Definitions
- This invention relates generally to sealing structures for automotive vehicles.
- Sealing structures in automotive vehicles play important functional roles. Among them, sealing structures may be used to prevent infiltration of water and particles and may be used for sound proofing. Seals for doors, tailgates and windows are particularly important. The configuration of these seals differs according to the configuration of the vehicle, but they commonly share a basic geometry that comprises a resilient lip or bulb that is positioned to fill a gap at the junction between a structural frame and a door, hood or window panel to realize the seal.
- the so-called open lips seal configuration as disclosed for example in US 5,544,448 is prone to lip flipping, stick-slip effect and poor compression set.
- Lip flipping occurs when the lip becomes misaligned relative to its normal functioning configuration due to factors such as friction, buckling, aging (alteration of resiliency), presence of particles such as dirt or ice and sub-optimal fixation to the vehicle.
- Stick-slip effect consists essentially in a jerking motion of the seal (in part due to the molecular structure of the seal) during static and dynamic frictional interactions with the door or tailgate and causes squeaking noises as well as accelerated wear of the seal.
- Compression set, or the loss of dynamic properties of the seal results from aging (changes in molecular structure) of the seal material as well as from sub-optimal design of seal structure configuration which can be limited by the method of manufacturing the seal.
- Seals are predominantly made of the thermoplastic elastomers manufactured into shape using extrusion or injection molding.
- Extrusion presents several disadvantages with regards to design flexibility since it is limited to design in the cross-section dimension (2-dimensional) the third dimension being strictly linear.
- Contoured shapes of parts manufactured by extrusion are imparted by secondary operations such as stretch bending which introduce important residual stress in the thermoplastic elastomer detrimental to its sealing functions.
- a metal core is often encapsulated within the extruded seal to provide structural support to an otherwise unstable 3-D shaped extrusion. The metal core adds significant, undesirable weight to the sealing structure.
- thermoplastic elastomers extrusions are poorly adaptable with regard to their viscoelastic sealing properties.
- a sealing structure for sealing a gap between two or more panels in a vehicle, the sealing structure comprising: a longitudinal member comprising a first component consisting of a resilient sealing bulb of thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) coupled to a second component consisting of a substrate configured to be fastened to a substrate retaining structure within the vehicle, wherein the resilient sealing bulb comprises a hollow section defining a lumen extending along the longitudinal member, the hollow section comprising a wall having a cross-sectional width surrounding the lumen and wherein the TPV of the wall exhibits a gradient of anisotropy in the direction of the width.

- CLD compression load deflection
- the residual stress-free overmolded bulb is particularly advantageous in contoured seal configurations in which bending in prior art seal arrangements, such as in extruded bulb, creates a localized increase or decrease in compression load deflection (CLD) particularly in the dynamic CLD.

- the resilient sealing structures may span the entire length of the sealing features or, alternatively, only a portion of the length. The contribution of a resilient sealing features to the elastomeric (sealing energy) properties of the sealing structure depends on its shape and dimension, which are predetermined based on the analysis of the sealing requirements of the gap. Examples of resilient sealing features are shown in Figure 5.
- ribs 35 in sealing compression, buckle and are straightened in extension (liftgate open) but to a maximum length thereby preventing the tip of a lip or bulb from "lip-flipping".
- the bulb may comprise additional resilient sealing features to optimize the dynamic/sealing of the sealing structure such as a projecting lip or a hinge structure such as a trough to enable additional degrees of freedom during compression/extension.
- additional resilient sealing features may be combined to optimize the function of the sealing structure.

- a cross-section view of a B-pillar seal is shown in Figure 6.
- the sealing structure comprises the bulb 10 which is positioned to contact front door 60 and a bulb conformation support 19 positioned to contact rear door 61.
- the bulb conformation support dynamically contributes to the sealing of both doors of the B-pillar.
- the bulb conformation support provides a counter acting force to the compression of the bulb by the front door 60.
- Figure 7 shows a perspective view of a contoured sealing structure exemplified by a B- pillar sealing structure. It will be appreciated that sealing structures for other gaps such as an outer belt for example may also be contoured. Contoured sealing structures of the prior art contain residual stress in sealing lips or bulbs along the curved areas resulting in uneven sealing viscoelastic properties of the seal structure and therefore uneven sealing pressure on the door or window that result in sub-optimal sealing.
- the overmolded bulb of the present invention is substantially free of residual stress in curved areas therefore providing a more uniform resiliency and sealing pressure along the length of the sealing structure.
- the resilient sealing bulb of the invention can also better adapt to the shape of the gap to be sealed such as profiled windows which may be curved or parabolic or the contour of a door.
- the resilient sealing bulb is overmolded on a substrate.
- the overmolding is achieved by forming the resilient sealing bulb directly on the substrate by injection molding.
- the residual stress-free bulb enables greater flexibility in the design of sealing structures with variable sealing compression (sealing energy) requirements along the length of the sealing structure especially with sealing structures exhibiting curved or profiled or contoured shapes.
- the configuration of the substrate may vary along the length of the sealing structure.
- the attachment interface 18 may be configured to optimize the properties of the sealing dynamics along the structure.
- the sealing structure of the invention enables the spreading of the load from compression load deflection (CLD), tear or tensile strength and sealing pressure on a greater portion of the substrate since the sealing structure comprises more than one tension bearing point as opposed to the open lip seal design which comprises a single tension bearing point.
- CLD compression load deflection
- the resilient sealing bulb 10 has a substantially uniform diameter/hollow interior shape and/or wall thickness along the length of the sealing structure even in sealing structures presenting important radii of curvature.
- the wall thickness of the resilient sealing bulb in the attachment interface 18 may differ from the wall thickness outside of the attachment region (as shown in figures 12 and 13) providing configuration options (relative thickness of bulb, shape of carrier, etc...) to optimize the dynamic sealing properties of the sealing structure.
- the sealing structure of the invention is suitable for any substantially longitudinal gap associated within certain structures in a vehicle such as without being limited to, outer-belts, A, B and C pillars, cowls, doors, sky roofs and the like.
- the sealing structure of the invention is particularly well suited for dynamic gap involving panels that open and close.
