Description

Technical Field

[0002] Generally, the side corner windows of passenger cars or commercial vehicles are installed on the fixed sheet metal of the vehicle body. Depending on the front and rear of the vehicle, they are called front side corner windows, rear side corner windows, etc. Figure 1 As shown, the body sheet metal of the front side corner window 10 may be designed as two sheet metals. One sheet metal is a fixed sheet metal of the body, hereinafter referred to as the side panel sheet metal, which provides the main mounting structure of the side corner window; the other is a fender sheet metal, which extends to the front part of the body. The fender sheet metal has a high replacement frequency. For example, after-sales repairs such as collisions and scratches require that the fender sheet metal should be easy to disassemble.

[0003] When the fender needs to be replaced, the body glue needs to be cut first to separate the side corner window from the sheet metal, and then the side corner window is removed from the body. After removing the corner window, the fender sheet metal is disassembled with tools for repair or replacement. After the above process is completed, the fender sheet metal is installed on the side sheet metal in turn, and then the new side corner window is bonded to the side sheet metal with body glue. The above process requires the removal of the entire side corner window first, and then the fender sheet metal. The process is complicated and the removal is troublesome. Summary of the invention

[0080] See also Figure 2The present embodiment provides a flip-up edged glass 1, comprising a first glass plate 11, a second glass plate 12, an edge 4 and a rotating mechanism 3. The second glass plate 12 is arranged side by side with the first glass plate 11, and a gap 13 is provided between the second glass plate 12 and the first glass plate 11. The edge 4 at least partially covers the gap 13 between the first glass plate 11 and the second glass plate 12. The edge 4 connects the first glass plate 11 and the second glass plate 12, allowing the second glass plate 12 and the first glass plate 11 to rotate relative to each other. The connecting member 5 is disposed on the first glass plate 11 or the second glass plate 12, and is used for being fixedly connected with the first matching member 21 or the second matching member 22. The first glass plate 11 is fixed to the first matching member 21, and the second glass plate 12 is detachably connected to the second matching member 22. When the second glass plate 12 is fixed to the second matching piece 22, the second glass plate 12 is parallel to the first glass plate 11, and the second glass plate 12 is in a closed position; when the second glass plate 12 is separated from the second matching piece 22, an angle is formed between the first glass plate 11 and the second glass plate 12, and the second glass plate 12 is in an open position.

[0081] The first glass plate and the second glass plate can be made of inorganic glass or organic glass. As inorganic glass, for example, soda-lime glass, aluminosilicate glass, borosilicate glass, alkali-free glass, quartz glass, etc. can be used without particular limitation. Among them, soda-lime glass is particularly preferred from the viewpoint of manufacturing cost and formability. The method for forming the glass plate is not particularly limited. For example, in the case of inorganic glass, a glass plate formed by a float process or the like is preferred. When the glass plate is inorganic glass, the glass plate can be either non-strengthened glass or strengthened glass. Unstrengthened glass is obtained by forming molten glass into a plate shape and slowly cooling it. Tempered glass is obtained by forming a compressive stress layer on the surface of unstrengthened glass. It can be either air-cooled tempered glass or chemically strengthened glass.

[0082] When the tempered glass is physically strengthened glass (e.g., air-cooled tempered glass), a compressive stress layer is generated on the glass surface due to the temperature difference between the glass surface and the inside of the glass, thereby strengthening the glass surface. When the tempered glass is chemically strengthened glass, compressive stress can be generated on the glass surface by ion exchange method after bending to strengthen the glass surface. In addition, as the glass plate, glass that absorbs ultraviolet rays or infrared rays can be used. The glass plate is preferably transparent, but it can also be a colored glass plate within the range that does not impair transparency.

[0083] When the glass plate is made of organic glass, examples of the material of the organic glass include transparent resins such as polycarbonate and acrylic resin (for example, polymethyl methacrylate).

[0084] Specifically, the second glass plate 12 is arranged side by side with the first glass plate 11. In the loaded state, the second glass plate 12 is substantially flush with the second glass plate 12. A certain gap 13 is provided between the second glass plate 12 and the first glass plate 11 to ensure that the second glass plate 12 has enough space to rotate, so as to avoid the edges of the first glass plate 11 and the second glass plate 12 from colliding or interfering with each other when the second glass plate 12 is turned over.

