Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a vehicle glass module that can be opened in one direction by applying a force from one end portion, with the other end portion acting as a pivot axis. [Background technology]

[0002] A single-sided side quarter window glass provided on the rear side window of an automobile has been known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). The side quarter window glass is capable of ventilating the interior of the vehicle by unlocking one end of the glass plate and rotating the other end of the glass plate as a rotation axis to form a small gap.

[0003] The vehicle glass module described in Patent Document 1 includes a glass plate and a metal plate hinge adhesively fixed to the other end of the glass plate, and the metal plate hinge is fixed to the vehicle body with bolts and nuts. The metal plate hinge is formed in a U-shaped cross section surrounding the other end of the glass plate and in an elongated shape extending in the longitudinal direction of the other end.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 61-218419 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The vehicle glass module described in Patent Document 1 has a metal plate hinge with a U-shaped cross section and a long length, which makes the structure complicated and heavy, resulting in poor manufacturing efficiency, and furthermore, the metal plate is exposed from the outer surface, which makes the module look unattractive.In addition, since the metal plate hinge is supported by adhesively fixing it to the glass plate, there is a possibility that the adhesive will deteriorate and the glass plate will not be able to support its own weight, resulting in deformation, and there is a problem with durability.

[0006] Therefore, a vehicle glass module with good manufacturing efficiency and high durability is desired.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0007] The characteristic configuration of the vehicle glass module according to the present invention is a vehicle glass module that can be opened on one side by applying a force to one end and rotating the other end as a rotation axis, including a glass plate having a first surface on the outside of the vehicle and a second surface on the inside of the vehicle parallel to the first surface, a plurality of mounting members arranged on the side of the second surface at the other end of the glass plate and attachable to the vehicle body, and a fixing mechanism for separately fixing the glass plate and each of the mounting members, the fixing mechanism including an elastically deformable elastic member covering the entire edge of a through hole provided in the glass plate. The mounting member further includes a rotation prevention mechanism that is provided at a location different from the fixing mechanism and prevents the glass plate from rotating. lies in the point.

[0008] In this configuration, since a plurality of mounting members are separately fixed to the other end of the glass plate that becomes the hinge portion by the fixing mechanism, the weight of the mounting members is small, the manufacturing efficiency can be increased, and weight reduction can be achieved. Further, since each mounting member is fixed to the second surface on the inside of the vehicle of the glass plate, it is not conspicuous from the outside of the vehicle and has excellent aesthetics.

[0009] Moreover, since the fixing mechanism of this configuration includes an elastically deformable elastic member covering the entire edge of the through hole provided in the glass plate, the elastic member elastically deforms when the vehicle glass module is opened and closed. That is, the stress acting on the through hole of the glass plate due to the deformation of the mounting member during window opening and closing is relaxed by the elastic member. As a result, the stress acting on the fixing portion (for example, the through hole) of the mounting member where the strength of the glass plate becomes weak is reduced, and cracks or the like do not occur on the inner peripheral surface of the through hole of the glass plate, and the durability can be improved.

[0010] Thus, by adopting this configuration, a vehicle glass module with good manufacturing efficiency and high durability is obtained. In addition, as described above, in the configuration in which multiple mounting members are fixed to the through holes of the glass plate, the fixing portions of the mounting members to the glass plate act as independent fulcrums, and the glass plate, which has a large weight, is likely to rotate when being attached to the vehicle body. Therefore, by providing a rotation prevention mechanism at a location different from the fixing mechanism on the mounting members as in this configuration, rotation of the glass plate is prevented, making it easier to attach the vehicle glass module to the vehicle body.

[0011] Another characteristic configuration is that the mounting member is integrally formed with a first plate-shaped portion that can be attached to the vehicle body, a second plate-shaped portion that is parallel to the second surface of the glass plate and includes a contact surface that contacts the elastic member, and a hinge portion that connects the first plate-shaped portion and the second plate-shaped portion, and the first plate-shaped portion includes a vehicle body-facing surface that is parallel to the contact surface and extends from the hinge portion to the opposite side of the second plate-shaped portion while being spaced apart from the second surface.

