Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0028] Hereinafter, an embodiment in which the glass plate module according to the present invention is applied to a fixed window at the rear of a vehicle will be described.

[0029] <A. First Embodiment> The first embodiment of the glass plate module according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a view of the vicinity of the rear of a vehicle to which the glass plate module according to this embodiment is attached, FIG. 2 is a plan view of the glass plate module as viewed from inside the vehicle body, and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A of the glass plate module.

[0030] As shown in FIG. 1, the glass plate module 10 according to this embodiment constitutes a fixed window arranged adjacent to the window glass 51 of the rear door 5 on the side of the vehicle body. More specifically, the window glass 51 of the rear door 5 is formed in a rectangular shape, and a window frame 52 is formed so as to surround the front side, upper side, and rear side of this window glass 51. And in the window frame 52, a rear pillar 521 extending along the rear side of the window glass 51 is adjacent to the glass plate module 10.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 3, a mounting recess 81 is formed on the side of the vehicle body to which the triangular glass sheet module 10 is attached. The mounting recess 81 is formed in a triangular shape to match the shape of the glass sheet module 10, and one side of the mounting recess 81 is adjacent (contacts) with the rear pillar 521 of the rear door 5. The vehicle body is formed with a door arrangement portion 82 adjacent to the mounting recess 81, in which the rear end portion of the rear door 5 including the rear pillar 521 is arranged. The door arrangement portion 82 is formed so as to be recessed further toward the inside of the vehicle body than the mounting recess 81, and is formed so as to be continuous with the mounting recess 81 via a connecting portion 83. As a result, the mounting recess 81 and the door arrangement portion 82 are connected to form a step. When the rear door 5 is closed, that is, when the rear pillar 521 of the rear door 5 is arranged in the door arrangement portion 82, the rear pillar 521 is in contact with the peripheral portion 21 of the glass sheet module 10, as described later. The glass sheet module will be described in detail below.

[0032] <1. Overview of the Glass Plate Module> 2, this glass plate module 10 includes a glass plate 1, a window assembly 2 attached along the periphery of the glass plate 1, and clips (temporary fixing members) 41, 42 for temporarily fixing the glass plate module 10 in a mounting recess 81. First, the glass plate 1 will be described.

[0033] <1-1. Glass plate> As shown in Fig. 2, the glass plate 1 is formed in a triangular shape having an upper edge 11, a front edge 12, and a lower edge 13 as its contours. The upper edge 11 is formed to be slightly curved and to be inclined downward as it approaches the rear. The front edge 12 is formed to face the rear pillar 521 of the rear door 5 described above, and is formed in a substantially straight line so as to be inclined downward as it approaches the rear from the front end of the upper edge 11. The lower edge 13 is formed to be inclined slightly from the lower end of the front edge 12, and to be inclined slightly upward as it approaches the rear.

[0034] A known glass plate can be used as the glass plate 1, and it can be made of heat absorbing glass, general clear glass, green glass, or UV green glass. Below, examples of compositions of clear glass, heat absorbing glass, and soda lime glass are shown.

[0035] (Clear glass) SiO2:70~73% by mass Al2O3:0.6~2.4% by mass CaO: 7~12% by mass MgO: 1.0~4.5% by mass RO: 13 to 15 mass% (R is an alkali metal) Total iron oxide converted to Fe2O3 (T-Fe2O3): 0.08-0.14 mass%

[0036] (Heat absorbing glass) The composition of the heat ray absorbing glass can be, for example, based on the composition of clear glass, with the ratio of total iron oxide converted to Fe2O3 (T-Fe2O3) being 0.4 to 1.3 mass%, the ratio of CeO2 being 0 to 2 mass%, the ratio of TiO2 being 0 to 0.5 mass%, and the glass skeletal components (mainly SiO2 and Al2O3) being reduced by the increases in T-Fe2O3, CeO2, and TiO2.

