[0060] The glass edging assembly, information collection mechanism and vehicle according to the embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0061] Figure 1 A schematic cross-sectional view of a glass edging assembly provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 2 A schematic structural diagram of a glass edging assembly provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the information collection component in the information collection mechanism provided in an embodiment of the present application in the extended and retracted states; Figure 4 A schematic structural diagram of a movable component in a glass edging assembly provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 5 This is a schematic structural diagram of the cooperation between the moving component and the driving component in the glass edging assembly provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0062] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3The glass edging assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application includes: glass 53, edging 51 and an information collection mechanism 100.

[0063] The edging 51 is connected to the glass 53. The information collection mechanism 100 includes a fixed base 10, a movable assembly 20, and an information collection assembly 40. The fixed base 10 is connected to the edging 51, the information collection assembly 40 is connected to the movable assembly 20, and the movable assembly 20 is movably connected to the fixed base 10 and is configured to drive the information collection assembly 40 to move relative to the fixed base 10.

[0064] The glass edging assembly includes an information collection mechanism 100 comprising a fixed base 10, a movable assembly 20, and an information collection assembly 40. The fixed base 10 is connected to the edging 51, and the information collection assembly 40 is connected to the movable assembly 20. The movable assembly 20 is movably connected to the fixed base 10 and configured to move the information collection assembly 40 relative to the fixed base 10. Because the fixed base 10 is connected to the edging 51, when the movable assembly 20 moves the information collection assembly 40 relative to the fixed base 10, it effectively moves the information collection assembly 40 relative to the edging 51, i.e., the vehicle body. When the information collection assembly 40 is needed, the movable assembly 20 can move it to a position where it can collect information, providing the information collection assembly 40 with a good field of view. When the information collection assembly 40 is not needed, the mobile assembly 20 can be used to move the information collection assembly 40 to a position closer to the vehicle. Compared to the aforementioned position where information collection is possible, this position is closer to the vehicle, making it less susceptible to external impacts and damage. Furthermore, when the information collection assembly 40 is located closer to the vehicle, both aesthetics and compactness are maintained.

[0065] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the fixed base 10 of the information collection mechanism 100 is connected to the edging 51, and the information collection component 40 can be used to collect information on road conditions and other conditions around the vehicle. Therefore, by setting up the information collection mechanism 100 and integrating the information collection mechanism 100 into the edging 51, the information collection component 40 can replace the rearview mirror in the traditional way.

[0066] The information collection component 40 may be, for example, a camera, a radar, a sensor, or other components for collecting information. In the embodiment of the present application, the information collection component 40 is described as a camera.

[0067] At least part of the structure of the fixing base 10 can be located on the side facing the interior of the vehicle relative to the edging 51. This arrangement can prevent the fixing base 10 from being exposed to the outside of the vehicle and affecting the appearance of the vehicle.

[0068] In the embodiment of the present application, it can be understood that the moving component 20 can move relative to the fixed base 10, for example, the moving component 20 can slide along a preset direction Y relative to the fixed base 10.

[0069] In the embodiment of the present application, the edge 51 has a first side C1 and a second side C2 oppositely disposed along the thickness direction of the corresponding glass 53. Generally, the first side C1 refers to the side facing the outside of the vehicle, and the second side C2 refers to the side facing the inside of the vehicle.

[0070] The information collection component 40 has a first state and a second state, and the moving component 20 is used to drive the information collection component 40 to switch between the first state and the second state. Figure 3 The information collection component 40 is in the second state (as shown in the lower figure), the edge of the information collection component 40 facing the first side C1 is flush with the edge of the edge 51 facing the first side C1. Figure 3 In the state of the upper figure on the middle figure), the edge of the information acquisition component 40 facing the first side C1 protrudes from the edge of the edge 51 facing the first side C1. Here, the edge of the information acquisition component 40 facing the first side C1 protrudes from the edge of the edge 51 facing the first side C1, which specifically means that the edge of the information acquisition component 40 facing the first side C1 is closer to the first side C1 than the edge of the edge 51 facing the first side C1. Figure 3 As shown in the upper state of the middle figure, the information collection end of the information collection component 40 reaches a position where it can collect information.

[0071] In the present application, continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The edge 51 has a notch A. The moving assembly 20 can drive the information collecting assembly 40 to move through the notch A toward the second side C2 to the first state, or can drive the information collecting assembly 40 to move through the notch A toward the first side C1 to the second state.

