Description

Escape windows and vehicles

[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202411557721.2, filed on November 4, 2024, entitled "Escape Window and Vehicle", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] This application relates to the technical field of window structures, and in particular to an escape window and vehicle. Background Technology

[0003] An escape window is a type of window used for emergency evacuation of people in the event of a safety accident. In addition to its widespread use in buildings, it is also increasingly being used in vehicles. This allows occupants of a vehicle to quickly open the escape window to save themselves when a traffic accident or spontaneous combustion occurs, thereby reducing personal and property damage and improving the vehicle's safety performance.

[0004] Currently, escape windows used in vehicles mainly employ an upward-flipping opening mechanism, utilizing gas springs or struts to support the inner window assembly, opening it to approximately 90° for escape. However, in actual use, gas springs exhibit instability, causing abnormal noises during the rotation and opening / closing of the inner window assembly. When the inner window assembly is heavy, using struts to rotate and open it becomes very strenuous, making operation difficult and impacting the user experience. Furthermore, the glass in the inner window assembly typically uses a left-right sliding opening and closing mechanism, with the opened window height approaching the seating height of passengers inside the vehicle. This increases the risk of passengers extending their hands outside the vehicle or throwing items out, posing a significant potential safety hazard. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an escape window and vehicle to address the issues of poor user experience and potential safety hazards.

[0006] A first aspect of this application provides an escape window, comprising:

[0007] outer frame assembly; and

[0008] The inner window assembly and the rotating assembly are provided. The inner window assembly is rotatably connected to the outer frame assembly via the rotating assembly, so that the inner window assembly can be rotated horizontally relative to the outer frame assembly to open or close.

[0009] The inner window assembly includes an inner frame assembly, a fixed glass, and a movable glass. The fixed glass is fixed inside the inner frame assembly and cooperates with the inner frame assembly to form a window. The window is located above the fixed glass. The movable glass is movably mounted on the inner frame assembly and can open or close the window.

[0010] A second aspect of this application also provides a vehicle comprising:

[0011] Body; and

[0012] The escape window as described above is installed on the vehicle body.

[0013] In this escape window design, the inner window assembly is rotatably connected to the outer frame assembly via a rotating component. This allows the inner window assembly to rotate horizontally relative to the outer frame assembly, enabling opening and closing. This achieves a casement opening and closing structure for the escape window. Compared to the upward-flipping opening and closing structure in traditional technology, it eliminates the need for gas springs and struts, thus avoiding the noise problems caused by the instability of gas springs and the difficulties in flipping operation when using struts due to the weight of the inner window assembly, which affects the user experience. Furthermore, by positioning the window above the fixed glass in the inner window assembly, when the movable glass moves relative to the inner frame assembly to open the window, the window's height makes it difficult for passengers inside the vehicle to reach it. This reduces the risk of dangerous actions such as reaching hands out of the window or throwing items out of the vehicle, effectively eliminating potential safety hazards.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] To facilitate understanding of this application, a more complete description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Preferred embodiments of this application are shown in the drawings. However, this application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. It should be understood that these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of this application.

[0028] Referring to Figures 1 to 5, an escape window 100 is shown in an embodiment of this application, which includes an outer frame assembly 10, an inner window assembly 20, and a rotating component 30. The inner window assembly 20 is rotatably connected to the outer frame assembly 10 via the rotating component 30, so that the inner window assembly 20 can rotate horizontally relative to the outer frame assembly 10 to open or close.

[0029] For example, in this application, both the outer frame assembly 10 and the inner window assembly 20 are rectangular in shape, with their lengths arranged along the height of the escape window 100, and their widths located horizontally. That is, the long sides of the outer frame assembly 10 and the inner window assembly 20 extend along the height of the escape window 100, and the rotating component 30 connects to one of the long sides of the outer frame assembly 10 and the inner window assembly 20 (as shown by the left long side in Figure 1). Therefore, the rotating component 30 can be understood as being located on the side of the escape window 100. This allows the rotating component 30 to almost completely bear the weight of the inner window assembly 20, so that when the user pushes and pulls the inner window assembly 20 horizontally, it hardly bears the weight of the inner window assembly 20.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1, 2 and 5. The inner window assembly 20 includes an inner frame assembly 21, a fixed glass 22 and a movable glass 23. The fixed glass 22 is fixed inside the inner frame assembly 21 and the fixed glass 22 and the inner frame assembly 21 cooperate to form a window 40. The window 40 is arranged above the fixed glass 22. The movable glass 23 is movably mounted on the inner frame assembly 21 and can open or close the window 40.

