Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle technology, and more particularly to a door and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] As a key functional component of the car body, the car door not only undertakes the basic functions of allowing people to enter and exit, collision protection, and sealing and sound insulation, but also needs to achieve a balance between appearance and aerodynamic performance.

[0003] Existing door handles reduce air resistance and improve the surface flatness of the door by embedding part of the structure into the outer panel of the door.

[0004] However, the existing doors have poor aesthetic integrity, which affects the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, this application provides a car door and a vehicle that helps to solve the problem of poor appearance integrity of the car door, so as to improve the visual integrity of the car door and thus improve the user experience.

[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, including: an outer door panel with a clearance opening; a door reinforcement plate disposed on the inner side of the outer door panel, defining an installation space communicating with the clearance opening between the outer door panel and the door reinforcement plate; a handle assembly including: a handle base and a handle body, the handle base being disposed in the installation space, a portion of the handle base being located in the clearance opening and forming a hand-holding groove, the handle body being movably connected to the handle base, the handle body having a handle portion extending into the clearance opening, the handle portion being arranged side-by-side with the groove of the hand-holding groove, and the handle portion having an assembly gap with the peripheral wall of the clearance opening; and a seal, the seal being disposed in the handle assembly and sealing the assembly gap.

[0008] The vehicle door provided in this application, by adding a seal at the assembly gap between the handle and the surrounding wall of the clearance opening, seals the assembly gap, eliminating the visual discontinuity caused by exposed assembly gaps, thereby improving the overall visual integrity of the vehicle door and enhancing the user experience. Furthermore, the seal acts as a physical barrier, preventing water, dust, and other foreign objects from entering the handle assembly, avoiding potential structural jamming, abnormal noises, and water accumulation / icing hazards. It also improves the airtightness of the door, reducing wind noise at high speeds, achieving a comprehensive optimization of aesthetics and sealing protection.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the handle base includes a mounting portion surrounding the clearance opening, the mounting portion being located inside the outer door panel and around the handle portion, and the seal being fixed to one of the mounting portion and the handle portion and extending toward the other.

[0010] Thus, by fixing the seal to either the mounting portion of the handle base or the handle portion and extending towards the other, the extended part of the seal can cover the assembly gap area. When the door is closed, the seal effectively conceals the visible gap between the handle body and the outer door panel, eliminating the visual discontinuity caused by exposed assembly gaps. Simultaneously, the seal blocks the path of water, dust, and other foreign objects from entering the handle assembly through the assembly gap, preventing structural jamming or abnormal noise problems caused by foreign object accumulation.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the seal includes: a sealing body portion fixed to the mounting portion and located between the mounting portion and the outer door panel; and a sealing extension portion located at the edge of the sealing body portion and extending toward the handle portion, wherein at least a portion of the structure of the sealing extension portion is internally and externally opposed to the assembly gap.

[0012] In this way, the sealing main body is fixed to the mounting part and fills the gap between the mounting part and the outer door panel, thereby forming a static sealing layer that prevents external foreign objects from intruding into the handle assembly from the mounting part. The sealing extension extends from the edge of the sealing main body towards the handle, covering the assembly gap and forming a two-way barrier. This prevents external water and dust from seeping in from the outside of the assembly gap, and also prevents condensation or foreign objects inside the handle assembly from overflowing from the inside of the assembly gap. This achieves two-way sealing protection and structural self-sealing, improving the overall appearance while blocking the two-way penetration path of foreign objects.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the projection of the assembly gap onto the reference plane is located inside the projection of the sealing extension onto the reference plane, and the reference plane is parallel to the outer surface of the door panel.

[0014] Thus, by designing the projection of the assembly gap onto the reference plane to be inside the sealing extension, the projection of the sealing extension onto the reference plane can completely cover the projection area of ​​the assembly gap. This ensures that when viewed from any angle outside the vehicle, the effective shielding range of the seal is always greater than the exposed area of ​​the assembly gap, thereby eliminating the risk of local gaps becoming visible due to changes in viewing angle, and giving the door a smooth, seamless appearance.

[0015] In one possible implementation, the handle portion includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall, the first sidewall being flush with the outer surface of the door outer panel, the second sidewall being located on the periphery of the first sidewall and opposite to the mounting portion, wherein at least a portion of the structure of the second sidewall is recessed in a direction away from the mounting portion to form a recess, and the sealing extension portion extends into the recess from one side of the mounting portion.

