Abstract
A vehicle door, comprising an inner door panel and an outer door panel with an inner surface facing the inner door panel, is provided. A loudspeaker which is arranged on the inner door panel, is spaced apart from the outer door panel and is intended for generating acoustic sound waves. A sound-guiding element which is designed to deflect sound waves radiated in the direction of the outer door panel by the loudspeaker and to guide said sound waves into a wet chamber of the vehicle door, which wet chamber is formed between the inner door panel and the outer door panel, and/or into a dry chamber of the vehicle door, which dry chamber is formed on a side of the inner door panel that faces away from the outer door panel.
Claims17
A vehicle door, comprising
- an inner door panel,
- an outer door panel with an inner surface facing the inner door panel
- a door module comprising a carrier element configured to carry functional components of the vehicle door and being arranged on the inner door panel,
- a loudspeaker on the carrier element of the door module, the loudspeaker being spaced apart from the outer door panel and being configured to generate acoustic sound waves, and
- a sound-guiding element which is designed to deflect sound waves radiated in the direction of the outer door panel by the loudspeaker and to guide said sound waves into at least one of a wet chamber of the vehicle door, which wet chamber is formed between the inner door panel and the outer door panel, and into a dry chamber of the vehicle door, which dry chamber is formed on a side of the inner door panel that faces away from the outer door panel,
- wherein the sound-guiding element is fastened via braces to the door module, and wherein slats for reflecting sound waves reflected at the sound-guiding element are arranged on the braces, the slats extending in parallel and being spaced from to each other.
A vehicle door, comprising
- an inner door panel,
- an outer door panel with an inner surface facing the inner door panel,
- a door module comprising a carrier element configured to carry functional components of the vehicle door and being arranged on the inner door panel,
- a loudspeaker on the carrier element of the door module, the loudspeaker being spaced apart from the outer door panel and being configured to generate acoustic sound waves, and
- a sound-guiding element which is designed to deflect sound waves radiated in the direction of the outer door panel by the loudspeaker and to guide said sound waves into at least one of a wet chamber of the vehicle door, which wet chamber is formed between the inner door panel and the outer door panel, and into a dry chamber of the vehicle door, which dry chamber is formed on a side of the inner door panel that faces away from the outer door panel,
- wherein the sound-guiding element has a number of slats which are directed at an oblique angle to a main plane of extent along which the outer door panel extends, the slats extending in parallel and being spaced from each other.
A vehicle door, comprising
- an inner door panel,
- an outer door panel with an inner surface facing the inner door panel,
- a door module comprising a carrier element configured to carry functional components of the vehicle door and being arranged on the inner door panel,
- a loudspeaker on the carrier element of the door module, the loudspeaker being spaced apart from the outer door panel and being configured to generate acoustic sound waves, and
- a sound-guiding element which is designed to deflect sound waves radiated in the direction of the outer door panel by the loudspeaker and to guide said sound waves into at least one of a wet chamber of the vehicle door, which wet chamber is formed between the inner door panel and the outer door panel, and into a dry chamber of the vehicle door, which dry chamber is formed on a side of the inner door panel that faces away from the outer door panel,
- wherein the sound-guiding element forms a guide channel on the door module for guiding sound waves away from the loudspeaker, the guide channel extending from the loudspeaker along the door module towards an opening formed on the door module to pass sound waves to at least one of the wet chamber and the dry chamber.
