Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle component technology, specifically to a vehicle door frame trim assembly, a vehicle door, and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, a trim strip is installed on the upper sealing strip of the vehicle door frame to improve the aesthetics of the door when it is closed. The upper trim strip is a long and narrow component, and the aesthetics of its ends need to be considered after it is installed on the vehicle door frame. Therefore, end caps are needed at the ends of the upper trim strip to cover, seal, and protect the ends of the upper trim strip.

[0003] In related technologies, the end cap and the upper trim strip are mainly assembled in the following way: for example, 3M tape with good adhesion and durability is pasted on the inner wall of the slot of the upper trim strip, and then the end cap is slidably inserted into the slot from the end opening of the upper trim strip. During the sliding insertion of the end cap, the 3M tape is sticky on both sides, which creates an adhesive obstacle to the sliding insertion of the end cap, making it impossible for the end cap to be accurately inserted into the corresponding part of the slot. It may even cause the end cap to deform under the two opposing forces of sliding and adhesive obstruction, thereby affecting the connection stability between the end cap and the upper trim strip. Utility Model Content

[0009] Optionally, the snap ring further includes two staggered buffer sections, the fixing section has a U-shaped structure, and the two ends of each buffer section are respectively connected to the open end of the fixing section and the snap-fit ​​section.

[0010] Optionally, the ends of the two snap-fit ​​segments away from the fixed segment each have bends that bend towards each other, and the clamp is fitted onto the bends of the two snap-fit ​​segments.

[0017] Optionally, the end cap structure further includes a pressure cap, and a positioning groove structure is provided at the part of the mounting part that is away from the upper trim strip and connects with the fixing section. The fixing section is embedded in the positioning groove structure, and the pressure cap is disposed at the positioning groove structure to fix the fixing section in the positioning groove structure.

[0018] Optionally, the end cap structure includes two elastic snap-fit ​​members, and the mounting portion is connected to the corresponding elastic snap-fit ​​members at both ends along a third direction; the third direction refers to the direction in which the end cap structure is slidably embedded in the slot, and is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0022] The beneficial effects of this utility model on the vehicle door frame trim assembly, the vehicle door, and the vehicle are:

[0023] The vehicle door frame trim assembly mainly includes an upper trim strip and an end cap structure. The end cap structure includes an end cap body, an end cap sealing part, and a resilient snap-fit ​​member. One end of the resilient snap-fit ​​member is connected to the end cap body to fix the resilient snap-fit ​​member to the end cap body. The end cap structure can be assembled with the upper trim strip in the following ways: for example, the end cap body can slide into the groove of the upper trim strip from the end opening of the upper trim strip. The other end of the resilient snap-fit ​​member is used to deform and abut against the side wall (i.e., upper and lower side wall) of the groove of the upper trim strip in a first direction to fix the end cap structure to the groove of the upper trim strip. When removing the end cap structure, the other end of the resilient snap-fit ​​member can be operated to deform and disengage from the groove, thereby achieving quick disassembly and assembly stability of the end cap structure and the upper trim strip.

[0024] Since the end cap sealing part is located at one end of the end cap body in the extending direction, after the end cap body is embedded in the slot, the end cap sealing part at one end of the end cap body can seal the end opening of the upper trim strip, thereby ensuring the connection and sealing between the end cap and the upper trim strip.

[0025] Furthermore, the flexible snap-fit ​​connector used to assemble the end cap body and the upper trim strip can effectively reduce the assembly cost of the end cap structure and the upper trim strip compared to the more expensive 3M tape used in related technologies.

[0048] To address the problems existing in the aforementioned related technologies, this embodiment provides a vehicle door frame trim assembly, a vehicle door, and a vehicle.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this utility model provides a vehicle door frame trim assembly, a vehicle door, and a vehicle, including an upper trim 1 and an end cap structure 2. The upper trim 1 has a slot 110 and an end opening communicating with the slot 110. The end cap structure 2 includes an end cap body 21, an end cap sealing part 22, and an elastic snap-fit ​​member 23. The end cap body 21 is embedded in the slot 110. One end of the elastic snap-fit ​​member 23 is connected to the end cap body 21, and the other end of the elastic snap-fit ​​member 23 is used to deform to abut against or disengage from the side wall of the slot 110 along a first direction; the first direction refers to the vertical direction of the vehicle.

