[0004] In a first aspect, this application provides a water-cooling mounting structure for installing a seal; the water-cooling mounting structure includes multiple mounting members and multiple connecting members; the multiple mounting members are integrally formed on a reinforcing plate of the outer door panel, the seal has a mounting groove, and the multiple mounting members are configured to be held in the mounting groove and support the seal; the multiple connecting members are integrally formed on the reinforcing plate, and along a first direction, the multiple connecting members are disposed on one side of the multiple mounting members, and the multiple connecting members are configured to be connected to the outer door panel; along a second direction, the multiple mounting members and the multiple connecting members are alternately spaced, and the second direction intersects the first direction.

[0005] In one possible implementation, along a third direction, the connector is integrally formed on the end of the reinforcing plate away from the ground, and the height of the end of the connector away from the ground is lower than the height of the end of the outer door panel away from the ground. The third direction intersects with the first direction and the second direction.

[0006] In one possible implementation, along the third direction, the water-cutting installation structure further includes a reinforcing member, which is integrally formed on the end of the reinforcing plate away from the ground along the third direction. The reinforcing member is provided with a plurality of through slots, which penetrate the reinforcing member along the first direction.

[0007] Along the second direction, a plurality of through slots are arranged at intervals in sequence, and a connector is formed between any two adjacent through slots.

[0008] In one possible implementation, along the first direction, one side of the reinforcing member is connected to the outer door panel, and a plurality of the mounting members are correspondingly disposed with a plurality of the through slots. Along the first direction, the mounting member is located on the side of its corresponding through slot away from the outer door panel.

[0009] In one possible implementation, along the third direction, one end of the mounting member is integrally formed at the edge of the through groove near the ground, and the other end of the mounting member is held in the mounting groove.

[0010] In one possible implementation, along the first direction, the projection of the mounting member on the outer panel of the door is designated as the first projection, and the projection of the groove wall of the through groove on the outer panel of the door is designated as the second projection, with the first projection located within the area of ​​the second projection corresponding to it.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the reinforcing member further includes a connecting portion along a third direction, the connecting portion being connected to one end of the plurality of connecting members away from the ground, a limiting groove being formed on the outer panel of the door, the connecting portion being engaged within the limiting groove, and the third direction intersecting the first direction and the second direction.

Furthermore, unless expressly defined herein, terms such as those defined in a general dictionary should be interpreted as having the same meaning as they have in the relevant art and in the content of this application, and will not be interpreted as having an idealized or overly formal meaning.

[0028] The specific embodiments of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a vehicle 300, including a door 20 and a water-cutting structure 200. The vehicle 300 also includes a body 10, and the door 20 is movably connected to the body 10 to open or close the door 20. The door 20 is provided with a window glass 21, and the water-cutting structure 200 is connected to the door 20 to seal the window glass 21, preventing rainwater and other external water from flowing downwards along the window glass 21 and entering the interior of the vehicle 300.

[0030] For ease of reading, this application introduces the terms first direction Y, second direction X, and third direction Z to describe the embodiments of this application. The first direction Y, second direction X, and third direction Z can be three non-parallel straight lines in space; further, the first direction Y, second direction X, and third direction Z can be three mutually perpendicular directions in a three-dimensional coordinate system (a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system). In subsequent embodiments, the description will use the first direction Y as the Y-axis direction of the three-dimensional coordinate system, the second direction X as the X-axis direction of the three-dimensional coordinate system, and the third direction Z as the Z-axis direction of the three-dimensional coordinate system as examples. Wherein, the first direction Y is the direction of the width of the vehicle 300, the second direction X is the direction of the length of the vehicle 300, and the third direction Z is the direction of the height of the vehicle 300.

[0031] In this embodiment, the door 20 includes a reinforcing plate 24, an inner door panel 22, and an outer door panel 23. Taking the door 20 in a closed state relative to the vehicle 300 as an example, along the first direction Y, the inner door panel 22 is connected to one side of the outer door panel 23, and an installation space 25 is formed between the inner door panel 22 and the outer door panel 23. The reinforcing plate 24 and the water-cutting structure 200 are located within the installation space 25. Along the first direction Y, the reinforcing plate 24 is connected to the side of the outer door panel 23 near the inner door panel 22 to improve the structural strength of the outer door panel 23.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment also provides the above-mentioned water-cutting structure 200, which includes a sealing element 50 and a water-cutting mounting structure 100, the water-cutting mounting structure 100 being used to install the sealing element 50.

[0033] Along the third direction Z, the height of the end of the seal 50 away from the ground is lower than the height of the end of the outer door panel 23 away from the ground. Furthermore, along the first direction Y, both the seal 50 and the water-cutting mounting structure 100 are located within the mounting space 25 between the inner door panel 22 and the outer door panel 23, thus concealing the water-cutting structure 200 between the outer door panel 23 and the inner door panel 22. This achieves a concealed design of the water-cutting structure 200, preventing partial exposure and ensuring the aesthetics of the door 20 are maintained. Along the third direction Z, the bottom end of the window glass 21 extends downward into the mounting space 25. The seal 50 is made of an elastic material such as rubber, and it elastically abuts against the surface of the area of ​​the window glass 21 located within the mounting space 25, thereby achieving a seal between the seal 50 and the window glass 21.

