Further, the front side door 10 includes a door outer panel 24 forming an outer side portion of the front side door 10 and a door inner panel 26 forming an inner side portion of the door of the front side door 10. The peripheral edge portion 24A and the outer peripheral edge portion 26A of the door inner panel 26 are hemmed. A reinforcement 28 as an impact transmission member is arranged on the bottom portion 26B of the door inner panel 26. The reinforcement 28 is formed of sheet metal, and has a substantially U-shaped cross section as viewed from the front-rear direction of the door. The vertical wall portion 2 at the outer end of the reinforcement 28 in the door width direction
In the upper part of 8A, the cross-sectional shape seen from the front and rear direction of the door is approximately U.
A letter-shaped recess 28B is formed. The recess 28B has an opening facing the outside of the door, and the impact beam 18 is joined in the recess 28B. Further, the vertical wall portion 28C at the door widthwise inner end of the reinforcement 28 is in contact with the lower portion of the vertical wall portion 26C of the door inner panel 26. As shown in FIG. 1, the reinforcement 28
Extends from the front end of the front side door 10 to the rear end thereof, and a collision sensor 30 is attached to the center of the reinforcement 28 in the front-rear direction. As shown in FIG. 2, the collision sensor 30 has a block shape, and mounting portions 30A and 30B project forward and backward. Mounting holes 32, 34 are bored in these mounting portions 30A, 30B, and a portion of the vertical wall portion 26C of the door inner panel 26 facing the mounting holes 32, 34 and a vertical wall of the reinforcement 28. A through hole is formed in each of the portions of the portion 28C. Further, weld nuts 36 and 38 are fixed coaxially with the through holes on the outer surface of the vertical wall portion 28C of the reinforcement 28 in the door width direction.

In the present embodiment, the door outer panel 2 of the front side door 10 is provided by the bumper 19 or the like of another vehicle.
When a shock is applied to 4 from the side (direction of arrow F in FIG. 1),
The impact first acts on the impact beam 18, and then the impact beam 18 acts on the reinforcement 28 joined to the recess 28B. After that, the impact is transmitted to the collision sensor 30 fixed to the vertical wall portion 28C of the reinforcement 28 with the vertical wall portion 26C of the door inner panel 26 interposed therebetween through the reinforcement 28, and the collision sensor 30 is turned on. As described above, in the side collision sensor mounting structure according to the present embodiment, the front side door 10 extends in the front side door 10 over substantially the entire length of the door.
Since the reinforcement 28 for transmitting the impact applied to the door outer panel 24 to the inner side of the vehicle body to the collision sensor 30 is provided, the collision detection is performed for the impact applied to each part along the front-rear direction of the front side door 10. It can be done quickly. Further, even when a bumper 19 or the like of another vehicle impacts the door outer panel 24 of the front side door 10 obliquely in the front-rear direction, the collision sensor 30 reliably and instantly turns on. Further, in the side collision sensor mounting structure of the present embodiment, since the collision sensor 30 is arranged in the space 48 between the door inner panel 26 and the door trim 46, for example, water droplets or dew condensation that adheres to the door glass 50 may occur. Also, even if it enters between the door outer panel 24 and the door inner panel 26, the collision sensor 30 is not splashed with water. Therefore, the malfunction of the collision sensor 30 can be prevented. Further, in the side collision sensor mounting structure of the present embodiment, a plurality of beads 44 extending in the door width direction and projecting upward are formed at the bottom portion 28D of the reinforcement 28 at predetermined intervals in the door front-rear direction.

Therefore, the falling of the vertical wall portion 28A and the vertical wall portion 28C of the reinforcement 28 is suppressed by the bead 44, so that the impact is instantaneously transmitted to the collision sensor 30 via the reinforcement 28. Further, when the front side door 10 is crushed by an impact, the plurality of beads 44 can be crushed to absorb energy, and the amount of the front side door 10 entering the vehicle interior can be reduced. In the side collision sensor mounting structure of the present embodiment, the impact beam 18 is joined into the recess 28B of the reinforcement 28 as shown in FIG. 1, but instead of this, as shown in FIG. The impact beam 18 is inserted into the recess 28B of the attachment 28, and the opening of the recess 28B is inserted into the plate member 2
9 is closed, and the upper end 29A and the lower end 29B of the plate member 29
May be joined to the vertical wall portion 28A at the door width direction outer end of the reinforcement 28. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the impact beam 18 is attached to the reinforcement 2
It may be arranged at a position separated upward from the upper end of the vertical wall portion 28A at the outer end in the door width direction of No. 8. 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 are possible within the scope of the present invention. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the impact transmission member may be constituted by a block-shaped reinforcement 52 made of a hard resin material such as urethane pad, PP beads, and PP. In this case, the nut 54 is inserted into the reinforcement 52. Further, the side collision sensor mounting structure of the present invention is also applicable to a rear side door.
