Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle component technology, and more particularly to a window breaking assembly and a vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] In modern automotive design, safety and convenience are two crucial considerations. However, despite automakers' continuous efforts to improve vehicle safety, unexpected situations can still occur, such as a vehicle falling into water or doors becoming deformed and unable to be opened due to an accident. In such cases, window breakers become an important safety tool, enabling occupants to escape quickly.
[0003] Traditional window breaker tools are typically designed as small handheld tools, and some car models have special brackets installed or attached inside the vehicle to secure them. However, installing these brackets can negatively impact the aesthetics of the car's interior. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the present application provides a window breaker assembly and a vehicle. By integrating the window breaker into a storage device, the safety and ease of use of the window breaker are taken into account, while avoiding the window breaker being exposed inside the vehicle, which helps to improve the aesthetics of the vehicle interior.
[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a window-breaking assembly for a vehicle, comprising:
[0006] A storage device, disposed in the vehicle, the storage device comprising a housing having a receiving cavity having an opening in a first direction; a window breaker detachably disposed in the receiving cavity via the opening in the first direction; a locking assembly for locking the window breaker in the receiving cavity; and a locking engagement assembly cooperating with the locking assembly to unlock the window breaker.
[0007] This utility model discloses a window breaker assembly that houses the window breaker within a storage device on the vehicle, preventing it from being exposed inside the vehicle and improving its aesthetics. When the window breaker is needed, the user can quickly retrieve it to break the window and escape by unlocking the locking assembly, ensuring ease of use and thus enhancing vehicle safety.
[0008] In some embodiments, the locking assembly includes a locking bracket, the locking bracket comprising: a bracket body slidably disposed in the receiving cavity along a first direction, and a mounting base fixedly connected to the bracket body, the mounting base including a fixing member extending along the first direction, the window breaker being detachably mounted to the mounting base via the fixing member.
[0009] The window breaker can be detachably installed on the mounting base by means of fasteners, which helps to prevent the window breaker from accidentally falling off during vehicle operation. At the same time, it ensures that the window breaker can be quickly taken out and used when needed, providing reliable safety for vehicle occupants.
[0010] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the window breaker has a groove on its peripheral wall, and the fixing member has an elastic latch at one end facing the opening. When the window breaker is installed on the locking bracket, the elastic latch abuts against the inner wall of the groove. An elastic member is provided in the receiving cavity, and the elastic member is used to apply a force to the bracket body in the first direction toward the outside of the opening. The locking engagement assembly includes an abutment member, which is disposed in the receiving cavity. In the first direction, the abutment member is located between the elastic latch and the opening. When the locking bracket has a tendency to move in the first direction toward the outside of the opening, the abutment member abuts against the elastic latch and applies a force to the elastic latch in the second direction, so that the elastic latch disengages from the inner wall of the groove.
[0011] In this way, when the user needs to use the window breaker, he / she only needs to press the window breaker from the opening and move it away from the opening. The elastic element accumulates potential energy to make the locking bracket move in the opposite direction. After releasing the hand, the elastic element applies an elastic force to the locking bracket towards the opening. After the elastic element returns to its original position, under the action of inertia, the abutment part abuts against the elastic latch, so that the elastic latch unlocks the window breaker. Unlocking is convenient and quick, and the user can easily take the window breaker.
[0012] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the window breaking assembly further includes: a limiting rod, the limiting rod having a first end facing away from the opening and a second end facing the opening along a first direction, the first end being connected to the inner wall of the receiving cavity, a limiting annular groove being defined within the bracket body, the second end being slidably disposed in the limiting annular groove, the limiting annular groove having a first position and a second position along the first direction, when the second end is located in the first position, the window breaker and the locking bracket are housed in the receiving cavity, and when the second end is located in the second position, the abutment member abuts against the elastic latch to unlock the window breaker.
[0013] The combination of a limiting rod and a limiting ring groove provides a reliable mechanical limiting and unlocking mechanism. When the window breaker needs to be used, the user can slide the main body of the bracket to move the second end of the limiting rod from the first position to the second position, automatically triggering the unlocking process. This design not only ensures the safe storage of the window breaker when not in use, but also greatly simplifies the operation steps in emergency situations, improving efficiency and safety.
