Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of tailgate decoration technology, and more specifically, relates to a tailgate side component and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] The rear windshield has a light-transmitting area and a black-edged light-blocking area surrounding it. While the vehicle is in motion, the driver needs to observe the rear of the vehicle through the light-transmitting area on the rear windshield. The black-edged light-blocking area is used to cover the vehicle's internal sheet metal and interior structure to enhance its aesthetics.

[0003] In the prior art, the tailgate assembly structure includes an inner tailgate panel and an outer tailgate panel. The sheet metal edging structure of the inner and outer tailgate panels is also provided with interior trim panels for decoration. Furthermore, the overall cross-sectional area of ​​the sheet metal and interior trim structure of the inner and outer panels is large, and the required black edge light-blocking area is also large, which affects the driver's rear visibility. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a tailgate side component and vehicle, which aims to solve the technical problem that the existing tailgate sheet metal assembly has a large black edge light-blocking area in the structure that ensures aesthetics, thus affecting the driver's rear visibility.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows: In a first aspect, a rear tailgate side assembly is provided, comprising: An exterior trim panel is arranged around the mounting opening of the rear tailgate; the rear end of the exterior trim panel along the vehicle direction has an extension that bends inward toward the passenger compartment. Interior panel, covering the interior wall of the vehicle; one end of the interior panel extends rearward to the bent end face of the extension; a water channel sheet is obscured between the interior panel and the exterior panel; and a through gap is formed between the rear end of the interior panel and the extension, the gap being suitable for the edge of the water channel sheet to extend rearward. A first seal is clamped to the protruding end of the sheet metal of the water channel and is circumferentially disposed at the mounting opening; the first seal is sealingly connected to the extension and the interior panel; an angled space is formed between the first seal and the extension; and A window frame is arranged in a ring within the included angle space; the rear side panel of the window frame along the front-rear direction of the vehicle is fixedly connected to the rear windshield, and the front side panel abuts against the first sealing element; one side of the window frame is sealed to the exterior trim panel. The black light-blocking area on the rear windshield extends inward from the exterior trim panel to the position where it covers the interior trim panel, and the window frame extends from the exterior trim panel toward the interior trim panel, but does not exceed the interior trim panel.

[0006] Compared with the prior art, the solution shown in this application replaces the traditional inner and outer panel structure of the rear door with a window frame, and the inner side panel of the window frame faces the inside of the vehicle compartment. This eliminates the need for the interior trim structure that covers the inner and outer panel structure, meaning there is no need to extend the interior trim panel to the inner and outer panel structure to form an interior trim structure that covers the inner and outer panel structure. Therefore, the space occupied by the inner and outer panel edging structure and the interior trim structure is saved. At this time, the black light-blocking area that needs to be set is replaced by the area where the traditional inner and outer panel and interior trim structure are located in the window frame area. Since the inner side panel of the window frame is placed outside the interior trim panel in the direction of the vehicle compartment, the cross-sectional size of the window frame is smaller. Therefore, the black light-blocking area that needs to be set is also smaller, thereby relatively increasing the light transmission area of ​​the rear windshield.

[0007] Specifically, when the tailgate is closed, internally: the inner side panel of the window frame and the interior trim panel cover the water channel sheet metal; externally: the exterior trim panel covers the water channel sheet metal. When the tailgate is open, internally: the extension of the exterior trim panel, the first seal, and the interior trim panel cover the water channel sheet metal; externally: the exterior trim panel covers the water channel sheet metal. This ensures that the internal water channel sheet metal is covered in both the open and closed states of the tailgate, maintaining aesthetics.

[0008] Therefore, the tailgate side component provided in this application can effectively reduce the area of ​​the black light-blocking area while ensuring the decorative and aesthetic effect of the tailgate, thereby relatively increasing the area of ​​the light-transmitting area, ensuring the driver's rear visibility and improving driving safety.

[0009] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, a second sealing element is provided between the outer side panel of the window frame along the direction inward and outward of the vehicle compartment and the outer trim panel. The second sealing element is snapped onto the outer side panel of the window frame and abuts against the outer trim panel.

[0010] This application includes a second seal and a first seal, which can achieve two-stage sealing to improve the sealing effect. Specifically, the second seal can achieve a sealed connection between the window frame and the exterior trim panel, preventing wind and rain from entering the passenger compartment through the gap between the window frame and the exterior trim panel. The first seal can achieve a sealed connection between the window frame and the water channel sheet metal, preventing water from the water channel sheet metal from entering the passenger compartment.