[0037] (Soda-lime glass) SiO2: 65~80% by mass Al2O3: 0~5% by mass CaO: 5~15% by mass MgO: 2% by mass or more NaO: 10~18% by mass K2O: 0~5% by mass MgO+CaO: 5~15% by mass Na2O+K2O: 10~20% by mass SO3:0.05~0.3% by mass B2O3:0~5% by mass Total iron oxide converted to Fe2O3 (T-Fe2O3): 0.02-0.03 mass%

[0038] The thickness of the glass plate 1 according to this embodiment is not particularly limited, but is preferably 2.4 to 7.0 mm, and more preferably 2.8 to 5.0 mm.

[0039] In addition, a mask layer 15 made of a dark colored ceramic such as black is laminated on the periphery of the glass plate 1. This mask layer 15 blocks the view from inside and outside the vehicle, and is laminated along three sides of the inner surface of the glass plate 1.

[0040] The mask layer 15 can be made of various materials, such as ceramic, and may have the following composition, for example: [Table 1] *1, Main components: copper oxide, chromium oxide, iron oxide and manganese oxide *2, Main ingredients: bismuth borosilicate, zinc borosilicate

[0041] The ceramic can be formed by screen printing, but it can also be produced by transferring a firing transfer film to a glass plate and firing it. When using screen printing, for example, the following can be used: polyester screen: 355 mesh, coat thickness: 20 μm, tension: 20 Nm, squeegee hardness: 80 degrees, mounting angle: 75°, printing speed: 300 mm / s. The ceramic can be formed by drying in a drying oven at 150°C for 10 minutes.

[0042] Furthermore, the mask layer 15 can be formed by laminating ceramics, or by attaching a dark-colored resin shielding film.

[0043] <1-2. Window assembly> The window assembly 2 fills the gap between the glass sheet 1 and the vehicle body, and has a peripheral portion 21 formed along the peripheral edge of the glass sheet 1. As described above, the mask layer 15 is laminated on the peripheral edge of the glass sheet 1, and the peripheral portion 21 is attached to the peripheral edge of the glass sheet 1 with a width smaller than the width of the mask layer 15 (the length from the edge of the glass sheet 1 toward the inside). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the window assembly 2 has a band-shaped inner portion 211 along the inner surface of the glass sheet 1 in cross section, a band-shaped outer portion 212 along the outer surface of the glass sheet 1, and a connecting portion 213 extending along the edge of the glass sheet 1 so as to connect the inner portion 211 and the outer portion 212, and has a U-shaped cross section as a whole. The inner portion 211 is disposed on the mask layer 15.

[0044] The thickness of the peripheral portion 21, that is, the thickness D in the thickness direction of the glass plate 1, is preferably 3 mm to 30 mm, and more preferably 3 mm to 15 mm.

[0045] Furthermore, when the glass plate module 10 is attached to the vehicle body, the glass plate 1 is fixed to the periphery of the opening of the mounting recess 81 by the adhesive 79, so that the opening is covered by the glass plate 1.

[0046] The material constituting the peripheral portion 21 is not particularly limited, but for example, it can be formed from TPO (olefin-based thermoplastic elastomer) by a known method such as injection molding. In addition, it can be formed from, for example, PVC (polyvinyl chloride) or EPDM (ethylene-propylene-diene copolymer rubber).

[0047] <1-3. Clips for temporary fastening> As shown in FIG. 2, two fixing clips 41 and 42 are attached to the glass plate module 10 on the surface facing the vehicle interior. That is, the first clip 41 is attached near the corner where the front edge 12 and the upper edge 11 of the glass plate 1 intersect, and the second clip 42 is attached near the corner where the upper edge 11 and the lower edge 13 intersect. The base end of the first clip 41 is embedded in the peripheral edge 21. Meanwhile, the second clip 42 is fixed to the glass plate 1 via a reinforcing member 6 formed of the same material as the peripheral edge 21. This reinforcing member 6 is fixed to a mask layer 15 on the glass plate 1 away from the inner peripheral edge of the peripheral edge 21 via an adhesive such as a primer.

[0048] Each of the clips 41, 42 is a snap-type clip, and is adapted to be fitted into a mounting hole (not shown) formed in the vehicle body.

