DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0047] In order to make the above objectives, features and advantages of the application more apparent, specific embodiments of the application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, a large number of specific details are set forth in order to fully understand the application. However, the application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without departing from the spirit of the application, so the application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0048] It should be noted that the corner window glass assembly herein can be a front door corner window glass assembly or a rear door corner window glass assembly, which is not limited herein. The embodiments and the accompanying drawings will be specifically described below with the front door corner window glass assembly as a specific example, but are not limited thereto.

[0049] The profile shape of the glass in the corner window glass assembly is generally triangular or irregular shape similar to a triangle. The outer peripheral profile of the glass comprises a vertical surface, a transition surface, an inclined surface and a bottom edge connected in sequence. The vertical surface is arranged at an angle with the inclined surface, and the vertical surface transitions to the inclined surface through the transition surface, and the shape of the transition surface is arranged, for example, as an arc or other irregular shape. The vertical surface is arranged at an angle with the bottom edge, and the angle between the vertical surface and the bottom edge includes but is not limited to 60° to 150°, for example, 60°, 75°, 80°, 90°, 100°, 115°, 120°, 130° or 150°, and the like. The outer peripheral profile of the glass is also formed by grinding wheel polishing to form an edge, especially to form, for example, an arc at the critical position of the outer peripheral profile of the glass relative to the two side surfaces of the glass through polishing, so as to prevent hand injury defects.

[0050] With the gradual improvement of people's requirements for product appearance, more and more corner window glass products have no edge design on the vertical surface. Since there is no edge on the vertical surface, when the first sealing strip is overlapped and matched, it can prevent the existence of three colors between the glass and the first sealing strip due to the existence of the edge, that is, to make the product appearance more simple and beautiful. In the related art, since the inclined surface is provided with a lip, the sealant cannot be applied on the inclined surface. Therefore, in order to ensure the continuity of the seal, a process flash is generally left at the top end of the vertical surface, that is, at one end of the vertical surface close to the transition surface, for mold sealing.

[0051] However, as described in the background, in the corner window glass assembly in the prior art, when the first sealing strip is overlapped with the vertical surface of the glass, a gap is formed between the first sealing strip and the vertical surface of the glass, which makes the product not beautiful, and there is a problem of water leakage and poor sealing. The inventors have found that the reason for this problem is that the length of the process flash in the extension direction of the vertical surface is at least 5 mm. In addition, the theoretical thickness of the process flash is 0.1 mm, but during the injection molding process, the glass will be displaced under the action of mold flow pressure, and the actual thickness is 0.5 mm to 0.8 mm, which causes the edge at the top end of the vertical surface to be unable to be flush with the vertical surface. In this way, after being installed, when the first sealing strip is overlapped with the process flash, a gap is formed between the first sealing strip and other parts of the vertical surface, which makes the product not beautiful, and there is a problem of water leakage and poor sealing.

[0052] Based on the above reasons, the present application provides a glass edge assembly and a manufacturing method thereof, a side window assembly and a vehicle, which can reduce the gap when the first sealing strip is overlapped and improve the sealing performance.

[0053] Reference Figure 1 With Figure 2In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a side window assembly includes a glass edge covering assembly 10, a vehicle body panel 30, and a first sealing strip 20. The glass edge covering assembly 10 is mounted on the vehicle body panel 30, and the edge covering 12 abuts against the vehicle body panel 30. The first abutting portion 1211 and the second abutting portion 1111 both abut against the overlapping portion 21 of the first sealing strip 20.

[0054] The glass edge covering assembly 10 includes the glass 11 and the edge covering 12.

[0055] Referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The outer periphery of the glass 11 includes a vertical surface 111, a transition surface 112, and an inclined surface 113 connected in sequence. Optionally, the outer periphery of the glass 11 further includes a bottom edge 114. The bottom edge 114 is connected between the vertical surface 111 and the inclined surface 113.

