Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of vehicle accessories, specifically to an upper trim assembly for a vehicle, a 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 installed 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 is mainly fixed to the end of the upper trim strip in the following way: for example, the main structure of the end cap is embedded in the mounting groove of the upper trim strip, and flexible clips are slidably inserted between the upper and lower ends of the main structure and the inner top and bottom walls of the slot, respectively, so as to use the flexible clips to squeeze and fix the main structure in the mounting groove of the upper trim strip.
[0004] However, during the process of sliding the flexible clip into the main structure of the end cap and the inner wall of the mounting groove, the flexible clip is soft, causing some parts of the flexible clip to bend or even protrude out of the mounting groove. This makes it difficult for the flexible clip to be completely embedded in the gap between the mounting groove and the main structure, thus affecting the assembly efficiency of the end cap and the upper trim strip. Utility Model Content
[0005] The problem this invention addresses is how to improve the assembly efficiency of the end cap and the upper trim strip in the upper trim strip assembly of a vehicle.
[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides an upper trim assembly for a vehicle, a vehicle door, and a vehicle.
[0007] In a first aspect, this utility model provides an upper trim assembly for a vehicle, including an upper trim, an end cap, and a pressing block structure. The upper trim has a mounting groove and an end opening communicating with the mounting groove. The end cap includes an end cap body, an abutment portion, and an end cap sealing portion. The end cap body is embedded in the mounting groove. The end cap body has a weak portion. At least a portion of the pressing block structure is detachably pressed into the weak portion. The end cap body has an abutment portion at its end along a first direction. When connected with the pressing block structure, the weak portion causes the abutment portion to displace and abut against the side wall of the mounting groove along the first direction.
[0008] The end cap body is provided with an end cap sealing part at its end along the second direction, and the end cap sealing part is sealed to the end opening; the first direction is the vertical direction of the vehicle, and the second direction is the front-rear direction of the vehicle.
[0009] Optionally, the end cap body includes a mounting portion, which is an annular plate structure with a hollow area. The hollow area of the annular plate structure is the weak point, and the abutment portion is provided at the end of the mounting portion along the first direction.
[0010] Optionally, the pressing block structure includes a pressing block body and an extension. The pressing block body is provided with the extension at both ends along the first direction. The size of the pressing block body along the first direction is larger than the size of the hollow region. The pressing block body is inserted into the hollow region to cause the mounting part to expand and deform. The extension is located between the end cap body and the mounting groove of the upper trim strip.
[0011] Optionally, the abutting portion includes a plurality of first protrusion structures, and the mounting portion is provided with a plurality of first protrusion structures arranged at intervals along the second direction.
[0012] Optionally, the extending direction of the first protrusion structure is set at an obtuse angle to the direction in which the end cap is slidably embedded in the mounting groove.
[0013] Optionally, the end cap body is provided with the abutment portion at both ends along the first direction.
[0014] Optionally, the end of the first protrusion structure away from the mounting portion is at least one of a planar structure, an arc-shaped structure, a sharp-corner structure, and a curved surface structure.
[0015] Optionally, the upper trim strip includes a trim strip body and a flexible body, with the flexible body connected to both ends of the trim strip body along the first direction, and the abutting portion abutting against the flexible body.
[0016] Optionally, the flexible body is provided with a positioning groove structure, which is positioned and connected to the first protrusion structure.
[0017] Optionally, the end cap body further includes a connecting portion, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the mounting portion and the end cap sealing portion along the second direction.
[0018] Optionally, a second protruding structure is provided on the surface of the end cap body facing the upper trim strip, the second protruding structure being used to abut against the inner wall of the mounting groove.
[0019] Secondly, this utility model provides a vehicle door, including the vehicle upper trim assembly as described above, and also including an upper sealing strip, wherein the upper trim of the vehicle upper trim assembly is sealed to the upper sealing strip.
[0020] Thirdly, the present invention provides a vehicle including the upper trim assembly of the vehicle as described above, or including the door as described above.
