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 in the material itself such as the attenuation of optical signals due to light reflection and absorption, can 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 defects in the material itself for 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. [[ID=[]24]] A vehicle window assembly is provided. The vehicle window assembly is used for mounting on a vehicle and comprises a vehicle window glass and a detection device. The vehicle window glass has a first surface and a second surface provided facing each other, the first surface facing the interior of the vehicle and the second surface facing the exterior of the vehicle, and the vehicle window glass further has a through-opening that connects the first surface and the second surface. The detection device comprises a light-transmitting plate and at least one sensor, the sensor used to emit and / or receive detection light rays passing through the light-transmitting plate, the detection device is provided within the through-opening, and the end of the detection device away from the light-transmitting plate is rotatably connected to the vehicle, and the detection device has a first position and a second position, and the detection device is rotatable between the first position and the second position. When the detection device is in the first position, the light-transmitting plate is located inside the vehicle. When the detection device is in the second position, the light-transmitting plate is located outside the vehicle, and the sensor in the detection device emits and / or receives detection light rays passing through the light-transmitting plate to perform a detection function.

[0005] The vehicle window assembly in the embodiment of the present invention comprises a vehicle window glass and a detection device. The detection device rotates to reciprocate through a through-opening in the vehicle window glass and to a first position or The device can reach a second position. When the detection device is in the first position, the light-transmitting plate of the detection device is located inside the vehicle. In this case, the sensor in the detection device is in the off state and does not operate. When the detection device is in the second position, the light-transmitting plate of the detection device is located outside the vehicle. In this case, the sensor in the detection device is in the on state and operates to detect the external environment of the vehicle.

[0006] In the vehicle window assembly according to this application, an openable and closable detection device is provided in the vehicle window glass having a through-opening. This detection device is equipped with an independent light-transmitting plate, meaning that the light-transmitting plate and the vehicle window glass are independent of each other, and the light-transmitting plate is not affected by processing defects in the vehicle window glass or defects in the main body. This eliminates the need for higher costs and more complex processing steps to match the vehicle window glass with the more demanding sensor. Furthermore, in conventional sensors, the detection light beam passes through the vehicle window glass at a high angle of 50° to 70°, resulting in a problem of high reflectivity. In this application, by keeping the light-transmitting plate and the sensor always perpendicular or nearly perpendicular, the detection light beam of the sensor passes through the light-transmitting plate at a small incident angle (≤30°) or an incident angle close to 0°, thereby reducing the reflectivity of the light-transmitting plate to the detection light beam and improving the transmittance of the detection light beam passing through the light-transmitting plate. When the detection device detects the external environment of the vehicle, the detection light beam of the sensor can pass directly through the light-transmitting plate without passing through the vehicle window glass to detect the external environment. This avoids interference from the car window glass with the detection light, improving the detection accuracy and work efficiency of the detection device.

[0028] The contents of this application will be further explained below with reference to the drawings.

[0029] As shown in Figures 1 to 4, the vehicle window assembly 1 described in this embodiment is attached to a vehicle 2. The vehicle window assembly 1 comprises a vehicle window glass 100 and a detection device 200. The vehicle window glass 100 has a first surface 110 and a second surface 120 that are facing away from each other, with the first surface 110 facing the inside of the vehicle 2 and the second surface 120 facing the outside of the vehicle 2, and the vehicle window glass 100 further has a through opening 130 that connects the first surface 110 and the second surface 120. The detection device 200 comprises a light-transmitting plate 211 and at least one sensor 212, the sensor 212 used to emit and / or receive detection light rays passing through the light-transmitting plate 211, the detection device 200 is installed within a through-opening 130, and the end of the detection device 200 away from the light-transmitting 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-transmitting plate 211 is located inside the vehicle 2. When the detection device 200 is in the second position, the light-transmitting plate 211 is located outside the vehicle 2, and the sensor 212 in the detection device 200 emits and / or receives detection light rays passing through the light-transmitting plate 211 to perform a detection function.