[0014] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the receiving cavity is provided with a guide extending in a first direction, and the locking bracket is guided and engaged with the guide; and / or, the limiting ring groove is provided with an anti-reverse structure, which is used to prevent the second end from sliding in the opposite direction.
[0015] By incorporating guide components within the receiving cavity, the reliability of the locking bracket's operation is improved, thereby ensuring the reliability of the window breaker's retrieval process. Furthermore, by installing an anti-reverse structure within the limiting groove, reverse sliding of the second end is prevented, avoiding excessive or incomplete movement of the locking bracket, further enhancing the reliability of the window breaker's unlocking process.
[0016] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the locking assembly includes: an electromagnetic device located on the inner wall of the housing opposite to the opening; a control device disposed in the vehicle and electrically connected to the electromagnetic device, the control device being used to control the energizing state of the electromagnetic device; the locking engagement assembly includes a magnetic engagement component disposed at one end of the window breaker facing the electromagnetic device.
[0017] The control device controls the energization state of the electromagnetic device, enabling the battery device and the magnetic coupling to magnetically attract / disengage, thus allowing users to quickly and easily access the window breaker.
[0018] According to some embodiments of the present invention, there are two electromagnetic devices, and the polarities of the two electromagnetic devices facing the magnetic attraction component are opposite; the control device is electrically connected to the two electromagnetic devices respectively; and / or, the control device is connected to a collision sensor.
[0019] The window breaker is installed stably by using two electromagnetic devices in conjunction with a magnetic cladding component. When one electromagnetic device, which has the opposite polarity to the magnetic cladding component, is energized, the window breaker is stably installed due to the attraction between opposite polarities. When the other electromagnetic device is energized, the electromagnetic device and the magnetic cladding component repel each other, and the window breaker pops out for easy access by the user.
[0020] In some embodiments, the window breaker includes: a grip portion detachably inserted into the receiving cavity from the opening; and a window-breaking head located at one end of the grip portion opposite to the opening.
[0021] The well-designed grip and window breaker head ensure that users can quickly and effectively use the window breaker to escape in an emergency.
[0022] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the window breaker further includes: a cutter located at one end of the grip portion opposite to the window breaker head along a first direction, the cutter being covered by a protective cover, the protective cover being detachably connected to the grip portion.
[0023] By integrating a cutter and protective cover into the window breaker, users can not only break car window glass with the window breaker head, but also cut obstacles such as seat belts with the cutter, thereby improving the efficiency and safety of escape.
[0024] Secondly, embodiments of this application also provide a vehicle, including: the aforementioned window breaking assembly, wherein the window breaking assembly is disposed inside the vehicle; and / or, wherein the window breaking assembly is disposed outside the vehicle.
[0025] This utility model provides a flexible installation location for the window-breaking assembly to meet different emergency needs. Whether installed inside or outside the vehicle, the window-breaking assembly can function effectively in critical moments, improving the overall safety of the vehicle and the escape efficiency of occupants.

[0050] Traditional window breaker tools are typically designed as small handheld tools, and some car models have special brackets installed or attached inside the vehicle to secure them. However, installing these brackets can negatively impact the aesthetics of the car's interior.
[0051] In view of this, the present application provides a window breaker assembly and a vehicle. By integrating the window breaker into a storage device, the safety and ease of use of the window breaker are taken into account, while avoiding the window breaker being exposed inside the vehicle, which helps to improve the aesthetics of the vehicle interior.
[0052] refer to Figures 1 to 9 In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a window breaking assembly 100 for use in a vehicle 200. The window breaking assembly 100 may include a storage device 110, a window breaker 120, a locking assembly 130, and a locking engagement assembly 140.
[0053] A storage device 110 is disposed in the vehicle 200. The storage device 110 includes a housing 111, which has a receiving cavity 112. The receiving cavity 112 has an opening 113 along a first direction. The window breaker 120 is detachably disposed in the receiving cavity 112 along the first direction through the opening 113. The housing 111 provides a storage structure in which the window breaker 120 is stored in the receiving cavity 112 under normal conditions, avoiding exposure inside the vehicle and improving the aesthetics of the vehicle interior. The storage device 110 can be located in a user-accessible location inside the vehicle, such as the inner door panel, pillar panel, or seat, so that the user can quickly access the window breaker 120 in an emergency.
