Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to resin-framed glass for vehicle windows with electrical components. Background Technology

[0002] In automotive window glass panels, particularly motor vehicle glass panels, such as side window glass fixed to a window opening, there are many types of glass where a resin frame is integrally formed with its periphery to fill the gap between the glass panel and the window opening. This resin frame is used to fix the glass panel to the window opening and to seal the window opening, while also aiming to improve the aesthetic design of the side window glass.

[0003] The aforementioned resin frame is formed integrally with the glass plate by applying a primer (adhesive) to the periphery of the glass plate, fixing the glass plate in a mold, and injecting molten resin into the cavity of the mold. This allows for the manufacture of a resin-framed glass in which the resin frame and the periphery of the glass plate are integrally formed. Furthermore, the applicant of this application disclosed such a resin-framed glass (trade name: MAW (registered trademark: Module Assy Window)) in Patent Document 1, etc.

[0004] On the other hand, Patent Document 2 discloses a vehicle windshield in which an information device mounting part is provided on a resin frame. Furthermore, Patent Document 2 also discloses a structure in which a connecting wire electrically connected to the information device is integrally formed with the resin frame.

[0007] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2008-270021

[0008] Patent Document 2: International Publication No. 2017 / 188414 Summary of the Invention

[0009] The technical problem that the invention aims to solve

[0010] Electrical components, such as information devices, installed on resin-framed glass for vehicle windows are connected to, for example, the vehicle's power supply via electrical connections such as connecting wires. On the other hand, resin-framed glass for vehicle windows, as an example, has an adhesive application area provided on the inner side of the glass panel, and is fixed to the vehicle side by adhesive applied to this area. Such resin-framed glass for vehicle windows sometimes employs a structure where a portion of the electrical connection is pre-installed in the aforementioned application area and then bonded to the inner side of the glass panel using adhesive.

[0011] However, in the above configuration, since the electrical connection is located in the adhesive coating area, there is a problem of reduced water tightness in the coating area. As a result, water that has seeped into the interior of the vehicle from the outer edge of the resin-framed glass for the window can seep into the inner surface of the resin-framed glass for the window through the aforementioned area with reduced water tightness (water leakage).

[0012] Thus, the glass with a resin frame used for car windows constructed in the above manner has a quality problem due to water leakage.

[0013] The present invention was made against this background, and its purpose is to provide a high-quality glass with a resin frame for automotive windows.

[0014] Technical solutions adopted to solve technical problems

[0015] To achieve the objective of this invention, the resin-framed glass for vehicle windows of this invention comprises a glass plate and a resin frame disposed at the periphery of the glass plate, wherein the resin frame and the glass plate are integrally formed. When the resin-framed glass for vehicle windows is installed on a vehicle, the inner side of the resin frame is coated with an adhesive for fixing it to the vehicle. The resin-framed glass for vehicle windows has an electrical component on the inner side of the vehicle. When the inner side of the resin-framed glass for vehicle windows relative to the adhesive coating area is designated as a first section, and the edge side of the resin-framed glass for vehicle windows relative to the adhesive coating area is designated as a second section, the electrical component is disposed in either the first or second section. An electrical connection component is disposed in a section different from the section where the electrical component is disposed. When viewed from above, the resin-framed glass for vehicle windows is electrically connected to the electrical component and the electrical connection component via a relay section between the adhesive-coated surface and the outer side of the resin-framed glass for vehicle windows.

[0026] Hereinafter, embodiments of the resin-framed glass for vehicle windows of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Figure 1 The image shown is a top view of the resin-framed glass 10 for a vehicle window according to the first embodiment (hereinafter referred to as "resin-framed glass 10"). Figure 2 As shown Figure 1 The cross-sectional view of the glass 10 with resin frame shown along line 2-2.

