Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an automobile door structure in which a division bar fixed to the window frame that forms the window opening divides the window opening into front and rear sections, with fixed glass placed on the front side (one side) and retractable glass placed on the rear side (the other side). [Background technology]

[0002] As shown in Figure 9, a known automobile door structure has a window opening formed by the belt line BL, which is the upper end of the main body of the front door 101 of an automobile 100, and the window frame 104, which is divided into front and rear parts by a division bar 1, and a fixed glass 200 is arranged on the front side via a sealing material such as a gasket (not shown), and a retractable glass 300 is arranged on the rear side via a vertical glass run.

[0003] In a type in which an upper edge glass run, which has a groove formed therein for guiding the upper end of the retractable glass 300, is fitted into the window frame 104 from below, the upper end of the division bar 1 is usually fixed to the window frame 104 via an L-shaped bracket (not shown). For example, an example of a sash door is bracket 7 in Patent Document 1, and an example of a panel door is bracket 18 in Patent Document 2. As shown in Figure 10, in the case of a so-called hidden type upper edge glass run 3, which is part of the window frame 104 and is attached from the outside of the vehicle to a glass run mounting plate 2 that extends to the outside of the vehicle, and which covers and conceals part of the window frame 104 from the outside of the vehicle, it is difficult to fix the division bar 1 to the glass run mounting plate 2 because the upper edge glass run 3 is attached to the glass run mounting plate 2.

[0004] Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11, an upper edge glass run 3 extending in the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle and a vertical edge glass run 4 extending up and down are molded into one piece, and a metal connecting portion 5 provided at the upper end of the division bar 1 is engaged with an engaging portion 6 provided on an outer panel 7 located below the glass run mounting plate portion 2, thereby fixing the upper end of the division bar 1 to the window frame 104 (for example, Patent Document 3).

[0006] However, the automobile door structure shown in Figure 11 requires a metal connecting portion 5 to be provided at the upper end of the division bar 1, and also requires an engaging portion 6 to be provided on the outer panel 7 to engage the metal connecting portion 5, resulting in a complex structure. Furthermore, it is necessary to integrally mold the upper glass run 3 and the vertical glass run 4. To achieve this, it is necessary to partially cut out the lower portion of the upper glass run 3 and then mold it integrally with the vertical glass run 4, which complicates the work process and increases manufacturing costs. In addition, the parts become larger, which increases transportation costs.

[0007] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an automobile door structure that is simple in structure and does not impair sealing function at a relatively low cost. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an automobile door structure in which a window opening of an automobile (100) is divided into one side and the other side by a division bar (150) whose upper end is fixed to a window frame (104) forming the window opening, and a fixed glass (200) is arranged on one side of the division bar (150) via a seal material (50), and a liftable glass (300) is arranged on the other side via a vertical glass run (30), At a position above the upper end of the division bar (150), the upper end of the sealing material (50) and the upper end of the vertical side glass run (30) are connected and integrated to form a division bar upper end seal portion (80); The division bar upper end seal portion (80) is inserted and fixed into a downward opening recess (20a) formed in an upper edge glass run (20) attached to the window frame (104) and extending in the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle.

[0009] The present invention is also characterized in that the upper edge glass run (20) extends beyond the upper end of the division bar (150) to one side of the vehicle, and the upper end of the fixed glass (200) is inserted into and fixed in a downward opening recess (20a) of the upper edge glass run (200).

[0010] In addition, the present invention provides a vehicle exterior glass run (20) having an upper wall (21) arranged above a glass run mounting plate (112) extending from the window frame (104) toward the vehicle exterior, a lower wall (22) arranged below the glass run mounting plate (112), and an outer wall (23) connecting the vehicle exterior end of the upper wall (21) and the vehicle exterior end of the lower wall (22), and an inward opening recess (20b) formed by the upper wall (21), the lower wall (22), and the outer wall (23) is assembled to the glass run mounting plate (112) from the vehicle exterior, and The downward opening recess (20a) is characterized by being composed of the lower wall (22), a lower seal portion (27) extending downward from the outer end of the lower wall (22), and an inner seal portion (26) extending downward from the inner end of the lower wall (23).

