Detailed Implementation

[0048] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0049] The terms "first" and "second" in the specification and claims of this application may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0050] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "transverse", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0051] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0052] For commercial vehicles such as trucks and vans, the water cutter is usually fixed directly to the door panel assembly through a wrapping process. However, the wrapping process is prone to aging and failure, which can cause the water cutter to loosen or even fall off, reducing the installation stability of the water cutter. Furthermore, fixing the water cutter directly to the door panel assembly exposes the internal structure of the door panel assembly, which reduces the perceived quality of the vehicle's appearance.

[0053] Based on the above analysis, this application provides a water-cutting bracket. In practical applications, the water-cutting bracket is used in commercial vehicles. The water-cutting bracket of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0054] Reference Figures 1-12 This application provides a water cutter bracket 2. Specifically, the water cutter bracket 2 may include a bracket body 20 for mounting a water cutter 5; and a first flange 21, which is disposed on the bracket body 20 and is disposed opposite to and in contact with the door panel assembly.

[0055] Specifically, the water cutter bracket 2 is fixedly installed on the door panel assembly. The bracket body 20 and the water cutter 5 can be connected by snap-fit, plug-in or other connection methods to install the water cutter 5 on the bracket body 20.

[0056] A first flange 21 extends outward from the bracket body 20. The first flange 21 is disposed opposite to the door panel assembly, and the end of the first flange 21 away from the bracket body 20 is in contact with the door panel assembly, which can cover the gap between the door panel assembly and the water cutter bracket 2.

[0057] In this embodiment, the water cutter bracket 2 includes a bracket body 20 and a first flange 21. The water cutter 5 can be installed through the bracket body 20, which can improve the installation firmness of the water cutter 5 and extend its service life. By setting the first flange 21 on the bracket body 20, and by setting the first flange 21 opposite to and in contact with the door panel assembly, the gap between the door panel assembly and the water cutter bracket 2 can be blocked, thereby blocking the internal structure of the door panel assembly and improving the perceived quality of the vehicle's appearance.

[0058] In some embodiments, the first flange 21 is disposed opposite to the door panel assembly along the first direction Z; wherein, the first direction Z is the height direction of the door panel assembly.

[0059] Specifically, such as Figures 1-9 As shown, for ease of explanation, the first direction Z is defined as the height direction of the door panel assembly, as follows: Figure 6 The Z-axis direction shown is defined as the second direction X, which is the length direction of the door panel assembly. Figure 6 The X-axis direction is shown.

[0060] Specifically, such as Figure 3-5 As shown, the water cutter bracket 2 can be fixedly connected to one side of the door panel assembly by welding, snap-fitting or other methods. The top part of the water cutter bracket 2 protrudes upward toward the door panel 1 along the first direction Z to form a first flange 21, so that the second flange 11 is opposite to the door panel assembly in the first direction Z and is in contact with each other.

[0061] In practical applications, by making the first flange 21 and the door panel assembly opposite each other in the first direction Z and in contact with each other, the gap between the door panel 1 and the water cutter bracket 2 can be blocked, thereby improving the perceived quality of the vehicle's appearance.

[0062] Optionally, the water cutter bracket 2 also includes a plurality of connecting parts 22, which are spaced apart on the bracket body 20. Each connecting part 22 is provided with a first welding part 220, which is used for welding to the door panel assembly.

[0063] Specifically, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, the bracket body 20 is provided with multiple connecting parts 22. The connecting parts 22 specifically refer to the planar structures extending from the bracket body 20 for connecting the door guard plate 1. Their specific shape and number can be selected according to the actual situation.

[0064] like Figures 1-6 As shown, in the second direction X, a plurality of connecting parts 22 are provided at intervals on the bracket body 20, and a first welding part 220 is provided on each connecting part 22. Corresponding to the first welding part 220, a plurality of second welding parts 13 are provided on the door panel 1. The first welding part 220 and the second welding part 13 are welded together, thereby the water cutter bracket 2 can be welded to the door panel 1.

[0065] In this embodiment, welding is a relatively reliable connection method. By setting multiple connecting parts 22, multiple first welding parts 220 can be formed. Welding these multiple first welding parts 220 to the door panel assembly allows the water cutter bracket 2 to be more firmly installed on the door panel assembly, preventing loosening or detachment during long-term use. This provides a stable support structure for the water cutter 5, making it less prone to loosening or detachment and improving the installation stability of the water cutter 5. Furthermore, the welding connection makes the connection between the water cutter bracket 2 and the door panel assembly smoother and cleaner, improving the perceived quality of the vehicle's appearance.

[0066] Optionally, the first welding part 220 is a welding hole.

