Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle technology, and more particularly to a door assembly and a vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of automotive technology, car design has gradually shifted from a functionality-oriented approach to a user experience-driven approach, placing higher demands on the refinement and aesthetics of interior and exterior components. In particular, the door area, as a visual focal point that users frequently come into contact with, directly affects the overall quality of the vehicle due to the precision of the fit between its components and the consistency of its appearance.
[0003] Currently, door interior panels and seals are generally assembled using a press-fit method, meaning that the door interior panels are physically pressed and fixed to the front and rear edges of the seals.
[0004] However, the press-fit assembly method will expose the gap between the door trim panel and the seal, allowing users to directly observe the gap or interference between the door trim panel and the seal from a side view, thus affecting the user's visual experience. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of this, this application provides a door assembly and vehicle that helps to improve the visual aesthetics of the joint between the door interior panel and the seal.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this application is implemented as follows:
[0007] On one hand, this application provides a vehicle door assembly, including: a vehicle door body; a seal, the seal being disposed around the vehicle door body, the seal having a sealing mating surface facing the inside of the vehicle, and a blocking rib provided on the sealing mating surface; a door interior panel, the door interior panel being fixed to the vehicle door body, the edge of the door interior panel being fastened to the sealing mating surface and forming a mating gap, and the blocking rib covering the mating gap.
[0008] The door assembly provided in this application effectively covers the gap between the edge of the door interior panel and the sealing mating surface by setting a shielding rib on the seal. This not only eliminates the visual gap or interference defects caused by the exposed gap under the traditional pressing method, but also reduces the dependence on the assembly process precision of the door interior panel and the seal through the physical shielding function of the shielding rib. It allows the gap or interference within a certain tolerance range of the mating gap without affecting the appearance consistency.
[0009] In one possible implementation, the shielding rib is located behind the mating gap along the vehicle's longitudinal direction.
[0010] In this way, the rear-mounted shielding rib can cover the rear seam area where the user's line of sight is concentrated, while also avoiding the problem of a harsh transition at the edge of the door trim panel that might be caused by the shielding rib extending forward. In addition, the shielding rib set on the rear side can naturally conform to the normal curvature of the seal, and enhance the stability of the shielding structure by utilizing the extension characteristics of the seal's own shape. This further reduces the risk of shielding rib deformation caused by frequent opening and closing of the door or vibration, thereby continuously ensuring the seam shielding effect and visual flatness in dynamic usage scenarios.
[0011] In one possible implementation, the shielding rib is integrally formed with the seal.
[0012] Thus, the one-piece molding process creates a seamless support structure between the shielding rib and the seal, avoiding the risks of loosening, deformation, or detachment that may occur when the shielding rib is installed separately in traditional split designs. Furthermore, the one-piece molding process eliminates the need for additional assembly steps or connectors, allowing the shielding rib to be constructed simultaneously during the seal injection molding stage. This simplifies the production process, reduces manufacturing costs, and ensures a high degree of consistency between the shielding rib and the seal in terms of material properties and mechanical performance, effectively preventing shielding failure caused by material differences or thermal expansion and contraction.
[0013] In one possible implementation, the door interior panel includes a panel body and a rear side panel located behind the panel body. The panel body is opposite to the door body inside and out. A first end of the rear side panel is connected to the panel body, and a second end abuts against the sealing mating surface to form the mating gap.
[0014] In this way, the rear side panel is connected to the main body of the trim panel through the first end and abuts against the sealing mating surface through the second end, which can form a controllable mating gap boundary. This allows the rear side panel to focus on the local matching of the joint area and reduce the impact of the overall assembly tolerance of the trim panel on the uniformity of the joint.
[0015] In one possible implementation, the shielding rib is parallel to the rear side panel.
[0016] Thus, by aligning the shielding ribs parallel to the rear side panel, a continuous linear shielding band can be formed along the extension direction of the rear side panel, ensuring that the mating gaps are evenly covered and preventing localized gap exposure due to angular deviations in the shielding ribs. Simultaneously, this design, through its parallel relationship with the rear side panel, ensures that the shielding ribs move synchronously with the door trim panel when the door is closed or during dynamic vibrations, reducing the risk of shielding failure caused by relative movement between the two.
