[0002] The windshield of the convertible is bonded to the windshield frame to fix its position, and the top of the windshield is equipped with a windshield sealing strip that extends along the width of the vehicle to the top corner. The windshield sealing strip is used to seal the gap between the windshield and the convertible roof, and to drain rainwater that seeps between the windshield and the windshield sealing strip.

[0003] For windshield seals, relevant technologies typically incorporate a first liquid collection channel extending along the width of the vehicle. This first channel collects rainwater that seeps between the windshield and the seal, directing it to a second liquid collection channel on the A-pillar seal, from which the rainwater flows out. While this effectively drains the rainwater from the first channel, the problem of delayed drainage persists, potentially impacting the seal's lifespan. Utility Model Content

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0050] This utility model provides a windshield structure for convertibles, such as... Figure 1-3As shown, the convertible's windshield structure includes a windshield 1, an A-pillar, and A-pillar exterior trim panels, A-pillar sealing strips 4, and first elastic seals 2, each corresponding to one of the A-pillars. The first elastic seals 2 are located at the top left corner and / or the top right corner of the windshield 1. The first elastic seals 2 include a first elastic sealing portion 21 and a second elastic sealing portion 22 extending and connected along the left-right direction of the vehicle. The first elastic sealing portion 21 includes a first sub-sealing portion 211 and a second sub-sealing portion 212 connected to each other. The first sub-sealing portion 211 seals and fixes the top inner side of the windshield 1. The second elastic sealing portion 22 is located near the top edge of the windshield 1 relative to the first elastic sealing portion 21. The second sub-sealing portion 212 elastically abuts against the top of the windshield 1 and is used to interact with the convertible's movable roof. The first elastic sealing part 211 and the second elastic sealing part 212 form a first liquid collection channel 213; a drain channel 23 is formed at the connection between the first elastic sealing part 211 and the second elastic sealing part 22, one end of the drain channel 23 is connected to the first liquid collection channel 213, and the other end of the drain channel 23 passes through the side of the first sub-sealing part 211 near the bottom edge of the windshield 1, and the drain channel 23 is located at the edge of the windshield 1 along the left and right direction of the vehicle; a second liquid collection channel is formed inside the second elastic sealing part 22, one end of the second liquid collection channel is connected to the first liquid collection channel 213 and the drain channel 23, and the other end of the second liquid collection channel is sealed and connected to the sixth liquid collection channel of the A-pillar sealing strip 4.

[0051] The convertible includes a left A-pillar located on the left side of the vehicle and a right A-pillar located on the right side. It is understood that a first resilient seal 2 can be provided for the left A-pillar and / or the right A-pillar. In this embodiment, the first resilient seal 2 is provided for both the left and right A-pillars, meaning that both A-pillars of the convertible are equipped with the first resilient seal 2.

[0052] Normally, rainwater and other liquids seep in through the gap between the second sub-seal 212 and the windshield 1, and the gap between the fourth sub-seal 222 and the A-pillar exterior trim panel.

[0053] The convertible windshield structure includes a first elastic seal 2 comprising a first elastic seal portion 21 and a second elastic seal portion 22 extending and connected along the left-right direction of the vehicle. The first elastic seal portion 21 forms a first liquid collection channel 213 extending along its own extension direction, and the second elastic seal portion 22 forms a second liquid collection channel extending along its own extension direction. A drain channel 23 is formed at the connection between the first sub-seal portion 211 and the second elastic seal portion 22. One end of the drain channel 23 communicates with the first liquid collection channel 213, and the other end of the drain channel 23 penetrates the side of the first sub-seal portion 211 near the bottom edge of the windshield 1. When rainwater or other liquids flow through the second sub-seal portion... When liquid seeps into the gap between part 212 and the windshield 1, it flows along the extension direction of the first liquid collection channel 213 to the drain channel 23 and the second liquid collection channel. At the drain channel 23, the liquid is divided into a first part and a second part. The first part of the liquid flows out of the drain channel 23, and the second part of the liquid flows from the second liquid collection channel to the sixth liquid collection channel and finally flows out of the sixth liquid collection channel. This effectively alleviates the problem of untimely liquid drainage in the first liquid collection channel 213 compared to related technologies, and also effectively alleviates the problem of affecting the service life of the first elastic seal 2 due to untimely drainage. This effectively increases the maintenance cycle of the convertible and reduces maintenance costs.