[0067] Specifically, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, each connecting part 22 has a first welding part 220 that is a welding hole, which is circular. Corresponding welding posts are provided on the door panel assembly, and these posts are cylindrical. The diameter of the welding hole is slightly larger than the diameter of the welding post. During the assembly of the door panel assembly, each welding hole on the water cutter bracket 2 passes through the welding post. Through welding, the first welding part 220 is firmly joined to the welding post on the door panel assembly, thus welding the water cutter bracket 2 onto the door panel 1. In practical applications, by making the first welding part 220 a welding hole, the welding hole and welding post provide positioning points for the installation of the water cutter bracket 2, ensuring precise alignment during assembly. This ensures accurate installation of the water cutter bracket 2 onto the door panel assembly and improves the installation qualification rate of the water cutter bracket 2.

[0068] Optionally, at least one connecting part 22 is provided with a positioning hole 221 for engaging with the door panel assembly.

[0069] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, at least one of the multiple connecting parts 22 is provided with a positioning hole 221. The positioning hole 221 is engaged with the door panel assembly, thereby positioning the water cutter bracket 2 on the door panel assembly through the positioning hole 221, ensuring the precise alignment between the water cutter bracket 2 and the door panel assembly, achieving accurate installation of the water cutter bracket 2, and improving the installation qualification rate of the water cutter bracket 2.

[0070] Optionally, the connecting part 22 is also provided with a slot 222, which is used to engage with the door panel assembly.

[0071] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the connecting part 22 is provided with a slot 222, which engages with the door panel assembly. In practical applications, during the assembly of the water cutter bracket 2 and the door panel assembly, the water cutter bracket 2 can be pre-fixed to the door panel assembly by engaging with the door panel assembly through the slot 222. Then, the first welding part 220 is welded to the door panel assembly. This can keep the water cutter bracket 2 stable during the welding process, reduce welding defects caused by vibration or movement, improve the installation firmness of the water cutter bracket 2, and thus improve the installation firmness of the water cutter 5.

[0072] Optionally, there are at least two card slots 222, with one card slot 222 disposed on one connecting part 22.

[0073] Specifically, there are at least two slots 222, one slot 222 is provided on one connecting part 22, and each slot 222 is engaged with the door panel assembly. In practical applications, by providing at least two slots 222 at different locations, different positioning points can be provided at different locations, making the pre-fixation of the water cutter bracket 2 and the door panel assembly more secure and stable, further improving the installation stability of the water cutter bracket 2, and thus improving the installation stability of the water cutter 5.

[0074] Optionally, the bracket body 20 is provided with a plurality of first snap-fit ​​parts 23, which are used to snap-fit ​​with the water cutter 5.

[0075] Specifically, such as Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the bracket body 20 is provided with multiple first snap-fit ​​parts 23, and the water cutter 5 can be provided with multiple second snap-fit ​​parts 50. One of the first snap-fit ​​parts 23 and the second snap-fit ​​part 50 is a buckle, and the other is a slot. The buckle and the slot engage with each other, allowing the bracket body 20 and the water cutter 5 to be locked in place. This allows the water cutter 5 to be installed on the water cutter bracket 2, improving the installation stability of the water cutter 5 and extending its service life. It should be noted that the specific number of the first snap-fit ​​parts 23 and the second snap-fit ​​parts can be selected according to actual conditions; this embodiment does not impose a specific limitation on this.

[0076] In summary, the door panel assembly of the embodiments of this application may include at least the following advantages:

[0077] In this embodiment, the water cutter bracket 2 includes a bracket body 20 and a first flange 21. The water cutter 5 can be installed through the bracket body 20, which can improve the installation firmness of the water cutter 5 and extend its service life. By setting the first flange 21 on the bracket body 20, and by setting the first flange 21 opposite to and in contact with the door panel assembly, the gap between the door panel assembly and the water cutter bracket 2 can be blocked, thereby blocking the internal structure of the door panel assembly and improving the perceived quality of the vehicle's appearance.

[0078] Reference Figures 5-13 This application provides a door panel assembly. Specifically, the door panel assembly includes: a door panel 1, a water cutter 5, and a water cutter bracket 2 as described in any of the above embodiments; the water cutter bracket is connected to one side of the door panel 1, and the water cutter is connected to the water cutter bracket 2.

