[0032] Please refer to Figures 1-6 This embodiment provides a vehicle window assembly 1 for being installed on a vehicle body panel 2. The vehicle window assembly 1 includes a vehicle window 11, a first bracket 12, a positioning member 13 and a guide rail 14. The vehicle window 11 and the first bracket 12 are both arranged on the guide rail 14. The positioning member 13 is protruded from the first bracket 12. The positioning member 13 is used to pass through the vehicle body panel 2 to fix the first bracket 12 to the vehicle body panel 2. The first bracket 12 has a first mounting hole 1211. The first mounting hole 1211 is used to accommodate a fixing member 3 to fix the vehicle window assembly 1 to the vehicle body panel 2.
[0033] The vehicle window assembly 1 provided in this embodiment includes a vehicle window 11 and a guide rail 14. The vehicle window 11 can be a corner window or side windshield. The vehicle window 11 is mounted on the guide rail 14, which is connected to one side of the vehicle window 11. For example, the vehicle window 11 and the guide rail 14 are integrally formed by injection molding. The guide rail 14 serves as a connection and support mechanism; it can also be equipped with a seal to improve the vehicle's waterproof and wind noise protection. The guide rail 14 can also cooperate with a lifting mechanism to achieve the raising and lowering of the vehicle window 11.
[0034] The vehicle window assembly 1 provided in this embodiment also includes a first bracket 12 for connecting the guide rail 14 and the vehicle body panel 2 to install the vehicle window assembly 1 on the vehicle body panel 2. The first bracket 12 is also provided on the guide rail 14, and the first bracket 12 and the vehicle window 11 are spaced apart along the length direction of the guide rail 14. The first bracket 12 is fixedly connected to or detachably connected to the guide rail 14. For example, the first bracket 12 is fixed to the guide rail 14 by a fixing member 3, that is, the first bracket 12 is fixedly connected to the guide rail 14. In addition, the first bracket 12 has a first mounting hole 1211, and the first mounting hole 1211 passes through the first bracket 12 along the thickness direction of the first bracket 12. The fixing member 3 cooperates with the first mounting hole 1211 to lock the first bracket 12 on the vehicle body panel 2, that is, the first bracket 12 is fixedly connected to the vehicle body panel 2, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the vehicle window assembly 1 and the vehicle body panel 2. The fixing member 3 can be a bolt, a screw, a stud or a nut, etc.
[0035] The vehicle window assembly 1 provided in this embodiment also includes a positioning member 13 for passing through the vehicle body panel 2. The positioning member 13 is provided on the first bracket 12 and protrudes relative to the first bracket 12. The protruding portion of the positioning member 13 can be passed through the vehicle body panel 2. Specifically, the vehicle body panel 2 has a positioning cavity 21 for accommodating the positioning member 13. The positioning cavity 21 can be a hole or a groove. The positioning member 13 is fixedly connected or detachably connected to the first bracket 12. For example, the positioning member 13 passes through the first bracket 12; for another example, the positioning member 13 and the first bracket 12 are integrally formed structures.
[0036] Specifically, by providing a protruding positioning member 13 on the first bracket 12, the positioning member 13 can be passed through the body panel 2 to fix the first bracket 12 to the body panel 2, thereby avoiding rotation of the window assembly 1 during the process of fixed connection between the bracket and the body panel 2, avoiding displacement of the installation position of the window assembly 1, improving the matching degree between the window assembly 1 and the body panel 2, ensuring that the dimensional tolerance of the window assembly 1 is within a preset range, and reducing the risk of water leakage in the vehicle.
[0037] Therefore, this embodiment provides a positioning member 13 on the first bracket 12, which can effectively prevent the window assembly 1 from rotating during the process of installing the window assembly 1 on the vehicle body panel 2, thereby avoiding the installation position deviation of the window assembly 1, reducing the risk of water leakage in the vehicle, and improving the yield rate of the vehicle.
