Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts manufacturing technology, and in particular to an automotive auxiliary component with graduations. Background Technology

[0002] During car driving, drivers rely primarily on their driving experience and visual memory to judge the vehicle's trajectory, lacking objective and precise reference data. Specifically, current car windshields only serve the basic functions of shielding from wind and rain and ensuring visibility, rearview mirrors are only used to observe the environment behind and to the sides of the vehicle, and the engine hood is only a protective structure for the engine; none of these three components have any markings to assist in judging the driving trajectory.

[0003] This design flaw makes drivers prone to judgment errors in various scenarios: for example, when meeting oncoming traffic on narrow roads, it's difficult to accurately judge the distance between the wheels and the curb; when reversing into a parking space or parallel parking, it's impossible to visually determine the relative position of obstacles behind the vehicle; when navigating narrow-width sections or avoiding small obstacles ahead, the prediction of the wheel's path relies on subjective experience, easily leading to accidents such as scrapes and collisions due to misjudgment. These problems are particularly pronounced for novice drivers with limited experience, increasing both the difficulty of driving and reducing driving safety.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model proposes an automotive auxiliary structure that is simple in structure, low in cost, unaffected by the external environment, and can effectively assist the driver in judging the driving trajectory. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing automotive auxiliary components that lack trajectory prediction references, and to provide an automotive auxiliary component with scales. By adding metric and imperial scales to the windshield, rearview mirror and engine cover, it provides the driver with objective and accurate visual references, reduces driving difficulty and improves driving safety.

[0006] A graduated automotive windshield, comprising an automotive windshield and a rearview mirror, characterized in that:

[0007] Both the car windshield and the car rearview mirror are double-layered laminated glass structures.

[0008] The bottom of the double-layered laminated glass of the car windshield is printed with a scale ruler one; the bottom of the double-layered laminated glass of the car rearview mirror is printed with a scale ruler two.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a car engine hood, with a scale printed along the length of the engine hood.

[0010] Furthermore, the first scale, the second scale, and the third scale are all metric and imperial scales.

[0011] Furthermore, the scale corresponds to the area that the driver can clearly observe in a normal driving posture.

[0012] Furthermore, the scale ruler is adapted to the visual range of the driver when observing the rear environment through the rearview mirror in a normal driving posture.

[0013] Furthermore, the scale three is matched with the driver's visual path when observing the engine hood through the windshield.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] Improve trajectory prediction accuracy: By setting scales on the windshield, rearview mirror and engine hood, the driver can determine the straight-line extension trajectory through the "line of sight - scale" two points.

[0016] Reduced driving difficulty: For novice drivers or drivers unfamiliar with the vehicle model, this utility model provides objective reference data, eliminating the need for a long time to adapt to the vehicle's visibility, and allowing drivers to quickly grasp the wheel's driving path and the distance relationship between the vehicle body and the surrounding environment, significantly reducing the difficulty of operation.

[0017] Simple structure and low cost: This utility model does not require the addition of electronic equipment. It achieves functional improvement simply by adding scales to existing automotive parts. The printing process is compatible with the automotive production process and is easy to promote and apply on a large scale.

[0018] Highly adaptable and reliable: The scale is set on the glass interlayer or engine cover surface, and is not affected by environmental factors such as rain, dust, and high temperature, resulting in a long service life. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, the accompanying drawings used in the embodiments will be briefly introduced below. It should be understood that the following drawings only show some embodiments of this utility model and should not be regarded as a limitation on the scope. For those skilled in the art, other related drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0020] Figure 1 This utility model relates to an automotive windshield.

[0021] Figure 2 This utility model relates to a car rearview mirror. Detailed Implementation

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0023] As shown in the attached figure, a car auxiliary component with graduations includes a car windshield 1, a car rearview mirror 2, and a car engine cover.

[0024] Both the car windshield 1 and the car rearview mirror 2 adopt a double-layer glass laminated structure, which meets the industry safety standards for automotive glass. The laminated layer not only improves the impact resistance of the glass, but also serves as a printing carrier for the scale, preventing the scale from falling off or becoming blurred due to external wear, rain erosion, or high temperature exposure.

[0025] Windshield Scale Ruler 1: A scale ruler 11 is printed on the bottom area of ​​the double-layered glass laminate of the car windshield 1. This area should correspond to the clear visual observation range of the driver in a normal driving posture. Specifically, it is the area at the bottom of the windshield where the driver can clearly see the scale without obstructing the road ahead when sitting in the driver's seat and looking straight ahead. It is usually 5-10cm away from the bottom edge of the windshield, and its length is adapted to the width of the windshield.

[0026] Rearview mirror scale: A scale 21 is printed on the bottom of the double-layered glass of the car rearview mirror 2. Its position is adapted to the visual range of the driver's observation of the rear environment through the rearview mirror when in a normal driving position - that is, when the driver observes the rear through the rearview mirror, he can clearly see the scale without deliberately adjusting his head position. It is usually located in the lower 1 / 4 area of ​​the rearview mirror glass, and its length is consistent with the width of the rearview mirror glass.

[0027] Engine hood scale: A scale is printed along the length of the car engine hood. The scale lines must match the driver's visual path when looking at the engine hood through the windshield. When the driver is sitting in the driver's seat and looking down through the windshield, the scale on the engine hood can be clearly seen, and the extension direction of the scale lines is consistent with the wheel travel trajectory. It is usually printed on both sides of the center line of the engine hood.

[0028] Scale 1 (11), Scale 2 (21), and Scale 3 are all dual-scale rulers in both metric and imperial units. The metric scale is in centimeters (cm) with a minimum division of 1 mm, while the imperial scale is in inches (in) with a minimum division of 1 / 32 in. The scale lines use high-contrast colors, such as white and yellow, which can be adjusted to match the background color of the glass or engine hood to ensure clear visibility.

[0029] The scale markings on the windshield and rearview mirror are printed onto the interlayer of double-layer glass using a screen printing process. The specific steps are as follows: ① During the interlayer production process, the designed scale pattern is transferred to the interlayer surface through screen printing; ② The printed interlayer is dried and cured (temperature 60-80℃, time 30-60min) to ensure that the scale adhesion meets the standards; ③ Following the conventional double-layer glass interlayer process, the interlayer with the scale markings is laminated with the two layers of glass, and then subjected to pressure (pressure 10-15MPa) and heating (temperature 120-140℃) in an autoclave to ensure that the three are tightly bonded, thus completing the production of the windshield and rearview mirror.

[0030] The scale on the engine hood is made of high-temperature and wear-resistant ink, which is printed on the surface of the engine hood using a pad printing process. After printing, it is baked at high temperature (150-180℃, 20-30min) to ensure that the ink is firmly bonded to the surface of the hood (usually an electrophoretic paint layer). It can withstand daily car washes, rain, and ultraviolet radiation, and its service life is consistent with the vehicle's life cycle.

[0031] This utility model provides a graduated automotive auxiliary component that solves the technical problem of the lack of trajectory reference in existing automobiles by adding metric and imperial scales to the windshield, rearview mirror, and engine hood. It has the advantages of simple structure, low cost, strong adaptability, and high reliability, and can be widely used in various models such as sedans, SUVs, and MPVs, with significant practical value and promotion prospects.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model patent and is not intended to limit this utility model patent. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model patent should be included within the protection scope of this utility model patent.
