Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vehicle parts, in particular to a window frame and also to a vehicle using the window frame. Background Art

[0002] Window frames will affect the vehicle's thermal insulation performance and NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) performance, as well as the vehicle's appearance quality.

[0003] Among the existing window frames, those with greater rigidity can ensure the vehicle's thermal insulation performance and vehicle NVH performance, but when exposed to the sun, "black grooves" will appear, affecting the vehicle's appearance quality. Window frames with smaller rigidity will not have "black grooves", but when the vehicle is driving at high speed, the upper part of the window frame will move outward along the width direction of the vehicle due to insufficient rigidity of the window frame. If the outward movement of the window frame exceeds the interference amount of the sealing strip, a gap will be generated between the door and the vehicle side, resulting in a sharp decline in the thermal insulation effect and NVH performance inside the vehicle.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood in combination with specific circumstances.

[0036] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments.

[0037] Embodiment 1

[0038] The present embodiment relates to a window frame, which is beneficial to improving light transmittance and appearance quality while ensuring the rigidity of the window frame. When applied to a vehicle, it is not easy to deform, so that it is not easy to have a gap with the body sheet metal, which is beneficial to improving the thermal insulation effect and NVH performance of the vehicle.

[0039] Based on the above design concept, an exemplary structure of the window frame of this embodiment is as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in terms of overall structure, the window frame is applied to a vehicle door 1, the front of the vehicle door 1 is arranged on the vehicle body assembly by hinges 101 arranged at a vertical interval, the rear of the vehicle door 1 can be fixed to the vehicle body assembly by a door lock 103, and the rest of the vehicle door 1 has no rigid connection with the vehicle body. The window frame is arranged around the vehicle window glass 102, and the door sheet metal 104 is below the vehicle window glass 102.

[0040] Specifically, the window frame of this embodiment mainly includes a window frame sheet metal 110, and the window frame sheet metal 110 specifically includes a window frame inner plate 1101 and a window frame outer plate 1102. The window frame inner plate 1101 and the window frame outer plate 1102 are snap-fitted together to form a cavity therebetween, and the length direction of the cavity is consistent with the length direction of the window frame.

[0041] When the vehicle is traveling at high speed, the air flow outside the vehicle flows at high speed, and the air pressure inside the vehicle decreases, which will compress the door 1 and cause the door 1 to be subjected to an outward force along the width direction of the vehicle, that is, in the Y direction. Since the window frame is far away from the hinge 101 and the door lock 103, the window frame and the window glass 102 will move to the outside of the vehicle when subjected to air pressure, specifically, they will rotate to the outside of the vehicle with the water cut position as the axis, and the amount of movement depends on the vehicle speed (or air pressure difference) and the stiffness of the window frame itself.

[0042] For the window frame, its rigidity depends on the following reasons: 1. The rigidity of the window frame's own cross section. The larger the cross section and the thicker the material, the greater the rigidity of the window frame. 2. The height dimension L of the window frame. The larger the value of L, the longer the force arm when the window frame rotates under pressure, and the greater the deformation.

[0043] In order to take into account both the vehicle appearance quality and the window frame stiffness requirements, in this embodiment, the window frame inner panel 1101 and the window frame outer panel 1102 have a first bonding area 1103 on the side close to the interior of the vehicle, and the angle α between the plane where the first bonding area 1103 is located and the plane where the vehicle window glass 102 is located is between 50°-60°.

[0044] The reason why the value range of α is limited is that in the existing structure, the angle α between the plane where the first bonding area 1103 is located and the plane where the glass is located is generally close to 0° or close to 90°. The smaller the value of α, for example, the closer the plane where the first bonding area 1103 is located to the glass is parallel, the worse the window frame rigidity is, and it will seriously occupy the space in the direction of the dimension u or z, that is, it will occupy the space in the length direction of the window glass 102 on the cross section of the window frame, making it difficult to balance the window frame rigidity and the light transmission area of ​​the glass.