[0085] The gap 13 between the first glass plate 11 and the second glass plate 12 is used to prevent the second glass plate 12 from interfering with the first glass plate 11 when the second glass plate 12 rotates. Figure 2 As shown, the edge wrapping 4 at least partially covers the gap 13 between the first glass plate 11 and the second glass plate 12. Specifically, the edge wrapping 4 at least covers the side edges adjacent to the first glass plate 11 and the second glass plate 12, the side edges adjacent to the second glass plate 12 and the first glass plate 11, and the inner side surfaces of the first glass plate 11 and the second glass plate 12. Optionally, the edge wrapping 4 can also cover all the side edges of the first glass plate 11 and all the side edges of the second glass plate 12. In this way, the edge wrapping 4 plays a role in connecting the first glass plate 11 and the second glass plate 12. The edge wrapping 4 is used to fill the gap 13 between the first glass plate 11 and the second glass plate 12 to prevent dust and moisture from penetrating into the vehicle from the gap 13.

[0086] Optionally, the material of the edge wrapping 4 may be, but is not limited to, thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), etc. Preferably, the material of the edge wrapping 4 is TPE or EPDM to improve the weather resistance and fatigue resistance of the edge wrapping 4.

[0087] like Figure 3 As shown, the connecting member 5 is disposed on the first glass plate 11 or the second glass plate 12, and is used to be fixedly connected to the first matching member 21 or the second matching member 22. The first glass plate 11 is fixed to the first matching member 21, and the second glass plate 12 is detachably connected to the second matching member 22.

[0088] In the loading state, when the second glass plate 12 is fixed to the second matching member 22, the first glass plate 11 and the second glass plate 12 are parallel or nearly parallel, and the second glass plate 12 is in a state as shown in FIG. Figure 4The first glass plate 11 and the second glass plate 12 are parallel or nearly parallel, which means that the angle between the plane where the first glass plate 11 is located and the plane where the second glass plate 12 is located is less than a preset angle threshold (for example, 10 degrees). The first glass plate 11 is fixedly connected to the first matching piece 21, and the second glass plate 12 is fixedly connected to the second matching piece 22.

[0089] When the second matching piece 22 needs to be removed, the connection state between the first glass plate 11 and the first matching piece 21 remains unchanged. The second glass plate 12 is separated from the second matching piece 22, and an angle is formed between the first glass plate 11 and the second glass plate 12. The second glass plate 12 is in a state as shown in FIG. Figure 5 Shown in open position.

[0090] During the operation, the operator can rotate the second glass plate 12 to an angle that is convenient for operation. After the second glass plate 12 and the second matching piece 22 are rotated, there is almost no overlapping area in the installation or removal direction, which is convenient for the operator to remove or install the second matching piece 22. The second glass plate 12 and the first glass plate 11 continue to maintain a connection relationship through the hemming 4, and there is no need to remove the first matching piece 21, which greatly reduces the workload required for removing and installing the second matching piece 22.

[0091] Different from the prior art, the above technical solution sets a edging 4 in the gap 13 between the first glass plate 11 and the second glass plate 12, and the second glass plate 12 can be rotated to an open position or a closed position relative to the first glass plate 11, which not only ensures the installation stability of the first glass plate 11 and the second glass plate 12 during loading, but also facilitates the staff to disassemble and install the second matching piece 22.

[0092] In some other embodiments, the edge wrapping is provided with a notch 41 at the gap 13. The notch 41 at the gap reserves sufficient rotation space for the second glass plate 12. The notch 41 is preferably provided on the inner surface of the edge wrapping 4. In this way, the thickness of the edge wrapping 4 is also controlled within a certain range, so as to avoid the edge wrapping 4 being too thick and causing the second glass plate 12 to be difficult to fold. When the second glass plate 12 rotates, the edge wrapping notch at the gap 13 may be deformed to a certain extent.

[0093] In some other embodiments, a rotating mechanism 3 is further included. The rotating mechanism 3 is fixedly disposed inside the first glass plate 11 and the second glass plate 12, connected to the first glass plate 11 and the second glass plate 12 respectively, and rotates synchronously with the first glass plate 11 and the second glass plate 12.

