Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of sealing, and in particular relates to a sealing device. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of new energy vehicles and intelligent driving performance, the demand for multifunctional automobile mounting covers is becoming more and more diverse. The lightweight mounting cover system and the matching structure and sealing performance of the mounting cover and components have become new research directions.

[0003] The sealing structure of the mounting cover assembly in the prior art is relatively complex, such as Figure 7 As shown, the existing installation cover assembly includes a cover body A, a skylight B (glass material) and a sealing mechanism C (plastic material) between the cover body A and the skylight B, wherein the sealing mechanism C includes a sealing frame C1 (installed on the skylight B), a first sealing member C2 (used to seal the cover body A and the skylight B), a second sealing member C3 (used to connect the first sealing member C2 and the water channel C5), a fixing member C4 (bolts and nuts, used to connect the water channel C and the cover body A), the water channel C5 and the third sealing member C6 (used to connect the water channel C and the sealing frame C1), see for details. Figure 7 The first seal C2 is a sealing strip that is adhered to the cover body A around its circumference and forms an interference fit with the sealing surface of the sealing frame C1. The second and third seals C3 and C6 are both indirect seals, resulting in less than ideal sealing effects. Therefore, a water trough C5 is designed to drain water leaking from the first seal C2. Consequently, the existing cover's sealing structure requires high component matching and installation precision, resulting in high component cost and heavy weight. Summary of the Invention

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, a sealing device according to certain embodiments of the present invention includes a mounting cover 10, a reinforcing plate 21 and a sealing plate 20; The mounting plate is provided with a groove, and a sealing platform is provided in the groove, and the sealing platform includes a first sealing surface 11, a sealing boss 12 connected to the first sealing surface 11, a mounting surface 13 connected to the sealing boss 12, and a second sealing surface 14 connected to the mounting surface 13; The reinforcing plate 21 is installed in the middle of the sealing plate 20. The outer edge of the sealing plate 20 is sealed with the first sealing surface 11. The reinforcing plate 21 is sealed with the sealing boss 12 and the second sealing surface 14 respectively. The reinforcing plate 21 is also fixedly connected to the mounting surface 13. This embodiment realizes a triple sealing connection between the mounting plate and the sealing plate 20 through the combination arrangement of the sealing platform, the sealing plate 20 and the reinforcing plate 21 on the mounting plate, and the cooperation between the three in pairs. On the one hand, the triple sealing connection between the mounting plate and the sealing plate 20 is realized (the first sealing: the outer edge of the sealing plate 20 is sealed with the first sealing surface 11, the second sealing: the sealing connection between the reinforcing plate 21 and the sealing boss 12, the third sealing: the sealing connection between the reinforcing plate 21 and the second sealing surface 14). On the other hand, the outer edge of the sealing plate 20 is sealed with the first sealing surface 11 to seal and prevent dust, the sealing connection between the reinforcing plate 21 and the sealing boss 12 is moisture-proof and water-proof, and the sealing connection between the reinforcing plate 21 and the second sealing surface 14 is moisture-proof and reduces friction and abnormal noise.

[0023] In certain embodiments of the present invention, the mounting plate is exemplarily a car roof, and the corresponding sealing device is a car roof sealing assembly; To this end, the sealing plate 20 and the reinforcing plate 21 are made of lightweight materials. For example, the sealing plate 20 and the reinforcing plate 21 are both injection-molded parts with low material density, light weight and stable performance. Compared with traditional top cover glass components, they are 30% lighter.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the outer edge of the sealing plate 20 is sealed to the first sealing surface 11 via a first sealing ring 22; The first sealing ring 22 is sleeved on the circumference of the reinforcing plate 21 to connect the sealing plate 20 and the reinforcing plate 21 .

[0025] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first sealing ring 22 is interference-fitted with the first sealing surface 11, and the first sealing surface 11 follows the trajectory of the first sealing ring 22, and the circumferential width thereof is uniform and consistent with the interference fit size of the first sealing ring 22; Here, the circumferential interference fit structure of the first sealing ring 22 forces the reinforcing plate 21 and the sealing plate 20 to deform, further improving the sealing performance; The sealing here is the first level of sealing between the mounting plate and the sealing plate 20 .

