Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of vehicles, and specifically proposes an external water deflector assembly, its mounting structure, and a carrier. Background Technology

[0002] The external water deflector assembly is usually installed at the waistline of the car door. It is mainly used to cut off water droplets, water mist and dust on the glass surface when the car window is raised or lowered, to ensure the vehicle's sound insulation and airtightness, as well as to support the car window glass during the raising and lowering process.

[0003] In related technologies, some vehicle models adopt a hidden external water deflector, that is, the highest point of the external water deflector does not exceed the upper edge of the side door outer panel, which increases the vehicle's aesthetics and enhances product competitiveness.

[0004] However, most currently available concealed external water deflectors, where the exposed portion between the window glass and the side door panel is made of matte rubber, are too rudimentary and negatively impact the user experience.

[0005] Specifically, although the concealed outer water deflector is not easily seen under normal circumstances, it can be seen when the passenger is near the window and looking down. Usually, the outer door panel has a metallic sheen, while the water deflector is the original rubber color. The two do not match and have a poor visual effect, which will give users the feeling that the outer water deflector is rather simple. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this application is to at least solve the technical problem mentioned above, namely, that "the exposed part of the external water-retaining strip is too simple, affecting the user experience." This purpose is achieved through the following technical solution: In a first aspect, this application proposes an external water deflector assembly, which includes a mounting portion, a first sealing structure, and a second sealing structure; the mounting portion is connected to a door outer panel assembly and includes a first frame; the first sealing structure is connected to the mounting portion and seals against the upper edge of the door outer panel assembly; the first sealing structure includes a second frame, and an external surface is formed at the end of the second frame away from the mounting portion; the second sealing structure is connected to the mounting portion or the first sealing structure and seals against the window glass.

[0012] In some embodiments, the side of the second portion facing away from the mounting portion forms the exterior surface.

[0013] In some embodiments, the side of the second part facing away from the mounting part is provided with a paint layer, an electroplating layer, an oxide layer, or a patch structure, and the paint layer, electroplating layer, oxide layer, or patch structure forms the appearance surface.

[0014] In some embodiments, the second skeleton includes a hook portion that is connected to the second portion at an angle, and the connection between the two forms a first bending point. The hook portion bends away from the second sealing structure to form a second bending point.

[0015] In some embodiments, the side of the hook facing the second sealing structure is a smooth transition surface.

[0016] In some embodiments, a protective layer is provided on the side of the hook facing the second sealing structure.

[0017] In some embodiments, the side of the second frame facing the door outer panel assembly is provided with a sealing layer, which seals against the upper edge of the door outer panel assembly.

[0018] In some embodiments, the mounting portion and the first sealing structure form a clearance space, which avoids the second sealing structure.

[0019] In some embodiments, the first frame has a first side facing the door outer panel assembly, and the second frame is connected to the first side.

[0020] In some embodiments, the mounting portion has a clamping cavity for clamping the connecting door outer panel assembly.

[0021] In some embodiments, the first frame has a U-shaped structure, and an abutment layer is provided on the inner side of the first frame. The abutment layer forms a clamping cavity and is sealed and abuts against the outer panel assembly of the door.

[0022] In some embodiments, the door outer panel assembly includes a mounting plate, and the abutment layer includes a first elastically deformable portion and a second elastically deformable portion. The first elastically deformable portion abuts against one side of the mounting plate, and the second elastically deformable portion abuts against the other side of the mounting plate.

[0023] In some embodiments, the first elastic deformation portion includes a deformation lip; and / or, the second elastic deformation portion includes a deformation protrusion.

[0024] In some embodiments, the second sealing structure includes wiper lips, with at least two wiper lips; and / or, the side of the wiper lip facing the window glass is provided with a flocked layer, the flocked layer sealingly abutting against the window glass.

[0025] In some embodiments, the highest point of the exterior surface does not extend beyond the upper edge of the door outer panel assembly.

[0026] Secondly, this application proposes an outer water deflector assembly installation structure, which includes a door outer panel assembly, a window glass, and the outer water deflector assembly of the first aspect, wherein the outer water deflector assembly is sealed and connected between the door outer panel assembly and the window glass.

[0027] In some embodiments, the door outer panel assembly includes a door outer panel and a mounting plate, the mounting portion is connected to the mounting plate, and a first sealing structure is in sealing contact with the upper edge of the door outer panel.

[0028] In some embodiments, the outer door panel includes an outer panel member and a reinforcing plate, the outer panel member being connected to the reinforcing plate and covering the upper edge of the reinforcing plate, and a first sealing structure sealingly abutting against the outer panel member.