[0016] In this way, the first sidewall is flush with the outer surface of the door panel, ensuring that the outer contour of the handle is seamless with the door's curved surface, maintaining visual continuity. By designing the sealing extension to extend into the recess of the second sidewall from the mounting side, the seal's resistance to displacement under external impact (such as high-pressure water guns in car washes or high-speed air pressure) can be enhanced, preventing the seal from detaching from the assembly gap due to unidirectional force.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the sealing body has a sealing contact on the side facing the outer panel of the door, and the sealing contact abuts against the outside of the door.

[0018] Thus, by adding a sealing antenna to the side of the sealing body facing the outer door panel, the micro-assembly gap between the outer door panel and the sealing body can be filled, and the antenna can form multi-point contact, enhancing the adaptability of the seal to door vibration and temperature changes.

[0019] In one possible implementation, the seal includes at least one of TPV and EPDM.

[0020] Therefore, selecting at least one of TPV and EPDM for the seal can fully utilize their high elasticity, weather resistance, and resistance to compression set. The high resilience of both materials ensures that the main body and the outer extension of the seal can return to their initial shape after frequent stress deformation, maintaining a continuous seal on the assembly gap and avoiding relaxation of the sealing interface due to material fatigue. This ensures stable waterproofing, dustproofing, noise reduction, and appearance concealment.

[0021] In one possible implementation, the thickness of the seal is 0.5mm-1.5mm.

[0022] In this way, by limiting the thickness of the seal to between 0.5mm and 1.5mm, it can be ensured that the seal fills the assembly gap and avoid the problem of wear and cracking caused by the seal being too thin. It can also avoid the risk of increased rebound resistance, increased handle operating force, or jamming of moving parts caused by the seal being too thick.

[0023] In one possible implementation, the handle base is provided with a plurality of connecting holes distributed along its circumference, and the door reinforcement plate is provided with a plurality of mating holes corresponding one-to-one with the connecting holes. The handle base and the door reinforcement plate are connected by fasteners passing through the connecting holes and the mating holes.

[0024] Thus, by designing multiple connecting holes circumferentially on the handle base and aligning them one-to-one with the mating holes on the door reinforcement plate, accurate positioning and balanced force distribution during handle base installation can be achieved. The circumferentially distributed connecting holes ensure that the tightening force is evenly transmitted along the handle base contour, avoiding localized stress concentration or installation deformation caused by unilateral locking. Simultaneously, the multi-hole fixing method enhances the connection rigidity between the handle assembly and the door reinforcement plate, effectively suppressing abnormal noises caused by vibration during vehicle operation.

[0025] On the other hand, this application also provides a vehicle, including: a door as described in any of the above possible implementations.

[0026] In this way, a seamless visual connection is achieved between the outer door panel and the handle through a seal, resulting in a smooth and streamlined overall shape for the vehicle's side profile. This enhances aerodynamic performance and reduces wind noise. Furthermore, by using the aforementioned door design, the consistency and synergy of the entire vehicle's sealing system are improved, effectively preventing external water and dust from entering the doors and interior of the vehicle. This avoids problems such as abnormal noises, component jamming, or interior contamination caused by partial seal failure, thus extending the vehicle's lifespan. Attached Figure Description

[0042] 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.

[0043] 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.

[0044] 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.

[0045] 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.

[0046] 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.

[0047] 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.

[0048] Existing door handles reduce air resistance and improve surface smoothness by embedding part of their structure into the outer door panel. However, the overall appearance of existing door handles is not very clean, which negatively impacts the user experience. Specifically, there is a gap between the perimeter of the existing door handle and the outer door panel, allowing the internal locking mechanism, wiring harness, and fixing screws to be directly visible from outside the vehicle. This creates a visually disjointed appearance, especially under dark paint or strong sunlight, where the reflection of the exposed metal parts exacerbates the cheap look. Furthermore, the gap creates an open channel for water seepage, allowing rainwater and car wash liquid to seep into the handle, causing water accumulation, ice formation, and dust buildup, which can lead to problems such as handle sticking and rattling. The gap also affects the door's airtightness, resulting in wind noise.

[0049] In view of this, this application provides a vehicle door and vehicle. By adding a seal to the assembly gap between the handle and the surrounding wall of the clearance opening, the assembly gap is sealed, eliminating the visual discontinuity caused by exposed assembly gaps, thereby improving the overall visual integrity of the vehicle door and enhancing the user experience. Furthermore, the seal acts as a physical barrier, preventing water, dust, and other foreign objects from entering the handle assembly, avoiding structural jamming, abnormal noises, and water accumulation and icing hazards. It also improves the airtightness of the door to reduce wind noise at high speeds, achieving a comprehensive optimization of aesthetics and sealing protection.

