Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of vehicle glass, and in particular to an edge-wrapped glass assembly, a vehicle door, and a vehicle. Background Art
[0002] In vehicles, rearview mirrors are used as driver-assistance devices, allowing drivers to observe the vehicle's side and rearward motion through the lens's reflection mechanism. Traditional rearview mirrors have been gradually replaced by electronic mirrors in recent years due to issues such as limited field of view, increased fuel consumption due to wind resistance, poor nighttime visibility, and poor visibility in inclement weather. The Camera Monitor System (CMS) is an advanced automotive technology that utilizes a combination of cameras and monitors to replace traditional optical rearview mirrors, effectively addressing many of these issues.
[0003] However, traditional electronic rearview mirrors are mostly integrated into the body sheet metal, and the camera still needs to be installed on a support rod extending from the side of the vehicle. On the one hand, this installation structure will not only increase the width of the vehicle, affecting the vehicle's passing performance; on the other hand, it will also increase the windward area of the vehicle, increase wind resistance during driving, and lead to higher fuel consumption. Summary of the Invention

[0046] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the specific embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following description sets forth many specific details to facilitate a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways than those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the scope of the present application. Therefore, the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0047] In addition, if the terms "first" or "second" appear, these terms are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to indicate or imply relative importance or implicitly specify the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features. In the description of this application, if the term "plurality" appears, "plurality" means at least two, for example, two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically defined.
[0048] In this application, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," "connected," "fixed," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, these terms may refer to fixed connections, removable connections, or integration; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediary; and internal communication between two components or interaction between two components, unless otherwise specified. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0049] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being “fixed to” or “disposed on” another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be an intermediate element. If an element is considered to be “connected to” another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element.
[0050] See Figures 1 to 3 , is a rimmed glass assembly 100 shown in an embodiment of the present application. For example, the rimmed glass assembly 100 can be specifically a corner window glass assembly, which is arranged on the left and right doors 200 of the cab.
[0051] The edge-wrapped glass assembly 100 can replace the traditional automobile rearview mirror by integrating the image acquisition device 40 to assist the driver in obtaining the vehicle driving conditions behind the vehicle.
[0052] For example, the edge-enclosed glass assembly 100 includes a glass 10, an edge-enclosed glass 20, a first insert 30, and an image acquisition device 40. For example, the glass 10 may be, but is not limited to, a corner window glass 10.
[0053] The edging 20 is connected to the edge of the glass 10. The material of the edging 20 can be thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), polyurethane (PU), etc., which is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application.
[0054] Please continue reading Figure 2 and Figure 7The edge 20 has a convex bump 21, which defines a communicating accommodation cavity 212 and a first window 211. The convex bump 21 projects beyond the exterior surface of the vehicle door 200. As will be readily understood, the purpose of providing the convex bump 21 is to form the accommodation cavity 212 and the first window 211, facilitating installation of the first insert 30 and the image acquisition device 40 while minimizing space within the vehicle.
[0055] The first insert 30 is disposed in the accommodating cavity 212 . The first insert 30 is provided with a connecting mounting cavity 31 and a second window 32 . The second window 32 is exposed from the first window 211 and is arranged toward the side and rear of the vehicle.
[0056] It should be noted that the second window 32 is exposed in the first window 211, which means that the second window 32 is not blocked by the first window 211, thereby avoiding blocking the lens 42 of the image acquisition device 40; at this time, the side of the first insert 30 used to form the second window 32 can be located inside the first window 211, or flush with the first window 211, or extend a certain distance outside the first window 211. The specific arrangement structure can be flexibly selected according to actual needs.
[0057] like Figure 8 As shown, the material of the first insert 30 can be, but is not limited to, PP, PA6, PA66, PC+ABS, etc. The first insert 30 is provided with a slot 35 into which the edge of the glass 10 is snapped, thereby securing the first insert 30 to the edge of the glass 10. This facilitates the integral placement of the first insert 30, the glass 10, and the edging 20 into the mold for integral injection molding.
