[0002] With the rapid development of the automobile industry and the improvement of customers' quality of life, they have higher requirements for the all-round performance of automobiles, and the convenience of automobiles is the key aspect that customers pay attention to. In order to improve the convenience of vehicles, one-touch lifting and lowering of automobile doors and windows has been configured in more and more models. Among them, the glass lifter is an important part of the automobile door and window lifting system, which affects the smoothness of the glass when lifting and lowering and the sealing between the glass and the door and window.

[0003] In the related art, the glass lifter has two fixed sliders. Due to the length tolerance of the steel wire rope and the structure of the slider itself, the slider has an unavoidable height difference. Due to the height difference between the two sliders, the door glass has the problem of rotating forward or backward after installation, which causes the glass to deviate from the normal design trajectory and the gap with the glass guide groove becomes smaller. In the later use process, as the glass guide groove ages, there will be friction noise between the glass and the guide groove, and it will be difficult to lift and lower.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an improved adjustable slider assembly to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0028] Next, the embodiments of this specification are described in detail.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the adjustable slider assembly of the present invention includes a separation slider 10, a fixed slider 20, a fastener 30, and a buffer foam 40. The separation slider 10 is movably connected to the fixed slider 20, the upper portion of the separation slider 10 is fixedly matched with the glass fixing clamp 50, and the adjustable slider assembly is connected to the glass 60 through the glass fixing clamp 50.

[0030] In the present invention, the description of the component direction follows the conventional definition of the vehicle direction in the industry, that is, the vehicle length direction is the X direction, the vehicle width direction is the Y direction, and the vehicle height direction is the Z direction. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the separation slide 10 includes an upper connecting portion 13 , a lower connecting portion 14 , a first adjusting structure 11 disposed on the upper connecting portion 13 , and a second adjusting structure 12 disposed on the lower connecting portion 14 .

[0031] The first adjustment structure 11 is located above the second adjustment structure 12. The first adjustment structure 11 allows the separation slider 10 to move in a first direction, and the second adjustment structure 12 allows the separation slider 10 to move in a second direction relative to the fixed slider 20, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. Specifically, the first direction is the Z direction, and the second direction is the X direction.

[0032] The first adjustment structure 11 includes two first waist-shaped holes, and the straight edges of the first waist-shaped holes are arranged along the Z direction. The second adjustment structure 12 includes a second waist-shaped hole, and the straight edges of the second waist-shaped hole are arranged along the X direction. The first waist-shaped hole and the second waist-shaped hole are arranged in a triangle on the separation slider 10.

[0033] like Figure 5 As shown, a first step portion 15, a second step portion 16 and a third step portion 17 are formed on both sides of the connection between the upper connecting portion 13 and the lower connecting portion 14. The first step portion 15 is arranged above the second step portion 16.

[0034] The first step portion 15 includes a first Y-direction step surface 150 and a first Z-direction step surface 151, and the second step portion 16 includes a second Y-direction step surface 160 and a second Z-direction step surface 161. The Y-direction thickness of the first Y-direction step surface 150 is smaller than the Y-direction thickness of the second Y-direction step surface 160. The first step portion 15 can be in contact with the glass fixing clamp 50, the second step portion 16 is in contact with the upper end surface of the fixing slider 20, and the third step portion 17 is located above the same side of the second step portion 16.

[0035] The fixed slider 20 includes a main body 21 and a mounting post 22 protruding from a side of the main body 21 toward the separation slider 10. The mounting post 22 passes through the second adjustment structure 12, and the length of the mounting post 22 is greater than the thickness of the second adjustment structure 12.

[0036] like Figure 4As shown, the fastener 30 is installed on the mounting column 22, and passes through the separation slider 10 and the fixed slider 20 in the third direction to connect the two. The fastener 30 fits the end surface of the mounting column 22, so that a movable gap L is formed between the fixed slider 20 and the fastener 30 for the separation slider 10 to move in the third direction. The third direction is perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction, and the third direction is the Y direction.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, the movable gap L of the separation slider 10 in the Y direction is 1.5 mm.

[0038] The buffer foam 40 is disposed between the separation slider 10 and the fixed slider 20. The thickness of the buffer foam 40 is preferably 2.0 mm to prevent the glass from generating friction noise when it is raised or lowered.

[0039] During the installation of the adjustable slider assembly, the separation slider 10 can be displaced and adjusted in the first direction and the second direction, thereby ensuring that the glass also has adjustment space during installation, so that the glass 60 is always within the design position tolerance range, avoiding tilt problems, ensuring that the glass is raised and lowered smoothly without hysteresis, and avoiding abnormal noise.

[0040] The above is only a preferred implementation mode of the present application, and does not constitute any form of limitation to the present application. Although the present application has been disclosed as a preferred implementation mode as above, it is not used to limit the present application. Any technician familiar with this profession can make some changes or modify the technical contents disclosed above into equivalent implementation modes without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present application. However, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above implementation modes based on the technical essence of the present application without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present application still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present application.
