Detailed Implementation

[0037] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar components or components having the same or similar functions throughout. The described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of this application. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. The embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or the internal communication between two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0039] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0040] In the description of the embodiments of this application, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise specified precisely.

[0041] The terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," etc., used in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0042] Furthermore, the terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to such process, method, product, or apparatus.

[0043] With intensifying competition in the automotive industry and consumers demanding higher quality and better value for money, exterior automotive parts need to be more reliable, simple, and economical while maintaining aesthetic appeal.

[0044] Among them, the sealing performance of the car door is a very important performance indicator. In addition to preventing water and dust from entering the car, it can also reduce the noise inside the car and improve the vehicle's NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) performance.

[0045] In related technologies, the main structures affecting the sealing performance of car doors include the inner water cutter, outer water cutter, and outer trim panel. Both the outer water cutter and outer trim panel are mounted on the window frame sheet metal. Traditionally, the outer trim panel is positioned with the window frame sheet metal in the Y-axis, and the outer water cutter is positioned with the door stop in the Y-axis. In the X-axis direction, the end of the outer water cutter is manually smoothed and positioned with the window frame sheet metal, or the end of the outer water cutter is manually smoothed and positioned with the outer trim panel. This results in inconsistent positioning of the outer trim panel and the outer water cutter in the Y-axis, making it difficult to control the gap at the end of the outer water cutter in the Y-axis, causing gap deviations and affecting user experience. Furthermore, the accuracy of manual smoothing and positioning in the X-axis is low. In another approach, the outer trim panel is positioned with the window frame sheet metal in the Y-axis, and the end of the outer water cutter is positioned by screws in the Y-axis. In the X-axis direction, the end of the outer water cutter is manually smoothed and positioned with the window frame sheet metal. However, this screw-based positioning of the outer water cutter results in exposed screws or the need for additional corner screws, leading to an unsightly appearance and increased cost. In the traditional method, the outer water cutter is usually pressed onto the outer trim panel in the width direction of the vehicle, and the fit between the outer water cutter and the outer trim panel is achieved by manually smoothing and positioning it.

[0046] However, after prolonged use, the gap between the exterior trim panel and the outer water shear becomes larger due to difficulties in controlling the gap, poor stability between the outer water shear and the exterior trim panel, and poor positioning accuracy. This affects the sealing performance, and even the appearance of the vehicle, thus reducing the user experience.

[0047] Based on the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a window frame structure and a vehicle. In this technical solution, the window frame structure includes an outer decorative panel and an outer waterstop. The outer decorative panel is provided with a connector extending outward from the outer side of the outer decorative panel. The outer waterstop includes an mounting component and a decorative component, with the mounting component connected to the connector. The decorative component covers the outer side of the mounting component and can be installed on the outer decorative panel via the mounting component. By providing a connector extending outward from the outer decorative panel, the connector is directly mechanically connected to the mounting component of the outer waterstop, replacing the traditional manual pressing method of smoothing and positioning. This rigid connection significantly enhances the fixing strength between the outer decorative panel and the outer waterstop, reducing loosening or displacement caused by vibration or long-term use. It avoids sealing structure failure caused by human error or material fatigue in traditional methods, thereby improving the durability of the door's sealing performance. Furthermore, the connection between the connector and the mounting component allows for precise alignment without relying on manual adjustment. Reducing assembly errors ensures the relative position stability of the outer water cutter and the outer trim panel, thereby improving sealing uniformity, reducing the risk of sound and dust leakage, maintaining the consistency of the vehicle's appearance, and reducing visual defects caused by deformation of the outer water cutter structure.

[0048] It should be noted that, Figures 1 to 5 This diagram illustrates a simplified view of the window frame structure and other components within the vehicle. The specific structures of the window frame structure and other components are not limited to these examples. Figures 1 to 5 of examples.

[0049] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0050] Reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the illustration, an embodiment of this application provides a window frame structure including an outer decorative panel 100 and an outer water cutter 200. It should be noted that those skilled in the art will readily understand that the outer decorative panel 100 can be an outer decorative panel 100 installed on the outside of the vehicle's B-pillar, primarily serving to protect the B-pillar sheet metal and enhance the aesthetic appeal. The outer water cutter 200 can be a sealing strip installed in the groove at the lower edge of the door glass, cutting away water droplets, water mist, and dust from the glass surface when the window is raised or lowered, while also serving an aesthetic purpose.