[0012] In this configuration, since the second plate-shaped portion of the mounting member includes a contact surface that contacts the elastic member, the mounting member does not come into direct contact with the glass plate when the window is opened or closed, thereby improving the durability of the glass plate. Also, since the first plate-shaped portion includes a surface facing the vehicle body that is parallel to the contact surface and extends from the hinge portion to the opposite side to the second plate-shaped portion while being spaced apart from the second surface, the mounting member can be made thin and compact while ensuring the deformation function of the hinge portion, thereby improving manufacturing efficiency.

[0013] Another characteristic configuration is that the first plate-shaped portion has a bolt including a head fixed to the outer surface opposite the vehicle body-facing surface and a screw portion extending from the vehicle body-facing surface.

[0014] In this configuration, by fixing the bolt to the first plate-shaped portion, installation can be completed simply by inserting the bolt into the hole formed in the vehicle body and screwing the nut into the threaded portion, making it easy to install the vehicle glass module to the vehicle body.

[0015] Another characteristic feature is that the entire mounting member overlaps with the glass plate when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the first surface of the glass plate.

[0016] In this configuration, the mounting member does not protrude from the glass plate, which is aesthetically pleasing. In addition, there is no problem with the edge of the glass plate coming into contact with the mounting member and being damaged when the window is opened.

[0017]

[0018]

[0019] Another characteristic feature is that the rotation prevention mechanism bonds the glass plate to each of the mounting members separately.

[0020] If the rotation prevention mechanism is configured by bonding the glass plate and the mounting member as in this configuration, there is no need to prepare a new fixing member, and manufacturing costs can be reduced.

[0021] Another characteristic feature is that the anti-rotation mechanism is an adhesive containing an epoxy resin.

[0022] By bonding the glass plate and the mounting member with an adhesive containing a high-hardness epoxy resin, as in this configuration, it is possible to increase the strength of the anti-rotation mechanism and there is no risk of the adhesive strength decreasing due to repeated elastic deformation when the window is opened and closed.

[0023] [Figure 1] FIG. 2 is a front view of the vehicle glass module attached to the vehicle body. [Diagram 2] FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line II-II in FIG. [Diagram 3] FIG. [Figure 4] FIG. 4 is a view taken along line IV-IV in FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0024] Hereinafter, one embodiment of the vehicle glass module according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that the embodiment described below is an example for explaining the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to only these embodiments. Therefore, the present invention can be implemented in various forms without departing from the gist of the present invention.

[0025] [Configuration of vehicle glass module] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the vehicle glass module A according to the present embodiment is used for a window that is attached to and opens / closes on the vehicle body 1. The vehicle glass module A includes a glass plate 10 and a plurality (two in the present embodiment) of attachment members 20 that are separately attached to the ends of the glass plate 10 by a fixing mechanism 40 and a rotation prevention mechanism 50. The vehicle glass module A operates an operation member 3 attached to one end of the glass plate 10 (for example, releases the lock of the locking mechanism) and applies a force from the inside of the vehicle toward the outside of the vehicle, and rotates the glass plate 10 with the attachment member 20 attached to the other end of the glass plate 10 as a rotation axis in the outward direction of the vehicle body 1, so that it is configured to be able to open on one side. The glass plate 10 has a first surface 10a located on the outside of the vehicle in a state of being attached to the vehicle body 1 and a second surface 10b parallel to the first surface 10a and located on the inside of the vehicle.

[0026] As shown in FIG. 3, the attachment member 20 is made of a metal such as iron or aluminum, and a vehicle body fixing bolt 24 (an example of a bolt) is attached to a plate-like member 21 formed by bending a plate-shaped material having an oval shape in plan view at two locations near the center along the short side direction of the plate surface by a method such as welding. Hereinafter, among the plate-like members 21 of the attachment member 20, the portion forming the stepped difference is referred to as a hinge portion 28. Further, the plate-like portion extending from the hinge portion 28 and to which the vehicle body fixing bolt 24 is attached is referred to as a first plate-like portion 21a, and the plate-like portion on the side that extends parallel to the first plate-like portion 21a and in the direction opposite to the first plate-like portion 21a with respect to the hinge portion 28 is referred to as a second plate-like portion 21b.

