[0036] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and technical features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other, and the detailed descriptions in the specific implementation should be understood as explanations of the purpose of this application and should not be regarded as undue limitations on this application.

[0037] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, the unit "mm" refers to millimeters.

[0038] This application provides a vehicle, which includes the trim strip assembly and frameless doors as described in any embodiment of this application.

[0039] Please see Figures 1 to 6 The decorative strip assembly provided in this application includes a decorative strip 1, a sealing strip 2, and a limiting member 3.

[0040] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2The trim strip 1 defines a receiving space 11, which is used to accommodate the vehicle window. In other words, the trim strip assembly is used for the vehicle. The trim strip assembly is fixed to the vehicle body, and the frameless door is movably connected to the vehicle body.

[0041] The sealing strip 2 is disposed on the side of the decorative strip 1 facing the receiving space 11, and the sealing strip 2 extends from the first end of the decorative strip 1 along the length of the decorative strip 1 to the last end of the decorative strip 1.

[0042] Please see Figure 6 The limiting member 3 is disposed on the decorative strip 1 and is connected to the sealing strip 2, so that the tail side 2a of the sealing strip 2 and the tail side 1a of the decorative strip 1 are coplanar. That is, the tail side 2a of the sealing strip 2 and the tail side 1a of the decorative strip 1 are in the same plane. In other words, the tail side 2a of the sealing strip 2 and the tail side 1a of the decorative strip 1 are flush.

[0043] The frameless door includes a door body and a window movably mounted on the door body. The window can selectively avoid the sealing strip 2 or enter the receiving space 11 and abut against the sealing strip 2. A frameless door means that the outer perimeter of the window has no frame. That is, when the window is closed, the window abuts against the sealing strip 2. When the window is open, the window avoids the sealing strip 2, i.e., does not contact the sealing strip 2. For example, when the window is closed, the window can enter the receiving space 11 and abut against the sealing strip 2 to close the receiving space 11. This isolates external disturbances and creates a quiet and comfortable cabin environment. When the window is open, the window can open the receiving space 11 without contacting the sealing strip 2, thus allowing external airflow into the cabin.

[0044] The applicant discovered that in the relevant technology, since the sealing strip extends from the beginning to the end of the decorative strip along its length, for example, the length of the sealing strip is about two meters, and the length tolerance of the sealing strip is large, for example, it can reach ±5mm. The length tolerance of the sealing strip is easy to accumulate at the end, making it difficult for the tail side of the sealing strip to be flush with the tail side of the decorative strip. Therefore, after the sealing strip and the decorative strip are assembled, not only is wind noise easy to occur, but also appearance defects between the sealing strip and the decorative strip.

[0045] The decorative strip assembly provided in this application embodiment restricts the position of the sealing strip 2 by limiting the member 3, so that the tail side 2a of the sealing strip 2 is coplanar with the tail side 1a of the decorative strip 1. In this way, the tail side 2a of the sealing strip 2 is flush with the tail side 1a of the decorative strip 1, thereby reducing wind noise after the sealing strip 2 and the decorative strip 1 are assembled, and also solving the appearance defects caused by the unevenness between the sealing strip 2 and the decorative strip 1.

[0046] In some embodiments, the window can be mounted on the door in a height-adjustable manner. For example, the window can be raised and lowered along the top-bottom direction. Thus, both the trim strip 1 and the sealing strip 2 are located approximately on the top side of the window.

[0047] Understandably, car windows can also be mounted on car doors in other ways.

[0048] The material of the car windows is not limited, but includes, but is not limited to, glass.

[0049] The material of the sealing strip 2 is not limited, but it should be a flexible material, such as rubber. When the car window is closed, the sealing strip 2 should be able to elastically deform to seal the gap between the decorative strip 1 and the car window.

[0050] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The decorative strip assembly includes a side window frame 4, a decorative strip 1 disposed on the side window frame 4, and a sealing strip 2 whose first end is detachably connected to the side window frame 4. The side window frame 4 is connected to the vehicle body. The detachable connection of the sealing strip 2 to the side window frame 4 facilitates the removal of the sealing strip 2 and prevents the first end of the sealing strip 2 from shifting.

[0051] In one embodiment, the first end of the sealing strip 2 is snapped into the side window frame 4. In this way, the first end of the sealing strip 2 can be quickly assembled.

[0052] As an example, in one embodiment, please refer to Figures 7 to 9 The sealing strip 2 has a buckle 23 at its first end, and the side window frame 4 has a latch. The circumferential surface of the buckle 23 has a groove 231. The buckle 23 passes through the latch, and the portion of the side window frame 4 that forms the latch is positioned within the groove 231 to prevent the buckle 23 from disengaging. During the assembly of the first end of the sealing strip 2 to the side window frame 4, force is applied to allow the buckle 23 to pass through the latch, and the portion of the side window frame 4 that forms the latch enters the groove 231. The groove wall of the groove 231 clamps the portion of the side window frame 4 that forms the latch to prevent the buckle 23 from disengaging.

