The docking portion includes a carrier and a pressing member detachably mounted on the carrier, one end of the conductive wire is connected to the carrier, and one end of the output wire is pressed and fixed to the carrier by the pressing member.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to a vehicle and glass assembly. Background Art

[0002] For many years, vehicles have used traditional flat glass. Only in recent years have coated and filmed glass been used to adapt to various needs. Even with these technologies, their inherent functionality remains unchanged despite changes in weather or the environment. With the rapid development of optoelectronic technology, great expectations have been placed on research into the functionalization of glass—the ability to customize glass with functions such as dimming, photovoltaic power generation, and regional displays, collectively referred to as functionalized glass. These functionalized glasses typically have a typical laminated glass structure, consisting of an outer sheet of glass, an inner sheet of glass, and an intermediate layer. The intermediate layer of functionalized glass achieves its corresponding function through electrical conductivity. Therefore, vehicles equipped with functionalized glass require wiring corresponding to the functional layer on the vehicle body to supply current, voltage, and transmit signals.

[0003] In the prior art, functional glass is typically installed on vehicles, such as front and rear windshields, sunroofs, side windows, and corner windows. The functional glass is equipped with output cables, such as flexible flat cables, which are connected to terminals at the junction of the vehicle's wiring harness. These cables are rigidly bonded to the terminals and then plugged into the vehicle's power supply to form a complete circuit for functional outputs such as dimming.

[0039] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the specific embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following description sets forth many specific details to facilitate a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways than those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the scope of the present application. Therefore, the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0040] As described in the background technology, when the joint between the output wire and the terminal of the functional glass in the related art cannot be connected or the circuit is damaged, the wire group needs to be replaced together with the functional glass, which has a high replacement cost and causes cost waste. The inventors have found that the reason for this problem is that the connection method between the output wire and the terminal in the related art is rigidly joined and fixed together, which makes it impossible to disassemble and replace the wire group separately, so that the wire group and the functional glass need to be replaced together, which leads to high replacement cost and cost waste.

[0041] Based on the above reasons, the present application provides a vehicle and glass assembly that can reduce maintenance costs.

[0042] See Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 10 , Figure 1 shows a structural diagram of a glass assembly in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 Shown Figure 1 The enlarged structure diagram at A, Figure 10A structural diagram of functionalized glass 10 according to one embodiment of the present application is shown. One embodiment of the present application provides a glass assembly comprising functionalized glass 10 and a wiring assembly 20. Functionalized glass 10 includes, but is not limited to, front and rear windshields, sunroofs, side windows, corner windows, and the like, and can be used to achieve various functions, including but not limited to dimming, photovoltaic power generation, and area display. Functionalized glass 10 is provided with output cables 131, which may include, but are not limited to, flexible flat cables or wiring harnesses. Flexible flat cables may be configured as, for example, flexible printed circuits, thin film conductors, flat cables, and the like, and facilitate electrical connection to other components. A wiring harness is a combination of multiple wires or cables bundled together. Furthermore, wiring assembly 20 includes conductive wires 21 and a docking portion 22 connected to one end of conductive wires 21. Conductive wires 21 may include, but are not limited to, wiring harnesses or flexible flat cables. Docking portion 22 includes a carrier 221 and a clamping member 222 detachably mounted on carrier 221. One end of the conductive wire 21 is connected to the carrier 221, and one end of the output wire 131 is pressed and fixed to the carrier 221 by the pressing member 222. When one end of the output wire 131 is pressed and fixed by the pressing member 222, the output wire 131 is electrically connected to the conductive wire 21, thereby achieving electrical connection with an external power source, electronic control equipment, etc.; when the output wire 131 is separated from the docking portion 22, the output wire 131 is disconnected from the conductive wire 21. Disconnection in this embodiment means that the two conductive members are disconnected from each other and no longer conduct electricity to each other.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 10 In some embodiments, the functionalized glass 10 includes, but is not limited to, laminated glass, comprising an outer glass panel 11 facing the external environment, an inner glass panel 12 facing the internal environment, and a functional layer 13 disposed between the outer glass panel 11 and the inner glass panel 12. The functional layer 13 can be flexibly adjusted and configured according to actual needs, and can, for example, be used to implement various functions including, but not limited to, dimming, photovoltaic power generation, and regional display.

