Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of glass technology, and in particular to a vehicle, glass assembly, and trim fixing component. Background Technology
[0002] As automotive technology advances and evolves, car designs continue to change, leading to increasingly complex edging structures. For aesthetic purposes, decorative trim pieces are often installed on car windows; for example, the front and rear fixed windows often have trim pieces integrated into the injection-molded edging structure of the glass assembly.
[0003] The integration methods for trim components in related technologies mainly include: Method 1, using mounting clips to fix the component to the clips; Method 2, integral injection molding, where the trim component, glass, and edging structure are injection molded together as a whole; Method 3, installation using bendable trim component clips; and Method 4, bonding with 3M tape. Methods 2 and 4 prevent the trim component from being removed after assembly, which is inconvenient for later maintenance and replacement; Method 3 involves relatively complex disassembly and assembly operations with low efficiency. Therefore, most OEMs currently require the use of the detachable Method 1 integration method, which requires first installing clips on the edging structure before inserting the trim component.
[0004] However, an increasing number of corner window assemblies are experiencing space constraints due to sheet metal design. This often results in insufficient space to ensure a safe distance between the clips and the side sheet metal, or even a lack of space to accommodate the clips. Furthermore, the trim pieces are difficult to remove and have low disassembly efficiency, which no longer meets user needs. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a vehicle, glass assembly and trim fixing component that can reduce the space occupied and is easy to disassemble and assemble with high efficiency.

The unlocking component has a locking position and an unlocking position along its moving direction. When the unlocking component is in the locking position, the positioning portion and the latching portion are correspondingly engaged and fixed. When the unlocking component moves from the locking position to the unlocking position, the unlocking component squeezes the latch to separate the positioning portion from the latching portion.
[0010] In one embodiment, the clip further includes an abutting portion and a connecting portion, the abutting portion engaging with the unlocking component, and the connecting portion being fixedly connected to the decorative component; the abutting portion is connected to the connecting portion via the positioning portion.
[0011] In one embodiment, the clip further includes an elastically deformable portion connected between the positioning portion and the connecting portion, the elastically deformable portion being positioned by abutting against the edge piece and / or the insert.
[0012] In one embodiment, the elastic deformation portion includes a first connecting plate and a second connecting plate that are connected to each other and arranged at an angle; the positioning portion is disposed on the end of the first connecting plate away from the second connecting plate, and the end of the second connecting plate away from the first connecting plate is connected to the connecting portion.
[0013] In one embodiment, the holding portion is provided as two and spaced apart; the abutting portion is located between the two holding portions, and the opposite sides of the abutting portion respectively abut against the sides of the two holding portions; the positioning portion is provided as two and is located on the opposite sides of the abutting portion respectively.
[0014] In one embodiment, the insert further includes a reinforcing member; the reinforcing member has opposite ends, and the opposite ends of the reinforcing member are respectively connected to the guide portion.
[0015] In one embodiment, the reinforcing member includes a first reinforcing plate, a second reinforcing plate, and a third reinforcing plate connected in sequence; the end of the first reinforcing plate away from the second reinforcing plate and the end of the third reinforcing plate away from the first reinforcing plate are both connected to the guide portion; the first reinforcing plate, the second reinforcing plate, the third reinforcing plate, and the guide portion form an avoidance groove, and the elastic deformation portion is movably inserted into the avoidance groove.
[0016] In one embodiment, the opposite sides of the elastically deformable portion abut against the first reinforcing plate and the third reinforcing plate, respectively.
[0017] In one embodiment, the retaining portion includes a retaining surface that engages with the positioning portion and a first guide surface connected to the retaining surface; the retaining surface is located on the bottom surface of the retaining portion, and the first guide surface is located on the side of the retaining portion facing away from the guide surface.
[0018] In one embodiment, the unlocking member has a recessed portion on the side facing the latch that is recessed away from the latch. The inner wall of the recess is provided with a second guide surface that is set at an acute angle to the guide direction S of the guide portion. One end of the latch extends into the recess and abuts against the second guide surface.
[0019] In one embodiment, the unlocking member has a protrusion on the side facing the latch that protrudes toward the latch, and the outer wall of the protrusion is provided with a third guide surface that is set at an acute angle to the guide direction S of the guide portion, and one end of the latch abuts against the third guide surface.
