[0034] Here, the exemplary embodiments will be described in detail, and the examples are shown in the drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present application. On the contrary, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0035] As described in the background art, the front door triangular window (also known as the front triangular window) of a vehicle can avoid the side blind area caused by excessive inclination of the front windshield, thereby increasing the driver's field of vision. At the same time, the glass guide rail on the triangular window can assist the glass in lifting and lowering operations.

[0036] The relative position between the triangular window component and the inner door panel assembly requires high precision. When connecting the triangular window component and the inner door panel assembly, it is inconvenient for the operator to position their relative positions. One operator needs to manually assist in adjusting the position of the triangular window component, and another person fixes the triangular window component on the inner door panel assembly, wasting time and labor costs, and the work efficiency is low.

[0037] Based on the above related descriptions, in one or more embodiments of the present application, an inner door panel assembly is provided, which will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] As Figures 1 to 6 shown, the inner door panel assembly in the embodiment of the present application includes a corner window assembly 100 and an inner panel body 200.

[0039] The corner window assembly 100 includes a corner window sheet metal 101 and a glass guide rail 102 connected to the corner window sheet metal 101; the inner panel body 200 includes an installation cavity 201 with an opening, and the glass guide rail 102 is installed in the installation cavity 201 through the opening; a bent clamping portion 202 is provided near the opening of the inner panel body 200, and the corner window sheet metal 101 is provided with an installation portion 103. When the glass guide rail 102 extends into the installation cavity 201, the clamping portion 202 cooperates with the installation portion 103 for clamping, so as to form a pre-positioning of the corner window assembly 100 and the inner panel body 200 in the height direction of the vehicle.

[0040] It can be seen from the above description that in the inner door panel assembly of the embodiment of the present application, since a bent clamping portion 202 is provided near the opening of the inner panel body 200, and the corner window sheet metal 101 is provided with an installation portion 103. When the glass guide rail 102 extends into the installation cavity 201, the clamping portion 202 cooperates with the installation portion 103 for clamping, so as to form a pre-positioning of the corner window assembly 100 and the inner panel body 200 in the height direction of the vehicle. The corner window assembly 100 and the inner panel body 200 form a pre-positioning, which can simplify the installation process of the glass guide rail 102, reduce the adjustment action of the position of the corner window assembly 100 during the installation process, thereby saving the assembly time. At the same time, it can also ensure that the corner window assembly 100 can be accurately positioned during installation, improving the assembly accuracy.

[0041] Here, by way of example, the inner panel body 200 in the embodiments of the present application generally includes a door inner panel, a reinforcing plate connected to the door inner panel, a bumper beam, and other corresponding door accessories. The inner panel and the reinforcing plate of the door jointly enclose an installation cavity 201 for accommodating the glass guide rail 102. The components on this part of the inner panel body 200 can be set with reference to the door inner panel in the related art, which will not be elaborated hereinafter. The reinforcing plate and the inner panel can be press-fitted to form a hemming 300, and setting the hemming 300 can improve the aesthetics and sealing effect.

[0042] In addition, the corner window sheet metal 101 in the corner window assembly 100 is used for adhesively fixing the triangular window glass, and the glass guide rail 102 is used for assisting the lifting and lowering movement of the door glass.

[0043] In the embodiments of the present application, the orientation words such as "front", "rear", "upper", and "lower" mentioned are described with reference to the vehicle body orientation. Taking Figure 2 the shown direction as an example, Figure 2 when the corner window assembly 100 and the inner panel body 200 are assembled, the corner window assembly 100 extends downward along the height direction into the installation cavity 201.

[0044] In some embodiments, the clamping portion 202 bends towards the inside of the installation cavity 201 and extends into the inside of the installation cavity 201, and the installation portion 103 is a slot protruding along the thickness direction of the corner window sheet metal 101.

[0045] In the above embodiments, as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the clamping portion 202 is arranged at the opening end of the installation cavity 201 of the inner panel body 200. The free end of the clamping portion 202 bends towards the inside of the installation cavity 201 and extends into the inside of the installation cavity 201, so that its cross-sectional structure is a bend with a certain included angle. Therefore, the bending of the free end of the clamping portion 202 can also play a role in guiding the corner window assembly 100 into the installation cavity 201. During the displacement of the corner window sheet metal 101 towards the installation cavity 201, the installation portion 103 will be guided by the clamping portion 202 to form a clamping fit, thereby constituting the pre-positioning of the corner window assembly 100.

