Side window locking mechanism, side window assembly, and vehicle

Abstract

This application relates to a side window locking mechanism, a side window assembly, and a vehicle. When installed in a vehicle and in use, when the window needs to be opened or closed, the unlocking component first switches the lock block from the locked position to the unlocked position, unlocking the mounting bracket. Then, the position of the mounting bracket can be adjusted by pushing and pulling along the opening / closing direction of the window, allowing the window to open or close. After the window is opened or closed, releasing the unlocking component causes the reset component to switch the lock block from the unlocked position to the locked position, locking the mounting bracket and thus fixing the window's position. Therefore, the overall structure of the side window locking mechanism is simpler than that of a butterfly window latch. Furthermore, by adjusting the length of the mounting bracket along the opening / closing direction of the window, the maximum opening distance of the window can be adjusted, i.e., the maximum opening angle of the window can be adjusted.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to a side window locking mechanism, a side window assembly, and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of vehicle technology, more and more commercial vehicles and multi-purpose passenger vehicles are equipped with operable side windows. Operable side windows are generally used on the rear side windows of vehicles, but can also be used in other locations. Operable side windows typically come in various forms, such as manually sliding windows, negative pressure ventilation windows, and combinations of both. The combination of a negative pressure ventilation window and a manually sliding window allows the side gap between the window and the vehicle body to open during driving, reducing wind resistance and preventing rainwater from entering the vehicle. It also allows the window to be opened manually, increasing the ventilation area and volume. In related technologies, the window latches for operable side windows often use butterfly latches, which open one end of the window glass and push it outwards a certain distance. However, the maximum opening distance of the window glass depends on the size design of the butterfly latch, making it inconvenient to modify or adjust. Summary of the Invention

[0014] In one embodiment, the locking block has two locking plates that are spaced apart from each other along the axial direction of the stop shaft. Each locking plate has two locking recesses and a positioning protrusion located between the two locking recesses. The two locking recesses of one locking plate and the two locking recesses of the other locking plate are aligned one-to-one along the axial direction, and the two positioning protrusions are aligned with each other along the axial direction.

[0016] In one embodiment, the mounting bracket further includes a frame; the frame includes two guide frame sides that are spaced apart from each other, and two stop shafts are sequentially spaced apart along the length direction of the guide frame sides. The two ends of the stop shafts are respectively connected to the two guide frame sides. The locking block is movably disposed between the two stop shafts along the length direction of the guide frame sides, and the two sides of the locking block are respectively slidably engaged with the two guide frame sides.

[0017] In one embodiment, the locking block has a sliding part, and the fixed base has a slide rail, through which the sliding part is slidably fitted inside the fixed base; the reset member is an elastic member, which is disposed inside the slide rail and connected between the sliding part and the fixed base.

[0018] In one embodiment, the fixed base is provided with a limiting member, the sliding part is provided with an oblong hole, the oblong hole passes through the sliding part, the long axis of the oblong hole is parallel to the sliding direction of the sliding part, and the limiting member is slidably inserted into the oblong hole along the sliding direction.

[0019] A side window assembly includes the aforementioned side window locking mechanism and a window glass. The mounting bracket is connected to one end of the window glass, and the other end of the window glass is used for rotatable connection with the vehicle body.

[0037] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0038] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 One embodiment of this application provides a side window assembly 10, which includes a side window locking mechanism 11 and a window glass 12. Specifically, the side window locking mechanism 11 is connected between the window glass 12 and the vehicle body.

[0039] The vehicle body may include interior trim 13, frame or sheet metal, etc.

[0040] Specifically, the side window locking mechanism 11 includes a mounting bracket 111, a fixed base 112, a locking block 113, and an unlocking component 114. The mounting bracket 111 is connected to one end of the window glass 12. The other end of the window glass 12, opposite to the mounting bracket 111, is rotatably connected to the vehicle body. More specifically, the other end of the window glass 12, opposite to the mounting bracket 111, is rotatably connected to the interior trim 13. Alternatively, the other end of the window glass 12, opposite to the mounting bracket 111, can also be rotatably connected to, for example, a frame or sheet metal. Therefore, when a force is applied to the end of the window glass 12 where the mounting bracket 111 is located, the window glass 12 can be opened or closed accordingly.

