[0020] Hereinafter, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely with reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, but not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments that a person skilled in the art can obtain without creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present application.

[0021] 1 and 2, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of an automobile window 100 of this embodiment after being attached to an automobile body shell 70. Only a part of the automobile body shell is shown, and the automobile of this embodiment includes an automobile body shell 70. The automobile window 100 includes an outer glass sheet 10, an inner glass sheet 20, an intermediate adhesive layer 30, a light emitter 40, and a reinforcing plate 50. The outer glass sheet 10, the inner glass sheet 20, and the intermediate adhesive layer 30 are laminated in order, and the intermediate adhesive layer 30 fixes the outer glass sheet 10 and the inner glass sheet 20. The light emitter 40 is provided on both opposing sides of the inner glass sheet 20. The reinforcing plate 50 is bonded to the periphery of the outer glass sheet 10 through a first connecting body 60, and the reinforcing plate 50 supports the light emitter 40 and a part of the inner glass sheet 20. An adhesive injection space 80 is formed between the reinforcing plate 50 and the automobile body shell 70, and the adhesive injection space 80 is filled with a second connecting body 90. The automotive window 100 is secured to the automotive body shell 70 through the second connector 90, thereby mounting the automotive window 100 to the automobile. In one embodiment, the first connector 60 and the second connector 90 are, but are not limited to, adhesives after curing.

[0022] Specifically, the area of ​​the outer glass sheet 10 is larger than that of the inner glass sheet 20, that is, the projection of the inner glass sheet 20 onto the outer glass sheet 10 is completely located within the outer glass sheet 10, and the projection of the outer glass sheet 10 onto the inner glass sheet 20 completely covers the inner glass sheet 10. The intermediate adhesive layer 30 is located between the outer glass sheet 10 and the inner glass sheet 20 and is used to bond the outer glass sheet 10 and the inner glass sheet 20. The illuminant 40 is provided to surround the periphery of the inner glass sheet 20, and the side of the inner glass sheet 20, the reinforcing plate 50 and a part of the intermediate adhesive layer 30 surround the illuminant 40, and the illuminant 40 is used to emit light. The light emitted by the illuminant 40 is diffused into the interior of the automobile window 100 through the inner glass sheet 20 and is used to illuminate the interior of the automobile, and at the same time, is used to enhance the visual effect of the automobile window 100. The two reinforcing plates 50 are provided on opposite sides of the inner glass plate 20, respectively, and the reinforcing plates 50 are adhered to the outer glass plate 10 through the first connector 60. The reinforcing plates 50 support the inner glass plate 20, thereby increasing the rigidity of the automobile window 100.

[0023] 2 and 3, in this embodiment, the outer glass sheet 10 is a roughly rectangular plate-like structure. The cross section of the outer glass sheet 10 is rectangular, but is not limited thereto. The outer glass sheet 10 has a first surface 11, a second surface 12, and two first side surfaces 13. The first surface 11 and the second surface 12 are the two surfaces of the outer glass sheet 10 with the largest area. The first surface 11 and the second surface 12 are arranged back to back, and the two first side surfaces 13 are both connected to the first surface 11 and the second surface 12. Specifically, after the automobile window 100 is installed in the automobile, the first surface 11 faces the outside of the automobile and directly contacts the exterior space of the automobile, the second surface 12 faces the inside of the automobile, and the two first side surfaces 13 are two surfaces that face each other in the width direction of the outer glass sheet 10.

[0024] The second surface 12 includes a first attachment region 121 and two first bonding regions 122 located on opposite sides of the first attachment region 121. The two first bonding regions 122 are located in the portions of the second surface 12 that are connected to the two first side surfaces 13. The projection of the inner glass sheet 20 onto the second surface 12 completely overlaps with the first attachment region 121, or is located at least within the first attachment region 121. In the second surface 12 in this embodiment, except for the projection region of the inner glass sheet 20 onto the second surface 12, the remaining region is the two first bonding regions 122. As can be seen, there is one first bonding region 122 on each side of the second surface 12 in the width direction of the outer glass sheet 10 (the width direction of the automobile).

