Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to an attachment structure between a door sash molding and a glass run of an automobile.

Background Art

[0002] For example, as disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 3, there are automobiles that employ a sash door provided with a roll sash formed by roll-forming a plate material. Also, for example, as disclosed in Patent Document 4, there are automobiles that employ a press door in which a door outer panel integrally formed with a sash portion by press-forming a plate material and a door inner panel integrally formed by press-forming are joined together.

[0003] The roll sashes disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 3 are formed to be narrow, while the sash portions of the press doors disclosed in Patent Document 4 are formed to be wider than the roll sashes. In the case of the roll sashes disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 3, the exterior design of the door is enhanced by attaching a door sash molding to the outside of the roll sash.

[0004] Also, separately from Patent Documents 1 to 3, a hidden sash (roll sash) is known (not shown) in which the exterior design of the door is enhanced by covering the sash portion from the outside of the vehicle with a glass run.

Summary of the Invention

[0006] By the way, when attempting to attach a door sash molding to the outside of a vehicle in order to enhance the appearance of a pressed door, as disclosed in Patent Document 4, the sash portion is formed wider than that of a sash door equipped with a roll sash. As a result, the door sash molding also becomes wider, and it is difficult to say that the appearance of the door is superior compared to a narrow roll sash.

[0007] Therefore, there is a demand to enhance the appearance of the press door by narrowing the width of the sash portion of the press door and attaching the door sash molding to the outside of the vehicle, thereby bringing it closer to the narrow shape of a sash door with a roll sash and door sash molding attached.

[0008] This disclosure is made in view of the above points, and its purpose is to enhance the appearance design of press doors. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] To achieve the above objective, one aspect of this disclosure may be based on a mounting structure for a door sash molding and a glass run to an automobile door sash formed by joining a door outer panel and a door inner panel. The exterior side of the door sash is provided with a flat portion extending in the vertical direction of the vehicle and in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and the upper and lower parts of the flat portion are provided with a first engaging portion and a second engaging portion, respectively. The door sash molding is provided with a flat plate portion facing the flat portion from the exterior side, a first engaging portion that fits into the first engaging portion at the upper part of the flat plate portion, and a second engaging portion that fits into the second engaging portion at the lower part of the flat plate portion.

[0010] The glass run is provided with a bottom wall positioned between the door glass and the door sash, an outer side wall extending downward from the outer end of the bottom wall, and an inner side wall extending downward from the inner end of the bottom wall.

[0011] The door sash molding has a third fitting portion that extends downward from below the second fitting portion, and the third fitting portion is positioned to be in contact with the outer surface of the outer side wall of the glass run.

[0012] With this configuration, an automotive door sash is formed by joining a press-formed outer door panel and a press-formed inner door panel, thus obtaining a so-called press-formed door.

[0013] Furthermore, by fitting the first fitting portion of the door sash molding to the first engaging portion of the door sash, and the second fitting portion of the door sash molding to the second engaging portion of the door sash, the door sash molding is firmly attached to the door sash. A glass run is also attached to the door sash. In addition, a third fitting portion is provided below the second fitting portion of the door sash molding, and this third fitting portion is positioned to contact the outer surface of the outer side wall of the glass run. As a result, the outer side wall of the glass run can be supported by the third fitting portion of the door sash molding, which is firmly attached to the door sash. This prevents the glass run from moving outwards due to the narrower width (similar to the width of a roll-formed door sash) of the press-formed door sash and the door sash molding attached to it. At the same time, the width of the door sash molding appears narrower when viewed from the outside of the vehicle. This enhances the appearance of the press-formed door.

[0014] An external projection may be provided that protrudes outward from the external surface of the upper end of the external side wall of the glass run. In this case, an internal extension surface located on the inside of the vehicle can be formed between the second fitting portion and the third fitting portion on the internal surface of the door sash molding, and the external projection can be positioned to contact the internal extension surface. This prevents the glass run from moving downward by the door sash molding.

[0015] An exterior cover lip may be provided that extends upward from the exterior surface of the lower end of the exterior side wall of the glass run. In this case, an exterior extension surface that is inclined to be located on the interior side can be formed between the second fitting portion and the third fitting portion on the exterior surface of the door sash molding, and the exterior cover lip can be positioned to be in contact with the exterior extension surface. This allows the portion of the door sash molding below the second fitting portion to be covered by the exterior cover lip, making the width of the door sash molding appear narrower. In addition, the difference in height between the outer surface of the flat portion of the door sash molding and the exterior cover lip of the glass run can be minimized.

