Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of functional design technology for vehicle glass, and in particular to the end assembly of the bright trim strip, the trim strip assembly and the window glass assembly. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, to improve vehicle appearance and reduce wind resistance, many vehicles use flush or near-flush trim on their glass assemblies. For example, in corner window assemblies, the corner window seal can connect the glass and the trim; the surface of the corner window seal is typically flush to increase the light transmission area of ​​the corner window.

[0003] In related technologies, bright trim strips are typically made in one piece and stamped. However, at the end of the bright trim strip, three sides meet the end face. Due to the limitations of stamping, the side wall height of the bright trim strip cannot be designed too high. If the side wall height exceeds 5mm, molding defects are likely to occur, affecting the appearance. Therefore, the actual side wall height of the bright trim strip can only be made relatively low, resulting in the side wall not being able to abut against the rubber strip, causing the edge of the bright trim strip's side wall to protrude, or the contact area to be very small. Over time, this will also lead to the edge of the bright trim strip's side protruding. Furthermore, because the end side wall height is low, there is insufficient space within the end to install a window breaker. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a bright trim end component, trim assembly, and window glass assembly to address at least some of the problems in the related technologies.

[0005] According to a first aspect of this application, a bright trim strip end assembly is provided for connection to a bright trim strip body. The bright trim strip end assembly includes an end body and a connector. The end body includes a first body and a second body connected to each other. At least a portion of the second body is connected to the side edge of the first body. The first body is spaced apart from the glass body of the vehicle window glass. The first body is detachably connected to one end of the bright trim strip body via the connector. The second body is used to abut against the edging piece of the vehicle window glass.

[0006] According to a second aspect of this application, a bright trim strip body and the bright trim strip end assembly described in the above embodiments are provided.

[0007] According to a third aspect of this application, a vehicle window glass assembly is provided, including a glass body and a bright trim strip end assembly as described in the above embodiments; the edge trim is provided to wrap around at least a portion of the edge of the glass body.

[0008] The aforementioned bright trim end assembly, trim assembly, and window glass assembly, when the first body and the bright trim body are detachably connected, allow the bright trim body to be detachably connected to the end body. This avoids the situation where the bright trim body and the end body are stamped and integrally formed at the same time, which would result in insufficient height of the end body. The end body can be formed by non-stamping, thereby ensuring that the design height of the side wall of the end body is high enough to ensure that the lower edge of the side wall of the end body is hidden in the edge trim, thus improving the appearance performance of the side wall of the bright trim end assembly.

[0009] Furthermore, since the end body is formed separately, the bright trim body can be stamped to make its sidewall the same height as the end body sidewall, which can ensure that the entire lower edge of the sidewall of the trim assembly is hidden in the edging piece, thereby ensuring the appearance performance of the trim assembly.

[0010] In addition, the contact between the end body and the edge banding allows the flexible nature of the edge banding to provide a certain impact buffer for the end body, thereby helping to protect the end body from impact damage and reducing the probability of impact damage to the end body.

[0025] 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.

[0026] One aspect of this application, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4As shown, a trim assembly is provided, including a bright trim end assembly 100 and a bright trim body 200. The bright trim end assembly 100 is used to connect to the bright trim body 200. The bright trim end assembly 100 includes an end body 110 and a connector 120.

[0027] like Figure 5 As shown, the end body 110 includes a first body 111 and a second body 112 connected together. At least a portion of the second body 112 is connected to the side edge of the first body 111. The first body 111 is spaced apart from the edge trim 300 of the vehicle window glass, and the second body 112 is connected between the first body 111 and the edge trim 300. The first body 111 is detachably connected to one end of the bright trim body 200 via a connector 120.

[0028] Understandably, when the first body 111 is detachably connected to the bright trim body 200 via a connector, the bright trim body 200 can be detachably connected to the end body 110. This avoids the situation where the end body 110 is not tall enough when the bright trim body 200 and the end body 110 are stamped together. That is, when the end body 110 is stamped together, the three sides of the end body 110 intersect with the end face. If the height is designed too high, it will cause appearance defects such as material extrusion. Therefore, by setting the end body 110 and the bright trim body 200 separately, the end body 110 does not need to be set together as a whole. The end body 110 can be formed by injection molding or other non-stamping molding methods, ensuring that the design height of the end body 110 (second body 112) is high enough to ensure that the lower edge of the side wall of the end body 110 is hidden inside the edge banding 300, thereby improving the appearance performance of the side wall of the bright trim end assembly 100.

[0029] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, since the end body 110 is formed separately, the bright trim body 200 can be formed by stamping so that its sidewall reaches the same height as the sidewall of the end body 110, which can ensure that the entire lower edge of the sidewall of the trim assembly 10 is hidden in the edge banding 300, thereby ensuring the appearance performance of the trim assembly 10.

