[0035] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of the vehicle 1000 provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0037] It should be noted that the directional terms such as "internal" and "external" used in the embodiments of this application are based on the attached document. Figure 1 The description of the orientation shown, with "interior" referring to the interior of vehicle 1000 and "exterior" referring to the exterior of vehicle 1000, is not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0038] Vehicle 1000 includes a window glass assembly 100, a body 200, and a light source (not shown). The window glass assembly 100 is installed at the window position of the body 200, and the light source is located inside the body 200 and electrically connected to the window glass assembly 100. The window glass assembly 100 can be a corner window glass assembly, a sunroof glass assembly, or a rear windshield glass assembly. In this embodiment, a corner window glass assembly is used as an example for detailed description.

[0039] Please refer to the following: Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 2 This is a structural schematic diagram of the vehicle window glass assembly 100 provided in the first embodiment of this application. Figure 3 for Figure 2 The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of the window glass assembly 100 along the AA direction.

[0040] For ease of description, the definition is... Figure 2 The length of the window glass assembly 100 shown is along the X-axis, which is understandable. Figure 2 The length of the shown window assembly is 100 mm, which is... Figure 1 The length direction of the vehicle 1000 shown; definition Figure 2 The height of the window glass assembly shown is along the Z-axis, which is understandable. Figure 2 The height direction of the shown window assembly at 100 degrees is... Figure 1 The height direction of vehicle 1000 shown; definition Figure 2 The thickness direction of the window glass assembly 100 shown is the Y-axis direction.

[0041] The vehicle window glass assembly 100 includes a glass body 10, a light-emitting component 20, a bezel 30, and an exterior trim panel 40. One side of the bezel 30 is connected to the edge of the glass body 10, and the other side of the bezel 30 is connected to the light-emitting component 20. The exterior trim panel 40 is installed on the outer side of the bezel 30. The light-emitting component 20 is located around the periphery of the glass body 10. When in operation, the light-emitting component 20 can decorate the glass body 10 and enhance the aesthetics of the vehicle 1000.

[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, the glass body 10 includes a back surface 12 and a front surface 11, which are arranged opposite to each other. The front surface 11 faces the exterior of the vehicle 1000, and the back surface 12 faces the interior of the vehicle 1000. The glass body 10 is used to allow light from outside the vehicle 1000 to enter the interior of the vehicle 1000, providing a view for passengers or the driver inside the vehicle 1000. In some embodiments, the glass body 10 can also allow light from inside the vehicle 1000 to exit outside the vehicle 1000, so that passengers can obtain information inside the vehicle 1000 from the outside.

[0043] Please refer to the following: Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 for Figure 2 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of the light-emitting component 20 at one angle. Figure 5 for Figure 2 The diagram shows the structure of the light-emitting component 20 from another angle.

[0044] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the light-emitting component 20 includes a light guide 21 and a mounting component 22. The light guide 21 is mounted on the mounting component 22 and protrudes from the mounting component 22. One end of the light guide 21 protruding from the mounting component 22 is connected to a light source inside the vehicle 1000. The mounting component 22 is connected between the edging 30 and the sheet metal parts of the vehicle 1000. In this embodiment, the light guide 21 is an optical fiber. In other embodiments, the light guide 21 may have other structures to facilitate light guiding, without specific limitations.

[0045] like Figure 4 As shown, the light guide 21 includes a light-emitting segment 211 and a light-guiding segment 212, with the light-guiding segment 212 connected to one end of the light-emitting segment 211. The light-emitting segment 211 is located within the mounting component 22, while the light-guiding segment 212 protrudes from the mounting component 22 and is connected to the light source of the vehicle 1000. When the light source of the vehicle 1000 is emitting light, the light emitted from the light source can be transmitted through the light-guiding segment 212 of the light guide 21 to the light-emitting segment 211 of the light guide 21.

[0046] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the mounting component 22 is generally elongated. In this embodiment, the mounting component 22 includes a main body 221 and a lip 222. The lip 222 is connected to one side of the main body 221. The light-emitting segment 211 of the light guide 21 is installed inside the main body 221. The side of the main body 221 facing away from the lip 222 is connected to the edging 30. The lip 222 is made of soft plastic, and the end of the lip 222 away from the main body 221 abuts against the sheet metal of the vehicle 1000. The soft plastic lip 222 can act as a buffer between the sheet metal and the main body 221, preventing the sheet metal from squeezing or cutting the main body 221.