[0049] Incidentally, since the reinforcing member 6 that fixes the second clip 42 to the glass plate 1 is separated from the inner peripheral edge of the peripheral portion 21, when the window assembly 2 is molded by injection molding, a connecting portion that connects the reinforcing member 6 to the peripheral portion 21 is molded, and this connecting portion is removed after molding. This point will be described in detail below with reference to Figures 4 to 6. Figure 4 is a plan view of the glass plate module after injection molding, Figure 5 is a partially enlarged view of Figure 4, and Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along line BB in Figure 4.

[0050] The window assembly 2 is injection molded as follows. That is, the glass sheet 1 and the clips 41 and 42 are placed in a cavity of a mold (not shown), and a resin material is injected from a gate. Then, immediately after the window assembly is injection molded, the reinforcing member 6 and the peripheral portion 21 are connected by the connecting portion 25, as shown in FIG. 4. In order to mold such a connecting portion 25, the mold is provided with a third cavity for molding the connecting portion 25 between the first cavity for molding the peripheral portion 21 and the second cavity for molding the reinforcing member 6. Thus, the resin material injected from the gate is supplied from the first cavity to the second cavity via the third cavity. As a result, the reinforcing member 6 is molded at a position away from the peripheral portion 21.

[0051] 5, the connecting portion 25 includes a connecting portion main body 251 formed in a rod shape, a first connecting piece 252 connected to an end of the connecting portion main body 251 on the peripheral portion 21 side, and a second connecting piece 253 connected to an end of the connecting portion main body 251 on the reinforcing member 6 side. The first connecting piece 252 and the second connecting piece 253 are smaller in width and height than the connecting portion main body 251.

[0052] A recess 215 is formed in the peripheral portion 21 at a location connected to the first connecting piece 252, and the first connecting piece 252 is connected inside this recess 215. The connecting portion body 251 extends from this recess 215 perpendicular to the peripheral portion 21, and a side surface of the connecting portion body 251 and the reinforcing member 6 are connected by a second connecting piece 253. As described above, to remove the connecting portion 25, the narrower first connecting piece 252 and second connecting piece 253 are cut off from the peripheral portion 21 and the reinforcing member 6, respectively, and the connecting portion body 251 is peeled off from the glass plate 1.

[0053] The glass sheet module thus produced is attached to the vehicle body by applying adhesive 79 to the glass sheet 1 in an area along the inner peripheral edge of the peripheral portion 21, i.e., the area between the inner peripheral edge of the peripheral portion 21 and the reinforcing member 6. At this time, clips 41 and 42 are fitted into mounting holes in the vehicle body to fix the glass sheet module to the vehicle body. This serves as a temporary fastening function until the adhesive 79 dries.

[0054] <2. Features> As described above, according to this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained. (1) The connecting part 25 is formed by a connecting part main body 251 and first and second connecting pieces 252, 253 having narrow widths provided at both ends thereof, with the first connecting piece 252 being connected to the peripheral part 21 and the second connecting piece 253 being connected to the reinforcing member 6. Therefore, the connecting part 25 can be removed by cutting both connecting pieces 252, 253. At this time, stress is likely to be concentrated on both narrow connecting pieces 252, 253, so that the connecting part 25 can be easily removed.

[0055] (2) Since the first connecting piece 252 is connected to the inside of the recess 215 of the peripheral portion 21, when the first connecting piece 252 is cut, the cut portion, i.e., the remaining piece of the first connecting piece 252, can be prevented from protruding significantly from the inner peripheral edge of the peripheral portion 21. This makes it possible to prevent the remaining piece from interfering with the application area of ​​the adhesive 79 when the adhesive 79 is applied to the area between the inner peripheral edge of the peripheral portion 21 and the reinforcing member 6 and attached to the vehicle. On the other hand, if the recess 215 is not provided and the first connecting piece 252 is directly connected to the inner peripheral edge of the peripheral portion 21, when the first connecting piece 252 is cut, the remaining piece of the first connecting piece 252 may protrude significantly from the inner peripheral edge of the peripheral portion 21 and may interfere with the application area of ​​the adhesive 79. From this viewpoint, it is preferable that the length by which the remaining piece remaining in the recess 215 protrudes from the inner peripheral edge of the peripheral portion 21 is 2 mm or less, but it is more preferable that the remaining piece is disposed in the recess 215 so as not to protrude at all.