[0031] It should be noted that, to improve safety and reliability, after window 40 is fully opened by the operable glass 23, the height of the lower edge of window 40 should be at least such that when a passenger inside the vehicle raises their arm, their palm can just touch the lower edge of window 40, or their palm is below the lower edge of window 40, or in other cases. This ensures that passengers' hands are less likely to extend out of the window and throw items from inside the vehicle out.

[0032] In summary, implementing the technical solution of this embodiment will achieve the following beneficial effects: In the escape window 100 of this solution, the inner window assembly 20 is rotatably connected to the outer frame assembly 10 through the rotating component 30, so that the inner window assembly 20 can rotate relative to the outer frame assembly 10 in the horizontal direction to realize the opening or closing operation. That is, the escape window 100 realizes a casement opening and closing structure design. Compared with the upward flip opening and closing structure in the traditional technology, there is no need to use gas springs and struts, thereby eliminating the abnormal noise problem caused by the instability of gas springs, and when the inner window assembly... The heavy weight of the inner window assembly 20, coupled with the difficulty of flipping it when using a strut, affects the user experience. In addition, by placing the window 40 above the fixed glass 22 in the inner window assembly 20, when the movable glass 23 moves relative to the inner frame assembly 21 to open the window 40, the window 40 is at a higher position, making it less likely for passengers inside the vehicle to reach it. This makes it less likely for passengers to stick their hands out of the window 40 or throw items out of the vehicle, thus effectively eliminating potential safety hazards.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 3 to 5. Based on the above embodiments, the outer frame assembly 10 includes an outer frame body 11 and an outer frame connecting sleeve 12 disposed on the outer frame body 11. The outer frame connecting sleeve 12 is specifically a cylindrical structure. The inner frame assembly 21 includes an inner frame body 211 and an inner frame connecting sleeve 212 disposed on the inner frame body 211. The inner frame connecting sleeve 212 is specifically a cylindrical structure. The inner frame connecting sleeve 212 and the outer frame connecting sleeve 12 are arranged coaxially along the height direction of the escape window 100. The rotating component 30 includes a rotating shaft 31, which passes through the inner frame connecting sleeve 212 and the inner frame connecting sleeve 12. The cross-section of the rotating shaft 31 is circular.

[0034] With this configuration, the pivot 31 can not only connect and fix the outer frame connecting sleeve 12 and the inner frame connecting sleeve 212 to form an escape window 100 by assembling the inner window assembly 20 and the outer frame assembly 10, but also the pivot 31, the outer frame connecting sleeve 12 and the inner frame connecting sleeve 212 are in a circular rotating surface fit. When the inner window assembly 20 is pushed and pulled to open or close, the inner frame connecting sleeve 212 rotates smoothly and steadily relative to the outer frame connecting sleeve 12. The user applies less operating force, the operation is easier, and it helps to improve the user experience.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 3. Further, the rotating assembly 30 also includes a first washer 32, a second washer 33, a first bearing 34, and a second bearing 35. The first washer 32 is disposed between one end of the rotating shaft 31 and one end of the inner frame connecting sleeve 212. The second washer 33 is disposed between the other end of the inner frame connecting sleeve 212 and one end of the outer frame connecting sleeve 12. The first bearing 34 is sleeved between the rotating shaft 31 and the inner frame connecting sleeve 212. The second bearing 35 is sleeved between the rotating shaft 31 and the outer frame connecting sleeve 12. Typically, to ensure service life and structural strength, the inner frame connecting sleeve 212, the outer frame connecting sleeve 12, and the rotating shaft 31 are all made of metal materials (such as stainless steel, alloy steel, etc.). Therefore, by setting the first shim 32, the second shim 33, the first bearing 34, and the second bearing 35, the rotating shaft 31 can be separated from the inner frame connecting sleeve 212 and from the outer frame connecting sleeve 12 to avoid direct contact. This can eliminate abnormal noise caused by friction during relative rotation, improve the quietness of the opening and closing process of the escape window 100, and enhance the user experience.

