[0067] It is to be understood that the terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "middle", and "one" in the present specification are used only for the convenience of description and are not intended to limit the scope of the present application. The change or adjustment of the relative relationship without substantial change in the technical content is also considered to be within the scope of the present application.

[0068] Reference will now be made to the drawings, and specific language will be used herein to describe the application. It will, however, be apparent that the application is not limited to the specific Figures 1-2The application provides a hidden outer clamping strip mounting structure, which comprises a door outer plate 100, an outer plate reinforcing part 200 and a door outer clamping strip 300, wherein the outer plate reinforcing part 200 is fixed on the inner side of the door outer plate 100, in other words, the outer plate reinforcing part 200 is fixed on the side of the door outer plate 100 close to the window glass, the outer plate reinforcing part 200 can improve the strength of the door, and the outer plate reinforcing part 200 is formed with a groove 110 on the door outer plate 100. The door outer clamping strip 300 is mounted on the outer plate reinforcing part 200, one side of the door outer clamping strip 300 is sealed and abuts against the window glass, the other top is a cover part 310, the cover part 310 covers the groove 110, and the top end of the door outer clamping strip 300 is not higher than the window lower edge of the door outer plate 100, in other words, the cover part 310 is also not higher than the window lower edge of the door outer plate 100. By forming the groove 110 between the outer plate reinforcing part 200 and the door outer plate 100 and covering the groove 110 by the cover part 310, the cover part 310 not only seals and closes the groove 110, avoids rainwater and the like from entering the door from the door outer plate 100, but also plays a decorative role, without the need of separately adding an additional bright decorative strip, and the cover part 310 forms a thin strip-shaped decoration. The top end of the door outer clamping strip 300 is not higher than the window lower edge of the door outer plate 100, compared with the existing door outer clamping strip 300 protruding the window lower edge, the appearance is effectively improved, and the product competitiveness is improved.

[0069] Please refer to Figure 2The height of the door outer clamping strip 300 is even with the lower edge of the door outer panel 100, and the door outer clamping strip 300 comprises a metal framework 320 and a rubber 330 covering the metal framework 320, and the top end of the metal framework 320 is exposed outside the rubber 330. The top end of the metal framework 320 is exposed outside the rubber 330, and the metal framework 320 exposed outside the rubber 330 is a metal surface which can be used as an appearance surface or a metal surface with a coating, thereby playing a role of bright decoration, and there is no need to separately increase a bright decoration, thereby reducing parts, reducing processes, reducing production cost, and improving product competitiveness. Further, the top of the cover part 310 of the metal framework 320 is exposed outside the rubber 330, and the height of the rubber 330 at the cover part 310 is not higher than the height of the metal framework 320 exposed outside the rubber 330, thereby ensuring the visual effect at the window and reducing the exposure of the rubber 330. In other embodiments, the height of the door outer clamping strip 300 can be slightly lower than the height of the door outer panel 100, thereby being more conducive to hiding the rubber 330 at the contact position with the door outer panel 100. Exemplarily, the height of the outer panel reinforcing part 200 is lower than the height of the lower edge of the door outer panel 100, and when the door outer clamping strip 300 is installed on the outer panel reinforcing part 200, the top of the door outer clamping strip 300 is beyond the outer panel reinforcing part 200 and is covered at the groove 110, thereby facilitating the installation of the door outer clamping strip 300, and the door outer clamping strip 300 is even with the lower edge of the door outer panel 100, thereby avoiding the exposure of the outer panel reinforcing part 200 and improving the appearance and neatness.