[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model on the vehicle's upper trim assembly, door, and the vehicle itself are:
[0022] The upper trim assembly of the vehicle mainly includes an upper trim, an end cap, and a pressing block structure. The end cap includes an end cap body, an abutment portion, and an end cap sealing portion. Since the upper trim has an end opening that communicates with the mounting groove, the end cap body can slide into the mounting groove of the upper trim from the end opening. After the end cap body is embedded in the mounting groove, the end cap sealing portion at one end of the end cap body can be sealed to the end opening of the upper trim, thereby ensuring the sealing of the connection between the end cap and the upper trim.
[0023] After the end cap body is embedded in the mounting groove, it can be connected to the weak part on the end cap body through the pressure block structure, so that the end cap body expands and deforms in the edge area of the weak part. This allows the weak part to drive the abutment part at the end of the end cap body along the first direction (the vertical direction of the vehicle) to move along the first direction, so that the abutment part abuts against the side wall of the mounting groove along the first direction. In other words, the weak part of the end cap body can expand and deform along the first direction under the pressing action of the pressure block structure, so that the abutment part abuts against the side wall of the mounting groove along the first direction, thereby quickly fixing the end cap to the mounting groove of the upper trim strip.
[0024] Compared to related technologies, which require two flexible clips to fix the main structure of the end cap to the mounting groove of the upper trim strip, and whose softness leads to low assembly efficiency of the end cap and upper trim strip, this invention only requires the pressure block structure to cooperate with the expandable and deformable weak part in the end cap to quickly and stably install the end cap into the mounting groove of the upper trim strip, thereby improving the assembly stability and efficiency of the end cap and upper trim strip.

[0042] To address the problems existing in the aforementioned related technologies, this embodiment provides an upper trim assembly for a vehicle, a door, and a vehicle.
[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, an upper trim assembly for a vehicle provided by this utility model is characterized by comprising an upper trim 1, an end cap 2, and a pressing block structure 3. The upper trim 1 is provided with a mounting groove 110 and an end opening communicating with the mounting groove 110. The end cap 2 includes an end cap body 21, an abutment portion 23, and an end cap sealing portion 22. The end cap body 21 is embedded in the mounting groove 110. The end cap body 21 is provided with a weak portion 210. At least a portion of the pressing block structure 3 is detachably pressed into the weak portion 210. The end cap body 21 is provided with an abutment portion 23 at its end along a first direction. The weak portion 210 is used to drive the abutment portion 23 to displace when connected with the pressing block structure 3 so as to abut against the side wall of the mounting groove 110 along the first direction.
[0044] The end cap body 21 is provided with an end cap sealing part 22 at its end along the second direction, and the end cap sealing part 22 is sealed to the end opening; the first direction is the vertical direction of the vehicle, and the second direction is the front-rear direction of the vehicle.
[0045] Specifically, the upper trim strip assembly is used to mount on the vehicle door frame. The upper trim strip 1 is an elongated component, and its extending end face can be substantially U-shaped. Therefore, the upper trim strip 1 has a mounting groove 110 that can be substantially cuboid. 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 (or up-down direction) of the vehicle. The first direction can be... Figure 1 Since the Z-axis is parallel in the coordinate system, the sidewalls of the mounting groove 110 along the first direction refer to the upper and lower sidewalls of the mounting groove 110.
[0046] The end cap body 21 is provided with the end cap sealing part 22 at its end along the second direction, where the second direction refers to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and it can be used with... Figure 1 The X-axis is parallel in the coordinate system; the end cap sealing part 22, the abutment part 23 and the end cap body 21 can be constructed as an integral structure to ensure that the end cap part 2 has a certain strength; wherein, the integral structure can be made of flexible materials, such as sodium fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether sulfate (abbreviated as AES material), or polyoxymethylene (abbreviated as POM plastic), or acrylonitrile-styrene-butadiene copolymer (abbreviated as ABS resin), etc.
