Description

The present invention relates to a vehicle door structure, and more particularly to a vehicle door structure in which a wind panel (for example, windshield) is fixed to the door panel so that it cannot be lifted and lowered. It is a thing.

(Prior Art) Generally, a door of a vehicle is designed such that a window glass moves up and down between both panels through an opening formed in an upper end portion of a door panel including an outer panel and an inner panel. It is preferable to expand the interior space of the vehicle as much as possible in order to improve the vehicle's performance, and for this reason the window glass has been fixed to the door panel to prevent it from moving up and down. A window glass fixed door structure has been developed in which the inner panel is recessed to expand the vehicle interior space by the amount of space for use.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) However, a conventional window glass fixed type door structure is, for example, a sash door disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 61-67020, that is, a window panel around the window. And applied to a door adapted to be supported by a sash provided above it, in which case simply attaching the window glass to the door panel and the sash provides sufficient support for the window glass. Although there is no particular problem because it can be, sashless doors used in hard-top vehicles, that is, the above-mentioned wind glass fixed type door structure to the door that is designed to support the wind glass only by the door panel. If applied, it will act on the windshield support of the door panel. The load becomes very large, for example, when the door is opened and closed, etc., so it is necessary to ensure sufficient support rigidity to withstand this, and also in terms of the sealing property between the windshield and the vehicle body. It is required to secure sufficient supporting rigidity.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is possible to sufficiently secure the supporting rigidity of the wind panel even when the wind panel fixed type door structure is applied to the sashless door and the door panel. It is also an object of the present invention to provide a vehicle door structure capable of reinforcing an opening formed for supporting a wind panel.

(Means for Solving the Problems) A vehicle door structure according to the present invention has an outer panel and an inner panel that hold a wind panel inserted into an opening between both panels from both sides, and The above-mentioned object is achieved by connecting the bolts with bolts and nuts. That is, the outer panel and the inner panel are provided with a door panel joined to each other so as to form an opening of a predetermined length at the upper end, and a wind panel having a lower end inserted into the opening of the door panel. In the vehicle door structure in which the wind panel is supported only by the door panel, a bolt insertion mounting hole is formed at a lower end portion of the wind panel, and the wind panel is the outer panel. It is sandwiched by the inner panel from both sides, and is joined to the both panels at the sandwiching portion by fastening a bolt and a nut inserted through the mounting hole.

The material of the "wind panel" is not particularly limited as long as it can function as the window of the door, and glass, resin, or the like can be used, for example.

(Operation) With the above structure, the lower end portion of the window panel having the bolt insertion mounting hole formed therein is inserted into the opening formed in the upper end portion of the door panel, and the wind panel and the outer panel holding the window panel from both sides. Further, the inner panel and the inner panel are coupled to each other at the holding portion by fastening the bolt and the nut inserted through the mounting hole, whereby the window panel is supported by the door panel.

(Effect of the Invention) As described above, according to the present invention, since the support of the wind panel by the door panel is performed by the outer panel and the inner panel which are coupled to the wind panel by bolts and nuts and sandwich the wind panel from both sides, It is possible to improve the support rigidity of the door panel with respect to the wind panel and to ensure sufficient support rigidity, as compared with the case where a door structure in which the wind panel is simply supported by the outer panel or the inner panel is adopted. Further, by fastening the bolts and nuts, the window panel can be utilized to reinforce the opening itself of the door panel.