[0029] In some embodiments, the door outer panel assembly includes a door outer panel, the door outer panel includes an outer panel member and a reinforcing plate, the reinforcing plate is connected to a mounting portion, the outer panel member is connected to the reinforcing plate and covers the upper edge of the reinforcing plate, and a first sealing structure is in sealing contact with the outer panel member.

[0031] The technical solution proposed in this application has at least the following technical effects: In this application, the outer water deflector assembly utilizes the "connection between the mounting part and the outer door panel assembly" to provide a preliminary fixing base. The first sealing structure extending from it seals against the upper edge of the outer door panel assembly, and the second sealing structure provided on the other side seals against the window glass. This not only further fixes the outer water deflector assembly and ensures the overall structural integrity, but also effectively seals the gap between the outer door panel assembly and the window glass, preventing water mist, dust, and other impurities from entering.

[0032] It should be noted that the mounting part includes a first frame, which can improve the connection strength between the mounting part and the outer door panel assembly. For example, when the mounting part is clamped to the outer door panel assembly, the first frame can ensure that the mounting part has sufficient clamping force to clamp the outer door panel assembly.

[0033] In addition, the first sealing structure includes a second skeleton to ensure that the first sealing structure has sufficient contact force with the upper edge of the door outer panel assembly to ensure a sealing effect.

[0034] It is important to emphasize that the end of the second frame furthest from the mounting part forms an exterior surface that can be exposed to the user's view. For example, it can be a metal surface (such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy), or it can use surface treatment processes (such as electroplating, painting, anodizing, patching, etc.) to present a high-end texture and gloss. Compared with the traditional exposed rubber color of the outer water deflector, it greatly enhances the visual grade and luxury of the product. Moreover, it can make the product appearance perfectly match the body color or trim style, significantly enhancing the overall aesthetics and market competitiveness of the vehicle and improving the user experience.

[0038] To make the embodiments of this application clearer, they will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the content mentioned below represents only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments are listed exhaustively. Therefore, other embodiments that can be obtained based on the following embodiments without any inventive effort fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0039] It should be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and is not intended to impose strict limitations on the technical solutions unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. For example, the use of "a," "an," and "the" to modify a feature does not preclude the possibility that the feature may be plural in other embodiments.

[0040] It should be understood that the terms "comprising," "including," and "having" are open-ended, indicating the presence of the stated features but not excluding the possibility of other features in the embodiment. Similarly, the use of terms such as "first," "second," etc., to describe multiple features only indicates the distinction between one feature and another, and such terms do not imply order or sequence unless explicitly stated in the context.

[0041] It should be understood that, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the terms "setup," "connection," and "installation" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integrated connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection via a medium. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning of these terms in this document based on the specific circumstances.

[0042] In addition, for ease of description, the text will use terms of spatial relative relationship to describe the position of one feature relative to another feature, such as "inner", "outer", "end", "side", "upper", "middle", "lower", "high", "low", "axial", "circumferential", "radial", "horizontal", "vertical", "first direction", "second direction", etc. It can be understood that the spatial relative relationship between two features should include other specific situations besides those shown in the accompanying drawings of the specification.

[0043] The embodiments of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It can be understood that the technical features involved in the different embodiments described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0044] Firstly, combining Figures 1 to 5 Key reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The embodiments of this application propose an external water deflector assembly, which includes a mounting portion 10, a first sealing structure 20, and a second sealing structure 30; the mounting portion 10 is connected to the outer door panel assembly 40 and includes a first frame 110; the first sealing structure 20 is connected to the mounting portion 10 and seals against the upper edge of the outer door panel assembly 40; the first sealing structure 20 includes a second frame 210, and an external surface S1 is formed at the end of the second frame 210 away from the mounting portion 10; the second sealing structure 30 is connected to the mounting portion 10 or the first sealing structure 20 and seals against the window glass 50.

[0045] In this embodiment, the outer water deflector assembly utilizes the "connection between the mounting part 10 and the outer door panel assembly 40" to provide a preliminary fixing base. The first sealing structure 20 extending from it seals against the upper edge of the outer door panel assembly 40, and the second sealing structure 30 provided on the other side seals against the window glass 50. This not only further fixes the outer water deflector assembly and ensures the overall structural integrity, but also effectively seals the gap between the outer door panel assembly 40 and the window glass 50, preventing water mist, dust, and other impurities from entering.

