Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive supplies technology, and in particular to a side window structure for automobiles. Background Technology
[0002] Automotive glass is an essential component of a car body, primarily serving to provide visibility, protection, and light transmission. It can be installed in four types: the windshield, side windows, rear window, and sunroof. Some existing side windows are directly mounted to the vehicle body, such as the Toyota Land Cruiser 78 series. These side windows can be fixed, allowing light but lacking ventilation, or they can be movable, such as those with a sliding mechanism, allowing light and ventilation when open.
[0003] However, as people's living standards improve, it is also common to drive outdoors for camping. Therefore, although the above-mentioned glass design has the functions of lighting and ventilation, it has poor privacy and cannot meet more user needs. In addition, the side window glass is easily affected by adverse factors such as impacts, resulting in damage to the side window glass and low safety. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a car side window structure that addresses the shortcomings of the existing technology and solves the technical problem of poor privacy and security caused by the design of the glass installed in the rear side window of the car.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a car side window structure, including a base plate formed by stamping metal sheet and a flip cover connected to the base plate. The base plate is provided with a concave surface and a square hole communicating with the concave surface. The square hole is provided in the concave surface, and the flip cover is fitted into the concave surface so that the flip cover covers the square hole to form a hidden structure. At least one support rod is connected between the flip cover and the concave surface for support. At least one locking member is provided at the front end of the flip cover. When the flip cover is locked or released, the front end of the locking member is placed below the concave surface or the square hole.
[0006] The present invention is further configured such that: the base plate is also provided with a flange edge and a number of fixing holes provided on the flange edge, and the flange edge extends outward along the periphery of the concave surface.
[0007] The present invention is further provided with a foldable plastic strip at the connection between the flip cover and the bottom plate, and the two long ends of the plastic strip are respectively fixed to the side walls of the flip cover and the concave surface.
[0008] The present invention is further provided with a sealing strip between the flip cover and the concave surface, and the sealing strip is fixed to the bottom surface of the flip cover.
[0009] The present invention is further configured such that the support rod is a gas spring.
[0010] The present invention is further configured such that: the front end of the locking member is provided with a locking arm that can swing back and forth and an adjusting member that can be detachably installed on the locking arm. The adjusting member is used to extend and retract in the vertical direction so that the adjusting member abuts against the bottom surface of the concave surface.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows: By setting up a cooperative structure of base plate and flip cover, the support rod plays a supporting role. When the locking part is locked or released, the flip cover can be closed or opened relative to the base plate. Therefore, by installing the base plate onto the vehicle body and replacing the conventional side window glass with the flip cover, users can open the flip cover when camping outdoors or parking to enhance the light transmission and ventilation of the vehicle interior. When the flip cover is closed, it can ensure the structural strength of the vehicle body, improve the safety of camping, and enhance privacy protection in daily life, thus meeting more user needs.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the embodiments of this application.
[0021] In order to better understand the above-mentioned objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this application, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, and to understand in detail how to solve the problems raised in the background art.
[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a car side window structure includes a base plate 1 formed by stamping metal sheet and a flip cover 2 connected to the base plate 1. The base plate 1 is provided with a concave surface 11 and a square hole 12 communicating with the concave surface 11. The square hole 12 is located below the concave surface 11. The flip cover 2 is accommodated and fitted inside the concave surface 11 so that the flip cover 2 covers the square hole 12 to form a hidden structure. At least one support rod 3 is connected between the flip cover 2 and the concave surface 11 for support. At least one locking member 4 is provided at the front end of the flip cover 2. When the flip cover 2 is locked or released, the front end of the locking member 4 is located below the concave surface 11 or the square hole 12.
[0023] With the above solution, when the base plate 1 is installed on the vehicle body, the base plate 1 and the flip cover 2 cooperate with each other. The support rod 3 can provide support. When the locking part 4 is locked or released, the flip cover 2 can close or open relative to the base plate 1. Therefore, the flip cover 2 can replace the conventional side window glass in the existing technology. When users camp outdoors or park, opening the flip cover 2 can enhance the light transmission and ventilation of the vehicle interior. When the flip cover 2 is closed, it can ensure the structural strength of the vehicle body, improve the safety of camping, and enhance privacy protection in daily life, meeting more user needs. Furthermore, the flip cover 2 and the base plate 1 form a hidden structure, improving aesthetics and space utilization.
[0024] In practical applications, in this embodiment, the connection between the base plate 1 and the flip cover 2 is installed on the upper part of the vehicle body, that is, the flip cover 2 can be opened from bottom to top. When the flip cover 2 needs to be closed, the flip cover 2 is folded, the support rod 3 is retracted, and the front end of the locking part 4 is adjusted to be below the bottom surface of the concave surface 11 to complete the locking of the flip cover 2 and the base plate 1. When the flip cover 2 needs to be opened, the front end of the locking part 4 is adjusted to be below the square hole 12 so that the flip cover 2 and the base plate 1 are loosened, the flip cover 2 is opened, and the support rod 3 is extended.
