Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of glass technology, and in particular to a glass assembly, its forming method, and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] For car windows, taking corner windows as an example, trim pieces are often integrated to enhance the overall quality of the vehicle. These trim pieces include, but are not limited to, trim strips, and more specifically, glossy trim strips. Trim pieces are typically integrated with the corner window using a retrofit method. Retrofitting methods include, but are not limited to, using tape, polyurethane adhesive, clips, and other tooling equipment. Retrofitting trim pieces has the following drawbacks: gaps exist at the joint between the trim piece and the edging; retrofitting requires additional costs for tape, clips, and other accessories, increasing labor costs; retrofitting leads to larger dimensional deviations, and the overall surface and line contours of the assembly are not as good as those of a one-piece injection molded component. Of course, trim pieces and corner windows can also be integrally injection molded using edging material, which can reduce the gap at the joint and lower costs, but the outer side of the trim piece (i.e., the side facing away from the glass) is prone to flash defects. Summary of the Invention

[0021] On the other hand, this application also provides a means of transportation that includes the glass assembly described above.

[0022] In another aspect, this application also provides a method for forming a glass assembly, the method comprising the following steps:

[0023] We provide molding dies, glass, decorative parts, spill containment parts, and edge binding materials;

[0024] The glass, the decorative piece, and the spill-proof piece are placed in the cavity of the molding mold, such that the spill-proof piece is located between the decorative piece and the glass, and is arranged close to the inner edge of the decorative piece, and the spill-proof piece abuts against the decorative piece.

[0025] The edge-binding material, heated to a preset process temperature, is injected into the cavity;

[0026] After the edge-binding material has cooled and solidified, it is demolded.

[0027] In one embodiment, before the step of placing the glass, the decorative element, and the spill-proof element into the cavity of the molding die, the spill-proof element is bonded to the inner side of the decorative element.

[0040] 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.

[0041] As described in the background section, when decorative elements and corner windows are integrally injection molded using edge-sealing material in related technologies, flash is prone to appear on the outer surface of the decorative elements. This problem arises because the manufacturing precision and process level of the decorative elements in related technologies are limited. Before injection molding, the outer surface of the decorative elements typically requires grinding and polishing. This is especially true for decorative elements made of aluminum alloy, which often have an oxide film on their outer surface, which can be removed through grinding and polishing. However, after the outer surface of the decorative element is ground, when the decorative element and glass are placed together in the mold cavity, a gap will exist between the outer surface of the decorative element and the inner wall of the mold cavity. This gap is particularly large for products with significant surface deviations, such as C-shaped decorative elements or more complex shapes. Therefore, during the integral injection molding process, the edge-sealing material overflows through the gap between the inner edge of the decorative element and the surface of the glass, resulting in flash defects on the outer surface of the decorative element.

[0042] For the reasons mentioned above, this application provides a glass assembly, its forming method, and a vehicle, which can avoid the problem of flash on the outer side of the trim.

[0043] See Figure 1 One embodiment of this application provides a glass assembly, which includes, but is not limited to, a corner window assembly, a side window assembly, a sunroof assembly, a rear window assembly, etc. The specific assembly can be set according to actual needs and is not limited here.

[0044] In one specific embodiment, the glass assembly is, for example, a corner window assembly, such as... Figure 1 or Figure 2 As shown.

[0045] Please see Figures 3 to 7Specifically, the glass assembly includes glass 10, a bezel 20, a trim piece 30, and an anti-spill piece 40. The bezel 20 is disposed along the edge of the glass 10 to cover the edge of the glass 10. The trim piece 30 is connected to the bezel 20. The anti-spill piece 40 is disposed between the trim piece 30 and the glass 10, and is located on the side of the bezel 20 near the inner edge 31 of the trim piece 30. The anti-spill piece 40 abuts against the trim piece 30 to prevent the bezel material from overflowing to the outer surface of the trim piece 30 during the injection molding process.

[0046] In this embodiment, the glass 10 serves as the main support, used to mount the edging piece 20 and the decorative piece 30. The glass 10 can be a single piece of glass or laminated glass. Specifically, the glass 10 is a type of laminated glass, which includes at least two pieces of glass 10 stacked together, with an intermediate film layer between adjacent pieces of glass 10.