[0047] 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.
[0048] End cap body 21 along Figure 1 In the coordinate system, the dimension along the Y-axis is the thickness of the end cap body 21. The weak part 210 can be understood as the thickness of the end cap body 21 in the region of the weak part 210 being less than the thickness of other parts of the end cap body 21. Since the end cap body 21 is made of the aforementioned flexible material, when the pressure block structure 3 is connected to the weak part 210 on the end cap body 21, the end cap body 21, made of flexible material, can expand and deform at the edge of the weak part 210, so that the end cap body 21 can drive the abutment part 23 to move along the first direction, causing the abutment part 23 to abut against the side wall of the upper trim strip 1 along the first direction.
[0049] The phrase "the pressure block structure 3 is detachably pressed into the weak part 210" means that a part of the pressure block structure 3 is detachably inserted into (or pressed into) the weak part 210, or the entire pressure block structure 3 is detachably inserted into (or pressed into) the weak part 210.
[0050] In this embodiment, the upper trim assembly of the vehicle mainly includes an upper trim 1, an end cap 2, and a pressing block structure 3. The end cap 2 includes an end cap body 21, an abutment portion 23, and an end cap sealing portion 22. Since the upper trim 1 has an end opening that communicates with the mounting groove 110, the end cap body 21 can slide into the mounting groove 110 of the upper trim 1 from the end opening of the upper trim 1. After the end cap body 21 is embedded in the mounting groove 110, the end cap sealing portion 22 at one end of the end cap body 21 can be sealed and connected with the end opening of the upper trim 1, thereby ensuring the sealing of the connection between the end cap and the upper trim 1.
[0051] After the end cap body 21 is embedded in the mounting groove 110, it can be connected to the weak part 210 on the end cap body 21 via the pressure block structure 3. This causes the end cap body 21 to expand and deform at the edge of the weak part 210, allowing the weak part 210 to drive the abutment part 23 at the end of the end cap body 21 along the first direction (the vertical direction of the vehicle) to move along the first direction. The abutment part 23 then abuts against the side wall of the mounting groove 110 along the first direction. In other words, the weak part of the end cap body 21 can expand and deform along the first direction under the pressure of the pressure block structure 3, so that the abutment part 23 abuts against the side wall of the mounting groove 110 along the first direction, preventing the end cap 21 from expanding along the first direction. Figure 1 In the coordinate system, the positive X-axis is detached from the mounting groove 110 of the upper trim 1, enabling the end cap 2 to be quickly fixed to the mounting groove 110 of the upper trim 1. The end cap body 21 can move along... Figure 1 The X-axis in the coordinate system is reverse-moved and embedded in the mounting slot 110.
[0052] Compared to related technologies, which require two flexible clips to fix the main structure of the end cap to the mounting groove 110 of the upper trim strip 1, and whose softness leads to low assembly efficiency of the end cap and upper trim strip 1, this invention only requires the pressure block structure 3 to cooperate with the expandable and deformable weak part 210 in the end cap 2 to quickly and stably install the end cap into the mounting groove 110 of the upper trim strip 1, thereby improving the assembly stability and efficiency of the end cap and upper trim strip 1.
[0053] Optionally, combined Figure 3 As shown, the end cap body 21 includes a mounting part 211, which is an annular plate structure with a hollow area. The hollow area of the annular plate structure is the weak part 210, and the abutment part 23 is provided at the end of the mounting part 211 along the first direction.
[0054] Specifically, the mounting portion 211 can be a deformable part of the end cap body 21; the mounting portion 211 can be an annular plate structure, which can have a hollow area, and this hollow area can be a through hole structure on the mounting portion 211. Therefore, the through hole structure can serve as a weak point 210, making the mounting portion 211 basically an annular plate structure. The shape of the hollow area (i.e., the through hole structure) on the annular plate structure can match the shape of the pressure block structure 3. For example, if the pressure block structure 3 is a cuboid structure, then the hollow area (i.e., the through hole structure) of the annular plate structure is a rectangular hole.