[0094] The rotating mechanism 3 is connected to the first glass plate 11 and the second glass plate 12 respectively through the edge 4. The rotating mechanism 3 allows the second glass plate 12 to rotate between a closed position and an open position. Figure 4As shown, when the second glass plate 12 is parallel or nearly parallel to the first glass plate 11, the second glass plate 12 is in the closed position. Figure 5 As shown, when an angle is formed between the second glass plate 12 and the first glass plate 11 , the second glass plate 12 is in the open position.

[0095] Installing the rotating mechanism 3 on the edging 4 can ensure the stability of the rotation, avoid the second glass plate 12 being unable to rotate, the rotation trajectory being offset, and being difficult to rotate due to the edging 4 material being too soft, and also avoid the problem of the edging 4 material being torn.

[0096] In the above technical solution, the rotating mechanism 3 is arranged on the edge 4, and the second glass plate 12 can be rotated to the open position or the closed position under the drive of the rotating mechanism 3. The first glass plate 11 and the second glass plate 12 are connected by the edge 4. The second glass plate 12 rotates from the closed position to the open position, and there is almost no overlapping area with the second matching member 22 in the installation or removal direction, which is convenient for the staff to perform removal, replacement and other operations.

[0097] Preferably, the first glass plate 11 and the second glass plate 12 may also be provided with a visible area and a non-visible area. The non-visible area is provided with a black border of ink, and the visible area is transparent glass. Furthermore, the rotating mechanism 3 is provided at the non-visible area, which can improve the overall aesthetics of the corner window structure.

[0098] In some other embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the rotating mechanism 3 includes a rotating rod 31, a first connecting piece 32 and a second connecting piece 33. The rotating rod 31 is located in the projection area of ​​the gap 13 along the glass thickness direction; the rotating axis direction of the rotating rod 31 is parallel to the length direction of the gap 13. The first connecting piece 32 is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating rod 31 and is connected to the first glass plate 11 through the edge wrapping 4. The second connecting piece 33 is fixedly connected to the other side of the rotating rod 31, arranged opposite to the first connecting piece 32, and is connected to the second glass plate 12 through the edge wrapping 4. The second connecting piece 33 can rotate around the rotating axis of the rotating rod 31.

[0099] The rotating rod 31 is respectively connected to the first connecting piece 32 and the second connecting piece 33. The rotating rod 31 is arranged in the projection area of ​​the gap 13 along the glass thickness direction. Figure 6 FIG. 1 is a partial assembly diagram of a first glass plate 11, a second glass plate 12 and an edge wrapping 4. The rotating mechanism 3 is arranged at a gap 13 between the first glass plate 11 and the second glass plate 12. Figure 7As shown, the rotation axis direction of the rotating rod 31 is consistent with the length direction of the gap 13. The second glass plate 12 is connected to the second connecting piece 33 through the edge 4, and the second glass plate 12 and the second connecting piece 33 rotate around the rotation axis of the rotating rod 31 together.

[0100] like Figure 6 As shown, in some other embodiments, when the second glass plate 12 is in the closed position, the first connecting piece 32 is parallel to the first glass plate 11 , and the second connecting piece 33 is parallel to the second glass plate 12 .

[0101] The first connecting piece 32 is parallel to the first glass plate 11, and the second connecting piece 33 is parallel to the second glass plate 12. In this way, when the second connecting piece 33 rotates, it can stably and evenly transmit stress to the surface of the edge 4 and the second glass plate 12, so that the second glass plate 12 is subjected to a more uniform force, thereby preventing the second glass plate 12 from being locally subjected to excessive pressure and causing glass breakage.

[0102] In some other embodiments, the first connecting piece 32 and the second connecting piece 33 are fixedly connected to the edge banding 4 by mechanical connection, bonding or injection molding.

[0103] In some other embodiments, the first connecting piece 32 is provided with a first through hole penetrating the first connecting piece 32 along the thickness direction, and the second connecting piece 33 is provided with a second through hole 331 penetrating the second connecting piece 33 along the thickness direction.

[0104] The rotating mechanism 3 further includes a first fastener 322 and a second fastener 332. One end of the first fastener 322 is fixed to the edge 4, and the other end passes through the first through hole and is fixedly connected to the first connecting piece 32. One end of the second fastener 332 is fixed to the edge 4, and the other end passes through the second through hole 331 and is fixedly connected to the second connecting piece 33.

[0105] The hemming 4 is connected to the first fastener 322 and the second fastener 332. Specifically, the first fastener 322 and the second fastener 332 are nail posts. Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the second fastener 332 can be locked with the nut 333 .