[0047] This embodiment specifically uses double-layered laminated glass as an example, but it is not a limitation. Double-layered laminated glass includes an outer glass layer, an interlayer film, and an inner glass layer stacked sequentially. After the glass assembly is installed on the vehicle body, the outer glass layer faces the external environment of the vehicle, and the inner glass layer faces the internal environment of the vehicle. The interlayer film is sandwiched between the inner and outer glass layers to bond them together to form the double-layered laminated glass. The material of the interlayer film can be, for example, polyvinyl butyral (PVB), ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), or ionomer polymer film (SGP). Of course, the interlayer film can also have other functions, such as providing at least one tinted area as a shaded zone to reduce sunlight interference with the human eye, or adding infrared absorbers to provide sun protection or heat insulation functions.

[0048] Optionally, the material of the edge banding 20 may include, but is not limited to, PU, ​​TPE, PVC or EPDM, etc. The specific material can be flexibly selected and set according to actual needs, and is not limited here.

[0049] Optionally, the decorative element 30 in this embodiment includes, but is not limited to, a decorative strip, more specifically, a bright decorative strip.

[0050] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the inner edge 31 of the ornament 30 refers to the edge of the ornament 30 that is close to the center of the glass 10; the outer edge 32 of the ornament 30 refers to the other edge of the ornament 30, that is, the edge of the ornament 30 that is far away from the center of the glass 10.

[0051] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the outer side of the decorative piece 30 refers to the side of the decorative piece 30 that faces away from the edging piece 20, and the inner side of the decorative piece 30 refers to the side of the decorative piece 30 that faces the edging piece 20. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the outer surface of the decorative piece 30 refers to the side of the decorative piece 30 that faces away from the edging piece 20, i.e., the outer appearance surface of the decorative piece 30; the inner surface of the decorative piece 30 is correspondingly the other side of the decorative piece 30, i.e., the side of the decorative piece 30 that faces the edging piece 20. The inner surface of the decorative piece 30 is connected to the edging piece 20.

[0052] In this embodiment, the material of the ornament 30 can be either a metallic material or a non-metallic material. When the ornament 30 is made of a metallic material, it specifically includes, but is not limited to, any one or more combinations of aluminum alloy, stainless steel, iron, and copper.

[0053] In this embodiment, the shape of the ornament 30 includes, but is not limited to, a C-shape (such as...). Figure 1 (as shown), L-shaped, rectangular, and straight (such as) Figure 2 Regular shapes (as shown) and various other irregular shapes can be flexibly adjusted and set according to actual needs, and are not limited here.

[0054] The aforementioned glass assembly, with an anti-overflow element 40 between the inner edge 31 of the trim 30 and the glass 10, and the anti-overflow element 40 located on the side of the edge-sealing part 20 near the inner edge 31 of the trim 30, abuts against the trim 30. This prevents the edge-sealing material from overflowing to the outer surface of the trim 30 during injection molding, thus achieving the requirement of no flash during edge-sealing injection molding. Furthermore, the trim 30, glass 10, anti-overflow element 40, and edge-sealing part 20 are integrally injection molded, which, compared to post-assembly methods in related technologies, improves production efficiency and yield, and saves on the installation accessories required for post-assembly methods, thereby reducing costs.

[0055] For example, the anti-spill member 40 extends along the length of the trim 30. Specifically, the anti-spill member 40 extends from one end of the trim 30 to the other, that is, the inner edge 31 of each part of the trim 30 along its length abuts against the anti-spill member 40. In this way, it can effectively prevent the appearance of burrs on the outer surface of each part of the trim 30 along its length.

[0056] For example, the anti-overflow component 40 abuts against the outer surface of the glass 10. Specifically, the anti-overflow component 40 abuts against the outer surface of the glass 10 at all points along the length of the trim 30. That is, the side of the anti-overflow component 40 away from the trim 30 abuts against the outer surface of the glass 10. Since the anti-overflow component 40 also abuts against the trim 30, it effectively seals the gap between the inner edge 31 of the trim 30 and the outer surface of the glass 10. This prevents the edge trimming material from overflowing through the gap between the inner edge 31 of the trim 30 and the outer surface of the glass 10 during the injection molding process, thus achieving a better sealing effect, effectively avoiding flash problems, and improving the product's appearance quality.