[0072] Thus, by providing the movable assembly 20, the information collection assembly 40 can be moved through the aperture A toward the first side C1 to the second state, i.e., the information collection state, providing the information collection assembly 40 with a good field of view. When the information collection assembly 40 is not needed, the movable assembly 20 can also move the information collection assembly 40 through the aperture A toward the second side C2, placing the information collection assembly 40 in the first state, i.e., the stowed state. In this state, the information collection assembly 40 is at least partially stowed inside the vehicle through the aperture A, shielding it from external impacts and effectively protecting it from damage. Furthermore, in the first state, the information collection assembly 40 is at least partially stowed inside the vehicle, which also ensures a balanced aesthetic and compact structure.

[0073] In addition, in some other embodiments, the gap A can also be opened on the body sheet metal or other positions of the body. In the embodiment of the present application, the gap A is set on the edging 51 at the bottom of the glass edging assembly 50 of the front door as an example for explanation. The opening position of the gap A is similar to other situations and will not be repeated here.

[0074] In the embodiment of the present application, the moving assembly 20 is slidably connected to the fixed base 10 along a predetermined direction Y, and the angle between the predetermined direction Y and the thickness direction of the glass 53 is less than 90 degrees. For example, the predetermined direction Y can be along the thickness direction of the glass 53.

[0075] Reference Figure 1 The glass hemming assembly 50 further includes a drive assembly 30 connected to the fixed base 10. The drive assembly 30 is configured to drive the movable assembly 20 to reciprocate along a preset direction Y relative to the fixed base 10, thereby driving the information collection assembly 40 to switch between a first state and a second state. Specifically, the drive assembly 30 drives the movable assembly 20 to reciprocate along the preset direction Y relative to the fixed base 10. The preset direction Y forms an angle less than 90 degrees with the thickness of the glass 53. When the movable assembly 20 reciprocates along the preset direction Y with the information collection assembly 40, it can drive the information collection assembly 40 toward the first side C1 or toward the second side C2.

[0076] In the present application, continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The fixed base 10 is located on the second side C2 of the edge 51. A sliding cavity 11 is formed within the fixed base 10. An opening 15 is also provided on the outer surface of the fixed base 10, communicating with the sliding cavity 11. The opening 15 is arranged opposite the notch A. The moving assembly 20 is guided by the inner wall of the sliding cavity 11 and can enter and exit the notch A through the opening 15 when moving relative to the sliding cavity 11.

[0077] With this arrangement, the sliding cavity 11 forms a passageway for the reciprocating movement of the movable assembly 20. The inner walls of the sliding cavity 11 guide the movement of the movable assembly 20, ensuring reliable movement and preventing the information collection assembly 40 from shaking during movement. The drive assembly 30 drives the movable assembly 20 toward the first side C1, allowing the information collection assembly 40 to extend outward from the vehicle through the opening 15 and the gap A. The drive assembly 30 then drives the movable assembly 20 toward the second side C2, allowing the information collection assembly 40 to move through the gap A and the opening 15 to the first state, i.e., toward the vehicle interior.

[0078] It is understandable that the opening 15 of the sliding cavity 11 can match the size and contour of the notch A of the vehicle and be arranged opposite each other so that the edge of the opening 15 and the edge of the notch A can fit in correspondence to prevent foreign debris from entering the vehicle interior. Figure 3 In the example shown, the left side of the moving assembly 20 is the edge 51, and the component on the right side of the moving assembly 20 is omitted and not shown. This location may be the edge 51 or a decorative strip. The structures on the left and right sides of the moving assembly 20, the vehicle body, the glass 53, etc., together define the gap A.

[0079] In addition, combined Figure 2 and Figure 3 The end of the sliding cavity 11 away from the opening 15 can also be provided with another process opening 12 to facilitate the injection molding of the entire fixed base 10. Of course, the outer contour size of the process opening 12 needs to be smaller than the outer contour size of the moving component 20 to prevent the moving component 20 from falling out.

[0080] Furthermore, a mounting opening 13 may be provided on the side wall of the sliding cavity 11 close to the vehicle body to facilitate installation of the moving assembly 20 into the sliding cavity 11 .