[0011] The present invention is also characterized in that the upper portion (82) of the division bar upper end seal portion (80) is thinner in thickness in the vehicle width direction than the lower portion (81) thereof.

[0012] In addition, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a vehicle door, comprising: forming an upper portion (82) of the division bar upper end seal portion (80) with a main body portion (82a) disposed between the other end of the fixed glass (200) and one end of the lift-up glass (300); an interior seal lip (82b) and an exterior seal lip (82c) on one side of the main body (82a) that elastically contact the interior and exterior surfaces of the fixed glass (200), respectively; The main body portion (82a) is characterized in that an inner side seal lip (82d) and an outer side seal lip (82e) are formed on the inner side and the outer side of the other vehicle, respectively, to slide in contact with the inner side and the outer side of the lift-up glass (300).

[0013] In addition, the present invention is characterized in that the one-side interior seal lip (82b) and the one-side exterior seal lip (82c) are formed so that their cross-sectional shapes have gradually thinner thicknesses in the vehicle width direction toward one side, The other-side interior seal lip (82d) and the other-side exterior seal lip (82e) are characterized in that their cross-sectional shapes are formed so that the thickness in the vehicle width direction gradually decreases toward the other side.

[0014] The symbols in parentheses are used in the drawings and in the description of the invention to be described later. Indicates the corresponding element or item. [Effects of the Invention]

[0015] According to the automobile door structure of the present invention, the upper end of the division bar seal portion is formed by connecting and integrating the upper end of the sealing material and the upper end of the vertical side glass run at a position above the upper end of the division bar, making the upper portion of the division bar easy to handle. Furthermore, when fixing the upper end seal portion of the division bar to the upper edge glass run that is attached to the window frame and extends in the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle, it is only necessary to insert the upper end seal portion of the division bar into the downward opening recess formed in the upper edge glass run, so fixing is simple and there is no need to use connecting fittings (metal connecting parts) or engaging parts with complex shapes and structures as shown in conventional examples. Furthermore, there is no need for processing work such as cutting out the bottom of the upper edge glass run, and the extruded upper edge glass run can be used as is. As a result, the upper end seal part of the division bar is sandwiched between the upper edge glass run, so there is no particular deterioration in the sealing function at the upper end of the division bar.

[0016] In addition, according to the present invention, the upper edge glass run extends further forward of the vehicle than the upper end of the division bar, and the upper end of the fixed glass is fixed simply by inserting it into the downward opening recess of the upper edge glass run, so the structure is simple. In addition, the upper edge glass run can be passed directly from the other side of the vehicle to the one side of the vehicle at the upper end of the division bar with the same cross-sectional shape, which gives a good appearance.

[0017] Furthermore, according to the present invention, the upper edge glass run is a so-called hidden type glass run that is assembled to the glass run mounting plate portion from the outside of the vehicle, and since the fixing structure of the upper part of the division bar is usually complicated, the present invention, which solves this problem, is particularly effective.

[0018] Furthermore, according to the present invention, the upper portion of the division bar upper end seal portion is thinner in the vehicle width direction than the lower portion, which makes it easier to insert the upper portion of the division bar upper end seal portion into the downward opening recess of the upper edge glass run, improving assembly work.

[0019] Furthermore, according to the present invention, the fixed glass is securely fixed in place at the upper part of the division bar upper end seal portion by the elastic contact between the one-side interior seal lip and the one-side exterior seal lip, and the retractable glass is supported in a stable state by the sliding contact between the other-side interior seal lip and the other-side exterior seal lip.

[0020] Furthermore, according to the present invention, the one-side interior seal lip and one-side exterior seal lip are formed so that their cross-sectional shapes gradually become thinner in the vehicle width direction toward one side, thereby reducing the difference in level with the fixed glass and further improving sealing performance. In addition, the other-side interior seal lip and the other-side exterior seal lip are also formed so that their thickness in the vehicle width direction gradually decreases toward the other side, thereby reducing the step with the lift-up glass and further improving sealing performance.