[0036] For example, the first gasket 32 ​​and the second gasket 33 are specifically flat gaskets, which can ensure that they are in planar contact with the inner frame connecting sleeve 212, the outer frame connecting sleeve 12 and the rotating shaft 31, thus ensuring that the inner window assembly 20 rotates smoothly and steadily.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 3. In addition, the rotating assembly 30 also includes a shaft end retaining ring 36, which is snapped into the end of the extended outer frame connecting sleeve 12 of the rotating shaft body 31, and the shaft end retaining ring 36 abuts against the outer frame connecting sleeve 12 to achieve axial anti-disengagement limit of the rotating shaft body 31.

[0038] Preferably, in this application, two sets of the rotating component 30, the inner frame connecting sleeve 212, and the outer frame connecting sleeve 12 are provided and assembled in a one-to-one correspondence. One set is arranged on the upper side of the inner window assembly 20, and the other set is arranged on the lower side of the inner window assembly 20.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 4. In another embodiment, the outer frame assembly 10 also includes an alarm 13. The outer frame 11 has a recessed receiving groove, and the alarm 13 is disposed in the receiving groove. By providing the alarm 13, passengers inside the vehicle can easily activate the alarm in case of an emergency to notify other personnel to intervene and provide timely rescue.

[0040] For example, the alarm 13 can communicate with the traffic police department's central control system. When the alarm 13 is operated, it can promptly alert the traffic police department. Alternatively, when the vehicle is a large bus or school bus, students sitting at the back of the vehicle (far from the driver) can also press the alarm 13 in case of an emergency. The alarm 13 is connected to the central control unit on the driver's console, so it can promptly notify the driver so that the driver can intervene in time, and so on.

[0041] For example, the alarm 13 can be any of the following types, including but not limited to button type and touch screen type.

[0042] Due to considerations such as light transmission and practicality, some inner window assemblies 20 are designed to be large in size and weight. Since the inner window assembly 20 is side-mounted, it generates a significant lateral tilting force on the rotating component 30. Over time, this can easily lead to deformation of the rotating component 30, causing the inner window assembly 20 to tilt to one side, resulting in reduced rotational smoothness and abnormal noise, as well as gaps appearing when the inner window assembly 20 and the outer frame assembly 10 are closed. To address this, a first pad 14 is provided at the bottom of the inner frame wall of the outer frame 11. The first pad 14 abuts against the bottom of the inner window assembly 20, providing vertical support and sharing the weight of the inner window assembly 20 with the rotating component 30, thus reducing the probability of deformation of the rotating component 30.

[0043] Please refer to Figures 4 and 5. Furthermore, based on any of the above embodiments, the escape window 100 also includes a window lock. The window lock includes a window lock seat 50a and a window lock assembly 50. The window lock seat 50a is disposed on the outer frame assembly 10, and the window lock assembly 50 is disposed on the inner frame assembly 21. The window lock assembly 50 can lock or unlock with the window lock seat 50a. That is, when the inner window assembly 20 is closed to the outer frame assembly 10, the window lock assembly 50 locks with the window lock seat 50a, thereby restricting the relative rotational freedom between the inner frame assembly 21 and the outer frame assembly 10, achieving the effect of locking the inner window assembly 20. Conversely, when the window lock assembly 50 is unlocked by operating the window lock seat 50a, the inner window assembly 20 can be rotated and opened, realizing the opening of the escape window 100.

[0044] Specifically, in a preferred embodiment, two window lock seats 50a are provided, and the two window lock seats 50a are spaced apart on the outer frame assembly 10 along the height direction of the escape window 100. For example, the window lock seats 50a are sheet metal parts, and are fixed to the outer frame body 11 of the outer frame assembly 10 by at least one of the following methods: screwing, snap-fitting, riveting, etc.

