Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of guide rail technology, specifically to guide components, window assemblies, and carriers. Background Technology

[0002] The glass of vehicles and other vehicles needs to be movable through guide assemblies. The guide assembly mainly consists of sliders and guide rails, with the guide rails connected to the vehicle body to provide a path for movement. The sliders slide in conjunction with the guide rails and connect to the glass, driving it to complete lifting or lateral movement.

[0003] In existing technologies, the slider and guide rail are in direct sliding contact, which is prone to wear on the contact surface due to continuous friction over long-term use. This increases operating resistance, affects the smoothness of movement, and may even cause abnormal noises, functional failures, shorten component lifespan, and increase maintenance costs. Related technologies reduce wear by placing mutually repelling magnets between the slider and guide rail, making the slider magnetically levitated.

[0004] However, the slider relies solely on magnetic repulsion to maintain its position, resulting in poor stability. For example, it is prone to fluctuations or wobbling when the vehicle is bumpy or turning. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a guide component, a window assembly, and a carrier to solve or improve the problem of poor stability of sliders in related technologies.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a guiding component, comprising:

[0007] The first mating component has a groove, and the inner wall of the groove is provided with a first magnet;

[0008] The second mating component is movably disposed in the slide groove, and the second mating component is provided with a second magnet, which is opposite to and repulsing the first magnet;

[0009] An elastic component is provided that can extend and retract along the direction intersecting the length direction of the slide groove. One end of the elastic component is connected to the second mating member, and the other end abuts against the first mating member or the first magnet.

[0010] In one optional embodiment, the elastic component includes an elastic element and a wear-resistant element, the elastic element being connected to the second mating element, and the wear-resistant element being disposed at one end of the elastic element away from the second mating element and abutting against the first mating element or the first magnet.

[0011] In one optional embodiment, the second magnet and / or the second mating member are provided with receiving grooves, at least a portion of the elastic member is disposed in the corresponding receiving groove, the elastic member is a cylindrical structure, and the outer peripheral wall of the elastic member is provided with an annular groove.

[0012] And / or, the end of the wear-resistant component facing away from the elastic component is configured as a spherical structure.

[0013] In one optional embodiment, the slide extends along a first direction, and in a second direction, the first magnet is provided on two opposite sidewalls of the slide, and the first magnet on the two sidewalls is opposite to and repulsing the corresponding second magnet. The second direction intersects the first direction, and in the second direction, the elastic component is provided on both opposite sides of the second mating member.

[0014] In one optional embodiment, in the third direction, the first magnet is provided on both opposite sidewalls of the slide, and the first magnet on both sidewalls is opposite to and repulsing the corresponding second magnet. The third direction intersects with the second direction and the first direction. In the third direction, the elastic component is provided on both opposite sides of the second mating member.

[0015] In one optional implementation, the number of elastic components is at least two, including a first elastic component and a second elastic component, wherein the first elastic component and the second elastic component are axially intersecting or non-planar.

[0016] And / or, the inner wall of the slide is provided with a mounting groove, and the first magnet is provided in the mounting groove;

[0017] And / or, the first mating member is provided with a through opening, the through opening penetrates the side wall of the first mating member and communicates with the slide groove, the second mating member includes an installation part and a connecting part connected to each other, the installation part is provided in the slide groove and is provided with the second magnet, and the connecting part extends out of the through opening.

[0018] In one alternative embodiment, the guide assembly further includes a cable slidably disposed within the groove and connected to the second mating member.

[0019] In one alternative embodiment, the guide assembly further includes a connecting rod, one end of which is rotatably connected to the cable and the other end of which is rotatably connected to the second mating member.

[0020] In one alternative embodiment, one of the second mating member and the connecting rod is provided with a pivot, and the other is provided with a mating hole. The pivot passes through the mating hole and can rotate and slide relative to the mating hole.

[0021] And / or, the inner wall of the slide is provided with a guide groove, the length direction of the guide groove is consistent with the length direction of the slide, and the cable is slidably disposed in the guide groove.

