[0036] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "disposed on" another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be a central element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be a central element at the same time. If any, the terms "vertical", "horizontal", "upper", "lower", "left", "right" and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only implementation method.

[0037] See also Figure 1 , is a glass assembly 10 shown in an embodiment of the present application, and the glass assembly 10 is specifically a rear glass assembly of a vehicle, which is used to cooperate with a tailgate during installation.

[0038] During installation, the glass assembly 10 is mounted on the vehicle body fitting 20. The vehicle body fitting 20 serves to support the glass assembly 10 and improve structural stability. For example, the vehicle body fitting 20 is a vehicle body sheet metal.

[0039] In one embodiment, the glass assembly 10 includes glass 11 and an edge 12 .

[0040] The glass 11 may be, but is not limited to, corner window glass. The glass 11 may be any one of single-layer glass, double-layer glass, multi-layer glass, laminated glass, etc., and may be flexibly selected according to actual needs.

[0041] For example, when the glass 11 is laminated glass, the glass 11 includes an outer glass, an inner glass, and an intermediate layer sandwiched between the outer glass and the inner glass. The outer glass, the inner glass, and the intermediate layer are connected as a whole by hot pressing, bonding, or other processes.

[0042] The intermediate layer may be a functional layer having certain functions, such as a photovoltaic module, a light-emitting module, an antenna module, etc.

[0043] The edging 12 is connected to the side of the glass 11. For example, the edging 12 is integrally formed on the side of the glass 11 by injection molding. Preferably, the edging 12 is arranged along the outer edge of the glass 11, which can not only play a role in installing and positioning the glass 11, but also play a role in buffering and protecting the glass 11.

[0044] The material of the edging 12 may be, but is not limited to, TPE, PVC, PU, ​​and the like.

[0045] Please continue reading Figures 2 to 3In the present application, the edging 12 specifically includes a main body 121, a first tongue piece 122 and a second tongue piece 13. The main body 121 is connected to the side of the glass 11. The first tongue piece 122 is arranged on the main body 121 and is used to extend toward the vehicle body matching part 20. The second tongue piece 13 is arranged on the inner side of the first tongue piece 122. The second tongue piece 13 is used to abut against the vehicle body matching part 20 to prevent the first tongue piece 122 from bending toward the inner side of the glass assembly 10.

[0046] For example, Figure 2 FIG. 2 is a schematic structural diagram showing that the first tongue piece 122 has a curling phenomenon.

[0047] In summary, the implementation of the technical solution of this embodiment will achieve the following beneficial effects: when the glass assembly 10 of this solution is assembled with the vehicle body fitting 20, the glass assembly 10 is pressed against the vehicle body fitting 20, and the second tongue piece 13 will contact the vehicle body fitting 20 before the first tongue piece 122. The vehicle body fitting 20 abuts against the second tongue piece 13 and then supports the second tongue piece 13, so that the second tongue piece 13 can generate a thrust toward the outside of the glass assembly 10 on the first tongue piece 122, so as to make the first tongue piece 122 away from the R angle 21 of the vehicle body fitting 20, and avoid the first tongue piece 122 being interfered by the R angle 21 of the vehicle body fitting 20 and causing the curling phenomenon of bending toward the inside of the glass assembly 10; in this way, not only can the curling problem of the first tongue piece 122 be well solved, but also the need for manual correction of the curling after installation is avoided, which has the problems of difficult adjustment operation, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and ensures one-time installation without curling, thereby improving the installation quality and production efficiency of the glass assembly 10.

[0048] It should be noted that when the glass assembly 10 and the vehicle body fitting 20 are just assembled, there will be a gap between the first tongue piece 122 and the vehicle body fitting 20. Since the first tongue piece 122 is a soft rubber structure, the contact force between the first tongue piece 122 and the vehicle body fitting 20 will be gradually released, and the first tongue piece 122 will rebound to the theoretical position. Alternatively, if the outer side of the first tongue piece 122 is gently pushed by hand, the second tongue piece 13 will slide inward along the vehicle body fitting 20, so that the first tongue piece 122 can quickly return to the theoretical position.

[0049] In the present application, the glass 11 is arranged above the vehicle body matching component 20 at intervals, and the first tongue piece 122 is vertically or approximately vertically connected to the main body 121 .

[0050] In one embodiment, a sharp corner portion 1221 is formed at one end of the first tongue piece 122 away from the main body 121. The end of the first tongue piece 122 close to the vehicle body matching piece 20 is designed as the sharp corner portion 1221, so that this end is more likely to form an avoidance and guiding effect with the R angle 21 of the vehicle body matching piece 20, so that the first tongue piece 122 is more likely to deflect and move toward the outside of the glass assembly 10 under the push of the second tongue piece 13.

[0051] Please continue reading Figure 3 For example, the sharp corner portion 1221 includes a first surface 1221a and a second surface 1221b connected at an angle, wherein the first surface 1221a is tilted and used to be opposite to the R angle 21 of the vehicle body fitting 20; wherein the angle between the first surface 1221a and the second surface 1221b is in the range of 45° to 60°. The first surface 1221a is tilted in a direction away from the inner side of the glass assembly 10 to obtain a better avoidance and guiding effect, thereby preventing the first tongue piece 122 from contacting and interfering with the vehicle body fitting 20, which makes it difficult or even impossible for the second tongue piece 13 to push the first tongue piece 122. Within this angle range, the first tongue piece 122 can obtain sharp corner portions 1221 of different sizes, thereby being suitable for different product installation occasions.

