Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to fixed window glass with dividers. Background Technology

[0002] As window glass installed in vehicle window frames, there are retractable glass and fixed glass that cannot be raised or lowered. When the retractable glass and the fixed glass are arranged adjacent to each other, it is known that a separator strip can be installed on the edge of the fixed glass, so that the retractable glass and the guide part of the separator strip can slide into contact (see Patent Document 1, etc.).

[0003] In addition, Patent Document 1 discloses a glass panel module comprising: a glass panel, an edge member fixed to at least one side of the outer edge of the glass panel adjacent to a lift window, a guide member fixed to the edge member in a manner extending along the aforementioned side, and a cover member fixed to the guide member in a manner facing outwards from the vehicle.

[0004] According to the glass plate module of Patent Document 1, by adopting a configuration in which the cover member with the appearance design is separated from the edge member and the guide member and then fixed to the edge member and the guide member, damage to the cover member is prevented during the forming of the edge member.

[0023] Hereinafter, embodiments of the fixed window glass with partition strips of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] In addition, in this manual, the terms "up", "down", "vertical", "horizontal", "inside the vehicle", "outside the vehicle", "front", and "rear" used to indicate direction and position refer to the terms "up", "down", "vertical", "horizontal", "inside the vehicle", "outside the vehicle", "front", and "rear" when a fixed window with a divider is installed in the vehicle.

[0025] Figure 1 The image shown is a left-side view of a vehicle 100 equipped with a fixed window glass 10 with a separator strip according to the first embodiment. Furthermore, Figure 2 The image shows the... Figure 1 A magnified front view of the fixed window glass 10 with dividers.

[0026] As an example Figure 1 The fixed window glass 10 with a divider shown is applicable to the front quarter window glass and is installed in the window opening 104 of the front door 102 of the vehicle 100. Furthermore, a fixed window glass 10 with a divider is installed adjacent to the front side of the lift window glass 106 provided in the front door 102. This lift window glass 106 is connected to a lifting device (not shown) disposed inside the door panel 108 of the front door 102, and is moved up and down by a driving force from the lifting device to open and close the window opening 104.

[0027] Figure 3 As shown Figure 2 The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of the fixed window glass 10 with partition strips along line 3-3. Furthermore, in this embodiment, a single-pane glass plate is used as an example to illustrate the fixed window glass 12 constituting the fixed window glass 10 with partition strips.

[0028] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the fixed window glass 12 is generally triangular in the front view, having an exterior side 12A and an interior side 12B. It also has a horizontal portion 12C, a vertical portion 12D, and a beveled portion 12E forming the periphery of the fixed window glass 12. However, the fixed window glass 12 is not limited to this shape. For example, the beveled portion 12E may be curved rather than straight. Furthermore, the horizontal portion 12C is generally horizontal, and the vertical portion 12D is generally vertical.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the fixed window glass 10 with a separator strip has a separator strip 14. The separator strip 14 is installed along the vertical portion 12D located on the rear side of the fixed window glass 12.

[0030] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the partition strip 14 includes: a frame 16 fixed to the periphery of the fixed window glass 12, and a strip body 18 that can be installed from the outside of the vehicle relative to the frame 16. This partition strip 14 is a partition strip that is separated from the frame 16 and the strip body 18 is subsequently attached, and is constructed by installing the strip body 18 on the frame 16 fixed to the vertical portion 12D of the fixed window glass 12.

[0031] Here, frame 16 is an example of a first component that is a constituent element of the present invention, and strip body 18 is an example of a second component that is a constituent element of the present invention. Furthermore, the first component constituting the dividing strip is not limited to... Figure 2 The frame 16 shown may be, for example, a strip-shaped member fixed only along the vertical portion 12D. In the following description, the frame 16 will be described as the first member.

[0032] As an example, the fixed window glass 12 and the frame 16 are manufactured using a method known as MAW (registered trademark: Module AssyWindow). The MAW method involves integrally molding the frame 16, made of thermoplastic resin, around the periphery of the fixed window glass 12 using injection molding. Through this manufacturing method, the frame 16 is fixed to the fixed window glass 12 in a manner that clamps the periphery of the fixed window glass 12 along its thickness direction.

[0033] The fixed window glass 12 can be either inorganic glass or organic glass. For example, soda-lime glass, aluminosilicate glass, borosilicate glass, alkali-free glass, and quartz glass are not particularly limited to inorganic glass. Among these, soda-lime glass is particularly preferred from the perspectives of manufacturing cost and formability.

