Detailed implementation manners

[0028] The following are the preferred implementation manners of the present application. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art in the technical field, without departing from the principle of the present application, several improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements are also regarded as the protection scope of the present application.

[0029] Before introducing the technical solutions provided by the present application, the technical problems in the related art will be introduced in detail.

[0030] The glass on the side of the vehicle can achieve the function of rising and falling up and down. The specific way to achieve this function is to install the window glass on the bracket, and connect the bracket to the driving device during the general assembly of the vehicle, so that the bracket and the window glass can achieve the function of rising and falling up and down under the drive of the driving device. Usually, a receiving groove is formed on one side of the bracket. During assembly, the bracket can be installed on the bracket fixture, and one end of the glass can be inserted into the receiving groove by using the bracket fixture. At this time, the glass and the bracket are not allowed to be in contact. When the degree of fit between the bracket and the glass is completely consistent, the distances between the two side walls on the opposite sides of the receiving groove and the glass should be equal. However, due to the possible deflection of the bracket, the distances between the two side walls and the glass are not equal, resulting in inconsistent degrees of fit.

[0031] Currently, the following several solutions are usually adopted to solve this problem: The first solution is to inject a two - component thermosetting adhesive into the gap between the glass and the bracket, and the degree of fit of the bracket can be controlled by a tooling fixture. However, the two - component thermosetting adhesive in this solution has a high cost, the bonding tooling is special and has a complex structure with a high cost, the adjustment difficulty is high, the adjustment time is long, the production cycle is 130 - 350S, and it cannot be connected in production, resulting in low production efficiency.

[0032] The second solution is to embed a plastic clip in the metal bracket and use a one - component moisture - curing adhesive. At this time, the plastic clip completely clamps the glass. Although this solution has low costs for the bonding material and the bonding tooling and a fast production cycle, since the plastic clip is fixed in the bracket and completely clamps the glass, the bracket cannot rotate relative to the glass, and the degree of fit cannot be adjusted. The deviation of the glass degree of fit is magnified along the length direction of the bracket. The longer the bracket is, the greater the magnification of the degree of fit is. Only by tightening the glass degree of fit can the degree of fit of the bracket be ensured to be qualified, which increases the production difficulty and reduces the yield rate.

[0033] The third solution: Similarly, a plastic clip can be embedded in the metal bracket and a one-component moisture-curing adhesive can be used. At this time, the plastic clip is not used to clamp the glass but only has a spacing effect. Although this solution has low costs for the bonding material and bonding tooling, and the glass fitting degree can be adjusted, due to adjustment gaps at each position and the viscosity resistance factor of the adhesive, it is difficult to adjust the fitting degree and its fluctuation, and the adjustment time is long, about 90 - 120S.

[0034] In summary, currently, when the glass is installed on the bracket, the fitting degree between the bracket and the glass is poor. Either the fitting degree cannot be adjusted, or even if the fitting degree can be adjusted, the adjustment difficulty is relatively high and the time is long.

[0035] In view of this, to solve the above problems, the present application provides a clamping member. Please refer to Figures 1 - 3 , Figure 1 which is a schematic diagram of the clamping member applied to the bracket and assembling the glass in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 For Figure 1 is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of the clamping member shown applied to the bracket and assembling the glass. Figure 3 For Figure 2 is a partial cross-sectional schematic diagram of the clamping member shown clamping the glass. The clamping member 1 provided in this embodiment is used to abut against the inner side of a receiving groove 200 on one side of the bracket 2. The clamping member 1 includes a bottom wall 10 and two side walls 20 bent and connected to opposite sides of the bottom wall 10. The bottom wall 10 and the two side walls 20 enclose a clamping groove 100 for clamping the glass 3, and the glass 3 is in partial contact with both of the two side walls 20, so that the bracket 2 and the clamping member 1 can rotate relative to the glass 3.

[0036] The clamping member 1 is an independent component capable of clamping the glass 3, mainly used in the bracket 2 in the vehicle field to assist the bracket 2 to better adjust the fitting degree with the glass 3. A receiving groove 200 is provided on one side of the bracket 2. The clamping member 1 can be disposed in the receiving groove 200, and the bottom surface and side surface of the clamping member 1 abutting against the receiving groove 200 are used to fix the clamping member 1.

[0037] The clamping member 1 is composed of a bottom wall 10 and two side walls 20, with an overall U-shaped structure. The bottom wall 10 and the two side walls 20 can enclose a clamping groove 100 for clamping the glass 3. When the glass 3 is inserted into the bracket 2, it is actually inserted into the clamping groove 100 of the clamping member 1. When one end of the glass 3 is disposed in the clamping groove 100, the two side walls 20 of the clamping member 1 can clamp the left and right sides of the glass 3, and the contact mode between the glass 3 and the two side walls 20 is partial contact, such as point contact or line contact. Point contact can be understood as the contact position between the glass 3 and the side wall 20 being a point, and line contact can be understood as the contact positions between the glass 3 and the side wall 20 being able to form a line, rather than forming a surface.

