Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of automotive parts technology, specifically to a dynamic sealing door sealing strip. Background Technology
[0002] The automotive door sealing system is one of the key subsystems for ensuring driving comfort and overall vehicle quality. Within its core component—the window regulator mechanism—balancing the sliding guidance of the window glass, dynamic sealing, NVH performance, and visual aesthetics has always been a key focus of continuous technological optimization in the industry.
[0003] In traditional car window regulator mechanisms, the sliding guidance function of the glass is usually achieved by rigid metal or plastic guide rails located inside the door. A separate rubber sealing strip is responsible for sealing the gaps in the window. Although this architecture, which separates the guiding and sealing functions, is mature, it has inherent drawbacks such as complex structure, numerous parts, and the rigid contact that can easily generate noise.
[0004] To simplify structure and optimize performance, some designs have emerged that integrate sliding guidance functionality into the sealing strip itself. A common approach in these integrated solutions is to integrally mold an internal cavity within the sealing strip, made of elastic material, to house and guide the sliding mechanism that connects to the glass. This design eliminates the need for external rigid guide rails, demonstrating significant potential in terms of structural simplification and achieving a "zero-surface-difference" aesthetic.
[0005] However, those skilled in the art, upon in-depth research into these "cavity-guided" sealing strips, have discovered that their internal dynamic sealing structure—the part where the inner side of the sealing strip slides into contact with the glass surface—generally employs a single-layer sealing lip design. While this single-layer inner lip design achieves basic sealing functionality, its limitations become increasingly apparent when facing increasingly stringent NVH performance requirements and the pursuit of ultimate interior aesthetics in high-end vehicles. 1. A single-lip seal provides only a single-line contact seal. Under complex operating conditions where the glass and sliding mechanism alternately pass through, even minute deformation differences can create gaps along the seal line, which is insufficient to completely prevent the long-term intrusion of dust and moisture. The accumulation of dust increases sliding resistance and may accelerate the wear of the sealing lip.
[0006] 2. The dynamic constraint force of a single-point lip on the sliding mechanism is limited. Under the complex vibration conditions of vehicle operation, the sliding mechanism may produce slight displacement or vibration. This unstable single-point contact state is very likely to cause abnormal noises (such as friction noise, knocking noise, or flutter noise) at the contact interface, becoming a significant weakness affecting the overall vehicle noise reduction quality.
[0007] 3. When the car window is fully lowered, the user's line of sight can directly see the inner cavity of the sealing strip. The simple structure of the single lip exposes some of the mechanical components inside the cavity (such as the breakpoints of the sliding mechanism, the connecting structure, etc.), creating an unsightly "visual void" that undermines the overall feel and premium feel of the interior, failing to meet the aesthetic demands of modern consumers for refined design details.
[0008] Therefore, how to design an innovative sealing structure that can both inherit the structural advantages of integrated sealing strips and fundamentally overcome the triple defects of single inner lip in terms of sealing performance, NVH and aesthetics has become an important technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Utility Model Content
[0009] To address the issues of insufficient sealing integrity and poor visual aesthetics caused by the exposure of internal components when the window is fully lowered, which are inherent problems in existing integrated sealing strips with internal cavity guidance, this paper provides a door sealing strip and system with optimized structure.
[0010] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A dynamic sealing door sealing strip, the sealing strip being made of an elastic material and defining an inner cavity extending along its length for receiving and guiding a sliding mechanism; The sealing strip includes a fourth lip extending from its sealing strip body; and also includes: A seventh lip extends integrally from the sealing strip body into the inner cavity; The seventh lip is configured as follows: Before the sliding mechanism reaches its longitudinal position, it elastically abuts against the surface of a glass. When the sliding mechanism reaches its longitudinal position, it undergoes elastic deformation due to the contour of the sliding mechanism, and then forms a sliding contact with the surface of the sliding mechanism; and When the glass is fully lowered, it covers the break point of the sliding mechanism and the interior of the cavity.
