Abstract
Description
[0001] Flush, integrated guide rail cover plate construction for
[0002] Vehicle windows and processing methods
[0003] Technical area
[0004] The present invention relates to the technical field of vehicle window parts, particularly to a flush, integrated guide rail cover plate structure for vehicle windows and a machining method.
[0005] State of the art
[0006] The flush construction of vehicle windows typically refers to a seamless connection between the vehicle window pane and the vehicle door or body structure, forming a flat surface. By providing a seamless connection between the vehicle window pane and the vehicle door or body structure, the flush construction of vehicle windows typically creates a flat surface, achieving a more streamlined exterior appearance and a better sealing effect.
[0007] Currently, there are three main types of flush constructions available on the market:
[0008] 1. Structure with fitting of guide rail, sealing strip, decorative plate and glass guide slider, wherein the flush structure includes numerous individual parts and after assembly, the overall structure formed by multiple components has relatively long dimensions, and machining for fitting is required between the respective components, which easily leads to error deviations in the fitting and further leads to the degree of precision of the fitting between the respective components of the structure being poor.
[0009] 2. Designed with a fitting of the decorative plate, weather strip guide rail, and guide slider, the weather strip guide rail is formed in combination during machining, requiring a tight fit between the weather strip and the guide rail. The fact that the guide rail is usually made of aluminum, while the weather strip is made of plastic, makes it very difficult to manufacture the weather strip guide rail simultaneously. The aluminum guide rail is easily deformed during the fitting process with the weather strip, which easily leads to poor fit between the final weather strip guide rail, the decorative plate, and the vehicle window glass.
[0010] 3. Designed with a fitting of the decorative plate guide rail, weather strip, and window slider, the manufacturing of the decorative plate with the aluminum guide rail is very difficult. The aluminum guide rail becomes too heavy during molding with the decorative plate and is subject to deformation under the influence of high temperatures. This easily leads to errors in the fitting of the weather strip during the manufacturing of the decorative plate guide rail, which in turn easily leads to annoying noise during the up and down movement of the vehicle window. The manufacturing cost of the decorative guide rail is high, and there are technological limitations in this regard.
[0011] Other flush assemblies available on the market typically include components such as outer cover plate, guide rail, sealing strip, decorative plate, window guide slider, etc., with the respective individual parts of the flush assembly typically being obtained during production by separately manufacturing and machining the respective assemblies.If there are certain errors in the assembly positions at the joints between the outer cover plate, guide rail, decorative plate, and glass guide slider, overlap will occur, increasing the overall error of the flush design. This ultimately makes it difficult to maintain a high-precision flush state between the vehicle window glass and the outer cover plate. This in turn easily leads to insufficient smoothness of the fit between the glass guide slider and the guide rail. During the up-and-down movement of the vehicle window glass, the vehicle window glass is easily inhibited, which easily leads to uneven contact and uneven friction of the glass guide slider against the inner wall of the guide rail, with relatively high friction in some areas.This results in the window guide sliding piece experiencing relatively severe wear in some areas, which in turn results in the sliding movement of the vehicle window pane not being sufficiently smooth and the degree of precision of the fit being low.
[0012] Subject of the invention
[0013] In view of the deficiencies existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a flush, integrated guide rail cover plate construction for vehicle windows and a machining method to enable precise arrangement of the components and increase strength.
[0014] To achieve the above-mentioned objective, the present invention provides the following basic concept: A flush, integrated guide rail cover plate construction for vehicle windows, comprising an outer cover plate, a vehicle window glass, a window frame sheet and a guide slider, wherein one end of the above-mentioned guide slider is fixedly connected to one side of the vehicle window glass, while the other end of the guide slider is slidably mounted on a guide rail part, the other side of the vehicle window glass being flush with the edge of the outer cover plate near the edge of the outer cover plate.The invention further comprises: an inner guide rail cover plate provided as a whole, wherein the aforementioned inner guide rail cover plate is detachably connected to the window frame sheet, and a weather strip, wherein a sealing lip is fixedly provided on the side of the weather strip near the vehicle window pane, which sealing lip abuts against the edge and / or an edge of the vehicle window pane. In view of the deficiencies existing in the prior art, the present invention, in an advantageous development, provides a flush, integrated guide rail cover plate structure for vehicle windows and a machining method to solve the problem that, in the flush structure according to the prior art, although the basic requirements for the overall precision degree can be met, the overall precision degree and stability hardly meet the requirements for hyperfineness.