[0034] When the fixed window glass 12 is inorganic glass, it can be either unstrengthened glass or strengthened glass. As strengthened glass, it can be either air-strengthened glass or chemically strengthened glass. Unstrengthened glass is glass formed by forming molten glass into a sheet and then annealing it. Strengthened glass is glass in which a compressive stress layer is formed on the surface of unstrengthened glass. Strengthened glass can be either physically strengthened glass (e.g., air-strengthened glass) or chemically strengthened glass. In the case of physically strengthened glass, the glass surface can be strengthened by using the temperature difference between the glass surface and the interior of the glass to generate a compressive stress layer on the glass surface through operations other than annealing, such as rapidly cooling the uniformly heated glass sheet from a temperature near its softening point during bending. In the case of chemically strengthened glass, the glass surface can be strengthened by generating compressive stress on the glass surface after bending using methods such as ion exchange. Furthermore, glass that absorbs ultraviolet or infrared radiation can be used. Further, it is preferably transparent, but it can also be a colored glass sheet without compromising transparency.

[0035] When the fixed window glass 12 is made of plexiglass, materials for plexiglass include transparent resins such as polycarbonate, acrylic resin (e.g., polymethyl methacrylate), polyvinyl chloride, and polystyrene.

[0036] The fixed window glass 12 can be laminated glass consisting of two or more panes of glass bonded together with an interlayer. As an example, the interlayer of the laminated glass can be made of known films such as PVB (polyvinyl butyral) or EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate). The interlayer of the laminated glass can be transparent or tinted. Furthermore, there can be two or more interlayers.

[0037] When the fixed window glass 12 is installed in a vehicle, the fixed window glass 12 can be a curved shape that protrudes outward from the vehicle. The fixed window glass 12 can be a single curved shape that bends in only one direction, or a multi-curved shape that bends in two orthogonal directions.

[0038] The fixed window glass 12 can be bent and formed using gravity forming, pressure forming, roll forming, etc. There are no particular limitations on the forming method of the fixed window glass 12, but for example, in the case of inorganic glass, glass sheets formed by float glass or the like are preferred.

[0039] The thickness of the fixed window glass 12 is not particularly limited, but it is preferably 0.5mm or more and 5.0mm or less.

[0040] The material constituting the frame 16 can be a thermoplastic elastomer such as PP (polypropylene resin) or PVC (polyvinyl chloride). Alternatively, a thermoplastic elastomer containing fibers such as glass fiber or carbon fiber can be used. Furthermore, the first component is not limited to resin; it can also be made of metal such as aluminum.

[0041] The strip body 18 is configured as a strip and is mounted to the frame 16 from the outside of the vehicle in the manner described later. The strip body 18 may be made of resin, the same as the frame 16, or it may be made of metal such as aluminum.

[0042] In the above-described separation configuration, in order to suppress wind noise generated when the vehicle 100 is in motion, the fixed window glass 10 with a separator strip in the first embodiment has the following configuration.

[0043] That is, the partition strip 14 includes: a frame 16 fixed to the periphery of the fixed window glass 12, and a strip body 18 that can be installed from the outside of the vehicle relative to the frame 16. Furthermore, as... Figure 3 As shown, when the strip body 18 is installed on the frame 16, the outer side 14A of the partition strip 14 exposed on the outside of the vehicle is coplanar.

[0044] In addition, in this specification, "coplanar" means a smooth surface without any height difference, or a surface with a height difference of less than 1 mm, for example.

[0045] As described above, since the outer side surface 14A exposed on the outside of the vehicle is coplanar, when the vehicle 100 is in motion, the airflow flowing along the partition 14 flows smoothly along the coplanar outer side surface 14A because there are no obstacles such as height differences on the outer side surface 14A. Therefore, wind noise generated when the vehicle 100 is in motion can be prevented, or the generation of wind noise can be minimized.

[0046] In order to achieve the above-mentioned effects, the partition bar 14 of the first embodiment has the following specific configuration.

[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, the frame 16 has: a fixing part 20 fixed to the edge (vertical part 12D) of the fixed window glass 12, a connecting part 22 integral with the fixing part 20 and extending along the outer side 12A of the fixed window glass 12, and a first guide member 24 integral with the fixing part 20 and disposed on the inner side of the fixed window glass 12.

[0048] The fixing part 20 is configured in a U-shape in order to clamp the fixed window glass 12 in the thickness direction.

[0049] The joint 22 has an inner side 22A that fits tightly against the outer side 12A of the fixed window glass 12, and an outer side 22B with a recess 26. In a cross-sectional view, the joint 22 is curved towards the outer side 12A of the fixed window glass 12. That is, the outer side 22B of the joint 22 has a conical surface 22C.