[0056] The edge covering 12 is arranged along the transition surface 112 and the inclined surface 113. The edge covering 12 is provided with a first abutting portion 1211 for abutting against the overlapping portion 21 of the first sealing strip 20. The first abutting portion 1211 is arranged along the extension direction of the vertical surface 111. The vertical surface 111 is provided with a second abutting portion 1111 for overlapping with the overlapping portion 21. The first abutting portion 1211 and the second abutting portion 1111 are flush with each other and connected to each other along the extension direction of the vertical surface 111. The second abutting portion 1111 is not covered by the edge covering 12 near one end of the transition surface 112. The extension direction of the vertical surface 111 is indicated by an arrow Y in Figure 5 .

[0057] Optionally, the cross-sectional profile of the first abutting portion 1211 and the second abutting portion 1111 along the extension direction Y is completely consistent. For example, the cross-sectional profile of the first abutting portion 1211 and the second abutting portion 1111 along the extension direction Y is arc-shaped, trapezoidal, or other irregular shapes.

[0058] Specifically, when the cross-sectional profile of the first abutting portion 1211 and the second abutting portion 1111 along the extension direction Y is arc-shaped, the arc angles of the two are the same, for example, 180°, 120°, 90°, 60°, 45°, or 30°.

[0059] Of course, as some optional solutions, the cross-sectional profile of the first abutting portion 12 along the extension direction Y and the cross-sectional profile of the second abutting portion 1111 along the extension direction Y can also be partially the same. Among them, the part of the cross-sectional profile of the first abutting portion 12 along the extension direction Y and the cross-sectional profile of the second abutting portion 1111 along the extension direction Y is the same as the lap joint of the lap portion 21, so as to realize seamless lap joint with the lap portion 21, and further the sealing between the lap portion 21 and the vertical surface 111 is better. Among the remaining parts of the cross-sectional profile of the first abutting portion 12 along the extension direction Y and the cross-sectional profile of the second abutting portion 1111 along the extension direction Y, either can lap joint with the lap portion 21, or can not lap joint with the lap portion 21, that is, avoid the lap portion 21, and the lap portion 21 will not interfere with each other. As an example, when the cross-sectional profile of the first abutting portion 1211 along the extension direction Y and the cross-sectional profile of the second abutting portion 1111 along the extension direction Y are both arc-shaped, for example, the arc angle can be 180°, 120°, 90°, 60°, 45° or 30°, etc., but the arc angles of the two are different. Among them, the arc angle of the cross-sectional profile of the first abutting portion 1211 along the extension direction Y can be greater than the arc angle of the cross-sectional profile of the second abutting portion 1111 along the extension direction Y, of course, it can also be less than the arc angle of the cross-sectional profile of the second abutting portion 1111 along the extension direction Y.

[0060] Optionally, the glass edging assembly 10 further comprises a guide rail 13. The glass 11 is connected with the guide rail 13. Specifically, the glass 11 is connected with the guide rail 13 through the edging 12, and the edging 12 is integrally injection molded between the glass 11 and the guide rail 13. Of course, as some optional solutions, the guide rail 13 can also be connected and fixed to the glass 11 by, for example, bonding or using fasteners such as pins, rivets, screws, etc.

[0061] The guide rail 13 is used to install the first sealing strip 20. The first sealing strip 20 includes but is not limited to being connected and fixed to the guide rail 13 by bonding, clamping or using fasteners such as pins, rivets, screws, etc.

[0062] The glass wrapping assembly 10 and the side window assembly described above, on the one hand, the wrapping 12 is integrally injection molded on the glass 11, and is arranged along the transition surface 112 and the inclined surface 113, so as to be stably connected to the glass 11, and plays a sealing role when abutting against the vehicle body sheet metal 30; on the other hand, the wrapping 12 is provided with a first abutting portion 1211 for abutting and cooperating with the overlapping portion 21 of the first sealing strip 20, and the first abutting portion 1211 is arranged along the extension direction of the vertical surface 111; the vertical surface 111 is provided with a second abutting portion 1111 for overlapping and cooperating with the overlapping portion 21; the first abutting portion 1211 and the second abutting portion 1111 are flush and connected to each other along the extension direction of the vertical surface 111, and the end of the second abutting portion 1111 close to the transition surface 112 is not covered by the wrapping 12, so that the first abutting portion 1211 and the second abutting portion 1111 are flush and directly abut and cooperate with the overlapping portion 21 of the first sealing strip 20, so that the gap between the second abutting portion 1111 and the overlapping portion 21 is small, and seamless overlapping can be realized, and the sealing performance between the overlapping portion 21 and the vertical surface 111 is better.