[0053] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 10A positioning portion 12 is formed on at least one side of the decorative strip 1 in the width direction, and a positioning groove 22 is formed on at least one side of the sealing strip 2 in the width direction of the decorative strip 1, with the positioning portion 12 located within the positioning groove 22. For example, the positioning portion 12 is formed on one side of the decorative strip 1 in the width direction, and the positioning groove 22 is formed on the side of the sealing strip 2 facing the positioning portion 12 in the width direction of the decorative strip 1. In another embodiment, the positioning portions 12 are formed on both sides of the decorative strip 1 in the width direction, and the positioning grooves 22 are formed on both sides of the sealing strip 2 in the width direction of the decorative strip 1. For example, the positioning groove 22 opens toward the positioning portion 12, and the positioning portion 12 enters the positioning groove 22 through the opening. On the one hand, the groove wall surface of the positioning groove 22 in the top-bottom direction can restrict the positioning element, thereby reducing the probability of the sealing strip 2 collapsing toward the receiving space 11, allowing the sealing strip 2 to better fit closer to the decorative strip 1. On the other hand, the positioning part 12 has a good force-bearing capacity, and the sealing strip 2 has a good elastic deformation capacity. The positioning groove 22 is formed on the sealing strip 2. During the assembly process, the elastic deformation of the sealing strip 2 can be used to enable the positioning part 12 to quickly enter the positioning groove 22. During use, the positioning part 12 can provide good support for the sealing strip 2.

[0054] It is understood that the width, length, and height directions of the decorative strip 1 are perpendicular to each other, forming a three-dimensional vertical coordinate system. In this embodiment, unless otherwise stated, the width, length, and height directions are all referenced to the decorative strip 1.

[0055] As an example, in one embodiment, please refer to Figure 10 The decorative strip 1 has a mounting groove 13 that opens toward the sealing strip 2. The mounting groove 13 has a positioning part 12 on its groove wall surface along the width direction. Part of the sealing strip 2 enters the mounting groove 13 through the opening of the mounting groove 13.

[0056] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The positioning groove 22 extends along the length of the sealing strip 2 and penetrates the first and last sides 2a of the sealing strip 2. The positioning part 12 extends along the length of the decorative strip 1 and extends to the first and last sides 1a of the decorative strip 1. In this way, the positioning part 12 provides support for each part of the sealing strip 2 along its length, so that each part of the sealing strip 2 along its length can be close to the decorative strip 1.

[0057] As an example, in one embodiment, please refer to Figures 3 to 6The limiting member 3 has a hook 31, and the sealing strip 2 has a limiting notch 21. The hook 31 extends into the limiting notch 21 and abuts against the tail side 21a of the limiting notch 21. Specifically, the hook 31 abuts against the tail side 21a of the limiting notch 21 to tighten the sealing strip 2, so that the tail side 2a of the sealing strip 2 is coplanar with the tail side 1a of the decorative strip 1. During assembly, the first end of the sealing strip 2 can be connected to the side window frame 4 first, and then the sealing strip 2 can be pressed down so that the sealing strip 2 is close to the decorative strip 1 and the positioning part 12 enters the positioning groove 22. Then, the hook 31 is inserted into the limiting notch 21, and the hook 31 applies a pulling force towards the tail side 21a of the limiting notch 21 to tighten the sealing strip 2, so that the tail side 2a of the sealing strip 2 is coplanar with the tail side 1a of the decorative strip 1. This design allows for a visual effect where the rear side 2a of the sealing strip 2 is flush with the rear side 1a of the decorative strip 1 within a limited space through a simple structural design, thereby solving the appearance and wind noise defects of the rear ends of the sealing strip 2 and the decorative strip 1 in the vehicle.

[0058] The type of vehicle is not limited; for example, vehicles include, but are not limited to, gasoline-powered vehicles, electric vehicles, or hybrid vehicles.

[0059] The material of the limiting member 3 is not limited. For example, the limiting member 3 can be made of a hard material. For example, the material of the limiting member 3 includes, but is not limited to, stainless steel.

[0060] For example, the limiting notch 21 is located near the tail end of the sealing strip 2. See also: [example of embodiment]. Figure 4 The distance L1 between the tail side 21a of the limiting notch 21 and the tail side 2a of the sealing strip 2 is no greater than 100mm. For example, the distance L1 between the tail side 21a of the limiting notch 21 and the tail side 2a of the sealing strip 2 can be 100mm, 90mm, 80mm, 70mm, or 50mm, etc. It is understood that the distance between the tail side 21a of the limiting notch 21 and the tail side 2a of the sealing strip 2 is greater than 0mm. The limiting notch 21 is located near the tail end of the sealing strip 2 to better control the tail side 2a of the sealing strip 2, ensuring that the portion of the sealing strip 2 along its length is essentially taut.

