The present invention relates to an electrically-propelled car window.
In daily life, cars have become indispensable vehicles for modern people. Most families with children buy a car, to send the children to school or pick up the children after school, send the children to a babysitter's house, buy necessities, go to hospital, or the like.
However, with the progress of technologies, for convenience of use, car doors are now locked or unlocked in a remote control manner instead of the conventional manner of using keys.
Therefore, when there is a child in a car, and a driver needs to temporarily park and leave the child in the car in some unpredictable cases, for example, cases of self-fueling and paying in a convenience store, in such cases, if the driver forgets to bring the key and leaves the key inside the car, and the naughty child left in the car locks the car door, or if the driver leaves the key inside the car and locks himself or herself outside the car, the driver has to break the car window, and unlock the car window by opening the car door by stretching out his or her hand into the car from the broken window. Moreover, in this case, the driver needs to pay extra fees for car window repairing. Therefore, this problem needs to be urgently resolved.
A main objective of the present invention is to provide an electrically-propelled car window.

Referring to
The car door 90 includes a body 91 and a window frame 92 extending upwards from the body 91. The body 91 is provided with an installation space and a glass accommodation space. The glass accommodation space is in communication with the window frame 92. The glass window 10 is installed within the window frame 92 of the car door 90.
The control assembly 20 is installed in the installation space of the car door 90. The control assembly 20 includes: a control element 21, a drive element 22, a glass lifting member 23, a lifting switch element 24, and a power supply element 25. The drive element 22 is connected to the glass lifting member 23. The glass lifting member 23 is connected to the glass window 10. The drive element 22 can drive the glass lifting member 23 to make the glass window 10 descend. The control element 21 is an automobile microcontroller. The drive element 22 is a motor. The glass lifting member 23 is a glass lifter. The power supply element 25 is a power supply. The recognizing module 30 is installed on an inner side surface of the glass window 10.
Referring to
The recognizing module 30 includes: an acquisition element 31, a control unit 32, and a memory element 33. The acquisition element 31 is a fingerprint acquisition element. The control unit 32 is a microcontroller. The memory element 33 is a memory. The control unit 32 is electrically connected to the control element 21 and the power supply element 25. The power supply element 25 supplies power to the recognizing module 30. The acquisition element 31 and the memory element 33 are separately electrically connected to the control unit 32. When a finger is pressed on the recognizing module 30, the acquisition element 31 can acquire a fingerprint feature and generates an acquisition signal 311. The memory element 33 prestores recognition data 331 including the fingerprint feature of a user.
When the car door is locked from outside due to improper use, a user can press a finger on the recognizing module 30 installed on the glass window 10 outside the car, to make the acquisition element 31 of the recognizing module 30 acquire a fingerprint feature of the user and generate the acquisition signal 311. When detecting the acquisition signal 311 generated by the acquisition element 31, the control unit 32 of the recognizing module 30 reads the fingerprint feature in the acquisition signal 311, simultaneously reads, from the memory element 33, the recognition data 331 stored in the memory element 33, and then compares, in the control unit 32, whether the fingerprint feature included in the acquisition signal 311 matches the fingerprint feature included in the recognition data 331 in the memory element 33. When the fingerprint feature included in the acquisition signal 311 matches the fingerprint feature in the recognition data 331, the control unit 32 transmits a control signal 321 to the control element 21 of the control assembly 20. After receiving the control signal 321, the control element 21 drives the drive element 22 to operate to drive the glass lifting member 23 to lower the glass window 10 from the window frame 92 into the glass accommodation space of the body 91, so that the user can stretch out a hand into the car from the window frame 92 of the car door 90 to manually unlock and open the car door 90. Therefore, when improperly locked from outside, the car door 90 can be opened in a fingerprint recognition manner instead of breaking the glass window 10 installed on the car door 90.
In addition, when the car door 90 locked from outside is opened by using the recognizing module 30, the control unit 32 needs to compare whether the acquisition signal 311 matches the recognition data 331 stored in the memory element 33, and the glass window 10 descends into the car door 90 only when the acquisition signal 311 matches the recognition data 331. Therefore, the car door 90 locked from outside cannot be opened by a fingerprint that is not the fingerprint of the user. In this way, a case in which a person which is not the user opens the car door 90 locked from outside is prevented.
Moreover, when the user can manually operate the lifting switch element 24, the control element 21 drives the drive element 22 to operate to drive the glass lifting member 23 to raise the glass window 10 from the glass accommodation space of the car door 90 to the window frame 92, or lower the glass window 10 from the window frame 92 into the glass accommodation space, so as to raise or lower the glass window 10 by operating the lifting switch element 24.
It can be known according to the foregoing descriptions that, first, the car door 90 locked from outside can be opened by using the control assembly 20 and the recognizing module 30, and a case in which a person who is not the user can open the car door 90 locked from outside is prevented; and secondly, the glass window 10 can be raised or lowered by operating the lifting switch element 24 on the car door 90.
The foregoing are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the claims of the present invention, and therefore any other equivalent variation or modification made under the spirit disclosed in the present invention is subject to the appended claims.