[0025] 2 and 3, the inner glass sheet 20 is a roughly rectangular plate-like structure. The cross section of the inner glass sheet 20 is rectangular, but is not limited thereto. The inner glass sheet 20 has a third surface 21, a fourth surface 22, and two second side surfaces 23 arranged opposite to each other. The third surface 21 and the fourth surface 22 are the two surfaces of the inner glass sheet 20 with the largest area. The third surface 21 and the fourth surface 22 are arranged back to back. The two second side surfaces 23 are connected to the opposite sides of the third surface 21 and connected to the opposite sides of the fourth surface 22. Specifically, after the automobile window 100 is installed in the automobile, the third surface 21 faces the outside of the automobile, and the fourth surface 22 faces the inside of the automobile and directly contacts the interior space of the automobile. The two second side surfaces 23 are two surfaces that face each other in the width direction (width of the automobile) of the inner glass sheet 20. The two second sides 23 are used for mounting the illuminators 40 and directing the light emitted by the illuminators 40 into the inner glass sheet 20, thereby realizing the interior lighting of the automobile and enhancing the visual effect of the automobile window 100.

[0026] In one embodiment, the inner glass sheet 20 is engraved with a pattern. When the light beam emitted by the light emitter 40 passes through the inner glass sheet 20, the pattern of the inner glass sheet 20 is revealed through the light beam, thus enhancing the visual effect of the automotive window 100.

[0027] The fourth surface 22 includes two support regions 24 located on opposite sides of the fourth surface 22, and the two support regions 24 are located in the portions of the fourth surface 22 close to the two second side surfaces 23, respectively, and the projections of the two first bonding regions 122 onto the fourth surface 22 are completely offset from the two support regions 24. Specifically, in the width direction of the inner glass sheet 20 (the width direction of the automobile), there is one support region 24 on each side of the fourth surface 22. The two support regions 24 are each used to be connected to the reinforcing plate 50. The connection is realized by the reinforcing plate 50 directly supporting the support region 24, and thus supporting the inner glass sheet 20. Alternatively, the connection may be realized by adhesion between the reinforcing plate 50 and the support region 24, and is not limited in this application.

[0028] 2 and 3, the intermediate adhesive layer 30 is a roughly rectangular sheet-like structure. The cross section of the intermediate adhesive layer 30 is rectangular, but is not limited thereto. The intermediate adhesive layer 30 is used to bond the outer glass sheet 10 and the inner glass sheet 20. The material of the intermediate adhesive layer 30 is polyvinyl butyral (PVB), ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), but is not limited thereto. The intermediate adhesive layer 30 has a fifth surface 31, a sixth surface 32, and two third sides 33. The fifth surface 31 and the sixth surface 32 are the two surfaces with the largest areas of the intermediate adhesive layer 30. Specifically, after the automotive window 100 is installed in the automobile, the fifth surface 31 faces the exterior of the automobile and is bonded to the outer glass sheet 10, and the sixth surface 32 faces the interior of the automobile and is bonded to the inner glass sheet 20. The two third side surfaces 33 are two surfaces that face each other in the width direction of the intermediate adhesive layer 30 (the width of the automobile).

[0029] The sixth surface 32 includes a second mounting region 321 and second bonding regions 34 located on both sides opposite to the second mounting region 321, and the orthogonal projection of the second mounting region 321 onto the outer glass sheet 10 completely overlaps with the first mounting region 121, and the second bonding region 34 is used to bond the light emitter 40 and the reinforcing plate 50. The two second bonding regions 34 are located near the two third side surfaces 33 on the sixth surface 32, respectively. Specifically, in the width direction of the intermediate adhesive layer 30, there is one second bonding region 34 on each side of the sixth surface 32. The projection of the two first bonding regions 122 of the outer glass sheet 10 onto the sixth surface 32 overlaps with the two second bonding regions 34. The projection of the two support regions 24 of the inner glass sheet 20 onto the sixth surface 32 is completely offset from the two second bonding regions 34. It should be noted that, on the sixth surface 32, except for the areas of the two second bonding areas 34, the remaining area is used for bonding to the inner glass plate 20.