[0028] [Rinseed-framed glass for car windows]

[0029] Figure 1 and Figure 2 The resin-framed glass 10 shown is a fixed window for a motor vehicle; as an example, it is the rear quarter window of a motor vehicle. This resin-framed glass 10 includes a glass panel 12 and a resin frame 14 disposed around the periphery of the glass panel 12. The resin frame 14 is integrally formed with the glass panel 12. The surface 14A of the resin frame 14 (exterior side of the vehicle) faces outwards when the resin-framed glass 10 is fixed to the window opening (not shown), serving as the design surface of the resin-framed glass 10. Furthermore, the resin-framed glass 10 is not limited to a rear quarter window. It can be a front quarter window or a sunroof. Additionally, it can be a front window or a rear window.

[0030] <Glass Plate>

[0031] Figure 1The glass plate 12 shown is generally quadrilateral when viewed from above. However, the shape of the glass plate 12 is not limited to a generally quadrilateral shape; it can also be approximately triangular, etc. The glass plate 12 can be inorganic glass or organic glass. As inorganic glass, for example, soda-lime glass, aluminosilicate glass, borosilicate glass, alkali-free glass, quartz glass, etc., can be used, and there is no particular limitation. Among these, soda-lime glass is particularly preferred from the viewpoint of manufacturing cost and formability. There is no particular limitation on the forming method of the glass plate 12, but for example, in the case of inorganic glass, a glass plate formed by float glass or the like is preferred.

[0032] When glass plate 12 is inorganic glass, it can be either unstrengthened glass or strengthened glass. Unstrengthened glass is glass formed by shaping molten glass into a plate and then annealing it. Strengthened glass is glass formed by forming a compressive stress layer on the surface of unstrengthened glass, and can be either air-strengthened glass or chemically strengthened glass.

[0033] When the tempered glass is physically tempered (e.g., air-cooled tempered glass), the glass surface can be strengthened by using a temperature difference between the glass surface and the interior to generate a compressive stress layer on the glass surface during bending, in addition to annealing, by rapidly cooling the uniformly heated glass sheet from a temperature near its softening point. On the other hand, when the tempered glass is chemically tempered, 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 also be used. Transparent glass is preferred, but glass sheets that are colored to a degree that does not impair transparency may also be used.

[0034] The glass plate 12 can have a single-bend shape formed by bending in only one direction, or it can have a multi-bend shape formed by bending in two directions (e.g., a specified direction and a direction orthogonal to the specified direction). The bending of the glass plate 12 can be performed by gravity forming, pressure forming, or roll forming, etc. When the glass plate 12 is bent with a specified curvature, the radius of curvature of the glass plate 12 can be 1000 to 100000 mm.

[0035] Glass plate 12 can be a single glass plate, or it can be laminated glass consisting of, for example, two or more glass plates bonded together with an interlayer. As an example, the interlayer of the laminated glass can be a known thermoplastic resin film such as polyvinyl butyral (PVB) or ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA). The interlayer of the laminated glass can be transparent or colored. Furthermore, there can be two or more interlayers.

[0036] When the glass panel 12 is laminated glass, the thickness of the outer glass and the inner glass can be the same or different when the glass panel 12 is installed on the vehicle. When the glass panel 12 is installed on the vehicle, the thickness of the outer glass is preferably 1.0 mm to 3.0 mm. When the thickness of the outer glass panel is 1.0 mm or more, its strength, such as its resistance to flying stones, is sufficient; when it is 3.0 mm or less, the weight of the laminated glass is not excessive, which is preferable from the perspective of vehicle fuel consumption. The thickness of the inner glass panel is preferably 0.3 mm to 2.3 mm. A thickness of 0.3 mm or more on the inner side of the vehicle provides good operability, while a thickness of 2.3 mm or less ensures that the weight is not excessive. When the thickness of both the outer and inner glass panels is 1.8 mm or less, it is preferable because both lightweight and sound insulation of the glass panel 12 can be achieved simultaneously. Furthermore, when the thickness of the inner glass is 1.0 mm or less, the inner glass can be chemically strengthened glass. When the glass on the inner side is chemically strengthened glass, the compressive stress value on the glass surface is preferably 300 MPa or more, and the depth of the compressive stress layer is preferably 2 μm or more.