[0022] Secondly, the present invention also provides a window assembly including glass and a guide assembly as described above, wherein the glass is connected to the first mating member or the second mating member.

[0023] Thirdly, the present invention also provides a carrier, including the guide assembly as described above or the window assembly as described above.

[0024] The guide component provided in this invention has an elastic component arranged along a direction intersecting the length direction of the chute. Its expandable and contractile properties provide buffering and support for the second mating component. For example, when the magnetic repulsion balance is broken, the elastic component limits the abnormal displacement of the second mating component through its own elasticity, ensuring its positional stability within the chute and maintaining a preset distance between the second mating component and the inner wall of the chute.

[0025] Furthermore, the elastic component can also control the gap between the second mating part and the inner wall of the slide. For example, the elastic force of the elastic component can maintain the second mating part in a preset position within the slide, such as keeping it centered within the slide. That is, by applying a controllable elastic restoring force, the elastic component provides "soft positioning" for the second mating part based on magnetic levitation, thereby maintaining a stable gap between it and the inner wall of the slide, ensuring accurate guidance and smooth operation.

[0026] In addition, the repulsive force between the first magnet and the second magnet can suspend the second mating part in the groove, avoiding the direct friction between the slider and the guide rail in traditional mechanical contact guides, fundamentally reducing wear, lowering noise, and extending the service life of the guide assembly.

[0027] The window assembly and carrier provided in this invention, since they include the guide component of this invention, also include all the advantages of the guide component described above. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0046] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0047] In existing technologies, the slider and guide rail are in direct sliding contact, which is prone to wear on the contact surface due to continuous friction over long-term use. This increases operating resistance, affects the smoothness of movement, and may even cause abnormal noises, functional failures, shorten component lifespan, and increase maintenance costs. Related technologies reduce wear by placing mutually repelling magnets between the slider and guide rail, making the slider magnetically levitated.

[0048] However, the slider relies solely on magnetic repulsion to maintain its position, resulting in poor stability. For example, a simple magnetic levitation structure, which relies solely on magnetic repulsion to maintain its position, is prone to shifting or swaying due to external forces during dynamic scenarios such as vehicle bumps and turns.

[0049] To address or improve the problem of poor stability of sliders in related technologies, this invention provides a guide component, a window assembly, and a carrier.

[0050] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 15 The present invention describes the guiding components provided in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0051] Specifically, the guide assembly includes a first mating member 1, a second mating member 2, and an elastic component 3. For example, one of the first mating member 1 and the second mating member 2 is connected to the main body of the vehicle, and the other is connected to the glass. For ease of explanation, this application describes the first mating member 1 as being connected to the main body of the vehicle, and the second mating member 2 as being connected to the glass; however, it is understood that the reverse is also possible.

[0052] The first mating component 1 has a groove 101, and the inner wall of the groove 101 is provided with a first magnet 4. For example, the first mating component 1 is made of aluminum and can be formed by extrusion. The first magnet 4 can be a permanent magnet or an electromagnet. The permanent magnet can be a neodymium magnet.

[0053] The second mating component 2 is movably disposed in the slide groove 101, and a second magnet 5 is provided on the second mating component 2. The second magnet 5 can be a permanent magnet or an electromagnet. The second magnet 5 is opposite to and repulses the first magnet 4, so that the second mating component 2 is magnetically levitated within the slide groove 101. Optionally, the second mating component 2 can be made of engineering plastic or aluminum.

[0054] The elastic component 3 is extendable and retractable along a direction intersecting the length direction of the slide groove 101, meaning the extendable direction of the elastic component 3 intersects the length direction of the slide groove 101, for example, the extendable direction of the elastic component 3 is perpendicular to the length direction of the slide groove 101. One end of the elastic component 3 is connected to the second mating member 2, and the other end abuts against the first mating member 1 or the first magnet 4. It can be understood that the elastic component 3 can be directly connected to the second mating member 2, or the elastic component 3 can be connected to the second magnet 5, thereby indirectly connecting to the second mating member 2.