[0044] Specifically, the laminated glass further includes a first adhesive layer 14 disposed between the outer glass sheet 11 and the functional layer 13, and a second adhesive layer 15 disposed between the inner glass sheet 12 and the functional layer 13. The bonding force of the first adhesive layer 14 and the second adhesive layer 15 allows the outer glass sheet 11, the functional layer 13, and the inner glass sheet 12 to be combined into a single unit.

[0045] Among them, the external environment refers to the environment outside the vehicle, and the internal environment refers to the environment inside the vehicle.

[0046] When the functional layer 13 is set as the dimming functional layer 13, the dimming functional layer 13 includes but is not limited to LC (dye liquid crystal film) film, PDLC (polymer dispersed liquid crystal) film, GHLC (guest-host liquid crystal), PNLC (Polymer Network Liquid Crystal) functional element, PSLC (polymer stabilized liquid crystal) film, PILC (pixel isolation liquid crystal) film, etc., or a combination of two or more.

[0047] In some embodiments, the first adhesive layer 14 and the second adhesive layer 15 are independently provided, including but not limited to being made of PVB material, EVA material, TPU material or SGP material.

[0048] In the aforementioned glass assembly, one end of the output line 131 is pressed and fixed to the carrier 221 by the pressing member 222, so that the output line 131 and the conductive line 21 are electrically connected to each other, thereby receiving external power and signals, etc., to meet various functional requirements. In addition, because the pressing member 222 and the carrier 221 are detachably connected, when the conductive line 21 and the output line 131 have a connection problem and require maintenance, the pressing member 222 and the carrier 221 can be disassembled, thereby separating the output line 131 from the docking portion 22, disconnecting the output line 131 from the conductive line 21, and then the line assembly 20 can be disassembled and replaced separately, without having to replace the functionalized glass 10 and the line assembly 20 together, thereby significantly reducing maintenance costs.

[0049] In addition, during the production process, the functionalized glass 10 and its output line 131 are processed and transported separately, without having to process and transport them together with the line group 20, which facilitates production operations, improves production efficiency and frequency, and avoids the problem of the line group 20 scratching the functionalized glass 10 and surrounding parts in the related art. At the same time, it is convenient for product transportation, does not require additional accessories or structures for fixing, and reduces transportation costs.

[0050] In addition, during the transportation, handling, and production of the functional glass 10, the loosening of the connection between the output wire 131 and the functional layer 13 and the connection between the output wire 131 and the docking portion 22 due to the pulling and swinging of the wire group 20 is avoided, thereby reducing the risk of disconnection between the output wire 131 and the functional layer 13 and the risk of disconnection between the output wire 131 and the docking portion 22.

[0051] In addition, during the lamination process of the functionalized glass 10 in the autoclave, since there is only the output line 131 and no line group 20, there is no need to consider the impact of the autoclave on the line group 20. The line group 20 does not need to use materials that are resistant to high temperatures and high pressures, which reduces the material cost of the line group 20 and improves the competitiveness of the product. Among them, the autoclave refers to the equipment that needs to be evacuated after the laminated glass is laid.

[0052] See also Figure 2 、 Figures 4 to 9 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The difference between the structures shown is whether a circuit board is provided. Figures 4 to 9 The main difference between the structures shown is that the pressing member 222 is installed on the carrier 221 in a different manner. In one embodiment, the pressing member 222 includes but is not limited to a snap-fit ​​fixation (such as Figure 2 、 Figure 4 or Figure 7 As shown), fastening connection with fastener 223 (as shown Figure 8 As shown), adhesively fixed or welded fixed on the carrier 221 (as shown Figure 9 shown).