[0015] To achieve the above-mentioned objective, the present invention advantageously provides the following basic concept: A flush, integrated guide rail cover plate construction for vehicle windows, comprising an outer cover plate, a vehicle window pane, a window frame sheet, and a guide slider fixedly connected to the surface of the vehicle window pane, wherein the edge of the other side of the vehicle window pane near the outer plate is flush with the edge of the outer side of the outer plate remote from the inner plate, further comprising: an integrated inner guide rail cover plate, wherein the inner guide rail cover plate comprises a first connecting end fixedly connected to the outer cover plate, a second connecting end detachably connected to the window frame sheet, and a guide rail part located between the first connecting end and the second connecting end,wherein the guide slider can slide along the guide rail part, a sealing strip, wherein a mounting cavity for mounting the sealing strip is provided between the guide rail part or the first connecting end and the outer cover plate, wherein a sealing lip is fixedly provided on the side of the sealing strip close to the vehicle window pane, which sealing lip abuts against the edge and / or the edge of the vehicle window pane.
[0016] The technical principle of the present advantageous invention is as follows: The first connecting end, the second connecting end, and the guide rail part are formed as a whole, which enables precise control of the position and structure of the guide rail part, and the guide slider precisely fits the guide rail part on the inner guide rail cover plate, so that the up and down movement of the vehicle window glass is more unhindered, which reduces the likelihood of jamming when raising and lowering the vehicle window glass.
[0017] At the same time, the firm assembly of the first connecting end and the guide rail part with the outer cover plate ensures the precision of the position of the mounting cavity formed between the guide rail part and the outer cover plate. This allows the sealing strip to be precisely clamped between the guide rail part and the outer cover plate during installation. The sealing lip can be firmly in contact with the edge of the vehicle window pane. This improves the tightness between the outer cover plate and the vehicle window pane, as well as the low noise level. It also increases the precision of the flush fit between the outer cover plate and the vehicle window pane, significantly increasing the precision of the flush, integrated guide rail cover plate construction for vehicle windows.so that the high-precision fit between the outer cover plate and the vehicle window glass is more easily realized.
[0018] Furthermore, the longitudinal section profile of the guide rail part can have a ring shape, wherein a feed-through groove serving to enclose the guide slider is provided on the side of the guide rail part near the guide slider.
[0019] With the above-mentioned design, the ring-shaped guide rail part can perform more comprehensive position restriction of the guide slider, which makes the sliding up and down movement of the guide slider precise and reduces the probability of occurrence of radial movement deviations on the guide rail part, so that the wear on the side wall of the guide slider is uniform and also movement deviations of the vehicle window glass are made difficult.
[0020] Furthermore, the inner wall of the guide rail part can be covered with guide rail sliding material, with the end of the guide slider remote from the vehicle window pane abutting against the guide rail sliding material. By providing the guide rail sliding material, direct contact between the guide slider and the inner wall of the guide rail part can be avoided, which effectively reduces the frictional force experienced by the guide slider and reduces the extent of wear on the guide slider.
[0021] Furthermore, the surface of the first connecting end may abut and be firmly connected to the side of the outer cover plate near the inner guide rail cover plate, while an indentation groove with an indentation toward the side remote from the vehicle window glass is provided on the second connecting end, the indentation groove of the second connecting end being detachably connected to the window frame plate.