[0046] It should be noted that the mounting part 10 includes a first frame 110, which can improve the connection strength between the mounting part 10 and the door outer panel assembly 40. For example, when the mounting part 10 is clamped to the door outer panel assembly 40, the first frame 110 can ensure that the mounting part 10 has sufficient clamping force to clamp the door outer panel assembly 40.

[0047] In addition, the first sealing structure 20 includes a second frame 210 to ensure that the first sealing structure 20 has sufficient contact force with the upper edge of the door outer panel assembly 40 to ensure a sealing effect.

[0048] It is important to emphasize that the end of the second frame 210 furthest from the mounting part 10 has an exterior surface S1. The exterior surface S1 can be exposed to the user's view. For example, it can be a metal surface (such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy), or it can be presented with a high-end texture and gloss using surface treatment processes (such as electroplating, painting, anodizing, patching, etc.). Compared with the traditional exposed rubber color of the outer water deflector, it greatly enhances the visual grade and luxury of the product. Moreover, it can make the product appearance perfectly match the body color or trim style, significantly enhancing the overall aesthetics and market competitiveness of the vehicle and improving the user experience.

[0049] In particular, although the concealed external water deflector is not easily seen under normal circumstances, it can be seen when the occupant is close to the window and looking downwards. This embodiment allows the occupant to see the metallic-looking water deflector surface S1 from a specific angle. It is made of the same material as the door outer panel 410, with a coordinated color scheme and superior visual effect, thus providing the user with a better detail experience.

[0050] It should be noted that the outer door panel assembly 40 is usually made of metal. The metal second frame 210 should avoid direct contact with the outer door panel assembly 40 as much as possible to prevent affecting the sealing effect or causing friction noise.

[0051] Understandably, the first sealing structure 20 may include a flexible layered structure that seals against the upper edge of the door outer panel assembly 40 to ensure sealing performance and eliminate frictional noise between metal structures.

[0052] In addition, the second sealing structure 30 may include a wiper lip 310, which can effectively cut off water droplets, water mist and dust on the glass surface while ensuring a seal between the wiper lip and the window glass 50 and the window glass 50 is raised and lowered.

[0053] Among them, such as Figure 2 As shown, the second sealing structure 30 can be connected to the mounting part 10, or in some embodiments not shown in the figure, the second sealing structure 30 can also be extended from the first sealing structure 20 and toward the window glass 50, which is also a desirable implementation.

[0054] Furthermore, for ease of understanding, the connection method between the outer door panel assembly 40 and the mounting portion 10 is further illustrated with examples. Specifically, in some embodiments, refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 3 The door outer panel assembly 40 includes a door outer panel 410 and a mounting plate 420. The mounting plate 420 is connected to the door outer panel 410, and the mounting part 10 is mounted on the mounting plate 420 (including but not limited to clamping connection, snap-fit, etc.). That is, the mounting plate 420 is set independently of the door outer panel 410.

[0055] Alternatively, in some embodiments not shown in the figures, the door outer panel assembly 40 includes a door outer panel 410, which includes an outer panel member 411 and a reinforcing plate 412. The outer panel member 411 is connected to the outside of the reinforcing plate 412 and covers the upper edge of the reinforcing plate 412. A portion of the reinforcing plate 412 is close to and connected to the mounting portion 10 (including but not limited to snap-fit, fastener connection, etc.).

[0056] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the mounting part 10, the first sealing structure 20, and the second sealing structure 30 can be formed by a co-extrusion process of irregularly shaped materials.

[0057] Overall, the external water-retaining strip assembly is located at, for example... Figure 1 On the door 1 shown, in some embodiments, Figure 1 The cross section at point AA can be obtained as follows Figure 2 The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of the external water-retaining strip assembly and other structures.

[0058] It should be noted that both the first frame 110 and the second frame 210 have a certain strength to ensure the stability of the structure. Specifically, in some embodiments, the first frame 110 is made of plastic and the second frame 210 is made of metal; or, in some embodiments, the first frame 110 is made of metal and the second frame 210 is made of plastic; or, in some embodiments, both the first frame 110 and the second frame 210 are made of plastic. The second frame 210 can be directly connected to the first frame 110, for example, by co-extrusion molding or by using fasteners.

[0059] Alternatively, in some embodiments, both the first frame 110 and the second frame 210 are made of metal and can be welded together or connected using fasteners.

[0060] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The second frame 210 includes a first part 211 and a second part 212 connected at an angle. The first part 211 is connected to the mounting part 10, and the second part 212 is located between the upper edge of the door outer panel assembly 40 and the window glass 50.

