Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of automotive glass, and in particular to a glass assembly and vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Automotive glass is an indispensable part of a car's structure, mainly divided into windshields, side windows, rear windows, sunroofs, and triangular windows. These windows not only provide basic protection but have also evolved to enhance aesthetics with technological advancements. For example, some car models have angled holes in the body panels for installing automotive glass, requiring the corners of the glass to be made sharp to fit these holes.

[0003] However, due to limitations in the processing capabilities of glass production equipment, it is difficult and costly to create sharp corners in automotive glass, resulting in low manufacturing feasibility. In addition, the fit of the sharp corners in automotive glass is difficult to control, leading to poor light and shadow effects and making it easy to fail the fragmentation test. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a glass assembly and vehicle to address the problem that it is difficult to manufacture the corners of glass into sharp angles.

[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides a glass assembly comprising:

[0006] The glass has a joint at one end along a first direction of the glass assembly;

[0007] Edge binding, wherein the edge binding is installed on the glass and exposes the joint; and

[0008] The decorative panel has a pointed corner at one end along the first direction, and the other end of the decorative panel along the first direction is connected to the joint, so that the decorative panel and the glass are spliced ​​together as an integral structure along the first direction.

[0009] In this glass assembly design, considering the difficulty of machining sharp corners in the glass, a design that omits sharp corners is adopted. Instead, a trim panel is used to join the glass to meet the installation requirements of the sharp-cornered holes in the body sheet metal. Specifically, a joint is designed at one end of the glass along the first direction of the glass assembly. After the outer periphery of the glass is injection molded and edged, the edged edge exposes the joint. Then, one end of the trim panel is connected to the joint, making the trim panel and glass a single integrated structure. Since the other end of the trim panel has a sharp corner, and the shape and size of the sharp corner match the sharp corners of the holes in the body sheet metal, the trim panel can act as the sharp corner structure of the glass. The trim panel, glass, and edged edge have high assemblability and fit, ensuring light and shadow effects. The trim panel is readily available and easy to install. The glass does not need to be machined into a sharp corner structure, which greatly reduces the processing difficulty and cost, improves the manufacturing feasibility of the glass assembly, and ensures that the fragmentation test is qualified because the glass does not have a sharp corner structure.

[0051] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application illustrates a glass assembly 100 in one embodiment, specifically a corner window glass assembly. Of course, in other optional embodiments, the glass assembly 100 can also be a windshield assembly, a rear windshield assembly, etc., and can be flexibly selected according to actual needs.

[0052] For example, the glass assembly 100 includes glass 10, edging 20, and trim 40.

[0053] Glass 10 can be any of the following: single-pane glass, double-pane glass, multi-pane glass, etc. Alternatively, glass 10 can also be laminated glass. The specific choice depends on the actual needs.

[0054] Please continue reading. Figure 1 and Figure 3 The glass 10 has a joint 11 at one end along the first direction of the glass assembly 100.

[0055] The glass 10 has a trapezoidal shape, with the short side of the glass 10 serving as the joint 11. Alternatively, the glass 10 can be considered as a trapezoidal glass portion remaining after one of the sharp corners of a triangular piece of glass 10 has been cut off.

[0056] Please continue reading. Figure 1 It should be noted that the first direction mentioned specifically refers to the length direction of the glass assembly 100, that is... Figure 1 The direction of the middle arrow S1.

[0057] Please continue reading. Figure 1 and Figure 10 The edging 20 is installed on the glass 10 and exposes the joint 11; one end of the decorative panel 40 along the first direction is formed with a sharp corner 46, and the other end of the decorative panel 40 along the first direction is connected to the joint 11, so that the decorative panel 40 and the glass 10 are spliced ​​into an integral structure along the first direction.

[0058] More specifically, the edging 20 surrounds the outer periphery of the glass 10, and one end of the edging 20 along the first direction is provided with a blocking part 21. The blocking part 21 and the joint part 11 cooperate to form an installation space 30, and the decorative panel 40 is installed in the installation space 30.