[0027] In the plate-like member 21, the hinge portion 28 connects the first plate-like portion 21a and the second plate-like portion 21b, and a step is formed between the first plate-like portion 21a and the second plate-like portion 21b by the hinge portion 28. Since the plate surfaces on both sides of the first plate-like portion 21a and the plate surfaces on both sides of the second plate-like portion 21b are all parallel to each other, the bending angle θ1 between the first plate-like portion 21a and the hinge portion 28 and the bending angle θ2 between the second plate-like portion 21b and the hinge portion 28 are both obtuse angles with the same angle.

[0028] The plate-like member 21 has a first bolt insertion hole 23, which is a through hole formed in the plate thickness direction at the center of the first plate-like portion 21a (see FIG. 4), and of a vehicle body fixing bolt 24 having a head 24a and a male thread portion (one example of a screw portion) 24b, a male thread portion 24b is inserted into the first bolt insertion hole 23. Since the outer diameter of the head 24a of the vehicle body fixing bolt 24 is larger than the inner diameter of the first bolt insertion hole 23, the head 24a cannot be inserted into the first bolt insertion hole 23 and abuts against the plate surface of the first plate-like portion 21a. The abutting head 24a and an outer surface 29 of the first plate-like portion 21a are joined by a method such as welding, and the vehicle body fixing bolt 24 is fixed to the outer surface 29 of the first plate-like portion 21a of the mounting member 20. The male thread portion 24b extends on the opposite side to the bending direction of the hinge portion 28 relative to the first plate-shaped portion 21a (the vehicle body facing surface 22 side of the first plate-shaped portion 21a). With this configuration, the first plate-shaped portion 21a extends from the hinge portion 28 to the opposite side to the second plate-shaped portion 21b in a state spaced apart from the second surface 10b. Note that both plate surfaces of the first plate-shaped portion 21a and both plate surfaces of the second plate-shaped portion 21b are parallel to each other, so that the vehicle body facing surface 22 of the first plate-shaped portion 21a and a contact surface 25 of the second plate-shaped portion 21b, which will be described later, are parallel to each other.

[0029] A recess 26 having a circular shape in a plan view is formed in the center of the second plate-shaped portion 21b of the plate-shaped member 21 in the same direction as the extension direction of the male threaded portion 24b of the vehicle body fixing bolt 24, i.e., in the same direction as the bending direction of the hinge portion 28 relative to the second plate-shaped portion 21b, and a second bolt insertion hole 27, which is a through hole formed in the plate thickness direction, is formed in the center of the recess 26. A fixing mechanism 40, which will be described later, is attached to the second bolt insertion hole 27.

[0030] The fixing mechanism 40 is used to fix the mounting member 20 to the glass plate 10. As shown in Fig. 4, the fixing mechanism 40 is made up of a retainer 41, a fastening bolt 42, and a bushing 43 (an example of an elastic member).

[0031] The retainer 41 is made of metal and has a head 41a and a cylindrical shaft 41b extending from the center of the head 41a. A female thread 41c is formed in the shaft 41b from the end opposite the head 41a toward the head 41a. The female thread 41c is configured to screw into the male thread 42b of the tightening bolt 42.

[0032] The fastening bolt 42 is made of metal and has a head 42a and an externally threaded portion 42b. The externally threaded portion 42b is formed to screw into the internally threaded portion 41c of the retainer 41, thereby fixing the mounting member 20 to the glass plate 10. The external diameter of the externally threaded portion 42b is slightly smaller than the internal diameter of the second bolt insertion hole 27 of the second plate-shaped portion 21b of the mounting member 20.

[0033] The bushing 43 is made of a material having elasticity such as rubber or elastomer, and has a cylindrical tube portion 43c, and a first flange portion 43a and a second flange portion 43b arranged at both axial ends of the tube portion 43c and extending radially outward from the tube portion 43c. The outer diameter of the tube portion 43c of the bushing 43 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the retainer insertion hole 11, which is a through hole formed in the glass plate 10. The bushing 43 is fitted into the retainer insertion hole 11 so as to sandwich the glass plate 10 between the first flange portion 43a and the second flange portion 43b, so that the retainer insertion hole 11 of the glass plate 10 is not exposed. At this time, the first flange portion 43a abuts against the first surface 10a of the glass plate 10, and the second flange portion 43b abuts against the second surface 10b. Although the bush 43 in this embodiment is a single component, it may be configured such that two components, each consisting of one tubular portion and one flange portion, are used to sandwich the glass plate 10 from the front and back.

