[0014] The shield is located outside the inner panel of the window frame and is connected to the inner panel of the window frame. The inner sides of the first corner and the second corner are respectively provided with fifth limiting bodies, and the inner sides of the fifth limiting bodies are supported by the window frame.

[0015] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the groove includes a groove mounting part and a groove outer sealing part disposed outside the groove mounting part; the groove mounting part is snapped into the mounting groove, and the side of the groove mounting part facing the window frame that is left open is in sealed contact with the edge of the window glass;

[0016] A sealing groove is formed between the outer sealing part of the groove and the mounting part of the groove. The edge of the outer panel of the window frame extends into the sealing groove, and the outer sealing part of the groove and the mounting part of the groove cooperate to clamp the outer panel of the window frame.

[0017] In some embodiments, the mounting portion of the groove has a supporting rib protruding on the side facing the sealing groove, and the supporting rib cooperates with the outer sealing portion of the groove to clamp the outer panel of the window frame.

[0018] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the groove includes a front groove section, a rear groove section, and an upper connecting corner. The rear end of the front groove section and the upper end of the rear groove section are integrally connected through the upper connecting corner. The front end of the front groove section is integrally connected to the front lower connecting corner, and the lower end of the rear groove section is integrally connected to the rear lower connecting corner.

[0019] The mounting groove includes a front groove section that engages with the front felt groove section and a rear groove section that engages with the rear felt groove section.

[0020] In some embodiments, the rear end of the front groove section and the upper end of the rear groove section are spaced apart to form a clearance space, and the upper connecting angle corresponds to the clearance space;

[0021] The upper corner is provided with a top limiting member at its front, which corresponds to the rear end face of the front groove section; the upper corner is provided with a lower limiting member at its lower part, which corresponds to the upper end face of the rear groove section.

[0060] In the claims, description and accompanying drawings of this invention, the terms "comprising," "having," and variations thereof are used to mean "including but not limited to."

[0061] In the claims, description and drawings of this invention, if the term "bonding connection" is used, its implementation includes, but is not limited to, bonding welding, bonding and then connecting by threaded connectors.

[0062] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2The present invention will now describe the window sealing structure assembly provided. The window sealing structure assembly includes a window frame 1, and also includes a groove 2, a rear lower joint 3, a water cutter 4, and a front lower joint 5 that are sequentially and integrally connected in a ring. The water cutter 4 is located below the groove 2. An installation groove 102 is formed on the edge of the window frame opening 101 on the window frame 1, which is corresponding to the groove 2 and engages with it. The opening of the installation groove 102 faces the window frame opening 101, and the installation groove 102 is located inside the outer panel 120 of the window frame 1. The groove 2 is tightly fitted to the outer surface of the window frame 1. The water cutter 4 is connected to the lower edge of the window frame opening 101.

[0063] In this embodiment, the window frame 1 includes an inner window frame panel 110, an outer window frame panel 120 disposed on the outside of the inner window frame panel 110, and a guide rail disposed between the inner window frame panel 110 and the outer window frame panel 120. The guide rail is respectively fitted and connected to the inner window frame panel 110 and the outer window frame panel 120, forming an installation groove 102.

[0064] The window sealing structure assembly of this embodiment is applicable to both the front and rear doors, and no displacement limitation is imposed here. Figure 1 and Figure 2 An example is shown of a window sealing structure assembly located on the left side of the vehicle body and belonging to the front door, that is, the front part of the groove 2 corresponds to the inclined A-pillar, and the rear part corresponds to the vertically extending B-pillar; the window sealing structure assemblies on the left and right sides are symmetrically arranged along the front and rear central axis of the vehicle body, and their structure will not be described in detail here.

[0065] In this embodiment, the integral connection methods between the groove 2 and the rear lower joint 3, between the rear lower joint 3 and the water cutter 1, between the water cutter 1 and the front lower joint 5, and between the front lower joint 5 and the groove 2 include, but are not limited to, vulcanization bonding and secondary injection molding. Taking vulcanization bonding as an example, the groove 2, the rear lower joint 3, the water cutter 4, and the front lower joint 5 are formed separately, and then vulcanization bonding is performed.

