Detailed Implementation
[0027] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification.
[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 5It should be understood that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc., illustrated in the accompanying drawings are merely for illustrative purposes to aid those skilled in the art and are not intended to limit the scope of this invention. Therefore, they have no substantial technical significance. Any modifications to the structure, changes in proportions, or adjustments to size, without affecting the effectiveness and purpose of this invention, should still fall within the scope of the disclosed technical content. Furthermore, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "middle," and "one" used in this specification are merely for clarity and not intended to limit the scope of this invention.

[0029] In order to describe this utility model in detail, the following is a specific description of an integrated dimming glass lifting module for a car door and a car door:
[0030] Please combine Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides an integrated dimming glass lifting module for car doors, including a supporting base plate 9, a dimming glass controller, and a glass lifting assembly. The supporting base plate 9 has a connecting part for connecting to an inner panel, and has a first mounting area and a second mounting area. The dimming glass controller is disposed on the first mounting area; the glass lifting assembly is disposed on the second mounting area; wherein, the dimming glass controller and the glass lifting assembly are electrically connected. By integrating both the dimming glass controller and the glass lifting assembly onto the supporting base plate 9, the integrated dimming glass lifting module can be directly connected to the inner panel during on-site assembly of the car door. This saves assembly time for on-site assembly of the dimming glass controller and the glass lifting assembly, improving the assembly efficiency of the car door. Meanwhile, since the glass lifting assembly is set on the support base plate 9, by covering the mounting hole of the inner plate with the support base plate 9, the glass lifting assembly can be easily assembled into the cavity of the vehicle body through the mounting hole. There is no need for workers to put their hands into the mounting hole to assemble the glass lifting assembly. This solves the problem that the assembly space is limited when workers put their hands into the mounting hole to assemble the glass lifting assembly due to the small size of the mounting hole on the inner plate, resulting in slow assembly efficiency.
[0031] The glass lifting assembly also includes a cable chain bracket 2 and a power supply cable chain 1 mounted on the cable chain bracket 2. The cable chain bracket 2 is mounted on a support base plate 9 and has a receiving groove extending in a first direction. The power supply cable chain 1 is at least partially accommodated in the receiving groove, which constrains the movement trajectory of the power supply cable chain 1. One end of the power supply cable chain 1 is connected to the cable chain bracket 2, and the other end is connected to the glass bracket 14 of the glass lifting assembly. The wiring harness connecting the dimming glass controller and the glass lifting assembly is located inside the power supply cable chain 1. Since the wiring harness connecting the dimming glass controller and the glass lifting assembly needs to move with the glass bracket 14 during the glass lifting and lowering process, it is prone to wear during movement. By setting the power supply cable chain 1, the wiring harness can be pulled and protected. Simultaneously, by confining the power supply cable chain 1 to the cable chain bracket 2, it can be prevented from swaying back and forth during movement, colliding with surrounding components, generating noise, and affecting the driving comfort and satisfaction of passengers. In this embodiment, the cable chain bracket 2 and the support base plate 9 can be integrally injection molded to ensure the precision between the cable chain bracket 2 and the support base plate 9, while reducing the number of door assembly steps and improving the assembly efficiency of the door.
[0032] Specifically, the power supply cable chain 1 is bent and coiled, and the bending direction of the power supply cable chain 1 is perpendicular to the first direction. In this embodiment, as shown... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the bending direction of the power supply cable chain 1 extends along the thickness direction of the door. This method can reduce the space occupied by the power supply cable chain 1 in the second direction, and is suitable for doors where the space between the integrated dimming glass lifting module and the outer panel in the thickness direction of the door is relatively spacious. In another embodiment, as... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the power supply cable chain 1 is bent and coiled, with the bending direction perpendicular to the thickness direction of the door. The cable chain bracket 2 has two opposing receiving slots, and the bent power supply cable chain 1 is positioned between these slots. Multiple ventilation holes 17 are spaced apart on the walls of each receiving slot along a first direction. To prevent the power supply cable chain 1 from swinging and colliding with surrounding components along the thickness direction of the door, the extension length of the cable chain bracket 2 along the first direction is relatively long. Figure 1 The cable chain bracket 2 is long enough to constrain the power cable chain 1 in both the thickness direction and the second direction of the door, preventing it from swinging during vehicle bumps and colliding with other components, thus avoiding noise. Multiple vents 17 on the cable chain bracket 2 accelerate liquid outflow, preventing liquid from entering the power cable chain 1 and accumulating between it and the bracket 2, thus avoiding corrosion or damage. The vents 17 also increase the contact area between the power cable chain 1 and air, accelerating evaporation of any liquid entering the chain. Both the second and first directions are perpendicular to the thickness direction of the door, with the first direction being the direction of glass lifting.
