[0003] Fixed window glass, such as a triangular glass, needs to be fixed to the body sheet metal. Typically, fixed window glass is fixed to the body sheet metal using body adhesive or metal studs. However, the application and hardening of the body adhesive takes a long time, which affects the installation efficiency. In addition, the tightening of the metal stud requires precise alignment with the lock nut, which is difficult to operate and also affects the installation efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In a first aspect, the present application provides a glass assembly, including a glass and a fixing member, the fixing member being fixedly connected to at least one outer periphery of all outer peripheries of the glass, the fixing member having a fixing portion and an elastic portion, the fixing portion having a groove and an insertion opening communicating with the groove, an insertion part being able to be inserted into the groove through the insertion opening, the elastic portion being accommodated in the groove and protruding from a side wall of the groove defined by the fixing portion, the elastic portion abutting against the insertion part inserted in the groove to fix the glass to the insertion part.
[0005] Therein, the fixing members are fixedly connected to at least three outer peripheries of the glass.
[0006] The insertion openings are oriented in the same direction on at least three outer peripheries of the glass and are aligned in the thickness direction of the glass.
[0007] Among them, the orientation of the insertion opening located on one of the at least three outer peripheries of the glass is perpendicular to the thickness direction of the glass, and the orientation of the insertion opening located on the other of the at least three outer peripheries of the glass is the same as the thickness direction of the glass.
[0008] In this, the fixing member is fixedly connected to one of all outer peripheral sides of the glass, and the insertion opening is oriented perpendicular to the thickness direction of the glass; the glass assembly further includes an auxiliary member, which is fixedly connected to the other of all outer peripheral sides of the glass and is used to help fix the glass to one part of the inserted part, and the auxiliary member is further used to fix the glass to another part of the inserted part.
[0009] In the fixing member, the fixing member includes one or more elastic portions. When the fixing member includes multiple elastic portions, the multiple elastic portions protrude from at least one side of the side wall of the groove defined by the fixing member.
[0010] The elastic portion includes an elastic element and an abutment element, one end of the elastic element is connected to the side wall of the groove defined by the fixing portion, the abutment element is connected to the other end opposite to the one end of the elastic element, and the abutment element is inclined in a direction away from the insertion opening.
[0011] In this case, when at least one elastic part is protruding from one side of the side wall of the groove defined by the fixing part, the fixing part includes a fixing body and a protruding part, the fixing body has a groove and an insertion opening, the protruding part is protruding from the side wall of the groove defined by the fixing body, and the protruding part and the elastic part are arranged opposite to each other.

[0013] Therein, the support part includes a support body and an extension part, the support body is annularly disposed in the groove, and the extension part is connected to at least one side of the support body that is away from the groove.
[0014] Therein, the glass assembly further includes an injection-molded part, which is used to connect the glass and the fixing member.
[0015] Therein, the glass assembly further includes a decorative part, which is attached to one side of the injection-molded part that is exposed to the outside of the vehicle body when the glass assembly is attached to the vehicle body.
[0016] The hardness of the fixed part 121 is SHA80°±5°, and the hardness of the elastic part 122 is SHA65°±5°.
[0017] The present application provides a glass assembly. The glass assembly includes a glass and a fixing member. The fixing member is fixedly connected to at least one outer periphery of the glass. After the receiving part is fitted into the groove, the fixing member clamps the receiving part with a clamping force jointly generated by the elastic portion and the fixing portion, thereby locking the receiving part and fixing the fixing member to the receiving part.

[0024] An embodiment of the present application provides a glass assembly 10. Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a structure in which a glass assembly according to an embodiment of the present application is attached to a fitting part. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. 1. In this embodiment, the glass assembly 10 includes a glass 11 and a fixing member 12. The fixing member 12 is fixedly connected to at least one outer periphery of all outer peripheries of the glass 11. The fixing member 12 includes a fixing portion 121 and an elastic portion 122. The fixing portion 121 includes a groove 1211 and an insertion opening 1212 communicating with the groove 1211. The fitting part 21 can be inserted into the groove 1211 through the insertion opening 1212. The elastic portion 122 is accommodated in the groove 1211 and protrudes from a side wall of the groove 1211 defined by the fixing portion 121. The elastic portion 122 is used to abut against the fitting part 21 fitted into the groove 1211 and fix the glass 11 to the fitting part 21 .
