Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicles, and more specifically to a guide rail, a guide rail assembly, and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] The door window guide rail assembly is one of the important components of a car door, serving as a guide for the window to move up and down. A door window guide rail typically consists of a rail body and a sealing strip housed within the rail body. The rail body is mounted on the door, and the sealing strip receives the door window.

[0003] Existing guide rail bodies often adopt an open U-shaped structure, with the left and right side walls of the guide rail abutting against the sealing strip. This only provides unidirectional restriction for the sealing strip in the left and right directions, and there is a risk that the sealing strip may fall off from the opening of the guide rail body.

[0004] Therefore, a new technical solution is needed in this field to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To improve or solve the technical problem of sealing strips easily falling off from the opening of the guide rail body in the prior art, the present invention provides a guide rail. The guide rail includes: a guide rail body having a guide rail groove extending along its length, the guide rail groove having a bottom wall, a first side wall and a second side wall extending outwardly from both sides of the bottom wall and opposite to each other, and an opening opposite the bottom wall; and a limiting structure disposed on the first side wall and / or the second side wall and configured to extend into the opening and close a portion of the opening.

[0006] The guide rail of this invention includes a guide rail body and a limiting structure. The guide rail body has a guide rail groove for arranging a sealing strip. The guide rail groove has a bottom wall and first and second side walls extending outwards from both sides of the bottom wall and opposing each other, making the guide rail groove generally U-shaped and having an opening opposite the bottom wall. The limiting structure is arranged on the first and / or second side walls and extends towards the opening, capable of closing a portion of the opening, thereby limiting the sealing strip in the height direction of the guide rail body and preventing the sealing strip from falling out of the opening. Through the above-described configuration, the guide rail of this invention can close a portion of the opening through the limiting structure, thereby preventing the sealing strip from falling out of the opening of the guide rail body.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of the guide rail of the present invention, the first sidewall has a first edge away from the bottom wall; the limiting structure includes a claw positioned near the first edge, the claw and the first sidewall forming a first limiting groove with an opening facing the bottom wall. With the above arrangement, the claw is arranged on the first edge of the first sidewall away from the bottom wall, and can abut against one side of the sealing strip on opposite sides of the bottom wall in the height direction of the guide rail body, thereby limiting the sealing strip in the height direction of the guide rail body. Simultaneously, the claw and the first sidewall forming the first limiting groove with an opening facing the bottom wall, the first limiting groove for accommodating the support arm of the sealing strip, can enhance the restriction of the sealing strip by the guide rail body in both the width and height directions, preventing the sealing strip from falling off from the opening of the guide rail body.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of the guide rail of the present invention, a first demolding groove is formed on the bottom wall, opposite to the claw. The limiting structure closes a portion of the opening, making it difficult to manufacture the guide rail body by injection molding. With the above-described arrangement, the first demolding groove on the bottom wall allows the demolding slider, matching the shape of the claw, to be pulled away from the guide rail body from the bottom wall in a direction away from the claw, facilitating the injection molding of the guide rail body.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the guide rail of the present invention, the first demolding grooves are spaced apart along the length direction; the claw includes a first claw support arm connected to the first sidewall, and second demolding grooves spaced apart from each other are formed on the first claw support arm, the second demolding grooves being alternately arranged with the first demolding grooves along the length direction. Through the above arrangement, the second demolding grooves are disposed on the first claw support arm and alternately arranged with the first demolding grooves, which ensures that the first limiting groove remains continuous along the length direction of the guide rail body, and also guarantees the structural strength of the bottom wall, preventing deformation and damage to the guide rail body.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the guide rail of the present invention, a third demolding groove spaced apart from each other is provided on the second side wall, and one of the third demolding grooves and a corresponding second demolding groove correspond in the length direction. With the above arrangement, the second demolding groove is located on the first claw support arm, allowing the demolding slider matching the first limiting groove to be pulled away from the guide rail body in a direction away from the bottom wall; the third demolding groove is located on the second side wall, allowing another demolding slider matching the aforementioned demolding slider to be pulled away from the guide rail body in a direction away from the first side wall, thus eliminating the need to provide a demolding groove corresponding to the second demolding groove on the bottom wall, ensuring the structural strength of the bottom wall.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the guide rail of the present invention, reinforcing ribs are provided on the sides of the bottom wall and the first side wall opposite to the guide rail groove. By providing these reinforcing ribs on the sides of the bottom wall and the first side wall opposite to the guide rail groove, the structural strength of the guide rail body can be enhanced, preventing deformation and damage to the guide rail body.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of the guide rail of the present invention, the guide rail further includes a mounting bracket that is fixedly connected to the guide rail body, and the mounting bracket is adapted to be installed on a vehicle door. With the above-described configuration, the mounting bracket is used to fix the guide rail body to the vehicle door.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of the guide rail of the present invention, the second sidewall has a second edge away from the bottom wall; the limiting structure includes a limiting plate positioned near the second edge, the limiting plate, the bottom wall, and the second sidewall forming a second limiting groove facing the first sidewall. With the above arrangement, the limiting plate is arranged on the second edge of the second sidewall away from the bottom wall, and can abut against one side of the sealing strip on opposite sides of the first sidewall in the width direction of the guide rail body, thereby limiting the sealing strip in the width direction of the guide rail body. Simultaneously, the second limiting groove accommodates the support arm of the sealing strip, enhancing the restriction of the sealing strip in both the width and height directions of the guide rail body, preventing the sealing strip from falling off from the opening of the guide rail body.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the guide rail of the present invention, a fourth demolding groove is provided on the bottom wall, opposite to the limiting plate. With this arrangement, the fourth demolding groove, located on the bottom wall and opposite to the limiting plate, allows the demolding slider, which matches the second limiting groove, to be pulled away from the guide rail body in a direction away from the limiting plate, thus facilitating the injection molding of the guide rail body.

