Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of automotive ventilation devices, and particularly relates to a main frame of a roof vent for buses. Background Art

[0002] The roof vent for vehicles is used for ventilation and air exchange of the vehicle. The air inside the vehicle is discharged outside through the roof vent, thereby achieving the effect of air exchange.

[0003] Currently, the main frames of roof vents on buses are mostly made of cold plate materials. The main frame made of this kind of cold plate material has high strength, but there are also problems such as complex processing. Considering cost control and production processes, the general structure of this kind of main frame is simple.

[0004] When installing the main frame of the roof vent, it needs to be sealed with the vehicle body and the roof vent cover respectively to prevent water leakage and air leakage. Since the main frame made of cold plate material has a simple structure, butyl sealant is mainly used for filling when the main frame made of cold plate material is sealed with the vehicle body. If the filling is not in place, additional silicone sealant is required around the main frame made of cold plate material. This leads to problems such as long operation time, low sealing efficiency, and easy seal failure in the sealing between the main frame of the roof vent and the vehicle body. When the main frame made of cold plate material is sealed with the roof vent cover, the sealing strip is generally glued to the main frame. This installation method of the sealing strip has problems such as easy aging and easy falling off of the bonding. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned technical problems of low sealing efficiency and easy aging of the sealing method existing in the main frame of the roof vent for vehicles, the utility model uses extruded aluminum alloy as the main material, designs and adds an installation groove for the sealing strip on the main frame, and integrates two kinds of sealing strips on the main frame, improving the efficiency and quality of the sealing assembly between the main frame and the cover and the vehicle body.

[0006] The utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A main frame of a roof vent for buses, the main frame includes main beam segments and reinforcing ribs, and both ends of the reinforcing ribs are fixedly connected to the main beam segments respectively; at the connection between the main beam segments and the reinforcing ribs, there are a cover seal groove and a body seal groove, and a cover sealing strip and a body sealing strip are respectively arranged in the cover seal groove and the body seal groove.

[0008] Further, the main frame is extrusion-molded, the material of the main frame is aluminum alloy, and the end face thickness of the main frame is 1.5 mm ± 0.1 mm.

[0009] Further, both the cover seal groove and the body seal groove include a seal cavity, and a limiting beam is arranged at the opening of the seal cavity.

[0010] Further, the roof seal strip includes a roof foaming layer and a roof mounting layer. The material of the roof foaming layer is foamed ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), and the material of the roof mounting layer is EPDM. The Shore hardness of the EPDM is 65° to 70°.

[0011] Further, the roof mounting layer includes a semi-circular seal cover part and a rectangular seal neck part. The seal cover part is placed in the seal cavity of the roof seal groove, and the seal neck part is placed at the limiting beam of the roof seal groove.

[0012] Further, the body seal strip includes a body foaming layer and a body mounting layer. The material of the body foaming layer is foamed EPDM, and the material of the body mounting layer is EPDM. The Shore hardness of the EPDM is 65° to 70°.

[0013] Further, the body mounting layer is placed in the seal cavity of the body seal groove. The body mounting layer is provided with a mounting groove for placing the limiting beam of the body seal groove.

[0014] Advantages of the present utility model compared with the prior art:

[0015] 1. In combination with the problems existing in the existing main frame of the top wind window, the present utility model first makes an innovative attempt on the main frame material.

[0023] As Figures 1-4 shown, the present utility model discloses a main frame of a top wind window for a passenger car, wherein the main frame 1 includes a main beam section 110 and a reinforcing rib 120. The reinforcing rib 120 is used to strengthen the main beam section 110 to ensure that the main beam section 110 does not deform after being bent. Both ends of the reinforcing rib 120 are respectively connected to the main beam section 110, and a cavity is formed between the reinforcing rib 120 and the main beam section 110.

[0024] A top cover sealing groove 130 and a body sealing groove 140 are provided at the joint where the main beam section 110 is fixedly connected to the reinforcing rib 120. A top cover sealing strip 2 and a body sealing strip 3 are respectively provided in the top cover sealing groove 130 and the body sealing groove 140. Such a setting can integrate the top cover sealing strip 2 and the body sealing strip 3 on the main frame, ensuring the sealing assembly quality and efficiency of the main frame with the top cover and the body of the top wind window.

[0025] Both the top cover sealing groove 130 and the body sealing groove 140 include a sealing cavity, and a limiting beam is provided at the opening of the sealing cavity. The sealing cavity is used to place the sealing strip, and the limiting beam is used to hold the sealing strip to prevent it from falling off.

[0026] In the present utility model, the top cover sealing strip 2 includes a top cover foaming layer 210 and a top cover mounting layer 220.

The material of the body foaming layer 310 is foamed EPDM, which adopts closed-cell foaming and has a rebound rate greater than 80%. The material of the body mounting layer 320 is EPDM. The Shore hardness of the EPDM used for the top cover mounting layer 220 and the body mounting layer 320 is 65° - 70°.

[0027] The top cover mounting layer 220 includes a semi-circular sealing cover part 2210 and a rectangular sealing neck 2220. The sealing cover part 2210 is placed in the sealing cavity of the top cover sealing groove 130, and the sealing neck 2220 is placed at the limiting beam of the top cover sealing groove 130.

[0028] The vehicle body mounting layer 320 is placed in the sealing cavity of the vehicle body sealing groove 140. The vehicle body mounting layer 320 is provided with a mounting groove 3210 for placing the limiting beam of the vehicle body sealing groove 140.

[0029] In the present utility model, the main frame 1 is made of aluminum alloy material. After being extruded and formed, it is bent by a bending device into a semi-finished main frame, and then made into the main frame 1 through laser welding. The cross-sectional thickness of the main frame 1 is 1.5 mm ± 0.1 mm.
