Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle manufacturing technology, and more particularly to a sealing assembly for convertible vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of automotive engineering, the sealing system between the tarpaulin and the vehicle body is one of the key subsystems of convertible vehicles. Its sealing performance directly affects the vehicle's waterproofing, dustproofing, sound insulation, and durability. To ensure that the interior remains waterproof and dustproof in rainy, sandy, and other external environments, while also considering structural aesthetics and long-term reliability, the tarpaulin typically needs to form a continuous and reliable sealing interface with the vehicle body's edge trim or frame structure.

[0003] Existing technologies typically involve adding additional structures such as sealant, waterproof cloth, and sealing strips to the edge of the tarpaulin, which are then bonded to the edge profile of the vehicle body. However, existing sealing methods are generally quite complex, requiring the bonding of multiple additional components to the edge of the tarpaulin. Furthermore, the tarpaulin and edge profile rely heavily on adhesive bonding for fixation, making it difficult to replace sealant when it ages or is damaged, thus reducing the convenience of tarpaulin assembly and maintenance.

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] The term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of this application. In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "upper," "lower," "top," "bottom," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not 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 application. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. Moreover, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0030] Understandably, the tarpaulin and body sealing system are key subsystems in automotive engineering, and their sealing performance directly affects the vehicle's waterproofing, sound insulation, and overall durability. Especially in convertible vehicles, the tarpaulin and body need to achieve waterproofing, dustproofing, and sound insulation to ensure that water does not seep into the vehicle during rainy weather or car washes, reduce the impact of external noise on the occupants, and simultaneously consider both aesthetics and long-term reliability.

[0031] In existing technologies, the convertible roof and the vehicle body are typically sealed together using sealant, waterproof fabric, or sealing strips. However, these sealing structures are generally complex, often requiring additional waterproof fabric, water-blocking strips, or other auxiliary structures to be glued to the edges of the roof. This not only increases assembly steps but also raises manufacturing costs. Furthermore, since the roof is usually sealed to the edge profiles via adhesive bonding, it is difficult to quickly disassemble and replace it when it ages, breaks, or requires maintenance, leading to inconvenient repairs and impacting user experience and maintenance efficiency.

[0032] like Figure 1-3As shown, this utility model provides a sealing assembly for convertible vehicles, the sealing assembly including a vehicle mounting part 1, a pressing part 2, and a flexible cover part 3;

[0033] Vehicle mounting component 1 is fixedly connected to crimping component 2, and crimping component 2 is detachably connected to flexible cover component 3;

[0034] The crimping member 2 includes a mounting groove 21 that allows at least part of the flexible cover member 3 to extend into it. The mounting groove 21 has a bend, and the flexible cover member 3 extending into the mounting groove 21 changes its extension direction along the bend to form an interlocking structure with the flexible cover member 3 not extending into the mounting groove 21.

[0035] Thus, the interlocking structure can restrict the disengagement direction of the flexible cover 3 and improve the connection reliability, thereby enhancing the stability of the seal.

[0036] Specifically, the vehicle mounting component 1 is a structural component for fixed connection with the vehicle body. In one possible implementation, the vehicle mounting component 1 is a sheet metal body. The pressing component 2 is a profile structure disposed on the vehicle mounting component 1, used to press, limit, and fix the flexible cover component 3. The flexible cover component 3 is a flexible sealing component used to cover the gap between the tarpaulin and the vehicle body. The mounting groove 21 is a groove-shaped structure formed on the pressing component 2, used to accommodate at least a portion of the flexible cover component 3.

[0037] Specifically, the vehicle mounting component 1 is set on the top of the vehicle frame, and the crimping component 2 is fixedly connected to the vehicle mounting component 1. The crimping component 2 is set on the side of the vehicle mounting component 1 facing the tarpaulin. The crimping component 2 has a mounting groove 21 formed on it. The mounting groove 21 extends along the length of the crimping component 2 and is used to accommodate the flexible cover 3. The edge portion of the flexible cover 3 extends into the mounting groove 21 and changes its extension direction under the guidance of the bending portion, so that the flexible cover 3 extending into the mounting groove 21 and the flexible cover 3 located outside the mounting groove 21 are structurally interlocked, thereby restricting the flexible cover 3 from detaching from the crimping component 2.

