Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts technology, specifically to a light-emitting external water cutter. Background Technology

[0002] Car doors, especially those near the windows, are usually equipped with external water cutters. These cutters not only decorate the sheet metal end face of the window frame, enhancing its aesthetics, but also clean the glass surface during operation, achieving sound insulation and vibration reduction.

[0003] Currently, existing external water-cutting structures on the market typically include one disclosed in patent CN113276647B. This structure features a built-in metal frame, a snap-fit ​​structure at the bottom, and an aluminum alloy trim strip on the outer surface. An external water-cutting lip is also present on the external water-cutting body. A first limiting structure is snapped into the door's outer window sill reinforcement plate to restrict the water-cutting lip's position in the z-direction. A second limiting structure is snapped into the water-cutting body to restrict its position in the Y-direction, and a third limiting structure is snapped into the door's outer panel to restrict its position in the X-direction. Therefore, existing external water-cutting structures typically have a built-in metal frame and a covering layer encasing the metal frame. The covering layer also features an external water-cutting lip, and a metal trim strip is present on the side of the external water-cutting body closest to the door's outer side to enhance aesthetics.

[0004] However, with the development of technology and people's increasing demands for vehicle appearance and personalization, the traditional external water-cutting structure on the market can only meet the needs of simple facade decoration, glass cleaning, and shock absorption and sound insulation. It cannot change people's visual perception and is difficult to meet people's demand for vehicle personalization. Therefore, the industry urgently needs an external water-cutting structure that can improve visual perception and personalization. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a light-emitting outer water cutter, which sets an LED flexible light source on the outer water cutter body. The light emitted by the LED flexible light source itself enables the outer water cutter to have the ability to emit light. Moreover, the self-emitting LED flexible light source can ensure the light emission effect at all parts of the outer water cutter and avoid the problem of light attenuation, thereby improving the visual perception of the side of the vehicle body and meeting the personalized design needs of the vehicle.

[0006] The specific technical solution is as follows: A luminescent external water cutter, having the following features, includes: LED flexible light source, the LED flexible light source has a predetermined length; The water-cutting body includes a skeleton and a covering layer. The covering layer covers the skeleton and has a lip. The water-cutting body is equipped with a flexible LED light source, which is arranged along the length of the water-cutting body.

[0007] In the aforementioned luminescent external water cutter, the flexible LED light source and the water cutter body are assembled together. An assembly cavity is provided on the side of the water cutter body near the outer side of the vehicle, and the assembly cavity is arranged along the length direction of the water cutter body. The flexible LED light source is snapped into the assembly cavity.

[0008] In the aforementioned luminescent external water cutter, the flexible LED light source and the water cutter body are co-extruded.

[0009] In the aforementioned luminescent external water cutter, a flexible LED light source is disposed at the bottom of the side of the water cutter body located on the outer side of the vehicle.

[0010] In the aforementioned luminescent external water cutter, a flexible LED light source is disposed on one side of the water cutter body located on the outer side of the vehicle. A light-transmitting cover is installed on the side of the water cutter body located on the outer side of the vehicle. A mounting cavity is formed between the light-transmitting cover and the opposite side of the water cutter body. The flexible LED light source is installed in the mounting cavity.

[0011] In the aforementioned luminescent external water cutter, a flexible LED light source is disposed within the covering layer and on the side of the frame near the outer side of the vehicle. The covering layer is entirely made of light-transmitting material or only the portion corresponding to the flexible LED light source is made of light-transmitting material.

[0012] In the aforementioned luminescent outer water cutter, a flexible LED light source is disposed within the covering layer and is located on the side of the frame away from the outer side of the vehicle. The covering layer is entirely made of light-transmitting material or only the portion corresponding to the flexible LED light source is made of light-transmitting material. Simultaneously, the entire frame is made of light-transmitting material or only the portion corresponding to the flexible LED light source is made of light-transmitting material.

[0013] In the aforementioned luminescent external water cutter, a flexible LED light source is disposed within the covering layer, and the flexible LED light source is disposed at the bottom of the side of the water cutter body near the outer side of the vehicle, and the light-emitting area of ​​the flexible LED light source extends to the bottom edge of the covering layer.

[0019] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives, and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the following embodiments are provided in conjunction with the appendix. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 6 The technical solution provided by this utility model is described in detail, but the following content is not intended to limit this utility model.

[0020] Figure 1 This is a cross-sectional view of an arrangement structure of a light-emitting external water-cutting assembly according to this utility model. (See figure) Figure 1 As shown, the luminous external water cutter provided in this embodiment includes: an LED flexible light source 1 and a water cutter body 2.

