Side trim assembly and window glass assembly

Abstract

This application relates to a side skirt trim assembly and a vehicle window glass assembly. The side skirt trim assembly includes a trim body, a water deflector, a first fixing structure, and a second fixing structure. The water deflector is used to abut and seal between the trim body and the vehicle body sheet metal. The first fixing structure connects the lower end of the water deflector and the upper end of the trim body. The second fixing structure connects the water deflector and the trim body and is used to limit the displacement of the water deflector along its length. The second fixing structure is disposed on the first fixing structure or on the side of the trim body that is closer to the exterior of the vehicle than the first fixing structure. In this embodiment, the side skirt trim assembly facilitates a consistent outward deformation of the water deflector after installation, thereby improving the appearance performance.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of side trim technology, and in particular to side trim assemblies and window glass components. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, such as Figure 1 As shown, during the assembly process of the side trim strip, a water deflector 102 needs to be installed between the trim strip 101 and the body sheet metal to ensure the sealing performance between the trim strip 101 and the body sheet metal. Specifically, the water deflector 102 itself will be assembled and connected to the assembly structure on the trim strip 101, and adhesive will be applied in a small gap between the trim strip 101 and the water deflector 102 in the assembly structure. The adhesive application position 103 is on the side closer to the interior of the vehicle between the upper surface of the trim strip 101 and the lower surface of the water deflector 102, and the adhesive application length is a small section inward from the C-pillar end to prevent the water deflector 102 from moving in the length direction, thereby improving the assembly stability of the water deflector.

[0003] However, this installation method has the following problems in actual vehicle installation: After installation, the water deflector 102 is subjected to bidirectional compression from the trim strip 101 and the sheet metal, causing the upper end of the water deflector 102 to deform outwards. Because the adhesive at the sealant application point 103 fixes the lower end of the water deflector 102 on the side closer to the vehicle interior, the outward deformation at the sealant application point 103 is smaller than that at the unsealed area. As a result, after installation, the water deflector 102 appears noticeably concave at the sealant application point 103 and convex at the unsealed area, failing to maintain a consistent outward deformation and affecting the appearance quality of the side trim strip. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a side trim assembly and a window glass component to address the issue of how to ensure that the water deflector maintains a consistent outward deformation after installation in order to improve the appearance performance of the trim assembly.

[0005] On one hand, this application provides a side trim assembly, including:

[0006] The decorative strip itself;

[0007] A water-blocking strip, which is used to abut and seal between the trim strip body and the vehicle body sheet metal;

[0008] A first fixing structure and a second fixing structure are provided. The first fixing structure is connected between the lower end of the water deflector and the upper end of the trim body. The second fixing structure is connected between the water deflector and the trim body and is used to limit the displacement of the water deflector along its length. The second fixing structure is disposed on the first fixing structure or disposed on the trim body on the side closer to the outside of the vehicle than the first fixing structure.

[0009] On the other hand, this application provides a vehicle window glass assembly, including a glass component and the side trim assembly in the above embodiment, wherein a sealing strip is also snapped onto the lower part of the trim body; the glass component cooperates with the sealing strip.

[0010] The aforementioned side trim assembly and window glass components, with the water deflector and trim body detachably connected by a first fixing structure, achieve fixation between the trim body and the water deflector. Simultaneously, the water deflector and trim body are also connected by a second fixing structure. The second fixing structure is located on the first fixing structure or on the side of the trim body closer to the exterior of the vehicle than the first fixing structure. This eliminates the need for adhesive fixation on the same side as the first fixing structure, avoiding inconsistent local deformation at the adhesive application point of the water deflector due to small-segment adhesive fixation. Consequently, when the water deflector is squeezed by the trim body and the body sheet metal, it can achieve uniform outward deformation, maintaining its appearance performance.

[0011] Furthermore, the design of the first and second fixing structures improves the assembly stability between the trim strip body and the water deflector, preventing component movement or abnormal noises that may occur during vehicle operation. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0027] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0028] One aspect of this application, such as Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, a side trim assembly 100 is provided, including a trim body 110, a water-blocking strip 120, a first fixing structure 130 and a second fixing structure 140.

[0029] The water deflector 120 is used to abut and seal between the trim strip body 110 and the vehicle body sheet 200. A first fixing structure 130 connects the upper end of the trim strip body 110 and the lower end of the water deflector 120. A second fixing structure 140 connects the water deflector 120 and the trim strip body 110 and is used to limit the displacement of the water deflector 120 along its length. The second fixing structure 140 is disposed on the first fixing structure 130 or on the side of the trim strip body 110 that is closer to the exterior of the vehicle than the first fixing structure 130.

