[0045] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections, electrical connections; direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0046] Reference below Figures 1-12 A corner window assembly 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0047] like Figures 1-12 As shown, the corner window assembly 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a vehicle window body 1 and a sensor assembly 2 .

[0048] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 The corner window assembly 10 is used on the rear side of a vehicle, and the window body 1 includes a corner window glass 11 ; the sensor component 2 is arranged on the side of the corner window glass 11 facing the inner side of the vehicle and is connected to the corner window glass 11 .

[0049] It can be understood that since the corner window glass 11 is a transparent part, the signal (photoelectric signal) of the sensor component 2 can penetrate the corner window glass 11, so that the sensor component 2 can directly detect the rear side and left and right directions of the vehicle body through the corner window glass 11, thereby realizing real-time monitoring of the surrounding environment by the sensor component 2 during vehicle driving, thereby ensuring the safety of the vehicle during driving.

[0050] Because the sensor assembly 2 is located on the side of the corner window glass 11 facing inward, it is protected from scratches by objects outside the vehicle and from the external environment (wind, sun, rain, etc.), thereby extending the service life of the sensor assembly 2. This also reduces the requirements for the sensor assembly 2's collision resistance, as well as its water and dust resistance, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the sensor assembly 2. Furthermore, since the sensor assembly 2 is located inside the vehicle, it reduces wind resistance during driving. Furthermore, since the sensor assembly 2 is fixed to the corner window glass 11, it can operate without the need for a drive mechanism, simplifying the structure and freeing up more usable space inside the vehicle.

[0051] Furthermore, the corner window glass 11 can be an ultra-white glass piece, a PC (Polycarbonate) board, a PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) board, a PE (Polyethylene) board or a PMMA (Polymethyl Methacrylate) board, so that the corner window glass 11 has a high light transmittance and has a low impact on the signal transmission and receiving functions of the sensor component 2 (with an absorption rate of no more than 10% in the wavelength range of 900 to 1000 nm), thereby improving the detection clarity and accuracy of the left and right directions and rear of the vehicle body.

[0052] According to the corner window assembly 10 of the embodiment of the present invention, the sensor assembly 2 is disposed on the side of the corner window glass 11 facing the inside of the vehicle and is connected to the corner window glass 11. This prevents the sensor assembly 2 from being scratched by objects outside the vehicle and also prevents the impact of the vehicle's external environment on the sensor assembly 2, thereby increasing the service life of the sensor assembly 2. At the same time, the requirements for the collision resistance and waterproof and dustproof properties of the sensor assembly 2 can be reduced, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the sensor assembly 2. At the same time, since the sensor assembly 2 is disposed inside the vehicle, it can reduce wind resistance during vehicle driving. In addition, since the sensor assembly 2 is fixed to the corner window glass 11, the operation of the sensor assembly 2 can be realized, and there is no need to set up a drive mechanism to drive the sensor assembly 2, which simplifies the structure and allows more usable space inside the vehicle.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 、 Figure 5 and Figure 10 As shown, the sensor assembly 2 includes: a sensor bracket 21, a camera 22 and a laser radar 23.

[0054] Among them, the sensor bracket 21 is connected to the corner window glass 11, and has a first through hole 211 and a second through hole 212 spaced apart from each other on the sensor bracket 21; the camera 22 and the laser radar 23 are both connected to the vehicle central control signal, and the camera 22 and the laser radar 23 are both connected to the side of the sensor bracket 21 away from the corner window glass 11, the lens of the camera 22 is arranged opposite to the first through hole 211, and the detection head of the laser radar 23 is arranged opposite to the second through hole 212.

[0055] It is understood that by connecting the sensor bracket 21 to the corner window glass 11, and the camera 22 and the laser radar 23 to the sensor bracket 21, the camera 22 and the laser radar 23 can be fixed to the corner window glass 11. The lens of the camera 22 is arranged opposite the first through-hole 211, so that the camera 22 can capture the surrounding environment outside the vehicle. The camera 22 is then connected to the vehicle's central control system via a signal, so that the images captured by the camera 22 can be transmitted to the vehicle's central control screen, thereby facilitating the driver's observation of the vehicle's surrounding environment and improving driving safety.