[0030] In addition, the end body 110 abuts against the edge banding 300, which allows the edge banding 300 to provide a certain impact buffer for the end body 110 through its flexibility, thereby helping to protect the end body 110 from impact damage and reducing the probability of the end body 110 being damaged by impact.

[0031] It should be noted that the side edge of the first body 111 refers to the edge position used to define the first body 111. If the first body 111 is arranged in a plate shape, then the side edge of the first body 111 is the position of the connecting edge on the plate of the first body 111.

[0032] In another example, along the length direction X of the bright trim strip body 200, the first body 111 and the edge trim 300 are spaced apart.

[0033] Furthermore, in some embodiments, see back Figure 2 as well as Figure 5 The edge binding 300 is detachably connected to the second body 112. This allows the end body 110 to be detached from the bright trim body 200 and the edge binding 300, which improves the detachment and assembly performance of the end body 110.

[0034] Furthermore, in one embodiment, combined with Figure 2 as well as Figure 4 As shown, the bright trim strip end assembly 100 also includes a window breaker 130. The window breaker 130 is connected to the end body 110. Since the end body 110 and the bright trim strip body 200 are separate, the side wall height is ensured, so that there is enough space inside the end body 110 to place the window breaker 130. In an emergency, the bright trim strip end body 110 can be detached for window breaking. Since the window breaker 130 is connected to the end body 110, the end body 110 can serve as a handle for holding the window breaker 130.

[0035] Understandably, when an emergency window breaking situation occurs, the bright trim body 200 and the end body 110 can be disassembled, and the end body 110 can be disassembled from the edge banding 300, thereby separating the end body 110 from the bright trim body 200 and the edge banding 300. The window breaking component 130 connected to the end body 110 can be used for emergency window breaking.

[0036] When there is no need for emergency window breaking, the end body 110 can be assembled to the bright trim body 200 and the edge trim 300, improving assembly efficiency. At the same time, since the bright trim body 200 and the end body 110 are not integrally formed and are relatively fixedly connected, the difficulty of setting up the bright trim body 200 and the end body 110 is reduced, which helps to improve the processing efficiency of the bright trim end assembly 100.

[0037] It should be noted that the window breaker 130 can refer to a component with a sharp point. In one example, the window breaker 130 can be a push-button window breaker. Specifically, the window breaker 130 includes a mounting housing 131, a spring 132, a trigger sleeve 133, a ball bearing, and a striking pin 134. The mounting housing 131 is used to mount the spring 132 and the trigger sleeve 133. The striking pin 134 is connected to the spring 132. The two ends of the spring 132 are respectively compressed and mounted on the spring 132 seat of the striking pin 134 and the spring 132 shoulder provided in the mounting housing 131. The trigger sleeve 133 is axially slidably disposed in the mounting housing 131. The ball bearing is engaged with the mounting housing 131. When the trigger sleeve 133 is in the initial position, it presses the ball bearing part into the annular locking groove at the rear end of the striking pin 134, thereby locking the striking pin 134 and the energy storage spring 132 in a compressed and energy-storing state.

[0038] When the window breaker is needed, the breaking head of the window breaker 130 is placed vertically against the surface of the glass to be broken, and pressure is applied towards the glass. This pressure is transmitted through the main housing, driving the entire mounting housing 131 to move forward relative to the locked striker 134, which in turn causes the trigger sleeve 133 to move backward. When the release groove on its inner wall moves to align with the locking ball, the ball loses its radial constraint and moves radially outward under the pressure of the striker 134, thereby disengaging from the annular locking groove of the striker 134.

[0039] The ball bearing dislodges, and the elastic potential energy stored in the compressed energy storage spring 132 is released instantaneously, converting into enormous kinetic energy of the striking pin 134, driving the striking pin 134 to impact the glass surface at extremely high speed. Due to the extremely small contact area at the tip of the striking pin 134, a local pressure far exceeding its bearing limit is generated on the glass surface, causing the glass to break and thus opening an escape route.

[0040] In another example, the window breaker 130 could also be a hammer, etc.

[0041] For ease of subsequent understanding, the following section will refer to another aspect of this application. Figure 1 A vehicle window glass assembly is provided, including a bright trim end assembly 100, an edge trim 300, and a glass body 400. The edge trim 300 is configured to cover at least a portion of the edge of the glass body 400.

[0042] Thus, by providing the bright trim end assembly 100 in the above embodiments, it is beneficial to improve the structural stability of the bright trim end assembly 100, thereby improving the structural stability of the vehicle window glass assembly.