[0055] Optionally, the arrangement direction of the first magnet 4 and the second magnet 5 is consistent with the stretchable direction of the elastic component 3, that is, the direction of the repulsive force between the first magnet 4 and the second magnet 5 is the same as the stretchable direction of the elastic component 3. Thus, when the first magnet 4 and the second magnet 5 move closer or further away from each other, the first mating member 1 and the second mating member 2 can compress the elastic component 3.

[0056] Alternatively, the arrangement direction of the first magnet 4 and the second magnet 5 can intersect with the stretchable direction of the elastic component 3, that is, the direction of the repulsive force between the first magnet 4 and the second magnet 5 intersects with the stretchable direction of the elastic component 3. In this way, the first magnet 4 and the second magnet 5 can compress the elastic component 3 when they move in a direction perpendicular to the repulsive force.

[0057] In this embodiment, the elastic component 3 is arranged along the direction intersecting the length direction of the slide groove 101, and its stretchable characteristics provide buffering and support for the second mating member 2. For example, when the magnetic repulsion balance is broken, the elastic component 3 restricts the abnormal displacement of the second mating member 2 through its own elasticity, ensuring its positional stability within the slide groove 101.

[0058] Furthermore, the elastic component 3 can also control the gap between the second mating member 2 and the inner wall of the slide 101. For example, the elastic force of the elastic component 3 can maintain the second mating member 2 in a preset position within the slide 101, such as keeping the second mating member 2 centered within the slide 101. That is, by applying a controllable elastic restoring force, the elastic component 3 provides "soft positioning" for the second mating member 2 based on magnetic levitation, thereby limiting the suspension position of the second mating member 2, determining the initial gap size between it and the slide 101, and maintaining a stable gap between it and the inner wall of the slide 101, ensuring accurate guidance and smooth operation.

[0059] In addition, the repulsive force between the first magnet 4 and the second magnet 5 can make the second mating part 2 suspend in the slide groove 101, avoiding the direct friction between the slider and the guide rail in traditional mechanical contact guides, fundamentally reducing wear, lowering noise, and extending the service life of the guide assembly.

[0060] In some embodiments provided by the present invention, the elastic component 3 includes an elastic element 301 and a wear-resistant element 302.

[0061] The elastic element 301 is connected to the second mating element 2. For example, the elastic element 301 can be bonded, screwed, snapped, or riveted to the second mating element 2. The wear-resistant element 302 is disposed at the end of the elastic element 301 opposite to the second mating element 2 and abuts against the first mating element 1 or the first magnet 4. For example, the wear-resistant element 302 can be bonded, screwed, snapped, or riveted to the elastic element 301.

[0062] In this embodiment, the wear-resistant component 302 is disposed at the end of the elastic component 301 away from the second mating component 2, serving as a "contact surface" that contacts the first mating component 1 or the first magnet 4. It can directly withstand frictional wear, protect the elastic component 301 from wear, significantly extend the overall service life of the elastic component 3, and reduce the replacement frequency and maintenance costs.

[0063] Optionally, the wear-resistant part 302 can be made of engineering plastics such as polyamide, polyoxymethylene, or polytetrafluoroethylene. This design fully utilizes the core characteristics of wear-resistant part 302—low friction and high wear resistance—while also meeting the requirements for lightweight, low noise, and adaptability to complex working conditions, making it more suitable for practical applications such as vehicle window assemblies. Of course, wear-resistant part 302 can also be made of wear-resistant metals such as copper.

[0064] Optionally, the end of the wear-resistant part 302 that is away from the elastic part 301 is configured as a spherical structure, that is, the wear-resistant part 302 abuts against the first mating part 1 or the second magnet 5 through the spherical structure.

[0065] In this embodiment, the spherical structure has isotropic contact characteristics. No matter how the relative angle between the wear-resistant part 302 and the contact object changes, it can maintain a stable contact state, ensuring that the elastic component 3 can always transmit elastic force through the spherical surface, effectively restraining the abnormal displacement of the second mating part 2.

