Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] As users have increasingly higher demands for vehicle appearance, the need for styling the exterior trim around the windows is also growing, and making the trim more three-dimensional can enhance the user experience. Currently, the trim around the edges of the window glass has a poor appearance and is difficult to adapt flexibly to the application needs of various scenarios. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The embodiments of this application provide a window assembly and a vehicle that can enhance the aesthetic appearance of the exterior panel assembly, making the exterior panel assembly more three-dimensional and colorful.

[0004] In a first aspect, this application provides a vehicle window assembly, including a window glass and an exterior trim assembly. The exterior trim assembly includes a base plate and at least one first structural member. The base plate is connected to the edge of the window glass and includes an outer surface facing outwards. The first structural member is connected to the outer surface of the base plate, and at least a portion of the first structural member is protruding or recessed relative to the base plate. The optical properties of the base plate are different from those of the first structural member, and the optical properties include object color, gloss, light refraction, and light absorption.

[0005] Understandably, the protruding first structural component relative to the substrate can make the exterior panel assembly more three-dimensional. Furthermore, the different optical properties of the first structural component and the substrate can enrich the visual effect of the exterior panel assembly. Since the first structural component is an independent part, it can be colored by electroplating or baking paint before being installed on the substrate, solving the problem in the prior art where the exterior panel assembly structure is too large and difficult to process, making it impossible to create exterior surfaces with different optical properties.

[0006] In addition, since the first structural member protrudes relative to the substrate, the structural strength of the trim assembly can be increased, so that when the trim assembly is subjected to force, the protruding part can bear the force first, avoiding damage to the substrate due to direct impact.

[0007] In one possible implementation, there are multiple first structural members, and the optical properties of the multiple first structural members may be the same or different.

[0008] Understandably, having the same optical properties as the substrate allows for a more unified color design in the exterior panel assembly. Conversely, having different optical properties between the first structural component and the substrate can enrich the overall appearance of the exterior panel assembly. Different optical properties of the first structural component can be selected based on the specific application scenario.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the exterior panel assembly further includes at least one second structural member connected to a first structural member on the side away from the substrate, the second structural member having optical properties different from those of the first structural member.

[0010] Understandably, because the optical properties of the first and second structural components are different, the appearance of the exterior panel assembly can be enriched, giving the exterior panel not only a three-dimensional structure, but also multiple colors and multi-layered structures, thereby enhancing the aesthetic appearance of the exterior panel.

[0011] In one possible implementation, a first groove is recessed on the outer surface of the substrate, the first structural member is connected to the first groove, a portion of the first structural member is located in the first groove, and another portion of the first structural member protrudes relative to the substrate.

[0012] It is understandable that the first groove allows part of the first structural component to be embedded in the first substrate, thereby making the connection between the first structural component and the substrate tighter and making the appearance of the first structural component and the substrate simpler and more integrated.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the exterior panel assembly further includes a spacer disposed between the first structural member and the substrate, with one end of the spacer connected to the substrate and the other end of the spacer connected to the first structural member.

[0014] Understandably, the spacer can create a certain gap between the first structural component and the substrate, thereby making the first structural component protrude more relative to the substrate, increasing the three-dimensionality of the exterior panel assembly and enhancing its aesthetic appearance.

[0015] In one possible implementation, the height of the spacer is in the range of 1.0 mm to 1.5 mm.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the first groove includes a first groove bottom wall, the first groove bottom wall is provided with a first limiting portion, the first structural member is provided with a second limiting portion, and the first limiting portion and the second limiting portion cooperate to restrict the movement of the first structural member relative to the substrate.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the first groove includes a first groove sidewall that surrounds the first structural member and is spaced apart from the first structural member, and the distance between the first groove sidewall and the first structural member is in the range of 0.3mm-0.8mm.

[0018] In one possible implementation, the surface of the first structural member away from the substrate is recessed with a second groove, the second structural member is located in the second groove, and the side of the second structural member facing outward is flush with the side of the first structural member facing outward.