[0045] The larger α is, the better the window frame rigidity is. For example, the plane where the first bonding area 1103 is located is nearly perpendicular to the plane where the glass is located. However, the inappropriate size matching of this structure will cause the outer surface of the window frame to bulge, and the appearance is not beautiful enough. At the same time, when the vehicle door 1 is closed, the protruding structure and the side sealing strip form a "black groove", which is very obvious under sunlight, seriously affecting the aesthetics.

[0046] For the window frame of this embodiment, the angle α between the plane where the first bonding area 1103 is located and the plane where the glass is located is between 50° and 60°, which can better balance the vehicle's requirements for window frame stiffness and glass light transmittance area. It can better ensure the window stiffness requirement, so when used on a vehicle, it is beneficial to improve the vehicle's thermal insulation performance and NVH performance, and can also take into account the transmittance of the window glass 102 and the appearance quality of the window frame.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment, the angle α between the plane where the first bonding area 1103 is located and the plane where the glass is located is preferably 54°. In addition, it can also be 50°, 52°, 57° or 60°, etc.

[0048] In a preferred embodiment, the first bonding area 1103 is welded by a narrow edge welding process, and the length a of the first bonding area 1103 is between 6 mm and 8 mm on the cross section of the window frame, which is conducive to ensuring the rigidity of the window frame and taking into account the requirements of the glass transmittance and the appearance quality of the vehicle. In this embodiment, the value of a can be, for example, 6 mm, 7 mm or 8 mm.

[0049] As a preferred embodiment, on the cross section of the window frame, the length z of the projection of the window frame sheet metal 110 in the length direction of the vehicle window glass 102 is between 35mm and 45mm. In this embodiment, the length z of the projection of the window frame sheet metal 110 in the length direction of the vehicle window glass 102 is preferably set between 35mm and 45mm because: if the z dimension is too large, it will affect the light-transmitting area of ​​the glass (the dimension u is the opaque area caused by the window frame section), and if the z dimension is too small, it will affect the cross-sectional rigidity. In this embodiment, the z value is preferably 40mm. In addition, it can also be, for example, 35mm, 38mm, 42mm, 45mm, etc.

[0050] As a preferred embodiment, on the cross section of the window frame, the length y of the projection of the window frame sheet metal 110 in the direction orthogonal to the length direction of the vehicle window glass 102 is between 35mm and 50mm. In this embodiment, when the size of the projection length y of the window frame sheet metal 110 in the direction orthogonal to the length direction of the vehicle window glass 102 is set, the general value of y is preferably 35mm to 50mm. A value that is too small is not conducive to improving the rigidity of the window frame, and a value that is too large will cause weight gain and excessive compression of the interior space of the vehicle. In this embodiment, the value of y is preferably 43mm. In addition, it can also be, for example, 35mm, 40mm, 45mm, 50mm, etc.

[0051] In the above structure, the reason why the dimensions of z and y are limited is that on the cross-section of the window frame, the sizes of z and y of the cross-section of the window frame sheet metal 110 are the key dimensions that determine the performance of the window frame. The larger the length y value of the projection of the window frame sheet metal 110 in the direction orthogonal to the length direction of the vehicle window glass 102, the stronger the window frame's ability to resist y-direction deformation. Correspondingly, the larger the length z dimension of the projection of the window frame sheet metal 110 in the length direction of the vehicle window glass 102, the stronger the window frame's ability to resist z-direction deformation.

[0052] It should also be noted that by limiting the z and y dimensions at the same time, the window frame's ability to resist deformation in these two directions can be ensured. In addition, it is also feasible to limit only the z dimension or only the y dimension.

[0053] As a preferred embodiment, in the cross section of the window frame, the distance b between the stopper 1071 of the side panel 107 facing the vehicle interior and the window frame interior 109 is a sealing gap, preferably between 13 mm and 15 mm, which is conducive to the cooperation with the existing door frame sealing strip 108 to ensure the sealing performance of the vehicle. In this embodiment, the value of b can be, for example, 15 mm, and in addition, it can also be, for example, 13 mm, 14 mm, etc.