[0021] Specifically, the flexible LED light source 1 has a predetermined length, and its actual length can be determined according to the structural length of the outer water cutter. This allows the flexible LED light source 1 to meet the usage requirements of covering the length of the outer water cutter, ensuring the luminous effect at all points of the outer water cutter. Compared to using light guide strips to transmit light to all points of the outer water cutter, this effectively avoids light attenuation and guarantees the luminous effect at all points of the outer water cutter. In addition, the flexible LED light source 1 can also adapt to outer water cutters of different shapes through its own flexible deformation, meeting the needs of use in different vehicle models. It is worth noting that there are many types and models of flexible LED light sources 1 on the market. In this embodiment, only the appropriate type of flexible LED light source 1 needs to be selected according to the requirements, and its specific structure will not be described in detail here.

[0022] Specifically, the water-cutting body 2 includes a frame 21 and a covering layer 22. The covering layer 22 covers the frame 21, enhancing the structural strength of the water-cutting body 2 and maintaining its stability. Simultaneously, the covering layer 22 contacts the vehicle body sheet metal and other structures, improving installation reliability and achieving vibration reduction. Furthermore, the covering layer 22 has a lip 221 for structural clamping, sealing, and water-wiping cleaning. It is worth noting that since commercially available external water-cutting structures typically include a frame 21 and a covering layer 22, the specific structure of the water-cutting body 2 in this embodiment can be adapted to actual processing requirements. Therefore, the specific structures of the frame 21 and the covering layer 22 will not be described in detail here. Additionally, the water-cutting body 2 is equipped with a flexible LED light source 1, which is arranged along the length of the water-cutting body 2, ensuring that there is a corresponding flexible LED light source 1 along the entire length of the water-cutting body 2, thus guaranteeing that the entire external water-cutting body can emit light along its length. Example

[0023] The flexible LED light source 1 is assembled onto the water-cutting body 2 using an assembly-molding method. This means the flexible LED light source 1 is assembled onto the water-cutting body 2 after the body is manufactured separately, achieving assembly after separate manufacturing. An assembly cavity 222 is provided on the side of the water-cutting body 2 closest to the vehicle's outer side, and this cavity 222 is arranged along the length of the water-cutting body 2 to accommodate its length. Simultaneously, the flexible LED light source 1 is snapped into the assembly cavity 222; that is, the water-cutting body 2 uses the assembly cavity 222 to allow the flexible LED light source 1 to be snapped in and connected, thus achieving the installation of the flexible LED light source 1 on the water-cutting body 2.

[0024] Specifically, the flexible LED light source 1 is located at the bottom of the side of the water-cutting body 2 on the outer side of the vehicle. That is, the mounting cavity 222 is located at the bottom of the side of the water-cutting body 2 on the outer side of the vehicle. This allows the bottom of the water-cutting body 2 to be visible from the outside of the vehicle when the flexible LED light source 1 is emitting light, meeting the lighting requirements of the outer water-cutting body. This also allows a light-emitting band to be formed at the connection gap between the outer water-cutting body and the door sheet metal 4 when the outer water-cutting body is installed on the door sheet metal 4. Since the flexible LED light source 1 is located at the bottom of the side of the water-cutting body 2, the light strip will not obstruct the light emission of the flexible LED light source 1, regardless of whether a light strip is installed on the water-cutting body 2. Therefore, a light strip can be installed on the side of the water-cutting body 2 closest to the outer side of the vehicle. This light strip can be a metal light strip or a translucent light strip, thus achieving the lighting of the outer water-cutting body based on the traditional method.

[0025] In addition, the flexible LED light source 1 can also be installed on one side of the water-cutting body 2 located on the outer side of the vehicle. Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional view of another arrangement structure of the luminescent external water-cutting assembly of this utility model. (See figure) Figure 2 As shown, a light-transmitting cover 3 is installed on the side of the water-cutting body 2 located on the outside of the vehicle, forming a mounting cavity between the light-transmitting cover 3 and the opposite side of the water-cutting body 2. The flexible LED light source 1 is then installed in this cavity. In other words, the light-transmitting cover 3 forms a mounting cavity for the flexible LED light source 1 on the side of the water-cutting body 2 located on the outside of the vehicle, providing installation space for the flexible LED light source 1. Simultaneously, the light-transmitting cover 3 ensures that the light emitted by the flexible LED light source 1 can be smoothly diffused, allowing people to observe the light emitted by the flexible LED light source 1 in the outer water-cutting from the outside of the vehicle, ensuring that the outer water-cutting can emit light. It is worth noting that slots are provided at the top and bottom of the side of the water-cutting body 2 closest to the outside of the vehicle, and curved edges are provided at the top and bottom of the light-transmitting cover 3. When installing the light-transmitting cover 3 onto the water-cutting body 2, the two edges can be inserted into the corresponding slots. Furthermore, the light-transmitting cover 3 can be transparent, frosted, or colored. That is, the light-transmitting cover 3 can be a transparent cover, a frosted cover, or a cover with colors such as red. Example

[0026] The flexible LED light source 1 is co-extruded onto the water-cutting body 2. During the co-extrusion process of the water-cutting body 2, the flexible LED light source 1 is also simultaneously added to the co-extrusion process, achieving synchronous co-extrusion molding of the flexible LED light source 1 and the water-cutting body 2 as a whole. This results in a better connection between the two, higher overall integration, less detachment, and greater safety and reliability.

