Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a passenger vehicle air duct side window profile structure and decorative strip. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, when installing air ducts on buses, the sides of the duct need to be fixed to the bus frame. After the sides are fixed, curtain frames for attaching curtains also need to be installed on the sides of the duct. Additionally, decorative strips need to be installed in the blank area between the side of the air duct and the side window glass to prevent the frame from being exposed.

[0003] The general operating procedure is as follows: 1. First, align the side of the air duct with the side frame of the vehicle body; 2. Drill holes on the side of the air duct; 3. Tap the holes that have been drilled through; 4. Use tools to fix the side of the air duct to the vehicle frame by passing bolts through the holes; 5. Align the curtain profile with the side of the luggage rack; 6. Use tools to drill holes in the curtain profile; 7. Use tools to fix the curtain profile to the side of the air duct by screwing it through the holes; 8. Place decorative strips on the sides of the air duct and in the blank areas of the side window glass. Drill holes in the decorative strips and use tools to fix the decorative strips to the vehicle frame with screws through the holes. The above process requires drilling three times, tapping once, fixing with bolts once, and fixing with screws twice. All of these steps are performed at a high position, which not only increases the difficulty of the process but also reduces installation efficiency. During installation, it is also necessary to improve the accuracy of tapping and drilling as much as possible to avoid problems such as tap or drill bit breakage. This makes it inconvenient for operation and batch installation. Furthermore, the external decorative strip does not match the air duct in an aesthetically pleasing way, affecting the passenger's perception and riding experience.

[0004] Therefore, a passenger car air duct side window profile structure and decorative strip are proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a passenger vehicle air duct side window profile structure and decorative strip to solve the problems of inconvenient installation and low efficiency of passenger vehicle air ducts mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a passenger vehicle air duct side window profile structure, including a profile body, the profile body being bent, and having a first inner groove at its front end for installing a decorative strip. A second inner groove for hooking curtain hooks is provided on the side of the first inner groove. The profile body has a third inner groove on its side wall opposite to the first inner groove. A fixing bolt is provided at the third inner groove so that the profile body is connected to the air duct through the fixing bolt.

[0007] Preferably, the inner walls on both sides of the first inner groove are provided with two sets of protruding clips so that the decorative strip can be connected to the first inner groove through the clips.

[0008] Preferably, multiple sets of oval holes are provided on the top wall of the first inner groove. The oval holes are adapted to the positions of nuts pre-embedded in the side windows of the bus, so as to achieve the fixed installation of the profile body through the cooperation of bolts and nuts.

[0009] Preferably, the opening size of the first inner groove is 23.2 mm, so that bolts, flat washers and installation tools can pass through the opening to fix the profile body to the side window of the bus air duct.

[0010] Preferably, the opening size of the second inner groove is 7mm to 9mm to accommodate the hook of the curtain hook.

[0011] Preferably, the profile body is provided with a sliding groove on the side of the third inner groove, and the sliding groove fits into the air duct so that the profile body is connected to the air duct through the sliding groove.

[0012] A decorative strip for connecting with the side window profile structure of a bus air duct includes a decorative strip body, the decorative strip body being strip-shaped, and two sets of retaining strips being provided on the upper part of the decorative strip body, the two sets of retaining strips cooperating with the retaining feet of the first inner groove of the profile body.

[0013] Preferably, a soft edge is provided on the left side of the decorative strip body to cover the gap between the decorative strip and the side window glass during installation. The right side with the retaining clip is made of rigid PVC, while the left soft edge is made of flexible PVC. This design maintains sufficient strength and toughness to allow the decorative strip's retaining clips to engage with the profile, while the deformation of the soft edge can compensate for manufacturing errors after the side window glass is installed, effectively covering the gap.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: This utility model provides a first inner groove, a second inner groove, and a third inner groove on the profile body, which are used for installing decorative strips, hooking curtain hooks, and connecting air ducts, respectively. This avoids the complicated steps of drilling and tapping multiple times in the traditional installation process, significantly simplifies the installation process, and improves installation efficiency.

[0015] The bent design and grooved design of the profile body make the connection between the profile and the air duct more convenient, reduce the difficulty of high-level operation, and reduce the safety risks during the installation process.

[0016] The decorative strip is fitted with the first inner groove of the profile body by the clip, which makes it tight and does not require additional drilling. This avoids the problem of the external decorative strip not matching the air duct in a good way and improves the overall decoration effect of the car interior.

[0017] The oval hole design is compatible with the pre-embedded nut position at the side window of the bus. The profile body is fixedly installed by the cooperation of bolts and nuts, which reduces the difficulty of operation, improves the installation efficiency, and enhances the stability and reliability of the structure.

[0018] The opening size of the second inner groove is designed to be 7mm~9mm, which can accommodate curtain hooks of different sizes. Curtain hooks can be pre-installed at a low position, further improving installation efficiency and increasing the product's versatility and flexibility.

[0019] The left side of the trim strip has a soft edge, which can effectively cover the gaps created by the installation with the side window glass, further enhancing the aesthetics and overall appearance of the interior.

[0020] The decorative strip body is divided into an upper rigid PVC material and a lower flexible PVC material, combining the strength of the rigid material and the flexibility of the flexible material. This ensures the structural strength of the decorative strip while also accommodating installation errors of the side window glass and providing a good sealing effect. Attached Figure Description