[0026] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first sealing ring 22 is a rubber ring, which is an integrated annular structure (such as Figure 5 As shown), the first sealing ring 22 adopts a rubber ring with a two-layer sealing structure, and the two-layer sealing structure can seal the width of the path.

[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the reinforcing plate 21 is provided with a reinforcing platform 211, a first mounting platform 212, a second mounting platform 213 and a third mounting platform 214 connected in sequence; The reinforcing platform 211 is arranged in the middle position of the reinforcing plate 21 , the first mounting platform 212 is arranged around the reinforcing platform 211 , the second mounting platform 213 is located around the first mounting platform 212 , and the third mounting platform 214 is located around the second mounting platform 213 .

[0028] In some embodiments of the present invention, a third sealing ring 24 is provided on the third mounting platform 214. The third sealing ring 24 is interference-fitted with the sealing boss 12, which serves as a second seal between the mounting plate and the sealing plate 20. The setting of the sealing boss 12 prevents water that penetrates the sealing connection between the outer edge of the sealing plate 20 and the first sealing surface 11 from further entering the inner side of the sealing boss, and the interference fit between the sealing boss 12 and the third sealing ring 24 plays a role in moisture-proof and water-proofing.

[0029] In some embodiments of the present invention, the third sealing ring 24 is fixedly connected to the third mounting platform 214 via a connecting glue 26 .

[0030] In some embodiments of the present invention, the third sealing ring 24 is an integrated annular structure, and its material is a sponge strip.

[0031] In some embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of bolts 25 are embedded in the second mounting platform; The second mounting platform 213 and the mounting surface 13 are fixedly connected by the cooperation of the bolts 25 and the nuts.

[0032] In some embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of mounting holes are provided on the mounting surface 13 , and the mounting holes match the bolts 25 .

[0033] In some embodiments of the present invention, the bolt 25 is an M6 bolt 25, and the mounting hole diameter is (6.5 mm and waist hole 8.5*6.5 mm); For example, the number of the mounting holes is 8.

[0034] In some embodiments of the present invention, the reinforcing platform 211 cooperates with the bottom surface of the sealing plate 20, and a connecting glue 26 is provided on the outer edge of the peripheral side of the reinforcing platform 211, and the reinforcing platform 211 and the sealing plate 20 are fixedly connected by the connecting glue 26; In this embodiment, the connection between the third mounting platform 214 and the third sealing ring 24, as well as the connection between the reinforcing platform 211 and the sealing plate 20 are both provided with connecting glue 26. That is, in this embodiment, the number of the connecting glue 26 is 2. Figure 4 .

[0035] In some embodiments of the present invention, a second sealing ring 23 is provided on the first mounting platform 212; The second sealing ring 23 is interference fit with the second sealing surface 14. The seal here is the third seal of the mounting plate and the sealing plate 20. It further prevents water from penetrating from the first and second seals into the inner side of the sealing platform, further preventing moisture and reducing friction noise.

[0036] In some embodiments of the present invention, the second sealing ring 23 is an integrated annular structure, and its material is a sponge strip.

[0037] In certain embodiments of the present invention, the assembly process of the mounting plate and the sealing plate 20 is as follows: First, assemble the sealing plate 20 and the reinforcing plate 21; Next, select several mounting holes on the mounting surface 13 as positioning holes, align the pre-buried bolts 25 with the mounting holes, and insert them so that the second mounting platform on the reinforcing plate 21 is aligned with the mounting surface 13 to achieve positioning; Finally, assemble the bolts 25 and nuts and tighten them (the order of the bolts 25 is, for example, to install and tighten the diagonal nuts first, and then install the other 6 nuts in sequence) to ensure that the mounting surface 13 is in contact and the sealing structure is sealed intact.

[0038] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein; and these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