[0038] When the bracket 2 is assembled with the glass 3 by using the bracket 2 fixture, if the fit between the bracket 2 and the glass 3 is poor, in other words, there is a certain angular deviation in the bracket 2. At this time, the bracket 2 can rotate with the local contact between the clamping member 1 and the glass 3 as the rotation axis, automatically correcting the fit of the bracket 2 to ensure that the fit of the bracket 2 assembly is qualified. Specifically, the distances between the glass 3 and the left and right sides of the bracket 2 at the position where the glass 3 is in local contact with the clamping member 1 are equal. At other positions of the bracket 2, the distances between the glass 3 and the left and right sides of the bracket 2 can be made equal by rotating the bracket 2, finally making the fit between the bracket 2 and the glass 3 consistent. Compared with the related art where either the surface contact makes adjustment impossible or the non-contact makes adjustment difficult, this embodiment can reduce the adjustment difficulty through local contact.

[0039] In summary, this embodiment designs a structure of the clamping member 1, which makes it convenient to adjust the fit of the bracket 2, ensures that the fit, fluctuation of the bracket 2 are completely consistent with the glass 3, and can be installed only by a common pneumatic tooling. The bracket 2 fixture can automatically correct the fit of the bracket 2 to ensure that the fit of the bracket 2 assembly is qualified, reduce the adjustment difficulty, do not require strict control, reduce the adjustment time, and avoid affecting the yield rate and cost.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 For Figure 2 the partial enlarged schematic diagram of the clamping member, bracket and glass shown. In this embodiment, when the glass 3 is not installed on the clamping member 1, the side wall 20 includes a thickened portion 20a, and the distance between the surface of the thickened portion 20a for local contact with the glass 3 and the inner side wall of the receiving groove 200 is not less than the distance between the inner side wall of the receiving groove 200 and the glass 3, and the inner side wall of the thickened portion 20a is inclined so that the local contact between the thickened portion 20a and the glass 3 is a line contact.

[0041] A thickened portion 20a can be provided at the side wall 20, and when the glass 3 is not installed on the clamping member 1, the distance (such as Figure 4 L1 shown in Figure 4 between the position of local contact of the thickened portion 20a and the inner side wall of the receiving groove 200) is not less than the distance (such as

[0042] Moreover, the present embodiment can also tilt the inner side wall of the thickened portion 20a so that the glass 3 can only abut the thickened portion 20a at a certain height when abutting the thickened portion 20a, and cannot abut the entire thickened portion 20a, thereby achieving local line contact between the glass 3 and the clamping member 1, so that when the bracket 2 and the clamping member 1 rotate, they can only rotate along the axis of the line contact portion, thereby limiting the rotation direction and further reducing the difficulty of adjustment.

[0043] In this embodiment, when the glass 3 is not mounted on the clamping member 1, the difference between the distance between the surface of the thickened portion 20a that is in line contact with the glass 3 and the inner side wall of the receiving groove 200 and the distance between the inner side wall of the receiving groove 200 and the glass 3 is 0-0.5 mm. In one embodiment, the distance between the surface of the thickened portion 20a that is in line contact with the glass 3 and the inner side wall of the receiving groove 200 is equal to the distance between the inner side wall of the receiving groove 200 and the glass 3. When the glass 3 is mounted on the clamping member 1, the clamping member 1 and the bracket 2 are zero-matched, and the side wall 20 can be held between the bracket 2 and the glass 3. In another embodiment, the distance between the surface of the thickened portion 20a that is in line contact with the glass 3 and the inner side wall of the receiving groove 200 is greater than the distance between the inner side wall of the receiving groove 200 and the glass 3, and the distance is within 0.5 mm. When the glass 3 is mounted on the clamp 1, the side wall 20 and the bracket 2 have an interference fit, so that the clamp 1 can be completely filled between the bracket 2 and the glass 3, and the glass 3 and the clamp 1 are in line contact, thereby preventing the clamp 1 from being deformed too much and causing it to deform or break.

[0044] Please refer to Figures 4 - 6 , Figure 5 This is an isometric view of a clamping member in one embodiment of the present application. Figure 6 for Figure 5 A side view of the clamping member is shown. In this embodiment, the side wall 20 includes a first portion 21, a second portion 22, and a third portion 23 extending from away from the bottom wall 10 to closer to the bottom wall 10. The outer sidewall of the first portion 21 is used to abut against the inner sidewall of the receiving groove 200. The second portion 22 is connected between the first portion 21 and the third portion 23. The inner sidewall of the first portion 21 is a guide slope 210, so that the opening distance between the two first portions 21 gradually decreases from away from the bottom wall 10 to closer to the bottom wall 10. The end of the first portion 21 close to the bottom wall 10 is the thickened portion 20a. The thickness of the thickened portion 20a is greater than that of the second portion 22, so that the thickened portion 20a is in line contact with the glass 3.