[0055] The connection between the pressure block structure 3 and the weak part 210 means that a portion of the pressure block structure 3 is inserted into the weak part 210; the mounting part 211, which is a ring plate structure, has an abutment part 23 at its end along the first direction. When the pressure block structure 3 is not connected to the weak part 210, the abutment part 23 can have a certain distance between it and the side wall of the mounting groove 110 along the first direction; when the pressure block structure 3 is connected to the weak part 210, the mounting part 211, which is a ring plate structure, can expand and deform to drive the abutment part 23 to move along the first direction and abut against the side wall of the mounting groove 110 along the first direction.
[0056] In this optional embodiment, since the mounting portion 211, which is a ring-shaped plate structure, has a hollow area, the hardness of the mounting portion 211 at the edge of the hollow area is weakened. When the pressure block structure 3 is connected to the weak portion 210, that is, when the pressure block structure 3 is pressed into the weak portion 210, the pressure block structure 3 expands the weak portion 210, causing the weak portion 210 of the mounting portion 211 to expand and deform along the first direction (i.e., the vertical direction of the vehicle). The mounting portion 211 can drive the abutment portion 23 to move along the first direction, so that the abutment portion 23 abuts against the side wall of the mounting groove 110 along the first direction, preventing the mounting portion 211 of the end cap 2 from moving along the first direction. Figure 1 In the coordinate system, the positive X-axis is detached from the mounting groove 110 of the upper trim 1 to fix the end cap body 21 in the mounting groove 110.
[0057] Optionally, combined Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the pressing block structure 3 includes a pressing block body 31 and an extension 32. The pressing block body 31 is provided with the extension 32 at both ends along the first direction. The size of the pressing block body 31 along the first direction is larger than the size of the hollow region. The pressing block body 31 is inserted into the hollow region to cause the mounting part 211 to expand and deform. The extension 32 is located between the end cap body 21 and the mounting groove 110 of the upper trim strip 1.
[0058] Specifically, the extension 32 and the pressing block body 31 can be in the following positional relationship: for example, the pressing block body 31 is a block structure or a cuboid structure. The pressing block body 31 extends along the first direction at both ends (i.e., the vertical ends of the pressing block body 31) to form the extension 32. In other words, each extension 32 can be a strip structure, sheet structure or plate structure that protrudes from the end face of the pressing block body 31 along the first direction (i.e., the vertical direction of the vehicle).
[0059] Furthermore, the pressing block body 31 and the extension 32 can be constructed as an integral structure to ensure that the pressing block structure 3 has a certain mechanical strength and to avoid deformation when inserted into the hollow area, which would affect the collision deformation action of the mounting part 211.
[0060] The compressed block structure 3 can be made of a material with a certain degree of hardness, such as polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) resin and polycarbonate (PC) / PBT blend (referred to as PBT material), or polyoxymethylene (referred to as POM material).
[0061] Combination Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, along the first direction (i.e. Figure 7 (In the Y-axis direction of the coordinate system), the size of the pressure block body 31 is larger than the size of the hollow area, so as to ensure that when the pressure block body 31 is inserted into the hollow area, the mounting part 211 will expand and deform along the first direction.
[0062] In this optional embodiment, since the size of the pressing block body 31 along the first direction is larger than the size of the hollow region, it is ensured that when the pressing block body 31 is inserted into the hollow region, the mounting part 211 can generate an expansion deformation along the first direction, thereby driving the abutment part 23 on the mounting part 211 to move along the first direction and abut against the side wall of the mounting groove 110 along the first direction. In other words, the mounting part 211 can generate an expansion deformation along the first direction. Figure 3 The expansion deformation along the Z-axis in the coordinate system is used to lock the upper and lower sidewalls of the upper trim strip 1.
