Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of vehicle parts, specifically to window assemblies and vehicles.

Background Art

[0002] With the development and popularization of autonomous driving technology, more and more in-vehicle sensors are being installed in automobiles. Examples of common in-vehicle sensors include visible light cameras, infrared cameras, thermal detection cameras, AR cameras, millimeter wave radars, lidars, etc. These in-vehicle sensors are usually arranged inside the vehicle and need to detect the external environment through the windshield to collect data. Therefore, fine processing defects such as optical deformation of the windshield and non-uniform stress distribution, as well as defects of the material itself such as weakening of optical signals due to reflection and absorption of light, reduce the efficiency of in-vehicle sensors to varying degrees and may even cause malfunctions.

Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this application is that the conventional windshield is difficult to meet the increasing requirements for reducing fine processing defects and material defects of in-vehicle sensors installed in autonomous vehicles. Therefore, this application provides a window assembly and a vehicle.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this application to solve the technical problem is as follows. Provided is a window assembly.

The detection device includes a light transmission plate and at least one sensor, the sensor being used for emitting and / or receiving a detection light beam passing through the light transmission plate, the detection device being provided in the through opening, an end of the detection device away from the light transmission plate being rotatably connected to the vehicle, the detection device having a first position and a second position, and the detection device being rotatable between the first position and the second position. When the detection device is in the first position, the light transmission plate is located inside the vehicle. When the detection device is in the second position, the light transmission plate is located outside the vehicle, and the sensor in the detection device emits and / or receives a detection light beam passing through the light transmission plate to realize a detection function.

[0005] The window assembly in the embodiment of the present application includes a window glass and a detection device. The detection device can reach the first position or and the second position by rotating back and forth through the through opening of the window glass. When the detection device is in the first position, the light transmission plate of the detection device is located inside the vehicle. In this case, the sensor in the detection device is in an off state and the sensor does not operate.

[0029] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the window assembly 1 described in the embodiment of the present application is attached to the vehicle 2. The window assembly 1 includes a window glass 100 and a detection device 200. The window glass 100 has a first surface 110 and a second surface 120 provided facing away from each other. The first surface 110 faces the inside of the vehicle 2, and the second surface 120 faces the outside of the vehicle 2. The window glass 100 further has a through opening 130 that communicates the first surface 110 and the second surface 120. The detection device 200 includes a light transmission plate 211 and at least one sensor 212. The sensor 212 is used to emit and / or receive a detection light beam that passes through the light transmission plate 211. The detection device 200 is provided in the through opening 130. The end of the detection device 200 away from the light transmission plate 211 is rotatably connected to the vehicle 2. The detection device 200 has a first position and a second position, and the detection device 200 is rotatable between the first position and the second position. When the detection device 200 is in the first position, the light transmission plate 211 is located inside the vehicle 2. When the detection device 200 is in the second position, the light transmission plate 211 is located outside the vehicle 2, and the sensor 212 in the detection device 200 emits and / or receives a detection light beam that passes through the light transmission plate 211 to realize a detection function.

[0030] The window assembly 1 in the embodiment of the present application includes a window glass 100 and a detection device 200. The detection device 200 rotates to reciprocally pass through the through opening 130 of the window glass 100 to reach the first position orIt can reach the second position. When the detection device 200 is in the first position, the light transmission plate 211 of the detection device 200 is located inside the vehicle 2. In this case, the sensor 212 in the detection device 200 is in an off state, and the sensor 212 does not operate. When the detection device 200 is in the second position, the light transmission plate 211 of the detection device 200 is located outside the vehicle 2. In this case, the sensor 212 in the detection device 200 is in an on state, and the sensor 212 operates to detect the external environment of the vehicle 2.

[0031] In the window assembly 1 according to the present application, a detectable device 200 that can be opened and closed is provided on the window glass 100 having a through opening 130. This detection device 200 includes an independent light transmission plate 211, that is, the light transmission plate 211 and the window glass 100 are independent of each other, and the light transmission plate 211 is not affected by the processing defects and body defects of the window glass 100. Thereby, a higher cost and a more complicated processing process are not required for the matching between the window glass 100 and the more demanding sensor 212. Also, in the sensor 212 in the normal technology, since the detection light beam passes through the window glass 100 at a high angle of 50° to 70°, there is a problem of high reflectance. In the present application, by keeping the light transmission plate 211 and the sensor 212 always perpendicular or nearly perpendicular, the detection light beam of the sensor 212 passes through the light transmission plate 211 at a small incident angle (≤30°) or an incident angle close to 0°, whereby the the detection light beam emitted and / or received by reflectance of the light transmission plate 211 with respect to the sensor 212 can be reduced, and the transmittance of the detection light beam passing through the light transmission plate 211 can be improved. When the detection device 200 detects the external environment of the vehicle 2, the detection light beam of the sensor 212 directly passes through the light transmission plate 211 without passing through the window glass 100 to detect the external environment. Thereby, the interference of the detection light beam by the window glass 100 is avoided, and the detection accuracy and working efficiency of the detection device 200 are improved.

