Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to an installation structure for a door and window frame trim and a glass guide channel for an automobile. Background Technology

[0002] For example, as disclosed in Patent Documents 1-3, some automobiles use window frame doors that include a roll-formed window frame made from sheet metal. Additionally, as disclosed in Patent Document 4, some automobiles use stamped doors that join an outer door panel to an inner door panel. The outer door panel is integrally formed with the window frame by stamping sheet metal, and the inner door panel is similarly integrally formed by stamping.

[0003] The roll-formed window frames disclosed in Patent Documents 1-3 have a narrower width, while the window frame portion of the stamped car door disclosed in Patent Document 4 has a wider width than the roll-formed window frame. In the case of the roll-formed window frames disclosed in Patent Documents 1-3, the appearance design highlights of the car door are enhanced by installing a door window frame trim on the outer side of the roll-formed window frame.

[0004] In addition, unlike patent documents 1-3, there is a known concealed window frame (roll-formed window frame), which uses glass guide channels to cover the window frame from the outside of the vehicle, thereby enhancing the appearance design of the door (illustrations omitted).

[0005] Existing technical documents Patent documents Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Publication No. 2014-19389 Patent Document 2: Japanese Patent Publication No. 2012-162100 Patent Document 3: Japanese Patent Publication No. 2003-72383 Patent Document 4: Japanese Patent Publication No. 2014-159193 Summary of the Invention

[0006] The technical problem that the invention aims to solve However, when it is desired to install door window frame trim on the outside of the vehicle in order to enhance the appearance design of the stamped door as disclosed in Patent Document 4, the following problems exist: Since the width of the window frame portion is wider than the width of the window frame portion of the window frame of the door with window frame including the roll-formed window frame, the width of the door window frame trim also becomes wider. Compared with the narrower roll-formed window frame, it is difficult to say that the appearance design of the door is more attractive.

[0007] Therefore, it is hoped that by making the window frame portion of the stamped door narrower and installing the door window frame trim on the outside of the vehicle, so as to make it similar to the narrower shape when installing the door window frame trim on a framed door including a roll-formed window frame, the appearance design highlights of the stamped door can be improved.

[0008] This disclosure was made to solve the aforementioned technical problems, and its purpose is to enhance the appearance design of stamped doors.

[0009] Technical solutions for solving technical problems To achieve the above objectives, one aspect of this disclosure is based on an installation structure for a door / window frame trim and a glass guide channel, which is an installation structure for a door / window frame trim and a glass guide channel installed on an automotive door / window frame formed by joining an outer door panel and an inner door panel. A flat portion extending vertically and longitudinally along the vehicle's side is provided on the outer side of the door / window frame. A first locking portion is provided at the upper part of the flat portion, and a second locking portion is provided at the lower part of the flat portion. A flat portion, a first mounting portion, and a second mounting portion are provided on the door / window frame trim. The flat portion is opposite the flat portion from the outer side of the vehicle. The first mounting portion is mounted on the first locking portion at the upper part of the flat portion, and the second mounting portion is mounted on the second locking portion at the lower part of the flat portion.

[0010] A bottom wall, an outer side wall, and an inner side wall are provided on the glass guide channel. The bottom wall is arranged between the door glass and the door window frame. The outer side wall extends downward from the outer end of the bottom wall and the inner side wall extends downward from the inner end of the bottom wall.

[0011] The door and window frame trim has a third mounting portion that extends downward from a position lower than the second mounting portion, and is arranged to contact the outer surface of the outer sidewall of the glass guide channel.

[0012] According to this structure, since the car door and window frame is formed by joining the stamped outer door panel and the stamped inner door panel, a so-called stamped car door is obtained.

[0013] Furthermore, by fitting the first mounting portion of the door window frame trim onto the first locking portion of the door window frame, and fitting the second mounting portion of the door window frame trim onto the second locking portion of the door window frame, the door window frame trim is securely installed on the door window frame. Additionally, a glass guide channel is installed on the door window frame. Moreover, since a third mounting portion is provided on the door window frame trim at a position lower than the second mounting portion, and this third mounting portion is arranged to contact the outer surface of the outer sidewall of the glass guide channel, the outer sidewall of the glass guide channel can be supported by the third mounting portion of the door window frame trim securely installed on the door window frame. Thus, by using a stamped door window frame with a width narrower than before (the same width as a roll-formed door window frame) and a door window frame trim installed on this door window frame, it is possible to prevent the glass guide channel from moving outwards. At the same time, when viewed from the outside of the vehicle, the width of the door window frame trim appears narrower. As a result, the exterior design of stamped car doors has become more appealing.