[0037] When the glass plate 12 is a single glass plate, the glass plate 12 is preferably air-cooled tempered glass. In this case, the thickness of the glass plate 12 is preferably 1.8 mm or more and 5.0 mm or less.

[0038] Furthermore, when the glass plate 12 is plexiglass, transparent resins such as polycarbonate or acrylic resin (e.g., polymethyl methacrylate) can be used as materials for plexiglass.

[0039] <Resin Frame>

[0040] As an example, the resin frame 14 is arranged to surround the entire circumference of the glass plate 12. Examples of materials for the resin frame 14 include synthetic resins such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and thermoplastic elastomer (TPE). The glass plate 12 is mounted in a mold having a cavity corresponding to the shape of the resin frame 14, and the aforementioned synthetic resin (molten synthetic resin) is injected into the cavity, thereby setting the resin frame 14 on the glass plate 12.

[0041] In addition, such as Figure 2 As shown, the resin frame 14 in this example is a so-called three-sided trim with three inner surfaces 14B, 14C, and 14D that are in contact with the outer side 12A, the inner side 12B, and the end face 12C of the glass panel 12. Alternatively, the resin frame 14 can also be a so-called two-sided trim with two inner surfaces that are in contact with the inner side 12B and the end face 12C of the glass panel 12.

[0042] The resin-framed glass 10 of the first embodiment is installed in... Figure 2 In the case of the vehicle 16 shown by the double-dotted line, an adhesive 18 for fixing the resin-framed glass 10 to the interior of the vehicle 16 is applied to the resin frame 14. Furthermore, the resin-framed glass 10 of the first embodiment has an electrical component 20 on the interior of the vehicle 16. Additionally, Figure 2 Although the adhesive 18 is shown enlarged and its cross-sectional shape is shown as a triangle for ease of illustration, the size and shape of the adhesive 18 are not limited thereto.

[0043] In the resin-framed glass 10 of the first embodiment, an adhesive application area 22 is provided on the inner side surface 14E opposite to the inner surface 14C of the resin frame 14. Therefore, when the inner side of the resin-framed glass 10 relative to the application area 22 (the centroid side of the glass plate 12) is designated as the first section 24, and the edge side of the resin-framed glass 10 relative to the application area 22 is designated as the second section 26, an electrical component 20 is provided on the inner side surface 14F of the resin frame 14 located in the second section 26. An electrical connection component 28 is provided in the first section 24, which is different from the second section 26 where the electrical component 20 is provided. Furthermore, the electrical component 20 is fixed to the inner side surface 14F of the resin frame 14 by a bracket 30 integrally formed with or mounted on the electrical component 20.

[0044] As an example of the electrical component 20, a distance sensor that detects the distance to an object located to the side of the vehicle can be used. Furthermore, as an example of the electrical connection component 28, a wire-like component having a wire and an insulating tube covering the wire can be used. Thus, the electrical component 20 and the electrical connection component 28 are as follows... Figure 2 As shown, when viewed from above, the glass with a resin frame 10 is electrically connected via a relay section 32 located between the inner side 14E of the resin frame 14 coated with adhesive 18 and the surface 14A (outer side) of the resin frame 14.

[0045] The relay section 32 described above will now be specifically described. In the first embodiment, the relay section 32 with the resin frame glass 10 employs a through hole 34 formed in the resin frame 14. This through hole 34 is a through hole connecting the first section 24 and the second section 26. The electrical connection member 28 is inserted into the through hole 34, which serves as the relay section 32. Among the openings 34A and 34B at both ends of the through hole 34, the opening 34A that opens towards the second section 26 is sealed by the sealing member 36. As an example of the sealing member 36, an organosilicon sealant can be cited, but it is not limited to this.