[0038] Specifically, the flexible cover 3 is a tarpaulin. The tarpaulin outside the mounting groove 21 is used to cover the gap between the vehicle body and the tarpaulin to form a sealed area. Through the interlocking structure formed by the mounting groove 21 and the bending part, the tarpaulin and the pressing part 2 are detachably connected, and when the tarpaulin needs to be maintained or replaced, the edge of the tarpaulin can be removed from the mounting groove 21.

[0039] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2As shown, the mounting groove 21 includes a first groove segment and a second groove segment, with a bent portion located between the first and second groove segments. The first groove segment, the bent portion, and the second groove segment can form a folded-back channel, and the flexible cover 3 extending into the folded-back channel can form a U-shaped folded-back structure. By limiting the folded-back path of the flexible cover 3 within the mounting groove 21, the structural limiting effect of the flexible cover 3 is improved, and the detachment direction of the flexible cover 3 is changed, enhancing the interlocking degree between it and the mounting groove 21. This reduces the possibility of detachment under tensile or vibration conditions, which is beneficial to improving the stability and durability of the sealed connection.

[0040] Specifically, the mounting groove 21 includes a first groove segment and a second groove segment, which are spaced apart along the groove depth direction. The bent portion is located between the first and second groove segments. The first groove segment, the bent portion, and the second groove segment are connected sequentially to form a folded-back groove. The edge portion of the flexible cover 3 enters the folded-back groove from the first groove segment, changes its extension direction at the bent portion, and continues to extend to the second groove segment, so that the flexible cover 3 located in the folded-back groove forms a U-shaped folded-back structure. After forming the U-shaped folded-back structure, the flexible cover 3 cooperates with the inner wall of the groove in the first and second groove segments respectively, thereby limiting the flexible cover 3.

[0041] Specifically, the extension directions of the flexible cover 3 in the first groove section and the flexible cover 3 in the second groove section are parallel.

[0042] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the mounting groove 21 includes a first groove segment and a second groove segment. The bent portion is located between the first groove segment and the second groove segment. The first groove segment, the bent portion, and the second groove segment can form a folded-back groove. The flexible cover 3 extending into the folded-back groove can form an L-shaped folded-back structure.

[0043] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the sealing assembly also includes a fixing member 4, which is used to fix the flexible cover member 3 to at least a portion of the flexible cover member 3 into the mounting groove 21 and engage with the vehicle mounting member 1. Thus, during assembly, the fixing member 4 drives at least a portion of the flexible cover member 3 into the mounting groove 21 and forms an engagement with the vehicle mounting member 1, thereby changing the assembly action of the flexible cover member 3 from direct insertion into the mounting groove 21 to an assembly method transmitted via the fixing member 4, improving the controllability and consistency of the assembly process.

[0044] In one embodiment, the fastener 4 is fixedly connected to the flexible cover 3, and the fastener 4 is located at the edge of the flexible cover 3. During assembly, the fastener 4 causes at least a portion of the flexible cover 3 to extend into the mounting groove 21, forming a bent or folded structure within the mounting groove 21. Simultaneously, the fastener 4 engages with the vehicle mounting component 1, and the engaging engagement between the fastener 4 and the vehicle mounting component 1 confines the flexible cover 3 within the mounting groove 21. Through the engagement of the fastener 4, the flexible cover 3, and the mounting groove 21, the flexible cover 3 achieves stable installation without relying on adhesive methods, and can be disassembled by releasing the engaging relationship between the fastener 4 and the vehicle mounting component 1 when maintenance or replacement is required.

[0045] In one embodiment, the stiffness of the fastener 4 is greater than that of the flexible cover 3. Thus, during assembly, the fastener 4 provides stable support and guidance for the flexible cover 3, allowing it to maintain a controlled shape when entering the mounting groove 21 and when bending or folding back. This avoids problems such as wrinkles, misalignment, or insufficient assembly caused by excessive deformation of the flexible cover 3, thereby improving the stability of the sealing structure under vibration and long-term use conditions.

