Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of automobile accessory production, in particular to a bracket for an arc-shaped windshield and a bracket combination. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of automobile technology, the function of automobile windshield is becoming more and more rich, so the components matched on the front windshield are more and more, and the internal structure of the bracket on the front windshield is more and more complex, resulting in the increase of the volume of the bracket. Due to the increase of the volume of the bracket and the increase of the reinforcing structure, the cooling time of each reinforcing structure is different, resulting in the increase of the deformation amount in the production process and the increase of the deformation amount caused by the release of internal stress during storage, the deformation position increases, resulting in the deviation of the final curvature of the bracket from the preset curvature, and further resulting in the poor fit between the bracket and the glass. In addition, due to the process problem of the production glass itself, the surface of the same glass will also have the difference of the curvature. At the same time, the same bracket will also be used on the glass of different vehicle models, and the glass shape of different vehicle models is different, so it will inevitably cause the problem of poor matching between the bracket and various glasses, thereby causing the deviation of the relative angle between the camera, sensor and other components on the bracket and the glass, resulting in the failure of the function of the components.

[0023] The technical content, purposes and effects of the present application will be described in detail below in combination with the embodiments and the drawings.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1-6 A bracket for arc-shaped windshield glass, comprising a bracket body 1 and a reinforcing member 2;

[0025] The edge portion of the bracket body 1 is provided with a notch 11, and the notch 11 extends from the edge portion of the bracket body 1 to the inside of the bracket body 1;

[0026] The notch 11 has a first side wall 111 and a second side wall 112 arranged opposite to the first side wall 111;

[0027] The reinforcing member 2 is located in the gap, and the reinforcing member 2 connects the first side wall 111 and the second side wall 112.

[0028] The working principle of the present application is that:

[0029] By setting the gap 11 and the reinforcing member 2 on the gap 11, the two parts of the bracket body 1 located on both sides of the gap 11 are connected, the deformation ability of the bracket body 1 is improved, and the fine adjustment range of the bracket body 1 is expanded.

[0030] From the above description, the beneficial effects of the present application are that the two parts with a spacing are connected by the reinforcing member 2 to make the bracket body 1 have a larger deformation space, and the two mutually separated parts can be adjusted by a small amplitude to adapt to different glass radii, improve the matching degree between the bracket and the glass, and expand the application range of the bracket.

[0031] Further, the thickness of the reinforcing member 2 is less than the thickness of the bracket body 1 and greater than or equal to one-fifth of the thickness of the bracket body 1.

[0032] From the above description, the thickness of the reinforcing member 2 is less than the thickness of the bracket body 1 and greater than or equal to one-fifth of the thickness of the bracket body 1, preferably, the thickness of the reinforcing member 2 is less than the thickness of the bracket body 1 and greater than or equal to one-half of the thickness of the bracket body 1, so that the reinforcing member 2 has the most suitable thickness. When the thickness of the reinforcing member 2 is too small, the shrinkage rate after cooling is greatly different from that of the bracket body 1, resulting in warping of the two parts connected by the reinforcing member 2 due to the shrinkage of the reinforcing member 2. In addition, when the thickness of the reinforcing member 2 is too small, it will cause the reinforcing member 2 to break during the adjustment of the profile, so that the final radius of the bracket body 1 deviates from the radius of the glass opposite surface. In addition, the reinforcing member 2 is too thin, which will result in insufficient strength of the reinforcing member 2 and further cause the bracket body 1 to be easily broken. When the thickness of the reinforcing member 2 is too large, the cooling speed of the reinforcing member 2 is less than or equal to the cooling speed of the bracket body 1. Since the reinforcing member 2 is a convex structure compared to the bracket body 1, it will cause the bracket body 1 to produce a reverse concave phenomenon relative to the preset radius, so that the bracket body 1 and the glass profile produce an arch bridge gap. In addition, if the thickness of the reinforcing member 2 is too large, the reinforcing member 2 is not easy to deform during the adjustment of the profile, and the reinforcing member 2 and the side wall connection are prone to breakage.

[0033] Further, the width of the gap 11 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the bracket body 1.

[0034] From the above description, the width of the gap 11 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the bracket body 1, which is used to expand the fitting range of the bracket body 1, so that the bracket body 1 can fit different radii of glass.

[0035] Further, the reinforcing member 2 is in the shape of an arch bridge, and is located above the notch 11.

[0036] As can be seen from the above description, the reinforcing member 2 in the shape of an arch bridge has good connection strength, and improves the stability and anti-breaking capability of the support body 1.

[0037] Further, the reinforcing member 2 has a first connecting surface 21, and at least a partial region of the first side wall 111 is connected with at least a partial region of the second side wall 112 through the first connecting surface 21 in sequence, and forms a smooth reinforcing surface 3.

[0038] As can be seen from the above description, the first side wall 111 and the second side wall 112 are connected through the first connecting surface 21, and form the smooth reinforcing surface 3, so that the support body 1 has good stability.