[0011] In some embodiments, the second seal includes a first lip and a second lip; the first lip extends from the second seal toward the exterior panel and abuts against the exterior panel; the second lip is spaced apart from the first lip on the front side in the vehicle's longitudinal direction; the second lip extends outward to near the exterior panel; wherein both the second lip and the first lip have an angle of inclination extending toward the rear of the vehicle.

[0012] The first lip is used to achieve a sealed connection between the window frame and the outer panel; in this application, by setting a second lip on the front side of the first lip, a double-layer protection can be formed with the first lip, which improves the protection effect and prevents rainwater from seeping in.

[0013] The second lip and the first lip extend backward toward the outside of the vehicle compartment. On the one hand, this ensures that when the tailgate is closed, the first lip can smoothly abut against the exterior trim panel without bending. On the other hand, when rain comes, the first lip can effectively resist external pressure and prevent deformation, thus enhancing the sealing performance.

[0014] In some embodiments, the second seal is further provided with a rearwardly extending third lip, the extended end of which abuts against the rear windshield.

[0015] By setting a third lip that extends backward, on the one hand, the adhesive at the bonding point between the window frame and the rear windshield can be covered, improving the aesthetics; on the other hand, it can also prevent rainwater from seeping into the bonding point and affecting the reliability of the adhesive fixation.

[0016] For example, the outer side panel of the window frame is provided with a plurality of slots spaced apart along the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and the second sealing member is provided with a plurality of blocks corresponding to the slots one by one, the blocks being engaged in the corresponding slots.

[0017] By setting a slot and a block structure, the outer side panel of the window frame and the second seal can be effectively engaged. By setting multiple slots at intervals in the front and rear directions of the vehicle, multiple engagement points can be connected to ensure the connection strength between the window frame and the second seal and prevent the second seal from coming off.

[0018] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the rear side panel of the window frame is provided with a protruding structure protruding toward the rear windshield, the protruding structure being located inside the bonding point between the window frame and the rear windshield.

[0019] The raised structure effectively prevents the silicone sealant at the bonding point from overflowing into the passenger compartment. By setting the raised structure on the rear panel of the window frame and placing it inside the adhesive, the raised structure effectively covers the adhesive at the bonding point, increasing the aesthetics of the connection between the window frame and the rear windshield.

[0020] In some embodiments, the first seal includes: A clamping part is clamped at the protruding end of the sheet metal of the water channel; a sealing bubble is provided on the side of the clamping part facing the window frame, and the sealing bubble is used to press against the window frame; The fourth lip is located on the inner side of the clamping part and abuts against the rear end of the interior panel; The fifth lip is located on the outside of the clamping part and abuts against the sheet metal of the water channel.

[0021] The clamping part is used to fix the first sealing element and at the same time to seal the sheet metal protrusion end of the water channel.

[0022] The fourth lip allows it to work together with the inner side of the interior trim panel and the inner side of the window frame to form a decorative surface facing the inside of the cabin, effectively concealing the water channel sheet metal structure and ensuring the aesthetic appeal of the interior decoration.

[0023] By setting a fifth lip that extends forward at an angle and abuts against the water channel sheet metal, the water flowing through the water channel sheet metal is prevented from seeping into the vehicle interior, thus enhancing the protective effect of the first seal.

[0024] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the front end of the exterior panel is provided with a first flange that bends into the vehicle compartment, and the outer side of the first seal is also provided with a sixth lip extending toward the exterior panel, and the sixth lip is spaced apart at the rear side of the first flange.

[0025] By setting a first flange on the exterior trim panel, which works in conjunction with the sixth lip, the water channel sheet metal is effectively concealed in the front-to-rear direction of the vehicle compartment, enhancing the aesthetic effect.

[0026] For example, the clamping part is provided with a clamping groove, and the inner and outer walls of the clamping groove are respectively provided with clamping lips extending into the clamping groove; the edge of the water channel sheet metal extends into the clamping groove, and the clamping lip abuts against the edge of the water channel sheet metal.

[0027] By setting a clamping groove, the end of the water trough sheet metal is allowed to extend into the clamping groove for limiting. By setting clamping lips on the inner and outer walls of the clamping groove, the clamping lips clamp the edge of the water trough sheet metal, ensuring the connection strength and sealing performance between the first sealing element and the edge of the water trough sheet metal.

