Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a structure for mounting a window member for a vehicle on a vehicle body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a window member for a vehicle, a peripheral portion of a glass plate is directly adhered to an opening of an outer plate of the vehicle body, or a mounting metal fitting is adhered to the peripheral portion of the glass plate. The glass plate was fixed directly to the car body.

In recent years, a windshield molding, a gasket, a weather strip and the like (hereinafter collectively referred to as molding) are integrally formed around a glass plate, which is commonly called a module assembly window (hereinafter referred to as MAW). , Window members such as glass windows with moldings are becoming popular, and when mounting this MAW on the vehicle body, the glass plate is still attached to the opening of the outer plate of the vehicle body, or the metal fittings are attached to the glass plate to attach the metal plate. It was a structure that could be attached to a vehicle.

Further, in this MAW, since the molding is integrally formed on the glass plate, it is not necessary to directly attach the glass plate to the vehicle body to fix the glass plate to the vehicle body, but the molding itself is attached to the vehicle body. As a result, the glass plate is substantially fixed to the vehicle.

[0005]

In recent years, a so-called flash surface has been promoted in which the boundary between a vehicle body and a window member mounted in the opening of the vehicle body is mounted without a step, and a so-called flash surface is being promoted. It has been proposed to deeply press the outer plate into a predetermined shape so as to secure the mounting position of the window member to the vehicle body and perform this flash surface formation.

However, if the portion where the window member is joined to the outer panel of the vehicle body is the glass plate surface or the thick portion of the molding to which the glass plate is mounted, the attachment adjustment to the opening portion of the vehicle body is not possible. It is difficult to eliminate the step between the window surface and the vehicle body without accurately measuring the dimensions of the flange of the opening of the vehicle body and the deep bending press of the flange portion. There was a drawback that the setting of the structure had many restrictions, and the degree of freedom in the body design was lost.

Further, in the case where the thick wall portion of the molding is provided with the fittings and the adhesive, it is necessary to provide a joining margin capable of sufficiently accommodating the joining means such as the fittings. In order to achieve both the flash surface and the flash surface, it is necessary to deeply press the outer skin of the vehicle body near the opening, and this deep bending is extremely difficult. Had a drawback that it became narrower.

On the other hand, when the glass plate and the vehicle body are attached to each other with an adhesive, in order to prevent the adhesive from being deteriorated by ultraviolet rays, a black ceramic paint is applied to the periphery of the glass plate corresponding to the adhesive portion. It was necessary to block the sunlight hitting the adhesive by applying such means. This coating of the peripheral surface of the glass plate such as black ceramic coating is, of course, expensive and time-consuming to cover, but it has the drawback that the effective opening of the window becomes narrow. Was.

The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art, and to newly provide a vehicle window mounting structure which has not been known. .

[0010]

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and forms a window member in which a molding is mounted in the peripheral portion of a plate-like member and an opening portion of a vehicle. A vehicle window mounting structure having a vehicle body outer plate and a joining means for joining the window member and the vehicle body outer plate to each other, wherein the window member is attached to an opening of the vehicle. The molding provided in the peripheral portion has a thinner outer peripheral side than the plate-shaped body mounting portion, and the window member is joined to the vehicle body outer plate by the joining means at the thin portion. A new window mounting structure is provided.

As described above, the structure for attaching the window member to the vehicle body can be obtained as in each of the above-mentioned embodiments, but it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. The window member in the present invention is not particularly limited whether it is a plate-shaped body integrally molded with a molding or a pre-molded molding mounted on the plate-shaped body. In the case of the present invention, since the window member is fixed to the vehicle body by joining the molding and the vehicle body, in consideration of the fact that the plate-shaped body is firmly fixed, the molding is integrally formed on the plate-shaped body. It is preferable to use a window member.

Integral molding, which is preferably used as a method of mounting the plate-shaped body and the molding, means that the plate-shaped body is provided in a mold and resin is injected into the cavity of the mold to form the plate-shaped body. It refers to injection molding in which a molding is attached to the peripheral portion of the body, resin extrusion molding in which a molding machine is orbited around the peripheral portion of the plate-shaped body, or reaction injection molding, and these various methods. Is appropriately selected and the molding is attached to the plate-shaped body.

In the vehicle body outer plate according to the present invention, a stepped portion is provided at a position where the window member is attached so as to fit the window member, and a flange portion is formed. The thick wall of the molding to which the plate-like body is mounted is formed. The step may be provided uniformly by the thickness of the portion, or the step may be provided in two steps or more according to the shapes of the thick portion and the thin portion of the molding. In particular, from the viewpoint that the joining means can be made small and the flash surface can be easily formed, it is preferable that the outer panel of the vehicle body is provided with two steps in stages according to the shape of the molding.

The joining means in the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it can reliably join the vehicle body and the window member, and a double-sided adhesive tape interposed between the joining portions of the two,
One kind or a plurality of kinds of various joining means such as a synthetic resin adhesive or mechanical means such as fitting of a clip mounting portion on the vehicle body side and a clip on the molding side are used.