[0032] As can be understood, the window assembly 1 is attached to the vehicle 2, the first surface 110 of the window glass 100 faces the interior of the vehicle 2, and the second surface 120 faces the exterior of the vehicle 2. The detection device 200 has a first position and a second position, and the detection device 200 is rotatable between the first position and the second position. Since the first position is located inside the vehicle 2 and close to the first surface 110, the light transmission plate 211 can be located inside the vehicle 2. Since the second position is located outside the vehicle 2 and close to the second surface 120, the light transmission plate 211 can be located outside the vehicle 2. Furthermore, the sensor 212 in the detection device 200 can emit and / or receive the detection light beam passing through the light transmission plate 211 to / from the outside.

[0033] Optionally, the window glass 100 is laminated glass. The laminated glass includes an outer glass plate, an intermediate adhesive layer, and an inner glass plate laminated in sequence.

Of course, the intermediate adhesive layer may have a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure. Examples of the multi-layer structure include a two-layer structure, a three-layer structure, a four-layer structure, a five-layer structure, and the like. The intermediate adhesive layer can have other functions. For example, by providing at least one colored zone and using this as a shadow zone, the interference of sunlight to the human eye can be reduced. Or, by adding an infrared absorber, a solar radiation shielding function or a heat insulation function can be provided. Or, by adding an ultraviolet absorber, an ultraviolet blocking function can be provided. Or, by having one layer of the multi-layer intermediate adhesive layer have a higher plasticizer content, a sound insulation function can be provided.

[0035] The laminated glass further includes a heat insulation coating. Since the laminated glass is provided with a through opening 130, the heat insulation coating does not interfere with the detection light beam from the sensor 212. The heat insulation coating may be provided on the inner surface of the outer glass plate and / or the outer surface of the inner glass plate. The heat insulation coating includes at least one metal layer and at least two dielectric layers, and each metal layer is provided between two adjacent dielectric layers. Specifically, the heat insulation coating can be used to block the heat from the outside from entering the interior of the vehicle by reflecting the infrared rays from the outside of the vehicle 2, so as to well control the temperature inside the vehicle 2. As can be understood, in other possible embodiments, the heat insulation coating may be provided at other positions of the laminated glass, and the present application does not limit this. In some embodiments, the laminated glass further includes a first bus bar and a second bus bar electrically connected to the heat insulation coating, and the heat insulation coating is at least 600 W / m between the first bus bar and the second bus bar 2has a heating power density. The first bus bar and the second bus bar are each electrically connected to the heat insulation coating. When the first bus bar and the second bus bar are energized, the heat insulation coating generates heat and can reach a heating power density of at least 600 W / m 2 Thereby, the laminated glass is heated to perform defrosting, defogging, deicing, snow removal, etc., and ensure a clear field of view for the driver in bad weather.

[0036] In some embodiments, the light transmission plate 211 has a transmittance of 85% or more in the wavelength range from 780 nm to 1650 nm. Specifically, the light transmission plate 211 may have transmittances of 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% in the wavelength range from 780 nm to 1650 nm, but is not limited thereto. Optionally, when the sensor 212 is a lidar, in order to ensure a good detection effect of the lidar, the transmittance of the light transmission plate 211 in the wavelength range from 780 nm to 1650 nm needs to be 85% or more.

[0037] In some embodiments, the light transmission plate 211 has a visible light transmittance of 80% or more in the wavelength range from 380 nm to 780 nm. Specifically, the light transmission plate 211 may have visible light transmittances of 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% in the wavelength range from 380 nm to 780 nm, but is not limited thereto. Optionally, when the sensor 212 is a visible light camera, in order to ensure a good detection effect of the visible light camera, the visible light transmittance of the light transmission plate 211 in the wavelength range from 380 nm to 780 nm needs to be 80% or more.