[0053] In some embodiments, when the pressing member 222 is clamped and fixed on the carrier 221, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the pressing member 222 can be fixed to the carrier 221 by pressing in a direction perpendicular to the bearing surface of the carrier 221, that is, the pressing member 222 is pressed in a direction perpendicular to the bearing surface of the carrier 221, so that the pressing member 222 moves toward the carrier 221 and is fixed to the carrier 221, so that the pressing member 222 compresses the output line 131 accordingly. Conversely, the pressing member 222 is moved in a direction away from the carrier 221, so that the pressing member 222 is separated from the carrier 221, so that the pressing member 222 releases the output line 131 accordingly; or it can be fixed to the carrier 221 by flipping, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown or Figure 7 As shown, specifically, one end of the pressing piece 222 is rotatably connected to the carrier 221, and the other end of the pressing piece 222 is snap-fitted with the carrier 221. By flipping the pressing piece 222, the pressing piece 222 is snap-fitted with the carrier 221 to thereby press the output line 131 or separated to thereby loosen the output line 131; it can also be slid in a direction parallel to the bearing surface of the carrier 221 and snap-fitted to the carrier 221, that is, by pushing the pressing piece 222 to the pressing position, the pressing piece 222 can correspondingly press the output line 131 and be snap-fitted with the carrier 221, and push the pressing piece 222 to the loosening position, and the pressing piece 222 correspondingly loosens the output line 131; or it can be set to various other snap-fitting methods according to actual needs.

[0054] In some embodiments, see Figure 8 The fasteners 223 in this embodiment include but are not limited to various parts such as bolts, screws, pins, and rivets.

[0055] In some embodiments, see Figure 9When the pressing member 222 is bonded or welded to the carrier 221, to improve stability, the opposite sides of the pressing member 222 are respectively connected and fixed to the carrier 221 via, for example, bonding structures 224 or welding structures. Furthermore, to facilitate removal of the pressing member 222 from the carrier 221 for various operations such as maintenance and replacement of the wiring assembly, the bond between the pressing member 222 and the carrier 221 must be moderately strong. This ensures that when external forces act on the pressing member 222 or the carrier 221, the bonding material between the pressing member 222 and the carrier 221 breaks or loosens, thereby allowing the pressing member 222 to be removed from the carrier 221. As an example, the bonding strength between the clamping piece 222 and the carrier 221 can be adjusted by flexibly adjusting and controlling the bonding area size and thickness of the bonding material between the clamping piece 222 and the carrier 221, or selecting a bonding material that is easily cut or torn, so that the bonding strength is not too small to stably bond the clamping piece 222 and the carrier 221 together, and not too large to make it difficult to disassemble the two under the action of external force.

[0056] Similarly, the weld strength between the pressing member 222 and the carrier 221 cannot be too strong, so as to ensure that when an external force acts on the pressing member 222 or the carrier 221, the weld material between the pressing member 222 and the carrier 221 can be broken or loosened, thereby achieving the removal of the pressing member 222 from the carrier 221. As an example, the adhesive strength between the pressing member 222 and the carrier 221 can be adjusted by flexibly adjusting and controlling the size of the weld area between the pressing member 222 and the carrier 221, the thickness of the weld material, or selecting a weld material that is easily cut or torn, so that the adhesive strength is not too weak to stably weld the pressing member 222 and the carrier 221 together, nor too strong to make it difficult to remove the two under the action of external force.

[0057] Compared with the method of bonding or welding to the carrier 221, the clamping member 222 is fixed to the carrier 221 by snapping or fixing to the carrier 221 by fasteners 223. This can increase the clamping force on the output line 131, thereby making the electrical contact good and stable, and can also make it easier to separate the clamping member 222 from the carrier 221 and facilitate various operations such as disassembly and maintenance.

[0058] See also Figure 2 、 Figures 4 to 9In one embodiment, the carrier 221 is provided with two first connection portions 2211 spaced apart from each other. Opposite sides of the pressing member 222 are respectively secured to the two first connection portions 2211 by snapping, fastening with fasteners 223, bonding, or welding. The output line 131 is located in the area between the two first connection portions 2211. This allows the output line 131 to be securely pressed and secured between the pressing member 222 and the carrier 221, improving conductive contact stability.

