DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains. The terms used herein in the specification of this invention are intended only to describe specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this invention. The term "or / and" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0022] The utility model provides a corner window assembly and a vehicle. The vehicle of the utility model includes a vehicle body and the corner window assembly of the utility model. Figure 1 The corner window assembly of the present invention includes a corner window glass 10 and a corner window trim. The corner window trim is provided at the edge of the corner window glass 10 to form a corner window unit with the corner window glass 10. The vehicle body includes a side panel 50 and a fender 60. The side panel 50 includes a corner window pillar 51 and a covered panel 52. The covered panel 52 is provided with a fender mounting bracket 71. The fender 60 covers the covered panel 52 and has a bracket connection portion 72 connected to the fender mounting bracket 71. A corner window arrangement space is formed between the edge of the covered panel 52 and the corner window pillar 51. The corner window glass 10 occupies at least a portion of the corner window arrangement space. The corner window trim connects the corner window pillar 51 and the edge of the covered panel 52.

[0023] The present invention does not limit the specific location of the corner window assembly on the vehicle body, nor does it limit the specific shape of the corner window assembly. The corner window assembly can be a front corner window or a rear corner window, and the corner window pillar 51 can be an A-pillar, a C-pillar, or a D-pillar. The corner window glass 10 can be triangular or quadrilateral. The edges of the corner window glass 10 can be entirely straight or include curved edges.

[0024] See Figure 1 The fender mounting bracket 71 is fixedly mounted on the side of the covered panel 52 relatively away from the vehicle cab, and the bracket connecting portion 72 is bent and connected to the edge of the fender 60 body. One of the fender mounting bracket 71 and the bracket connecting portion 72 is provided with a first fastening hole, and the other is provided with a second fastening hole. The first fastening hole and the second fastening hole are communicated and allow the fastener 73 to pass through. The fender mounting bracket 71 and the bracket connecting portion 72 are stacked and the two are detachably connected by the fastener 73 passing through the first fastening hole and the second fastening hole.

[0025] The fastener 73 may be a bolt. The first and second fastening holes are coaxially arranged to allow the threaded portion of the bolt to pass through. The axial direction of the bolt is defined as the predetermined fastener assembly and disassembly direction. The first and second fastening holes are arranged and communicate along the predetermined fastener assembly and disassembly direction. The fender mounting bracket 71 and the bracket connecting portion 72 are stacked and arranged along the predetermined fastener assembly and disassembly direction. The fastener 73 penetrates the fender mounting bracket 71 and the bracket connecting portion 72 along the predetermined fastener assembly and disassembly direction and exits the first and second fastening holes along the predetermined fastener assembly and disassembly direction. The fastener 73 may also be a screw or a fixing pin. When the fastener 73 is a screw or a fixing pin, the axial directions of the screw and the fixing pin serve as the predetermined fastener assembly and disassembly direction.

[0026] Optionally, the preset fastener disassembly and assembly direction is close to or converges to the Z-axis extension direction of the vehicle coordinate system, and the fender mounting bracket 71 and the bracket connecting portion 72 are stacked approximately in the vertical direction.

[0027] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the corner window assembly of the present invention, the corner window edging includes a decorative floating edge 20 with an avoidance hole 24. The decorative floating edge 20 is provided at a portion of the edge of the corner window glass 10 relatively close to the fender 60 and is used to cover the fender mounting bracket 71 and / or the bracket connecting portion 72. The avoidance hole 24 is used as a through hole for an external tool to pass through the decorative floating edge 20. The external tool passes through the avoidance hole 24 to loosen the fastener 73 or apply a tightening force to the fastener 73 to achieve connection or separation of the fender mounting bracket 71 and the bracket connecting portion 72.

[0028] Optionally, the fender mounting bracket 71 and the bracket connecting portion 72 are stacked approximately in the vertical direction, and the decorative floating edge 20 is superimposed on one of the fender mounting bracket 71 and the bracket connecting portion 72 that is relatively far away from the ground. Such an arrangement can greatly reduce the size of the decorative floating edge 20 and ensure the covering effect of the decorative floating edge 20, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the corner window assembly.

[0029] Of course, in other embodiments, the fender mounting bracket 71 and the bracket connecting portion 72 do not need to be stacked, and a portion of the decorative floating edge 20 is located above the fender mounting bracket 71 and covers the fender mounting bracket 71, and another portion of the decorative floating edge 20 is located above the bracket connecting portion 72 and covers the bracket connecting portion 72.