[0022] With the above-mentioned design, the connection position of the window frame sheet and the second connection end can be defined at the indentation groove, which also makes the assembly connection between the window frame sheet and the second connection end more precise.
[0023] Furthermore, a plurality of elastic openings may be provided at the end of the guide slide with the guide rail part located there, wherein the axis lines of the elastic openings all run vertically to the direction of raising and lowering of the vehicle window pane.
[0024] The above-mentioned conception ensures that, when the vehicle window pane carries the guide slider for upward and downward movement on the guide rail part, the lateral wall of the guide slider rests against the guide rail sliding material, whereby the automatic contraction of the elastic openings of the guide slider can now take place, so that the upward and downward movement of the vehicle window pane takes place effortlessly.After the movement is completed, the elastic openings of the guide slider automatically expand, and the lower left end of the guide slider automatically abuts the guide rail, which reduces the probability of jamming when the vehicle window is raised and lowered, and makes the vehicle window more unhindered. There is a larger tolerance between the guide slider and the guide rail part during assembly, as well as the requirements for the precision degree of manufacturing and machining of the guide slider and the guide rail part have a larger tolerance.
[0025] Furthermore, a protruding edge with possible abutment against the inner guide rail cover plate can be provided on the upper side of the sealing strip, wherein a bulge is formed as a whole on the side of the inner guide rail cover plate near the sealing strip, wherein a mounting groove serving to border the bulge is provided on the upper side of the sealing strip.
[0026] Due to the above-mentioned design, the protruding edge can ensure the stable fit of the sealing strip between the guide rail part and the outer cover plate during the installation of the sealing strip, whereby the fit between the installation groove and the bulge can prevent the sealing strip from leaving the position between the guide rail part and the outer cover plate, as well as a position restriction of the sealing lip takes place, which improves the degree of precision of the fit between the sealing lip and the vehicle window glass.
[0027] The present invention also provides a method of manufacturing a flush, integrated guide rail cover plate structure for vehicle windows, comprising a flush, integrated guide rail cover plate structure for vehicle windows, further comprising the step of simultaneously molding the outer cover plate, the inner guide rail cover plate, and the guide rail sliding material by injection molding.
[0028] In the above-mentioned concept, the outer cover plate, the inner guide rail cover plate and the guide rail sliding material are molded as a whole, so that the outer cover plate, the inner guide rail cover plate and the guide rail sliding material are formed simultaneously with an optimal accuracy, which, while increasing the degree of precision, also reduces the assembly steps required for the connection of the outer cover plate, the inner guide rail cover plate and the guide rail sliding material.The outer cover plate, inner guide rail cover plate and guide rail sliding material formed as a whole can increase the tightness between the outer cover plate and the vehicle window glass and the low noise, as well as increase the precision degree of molding of the single flush integrated guide rail cover plate structure for vehicle windows and the assembly efficiency, which can meet the requirements of high-precision manufacturing.
[0029] The present invention also provides a method of machining a flush, integrated guide rail cover plate construction for vehicle windows, comprising a flush, integrated guide rail cover plate construction for vehicle windows, further comprising the steps of:
[0030] Forming the outer cover plate by injection molding,
[0031] Simultaneous molding of the inner guide rail cover plate and the guide rail sliding material by injection molding,
[0032] Joining by gluing or welding at the point of fixed connection of the first connecting end of the inner guide rail cover plate and the outer cover plate.
[0033] In this design, the inner guide rail cover plate and the guide rail sliding material are molded as a single unit, increasing the precision of the fit between the guide slider and the guide rail part and the guide rail sliding material, making the up-and-down movement of the vehicle window glass more unobstructed and providing a more precise fit. At the same time, the application of bonding or welding to the inner guide rail cover plate and the outer cover plate reduces the technological difficulty of forming the inner guide rail cover plate and the outer cover plate as a single unit, while also increasing the processing efficiency and precision of forming the single flush, integrated guide rail cover plate structure for vehicle windows compared to traditional separate molding.The present invention also provides a method of machining a flush, integrated guide rail cover plate construction for vehicle windows, comprising a flush, integrated guide rail cover plate construction for vehicle windows, further comprising the steps of:.