[0050] The end cap sealing part 22 is disposed at the end of the end cap body 21 in the extending direction, and the end cap sealing part 22 is sealed to the end opening.

[0051] Specifically, since the upper trim strip 1 is a long and narrow component, and its end face in the extending direction can be basically U-shaped, the upper trim strip 1 has a slot 110 that can be basically rectangular. At least one end of the upper trim strip 1 in the extending direction is provided with the end opening. The first direction refers to the vertical direction of the vehicle. The first direction can be connected with... Figure 1 Since the Z-axis is parallel in the coordinate system, the sidewall of the slot 110 along the first direction refers to the upper and lower sidewalls of the slot 110.

[0052] The end cap sealing part 22 and the end cap body 21 can be constructed as an integral structure to ensure that the end cap structure 2 has a certain strength; wherein, the integral structure can be made of flexible materials, such as sodium fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether sulfate (referred to as AES material), or polyoxymethylene (referred to as POM plastic), or acrylonitrile-styrene-butadiene copolymer (referred to as ABS resin), etc.

[0053] The end cap sealing part 22 can be a plate-shaped structure, and the plate-shaped structure can be connected to the end cap body 21 at an angle, for example, perpendicularly. The surface area of ​​the end cap sealing part 22 can be larger than the end opening area of ​​the upper trim strip 1 to ensure that the end cap sealing part 22 can completely seal the end opening of the upper trim strip 1.

[0054] It can generate elastic deformation to abut or detach from the side wall of the slot 110 along the first direction, so as to realize the assembly and disassembly of the end cap body 21 with the upper trim strip 1 through the elastic snap fastener 23.

[0055] In this embodiment, the vehicle door frame trim assembly mainly includes an upper trim 1 and an end cap structure 2. The end cap structure 2 includes an end cap body 21, an end cap sealing part 22, and an elastic snap-fit ​​member 23. One end of the elastic snap-fit ​​member 23 is connected to the end cap body 21 to fix the elastic snap-fit ​​member 23 to the end cap body 21. The end cap structure 2 can be assembled with the upper trim 1 in the following manner: for example, the end cap body 21 can be slidably inserted into the slot 110 of the upper trim 1 from the end opening of the upper trim 1. The other end of the elastic snap-fit ​​member 23 can be elastic to deform and abut against the side wall (i.e., upper and lower side wall) of the slot 110 of the upper trim 1 along the first direction to fix the end cap structure 2 to the slot 110 of the upper trim 1. When removing the end cap structure 2, the other end of the elastic snap-fit ​​member 23 can be operated to deform and disengage from the slot 110, thereby realizing the quick disassembly and assembly stability of the end cap structure 2 and the upper trim 1.

[0056] Since the end cap sealing part 22 is provided at one end of the end cap body 21 in the extending direction, after the end cap body 21 is embedded in the slot 110, the end cap sealing part 22 at one end of the end cap body 21 can seal the end opening of the upper trim strip 1, thereby ensuring the connection and sealing between the end cap and the upper trim strip 1.

[0057] Among the related technologies, 3M tape is a high-performance double-sided tape manufactured by 3M Company. 3M tape is composed of polyacrylate and possesses excellent adhesion and durability. 3M-VHB tape, from a chemical structure analysis, contains VHB... TM The tape is made entirely of polyacrylate, and the main chain of polyacrylate is entirely composed of C-C bonds. This carbon-carbon single bond main chain is highly resistant to damage from heat, ultraviolet light, and chemical reagents. Therefore, the cost of using 3M tape in related technologies is relatively high.

[0058] Furthermore, the elastic snap-fit ​​component 23, which assembles the end cap body 21 and the upper trim strip 1, can effectively reduce the assembly cost of the end cap structure 2 and the upper trim strip 1 compared to the 3M tape, which has a higher cost in related technologies.

