Abstract

This invention relates to the field of vehicle technology, specifically disclosing a guiding device, a vehicle body, and a vehicle. The guiding device includes a door glass guide rail, a rearview mirror support, and a glass guide groove. The door glass guide rail is provided with a guide groove, and the rearview mirror support is provided with a recess. The recess extends along the length of the door glass guide rail. A portion of the glass guide groove is engaged in the recess, and the other portion is disposed in the guide groove. The glass guide groove allows the glass body to slide, which not only increases the positional stability of the glass guide groove but also enables the rearview mirror support to support and guide the glass guide groove. This reduces the need for a door glass guide rail at the rearview mirror installation position, thereby reducing the interior and exterior space required for the arrangement. It also makes it easier to design corner window glass to be seamless with the glass body, providing more installation space for the rearview mirror inside the door, reducing the overall width of the vehicle, and reducing wind resistance.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle technology, and more particularly to a guide device, a vehicle body, and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] The rearview mirrors of a vehicle are usually installed on the door. The door has a door glass rail, which has a glass guide channel. The glass guide channel can support the glass body and guide the glass body during its movement.

[0003] In related technologies, in order to adapt to the shape of the glass body and the installation requirements, the door glass guide rail needs to have a certain degree of flexibility. The door glass guide rail is generally made of steel stamping and bending to form a guide groove. The glass guide groove is inserted into the guide groove of the door glass guide rail. However, due to the limitations of the size and processing technology of the door glass guide rail, the side wall of the guide groove is mostly flat. The friction between the glass guide groove and the guide groove is limited. When the glass guide groove is subjected to external force, it is easy to shift or detach from the guide groove of the door glass guide rail, which will affect the support and guiding effect of the glass guide groove on the glass body.

[0004] Furthermore, when installing rearview mirrors on car doors, the door glass guide rails need to be avoided, and the installation position of the rearview mirrors needs to be moved outward in the width direction of the vehicle body, which invisibly increases the overall width of the vehicle and increases wind resistance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a guiding device, vehicle body, and vehicle to solve the problems in related technologies where the glass guide channel is prone to detaching from the door glass guide rail, and the door glass guide rail causes the rearview mirror installation position to shift outward, increasing wind resistance.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a guiding device capable of guiding a glass body, the guiding device comprising:

[0008] A door glass guide rail, wherein a guide groove is provided on the door glass guide rail;

[0009] A rearview mirror support is provided at the end of the door glass guide rail, and a groove is provided on the rearview mirror support, which extends along the length direction of the guide groove.

[0010] A glass guide channel, a portion of which is engaged within the groove, and the other portion of which is disposed within the guide groove, allows the glass body to be slidably positioned.

[0011] In one embodiment, one of the sidewall of the glass guide groove and the groove wall of the recess is provided with a locking head, and the other is provided with a locking position, wherein the locking head can engage with the locking position.

[0013] In one embodiment, the door glass guide rail is a straight strip structure, and the rearview mirror bracket is disposed at the end of the straight strip structure; and / or,

[0014] The door glass guide rail is an annular structure with a circumferential break, and the rearview mirror support is located at the end of the annular structure where the circumferential break is formed.

[0015] In one embodiment, the groove is a continuous strip-shaped groove that extends continuously along the length of the door glass guide rail; or...

[0016] The groove includes multiple open slots spaced apart, which are spaced apart along the length of the door glass guide rail.

[0017] In one embodiment, there is an installation gap between the end of the door glass guide rail and the rearview mirror bracket, the installation gap being less than or equal to 5 mm.

[0018] In one embodiment, the glass guide channel includes:

[0019] A connecting part, which is connected to the groove;

[0020] First extension arm and / or second extension arm;

[0021] The first extension arm is connected to the connecting part, and a first sealing lip is provided on the first extension arm. The first extension arm can be disposed between the edge of the glass body and the rearview mirror support, and the first sealing lip can abut against the edge of the glass body.

[0022] The second extension arm is connected to the connecting part, and a second sealing lip is provided on the second extension arm. The second extension arm can be disposed on one side of the glass body, and the second sealing lip can abut against the surface of the glass body.