[0056] <3. Modifications> The configuration of the connecting portion 25 is not particularly limited as long as it can connect the peripheral portion 21 and the reinforcing member 6. Therefore, it may be other than rod-shaped, and the narrow connecting pieces 252 and 253 are not necessarily required. Further, the shape of the recess 215 is not particularly limited as long as it is recessed from the inner peripheral edge of the peripheral portion 21 and is connected to the connecting portion 25 at any position inside this.

[0057] Also, the clips 41 and 42 are one form of the temporary fixing member according to the present invention, and the configuration is not particularly limited as long as the glass plate module and the vehicle body can be temporarily fixed.

[0058] <B. Second Embodiment> Next, a second embodiment of the glass plate module according to the present invention will be described. Hereinafter, only the differences from the first embodiment will be described, and the same components will be denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted.

[0059] FIG. 7 is a plan view of the glass plate module according to the second embodiment, FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view taken along line C-C of FIG. 7, and FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view taken along line D-D of FIG. 7. As shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, in the glass plate module according to the second embodiment, a strip-shaped shielding portion 214 extending toward the vehicle body side is provided at the peripheral portion 21 corresponding to the front side 12 of the glass plate 1. This shielding portion 214 is a member for shielding so that a passenger cannot see the space between the vehicle body and the glass plate module from the inside of the vehicle when the door is open. More specifically, the shielding portion 214 stands up so as to be orthogonal to the peripheral portion 21 and extends along the connecting portion 83 which is the step between the mounting recess 81 of the vehicle body and the door arrangement portion 82. Its thickness can be, for example, 1 to 7 mm, and among them, the thickness can be, for example, 1.5 mm to 3 mm. And, although not shown, the closed rear door 5 contacts this shielding portion 214. Note that the thickness of the shielding portion 214 refers to the thickness in a direction perpendicular to the direction extending along the glass plate 1 at a position half the height from the peripheral portion 21 of the shielding portion 214 . Also, the height of the shielding portion 214 will be described later.

[0060] However, as shown in FIG. 9, in the vicinity of the corner where the upper side 11 and the front side 12 of the glass plate 1 intersect, a step like the connecting portion 83 is not formed, so that when a force acts on the shielding portion 214 from the rear door 5 side, the shielding portion 214 is likely to fall over. In particular, when the door 5 is open and an occupant presses the shielding portion 214 in the vicinity of the corner of the glass plate module, the shielding portion 214 falls over, which impairs the luxury of the vehicle body and also causes the space between the vehicle body and the glass plate module to be visible. Therefore, in this embodiment, a cylindrical reinforcing member 7 is integrally formed in the vicinity of the above-mentioned corner in the peripheral portion 21. This reinforcing member 7 is disposed in the peripheral portion 21 on the opposite side of the shielding portion 214 from the rear door 5 side and in the vicinity of the shielding portion 214. This reinforcing member 7 prevents the shielding portion 214 from falling over. 214 When the rear door 5 is subjected to force and falls over, the shielding part 214 The shielding portion can support the 214 Therefore, the rigidity of the window assembly 2 can be increased, and the shielding portion can be prevented from falling down. 214 However, it is possible to prevent only the parts without steps from deforming, which would result in a deterioration in appearance.

[0061] In addition, by configuring as described above, the shielding portion 214 Even if the thickness of the shielding part is small, 214 For example, it is possible to increase the thickness of the shielding portion to increase its rigidity, but this may cause sink marks during molding with resin, which may deteriorate the appearance. 214 It is significant to provide the reinforcing member 7 away from the shielding portion. 214 If the thickness is too large, the rigidity will be too high and the shielding part 214 When the door 5 comes into contact with the door 5, an abnormal noise may occur. 214 It is meaningful to make it thinner.

[0062] In addition, if it is possible to suppress sink marks and abnormal noise, for example, as shown in FIG. 214A connecting member 71 can be provided to connect the shielding portion 7 and the reinforcing member 7. The connecting member 71 is 214 It may be formed integrally with the reinforcing member 7, or may be formed as a separate member.