[0034] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, this embodiment also provides the above-mentioned water-cutting installation structure 100, which includes a plurality of mounting parts 30 and a plurality of connecting parts 40.

[0035] Multiple mounting components 30 are integrally formed on the reinforcing plate 24. Along the third direction Z, the bottom end of the seal 50 is provided with a mounting groove 51, and the multiple mounting components 30 are configured to be held within the mounting groove 51 and support the seal 50. Multiple connecting components 40 are integrally formed on the reinforcing plate 24. Along the first direction Y, the multiple connecting components 40 are located on one side of the multiple mounting components 30 and are configured to connect to the outer door panel 23. Along the second direction X, the multiple mounting components 30 are spaced apart, and the multiple connecting components 40 are spaced apart, with the multiple mounting components 30 and multiple connecting components 40 alternating between each other, i.e., each connecting component 40 is located between two adjacent mounting components 30.

[0036] It is worth noting that there are multiple connectors 40, and all of the connectors 40 are connected to the outer door panel 23 by welding. This can reduce the weld length when welding the reinforcing plate 24 to the outer door panel 23, and avoid the heat concentration caused by a long weld length, which could lead to deformation or warping of the outer door panel 23. In addition, the multiple connectors 40 are spaced apart, which can avoid stress concentration and reduce the deformation of the door 20 due to stress concentration.

[0037] The number of first mounting parts 30 is set to multiple. Compared with directly cutting out a single complete section from the reinforcing plate 24 as a bracket for mounting the sealing part 50, this avoids the reduction of the welding area between the reinforcing plate 24 and the outer panel 23 of the door due to the bracket occupying a large area of ​​the reinforcing plate 24, thereby avoiding affecting the structural strength of the door 20.

[0038] Thus, the water-cutting mounting structure 100 of this application integrally forms the mounting part 30 on the reinforcing plate 24, and installs the seal 50 through the mounting part 30. Since the reinforcing plate 24 is an inherent reinforcing structure in the door 20, there is no need to add brackets or other structures to the door 20 to install the seal 50, thereby avoiding the problem of increased weight of the door 20 and higher development costs of the vehicle 300 due to the addition of brackets or other structures. Furthermore, multiple mounting parts 30 and multiple connecting parts 40 are alternately arranged, and the multiple connecting parts 40 are also integrally formed with the reinforcing plate 24. Multiple connecting parts 40 and multiple mounting parts 30 can be formed by cutting the reinforcing plate 24, and the multiple mounting parts 30 can be bent towards the side where the seal 50 is located before installing the seal 50. This allows for the rapid processing of the connecting parts 40 and mounting parts 30 based on the reinforcing plate 24, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the water-cutting mounting structure 100.

[0039] Please combine Figures 3 to 6 In one embodiment, along the third direction Z, the connector 40 is integrally formed on the end of the reinforcing plate 24 away from the ground, and the height of the end of the connector 40 away from the ground is lower than the height of the end of the outer door panel 23 away from the ground, so as to avoid the connector 40 being exposed on the outer door panel 23.

[0040] The water-cutting installation structure 100 also includes a reinforcing member 60. Along the third direction Z, the reinforcing member 60 is integrally formed on the end of the reinforcing plate 24 away from the ground. The reinforcing member 60 and the reinforcing plate 24 are integrally formed and together serve as a plate in the door 20 for structural reinforcement of the outer panel. Thus, the reinforcing member 60 and the reinforcing plate 24 can be regarded as a complete plate.

[0041] The side of the reinforcing member 60 is provided with multiple through slots 61. Along the first direction Y, the through slots 61 penetrate the reinforcing member 60. Along the second direction X, the multiple through slots 61 are arranged at intervals, and a connecting member 40 is formed between any two adjacent through slots 61. That is, after machining two adjacent through slots 61 on the reinforcing member 60, the area of ​​the reinforcing member 60 between the two adjacent through slots 61 is not grooved, thus forming the connecting member 40.

[0042] The through groove 61 is roughly rectangular in shape, and correspondingly, the connector 40 is also roughly rectangular in shape. The through groove 61 and the connector 40 can also be trapezoidal or other shapes, and no specific restrictions are imposed in this application.

[0043] In this embodiment, the reinforcing member 60 further includes a connecting portion 62, which is connected to the end of the plurality of connecting members 40 away from the ground along the third direction Z. A limiting groove 232 is formed on the outer panel 23 of the door, and the connecting portion 62 is engaged in the limiting groove 232.

