Abstract

This application provides a window assembly and a vehicle. The window assembly includes window glass, guide rails, a bezel, and a wiring harness assembly. The window glass includes an electrical functional layer. The guide rails are used to connect to the vehicle body panels. The bezel wraps around the window glass and connects to the guide rails. One end of the wiring harness assembly is connected to the electrical functional layer, and the other end is used to connect to a vehicle body connector. Part of the wiring harness assembly is located on the periphery of the bezel, and another part is located on the guide rails. This application places part of the wiring harness assembly on the periphery of the bezel, thereby reducing the encroachment of the wiring harness assembly on the thickness direction space of the window assembly. Furthermore, placing another part of the wiring harness assembly on the guide rails, i.e., arranging the wiring harness assembly on the bottom edge of the bezel and the side wall of the guide rails, reduces the risk of moisture corrosion to the wiring harness assembly by placing at least part of the wiring harness in the dry area of ​​the vehicle, thereby reducing the waterproofing requirements of the wiring harness assembly.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of vehicle technology, specifically relating to window assemblies and vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] As user demands for vehicles continue to increase, the application of dimming windows in vehicles is gradually expanding. Compared to traditional non-dimming windows, dimming beams need to be added to vehicles to control the dimming of the windows. In related technologies, the wiring harness typically occupies space in the vehicle's thickness direction and is fixed to the carrier by adhesive bonding. It is also often located in wet areas of the vehicle body, requiring a high degree of waterproofing. If the wiring harness is corroded due to water leakage, poor contact or contact failure will occur, resulting in the vehicle's dimming function malfunctioning. Summary of the Invention

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0064] Please refer to this as well. Figures 1-4 This embodiment provides a vehicle window assembly 1, which includes a window glass 11, a guide rail 12, a rim 13, and a wiring harness assembly 14. The window glass 11 includes an electrical functional layer 111. The guide rail 12 is used to connect to the vehicle body panel. The rim 13 wraps around the window glass 11 and connects to the guide rail 12. One end of the wiring harness assembly 14 is connected to the electrical functional layer 111, and the other end is used to connect to a vehicle body connector 15. A portion of the wiring harness assembly 14 is located on the periphery of the rim 13, and another portion is located on the guide rail 12.

[0065] The vehicle window glass 11 can be a windshield, a rear windshield, a side window, or a corner window, etc. The vehicle window glass 11 includes a first glass panel, an adhesive layer, and a second glass panel stacked together. An electrical functional layer 111 is disposed between the first and second glass panels. The first glass panel serves as the outer glass panel of the laminated glass, having a first surface and a second surface. The first surface faces away from the adhesive layer and is in contact with the external environment, while the second surface is close to the adhesive layer. The second glass panel serves as the inner glass panel of the laminated glass, having a third surface and a fourth surface. The third surface is close to the adhesive layer, while the fourth surface faces away from the adhesive layer and is in contact with the interior environment. The adhesive layer connects the second and third surfaces. For example, the electrical functional layer 111 may be disposed between the first glass panel and the adhesive layer. Another example is that the electrical functional layer 111 may be disposed between the adhesive layer and the second glass panel. Yet another example is that the electrical functional layer 111 may be embedded in the adhesive layer.

[0066] Specifically, the first glass plate is transparent or tinted glass, with a thickness of 0.7mm to 4mm, and a visible light transmittance greater than or equal to 80%. The second glass plate is also transparent or tinted glass, with a thickness of 0.7mm to 4mm, and a visible light transmittance greater than or equal to 80%. For example, the first glass plate can be 2.1mm thick transparent glass with a visible light transmittance of 89%, and the second glass plate can be 1.6mm thick green glass with a visible light transmittance of 83%, or 2.1mm thick green glass with a visible light transmittance of 80%.

[0067] The adhesive layer is a transparent or colored thermoplastic polymer film, and its thickness is 0.38 mm to 2.28 mm. For example, the thickness of the adhesive layer can be, but is not limited to, 0.38 mm, 0.76 mm, 1.14 mm, 1.52 mm, 1.9 mm, 2.28 mm, or other values ​​between 0.38 mm and 2.28 mm. The material of the thermoplastic polymer film can be selected from at least one of polyvinyl butyral (PVB), polyurethane (PU), ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), and ionomer polymer (SGP). When the adhesive layer is a transparent thermoplastic polymer, the visible light transmittance of the transparent thermoplastic polymer is greater than or equal to 80%. For example, the visible light transmittance of the adhesive layer can be, but is not limited to, 80%, 85%, 90%, or 95%. When the adhesive layer is a colored thermoplastic polymer film, the visible light transmittance of the colored thermoplastic polymer film is greater than or equal to 80%. For example, the visible light transmittance of the adhesive layer can be, but is not limited to, 80%, 85%, or 90%. The colored thermoplastic polymer film can be gray, green, or blue. Exemplarily, the adhesive layer can be a single-layer or multi-layer structure. Multi-layer structures can include, for example, double-layer, triple-layer, quadruple-layer, and five-layer structures. The adhesive layer can also have other functions, such as providing at least one colored area as a shade band to reduce sunlight interference with the human eye, or adding an infrared absorber to provide sun protection or heat insulation, or adding an ultraviolet absorber to provide ultraviolet protection, or having a higher plasticizer content in at least one layer of the multi-layer structure to provide sound insulation.

