Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a door weather strip that prevents rainwater from coming in a vehicle compartment side of a door structure assembled with the upper door panel and the bottom door panel. SOLUTION: A door is divided into an upper part door panel 1 and a bottom door panel 2, and has a door structure whose bottom end part of the upper part door panel 1 is inserted and assembled and touched into the space formed to the upper end of the bottom door panel 2 near around a belt line. A weather strip 10 is consecutively fixed at the periphery of the upper door panel 1 and the bottom door panel 2, and elastically touches at the periphery of the aperture of the body when the door is closed and absorbs difference in a stagger P which is generated by the presence of the joint around the upper door panel 1 and the bottom door panel 2, and a model mold part 20 spreading to the internal space is molded in one piece to guide the water invading a vehicle compartment to the space.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a door weather strip for sealing a gap between a door panel and a vehicle body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, a door structure is divided into an upper door panel 1 and a lower door panel 2, and an upper door panel 1 and a lower door panel 2 near a belt line.
What can be assembled is considered. According to such a door structure, the upper door panel 1 and the lower door panel 2 can be modularized, and there is an advantage that space can be saved and mass production can be achieved.

[0003]

However, in the above-described door structure, a step P corresponding to the thickness of the panel plate occurs at the joint between the upper door panel 1 and the lower door panel 2 to be assembled. Side door panel 2
When the door weather strip 10 is continuously attached to the periphery of the door, the door weather strip 10 is deformed on the front side and the rear side of the door as shown in FIG.

[0004] As a result, there is a problem that rainwater or car wash water is transmitted from outside the vehicle and enters the vehicle from the deformed portion. In particular, when the upper door panel 1 and the lower door panel 2 are assembled, when a large gap is formed in addition to the step P at the seam due to a variation in assembling, the penetration of rainwater or the like into the vehicle interior increases.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a door weatherstrip for preventing rainwater or the like from entering the inside of a vehicle having a door structure in which an upper door panel and a lower door panel are assembled.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, a door weatherstrip according to the first aspect of the present invention is divided into an upper door panel (1) and a lower door panel (2), and is provided near a belt line. The upper door panel (1) and the lower door panel (2) of a door structure in which the lower end of the upper door panel (1) is inserted and assembled into a space formed at the upper end of the lower door panel (2). A door weather strip (10) which is attached continuously to the periphery of the vehicle body and which elastically contacts the periphery of the opening of the vehicle body when the door is closed, near the seam between the upper door panel (1) and the lower door panel (2); A molded part (20) extending toward the interior of the space so as to absorb the step (P) caused by the presence and guide the water (W) entering the interior of the vehicle into the interior of the interior of the vehicle.

The door weatherstrip according to the second aspect is characterized in that a molded part (20) is integrally formed with a part (25) to be locked to the upper end part.

The symbols in the parentheses correspond to the symbols described in the drawings and the embodiments of the invention described later.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, a molded part is integrally formed with a vertically continuous door weather strip near a joint between an upper door panel and a lower door panel of a vertically divided door structure. , Which absorbs the steps caused by the joints and forcibly guides rainwater and car wash water entering the inside of the vehicle into the space formed at the upper end of the lower door panel, so that rainwater from the outside of the vehicle Is prevented from leaking into the vehicle interior. Therefore, up and down 2
In a divided door structure, a door weather strip having excellent sealing properties is provided.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the molded portion of the door weather strip is locked to the upper end of the lower door panel via the locking portion, the positioning of the door weather strip is reliably performed. Since the position of the molded part is also stabilized, the water transmitted to the molded part is surely guided into the space.

[0011]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The same parts as those of the conventional example are denoted by the same reference numerals. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a main part of a door weather strip according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG.
FIG. 3 is an enlarged cross-sectional view taken along line A of FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is an enlarged cross-sectional view taken along line BB of FIG. 1, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a state where the door weather strip according to the embodiment of the present invention is attached to the lower door panel. .

A door weather strip 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention has a door structure in which an upper door panel 1 and a lower door panel 2 are combined as shown in FIGS. It is continuously attached to the periphery of the door panel 2, and when the door is closed, it elastically contacts the periphery (not shown) of the vehicle body opening to seal the inside and outside of the vehicle.

In the door structure, the lower end of the upper door panel 1 is inserted from the opening 5a having a substantially U-shaped cross section of the inserted body 5 provided at the upper end of the lower door panel 2 near the belt line, and assembled. It is supposed to be. The opening 5a is formed by bending each end of the lower door panel 2 in the vehicle front-rear direction to have a substantially U-shaped cross section. The inserted body 5 has a space (hollow portion or substantially U-shaped groove) into which the lower end portion of the upper door panel 1 is inserted, and the water that has entered the space does not flow from the space to the inside of the vehicle. It is designed to be guided outside.

In the door weather strip 10, near the seam between the upper door panel 1 and the lower door panel 2 to be assembled (located at two places on the front and rear sides of the door), a step P caused by the seam is absorbed. For this purpose, a molded part 20 extending into the space of the inserted body 5 is integrally formed. Then, the molded portion 20 is forcibly guided into the inserted body 5 by the water W that travels along the door weather strip 10 and enters the inside of the vehicle. The water W guided into the inserted body 5 is guided from the space to the outside of the vehicle. Therefore, it is possible to prevent rainwater or the like from the outside of the vehicle from leaking into the inside of the vehicle.

The molded part 20 is integrally molded at the same time as the extruded door weather strip 10 is molded. The molded part 20 is formed with a groove 25a for engaging with the upper end of the inserted body 5. Locking part 25 is integrally formed. Therefore, the positioning at the time of attaching the door weather strip 10 can be reliably performed, and the position of the molded portion 20 is also stabilized, so that the water W transmitted to the molded portion 20 is surely guided into the space of the inserted body 5. .

[0016]

As described above, according to the door weather strip according to the first aspect of the present invention, in the vertically divided door structure, the rainwater or the water for washing the car which intrudes into the inside of the vehicle is supplied to the upper end of the lower door panel. Is forcibly guided into the space formed in the vehicle, so that rainwater or the like from the outside of the vehicle is prevented from leaking into the inside of the vehicle.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the molded portion of the door weather strip is locked to the upper end of the lower door panel via the locking portion, the positioning of the door weather strip is ensured. Can be done. As a result, the position of the molded part is also stabilized, so that water transmitted to the molded part is surely guided into the space.
