[0010] A preferred embodiment is that the end of the positioning protrusion extends out of the positioning hole; the positioning protrusion is detachably connected to the door sheet metal.

[0011] A preferred embodiment is that the horizontal reference portion includes a limiting block located inside the window frame trim body, the limiting block abutting against one side of the door sheet metal to keep the window frame trim body and the end face of the B-pillar trim panel flush along the X-axis.

[0012] A preferred embodiment is that a first clip is provided on the door sheet metal; a second clip is provided on the B-pillar trim panel for cooperating with the first clip; the first clip and the second clip engage with each other to fix the B-pillar trim panel on the door sheet metal.

Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0030] This application provides a window frame trim structure, a vehicle frame, and a vehicle, which can achieve zero adhesion between the window frame trim body and the B-pillar trim panel in the Z direction and flushness in the X direction.

[0031] The following detailed description of a window frame trim structure provided in this embodiment, with reference to the accompanying drawings, is provided in detail. Figures 3-6 As shown, it includes: a window frame trim body 30; the inner side of the window frame trim body 30 has a positioning protrusion 31 and a horizontal reference portion 32, the positioning protrusion 31 extends into the positioning receiving portion 21 on the B-pillar trim panel 20 to realize the positioning of the window frame trim body 30 and the B-pillar trim panel 20 along the Z-axis direction, and the two are kept in close contact; the horizontal reference portion 32 of the window frame trim body 30 abuts against the side of the door sheet metal 10 to make the window frame trim body 30 and the B-pillar trim panel 20 positioned along the X-axis direction, and the side of the window frame trim body 30 and the B-pillar trim panel 20 are kept flush.

[0032] As described above, in the window frame trim structure of this application: the positioning protrusion 31 of the window frame trim body 30 extends into the positioning receiving portion 21 of the B-pillar trim panel 20 to achieve positioning of the window frame trim body 30 and the B-pillar trim panel 20 along the Z-axis direction, that is, the height direction of the vehicle, and to maintain zero contact between the two, that is, zero contact in the Z direction. Therefore, the relative positional relationship between the window frame trim body 30 and the B-pillar trim panel 20 in the height direction of the vehicle can be controlled; at the same time, the horizontal reference portion 32 of the window frame trim body 30 abuts against the side of the door sheet metal 10, which can make the window frame trim body... The window frame trim body 30 and the B-pillar trim panel 20 are positioned along the X-axis direction, which is the length direction of the vehicle. The sides of the window frame trim body 30 and the B-pillar trim panel 20 are kept flush. Therefore, the relative positional relationship between the window frame trim body 30 and the B-pillar trim panel 20 in the length direction of the vehicle can be controlled. This effectively controls the step difference between the window frame trim body 30 and the B-pillar trim panel 20 in the length direction of the vehicle, which is the X-axis step difference. This improves the installation accuracy of the automotive window frame trim body, increases the assembly efficiency of automotive products, meets production assembly requirements, and enhances the quality of automotive products.

[0033] The positioning protrusion 31 and positioning receiving portion 21 mentioned above are not particularly limited. For example, the positioning receiving portion 21 can be a notch, groove, through hole, etc., and the positioning protrusion 31 can be a protrusion, plate, rod, etc. As long as such structures and their reasonable variations can meet the conditions for the positioning protrusion 31 and positioning receiving portion 21 to cooperate in positioning the window frame trim body 30 in the height direction of the vehicle, they will fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0034] Please refer to Figures 4-6 As shown in this embodiment, it should be noted that the positioning protrusion 31 is configured to include a protruding post 311 located inside the window frame trim body 30, and the positioning receiving part 21 is configured to include an ear plate 211 located at the upper end of the B-pillar trim 20 and extending along the height direction of the vehicle. The ear plate 211 is provided with a positioning hole 2111, and the protruding post 311 extends from the side into the positioning hole 2111 of the ear plate 211. The inner side of the window frame trim body 30 is the side facing the vehicle during assembly.