[0059] Optionally, combined Figures 2 to 6The end cap body 21 includes a mounting portion 211, and the elastic snap-fit ​​member 23 includes a snap spring 230 and a clamp 234. The snap spring 230 includes a fixing section 231 and two snap-fit ​​sections 232. The fixing section 231 is connected to the mounting portion 211. One end of each of the two snap-fit ​​sections 232 is connected to the fixing section 231, and the other end of each of the two snap-fit ​​sections 232 is connected to the clamp 234. The two snap-fit ​​sections 232 are used to retract under the restriction of the clamp 234 and to open to abut against the side wall of the slot 110 along the first direction when the restriction of the clamp 234 is removed.

[0060] Specifically, the mounting part 211 is a part of the end cap body 21. The snap ring 230 mainly includes a fixing section 231 and two snap-fit ​​sections 232. The fixing section 231 is fixedly connected to the mounting part 211 to achieve a fixed connection between the fixing section 231 and the mounting part 211.

[0061] The retaining section 231 and the two snap-fit ​​sections 232 in the retaining ring 230 can be constructed as an integral structure. For example, a metal rod can be bent using a bending process to form the retaining ring 230. Therefore, the retaining ring 230 can be made of metal material to ensure that the retaining ring 230 has sufficient elasticity to stably fix the end cap body 21 in the retaining groove 110. One end of each of the two snap-fit ​​sections 232 is connected to the retaining section 231, and the other end of each of the two snap-fit ​​sections 232 is connected to the clamp 234.

[0062] In this optional embodiment, when the mounting part 211 in the end cap structure 2 is inserted into the slot 110 of the upper trim strip 1, the ends of the two snap-fit ​​sections 232 away from the fixed section 231 are first connected by the clamp 234, so that the two snap-fit ​​sections 232 are deformed and in a contracted state, thereby reducing the space occupied by the two snap-fit ​​sections 232 and avoiding interference between the snap-fit ​​sections 232 and the side wall of the upper trim strip 1 along the first direction during the process of inserting the mounting part 211 from the end opening of the upper trim strip 1 into the slot 110. This ensures that the mounting part 211 of the end cap body 21 is smoothly slidably embedded in the slot 110 from the end opening of the upper trim strip 1. After the mounting part 211 is embedded in the preset position of the slot 110, the end cap sealing part 22 is sealed to the end opening of the upper trim strip 1. At this time, the end cap sealing part 22 not only seals the end opening of the upper trim strip 1, but also serves as an indicator that the mounting part 211 is embedded in the slot 110 to the preset position.

[0063] After the mounting part 211 is inserted into the preset position of the slot 110, the clamp 234 can be disengaged from the two snap-fit ​​sections 232. The two snap-fit ​​sections 232, which have lost the restraining effect of the clamp 234, regain their elasticity and are converted to an open state. The two snap-fit ​​sections 232 abut against the upper and lower side walls of the slot 110 along the first direction. The ends of the two snap-fit ​​sections 232 away from the fixing section 231 are snapped with the upper trim strip 1. In other words, the tension of the two snap-fit ​​sections 232 in the snap spring 230 is used to fix the end cap structure 2 to the upper trim strip 1, preventing the end cap body 21 from coming off or coming off from the end opening of the upper trim strip 1.

[0064] Combination Figure 10 As shown, the upper trim strip 1 can adopt the following structure. For example, the upper trim strip 1 includes a trim strip body 11 and two flexible bodies 12. The trim strip body 11 is a long and narrow component, and its end face in the extension direction can be basically U-shaped. In other words, the trim strip body 11 includes an arc plate and two folded edges. The arc plate is connected to the corresponding folded edges at both ends along the first direction. Therefore, the trim strip body 11 has a slot 110 that can be basically rectangular. The two flexible bodies 12 can also be long and narrow components, and each flexible body 12 has a slot that penetrates itself. The two flexible bodies 12 are spaced apart along the first direction, and the two folded edges of the trim strip body 11 along the first direction are respectively inserted into the slots of the two flexible bodies 12. Each flexible body 12 can cover the upper or lower side wall (i.e., the two folded edges) of the trim strip body 11 along the first direction to fix the two flexible bodies 12 to the trim strip body 11.

