Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention generally relates to vehicle doors of the type in which an inner metal plate and an outer metal plate are spot welded together around the outer periphery of the vehicle door.

European Patent Application No. 0'0 40 587, No. 00.40
No. 588 discloses a vehicle door in which an inner metal plate is joined to an outer metal plate by a rim along the flange around the outer door and by spot welding along the flange at the window opening. These flanges primarily extend parallel to the outer contour of the vehicle door.

These known vehicle doors are: 1. The outer panel must be made by an expensive stamping operation so that spot welding operations can only be carried out along a simple flange around the window opening, and the outer door It has the disadvantage that it has to be joined to the inner plate, which is made more simply by an expensive rim turning process along the periphery.

To enable the most precise sliding or intermediate fit of the window to the outer contour of the vehicle door frame area,
A guide for the lowerable window is provided at the opening of the window.

According to DE 31 04 681, a frame part formed from a profiled cross-section is fixed to a lower carrier plate formed as a stamping of a sheet metal, so that the lever mechanism of the window, the door lock and its actuation can be fixed. Other accessories, such as links, and others of the same type, can be attached to the carrier plate, so that a pre-assembled unit thus configured can be completed by subsequent attachment of the inner and outer plates. Vehicle doors, in particular of passenger cars, are known which are made to form vehicle doors.

In this known vehicle door, the separate construction of the lower carrier plate and the upper frame results in considerable variation in finish tolerances, which leads to sealing problems in the finished vehicle door in the door opening of the vehicle body. It has the disadvantage of obtaining.

Automotive body structure experts recommend these considerations when choosing a vehicle door with a single inner panel, a single outer panel, and at the same time forming the upper frame of the side window that can be lowered. I tried to overcome my troubles.

The disadvantage of this type of vehicle door was that it had a somewhat awkward appearance, since the upper part, made of stamped metal sheet, forms a frame with a slightly wider fitting for the lowerable side windows. be.

With respect to the above-mentioned vehicle door, it is an object of the present invention that its main structure can be joined together by a simple spot welding operation along the peripheral flange, and that its upper frame part can be joined to the sides when the window is raised. It is completely covered by the window, yet has a stylistically impeccable appearance when the window is lowered, and its lower body part has a stylish appearance that perfectly complements the edge of the vehicle door. An improved vehicle door consisting of two relatively simple stamped sheet metal parts made of an inner lining and an outer lining removably attached in a known manner so as to be obtained without the need for a rim-turning process. The purpose is to create.

The configuration of the lowerable side window allows the upper part of the frame to overlap, thereby allowing the B column to be covered by the adjacent side window in a -1 four-door vehicle.

The portions forming the upper part of the inner and outer plates are at their inner flanges almost perpendicular to the plane of the movable side window, and at their outer flanks extend parallel to the green of the glazing, and are The flanges are arranged so as to form a support lip for the guide and/or seal of the vehicle door, so that a simple connection between the inner and outer metal plates forming the main structure of the vehicle door is achieved, and also for the installed window. The guides attached to the outer circumference of the vehicle body structure ensure that the upper frame portion is overlaid by the movable side windows. still,
Furthermore, as a result of this configuration, the appearance of the upper frame portion of this vehicle door remains pristine even when the window is lowered.

The inner metal plate has an outer metal plate having a deep generally U-shaped cross-section box-shaped at the upper frame portion and box-shaped by an angled portion of the shallow generally U-shaped cross-section of the upper frame portion of the outer metal plate. Vehicles that act in direct conjunction with a sealing device attached to a spot-welded lip on the opening in the body structure to form an open shell and serve to ensure a positive seal between the door opening in the body structure and the vehicle door. A stronger upper part of the door is formed.

The inner metal plate and the outer metal plate include a
A lower frame part is provided with a further opening which can be used as an access hole for assembly and thus has a biconvex curvature similar to that in the upper part and which can extend with an enlarged cross-section which can act as a lateral anti-fishing reinforcement. The inner flange portion of the lower frame portion is formed with a window actuator and the outer flange portion is provided with an inner and outer removable lining.

The vehicle door was created in this way, and its main structure was
Joined together and spot welded together, the inner and outer lining parts form two simple laminate sheet metal parts that offer a wide variety of possibilities for production.

The glazing guide and sealing strip, which is attached to the support lip of each inner and outer metal plate, is provided with a corresponding groove to be attached to the flange of the main feature of the vehicle door and with a sealing groove. With the provision of resilient cavities and textile padding for reduced sliding friction, all requirements for guides and seals of the lowerable side windows are met.

The glazing edges and seals attached to the main part of the vehicle door can act in conjunction with an edge strip having a double U-shaped cross-section and being attached continuously to the glazing green, or It can only work in conjunction with suitable guide clips placed along the window pane.

The presentation of the window guides and/or seals is such that when the window is lowered, the window guides and/or seals that appear form a smooth vertical glue line, e.g. The above points can be taken into account.

The invention will be explained in more detail by means of embodiments shown in the drawings.

