Description

Glass for Mounting Vibration Components and Glass Diaphragm Module

[0001] The present invention relates to glass for mounting vibration components and a glass diaphragm module.

[0002] Patent Document 1 discloses a structure in which vibration components are attached to the rear glass of a vehicle.

[0003] International Publication No. 2024 / 070584

[0004] In the structure of Patent Document No. 1, the rear glass functions as a speaker by operating the vibration components to vibrate the rear glass. By the way, when wiring is connected from the power source to the vibration components, the wiring path may interfere with the surrounding components.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to obtain a glass for mounting vibration components and a glass diaphragm module that can suppress interference with surrounding components in a structure in which a vibration component attached to a glass plate is connected to a power source by wiring.

[0006] The glass for mounting vibration components according to the present invention includes a glass plate constituting a window glass, a vibration component fixing portion provided on the main surface of the glass plate to which a vibration component for vibrating the glass plate is fixed, a first connector provided on the main surface of the glass plate in contact with the glass plate and provided on a first wiring extending from the vibration component, and a second connector provided on a second wiring extending from a power source outside the glass plate, and a wiring portion to which the second connector is connected.

[0007] In the glass for mounting vibration components and the glass diaphragm module according to the present invention, interference with surrounding components can be suppressed in a structure in which a vibration component attached to a glass plate is connected to a power source by wiring.

It is a cross-sectional view showing a glass diaphragm module according to the second embodiment. It is a front view showing a glass diaphragm module according to the third embodiment. It is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing a state cut along line 5-5 of FIG. 4. It is a cross-sectional view showing a glass diaphragm module according to the fourth embodiment.

[0009] A preferred embodiment of the glass diaphragm module according to the first embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. While the following description will focus on the application of the glass diaphragm module to vehicle windows, the glass diaphragm module according to the present invention may be applied to other moving objects such as airplanes, helicopters, ships, and trains, not just vehicles. Furthermore, the glass diaphragm module according to the present invention may be applied to the windows of buildings and other structures.

[0010] <First Embodiment> The glass diaphragm module 10 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to Figure 1.

[0011] Figure 1 is a schematic front view of the glass diaphragm module 10 as seen from the main surface side, showing the state before the first connector 20 and the second connector 36 are connected. Figure 2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing the state cut along line 2-2 in Figure 1. As shown in Figure 1, in this embodiment, the glass diaphragm module 10 is applied to the rear window (back window) of a vehicle. The glass diaphragm module 10 comprises a glass for mounting vibration components 11 including the rear window 12, and a vibration component 16 attached to the rear window 12.

[0012] The rear window 12 constitutes the vehicle's window glass and is fixed to the vehicle body in a state where it cannot be raised or lowered. While the rear window 12 is often a single pane of glass, it may also be laminated glass, where two glass plates are bonded together with a resin intermediate layer. The rear window 12 is formed from transparent or translucent inorganic glass. Examples of inorganic glass that can be used include soda-lime glass, aluminosilicate glass, borosilicate glass, alkali-free glass, and quartz glass.

[0013] If the rear glass 12 is inorganic glass and single-pane glass, it is preferable that the rear glass 12 is tempered glass. Tempered glass is glass on which a compressive stress layer has been formed, and may be either air-cooled tempered glass or chemically tempered glass. If the tempered glass is physically tempered glass (for example, air-cooled tempered glass), a compressive stress layer may be formed on the glass surface by an operation other than slow cooling, such as rapidly cooling a uniformly heated glass plate from a temperature near its softening point during bending, thereby generating a compressive stress layer on the glass surface due to the temperature difference between the glass surface and the inside of the glass. If the tempered glass is chemically tempered glass, a compressive stress layer may be formed on the glass surface after bending by an ion exchange method or the like.

[0014] If the rear window 12 is laminated glass in which two glass plates are bonded together with a resin intermediate layer, both glass plates may be untempered glass, one may be tempered glass, or both may be tempered glass. If both are tempered glass, both may be air-cooled tempered glass, both may be chemically tempered glass, or one may be air-cooled tempered glass and the other may be chemically tempered glass.

