Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Field of Application The disclosed technology belongs to the field of mounting a spacer around a regulator handle shaft that opens and closes a windshield glass of a door trim of an automobile.

Therefore, this idea is based on the idea that the door trim attached to the passenger compartment side of the inner panel of the automobile door is attached to the inside part of the handle insertion hole of the part equipped with the regulator handle for opening and closing the windshield glass of the door. This is an idea for a car door trim structure in which the handle shaft is placed between the inner panel and the inner panel using an elastic spacer to absorb the play of steering wheel operation.In particular, the door trim itself is made of synthetic resin such as vinyl chloride. The door trim itself has elasticity, and an elastic spacer having a substantially truncated conical shape is integrally attached to the door trim with at least a plurality of slits along the axial direction at the tip, and in the assembled state, the tip has elasticity. This invention relates to a door trim structure for an automobile in which the regulator handle is bent inward to provide elastic force in the direction of the vehicle interior, thereby pressing the regulator handle and supporting the door trim.

Prior Art As is well known, a door trim is provided on the inside of a car door, and depending on the car model, a regulator handle is provided to open and close the windshield glass.

Therefore, since a hole is formed in the door trim through which the base of the regulator handle is inserted, it is necessary to provide sufficient strength at this portion to support the door trim and prevent the handle from rattling.

To deal with this, conventionally, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a regulator handle 10 is placed between the inside of a door trim 3 made of hardboard with a soft material 2 having a skin 1 layered on the surface and the door inner panel 4. A pad 8 as an elastic spacer is concentric with the insertion hole 6 at the base of the
interposed to repel the door trim 3 toward the passenger compartment,
A resin washer 9 is placed between the outer skin 1 of the door trim 3.
The regulator handle 10 is connected to the handle shaft 5, the inner end of which is inserted into the recess inside the handle shaft 5, through the clip 11, so that looseness can be absorbed. The door trim 3 is pressed against the door trim 3 and the door trim 3 is supported.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention Therefore, in this embodiment, since the pad 8 is a part made of a different material from the door trim 3, the number of parts is naturally large, and assembly requires skill.
The drawback is that it requires a lot of man-hours and requires high precision.
There was a problem with parts management, etc.

It also had the disadvantage of increased costs due to the large number of parts, increased man-hours, and poor work efficiency.

The purpose of this invention is to solve the technical problem of the door trim of an automobile equipped with a regulator handle based on the above-mentioned conventional technology. An elastic spacer is attached in advance, and the elastic spacer is assembled at the same time as the door trim is assembled, and the door trim support and regulator handle pressing functions remain unchanged, reducing the number of parts, man-hours, and cost. It is an object of the present invention to provide an excellent automobile door trim structure that is useful for the field of application of parts mounting technology in the automobile industry.

Means/effect for solving the problems In accordance with the above-mentioned purpose, the structure of this invention, which is summarized in the scope of the above-mentioned utility model registration claims, is to solve the above-mentioned problems by making the door trim of a car made of synthetic resin. , an elastic spacer in the shape of a truncated cone that surrounds the handle shaft of the regulator handle is integrally molded with the door trim, or separately molded from the same resin is joined and integrated, and the elastic spacer is attached to the regulator handle. At the same time, the tip of the elastic spacer is bent inward through a plurality of slits along the axial direction, and the door trim is assembled with the elasticity of the resin door trim. By attaching the regulator handle to the handle hole of the door trim, the door trim is supported by the inner panel via the elastic spacer, and the regulator handle absorbs any backlash during operation, making it quick and accurate. The regulator handle is assembled with technical means to ensure smooth operation of the regulator handle.

Embodiment Next, an embodiment of this invention will be described below based on the drawings from FIG. 3 onwards. Note that the same parts as in FIGS. 1 and 2 will be explained using the same reference numerals.