[0034] Simultaneous molding of the outer cover plate and the inner guide rail cover plate by injection molding, or individual molding of the outer cover plate and the inner guide rail cover plate by injection molding,
[0035] Forming the guide rail sliding material by injection molding or pressing,
[0036] Joining by gluing or welding at the location of the fixed connection of the first connecting end of the inner guide rail cover plate and the outer cover plate, wherein the guide rail sliding material is fixed within the guide rail part.
[0037] With the above-mentioned design, the guide rail part is formed as a whole on the inner guide rail cover plate, which can increase the degree of precision of the fit between the guide slider and the guide rail part and the guide rail sliding material, while at the same time reducing the difficulty of simultaneously forming the guide slider and the inner guide rail cover plate, which can increase the efficiency of forming the inner guide rail cover plate.
[0038] The present invention also provides a method of machining a flush, integrated guide rail cover plate construction for vehicle windows, comprising a flush, integrated guide rail cover plate construction for vehicle windows, further comprising the steps of:
[0039] Forming the outer cover plate by injection molding,
[0040] Molding the inner guide rail cover plate by injection molding, wherein the molding of the guide rail sliding material is carried out by injection molding on the inner guide rail cover plate with the inner guide rail cover plate as an enclosed part, or molding the guide rail sliding material by injection molding, wherein the molding of the inner guide rail cover plate is carried out by injection molding on the guide rail sliding material with the guide rail sliding material as an enclosed part.
[0041] With this design, the guide rail sliding material is molded by injection molding on the inner guide rail cover plate with the guide rail cover plate as the enclosed part, so that the guide rail sliding material is precisely positioned between the inner guide rail cover plate and the guide rail part. The fact that the inner guide rail cover plate is molded by injection molding on the guide rail sliding material with the guide rail sliding material as the enclosed part also enables the guide rail sliding material to be precisely positioned within the guide rail part of the inner guide rail cover plate, thus increasing the degree of precision and efficiency of molding the guide rail part and the inner guide rail cover plate.
[0042] In view of the deficiencies existing in the prior art, the present invention, in a further advantageous embodiment, provides a flush, integrated guide rail cover plate structure for vehicle windows to solve the problem that there is an insufficient degree of precision of fitting between the decoration plate guide rail, the weather strip and the guide slider, which leads to a tendency to generate annoying noise during the sliding up and down movement of the vehicle window glass or that there is insufficient flushness between the vehicle window glass and the outer cover plate of the vehicle door.
[0043] To achieve the above-mentioned objective, the present invention advantageously provides the following basic concept: A flush, integrated guide rail cover plate construction for vehicle windows, comprising an outer cover plate, an inner guide rail cover plate, a window frame sheet, and a vehicle window pane, wherein the inner guide rail cover plate is detachably connected to the window frame sheet, further comprising: a guide rail part formed as a whole on the inner guide rail cover plate, wherein the guide rail part is located at the central part of the inner guide rail cover plate, a guide slide, wherein one end of the guide slide is fixedly connected to one side of the vehicle window pane, while the other end of the guide slide is slidably mounted on the guide rail part,wherein the other side of the vehicle window pane near the edge of the outer cover plate is flush with the edge of the outer cover plate remote from the side of the inner guide rail cover plate, a sealing strip, wherein a bulge is provided on the edge of the outer cover plate near the side of the guide rail part opposite the guide rail part, wherein a mounting cavity is formed between the bulge and the outer cover plate for enclosing one end of the sealing strip, wherein a sealing lip is fixedly provided on the side of the sealing strip near the vehicle window pane, which sealing lip abuts against the edge and / or the edge of the vehicle window pane, wherein the end of the inner guide rail cover plate near the outer cover plate is fixedly connected to the side wall of the outer cover plate.