[0038] In some embodiments, the light transmission plate 211 has a visibility (diopter) of 75 mdpt or less. Specifically, the visibility of the light transmission plate 211 may be, but is not limited to, 75 mdpt, 74 mdpt, 73 mdpt, 72 mdpt, 71 mdpt, 70 mdpt, 69 mdpt, 68 mdpt, 67 mdpt, 66 mdpt, 65 mdpt, 60 mdpt, 55 mdpt, 50 mdpt, etc. Optionally, when the sensor 212 is an AR camera, in order to ensure a good detection effect of the AR camera, the visibility of the light transmission plate 211 needs to be 70 mdpt or less.

[0039] In some embodiments, the detection device 200 includes a detection module 210 and a driving mechanism 220. The detection module 210 includes a light transmission plate 211 and at least one sensor 212. An end of the detection module 210 away from the light transmission plate 211 is rotatably connected to the vehicle 2. One end of the driving mechanism 220 is rotatably connected to the detection module 210, and the other end of the driving mechanism 220 is rotatably and slidably connected to the vehicle 2. The driving mechanism 220 is used to drive the position switching of the detection module 210 between a first position and a second position. Optionally, the detection module 210 includes a light transmission plate 211 and at least one sensor 212. An end of the detection module 210 away from the light transmission plate 211 is rotatably connected to the vehicle 2. Thereby, the light transmission plate 211 can pass through the through opening 130 back and forth by rotating and be located inside the first surface 110 or outside the second surface 120. Therefore, the sensor 212 can operate without being hidden or can detect the outside of the vehicle. One end of the driving mechanism 220 is rotatably connected to the detection module 210, and the other end of the driving mechanism 220 is rotatably and slidably connected to the vehicle 2. The driving mechanism 220 is used to drive the position switching of the detection module 210 between a first position and a second position. One end of the driving mechanism 220 is rotatably connected to the detection module 210, and the other end is rotatably and slidably connected to the vehicle 2. By controlling the movement of the end of the driving mechanism 220 connected to the vehicle 2, the position of the detection module 210 can be controlled, so that the detection module 210 can be controlled to be located at the first position or the second position, and thus the opening and closing of the window assembly 1 can be completed.

[0040] In some embodiments, the drive mechanism 220 includes a track member 222 and a support member 221. The track member 222 is attached to the vehicle 2 and has a first end 222a and a second end 222b provided back to back with each other. The first end 222a is provided farther from the detection module 210 than the second end 222b. One end of the support member 221 is rotatably connected to the detection module 210, and the other end of the support member 221 is rotatably connected to the track member 222 and is slidable between the first end 222a and the second end 222b. When the support member 221 is close to the first end 222a, the detection module 210 is in the first position, and when the support member 221 is close to the second end 222b, the detection module 210 is in the second position. Optionally, the drive mechanism 220 of the present application drives the detection module 210 to change its position between the first position and the second position by driving the movement of the support member 221 connected to the track member 222. Specifically, the support member 221 is rotatably connected to one end of the track member 222 and is slidable between the first end 222a and the second end 222b of the track member 222. Since the sliding state of the support member 221 can be converted, by rotatably connecting the support member 221 to one end of the detection module 210, the rotation of the detection module 210 can be driven, whereby the detection module 210 can be positioned at the first position or the second position. The drive mechanism 220 drives the rotation of the detection module 210 through linear motion. This facilitates the controllability of the entire detection module 210.

[0041] In some embodiments, when the detection module 210 is switched from the first position to the second position, the support member 221 slides from the first end 222a towards the second end 222b, and the end of the support member 221 away from the track member 222 propels the detection module 210 to rotate in a direction away from the vehicle window glass 100, whereby the light transmission plate 211 comes to be located outside the second surface 120 of the vehicle window glass 100. When the detection module 210 is switched from the second position to the first position, the support member 221 slides from the second end 222b towards the first end 222a, and the end of the support member 221 away from the track member 222 propels the detection module 210 to rotate in a direction closer to the vehicle window glass 100. drive Thereby, the light transmission plate 211 comes to be located inside the first surface 110 of the vehicle window glass 100.

[0042] Optionally, the support member 221 is rod-shaped.