[0030] It should be noted that the term "above" in this utility model includes both vertically above and obliquely above. For example, when a structure is located above another structure, this includes both the case where the former is located vertically above the latter and the two are arranged sequentially along the Z-axis of the vehicle coordinate system, and the case where the former is located obliquely above the latter and the two are not only located at different positions along the Z-axis of the vehicle coordinate system, but also at different positions along the X-axis and / or Y-axis of the vehicle coordinate system.

[0031] Therefore, the setting of the avoidance through-hole 24 avoids interference between the corner window unit and external tools, thereby allowing external tools to apply a disassembly force or a tightening force to the fastener 73 connecting the fender mounting bracket 71 and the bracket connecting portion 72, thereby realizing the disassembly and assembly of the fender 60 and the side panel 50 without disassembling the corner window unit, that is, when disassembling and assembling the fender 60 and the side panel 50, the corner window unit always remains fixedly connected to the side panel 50.

[0032] Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the corner window unit is located between the side of the fender 60 that is relatively far from the ground and the corner window pillar 51. The side of the fender 60 that is relatively far from the ground is referred to as the top edge of the fender 60. The bracket connecting portion 72 is bent and connected to the top edge of the fender 60. The decorative floating edge 20 is provided on the edge of the corner window glass 10, which is relatively close to the top edge of the fender 60. The decorative floating edge 20 can be a plastic component and serves as a plastic insert for the corner window unit. Optionally, the decorative floating edge 20 is fixed with a mounting nail or pin for fixedly engaging with the top edge of the covered panel 52. The top edge of the covered panel 52 is the side of the covered panel 52 that is relatively far from the ground and corresponds to the top edge of the fender 60.

[0033] In some embodiments, the corner window assembly further includes a decorative piece 30, which is detachably mounted on the decorative floating edge 20 and covers the avoidance hole 24, thereby beautifying the corner window unit. Preferably, a detachable connection is formed between the decorative piece 30 and the decorative floating edge 20. Figure 1 One of the decorative piece 30 and the decorative floating edge 20 is provided with a card slot 42, and the other has a buckle 41 adapted to the card slot 42. The decorative piece 30 and the decorative floating edge 20 are detachably fixed by the buckle 41 and the card slot 42. In order to avoid failure of the card slot 42 and the buckle 41 resulting in failure of the connection between the decorative piece 30 and the decorative floating edge 20, the decorative piece 30 and the decorative floating edge 20 are also bonded by Velcro 43 and / or tape.

[0034] The purpose of the decorative part 30 is not limited to beautifying the corner window unit. Its more important role is to maintain the cleanliness and reliability of the fender mounting bracket 71, the bracket connecting part 72 and the fastener 73 by covering the avoidance hole 24, blocking dust and liquid from entering the avoidance hole 24, preventing the fender mounting bracket 71, the bracket connecting part 72 and the fastener 73 from being contaminated, rusted and failing, and ensuring that external tools can smoothly load disassembly force and tightening force to the fastener 73.

[0035] It is understood that in other embodiments, the decorative strip and the decorative trim 20 can be detachably connected by other means, such as a magnetic connection. A magnetic connection, a snap 41 connection, or Velcro 43 or adhesive tape can all enhance the ease of removal of the decorative strip and the decorative trim 20. When disassembling and repairing the fender 60, the decorative strip and the decorative trim 20 can be separated manually.

[0036] Optionally, Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the decorative element 30 comprises a decorative strip with a coating, which may be chrome. Under sunlight, the decorative strip is bright and reflective. The decorative strip extends along the decorative floating edge 20 and mates with the top edge of the fender 60. This allows the decorative strip to connect end-to-end with the door frame molding adjacent to the fender 60, thereby enhancing the continuity of the vehicle body decorative strip.

[0037] In other embodiments, the decorative element 30 may also include a reflective sticker, a reflector, a vehicle model nameplate, etc.

[0038] Further, see Figure 1 The decorative floating edge 20 includes a floating step 21 protruding relative to the outer side of the corner window glass 10. The outer side of the corner window glass 10 is the side of the corner window glass 10 relatively away from the vehicle cab. The floating step 21 is located above the fender mounting bracket 71 and the bracket connecting portion 72, and includes a first side and a second side arranged opposite to each other. The first side and the second side are arranged in sequence approximately along the extension direction of the Z-axis of the vehicle coordinate system. The avoidance through hole 24 passes through the first side and the second side. The first side is the side of the floating step 21 relatively away from the ground and forms a step groove between it and the outer side of the corner window glass 10. The second side forms an adaptive bottom edge for adjacent to the fender mounting bracket 71 and / or the bracket connecting portion 72.