[0068] When energized, the electrical functional layer can perform functions such as dimming, light emission, heating, and antennaing. Optionally, the electrical functional layer 111 is disposed in the adhesive layer, for example, the adhesive layer can be two thermoplastic polymer films, with the electrical functional layer 111 sandwiched between the two thermoplastic polymer films.

[0069] When the electrofunctional layer is a dimming layer, it can be a polymer-dispersed liquid crystal film (PDLC), a suspended particle film (SPD), an electrochromic film (EC), a dye liquid crystal film (LC), etc. The minimum visible light transmittance of the dimming layer is less than or equal to 3%, for example, 3%, 2%, 1%, 0.5%, or 0%. Furthermore, the maximum visible light transmittance of the dimming layer can be set as needed, for example, 10%, 20%, 30%, 50%, 70%, or 80%. Specifically, the visible light transmittance of the dimming layer can be adjusted between 0% and 20%, between 0.5% and 50%, or between 0% and 70%, etc. The dimming layer can meet the visible light transmittance requirements in multiple scenarios. For example, when black border display is required, the dimming layer is in an opaque state (visible light transmittance is less than or equal to 3%, or even 0%), which improves the contrast between the displayed image and the displayed background. When no display is required, the dimming layer is in a transparent state (visible light transmittance is greater than or equal to 70%), which enables a larger area of ​​the car window glass 11 to be transparent.

[0070] The guide rail 12 connects the edging 13 to the vehicle body panel. The edging 13 wraps around the periphery of the window glass 11, allowing the window glass 11 to slide relative to the guide rail 12. The guide rail 12 also accommodates a sealing strip to reduce friction between the window glass 11 and the guide rail 12. Specifically, the window glass 11, guide rail 12, and edging 13 can be formed into an integral structure by injection molding the edging 13. Optionally, another portion of the wiring harness assembly 14 is disposed on the inner surface of the guide rail 12 facing the vehicle interior; and / or, another portion of the wiring harness assembly 14 is disposed on the peripheral side surface of the guide rail 12. Optionally, another portion of the wiring harness assembly 14 is disposed away from the outer surface of the guide rail 12 facing the outside.

[0071] Optionally, the edging 13 also includes a mounting part 135 for mounting the window assembly 1 to the vehicle body panel. Further optionally, the window glass 11, guide rail 12, and mounting point are injection molded together via the edging 13 to form a window assembly 1, which is then installed on the vehicle and fixed to the vehicle body via the mounting part 135. The integration method can also be adhesive bonding, or a combination of adhesive bonding and injection molding.

[0072] One end of the wiring harness assembly 14 is electrically connected to the electrical functional layer 111, and the other end is used to connect to the vehicle body connector 15. The wiring harness assembly 14 is used to connect the electrical functional layer 111 and the controller, and the controller can control the electrical functional layer 111. In this embodiment, the wiring harness assembly 14 is integrated into the edge 13 and the guide rail 12 of the window assembly 1, thereby optimizing the position of the wiring harness assembly 14. Specifically, a portion of the wiring harness assembly 14 is disposed on the periphery of the edge 13, thereby reducing the encroachment of the wiring harness assembly 14 on the thickness direction space of the window assembly 1. Furthermore, another portion of the wiring harness assembly 14 is disposed on the guide rail 12, which can also be understood as arranging the wiring harness assembly 14 on the bottom edge of the edge 13 and the side wall of the guide rail 12.

[0073] In summary, this embodiment reduces the encroachment on the thickness space of the window assembly 1 by fixing the wiring harness assembly 14 to the edging 13 and the guide rail 12, thus avoiding any impact on subsequent vehicle assembly. Furthermore, by placing at least a portion of the wiring harness 142 in the dry area of ​​the vehicle, the risk of moisture erosion to the wiring harness assembly 14 is reduced, thereby lowering the waterproofing requirements for the wiring harness assembly 14, reducing the risk of failure, and ultimately improving the reliability of the vehicle's dimming function.

[0074] Please refer to this as well. Figures 1-4 In one embodiment, the wiring harness assembly 14 includes a connected adapter 141 and a wiring harness 142. A portion of the wiring harness 142 near the adapter 141 is connected to the electrical functional layer 111. The adapter 141 is embedded in the periphery of the edging 13 and arranged along a direction perpendicular to the thickness of the window assembly 1. A portion of the wiring harness 142 is located on the periphery of the edging 13, and another portion of the wiring harness 142 is located on the guide rail 12.

[0075] The adapter 141 can also be understood as a plastic adapter. The adapter 141 is a commonly used electronic component in vehicle wiring harnesses, used to allow multiple branch lines to be drawn from the main wiring harness 142, while also serving to fix terminals. The wiring harness 142 is electrically connected to the adapter 141, electrically connected to the electrical functional layer 111, and also electrically connected to the body connector 15. Specifically, part of the wiring harness 142 is located on the periphery of the edging 13 and arranged along a direction perpendicular to the thickness of the window assembly 1, while another part of the wiring harness 142 is located on the guide rail 12.

[0076] On the one hand, the adapter 141 is located at the bottom edge of the edging 13 to facilitate concealment and fixation of the adapter 141, reduce encroachment on the thickness space of the window assembly 1, and avoid impacting subsequent vehicle assembly. On the other hand, this embodiment embeds the adapter 141 into the edging 13, for example, by injection molding, to form an integral structure with the edging 13. This not only improves the connection performance between the adapter 141 and the edging 13 and firmly fixes the adapter 141 to the edging 13, which is beneficial for subsequent vehicle assembly, but also reduces the risk of moisture erosion to the wiring harness 142, thereby reducing the waterproofing requirements of the wiring harness 142.

