Usually, I drive more, and I have to wait until I get on the bus, so I feel very troublesome when I am in a hurry. Therefore, we will pay special attention to how other models are doing in this respect, and always feel that luxury brands should perform better. What is the actual situation? Recently, I went to various houses to spy on the military situation and see how everyone’s frameless frame solves the contradiction between glass and rubber strip.
Why is there a contradiction between glass and rubber strip?
It is impossible to fit perfectly with the door frame simply, so whether it is framed or frameless, the gap between them should be plugged with rubber strips to prevent rain, dust, wind and noise from entering the carriage from the gap. There is a frame because the door frame is hard enough, so the door frame can be pressed directly on the adhesive tape. Frameless glass is easy to shake, and the glass is directly pressed on the adhesive tape, which is easy to leak air and rain at high speed. Therefore, frameless glass generally has two layers of adhesive tape, and the glass needs to be stuffed in the middle of the two layers of adhesive tape.
For this reason, each family has adopted different methods.
Let’s talk about how to open the door first
The traditional glass sinking type is used. When the owner touches the induction module or pulls the keyless entry on the door handle, the glass will drop 2-3cm to avoid the outer sealing strip on the frame. At the same time, there is also a position sensor in it. If it is not lowered to the right position, it can’t be opened. It needs to be pulled again to really open it.
The key of this design lies in the sinking speed of the glass. Like this one, it is not particularly fast, and the door opening action will be somewhat unsmooth. You need to wait for the glass to fall in place before opening the door.
Poor domestic experience
I thought that the world is a family, and the experience of CC should be similar, but after trying it, it is really not the case. CC opens the door in the same way as CC does, but the speed of glass falling is slower than that. Even if it is slow, CC seems to castrate the glass position sensor, and the glass can be pulled open without being completely lowered.
This is more embarrassing. If you pull it away quickly, the glass will almost scrape the outer layer of the car frame, and such deformation will accelerate the aging of the rubber strip for a long time. Moreover, when the door is closed, the rear door glass of CC will clip the outer rubber strip at the end between the two rubber strips, leaving a gap the size of a little finger. I am more worried about whether the rain will flow in through the small hole. The owner of CC can leave a message to discuss with us.
Being a group has a good experience.
After experiencing several brands, I think the best experience is that although they belong to the same group, they all use sunken structures. However, the falling speed of the glass is really very fast, which brings a nearly framed smooth experience without scraping the rubber strip. Moreover, it may be that you have enough confidence in your own speed, and the starting time of sinking is different. It starts to descend at the moment when you pull the door handle, thus avoiding the problem of accidental touch.
Why do you want to mention this matter by mistake? I have met it more than once. When the car washer was putting on foam, he accidentally touched the sensor on the door handle, dropped it a little, and the foam flowed in …/(ㄒㄒㄒ)/~ ~
The solution is the simplest and rudest.
Most manufacturers choose glass sinking structure for frameless structure, which only means that this mechanism is too complicated and it is a waste of life. The simplest and rudest way is chosen, which narrows the outer rubber strip directly, and designs a cutting angle with an inclination of 45. At the same time, the glass is pushed out directly against the cutting angle.
For this solution, the more violent the door is, the better, because if it is closed slowly, the glass will get stuck outside the outer rubber strip and not be squeezed in. This scheme is also very close to the box, but the action needs to be rude.
Yes, the combination
Then a comprehensive solution is chosen. On the one hand, the sinking solution is adopted (not as fast as the image), on the other hand, the outer rubber strip is narrowed, the descending distance is reduced, and the smoothness of door opening action is improved; And if necessary, if you are impatient, you can also rub the rubber strip to open it like this.
However, this seemingly perfect design is not perfect, and there is still a certain chance that the door will rub against the outer rubber strip when opening the door during the live experience.
If you also drive a frameless car, you might as well talk to us about any interesting phenomena when your car opens and closes the door.
