Description

  The present invention relates to a door seal structure around a vehicle door.

  Conventionally, a door seal structure around a vehicle door is disclosed in Patent Document 1.

  In this door seal structure, the thickness of the seal portion of the weather strip that is sucked out and greatly deformed is adjusted to other parts in order to cope with the door being sucked out at high speed and the door being deformed to the outside of the vehicle. It is thicker than the wall thickness. For this reason, the sealing force between the weather strip and the seal portion at the portion that is sucked out and greatly deforms is larger than the other portions.

JP 11-227471 A

  However, this door seal structure is complicated to manufacture because the thickness of the weather strip seal portion (sealing protrusion) is changed.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a door seal structure in which a strong sealing force between a weather strip and a seal portion is maintained while taking the above-mentioned fact into consideration and a simple structure.

A door seal structure according to claim 1 of the present invention opens and closes a door opening formed in a vehicle side portion , and is supported on the vehicle body side by a door hinge on a front end side and a door lock on a rear end side, and the door main body. a front door provided at an upper end portion configured to include a door frame for supporting the door glass of the disposed in the front door periphery, the door opening by the door opening portion and elastically pressed A weather strip having a projecting portion that seals and a part of the periphery of the door opening, and the projecting portion forms a first wrap portion, and seals between the front door and the door opening. The first seal portion and the other part of the periphery of the door opening, the first seal portion being displaced from the first seal portion in a direction to press-contact the projection, and the projection from the first wrap portion. No Constitute a second lap portion amount is increased, have a, a second seal portion for sealing between said front door and the door opening, the second lap portion, door glass of the front door It is an intersection of a side that supports the upper side of the door and a side that supports the front side of the door glass, and is disposed at a first corner portion provided at a position away from the door hinge and the door lock. To do.

According to the above configuration, the door is sucked out to the outside of the vehicle when traveling at high speed, and a load on the outside of the vehicle is applied to the door of the second lap portion. In particular, a load on the vehicle outer side tends to be applied to the first corner portion of the front door that is the second lap portion. That is, the rigidity at the first corner portion, which is the intersection of the side that supports the upper side of the door glass of the front door and the side that supports the front side of the door glass, is the weakest. It is easy to load. As a result, the amount of lap between the weather strip sealing protrusion and the second sealing portion at the first corner portion may be reduced.

However, in the present invention, the second wrap portion is disposed at the first corner portion, and the second seal portion is preliminarily applied with a reaction force to the weather strip rather than the first seal portion, so that the sealing force is increased. By displacing in a certain weather strip pressing direction, the weather strip is configured to come into contact with the second seal portion by the amount of lap of the first wrap portion formed by the weather strip being applied to the first seal portion. The amount of wrap in the second lap portion is increased. For this reason, the load on the outside of the vehicle is applied to the door of the second lap portion during high-speed traveling , and the lap amount required at the first corner portion is ensured even if the lap amount at the first corner portion decreases. .

Door seal structure according to claim 2 of the present invention is the mounting of claim 1 Symbol, the second sealing portion, said door opening weather strip pressure than the other part of the body is the first seal portion at the peripheral It is provided by projecting in the direction.

  According to the above configuration, the second seal portion is provided by forming the other part of the vehicle body at the periphery of the door opening portion so as to protrude from the first seal portion in the weatherstrip pressure contact direction. There is no need to install.

Door seal structure according to claim 3 of the present invention is the mounting of claim 1 Symbol, the second seal portion, the first sealing portion by attaching a separate component to the other part of the vehicle body in the door opening peripheral edge It protrudes in the weatherstrip pressure direction rather than, and is characterized by the above.

  According to the above configuration, since the second seal portion disposed in the weather strip pressure contact direction is provided by attaching another part to the other part of the vehicle body at the periphery of the door opening, the shape of the vehicle body is changed. There is no need.

According to the door seal structure of the first aspect of the present invention, when the load on the vehicle outer side is applied to the front door of the second wrap portion, the wrap between the seal protrusion and the second seal portion is simple. The required amount is secured and the sealing force is maintained.

According to the door seal structure of the second aspect of the present invention, since it is not necessary to attach another part to the vehicle body, the mounting work is eliminated and the structure is simple.

According to the door seal structure of the present invention described in claim 3, since it is not necessary to change the shape of the vehicle body, the vehicle body shape can be made common and the structure is simple.

  A first embodiment of a door seal structure according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  In the figure, the arrow FR indicates the vehicle front direction, the arrow UP indicates the vehicle upward direction, and the arrow IN indicates the vehicle inner side direction.