[0063] Since the extensions 32 are respectively provided at both ends of the pressing block body 31 along the first direction, the size of the pressing block structure 3 at the extensions 32 is larger than the size of the pressing block structure 3 at the pressing block body 31 along the first direction. The extensions 32 are located between the end cap body 21 and the mounting groove 110, so that the mounting part 211 at the edge of the hollow area can support the extensions 32 along the... Figure 7 The constraint effect of the Y-axis in the coordinate system can prevent the pressure block structure 3 from detaching from the hollow area of the mounting part 211 after the end cap 2 is fixed in the mounting groove 110 of the upper trim 1, so as to achieve the installation stability of the pressure block structure 3 and the end cap body 21.
[0064] Optionally, combined Figure 4 As shown, the abutting portion 23 includes a plurality of first protrusion structures 231, and the mounting portion 211 is provided with a plurality of first protrusion structures 231 arranged at intervals along the second direction.
[0065] Specifically, the second direction refers to the vehicle's forward and backward direction, which can be compared with... Figure 4 The X-axis direction is parallel in the coordinate system; the abutment portion 23 may include a plurality of first protrusions 231 spaced apart along the second direction. The first protrusions 231 may deform when the abutment portion 23 abuts against the side wall of the mounting groove 110 along the first direction, so as to increase the pressure when abutting against the upper trim strip 1.
[0066] In this optional embodiment, when the mounting part 211 is embedded in the mounting groove 110 of the upper trim 1, the pressure block structure 3 is inserted into the hollow area of the mounting part 211, causing the mounting part 211 to expand and deform along the first direction. The mounting part 211 drives the abutting part 23 to abut against the side wall of the mounting groove 110 along the first direction. Since the abutting part 23 includes multiple first protrusion structures 231 and the volume of the first protrusion structures 231 is small, the multiple first protrusion structures 231 undergo bending deformation under the abutting force transmitted from the mounting part 211 to the side wall of the mounting groove 110 along the first direction. Therefore, the small volume of the first protrusion structure 231 can have a larger pressure on the mounting part 211 against the mounting groove 110 along the first direction, further improving the assembly stability of the end cap 2 and the mounting groove 110 of the upper trim 1.
[0067] Optionally, combined Figure 4 As shown, the extension direction of the first protrusion structure 231 is set at an obtuse angle to the direction in which the end cap 2 is slidably embedded in the mounting groove 110.
[0068] Specifically, the direction in which the end cap 2 is slidably embedded in the mounting groove 110 is compatible with... Figure 4 In the coordinate system, the X-axis points in opposite directions. Since the extension direction of the first protruding structure 231 is at an obtuse angle to the direction in which the end cap 2 is slidably embedded in the mounting groove 110, in other words, the end of each first protruding structure 231 away from the mounting portion 211 can extend towards the outer side of the hollow area of the mounting portion 211 and towards the direction in which the mounting portion 211 disengages from the mounting groove 110. This can also be understood as each first protruding structure 231 relative to... Figure 4 The coordinate system is set at an angle to the X-axis and Y-axis.
[0069] In this optional embodiment, the extension direction of the first protrusion structure 231 is set at an obtuse angle to the direction in which the end cap 2 is slidably embedded in the mounting groove 110. In other words, each of the first protrusion structures 231 is inclined. At this time, the first protrusion structure 231 can be equivalent to a barb structure, so that when the abutting part 23 abuts against the side wall of the mounting groove 110 along the first direction, each of the first protrusion structures 231 can generate an inclined force on the side wall of the mounting groove 110 along the first direction, so as to increase the resistance of the end cap 2 to detach from the mounting part 211, and further improve the assembly stability of the end cap 2 installed in the mounting groove 110 of the upper trim strip 1.
[0070] Optionally, combined Figure 3 As shown, the end cap body 21 is provided with the abutment portion 23 at both ends along the first direction.