[0041] For example, one end of the car window glass 12 that is connected to the mounting bracket 111 Figure 1 or Figure 2 On the right end of the middle, the other end of the car window glass 12 is like Figure 1 or Figure 2 The left end of the middle. The opening and closing direction of the car window glass 12 is as follows: Figure 1 or Figure 2 As shown by the double arrow M.

[0042] For example, a handle 14 is provided at one end of the vehicle window glass 12 that is connected to the mounting bracket 111. The handle 14 makes it easy to push and pull the vehicle window glass 12 to open or close the vehicle window glass 12.

[0043] The fixing base 112 is used to connect to the vehicle body, specifically to the interior trim 13, frame, or sheet metal. This embodiment specifically focuses on the connection between the fixing base 112 and the interior trim 13, but is not limited to this. The fixing base 112 is provided with a reset member 1121.

[0044] Please see Figures 7 to 11 The locking block 113 is connected to the fixed base 112 via the reset member 1121. The locking block 113 has an unlocked position and a locked position and can switch between the unlocked and locked positions. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 7 to 9 When the locking block 113 is in the unlocked position, the mounting bracket 111 is unlocked. The mounting bracket 111 can be pushed or pulled along the opening and closing direction of the window glass 12 to open or close the window glass 12; please refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 When the locking block 113 is in the locked position, the locking block 113 can lock the mounting bracket 111, thereby fixing the position of the fixed window glass 12 after it is fully opened or after it is closed.

[0045] The unlocking component 114 is used to connect to the vehicle body, specifically to the interior trim 13, frame, or sheet metal. This embodiment specifically uses the connection of the unlocking component 114 to the interior trim 13 as an example, but it is not limited thereto. The unlocking component 114 is connected to the locking block 113, and the unlocking component 114 is used to switch the locking block 113 from the locked position to the unlocked position, from which... Figure 10 or Figure 5 and Figure 6 Switch to the position shown. Figure 7 or Figure 3 and Figure 4 The position shown; when the unlocking component 114 is released, the reset component 1121 can switch the lock block 113 from the unlocked position to the locked position, as shown. Figure 7 or Figure 3 and Figure 4 Switch to the position shown. Figure 10 or Figure 5 and Figure 6 The location shown.

[0046] The interior trim piece 13 is located on the side of the window glass 12 facing the interior environment of the vehicle body. It can cover and decorate the four edges of the window glass 12, serving both a protective and decorative purpose. In addition, the interior trim piece 13 is set around the four edges of the window glass 12, and the central part of the interior trim piece 13 is hollowed out, so as not to obstruct the view of the window glass 12.

[0047] For example, interior trim 13 can be fixedly connected to the vehicle body or integrally molded.

[0048] It should be noted that the "interior part 13" in this embodiment can be "a part of the vehicle body", that is, the "interior part 13" is integrally molded with "other parts of the vehicle body"; or it can be an independent component that can be separated from "other parts of the vehicle body", that is, the "interior part 13" can be manufactured independently and then combined with "other parts of the vehicle body" to form a whole.

[0049] The aforementioned side window locking mechanism 11, when installed in a vehicle and in use, allows the locking block 113 to switch from the locked position to the unlocked position via the unlocking component 114 when the window glass 12 needs to be opened or closed, thereby unlocking the mounting bracket 111. Then, the position of the mounting bracket 111 can be adjusted by pushing and pulling along the opening / closing direction of the window glass 12, allowing the window glass 12 to open or close. After the window glass 12 is opened or closed, the unlocking component 114 is released, and the reset component 1121 switches the locking block 113 from the unlocked position to the locked position, locking the mounting bracket 111 and thus fixing the position of the window glass 12. Therefore, the overall structure of the side window locking mechanism 11 is simpler than that of a butterfly window latch. Furthermore, by adjusting the length of the mounting bracket 111 along the opening / closing direction of the window glass 12, the maximum opening distance of the window glass 12 can be adjusted, which also allows for adjustment of the maximum opening angle of the window glass 12.