[0020] In one embodiment, the guide portion is provided with a guide groove adapted to the shape of the unlocking member, and the unlocking member is movably inserted into the guide groove; the guide groove includes at least one anti-disengagement sidewall that can guide and engage with the unlocking member and restrict the unlocking member from disengaging from the guide groove in a direction perpendicular to the bottom wall of the guide groove.

[0022] A vehicle comprising the glass assembly.
[0023] In the aforementioned vehicle, glass assembly, and trim fixing components, when the unlocking member is in the locked position, the positioning part and the retaining part engage and fix, thereby ensuring that the clip and trim are stably mounted on the insert. When it is necessary to remove the trim from the glass assembly, the unlocking member moves from the locked position to the unlocked position, and the unlocking member presses the clip to move the positioning part, thus separating it from the retaining part. This allows for the removal of both the trim and the clip together, demonstrating that the removal of the trim is relatively simple and quick. Furthermore, because the clip and unlocking member cooperate with the insert, and the insert is embedded and fixed to the edge trim, there is no need for the structure in related technologies that involves bending the clip and wrapping it around the edge trim. This reduces space occupation, avoids interference between the clip and the side sheet metal, and increases the visible area of the glass body to a certain extent. Attached Figure Description

[0036] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0037] As described in the background art, the clips in the related technologies cannot guarantee a safe distance from the side sheet metal, or even leave insufficient space to arrange the clips. Furthermore, the trim pieces are difficult to disassemble and have low disassembly efficiency. The inventors have discovered that the reason for this problem is that the clips in the related technologies usually use a structure that is bent and directly locked, which occupies a lot of space, cannot be disassembled, and requires complex installation tools.
[0038] For the reasons mentioned above, this application provides a vehicle, glass assembly and trim fixing component that can reduce space occupation, is easy to disassemble and assemble, and has high disassembly and assembly efficiency.
[0039] See Figures 1 to 3 and Figure 6 This application provides an embodiment of a decorative element fixing assembly 10 for connecting a decorative element 20 and an edging element 30. The decorative element fixing assembly 10 includes an insert 11, a clip 12, and an unlocking element 13. The insert 11 is used to be embedded and fixed on the edging element 30, and is specifically integrally injection molded with the edging element 30. The insert 11 includes a guide portion 111 and at least one holding portion 112 connected to the guide portion 111. The clip 12 is used to connect and fix to the decorative element 20, and the clip 12 is provided with a positioning portion 121 that corresponds to and engages with the holding portion 112. The unlocking member 13 is movably disposed on the guide portion 111 and abuts against the latch 12. The unlocking member 13 has a locking position and an unlocking position along its moving direction S. When the unlocking member 13 is in the locking position, the positioning portion 121 and the holding portion 112 are correspondingly engaged and fixed. When the unlocking member 13 moves from the locking position to the unlocking position, the unlocking member 13 squeezes the latch 12 to separate the positioning portion 121 from the holding portion 112.
[0040] In the aforementioned trim fixing assembly 10, when the unlocking member 13 is in the locked position, the positioning part 121 and the holding part 112 are correspondingly engaged and fixed, thereby enabling the clip 12 and trim 20 to be stably installed on the insert 11. When it is necessary to remove the trim 20 from the glass assembly, the unlocking member 13 moves from the locked position to the unlocked position, and the unlocking member 13 presses the clip 12 to move the positioning part 121 and separate it from the holding part 112, thereby allowing the trim 20 and the clip 12 to be removed together. It can be seen that the removal operation of the trim 20 is relatively simple and quick. In addition, since the clip 12 and the unlocking member 13 are designed to cooperate with the insert 11, and the insert 11 is embedded and fixed on the edge piece 30, it is not necessary to bend the clip 12 and wrap it and fix it on the edge piece 30 as in related technologies. This reduces the space occupied, avoids interference between the clip 12 and the side sheet metal, and increases the visible area of the glass body 40 to a certain extent.
[0041] See also Figures 1 to 5 In one embodiment, the clip 12 further includes an abutting portion 122 and a connecting portion 123. Specifically, the abutting portion 122 abuts against the unlocking member 13. The connecting portion 123 is fixedly connected to the decorative member 20. The abutting portion 122 is connected to the connecting portion 123 via a positioning portion 121. Thus, when the unlocking member 13 moves from the locked position to the unlocked position, the unlocking member 13 presses against the abutting portion 122, and the abutting portion 122 directly transmits the pressing force to the positioning portion 121. The positioning portion 121 is forced to move away from the holding portion 112, thereby separating the positioning portion 121 from the holding portion 112.