[0043] It should be noted that the glass body 400 can be a corner window, door window, rear window, or front window, etc. In one example, the glass body 400 is a corner window. Furthermore, in one example scenario, the corner window can correspond to the corner window of the rear door of the vehicle.

[0044] In one embodiment, the surface of the edge banding 300 is planar. This ensures that the edge banding 300 achieves a flush effect, which helps improve the appearance and reduces the risk of unevenness affecting wind resistance.

[0045] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 as well as Figure 6 As shown, the bright trim strip body 200 and the glass body 400 are spaced apart along the thickness direction Z of the glass body 400. The edging piece 300 connects the bright trim strip body 200 and the glass body 400.

[0046] It should be noted that the bright trim strip body 200 and the glass body 400 are spaced apart, meaning that the surface of the bright trim strip body 200 facing the glass body 400 is spaced apart from the glass body 400, and the edging piece 300 is disposed on the surfaces of the glass body 400 and the bright trim strip body 200 facing the glass body 400, so that the edging piece 300 connects the glass body 400 and the bright trim strip body 200.

[0047] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 as well as Figure 6 As shown, the window breaker 130 is connected to the side of the end body 110 facing the glass body 400. Thus, while the side of the end body 110 facing the glass body 400 corresponds to the outer side of the vehicle, the window breaker 130 can be shielded by the end body 110, ensuring it is not disturbed by external factors and maintaining the vehicle's appearance.

[0048] In one embodiment, see back Figure 2 The side of the first body 111 that faces away from the glass body 400 is coplanar with the side of the bright trim body 200 that faces away from the glass body 400. This makes the decorative lines of the bright trim body 200 and the end body 110 smoother, improves the appearance of the bright trim end assembly 100 and helps reduce wind resistance.

[0049] In another embodiment, combined with Figure 2 as well as Figure 4 As shown, the window breaker 130 is connected to the side of the end body 110 facing the glass body 400, which helps to avoid the window breaker 130 affecting the appearance of the bright trim end assembly 100, thereby improving the appearance performance of the bright trim end assembly 100.

[0050] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6As shown, the first body 111 is connected to one end of the bright trim body 200 via a connector.

[0051] It is understandable that the bright trim body 200 and the end body 110 are detachably connected by a plug-in connection. Since the plug-in connection provides a larger contact area, it helps to improve the connection stability between the end body 110 and the bright trim body 200.

[0052] The plug-in structure can be a mating structure between the plug hole and the slot 113, or a mating structure between the slot 110a and the slide body, etc., without too many restrictions.

[0053] Furthermore, in one embodiment, combined with Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the connector 120 includes a first connecting body 121 and a second connecting body 122. The first connecting body 121 and the second connecting body 122 are connected to each other. The first connecting body 121 is connected to the side of the bright trim strip body 200 facing the window glass, and the second connecting body 122 protrudes from one end of the bright trim strip body 200. The first body 121 is provided with a slot 110a. The second connecting body 122 is inserted into and engaged with the slot 110a.

[0054] Thus, the first connecting body 121 is connected to the side of the bright trim body 200 facing the glass body 400, which helps to increase the connection area between the first connecting body 121 and the bright trim body 200, thereby improving the connection stability between the two. Furthermore, the insertion and engagement of the second connecting body 122 with the slot 110a reduces the impact on the first connecting body 121 during the insertion and engagement of the second connecting body 122 and the slot 110a, thereby improving the structural stability of the bright trim body 200.

[0055] Furthermore, the first connecting body 121 is connected to the side of the bright trim body 200 facing the glass body 400, which helps to reduce the step height difference between the bright trim body 200 and the end trim when the second connecting body 122 and the slot 110a are inserted and engaged, thereby helping to achieve a flush setting between the bright trim body 200 and the end body 110, thereby improving the appearance performance of the bright trim end assembly 100.

[0056] In some embodiments, see back Figure 8 The first connecting body 121 and the second connecting body 122 are rotatably connected. The first connecting body 121 and the second connecting body 122 can rotate between at least a first included angle and a second included angle.

[0057] Understandably, during manufacturing and assembly, components such as glass, edging, and trim inevitably have minor dimensional tolerances and form deviations. Traditional rigid interlocking structures may suffer from assembly difficulties, uneven gaps, or even be impossible to install due to these errors.

[0058] In this embodiment, the rotatable configuration of the first connecting body 121 and the second connecting body 122 allows the end body 110 to be inserted into the second connecting body 122 when it is engaged. This is achieved by pressing against either the end body 110 or the second connecting body 122, allowing one of them, the second connecting body 122 or the connected end body 110, to adaptively adjust within a certain angular range. This compensates for the accumulated tolerances of other parts, eliminating the need for extremely high precision in aligning the end body 110 to the insertion point. Only approximate alignment is required, and after contact, rotation guides the end body 110 to the connection position with the edge trim 300. This simplifies the assembly operation of the end body 110 within the edge trim 300, ensuring smooth assembly of the slot 110a and the second connecting body 122 and improving assembly efficiency.

