Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the invention entitled "Glass Plate Assembly" with patent application number CN201880006563.8 and original filing date of January 11, 2018. Technical Field

[0002] This invention relates to glass plate assemblies. Background Technology

[0003] As a fixed window for a vehicle, various fixed windows are proposed, such as the structure described in Patent Document 1. This fixed window has a waterproof trim strip installed around the glass panel to secure it to the vehicle body.

[0006] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2012-66753 Summary of the Invention

[0007] The problem that the invention aims to solve

[0008] However, in such fixed windows, there is a portion installed adjacent to an openable / closable door on the vehicle body. Therefore, in fixed windows, a rubber or resin lip is installed at the part that contacts the door to prevent rain from entering. However, when such a lip is installed, there is a problem that the collision noise between the door and the lip increases, so a technology to reduce this collision noise is highly anticipated.

[0009] The present invention was made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide a glass panel assembly capable of reducing the impact noise of a door.

[0010] Technical solutions for solving the problem

[0011] The glass panel assembly of the present invention can be installed adjacent to a door of a vehicle that is opened and closed. The glass panel assembly includes: a glass panel; a window fitting fixed to the periphery of the glass panel; and a strip portion fixed to the window fitting, including a cylindrical strip portion body having a through hole extending along the window fitting, the strip portion body being configured to contact a portion of the closed door.

[0012] According to this structure, because it has a cylindrical strip body with a through hole that contacts a portion of the closed door, the strip body can absorb the impact when the door is closed. That is, the strip body has a through hole, so the strip body is easy to deform when the door contacts it, thus reducing the door's impact noise.

[0013] In the glass panel assembly described above, a notch extending along the window fitting can be formed on the inner wall surface of the through hole in the main body of the insert strip.

[0014] According to this structure, because a notch is formed on the inner wall of the through hole, the reaction force generated by the deformation of the main body of the insert can be reduced, and the collision noise can be further reduced.

[0015] In the aforementioned glass panel assembly, the insert may further include a connecting portion for connecting the insert body to the window fitting, the connecting portion having a flat surface extending along the window fitting, and the window fitting may include a flat surface for bonding with the flat surface of the connecting portion.

[0016] Therefore, since the flat surfaces of the window fittings and the trim are bonded together and fixed, the trim can be installed simply and securely.

[0017] In the aforementioned glass plate assembly, the insert can be formed from a foamed material.

[0018] This makes the trim section more flexible in its deformation. As a result, it can further absorb the impact of the door, thus further mitigating the noise of collisions.

[0019] In the glass plate assembly described above, a wear-resistant coating can be applied to the insert portion.

[0020] Therefore, even if the door is subjected to multiple impacts, wear on the trim strip can be suppressed. Thus, the impact resistance of the trim strip can be maintained.

[0021] In the glass panel assembly described above, at least one rib extending along the through hole can be formed in the insert portion, and the rib can be configured to contact the vehicle body.

[0022] In the aforementioned glass panel assemblies, the cross-sectional shape of the main body of the insert strip is not particularly limited, and can be, for example, triangular, circular, elliptical, polygonal, etc.

[0023] Invention Effects

[0024] The glass panel assembly according to the present invention can reduce the impact noise of a door. Attached Figure Description

[0031] Hereinafter, an embodiment in which the glass panel assembly of the present invention is applied to a fixed window at the rear of a vehicle will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 This is a diagram of the area near the rear of a vehicle equipped with the glass panel assembly of this embodiment. Figure 2 This is a plan view of the glass panel assembly from inside the vehicle body. Figure 3 It indicates the door is open. Figure 2 AA section diagram, Figure 4 It indicates that the door is closed. Figure 2 AA section diagram.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the glass panel assembly 10 of this embodiment constitutes a fixed window configured to be adjacent to the window glass 51 of the rear section 5 on the side of the vehicle body. More specifically, the window glass 51 of the rear section 5 is formed into a rectangle, and a window frame 52 is formed to surround the front, top, and rear sides of the window glass 51. In the window frame 52, a rear pillar 521 extending along the rear side of the window glass 51 is adjacent to the aforementioned glass panel assembly 10.