[0016] The third fitting portion does not need to be provided in a predetermined range near the front-rear end of the door sash molding. In other words, the area near the front-rear end of the door sash molding is the part that overlaps with the pillar-side door panel, and by not providing the third fitting portion in this overlapping area with the pillar-side door panel, interference between the door sash molding and the pillar-side door panel can be prevented.

[0017] Decorative tape may be provided on at least the exterior surface of the flat portion of the door sash molding. With this configuration, the portion visible from the outside of the vehicle can be decorated with decorative tape, further enhancing its appearance. [Effects of the Invention]

[0018] As described above, in the structure according to the present disclosure, the first fitting portion and the second fitting portion of the door sash molding are respectively fitted to the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion of the door sash, and a third fitting portion that extends downward below the second fitting portion of the door sash molding is provided, and this third fitting portion is arranged so as to contact the outer side surface of the outer side wall of the glass run. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the glass run from moving to the outside of the vehicle by the press-formed door sash having a narrower width (the same width as the roll-formed door sash) than before and the door sash molding attached thereto. At the same time, since the width of the door sash molding appears narrow when viewed from the outside of the vehicle, the appearance design of the press door can be enhanced.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0020] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings. Note that the following description of the preferred embodiments is merely illustrative in nature and is not intended to limit the present invention, its applications, or its uses.

[0021] Figure 1 is a left side view of an automobile 100 to which the mounting structure A of the door sash molding and glass run according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied. This automobile 100 is a passenger car. The side of the automobile 100 is provided with a front door 110 and a rear door 120. The front door 110 and the rear door 120 open and close, respectively, an opening for getting in and out of the vehicle body, which is formed on the side of the vehicle body (not shown).

[0022] The automobile 100 may be a sedan-type automobile as shown in Figure 1, or it may be a hatchback-type automobile, a minivan-type automobile, or a coupe-type automobile, although these are not shown in the figure. Its shape is not particularly limited. Furthermore, the present invention can also be applied to automobiles that do not have a rear door 120. In the following description, the case in which the present invention is applied to a front door 110 located on the left side of the automobile 100 will be described, but the present invention can also be applied to a rear door 120 located on the left side, and also to a front door or rear door located on the right side, although these are not shown in the figure. In this description of the embodiment, the front side of the automobile 100 will be simply referred to as the front, and the rear side of the automobile 100 will be simply referred to as the rear. The width direction of the automobile 100 is the left-right direction.

[0023] The front door 110 comprises a door body 111 that constitutes the lower part of the front door 110, and a door sash (automotive door sash) 112 integrally provided on the upper part of the door body 111. The door sash 112 is a member that holds the peripheral edge of the door glass G.

[0024] As shown in Figure 2, the door sash 112 is formed by joining a press-formed door outer panel 113 and a press-formed door inner panel 114. Since the front door 110 has a door sash 112 formed by joining a press-formed door outer panel 113 and a press-formed door inner panel 114, the front door 110 according to this embodiment is a press-formed door.

[0025] The front door 110 is equipped with a door sash molding 10 and a glass run 20. The door sash molding 10 and the glass run 20 are designed to be attached to the door sash 112. The structure for attaching the door sash molding 10 and the glass run 20 to the door sash 112 is known as the mounting structure A for the door sash molding 10 and the glass run 20.

[0026] The interior side of the door sash 112 is composed of a door inner panel 114. An upper plate portion 114a is formed on the upper part of the door inner panel 114, extending upward and in the front-rear direction. Below the upper plate portion 114a of the door inner panel 114, a mounting plate portion 114b is formed, extending inward. In the middle of the mounting plate portion 114b in the vehicle width direction, an insertion hole 114d is formed so as to penetrate vertically, into which a fixing pin 34 is inserted. On the interior side of the mounting plate portion 114b of the door inner panel 114, a curved portion 114c is formed, which is curved to bulge inward.

[0027] The exterior side of the door sash 112 is formed by the door outer panel 113. The door outer panel 113 is provided with a flat portion 113a that extends both vertically and longitudinally. The flat portion 113a extends along the upper plate portion 114a of the door inner panel 114.

[0028] A first engaging portion 113b for attaching the upper part of the door sash molding 10 is provided on the upper part of the flat portion 113a of the door outer panel 113. A second engaging portion 113c for attaching the lower part of the door sash molding 10 is provided on the lower part of the flat portion 113a of the door outer panel 113. The interior side of the first engaging portion 113b of the door outer panel 113 is bent downward and is formed as a hemmed plate portion 113d that overlaps the interior side surface of the upper plate portion 114a of the door inner panel 114. The upper plate portion 114a of the door inner panel 114 is sandwiched in the interior-exterior direction by the flat portion 113a and the hemmed plate portion 113d of the door outer panel 113, thereby joining the door outer panel 113 and the door inner panel 114.

