Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to automobiles, and more specifically to a door external clip mounting structure, a door, and an automobile. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most mainstream door trim strips on the market are attached to the edge of the door panel, creating a visual difference between the trim strip and the panel. As users' visual requirements increase, door trim strips need to be installed below the door panel, using the panel to conceal them and eliminate the visual difference. In existing technology, a reinforcing plate is typically fixed to the inside of the door panel, and the trim strip is attached to it, thus allowing the panel to conceal the strip.

[0003] For example, patent application CN202221927990.X discloses a concealed external water-cutting door and vehicle. The concealed external water-cutting door has a support member on the inner side of the door outer panel, and the external water-cutting component is fixedly installed on the support member.

[0026] The embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification. The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments are only for illustrating the present invention and not for limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of the present invention. Therefore, the drawings only show the components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the actual number, shape and size of the components in the actual implementation. In the actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 5 The illustrated door outer clamping strip installation structure includes a door outer panel 1, a reinforcing plate 2, and a door outer clamping strip 5. The door outer panel 1 includes an outer panel body 11 and an outer panel flange located inside the outer panel body 11. The upper edge of the outer panel flange is connected to the upper edge of the outer panel body 11. The outer panel flange is provided with a first cutting tongue 14 that slopes outward from bottom to top and a first cut formed by processing the first cutting tongue 14. The upper end of the first cutting tongue 14 is a free end, and the lower end of the first cutting tongue 14 is a fixed end. The reinforcing plate 2 is provided with a first cutting tongue 5 that slopes outward from bottom to top. The second cutting tongue 25, which is inclined outwards, and the second cutting tongue 25, which forms a second cut 27, have an upper free end and a lower fixed end. The first cutting tongue 14 and the second cutting tongue 25 are fixedly connected to fix the reinforcing plate 2 to the inner side of the outer panel flange. The reinforcing plate 2 includes a first connecting edge 24 located at its upper edge. The position of the first connecting edge 24 is lower than the upper edge of the outer panel body 11, and the door outer clamping strip 5 is clamped on the first connecting edge 24. By adopting the above technical solution, by setting the first connecting edge 24, which is located lower than the upper edge of the outer panel body 11, an installation point for the concealed door outer clamping strip 5 can be provided. By setting the first cutting tongue 14, which is inclined outwards from bottom to top, and the second cutting tongue 25, which is inclined outwards from bottom to top, a fixed connection between the reinforcing plate 2 and the door outer panel 1 can be formed. Figure 2The installation space shown is 'a' of width. The installation space slopes outwards from top to bottom, resulting in a wider installation space and better visibility, making it easier to operate and more feasible. This design avoids the need for a fixed connection between the reinforcing plate 2 and the outer door panel 1 before door assembly. The connection can be made during door or vehicle assembly, reducing restrictions on the reinforcing plate 2 and facilitating its connection to the inner door panel assembly 3, thus improving the structural strength of the door. The outer panel flange facilitates the installation of the first tongue piece 14, preventing it from affecting the appearance of the outer door panel 1 and reducing the number of parts.

[0029] In some embodiments, a plurality of first cutting tongues 14 are provided on the outer panel flange, and the plurality of first cutting tongues 14 are arranged sequentially at intervals along the length direction of the outer door trim 5. A plurality of second cutting tongues 25 are provided on the reinforcing plate 2, and the plurality of second cutting tongues 25 are arranged sequentially at intervals along the length direction of the outer door trim 5. The plurality of second cutting tongues 25 are respectively fixedly connected to the plurality of first cutting tongues 14. By adopting the above technical solution, the connection between the reinforcing plate 2 and the outer panel flange can be guaranteed to be stable.

[0030] In some embodiments, the outer panel flange includes an outer panel flange body 12 and an inclined edge 13 that slopes inward from top to bottom. The outer panel flange body 12 extends downward from the upper edge of the outer panel body 11, and the upper edge of the inclined edge 13 is connected to the lower edge of the outer panel flange body 12. The lower end of the first tongue piece 14 is connected to the inclined edge 13. By adopting the above technical solution and providing the inclined edge 13, on the one hand, the bending degree of the lower end of the first tongue piece 14 can be reduced or eliminated, which is beneficial to ensuring the structural strength of the first tongue piece 14. On the other hand, the cooperation between the inclined edge 13 and the first inclined portion 22 can play a certain role in installation and positioning, which is beneficial to reducing the operational difficulty of fixing and connecting the reinforcing plate 2 and the outer panel 1 of the door. As a preferred example, the inclination angle of the first tongue piece 14 is consistent with the inclination angle of the inclined edge 13.