[0030] Understandably, the water deflector 120 and the trim body 110 are detachably connected via the first fixing structure 130, thus fixing the trim body 110 to the water deflector 120. At the same time, the water deflector 120 and the trim body 110 are also connected via the second fixing structure 140. The second fixing structure 140 is set on the first fixing structure 130 or on the side of the trim body 110 that is closer to the outside of the vehicle than the first fixing structure 130. This eliminates the need for adhesive fixing on the same side as the first fixing structure 130, avoiding the problem of inconsistent local deformation at the adhesive fixing position of the water deflector 120 due to small-segment adhesive fixing. Accordingly, when the water deflector 120 is squeezed by the trim body 110 and the body sheet metal 200, it can achieve uniform outward deformation as a whole, maintaining its appearance performance.

[0031] Furthermore, the arrangement of the first fixing structure 130 and the second fixing structure 140 helps to improve the assembly stability between the trim strip body 110 and the water deflector strip 120, and avoids possible component movement or abnormal noise during vehicle operation.

[0032] The second fixing structure 140 is disposed on the first fixing structure 130, meaning that the second fixing structure 140 and the first fixing structure 130 are at least partially connected. Specifically, in one example, along the length direction of the trim body 110, at least a portion of the first fixing structure 130 can be connected to the second fixing structure 140. This can be achieved by either the length of the first fixing structure 130 being less than the length of the second fixing structure 140, or vice versa. By varying the lengths, a complete connection or a partial connection can be achieved.

[0033] Of course, the connection between the second fixing structure 140 and the first fixing structure 130 can also be a partial connection or a complete connection along other directions, and no further limitations are imposed here.

[0034] In addition, the first fixing structure 130 can be a snap-fit ​​structure, allowing the water-blocking strip 120 and the trim body 110 to be snapped together. Of course, the first fixing structure 130 can also be a screw-fit structure, etc. The second fixing structure 140 can be a snap-fit ​​structure, a screw-fit structure, or a detachable structure. At the same time, the second fixing structure 140 can also be a non-detachable structure such as an adhesive structure.

[0035] It is understandable that the trim strip body 110 is positioned closer to the exterior of the vehicle than the first fixing structure 130, meaning that the trim strip body 110 has two sides that are positioned opposite each other along the width or thickness direction. One side is positioned closer to the exterior of the vehicle, serving as an aesthetic component. The other side is positioned closer to the interior of the vehicle, and the other side presses against the body sheet metal.

[0036] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, the outer surface of the trim strip body 110 is provided with a mounting surface 111 and a pressing surface 112. The pressing surface 112 is connected to the mounting surface 111 at an angle. The water deflector strip 120 is provided with a first region 1202a and a second region 1202b that are connected to each other. At least a portion of the first region 1202a is pressed against the pressing surface 112. The second region 1202b is used to press against the body sheet metal 200.

[0037] When the second region 1202b is pressed against the body sheet 200, at least a portion of the first region 1202a is pressed against the pressing surface 112. The first fixing structure 130 is disposed between the first region 1202a and the mounting surface 111, and the second fixing structure 140 is disposed between the first region 1202a and the pressing surface 112.

[0038] In one example, the first region 1202a is the exterior region, that is, it is located on the side of the trim body 110 that is closer to the exterior of the vehicle than the first fixing structure 130. The second region 1202b is the non-exterior region.

[0039] Specifically, the first region 1202a and the second region 1202b of the second sealing part 1202 are defined by whether the outer surface of the vehicle can be observed. The region where the water deflector 120 can be observed on the outer surface of the vehicle is the first region 1202a (appearance region), and the region where the water deflector 120 cannot be observed on the outer surface of the vehicle (i.e., the region blocked by the trim body 110 or the body sheet metal 200) is the second region 1202b (non-appearance region).

[0040] To facilitate understanding, the following examples will be used to illustrate the concepts. Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, the analysis focuses on the state in which the water-blocking strip 120 is connected to the decorative strip body 110 only through the first fixing structure 130.

[0041] When the water deflector strip 120 is connected to the trim strip body 110 only through the first fixing structure 130, if the body sheet metal 200 does not press against the water deflector strip 120, the water deflector strip 120 does not overflow evenly outward. Also, since no glue is applied between the mounting surface 111 and the water deflector strip 120 on the same side as the first fixing structure 130, the area between the mounting surface 111 and the water deflector strip 120 and the first fixing structure 130 is in a free connection state.

