20230028169 · 2023-01-26 · ·

A door recessed portion is formed in an upper part of an inner wall surface of a door such that the door recessed portion is recessed outwardly in the vehicle width direction in a state where the door is closed. An operation tool configured to unlock the door is provided on the inner side of the door at a position avoiding the door recessed portion. The door recessed portion has a shape in which a curved surface curved to be recessed in the vehicle width direction continues in the front-rear direction. An instrument panel includes an instrument-panel recessed portion having a shape in which a curved surface curved to be recessed forward continues in the vehicle width direction. An edge line of an upper end of the instrument-panel recessed portion continues with an edge line of an upper end of the door recessed portion.

Vehicle Door Structure And Window Sealing System for Vehicle Door
20230226890 · 2023-07-20 ·

The invention relates to the technical field of automobile door frame structures and window sealing systems. The invention includes a door body, on which a window frame is arranged, and sliding grooves. A glass body flush with the door body, and one side of the glass body has a concave surface and a convex surface on the other side. At least one side of the glass body is provided with a guide piece, and the guide piece is slidably installed in the sliding groove. An arc-shaped limiting member is arranged on the guide piece. A bump limiter is arranged on the side of the guide piece. Since the bump limiter is a solid structure and the inner side of the arc-shaped limiting member is hollowed out, the bump limiter can resist greater pressure than the arc-shaped limiting member during the glass lifting process, preventing dislocation between the door and the glass to ensure good sealing between the door body and the glass body during long-term use.

Vehicle having door with obstacle avoidance

A vehicle having powered door assist includes a plurality of powered doors, each powered door having an actuator for moving the door between closed and open door positions, and a plurality of sensors located on the vehicle for sensing objects proximate to the vehicle including one or more potential passengers expected to enter the vehicle and for sensing an obstacle within or proximate to a swing path of at least one of the plurality of powered doors. The vehicle also includes a controller determining an estimated weight of the one or more potential passengers, detecting expected height of the plurality of powered door with the estimated weight added to the vehicle, detecting height of a sensed obstacle within the swing path of one of the powered doors and determining whether the expected height of the one powered door will interfere with the sensed obstacle in the swing path.

Door handle arrangement for a vehicle

A door handle arrangement for a vehicle, includes a housing and a handle lever which is mounted on the housing such that it can be moved between a rest position and an actuating position for unlocking and/or opening a vehicle door, it being possible for the housing to be oriented on a vehicle body outer part which forms a part of the outer surface of a vehicle body and has a handle cut-out for the handle lever, first positioning projections being provided on the housing, which first positioning projections are configured to bear against an angled-over edge of the vehicle body outer part, which angled-over edge delimits the handle cut-out of the vehicle body outer part at least in regions, and, as a result, to position the handle lever with the housing in at least one spatial direction in relation to the handle cut-out.

GLASS RUN
20230226891 · 2023-07-20 ·

A glass run includes: a bottom wall; a vehicle-outer-side side wall; and a vehicle-inner-side side wall. The bottom wall, the vehicle-outer-side side wall and the vehicle-inner-side side wall configure a basic framework being attached to a door frame groove portion formed in a door frame. The glass run guides an up and down movement of a door glass. A thick portion that protrudes to a vehicle inner side, is in sliding contact with the door glass, and has a higher hardness than that of the vehicle-outer-side side wall is formed on a vehicle inner side of the vehicle-outer-side side wall. When a thickness of the thick portion is set to t1 and a sum of thicknesses of the thick portion and the vehicle-outer-side side wall is set to T, t1 is 0.4 T or more and 1.0 T or less.

Door lock assembly for a vehicle door panel

A door lock assembly for a vehicle door includes a door panel, a stiffener bracket, a lock assembly, and a door pad. The door panel includes an inner door panel and an outer door panel. A stiffener bracket is connected to the inner door panel. A lock assembly is connected to the inner door panel. A door pad is connected to the stiffener bracket. The door pad is configured to interfere with the lock assembly to prevent the lock assembly from unlocking the vehicle door upon an object impacting the outer door panel.