[0066] In addition, the contact between the spherical structure and the first mating part 1 or the first magnet 4 is a point contact or a small area contact. Compared with the contact between planes, the contact area is smaller, which effectively reduces the sliding friction and helps the first mating part 1 slide more smoothly in the groove 101.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present invention, a receiving groove 204 is provided on the second magnet 5 and / or the second mating member 2, and at least a portion of the elastic member 301 is disposed within the corresponding receiving groove 204. The elastic member 301 has a cylindrical structure, and an annular groove 3011 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the elastic member 301, the annular groove 3011 being arranged circumferentially around the elastic member 301. It is understood that at least a portion of the wear-resistant member 302 is disposed outside the receiving groove 204. Alternatively, one end of the wear-resistant member 302 is slidably engaged with the receiving groove 204, and the other end abuts against the first mating member 1 or the second magnet 5.

[0068] Optionally, refer to Figures 2-4 as well as Figure 9 As shown, the cross-section of the annular groove 3011 is arc-shaped. Furthermore, the two sidewalls of the annular groove 3011 can intersect with the two end faces of the elastic element 301, respectively. In this embodiment, the arc-shaped cross-section has a smooth transition, which can reduce stress concentration and improve the fatigue resistance of the elastic element 301. Of course, in some embodiments not shown, the cross-section of the annular groove 3011 can also be a rectangular or trapezoidal structure.

[0069] In this embodiment, the receiving groove 204 allows at least a portion of the elastic member 301 to be embedded within the second magnet 5 or the second mating member 2, reducing the space occupied by the elastic member 301 between the first mating member 1 and the second mating member 2, making the overall structure of the guide assembly more compact, thereby saving installation space. Furthermore, the receiving groove 204 can position the elastic member 301, preventing it from shifting and ensuring that the elastic member 301 can stably provide elastic force.

[0070] In addition, when the elastic element 301 is compressed, it will expand radially due to deformation. The presence of the annular groove 3011 can provide additional expansion space for the elastic element 301, thereby avoiding interference or jamming between the elastic element 301 and the inner wall of the receiving groove 204 due to expansion.

[0071] Optionally, the elastic element 301 may be made of rubber, silicone, or thermoplastic elastomer (TPE).

[0072] In some embodiments provided by the present invention, the number of elastic components 3 is at least two, including a first elastic component 303 and a second elastic component 304. The first elastic component 303 and the second elastic component 304 are axially intersecting or non-planar. It is understood that one end of both the first elastic component 303 and the second elastic component 304 is connected to the second mating member 2, and the other end abuts against the first mating member 1 or the first magnet 4. Optionally, the axes of the first elastic component 303 and the second elastic component 304 are perpendicular.

[0073] In this embodiment, the two axially intersecting elastic components 3 can provide stable support to the second mating component 2 from different directions, offsetting external forces in multiple directions such as lateral and oblique directions, and further improving the problem of insufficient stability of the elastic component 3.

[0074] For example, under complex working conditions such as vehicle bumps and turns, the elastic components 3 in different directions can respond to the forces in their respective directions, and suppress the swaying or displacement of the second mating component 2 through synergistic action, thereby improving the dynamic stability of the overall structure.

[0075] refer to Figures 1-3 As shown, in some embodiments provided by the present invention, the slide groove 101 extends along the first direction X, that is, the length direction of the slide groove 101 is consistent with the first direction X. Optionally, as... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the groove 101 has four sidewalls distributed circumferentially.

[0076] Furthermore, in the second direction Y, the two opposite sidewalls of the slide 101 are provided with first magnets 4, and the first magnets 4 on the two sidewalls are opposite to and repel the corresponding second magnets 5. The second direction Y intersects the first direction X, for example, the second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X.

[0077] In the second direction Y, elastic components 3 are provided on both opposite sides of the second mating member 2. Specifically, the elastic components 3 on both sides of the second mating member 2 have a pre-compression amount. Corresponding to the above embodiment, in the second direction Y, the elastic components 3 provided on both opposite sides of the second mating member 2 are all first elastic components 303. It can be understood that in the second direction Y, there is a gap between the two opposite sides of the second mating member 2 and the corresponding sidewalls of the slide groove 101.

