Abstract
A vehicle door includes a wet space provided within the vehicle door, which is separated from a dry space on the vehicle door, wherein the vehicle door includes at least a door skin that borders the wet space and dry space, a speaker, and a resonance body component configured to form a resonance space for the speaker, wherein the resonance body component defines a closed volume for the resonance space in the wet space of the vehicle door.
Claims23
A vehicle door, comprising:
- a wet space provided within the vehicle door, wherein the wet space is separated from a dry space on the vehicle door, wherein the vehicle door includes at least:
- a door inner skin which borders the wet space and the dry space,
- a door outer skin, the door inner skin and the door outer skin collectively defining the wet space,
- a speaker, and
- a resonance body component configured to form a resonance space for the speaker on the vehicle door, wherein the resonance body component defines a closed volume for the resonance space in the wet space of the vehicle door, wherein with at least one component portion the resonance body component is arranged on a first side of a door skin portion of the door inner skin facing the wet space;
- and
- a carrier component fixed to the door inner skin configured to separate the wet space from the dry space, wherein the resonance body component is connected to the carrier component, wherein with the at least one component portion the resonance body component is arranged on the first side of the door skin portion of the door inner skin facing the wet space, and with at least one carrier portion the carrier component is arranged on a second side of the door inner skin portion face the dry space.
A method for mounting a door assembly for a vehicle door, the method comprising:
- providing an inner door skin of the vehicle door;
- providing an outer door skin of the vehicle door, wherein the inner door skin and the outer door skin collectively define a wet space and a dry space, wherein the dry space is separate from the wet space;
- providing a speaker;
- and
- providing a resonance body component for forming a resonance space for the speaker, wherein the resonance body component is arranged within the wet space and for the resonance space a closed volume is defined in the wet space of the vehicle door and wherein with at least one component portion the resonance body component is arranged on a first side of a door skin portion of the door skin facing the wet space;
- and
- providing a carrier component to be fixed to the door inner skin, wherein the carrier component is provided on the vehicle door for separating the wet space from the dry space, and wherein the resonance body component is arranged with the at least one component portion on the first side of the door skin portion of the door inner skin facing the wet space, before the carrier component is arranged with at least one carrier portion on a second side of the door skin portion facing the dry space.