[0015] The rear glass 12 may be formed from organic glass. Examples of organic glass that can be used include PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) resin, PC (polycarbonate) resin, PS (polystyrene) resin, PET (polyethyleneterephthalate) resin, PVC (polyvinyl chloride) resin, and cellulose resin.

[0016] When the rear glass 12 is a single pane of glass, the thickness of the rear glass 12 is preferably 0.5 mm or more, more preferably 1.0 mm or more, and even more preferably 1.5 mm or more. This improves the rigidity and strength of the rear glass 12, making it easier for the piston to vibrate. Also, when the rear glass 12 is a single pane of glass, from the viewpoint of reducing the weight of the glass diaphragm module 10, the thickness of the rear glass 12 is preferably 10.0 mm or less, more preferably 7.0 mm or less, and even more preferably 5.0 mm or less.

[0017] When the rear glass 12 is made of laminated glass in which two glass plates are bonded together by a resin intermediate layer, the thickness of the pair of glass plates constituting the rear glass 12 is preferably 0.5 [mm] or more, more preferably 1.0 [mm] or more, and even more preferably 1.5 [mm] or more. The thickness of the pair of glass plates constituting the rear glass 12 may be the same or different, but it is preferable that they be the same thickness from the viewpoint of stabilizing sound pressure. Furthermore, the total thickness of the rear glass 12 is preferably 1.0 [mm] or more, more preferably 2.0 [mm] or more, and even more preferably 3.0 [mm] or more. Also, from the viewpoint of reducing the weight of the glass diaphragm module 10, it is preferably 10.0 [mm] or less, more preferably 8.0 [mm] or less, and even more preferably 6.0 [mm] or less.

[0018] When the rear glass 12 is made of laminated glass, the intermediate layer can be a resin film containing a thermosetting adhesive material such as a transparent polyvinyl butyral (PVB) or ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) resin film, silicone (PDMS), polyurethane, fluorine, polyethylene terephthalate, or polycarbonate. Furthermore, materials to enhance sound insulation, increase rigidity, and absorb ultraviolet and infrared rays may be added to the intermediate layer. The intermediate layer may also be in liquid or gel form. Examples of liquid intermediate layers include water, oil, organic solvents, liquid polymers, ionic liquids, and mixtures thereof. More specifically, examples include propylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, tripropylene glycol, straight silicone oil (dimethyl silicone oil, methylphenyl silicone oil, methyl hydrogen silicone oil), modified silicone oil, acrylic acid polymers, liquid polybutadiene, glycerin paste, fluorinated solvents, fluorinated resins, acetone, ethanol, xylene, toluene, water, mineral oil, and mixtures thereof. In particular, it is preferable to include at least one selected from the group consisting of propylene glycol, dimethyl silicone oil, methylphenyl silicone oil, methyl hydrogen silicone oil, and modified silicone oil, and it is more preferable to have propylene glycol or silicone oil as the main component. Specifically, examples of gel-like intermediate layers include carbon-based, fluorinated, or silicone-based polymer materials. Specifically, examples include ABS, AES, AS, CA, CN, CPE, EEA, EVA, EVOH, IO, PMMA, PMP, PP, PS, PVC, RB, TPA, TPE, TPEE, TPF, TPO, TPS, TPU, TPVC, AAS, ACS, PET, PPE, PA6, PA66, PBN, PBT, PC, POM, PPO, ETFE, FEP, LCP, PEEK, PEI, PES, PFA, PPS, PSV, PTFE, PVDF, silicone, polyurethane, PI, PF, PVB, TAC, polyolefin, acrylic and its copolymer resins, etc. Alternatively, composite materials combining the above materials may be used. The above materials may be used individually or in combination of two or more types.Furthermore, tackifiers and plasticizers may be included to provide adhesion. The thickness of the intermediate layer may be, for example, 0.1 [μm] to 3.0 [mm], 1.0 [μm] to 2.8 [mm], or 3.0 [μm] to 2.6 [mm]. If the rear glass 12 is laminated glass, a dimmable film that electrically varies the visible light transmittance may be sandwiched between the two glass plates. Examples of dimmable films that can be used include TN (Twisted Nematic) type liquid crystal film, VA (Vertical Alignment) type liquid crystal film, polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) film, suspended particle device (SPD) film, polymer network liquid crystal (PNLC) film, guest host liquid crystal film, electrochromic material, and photochromic material. Glass on which an image is displayed on part or all of the glass is also conceivable. A liquid crystal film may be sandwiched as a method for displaying the image. Alternatively, a projection screen film may be sandwiched between the glass plates. Furthermore, some or all of the glass may be equipped with film-like solar cell elements for generating electricity from sunlight. To ensure visibility as a vehicle window, it is generally preferable to use transparent films with excellent transparency. These functions can be imparted not only by sandwiching the film between the glass plates, but also by directly microfabrication, printing, transfer, or application of the film to the glass surface, as long as the glass speaker's function is not compromised.