[0011] Furthermore, the cross-sectional profile of the seventh lip is integrally formed with at least one seventh lip recess and at least one seventh lip protrusion.
[0012] Furthermore, a wear-resistant layer is provided on the surface of the seventh lip that contacts the sliding mechanism.
[0013] Furthermore, the guide rail includes an extension platform extending outward from its obstructing protrusion, and the bottom extension portion of the fourth lip is supported on the extension platform to form a structural interface for overlapping or snapping on an interior panel.
[0014] Furthermore, the sealing strip also integrally extends into a sixth lip; thus, the sixth lip and a portion of the fourth lip work together vertically to clamp the edge of an interior panel.
[0015] Furthermore, the lower structure of the fourth lip extends integrally to form a C-shaped receiving cavity for covering and sealing the end of a door sheet metal panel.
[0016] A door sealing system includes: a door sealing strip as described above; and A sliding mechanism is housed within the cavity of the door sealing strip; The sliding mechanism has a clearance space defined on its outline, which is configured to accommodate elastic deformation that occurs when the sliding mechanism moves and engages with the seventh lip.
[0017] Furthermore, the sliding mechanism also includes an upwardly extending U-shaped adhesive receiving groove; wherein, a wavy pattern is formed on the base surface of the U-shaped adhesive receiving groove.
[0018] A vehicle door includes a door frame, a retractable glass, and a door sealing system as described above.
[0019] An automobile, including a body and the aforementioned doors.
[0020] Beneficial effects The seventh lip added to the technical solution of this application forms a double dynamic seal with the original fourth lip. The "switching seal" ensures that there is always at least one effective sealing line during the entire stroke of the alternating movement of the glass and the sliding mechanism, which more effectively prevents the intrusion of dust and moisture, ensures the long-term smooth operation of the sliding mechanism, and improves the durability of the system.
[0021] The newly added seventh lip provides additional, flexible dynamic constraint to the sliding mechanism when it comes into contact with it, enhancing the stability of the sealing strip on the sliding mechanism and effectively suppressing its slight displacement or vibration under vibration conditions such as vehicle driving. This eliminates the abnormal noise caused by the vibration and significantly improves the overall vehicle's quietness and ride comfort.
[0022] With the windows fully lowered, the seventh lip conceals the breaks in the underlying mechanical structure and sliding mechanism. As described in the specific implementation, it "fills in any visual gaps that might otherwise appear," presenting users with a complete and continuous high-quality interior appearance. This perfectly solves the aesthetic defects caused by a single lip design and satisfies modern consumers' pursuit of exquisite design details. Attached Figure Description

[0040] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this application are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0041] To better describe and illustrate the embodiments of this application, reference may be made to one or more accompanying drawings, but the additional details or examples used to describe the drawings should not be considered as limiting the scope of any of the inventive creations of this application, the embodiments or preferred methods described herein.
[0042] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that the terms "length", "width", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the positional relationship shown in the corresponding drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and do not indicate that the device referred to must have a specific orientation or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting this invention.
[0043] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.
[0044] For the wear-resistant layer 8, those skilled in the art can preferentially choose the wear-resistant EPDM lubricant disclosed in CN117186524A, or they can choose PE, flocking, or other technical solutions that are well known to those skilled in the art.
[0045] Please see the appendix Figure 1 and 2 , attached Figure 1 and 2 This is a schematic diagram of a cross-sectional design structure according to this application. A sealing strip 4, preferably integrally extruded from an elastic material (such as EPDM rubber or TPV thermoplastic elastomer) with a specific cross-sectional shape, is fixedly installed in a guide rail 3 pre-installed on the door frame or vehicle body. A sliding mechanism is held within the sealing strip 4, and the sliding mechanism has an end fixedly connected to the bottom or side of the glass 601. At least a portion of the sliding mechanism is accommodated within the cavity of the sealing strip 4 and can slide relative to the sealing strip 4 along the extension direction of the cavity. During the operation of raising and lowering the window, the sliding mechanism is driven to move up and down by a drive component, causing the glass 601 to rise and fall. The sealing strip 4 limits the sliding mechanism, causing the sliding mechanism to drive the glass 601 to move along a preset direction.