[0065] The soft body 12 can be made of flexible materials such as rubber or silicone.

[0066] Combination Figure 6 As shown, since the retaining spring 230 and the trim body 11 can be made of metal, when the retaining section 232 of the retaining spring 230 loses the restraining effect of the clamp 234, it returns to its original state and abuts against the two soft bodies 12 of the upper trim 1. The friction between the retaining section 232 of the retaining spring 230 and the trim body 11 is increased by the soft bodies 12, and the stability of the end cap body 21 installed in the groove 110 of the upper trim 1 is improved by the retaining spring 230.

[0067] Optionally, combined Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the snap ring 230 also includes two staggered buffer sections 233, the fixing section 231 has a U-shaped structure, and the two ends of each buffer section 233 are respectively connected to the open end of the fixing section 231 and the snap-fit ​​section 232.

[0068] Specifically, since the fixed section 231 has a U-shaped structure, the open end of the fixed section 231 has two connection points. Each snap ring 230 may include two buffer sections 233. One end of the two buffer sections 233 is connected to the two connection points of the fixed section 231 respectively. The two buffer sections 233 are staggered, meaning that the other end of the lower buffer section 233 is connected to the upper snap-fit ​​section 232, and the other end of the upper buffer section 233 is connected to the lower snap-fit ​​section 232. Therefore, the buffer section 233 can serve as the connection part between the fixed section 231 and the snap-fit ​​section 232.

[0069] The retaining ring 230 consists of a fixed section 231, two buffer sections 233, and two snap-fit ​​sections 232, which are constructed as an integral structure.

[0070] The buffer section 233 can be an arc-shaped structure or at least one ring-shaped structure, and the buffer section 233 has a certain elastic deformation capability.

[0071] Each snap-fit ​​segment 232 may extend from one end of the buffer segment 233 to the end away from the buffer segment 233 in a direction toward the outside of the snap ring 230.

[0072] In this optional embodiment, when the clamp 234 is connected to the end of the two locking segments 232 away from the buffer segment 233, the two locking segments 232 deform to be in a contracted state, see Figure 3 As shown, this helps to quickly insert the end cap body 21 into the slot 110 of the upper trim 1. When the end cap body 21 is inserted into the preset position of the slot 110, when the clamp 234 is disengaged from the two snap-fit ​​sections 232, since the two ends of the buffer section 233 are respectively connected to the fixing section 231 and the snap-fit ​​section 232, the buffer section 233 effectively increases the length of the other parts of the snap spring 230 except for the fixing section 231, which is equivalent to increasing the opening space of the two snap-fit ​​sections 232. After the two snap-fit ​​sections 232 return to their original state after losing the restriction of the clamp 234, the force against the two side walls of the slot 110 of the upper trim 1 along the first direction can be increased, further increasing the assembly stability of the snap spring 230 and the upper trim 1.

[0073] Optionally, combined Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the ends of the two snap-fit ​​segments 232 away from the fixed segment 231 each have bent portions 2321 that bend towards each other, and the clamp 234 is fitted onto the bent portions 2321 of the two snap-fit ​​segments 232.

[0074] Specifically, the fact that the ends of the two snap-fit ​​segments 232 away from the fixed segment 231 each have bending portions 2321 that bend in opposite directions can be understood as follows: the end of each snap-fit ​​segment 232 away from the fixed segment 231 has a portion that is concave and bent toward the inside of the snap ring 230. This portion can be a bending portion 2321, and the bending directions of the bending portions 2321 of the two snap-fit ​​segments 232 are opposite.

[0075] The shape of the bending part 2321 can be V-shaped, U-shaped, or W-shaped, etc.

[0076] In this optional embodiment, when the clamp 234 is fitted onto the bent portions 2321 of the two snap-fit ​​sections 232, the position of the clamp 234 can be limited by the two bent portions 2321 of the two snap-fit ​​sections 232 that bend in opposite directions, so as to prevent the clamp 234 from detaching from the snap-fit ​​section 232 during the deformation and shrinkage process of the snap-fit ​​section 232, so as to achieve the connection stability between the clamp 234 and the snap-fit ​​section 232.

