Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of glass technology, and in particular to an electric heating connector assembly, a glass assembly, and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] When there is a significant temperature difference between the inside and outside of glass, a layer of fog will condense on the glass, obstructing visibility. Taking glass used in vehicles as an example, obstructed visibility directly affects driving safety and can easily lead to accidents. Especially in cold seasons, snow or frost on the outside of the glass often further exacerbates the obstruction of visibility, reducing safety. Therefore, related technologies typically use coated and heated glass, which can achieve the purpose of defrosting and defogging by being electrically heated.

[0003] In related technologies for coated heated glass, embedded resistance wire heating technology is commonly used. This involves laying conductive silver paste within the glass interlayer to form a metal wire network, which is then welded with conductive tabs. These tabs are connected to a power source via wires, thus establishing a connection between the metal wire network and the power supply. When the power is applied, the resistance wires heat up, correspondingly increasing the glass surface temperature to eliminate condensation or frost. However, glass products using this technology suffer from defects such as poor defogging and defrosting effects, and spontaneous glass breakage. Furthermore, if the conductive tabs malfunction later, the entire sheet of glass typically needs to be replaced, resulting in waste. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing an electric heating connector assembly, a glass assembly, and a vehicle that can guarantee defogging and defrosting effects and facilitate disassembly and replacement.

[0015] In one embodiment, the conductive element has a mounting portion, the mounting portion has a mounting hole, and the electrode is inserted into the mounting hole and connected to the mounting portion and electrically connected.

[0016] In one embodiment, the electric heating connector assembly further includes conductive adhesive disposed within the mounting hole and connected between the mounting portion and the electrode.

[0017] In one embodiment, the electric heating connector assembly further includes a sealing cap; both mounting portions are connected to the sealing cap, which is disposed on the side of the mounting portion opposite to the first electric connector.

[0018] In one embodiment, the support shell has an insertion port at one end facing the first electrical connector, and the clearance notch extends along the insertion / removal direction parallel to the first electrical connector to the end of the support shell facing the first electrical connector, and the clearance notch communicates with the insertion port; the first electrical connector is installed into the support shell through the insertion port.

[0019] In one embodiment, the outer wall of the first electrical connector is provided with a flange, and the flange abuts against the end of the support shell facing the first electrical connector in the insertion direction of the first electrical connector; the electric heating connector assembly further includes a connector, and the flange is connected to the end of the support shell facing the first electrical connector through the connector.

[0020] In one embodiment, the electric heating connector assembly further includes an electrical connection wire, one end of which is provided with a second electrical connector, and the other end of which is used to connect to a power source. The second electrical connector is plugged into and engaged with the first electrical connector.

[0021] In one embodiment, the other end of the electrical connection wire is provided with a third electrical connector for connecting to a power source.

[0022] In one embodiment, the elastic deformation that occurs when each of the conductive elements comes into contact with the resistance wire is between 0.5 mm and 3 mm.

This facilitates the removal of the conductive element without requiring the glass to be replaced along with it, ensuring that the replacement of the conductive element does not damage the glass and thus guaranteeing the defogging and defrosting effect.

[0035] 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.

[0036] As described in the background section, glass products in related technologies suffer from defects such as poor defogging and defrosting effects, and spontaneous glass breakage. Furthermore, when the conductive tongue malfunctions, the entire glass panel typically needs to be replaced, resulting in waste. This is because the welding process between the conductive tongue and the metal wire network is unstable, easily leading to poor welding and uneven heating of the glass surface. This reduces the defogging and defrosting effect and increases the risk of spontaneous glass breakage, seriously impacting safety and reliability. Moreover, the elasticity of the conductive tongue gradually decreases with use, resulting in poor contact performance and requiring periodic replacement. Replacing the conductive tongue later necessitates replacing the entire glass panel, leading to waste and increased costs.

[0037] Even though some related technologies propose directly bonding and fixing the conductive tongue to the glass, achieving conductivity through electrical contact between the conductive contact portion of the conductive tongue and the conductive coating, while improving the defogging and defrosting effect to some extent, the conductive tongue becomes difficult to disassemble and replace because it is bonded to the glass as a whole. When the conductive tongue malfunctions and needs replacement, the entire piece of glass usually needs to be replaced. If the conductive tongue is removed and replaced separately, the separation process can easily damage the glass and reduce the defogging and defrosting effect.