[0034] By using the bushing 43, the shaft portion 41b of the retainer 41 does not come into contact with the glass plate 10 (particularly the entire edge of the retainer insertion hole 11). Therefore, even if burrs or the like remain on the shaft portion 41b, they will not come into contact with the glass plate 10 due to vibrations of the car body 1 or the like, causing cracks or the like in the glass plate 10 and resulting in breakage.

[0035] [Method for manufacturing vehicle glass module] Next, a method for manufacturing the vehicle glass module A will be described.

[0036] First, the bushing 43 of the fixing mechanism 40 is attached to the retainer insertion hole 11 formed in the other end of the glass plate 10. Next, the shaft portion 41b is inserted into the space inside the inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical portion 43c of the bushing 43, with the head portion 41a of the retainer 41 facing the first surface 10a of the glass plate 10. Since the shaft portion 41b is longer than the axial length of the cylindrical portion 43c of the bushing 43, the tip of the shaft portion 41b protrudes from the second flange portion 43b.

[0037] Next, in a state where the male threaded portion 42b of the fastening bolt 42 is inserted into the second bolt insertion hole 27 from the side (outside) of the back surface 26b of the bottom portion 26a of the recess 26 formed in the second plate-shaped portion 21b of the mounting member 20, the male threaded portion 42b of the fastening bolt 42 is screwed into the female threaded portion 41c of the retainer 41 from the second surface 10b side of the glass plate 10. At this time, an adhesive 51 as an example of a rotation prevention mechanism 50 is applied in advance to the surface of the head portion 24a of the vehicle body fixing bolt 24. Then, in a state where the adhesive 51 is applied, the fastening bolt 42 is fastened to the retainer 41. Note that the rotation prevention mechanism 50 is provided at a position different from the fixing mechanism 40 in the mounting member 20, and is provided to prevent the glass plate 10 from rotating when the vehicle glass module A is mounted to the vehicle body 1. Therefore, after the vehicle glass module A is mounted to the vehicle body 1, the function of the rotation prevention mechanism 50 to prevent the glass plate 10 from rotating is no longer necessary.

[0038] By tightening the fastening bolt 42, the glass plate 10 and the mounting member 20 are sandwiched between the retainer 41 and the fastening bolt 42. As a result, the first flange portion 43a of the bush 43 is crushed and comes into close contact with the head portion 41a of the retainer 41, and the second flange portion 43b of the bush 43 is crushed and comes into close contact with the contact surface 25 including the portion radially outside the concave portion 26 of the second plate-shaped portion 21b, so that the second plate-shaped portion 21b of the mounting member 20 is fixed to the glass plate 10. At this time, since the adhesive 51 is adhered to the second surface 10b of the glass plate 10, the first plate-shaped portion 21a of the mounting member 20 is also fixed to the glass plate 10. By performing this for each of the plurality of mounting members 20, the vehicle glass module A is completed. At this time, in the vehicle glass module A, the mounting member 20 is arranged with respect to the glass plate 10 such that the entire mounting member 20 and the glass plate 10 overlap in a direction perpendicular to the first surface 10a of the glass plate 10.

[0039] In the vehicle glass module A, since a plurality of mounting members 20 are separately fixed to the other end portion of the glass plate 10 by the fixing mechanism 40, the weight of the mounting member 20 is small, the manufacturing efficiency can be improved, and weight reduction can be achieved. Further, since each mounting member 20 is fixed to the second surface 10b of the glass plate 10, it is excellent in appearance without being conspicuous from the outside of the vehicle.