[0081] In this embodiment of the present application, the fixed base 10 can be integrally formed with the edging 51 or secured to the edging 51 via fasteners. In this case, the fixed base 10 is provided with a mounting base 14 connected to the second side C2 of the edging 51. In other words, the fixed base 10 is secured by locking the mounting base 14 with the edging 51. The fixed base 10 can be made of metal or plastic. In a specific implementation, the mounting base 14 can be mounted on the surface of the second side C2 or embedded within the edging 51.

[0082] In the embodiment of this application, Figure 1 and Figure 4 The moving assembly 20 includes a first carrier 21 and a second carrier 22 that are spaced apart along a preset direction Y and connected to each other.

[0083] A guide bar 23 is provided on at least one of the first carrier 21 and the second carrier 22. A guide groove (not shown) extending along a preset direction Y is provided on the inner wall of the sliding cavity 11 at a position corresponding to the guide bar 23. The guide bar 23 is inserted into the corresponding guide groove and can slide along the guide groove.

[0084] The guide bar 23 can slide relative to the guide groove along the preset direction Y. This arrangement can achieve a guiding fit between the moving assembly 20 and the sliding cavity 11, so that the moving assembly 20 does not wobble when sliding along the preset direction Y. In addition, the first carrier 21 and the second carrier 22 can be made of metal or plastic.

[0085] Further, combined with Figure 3 The surface of the first carrier 21 facing away from the second carrier 22 is flush with the surface of the first side C1 of the edge 51. This makes the exterior of the vehicle more beautiful.

[0086] In the present application, refer to Figure 3 The top edge of the first carrier 21 facing away from the second carrier 22 is provided with an extension 213, which is positioned to block the edge of the opening 15 of the fixed base 10. This arrangement prevents the first carrier 21 from fully entering the fixed base 10, thereby preventing the outer surface of the first carrier 21 from being recessed relative to the outer surface of the edging 51. In addition, the top surface of the first carrier 21 facing away from the second carrier 22 adopts a curved surface design consistent with the outer surface of the edging 51, ensuring that it is flush with the surface of the edging 51 in the first state. The surface tolerance between the two is controlled within ±1.5 mm to avoid visual abruptness.

[0087] Furthermore, the first carrier 21 can be made of materials such as lightweight aluminum alloy or high-strength engineering plastics to ensure strength while reducing weight. The first carrier 21 is hollow inside, and its cross-section can be rectangular, circular, or other shapes. A rectangular cross-section facilitates installation and fixing of internal structural components, while a circular cross-section provides more uniform force distribution.

[0088] In the embodiment of this application, Figure 4 and Figure 5 The moving assembly 20 also includes a driven rod 24, one end of which is rotatably connected to the first carrier 21 around a first axis, and the other end of which is rotatably connected to the second carrier 22 around the first axis, wherein the first axis is parallel to the preset direction Y.

[0089] The drive assembly 30 includes a drive source 31 connected to the outside of the fixed base 10. A drive rod 32 of the drive source 31 partially extends into the sliding cavity 11 and engages with the driven rod 24. The driven rod 24 is driven by the drive rod 32 to rotate, thereby driving the first carrier 21 to reciprocate along a predetermined direction Y relative to the fixed base 10.

[0090] For example, the driving source 31 of the driving assembly 30 may be located below the driven rod 24 , thereby saving space occupied by the information collection mechanism 100 in the preset direction Y. The driving rod 32 may be substantially perpendicular to the driven rod 24 .

[0091] In some embodiments, the drive source 31 may include a housing 34 and a motor, a gear set, a self-locking mechanism, a sensor such as an encoder and related circuits arranged in the housing 34. The output of the motor is decelerated by the gear set and then output to the drive rod 32. The motor is used to be electrically connected to an external controller such as an ECU to start and stop after receiving control instructions from the external controller. The sensor is used to detect parameters such as the rotational stroke of the motor. The self-locking mechanism is used to automatically lock the position of the moving component 20 through the motor after power is cut off. In addition, a power plug slot 341 is provided on the housing 34, and the drive source 31 is electrically connected to the external ECU through the power plug slot 341. The housing 34 can be fixed to the fixed base 10 by fasteners such as screws.

[0092] In the embodiment of the present application, gear teeth 321 are provided on the outer periphery of a portion of the driving rod 32 , and the driven rod 24 is provided with external teeth 241 that mesh with the gear teeth 321 .

