Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle cavity sealing technology, and in particular to an expansion block structure for sealing vehicle cavities in water. Background Technology
[0002] With rising demands for user experience, the requirements for airtightness are becoming more stringent, and some new models are beginning to require waterproofing. Due to the design characteristics of vehicle body structures, there are cavities in the vehicle body after assembly. The greater the wading depth of a vehicle, the stronger its survivability in extreme weather conditions such as floods and heavy rain, and the better it can protect passenger safety. Furthermore, the market is now demanding the development of amphibious vehicles, which requires vehicles to have excellent watertightness performance, making them safer and more reliable when wading. The cavity sealant structure is a crucial sealing component for ensuring a vehicle doesn't leak water and is safer and more reliable. Ordinary sound insulation cavity sealants consist of a nylon PA (polyamide) skeleton and traditional foaming material EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer). After coating and high-temperature baking, the thermally expanded sealing material foams and fills the cavity. However, ordinary soundproof cavity blocks do not meet high water tightness requirements, and thermal expansion sealants cannot effectively fill the sharp corners of sheet metal overlaps, leaving a risk of water ingress. Furthermore, waterproof products on the market are expensive and have long mold-making cycles.
[0003] During vehicle operation, the friction between high-speed airflow and cavities creates vortices within the cavity walls, generating turbulent airflow noise. This turbulent airflow can also cause cavity resonance noise, and the high-speed airflow field easily transmits external noise. Therefore, to reduce noise and improve user experience, it is necessary to block the airflow within the cavities. Current technology typically uses expanded polyurethane (EVA) blocks to fill and seal the cavities in the vehicle body to block airflow. However, with increasing user demands and higher requirements for noise reduction, traditional EVA blocks, due to incomplete filling of gaps after foaming and poor airtightness, cannot completely solve the related noise problems. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an expanding rubber block structure for sealing water-resistant cavities in vehicles, solving the technical problems of existing technologies where the vehicle body cannot be waterproofed, waterproof products are expensive, and the cavity lacks airtightness, resulting in poor sound insulation and noise reduction. This invention is assembled from foamed material and hot melt adhesive, installed vertically, and after foaming, completely seals the cavities of the vehicle body sheet metal, achieving complete sealing and significantly improving the sealing performance of the vehicle body cavities, thus enhancing the overall watertightness of the vehicle.
[0005] The above-mentioned objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: The expansion block structure for sealing water immersion cavities in vehicles includes a left water seal assembly 1, a right water seal assembly 2, and a body sheet metal 3. The left water seal assembly 1 includes a left nylon skeleton 11 and hot melt adhesive 12, which are integrated by two-color injection molding. The right water seal assembly 2 includes a right nylon skeleton 21 and foam material 22, which are integrated by two-color injection molding.
[0006] The right-side water seal assembly 2 and the left-side water seal assembly 1 are interlocked and connected to each other to form a single unit.
[0007] The expansion block structure is vertically fastened to the slot of the body sheet metal 3 by the buckle 4.
[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model is assembled from foam material and hot melt adhesive. After vertical installation, the foam material fills the gaps in the body sheet metal, achieving complete sealing and significantly improving the sealing performance of the body cavity, thus enhancing the overall water tightness of the vehicle. Furthermore, it has a simple structure, low development costs, and strong practicality. Attached Figure Description
