Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of window technology, specifically relating to window assembly, and more particularly to a method for facilitating the assembly of vehicle windows. Background Technology

[0002] A window consists of a transparent panel and a window frame. The transparent panel is fixed to the panel via the window frame. To achieve a seal, existing window frames require applying sealant to the frame containing the transparent panel before assembly. However, the sealant is in a fluid state during assembly, causing it to overflow from the frame and requiring workers to wipe it off. Both the application and wiping steps affect assembly efficiency. To improve assembly efficiency, a more efficient window installation method is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0004] Therefore, the present invention proposes a vehicle window installation method that is easy to assemble, which has the advantages of convenient assembly and improved assembly efficiency.

[0005] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a vehicle window installation method for easy assembly includes: a transparent panel, a main frame, and a sealing element; the transparent panel is installed on the main frame, and the main frame is fixedly connected to the panel; the sealing element is fixed on the main frame, the sealing element is located between the main frame and the panel, and the sealing element is located on the outer surface of the panel; the sealing element is elongated, and its two ends are tightly connected to form an enclosed sealing structure with an internal cavity, and the sealing element is expanding foam; The window frame installation method includes the following steps: Step S1. Clean the panel and the main frame to ensure that there is no dust on the contact surfaces of the two. Step S2. Embed the main frame into the mounting position of the plate; Step S3. Use a clamp to hold the main frame and the plate together. Step S4. Fix the main frame to the plate; Step S5. Remove the clamp.

[0006] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the main frame is provided with a groove, the sealing member is disposed in the groove and the sealing member is higher than the surface of the groove, and the sealing member fits against the plate during assembly.

[0007] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the main frame includes a first mounting ring and a first overlap, the first mounting ring is used to fix the transparent plate, the first overlap is used to overlap one side of the plate, and the sealing member is located on the first overlap.

[0008] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a sub-frame is further included, which is detachably connected to the main frame. The sub-frame includes a second mounting ring and a second overlapping edge, the second overlapping edge being used to overlap the other side of the plate. The sub-frame and the main frame clamp the plate.

[0009] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a limiting ring is formed on the first mounting ring, the limiting ring being used to limit the sub-frame.

[0010] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the sub-frame is further provided with an extension plate, which is fitted to the limiting ring.

[0011] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the sealing element is polyurethane foam.

[0012] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a mounting groove is formed on the side of the first mounting ring facing the sub-frame, and a mounting hole is formed on the second mounting ring.

[0013] According to one embodiment of the present invention, at least one limiting surface is formed on the side of the second mounting ring facing the plate.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are that it uses pre-installed sealing elements on the main frame, ensuring that the sealing elements form an integral structure with the main frame before leaving the factory. This guarantees a secure and reliable seal during transportation, preventing detachment. Furthermore, the installation process is simpler and more precise after delivery to the installation site. This is mainly reflected in the fact that compared to the cumbersome steps in existing installation methods, such as applying primer, applying expanding foam, precisely positioning the window frame, cleaning and replenishing the expanding foam, this invention significantly reduces the complexity of the process and thus simplifies the installation steps. Furthermore, the traditional assembly process requires a long time for the primer to dry and the foam to cure, resulting in a longer time for vehicles to stay in the factory, thus requiring a large factory area for the production line. In contrast, this window frame structure shortens the assembly time and improves assembly efficiency. Due to the improved assembly efficiency, the time vehicles spend in the factory is shorter, which increases the flow rate of the production line and reduces the required factory size.

Furthermore, features defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0020] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; 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; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0021] The following describes in detail, with reference to the accompanying drawings, an easy-to-assemble vehicle window installation method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0022] like Figures 1-8 As shown, the easy-to-assemble vehicle window installation method according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a transparent panel 1, a main frame 3, and a sealing element 2; the transparent panel 1 is installed on the main frame 3, and the main frame 3 is fixedly connected to the panel 4; the sealing element 2 is fixed on the main frame 3, and the sealing element 2 is located between the main frame 3 and the panel 4, and the sealing element 2 is located on the outer surface of the panel 4, for example, when the panel 4 is a side wall of the vehicle compartment, the sealing element 2 is located on the outside of the vehicle compartment; the sealing element 2 is elongated, and after the two ends of the sealing element 2 are tightly connected, it forms an enclosed sealing structure with an internal cavity 21. The shape of the cavity 21 is similar to the frame structure of the main frame 3. For example, the main frame 3 can be a square, round, or irregular structure, and the sealing element 2 is arranged around the frame of the main frame 3 so that the panel 4 forms a sealed structure after the main frame 3 is installed, preventing air, water, impurities, etc. from entering the interior or vehicle compartment from the connection between the main frame 3 and the panel 4. The sealing element 2 is a foam; the sealing element 2 is polyurethane foam.