[0017] In one possible implementation, the shielding rib is spaced apart from or attached to the rear side panel.
[0018] In this way, by spacing the shielding ribs apart from or fitting them together with the rear side panel, design requirements can be dynamically adapted, balancing shielding stability with structural tolerance compatibility. With a spaced layout, the gaps can absorb relative displacement between the door trim panel and seals caused by thermal expansion and contraction or vibration, avoiding stress concentration or wear caused by hard contact between the shielding ribs and the rear side panel. If they are fitted together, the gaps can be directly sealed through surface or line contact, maximizing the shielding effect and using the friction of the mating surfaces to suppress the swaying of the shielding ribs under dynamic conditions. Both states can be flexibly selected based on the needs of different vehicle models, adapting to diverse assembly scenarios simply by adjusting the spacing parameters or the degree of fit, without altering the basic structure.
[0019] In one possible implementation, the ratio of the height of the shielding rib to the height of the rear side panel is 0.1-0.3; and / or, the ratio of the height of the shielding rib to the width of the mating gap is 2.5-5.
[0020] Thus, by adjusting the height ratio of the aforementioned shielding rib to the rear side panel, the masking effect can be ensured while avoiding a decrease in the rigidity of the seals or a visually abrupt appearance caused by excessively high shielding ribs, while also ensuring the supporting strength of the rear side panel to the door interior panel. By adjusting the height ratio of the aforementioned shielding rib to the width of the mating gap, the width tolerance range of the mating gap can be completely covered through a three-dimensional masking effect. Even under the maximum tolerance conditions, the visible gap can still be eliminated through the projected area of the shielding rib.
[0021] In one possible implementation, the shielding rib is an elastic structure.
[0022] Thus, the material properties and deformation capabilities of the elastic shielding ribs enable dynamic shielding and adaptive compensation. Under conditions of door closure or vibration, the elastic shielding ribs can actively conform to the minute displacements or tolerance fluctuations of the door trim panel edges through bending or compression deformation, avoiding localized stress concentration or shielding failure caused by rigid contact. Simultaneously, the elastic structure of the shielding ribs can absorb the impact energy generated during door opening and closing, reducing the risk of wear between the shielding ribs and the rear side panel or seals, and extending the service life of the shielding ribs.
[0023] In one possible implementation, the height of the shielding rib is 3mm-5mm.
[0024] In this way, the aforementioned size range ensures that the retaining rib completely covers the gap between the door trim panel and the seal in the door assembly, eliminating the visibility of the gap from the user's side view. At the same time, it can also avoid a decrease in the overall rigidity of the seal by a small increase in material, avoiding the risk of the retaining rib collapsing or twisting due to excessive height.
[0025] On the other hand, this application also provides a vehicle, including: a door assembly as described in any of the above possible implementations.
[0026] The vehicle provided in this application, by incorporating the aforementioned door assembly, can improve the visual quality and craftsmanship of the entire vehicle's side area. The covering ribs in the door assembly effectively eliminate the visible gaps between the door panels, enhancing the overall appearance and texture of the vehicle. Attached Figure Description

[0037] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the specific technical solutions of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this application. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this application, but are not intended to limit the scope of this application.
[0038] In the embodiments of this application, 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. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise stated, "multiple" means two or more.
[0039] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are defined relative to the orientation of the components shown in the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these directional terms are relative concepts, used for relative description and clarification, and can change accordingly depending on the orientation of the components in the accompanying drawings.
[0040] In the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the term "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can mean a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium.
[0041] In embodiments of this application, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element.
[0042] In the embodiments of this application, the terms "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate that something is an example, illustration, or description. Any embodiment or design that is described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or design. Specifically, the use of the terms "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.
