Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of dimming glass, specifically stepless dimming glass. Background Technology

[0002] Existing electroluminescent glass typically employs a five-layer structure: glass-adhesive layer-color-changing film-adhesive layer-glass. Its functionality relies on external physical switches or mobile apps, making direct touch operation impossible. Integrating touch functionality usually requires an external, separate touch panel, increasing overall thickness, complicating assembly, and creating a visual disconnect between the external panel and the glass.

[0003] The physical separation of the touch function from the dimming glass disrupts the product's integrated form; the mismatch in size between the sensor and the color-changing film causes visual color difference; and the messy arrangement of the lead wires fails to meet the hidden wiring requirements of automotive applications.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: stepless dimming glass, comprising a first glass substrate 1, a first adhesive layer 2, an electrochromic film 3, a second adhesive layer 4, a capacitive touch sensor layer 5, a third adhesive layer 6, a second glass substrate 7, and a power module 8, which are sequentially stacked and bonded together.

[0023] The capacitive touch sensor layer 5 uses a transparent metal mesh substrate. The first adhesive layer 2, the second adhesive layer 4, and the third adhesive layer 6 are all PVB films. The color-changing film 3 and the sensor layer 5 are permanently pressed between the two glass substrates through the three sets of PVB adhesive layers to form a single solid component, eliminating the assembly gap and structural redundancy caused by the external touch panel.

[0024] The capacitive touch sensor layer 5 and the electrochromic film 3 have the same area and completely overlap. One end of the electrochromic film 3 has an electrode lead 31. The ground layer 52 makes the potential of the non-operating area zero to avoid interference from the capacitive signal. There is no visible color difference after the metal mesh and the color-changing film are stacked.

[0025] The electrodes of the electrochromic film 3 are divided into multiple independent conductive channels. Each channel is arranged in a strip and is linked to the mode selection area of ​​the touch control area 51. An insulating groove 32 is provided between adjacent channels. The strip channels realize louver-style zoned dimming. The insulating groove 32 prevents short circuits between channels. The bottom unidirectional lead wires make the wire harness concentrated and hidden in the window frame or desktop interlayer, meeting the requirement of no exposed wiring in the automotive interior.

[0026] The surface of the capacitive touch sensor layer 5 is provided with a touch control area 51 with silkscreen markings, including a switch area, a mode selection area and a linear sliding area. The non-control area of ​​the capacitive touch sensor layer 5 is covered with a ground layer 52. The linear sliding area is marked with arrow directions. The metal grid is hollowed out in the silkscreen area to avoid the grid lines from obscuring the operation markings. When the user slides along the arrow direction, the light transmittance changes continuously and gradually. The distance the finger moves is linearly related to the light transmittance, realizing stepless adjustment of mechanical operation.

[0027] One end of the capacitive touch sensor layer 5 is provided with an FPC lead 53. The FPC lead 53 is led out from the side of the glass, and the direction of the lead is parallel to the electrode lead 31 of the electrochromic film 3, located on the same side edge of the glass.

[0028] FPC lead 53 and electrode lead 31 are integrated on the bottom edge of the glass and are connected together to the external power module 8, the input of which is a USB interface.

[0029] An annular waterproof groove 71 is provided at the edge of the bonding surface between the second glass substrate 7 and the capacitive touch sensor layer 5. The interior of the annular waterproof groove 71 is filled with sealant 72 to block water vapor from penetrating along the interlayer gaps, prevent the metal mesh electrode from oxidizing and failing, and improve the durability of the car in high humidity environment.

[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