[0046] Here, a comparative example comparing the resin-framed glass 10 of the first embodiment will be briefly described. For example, in the comparative example where a portion of the electrical connection component is disposed in the adhesive coating area, i.e., the resin-framed glass formed by coating the adhesive across a portion of the electrical connection component, the water tightness decreases in the adhesive coating area due to the gap between the adhesive and the electrical connection component, thus causing moisture to seep into the inner surface of the resin-framed glass. Furthermore, the coating area in the comparative example can be located on the glass plate side or on the resin frame side.

[0047] In contrast, according to the resin-framed glass 10 of the first embodiment, even if moisture seeps in from the outer edge of the resin-framed glass 10, the adhesive 18 used to fix the resin-framed glass 10 to the vehicle 16 can prevent the moisture from seeping into the inner surface of the resin-framed glass 10.

[0048] That is, the resin-framed glass 10 of the first embodiment is constructed such that the electrical component 20 disposed in the second section 26 and the electrical connection component 28 disposed in the first section 24 are electrically connected through a through hole 34 serving as a relay portion 32 between the inner side surface 14E coated with adhesive 18 and the surface 14A, and the through hole 34 is sealed by a sealing component 36. In other words, this structure does not reduce the water tightness of the coated area 22. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the aforementioned moisture from seeping into the inner surface of the resin-framed glass 10 (leaking water), thus providing a resin-framed glass 10 of good quality.

[0049] Furthermore, the sealing member 36 can seal the through hole 34 by sealing opening 34B instead of opening 34A, or by sealing both openings 34A and 34B. That is, it is sufficient to seal at least one of openings 34A and 34B. In addition, the through hole 34 can be formed by drilling after the resin-framed glass 10 is manufactured, or it can be formed during the manufacture of the resin-framed glass 10 by placing (carrying) a hollow tube for defining the through hole 34 in a mold for injecting resin.

[0050] Figure 3 The image shown is a cross-sectional view of the resin-framed glass 40 according to the second embodiment. When describing the resin-framed glass 40, [the following is a description of its relationship with...]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The same or similar components with resin-framed glass 10 shown are marked with the same symbols and their descriptions are omitted.

[0051] Figure 3In the resin-framed glass 40 shown, a portion 28A of the electrical connection member 28 is integrally formed with the resin frame 14. Furthermore, the relay section 32 is constructed by incorporating a portion 28A (part) of the electrical connection member 28 integrally formed with the resin frame 14. That is, since the resin-framed glass 40 of the second embodiment is an integrally formed product of the glass plate 12, a portion 28A of the electrical connection member 28, and the resin frame 14, it has a structure in which the resin frame 14 and the portion 28A of the electrical connection member 28 are tightly bonded together. In addition, to further improve the tightness of the bond between the resin frame 14 and the portion 28A of the electrical connection member 28, a primer can be applied to the surface of the portion 28A of the electrical connection member 28.

[0052] According to the second embodiment, even if moisture seeps in from the outer edge of the resin-framed glass 40, the adhesive 18 used to fix the resin-framed glass 40 to the vehicle 16 can prevent the moisture from seeping into the inner surface of the resin-framed glass 40.

[0053] That is, the resin-framed glass 40 of the second embodiment is constructed such that the electrical component 20 disposed in the second section 26 and the electrical connection component 28 disposed in the first section 24 are electrically connected by a portion 28A of the electrical connection component 28, which serves as a relay portion 32, between the inner side surface 14E coated with adhesive 18 and the surface 14A. In other words, since the resin frame 14 is tightly sealed to the portion 28A of the electrical connection portion 28, the structure does not reduce the water tightness of the coated area 22. Therefore, since the aforementioned moisture can be prevented from seeping into the inner surface of the resin-framed glass 40 (leaking water), a high-quality resin-framed glass 40 can be provided.

[0054] Furthermore, when manufacturing the resin-framed glass 40 of the second embodiment, it is preferable to utilize... Figure 4 The pair of auxiliary components 42, 42 shown support a portion 28A of the electrical connection component 28 in the mold. This allows the portion 28A to be integrally formed with the resin frame 14.