[0063] It should be noted that the glass 11 in the embodiment can be a single glass or a multi-layer glass, for example, a laminated glass, and the specific arrangement is not limited herein and can be selected according to actual needs.

[0064] It should be noted that the overlapping portion 21 can be completely adapted to the shape of the side of the first wrapping portion 121 facing the first sealing strip 20 and the vertical surface 111. In other words, the overlapping portion 21 can overlap the entire area of the side of the first wrapping portion 121 facing the first sealing strip 20; for example, the overlapping portion 21 extends from the outer edge of the vertical surface 111 to the inner edge of the vertical surface 111. In this way, the stability is better and the sealing performance is higher.

[0065] For example, the wrapping 12 includes a first wrapping portion 121. The first wrapping portion 121 is connected with the transition surface 112. The first wrapping portion 121 is provided with a first side surface 1210. The first abutting portion 1211 is arranged on the first side surface 1210, and the cross-sectional profile of the first side surface 1210 along the extension direction Y is completely the same as the cross-sectional profile of the vertical surface 111 along the extension direction Y. In this way, not only the appearance quality of the product can be improved, but also the sealing performance can be improved because one side of the first wrapping portion 121 and the vertical surface 111 are sealed and abut with the first sealing strip 20.

[0066] Of course, as some optional solutions, the cross-sectional profile of the first side surface 1210 along the extension direction Y is partially the same as the cross-sectional profile of the vertical surface 111 along the extension direction Y.

[0067] The overlapping portion 21 can only be mutually adapted and mutually overlapped with the outer side of the first side surface 1210 and the outer side of the vertical surface 111, that is, the overlapping portion 21 can be overlapped with the outer side of the first side surface 1210 and the outer side of the vertical surface 111. In other words, the first cladding portion 121 and the vertical surface 111 are each overlapped with the overlapping portion 21 through a local portion, which can ensure the appearance and sealing performance. In this case, the first cladding portion 121 faces the remaining portion of the side surface of the first sealing strip 20, for example, the inner side of the first side surface 1210, which can not be overlapped with the overlapping portion 21, and thus the overlapping portion 21 does not need to be adapted to the shape of the inner side of the first side surface 1210, which can be flexibly adjusted and set according to actual needs, which is not limited herein.

[0068] Similarly, the inner side of the vertical surface 111 can not be overlapped with the overlapping portion 21, and thus does not need to be adapted to the shape of the overlapping portion 21, and the specific shape can be flexibly adjusted and set according to actual needs, as long as the outer side of the vertical surface 111 is overlapped with the overlapping portion 21.

[0069] It should be noted that the outer side of the first side surface 1210 is the portion close to the external environment of the vehicle, and the inner side of the first side surface 1210 is the portion close to the internal environment of the vehicle. Similarly, the outer side of the vertical surface 111 refers to the portion close to the external environment of the vehicle, and the inner side of the vertical surface 111 refers to the portion close to the internal environment of the vehicle.

[0070] On the basis of any one of the foregoing embodiments, the outer periphery contour of the glass 11 is provided with a ground edge. The ground edge along the cross-sectional contour in the circumferential direction of the glass 11 includes but is not limited to an arc shape, a trapezoidal shape, or other regular shapes and irregular shapes. The ground edges of the first side surface 1210 and the vertical surface 111 are arranged in abutment and flush with each other in the extension direction Y of the vertical surface 111.