[0030] The intermediate adhesive layer 30 bonds the outer glass sheet 10 and the inner glass sheet 20. The second surface 12 of the outer glass sheet 10 and the third surface 21 of the inner glass sheet 20 are opposed to each other, and the intermediate adhesive layer 30 is disposed between the outer glass sheet 10 and the inner glass sheet 20. Specifically, the fifth surface 31 of the intermediate adhesive layer 30 is bonded to the second surface 12 of the outer glass sheet 10, and the sixth surface 32 of the intermediate adhesive layer 30 is bonded to the third surface 21 of the inner glass sheet 20. At the same time, it ensures that each first side 13 on both sides of the outer glass sheet 10 corresponds to each third side 33 on both sides of the intermediate adhesive layer 30, that is, it ensures that one first side 13 and one third side 33 on the same side are in the same plane.

[0031] The projections of the two first bonding regions 122 of the outer glass sheet 10 onto the sixth surface 32 completely overlap the two second bonding regions 34 of the intermediate adhesive layer 30. The projections of the two support regions 24 of the inner glass sheet 20 onto the sixth surface 32 are offset from the two second bonding regions 34. Note that the fifth surface 31 of the intermediate adhesive layer 30 and the second surface 12 of the outer glass sheet 10 are entirely bonded together, that is, the fifth surface 31 and the second surface 12 completely overlap after bonding. On the sixth surface 32 of the intermediate adhesive layer 30, the entire remaining area is bonded to the third surface 21 of the inner glass sheet 20, except for the areas of the two second bonding regions 34.

[0032] Each light emitter 40 is a light emitting diode (LED), but is not limited thereto. The light emitter 40 is used to emit light, and the light from the light emitter 40 enters the inner glass sheet 20 and is diffused in the window glass 100, thereby realizing the illumination of the interior of the automobile and improving the visual effect of the automobile window 100. The light emitter 40 has a first fixing surface 41, a light emitting surface 42, a second fixing surface 43, and a backlight surface 44. The first fixing surface 41 and the second fixing surface 43 are arranged back to back, and the light emitting surface 42 and the backlight surface 44 are arranged back to back. The first fixing surface 41 is fixedly connected to the second bonding area 34 of the intermediate adhesive layer 30, and the first fixing surface 41 is located close to the second side surface 23. The light emitting surface 42 is bonded to the second side surface 23. The area of ​​the light-emitting surface 42 and the area of ​​the second side surface 23 are equal, that is, the projection of the light-emitting surface 42 onto the second side surface 23 completely overlaps with the second side surface 23. After the light-emitting body 40 is installed on the automobile window 100, the light-emitting surface 42 is fixedly connected to the second side surface 23, which is used to fix the position of the light-emitting body 40 on the automobile window 100. After the light-emitting body 40 is mounted on the inner glass plate 20, the second fixing surface 43 and the fourth surface 22 are in the same plane, and the second fixing surface 43 is used to be fixedly connected to the reinforcing plate 50.

[0033] In one embodiment, among the first fixing surface 41, the light emitting surface 42, the second fixing surface 43, and the backlight surface 44 of each light emitter 40, at least the first fixing surface 41 is fixedly connected to the second bonding area 34 of the intermediate adhesive layer 30, and the light emitting surface 42 is not fixed to the second side surface 23, the second fixing surface 43 is not fixed to the reinforcing plate 50, and the backlight surface 44 is not fixed to the reinforcing plate 50. That is, the position of the light emitter 40 on the automobile window 100 can be fixed only by the fixed connection between the first fixing surface 41 and the second bonding area 34 of the intermediate adhesive layer 30. This simplifies the process flow and improves the assembly efficiency.