[0038] Please refer to Figures 1-6 In one embodiment, the first bracket 12 has a fixing hole 1212, and the fixing hole 1212 is spaced apart from the first mounting hole 1211. Part of the positioning member 13 is arranged in the fixing hole 1212, and another part of the positioning member 13 protrudes toward the direction close to the vehicle body panel 2.
[0039] The first bracket 12 provided in this embodiment has a fixing hole 1212 that extends through the first bracket 12 along its thickness. The fixing hole 1212 and the first mounting hole 1211 are spaced apart along the length of the first bracket 12. A portion of the positioning member 13 is disposed within the fixing hole 1212, abutting against the wall of the fixing hole 1212. Another portion of the positioning member 13 is disposed outside the fixing hole 1212 and protrudes relative to the first bracket 12.
[0040] In summary, this embodiment provides a fixing hole 1212 on the first bracket 12 and fixes the positioning member 13 in the fixing hole 1212 to improve the connection performance between the positioning member 13 and the first bracket 12, thereby improving the reliability of the positioning member 13, further preventing the window assembly 1 from rotating during the process of being installed on the vehicle body panel 2, and reducing the risk of water leakage in the vehicle.
[0041] Please refer to Figures 1-8 In one embodiment, the fixing hole 1212 includes a first portion 1212a and a second portion 1212b relative to the first portion 1212a and close to the vehicle body panel 2. The aperture of the first portion 1212a is larger than the aperture of the second portion 1212b, and the aperture of the second portion 1212b gradually decreases along the direction from the first bracket 12 to the vehicle body panel 2.
[0042] The fixing hole 1212 provided in this embodiment includes a first portion 1212a and a second portion 1212b. The first portion 1212a and the second portion 1212b are arranged along the axial direction of the fixing hole 1212, with the first portion 1212a being farther away from the vehicle body panel 2 than the second portion 1212b. The aperture of the first portion 1212a is larger than that of the second portion 1212b, and the first portion 1212a is bent to connect to the second portion 1212b. Furthermore, the aperture of the second portion 1212b gradually decreases as it approaches the vehicle body panel 2. That is, the aperture wall of the second portion 1212b is tilted toward the center axis of the fixing hole 1212. The positioning member 13 abuts against the aperture walls of the first portion 1212a and the aperture walls of the second portion 1212b.
[0043] In summary, by defining the shape of the fixing hole 1212, this embodiment further improves the connection between the positioning member 13 and the first bracket 12, reduces the probability of the positioning member 13 falling out of the fixing hole 1212, further improves the reliability of the positioning member 13, and further prevents the window assembly 1 from rotating during installation on the vehicle body panel 2, thereby reducing the risk of water leakage in the vehicle. Furthermore, the inclined hole wall of the second portion 1212b helps to reduce the difficulty of installing the positioning member 13 on the first bracket 12.
[0044] Please refer to Figures 1-8In one embodiment, the positioning member 13 is riveted to the first bracket 12 .
[0045] Optionally, the positioning member 13 is installed to the first bracket 12 by a riveting process, which can also be understood as the positioning member 13 being a riveted member, for example, the positioning member 13 being a riveted stud. Specifically, the positioning member 13 includes a column head and a column body protruding from the column head, the column head is arranged in the fixing hole 1212, and the column body is arranged outside the fixing hole 1212 and protrudes compared to the first bracket 12. The column head includes a first sub-column head and a second sub-column head that is closer to the column body than the first sub-column head. The radial dimension of the first sub-column head is greater than the radial dimension of the second sub-column head, and the radial dimension of the second sub-column head gradually decreases along the direction from the column head to the column body. The first sub-column head is arranged in the first part 1212a of the fixing hole 1212, and the second sub-column head is arranged in the second part 1212b of the fixing hole 1212.