[0023] Secondly, the present invention provides a vehicle body, including a door, a rearview mirror body, and a guide device as described in any of the above embodiments, wherein the rearview mirror body is disposed on the rearview mirror support of the guide device, and the door glass guide rail of the guide device is disposed on the door.

[0024] In one embodiment, the door includes an outer door panel and an inner door panel connected together, and the rearview mirror bracket is fixedly disposed between the outer door panel and the inner door panel.

[0025] Thirdly, the present invention provides a vehicle, including a glass body and the vehicle body as described above, wherein the glass body is disposed on the vehicle door.

[0026] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0039] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, and not all of the structures.

[0040] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0041] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0042] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," and "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used only for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0043] This invention provides a guiding device, which includes a door glass guide rail, a rearview mirror support, and a glass guide channel. The door glass guide rail is provided with a guide channel, and the rearview mirror support is provided with a groove. The groove extends along the length of the guide channel. A portion of the glass guide channel is engaged in the groove, and the other portion is disposed in the guide channel. The glass body is slidably disposed on the glass guide channel. The groove can engage and fix the glass guide channel, which not only increases the positional stability of the glass guide channel, but also allows the rearview mirror support with the groove to replace part of the door glass guide rail, providing support and guidance for the glass guide channel. This reduces the need for a door glass guide rail at the rearview mirror installation position, providing more installation space for the rearview mirror to be installed inside the door, avoiding positional interference between the rearview mirror and the door glass guide rail, and allowing the rearview mirror to move inward into the vehicle in the width direction, reducing the overall width of the vehicle and reducing wind resistance.

[0044] The rearview mirror includes a mirror body and a mount. The mirror body is the housing part with the mirror lens, which can reflect a clear image of the area behind the vehicle within a specified field of view. The mirror mount is the support and mounting part that connects the mirror body to the vehicle body, providing support for the mirror body.

[0045] The groove extends along the length of the guide groove. This means that the guide groove and glass guide channel on the door glass guide rail need to be arranged to match the edge shape of the glass body. The rearview mirror bracket can replace part of the door glass guide rail by setting the groove. Therefore, the groove also needs to be opened along the length of the guide groove on the door glass guide rail. It can maintain the same trend as the setting path of the guide groove on the door glass guide rail so that after the glass guide channel is installed and connected in the groove, it can match the edge shape of the glass body and play a good supporting, guiding and sealing role.

[0046] The glass guide channel being engaged within the groove refers to the intervening connection between the groove wall and the side wall of the glass guide channel. For example, the glass guide channel can be engaged into the groove wall of the groove, and / or the groove wall of the groove can be engaged into the glass guide channel.

[0047] Part of the glass guide channel is engaged in the groove, while the other part is set in the guide groove. This means that at the connection point between the car door and the rearview mirror, the rearview mirror bracket supports and fixes the glass guide channel through the groove. At the connection point between the car door and the rearview mirror, the glass guide rail of the car door supports and fixes the glass guide channel. Of course, if there are special fixing requirements for the glass guide channel during use, the rearview mirror bracket can be increased in length.

[0048] The glass body can be slidably set on the glass guide channel, which means that the glass body can be erected and pushed up and down by the glass regulator inside the car door. The circumferential edge of the glass body can be set on the glass guide channel and can slide relative to the glass guide channel. The glass guide channel can seal and guide the circumferential edge of the glass body.