[0042] When the body sheet metal 200 presses against the water deflector strip 120, the area between the mounting surface 111 and the water deflector strip 120 and the first fixed structure 130 is in a free connection state, so that the water deflector strip 120 is squeezed outward evenly, and the first area 1202a and the second area 1202b can also be deformed evenly, and the second area 1202b will not be concave.

[0043] That is, when the body sheet metal 200 presses against the second region 1202b, since the water deflector strips 120 are all squeezed outwards evenly, at least part of the first region 1202a will be squeezed outwards and deformed, and the water deflector strips 120 will be pressed and deformed against the mounting surface 111.

[0044] Unlike related technologies, if adhesive is injected onto the mounting surface 111 to connect the water-blocking strip 120 and the mounting surface 111 based on only the first fixing structure 130, the position of the adhesive injection is difficult to deform outward, and the water-blocking strip 120 has a relative depression in the second region 1202b that cannot be squeezed outward.

[0045] Therefore, the second fixing structure 140 is disposed between the first region 1202a and the pressing surface 112. Since the first region 1202a of the second connecting part 1451b is already pressing along the direction of the pressing surface 112, and the connection stress direction of the second fixing structure 140 to the water-blocking strip 120 is also set towards the pressing surface 112, the water-blocking strip 120 can be squeezed out evenly along the original force path, and will not be blocked by forces from other directions to squeeze outward, ensuring that the water-blocking strip 120 will not have depressions caused by uneven outward squeezing, thereby ensuring the appearance performance of the water-blocking strip 120.

[0046] Furthermore, as the above analysis shows, the second fixing structure 140 will not cause any depression or deformation in the second region 1202b as long as it does not obstruct the movable connection between the mounting surface 111 and the water-blocking strip 120, except in the area where the first fixing structure 130 is located. Therefore, the location of the second fixing structure 140 can also be determined with reference to the location of the first fixing structure 130.

[0047] In some implementations, reference is made to Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, the second fixing structure 140 includes a second slot 141 and a second mounting portion 142. The second slot 141 is located on the side of the trim body 110 that is closer to the exterior of the vehicle than the first fixing structure 130 (such as the abutment surface 112 in the above embodiment). One end of the second mounting portion 142 is connected to the water deflector 120, and the other end of the second mounting portion 142 extends into the second slot 141. The side trim assembly 100 also includes an adhesive member 150. The adhesive member 150 is bonded between the inner wall of the second slot 141 and the second mounting portion 142.

[0048] Thus, when the body sheet metal 200 presses against the water deflector 120, the deformation of the water deflector 120 will cause the second mounting part 142 to remain confined within the second slot 141. This ensures that when the water deflector 120 is compressed and deformed, the compressed portion of the water deflector 120 can press against the second slot 141, guaranteeing uniform extrusion deformation of the water deflector 120 without affecting the vehicle's appearance. Furthermore, the adhesive part 150 improves the installation stability of the second mounting part 142 and the second slot 141, enhancing the limiting effect of the water deflector 120 in the length direction X.

[0049] Furthermore, an assembly gap needs to be reserved between the inner wall of the second slot 141 and the second mounting part 142 to install the adhesive part 150. The existence of the assembly gap provides a certain amount of tolerance for the second mounting part 142 to engage with the second slot 141, making the installation process smoother and reducing installation difficulties caused by minor dimensional deviations. On the other hand, the adhesive part 150 is located within the assembly gap, which reduces the risk of affecting the overall aesthetics of the vehicle.

[0050] In addition, the adhesive 150 is connected between the inner side wall of the second slot 141 and the second mounting part 142, so that part of the adhesive 150 can be set without overflowing the pressure surface. When observing the vehicle appearance from a certain angle, the adhesive 150 will not be visible on the surface of the water deflector 120, ensuring that the adhesive 150 will not affect the setting of the vehicle appearance.

[0051] In one example, the length direction X of the second slot 141 is aligned with the length direction of the trim body 110. Thus, the second mounting part 142 can be slidably positioned in the second slot 141, adjusting the position of the water-retaining strip 120 relative to the trim body 110 in the length direction X, thereby improving installation accuracy.

