to prevent deformation of a vehicle body and rust prevention.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, each of the known technologies is to reinforce the outer panel of the vehicle body to prevent the vehicle body from being damaged by an external force, a collision with another vehicle, and the like. Consideration should be given to the protection of passengers in the vehicle when the vehicle body is damaged. It wasn't done. Therefore, the present invention is intended to protect an occupant in a vehicle when the vehicle body is damaged by an impact.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The automobile door of the present invention has a structure in which an outer panel and an inner panel equipped with a cushioning member are superposed. The cushioning member is made of a synthetic resin foam, and is attached to the inner panel lower portion of the inner panel at a position corresponding to the reclining adjuster on the side of the seat disposed inside the vehicle when the vehicle door is closed.

[0005]

[Action]

 When a vehicle is impacted from the lateral direction, such as when another vehicle collides from the side of the vehicle, the damage or impact on the outer panel of the vehicle door must first pass through the cushioning member. Since it collides with the reclining adjuster of the seat inside the vehicle, the impact is mitigated, and the direct impact force due to the secondary collision when the door hits the occupant sitting in the seat is mitigated.

【Example】

 FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a vehicle (automobile) door according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional explanatory view of a usage state, and FIG. 3 is a side view. The door 10 includes a door body including an outer panel 20 and an inner panel 30, and a glass 40 attached to a window frame formed in the door body. The inner panel 30 is formed by stacking a side plate 31 and an inner plate 32 forming an inner wall of the vehicle body with a gap A therebetween. A desired equipment 51 such as a bag-shaped door pocket 50 is mounted on the inner wall surface of the side plate 31 on the vehicle body. Further, a protrusion 35 is formed at the lower portion of the door 10 by projecting the side plate 31 into the vehicle body. The inner plate 32 corresponding to the side plate 31 is formed with a recess 37 by recessing the position corresponding to the protrusion 35 of the side plate 31 with respect to the side plate 31. A pad 60 is attached to the gap formed by the protrusion 35 of the side plate 31 and the recess 37 of the inner plate 32. The pad 60 is a plate made of a synthetic resin foam, and is fixed to the recess 37 of the inner plate 32 by an adhesive agent 65 as shown in the figure, or fixed to the door trim with a screw. That is, the protrusion 35 having the pad 60 of the door 10 configured as described above is arranged at a position corresponding to at least the reclining adjuster 81 of the seat 80 when the door is closed.

Next, a description will be given of a case where an automobile having the door 10 of the present invention receives a side impact. The pad 60 of the door 10 is mounted at a position corresponding to the reclining adjuster 81 of the seat 80 of the vehicle. The mounting position of the pad 60 is almost at the position of the bumper 92 of the other automobile 90. Therefore, when another vehicle 90 collides from the side of the vehicle, the bumper 92 is the first to collide, but the impact due to the collision of the bumper 92 destroys the outer panel 20 of the vehicle, and the collision vehicle further collides. When the bumper 92 of 90 penetrates into the vehicle, the bumper 92 collides with the pad 60, and the pad 60 collides with the reclining adjuster 81 of the seat 80 and the seat frame 82. Therefore, the bumper 92 of the collision vehicle 90 and the outer panel 20 of the destroyed door 10 do not directly hit the occupant 100 sitting on the seat 80, and the foam pad 60 first hits the occupant 100. Are protected from obstacles. Further, since the impact hits the seat 80 first, the seat 80 can secure the rigidity of the vehicle body from the side and prevent the collision vehicle 90 from further entering into the vehicle. In addition, by mounting the pad 60 in the front-rear direction of the vehicle body to a size that is equal to or larger than the size of the seat 80 in the front-rear movable range, regardless of the setting position of the seat 80, the occupant 100 is protected from shock by the pad. To be done.

[0008]

[Effect of the device]

 In a vehicle equipped with the door of the present invention, when the outer panel is damaged and an obstacle enters the inside of the vehicle against the impact from the side of the vehicle body, the pad first collides with the reclining adjuster portion on the side of the seat. The impact is mitigated, and the occupant sitting on the seat is not directly impacted, which can reduce the occupant's failure rate. Furthermore, since this cushioning member is made of lightweight foam, it can satisfy the requirements for weight reduction of the vehicle body, and the mounting is on the inner surface of the lower part of the inner panel, which does not affect the interior of the vehicle, so Sex and operability are not affected.