[0059] Accordingly, when the end body 110 is removed from the bright trim body 200, the end body 110 can be rotated relative to the bright trim body 200 so that the end body 110 can avoid the obstruction of other parts, making it easier to remove the end body 110 from the bright trim body 200 and improving the removal efficiency.

[0060] It should be noted that the rotatable connection between the first connecting body 121 and the second connecting body 122 can be achieved, but is not limited to, through a rotating shaft, or through a connecting rod or a rotatable structure such as a bending setting.

[0061] In one embodiment, see back Figure 6 as well as Figure 8 The second connecting body 122 is provided with an elastic part. The second connecting body 122 is elastically connected to the first connecting body 121 through the elastic part, so that the first connecting body 121 and the second connecting body 122 can rotate and switch between at least between a first included angle and a second included angle.

[0062] Combination Figure 2 as well as Figure 5 As shown, when the first connecting body 121 and the second connecting body 122 are at a first included angle, the second body 112 and the edge banding 300 are spaced apart. Figure 6 As shown, when the first connecting body 121 and the second connecting body 122 are at a second included angle, the second body 112 can be connected to the edge banding 300.

[0063] To facilitate understanding, the installation process of the second connecting body 122 and the end body 110 will be explained below using an installation scenario as an example.

[0064] When the second connecting body 122 needs to be installed onto the end body 110, the slot 110a is inserted into the second connecting body 122. The slot 110a can abut against the second connecting body 122. An operator or robot can press the end body 110 in the direction close to the glass body 400 to drive the second connecting body 122 to switch from the first angle to the second angle relative to the first connecting body 121, so that the end body 110 can be connected to and relatively fixed with the edge trim 300, thereby fixing the end body 110 to the edge trim 300 and the bright trim body 200. At this time, the elastic part is in a compressed state.

[0065] When it is necessary to remove the end body 110 from the bright trim body 200, the end body 110 is detached from the edge banding 300. The elastic part drives the end body 110 to reset, thereby realizing the second connecting body 122 relative to the first connecting body 121 from the second angle to the first angle. Then, the slot 110a and the second connecting body 122 are inserted and separated, and the end body 110 can be separated from the edge banding 300 and the bright trim body 200. The operator can remove the window break 130 through the end body 110.

[0066] Thus, both the edging piece 300 and the bright trim body 200 are detachably connected to the end body 110, which helps to improve the connection strength of the end body 110 and thus improve the installation stability of the end body 110. Furthermore, the elastic part improves the disassembly efficiency between the end body 110 and the bright trim body 200. After separating the end body 110 from the edging piece 300, the end body 110 will automatically rotate upward at a certain angle, making it easier for operators to grasp and separate the end body 110.

[0067] Meanwhile, when the end body 110 is connected to the bright trim body 200, due to the elasticity of the elastic part, the end body 110 can form a certain pre-tightening force on the edge trim 300, which helps to improve the connection strength between the end body 110 and the edge trim 300 and prevents the end body 110 from separating from the edge trim 300.

[0068] Alternatively, in one embodiment, see back Figure 8 and Figure 9 The second connecting body 122 has a protrusion 101 that extends along a first direction. The first body 111 has a groove 113 that guides and engages with the protrusion 101. The first direction is the direction in which the slot 110a and the second connecting body 122 slide into each other.

[0069] The protrusion 101 can be a slot or a protrusion 101, etc., without much restriction.

[0070] Thus, by setting the protrusion 101, the protrusion 101 can limit the movement of the groove 113, improving the accuracy and stability of the groove 113's movement process. This is beneficial to improving the installation alignment accuracy of the slot 110a and the second connecting body 122, thereby improving the installation stability of the end body 110. The fit between the groove 113 and the protrusion 101 can be set with a certain interference fit, making the connection between the end body 110 and the second connecting body 122 more secure, preventing the end body 110 from being thrown out when it bounces upward at a certain angle.

[0071] In one example, the first direction refers to the length direction X of the bright trim strip body 200. In another example, the first direction refers to the vehicle's direction of travel. In yet another example, the vehicle's direction of travel is the length direction X of the bright trim strip body 200.

[0072] In another embodiment, see back Figure 8 The second connecting body 122 also includes a reinforcing rib 102. The reinforcing rib 102 is connected between the first connecting body 121 and the second connecting body 122.