[0066] Compared with the prior art, the window sealing structure assembly provided in this embodiment adapts the front lower corner 5 and the rear lower corner 3 to the groove 2 and the water cutter 4 respectively, so as to facilitate the integrated connection of the groove 2 and the water cutter 4. The groove 2, the front lower corner 5, the water cutter 4 and the rear lower corner 3 can be pre-connected into a ring-shaped integrated sealing structure, and then this integrated sealing structure is connected to the mounting groove 102 and the lower edge of the window frame opening 101 respectively. The advantages of this setting are: 1) The groove 2 and the rear lower corner 3, the rear lower corner 3 and the water cutter 1, the water cutter 1 and the front lower corner 5, and the front lower corner 5 and the groove 2 are all integrated, without splicing seams, which can effectively improve the problem of airflow at splicing seams, reduce the channels of internal and external airflow at the sealing structure around the window frame opening 101, and help improve the NVH performance of the vehicle; 2) The assembly process does not require the individual installation of the groove, water cutter and other parts, reducing the number of parts during assembly, which can effectively reduce 3) Since there are no splicing seams between the groove 2 and the rear lower corner 3, between the rear lower corner 3 and the water cutter 1, between the water cutter 1 and the front lower corner 5, and between the front lower corner 5 and the groove 2, it can effectively avoid problems such as surface differences or excessive gaps between the groove 2 and the rear lower corner 3, between the rear lower corner 3 and the water cutter 1, between the water cutter 1 and the front lower corner 5, and between the front lower corner 5 and the groove 2 caused by manufacturing and assembly errors, thus ensuring the flatness and aesthetics of the integrated sealing structure.

[0067] In some embodiments, a rear corner joint 3 is provided with a rear corner joint groove 301, which engages with the edge of the outer panel 120 of the window frame, such as... Figure 16 As shown. In this embodiment, the inner and outer side walls of the rear corner groove 301 clamp the outer panel 120 of the window frame, thereby achieving reliable positioning of the rear lower corner 3. This ensures that the rear lower corner 3 can provide a reliable clamping force on the window glass 11, ensuring that the window glass has a stable lifting trajectory. Simultaneously, it also works with the window glass 11 to provide an effective seal. More specifically, to further improve the reliability of the clamping action, the outer side wall of the rear corner groove 301 is provided with a rear corner support rib 302. The rear corner support rib 302 cooperates with the inner side wall of the rear corner groove 301 to clamp the outer panel 120 of the window frame.

[0068] In some embodiments, the aforementioned front under-angle 5 can be adopted as follows: Figures 3 to 9The structure shown includes a front lower connecting angle 5 comprising a first connecting angle portion 510 and a second connecting angle portion 520 arranged at an angle. The first connecting angle portion 510 and the second connecting angle portion 520 are integrally connected, with the second connecting angle portion 520 located below the first connecting angle portion 510. The first connecting angle portion 510 is integrally connected to the front end of the felt groove 2, and the second connecting angle portion 520 is integrally connected to the front end of the water cutter 4. To ensure accurate connection with the felt groove 2 and the water cutter 4, the first connecting angle portion 510 extends in the same direction as the felt groove 2, and the second connecting angle portion 520 extends in the same direction as the water cutter 4. The angle between the first connecting angle portion 510 and the second connecting angle portion 520 is no greater than 90°. This embodiment exemplarily illustrates a usage scenario suitable for the front door, therefore the first connecting angle portion 510 is tilted backward, and the angle between the first connecting angle portion 510 and the second connecting angle portion 520 is an acute angle. In addition, the cross-section of the first corner portion 510 is basically consistent with the groove 2 to ensure effective connection with the groove 2. Similarly, the cross-section of the second corner portion 520 is basically consistent with the water cutter 4 to ensure effective connection with the water cutter 4.