[0093] In a specific implementation, a worm gear or a gear can be provided on part of the driving rod 32, and the driven rod 24 can be a worm gear or a rack gear, etc. In this way, the rotational driving force around the axial direction of the driving rod 32 can be converted into a driving force for the driven rod 24 to move along the preset direction Y.

[0094] In the present application, continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The two ends of the driving rod 32 pass through the two opposite walls of the sliding cavity 11 and are rotatably connected to the two opposite walls through the first bearings 33 respectively.

[0095] In some embodiments, one end of the driven rod 24 is rotatably supported on the first carrier 21 via a second bearing 332 , and the other end of the driven rod 24 is rotatably supported on the second carrier 22 via another second bearing 332 .

[0096] In this configuration, the driving rod 32 is rotatably connected to the fixed base 10 via the two first bearings 33 , and the driven rod 24 is also rotatably connected to the first carrier 21 and the second carrier 22 via the two first bearings 33 .

[0097] It should be noted that when the first carrier 21, the second carrier 22, and the driven rod 24 move as a whole along the preset direction Y, the relative positions of the three remain unchanged along the preset direction Y. In other words, the driven rod 24 can only rotate relative to the first carrier 21 and the second carrier 22, but cannot move relative to the first carrier 21 and the second carrier 22 along the preset direction Y.

[0098] In the present application, refer to Figure 3The first carrier 21 has a receiving cavity formed therein. An information collection port 212 communicating with the receiving cavity is provided on a sidewall 211 of the first carrier 21. The information collection assembly 40 is mounted in the receiving cavity, with the information collection end exposed to the outside of the first carrier 21 through the information collection port 212.

[0099] When the first carrier 21 moves along the preset direction Y, the information collection component 40 is installed on the information collection port 212 of the side wall 211 of the first carrier 21, so that the information collection end of the information collection component 40 is facing the rear of the vehicle body. Specifically, there is no limit on the number of information collection ports 212, and there can be one or more. The information collection port 212 can be set not only on the side wall 211, but also on the upper wall, lower wall, and other locations of the first carrier 21. The outermost lens plane of the information collection component 40 can be flush with the outer surface of the first carrier 21, with a protrusion of ≤3mm.

[0100] Furthermore, an angle adjustment assembly may be provided within the housing cavity of the first carrier 21. This assembly is connected to the information acquisition assembly 40 and adjusts the angle of the information acquisition assembly 40 relative to the first carrier 21, thereby extending the information acquisition range. For example, the angle adjustment assembly enables fine-tuning of the information acquisition assembly 40 within a ±30° pitch angle and a ±25° horizontal angle during operation to achieve an optimal field of view. A shock-absorbing rubber pad (not shown) connects the angle adjustment assembly to the information acquisition assembly 40 to reduce the impact of vehicle vibration on image acquisition by the information acquisition assembly 40 during operation.

[0101] In this embodiment, the telescopic travel of the first carrier 21 in the mobile assembly 20 can be designed based on the distance between the information collection assembly 40 and the outermost contour of the vehicle when extended. For small vehicles such as sedans, compact cars, and mid-size vehicles such as SUVs and MPVs, the distance between the information collection assembly 40 and the outermost contour of the vehicle body should not exceed 250 mm. For large vehicles such as trucks and buses, the distance between the information collection assembly 40 and the outermost contour of the vehicle body should not exceed 300 mm. The telescopic speed can be adjusted within a range of 5-15 mm / s, preferably 10 mm / s.

[0102] In the present application, continue to refer to Figure 4 The second carrier 22 includes a first carrier plate 221 and a second carrier plate 222. The first carrier plate 221 is disposed opposite to the first carrier 21, and the second carrier plate 222 is connected to the side of the first carrier plate 221 facing the first carrier 21. One end of the driven rod 24 is rotatably supported on the first carrier plate 221.

[0103] The dimension of the second carrier 22 perpendicular to the preset direction Y can be the same as the dimension of the sliding cavity 11 along the same direction to prevent the second carrier 22 from shaking during movement. In addition, the first carrier plate 221 and the second carrier plate 222 can be arranged perpendicular to each other.

[0104] In the embodiment of the present application, the information collection assembly 40 can be extended or retracted according to different operating conditions. This not only provides a stable and reliable installation environment for the information collection assembly 40, ensuring its normal operation under different operating conditions and a good field of view, but also allows the information collection assembly 40 to be properly folded away when not in use, taking into account aesthetics. This has the advantages of simple structure, high reliability, and space saving.