[0071] Further, the overlapping portion 21 is overlapped with one side of the first cladding portion 121 and the ground edge of the vertical surface 111, and the overlapping portion 21 is arranged flush with the outer side of the glass 11. In other words, the overlapping portion 21 does not protrude from the outer side of the glass 11. In this way, the outer surface of the quarter window glass 11 assembly product is arranged as a plane, and the product quality meets the requirements.

[0072] Please refer to Figure 4 For example, the edge cover 12 further includes a second cladding portion 122 connected with the first cladding portion 121. The second cladding portion 122 is connected with the inclined surface 113.

[0073] Please refer to Figure 4For example, the edge 12 can also be arranged along the bottom edge 114, so as to be firmly arranged on the glass 11 and improve the mounting stability between the guide rail 13 and the glass 11. Specifically, the edge 12 further comprises a third covering part 123 connected with the second covering part 122, and the third covering part 123 is connected with the bottom edge 114 to protect the bottom edge 114 of the glass 11.

[0074] For example, the edge 12 can also be arranged along the bottom edge 114, so as to be firmly arranged on the glass 11 and improve the mounting stability between the guide rail 13 and the glass 11. Specifically, the edge 12 further comprises a third covering part 123 connected with the second covering part 122, and the third covering part 123 is connected with the bottom edge 114 to protect the bottom edge 114 of the glass 11. Figure 4

[0075] For example, the edge 12 can also be arranged along the bottom edge 114, so as to be firmly arranged on the glass 11 and improve the mounting stability between the guide rail 13 and the glass 11. Specifically, the edge 12 further comprises a third covering part 123 connected with the second covering part 122, and the third covering part 123 is connected with the bottom edge 114 to protect the bottom edge 114 of the glass 11. Figure 3 Figure 5 For example, the edge 12 can also be arranged along the bottom edge 114, so as to be firmly arranged on the glass 11 and improve the mounting stability between the guide rail 13 and the glass 11. Specifically, the edge 12 further comprises a third covering part 123 connected with the second covering part 122, and the third covering part 123 is connected with the bottom edge 114 to protect the bottom edge 114 of the glass 11.

[0076] It should be noted that the outer side of the glass 11 refers to the side of the glass 11 facing the external environment of the vehicle, and conversely, the inner side of the glass 11 refers to the side of the glass 11 facing the internal environment of the vehicle.

[0077] For example, the edge 12 can also be arranged along the bottom edge 114, so as to be firmly arranged on the glass 11 and improve the mounting stability between the guide rail 13 and the glass 11. Specifically, the edge 12 further comprises a third covering part 123 connected with the second covering part 122, and the third covering part 123 is connected with the bottom edge 114 to protect the bottom edge 114 of the glass 11. Figure 4 Figures 6 to 11 In one embodiment, the edge 12 is provided with a first positioning hole 1221 at the part covering the inclined surface 113. In other words, the first positioning hole 1221 is arranged on the second covering part 122.

[0078] In the process of injection molding the edge 12 on the glass 11, the first positioning member 50 can be used to position the inclined surface 113, so that the top end of the vertical surface 111 abuts against the molding mold, thereby effectively preventing the flow of the edge 12 to the vertical surface 111. The cavity wall of the molding mold comprises a first matching part, which is adapted to the shape of the top end of the vertical surface 111 and abuts against each other, and the length of mutual abutment is, for example, at least 5 mm, which is beneficial to the connection and flush arrangement of the first abutment part 1211 and the second abutment part 1111 after the injection molding of the edge 12. In addition, after the mold is opened, the first positioning member 50 is withdrawn from the edge 12, and the first positioning hole 1221 is formed on the edge 12, which is adapted to the shape of the first positioning member 50.