[0046] The guide rail 3 has a mounting groove for accommodating the sealing strip 4. The sealing strip 4 is fixedly housed in the guide rail 3 by engaging with the inner wall features of the mounting groove, achieving a stable assembly relationship. The limiting protrusion 301 and the obstructing protrusion 302 respectively hold and limit the sealing strip 4 from the top and bottom.
[0047] In one specific embodiment of this application, the obstruction protrusion 302 of the guide rail 3 extends outward to form an extension platform 303. A portion of the sealing strip body 401 extending towards the bottom of the fourth lip 407 is supported on the upper surface of this extension platform 303. Furthermore, a certain gap is formed between the extension platform 303, the obstruction protrusion 302, and the bottom of the fourth lip 407, which can serve as a structural interface for cooperation with the interior trim panel 7. During vehicle assembly, the end portion of the interior trim panel 7 can be directly overlapped or snapped into the aforementioned structural interface, simplifying the overall structure of the door assembly. Simultaneously, the interior trim panel 7 directly covers the extension platform 303, avoiding direct exposure of the metal structure. This allows for a smooth visual transition and natural assembly gap between the sealing strip 4 and the interior trim panel 7, significantly improving the overall feel and refinement of the vehicle's interior.
[0048] Please continue to refer to the appendix. Figure 1 and 2 A sealing strip 4 includes a sealing strip body 401. On the bottom surface of the sealing strip body 401, a plurality of downwardly protruding support portions 402 are integrally formed. The support portions 402 are used to support the sealing strip body 401 on the bottom of the guide rail 3 and maintain a preset installation gap.
[0049] On the inner and outer walls of the sealing strip body 401, multiple lip structures are provided for sealing and engaging with the inner cavity of the guide rail 3. Specifically, a first lip 403 extends downward from the outer side of the sealing strip body 401 and abuts against the inner wall of the guide rail 3. When abutting, the first lip 403 deforms towards a pre-set first lip recess 4031. Above the first lip 403, a second lip 404 extends from the sealing strip body 401 to the inner wall of the guide rail 3, and the second lip 404 abuts against the interior of the guide rail 3. At the uppermost part of the outer side of the sealing strip body 401, a fifth lip 408 extends outward, its position corresponding to the limiting protrusion 301 provided on the guide rail 3, together serving the functions of sealing and guiding. A third lip 405 extends outward from the outer side of the sealing strip body 401, and this third lip 405 abuts against the obstructing protrusion 302 on the guide rail 3. The sealing strip 4 is firmly fixed in the cavity of the guide rail 3 by the bidirectional clamping and positioning formed by the first lip 403, the second lip 404, the third lip 405 and the fifth lip 408 with the inner and outer walls of the guide rail 3.
[0050] Specifically, in one embodiment, the upper part of the sealing strip 4 is integrally formed with a hollow decorative bubble tube 406A. The decorative bubble tube 406A is made of foamed rubber. It is integrally connected to the sealing strip body 401, which is made of dense rubber, through its first end 4061 and second end 4062, by extrusion molding, thus forming a closed internal cavity. The first end 4061 of the decorative bubble tube body 4063 simultaneously abuts against the outer trim panel 602, while the outer surface of the decorative bubble tube body 4063 abuts against the glass 601, thus being in a pre-compressed state after installation. A wear-resistant layer 8 is also covered on the outer surface of the decorative bubble tube body 4063. When the glass 601 is raised or lowered, its surface slides in contact with this wear-resistant layer 8. This design not only utilizes the elastic deformation of the decorative bubble tube 406A to achieve a seal, but also ensures the reliability of dynamic contact through the wear-resistant layer 8, and ultimately creates a visually continuous and flush overall appearance between the outer panel 602 and the glass 601.