  FIG. 2 shows the front door 12 of the vehicle 10 to which the present invention is applied in a state where the door opening 10A (see FIG. 1) of the vehicle 10 is closed. The front door 12 includes a door body 14 and a door frame 18. A front end portion of the door main body 14 is pivotally supported on the vehicle 10 by two door hinges 20 arranged in the vehicle vertical direction. Further, when the front door 12 is closed, the rear end portion of the door body 14 is held in engagement with the vehicle 10 by the door lock 22. Further, a door mirror 24 for confirming the rear state is disposed at the front upper portion of the door body 14, and a door frame 18 that supports the outer periphery of the door glass 16 from the upper front end portion and the upper rear end portion of the door body 14. Is extended.

  With the above configuration, when the front door 12 is closed, the door body 14 is supported by the door hinge 20 and the door lock 22 and has high rigidity. On the other hand, the door frame 18 is configured to be supported by the door main body 14 with the upper front end and the upper rear end of the door main body 14 as supporting points, and thus has a lower rigidity than the door main body 14. A first corner portion 19 that is an intersection of an upper side portion 18A that supports the upper side of the door glass 16 and a front side portion 18B that supports the front side of the door glass 16 has a longitudinal axis bent, and the door Since the distance from the support point of the main body 14 is long, the rigidity is particularly low. When traveling at high speed, a force sucked to the outside of the vehicle acts on the front door 12, so that a load on the outside of the vehicle is applied to the first corner portion 19 having particularly low rigidity.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the door frame 18 includes a door frame outer 26 on the vehicle outer side and a door frame inner 28 on the vehicle inner side. The door frame outer 26 constituting the design surface as viewed from the outside of the vehicle is folded back 180 degrees at the outer peripheral end and supported with one end of the door frame inner 28 interposed therebetween. In addition, the sealer 32 is apply | coated to the terminal part of the door frame outer 26, and the antirust performance is ensured.

  On the other hand, the other end of the door frame inner 28 abuts against the door frame outer 26 and is then bent in the direction perpendicular to the door frame outer 26 toward the inside of the vehicle (in the direction of arrow D) to attach the weather strip 34. A surface 28A is formed. Further, the vehicle inner side of the weather mounting surface 28A of the door frame inner 28 is formed with a large arc 28B and bent downward, and the end thereof is bent outward of the vehicle. The lower ends of the door frame outer 26 and the door frame inner 28 support the door glass 16 via a glass run 38 made of synthetic rubber.

  A weather strip 34 attached to the weather attachment surface 28A of the door frame inner 28 by a double-sided tape 40 or the like seals the gap between the front door 12 and the seal portion 42 provided in the door opening 10A of the vehicle 10. The seal portion 42 includes a first seal portion 42A and a second seal portion 42B. A first seal portion 42A indicated by an imaginary line in FIG. 1 is a part of the periphery of the door opening 10A, and is provided other than the first corner portion 19 (see FIG. 2). Further, the second seal portion 42B is formed so as to protrude in the pressure contact direction (vehicle outward direction), which is a direction in which a reaction force is applied to the weather strip 34 and the sealing force becomes larger than the first seal portion 42A. Has been.

  The weather strip 34 is provided with a sealing protrusion 34C that abuts against the seal portion 42 and has a constant cross-sectional shape when cut in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction thereof. Further, the weather strip 34 is integrally and continuously formed of synthetic rubber.

  The weather strip 34 is attached to the weather mounting surface 28A with a double-sided tape 40, a base 34B, a hollow sealing protrusion 34C, and protrudes upward in the vehicle. It is comprised from the lip | rip part 34D which contacts the upper end part. When the front door 12 is closed, the tip of the lip portion 34D comes into contact with the upper end portion of the vehicle 10, so that the lip portion 34D bends to the outside of the vehicle and fills the gap between the front door 12 and the vehicle 10. As a result, the lip portion 34D suppresses wind from entering through the gap between the front door 12 and the vehicle 10 and generating unpleasant wind noise during traveling.

  When the front door 12 is closed, the sealing projection 34C is bent into the shape indicated by the solid line from the imaginary line shown in FIG. If the amount of elastic deformation of the outer shape in the natural state shown by the imaginary line in FIG. 1 of the projecting portion 34C for sealing is elastically deformed in the vehicle outer direction by the second sealing portion 42B is defined as the wrap amount (B dimension shown in FIG. By ensuring the necessary amount of lap, the sealing force between the front door 12 and the seal portion 42 is maintained. By maintaining this sealing force, intrusion of water, wind or sound from the gap between the vehicle 10 and the front door 12 is suppressed. Note that the lap amount (dimension B shown in FIG. 1) of the second lap portion formed by the weather strip 34 being elastically pressed against and in contact with the second seal portion 42B is the same as that of the weather strip 34. This is larger than the wrap amount (C dimension shown in FIG. 1) of the first wrap portion formed by being elastically pressed against the portion 42A.