[0019] In one possible implementation, the exterior panel assembly further includes a connector, the second groove includes a second groove bottom wall and a second groove side wall disposed around the periphery of the second groove bottom wall, the second structural member has a gap with the second groove bottom wall, and the second groove side wall is disposed around the periphery of the second structural member and spaced apart from the second structural member.

[0020] In one possible implementation, the distance between the second structural member and the bottom wall of the second groove is between 1.0 mm and 1.5 mm.

[0021] In one possible implementation, the distance between the second structural member and the sidewall of the second groove is between 0.3 mm and 0.8 mm.

[0022] Secondly, this application provides a vehicle, including a vehicle body and a window assembly as described above, the window assembly being connected to the vehicle body. Attached Figure Description

[0034] For ease of understanding, the terminology used in the embodiments of this application will be explained first.

[0035] And / or: This is simply a way of describing the relationship between related objects. It indicates that there can be three kinds of relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent three situations: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone.

[0036] Multiple: refers to two or more.

[0037] Connection: should be interpreted broadly. For example, the connection between A and B can be a direct connection between A and B, or an indirect connection between A and B through an intermediary.

[0038] The specific embodiments of this application will now be clearly described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0039] As users have increasingly higher demands for vehicle appearance, the need for styling the exterior trim around the windows is also growing, and making the trim more three-dimensional can enhance the user experience. Currently, the trim around the edges of the window glass has a poor appearance and is difficult to adapt flexibly to the application needs of various scenarios.

[0040] Based on this, embodiments of this application provide a window assembly and a vehicle that can enhance the aesthetic appearance of the exterior panel assembly, making the exterior panel assembly more three-dimensional and colorful.

[0041] The vehicle includes a body and a window assembly, which is connected to the body. The window assembly may be located at the side window or sunroof position, etc., and this application does not specify the location of the window assembly.

[0042] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of the window assembly 1000 provided in an embodiment of this application. The window assembly 1000 includes a window glass 100 and an exterior trim panel assembly 200. Please refer to... Figure 2 , Figure 2 yes Figure 1 The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of the exterior panel assembly 200. The exterior panel assembly 200 may include a base plate 210, a reinforcing plate 220, at least one first structural member 230, and at least one second structural member 240.

[0043] It should be noted that, Figure 1 The purpose of this illustration is solely to depict the connection relationship between the window glass 100 and the exterior trim assembly 200, and is not to specifically limit the connection positions, specific structures, or quantities of the various devices. Furthermore, the structures illustrated in this application's embodiments do not constitute a specific limitation on the window assembly 1000. In other embodiments of this application, the window assembly 1000 may include more or fewer components than illustrated, or combine certain components, or split certain components, or have different component arrangements. The illustrated components may be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of both.

[0044] The substrate 210 is attached to the edge of the window glass 100. (See also...) Figure 3 , Figure 3 yes Figure 1 The diagram shows a partially enlarged cross-sectional view of the first type of exterior trim assembly 200. The substrate 210 includes an outer surface 211 and an inner surface 212 disposed opposite to each other. The outer surface 211 faces outwards, and the inner surface 212 faces inwards. The outer surface 211 may be a first color. The substrate 210 may have a first groove 213 recessed from the outer surface 211. The first groove 213 includes a first groove bottom wall 2131 and a first groove side wall 2132. The first groove side wall 2132 surrounds the first groove bottom wall 2131 and extends from its periphery. The first groove side wall 2132 may be inclined, meaning it forms an angle with the thickness direction of the exterior trim assembly 200. The first groove bottom wall 2131 has a first limiting portion 214, which, for example, may be a through hole, a blind hole, or a protrusion. This application does not impose specific limitations on the structure of the first limiting part 214.

