[0029] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary. The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below.

[0030] The following is for reference. Figures 1-6 The present invention describes a double-door sealing structure according to an embodiment of the present invention, and also proposes a vehicle including the above-described double-door sealing structure.

[0031] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the double-door sealing structure includes: a vehicle body, a front door assembly 11 and a rear door assembly 12. The front door assembly 11 and the rear door assembly 12 are connected to the vehicle body, and the opening or closing directions of the front door assembly 11 and the rear door assembly 12, which are located on the same side of the vehicle in the width direction, are opposite.

[0032] The vehicle body includes a side panel 13, and A-pillars, B-pillars, and C-pillars arranged sequentially in the front-rear direction. Specifically, the vehicle body includes: a B-pillar located between the A-pillar and the C-pillar; the side panel 13 covering the outer side of the B-pillar; the front side of the front door assembly 11 rotatably connected to the A-pillar; the front door assembly 11 rotating around the A-pillar to open or close the front door 112; and the rear side of the rear door assembly 12 rotatably connected to the C-pillar, that is, the rear door assembly 12 rotating around the C-pillar to open or close the rear door 122.

[0033] The front door assembly 11 and the rear door assembly 12 of this utility model can be unordered double doors. The front door assembly 11 can be opened first, or the rear door assembly 12 can be opened first. The opening of the front door assembly 11 and the rear door assembly 12 does not affect each other.

[0034] There is no side B-pillar trim between the front door assembly 11 and the rear door assembly 12, reducing the number of vehicle parts and weight, thus achieving vehicle lightweighting. When the front door assembly 11 and the rear door assembly 12 are closed, the gap between the rear side of the front door assembly 11 and the front side of the rear door assembly 12 can be between 3.5mm and 5mm, ensuring the aesthetics of the front door assembly 11 and the rear door assembly 12 when closed. The absence of a side B-pillar trim between the front door assembly 11 and the rear door assembly 12 avoids any surface difference between them on the side.

[0035] Furthermore, the gap between the rear side of the front door assembly 11 and the front side of the rear door assembly 12 can be 4 mm or 4.5 mm.

[0036] Among them, the sealing element 20 can be a sealing bubble tube, and the support part 23 can be a solid adhesive.

[0037] The door sealing mechanism further includes a seal 20, which is disposed on the outer side panel 13 and extends along the height direction. The rear side of the front door assembly 11 interferes with one side of the seal 20, and the front side of the rear door assembly 12 interferes with the other side of the seal 20. Specifically, the seal 20 is connected to the outer side panel 13 and is correspondingly disposed with the B-pillar. The seal 20 can be connected to the outer side panel 13 by snap-fit ​​and / or adhesive bonding. There is a gap between the rear side of the front door assembly 11 and the front side of the rear door assembly 12. The seal 20 is disposed opposite to this gap so that when the front door assembly 11 and the rear door assembly 12 are closed, the seal 20 interferes with the rear side of the front door assembly 11 and the front side of the rear door assembly 12.

[0038] The parts of the seal 20 that interfere with the rear side of the front door assembly 11 and the front side of the rear door assembly 12 are deformable areas. When compressed, they deform and form an interference fit with either the front door assembly 11 or the rear door assembly 12 to ensure a tight seal. When the front door assembly 11 is closed, the front side of the seal 20 deforms under pressure, and the seal 20 forms an interference fit with the front door assembly 11 to ensure the vehicle's tightness. When the rear door assembly 12 is closed, the rear side of the seal 20 deforms under pressure, and the rear side of the seal 20 forms an interference fit with the rear door assembly 12 to ensure the vehicle's tightness.

[0039] In the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, that is, in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, the front side of the seal 20 interferes with the rear side of the front door assembly 11, and the rear side of the seal 20 interferes with the front side of the rear door assembly 12, so as to ensure the sealing of the front door assembly 11 and the rear door assembly 12.

[0040] Therefore, by eliminating the B-pillar side panel, and by installing a sealant 20 on the outer side panel 13, the sealing performance of the front door assembly 11 and the rear door assembly 12 is ensured, the surface difference between the front door assembly 11 and the rear door assembly 12 is reduced, and the aesthetic appearance of the vehicle body is improved. Eliminating the B-pillar side panel reduces the number and width of the panels in terms of appearance, and also lowers the overall vehicle assembly difficulty and accelerates the vehicle's production line speed. Not only is the appearance simplified, but the number of DTS (Distributed Tactical Systems) that need to be controlled in the entire vehicle is also reduced, lowering manufacturing difficulty.