[0059] As is easily understood, the pointed corner 46 is designed to accommodate the installation needs of the pointed corners of the holes on the body sheet metal.

[0060] The edging 20 can be integrally molded onto the outer periphery of the glass 10 using injection molding, and is used to install, position and protect the glass 10.

[0061] The retaining part 21 of the edging 20 is used to separate the trim panel 40 from the body sheet metal to prevent collision between the two. Of course, if a safety distance of more than 1.5mm is reserved between the trim panel 40 and the body sheet metal, the retaining part 21 of the edging 20 may not be provided. It can be flexibly selected according to actual needs.

[0062] For example, the material of the edging 20 can be, but is not limited to, TPE, PVC, etc.

[0063] In summary, implementing the technical solution of this embodiment will achieve the following beneficial effects: In the glass assembly 100 of this solution, considering the difficulty of processing the glass 10 into a sharp-cornered structure, a design that omits the sharp-cornered structure is adopted. Instead, a trim panel 40 is used to be spliced ​​with the glass 10 to meet the installation requirements of the holes with sharp corners in the body sheet metal. Specifically, a joint portion 11 is designed at one end of the glass 10 along the first direction of the glass assembly 100, so that after the outer periphery of the glass 10 is injection molded with the edge 20, the edge 20 exposes the joint portion 11. Then, one end of the trim panel 40 is connected to the joint portion 11, so that the trim panel 40 and the glass 10 are spliced ​​into an integral structure. Since the other end of the trim panel 40 forms a sharp corner portion 46, and the sharp corner... The shape and size of the sharp corners of the holes on the body sheet metal are adapted to the part 46. At the same time, the blocking part 21 can also cooperate with the joining part 11 to form an installation space 30. Then, the trim panel 40 is installed into the installation space 30, so that the trim panel 40 and the glass 10 are spliced ​​into an integral structure. In this way, the trim panel 40 can serve as the sharp corner structure of the glass 10. The trim panel 40, the glass 10 and the edge 20 have high assemblability and fit, and ensure the light and shadow effect. The trim panel 40 is easy to obtain and easy to install. The glass 10 does not need to be processed to have a sharp corner structure, which can greatly reduce the processing difficulty and cost, improve the manufacturing feasibility of the glass assembly 100, and ensure that the fragmentation test is qualified because the glass 10 does not have a sharp corner structure.

[0064] It is easy to understand that the shape and size of the enclosure 21 are adapted to the shape and size of the sharp corner 46 and the sharp corner of the hole on the body sheet metal to meet the assembly requirements.

[0065] It should be noted that the pointed corner 46 in this application is a triangular structure, but it can also be a trapezoidal, arc-shaped, or other structure, as long as it can match the shape and size of the pointed corner of the hole on the body sheet metal. Figure 1 As shown, the angle of the pointed corner 46 is an acute angle. In some other embodiments, the angle of the pointed corner can also be a right angle or an obtuse angle.

[0066] Please continue reading. Figure 1 and Figure 2 In addition, the edging 20 is provided with a protrusion 24, which cooperates with the guide rail for installing the sealing strip to achieve a sealed installation.

[0067] Please continue reading. Figure 1 ,as well as Figures 4 to 6 Based on the above embodiments, the glass 10 has a first exterior surface 12 facing outwards, and the trim panel 40 has a second exterior surface 41 facing outwards. The first exterior surface 12 and the second exterior surface 41 are arranged flush. This ensures the flushness of the glass 10 and the trim panel 40 after they are joined, thus ensuring the aesthetic appearance of the overall shape of the glass assembly 100.

[0068] It should be noted that "aligned arrangement" specifically means that the first exterior surface 12 and the second exterior surface 41 are on the same plane, and there is no height difference between them, the same applies below.