  The seal portion 42 against which the weather strip 34 abuts is substantially perpendicular to the opening / closing direction (E direction shown in FIG. 1) of the front door 12 so that the sealing protrusion 34C is stably deformed when the door is closed. Is provided. The upper end of the seal portion 42 is bent toward the vehicle outer side, and further bent upward at the end portion of the seal portion 42 to form a design surface that can be viewed from the vehicle outer side, like the door frame outer 26. Further, the lower end portion of the seal portion 42 is bent inward of the vehicle to form a surface parallel to the weather mounting surface 28A, and the end portion thereof is bent downward in the vehicle to form a flange 46 to which the door finisher 44 is attached. Has been.

  An end of the roof lining (not shown), which is an interior material in the vehicle interior, is attached to the flange 46 so as to overlap the vehicle width direction. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, a hollow sub seal 48 is attached to the vehicle outer side of the door finisher 44 that covers the edge of the terminal portion of the flange 46. The sub seal 48 seals the gap between the arc 28B of the door frame inner 28, the contact arc 28B, and the door finisher 44, and assists the sealing function of the sealing protrusion 34C of the weather strip 34.

  Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.

  When traveling at high speed, there is a difference between the pressure in the passenger compartment and the pressure around the vehicle due to the air flow around the vehicle. Due to this pressure difference, the front door 12 shown in FIG. 2 is subjected to a force sucked to the outside of the vehicle, and the first corner portion 19 having the lowest rigidity at the corner portion of the door that tends to be loaded on the outside of the vehicle. A load acts to deform the vehicle outward. Therefore, the amount of wrap between the second seal portion 42B and the seal projection 34C (dimension B shown in FIG. 1) in the second wrap portion is reduced.

  However, in this embodiment, the amount of wrap of the second wrap portion (dimension B shown in FIG. 1) is obtained by providing the second seal portion 42B so as to protrude in the direction of pressure contact with the first seal portion 42A. The wrap amount of the first lap portion (C dimension shown in FIG. 1) is larger. As a result, even if the wrap amount of the second wrap portion is reduced, a necessary amount of the wrap amount of the second wrap portion is ensured, and the sealing force between the front door 12 and the seal portion 42 is maintained.

  Accordingly, when the door frame 18 of the first corner portion 19 having the weakest rigidity at the corner portion of the door which tends to be loaded on the outside of the vehicle is loaded on the outside of the vehicle, the sealing protrusion 34C having the same shape is provided. Even if the weather strip 34 is used, a necessary amount of lap is secured and the sealing force is maintained.

  Further, since the seal surface can be partially displaced, the door closing performance is not deteriorated.

  Further, by making the sealing protrusion 34C of the weather strip 34 into a fixed shape, the extrusion manufacturing process can be simplified and an inexpensive door seal structure is obtained.

  In the above embodiment, the sealing protrusion 34C of the weather strip 34 has a constant shape. However, by making other shapes constant, the weather strip 34 having a constant cross section can be used, and the cost is lower. A door seal structure can be obtained.

  A weather strip having a constant cross section can also be obtained by moving the door frame inwardly (moving in the direction of arrow F) with the straight line connecting the front end of the door frame and the rear end of the upper side of the door frame as an axis. It is possible to increase the amount of lap at the first corner portion 19 by using it. However, in this method, the step difference in the design surface between the vehicle and the front door is increased and the appearance is deteriorated or the air resistance is increased. In this embodiment, however, the position of the door frame 18 is not moved. The problem does not occur.

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, about the same member as 1st Embodiment, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and the description is abbreviate | omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 3, in this embodiment, the second seal portion 42B is formed so as to protrude from the first seal portion 42A in the direction of pressure contact with the weather strip 34 as in the above-described embodiment. Instead of being displaced in the direction of pressure contact with the strip 34, by attaching an acrylic tape 50, which is a separate part, to the seal portion 42, it is displaced in the direction of pressure contact with the weather strip 34 rather than the first seal portion 42A. The operation of the second embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment.

  Further, as an effect of the second embodiment, since it is not necessary to change the shape of the seal portion 42, the shape of the seal portion 42 can be made common, and the structure is simple.

  Although the present invention has been described in detail with respect to specific embodiments, the present invention is not limited to such embodiments, and various other embodiments are possible within the scope of the present invention. It is clear to the contractor. For example, in the second embodiment, the second seal portion 42B is displaced in the direction of pressure contact with the weather strip 34 rather than the first seal portion 42A by attaching the acrylic tape 50 to the seal portion 42, but the seal portion In the initial state, a coating sealer or the like that is liquid and solidifies after application may be applied to displace the first seal portion in the weather strip pressure direction.