[0052] On the basis of the above embodiment, along the direction from the end of the first tongue piece 122 away from the main body 121 to the end of the first tongue piece 122 connected to the main body 121, that is, Figure 3 In the direction of the middle arrow S, the second tongue piece 13 is arranged at a position of 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the first tongue piece 122. In this way, the thrust generated by the second tongue piece 13 can be better transmitted to the sharp corner 1221 of the first tongue piece 122, thereby preventing the sharp corner 1221 from curling toward the inside of the glass assembly 10.

[0053] In addition, in another embodiment of the present application, the second tongue piece 13 includes a connecting portion 131 and a supporting portion 132 that are connected to each other, one end of the connecting portion 131 is connected to the first tongue piece 122, and the supporting portion 132 is connected to the other end of the connecting portion 131, and the supporting portion 132 is formed into an arc-shaped structure, and the arc-shaped convex surface of the supporting portion 132 is used to abut against the vehicle body fitting 20.

[0054] The second tongue piece 13 is connected to the first tongue piece 122 by connecting the connecting portion 131. The second tongue piece 13 and the first tongue piece 122 may be integrally formed or detachably assembled, which can be flexibly selected according to actual needs.

[0055] Preferably, in the present application, the second tongue piece 13 and the first tongue piece 122 are an integral structure, with high connection strength, stable structure, and good thrust transmission effect. The abutting portion 132 is used to abut against the vehicle body fitting 20, so that the second tongue piece 13 can generate a thrust toward the outside of the glass assembly 10 on the first tongue piece 122, and the abutting portion 132 adopts an arc-shaped structure. When the arc-shaped convex surface of the abutting portion 132 abuts against the vehicle body fitting 20, it is more conducive to the second tongue piece 13 to generate a thrust toward the first tongue piece 122.

[0056] Furthermore, the connecting portion 131 is connected to the abutting portion 132 at an angle. With this arrangement, the abutting portion 132 can be arranged closer to the vehicle body fitting 20 than the connecting portion 131, so that the end of the abutting portion 132 extends out of the sharp corner portion 1221 of the first tongue piece 122, ensuring that when the glass assembly 10 is installed, the second tongue piece 13 can abut against the vehicle body fitting 20 before the first tongue piece 122, thereby generating an outward pushing force on the first tongue piece 122.

[0057] like Figure 3 As shown, further, the difference between the arc length L1 and the chord length L2 of the abutting portion 132 is set to W, and the displacement of the first tongue piece 122 toward the outside of the glass assembly 10 is set to D, where W=D. In this way, during the installation of the glass assembly 10, as the abutment strength between the abutting portion 132 and the vehicle body matching part 20 increases, the deformation of the abutting portion 132 gradually increases until the glass assembly 10 is installed in place, and the first tongue piece 122 just completes the movement of the designed displacement and is in the theoretical position. At this time, the sharp corner 1221 of the first tongue piece 122 has no curling phenomenon, and at the same time, it just matches the R angle 21 of the vehicle body matching part 20, ensuring the sealing and aesthetics.

[0058] For example, the difference between the arc length and the chord length of the abutting portion 132 is set to W≥1 mm.

[0059] Please continue reading Figure 4 In another embodiment, when the glass assembly 10 is in the installed state, the length of the contact portion between the second tongue piece 13 and the vehicle body matching piece 20 is set to L, and L is ≥ 6 mm. When L is designed to be ≥ 6 mm, it can ensure that the second tongue piece 13 and the vehicle body matching piece 20 have a sufficiently large contact length (that is, a contact area), thereby ensuring that a sufficiently large contact friction force (that is, a driving force) can be generated, thereby improving the reliability and effectiveness of the second tongue piece 13 pushing the first tongue piece 122.

[0060] Furthermore, on the basis of any of the above embodiments, the second tongue piece 13 includes a contact surface for abutting against the vehicle body matching component 20 , and a surface treatment layer is provided on the contact surface.

[0061] For example, the surface treatment layer may be, but is not limited to, leather graining, sandblasting, etc., which can improve the contact force between the second tongue piece 13 and the vehicle body matching part 20 and optimize the overall structural performance.

[0062] In addition to the above, the present application further provides a vehicle, which includes a vehicle body and a glass assembly 10 as described in any of the above embodiments, wherein the glass assembly 10 is mounted on the vehicle body.

[0063] Before the glass assembly 10 is installed on the vehicle body, the glass assembly 10 and the vehicle body matching part 20 are assembled. When the glass assembly 10 and the vehicle body matching part 20 are assembled, the glass assembly 10 is pressed against the vehicle body matching part 20, and the second tongue piece 13 contacts the vehicle body matching part 20 before the first tongue piece 122. The vehicle body matching part 20 abuts against the second tongue piece 13 and thus supports the second tongue piece 13, so that the second tongue piece 13 can generate a thrust toward the outside of the glass assembly 10 on the first tongue piece 12 ... A tongue piece 122 is away from the R angle 21 of the body matching part 20, so as to prevent the first tongue piece 122 from being interfered by the R angle 21 of the body matching part 20 and curling toward the inner side of the glass assembly 10; in this way, not only the curling problem of the first tongue piece 122 can be well solved, but also the need for manual correction of the curling after installation is avoided, which causes the problems of difficult adjustment operation, time-consuming and labor-intensive, thereby ensuring one-time installation without curling, and improving the installation quality and production efficiency of the glass assembly 10.

[0064] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0065] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent application shall be subject to the attached claims.