[0027] Specifically, the flexible LED light source 1 is disposed within the covering layer 22 to meet the co-extrusion molding requirements of the flexible LED light source 1 and the water-cutting body 2. Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional view of an arrangement structure of a light-emitting external water-cutting co-extrusion molding according to this utility model. Figure 3 As shown, the flexible LED light source 1 is positioned on the side of the frame 21 closer to the outer side of the vehicle, making the flexible LED light source 1 closer to the outer side of the vehicle than the frame 21, thus avoiding the frame 21 blocking the light emitted by the flexible LED light source 1. At this time, the entire covering layer 22 is made of light-transmitting material, or only the portion corresponding to the flexible LED light source 1 is made of light-transmitting material, allowing the light emitted by the flexible LED light source 1 to pass through the covering layer 22 and diffuse. This allows people to observe the light emitted by the flexible LED light source 1 inside the outer watershed from the outside of the vehicle, thus also meeting the light emission requirements of the outer watershed.

[0028] Figure 4 This is a cross-sectional view of another arrangement structure of the present invention under external water-cutting co-extrusion molding. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the flexible LED light source 1 is also housed within the covering layer 22. Furthermore, the flexible LED light source 1 is positioned on the side of the frame 21 facing away from the vehicle's outer side. This means that when viewed from the outside of the vehicle, the flexible LED light source 1 is not only partially covered by the covering layer 22 but also partially blocked by the frame 21, effectively embedding the flexible LED light source 1. This design makes it less susceptible to damage from impacts and provides better protection. In this case, the covering layer 22 is entirely made of translucent material, or only the portion corresponding to the flexible LED light source 1 is made of translucent material. Simultaneously, the frame 21 is entirely made of translucent material, or only the portion corresponding to the flexible LED light source 1 is made of translucent material. This ensures that the light emitted by the flexible LED light source 1 is not blocked by the frame 21 and the covering layer 22, allowing people to observe the light emitted by the flexible LED light source 1 within the outer watershed from the outside of the vehicle, thus meeting the light emission requirements of the outer watershed.

[0029] In addition, this embodiment also provides a technical solution for setting the flexible LED light source 1 at the bottom of the water-cutting body 2. Figure 5 This is a cross-sectional view of another arrangement structure of the present invention under external water-cutting co-extrusion molding. For example... Figure 5As shown, at this time, the flexible LED light source 1 is still located within the covering layer 22. Furthermore, the flexible LED light source 1 is positioned at the bottom of the side of the water-cutting body 2 closest to the outer side of the vehicle. Simultaneously, the light-emitting area of ​​the flexible LED light source 1 extends to the bottom edge of the covering layer 22, allowing the light emitted by the flexible LED light source 1 to exit from the bottom of the water-cutting body 2, achieving light emission at the connection gap between the outer water-cutting edge and the door sheet metal 4, thus meeting the light emission requirements of the outer water-cutting edge. It is worth noting that the portion of the covering layer 22 located within the light-emitting area of ​​the flexible LED light source 1 is made of a translucent material to prevent the light emitted by the flexible LED light source 1 from being blocked by the covering layer 22, ensuring the light emission effect.

[0030] Preferably, the flexible LED light source 1 is placed on the side of the frame 21 near the outside of the vehicle. At this time, the side of the covering layer 22 near the outside of the vehicle is exposed to the outside. That is, the side of the water-cutting body 2 near the outside of the vehicle is directly formed by the surface of the covering layer 22. The structure is simple and easy to process and manufacture.

[0031] Further preferred, Figure 6 This is a cross-sectional view of another arrangement structure of the luminescent external water-cutting co-extrusion molding of this utility model. (See figure) Figure 6 As shown, the flexible LED light source 1 is placed on the side of the frame 21 away from the outside of the vehicle. At this time, the flexible LED light source 1 is wrapped by the frame 21, and the side of the frame 21 near the outside of the vehicle is exposed to the outside. That is, the side of the water-cutting body 2 near the outside of the vehicle is directly formed by the surface of the frame 21. Not only can the frame 21 protect the outside of the flexible LED light source 1, but the surface of the frame 21 can also decorate the water-cutting body 2, improving its aesthetics.

[0032] The luminous external water cutter provided in this embodiment includes a flexible LED light source 1 and a water cutter body 2. By using the flexible LED light source arranged along the length direction of the water cutter body 2, the luminous property of the flexible LED light source 1 ensures that light can be emitted from all parts along the length direction of the water cutter body 2, and avoids the problem of light attenuation caused by the increase in light transmission distance, thus ensuring the luminous effect. At the same time, it can also adapt to the length and shape changes of different models of water cutter body 2 through flexible deformation, with better adaptability, so that the external water cutter has the ability to emit light, improves the aesthetics of the vehicle using the external water cutter, meets the requirements of visual change, and makes the vehicle more personalized.

[0033] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the implementation methods and protection scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should realize that any equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made based on the description and illustrations of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