[0014] Alternatively, a protrusion on the outer side of the vehicle can be provided, protruding outward from the outer surface of the upper end of the outer sidewall of the glass guide channel. In this case, it can be arranged such that an inner side extension surface located on the inner side of the door / window frame trim is formed between the second and third fitting portions, and the outer side protrusion contacts the inner side extension surface. This allows the door / window frame trim to prevent the glass guide channel from moving downward.

[0015] Alternatively, an outer side covering lip can be provided, extending upward from the outer surface of the lower end of the outer sidewall of the glass guide channel. In this case, it can be arranged such that an inner outer side extension surface is formed on the outer surface of the door / window frame trim between the second and third mounting portions, and the outer side covering lip contacts this extension surface. This allows the outer side covering lip to cover the portion of the door / window frame trim lower than the second mounting portion, thus making the door / window frame trim appear narrower. Furthermore, the height difference between the outer surface of the flat portion of the door / window frame trim and the outer side covering lip of the glass guide channel can be minimized.

[0016] Alternatively, the third mounting portion may not be provided within a specified range near the end of the door / window frame trim in the front-rear direction. In other words, the area near the end of the door / window frame trim in the front-rear direction overlaps with the pillar side door panel. By not providing the third mounting portion in the overlapping area with the pillar side door panel, interference between the door / window frame trim and the pillar side door panel can be prevented.

[0017] Alternatively, a decorative strip can be provided on the outer surface of at least the flat portion of the door / window frame trim. With this structure, the decorative strip can be used to decorate the portion visible from the outside of the vehicle, thus further enhancing its aesthetics.

[0018] The effects of the invention As explained above, in the structure disclosed herein, the first and second mounting portions of the door window frame trim are respectively mounted on the first and second locking portions of the door window frame. A third mounting portion extending downwards is provided on the door window frame trim at a position lower than the second mounting portion, and this third mounting portion is arranged to contact the outer surface of the outer sidewall of the glass guide channel. Therefore, by using a stamped door window frame with a width narrower than conventional (the same width as a roll-formed door window frame) and a door window frame trim mounted on it, it is possible to prevent the glass guide channel from moving outwards. Furthermore, at the same time, when viewed from the outside of the vehicle, the width of the door window frame trim appears narrower, thus enhancing the aesthetic design of the stamped door.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following description of preferred embodiments is merely illustrative and is not intended to limit the invention, its application, or its uses.

[0025] Figure 1 This is a left-side view of a vehicle 100, which utilizes the mounting structure A for the door and window frame trim and glass guide channel according to an embodiment of the present invention. The vehicle 100 is a passenger car. A front door 110 and a rear door 120 are provided on the side of the vehicle 100. The front door 110 and the rear door 120 open and close respectively through passenger / passenger openings formed on the side of the vehicle body, which are not shown in the figure.

[0026] Car 100 can be like Figure 1 The sedan-type vehicle shown can also be a hatchback, single-box, or single-row two-door sedan (not shown), and its shape is not particularly limited. Furthermore, the present invention can also be applied to vehicles without a rear door 120. In the following description, the application of the present invention to the front door 110 located on the left side of the vehicle 100 will be described, but the present invention can also be applied to the rear door 120 located on the left side, and also to the front and rear doors (not shown) located on the right side. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the front side of the vehicle 100 is simply referred to as "front," and the rear side of the vehicle 100 is simply referred to as "rear." Additionally, the width direction of the vehicle 100 is the left-right direction.