[0058] like Figure 8 As shown, the first sidewall of the slot 35 is further provided with a fitting portion 351 and an inner recess 352. The fitting portion 351 is tightly fitted against the first side surface 11 of the glass 10, while the inner recess 352 has a clearance fit therewith. The tight fit of the fitting portion 351 against the first side surface 11 of the glass 10 prevents relative movement of the first insert 30 and the glass 10 after they are assembled into the injection mold, thus preventing relative displacement that could affect injection molding quality. A clearance is formed between the inner recess 352 and the first side surface 11 of the glass 10, allowing the injection molding material to enter the slot 35 and bond more firmly to the first insert 30.
[0059] Preferably, a plurality of the fitting portions 351 and the inner recessed portions 352 are provided and are arranged alternately.
[0060] Furthermore, the first insert 30 is further provided with a protrusion 36, which extends along the second sidewall of the slot 35 to the outside of the slot 35. The protrusion 36 is spaced apart from and opposite to the contact portion 351 and the recessed portion 352, and the protrusion 36 is in close contact with the second side surface 12 of the glass 10. The protrusion 36 extending to the outside of the slot 35 increases the contact area with the glass 10, providing a larger bonding surface and thereby ensuring a more secure bond between the first insert 30 and the glass 10.
[0061] In this application, the mounting cavity 31 has a mounting opening that facilitates the installation of the image acquisition device 40 into the mounting cavity 31. The mounting opening is formed on the inner surface of the first insert 30, that is, the mounting opening is arranged to face the interior of the vehicle; the second window 32 is formed on the outer surface of the first insert 30, that is, the second window 32 is arranged to face the exterior of the vehicle.
[0062] Please continue reading Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 The image acquisition device 40 is disposed within the mounting cavity 31, and a lens 42 of the image acquisition device 40 is exposed through the second window 32. It is understood that the image acquisition device 40 is used to capture the vehicle's driving conditions from the side and rear of the vehicle; for example, the image acquisition device 40 can be any one of a camera, a still camera, and an image sensor, and can be flexibly selected based on actual needs.
[0063] In summary, the implementation of the technical solution of this embodiment will have the following beneficial effects: the edge-wrapped glass assembly 100 of this solution is specifically a glass component integrated with an image acquisition device 40. By embedding the image acquisition device 40, the image acquisition device 40 is used to capture the vehicle's driving conditions on the side and rear of the vehicle, and the image is transmitted to the monitor inside the vehicle in real time, thereby making it easier for the driver to understand the road conditions and ensure driving safety. Furthermore, by designing a convex 21 on the edging 20 of the glass 10, and processing the convex 21 into a connected accommodating cavity 212 and a first window 211, the accommodating cavity 212 can be used to embed the first insert 30. At the same time, the first insert 30 is provided with a connected installation cavity 31 and a second window 32. The installation cavity 31 can be used to embed the image acquisition device 40, while ensuring that the lens 42 of the image acquisition device 40 can be exposed through the second window 32 and arranged toward the side and rear of the vehicle; in this way, not only can the image acquisition device 40 replace the traditional automobile rearview mirror to assist the driver in driving, but the image acquisition device 40 is also well integrated into the convex 21 and the first insert 30, eliminating the traditional support rod. The height of the convex 21 protruding from the side of the vehicle is small, so it will not significantly increase the width of the entire vehicle, which is beneficial to improving the vehicle's passability. In addition, the convex 21 has a small windward area and low wind resistance, which can effectively avoid an increase in vehicle fuel consumption and improve driving economy.
[0064] It should be noted that the image acquisition device of this solution is actually an electronic rearview mirror.
[0065] Please continue reading Figure 6 and Figure 7 Because the image capture device 40 is an electronic device and operates in the vehicle's external environment, contamination by impurities or foreign matter such as dust and rain can easily affect its performance and service life. Therefore, ensuring the installation and sealing of the image capture device 40 is particularly important. In one embodiment, the enclosed glass assembly 100 further includes a first sealing ring 50, which is mounted on the exterior of the lens 42 of the image capture device 40. The lens 42 of the image capture device 40 is sealed against the sidewall of the second window 32 via the first sealing ring 50.
[0066] That is, by disposing the first sealing ring 50 between the lens 42 of the image acquisition device 40 and the sidewall of the second window 32, the first sealing ring 50 can effectively seal the mating surfaces of the two, thereby preventing dust, rainwater, and other impurities from the external environment from entering through the mating gap and affecting the image acquisition device 40. For example, the first sealing ring 50 can be any one of a rubber ring and an oil seal.