[0078] In this embodiment, the slide 101 is provided with first magnets 4 on both sidewalls opposite to each other in the second direction Y, and both magnets 4 and second magnets 5 of the second mating member 2 form a repulsive force to provide basic suspension support for the second mating member 2 from both sides, so as to prevent it from shifting in the second direction Y due to unilateral force imbalance.

[0079] Furthermore, the elastic components 3 on both sides of the second mating member 2 can jointly limit the position of the second mating member 2, for example, so that the second mating member 2 is initially centered along the second direction Y. At the same time, when the second mating member 2 is subjected to a force in the second direction Y, the elastic components 3 can quickly generate a change in elastic force, which, together with the synergistic effect of magnetic repulsion, can instantly suppress the displacement of the second mating member 2 and improve the anti-interference response speed.

[0080] refer to Figure 4 As shown, the force on the second mating part 2 in the second direction Y is analyzed below:

[0081] First, assuming the gap between the sliding component and the first magnet 4 on either side is D when the sliding component is at its "median value" (or nominal value, design value) in the second direction Y, the pressure between the first magnet 4 and the elastic component 3 in the second direction Y is N, the pre-compression of the elastic component 3 is ε, the coefficient of sliding friction between the elastic component 3 and the first magnet 4 is η, the elastic component 3 satisfies Hooke's law in the second direction Y and has a spring constant of P, the relationship between the magnetic repulsion force F of the first magnet 4 on the second magnet 5 and the distance D is simplified empirically to F = CD. K Where C is a proportionality constant, for example, C = 0.000145, and K is the decay exponent, which indicates that the magnetic repulsion decreases as the distance increases, for example, K = -2.5.

[0082] When the external force M on the second mating part 2 in the second direction Y is 0, it is at the median value. From mechanics, we can deduce that F1 = CD. K F2 = CD K N1 = Pε, N2 = Pε, F1 >> N1, F2 >> N2. The sum of the sliding friction forces on the two sidewalls of the groove 101 in the second direction Y is S = (N1 + N2)η = 2Pεη.

[0083] When the external force M on the second mating component 2 in the second direction Y is not equal to 0, it deviates from the median value. Assume that the displacement of the sliding component from the median value in the second direction Y is δ.

[0084] From the knowledge of mechanics, we can deduce that F1 = C(D - δ). K F2 = C(D + δ) K N1 = P(ε + δ), N2 = P(ε - δ), F1 >> N1, F2 >> N2. Further, M = (F1 - F2) + (N1 - N2) = C[(D - δ)] K -(D+δ) K The sum of the sliding friction forces on the two sidewalls of the groove 101 in the second direction Y is S=(N1+N2)η=[P(ε+δ)+P(ε-δ)]η=2Pεη.

[0085] Therefore, regardless of whether the second mating component 2 is displaced due to the external force M, the sliding friction force S exerted by the two side walls of the slide groove 101 on the elastic component 3 remains constant at 2Pεη. This means that the friction loss of the system will not increase due to external disturbances, which is beneficial for long-term stable operation and reduced wear.

[0086] Furthermore, even if the second mating component 2 deviates from its median position under the action of external force M, the magnetic repulsion F between the first magnet 4 and the second magnet 5 primarily undertakes the adjustment task, ensuring that the system can respond quickly and return to a balanced state. Although the main function of the elastic components 3 is not to directly resist external force M, their pre-compression provides the necessary initial support force, which helps maintain the positional stability of the second mating component 2.

[0087] refer to Figures 1-3 As shown, in some embodiments provided by the present invention, on the third direction Z, the two opposite sidewalls of the slide 101 are each provided with a first magnet 4, and the first magnet 4 on the two sidewalls are opposite to and repel the corresponding second magnet 5. The third direction Z intersects the second direction Y and the first direction X. For example, the third direction Z is perpendicular to the second direction Y and the first direction X, or in other words, the third direction Z, the second direction Y, and the first direction X are all perpendicular to each other.