[0025] In this embodiment, both the base plate 1 and the flip cover 2 are made of high-strength metal sheet by stamping, which has the advantages of light weight, high strength and corrosion resistance. The concave surface 11 and the square hole 12 are both rectangular structures. The square hole 12 is opened on the bottom surface of the concave surface 11, that is, the area of the square hole 12 is smaller than the area of the concave surface 11, and the depth of the concave surface 11 is greater than the thickness of the flip cover 2, which facilitates the placement of the sealing strip 6. Two support rods 3 are provided, and two locking parts 4 are also provided. The two support rods 3 or the two locking parts 4 are symmetrically distributed, which can ensure the stability of the support and the firmness of the flip cover 2 when it is closed, and prevent shaking when the vehicle body vibrates.
[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one specific embodiment of the improvement, the base plate 1 is further provided with a flange edge 13 and a plurality of fixing holes 131 provided on the flange edge 13. The flange edge 13 extends outward along the periphery of the concave surface 11. Specifically, the fixing holes 131 are threaded holes. During actual installation, the base plate 1 has an installation opening on the rear side of the vehicle body, which corresponds to the concave surface 11, so that the flange edge 13 can fit against the vehicle body. The base plate 1 is then fixed to the vehicle body with screws, ensuring the firmness and stability of the installation of the base plate 1.
[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in one specific embodiment of the improvement, a foldable plastic strip 5 is provided at the connection between the flip cover 2 and the base plate 1. The long ends of the plastic strip 5 are fixed to the tail of the flip cover 2 and the side wall of the concave surface 11, respectively. Specifically, the plastic strip 5 is made of plastic and consists of two rectangular mounting strips and a folded section connecting the two mounting strips. Each mounting strip has several mounting holes for fixing the base plate 1 and the flip cover 2. Based on the concealed structure formed by the base plate 1 and the flip cover 2, one mounting strip is fixed to the inner side wall of the concave surface 11, and the other mounting strip is fixed to the outer side wall of the tail end of the flip cover 2 away from the locking member 4. This ensures that the flip cover 2 fits after folding and improves the ease of disassembly of the flip cover 2 and the plastic strip 5, facilitating future replacement and maintenance.
[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in one specific embodiment of the improvement, a sealing strip 6 is provided between the flip cover 2 and the concave surface 11, and the sealing strip 6 is fixed to the bottom surface of the flip cover 2. Specifically, since the flip cover 2 and the bottom plate 1 are installed by a plastic strip 5, and the two mounting strips of the plastic strip 5 have extended arc-shaped segments, these arc-shaped segments can respectively adhere to the top surfaces of the flip cover 2 and the bottom plate 1 during fixed installation, thus achieving a waterproof effect. Therefore, in this embodiment, the sealing strip 6 is designed as a U-shaped structure. The sealing strip 6 is set along the three edges of the flip cover 2 excluding the tail end where the sealing strip 6 is installed, so that when the flip cover 2 is closed, the sealing strip 6 is tightly fitted to the top surface of the concave surface 11, that is, the sealing strip 6 is circumferentially set along the square hole 12, ensuring the waterproof effect of the edges of the flip cover 2 and preventing the infiltration of rainwater and other impurities; at the same time, the cross-section of the three edges of the flip cover 2 is a U-shaped structure, which facilitates the installation and snapping of the sealing strip 6 on the one hand, and improves the structural strength of the flip cover 2 on the other hand.
[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, in one specific embodiment of the improvement, the support rod 3 is a gas spring. Specifically, the support rod 3 is mainly composed of a cylinder and a piston rod. The piston rod is fixed at the end of the concave surface 11 away from the plastic strip 5, and the cylinder is fixed at the flip cover 2 near the plastic strip 5. The two ends of the support rod 3 can be fixed by L-shaped mounting pieces. The two support rods 3 can provide a smooth buffering effect.
[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in one specific embodiment of the improvement, the front end of the locking member 4 is provided with a locking arm 41 that can swing back and forth and an adjusting member 42 that can be detachably installed on the locking arm 41. The adjusting member 42 is used to extend and retract in the vertical direction so that the adjusting member 42 abuts against the bottom surface of the concave surface 11. Specifically, the locking component 4 can be a lever-operated spring lock, and the locking arm 41 can swing back and forth as the top surface latch rotates, thereby placing the front end of the locking arm 41 below the concave surface 11 or the square hole 12. In this embodiment, the adjusting component 42 is a screw and nut mating structure. The front end of the locking arm 41 is a horizontally set arc-shaped block with a threaded locking hole. In actual installation, the screw can be fixed from top to bottom first, that is, the nut is placed above the arc-shaped block. At this time, the nut can be adjusted to a height that is just in contact with the bottom surface of the concave surface 11. Then, the nut is fixed to the screw below the arc-shaped block to ensure the stability of the adjusting component 42. After long-term use, the setting height of the nut can be adjusted to prevent the adjusting component 42 from loosening and causing the flip cover 2 to shake or loosen. After the nut wears excessively, it can also be quickly disassembled and replaced for easy maintenance later.
[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model, and the protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions within the scope of this utility model's concept are within the protection scope of this utility model. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