[0043] Currently, door trim panels and seals are generally assembled using a press-fit method, where the door trim panel is physically pressed to the front and rear edges of the seal. However, this press-fit assembly method exposes the gap between the door trim panel and the seal, allowing users to directly observe the gap or interference from a side view, thus affecting the user's visual experience. Furthermore, in this design, the mating gap between the door trim panel and the seal is completely exposed to the user's view, requiring precise manufacturing to control the uniformity of the gap. For example, after the seal is injection molded and connected to the door trim panel, strict control of the tolerances during installation is necessary to ensure no obvious gaps or interference after press-fitting. However, due to factors such as fluctuations in the injection molding process and assembly errors, visual consistency of the gap is difficult to guarantee in actual mass production.
[0044] In view of this, the present application provides a door assembly and a vehicle, which effectively covers the mating gap formed between the edge of the door interior panel and the sealing mating surface by the shielding rib provided on the seal. This can eliminate the visual gap or interference defects caused by the exposed seam under the traditional pressing method. In addition, the physical shielding function of the shielding rib reduces the dependence on the assembly process accuracy of the door interior panel and the seal, allowing the mating gap to have a certain tolerance range of gap or interference without affecting the appearance consistency.
[0045] It should be noted that the vehicle in this application can refer to large vehicles, small vehicles, special-purpose vehicles, etc. For example, according to vehicle type, the vehicle in this application can be a sedan, a bus, a truck, an off-road vehicle, a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), or other types of vehicles. For instance, the vehicle can be any one of electric vehicles / electric cars, pure electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, range-extended electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and new energy vehicles.
[0046] Vehicles typically consist of wheels, a power source, and a transmission system between the wheels and the power source. The transmission system transmits the power provided by the power source to the wheels, causing them to rotate and thus driving the vehicle.
[0047] It should be noted that the type of power source of the vehicle is not limited in the embodiments of this application. For example, for fuel vehicles, the power source can refer to fuel engines such as gasoline engines and diesel engines; for electric vehicles, the power source can refer to electric motors; for hybrid vehicles, the power source can refer to engines or electric motors; for vehicles powered by other means, the power source can refer to devices that generate power.
[0048] The vehicle may also include a chassis and a body mounted on the chassis. The body may have a passenger compartment, which may include a driver's seat, passenger seats, etc., where the driver can operate the vehicle. For example, the vehicle body may also include structural components such as a steering wheel, clutch, and brakes to enable the vehicle to perform its full functions; this application does not impose any limitations on these components.
[0049] The following is for reference. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 This application provides a door assembly 1, including a door body 10, a seal 20, and a door interior panel 30.
[0050] The door body 10 performs basic functions such as door opening and closing and collision protection. At the same time, the door body 10 provides mechanical support and installation reference for the seal 20 and the door interior panel 30.
[0051] The seal 20 can be installed around the door body 10 to prevent external rainwater, dust, and noise from entering the vehicle interior. The seal 20 has a sealing mating surface 21. Specifically, the sealing mating surface 21 faces the inside of the vehicle. A baffle 22 is integrated on the sealing mating surface 21 to cover the gap between the door interior panel 30 and the seal 20. Optionally, the seal 20 can be fixed around the edge of the door body 10 by means of clips, adhesive, or grooves. The sealing mating surface 21 can also be provided with micro-textures (such as diamond patterns or granular protrusions) to increase the coefficient of friction and suppress minor displacement of the door interior panel 30 after it is fastened. The surface of the baffle 22 can be covered with a matte coating or a flocked layer to reduce the visual abruptness caused by reflection. Conductive particles (such as carbon nanotubes or metal powder) can also be incorporated into the baffle 22 to give it electrostatic discharge function, preventing dust from being attracted by static electricity due to friction when the door is opened and closed, thus affecting the sealing effect.
[0052] The door interior trim panel 30 can be fixed to the door body 10. The edge of the door interior trim panel 30 can be fastened to the sealing mating surface 21. A mating gap 40 can be formed between the door interior trim panel 30 and the sealing mating surface 21. The baffle 22 can cover the aforementioned mating gap 40. Optionally, the door interior trim panel 30 can be installed on the inside of the door body 10 by bolts, clips, or a sliding groove structure, with its edge extending to and fastening to the sealing mating surface 21 of the seal 20.