[0061] In this embodiment, an implementation method is proposed in which the second skeleton 210 is connected to the mounting part 10, that is, the second skeleton 210 has an "L" shaped structure. Specifically, the first part 211 of the second skeleton 210 can be directly connected to the first skeleton 110 of the mounting part 10, and the two can be co-extruded.

[0062] Alternatively, in some embodiments not shown in the figures, refer to Figure 5The second frame 210 also includes a third part 218 that is connected at an angle to the first part 211, that is, the second frame 210 has a "C" shaped structure, wherein the third part 218 is connected to the first frame 110 of the mounting part 10, which is also a preferred implementation.

[0063] In some embodiments, the side of the second portion 212 facing away from the mounting portion 10 forms an appearance surface S1.

[0064] In this embodiment, a specific implementation method for forming the appearance surface S1 is proposed, that is, the appearance surface S1 is directly formed on the side of the second part 212 on the second frame 210 facing away from the mounting part 10. The structure is stable and can ensure the appearance surface S1 of the product under long-term use. There is no need to consider the risk of the appearance surface S1 peeling off, thus increasing durability.

[0065] In some embodiments, the second part 212 has a paint layer, an electroplating layer, an oxide layer or a patch structure on the side facing away from the mounting part 10, and the paint layer, electroplating layer, oxide layer or patch structure forms the appearance surface S1.

[0066] In this embodiment, another implementation method for forming the appearance surface S1 is proposed. Specifically, the appearance surface S1 is formed by a paint layer, electroplating layer, oxide layer, or patch structure on the second frame 210. The paint layer can be formed by spraying metallic paint or non-metallic paint; or, electroplating or anodizing can be performed on the metal second frame 210 to form an electroplating layer or oxide layer, or chemical plating can be performed on the non-metallic second frame 210 to form a plating layer; in addition, metal or non-metal sheets can be attached to the second frame 210 to form the appearance surface S1 to present a high-end texture and gloss. In summary, all of the above are desirable implementation methods.

[0067] It should be noted that the exterior surface S1 formed by the paint layer, electroplating layer, oxidation layer, or patch structure can be precisely matched with the body color or trim style according to the requirements, thereby achieving a highly customized visual effect, enhancing the unity of the overall vehicle design and the luxurious feel, and increasing the added value and market appeal of the product; in addition, this embodiment can also significantly improve the corrosion resistance, wear resistance and UV resistance of the exterior surface S1, thereby extending the visual life of the exterior surface S1.

[0068] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The second frame 210 includes a hook 213, which is connected to the second part 212 at an angle. The connection between the two forms a first bending point 214. The hook 213 bends away from the second sealing structure 30 and forms a second bending point 215.

[0069] In this embodiment, a hook 213 is provided at one end of the second part 212 on the second frame 210 facing the second sealing structure 30. The hook 213 bends back in a direction away from the second sealing structure 30, thereby preventing the end of the second part 212 from being too sharp and scratching the second sealing structure 30 when the window glass 50 is raised or lowered, causing the second sealing structure 30 to move toward the second part 212, thus affecting the sealing and water-wiping performance of the second sealing structure 30.

[0070] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 The third bend point 216 is formed at the connection between the first part 211 and the second part 212.

[0071] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The side of the hook 213 facing the second sealing structure 30 is a smooth transition surface S2.

[0072] In this embodiment, the hook 213 is provided with a smooth transition surface S2 facing the second sealing structure 30, thereby preventing the corner of the hook 213 from being too sharp and scratching the second sealing structure 30 when the window glass 50 is raised or lowered and the second sealing structure 30 moves toward the hook 213, thus protecting the second sealing structure 30.

[0073] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 The hook portion 213 has a protective layer 220 on the side facing the second sealing structure 30.

[0074] In this embodiment, the smooth transition surface S2 is provided with a protective layer 220, thereby further protecting the second sealing structure 30; specifically, when the protective layer 220 and the second sealing structure 30 are squeezed and collided, the protective layer 220 can not only play a role in buffering and protection, but also prevent abnormal noise from being generated.

[0075] More specifically, the protective layer 220 may be made of soft rubber or abrasion-resistant coating, which also prevents the second sealing structure 30 from directly contacting the rigid second skeleton 210 and causing excessive wear.

[0076] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 The second frame 210 has a sealing layer 230 on the side facing the door outer panel assembly 40, and the sealing layer 230 is in sealing contact with the upper edge of the door outer panel assembly 40.