[0056] The detection head of the laser radar 23 is arranged opposite to the second through hole 212, so that the laser emitted by the laser radar 23 will not be blocked by the sensor bracket 21, so that the laser radar 23 can work normally. The laser radar 23 can detect the distance between the vehicle and surrounding objects, and through the signal connection with the vehicle's central control, the distance information is transmitted to the driver, thereby facilitating the driver to control the vehicle and giving the driver warnings.

[0057] Furthermore, the lens of the camera 22 can rotate 360 ​​degrees, so that the camera 22 can capture a wide range, further facilitating the driver to observe the surrounding environment of the vehicle, thereby improving safety during driving.

[0058] Furthermore, the laser radar 23 has a detection range of 0°-180° in the front-to-rear direction of the vehicle, such as 0°, 90°, 120°, or 180°, and a detection range of -20°-20° in the up-down direction of the vehicle, such as -20°, 0°, 10°, or 20°. Thus, the laser radar 23 has a sufficient detection range, further facilitating the driver's observation of the vehicle's surroundings, thereby improving driving safety.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 and Figure 10-12 As shown, the camera 22 is snap-fitted to the sensor bracket 21 , thereby improving the connection reliability between the camera 22 and the sensor bracket 21 and facilitating the disassembly, installation, and maintenance of the camera 22 .

[0060] Among them, such as Figure 5 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the side of the sensor bracket 21 facing away from the corner window glass 11 is provided with a second card slot 213, and the side of the camera 22 facing the corner window glass 11 is provided with a second clip (not shown) that cooperates with the second card slot 213, thereby achieving the card connection between the camera 22 and the sensor bracket 21.

[0061] Further, if Figure 5 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, there are two second card slots 213 spaced apart along the front-to-rear direction of the vehicle, and there are multiple second buckles corresponding to each other, thereby further improving the connection reliability between the camera 22 and the sensor bracket 21.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 and Figure 10-12 As shown, the laser radar 23 is snap-fitted to the sensor bracket 21. This improves the connection reliability between the laser radar 23 and the sensor bracket 21 and facilitates the disassembly, installation, and maintenance of the laser radar 23.

[0063] Among them, such as Figure 5 、 Figure 10 and Figure 12 As shown, the side of the sensor bracket 21 facing away from the corner window glass 11 is provided with a third card slot 214, and the side of the laser radar 23 facing the corner window glass 11 is provided with a third card buckle (not shown) that cooperates with the third card slot 214, thereby realizing the card connection between the laser radar 23 and the sensor bracket 21.

[0064] Further, if Figure 5 、 Figure 10 and Figure 12 As shown, there are two third card slots 214 spaced apart along the front-to-rear direction of the vehicle, and there are multiple third buckles corresponding to each other, thereby further improving the connection reliability between the laser radar 23 and the sensor bracket 21.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present invention, the sensor bracket 21 is bonded to the corner window glass 11 , thereby improving the connection reliability between the sensor bracket 21 and the corner window glass 11 .

[0066] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the sensor bracket 21 has a glue groove 215 on the side facing the corner window glass 11. It is understood that glue can be placed in the glue groove 215 to achieve an adhesive connection between the sensor bracket 21 and the corner window glass 11. To prevent glue from entering the first through-hole 211 and the second through-hole 212, a first annular protrusion and a second annular protrusion can be provided on the bottom wall of the glue groove 215. The first annular protrusion is arranged around the first through-hole 211, and the second annular protrusion is arranged around the second through-hole 212. This prevents glue from entering the first through-hole 211 and the second through-hole 212 during glue application, thereby ensuring the detection reliability of the camera 22 and the lidar 23.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the window body 1 also includes: an edging 12 and a bright decorative strip 13. The edging 12 is arranged around the corner window glass 11, and the edge portion of the corner window glass 11 is embedded in the edging 12; the bright decorative strip 13 is arranged on the side of the edging 12 facing the outside of the vehicle and is connected to the edging 12.