[0057] It should be noted that the outer side of glass 10 refers to the side of glass 10 that is closest to the external environment; conversely, the inner side of glass 10 refers to the side of glass 10 that is closest to the internal environment.

[0058] Specifically, the anti-spill component 40 is located on the side opposite to the decorative component 30 and is either in contact with or interferes with the outer surface of the glass 10.

[0059] In one embodiment, the anti-overflow element 40 is specifically an elastic element. The elastic element is, for example, a rubber or plastic element. Furthermore, the elastic element is in a compressed state. Thus, the elastic element interferes with the outer surface of the glass 10, and also interferes with the trim 30. This prevents the edge trim material from overflowing through the gap between the inner edge 31 of the trim 30 and the outer surface of the glass 10 during the injection molding process, thereby achieving a better sealing effect and effectively avoiding flash problems.

[0060] Of course, as some alternative solutions, the difference from the above embodiments is that the anti-spill member 40 can also be a non-elastic member. The anti-spill member 40 can simply be attached to the glass 10 without interference. The anti-spill member 40 can also be attached to the decorative member 30 without interference.

[0061] Of course, as some alternative solutions, the difference from the above embodiment is that the anti-overflow component 40 does not need to abut against the glass 10, but rather has a gap, for example. During the injection molding process of the glass assembly, the anti-overflow component 40 can abut against the inner wall of the cavity through the molding mold 50, thereby sealing the gap between the anti-overflow component 40 and the glass 10 and preventing the edge trimming material from overflowing through the gap between the anti-overflow component 40 and the glass 10. Furthermore, since the anti-overflow component 40 abuts against the inner edge 31 of the trim 30, a better sealing effect can be achieved, effectively avoiding the problem of flash.

[0062] For example, the spill prevention component 40 may include, but is not limited to, spill prevention plates or spill prevention blocks.

[0063] For example, the thickness of the spill preventer 40 refers to the distance between the side of the spill preventer 40 closest to the center of the glass 10 and the side furthest from the center of the glass 10. Figure 3 or Figure 5 As shown, the thickness of the anti-overflow component 40 is represented by d. Optionally, 2mm ≤ d ≤ 5mm. Specifically, d is, for example, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, or 5mm. Thus, when the thickness d of the anti-overflow component 40 is greater than 5mm, the anti-overflow component 40 occupies a large space, while the edge-sealing component 20 occupies a small space, resulting in insufficient adhesion between the decorative component 30 and the edge-sealing component 20, leading to lower stability. When the thickness d of the anti-overflow component 40 is less than 2mm, during the injection molding process, the anti-overflow component 40 cannot withstand the pressure of the edge-sealing material and is easily washed away by the edge-sealing material, resulting in reduced anti-overflow capability and reduced sealing effect.

[0064] Of course, as some optional options, d can also be set to any value less than 2mm or greater than 5mm. The specific value can be flexibly adjusted and set according to actual needs, and no limitation is made here.

[0065] Please see Figure 3 or Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, at least a portion of the anti-overflow element 40 is located inside the trim 30, and the anti-overflow element 40 abuts against the inner surface of the trim 30. Thus, the anti-overflow element 40 has a better sealing effect, effectively preventing the edge material from overflowing during the glass assembly injection molding process and avoiding flash defects.

[0066] For example, please refer to Figure 3 All of the anti-overflow components 40 are located inside the trim 30. The distance between the inner edge 31 of the trim 30 and the glass 10 is S. Optionally, 0.5 ≤ S ≤ 2 mm. Specifically, S is, for example, 0.5 mm, 1 mm, 1.5 mm, or 2 mm. Thus, when the distance S is greater than 2 mm, during the injection molding process, the anti-overflow component 40 cannot withstand the pressure of the edge material and is easily washed away by the edge material, resulting in reduced anti-overflow capability and reduced sealing effect.

[0067] Of course, as some optional options, the spacing S can also be set to any value less than 0.5mm and greater than 2mm. The specific value can be flexibly adjusted and set according to actual needs, and there are no restrictions here.