[0073] It is understandable that the structural strength of the connection area between the first connecting body 121 and the second connecting body 122 is low. Based on this, the reinforcing rib 102 is connected between the first connecting body 121 and the second connecting body 122, which helps to disperse the connection stress between the first connecting body 121 and the second connecting body 122, thereby improving the structural stability of the first connecting body 121 and the second connecting body 122.

[0074] In conjunction with any embodiment of the second connecting body 122 described above, see back Figure 5 as well as Figure 8 The second connecting body 122 also includes a positioning boss 103 and an adhesive layer, the adhesive layer being disposed around the positioning boss 103. The positioning boss 103 protrudes from the surface of the first connecting body 121 facing the bright trim body 200. The first connecting body 121 is bonded to the bright trim body 200 via the adhesive layer.

[0075] It is understandable that, since the adhesive layer is set around the positioning boss 103, the height of the positioning boss 103 will be less than or equal to the thickness of the adhesive layer. The setting of the positioning boss 103 ensures the thickness of the adhesive layer, thereby improving the connection strength between the positioning boss 103 and the bright trim body 200.

[0076] Furthermore, the height of the positioning boss 103 determines the final gap between the surface of the first connecting body 121 and the bright trim body 200. This gap can be filled by the adhesive layer. The adhesive layer has a certain elastic space, allowing it to adapt to the gap size, ensuring that the positioning boss 103 and the bright trim body 200 can fully abut, and that the positioning boss 103 and the first connecting body 121 can also fully abut, thus improving the connection strength between the first connecting body 121 and the bright trim body 200.

[0077] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 9 as well as Figure 10 As shown, the slot 110a includes a protrusion 101, at least a portion of which has its inner wall covering the two opposing sides of the second connecting body 122 along the width direction Y of the bright trim body 200. This ensures a tight fit between the inner wall of the protrusion 101 and the two sides of the bright trim body 200, effectively limiting the displacement of the second connecting body 122 in the width direction Y and preventing it from loosening due to vibration or external forces during vehicle operation. Simultaneously, the covering design of the protrusion 101 increases the contact area between the two, further improving the stability and reliability of the connection.

[0078] It should be noted that the insertion structure between the second mounting part and the second insertion part can be a mating structure of the insertion hole and the groove 113, or a mating structure of the concave part and the convex part, etc., without too many restrictions.

[0079] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 as well as Figure 12 As shown, one of the edging piece 300 and the second body 112 is provided with a first abutting protrusion 301, and the other is provided with a second abutting protrusion 110b. When the first body 111 is connected to the bright trim body 200 by a connector, the first abutting protrusion 301 and the second abutting protrusion 110b abut against each other along the thickness direction Z of the bright trim body 200, so that the end body 110 is limited along the thickness direction Z to the edging piece 300.

[0080] Thus, through the abutting engagement of the first abutting protrusion 301 and the second abutting protrusion 110b, the end body 110 is positioned at the upper limit of the edge trim 300 along the thickness direction Z of the bright trim body 200. In other words, when the end body 110 is connected to the edge trim 300, locking can be achieved in two directions, ensuring the installation stability of the end body 110 and the edge trim 300.

[0081] Here, the thickness direction Z refers to the direction that defines the thickness of the bright trim body 200. In one example, the thickness direction Z is set parallel to the direction perpendicular to the surface of the glass body 400.

[0082] To improve the reliability of the connection between the end body 110 and the bright trim body 200, in some embodiments, such as Figure 12 As shown, the bright trim end assembly 100 also includes a locking member 150. The locking member 150 is connected to at least one of the bright trim body 200 and the edging member 300. The end body 110 is also provided with a mating member 114. The locking member 150 and the mating member 114 have a locked state that fixes the locking member 150 and the mating member 114 relatively, and an unlocked state that allows the locking member 150 and the mating member 114 to move relatively.

[0083] When the end body 110 is connected between the edging piece 300 and the bright trim body 200, the locking piece 150 and the mating piece 114 are locked together, and the locking piece 150 and the mating piece 114 are relatively fixed. That is, the relative fixation of the locking piece 150 and the mating piece 114 can lock the end body 110 onto the edging piece 300 or the bright trim body 200, improving the installation stability of the end body 110. At this time, the locking piece 150 can also prevent the bright trim end assembly 100 from being stolen or detached.

[0084] When the locking member 150 and the mating member 114 are in the unlocked state, the locking member 150 and the mating member 114 are separated from each other and can move relative to each other, allowing the end body 110 to be movably positioned relative to the edge trim 300 and the bright trim body 200. That is, the separation and relative movement of the locking member 150 and the mating member 114 allows the end body 110 to move relative to the bright trim body 200, facilitating the disassembly of the end body 110.