[0045] Understandably, the first groove 213 allows a portion of the first structural member 230 to be embedded in the first substrate 210, resulting in a tighter connection between the first structural member 230 and the substrate 210, and a simpler and more integrated appearance for both. The inclined sidewall 2132 of the first groove allows the first structural member 230 to conceal the bottom wall 2131 of the first groove after it is connected to the substrate 210, further simplifying the appearance of the outer panel assembly 200.

[0046] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 4 yes Figure 1 The diagram shows a partially enlarged cross-sectional view of the second type of exterior panel assembly 200. It should be noted that the substrate 210 may also omit the first groove 213, and the first structural member 230 may be directly connected to one side of the outer surface 211 of the substrate 210.

[0047] The reinforcing plate 220 is stacked on the substrate 210, and the reinforcing plate 220 is disposed on one side of the inner surface 212 of the substrate 210. The reinforcing plate is used to increase the structural strength of the exterior panel assembly 200, thereby giving the exterior panel assembly 200 a certain impact resistance.

[0048] Please refer to the following: Figure 2 For example, the exterior panel assembly 200 may further include a fastener 250, through which the reinforcing plate 220 is connected to the substrate 210. The fastener 250 may be a screw or adhesive, etc. The reinforcing plate 220 may also be provided with a first limiting structure (not shown), and the substrate 210 may also be provided with a second limiting structure (not shown). The first limiting structure and the second limiting structure mutually limit each other to connect the reinforcing plate 220 to the substrate 210. The first limiting structure and the second limiting structure may be a slot and a protrusion, respectively, which engage and limit each other, thereby connecting the reinforcing plate 220 to the substrate 210. This application does not specifically limit the connection method between the reinforcing plate 220 and the substrate 210; the reinforcing plate 220 and the substrate 210 may be fixedly connected by other commonly used methods.

[0049] Please refer to the following: Figure 3 The first structural member 230 is connected to the outer surface 211 of the substrate 210, and the first structural member 230 protrudes relative to the substrate 210. The first structural member 230 may include an exterior surface 231 and a connecting surface 232 disposed opposite to each other. The exterior surface 231 is the side facing outwards of the vehicle and is part of the exterior surface of the exterior trim assembly 200. The exterior surface 231 may be arc-shaped, and the connecting surface 232 is the side of the first structural member 230 facing the substrate 210. The exterior surface 231 may be convex, and the edge of the exterior surface 231 may be flush with the outer surface 211 of the substrate 210, so that the appearance of the first structural member 230 and the substrate 210 is more concise and integrated.

[0050] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 5 yes Figure 1 The diagram shows a partially enlarged cross-sectional view of the third type of exterior panel assembly 200. The thickness direction of the exterior panel assembly 200 is indicated by the Y-axis in the diagram. In one possible embodiment, the first structural member 230 may further be provided with a second groove 233, which is recessed from the outer surface 231 of the first structural member 230. The second groove 233 includes a second groove bottom wall 2331 and a second groove side wall 2332. The second groove side wall 2332 is located around the periphery of the second groove bottom wall 2331 and is connected to the periphery of the second groove bottom wall 2331. The second groove side wall 2332 may be inclined, meaning that the second groove side wall 2332 forms an angle with the thickness direction of the exterior panel assembly 200.

[0051] Understandably, the inclined arrangement of the second groove sidewall 2332 allows the second structural member 240 to be connected to the first structural member 230, and the second structural member 240 to hide the bottom wall 2331 of the second groove, thereby making the appearance of the exterior panel assembly 200 more concise.

[0052] Please refer to the following: Figure 3 It should be noted that the first structural member 230 may not have the second groove 233 provided, and the second structural member 240 may be directly connected to the side of the first structural member 230 away from the substrate 210.

