[0002] The glass lifter is a device that allows the car window glass to rise or fall along the guide rail to the required position. The slider in the glass lifter is the main carrier of the glass, and the glass is lifted up and down by the slider carrying the glass.
[0003] Traditionally, the glass lift slider is connected to the window glass by glass clips. The glass clips usually include a large clip and a small clip made of a steel plate structure. After the worker places the glass in the gap between the large clip and the small clip, the glass is fastened and installed using screws and nuts so that the clips exert sufficient tightening force on the glass to prevent it from falling off. However, due to the small space of the window system, it is more difficult for workers to install it using screws and nuts, and the installation time is longer, which reduces the efficiency of glass installation and has obvious shortcomings. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to improve the installation efficiency of glass, the present application provides a slider for a glass lifter.
[0005] The present application provides a sliding block for a glass lifter adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A slider for a glass lifter comprises a slider body, the slider body is provided with a sliding assembly for slidingly cooperating with a slide rail, the slider body is provided with a bottom plate, the bottom plate is provided with a baffle plate and a baffle frame arranged oppositely, a snap-in groove for glass insertion is formed between the baffle plate and the baffle frame, a snap-in assembly is provided in the snap-in groove, the snap-in assembly comprises an elastic snap block arranged on the top of the baffle frame, the elastic snap block is snap-fitted with a glass mounting hole, two support arms are provided on the surface of the baffle plate, and the support surfaces of the two support arms are in contact with the bottom surface of the glass.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when installing the glass, the worker inserts the glass into the snap-fit groove, and the elastic block is compressed by the squeeze of the glass. When the mounting hole on the glass moves to the position of the elastic block, the squeezing force on the elastic block disappears, and the elastic block is automatically inserted into the mounting hole. At the same time, the bottom surface of the glass is supported by two support arms, and the glass is fixed in the snap-fit groove. The setting of the snap-fit assembly enables the worker to quickly install the glass by only inserting the glass into the snap-fit groove, eliminating the installation steps of installing screws and nuts, reducing the installation difficulty and shortening the installation time, and improving the installation efficiency of the glass.
[0008] Optionally, the clamping assembly further includes a support seat disposed in the clamping groove, the support seat is disposed between the two support arms, and the upper surface of the support seat contacts the bottom surface of the glass.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the provision of the support seat expands the supporting area of the clamping assembly for the glass and improves the stability of the glass in the clamping groove.
[0010] Optionally, the support arm is provided with a plurality of inclined blocks, and the edge surfaces of the inclined blocks close to the glass are arc surfaces.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, during the process of inserting the glass into the snap-in groove, the inclined block can guide the glass, making the insertion of the glass smoother. At the same time, the arc design of the edge surface of the inclined block can reduce the squeezing force of the inclined block on the glass, avoiding glass damage during the operation of the glass lifter, and further improving the stability of the glass in the snap-in groove.
[0012] Optionally, a plurality of reinforcing ribs are provided on the baffle, and one end of each of the reinforcing ribs is connected to the baffle, and the other end is connected to the bottom surface of the support seat or the bottom surface of the support arm.

At the same time, it can also absorb the noise generated by the glass during the lifting process.
[0018] Optionally, a plurality of cavities are provided on the surfaces opposite to each other of the baffle plate and the baffle frame.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, when the glass contacts the elastic card block, the elastic card block is rotated toward the inside of the groove due to the pressure of the glass. At this time, the squeezing force of the elastic card block on the glass body becomes smaller, and the glass can be inserted into the clamping groove more smoothly. When the mounting hole on the glass moves to the elastic card block, the squeezing force on the elastic card block disappears, and the torsion spring drives the elastic card block to be inserted into the mounting hole, thereby realizing the clamping of the glass by the elastic card block. Through the setting of the torsion spring, the elastic card block can easily avoid the glass when inserting, so that the worker can insert the glass smoothly and the insertion force of the glass is greatly reduced.