[0054] The locking assembly 130 is used to lock the window breaker 120 into the receiving cavity 112; the locking engagement assembly 140 engages with the locking assembly 130 to unlock the window breaker 120. For example, the locking assembly 130 may include a locking sleeve disposed in the receiving cavity 112, the locking sleeve having an axis extending in a first direction and an internal thread on the inner wall of the locking sleeve. The locking engagement assembly 140 may include an external thread disposed on the outer wall of the window breaker 120. The window breaker 120 and the locking sleeve are threadedly engaged, and the user can remove the window breaker 120 from the opening 113 by rotation. Alternatively, the locking assembly 130 can be a limiting member of the elastic clamp or clip window breaker 120 (such as the elastic latch 1312b described below), and the locking engagement assembly 140 can be a mating member (such as the abutment member 141 described below) disposed within the receiving cavity 112. The user can press the window breaker 120 from the opening 113. During the movement of the window breaker 120, the mating member disengages the limiting member from the window breaker 120, making operation convenient and quick. Alternatively, the locking assembly 130 can be a magnetic attracting member (such as a magnet or electromagnet) disposed within the receiving cavity 112, and the locking engagement member can be a mating member (such as a magnet or iron piece) disposed on the window breaker 120 that engages with the magnetic attracting member. Through the magnetic attraction between the magnetic attracting member and the mating member, the window breaker 120 is stably installed. When the window breaker 120 needs to be used, the user only needs to apply a force exceeding the magnetic attraction force to pull out the window breaker 120, making it convenient to use.
[0055] Understandably, in this embodiment, the first direction can be the direction of movement of the window breaker 120 when the user stores or retrieves it, for example, Figure 1 The X direction is shown.
[0056] The window breaker assembly 100 of this utility model houses the window breaker 120 within a storage device 110 on the vehicle 200, preventing the window breaker 120 from being exposed inside the vehicle and improving its aesthetics. When the window breaker 120 is needed, the user can quickly retrieve it to break the window and escape by unlocking the locking assembly 140 and the locking assembly 130, ensuring the ease of use of the window breaker 120 and thus improving the safety of the vehicle 200.
[0057] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the locking assembly 130 may include a locking bracket 131, which may include a bracket body 1311 and a mounting base 1312.
[0058] The support body 1311 is slidably disposed in the receiving cavity 112 along the first direction, so that the position of the support body 1311 can be adjusted when needed to facilitate the installation or removal of the window breaker 120. The support body 1311 can be slidably installed on the guide rail or slide groove in the receiving groove, thereby improving the stability of the support body 1311 in the receiving cavity 112.
[0059] The mounting base 1312 is fixedly connected to the bracket body 1311. For example, the mounting base 1312 and the bracket body 1311 can be integrally formed, or the mounting base 1312 and the bracket body 1311 can be fixed by welding.
[0060] Mounting base 1312 includes a fastener 1312a extending in a first direction. Window breaker 120 is detachably mounted to mounting base 1312 via fastener 1312a. For example, fastener 1312a can be a snap-fit or a clamp. Fastener 1312a ensures the stability of window breaker 120 in non-use state, while allowing the user to remove window breaker 120 for use in an emergency.
[0061] The window breaker 120 is detachably mounted on the mounting base 1312 by means of the fastener 1312a on the mounting base 1312, which helps to prevent the window breaker 120 from accidentally falling off during the driving of the vehicle 200. At the same time, it ensures that the window breaker 120 can be quickly taken out and used when needed, providing reliable safety protection for the occupants of the vehicle 200.
[0062] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the window breaker 120 has a groove 120a on its peripheral wall, and the fixing member 1312a has an elastic latch 1312b at one end facing the opening 113. When the window breaker 120 is installed on the locking bracket 131, the elastic latch 1312b abuts against the inner wall of the groove 120a, thereby achieving a stable fixation of the window breaker 120.