[0077] Optionally, another portion of the wiring harness 142 is disposed on the inner surface of the guide rail 12 facing the vehicle interior; and / or, another portion of the wiring harness 142 is disposed on the peripheral side surface of the guide rail 12. Optionally, another portion of the wiring harness 142 is disposed away from the outer surface of the guide rail 12 facing the outside.

[0078] In addition, connecting the portion of the wiring harness 142 near the adapter 141 to the electrical functional layer 111 helps improve the connection performance between the wiring harness assembly 14 and the electrical functional layer 111, reduces the probability of breakage between the wiring harness 142 and the electrical functional layer 111, lowers the risk of failure of the wiring harness assembly 14, and thus improves the reliability of the vehicle's dimming function.

[0079] Please refer to this as well. Figures 1-8 In one embodiment, the periphery of the edging 13 is provided with a limiting portion, which is used to abut against the wire harness 142 to limit the displacement of the wire harness 142.

[0080] The limiting part can be a limiting groove, a limiting protrusion, etc. The limiting part and the edging 13 are integral structural components, for example, the limiting part is formed on the periphery of the edging 13 by injection molding. Alternatively, the limiting part on the edging 13 can be transformed into other accessory structures, such as a cannon barrel for the wiring harness 142, a clip for the wiring harness 142, etc. Specifically, the limiting part can restrict the displacement of the wiring harness 142 in the thickness direction of the window assembly 1, or restrict the displacement of the wiring harness 142 in the height direction of the window assembly 1, or restrict the displacement of the wiring harness 142 in the length direction of the window assembly 1, etc.

[0081] In summary, this embodiment provides a limiting part on the edge 13 to fix the wire harness 142, thereby increasing the constraint on the wire harness 142, which is beneficial for subsequent vehicle assembly and reduces assembly difficulty.

[0082] Please refer to Figure 5In one embodiment, the limiting part includes a first sub-groove 131a, the first sub-groove 131a having a first groove sidewall and a second groove sidewall disposed opposite to each other along the height direction of the window assembly 1, the wire harness 142 being disposed between the first groove sidewall and the second groove sidewall, the first groove sidewall and the second groove sidewall being used to cooperate with each other to limit the displacement of the wire harness 142 along the height direction of the window assembly 1.

[0083] The first sub-groove 131a is located at the bottom edge of the edging 13. The sidewalls of the first and second grooves are along the height direction of the window assembly 1 (e.g., Figure 5 As shown in D1, the wire harness 142 is spaced apart, with the sidewalls of the first and second slots both used to abut against it, thereby limiting the displacement of the wire harness 142 in the height direction of the window assembly 1. The wire harness 142 is detachably connected to the first sub-slot 131a, and can be placed in the first sub-slot 131a according to the length of the wire harness 142, user needs, and other requirements.

[0084] In summary, this embodiment restricts the displacement of the wiring harness 142 in the height direction of the window assembly 1 by setting the first sub-groove 131a, preventing the wiring harness 142 from falling off the edge 13, thereby increasing the constraint on the wiring harness 142, which is beneficial for subsequent vehicle assembly and reduces assembly difficulty.

[0085] Please refer to Figure 6 In one embodiment, the limiting part further includes a second sub-groove 131b, the second sub-groove 131b having a limiting surface spaced apart from the bottom wall of the first sub-groove 131a along the thickness direction of the window assembly 1, the wire harness 142 being disposed between the bottom wall of the first sub-groove 131a and the limiting surface, the bottom wall of the first sub-groove 131a and the limiting surface being used to cooperate with each other to limit the displacement of the wire harness 142 along the thickness direction of the window assembly 1.

[0086] The second sub-groove 131b is located at the bottom edge of the edging 13. The bottom wall of the first sub-groove 131a is along the thickness direction of the window assembly 1 (e.g., the limiting surface is perpendicular to the groove). Figure 6 As shown in D2, the first sub-slot 131a has its bottom wall and limiting surface both used to hold the wire harness 142, thereby limiting the displacement of the wire harness 142 in the thickness direction of the window assembly 1. The wire harness 142 is detachably connected to the second sub-slot 131b, and can be placed in the second sub-slot 131b according to the length of the wire harness 142, user needs, and other requirements.

[0087] In summary, by providing a second sub-slot 131b, this embodiment can cooperate with the first sub-slot 131a, thereby further restricting the displacement of the wire harness 142 in the thickness direction of the window assembly 1, further preventing the wire harness 142 from falling off the edge 13, further increasing the constraint on the wire harness 142, further facilitating subsequent vehicle assembly, and further reducing assembly difficulty.

[0088] Please refer to Figure 7 In one embodiment, the limiting part further includes a third sub-groove 131c, the third sub-groove 131c having a third groove sidewall and a fourth groove sidewall disposed opposite to each other along the height direction of the window assembly 1; wherein, along the direction from the opening of the third sub-groove 131c to the bottom wall of the groove, the width between the third groove sidewall and the fourth groove sidewall gradually increases, and the opening width of the third sub-groove 131c is less than or equal to the width of the wire harness 142.

[0089] The third sub-slot 131c is located at the bottom edge of the edging 13. The side wall of the third slot and the side wall of the fourth slot are along the height direction of the window assembly 1 (e.g., Figure 7 As shown in D1, the third and fourth slots are spaced apart, with their sidewalls both used to support the wiring harness 142, thereby limiting its displacement in the height direction of the window assembly 1. The width of the third sub-slot 131c gradually increases from its opening to its bottom wall; it can be understood that the third sub-slot 131c has an inverted trumpet shape, or approximately an inverted trumpet shape. The wiring harness 142 is detachably connected to the third sub-slot 131c, and can be placed within it according to its length, user requirements, etc.