[0025] In this embodiment, the glass assembly 10 is fixed to a fitting part 21. Specifically, the glass assembly 10 is fixed to a vehicle body sheet metal.
[0026] In the related art, a fixed window glass, such as a triangular glass, of a vehicle 1 must be fixed to the body sheet metal. Typically, the fixed window glass is fixed to the body sheet metal using body adhesive or metal nail posts. However, applying and curing the body adhesive takes a long time, which affects installation efficiency. Furthermore, the tightening of the metal nail posts requires precise alignment with the lock nut, which is difficult to operate and also affects installation efficiency. Furthermore, when using metal nail posts to fix the fixed window glass to the body sheet metal, the metal nail posts are often located inside the adhesive application area due to the influence of the sheet metal and sealing properties. In this case, it is necessary to increase the boundary area, which reduces the visible area of the fixed window and affects the overall appearance of the vehicle.
[0027] Compared with the related art, in this embodiment, the glass 11 is a fixed window glass, and the glass 11 is fixed to the receiving part 21 via a fixing member 12. The fixing member 12 is fixedly connected to at least one of the outer peripheries of the glass 11, and by pressing the fixing member 12 toward the receiving part 21, the glass 11 can be quickly fixed to the receiving part 21, which is simple to operate, fast to install, and highly efficient to install.
[0028] Specifically, the fixing member 12 includes a fixing portion 121 and an elastic portion 122. The fixing portion 121 includes a groove 1211 and an insertion opening 1212 communicating with the groove 1211. To insert the fitting part 21 into the fixing portion 121, the fitting part 21 can enter the groove 1211 through the insertion opening 1212. The elastic portion 122 is accommodated in the groove 1211 and protrudes from the side wall of the groove 1211 defined by the fixing portion 121. After the fitting part 21 is inserted into the fixing portion 121, the elastic portion 122 elastically abuts against the side surface of the fitting part 21 and blends with the fixing portion 121 to fix the glass 11 to the fitting part 21 together.
[0029] In this embodiment, the elastic portion 122 is accommodated in the groove 1211, and the fitting part 21 needs to press the elastic portion 122 to fit the fitting part 21 into the fixing part 121. When the fitting part 21 is fitted into the fixing part 121, the elastic portion 122 elastically abuts against the fitting part 21, and the elastic portion 122, together with the fixing part 121, generates a clamping force on the fitting part 21, preventing the fixing part 121 from falling off the fitting part 21 and firmly fixing the fixing part 121 to the fitting part 21, and further fixing the glass 11 to the fitting part 21. The groove 1211 has a "U" structure, which can improve the compatibility and mounting force between the fixing part 121 and the fitting part 21.
[0030] Alternatively, the outer surface of the elastic portion 122 may have a relatively large roughness, which increases the frictional force between the elastic portion 122 and the inserted part 21, further preventing the fixing portion 121 from falling off the inserted part 21, and further improving the stability of the glass 11 being fixed to the inserted part 21.
[0031] Furthermore, because the glass 11 can be fixed to the fitting part 21 without applying adhesive or attaching metal nail posts, there is no need to leave areas for applying adhesive or attaching metal nail posts on the glass 11; the fixing members 12 can be attached to the outer periphery of the glass 11. Therefore, the glass 11 has a relatively large visible area, reduces the flat width of the sheet metal, enhances the overall appearance of the glass 11, improves the overall appearance of the vehicle, and gives customers a different visual experience.
[0032] Furthermore, since the glass 11 can be fixed to the receiving part 21 without applying adhesive or attaching metal nails, when removing the glass 11, the glass 11 can be quickly removed from the receiving part 21 by simply applying force in the opposite direction to the installation direction of the glass 11, which is convenient to remove and does not cause secondary damage to the glass 11 or the receiving part 21, which is advantageous for repair and replacement of the glass 11.
[0033] Additionally, the glass assembly 10 can provide customers with new installation methods, thereby enhancing the customer experience.