[0022] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0023] 1. The present application provides a clamping slot and a clamping assembly, and the worker inserts the glass into the clamping slot. Under the action of the clamping assembly, the glass is fixed in the clamping slot. The entire installation process only requires the worker to insert the glass into the clamping slot, eliminating the installation steps of installing screws and nuts, reducing the installation difficulty and shortening the installation time, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the glass;
[0024] 2. The present application sets up inclined blocks and protrusions, which guide the glass when it is installed, making it more convenient for workers to install it.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0031] The following is combined with Figure 1-5 This application is described in further detail.
[0032] The embodiment of the present application discloses a slider for a glass lifter.
[0033] Example 1
[0034] Reference Figure 1 A slider for a glass lifter includes a slider body 1, a sliding assembly 2 for slidingly cooperating with a slide rail is arranged on the slider body 1, a bottom plate 3 is arranged on the slider body 1, a baffle 4 and a baffle frame 5 which are arranged oppositely are fixedly connected to the bottom plate 3, the baffle frame 5 is arranged in a door shape, the baffle 4 and the baffle frame 5 are arranged vertically, a connecting arm 31 is connected to the base, one end of the connecting arm 31 is connected to the bottom end of the baffle 4, and the other end is connected to the bottom end of the baffle frame 5, the connecting part of the connecting arm 31 is in an arc shape, and the baffle 4 and the baffle frame 5 are connected by the connecting arm 31 to improve the strength of the slider body 1 structure, and a plurality of cavities are opened on the opposite surfaces of the baffle 4 and the baffle frame 5, and the opening of the cavities reduces the weight of the slider body 1, makes the sliding of the slider body 1 lighter, and meets the design requirements of lightweight automobiles while reducing production costs.
[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A snap-in groove 6 for glass insertion is formed between the baffle plate 4 and the baffle frame 5, and a snap-in assembly 7 for fixing the glass is arranged in the snap-in groove 6. Specifically, the snap-in assembly 7 includes an elastic block 71 connected to the top of the baffle frame 5, and the surface of the elastic block 71 close to the baffle plate 4 is an inclined surface. The elastic block 71 is snap-fitted with the mounting hole on the glass. Two support arms 72 and a support seat 73 are connected to the surface of the baffle plate 4 facing the baffle frame 5. The two support arms 72 are respectively distributed on both sides of the baffle plate 4, and the support seat 73 is arranged between the two support arms 72. The support surface of the support seat 73 is at the same height as the support surface of the support arm 72. When the glass is inserted into the snap-in groove 6, the support surfaces of the support seat 73 and the support arm 72 are in close contact with the bottom surface of the glass.
[0036] When installing the glass, the worker inserts the glass into the snap-fit groove 6, and the elastic block 71 is compressed by the squeeze of the glass. When the mounting hole on the glass moves to the position of the elastic block 71, the squeezing force on the elastic block 71 disappears, and the elastic block 71 is automatically inserted into the mounting hole. At the same time, the bottom surface of the glass is supported by the two support arms 72 and the support seat 73. The fulcrum area of the glass is increased, and the glass is firmly fixed in the snap-fit groove 6. The setting of the snap-fit assembly 7 enables the worker to quickly install the glass by simply inserting the glass into the snap-fit groove 6, eliminating the installation steps of installing screws and nuts, reducing the difficulty of installation, shortening the installation time, and improving the installation efficiency of the glass. At the same time, the setting of the inclined surface on the elastic block 71 guides the sliding of the glass, which reduces the insertion force applied by the worker to a certain extent.
[0037] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In order to further improve the stability of the glass in the clamping groove 6, a plurality of inclined blocks 8 are connected to the vertical surface of the support arm 72. In the present embodiment, two inclined blocks 8 are arranged on each support arm 72. The edge surface of the inclined block 8 abutting against the glass is an arc surface. Both ends of the stop frame 5 are connected with protrusions 9 for fastening the glass. The cross section of the protrusion 9 is triangular, and the top corner of the protrusion 9 close to the glass is rounded. The stop frame 5, the clamping assembly 7, the inclined block 8 and the protrusion 9 are all made of TPU material.