[0038] For the reasons mentioned above, this application provides an electric heating connector assembly, a glass assembly, and a vehicle that can ensure defogging and defrosting effects, and facilitate disassembly and replacement operations, thereby reducing costs.

[0039] It should be noted that the glass assembly provided in this application can be applied to multiple fields, including but not limited to the automotive, construction, home, and industrial fields. The specific application can be tailored to actual needs and is not limited here. Specifically, this application illustrates the application of the glass assembly in a vehicle, but this does not mean that the glass assembly can only be used in the automotive field.

[0040] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 An embodiment of this application provides a glass assembly including glass 10, which includes, but is not limited to, sunroof glass, windshield glass, rear window glass, and side window glass.

[0041] In one embodiment, the glass 10 is, for example, a windshield.

[0042] Glass 10 can be either single-pane glass or laminated glass, depending on the actual needs.

[0043] The glass 10 is equipped with resistance wires. When energized, the resistance wires function to defog and defrost, improving the user experience. The resistance wires can be arranged in a grid pattern, and can be placed in one, multiple, or all areas of the glass 10. The specific arrangement can be determined according to actual needs, without excessive restrictions. When the area of ​​the resistance wires on the glass 10 is larger, the area heated is correspondingly larger, and the area defogged and defrosted is correspondingly larger; conversely, when the area of ​​the resistance wires on the glass 10 is smaller, the area heated is correspondingly smaller, and the area defogged and defrosted is correspondingly smaller.

[0044] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The glass assembly also includes an electric heating connector assembly 20. The electric heating connector assembly 20 is used to connect to an external power source and is electrically connected to the resistance wire. When the electric heating connector is powered on, the power is conducted through the electric heating connector assembly 20 to the resistance wire, and the resistance wire heats up after being energized, thereby achieving the function of heating the glass 10.

[0045] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 Specifically, the electric heating connector assembly 20 includes a support member 21, a first electrical connector 22, and a conductive member 23. The support member 21 is used to fix it to the glass 10. The first electrical connector 22 is detachably mounted on the support member 21. The conductive member 23 is disposed on the first electrical connector 22 and is electrically connected to the first electrical connector 22. The conductive member 23 is also used to abut against and be electrically connected to the resistance wire of the glass 10.

[0046] The conductive element 23 is electrically connected to the resistance wire of the glass 10 by abutting against each other. The conductive element 23 is also electrically connected to the first electrical connector 22. That is, when the first electrical connector 22 is connected to an external power source, the power source will supply electricity to the resistance wire of the glass 10 through the first electrical connector 22 and the conductive element 23, thereby realizing the defogging and defrosting function of the glass 10.

[0047] In the aforementioned glass assembly and electric heating connector assembly 20, the support member 21 is fixed to the glass 10, the first electrical connector 22 is detachably mounted on the support member 21, and the conductive element 23 is disposed on the first electrical connector 22. The conductive element 23 is electrically connected to the resistance wire of the glass 10 by abutment. Thus, when the conductive element 23 needs to be replaced due to problems such as poor contact performance, the first electrical connector 22 can be detached from the support member 21, and the conductive element 23 disposed on the first electrical connector 22 will also be detached from the support member 21. Therefore, it is convenient to disassemble the conductive element 23 without replacing the glass 10 together. The replacement of the conductive element 23 will not damage the glass 10, thereby ensuring the defogging and defrosting effect.

[0048] It should be noted that there are various ways to fix the support member 21 to the glass 10, including but not limited to bonding, snap-fitting, riveting, or using fasteners such as pins and screws. In this embodiment, in order to reduce various damages to the glass 10 during installation, such as cracking, the support member 21 is specifically fixed to the glass 10 by bonding, which ensures the stability and efficiency of the installation, while effectively solving the problems of high energy consumption and high cost caused by welding, reducing the impact on the environment, and conforming to the development direction of energy conservation and emission reduction of new energy vehicles.

[0049] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 In one specific embodiment, the electric heating connector assembly 20 further includes an adhesive member 24. The support member 21 is bonded and fixed to the glass 10 by the adhesive member 24. Optionally, the adhesive member 24 may include, but is not limited to, double-sided tape or PU adhesive, etc., and can be flexibly selected and set according to actual needs.