[0042] Of course, in some alternative solutions, the abutting part 122 is connected to the positioning part 121 through the connecting part 123, that is, the connecting part 123 is located between the abutting part 122 and the positioning part 121; or, the connecting part 123 is connected to the positioning part 121 through the abutting part 122, that is, the grounding part is located between the connecting part 123 and the positioning part 121.
[0043] The abutment part 122 includes, but is not limited to, various structures such as abutment plates, abutment strips, abutment blocks, abutment rods, and abutment pillars.
[0044] In one embodiment, the clip 12 further includes an elastically deformable portion 124 connecting the positioning portion 121 and the connecting portion 123. The elastically deformable portion 124 abuts against the edge piece 30 and / or the insert 11 for positioning. Thus, when the unlocking member 13 is in the locked position, the elastically deformable portion 124 abuts against the edge piece 30 and / or the insert 11 for positioning, allowing the positioning portion 121 to be stably engaged with the holding portion 112. This ensures good stability of the decorative piece 20 and the clip 12 on the glass assembly, preventing them from easily falling off. Furthermore, as the unlocking member 13 moves to the unlocked position, it synchronously drives the abutting portion 122 to move. The abutting portion 122 drives the positioning portion 121 to move. Because the elastically deformable portion 124 abuts against the edge piece 30 and / or the insert 11 for positioning, the elastically deformable portion 124 can be compressed and deformed, thereby separating the positioning portion 121 from the holding portion 112, allowing the decorative piece 20 and the clip 12 to be removed together.
[0045] See also Figure 4 In some embodiments, the abutment portion 122, the positioning portion 121, the elastic deformation portion 124, and the connecting portion 123 are integrally connected metal or plastic parts. Specifically, when the clip 12 is made of metal, it is integrally formed using various processes such as forging, die casting, stamping, and sheet metal forming, which can achieve mass production and has high production efficiency; when the clip 12 is made of plastic, it is integrally formed using injection molding.
[0046] In some embodiments, the elastically deformable portion 124 can be positioned by directly abutting against the edge banding 30, for example... Figures 9 to 11 As shown; it can also be indirectly positioned by abutting against the edge banding 30, for example, as Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the specific positioning is achieved by the abutting and positioning of the decorative piece 20 and the edge binding piece 30.
[0047] It should be noted that the specific shape and structure of the elastic deformation part 124 can be flexibly adjusted and set according to actual needs, as long as it can be compressed and deformed accordingly when driven by the positioning part 121 so that the positioning part 121 and the holding part 112 can be separated.
[0048] See also Figures 1 to 5In one embodiment, the elastic deformation portion 124 includes a first connecting plate 1241 and a second connecting plate 1242 connected to each other and arranged at an included angle. A positioning portion 121 is disposed on one end of the first connecting plate 1241 away from the second connecting plate 1242, and the other end of the second connecting plate 1242 away from the first connecting plate 1241 is connected to a connecting portion 123. Thus, when the elastic deformation portion 124 is subjected to compressive force, the included angle between the first connecting plate 1241 and the second connecting plate 1242 decreases. Optionally, the included angle between the first connecting plate 1241 and the second connecting plate 1242 may include, but is not limited to, 15° to 75°, specifically, for example, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, or 75°, etc.
[0049] In one embodiment, two holding portions 112 are provided and spaced apart. An abutment portion 122 is located between the two holding portions 112, and the opposite sides 1221 of the abutment portion 122 respectively abut against the sides 1123 of the two holding portions 112. Furthermore, two positioning portions 121 are provided and located on opposite sides 1221 of the abutment portion 122. In other words, the two holding portions 112 cooperate to form a limiting groove 113, and the abutment portion 122 moves along the limiting groove 113 under the push of the unlocking member 13. Thus, when the unlocking member 13 pushes the abutment portion 122, the opposite sides 1221 of the abutment portion 122 abut against the sides 1123 of the two holding portions 112, respectively, acting as a limiting and guiding force for the abutment portion 122, causing the abutment portion 122 to move stably along the sides 1123 of the holding portions 112. Furthermore, by having two holding parts 112 respectively engage with the two positioning parts 121, defects such as the clip 12 coming off can be effectively prevented.