[0022] An automobile door structure according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 9. Note that the same parts as those shown in the conventional example are given the same reference numerals.

[0023] As shown in Figures 1 and 9, the automobile door structure of an embodiment of the present invention is configured such that, on the front door 101 of an automobile 100, a division bar 150 is provided with an upper end fixed to a window frame 104 that forms a window opening in the area above the belt line BL, and the division bar 150 divides the window opening into one side and the other, with fixed glass 200 arranged on one side of the division bar 150 and retractable glass 300 arranged on the other side of the division bar 150, and the window frame 104 is fitted with a so-called hidden type upper edge glass run 20 that is attached along the outer side of the window frame 104 and extends in the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle so as to cover and hide part of the window frame 104 from the outside of the vehicle.

[0024] As shown in Figure 2, the upper edge glass run 20 is an extrusion molded product that is attached from the outside of the vehicle to a glass run mounting plate 112 that is part of the window frame 104 and extends toward the outside of the vehicle, and has an upper wall 21 that is positioned above the glass run mounting plate 112 and extends in the interior and exterior directions of the vehicle, a lower wall 22 that is positioned below the glass run mounting plate 112 and extends in the interior and exterior directions of the vehicle, and an outer wall 23 that extends in the vertical direction to connect the exterior end of the upper wall 21 and the exterior end of the lower wall 22. The upper wall 21, lower wall 22, and outer wall 23 are all made of highly rigid hard materials, and the upper edge glass run 20 is assembled to the glass run mounting plate 112 by pushing the inward opening recess 20b formed by these walls from the outside of the vehicle to the inside of the vehicle. The glass run mounting plate 112 is a flange portion formed by overlapping an upper protruding plate 106c of the outer panel 106 and an upper protruding plate 105c of the inner panel 105 that constitute the front door 101. A molding 28 is provided on the exterior side of the exterior wall 23 to cover the exterior wall 23 from the exterior side of the vehicle.

[0025] A lower engaging projection 21a is provided on the lower surface of the upper wall 21 of the upper edge glass run 20, and a door seal lip 21b is provided on the lower surface of the vehicle interior end of the upper end 21. When the upper edge glass run 20 is assembled, the lower engaging projection 21a and the door seal lip 21b elastically contact the upper surface of the glass run mounting plate 112, preventing the upper edge glass run 20 from easily coming off the glass run mounting plate 112. In addition, a body seal lip 21c extending upward is provided on the upper surface of the upper wall 21 of the upper edge glass run 20, and when the front door 101 is closed, the body seal lip 21c elastically contacts the body BD of the automobile 100 to perform a sealing function.

[0026] The upper edge glass run 20 has an exterior side wall 27 extending downward from the exterior side end of the lower wall 22, and an interior side wall 26 extending downward from the interior side end of the lower wall 22, and the downward opening recess 20a is formed by the lower wall 22, the exterior side wall 27, and the interior side wall 26. An outer seal lip 27a extending upward toward the interior side of the vehicle is provided at the lower end of the exterior side wall 27, and an inner seal lip 26a extending upward toward the exterior side of the vehicle is provided below the interior side wall 26. Furthermore, a molding lip 26b extending upward toward the interior side of the vehicle is provided at the lower end of the interior side wall 26, and when assembling the upper edge glass run 20, the locking lip 26b and a groove formed on the interior side of the interior side wall 26 are assembled to a flange portion formed by overlapping a lower protruding plate 106d of the outer panel 106 and a lower protruding plate 105d of the inner panel 105 that constitute the front door 101. Furthermore, an upper seal lip 22a extending from the interior side to the exterior side of the vehicle is provided on the lower surface of the lower wall 22.

[0027] 2, when the retractable glass 300 is guided into the downward-opening recess 20a, the outer seal lip 27a comes into sliding contact with the exterior surface of the retractable glass 300, and the inner seal lip 26a comes into sliding contact with the interior surface of the retractable glass 300, thereby supporting the retractable glass 300. The upper end of the retractable glass 300 also comes into elastic contact with the upper seal lip 22a.

