Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of automotive technology, and more particularly to a window regulator. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the automotive industry and the improvement of customers' quality of life, there are higher requirements for the all-round performance of automobiles, and the convenience of automobiles is a key concern for customers. To improve vehicle convenience, one-touch power windows are being equipped in an increasing number of car models. Among them, the window regulator, as an important component of the car's window and door lifting system, affects the smoothness of glass operation and the sealing between the glass and the window / door.

[0003] In related technologies, window regulators have two fixed sliders. Due to length tolerances in the steel cables and the inherent structure of the sliders themselves, an unavoidable height difference exists between the sliders. This height difference causes the car door glass to tilt forward or backward after installation, deviating from its designed trajectory and reducing the gap between the glass and the guide channel. Later, as the guide channel ages, friction noise and difficulty in raising and lowering the window occur between the glass and the guide channel.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an improved window regulator to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