[0070] Please refer to Figures 3-4 Exemplarily, the outer panel reinforcing part 200 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 210, and the door outer clamping strip 300 is provided with a plurality of clips 340, and the clips 340 are clamped into the mounting holes 210 to fix the door outer clamping strip 300 and the outer panel reinforcing part 200. The door outer clamping strip 300 and the outer panel reinforcing part 200 are fixed through the cooperation of the clips 340 and the mounting holes 210, thereby facilitating the fixing and installation of the door outer clamping strip 300, and the process is simple and convenient to operate, and the technical requirements for workers are low. Exemplarily, the mounting holes 210 are arranged on the outer panel reinforcing part 200 at the groove 110, and after the clips 340 are inserted into the mounting holes 210, part of the structure is inserted into the groove 110, and the clips 340 utilize the space of the groove 110, and there is no need to separately increase the space for clamping the clips 340 into the mounting holes 210, thereby effectively improving the utilization of space and saving the space of the door. Exemplarily, the mounting holes 210 on the outer panel reinforcing part 200 can be directly punched during the production of the outer panel reinforcing part 200, and the operation is simple, and there is no need to additionally increase production processes and cost.

[0071] Please refer to Figures 2-3The exemplary clip 340 includes a main body 341 and a clamping portion 342. The main body 341 is used to connect the clip 340 with the door outer clamping strip 300, and the clamping portion 342 is used to cooperate with the mounting hole 210. The exemplary clamping portion 310 is a resilient member arranged on both sides of one end of the main body 341. The outer side of the resilient member is provided with a step. When the clamping portion 310 is inserted into the mounting hole 210, the two clamping portions 310 are elastically deformed in opposite directions. When the step enters the mounting hole 210, the two clamping portions 310 are restored under the elastic force. The step limits the clamping portion 310 from being separated from the mounting hole 210, so that the clip 340 cooperates with the mounting hole 210, and the clip 340 cannot be separated from the mounting hole 210. Thus, the door outer clamping strip 300 is fixed relative to the outer panel reinforcement 200.

[0072] Please refer to Figure 2 The exemplary door outer clamping strip 300 is provided with a pressing portion 311, which abuts against the door outer panel 100 to limit the movement of the door outer clamping strip 300 towards the door outer panel 100. After the clip 340 cooperates with the mounting hole 210, the clip 340 cannot be separated from the mounting hole 210. However, the clamping portion 342 has a certain elasticity, and when an external force is applied, the clip 340 will further move in the direction of entering the mounting hole 210, thereby causing the door outer clamping strip 300 to shake. By arranging the pressing portion 311, a certain pressing force is formed between the pressing portion 311 and the door outer panel 100, thereby applying a force to the door outer clamping strip 300 in the direction away from the door outer panel 100, so as to ensure that the step of the clip 340 is attached to the side of the mounting hole 210 close to the door outer panel 100, thereby preventing the clip 340 from further moving into the mounting hole 210 during bumping, and preventing the problem of abnormal noise.

[0073] Please refer to Figure 2, exemplary, the extrusion part 311 is arranged at the end of the cover part 310 close to the outer plate 100, the extrusion part 311 extends into the groove 110 from the cover part 310, the angle between the extrusion part 311 and the cover part 310 is not less than 90°, and the extrusion part 311 abuts against the side wall of the groove 110. The extrusion part 311 abuts against the side wall of the groove 110, and the extrusion of the extrusion part 311 itself realizes the extrusion of the outer door clamping strip 300, thereby ensuring the stable fixation of the outer door clamping strip 300 and the outer plate reinforcement 200. The angle between the extrusion part 311 and the cover part 310 is not less than 90°, which can be 90°, 95°, 120°, 170°, etc. The angle between the extrusion part 311 and the cover part 310 is greater than or equal to 90° and less than 180°, thereby ensuring that the force applied to the outer door clamping strip 300 by the extrusion part 311 is in the direction away from the outer plate 100. Further, the extrusion part 311 is coated with the glue 330, and the glue 330 coated on the extrusion part 311 contacts the outer plate 100. On the one hand, the rigid contact between the extrusion part 311 and the outer plate 100 can be reduced to avoid abnormal sound. On the other hand, the distance between the extrusion part 311 and the outer plate 100 after assembly can be avoided to be too large or too small due to the tolerance in the production process of the extrusion part 311. On the other hand, the glue 330 can also seal the groove 110 to avoid rainwater entering the door from the groove 110. Further, the glue 330 at the edge of the extrusion part 311 is arc-shaped, which is adapted to the bending of the outer plate 100, thereby ensuring that the groove 110 can be effectively sealed. Exemplarily, the glue 330 at the extrusion part 311 has a certain interference amount to ensure that the glue 330 is completely attached to the outer plate 100 and the sealing effect is ensured.