[0028] The upper glass run 20 extends beyond the upper end of the division bar 150 to one side of the vehicle, and as shown in Fig. 4, the upper end of the fixed glass 200 is supported by being inserted into the downward-opening recess 20a of the upper glass run 200. At this time, the outer seal lip 27a elastically contacts the exterior surface of the fixed glass 200, and the inner seal lip 26a elastically contacts the interior surface of the fixed glass 200, thereby supporting the upper end of the fixed glass 200. The upper end of the fixed glass 200 also elastically contacts the upper seal lip 22a.

[0029] The outer seal lip 27a, inner seal lip 26a, and upper seal lip 22a are not particularly limited as long as they are made of a rubber-like elastic material, but if they are rubber, EPDM solid rubber is preferred, and if they are thermoplastic resin, TPO (olefin-based thermoplastic resin) is preferred.

[0030] 2 and 4, a door outer weatherstrip 10 is provided on the interior side of the upper edge glass run 20, which elastically contacts the body BD when the front door 101 is closed. The door outer weatherstrip 10 is attached to the upper surface of the inner panel 105, which extends from the glass run mounting plate 112 toward the interior side of the vehicle, via clips and / or double-sided tape (not shown).

[0031] 1, the division bar 150 extends in the vertical direction, and as shown in Fig. 5, it is made up of a one-side interior panel 155 and an other-side interior panel 153 that extend longitudinally from the interior side of the vehicle of a bottom wall 151 located in the center, and a one-side exterior panel 154 and an other-side exterior panel 152 that extend longitudinally from the exterior side of the vehicle of the bottom wall 151, and has a generally H-shaped cross section. Locking portions 152a, 153a, 154a, 155a that are bent inwardly toward each other are formed at the respective ends of the other-side exterior panel 152, other-side interior panel 153, one-side exterior panel 154, and one-side interior panel 155.

[0032] On one side of the division bar 150, a gasket (sealing material) 50 attached to the periphery of the fixed glass 200 is fitted into one side groove surrounded by the bottom wall 151, the one side outer panel 154, and the one side inner panel 155, and on the other side of the division bar 150, a vertical side glass run 30 that slides against the liftable glass 300 is fitted into the other side groove surrounded by the bottom wall 151, the other side outer panel 152, and the other side inner panel 153.

[0033] The gasket 50 is made of a rubber-like elastic material and comprises an exterior side wall 51, an interior side wall 52, and a bottom wall 53 connecting both side walls 51, 52, with the fixed glass 200 fixed inside. A locking portion 154a of one exterior panel 154 of the division bar 150 is locked to the exterior side of the exterior side wall 51, and a locking portion 155a of one interior panel 155 of the division bar 150 is locked to the interior side of the interior side wall 52.

[0034] The vertical glass run 30 is made of a rubber-like elastic material and comprises an exterior side wall 31, an interior side wall 32, and a bottom wall 33 connecting both side walls 31, 32, and guides the retractable glass 300 inward. A locking portion 152a of the other-side exterior panel 152 of the division bar 150 is locked to the exterior side of the exterior side wall 31, and a locking portion 153a of the other-side interior panel 153 of the division bar 150 is locked to the interior side of the interior side wall 32. An exterior seal lip 31a extending toward the interior of the vehicle is provided at the end of the exterior side wall 31, and an interior seal lip 32a extending toward the exterior of the vehicle is provided at the end of the interior side wall 32, and these exterior seal lip 31a and interior seal lip 32a slide against the exterior and interior sides of the retractable glass 300, respectively.

[0035] The division bar 150 is made of metal or hard resin, and as shown in FIG. 1, a fixing plate KI that is fixed to the front door 101 is attached below the belt line BL.

[0036] 6, in the region above the upper end of the division bar 150, the gasket 50 and the vertical side glass runs 30 extend upward so as to protrude from the division bar 150, and the upper end of the gasket 50 and the upper end of the vertical side glass runs 30 are connected and integrated by molding, forming the division bar upper end seal portion 80 made of a rubber-like elastic material. In FIG. 6, the black side of the triangle mark is shown as the molded portion, and the white side is shown as the extrusion-molded portion.