[0049] With this configuration, when the rearview mirror is connected to the car door, the rearview mirror support has a groove that extends along the length of the guide groove. The rearview mirror support can be positioned at the end of the door glass guide rail. The glass guide groove can be engaged and fixed with the groove on the rearview mirror support. Based on the contact friction between the groove wall and the side wall of the glass guide groove, the groove and the glass guide groove can be structurally limited by the groove, thereby strengthening the connection stability between the glass guide groove and the rearview mirror support and preventing the glass guide groove from shifting or detaching from the groove. Furthermore, the grooves with a snap-fit ​​effect machined on the rearview mirror bracket are easy to implement and process. The internal wall of the groove only requires a small-scale snap-fit ​​within the groove cavity to achieve a good limiting effect between the rearview mirror bracket and the glass guide channel. This not only effectively increases the positional stability of the glass guide channel but also allows the rearview mirror bracket with the groove to replace part of the door glass guide rail, providing support and guidance for the glass guide channel. This reduces the need for door glass guide rails at the rearview mirror installation location, shortens their length, and provides more installation space for the rearview mirror inside the door. It avoids positional interference between the rearview mirror and the door glass guide rail, allowing the rearview mirror to be moved inwards in the vehicle's width direction. This results in a more compact arrangement in the vehicle's width direction, reducing the overall width of the vehicle and wind resistance. It solves the problems in related technologies where the glass guide channel easily detaches from the door glass guide rail, and the door glass guide rail causes the rearview mirror installation position to shift outwards, increasing wind resistance.

[0050] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention provides a guiding device, which includes a rearview mirror support 1, a door glass guide rail 2, and a glass guide groove 3. The door glass guide rail 2 is provided with a guide groove 21, and the side wall of the rearview mirror support 1 is provided with a groove 11. The rearview mirror support 1 is located at the end of the door glass guide rail 2. A part of the glass guide groove 3 is located in the guide groove 21 of the door glass guide rail 2, and the other part of the glass guide groove 3 is fixedly engaged in the groove 11 of the rearview mirror support 1. This not only securely fixes the glass guide groove 3, but also allows the door glass guide rail 2 to avoid obstructing the installation of the rearview mirror, reducing positional obstruction and allowing the rearview mirror to have a larger installation space. It can also allow for positional clearance of the corner window glass of the door, making it easier to design the corner window glass to be in a form without step difference from the glass body 6. The rearview mirror can be partially moved inward to reduce wind resistance.

[0051] Optionally, the door glass guide rail 2 can be a straight strip structure, and the rearview mirror bracket 1 can be installed at the upper or lower end of the straight strip structure.

[0052] Optionally, the door glass guide rail 2 can be an annular structure with a circumferential break. The annular structure can surround the window of the door. The circumferential break allows the annular structure to form two ends. The rearview mirror bracket 1 is located at the end position formed by the circumferential break, so as to make room for the installation of the rearview mirror bracket 1 and provide sufficient installation area.

[0053] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, one of the sidewall of the glass guide groove 3 and the groove wall of the groove 11 is provided with a locking head 41, and the other is provided with a locking position 42, wherein the locking head 41 can engage with the locking position 42.

[0054] like Figures 4 to 5 As shown, optionally, the locking head 41 can be disposed on the groove wall of the groove 11, and the locking position 42 can be disposed on the side wall of the glass guide groove 3. When the glass guide groove 3 is connected to the groove 11, the locking head 41 and the locking position 42 are locked together, which can limit and fix the connection state between the glass guide groove 3 and the rearview mirror support 1, reducing the risk of separation. Moreover, since the locking head 41 is disposed in the groove 11 of the rearview mirror support 1, the locking head 41 can be made of the same hard material as the rearview mirror support 1, making the locking head 41 less prone to deformation. Furthermore, the locking head 41 is locked into the locking position 42 of the glass guide groove 3, which can enhance the overall hardness and rigidity of the combination of the glass guide groove 3 and the locking head 41, and also reduce the possibility of the glass guide groove 3 coming out of the groove 11 due to its own deformation, making the locking connection between the glass guide groove 3 and the groove 11 more stable.