[0028] Secondly, this application provides a vehicle including the aforementioned tailgate side assembly.

[0029] This application embodiment also provides a vehicle that includes the aforementioned tailgate side assembly, thus possessing all the beneficial effects of the aforementioned tailgate side assembly. While ensuring the aesthetic effect of the tailgate decoration, it can effectively reduce the area of ​​the black light-blocking area on the rear windshield, thereby relatively increasing the area of ​​the light-transmitting area, ensuring the driver's rear visibility, and improving vehicle safety.

[0033] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects to be solved by this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0034] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "set on" another element, it can be directly on or indirectly on that other element. It should be understood that the terms "length," "width," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships, are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are used only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0035] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0036] It should be noted that the directions or positional relationships indicated by "front", "rear", "inner", "outer", "up", and "down" in this embodiment are based on the vehicle's own orientation. The front of the vehicle represents "front", the rear of the vehicle represents "rear", the top of the vehicle represents "up", the bottom of the vehicle represents "down", the "inner" side refers to the side facing the inside of the passenger compartment, and the "outer" side refers to the side facing the outside of the passenger compartment.

[0037] In addition, the front-back direction defined in the embodiments of this application refers to the front-back direction of the vehicle's forward direction during driving, the left-right direction refers to the left-right direction of the vehicle's forward direction during driving, and the up-down direction refers to the up-down direction of the vehicle's forward direction during driving.

[0038] Please see Figure 1 In traditional technology, a tailgate inner panel and outer panel 10 are often installed at the rear windshield 2 of the vehicle. It should be noted that the tailgate inner panel and outer panel 10 here usually refer to the inner panel closer to the rear windshield 2 and the outer panel farther away from the rear windshield 2. The tailgate inner panel and outer panel 10 are generally formed by stamping and connected together after edge binding. The edge binding structure between the tailgate inner and outer panels extends along the left and right direction of the vehicle, resulting in a large overall cross-sectional dimension of the inner and outer panel structure. In addition, in order to increase aesthetics and to cover the sheet metal edge binding structure of the inner and outer panels, an interior trim panel 9 is also required to cover the edge binding structure of the inner and outer panels. In the traditional setting, the interior trim panel 4 is often extended backward to form the interior trim panel 9 that covers the inner and outer panel structure.

[0039] Therefore, when setting a black light-blocking area 21 on the rear windshield 2, the black area needs to cover the inner and outer panels of the tailgate and the interior trim panel 9. As a result, the black light-blocking area 21 is large. In conventional technology, the length of the black light-blocking area 21 in the left and right directions reaches 100mm, and the relative area of ​​the light-transmitting area is reduced, which will affect the driver's rear visibility. In addition, the structure of the interior trim panel 9 not only occupies the interior space of the vehicle, but also increases the cost and weight of the tailgate assembly structure.

[0040] It should be noted that in the traditional tailgate assembly structure, only one set of seals is installed at the inner and outer panels of the tailgate. Its waterproof effect is not good, and it is prone to internal leakage when there is a lot of water, which poses a safety hazard.

[0041] Please refer to the following: Figures 2 to 3 The following describes the tailgate side assembly and vehicle provided in this application. The tailgate side assembly includes an exterior trim panel 3, an interior trim panel 4, a first seal 8, and a window frame 1; the exterior trim panel 3 is arranged around the tailgate mounting opening; the rear end of the exterior trim panel 3 along the vehicle direction has an extension 31 that bends inward toward the passenger compartment; the interior trim panel 4 covers the interior wall of the vehicle passenger compartment; one end of the interior trim panel 4 extends rearward to the bent end face of the extension 31; a water channel sheet 5 is obscured between the interior trim panel 4 and the exterior trim panel 3; and a through notch is formed between the rear end of the interior trim panel 4 and the extension 31, the notch being suitable for the edge end 51 of the water channel sheet 5 to extend rearward; the first seal 8 is clamped in the water channel sheet 5. The protruding end of 5 is encircled at the mounting opening; the first seal 8 is sealed to the extension 31 and the interior panel 4; an angled space is formed between the first seal 8 and the extension 31; the window frame 1 is encircled within the angled space; the rear side panel of the window frame 1 along the front-rear direction of the vehicle is fixedly connected to the rear windshield 2, and the front side panel abuts against the first seal 8; one side of the window frame 1 is sealed to the extension 31; wherein, the black light-blocking area 21 on the rear windshield 2 extends inward from the exterior panel 3 to the position of blocking the interior panel 4, and the window frame 1 extends from the exterior panel 3 to the interior panel 4, but does not exceed the interior panel 4.

