[0033] The technical solutions of the present application are further described below in combination with the drawings, but the present application is not limited to these embodiments.

[0034] As shown in Figures 1 to 5 , a decorative strip structure of an automobile front quarter window comprises a first limiting piece 1, a second limiting piece 2, a decorative strip 3, and a claw 4.

[0035] In this embodiment, a first limiting piece 1 and two second limiting pieces 2 are fixedly installed on the automobile front quarter window, and the three limiting pieces form a triangular structure, which can effectively fix the subsequent decorative strip 3. The decorative strip 3 is an aluminum alloy bright decorative strip 3, which is used to improve the appearance of the automobile. A limiting block 300 is arranged at the periphery of the decorative strip 3. Two claws 4 are fixedly connected with the decorative strip 3. When the decorative strip 3 is installed on the automobile front quarter window, the limiting block 300 corresponds to the first limiting piece 1, and the two claws 4 correspond to the two second limiting pieces 2, respectively. The limiting block 300 is inserted into the first limiting piece 1, so that the decorative strip 3 cannot move in the X direction and the Z direction relative to the front quarter window of the door. At the same time, the claw 4 is also inserted into the second limiting piece 2. After the claw 4 is inserted into the second limiting piece 2, the claw part 400 arranged rotatably on the claw 4 is manually pulled to move and abut against the end wall of the second limiting piece 2, so that the decorative strip 3 cannot move in the Y direction relative to the front quarter window of the door. The three structures form a closed loop, so that the bright strip and the front quarter window are stably combined together and cannot shake or fall off. It is worth mentioning that the claw 4 is made of aluminum alloy, and a heating element 5 is arranged on the decorative strip 3 and the claw 4. After the heating element 4 is driven, the heating element 4 emits heat, which is uniformly transmitted to the decorative strip 3. Since the decorative strip 3 is made of aluminum alloy, the aluminum alloy has good thermal conductivity, so that the heat is transmitted to the glass on the automobile front quarter window through the decorative strip 3 to defog, thereby improving the safety during driving and facilitating the driver and passengers in the vehicle to better observe the situation on the side of the automobile.

[0036] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a first through slot 100 is formed in the first limiting piece 1. When the limiting block 300 on the decorative strip 3 is inserted into the first through slot 100, the periphery of the limiting block 300 abuts against the slot wall of the first through slot 100, so as to prevent the decorative strip 3 from moving in the X direction and the Z direction on the front quarter window and prevent the decorative strip 3 from separating.

[0037] Further, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a second through slot 200 is formed in the second limiting piece 2. When the claw part 400 of the claw 4 is inserted into the second through slot 200, the periphery of the claw part 400 abuts against the slot wall of the second through slot 200, so as to prevent the decorative strip 3 from moving in the Y direction relative to the front quarter window of the door.As shown, in order to better fix the trim strip 3 to the front quarter window, the two sides of the limiting block 300 are set in an inclined shape. The first inclined portions 301 on the left and right sides of the limiting block 300 are parallel and inclined to the trim strip 3. The groove wall of the first through groove 100 of the first limiting member 1 is also provided with a second inclined portion 101. The limiting block 300 is inserted into the first limiting member 1 at an incline, so that the trim strip 3 on the front quarter window of the car cannot be pulled and removed along the Y direction, further preventing the trim strip 3 from falling off.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the claw 4 has a movable part 401 and a fixed part 402. The movable part 401 and the fixed part 402 are arranged perpendicularly. It should be noted that the connection between the movable part 401 and the fixed part 402 has an arc-shaped chamfer structure and is not directly perpendicular. The fixed part 402 is connected to the trim strip 3 by riveting. Each claw 4 is provided with two claw parts 400. The two claw parts 400 are hinged to the movable part 401. The second limiting member 2 is provided with a second limiting groove. After the movable part 401 passes through the second limiting groove, the claw part 400 is manually moved so that the bottom wall of the claw part 400 is connected to the end wall of the second limiting member 2.

[0039] It is worth mentioning that, since the first limiting member 1 is inserted at an angle into the limiting block 300, the length of the second limiting groove on the second limiting member 2 needs to be longer.