[0051] The exterior trim panel 100 is provided with a connector 300, which extends outward from the exterior trim panel 100. The outer side of the exterior trim panel 100 faces outward from the vehicle. The exterior water deflector 200 includes a mounting member 210 and a trim piece 220. The mounting member 210 is connected to the connector 300; the trim piece 220 covers the outer side of the mounting member 210 and may be a rubber sealing strip. The trim piece 220 can be mounted to the exterior trim panel 100 via the mounting member 210.

[0052] In the above embodiment, a connector 300 extending outward from the outer trim panel 100 is provided on the outer trim panel 100. The connector 300 is directly mechanically connected to the mounting part 210 of the outer waterstop 200, replacing the traditional manual pressing method of smoothing and positioning. This rigid connection significantly enhances the fixing strength between the outer trim panel 100 and the outer waterstop 200, reducing loosening or displacement caused by vibration or long-term use. It avoids sealing structure failure caused by manual operation errors or material fatigue in the traditional method, thereby improving the durability of the door sealing performance. In addition, the fit between the connector 300 and the mounting part 210 can achieve precise alignment without relying on manual adjustment. This reduces assembly errors, ensures the relative position stability of the outer waterstop 200 and the outer trim panel 100, thereby improving sealing uniformity, reducing the risk of sound and dust leakage, maintaining the consistency of the vehicle appearance, and reducing visual defects caused by structural deformation of the outer waterstop 200.

[0053] In one possible implementation, the connector 300 is provided with a insertion groove 301, the extension direction of which is parallel to the extension direction of the connector 300.

[0054] The mounting component 210 is provided with a plug-in portion 211. The first end of the plug-in portion 211 is connected to the mounting component 210, and the second end of the plug-in portion 211 is inserted into the plug-in groove 301. It can be understood that by opening the plug-in groove 301 in the extending direction of the connector 300, a larger cross-sectional area of ​​the plug-in groove 301 can be ensured, which facilitates the connection between the plug-in portion 211 and the plug-in groove 301.

[0055] In the above embodiment, the connector 300 is provided with a parallel extending insertion groove 301, and the insertion part 211 of the mounting part 210 is inserted into the groove in a vertical direction to form a mechanical connection, thereby enhancing the durability of the connection structure. The rigid connection between the insertion part 211 and the connector 300 can prevent the outer trim panel 100 from warping or developing gaps due to uneven stress, maintain the visual consistency of the door frame over a long period of time, avoid appearance defects caused by deformation of the sealing structure, and maintain the vehicle's aesthetics.

[0056] In addition, by setting the plug slot 301, the structure is simplified, making the assembly of the outer water cutter 200 and the outer decorative panel 100 simple and enabling repeated disassembly and assembly, which is convenient for later maintenance and replacement.

[0057] In one possible implementation, the mounting member 210 includes a body 212 and a connecting portion 213, with the body 212 abutting against the decorative member 220.

[0058] The main body 212 is connected to the first end of the plug-in part 211 via the connecting part 213. The plug-in part 211 and the main body 212 are spaced apart, and at least a portion of the connector 300 is accommodated between the plug-in part 211 and the main body 212.

[0059] In the above embodiment, the main body 212 of the mounting component 210 is connected to the first end of the insertion part 211 via the connecting part 213, and the insertion part 211 and the main body 212 are spaced apart, with at least a portion of the connecting member 300 accommodated between the insertion part 211 and the main body 212. This forms a mechanical interlocking structure, tightly connecting the mounting component 210 of the outer water cutter 200 to the connecting member 300 of the outer decorative panel 100, further improving the connection stability between the outer decorative panel 100 and the outer water cutter 200. Through the geometric limiting of the nested insertion part 211 and the connecting member 300, and the rigid support of the connection between the main body 212 and the connecting part 213, the vibration displacement of the outer water cutter 200 and the outer decorative panel 100 during vehicle operation is suppressed, avoiding seal failure due to deformation. Compared with the traditional manual leveling and positioning, this reduces the need for manual adjustment, achieves rapid and accurate positioning, and avoids the error accumulation of traditional manual leveling and positioning.

