Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of vehicles, and in particular relates to a sealing structure of a convertible top and a convertible. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of the automobile market, the application of convertibles has gradually increased. Based on the characteristics of convertibles, most of the water on the convertible cloth will be diverted to the space between the body frame and the convertible roof through the convertible cloth, and then flow from the body to the ground; therefore, the sealing between the body frame and the convertible roof is particularly important, otherwise rainwater will penetrate into the body from the space between the body frame and the convertible roof, affecting the user's use.

[0003] The traditional practice is to install a sealing strip between the body frame and the convertible roof. Although this structure enhances the sealing of the roof to a certain extent, it also has certain disadvantages. Specifically, when encountering rainy weather, this design easily causes rainwater to be retained in the tiny gaps between the body frame, the convertible roof and the sealing strip. The retained rainwater may not only penetrate into the car, causing the interior to become damp and moldy, affecting ride comfort and air quality in the car, but may also corrode the body frame, accelerate the aging process of the vehicle, increase maintenance costs, and even affect the overall performance and safety of the vehicle. Therefore, it is necessary to make improvements. Utility Model Content

[0006] As one aspect of the utility model, a sealing structure for a convertible roof is provided, which comprises: a first sealing member connected to the periphery of a roof frame, and when the convertible roof is in a closed state, the first sealing member is pressed against the vehicle body;

[0007] and a second sealing member connected to an edge of the awning cloth, the second sealing member being detachably connected to the first sealing member;

[0008] A frame groove is formed on the roof frame, and the first sealing member is connected to the frame groove.

[0009] Furthermore, the first seal includes a first seal body, a first connection portion is formed on the upper portion of the first seal body, the first connection portion is connected to the framework groove, a first side wing is formed on the outer side of the first seal body, and a plug-in groove is formed on the first side wing.

[0010] Furthermore, an auxiliary support block is formed on the outer side of the first sealing member body, and the auxiliary support block is located below the first side wing; when the convertible top is in a closed state, the bottom of the auxiliary support block fits with the vehicle body.

[0011] Furthermore, the cross-section of the second sealing member is K-shaped.

[0012] Furthermore, the second seal includes a second seal body, the second seal body is formed with a second side wing plugged into the plug-in groove, the second seal body is formed with abutment side wings, and when the second seal is connected to the first seal, the abutment side wings abut against the outer side of the auxiliary support block.

[0013] Furthermore, at least one hollow through hole is provided on the first sealing member body.

[0014] As another aspect of the present invention, a convertible is provided, which comprises the sealing structure of the convertible roof as described above.

[0015] The sealing structure of the convertible top and the convertible of the utility model have beneficial effects, which are specifically embodied in: simple structure, convenient installation and strong practicality; when the second sealing member is connected to the first sealing member, the convertible cloth of the convertible top is located on the outside of the joint between the convertible top and the vehicle body, so that the flow point of rainwater falling from the convertible top is not at the joint between the convertible top and the vehicle body, thereby preventing water from entering the vehicle body through the joint between the convertible top and the vehicle body.