[0039] Further, the reinforcing member 2 has a second connecting surface 22, and the second connecting surface 22 and the top of the support body 1 form a smooth curved surface.

[0040] As can be seen from the above description, the second connecting surface 22 and the top of the support body 1 form a smooth curved surface, so as to ensure the aesthetic appearance of the surface of the support body 1.

[0041] In some embodiments, the reinforcing member 2 is in the shape of a flat plate, and the reinforcing member 2 is located in the notch 11.

[0042] As can be seen from the above description, the reinforcing member 2 is in the shape of a flat plate, so that the surface of the support body 1 is more flat, does not interfere with other components, can reduce the space occupied by the reinforcing member 2 to the support body 1, and further can adapt the support body 1 to the glass surface without increasing the overall volume of the support body 1.

[0043] Further, one side of the reinforcing member 2 in the thickness direction is flush with one surface of the support body 1 in the thickness direction, or both surfaces of the reinforcing member 2 in the thickness direction are located between the two surfaces of the support body 1 in the thickness direction.

[0044] As can be seen from the above description, the position of the reinforcing member in the above two manners can improve the flatness of the surface of the support body 1, and improve the utilization rate of the space of the support body 1.

[0045] Further, the reinforcing member 2 is perpendicular to the first side wall 111 and the second side wall 112 respectively.

[0046] As can be seen from the above description, the reinforcing member 2 is perpendicular to the first side wall 111 and the second side wall 112, so as to improve the connection strength between the reinforcing member 2 and the support body 1.

[0047] A bracket assembly comprises a reinforcing member 2 and at least two bracket bodies 1;

[0048] The bracket bodies 1 are connected by the reinforcing member 2.

[0049] As can be seen from the above description, the gap is arranged between the two adjacent bracket bodies 1, and the two adjacent bracket bodies 1 are connected by the reinforcing member 2, so as to expand the adjustable space between the two adjacent bracket bodies 1 and improve the fitting degree of the bracket assembly and the glass surface. In some preferred cases, the width of the gap 4 is determined according to the actual production process. When the width of the gap 4 is less than or equal to twice the thickness of the bracket body 1, the reinforcing member 2 in the shape of an arch bridge is used for connection. When the width of the gap 4 is greater than or equal to twice the thickness of the bracket body 1, the reinforcing member 2 in the shape of a flat plate is used for connection. In this way, the bracket assembly is formed into an integrated structure, the production efficiency and yield of the glass assembly product are improved, the adjustable space between the two adjacent bracket bodies 1 is expanded, and the fitting degree of the large bracket assembly and the glass surface is improved.

[0050] Please refer to Figures 1-3 The embodiment one of the present application is:

Preferably, the thickness of the reinforcing member 2 is one fifth, one fourth, one third, one half, two thirds, or equal to the thickness of the bracket body 1, and the width of the gap 11 is equal to the thickness of the bracket body 1 or 1.1 times, 1.2 times, 1.3 times, 1.4 times, 1.5 times, 1.6 times, 1.7 times, 1.8 times, 1.9 times, 2 times, 2.5 times, 3 times, 3.5 times, 4 times, 5 times, 6 times, 7 times, 8 times, 9 times, or 10 times the thickness of the bracket body 1.

[0056] In the embodiment, the reinforcing member 2 has a first connecting surface 21 and a second connecting surface 22, at least a partial region of the first side wall 111 is connected to at least a partial region of the second side wall 112 through the first connecting surface 21 in turn, and a smooth reinforcing surface 3 is formed, and the reinforcing surface 3 is in a U shape; the reinforcing member 2 has a second connecting surface 22 and a top of the bracket body 1 to form a smooth curved surface, and the curved surface is in an Ω shape. It is worth noting that the top mentioned above refers to Figure 1 The direction indicated by the arrow "up" in the middle, and in the actual use process, the direction can be adjusted according to the actual use situation.

[0059] In the embodiment, the reinforcing member 2 is in a flat plate shape, the reinforcing member 2 is located in the gap 11, and the reinforcing member 2 is perpendicular to the first side wall 111 and the second side wall 112.

[0060] In the embodiment, one side of the reinforcing member 2 in the thickness direction is parallel to one surface of the bracket body 1 in the thickness direction, and preferably, one side of the reinforcing member 2 in the thickness direction is flush with the side of the bracket body 1 for assembling components; in other equivalent embodiments, both surfaces of the reinforcing member 2 in the thickness direction are located between the two surfaces of the bracket body 1 in the thickness direction, and preferably, the reinforcing member 2 is centrally arranged in the bracket body 1 in the thickness direction.

[0061] Please refer to Figures 5-6 Embodiment three of the present application is:

[0062] The difference between the present embodiment and Embodiments One and Two is that a gap 4 is arranged between two adjacent bracket bodies 1, and the two adjacent bracket bodies 1 are connected by the reinforcing member 2.