[0050] 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.

[0051] 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.

[0052] 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.

[0053] 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.

[0054] The following is for reference. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 This application provides a vehicle door 1, including an outer door panel 10, a door reinforcing plate 20, a handle assembly 40, and a seal 60. An allowance opening 11 may be provided on the outer door panel 10. The door reinforcing plate 20, serving as the load-bearing frame inside the door 1, may be located on the inner side of the outer door panel 10. Furthermore, an installation space 30 may be defined between the outer door panel 10 and the door reinforcing plate 20. The installation space 30 communicates with the allowance opening 11. The handle assembly 40 may be located within the installation space 30, and the allowance opening 11 allows a portion of the handle assembly 40 to be exposed outside the outer door panel 10, thereby enabling user operation.

[0055] Furthermore, the handle assembly 40 includes a handle base 41 and a handle body 42. The handle base 41 is located within the mounting space 30. A portion of the handle base 41 is positioned within the clearance opening 11 and forms a hand-holding groove 411. The hand-holding groove 411 provides space for the user to apply force, guiding their fingers in a predetermined direction to open the door 1. The handle body 42 is movably connected to the handle base 41. When the user applies force to the handle body 42 through the hand-holding groove 411, the handle body 42 can move relative to the handle base 41 along a slide rail or hinge, thereby triggering the internal locking mechanism to unlock the door 1.

[0056] The handle body 42 also has a handle portion 421. The handle portion 421 can extend into the clearance opening 11. In this way, the handle portion 421 can be arranged side by side with the opening of the handle groove 411. It should be noted that, combined with Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 It can be observed that there is an assembly gap between the handle and the clearance. This is because there are unavoidable dimensional tolerances in the stamping, forming, welding, and assembly processes of the door outer panel, door reinforcement plate, and handle assembly. Therefore, a certain gap needs to be maintained to absorb the processing and installation errors between the components. Furthermore, components made of different materials will undergo linear deformation due to the difference in their coefficients of thermal expansion under temperature conditions. The assembly gap can prevent interference between components due to thermal stress deformation.

[0057] refer to Figure 4 The handle portion 421 of this application also has an assembly gap 50 between it and the peripheral wall of the clearance opening 11. However, the door 1 provided in this application also includes a seal 60. The seal 60 can be provided at the handle assembly 40 and seal the assembly gap 50. In this way, the door 1 provided in this application, by adding a seal 60 at the assembly gap 50 between the handle portion 421 and the peripheral wall of the clearance opening 11, seals the assembly gap 50, thereby blocking external views from peeking into the internal structure and eliminating the visual discontinuity caused by the exposed assembly gap 50, thus improving the visual integrity of the door 1 and improving the user experience. Furthermore, by setting the seal 60, a physical barrier can be provided to prevent water, dust and other foreign objects from entering the interior of the handle assembly 40, avoiding the structural jamming, abnormal noise and water accumulation and icing hazards caused by this, while improving the airtightness of the door 1 to reduce wind noise at high speeds, achieving a comprehensive optimization of appearance aesthetics and sealing protection.

[0058] In one possible implementation, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4The handle base 41 includes a mounting portion 412. The mounting portion 412 can be arranged around the clearance opening 11. The mounting portion 412 can be located inside the outer door panel 10, and can also be located around the handle portion 421. The mounting portion 412 can provide a fixing reference for the seal 60. Optionally, the seal 60 can be fixed to the mounting portion 412, and the seal 60 can extend toward the handle portion 421 to seal the assembly gap 50. Alternatively, the seal 60 can be fixed to the handle portion 421, and the seal 60 can extend toward the mounting portion 412 to seal the assembly gap 50.

[0059] Understandably, by fixing the seal 60 to either the mounting portion 412 or the handle portion 421 of the handle base 41 and extending it towards the other, the extended portion of the seal 60 can cover the assembly gap 50 area. When the door 1 is closed, the seal 60 can effectively cover the visible gap between the handle body 42 and the outer door panel 10, eliminating the visual discontinuity caused by the exposed assembly gap 50. At the same time, the seal 60 can block the path of water, dust, and other foreign objects into the handle assembly 40 through the assembly gap 50, avoiding structural jamming or abnormal noise problems caused by the accumulation of foreign objects.