[0027] The front door 110 includes a door body 111 and a door window frame (automotive door window frame) 112. The door body 111 forms the lower part of the front door 110, and the door window frame 112 is integrally mounted on the upper part of the door body 111. The door window frame 112 is a component that holds the periphery of the door glass G.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, the door window frame 112 is formed by joining a stamped outer door panel 113 and a stamped inner door panel 114. Since the front door 110 includes the door window frame 112 formed by joining a stamped outer door panel 113 and a stamped inner door panel 114, the front door 110 involved in this embodiment is a stamped door.

[0029] The front door 110 includes a door window frame trim 10 and a glass guide channel 20. The door window frame trim 10 and the glass guide channel 20 are installed on the door window frame 112. The structure for installing the door window frame trim 10 and the glass guide channel 20 on the door window frame 112 is the installation structure A of the door window frame trim 10 and the glass guide channel 20.

[0030] The interior side of the door window frame 112 is formed by the door inner panel 114. An upper panel portion 114a is formed on the upper part of the door inner panel 114, extending upwards and in the front-rear direction. A mounting plate portion 114b, extending inwards, is formed on the lower part of the door inner panel 114 below the upper panel portion 114a. An insertion hole 114d for inserting a fixing pin 34 is formed in the middle of the mounting plate portion 114b in the vehicle width direction, penetrating vertically. A curved portion 114c, bulging inwards, is formed on the interior side of the mounting plate portion 114b of the door inner panel 114.

[0031] The outer side of the door window frame 112 is formed by the outer door panel 113. A flat portion 113a is provided on the outer door panel 113, which extends vertically and horizontally. The flat portion 113a extends along the upper portion 114a of the inner door panel 114.

[0032] A first locking portion 113b for mounting the upper part of the upper portion of the door window frame trim 10 is provided on the upper part of the flat portion 113a of the outer door panel 113. A second locking portion 113c for mounting the lower portion of the door window frame trim 10 is provided on the lower part of the flat portion 113a of the outer door panel 113. The portion of the outer door panel 113 located on the inner side of the first locking portion 113b is formed as a folded edge portion 113d, which is bent downwards and overlaps with the inner surface of the upper plate portion 114a of the inner door panel 114. The upper plate portion 114a of the inner door panel 114 is clamped in the inward and outward directions by the flat portion 113a and the folded edge portion 113d of the outer door panel 113, thereby forming a state in which the outer door panel 113 and the inner door panel 114 are joined together.

[0033] The door and window frame trim 10 is a component molded from a material that is harder than the glass guide channel 20, such as a rigid resin material. There are no particular limitations on the rigid resin material; examples include resin materials with added reinforcing materials, such as PP (polypropylene) containing talc or PA (polyamide) containing glass fiber. A flat plate portion 11 is provided on the door and window frame trim 10, extending from the outer side of the vehicle and opposite the flat portion 113a of the outer door panel 113. Like the flat portion 113a of the outer door panel 113, the flat plate portion 11 extends vertically and also longitudinally.

[0034] A first mounting portion 12 is provided on the door window frame trim 10, which is fitted onto the first locking portion 113b of the outer door panel 113 at the upper part of the flat portion 11. The first mounting portion 12 is formed to cover the first locking portion 113b of the outer door panel 113 from above and to wrap around the inner side of the first locking portion 113b. By contacting the downward opening recess of the first mounting portion 12 of the door window frame trim 10 with the first locking portion 113b of the outer door panel 113, the first mounting portion 12 can be fitted with the first locking portion 113b of the outer door panel 113.

[0035] A second mounting portion 13 is provided on the door window frame trim 10, which is fitted onto the second locking portion 113c of the outer door panel 113 at the lower part of the flat portion 11. The second mounting portion 13 is formed to cover the second locking portion 113c of the outer door panel 113 from below and to wrap around the inner side of the second locking portion 113c. By contacting the upward-opening recess of the second mounting portion 13 of the door window frame trim 10 with the second locking portion 113c of the outer door panel 113, the second mounting portion 13 can be fitted with the second locking portion 113c of the outer door panel 113. As a result, the door window frame trim 10 can be firmly fixed to the outer surface of the outer door panel 113 of the door window frame 112.