[0090] In summary, this embodiment, by setting a third sub-slot 131c, restricts the shape and width of the third sub-slot 131c, so that the wire harness 142 can be firmly fixed in the third sub-slot 131c, effectively preventing the wire harness 142 from falling off the edge 13, thereby effectively increasing the constraint on the wire harness 142, which is beneficial to the subsequent vehicle assembly and reduces the assembly difficulty.

[0091] Optionally, the opening directions of the first sub-slot 131a and the third sub-slot 131c are opposite. The bottom wall of the first sub-slot 131a and the bottom wall of the third sub-slot 131c are spaced apart along the thickness direction of the window assembly 1. The wire harness 142 is disposed between the bottom wall of the first sub-slot 131a and the bottom wall of the third sub-slot 131c. The bottom wall of the first sub-slot 131a and the bottom wall of the third sub-slot 131c are used to cooperate with each other to limit the displacement of the wire harness 142 along the thickness direction of the window assembly 1.

[0092] In one embodiment, the edging 13 has a top edge and a bottom edge that are disposed opposite each other along the height direction of the window assembly 1, and the first sub-groove 131a, the second sub-groove 131b, and the third sub-groove 131c are all disposed on the bottom edge.

[0093] This embodiment limits the arrangement of the first sub-slot 131a, the second sub-slot 131b, and the third sub-slot 131c at intervals on the bottom edge, thereby reducing the encroachment on the thickness direction space of the window assembly 1 and avoiding the impact on subsequent vehicle assembly.

[0094] Please refer to Figure 8 In one embodiment, the edging 13 further includes a connecting portion 132 disposed along the extension direction of the guide rail 12 and covering the periphery of the guide rail 12. The limiting portion further includes a fourth sub-groove 131d disposed on the periphery of the connecting portion 132. The fourth sub-groove 131d has a fifth groove sidewall and a sixth groove sidewall disposed opposite to each other along the thickness direction of the window assembly 1. The width between the fifth groove sidewall and the sixth groove sidewall gradually increases along the direction from the opening of the fourth sub-groove 131d to the bottom wall of the groove. The opening width of the fourth sub-groove 131d is less than or equal to the width of the wire harness 142.

[0095] The bottom edge of the edging 13 extends along the extension direction of the guide rail 12 and covers part of the periphery of the guide rail 12, forming a connecting part 132. The connecting part 132 and the edging 13 are integral structural components. The fourth sub-groove 131d is provided on the connecting part 132. The sidewalls of the fifth and sixth grooves are along the thickness direction of the window assembly 1 (e.g., ...). Figure 8 As shown in D2, the fifth and sixth slot sidewalls are spaced apart and used to support the wire harness 142, thereby limiting the displacement of the wire harness 142 in the thickness direction of the window assembly 1. The width of the fourth sub-slot 131d gradually increases from its opening to its bottom wall; it can be understood that the shape of the fourth sub-slot 131d is an inverted funnel shape, or approximately an inverted funnel shape. The wire harness 142 is detachably connected to the fourth sub-slot 131d and can be placed in the fourth sub-slot 131d according to its length, user needs, etc.

[0096] In summary, this embodiment, by setting a fourth sub-slot 131d, restricts the shape and width of the fourth sub-slot 131d, so that the wire harness 142 can be firmly fixed in the fourth sub-slot 131d, effectively preventing the wire harness 142 from falling off the edge 13, thereby effectively increasing the constraint on the wire harness 142, and also facilitating the guidance of the wire harness 142 from the edge 13 to the guide rail 12, which is beneficial for subsequent vehicle assembly and reduces assembly difficulty.

[0097] Please refer to this as well. Figures 1-11In one embodiment, the wiring harness 142 includes a glass sub-wiring harness 1421 and an adapter sub-wiring harness 1422. One end of the glass sub-wiring harness 1421 is connected to the adapter part 141, and the other end is provided with a first connector 143. One end of the adapter sub-wiring harness 1422 is provided with a second connector 144, and the other end is used to connect to the vehicle body connector 15. The first connector 143 is connected to the second connector 144.

[0098] The glass sub-wire harness 1421 is disposed on the periphery of the edging 13, the adapter sub-wire harness 1422 is disposed on the guide rail 12, and the first connector 143 and the second connector 144 are both embedded on the periphery of the edging 13 and arranged along the thickness direction perpendicular to the window assembly 1.

[0099] Glass sub-wiring harness 1421 connects to electrical functional layer 111. Glass sub-wiring harness 1421 is located on the periphery of the edging 13 and arranged along a direction perpendicular to the thickness of the window assembly 1; alternatively, at least a portion of glass sub-wiring harness 1421 is located on the bottom edge of the edging 13. Adapter sub-wiring harness 1422 is located on guide rail 12; alternatively, at least a portion of adapter sub-wiring harness 1422 is located on the side wall of guide rail 12. First connector 143 connects to second connector 144; for example, first connector 143 is inserted into second connector 144, or second connector 144 is inserted into first connector 143.

[0100] Optionally, the adapter sub-harness 1422 is disposed on the inner surface of the guide rail 12 facing the vehicle interior; and / or, the adapter sub-harness 1422 is disposed on the peripheral side surface of the guide rail 12. Optionally, the adapter sub-harness 1422 is disposed away from the outer surface of the guide rail 12 facing the outside.