[0074] Please refer to Figure 3 , exemplary, the outer door clamping strip 300 is provided with a clamping groove 350, and the clamping piece 340 is slid from the end of the clamping groove 350 to the specified position of the clamping groove 350. By sliding the clamping piece 340 in the clamping groove 350, the position of the clamping piece 340 can be adjusted, thereby ensuring that the clamping piece 340 can be clamped into the mounting hole. The clamping piece 340 is slid from the end of the clamping groove 350 to the specified position of the clamping groove 350, which facilitates the installation and use of the clamping piece 340. Exemplarily, the clamping groove 350 is formed on the metal framework 320 by stamping or other sheet metal methods, which is simple in forming method and convenient for production. Exemplarily, the clamping groove 350 is coated with the glue 330, and the glue 330 coated on the clamping groove 350 can increase the friction between the clamping groove 350 and the clamping piece 340, so that the clamping piece 340 is not easy to move after being moved to the specified position, thereby facilitating the worker to align the clamping piece 340 with the mounting hole 210 and facilitating the worker to install the outer door clamping strip.

[0075] Please refer to Figure 3, exemplary, the card slot 350 is U-shaped, at least one side wall of the U-shaped is inclined from the bottom of the U-shaped to the top of the U-shaped, to the center of the U-shaped, the main body part 341 of the card 340 is adapted to the U-shaped, in other words, the cross section of the main body part 341 of the card 340 is trapezoidal. By setting the U-shaped card slot 350 with the inclined side wall, the card 340 can only slide along the length direction of the card slot 350, avoiding the card 340 from disengaging from the card slot 350 along other directions, especially perpendicular to the length direction of the card slot 350, improving the fastening degree of the cooperation between the card 340 and the mounting hole 210, avoiding the disengagement between the card 340 and the outer clamping strip 300 causing the outer clamping strip 300 to fall off. Exemplary, the U-shaped card slot 350 can be that one side wall is inclined from the bottom of the U-shaped to the top of the U-shaped, to the center of the U-shaped, or that both side walls are inclined from the bottom of the U-shaped to the top of the U-shaped, to the center of the U-shaped, preferably, both side walls are inclined from the bottom of the U-shaped to the top of the U-shaped, to the center of the U-shaped, the two side walls of the U-shaped are inclined at the same angle, the force between the card 340 and the card slot 350 is uniform, improving the stability of the connection between the card 340 and the card slot 350.

[0076] Exemplary, the card 340 is an injection molding part, the main body part 341 of the card 340 is interference fit with the side wall of the card slot 350, the side wall of the card slot 350 is coated with a thin glue 330, increasing the friction force between the card 340 and the card slot 350, when the card 340 moves to the specified position, the relative position between the card 340 and the card slot 350 is not easy to change, more convenient for workers to assemble the card 340 into the mounting hole 210.

[0077] Please refer to Figure 5 , exemplary, the first bending part 120 is arranged at the lower edge of the window of the outer plate 100, the second bending part 120 is arranged at the end of the first bending part 120 and extends to the inner side of the outer plate 100, and the outer plate reinforcing part 200 is fixed at the second bending part 130. By arranging the first bending part 120, the lower edge of the window of the outer plate 100 is smooth. By arranging the second bending part 120, the installation angle of the outer plate reinforcing part 200 is provided, so that the outer plate reinforcing part 200 is conveniently installed. By arranging the first bending part 120 and the second bending part 130, the installation space of the outer plate reinforcing part 200 and the installation space of the outer clamping strip 300 are provided. Further, the second bending part 130 extends to the inner lower side of the outer plate 100, in other words, the second bending part 130 extends downward along the direction away from the outer plate 100, by arranging the second bending part 130 to be inclined, the assembly of the outer plate reinforcing part 200 is more convenient.