[0044] The technical principle is as follows: The guide rail part is integrally formed on the inner guide rail cover plate, which increases the precision of the fit between the guide rail part and the inner guide rail cover plate, as well as the precision of the fit when assembling the guide slider to the guide rail part. At the same time, the sealing strip is precisely mounted on the outer cover plate through the bulge. Because the bulge is more precisely mounted on the outer cover plate, the positioning precision of the sealing strip and sealing lip can also be increased, which can improve the precision of the sealing of the vehicle window glass and the low noise of the entire flush, integrated guide rail cover plate structure.The advantages are a low degree of difficulty in integrating the guide rail part and the inner guide rail cover plate, a high degree of precision in the overall design and low manufacturing costs.
[0045] Furthermore, the longitudinal section profile of the guide rail part can have a "U" shape, with the opening of the upper side of the guide rail part being opposite the bulge and the sealing strip.
[0046] With this design, the U-shaped guide rail part can be more easily formed as a single unit onto the inner guide rail cover plate, reducing the complexity of development and machining, as well as reducing machining costs. At the same time, the opening on the upper side of the guide rail part can be aligned with the recess, restricting the position of the sliding movement of the guide slider, ensuring that the guide slider is precisely positioned within the guide rail part.
[0047] Furthermore, the longitudinal section profile of the sealing strip surrounding the outer wall of the recess may have a "U" shape, with the side of the sealing strip near the outer cover plate being opposite the guide rail part.
[0048] With this design, the U-shaped sealing strip can be mounted more securely on the recess, improving the seal between the vehicle window and the outer cover plate. At the same time, this positively affects the fit of the sealing strip with the guide rail part, with the seal between the guide rail part and the guide slider making the sliding movement of the vehicle window pane smoother and quieter.
[0049] Furthermore, the end surface of the sealing strip near the side of the vehicle window glass may be flush with the end surface of the edge of the outer cover plate.
[0050] With the above-mentioned concept, the end surface of the edge of the outer cover plate can be referred to during the installation of the sealing strip, which makes the installation of the sealing strip more precise and has a positive effect on the precise fit of the sealing lip on the sealing strip to the edge of the vehicle window glass, thereby reducing the error deviations during installation between the respective components.
[0051] Furthermore, the indentation of the side of the inner guide rail cover plate remote from the outer cover plate may rest against the surface of the window frame sheet, wherein the indentation of the inner guide rail cover plate is detachably connected to the window frame sheet.
[0052] With the above-mentioned concept, the position of the connection between the inner guide rail cover plate and the window frame sheet can be defined at the indentation, so that the assembly and connection between the window frame sheet and the inner guide rail cover plate can be made more precise.
[0053] Furthermore, the end of the bulge near the outer cover plate may have a curved shape, wherein the outer side wall with the curved shape of the bulge abuts the end of the inner guide rail cover plate near the outer cover plate.
[0054] With the above-mentioned design, there is a more precise fit of the inner guide rail cover plate to the bulge and the outer cover plate, while at the same time the position of the bulge and the guide rail part is more precise, which further increases the degree of precision of the assembly positions between the respective components.
[0055] Furthermore, the end of the guide slider can rest on the side wall of the sealing strip within the guide rail part.
[0056] The above-mentioned design prevents a relatively high frictional force from occurring directly between the guide slide and the bulge, which reduces wear on the guide slide and makes the up and down movement of the vehicle window pane quieter.

[0063] Concrete exemplary embodiments
[0064] The technical concept of the present invention is further described below with reference to the attached figures and exemplary embodiments.
[0065] Exemplary embodiment 1
[0066] The present exemplary embodiments are basically as shown in Figures 1 and 2.

A glass adhesive firmly bonds the upper right end of the guide slider 50 to the lower side surface of the vehicle window pane 20. As shown in Figure 2, the edge of the outer wall of the left side of the vehicle window pane 20 is flush with the edge of the outer right side of the outer cover plate 10.