[0042] Specifically, when the tailgate is closed, internally: the inner side panel of the window frame 1 and the interior trim panel 4 cover the water channel sheet metal 5, and externally: the exterior trim panel 3 covers the water channel sheet metal 5; when the tailgate is open, internally: the extension 31 of the exterior trim panel 3, the first seal 8 and the interior trim panel 4 cover the water channel sheet metal 5, and externally: the exterior trim panel 3 covers the water channel sheet metal 5; thus ensuring that the internal water channel sheet metal 5 can be covered in both the open and closed states of the tailgate, ensuring aesthetics.

[0043] It should be noted that the black light-blocking area 21 on the rear windshield 2 in this application is arranged in a ring around the mounting opening, and the window frame 1, the second seal 7 and the first seal 8 are also arranged in a ring.

[0044] It should be understood that the window frame 1 structure in this application replaces the inner and outer panels of the rear door in the traditional structure, and the interior trim panel 9 that covers the edge structure of the inner and outer panels of the rear door; thus simplifying the structure of the rear door assembly and increasing the structural compactness of the rear door assembly.

[0045] It should be noted that, after adopting the above-mentioned window frame 1 structure in this application, the cross-sectional size of the black light-blocking area 21 can be effectively reduced. Specifically, in the left-right direction of the vehicle, the cross-sectional size of the black area is reduced from 100mm to 30mm, which can effectively increase the area of ​​the light-transmitting area and expand the rear observation field of view.

[0046] Specifically, the rear end of the first sealing member 8 abuts against the front side panel of the window frame 1; in addition, the abutting structure of each lip in this application can be understood as forming a preset interference amount between the lip structure and the corresponding abutting member; for example, the abutting between the first sealing member 8 and the front side panel of the window frame 1 can be understood as: when the rear door is closed, there is an interference amount between the first sealing member 8 and the front side panel of the window frame 1.

[0047] Specifically, the interior panel 4 is provided with a flange that bends at a preset angle toward the first seal 8, and the first seal 8 specifically abuts against the flange structure to achieve a transition connection between the first seal 8 and the interior panel 4.

[0048] It should be understood that when the tailgate is opened, the first seal 8 remains clamped on the water channel sheet 5, and the window frame 1 is separated from the sealing bubble 82 of the first seal 8, while the first seal 8 is still connected to the interior panel 4.

[0049] Specifically, the window frame 1 is made of extruded aluminum, which is aluminum material that is extruded and formed. The outer surface is smooth and there is no need to install interior trim panels 9 to cover it. Its smooth inner side panel can maintain the aesthetics of the interior of the car.

[0050] It should be understood that the side of the window frame 1 closest to the interior of the vehicle is the inner panel, and the side closest to the exterior trim panel 3 is the outer panel. The outer panel and the inner panel are connected between the front panel and the rear panel of the window frame 1. In other words, the window frame 1 has an inner panel opposite to the other side of the window frame 1 and an outer panel opposite to the inner panel. The inner panel, the outer panel, the front panel and the rear panel surround the window frame 1.

[0051] In addition, the bonding point between the rear windshield 2 and the window frame 1 in this application refers to the location where the adhesive 22 is set in the attached drawings.

[0052] Specifically, the cross-section of the included angle space is L-shaped; the window frame 1 is arranged in the included angle space of this L-shape.

[0053] Furthermore, an installation gap 6 is left between the front side panel of the window frame 1 and the edge end 51 of the water channel sheet metal 5. The first sealing element 8 is located in the installation gap 6 to achieve a sealed connection between the window frame 1 and the edge end 51, the interior panel 4 and the exterior panel 3.

[0054] It should be noted that in this application, the extension length of the window frame 1 does not exceed that of the interior panel 4. Optionally, the window frame 1 extends and is flush with the interior panel 4; alternatively, the window frame 1 extends from the extension 31 toward the interior panel 4 and is shorter than the interior panel 4. This can be understood as the window frame 1 not extending to the interior panel 4, but being placed between the interior panel 4 and the extension 31.