[0034] In one embodiment, fixing grooves (not shown) are provided on both sides of the inner glass plate 20. The light emitter 40 can be directly fixed to the inner glass plate 20 through the fixing grooves. Note that in the present application, the method of fixing the light emitter 40 to the inner glass plate 20 is not limited, and any method can be used as long as the light emitter 40 can be fixed to the inner glass plate 20.

[0035] Referring to Figures 4 to 6, in some embodiments, the number of light-emitting bodies 40 is one or more, and the shape of the light-emitting body 40 is elongated or circular. In this application, the number and shape of the light-emitting bodies 40 are not limited, and the position at which the light-emitting body 40 is attached to the window glass 100 is also not limited, as long as the light emitted by the light-emitting body 40 can enter the window glass 100 and realize the lighting and aesthetic functions of the window glass 100.

[0036] 2 and 3, each reinforcing plate 50 is made of a metal material or a plastic material. The reinforcing plate 50 includes a first segment 51, a second segment 52, and a third segment 53. The cross section (cross section along the width direction of the automobile) of each reinforcing plate 50 is an approximately Z-shaped plate structure. The first segment 51 and the second segment 52 are connected at an angle, and the second segment 52 and the third segment 53 are connected at an angle. The first segment 51 and the third segment 53 are approximately parallel, and both of the extending directions are opposite to the second segment 52. The second segment 52 and the third segment 53 form a receiving area (not shown) on one side opposite to the outer glass sheet 10 and the inner glass sheet 20, and the receiving area is used for connecting with the automobile body shell. The first segment 51 includes a third bonding area 54, and the second segment 52 has a seventh surface 55. The third segment 53 includes a fourth bonding region 56. The seventh surface 55 connects the third bonding region 54 and the fourth bonding region 56.

[0037] The reinforcing plate 50 and the outer glass plate 10 are bonded and fixed through the first connector 60, the reinforcing plate 50 supports a part of the inner glass plate 20, and the seventh surface 55 is provided corresponding to the backlight surface 44 of the light emitter 40. Specifically, the seventh surface 55 is parallel to the backlight surface 44, and the two are not in direct contact, that is, there is a gap between the seventh surface 55 and the backlight surface 44. In one embodiment, the seventh surface 55 is in direct contact with the backlight surface 44, that is, there is no gap between the seventh surface 55 and the backlight surface 44. As can be seen, the second bonding area 34 of the intermediate adhesive layer 30, the second side surface 23 of the inner glass plate, the first segment 51 of the reinforcing plate 50, and the second segment 52 of the reinforcing plate 50 all surround the light emitter 40.

[0038] The third bonding area 54 contacts the support area 24. The third bonding area 54 may support the edge of the inner glass sheet 20, or may be bonded to the inner glass sheet 20 through an adhesive to bond and fix the reinforcing plate 50 to the inner glass sheet 20. Note that the projection of the third bonding area 54 onto the support area 24 is not smaller than the sum of the area of ​​the support area 24 and the area of ​​the second fixing surface 43 so that there is sufficient space for arranging the luminous body 40, that is, the luminous body 40 is provided in the third bonding area 54 of the reinforcing plate 50 except for the area of ​​the third bonding area 54 bonded to the support area 24. The third segment 53 of the reinforcing plate 50 is fixedly connected to the outer glass sheet 10, and the reinforcing plate 50 supports the inner glass sheet 20 through the first segment 51. This increases the rigidity of the inner glass sheet 20 after the window glass 100 is attached to the automobile body shell, preventing damage to the inner glass sheet 20 due to insufficient rigidity and lack of a supporting structure, and ultimately improving the lifespan of the automobile window 100.

[0039] The fourth bonding area 56 and the second bonding area 34 are bonded through the first connecting body 60, and the first connecting body 60 is a cured adhesive. That is, the fourth bonding area 56 and the second bonding area 34 are not in direct contact with each other, and the first connecting body 60 is filled between the fourth bonding area 56 and the second bonding area 34 so as to bond and fix the reinforcing plate 50 and the outer glass plate 10. Note that the area of ​​the second bonding area 34 is not less than the sum of the area of ​​the fourth bonding area 56 and the area of ​​the first fixing surface 41, that is, the projection of the second bonding area 34 onto the fourth bonding area 56 covers the fourth bonding area 56 and the first fixing surface 41.