[0069] Furthermore, the trim panel 40 is provided with a splicing part 42 facing the joint 11, and a seam 43 is formed between the joint 11 and the splicing part 42. The edging 20 is also provided with a filling part 22, which is disposed in the seam 43.

[0070] In actual production, in order to reduce production difficulty and improve installability, the size of the decorative panel 40 is usually designed to be smaller than the size of the installation space 30. This results in a gap 43 of a certain size between the splicing part 42 of the decorative panel 40 and the joint part 11 of the glass 10 after the decorative panel 40 is installed in the installation space 30. By designing a filling part 22 for the edging 20, the filling part 22 is filled and set in the gap 43 to avoid visual gaps that affect the aesthetic appearance, and at the same time to prevent dust and other dirt from accumulating in the gap 43 and affecting cleanliness.

[0071] It should be noted that the filling part 22 has an outer surface 221 for facing outwards, and the outer surface 221 is flush with the first outer surface 12 and the second outer surface 41. In this way, the filling part 22 can avoid the visual abruptness caused by protruding from the first outer surface 12 and the second outer surface 41, and ensure the aesthetic appearance.

[0072] Please continue reading. Figure 6 Of course, while ensuring high dimensional accuracy in the processing of the trim panel 40, the trim panel 40 is provided with a splicing part 42 facing the joint 11, and the splicing part 42 abuts against the joint 11. That is, after the trim panel 40 is installed in the installation space 30, the splicing part 42 can directly and tightly fit with the joint 11, thus realizing direct splicing of the trim panel 40 and the glass 10, avoiding the formation of seams 43, ensuring an aesthetically pleasing appearance, and also reducing the processing difficulty and structural complexity of the edging 20.

[0073] For example, the edge of the joint 11 has an arc-shaped protrusion structure, and the corresponding splicing part 42 adopts a concave structure that matches the joint 11. The protrusion structure and the concave structure are fitted together to improve the stability and reliability of the splicing part.

[0074] Of course, in other alternative embodiments, the splicing part 42 may adopt a protruding structure and the joining part 11 may adopt a recessed structure; or the splicing part 42 and the joining part 11 may adopt other structurally stable connection structures, all of which are within the protection scope of this application and will not be elaborated here.

[0075] Please continue reading. Figure 3Furthermore, based on any of the above embodiments, the splicing portion 42 is recessed inward on the end facing the glass 10, forming a notch 421. The notch 421 is used to avoid the joint portion 11. In actual production, due to the requirements of shape and structural performance, the splicing portion 42 of the decorative panel 40 has a certain thickness design requirement. At the same time, it is limited by the installation space. In this case, by designing the notch 421 in the splicing portion 42, the joint portion 11 can be smoothly inserted into the notch 421, thereby avoiding interference problems between the installation of the decorative panel 40 and the glass 10.

[0076] Furthermore, the trim panel 40 is also provided with a support portion 44, which extends a splicing portion 42 towards the glass 10, so that the support portion 44 and the joint portion 11 are stacked along the second direction of the glass assembly 100. The stacking of the support portion 44 and the joint portion 11 of the glass 10 along the second direction of the glass assembly 100 increases the contact area between the glass 10 and the trim panel 40, which helps to improve the support and positioning effect and the structural stability after installation.

[0077] The second direction specifically refers to the thickness direction of the glass assembly 100, i.e. Figure 4 The direction of arrow S2 in the diagram.

[0078] Please continue reading. Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 10 Furthermore, in another embodiment, the glass assembly 100 further includes a first mounting member 50. The glass 10 also has a first back surface 13 for facing the interior of the vehicle. The first mounting member 50 is mounted on the first back surface 13, and the support portion 44 is recessed to form a notch 441, in which the first mounting member 50 is disposed. On the one hand, the first mounting member 50 is used for assembly with the vehicle body sheet metal to achieve the installation and fixation of the glass 10 on the vehicle body sheet metal, thereby ensuring the overall installation stability of the glass assembly 100. On the other hand, by machining the notch 441 on the support portion 44, the notch 441 accommodates the first mounting member 50, so that when the first mounting member 50 and the trim panel 40 are placed into the mold separately during actual processing, it is not necessary to fix the order of their placement, which helps to reduce production difficulty.