[0079] ​​​For example, the distance between the first positioning hole 1221 and one end of the inclined surface 113 close to the transition surface 112 is less than the distance between the first positioning hole 1221 and the other end of the inclined surface 113. The one end of the inclined surface 113 close to the transition surface 112 is the top end of the inclined surface 113, and the other end of the inclined surface 113 is the bottom end of the inclined surface 113. The positioning point of the first positioning member 50 on the inclined surface 113 is closer to the top end of the inclined surface 113 than to the bottom end of the inclined surface 113. In this way, in the process of injection molding the edge cover 12 on the glass 11, the first positioning member 50 can help the top end of the vertical surface 111 of the glass 11 to stably abut the forming mold, thereby ensuring the forming quality of the edge cover 12.

[0080] Optionally, since the inclined surface 113 is provided with a glue inlet at the middle position along the longitudinal direction thereof, in order to avoid the glue inlet, the first positioning member 50 can avoid the middle position of the inclined surface 113 along the longitudinal direction thereof.

[0081] Optionally, the cross-sectional profile of the first positioning hole 1221 along the extension direction thereof includes but is not limited to a square, a trapezoidal, a circular or other shapes, which can be flexibly adjusted and set according to actual needs, and is not limited herein. Preferably, the cross-sectional profile of the first positioning hole 1221 is set to be square. In this way, the stress can be more uniform, thereby facilitating to improve the sealing performance. Further, the side length of the first positioning hole 1221 includes but is not limited to 0.5mm to 3mm, and is specifically for example 0.5mm, 0.8mm, 1mm, 1.2mm, 2mm or 3mm, etc. On the one hand, the size of the first positioning hole 1221 is small, and the first positioning member 50 is more easily separated from the edge cover 12 during demolding; on the other hand, the size of the first positioning hole 1221 is not too small, and the stability of the first positioning member 50 when abutting and positioning on the inclined surface 113 is higher.

[0082] Optionally, the wall thickness d of the top wall 12211 of the first positioning hole 1221 includes but is not limited to 0.8mm≤d≤1.2mm, and is specifically for example 0.8mm, 1mm or 1.2mm, etc. In this way, the wall thickness of the top wall 12211 of the first positioning hole 1221 is large, so that the structural strength of the wall thickness of the top wall 12211 of the first positioning hole 1221 is large, thereby preventing the second covering part 122 from collapsing due to stress at the first positioning hole 1221.

[0083] In order to ensure the sealing performance, the edge 12 further comprises a plurality of sealing portions, each of which is in abutting contact with a different part of the body panel 30 to achieve multiple sealing. Optionally, each of the sealing portions is a continuous structure in the longitudinal direction of the edge 12. The longitudinal direction refers to the direction in which one end of the edge 12 extends to the other end. In this way, the sealing portion will not form a gap completely disconnected in the thickness direction due to the first positioning hole 1221, so that the sealing between the sealing portion and the body panel 30 is continuous in the length direction, which has good sealing performance.

[0084] Optionally, the number of sealing portions is not limited and can be one, two, three, four or more. In the present example, please refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 , the sealing portion is, for example, three, and the three sealing portions are, for example, the first sealing portion 125, the second sealing portion 126 and the third sealing portion 127. The first sealing portion 125, the second sealing portion 126 and the third sealing portion 127 are arranged in sequence in the direction from the outer side of the glass 11 to the inner side. Specifically, the first sealing portion 125, for example, constitutes the bottom wall 12212 of the first positioning hole 1221, and the thickness of each position of the bottom wall 12212 remains the same. As shown in Figure 7 , the thickness Z2 of the middle part of the bottom wall 12212 is the same as the thickness Z1 and Z3 of the two end parts of the bottom wall 12212. The bottom wall 12212 protrudes towards the inside part in the thickness direction of the glass 11, and the opposite two end parts of the bottom wall 12212 are inclined relative to the middle part of the bottom wall 12212. In this way, when lapping on the body panel 30, the inconsistent lapping strength can cause gaps during installation, thereby improving the sealing performance and effectively preventing water leakage defects.

[0085] Further, the thickness of the bottom wall 12212 is specifically the same as the thickness of the other sealing portions, for example.