[0067] As shown in Figure 2, the inner guide rail cover plate 500 comprises a first connecting end 501 fixedly connected to the outer cover plate 10, a second connecting end 502 detachably connected to the window frame sheet 30, and a guide rail part 503 located between the first connecting end 501 and the second connecting end 502, wherein the guide slider 50 can slide along the guide rail part 503. The longitudinal sectional profile of the guide rail part 503 has a ring shape, wherein a feed-through groove serving to border the guide slider 50 is provided on the side of the guide rail part 503 near the guide slider 50. The inner wall of the guide rail part 503 is covered with the guide rail sliding material 513, wherein the left lower end of the guide slider 50 abuts against the guide rail sliding material 513 after passing through the passage groove.
[0068] As shown in Figure 2, the first connecting end 501 is provided horizontally. A mounting cavity 70 for mounting the weather strip 700 is provided between the first connecting end 501 and the left side of the guide rail part 503 and the outer cover plate 10. A sealing lip 701 formed as a whole is provided on the right side of the weather strip 700 and abuts the edge of the lower left side of the vehicle window pane 20.
[0069] At the same time, as shown in Figure 2, the surface of the first connecting end 501 rests against the lower side of the outer cover plate 10, whereby the firm connection is established by gluing or welding. At the second connecting end 502, a recessed groove 512 is provided with a recess toward the side remote from the vehicle window pane 20, wherein the recessed groove 512 of the second connecting end 502 is detachably connected to the window frame sheet 30 by screw bolts 522.
[0070] As shown in Figure 2, a plurality of elastic openings 505 are provided at the end of the guide slide 50 having the guide rail part 503 located there, wherein the axis lines of the elastic openings 505 all run vertically to the direction of raising and lowering of the vehicle window pane 20.
[0071] As shown in Figure 2, a protruding edge 702 with possible abutment against the inner guide rail cover plate 500 is provided on the upper side of the sealing strip 700, a bulge 101 is formed as a whole on the side of the inner guide rail cover plate 500 near the sealing strip 700, a mounting groove 704 serving to surround the bulge 101 is provided on the upper side of the sealing strip 700, and the protruding edge 702 is located on the left side of the mounting groove 704.
[0072] In addition, the right upper side of the through groove of the guide rail part 503, the right end of the sealing strip 700 and the left side of the outer cover plate 10 are on the same vertical plane, and a window frame decoration plate 40 is further included, the window frame decoration plate 40 being located on the right lower side of the inner guide rail cover plate 500 and connected to the window frame sheet 30 by welding.
[0073] When using the flush, integrated guide rail cover plate structure for vehicle windows according to the present exemplary embodiment, the integrally provided inner guide rail cover plate 500 can increase the degree of precision of the guide rail and cover plate arrangement of the conventional flush structure, resulting in a higher degree of precision of the fit between the guide rail part 503 and the guide slide 50. When the vehicle window 20 carries the guide slide 50 for up-and-down movement along the guide rail part 503, the side wall of the guide slide 50 abuts the guide rail sliding material 513, and the automatic contraction of the elastic openings 505 of the guide slide 50 can now take place, so that the up-and-down movement of the vehicle window 20 can proceed smoothly.After the movement is completed, the elastic openings 505 of the guide slide 50 automatically expand, and the lower left end of the guide slide 50 automatically abuts tightly against the guide rail, which can reduce the likelihood of jamming when the vehicle window 20 is raised and lowered, as well as reduce excessive wear caused by impact contact between the guide slide 50 and the guide rail part 503, and achieve a better fit between the lower right end of the guide slide 50 and the guide rail part 503 and the sealing strip 700.