[0079] Specifically, the water-cutting bracket 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the door panel 1 by welding, snap-fitting, or other fixing methods. The bracket body 20 of the water-cutting bracket 2 is used to install the water-cutting blade 5. The first flange 21 of the water-cutting bracket 2 is used to be positioned opposite to and in contact with the door panel 1. In some optional embodiments, the water-cutting bracket 2 may be provided with a first snap-fit ​​part 23, and the water-cutting blade 5 may be provided with a corresponding second snap-fit ​​part 50. The first snap-fit ​​part 23 and the second snap-fit ​​part snap-fit ​​each other, so that the water-cutting bracket 2 and the water-cutting blade 5 can be limited by snap-fitting. In this way, the door panel 1 can be tightened to prevent rainwater from leaking into the internal structure and improve the waterproof performance of the vehicle.

[0080] In this embodiment, since the door panel assembly includes a door panel 1, a water cutter 5, and a water cutter bracket 2, by setting a first flange 21 on the water cutter bracket 2 to be opposite to and in contact with the door panel 1, the installation gap between the door panel 1 and the water cutter bracket 2 can be blocked, the internal structure of the door panel 1 can be blocked, the appearance quality of the vehicle can be improved, and the water cutter 5 can be installed through the water cutter bracket 2, which can improve the installation firmness of the water cutter 5 and extend the service life of the water cutter 5.

[0081] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the structure of the water cutting support 2 is the same as that of the water cutting support 2 in any of the above embodiments, and its beneficial effects are also similar, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0082] Optionally, a second flange 11 is provided on the door panel 1, which is opposite to and in contact with the first flange 21 of the water cutter bracket 2.

[0083] Specifically, such as Figures 7-9As shown, the second flange 11 on the door panel 1 extends toward the water cutter bracket 2, and the first flange 21 of the water cutter bracket 2 extends toward the door panel 1, so that the second flange 11 and the first flange 21 are arranged opposite to each other and the second flange 11 and the first flange 21 are in contact with each other, which can cover the gap between the door panel 1 and the water cutter bracket 2.

[0084] In this embodiment of the application, by providing a second flange 11 on the door panel 1 and a first flange 21 on the water cutter bracket 2, the second flange 11 and the first flange 21 are arranged opposite to each other and in contact with each other, which can better cover the installation gap between the door panel 1 and the water cutter bracket 2, cover the internal structure of the door panel 1, and further improve the perceived quality of the vehicle's appearance.

[0085] Optionally, the first flange 21 and the second flange 11 are arranged opposite to each other along the first direction Z, wherein the first direction Z is the height direction of the door panel.

[0086] Specifically, the first direction Z mentioned in the aforementioned embodiments is the height direction of the door panel 1, and the second direction X mentioned in the aforementioned embodiments is the length direction of the door panel 1.

[0087] Specifically, such as Figure 5-9 As shown, the water cutter bracket 2 can be fixedly connected to one side of the door panel 1 by welding, snap-fit ​​or other methods. At the top of the door panel 1 in the first direction Z, a portion of it is bent downward toward the water cutter bracket 2 in the first direction Z to form a second flange 11. At the top of the water cutter bracket 2 in the first direction Z, a portion of it protrudes upward toward the door panel 1 in the first direction Z to form a first flange 21, so that the second flange 11 and the first flange 21 are opposite to each other in the first direction Z and are in contact with each other.

[0088] In practical applications, by making the second flange 11 and the first flange 21 opposite to each other in the first direction Z and in contact with each other, the gap between the door panel 1 and the water cutter bracket 2 can be blocked, thereby improving the perceived quality of the vehicle's appearance.

[0089] Optionally, the second flange 11 is formed with a recess 110, and the first flange 21 of the water-cutting bracket 2 is at least partially accommodated in the recess 110.

[0090] Specifically, such as Figure 5As shown, the side of the second flange 11 opposite to the first flange 21 is recessed upward along the first direction Z to form a recessed portion 110. The first flange 21 is a protruding portion protruding upward along the first direction Z, and the protruding portion is accommodated in the recessed portion 110. In practical applications, due to the relatively long length of the door panel 1 and its certain elasticity or material properties, when the second flange 11 is formed on the door panel 1, the second flange 11 may warp or deform during use. By embedding the first flange 21 into the recessed portion 110 of the second flange 11, the degree of freedom of the second flange 11 can be restricted by the first flange 21, preventing the door panel 1 from warping or deforming due to external forces or other forces.

[0091] Optionally, a second welding part 13 is provided on the door panel 1 at the position corresponding to the first welding part 220 of the water cutter bracket 2, and the second welding part 13 is welded to the first welding part 220.

[0092] Specifically, such as Figures 5-6 As shown, in the second direction X, the water cutter bracket 2 is provided with a plurality of connecting parts 22 at intervals, and each connecting part 22 is provided with a first welding part 220. Corresponding to the first welding part 220, the door panel 1 is provided with a plurality of second welding parts 13. The first welding part 220 and the second welding part 13 are welded together, so that the water cutter bracket 2 can be welded to the door panel 1.