[0041] Combination Figure 1 , Figures 3-6 As shown, the seal 20 includes a first sealing part 21 and a second sealing part 22, which are connected to each other. The first sealing part 21 and the second sealing part 22 are respectively interference-fitted with the front door assembly 11 and the rear door assembly 12. Specifically, the first sealing part 21 is located on the front side of the seal 20 and faces outwards from the vehicle. The first sealing part 21 selectively interferes with the rear side of the front door assembly 11. When the front door assembly 11 is open, the first sealing part 21 is in a free state. When the front door assembly 11 is closed, the first sealing part 21 is deformed by pressure. That is, the first sealing part 21 is interference-fitted with the rear side of the front door assembly 11 to ensure the sealing between the front door assembly 11 and the vehicle body.

[0042] The second sealing part 22 is located on the rear side of the seal 20 and is disposed facing the outside of the vehicle. The second sealing part 22 selectively interferes with the front side of the rear door assembly 12. When the rear door assembly 12 is opened, the second sealing part 22 is in a free state. When the rear door assembly 12 is closed, the second sealing part 22 is deformed by pressure. That is, the second sealing part 22 is interference-fitted with the front side of the rear door assembly 12 to ensure the sealing between the rear door assembly 12 and the vehicle body.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 The dashed lines represent the structure of the first sealing part 21 and the second sealing part 22 under pressure.

[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the seal 20 includes a support portion 23, which is connected to a first sealing portion 21 and a second sealing portion 22. A first cavity 27 is formed between the support portion 23 and the first sealing portion 21, and a second cavity 28 is formed between the support portion 23 and the second sealing portion 22. Specifically, the first cavity 27 formed by the support portion 23 and the first sealing portion 21 provides space for the first sealing portion 21 to deform under pressure when it interferes with the rear side of the front door assembly 11; the second cavity 28 formed between the support portion 23 and the second sealing portion 22 provides space for the second sealing portion 22 to deform under pressure when it interferes with the front side of the rear door assembly 12.

[0045] like Figure 4 As shown, the support portion 23 includes a first segment 231, a second segment 232, and a third segment 233. The second segment 232 and the third segment 233 are connected. The first segment 231 is perpendicular to the second segment 232 and the third segment 233. The first segment 231, the second segment 232, and the first sealing portion 21 form a first cavity 27. The third segment 233, the first segment 231, and the second sealing portion 22 form a second cavity 28. The support portion 23 forms a stable support structure and supports the first sealing portion 21 and the second sealing portion 22, ensuring the posture of the seal 20 after the door is closed, thus ensuring the sealing effect between the seal 20 and the front door assembly 11 and the rear door assembly 12. On the other hand, the seal 20 may age and deform after prolonged use, and the support portion 23 can provide support for the first sealing portion 21 and the second sealing portion 22 to extend the service life of the seal 20.

[0046] like Figure 1 , Figures 3-6 As shown, a first sealing lip 24 is provided at one end of the first sealing part 21. The first sealing lip 24 extends toward the outer side panel 13 and interferes with the outer side panel 13. When the door is closed, the first sealing lip 24 interferes with the outer side panel 13. The first sealing lip 24 can ensure that there is no gap between the sealing element 20 and the outer side panel 13 when the door is open, avoiding exposure of the connection between the sealing element 20 and the outer side panel 13, thus improving aesthetics. In addition, the first sealing lip 24 can prevent water from entering between the sealing element 20 and the outer side panel 13, ensuring the sealing performance between the front side of the sealing element 20 and the outer side panel 13.

[0047] Furthermore, a second sealing lip 25 is provided at one end of the second sealing part 22. The second sealing lip 25 extends toward the outer side panel 13 and interferes with the outer side panel 13. When the door is closed, the second sealing lip 25 interferes with the outer side panel 13. The second sealing lip 25 can ensure that there is no gap between the sealing element 20 and the outer side panel 13 when the door is open, avoiding exposure of the connection between the sealing element 20 and the outer side panel 13, thus improving aesthetics. In addition, the second sealing lip 25 can prevent water from entering between the sealing element 20 and the outer side panel 13, ensuring the sealing performance between the rear side of the sealing element 20 and the outer side panel 13.

[0048] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, an adhesive 31 is provided between the seal 20 and the side panel 13. In order to better fix the seal 20, the seal 20 and the side panel 13 can be connected by the adhesive 31. The adhesive 31 is provided on the side of the seal 20 facing the side panel 13 so as to install the seal 20 on the side panel 13 and ensure the sealing effect between the seal 20 and the front door assembly 11 and the rear door assembly 12.

[0049] Additionally, the adhesive 31 may include a first adhesive 31 and a second adhesive 31. The first adhesive 31 is located on the front side of the seal 20 facing the side outer panel 13, and the second adhesive is located on the rear side of the seal 20 facing the side outer panel 13. The first adhesive 31 fixes the front and rear sides of the seal 20 respectively, so that the posture of the seal 20 can be guaranteed after the door is closed, thereby ensuring the sealing effect between the seal 20 and the front door assembly 11 and the rear door assembly 12.