[0077] Optionally, combined Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the fixing section 231 of the elastic snap-fit ​​member 23 and the mounting part 211 are constructed as an integral structure.

[0078] Specifically, for example, the fixing section 231 and the mounting part 211 of the end cap body 21 can be formed into an integral structure in the following manner (insert injection molding process). For example, the fixing section 231 of the retaining spring 230 can be pre-fixed in an appropriate position in the mold, and then plastic is injected into the mold for molding. After the mold is opened, the fixing section 231 of the retaining spring 230 is tightly wrapped and embedded in the product by the cooled and solidified plastic to obtain the end cap structure 2 with the retaining spring 230. The cooled and solidified structure in the end cap structure 2 other than the retaining spring 230 can be the end cap body 21 and the end cap sealing part 22.

[0079] In this optional embodiment, since the fixing section 231 and the mounting part 211 are constructed as an integral structure, the connection stability between the fixing section 231 of the snap ring 230 and the mounting part 211 of the end cap body 21 is improved, the possibility of the snap ring 230 detaching from the end cap body 21 is reduced, and the manufacturing cost of the end cap structure 2 can also be reduced.

[0080] Optionally, combined Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the end cap body 21 also includes a connecting part 212 and a protruding structure 213. The connecting part 212 is a plate-shaped structure, and the two ends of the extending direction of the connecting part 212 are respectively connected to the mounting part 211 and the end cap sealing part 22.

[0081] The mounting portion 211 and / or the connecting portion 212 are provided with the protruding structure 213 along the side wall in the second direction, and the protruding structure 213 abuts against the inner wall of the slot 110; the second direction refers to the left-right direction of the vehicle and is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0082] Specifically, the end cap body 21 may include at least one connecting portion 212. For example, if the end cap body 21 includes one connecting portion 212, then the connecting portion 212 is located between the mounting portion 211 and the end cap sealing portion 22, and the two ends of the extending direction of the connecting portion 212 are respectively connected to the mounting portion 211 and the end cap sealing portion 22; if the end cap body 21 includes two connecting portions 212, then one connecting portion 212 is located between the mounting portion 211 and the end cap sealing portion 22, and the other connecting portion 212 is connected to the end of the mounting portion 211 away from the end cap sealing portion 22. In other words, the two connecting portions 212 may be located on opposite sides of the mounting portion 211 (see...). Figure 6 (As shown).

[0083] The mounting part 211, the connecting part 212, and the protruding structure 213 in the end cap body 21 are all located in the slot 110 of the upper trim strip 1.

[0084] The second direction refers to the left-right direction of the vehicle, which can be perpendicular to the first direction. Figure 7 The Y-axis in the coordinate system is parallel.

[0085] The provision of the protruding structure 213 on the sidewall of the mounting portion 211 and / or the connecting portion 212 along the second direction means that the protruding structure 213 may be provided only on the surface of the mounting portion 211 along the second direction (i.e., towards the inner sidewall of the slot 110), or the protruding structure 213 may be provided only on the surface of the connecting portion 212 along the second direction (i.e., towards the inner sidewall of the slot 110), or the protruding structure 213 may be provided on both the surfaces of the mounting portion 211 and the connecting portion 212 along the second direction (i.e., towards the inner sidewall of the slot 110).

[0086] In this optional embodiment, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, since the two ends of the extension direction of the connecting part 212 are respectively connected to the mounting part 211 and the end cap sealing part 22, in other words, the connecting part 212 is equivalent to increasing the length of the entire end cap body 21 in the extension direction, thereby increasing the connection area between the end cap body 21 and the upper trim 1, thereby enhancing the connection stability between the end cap body 21 and the upper trim 1.

[0087] Because the protruding structure 213 provided on the sidewall of the mounting portion 211 and / or the connecting portion 212 along the second direction abuts against the inner sidewall of the slot 110, the protruding structure 213 can be used to pass through in the second direction (i.e., Figure 7(in the Y-axis direction) increase the friction with the groove 110 of the upper trim 1 to reduce the possibility of the end cap body 21 detaching from the end opening of the upper trim 1.