[0053] It is important to understand that during the manufacturing process, manufacturing and assembly tolerances between the door trim panel 30 and the seal 20 prevent them from achieving a completely tight seal after being fastened together. Furthermore, during frequent opening and closing of the door or vehicle vibrations, gaps must be maintained to prevent wear or noise caused by hard contact between the door trim panel 30 and the seal 20. Additionally, due to the difference in thermal expansion coefficients between different materials (such as the metal door body and the plastic door trim panel), gaps are needed to buffer deformation stress. However, this results in exposed gaps between the door trim panel 30 and the seal 20, allowing users to directly observe the gaps or interference between them from a side view, thus affecting the user's visual experience.
[0054] The door assembly 1 provided in this application effectively covers the mating gap 40 formed by the edge of the door interior panel 30 and the sealing mating surface 21 through the shielding rib 22 provided on the seal 20. This not only eliminates the visual gap or interference defects caused by the exposed seam under the traditional pressing method, but also reduces the dependence on the assembly process precision of the door interior panel 30 and the seal 20 through the physical shielding function of the shielding rib 22. It allows the mating gap 40 to have a gap or interference within a certain tolerance range without affecting the appearance consistency.
[0055] In one possible implementation, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 The shielding rib 22 can be located on one side of the mating gap 40. Specifically, along the vehicle's front-to-back direction, the shielding rib 22 can be located on the rear side of the mating gap 40. Optionally, the rear end of the shielding rib 22 can be curved to naturally connect with the rear contour of the door, avoiding a visually discontinuous feeling caused by a right-angle transition. A transverse compensation groove can be provided at the rear root of the shielding rib 22 to allow the shielding rib 22 to adaptively adjust through the deformation of the transverse compensation groove when the door is closed due to slight displacement caused by inertia, avoiding deformation of the seal 20 due to hard compression. Furthermore, a guide fin can be added to the rear surface of the shielding rib 22 to guide the car wash water or rainwater to drain quickly along the direction of the fin, reducing the risk of water seeping into the mating gap 40.
[0056] Understandably, the rear-mounted shielding rib 22 can cover the rear seam area where the user's line of sight is concentrated, while also avoiding the abrupt transition of the door interior panel 30 edge that might be caused by the shielding rib 22 extending forward. In addition, the shielding rib 22 located on the rear side can naturally conform to the normal curvature of the seal 20, using the extension characteristics of the seal 20 itself to enhance the stability of the shielding structure, further reducing the risk of deformation of the shielding rib 22 caused by frequent opening and closing of the door or vibration, thereby continuously ensuring the seam shielding effect and visual flatness in dynamic usage scenarios.
[0057] In one possible implementation, the shielding rib 22 is integrally formed with the seal 20.
[0058] Understandably, the one-piece molding process creates a seamless support structure between the shielding rib 22 and the seal 20, avoiding the risks of loosening, deformation, or detachment that may occur when the shielding rib 22 is installed separately in traditional split designs. Furthermore, the one-piece molding process eliminates the need for additional assembly steps or connectors, allowing the shielding rib 22 to be constructed simultaneously during the injection molding stage of the seal 20. This simplifies the production process, reduces manufacturing costs, and ensures a high degree of consistency between the shielding rib 22 and the seal 20 in terms of material properties and mechanical performance, effectively preventing shielding failure due to material differences or thermal expansion and contraction.