[0071] Specifically, the end cap 2 may include two abutting portions 23, and the end cap body 21 along the first direction (i.e., along) Figure 3 The two ends of the end cap body 21 are respectively provided with abutment parts 23 in the Z-axis direction of the coordinate system. In other words, the two abutment parts 23 are located at the upper and lower ends of the end cap body 21.
[0072] In this optional embodiment, since the end cap body 21 is provided with the abutment portion 23 at both ends along the first direction, when the pressing block structure 3 is pressed into the weak portion 210, the end cap body 21 deforms along the first direction, so that the abutment portions 23 on the upper and lower sides of the end cap body 21 abut against the side wall of the mounting groove 110 along the first direction. In other words, the abutment portion 23 above the end cap body 21 in the end cap part 2 abuts against the upper side wall of the mounting groove 110, and the abutment portion 23 below the end cap body 21 in the end cap part 2 abuts against the lower side wall of the mounting groove 110, so as to ensure that the end cap part 2 has an expansion tension along the first direction against the side wall of the mounting groove 110 along the first direction, and further prevent the end cap part 2 from detaching from the mounting groove 110 of the upper trim strip 1.
[0073] Optionally, the end of the first protrusion structure 231 away from the mounting portion 211 is at least one of a planar structure, an arc-shaped structure, a sharp-corner structure, and a curved surface structure.
[0074] Specifically, the first protrusion structure 231 can be a cylindrical structure, a polygonal prism structure, a conical structure, etc.
[0075] Wherein, if the first protrusion structure 231 is a cylindrical structure or a polygonal prism structure, the end of the first protrusion structure 231 away from the mounting part 211 can be a planar structure, an arc surface structure or a curved surface structure; if the first protrusion structure 231 is a conical structure, the end of the first protrusion structure 231 away from the mounting part 211 can be a sharp corner structure.
[0076] The fact that the end of the first protrusion structure 231 away from the mounting portion 211 is at least one of a planar structure, an arc-shaped structure, a sharp-angle structure, and a curved structure means that the shape of the end of the first protrusion structure 231 away from the mounting portion 211 can be one of the above-mentioned planar structure, arc-shaped structure, sharp-angle structure, and curved structure, or at least a combination of two.
[0077] In this optional embodiment, the end of the first protruding structure 231 away from the mounting portion 211 is at least one of a planar structure, an arc-shaped structure, a sharp-corner structure, and a curved surface structure. This allows the end of the first protruding structure 231 away from the mounting portion 211 to have a smaller volume, increasing the abutment pressure of the abutment portion 23 on the mounting groove 110 along the first direction, effectively preventing the end cap 2 from... Figure 4 The positive X-axis in the coordinate system is disengaged from the mounting slot 110.
[0078] Optionally, the upper trim strip 1 may adopt the following structure, for example, combined with Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the upper trim strip 1 includes a trim strip body 11 and a flexible body 12. The two ends of the trim strip body 11 along the first direction are respectively connected to the flexible body 12, and the abutting part 23 is used to abut against the flexible body 12.
[0079] Specifically, the trim 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 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 body 11 has the mounting groove 110, which 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 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 sidewall (i.e., the two folded edges) of the trim body 11 along the first direction to fix the two flexible bodies 12 to the trim body 11.
[0080] The soft body 12 can be made of flexible materials such as rubber or silicone.
[0081] In this optional embodiment, since the abutment portion 23 is used to abut against the soft body 12 on the side wall of the mounting groove 110 of the upper trim 1 along the first direction, the soft body 12 not only increases the friction between the abutment portion 23 in the end cover 2 and the trim body 11, thereby improving the stability of the end cover 2 installed in the mounting groove 110 of the upper trim 1, but also plays a shock absorption and buffering role to reduce vibration and noise when closing the car door.
[0082] Optionally, combined Figure 4 and Figure 8As shown, the flexible body 12 is provided with a positioning groove structure 121, which is positioned and connected to the first protrusion structure 231.