[0052] In the example installation scenario, when the second mounting part 142 is snapped into the second slot 141, adhesive can be injected into the installation position by means of applying glue, etc., and after cooling, it forms an adhesive part 150. In this way, the adhesive can flow, allowing it to be adjusted and filled between the water-retaining strip 120 and the trim body 110 according to the actual installation position, thus improving installation accuracy.

[0053] Optionally, in an example installation scenario, see back Figure 3 The adhesive 150 is recessed or flush with the opening edge of the second slot 141. Specifically, in one example, the adhesive 150 is recessed or flush with the pressing surface 112.

[0054] Thus, since the adhesive 150 does not extend beyond the plane of the opening side edge of the second slot 141, it is less susceptible to damage from external factors during daily use and maintenance of the vehicle. For example, during car washing or wiping of the vehicle exterior, the adhesive 150 will not come into contact with the vehicle and thus will not fall off or be damaged, extending the service life of the adhesive 150 and thereby improving the overall service life of the side trim assembly 100.

[0055] Furthermore, the adhesive 150 will not affect the appearance of the vehicle.

[0056] To improve the installation stability of the second fixing structure 140 between the water-retaining strip 120 and the decorative strip body 110, in one embodiment, such as Figure 3 as well as Figure 6 As shown, the second fixing structure 140 also includes a first abutting protrusion 143, which protrudes from the opening edge of the second slot 141. The first abutting protrusion 143 abuts against the second mounting portion 142.

[0057] It is understandable that when the second mounting part 142 is engaged with the second slot 141, the first abutting protrusion 143 can press against the second mounting part 142 to increase the frictional resistance of the second mounting part 142 disengaging from the second slot 141, thereby improving the installation stability of the second mounting part 142 in the second slot 141.

[0058] Further, optionally, in one embodiment, see back Figure 3 as well as Figure 6 As shown, the second fixing structure 140 also includes a second abutting protrusion 144, which protrudes from the surface of the second mounting portion 142. When the second mounting portion 142 is engaged with the second slot 141, the second abutting protrusion 144 abuts against the first abutting protrusion 143 along the depth direction of the second slot 141.

[0059] Thus, when the second mounting part 142 is engaged with the second slot 141, the abutting cooperation between the second abutting protrusion 144 and the first abutting protrusion 143 further increases the difficulty for the second mounting part 142 to disengage from the second slot 141, thereby enhancing the stability of the second mounting part 142 within the second slot 141.

[0060] Furthermore, during vehicle operation, various complex road conditions and external environmental influences will be encountered, such as vibration and bumps. When vibration occurs, the tight contact between the second abutting protrusion 144 and the first abutting protrusion 143 can effectively buffer the impact of vibration on the connection between the second mounting part 142 and the second slot 141, making the force between the second mounting part 142 and the second slot 141 more uniform, reducing local stress concentration, which helps to reduce the risk of component damage caused by excessive stress concentration, and extends the service life of the second fixing structure 140 and the entire side trim assembly 100.

[0061] Meanwhile, the abutting engagement of the second abutting protrusion 144 along the depth direction of the second slot 141 ensures more precise positioning of the second mounting part 142 within the second slot 141. During installation, this engagement guides the second mounting part 142 to accurately engage in the appropriate position within the second slot 141, preventing installation deviations. Furthermore, even with prolonged use, if the water-retaining strip 120 and the trim body 110 experience some wear, the abutting relationship between the second abutting protrusion 144 and the first abutting protrusion 143 maintains a stable connection of the second mounting part 142 within the second slot 141, preserving the overall performance of the side trim assembly 100.

[0062] The number of the first abutting protrusion 143 and the second abutting protrusion 144 can be one or more, and no further limitation is made here.

[0063] Furthermore, in yet another embodiment, see back Figure 3 as well as Figure 6 As shown, the second fixing structure 140 includes two first abutting protrusions 143 and two second abutting protrusions 144. The two first abutting protrusions 143 are disposed opposite each other along the width direction Y2 of the second slot, and each first abutting protrusion 143 abuts against each second abutting protrusion 144 along the depth direction.

[0064] Understandably, when subjected to external force, the two opposing first abutting protrusions 143 and second abutting protrusions 144 can simultaneously provide mutually balanced buffering and support from both sides, effectively dispersing the external force and preventing the second mounting part 142 from shaking or shifting within the second slot 141, thereby improving the installation stability of the second mounting part 142 and the second slot 141.

[0065] In some embodiments, the second mounting part 142 is connected to the water-blocking strip 120 in a non-detachable manner.