[0086] Please refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 , the body panel 30 is provided with a second sealing strip 40. The second sealing strip 40 is fixed to the body panel 30 by clamping, bonding or using fasteners such as screws, pins and the like. The second sealing strip 40 is in abutting contact with the outer side of the second covering portion 122, the first sealing portion 125 is in abutting contact with the second sealing strip 40, and the second sealing portion 126 and the third sealing portion 127 are in abutting contact with the body panel 30.

[0087] In another embodiment, the edge 12 does not need to be provided with the first positioning hole 1221 in the above embodiment. Optionally, please refer to Figure 14 and Figure 15The cladding 12 arranged on the inclined surface 113 is provided with an insert 128. The insert 128 is in abutment with the inclined surface 113, and the insert 128 is connected with the glass 11 through the cladding 12. In this way, in the process of injection molding the cladding 12 on the glass 11, the inclined surface 113 can be positioned by the second positioning member 60 acting on the insert 128, so that the vertical surface 111 of the glass 11 is in abutment with the first mold, thereby effectively preventing the flow of the cladding 12 material to the vertical surface 111. After the mold is opened, the insert 128 is integrally injection molded with the glass 11 through the cladding 12, and the first positioning hole 1221 is no longer formed on the cladding 12, thereby forming stable support when abutting against the vehicle body panel 30, preventing the second cladding part 122 from collapsing at the first positioning hole 1221, and having high sealing performance. In addition, compared with the form of arranging the first positioning hole 1221, the cladding 12 provided with the insert 128 is more complete, and the appearance quality of the product is higher.

[0088] In the related art glass and cladding injection molding process, in order to simplify the molding mold, and considering that it is not convenient to arrange the positioning member on the sealing part on the inclined surface, only the positioning member is arranged on the bottom edge and the vertical surface to position the glass, and the inclined surface is not provided with the positioning member. At the same time, the molding mold needs to be in abutment with the vertical surface for positioning, and the cross-sectional profile shape of the vertical surface along the extension direction thereof is a non-planar surface. In order to avoid interference with the installation action of the glass in the vertical direction, the abutment part of the molding mold and the vertical surface is arranged as a planar surface. However, when the glass slightly deviates due to the mold flow pressure in the injection molding process, the thickness of the process flash solidified and formed at the top end of the vertical surface will be larger, thereby reducing the sealing performance after being installed on the vehicle.

[0089] Please refer to Figures 12 to 15 Therefore, the present application also provides a manufacturing method of the glass cladding assembly 10 of any one of the above embodiments, and the manufacturing method comprises the following steps:

[0090] Step S10, placing the glass 11 in the molding mold;

[0091] Step S20, abutting and positioning the inclined surface 113 of the glass 11 through the first positioning member 50, abutting and positioning the bottom edge 114 of the glass 11 through the second positioning member 60, and abutting and positioning the vertical surface 111 of the glass 11 through the third positioning member 70. The cavity wall of the molding mold comprises a first matching part which is matched with and in abutment with the top end shape of the second abutment part 1111.

[0092] Step S30, injecting the cladding 12 material into the molding mold;

[0093] Optionally, the cladding 12 material includes but is not limited to a PU (polyurethane) material, a PP material, a PVC material, a TPE material, or an ABS material.

[0094] Step S40, after the edge covering 12 material is cured and formed, the mold is removed.

[0095] Wherein, when the first positioning member 50 is separated from the edge covering 12, the edge covering 12 is formed with a first positioning hole 1221 corresponding to the first positioning member 50. When the second positioning member 60 is separated from the edge covering 12, the edge covering 12 is formed with a second positioning hole 1231 corresponding to the second positioning member 60. The third positioning member 70 is not connected with the edge covering 12, that is, does not participate in injection molding, and only plays a positioning role on the vertical surface 111.