[0029] The door sash molding 10 is made from a material that is harder than the glass run 20, such as a rigid resin material. The rigid resin material is not particularly limited, but can be a resin material containing reinforcing materials, such as talc-filled PP (polypropylene) or glass fiber-filled PA (polyamide). These are some examples. The door sash molding 10 is provided with a flat plate portion 11 that faces the flat portion 113a of the door outer panel 113 from the outside of the vehicle. The flat plate portion 11 extends in the vertical direction as well as the front-to-back direction, similar to the flat portion 113a of the door outer panel 113.

[0030] The door sash molding 10 is provided with a first fitting portion 12 that fits onto the first engaging portion 113b of the door outer panel 113 at the upper part of the flat plate portion 11. The first fitting portion 12 is formed to cover the first engaging portion 113b of the door outer panel 113 from above and wrap around to the interior side of the first engaging portion 113b. By bringing the downward-facing opening recess of the first fitting portion 12 of the door sash molding 10 into contact with the first engaging portion 113b of the door outer panel 113, the first fitting portion 12 can be fitted onto the first engaging portion 113b of the door outer panel 113.

[0031] The door sash molding 10 is provided with a second fitting portion 13 at the lower part of the flat plate portion 11 that fits onto the second engagement portion 113c of the door outer panel 113. The second fitting portion 13 is formed to cover the second engagement portion 113c of the door outer panel 113 from below and wrap around to the interior side of the second engagement portion 113c. By bringing the upward-facing opening recess of the second fitting portion 13 of the door sash molding 10 into contact with the second engagement portion 113c of the door outer panel 113, the second fitting portion 13 can be fitted onto the second engagement portion 113c of the door outer panel 113. As a result, the door sash molding 10 can be firmly fixed to the exterior side of the door outer panel 113 of the door sash 112.

[0032] The glass run 20 is made of a rubber-like elastic material such as a thermoplastic elastomer or rubber, and is interposed between the door glass G and the door sash 112 to guide the door glass G and ensure a seal between the door glass G and the door sash 112. Specifically, the glass run 20 is provided with a bottom wall 21 that is positioned between the door glass G and the door sash 112. The bottom wall 21 extends along the mounting plate portion 114b of the door inner panel 114. The upper surface of the bottom wall 21 is positioned to be in contact with the outer side of the lower surface of the mounting plate portion 114b of the door inner panel 114. Therefore, when the door glass G is closed, the bottom wall 21 of the glass run 20 is sandwiched in the thickness direction between the upper end of the closed door glass G and the lower surface of the mounting plate portion 114b of the door inner panel 114.

[0033] The glass run 20 is provided with an exterior side wall 22 that extends downward from the exterior end of the bottom wall 21. The exterior side wall 22 extends in the front-rear direction and is located on the interior side of the door outer panel 113 than the second engagement portion 113c.

[0034] Here, the procedure for attaching the door sash molding 10 to the door outer panel 113 is the same as the procedure described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 1-25918, in which the first fitting portion 12 of the door sash molding 10 is first fitted to the first engaging portion 113b of the door outer panel 113, and then the second fitting portion 13 of the door sash molding 10 is subsequently fitted to the second engaging portion 113c of the door outer panel 113. Alternatively, the procedure is the same as the procedure described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 57-55221, in which the second fitting portion 13 of the door sash molding 10 is first fitted to the second engaging portion 113c of the door outer panel 113, and then the first fitting portion 12 of the door sash molding 10 is subsequently fitted to the first engaging portion 113b of the door outer panel 113.

[0035] Furthermore, the door sash molding 10 may be attached to the door outer panel 113 by sliding it in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, using a procedure similar to that described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2019-77440.

[0036] The glass run 20 is provided with an exterior sealing lip 23 that extends from the exterior side wall 22 to the interior side of the vehicle. The exterior sealing lip 23 is the part that slides against the exterior surface of the door glass G, and the sealing performance can be improved by the exterior sealing lip 23 sliding against the exterior surface of the door glass G. The exterior sealing lip 23 is curved or inclined so that it is positioned higher as it moves towards the interior side of the vehicle.