[0043] Optionally, the two ends of the support member 221 are rotatably connected to the detection module 210 and the track member 222 respectively. The end of the support member 221 connected to the track member 222 is slidably and rotatably connected to the track member 222. When the detection module 210 is switched from the first position to the second position by rotation, the end of the support member 221 connected to the track member 222 slides from the first end 222a of the track member 222 towards the second end 222b. In this process, the detection module 210 rotates in a direction away from the vehicle window glass 100 and, by passing through the through-opening 130, the light transmission plate 211 is moved outside the second surface 120. When the detection module 210 is switched from the second position to the first position by rotation, the end of the support member 221 connected to the track member 222 slides from the second end 222b of the track member 222 towards the first end 222a. In this process, the detection module 210 rotates in a direction closer to the vehicle window glass 100 and, by passing through the through-opening 130, the light transmission plate 211 is moved inside the first surface 110.

[0044] In some embodiments, the drive mechanism 220 further includes a slide block 223, the slide block 223 is connected to the track member 222, and is slidable between the first end 222a and the second end 222b. The support member 221 is rotatably connected to the slide block 223, and rotatably connected to the track member 222 via the slide block 223, is slidable between the first end 222a and the second end 222b. Optionally, the slide block 223 is connected to the track member 222 and is slidable between the first end 222a and the second end 222b. The end of the support member 221 close to the track member 222 is rotatably connected to the slide block 223. In other words, the end of the support member 221 close to the track member 222 is connected to the track member 222 via the slide block 223. The connection between the support member 221 and the slide block 223 is advantageous for controlling the movement of the support member 221 by controlling the movement of the slide block 223, and further for controlling the movement of the detection module 210.

[0045] In some embodiments, the drive mechanism 220 further includes a drive motor 224. The drive motor 224 is connected to the slide block 223 and drives the slide block 223 to slide between the first end 222a and the second end 222b. Optionally, the drive motor 224 is used to provide kinetic energy to the slide block 223. Since the drive motor 224 is connected to the slide block 223, by applying a driving force to the slide block 223, the force is transmitted to the support 221 through the slide block 223, and thus the force is applied to the detection module 210, whereby the position of the detection module 210 is switched to the first position or the second position.

[0046] In some embodiments, the drive mechanism 220 further includes a lead screw, which is provided on the power output shaft of the drive motor 224. The slide block 223 is externally fitted on the lead screw. The extending direction of the lead screw is parallel to the extending direction of the track member 222. At least a part of the slide block 223 is engaged within the track member 222. The lead screw is driven by the power output shaft of the drive motor 224 to rotate. A thread is provided on the outer wall of the lead screw, and a matching thread is provided at the portion of the slide block 223 in contact with the lead screw. When the lead screw rotates, since the slide block 223 is positionally restricted by the track member 222, the rotation of the lead screw can move the slide block 223 on the lead screw. Therefore, the slide block 223 slides along the extending direction of the track member 222. In other words, the slide block 223 moves between the first end 222a and the second end 222b of the track member 222.

[0047] In some embodiments, there is at least one set of the drive mechanism 220.

[0048] In some embodiments, the drive mechanism 220 includes at least two support members 221.

[0049] In some embodiments, the detection module 210 further includes a cover plate 230 and a bottom plate 240. The cover plate 230 is connected to the light transmission plate 211. One end of the bottom plate 240 is connected to the end of the light transmission plate 211 that is away from the cover plate 230, and the other end of the bottom plate 240 is connected to the end of the cover plate 230 that is away from the light transmission plate 211. The cover plate 230, the light transmission plate 211, and the bottom plate 240 together form an accommodation space, and the sensor 212 is accommodated in the accommodation space. The sensor 212 has a detection end 212a facing the light transmission plate 211. The bottom plate 240 includes a first bottom plate 241 and a second bottom plate 242 that are connected in a bent shape. The end of the first bottom plate 241 away from the second bottom plate 242 is connected to the light transmission plate 211, and the end of the second bottom plate 242 away from the first bottom plate 241 is connected to the cover plate 230. The end of the second bottom plate 242 away from the first bottom plate 241 is rotatably connected to the vehicle 2, and one end of the second bottom plate 242 close to the first bottom plate 241 is rotatably connected to one end of the support member 221 away from the track member 222. Optionally, the cover plate 230, the light transmission plate 211, and the bottom plate 240 together form an accommodation space, and the sensor 212 is accommodated in the accommodation space. The accommodation space is used to support and protect the sensor 212. In other words, the sensor 212 is fixed to the cover plate 230 and / or the bottom plate 240, and the detection end 212a of the sensor 212 faces the light transmission plate 211. The sensor 212 is used to detect the external environment and detect accurate data such as position and distance.

[0050] Optionally, there are at least two sensors 212.

[0051] Optionally, the sensor 212 is at least one of a visible light camera, an infrared camera, a thermal detection camera, an AR camera, a millimeter wave radar, and a lidar.