[0054] As a preferred embodiment, a window frame interior 109 is coated on the side of the window frame sheet metal 110 facing the interior of the vehicle. The window frame interior 109 has an interior inner panel 1091 facing the interior of the vehicle and an interior outer panel 1092 facing the exterior of the vehicle. One side of the interior inner panel 1091 is connected to one side of the interior outer panel 1092, and the other side of the interior inner panel 1091 is sandwiched between the door sealing strip 106 and the window frame inner panel 1101, and the other side of the interior outer panel 1092 is inserted into the glass groove 105.

[0055] In the traditional structure, one side of the interior trim inner panel 1091 overlaps the inside of the door sealing strip 106, which easily squeezes the door sealing strip 106. In this embodiment, the interior trim inner panel 1091 is inserted between the door sealing strip 106 and the window frame inner panel 1101, and there will be no problem of squeezing the door sealing strip 106.

[0056] As a preferred embodiment, the angle β at the connection between the interior trim inner panel 1091 and the interior trim outer panel 1092 is an acute angle, which can better prevent the generation of "black grooves" compared to the existing parallel and protruding structures.

[0057] As a preferred embodiment, the interference amount c between the door frame sealing strip 108 and the window frame interior 109 is closely related to the sealing performance of the vehicle door 1, and preferably has a value between 3mm and 5mm. If the value of c is too small, it is easy to cause poor sealing, and if the value of c is too large, it will cause difficulty in closing the vehicle door 1 (increase in sealing reaction force). Therefore, in this embodiment, the value of c is preferably 3mm. In addition, it can also be 3.5mm, 4mm, 4.5mm, 5mm, for example.

[0058] As a preferred embodiment, on the cross section of the window frame, the interior trim inner plate 1091 has an overlap portion 10911, which overlaps the window frame inner plate 1101 along the length direction of the vehicle window glass 2, and the gap d between the overlap portion 10911 near the door frame sealing strip 108 and the window frame inner plate 1101 is preferably between 0 mm and 0.5 mm, and the gap d is filled with open-cell foam to prevent the window frame interior trim 109 from colliding with the window frame sheet metal 110 to produce a popping sound when the vehicle door 1 is closed. It should be understood that the gap d can of course be filled with other materials with a buffering effect.

[0059] As a preferred embodiment, on the cross section of the window frame, the gap e between the portion of the interior trim outer panel 1092 close to the glass groove 105 and the window frame outer panel 1102 is between 1.5mm and 2.5mm, and the gap f between the portion of the interior trim outer panel 1092 close to the interior trim inner panel 1091 and the window frame outer panel 1102 is between 1.0mm and 2.0mm, which makes assembly easy and less prone to abnormal noise.

[0060] In this embodiment, the value of e is preferably 2 mm, and the value of f is preferably 1.5 mm. If the values ​​of e and f are too small, assembly difficulties may occur and abnormal noises may be generated. In addition, the value of e may be, for example, 2.5 mm, 2.2 mm, etc., and the value of f may be, for example, 2 mm, 1.8 mm, etc.

[0061] As a preferred embodiment, the parts of the window frame inner panel 1101 and the window frame outer panel 1102 facing the outside of the vehicle have a second bonding area 1104 that is bonded to each other. The second bonding area 1104 is inserted into the glass felt groove 105. The gap g between the part of the window frame outer panel 1102 forming the second bonding area 1104 and the glass felt groove 105 is a reserved gap between the overlapping position of the window frame sheet metal 110 and the end of the glass felt groove 105. After assembly, the lip of the door sealing strip 106 can be hidden in this gap to prevent the sheet metal at the overlapping position from leaking out, thereby improving the aesthetics.

[0062] As a preferred embodiment, the door sealing strip 106 is clamped on the inner side of the window frame inner plate 1101 by the clamping member 111. The door sealing strip 106 is installed in a clamping manner, which is convenient for disassembly and maintenance compared to the traditional bonding manner. It should be understood that the number of the clamping members 111 is multiple, which is not specifically limited here, and the multiple clamping members 111 can be arranged at intervals along the length direction of the door sealing strip 106.

[0063] Finally, it should be supplemented that the selection of various values ​​in this embodiment is conducive to increasing the rigidity of the window frame, and can effectively ensure the light-transmitting area of ​​the glass, and improve the aesthetics of the window frame.

[0067] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