[0050] See also Figures 1 to 4 In one embodiment, the insert 11 further includes a reinforcing member 114. The reinforcing member 114 has two opposing ends, each connected to a guide portion 111. Specifically, the opposing ends of the reinforcing member 114 are respectively connected to two retaining portions 112, meaning the ends of the reinforcing member 114 are indirectly connected to the guide portion 111. Thus, the reinforcing member 114 not only improves the structural strength of the insert 11 but can also be embedded and fixed within the edging member 30, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the insert 11 and the edging member 30.
[0051] See also Figures 1 to 4In one embodiment, the reinforcing member 114 includes a first reinforcing plate 1141, a second reinforcing plate 1142, and a third reinforcing plate 1143 connected in sequence. The end of the first reinforcing plate 1141 away from the second reinforcing plate 1142 and the end of the third reinforcing plate 1143 away from the first reinforcing plate 1141 are both connected to the guide portion 111. The first reinforcing plate 1141, the second reinforcing plate 1142, the third reinforcing plate 1143, and the guide portion 111 together form a clearance groove 1144, and an elastically deformable portion 124 is movably inserted into the clearance groove 1144.
[0052] See also Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the opposite sides 1243 of the elastic deformation portion 124 abut against the first reinforcing plate 1141 and the third reinforcing plate 1143, respectively. Specifically, the opposite sides 1243 of the first connecting plate 1241 and the second connecting plate 1242 abut against the first reinforcing plate 1141 and the third reinforcing plate 1143, respectively. Thus, when the elastic deformation portion 124 is compressed and undergoes contraction deformation, the opposite sides 1243 of the first connecting plate 1241 and the second connecting plate 1242 can move along the surfaces of the first reinforcing plate 1141 and the third reinforcing plate 1143, respectively, ensuring stable operation.
[0053] See also Figures 1 to 5 In one embodiment, the retaining portion 112 includes a retaining surface 1121 that engages with the positioning portion 121 and a first guide surface 1122 connected to the retaining surface 1121. The retaining surface 1121 is located on the bottom surface of the retaining portion 112, and the first guide surface 1122 is located on the side of the retaining portion 112 facing away from the guide portion 111. Thus, during the process of inserting the clip 12 into the insert 11, the positioning portion 121 slides along the first guide surface 1122, and the first guide surface 1122 guides the positioning portion 121, allowing the positioning portion 121 to smoothly slide downward from the first guide surface 1122 and enter below the retaining surface 1121 to be retained and fixed.
[0054] In some embodiments, the first guide surface 1122 includes, but is not limited to, an arc-shaped surface, a first inclined surface set at an acute angle to the holding surface 1121, etc., which can be flexibly adjusted and set according to actual needs.
[0055] See also Figures 1 to 5In one embodiment, the unlocking member 13 has a recess 131 formed on the side facing the latch 12, recessed in a direction away from the latch 12. The inner wall of the recess 131 is provided with a second guide surface 1311 set at an acute angle to the guide direction S of the guide portion 111. One end of the latch 12 extends into the recess 131 and abuts against the second guide surface 1311. Specifically, the end of the abutting portion 122 opposite to the positioning portion 121 extends into the recess 131 and abuts against the second guide surface 1311. Thus, during the process of pushing the unlocking member 13 to the unlock position, the second guide surface 1311 can simultaneously push the end of the latch 12, so that the latch 12 undergoes elastic deformation, causing the positioning portion 121 and the holding portion 112 to separate from each other.
[0056] In some embodiments, the second guide surface 1311 may include, but is not limited to, a straight surface, an arc surface, etc., and may be flexibly adjusted and set according to actual needs.
[0057] In one embodiment, the unlocking member 13 has a protrusion on the side facing the latch 12, protruding towards the latch 12. The outer wall of the protrusion has a third guide surface set at an acute angle to the guide direction S of the guide portion 111. One end of the latch 12 abuts against the third guide surface. Specifically, the end of the abutting portion 122 opposite to the positioning portion 121 abuts against the third guide surface. Thus, during the process of pushing the unlocking member 13 to the unlock position, the third guide surface can simultaneously push the end of the latch 12, causing the latch 12 to elastically deform and separate the positioning portion 121 from the holding portion 112.