[0052] In some embodiments, when the detection module 210 is in the first position, the end of the light transmission plate 211 close to the cover plate 230 abuts against the vehicle window glass 100. When the detection module 210 is in the second position, the end of the light transmission plate 211 far from the cover plate 230 abuts against the vehicle window glass 100. Specifically, after the window assembly 1 is installed in the vehicle 2, when the detection module 210 is in the first position, the end of the light transmission plate 211 close to the cover plate 230 abuts against the vehicle window glass 100, thereby sealing the interior environment of the vehicle and playing a role in waterproofing, windproofing, and noise reduction. When the detection module 210 is in the second position, the end of the light transmission plate 211 far from the cover plate 230 abuts against the vehicle window glass 100, thereby sealing the interior environment of the vehicle. When the vehicle 2 moves, rain and wind are prevented from entering the interior of the vehicle 2 through the gap between the end of the light transmission plate 211 away from the cover plate 230 and the vehicle window glass 100.

[0053] In some embodiments, when the detection module 210 is switched from the first position to the second position, one end of the support member 221 connected to the track member 222 slides from the first end 222a to the second end 222b, and the end of the support member 221 away from the track member 222 propels the second bottom plate 242 to rotate in a direction close to the vehicle window glass 100, whereby the light transmission plate 211 comes to be located outside the second surface 120 of the vehicle window glass 100. When the detection module 210 is switched from the second position to the first position, one end of the support member 221 connected to the track member 222 slides from the second end 222b to the first end 222a, and the end of the support member 221 away from the track member 222 moves to rotate the second bottom plate 242 in a direction away from the vehicle window glass 100, whereby the light transmission plate 211 comes to be located inside the first surface 110 of the vehicle window glass 100.

[0054] Optionally, two ends of the support member 221 are rotatably connected to the bottom plate 240 and the track member 222, respectively. The end of the support member 221 connected to the track member 222 is slidably and rotatably connected to the track member 222. When the detection module 210 is switched from the first position to the second position by rotation, the end of the support member 221 connected to the track member 222 slides from the first end 222a of the track member 222 towards the second end 222b. In this process, due to the interlocking with the support member 221, the end of the support member 221 connected to the bottom plate 240 moves in the direction of the vehicle window glass 100 proximate to In this direction, since the detection module 210 is rotatably connected to the vehicle 2, the detection module 210 rotates in the direction away from the vehicle window glass 100, passes through the through opening 130, and reaches the second position. When the detection module 210 is switched from the second position to the first position by rotation, the end of the support member 221 connected to the track member 222 slides from the second end 222b of the track member 222 towards the first end 222a. In this process, due to the interlocking with the support member 221, the end of the support member 221 connected to the bottom plate 240 moves in the direction of the vehicle window glass 100 away from In this direction, since the detection module 210 is rotatably connected to the vehicle 2, the detection module 210 rotates in the direction close to the vehicle window glass 100, passes through the through opening 130, and reaches the first position. By installing the bottom plate 240, the support member 221 can move the detection module 210 through the connection between the support member 221 and the bottom plate 240, and thus control the position of the sensor 212. Therefore, the problem that the position becomes unstable due to directly moving the sensor 212 and / or the light transmission plate 211 can be avoided.

[0055] In some embodiments, when the detection device 200 is in the second position, the angle α between the vehicle window glass 100 and the light transmission plate 211 is 60° to 150°. Optionally, the angle α between the vehicle window glass 100 and the light transmission plate 211 may be 60°, 65°, 70°, 75°, 80°, 85°, 90°, 95°, 100°, 105°, 110°, 115°, 120°, 125°, 130°, 135°, 145°, 150°, but is not limited thereto. When the angle α between the light transmission plate 211 and the vehicle window glass 100 is less than 60° or exceeds 150°, it is difficult to make the detection light ray of the sensor 212 pass through the light transmission plate 211 at a small incident angle (≤ 30°) or an incident angle close to 0° because the sensor 212 can detect the external environment within the field of view in front of the vehicle 2.

[0056] In some embodiments, when the detection device 200 is in the second position, the angle α between the vehicle window glass 100 and the light transmission plate 211 is 90° to 120°. After the vehicle window glass 100 is attached to the vehicle 2 as a windshield, considering the mounting angle of the inclined windshield, when the angle α between the vehicle window glass 100 and the light transmission plate 211 is 90° to 120°, the assembly of the sensor 212 and the light transmission plate 211 can be better, and the detection light ray of the sensor 212 can pass through the light transmission plate 211 at a small incident angle (≤ 30°) or an incident angle close to 0°.