[0069] Based on this, a deformable third limiting body 530 is provided on the side of the first corner portion 510 away from the window frame opening 101. The third limiting body 530 is supported on the window frame 1 (specifically the inner panel 110 of the window frame) on the side away from the first corner portion 510. A fourth limiting body 540 is provided on the side of the second corner portion 520 away from the window frame opening 101. A grooved bracket 6 is provided on the window frame 1. The grooved bracket 6 is located on the side of the fourth limiting body 540 away from the second corner portion 520. The fourth limiting body 540 is supported on the grooved bracket 6. The functions of the third limiting body 530 and the fourth limiting body 540 are as follows: 1) The third limiting body 530 provides support to the first corner portion 510 in a direction approximately parallel to the front-back direction, and the fourth limiting body 540 provides support to the second corner portion 520 in a direction approximately parallel to the up-down direction, ensuring that the front lower corner 5 is in the preset position of the window frame 1 on a plane perpendicular to the inside-outside direction; 2) Since the third limiting body 530 is deformable, it can absorb assembly tolerances in the front-back direction to a certain extent, improving assembly efficiency. It should be noted that if the first corner portion 510 is tilted backward, the support direction of the third limiting body 530 is also tilted. In this case, the deformation of the third limiting body 530 can not only absorb the front-back assembly tolerances but also absorb the assembly tolerances in the up-down direction to a certain extent. It should also be noted that the deformation of the third limiting body 530 can be irreversible plastic deformation or recoverable elastic deformation.

[0070] The specific implementation examples of the third limiting body 530 mentioned above are as follows: 1) The third limiting body 530 is a weakened sheet-like structure, which has a certain elastic deformation capability, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown; 2) The third limiting body 530 is an elastic block structure with a certain elastic deformation capability. Other embodiments will not be listed here.

[0071] Based on the above embodiments, see Figure 2 To improve the ease of assembly of the groove bracket 6 and provide stable support, the window frame 1 also includes a rearview mirror reinforcing plate 130 located between the inner window frame plate 110 and the outer window frame plate 120. The groove bracket 6 is connected to the rearview mirror reinforcing plate 130. The groove bracket 6 includes a support plate and two support flanges, which are located on both sides of the support plate and connected to the rearview mirror reinforcing plate 130. The groove bracket 6 is shaped like a "Z" and has high structural strength and a compact size.

[0072] Based on the above embodiments, see Figure 3 The first corner portion 510 has detection points 7 on the side opposite to the window frame gap 101 and on the outer side of the fourth limiting body 540, which can accurately control the size of the front lower corner 5 during the forming process and improve manufacturing precision. The detection point 7 refers to the planar pattern or texture formed on the substrate (e.g., the first corner portion 510).

[0073] In some embodiments, both the first corner portion 510 and the second corner portion 520 are provided with a front corner slot 503, such as Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the front corner bracket 503 engages with the edge of the outer window frame panel 120. In this embodiment, the inner and outer side walls of the front corner bracket 503 clamp the outer window frame panel 120, thereby achieving reliable positioning of the front lower corner 5, ensuring that the front lower corner 5 can provide a reliable clamping force on the window glass 11, ensuring that the window glass has a stable lifting trajectory, and also cooperating with the window glass 11 to achieve an effective sealing effect. More specifically, in order to further improve the reliability of the clamping effect, the outer side wall of the front corner bracket 503 is provided with a front corner support rib 504, which cooperates with the inner side wall of the front corner bracket 503 to clamp the outer window frame panel 120.

[0074] Based on the first corner portion 510 and the second corner portion 520, the front lower corner 5 also includes a support portion 550 supported between the first corner portion 510 and the second corner portion 520. The first corner portion 510, the second corner portion 520 and the support portion 550 together form a corner gap area 501. The window sealing structure assembly also includes a baffle plate 8, which covers the corner gap area 501. The baffle plate 8 is located on the outside of the inner panel 110 of the window frame 1. A connecting position is formed on the baffle plate 8, which is connected to the window frame 1 in the inward and outward directions. The inner sides of the first corner portion 510 and the second corner portion 520 are respectively provided with a fifth limiting body 560, and the inner side of the fifth limiting body 560 is supported on the window frame 1. In this embodiment, the shielding plate 8 is connected to at least the first corner portion 510 and the second corner portion 520; the support portion 550 is integrally connected to the first corner portion 510 and the second corner portion 520; the shielding plate 8 can be a transparent component or an opaque component, and the setting can be selectively made according to the decorative effect. This embodiment is mainly applicable to the setting method where the first corner portion 510 and the second corner portion 520 form an acute angle. The support portion 550 enhances the overall structural stability of the front lower corner 5; based on this, the shielding plate 8 plays a role in shielding and decorating the corner gap area 501. After the shielding plate 8 and the front lower corner 5 are assembled into one piece, the shielding plate 8 also needs to be connected to the inner panel 110 of the window frame to prevent the shielding plate 8 from falling off. After being connected to the window frame 1, the shielding plate 8 is subjected to an inward pulling force. In order to prevent the front lower corner 5 from collapsing inward, the fifth limiting body 560 supports the front lower corner 5 as a whole.