[0039] Optionally, the depth of the avoidance hole 24 is perpendicular to the adaptable bottom edge, which is approximately parallel to the X- and Y-axes of the vehicle coordinate system. This arrangement allows an external tool to enter and pass through the floating step 21 approximately along the Z-axis of the vehicle coordinate system, thereby applying an external force to the fastener 73. When the fastener 73 is a bolt or screw, this facilitates torque application to the external tool while the external tool is in a vertically extended position, allowing the adaptable bottom edge to mate with the top edge of the fender 60.

[0040] Preferably, the depth direction of the avoidance hole 24 is aligned with the predetermined fastener assembly and disassembly direction. Alternatively, the avoidance hole 24, the first fastening hole, and the second fastening hole are sequentially arranged along the predetermined fastener assembly and disassembly direction. This arrangement allows the fastener 73 to penetrate the floating step 21 along the predetermined fastener assembly and disassembly direction, thereby connecting or disconnecting the fender mounting bracket 71 and the bracket connecting portion 72, without requiring external tools to adjust the fastener 73's posture.

[0041] Further, see Figure 2 The avoidance hole 24 extends through the first side, forming a tool actuation end inlet 241. The actuation end of an external tool first enters the avoidance hole 24 through the tool actuation end inlet 241, then extends from the second side to connect with the fastener 73. The actuation end of the external tool is the end of the external tool that is adapted to fit the fastener 73. The decorative floating edge 20 also includes an anti-scratch edge 22. The anti-scratch edge 22 protrudes from the first side and extends along the outside of the corner window glass 10, thereby covering a portion of the corner window glass 10. The corner window glass 10 and the tool actuation end inlet 241 are respectively located on either side of the anti-scratch edge 22. This configuration prevents external tools or fasteners 73 from contacting the corner window glass 10, reducing the risk of scratches on the corner window glass 10.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, the anti-scratch edge 22 is located within the stepped groove formed between the corner window glass 10 and the first side, and a stepped groove is formed between the anti-scratch edge 22 and the first side. Therefore, when using external tools to remove or install the fender 60, the anti-scratch edge 22 can replace the corner window glass 10 contact fasteners 73 and external tools. Compared to scratching the outer side of the corner window glass 10, scratching the anti-scratch edge 22 is more acceptable to the user.

[0043] Further, see Figure 1 and Figure 2The decorative floating edge 20 also includes a decorative mounting slope for supporting the decorative element 30. The decorative mounting slope is protruding from the first side and has a decorative mounting slope 23 that fits against the back of the decorative element 30. One end of the decorative mounting slope 23 originates from the end of the anti-scratch edge 22 that is relatively far from the floating step 21 and the other end extends to the bottom edge. Optionally, a Velcro strip 43 is positioned between the back of the decorative element 30 and the decorative mounting slope 23. A slot 42 is defined on one of the decorative mounting slope 23 and the back of the decorative element 30, and a buckle 41 that fits into the slot 42 is protruding from the other.

[0044] With this arrangement, the trim installation bevel 23 forms an angle with the Z axis of the vehicle coordinate system, and also forms an angle with the Y axis of the vehicle coordinate system. The orientation of the trim installation bevel 23 makes it easier for the user to apply pressure to the trim 30 so that the back of the trim 30 is pressed against the trim installation bevel 23.

[0045] Figure 2 In the embodiment shown, the floating step 21, the trim installation slope and the anti-scratch edge 22 together form a blocking groove 25 that is approximately a step groove. The tool execution end inlet 241 is connected to the blocking groove 25, and the execution end of the external tool enters the avoidance hole 24 from the blocking groove 25. Figure 2 On the basis of the shown embodiment, the decorative part 30 can also be eliminated and replaced with a blocking cover, which is detachably combined with the blocking cover groove 25 and adapted to each other. The user can manually install the blocking cover into the blocking cover groove 25 or remove the blocking cover from the blocking cover groove 25. The blocking cover can cover the avoidance hole 24. The blocking cover and the inner surface of the blocking cover groove 25 are fixedly matched to prevent dust and moisture from invading the blocking cover groove 25.

[0046] Of course, the decorative piece 30 may also be retained, that is, when the blocking cover is disposed in the blocking cover groove 25 and fixedly engaged with the inner wall of the blocking cover groove 25 , the decorative piece 30 covers the blocking cover and the decorative piece mounting inclined surface 23 .

[0047] The various technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the various technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0048] Those skilled in the art should recognize that the above embodiments are merely intended to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. As long as they are within the spirit of the present invention, appropriate changes and modifications to the above embodiments fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