[0053] The optical properties of the outer surface of the first structural component 230 are different from those of the outer surface (outer surface 211) of the substrate 210. These optical properties include object color, gloss, light refraction, and / or light absorption. Object color refers to the color of light after it has been reflected or projected by the object. Gloss is a physical quantity used to evaluate the ability of an object's surface to reflect light; it can be used to measure the specular reflectivity of the object's surface. The property of light to penetrate an object and continue propagating is called refraction. Refraction is essentially the transmission of light; before and after passing through the object, a regular reversal of the propagation direction occurs at the object's surface. During the transmission of light through an object, the object can selectively absorb energy of a portion of its wavelengths; this is called light absorption.

[0054] The surface 231 of the first structural component 230 can have a second color, which is different from the first color. The surface 231 of the first structural component 230 can be colored by methods such as electroplating or baking paint.

[0055] Understandably, the protruding first structural member 230 relative to the substrate 210 can make the appearance of the outer panel assembly 200 more three-dimensional. Furthermore, the different optical properties of the first structural member 230 and the substrate 210 can enrich the morphology of the outer panel assembly 200. Since the first structural member 230 is an independent component, it can be colored by electroplating or baking paint before being installed on the substrate 210, solving the problem in the prior art where the outer panel assembly 200 is too large and difficult to process, making it impossible to set areas with different optical properties.

[0056] Please refer to the following: Figure 4 In one possible implementation, the substrate 210 may also be flat. That is, the substrate 210 does not have the first groove 213. And the outer trim assembly 200 does not have the second structural member 240. The first structural member 230 is directly connected to the outer surface 211 of the substrate 210. The substrate 210 may have a first limiting portion 214, and the first structural member 230 may have a second limiting portion 234. The first limiting portion 214 and the second limiting portion 234 cooperate to restrict the movement of the first structural member relative to the substrate, so that the substrate 210 and the first structural member 230 are stably connected. For example, the first limiting portion 214 may be a through hole, and the second limiting portion 234 may be a hot-melt pillar. The hot-melt pillar includes a pillar portion 2341 and an abutment portion 2342. The pillar portion 2341 extends from the connecting surface 232, and the abutment portion 2342 is connected to the end of the pillar portion 2341 away from the connecting surface 232. The hot-melt column penetrates the through-hole, and the end of the hot-melt column away from the main body is heated and deformed to form an abutment portion 2342. The diameter of the abutment portion 2342 is larger than the diameter of the through-hole, so that the hot-melt column abuts against the inner surface 212 of the substrate 210. The distance D between the hot-melt column and the hole wall of the through-hole can be between 0.5mm and 1.0mm.

[0057] Please refer to the following: Figure 3 and Figure 6 , Figure 6 yes Figure 3 The diagram shows the gap markings of the exterior panel assembly 200. In another possible implementation, unlike the above embodiment, the first structural member 230 may be partially located in the first groove 213 described above, and another portion of the first structural member protrudes relative to the substrate. Specifically, the first structural member 230 is connected to the first groove bottom wall 2131 of the first groove 213. The second limiting portion 234 and the first limiting portion 214 mutually limit each other, so that the first structural member 230 is connected to the substrate 210. The first groove sidewall 2132 surrounds the first structural member 230, and the first groove sidewall 2132 is spaced from the structural member by a second preset distance d2, the second preset distance d2 being between 0.3mm and 0.8mm.

[0058] For example, the exterior panel assembly 200 may also include connecting structures such as adhesives or screws, and the first structural member 230 may also be connected to the substrate 210 via connecting structures such as adhesives or screws. This application does not specifically limit the connection method between the first structural member 230 and the substrate 210.

[0059] like Figure 3 As shown, the exterior panel assembly 200 may further include a spacer 260, which is disposed between the first structural member 230 and the substrate 210, such that the connecting surface 232 of the first structural member 230 is spaced from the bottom wall of the groove by a first preset distance d1. The first preset distance d1 can be between 1.0mm and 1.5mm. The first preset distance d1 is also the height of the spacer 260, and the spacer 260 and the height direction are in the thickness direction of the exterior panel assembly 200. For example, two spacers 260 may be provided between one first structural member 230 and the substrate 210. This application does not impose a specific limitation on the number of spacers 260 between one first structural member 230 and the substrate 210.