[0066] Optionally, the second mounting part 142 and the water-retaining strip 120 are integrally formed. This integral forming method helps to improve the connection stability between the second mounting part 142 and the water-retaining strip 120, and avoids the separation of the water-retaining strip 120 from the decorative strip body 110.

[0067] In some other embodiments, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 As shown, the second fixing structure 140 also includes a second slot 141 and a mounting member 145. The second slot 141 is located on the side of the trim body 110 that is closer to the outside of the vehicle than the first fixing structure 130. The water deflector 120 has a first mounting hole 121. The mounting member 145 is inserted between the second slot 141 and the first mounting hole 121.

[0068] Thus, by inserting the mounting piece 145 between the second slot 141 and the first mounting hole 121, when the water-blocking strip 120 is squeezed and deformed, the squeezed part of the water-blocking strip 120 can squeeze the second slot 141, and the water-blocking strip 120 can also be uniformly extruded between the lower end of the water-blocking strip 120 and the upper end of the trim body 110.

[0069] In one embodiment, the mounting member 145 has a first end 1451 and a second end 1452 at its two ends. Along the radial direction of the first mounting hole 121, the cross-sectional areas of both the first end 1451 and the second end 1452 are larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the middle portion of the mounting member 145. The opening edge of the second slot 141 has a protruding third abutting protrusion 1411. The first end 1451 abuts against the third abutting protrusion 1411, and the second end 1452 abuts against the opening edge of the first mounting hole 121 on the side opposite to the second slot 141.

[0070] Thus, when the mounting part 145 is engaged with the second slot 141, the third abutting protrusion 1411 abuts against the first end 1451, and the second end 1452 abuts against the first mounting hole 121, further increasing the difficulty for the mounting part 145 to disengage from the second slot 141. This allows for complete limiting of the mounting part 145 in the depth direction, ensuring the engagement stability of the mounting part 145 when engaged with the second slot 141.

[0071] Furthermore, during vehicle operation, various complex road conditions and external environmental influences will be encountered, such as vibration and bumps. When vibration occurs, the tight contact between the third abutment protrusion 1411 and the first end 1451 can effectively buffer the impact of vibration on the connection between the mounting part 145 and the second slot 141, making the force between the mounting part 145 and the second slot 141 more uniform, reducing local stress concentration, which helps to reduce the risk of component damage caused by excessive stress concentration, and extends the service life of the second fixing structure 140 and the entire side trim assembly 100.

[0072] Meanwhile, the abutting engagement of the third abutting protrusion 1411 with the first end 1451 and the second end 1452 with the first mounting hole 121, along with the abutting engagement along the depth direction of the second slot 141, makes the positioning of the mounting part 145 within the second slot 141 more precise. During installation, this engagement method guides the mounting part 145 to accurately engage in the appropriate position within the second slot 141, avoiding installation deviations. Moreover, even if the water-retaining strip 120 and the trim body 110 experience some wear during long-term use, the abutting relationship between the third abutting protrusion 1411 and the first end 1451 still ensures the stable connection of the mounting part 145 within the second slot 141, maintaining the overall performance of the side trim assembly 100.

[0073] In one example, the second end 1452 can have the same structure as the first end 1451 in the above embodiment. This reduces the difficulty of differentiated processing and helps improve processing efficiency.

[0074] Furthermore, in one embodiment, such as Figure 5As shown, the following relationship is satisfied among the mounting member 145, the third abutting convex portion 1411, and the water blocking strip 120: L1 < L2 + L3. L1 is the central length of the mounting member 145, L2 is the thickness of the third abutting convex portion 1411, and L3 is the thickness of the water blocking strip 120 along the axial direction of the first mounting hole 121 when not extruded by the mounting member 145.

[0075] In this way, within this dimensional range, the abutting effect between the mounting member 145 and the water blocking strip 120 and the trim body 110 is ensured, and it is ensured that the water blocking strip 120 and the trim body 110 can be in close contact through the second fixing structure 140, improving the limiting stability between the water blocking strip 120 and the trim body 110 in the length direction X.

[0076] In one embodiment, as Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, the first end 1451 includes a first connecting portion 1451a and a second connecting portion 1451b. The first connecting portion 1451a and the second connecting portion 1451b are spaced apart and arranged at an angle.