[0074] At the same time, the secure mounting of the first connecting end 501 and the left side of the guide rail part 503 and the outer cover plate 10 ensures the precise position of the mounting cavity 70 formed between the guide rail part 503 and the outer cover plate 10, so that ultimately, during the mounting of the sealing strip 700, this sealing strip 700 can be precisely clamped between the guide rail part 503 and the outer cover plate 10. The protruding edge 702 can ensure the stable seating of the sealing strip 700 between the guide rail part 503 and the outer cover plate 10 during the mounting of the sealing strip 700. The fit between the mounting groove 704 and the bulge 101 can prevent the sealing strip 700 from leaving the position between the guide rail part 503 and the outer cover plate 10.as well as a position restriction of the sealing lip 701 takes place so that the sealing lip 701 can rest stably against the edge of the vehicle window pane 20, which increases the tightness between the outer cover plate 10 and the vehicle window pane 20 and the low noise, as well as the degree of precision of the flush fit between the outer cover plate 10 and the vehicle window pane 20.

[0078] Guide rail sliding material 513 by injection molding, molding as a whole the outer cover plate 10, the inner guide rail cover plate 500 and the
[0079] Guide rail sliding material 513, forming the bulge 101 as a whole on the edge of the right side of the outer cover plate 10, and automatically forming the mounting cavity 70 between the first connecting end 501 and the left side of the guide rail part 503 and the outer cover plate 10, wherein the guide rail part 503 is also automatically formed with the through-groove,

[0106] Exemplary embodiment 6
[0107] The present exemplary embodiment is basically as shown in Figures 3 and 4. The exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides a flush, integrated guide rail cover plate construction for vehicle windows, comprising an outer cover plate 10, a guide rail cover plate 500, a window frame sheet 30, a vehicle window glass 20, a guide rail part 503 integrally molded to the inner guide rail cover plate 500, a guide slider 50, and a weather strip 700.The edge of the outer wall of the left side of the vehicle window glass 20 is flush with the edge of the right outer side of the outer cover plate 10, wherein the upper side of the left end of the inner guide rail cover plate 500 is connected by gluing or welding to the wall of the lower side of the outer cover plate 10, wherein the indentation of the right side of the inner guide rail cover plate 500 abuts against the surface of the window frame sheet 30, wherein the screw bolt 600 is provided between the indentation of the inner guide rail cover plate 500 and the window frame sheet 30 in a detachable manner.As shown in Figure 4, the guide rail part 503 is located at the central part of the inner guide rail cover plate 500, the longitudinal sectional profile of the guide rail part 503 having a "U" shape and the upper side of the inner guide rail part 503 having an opening opposite the edge of the outer cover plate 10.
[0108] As further shown in Figure 4, the left upper end of the guide slide 50 is adhesively bonded to the lower side of the vehicle window pane 20 by means of glass adhesive, the left lower end of the guide slide 50 penetrates into the guide rail part 503 through the opening, the guide slide 50 is mounted on the guide rail part 503, an elastic opening 505 is provided vertically on the two sides left and right of the left lower end of the guide slide 50, which causes the guide slide 50 to have elasticity on the wall of both sides of the left end.
[0109] As further shown in Figure 4, a bulge 101 is formed integrally on the lower side of the right-hand side edge of the outer cover plate 10. The right end of the bulge 101 extends parallel to the right-hand side of the outer cover plate 10. A mounting cavity 70 for enclosing one end of the weather strip 700 is formed between the bulge 101 and the outer cover plate 10. A sealing lip 701 is formed integrally on the upper right side of the weather strip 700, which abuts against the edge of the inner side of the vehicle window pane 20. The longitudinal section of the weather strip 700 has a "U" shape surrounding the outer wall of the bulge 101, with the opening on the guide rail part 503 facing the bulge 101 and the lower end of the weather strip 700.At the same time, the end surface of the right side of the sealing strip 700 is flush with the end surface of the edge of the right side of the outer cover plate 10.