[0046] Optionally, the fastener 4 may be made of metal or high-rigidity engineering plastic, and the flexible cover 3 may be made of rubber, elastomer or composite flexible material.

[0047] Specifically, the fastener 4 is located at the edge of the flexible cover 3, and is used to drive the flexible cover 3 into the mounting groove 21 during assembly, and to form a snap-fit ​​relationship with the vehicle mounting part 1 after assembly.

[0048] In one embodiment, the fastener 4 is a rigid plastic part.

[0049] In one embodiment, the mounting groove 21 has a first inner wall and a second inner wall disposed opposite to each other. After at least a portion of the flexible cover 3 extends into the mounting groove 21, at least a portion of the flexible cover 3 abuts against the first inner wall, and the fixing member 4 abuts against the second inner wall. In this way, the flexible cover 3 and the fixing member 4 act on the clamping structures of different inner walls, thereby making the force distribution in the mounting groove 21 clearer and more stable. The flexible cover 3 is less likely to shift or loosen when subjected to tension or vibration, thereby enhancing the fixing reliability of the flexible cover 3 in the mounting groove 21 and the stability of the overall sealing structure.

[0050] In one embodiment, a mounting groove 21 is formed on the crimping member 2, and the mounting groove 21 has a first inner wall and a second inner wall disposed opposite to each other. At least a portion of the flexible cover member 3 extends into the mounting groove 21 and abuts against the first inner wall; a fixing member 4 is disposed on one side of the flexible cover member 3 and is fixedly connected to the flexible cover member 3, and the fixing member 4 extends into the mounting groove 21 and abuts against the second inner wall. Through the cooperation between the flexible cover member 3, the fixing member 4, and the first and second inner walls, the flexible cover member 3 is clamped in the mounting groove 21.

[0051] In one embodiment, the sealing assembly further includes a stitching element, through which the fastener 4 is stitched to the flexible cover 3. Thus, the stitching connection provides reliable traction and positioning for the fastener 4 while maintaining the overall flexibility of the flexible cover 3. This allows the fastener 4 to stably drive the flexible cover 3 into the mounting groove 21 and engage with the vehicle mounting component 1 during assembly, thereby improving the connection reliability and durability of the sealing assembly during long-term use.

[0052] In one embodiment, the sealing assembly includes a flexible cover 3, a fastener 4, and a sewing member. The fastener 4 is disposed in the edge region of the flexible cover 3 and arranged along the extending direction of the flexible cover 3. The fastener 4 and the flexible cover 3 are connected by the sewing member, which is continuously or intermittently arranged along the edge direction of the flexible cover 3, so that the fastener 4 and the flexible cover 3 form a sewn connection in corresponding areas.

[0053] Optionally, the sewing material can be suture, rope, or strip sewing material, and the sewing method corresponding to the sewing material can be straight sewing, backstitch sewing, or overlock sewing.

[0054] Specifically, the flexible cover 3 forms a stitched layer in the stitching area, and the fastener 4 forms a fixing part in the corresponding position. The stitching piece passes through the flexible cover 3 and the fastener 4 in sequence, fixing the flexible cover 3 and the fastener 4 together in the stitching area. After the stitching connection is completed, the fastener 4 is arranged together with the flexible cover 3 in the mounting groove 21 of the crimping member 2. During the assembly process, the fastener 4 drives at least a part of the flexible cover 3 into the mounting groove 21, and after the assembly is completed, it forms a snap-fit ​​relationship with the vehicle mounting member 1.

[0055] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, a sealing gap exists between the vehicle mounting component 1 and the flexible cover component 3. The vehicle mounting component 1 has a groove 11 on the side facing the sealing gap to accommodate the adhesive 5. The adhesive 5 overflows from the groove 11 and fills the sealing gap to seal the connection between the vehicle mounting component 1 and the flexible cover component 3. In this way, the amount and distribution of the adhesive 5 can be guided during the assembly process, allowing the adhesive 5 to preferentially and continuously fill the sealing gap to form a continuous sealing layer. This helps to compensate for the assembly tolerances between the vehicle mounting component 1 and the flexible cover component 3, improves the sealing reliability between them, and enhances the stability and durability of the sealing structure.