[0063] The reinforcing member 7 can be in various forms. 214 As long as it is possible to prevent the peripheral portion 21 from falling over, the reinforcing member 7 may have various shapes such as a polygonal column shape other than the cylindrical shape described above, a block shape, etc. Also, a plurality of reinforcing members 7 may be provided, or the reinforcing member 7 may be formed as a separate member without being integrated with the peripheral portion 21.

[0064] The height of the reinforcing member 7 from the peripheral portion 21 is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, about 1 to 20 mm. This height is the distance from the plane near the base of the reinforcing member 7 to the furthest point of the reinforcing member 21 in the vertical direction. This height is also defined by the shielding portion. 214 The same is true for the shielding part 214 In the vertical direction from the plane near the base of 214 However, the height of the reinforcing member 7 is the distance to the farthest point of the shielding portion. 214 If the reinforcing member 7 is lower than the height of the door, it is possible to prevent the reinforcing member 7 from being seen from the door side. 214 A supporting portion 72 having a triangular shape in a side view can be provided on the surface opposite to the shielding portion 72. The supporting portion 72 supports the reinforcing member 7, and the shielding portion 72 is formed of a triangular shape in a side view. 214 When the reinforcing member 7 falls and comes into contact with the shielding portion, 214 At the same time, it is possible to prevent the support portion 72 from falling over. However, the shape of the support portion 72 is not particularly limited.

[0065] Shielding part 214 The shape of the shielding portion is not particularly limited, and the shielding portions do not all have to have the same height or thickness. 214 The location where the shielding portion is provided is not particularly limited, and for example, the shielding portion may be provided on a part of one of the sides. 214 may be provided.

[0066] <C. Third Embodiment> Next, a third embodiment of the glass plate module according to the present invention will be described. Hereinafter, only the differences from the first and second embodiments will be described, and the same components will be denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted.

[0067] FIG. 12 is a plan view of the glass plate module according to the third embodiment. As shown in the figure, in the glass plate module according to the present embodiment, a plate-shaped reinforcing member 29 is embedded in an outer portion 212 on the outside of the vehicle outside in the peripheral portion. This reinforcing member 29 is formed of a material having a higher thermal conductivity than the material forming the peripheral portion 21. For example, it can be formed of a metal such as stainless steel, aluminum, iron, or copper. Note that since this reinforcing member 29 requires rust prevention, it is preferable not to use a material that may rust. However, a material that may rust can be used after applying a rust prevention coating.

[0068] Thereby, the following effects can be obtained. First, the rigidity of the window assembly 2 can be increased by the reinforcing member 29. Further, the peripheral portion 21 has a relatively large thickness in order to maintain rigidity, and thus, when injection molding is performed, it may take time for cooling. Further, due to the large thickness, there is a possibility of poor resin fluidity or formation of sink marks during cooling. Therefore, when the reinforcing member 29 as described above is embedded in the peripheral portion 21, the rigidity of the peripheral portion 21 can be improved and the cooling time can also be shortened. That is, since the thermal conductivity of the reinforcing member 29 is high, the cooling of the resin in the peripheral portion 21 can be promoted by the reinforcing member 29. Further, since the amount of resin constituting the peripheral portion 21 is reduced, cooling is accelerated and the occurrence of sink marks can also be prevented.

[0069] The configuration of the reinforcing member 29 is not particularly limited and can be arranged at any position on the peripheral edge portion 21. However, considering the above effects, it is preferably embedded in the thick portion with a large wall thickness in the outer portion 212 of the peripheral edge portion 21. The thickness E of the thick portion can be, for example, 4 to 20 mm. However, the thick portion can be provided not only in the outer portion 212 but also in the inner portion 211 and the connecting portion 213. Further, the shape of the reinforcing member 29 is not particularly limited, and it is preferably plate-shaped so that it can be embedded in the peripheral edge portion 21, but it can be made into various shapes such as rod-shaped.

[0070] <D. Fourth Embodiment> Next, a fourth embodiment of the glass plate module according to the present invention will be described. Hereinafter, only the points different from the first to third embodiments will be described, and the same components will be denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted.