[0079] Preferably, considering the large size of the glass 10, in order to install the glass 10 more securely, multiple first mounting members 50 are provided. The multiple first mounting members 50 are distributed on the first back surface 13 of the glass 10, and the multiple first mounting members 50 can form a multi-point installation positioning for the glass 10 and the glass assembly 100.

[0080] For example, the first mounting component 50 may be, but is not limited to, a nail post.

[0081] like Figure 3As shown, in another embodiment, the glass assembly 100 further includes a second mounting member 60, and the trim panel 40 also has a second back surface 45 for facing the interior of the vehicle, on which the second mounting member 60 is mounted. The second mounting member 60 is used for assembly with the body sheet metal to achieve the installation and fixation of the trim panel 40 on the body sheet metal, thereby ensuring the overall stability of the glass assembly 100.

[0082] It should be noted that the specific installation methods of the first mounting component 50 and the glass 10, as well as the second mounting component 60 and the decorative panel 40, can be any one or at least a combination of two of them, such as screw connection, snap connection, or adhesive connection. The appropriate method can be selected flexibly according to actual needs.

[0083] For example, the second mounting component 60 may be, but is not limited to, a nail post.

[0084] In this application, the material used for the trim panel 40 can be, but is not limited to, acrylic, PMMA, PMMA+ASA, etc. Therefore, the trim panel 40 has a certain degree of hardness but is also relatively brittle. During the installation of the glass assembly 100 onto the body sheet metal, if the trim panel 40 collides with the body sheet metal due to carelessness, there is a risk that the trim panel 40 may crack or be damaged.

[0085] Please continue reading. Figure 3 To address the aforementioned issues, in one optional embodiment of this application, a supporting boss 23 protrudes from the edge 20 corresponding to the portion of the trim panel 40 along the second direction of the glass assembly 100. The trim panel 40 has a mating through hole, and the supporting boss 23 passes through the mating through hole and protrudes from the second back surface 45. With this configuration, when the glass assembly 100 is installed onto the body sheet metal, the supporting boss 23 will abut against the body sheet metal. The material of the supporting boss 23 has a certain degree of flexibility and elasticity, thereby preventing the trim panel 40 from contacting and colliding with the body sheet metal, avoiding damage and abnormal noise caused by collisions.

[0086] Preferably, multiple through holes are provided and distributed on the trim panel 40, and correspondingly multiple support bosses 23 are also provided and assembled one-to-one with the through holes. Multiple support bosses 23 can simultaneously abut against the body sheet metal to prevent the glass assembly 100 from tilting, ensuring that a uniform and effective safe distance is formed between the trim panel 40 and the body sheet metal, and ensuring the safety of the trim panel 40.

[0087] In this application, the trim panel 40 is readily available and highly adaptable, allowing for additional functional designs tailored to different users or vehicle models. For example, in an optional embodiment, the trim panel 40 has a second exterior surface 41 facing outwards, and the second exterior surface 41 is provided with an identification portion.

[0088] Specifically, the logo can be high gloss or have a special appearance treatment (such as partial leather texture or special text etching) to meet diverse personalization needs, improve the overall aesthetics of the vehicle, and achieve a better visual effect.

[0089] Alternatively, in another alternative embodiment, the trim panel 40 has a second exterior surface 41 for facing outwards, and the interior of the trim panel 40 has a receiving portion in which functional components are disposed.

[0090] For example, functional components can be, but are not limited to, light-emitting components, display components, unlocking components, etc., to enrich the functions of the whole vehicle and meet personalized needs.