[0060] Understandably, the spacer 260 allows for a certain distance between the first structural member 230 and the substrate 210, making the first structural member 230 protrude more relative to the substrate 210, increasing the three-dimensionality of the outer panel assembly 200 and enhancing its aesthetic appearance. By providing two spacers 260 between the first structural member 230 and the substrate 210, there are two abutting positions between them, making the relative position of the first structural member 230 and the substrate 210 more stable and preventing the first structural member 230 from easily wobbling relative to the substrate 210.

[0061] In one possible implementation, the spacer 260 can be connected to the substrate 210. In an implementation where the substrate 210 does not have the first groove 213, the spacer 260 can protrude relative to the outer surface 211 of the substrate 210. In an implementation where the substrate 210 has the first groove 213, the spacer 260 can also be connected to the first groove bottom wall 2131 of the first groove 213, protruding relative to the first groove bottom wall 2131.

[0062] In another possible implementation, the spacer 260 may be connected to the connecting surface 232 of the first structural member 230, and protrude from the connecting surface 232. It should be noted that this application does not impose specific limitations on the connection method or the formation method of the spacer 260.

[0063] Please refer to the following: Figure 5The second structural member 240 can be connected to the side of the first structural member 230 facing outwards. The second structural member 240 can be connected to the first structural member 230 via an adhesive. A gap exists between the second structural member 240 and the first structural member 230. For example, the second structural member 240 can be flat. The second structural member 240 includes an outer surface 241 and a connecting surface 242. Please refer to reference 5 and... Figure 7 , Figure 7 yes Figure 5 The diagram shows the gap markings of the exterior trim assembly 200. In one possible embodiment, the second structural member 240 can be connected to the second groove 233. The connecting surface 232 of the second structural member 240 is connected to the bottom wall 2331 of the second groove, and the side wall 2332 of the second groove surrounds the periphery of the second structural member 240 and is spaced apart from the second structural member. The second structural member 240 and the bottom wall 2331 of the second groove are spaced apart by a third preset distance d3. The third preset distance d3 ranges from 1.0mm to 1.5mm. The second structural member 240 and the side wall 2332 of the second groove are spaced apart by a fourth preset distance d4. The fourth preset distance d4 ranges from 0.3mm to 0.8mm. For example, the side of the second structural member 240 facing outwards can be flush with the side of the first structural member 230 facing outwards. That is, the outer surface 241 of the second structural member 240 away from the first structural member 230 can be flat and flush with the opening of the second groove 233 in the first structural member 230.

[0064] In another possible implementation, unlike the above implementation, the first structural member 230 does not have a second groove 233, and the second structural member 240 is connected to the outer surface 231 of the first structural member 230, with the outer surface 241 of the second structural member 240 protruding relative to the outer surface 231 of the first structural member 230. The distance between the end of the second structural member 240 facing the first structural member 230 and the outer surface 231 of the first structural member 230 is a third preset distance d3, which is between 1.0 mm and 1.5 mm.

[0065] Understandably, the protrusion of the second structural member 240 relative to the first structural member 230 can make the appearance of the exterior panel assembly 200 more three-dimensional, give the exterior panel assembly 200 a multi-layer structure, and thus make the appearance of the exterior panel assembly 200 more recognizable.

[0066] In this application, the object color of the second structural component 240 can be a third color. The third color of the second structural component 240 can be different from the second color of the first structural component 230, and the third color of the second structural component 240 can be the same as the first color of the substrate 210. The color of the second structural component 240 can be formed by electroplating or baking paint processes. Furthermore, the process method of the second structural component 240 can be different from that of the first structural component 230. For example, the second color and the third color can be formed by electroplating and baking paint, respectively. For example, the first color of the substrate 210 can be glossy black, the second color of the first structural component 230 can be silver, and the third color of the second structural component 240 can be the same as the first color of the substrate 210.