[0060] In one possible implementation, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 The seal 60 includes a sealing body portion 61 and a sealing extension portion 62. The sealing body portion 61 can be fixedly mounted on the mounting portion 412. Furthermore, the sealing body portion 61 can be located between the mounting portion 412 and the outer door panel 10. The sealing extension portion 62 can be located at the edge of the sealing body portion 61 and extends towards the handle portion 421. To achieve sealing of the assembly gap 50 by the sealing extension portion 62, at least a portion of the structure of the sealing extension portion 62 should be aligned with the inside and outside of the assembly gap 50. Alternatively, the entire structure of the sealing extension portion 62 should be aligned with the inside and outside of the assembly gap 50.

[0061] In practical implementation, when at least a portion of the structure of the sealing extension 62 is aligned with the assembly gap 50, the outer side of the sealing extension 62 can be thickened to prevent water intrusion during high-pressure water flow impact. Dustproof hooks can also be provided on the inner side of the sealing extension 62 to prevent dust from escaping in the opposite direction through a one-way snap-fit ​​effect. When the entire structure of the sealing extension 62 is aligned with the assembly gap 50, the sealing extension 62 can be designed with a continuous wave-like or comb-like shape to allow for multi-stage deformation on both the inner and outer sides of the sealing extension 62 simultaneously. This allows the outer side of the sealing extension 62 to undergo compressive deformation when impacted by water flow, thereby increasing the contact pressure. Meanwhile, the inner side of the sealing extension 62 can deform in tandem with the movement of the handle 421 to maintain a dynamic sealing interface.

[0062] Understandably, the sealing body 61 is fixed to the mounting part 412 and fills the gap between the mounting part 412 and the outer door panel 10, thereby forming a static sealing layer that prevents external foreign objects from intruding into the handle assembly 40 from the mounting part 412. The sealing extension 62 extends from the edge of the sealing body 61 toward the handle part 421. The sealing extension 62 can cover the assembly gap 50, thereby forming a two-way interception barrier. It can prevent external water and dust from seeping in from the outside of the assembly gap 50, and it can also prevent condensate or foreign objects inside the handle assembly 40 from overflowing from the inside of the assembly gap 50. This achieves two-way sealing protection and structural self-sealing, improving the overall appearance while blocking the two-way penetration path of foreign objects.

[0063] In one possible implementation, refer to Figure 4 The projection of the assembly gap 50 onto the reference plane can be located inside the projection of the sealing extension 62 onto the reference plane. Specifically, the reference plane can be parallel to the outer surface of the door outer panel 10.

[0064] It is understandable that by designing the projection of the assembly gap 50 onto the reference plane to be inside the sealing extension 62, the projection of the sealing extension 62 onto the reference plane can completely cover the projection area of ​​the assembly gap 50. This ensures that when viewed from any angle outside the vehicle, the effective shielding range of the seal 60 is always greater than the exposed area of ​​the assembly gap 50, thereby eliminating the risk of local gaps becoming visible due to changes in viewing angle, and making the appearance of the door 1 present a smooth effect without any breaks.

[0065] In one possible implementation, refer to Figure 4 The handle portion 421 includes a first sidewall 422 and a second sidewall 423. The first sidewall 422 may be flush with the outer surface of the door outer panel 10. The second sidewall 423 may be located around the periphery of the first sidewall 422. Furthermore, the second sidewall 423 may be opposite to the mounting portion 412. A portion of the structure of the second sidewall 423 may be recessed downwards to form a recess 424. Specifically, a portion of the structure of the second sidewall 423 may be recessed in a direction away from the mounting portion 412 to form the recess 424. Alternatively, the entire structure of the second sidewall 423 may be recessed in a direction away from the mounting portion 412 to form the recess 424. In this way, the sealing extension portion 62 may extend into the recess 424 from one side of the mounting portion 412. The sealing extension portion 62 may also be provided with a guide groove to guide the directional flow of accumulated water.

[0066] Understandably, the first sidewall 422 is flush with the outer surface of the door outer panel 10 to ensure that the outer contour of the handle portion 421 is level with the curved surface of the door 1, maintaining visual continuity. By designing the sealing extension portion 62 to extend from the mounting portion 412 into the recess 424 of the second sidewall 423, the resistance of the seal 60 to displacement under external impact (such as high-pressure water guns for car washes, high-speed air pressure) can be enhanced, preventing the seal 60 from detaching from the assembly gap 50 due to unidirectional force.