[0067] Alternatively, as an alternative to the above embodiment, the enclosed glass assembly 100 further includes a first sealing ring 50, which is sleeved onto the exterior of the main body 43 of the image acquisition device 40. The main body 43 of the image acquisition device 40 is sealed against the sidewall of the mounting cavity 31 via the first sealing ring 50. In other words, by providing the first sealing ring 50 between the main body 43 of the image acquisition device 40 and the sidewall of the mounting cavity 31, a reliable sealing effect can also be achieved.
[0068] Alternatively, as an alternative to the two aforementioned embodiments, the enclosed glass assembly 100 further includes two first sealing rings 50, one of which is mounted on the exterior of the lens 42 of the image acquisition device 40. The lens 42 of the image acquisition device 40 is sealed against the sidewall of the second window 32 via the first sealing ring 50. The other first sealing ring 50 is mounted on the exterior of the main unit 43 of the image acquisition device 40. The main unit 43 of the image acquisition device 40 is sealed against the sidewall of the mounting cavity 31 via the first sealing ring 50. By installing two first sealing rings 50, a two-stage sealing structure is formed, which can block impurities such as dust and rainwater from the external environment, thereby achieving better sealing performance.
[0069] Of course, it should be noted that the number and position of the first sealing rings 50 can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs, as long as the image acquisition device 40 meets the sealing installation requirements.
[0070] Furthermore, in addition to being sealed and installed by means of the first sealing ring 50 , the image acquisition device 40 may also adopt physical sealing techniques such as a labyrinth sealing structure, a sealing groove, and a sealing protrusion in other optional embodiments.
[0071] During vehicle driving, the vibration transmitted to the image acquisition device 40 is very large due to factors such as potholes and uneven roads and the vehicle's own vibration. This can easily cause the image acquisition device 40 to loosen, affecting the image capture quality and clarity, and interfering with the driver's normal acquisition of vehicle driving status information to the side and rear of the vehicle. In view of this, it is necessary to consider improving the installation stability of the image acquisition device 40. Please continue to refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 In one embodiment, a plurality of first limiting ribs 33 are protruding from the side wall of the installation cavity 31. The plurality of first limiting ribs 33 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the installation cavity 31. The first limiting ribs 33 are engaged with the host 43 of the image acquisition device 40 to limit the freedom of the image acquisition device 40 along the first direction and the second direction; wherein the first direction intersects with the second direction.
[0072] With this arrangement, the main body 43 of the image acquisition device 40 is simultaneously engaged with the plurality of circumferential first limiting ribs 33 , thereby effectively limiting the freedom of the image acquisition device 40 along the first direction and the second direction, ensuring that the image acquisition device 40 is securely installed.
[0073] For example, the first direction may be the Y-axis direction, and the second direction may be the Z-axis direction; or the first direction may be the Z-axis direction, and the second direction may be the Y-axis direction. That is, the plurality of first limiting ribs 33 may constrain the image acquisition device 40's freedom of movement and rotation in the YZ plane.
[0074] Please continue reading Figures 2 to 5 In addition, based on any of the above embodiments, the edge-wrapped glass assembly 100 further includes a cover plate 60, which is disposed on the first insert 30 to enclose the image acquisition device 40 within the mounting cavity 31. As will be readily understood, the mounting cavity 31 has an inlet and outlet, which facilitate the insertion and removal of the image acquisition device 40 into and out of the mounting cavity 31. Once the image acquisition device 40 is installed within the mounting cavity 31, the cover plate 60 is connected to the first insert 30 to seal the inlet and outlet, thereby enclosing the image acquisition device 40 within the mounting cavity 31. This improves the installation stability of the image acquisition device 40 and prevents dust, rainwater, and other external elements from entering the mounting cavity 31 and damaging the image acquisition device 40.
[0075] Please continue reading Figure 9Furthermore, a second limiting rib 62 is protruding from the inner side of the cover plate 60, facing the mounting cavity 31. The second limiting rib 62 abuts the main body 43 of the image acquisition device 40 to limit the image acquisition device 40's degrees of freedom along a third direction, which intersects both the first and second directions. Specifically, the third direction is the X-axis. By abutting the second limiting rib 62 against the main body 43 of the image acquisition device 40, the X-axis degrees of freedom of movement and rotation are further constrained, in addition to the Y- and Z-axis degrees of freedom, thereby further enhancing the secure installation of the image acquisition device 40.