[0040] In the automotive window and automobile provided in the present application, the outer glass sheet 10 and the inner glass sheet 20 are connected through an intermediate adhesive layer, and then the reinforcing plate 50 is arranged, so that the first segment 51 of the reinforcing plate 50 supports the inner glass sheet 20, and the fourth bonding area 56 of the third segment 53 of the reinforcing plate 50 is bonded to the outer glass sheet 10 through a connector, and then adhesive is injected through the space between the receiving area of ​​the reinforcing plate 50 and the mounting area of ​​the automobile body shell, i.e., the adhesive injection space, so that the automotive window 100 is fixed to the automobile body shell. This can increase the overall rigidity of the automotive window 100 and solve the problem of insufficient rigidity of the two-pane structure automotive window.

[0041] 7, in one embodiment, each first bonding area 122 is provided with one first adhesive groove 14, and the cross section of each first adhesive groove 14 along the width direction of the second surface 12 (i.e., the width direction of the automobile) is triangular. The first adhesive groove 14 is used to fill the first connecting body 60 when the reinforcing plate 50 is bonded and fixed to the outer glass plate 10, thereby enhancing the bonding effect and improving the bonding strength. In one embodiment, the cross section of each first adhesive groove 14 may have another shape, and the position and shape of the first adhesive groove 14 are not limited in the present application, as long as they can satisfy the fixing relationship between the reinforcing plate 50 and the outer glass plate 10.

[0042] Each second bonding area 34 is provided with one second adhesive groove 35, each second adhesive groove 35 penetrates the fifth surface 31 and the sixth surface 32 of the intermediate adhesive layer 30, and the cross section of each second adhesive groove 35 along the width direction of the intermediate adhesive layer 30 (i.e., the width direction of the automobile) is trapezoidal, but not limited thereto. Note that the position of each second adhesive tank 35 corresponds to the position of each first adhesive tank 14, which is used to fill the first connecting body 60 when bonding and fixing the reinforcing plate 50 and the outer glass plate 10, thereby enhancing the bonding effect and improving the bonding strength.

[0043] In addition, the positions of the second adhesive grooves 35 correspond to the positions of the first adhesive grooves 14, respectively, and the intermediate adhesive layer 30 is bonded to the outer glass plate 10, and the second adhesive grooves 35 communicate with the first adhesive grooves 14, respectively, to form a third adhesive groove (not shown). Specifically, the cross section of each of the first adhesive grooves 14 is triangular, and the cross section of each of the second adhesive grooves 35 is trapezoidal. The base of the triangular cross section of the first adhesive groove 14 is overlapped with the upper base of the trapezoidal cross section of the second adhesive groove 35, thereby communicating the first adhesive groove 14 and the second adhesive groove 35 to form a third adhesive groove (not shown). The cross section (cross section along the width direction of the automobile) of the third adhesive groove (not shown) is triangular, and the third adhesive groove (not shown) is used to fill the first connecting body 60. The reinforcing plate 50 and the outer glass plate 10 are bonded and fixed by the first connecting body 60. This enhances the adhesive effect and improves the adhesive strength.

[0044] In one embodiment, the method of forming the third adhesive groove (not shown) is to first bond the intermediate adhesive layer 30 and the outer glass plate 10, and then directly drill a groove at the position of each second bonding area 34 to form the third adhesive groove (not shown), but is not limited thereto.

[0045] 8, in one embodiment, the first segment 51 of each reinforcing plate 50 is further provided with a heat dissipation hole 57, the heat dissipation hole 57 penetrates the third bonding area 54 of the first segment 51 and the surface of the first segment 51 facing the third bonding area 54, and the position of the heat dissipation hole 57 corresponds to the second fixing surface 43 of the light emitting body 40. The heat dissipation hole 57 is used to quickly discharge heat released during the operation of the light emitting body 40, reduce the failure rate, and improve safety. In the present application, the number and shape of the heat dissipation hole 57 are not limited as long as it can realize the heat dissipation function of the light emitting body 40.

