Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transportation vehicles, and in particular to a glass edging assembly. Background Technology

[0002] Vehicles, such as cars, are equipped with windows (windshields, rear windows, sunroofs, and side windows, etc.) to improve driving comfort and safety. The glass of car windows is often positioned and sealed by edging.

[0003] Currently, when the edging is installed on the body sheet metal, there is a large contact area between the edging and the body sheet metal. On the one hand, this makes the glass embedded in the edging susceptible to the influence of the sheet metal, and the poor glass surface can easily lead to instability. On the other hand, the large contact area means that a large amount of edging is used, resulting in high manufacturing costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a glass edge-wrapping assembly to address the problems of unstable glass surface differences and high edge-wrapping costs caused by the large contact area between the edge-wrapping and the body sheet metal after it is installed on the body sheet metal.

[0005] A glass edging assembly for mounting on a vehicle body sheet metal, the glass edging assembly comprising a glass body, an edging, and a support block, wherein: The edging is connected to the glass body, and the edging also overlaps the first mounting side of the body sheet metal; The number of support blocks is multiple, and the multiple support blocks are spaced apart on the side of the edging away from the glass body. The multiple support blocks are arranged circumferentially along the contour of the edging, and the support blocks abut against the second mounting side of the body sheet metal. The second mounting side is connected to the first mounting side at a preset angle.

[0006] In one embodiment, the edging includes a hard seat and a soft tongue connected to one side of the hard seat, the hard seat being connected to the bottom wall in the glass body, and the soft tongue overlapping the first mounting side; The support block is located on the side of the hard seat opposite to the glass body.

[0007] In one embodiment, the support block and the hard seat are integrally formed.

[0008] In one embodiment, the glass edging assembly includes a first adhesive layer that connects the hard seat to the support block.

[0009] In one embodiment, the support block is made of one of the following materials: TPE, EPDM, and PVC.

[0010] In one embodiment, the edging further includes a second adhesive layer that connects the hard base to the glass body.

[0011] In one embodiment, the glass edging assembly further includes an elastic buffer layer disposed on the side of the support block opposite to the edging, and the elastic buffer layer abuts against the second mounting side.

[0012] In one embodiment, a pressure relief groove is provided on the outer side of the soft tongue near the hard seat.

[0013] In one embodiment, the soft tongue has a first mating area that overlaps the first mounting side, and the outer layer of the first mating area is provided with a first wear-resistant area.

[0014] In one embodiment, the soft tongue is made of one of TPE, EPDM, and PVC materials, wherein: When the material of the soft tongue is TPE, the first wear-resistant area is TPV. When the material of the soft tongue is EPDM, the first wear-resistant area is made of polyurethane.

[0015] The aforementioned glass edging assembly, by setting multiple support blocks at intervals on the side of the edging away from the glass body, with the support blocks abutting against the second mounting side of the vehicle body sheet metal, significantly reduces the contact area between the edging and the vehicle body sheet metal compared to the existing technology that uses only one side of the edging to abut against the body sheet metal. This changes the contact from surface contact to point contact, thereby reducing the impact of the body body sheet metal on the glass body embedded in the edging and stabilizing glass surface differences. Furthermore, replacing the existing edging with support blocks, the spaced-out support blocks reduce material usage, achieving lightweight construction that meets market requirements.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, one embodiment of this application provides a glass edging assembly 10 for mounting on a vehicle body sheet 20. The glass edging assembly 10 includes a glass body 100, an edging 200, and a support block 300. The edging 200 is connected to the glass body 100 and also overlaps the first mounting side 22 of the vehicle body sheet 20. It should be noted that the vehicle body sheet 20 has a receiving space 21, preferably L-shaped. The vertical inner wall of the L-shaped receiving space 21 is the first mounting side 22, and the horizontal inner wall of the L-shaped receiving space 21 is the second mounting side 23.

[0026] Multiple support blocks 300 are provided, positioned on the side of the edging 200 away from the glass body 100. These support blocks 300 are spaced apart circumferentially along the contour of the edging 200. It should be noted that this application provides a sectional view, showing the support blocks 300 distributed circumferentially along the contour of the edging 200, with each support block 300 abutting against the second mounting side 23 of the body sheet metal 20. The second mounting side 23 is connected to the first mounting side 22 at a predetermined angle, preferably 90°. In specific configurations, the number of support blocks 300 can be 2, 5, 8, 10, or more, depending on the length of the edging 200; no further limitations are imposed here. It should also be emphasized that the multiple support blocks 300 can be distributed on the edging 200 with uniform or non-uniform spacing, depending on the specific situation. The height of the support blocks 300 can be manufactured according to actual needs; no further limitations are imposed here.

[0027] The aforementioned glass edging assembly 10, by setting multiple support blocks 300 spaced apart on the side of the edging 200 away from the glass body 100, with the support blocks 300 abutting against the second mounting side 23 of the body sheet metal 20, significantly reduces the contact area between the edging 200 and the body sheet metal 20 compared to the prior art method of using one side of the entire edging 200 to abut against the body sheet metal 20. This changes the contact from surface contact to point contact, thereby reducing the impact of the body sheet metal 20 on the glass body 100 embedded in the edging 200 and stabilizing glass surface differences. At the same time, replacing the edging 200 of the prior art with the support blocks 300, the spaced support blocks 300 reduce material usage, achieving lightweighting that meets market requirements.