[0033] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the glass lifting assembly also includes a transmission line 7, winding wheels 6, and a glass bracket 14. There are two winding wheels 6, spaced apart along a first direction on the support base plate 9. The glass bracket 14 is movable along the first direction on the support base plate 9 and connected to the transmission line 7. The transmission line 7 is taut between the two winding wheels 6. Two reinforcing structures are provided between the two winding wheels 6 on the support base plate 9, each close to its corresponding winding wheel 6. The specific connection method between the glass bracket 14 and the transmission line 7 is prior art and will not be described further here. The glass bracket 14 is driven to move along the first direction by the winding wheels 6 and the transmission line 7, resulting in a simple structure and good transmission effect. Since the winding wheel 6 of the supporting base plate 9 drives the glass bracket 14 to move when rotating, thereby raising and lowering the car window glass, the winding wheel 6 needs to bear a certain stress. A reinforcing structure is set between the two winding wheels 6, with each reinforcing structure close to its corresponding winding wheel 6. This prevents the supporting base plate 9 at the winding wheel 6 from being damaged when subjected to excessive stress, improving the practicality and support strength of the supporting base plate 9 and ensuring the stability of the integrated dimming glass lifting module during use. In this embodiment, the transmission line 7 is a steel wire rope. Steel wire ropes have advantages such as high load-bearing capacity and good wear resistance. In some embodiments, the transmission line 7 can be a nylon rope. The type of transmission line 7 can be adjusted according to actual usage needs. In this embodiment, a sliding rail 15 extending along a first direction is provided on the supporting base plate 9. The glass bracket 14 is engaged with the sliding rail 15 and is moved along the first direction on the sliding rail 15. By setting the sliding rail 15, the movement trajectory of the glass bracket 14 can be constrained, thereby constraining the raising and lowering of the car door glass and ensuring the smoothness and reliability of glass raising and lowering.
[0034] Specifically, the reinforcing structure includes multiple reinforcing ribs 16, which extend along a first direction and are spaced apart along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. By using reinforcing ribs 16, the strength of the supporting base plate 9 at the winding wheel 6 is enhanced; the structure is simple and provides good support. In other embodiments, the strength at the supporting base plate 9 at the winding wheel 6 can be increased by thickening the supporting base plate 9. The type of reinforcing structure can be adjusted according to actual needs.
[0035] Specifically, the first mounting area of the support base plate 9 is located on the side of the support base plate 9 closest to the vehicle interior. The first mounting area and the second mounting area of the support base plate 9 are located on opposite sides of the support base plate 9, respectively. The support base plate 9 is used to seal the mounting holes on the inner panel. It should be noted that the side of the inner panel facing the outer panel is a wet area, which may be at risk of liquid ingress. The side of the inner panel away from the outer panel is a dry area, which has a better liquid sealing effect, so liquid is less likely to enter this area. By placing the dimming glass controller and the glass lifting assembly on opposite sides of the support base plate 9, the dimming glass controller can be placed in the dry area of the inner panel, and the glass lifting assembly can be placed in the wet area of the inner panel, avoiding the problem of short circuit failure caused by water ingress into the dimming glass controller. In this embodiment, the support base plate 9 is also provided with a door lock driver 12 for driving the door lock opening and closing.
[0036] In this embodiment, the glass lifting assembly further includes a drive wheel 11 and a drive component for driving the drive wheel 11 to rotate. Both the drive component and the drive wheel 11 are mounted on the support base plate 9. The rotation axis of the drive wheel extends along the thickness direction of the door. The drive component is located on the side where the dimming glass controller is installed, and the drive wheel 11 is located on the opposite side of the dimming glass controller. The drive component passes through the support base plate 9 and connects to the drive wheel 11. The drive wheel 11 is positioned between two winding wheels 6 along a first direction. The drive wheel 11 and the power supply cable chain 1 are located on opposite sides of the line connecting the two winding wheels 6. The drive wheel 11 and the two winding wheels 6 together tension the transmission line 7. By driving the transmission line 7 with the drive wheel 11, the installation position of the drive component can be rationally arranged as needed, optimizing the spatial arrangement on the support base plate 9. Simultaneously, positioning the drive wheel 11 between the two winding wheels 6 in the first direction enhances the driving force on the glass bracket 14. Furthermore, positioning the drive component on the side of the support base where the dimming glass controller is installed avoids the problem of short-circuit failure caused by liquid entering the drive component. In this embodiment, the driving component is a waterproof motor. One end of the waterproof motor connected to the drive wheel 11 is pressed against the support base plate 9 to prevent liquid from the wet area of the inner plate from entering the dry area of the inner plate.