[0023] The window frame has the following installation steps: Step S1. Clean the plate 4 and the main frame 3 to ensure that there is no dust on the contact surfaces of the two. Step S2. Embed the main frame 3 into the mounting position of the carriage; Step S3. Use a clamp to hold the main frame 3 and the sub-frame 5 or the main frame 3 and the plate 4. Step S4. Fix the main frame 3 to the sub-frame 5 or the main frame 3 to the plate 4; for example, when connecting the main frame 3 to the sub-frame 5, use bolts to pass through the mounting hole 53 and connect to the mounting groove 35, so that the distance between the main frame 3 and the sub-frame 5 is brought closer, thereby achieving the clamping and fixing of the plate 4.

[0024] Step S5. Remove the clamp.

[0025] The installation steps for traditional window frames are as follows: Step S1. Clean the plate 4 and the main frame 3 to ensure that there is no dust on the contact surfaces of the two. Step S2. Apply a layer of primer to the main frame 3 to enhance the bonding strength between the expanding foam and the main frame 3; the primer needs to air dry naturally (air drying usually takes 5-10 minutes), and avoid touching or contaminating it during this period; Step S3. Apply expanding foam evenly, continuously, and without breaks on the main frame 3; Step S4. Immediately after applying the expanding foam, precisely embed the window frame into the installation position in the vehicle compartment; Step S5. Use the clamps to apply pressure evenly around the main frame 3 to hold the main frame 3 and the board 4, and wait for the foam to expand until it is fully cured (usually it takes about 12-24 hours to fully cure). Step S6. Remove the clamps; Step S7. Remove the excess expanding foam after curing; Step S8. Check whether the expanding foam is evenly filling the gaps and whether there are any voids or delamination. If there are local defects, use a glue gun to fill the foam and compact it again.

[0026] Step S9. Clean the surface of the main frame 3.

[0027] In this embodiment, a pre-installed sealing element 2 is used on the main frame 3, so that the sealing element 2 and the main frame 3 form an integral structure before leaving the factory. This ensures that the sealing element 2 is firmly and reliably installed during transportation and will not fall off. After transportation to the installation site, the installation steps are simpler and more precise. Specifically, by comparing the above steps, this window frame structure simplifies the existing nine installation steps to only five steps, and the overall steps are simple and easy to operate. Compared with the cumbersome process steps of applying primer, applying expanding foam, accurately embedding the window frame, cleaning up expanding foam, and replenishing expanding foam, this window frame structure greatly reduces the difficulty of the process.

[0028] Furthermore, the traditional assembly process requires a long time for the primer to dry and the foam to cure, resulting in a longer time for vehicles to stay in the factory, thus requiring a large factory area for the production line. In contrast, this window frame structure shortens the assembly time and improves assembly efficiency. Due to the improved assembly efficiency, the time vehicles spend in the factory is shorter, which increases the flow rate of the production line and reduces the required factory size.

[0029] The sealing element 2 is manufactured directly using a foaming process after the main frame 3 is produced. This means the finished main frame 3 includes the sealing element 2. The transparent panel 1 can be made of transparent materials such as glass or acrylic, or a combination of both. Panel 4 serves as the vehicle body wall. During installation, both the transparent panel 1 and the main frame 3 are already fixed; only the main frame 3 needs to be fixed to the panel 4. In traditional assembly, to prevent adhesive from sticking to other parts of the panel 4, affecting aesthetics and increasing cleaning difficulty, precise positioning is required to minimize movement steps, making the operation quite difficult. This structure allows the main frame 3 to be moved freely, making the relative positions of the main frame 3 and panel 4 more compatible, ensuring a high yield rate while reducing process difficulty and avoiding adhesive removal steps. After fixing, the sealing element 2 is clamped between the main frame 3 and panel 4, providing a seal. By pre-setting a sealant 2 on the main frame 3, no glue application step is required during installation with the panel 4, which reduces the need for experience in controlling the amount of glue, making the operation simpler and easier to learn. In addition, it avoids the phenomenon of glue overflow affecting the appearance, and also eliminates the step of wiping glue. Therefore, the installation process is simplified, the appearance of the finished product is guaranteed, and the assembly efficiency is improved.

