Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a flush door structure with a glass guide rail, belonging to the technical field of automobiles. Background Art

[0002] At present, the outer surface of the car is gradually moving from an uneven structure to a completely smooth surface. There are already many cars on the market with basically flat door glass and B-pillar trim, but various cars use different flush structures, with different assembly complexities and different costs for the entire structure. Manufacturers need to maintain the original flush structure while improving processing and assembly efficiency and reducing processing costs.

[0003] The existing patent 201911256801.3 limits the installation of the rising profile through the main body of the plastic material, and the guide on the window is directly limited by the wire strand. Therefore, the length of the wire strand is relatively long. When installing the door, it needs to be inserted below the waistline of the door sheet metal, which is inconvenient to install and consumes a lot of materials. If the length of the wire strand is reduced, the lower part cannot be effectively slid and sealed.

[0004] In addition, the existing door rails are divided into two sections, one section is installed from the top of the door, and the other section needs to be installed from the position of the door opening in the existing structure to the position below the waistline of the door sheet metal. The installation is inconvenient and inefficient. And because the upper and lower sections of the rails are disconnected, the requirements for the upper and lower positions of the two sections are very high, which further affects the installation efficiency. If the positions of the two sections of the rails are not corresponding, the glass slider will not slide smoothly when sliding in the upper and lower rails. Summary of the invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is: how to improve the processing and assembly efficiency and reduce the processing cost while ensuring the flushness of the vehicle door.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution of the utility model is to provide a flush door structure with a glass guide rail, which is characterized by comprising:

[0007] The door glass is arranged on the side door of the vehicle, and the window opening of the side door is opened and closed as the door glass is raised and lowered;

[0008] A glass slider, which has one side opened in the vehicle width direction and is arranged on the inner side of the door glass edge in the vehicle width direction and extends in the vehicle up-down direction;

[0009] The glass guide rail is arranged on the door sheet metal or the corner window assembly, extends below the waistline of the door sheet metal, and has a recess at one end to limit the glass slider in the width direction and the front-rear direction of the vehicle;

[0010] A glass guide rail sealing strip is arranged in the concave portion of the glass guide rail and forms a concave shape along the concave portion of the glass guide rail, and is limitedly arranged on the outer side of one end of the glass slider;

[0011] The glass run channel sealing strip is arranged on the door sheet metal and extends in the up and down direction of the vehicle. One side located in the width direction of the vehicle abuts against the inner side of the door glass and extends downward over the waistline of the door sheet metal.

[0012] Preferably, a door trim panel is provided on the glass guide rail.

[0013] Preferably, the outer surface of the door trim is flush with the outer surface of the door glass.

[0014] Preferably, the glass guide rail located on the A-pillar or C-pillar trim assembly is arranged on the door sheet metal; the glass guide rail located on the B-pillar trim assembly is arranged on the corner window assembly.

[0015] Preferably, the door glass and the glass slider constitute a door glass assembly, the glass guide rail and the glass guide rail sealing strip constitute a glass guide rail assembly, and the door glass assembly is provided with glass guide rail assemblies on both sides in the front-rear direction of the vehicle.

[0016] Preferably, the glass guide rail assembly has a C-shaped cross section, has a recess in the vehicle width direction, is used to accommodate a glass slider, limits the glass slider in the vehicle front-rear direction and width direction, and extends in the vehicle up-down direction.

[0017] Preferably, the glass guide rail sealing strip is arranged between the glass guide rail and the glass slider.

[0018] Preferably, glass sliders are respectively provided on both sides of the door glass in the front-rear direction of the vehicle.

[0019] Preferably, the glass run channel sealing strip includes a top section of the glass run channel sealing strip, a first vertical section of the glass run channel sealing strip, and a second vertical section of the glass run channel sealing strip. The first vertical section of the glass run channel sealing strip and the second vertical section of the glass run channel sealing strip are respectively connected below both ends of the top section of the glass run channel sealing strip; the first vertical section of the glass run channel sealing strip and the second vertical section of the glass run channel sealing strip respectively extend over the waistline of the door sheet metal and below.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] On the basis of the existing products, the utility model reduces at least four plastic parts, saving the parts cost; by installing the metal glass rail, the limiting strength is improved to prevent the door glass from shaking in all directions. The vertical section of the glass guide groove sealing strip is short, and when the glass is lowered to the bottom, only one-half to two-thirds of the length of the glass edge is supported to realize the up and down sliding of the door glass. Compared with the existing technology, the material cost is saved, and the shortened glass guide groove sealing strip is easy to install.

[0022] The glass guide rail in the utility model extends from the upper side of the door sheet metal waistline to the lower side. When installing the glass guide rail, it can be directly installed from the top of the door to the position below the door sheet metal waistline, and can be installed in one go, thereby improving the installation efficiency.