[0034] As described above, an embodiment of the present application provides a glass assembly 10. The glass assembly 10 includes a glass pane 11 and a fixing member 12. The fixing member 12 is fixedly connected to at least one of the outer peripheries of the glass pane 11. After the receiving part 21 is fitted into the groove 1211, the fixing member 12 clamps the receiving part 21 with a clamping force jointly generated by the elastic portion 122 and the fixing portion 121, thereby locking the receiving part 21 and fixing the fixing member 12 to the receiving part 21. Therefore, by pressing the fixing portion 121 toward the receiving part 21, the glass pane 11 can be quickly fixed to the receiving part 21, which is simple and efficient. Furthermore, the glass pane 11 does not require the application of adhesive or the installation of metal pegs, and the glass pane 11 has a relatively large visible area, improving the overall appearance of the glass pane 11. Furthermore, the glass 11 can be removed from the receiving part 21 quickly and without damage, which is advantageous for repair and replacement of the glass 11. Therefore, the operation of fixing the glass assembly 10 provided in the present application to the receiving part 21 is simple and efficient.
[0035] Please refer to Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 together. Figure 3 is a schematic diagram showing a structure in which a glass assembly according to another embodiment of the present application is attached to a fitting part 21. Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line BB in Figure 3. Figure 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along line CC in Figure 3. In this embodiment, the fixing member 12 is fixedly connected to at least three outer peripheries of the glass 11, thereby increasing the stability with which the glass 11 is fixed to the fitting part 21.
[0036] Specifically, in one embodiment (see FIGS. 1 and 2), the insertion openings 1212 are oriented in the same direction on at least three outer peripheries of the glass 11, and are aligned in the thickness direction of the glass 11.
[0037] In this embodiment, the glass 11 will be described as having three outer peripheries. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of one outer periphery of the glass 11. As can be seen, the cross-sectional structures of the other two outer peripheries of the glass 11 are the same as the structure shown in FIG. 2. The insertion opening 1212 faces the thickness direction of the glass 11. Therefore, in the process of fixing the glass 11 to the fitting 21, the insertion opening 1212 is aligned with the fitting 21, and then the glass 11 can be fixed to the fitting 21 via the fixing member 12 simply by applying pressure in the thickness direction of the glass 11. This is a simple and efficient operation.
[0038] In another embodiment (see Figures 3, 4 and 5), the orientation of the insertion opening 1212 located on one of the at least three outer periphery sides of the glass 11 is perpendicular to the thickness direction of the glass 11, and the orientation of the insertion openings 1212 located on the other sides of all the outer periphery sides of the glass 11 is the same as the thickness direction of the glass 11.
[0039] In this embodiment, the glass 11 has three outer peripheries. In the process of fixing the glass 11 to the receiving part 21, first, the insertion opening 1212, which is oriented perpendicular to the thickness direction of the glass 11, is aligned with one portion of the receiving part 21 and then pressed toward the portion of the receiving part 21 to fix the glass 11 to that portion of the receiving part 21. Next, the other two insertion openings 1212, which are oriented in the same direction as the thickness direction of the glass 11, are aligned with other portions of the receiving part 21 and then pressed toward the thickness direction of the glass 11 to fix the glass 11 to the other portions of the receiving part 21, thereby fixing the glass 11 to the receiving part 21. Because the insertion openings 1212 have two different orientations on all outer peripheries of the glass 11, removing the glass 11 from the receiving part 21 requires sequential pressing in two different directions, thereby more stably fixing the glass 11 to the receiving part 21. As can be understood, the process of fixing the glass 11 to the fitting 21 is merely an illustrative example, and the order in which the fixing members 12 installed on different outer sides of the glass 11 are fixed to the fitting 21 is not limited.
[0040] In other embodiments, the orientation of the insertion opening 1212 is not limited to being the same as or perpendicular to the thickness direction of the glass 11, but may be in other directions, and the angle between the orientation of the insertion opening 1212 and the surface of the glass 11 may be an acute angle or an obtuse angle, and is specifically designed according to actual installation needs. When the glass 11 has four or more outer peripheries, the orientation of the insertion openings 1212 located on at least both sides of all outer peripheries of the glass 11 is perpendicular to the thickness direction of the glass 11, and the orientation of the insertion openings 1212 located on the other sides of all outer peripheries of the glass 11 is the same as the thickness direction of the glass 11.