[0056] Specifically, a sealing gap is formed between the vehicle mounting component 1 and the flexible cover 3. The vehicle mounting component 1 has a groove 11 on the side facing the sealing gap, arranged along the extending direction of the vehicle mounting component 1, for accommodating the adhesive 5. During assembly, the adhesive 5 is filled into the groove 11. When the flexible cover 3 and the vehicle mounting component 1 are mounted opposite each other and close together, the adhesive 5 in the groove 11 overflows from the groove 11 under pressure and diffuses outward into the sealing gap. The overflowing adhesive 5 fills the sealing gap, forming a sealed connection between the vehicle mounting component 1 and the flexible cover 3 in the corresponding area. After the adhesive 5 cures, the adhesive 5 in the groove 11 and the adhesive 5 filling the sealing gap together form a continuous sealing layer.

[0057] Optionally, the adhesive 5 may be butyl rubber, sealing foam, or glass glue, etc.

[0058] In one embodiment, the groove 11 and the cross-section are V-shaped.

[0059] In one embodiment, a buffer gap exists between the vehicle mounting component 1 and the flexible cover 3. The buffer gap is located on the side of the sealing gap away from the mounting groove 21, allowing the flexible cover 3 to reciprocate relative to the vehicle mounting component 1 within the buffer gap. This buffer gap enables the flexible cover 3 to reciprocate relative to the vehicle mounting component 1, providing displacement space for the flexible cover 3 during vehicle vibration, body deformation, or changes in tarpaulin tension. This reduces the impact of stress concentration on the sealing structure, thereby improving the service life and stability of the sealing structure.

[0060] In one embodiment, a buffer gap is formed between the vehicle mounting member 1 and the flexible cover member 3, in addition to the sealing gap. The buffer gap is located on the side of the sealing gap away from the mounting groove 21 and is arranged along the extending direction of the vehicle mounting member 1. A portion of the flexible cover member 3 is located within the buffer gap, and the flexible cover member 3 is spaced apart from the vehicle mounting member 1 within the buffer gap, allowing the flexible cover member 3 to reciprocate relative to the vehicle mounting member 1 within the range defined by the buffer gap. The buffer gap and the sealing gap are spatially distinct; the buffer gap provides movement space for the flexible cover member 3, and the sealing gap accommodates the adhesive 5 and forms a sealed connection.

[0061] Specifically, the sealing gap and the buffer gap are arranged adjacent to each other.

[0062] In one embodiment, the vehicle mounting component 1 has a first through hole, and the crimping component 2 has a second through hole. A fastener 6 can pass through both the first and second through holes to securely connect the vehicle mounting component 1 and the crimping component 2. The fastener 6's passage through the first and second through holes establishes a mechanical connection path between the vehicle mounting component 1 and the crimping component 2, thereby improving the assembly consistency and connection stability at the connection point. Simultaneously, it allows for the installation or replacement of the crimping component 2 without damaging other structures, thus improving the assembly efficiency and maintainability of the sealing assembly.

[0063] Specifically, the vehicle mounting part 1 has a first through hole, and the crimping part 2 has a second through hole corresponding to the first through hole. During assembly, the first through hole and the second through hole are aligned in space, and the fastener 6 passes through the first through hole and the second through hole in sequence. Through the cooperation of the fastener 6 with the vehicle mounting part 1 or the crimping part 2, the vehicle mounting part 1 and the crimping part 2 are fixedly connected.

[0064] Optionally, the fastener 6 can be a screw, bolt, or rivet, and the first through hole and the second through hole can be round holes or oblong holes.

[0065] In this embodiment, the fastener 6 is a screw and a nut, with the nut located on the side of the crimping member 2 away from the vehicle mounting member 1.