[0059] In some embodiments, the pressing member 222 in this embodiment includes but is not limited to various regular and irregular shaped pressing structures such as a pressing plate, a pressing block, a pressing strip, and a pressing rod, and is flexibly adjusted and set according to actual needs. In addition, the carrier 221 includes but is not limited to a bearing plate. When the pressing member 222 is set as a pressing plate, the shape of the plate surface of the pressing plate is adapted to the shape of the bearing surface of the carrier 221, and specifically, for example, both are set to a flat surface or a curved surface. The gap between the pressing plate and the bearing surface of the carrier 221 is small, which can be more conducive to achieving the compression and fixation of the output line 131 on the carrier 221, thereby improving the stability of the conductive contact.

[0060] In some embodiments, the first connection portion 2211 in this embodiment includes but is not limited to various connection structures such as a connection plate, a connection block, and a connection rib.

[0061] Specifically, when the two opposite sides of the pressing member 222 are respectively fixedly connected with the two first connecting portions 2211, the pressing member 222 can be connected to the interval area between the two first connecting portions 2211 (such as Figure 2 or Figure 5 ), or it can be located on the side of the two first connecting portions 2211 facing away from the carrier 221. Compared to disposing the pressing member 222 on the side of the first connecting portion 2211 facing away from the carrier 221, when the pressing member 222 is clamped in the space between the two first connecting portions 2211, the distance between the pressing member 222 and the output cable 131 is relatively closer, which can help to press and fix the output cable 131 on the carrier 221.

[0062] See also Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6In addition, the pressing member 222 is provided with a first engaging portion 2221 on opposite sides thereof, and the two first connecting portions 2211 are respectively provided with a second engaging portion 22111 that engages with the two first engaging portions 2221, and the first engaging portion 2221 and the second engaging portion 22111 are engaged with each other. The first engaging portion 2221 includes a first clip provided on the pressing member 222, and the second engaging portion 22111 includes a first slot provided on the first connecting portion 2211, and the first clip engages with the first slot; and / or the first clip 2221 includes a second slot provided on the first connecting portion 2211, and the second clip 22111 includes a second clip provided on the pressing member 222, and the second clip engages with the second slot. Furthermore, when the pressing member 222 is rotatably connected to the first connecting portion 2211, the first connecting portion 2211 is further provided with an axial hole 22112, and the pressing member 222 is provided with a rotating shaft rotatably disposed in the axial hole 22112. In this way, the pressing member 222 is opened or closed in a flip-over manner and is clamped on the carrier 221.

[0063] Specifically, see Figure 8 When the opposite sides of the pressing member 222 are respectively fastened, bonded, or welded to the two first connecting portions 2211 using fasteners 223, the pressing member 222 can be located in the space between the two first connecting portions 2211 or on the side of the two first connecting portions 2211 facing away from the carrier 221. Compared to arranging the pressing member 222 in the space between the two first connecting portions 2211, arranging the pressing member 222 on the side of the first connecting portion 2211 facing away from the carrier 221 is more conducive to quickly and firmly fixing the pressing member 222 to the first connecting portion 2211.

[0064] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 or Figure 5 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, the pressing member 222 is provided with at least one protrusion 2222, and the output line 131 includes at least one first conductive unit 1311. The protrusion 2222 is correspondingly pressed against the first conductive unit 1311. Thus, when the same magnitude of compressive force is applied to the pressing member 222, the protrusion 2222, which is provided to compress and mate with the first conductive unit 1311, is provided, so that the compressive force is more concentrated on the first conductive unit 1311, thereby improving the stability of the conductive contact. To prevent damage during the compression process, the protrusion 2222 includes, but is not limited to, an elastic portion that can adaptively deform during the compression process, thereby further improving the stability of the conductive contact.