[0047] The main body 221 has a receiving cavity 223 for accommodating the light-emitting segment 211 of the light guide 21. The outer surface of the main body 221 includes an outer surface 225, which faces the outside of the vehicle 1000 and is arranged in the same direction as the front surface 11 of the glass body 10. The main body 221 is made of a translucent or transparent material to facilitate the transmission of light emitted by the light-emitting segment 211 of the light guide 21. Preferably, the main body 221 is made of a transparent or translucent hard plastic, such as nylon. Preferably, the mounting part 22 can be manufactured by a two-material injection molding process, wherein the lip 222 is injection molded from soft plastic and the main body 221 is injection molded from hard plastic, forming in two stages.

[0048] When the light guide 21 is installed on the mounting component 22, the light-emitting segment 211 of the light guide 21 is installed in the receiving cavity 223 of the main body 221, and the light-guiding segment 212 of the light guide 21 is exposed outside the main body 221 and connected to the light source of the vehicle 1000. When the user of the vehicle 1000 turns on the light source inside the vehicle 1000, the light emitted by the light source can be transmitted through the light-guiding segment 212 of the light guide 21 to the light-emitting segment 211 of the light guide 21, and then emitted through the peripheral surface of the light-emitting segment 211, and transmitted through the transparent or translucent main body 221, radiating from the outer surface 225 of the main body 221 to the outside of the vehicle 1000, so as to achieve the effect of decorating the appearance of the vehicle 1000.

[0049] For example, vehicle 1000 may further include a lighting device (not shown) and a control module (not shown). The lighting device is installed on the vehicle body 200, and the control module is located inside the vehicle body 200. The lighting device is electrically connected to the control module, and the light source is electrically connected to the control module. The lighting device may include, but is not limited to, headlights, license plate lights, taillights, and mirror lights. It can be understood that the vehicle 1000 provided in this application embodiment, through the control module, can not only adjust the luminous effect of the light-emitting component 20 and generate dynamic changes by controlling the light source, but also simultaneously control the lighting effect of the lighting device to generate dynamic responses and coordination, so as to form an integrated and dynamically changing lighting effect for the entire vehicle 1000, significantly improving the aesthetics of the vehicle 1000's appearance.

[0050] Meanwhile, compared to the luminous decorative parts included in existing vehicle window assemblies, the luminous component 20 provided in this application emits light through the light guide 21, and the light source connected to the light guide 21 can be located inside the vehicle 1000 without integrating the light source inside the luminous component 20. Therefore, the structure of the luminous component 20 provided in this application is simpler. In addition, the light source connected to the luminous component 20 provided in this application can be integrated with the vehicle's control module, shortening the wiring distance from the light source to the control module, making the circuitry of the vehicle 1000 more concentrated, and facilitating the control module to simultaneously control the luminous component 20 and the lighting device to produce an integrated dynamic lighting effect.

[0051] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the receiving cavity 223 of the main body 221 has a first opening 226, which is formed on the inner side of the main body 221, and the inner side of the main body 221 is disposed facing the interior of the vehicle 1000. The main body 221 includes a protrusion 227, which is disposed on the side wall of the receiving cavity 223 and protrudes toward the opposite side wall of the receiving cavity 223. The protrusion 227 is disposed close to the first opening 226. In this embodiment, the light-emitting segment 211 of the light guide 21 is installed in the receiving cavity 223 of the main body 221 through the first opening 226, and the side of the protrusion 227 facing away from the first opening 226 abuts against the main body 221 of the light guide 21. It is understandable that by setting the first opening 226, the assembly difficulty of installing the light guide 21 into the receiving cavity 223 of the main body 221 is reduced, and by setting the protrusion 227, the light-emitting segment 211 of the light guide 21 is restricted within the receiving cavity 223, thereby improving the installation stability of the light guide 21.

[0052] Specifically, the main body 221 includes a first sidewall 2211 and a second sidewall 2212 arranged opposite to each other along the Z-axis, and a top wall 2213 connecting the first sidewall 2211 and the second sidewall 2212. The surface of the first sidewall 2211 facing away from the second sidewall 2212 is connected to a rim 30, the surface of the second sidewall 2212 facing away from the first sidewall 2211 is connected to a lip 222, and the outer surface of the top wall 2213 is the outer surface 225. The first sidewall 2211, the second sidewall 2212, and the top wall 2213 surround to form a receiving cavity 223, and the first opening 226 of the receiving cavity 223 penetrates the side of the main body 221 facing away from the top wall 2213. It can be understood that the inner surfaces of the first sidewall 2211, the second sidewall 2212, and the top wall 2213 are the cavity walls of the receiving cavity 223, the inner surfaces of the first sidewall 2211 and the second sidewall 2212 are the sidewalls of the receiving cavity 223, and the outer surface of the top wall 2213 is the outer surface 225. When the light guide 21 is installed in the receiving cavity 223, the light-emitting segment 211 of the light guide 21 abuts against the inner surfaces of the first sidewall 2211 and the second sidewall 2212 along the Z-axis direction, and is held between the inner surface of the top wall 2213 and the protrusion 227 along the Y-axis direction.