[0055] Optionally, the locking head 41 can be disposed on the side wall of the glass guide channel 3, and the locking position 42 can be disposed on the groove wall of the groove 11. When the glass guide channel 3 is connected to the groove 11, the locking head 41 and the locking position 42 are engaged, which can limit and fix the connection state between the glass guide channel 3 and the rearview mirror support 1, reducing the risk of separation. Moreover, since the locking head 41 is disposed on the side wall of the glass guide channel 3, the locking head 41 can be made of the same elastic material as the glass guide channel 3. The locking head 41 has good flexibility, can be compressed and then enter the locking position 42 for unfolding and fixing, and can be designed to have a larger volume. The snap-fit ​​position 42 is located on the rearview mirror support 1. The snap-fit ​​position 42 can also be designed with a larger slot size. Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​position 42 can also penetrate the side wall of the rearview mirror support 1 to form a hole-like structure. When the snap-fit ​​head 41 is inserted into the snap-fit ​​position 42 for snap-fit, the end of the snap-fit ​​head 41 can also protrude from the snap-fit ​​position 42 to the surface of the rearview mirror support 1. The end of the snap-fit ​​head 41 can be reinforced and fixed by bolts or adhesive layers and other reinforcing connectors. The snap-fit ​​connection area is large, the installation is convenient, and it can be combined and fixed with reinforcing connectors, resulting in a stable connection.

[0056] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the clip 41 is disposed on the side wall of the groove 11. The clip 41 is integrally formed with the rearview mirror support 1, that is, the clip 41 can be a block-shaped or elongated protruding structure. The clip 41 and the groove 11 can be integrally injection molded or die-cast with the rearview mirror support 1, which not only facilitates processing, but also allows the clip 41 to be supported by the rearview mirror support 1, making the structure stable and reducing the stress at the joint between the clip 41 and the rearview mirror support 1.

[0057] In other embodiments, the shape of the latch 41 may be, but is not limited to, finned, inverted trapezoidal, or hemispherical, as long as it can form an intervening connection between the rearview mirror support 1 and the glass guide groove 3. The shape of the latching position 42 may be the same as that of the latch 41, or the latching position 42 may also have a certain reserved installation cavity to facilitate the latching of the latch 41. The latching position 42 may be able to allow the latch 41 to complete the latching.

[0058] It should be noted that when processing the rearview mirror bracket 1, it is necessary to first obtain the installation position and size information of the rearview mirror bracket 1 and the glass guide channel 3 on the car door. Then, based on the installation position and size information of the rearview mirror bracket 1 and the glass guide channel 3 on the car door, the position and size information of the groove 11 on the rearview mirror bracket 1, as well as the snap-fit ​​information of the glass guide channel 3 in the groove 11, can be determined. Finally, based on the position and size information of the groove 11 on the rearview mirror bracket 1 and the snap-fit ​​information of the glass guide channel 3 in the groove 11, the rearview mirror bracket 1 can be injection molded or die-cast.

[0059] The installation position information of the rearview mirror bracket 1 on the door may include, but is not limited to, the relative position of the rearview mirror bracket 1 to the outer door panel, the relative position of the rearview mirror bracket 1 to the inner door panel, and the relative position of the rearview mirror bracket 1 to the glass guide channel 3. The installation position information of the glass guide channel 3 on the door may include, but is not limited to, the relative position of the glass guide channel 3 to the glass body 6, the relative position of the glass guide channel 3 to the door glass guide rail 2, and the relative position of the glass guide channel 3 to the rearview mirror bracket 1. The position information of the groove 11 on the rearview mirror bracket 1 may include, but is not limited to, the relative positions of each groove wall of the groove 11 to the surface of the rearview mirror bracket 1, and the relative positions of each groove wall of the groove 11 to the surface of the glass guide channel 3. The engagement information of the glass guide channel 3 within the groove 11 may include, but is not limited to, the relative positions of the engagement structures on the glass guide channel 3 and within the groove 11, the shape and size of the engagement structures, the relative positions of the engagement structures on the glass guide channel 3 and the surface of the glass guide channel 3, and the relative positions of the engagement structures within the groove 11 and the groove wall of the groove 11. After the rearview mirror support 1 is injection molded or die-cast, the rearview mirror support 1 is integrally formed at the groove 11 and at the engagement structure positions.