[0044] Specifically, the connecting portion 62 is generally a long strip structure, and the extending direction of the connecting portion 62 is parallel to the second direction X, so that the top ends of the plurality of connecting members 40 provided along the second direction X can be connected to the connecting portion 62. Along the third direction Z, the connecting portion 62 is provided at intervals at the end of the reinforcing plate 24 away from the ground, and the plurality of connecting members 40 are located between the connecting portion 62 and the reinforcing plate 24.

[0045] Along the third direction Z, the top of the outer door panel 23 is provided with a bending portion 231. The bending portion 231 is integrally formed with the outer door panel 23. The bending portion 231 can be formed by bending the top of the outer door panel 23 downward.

[0046] Along the first direction Y, bends 231 are spaced apart on the side of the outer door panel 23 near the inner door panel 22, forming the aforementioned limiting groove 232 between the bends 231 and the outer door panel 23. The connecting part 62 is engaged within the limiting groove 232 to limit the connection between the connecting part 62 and the outer door panel 23, thereby limiting the connection between the multiple connecting members 40 connected to the connecting part 62 and the outer door panel 23, thus ensuring the connection stability between the reinforcing plate 24 and the reinforcing member 60 and the outer door panel 23.

[0047] Please combine Figures 3 to 6 In one embodiment, along the first direction Y, the side of the reinforcing member 60 away from the inner door panel 22 is connected to the outer door panel 23. Multiple mounting members 30 are correspondingly provided with multiple through slots 61, and along the first direction Y, the mounting member 30 is located on the side of its corresponding through slot 61 away from the outer door panel 23.

[0048] Along the third direction Z, one end of the mounting member 30 is integrally formed at the edge of the through groove 61 near the ground, and the other end of the mounting member 30 is held in the mounting groove 51. Thus, when the through groove 61 is cut into the reinforcing member 60, the area formed after the cutting of the reinforcing member 60 remains connected to the reinforcing member 60, and the mounting member 30 is formed by bending the area formed after the cutting towards the inner door panel 22. Along the third direction Z, the mounting member 30 is inclined upwards from its bottom end and towards the side away from the outer door panel 23.

[0049] In this embodiment, along the first direction Y, the projection of the mounting member 30 on the outer door panel 23 is designated as the first projection, and the projection of the groove wall of the through groove 61 on the outer door panel 23 is designated as the second projection. The first projection is located in the area of ​​the corresponding second projection, so as to ensure that the mounting member 30 can be formed by machining the through groove 61 on the reinforcing member 60.

[0050] Please combine Figure 7 and combined Figure 3 In one embodiment, the seal 50 includes a main body 52. ​​The main body 52 is generally elongated, and its extension direction is parallel to the second direction X. A mounting groove 51 is provided on the bottom end face of the main body 52 and extends through the main body 52 along the second direction X.

[0051] Along the first direction Y, a first abutment portion 53 protrudes from one side of the mounting groove 51, and a second abutment portion 54 protrudes from the other side of the mounting groove 51 away from the first abutment portion 53. The first abutment portion 53, the second abutment portion 54, and the main body portion 52 are integrally formed. The portion of the mounting member 30 located in the mounting groove 51 is clamped by the first abutment portion 53 and the second abutment portion 54, thereby achieving a snap-fit ​​connection between the mounting member 30 and the main body portion 52.

[0052] The number of first abutment parts 53 can be one or more, and the number of second abutment parts 54 can also be one or more. The number and specific structure of the first abutment parts 53 and the second abutment parts 54 are not limited in this application, as long as it is ensured that the first abutment parts 53 and the second abutment parts 54 can clamp the mounting part 30.

[0053] In this embodiment, the seal 50 further includes a first extension 55 and a second extension 56, which are integrally formed on the top surface of the main body 52. ​​The first extension 55 and the second extension 56 are inclined relative to each other. Along the first direction Y, the bottom end of the first extension 55 is integrally formed on the side of the main body 52 near the inner door panel 22, and the bottom end of the second extension 56 is integrally formed on the side of the main body 52 near the outer door panel 23. Along the first direction Y, the top end of the first extension 55 abuts against the side wall of the window glass 21, and the top end of the second abutting part 54 abuts against the top end of the connecting part 62.

[0054] Furthermore, the seal 50 also includes a third extension 57 and a fourth extension 58, which are integrally formed with the main body 52. ​​Along the first direction Y, the third extension 57 and the first extension 55 are located on the same side of the main body 52, and the fourth extension 58 and the second extension 56 are located on the same side of the main body 52. ​​Along the third direction Z, the third extension 57 is located below the first extension 55, and the third extension 57 cooperates with the first extension 55 to abut against the sidewall of the window glass 21. Along the third direction Z, the fourth extension 58 is located below the second extension 56, and the fourth extension 58 abuts against the sidewall of the connecting portion 62.

[0055] The specific embodiments of this application have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes and substitutions can be made to the specific embodiments of this application without departing from the scope of this application. All such changes and substitutions fall within the scope defined by this application.