[0033] In addition, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a triangular mounting recess 81 for mounting the glass panel assembly 10 is formed on the side of the vehicle body, one side of which is adjacent to the rear pillar 521 of the rear door 5. A door mounting portion 82 is formed adjacent to the mounting recess 81 on the vehicle body, for mounting the rear end portion of the rear door 5 including the rear pillar 521. The door mounting portion 82 is further recessed into the vehicle body than the mounting recess 81 and is continuous with the mounting recess 81 via a connecting portion 83. Thus, the mounting recess 81 and the door mounting portion 82 are connected in a stepped manner. When the rear door 5 is closed, i.e., when the rear pillar 521 of the rear door 5 is positioned in the door mounting portion 82, as described later, the rear pillar 521 contacts the insert portion 3 of the glass panel assembly 10. The glass panel assembly will now be described in detail.

[0034] <1. Overview of the Glass Panel Assembly>

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, the glass panel assembly 10 includes: a glass panel 1; a window fitting 2, which is installed along the periphery of the glass panel 1; a strip 3, which is installed on a portion of the window fitting 2; and fixing protrusions 41 and 42, which are used to fix the glass panel assembly 10 to the mounting recess 81. First, the glass panel 1 will be described.

[0036] <1-1. Glass Plate>

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, the glass plate 1 is formed into a triangular shape with an upper side 11, a front side 12, and a lower side 13 as its outline. The upper side 11 is slightly curved and slopes downwards towards the rear. The front side 12 is formed opposite to the rear pillar 521 of the aforementioned rear section 5, and is formed into a generally straight shape such that it slopes downwards towards the rear from the front end of the upper side 11. The lower side 13 is formed to slope slightly from the lower end of the front side 12 and slopes slightly upwards towards the rear.

[0038] As glass plate 1, a known glass plate can be used, which can be formed from heat-absorbing glass, general transparent glass and / or green glass, or UV green glass. The following is an example of the composition of transparent glass, heat-absorbing glass, and soda-lime glass.

[0039] (Transparent glass)

[0040] SiO2: 70-73% by mass

[0041] Al2O3: 0.6–2.4% by mass

[0042] CaO: 7–12% by mass

[0043] MgO: 1.0–4.5% by mass

[0044] R₂O: 13–15% by mass (R is an alkali metal)

[0045] Total iron oxide (T-Fe2O3) converted to Fe2O3: 0.08–0.14% by mass

[0046] (Heat-absorbing glass)

[0047] The composition of the heat-absorbing glass can be set as follows: for example, based on the composition of transparent glass, the ratio of total iron oxide (T-Fe2O3) converted to Fe2O3 is set to 0.4 to 1.3% by mass, the ratio of CeO2 is set to 0 to 2% by mass, the ratio of TiO2 is set to 0 to 0.5% by mass, and the skeleton composition of the glass (mainly SiO2 and / or Al2O3) is set to a value that reduces the increase in T-Fe2O3, CeO2 and TiO2.

[0048] (Sodium-calcium glass)

[0049] SiO2: 65-80% by mass

[0050] Al2O3: 0–5% by mass

[0051] CaO: 5–15% by mass

[0052] MgO: 2% by mass or more

[0053] NaO: 10-18% by mass

[0054] K2O: 0-5% by mass

[0055] MgO + CaO: 5–15% by mass

[0056] Na₂O + K₂O: 10–20% by mass

[0057] SO3: 0.05–0.3% by mass

[0058] B2O3: 0-5% by mass

[0059] Total iron oxide (T-Fe2O3) converted to Fe2O3: 0.02–0.03% by mass

[0060] The thickness of the glass plate 1 in this embodiment is not particularly limited, but is preferably set to 2.4 to 7.0 mm, and even more preferably 2.8 to 5.0 mm.

[0061] Additionally, a shielding layer 15 is laminated on a dark ceramic layer, such as black, around the periphery of the glass panel 1. This shielding layer 15 blocks views from inside or outside the vehicle and is laminated along the three edges of the inner surface of the glass panel 1.