[0085] Thus, with at least one of the edge trim 300 and the bright trim body 200 detachably connected to the end body 110, the switching between the unlocked and locked states of the locking part 150 and the mating part 114 helps to improve the installation reliability of the end body 110 and effectively prevents the end body 110 from being easily knocked off.

[0086] Furthermore, as exemplified, the switching between the unlocked and locked states of the locking member 150 and the mating member 114 can be triggered by whether the window-breaking function is required. When window-breaking is not required, the locking member 150 and the mating member 114 are in the locked state; when window-breaking is required, the locking member 150 and the mating member 114 are in the unlocked state.

[0087] It should be noted that the locking component 150 can be a mechanical structure or an electrical switch or other components.

[0088] In one embodiment, see back Figure 12 The bright trim strip body 200 facing the glass and at least one of the edge trim 300 are connected to the locking member 150. The locking member 150 includes an electric switch; the electric switch is electrically connected to the vehicle's power supply, so that the vehicle's power supply can supply power to the sensing part 151 inside the electric switch.

[0089] When the sensing part 151 is powered: when the mating member 114 moves to the sensing part 151, the locking member 150 and the mating member 114 are locked; when the mating member 114 and the sensing part 151 are spaced apart, the locking member 150 and the mating member 114 are unlocked. The sensing part 151 can be a photosensitive element such as a grating, or a magnetic element such as an electromagnetic element.

[0090] Understandably, when the mating part 114 moves to the sensing part 151, the sensing part 151 can sense the presence of the mating part 114, triggering the locking part 150 to fix the mating part 114 relative to each other, thus locking the end body 110 to the edge trim 300 or the bright trim body 200. Correspondingly, when the mating part 114 and the sensing part 151 are spaced apart, the sensing part 151 cannot sense the presence of the mating part 114, and the locking part 150 and the mating part 114 are in an unlocked state, allowing the end body 110 to move relative to the edge trim 300 or the bright trim body 200, thus completing the disassembly of the end body 110.

[0091] Generally, at least one of the bright trim strip body 200 facing the glass and the edge trim 300 is connected to the locking member 150. The locking member 150 is not located on the side of the bright trim strip body 200 facing away from the glass body 400, so that the locking member 150 does not affect the appearance of the bright trim strip end assembly 100, which is conducive to the flush setting of the surfaces of the bright trim strip body 200 and the end body 110. However, when the locking structure of the transmission mechanism is located on at least one of the bright trim strip body 200 facing the glass and the edge trim 300, it may be difficult to find the position of the locking member 150 and the mating member 114, resulting in a scenario where unlocking is difficult.

[0092] Therefore, based on this, the electric switch serves as the locking element 150, which allows the switching between the locked and unlocked states to be achieved by switching the sensing element 151 between power supply and power off, thereby improving the installation reliability of the end body 110 and the ease of disassembly of the end body 110.

[0093] Further, optionally, in one embodiment, see back Figure 12One of the locking member 150 and the mating member 114 is provided with a sliding groove 152, and the other is provided with a plugging protrusion 114a. The sensing part 151 is connected to the inner side wall of the sliding groove 152 or the plugging protrusion 114a. The sliding groove 152 and the plugging protrusion 114a are slidably engaged, so that the mating member 114 can slide between engaging with the sensing part 151 and being spaced apart from the sensing part 151.

[0094] Thus, the sliding engagement between the groove 152 and the insertion protrusion 114a provides a clear path for the sliding of the insertion protrusion 114a, thereby improving the movement stability of the locking member 150 and the mating member 114 when switching between locked and unlocked states. Furthermore, the size of the groove 152 determines the insertion distance of the insertion protrusion 114a. When the operator inserts the insertion protrusion 114a into the groove 152, it cannot move further in the insertion direction when fully inserted. The operator can sense whether the insertion protrusion is installed correctly, which helps ensure that the end body 110 is installed correctly and improves the installation efficiency of the end body 110.

[0095] Furthermore, in one embodiment, see back Figure 11 The insertion protrusion 114a is provided with a first inclined surface structure 114b. Along the second direction, the first inclined surface structure 114b is inclined along the direction close to the inner sidewall of the slide groove 152.

[0096] When the sensing unit 151 is powered, it protrudes from the inner wall of the groove 152, allowing it to engage with the first inclined structure 114b. When the sensing unit 151 is de-powered, the insertion protrusion 114a moves away from the groove 152 (sensing unit 151), causing the sensing unit 151 to be spaced apart from the first inclined structure 114b. The second direction refers to the sliding engagement direction between the groove 152 and the insertion protrusion 114a.