[0030] The vehicle window assembly 1 in this embodiment comprises a vehicle window glass 100 and a detection device 200. The detection device 200 rotates to reciprocate through the through-opening 130 of the vehicle window glass 100 and passes through to a first position orThe detection device can reach a second position. When the detection device 200 is in the first position, the light-transmitting 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 the off state and does not operate. When the detection device 200 is in the second position, the light-transmitting 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 the on state and operates to detect the external environment of the vehicle 2.

[0031] In the vehicle window assembly 1 according to this application, a detection device 200 that can be opened and closed is provided in the vehicle window glass 100 having a through-opening 130. This detection device 200 is equipped with an independent light-transmitting plate 211, that is, the light-transmitting plate 211 and the vehicle window glass 100 are independent of each other, and the light-transmitting plate 211 is not affected by processing defects or body defects of the vehicle window glass 100. This eliminates the need for higher costs and more complex processing steps to match the vehicle window glass 100 with the more demanding sensor 212. Furthermore, in conventional technology, the sensor 212 has the problem of high reflectivity because the detection light ray passes through the vehicle window glass 100 at a high angle of 50° to 70°. In this application, the light-transmitting plate 211 and the sensor 212 are always kept perpendicular or nearly perpendicular, so that the detection light ray of the sensor 212 passes through the light-transmitting plate 211 at a small incident angle (≤30°) or an incident angle close to 0°, thereby improving the sensor 212 Detective light emitted and / or received by By reducing the reflectivity of the light-transmitting plate 211 and improving the transmittance of the detection light rays passing through the light-transmitting plate 211, when the detection device 200 detects the external environment of the vehicle 2, the detection light rays from the sensor 212 pass directly through the light-transmitting plate 211 without passing through the vehicle window glass 100 to detect the external environment. This avoids interference of the detection light rays by the vehicle window glass 100 and improves the detection accuracy and work efficiency of the detection device 200.

[0032] As can be understood, the car window assembly 1 is mounted on the vehicle 2, with the first surface 110 of the car window glass 100 facing the inside of the vehicle 2 and the second surface 120 facing the outside 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-transmitting 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-transmitting plate 211 can be located outside the vehicle 2, and furthermore, the sensor 212 in the detection device 200 can emit and / or receive detection light rays passing through the light-transmitting plate 211 to the outside.

The inner glass plate has an outer surface and an inner surface that are opposite to each other. The inner surface of the inner glass plate is the first surface 110 of the window glass 100. The intermediate adhesive layer is provided between the inner surface of the outer glass plate and the outer surface of the inner glass plate.

[0034] As the material for the outer and inner glass plates, at least one of high-aluminum glass, borosilicate glass, or soda-lime silicate glass can be used. As the material for the intermediate adhesive layer, at least one of polyvinyl butyral (PVB), ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), or ionic intermediate layer (SGP) can be used. Of course, the intermediate adhesive layer may be a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure, and examples of multi-layer structures include a 2-layer structure, a 3-layer structure, a 4-layer structure, a 5-layer structure, etc. The intermediate adhesive layer may have other functions. For example, by providing at least one colored zone and using it as a shadow zone, interference of sunlight with 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 radiation blocking function can be provided. Or, by having one of the layers 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 an insulating coating. Because the laminated glass is provided with a through-opening 130, the insulating coating does not obstruct the detection light rays from the sensor 212. The insulating coating may be provided on the inner surface of the outer glass plate and / or on the outer surface of the inner glass plate, and the insulating coating comprises at least one metal layer and at least two medium layers, each metal layer provided between two adjacent medium layers. Specifically, the insulating coating can be used to effectively control the temperature inside the vehicle 2 by reflecting infrared rays from outside the vehicle 2, thereby blocking external heat from entering the vehicle. To be understood, in other possible embodiments, the insulating coating may be provided at other locations on the laminated glass, and is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the laminated glass further comprises a first busbar and a second busbar electrically connected to the insulating coating, and the insulating coating provides at least 600 W / m between the first busbar and the second busbar 2It has a heating power density of . The first busbar and the second busbar are electrically connected to the insulating coating, respectively. When the first busbar and the second busbar are energized, the insulating coating generates heat, at least 600 W / m². 2 It can reach a heating power density of [value missing]. This allows the laminated glass to be heated to perform defrosting, defogging, de-icing, and snow removal, ensuring clear visibility for the driver in bad weather.