[0065] Specifically, the number and spacing of the protrusions 2222 on the pressing member 222 are set according to the number and spacing of the first conductive units 1311 on the output line 131, so that each protrusion 2222 is pressed against each first conductive unit 1311. The first conductive unit 1311 is, for example, a metal wire, a metal sheet, a metal block, a cable, etc. In this embodiment, it is specifically a metal wire. The cross-sectional shape of the metal wire along its length includes but is not limited to a circle, an ellipse, a polygon, etc. In this embodiment, it is preferably set as a flat wire body, so that the contact area of ​​the metal wire is larger when it is pressed and fixed by the pressing member 222, which can improve the stability of the conductive contact.

[0066] In some embodiments, the output cable 131 includes, but is not limited to, a wiring harness or a flexible flat cable. When the output cable 131 is configured as a flexible flat cable, the flexible flat cable is specifically described using a flexible printed circuit board as an example. The flexible flat cable further includes an insulating base 1312 made of a flexible material, with each first conductive unit 1311 arranged in parallel and spaced apart on the insulating base 1312. When the output cable 131 is configured as a wiring harness, the output cable 131 further includes an insulating sleeve, with the first conductive units 1311 correspondingly configured as, for example, a cable, with each first conductive unit 1311 inserted into the insulating sleeve.

[0067] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 or Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the conductive line 21 includes one or more second conductive units 211. The number of the second conductive units 211 of the conductive line 21 is the same as the number of the first conductive units 1311 of the output line 131, and each second conductive unit 211 is electrically connected to each first conductive unit 1311 to achieve electrical connection between the conductive line 21 and the output line 131. In addition, the conductive line 21 includes but is not limited to being configured as a wiring harness or a flexible flat cable. In this embodiment, the conductive line 21 is specifically configured as a wiring harness as an example, and the second conductive unit 211 is specifically, for example, a wire or cable, so that it can be easily led to the target location of the vehicle body and electrically connected to various devices such as the vehicle body power supply and controller.

[0068] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 or Figure 5 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, the output line 131 is configured as a flexible circuit board, and the first conductive unit 1311 is a flat metal wire disposed on the flexible circuit board. Multiple first conductive units 1311 are provided, and multiple protrusions 2222 are provided, with each protrusion 2222 correspondingly pressing against a corresponding first conductive unit 1311.

[0069] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3or Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, a first conductive connection structure 225 electrically connected to one end of the conductive line 21 is provided on the carrier 221. A second conductive connection structure 226 is provided on the pressing member 222. When the pressing member 222 presses one end of the output line 131, the second conductive connection member is electrically connected to the first conductive connection structure 225 and one end of the output line 131, respectively, thereby achieving electrical connection between the output line 131 and the conductive line 21.

[0070] In some embodiments, the second conductive connection structure 226 in the above embodiment can be omitted. Specifically, a first conductive connection structure 225 electrically connected to one end of the conductive line 21 is provided on the carrier 221. When one end of the output line 131 is placed on the carrier 221, it directly contacts and conducts with the first conductive connection structure 225. Under the pressure of the pressing member 222, the output line 131 is stably electrically connected to the first conductive connection structure 225.

[0071] In some embodiments, the first conductive connection structure 225 in the above embodiment can be further omitted. Specifically, one end of the conductive line 21 is in direct electrical contact and conduction with one end of the output line 131, and the connection is stably established under the pressing force of the pressing member 222. Compared to the absence of the first conductive connection structure 225 and / or the second conductive connection structure 226, the provision of the first conductive connection structure 225 and / or the second conductive connection structure 226 is more conducive to achieving stable conductive contact between the transmission line and the conductive line 21.

[0072] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 or Figure 5 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, a first conductive connection structure 225 electrically connected to one end of the conductive wire 21 is provided on the carrier 221. The first conductive connection structure 225 includes at least one first electrical connection portion 2251. The output wire 131 includes at least one first conductive unit 1311, and each first electrical connection portion 2251 is electrically conductive with each first conductive unit 1311. In this way, the conductive wire 21 does not need to be directly electrically connected to the output wire 131, but is indirectly electrically connected to the output wire 131 through the first conductive connection structure 225. This makes the conductive contact more stable and reliable, especially in the scenario where the conductive wire 21 is configured as a wire harness and the output wire 131 is configured as a flexible circuit board.