[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, in order to limit the angle of manually moving the claw 400, a corresponding number of limiting slides 200 are provided on the end face of the second limiting member 2 to prevent the claws 400 on the left and right sides of the claw 4 from separating at different angles, which would affect subsequent fixing.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 Grooves 403 are provided on both sides of the movable part 401, that is, below the claw part 400. Because of the grooves 403, the claw part 400 will not interfere with the lower end of the movable part 401 when it rotates, so that the claw part 400 can rotate better and faster, and then connect with the end of the second limiting member 2.

[0042] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, in this embodiment, the heating element 5 is an ITO transparent conductive film. It should be noted that the ITO transparent conductive film has good light transmittance and conductivity. After conducting electricity, the ITO transparent conductive film acts as a surface heating element, which can dissipate heat. In addition, the ITO transparent conductive film is wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and has good processability, making it easy to install on the fixed structure. The heating element 5 has a first ITO transparent conductive film 500 and a second ITO transparent conductive film 501. The first ITO transparent conductive film 500 is installed on the end face of the limiting block 300 near the claw 4. A set of second ITO transparent conductive films 501 is provided according to the claw 4. The second ITO transparent conductive films 501 are set on the fixing part 402 of the claw 4. Since the three structures form a closed loop, the heat of the first ITO transparent conductive film 500 and the two second ITO transparent conductive films 501 can be evenly transferred to the trim strip 3, and then transferred to the glass of the front triangular window through the trim strip 3, so as to more evenly defog the glass.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a PCB board 502 is provided at the end of the trim strip 3 that is attached to the front triangular window. The first ITO transparent conductive film 500 and the second ITO transparent conductive film 501 are electrically connected to the PCB board 502, so that the first ITO transparent conductive film 500 and the second ITO transparent conductive film 501 can be heated by the PCB board 502 to achieve the subsequent defogging effect.

[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, in order to better detect whether the fog on the front quarter window of the car is fogged up and affects the passenger's view, a temperature sensor 503 is installed in the end of the trim strip 3 that is attached to the front quarter window. The temperature sensor 503 is electrically connected to the PCB board 502. The temperature sensor 503 sends a signal feedback to the PCB board 502, and then reminds the user to turn on the heating element 5 based on the feedback signal.

[0045] Furthermore, such as Figure 3As shown, the trim structure of the front quarter window of the car also includes a set of switch buttons 504 and a set of hidden bulbs 505. Both the switch buttons 504 and the hidden bulbs 505 are electrically connected to the PCB board 502. One set of switch buttons 504 and hidden bulbs 505 is installed on the end of the trim 3 away from the claw 4. When the hidden bulbs 505 are lit, the user can see in advance after unlocking the vehicle before getting in, and press the switch buttons 504 to control the heating element 5 to defog the glass of the front quarter window in advance. The other set of switch buttons 504 and hidden bulbs 505 is located on the door interior panel of the car (not shown in the figure). Due to the temperature difference between the outside and inside of the vehicle when driving, the glass of the front quarter window of the car fogs up. The set of hidden bulbs 505 can provide a defogging reminder signal to the user from inside the car while the car is in motion, so the user can control the heating element 5 to defog the glass of the front quarter window through the switch buttons 504 on the door interior panel.

[0046] The defogging working principle of the heating assembly: The temperature sensor 503 gives a signal based on the temperature at the front quarter window of the car. If it is higher than the preset temperature, the hidden bulb 505 is off. If it is lower than the preset temperature, the hidden bulb 505 lights up. When the user presses the switch button 504, the switch button 504 sends a signal to the PCB board 502. After receiving the signal, the PCB board 502 applies a DC voltage to the first ITO transparent conductive film 500 and the second ITO transparent conductive film 501. The first ITO transparent conductive film 500 and the second ITO transparent conductive film 501 start to heat up (the temperature generated by this heat is within the preset value and will not cause damage to the parts or the user's touch). The first ITO transparent conductive film 500 directly transfers heat to the trim strip 3. The second ITO transparent conductive film 501 first transfers heat to the fixing part 402 of the claw 4, and then to the trim strip 3 through the fixing part 402. Thus, the trim strip 3 heats and defogs the glass of the front quarter window of the car.

[0047] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0048] Furthermore, in this invention, descriptions involving terms such as "first," "second," and "a" are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0049] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connection," "fixed," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "fixed" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can mean a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can mean a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can mean the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0050] Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other, but only if they are feasible for those skilled in the art. If the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