[0096] The manufacturing method of the glass edge covering assembly 10 described above, since the first positioning member 50 and the inclined surface 113 of the glass 11 abut and position during the injection molding process, the second positioning member 60 and the bottom edge 114 of the glass 11 abut and position, and the third positioning member 70 and the vertical surface 111 of the glass 11 abut and position, thereby preventing the glass 11 from being displaced under the action of the mold flow pressure. At the same time, since the cavity wall of the forming mold includes a matching portion that matches and abuts with the top end of the second abutment portion 1111, it is possible to prevent the formation of a process burr on the top end of the second abutment portion 1111, and to achieve that the first abutment portion 1211 and the second abutment portion 1111 are flush and connected with each other.

[0097] For example, the first matching portion matches and abuts with the top end of the vertical surface 111. In this way, the positioning stability of the glass 11 can be improved, and the top end of the vertical surface 111 is free of process burrs in all parts, and the product appearance quality is high.

[0098] For example, the cavity wall further includes a second matching portion connected with the first matching portion. The second matching portion forms a space with the edge contour of the glass 11. The edge covering 12 material can be injected into the space through the injection port, and the edge covering 12 is obtained after curing and forming. The shape of the edge covering 12 obtained after curing and forming depends on the shape of the second matching portion. Therefore, by adjusting and setting the shape of the second matching portion, the shape of the edge covering 12 can be correspondingly adjusted.

[0099] The cross-sectional contour of the vertical surface 111 along its longitudinal direction includes various shapes such as arc, trapezoidal, W-shaped or S-shaped. The cross-sectional contour shape of the first matching portion is consistent with that of the vertical surface 111. That is, the vertical surface 111 and the second matching portion are both non-planar. Furthermore, the manufacturing method in the embodiment further includes: after the glass 11 is placed in the forming mold, the glass 11 is pushed so that the top end of the second abutment portion 1111 abuts with the first matching portion.

[0100] In some embodiments, the second positioning member 60 is in abutting contact with the bottom edge 114, for example, in a fixed manner. The first positioning member 50 can push the inclined surface 113 to move the glass 11 towards the first fitting part, so as to abut the top end of the second abutting part 1111 with the first fitting part. When the top end of the second abutting part 1111 is in abutting contact with the first fitting part, the first positioning member 50 is in abutting contact with the inclined surface 113, the second positioning member 60 is in abutting contact with the bottom edge 114, and the third positioning member 70 is in abutting contact with the vertical surface 111.

[0101] Referring to Figure 12 and Figure 13 , in order to push the inclined surface 113, the first positioning member 50 can optionally comprise a first driving mechanism (not shown in the figure). The first driving mechanism can include, but is not limited to, a pneumatic cylinder, a motorized screw, a hydraulic cylinder, and other power mechanisms. When the first driving mechanism moves, it can push the glass 11 to move towards the first fitting part. The first positioning member 50 further comprises a positioning column connected to the first driving mechanism. The first driving mechanism drives the positioning column to move, and the positioning column correspondingly drives the glass 11 to move. After the glass 11 is in abutting contact with the first fitting part, the positioning column is in abutting contact with the inclined surface 113. Since the diameter of the positioning column is relatively small, it can easily separate from the rim 12 after the rim 12 is integrally injection molded with the glass 11.

[0102] Optionally, the step of placing the glass 11 in the molding mold further comprises providing an insert 128, and placing the insert 128 in the molding mold, wherein the insert 128 is in abutting contact with the inclined surface 113. Specifically, the first positioning member 50 can achieve the positioning of the inclined surface 113 by abutting with the insert 128. In this way, the first positioning member 50 and the inclined surface 113 do not need to be in direct abutting contact, but are in indirect abutting contact. In this case, the first positioning member 50 can be more easily separated from the glass 11 and the rim 12 during the demolding step. Further, the first positioning member 50 can only comprise the first driving mechanism, i.e., the positioning column in the above embodiment is omitted. In this way, the first driving mechanism is in direct abutting contact with the insert 128, which is more stable.