[0088] In the third direction Z, elastic components 3 are provided on both opposite sides of the second mating member 2. Specifically, the elastic components 3 on both sides of the second mating member 2 have a pre-compression amount. Corresponding to the above embodiment, in the third direction Z, the elastic components 3 provided on both opposite sides of the second mating member 2 are all second elastic components 304. It can be understood that in the third direction Z, there is a gap between the two opposite sides of the second mating member 2 and the corresponding sidewall of the slide groove 101.

[0089] In this embodiment, the slide 101 is provided with first magnets 4 on both sidewalls opposite to each other in the third direction Z, and both magnets 4 and second magnets 5 of the second mating member 2 form a repulsive force to provide basic suspension support for the second mating member 2 from both sides, so as to prevent it from shifting in the third direction Z due to unilateral force imbalance.

[0090] Furthermore, the elastic components 3 on both sides of the second mating member 2 jointly limit the position of the second mating member 2, for example, allowing the second mating member 2 to be initially centered along the third direction Z. At the same time, when the second mating member 2 is subjected to a force along the third direction Z, the elastic components 3 can quickly generate a change in elastic force, which, in conjunction with the synergistic effect of magnetic repulsion, can instantly suppress the displacement of the second mating member 2 and improve the anti-interference response speed.

[0091] Furthermore, the force analysis of the second mating component 2 in the third direction Z can be referenced above regarding the force analysis of the second mating component 2 in the second direction Y, as the analysis process is the same. Based on the analysis, it can be seen that the effect of the second mating component 2 in the third direction Z is the same as its effect in the second direction Y.

[0092] In some embodiments provided by the present invention, the inner wall of the slide 101 is provided with an installation groove 103, and the installation groove 103 is provided with a first magnet 4.

[0093] In this embodiment, the mounting groove 103 provides a dedicated mounting space for the first magnet 4, restricting its displacement and ensuring accurate and stable magnet positioning. This prevents magnet displacement due to vibration or impact, thereby ensuring the stability of the direction and magnitude of the magnetic repulsion force. Furthermore, the first magnet 4 can be embedded within the mounting groove 103, preventing it from protruding from the inner wall of the slide groove 101, ensuring a smooth inner wall of the slide groove 101, reducing interference with the sliding of the second mating member 2, and making the overall structure more compact and space-saving.

[0094] Optionally, the mounting groove 103 is a T-groove or a dovetail groove. In this embodiment, the special cross-sectional structure of the T-groove and the dovetail groove can mechanically lock the first magnet 4, preventing it from falling off along the depth direction of the groove 101, thereby adapting to vibration environments such as vehicle bumps.

[0095] In some embodiments provided by the present invention, the first mating member 1 is provided with a through opening 102, the through opening 102 penetrates the side wall of the first mating member 1 and communicates with the slide groove 101, the second mating member 2 includes an installation part 201 and a connecting part 202 connected to each other, the installation part 201 is provided in the slide groove 101 and is provided with a second magnet 5, and the connecting part 202 extends out of the through opening 102.

[0096] In this embodiment, the mounting part 201 remains in the slide groove 101 and is kept stable by magnetic levitation and elastic component 3. The connecting part 202 protrudes through the through hole 102 and can be connected to external components such as glass to realize the transmission of force (such as driving the glass to move).

[0097] Optionally, refer to Figure 2 as well as Figures 10-13 As shown, the mounting portion 201 and the connecting portion 202 are arranged along the second direction Y. For example, the connecting portion 202 is a connecting plate. The mounting portion 201 includes two mounting plates 2011, which are distributed on both sides of the connecting portion 202 along the third direction Z.

[0098] Specifically, a second magnet 5 is mounted on both sides of the mounting plate 2011 in the second direction Y, and the second magnets 5 on both sides of the mounting plate 2011 extend along the third direction Z, with the magnetic field directions of the second magnets 5 on both sides facing the positive and negative directions of the third direction Z, respectively. A second magnet 5 is provided on both sides of any mounting plate 2011.