[0073] The first electrical connection portion 2251 is not limited to one, and may be, for example, multiple, with the specific number being the same as the number of the first conductive units 1311 , so that each first electrical connection portion 2251 can be electrically connected to each first conductive unit 1311 .

[0074] In one embodiment, the pressing member 222 is provided with a second conductive connection structure 226. The second conductive connection structure 226 includes at least one second electrical connection portion 2261. When the pressing member 222 is pressed against the output line 131, each second electrical connection portion 2261 is in close conductive contact with each first conductive unit 1311, and each second electrical connection portion 2261 is also in close conductive contact with each first electrical connection portion 2251. Alternatively, when the pressing member 222 is pressed against the output line 131, each first conductive unit 1311 is in close conductive contact with each first electrical connection portion 2251.

[0075] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 or Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some specific embodiments, when a protrusion 2222 is provided on the pressing member 222, each second electrical connection portion 2261 is correspondingly arranged on each protrusion 2222, including but not limited to using a printing process, an electroplating process, a patch process, bonding, clamping or using a fastener 223 to fasten the protrusion 2222 on the surface facing the carrier 221.

[0076] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 or Figure 5 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, a boss 2212 is provided on the carrier 221. The first electrical connection portion 2251 includes a first electrical connection segment 22511 disposed on the top surface of the boss 2212. The output line 131 is configured as a flexible printed circuit board (FPCB). The thickness of the FPCB is d. The distance between the top surface of the boss 2212 and the surface of the carrier 221 is S, and d ranges from 0.8S to 1.2S. Specifically, d can be, for example, 0.8S, 0.9S, 1S, 1.1S, 1.2S, etc. Thus, d and S are substantially consistent in magnitude, so that the first electrical connection segment 22511 and the first conductive unit 1311 are substantially coplanar. When the pressing member 222 presses the output line 131, the second electrical connection portion 2261 is simultaneously and tightly electrically contacted with the first electrical connection segment 22511 and the first conductive unit 1311. The pressing forces exerted on the first electrical connection segment 22511 and the first conductive unit 1311 are substantially the same, ensuring stable and reliable electrical contact. At the same time, the pressing member 222 is correspondingly configured as a flat plate, for example, to facilitate processing.

[0077] Of course, in some other embodiments, when the clamping member 222 and the second electrical connection portion 2261 thereon are set to a non-planar structure, for example, they are set to be curved or in other shapes, the distance S from the top surface of the boss 2212 to the surface of the carrier 221 can be flexibly adjusted accordingly and is no longer limited to the size relationship in the above embodiments.

[0078] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 or Figure 5 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, the first electrical connection portion 2251 further includes a second electrical connection segment 22512 disposed on a side surface of the boss 2212. The second electrical connection segment 22512 is electrically connected to the first electrical connection segment 22511 and is also electrically connected to the conductive wire 21. This facilitates connection between the second electrical connection segment 22512 and the conductive wire 21. Specifically, each second electrical connection segment 22512 can be directly electrically connected to each second conductive unit 211 of the conductive wire 21, such as by welding, conductive adhesive, metal screws, metal rivets, or other conductive structures. Alternatively, the connection can be indirect, i.e., a third conductive connection structure 227 is disposed between the second electrical connection segment 22512 and the corresponding second conductive unit 211.

[0079] Specifically, the first electrical connection section 22511 and the second electrical connection section 22512 are combined to form an L-shaped electrode.

