Design of backdoor

BACK-DOOR DESIGN

Objective:

Use the provided styling surface to come up with a back door design, use appropriate design methodologies and provide the necessary reinforcements and embosses.

Software Used:
NX CAD

Backdoor Introduction:

An automobile back door or Tailgate is the panel that covers the boot (or trunk) of an automobile. It enables access to the main luggage compartment. A hinge allows the boot lid to be raised, while devices such as springs or gas cylinders hold it up in the open position The Backdoor is an assembly of many parts such as inner panel, outer panel upper, outer panel lower and Reinforcement. Inner panel is attached to the outer panel using mastic sealant.

Total no. of parts in Backdoor are:

• Back door outer panel (upper)
• Back door outer panel (lower)
• Back door inner panel
• Hinge reinforcements
• Gas stay reinforcements
• Latch and striker reinforcements

Wiper motor reinforcements

WIPER MOTOR REINFORCEMENT:

GAS STAY REINFORCEMENT:

LATCH AND STRIKER REINFORCEMENT:

DRAFT ANALYSIS:

Draft analysis is done to show that the Part can be easily drawn out from the mould.

So the above design has been analysed using the tool on NX CAD with having 8 degree as the allowance.

Conclusion

Thus the back door was designed from the given styling surface and Draft analysis is also done on the inner panel to check the manufacturing conditions. In this challenge i learned to design the Inner panel, the Outer panel, Wiper Motor reinforcement, Hinge reinforcement, Gas Gtay reinforcements, Latch and Striker reinforcement and its position.