[0101] In summary, this embodiment divides the wiring harness 142 into a glass sub-wiring harness 1421 and an adapter sub-wiring harness 1422, and uses connectors to connect them. This reduces the difficulty of installing the wiring harness 142 on the edging 13 and the guide rail 12. Furthermore, by placing the first connector 143 and the second connector 144 on the edging 13, the risk of the connectors being corroded by moisture is reduced, thereby reducing the waterproof requirements of the connectors and the risk of wiring harness 142 failure. This, in turn, improves the reliability of the vehicle's dimming function.

[0102] Please refer to this as well. Figures 9-10 In one embodiment, the periphery of the edging 13 is provided with an anti-detachment groove 133, and the first connector 143 and the second connector 144 are both disposed in the anti-detachment groove 133. The groove sidewall of the anti-detachment groove 133 is provided with a stepped surface, and the first connector 143 or the second connector 144 is provided with an anti-detachment protrusion. The anti-detachment protrusion abuts against the stepped surface to fix the first connector 143 and the second connector 144 to the edging 13.

[0103] The anti-detachment groove 133 and the edging 13 are integral structural components. For example, the anti-detachment groove 133 is formed on the periphery of the edging 13 by injection molding. Specifically, at least a portion of the first connector 143 and the second connector 144 may be disposed within the anti-detachment groove 133. The first connector 143 or the second connector 144 is provided with an anti-detachment protrusion, and a stepped surface is used to abut against the anti-detachment protrusion to limit the displacement of the first connector 143 or the second connector 144 within the anti-detachment groove 133, thereby fixing the first connector 143 and the second connector 144 within the anti-detachment groove 133. Optionally, there is a gap between the first connector 143 and the groove wall of the anti-detachment groove 133 to provide installation space for the first connector 143 to be installed into the anti-detachment groove 133. There is also a gap between the second connector 144 and the groove wall of the anti-detachment groove 133 to provide installation space for the second connector 144 to be installed into the anti-detachment groove 133.

[0104] In summary, this embodiment provides an anti-detachment groove 133 on the edge 13 to fix the first connector 143 and the second connector 144, thereby increasing the constraint on the glass sub-wiring harness 1421 and the adapter sub-wiring harness 1422, improving the connection performance of the glass sub-wiring harness 1421 and the adapter sub-wiring harness 1422, which is beneficial for subsequent vehicle assembly and reduces assembly difficulty.

[0105] In one embodiment, the wiring harness 142 includes a glass sub-wiring harness 1421 and an adapter sub-wiring harness 1422. One end of the glass sub-wiring harness 1421 is connected to the adapter part 141, and the other end is provided with a first connector 143. One end of the adapter sub-wiring harness 1422 is provided with a second connector 144, and the other end is used to connect to the vehicle body connector 15. The first connector 143 is connected to the second connector 144.

[0106] The bottom edge is provided with an anti-detachment groove 133. The first connector 143 and the second connector 144 are both located in the anti-detachment groove 133. There are two first sub-grooves 131a and two second sub-grooves 131b. The two first sub-grooves 131a and the two second sub-grooves 131b are respectively located on opposite sides of the anti-detachment groove 133. The third sub-grooves 131c are located away from the guide rail 12 relative to the anti-detachment groove 133. The third sub-grooves 131c are used to accommodate the glass sub-wire harness 1421.

[0107] This embodiment provides a first sub-groove 131a and a second sub-groove 131b on opposite sides of the anti-detachment groove 133. The first sub-groove 131a and the second sub-groove 131b cooperate with each other, thereby limiting the displacement of the glass sub-wiring harness 1421 and the adapter sub-wiring harness 1422 in the thickness direction of the window assembly 1, preventing the glass sub-wiring harness 1421 and the adapter sub-wiring harness 1422 from falling off the edge banding 13, which is beneficial for subsequent vehicle assembly and reduces assembly difficulty.

[0108] Furthermore, this embodiment also provides a third sub-groove 131c on the outside of the anti-detachment groove 133, which effectively prevents the glass sub-wire harness 1421 from falling off the edge 13, thereby effectively increasing the constraint on the glass sub-wire harness 1421, which is beneficial for subsequent vehicle assembly and reduces assembly difficulty.

[0109] Optionally, the fourth sub-slot 131d and the third sub-slot 131c are located on opposite sides of the anti-detachment slot 133. The third sub-slot 131c is used to accommodate the glass sub-wire harness 1421, and the fourth sub-slot 131d is used to accommodate the adapter sub-wire harness 1422. This embodiment, by having the third sub-slot 131c and the fourth sub-slot 131d cooperate, effectively prevents the glass sub-wire harness 1421 and the adapter sub-wire harness 1422 from detaching from the edge band 13, thereby effectively increasing the constraint on the glass sub-wire harness 1421 and the adapter sub-wire harness 1422, which is beneficial for subsequent vehicle assembly and reduces assembly difficulty.

[0110] Please refer to this as well. Figures 9-10 In one embodiment, the stepped surface includes a first stepped sub-surface 133a and a second stepped surface 133b spaced apart along the thickness direction of the window assembly 1, and the anti-detachment protrusion includes a first sub-protrusion 145a and a second sub-protrusion 145b spaced apart along the thickness direction of the window assembly 1, the first sub-protrusion 145a abutting against the first stepped surface 133a, and the second sub-protrusion 145b abutting against the second stepped surface 133b.