[0046] Exemplarily, the width of the snap-in part 202 is 8 - 9 mm, and the length of the snap-in part 202 extending into the installation cavity 201 is 2 - 4 mm. The width of the snap-in part 202 refers to the distance that the snap-in part 202 extends along the vehicle body width direction. The width of the snap-in part 202 can be set to 8 mm, 8.5 mm, or 9 mm to reduce the occupied space while ensuring sufficient structural strength. The length of the snap-in part 202 extending into the installation cavity 201 refers to the length of the snap-in part 202 entering the installation cavity 201 after being bent. The longer the length of the snap-in part 202 entering the installation cavity 201, the greater the intrusion impact on the installation cavity 201 and the easier it is to interfere with the corner window assembly 100. Therefore, the length of the snap-in part 202 extending into the installation cavity 201 can be set to 2 mm, 3 mm, or 4 mm. This setting can ensure snap-fit cooperation with the installation part 103 and avoid affecting the installation of the corner window assembly 100.

[0047] As Figure 6 shown, the installation part 103 in the above embodiment is a slot protruding along the thickness direction of the corner window sheet metal 101. This slot is a one-way open slot with one end closed and the other end opening downward. After the installation part 103 is blocked and snap-fitted by the snap-in part 202, the corner window assembly 100 is limited from moving downward in the height direction and is thus hooked on the inner panel body 200, facilitating subsequent fixed assembly operations.

[0048] As Figure 2 shown, in some embodiments, when the corner window assembly 100 and the inner panel body 200 are pre-positioned, at least part of the corner window sheet metal 101 is located in the installation cavity 201, and the corner window sheet metal 101 located in the installation cavity 201 is connected to the inner panel body 200.

[0049] Further, as Figure 6 shown, the corner window sheet metal 101 includes a sheet metal body 1011 and an avoidance part 1012 bent relative to the sheet metal body 1011. The avoidance part 1012 is used to extend into the installation cavity 201 and fit and connect with the inner panel body 200.

[0050] The above avoidance part 1012 and the sheet metal body 1011 are integrally formed. The avoidance part 1012 is formed by a stamping process, and the cross-section of the avoidance part 1012 is "Z"-shaped. On the one hand, during the downward movement, the avoidance part 1012 can minimize the interference friction with the snap-in part 202 as much as possible, and after the snap-in part 202 and the installation part 103 are snap-fitted, it fits on the inner panel body 200 to facilitate subsequent fixed connection operations. On the other hand, the bending setting of the avoidance part 1012 also enhances the overall structural strength of the corner window sheet metal 101.

[0051] As Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the corner window sheet metal 101 and the inner panel body 200 are connected by a first fastener that is commonly penetrated, and the glass guide rail 102 and the inner panel body 200 are connected by a second fastener that is commonly penetrated.

[0052] Here, the first fastener and the second fastener can be connected by bolts, screws and other connecting parts. At least two first projection welding nuts are arranged at intervals on the side of the corner window sheet metal 101 away from the clamping part 202, and the first projection welding nut is used to be threadedly connected with the first fastener; at least one second projection welding nut is arranged on the side of the glass guide rail 102 away from the clamping part 202, and the second projection welding nut is used to be threadedly connected with the second fastener.

[0053] Generally, the first projection welding nut and the corner window sheet metal 101, and the second projection welding nut and the glass guide rail 102 are connected by resistance spot welding. The projection welding nut can provide a stable and reliable fixing point for the first fastener and the second fastener, thereby ensuring a firm connection between the corner window sheet metal 101 and the inner panel body 200, and between the glass guide rail 102 and the inner panel body 200.

[0054] A mounting guide plate for fixing the glass guide rail 102 is disposed at the side end of the glass guide rail 102 , the projection welding nut is disposed on the mounting guide plate, and the mounting guide plate is connected to the inner panel body 200 so that the glass guide rail 102 is fixed on the inner panel body 200 .