[0046] 9 , in one embodiment, the first segment 51 of each reinforcing plate 50 is further provided with a replacement switch 58, and the position of the replacement switch 58 corresponds to the second fixing surface 43 of the light emitter 40. The replacement switch 58 includes a door plate 581 and an opening 582. The door plate 581 can be opened and closed relative to the opening 582, so that the light emitter 40 can be installed and removed through the opening 582. When the light emitter 40 is broken, the light emitter 40 can be removed and replaced through the replacement switch 58. In another embodiment, the heat dissipation hole 57 may be provided in the replacement switch 58.

[0047] 10, in one embodiment, the thickness of the illuminator 40 is greater than the thickness of the inner glass plate 20, i.e., when viewed from a cross section in the width direction of the automobile, the light-emitting surface 42 is longer than the second side surface 23, and the portion of the light-emitting surface 42 that is longer than the second side surface 23 extends toward the inside of the automobile. In this case, the first segment 51 of the reinforcing plate 50 is substantially Z-shaped, and the first segment 51 includes a first sub-segment 511, a second sub-segment 512, and a third sub-segment 513. The first sub-segment 511 is connected to the second sub-segment 512 at an angle, the second sub-segment 512 is connected to the third sub-segment 513 at an angle, and the first sub-segment 511 and the third sub-segment 513 are substantially parallel to the third segment 53, and the second sub-segment 512 is substantially parallel to the second segment 52. The first subsegment 511, the second subsegment 512, the third subsegment 513 and the second segment 52 form a recess, and an accommodation space is formed between the recess, the outer glass plate 10 and the inner glass plate 20, and the accommodation space is used to accommodate the light-emitting body 40.

[0048] Specifically, the first sub-segment 511 extends along the support area 24 of the inner glass sheet 20 and is connected to the support area 24 of the inner glass sheet 20. One end of the second sub-segment 512 is connected to the first sub-segment 511 at an angle, and the other end of the second sub-segment 512 extends along the second fixing surface 43 of the light emitter 40. One end of the third sub-segment 513 is connected to the second sub-segment 512 at an angle, and the other end of the third sub-segment 513 extends along the second fixing surface 43 of the light emitter 40 and is connected to the second segment 52. The second segment 52 extends along the backlight surface 44 of the light emitter 40 and is connected to the third segment at an angle. As can be seen, the second side 23 of the inner glass plate 20, the second sub-segment 512, the third sub-segment 513, the second segment 52 of the reinforcing plate 50, and some of the intermediate adhesive layer together surround the light emitter 40 to accommodate the light emitter within the accommodation space, thereby mounting light emitters 40 of different sizes according to the outer shape of the light emitter 40.

[0049] In one embodiment, the number of reinforcing plates 50 may be four or six, and the number of reinforcing plates 50 is not limited in this application, and in the same case, the more the number of reinforcing plates 50, the stronger the reinforcing effect.

[0050] The present application further provides an automobile comprising the above-mentioned automobile window 100. The automobile further comprises an automobile body shell 70. The automobile body shell 70 has a window, and the opposite sides of the window of the automobile body shell 70 are supporting edges, the supporting edges include an attachment area, the automobile window 100 is attached to the window, and the reinforcing plate 50 is fixed to the automobile body shell 70. Specifically, the method of connecting the receiving area of ​​each reinforcing plate 50 to the automobile body shell 70 is as follows, but is not limited to the following: Form an adhesive injection space 80 between the receiving area and the attachment area, inject an adhesive into the adhesive injection space 80 or perform a thermoplastic polyurethane (PU) injection processing operation, and place the second connecting body 90 in the adhesive injection space 80, and finally fix the automobile window 100 to the automobile body shell 70 through the second connecting body 90.