[0111] The first sub-step surface is provided on one side wall of the anti-detachment groove 133, and the second sub-step surface is provided on the other side wall of the anti-detachment groove 133. The first sub-step surface 133a and the second sub-step surface 133b are spaced apart along the thickness direction of the window assembly 1. The first sub-step surface 133a and the second sub-step surface 133b can cooperate with each other to abut against the first sub-protrusion 145a and the second sub-protrusion 145b respectively, thereby limiting the displacement of the first connector 143 and the second connector 144 in the thickness direction of the window assembly 1.

[0112] For example, the first connector 143 is inserted into the second connector 144. In this case, the second connector 144 has a first sub-protrusion 145a and a second sub-protrusion 145b. Alternatively, the second connector 144 is inserted into the first connector 143. In this case, the first connector 143 has a first sub-protrusion 145a and a second sub-protrusion 145b.

[0113] In summary, this embodiment, by providing a first step surface 133a and a second step surface 133b, which can cooperate with each other, further restricts the displacement of the first connector 143 and the second connector 144 in the thickness direction of the window assembly 1, further prevents the first connector 143 and the second connector 144 from falling off the edge 13, further increases the constraint on the glass sub-wiring harness 1421 and the adapter sub-wiring harness 1422, further improves the connection performance of the glass sub-wiring harness 1421 and the adapter sub-wiring harness 1422, further facilitates subsequent vehicle assembly, and further reduces assembly difficulty.

[0114] Please refer to Figure 11 In one embodiment, the periphery of the edge banding 13 is provided with an anti-detachment groove 133, and the first connector 143 and the second connector 144 are both disposed in the anti-detachment groove 133. The anti-detachment groove 133 has a seventh groove sidewall and an eighth groove sidewall disposed opposite to each other along the thickness direction of the window assembly 1. The first connector 143 and the second connector 144 are sandwiched and abutted between the seventh groove sidewall and the eighth groove sidewall.

[0115] For example, the first connector 143 is inserted into the second connector 144. In this case, the second connector 144 abuts against the side wall of the seventh slot and the side wall of the eighth slot, and the width of the second connector 144 is equal to the distance between the side walls of the seventh slot and the eighth slot. As another example, the second connector 144 is inserted into the first connector 143. In this case, the first connector 143 abuts against the side wall of the seventh slot and the side wall of the eighth slot, and the width of the first connector 143 is equal to the distance between the side walls of the seventh slot and the eighth slot.

[0116] In summary, this embodiment, by limiting the first connector 143 and the second connector 144 to be clamped and held between the side wall of the seventh groove and the side wall of the eighth groove, ensures that the first connector 143 and the second connector 144 can be firmly fixed in the anti-detachment groove 133, effectively preventing the first connector 143 and the second connector 144 from falling off the edge 13, which is beneficial for subsequent vehicle assembly and reduces assembly difficulty.

[0117] Please refer to this as well. Figures 1-12In one embodiment, the window assembly 1 further includes a fixing member 16 disposed on the guide rail 12. The fixing member 16 and the window glass 11 are arranged along the extension direction of the guide rail 12. The fixing member 16 is provided with at least one buckle portion 161. The buckle portion 161 is detachably connected to the wiring harness 142 to fix the wiring harness 142.

[0118] The fastener 16 is used to fix parts, such as fixing the wiring harness 142, fixing the seal 17, fixing the body connector 15, etc. The fastener 16 can be glued to the guide rail 12; it can also be integrated with the guide rail 12 during injection molding of the edge band 13; or it can be formed directly on the fastener 16 by forming corresponding structures, such as the snap-fit ​​part 161, the first fixing groove 162, the second fixing groove 163, and the third fixing groove 164, etc.

[0119] Optionally, the fastener 16 is disposed on the inner surface of the guide rail 12 facing the vehicle interior; and / or, the fastener 16 is disposed on the peripheral side surface of the guide rail 12. Optionally, the fastener 16 is disposed away from the outer surface of the guide rail 12 facing the outside.

[0120] The wire harness 142 is snapped into place by the latching part 161 to secure the wire harness 142 to the fixing member 16, thereby securing the wire harness 142 to the guide rail 12. When there are multiple latching parts 161, the multiple latching parts 161 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the guide rail 12, and / or, the multiple latching parts 161 are spaced apart along the width direction of the guide rail 12.

[0121] In summary, this embodiment, by adding a fixing member 16, facilitates the fixing of multiple parts, reducing the probability of damage during the transport of the window assembly 1. Positioning multiple parts on the fixing member 16 facilitates subsequent vehicle assembly and reduces assembly difficulty. Furthermore, the fixing member 16 is equipped with a snap-fit ​​part 161, allowing the user to adjust the fixing position of the wire harness 142 according to their needs or the length of the wire harness 142, thereby improving the reliability of fixing the wire harness 142 to the window assembly 1.

[0122] Please refer to this as well. Figures 1-13 In one embodiment, the window assembly 1 further includes a sealing element 17, through which the wiring harness 142 passes. The sealing element 17 is provided with a sealing portion, which blocks the through hole of the body panel when the guide rail 12 is connected to the body panel.