[0040] In the present embodiment, the bush 43 is configured such that the thickness of the first flange portion 43a is thinner than the thickness of the second flange portion 43b, and in the fastened state of the retainer 41 and the fastening bolt 42, the first flange portion 43a does not protrude from the head portion 41a of the retainer 41, and the outer diameter of the second flange portion 43b is also configured not to protrude greatly from the second plate-shaped portion 21b. Thereby, it is possible to minimize the protruding amounts of the first flange portion 43a protruding from the glass plate 10 toward the outside of the vehicle and the head portion 41a of the retainer 41, and since only the head portion 41a of the retainer 41 can be visually recognized from a direction perpendicular to the first surface 10a of the glass plate 10, the appearance of the vehicle body 1 is not impaired. Further, there is no inconvenience such that the end portion of the glass plate 10 abuts against the mounting member 20 and is damaged when the window is opened on one side.

[0041] It is preferable that the adhesive 51 of the rotation prevention mechanism 50 has a high resistance (shear strength) to the shear force that rotates the glass plate 10 relative to the mounting member 20 around the male thread portion 24b of the vehicle body fixing bolt 24, and has elasticity against the force (tensile force, compressive force) that moves the glass plate 10 toward and away from the mounting member 20. An example of the adhesive 51 having such properties is an epoxy adhesive (an example of an adhesive containing an epoxy resin). If the glass plate 10 and the mounting member 20 are bonded with the epoxy adhesive 51 having high hardness, it is possible to increase the strength of the rotation prevention mechanism 50, and there is no risk of the adhesive strength decreasing due to repeated elastic deformation when the window is opened and closed. Note that other adhesives may be used as long as they have the same properties as the epoxy adhesive 51, or soft adhesives such as urethane resin may be used.

[0042] [Method of mounting vehicle glass module to vehicle body] Next, a method for mounting the vehicle glass module A to the vehicle body 1 will be described.

[0043] As shown in FIG. 4, the male threaded portion 24b of the mounting member 20 of the vehicle glass module A is inserted from the outside of the vehicle body 1 into the glass module mounting hole 2a formed in the pillar 2 of the vehicle body 1 in accordance with the positions of the multiple vehicle body fixing bolts 24 of the vehicle glass module A, and the mounting member 20 is fastened with a nut 4 from the back side of the pillar 2. As a result, the vehicle glass module A is mounted in a state in which the vehicle body facing surface 22 of the mounting member 20 and the pillar 2 of the vehicle body 1 are in close contact with each other. In the vehicle glass module A, the mounting member 20 is fixed to the glass plate 10 at two points, that is, the fixing mechanism 40 and the rotation prevention mechanism 50 provided at a different point from the fixing mechanism 40. Therefore, even when the vehicle glass module A is mounted to the pillar 2, the glass plate 10 does not rotate relative to the mounting member 20 and can be reliably mounted. In particular, in the single-door type vehicle glass module A, the heavy glass plate 10 is likely to rotate around the axis of the vehicle body fixing bolt 24 as a rotation axis, and it is necessary to perform the mounting work while supporting the glass plate 10 from below, which is inefficient. However, by providing the rotation prevention mechanism 50 in this embodiment, rotation of the glass plate 10 is prevented simply by inserting the vehicle body fixing bolt 24 into the glass module mounting hole 2a, making it extremely easy to mount the vehicle glass module A to the vehicle body 1. Thereafter, one end of the glass plate 10 is connected to the inside of the vehicle body 1 with the operating member 3, thereby completing the mounting of the vehicle glass module A to the vehicle body 1.

[0044] In this way, the mounting member 20 has the vehicle body fixing bolt 24 fixed to the first plate-shaped portion 21a, so it is only necessary to insert the vehicle body fixing bolt 24 into the glass module mounting hole 2a formed in the vehicle body 1 and screw the nut 4 into the male threaded portion 24b, making it easy to mount the vehicle glass module A to the vehicle body 1. Also, since the anti-rotation mechanisms 50 are provided separately on each of the multiple mounting members 20 and are configured to bond the glass plate 10 to each mounting member 20, there is no need to prepare a new fixing member, and manufacturing costs can be reduced.