[0067] In one possible implementation, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 The sealing body 61 is also provided with sealing antennas 611. The sealing antennas 611 can be located on the side of the sealing body 61 facing the outer door panel 10. This allows the sealing antennas 611 to abut against the outside of the door 1. Multiple sealing antennas 611 can be provided. These multiple sealing antennas 611 can be spaced apart around the handle portion 421. The sealing antennas 611 can be conical, hemispherical, or fin-shaped. Reinforcing ribs can also be provided at the base of the sealing antennas 611 to prevent tearing due to frequent compression.

[0068] It is understood that by adding a sealing contact 611 to the side of the sealing body 61 facing the outer door panel 10, the micro-assembly gap between the outer door panel 10 and the sealing body 61 can be filled, and the contact 611 can form multi-point contact, enhancing the adaptability of the seal 60 to vibration and temperature changes of the door 1. In one possible implementation, the seal 60 can be made of thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV). Alternatively, the seal 60 can be made of ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM). Or, the seal 60 can be made of both TPV and EPDM. For example, the sealing body 61 and the sealing extension 62 can be made of TPV, while the sealing contact 611 can be made of EPDM. The seal 60 can also be made of other elastic materials. The specific material of the seal 60 can be determined according to actual needs, and this application does not impose any limitations.

[0069] Understandably, the seal 60 is made of at least one of TPV and EPDM, which can fully utilize its high elasticity, weather resistance, and resistance to compression set. The high resilience of the two materials ensures that the sealing body 61 and the sealing extension 62 can still return to their initial shape after frequent stress deformation, maintaining a continuous seal on the assembly gap 50 and avoiding relaxation of the sealing interface due to material fatigue, thereby stably achieving waterproof, dustproof, noise reduction, and appearance concealment effects.

[0070] In one possible implementation, the thickness of the seal 60 is 0.5mm-1.5mm. For example, the thickness of the seal 60 can be 0.5mm, 0.6mm, 0.7mm, 0.8mm, 0.9mm, 1mm, 1.1mm, 1.2mm, 1.3mm, 1.4mm, or 1.5mm. The thickness of the seal 60 can be determined according to actual needs, and this application does not impose any limitations.

[0071] Understandably, by limiting the thickness of the seal 60 to between 0.5mm and 1.5mm, it is possible to ensure that the seal 60 fills the assembly gap 50 and avoid the problem of wear and cracking caused by the seal 60 being too thin. It is also possible to avoid the risk of increased rebound resistance, increased handle operating force, or jamming of moving parts caused by the seal 60 being too thick.

[0072] In one possible implementation, the handle base 41 is provided with multiple connecting holes 413. These connecting holes 413 can be distributed circumferentially along the handle base 41. The door reinforcement plate 20 can be provided with multiple mating holes. Each mating hole corresponds one-to-one with a connecting hole 413. Thus, the handle base 41 and the door reinforcement plate 20 can be connected by fasteners passing through the connecting holes 413 and the mating holes. Optionally, the fasteners can be bolts, rivets, etc.

[0073] Understandably, by providing multiple connecting holes 413 circumferentially around the handle base 41 and aligning them one-to-one with the mating holes of the door reinforcement plate 20, accurate positioning and balanced force distribution during handle base 41 installation can be achieved. The circumferentially distributed connecting holes 413 ensure that the fastening force is evenly transmitted along the contour of the handle base 41, avoiding localized stress concentration or installation deformation caused by unilateral locking. Simultaneously, the multi-hole fixing method enhances the connection rigidity between the handle assembly 40 and the door reinforcement plate 20, effectively suppressing abnormal noises caused by vibration during vehicle operation.

[0074] Furthermore, this application also provides a vehicle including the aforementioned door 1.

[0075] Understandably, the seamless visual connection between the outer door panel 10 and the handle via the seal 60 creates a smooth and streamlined overall shape for the vehicle body side, enhancing aerodynamic performance and reducing wind noise. Simultaneously, by employing the aforementioned door 1, the consistency and synergy of the entire vehicle's sealing system can be improved, effectively preventing external water and dust from intruding into the door 1 and the interior of the vehicle, avoiding problems such as abnormal noises, component jamming, or interior contamination caused by partial seal failure, and extending the vehicle's service life.

[0076] The sequence numbers of the embodiments in this application are for descriptive purposes only and do not represent the superiority or inferiority of the embodiments. The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and do not limit the patent scope of this application. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this application's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this application.
