Glass assembly and vehicle

Abstract

This application relates to a glass assembly and a vehicle, including an edge protector for mounting on the glass; and a guide rail, one end of which is connected and fixed to the edge protector. The guide rail includes a first guide rail component and a second guide rail component, which are stacked along a first direction of the glass assembly. The side of the second guide rail component away from the first guide rail component is designated as the appearance surface, which is formed as a high-gloss surface or a textured surface. Plastic components are easier to use to achieve special three-dimensional appearance and structural designs, while reducing the manufacturing cost and weight of the glass assembly, thus achieving lightweighting. Metal components, on the other hand, are easier to use to achieve a high-gloss appearance, while improving the structural strength of the glass assembly. Furthermore, they eliminate the need for painting, reducing process steps and increasing yield.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of automotive glass, and in particular to a glass assembly and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, flush frameless doors are increasingly used in automobiles, greatly enhancing their aesthetics and competitiveness while improving the user experience. To reduce the impact of non-glass materials (such as edging materials and metal materials) on the visual experience between the door glass, door triangle, and rear structure, L-shaped guide rail structures are widely adopted in flush frameless doors. This also places new demands on the styling of the door triangle and door glass, namely, integrating the L-shaped guide rail with the door triangle edging to achieve a flush, high-gloss black appearance.

[0003] In traditional technology, L-shaped guide rails are typically made of aluminum or plastic. However, while aluminum guide rails can achieve a high-gloss finish, they cannot create textured or three-dimensional designs. Plastic guide rails, on the other hand, offer significant advantages in terms of cost, appearance, and weight, but they usually cannot achieve a high-gloss finish. Furthermore, using a painting process to achieve a high-gloss finish results in cumbersome procedures and low yield rates. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a glass assembly, a glass assembly, and a vehicle to address the problem of not being able to simultaneously achieve a high-gloss appearance, low cost and weight, and a simple appearance design.

[0006] Glass;

[0007] Edge binding, the edge binding being installed on the glass; and

[0008] The guide rail has one end connected and fixed to the edge. The guide rail includes a first guide rail component and a second guide rail component. The first guide rail component and the second guide rail component are stacked along a first direction of the glass assembly. The side of the second guide rail component away from the first guide rail component is set as the appearance surface. The appearance surface is formed as a high-gloss surface or a textured surface.

[0009] In this glass assembly, the guide rail is integrated with the glass via an edge banding. The guide rail is designed to consist of a first guide rail component and a second guide rail component stacked along a first direction of the glass assembly. This allows the side of the second guide rail component facing away from the first guide rail component to form an appearance surface, which is designed to be high-gloss or textured. This allows the glass assembly to meet the product requirements for a high-gloss appearance or a textured three-dimensional appearance. At the same time, it reduces the manufacturing cost and weight of the glass assembly, achieving lightweighting, eliminating the need for painting, reducing process steps, and increasing the yield.

[0061] 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.

[0062] In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" appear, these terms indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0063] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0064] 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.

[0065] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the use of descriptions such as "above" or "below" the second feature indicates that the first and second features are in direct contact or indirect contact via an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. Similarly, "below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0066] 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.

[0067] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present application illustrates a glass assembly 100, which includes an edge 20 and a guide rail 30.

[0068] The edging 20 is used to install on the glass 10. For example, the edging 20 is integrally injection molded and connected to the outer periphery of the glass 10, serving to install, position, and protect the glass 10.

[0069] For example, the material of the edging 20 can be any one of TPE, PVC, etc.

[0070] Please continue reading. Figure 3 and Figure 4 One end of the guide rail 30 is connected and fixed to the edge banding 20. The connection and fixing method can be, but is not limited to, injection molding or adhesive bonding, etc., and can be flexibly selected according to actual needs.

[0071] The guide rail 30 includes a first guide rail component 31 and a second guide rail component 32. The first guide rail component 31 and the second guide rail component 32 are stacked along a first direction of the glass assembly 100. The side of the second guide rail component 32 away from the first guide rail component 31 is designated as the appearance surface, which is formed as a high-gloss surface 321 or a textured surface.

[0072] Please continue reading. Figure 3 The first direction specifically refers to the thickness direction of the glass assembly 100, that is... Figure 3 The arrow S1 in the diagram points to...