[0062] The shielding layer 15 can be formed from various materials such as ceramics, and can be configured with the following components, for example.

[0063] [Table 1]

[0064] Table 1

[0065] First and second colored ceramic pastes Pigment *1 quality% 20 Resin (cellulose resin) quality% 10 Organic solvent (pine oil) quality% 10 Glass adhesive *2 quality% 65 Viscosity dPs 150

[0066] *1, Main components: copper oxide, chromium oxide, iron oxide, and manganese oxide

[0067] *2, Main components: bismuth borosilicate, zinc borosilicate

[0068] Ceramics can be formed using screen printing, but they can also be produced by transferring a sintering transfer film onto a glass plate and then sintering it. When using screen printing, for example, the following settings can be configured: polyester mesh: 355 mesh; coating thickness: 20 μm; tension: 20 Nm; squeegee hardness: 80 degrees; installation angle: 75°; printing speed: 300 mm / s. The ceramics can then be formed by drying in a drying oven at 150°C for 10 minutes.

[0069] In addition to laminated ceramics, the shielding layer 15 can also be formed by attaching a dark-colored resin shielding film.

[0070] <1-2. Window Fittings>

[0071] Window fitting 2 is embedded in the gap between the glass panel 1 and the vehicle body, and is formed along the periphery of the glass panel 1. As described above, a shielding layer 15 is laminated around the periphery of the glass panel 1, and the window fitting 2 is installed around the periphery of the glass panel 1 with a width smaller than the width of the shielding layer 15 (the length from the end edge of the glass panel 1 inward). Specifically, as... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in the cross-section, the glass plate 1 has the following features: a strip-shaped inner portion 21 along the inner surface of the glass plate 1; a strip-shaped outer portion 22 along the outer surface of the glass plate 1; and a connecting portion 23 extending along the end face of the glass plate 1, connecting the inner portion 21 and the outer portion 22, forming a U-shaped cross-sectional shape. The inner portion 21 is disposed on the shielding layer 15.

[0072] The thickness of the window assembly 2, in other words, the thickness D in the thickness direction of the glass panel 1, is preferably 3mm to 20mm, and more preferably 3mm to 8mm. Furthermore, the inner surface 21 facing the interior of the vehicle is a flat surface. The width W of this flat surface is preferably 2mm to 40mm, and more preferably 4mm to 20mm.

[0073] In addition, when the glass panel assembly 10 is installed on the vehicle body, the window fitting 2 is fixed to the periphery of the opening of the mounting recess 81 by adhesive, forming an opening covered by the glass panel 1.

[0074] The material constituting the window fitting 2 is not particularly limited and can be formed from, for example, TPO (olefin thermoplastic elastomer). Alternatively, it can be formed from, for example, PVC (polyvinyl chloride) or EPDM (ethylene-propylene-diene copolymer rubber).

[0075] <1-3. Inlay Section>

[0076] Next, the insert part 3 will be described. For example... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the trim strip 3 includes: a strip-shaped fixing part 31 that extends along the front edge 12 of the glass panel 1 and is installed on the inner side portion 21 of the window fitting 2; a support leg 32 that extends from the end edge of the fixing part 31 on the vehicle front side into the vehicle interior; and a trim strip body 33 installed on the end edge of the support leg 32 on the vehicle interior side. These fixing parts 31, support legs 32, and trim strip body 33 are integrally formed from the material described later.

[0077] The fixing part 31 has a flat surface 312 extending along the first part 21 of the window fitting 2, which is fixed to the inner part 21 by double-sided tape 7. However, in addition to double-sided tape 7, adhesive can also be used to fix the two. In addition, in the fixing part 31, a rib 311 extending along the front edge 12 of the glass panel 1 is formed on the surface facing the interior of the vehicle body, and the rib 311 contacts the mounting recess 81 of the vehicle body.