[0019] In this embodiment, the rear glass 12 is formed in a substantially trapezoidal shape with the vehicle's width direction as the longitudinal direction, and the lower edge is longer than the upper edge. Furthermore, a light-shielding layer 13 of a predetermined width is provided on the outer periphery of the rear glass 12, which is formed of a color ceramic layer such as black, dark color, or white, or a color ink layer printed with organic or inorganic ink. Note that the present invention may also be applied to a structure without the light-shielding layer 13.

[0020] The rear glass 12 is constructed such that adhesives and other materials cannot be seen from outside the vehicle by the light-shielding layer 13. The light-shielding layer 13 is provided continuously around the outer edge of the rear glass 12, but it may have at least a portion of the area where the light-shielding layer is not provided.

[0021] Furthermore, a defogger (not shown) may be formed on the interior surface of the rear window 12 to clear fog (for anti-fogging). The defogger has a plurality of heater wires extending in the width direction of the rear window 12 and a pair of busbars extending vertically near both sides of the rear window 12, with a plurality of heater wires formed between the pair of busbars. The defogger is formed by printing and firing a silver paste containing silver powder and glass frit onto the surface of the rear window 12.

[0022] Furthermore, if the rear glass 12 is equipped with conductive wires (for example, defoggers and antennas) formed by printing and baking a paste containing a conductor (for example, silver paste) onto the main surface on the interior side of the vehicle, it is preferable that the vibration component 16 be mounted so as not to overlap with the conductive wires.

[0023] Furthermore, a coating film may be formed on the rear glass 12. As the coating film, a Low-E (Low Emissivity) film, an AG (Anti-Glare) film, an AR (Anti-Reflection) film, an AF (Anti-Fingerprint) film, a UV (ultraviolet) cut film, an anti-fogging film, an anti-mold film, and a water-repellent film may be used.

[0024] Furthermore, the rear glass 12 may be colored glass baked with blue, red, green, gray, etc., or it may be privacy glass. Privacy glass is glass with lower transparency than green glass and clear glass, and is also called dark gray glass. In the rear glass 12, the privacy glass is Fe ２ O ３ This can be achieved by adjusting the total iron content converted to iron. The visible light transmittance of privacy glass can be adjusted to approximately 40-50% when the plate thickness is 1.8 mm, and approximately 30-45% when the plate thickness is 2.0 mm.

[0025] The rear glass 12 is provided with a light-shielding layer 13, and the light-shielding layer 13 is provided with a vibration component fixing part 14 to which a vibration component 16 that excites the rear glass 12 is fixed. In this embodiment, the vibration component 16 is fixed to the vibration component fixing part 14 via an adhesive layer 15. The adhesive layer 15 is circular in shape when viewed from the front, corresponding to the shape of the vibration component 16. As the adhesive layer 15, for example, an adhesive such as adhesive tape formed in sheet form can be used. Alternatively, as the adhesive layer 15, for example, adhesives such as acrylic, silicone, urethane, epoxy, phenol, and epoxy silicone adhesives, or adhesives having properties such as thermosetting, moisture curing, two-component curing, ultraviolet curing, visible light curing, and anaerobic curing can be used.