[0050] It is understandable that when it is necessary to increase the maximum opening distance or angle of the window glass 12, the length of the mounting bracket 111 along the opening and closing direction of the window glass 12 is increased accordingly; conversely, when it is necessary to decrease the maximum opening distance or angle of the window glass 12, the length of the mounting bracket 111 along the opening and closing direction of the window glass 12 is decreased accordingly.

[0051] For example, the length of the mounting bracket 111 along the opening and closing direction of the window glass 12 is adjustable. Thus, by adjusting the length of the mounting bracket 111 along the opening and closing direction of the window glass 12, the maximum opening distance or angle of the window glass 12 can be adjusted accordingly.

[0052] Please see Figures 7 to 9For example, the mounting bracket 111 includes a plurality of locking parts 1111 arranged sequentially along the opening and closing direction of the window glass 12. Each locking part 1111 can be locked and engaged with the locking block 113. Thus, when the window glass 12 is rotated to different positions, it can be locked and fixed together with the locking part 1111 at the corresponding position and the locking block 113, thereby achieving the locking and fixing of the window glass 12 when rotated to different positions.

[0053] The locking parts 1111 include, but are not limited to, two, three, four, or more in number, which can be flexibly adjusted and set according to actual needs. In this embodiment, two locking parts 1111 are used as an example, but this is not a limitation. Specifically, the two locking parts 1111 correspond to the closed position and the fully open position of the window glass 12, respectively. Therefore, when the window glass 12 is in the closed position or the fully open position, the corresponding locking parts 1111 and the locking block 113 lock together to fix the position of the window glass 12.

[0054] For example, there are two locking parts 1111, and the distance between the two locking parts 1111 is adjustable. Thus, by adjusting the distance between the two locking parts 1111, the maximum opening distance or angle of the window glass 12 can be adjusted accordingly. Specifically, increasing the distance between the two locking parts 1111 increases the maximum opening distance or angle of the window glass 12; conversely, decreasing the distance between the two locking parts 1111 decreases the maximum opening distance or angle of the window glass 12.

[0055] Optionally, the locking part 1111 may include, but is not limited to, a stop shaft, a stop rod, a stop plate, or a stop block. In order to facilitate locking with the locking block 113 and ensure locking stability, the locking part 1111 in this embodiment is preferably a stop shaft.

[0056] For example, the locking part 1111 is a stop shaft. The locking block 113 has a locking recess 1131 recessed in a direction away from the stop shaft. The locking recess 1131 is locked in place with the stop shaft. Thus, when the locking block 113 is in the locked position, the stop shaft enters the locking recess 1131, and the locking block 113 locks the mounting bracket 111 accordingly; when the unlocking assembly 114 drives the locking block 113 to move in a direction away from the mounting bracket 111 to the unlocked position, the stop shaft disengages from the locking recess 1131 outward, thereby unlocking the mounting bracket 111.

[0057] Optionally, the locking recess 1131 is adapted to the shape of the stop shaft. This results in higher stability of the stop shaft within the locking recess 1131, thereby improving the positional stability of the window glass 12. The axial cross-sectional profile of the stop shaft is circular, and the locking recess 1131 is correspondingly configured as an arc-shaped recess.

[0058] For example, at least two locking recesses 1131 are provided, and a positioning protrusion 1133 is provided between two adjacent locking recesses 1131 arranged in the opening and closing direction. The positioning protrusion 1133 abuts against the stop shaft for positioning. In this way, during the adjustment of the position of the mounting bracket 111, the positioning protrusion 1133 abuts against the stop shaft to achieve mutual alignment between the stop shaft and the locking recesses 1131, so that the stop shaft can be quickly locked and fixed in the locking recesses 1131, and the locking effect between the locking block 113 and the mounting bracket 111 is stable and reliable.