[0036] The glass guide channel 20 is formed of a rubber-like elastic material such as thermoplastic elastomer or rubber, and is a component located between the door glass G and the door window frame 112 to guide the door glass G and ensure the seal between the door glass G and the door window frame 112. Specifically, a bottom wall 21 is provided on the glass guide channel 20, positioned between the door glass G and the door window frame 112. The bottom wall 21 extends along the mounting plate portion 114b of the inner door panel 114. The upper surface of the bottom wall 21 is arranged to contact the outer side of the lower surface of the mounting plate portion 114b of the inner door panel 114. Therefore, when the door glass G is closed, the bottom wall 21 of the glass guide channel 20 is clamped in the thickness direction between the upper end of the closed door glass G and the lower surface of the mounting plate portion 114b of the inner door panel 114.

[0037] An outer sidewall 22 extending downward from the outer end of the bottom wall 21 is provided on the glass guide channel 20. The outer sidewall 22 extends in the front-rear direction and is located closer to the inner side of the vehicle than the second locking part 113c of the outer door panel 113.

[0038] Here, the order in which the door window frame trim 10 is installed on the outer door panel 113 can be either the same as that described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 1-25918, in which the first fitting part 12 of the door window frame trim 10 is first fitted onto the first locking part 113b of the outer door panel 113, and then the second fitting part 13 of the door window frame trim 10 is fitted onto the second locking part 113c of the outer door panel 113; or the same as that described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 57-55221, in which the second fitting part 13 of the door window frame trim 10 is first fitted onto the second locking part 113c of the outer door panel 113, and then the first fitting part 12 of the door window frame trim 10 is fitted onto the first locking part 113b of the outer door panel 113.

[0039] Alternatively, the door window frame trim 10 can be installed by sliding relative to the door outer panel 113 in the front-rear direction of the vehicle in the same order as described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2019-77440.

[0040] An outer sealing lip 23 extending from the outer sidewall 22 toward the inner side of the vehicle is provided on the glass guide channel 20. The outer sealing lip 23 is the part that slides in contact with the outer surface of the door glass G. By making the outer sealing lip 23 slide in contact with the outer surface of the door glass G, the sealing performance can be improved. The outer sealing lip 23 is curved or tilted in a manner that the closer it is to the inner side of the vehicle, the higher it is.

[0041] An inner sidewall 24 extending downward from the inner end of the bottom wall 21 is provided on the glass guide channel 20. The inner sidewall 24 extends in the front-rear direction and is located closer to the outer side of the vehicle than the insertion hole 114d of the inner door panel 114. The lower side of the inner sidewall 24 extends to a position closer to the bottom than the lower side of the outer sidewall 22. An inner cover lip 24a is provided on the lower side of the inner sidewall 24, which is formed to cover the lower side of the curved portion 114c of the inner door panel 114 from the inside.

[0042] An inner sealing lip 25 extending from the inner sidewall 24 to the outer side of the vehicle is provided on the glass guide channel 20. The inner sealing lip 25 is the part that slides in contact with the inner surface of the door glass G. By making the inner sealing lip 25 slide in contact with the inner surface of the door glass G, the sealing performance can be improved. The inner sealing lip 25 is curved or tilted in a manner that it is closer to the top as it gets closer to the outer side of the vehicle.

[0043] The door window frame trim 10 has a third fitting portion 14 extending downward from a position closer to the lower side than the second fitting portion 13. The third fitting portion 14 is arranged to contact the outer surface of the outer sidewall 22 of the glass guide channel 20. That is, the third fitting portion 14 constitutes the lower part of the door window frame trim 10. An inner extension surface is formed between the second fitting portion 13 and the third fitting portion 14 on the inner surface of the door window frame trim 10. As the inner extension surface, it can be an inner inclined surface 10a that is inclined closer to the inner side as it is closer to the lower side (e.g., Figure 2 As shown), it can also be an inward tilted surface that is closer to the inside of the vehicle as it gets closer to the top (illustration omitted), or it can be a non-tilted extended surface of the inside of the vehicle (illustration omitted).