[0050] To prevent short circuits when the support 21 comes into electrical contact with the resistance wire, the support 21 may, for example, be made of an insulating material. More specifically, the support 21 may be made of plastic, including but not limited to polycarbonate and ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene). In this way, the support 21, while possessing good insulation, impact resistance, and weather resistance, can effectively protect the internal electronic components from damage.

[0051] Please see Figures 4 to 6 The support member 21 primarily serves to support and mount the first electrical connector 22. Therefore, the specific form of the support member 21 can be flexibly adjusted and set according to actual needs. For example, the support member 21 can be configured as a support shell, support base, or support block, etc. Specifically, in this embodiment, the support member 21 is specifically configured as a support shell, and the first electrical connector 22 is detachably disposed within the support shell. In this way, the support shell protects the first electrical connector 22 located inside it. Furthermore, the support shell is configured as an insulating shell, which can prevent the first electrical connector 22 from being exposed and causing the risk of electric shock, thus improving safety.

[0052] Based on the aforementioned embodiment, the support shell is provided with a clearance notch 211. The conductive element 23 extends out of the support shell through the clearance notch 211, and the portion of the conductive element 23 extending out of the support shell is used to abut against the resistance wire.

[0053] It should be noted that the conductive element 23 can be set to one, two, or multiple quantities. The specific quantity can be adjusted and set according to actual needs, and is not limited here.

[0054] In this embodiment, we will specifically take the example of having two conductive elements 23. The first electrical connector 22 has two electrodes 221. The two electrodes 221 have opposite polarities, one being positive and the other negative. The two conductive elements 23 are connected to the two electrodes 221 in a one-to-one correspondence. The two conductive elements 23 also, for example, abut against the opposite ends of the resistance wire, that is, the resistance wire is connected to a closed loop. When the power supply is turned on, the current flows through the resistance wire, causing the resistance wire to heat up, thereby achieving the function of defogging and defrosting the glass 10.

[0055] Based on the aforementioned embodiment, there are two clearance notches 211, and each of the two clearance notches 211 corresponds to one of the two conductive elements 23. Each conductive element 23 can extend out of the support shell through its corresponding clearance notch 211, and the portion extending out of the support shell, for example, abuts against the opposite ends of the resistance wire.

[0056] The two conductive elements 23 extend out of the support shell and are located on opposite sides of the support shell. With both conductive elements 23 fixedly mounted on the first electrical connector 22, the clamping force between the extended portions of the two conductive elements 23 and the glass 10 is almost identical, ensuring stable contact between each conductive element 23 and the resistance wire.

[0057] For example, after the electric heating connector assembly 20 is installed on the glass 10, each conductive element 23 abuts against the resistance wire. The elastic deformation of the conductive element 23 is, but is not limited to, 0.5 mm to 3 mm, specifically, for example, 0.5 mm, 1 mm, 2 mm, or 3 mm, etc. In this way, stable contact between the conductive element 23 and the resistance wire can be guaranteed.

[0058] The conductive element 23 includes, but is not limited to, a conductive sheet. The conductive sheet can be made of various metal materials. Optionally, the conductive sheet may be made of a highly conductive material such as beryllium bronze, and has a certain degree of elasticity, so that it can elastically and tightly abut against the glass 10 at the contact point, ensuring electrical contact performance.

[0059] Based on the aforementioned embodiments, the conductive element 23 includes a connecting portion 231 and an abutting portion 232. One end of the connecting portion 231 is connected to the first electrical connector 22, and the other end of the connecting portion 231 is connected to the abutting portion 232. The connecting portion 231 is configured in a curved shape. For example, the connecting portion 231 is, for example, a zigzag shape or an S-shape. When the abutting portion 232 abuts against the glass 10, the connecting portion 231 undergoes elastic deformation under force, which can ensure a tight abutment between the abutting portion 232 and the glass 10, resulting in high stability.

[0060] For example, the abutment portion 232 is used to abut against the resistance wire, and the abutment portion 232 is configured as a flat surface. In this way, the abutment portion 232 has good stability when it abuts against the glass 10, thereby ensuring electrical contact performance.

[0061] It should be noted that there are many ways to connect the conductive component 23 to the electrode 221 of the first electrical connector 22. For example, it can be connected by bonding with conductive adhesive 25, by welding, or by using metal pins, metal rivets, or metal screws. Other methods can also be used. In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the first electrical connector 22 and the conductive component 23, the conductive component 23 and the first electrical connector 22 are specifically connected by bonding with conductive adhesive 25.