[0059] For example, the locking block 113 has two locking plates 1132 that are spaced apart from each other along the axial direction of the stop shaft. Each locking plate 1132 has two locking recesses 1131 and a positioning protrusion 1133 located between the two locking recesses 1131. The two locking recesses 1131 of one locking plate 1132 are aligned one-to-one with the two locking recesses 1131 of the other locking plate 1132 along the axial direction, and the two positioning protrusions 1133 are aligned with each other along the axial direction. Thus, when the window glass 12 is in the closed position or fully open position, the stop shaft corresponding to the closed position or fully open position is located on one side of the two positioning protrusions 1133 and abuts against the two positioning protrusions 1133 for positioning. The corresponding stop shaft is also simultaneously locked and positioned in the locking recesses 1131 of the two locking plates 1132 that are aligned with each other, thereby making the locking and fixing effect between the locking block 113 and the mounting bracket 111 stable and reliable.

[0060] Based on the aforementioned embodiment, the locking block 113 further includes a linkage shaft 1134. The linkage shaft 1134 is, for example, disposed between two locking plates 1132. The linkage shaft 1134 abuts against the unlocking component 114. During the unlocking process, the unlocking component 114 can push the linkage shaft 1134, which in turn drives the locking block 113 to move, thereby achieving unlocking.

[0061] For example, the locking block 113 has guide portions 1135 on both sides of the opposite side along the opening and closing direction.

[0062] Optionally, the guide portion 1135 may be, but is not limited to, an arc-shaped surface, an inclined surface, or a combination of an arc-shaped surface and an inclined surface. In use, the mounting bracket 111, driven by the window glass 12, is guided by the guide portion 1135, enabling the stop shaft to smoothly enter the locking recess 1131 and be locked and positioned by the locking recess 1131.

[0063] For example, the mounting bracket 111 also includes a frame 1112. The frame 1112 includes two guide frame edges 1113 spaced apart from each other, and two stop shafts spaced apart along the length of the guide frame edges 1113. The two ends of the stop shafts are respectively connected to the two guide frame edges 1113. A locking block 113 is movably disposed between the two stop shafts along the length of the guide frame edges 1113, and the two sides of the locking block 113 are respectively slidably engaged with the two guide frame edges 1113. In this way, on the one hand, under the guiding action of the guide frame edges 1113, the reciprocating motion of the mounting bracket 111 relative to the locking block 113 is stable and reliable; on the other hand, during the movement of the mounting bracket 111 in the opening and closing direction, whether it moves forward to the open position or backward to the closed position, there are corresponding stop shafts and locking blocks 113 for locking and positioning.

[0064] In some embodiments, the locking block 113 is slidably engaged with the fixed base 112. During the process of the unlocking component 114 pushing the locking block 113 toward the fixed base 112, the locking block 113 and the fixed base 112 slide relative to each other, resulting in high stability. Similarly, when the unlocking component 114 is released, the reset component 1121 drives the locking block 113 to move, causing the locking block 113 to slide along the fixed base 112, resulting in high stability.

[0065] For example, the locking block 113 is provided with a sliding part 1136, and the fixed base 112 is provided with a slide rail 1122. The sliding part 1136 is slidably fitted inside the fixed base 112 through the slide rail 1122. The reset member 1121 is an elastic member. The reset member 1121 is disposed inside the slide rail 1122 and connected between the sliding part 1136 and the fixed base 112.

[0066] Optionally, the elastic element may include, but is not limited to, a spring, an elastic block, etc.

[0067] Please see Figure 10 and Figure 11 For example, the fixed base 112 is provided with a limiting member 1123. The sliding part 1136 is provided with an oblong hole 1137, which passes through the sliding part 1136. The long axis of the oblong hole 1137 is parallel to the sliding direction of the sliding part 1136. The limiting member 1123 is slidably inserted into the oblong hole 1137 along the sliding direction. In this way, when the locking block 113 is pushed by the unlocking component 114 or by the force of the resetting component 1121, the limiting member 1123 slides synchronously along the long axis of the oblong hole 1137 and is limited by the oblong hole 1137, thereby improving the stability between the fixed base 112 and the locking block 113.

[0068] Optionally, the limiting element 1123 may include, but is not limited to, a limiting shaft or a limiting rod.