[0055] Furthermore, in the resin-framed glass 40 of the second embodiment, at least a portion of the auxiliary components 42, 42 protrudes from the surface of the resin frame 14. Specifically, the auxiliary component 42 consists of an arcuate portion 42A that supports a portion 28A by bending a line component and a pair of legs 42B, 42B placed on a mold, wherein the bottom 42C of the leg 42B that is in contact with the mold protrudes outward from the inner side 14E of the resin frame 14. That is, the resin-framed glass 40 of the second embodiment is an integrally molded product of the glass plate 12, a portion 28A of the electrical connection portion 28, the auxiliary components 42A, 42B and the resin frame 14. Therefore, by providing auxiliary components 42, 42, the glass 40 with resin frame in the second embodiment can prevent the portion 28A of the electrical connection 28 from moving away from the desired position due to the injected molten resin when the glass plate 12, a portion 28A of the electrical connection 28 and the resin frame 14 are integrally formed by injection molding.

[0056] Figure 5 The image shown is a cross-sectional view of the resin-framed glass 50 according to the third embodiment. When describing the resin-framed glass 50, [the following is a description of its relationship with...]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The same or similar components with resin-framed glass 10 shown are marked with the same symbols and their descriptions are omitted.

[0057] Figure 5 The resin-framed glass 50 of the third embodiment shown is an example of a connector component 52, which is used as a plate-shaped component and is part of an electrical connection component 28. A flat wire harness with a connector can be exemplified as the connector component 52. In the case of such a connector component 52, the relay section 32 is composed of a connector component 52 inserted into the resin frame 14, with one end of the connector component 52 electrically connected to the electrical assembly 20 via the electrical connection component 28, and the other end electrically connected to the electrical connection component 28. That is, since the resin-framed glass 50 of the third embodiment is an integrally molded product of the glass plate 12, the connector component 52, and the resin frame 14, it has a structure in which the resin frame 14 and the connector component 52 are tightly fitted together. Furthermore, to further improve the tightness of the fit between the resin frame 14 and the connector component 52, a primer can be applied to the surface of the connector component 52.

[0058] Figure 5 The image shown is a glass image with a resin frame. Figure 2 As shown, when the connector component 52 is inserted into the through hole 34 formed in the resin frame 14, at least one of the openings 34A and 34B at both ends of the through hole 34 (opening 34A) is sealed by the sealing component 36.

[0059] According to the resin-framed glass 50 of the third embodiment, even if moisture seeps in from the outer edge of the resin-framed glass 50, the adhesive 18 can prevent the moisture from seeping into the inner surface of the resin-framed glass 50.

[0060] That is, the resin-framed glass 50 of the third embodiment is constructed such that the electrical component 20 disposed in the second section 26 and the electrical connection component 28 disposed in the first section 24 are electrically connected by a connector component 52 serving as a relay portion 32 between the inner side surface 14E coated with adhesive 18 and the surface 14A. In other words, since the resin frame 14 and the connector component 52 are tightly fitted, the structure does not reduce the water tightness of the coated area 22. Therefore, since the aforementioned moisture can be prevented from seeping into the inner surface of the resin-framed glass 50 (leaking water), a high-quality resin-framed glass 50 can be provided.

[0061] The resin-framed glass (not shown) of the fourth embodiment will now be described. This resin-framed glass is made of... Figure 5 The connector component 52 shown is as follows Figure 3 The electrical connection component 28 shown is integrally formed with the resin frame 14, as shown in part 28A. Similar to the resin-framed glass 10, 40, and 50 of the first to third embodiments, the resin-framed glass constructed in this way can also prevent moisture from penetrating into the inner surface of the resin-framed glass 10 by means of the adhesive 18, thus improving the quality of the resin-framed glass.