[0055] In the above embodiment, a first positioning hole 203 for the first fastener to pass through and a second positioning hole 204 for the second fastener to pass through are provided on the inner panel body 200, wherein the second positioning hole 204 is an oblong hole, a first mounting hole 104 corresponding to the first positioning hole 203 is provided on the corner window sheet metal 101, and a second mounting hole 105 corresponding to the second positioning hole 204 is provided on the glass guide rail 102.

[0056] Exemplarily, the first mounting hole 104 and the second mounting hole 105 are both round holes with an inner diameter of 6 mm. The first positioning hole 203 is a round hole with an inner diameter of 6.2 mm, the first projection welding nut is an M6 type nut, and the second positioning hole 204 is an oblong hole extending along the height direction of the vehicle body, and the size of the second positioning hole 204 is 6.2*8.2 mm.

[0057] During assembly, the clamping portion 202 and the mounting portion 103 can be clamped together to form a pre-position, and then the operator passes the first fastener through the first positioning hole 203 to fix the corner window sheet metal 101, and adjusts the position of the glass guide rail 102 and passes the second fastener through the second positioning hole 204 to fix the glass guide rail 102. Setting the second positioning hole 204 as an oblong hole can compensate and eliminate the assembly error when the corner window assembly 100 enters the mounting cavity 201, and prevent the first fastener or the second fastener from being misaligned when the corner window assembly 100 is fixed to the inner panel body 200 and cannot be assembled.

[0058] As an alternative embodiment, there are two first positioning holes 203 arranged at intervals. The first positioning holes 203 are arranged corresponding to the first projection welding nuts. One of the first positioning holes 203 is an oblong hole extending along the length direction of the vehicle body. The size of the first positioning hole 203 is 8.2 * 6.2 mm, and the other first positioning hole 203 is a round hole with an inner diameter of 6.2 mm.

[0059] During assembly, first, a pre-positioning can be formed through the snap-fit between the snap-fit portion 202 and the mounting portion 103. Subsequently, an operator passes one of the first fasteners through the round hole for fixation. After adjusting the lateral position of the corner window sheet metal 101, the corner window sheet metal 101 is fixed by passing another first fastener through the oblong hole. This setting further compensates for the errors during the assembly and fixation of the corner window sheet metal 101.

[0060] In the embodiment of the present application, the corner window assembly 100 and the door inner panel body 200 are connected by the first fasteners and the second fasteners. Compared with the related art where the corner window assembly 100 is directly spot-welded or riveted to the inner panel body 200, it is more convenient for subsequent repair and replacement of the corner window assembly 100. At the same time, the use of special welding jigs is reduced during the assembly process, which is convenient for the operator to assemble.

[0061] The embodiment of the present application further provides a vehicle, including an outer door panel and a door inner panel assembly as described in any one of the above embodiments.

[0062] Since the vehicle in the embodiment of the present application includes the door inner panel assembly of any one of the embodiments, it has all the advantages of the door inner panel assembly.

[0063] In the embodiment of the present application, the outer door panel and the door inner panel assembly are press-fitted and connected to form a door sub-assembly, and the corner window assembly 100 is arranged on the door sub-assembly.

[0064] During the press-fitting connection, a hemming 300 will be formed between the door inner panel assembly and the outer door panel to improve the aesthetics and sealing effect. In the related art, for a frameless hidden inner water cut door structure, when the door inner panel assembly is connected to the outer door panel, especially near the water cut corner window, it will be affected by the part size of the corner window glass guide rail 102, which will interfere with the normal connection. During long-term driving, there is a risk that the door inner panel assembly and the outer door panel will come apart near the corner window assembly 100.

[0065] By arranging the corner window assembly 100 on the door sub-assembly, the door inner panel assembly is first press-fitted and connected to the outer door panel, and the hemming equipment can complete the press-fitting connection operation without being affected by the corner window assembly 100, thereby making the connection between the door inner panel assembly and the outer door panel stable.

[0066] Those skilled in the art will readily conceive of other embodiments of the present application after considering the specification and practicing the utility model disclosed herein. The present application is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the present application, which follow the general principles of the present application and include well-known knowledge or conventional technical means in the technical field not disclosed in the present application. The specification and examples are only regarded as exemplary, and the true scope and spirit of the present application are pointed out by the following claims.

[0067] It should be understood that the present application is not limited to the exact structures described above and shown in the drawings, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from its scope. The scope of the present application is only limited by the appended claims.