[0078] Please refer to Figure 5Exemplarily, the outer plate reinforcing piece 200 is provided with a third bending portion 220, the third bending portion 220 is provided with a fourth bending portion 230, and the third bending portion 220 is fixedly abutted with the second bending portion 130. By abutting the third bending portion 220 with the second bending portion 130, the third bending portion 220 and the second bending portion 130 are both obliquely arranged, which facilitates the relative fixation of the outer plate reinforcing piece 200 and the door outer plate 100 and improves the reinforcing and supporting effect.

[0079] Please refer to Figure 5 Exemplarily, the first bending portion 120 and the second bending portion 130 are provided with a first tongue 140 at the intersection, the third bending portion 220 and the fourth bending portion 230 are provided with a second tongue 240 at the intersection, and the first tongue 140 and the second tongue 240 are fixed by a fastener 250. The first tongue 140 and the second tongue 240 are arranged to facilitate the fixation of the outer plate reinforcing piece 200 and the door outer plate 100 in the case of insufficient space. In the actual production process, the door outer plate 100 and the outer plate reinforcing piece 200 need to be fixed, in order to better fix and hide the door outer clamping strip 300, a space for accommodating the door outer clamping strip 300 needs to be arranged, thereby causing the assembly space between the door outer plate 100 and the outer plate reinforcing piece 200 to be small. Conventional fixing methods such as welding and structural bonding are not applicable. For example, welding needs to be operated on the door outer plate 100 and the outer plate reinforcing piece 200, but the existing assembly space of the door outer plate 100 and the outer plate reinforcing piece 200 does not have a position for accommodating a welding gun. If structural bonding is used, the door outer plate 100 and the outer plate reinforcing piece 200 need to be extruded, but the existing space does not have the condition for extrusion and is insufficient for extrusion. Therefore, by arranging the first tongue 140 and the second tongue 240, the first tongue 140 and the second tongue 240 are relatively fixed by the fastener 250, which facilitates installation and use. Preferably, the fastener 250 is a pull-rivet bolt, which facilitates the relative fixation of the first tongue 140 and the second tongue 240 and is convenient to operate by a pull-rivet tool.

[0080] Please refer to Figures 5-6, exemplary, the first bending portion 120 forms a first cutout 150 at the first tab 140, the fourth bending portion 230 forms a second cutout 260 at the second tab 240, the first cutout 150 and the second cutout 260 accommodate the fastener 250 tool working. By the first cutout 150 and the second cutout 260, the operation space is increased, facilitating the installation of the fastener 250 by the fastener tool. The first bending portion 120 and the second bending portion 130 are bent at the intersection of the first bending portion 120 and the second bending portion 130, forming the first tab 140 and the first cutout 150. The third bending portion 220 and the fourth bending portion 230 are bent at the intersection of the third bending portion 220 and the fourth bending portion 230, forming the second tab 240 and the second cutout 260. Exemplary, the line connecting the edges of the first cutout 150 and the second cutout 260 is perpendicular to the third bending portion 220 or the second bending portion 120. By setting the first cutout 150 and the second cutout 260, the installation space of the fastener tool can be effectively increased, such as the rivet tool of the rivet bolt. Please refer to Figure 6 , the operation space of the rivet tool can be shown as the area a in the figure. By setting the first tab 140 and the second tab 240, the relative fixation between the door outer plate 100 and the outer plate reinforcement 200 can be facilitated. When the first tab 140 and the second tab 240 are fixed by the fastener 250, the first tab 140 and the second tab 240 are more likely to deform relatively, which can allow larger assembly tolerance, thereby reducing the production precision of the door outer plate 100 and the outer plate reinforcement 200 and reducing the production cost. By the first cutout 150 and the second cutout 260, the assembly space is effectively increased, which is beneficial to the operation of workers or machines.
