Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automobile external water cutouts, and in particular to an automobile luminous hidden external water cutout sealing structure. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous development of automobile technology, people's demand for the multi-function of automobiles is gradually increasing. For example, the requirements for the quality and technological sense of automobiles are getting higher and higher. More and more cars are equipped with atmosphere lights inside and outside the car to create a sense of luxury and technology in the interior space, so as to enhance the user's light and shadow experience. As an automotive exterior part, the external water cut is generally installed at the waistline of the car door. It mainly plays a supporting role during the glass lifting process, and cuts off water droplets, water mist and dust on the glass surface during the lifting process to ensure the sound insulation and air tightness of the vehicle. The external water cut is generally located at the upper end of the door outer panel and is exposed outside the car. The exposed structure will have requirements for aesthetic appearance. Some models will design metal trims for decoration. In recent years, in order to improve competitiveness, in addition to the conventional functional requirements given to the external water cut, the changes in the demand for appearance should also be taken seriously. However, the conventional models on the market have not made adaptive changes, and the product structure is stereotyped.
[0003] Chinese patent announcement numbers CN114932794A and CN114368266A respectively disclose two types of hidden external water-cut structures, which hide conventional external water-cuts on the inside of sheet metal. Although this can improve the appearance of the external water-cuts and reduce costs, it has the following shortcomings: 1. The above-mentioned hidden external water-cuts all adopt the form of conventional external water-cut co-extrusion, and there will still be black edges leaking out. From the perspective of the driver and passengers, the black edge leaking area will have inconsistent appearance and unsightly effects; 2. The external water-cuts are not given more functions at night, such as decoration and lighting effects. Summary of the invention