[0073] When the glass assembly 100 is in the installation and use state, the second guide rail 32 is arranged facing outwards from the vehicle compared to the first guide rail 31. Therefore, the appearance surface formed on the second guide rail 32 is also arranged facing outwards from the vehicle, and can be easily observed directly by the user.

[0074] In one embodiment, the first guide rail 31 is made of metal or plastic, and the second guide rail 32 is made of plastic.

[0075] For example, when using plastic parts, at least one of PA, PC, or other plastics can be used. When using metal parts, any one of aluminum, aluminum alloy, copper alloy, or other metals can be used.

[0076] In this application, the guide rail 30 and the glass 10 are integrally injection molded together via the edge banding 20. This reduces the processing and molding difficulty of the glass assembly 100 while ensuring the structural strength and mechanical properties of the glass 10, edge banding 20, and guide rail 30 after integral molding.

[0077] In summary, implementing the technical solution of this embodiment will achieve the following beneficial effects: In the glass assembly 100 of this solution, the guide rail 30 is assembled with the glass 10 as a whole through the edging 20. The guide rail 30 is designed to be composed of a first guide rail component 31 and a second guide rail component 32 stacked along the first direction of the glass assembly 100, so that the side of the second guide rail component 32 facing away from the first guide rail component 31 can form an appearance surface. The appearance surface is designed as a high-gloss surface 321 or a textured surface, so that the glass assembly 100 meets the product requirements of a high-gloss appearance or a textured three-dimensional appearance. In addition, the first guide rail component 31 and the second guide rail component 32 can be made of metal or plastic according to actual needs, and the second guide rail component 32 can be made of plastic. Plastic components are easier to achieve special three-dimensional appearance structure designs, while reducing the manufacturing cost and weight of the glass assembly 100 and achieving lightweighting. Metal components are easier to achieve a high-gloss appearance, while improving the structural strength of the glass assembly 100. At the same time, no painting treatment is required, reducing process steps and improving the yield.

[0078] Therefore, in order to facilitate the processing of the first guide rail 31 and the second guide rail 32 into an integral structure of the guide rail 30, in one embodiment, the first guide rail 31 and the second guide rail 32 are integrally injection molded.

[0079] Specifically, during production, there are at least two processing techniques: First, the already formed first guide rail component 31 is placed into the mold, and then a fluid injection molding material is injected into the mold. After the injection molding material is cooled and solidified, a second guide rail component 32 is obtained that is integrally connected with the first guide rail component 31; Second, injection molding material is injected into the mold twice in succession to form an integrally connected first guide rail component 31 and second guide rail component 32.

[0080] Please continue reading. Figure 3 and Figure 4 Depending on actual needs, the end of the second guide rail 32 near the glass 10 can be connected to the edge banding 20, or the end of the second guide rail 32 near the glass 10 can be connected to both the edge banding 20 and the glass 10.

[0081] When the first guide rail 31 and the second guide rail 32 are injection molded, the connection and fixation between them rely solely on the adhesive force of the materials themselves, which may result in insufficient connection force. To address this, in an optional embodiment, the first guide rail 31 is provided with a first snap-fit ​​portion, and the second guide rail 32 is provided with a second snap-fit ​​portion, with the first snap-fit ​​portion and the second snap-fit ​​portion engaging and fixing each other.

[0082] That is, by means of the physical clamping force formed by the interlocking of the first and second locking parts, the connection strength and reliability of the first guide rail 31 and the second guide rail 32 can be significantly enhanced, avoiding the problem of the two separating.

[0083] Please continue reading. Figure 5 and Figure 13 For example, based on the above embodiment, one of the first and second latching parts is designated as a latching position 311, and the other of the first and second latching parts is designated as a latching hook 322, which is latched and fixed to the latching position 311. Therefore, the latching structure of the latching hook 322 and the latching position 311 is simple and helps to reduce manufacturing difficulty.

[0084] For example, the locking position 311 can be any of the following forms: through hole, notch, channel, etc. During injection molding, the molten injection plastic flows into the cavity formed by the through hole, notch, or channel, and after cooling and solidification, it forms the locking hook 322, which is simple to manufacture.