[0103] Referring to Figure 14 and Figure 15 In some embodiments, the first positioning member 50 can also be in abutting contact with the inclined surface 113 in a fixed manner. When the first positioning member 50 is in abutting contact with the inclined surface 113, the second positioning member 60 can push the bottom edge 114, for example. Since the first positioning member 50 is in abutting contact with the inclined surface 113 and is guided along the length direction of the inclined surface 113, it can guide the glass 11 along the direction of the inclined surface 113. When the second positioning member 60 pushes the bottom edge 114, the glass 11 moves towards the first fitting part, so as to abut the top end of the second abutting part 1111 with the first fitting part.

[0104] To push the slope 113, similarly, the second positioning member 60 comprises a second driving mechanism (not shown in the figure). The second driving mechanism comprises but is not limited to various forms of power mechanisms such as air cylinders, motor lead screws, hydraulic cylinders, etc. When the second driving mechanism moves, under the guidance of the slope 113, the glass 11 can be pushed to move, so that the top end of the second abutting portion 1111 abuts against the first matching portion.

[0105] For example, the number of the first positioning member 50 comprises but is not limited to one, two or other numbers. In the embodiment, the first positioning member 50 is provided as one to achieve the positioning function. Optionally, the ratio of the distance between the positioning point of the first positioning member 50 and the top end of the slope 113 to the length of the slope 113 is 1 / 3 to 1 / 2.

[0106] For example, the number of the second positioning member 60 comprises but is not limited to one, two or other numbers. In the embodiment, the first positioning member 50 is provided as one to achieve the positioning function. Optionally, the ratio of the distance between the positioning point of the second positioning member 60 and the end of the bottom edge 114 close to the slope 113 to the length of the bottom edge 114 is, for example, 0.2 to 0.3.

[0107] For example, the number of the third positioning member 70 comprises but is not limited to one, two, three or other numbers. In the embodiment, the third positioning member 70 is provided as two, wherein the ratio of the distance between the positioning point of one of the third positioning members 70 and the bottom end of the vertical surface 111 to the length of the vertical surface 111 is, for example, 0.2 to 0.3, and the ratio of the distance between the positioning point of the other third positioning member 70 and the top end of the vertical surface 111 to the length of the vertical surface 111 is, for example, 0.2 to 0.3.

[0108] The positioning point of the first positioning member 50 is located between the positioning points of the two third positioning members 70, so that the force is balanced and the positioning effect is stable and reliable.

[0109] In one embodiment, the length of the part where the first matching portion abuts against the top end of the second abutting portion 1111 in the extension direction of the vertical surface 111 is ≥5mm. In this way, the length of the part where the first matching portion abuts against the top end of the second abutting portion 1111 is large, which can ensure that the edge covering material is sealed.

[0110] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 In yet another embodiment, the application also provides a vehicle, which comprises but is not limited to a car, a bus, a passenger car, a trolleybus, an airplane, a train, etc. The vehicle comprises the glass edge covering assembly 10 of any of the above embodiments.

[0111] The vehicle has the following advantages: on one hand, the edge 12 is integrally injection molded on the glass 11 and arranged along the transition surface 112 and the inclined surface 113, thereby being firmly connected to the glass 11 and playing a sealing role when abutting against the body panel 30; on the other hand, the edge 12 is provided with a first abutting portion 1211 for abutting against the overlapping portion 21 of the first sealing strip 20, the first abutting portion 1211 is arranged along the extending direction of the vertical surface 111; the vertical surface 111 is provided with a second abutting portion 1111 for overlapping with the overlapping portion 21; the first abutting portion 1211 and the second abutting portion 1111 are flush and connected to each other, and the end of the second abutting portion 1111 close to the transition surface 112 is not covered by the edge 12, that is, the first abutting portion 1211 and the second abutting portion 1111 are flush and abut against the overlapping portion 21 of the first sealing strip 20, so that the gap between the second abutting portion 1111 and the overlapping portion 21 is small, seamless overlapping is achieved, and the sealing performance between the overlapping portion 21 and the vertical surface 111 is good.