[0058] In one embodiment, the guide portion 111 is provided with a guide groove 1111 adapted to the shape of the unlocking member 13. The unlocking member 13 is movably inserted into the guide groove 1111. The guide groove 1111 includes at least one anti-detachment sidewall 1113 capable of guiding and engaging with the unlocking member 13 and preventing the unlocking member 13 from disengaging from the guide groove 1111 in a direction perpendicular to the bottom wall 1112 of the guide groove 1111. Specifically, the anti-detachment sidewall 1113 can be configured as a straight inclined wall surface, forming an acute angle with the bottom wall 1112 of the guide groove 1111 to achieve the anti-detachment function; or it can be configured as an arc-shaped wall surface, which can also achieve the anti-detachment function when it is in contact with the outer wall surface of the unlocking member 13. Thus, when the unlocking component 13 moves along the guide groove 1111, the anti-detachment sidewall 1113 of the guide groove 1111 not only guides the unlocking component 13, but also limits the unlocking component 13 to prevent the unlocking component 13 from detaching from the guide groove 1111 in a direction perpendicular to the bottom wall 1112.
[0059] See also Figures 1 to 8In one embodiment, a glass assembly includes a decorative element fixing component 10 as described in any of the above embodiments, and further includes a glass body 40, a decorative element 20, and an edging component 30. The glass body 40 in this embodiment includes, but is not limited to, single-pane glass, laminated glass, etc., and the decorative element 20 includes, but is not limited to, a bright decorative strip. The edging component 30 is fixed to the glass body 40, and an insert 11 is fixed to the edging component 30. Specifically, the insert 11 and the glass body 40 are placed inside a molding die and integrally injection molded using edging material. Furthermore, a clip 12 is connected and fixed to the decorative element 20, and the specific connection method includes, but is not limited to, using various fasteners such as screws, pins, rivets, and snap-fit connectors, or using methods such as bonding and welding.
[0060] In the aforementioned glass assembly, when the unlocking member 13 is in the locked position, the positioning part 121 and the holding part 112 are correspondingly engaged and fixed, thereby enabling the clip 12 and the decorative part 20 to be stably installed on the insert 11. When it is necessary to remove the decorative part 20 from the glass assembly, the unlocking member 13 moves from the locked position to the unlocked position, and the unlocking member 13 presses the clip 12 to move the positioning part 121 and separate it from the holding part 112, thereby allowing the decorative part 20 and the clip 12 to be removed together. It can be seen that the removal operation of the decorative part 20 is relatively simple and quick. In addition, since the clip 12 and the unlocking member 13 are designed to cooperate with the insert 11, and the insert 11 is embedded and fixed on the edge piece 30, it is not necessary to bend the clip 12 and wrap it and fix it on the edge piece 30 as in related technologies. This reduces the space occupied, avoids interference between the clip 12 and the side sheet metal, and increases the visible area of the glass body 40 to a certain extent.
[0061] See also Figures 6 to 8 and Figures 9 to 11 , Figures 9 to 11 The structure shown is Figures 6 to 8 The most significant difference in the structures shown lies in the arrangement of the decorative fastening component 10 on the edging component 30. Specifically, Figures 6 to 8 The structure shown, after being rotated, for example, 180° along its own axial direction on the surface of the glass body 40, can obtain the following: Figures 9 to 11 The structure shown.
[0062] See also Figures 1 to 8 In one embodiment, a vehicle includes the glass assembly of any of the above embodiments.
[0063] In the aforementioned vehicle, when the unlocking member 13 is in the locked position, the positioning part 121 and the holding part 112 are correspondingly engaged and fixed, thereby enabling the clip 12 and the trim 20 to be stably installed on the insert 11. When it is necessary to remove the trim 20 from the glass assembly, the unlocking member 13 moves from the locked position to the unlocked position, and the unlocking member 13 presses the clip 12 to move the positioning part 121 and separate it from the holding part 112, thus allowing the trim 20 and the clip 12 to be removed together. It can be seen that the removal operation of the trim 20 is relatively simple and quick. In addition, since the clip 12 and the unlocking member 13 are designed to cooperate with the insert 11, and the insert 11 is embedded and fixed on the edge piece 30, it is not necessary to bend the clip 12 and wrap it and fix it on the edge piece 30 as in related technologies. This reduces the space occupied, avoids interference between the clip 12 and the side sheet metal, and increases the visible area of the glass body 40 to a certain extent.
[0064] It should be noted that the "holding part 112 and reinforcing rib" can be a part of the "guide part 111", that is, the "holding part 112 and reinforcing rib" and the "other parts of the guide part 111" can be integrally molded; or it can be an independent component that can be separated from the "other parts of the guide part 111", that is, the "holding part 112 and reinforcing rib" can be manufactured independently and then combined with the "other parts of the guide part 111" to form a whole.
[0065] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0066] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly.