[0085] Furthermore, based on the above embodiment, the first guide rail 31 is provided with a first snap-fit ​​portion at both ends of the glass assembly 100 along the second direction, and the second guide rail 32 is provided with a second snap-fit ​​portion at both ends of the glass assembly 100 along the second direction, with the first snap-fit ​​portion and the second snap-fit ​​portion snap-fitting in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0086] Please continue reading. Figure 1 and Figure 3 The second direction specifically refers to the width direction of the glass assembly 100, that is... Figure 1 and Figure 3 Arrow S2 points to this. By having the first guide rail 31 and the second guide rail 32 locked together on both sides of the width direction, the connection strength between the first guide rail 31 and the second guide rail 32 can be further improved, thereby increasing the reliability and lifespan of the guide rail 30.

[0087] In this application, there can be various types and combinations of materials used to manufacture the first guide rail 31 and the second guide rail 32.

[0088] Please continue reading. Figures 5 to 7 For example, in an optional embodiment, the first guide rail 31 is made of PA+GF material, and the thickness of the first guide rail 31 is 1.5mm~4.0mm; specifically, it can be 1.5mm, 1.8mm, 2.5mm, 3.0mm, 3.5mm, etc. The second guide rail 32 is made of PA material, and the thickness of the second guide rail 32 is 1.0mm~4.0mm, specifically, it can be 1.0mm, 1.4mm, 1.8mm, 2.5mm, 3.4mm, etc.

[0089] PA plastic, or polyamide (PA for short), commonly known as nylon, is a thermoplastic resin containing repeating amide groups (-NHCO-). GF plastic is a glass fiber reinforced plastic composite material. The main components of GF plastic include glass fiber and resin. Glass fiber has excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, while resin plays a role in bonding and curing, giving GF plastic high strength and toughness. GF ​​plastic not only has the lightweight characteristics of plastics but also the high strength characteristics of metals, making it an ideal structural material. Therefore, the second guide rail component 32 combines the advantages of good formability and high structural strength, serving as the skeleton of the guide rail 30. The second guide rail component 32 is made of PA material, which facilitates the molding of a high-gloss appearance surface, meeting the high-gloss appearance requirements of the product.

[0090] Based on the above embodiments, by limiting the size of the hook 322 and the slot 311, or by designing and manufacturing hooks 322 and slots 311 with different shapes and structures, the needs of different product models can be met.

[0091] Please continue reading. Figures 5 to 7 For example, in one embodiment, the first guide rail component 31 is provided with a locking position 311, and the second guide rail component 32 includes a guide rail body 323 and a hook 322 connected to each other. The hook 322 includes a main body portion 322a and a hook portion 322b connected to each other. The length of the main body portion 322a (i.e., the dimension along the direction of arrow S3) is set as a, the sum of the thickness of the main body portion 322a and the length of the hook portion 322b (i.e., the dimension along the direction of arrow S4) is set as b, the thickness of the main body portion 322a (i.e., the dimension along the direction of arrow S4) is set as c, the distance between the hook portion 322b and the guide rail body 323 (i.e., the dimension along the direction of arrow S3) is set as d, and the length of the hook portion 322b (i.e., the dimension along the direction of arrow S4) is set as e.

[0092] The engagement width between the hook 322 and the locking position 311 is 1.0mm~30.0mm; 1.0mm≤a≤8.0mm; 1.5mm≤b≤8.0mm; 0.5mm≤c≤8.0mm; 0.5mm≤d≤8.0mm; 0.5mm≤e≤8.0mm.

Figures 8 to 10 In another embodiment, the first guide rail component 31 is provided with a locking position 311, and the second guide rail component 32 includes a guide rail body 323 and a hook 322 connected to each other. The hook 322 includes a main body portion 322a and a hook portion 322b connected to each other. The length of the hook portion 322b is set as a, the thickness of the hook portion 322b is set as b, the thickness of the main body portion 322a is set as c, the length of the main body portion 322a is set as d, and the distance between the hook portion 322b and the guide rail body 323 is set as e.

[0094] Among them, 0.5mm≤a≤8.0mm; 0.5mm≤b≤10.0mm; 0.5mm≤c≤5.0mm; 1.0mm≤d≤8.0mm; 0.5mm≤e≤8.0mm.