[0036] In some embodiments, the light-transmitting plate 211 has a transmittance of 85% or more in the wavelength range of 780 nm to 1650 nm. Specifically, the light-transmitting plate 211 may have transmittances of 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, and 99% in the wavelength range of 780 nm to 1650 nm, but is not limited to these. If the sensor 212 is a lidar, the transmittance of the light-transmitting plate 211 in the wavelength range of 780 nm to 1650 nm must be 85% or more to ensure good detection effectiveness of the lidar.

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

[0038] In some embodiments, the light-transmitting plate 211 has a diopter of 75 mdpt or less. Specifically, the diopter of the light-transmitting 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. If the sensor 212 is an AR camera, the diopter of the light-transmitting plate 211 needs to be 70 mdpt or less to ensure good detection effectiveness of the AR camera.

[0039] In some embodiments, the detection device 200 comprises a detection module 210 and a drive mechanism 220, the detection module 210 comprising a light-transmitting plate 211 and at least one sensor 212, the end of the detection module 210 away from the light-transmitting plate 211 being rotatably connected to the vehicle 2, one end of the drive mechanism 220 being rotatably connected to the detection module 210, and the other end of the drive mechanism 220 being rotatably and slidably connected to the vehicle 2, the drive mechanism 220 being used to drive the detection module 210 to switch between a first position and a second position. Selectively, the detection module 210 comprises a light-transmitting plate 211 and at least one sensor 212, the end of the detection module 210 away from the light-transmitting plate 211 being rotatably connected to the vehicle 2. As a result, the light-transmitting plate 211 can rotate and reciprocate through the through-opening 130 to be positioned inside the first surface 110 or outside the second surface 120, so that the sensor 212 can remain hidden and not operate, or can detect the outside of the vehicle. One end of the drive mechanism 220 is rotatably connected to the detection module 210, and the other end of the drive mechanism 220 is rotatably and slidably connected to the vehicle 2, and the drive mechanism 220 is used to drive the position switching of the detection module 210 between the first and second positions. The drive mechanism 220 is rotatably connected to the detection module 210 at one end and rotatably and slidably connected to the vehicle 2 at the other end. By controlling the movement of the end of the drive mechanism 220 connected to the vehicle 2, the position of the detection module 210 can be controlled, thereby controlling the detection module 210 to be positioned in the first or second position, and thus completing the opening and closing of the vehicle window assembly 1.

[0040] In some embodiments, the drive mechanism 220 comprises a track member 222 and a support member 221, the track member 222 being attached to the vehicle 2 and having a first end 222a and a second end 222b facing each other, the first end 222a being further from the detection module 210 than the second end 222b, one end of the support member 221 being rotatably connected to the detection module 210, and the other end of the support member 221 being rotatably connected to the track member 222 and slidable between the first end 222a and the second end 222b. When the support member 221 is closer to the first end 222a, the detection module 210 is in a first position, and when the support member 221 is closer to the second end 222b, the detection module 210 is in a second position. Selectively, the drive mechanism 220 of the present invention drives the detection module 210 to change position between a first position and a second position by driving the movement of a support member 221 connected to a track member 222. Specifically, the support member 221 is rotatably connected to one end of the track member 222 and 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, the rotation of the detection module 210 can be driven by rotatably connecting the support member 221 to one end of the detection module 210, thereby allowing the detection module 210 to be positioned in either the first or 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 a first position to a second position, the support member 221 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 detection module 210 toward a direction away from the window glass 100, so that the light-transmitting plate 211 is positioned outside the second surface 120 of the window glass 100. When the detection module 210 is switched from a second position to a first position, the support member 221 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 propels the detection module 210 toward a direction closer to the window glass 100. Drive As a result, the light-transmitting plate 211 is positioned inside the first surface 110 of the car window glass 100.