[0045] The side wall 20 is divided into three parts in sequence from the direction far from the bottom wall 10 to the direction close to the bottom wall 10, that is, from top to bottom: the first part 21, the second part 22, and the third part 23. The first part 21 is located on the upper side and the outer side wall is used to abut against the inner side wall of the receiving groove 200. The second part 22 is located in the middle. The third part 23 is located on the lower side and the third part 23 is bent to connect to the bottom wall 10. The inner side wall of the first part 21 can be set as a guiding inclined surface 210. In other words, the inner side wall of the first part 21 is not vertical but inclined, and the opening distance formed by the first part 21 in the clamping member 1 gradually decreases from top to bottom, that is, the top opening of the clamping member 1 is inclined, which plays a guiding role for the glass 3 and facilitates the assembly of the glass 3 into the groove.

[0046] And one end of the first part 21 close to the bottom wall 10, that is, the lower end of the first part 21, is the thickened part 20a mentioned above. In other words, the thickened part 20a is a partial structure of the first part 21. In this embodiment, the lower end of the first part 21 is defined as the thickened part 20a, that is, the top of the clamping member 1 is locally thickened. As for the thickness of the second part 22 and the third part 23, it is not necessary to set it thicker, and its thickness can be reduced. Specifically, when the glass 3 is inserted into the clamping groove 100, at the beginning, there is a certain distance between the inner side wall of the first part 21 and the glass 3. As the insertion continues, the distance between the inner side wall of the first part 21 and the glass 3 gradually decreases until the glass 3 is in line contact with the inner side wall of the thickened part 20a in the first part 21.

[0047] In this embodiment, the outer side walls of the first part 21 and the second part 22 are recessed inward, and the first part 21, the second part 22 and the inner side wall of the receiving groove 200 enclose a relief groove 221.

[0048] From the above content, the clamping member 1 and the bracket 2 can be in interference fit. In this embodiment, the outer side walls of the first part 21 and the second part 22 can be recessed inward, that is, a groove 220 is formed on the outer side surface of the clamping member 1. The first part 21 can be used to abut against the inner side wall of the receiving groove 200 in the bracket 2. The first part 21, the second part 22 and the inner side wall of the receiving groove 200 enclose a relief groove 221. When the clamping member 1 and the bracket 2 are in interference fit, a certain relief groove 221 is reserved between the clamping member 1 and the bracket 2, and the groove 220 formed on the outer side surface of the clamping member 1 can facilitate a certain degree of deformation of the clamping member 1, so that the clamping member 1 can better clamp the glass 3.

[0049] In this embodiment, in the direction from far from the bottom wall 10 to close to the bottom wall 10, the opening distance between the two third parts 23 gradually increases, and each third part 23 is used for a clearance setting with the glass 3.

[0050] There will also be a certain opening formed between the two third components. In this embodiment, the opening distance between the two third parts 23 can be gradually increased from top to bottom. In other words, the bottom of the clamping groove 100 is designed in an inverted U shape, with the bottom end widened. In this way, after the end of the glass 3 is inserted into the bottom of the clamping groove 100, the glass 3 is arranged with a gap from each third part 23.

[0051] During the production process of the glass 3, there may be certain processing errors, resulting in the curvature and radian of the end of the glass 3 not meeting the requirements, so that the end of the glass 3 has a certain radian. If the glass 3 contacts the clamping member 1 due to the curvature of the end of the glass 3, the bracket 2 cannot be rotated and adjusted either. In this embodiment, the bottom of the clamping groove 100 is widened. Even if the glass 3 has a certain curvature and radian, the glass 3 will not abut against the third part 23, thus not affecting the fit of the bracket 2 and reserving an adjustment gap for the bracket 2, providing an adjustment and correction space.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 5 , in this embodiment, along the direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the second part 22 and the third part 23, both the second part 22 and the third part 23 include an intermediate portion 231 and end portions 232 provided on opposite sides of the intermediate portion 231. The intermediate portion 231 is provided with a deformation through hole 230, and the deformation through hole 230 penetrates the inner side wall and the outer side wall of the second part 22, as well as the inner side wall and the outer side wall of the third part 23. The deformation through hole 230 is used to communicate the receiving groove 200 with the clamping groove 100.