[0055] Compared with the prior art, the rear door side component provided in this application replaces the traditional rear door inner and outer panel structure with a window frame 1, and the inner side panel of the window frame 1 faces the inside of the vehicle compartment. This eliminates the need for the interior trim structure covering the inner and outer panel structure, i.e., there is no need to extend the interior trim panel 4 to the inner and outer panel structure to form an interior trim structure covering the inner and outer panel structure. Therefore, the space occupied by the inner and outer panel edging structure and the interior trim structure is saved. At this time, the black light-blocking area that needs to be set is replaced by the area where the traditional inner and outer panel and interior trim structure are located in the area where the window frame 1 is located. Since the inner side panel of the window frame 1 is placed outside the interior trim panel 4 in the direction of the vehicle compartment, the cross-sectional size of the window frame 1 is smaller. Therefore, the black light-blocking area 21 that needs to be set is also smaller, thereby relatively increasing the light-transmitting area of ​​the rear windshield 2.

[0056] Furthermore, the first sealing element 8 can achieve a sealed connection between the window frame 1 and the water channel sheet 5, preventing water from flowing into the carriage from entering the water channel sheet 5.

[0057] The tailgate side component provided in this application can effectively reduce the area of ​​the black light-blocking area 21 while ensuring the decorative and aesthetic effect of the tailgate, thereby relatively increasing the area of ​​the light-transmitting area, reducing the obstruction of the driver's rear view, ensuring the driver's rear view, and improving driving safety.

[0058] Please see Figure 2 In some possible embodiments, a second sealing element 7 is provided between the outer side panel of the window frame 1 along the direction of the carriage interior and exterior and the extension 31. The second sealing element 7 is snapped onto the outer side panel of the window frame 1 and abuts against the extension 31.

[0059] It should be understood that when the tailgate is opened, the second seal 7 then extends outward along with the windshield 2, and the second seal 7 disengages from the extension 31.

[0060] This application is equipped with a second sealing element 7 and a first sealing element 8, which can achieve two-stage sealing and improve the sealing effect.

[0061] Specifically, the second seal 7 ensures a sealed connection between the window frame 1 and the extension 31, preventing wind and rain from entering the passenger compartment through the gap between the window frame 1 and the extension 31. Therefore, it effectively prevents external water from seeping in. The first seal 8 ensures a sealed connection between the window frame 1 and the drainage channel sheet 5, preventing water flowing from the drainage channel sheet 5 from entering the passenger compartment. Therefore, the second seal 7 and the first seal 8 are sequentially arranged in a two-stage waterproof structure in the front-rear direction, effectively ensuring the sealing effect at the window frame 1.

[0062] Please see Figure 2For example, the second seal 7 includes a first lip 71 and a second lip 72; the first lip 71 extends from the second seal 7 toward the extension 31 and abuts against the extension 31; the second lip 72 is spaced apart from the first lip 71 on the front side in the vehicle longitudinal direction; the second lip 72 extends outward to near the extension 31; wherein, both the second lip 72 and the first lip 71 have an inclined angle extending toward the rear of the vehicle.

[0063] The first lip 71 abuts against the extension 31, which can be understood as: interference is formed between the first lip 71 and the extension 31, so that the first lip 71 abuts against the extension 31, thereby increasing the sealing connection effect between the first lip 71 and the extension 31.

[0064] The first lip 71 is used to achieve a sealed connection between the window frame 1 and the extension 31. Specifically, the setting of the first lip 71 on the second seal 7 can achieve a sealed connection between the window frame 1 and the extension 31, preventing wind and rain from entering the carriage through the gap between the window frame 1 and the extension 31. In this application, by providing a second lip 72 on the front side of the first lip 71, a double-layer protection can be formed with the first lip 71, which improves the protection effect and prevents rainwater from seeping in.

[0065] Optionally, the extended end of the second lip 72 is close to the extension 31 but does not contact the extension 31; alternatively, the extended end of the second lip 72 is close to the extension 31 and abuts against the extension 31. It should be understood that the tilt angle of the second lip 72 can provide external protection. Since the second lip 72 is located on the front side, whether it abuts against the extension 31 to increase the sealing performance can be selected according to actual needs. The second lip 72 mainly plays the role of auxiliary protection and sealing.

[0066] Preferably, the extension length of the second lip 72 is less than the extension length of the first lip 71, and the extension end of the second lip 72 is disposed close to the extension portion 31 and does not contact the extension portion 31, so as to reduce the friction when the door is opened.