[0105] The following combination Figure 1 and Figure 3 The working process of the glass edging assembly 50 according to the embodiment of the present application is described.

[0106] When the vehicle starts and meets the preset operating conditions of the information collection assembly 40, such as when the vehicle speed is below a set value and the driver manually activates the information collection assembly 40 function, or when the vehicle is in a specific driving mode, such as reverse or low-speed driving, the vehicle's electronic control unit (ECU) issues a forward rotation control command to the drive source 31, controlling the motor's rotation, which in turn drives the drive rod 32, thereby driving the first and second carriers 21 and 22 in a preset direction Y toward the vehicle's exterior. During this process, an encoder monitors the motor's rotation in real time and feeds back information such as the motor's rotation angle and speed to the ECU. Based on this feedback information and preset extension length parameters, the ECU precisely controls the motor's speed and rotation time to ensure that the first carrier 21 smoothly extends to the predetermined position. When the first carrier 21 reaches the designated position, the ECU issues a stop signal to the drive source 31, causing the motor to stop. At this point, the information collection assembly 40 enters the second state, beginning to collect image information about the vehicle's surroundings and transmitting the image signal via the data transmission line to the central control display or other relevant onboard display device for display.

[0107] When the vehicle's driving state changes, such as when the vehicle speed exceeds a set value (e.g., 30 km / h) (the specific value can be adjusted based on the vehicle type and actual application scenario), or when the driver disables the monitoring function of the information collection component 40, the vehicle's electronic control unit (ECU) sends a reverse control signal to the drive source 31, causing the motor to reverse and retract the first carrier 21. During the retraction process, the ECU also precisely controls the motor's operation based on the feedback information collected from the encoder, ensuring that the first carrier 21 accurately returns to its initial position and enters the first state. When the first carrier 21 is fully retracted, the motor stops, and the information collection component 40 stops operating and enters a dormant state, saving energy and extending the life of the device. Throughout this operation, the ECU's fault diagnosis function continuously monitors the operating status of the motor, information collection component 40, and related circuits. If an abnormality is detected, appropriate protective measures are immediately implemented, such as powering off or sounding an alarm, and fault information is recorded for subsequent repair and maintenance.

[0108] The installation method of the glass edging assembly 50 in the embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0109] On the automobile production line, after the glass 53 and the edging 51 are accurately installed on the door frame, the edging 51 is firmly fixed to the vehicle body using PU glue or locking metal bolts to ensure the installation is firm and sealed to prevent loosening and leakage.

[0110] Insert the wire plug connected to the vehicle's electronic control unit into the power slot 341 of the driving source 31 for electrical connection, ensuring that the connection line is correct and the contact is good. At the same time, connect the data transmission line and power line of the information acquisition component 40 to ensure stable and normal signal and power transmission.

[0111] The fixing base 10 is fixed to the edge 51 by locking.

[0112] The embodiment of the present application further provides an information collection mechanism 100 , comprising: a fixed base 10 , a moving component 20 , an information collection component 40 and a driving component 30 .

[0113] The mobile assembly 20 is slidably connected to the fixed base 10 along a preset direction Y. The information collection assembly 40 is connected to the mobile assembly 20. The drive assembly 30 is connected to the fixed base 10 and is configured to drive the mobile assembly 20 to cause the information collection assembly 40 to reciprocate along the preset direction Y relative to the fixed base 10.

[0114] Among them, the specific structure and working principle of the information collection mechanism 100, and the fixed base 10, mobile component 20, information collection component 40 and driving component 30 included in the information collection mechanism 100 have been described in detail above and will not be repeated here.

[0116] In addition, a black border 52 is provided on the outer edge of the glass 53. The light transmittance of the black border 52 is ≤5%. With appropriate design of the black border 52, the coverage rate is ≥95%, which can cover the components on the back of the glass 53, thereby achieving the effect of "covering ugliness" and aesthetics.

[0117] In the embodiment of the present application, a avoiding portion is provided on the vehicle body, and the avoiding portion is used to avoid the fixed base 10 of the glass edging assembly 50 .

[0118] In the above embodiment, the avoidance portion may be a notch A provided on the edge 51 .

[0119] Alternatively, the vehicle body may further include sheet metal, decorative panels, etc., and the avoidance structure may be, for example, a notch A or a groove provided on at least one of the sheet metal, decorative panels, etc.
