[0036] In related technologies, the sealing strip is installed between the decorative panel and the through-light assembly. The sealing strip is subject to compression from the decorative panel and the through-light assembly, making it prone to collapse. In particular, when the lip of the sealing element is lengthened and overlaps the decorative panel, the lip is in a non-free state and is subjected to an upward reaction force perpendicular to the decorative panel. This reaction force makes the top of the bubble tube more prone to collapse, affecting the aesthetics and the sealing performance of the front hood.

[0037] Please refer to the following for details. Figure 1This application provides a lamp sealing strip for installation between the through-light assembly 10 and the decorative panel 20 of a vehicle. For ease of understanding, the directions in this utility model are first defined as follows: The directions of up, down, front, back, left, and right involved in this utility model refer to the vehicle's orientation in the O-XYZ coordinate system. The origin O coincides with the vehicle's center of mass. The front end refers to the X-direction parallel to the ground pointing forward; the rear end refers to the X-direction parallel to the ground pointing backward; the left side refers to the Y-direction parallel to the ground pointing to the driver's left; the right side refers to the Y-direction parallel to the ground pointing to the driver's right; the upper end refers to the Z-direction passing through point O pointing upward; the lower end refers to the Z-direction passing through point O pointing downward; and the XY plane is a horizontal plane.

[0038] A continuous light assembly 10 refers to a light cluster designed at the front end of a vehicle that runs along the Y-axis across the entire front end, providing a unique lighting effect and appearance. The continuous light assembly 10 typically consists of a continuous light strip that runs the entire front end, making the light appear as a seamless line. The continuous light assembly 10 is multifunctional, providing various lighting effects such as daytime running lights, turn signals, and high beams. The continuous light assembly 10 improves visibility and increases vehicle recognizability. A beautification panel 20 is installed in the front engine compartment of the vehicle, covering the components within the front engine compartment to enhance its aesthetics. Storage space can be designed into the beautification panel 20.

[0039] The lamp assembly sealing strip includes a bulb section 100 and a lip section 200. The bulb section 100 includes a top wall 110, a bottom wall 140, a first side wall 120, and a second side wall 130. The top wall 110 and bottom wall 140 are opposite each other, and the first side wall 120 and second side wall 130 are opposite each other, all connected between the top wall 110 and bottom wall 140. The top wall 110, bottom wall 140, first side wall 120, and second side wall 130 together enclose a hollow cavity. It can be understood that the bulb section 100 is a tubular structure with a hollow interior forming a hollow cavity. Compared to a solid structure, the hollow tubular structure can reduce the weight of the sealing strip, thereby reducing the vehicle's weight. Furthermore, the hollow tubular structure provides greater elasticity and deformation capacity, making the sealing strip more adaptable to irregular surface shapes and improving the sealing effect.

[0040] The top wall 110 of the foam tube section 100 is used to abut against the front hood 30 of the vehicle. The front hood 30 is located at the front of the vehicle and can be rotated to open or close the front engine compartment. When the front engine compartment is closed, the front hood 30 and the decorative panel 20 are vertically aligned.

[0041] The first sidewall 120 of the bulb tube portion 100 is used to abut against the through-light assembly 10. The lip 200 is connected to the second sidewall 130 of the bulb tube portion 100, and the end of the lip 200 facing away from the first sidewall 120 is used to abut against the decorative panel 20. In this way, the through-light assembly 10 and the decorative panel 20 can act on the lamp assembly sealing strip, causing the lamp assembly sealing strip to have a tendency to deform.

[0042] The thickness of the top wall 110 is greater than the thickness of at least a portion of the lip 200. That is, the thickness of the top wall 110 can be greater than the thickness of the entire lip 200, or it can be greater than the thickness of only a portion of the lip 200. It is understandable that when the thickness of the top wall 110 is uneven, and the thickness gradually increases along the front-to-rear direction of the vehicle, the thickness of the thinnest part of the top wall 110 is greater than the thickness of the thinnest region of the lip 200.

[0043] In this configuration, the top wall 110 is larger than the bottom wall 140 along the front-to-back direction, giving the bulb section 100 an approximate trapezoidal shape that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. The through-lamp assembly 10 is press-fitted to the top of the first side wall 120, and the front hood 30 is press-fitted to the top wall 110, thereby achieving a seal.

[0044] The sealing strip for the lamp assembly is made of rubber or other materials.

[0045] In the above embodiments, by making the thickness of the top wall 110 greater than the thickness of at least a portion of the lip 200, the deformation of the bubble tube 100 after being subjected to the force of the through-light assembly 10 and the decorative panel 20 is located on the lip 200, so that the bubble tube 100 does not collapse, thereby ensuring the sealing effect of the front hood 30 and making it more aesthetically pleasing.

[0046] In some embodiments, the lip 200 includes an abutment portion 220 and a connecting portion 210. The abutment portion 220 abuts against the beautification panel 20, and the connecting portion 210 connects the abutment portion 220 and the second sidewall 130. The thickness of both the abutment portion 220 and the top wall 110 is greater than the thickness of the connecting portion 210. It is understood that the connecting portion 210 is a stress concentration area of ​​the lip 200 and is prone to deformation under external forces; this design helps to constrain the deformation within the connecting portion 210. The connecting portion 210 of the lip 200 is located at the end where it connects to the bubble tube portion 100; that is, the connecting portion 210 is relatively closer to the bubble tube portion 100.