[0069] For example, the limiting member 1123 is detachably mounted on the fixed base 112. The fixed base 112 has a mounting hole 1124, and the limiting member 1123 passes through the mounting hole 1124. One end of the limiting member 1123 has a first limiting portion 1125, which is located outside the fixed base 112 and abuts against the fixed base 112. The first limiting portion 1125 is, for example, an integral structure with the limiting member 1123. The other end of the limiting member 1123 has a detachable second limiting portion 1126, which is located outside the fixed base 112 and abuts against the fixed base 112. Optionally, the second limiting portion 1126 may include, but is not limited to, a retaining spring, a nut, or a pin, etc.

[0070] For example, the unlocking component 114, mounting bracket 111, locking block 113, and fixing base 112 are all located on the outside of the interior trim 13; the interior trim 13 has an operation window 131, and the unlocking component 114 is located at the operation window 131. Thus, the unlocking component 114, mounting bracket 111, locking block 113, and fixing base 112 are hidden behind the interior trim 13 and are not exposed inside the vehicle, improving the product's appearance. Furthermore, since the unlocking component 114 is located at the operation window 131, the unlocking component 114 can be operated through the operation window 131 to perform the unlocking operation.

[0071] In this context, the outer side of the interior component 13 refers to the side of the interior component 13 that faces away from the vehicle's interior environment. The outer side of the interior component 13 refers to the side of the interior component 13 that faces away from the vehicle's interior environment. The inner side of the interior component 13 refers to the side of the interior component 13 that faces the vehicle's interior environment.

[0072] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 For example, the unlocking component 114 includes a mounting housing 1141 connected to the outside of the interior trim 13 and a toggle 1142 rotatably disposed inside the mounting housing 1141. The mounting housing 1141 has an opening communicating with the operation window 131, and the toggle 1142 can rotate to the inside of the interior trim 13 through the opening and the operation window 131. Thus, by manually toggling the toggle 1142 through the operation window 131, the toggle 1142 rotates, one end of the toggle 1142 is driven by a finger to pass through the opening and the operation window 131 into the inside of the interior trim 13, and the other end of the toggle 1142 rotates and acts on the linkage shaft 1134 to drive the lock block 113 to move and achieve unlocking.

[0073] For example, the mounting housing 1141 includes a base plate and two connecting plates spaced apart from each other on the base plate. An actuating element 1142 is rotatably connected to the two connecting plates via a rotating shaft 1143. Both connecting plates are fixedly connected to the outer side of the interior trim 13.

[0074] For example, when the lock block 113 is in the locked position, the toggle member 1142 is flush with the inner side of the interior trim 13 on the side facing the vehicle interior environment.

[0075] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 Based on the aforementioned embodiment, the outer periphery of the toggle member 1142 is adapted to the shape of the operation window 131, and a gap space 1144 is provided between the end of the toggle member 1142 away from the unlocking component 114 and the operation window 131. In this way, a finger can be inserted into the gap space 1144 to act on the end of the toggle member 1142 away from the unlocking component 114, which facilitates the rotation of the toggle member 1142 to perform the unlocking operation.

[0076] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, this application also provides a vehicle including the side window assembly 10 of any of the above embodiments, and a vehicle body, wherein the side window assembly 10 is mounted on the vehicle body.

[0077] In the aforementioned vehicle, when it is necessary to open or close the window glass 12, the unlocking component 114 first switches the locking block 113 from the locked position to the unlocked position, thereby unlocking the mounting bracket 111. Then, the position of the mounting bracket 111 can be adjusted by pushing and pulling along the opening and closing direction of the window glass 12. When the mounting bracket 111 is in motion, the window glass 12 can be opened or closed. After the window glass 12 is opened or closed, the unlocking component 114 is released, and the reset component 1121 switches the locking block 113 from the unlocked position to the locked position. The locking block 113 can then lock the mounting bracket 111, thereby fixing the position of the window glass 12. Therefore, the overall structure of the side window locking mechanism 11 is simpler than that of a butterfly window latch. Furthermore, by adjusting the length of the mounting bracket 111 along the opening and closing direction of the window glass 12, the maximum opening distance of the window glass 12 can be adjusted, which means the maximum opening angle of the window glass 12 can also be adjusted.

[0078] In this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, the term "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0079] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0080] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. If so, 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 possible implementation.

[0081] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above 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.

[0082] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