[0088] Optionally, combined Figure 2 and Figure 9 As shown, the mounting part 211 is provided with a connector 214, which is used to connect the upper window frame of the vehicle door.

[0089] Specifically, the connector 214 may be a threaded hole located in the middle of the mounting portion 211, which can be used to connect the upper window frame of the vehicle door to the mounting portion 211 via bolt fasteners. Alternatively, the connector 214 may be other fasteners that can connect the mounting portion 211 to the upper window frame of the door, such as a tie rod, etc., which are not specifically limited here.

[0090] In this optional embodiment, since a connector 214 is provided on the mounting part 211, and the mounting part 211 is fixed in the slot 110 of the upper trim strip 1 by the elastic snap-fit ​​23, the upper window frame of the vehicle door is connected by the connector 214, thereby fixing the entire vehicle door frame trim assembly to the upper window frame of the door, ensuring the installation stability of the vehicle door frame trim assembly.

[0091] Optionally, combined Figure 11 As shown, the part where the mounting part 211 connects to the fixing section 231 is provided with a connecting groove 2111, and the fixing section 231 is fixedly inserted into the connecting groove 2111.

[0092] Specifically, the mounting part 211 has a connecting groove at the end facing the fixing section 231. The space of the connecting groove is slightly larger than the fixing section 231 so that the end of the fixing section 231 can be smoothly inserted into the connecting groove 2111.

[0093] In this optional embodiment, the fixing segment 231 is fixedly inserted into the connecting groove 2111 of the mounting part 211, thereby improving the ease of assembly of the fixing segment 231 and the connecting groove 2111. Moreover, if the fixing segment 231 fails, the fixing segment 231 can be replaced separately, thereby reducing maintenance costs accordingly.

[0094] Optionally, the fixing segment 231 and the connecting groove 2111 are connected by a snap-fit ​​structure 215 and / or glue.

[0095] Specifically, a snap-fit ​​structure 215 can be provided in the connecting groove 2111. The snap-fit ​​structure 215 can be any of the following: trapezoidal structure, wedge structure, and polygonal prism structure.

[0096] After the fixing segment 231 is inserted into the connecting groove 2111, glue is injected into the connecting groove 2111. After the glue solidifies, the fixing segment 231 is fixed in the connecting groove 2111 by the solidified glue.

[0097] There are three ways to connect the fixed segment 231 to the connecting groove 2111. Firstly, after the fixed segment 231 is inserted into the connecting groove 2111, it engages with the snap-fit ​​structure 215 to achieve a fixed connection between the fixed segment 231 and the connecting groove 2111. Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown; the second method is to insert the fixing segment 231 into the connecting groove 2111 and then inject glue into the connecting groove 2111 to fix the fixing segment 231 into the connecting groove 2111 through the solidified glue; the third method is to insert the fixing segment 231 into the connecting groove 2111 and then snap it into the snap-fit ​​structure 2115, and then inject glue into the connecting groove 2111. In other words, the assembly stability of the fixing segment 231 and the mounting part 211 can be improved by snapping the fixing segment 231 into the snap-fit ​​structure 2115 and the solidified glue.

[0098] Optionally, combined Figures 14 to 16 As shown, the end cap structure 2 also includes a pressure cap 24. The mounting part 211 has a positioning groove structure 2112 at the part where it connects with the fixing section 231 away from the upper trim strip 1. The fixing section 231 is embedded in the positioning groove structure 2112. The pressure cap 24 is disposed at the positioning groove structure 2112 and is used to fix the fixing section 231 in the positioning groove structure 2112.

[0099] Specifically, the mounting part 211 is located on the side wall away from the upper trim strip 1 (i.e., the mounting part 211 is on...). Figure 15 A positioning groove structure 2112 is provided on one side wall opposite to the Y-axis in the coordinate system. The positioning groove structure 2112 may have a positioning protrusion or a positioning buckle groove structure. At least part of the fixing section 231 is embedded in the positioning groove structure 2112. The pressure cover 24 is provided at the positioning groove structure 2112, which means that the pressure cover 24 is snapped, pressed or connected to the positioning groove structure 2112 in other ways.