[0099] Accordingly, the slide groove 101 has two opposite sidewalls in the second direction Y with first magnets 4, and the first magnets 4 on the two sidewalls are respectively arranged opposite to the second magnets 5 on both sides of the mounting plate 2011. The magnetic field direction of the first magnets 4 is arranged along the third direction Z, and the magnetic field directions of the first magnets 4 and the corresponding second magnets 5 are consistent, so that the first magnets 4 and the corresponding second magnets 5 form a magnetic repulsion force in the second direction Y. It can be understood that each mounting plate 2011 has a corresponding first magnet 4 on both sides, and each mounting plate 2011 has an elastic component 3 on both sides, which abuts against the corresponding first magnet 4.

[0100] Accordingly, the slide 101 is provided with first magnets 4 on two opposing sidewalls in the third direction Z, and the magnetic field direction of the first magnets 4 is arranged along the second direction Y. For either of the two sidewalls, one end of the first magnet 4 on that sidewall is opposite to a second magnet 5 on one side of the mounting plate 2011, and the other end is opposite to a second magnet 5 on the other side of the mounting plate 2011. Further, among the two second magnets 5 on both sides of the mounting plate 2011, the one with the N pole facing the first magnet 4 is close to the N end of the first magnet 4, and the one with the S pole facing the first magnet 4 is close to the S end of the first magnet 4, thereby creating a magnetic repulsion force between the first magnet 4 and the two second magnets 5 in the third direction Z.

[0101] Each mounting plate 2011 has a corresponding elastic component 3 at one end away from the connecting part 202, and the elastic component 3 abuts against the corresponding first magnet 4.

[0102] The arrangement of the first magnet 4 and the second magnet 5 in the above embodiments is only one feasible example and should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of protection. It is understood that in other embodiments, the arrangement of the first magnet 4 and the second magnet 5 may be of other types.

[0103] For example, in some embodiments not shown, the cross-section of the slide 101 can be circular, and correspondingly, the cross-section of the second mating member 2 is circular. Multiple first magnets 4 can be arranged along the circumference of the slide 101. Similarly, multiple second magnets 5 can be arranged along the circumference of the second mating member 2, and the second magnets 5 can correspond one-to-one with the first magnets 4.

[0104] Optionally, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 13As shown, in the second direction Y, the second magnets 5 on both sides of the mounting plate 2011 are provided with receiving grooves 204, the receiving grooves 204 penetrate the corresponding second magnets 5, and the first elastic component 303 is arranged in the corresponding receiving groove 204 and connected to the mounting plate 2011.

[0105] Optionally, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 12 As shown, the second mating component 2 has a receiving groove 204 arranged in the third direction Z. Specifically, the receiving groove 204 penetrates the mounting plate 2011 and the first magnets 4 on both sides of the mounting plate 2011. The second elastic component 304 is arranged in the corresponding receiving groove 204 and connected to the mounting plate 2011.

[0106] Optionally, refer to Figure 12 As shown, the second mating component 2 also includes a hollow beam 203, which extends along the length of the slide groove 101. The hollow beam 203 is connected between the two mounting plates 2011 and is connected to the connecting part 202.

[0107] In this embodiment, the hollow beam 203 connects the two mounting plates 2011, which can significantly improve the overall rigidity and deformation resistance of the second mating component 2. In addition, while ensuring rigidity, the hollow structure can reduce the overall weight of the second mating component 2 and reduce the inertial load when it slides along the slide groove 101.

[0108] In addition, the hollow beam 203, as an intermediate component connecting the two mounting plates 2011 and the connecting part 202, can evenly transmit the force from the connecting part 202 (from the glass) to the two mounting plates 2011, avoiding excessive local stress caused by the force being concentrated on a certain mounting plate 2011.

[0109] Optionally, the connecting part 202, the hollow beam 203, and the mounting plate 2011 are integrally formed structures, such as injection molding or sheet metal forming.

[0110] refer to Figures 5-8 As shown, in some embodiments provided by the present invention, the guide assembly further includes a cable 6, which is slidably disposed in the groove 101 and connected to the second mating member 2.

[0111] In this embodiment, the cable 6 can be connected to a drive device (such as a motor), and by pulling or pushing the second mating component 2, it can achieve stable movement along the length of the slide 101, precisely driving the movement of components such as glass. The cable 6 is thin and can be flexibly arranged, without occupying too much space in the slide 101, and is compatible with structures such as magnetic levitation and elastic components 3, without affecting the overall lightweight design.