[0093] In this embodiment, welding is a relatively reliable connection method. By setting multiple connecting parts 22, multiple sets of first welding parts 220 and second welding parts 13 can be formed. By welding multiple sets of first welding parts 220 and second welding parts 13, the water cutter bracket 2 can be more firmly installed on the door panel 1, preventing loosening or detachment during long-term use. This provides a stable support structure for the water cutter 5, making it less prone to loosening or detachment and improving the installation stability of the water cutter 5. Furthermore, the welding connection makes the connection between the water cutter bracket 2 and the door panel 1 smoother and cleaner, improving the perceived quality of the vehicle's appearance.

[0094] Optionally, the second welded part 13 is a weld column, and the second welded part 13 passes through the first welded part 220.

[0095] Specifically, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 10 and Figure 11Each connecting part 22 has a first welding part 220 that is a circular welding hole. Correspondingly, each second welding part 13 on the door panel 1 is a cylindrical welding post. The diameter of the welding hole is slightly larger than the diameter of the welding post. During the assembly of the door panel assembly, each welding hole on the water cutter bracket 2 is passed through the welding post. Through the welding process, the second welding part 13 and the first welding part 220 are firmly joined together, thus welding the water cutter bracket 2 onto the door panel 1. In practical applications, by making the first welding part 220 a welding hole and the second welding part 13 a welding post, the welding holes and welding posts provide positioning points for the installation of the water cutter bracket 2, ensuring precise alignment during the assembly process. This ensures accurate installation of the water cutter bracket 2 and the door panel 1, improving the installation qualification rate of the water cutter bracket 2.

[0096] Furthermore, the welding column can be a hot-melt welding column, which can be firmly combined with the welding hole by hot-melt welding to realize the welding of the water cutter bracket 2 onto the door panel 1.

[0097] Optionally, a positioning post 15 is provided on the door panel 1 at the position corresponding to the positioning hole 221 of the water cutter bracket 2, and the positioning post 15 is engaged with the positioning hole 221.

[0098] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, at least one of the multiple connecting parts 22 is provided with a positioning hole 221, and at least one positioning post 15 is provided on the corresponding door panel 1. The positioning hole 221 can be a rectangular hole, and the positioning post 15 can be a cross-shaped locking block. In this way, the cross-shaped locking block is engaged in the rectangular hole, which can restrict the degree of freedom of the water cutter bracket 2 along the first direction Z and the second direction X. At the same time, through the welding post corresponding to the positioning hole 221 in the same connecting part 22, or the welding post corresponding to other connecting parts 22, the outer surface of the welding post is provided with ribs, so that the welding post can restrict the degree of freedom of the water cutter bracket 2 along the first direction Z. In this way, the positioning post 15 and multiple welding posts can be used to achieve the positioning of the water cutter bracket 2, further ensuring the precise alignment between the water cutter bracket 2 and the door panel 1, realizing the accurate installation of the water cutter bracket 2, and further improving the installation qualification rate of the water cutter bracket 2.

[0099] It should be noted that the positioning pin 15 and the positioning hole 221 can be one, two, etc., and can be selected according to actual needs.

[0100] Optionally, the door panel 1 is provided with a buckle 14 at the position corresponding to the slot 222 of the water cutter bracket 2, and the buckle 14 engages with the slot 222.

[0101] Specifically, such as Figure 11As shown, the connecting part 22 is provided with a slot 222, and a buckle 14 is pre-installed on the door panel assembly at the position corresponding to the slot 222. The buckle 14 is engaged with the slot 222. The buckle can be in the form of a mushroom buckle, a gantry buckle, etc. In practical applications, during the assembly process of the water cutter bracket 2 and the door panel 1, the water cutter bracket 2 can be pre-fixed to the door panel 1 by engaging the buckle 14 with the slot 222. Then, the first welding part 220 and the second welding part 13 are welded. This can keep the water cutter bracket 2 stable during the welding process, reduce welding defects caused by vibration or movement, improve the installation firmness of the water cutter bracket 2, and thus improve the installation firmness of the water cutter 5.

[0102] In some alternative embodiments, the buckle 14 is a gantry buckle, and there are at least two buckles 14. The at least two buckles 14 are spaced apart on the door panel 1 and one buckle 14 is engaged with the slot 222 of a connecting part 22.