[0078] The outrigger 32 is formed to extend from the fixing part 31 toward the interior side of the vehicle body along the connecting part 83 of the vehicle body. In addition, the fixing part 31 and the outrigger 32 correspond to the connecting part of the present invention.

[0079] The main body 33 of the insert is formed as a cylinder having a through hole 335 extending along the front edge 12 of the glass plate 1. Specifically, in cross-section, the main body 33 of the insert is integrally formed from a first part 331, a second part 332 and a third part 333, wherein the first part 331 is flat and extends from the end of the support leg 32 toward the rear door 5 side (the front side of the vehicle) along the door configuration part 82; the second part 332 is curved and extends toward the outer side of the vehicle body in a manner that protrudes from the end of the first part 331 toward the rear door 5 side; the third part 333 extends from the end of the second part 332 on the outer side of the vehicle body toward the inner side of the vehicle body and is connected to the support leg 32.

[0080] In the third part 333, two ribs 334 extending along the front edge 12 of the glass plate 1 are formed parallel to the surface facing the door mounting part 82, and these ribs 334 contact the door mounting part 82. In addition, in the through hole 335 of the strip body 33, a notch 336 extending along the front edge 12 of the glass plate 1 is formed on the inner wall surface of the second part 332.

[0081] The main body 33 of the trim strip, formed in this way, protrudes from the door mounting portion 82 outwards from the vehicle body. The outer end of the trim strip main body 33, i.e., the connecting portion between the second portion 332 and the third portion 333, is positioned at approximately the same location as the window fitting 2, configured such that when the rear door 5 is closed, the rear pillar 521 contacts this portion. More specifically, as... Figure 4As shown, when the rear section 5 is closed, the rear column 521 flattens the main body 33 of the insert section.

[0082] The size of the insert 3 is not particularly limited, and can be set in the following way, for example.

[0083] (1) The width of the flat surface 312 is preferably 1 mm to 40 mm, and more preferably 2 mm to 20 mm. The reason is that if it is less than 2 mm, it is worried that it will be smaller than the width of the double-sided tape 7.

[0084] (2) From the point of view of adhesion, the width of the double-sided tape 7 that bonds the inner part 21 and the flat surface 312 is preferably 3mm to 40mm, and more preferably 4mm to 10mm.

[0085] (3) The height of ribs 331 and 334 is preferably 0.1mm to 5mm, and more preferably 0.5mm to 3mm.

[0086] (4) The height of the support leg 32 (the length in the direction connecting the fixing part 31 and the insert body 33) is preferably 2mm to 20mm, and more preferably 4mm to 10mm. The reason is that the thickness of the support leg 32 is generally about 2mm. Therefore, if it is less than 2mm, it cannot be configured as a support leg. In addition, if it is more than 20mm, the rigidity is insufficient.

[0087] (5) The thickness of the insert part 3, that is, the overall thickness of the fixing part 31, the support leg part 32, and the insert part body 33, is preferably 1mm to 5mm, and more preferably 1.5mm to 3mm. The reason is that if it is less than 1mm, it is difficult to form.

[0088] (6) The width of the notch 336 is preferably 0.1 mm to 2 mm, and more preferably 0.2 mm to 1.0 mm. In addition, the depth of the notch 336 is preferably 0.1 mm to 1.0 mm, and more preferably 0.2 mm to 0.5 mm. The reason is that if the notch 336 is too deep, the part becomes too thin, and the resin is difficult to flow and form during molding.

[0089] (7) Height of the inlay section 3 Figure 3 The height in the vertical direction is preferably 5mm to 40mm, and more preferably 15mm to 30mm.

[0090] The material constituting the insert 3 is not particularly limited, but it is preferably formed from a soft material such as EPDM (ethylene-propylene-diene copolymer rubber). It is especially preferred to be formed from foamable EPDM.

[0091] Alternatively, a wear-resistant coating, such as a silicone slip coating, can be applied to the outer surface of the insert portion 3. The thickness of this coating can be set, for example, from 1 μm to 50 μm.