[0045] Please refer to Figures 4, 5, 9, and 10. The window lock assembly 50 includes a mounting bracket 51, a handle 52, a lock cylinder 53, and a connecting rod 54. The mounting bracket 51 is located on the inner frame assembly 21 and is installed by screw fastening or other methods. The handle 52 is rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket 51 and connected to the lock cylinder 53. The mounting bracket 51 is used to mount the integrated handle 52 and lock cylinder 53. When the handle 52 is rotated, it synchronously drives the lock cylinder 53 to rotate in the same direction. The connecting rod 54 is slidably mounted on the inner frame assembly 21 and connected to the lock cylinder 53. Two lock bodies 541 are arranged at intervals on the connecting rod 54. Each lock body 541 corresponds to a window lock seat 50a, and the lock body 541 can lock or unlock with the window lock seat 50a.

[0046] For example, referring to Figures 1 and 5, when the handle 52 is turned downwards (i.e., clockwise as indicated by the arc arrow in Figure 1, or counterclockwise as indicated by the arc arrow in Figure 5), the handle 52 simultaneously drives the lock cylinder 53 to rotate. The lock cylinder 53 then simultaneously drives the connecting rod 54 to move upwards relative to the inner frame 211, so that the two lock bodies 541 simultaneously separate from the corresponding window lock seats 50a, thereby unlocking the window lock assembly 50. At this time, the inner window assembly 20 can be rotated and opened. When the handle 52 is turned upwards, the lock cylinder 53 is simultaneously driven to rotate. The lock cylinder 53 then simultaneously drives the connecting rod 54 to move downwards relative to the inner frame 211, so that the two lock bodies 541 engage with the window lock seats 50a one-to-one, thereby locking the window lock assembly 50. At this time, the inner window assembly 20 cannot be opened relative to the outer frame assembly 10.

[0047] It should be noted that the two sets of lock bodies 541 arranged vertically and simultaneously engaging and locking with the window lock seat 50a serves two purposes. Firstly, it enhances the engagement strength between the inner frame 211 and the outer frame 11 when they are closed, preventing accidental opening due to insufficient engagement force when pulled by external forces. Secondly, it ensures that the entire side of the inner frame 211 is subjected to uniform force, and that the inner frame 211 and the outer frame 11 are tightly closed, avoiding any local gaps that would affect the protective performance and aesthetics.

[0048] Furthermore, the window lock assembly 50 also includes a return spring 56. One end of the return spring 56 is fixed to the side of the lower end of the inner frame 211 by a screw, and the other end is connected to the connecting rod 54. When the handle 52 is turned to unlock the lock body 541 from the window lock seat 50a and open the inner window assembly 20, the connecting rod 54 moves to stretch the return spring 56. When the return spring 56 is released, the connecting rod 54 can move back to its original position under the pull of the return spring force of the return spring 56. At this time, since the inner window assembly 20 is not in the closed position, the lock body 541 will interfere with the window lock seat 50a, so that the inner window assembly 20 will not be accidentally closed.

[0049] In other words, when it is necessary to close the inner window assembly 20, it is still necessary to turn the handle 52 downward to prevent the return spring 56 from pulling the linkage 54 to reset on its own. Only in this way can the inner window assembly 20 be closed smoothly while keeping the lock body 541 separated from and offset from the window lock seat 50a. Then, the handle 52 is released, and the automatic locking is achieved under the return force of the return spring 56.

[0050] During installation, a groove and an extension communicating with the groove are formed inside the inner frame 211. The mounting bracket 51 and the lock cylinder 53 are inserted into the groove, with one end of the lock cylinder 53 passing through the extension to engage or disengage with the window lock seat 50a. The handle 52 is installed on the outer surface of the inner frame 211 for easy rotation by the user. Considering that machining the groove would reduce the wall thickness of the inner frame 211 and result in insufficient strength, the mounting bracket 51 is installed against the inner wall of the inner frame 211 to increase the structural strength of the inner frame 211.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 5. In another embodiment, the window lock assembly 50 further includes a reinforcing member 55. The reinforcing member 55 is disposed on the outside of the connecting rod 54, and the reinforcing member 55 has a first latch 551. The end of the lock cylinder 53 is latched in the first latch 551. With this configuration, the added reinforcing member 55 is connected to the lock cylinder 53, which can extend the rotational lever arm of the lock cylinder 53 to ensure that the movement distance of the connecting rod 54 can meet the needs of locking or unlocking the lock body 541 and the window lock seat 50a.