[0037] As shown in FIG. 6, an upper portion 82 of the division bar upper end seal portion 80 is gradually thinner in thickness in the vehicle width direction than a lower portion 81 thereof. 8, the upper portion 82 of the division bar upper end seal portion 80 has a generally H-shaped cross section and is formed with a main body 82a that is disposed between the other end of the fixed glass 200 and one end of the retractable glass 300. An interior-side seal lip 82b that elastically contacts the interior surface of the fixed glass 200 is formed on one interior side of the main body 82a, and an exterior-side seal lip 82c that elastically contacts the exterior surface of the fixed glass 200 is formed on one exterior side of the main body 82a. An interior-side seal lip 82d that slidingly contacts the interior surface of the retractable glass 300 is formed on the other interior side of the main body 82a, and an exterior-side seal lip 82e that slidingly contacts the exterior surface of the retractable glass 300 is formed on the other exterior side of the main body 82a.

[0038] The one-side interior seal lip 82b and the one-side exterior seal lip 82c are formed so that their cross-sectional shapes gradually become thinner in the vehicle width direction toward one side, so that the step between them and the fixed glass 200 gradually becomes smaller and there is no step at the tip. The other-side interior seal lip 82d and the other-side exterior seal lip 82e are formed so that their cross-sectional shapes gradually become thinner in the vehicle width direction as they go to the other side, so that the step between them and the lift-up glass 300 gradually becomes smaller and there is no step at the tip.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 3, the division bar upper end seal portion 80 is inserted into and fixed in a downwardly opening recess 20a formed in the upper edge glass run 20. At this time, the outer seal lip 27a elastically contacts the outer surface of the upper portion 82 of the division bar upper end seal portion 80, which is thinner than the lower portion 81, and the inner seal lip 26a elastically contacts the inner surface of the upper portion 82, thereby supporting the division bar upper end seal portion 80. The upper end of the division bar upper end seal portion 80 is also supported in elastic contact with the upper seal lip 22a. The gasket 50, the vertical side glass run 30, and the division bar upper end seal portion 80 are not particularly limited as long as they are made of a rubber-like elastic material, but if rubber, EPDM solid rubber is preferred, and if thermoplastic resin, TPO (olefin-based thermoplastic resin) is preferred.

[0040] According to the automobile door structure configured in this manner, the upper end of the gasket 50 and the upper end of the vertical side glass run 30 are connected and integrated to form the division bar upper end seal portion 80 at a position above the upper end of the division bar 150, making the upper portion of the division bar 150 easy to handle. Furthermore, when fixing the division bar upper end seal portion 80 to the upper edge glass run 20 that is attached to the window frame 104 and extends in the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle, it is only necessary to insert the division bar upper end seal portion 80 into the downward opening recess 20a formed in the upper edge glass run 20, making fixing easy. Furthermore, there is no need for processing work such as partially cutting out the lower part of the upper edge glass run 20, and the extruded upper edge glass run 20 can be used as is. As a result, the division bar upper end seal part 80 is supported by the upper edge glass run 20, so there is no particular reduction in the sealing function at the upper end part 80 of the division bar.

[0041] In this embodiment, the automobile door structure has been described in which the upper edge glass run 20 is a so-called hidden type glass run that is assembled to the glass run mounting plate 112 from outside the vehicle, but it is also applicable to a glass run that is fitted into the window frame 104 from below and has a U-shaped cross section similar to the vertical edge glass run 30 (not shown). However, since the fixing structure of the upper part of the division bar is usually complicated, it is particularly effective to solve this problem by applying it to a hidden type glass run as in this embodiment. In addition, in this embodiment, the molding 28 and the upper edge glass lass 20 are illustrated and described as being extruded separately and then assembled into a single unit, but the molding 28 and the upper edge glass lass 20 may also be extruded as a single unit rather than as separate units (not shown).

[0042] Although the structure of the front door 101 provided with the division bar 150 has been described, it is also applicable to the rear door 102 provided with a division bar. [Explanation of symbols]