[0068] It is understood that the edging 12 surrounds the corner glass 11, with the edge of the corner glass 11 embedded within the edging 12. Thus, the edging 12 protects the edge of the corner glass 11, thereby improving the structural strength and durability of the corner glass 11. The provision of the bright trim 13 not only beautifies the window body 1 but also further enhances the overall structural strength of the window body 1.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, the bright trim strip 13 is snap-fitted to the edging 12, thereby improving the connection reliability between the bright trim strip 13 and the edging 12. Specifically, the bright trim strip 13 has a first snap 132, and the edging 12 has a first slot 121 that cooperates with the first snap 132. The first snap 132 and the first slot 121 cooperate with each other to achieve the snap connection between the bright trim strip 13 and the edging 12.

[0070] Further, if Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, there are a plurality of first buckles 132 spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the bright decorative strip 13 , and a plurality of first slots 121 corresponding to each other, thereby further improving the connection reliability between the bright decorative strip 13 and the edging 12 .

[0071] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, the bright trim strip 13 is bonded to the edging 12. This improves the connection reliability between the bright trim strip 13 and the edging 12. The bright trim strip 13 has a first adhesive strip 131, which is used to bond the bright trim strip 13 to the edging 12.

[0072] Further, if Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, there are a plurality of first adhesive strips 131 spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the bright decorative strip 13 , thereby further improving the connection reliability between the bright decorative strip 13 and the edging 12 .

[0073] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, the bright trim strip 13 has a mounting hole 133 , and the corner window assembly 10 further includes: an early warning unit 3 , at least a portion of which is disposed in the mounting hole 133 and is connected to the central control signal of the vehicle.

[0074] It can be understood that the bright trim 13 is located at the outermost side of the vehicle and is in direct contact with the external environment outside the vehicle. At least part of the warning unit 3 is passed through the mounting hole 133, so that at least part of the warning unit 3 can be exposed to the external environment. When the sensor assembly 2 detects danger, the warning unit 3 is controlled by the vehicle's central control to send an alarm message so that pedestrians in the surrounding area can notice and actively avoid it, further improving the safety of the vehicle during driving.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, the warning unit 3 includes a mounting plate 31 and a warning module 32. The mounting plate 31 is arranged between the bright decorative strip 13 and the edging 12 and is connected to the edging 12. The warning module 32 is arranged on the side of the mounting plate 31 facing the bright decorative strip 13. The warning module 32 is suitable for being passed through the mounting hole 133.

[0076] It is understandable that the mounting plate 31 can be used to fix and install the early warning module 32 on the one hand, and can provide circuit support for the early warning module 32 on the other hand, thereby realizing the normal operation of the early warning module 32.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, the early warning module 32 includes at least one of the alarm module 321 and the light module 322, that is, the early warning module 32 may include only the alarm module 321, or only the light module 322, or may include both the alarm module 321 and the light module 322 at the same time. For example, in the present utility model, the early warning module 32 includes the alarm module 321 and the light module 322.

[0078] The alarm module 321 can emit an alarm sound to alert surrounding pedestrians, and the light module 322 can emit a warning light to alert surrounding pedestrians.

[0079] Furthermore, there is at least one mounting hole 133, and each mounting hole 133 is provided with one of the alarm module 321 and the light module 322. For example, in the present invention, there are two mounting holes 133 spaced apart along the front and rear directions of the vehicle, one of which is provided with the alarm module 321, and the other is provided with the light module 322, so that the surrounding pedestrians can be reminded at the same time by the alarm sound and the warning light, further facilitating the attention of the surrounding pedestrians so that they can actively avoid the vehicle, thereby further improving the safety of the vehicle during driving.