[0095] Please continue reading. Figures 11 to 13 Alternatively, in another embodiment, the first guide rail component 31 is provided with a locking position 311, and the second guide rail component 32 includes a guide rail body 323 and a hook 322 connected together. The hook 322 includes a main body portion 322a and a hook portion 322b connected together. The thickness of the hook portion 322b (i.e., the dimension along the direction of arrow S5) is set as a, the distance between the hook portion 322b and the guide rail body 323 is set as b, the sum of the thickness of the main body portion 322a and the length of the hook portion 322b (i.e., the dimension along the direction of arrow S6) is set as c, and the length of the hook portion 322b (i.e., the dimension along the direction of arrow S6) is set as d.

[0096] Wherein, 0.5mm≤a≤8.0mm; 0.5mm≤b≤8.0mm; 0.5mm≤c≤8.0mm; 0.5mm≤d≤8.0mm.

[0097] Specifically, the possible values ​​for 'a' are 0.5mm, 1.5mm, 2.5mm, 3.0mm, 3.5mm, 6.0mm, 7.0mm, 8.0mm, etc.

[0098] The selectable values ​​for b are 0.5mm, 1.0mm, 1.5mm, 3.0mm, 3.5mm, 6.0mm, 7.0mm, 8.0mm, etc.

[0099] The selectable values ​​for c are 0.5mm, 1.0mm, 1.5mm, 3.0mm, 3.5mm, 5.0mm, etc.

[0100] The selectable values ​​for 'd' are 1.5mm, 2.5mm, 3.0mm, 3.5mm, 6.0mm, 7.0mm, 8.0mm, etc.

[0101] The selectable values ​​for e are 1.5mm, 2.8mm, 3.2mm, 3.8mm, 6.5mm, 7.2mm, 8.0mm, etc.

[0102] Please continue reading. Figures 1 to 2 Furthermore, considering that the glass assembly 100 has a large length, this results in a large area where the first guide rail 31 and the second guide rail 32 are joined. To avoid local delamination and separation that could affect the structural strength and reliability of the guide rail 30, in any of the above embodiments, the hook 322 and the locking position 311 cooperate to form a locking structure, and multiple locking structures are provided. At least one locking structure is provided at least one end of the third direction of the glass assembly 100. The glass assembly 100 has a first side 110 and a second side 120, which are spaced apart and opposite to each other along the second direction of the glass assembly 100. At least two locking structures are provided on the first side 110 and arranged side by side at intervals along the third direction, and at least two locking structures are provided on the second side 120 and arranged side by side at intervals along the third direction. The locking structures on the first side 110 and the locking structures on the second side 120 are staggered along the third direction.

At this time, snap-fit ​​structures are set at both ends of the length direction and both sides of the width direction of the glass assembly 100, which enables the first guide rail 31 and the second guide rail 32 to be physically connected along the entire circumference of the glass assembly 100 through multiple snap-fit ​​structures, thereby ensuring higher connection strength.

[0104] By adopting the snap-fit ​​structures on the first side 110 and the second side 120, which are staggered along the length of the glass assembly 100, the reliable and effective connection between the first guide rail 31 and the second guide rail 32 can be met with a reasonable arrangement of as few snap-fit ​​structures as possible, thereby reducing manufacturing difficulty and cost.

[0105] In another embodiment of this application, the first guide rail 31 and the second guide rail 32 may also be made of other types of materials. Specifically, the first guide rail 31 is made of PC+ABS+GF material, and the thickness of the first guide rail 31 is 2.0mm~4.0mm; for example, 2.0mm, 2.4mm, 2.8mm, 3.5mm, etc. The second guide rail 32 is made of PMMA or PMMA+ASA material, and the thickness of the second guide rail 32 is 1.5mm~3.5mm, for example, 1.5mm, 1.8mm, 2.5mm.

[0106] The first guide rail component 31 is manufactured using a combination of PC, ABS, and GF materials, which gives it sufficiently high strength. The second guide rail component 32 is manufactured using PMMA or a combination of PMMA and ASA materials, which gives it excellent adhesion, ensuring the quality and strength of the guide rail 30, which is injection molded integrally with the first guide rail component 31.