[0077] In this embodiment, the sealing layer 230 can be an elastomer such as rubber, which acts as a flexible medium and fits tightly against the upper edge of the door outer panel assembly 40, thereby achieving efficient sealing and preventing moisture and dust from entering the interior of the door 1. At the same time, the sealing layer 230 can also prevent the second frame 210 from directly contacting the door outer panel assembly 40, which not only improves the reliability of the seal, but also completely eliminates metal friction noise and enhances the quiet riding experience.

[0078] It should be noted that the second skeleton 210, the protective layer 220 and the sealing layer 230 can be set by co-extrusion molding.

[0079] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 The mounting part 10 and the first sealing structure 20 form a clearance space K, and the clearance space K avoids the second sealing structure 30.

[0080] In this embodiment, the clearance space K provides sufficient room for the second sealing structure 30 (such as the wiper lip 310) to avoid the second sealing structure 30 being squeezed and moving during the raising and lowering of the window glass 50, thus avoiding excessive hard compression or scraping with the second frame 210.

[0081] This embodiment can make full use of space, optimize the compactness of the overall structure, and ensure that the second sealing structure 30 can freely fit the window glass 50 to maintain effective sealing and wiping functions.

[0082] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 The first frame 110 has a first surface S3 facing the door outer panel assembly 40, and the second frame 210 is connected to the first surface S3.

[0083] In this embodiment, a specific connection method between the second skeleton 210 and the first skeleton 110 is proposed. Specifically, the first part 211 of the second skeleton 210 can be co-extruded and connected with the first surface S3 of the first skeleton 110.

[0084] Or, refer to Figure 5 In some embodiments, the first frame 110 includes a second surface S4 facing the upper edge of the door outer panel assembly 40 and the window glass 50, and the second frame 210 includes a third part 218 disposed at an angle to the first part 211, the third part 218 being connected to the second surface S4; specifically, a fourth bending point 217 is formed between the third part 218 and the first part 211; the third part 218, the first part 211 and the second part 212 form an avoidance space K that avoids the second sealing structure 30.

[0085] In some embodiments, the mounting portion 10 has a clamping cavity Q for clamping the connecting door outer panel assembly 40.

[0086] In this embodiment, a method for connecting the mounting part 10 to the door outer panel assembly 40 is proposed, namely, a clamping connection, wherein the first frame 110 ensures the transmission of the clamping force of the overall structure to the door outer panel assembly 40.

[0087] In some embodiments, the first frame 110 has a U-shaped structure, and the inner side of the first frame 110 is provided with an abutment layer 120, which forms a clamping cavity Q, and the abutment layer 120 is in sealed contact with the door outer panel assembly 40.

[0088] In this embodiment, the abutment layer 120 may be made of rubber, which cooperates with the inner side of the first frame 110 of the U-shaped structure to ensure maximum clamping of the outer door panel assembly 40 and ensure connection stability.

[0089] In some embodiments, the door outer panel assembly 40 includes a mounting plate 420, and the abutment layer 120 includes a first elastic deformation portion 121 and a second elastic deformation portion 122. The first elastic deformation portion 121 is pressed against one side of the mounting plate 420, and the second elastic deformation portion 122 is pressed against the other side of the mounting plate 420.

[0090] In this embodiment, the abutment layer 120 is provided with a first elastic deformation portion 121 and a second elastic deformation portion 122, which respectively abut against the two sides of the mounting plate 420 of the door outer panel assembly 40. This not only clamps the mounting plate 420, but also adapts to the size of the mounting plate 420, while ensuring the convenience of connection.

[0091] It should be noted that the first skeleton 110, the abutment layer 120, the first sealing structure 20, and the second sealing structure 30 can be co-extruded.

[0092] In some embodiments, the first elastic deformation portion 121 includes a deformation lip; and / or, the second elastic deformation portion 122 includes a deformation protrusion.

[0093] In this embodiment, exemplary structural forms of the first elastic deformation portion 121 and the second elastic deformation portion 122 are proposed, such as deformation lips, deformation protrusions, etc. Of course, they can also be other specific structures, which are not limited in this application.

[0094] Specifically, the deformable lip has excellent elastic properties, which can closely fit the surface of the mounting plate 420 to form a strong resistance. It cooperates with the abutment structure on the other side to form a strong clamping force. In addition, the deformable protrusion adopts a convex contact support, which can increase the frictional resistance while ensuring the uniform distribution of the clamping force, preventing the mounting part 10 from moving relative to the mounting plate 420, and also improving the adaptability to the slight unevenness of the surface of the mounting plate 420.

[0095] Optionally, the deformable lips are spaced in multiple intervals, and / or the deformable protrusions are spaced in multiple intervals, thereby maximizing the effect of ensuring the clamping connection.