[0026] The vibrating component 16 is an actuator that vibrates the rear glass 12 in response to an electrical signal input from the first wiring 18. In this embodiment, the vibrating component 16 is, as an example, a voice coil motor including a coil and a magnetic circuit. When current flows through the coil, vibration is generated by the interaction between the coil and the magnetic circuit, causing the rear glass 12 to vibrate (excite). The direction of vibration is in the thickness direction of the rear glass 12 (vibrating component 16). Note that the vibrating component 16 is not limited to a voice coil motor; any actuator capable of transmitting the desired vibration to the rear glass 12 can be used, such as a piezo actuator or other actuators besides a voice coil motor.

[0027] One end of the first wiring 18 is connected to the vibrating component 16, and electricity can be supplied to the vibrating component 16 via the first wiring 18. The other end of the first wiring 18 extends from the vibrating component 16, and a first connector 20 is provided at the tip of the first wiring 18.

[0028] Below the vibration component fixing section 14, a wiring connection section 22 is provided. Printed wiring 28 is arranged in the wiring connection section 22 as wiring. The printed wiring 28 is conductive wiring formed by printing and firing a paste containing a conductor onto the surface of the rear glass 12, and wiring containing metals such as gold, silver, and copper is used. It is preferable that the printed wiring 28 be made of the same material as the conductive wires (for example, defoggers and antennas) formed on the rear glass 12 by printing and firing silver paste on the main surface on the interior side, so that the printed wiring 28 can be formed on the rear glass 12 at the same time as the defoggers and antennas.

[0029] A first socket 24 is provided at one end of the printed circuit board 28. The first socket 24 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape when viewed from the front, and its bottom surface is bonded to the rear glass 12 by two adhesive layers 30.

[0030] Furthermore, the first socket 24 is provided with two electrode portions 31, each of which is connected to a printed circuit board 28. With the first connector 20 connected to the first socket 24, the vibrating component 16 and the electrode portions 31 are electrically connected.

[0031] A second socket 26 is provided at the other end of the printed circuit board 28. The second socket 26 is formed in the same shape as the first socket 24, and its bottom surface is bonded to the rear glass 12 by two adhesive layers 32.

[0032] Furthermore, the second socket 26 is provided with electrode portions 33 in two locations, and each electrode portion 33 is connected to a printed circuit board 28. The second socket 26 is also configured to be connectable to a second connector 36.

[0033] The second connector 36 is located at the end of the second wiring 34 and receives power from the power supply. Therefore, by connecting the second connector 36 to the second socket 26, power is supplied from the power supply to the vibrating component 16 via the printed circuit board 28.

[0034] Furthermore, at least one of the first wiring 18 and the second wiring 34 may be equipped with a reinforcing member. The reinforcing member is preferably made of a material with higher hardness than the first wiring 18 or the second wiring 34. Reinforcement sleeves, wires, etc., can be used as the reinforcing member.

[0035] Furthermore, at least one of the first wiring 18 and the second wiring 34 may be equipped with an insulating material. The insulating material is preferably made of a material with higher hardness than the first wiring 18 or the second wiring 34. An insulating material is preferred as the insulating material. For example, foamed polyurethane, glass wool with heat-resistant and moisture-proof paper, polystyrene foam, glass wool, rock wool, aluminum foil, etc., can be used. Note that a reinforcing material and an insulating material may be used in combination.

[0036] Furthermore, known connection methods such as insertion, mating, crimping, and mechanical fastening with screws can be used to connect the first connector 20 to the first socket 24 and the second connector 36 to the second socket 26. In addition to mechanical fastening, the first connector 20 to the first socket 24 and the second connector 36 to the second socket 26 may be connected by press-fitting, by using conductive adhesive, or by soldering. Known connectors and terminals such as mating connectors, spade terminals, push-in terminals, one-touch connectors, housing connectors, banana plugs, and Y-plugs can be used for the first connector 20 to the first socket 24 and the second connector 36 to the second socket 26.

[0037] Furthermore, at least one of the first connector 20 and the first socket 24, and at least one of the second connector 36 and the second socket 26 may have an amplifier function, a digital signal processing function, a filtering function such as a low-pass filter, a high-pass filter, or a band-pass filter, a resistor for protecting actuators and electronic devices, a microphone, an acceleration sensor, or other vibration information acquisition function.