[0060] This embodiment determines the position information of the groove 11 on the rearview mirror support 1 and the snap-fit ​​information of the glass guide channel 3 in the groove 11 by using the installation position and size information of the rearview mirror support 1 and the glass guide channel 3 on the car door. The groove 11 with snap-fit ​​structure is integrally formed with the rearview mirror support 1 by injection molding or die casting. This makes it easy to process snap-fit ​​structures and grooves 11 of different shapes and volumes. The processing is convenient and makes it easy for the rearview mirror support 1 to support, fix and guide the glass guide channel 3. Compared with the long strip-shaped car door glass guide rail 2, the rearview mirror support 1 has a larger volume, a more stable connection with the car door, and better support for the glass guide channel 3. In addition, the rearview mirror support 1 is integrally formed, has a large load-bearing capacity and small deformation, and is easy to accurately fix the glass guide channel 3.

[0061] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the locking heads 41 and locking positions 42 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence and multiple sets are provided. Multiple sets of locking heads 41 and locking positions 42 are respectively arranged on both sides of the glass guide groove 3. That is, both sides of the glass guide groove 3 can be locked and fixed to the side wall of the groove 11 of the rearview mirror support 1 by locking heads 41 and locking positions 42. This not only increases the locking and connection area between the glass guide groove 3 and the rearview mirror support 1, but also makes the forces on both sides of the glass guide groove 3 uniform, avoiding the glass guide groove 3 from being tilted or displaced by external forces, which would affect the support and guidance of the glass body 6 and the sealing effect of the glass guide groove 3.

[0062] Optionally, two sets of clip heads 41 and clip positions 42 can be provided. The two sets of clip heads 41 and clip positions 42 can be symmetrically arranged about the glass guide groove 3, which reduces the impact on the structural rigidity of both the glass guide groove 3 and the rearview mirror support 1, and also improves the clipping effect between the glass guide groove 3 and the groove 11.

[0063] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the groove 11 is a continuous strip groove, which extends continuously along the length of the guide groove 21. That is, the continuous strip groove can be set on the entire side of the rearview mirror support 1 and is continuously set. The groove 11 has a large connection area with the glass guide groove 3, and the groove 11 has good limiting and wrapping properties for the glass guide groove 3, reducing the displacement of the glass guide groove 3.

[0064] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, in some other embodiments, the groove 11 includes multiple open slots spaced apart. These open slots are spaced apart along the length of the guide groove 21, meaning that the glass guide groove 3 is segmented and fixed along the length of the guide groove 21. A gap can be provided between adjacent open slots, allowing the glass guide groove 3 to release stress at the gap between adjacent open slots. This prevents the glass guide groove 3 from twisting and deforming at the connection point with the groove 11 due to its long distance. The segmented connection of the glass guide groove 3 to the groove 11 facilitates flexible adjustment of the glass guide groove 3 at the gap between adjacent open slots, making it easier to align the locking head 41 and locking position 42 between the glass guide groove 3 and the groove 11, reducing damage caused by stress concentration.

[0065] The rearview mirror support 1 is provided with multiple clamping members 12, which are spaced apart along the length of the guide groove 21. Optionally, when the thickness of the rearview mirror support 1 is greater than the thickness of the glass guide groove 3, the clamping member 12 can be a block structure, and each block structure can have an opening groove. Optionally, when the thickness of the rearview mirror support 1 is less than or equal to the thickness of the glass guide groove 3, the clamping member 12 can be a bent plate structure, which is provided on the side of the rearview mirror support 1. The bent plate structure and the rearview mirror support 1 together form an opening groove. The structure of the clamping member 12 can be set according to the opening groove requirements to adapt to different processing needs.

[0066] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, in some other embodiments, the end of the groove 11 is aligned with the end of the guide groove 21 to facilitate a smooth connection of the glass guide groove.

[0067] Optionally, the end of the groove 11 and the end of the guide groove 21 can be a flat surface or a smooth curved surface transition, that is, the end of the groove 11 and the end of the guide groove 21 are set in the same form. For example, the mating position of the groove 11 and the guide groove 21 can be designed as a flat surface, and the two flat surfaces can maintain the same layout angle, which facilitates the smooth layout of the glass guide groove 3 at the position of the groove 11 and the guide groove 21. Alternatively, the mating position of the groove 11 and the guide groove 21 can be designed as a smooth curved surface, and the curvature of the two curved surfaces can be the same to form a smooth transition, which facilitates the smooth layout of the glass guide groove 3 at the mating position of the groove 11 and the guide groove 21.