[0052] Please refer to Figures 5 and 8. In this application, the inner window assembly 20 includes a movable glass 23 that can be raised and lowered, allowing the window 40 to be opened when ventilation of the vehicle interior is needed; when ventilation is not needed, the movable glass 23 needs to be kept closed. Based on this, in any of the above embodiments, the inner window assembly 20 also includes a glass lock 60, which includes a glass lock body 61, a second pad 62, and a glass latch 63. The glass lock body 61 is mounted on the edge aluminum strip 23a of the movable glass 23 via the second pad 62, and the glass latch 63 is mounted on the inner frame 211. The glass lock body 61 can lock or unlock with the glass latch 63. When the glass lock body 61 is operated to unlock with the glass latch 63, the movable glass 23 can be pushed down to open the window 40; when the movable glass 23 is moved upward to lock the glass lock body 61 with the glass latch 63, the movable glass 23 can be locked, ensuring that the movable glass 23 reliably closes the window 40.

[0053] In addition, it should be noted that by installing the glass lock body 61 on the edge aluminum strip 23a of the movable glass 23 through the second pad 62, it is possible to avoid drilling holes in the movable glass 23, thereby avoiding affecting the structural strength of the movable glass 23 and eliminating the safety hazard that the movable glass 23 may break during drilling.

[0054] Please refer to Figures 5 and 10. Further, in another embodiment, the glass latch 63 includes a latch seat 631 and a flexible body 632. The latch seat 631 has a recessed opening 631a on its side facing the glass lock body 61. The flexible body 632 is disposed within the opening 631a. When the glass lock body 61 extends into the opening 631a and locks with the glass latch 63, the glass lock body 61 and the flexible body 632 are flexibly engaged. Thus, when the glass lock body 61 and the glass latch 63 are locked together, collision noises are eliminated.

[0055] For example, the soft material 632 can be, but is not limited to, rubber, epoxy resin, etc.

[0056] To improve the installation stability of the soft body 632 and prevent it from loosening and falling off, a locking body 6321 is provided on one of the side walls of the locking opening 631a and the outer wall of the soft body 632, and a second locking opening 631b is provided on the other side wall of the locking opening 631a and the outer wall of the soft body 632, with the locking body 6321 locked in the second locking opening 631b.

[0057] For example, in this application, the locking opening 631a is U-shaped, and correspondingly, the soft body 632 is also U-shaped. The second latch 631b is formed on the two opposite inner sidewalls of the locking opening 631a. Correspondingly, the two opposite outer sidewalls of the soft body 632 are also provided with latching bodies 6321, which are correspondingly latched into the second latch 631b. Furthermore, both the latching bodies 6321 and the second latch 631b are U-shaped, thereby increasing the latching area and the latching strength, making it less likely for the soft body 632 to loosen or fall off.

[0058] In another embodiment, the glass latch 63 further includes a rigid insert (not shown in the figure), and a mounting groove is formed inside the latch seat 631, into which the rigid insert is fitted. For cost reduction and other considerations, the glass latch 63 is typically made of plastic. Therefore, inserting a rigid insert into the plastic glass latch 63 can significantly improve the overall structural strength of the glass latch 63, thereby enhancing its durability and reliability, and preventing deformation or even breakage of the glass latch 63.

[0059] For example, rigid inserts can be, but are not limited to, metal inserts, such as stainless steel plates.

[0060] In actual use, damage to the glass latch 63 is still unavoidable. Damaged latches generally cannot be repaired in place and must be replaced. In traditional technology, the glass latch 63 is simply fixed to the inner frame 211 with ordinary bolts, which presents two difficulties in disassembly: First, the connecting rod 54 obstructs the bolts, requiring the removal of the latch 63 by first removing the connecting rod and other components, a time-consuming and labor-intensive operation; second, after the escape window 100 is installed, to maintain the aesthetics of the vehicle interior, there is only a few millimeters of gap between the interior trim and the inner frame 211, making it impossible for tools to access the bolts and thus preventing the replacement of the glass latch 63.