[0097] Understandably, when the sensing part 151 protrudes under power and abuts against the first inclined structure 114b, it exerts a certain force on the insertion protrusion 114a. Due to the inclined arrangement of the first inclined structure 114b, this force is decomposed into components along the second direction and perpendicular to the second direction. The component along the second direction helps to enhance the positioning stability of the insertion protrusion 114a on the first inclined structure 114b, preventing unnecessary sliding or displacement during operation, thereby ensuring the installation stability of the end body 110.

[0098] The component force perpendicular to the second direction will make the insertion protrusion 114a fit more tightly against the inner wall of the slide groove 152, preventing unnecessary sliding or displacement during operation, thereby ensuring the installation stability of the end body 110. When the sensing unit 151 is de-energized and moves away from the insertion protrusion 114a, the sensing unit 151 and the first inclined structure 114b are spaced apart. At this time, the constraint of the insertion protrusion 114a in the slide groove 152 is reduced, allowing for more flexible sliding operation. Furthermore, the first inclined structure 114b can increase the sliding resistance when the insertion protrusion 114a abuts against the first inclined structure 114b, requiring the insertion protrusion 114a to overcome the climbing resistance on the first inclined structure 114b to slide, thereby improving the installation stability of the insertion protrusion 114a in the slide groove 152.

[0099] In one example, the second direction is set in the same direction as the length direction X of the bright trim strip body 200.

[0100] In one embodiment, see back Figure 11 The insertion protrusion 114a also has a second inclined structure 114c, which is disposed on one side of the first inclined structure 114b along the second direction. The second inclined structure 114c can be connected to or spaced apart from the first inclined structure 114b. A locking recess 114d is formed between the first inclined structure 114b and the second inclined structure 114c. When the sliding groove 152 is inserted into the insertion protrusion 114a, the sensing part 151 can engage with the locking recess 114d.

[0101] Understandably, after the insertion protrusion 114a and the slide groove 152 are installed in place, the sensing part 151 is powered, so that the sensing part 151 engages with the locking recess 114d. This can effectively limit the movement range of the insertion protrusion 114a in the slide groove 152, improve the locking stability of the insertion protrusion 114a and the slide groove 152, thereby improving the locking effect and preventing the end body 110 from disengaging due to bumps, vibrations and other factors during vehicle operation.

[0102] Moreover, the second inclined structure 114c can increase the sliding resistance when the plug-in protrusion 114a and the second inclined structure 114c abut against each other, so that the plug-in protrusion 114a needs to overcome the climbing resistance on the second inclined structure 114c to slide, thereby improving the installation stability of the plug-in protrusion 114a in the slide groove 152.

[0103] In another embodiment, such as Figure 11 as well as Figure 12As shown, the sensing unit 151 is provided with a third inclined surface structure 153. Along the second direction, the third inclined surface structure 153 is inclined along the direction close to the inner sidewall of the slide groove 152. When the slide groove 152 is inserted and engaged with the insertion protrusion 114a, the third inclined surface structure 153 can abut and engage with the first inclined surface structure 114b.

[0104] Thus, the contact between the third inclined structure 153 and the first inclined structure 114b can form a guiding effect, making the insertion protrusion 114a more smoothly inserted into the slide groove 152, reducing possible jamming or offset during insertion, and improving the convenience and accuracy of installation.

[0105] Furthermore, the third inclined surface structure 153 is inclined along the direction close to the inner wall of the slide groove 152, which can increase the contact area between the first inclined surface structure 114b and the third inclined surface structure 153, which is conducive to dispersing the contact pressure and avoiding local stress concentration, thereby protecting components such as the sensing part 151, the insertion protrusion 114a and the slide groove 152, and extending their service life.

[0106] In some embodiments, see back Figure 11 and Figure 12 The bright trim end assembly 100 also includes an elastic member 140. One of the two opposite sides of the elastic member 140 is connected to the end body 110, and the other is connected to the edge trim 300 or the locking member 150.

[0107] When the locking member 150 and the mating member 114 are in the locked state, the elastic member 140 is compressed. At this time, because the locking member 150 and the mating member 114 are in the locked state, the end body 110 can be locked to the bright trim body 200.

[0108] When the locking element 150 and the mating element 114 are in the unlocked state, the elastic element 140 resets and causes the locking element 150 and the mating element 114 to move relative to each other, so that the end body 110 can pop out, making it convenient for operators to disassemble and remove the end body 110, reducing the difficulty of removal, improving the efficiency of breaking windows, and meeting the needs of rapid rescue.

