BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a glass run stopper mounting structure in a press door of a vehicle such as a passenger car.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In a press door of a vehicle such as a passenger car, when the door glass is lifted and closed, a glass run is arranged on the edge of the press door so that the front end softly contacts the edge of the press door. 3 and 4 show a conventional configuration example of such a glass run and a glass run stopper disposed on the back side of the glass run.
FIG. 3 is a front view showing a configuration example of a door. Reference numeral 1 denotes a press door body composed of an outer panel 4 and an inner panel 5, 2 is a door glass, and 3 is arranged on the edge of the press door. It is a glass run that is formed of a soft material such as rubber and encloses both the inside and outside of the door glass 2. FIG. 4 shows a cross-sectional structure taken along line AA in FIG. A glass run stopper 6 is disposed on the back side of the glass run 3 in the internal space where the outer panel 4 and the inner panel 5 of the press door 1 are joined. When the door glass 2 is opened and closed, the glass run 3 contacts the glass run stopper 6 installed in the space between the outer panel 4 of the press door 1 (hereinafter simply referred to as a door) and the inner panel 5 of the door. And set to close.
[0003]
Here, FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing the shape of the glass run stopper 6 according to an example of the conventional system shown in FIG. 4, which is produced by bending a metal plate or the like so as to have a substantially W-shaped cross section. The press door 1 has a shape that fits in the space between the outer panel 4 and the inner panel 5. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, one end portion of the glass run stopper 6 is partially pressed against the outer panel 4 of the press door 1, and the other end portion of the inner panel 5 of the press door 1. While having a structure that substantially fits into the recess, the central portion is projected as a flat projection 6 a at a position where it can abut against the front, that is, the back surface of the glass run 3. In this case, when the door glass 2 is raised, the door glass 2 enters the glass run 3, and the tip of the door glass 2 comes into contact with the protrusion 6 a of the glass run stopper 6 and stops.
[0004]
On the other hand, FIG.6 and FIG.7 shows the structural example of another conventional glass run stopper. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. 3, and FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the glass run stopper 7. As shown in FIG. The glass run stopper 7 has a central portion protruding as a protruding portion 7a so as to come into contact with the back surface of the glass run 3. The end portion 7b is spot welded to the inner panel 5 at two locations (see FIGS. 6 and 7). It is a structure that is not connected to the outer panel 3 of the door at all, though it is connected by the x mark portion).
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the case of the glass run stopper 6 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the outer panel 4 of the door is forcibly fitted between the outer panel 4 and the inner panel 5 of the press door 1 and is elastically incorporated. 4 is only in contact.
Further, in the case of the glass run stopper 7 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, both end portions 7b are connected to the inner panel 5 of the press door 1 by spot welding, but are not connected to the outer panel 4 at all. Absent.
Therefore, in any conventional glass run stopper mounting structure, the glass run stoppers 6 and 7 move substantially following the inner panel 5 side of the press door 1, so that the outer panel 4 and the inner panel 5 are assembled. If these dimensional accuracy variations occur, the glass run stoppers 6 and 7 are displaced with respect to the outer panel 4. Further, the positional deviation of the glass run run stoppers 6 and 7 is also affected by the assembling accuracy of the door glass 2 itself, and due to variations in dimensional accuracy, problems such as opening of the glass run 3 are likely to occur.
[0006]
Thus, in the structure of the conventional glass run stoppers 6 and 7, the mounting positions of the glass run stoppers 6 and 7 are easily affected by the glass run 3. As a result, the size accuracy of the frontage between the door panels 4 and 5 and the glass run 3 is lowered, and there is a problem that the correction is difficult and a problem such as poor appearance is likely to occur.
[0007]
The glass run stopper mounting structure according to the present invention can accurately position the glass run even if the inner panel of the door and the outer panel of the door are assembled, the variation due to the glass dimensional accuracy and the variation of the assembly of the door glass occur. The purpose is to improve the frontage accuracy.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
To achieve the above object, the present onset Ming, a glass run stopper consisting of a connecting area portion between the outer side portions and the side plate portion and an outer edge portion and the side plate portion, attached to the press door body made of the outer panel and the inner panel In order to join the glass run, the outer panel and the inner panel are arranged at a predetermined interval, the edges of the upper end of the outer panel and the inner panel are joined, and the outer panel generated during the joining Adjust the position of the glass run stopper according to the assembly variation with the inner panel, spot weld the side plate of the glass run stopper between the outer panel and the inner panel with the inner panel of the press door, and connect the outer panel with the inner panel. Install the glass run stopper and align the outer edge with the outer edge of the outer panel. Characterized by timing connection.
[0009]
The glass run stopper of the present invention has a portion to be hemmed at a position where the outer panel of the press door and the glass run are in contact with each other, a portion to be spot welded to the inner panel, variation in assembly accuracy between the outer panel and the inner panel, and door glass. After the glass run stopper is positioned with respect to the inner panel by freely tuning the position of the glass run stopper so as to correct the variation in dimensions, one of the glass run stoppers is spot welded to the inner panel, and then hemmed.
As a result, even if there is a variation in the assembly accuracy of the outer panel and the inner panel or a variation in the size of the door glass, the glass run stopper can be moved forward and backward in the direction of variation at the spot welded portion with the inner panel and adjusted arbitrarily. The glass run can be easily positioned with respect to the outer panel, and the frontage accuracy can be improved.