[0123] The seal 17 has a protruding sealing portion. When the window assembly 1 is not installed on the vehicle body, i.e., when the guide rail 12 is not connected to the body panel, the sealing portion does not block the through hole of the body panel. When the window assembly 1 is installed on the vehicle body, i.e., when the guide rail 12 is connected to the body panel, the sealing portion blocks the through hole of the body panel, thereby preventing moisture intrusion, isolating the area where the wiring harness 142 is located as a dry area, reducing the risk of the wiring harness 142 being corroded by moisture, thereby reducing the waterproof function requirements of the wiring harness 142, reducing the risk of the wiring harness 142 failing, and thus improving the reliability of the vehicle's dimming function.

[0124] Regardless of whether the window assembly 1 is installed on the vehicle body or whether the guide rail 12 is connected to the vehicle body panel, the wiring harness 142 is passed through the seal 17. The seal 17 also serves to fix the wiring harness 142, thereby limiting the position of the wiring harness 142 in the window assembly 1.

[0125] Please refer to this as well. Figures 1-13 In one embodiment, the sealing member 17 is further provided with an annular groove 171 on its periphery, the annular groove 171 being used to accommodate the wire harness 142, the wire harness 142 being able to be wound around the annular groove 171.

[0126] The annular groove 171 extends along the circumferential direction of the seal 17, and the wire harness 142 can wrap around the seal 17 and be disposed within the annular groove 171. In this embodiment, by providing the annular groove 171 on the seal 17, not only can the wire harness 142 be fixed to the seal 17 and its position further restricted, but also excessively long wire harnesses 142 can be wound around within the annular groove 171, thereby adjusting the wire harness 142, which is beneficial for subsequent vehicle assembly and reduces the difficulty of assembly.

[0127] Please refer to this as well. Figures 1-13 In one embodiment, the fastener 16 is provided with a first fixing groove 162, the first fixing groove 162 is used to accommodate at least a portion of the sealing member 17, and the sealing member 17 is used to be interference-fitted with the first fixing groove 162 to be fixed on the fastener 16.

[0128] When the window assembly 1 is not installed on the vehicle body, i.e., when the guide rail 12 is not connected to the vehicle body panel, the seal 17 is located in the first fixing groove 162. At this time, the wiring harness 142 passes through the seal 17, and the sealing part does not block the through hole of the vehicle body panel. When the window assembly 1 is installed on the vehicle body, i.e., when the guide rail 12 is connected to the vehicle body panel, the seal 17 is removed from the first fixing groove 162, and the sealing part blocks the through hole of the vehicle body panel. The wiring harness 142 always passes through the seal 17. Optionally, along the direction from the opening of the first fixing groove 162 to the bottom wall of the groove, the width of the first fixing groove 162 gradually decreases.

[0129] Optionally, the opening direction of the first fixing groove 162 is perpendicular to the thickness direction of the window assembly 1. By limiting the opening direction of the first fixing groove 162, the encroachment of the seal 17 on the thickness direction space of the window assembly 1 is reduced, thus avoiding any impact on subsequent vehicle assembly.

[0130] In summary, this embodiment provides a first fixing groove 162 on the fixing member 16 to temporarily accommodate the sealing member 17, thereby reducing the probability of damage to the sealing member 17 during the transport of the window assembly 1. Positioning the sealing member 17 on the fixing member 16 facilitates subsequent vehicle assembly and reduces assembly difficulty.

[0131] Please refer to this as well. Figures 1-14 In one embodiment, the window assembly 1 further includes a body connector 15 for connecting the wiring harness 142, and the fastener 16 is provided with a second fixing groove 163. The second fixing groove 163 is disposed adjacent to the through hole of the body panel. The second fixing groove 163 is used to accommodate at least part of the body connector 15, and the body connector 15 is detachably connected to the second fixing groove 163.

[0132] When the window assembly 1 is not installed on the vehicle body, i.e., when the guide rail 12 is not connected to the body panel, the body connector 15 is located in the second fixing groove 163. When the window assembly 1 is installed on the vehicle body, i.e., when the guide rail 12 is connected to the body panel, the body connector 15 is removed from the second fixing groove 163 and passes through the through hole of the body panel. On the one hand, the body connector 15 is located on the side wall of the guide rail 12, which facilitates manual removal. On the other hand, since the body connector 15 needs to pass through the through hole of the body panel during vehicle assembly, this embodiment sets the second fixing groove 163 adjacent to the through hole of the body panel to facilitate removal and operation, reducing the difficulty of assembly.

[0133] Optionally, the opening direction of the second fixing groove 163 is perpendicular to the thickness direction of the window assembly 1. By limiting the opening direction of the second fixing groove 163, the encroachment of the body connector 15 on the thickness direction space of the window assembly 1 is reduced, thus avoiding any impact on subsequent vehicle assembly.

[0134] In summary, this embodiment provides a second fixing groove 163 on the fixing member 16 to temporarily accommodate the body connector 15, thereby reducing the probability of damage to the body connector 15 during the transport of the window assembly 1. Positioning the body connector 15 on the fixing member 16 facilitates subsequent vehicle assembly and reduces assembly difficulty.

[0135] Please refer to this as well. Figures 1-15In one embodiment, the window assembly 1 further includes a movable buckle 18 for accommodating the wiring harness 142 to fix the wiring harness 142 to the vehicle body panel, and the movable buckle 18 is detachably connected to the fastener 16.

[0136] In this embodiment, by setting a movable buckle 18, the user can remove the movable buckle 18 from the fixing part 16 according to assembly needs or the length of the wire harness 142, and use the movable buckle 18 to fix the wire harness 142 to the body panel. This not only allows for flexible adjustment of the position of the wire harness 142 as needed, but also improves the connection performance between the wire harness 142 and the body panel, so that the wire harness 142 is firmly fixed to the body panel.