[0053] like Figure 4As shown, the protrusion 227 includes a first protrusion 2271 and a second protrusion 2272. The first protrusion 2271 is disposed on the inner surface of the first sidewall 2211 and protrudes toward the second sidewall 2212, extending along the length direction of the main body 221. The second protrusion 2272 is disposed on the inner surface of the second sidewall 2212 and protrudes toward the first sidewall 2211, extending along the length direction of the main body 221. The first protrusion 2271 and the second protrusion 2272 are staggered along the extension direction of the main body 221. There can be multiple first protrusions 2271 and multiple second protrusions 2272, with the first protrusions 2271 and the second protrusions 2272 being spaced apart along the extension direction of the main body 221, and the first protrusions 2271 and the second protrusions 2272 being staggered along the extension direction of the main body 221. The mounting component 22 provided in this embodiment, by providing staggered first protrusions 2271 and second protrusions 2272 on the main body 221, shortens the length dimension of the protrusions 227, reduces the difficulty of injection molding and demolding of the main body 221, improves the manufacturing yield of the main body 221, and reduces the installation difficulty of the light guide 21 from the first opening 226 into the receiving cavity 223. Moreover, the relative arrangement of the first protrusions 2271 and second protrusions 2272 is beneficial to better limit the light-emitting segment 211 of the light guide 21, prevent the light-emitting segment 211 from detaching from the receiving cavity 223, and further improves the installation stability of the light guide 21.

[0054] Please refer to the following: Figure 6 , Figure 6 for Figure 2 The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of the window glass assembly along the BB direction.

[0055] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, the main body 221 also has a first groove 2214 and a second groove 2215. The first groove 2214 is formed on the surface of the first side wall 2211 opposite to the top wall 2213 and penetrates the first side wall 2211 along its thickness direction. The first groove 2214 is located between two adjacent first protrusions 2271. The second groove 2215 is formed on the surface of the second side wall 2212 opposite to the top wall 2213 and penetrates the second side wall 2212 along its thickness direction. The second groove 2215 is located between two adjacent second protrusions 2272. It can be understood that the first groove 2214 and the second groove 2215 are staggered along the extension direction of the main body 221. The mounting component 22 provided in this embodiment divides the elongated first sidewall 2211 and second sidewall 2212 into multiple sub-sidewalls with smaller length dimensions by setting staggered first grooves 2214 and second grooves 2215 on the main body 221. This reduces the difficulty of injection molding and demolding of the first sidewall 2211 and second sidewall 2212, improves the manufacturing yield of the main body 221, and further reduces the installation difficulty of the optical guide 21 from the first opening 226 into the receiving cavity 223.

[0056] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the protrusion 227 can also be wedge-shaped, with the width of the protrusion 227 gradually decreasing along its protruding direction, and the side of the protrusion 227 facing away from the top wall 2213 forming a slope. The wedge-shaped protrusion 227 facilitates the installation of the main body 221 of the light guide 21 into the receiving cavity 223 through the first opening 226, while not affecting the limiting effect of the protrusion 227 on the light guide 21.

[0057] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the mounting component 22 also includes a connecting portion 228, which is connected to the side of the main body 221 opposite to the lip 222 and protrudes in the direction opposite to the lip 222. The connecting portion 228 is connected to the edging 30. By providing the connecting portion 228, the mounting component 22 provided in this embodiment increases the contact area between the mounting component 22 and the edging 30, enhances the connection strength between the mounting component 22 and the edging 30, and improves the installation stability of the light-emitting component 20.

[0058] like Figure 3As shown, one end of the edging 30 is connected to the edge of the glass body 10, and the other end of the edging 30 is connected to the side of the mounting member 22 facing away from the lip 222. For example, the edging 30 can be made of resin materials such as PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) or TPE (Polyethylene). The edging 30 includes a mounting surface 31 facing the outside of the vehicle 1000. The edging 30 also has a slot 32, a first boss 33, and a second boss 34. The slot 32 is located at the edge of the mounting surface 31 and is recessed towards the inside of the vehicle 1000. The slot 32 is used to hold the end of the exterior trim panel 40. The first boss 33 is located on one side wall of the slot 32 along the Z-axis direction and protrudes towards the opposite side wall along the Z-axis direction. The first boss 33 is used to further hold the end of the exterior trim panel 40 to limit the displacement of the exterior trim panel 40 along the Z-axis direction. The second boss 34 is provided on the mounting surface 31 and protrudes outward toward the vehicle 1000. The second boss 34 is used to support the exterior trim panel 40 and prevent the exterior trim panel 40 from undergoing large deformation along the Y-axis direction after being pressed.

