Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of automotive technology, specifically relating to a design method for a V-point-based ceramic sunshade for the windshield, applicable to all passenger vehicles. Background Technology
[0002] In the top area of the car windshield, in the center of the sun visor, a ceramic sunshade strip is typically printed on the glass. This ceramic sunshade strip is usually dotted, mesh-like, or even completely black. For situations where cameras or other accessories require viewing windows on the glass, a separate transparent area can be created within the ceramic sunshade strip, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown. Its purpose is to fill the gap in the middle of the sun visors for the driver and passenger sides, preventing light from entering the driver's eyes through the middle area when the vehicle is driving towards the sun, thus ensuring driving safety. However, since there is no quantifiable design method for the sunshade's effectiveness in this area, ceramic sunshades are generally designed by professionals based on aesthetic requirements. The resulting sunshades are not very effective at blocking light, thus affecting the driving experience.
[0003] Currently, the design of ceramic sun visors is generally determined by the styling department, prioritizing minimization and considering their proportion of the windshield to achieve an aesthetically pleasing solution. Furthermore, with the increasing functionality of vehicles, many electrical components are integrated into the rearview mirror mounting area, necessitating a protective cover. Ceramic sun visors thus provide some sun protection. However, many lower-spec models lack such covers and therefore do not have ceramic sun visors, failing to meet sun protection requirements. Therefore, a new design method for front windshield ceramic sun visors needs to be developed. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an engineering-quantifiable design method for a V-point-based ceramic sunshade for the windshield, in order to solve the problem of easily designing the smallest sunshade area.
[0005] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] A design method for a V-point-based ceramic sunshade for the windshield includes the following steps:
[0007] A. The driver's V1 field of vision, the sun visor 3 in a vertical position, the interior rearview mirror 2, and the printed surface of the ceramic strip on the front windshield 1 are used as input conditions.
[0008] B. Project point V1 along the Y direction onto the XOZ plane to obtain point V1'. Draw a straight line L1 through point V1' and tangent to the upper edge of the inner rearview mirror 2. The straight line L1 intersects the printed surface 1 of the ceramic strip of the front windshield at point P1.
[0009] C. Move the upper boundary C1 of the printed surface 1 of the ceramic strip of the front windshield parallel to point P1 to obtain curve C2; project the right boundary C3 of the sun visor 3 in the vertical position of the driver's seat onto the printed surface 1 of the ceramic strip along the direction of straight line L1 to obtain curve C4, and obtain the intersection point P2 of C4 and C2.
[0010] D. Draw the XZ plane through point P2. This plane intersects with the printed surface 1 of the front windshield ceramic strip to obtain curve C5. On the printed surface 1 of the front windshield ceramic strip, draw curve C6 through point P2 with an angle of 20° with curve C5.
[0011] E. Find the intersection point P3 of the fillet R1 and the curve C6. On the printed surface 1 of the ceramic strip on the front windshield, move the curve C2 parallel to the point P3 to obtain the curve C7. The curve C7 intersects the curve C4 at point P4. Move the curve C6 parallel to the point P4 to obtain the curve C8.
[0012] F. Curve C8 is symmetrically derived from the XOZ plane to obtain curve C9, which is the right boundary of the ceramic sunshade strip. The fillet radius R3 = 35mm is used to round curves C9 and C2. Curves C2, C8, and C9 are trimmed respectively and combined with R2 and R3 to obtain the aforementioned front windshield ceramic sunshade strip. Figure 7 The grid area shown.
[0013] Further, in step A, the driver's V1 field of vision point is obtained by correcting the R point based on the seat back angle.
[0014] Further, in step C, curve C2 is the lower boundary of the ceramic sunshade strip.
[0015] Further, in step D, the fillet angle R1 between curve C6 and curve C2 is 35mm.
[0016] Further, in step E, curve C8 represents the left boundary of the ceramic sunshade strip.
[0017] Furthermore, the fillet radius R2 between curves C8 and C2 is 35mm.
[0018] Furthermore, curve C9 represents the right boundary of the ceramic sunshade strip.
[0019] Furthermore, the fillet radius R3 between curve C9 and curve C2 is 35mm.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0021] The design method of this invention can quantify the area of the sunshade strip. This method is based on the driver's field of vision V point, specifically based on the upper field of vision V1 point, and combined with the actual usage conditions of the rearview mirror and sun visor. The minimum area of the ceramic sunshade strip is made in 3D CAD software, which can ensure that light cannot enter the driver's eyes from the middle area of the sun visor when the vehicle is driving in direct sunlight, thus ensuring driving safety and taking into account aesthetics. This method, based on the driver's field of vision V1 point, meets the sunshade needs of most people from an ergonomic perspective. Attached Figure Description