[0063] An elastic element 150 is provided inside the receiving cavity 112. The elastic element 150 is used to apply a force to the support body 1311 in a first direction toward the opening 113. For example, the elastic element 150 can be provided on the side of the support body 1311 away from the opening 113 to apply an elastic force toward the opening 113 to the support body 1311. Alternatively, the elastic element 150 can also be provided on the side of the support body 1311 toward the opening 113. When the user presses the window breaker 120, the support body 1311 slides together, and the elastic element 150 has a tendency to reset, applying a pulling force toward the opening 113 to the locking bracket 131. Therefore, both ends of the elastic element 150 need to be connected to the inner wall of the housing 111 and the support body 1311 respectively to ensure the stability of the elastic force applied to the support body 1311.
[0064] Optionally, in this embodiment, the elastic element 150 can be a spring, rubber sleeve, or other structure to reduce equipment costs.
[0065] The locking engagement assembly 140 may include an abutment 141 disposed in the receiving cavity 112. Along the first direction, the abutment 141 is located between the elastic latch 1312b and the opening 113. When the locking bracket 131 has a tendency to move outward toward the opening 113 along the first direction, the abutment 141 abuts against the elastic latch 1312b and applies a force toward the elastic latch 1312b in the second direction, so that the elastic latch 1312b disengages from the inner wall of the groove 120a. For example, the engagement between the abutment 141 and the elastic latch 1312b can be as follows: the portion of the elastic latch 1312b that engages with the inner wall of the groove 120a extends outside the groove 120a, while the abutment 141 is located within the receiving cavity 112. During the travel of the locking bracket 131, the abutment 141 and the elastic latch 1312b interfere with each other, causing the elastic latch 1312b to disengage from the inner wall of the groove 120a. One of the abutment 141 and the elastic latch 1312b may be provided with a guide slope, and the other abuts against the guide slope, causing the elastic latch 1312b to be subjected to a force along a second direction, disengaging the abutment 141 from the groove 120a and unlocking the window breaker 120.
[0066] Understandably, the locking bracket 131 drives the window breaker 120 to move along the first direction. When the elastic latch 1312b is subjected to the force of the abutment member 141 along the second direction, it disengages from the groove 120a. The second direction can be perpendicular to the first direction, or the second direction can form an angle of less than 90° with the first direction.
[0067] Thus, when the user needs to use the window breaker 120, they only need to press the window breaker 120 from the opening 113 and move it away from the opening 113. The elastic element 150 accumulates potential energy to make the locking bracket 131 move in the opposite direction. After releasing, the elastic element 150 applies an elastic force to the locking bracket 131 towards the opening 113. After the elastic element 150 returns to its original position, under the action of inertia, the abutment 141 abuts against the elastic latch 1312b, so that the elastic latch 1312b unlocks the window breaker 120. Unlocking is convenient and quick, and the user can easily take the window breaker 120.
[0068] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the window breaking assembly 100 may further include a limiting rod 160. The limiting rod 160 includes a first end 161 and a second end 162. The first end 161 is located on the side of the limiting rod 160 facing away from the opening 113 along a first direction, and the second end 162 is located on the side of the limiting rod 160 facing the opening 113 in the first direction.
[0069] The first end 161 is connected to the inner wall of the receiving cavity 112. For example, the first end 161 can be rotatably connected to the inner wall of the receiving cavity 112 via a pivot or pin. A limiting annular groove 13111 is defined within the bracket body 1311, and the second end 162 is slidably disposed in the limiting annular groove 13111. For example, a portion of the structure of the second end 162 extends into the limiting annular groove 13111 and slides along the limiting annular groove 13111. Alternatively, the second end 162 can also be connected to a slider, which slides along the limiting annular groove 13111.
[0070] The limiting ring groove 13111 has a first position 13111a and a second position 13111b along a first direction. When the second end 162 is in the first position 13111a, the window breaker 120 and the locking bracket 131 are housed in the receiving cavity 112. When the second end 162 is in the second position 13111b, the abutment 141 abuts against the elastic latch 1312b to unlock the window breaker 120.