[0028] To facilitate the design of the edging 200, in a preferred embodiment, the edging 200 includes a rigid base 210 and a flexible tongue 220 connected to one side of the rigid base 210. The rigid base 210 is connected to the glass body 100. It should be noted that the glass body 100 includes a top wall 110, a bottom wall 120, and a side wall 130 between the top wall 110 and the bottom wall 120, wherein the rigid base 210 is connected to the bottom wall 120 of the glass body 100. It should be emphasized that the glass body 100 is described using wired glass as an example in this embodiment, but the glass body 100 is not limited to wired glass; it can also be tempered glass or any other type of glass. The flexible tongue 220 overlaps the first mounting side 22, with the side of the flexible tongue 220 facing away from the first mounting side 22 facing the side wall 130 of the glass body 100. A support block 300 is disposed on the side of the rigid base 210 facing away from the bottom wall 120 of the glass body 100.

[0029] Through the above configuration, the hard seat 210 provides support for the glass body 100, and the soft tongue 220 is located between the side wall 130 of the glass body 100 and the first mounting side 22 of the body sheet metal 20. The soft tongue 220 is used to absorb the installation tolerances between the glass body 100 and the body sheet metal 20, thus avoiding abnormal noise. In specific configuration, to ensure the strength of the hard seat 210, the hard seat 210 includes a core strip 211 and a protective layer 212 covering the surface of the core strip 211. The core strip 211 is preferably made of glass fiber or copper wire, and the protective layer 212 is preferably made of one of TPE, EPDM, or PVC materials, with a Shore hardness between 75 and 85, thereby ensuring that the hard seat 210 has the support force to bear the glass body 100. The soft tongue 220 is preferably made of one of TPE, EPDM, or PVC materials, with a Shore hardness between 55 and 65, which facilitates the soft tongue 220's flexibility to absorb tolerances.

[0030] To ensure structural strength, specifically, the support block 300 and the hard base 210 are integrally molded. In a specific configuration, the support block 300 and the hard base 210 are integrally molded by injection molding. However, this application is not limited to the support block 300 and the hard base 210 being integrally molded; it can also be that the glass edging assembly 10 includes a first adhesive layer 400, which connects the hard base 210 and the support block 300. The first adhesive layer 400 can be double-sided adhesive, liquid, or solid adhesive; this application preferably uses double-sided adhesive. In addition, the support block 300 and the hard base 210 can also be fixed by means of interlocking, snap-fit, or fastener connection.

[0031] To prevent the support block 300 from aging, in a preferred embodiment, the support block 300 is made of one of TPE, EPDM, or PVC materials. Furthermore, to facilitate bonding between the support block 300 and the hard seat 210, in a specific configuration, the material of the support block 300 has a Shore hardness of 60-80. The Shore hardness of the support block 300 can be any value among 65, 72, 75, and 60-80.

[0032] Combination Figure 2 As shown, to facilitate the connection between the hard base 210 and the glass body 100, the edging 200 also includes a second adhesive layer 230, which connects the hard base 210 and the bottom wall 120 of the glass body 100. In specific configurations, the second adhesive layer 230 can be double-sided adhesive, liquid or solid adhesive; in this application, double-sided adhesive is preferred.

[0033] To prevent abnormal noises during window use, in a preferred embodiment, the glass edging assembly 10 further includes an elastic buffer layer 500. The elastic buffer layer 500 is disposed on the side of the support block 300 opposite to the hard seat 210 in the edging 200, and abuts against the second mounting side 23. In a specific configuration, the elastic buffer layer 500 can be a felt layer, an adhesive layer, or a foam layer, and the elastic buffer layer 500 can be attached to the support block 300 by adhesive bonding.

[0034] To enhance the sealing between the glass body 100 and the body sheet metal 20, a pressure relief groove 221 is specifically provided on the outer side of the soft tongue 220 near the hard seat 210. This arrangement helps the edge banding 200 absorb the limiting tolerances between the glass body 100 and the body sheet metal 20, thereby enhancing the sealing effect. Specifically, the number of pressure relief grooves 221 can be one, two, or more. When the number of pressure relief grooves 221 is preferably one, it is located on the upper side of the soft tongue 220 near the hard seat 210. When the number of pressure relief grooves 221 is preferably two, the two grooves are located on the upper and lower sides of the soft tongue 220 near the hard seat 210, respectively. When the number of pressure relief grooves 221 is preferably two or more, the multiple grooves 221 are spaced apart around the outer periphery of the soft tongue 220 near the hard seat 210.

[0035] To improve the wear resistance of the flexible tongue 220, specifically, the flexible tongue 220 has a first mating area 222 overlapping the first mounting side 22, and a first wear-resistant area 240 is provided on the outer layer of the first mating area 222. Specifically, the flexible tongue 220 is made of one of TPE, EPDM, or PVC materials. When the flexible tongue 220 is made of TPE, the first wear-resistant area 240 is made of TPV, and the flexible tongue 220 and the first wear-resistant area 240 are formed by co-extrusion. When the flexible tongue 220 is made of EPDM, the first wear-resistant area 240 is made of polyurethane, and the first wear-resistant area 240 is applied to the outer layer of the first mating area 222 of the flexible tongue 220 by spraying.

[0036] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above 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.

[0037] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