The vehicle door 1 consists primarily of inner metal parts that are spot welded together along a flange that extends around the outer door periphery 40 and around the window opening m5 and, if appropriate, further around the periphery of other openings 60. It consists of a plate 2 and an outer metal plate 3. The inner metal plate 2 and the outer metal plate 3 constituting the window frame and/or upper frame portion 7 of the vehicle door 1 are comprised of inclined outer and inner flange portions 8 and 9 at the front and horizontal outer and upper horizontal portions. It has an inner flange portion 10.11 and rear vertical outer and inner flange portions 12.13.

As can be seen in detail in FIGS. 2 to 5, the inner flange portion 9.11.13 extends at right angles to the plane of the glass of the lowerable window 14, while the outer flange portion 3, 10.12
The edge 1 of the pane 14 forms a glass guide and seal 16, 17 respectively fitted over the flange and serves for the attachment of the outer mirror bracket.
5.

Inner plate 2 and outer plate 1l1 forming upper frame portion 7 of vehicle door 1
1 temporary 3, the inner plate 2 in the region of the window opening has a deep, generally U-shaped cross section, while the outer plate 3 has a shallow, generally U-shaped cross section and, together with the inner plate 2, has a box shape. Configured to form a strut. The upper frame part 7 of the vehicle door 1 can therefore be appropriately and firmly constructed, so that an excellent seal with the sealing device fixed to the vehicle body structure is achieved in the usual spot 'R3 contact groove.

The vehicle door 1 can also be provided with a further opening 6, close to the window opening (in the annular line shown in broken lines in FIG. 1), which can be used, for example, as an access hole for assembly. This can be provided in the same way as in the window opening and can be joined together by spot welding.

As can be seen from FIGS. 8 and 9, the lower frame portion thus formed can extend into a convexly curved portion of the side surface to form a lateral anti-fishing reinforcement.

The integral construction of the inner plate 2 and outer plate 3, such as large sheet metal stampings, facilitates the fixation of suitable large lateral box columns.

As can be inferred by comparing Figures 4 and 5 with Figure 6, the window guides and seals 16 and 17, which differ only in the upper frame portion 7VC, were obtained at a considerable cost. This is because they are visible when the window is lowered, whereas inside the door body structure itself they are a simple guide 18.

In Figure 6, we refer to yet another special characteristic.
It's worth it. Since the lowerable window 14 can be arranged to overlap the upper frame portion I of the vehicle door 1 and cover the entire B column, a suitable space must be secured within the door body to accommodate it. No. In this case, this is done by means of a soft pocket 20 of elastic material, which has an inner textile pad 19 around the edge of the door, on the one hand, an outer lining part 23K, and on the other hand, an inner lining part 24.
is fixed to.

As can be seen from FIG. 7, the inner plate 2 and the outer plate 3 can form a bottom 11tll reinforcement, and the outer flange portion 21 of the outer flange 21 is, for example, in the form of a sand inch unit, and the outer portion 23 is attached to the inner plate 2 and the outer plate 3. The inner C111 flange part 22, which can serve as a seat and is located at the level of the upper support, can be fitted with a lever fitting ("1'η") of the window shown schematically.The inner plate has an inner lining part 24. It can be attached by known methods.

As seen in FIGS. 4 and 5, either a window guide strip 16-1 or a window guide and seal strip 17 can be used.

Suitable groove or hook 2 for both Stritzo 16.17
5 are provided so that they can fit into the corresponding outer and inner flange parts 12, 13. The window guide strip 16 as well as the window cool strip 17 are provided with a textile pad 26.

Resilient cavity 2 in case of window sealing strip 17
7 is provided, which pushes the textile pad 26 towards the window pane.

The glazing 140 guide has a double U-shaped cross-section, as can also be seen in FIG.
This is done by an edge strip 28 which encompasses the storage 160 guiding area and which in combination facilitates sliding and sealing.

The guidance of the window glass 14' is shown in FIG. 5 along with FIGS. 9 and 10.
As seen from the right side of Figure 1, the edge 15 of the window glass 14'
This can be done with the id fist clip 29, which is spaced 79 times. The clips can be secured in place either by adhesive or by bolts 30, and can be secured in place by either adhesive or bolts 30 and
It has a U-shaped cross section 31 encompassing 7. Since in this case there is no sealing along the edge portion of the glass 14', a resilient cavity 27 is provided in the guide and sealing strip 17 of the window, which is covered by a sealing section provided with a textile pad 26. Press the window glass 14'.

As can be seen from FIG. 4, a guide '4tE seal 17' can be placed on the upper edge of the pane 14 in a manner similar to that shown in FIG. 5, so that the outer flange 5) 10 is overlapped. A swingable seal on the upper part of the
A strip 32' can be provided. A groove 25 in the window guide seal 17' prevents the seal from becoming dislodged when the window pane 14 is raised.

Corresponding window id and seals can be finished on their externally visible parts to present an appearance that stands up to stylistic scrutiny when the window is rolled down. Therefore,
Particularly in the case of the upper edge of the window pane, there is no need to apply color to the overlapping window pane area, which would not be visually aesthetically pleasing when the window is partially lowered.
