The present application claims priority to and all the benefits of Chinese Patent Application No. 202222368146.4, filed on Sep. 6, 2022, the entire contents of which are hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference.
The subject disclosure relates to the technical field of automotive manufacturing, and in particular to a quarter window assembly and an automobile with the same.
The A-pillar quarter window assembly of the existing automobile includes an internal guide rail, a guide groove, an external guide rail, rubber quarter windows and quarter window glass, and the like The side edge grooves of the rubber quarter window are snap-fitted with the quarter window glass, the exterior rail is vertically snapped into the interior guide rail, the protruding structure on one side of the outer guide rail is snap- fitted with the bottom of the guide groove, and one side of the outer guide rail is in contact with the buffer rib at the bottom of the rubber quarter window. Its installation step is as follows: firstly, assembling and fixing the inner guide rail and the rubber quarter window, secondly, and connecting the fasteners at both ends of the inner guide rail to the door panel, pushing the rubber quarter window into the door frame along the width direction of the vehicle body and fastening with screws, then snapping the guide groove into the groove of the inner guide rail, and finally, pushing the outer guide rail into a snapping slot at the bottom of the inner guide rail along the assembly direction, and the spring plate of the inner guide rail automatically springs into the notch. The entire installation process is relatively cumbersome, and the manufacturing efficiency is low, and no sealing structure is provided between the quarter window glass and the guide rail, so that the overall sealing performance of the quarter window is relatively poor.
The main purpose of the subject disclosure is to provide a quarter window assembly and an automobile with the same, aiming to improve the convenience of installation of the quarter window, improve the sealing performance of the quarter window, and achieve the effect of zero step difference at the same time.
In order to achieve the above purpose, the subject disclosure proposes a quarter window assembly for use on an automobile having a door sheet metal, including: a triangular glass; a guide rail having a groove and a fixing portion disposed close to the groove; a sealing member snapped into the groove, wherein a side edge of the triangular glass is fixed on the fixing portion and abuts against the sealing member; and a fixing assembly including a lifting member and a fixing bracket, wherein the lifting member is disposed on a bottom edge of the triangle glass and is suitable for being fixed on the door sheet metal, and wherein the fixing bracket is disposed on the guide rail and is suitable for fixing on the door sheet metal.
In order to achieve the above object, the subject disclosure also proposes an automobile including the quarter window assembly as described above, and the quarter window assembly includes: a door sheet metal; a triangular glass; a guide rail having a groove and a fixing portion disposed close to the groove; a sealing member snapped into the groove, wherein a side edge of the triangular glass is fixed on the fixing portion and abuts against the sealing member; and a fixing assembly including a lifting member and a fixing bracket, wherein the lifting member is disposed on a bottom edge of the triangle glass and is suitable for being fixed on the door sheet metal, and wherein the fixing bracket is disposed on the guide rail and is suitable for fixing on the door sheet metal.
During assembly, the lifting member can be fixed on the bottom edge of the triangular glass by the way of bonding or snapping, and the like in advance, and the fixing bracket is fixed on the guide rail by the way of welding or riveting, or the like, then the sealing member is snapped or bonded in the groove of the guide rail and the side edge of the triangular glass is fixed on the fixing portion of the guide rail by bonding and the like to assemble into the whole quarter window assembly. The whole assembly process is relatively simple, improving the convenience of installation of the quarter window.
At the same time, only a side edge of the triangular glass is fixed on the guide rail, and the bottom edge of the triangular glass is carried by the lifting member, so that the whole quarter window achieves a frameless effect, and side edge of the triangular glass can be fixed on the guide rail by bonding, so that the surface of the guide rail can be flush with the surface of the triangular glass, achieving the effect of zero step difference and improving the overall aesthetics.
In order to illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the subject disclosure or the prior art more clearly, the following will briefly introduce the accompanying drawings that need to be used in the description of the embodiments or the prior art. Obviously, the accompanying drawings in the following description are only some embodiments of the subject disclosure, and it is also possible for those skilled in the art to obtain other drawings according to the structures shown in these drawings without creative work.
10. triangular glass; 20. guide rail; 30. sealing member; 40. fixing assembly; 20a. groove; 21. fixing portion; 41. lifting member; 42. fixing bracket; 31. first sealing strip; 32. second sealing strip; 20b. limiting opening; 301. snapping block; 21. supporting section; 22. sealing section.
The realization of the purpose, functional characteristics and advantages of the subject disclosure will be further illustrated in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the subject disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the subject disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a portion of the embodiments of the subject disclosure, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in the subject disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the scope protected by the subject disclosure.
It should be noted that if there is a directional indication (such as up, down, left, right, front, back . . . ) involved in the embodiment of the subject disclosure, the directional indication is only used to explain the relative positional relationship, motion conditions, etc. between the components in a certain posture (as shown in the accompanying drawing). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change therewith accordingly.
In addition, if there are descriptions involving “first”, “second”, etc. in the embodiments of the subject disclosure, the descriptions of “first”, “second”, etc. are for descriptive purposes only, and cannot be understood indicate or suggest their relative importance or implying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, the features defined with “first” and “second” may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of these features. In addition, if “and/or” appearing in the whole text means including three parallel schemes, then taking “A and/or B” as an example, it includes scheme A, or scheme B, or a scheme that both A and B are satisfied simultaneously.