[0080] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, the carrier 221 is configured as a circuit board. A third conductive connection structure 227 is provided on the carrier 221, located between the conductive wire 21 and the first conductive connection structure 225. The conductive wire 21 is electrically connected to the first conductive connection structure 225 via the third conductive connection structure 227. Specifically, the third conductive connection structure 227 includes at least one adapter wire 2271. Each adapter wire 2271 is electrically connected to a corresponding first electrical connection portion 2251, and each adapter wire 2271 is electrically connected to a corresponding second conductive unit 211 of the conductive wire 21. Thus, when the carrier 221 is configured as a circuit board, the adapter wire 2271 is provided on the circuit board. The adapter wire 2271 provides for more flexible placement of the conductive wire 21. The conductive wire 21 can be flexibly adjusted and positioned on the circuit board according to actual needs, facilitating assembly and connection with the vehicle body.

[0081] In some embodiments, the circuit board includes but is not limited to a board made of glass fiber epoxy resin material (also referred to as FR-4 material), which has good insulation, heat resistance and stability.

[0082] Of course, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , there is no need to set the carrier 221 as a circuit board, that is, there is no need to set the adapter line 2271, and each second conductive unit 211 of the conductive line 21 is directly electrically connected to each first electrical connection part 2251.

[0083] See also Figure 11 and Figure 12 In one embodiment, the glass assembly further includes a protective box 30. Specifically, the protective box 30 includes a base plate 31 and a cover 32 mounted on the base plate 31. The docking portion 22 is mounted within the protective box 30, and the output wires 131 and the conductive wires 21 respectively pass through the protective box 30 and extend into the interior of the protective box 30. Thus, the protective box 30 protects the docking portion 22 mounted therein, prevents the docking portion 22 from being exposed, and prevents the junction between the docking portion 22 and the output wires 131 from being exposed, thereby providing a decorative effect.

[0084] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, the output cable 131 is provided with a third engaging portion 1313, and the carrier 221 or the protective box 30 is provided with a fourth engaging portion 2213 that engages with the third engaging portion 1313. The third engaging portion 1313 and the fourth engaging portion 2213 are mutually engaged. Thus, when the pressing member 222 and the output cable assembly 131 are assembled together, the third engaging portion 1313 and the fourth engaging portion 2213 are mutually engaged, thereby increasing the coupling force between the output cable 131 and the docking portion 22, improving the connection stability between the output cable 131 and the docking portion 22, and preventing the output cable 131 from being easily dislodged from the docking portion 22 due to external forces.

[0085] In one embodiment, the third clamping portion 1313 includes a third clamping portion provided on the output line 131, the fourth clamping portion 2213 includes a third clamping slot provided on the carrier 221 or the protective box, and the third clamping portion is clamped into engagement with the third clamping slot; and / or, the fourth clamping portion 2213 includes a fourth clamping slot provided on the output line 131, the third clamping portion 1313 includes a fourth clamping portion provided on the carrier 221 or the protective box, and the fourth clamping portion is clamped into engagement with the fourth clamping slot.

[0086] In some embodiments, the third buckle and the fourth buckle are independently set and are flexibly adjusted and set according to actual needs, including but not limited to various structural forms such as protrusions, columns, buckles, and inverted hooks, as long as they can be snapped together with their corresponding slots.

[0087] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, the output cable 131 is configured as a flexible flat cable, and third engaging portions 1313 are provided on opposite sides of the output cable 131, respectively. Two fourth engaging portions 2213 are provided, corresponding to the third engaging portions 1313. Thus, the two third engaging portions 1313 provided on opposite sides of the output cable 131 respectively engage with the two fourth engaging portions 2213 on the circuit board or protective box, thereby firmly connecting the output cable 131 to the docking portion 22 and preventing it from being dislodged from the docking portion 22 under external force.

[0088] It should be noted that the "third clamping portion 1313" can be "a part of the output line 131", that is, the "third clamping portion 1313" and the "other parts of the output line 131" are integrally formed; it can also be an independent component that is separable from the "other parts of the output line 131", that is, the "third clamping portion 1313" can be manufactured independently and then combined with the "other parts of the output line 131" into a whole.

