BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a structure of a side door of an automobile.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Regarding the structure of a side door of an automobile,
Conventionally, various studies have been made from the viewpoint of the elevation and strength of the side door glass and strength, and some measures have been taken.

FIG. 3 is a side sectional view of a conventional side door. As shown in the figure, the side door of the automobile is formed of a steel plate and the outer panel 1 reinforced with reinforcing plates 13 and 14.
1 and the inner panel 12 are attached with anti-vibration stoppers 15 and 16 which are generally called stabilizers, respectively. A glass 17 is sandwiched between the anti-vibration stoppers 15 and 16, and the glass 17 is raised and lowered by a regulator (not shown). It is configured to be.

[0004] In general, when riding in a car, there are not a few accidents in which a collision is caused by another car from outside the outer panel 11 of the side door of the occupant. In the event of a side collision of the vehicle, the outer panel 11, the glass 17 and the inner panel 12 are broken and deformed, thereby absorbing the collision energy and reducing the collision energy given to the occupant, thereby ensuring the occupant's safety.

[0005]

The above-mentioned conventional side door structure absorbs the collision energy at the time of a side collision and contributes to the safety measures of the occupants. However, it is still difficult to say that the safety of the occupants is completely secured.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problem in the conventional side door, and an object of the present invention is to provide a side door structure which further improves the safety for an occupant in a side collision. .

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, in the side door according to the present invention, the anti-sway of the side door and the glass mounted on the outer panel and the inner panel, respectively, are not opposed to each other. The outer panel and the inner panel were attached to the outer panel and the inner panel while being shifted back and forth, and a hole was formed in at least one of the reinforcing panels of the outer panel or the inner panel for inserting the anti-sway of the opposing inner panel or the outer panel.

[0008]

When a collision accident occurs with another vehicle on the side door of the vehicle constructed as described above, the side door glass is crushed by the collision vehicle, and the outer panel and the inner panel are broken and deformed. At this time, the steady rest mounted on the inner panel penetrates the broken glass as the outer panel breaks and deforms, and is inserted into a hole formed in the reinforcing plate of the outer panel. The collision energy is absorbed by the breakage of the glass and the destructive deformation of the outer panel and the inner panel. However, since the steady rest of the inner panel is inserted into the hole formed in the reinforcing plate of the outer panel, the amount of deformation of the inner panel is correspondingly increased. And the impact force on the occupant is reduced. In other words, the damage to the occupant becomes lighter.

[0009]

1A is a side sectional view of a side door of an automobile according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 1B is a plan view. As shown in the figure, the side door of the vehicle according to the present embodiment is mounted so that a steady rest 3 generally called a stabilizer attached to the outer panel 1 and a steady rest 4 attached to the inner panel 2 are shifted to the front and rear of the vehicle body. In addition, the glass 5 is sandwiched between the steady rests 3 and 4, and a hole 8 into which the steady rest 4 can be inserted is provided at a position of the reinforcing plate 6 of the outer panel 1 facing the steady rest 4 attached to the inner panel 2. Is formed.

Next, the operation will be described. When another vehicle collides with the side of the driver's seat of the vehicle, the outer panel 1 receives a large impact force in the direction of arrow 9 as shown in FIG. As a result, the outer panel 1 is recessed toward the inside of the car,
The glass 5 breaks and scatters. When the outer panel 1 is further deformed, the inner panel 2 is deformed accordingly. At this time, the steady rest 4 attached to the inner panel 2 is inserted into the hole 8 formed in the reinforcing plate 6 of the outer panel 1. Further deformation of the panel 2 is mitigated. Therefore, the impact force applied to the driver by the inner panel 2 is reduced.

In the above embodiment, the hole 8 is formed in the reinforcing plate 6 of the outer panel 1, and the steady rest 4 mounted on the inner panel 2 is inserted into the hole 8. A hole may be formed in the reinforcing plate 7 and the steady rest 3 attached to the outer panel 12 may be inserted into the hole.

A hole may be formed in both the outer panel 1 and the inner panel 2 so that the steady rests 4 and 3 mounted on the inner panel 2 and the outer panel 1 may be inserted into the holes.

[0013]

According to the present invention, in a side door of an automobile, the steady rest of the side door glass attached to each of the outer panel and the inner panel is shifted forward and backward without facing each other, and is attached to each of the outer panel and the inner panel. Since the holes for inserting the anti-sway of the opposing inner panel or outer panel are formed in at least one of the reinforcing panels of the outer panel or the inner panel, the following excellent effects can be obtained.

(1) At the time of a side collision of an automobile, the collision energy is absorbed by deformation of the outer panel and the inner panel, crushing of glass, and the like. (2) Also, at the time of a side collision, since the steady rest is inserted into the hole formed in the reinforcing plate of the panel, the deformation of the inner panel is small, and the impact given to the occupant is small. (3) There is no need to significantly change the structure of the conventional side door, and costs can be reduced. (4) The appearance of the vehicle interior is not impaired.