[0092] Such a strip 3 can be manufactured using various methods. For example, the strip 3 can be divided into three parts along its length (vertical direction): an upper end part, a central part, and a lower end part. After the upper and lower ends are formed by injection molding and the central part is formed by extrusion molding, they can be connected using hot melt welding and / or adhesive. All of them can be bonded to the window fitting 2 by setting the adhesive surface 312. This allows adjustment of the gap between the rear pillar 521 and the window fitting 2. For example, in the configuration of the upper and lower ends, if the gap between the rear pillar 521 and the window fitting 2 differs from that in the configuration of the central part, the thickness of each of the three parts can be adjusted before connecting them. Furthermore, since the upper and lower ends are free ends, reinforcing members made of metal (e.g., SUS430, SUS304, etc.) can be installed at the upper and lower ends to improve rigidity.

[0093] <1-4. Fixing Protrusions>

[0094] In addition, such as Figure 2 As shown, in the glass panel assembly 10, two fixing protrusions 41 and 42 are installed on the side facing the inside of the vehicle. Specifically, the first fixing protrusion 41 is installed near the intersection of the front edge 12 and the upper edge 11 of the glass panel 1, and the second fixing protrusion 42 is installed near the intersection of the upper edge 11 and the lower edge 13. Both fixing protrusions 41 and 42 are installed on the waterproof trim strip 2. These fixing protrusions 41 and 42 are formed into mounting holes (not shown) that are embedded in the periphery of the opening of the mounting recess 81 formed in the vehicle body. Thus, when the window fitting 2 is fixed to the mounting recess 81 with adhesive, it can provide temporary fixation until the adhesive dries.

[0095] <2. Characteristics>

[0096] As described above, the following effects can be obtained according to this embodiment.

[0097] (1) The main body 33 of the insert strip is formed into a cylindrical shape with a through hole 335. Therefore, when the door 5 is closed and the rear post 521 contacts the insert strip 3, as Figure 4 As shown, the strip body 33 is flattened due to the deformation of the through hole 335, and the strip body 33 can absorb the impact when the door 5 comes into contact. That is, when the rear post 521 comes into contact with the strip body 33, the strip body 33 is easy to deform, thus reducing the impact sound of the door.

[0098] (2) A notch 336 is formed on the inner wall surface of the through hole 335 of the insert body 33, which makes the inner wall surface of the through hole 335 easier to deform. Therefore, the reaction force generated by the deformation of the insert body 333 can be reduced, thereby further reducing the impact sound.

[0099] (3) The insert 3 is made of a soft material such as EPDM, which makes it easy to deform, thereby reducing the impact noise.

[0100] (4) The main body 33 of the trim strip is not directly connected to the window fitting 2, but the fixing part 31, which is fixed to the window fitting 2 via the support leg 32, is connected to the main body 33 of the trim strip via the support leg 32. Therefore, when the main body 33 of the trim strip deforms, the double-sided tape 7 can be prevented from falling off due to the force of the deformation. In particular, the support leg 32 and the fixing part 31 extend in a substantially orthogonal direction, so the force acting on the main body 33 of the trim strip can be prevented from acting in the direction in which the fixing part 31 falls off.

[0101] (5) Due to variations in the shape of the main body 33 of the trim strip, there are instances where the gap between the door mounting portion 82 and the main body 33 of the trim strip is inconsistent. Therefore, by providing ribs 334, the position of the main body 33 of the trim strip, especially the hollow portion 335, can be fixed to a certain extent. Furthermore, the ribs 334 prevent direct contact between the main body 33 of the trim strip and the door mounting portion 82, thereby suppressing the frictional resistance between them. By suppressing the frictional resistance between the main body 33 of the trim strip and the door mounting portion 82 in this way, the reaction force from the main body 33 of the trim strip when closing the door 5 can be reduced, preventing abnormal noise. The same applies to the ribs 311 of the fixing portion 31.

[0102] (6) An abrasion-resistant coating is applied to the trim strip 3, so that even if it is subjected to multiple impacts from the door, the wear of the trim strip 3 can be suppressed. Therefore, the impact resistance of the trim strip 3 can be maintained.