[0037] This utility model also provides a car door, including a door body and the integrated dimming glass lifting module described above. An assembly hole is provided on the inner panel of the door body, and a support base plate 9 covers the assembly hole. The glass lifting assembly is located within the cavity of the door body. By integrating the dimming glass controller and the glass lifting assembly onto the support base plate 9 and covering the assembly hole with the support base plate 9, the area of the assembly hole can be increased to a certain extent, facilitating door assembly work by workers through the assembly hole, thereby improving the efficiency of door assembly and installation. Simultaneously, by setting the glass lifting assembly on the support base plate 9, it can be installed on the inner panel after the support base plate 9 and the glass lifting assembly are assembled, making assembly more convenient and efficient.
[0038] In this embodiment, the support base plate 9 is connected to the inner panel via buckles 5, facilitating easy installation and removal. The connecting portion is located at the edge of the support base plate 9, and the support base plate 9 is connected to the inner panel of the door via the connecting portion. Buckles 5 are spaced apart on the connecting portion for connection to the inner panel. The support base plate 9 is connected to the inner panel via buckles 5, and sealant 13 is provided on the side of the connecting portion near the inner panel, sealing the support base plate 9 to the inner panel. In some embodiments, the support base plate 9 is connected to the inner panel via bolts or welding. The connection method between the support base plate 9 and the inner panel can be adjusted according to actual needs. The connecting portion also includes a positioning post 10 for positioning with the inner panel. The inner panel has positioning holes or positioning recesses that mate with the positioning post 10. The positioning post 10 is at least partially accommodated in the positioning hole or positioning recess to achieve positioning. The positioning post 10 extends outwards along the thickness direction of the door. It should be noted that "inner" and "outer" are relative directional terms. The side of the supporting base plate 9 closest to the carriage is called the inner side, and the side of the supporting base plate 9 furthest from the carriage is called the outer side.
[0039] The support base plate 9 has a first wiring hole. The dimming glass controller and the glass lifting assembly are electrically connected via a connecting harness passing through the first wiring hole. A first waterproof plug 3 is provided on the connecting harness and covers the first wiring hole. The first wiring hole on the support base plate 9 facilitates the electrical connection of the dimming glass controller connector to the glass bracket 14 connector during the door assembly wiring harness connection process. The support base plate 9 has a working hole 18 for workers to electrically connect the dimming glass controller connector to the glass bracket 14 connector. Electrical connection between the dimming glass controller connector and the glass bracket 14 connector is prior art and will not be described further. In one embodiment, as... Figure 3 As shown, the wiring harness connecting the dimming glass controller and the glass bracket 14 passes through the working hole 18 for electrical connection, thus saving the area of the support base plate 9 occupied by the aforementioned first wiring hole. In another embodiment, as... Figure 1 As shown, the connecting wire harness that electrically connects the dimming glass controller and the glass bracket 14 passes through a first connecting hole and a working hole 18, which are each independent holes. The first connecting hole is sealed with a first waterproof plug, and the working hole 18 is sealed with a second waterproof plug 4. It should be noted that after the connector on the glass bracket 14 is electrically connected to the connector connected to the glass, the electrical connection between the dimming glass controller and the glass is realized. The operation of the above-mentioned connecting wire harness is completed by the worker reaching into the working hole. The electrical connection between the connector on the glass bracket 14 and the connector connected to the glass is prior art and will not be described in detail here. In this embodiment, the support base plate 9 also has a second connecting hole 8 for the connecting wire harness that is electrically connected to other components. The second connecting hole 8 is also sealed with a second waterproof plug 4.
[0040] In summary, by integrating the dimming glass controller and the window lifting assembly onto the support base plate 9, the assembly steps and time required for on-site assembly of the dimming glass controller and the window lifting assembly can be saved during the door assembly process, thus improving the assembly efficiency of the door. Furthermore, since the window lifting assembly is mounted on the support base plate 9, by covering the mounting holes in the inner panel with the support base plate 9, the window lifting assembly can be easily assembled into the cavity of the vehicle body without requiring workers to reach into the mounting holes to assemble the window lifting assembly.
[0041] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
