Abstract

PURPOSE:To decrease the difference in level between a door windshield pane and an outer panel, by providing an attaching projection projected from the outer panel so that the outer panel may be arranged near to the door windshield pane, and by arranging an actuating member on the vehicle body side of the attaching projection. CONSTITUTION:The upper edge 3a of an outer panel 3b is formed in a curved surface shape which moderately extends outward continuously from the surface of a door windshield pane 5. An attaching projection 6 for attachment of an actuating member is formed on the outer panel 3b slightly below the upper edge 3c. The rear half part of the attaching projection 6 is formed therein with an insertion hole 6a for receiving a human hand. Further, an outer handle 7 as the actuating member is attached on the vehicle body side of the attaching projection 6.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a structure for mounting an operation member on a vehicle door, and in particular, it is possible to improve the flush surface by reducing the step between the door glass and the door body. Regarding the structure that was created.

[Conventional technology]

In recent vehicles, the so-called Franch surface design, which reduces irregularities on the outer surface of the vehicle body, is being promoted in order to improve fuel consumption and reduce running noise.0 For example, flush surface design around the doors has been improved. Therefore, a door structure has been proposed in which the door glass is placed on the inside of the vehicle interior so that the door glass and the outer surface of the vehicle body are flush with each other.

By the way, there is a conventional door with a structure shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, and 1) in the figure is a door, which has a door body 1 consisting of an inner panel 12a and an outer panel 12b.
A gate-shaped sash 13 is attached to the door 2, and the door glass 14 is configured to be able to move up and down inside the sash 13.

This door 1) is provided with a lock body 15 that holds it in a closed state with respect to the vehicle body, and a mounting recess 12c for attaching an external operating member for operating this lock body 15 is provided on the outer panel 12b side. The mounting recess 1 is recessed.
An outer handle 16 is disposed inside 2C, and the handle 1
6 is flush with the outer panel 12b and is connected to the lock body 15 by a connecting rod 16a.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In the conventional door 1) mentioned above, a device has been devised to create a flush surface between the door glass 14 and the vehicle body, but not much consideration has been given to creating a flush surface between the door glass 14 and the door body 12. That is, in the conventional door 1), a large step A is formed at the boundary between the outer panel 12b and the door glass 14. The reason for this is that the link mechanism from the outside handle 16 is placed between the outside panel 12b and the door glass 14, and the outside surface of the handle 16 is flush with the panel, so this installation space is secured. Therefore, it is conceivable that the outer panel 12b must be positioned outward.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle door operation member mounting structure that can solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, reduce the level difference between the door glass and the door body, and improve the flush surface of this part. It is in.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention provides an operation member mounting structure for a vehicle door, in which a mounting protrusion projecting outward is formed on an outer panel of a door body,
The present invention is characterized in that an external operating member such as an outer handle or a key cylinder is disposed on the interior side of the mounting protrusion.

[Effect]

In the operating member mounting structure for a vehicle door according to the present invention, since the operating member is located within the mounting protrusion that projects outward from the outer panel, it is difficult to secure the installation space for the operating member as in the conventional case. There is no need to position the outer panel outwardly, and therefore the level difference between the outer panel and the door glass can be easily reduced, which eliminates unevenness on the outer surface of the door and improves the flush surface.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

1 to 5 are diagrams for explaining a door operation member mounting structure according to an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1a is integrally molded using fiber-reinforced resin, and a door 2 is attached to the door opening 1b of the body la so as to be openable and closable.The door 2 is attached to a door body 3 made of fiber-reinforced resin.
A metal sash 4 is attached to the sash 4, and a door glass 5 is arranged within the sash 4 so as to be able to move up and down.

This satush 4 is of a gate type in which the upper ends of the front and rear legs 4a and 4b are connected by a horizontal side 4c, and the lower half of the front and rear legs 4a and 4b is inside the door body 3. The insertion is fixed.

The door body 3 is constructed by bonding an inner panel 3a and an outer panel 3b. The upper edge 3c of this outer panel 3b is formed into a curved shape that extends gently outward following the door glass 5 surface.

A mounting protrusion 6 for mounting an operating member is formed slightly below the upper edge 3c of the outer panel 3b. This mounting protrusion 6 protrudes outward in an arc shape when viewed from above, and the rear half thereof has an insertion hole 6 for inserting a hand.
a is formed.

An outer handle 7, which is an operating member, is provided on the inside of the vehicle interior of the mounting protrusion 6. This operating handle 7 is constructed by rotatably attaching a handle plate 7b to a handle body 7a. The handle body 7a is bolted to a support bracket 7C bonded to the outer panel 3b, and the handle arm 7e, which is swung by the handle plate 7b, is connected to the lock body 8 via a connecting door d. There is.

Next, the effects of this embodiment will be explained.

To open the door 2 having the structure of this embodiment, insert your hand into the insertion opening 6a of the mounting protrusion 6, grasp the handle brake 7b of the outer handle 7, and pull it outward. , whereby the operation of the handle 7b is transmitted to the lock body 8, and the door 2 is opened. In this case, in this embodiment, only the mounting protrusion 6 portion is made to protrude outward from the outer panel 3b, and the outer handle 7 is disposed there.
In contrast to conventional methods in which the outer panel 3b has been positioned far away from the door glass 4 in order to secure a space for arranging the outer handle 7, the outer panel 3b can be moved closer to the door glass 4. As a result, in this embodiment, the upper edge 3C of the outer panel 3b forms a gently curved surface that is substantially continuous with the door glass 4, and there is no large step difference between the door glass and the upper edge of the outer panel as in the conventional case. This will no longer occur, and this will mean that the Franchise surface has been improved accordingly.

Although the above embodiment has been described with reference to the case where the operating member is the outer handle 7, the present invention is of course applicable to the case where the operating member is a key cylinder or both.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the vehicle door operating member mounting structure according to the present invention, the mounting projection is provided protrudingly on the outer panel, and the operating member is disposed on the inside of the vehicle interior, so that the outer panel is attached to the door glass. They can be placed close to each other, and have the effect of reducing the level difference between the door glass and the outside panel, thereby improving the appearance of a Franchise surface.