[0057] In some embodiments, when the detection module 210 is in the first position, the cover plate 230 is parallel to the vehicle window glass 100, and when the detection module 210 is in the second position, the angle β between the cover plate 230 and the vehicle window glass 100 is 20° to 45°.

[0058] Optionally, when the vehicle 2 does not require detection by the detection device 200 while stationary or in motion, the detection module 210 is in the first position, the cover plate 230 is parallel to the window glass 100, and the cover plate 230 abuts against the window glass 100. At this time, the cover plate 230 covers the through opening 130 to seal the window glass 100 and protect the detection device. Preferably, when the detection module 210 is in the first position, the outer surface of the cover plate 230 is flush or substantially flush with the second surface 120 of the window glass 100, thereby ensuring the integrated appearance of the window assembly 1. Considering that the window glass 100 is usually curved, a certain angle may be provided between the cover plate 230 and the window glass 100. For example, the angle between the cover plate 230 and the window glass 100 may be 0° to 10°, preferably 0° to 5°, and more preferably 0° to 3°.

[0059] Optionally, when the vehicle 2 requires detection by the detection device 200 while stationary or in motion, the detection device 200 is in the second position, and the angle β between the cover plate 230 and the window glass 100 may be 20°, 22°, 24°, 26°, 28°, 30°, 32°, 34°, 36°, 38°, 40°, 42°, 44°, 45°, but is not limited thereto. When the angle β between the cover plate 230 and the window glass 100 is less than 20°, the vertical length of the light transmission plate 211 is too small, and as a result, the detection field of view of the sensor 212 is too narrow, affecting the detection effect. When the angle β between the cover plate 230 and the window glass 100 is greater than 45°, the vertical length of the light transmission plate 211 is too large, so when the vehicle 2 is in motion after the window assembly 1 is installed on the vehicle 2, a large wind resistance and wind noise will occur.

[0060] In some embodiments, when the detection device 200 is in the second position, the angle θ between the light transmission plate 211 and the detection light beam emitted and / or received by the sensor 212 is 60° to 120°. Thereby, the detection light beam of the sensor 212 can pass through the light transmission plate 211 at a small incident angle of 30° or less. Optionally, the angle θ between the light transmission plate 211 and the detection light beam of the sensor 212 may be 60°, 65°, 70°, 75°, 80°, 85°, 90°, 95°, 100°, 105°, 110°, 115°, 120°, but is not limited thereto. When the angle θ between the light transmission plate 211 and the detection light beam of the sensor 212 is less than 60° or greater than 120°, according to Snell's law, the detection light beam emitted and / or received by the sensor 212 has a severe reflection situation on the surface of the light transmission plate 211. As a result, when the detection light beam passes through the light transmission plate 211, it is severely attenuated, thereby reducing the detection accuracy and detection distance of the sensor 212. In other words, when the angle θ formed between the light transmission plate 211 and the detection light beam of the sensor 212 is in the range of 90° ± 30°, the detection light beam of the sensor 212 can pass through the light transmission plate 211 at a small incident angle of 30° or less. The closer the angle θ is to 90°, the smaller the attenuation degree of the detection light beam of the sensor 212 and the higher the detection accuracy of the sensor 212. After the window assembly 1 is attached to the vehicle 2, the angle between the detection light beam of the sensor 212 and the horizontal plane is 0° to 5°. Specifically, the angle between the detection light beam of the sensor 212 and the horizontal plane may be 0°, 1°, 2°, 3°, 4°, 5°, but is not limited thereto. In the present application, there are usually multiple detection light beams of the sensor 212, and the measurement of the angle related to the detection light beam is performed based on its central light beam.

[0061] In some embodiments, when the detection device 200 is in the second position, the angle θ between the light transmission plate 211 and the detection light beam emitted and / or received by the sensor 212 is 70° to 110°, so that the detection light beam of the sensor 212 can pass through the light transmission plate 211 at a small incident angle of 20° or less.

[0062] In some embodiments, when the detection device 200 is in the second position, the angle θ between the detection light beam emitted and / or received by the light transmission plate 211 and the sensor 212 is 80° to 100°, so that the detection light beam of the sensor 212 can pass through the light transmission plate 211 at a small incident angle of 10° or less.

[0063] In some embodiments, the detection module 210 further includes a first sealing curtain 311 and a second sealing curtain 312.