[0076] In order to achieve assembly and fixation of the cover plate 60 and the first insert 30 , in one embodiment, the first insert 30 is provided with a first connecting portion, and the cover plate 60 is provided with a second connecting portion, and the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are directly or indirectly connected.
[0077] Please continue reading Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 Specifically, in an optional embodiment, the edge-enclosed glass assembly 100 further includes a threaded component 70, with a first connection portion configured as a threaded hole 34 and a second connection portion configured as a through hole 61. The through hole 61 is aligned with the threaded hole 34, and the threaded component 70 passes through the through hole 61 and is threadedly assembled with the threaded hole 34. This threaded connection not only provides a high strength and secure connection between the cover plate 60 and the first insert 30, but also facilitates and reduces effort in installation and removal.
[0078] Preferably, the threaded parts 70, through holes 61 and threaded holes 34 are each provided in plurality, for example, three; three groups of threaded parts 70, through holes 61 and threaded holes 34 are arranged around the circumference of the cover plate 60 and assembled one-to-one. By screwing and locking at three points at the same time, the installation firmness of the cover plate 60 can be further improved.
[0079] Please continue reading Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 9 In another embodiment, the cover plate 60 further defines a wire hole 63 extending through the thickness thereof. The connecting wire 41 of the image acquisition device 40 passes through the wire hole 63 and exits to the exterior of the enclosed glass assembly 100. This facilitates the connecting wire 41 of the image acquisition device 40 to extend and electrically connect to the vehicle's control system, thereby ensuring normal signal transmission from the image acquisition device 40.
[0080] In order to facilitate the passage of the connecting wire 41, the diameter of the outlet hole 63 is usually designed to be slightly larger than the diameter of the connecting wire 41, thereby forming an assembly gap between the hole wall of the outlet hole 63 and the outer wall of the connecting wire 41. The assembly gap will become a hidden danger point, allowing dust, rainwater, etc. in the external environment to enter the installation cavity 31 through the assembly gap and cause damage to the image acquisition device 40. For this, please continue to refer to Figure 4 Furthermore, the enclosed glass assembly 100 further includes a second sealing ring 80, which is embedded in the wire outlet hole 63. The connecting wire 41 passes through the second sealing ring 80, and the connecting wire 41 and the second sealing ring 80 are sealed. In other words, the second sealing ring 80 can effectively block the assembly gap, thereby avoiding the above-mentioned problem.
[0081] In this application, the edging glass assembly 100 also includes a second insert 90 and a guide rail 90a. The glass 10, edging 20, first insert 30, second insert 90, and guide rail 90a are integrally formed via injection molding. The guide rail 90a is provided with a threaded connector for screwing to the sheet metal of the vehicle body 300. This effectively improves the overall structural strength and stability of the edging glass assembly 100. Furthermore, it facilitates sheet metal connection and fixation of the edging glass assembly 100 to the vehicle body 300, enabling integration of the edging glass assembly 100 into the vehicle body 300.
[0082] In addition to the above, the present application also provides a vehicle, which can be any one of a fuel-powered vehicle, a pure electric vehicle, a hybrid vehicle, etc.
[0083] like Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle includes a vehicle body 300 and a door 200. The door 200 is movably mounted on the vehicle body 300 and can be opened or closed relative to the vehicle body 300. The door 200 includes a door body 210 and a rimmed glass assembly 100 as described in any of the above embodiments. The rimmed glass assembly 100 is mounted on the door body 210.
[0084] The vehicle also includes a monitor disposed within the vehicle body 300 and in communication with the image acquisition device 40. Images of the vehicle's driving conditions behind the vehicle, captured by the image acquisition device 40, are processed by a processor and converted into video images, which can then be displayed in real time on a monitor (such as an electronic display screen, mobile phone, tablet, etc.), allowing the driver to observe information about vehicles and road conditions behind the vehicle from within the vehicle.
[0085] Optionally, the monitor can be installed on the A-pillar inside the vehicle, or can be installed on the support surface formed by the A-pillar inside the vehicle and the front windshield 10, the front fixed triangular window glass 10 and the center console. The specific selection can be flexibly made according to actual needs.
[0086] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily.