Here, as the adhesive, for example, as a synthetic resin, at least one kind of polyurethane type, polyester type, polyamide type, phenol type, acrylic type, epoxy type, cyanoacrylate type, silicone type, etc. or a combination of two or more types thereof is used. Etc. are preferably used.

Further, the molding in the present invention is, as described above, a gasket formed around the plate-like body,
It is a general term for moldings, weather strips, etc., and this molding may be provided on the entire circumference of the plate-like body, or may be interrupted in the middle of the entire circumference, or may be plate-like. It may be one piece of the body or provided on a predetermined number of sides.

Although soft PVC is generally used as the molding material for the present invention, vinyl acetate, a copolymer of vinyl chloride and vinyl acetate, a copolymer of vinyl chloride and ethylene, a copolymer of vinyl chloride and ethylene and vinyl acetate, vinyl chloride. A copolymer of propylene and propylene, an elastomer such as a polyolefin-based elastomer, a polyurethane-based elastomer, a polyester-based elastomer, and a polyamide-based elastomer, polyurethane, chlorinated polyethylene, ethylene-propylene-diene-terpolymer (EPDM), and other rubber materials may be used. Furthermore, if necessary, a mixture of two or more of these materials may be used.

Further, additives based on these may be used, and other thermoplastic resins may be blended in order to enhance fluidity, and the thermoplastic resin to be blended may be chlorinated. Polyethylene, urethane modified vinyl chloride resin, urethane resin, polyester polymer, acrylic resin, polyester elastomer,
Rubber containing at least NBR or SBR,
At least one kind of EVA and ABS or a mixture of two or more kinds thereof is used.

The molding of the present invention may be provided with an insert member so that the rigidity, shape retention and strength of the molding can be maintained. The insert member covers the entire area of the molding. It may be provided or a part thereof, for example, it may be provided only in a portion corresponding to a thin portion of the molding having particularly low rigidity, or in the middle of the entire circumference of the molding. It can be cut off, or can be provided only on one side of the mall or on a predetermined number of sides.

Further, such an insert member may be completely embedded in the molding or may be partially exposed from the molding, and therefore, the molding is joined to the outer skin of the vehicle body. When the thin portion, which is the portion, is the exposed portion of the insert member, the insert member and the vehicle body outer plate may be joined by the joining means.

The material of the insert member is not particularly limited as long as it can maintain the rigidity and strength of the molding, but is made of a plate-shaped metal material, hard synthetic resin, or the like. Is particularly preferable.

The plate in the present invention may be a flat plate or a curved plate, and the material thereof may be single plate glass, laminated glass, tempered glass, double glazing or the like. A glass plate, a synthetic resin plate, or a laminated plate combining these is used. Examples of synthetic resins include polycarbonates, polystyrenes,
So-called organic transparent materials such as polymethylmethacrylates can be used, and at least two or more laminated materials can also be used.

[0029]

According to the present invention, the outer peripheral side of the end plate of the molding is a thin-walled portion, and the thin-walled portion and the vehicle body outer plate are joined together by the joining means. Compared with the case where the thick portion or the plate-like body is the joint portion with the vehicle body outer plate, the joint margin required for the joint portion of the vehicle body can be reduced, and therefore the vehicle interior can be widened.

Further, in order to obtain a joining margin for joining the vehicle body outer panel and the window member to the outer panel of the vehicle body, the vehicle body outer panel does not have to have a large step due to the bending, and the bending process is performed. There is no need for fine precision in the design. Therefore, the difference in shape between the flange of the vehicle body outer plate and the molding can be easily resolved by changing the design of the molding, and it is possible to realize a flash surface that eliminates the step between the vehicle body and the window member without difficult deep bending. realizable.

When the window member and the vehicle body outer plate are directly joined to each other by an adhesive such as polyurethane, the vehicle body outer plate and the plate-like body are joined together with each other in order to prevent the adhesive from being deteriorated by receiving ultraviolet rays. It was necessary to paint the plate-shaped body with black ceramic paint, but since the joint part is the molding thin part on the outer peripheral side from the end surface of the plate-shaped body attached to the molding, black ceramic coating is the minimum, It is possible to secure a substantial area of the effective opening portion of the window portion.

Furthermore, since the portion where the window member is joined to the vehicle body is on the outer peripheral side of the portion where the plate-shaped body of the molding is mounted, the rigidity of the thin-walled portion of the molding where the plate-shaped body is not mounted is weak. However, the rigidity of the molding is maintained because the vehicle body outer plate is in contact with this portion, and the rigidity of the molding can be secured regardless of the presence or absence of an insert member in the molding.

Further, since the position of the joint portion between the window member and the vehicle body does not come into contact with the plate-like body, when such a vehicle is dismantled, the molding portion is cut off and peeled off.
The disassembling work can be easily performed while preventing the plate-like body from being damaged, and the plate-like body and the vehicle body can be recycled.