[0068] For example, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5At least a portion of the anti-overflow element 40 is located inside the trim 30, and the anti-overflow element 40 abuts against the inner surface of the trim 30. Another portion of the anti-overflow element 40 is located outside the trim 30 and abuts against the outer surface of the trim 30. That is, the anti-overflow element 40 covers the inner edge 31 of the trim 30 and is disposed along the inner edge 31 of the trim 30. Thus, during the injection molding process of the glass assembly, the anti-overflow element 40 abuts against the inner wall of the mold cavity 50, providing a good sealing effect and effectively preventing the edge trimming material from overflowing to the outer surface of the trim 30, thereby avoiding flash defects.

[0069] Based on the foregoing embodiments, please continue to refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The distance between the inner edge 31 of the decorative element 30 and the glass 10 is S. Optionally, 1mm ≤ S ≤ 5mm. Specifically, S is, for example, 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, or 5mm. Thus, when the distance S is less than 1mm, the anti-overflow element 40 cannot be manufactured; when the distance S is greater than 5mm, during the injection molding process, the anti-overflow element 40 cannot withstand the pressure of the edge material and is easily washed away by the edge material, resulting in reduced anti-overflow capability and reduced sealing effect. Furthermore, the size of the anti-overflow element 40 is correspondingly large, and there are marks on the appearance when it shrinks.

[0070] Of course, as some optional options, the spacing S can also be set to any value less than 1mm and greater than 5mm. The specific value can be flexibly adjusted and set according to actual needs, and there are no restrictions here.

[0071] Based on the foregoing embodiments, please continue to refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 Along the direction from the inner edge 31 to the outer edge 32 of the ornament 30, the length of the anti-spill member 40 covering the inner surface of the ornament 30 is L1. Optionally, L1 ≥ 2mm. Specifically, L1 is, for example, 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 3.5mm, 4mm, or 5mm. Thus, when L1 < 2mm, the anti-spill adhesive strength is weakened, and when the anti-spill member 40 is bonded to the inner surface of the ornament 30, the adhesive strength is insufficient, and the anti-spill member 40 is prone to falling off.

[0072] For details, please continue reading Figure 4 and Figure 5 The spill-proof component 40 includes a first covering portion 41. The first covering portion 41 covers the inner side of the ornament 30. The first covering portion 41 is also the part of the spill-proof component 40 that covers the inner side of the ornament 30. Along the direction from the inner edge 31 to the outer edge 32 of the ornament 30, the length of the first covering portion 41 is L1, and the length covering the inner side of the ornament 30 is correspondingly L1.

[0073] Based on the foregoing embodiments, please continue to refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5Along the direction from the inner edge 31 to the outer edge 32 of the ornament 30, the length of the anti-overflow member 40 covering the outer side of the ornament 30 is L2. Optionally, 1mm ≤ L2 ≤ 3mm. Specifically, L2 is, for example, 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, or 3mm. Thus, when the length L2 < 1mm, it will not be able to cover the outer side of the ornament 30, and the anti-overflow effect will be insufficient; when the length L2 > 3mm, the length of the portion of the anti-overflow member 40 covering the outer side of the ornament 30 is too large, and the clamping force of the anti-overflow member 40 is insufficient, which makes it easy for the portion of the anti-overflow member 40 covering the outer side of the ornament 30 to form an opening with the outer side of the ornament 30.

[0074] For details, please continue reading Figure 4 and Figure 5 The spill-proof component 40 includes a second covering portion 42. The second covering portion 42 covers the outer side surface of the ornament 30. The second covering portion 42 is also the part of the spill-proof component 40 that covers the outer side surface of the ornament 30. Along the direction from the inner edge 31 to the outer edge 32 of the ornament 30, the length of the second covering portion 42 is L2, and the length covering the outer side surface of the ornament 30 is correspondingly L2.

[0075] The second covering part 42 is connected to the first covering part 41, and the part where the second covering part 42 and the first covering part 41 are connected covers the inner edge 31 of the ornament 30.