[0042] The support member 221 is optionally rod-shaped.

[0043] Selectively, 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 a first position to a second position by rotation, the end of the support member 221 connected to the track member 222 slides from the first end 222a to the second end 222b of the track member 222. In this process, the detection module 210 rotates away from the car window glass 100, and the light-transmitting plate 211 is moved outside the second surface 120 by passing through the through-opening 130. 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 to the first end 222a of the track member 222. In this process, the detection module 210 rotates toward the car window glass 100, and the light-transmitting plate 211 is moved inward of the first surface 110 by passing through the through-opening 130.

[0044] In some embodiments, the drive mechanism 220 further comprises a slide block 223, which is connected to a track member 222 and is slidable between a first end 222a and a second end 222b, and the support member 221 is rotatably connected to the slide block 223. It is rotatably connected to the track member 222 via the slide block 223, The slide block 223 is slidable between the first end 222a and the second end 222b. Selectively, the slide block 223 is connected to the track member 222 and is slidable between the first end 222a and the second end 222b, and the end of the support member 221 closer to the track member 222 is rotatably connected to the slide block 223, in other words, the end of the support member 221 closer 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 advantageous for controlling the movement of the sensing module 210.

[0045] In some embodiments, the drive mechanism 220 further comprises a drive motor 224. The drive motor 224 is connected to the slide block 223 and drives the slide block 223 to slide between a first end 222a and a second end 222b. Selectively, the drive motor 224 is used to provide kinetic energy to the slide block 223, and because the drive motor 224 is connected to the slide block 223, a driving force is applied to the slide block 223, which in turn transmits the force to the support 221 via the slide block 223, and thereby applies the force to the sensing module 210, thereby switching the position of the sensing module 210 between a first position and a second position.

[0046] In some embodiments, the drive mechanism 220 further comprises a threaded rod, which is mounted on the power output shaft of a drive motor 224. A slide block 223 is fitted onto the threaded rod. The extending direction of the threaded rod is parallel to the extending direction of the track member 222. At least a portion of the slide block 223 is engaged within the track member 222. The threaded rod rotates, driven by the power output shaft of the drive motor 224. The outer wall of the threaded rod is provided with threads, and the portion of the slide block 223 that contacts the threaded rod is provided with matching threads. As the threaded rod rotates, the slide block 223 is restricted in position by the track member 222, so that the rotation of the threaded rod can move the slide block 223 along the threaded rod, and thus 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 drive mechanisms 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 comprises a cover plate 230 and a bottom plate 240, the cover plate 230 being connected to a light-transmitting plate 211, one end of the bottom plate 240 being connected to an end of the light-transmitting plate 211 away from the cover plate 230, and the other end of the bottom plate 240 being connected to an end of the cover plate 230 away from the light-transmitting plate 211, the cover plate 230, the light-transmitting plate 211 and the bottom plate 240 together forming a housing space, the sensor 212 being housed in the housing space, and the sensor 212 facing the light-transmitting plate 211 Having a sensing end 212a, the base plate 240 includes a first base plate 241 and a second base plate 242 connected in a bent manner, the end of the first base plate 241 away from the second base plate 242 connected to a light-transmitting plate 211, the end of the second base plate 242 away from the first base plate 241 connected to a cover plate 230, the end of the second base plate 242 away from the first base plate 241 rotatably connected to the vehicle 2, and one end of the second base plate 242 closer to the first base plate 241 rotatably connected to one end of a support member 221 away from the track member 222. Optionally, the cover plate 230, the light-transmitting plate 211 and the base plate 240 together form a housing space, the sensor 212 is housed in the housing space, and the housing 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 sensing end 212a of the sensor 212 faces the light-transmitting plate 211. The sensor 212 is used to detect the external environment and obtain accurate data such as position and distance.