[0071] Understandably, to facilitate the disassembly and installation of the window breaker 120, a limiting annular groove 13111 is formed within the bracket body 1311. The second end 162 of the limiting rod 160 circulates within the limiting annular groove 13111, thereby limiting the locking bracket 131 at its extreme positions at both ends. When the second end 162 is in the first position 13111a, the window breaker 120 and the locking bracket 131 are at the position furthest from the opening 113, avoiding interference and collision between the locking bracket 131 and the inner wall of the receiving cavity 112. When the second end 162 is in the second position 13111b, the locking bracket 131 is at the position closest to the opening 113. Through the limiting annular groove 13111 and the limiting rod 160 bracket limiting cooperation, the locking bracket 131 is prevented from coming out of the opening 113, which helps to improve the structural reliability of the window breaker assembly 100. The limiting annular groove 13111 may have a first segment 13111c and a second segment 131111d arranged in parallel. Both the first segment 13111c and the second segment 131111d extend along a first direction. The two ends of the first segment 13111c and the second segment 131111d are connected respectively. The first position 13111a and the second position 13111b are located at the connection position of the first segment 13111c and the second position 131111d respectively. The second end 162 can move cyclically between the first position 13111a and the second position 13111b along the limiting annular groove 13111.
[0072] The limiting rod 160 and the limiting ring groove 13111 work together to provide a reliable mechanical limiting and unlocking mechanism. When the user needs to use the window breaker 120, they can slide the locking bracket 131 to move the second end 162 of the limiting rod 160 to the first position 13111a, automatically triggering the unlocking process. After the force is removed, under the action of the elastic element 150, the window breaker 120 and the locking bracket 131 move together to the second position 13111b, unlocking the window breaker 120. This design not only ensures the safe storage of the window breaker 120 when not in use, but also greatly simplifies the operation steps in emergency situations, improving efficiency and safety.
[0073] Furthermore, at the first position 13111a, the first segment 13111c and the second segment 131111d are connected by a transition segment 13111e. The transition segment 13111e is recessed towards the second position 13111b. A locking position is formed on the transition segment 13111e, which is spaced apart from the first position 13111a along the first direction. When the second end 162 is in the locking position, the elastic member 150 has elastic potential energy that causes the locking bracket 131 to move toward the opening 113. At this time, part of the structure of the second end 162 of the locking rod abuts against the transition segment 13111e, so that the locking bracket 131 and the window breaker 120 are housed in the receiving cavity 112.
[0074] The unlocking process of the window-breaking assembly 100 of this application is illustrated below with a specific embodiment:
[0075] In the initial state, the window breaker 120 is mounted on the locking bracket 131 via the elastic latch 1312b engaging with the groove 120a. The elastic element 150 applies a pulling force to the locking bracket 131 toward the opening 113, and the second end 162 of the locking lever abuts against the transition section 13111e. At this time, the window breaker 120 and the locking bracket 131 are housed within the receiving groove. When an emergency requires the use of the window breaker 120, the user presses the window breaker 120 inward, and the second end 162 of the limiting lever 160 moves to the first position 13111a. After the user releases the lever, under the action of the elastic element 150, the locking bracket 131 moves toward the opening 113. During the movement, the abutment 141 abuts against the elastic latch 1312b, unlocking the window breaker 120 and allowing it to disengage from the opening 113 for easy use.
[0076] During the unlocking process, the second end 162 of the locking lever moves along the second segment 131111d to the second position 13111b. When it is necessary to encapsulate the window breaker 120 into the receiving cavity 112, the user only needs to install the window breaker 120 onto the locking bracket 131 along the opening 113 and apply a force away from the opening 113 in the first direction. The second end 162 of the locking lever moves along the first segment 13111c to the first position 13111a, while the window breaker 120 is installed on the locking bracket 131. After it is in place, it is released. Under the pulling force of the elastic element 150, the second end 162 slides onto the transition segment 13111e and abuts against the inner wall of the transition segment 13111e, so that the locking bracket 131 with the window breaker 120 is fixed in the receiving cavity 112.
[0077] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the receiving cavity 112 is provided with a guide member 112a extending in a first direction, and the locking bracket 131 is guided and engaged with the guide member 112a. For example, the guide member 112a may be a guide post extending in the first direction, and the locking bracket 131 is slidably installed on the guide post so that the locking bracket 131 and the guide member 112a are guided and engaged.
[0078] Alternatively, the guide 112a can also be a guide groove extending along the first direction, with a portion of the locking bracket 131 slidably mounted within the guide groove to provide a guiding fit between the locking bracket 131 and the guide 112a. By providing the guide 112a within the receiving cavity 112, the reliability of the locking bracket 131's operation is improved, thereby ensuring the reliability of the window breaker 120's retrieval process.
