Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts technology, and more specifically, to a windshield trim assembly. Background Technology

[0002] The content in this section only provides background information related to this utility model and may not constitute prior art.

[0003] With the continuous development of society and economy, consumers are increasingly demanding higher requirements for vehicle sealing performance. In particular, during the rainy season, preventing rainwater leakage, reducing wind noise, and improving the quietness of the vehicle interior have become key concerns. Among these, waterproof and windproof decorative strips can effectively improve the above problems, thereby enhancing driving comfort and safety.

[0004] Windshield trim strips are located on both sides of the car's windshield. Their main function is to seal the gap between the glass and the car body sheet metal, preventing rainwater from seeping in and cold air from entering the car. Traditionally, windshield trim strips require the application of sealant and waiting for the sealant to dry completely before installation.

[0005] However, the aforementioned technologies have the following drawbacks. Since the sealing adhesive needs to be completely dry before the windshield trim strip can be installed, the installation cycle for the OEM is relatively long. In addition, as an injection-molded part, the windshield trim strip is subject to injection stress deformation, which makes it difficult for the deformed trim strip to effectively adhere to the sealing adhesive, resulting in gaps and increased wind noise. Furthermore, the sealing adhesive is prone to cracking and seepage under external rainwater penetration and sun exposure, leading to rain leakage and wind intrusion. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a windshield trim assembly that can improve the sealing effect of the windshield trim.

[0007] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0008] A windshield trim assembly includes a first injection-molded strip and a second injection-molded strip. A connector is fixedly disposed on the first injection-molded strip.

The strip groove 4 is opened along the length direction of the second injection-molded strip 2. One end of the strip groove 4 is open. Multiple connectors 3 are disposed along the length direction of the first injection-molded strip 1.

[0029] Among them, reference Figure 4 A first baffle 11 is fixedly installed above the first injection molding strip 1, and the first baffle 11 is arranged along the length direction of the first injection molding strip 1. A second baffle 21 is fixedly installed above the second injection molding strip 2, and the second baffle 21 is arranged along the length direction of the second injection molding strip 2. A receiving groove 5 is formed between the first baffle 11 and the second baffle 21, and the receiving groove 5 is used to receive the sealing glue.

[0030] As one embodiment of this utility model, refer to Figure 4 A protective strip 12 is fixedly provided on the top of the first stop bar 11. The protective strip 12 is arranged along the length direction of the first stop bar 11, and the end of the protective strip 12 away from the first stop bar 11 is inclined towards the direction close to the receiving groove 5.

[0031] The protective strip 12 can provide a certain degree of shielding and protection for the inside of the receiving groove 5, and at the same time can further reduce the expansion and cracking of the sealing adhesive, thereby improving the sealing effect of the device itself.