[0068] In some other embodiments, the width of the groove 11 and the guide groove 21 may be the same, and their widths can be designed according to the width of the glass guide groove 3. The groove depths of the groove 11 and the guide groove 21 may be the same or different, as long as they can fix the glass guide groove 3. The bottom wall of the groove 11 and the bottom wall of the guide groove 21 need to be aligned and smoothly transitioned to limit the layout path of the glass guide groove 3.

[0069] Optionally, the door glass guide rail 2 and the rearview mirror support 1 can be fixedly connected so that the groove 11 and the guide groove 21 on the door glass guide rail 2 can be precisely aligned to avoid relative movement between the two. For example, the door glass guide rail 2 and the rearview mirror support 1 can be fixed by adhesive, magnetic, snap-fit ​​or bolts.

[0070] Optionally, both the door glass guide rail 2 and the rearview mirror bracket 1 can be fixed to the door. A certain installation gap can be reserved between the end face of the door glass guide rail 2 and the end face of the rearview mirror bracket 1 so that the rearview mirror bracket 1 can be installed laterally at the end position of the door glass guide rail 2. This makes it convenient for the rearview mirror to be installed laterally after the door glass guide rail 2 is fixed on the door. The installation operation is convenient. Moreover, by reserving the installation gap, the door glass guide rail 2 and the rearview mirror bracket 1 can also be flexibly and movable through the glass guide groove 3 to avoid large shearing forces on the glass guide groove 3 when the door glass guide rail 2 and the rearview mirror bracket 1 are misaligned under external force.

[0071] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, there is an installation gap H between the door glass guide rail 2 and the rearview mirror support 1. The installation gap H is less than or equal to 5 mm. Optionally, the installation gap H between the door glass guide rail 2 and the rearview mirror support 1 can be 1 mm, 3 mm, or 5 mm, and is not specifically limited here. When the installation gap H between the door glass guide rail 2 and the rearview mirror support 1 is 5 mm, the glass guide groove 3 can have a large movable and flexible transition space between the door glass guide rail 2 and the rearview mirror support 1, reducing the damage to the glass guide groove 3 caused by misalignment between the door glass guide rail 2 and the rearview mirror support 1 under external force. Furthermore, the rearview mirror support 1 has a large operating space and is easy to operate when installed laterally. When the installation gap H between the door glass guide rail 2 and the rearview mirror support 1 is 3 mm, both the installation convenience of the rearview mirror support 1 and the alignment accuracy of the groove 11 on the rearview mirror support 1 and the guide groove 21 on the guide rail can be considered. When the installation distance H between the door glass guide rail 2 and the rearview mirror support 1 is 1 mm, it provides installation space for the rearview mirror support 1 and also allows the guide groove 21 of the door glass guide rail 2 and the groove 11 on the rearview mirror support 1 to approach each other, thereby improving the alignment accuracy.

[0072] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the glass guide groove 3 includes a connecting part 31, which is connected to the groove 11, so that the glass guide groove 3 can be supported by the rearview mirror support 1.

[0073] Optionally, the glass guide channel 3 includes a first extension arm 32, which is connected to the connecting part 31. The first extension arm 32 is provided with a first sealing lip 33. The first extension arm 32 can be disposed between the edge of the glass body 6 and the rearview mirror support 1. The first sealing lip 33 can abut against the edge of the glass body 6, thereby sealing the edge of the glass body 6. The connecting part 31 is engaged in the groove 11 and can withstand greater stress. The first extension arm 32, the connecting part 31 and the rearview mirror support 1 can distribute the force, so that the first sealing lip 33 can apply a greater abutment force to the edge of the glass body 6, thereby improving the sealing performance between the edge of the glass body 6 and the first sealing lip 33.