[0050] The first guide member 24 has a protrusion 24A that protrudes from the fixing part 20 toward the inside of the vehicle and a protrusion 24B that protrudes from the protrusion 24A toward the rear (in the direction of arrow B), and the cross-section is L-shaped.

[0051] On the other hand, the main body 18 has: a main body 28 having an exterior design surface on the outer side 28A of the vehicle; a joined part 30 integral with the main body 28 and joined to the joint 22 on the outer side 12A of the fixed window glass 12; and a second guide member 32 integral with the main body 28 and disposed on the outer side of the fixed window glass 12.

[0052] The outer side surface 28A of the main body 28 is flat and smooth, and the outer side surfaces 30A and 32A of the joint portion 30 and the second guide member 32 are coplanar.

[0053] The inner side of the joined portion 30 has a protrusion 34 that engages with the recess 26. Furthermore, as... Figure 3As shown, when the protrusion 34 engages with the recess 26, the respective outer surfaces 22B, 28A, 30A, and 32A of the joint 22, main body 28, joined part 30, and second guide member 32 exposed on the outer side of the vehicle are coplanar. That is, the outer surfaces 22B, 28A, 30A, and 32A constitute the outer surface 14A of the partition strip 14.

[0054] The second guide member 32 has a protrusion 32B protruding from the main body 28 toward the interior of the vehicle, and a protrusion 32C protruding from the main body 28 toward the rear (in the direction of arrow B), with an L-shaped cross-section. Furthermore, as described above, when the protrusion 34 engages with the recess 26, the protrusion 32B is tightly fitted with the fixing part 20, and the first guide member 24 and the second guide member 32 together form a U-shaped guide part 33. By adjusting the window glass 106 (… Figure 1 (Refer to) The guide part 33 is inserted into the front edge of the window to guide the lift-up window glass 106 (refer to) Figure 1 The guide section 33 is equipped with a well-known glass slide 35 (see reference). Figure 8 ).

[0055] According to the partition strip 14 of the first embodiment, the guide portion 33 is formed by engaging the protrusion 34 with the recess 26. In this case, the respective outer side surfaces 22B, 28A, 30A, and 32A of the joint portion 22, the main body portion 28, the joined portion 30, and the second guide member 32 exposed on the outer side of the vehicle are coplanar. As a result, the aforementioned effect can be obtained, namely, wind noise generated when the vehicle 100 is in motion can be prevented, or the generation of wind noise can be minimized.

[0056] Furthermore, the outer side surface 22B of the joint 22 has a tapered surface 22C. Thus, from... Figure 3 The airflow from the front to the rear of the vehicle (airflow indicated by arrow B: see reference). Figure 1 The airflow flows smoothly from the outer side 12A of the fixed window glass 12 through the conical surface 22C along the outer sides 22B, 30A, 28A and 32A. Thus, since the outer side 22B of the joint 22 has the conical surface 22C, the airflow can be stabilized, which can further improve the above-mentioned effect.

[0057] In addition, such as Figure 3 As shown, a cushioning material 36, softer than the joint portion 22 and the joined portion 30, is preferably provided at the mating surface of the recess 26 and the convex portion 34. This prevents the generation of frictional noise (abnormal sound) caused by direct contact between the recess 26 and the convex portion 34. Alternatively, as an example, a soft rubber sheet can be used as the cushioning material 36.

[0058] Furthermore, as described below, adhesive 38 (refer to) can be made Figure 6 A frame 16 and a strip body 18 are bonded together by an adhesive 38. This improves the fixing force between the frame 16 and the strip body 18. As an example, the adhesive 38 can be double-sided tape, or other known adhesives such as urethane adhesives, silicone adhesives, and acrylic adhesives.

[0059] Figure 4 The image shown is a cross-sectional view of the fixed window glass 40 with a separator strip according to the second embodiment. When describing the fixed window glass 40 with a separator strip, the view will focus on the relationship between... Figure 3 Components that are the same as or similar to those of the fixed window glass 10 with partition strip shown in the first embodiment will be described using the same symbols. Furthermore, for ease of explanation, the description will focus on configurations that differ from those of the fixed window glass 10 with partition strip.

[0060] according to Figure 4 The fixed window glass 40 with a dividing strip shown has a protrusion 34 of the joint portion 30 having: a protrusion 34A that protrudes along the normal C of the outer side surface 12A of the fixed window glass 12 toward the outer side surface 12A of the fixed window glass 12, and a folded portion 34B that protrudes rearward (in the direction of arrow B) from the tip of the protrusion 34A in a direction orthogonal to the normal C of the outer side surface 12A of the fixed window glass 12.