[0059] In one possible implementation, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The door interior trim panel 30 includes a panel body 31 and a rear side panel 32. The rear side panel 32 can be located behind the panel body 31. Specifically, along the vehicle's driving direction ( Figure 1 and Figure 2In the forward direction of the door panel 31, the rear side panel 32 can be located behind the main body 31. In this case, the main body 31 and the door body 10 are arranged opposite each other. Further, the first end of the rear side panel 32 can be connected to the main body 31. The second end of the rear side panel 32 can abut against the sealing mating surface 21 to form a mating gap 40. Optionally, the main body 31 can be made of lightweight composite material, and the rear side panel 32 can be made of high wear-resistant engineering plastic to achieve a balance between performance and cost. The main body 31 and the rear side panel 32 can be connected by a snap-fit. The inner side of the first end of the rear side panel 32 can be designed with a flexible snap-fit, and the corresponding position of the main body 31 can be pre-embedded with a snap-fit groove. During assembly, quick locking can be achieved by pressing or sliding in. Alternatively, the main body 31 and the rear side panel 32 can be fixed by bolts to ensure a stable connection between them.
[0060] In this way, the main body of the trim panel 31, as the core component of the door interior panel 30, can cover the inside of the door body 10 and undertake the main decoration and functional integration (such as switches and storage compartments). The rear side panel 32, as an extension or independent sub-component of the main body of the trim panel 31, is located at its rear edge and can focus on local functions such as seam concealment and dynamic deformation compensation.
[0061] Understandably, the rear side panel 32 is connected to the main body of the trim panel 31 through the first end and abuts against the sealing mating surface 21 through the second end, which can form a controllable mating gap 40 boundary, allowing the rear side panel 32 to focus on local matching of the joint area and reduce the impact of the overall assembly tolerance of the trim panel 31 on the uniformity of the joint.
[0062] In one possible implementation, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 The shielding rib 22 can be parallel to the rear side panel 32. Optionally, a hidden guide channel can be provided in the parallel gap between the shielding rib 22 and the rear side panel 32 to guide rainwater out along the edge of the door and prevent water from seeping into the mating gap 40.
[0063] Understandably, by arranging the shielding rib 22 parallel to the rear side panel 32, the shielding rib 22 can form a continuous linear shielding band along the extension direction of the rear side panel 32, ensuring that the mating gap 40 is evenly covered and avoiding the exposure of local gaps due to the angular deviation of the shielding rib 22. At the same time, this design, through its parallel relationship with the rear side panel 32, ensures that the shielding rib 22 maintains synchronous displacement with the door interior panel 30 when the door is closed or during dynamic vibration, reducing the risk of shielding failure caused by the relative movement of the two.
[0064] In one possible implementation, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2The shielding rib 22 is spaced apart from or abuts against the rear side panel 32. For example, the shielding ribs 22 of both the front and rear doors are spaced apart from the rear side panel 32. Alternatively, the shielding ribs 22 of both the front and rear doors are abutting against the rear side panel 32. Alternatively, the shielding rib 22 of the front door is abutting against the rear side panel 32, while the shielding rib 22 of the rear door is spaced apart from the rear side panel 32. Alternatively, the shielding rib 22 of the front door is spaced apart from the rear side panel 32, while the shielding rib 22 of the rear door is abutting against the rear side panel 32. Optionally, when the shielding rib 22 is spaced apart from the rear side panel 32, a micro-airbag can be installed in the gap between the shielding rib 22 and the rear side panel 32. The micro-airbag is connected to an on-board air pump; the micro-airbag can inflate to fill the gap when inflated, and can deflate to restore the gap between the shielding rib 22 and the rear side panel 32 when deflated. This allows for flexible adjustments based on vehicle operating conditions, balancing performance and aesthetic requirements.
[0065] Understandably, by spacing the shielding rib 22 from the rear side panel 32 or fitting them together, design requirements can be dynamically adapted, balancing shielding stability with structural tolerance compatibility. If spaced out, the gaps can absorb relative displacement between the door interior panel 30 and the seal 20 caused by thermal expansion and contraction or vibration, preventing stress concentration or wear caused by hard contact between the shielding rib 22 and the rear side panel 32. If fitted together, the gaps can be directly sealed through surface or line contact, maximizing the shielding effect and using the friction of the mating surfaces to suppress the shaking of the shielding rib 22 under dynamic conditions. Both states can be flexibly selected based on different vehicle model requirements, adapting to diverse assembly scenarios simply by adjusting the spacing parameters or the degree of fit without altering the basic structure.