[0031] In some embodiments, the reinforcing plate 2 includes a reinforcing plate body 21, a first inclined portion 22 inclined outward from bottom to top, a second inclined portion 23 inclined inward from bottom to top, and a first connecting edge 24 extending upward from the upper edge of the first inclined portion 22. The lower edge of the first inclined portion 22 is connected to the upper edge of the reinforcing plate body 21, the lower edge of the second inclined portion 23 is connected to the upper edge of the first inclined portion 22, and the lower end of the second tongue piece 25 is connected to the first inclined portion 22. By adopting the above technical solution and providing the first inclined portion 22, on the one hand, the bending degree of the lower end of the second tongue piece 25 can be reduced or eliminated, which is beneficial to ensuring the structural strength of the second tongue piece 25; on the other hand, the cooperation between the inclined edge 13 and the first inclined portion 22 can play a certain role in installation and positioning, which is beneficial to reducing the operational difficulty of fixing and connecting the reinforcing plate 2 and the outer door panel 1. The second inclined portion 23 is provided such that the first connecting edge 24 is spaced apart from the outer panel flange body 12, thereby forming a mounting groove between the upper part of the reinforcing plate 2 and the outer panel flange to accommodate one side wall of the door outer clamping strip 5. The first inclined portion 22 and the second inclined portion 23 constitute a reinforcing structure, which can improve the structural strength of the reinforcing plate 2. As a preferred example, the inclination angle of the second cutting tongue 25 is the same as the inclination angle of the first inclined portion 22.

[0032] In some embodiments, a protrusion 28 protruding outward is provided on the first connecting edge 24. By adopting the above technical solution, the protrusion 28 is used to ensure the clamping force of the outer door clamping strip 5, which helps to reduce the material thickness requirement of the reinforcing plate 2.

[0033] In some embodiments, the first tongue 14 and the second tongue 25 are fixedly connected by a rivet bolt 4. Specifically, the first tongue 14 has a first connecting hole 15 that mates with the rivet bolt 4, and the second tongue 25 has a second connecting hole 26 that mates with the rivet bolt 4. Using the above technical solution, the rivet bolt 4 and the rivet gun can extend through the installation space to the first tongue 14 and the second tongue 25, and connecting the first tongue 14 and the second tongue 25 using the rivet bolt 4 is easy to operate.

[0034] In some embodiments, a mounting groove for accommodating a side wall of the outer door trim 5 is formed between the upper part of the reinforcing plate 2 and the outer plate flange. The first cut and / or the second cut 27 are configured as drain outlets capable of draining water from the mounting groove. Using the above technical solution, drainage is achieved through cuts created by the tongue machining process, offering two advantages at once. In specific implementations, the drain outlet can be located at the lowest point of the mounting groove, allowing water in the mounting groove to be drained into the door and discharged through the door's drain hole. As a specific example, the first connecting edge 24 and the second inclined portion 23 constitute the upper part of the reinforcing plate 2. As a specific example, water in the mounting groove can be drained through the second cut 27, with the drainage direction as follows... Figure 3 As shown by the arrow in the image.

[0035] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present invention also proposes a car door, including a door inner panel assembly 3, a door inner clamping strip 6, and a door outer clamping strip mounting structure as described in any of the above. The door inner clamping strip 6 is mounted on the door inner panel assembly 3. In a specific implementation, a second connecting edge 31 is provided on the door inner panel assembly 3, and the door inner clamping strip 6 is clamped on the second connecting edge 31. The door inner clamping strip 6 forms a certain amount of interference with the door glass 7, and the door outer clamping strip 5 also forms a certain amount of interference with the door glass 7. The door inner clamping strip 6 can cut off water droplets, water mist, and dust on the inner surface of the door glass 7, and the door outer clamping strip 5 can cut off water droplets, water mist, and dust on the outer surface of the door glass 7.

[0036] In some embodiments, the reinforcing plate 2 is fixedly connected to the inner door panel assembly 3. Using the above technical solution, the reinforcing plate 2 can be fixedly connected to the inner door panel assembly 3 first, and then the reinforcing plate 2 and the outer door panel 1 can be fixedly connected together during the assembly of the door or the vehicle. The reinforcing plate 2 forms a connection between the outer door panel 1 and the inner door panel assembly 3, which can improve the structural strength of the door. In specific implementations, the fixed connection method between the reinforcing plate 2 and the inner door panel assembly 3 can be selected, but is not limited to welding or riveting.