[0089] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the output cable 131 is provided with a first positioning portion 1314, and the carrier 221 is provided with a second positioning portion 2214. The first positioning portion 1314 and the second positioning portion 2214 are positioned and matched with each other. Thus, the carrier 221 secures the output cable 131 through the mutual positioning and matching of the first and second positioning portions 1314, thereby improving the connection stability between the output cable 131 and the docking portion 22 and preventing the output cable 131 from being easily dislodged from the docking portion 22 under external force, thereby affecting normal circuit performance.

[0090] In some embodiments, the first positioning portion 1314 includes a first positioning hole provided on the output line 131, the second positioning portion 2214 includes a first positioning piece provided on the carrier 221, and the first positioning piece is passed through the first positioning hole; and / or, the first positioning portion 1314 includes a second positioning piece provided on the output line 131, the second positioning portion 2214 includes a second positioning hole provided on the carrier 221, and the second positioning piece is passed through the second positioning hole.

[0091] In one embodiment, the output cable 131 is provided with a third locating portion (not shown), and the protective box is provided with a fourth locating portion (not shown). The third and fourth locating portions cooperate with each other. Thus, the protective box secures the output cable 131 through the cooperation of the third and fourth locating portions. This improves the stability of the connection between the output cable 131 and the docking portion 22, preventing the output cable 131 from being easily dislodged from the docking portion 22 due to external forces, which could affect normal circuit performance.

[0092] In one embodiment, the third positioning portion includes a third positioning hole provided on the output line 131, the fourth positioning portion includes a third positioning piece provided on the protective box, and the third positioning piece is passed through the third positioning hole; and / or, the third positioning portion includes a fourth positioning piece provided on the output line 131, the fourth positioning portion includes a fourth positioning hole provided on the protective box, and the fourth positioning piece is passed through the fourth positioning hole.

[0093] In some embodiments, the third and fourth positioning holes are independently configured according to actual needs, including but not limited to regular shapes such as circular holes, elliptical holes, and polygonal holes, as well as other irregular shapes. In this embodiment, the third and fourth positioning holes are each independently configured as circular holes, and the diameter of the circular holes includes but is not limited to 1 mm to 10 mm, specifically 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, or 10 mm.

[0094] In some embodiments, the third positioning member and the fourth positioning member are independently configured according to actual needs, including but not limited to various structural forms such as positioning columns, positioning rods, and positioning needles.

[0095] It should be noted that the "third positioning member" can be "a part of the protective box", that is, the "third positioning member" and the "other parts of the protective box" are manufactured as one piece; it can also be an independent component that can be separated from the "other parts of the protective box", that is, the "third positioning member" can be manufactured independently and then combined with the "other parts of the protective box" into a whole.

[0096] In some embodiments, the protective box can be an insulating box made of plastic, or a metal box made of, for example, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, or other metal materials. Furthermore, the protective box can be provided with an openable lid, which allows for assembly and disassembly of the docking portion 22 and the output cable 131.

[0097] In one embodiment, a vehicle includes but is not limited to a car, bus, sedan, public bus, coach, truck, jeep, train, high-speed train, etc. The vehicle includes the glass assembly of any of the above embodiments and a vehicle body, wherein the glass assembly is mounted on the vehicle body.

[0098] In the aforementioned vehicle, one end of the output line 131 is compressed and fixed to the carrier 221 by the compression member 222, thereby achieving electrical continuity between the output line 131 and the conductive line 21, thereby providing access to external power and signals, and meeting various functional requirements. Furthermore, because the compression member 222 is detachably connected to the carrier 221, when maintenance is required, such as when a connection problem occurs between the conductive line 21 and the output line 131, the compression member 222 can be separated from the carrier 221, thereby separating the output line 131 from the docking portion 22, disconnecting the output line 131 from the conductive line 21, and then disassembling and replacing the wire assembly 20 separately, without having to replace the functionalized glass 10 and the wire assembly 20 together, thereby significantly reducing maintenance costs.

[0099] In this application, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," "connected," "fixed," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, these terms may refer to fixed connections, removable connections, or integration; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediary; and internal communication between two components or interaction between two components, unless otherwise specified.