[0015] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention also discloses a guide rail assembly, comprising: a guide rail according to any one of the preceding claims; and a sealing strip, wherein the sealing strip is limited within the guide rail groove of the guide rail by a limiting structure of the guide rail. Through the above arrangement, the sealing strip is limited within the guide rail groove of the guide rail by the limiting structure, preventing the sealing strip from detaching from the guide rail body and maintaining the stability of the door window's lifting and lowering.

[0016] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned guide rail assembly, the guide rail includes a claw, and the guide rail body includes a bottom wall and a first side wall, the first side wall and the claw forming a first limiting groove; the sealing strip includes an annular body and a first arm arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the annular body, the first arm mates with the first limiting groove, and the bottom wall and the claw respectively abut against one side of the opposite sides of the annular body in the height direction of the guide rail. Through the above arrangement, the first arm is accommodated in the first limiting groove, and the bottom wall and the claw abut against one side of the opposite sides of the annular body in the height direction of the guide rail, which enhances the connection stability between the sealing strip and the guide rail body, and further maintains the stability of the door window lifting.

[0017] In the preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned guide rail assembly, the guide rail further includes a limiting plate, and the guide rail body further includes a second sidewall opposite to the first sidewall. The limiting plate, the bottom wall, and the second sidewall form a second limiting groove. The sealing strip further includes a second support arm arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the annular body. The second support arm mates with the second limiting groove, and the limiting plate and the first sidewall abut against one of the opposite sides of the annular body in the width direction of the guide rail. Through the above arrangement, the second support arm is accommodated within the second limiting groove, and the first sidewall and the limiting plate abut against one of the opposite sides of the annular body in the width direction of the guide rail body, which enhances the connection stability between the sealing strip and the guide rail body, and further maintains the stability of the door window lifting.

[0018] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention also discloses a vehicle comprising the guide rail assembly described in any of the preceding claims.

[0055] Figure 4 This is a demolding diagram of an embodiment of the guide rail of the present invention. Figure 5 This is another schematic diagram illustrating the demolding process of an embodiment of the guide rail of the present invention. Because both the claw 121 and the limiting plate 122 extend towards the opening 115, the guide rail 1 forms a semi-closed structure, making demolding difficult after injection molding. For example... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the demolding principle of the guide rail 1 of the present invention is as follows: an alternating demolding structure is adopted, which includes a first demolding component 210 and a second demolding component 220 arranged alternately along the length direction of the guide rail body 11.

[0056] See Figure 4 In one or more embodiments, the first demolding assembly 210 includes a first demolding slider 211, a second demolding slider 212, and a third demolding slider 213. The first demolding slider 211 mates with the jaws 121 and the first sidewall 113, and can be pulled away from the guide rail body 11 from the first demolding groove 1121. The second demolding slider 212 mates with the second limiting groove 1221, and can be pulled away from the guide rail body 11 from the fourth demolding groove 1122. The third demolding slider 213 is disposed between the first demolding slider 211 and the second demolding slider 212, and can be pulled away from the guide rail body 11 from the opening 115 between the jaws 121 and the limiting plate 122. Figure 4 In the orientation of the guide rail body 11, the first demolding slider 211 and the second demolding slider 212 move downwards to remove the guide rail body 11; the third demolding slider 213 moves upwards to remove the guide rail body 11.

[0057] See Figure 5 In one or more embodiments, the second demolding assembly 220 includes a fourth demolding slider 221 and a fifth demolding slider 222. The fourth demolding slider 221 mates with a first limiting groove 1211 and is removable from the guide rail body 11 from the second demolding groove 12121. The fifth demolding slider 222 is disposed between the fourth demolding slider 221 and the bottom wall 112 and is removable from the guide rail body 11 from the third demolding groove 1141. Figure 5 As shown in the diagram, the fourth demolding slider 221 moves upward, thereby removing itself from the guide rail body 11; the fifth demolding slider 222 moves to the right, thereby removing itself from the guide rail body 11.

[0058] To improve or solve the technical problem that sealing strips easily fall off from the opening of the guide rail body in the prior art, the present invention provides a guide rail assembly.