[0050] according to Figure 1 , Figures 3-6 As shown, the sealing element 20 has a first snap-fit ​​portion 26 on the side facing the outer side panel 13, and a second snap-fit ​​portion on the outer side panel 13. The first snap-fit ​​portion 26 and the second snap-fit ​​portion snap together. Specifically, the sealing element 20 has a first snap-fit ​​portion 26, which snaps together with the second snap-fit ​​portion on the outer side panel 13 to achieve the installation and fixation of the sealing element 20. The first snap-fit ​​portion 26 can also position the sealing element 20, positioning its X-axis (front-back direction) and Y-axis (left-right direction) positions, thus maintaining the stability of the sealing element 20's posture.

[0051] The first snap-fit ​​part 26 is a snap-fit, and the second snap-fit ​​part is a snap-fit ​​hole. The snap-fit ​​and the snap-fit ​​hole snap together. Specifically, by opening a snap-fit ​​hole on the outer side panel 13 and providing a snap-fit ​​on the sealing member 20, the snap-fit ​​and the snap-fit ​​hole snap together, so that the sealing member 20 is snapped and connected to the outer side panel 13, and the sealing member 20 is installed on the outer side panel 13.

[0052] In some embodiments, there may be multiple buckles and multiple snap-fit ​​holes. Multiple buckles are spaced apart along the length of the seal 20, and multiple buckles engage with multiple snap-fit ​​holes respectively to ensure the connection strength between the seal 20 and the side panel 13 and to improve the installation accuracy of the seal 20.

[0053] In some embodiments, the buckle is provided with a retaining edge and a limiting part, and the side outer plate 13 is located between the retaining edge and the limiting part. The retaining edge can seal the sealing element 20 to prevent water, sand, dust, etc. from entering and contaminating the sheet metal through the snap-fit ​​hole on the side outer plate 13.

[0054] Furthermore, the gap between two adjacent snaps can be between 100-150 mm to ensure the connection strength between the seal 20 and the side panel 13.

[0055] In some embodiments, a wear-resistant coating is provided on the side of the seal 20 facing away from the side panel 13. Specifically, since the front door assembly 11 and the rear door assembly 12 need to be opened and closed frequently, the surface of the seal 20 needs to be in frequent contact and friction with the front door assembly 11 and the rear door assembly 12; on the other hand, the position directly opposite the gap between the seal 20 and the front door assembly 11 and the rear door assembly 12 is exposed to the outside and needs to be exposed to wind and rain erosion. Therefore, a wear-resistant coating is provided on the side of the seal 20 facing the outside of the vehicle to extend the service life of the seal 20.

[0056] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the front door assembly 11 includes a front door B-pillar trim panel 111 and a front door 112. The front door 112 is connected to the front door B-pillar trim panel 111, and the front door B-pillar trim panel 111 has an interference fit with one side of the seal 20. That is, for the aesthetics and structural design of the door, the front door B-pillar trim panel 111 is provided on the rear side of the front door 112, and the front door B-pillar trim panel 111 can have an interference fit with the first sealing part 21. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when the front door assembly 11 is closed, the first sealing part 21 is deformed by pressure, and the front door B-pillar trim panel 111 interferes with the first sealing part 21.

[0057] Furthermore, the rear door assembly 12 includes a rear door B-pillar trim panel 121 and a rear door 122, with the rear door B-pillar trim panel 121 interfering with the other side of the seal 20. Specifically, for the aesthetics and structural design of the door, the rear door B-pillar trim panel 121 is located on the front side of the rear door 122. For example... Figure 3 As shown, when the rear door assembly 12 is closed, the second sealing part 22 is deformed by pressure, and the rear door B-pillar trim panel 121 interferes with the second sealing part 22.

[0058] According to a second aspect embodiment of the present invention, a vehicle includes a double-door sealing structure. The front door 112 and rear door 122 of the vehicle adopt a double-door layout. The front side of the front door 112 is rotatably connected to the A-pillar, which can be a hinged connection; the rear side of the rear door 122 is rotatably connected to the C-pillar, also using a hinged connection. Both the front door 112 and the rear door 122 can be opened independently without being restricted by the closed / open state of the other door; that is, the front door 112 and the rear door 122 can be opened and closed in a disordered manner. The B-pillar side panel is eliminated, and a sealing element 20 is provided on the outer side panel 13 to ensure the sealing of the front door assembly 11 and the rear door assembly 12, reducing the surface difference between the front door assembly 11 and the rear door assembly 12, and improving the aesthetic appearance of the vehicle body.
