Abstract
Provided is a weather strip for a vehicle according to the present disclosure. The weather strip includes: a fixing part fixed to a vehicle body or an opening/closing part of a vehicle; a sealing part formed on one side of the fixing part and formed in a hollow cross section therein to seal between the vehicle body and the opening/closing part; a sensor installation part positioned to be spaced apart from an inner surface of the sealing part in the sealing part and accommodating an anti-pinch sensor therein; and at least one sensor operation part protruding from the inner surface of the sealing part toward the sensor installation part by a predetermined length in the inner surface of the sealing part to pressurize the sensor installation part when the sealing part is deformed by an external force.
Claims16
A weather strip for a vehicle comprising:
- a fixing part configured to be fixed to the vehicle;
- a sealing part on one side of the fixing part to seal between the fixing part and the vehicle body and an opening/closing part;
- a sensor installation part comprising an anti-pinch sensor therein;
- and
- at least one sensor operation part of a plurality of sensor operation parts, the at least one sensor operation part configured to pressurize the sensor installation part when the sealing part is activated,
- wherein the sensor operation parts are arranged radially so that an end of each of the sensor operation parts faces the sensor installation part,
- wherein the sensor operation parts are formed at a predetermined angular interval from each other,
- wherein sensor support parts are formed so that the sensor installation part connects an inner surface of the sealing part or the fixing part,
- wherein an end of the at least one sensor operation part is formed to be convex toward the sensor installation part such that if the sealing part is pressed, the end of the at least one sensor operation part is configured to contact the sensor installation part,
- wherein at least one of the sensor support parts that is adjacent to the at least one sensor operation part is formed to be inclined,
- wherein the sensor installation part is formed to be inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to a longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and
- wherein the at least one sensor support part and the sensor installation part are inclined in a same direction.