[0062] For example, the conductive component 23 is provided with a mounting portion 233, and the mounting portion 233 is provided with a mounting hole 2331. The electrode 221 is inserted into the mounting hole 2331 and connected to the mounting portion 233 and electrically connected. In this way, the electrode 221 of the first electrical connector 22 is connected to the conductive component 23 by plugging, which can be quickly assembled together. The connection between the electrode 221 and the mounting portion 233 is stable, and the electrical contact performance is stable and reliable.

[0063] Optionally, the cross-sectional profile of the mounting hole 2331 along the insertion direction of the electrode 221 includes, but is not limited to, a triangle, quadrilateral, pentagon, circle, or other regular or irregular shapes. In this embodiment, the cross-sectional profile of the mounting hole 2331 is specifically selected as a triangle, which can ensure the structural stability and reliability of the mounting part 233 through the stability of the triangle.

[0064] Optionally, the mounting portion 233 may be connected to one end of the connecting portion 231, for example. Specifically, the mounting portion 233, the connecting portion 231, and the abutting portion 232 may be integrally formed by sheet metal processing or die casting.

[0065] For example, the electric heating connector assembly 20 also includes conductive adhesive 25. The conductive adhesive 25 is disposed within the mounting hole 2331 and connects the mounting portion 233 and the electrode 221. Thus, the electrode 221 is securely connected to the mounting portion 233 via the conductive adhesive 25, ensuring stable and reliable electrical contact between the conductive element 23 and the electrode 221. Furthermore, it facilitates the later disassembly and reassembly of the conductive element 23 and the first electrical connector 22, thereby enabling individual replacement of the conductive element 23.

[0066] Optionally, the conductive adhesive 25 may employ conductive fillers, matrix resins, solvents and diluents, and functional additives, such as silver-epoxy conductive adhesives and graphene-silver hybrid conductive adhesives, which can be selected according to actual needs. The conductive adhesive 25 serves as the "invisible joint" of the electric heating connector assembly 20, improving reliability, reducing costs, and enhancing environmental adaptability.

[0067] To increase the electrical contact area between the electrode 221 and the mounting portion 233, the electrode 221 may be L-shaped or other shapes, including but not limited to. Alternatively, the electrode 221 may be configured as two separate parts 2211, which may be arranged at an angle, for example. Both parts 2211 pass through the mounting hole 2331 and are fixedly connected to the mounting portion 233 by conductive adhesive 25. Accordingly, two conductive adhesives 25 are provided, with each of the two parts 2211 corresponding to one of them. Each part 2211 is fixedly connected to the mounting portion 233 by its corresponding conductive adhesive 25.

[0068] Please see Figures 4 to 6 For example, the electric heating connector assembly 20 also includes a sealing cap 26. Both mounting portions 233 are connected to the sealing cap 26, which is located on the side of the mounting portions 233 opposite to the first electrical connector 22. In this way, the sealing cap 26 can improve the connection stability between the two conductive elements 23 and the first electrical connector 22.

[0069] Specifically, the sealing cap 26 seals the mounting hole 2331. The sealing cap 26 has two protrusions 261, which are installed in the two mounting holes 2331 in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0070] For example, the support shell has an insertion port 212 at the end facing the first electrical connector 22, and a clearance notch 211 extends parallel to the insertion / removal direction of the first electrical connector 22 to the end of the support shell facing the first electrical connector 22, communicating with the insertion port 212. The first electrical connector 22 is installed into the support shell through the insertion port 212. Thus, when the first electrical connector 22 is installed into the support shell through the insertion port 212, the conductive component 23 can be simultaneously installed into the clearance notch 211 because the clearance notch 211 is communicating with the insertion port 212; conversely, when the first electrical connector 22 is removed from the support shell through the insertion port 212, the conductive component 23 can be simultaneously removed from the clearance notch 211. Therefore, the first electrical connector 22 and the conductive component 23 are assembled together as a whole, facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the support shell and achieving high assembly and disassembly efficiency.