[0051] At the other end of the sealing strip body 401, a fourth lip 407 is integrally formed, which performs the main dynamic sealing function. The fourth lip 407 is fixedly connected to the sealing strip body 401 and extends upward and downward into an elastic arm-shaped structure. The arm-shaped structure has a concave first recessed portion 4071 and an outward convex first protruding portion 4072 of the fourth lip, the top of which is used to elastically abut against the surface of the glass 601. A wear-resistant layer 8 is covered on the outer surface of the arm-shaped structure that contacts the glass 601 to withstand the sliding friction during the lifting and lowering of the glass 601. In addition, a fourth lip extension 4076 extends from near the root 4073 of the fourth lip, which covers the upper edge of the interior panel 7 downward, realizing a smooth transition and overlapping seal between the lip structure and the interior panel 7.
[0052] Please see Figure 3 To achieve guidance and drive, a sliding mechanism is enclosed inside the sealing strip body 401. Specifically, the inner cavity of the sealing strip 4 has a generally C-shaped cross-section, and its inner wall is provided with a generally C-shaped wear-resistant layer 8. The sliding mechanism is preferably integrally formed from a sliding column 501, a sliding column connecting part 505, and a first slider 502. As one embodiment, the sliding mechanism can be integrally molded from plastic, or it can be a low-friction nylon composite material, or other materials well known to those skilled in the art. The sliding column 501 is cylindrical and is housed within the C-shaped cavity of the sealing strip 4, forming a line contact with its upper and lower inner walls extending along its length. This double-guided contact method reduces the frictional resistance of the sliding mechanism during sliding, allowing the entire sliding mechanism to perform smooth linear reciprocating motion along the inner cavity path of the sealing strip 4 under the action of the drive motor.
[0053] Structurally, the sliding column 501 is connected to the first slider 502 via the sliding column connecting part 505. The first slider 502 consists of a first slider connecting part 5021, a first slider body 5022, and a first slider adhesive part 5023, and its outer contour gradually expands from the first slider connecting part 5021 towards the first slider adhesive part 5023. By applying adhesive to the first slider adhesive part 5023, the sliding mechanism and the glass 601 are fixedly connected. In the entire sealing system, the drive motor drives the sliding mechanism to reciprocate within the cavity of the sealing strip 4, thereby causing the glass 601, which is fixedly connected to it, to synchronously complete the lifting and lowering action.
[0054] Please see Figure 4 In one specific embodiment of the present invention, to accommodate the potentially large installation gap between the guide rail 3 and the sealing strip body 401, and to ensure that the interior panel 7 with limited thickness can be stably held, this solution incorporates an adaptive design for the lip structure on the outer side of the sealing strip 4. Specifically, to effectively bridge the installation gap and provide a stable supporting base for the interior panel 7, a sixth lip 409 extends outward from the sealing strip body 401, thereby providing reliable elastic support for the lower surface of the interior panel 7. In conjunction with this, the fourth lip extension 4074 of the fourth lip 407 elastically presses against the upper surface of the interior panel 7 from above. Through the upward support of the sixth lip 409 and the downward pressing of the fourth lip extension 4074, the edge of the interior panel 7 is firmly clamped in a preset position, thus solving the problem of unstable installation of the interior panel 7 due to a large structural span, forming a double sealing barrier, significantly improving the assembly stability and overall sealing performance of this area. Meanwhile, the interior panel 7 can still cover the guide rail 3, and there is a smooth transition between the lip structure and the interior panel 7.
[0055] Please see Figures 5-7 To enhance the overall aesthetic integration of the vehicle design, reduce the gaps between body components (GAP), and decrease the operating force required for window operation, this invention provides a new embodiment. The core of this solution lies in replacing the original decorative bubble tube 406A with a decorative lip 406B, which can be made of foamed rubber or dense rubber as needed. Apart from this key difference, the remaining structures in this embodiment, such as the fourth lip 407, the sealing strip body 401, and its mating relationship with the guide rail 3, remain consistent with the aforementioned embodiment.