[0074] Optionally, the glass guide channel 3 includes a second extension arm 34, which is connected to the connecting part 31. A second sealing lip 35 is provided on the second extension arm 34. The second extension arm 34 can be disposed on one side of the glass body 6, and the second sealing lip 35 can abut against the surface of the glass body 6 to seal the surface of the glass body 6. The connecting part 31 is engaged in the groove 11 and can withstand greater stress. The second extension arm 34, the connecting part 31, and the rearview mirror support 1 can distribute the force, so that the second sealing lip 35 can apply a greater abutment force to the surface of the glass body 6, thereby improving the sealing performance between the surface of the glass body 6 and the second sealing lip 35.

[0075] The first extension arm 32 and the second extension arm 34 can be optionally provided so that the first sealing lip 33 and the second sealing lip 35 can be used to seal the corresponding positions of the glass body 6. Alternatively, the first extension arm 32 and the second extension arm 34 can be provided together and both are connected to the connecting part 31 so that the first sealing lip 33 and the second sealing lip 35 can seal the edges and surfaces of the glass body 6. The joint provision of the first extension arm 32 and the second extension arm 34 can also increase the contact area between the first sealing lip 33 and the second sealing lip 35 and the glass body 6 in different directions. The forces acting on the connecting part 31 by the two can partially cancel each other out, reducing the possibility of the glass guide groove 3 becoming skewed and detached in the groove 11.

[0076] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, an embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention provides a vehicle body, which includes a door, a rearview mirror body 5, and a guide device as described in any of the above embodiments. The rearview mirror body 5 is mounted on the rearview mirror support 1 of the guide device, and the rearview mirror support 1 can provide stable support for the rearview mirror body 5. The door glass guide rail 2 of the guide device is mounted on the door, and the door glass guide rail 2 can be supported by the door to support the glass guide channel.

[0077] Since the vehicle body of the present invention includes the aforementioned guiding device, it possesses all the advantages and beneficial effects of the aforementioned embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0078] In some embodiments, the vehicle door includes an outer door panel and an inner door panel. The rearview mirror bracket 1 is fixedly disposed between the outer door panel and the inner door panel. A corner window glass can also be fixedly disposed on the vehicle door. The rearview mirror bracket 1 can be hidden between the outer door panel and the inner door panel, which can make room for the corner window glass of the vehicle door. The corner window glass is more likely to be designed in a form without step difference with the glass body 6, which reduces the width between the surfaces of the left and right doors of the vehicle body and reduces wind resistance.

[0079] In some other embodiments, the rearview mirror support 1 includes a corner plate structure. This corner plate structure can be die-cast or injection molded, which not only facilitates processing and achieves high dimensional accuracy, but also allows for the design of complex irregular shapes, permitting greater design freedom. The corner plate structure can be fabricated with reinforcing ribs and other reinforcing components, giving the rearview mirror support 1 excellent overall strength and rigidity, providing better support and guidance for the glass guide rail 3. The corner plate structure can be detachably connected to the vehicle door, using the door as a support to create a large connection area and ensure connection stability. Furthermore, the detachable connection facilitates the installation and docking of the groove 11 on the rearview mirror support 1 with the guide groove 21 on the door glass guide rail 2.

[0080] Optionally, the corner plate structure is detachably connected to the car door via fasteners. These fasteners can be, but are not limited to, bolts, pins, or clips, as long as they can securely fix the corner plate structure. Of course, the corner plate structure can have one or more connection points at the fastener connection locations to adjust the alignment accuracy between the groove 11 and the guide groove 21 on the car door glass guide rail 2. For example, if the fastener is a bolt, the location on the corner plate structure where it connects to the bolt can be designed as a strip hole or multiple round holes to provide multiple connection and fixing positions for the bolt.

[0081] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an embodiment of the third aspect of the present invention provides a vehicle, the vehicle including a glass body 6 and the vehicle body as described in the above embodiment, the glass body 6 being disposed on a door, and the glass body 6 being slidably disposed on a glass guide groove.

[0082] Since the vehicle body described above is included, the vehicle of this embodiment of the invention has all the advantages and beneficial effects of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0083] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here.