[0076] Optionally, the anti-spill component 40 is provided with a slot 43, and the inner edge 31 of the trim component 30 is snapped and fixed in the slot 43. Specifically, the second covering part 42 and the first covering part 41 cooperate to form the slot 43. In this way, during the injection molding process of the glass assembly, the anti-spill component 40 can be fixedly installed on the trim component 30 by snapping, which can stably install on the trim component 30, resist the pressure of the edge material, and will not be washed away or displaced by the edge material, thereby improving the quality of the finished product. Furthermore, the anti-spill component 40 can also be bonded to the trim component 30, for example, to further improve the stability of the anti-spill component 40 on the trim component 30, and has good anti-spill adhesive performance, effectively avoiding flash defects.

[0077] In another embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 Similar to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In the example shown, the length of the anti-spill member 40 covering the inner surface of the trim 30 along the direction from the inner edge 31 to the outer edge 32 of the trim 30 is L1. Optionally, L1 ≥ 2mm. Specifically, L1 is, for example, 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 3.5mm, 4mm, or 5mm. Thus, when L1 < 2mm, the anti-spill adhesive strength is weakened, and the adhesive strength is insufficient when the anti-spill member 40 is bonded to the inner surface of the trim 30, making it easy for the anti-spill member 40 to fall off.

[0078] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 or Figure 4 and Figure 5 The anti-overflow component 40 is bonded to the trim component 30. Specifically, the anti-overflow component 40 is bonded to the inner surface of the trim component 30. Thus, before the glass assembly is injection molded, the anti-overflow component 40 and the trim component 30 can be bonded together. During the glass assembly injection molding process, the anti-overflow component 40 has high stability and can effectively block the edge material, preventing flash. Furthermore, the anti-overflow component 40 is bonded and fixed to the trim component 30, preventing displacement, thereby not only improving molding efficiency but also improving the quality of the finished product.

[0079] Optionally, the spill prevention component 40 and the decorative component 30 may be connected by adhesive, solid glue or tape, etc., depending on the actual needs, and are not limited here.

[0080] For example, the Shore hardness of the spill protector 40 is, but is not limited to, 50HA to 80HD. Specifically, the Shore hardness of the spill protector 40 may be, for example, 50HA, 55HA, 60HA, 65HA, 70HA, 75HA, 90HA, 100HA, 30HD, 40HD, 50HD, 60HD, 70HD, or 80HD, etc., which can be flexibly adjusted and set according to actual needs, and are not limited here. When the Shore hardness of the spill protector 40 is less than 50HA, during the injection molding process, the spill protector 40 cannot withstand the pressure of the edge material and is easily washed away by the edge material, resulting in reduced spill protection and reduced sealing effect; when the Shore hardness of the spill protector 40 is greater than 80HD, the sealing performance between the spill protector 40 and the trim 30 is reduced.

[0081] Of course, as some optional solutions, the Shore hardness of the anti-spill component 40 can also be set to any value, such as less than 50HA and greater than 80HD. The specific value can be flexibly adjusted and set according to actual needs, and no limitation is made here.

[0082] In another embodiment, this application also provides a vehicle that includes the glass assembly of any of the above embodiments.

[0083] In the aforementioned vehicle, an anti-overflow element 40 is provided between the inner edge 31 of the trim 30 and the glass 10. The anti-overflow element 40 is located on the side of the edge-sealing part 20 near the inner edge 31 of the trim 30, and abuts against the trim 30. This prevents the edge-sealing material from overflowing to the outer surface of the trim 30 during the injection molding process, thus achieving the requirement of no flash during edge-sealing injection molding. Furthermore, the trim 30, glass 10, anti-overflow element 40, and edge-sealing part 20 are integrally injection molded. Compared to the post-assembly method in related technologies, this improves production efficiency and yield, and saves on the installation accessories required by the post-assembly method, thereby reducing costs.

[0084] Please see Figures 3 to 7 In yet another embodiment, this application also provides a method for forming a glass assembly, the method comprising the following steps:

[0085] Step S100: Provide molding die 50 (e.g.) Figure 6 (as shown), glass 10, decorative parts 30, spill-proof parts 40, and edging material;

[0086] Step S200: Place the glass 10, the decorative piece 30 and the spill prevention piece 40 into the cavity of the molding mold 50, such that the spill prevention piece 40 is located between the decorative piece 30 and the glass 10, and is arranged close to the inner edge 31 of the decorative piece 30, and the spill prevention piece 40 abuts against the decorative piece 30.