[0056] Structurally, the decorative lip 406B is integrally formed with the main body of the sealing strip 4. Its first end 4068 extends to the left, abutting against the outer trim panel 602; it extends from the first end 4068 to the second end 4064 to form the decorative lip. The decorative lip elastically abuts against the end of the glass 601. Under the lateral pressure of the glass 601, the protrusion 4065 of the decorative lip elastically deforms towards the pre-set recess 4067 on the decorative lip, thereby forming a reliable seal. All lip surfaces that slide in contact with the glass 601 are covered with a wear-resistant layer 8 to ensure the reliability of dynamic contact, and also create a visually continuous and flush overall appearance between the outer trim panel 602 and the glass 601.
[0057] The advantage of this design lies in the fact that the arm-like structure of the decorative lip 406B has no rigid support underneath, allowing it to swing freely like a cantilever, thus exerting minimal rebound force on the glass 601. This contrasts sharply with the traditional decorative bubble tube 406A, which provides greater support due to its complete structure, thereby reducing the force required to raise and lower the glass 601. Secondly, because the shape of the decorative lip 406B is much thinner and more compact than that of the traditional bubble tube 406A, the visible gap between the outer trim panel 602 and the glass 601 is significantly reduced, resulting in a more compact overall profile for the sealing strip 4'. This allows for a smaller overall size of the sealing strip 4', achieving weight reduction and saving door space, thus providing greater design freedom for other door components.
[0058] Further, please refer to Figure 8 To meet the higher requirements of NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) performance and visual aesthetics in application scenarios, this invention also provides an optimized sealing strip inner cavity structure. Figures 1-7 In this design, the fourth lip 407 is the main component that makes sliding friction contact with the glass side, and it is a single-layer inner lip design. However, this single-layer inner lip design has the following technical problems: 1. The single-line contact and seal provided by the single lip means that after the fourth lip 407 deforms, its end cannot reach the first slider 502, which is insufficient to completely block dust and moisture. Under long-term use, dust accumulation may increase the operating resistance of the sliding mechanism; 2. The single-point contact has a weak constraint on the glass sliding mechanism. Under the vibration conditions of vehicle driving, the slider may experience slight displacement or vibration, which may cause abnormal noise and negatively affect the vehicle's NVH performance; 3. When the window glass 601 is fully lowered, the user's line of sight can directly see the inner cavity of the sealing strip. The single-layer lip structure exposes the internal mechanical components, making it appear hollow and destroying the visual integrity and sense of luxury, failing to meet the increasingly sophisticated aesthetic demands of consumers. Therefore, the industry urgently needs an innovative sealing structure that can improve both functional performance and visual aesthetics.
[0059] Therefore, this solution extends a seventh lip 410 upward on the sealing strip body 401 and replaces the first slider 502 with a new second slider 503.
[0060] Considering that the length of the sliding mechanism is typically less than the full length of the sealing strip 401, a seal interruption will occur in the areas it does not cover. Therefore, we extend a seventh lip 410 upwards on the body of the sealing strip 401 and replace the previous first slider 502 with a new second slider 503. Specifically, we see... Figure 8 The seventh lip 410 includes a seventh lip protrusion and a seventh lip recess 4101 and a seventh lip protrusion 4102. A wear-resistant layer 8 is provided on one side of the seventh lip 410, which realizes the stable guidance and sealing function for the sliding mechanism and the glass 601.
[0061] Please combine Figure 9 Understanding: In the region where the second slider 503 of the sliding mechanism has not yet moved to its longitudinal position (seventh lip 410), the end of the seventh lip 410 will naturally and elastically abut against the surface of the glass 601 to ensure the continuity of the seal. When the second slider 503 moves to this region along its preset path, the contour of its slider body will force the seventh lip 410 to elastically deform downwards. At this time, the wear-resistant layer 8 on the surface of the seventh lip 410 will then slide into contact with the lower surface of the second slider 503. This embodiment utilizes the flexibility of the seventh lip 410 to seamlessly switch its sealing object under different working conditions, ensuring both the integrity of the seal throughout the entire stroke and a smooth, wear-resistant dynamic fit with the sliding mechanism. In addition, when the window is lowered, the seventh lip 410 conceals the mechanical structure and the break in the sliding mechanism below, filling the visual gap that might otherwise appear, presenting the user with a complete, continuous, high-quality appearance, thereby satisfying consumers' pursuit of exquisite design aesthetics.