In the embodiments shown in FIGS. 3, 4, and 5, the door trim 3' is made of a predetermined synthetic resin such as vinyl chloride, and is attached to the door inner panel 4 on the passenger compartment side. Yes, box 1 for storing small items
2. A regulator handle 10 for opening and closing the windshield glass (not shown) is provided along with the armrest 13 and the like.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the inner panel 4
An elastic spacer 8' that surrounds and covers the handle shaft 5 of the regulator handle 10 provided in the
When the door trim 3' is extruded, it is integrally extruded with a handle insertion hole 6 on the inside, and is formed into a substantially truncated cone shape toward the inner panel 4, and from the middle to the tip thereof, the handle insertion hole 6 is integrally extruded. A plurality of slits 14, 14, . . . are cut along the length so as to communicate with the tip hole 15, and the tip portion is bent to protrude inward in its natural state as shown by the dotted line in FIG.

In the above configuration, in order to assemble the door trim 3' to the inner panel 4, the tip hole 15 of the elastic spacer 8' is inserted into the handle shaft 5, which is attached by penetrating the protrusion 5' formed on the inner panel 4. The inwardly protruding and bent tip portion is brought into contact with the protrusion 5' via its elasticity.

In this state, when the periphery of the door trim 3' is assembled to the inner panel 4 in a predetermined manner, the portion of the handle insertion hole 6 expands toward the passenger compartment due to the elasticity generated by the inward bending of the tip of the elastic spacer 8'. Trying to get it out.

Therefore, the resin spacer 9 is attached to the handle insertion hole 6 from the inside, and the elastic spacer 8' is pushed slightly toward the inner panel 4 by the door trim 3', and the regulator handle 10 is fitted into the handle shaft 5 through the recess in the center. When the clip 11 is fitted and released, the door trim 3' returns to the passenger compartment side due to the elasticity of the elastic spacer 8' and the resin elasticity of the door trim 3', and is brought into elastic contact with the regulator handle 10.
It is supported against the inner panel 4.

In this state, the bent portion at the tip of the elastic spacer 8' is in a state where the handle shaft 5 is in pressure contact with the protrusion 5' as shown by the solid line in FIG. The regulator handle 10 is brought into pressure contact with the door trim 3', so that the rattling of the regulator handle 10 during operation is absorbed, and the regulator handle 10 is always kept in a light pressure contact state.

In this case, the elastic deformation of the tip of the elastic spacer 8' during or after assembly is absorbed by the elasticity of the tip itself and the elasticity of the elastic spacer 8' due to the slits 14, 14... be done.

Furthermore, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the elastic spacer 8' is integrally molded at the same time as the extrusion molding of the door trim 3', but as shown in the embodiment shown in FIG. It is also possible to separately mold the same resin material and integrate them using appropriate means such as adhesive, heat caulking, plate spring nuts, etc. after molding the door trim 3' and before assembling it.

It goes without saying that the embodiments of this invention are not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments; for example, various embodiments can be adopted, such as using a double-tube type elastic spacer.

Effects of the invention As described above, according to this invention, in a structure in which the door trim of an automobile is formed so that a regulator handle is attached, the door trim is made of resin, surrounds the handle shaft concentrically, and is connected between the door trim and the inner panel. By forming the elastic spacer interposed in the resin door trim so as to be integrally attached to the resin door trim, and forming a slit along the axial direction at least at the tip, the elastic spacer basically has an elastic force. The elastic force and the elasticity of the resin trim combine to cause the resin door trim to come into elastic contact with the regulator handle, and to be securely supported by the inner panel, while the regulator handle is made of resin. Because it is in elastic contact with the door trim of the regulator handle, it not only has the effect of absorbing backlash when operating the regulator handle, but also reduces the number of parts, which reduces the number of parts manufacturing steps and management. It is easy to assemble, and in addition, has excellent effects such as accurate accuracy, efficient assembling work, weight reduction, and cost reduction.

In particular, by integrally molding the elastic spacer with the resin door trim, the above-mentioned effects become more pronounced, mass production reproducibility is improved, and the efficiency of other lines is also improved.