[0066] In one possible implementation, the ratio of the height of the blocking rib 22 to the height of the rear side panel 32 is 0.1-0.3. Alternatively, the ratio of the height of the blocking rib 22 to the width of the mating gap 40 is 2.5-5. Or, the ratio of the height of the blocking rib 22 to the height of the rear side panel 32 is 0.1-0.3, and the ratio of the height of the blocking rib 22 to the width of the mating gap 40 is 2.5-5. The ratio of the height of the blocking rib 22 to the height of the rear side panel 32 can be 0.1, 0.12, 0.14, 0.16, 0.18, 0.2, 0.22, 0.24, 0.26, 0.28, 0.3, etc. The ratio of the height of the blocking rib 22 to the height of the rear side panel 32 can be determined according to actual needs, and this application does not impose any limitations. The ratio of the height of the blocking rib 22 to the width of the mating gap 40 can be 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, etc. The ratio of the height of the shielding rib 22 to the width of the mating gap 40 can be determined according to actual needs, and this application does not impose any restrictions.
[0067] Understandably, by using the height ratio of the aforementioned shielding rib 22 to the rear side panel 32, the sealing effect can be guaranteed while avoiding a decrease in the rigidity of the seal 20 or a visually abrupt appearance due to excessive height of the shielding rib 22. Simultaneously, the supporting strength of the rear side panel 32 to the door interior panel 30 can be ensured. By using the height ratio of the aforementioned shielding rib 22 to the width of the mating gap 40, the width tolerance range of the mating gap 40 can be completely covered through a three-dimensional shielding effect. Even under the maximum tolerance conditions, the visible gap can still be eliminated through the projected area of the shielding rib 22.
[0068] In one possible implementation, the shielding rib 22 is an elastic structure. For example, the shielding rib 22 can be made of materials such as EPDM rubber, thermoplastic polyurethane, silicone rubber, thermoplastic elastomer, and nano-reinforced elastomer.
[0069] Understandably, the material properties and deformation capabilities of the elastic shielding rib 22 enable dynamic shielding and adaptive compensation. Under conditions of door closure or vibration, the elastic shielding rib 22 can actively conform to the minute displacements or tolerance fluctuations of the door interior panel 30 edge through its own bending or compression deformation, avoiding localized stress concentration or shielding failure caused by rigid contact. Simultaneously, the elastic structure of the shielding rib 22 can absorb the impact energy generated during door opening and closing, reducing the risk of wear between the shielding rib 22 and the rear side panel 32 or the seal 20, and extending the service life of the shielding rib 22.
[0070] In one possible implementation, the height of the shielding rib 22 is 3mm-5mm. For example, the height of the shielding rib 22 can be 3mm, 3.1mm, 3.3mm, 3.5mm, 3.7mm, 3.9mm, 4.1mm, 4.3mm, 4.5mm, 4.7mm, 4.9mm, 5mm, etc. The height of the shielding rib 22 can be determined according to actual needs, and this application does not impose any restrictions.
[0071] Understandably, the aforementioned size range ensures that the retaining rib 22 completely covers the mating gap 40 between the door interior panel 30 and the seal 20 in the door assembly 1, eliminating the visibility of the gap from the user's side view. Simultaneously, a smaller increase in material usage prevents a decrease in the overall rigidity of the seal 20, avoiding the risk of the retaining rib 22 collapsing or twisting due to excessive height.
[0072] Furthermore, this application also provides a vehicle including the aforementioned door assembly 1.
[0073] The vehicle provided in this application, by incorporating the aforementioned door assembly 1, can improve the visual quality and craftsmanship of the entire vehicle's side area. The covering ribs 22 in the door assembly 1 effectively eliminate the visible gaps between the joints in traditional designs, enhancing the overall appearance and texture of the vehicle.

The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and do not limit the patent scope of this application.