[0060] In one possible implementation, a fixing part 214 is provided at the bottom end of the main body 212, and the main body 212 can be mounted on the window frame sheet metal via the fixing part 214. The fixing part 214 can be designed as a pointed cone shape to facilitate the insertion of the fixing part 214 into the window frame sheet metal.

[0061] In the above embodiment, the fixing part 214 connects the main body 212 of the mounting part 210 to the window frame sheet metal, which significantly improves the installation strength of the external water cutter 200 on the window frame sheet metal, resists vibration or impact, and avoids sealing failure due to deformation under force.

[0062] Reference Figure 3 As shown, in one possible implementation, the insertion slot 301 has at least one first inner wall 3011 and at least one second inner wall 3012.

[0063] The first inner wall 3011 and the second inner wall 3012 are connected. Within the plane of the connector 300, the extending direction of the first inner wall 3011 is perpendicular to the extending direction of the second inner wall 3012. For ease of understanding, the plane of the connector 300 can be horizontal, and the extending direction of one of the first inner wall 3011 and the second inner wall 3012 is the length direction of the vehicle. Figure 3 In the X-direction, the extension direction of the other of the first inner wall 3011 and the second inner wall 3012 is the width direction of the vehicle, that is... Figure 3 In the Y direction. Or, it can be understood that the cross-section of the insertion slot 301 is rectangular, with two first inner walls 3011 and two second inner walls 3012 connected end to end.

[0064] After the plug part 211 is inserted into the plug groove 301, the first inner wall 3011 is in contact with the first surface of the plug part 211, and the second inner wall 3012 is in contact with the second surface of the plug part 211.

[0065] In the above embodiment, the first inner wall 3011 and the second inner wall 3012 of the insertion groove 301 extend perpendicularly, forming an L-shaped limiting structure. When the insertion part 211 is inserted, the first surface and the second surface of the insertion part 211 fit against the first inner wall 3011 and the second inner wall 3012 respectively, achieving bidirectional geometric limiting. Simultaneously, positioning in both the X and Y directions is achieved. This significantly improves the torsional strength between the outer water-cutting 200 and the outer decorative part 220, suppressing loosening or deformation caused by vibration or impact. By limiting stress in both directions, local stress concentration is avoided, extending the lifespan of the insertion part 211.

[0066] To further enhance sealing performance, in one possible embodiment, the trim piece 220 is provided with a lip 230, the surface of which, away from the trim piece 220, is in contact with the outer trim panel 100. The lip 230 and the outer trim panel 100 are tightly fitted together, forming a stable sealing interface. This reduces sealing gaps caused by loose connections, effectively preventing dust and water intrusion, while also suppressing noise leakage and improving vehicle NVH performance.

[0067] In one possible implementation, the mounting member 210 is provided with a snap-fit ​​connector 215 located on the side of the mounting member 210 away from the outer trim panel 100.

[0068] The inner side of the decorative part 220 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 2201, and the snap-fit ​​connector 215 passes through the snap-fit ​​groove 2201.

[0069] Mounting component 210 is provided with a snap-fit ​​connector 215, and the inner side of decorative component 220 is provided with a corresponding snap-fit ​​groove 2201. The snap-fit ​​connector 215 is inserted into the snap-fit ​​groove 2201 to form a mechanical engagement. This achieves the fixation of decorative component 220 and mounting component 210, significantly suppressing the risk of vibration-induced loosening.

[0070] Furthermore, the detachable design of the snap-fit ​​connector 215 and the snap-fit ​​groove 2201 allows the decorative part 220 to be disassembled and replaced independently without disassembling the mounting part 210 or the outer decorative panel 100. In case of partial damage, only the decorative part 220 needs to be replaced, reducing maintenance costs. The ease of disassembly and assembly of the snap-fit ​​structure meets the needs of rapid maintenance and improves after-sales efficiency.

[0071] In one possible implementation, continue to refer to Figure 2 As shown, the decorative part 220 is provided with a snap-fit ​​part 240, the first part of which is located inside the decorative part 220 and the second part of which is located outside the decorative part 220.