[0112] In some embodiments provided by the present invention, a guide groove 104 is provided on the inner wall of the slide groove 101, the length direction of the guide groove 104 is consistent with the length direction of the slide groove 101, and the cable 6 is slidably disposed in the guide groove 104.

[0113] In this embodiment, the guide groove 104 can limit the offset of the cable 6, ensure that it slides stably along the length direction of the slide groove 101, avoid the cable 6 from shaking, getting tangled or interfering with other components (such as magnets, elastic components 3), and ensure accurate transmission of driving force.

[0114] refer to Figures 5-8 ,as well as Figures 14-15 As shown, in some embodiments provided by the present invention, the guide assembly further includes a connecting rod 7, one end of which is rotatably connected to the cable 6, and the other end of which is rotatably connected to the second mating member 2.

[0115] In this embodiment, the cable 6 can be driven by the connecting rod 7 to move the second mating member 2 within the slide groove 101. Furthermore, as the second mating member 2 moves closer to or further away from the cable 6, the connecting rod 7 can adaptively adjust its angle by rotation, thereby adapting to changes in the position between the second mating member 2 and the cable 6. This avoids the second mating member 2 exerting lateral pressure or tension on the cable 6, preventing increased frictional resistance between the cable 6 and the slide groove 101 or guide groove 104. Here, "lateral" refers to the direction intersecting the axial direction of the cable 6.

[0116] Optionally, the connecting rod 7 is hinged to the cable 6. For example, the cable 6 has a lug 601 on its side wall, and the connecting rod 7 is hinged to the lug 601 by a pin.

[0117] Optionally, one of the second mating member 2 and the connecting rod 7 is provided with a pivot 8, and the other is provided with a mating hole 701. The pivot 8 passes through the mating hole 701 and can rotate and slide relative to the mating hole 701. For example, the second mating member 2 is provided with a pivot 8, and the end of the connecting rod 7 away from the cable 6 is provided with a mating hole 701. The mating hole 701 is fitted onto the pivot 8 and can rotate and slide relative to the pivot 8. Of course, the reverse is also possible.

[0118] In this embodiment, during the axial movement of the second mating component 2 along the pivot 8, the pivot 8 can slide axially relative to the mating hole 701, avoiding the second mating component 2 exerting a lateral force on the cable 6, which would increase the frictional resistance between the cable 6 and the slide groove 101 or guide groove 104. That is, when the second mating component 2 moves axially along the pivot 8, the axial sliding of the pivot 8 relative to the mating hole 701 can directly offset the lateral force generated by the displacement in that direction, preventing it from being transmitted to the cable 6. Here, "lateral" refers to the direction intersecting the axial direction of the cable 6.

[0119] Further, refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, pivot 8 is located inside hollow beam 203.

[0120] In this embodiment, the pivot 8 can be accommodated by the internal cavity of the hollow beam 203 without occupying additional external space, making the structure more compact and adaptable to the limited installation environment of the slide 101.

[0121] In addition, the hollow beam 203 can provide physical protection for the pivot 8, reducing the intrusion of external dust and impurities and the impact wear during movement, thus ensuring the stability of the engagement between the pivot 8 and the connecting rod 7.

[0122] This invention also provides a window assembly.

[0123] Specifically, the window assembly includes glass and a guide assembly as described above, the glass being connected to either the first mating member 1 or the second mating member 2.

[0124] It should be noted that the window assembly includes the guide components, and therefore also includes all the advantages of the guide components mentioned above, so it will not be elaborated further.

[0125] Additionally, it should be noted that, for vehicles, the window assembly can refer to either the sunroof assembly or the side window assembly.

[0126] This invention also provides a vehicle in its embodiments.

[0127] The vehicle includes the guide assembly as described above or the window assembly as described above.

[0128] It should be noted that the vehicle includes a guidance component, and therefore also includes all the advantages of the guidance component mentioned above, so it will not be elaborated further.