[0059] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the mounting component 22, the glass body 10, and the edging 30 can be integrated by integral injection molding. That is, the mounting component 22 and the glass body 10 are both fixed in the injection mold, so that the mounting component 22 is located on the periphery of the glass body 10 and is spaced apart from the glass body 10. The lip 222 of the mounting component 22 faces away from the glass body 10. Then, the heated and molten plastic is injected. The plastic in the molten state fills the space between the mounting component 22, the glass body 10, and the injection mold. After the plastic cools and solidifies, it forms the edging 30.

[0060] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the exterior trim panel 40 includes an edge portion 41 and a center portion 42, with the edge portion 41 connected to the periphery of the center portion 42. Exemplarily, the edge portion 41 is bent at a certain angle relative to the center portion 42 towards the interior of the vehicle 1000 to form a claw structure. The center portion 42 includes a first surface 43 and a second surface 44, which are arranged opposite to each other along the Y-axis. The first surface 43 faces the glass body 10, and the second surface 44 faces the exterior of the vehicle 1000. The exterior trim panel 40 is mounted on one side of the mounting surface 31 of the edging 30. The first surface 43 of the center portion 42 is arranged opposite to the mounting surface 31 of the edging 30 along the Y-axis. The first surface 43 of the center portion 42 abuts against the surface of the second protrusion 2272. The edge portion 41 is engaged between the side wall of the slot 32 and the first protrusion 2271. The end face of the center portion 42 facing away from the edge portion 41 is arranged opposite to the top wall 2213. It can be understood that, as Figure 6As shown, the outer surface 225 of the main body 221 and the second surface 44 of the exterior trim panel 40 are arranged in the same direction and together form the appearance of the window glass assembly 100. For example, the colors of the outer surface 225 and the second surface 44 can be the same or similar, such as both being black, to maintain the consistency of the appearance of the vehicle 1000 and enhance the aesthetics of the vehicle 1000.

[0061] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the outer trim panel 40 includes a first sub-outer trim panel 45 and a second sub-outer trim panel 46, with the second sub-outer trim panel 46 connected to one end of the first sub-outer trim panel 45. Exemplarily, the first sub-outer trim panel 45 and the second sub-outer trim panel 46 can be in contact without contact. The first sub-outer trim panel 45 is generally a triangular thin plate and is located at the end of the glass body 10, while the second sub-outer trim panel 46 is generally a long strip thin plate and is located at the edge of the glass body 10. In other embodiments, the first sub-outer trim panel 45 and the second sub-outer trim panel 46 may also be an integral structure.

[0062] In one implementation, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the window glass assembly 100 also includes an adhesive component 50, which is connected between the mounting surface 31 of the edging 30 and the first surface 43 of the exterior trim panel 40, for fixing the exterior trim panel 40 and the edging 30 together. Multiple adhesive components 50 may be used, spaced apart from each other. For example, the adhesive component 50 may be adhesive tape.

[0063] In one implementation, such as Figure 6 As shown, the window glass assembly 100 also includes a frame 60, which is located on the side of the edging 30 away from the outer trim panel 40 and covers the edge of the glass body 10 and the edge of the edging 30. For example, the frame 60 can be made of iron. For example, the mounting member 22, the glass body 10, the frame 60, and the edging 30 can be integrated by integral injection molding, that is, the mounting member 22, the glass body 10, and the frame 60 are all fixed in the injection mold, with the mounting member 22 located at the periphery of the glass body 10 and spaced apart from it, the lip 222 of the mounting member 22 facing away from the glass body 10, and the frame 60 covering the periphery of the glass body 10 and spaced apart from it. Then, heated and molten plastic is injected, filling the space between the mounting member 22, the glass body 10, the frame 60, and the mold. After the plastic cools and solidifies, the edging 30 is formed.

[0064] Please see Figure 7 , Figure 7 This is a cross-sectional view of the window glass assembly 100 provided in the second embodiment of this application along the AA direction.

[0065] The difference between the window glass assembly 100 of the second embodiment of this application and the window glass assembly 100 of the first embodiment is that the receiving cavity 223 of the main body 221 has a second opening ( Figure 7 (Not shown), the second opening is located on the end face of the main body 221. It can be understood that the receiving cavity 223 is connected to the outside through the second opening. The light-emitting segment 211 of the light guide 21 is inserted into the receiving cavity 223 of the main body 221 through the second opening. For example, the main body 221 provided in this embodiment may not have the first opening 226; therefore, the main body 221 is generally cylindrical and can be manufactured using an extrusion molding process.
