[0002] The front end of the front door sill of the vehicle is not designed with a limiting structure along the door sill disengagement direction. The door sill is easily separated from the sealing strip after being stressed, resulting in a large gap. In order to solve this problem, Figure 1-3 As shown, in the related art, a sheet metal bracket is added to fix and limit. Although this sheet metal bracket can solve the problem of the door sill coming out, the sheet metal bracket needs to be installed on the inside of the car body by welding, and the assembly process is relatively complicated. In addition, the cost and weight of the whole vehicle will also increase accordingly. In addition to the increase in the cost and weight of the sheet metal bracket itself, the tooling fixtures often cost tens of thousands of yuan or even more expensive. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the utility model provides a threshold trim plate limit card, a door assembly and a vehicle to solve the problem that the sheet metal bracket limit mode requires welding assembly and the assembly process is relatively complicated.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0053] Combine the following Figure 4-Figure 10 , describing an embodiment of the utility model.

[0054] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, on the one hand, as Figure 4-Figure 7 As shown, a threshold trim limit card 1 is provided, comprising:

[0055] The engaging portion 11 has an engaging groove 111 adapted to the thickness of the door opening sheet metal 2;

[0056] The limiting portion 12 is formed by extending and bending the end of the locking portion 11, and when the locking portion 11 is locked at the stop position of the door opening sheet metal 2, the limiting portion 12 can limit the sill trim 3 in the disengagement direction of the sill trim 3 to prevent it from detaching from the sealing strip 4.

[0057] The threshold trim limit card 1 is clamped at the stop position of the door opening sheet metal 2 through the clamping part 11, and the limiting part 12 can limit the threshold trim 3 in the direction of the threshold trim 3 to prevent it from being separated from the sealing strip 4, thereby achieving reliable limiting. Moreover, the threshold trim limit card 1 is directly installed by clamping, which is simple to assemble and can be operated quickly and conveniently by one person. Compared with the method of welding the sheet metal bracket 100 in the related art, it greatly improves the convenience of assembly, has high assembly efficiency, and is also convenient for maintenance and replacement. Moreover, since there is no need to use tooling and fixtures, the cost of tooling and fixtures can also be saved, greatly reducing costs. In addition, the threshold trim limit card 1 has low matching requirements for peripheral parts, can be used in multiple car models, and has a high commonality rate.

[0058] In one embodiment, the threshold trim limiter 1 is a clip formed by bending a metal sheet.

[0059] The metal sheet is bent to form the clip, the molding process is simple, and the one-piece bending molding method has high strength and rigidity, high reliability and long service life.

[0060] Specifically, an iron clip can be used as the threshold trim plate limit clip 1, which has a low cost.

[0061] In one embodiment, the thickness of the metal sheet is in the range of 0.3 mm to 0.7 mm.

[0062] The thickness of the metal sheet used to make the threshold trim limiter 1 is in the range of 0.3 mm to 0.7 mm. Compared with the sheet metal bracket 100 with a thickness greater than or equal to 1 mm in the related art, it is light in weight and has a correspondingly lower cost. Moreover, the thin metal sheet is also easy to bend and shape.

[0063] In this embodiment, the thickness of the iron sheet is selected to be 0.5 mm. Compared with the 1 mm thick sheet metal bracket 100, it is very light, the weight increase of the whole vehicle is very small, and the thinner sheet is easier to bend and shape, and the cost of the iron clip itself is also lower.

[0064] In one embodiment, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the cross section of the engaging portion 11 is an inverted U-shape; the limiting portion 12 includes a horizontal section 121 and an inclined section 122 extending obliquely upward in a direction away from the engaging portion 11 , and the horizontal section 121 is connected to the engaging portion 11 .

[0065] The cross section of the engaging portion 11 is an inverted U-shape. The engaging groove 111 formed in the middle of the U-shape is convenient for matching with the stopper of the door opening sheet metal 2, and the connection reliability is high, and it is not easy to fall out, which can ensure effective limit. The setting of the horizontal section 121 facilitates the inclined section 122 of the limiting portion 12 to extend to the position of limiting and blocking the threshold trim 3. The inclined section 122 is adapted to the shape of the threshold trim 3, which is also convenient for installation and limit. The state of the engaging portion 11 matching with the stopper of the door opening sheet metal 2 can be seen in FIG. Fig. 9 .

[0066] In one embodiment, a protruding structure 1221 protruding toward the engaging portion 11 is formed in the middle of the inclined section 122 .