[0044] Furthermore, an outer side extension surface is formed between the second mounting portion 13 and the third mounting portion 14 on the outer side surface of the door window frame trim 10. This outer side extension surface can be an outer side inclined surface 10b that is inclined towards the inner side of the vehicle as it approaches the lower side (e.g., Figure 2 As shown), it can also be an outer inclined surface that is inclined closer to the vehicle interior as it gets closer to the top (illustration omitted), or it can be a non-inclined outer extended surface (illustration omitted). By forming an inner inclined surface 10a and an outer inclined surface 10b between the second mounting portion 13 and the third mounting portion 14, the third mounting portion 14 can be installed at a position closer to the vehicle interior than the flat portion 11 and the second mounting portion 13.

[0045] An outer side protrusion 22a is provided on the outer sidewall 22 of the glass guide channel 20. The outer side protrusion 22a protrudes outward from the outer surface of the upper end of the outer sidewall 22. The outer side protrusion 22a contacts the inner side inclined surface 10a of the door and window frame trim 10. Since the inner side inclined surface 10a is inclined in such a way that it is closer to the inner side of the vehicle as it gets lower, the outer side protrusion 22a in contact with the inner side inclined surface 10a is difficult to move downward, thus keeping the outer sidewall 22 of the glass guide channel 20 in a predetermined position.

[0046] An outer side cover lip 26 is provided at the lower end of the outer sidewall 22 of the glass guide channel 20. The outer side cover lip 26 extends upward from the outer side surface of the lower end of the outer sidewall 22, and the upper end of the outer side cover lip 26 contacts the outer side inclined surface 10b of the door and window frame trim 10.

[0047] Alternatively, when the decorative strip 15 described later is provided, the upper end of the exterior lip 26 may contact the decorative strip 15. In other words, the upper end of the exterior lip 26 is located below the second mounting portion 13 of the door / window frame trim 10. As a result, the exterior surface of the third mounting portion 14 of the door / window frame trim 10 is covered and not visible by the exterior lip 26.

[0048] In addition, by adjusting the height difference between the flat portion 11 and the third mounting portion 14 of the door and window frame trim 10 in the vehicle width direction and the relationship between the height difference and the wall thickness of the outer side cover lip 26 of the glass guide channel 20, the height difference between the outer surface of the flat portion 11 of the door and window frame trim 10 and the outer side cover lip 26 of the glass guide channel 20 can be minimized as much as possible.

[0049] Furthermore, with the door window frame trim 10 and glass guide channel 20 already installed on the door window frame 112, the third fitting portion 14 of the door window frame trim 10 is inserted into a groove formed between the outer sidewall 22 of the glass guide channel 20 and the outer cover lip 26, and opens upwards. In this state, since the third fitting portion 14 of the door window frame trim 10, which is firmly installed on the outer door panel 113 of the door window frame 112, is made of a hard resin material that is harder than the glass guide channel 20, the outer sidewall 22 of the glass guide channel 20 is maintained in contact with the third fitting portion 14 of the door window frame trim 10. Additionally, the position of the outer cover lip 26 of the glass guide channel 20 in the inward / outward direction is also determined.

[0050] Figure 3 This is a perspective view of the area near the rear end of the door window frame 112 of the front door 110, viewed from the outside of the vehicle. As shown in the figure, the rear and lower side of the door window frame 112 is formed by a pillar side door panel 116 extending in both vertical and longitudinal directions (or a structure in which decorative elements are mounted on the outer surface of the pillar side door panel 116). The position of the pillar side door panel 116 in the inward / outward direction is almost the same as the position of the flat portion 11 of the door window frame trim 10 in the inward / outward direction. On the other hand, the third fitting portion 14 of the door window frame trim 10 is located closer to the inward side of the vehicle than the flat portion 11. Therefore, if the third fitting portion 14 of the door window frame trim 10 is continuously formed to the area near the rear end of the door window frame 112, the third fitting portion 14 will interfere with the pillar side door panel 116.

[0051] To address this issue, in this embodiment, the third mounting portion 14 is not provided within a predetermined range near the rear end of the door / window frame trim 10. In other words, the third mounting portion 14 is removed from the predetermined range from the end cap 16 provided at the rear end of the door / window frame trim 10 to where it disappears from the pillar-side door panel 116. Figure 4As shown, since the upper end of the third mounting portion 14 is integrated with the inner surface of the second mounting portion 13 of the door and window frame trim 10, if the upper end of the third mounting portion 14 is cut off, its cut surface 14a will not be visible from the outside of the vehicle and will not affect the aesthetics of the appearance.