[0083] Specifically, the flexible body 12 can be formed into a narrow and elongated component by an extrusion process; a positioning groove structure 121 can be formed by machining in a subsequent process of the flexible body 12, wherein the number of positioning groove structures 121 is at least one, and the size of the positioning groove structure 121 is slightly larger than the end size of the first protrusion structure 231 away from the mounting part 211.
[0084] If there are multiple positioning groove structures 121, the multiple positioning groove structures 121 are spaced apart along the second direction, and the distance between two adjacent positioning groove structures 121 matches the distance between two adjacent first protrusion structures 231.
[0085] In this optional embodiment, when the abutment portion 23 is connected to the side wall of the mounting groove 110 structure along the first direction, the end of the first protrusion structure 231 away from the mounting portion 211 can be inserted into the mounting groove 110 structure. At this time, the first protrusion structure 231 can be inserted into the positioning groove structure 121 for positioning, further increasing the assembly stability of the end cap 2 and the upper trim 1.
[0086] Optionally, combined Figure 3 and Figure 10 As shown, the end cap body 21 also includes a connecting portion 212, which connects the mounting portion 211 and the end cap sealing portion 22 at its two ends along the second direction, respectively.
[0087] Specifically, the mounting part 211 and the end cap sealing part 22 can be connected by a connecting part 212, which can be a plate-shaped structure.
[0088] Since the two ends of the connecting part 212 along the second direction 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, which is equivalent to enhancing the connection stability between the end cap body 21 and the upper trim 1.
[0089] Optionally, combined Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the end cap body 21 has a second protruding structure 213 on the surface facing the upper trim strip 1, and the second protruding structure 213 is used to abut against the inner wall of the mounting groove 110.
[0090] Specifically, the second protrusion structure 213 may be at least one of a rib or a protrusion.
[0091] The second protrusion structure 213 can be integrally formed on the end cap body 21 along... Figure 10 On the surface in the positive Y-axis direction of the coordinate system.
[0092] In this optional embodiment, since the end cap body 21 along Figure 10 The second protrusion structure 213, which is provided on the surface in the positive direction of the Y-axis in the coordinate system (i.e. the direction towards the upper trim 1), abuts against the inner sidewall of the mounting groove 110. This second protrusion structure 213 can increase the friction with the mounting groove 110 of the upper trim 1, thereby reducing the possibility of the end cap 2 detaching from the end opening of the upper trim 1.
[0093] The assembly process of each component in the upper trim assembly is as follows, combined with... Figure 11 As shown, Figure 11 In (a), the end cap body 21 is installed in the mounting groove 110 of the upper trim strip 1; Figure 11 In (b), the pressure block structure 3 is not placed in the weak part 210 of the end cap body 21; Figure 11 (c) is a state diagram of the pressure block structure 3 before it is pressed into the end cap body 21 but before the mounting part 211 of the end cap body 21 expands. The pressure block body 31 of the pressure block structure 3 is inserted into the hollow area of the end cap body 21, and the extension part 32 of the pressure block structure 3 is placed between the mounting part 211 and the inner wall of the mounting groove 110. Since the size of the pressure block body 31 along the first direction is larger than the size of the hollow area, the pressure block body 31 interferes with the edge of the weak part 210. The amount of interference is the amount of expansion deformation of the mounting part 211 in the first direction. Figure 11 (d) is a diagram showing the state after the pressure block structure 3 is pressed into the end cap body 21 and expands. At this time, the mounting part 211 of the end cap body 21 expands and deforms, so as to drive the two abutting parts 23 to abut against the two side walls of the mounting groove 110 along the first direction, so as to fix the end cap 2 in the mounting groove 110 of the upper trim 1.
[0094] This utility model provides a vehicle door, including the upper trim strip assembly of the vehicle as described in the above embodiment, and also including an upper sealing strip, wherein the upper trim strip 1 of the upper trim strip assembly of the vehicle is sealed and connected to the upper sealing strip.