[0103] Specifically, buckle 14 is a gantry buckle. Because gantry buckles typically have a certain degree of elasticity, they can automatically adjust their position within a certain range, adapting to slight deformations of the water cutter bracket 2. Compared to other types of buckles, such as mushroom buckles, which cannot be properly assembled with the deformed water cutter bracket 2 and are prone to gaps, in this embodiment, by setting buckle 14 to be a gantry buckle, which can adapt to slight deformations of the water cutter bracket 2, buckle 14 can be assembled with the deformed water cutter bracket 2, allowing the water cutter bracket 2 to be securely installed on the door panel 1, further improving the installation qualification rate of the water cutter bracket 2.

[0104] The specific structure of the gantry buckle 14 can refer to the existing technology, and the embodiments of this application do not specifically limit it.

[0105] Specifically, there are at least two latches 14, which are spaced apart on the door panel 1 in the second direction X. Corresponding to the positions of the at least two latches 14, at least two connecting parts 22 are provided with corresponding slots 222. One latch 14 engages with a slot 222 on one connecting part 22. In practical applications, by setting at least two gantry latches 14 at different positions, different positioning points can be provided at different positions, making the pre-fixation of the water cutter bracket 2 and the door panel 1 more secure and stable. Multiple gantry latches 14 can also be used to position the water cutter bracket 2, ensuring its installation position is more accurate and improving the pass rate of water cutter bracket 2 installation.

[0106] In some optional embodiments, there is one positioning post 15 and two buckles 14. The two buckles 14 cooperate with one welding post respectively. The positioning post 15, the buckles 14 and the second welding part 13 are used together to achieve the positioning of the water cutter bracket 2, thereby achieving the precise installation of the water cutter bracket 2. The structure can be fully utilized to control the deformation of the water cutter bracket 2, preventing the gap between the water cutter bracket 2 and the door panel 1 from being too large due to deformation, or misalignment during production. Controlling the deformation of the water cutter bracket 2 improves the installation qualification rate of the water cutter bracket 2.

[0107] Optionally, it also includes an inner handle base 3, which is installed on the door panel 1 and connected to the water cutter bracket 2.

[0108] like Figures 1-9 As shown, the inner handle base 3 is usually connected to the door panel 1 by means of snap-fit, bolt connection or other fixing methods. The inner handle base 3 is installed on the door panel 1 near the water cutter bracket 2, so that the inner handle base 3 can be connected to the water cutter bracket 2. In this way, there is an assembly relationship between the water cutter bracket 2, the inner handle base 3 and the door panel 1. This can improve the stability of the water cutter bracket 2, reduce the deformation of the water cutter bracket 2, and improve the installation qualification rate of the water cutter bracket 2.

[0109] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 9 As shown, the inner handle base 3 is located on the upper part of the door panel 1 along the first direction Z, and is positioned above the elbow rest position. In this way, even with the water cutter bracket 2 occupying structural space, the inner handle 31 located on the inner handle base 3 can be arranged in a position that provides better comfort and operability.

[0110] Optionally, the inner buckle base 3 is provided with a third flange 30 on the side near the water cutter bracket 2, and the third flange 30 is fixedly connected to the water cutter bracket 2.

[0111] Specifically, the inner handle base 3 is provided with a third flange 30 on the side near the water cutter bracket 2, and a mounting part is provided on the water cutter bracket 2. The third flange 30 is fixedly connected to the mounting part. There can be multiple third flanges 30, so that the inner handle base 3 and the water cutter bracket 2 can be fixedly connected through the third flanges 30.

[0112] like Figure 8 As shown, optionally, the third flange 30 is connected to the water-cutting bracket 2 by a fastener 4.

[0113] Specifically, the third flange 30 covers the mounting portion of the water cutter bracket 2, and a fastener 4 passes through the third flange 30 and connects to the mounting portion. The fastener 4 can be a bolt, screw, rivet, etc. In practical applications, since the fastener 4 connection is a relatively reliable fixing method, it can improve the connection strength between the third flange 30 and the water cutter bracket 2, preventing loosening or detachment. Furthermore, the fastener 4 connection helps maintain the initial shape of the water cutter bracket 2 during assembly, preventing deformation during installation with the inner latch base 3, which could lead to installation difficulties.

[0114] In some optional embodiments, among the multiple connecting parts 22 on the water cutter bracket 2, a welded column corresponding to a connecting part 22 near the inner handle base 3 is provided with a rib on the outside of the welded column. The rib on the welded column is used to limit the position and control the positional accuracy between the water cutter bracket 2 and the inner handle base 3.

[0115] This application also provides a vehicle, which may specifically include the door panel assembly of any of the above embodiments or the water cutter bracket described in any of the above embodiments.

[0116] The vehicles can specifically be commercial vehicles such as trucks and vans.