[0067] Specifically, the contact between the second lip 72 and the extension 31 can be understood as a certain amount of interference between the second lip 72 and the extension 31; the fact that the second lip 72 does not contact the extension 31 can also be understood as no amount of interference between the second lip 72 and the extension 31.

[0068] Furthermore, in this application, the second lip 72 and the first lip 71 extend backward toward the outside of the vehicle compartment. On the one hand, this ensures that when the tailgate is closed, the first lip 71 can smoothly abut against the extension 31 without bending. On the other hand, when rain comes, the first lip 71 can effectively resist external pressure and not deform, thus enhancing the sealing performance.

[0069] In addition, both the second lip 72 and the first lip 71 have an angle of inclination that extends toward the rear of the vehicle, which makes them more aesthetically pleasing and may also guide water or airflow to some extent, reducing the accumulation of rainwater or dust on the side components.

[0070] Specifically, when the tailgate is opened, the first lip 71 moves outward under the action of the window frame 1. Although there is an interference between the extension 31 and the first lip 71, this interference does not affect the opening of the tailgate. The first lip 71 will have a certain reverse friction during the opening process, but it will return to the backward tilted state after the first lip 71 is separated from the extension 31. When the tailgate is closed, the backward tilted state of the first lip 71 can facilitate the contact between the first lip 71 and the extension 31, and will not cause the first lip 71 to bend forward in the opposite direction.

[0071] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments, the second seal 7 is further provided with a rearwardly extending third lip 73, the extended end of which abuts against the rear windshield 2.

[0072] Similarly, the contact between the third lip 73 and the rear windshield 2 can also be understood as a certain amount of interference between the third lip 73 and the rear windshield 2.

[0073] It is important to understand that the third lip 73 abuts against the rear windshield 2, further enhancing the seal between the side components and the rear windshield 2. This more effectively prevents rainwater, dust, and other contaminants from entering the passenger compartment through the gap between them. Simultaneously, it provides some protection and fixation for the rear windshield 2, reducing the risk of loosening at the connection between the rear windshield 2 and the side components due to external forces or other factors.

[0074] By setting a third lip 73 that extends backward, on the one hand, the adhesive 22 at the bonding point between the window frame 1 and the rear windshield 2 can be covered, improving the aesthetics; on the other hand, it can also prevent rainwater from seeping into the bonding point and affecting the reliability of the adhesive fixation.

[0075] Specifically, the number of third lips 73 can be set according to actual needs; for example, multiple sets can be set at intervals along the left and right directions of the vehicle, and the inner third lips 73 can prevent the adhesive 22 from overflowing.

[0076] Please see Figure 3 For example, the outer side panel of the window frame 1 is provided with a plurality of slots 12 spaced apart along the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and the second seal 7 is provided with a plurality of blocks 74 corresponding one-to-one with the slots 12, and the blocks 74 are engaged in the corresponding slots 12.

[0077] By setting the slot 12 and the block 74 structure, the outer side panel of the window frame 1 and the second seal 7 can be effectively engaged; by setting multiple slots 12 at intervals in the front and rear directions of the vehicle, multiple engagement points can be connected to ensure the connection strength between the window frame 1 and the second seal 7 and prevent the second seal 7 from coming off.

[0078] It is important to understand that the secure installation of the slot 12 and the block 74 helps maintain the durability of the seal, prevents seal failure due to loosening of the sealing strip, and improves the reliability and stability of the entire side assembly.

[0079] Preferably, there are two card slots 12, and two corresponding card blocks 74, with the other card slot 12 spaced apart along the front-rear direction of the vehicle.

[0080] Specifically, the shapes of the two sets of locking blocks 74 can be selectively set according to actual needs; however, in order to ensure the connection strength between the locking block 74 and the slot 12, the size of the end face of the locking block 74 facing the bottom of the slot 12 can be slightly larger than the size of the slot 12 so that the locking block 74 is locked.

[0081] Furthermore, each slot 12 has a protrusion structure 121 protruding into the slot 12 on its slot wall, and the card block 74 has a groove structure 741 that matches the protrusion structure 121; wherein, when the card block 74 is engaged in the corresponding slot 12, the protrusion structure 121 is engaged in the corresponding groove structure 741.

[0082] Preferably, when there are two card slots 12, the protrusion structures 121 on the two card slots 12 are arranged opposite each other so that the card block 74 can be easily inserted into the corresponding card slot 12.