[0103] (7) The inner part 21 of the window fitting 2 and the fixing part 31 of the strip part 3 are both formed as flat surfaces, so that the two can be firmly bonded together.

[0104] <3. Variations>

[0105] The present invention has been described above as an embodiment, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment and various modifications can be made without departing from its spirit. In addition, the following variations can be appropriately combined.

[0106] <3-1>

[0107] The material used to form the insert 3 is not particularly limited, but a flexible material that can deform is preferred. Therefore, all foamed resin materials can be used, for example.

[0108] <3-2>

[0109] The shape of the glass panel 1 is not particularly limited; in addition to the triangle mentioned above, it can also be polygonal, circular, or other shapes. The window fitting 2 is disposed around the perimeter of the glass panel 1. A strip 3 is provided in part of the window fitting 2 at the position where it contacts the opening and closing door.

[0110] <3-3>

[0111] In the above embodiment, the strip part 3 is provided with a fixing part 31 and a support leg part 32. However, as long as the strip part body 33 with a through hole 335 is provided, it is not necessary to provide the fixing part 31 and the support leg 32, as long as the strip part body 33 is installed on the window fitting 2 in a manner that contacts the closed door. In addition, it is not necessary to provide ribs 311 and 334. Only one of them needs to be provided. For example, rib 334 can be provided without rib 311.

[0112] <3-4>

[0113] The cross-sectional shape of the main body 33 of the insert strip is not particularly limited. As long as it can form a through hole 335 in a way that deforms when in contact with the door, various cross-sectional shapes can be adopted. Therefore, multiple notches 336 can be provided, or notches 336 can be omitted. Furthermore, the cross-sectional shape of the outer shape of the main body 33 of the insert strip can be the same as or different from the cross-sectional shape of the through hole 335.

[0114] For example, the main body 33 of the insert can be formed in the following manner. (See reference...) Figure 5 and Figure 6 This example will be explained. Furthermore, the main difference in this example is the shape of the insert body 33 in the insert portion 3 shown in the above embodiment; therefore, in the following explanation, only the differences will be described. For example... Figure 5 As shown, the main body 33 of the trim strip in this example is formed as a cylinder with a through hole 335 extending along the front edge 12 of the glass plate 1. More specifically, the main body 33 of the trim strip is elliptical in cross-section, and the cross-sectional shape of the through hole 335 is also elliptical. The main body 33 of the trim strip contacts the door mounting portion 82 near the connection with the support leg portion 32 and extends outward from the door mounting portion 82. That is, the long side of the ellipse of the main body 33 of the trim strip extends orthogonally to the door mounting portion 82.

[0115] In the main body 33 of the trim strip, the part furthest from the door mounting section 82 is positioned at approximately the same location as the window fitting 2, and the rear pillar 521 contacts this part when the rear door 5 is closed. More specifically, as Figure 6As shown, the rear pillar 521 presses down on the main body 33 of the trim strip, causing the main body 33 of the trim strip to tilt away from the window fitting 2, using the contact point 339 with the door mounting part 82 as a fulcrum. In this way, the rear door 5 closes with the main body 33 of the trim strip sandwiched between the door 5 and the door mounting part 82. Furthermore, the main body 33 of the trim strip is not only tilted but also slightly flattened by the pressure of the door 5.

[0116] Similar to the embodiment described above, the insert body 33, constructed in this manner, can also reduce the impact noise when the door 5 is closed. Because the insert body 33 has a through hole 335, it can be flattened by the door 5, thereby reducing the impact. Furthermore, as shown in the example above, by being pressed and tilted, the insert body 33 moves while receiving and dispersing impact, thus reducing the impact noise.

[0117] <3-5>

[0118] In the above embodiments, the glass panel assembly 10 is disposed behind the rear of the rear door, and the insert 3 contacts the rear pillar of the rear door, but is not limited thereto. That is, the glass panel assembly of the present invention can reduce the impact noise when closing the openable door, so the applicable location is not particularly limited as long as it is disposed in a position that can contact the openable door when it is closed.