[0038] The setting of the inclined block 8 can guide the glass, making the insertion of the glass smoother. At the same time, the opening of the arc surface reduces the squeezing force of the protrusion 9 and the inclined block 8 on the glass, avoiding the damage of the glass during the operation of the glass lifter. When the glass is inserted into the clamping groove 6, the top corner of the protrusion 9 abuts against the glass. The setting of the protrusion 9 plays a role in fastening the glass, further improving the stability of the glass in the clamping groove 6. The TPU material is a material with high elasticity and wear resistance. After the car window is inserted into the clamping groove 6, the oblique block 8 and the protrusion 9 and other components made of TPU material can form an interference fit with the glass, which can protect the glass while fastening the glass, and can also absorb the noise generated by the glass during the lifting process.
[0039] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In order to improve the structural strength of the slider body 1, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 10 are connected to the surface of the baffle plate 4 close to the baffle frame 5, one end of each reinforcing rib 10 is connected to the baffle plate 4, and the other end is connected to the bottom surface of the support seat 73 or the bottom surface of the support arm 72.
[0040] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The manufacturing of the slider body 1 structure adopts a two-color injection molding process, which has high production efficiency and eliminates the subsequent assembly process, thereby improving assembly efficiency and reducing process costs.
[0041] The implementation principle of a slider for a glass lifter in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: when installing the glass, the worker inserts the glass into the snap-fit groove 6, and the elastic block 71 is squeezed and compressed by the glass. When the mounting hole on the glass moves to the position of the elastic block 71, the squeezing force on the elastic block 71 disappears, and the elastic block 71 is automatically inserted into the mounting hole. At the same time, the bottom surface of the glass is supported by two support arms 72 and a support seat 73, and the surface of the glass close to the baffle frame 5 is pressed by the inclined block 8 and the protrusion 9, so that the glass is firmly fixed between the baffle frame 5 and the baffle plate 4. During the entire glass installation process, the worker only needs to insert the glass into the snap-fit groove 6 to realize the quick installation of the glass, eliminating the installation steps of installing screws and nuts, reducing the installation difficulty and shortening the installation time, thereby improving the glass installation efficiency.
[0042] Example 2
[0043] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that a groove 11 is provided on the surface of the baffle frame 5 facing the baffle plate 4, and a rotating shaft 12 is rotatably connected to the side wall opposite to the groove 11. The rotating shaft 12 is passed through the top of the elastic clamping block 71 and is fixedly connected to the elastic clamping block 71. A torsion spring 13 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 12, one end of the torsion spring 13 is connected to the inner side wall of the groove 11, and the other end is connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 12. When the glass is installed in the clamping groove 6, the elastic clamping block 71 is clamped with the mounting hole of the glass, and the torsion spring 13 is in a natural state.
[0044] The implementation principle of a slider for a glass lifter in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: when installing the glass, the worker inserts the glass into the clamping groove 6. When the glass contacts the elastic clamping block 71, the elastic clamping block 71 is subjected to the pressure of the glass and rotates toward the inside of the groove 11. At this time, the squeezing force of the elastic clamping block 71 on the glass body becomes smaller, and the glass can be inserted into the clamping groove 6 more smoothly. When the mounting hole on the glass moves to the elastic clamping block 71, the squeezing force on the elastic clamping block 71 disappears, and the torsion spring 13 drives the elastic clamping block 71 to be inserted into the mounting hole, thereby realizing the clamping of the glass by the elastic clamping block 71. Through the setting of the torsion spring 13, the elastic clamping block 71 can easily avoid the glass when it is inserted, thereby facilitating the worker to insert the glass smoothly and greatly reducing the insertion force of the glass.
[0045] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