[0137] Please refer to this as well. Figures 1-15 In one embodiment, the fastener 16 is provided with a third fixing groove 164, the third fixing groove 164 being used to accommodate at least a portion of the movable buckle 18, the movable buckle 18 being detachably connected to the third fixing groove 164.

[0138] When the window assembly 1 is not installed on the vehicle body, that is, when the guide rail 12 is not connected to the body panel, the movable clip 18 is located in the third fixing slot 164. When the window assembly 1 is installed on the vehicle body, that is, when the guide rail 12 is connected to the body panel, the user can remove the movable clip 18 from the third fixing slot 164 according to assembly needs or the length of the wiring harness 142, and use the movable clip 18 to fix the wiring harness 142 to the body panel.

[0139] In summary, this embodiment provides a third fixing groove 164 on the fixing member 16 to temporarily accommodate the movable buckle 18, thereby reducing the probability of damage to the movable buckle 18 when transporting the window assembly 1. Positioning the movable buckle 18 on the fixing member 16 is beneficial for subsequent vehicle assembly and reduces the difficulty of assembly.

[0140] The following is a detailed description of the installation process of the window assembly 1 onto the vehicle body. First, remove the body connector 15 from the second fixing slot 163, and then pass the body connector 15 through the through hole in the body panel. Next, depending on assembly requirements or the length of the wiring harness 142, remove the movable clip 18 from the third fixing slot 164 and use the movable clip 18 to fix the wiring harness 142 to the body panel. Subsequently, remove the sealing member 17 from the first fixing slot 162 and use the sealing part to seal the through hole in the body panel.

[0141] In this application, since the adapter 141 needs to be injected into the mold, in order to avoid breakage at the welding position between the conductive part 1423 of the wire harness 142 and the electrical functional layer 111, the design of the edge banding 13 and the conductive part 1423 is optimized. The conductive part 1423 can also be understood as copper foil, used for welding and connecting the electrical functional layer 111.

Figures 16-21 In one embodiment, the wire harness 142 includes a conductive portion 1423, the conductive portion 1423 further includes a bent section 1423a and a connecting section 1423b connected together, the bent section 1423a is connected to the electrical functional layer 111, and the connecting section 1423b is connected to the adapter portion 141.

[0143] The conductive portion 1423 includes a bent section 1423a and a connecting section 1423b. The bent section 1423a is folded in half, which can be understood as a portion of the conductive portion 1423 being folded 180° to form the bent section 1423a. One end of the bent section 1423a is connected to the electrical functional layer 111, and the other end is connected to the connecting section 1423b; one end of the connecting section 1423b is connected to the bent section 1423a, and the other end is connected to the conversion section.

[0144] In summary, this embodiment improves the reliability of the window assembly 1 by setting a bent section 1423a at the exit position of the conductive part 1423 from the glass, thereby mitigating the direct impact of the material flow on the conductive part 1423 and reducing the probability of breakage at the welding position of the conductive part 1423 and the electrical functional layer 111.

[0145] Please refer to this as well. Figures 16-17 In one embodiment, the edging 13 includes a protrusion 134 disposed between the window glass 11 and the transition portion 141, and the bending section 1423a is disposed on the protrusion 134.

[0146] The protrusion 134 has a U-shaped structure, a U-shaped structure, an arc-shaped structure, or an arc-shaped structure, etc. The bent section 1423a is provided on the protruding surface of the protrusion 134 and is exposed on the edge 13. Specifically, after the conductive part 1423 is molded, the protrusion 134 is formed at the corresponding position of the bent section 1423a, so that the bent section 1423a is provided on the protrusion 134 to alleviate the direct impact of the material flow on the conductive part 1423, reduce the probability of breakage at the welding position of the conductive part 1423 and the electrical functional layer 111, thereby improving the reliability of the window assembly 1.

[0147] Please refer to this as well. Figures 18-21 The bent section 1423a is provided on the window glass 11, and the edging 13 covers the bent section.

[0148] Specifically, please refer to the following: Figures 18-19 In another embodiment, the window assembly 1 further includes a protective member 19 disposed on the window glass 11, the bent section 1423a is sandwiched within the protective member 19, and the edging 13 covers the protective member 19.

[0149] The protective component 19 can also be understood as an injection-molded part, used to protect the bent section 1423a. The protective component 19 can be connected to the window glass 11 by means of bonding, injection molding, etc.

[0150] The conductive part 1423 is folded in half from the exit position of the glass to form a bent section 1423a, and then a protective part 19 is formed by injection molding. The protective part 19 wraps around the bent section 1423a, and then the protective part 19 is bonded to the window glass 11. This reduces the direct impact of the material flow on the exit position of the conductive part 1423 from the glass, reduces the probability of breakage at the welding position of the conductive part 1423 and the electrical functional layer 111, and thus improves the reliability of the window assembly 1.

[0151] Please refer to this as well. Figures 20-21 In another embodiment, the bent segment 1423a is bonded to the window glass 11.

[0152] The conductive part 1423 is bonded to the window glass 11 from the exit position of the glass, and folded 180° to form a bent section 1423a. This can also be understood as bonding the bent section 1423a to the window glass 11. Then, the bent section 1423a is covered by injection molding edge banding 13, thereby reducing the direct impact of the material flow on the exit position of the conductive part 1423 from the glass, reducing the probability of breakage at the welding position of the conductive part 1423 and the electrical functional layer 111, thereby improving the reliability of the window assembly 1.