[0107] PC plastic (polycarbonate) is an amorphous, odorless, non-toxic, highly transparent, colorless or slightly yellow thermoplastic engineering plastic. The chemical structure of PC plastic is synthesized from bisphenol A and diphenyl carbonate through transesterification or melt polycondensation, resulting in excellent physical and chemical properties.

[0108] ABS plastic is a thermoplastic engineering plastic, its full name is acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer, abbreviated as ABS.

[0109] PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) is a high-molecular polymer, commonly known as plexiglass 10 or acrylic. PMMA boasts high transparency, with a light transmittance of up to 92%, making it one of the best transparent polymer materials currently available. Its density is relatively low, approximately 1.15-1.19 g / cm³, only about half the density of ordinary plexiglass 10. PMMA has high mechanical strength, with tensile and impact resistance 7-18 times stronger than ordinary plexiglass 10. Its melting point is also lower, approximately 1000 degrees Celsius lower than that of plexiglass 10.

[0110] ASA plastic is an engineering plastic copolymerized from styrene, acrylonitrile, and acrylate rubber compounds. The chemical composition of ASA plastic includes styrene, acrylonitrile, and acrylate rubber compounds, which, through a copolymerization reaction, form a material with strong weather resistance. It possesses excellent weather resistance and mechanical properties.

[0112] The first guide rail component 31, manufactured using a material combination of PA+GF / PC+ABS+GF / carbon fiber, possesses sufficient reliable strength while also being lightweight. The second guide rail component 32 is injection molded with PU and in-mold painted, which not only facilitates the achievement of a high-gloss appearance and various color differences, but also allows for the creation of various three-dimensional patterns or textures in terms of appearance. Furthermore, the PU material used also has a self-healing function against scratches.

[0113] Optionally, the thickness of the second guide rail is 0.3mm to 1.5mm, such as 0.3mm, 0.5mm, 0.8mm, etc.

[0114] In other alternative embodiments, the first guide rail 31 may have a three-dimensional texture, and the second guide rail 32 may be made of transparent PU material. This achieves a three-dimensional textured appearance on the guide rail 30.

[0115] Alternatively, the first guide rail component 31 can be injection molded, while the second guide rail component 32 can be made of colored PU material. This allows the guide rail 30 to achieve different color appearances. For example, the PU material can be black, blue, purple, white, etc.

[0116] Furthermore, the first guide rail component 31 is provided with sealing rib structures 312 at both ends along the second direction of the glass assembly 100, and the sealing rib structures 312 are matched with the ends of the second guide rail component 32 for limiting. The sealing rib structures 312 can block and limit the flow of PU injection plastic used to mold the second guide rail component 32 during injection molding, so as to ensure the molding quality and shape and size accuracy of the second guide rail component 32.

[0117] PU material is a polymer compound, its full name is polyurethane, abbreviated as polyurethane. PU material possesses excellent mechanical properties and plasticity. It is formed through the condensation reaction of polyols and polyisocyanates, and features characteristics such as resistance to bending, softness, high tensile strength, and good breathability.

[0118] For example, in this embodiment, the sealing rib structure 312 is a triangular rib structure with an isosceles triangle cross section.

[0119] In another embodiment, the first guide rail 31 is made of PA+GF / PC+ABS+GF material, and the thickness of the first guide rail 31 is 2.0mm~4.0mm, such as 2.0mm, 3.0mm, 4.0mm, etc. The second guide rail 32 is made of plastic diaphragm, and the thickness of the plastic diaphragm is 0.3mm~1mm, such as 0.3mm, 0.5mm, 0.7mm, etc.

[0120] The first guide rail component 31, molded from a PA+GF / PC+ABS+GF composite material, possesses advantages such as high strength, lightweight, and stable physical and chemical properties, ensuring the quality and reliability of the guide rail 30. A plastic diaphragm is obtained by contour punching based on the shape of the guide rail 30, and then placed into the injection mold via post-positioning to injection mold with the first guide rail component 31. The plastic diaphragm can easily achieve various appearances, such as, but not limited to, partial transparency, high-gloss black, various colors, and different three-dimensional shapes.

[0121] In addition to the above, this application also provides a vehicle, which can be any type of automobile on the market, without specific limitations. The vehicle includes a body and a glass assembly 100, the glass assembly 100 being mounted on the body.