[0077] The protruding thickness of the first connecting portion 1451a relative to the middle part of the mounting member 145 is greater than the protruding thickness of the second connecting portion 1451b relative to the middle part of the mounting member 145. The mounting member 145 is rotatably arranged in the second card slot 141 and the first mounting hole 121, so that the first connecting portion 1451a can be switched between abutting and cooperating with the inner side wall of the second card slot 141 and being spaced apart from the inner side wall of the second card slot 141.

[0078] It can be understood that when the mounting member 145 rotates relative to the first mounting hole 121 and the second card slot 141, the mounting member 145 will be switched at least between the first angle and the second angle relative to the first mounting hole 121 and the second card slot 141; wherein, the difference between the first angle and the second angle is related to the set angle between the first connecting portion 1451a and the second connecting portion 1451b.

[0079] Specifically, when the mounting member 145 rotates to the first angle, the first connecting portion 1451a abuts and cooperates with the inner side wall of the second card slot 141, and the second connecting portion 1451b is spaced apart from the inner side wall of the second card slot 141. Since the thickness spacing between the surface of the first connecting portion 1451a and the surface of the mounting member 145 is relatively large, during the rotation process, the first connecting portion 1451a can form a tight abutment with the inner wall of the second card slot 141, increasing the friction force between the mounting member 145 and the two, effectively preventing the mounting member 145 from loosening or displacing during use, thereby improving the installation stability.

[0080] When the mounting component 145 rotates to the second angle, the first connecting portion 1451a is spaced apart from the inner wall of the second slot 141, and the second connecting portion 1451b is oriented towards the inner wall of the second slot 141. At this time, the second connecting portion 1451b can be spaced apart from the inner wall of the second slot 141. During rotation, the friction between the second connecting portion 1451b and the inner wall of the second slot 141 is reduced, which reduces the difficulty of switching the mounting component 145 between the first and second angles and improves the installation efficiency of the mounting component 145.

[0081] That is, during installation, the operator can adjust the position of the mounting part 145 within the first mounting hole 121 and the second slot 141 by rotating it to achieve the best installation effect. Specifically, when it is necessary to install the mounting part 145, it can be rotated to the second angle to insert it into the second slot 141, and then rotated from the second angle to the first angle so that the first connecting part 1451a abuts against the inner sidewall of the second slot 141, thereby making the installation of the mounting part 145 on the second slot 141 stable.

[0082] When it is necessary to disassemble the mounting part 145, the mounting part 145 can be rotated from the first angle to the second angle, so that the mounting part 145 can be dislodged from the first mounting hole 121 and the second slot 141 to complete the disassembly operation, which helps to improve the disassembly and assembly efficiency.

[0083] Optionally, in one embodiment, the first mounting hole 121 is a circular hole, the size of which matches the central dimension of the mounting member 145. The first end 1451 passes through the first mounting hole 121 and connects to the second slot 141. In one installation scenario, the water-blocking strip 120 has a certain degree of elasticity. When the first end 1451 is inserted into the first mounting hole 121, the first end 1451 abuts against the inner wall of the first mounting hole 121, allowing the inner wall of the first mounting hole 121 to undergo radial elastic deformation, thereby providing corresponding installation space and improving installation convenience.

[0084] In yet another embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, the first mounting hole 121 is an oblong hole, the long side dimension of which matches the dimension of the first connecting part 1451a, and the short side dimension of which matches the dimension of the second connecting part 1451b.

[0085] Thus, the waist-shaped hole structure of the first mounting hole 121 facilitates adaptation to the structure of the first end 1451 in the above embodiment, reduces the insertion difficulty when the first end 1451 is inserted into the first mounting hole 121, and achieves abutment between the first end 1451 and the second slot 141 in the mounting component 145 by rotation, ensuring installation stability.

[0086] In other embodiments, see back Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 The water-blocking strip 120 is also provided with a second mounting hole 122. The first mounting hole 121 and the second mounting hole 122 are connected. The mounting member 145 passes through the second mounting hole 122 and is inserted into the first mounting hole 121.

[0087] Thus, the second mounting hole 122 allows the mounting piece 145 to be inserted from a different side than the first mounting hole 121, thereby avoiding obstruction by the trim body 110 or other parts and improving installation efficiency.

[0088] In one example, the first mounting hole 121 is located on the side closer to the second slot 141, and the second mounting hole 122 is located on the side farther from the second slot 141. This ensures that the mounting member 145 is inserted from the second mounting hole 122 into the first mounting hole 121 along the same mounting line as possible, reducing the alignment accuracy between the mounting member 145 and the first mounting hole 121 and improving installation efficiency.