[0035] Specifically, the positioning protrusion 31 protrudes outward from the inner side of the window frame trim body 30 to form a protruding post 311, which is perpendicular to the inner side of the window frame trim body 30. The positioning receiving part 21 is located at the upper end of the B-pillar trim 20 and extends along the height direction of the vehicle to form a ring-shaped ear plate 211. The middle position of the ear plate 211 forms positioning holes 2111 through both sides in the thickness direction. During installation, the protruding post 311 on the window frame trim body 30 is aligned with the positioning hole 2111 of the ear plate 211 at the upper end of the B-pillar trim 20. Then, the protruding post 311 is inserted into the positioning hole 2111. Through the cooperation of the protruding post 311 and the positioning hole 2111, the relative positional relationship between the window frame trim body 30 and the B-pillar trim 20 in the height direction of the vehicle can be realized. In other words, the window frame trim body 30 can be positioned with the upper end of the B-pillar trim 20 in the Z direction during assembly, thereby controlling the Z-direction gap.

[0036] In some embodiments, the protruding post 311 is cylindrical, and its upper surface is planar, while the other side surfaces are arc-shaped. In other words, only the upper surface of the protruding post 311 is planar, while the other sides are arc-shaped. The positioning hole 2111 is adapted to the shape of the protruding post 311 and is slightly larger than the size of the protruding post 311. During positioning, the protruding post 311 is inserted into the positioning hole 2111, and the upper surface of the protruding post 311 is in close contact with the top surface of the positioning hole 2111 (e.g., ...). Figure 6(position c in the middle), thereby realizing the relative positional relationship between the window frame trim body 30 and the B-pillar trim panel 20 in the height direction of the vehicle. Since during positioning, the window frame trim body 30 can be positioned in the Z direction simply by pressing the upper surface of the protruding pillar 311 against the upper top surface of the positioning hole 2111, ensuring the matching gap requirement with the B-pillar trim panel 20, and the gap in the Z direction can also be controlled and adjusted according to the actual situation.

[0037] To facilitate the insertion of the protruding post 311 into the positioning hole 2111, a first gap is provided between the side of the protruding post 311 and the side of the positioning hole 2111, and a second gap is provided between the bottom surface of the protruding post 311 and the bottom surface of the positioning hole 2111. The gap amounts of the first gap and the second gap are preferably set to be equal. For example, if the first gap and the second gap are both set to a gap amount of about 1.5mm, it will be convenient for assembly.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the end of the protruding post 311 extends out of the positioning hole 2111 and is detachably connected to the door sheet metal 10, such as by a detachable connector 40. By using the detachable connector 40 to fix the end of the door sheet metal 10 and the protruding post 311, the door sheet metal 10 and the window frame trim body 30 can be respectively clamped on the inner and outer sides of the B-pillar trim panel 20. It can be understood that the B-pillar trim panel 20 is assembled on the door sheet metal 10, and the window frame trim body 30 fits against the B-pillar trim panel 20 along the height direction of the vehicle. The window frame trim body 30 and the B-pillar trim panel 20 are kept flush along the length direction of the vehicle. The window frame trim body 30 is effectively fixed to the door sheet metal 10 by the protruding post 311. At this time, the protruding post 311 on the window frame trim body 30 is not easy to come out of the positioning hole 2111, ensuring the stability of the installation of the window frame trim body 30.