[0106] The first connecting piece 32 is provided with a first through hole to facilitate the mutual positioning between the edge 4 and the nail column. The first fastener 322 is provided on the edge 4 and passes through the first through hole of the first connecting piece 32, thereby improving the stability of the connection structure between the edge 4 and the first connecting piece 32.

[0107] like Fig.10As shown, in some other embodiments, one end of the first fastener 322 and the second fastener 332 are both covered in the edge 4. Such a configuration can increase the connection stability between the first fastener 322, the second fastener 332 and the glass.

[0108] In some other embodiments, the first connecting piece 32 and the second connecting piece 33 are fixedly connected to the edge 4 by adhesive. If some vehicle structures do not have enough space to arrange the installation structure of fastener locking, adhesives can also be used to fix the first connecting piece 32 to the first glass plate 11, the second connecting piece 33 to the second glass plate 12, respectively.

[0109] In some other embodiments, the rotation rod 31 is provided with a limiting structure 34 for limiting the rotation angle of the second glass plate 12. In practical applications, when the rotation angle of the second glass plate 12 is large, creases are easily generated on the surface of the edge wrapping 4. Therefore, the limiting structure 34 can be used to control the rotation angle of the second glass plate 12 to prevent the second glass plate 12 from rotating too large.

[0110] Without limitation, the limiting structure 34 may be a stopper, which may be arranged on the rotating rod 31, or on the first connecting piece 32 or the second connecting piece 33, as long as it can play a role in blocking the second glass plate 12 from rotating at a preset position. Optionally, the limiting structure 34 may also be a rotation groove, which may be arranged on the rotating rod 31. The second connecting piece 33 rotates along the rotation groove, so the rotation angle of the second glass plate 12 can be controlled by controlling the length of the rotation groove.

[0111] In some other embodiments, such as Fig.11 As shown, the limiting structure 34 includes a limiting ring, which is rotatably mounted on the rotating rod 31, and the limiting ring is provided with an opening 342, and the opening 342 has a first end and a second end, the first connecting piece 32 passes through the opening 342 and is connected to the rotating rod 31, the limiting ring 34 is connected to the second connecting piece 33, and the first connecting piece 32 rotates between the first end and the second end of the opening 341 relative to the limiting ring 34.

[0112] Alternatively, the second connecting piece 33 passes through the opening and is connected to the rotating rod 31, and the limiting ring 34 is connected to the first connecting piece 32. The second connecting piece 33 and the limiting ring 341 rotate relatively between the first end and the second end of the opening 342.

[0113] like Fig.11As shown, the limiting ring 341 is sleeved on the rotating rod 31 and can rotate around the rotating shaft of the rotating rod 31. Part of the outer surface of the limiting ring 341 is fixedly connected to the second connecting piece 33, and the limiting ring 341 can drive the second connecting piece 33 to rotate when it rotates. The opening of the limiting ring in the figure is 90 degrees, and the opening 342 of the limiting ring 341 can be 60°, 70°, 80°, 90°, 100°, 120°, etc. The first connecting piece 32 passes through the opening 342 and is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 31. Therefore, the rotation angle of the second glass plate 12 can be limited by the opening angle of the limiting ring. When in use, when the second glass plate 12 is in the closed position, one end of the limiting ring 341 contacts the first connecting piece 32, and the first glass plate 11 and the second glass plate 12 are flush. When the second glass plate 12 rotates to the open position, the other end of the limiting ring 341 abuts against the first connecting piece 32, and the second connecting piece 33 cannot continue to rotate, thereby achieving the limiting effect.

[0114] In some other embodiments, when the second glass plate 12 is in the open position, the angle between the first glass plate 11 and the second glass plate 12 is in the range of 30-120°. In order to avoid the appearance of creases that are difficult to restore on the surface of the edge 4 after folding, the flip angle of the second glass plate 12 should not be too large. If the folding angle of the second glass plate 12 is too small, the operating space left for the operator is small, which is not convenient for disassembly and replacement. Therefore, it is necessary to control the flip angle of the second glass plate 12 within a suitable range. When the second glass plate 12 is in the open position, the angle between the first glass plate 11 and the second glass plate 12 is set to be in the range of 30-120°, which can avoid the damage to the edge 4 caused by the folding angle being too large, and can be opened to a suitable position to facilitate the replacement operation of the staff. When the second glass plate 12 is folded to nearly 90°, there is almost no overlapping area between the second glass plate 12 and the first matching piece 21 in the installation / disassembly direction, which is convenient for the disassembly and replacement of the first matching piece 21.