[0061] Please refer to Figures 5 and 10. In response to the above-mentioned problems, in an optional embodiment of this application, the glass latch 63 further includes a male screw 633 and a female nut 634. The latch seat 631 has a mounting through hole 631c. The male screw 633 and the female nut 634 are both inserted into the mounting through hole 631c and screwed together. The head of the male screw 633 is exposed on the inner side of the inner frame 211, and the head of the female nut 634 is exposed on the outer side of the inner frame 211. For the first scenario, a small hole needs to be temporarily made on the connecting rod 54. A screwdriver can be used to loosen the female nut 634 by passing through the small hole, thereby separating the female nut 634 from the male screw 633, and the glass lock 63 can be removed. For the second scenario, a wrench can be used to hold the female nut 634 in place, and then a screwdriver can be used to turn the male screw 633, which will separate the male screw 633 from the female nut 634, and the glass lock 63 can be easily removed.

[0062] Preferably, in this application, at least two glass latches 63 are provided, and at least two glass latches 63 are spaced apart on the inner frame 211 along the height direction of the escape window 100. The glass lock body 61 can lock or unlock with any glass latch 63. Since each glass latch 63 is located at a different height position on the inner frame 211, after the movable glass 23 is raised and lowered, it can be locked by the glass lock body 61 with the corresponding glass latch 63, so that the movable glass 23 can be reliably stopped at different height positions after opening, so as to obtain windows 40 with different opening sizes to meet different usage needs.

[0063] In actual use, the movable glass 23 may break due to thermal expansion and contraction, external impact, or other reasons. Traditional techniques require disassembling the entire inner frame assembly 21 to repair broken glass, which is difficult, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. Please refer to Figure 8. In one embodiment of this application, the inner window assembly 20 further includes a first weatherstripping 24. The inner frame 211 has a first mounting groove 211a. The first weatherstripping 24 is detachably disposed in the first mounting groove 211a. The edge of the movable glass 23 is detachably disposed in the first mounting groove 211a and is detachably connected to the first weatherstripping 24.

[0064] It is understandable that the movable glass 23 is embedded in the first mounting groove 211a of the inner frame 211 by the first weatherstripping 24. On the one hand, the first weatherstripping 24 can provide support and positioning for the movable glass 23, so that the movable glass 23 can be installed stably. On the other hand, when the movable glass 23 is raised and lowered, the first weatherstripping 24 isolates the movable glass 23 from the inner frame 211, which can prevent the movable glass 23 from directly rubbing against the inner frame 211 and causing wear and abnormal noise. When the movable glass 23 is damaged and needs to be disassembled and replaced, first move the movable glass 23 down to the maximum opening position to expose the first weatherstrip 24 in the first mounting groove 211a. Then pull out the first weatherstrip 24, freeing up the space in the first mounting groove 211a for accommodating the first weatherstrip 24. On this basis, push the movable glass 23 to one side until the edge of the movable glass 23 on that side moves to the bottom of the first mounting groove 211a. At this time, the opposite side of the movable glass 23 will come out of the first mounting groove 211a. Then, pull out the movable glass 23 as a whole to complete the disassembly. The disassembly and removal operation is simple, convenient and labor-saving.

[0065] Furthermore, the inner window assembly 20 also includes a second weatherstripping 25, a middle frame 26, and a stop block 27. The inner frame 211 is also provided with a second mounting groove 211b. The second mounting groove 211b and the first mounting groove 211a are arranged side by side and spaced apart along the thickness direction of the inner frame 211. The end of the middle frame 26 is detachably disposed in the second mounting groove 211b. The stop block 27 is detachably disposed in the second mounting groove 211b and is matched with the middle frame 26 for limiting. The second weatherstripping 25 is detachably disposed in the second mounting groove 211b. The fixed glass 22 is arranged in the cavity formed by the inner frame 211 and the middle frame 26, and the edge of the fixed glass 22 is detachably disposed in the second mounting groove 211b and is detachably connected to the second weatherstripping 25.