[0110] At the same time, as shown in Figure 4, the end of the protrusion 101 near the outer cover plate 10 has a curved shape, and the outer side wall of the protrusion 101 with the curved shape abuts the end of the inner guide rail cover plate 500 near the outer cover plate 10. The guide slider 50 is located at one end inside the guide rail part 503 and can abut the lower side wall of the weather strip 700. In addition, the right side of the window frame sheet 30 is connected to the window frame decoration plate 40 by welding, and a weather strip is provided on the upper side of the window frame decoration plate 40, which abuts against the lower side of the vehicle window glass 20.
[0111] When using the flush, integrated guide rail cover plate structure for vehicle windows, the structure of the guide rail part 503 formed as a whole on the inner guide rail cover plate 500 is more stable, while at the same time, the inner guide rail cover plate 500 is firmly connected to the outer cover plate 10 and the window frame sheet 30, so that the position of the guide rail part 503 is stably maintained. When the vehicle window glass 20 slides along the guide rail part 503 under the guidance of the guide slider 50, the vehicle window glass 20 maintains a smooth movement under the support of the guide slider 50 and the sealing lip 701, while at the same time, the edge of the vehicle window glass 20 remains flush with the edge of the outer cover plate 10.
[0112] Because the guide rail part 503 is formed as a whole on the inner guide rail cover plate 500 and the bulge 101 is also formed as a whole on the outer cover plate 10, errors in the fitting between the guide rail part 503 and the inner guide rail cover plate 500 can be reduced, as well as errors in the fitting of the guide rail part 503 to the guide slider 50 and the vehicle window glass 20 can be reduced.The bulge 101 can also reduce positioning errors of the weather strip 700 and the weather lip 701, which further increases the degree of precision of the flush fit between the vehicle window glass 20 and the outer cover plate 10, increases the overall coordination between the respective vehicle window components, and can also reduce the technological steps of assembly between the respective components, thus saving assembly costs.
[0113] At the same time, during an up and down movement of the guide slide 50 within the guide rail part 503, the guide slide 50 experiences pressure from the inner wall of the guide rail part 503 and the lower side of the sealing strip 700, so that an automatic contraction of the elastic opening 505 located on the guide slide 50 can take place.After completion of the movement, the elastic opening 505 located on the guide slide 50 automatically expands with automatic abutment of the left lower end of the guide slide 50 against the guide rail part 503, which can reduce the likelihood of jamming when raising and lowering the vehicle window glass 20, as well as reduce excessive wear caused by impact contact between the left lower end of the guide slide 50 and the guide rail part 503, so that the right lower end of the guide slide 50 has a better fit between the guide rail part 503 and the weather strip 700.
[0114] Exemplary embodiment 7
[0115] The difference between the exemplary embodiment 7 and the exemplary embodiment 6 is basically, as shown in Figure 5, that an elastic opening 505 is also provided horizontally on the two sides above and below at the lower left end of the guide slide 50, so that the four side walls of the left end of the guide slide 50 all have elasticity, wherein the upper side of the lower left end of the guide slide 50 abuts against the lower side of the sealing strip 700.
[0116] At the same time, the guide rail sliding material 80 is adhered to the inner wall of the guide rail part 503, and the left and right sides of the left lower end and the lower side of the guide slider 50 can slidably abut against the guide rail sliding material 80.
[0117] When using the flush, integrated guide rail cover plate structure for vehicle windows according to the present exemplary embodiment, the four sides of the lower left end of the guide slide 50 all have elasticity, and the guide rail sliding material 80 makes the sliding movement of the guide slide 50 within the slide rail more unobstructed, so that binding is not likely to occur during the sliding up and down movement of the vehicle window glass 20, which also reduces wear on the lower left end of the guide slide 50. Finally, it should be noted that the above exemplary embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical concept of the present invention, without implying any limitation thereto.Although the present invention has been described in detail using comparatively advantageous exemplary embodiments, a person skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent replacements of the technical solution of the present invention are possible, all of which, provided there is no deviation from the aim and scope of the present invention, fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