[0050] There are at least two sensors 212 that can be selected.

[0051] Selectively, sensor 212 is at least one of the following: visible light camera, infrared camera, thermal imaging camera, AR camera, millimeter-wave radar, or lidar.

[0052] In some embodiments, when the detection module 210 is in a first position, the end of the light-transmitting plate 211 closest to the cover plate 230 abuts against the window glass 100. When the detection module 210 is in a second position, the end of the light-transmitting plate 211 furthest from the cover plate 230 abuts against the 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-transmitting plate 211 closest to the cover plate 230 abuts against the window glass 100, thereby sealing the interior environment and providing waterproofing, windproofing, and noise reduction. When the detection module 210 is in the second position, the end of the light-transmitting plate 211 furthest from the cover plate 230 abuts against the window glass 100, thereby sealing the interior environment. When the vehicle 2 is moving, wind and rain are prevented from entering the interior of the vehicle 2 through the gap between the end of the light-transmitting plate 211 furthest from the cover plate 230 and the window glass 100.

[0053] In some embodiments, when the detection module 210 is switched from a first position to a 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 toward the window glass 100, so that the light-transmitting plate 211 is positioned outside the second surface 120 of the window glass 100. When the detection module 210 is switched from a second position to a 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 the second bottom plate 242 toward the window glass 100, so that the light-transmitting plate 211 is positioned inside the first surface 110 of the window glass 100.

[0054] Selectively, the two ends of the support member 221 are rotatably connected to the base 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 a first position to a second position by rotation, the end of the support member 221 connected to the track member 222 slides from the first end 222a to the second end 222b of the track member 222. In this process, in conjunction with the support member 221, the end of the support member 221 connected to the base plate 240 slides against the window glass 100. Close to As the detection module 210 moves in a direction and is rotatably connected to the vehicle 2, the detection module 210 rotates away from the window glass 100, passing through the through-opening 130 to reach 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 to the first end 222a of the track member 222. In this process, in conjunction with the support member 221, the end of the support member 221 connected to the bottom plate 240 slides away from the window glass 100. Move away As the detection module 210 moves in a direction and is rotatably connected to the vehicle 2, the detection module 210 rotates toward the direction closer to the car 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, thereby avoiding the problem of the sensor 212 and / or the light-transmitting plate 211 being moved directly and becoming unstable in position.

[0055] In some embodiments, when the detection device 200 is in the second position, the angle α between the window glass 100 and the light-transmitting plate 211 is 60° to 150°. Selectively, the angle α between the window glass 100 and the light-transmitting plate 211 may be, but is not limited to, 60°, 65°, 70°, 75°, 80°, 85°, 90°, 95°, 100°, 105°, 110°, 115°, 120°, 125°, 130°, 135°, 145°, or 150°. If the angle α between the light-transmitting plate 211 and the window glass 100 is less than 60° or greater than 150°, it is difficult to transmit the detection light rays of the sensor 212 through the light-transmitting plate 211 at a small incident angle (≤30°) or close to 0° in order for the sensor 212 to 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 window glass 100 and the light-transmitting plate 211 is 90° to 120°. After the window glass 100 is mounted on the vehicle 2 as a windshield, considering the mounting angle of the inclined windshield, if the angle α between the window glass 100 and the light-transmitting plate 211 is 90° to 120°, the assembly of the sensor 212 and the light-transmitting plate 211 can be improved so that the detection light rays of the sensor 212 can pass through the light-transmitting 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 a first position, the cover plate 230 is parallel to the car window glass 100, and when the detection module 210 is in a second position, the angle β between the cover plate 230 and the car window glass 100 is 20° to 45°.