[0080] Further, if Figure 1 、 Figure 5 and Figure 10 As shown, the sensor assembly 2 includes a sensor bracket 21, a camera 22, and a laser radar 23. The sensor bracket 21 is connected to the corner window glass 11 and has a first through-hole 211 and a second through-hole 212 spaced apart therefrom. The camera 22 and the laser radar 23 are both connected to the vehicle's central control signal. Both the camera 22 and the laser radar 23 are connected to the side of the sensor bracket 21 facing away from the corner window glass 11. The lens of the camera 22 is positioned opposite the first through-hole 211, and the detection head of the laser radar 23 is positioned opposite the second through-hole 212.

[0081] The following describes the safe avoidance process in the present invention by taking the sensor assembly 2 including: a sensor bracket 21, a camera 22, a laser radar 23, and a warning module 32 including a warning module 321 and a light module 322 as an example:

[0082] When the vehicle starts moving, the laser radar 23 and camera 22 are used to detect the surrounding environment information on the left and right rear sides of the vehicle. The camera 22 captures the information and transmits it to the vehicle's central control screen, which the driver and passengers can view as needed. When the laser radar 23 identifies that the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle in the surrounding environment information is 30-60cm, a yellow prompt message will pop up on the vehicle's central control screen, and warning information such as "Attention" will be transmitted to the driver and passengers in the vehicle, triggering the warning module 32 to work, the light module 322 will display a constant yellow light, and the alarm module 321 will emit an extended alarm sound, jointly transmitting the warning information to the outside of the vehicle; when the laser radar 23 identifies that the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle in the surrounding environment information is ≤30cm, a red prompt message will pop up on the vehicle's central control screen, and warning information such as "Danger" will be transmitted to the driver and passengers in the vehicle, triggering the warning module 32 to work, the light module 322 will display red and flash rapidly, and the alarm module 321 will emit a rapid alarm sound, jointly transmitting the warning information to the outside of the vehicle; when the laser radar 23 identifies that the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle in the surrounding environment information is greater than 60cm, the laser radar 23, camera 22 and warning module 32 stop working, and the vehicle drives normally. When the vehicle is turned off, the laser radar 23 and the camera 22 stop detecting and capturing the surrounding environment information on the left and right rear sides of the vehicle, and the warning module 32 is also in a closed state.

[0083] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figures 1-8 As shown, the vehicle window body 1 also includes: an inlay 14 and a reinforcement 15. The inlay 14 is arranged on the side of the edging 12 facing the inner side of the vehicle and is connected to the edging 12. The inlay 14 is arranged on the lower side of the edging 12 and extends along the front-to-back direction of the vehicle; the reinforcement 15 is arranged on the front side of the edging 12 along the front-to-back direction of the vehicle and is connected to the edging 12. The reinforcement 15 extends along the up-down direction of the vehicle.

[0084] It is understood that the reinforcement 15 and the inlay 14 can enhance the structural strength of the vehicle window body 1, thereby improving the durability of the vehicle window body 1. The inlay 14 can be multiple and spaced apart along the vehicle front-to-rear direction, thereby further enhancing the structural strength of the vehicle window body 1. For example, in the present invention, there are two inlays 14 spaced apart along the vehicle front-to-rear direction, but the present invention is not limited to this. The number of inlays 14 can also be greater, such as three, four, five, or six.

[0085] Furthermore, the corner window glass 11 , the edging 12 , the inlay 14 and the reinforcement 15 are an integral injection-molded part, thereby improving the connection reliability among the corner window glass 11 , the edging 12 , the inlay 14 and the reinforcement 15 , thereby further improving the overall structural strength of the vehicle window body 1 .

[0086] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the bright decorative strips 13 are multiple and spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the edge 12. Thus, the structural strength of the window body 1 is further improved. Figure 5 and Figure 6 In the example shown, there are two bright decorative strips 13 , but the present invention is not limited thereto. There may be more bright decorative strips 13 , such as 3, 4, 5 or 6.

[0087] A vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

[0088] The vehicle according to the embodiment of the present invention includes: the above-mentioned corner window assembly 10 , a vehicle body sheet metal 20 and a rear side upper inner panel (not shown).