[0052] Furthermore, the portion of the glass guide channel 20 extending to the rear end of the door window frame 112 is formed by an extrusion molding, while the portion of the glass guide channel 20 further rearward is formed by a die-molded portion that curves downward and extends downward along the pillar side door panel 116; detailed explanation of this is omitted. Here, L is the dividing line between the extrusion molding portion and the die-molded portion.

[0053] In addition, such as Figure 2 As shown, a decorative strip 15 is provided on the outer surface of at least the flat portion 11 of the door / window frame trim 10. The decorative strip 15 can be, for example, a strip with a metallic coating, a resin material, or a colored strip; its color, tone, and material are not particularly limited. In this embodiment, the decorative strip 15 is provided on the entire outer surface of the flat portion 11, thus decorating the entire outer surface of the flat portion 11. It should be noted that the decorative strip 15 can be provided as needed or omitted.

[0054] The width (vertical dimension) of the flat portion 11 of the door window frame trim 10 is, for example, about 20mm. The flat portion 11 decorated by the trim strip 15 is a decorative portion, and by narrowing the width of the decorative portion, the door window frame 112 appears thinner.

[0055] The upper part of the decorative strip 15 reaches the upper part of the first mounting portion 12 of the door and window frame trim 10, and the upper part of the first mounting portion 12 is also covered by the decorative strip 15. Furthermore, the lower part of the decorative strip 15 reaches the lower part of the second mounting portion 13 of the door and window frame trim 10, and the lower part of the second mounting portion 13 is also covered by the decorative strip 15. In this way, by using the decorative strip 15 to cover both the upper part of the first mounting portion 12 and the lower part of the second mounting portion 13, the aesthetic appeal is further enhanced. It should be noted that the decorative strip 15 can also be provided to cover only the outer surface of the flat portion 11 of the door and window frame trim 10.

[0056] In addition, such as Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a windshield strip 30 is provided for sealing the front door 110 with the vehicle body. The windshield strip 30 has a fixing plate portion 31 that is fixed to the mounting plate portion 114b of the inner door panel 114 by a fixing pin 34. In addition, the windshield strip 30 also has a hollow sealing portion 32 and an upper sealing lip 33. By making the hollow sealing portion 32 and the upper sealing lip 33 elastically contact the vehicle body, high sealing performance can be obtained.

[0057] (The role and effects of the implementation method) As explained above, in this embodiment, since the car door window frame 112 is formed by joining a stamped outer door panel 113 and a stamped inner door panel 114, the front door 110 is a stamped door. A glass guide groove 20 is installed on the door window frame 112 of the front door 110 obtained in this way. The outer sealing lip 23 of the glass guide groove 20 installed on the door window frame 112 slides in contact with the outer surface of the door glass G, and the inner sealing lip 25 slides in contact with the inner surface of the door glass G.

[0058] Furthermore, according to the mounting structure A of the door and window frame trim 10 and the glass guide channel 20, the door and window frame trim 10 is securely installed on the door and window frame 112 by fitting the first mounting portion 12 of the door and window frame trim 10 onto the first locking portion 113b and fitting the second mounting portion 13 of the door and window frame trim 10 onto the second locking portion 113c. A third mounting portion 14 is provided on the door and window frame trim 10 at a position lower than the second mounting portion 13. This third mounting portion 14 is arranged to contact the outer surface of the outer sidewall 22 of the glass guide channel 20. Therefore, when viewed from the outside of the vehicle, the width of the door and window frame trim 10 appears narrower. This enhances the visual appeal of the front door 110.

[0059] In particular, since the outer surface of the third mounting portion 14 of the door and window frame trim 10 can be covered by the outer side cover lip 26, the width of the door and window frame trim 10 appears narrower.

[0060] The above embodiments are merely illustrative in all respects and should not be construed as limiting. Furthermore, variations and modifications falling within the scope of the patent claims are also within the scope of this invention.

[0061] Industrial practicality In summary, the installation structure of the door and window frame trim and glass guide channel disclosed herein can be applied to, for example, stamped doors of automobiles.
