Vehicle door structure
A vehicle door structure includes a reinforcing member that is extended along a side sill on an inner door panel side of a lower portion of an outer door panel. The reinforcing member has a first side surface that faces the side sill in the vehicle width direction, and a second side surface that extends from the first side surface to the outer door panel, and the first side surface and the second side surface are joined to the inner door panel.
1. A vehicle door structure comprising:
an inner door panel;
an outer door panel made of resin or fiber-reinforced resin; and
a reinforcing member extending along a side sill on an inner door panel side of a lower portion of an outer door panel,
the reinforcing member having a first side surface that faces the side sill in a vehicle width direction, the first side surface extends substantially parallel to a surface of the inner door panel, and a second side surface that extends from the first side surface to the outer door panel, and
the first side surface and the second side surface being joined to the inner door panel.
2. The vehicle door structure according to claim 1 , wherein
the reinforcing member is integrally formed with the outer door panel.
3. The vehicle door structure according to claim 1 , wherein
the first side surface and the second side surface are joined to the inner door panel by an adhesive.
4. The vehicle door structure according to claim 1 , wherein
the lower portion of the outer door panel constitutes a convex portion that protrudes outwardly in the vehicle width direction, and
the reinforcing member is disposed in the convex portion.
5. The vehicle door structure according to claim 4 , wherein
the convex portion is disposed such that a vertical position of an outermost portion positioned at the outermost position in the vehicle width direction of the convex portion overlaps the side sill.
6. The vehicle door structure according to claim 2 , wherein
the first side surface and the second side surface are joined to the inner door panel by an adhesive.
7. The vehicle door structure according to claim 2 , wherein
the lower portion of the outer door panel constitutes a convex portion that protrudes outwardly in the vehicle width direction, and
the reinforcing member is disposed in the convex portion.
8. The vehicle door structure according to claim 7 , wherein
the convex portion is disposed such that a vertical position of an outermost portion positioned at the outermost position in the vehicle width direction of the convex portion overlaps the side sill.
9. The vehicle door structure according to claim 3 , wherein
the lower portion of the outer door panel constitutes a convex portion that protrudes outwardly in the vehicle width direction, and
the reinforcing member is disposed in the convex portion.
10. The vehicle door structure according to claim 9 , wherein
the convex portion is disposed such that a vertical position of an outermost portion positioned at the outermost position in the vehicle width direction of the convex portion overlaps the side sill.
11. The vehicle door structure according to claim 1 , wherein
the first surface is an only surface of the reinforcing member that faces the side sill.
12. The vehicle door structure according to claim 1 , wherein
the reinforcing member is filled with a foam core material.
13. The vehicle door structure according to claim 12 , wherein
the reinforcing member includes a tubular body made of the fiber-reinforced resin, the tubular body being filled with the foam core material.
14. The vehicle door structure according to claim 13 , wherein
the tubular body includes an annular rectangular cross section.
15. The vehicle door structure according to claim 12 , wherein
the foam core material is foamed polyethylene.