[0075] In specific implementation, in order to improve the uniformity of force distribution on the lower front corner 5, a fifth limiting body 560 is provided in the first corner portion 510, the second corner portion 520, and the intersection area of ​​the first corner portion 510 and the second corner portion 520, such as... Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown.

[0076] In some embodiments, in order to connect with the baffle plate 8, the first corner portion 510 and the second corner portion 520 form a plate slot 502 on the side facing the window frame opening 101, and the edge of the baffle plate 8 is engaged in the plate slot 502.

[0077] See Figures 1 to 4 , Figures 7 to 9In some embodiments, the rear edge of the shield 8 (the edge facing the support 550) is provided with a first engaging portion 810. The window sealing structure assembly also includes a decorative panel 9, which covers the gap between the shield 8 and the support 550 to enhance aesthetics. The inner side of the decorative panel 9 is provided with a second engaging portion 910 that engages and matches the first engaging portion 810. The first engaging portion 810 and the second engaging portion 910 cooperate to restrict the displacement of the decorative panel 9 in the inward and outward directions. More specifically, to enhance the decorative effect, the decorative panel 9 also covers the support 550.

[0078] In some embodiments, the connection point is a first mounting hole 801 formed in the baffle plate 8, such as Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, multiple first mounting holes 801 are provided, distributed along the vertical direction. Multiple second mounting holes corresponding to the first mounting holes 801 are provided on the inner panel 110 of the window frame. Fasteners (e.g., threaded fasteners) pass through the first mounting holes 801 and the second mounting holes to connect the baffle plate 8 and the inner panel 110 of the window frame. In a specific implementation, at least one of the second mounting holes is a round hole, while the remaining second mounting holes are oblong holes to absorb the assembly tolerances between the baffle plate 8 and the inner panel 110 of the window frame, ensuring the baffle plate 8 is properly installed under the vehicle.

[0079] In some embodiments, the aforementioned groove 2 can be adopted as follows: Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 15 The structure shown includes a groove 2 comprising a groove mounting portion 210 and a groove outer sealing portion 220 located outside the groove mounting portion 210. The groove mounting portion 210 is fitted into the mounting groove 102, and the side of the groove mounting portion 210 facing the window frame opening 101 makes sealing contact with the edge of the window glass 11. A sealing groove is formed between the groove outer sealing portion 220 and the groove mounting portion 210. The edge of the window frame outer panel 120 in the window frame 1 extends into the sealing groove, and the groove outer sealing portion 220 and the groove mounting portion 210 cooperate to clamp the window frame outer panel 120. The overall structure of the groove 2 is simple and compact. By clamping the window frame outer panel 120 through the sealing groove, the aesthetic appearance and sealing performance of the assembly are ensured. At the same time, it also helps to improve the overall positioning reliability of the groove 2 and avoid the groove 2 from shaking inside and outside. This ensures reliable guidance and sealing of the window glass 11.

[0080] In some specific embodiments of the mounting groove 102, a limiting protrusion 103 is formed on the side wall of the mounting groove 102, and a limiting slot 211 is provided on the side wall of the groove mounting part 210. The limiting slot 211 engages with the limiting protrusion 103 to limit the displacement of the groove mounting part 210 in the opening direction of the mounting groove 102, and to prevent the groove mounting part 210 from wobbling along the opening direction of the mounting groove 102. Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown.

[0081] In some embodiments, the mounting portion 210 of the groove has a supporting rib 212 protruding on the side facing the sealing groove. The supporting rib 212 cooperates with the outer sealing portion 220 of the groove to clamp the outer panel 120 of the window frame. The supporting rib 212 can reduce the contact area between the inner wall of the sealing groove and the outer panel 120 of the window frame, improve the reliability of the contact between the sealing groove and the outer panel 120 of the window frame, and on this basis, increase the clamping force on the outer panel 120 of the window frame, thereby improving the positional stability of the groove 2 on the window frame 1.