[0089] Specifically, the corner window assembly 10 is disposed on a side of the vehicle body sheet metal 20 facing the outside of the vehicle and is connected to the vehicle body sheet metal 20 ; the rear side panel upper inner panel is covered on the vehicle body sheet metal 20 and is connected to the vehicle body sheet metal 20 .

[0090] It is understood that the rear side upper inner panel covers the body sheet metal 20, thereby protecting the body sheet metal 20 from direct exposure to the external environment, reducing rust and wear of the body sheet metal 20, and extending the service life of the body sheet metal 20. Furthermore, the connection between the rear side upper inner panel and the body sheet metal 20 further enhances the overall structural strength of the vehicle and also contributes to the vehicle's aesthetic appearance.

[0091] According to the vehicle of the embodiment of the present invention, by providing the above-mentioned corner window assembly 10, the sensor assembly 2 is provided on the side of the corner window glass 11 facing the inside of the vehicle and is connected to the corner window glass 11. This prevents the sensor assembly 2 from being scratched by objects outside the vehicle and also prevents the impact of the external environment on the sensor assembly 2, thereby increasing the service life of the sensor assembly 2. At the same time, the requirements for the collision resistance and waterproof and dustproof performance of the sensor assembly 2 can be reduced, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the sensor assembly 2. At the same time, because the sensor assembly 2 is provided inside the vehicle, it can reduce wind resistance during vehicle driving. In addition, because the sensor assembly 2 is fixed to the corner window glass 11, the operation of the sensor assembly 2 can be realized, and there is no need to provide a drive mechanism to drive the sensor assembly 2, which simplifies the structure and allows more usable space inside the vehicle.

[0092] In some embodiments of the present invention, a mounting opening is provided on the inner panel of the rear side panel, and the mounting opening and the corner window glass 11 are arranged opposite to each other in the left and right directions of the vehicle. A mounting groove is formed between the hole wall of the mounting opening and the corner window glass 11, and the sensor assembly 2 is arranged in the mounting groove.

[0093] It is understood that the provision of the mounting groove, on the one hand, forms a window edge, which is beneficial to the waterproof sealing performance of the corner window assembly 10. On the other hand, the provision of the mounting groove allows the sensor assembly 2 to be positioned in the mounting groove, reducing the probability of passengers or the driver touching the sensor assembly 2 and avoiding interference with the operation of the sensor assembly 2. Furthermore, the placement of the sensor assembly 2 in the mounting groove prevents the sensor assembly 2 from occupying additional space in the vehicle, further freeing up more usable space inside the vehicle.

[0094] In some embodiments of the present invention, the depth of the mounting groove along the left-right direction of the vehicle is greater than 100 mm, for example, 102 mm, 110 mm, 120 mm or 125 mm, etc., thereby ensuring that the mounting groove has sufficient space to install the sensor assembly 2, preventing the sensor assembly 2 from protruding from the notch of the mounting groove, thereby further reducing the chance of passengers or drivers touching the sensor assembly 2, avoiding interference when the sensor assembly 2 is working, and the sensor assembly 2 is arranged in the mounting groove, preventing the sensor assembly 2 from occupying additional space in the vehicle, further allowing more usable space inside the vehicle.

[0095] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the corner window glass 11 is adhesively connected to the body sheet metal 20, thereby improving the connection reliability between the corner window glass 11 and the body sheet metal 20. It will be understood that a second adhesive strip 18 is provided between the corner window glass 11 and the body sheet metal 20. The second adhesive strip 18 is annular and surrounds the corner window glass 11, thereby facilitating the connection between the corner window glass 11 and the body sheet metal 20 and preventing the second adhesive strip 18 from obstructing the corner window glass 11.

[0096] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the window body is connected to the body sheet metal via fasteners, thereby improving the reliability of the connection between the window body and the body sheet metal. It is understood that the side of the corner window glass facing the body sheet metal is connected to a connection base (adhesive bonding, etc.), which is used to connect and fix the fasteners. The fasteners are inserted into the body sheet metal, thereby achieving the connection between the window body and the body sheet metal via fasteners.