[0089] In conjunction with any embodiment of the second fixing structure 140 described above, such as Figure 9 As shown, the second fixing structure 140 also includes a connector 146. One end of the connector 146 is connected to the water-blocking strip 120 through the first fixing structure 130, and the other end of the connector 146 is connected to the trim body 110 to limit the displacement of the water-blocking strip 120 along its length direction X.

[0090] Thus, in conjunction with the mounting surface 111 in the above embodiment, the connector 146 is disposed on the first fixing structure 130, such that the connector 146 is disposed on the trim body 110, that is, the connector 146 is connected to the side of the mounting surface 111. At the same time, the second fixing structure 140 is connected to the water-blocking strip 120 through the first fixing structure 130. That is, both the first fixing structure 130 and the second fixing structure 140 are disposed at the same point on the trim body 110 and the water-blocking strip 120, so that no single-point adhesive is required, avoiding uneven deformation of the water-blocking strip 120 and ensuring the appearance performance of the side trim assembly 100.

[0091] The connector 146 can also provide mounting points for other trim strips on the vehicle, such as corner window trim strips or water cutter trim strips. That is, other trim strips on the vehicle are mounted on the side trim strip assembly 100 via the connector 146.

[0092] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10As shown, the connector 146 includes a plug-in body 1461 and a limiting protrusion 1462 disposed on the plug-in body 1461. The plug-in body 1461 is connected to the water-blocking strip 120 through the first fixing structure 130. The limiting protrusion 1462 abuts against the end face of the trim body 110, and this end face is the mating end 113 of the trim body 110.

[0093] Understandably, the limiting protrusion 1462 is used to abut against the mating end 113 to limit the installation distance of the insertion body 1461 relative to the trim body 110. This improves the installation accuracy of the connector 146 in the length direction X, which helps ensure the connection stability between the water-retaining strip 120 and the trim body 110.

[0094] In one embodiment, see back Figure 7 The first fixing structure 130 includes a first slot 131 and a first mounting portion 132. The first slot 131 is disposed on the trim body 110. The first mounting portion 132 is disposed on the water-retaining strip 120, and at least a portion of the sealing portion is engaged with the first slot 131. The insertion body 1461 is inserted into the first slot 131.

[0095] It is understood that the connector 146 can be used to connect the trim body 110 in the side trim assembly with other trims such as corner window trims. The connector 146 is inserted into the first slot 131 from the mating end 113, and the inner sidewalls of the first mounting part 132 and the first slot 131 are pressed against the connector 146. The connector 146 can make the first mounting part 132 and the first slot 131 interference fit, thereby improving the connection stability of the first mounting part 132 and the first slot 131.

[0096] Furthermore, in one installation scenario, a mounting surface 111 is provided on the outer surface of the trim body 110, and the opening of the first slot 131 is provided on the mounting surface 111. At least a portion of the first mounting part 132 passes through the opening and is engaged in the first slot 131. That is, at least a portion of the first mounting part 132 can be engaged from the opening on the mounting surface 111 to the first slot 131, and the alignment of at least a portion of the first mounting part 132 with the opening of the first slot 131 on the mounting surface 111 is beneficial to improving the efficiency of disassembly and assembly.

[0097] In one embodiment, such as Figures 9 to 12As shown, either the plug-in body 1461 or the first mounting part 132 is provided with a plug-in part 1321, and the other is provided with a plug-in mating part 1461a. The plug-in part 1321 and the plug-in mating part 1461a are plugged into each other in a direction perpendicular to the length direction X of the water-retaining strip 120. This mating of the plug-in part 1321 and the plug-in mating part 1461a helps improve the alignment accuracy of the first mounting part 132 and the plug-in body 1461, as well as their mutual installation stability.

[0098] In one example scenario, the first mounting portion 132 is connected to the insertion portion 1321. The connection method between the water-blocking strip 120 and the insertion portion 1321 can be, but is not limited to, snap-fit, adhesive, or screw connection. Further, it is exemplarily illustrated that the insertion portion 1321 can be formed by processing the first mounting portion 132.

[0099] In conjunction with any embodiment of the above-described water-blocking strip 120, Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, the water deflector 120 includes a first sealing portion 1201 and a second sealing portion 1202. The second sealing portion 1202 is connected to the first sealing portion 1201. The first sealing portion 1201 is used to connect with the first fixing structure 130. The second sealing portion 1202 is used to abut against the body sheet metal 200. The second fixing structure 140 is disposed on at least one of the first sealing portion 1201 and the second sealing portion 1202.