[0061] In addition, the recess 26 of the joint 22 has a recess 26A for engaging the fold-back portion 34B.

[0062] Thus, since the joined portion 30 has a folded-back portion 34B in the protrusion 34, it is possible to prevent the strip body 18 from detaching relative to the frame 16 in the direction of the normal C of the outer side 12A of the fixed window glass 12. Furthermore, in the second embodiment, the frame 16 and the strip body 18 can also be joined by an adhesive 38 (see...). Figure 6 They adhere to each other.

[0063] Figure 5 The image shown is a cross-sectional view of the fixed window glass 50 with a separator strip according to the third embodiment. When describing the fixed window glass 50 with a separator strip, the view will focus on the relationship between... Figure 4 Components that are the same as or similar to those of the fixed window glass 40 with partition strip shown in the second embodiment will be described using the same symbols. Furthermore, for ease of explanation, the description will focus on configurations that differ from those of the fixed window glass 40 with partition strip.

[0064] according to Figure 5The fixed window glass 50 with a separator strip shown has a protrusion 34 of the joint portion 30 having: a protrusion 34C that protrudes along the normal C of the outer side surface 12A of the fixed window glass 12 toward the outer side surface 12A of the fixed window glass 12, and a folded portion 34D that protrudes forward from the tip of the protrusion 34C in a direction orthogonal to the normal C of the outer side surface 12A of the fixed window glass 12 (in the direction of arrow A).

[0065] Furthermore, the recess 26 of the joining portion 22 has a recess 26B in the in-plane direction of the fixed window glass 12 that engages with the folding portion 34D. Thus, since the joined portion 30 has a folding portion 34D in the protrusion 34 and a recess 26B in the recess 26, the joining portion 22 can be joined to the joined portion 30 by bringing the frame 16 and the strip body 18 closer together in the in-plane direction of the fixed window glass 12. Furthermore, it can prevent the strip body 18 from detaching from the frame 16 in the direction of the normal C. In addition, in the third embodiment, the frame 16 and the strip body 18 can also be joined by an adhesive 38 (see...). Figure 6 They adhere to each other.

[0066] Figure 6 The image shown is a cross-sectional view of the fixed window glass 60 with a separator strip according to the fourth embodiment. When describing the fixed window glass 60 with a separator strip, the view will focus on... Figure 3 Components that are the same as or similar to those of the fixed window glass 10 with partition strip shown in the first embodiment will be described using the same symbols. Furthermore, for ease of explanation, the description will focus on configurations that differ from those of the fixed window glass 10 with partition strip.

[0067] according to Figure 6 The fixed window glass 60 with a separator strip shown has an adhesive 38 between the frame 16 and the strip body 18, and the frame 16 and the strip body 18 are fixed by the adhesive 38.

[0068] Thus, by using adhesive 38, the fixing force between the frame 16 and the strip body 18 can be increased. Additionally, Figure 6 The recess 26 serves as a recess for receiving the protrusion 34 and the adhesive 38.

[0069] Figure 7 The image shown is a cross-sectional view of the fixed window glass 70 with a separator strip according to the fifth embodiment. When describing the fixed window glass 70 with a separator strip, the description will focus on the relationship between... Figure 3 Components that are the same as or similar to those of the fixed window glass 10 with partition strip shown in the first embodiment will be described using the same symbols. Furthermore, for ease of explanation, the description will focus on configurations that differ from those of the fixed window glass 10 with partition strip.

[0070] The frame 16 has a fixing part 20, a connecting part 72 and a first guide member 24.

[0071] The joining portion 72 is integral with the fixing portion 20 and extends outward (towards the rear as indicated by arrow B) along the in-plane direction of the fixed window glass 12. Furthermore, the joining portion 72 has a claw portion 74 protruding inward on its inner side. Additionally, the outer side of the joining portion 72 is coplanar with the outer side 12A of the fixed window glass 12; however, this is an example and not a limitation.

[0072] On the other hand, the main body 18 has a main body portion 28, a joined portion 76, and a second guide member 32.

[0073] In a cross-sectional view, the edge of the front side (in the direction of arrow A) of the main body 28 is curved towards the outer side 12A of the fixed window glass 12. That is, the edge of the front end side of the main body 28 has a conical surface 28B.

[0074] The mating portion 76 has: a protrusion 76A integral with the main body portion 28, protruding from the inner side 28C of the main body portion 28 toward the inner side of the vehicle; and a protrusion 76B protruding from the protrusion 76A toward the inner side of the fixed window glass 12, with an L-shaped cross-section. Furthermore, a recess 78 is provided on the outer side of the protrusion 76B to engage with the claw portion 74.