[0038] The second socket 26 may have a wiring section separate from the wiring section 28. Also, the first socket 24 may be connected to the first connector 20 and to a connector separate from the first connector 20. That is, the second socket 26 or the first socket 24 may be configured to connect to multiple vibration components via multiple connectors or multiple wirings. In that case, the second socket 26 or the first socket 24 may have an electrical signal branching function. The electrical signal branching function may include a distribution function that branches the same electrical signal, or an LR branching function that separates electrical signals such as stereo sound into left and right channels. Also, the second socket 26 or the first socket 24 may have three or more wirings or connectors connected to it.

[0039] (Function) Next, the function of this embodiment will be described.

[0040] According to the glass 11 for mounting the vibration component and the glass diaphragm module 10 of this embodiment, the printed wiring 28 is printed on the rear glass 12. Therefore, even when wiring is connected from the power supply to the vibration component 16, interference between surrounding components and the wiring path can be suppressed.

[0041] Furthermore, since the first connector 20 of the first wiring 18 is connected to the first socket 24, the printed wiring 28 can be freely designed, and the socket can be placed at any desired position. For example, by providing the first socket 24 in an area with few surrounding components and printing the printed wiring 28 in an area that may interfere with components, the connection and disconnection of the first connector 20 and the first socket 24 becomes easy.

[0042] Furthermore, if a reinforcing member is attached to at least one of the first wiring 18 and the second wiring 34, the flapping of the first wiring 18 and the second wiring 34 can be suppressed. In addition, even if the adhesive layer 15 peels off, it is possible to prevent the vibrating component 16 from falling off and coming into contact with the vehicle occupants.

[0043] Further, if a heat insulating member is attached to at least one of the first wiring 18 and the second wiring 34, heat generation of the first wiring 18 or the second wiring 34 can be suppressed from propagating to the rear glass 12, and at the same time, heat of the rear glass 12 can be suppressed from propagating to the first wiring 18 or the second wiring 34.

[0044] <Second Embodiment> The glass diaphragm module 40 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 3. Note that the same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted as appropriate.

[0046] The roof glass 42 forms a window glass of the vehicle and is fixed to the vehicle body in a state where it cannot be raised or lowered, but it may be slidable in the vehicle front-rear direction or the left-right direction. The roof glass 42 is often a single-plate glass, but may also be a laminated glass in which two glass plates are bonded by a resin intermediate layer. The roof glass 42 is formed of a transparent or translucent inorganic glass.

Further, the second socket 32 is adhered to the roof glass 42 via an adhesive layer 32.

[0049] The first socket 24 and the second socket 26 are connected by printed wiring 28. The printed wiring 28 is formed by printing and firing on the roof glass 42.

[0050] <Third Embodiment> The glass diaphragm module 50 according to the third embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 4 and 5. Components similar to those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and their descriptions are omitted as appropriate.

[0051] Figure 4 is a front view showing a glass diaphragm module according to the third embodiment. Figure 5 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing the state cut along line 5-5 in Figure 4. As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the glass diaphragm module 50 of this embodiment is applied to the roof glass 42 of a vehicle. The glass diaphragm module 50 comprises a glass 51 for mounting a vibrating component, including the roof glass 42, and a vibrating component 16 attached to the roof glass 42.

[0052] The roof glass 42 is provided with a light-shielding layer 43 similar to the light-shielding layer 13, and a vibration component fixing part 14 is provided on the light-shielding layer 43. A vibration component 16 is attached to the vibration component fixing part 14 via an adhesive layer 15.

[0053] A wiring connection section 22 is provided either in front of or behind the vibration component fixing section 14. At the wiring connection section 22, the flexible substrate 52 is bonded to the main surface of the roof glass 42 via adhesive layers 54 and 58.

[0054] The flexible substrate 52 is composed of a film wiring section 52A which is a substantially strip-shaped and flexible wiring section, a first connection section 52B provided at one end of the film wiring section 52A, and a second connection section 52C provided at the other end of the film wiring section 52A. The first connection section 52B corresponds to the first sockets 24 and 30 described above, and the second connection section 52C corresponds to the second sockets 26 and 32 described above.