[0082] In some embodiments, the aforementioned groove 2 can be adopted as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figures 11 to 16 To reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the felt groove 2, the structure shown includes a front felt groove section 201, a rear felt groove section 202, and an upper connecting corner 203. The rear end of the front felt groove section 201 and the upper end of the rear felt groove section 202 are integrally connected by the upper connecting corner 203. The front end of the front felt groove section 201 is integrally connected to the front lower connecting corner 5, and the lower end of the rear felt groove section 202 is integrally connected to the rear lower connecting corner 3. The mounting groove 101 includes a front groove section 1022 that is correspondingly engaged with the front felt groove section 201, and a rear groove section 1023 that is correspondingly engaged with the rear felt groove section 202. The front felt groove section 201 corresponds to the upper and front edges of the window frame opening 101, and the rear felt groove section 202 corresponds to the rear edge of the window frame opening 101. Based on this, the guide rail includes a front guide rail 140 and a rear guide rail 150. The front guide rail 140 forms a front groove section 1022, and the rear guide rail 150 forms a rear groove section 1023. It should be understood that the front groove section 201, the rear groove section 202, and the upper connecting corner 203 all include the aforementioned groove mounting part 210 and groove outer sealing part 220, that is, the main bodies of the front groove section 201, the rear groove section 202, and the upper connecting corner 203 have the same cross-section.

[0083] In some embodiments, to improve the stability of the rear guide rail 150, a rear guide rail bracket 160 is also provided between the rear side of the rear guide rail 150 and the inner panel 120 of the window frame, such as... Figure 2 As shown.

[0084] Based on the above embodiments, see Figure 11 and Figure 12The mounting section 210 includes a mounting body 213, a first main body lip 214, and a second main body lip 215. The mounting body 213 is fitted into the mounting groove 102 and forms a main body groove 216 facing the window frame opening 101. Two first main body lips 214 are provided, located on the inner and outer sides of the mounting body 213 respectively, extending in opposite directions to the opening direction of the main body groove 216. The first main body lips 214 can contact the window glass 11. The second main body lip 215 is located on the side wall of the main body groove 216 opposite to the window frame opening 101, and can contact the edge of the window glass 11, preventing direct collision with the mounting body 213. The two first main body lips 214 can be separately provided, or their extended ends can be integrally connected, forming a recessed structure adapted to the window glass 11 on the side of the mounting section 210 facing the window frame opening 101.

[0085] See Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 15 In some embodiments, an inner mounting portion 230 is formed on the inner side of the felt groove mounting portion 210, and the inner mounting portion 230 has an inner locking groove 231 that engages with the edge of the window frame trim panel 12. In this embodiment, the front felt groove section 201, the rear felt groove section 202, and the upper corner 203 all include the felt groove mounting portion 210, the felt groove outer sealing portion 220, and the felt groove mounting portion 210, that is, the main bodies of the front felt groove section 201, the rear felt groove section 202, and the upper corner 203 have the same cross-section.

[0086] Based on the groove 2, which includes the front groove section 201, the rear groove section 202, and the upper connecting corner 203, see [link / reference]. Figure 13 The rear end of the front groove section 1022 and the upper end of the rear groove section 1023 form a clearance space, and the upper connecting corner 203 corresponds to the clearance space. The front part of the upper connecting corner 203 is provided with a top limiting member 2031, which corresponds to the rear end face of the front groove section 1022. The lower part of the upper connecting corner 203 is provided with a lower limiting member 2032, which corresponds to the upper end face of the rear groove section 1023. The groove mounting part 210 of the upper connecting corner 203 does not engage with the mounting groove 102. After the groove mounting part 210 engages with the mounting groove 102, the rear groove section 202 is pulled down along the rear guide rail 150, so that the lower limiting member 2032 fits against the upper end face of the rear groove section 1023. At this time, there is a certain gap between the top limiting member 2031 and the rear end face of the front groove section 1022. The gap between the top limiting member 2031 and the front groove section 1022 can absorb assembly tolerances. At the same time, the fit between the lower limiting member 2032 and the rear groove section 1023 also limits the position of the upper connecting angle 203 in the vertical direction, ensuring the accuracy of the position of the upper connecting angle 203 relative to the whole vehicle after assembly, and ensuring the appearance of the whole vehicle.