[0100] In this optional embodiment, the pressure cap 24 is disposed at the positioning groove structure 2112 to fix the fixing section 231 in the positioning groove structure 2112, thereby realizing a fast and stable assembly operation between the fixing section 231 and the end cap structure 2.

[0101] Optionally, combined Figure 2 , Figures 5 to 7 as well as Figure 9 As shown, the end cap structure 2 includes two elastic snap-fit ​​members 23, and the mounting part 211 is connected to the corresponding elastic snap-fit ​​members 23 at both ends along a third direction; the third direction refers to the direction in which the end cap structure 2 is slidably embedded in the slot 110, and is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0102] Specifically, the direction in which the end cap structure 2, referred to by the third party, is slidably embedded in the slot 110 can be parallel to the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and can also be aligned with the diagram. Figures 5 to 7 The X-axis direction is parallel in the coordinate system. The extension direction of the upper trim strip 1 and the extension direction of the end cap body 21 can also be parallel to a third direction.

[0103] The end cap structure 2 may include two elastic snap-fit ​​members 23, which may be respectively connected to the third-direction end of the mounting portion 211, and the two elastic snap-fit ​​members 23 may be connected along... Figure 5 The YZ coordinate system is symmetrically set in a plane.

[0104] In this optional embodiment, since the mounting part 211 is connected to the corresponding elastic snap-fit ​​member 23 at both ends along the third direction, when the mounting part 211 is embedded in the snap-fit ​​groove 110, it can abut against the side wall of the upper trim strip 1 through the snap-fit ​​springs 230 of the two elastic snap-fit ​​members 23 along the third direction. This is equivalent to increasing the number of connection points between the end cap structure 2 and the upper trim strip 1, thereby further increasing the assembly stability of the end cap structure 2 and the upper trim strip 1 and preventing the end cap structure 2 from coming out of the end opening of the upper trim strip 1.

[0105] Optionally, the clamp 234 is an elastic rope structure; or, the clamp 234 is a gripping structure.

[0106] Specifically, in combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, clamp 234 can be a flexible and stretchable elastic rope structure, and the elastic rope can be cut.

[0107] Furthermore, the clamp 234 can also be a clamp structure, which can adopt the following structure, for example, the clamp structure includes two arc-shaped plates, the ends of the two arc-shaped plates can be detachably connected, and the two arc-shaped plates can be closed to form a ring structure, which can be a rectangular ring, an elliptical ring or a circular ring, etc.

[0108] In this optional embodiment, if the clamp 234 is an elastic rope structure, when the end cap body 21 is embedded in the slot 110, the clamp 234 with the elastic rope structure can improve the connection convenience with the two snap-fit ​​sections 232 of the snap spring 230. After the end cap body 21 is installed in the preset position in the slot 110, the operator can use a cutting tool such as scissors to cut the clamp 234 with the elastic rope structure to improve the speed at which the clamp 234 is released from the snap spring 230, thereby improving the assembly convenience of the end cap body 21 and the slot 110.

[0109] If the clamp 234 is a clamp structure, when the end cap body 21 is embedded in the slot 110, the clamp 234, being a clamp structure, can improve the connection stability with the two snap-fit ​​sections 232 of the snap spring 230, and prevent the clamp 234 from detaching from the snap spring 230 during the process of the end cap body 21 being embedded in the slot 110; after the end cap body 21 is installed in the preset position in the slot 110, the operator can remove the detachable clamp from the snap spring 230, so that the two snap-fit ​​sections 232 of the snap spring 230 return to their original state after being freed from the restriction of the clamp 234 and abut against the side wall of the slot 110 along the first direction.

[0110] This utility model provides a vehicle door, including the vehicle door frame trim assembly as described in the above embodiment, and also includes an upper sealing strip, wherein the upper trim of the vehicle door frame trim assembly is sealed to the upper sealing strip.

[0111] Specifically, the door may include a door body and a door frame trim assembly, as well as an upper sealing strip, wherein the upper trim strip 1 in the door frame trim assembly can be sealed to the upper sealing strip, and the upper sealing strip can be connected to the door body.