[0046] In summary, in this embodiment, the positioning member 13 is riveted to the first bracket 12, so that the positioning member 13 can be firmly fixed on the first bracket 12, thereby preventing the positioning member 13 from falling out of the fixing hole 1212, improving the reliability of the positioning member 13, and preventing the window assembly 1 from rotating during the installation of the window assembly 1 on the vehicle body panel 2, thereby reducing the risk of water leakage in the vehicle.
[0047] Please refer to Figure 7 In one embodiment, the protruding length H of the positioning member 13 compared to the first bracket 12 satisfies the following condition: 3mm≤H≤6mm.
[0048] The protrusion length H of the positioning member 13 relative to the first bracket 12 is 3 mm to 6 mm. Specifically, the protrusion length H of the positioning member 13 relative to the first bracket 12 can be 3 mm, 3.5 mm, 4 mm, 4.5 mm, 5 mm, 5.5 mm, or 6 mm. In summary, this embodiment, by limiting the protrusion length of the positioning member 13 relative to the first bracket 12, ensures that the positioning member 13 is firmly fixed to the vehicle body panel 2 while preventing interference between the positioning member 13 and other components, thereby preventing collisions and noise.
[0049] Please refer to Figures 1-8 In one embodiment, the first bracket 12 includes a main body 121 and a reinforcement portion 122 connected to each other, the main body 121 is arranged on the guide rail 14, the main body 121 has the first mounting hole 1211, the positioning member 13 is protruded from the main body 121, and the reinforcement portion 122 is protruded compared to the main body 121.
[0050] The first bracket 12 provided in this embodiment includes a main body 121 and a reinforcement portion 122. The main body 121 is mounted on the guide rail 14. The main body 121 has a first mounting hole 1211 and a fixing hole 1212. The positioning member 13 is disposed through the main body 121. The reinforcement portion 122 is bent and raised relative to the main body 121. In summary, this embodiment improves the strength of the first bracket 12 by providing the reinforcement portion 122, thereby enhancing the reliability of the vehicle window assembly 1.
[0051] Please refer to Figures 1-8 In one embodiment, the reinforcing portion 122 protrudes in a direction away from the vehicle body panel 2 compared to the main body 121 ; and / or, the reinforcing portion 122 is disposed between the first mounting hole 1211 and the positioning member 13 .
[0052] The reinforcement portion 122 protrudes away from the vehicle body panel 2 compared to the main body 121 , that is, the reinforcement portion 122 is bent away from the vehicle body panel 2 compared to the main body 121 to avoid interference between the reinforcement portion 122 and the vehicle body panel 2 and prevent collision and noise.
[0053] The reinforcement portion 122 is provided between the first mounting hole 1211 and the positioning member 13, that is, between the first mounting hole 1211 and the fixing hole 1212. Since the fixing member 3 needs to be provided at the first mounting hole 1211 and the positioning member 13 needs to be provided at another location, the strength of the first bracket 12 in this portion is required to be relatively high. By providing the reinforcement portion 122 between the first mounting hole 1211 and the positioning member 13, the strength of the first bracket 12 can be effectively increased, meeting the requirements for installing the fixing member 3 and the positioning member 13, and improving the reliability of the first bracket 12.

[0055] The vehicle window assembly 1 provided in this embodiment further includes a buffer member 15. The buffer member 15 is disposed between the vehicle body panel 2 and the first bracket 12 and serves to provide a buffering effect. The buffer member 15 abuts both the surface of the first bracket 12 facing the vehicle body panel 2 and the surface of the vehicle body panel 2 facing the first bracket 12. The buffer member 15 is elastic and, for example, is foam. Optionally, the buffer member 15 is sleeved on the positioning member 13. Optionally, the buffer member 15 includes a plurality of sub-buffer portions, which are spaced apart circumferentially around the positioning member 13.
[0056] In summary, in this embodiment, the buffer member 15 is provided between the vehicle body panel 2 and the first bracket 12 , thereby avoiding interference between the first bracket 12 and the vehicle body panel 2 and preventing collision and noise generation.