[0067] The protruding structure 1221 formed in the middle of the inclined section 122 and facing the engaging portion 11 can be engaged with the opening 21 on the door sill trim 3, thereby further improving the reliability of the limiting function.

[0068] In one embodiment, the limiting portion 12 is closely attached to the door sill trim 3 .

[0069] See also Fig.10 The limiting portion 12 is close to and fits against the threshold trim panel 3 . Since it is a sheet-like structure, it occupies almost no space, so it is convenient to lay out wiring or other peripheral parts in the space below the threshold trim panel 3 .

[0070] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, on the other hand, a vehicle door assembly is also provided, comprising:

[0071] Door opening sheet metal 2;

[0072] Door sill trim 3;

[0073] Sealing strip 4;

[0074] The threshold trim plate limiter 1 is installed at the stopper of the door opening sheet metal 2 through the snap-fit ​​groove 111, and the sealing strip 4 is snap-fitted and covered on the snap-fit ​​portion 11 and the upper part of the door opening sheet metal 2; the limiter 12 is located on the side of the threshold trim plate 3 away from the snap-fit ​​portion 11. Figure 8 .

[0075] Since the vehicle door assembly includes the threshold trim plate limiter 1 of the present invention, it has the same technical effect as the threshold trim plate limiter 1, which is not described in detail here. Since the threshold is not easily separated from the sealing strip 4 after being stressed, there will be no large gap, no dust accumulation, and the appearance can be ensured to be beautiful.

[0076] In one embodiment, the threshold trim plate 3 has an opening 21 , the middle section of the limiting portion 12 has a protruding structure 1221 , and the threshold trim plate limiting card 1 is clamped in the opening 21 through the protruding structure 1221 .

[0077] A protruding structure 1221 is provided at the middle section of the limiting portion 12 corresponding to the opening 21 of the threshold trim 3, so that the connection reliability between the threshold trim limiting card 1 and the threshold trim 3 is higher, and it is not easy to be misplaced or loosened, thereby further improving the limiting reliability.

[0078] The iron clip provided as the threshold trim limiter 1 in the embodiment of the utility model is easy to install, and a single person can quickly insert the iron clip into the sheet metal stop, which saves a welding process compared to the sheet metal bracket 100 in the related art. Moreover, compared with the sheet metal bracket 100, the iron clip is thinner, smaller, lighter, and less expensive, thus saving costs. In addition, it has low requirements for environmental parts, and can be matched and used in all vehicle models; it can make good use of its own strength and toughness to limit the threshold trim 3 in the Y direction to prevent the trim from moving in the Y direction after being stressed. The iron clip is small in size and designed close to the sealing strip 4, so it occupies little space and increases the wiring harness layout space, with a compact structure.

[0079] The assembly process of the threshold trim plate limit card 1 (iron clip) of the utility model is as follows:

[0080] After welding the door opening sheet metal 2, a sheet metal groove is reserved;

[0081] Before assembling the sealing strip 4, the operator needs to insert the iron clip into the sheet metal groove, and the top of the clip fits the sheet metal;

[0082] In the same way as conventional sealing strip 4 is inserted into sheet metal, the sealing strip 4 is inserted into the iron clip, and the iron clip and sheet metal are tightly wrapped and compacted;

[0083] Insert the front end of the threshold trim panel 3 into the instrument panel cover, then rotate and assemble, and slowly slide the side support point of the trim panel through the guide surface of the iron clip and into the "U"-shaped stop groove of the iron clip, and then install other installation points. At this time, the "Y" limit of the threshold trim panel 3 has been formed.

[0084] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, in yet another aspect, a vehicle is provided, comprising any one of the above door assemblies.

[0085] Since the vehicle includes the door assembly of the present invention, it has the same technical effects as the door assembly, which will not be described in detail here.

[0086] In one embodiment, the limiting point of the threshold trim limiter 1 is located on a side of the threshold trim 3 close to the sealing strip 4 , and a wiring harness arrangement space is formed below the threshold trim 3 .

[0087] The limiting point of the threshold trim limit card 1 is located on the side of the threshold trim 3 close to the sealing strip 4. Compared with the method in the related art where the limiting point of the sheet metal bracket 100 is located next to the leg of the threshold trim 3 and occupies the wiring harness layout space, it does not occupy the wiring harness layout space, does not need to change the original wiring layout structure, reduces the trouble caused by rewiring, and saves time and labor costs.

[0088] Although the embodiments of the present invention are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art may make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations are all within the scope defined by the appended claims.