[0066] Understandably, the stop block 27 can be detachably connected to the inner frame 211 using at least one of the following methods: screw connection, snap connection, etc. After installation, the stop block 27 is used to limit the middle frame 26 so that the middle frame 26 can cooperate with the inner frame 211 to install and position the fixed glass 22. The second weatherstripping 25 is used to support and position the fixed glass 22 in the second mounting groove 211b, improving the installation stability of the fixed glass 22 and providing the necessary buffering and shock absorption for the fixed glass 22, ensuring the safety and reliability of the fixed glass 22. When the fixed glass 22 is accidentally broken and needs to be disassembled and replaced, first remove the stop block 27, then remove the middle frame 26, and then pull the second weatherstripping 25 out of the second mounting groove 211b. At this time, the space in the second mounting groove 211b used to accommodate the second weatherstripping 25 is freed up. On this basis, push the fixed glass 22 to one side until the edge of the fixed glass 22 on that side moves to the bottom of the groove in the second mounting groove 211b. At this time, the opposite side of the fixed glass 22 will come out of the second mounting groove 211b. Then, the fixed glass 22 can be pulled out as a whole to complete the disassembly. The disassembly and removal operation is simple, convenient and labor-saving.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 8. Further, the inner frame also has a third mounting groove 211c. The third mounting groove 211c and the second mounting groove 211b are arranged side-by-side with intervals along the thickness direction of the inner frame 211, and the third mounting groove 211c is located on the side of the second mounting groove 211b away from the first mounting groove 211a. The glass latch 63 is housed within the third mounting groove 211c. The glass latch 63 is not visible from the front or back view of the escape window 100, thus improving aesthetics.

[0068] Please continue to refer to Figures 5 to 7. In addition, in order to seal the assembly gap between the movable glass 23 and the fixed glass 22 to prevent dust, rainwater and other external substances from entering the vehicle door, in one embodiment, the escape window 100 also includes at least one first sealing member 70. The first sealing member 70 is disposed on the middle frame 26, and one side of the first sealing member 70 is in sealing contact with the fixed glass 22, and the other side of the first sealing member 70 is in sealing contact with the movable glass 23.

[0069] For example, the first sealing element 70 can be any one of the following, but not limited to, siliconized wool strips, human-shaped wool strips, foam strips, etc., and can be flexibly selected according to actual needs.

[0070] Furthermore, the escape window 100 also includes two second seals 80, which are respectively installed on opposite sides of the middle frame 26. One second seal 80 is used to seal against the movable glass 23, and the other second seal 80 is used to seal against the fixed glass 22. Adding second seals 80 to the first seal 70 further improves the sealing performance of the movable glass 23 and the fixed glass 22.

[0071] For example, the second seal 80 uses silicone-treated felt, which has excellent sealing and waterproof properties, improving the overall durability and user experience of the escape window 100. The silicone-treated felt is treated with silicone oil, making the fibers less prone to water absorption, thus improving the sealing effect and making it more durable.

[0072] Furthermore, in order to seal the gap between the inner window assembly 20 and the outer frame assembly 10 when they are closed, thereby improving the overall sealing performance of the escape window 100, in another embodiment, the escape window 100 further includes at least one sealing strip 90. The sealing strip 90 is disposed on the inner frame 211, and when the inner window assembly 20 and the outer frame assembly 10 are closed, the sealing strip 90 and the outer frame 11 make sealing contact. The sealing strip 90 can be any one of, but not limited to, foam strips, silicone strips, or human-shaped strips, and can be flexibly selected according to actual needs.

[0073] In addition to the above, this application also provides a vehicle, which includes a body and an escape window 100 as described in any of the above embodiments, the escape window 100 being mounted on the body.

[0074] For example, the vehicle body has mounting ports on the left and right sides or at the rear, and the escape window 100 is installed at the mounting port.

[0075] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims, and the specification and drawings can be used to interpret the content of the claims.