[0115] In some other embodiments, the outer surface of the edge 4 is flush with the outer surfaces of the first glass plate 11 and the second glass plate 12. From the outside of the vehicle, the outer surfaces of the first glass plate 11, the edge 4 and the second glass plate 12 are flush and continuous, which is more coordinated and beautiful.

[0116] In some other embodiments, the hardness of the edge binding 4 ranges from 50 to 95 Shore A.

[0117] like Fig.12As shown, in some other embodiments, the connecting member 5 includes a first connecting portion 51 and a second connecting portion 52, wherein the first connecting portion 51 is located on one side edge connected to the first glass plate 11, and the second connecting portion 52 is located on the other side edge connected to the second glass plate 12. The glass is fixed to the vehicle body matching component through the first connecting portion 51 and the second connecting portion 52.

[0118] In some other embodiments, the connecting member 5 includes a first connecting portion 51 and a second connecting portion 52 , wherein the first connecting portion 51 is disposed at an inner surface edge of the first glass plate 11 , and the second connecting portion 52 is disposed at an inner surface edge of the second glass plate 12 .

[0119] Existing window glass is mainly positioned accurately to the corresponding connection of the vehicle body through nail posts and ensures long-term reliability. In the process of removing the side corner window, due to the structural particularity of the nail post, the installation structure of the nail post is very easy to be damaged during the disassembly process. The nail post of the side corner window is generally made of plastic material. One of the ways is to fix the nail post to the side corner window through injection molding or bonding process, that is, the nail post and the side corner window are fixed together. The installation structure of the plastic nail post is unidirectional, which is easy to deform but not easy to be damaged during the installation process. However, when the nail post needs to be removed, the installation structure is stuck by the body sheet metal and is not easy to pull out, that is, it is a disposable installation structure. Once the installation structure of the nail post is damaged, the entire side corner window will fail, and the entire glass needs to be replaced, which is costly and not conducive to parts replacement in the aftermarket.

[0120] Therefore, in some other embodiments, the connector 5 is a detachable nail column or a self-lubricating nail column. Without limitation, the detachable nail column can be made of metal, and the function of repeated detachment can be achieved by using bolts and nuts. Optionally, the detachable nail column can be a split nail column, and the split nail column can be a common split nail column sold on the market, and the pin and base of the split nail column can be designed as a separate structure. Through the improvement of the connector 5, only the connector 5 needs to be replaced during subsequent maintenance, which greatly reduces the maintenance cost and reduces cost waste.

[0121] Specifically, the connector 5 can be a self-lubricating nail column. A self-lubricating nail column is a nail column made of self-lubricating material. Self-lubricating material is a material that does not require external lubricant when used as a friction pair, and can exhibit low friction and low wear performance during relative friction. Preferably, the self-lubricating nail column can be made of POM, PP, UPE, PTFE, PEEK, PVDF and other materials. Optionally, the connector 5 can be an integrated nail column. When the connector 5 adopts an integrated structure, a nail column made of a material with good lubricity can be used, and it is not easy to cause damage to the nail column when disassembling the nail column, thereby achieving a reusable effect.

[0122] In a second aspect, the present invention further provides a vehicle door assembly, comprising a reversible edge-wrapped glass 1 and a vehicle body matching part. The reversible edge-wrapped glass 1 is the reversible edge-wrapped glass 1 described in the first aspect. The vehicle body matching part is fixedly connected to the reversible edge-wrapped glass 1.

[0123] In some other embodiments, the vehicle body fitting includes a first fitting 21 and a second fitting 22. The first fitting 21 is connected to the first glass plate 11 via a first connecting portion 51 disposed on the edge 4. The second fitting 22 is fixed to the first fitting 21 and connected to the second glass plate 12 via the second connecting portion 52 and the edge 4. Fig.12 As shown, there is a distance between the first glass plate 11 and the first matching piece 21. In some other embodiments, an adhesive is further provided between the first matching piece 21 and the first glass plate 11. Such a configuration ensures a stable connection between the first glass plate 11 and the first matching piece 21.

[0124] Finally, it should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described in the specification and drawings of this application, this does not limit the scope of patent protection of this application.