[0091] Please continue reading. Figure 1 and Figure 10 Furthermore, based on any of the above embodiments, the glass assembly 100 also includes a decorative element 70, which is mounted on the edging 20. By adding the decorative element 70 to the edging 20, the aesthetic appeal can be further enhanced.

[0092] Specifically, the decorative component 70 includes a connector 71 and a bright trim strip 72. The bright trim strip 72 is connected to the connector 71 and is located on the side of the edging 20 facing outwards, serving a decorative and aesthetic purpose. One end of the connector 71 is connected to the edging 20, and the other end is used to connect to the corresponding bodywork component, keeping the bodywork component flush with the bright trim strip 72, thus serving a connection and positioning function.

[0093] For example, the connector 71 and the edging 20 can be integrally molded using injection molding. In this case, part of the connector 71 is covered inside the edging 20, resulting in high bonding strength, saving space, and improving the reliability of the connection between the decorative part 70 and the edging 20.

[0094] Furthermore, to improve the installation stability and reliability of the decorative element 70, the glass assembly 100 also includes an adhesive element 80, which is disposed on the edging 20. The bright trim strip 72 is bonded and fixed to the edging 20 by the adhesive element 80. The adhesive element 80 can be, but is not limited to, double-sided tape, glue, PU adhesive, etc.

[0095] Please continue reading. Figure 1 and Figure 10 It should be noted that the edging 20 in this application also includes a protrusion 24 and an insert 90. The protrusion 24 is used to define the position of the sealing strip of the upper part. The insert 90 serves as the skeleton of the edging 20 to increase the structural strength of the edging 20, and is also used to assemble the sealing strip of the upper part. The edging 20 has holes for mating with the sealing strip of the upper part.

[0096] When manufacturing the glass assembly 100, it can be manufactured using a process where the glass 10, trim panel 40, connector 71, insert 90, first mounting part 50, second mounting part 60, and edging 20 are integrally injection molded, and then the bright trim strip 72 is assembled. Alternatively, it can also be manufactured using a process where the glass 10, trim panel 40, connector 71, insert 90, first mounting part 50, second mounting part 60, edging 20, and bright trim strip 72 are integrally injection molded. The appropriate process can be chosen flexibly according to actual needs.

[0097] Please continue reading. Figures 7 to 9 It should also be noted that the trim panel 40 arranged at the corner of the glass assembly 100 actually serves as a skeleton for the edge banding 20 in the corner area, strengthening the pressure resistance of the edge banding 20 and the trim panel 40 at the corner.

[0098] In an optional embodiment, the bright trim 72 includes a separate first trim 721 and a second trim 722. The edging 20 has a first side and a second side arranged opposite to each other in a third direction along the glass assembly 100. The first trim 721 is mounted on the first side, and the second trim 722 is mounted on the second side. This arrangement makes the first trim 721 and the second trim 722 smaller and lighter, facilitating installation and reducing packaging and transportation costs.

[0099] In this context, "third-party direction" specifically refers to the width direction of the glass assembly 100, i.e. Figure 1 The direction of the middle arrow S3.

[0100] After the first trim strip 721 and the second trim strip 722 are installed, one end of the first trim strip 721 is close to or in contact with one end of the second trim strip 722 so as to more effectively cover the edging 20 and prevent the edging 20 from being exposed and affecting the aesthetics.

[0101] Alternatively, as an alternative implementation, the decorative element 70 and the decorative panel 40 are connected as a single unit, and the decorative element 70 and the decorative panel 40 cooperate to form an installation cavity, in which the edging 20 and the glass 10 are assembled. The integrated structure of the decorative element 70 and the decorative panel 40 reduces the amount of materials and installation steps, while improving the degree of integration. The edging 20 and the glass 10 are directly installed into the installation cavity, making the installation method simple and highly manufacturable.

[0102] In addition to the above, this application also provides a vehicle including a body and a glass assembly 100 as described in any of the above embodiments, the glass assembly 100 being mounted on the body.

[0103] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0104] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
