Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of automobile parts, and in particular to a tailgate sealing strip water retaining assembly. Background Art
[0002] As a critical sealing component, the technological development of automotive tailgate sealing strips has been closely tied to the advancement of the automotive industry. Sealing strip design has evolved from simple to complex. Early designs primarily featured a single cross-section, providing only basic sealing functionality. With the application of computer-aided design (CAD), sealing strip cross-section design has become increasingly refined. The emergence of multi-cavity structures has significantly improved sealing effectiveness and sound insulation. Furthermore, the introduction of bionic design concepts has also provided new inspiration for sealing strips. For example, a sealing lip design that mimics the structure of fish scales can reduce the force required to open and close the door while maintaining a tight seal.
[0003] This application specifically relates to a water-retaining sealing strip assembly for a rear door. Related prior art, such as the Chinese patent application "A Car Rear Door Sealing Strip," application number CN200720124877.7, discloses that the strip comprises a rubber base with a metal skeleton and a tubular elastic compression head. Viewed from a cross-section, the base has a door-shaped body, with an arc-shaped pressure arm on one side and a pressure foot extending outward from the lower end of the other side. The pressure arm and pressure foot reduce the gap between the back door and the interior trim panel, improving sealing performance. Furthermore, within the door-shaped body, facing strips are arranged to hold the door frame in place. There are at least two strips per side, ensuring a more secure fit and further enhancing waterproofing. A buffer strip is located at the top of the door-shaped body to effectively cushion the door frame during closing. With this structural improvement, the rear door sealing strip effectively improves its sealing performance, while also providing greater elasticity and cushioning properties, ensuring easy door closing.
[0004] The existing tailgate sealing strip is assembled on the tailgate sheet metal, leaving a visible gap. This assembly method has drawbacks in terms of appearance and water diversion. Given the increasing demands on appearance, quality, and performance in the current automotive industry, a new tailgate sealing strip with a simple structure is needed to address the shortcomings of the previous technology.

[0006] The technical solution adopted in this application is: a back door sealing strip water retaining assembly, including a sealing strip, a stop sheet metal and a stop decorative plate, the sealing strip includes a base member with a U-shaped cross-section, the first stop sheet metal portion is inserted into the base member and clamped with the base member, the end of the stop decorative plate is close to one side of the base member, and there is a gap between the end face of the stop decorative plate and one side of the base member, and a water retaining rib extending toward one side of the stop decorative plate is provided on one side of the base member, and the water retaining rib blocks the gap between the end face of the stop decorative plate and one side of the base member.
[0007] Compared with the prior art, the advantage of the present application is that, by designing a base member with a U-shaped cross-section, the first stopper sheet metal portion is inserted into the base member and snapped into engagement with the base member, thereby achieving stable installation of the sealing strip at the stopper sheet metal. The sealing strip is installed into the stopper sheet metal and covered with a stopper trim. At this time, there is a gap between the end face of the stopper trim and one side of the base member. The present application designs a base member with a water retaining rib extending toward one side of the stopper trim on one side, and the water retaining rib blocks the gap between the end face of the stopper trim and one side of the base member. The end face of the stopper trim is placed under the water retaining rib of the sealing strip, obstructing the resulting visual gap. The present application optimizes the appearance problem caused by the matching gap without affecting the installation by structurally designing the water retaining assembly of the tailgate sealing strip. At the same time, the water retaining rib plays a role in blocking and guiding water during car washing in the rain, minimizing the contact between the sealing surface of the sealing strip and water, thereby better improving the sealing performance.
[0008] In some embodiments of the present application, the base member includes a bottom strip, and a first side strip and a second side strip connected to both sides of the bottom strip, and there is a gap between the end surface of the stop trim and the second side strip.
[0009] In some embodiments of the present application, the water retaining rib is formed by a bottom strip extending outward, and a side surface of the water retaining rib close to the stop trim is adapted to the structure of the stop trim.
[0010] Specifically, the end portion of the stop decorative plate is bent toward the side of the stop sheet metal, and the side surface of the water retaining rib close to the stop decorative plate is an inwardly concave curved surface.
[0011] The structural setting of the above-mentioned water retaining rib can, on the one hand, adapt well to the structure of the end of the stop decorative plate and block the gap there very well; on the other hand, it can effectively increase the structural strength of the connection between the water retaining rib and the base member, reduce the bending of the water retaining rib under stress, and improve the water retaining and water guiding function of the product.
[0012] In some embodiments of the present application, one end of the second side strip is connected to the bottom strip and the water retaining rib, and the other end of the second side strip extends outward and bends to form a presser foot, and the presser foot is in contact with the stop sheet metal.
[0013] In some embodiments of the present application, the cross section of the presser foot is an arc-shaped structure that bends back toward the first side strip, and the end of the presser foot is in contact with the stop sheet metal. The presser foot structure with the above structure can achieve better anti-bending and warping effects.
[0014] In some embodiments of the present application, the first side strip is provided with at least two first sealing lips on the side facing the stop sheet metal, and the second side strip is provided with at least two second sealing lips on the side facing the stop sheet metal, and the first sealing lips and the second sealing lips act on the stop sheet metal.

[0016] In the present application, by adding a recess at the root of the second sealing lip, the problem of excessive resistance to inserting the stopper sheet metal can be better alleviated.
[0017] In some embodiments of the present application, an arc-shaped pressure arm is provided on the outer side of the first side strip, and the cross section of the arc-shaped pressure arm is a semicircular arc structure.
[0018] In some embodiments of the present application, the outer side of the bottom strip is provided with a bubble tube, and the inner wall of the bubble tube is provided with depressions on both sides. In this application, the bubble tube has good elasticity, providing excellent shock absorption and buffering, achieving the requirement of easy door closing. The configuration of the bubble tube depression can better prevent the bubble cells from shifting after compression.
[0019] The above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily based on the common knowledge in this field. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
