Design of backdoor
DESIGN OF BACK DOOR:
Design of back door is also called as the Tail gate. A car back door which is consist of Inner panel, Outer panel. Basically the car parts are made of Steel or Aluminium based on the budget of the car.
Using Aluminium improve the Strength where we can avoid the reinforcements. Aluminium parts are casted and we can very the thickness of the part, because of this avoid or reduce the number of parts as compared to Steel. Only drawback is the cost of aluminium, which is high cast As compared to steel.
Steel Parts are stamped, we cannot vary the thickness of the part because of more number of parts are added. which could increase the weight of the part.So now a days most of the car manufacturers are trying to use Aluminium instead of Steel and they reduce the number of parts and weight of the car drastically.
Components of the Back Door :
Outer panel upper
Outer panel Lower
Inner panel
Latch and Striker Reinforcement
Hinge Reinforcement
Gas stay Reinforcement
Wiper motor reinforcement
Design consideration for a back door :
Rear Visibility
Boot Space and accessibility
Fit and Clearance
Support Structures like hinge and gas stays
Mounts for wiper motor, tail lamps, and other wiring loops.
Inner panel :
draft analysis of inner panel:
Emboss:
Sheet metal embossing is a stamping process for producing raised or sunken design or relief in sheet metal. This process can be made by means of matched male and female roller dies or by passing sheet or a strip of metal between rolls of the desired pattern.Embossing is done by pressing a sheet of par=per in to female die, That has a design etched into it. This is usually done with a male counter part underneath the paper so that the two and the design is transferred to the paper.
Force Distribution:
When the car hit at rear end, the force which acted should be react outside. The Y/V emboss which is helps to move the force to the outer end
Hinge Reinforcement:
Hinges are the essential, that allows doors to pivot on one edged as open as they open and close. They are found on virtually all doors. It is a mechanical bearing that connects two solid objects, typically allowing only a limited angle of rotation between them.
Gas stay reinforcement:
It is used to lift up the Tail gate.
Latch and striker Reinforcement:
Wiper motor reinforcement:
It is small electric motor which is mounted in the rear tail gate. It used to clean the rear wind sheid for clear visibility.

Hemming:
Hemming is a forming operation in which the edges of the sheet are folded or folded over another part in order to achieve a tight fit. Normally hemming operations are used to connect parts together, to improve the appearance of a part and to reinforce part edges.Hemming is used in assembly as a secondary operation after deep drawing, trimming and flanging operation to join two sheet metal parts(outer and inner ) together.
The accuracy of the hemming operation is very important since it affects the appearance of the surface and surface quality.
Corner Relief:
Relief helps to control sheet metal material behaviour and to prevent unwanted deformation during unbend operations. So here I gave two corner reliefs for back door.