[0054] Among them, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, the first elastic seal 2 also includes a third elastic seal portion 24 extending along the length of the A-pillar. The third elastic seal portion 24 is connected to the second elastic seal portion 22 and to the A-pillar sealing strip 4. A third liquid collection channel is formed within the third elastic seal portion 24. One end of the third liquid collection channel is sealed and connected to the second liquid collection channel, and the other end of the third liquid collection channel is sealed and connected to the sixth liquid collection channel. This arrangement achieves a sealed connection between the second and sixth liquid collection channels. Liquid flowing out of the second liquid collection channel flows sequentially through the third and sixth liquid collection channels and finally flows out of the sixth liquid collection channel. The specific structures of the windshield 1, A-pillar, A-pillar exterior trim panel, and A-pillar sealing strip 4 are all prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0055] Specifically, the A-pillar sealing strip 4 is integrally formed with the third elastic sealing part 24, or the A-pillar sealing strip 4 is bonded to the third elastic sealing part 24, so that the third liquid collection channel and the sixth liquid collection channel are sealed and connected.

[0056] Optionally, in this embodiment, as Figure 1-3As shown, the second elastic sealing part 22 includes a third sub-sealing part 221 and a fourth sub-sealing part 222 connected to each other. The third sub-sealing part 221 elastically abuts against the top inner side of the A-pillar exterior trim panel, and the fourth sub-sealing part 222 elastically abuts against the top inner side of the A-pillar exterior trim panel and is used to elastically abut against the movable roof. A second liquid collection channel is formed in the fourth sub-sealing part 222. The third sub-sealing part 221 and the fourth sub-sealing part 222 form a fourth liquid collection channel 223. A first opening 26 is provided at the connection between the second elastic sealing part 22 and the third sub-sealing part 221. The first opening 26 connects the fourth liquid collection channel 223 and the third liquid collection channel.

[0057] This configuration allows the first liquid collection channel 213 and the third liquid collection channel to be connected through the second liquid collection channel. Furthermore, a fourth liquid collection channel 223 is formed between the third sub-seal portion 221 and the fourth sub-seal portion 222. A first opening 26 is provided at the connection between the second elastic seal portion 22 and the third sub-seal portion 221, and the first opening 26 connects the fourth liquid collection channel 223 and the third liquid collection channel. This allows liquid seeping into the gap between the fourth sub-seal portion 222 and the A-pillar exterior trim panel to be collected by the fourth liquid collection channel 223. The liquid collected by the fourth liquid collection channel 223 flows sequentially through the first opening 26, the third liquid collection channel, and the sixth liquid collection channel, and finally flows out through the sixth liquid collection channel. This further alleviates the problem of untimely liquid drainage compared to related technologies, further mitigating the impact on the service life of the first elastic seal 2 caused by untimely drainage, thereby further increasing the maintenance cycle of the convertible and reducing maintenance costs.

[0058] In other embodiments, the second elastic sealing part 22 may be provided to form only the second liquid collection channel.

[0059] Optionally, in this embodiment, as Figure 1-3 As shown, the first elastic seal 2 also includes a fourth elastic seal portion 25. The second sub-seal portion 212 and the fourth sub-seal portion 222 are both connected to the fourth elastic seal portion 25. The fourth elastic seal portion 25 is used to elastically abut against the movable canopy. The second sub-seal portion 212 and the fourth sub-seal portion 222 together with the fourth elastic seal portion 25 form a fifth liquid collection channel 27. A second opening 28 is also provided at the connection between the second elastic seal portion 22 and the third sub-seal portion 221. The second opening 28 connects the third liquid collection channel and the fifth liquid collection channel 27.