[0072] The snap-fit ​​member 240 has a mounting groove 2401, and the end of the decorative member 220 is inserted into the mounting groove 2401.

[0073] The first part of the snap-fit ​​component 240 forms a snap-fit ​​groove 2201, and the first part of the snap-fit ​​component 240 engages with the snap-fit ​​connector 215 through the snap-fit ​​groove 2201.

[0074] Here, the end of the decorative piece 220 is inserted into the mounting groove 2401 of the second part of the snap-fit ​​piece 240 to achieve end positioning; the snap-fit ​​groove 2201 of the first part of the snap-fit ​​piece 240 cooperates with the snap-fit ​​connector 215 to ensure the overall position of the decorative piece 220 is accurate. The snap-fit ​​piece 240 can provide a mounting fulcrum for the decorative piece 220, enabling the decorative piece 220 to maintain a certain appearance strength and improve appearance consistency.

[0075] In addition, barbs or anti-slip textures can be added to the snap-fit ​​groove 2201 to prevent the snap-fit ​​connector 215 from coming off under extreme operating conditions, further enhancing connection stability.

[0076] In one possible implementation, in order to further improve the stability of the decorative element 220, the mounting element 210 is provided with at least one support portion 216, the end of the support portion 216 away from the mounting element 210 being used to abut against the inner surface of the decorative element 220.

[0077] Here, the support portion 216 extends from the mounting part 210 to the inner surface of the trim piece 220, forming a multi-point mechanical support. As a rigid fulcrum, the support portion 216 maintains the shape of the trim piece 220, preventing deformation or fatigue fracture caused by localized stress concentration. The support portion 216 suppresses displacement of the trim piece 220, ensuring a tight fit between the lip 230 and the outer trim panel 100, effectively blocking noise, dust, and water intrusion. The rigid support reduces the vibration amplitude of the trim piece 220, and combined with the elastic material of the lip 230, significantly improves the vehicle's NVH performance. Furthermore, the support portion 216, as a physical limiting structure, provides a clear positional reference for the trim piece 220 during assembly.

[0078] In one possible implementation, this application also provides a vehicle, including a vehicle body and at least one of the aforementioned window frame structures, the window frame structure being disposed on the vehicle body. The window frame structure has been described in detail above and will not be repeated here. This vehicle possesses the technical advantages of the aforementioned window frame structure, namely, it can improve the stability and precision of the fit between the outer waterstop 200 and the outer decorative panel 100, and improve the sealing performance of the vehicle door.

[0079] In this application embodiment, the vehicle can be a gasoline-powered vehicle, a natural gas-powered vehicle, or a new energy vehicle, and the new energy vehicle can be a pure electric vehicle, a hybrid electric vehicle, or a range-extended vehicle, etc. This application embodiment does not limit the specific structure of the vehicle.

[0080] The implementation principle of a window frame structure and vehicle according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: The window frame structure includes an outer decorative panel 100 and an outer waterstop 200. The outer decorative panel 100 is provided with a connector 300, which extends outward toward the outer side of the outer decorative panel 100. The outer waterstop 200 includes a mounting member 210 and a decorative member 220. The mounting member 210 is connected to the connector 300. The decorative member 220 covers the outer side of the mounting member 210 and can be installed on the outer decorative panel 100 through the mounting member 210. By providing a connector 300 extending outward toward the outer decorative panel 100, the connector 300 is directly mechanically connected to the mounting member 210 of the outer waterstop 200, replacing the traditional manual pressing method of smoothing and positioning. This rigid connection can significantly enhance the fixing strength between the outer decorative panel 100 and the outer waterstop 200, reducing loosening or displacement caused by vibration or long-term use. This design avoids sealing structure failures caused by human error or material fatigue, thus improving the durability of the door's sealing performance. Furthermore, the connector 300 and mounting component 210 achieve precise alignment, eliminating the need for manual adjustment. This reduces assembly errors and ensures stable relative positions between the outer waterstop 200 and the outer trim panel 100, thereby improving sealing uniformity, reducing the risk of sound and dust leakage, maintaining vehicle appearance consistency, and minimizing visual defects caused by deformation of the outer waterstop 200 structure.