[0039] In one example, the detachable connector 40 is configured as a connecting bolt, and the end of the protruding post 311 is provided with a threaded hole 3111 for the connecting bolt to be threaded (e.g., ...). Figure 5 (As shown); the connecting bolt passes through the threaded hole 3111 at the end of the protruding post 311 after being threaded onto the door sheet metal 10. The use of the connecting bolt enables the connection between the door sheet metal 10 and the protruding post 311, and the connecting bolt is easy to disassemble, readily available, and easy to maintain. Of course, the detachable connector 40 in this embodiment is not limited to using connecting bolts; other structures with connecting and fixing functions, such as snap-fit ​​or riveting, can also be used.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, it should also be noted that the horizontal reference portion 32 includes a limiting block 321 formed inside the window frame trim body 30, and the limiting block 321 is located beside the protruding pillar 311. The limiting block 321 abuts against one side of the door sheet metal 10 to keep the window frame trim body 30 and the B-pillar trim panel 20 flush along the X-axis. The limiting block 321 is provided protruding from the inner side of one end of the window frame trim body 30. During installation, by moving the window frame trim body 30, the limiting block 321 abuts against one side of the door sheet metal 10 (e.g., Figure 3 (at position d in the middle), and then at this time the window frame trim body 30 is positioned in the X-axis direction, that is, the length direction of the vehicle and is flush with the side of the B-pillar trim panel 20. In other words, the window frame trim body 30 can be positioned by using the limiting block 321, which is accurate and convenient.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 7 As shown in the illustration, in this embodiment, it should also be noted that the B-pillar trim panel 20 is snapped onto the vehicle door sheet metal 10 along the height direction of the vehicle using a snap-fit ​​device. The snap-fit ​​device allows the B-pillar trim panel 20 and the door sheet metal 10 to be connected as a single unit. The snap-fit ​​device includes a first snap-fit ​​component and a second snap-fit ​​component. The first snap-fit ​​component is provided on the door sheet metal 10, and the second snap-fit ​​component is provided on the B-pillar trim panel 20 to cooperate with the first snap-fit ​​component. The first and second snap-fit ​​components engage with each other to fix the B-pillar trim panel 20 onto the door sheet metal 10.

[0042] In one example, the first fastener includes a slot 11 located on the door sheet metal 10, with several slots 11 spaced apart along the extension direction of the door sheet metal 10; the second fastener includes a retaining buckle 22 located on the B-pillar trim panel 20, with several retaining buckles 22 spaced apart along the extension direction of the B-pillar trim panel 20, and the positions and numbers of the retaining buckles 22 and slots 11 are all correspondingly set. During engagement, the retaining buckles 22 on the B-pillar trim panel 20 are fastened into the slots 11 of the door sheet metal 10, and then the B-pillar trim panel 20 is pulled downwards to engage the retaining buckles 22 in the slots 11, preventing them from coming off naturally, thus completing the assembly of the B-pillar trim panel 20 and the door sheet metal 10. Of course, in other embodiments, the slot 11 can also be provided on the B-pillar trim panel 20, and the limiting buckle 22 can be provided on the door sheet metal 10. Similarly, the snap-fit ​​between the B-pillar trim panel 20 and the door sheet metal 10 can be realized. Since opening the slot 11 on the B-pillar trim panel 20 may affect the appearance, it is preferred to open the slot 11 on the door sheet metal 10. Then, the door sheet metal 10 is slotted according to the limiting buckle 22 on the B-pillar trim panel 20.

[0043] This application also provides a vehicle frame, including a door sheet metal 10, a B-pillar trim panel 20 disposed on the door sheet metal 10, and the aforementioned window frame trim structure.

[0044] This application also provides a vehicle including the aforementioned window frame trim structure or the aforementioned vehicle frame.

[0045] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: A protruding post 311 and a limiting block 321 are formed on the inner side of the window frame trim body 30. The upper end of the B-pillar trim 20 extends out of the ear plate 211 with a positioning hole 2111. The positioning hole 2111 of the protruding post 311 and the ear plate 211 cooperate to serve as the positioning reference of the window frame trim body 30 in the Z-axis direction, which can control the Z-direction gap between the window frame trim body 30 and the B-pillar trim 20. The X-direction positioning references of the window frame trim body 30 and the B-pillar trim 20 are placed on the same door sheet metal 10 to ensure the X-direction flushness between the two. Specifically, during assembly... By using the limiting block 321 on the inner side of the window frame trim body 30 to abut against one side of the door sheet metal 10, i.e., zero-fit assembly, it can achieve the function of being flush in the X-axis direction. That is, the end faces of the window frame trim body 30 and the B-pillar trim panel 20 are kept flush along the X-axis direction. Then, the door sheet metal 10 and the window frame trim body 30 are fixed by using connecting bolts to ensure the stable assembly of the door sheet metal 10, the window frame trim body 30 and the B-pillar trim panel 20. Therefore, the window frame trim structure in this embodiment can achieve zero-fit in the Z-direction and flush in the X-direction between the window frame trim body 30 and the B-pillar trim panel 20.

[0046] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0047] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