[0060] This design further enhances the reliability of sealing the gap between the windshield 1 and the convertible roof, as well as the reliability of sealing the gap between the A-pillar exterior trim panel and the convertible roof, thereby further improving the comfort of the convertible. Secondly, based on the improved sealing reliability, it also ensures that liquid seeping into the gap between the second sub-seal 212 and the convertible roof can be completely drained, and liquid seeping into the gap between the fourth sub-seal 222 and the convertible roof can also be completely drained, thereby further increasing the maintenance cycle of the convertible and reducing maintenance costs.

[0061] In other embodiments, the first elastic seal 2 may also be configured to include only the first elastic seal portion 21, the second elastic seal portion 22, and the third elastic seal portion 24.

[0062] Optionally, in this embodiment, the cross-sectional area of ​​the third liquid collection channel is larger than that of the second liquid collection channel, the cross-sectional area of ​​the third liquid collection channel is larger than that of the fourth liquid collection channel 223, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the third liquid collection channel is larger than that of the fifth liquid collection channel 27. This further alleviates the problem of untimely liquid drainage and the resulting impact on the service life of the first elastic seal 2, thereby further increasing the maintenance cycle of the convertible and reducing maintenance costs.

[0063] Optionally, in this embodiment, the first elastic seal 2 is a one-piece molded part. That is, the first elastic sealing part 21, the second elastic sealing part 22, the third elastic sealing part 24, and the fourth elastic sealing part 25 of the first elastic seal 2 are integrally molded. This reduces the number of parts, facilitates assembly, and effectively improves the sealing reliability of the first elastic seal 2.

[0064] Optionally, the first elastic seal 2 is a rubber component or a thermoplastic elastic component. For example, the first elastic seal 2 is made of EPDM or TPV. EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) is a synthetic rubber polymerized from ethylene, propylene, and a small amount of non-conjugated diene, possessing properties such as weather resistance, ozone resistance, and high and low temperature resistance. TPV (thermoplastic vulcanizate) is made by dynamic vulcanization using EPDM as the dispersed phase and PP as the continuous phase, combining the elasticity of rubber and the processability of plastics, and can be injection molded or extruded to form the first elastic seal 2.

[0065] Optionally, the first sub-seal 211 is sealed and fixed to the top inner side of the windshield 1 by means of snap-fit, screw-fit, or adhesive, so as to fix the relative position of the first elastic seal 2 and the windshield 1. In this embodiment, as shown... Figure 1-3 and Figure 7As shown, an exemplary configuration is provided in which a snap-fit ​​member 7 is bonded to the top inner side of the windshield 1. The snap-fit ​​member 7 forms a slot 71 extending in the left-right direction of the windshield 1. A first elastic sealing member 2 is inserted into the slot 71 along the extending direction of the slot 71, such that the first sub-sealing part 211 and the second sub-sealing part 212 of the first elastic sealing member 2 are elastically pressed against the top inner side of the windshield 1.

[0066] Specifically, for this embodiment, as Figure 1-3 As shown, the convertible windshield structure also includes a second elastic seal 5, which is located between two first elastic seals 2. The second elastic seal 5 forms a seventh liquid collection channel and an eighth liquid collection channel. The two ends of the seventh liquid collection channel are sealed and connected to the first liquid collection channels 213 of the two first elastic seals 2, and the two ends of the eighth liquid collection channel are sealed and connected to the fifth liquid collection channels 27 of the two first elastic seals 2. Further, the two ends of the second elastic seal 5 along its own extension direction are integrally formed with the first elastic sealing portions 21 of the two first elastic seals 2, or the two ends of the second elastic seal 5 along its own extension direction are bonded to the first elastic sealing portions 21 of the two first elastic seals 2, etc., so that the two ends of the seventh liquid collection channel are sealed and connected to the first liquid collection channels 213 of the two first elastic seals 2, and the two ends of the eighth liquid collection channel are sealed and connected to the fifth liquid collection channels 27 of the two first elastic seals 2. The specific structure of the second elastic seal 5 is the same as that of the first elastic seal 21, so it will not be described again here. The fixing method of the second elastic seal 5 to the inner top of the windshield 1 is the same as that of the first elastic seal 21 to the inner top of the windshield 1, so it will not be described again here.