[0030] The main frame 3 has a groove 31, and the sealing element 2 is located in the groove 31, with the sealing element 2 being higher than the surface of the groove 31. The groove 31 has a head end and a tail end, and the head and tail ends of the groove 31 are tightly connected. The sealing element 2 covers the groove 31 and protrudes from the groove opening of the groove 31. During assembly, the sealing element 2 fits against the plate 4.

[0031] In this embodiment, by providing a groove 31 on the main frame 3, the adhesive flowing during the glue application process is confined within the groove 31, ensuring the concentration of the adhesive and ensuring that the molded seal 2 meets the required height to guarantee sealing performance. During installation, because the bottom of the seal 2 is limited by the groove 31, the sealing performance of the seal 2 after being squeezed is further guaranteed.

[0032] The main frame 3 includes a first mounting ring 32 and a first overlap 33. The first mounting ring 32 is used to fix the transparent plate 1, and the first overlap 33 is used to overlap one side of the plate 4. The seal 2 is located on the first overlap 33.

[0033] In this embodiment, by setting the first overlap 33, the installation position of the main frame 3 is limited, and the edge of the window frame installed on the plate 4 is covered, which reduces the precision of the detailed process of the edge of the window frame installed on the plate 4 and ensures the aesthetics of the main frame 3 and the plate 4 after connection.

[0034] It also includes a sub-frame 5, which is detachably connected to the main frame 3. The sub-frame 5 includes a second mounting ring 51 and a second overlap 52. The second overlap 52 is used to overlap the other side of the plate 4. The sub-frame 5 and the main frame 3 clamp the plate 4.

[0035] In this embodiment, during installation, the second mounting ring 51 is positioned opposite to the first mounting ring 32, and the second overlap 52 is positioned opposite to the first overlap 33. The second mounting ring 51 and the first mounting ring 32 are connected by bolts. After the second mounting ring 51 and the first mounting ring 32 are connected, the second overlap 52 and the first overlap 33 clamp the plate 4, completing the assembly of the window frame and the plate 4. By setting the sub-frame 5, the step of drilling holes in the plate 4 is avoided, further improving work efficiency and ensuring the cleanliness of the assembly environment.

[0036] A limiting ring 34 is formed on the first mounting ring 32, and the limiting ring 34 is used to limit the sub-frame 5.

[0037] In this embodiment, the limiting ring 34 is located on the side away from the plate 4, and the second mounting ring 51 is located between the limiting ring 34 and the plate 4. By setting the limiting ring 34, the sub-frame 5 and the main frame 3 are positioned more accurately, which facilitates the installation of bolts during assembly.

[0038] Specifically, during installation, the first mounting ring 32 of the main frame 3 is embedded in the mounting position of the plate 4, and the first overlapping edge 33 of the main frame 3 overlaps one side of the plate 4; then the second mounting ring 51 is positioned opposite to the first mounting ring 32 of the main frame 3, the first overlapping edge 33 of the main frame 3 and the second overlapping edge 52 of the sub-frame 5 clamp the plate 4, and the second mounting ring 51 is located inside the limiting ring 34, that is, between the limiting ring 34 and the plate 4; then the first mounting ring 32 and the second mounting ring 51 are connected by bolts.

[0039] The sub-frame 5 is also provided with an extension plate 55, which is fitted to the limiting ring 34.

[0040] In this embodiment, the extension plate 55 is used to increase the movable range of the sub-frame 5 at the limiting ring 34. That is, by setting the extension plate 55, the distance between the second overlap 52 and the first overlap 33 is increased to accommodate the thicker plate 4.

[0041] The first mounting ring 32 has a mounting groove 35 on the side facing the sub-frame 5, and the second mounting ring 51 has a mounting hole 53.

[0042] In this embodiment, the mounting groove 35 can be located around the first mounting ring 32, or it can be located only at the relative position of the mounting holes 53. There are multiple mounting holes 53, spaced apart along the annular direction of the second mounting ring 51. The mounting holes 53 penetrate the second mounting ring 51, allowing bolts to be connected to the mounting groove 35, thereby achieving a detachable connection between the sub-frame 5 and the main frame 3. The bolts can be expansion bolts, etc.

[0043] The second mounting ring 51 has at least one limiting surface 54 on the side facing the plate 4. This surface is used to define the relative position between the ring and the plate 4.