[0100] Thus, the first sealing part 1201 and the second sealing part 1202 are respectively used to press against the trim strip body 110 and the body sheet metal 200, which can prevent the trim strip body 110 from interfering with the installation position of the body sheet metal 200 when the body sheet metal 200 presses against the water deflector 120, thus ensuring installation efficiency.

[0101] In some embodiments, the Shore hardness of the first sealing portion 1201 is greater than that of the second sealing portion 1202.

[0102] Thus, the higher Shore hardness of the first sealing part 1201 ensures the stability and firmness of its connection with the first fixing structure 130, preventing loosening due to vibration or other external forces during vehicle operation, and ensuring a tight and reliable connection between the side trim assembly 100 and the first fixing structure 130. Meanwhile, the lower Shore hardness of the second sealing part 1202 allows for better deformation of the second sealing part 1202 when the second fixing structure 140 is installed, adapting to deformation during the snap-fit ​​process and preventing unbalanced forces when the water deflector 120 deforms, thereby preventing dents in the water deflector 120.

[0103] It should be noted that the connection method of the first sealing part 1201 and the second sealing part 1202 can be adhesive, snap-fit, etc., and no further restrictions are imposed here.

[0104] In one embodiment, the first sealing part 1201 and the second sealing part 1202 are integrally formed.

[0105] In this way, the first sealing part 1201 and the second sealing part 1202 are integrally formed, which improves the connection stability of the first sealing part 1201 and the second sealing part 1202, and at the same time prevents the sealing performance from decreasing due to connection gaps.

[0106] In conjunction with any embodiment of the first mounting part 132 described above, see back Figure 3 The first fixing structure 130 may further include a sixth abutting protrusion 133 and a seventh abutting protrusion 134. The seventh abutting protrusion 134 protrudes from the outer side wall of the first mounting portion 132. The sixth abutting protrusion 133 protrudes from the opening edge of the first slot 131. When the first mounting portion 132 is engaged with the first slot 131, the sixth abutting protrusion 133 abuts against the seventh abutting protrusion 134 along the depth direction of the first slot 131. Thus, when the sixth abutting protrusion 133 and the seventh abutting protrusion 134 abut against each other, the first mounting portion 132 can be limited within the first slot 131, preventing the first mounting portion 132 from falling out of the first slot 131 and improving the connection stability between the sealing body and the trim body 110.

[0107] Furthermore, the two sixth abutment protrusions 133 are arranged at a relative interval along the width direction Y1 of the first slot. The two seventh abutment protrusions 134 are also arranged at a relative interval along the width direction Y1 of the first slot. Thus, when the first mounting part 132 and the first slot 131 are engaged, the two sixth abutment protrusions 133 and the two seventh abutment protrusions 134 engage one-to-one, providing a balanced holding effect and improving the installation stability of the first mounting part 132 and the first slot 131.

[0108] In another aspect, this application provides a vehicle window glass assembly, including a glass component and the side trim assembly 100 as described in the above embodiments. The trim body 110 also includes a sealing strip 300. The glass component is installed within the sealing strip 300. Thus, the side trim assembly 100 in the above embodiments helps to avoid the problem of the water deflector 120 denting caused by uneven force on the water deflector 120, thereby avoiding the impact of the dented water deflector 120 on the vehicle's appearance.

[0109] In other embodiments, see back Figure 2The trim strip body 110 also includes a rack portion 114. The rack portion 114 is used to engage with the mating portion 210 of the body sheet metal. Thus, on the one hand, the engagement between the rack portion 114 and the mating portion helps to improve the connection stability between the trim strip body 110 and the body sheet metal 200; on the other hand, the rack portion 114 and the mating portion can slide to adjust the connection position between the trim strip body 110 and the body sheet metal 200.

[0110] The mating part 210 can be a protrusion, a tooth, or something else; there are no further restrictions here.

[0111] The second aspect of this application, as Figure 13 As shown, a vehicle window glass assembly is provided, including a glass component and a side trim assembly 100 as described in the above embodiment. A sealing strip 300 is also snapped onto the lower part of the trim body 110. The glass component cooperates with the sealing strip 300. Thus, by setting the side trim assembly 100 in the above embodiment, the uniform deformation performance of the water deflector 120 is improved, thereby improving the contact effect between the water deflector 120 and the trim body 110, and consequently improving the sealing performance and appearance performance.

[0112] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