[0087] Step S300: Inject the edge-binding material heated to the preset process temperature into the mold cavity;

[0088] It should be noted that the preset process temperature is set according to the actual needs of the tool and is not limited here, as long as it can soften the edge binding material.

[0089] Step S400: After the edge trim material has cooled and solidified, demolding is performed.

[0090] Among them, after the edge binding material is cooled and formed, the edge binding material is formed accordingly to obtain the edge binding part 20.

[0091] The aforementioned glass assembly molding method, by incorporating an anti-overflow element 40 between the trim 30 and the glass 10, and with the anti-overflow element 40 located on the side of the edge-sealing element 20 near the inner edge 31 of the trim 30, and abutting against the trim 30, prevents the edge-sealing material from overflowing onto the outer surface of the trim 30 during injection molding, thus achieving the requirement of no flash during edge-sealing injection molding. Furthermore, the integrated injection molding of the trim 30, glass 10, anti-overflow element 40, and edge-sealing element 20, compared to post-assembly methods in related technologies, improves production efficiency and yield, and saves on the installation accessories required for post-assembly methods, thereby reducing costs.

[0092] For example, before placing the glass 10, the trim 30 and the spill preventer 40 into the cavity of the molding die 50, the spill preventer 40 is bonded to the inner side of the trim 30.

[0093] For example, before placing the glass 10, the decorative piece 30 and the spill preventer 40 into the cavity of the molding die 50, the spill preventer 40 is provided with a slot 43, and the inner edge 31 of the decorative piece 30 is snapped and fixed in the slot 43.

[0094] In some embodiments, the spill guard 40 abuts against the molding die 50. That is, the spill guard 40 is not connected to the molding die 50. Therefore, after the demolding process, the spill guard 40 can be separated from the molding die 50, and the spill guard 40, the edging piece 20, the decorative piece 30, and the glass 10 are an integrated structure.

[0095] Of course, in other embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The anti-overflow component 40 can, for example, be fixed to the molding die 50. In other words, the "anti-overflow component 40" can be "part of the molding die 50," meaning the "anti-overflow component 40" is integrally molded with "other parts of the molding die 50"; or it can be a separate component that can be separated from "other parts of the molding die 50," meaning the "anti-overflow component 40" can be manufactured independently and then combined with "other parts of the molding die 50" to form a whole. Furthermore, during the step of placing the glass 10, the decorative element 30, and the anti-overflow component 40 into the cavity of the molding die 50, the anti-overflow component 40 abuts against the inner edge 31 of the decorative element 30. The anti-overflow component 40 serves a sealing function, preventing the edge trimming material from overflowing to the outer surface of the decorative element 30 and causing flash defects.

[0096] Please continue reading. Figure 6 and Figure 7 For example, the edging piece 20 is recessed relative to the outer surface of the trim piece 30 at the portion between the inner edge 31 of the trim piece 30 and the glass 10. That is, a gap space is provided between the inner edge 31 of the trim piece 30 and the glass 10. During the injection molding process of the glass assembly, this gap space is occupied by the inner wall of the cavity of the molding mold 50. Therefore, the edging material will not flow into this gap space, so that after the molding mold 50 is demolded, the gap space is formed between the inner edge 31 of the trim piece 30 and the glass 10.

[0097] Optionally, the portion of the edging piece 20 corresponding to the inner edge 31 of the trim piece 30 between the glass 10 and the outer surface of the trim piece 30 is recessed by an amount P. The amount P is not limited to 0.8mm to 2mm, specifically such as 0.8mm, 1mm, 1.2mm, 1.4mm, 1.5mm, 1.6mm, 1.8mm or 2mm.

[0098] Based on the foregoing embodiments, please continue to refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The distance between the inner edge 31 of the trim 30 and the glass 10 is S. Optionally, S ≥ 1 mm. Specifically, S is, for example, 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm, or 5 mm. Thus, when the distance S is less than 1 mm, the anti-spill member 40 cannot be installed between the inner edge 31 of the trim 30 and the glass 10.

[0099] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0100] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