[0061] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 4 to 6 A limiting notch 21 is formed on the top side of the sealing strip 2, and a portion of the limiting member 3 is located between the decorative strip 1 and the sealing strip 2. The other portion of the limiting member 3 forms a hook 31. For example, with a plane perpendicular to the width direction as the projection plane, the projection of the limiting notch 21 is approximately a U-shape opening towards the top. On one hand, the hook 31 is easily inserted into the limiting notch 21 from the top side, making operation simple. On the other hand, the limiting member 3 can be hidden between the decorative strip 1 and the sealing strip 2, limiting its exposure and making the appearance of the decorative strip assembly more aesthetically pleasing.

[0062] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 3 to 6 The sealing strip 2 has a guide surface 2b on its side facing the decorative strip 1. The height of the part where the guide surface 2b connects to the tail side surface 21a of the limiting notch 21 is lower than the height of the part of the guide surface 2b away from the limiting notch 21. Taking the limiting notch 21 being formed on the top side of the sealing strip 2 as an example, the guide surface 2b is formed on the top side surface of the sealing strip 2. The hook 31 can slide into the limiting notch 21 under the guidance of the guide surface 2b. For example, during assembly, the hook 31 first abuts against the guide surface 2b, and the operator pulls the sealing strip 2 towards the tail end. The hook 31 slides into the limiting notch 21 under the guidance of the guide surface 2b, which can improve work efficiency.

[0063] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 4 to 6 The limiting member 3, located between the decorative strip 1 and the sealing strip 2, is a plate-like structure 32. The thickness T1 of the plate-like structure 32 along the top and bottom direction is 0.4mm to 1.5mm. For example, the thickness T1 of the plate-like structure 32 along the top and bottom direction can be 0.4mm, 0.5mm, 0.7mm, 1.0mm, 1.1mm, 1.2mm, or 1.5mm, etc. If the thickness T1 of the plate-like structure 32 along the top and bottom direction is less than 0.4mm, the structural strength of the plate-like structure 32 is poor. If the thickness T1 of the plate-like structure 32 along the top and bottom direction is greater than 1.5mm, the plate-like structure 32 can easily cause an excessive gap between the decorative strip 1 and the sealing strip 2 along the top and bottom direction. When the thickness T1 of the plate-like structure 32 along the top and bottom direction is 0.4mm to 1.5mm, the structural strength of the plate-like structure 32 is moderate and basically does not affect the sealing fit between the sealing strip 2 and the decorative strip 1.

[0064] As an example, in one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The hook 31 is connected to the first end of the plate-like structure 32. Taking the plane perpendicular to the width direction of the decorative strip 1 as the projection plane, the projection shapes of both the hook 31 and the plate-like structure 32 are L-shaped. The limiting member 3 has a simple structure, is easy to form, and has low cost.

[0065] In one embodiment, the tail side of the portion of the limiting member 3 located between the decorative strip 1 and the sealing strip 2 does not protrude beyond the tail side 1a of the decorative strip 1. For example, the tail side 32a of the plate-like structure 32 does not protrude beyond the tail side 1a of the decorative strip 1. For instance, the length of the plate-like structure 32 is no greater than 100 mm. This makes the decorative strip assembly more aesthetically pleasing.

[0066] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 6The thickness T2 of the hook 31 along the head-to-tail direction is 0.4mm to 1.5mm. For example, the thickness T2 of the hook 31 along the head-to-tail direction is 0.4mm, 0.5mm, 0.7mm, 1.0mm, 1.1mm, 1.2mm, or 1.5mm, etc. In this way, the structural strength of the hook 31 is moderate, and the size of the limiting notch 21 along the head-to-tail range is small.

[0067] In one embodiment, the limiting member 3 is fixedly connected to the decorative strip 1. Exemplarily, the limiting member 3 and the decorative strip 1 are bonded together with adhesive. This ensures a reliable fixed connection between the limiting member 3 and the decorative strip 1.

[0068] In other embodiments, the limiting member 3 may be integrally formed with the decorative strip 1.

[0069] In one embodiment, the tail side of the portion of the limiting member 3 located between the decorative strip 1 and the sealing strip 2 is coplanar with the tail side 1a of the decorative strip 1. Exemplarily, the tail side 32a of the plate-like structure 32 is flush with the tail side 1a of the decorative strip 1. Exemplarily, during the assembly of the limiting member 3 to the decorative piece, the tail side of the portion of the limiting member 3 located between the decorative strip 1 and the sealing strip 2 can be flush with the tail side 1a of the decorative strip 1 before the limiting member 3 is fixed to the decorative strip 1. This facilitates the quick positioning of the limiting member 3 to the installation position, effectively improving assembly efficiency and aesthetics.

[0070] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 The distance L2 between the bottom side 21b of the limiting notch 21 and the bottom side 31a of the hook 31 is not less than 0. This facilitates the hook 31 entering the limiting notch 21.

[0071] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 The distance L3 between the tail side 21a and the head side 21c of the limiting notch 21 is not less than the thickness T2 of the hook 31 along the head-to-tail direction. This facilitates the hook 31 entering the limiting notch 21.

[0072] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 The distance L4 between the top side 32b of the plate structure 32 and the top side 2c of the sealing strip 2 is not less than the thickness T1 of the plate structure 32 along the top and bottom direction. This facilitates the hook 31 to enter the limiting notch 21.