[0071] For example, the outer wall of the first electrical connector 22 is provided with a flange 222. The flange 222 abuts against the end of the support shell facing the first electrical connector 22 in the insertion direction of the first electrical connector 22. The electric heating connector assembly 20 also includes a connector 27. The flange 222 is connected to the end of the support shell facing the first electrical connector 22 via the connector 27. Thus, after the first electrical connector 22 is inserted into the support shell through the insertion port 212, the flange 222 abuts against the end of the support shell facing the first electrical connector 22 in the insertion direction of the first electrical connector 22, thereby positioning the first electrical connector 22. Furthermore, after the first electrical connector 22 is positioned, the flange 222 is connected and fixed to the end of the support shell via the connector 27.

[0072] It should be noted that the "flanged edge 222" in this embodiment can be "a part of the first electrical connector 22", that is, the "flanged edge 222" is integrally formed with "other parts of the first electrical connector 22"; or it can be an independent component that can be separated from "other parts of the first electrical connector 22", that is, the "flanged edge 222" can be manufactured independently and then combined with "other parts of the first electrical connector 22" to form a whole.

[0073] It should be noted that the insertion direction of the first electrical connector 22 is, for example, as shown in the figure below. Figure 4 As indicated by arrow Z in the diagram.

[0074] Specifically, the connectors 27 include, but are not limited to, one, two, three, or four. In this embodiment, for example, there are four connectors 27. Each of the four corners of one end of the support shell has a mounting hole, and the four mounting holes correspond one-to-one with the four connectors 27. Each corner of the support shell is securely connected to the flange 222 via a connector 27.

[0075] In the process of assembling the electric heating connector assembly 20 onto the glass 10, the two conductive parts 23 are aligned with the opposite ends of the resistance wire, and then the support 21 is bonded and fixed to the glass 10, ensuring that the two conductive parts 23 are tightly abutted against the opposite ends of the resistance wire. When the resistance wire needs to be replaced due to problems such as elasticity failure or aging, the connector 27 is removed, and the first electrical connector 22 is pulled out from the support shell. Simultaneously, the conductive parts 23 are separated from the support shell. Then, the conductive parts 23 installed on the first electrical connector 22 can be replaced. The disassembly and assembly operation is convenient, the work efficiency is high, and the entire process does not cause any damage to the glass 10.

[0076] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 For example, the electric heating connector assembly 20 also includes an electrical connection wire 28. One end of the electrical connection wire 28 is provided with a second electrical connector 281, and the other end of the electrical connection wire 28 is used to connect to a power source. The second electrical connector 281 is plugged into and engaged with the first electrical connector 22.

[0077] For example, when the first electrical connector 22 is a socket, the second electrical connector 281 is correspondingly a plug that mates with the socket; or, when the first electrical connector 22 is a plug, the second electrical connector 281 is a socket that mates with the plug.

[0078] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 For example, the other end of the electrical connection cable 28 is provided with a third electrical connector 282 for connection to a power source. This facilitates connection of the electrical connection cable 28 to a power source. Optionally, the third electrical connector 282 may be, but is not limited to, a plug, a USB connector, etc., as long as it facilitates electrical connection to a power source.

[0079] For example, the outer wall of the second electrical connector 281 is provided with a buckle 2811. When the second electrical connector 281 and the first electrical connector 22 are plugged together, the buckle 2811 and the flange 222 are engaged with each other to ensure the connection stability between the second electrical connector 281 and the first electrical connector 22 and prevent loosening.

[0080] Please see Figure 1In yet another embodiment, this application also provides a means of transportation, which includes, but is not limited to, vehicles, such as automobiles, buses, public buses, trains, airplanes, etc., and includes the glass assembly of any of the above embodiments.

[0081] In the aforementioned vehicle, the support member 21 is fixed to the glass 10, the first electrical connector 22 is detachably mounted on the support member 21, and the conductive element 23 is disposed on the first electrical connector 22. The conductive element 23 is electrically connected to the resistance wire of the glass 10 by abutment. Thus, when the conductive element 23 needs to be replaced due to problems such as poor contact performance, the first electrical connector 22 can be detached from the support member 21, and the conductive element 23 disposed on the first electrical connector 22 will also be detached from the support member 21. Therefore, it is convenient to disassemble the conductive element 23 without replacing the glass 10 at the same time. The replacement of the conductive element 23 will not damage the glass 10, thereby ensuring the defogging and defrosting effect.

Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, the term "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0083] 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.