[0055] The first connection portion 52B has adhesive layers 54 on both the left and right sides, and is bonded to the roof glass 42 by these adhesive layers 54. Electrodes 56 are also provided between the adhesive layers 54, and when the first connector 20 is connected to the first connection portion 52B, the first connector 20 and the electrodes 56 become electrically connected.

[0056] The second connection portion 52C has adhesive layers 58 on both the left and right sides, and is bonded to the roof glass 42 by these adhesive layers 58. Electrodes 60 are also provided between the adhesive layers 58, and when the second connector 36 is connected to the second connection portion 52C, the second connector 36 and the electrodes 60 become electrically connected.

[0057] The film wiring section 52A is made of a flexible material and is bonded to the roof glass 42 by an adhesive means (not shown). The film wiring section 52A does not need to be bonded to its entire surface, as long as it does not lift away from the surface of the roof glass 42.

[0058] In this manner, one end and the other end of the flexible substrate 52 are bonded to the main surface on the roof glass 42, the first connector 20 is connected to one end of the flexible substrate 52, and the second connector 36 is connected to the other end of the flexible substrate 52. This allows power to be supplied from the power source to the vibration component 16 via the flexible substrate 52, even if the first connector 20 and the second connector 36 cannot be directly connected.

[0059] In this embodiment, the vibrating component 16 is directly bonded to the vibrating component fixing part 14 via an adhesive layer 15, but the invention is not limited to this, and the vibrating component 16 may also be attached via a mounting member. The mounting member may be made of a metal including stainless steel, aluminum, or titanium, and at least a part or all of the mounting member may be made of a resin such as plastic. As the plastic, general engineering plastics such as ABS, PVC, PC, PP, PBT, PA66, and PPS may be used, or fiber-reinforced plastics including glass fibers or carbon fibers may be used.

[0060] The mounting member may be formed with a smaller diameter than the vibrating component 16, or with a larger diameter than the vibrating component 16. Furthermore, there are no particular limitations on the method of fixing the mounting member and the vibrating component 16; they may be configured to be mechanically attached using bolts, rivets, claws, etc., or they may be attached using adhesive or the like.

[0061] Furthermore, although the above embodiment described a structure applied to the rear glass 12 and roof glass 42 as window glass, it is not limited to this. For example, it may be applied to the side door glass, rear quarter glass, and windshield of a vehicle.

[0062] Furthermore, the glass plate module is not limited to vehicles; it may also be applied to building windows, and to other moving objects besides vehicles. For example, the glass diaphragm module may be applied to trains, airplanes, helicopters, and drones.

[0063] <Fourth Embodiment> The glass diaphragm module 60 according to the fourth embodiment will be described with reference to Figure 6. Components similar to those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and their descriptions are omitted as appropriate.

[0064] Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view showing a glass diaphragm module 60 according to the fourth embodiment. As shown in Figure 6, the glass diaphragm module 60 of this embodiment includes a glass for mounting vibrating components 11, including a rear glass 12, and a vibrating component fixing portion 14 provided on the main surface of the rear glass 12. A vibrating component 16 is fixed to the vibrating component fixing portion 14 via an adhesive layer 15.

[0065] Furthermore, a wiring connection section 22 is provided below the vibration component fixing section 14, and printed wiring 28 is arranged in the wiring connection section 22 as wiring. The printed wiring 28 is conductive wiring formed by printing and firing a paste containing a conductor onto the surface of the rear glass 12, and wiring containing metals such as gold, silver, and copper is used. It is preferable that the printed wiring 28 be made of the same material as the conductive wires (for example, defoggers and antennas) formed on the rear glass 12 by printing and firing silver paste on the main surface on the interior side, so that the printed wiring 28 can be formed on the rear glass 12 at the same time as the defoggers and antennas.

[0066] In this embodiment, the printed circuit board 28 is covered with an insulating protective layer 62. For example, seals, tapes, inks, adhesives, etc., can be used as the protective layer 62. By providing the protective layer 62, even if the printed circuit board 28 is located in a place within reach of the occupants in the vehicle interior, it is possible to prevent the occupants from directly touching the printed circuit board 28.