[0066] In one embodiment, the groove edge of the mounting groove 21 that contacts the flexible cover 3 has a chamfered structure. By providing the chamfered structure, the flexible cover 3 forms a transitional contact with the groove edge when entering the mounting groove 21 or undergoing relative displacement, thereby reducing the cutting or squeezing effect of the groove edge on the flexible cover 3 and improving the stability of the fit between the flexible cover 3 and the mounting groove 21.

[0067] Specifically, the crimping member 2 has a mounting groove 21, and the edge of the groove 21 has a chamfered structure located in the area where the mounting groove 21 contacts the flexible cover member 3. During assembly, the flexible cover member 3 enters the mounting groove 21 through the groove, contacts the chamfered structure, and slides along the chamfered structure before entering the interior of the mounting groove 21. The chamfered structure is continuously or intermittently arranged along the extension direction of the mounting groove 21 to provide transition guidance for the entry path of the flexible cover member 3.

[0068] The following describes the working process of a preferred sealing component in an embodiment of this application, using a specific application scenario as an example:

[0069] First, the flexible cover 3 for stitching connection is placed on one side of the crimping member 2. Under the action of the fixing member 4, the edge part of the flexible cover 3 enters the mounting groove 21 through the groove of the mounting groove 21.

[0070] Then, during the continued assembly process, the fastener 4 engages with the vehicle mounting part 1, and the fastener 4 causes the flexible cover 3 to form an abutment fit with the inner wall of the mounting groove 21.

[0071] Then, adhesive 5 is filled into the groove 11 on the side of the vehicle mounting part 1 facing the sealing gap;

[0072] Finally, the crimping part 2 is aligned with the vehicle mounting part 1, so that the second through hole on the crimping part 2 is aligned with the first through hole on the vehicle mounting part 1, and the crimping part 2 is fixed to the vehicle mounting part 1 by fastener 6 passing through the first through hole and the second through hole. The adhesive 5 overflows from the groove 11 and fills the sealing gap to form a sealed connection.

[0073] The following describes specific embodiments of this application based on the above technical solution.

[0074] Example 1

[0075] Please see Figure 1-6 This embodiment provides a sealing assembly for a convertible vehicle. The sealing assembly includes a vehicle mounting component 1, a crimping component 2, and a flexible cover component 3. The vehicle mounting component 1 is fixedly connected to the crimping component 2, and the crimping component 2 is detachably connected to the flexible cover component 3. The crimping component 2 includes a mounting groove 21 that allows at least a portion of the flexible cover component 3 to extend into it. The mounting groove 21 has a bent portion, and the flexible cover component 3 extending into the mounting groove 21 changes its extension direction along the bent portion to form an interlocking structure with the flexible cover component 3 not extending into the mounting groove 21.

[0076] The mounting groove 21 includes a first groove segment and a second groove segment, with a bent portion located between the first and second groove segments. The first groove segment, the bent portion, and the second groove segment can form a folded-back channel. The flexible cover 3 extending into the folded-back channel can form a U-shaped folded-back structure. The mounting groove 21 has a first inner wall and a second inner wall that are disposed opposite to each other. After at least a portion of the flexible cover 3 extends into the mounting groove 21, at least a portion of the flexible cover 3 abuts against the first inner wall, and the fixing member 4 abuts against the second inner wall.

[0077] The sealing assembly also includes a fastener 4, which is used to fix the flexible cover 3 in place so as to drive at least a portion of the flexible cover 3 into the mounting groove 21 and engage with the vehicle mounting component 1. The stiffness of the fastener 4 is greater than that of the flexible cover 3. The sealing assembly also includes a stitching member, through which the fastener 4 is stitched to the flexible cover 3.

[0078] There is a sealing gap between the vehicle mounting part 1 and the flexible cover part 3. The vehicle mounting part 1 has a groove 11 for accommodating adhesive 5 on the side facing the sealing gap. The adhesive 5 overflows from the groove 11 and fills the sealing gap to seal the connection between the vehicle mounting part 1 and the flexible cover part 3.

[0079] The vehicle mounting component 1 has a first through hole, the crimping component 2 has a second through hole, and the fastener 6 can pass through the first through hole and the second through hole to fix the vehicle mounting component 1 and the crimping component 2 together.