[0075] according to Figure 7 The fixed window glass 70 with a separator strip shown can be joined by bringing the joining portion 72 and the joined portion 76 closer together along the in-plane direction of the fixed window glass 12, with the claw portion 74 engaging with the recess 78. Furthermore, in this case, since the respective exterior surfaces 28A and 32A of the main body portion 28 and the second guide member 32 exposed on the vehicle exterior are coplanar, wind noise generation can be prevented, or wind noise generation can be minimized. Moreover, since the main body portion 28 has a conical surface 28B, the above-mentioned effects can be further improved. Additionally, in the fifth embodiment, the frame 16 and the strip body 18 can also be bonded together by an adhesive (not shown).

[0076] Figure 8 The image shown is a cross-sectional view of the fixed window glass 80 with a separator strip according to the sixth embodiment. When describing the fixed window glass 80 with a separator strip, the view will focus on the relationship between... Figure 3 Components that are the same as or similar to those of the fixed window glass 10 with partition strip shown in the first embodiment will be described using the same symbols. Furthermore, for ease of explanation, the description will focus on configurations that differ from those of the fixed window glass 10 with partition strip.

[0077] The frame 16 has a fixing part 20 and a first guide member 24.

[0078] The main body 18 has a main body 28, a lip 82 and a second guide member 32.

[0079] The lip 82 is integral with the main body 28 and extends toward the outer side 12A of the fixed window glass 12. Furthermore, in a cross-sectional view, the lip 82 is curved toward the outer side 12A of the fixed window glass 12. That is, the outer side 82A of the lip 82 has a conical surface 82B.

[0080] Furthermore, the frame 16 and the strip body 18 are installed by bonding them together with an adhesive 38 between the frame 16 and the strip body 18.

[0081] according to Figure 8 When the fixed window glass 80 with a dividing strip shown is mounted to the frame 16 by adhesive 38, the respective exterior surfaces 28A, 32A, and 82A of the main body 28, the second guide member 32, and the lip 82 exposed on the outside of the vehicle are coplanar, thus preventing or minimizing the generation of wind noise. Furthermore, the lip 82 has a conical surface 82C, which further enhances the aforementioned effect.

[0082] Furthermore, the lip 82 is preferably made of resin or rubber that is more flexible than the main body 28, and its elasticity allows it to adhere tightly to the exterior side 12A of the fixed window glass 12. In this case, the main body 28 and the lip 82 can be formed, for example, by a two-color molding method.

[0083] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above. However, the present invention is not limited to the above examples, and various modifications or variations can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Several variations will be described below.

[0084] The above examples illustrate the application of the fixed window glass with separator strip of the present invention to the front quarter window glass. However, the fixed window glass with separator strip of the present invention can also be applied to the side and rear windows or the rear quarter window glass installed on a vehicle.

[0085] In addition, in order to suppress the generation of wind noise, Figures 3-6 In the fixed window glass panes 10, 40, 50, and 60 with separator strips shown, a conical surface 22C is formed at the joint 22. However, this conical surface 22C is just one example; the cross-section of the conical surface 22C can be arc-shaped, quadratic curve-shaped, or even straight. That is, at least a portion of the cross-section of the joint 22 can be a shape in which the thickness of the joint 22 gradually increases from the in-plane to the out-plane of the fixed window glass 12. This can suppress the generation of wind noise.

[0086] For the same purpose, in Figure 7 In the fixed window glass 70 with dividing strips shown, a conical surface 28B is formed in the main body 28. However, this conical surface 28B is just one example; the cross-section of the conical surface 28B can be arc-shaped, quadratic curve-shaped, or even straight. That is, at least a portion of the cross-section of the main body 28 can be a shape in which the thickness of the main body 28 gradually increases from the in-plane to the out-plane of the fixed window glass 12. This can suppress the generation of wind noise.

[0087] For the same purpose, in Figure 8 In the fixed window glass 80 with a separator strip shown, a conical surface 82B is formed on the lip 82. However, this conical surface 82B is just one example; the cross-section of the conical surface 82B can be arc-shaped, quadratic curve-shaped, or even straight. That is, at least a portion of the cross-section of the lip 82 can be a shape in which the thickness of the lip 82 gradually increases from the in-plane to the out-plane of the fixed window glass 12. This can suppress the occurrence of wind noise.

[0088] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a frame 16 consisting of a single component is exemplified as the first component, but the first component may also be composed of two or more components. Similarly, a strip body 18 consisting of a single component is exemplified as the second component, but the second component may also be composed of two or more components.