[0067] Optionally, in this embodiment, as Figure 1-8As shown, the convertible windshield structure also includes elastic guide members 3 that are correspondingly arranged one-to-one with the first elastic seal member 2. The elastic guide members 3 are sealed and fixed to the inner side of the windshield 1. The elastic guide members 3 form a guide channel 31. The first end of the elastic guide members 3 is sealed and inserted into the second sub-seal part 212 at the drain channel 23, so that the drain channel 23 connects the first liquid collection channel 213 and the guide channel 31. The second end of the elastic guide members 3 elastically abuts against the body sheet metal 8 of the convertible windshield structure, so that the liquid flowing out from the guide channel 31 flows out along the body sheet metal 8. The flexible guide component 3 directs the liquid flowing from the drain channel 23 to the vehicle body sheet 8, and then along the sheet 8 to the outside of the vehicle. Compared to the liquid dripping directly onto the sheet 8 and then flowing out, this method further improves the efficiency and reliability of draining the liquid, thus alleviating the problem of untimely liquid drainage. Secondly, compared to the liquid dripping directly onto the sheet 8 and then flowing out, it effectively avoids watertightness issues caused by irregular liquid flow. Furthermore, the flexible guide component 3 itself is elastic, which effectively reduces assembly difficulty and improves product and assembly qualification rates. The specific structure of the body sheet 8 is prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0068] Specifically, such as Figure 2-8 As shown, the elastic guide member 3 includes a first connecting portion 32 and a guide portion 33 connected together. The first connecting portion 32 is sealed and fixed to the inner side of the windshield 1, and a guide channel 31 is formed between the first connecting portion 32 and the guide portion 33. A second sub-sealing portion 212 is sealed and inserted between the first connecting portion 32 and the guide portion 33, so that the drain channel 23 connects the first collection channel 213 and the guide channel 31. This achieves a sealed insertion of the first end of the elastic guide member 3 with the second sub-sealing portion 212 at the drain channel 23, and connects the drain channel 23 with the first collection channel 213 and the guide channel 31.

[0069] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first connecting part 32 is sealed and fixed to the inside of the windshield 1 by adhesive bonding.

[0070] Specifically, in this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the drainage channel 23 is roughly funnel-shaped. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the second sub-sealing part 212 forms an insertion part 2121 at the drain channel 23. The outer wall of the insertion part 2121 includes a first sealing wall and two second sealing walls connected to both ends of the first sealing wall along the extending direction of the first elastic sealing part 21. Figure 2-8As shown, the flow guide 33 includes a first sub-flow guide plate 331 and a second sub-flow guide plate 332 connected at an included angle, and two third sub-flow guide plate sections 333. The two third sub-flow guide plate sections 333 are distributed on both sides of the first sub-flow guide plate section 331 and the second sub-flow guide plate section 332 along the extending direction of the first elastic sealing section 21. Each third sub-flow guide plate is connected to the first sub-flow guide plate section 331 and the second sub-flow guide plate section 332 to form a flow guide groove. The connecting part 32 and the inner wall of the guide groove form a guide channel 31; the insertion part 2121 is inserted into the guide groove, the first sub-guide plate part 331 elastically abuts against the first sealing wall, and the two second sealing walls elastically abut against the two third sub-guide plate parts 333 in a one-to-one correspondence, so as to realize that the second sub-sealing part 212 is sealed between the first connecting part 32 and the guide part 33, and makes the drain channel 23 connect the first liquid collection channel 213 and the guide channel 31.