[0037] The glass run 20 is provided with an interior side wall 24 that extends downward from the interior end of the bottom wall 21. The interior side wall 24 extends in the front-rear direction and is located on the exterior side of the door inner panel 114 beyond the insertion hole 114d. The lower part of the interior side wall 24 extends below the lower part of the exterior side wall 22. An interior cover lip 24a is provided on the lower part of the interior side wall 24, which is formed to cover the lower part of the curved portion 114c of the door inner panel 114 from the interior side.

[0038] The glass run 20 is provided with an interior sealing lip 25 that extends from the interior side wall 24 to the exterior side of the vehicle. The interior sealing lip 25 is the part that slides against the interior surface of the door glass G, and the sealing performance can be improved by the interior sealing lip 25 sliding against the interior surface of the door glass G. The interior sealing lip 25 is curved or inclined so that it is positioned higher as it moves towards the exterior side of the vehicle.

[0039] The door sash molding 10 has a third fitting portion 14 that extends downward from below the second fitting portion 13. The third fitting portion 14 is positioned to be in contact with the outer surface of the outer side wall 22 of the glass run 20. That is, the third fitting portion 14 constitutes the lower part of the door sash molding 10. An inner extension surface is formed between the second fitting portion 13 and the third fitting portion 14 on the inner side surface of the door sash molding 10. The inner extension surface may be an inner inclined surface 10a (shown in Figure 2) that slopes downward so as it moves towards the interior of the vehicle, or an inner inclined surface (not shown) that slopes upward so as it moves towards the interior of the vehicle, or an inner extension surface without slope (not shown).

[0040] Furthermore, an external extension surface is formed between the second fitting portion 13 and the third fitting portion 14 on the external side surface of the door sash molding 10. The external extension surface may be an external inclined surface 10b (shown in Figure 2) that slopes downwards so as it moves inward, an external inclined surface (not shown) that slopes upwards so as it moves inward, or an external extension surface without any inclination (not shown). By forming an internal inclined surface 10a and an external inclined surface 10b between the second fitting portion 13 and the third fitting portion 14, it becomes possible to position the third fitting portion 14 further inward than the flat plate portion 11 and the second fitting portion 13.

[0041] An exterior projection 22a is provided on the exterior side wall 22 of the glass run 20. The exterior projection 22a protrudes outward from the exterior side surface at the upper end of the exterior side wall 22. The exterior projection 22a contacts the interior inclined surface 10a of the door sash molding 10. Since the interior inclined surface 10a is inclined so that it is located further inward towards the bottom, the exterior projection 22a that is in contact with the interior inclined surface 10a has difficulty moving downward, and the exterior side wall 22 of the glass run 20 can be held in a predetermined position.

[0042] An exterior cover lip 26 is provided at the lower end of the exterior side wall 22 of the glass run 20. The exterior cover lip 26 extends upward from the exterior side surface of the lower end of the exterior side wall 22, and the upper end of the exterior cover lip 26 is in contact with the exterior inclined surface 10b of the door sash molding 10.

[0043] Furthermore, if the decorative tape 15 described later is to be used, contact may be made via the decorative tape 15. In other words, the upper end of the exterior cover lip 26 will be located below the second fitting portion 13 of the door sash molding 10. As a result, the exterior surface of the third fitting portion 14 of the door sash molding 10 will be covered by the exterior cover lip 26 and will no longer be visible.

[0044] Furthermore, by adjusting the relationship between the difference in step in the vehicle width direction between the flat portion 11 of the door sash molding 10 and the third fitting portion 14, and the thickness of the outer cover lip 26 of the glass run 20, the difference in step between the outer surface of the flat portion 11 of the door sash molding 10 and the outer cover lip 26 of the glass run 20 can be minimized.

[0045] Furthermore, with the door sash molding 10 and glass run 20 attached to the door sash 112, the third fitting portion 14 of the door sash molding 10 is inserted into an upward-opening groove formed between the outer side wall 22 and the outer cover lip 26 of the glass run 20. In this state, the third fitting portion 14 of the door sash molding 10, which is firmly attached to the door outer panel 113 of the door sash 112, is made of a harder resin material than the glass run 20, so the outer side wall 22 of the glass run 20 is held in contact with the third fitting portion 14 of the door sash molding 10. At the same time, the outer cover lip 26 of the glass run 20 is also positioned in the in-vehicle and out-of-vehicle directions.