[0067] Understandably, the different colors of the first structural component 230 and the second structural component 240 allow for a richer color palette in the exterior panel assembly 200. This results in the exterior panel assembly 200 not only having a three-dimensional structure but also featuring multiple colors and multi-layered structures, thereby enhancing the aesthetic appearance of the exterior panel. The fact that the exterior color of the second structural component 240 matches the exterior color of the substrate 210 contributes to a more harmonious color design for the exterior panel.

[0068] In addition, since the first structural member 230 and the second structural member 240 protrude from the substrate 210, the structural strength of the trim assembly can be increased, so that when the trim assembly is subjected to force, the protruding part can bear the force first, and the substrate 210 can be prevented from being damaged by direct impact.

[0069] Furthermore, since the first structural component 230 and the second structural component 240 have different color formation methods, the gloss of the surfaces of the first structural component 230 and the second structural component 240 is also different, which also enhances the appearance diversity of the exterior panel assembly 200 and optimizes the appearance of the exterior panel assembly 200.

[0070] The first structural member 230 and / or the second structural member 240 of this application may also be made of a light-transmitting material. Furthermore, the light refraction and light absorption capabilities of the multiple first structural members 230 and the multiple second structural members 240 may be different.

[0071] In some other embodiments, the first structural member 230 and / or the second structural member 240 may be recessed relative to the substrate 210. For details, please refer to... Figure 8 , Figure 8 yes Figure 1The diagram shows a partially enlarged cross-sectional view of the fourth type of exterior panel assembly 200. The first structural member 230 may be disposed within a first groove of the substrate 210, and the first structural member 230 is recessed relative to the substrate 210. Alternatively, please refer to... Figure 9 , Figure 9 yes Figure 1 The diagram shows a partially enlarged cross-sectional view of the fifth type of exterior panel assembly 200. The second structural member 240 can be connected to the side of the first structural member 230 away from the substrate 210, and the second structural member 240 can be flush with the first structural member 230. The second structural member 240 is also recessed relative to the substrate. Specifically, the outer surface 241 of the second structural member 240 away from the first structural member 230 can be flat and flush with the opening of the second recess 233 in the first structural member 230. Alternatively, please refer to... Figure 10 , Figure 10 yes Figure 1 The diagram shows a partially enlarged cross-sectional view of the sixth type of exterior trim assembly 200. (Compared to...) Figure 9 The difference is that the second structural member 240 can also be recessed relative to the first structural member 230, and the outer surface 241 of the second structural member 240 is recessed relative to the outer surface 231 of the first structural member 230.

[0072] It is understandable that by recessing the first structural member 230 and / or the second structural member 240 relative to the substrate 210, the appearance of the originally planar exterior panel assembly can be made more three-dimensional, giving the exterior panel assembly 200 a multi-layer structure, thereby making the appearance of the exterior panel assembly 200 more recognizable.

[0073] It should be noted that there may be multiple first structural members 230 in this application, which are spaced apart and connected to the outer surface 211 of the substrate 210. The optical properties of the multiple first structural members may be the same or different. The second colors of the multiple first structural members 230 may be different. There may also be multiple second structural members 240, which may be respectively disposed on the side of the multiple first structural members 230 away from the substrate 210. The number of first structural members 230 and the number of second structural members 240 can be set according to actual usage requirements; this application does not limit the number of first structural members 230 and second structural members 240. For example, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 2 There may be three first structural members 230, which may be spaced apart on the outer surface 211 of the substrate 210. There may also be three second structural members 240, which may be respectively disposed on the side of the three first structural members 230 away from the substrate 210. Both the first structural members 230 and the second structural members 240 may be elongated strips, with their length extending along the outer surface 211 of the substrate 210.

[0074] The embodiments of this application have been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this application. The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of this application. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the ideas of this application. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