[0041] Please refer to FIGS. 6 and 7 together. FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing a structure in which a glass assembly according to another embodiment of the present application is attached to a fitting part. FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along line DD in FIG. 6. In this embodiment, the fixing member 12 is fixedly connected to one of the outer peripheries of the glass 11, and the insertion opening 1212 is oriented perpendicular to the thickness direction of the glass 11. The glass assembly 10 further includes an auxiliary member 13. The auxiliary member 13 is fixedly connected to the other of the outer peripheries of the glass 11 and is used to help fix the glass 11 to one part of the fitting part 21, and the auxiliary member 13 is further used to fix the glass 11 to another part of the fitting part 21.
[0042] In this embodiment, the auxiliary member 13 and the fixing member 12 are provided on different sides of the entire outer periphery of the glass 11, and one of the entire outer peripheries of the glass 11 is fixed to one part of the fitting part 21 by the fixing member 12, and the other of the entire outer periphery of the glass 11 is fixed to another part of the fitting part 21 by the auxiliary member 13, thereby fixing the glass 11 to the fitting part 21. The auxiliary member 13 is made of a metal material such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy, and provides support and increases the stability of the glass 11 when fixed to the fitting part 21.
[0043] Alternatively, the auxiliary member 13 may be a guide rail having a fixing groove, which is used to connect the glass 11 to the side where the fixing member 12 is not installed, and both ends of the guide rail are fixed to the inserted part 21 by bolts.
[0044] Alternatively, one side of the glass 11 is fixed to the fitting 21 by a fixing member 12, and the other side of the glass 11 is fixedly connected to the body sheet metal by an integrally formed or additional fixing member 12.
[0045] Optionally, fixing members 12 may be attached to the outer periphery of the glass 11 to further increase the strength with which the glass 11 is fixed to the fitting part.
[0046] In any of the above-mentioned embodiments, when the insertion opening 1212 is oriented perpendicular to the glass 11, the fixing member 12 and the glass 11 are stacked in the thickness direction of the glass 11, or the fixing member 12 and the glass 11 are stacked in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the glass 11.
[0047] Please refer to Figures 8 and 9. Figure 8 is a schematic diagram showing the structure of a fixing member according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 9 is a schematic diagram showing the structure of a fixing member according to another embodiment of the present application. In this embodiment, the fixing member 12 includes one or more elastic portions 122. When the fixing member 12 includes multiple elastic portions 122, the multiple elastic portions 122 protrude from at least one side of the side wall of the groove 1211 defined by the fixing portion 121.
[0048] When the fixing member 12 includes a plurality of elastic portions 122, in one embodiment, the elastic portions 122 protrude from the same side of the side wall of the groove 1211 defined by the fixing portion 121, so that after the fitted part 21 is fitted into the groove 1211, the elastic portions 122 elastically abut the same side of the fitted part 21, causing the opposite side of the fitted part 21 to abut against the fixing portion 121. In another embodiment, the elastic portions 122 protrude from both sides of the side wall of the groove 1211 defined by the fixing portion 121, so that after the fitted part 21 is fitted into the groove 1211, the elastic portions 122 elastically abut against both sides of the fitted part 21, increasing the frictional force between the elastic portions 122 and the fitted part 21.
[0049] 8 and 9 again. In this embodiment, the elastic part 122 includes an elastic element 1221 and an abutting element 1222. One end of the elastic element 1221 is connected to the side wall of the groove 1211 defined by the fixing part 121. The abutting element 1222 is connected to the other end opposite to the one end of the elastic element 1221, and is inclined in a direction away from the insertion opening 122.
[0050] In this embodiment, the abutment portion 1222 is inclined in a direction away from the insertion opening 122, and the elastic portion 122 has an "inverted hook" shape. After the insertion part 21 is inserted into the groove 1211, the elastic portion 122 abuts against the insertion part 21, and further generates frictional resistance against the insertion part 21 disengaging from the groove 1211, thereby increasing the stability with which the glass 11 is fixed to the insertion part 21.