[0083] By setting the protrusion structure 121 and the groove structure 741, the connection strength between the second seal 7 and the outer side panel of the window frame 1 can be further enhanced; on the basis of the primary snap-fit ​​structure of the snap-fit ​​block 74 and the snap-fit ​​groove 12, a secondary snap-fit ​​structure of the protrusion structure 121 and the groove structure 741 is formed to ensure the connection strength of the second seal 7 and prevent the second seal 7 from falling out and affecting the sealing effect.

[0084] Please see Figure 2 In some possible embodiments, the rear side panel of the window frame 1 is provided with a protruding structure 11 that protrudes toward the rear windshield 2, and the protruding structure 11 is located inside the bonding point between the window frame 1 and the rear windshield 2.

[0085] By setting a protruding structure 11 on the rear side panel of the window frame 1 and placing the protruding structure 11 inside the adhesive 22, the protruding structure 11 can effectively cover the adhesive 22 at the bonding point, thereby increasing the aesthetics of the connection between the window frame 1 and the rear windshield 2.

[0086] Specifically, an adhesive surface is provided on the rear panel of the rear door window frame 1, and the aforementioned protruding structure 11 is provided on the inner side of the adhesive surface facing the interior of the vehicle compartment; preferably, a 2mm gap is left between the protruding structure 11 and the rear windshield 2 to prevent collisions between the window frame 1 and the rear windshield 2.

[0087] Meanwhile, the raised structure 11 can effectively prevent the silicone sealant at the bonding point from overflowing into the carriage, ensuring the bonding strength of the adhesive surface and enhancing the interior aesthetics.

[0088] Preferably, the protruding structure 11 is located on the inner side of the window frame 1. On the one hand, it can ensure that the area where the adhesive 22 is applied meets the requirements, thereby ensuring the connection strength between the window frame 1 and the rear windshield 2. On the other hand, it can ensure the consistency of the extension of the inner side of the window frame 1 and improve the aesthetic effect.

[0089] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments, the first sealing member 8 includes a clamping part, a fourth lip 81, and a fifth lip 83; the clamping part is clamped at the protruding end of the water channel sheet 5; a sealing bubble 82 is provided on the side of the clamping part facing the window frame 1, and the sealing bubble 82 is used to press against the window frame 1; the fourth lip 81 is provided on the inner side of the clamping part and abuts against the rear end of the interior panel 4; the fifth lip 83 is provided on the outer side of the clamping part and abuts against the water channel sheet 5.

[0090] Optionally, the fourth lip 81 can also abut against the inner side of the interior panel 4 facing the passenger compartment to enhance the sealing connection strength between the fourth lip 81 and the interior panel 4. Alternatively, the fourth lip 81 can also overlap the interior panel 4, which can be understood as the fourth lip 81 fitting against the inner side of the interior panel 4 facing the passenger compartment, so that the fourth lip 81 is tightly attached to the inner side of the interior panel 4.

[0091] The fourth lip 81 is designed so that the fourth lip 81, together with the inner side of the interior panel 4 and the inner side panel of the window frame 1, can form a decorative surface facing the inside of the car body, which can effectively cover the water channel sheet metal 5 structure and ensure the aesthetics of the interior decoration.

[0092] By setting a fifth lip 83 that extends forward at an angle and abuts against the water channel sheet 5, water in the water channel sheet 5 is prevented from seeping into the vehicle through the end of the water channel, thus enhancing the protective effect of the first seal 8.

[0093] It should be understood that the front end of the first sealing element 8 is clamped to the edge end 51 of the water channel sheet 5, which can achieve the first-level seal at the end of the water channel sheet 5. The fifth lip 83 extends forward at an angle and abuts against the water channel sheet 5, which can achieve the second-level seal of the water channel sheet 5. This design optimizes the sealing structure between the first sealing element 8 and the water channel sheet 5.

[0094] Furthermore, the fifth lip 83 in this application can better fit the shape of the water channel sheet 5, improve the waterproof and dustproof effect, and effectively prevent rainwater, condensate, dust and other substances from entering the interior of the vehicle through the gap between the water channel sheet 5 and the first seal 8.

[0095] Similarly, the contact between the fifth lip edge 83 and the water channel sheet metal 5 can also be understood as a certain amount of interference between the fifth lip edge 83 and the water channel sheet metal 5, which is used to achieve a seal between the two.