[0046] Figure 3 is a perspective view from the outside of the vehicle of the vicinity of the rear end of the door sash 112 of the front door 110. As shown in this figure, the rear and lower side of the door sash 112 is composed of a pillar-side door panel 116 that extends in the vertical and longitudinal directions (a garnish may be attached to the exterior surface of the pillar-side door panel 116). The position of the pillar-side door panel 116 in the interior-exterior direction is almost the same as the position of the flat plate portion 11 of the door sash molding 10 in the interior-exterior direction. On the other hand, the third fitting portion 14 of the door sash molding 10 is located on the interior side of the vehicle than the flat plate portion 11. For this reason, if the third fitting portion 14 of the door sash molding 10 is formed continuously to the vicinity of the rear end of the door sash 112, the third fitting portion 14 will interfere with the pillar-side door panel 116.

[0047] In this embodiment, the third fitting portion 14 is not provided in a predetermined range near the rear end of the door sash molding 10. That is, the third fitting portion 14 is cut off in a predetermined range from the end cap 16 provided at the rear end of the door sash molding 10 to where the pillar-side door panel 116 disappears. As shown in Figure 4, the upper end of the third fitting portion 14 is integrated with the interior side surface of the second fitting portion 13 of the door sash molding 10, so if the third fitting portion 14 is cut off at its upper end, the cut surface 14a is not visible from the outside of the vehicle and does not affect the appearance.

[0048] Although a detailed explanation will be omitted, the glass run 20 consists of an extruded portion up to just before the rear end of the door sash 112, and beyond that, it consists of a molded portion that bends downward and extends downward along the pillar-side door panel 116. Here, L is the boundary line between the extruded portion and the molded portion.

[0049] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 2, decorative tape 15 is provided on the exterior surface of at least the flat plate portion 11 of the door sash molding 10. The decorative tape 15 can be, for example, a tape with a metal plating layer, a resin material, a colored tape, etc., and its color, tone, and material are not particularly limited. In this embodiment, the decorative tape 15 is provided over the entire exterior surface of the flat plate portion 11, and therefore the entire exterior surface of the flat plate portion 11 is decorated by the decorative tape 15. Note that the decorative tape 15 may be provided as needed and may be omitted.

[0050] The width (vertical dimension) of the flat portion 11 of the door sash molding 10 is, for example, about 20 mm. The flat portion 11 decorated with decorative tape 15 is a decorative part, and the narrower width of the decorative part makes the door sash 112 appear thinner.

[0051] The upper part of the decorative tape 15 reaches the upper part of the first fitting portion 12 of the door sash molding 10, and the upper part of the first fitting portion 12 is also covered by the decorative tape 15. Furthermore, the lower part of the decorative tape 15 reaches the lower part of the second fitting portion 13 of the door sash molding 10, and the lower part of the second fitting portion 13 is also covered by the decorative tape 15. By covering the upper part of the first fitting portion 12 and the lower part of the second fitting portion 13 with the decorative tape 15 in this way, the appearance is further improved. Note that the decorative tape 15 may also be provided so as to cover only the exterior side of the flat plate portion 11 of the door sash molding 10.

[0052] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 2, this embodiment is provided with a weatherstrip 30 for sealing the space between the front door 110 and the vehicle body. The weatherstrip 30 has a fixing plate portion 31 which is fixed to the mounting plate portion 114b of the door inner panel 114 by fixing pins 34. In addition, the weatherstrip 30 also has a hollow sealing portion 32 and an upper sealing lip portion 33, and high sealing performance is obtained by the elastic contact of the hollow sealing portion 32 and the upper sealing lip portion 33 with the vehicle body.

[0053] (Effects of the embodiment) As described above, in this embodiment, the automobile door sash 112 is constructed by joining a press-formed door outer panel 113 and a press-formed door inner panel 114, so that the front door 110 becomes a press-formed door. A glass run 20 is attached to the door sash 112 of the front door 110 obtained in this way, and the exterior sealing lip 23 of the glass run 10 attached to the door sash 112 slides against the exterior surface of the door glass G, and the interior sealing lip 25 slides against the interior surface of the door glass G.

[0054] Furthermore, according to the mounting structure A for the door sash molding 10 and the glass run 20, the door sash molding 10 is firmly attached to the door sash 112 by fitting the first fitting portion 12 of the door sash molding 10 to the first engaging portion 113b and fitting the second fitting portion 13 of the door sash molding 10 to the second engaging portion 113c. A third fitting portion 14 is provided below the second fitting portion 13 of the door sash molding 10, and this third fitting portion 14 is positioned to be in contact with the outer surface of the outer side wall 22 of the glass run 20, so that the width of the door sash molding 10 appears narrower when viewed from the outside of the vehicle. This enhances the appearance of the front door 110.
