Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile water seal, specifically a new heavy truck side water drainage device. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, in the daily use process of conventional heavy trucks, rain or other water environment is often encountered, and it is inevitable to open the door to get on and off the vehicle in the water environment. A large amount of free water on the top and side wall of the vehicle flows along the side of the vehicle door, making the vehicle door become the water flow concentration, which has a negative impact on keeping the interior of the cab dry and causes inconvenience to the driver and passenger when getting on and off the vehicle.

[0003] At the same time, the concentration of a large amount of free water will pose a great challenge to the waterproof sealing performance of the vehicle door. In order to improve the water sealing performance of the vehicle door, the compression amount of the vehicle door sealing strip and the number of vehicle door water sealing layers are usually increased. This way will increase the compression reaction force of the sealing strip on the vehicle door, not only causing the vehicle door to deform in the opposite direction and make the upper part of the vehicle door protrude outward, but also causing the required force to close the vehicle door to be very large.

[0004] At present, there are mainly two methods to reduce free water at the vehicle door:

[0005] The first method is to set a circle of sheet metal eaves at the side wall sheet metal above the vehicle door.

[0006] The second method is to recess the sheet metal above the vehicle door, and then use parts to shield the outer decoration to achieve the water blocking function.

[0007] The first eave structure has poor appearance and will turn water outward in most cases, which will relatively reduce the water sealing pressure of the vehicle door, but the functionality of reducing water for personnel getting on and off the vehicle is not strong and affects the appearance.

[0008] The second method combines the recessed sheet metal and the outer decoration part. The recessed sheet metal can make part of the water not flow through the recessed part and directly drain downward, which can hinder part of the free water, but part of the water will still overflow from the gap between the outer decoration part and the sheet metal, affecting the personnel experience, and the long-term use will cause the muddy water to flow out, causing the appearance to be dirty and not easy to clean.