[0096] Please see Figure 2 In some possible embodiments, the front end of the extension 31 is provided with a first flange 311 that bends into the carriage, and the outer side of the first seal 8 is also provided with a sixth lip 84 that extends in the direction of the extension 31, and the sixth lip 84 is spaced at the rear side of the first flange 311.

[0097] By setting a first flange 311 on the extension 31 so that the first flange 311 and the sixth lip 84 cooperate, the water channel sheet metal 5 is effectively covered in the front and rear directions of the carriage, thereby enhancing the aesthetic effect.

[0098] It should be understood that the first flange 311 of the extension 31 and the sixth lip 84 of the first seal 8 make the side components more aesthetically pleasing and coordinated, improving the overall appearance and quality of the vehicle. Specifically, after the tailgate is opened, the sixth lip 84, along with the first seal 8, remains clamped to the edge end 51 of the water channel sheet metal 5. The first flange 311 bends towards the first seal 8, so that the first flange 311 and the sixth lip 84 work together in the front-rear direction to cover the internal sheet metal. Therefore, the arrangement of the sixth lip 84 and the first flange 311 can effectively improve the aesthetics of the side components when the door is opened.

[0099] Specifically, the sixth lip 84 can extend towards the extension 31, or it can be attached to the extension 31, or it can be directly attached to the first flange 311 of the extension 31. The sixth lip 84 and the first flange 311 work together to cover the internal sheet metal. Preferably, the sixth lip 84 extends towards the side wall of the extension 31.

[0100] Please see Figure 2 For example, the clamping part is provided with a clamping groove 85 with an opening facing forward, and the inner and outer walls of the clamping groove 85 are respectively provided with clamping lips 86 extending into the clamping groove 85; the edge end 51 of the water channel sheet 5 extends into the clamping groove 85, and the clamping lip 86 abuts against the edge of the water channel sheet 5.

[0101] It is important to understand that the clamping groove 85 and the clamping lip 86 are provided to ensure that the edge end 51 of the water channel sheet 5 can be securely installed at the front end of the first seal 8. Specifically, by providing the clamping groove 85, the end of the water channel sheet 5 is allowed to extend into the clamping groove 85 for positioning. By providing the clamping lip 86 on the inner and outer walls of the clamping groove 85, the clamping lip 86 clamps the edge of the water channel sheet 5, ensuring the connection strength and sealing performance between the first seal 8 and the edge end 51 of the water channel sheet 5.

[0102] In this application, by clamping the lip 86 against the edge of the water channel sheet 5, the sealing performance is further improved, preventing water from leaking into the vehicle compartment from the connection between the water channel sheet 5 and the first seal 8, thus enhancing the waterproof capability of the entire rear door side assembly.

[0103] Specifically, multiple clamping lips 86 are spaced apart on the wall of each clamping groove 85, and the multiple clamping lips 86 are spaced apart along the front and rear direction of the vehicle; preferably, two sets of clamping lips 86 are provided on each side to form a front and rear double-layer clamping structure.

[0104] Based on the same inventive concept, this application provides a vehicle including two sets of the above-mentioned tailgate side components, which are spaced apart on both sides of the rear windshield 2 along the left-right direction of the vehicle.

[0105] Specifically, two sets of tailgate side components are spaced apart on the left and right sides of the rear windshield 2 along the left and right direction of the vehicle. Two sets of black light-blocking areas 21 are provided on the rear windshield 2, and the two sets of black light-blocking areas 21 are arranged in a front-to-back correspondence with the two sets of tailgate side components.

[0106] This application embodiment also provides a vehicle that includes the above-mentioned tailgate side assembly, and thus has all the beneficial effects of the above-mentioned tailgate side assembly. While ensuring the decorative and aesthetic effect of the tailgate, it can effectively reduce the area of ​​the black light-blocking area 21 on the rear windshield 2, thereby relatively increasing the area of ​​the light-transmitting area, ensuring the driver's rear visibility, and improving vehicle safety.

[0107] Specifically, the overall sealing performance of the vehicle's tailgate has been improved, effectively preventing rainwater and dust from entering the cabin and protecting the interior environment; the structural layout has been optimized, reducing obstruction of the rear windshield's light-transmitting area and ensuring the driver's rear visibility; at the same time, the appearance is more aesthetically pleasing and harmonious, improving the overall quality and visual effect of the vehicle, thus optimizing and enhancing both functionality and aesthetics.