[0062] Please see the appendix Figure 10 This application also discloses a second slider 503 with an optimized structure. The second slider 503 includes a cylindrical slide post 501 serving as a guide element. The slide post 501 is housed within the C-shaped cavity of the sealing strip 4 and forms a low-friction line contact with the wear-resistant layer 8 disposed on the inner wall of the cavity. The slide post 501 is connected to the second slider body 5032 via an integrally formed slide post connecting portion 505.
[0063] Unlike the first slider 502, which has a gradually expanding shape, the second slider 503 employs a more compact and linear contour design between its connecting part and the main body. Its core purpose is to provide necessary elastic clearance space for the seventh lip 410 on the sealing strip 4. When the second slider 503 moves and contacts the seventh lip 410, this clearance space can accommodate the elastic deformation of the seventh lip 410. Without this space, the end of the seventh lip 410 would rigidly interfere with or continuously rub against the second limiting flange 5034 of the second slider 503. This would not only exacerbate premature wear of the seventh lip 410 but could also cause abnormal noise due to changes in the fit clearance after long-term use, thus affecting the overall vehicle noise reduction performance.
[0064] Furthermore, the second slider body 5032 extends upward to form a U-shaped adhesive receiving groove. This receiving groove is formed by a first limiting flange 5033 and a second limiting flange 5034 serving as sidewalls, and a second slider adhesive portion 5035 serving as a base surface. This structure provides precise positioning for the adhesive 504 and the parts to be bonded, prevents the adhesive 504 from overflowing, and ensures the uniformity of the adhesive layer thickness, thereby improving production efficiency and assembly accuracy.
[0065] Furthermore, the second slider bonding portion 5035 is provided with a wave pattern 5036, thereby forming a rough texture on the surface of the bonding portion. By significantly increasing the effective contact area and forming a microscopic mechanical interlock with the cured adhesive 504, the shear and peel strength of the bonding interface is greatly enhanced.
[0066] Please see Figure 11 In certain vehicle platforms or body structure designs, the flange edge of the door sheet metal 9 may be wide, and no independent interior panel 7 may be provided to cover it. This structure not only visually exposes the original sheet metal parts, resulting in an incomplete and unsightly appearance, but also leaves a potential gap that could become a pathway for noise, dust, and moisture to enter the passenger compartment. To solve this specific technical problem, this application provides a sealing strip structure with an adaptive design.
[0067] Therefore, this technical solution functionally extends the lower structure of the fourth lip 407. Specifically, the fourth lip 407 extends downwards and towards the sheet metal 9 from its root to cover the end of the sheet metal 9. The second protrusion 4074, the second recess 4075, and the extension 4076 of the fourth lip are sequentially connected to form a roughly C-shaped receiving cavity. Specifically, the second protrusion 4074 of the fourth lip abuts against the sheet metal 9, and the second recess 4075 extends out to accommodate the end of the sheet metal 9. It further extends to form the extension 4076 of the fourth lip to cover the protruding end. After the sealing strip 4 is installed, the extension 4076 of the fourth lip will undergo elastic deformation and form a tight seal with the surface of the door sheet metal 9.
[0068] Through this integrated extended structure, this solution utilizes the sealing strip 4 itself to achieve both decorative and concealing functions for the door sheet metal 9. This not only completely solves the visual discontinuity problem caused by the exposed door sheet metal 9, achieving seamless visual integration and a high-quality appearance, but also eliminates the need for additional independent interior trim panel 7, thereby optimizing component costs and assembly processes.