[0058] Selectively, when the vehicle 2 is stationary or in motion and does not require detection by the detection device 200, the detection module 210 is in a first position, the cover plate 230 is parallel to the window glass 100, and the cover plate 230 abuts against the window glass 100. In this case, the cover plate 230 seals the window glass 100 by covering the through opening 130, thereby protecting 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 nearly flush with the second surface 120 of the window glass 100, thereby ensuring a unified 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] If detection by the detection device 200 is required while the vehicle 2 is stationary or in motion, the detection device 200 is in a second position, and the angle β between the cover plate 230 and the window glass 100 may be, but is not limited to, 20°, 22°, 24°, 26°, 28°, 30°, 32°, 34°, 36°, 38°, 40°, 42°, 44°, or 45°. If the angle β between the cover plate 230 and the window glass 100 is less than 20°, the vertical length of the light-transmitting plate 211 is too small, resulting in a narrow detection field of view for the sensor 212, which affects the detection effect. If the angle β between the cover plate 230 and the window glass 100 is greater than 45°, the vertical length of the light-transmitting plate 211 is too large, resulting in significant wind resistance and wind noise when the vehicle 2 is in motion after the window assembly 1 is mounted on the vehicle 2.

[0060] In some embodiments, when the detection device 200 is in a second position, the angle θ between the light-transmitting plate 211 and the detection ray emitted and / or received by the sensor 212 is 60° to 120°. This allows the detection ray from the sensor 212 to pass through the light-transmitting plate 211 at a small incident angle of 30° or less. Selectively, the angle θ between the light-transmitting plate 211 and the detection ray from the sensor 212 may be, but is not limited to, 60°, 65°, 70°, 75°, 80°, 85°, 90°, 95°, 100°, 105°, 110°, 115°, or 120°. If the angle θ between the light-transmitting plate 211 and the detection ray of the sensor 212 is less than 60° or greater than 120°, according to Fresnel's law, the detection ray emitted and / or received by the sensor 212 will be severely reflected at the surface of the light-transmitting plate 211. As a result, the detection ray will be severely attenuated as it passes through the light-transmitting plate 211, thereby reducing the detection accuracy and detection distance of the sensor 212. In other words, if the angle θ between the light-transmitting plate 211 and the detection ray of the sensor 212 is in the range of 90° ± 30°, the detection ray of the sensor 212 can pass through the light-transmitting plate 211 at a small incident angle of 30° or less. The closer the angle θ is to 90°, the less the detection ray of the sensor 212 is attenuated, and the higher the detection accuracy of the sensor 212. After the car window assembly 1 is installed in the vehicle 2, the angle between the detection ray of the sensor 212 and the horizontal plane is 0° to 5°. Specifically, the angle between the detection ray of the sensor 212 and the horizontal plane may be, but is not limited to, 0°, 1°, 2°, 3°, 4°, or 5°. In this application, the sensor 212 usually has multiple detection rays, and the measurement of the angle associated with the detection rays is performed based on the central ray.

[0061] In some embodiments, when the detection device 200 is in the second position, the angle θ between the light-transmitting plate 211 and the detection light emitted and / or received by the sensor 212 is 70° to 110°, so that the detection light from the sensor 212 can pass through the light-transmitting 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 light-transmitting plate 211 and the detection light emitted and / or received by the sensor 212 is 80° to 100°, so that the detection light from the sensor 212 can pass through the light-transmitting plate 211 at a small incident angle of 10° or less.

Optionally, the cover plate 230 has an area larger than the through-opening 130 so as to cover the through-opening 130. The first projection 231 allows the cover plate 230 to cover the gap between the light-transmitting plate 211 and the vehicle window glass 100.

When the detection device 200 is in a first position, the light-transmitting plate 211 is located inside the vehicle 2, and when the detection device 200 is in a second position, the light-transmitting plate 211 is located outside the vehicle 2, and the sensor 212 in the detection device 200 emits and / or receives detection light rays passing through the light-transmitting plate 211 to perform the detection function.