[0045] In the vehicle glass module A thus attached to the vehicle body 1, when a force is applied from inside the vehicle toward the outside of the vehicle by operating the operating member 3 attached to one end of the glass plate 10, the glass plate 10 rotates toward the outside of the vehicle relative to the vehicle body 1, with the hinge portion 28 of the mounting member 20 attached to the other end of the glass plate 10 as a rotation axis. At this time, the bush 43 of the fixing mechanism 40 of the mounting member 20 and the adhesive 51 of the rotation prevention mechanism 50 are elastically deformed. In other words, the stress acting on the retainer insertion hole 11 of the glass plate 10 due to the deformation of the mounting member 20 when the window is opened or closed is alleviated by the bush 43, and the stress acting on the second surface 10b of the glass plate 10 is alleviated by the adhesive 51. As a result, the stress acting on the retainer insertion hole 11 and the second surface 10b, which are the fixing portions of the mounting member 20 and have weaker strength in the glass plate 10, is reduced, and durability can be improved without the occurrence of cracks or the like on the inner surface of the retainer insertion hole 11 or the second surface 10b of the glass plate 10.

[0046] Furthermore, in the vehicle glass module A, the second plate-shaped portion 21b of the mounting member 20 includes the contact surface 25 that comes into contact with the bush 43, so that the mounting member 20 does not come into direct contact with the glass plate 10 when the window is opened or closed, thereby improving the durability of the glass plate 10. Furthermore, the first plate-shaped portion 21a of the mounting member 20 includes the vehicle body-facing surface 22 that is parallel to the contact surface 25 and extends from the hinge portion 28 to the opposite side to the second plate-shaped portion 21b while being spaced apart from the second surface 10b, so that the mounting member 20 can be made thin and compact while ensuring the deformation function of the hinge portion 28, thereby improving manufacturing efficiency.

[0047] Other embodiments (1) In this embodiment, a step is provided between the first plate-shaped portion 21a and the second plate-shaped portion 21b by the hinge portion 28, but this is not limited to the above. As long as the first plate-shaped portion 21a can be spaced apart from the second surface 10b, the first plate-shaped portion 21a, the hinge portion 28, and the second plate-shaped portion 21b may all be formed in the same plane, that is, the plate-shaped member 21 may not be bent. In this case, if the thickness of the second flange portion 43b of the bush 43 is made thicker than in this embodiment, the first plate-shaped portion 21a of the mounting member 20 can be easily spaced apart from the second surface 10b of the glass plate 10.

[0048] (2) In the present embodiment, the first plate-shaped portion 21a extends on the opposite side of the second plate-shaped portion 21b from the hinge portion 28, but this is not limited to the above. As long as the first plate-shaped portion 21a of the mounting member 20 can be spaced apart from the second surface 10b of the glass plate 10, the first plate-shaped portion 21a may extend from the hinge portion 28 on the same side as the second plate-shaped portion 21b. In this case, it is preferable to form the hinge portion 28 in a U-shape or a bellows shape.

[0049] (3) In this embodiment, the vehicle body fixing bolt 24 is fixed to the first plate-shaped portion 21 a to form part of the mounting member 20 . However, the vehicle body fixing bolt 24 may be a separate member from the mounting member 20 .

[0050] (4) In this embodiment, the recess 26 is provided in the second plate-shaped portion 21b. However, the second plate-shaped portion 21b may be configured to be flat without providing the recess 26.

[0051] (5) In the present embodiment, the adhesive 51 is used as the rotation prevention mechanism 50, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, any method can be used as long as it can fix the mounting member 20 and the glass plate 10 without drilling holes in the glass plate 10, such as double-sided tape.

[0052] (6) As described above, the rotation prevention function of the rotation prevention mechanism 50 becomes unnecessary after the vehicle glass module A is attached to the pillar 2 of the vehicle body 1. Therefore, the rotation prevention mechanism 50 may be in any form as long as it can prevent rotation of the glass plate 10 when the vehicle glass module A is attached to the pillar 2 of the vehicle body 1. For example, the vehicle glass module A may be attached to the pillar 2 with the glass plate 10 held by an anti-rotation jig, and the anti-rotation jig may be removed after the attachment of the vehicle glass module A is completed.

[0053] (7) In this embodiment, the mounting member 20 is positioned relative to the glass plate 10 so that the entire mounting member 20 overlaps with the glass plate 10 when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the first surface 10a of the glass plate 10. However, the mounting member 20 may have a shape that allows part of it to be visible from the outside. [Industrial Applicability]