[0109] Furthermore, in conjunction with the embodiments of the first connecting body 121 and the second connecting body 122 in the above embodiments, the elastic element 140 resets and drives the locking element 150 and the mating element 114 to move relative to each other. Moreover, through the relative rotation of the first connecting body 121 and the second connecting body 122, the unlocking rear end head body 110 can automatically pop out and tilt up, making it easy to remove the window breaking element 130.

[0110] Furthermore, in one embodiment, see back Figure 11The edging piece 300 is provided with a mounting groove 302 and a limiting protrusion 303. The limiting protrusion 303 protrudes from the inner sidewall of the mounting groove 302. The mounting groove 302 is used to install the elastic member 140, and the limiting protrusion 303 abuts against the elastic member 140.

[0111] Understandably, the edge banding 300 has a certain degree of elasticity. Therefore, connecting the elastic element 140 to the edge banding 300 allows for a larger buffer space when the end body 110 is impacted, thus better protecting the end body 110. Furthermore, the elastic element 140 is installed within the mounting groove 302, allowing it to move within the groove and ensuring its movement accuracy, thereby guaranteeing the stability of the end body 110's movement. In addition, the limiting protrusion 303 facilitates contact with the elastic element 140, preventing excessive compression and protecting its performance and lifespan.

[0112] It should be noted that whether the sensing unit 151 needs to be powered in the above embodiment can be controlled by the vehicle power supply. Specifically, whether the vehicle power supply powers the sensing unit 151 can be controlled in various scenarios.

[0113] In one implementation scenario, the bright trim strip end assembly 100 includes a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor is mounted on the bright trim strip end assembly 100 and is used to acquire the vehicle temperature. The temperature sensor is also used to send signals to a control component of an external device. This external control component can be a control component on the vehicle or implemented through a device such as a mobile phone.

[0114] In one example, the vehicle's control components are configured to: acquire the temperature detected by a temperature sensor; when the temperature exceeds a preset temperature, control the power supply to cut off power to the sensing unit 151, at which point the locking member 150 and the mating member 114 can switch from a locked state to an unlocked state, allowing the operator to remove the locking member 150. Otherwise, control the power supply to power the sensing unit 151, keeping the locking member 150 and the mating member 114 in a locked state. This example illustrates that in the event of spontaneous combustion or a collision-induced fire in the vehicle, if the temperature exceeds the preset temperature, the sensing unit 151 can be de-energized, allowing the operator to disassemble the end body 110 and use the window breaker 130 to break the glass body 400, thus completing the rescue operation.

[0115] In another implementation scenario, the bright trim end assembly 100 includes a liquid level sensor. The liquid level sensor is mounted on the bright trim end assembly 100 and is used to acquire the liquid level height of the vehicle. A temperature sensor is also used to send signals to the control components of peripheral devices.

[0116] In one example, the vehicle's control components are configured to: acquire the liquid level height detected by the liquid level sensor; when the liquid level height exceeds a preset level, the control power supply cuts off power to the sensing unit 151, allowing the locking member 150 and the mating member 114 to switch from a locked state to an unlocked state, enabling the operator to remove the locking member 150. Otherwise, the control power supply powers the sensing unit 151, keeping the locking member 150 and the mating member 114 in a locked state. The example illustrates that when the vehicle accidentally enters water, the liquid level sensor detects that the liquid level height exceeds the preset level, triggering the de-energization of the sensing unit 151. This allows the operator to disassemble the end body 110, thereby enabling the use of the window breaker 130 to break the glass body 400 and complete the rescue operation.

[0117] In another implementation scenario, the bright trim end assembly 100 includes a pressure sensor. The pressure sensor is mounted on the bright trim end assembly 100 and is used to acquire pressure parameters. The pressure sensor is also used to send signals to the control components of peripheral devices.

[0118] In one example, the control components on the vehicle are configured to: acquire pressure parameters detected by a pressure sensor; when the pressure parameter exceeds a preset pressure value, and the duration for which the pressure parameter exceeds the preset pressure value exceeds a preset duration, the control power supply cuts off power to the sensing unit 151. At this time, the locking member 150 and the mating member 114 can switch from a locked state to an unlocked state, allowing the operator to remove the locking member 150. Otherwise, the control power supply powers the sensing unit 151, keeping the locking member 150 and the mating member 114 in a locked state. The example illustrates that if a child or animal is left inside the vehicle, potentially causing suffocation, the operator can press the pressure sensor. If the pressing time exceeds a preset duration, the power supply will cut off power to the sensing unit 151, allowing the operator to disassemble the end body 110 and use the window breaker 130 to break the glass body 400, completing the rescue operation.

[0119] In other implementation scenarios, the control component can also communicate with the body control module (BCM) or even a smartphone app to receive relevant commands, which is beneficial for achieving remote control.

[0120] 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.