[0062] Furthermore, the glass with a resin frame in the fourth embodiment preferably also utilizes... Figure 4 The auxiliary component 42 shown is used to support the connector component 52 on the mold. This allows the connector component 52 to be integrally molded with the resin frame 14. Furthermore, in this case, the bottom 42C of the foot 42B in the auxiliary component 42, which contacts the mold, protrudes outward from the inner side 14E of the resin frame 14. That is, the glass with a resin frame in the fourth embodiment is an integrally molded product of the glass plate 12, the connector component 52, the auxiliary component 42, and the resin frame 14.

[0063] The following describes several variations of the glass with a resin frame according to the present invention.

[0064] Figure 6 In the glass 60 with resin frame shown, as Figure 5 The electrical connection component 28 shown is connected to one end of the connector component 52, and is suitable for flat wire harness 62 (see reference). Figure 6 A busbar 64 is mounted on the interior side 12B of the glass 60 with a resin frame, which is connected to the lead wire (not shown) of the flat wiring harness 62. The busbar 64 and the lead wire are connected by solder 66. Figure 6In the glass 60 with resin frame shown, a busbar 64 is disposed in the first section 24, and the busbar 64 is connected to the electrical assembly 20 disposed in the second section 26 via a flat wire harness 62, a connector component 52 and an electrical connection component 28.

[0065] The resin-framed glass 60 constructed in this way can also prevent moisture from seeping into the inner surface of the resin-framed glass 60 through the adhesive 18, thus improving the quality of the resin-framed glass 60.

[0066] Figure 7 The glass 70 with a resin frame shown has a configuration in which an electrical component 20 is disposed in the first section 24 and an electrical connection component 28 is disposed in the second section 26. Specifically, the electrical component 20 is mounted on the interior side 12B of the glass panel 12, and one end of the electrical connection component 28 is connected to the electrical component 20 through a through hole 34 in the resin frame 14, and the other end is connected, for example, to the power supply unit of the vehicle 16.

[0067] The resin-framed glass 70 constructed in this way can also prevent moisture from seeping into the inner surface of the resin-framed glass 70 through the adhesive 18, thus improving the quality of the resin-framed glass 70. In addition, the electrical connection component 28 is inserted into the cylindrical waterproof gasket 72 installed at the opening of the vehicle 16 and connected to the aforementioned power supply unit.

[0068] [Manufacturing method for glass with resin frame]

[0069] Below, refer to Figure 8 The mold 80 shown illustrates an example of the manufacturing method of the resin-framed glass according to the fourth embodiment. Furthermore, Figure 8 The diagram shows molten resin 84, which forms the resin frame 14, injected into the cavity 82 of the mold 80. However, the following description begins from the state before the molten resin 84 is injected into the cavity 82.

[0070] The manufacturing method described below generally includes connector component assembly, glass plate assembly, and resin frame molding processes.

[0071] First, in the above-mentioned connector component installation process, such as Figure 8 As shown, the connector component 52 is disposed (placed) in the concave surface 88 of the lower mold 86 of the mold 80 using auxiliary components 42, 42.

[0072] Subsequently, during the glass panel installation process, such as Figure 8As shown, the peripheral portion 12D of the glass plate 12 is installed at a predetermined position on the lower mold 86. Then, the upper mold 90 of the mold 80 is fixed to the lower mold 86. Thereby, a cavity 82 is formed between the lower mold 86 and the upper mold 90, which houses the connector component 52 and the peripheral portion 12D of the glass plate 12.

[0073] Subsequently, in the resin frame forming process, molten resin 84 is injected into the cavity 82, for example, through the resin injection port 92 provided in the lower mold 86. Hereby, the molten resin 84 fills the cavity 82, and the cavity 82 is filled. Afterward, once the molten resin 84 has solidified, the lower mold 86 and the upper mold 90 are separated from each other. This produces the glass with a resin frame according to the fourth embodiment. Alternatively, the upper mold 90 may also have a resin injection port 92.

[0074] The above description illustrates an example of a resin-framed glass for a vehicle window according to the present invention.