[0087] In this embodiment, the top limiting member 2031 can be disposed on the upper side of the upper corner 203 (e.g., Figure 13 and 14 As shown), it can also be set on the inner or outer side of the upper corner 203, as long as the above positioning effect can be achieved; similarly, the lower limiting member 2032 can be set on the rear side of the lower part of the upper corner 203 (as shown). Figure 13 and 14 As shown in the figure, it can also be set on the inner or outer side of the upper corner 203, as long as the above positioning effect can be achieved.

[0088] In some embodiments, detection points 7 are formed on the outer sides of the top limiting member 2031 and the lower limiting member 2032, respectively, and detection points 7 are also formed on the upper side and the rear side of the upper corner 203. This allows for accurate control of the size of the upper corner 203 during the forming process, thereby improving the dimensional accuracy of the upper corner 203, the front felt groove section 201, and the rear felt groove section 202.

[0089] Based on the above embodiments, see Figures 13 to 15 A first limiting body 2033 is provided on the inner side of the upper corner 203; a second limiting body 2034 is provided at the corner of the upper corner 203, and the second limiting body 2034 extends in the direction away from the window frame gap 101; the inner side of the first limiting body 2033 and the side of the second limiting body 2034 away from the upper corner 203 are respectively supported on the window frame 1 (specifically the inner panel 110 of the window frame). The first limiting body 2033 provides outward support to the upper corner 203 to prevent the upper corner 203 from collapsing inward; the second limiting body 2034 supports the upper corner 203 in a direction perpendicular to the inward and outward directions to ensure the stability of the position of the upper corner 203.

[0090] In some embodiments, the water cutter 4 described above can be employed as follows: Figure 10 The structure shown includes a water-cutting device 4, comprising a water-cutting mounting portion 410 and a water-cutting sealing lip 420 connected to the water-cutting mounting portion 410. The water-cutting mounting portion 410 forms a downward-opening water-cutting groove 411, which engages with the edge of the outer panel 120 of the window frame 1. The water-cutting sealing lip 420 abuts against the window glass 11. The water-cutting mounting portion 410 can be directly engaged with the edge of the outer panel 120 of the window frame, making installation convenient and providing a good sealing effect. In this embodiment, the water-cutting device 4 is an external water-cutting device, such as... Figure 10 As shown, the water cutter 4 cooperates with the inner water cutter 13 installed on the inner panel 110 of the window frame to provide a stable clamping force on the inner and outer sides of the window glass 11 in order to control the lifting trajectory of the window glass 11.

[0091] Based on the above embodiments, in order to further improve the stability of the water-cutter 4 positioned on the outer panel 120 of the window frame, a water-cutter frame 430 is embedded in the water-cutter mounting part 410 to increase the clamping force of the water-cutter mounting part 410 on the outer panel 120 of the window frame. The water-cutter frame 430 can be implemented in ways including, but not limited to, a U-shaped aluminum strip (such as...). Figure 10 The structure shown is shown in the figure. Other implementation methods will not be listed here.

[0092] Based on the specific structure of the water cutter 4 described above, in order to effectively connect with the water cutter 4, the end of the second corner portion 520 adjacent to the water cutter 4 has a structure similar to that of the water cutter mounting portion 410, such as... Figures 7 to 9 As shown. Based on this, the adhesive material at the end of the second corner portion 520 adjacent to the water-cut 4 can be thinned compared to the main body of the second corner portion 520, so that the end of the second corner portion 520 adjacent to the water-cut 4 has a certain deformation capacity and can absorb assembly tolerances. More specifically, the end of the second corner portion 520 adjacent to the water-cut 4 is located on the outside of the support portion 550 and forms a gap with the support portion 550. The lower end of the decorative strip 9 is inserted into the gap so as to clamp the decorative strip 9 from the inside and outside through the gap position, thereby improving the assembly stability of the decorative strip 9.

[0094] Compared with the prior art, the vehicle provided in this embodiment can effectively reduce the airflow around the window frame by adopting the above-mentioned window sealing structure assembly, improve the vehicle's NVH performance, reduce the difficulty of bill of materials management and assembly, and at the same time ensure the aesthetics of the window frame structure with 101 circumferences open.

[0095] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