[0079] In some embodiments, an anti-reverse structure may be provided in the limiting annular groove 13111 to prevent the second end 162 from sliding in the opposite direction. For example, the anti-reverse structure may be a boss in the limiting annular groove 13111, which may be located at the connection between the first segment 13111c and the second segment 131111d, forming an anti-reverse structure with a height difference to prevent the locking bracket 131 from moving in the opposite direction. Alternatively, the anti-reverse structure may be a telescopic spring in the limiting annular groove 13111. In the direction of movement of the second end 162, the telescopic spring has a mating inclined surface. The surface of the telescopic spring opposite to the mating inclined surface is a limiting abutment surface. When the second end 162 passes through, the second end 162 abuts against the mating inclined surface, compressing the telescopic spring to retract. After the second end 162 passes the telescopic spring, the telescopic spring extends. When the second end 162 moves in the opposite direction, the second end 162 abuts against the limiting abutment surface, at which point the telescopic spring cannot retract, preventing the second end 162 from moving in the opposite direction.
[0080] By setting an anti-reverse structure in the limiting groove, the second end 162 is prevented from sliding in the opposite direction, and the locking bracket 131 is prevented from moving too much or not moving in place, which helps to further improve the reliability of the unlocking process of the window breaker 120.
[0081] refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 According to some embodiments of this utility model, the locking assembly 130 may include an electromagnetic device 132 and a control device 133. The electromagnetic device 132 is located on the inner wall of the housing 111 opposite to the opening 113. The control device 133 is located in the vehicle 200 and is electrically connected to the electromagnetic device 132. The control device 133 controls the energization state of the electromagnetic device 132. When the control device 133 controls the electromagnetic device 132 to be energized, the electromagnetic device 132 is magnetic; when the control device 133 controls the electromagnetic device 132 to be de-energized, the electromagnetic device 132 is not magnetic. The control device 133 may be a vehicle control unit (VCU), allowing the user to control the energization state of the electromagnetic device 132 via a display screen inside the vehicle. Alternatively, the control device 133 may be a mechanical button located inside the vehicle, allowing the user to control the energization state of the electromagnetic device 132 via the mechanical button.
[0082] The locking assembly 140 may include a magnetic engagement member 142, which is located at the end of the window breaker 120 facing the electromagnetic device 132. In this way, the user can control the energized state of the electromagnetic device 132 and achieve magnetic engagement between the magnetic engagement member 142 and the electromagnetic device 132 to stably house the window breaker 120 in the housing 111 (or easily remove it from the housing 111).
[0083] Understandably, in this embodiment, the magnetic attraction component 142 can be a magnet, or it can be an iron component. When the electromagnetic device 132 is energized, the magnetic attraction component 142 can magnetically engage with the electromagnetic device 132.
[0084] According to some embodiments of this utility model, there can be two electromagnetic devices 132, with opposite polarities at the ends of the two electromagnetic devices 132 facing the magnetic coupling member 142. The control device 133 is electrically connected to both electromagnetic devices 132. Exemplarily, the electromagnetic device 132 can be a double-layer coil, wherein the winding directions of the double-layer coils are opposite. By energizing different coils, the polarities of the two electromagnetic devices 132 at the same end are opposite. Alternatively, the electromagnetic device 132 can also be two electromagnets, with opposite polarities at the ends facing the opening 113 when the two electromagnets are arranged.
[0085] In this embodiment, the magnetic coupling component 142 can be a magnet. The control device 133 energizes different electromagnetic devices 132 to make them magnetic. Through the cooperation of two electromagnetic devices 132 with the magnetic coupling component 142, when one electromagnetic device 132 with the opposite polarity to the magnetic coupling component 142 is energized, the window breaker 120 is stably installed due to the attraction between opposite poles. When the other electromagnetic device 132 is energized, the electromagnetic device 132 and the magnetic coupling component 142 repel each other, and the window breaker 120 pops out. This allows the window breaker 120 to be stored in the receiving cavity 112 or popped out from the receiving cavity 112, which is beneficial for users to conveniently and quickly retrieve the window breaker 120.