[0053] In this embodiment, the deformation through hole 230 can be opened in the intermediate portion, that is, the intermediate area, of the second part 22 and the third part 23. The opening of the deformation through hole 230 can reduce the internal stress generated by the production and manufacturing of the clamping member 1 and avoid the deformation of the clamping member 1. In addition, by making the deformation through hole 230 penetrate the inner and outer side walls of the second part 22 and the third part 23, the deformation through hole 230 can also connect the clamping groove 100 and the receiving groove 200 together, facilitating the subsequent improvement of the connection performance between the clamping member 1 and the bracket 2. The specific solution will be introduced in detail in the following text of this application.

[0054] Optionally, the deformation through hole 230 can also be opened at the bottom wall 10 of the clamping member 1, and its position, orientation, and function are the same as those of the deformation through hole 230 at the side wall 20, which will not be elaborated in this embodiment.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7This is a schematic cross-sectional view of a bracket assembly in an embodiment of the present application. This embodiment provides a bracket assembly 4, which includes a bracket 2 and a clamping member 1 provided in the above embodiment of the present application. A receiving groove 200 is provided on one side of the bracket 2, the clamping member 1 abuts against the receiving groove 200, and the clamping groove 100 of the clamping member 1 is used to clamp the glass 3 by line contact.

[0056] The bracket assembly 4 is a component jointly composed of the bracket 2 and the clamping member 1. A receiving groove 200 is formed on one side of the bracket 2, and the clamping member 1 can be arranged in the receiving groove 200 and abut against the inside of the receiving groove 200. For example, the bottom wall 10 of the clamping member 1 abuts against the bottom surface of the receiving groove 200, and the side wall 20 of the clamping member 1 abuts against the side surface of the receiving groove 200, so as to realize the fixation of the clamping member 1. In one embodiment, the bracket 2 and the clamping member 1 can be an integral structure, and in another embodiment, the bracket 2 and the clamping member 1 can also be a split structure. This embodiment only schematically illustrates the split structure of the bracket 2 and the clamping member 1.

[0057] For the bracket assembly 4 provided in this embodiment, by adopting the clamping member 1 provided in the above embodiment of the present application, the clamping member 1 can ensure that the coincidence degree and fluctuation of the bracket 2 are exactly the same as those of the glass 3. It can be installed only by an ordinary pneumatic tooling. The fixture of the bracket 2 can automatically correct the coincidence degree of the bracket 2, ensure that the coincidence degree of the bracket 2 assembly is qualified, reduce the adjustment difficulty, do not require strict control, reduce the adjustment time, and avoid affecting the yield rate and cost.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 8 , Figure 8 This is a partial cross-sectional view of a bracket assembly in another embodiment of the present application. In this embodiment, the side wall 20 of the clamping member 1 includes a first portion 21, a second portion 22, and a third portion 23 from the direction away from the bottom wall 10 of the clamping member 1 to the direction close to the bottom wall 10. The second portion 22 is connected between the first portion 21 and the third portion 23, and a deformation through hole 230 is provided in the second portion 22 and the third portion 23; the bracket assembly 4 further includes an adhesive member 30 arranged in the clamping groove 100, and the adhesive member 30 can also be bonded between the clamping member 1 and the bracket 2 through the deformation through hole 230.

[0059] The bottom wall 10, side wall 20, first part 21, second part 22, third part 23, and deformed through hole 230 of the clamping member 1 have been introduced in detail above in this application, and are not limited in this embodiment. In addition to the bracket 2 and the clamping member 1, the bracket assembly 4 may further include an adhesive member 30, and the adhesive member 30 is disposed in the clamping groove 100 to further fix the glass 3. Due to the opening of the deformed through hole 230, the adhesive member 30 can also be bonded between the clamping member 1 and the bracket 2 through the deformed through hole 230, thereby improving the connection performance between the clamping member 1 and the bracket 2.

[0060] Optionally, the adhesive member 30 includes, but is not limited to, a one-component PU adhesive or a two-component thermosetting PU adhesive. In this embodiment, only the one-component PU adhesive is used as an example for illustrative purposes. At this time, the installation cycle is only 20 to 40 seconds, which is suitable for in-line production, and the adhesive material has a low cost.

[0061] In summary, without tightening the requirements for the glass 3's conformity, a low-cost one-component PU adhesive and tooling can be used for rapid installation, which is suitable for assembly line production and ensures the conformity and fluctuation of the bracket 2 are qualified.

[0062] In summary, for the bracket assembly 4 provided in this application, the conformity / fluctuation of the bracket 2 is completely consistent with that of the glass 3. At the same time, the conformity of the bottom end of the bracket 2 is not affected by the edge conformity of the glass 3, that is, as long as the edge conformity / fluctuation of the glass 3 is qualified, there is no need to tighten the control, which affects the yield and cost. At the same time, this structure can be designed for installation with ordinary pneumatic tooling. Due to the adjustment gap design at the bottom end and the line contact design at the top end of the clamping member 1, the jig of the bracket 2 can automatically correct the conformity of the bracket 2 to ensure the conformity of the bracket 2 assembly is qualified.