[0071] FIG. 13 is a plan view of the glass plate module according to the present embodiment as viewed from the vehicle interior side. As shown in the figure, a decorative plate 91 is attached to the outer surface of the vehicle along the lower side 13 of the peripheral edge portion 21. The material constituting the decorative plate 91 is not particularly limited, and for example, it can be formed of a metal such as stainless steel or a resin material. And this decorative plate 91 is attached to the peripheral edge portion 21 by, for example, insert molding.

[0072] On the other hand, on the inner surface of the peripheral edge portion 21, a plate-shaped reinforcing member 92 is attached near the corner portion which is the intersection of the upper side and the lower side. This reinforcing member 92 is for reinforcing the corner portion of the peripheral edge portion 21, but is attached so as to cover the inner surface of the peripheral edge portion 21 corresponding mainly to the portion where the decorative plate 91 is not attached. However, the fixing of the reinforcing member 92 is performed at the inner location 93 corresponding to the portion where the decorative plate 91 is attached. This fixing is performed by an adhesive or a so-called underlock in which the periphery of the reinforcing member 92 is covered with the resin of the peripheral edge portion 21. Note that there are other There is also a form. For example, a through hole can be formed in the reinforcing member 92, and a resin integrated with the peripheral portion 21 can be passed through this through hole to form a resin retaining member having a diameter larger than that of the through hole.

[0073] With the above configuration, the following effects can be obtained. That is, the rigidity near the corner of the peripheral portion 21 can be increased by the reinforcing member 92. Also, such a reinforcing member 92 may be fixed to the peripheral portion 21 with an adhesive. However, if this is done, a difference in the amount of shrinkage will occur between the portion where the reinforcing member 92 is adhered and the portion where it is not adhered in the resin peripheral portion 21, and sink marks or the like may occur on the outer surface of the vehicle side of the peripheral portion 21, and the appearance property may deteriorate. On the other hand, when the reinforcing member 92 is fixed to the location 93 on the side opposite to the location where the decorative plate 91 is disposed as in the present embodiment, for example, even if sink marks or the like occur on the peripheral portion 21, they can be hidden by the decorative plate 91, and the appearance property can be maintained.

[0074] Note that the shape of the reinforcing member 92 is not particularly limited, and it may be attached to any position of the peripheral portion 21. For example, in addition to the above location, at least a part of the reinforcing member 92 can also be attached to a position corresponding to an area where the decorative plate 91 is not attached. Also, a plurality of reinforcing members can be provided. Similarly, the shape and position of the decorative plate are not particularly limited, and a decorative member other than a plate shape may be used.

[0075] <E. Modification Example> As described above, the embodiments of the present invention have been described. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications are possible without departing from the spirit thereof. Also, the following modification examples can be appropriately combined.

[0076] <1> The configurations of the first to fourth embodiments described above can be appropriately combined. That is, a glass plate module can be configured using one or more of the configurations shown in the first to fourth embodiments.

[0077] <2> The shape of the glass plate 1 is not particularly limited, and it can be various shapes other than the triangular shape as described above, such as a polygonal shape, a circle, etc. The window assembly 2 is disposed on the periphery of such a glass plate 1. A molding that comes into contact with the door can also be provided separately on a part of the window assembly 2.

[0078] <3> The shape of the peripheral portion 21 is not particularly limited as long as it is attached to the peripheral portion of the glass plate 1. Therefore, the peripheral portion may be formed of at least one of the inner portion 211, the outer portion 212, and the connecting portion 213 described above. For example, the peripheral portion 21 may be formed by the inner portion 211 and the connecting portion 213.

[0079] <4> In the above embodiment, the glass plate module is in direct contact with the door 5, so that they are adjacent to each other, but a gap may be formed between them as shown in Fig. 14. In addition, when a gap is formed, for example, as shown in Fig. 15, a strip-shaped lip 60 made of resin or the like may be attached to the end of the door 5, and this lip 60 may be configured to come into contact with the peripheral portion 21 or the shielding portion 215 of the window assembly 2 of the glass plate module.

[0080] <5> In the above-described embodiments, the glass plate module is disposed behind the rear door so that a part of the window assembly 2 contacts the rear pillar of the rear door, but this is not limited thereto. That is, the application location of the glass plate module according to the present invention is not particularly limited. [Explanation of symbols]
