[0031] The first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are connected by a rivet.

[0032] As shown in the drawings, Figure 1 In the embodiment of the present application, the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are both connecting through holes, and the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are connected together by a core-pulling rivet 101, so that the size of the entire connecting structure is small, and at the same time, the use of the core-pulling rivet 101 to connect the support member 20 and the side wall outer plate 10 can reduce the cost.

[0033] The trim plate 30 connecting structure is a clamping hook, and the trim plate 30 is provided with a protrusion, and the clamping hook is matched with the protrusion.

[0034] As shown in the drawings, Figure 1 In the embodiment of the present application, the end of the first end of the support member 20 is bent to form a clamping hook, and the side surface of the trim plate 30 close to the support member 20 is provided with a protruding structure, and the protrusion is blocked on the clamping hook on the support member 20, so that the trim plate 30 is connected to the A-pillar structure. In some embodiments, the first end of the support member 20 or the part close to the first end is provided with a clasp, and the trim plate 30 is provided with a clamping groove capable of matching the clasp, and the clasp is connected with the clamping groove, so that the trim plate 30 is connected to the A-pillar structure.

[0035] The support member 20 further includes a second end, and the second end is provided with a first adhesive strip mounting structure for mounting the sealing adhesive strip 40.

[0036] As shown in the drawings, Figure 1As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the support 20 can provide installation and support for the installation of the trim panel 30 and the installation and support of the frameless door sealing structure. The second end of the support 20 is provided with a clamping groove, and the sealing rubber strip 40 can be clamped in the clamping groove, thereby realizing the fixation of the sealing rubber strip 40.

[0037] The trim panel 30 is also provided with a second rubber strip installation structure, which is used to install the sealing rubber strip 40.

[0038] As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the second rubber strip installation structure is arranged on the side of the trim panel 30 away from the support 20, and the second rubber strip installation structure is a bent clamping hook part. The sealing rubber strip 40 is hooked with the clamping hook part, thereby realizing the connection and fixation of the sealing rubber strip 40. Figure 1

[0039] The material of the support 20 is plastic, aluminum or aluminum alloy.

[0040] In the embodiment of the present application, the material of the support 20 can be metal or non-metal material, and is preferably aluminum or aluminum alloy, or can be hard plastic and the like.

[0041] The support 20 is an aluminum plate material extruded and formed.

[0042] In the embodiment of the present application, the support 20 is preferably an aluminum plate material, which is extruded or stamped and formed.

[0043] The thickness of the support 20 is 0.5mm-5mm.

[0044] In the embodiment of the present application, the thickness of the support 20 is determined according to the selected material and the processing difficulty. Optionally, the thickness of the support 20 is 0.5mm-5mm, and preferably, the thickness of the support 20 is 1.0mm-2.0mm.

[0045] The length of the support 20 is not greater than that of the trim panel 30.

[0046] In the embodiment of the present application, since the support 20 is used to connect the trim panel 30, the length of the support 20 is consistent with the length of the trim panel 30. In some embodiments, the length of the support 20 is less than that of the trim panel 30. The width direction dimension of the support 20 should be as small as possible under the premise of meeting the installation of the trim panel 30, so as to reduce the width of the A-pillar structure, thereby reducing the A-pillar obstacle angle and reducing the influence of the A-pillar on the driving field of view.

[0047] The embodiment of the present application also discloses a vehicle, which comprises the vehicle A-pillar structure as described above.

[0048] As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the second rubber strip installation structure is arranged on the side of the trim panel 30 away from the support 20, and the second rubber strip installation structure is a bent clamping hook part. The sealing rubber strip 40 is hooked with the clamping hook part, thereby realizing the connection and fixation of the sealing rubber strip 40. Figure 2 ​As shown, the prior art adopts the nut and bolt cooperation mode to directly connect the trim panel 30 with the first flanging surface on the side outer panel 10. Since the pre-assembly mode is arranged on the side outer panel 10, the normal dimension of the entire trim panel 30 installation structure is about 7 mm, which is relatively large, thereby resulting in a large A-pillar width. As shown, Figure 3 In the embodiments of the present application, the extrusion molding section is fully flexible and adjustable, the support 20 is riveted with the first bending surface of the side outer panel 10 by extrusion molding, and then the trim panel 30 is connected with the support 20. The support 20 not only provides installation and support for the trim panel 30, but also provides installation and support for the frameless door sealing structure. The entire trim panel 30 installation structure has a size less than 4 mm, greatly reduces the influence of the A-pillar size on the driving field of view, and improves the driving experience.

[0049] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