[0086] refer to Figure 7 In some embodiments, the control device 133 may be connected to a collision sensor 134. The collision sensor 134 is used to collect collision signals of the vehicle 200. When the vehicle 200 is involved in an emergency collision, the collision sensor 134 collects the collision signal, and the control device 133 generates a corresponding control signal to control an electromagnetic device 132 with the same polarity as the magnetic attraction component 142 to be energized. The window breaker 120 pops out automatically, which helps to improve the retrieval efficiency of the window breaker 120.
[0087] Combination Figure 7The circuit diagram illustrates one method of using the window breaker 120 according to a specific embodiment: When the collision sensor 134 detects a collision signal or the user inputs a pop-out signal to the controller, the control device 133 activates the circuit of the electromagnetic relay KM2, the normally open switch of the electromagnetic relay KM2 closes, and the electromagnetic device 132 with the same polarity as the magnetic attraction component 142 is energized, causing the window breaker 120 to pop out. When the control device 133 receives a reset signal, the control device 133 activates the circuit of the electromagnetic relay KM1, the normally open switch of the electromagnetic relay KM1 closes, and the electromagnetic device 132 with the opposite polarity to the magnetic attraction component 142 is energized, and the window breaker 120 is housed within the housing 111.
[0088] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the window breaker 120 may include a grip 121 and a window breaker head 122. The grip 121 is detachably inserted into the receiving cavity 112 from the opening 113, and the window breaker head 122 is located at one end of the grip 121 opposite to the opening 113. The detachable installation of the grip 121 may be achieved by a separable engagement between the elastic latch 1312b and the recess, or by a magnetic engagement between the electromagnetic device 132 disposed in the receiving cavity 112 and the magnetic engaging member 142 disposed in the grip 121.
[0089] Thus, the reasonable configuration of the grip 121 and the window breaker head 122 helps to ensure that users can quickly and effectively use the window breaker 120 to escape in an emergency.
[0090] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the window breaker 120 may further include: a cutter 123 located at one end of the grip 121 opposite to the window breaker head 122 along a first direction; the cutter 123 is covered by a protective cover 124, and the protective cover 124 is detachably connected to the grip 121. Exemplarily, the detachable installation of the protective cover 124 can be achieved by the protective cover 124 covering one end of the grip 121, or by a threaded engagement between the protective cover 124 and the grip 121.
[0091] By integrating a cutter 123 and a protective cover 124 into the window breaker 120, users can not only break car window glass with the window breaker head 122, but also cut obstacles such as seat belts with the cutter 123, thereby improving the efficiency and safety of escape.
[0092] refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9Secondly, this application also provides a vehicle 200. It should be noted that the vehicle 200 in this application can refer to a large vehicle, a small vehicle, a special-purpose vehicle, etc. For example, according to vehicle type, the vehicle in this application can be a sedan, an off-road vehicle, a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), or other types of vehicles. The vehicle 200 generally has wheels, a power source, and a transmission system between the wheels and the power source. The transmission system can transmit the power provided by the power source to the wheels, causing the wheels to rotate, thereby driving the vehicle 200.
[0093] It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the application, the type of power source of the vehicle 200 is not limited. For example, for a fuel-powered vehicle 200, the power source may refer to a fuel engine such as a gasoline engine or a diesel engine; for an electric vehicle 200, the power source may refer to an electric motor; for a hybrid electric vehicle 200, the power source may refer to an engine or an electric motor; for a vehicle 200 powered by other means, the power source may refer to a device that generates power.
[0094] Vehicle 200 may include the aforementioned window-breaking assembly 100, which is located inside the vehicle. For example, the window-breaking assembly 100 can be integrated into a location easily accessible to passengers, such as the armrest, pillar, or under the seat, for convenient access in emergencies. Alternatively, the window-breaking assembly 100 can be located outside the vehicle, such as on a pillar or the trunk door. In the event of driver unconsciousness and inability to rescue themselves, rescuers can use the window breaker 120 from the external window-breaking assembly 100 for assistance. Of course, the window-breaking assembly 100 can be installed both inside and outside the vehicle to facilitate self-rescue by occupants and rescue by external personnel.
[0095] The vehicle 200 of this utility model provides a flexible installation position for the window breaking assembly 100 to meet different emergency needs. Whether installed inside or outside the vehicle, the window breaking assembly 100 can play a role in critical moments, improving the overall safety of the vehicle 200 and the occupants' escape efficiency.