[0051] Alternatively, the surface of the abutting portion 1222 that abuts against the inserted part 21 may have a convex or concave microstructure, which increases the surface roughness of the abutting portion 1222 that abuts against the inserted part 21, and further creates frictional resistance against the inserted part 21 disengaging from the groove 1211, thereby improving the stability of the glass 11 being fixed to the inserted part 21.
[0052] Please refer to Fig. 8 again. In this embodiment, when at least one elastic part 122 is protruded from one side of a side wall of a groove 1211 defined by the fixing part 121, the fixing part 121 includes a fixing body 1213 and a protruding part 1214. The fixing body 1213 has a groove 1211 and an insertion opening 1212. The protruding part 1214 is protruded from the side wall of the groove 1211 defined by the fixing body 1213, and the protruding part 1214 and the elastic part 122 are disposed opposite to each other.
[0053] In this embodiment, the protruding portion 1214 and the elastic portion 122 are arranged opposite each other. After the insertable part 21 is inserted into the groove 1211, the elastic portion 122 abuts one side of the insertable part 21, causing the other side of the insertable part 21 to abut against the protruding portion 1214, thereby creating frictional resistance against the insertable part 21 disengaging from the groove 1211, thereby increasing the stability of the glass 11 being fixed to the insertable part 21.
[0054] 8 again, in this embodiment, the fixing member 12 further includes a support part 123. The support part 123 is fitted into the fixing body 1213 and annularly disposed in the groove 1211 to provide support for the fixing part 121.
[0055] In this embodiment, the support portion 123 is fitted into the fixing body 1213 to provide support to the fixing portion 121, thereby increasing the strength of the connection between the fixing member 12 and the inserted part 21 and further increasing the stability of the glass 11 being fixed to the inserted part 21.
[0056] Alternatively, the support 123 may be made of a metal material such as stainless steel, iron, or aluminum alloy, but is not limited thereto.
[0057] Please refer to Fig. 10. Fig. 10 is a schematic diagram showing the structure of a fixing member according to another embodiment of the present application. In this embodiment, the support portion 123 includes a support body 1231 and an extension portion 1232. The support body 1231 is annularly disposed in the groove 1211. The extension portion 1232 is connected to at least one side of the support body 1231 that is away from the groove 1211.
[0058] In this embodiment, the support part 123 includes a support body 1231 annularly disposed in the groove 1211, and an extension part 1232 extending away from the groove 1211. The extension part 1232 can extend in any direction away from the groove 1211, and can be specifically designed based on actual applications. The extension part 1232 is also fitted into the fixing body 1213 to further support the fixing part 121, thereby increasing the strength of the connection between the fixing member 12 and the receiving part 21 and further increasing the stability of the fixing of the glass 11 to the receiving part 21.
[0059] Please refer to Figure 11. Figure 11 is a schematic diagram of a connection between a glass and a fixing member according to an embodiment of the present application. In this embodiment, the glass assembly 10 further includes an injection-molded part 14. The injection-molded part 14 is used to connect the glass 11 and the fixing member 12.
[0060] In this embodiment, the injection-molded part 14 connects the glass 11 and the fixing member 12 by injection molding, thereby increasing the connection strength between the glass 11 and the fixing member 12.
[0061] Alternatively, the injection molded part 14 and the fastener 12 are injection molded together.
[0062] Optionally, the injection molded part 14 can be made of, but is not limited to, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), or the like.
[0063] In any one of the above-mentioned embodiments, the glass 11 and the fixing member 12 can be connected by the injection molding part 14, and FIG. 11 will be explained simply using one embodiment.
[0064] Referring again to Figure 11, in this embodiment, the glass assembly 10 further includes a decorative component 15. The decorative component 15 is attached to one side of the injection-molded component 14 that is exposed to the outside of the vehicle body 20 when the glass assembly 10 is attached to the vehicle body 20.
[0065] In this embodiment, the decorative component 15 is intended to decorate the injection-molded component 14. Specifically, the decorative component 15 is attached to the surface of the injection-molded component 14 that is exposed to the outside of the vehicle body 20, thereby enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the glass assembly 10.
