[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the automobile door frame with flush glass mainly includes a window frame 100, an inner panel 300, an outer panel 200 and a glass assembly, wherein the window frame 100, the inner panel 300 and the outer panel 200 can be processed by rolling, and the window frame 100 has a window frame groove 101; the inner panel 300 is located at the lower side of the window frame 100 and is used to support the entire window frame 100; wherein the left end of the outer panel 200 is overlapped on the window frame 100, and the right end of the outer panel 200 is covered and connected with the inner panel 300, so that the outer panel 200, the inner panel 300 and the window frame 100 form a whole, thereby ensuring the strength of the entire automobile door frame, and the outer panel 200 is provided with a plurality of sashes. The upper surface is provided with an outer decorative panel 600, which ensures the aesthetic appearance. The glass assembly includes a guide, an automobile glass 400 and a glass sealing strip 500. The lower end of the automobile glass 400 is connected to the guide, wherein the glass sealing strip 500 is located in the window frame groove 101. The guide is arranged laterally in the glass sealing strip 500 to drive the automobile glass 400 down and at the same time make the automobile glass 400 flush with the surface of the outer decorative panel 600. The main innovation is to make the automobile glass 400 flush with the surface of the outer decorative panel 600, achieving zero step difference among the automobile glass 400, the window frame groove 101 and the outer decorative panel 600, thereby reducing the wind resistance of the vehicle movement and improving the vehicle comfort.

[0026] As an optimization, the glass sealing strip 500 includes a lower fitting portion 501, a glass limiting groove portion 502 and a gap supporting portion 503. The glass limiting groove portion 502 opens to the left, and has two lifting lower limiting lips 504 on the lower side of the glass limiting groove portion 502. The gap supporting portion includes a lifting upper limiting lip 505 and a gap supporting lip 506. The guide is located in the glass limiting groove portion 502 and is limited by the lifting lower limiting lip 504 and the lifting upper limiting lip 505. The gap supporting lip 506 is pressed against the outer cover. The gap formed between the trim panel 600 and the automobile glass 400 is formed by lifting the lower limiting lip 504 and the upper limiting lip 505 to ensure the lifting and lowering movement position of the guide member. The gap against the lip can prevent impurities from entering the door frame. The lower fitting portion 501 is attached to the bottom of the window frame groove 101 and ensures the stable installation of the glass sealing strip 500. A left covering portion is formed between the left end of the inner plate 300 and the window frame 100, and a side sealing strip 800 is installed on the left covering portion, wherein the side sealing strip 800 is an inverted U The side lip 801 is attached to the left side of the left covering portion 900, the upper lip 803 is pressed against the bottom of the automobile glass 400, and the side limiting lip 802 is located at the opening of the glass limiting groove 502 and limits the left and right positions of the guide member. The lower side of the inner plate 300 has an inner support portion 301, and a protective member 302 is installed on the lower bottom surface of the inner support portion 301. Here, the protective member 302 can effectively protect the bottom of the inner support portion 301. For protection, the left end of the protective member 302 extends into the side sealing strip 800 and is fixed. The side limiting lip 802 is integrally connected with an edge anti-slip lip 804, and the edge anti-slip lip 804 is pressed against the left end of the protective member, so that the installation position of the side sealing strip 800 can be guaranteed. In this way, the glass sealing strip 500 is restricted, the stability of the lifting and lowering is ensured, and the structure that restricts the movement of the automobile glass 400 in the front and rear directions, inside and outside directions of the vehicle can be smoothly lifted and lowered, and good sealing performance is guaranteed.

[0027] The lower side of the outer panel 200 is the inner panel 300, wherein the right side of the outer panel 200 and the right side of the inner panel 300 are covered and connected to form a whole, thus enhancing the overall strength. The inner side of the window frame 100 is provided with a window frame groove 101, and the window frame groove 101 is provided with an automobile glass 400 and a glass sealing strip 500. The glass sealing strip 500 can ensure good sealing performance of the entire automobile glass 400.

[0028] like Figure 2As shown, the biggest innovation of this patent is that the structure reduces the distance D from the upper end of the window frame to the outer decorative panel. Specifically, the upper end of the window frame 100 is divided into a matching part 102, a step difference part 103 and an overlapping surface part 104 from left to right. The size of the step difference part 103 and the sufficient width of the overlapping surface part 104 need to be considered when setting. The left end of the outer panel 200 is placed on the overlapping surface part 104, and a continuous or intermittent welding connection is made at the overlapping surface part 104 along the length direction of the window frame 100, so that the outer panel 200 and the window frame 100 are combined together. Here, the distance of the step difference part 103 is staggered, and it can be seen that since the outer panel 200 is directly overlapped, rather than the covering connection of the prior art, the distance D from the upper end of the window frame to the outer decorative panel can be significantly reduced, thereby reducing the step difference between the door glass and the window frame 100, improving the aesthetics of the entire vehicle, and reducing the wind resistance of the vehicle movement.

[0029] In order to ensure smooth overlap, as an optimization, there is an overlap gap 105 between the overlap surface 104 and the step difference portion 103, and arc welding is performed at the overlap gap 105 along the length direction of the window frame 100, so that the left end of the outer panel 200 and the overlap surface 104 have adjustment space, which is convenient for connection. The upper end of the outer panel 200 has an outer decorative panel 600, and the lower side of the outer decorative panel 600 has a connecting tape 700, wherein the matching portion 102 and the left end of the outer panel 200 jointly form a mounting surface to provide installation space for the connecting tape 700 on the outer decorative panel 600, so that the entire outer decorative panel 600 can be fitted on the mounting surface, thereby ensuring the aesthetics of the entire vehicle. In order to ensure the smooth installation of the glass sealing strip 500, the corner 109 of the matching portion 102 is An anti-slip step 106 is provided, and a boss 107 is provided on the bottom of the window frame 100. The anti-slip step 106 and the boss 107 limit the position of the glass sealing strip 500 installed in the window frame groove 101, thereby limiting the two sides of the glass sealing strip 500 to prevent it from slipping out. The lower side of the outer panel 200 is the inner panel 300, wherein the right side of the outer panel 200 and the right side of the inner panel 300 are covered and connected, and the boss 107 of the window frame 100 is integrally connected downward with an extension step 108, and a corner 109 is provided at the extension step 108. The left end of the inner support part 301 is covered and connected with the corner 109, so that the inner panel 300 and the window frame 100 are firmly combined together, so that the inner panel 300, the window frame 100 and the outer panel 200 form a whole, thereby ensuring the strength of the entire door frame.

[0030] The specific embodiments described herein are merely examples of the spirit of the present invention. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or replace them with similar methods without departing from the scope defined by the spirit of the present invention.