[0071] Further, optionally, in this embodiment, as Figure 3-5 and Figure 7 As shown, the elastic guide member 3 also includes a second connecting portion 34, which is located within the guide channel 31. The second connecting portion 34 connects the first connecting portion 32 and the inner bottom wall of the guide portion 33. That is, the second connecting portion 34 connects the first connecting portion 32 and the second sub-guide plate portion 332. Since the elastic guide member 3 is an elastic member, the second connecting portion 34 is provided to connect the first connecting portion 32 and the second sub-guide plate portion 332. The second connecting portion 34 serves both a connecting and a supporting function, thereby effectively improving the reliability of guiding the liquid in the drain channel 23 to the body sheet metal 8 through the elastic guide member 3.

[0072] Further, optionally, in this embodiment, as Figure 2-5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the elastic guide 3 also includes an A-pillar exterior panel sealing portion 35. The A-pillar exterior panel sealing portion 35 and the first connecting portion 32 are distributed sequentially along the left-right direction of the vehicle, and the A-pillar exterior panel sealing portion 35 elastically abuts against the side of the A-pillar exterior panel near the windshield 1 along the left-right direction of the vehicle. This arrangement can seal the gap between the A-pillar exterior panel and the windshield 1, thereby further improving the comfort of the convertible.

[0073] Specifically, in this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 8As shown, the convertible's windshield structure also includes an A-pillar exterior trim panel sealing strip 6. The A-pillar exterior trim panel sealing part 35 and the A-pillar exterior trim panel sealing strip 6 are arranged sequentially along the length of the A-pillar and are sealed together. The A-pillar exterior trim panel sealing strip 6 is also used to seal the gap between the A-pillar exterior trim panel and the windshield 1, ensuring the reliability of sealing the gap between the A-pillar exterior trim panel and the windshield 1. The sealing connection method is integral molding or bonding, etc. The specific structure of the A-pillar exterior trim panel sealing strip 6 is prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0074] Further, optionally, in this embodiment, as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6-8 As shown, the elastic guide member 3 also includes a support portion 36, which is connected to the outer bottom wall of the guide portion 33 and elastically abuts against the body sheet metal 8. Specifically, the support portion 36 is connected to the second sub-guide plate portion 332 and elastically abuts against the body sheet metal 8. This further improves the reliability of the elastic guide member 3 in guiding the liquid in the drain channel 23 to the body sheet metal 8.

[0075] Alternatively, in this embodiment, the elastic guide 3 is a one-piece molded part. That is, the first connecting part 32, the guide part 33, the second connecting part 34, the A-pillar exterior trim sealing part 35, and the support part 36 of the elastic guide 3 are integrally molded. This reduces the number of parts, facilitates assembly, and effectively improves the flow guidance reliability of the elastic guide 3.

[0076] Alternatively, the elastic guide element 3 can be a rubber part or a thermoplastic elastic part. For example, the elastic guide element 3 is made of EPDM or TPV. EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) is a synthetic rubber polymerized from ethylene, propylene, and a small amount of non-conjugated diene, possessing properties such as weather resistance, ozone resistance, and high and low temperature resistance. TPV (thermoplastic vulcanizate) is made by dynamic vulcanization using EPDM as the dispersed phase and PP as the continuous phase, combining the elasticity of rubber and the processability of plastics, and can be injection molded to form the elastic guide element 3 or extruded to form the elastic guide element 3.

[0077] This utility model also provides a convertible, including a retractable roof and the aforementioned convertible windshield structure. By adopting the aforementioned convertible windshield structure, the user comfort, drainage performance, and waterproof performance of the convertible can be effectively improved, and the maintenance cycle of the convertible can be effectively increased, while reducing maintenance costs.

[0078] The specific structure of the movable canopy is existing technology, so it will not be described in detail here.