[0047] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the lip 200 has a first top surface 200a and a first bottom surface 200b distributed along the thickness direction, wherein a portion of at least one of the first top surface 200a and the first bottom surface 200b is recessed relative to the other to form a connecting portion 210.

[0048] Specifically, the connecting portion 210 can be formed in the following ways: a portion of the first bottom surface 200b is recessed relative to the first top surface 200a, and a portion of the first top surface 200a is recessed relative to the first bottom surface 200b, to form the connecting portion 210 of the lip 200. Alternatively, a portion of the first bottom surface 200b can be recessed relative to the first top surface 200a to form the connecting portion 210 of the lip 200, while the first top surface 200a is a smoothly extending surface. Another option is that a portion of the first top surface 200a can be recessed relative to the first bottom surface 200b to form the connecting portion 210 of the lip 200, while the first bottom surface 200b is a smoothly extending surface.

[0049] In some embodiments, the lip 200 extends in a direction away from the first sidewall 120, and along the extending direction of the lip 200, the connecting portion 210 of the lip 200 gradually tapers from both ends toward the middle. It is understood that the gradually tapering structure can disperse the stress gradient, thereby making the structural undulations of the connecting portion 210 after deformation relatively smooth, extending the service life and improving the aesthetics.

[0050] Specifically, in some embodiments, a portion of the first bottom surface 200b is recessed relative to the first top surface 200a, and a portion of the first top surface 200a is recessed relative to the first bottom surface 200b. Furthermore, the recessed structures of the top and bottom surfaces are both arc-shaped grooves, thus forming the aforementioned structure in which the connecting portion 210 of the lip 200 gradually tapers from both ends toward the middle along the extension direction of the lip 200.

[0051] In some embodiments, the minimum thickness of the connecting portion 210 of the lip 200 is 1 mm to 1.5 mm. In some specific embodiments, the minimum thickness of the connecting portion 210 of the lip 200 is 1 mm, 1.18 mm, or 1.5 mm.

[0052] For the installation of the lamp assembly sealing strip, in some embodiments, the lamp assembly sealing strip further includes a snap-fit ​​structure 300. The snap-fit ​​structure 300 is connected to the bulb tube portion 100, and the bulb tube portion 100 is connected to the vehicle body through the snap-fit ​​structure 300, thereby realizing the quick installation of the lamp assembly sealing strip. In some specific embodiments, the snap-fit ​​structure 300 is disposed on the bottom wall 140 for snap-fit ​​connection with the lamp assembly mounting plate 40.

[0053] In other embodiments, an adhesive layer is provided between the bottom wall 140 and the lamp mounting plate, connecting the bulb section 100 and the lamp mounting plate through the adhesive layer. The adhesive layer is obtained by curing adhesive, ensuring a firm connection between the bulb section 100 and the lamp mounting plate.

[0054] In some embodiments, the lip 200 bends away from the decorative panel 20 so that the abutment portion 220 overlaps the decorative panel 20. It is understood that the abutment portion 220 is positioned above the decorative panel 20, forming an overlapping structure that enhances the overall stability and aesthetics. Furthermore, the bent lip 200 is in a non-free state and experiences an upward reaction force perpendicular to the decorative panel 20. This reaction force is transmitted through the lip 200 to the bubble tube portion 100, causing the top wall 110 of the bubble tube portion 100 to tend to collapse downwards. At this time, the connecting portion 210 fully deforms to release stress, reducing the reaction force transmitted to the bubble tube portion 100, thereby ensuring that the top wall 110 of the bubble tube portion 100 does not collapse.

[0055] In some embodiments, the length of the overlap between the abutment portion 220 of the lip 200 and the decorative panel 20 is not less than 3mm. In some specific embodiments, the length of the overlap portion is 3mm or 4mm. The length of the overlap portion can be adjusted according to actual needs to adapt to different vehicle models and lighting designs.

[0056] In some embodiments, from bottom to top, one end of the first sidewall 120 connected to the top wall 110 gradually slopes away from the second sidewall 130, forming a first abutment portion 121, which is used to abut against the through-light assembly 10. Since the front hood 30 presses against the top wall 110 when the front hood is closed, the arched shape of the top wall 110 deforms, causing the first abutment portion 121 to shift towards the through-light assembly 10, thereby improving the sealing performance.

[0057] In some embodiments, the lip 200 is connected to the top of the second sidewall 130 and is on the same arc as the top wall 110. The first top surface 200a of the lip 200, the top surface of the second sidewall 130, and the top surface of the top wall 110 smoothly transition at their junctions, forming a continuous arcuate structure. When the first sidewall 120 interferes with the through-lamp assembly 10, the force is transmitted to the lip 200 through the top wall 110, thereby ensuring that deformation occurs at the lip 200.

[0058] This application also provides a vehicle including a lamp sealing strip.

[0059] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical solutions of this application and are not intended to limit it. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein.
