Automobile window glass
View Patent ↗The present invention relates to a window glass for a vehicle, attached to a body flange of the vehicle at a circumferential edge portion thereof, including: an infrared ray shielding portion which reflects or absorbs infrared rays on a large part of the window; and electromagnetic wave transmitting portions having a substantially rectangular shape, which transmit at least a predetermined electromagnetic wave, at each of lower end portions on both sides in a width direction of the vehicle.
1. A window glass for a vehicle, attached to a body flange of the vehicle at a circumferential edge portion thereof, comprising:
an infrared ray shielding portion which reflects or absorbs infrared rays on a large part of the window; and
electromagnetic wave transmitting portions having a substantially rectangular shape, which transmit at least a predetermined electromagnetic wave, at each of lower end portions on both sides in a width direction of the vehicle, wherein the electromagnetic wave transmitting portions are frequency selective surfaces in which a thermal wave reflective film is formed in a mesh-shape.
2. The window glass for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein when a wavelength in the air at a central frequency of a frequency band of the predetermined electromagnetic wave to be transmitted is λ0, a shortening coefficient of wavelength in a glass is k (provided that, k=0.64), and a wavelength on a glass is λg=λ0·k,
an upper edge of the electromagnetic wave transmitting portion is spaced 2λg
or more away from the body flange which is positioned at lower side thereof, and
an inner lateral edge of the electromagnetic wave transmitting portion is spaced 3.6λg or more away from the body flange which is positioned sideways thereof.
3. The window glass for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein an upper edge of the electromagnetic transmitting portion is spaced 170 mm or more away from the body flange which is positioned at lower side thereof, and
an inner lateral edge of the electromagnetic wave transmitting portion is spaced 300 mm or more away from the body flange which is positioned sideways thereof.
4. A window glass for a vehicle, attached to a body flange of the vehicle at a circumferential edge portion thereof, comprising:
an infrared ray shielding portion which reflects or absorbs infrared rays on a large part of the window; and
electromagnetic wave transmitting portions having a substantially rectangular shape, which transmit at least a predetermined electromagnetic wave, at each of lower end portions on both sides in a width direction of the vehicle, wherein
an electromagnetic wave transmitting connecting portion connects the electromagnetic wave transmitting portions on both sides in a width direction of the vehicle at a lower end portion of the window glass for a vehicle, and where the infrared ray shielding portion is not formed, and
wherein a distance between an upper edge of the electromagnetic wave transmitting connecting portion and the body flange which is positioned at lower side thereof is smaller than a distance between the upper edge of the electromagnetic wave transmitting portion and the body flange which is positioned at lower side thereof.
5. The window glass for a vehicle according to claim 4 , wherein the upper edge of the electromagnetic wave transmitting connecting portion is spaced 95 mm or more away from the body flange which is positioned at lower side thereof.
6. The window glass for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the infrared ray shielding portion is positioned inwards from a tip portion of the body flange.
7. The window glass for a vehicle according to claim 4 , wherein the electromagnetic wave transmitting portion is a frequency selective surface in which a thermal wave reflective film is formed in a mesh-shape.
8. The window glass for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the window glass for the vehicle is a windshield which is placed at the front side of a vehicle.
9. The window glass for a vehicle according to claim 4 , wherein when a wavelength in the air at a central frequency of a frequency band of the predetermined electromagnetic wave to be transmitted is λ0, a shortening coefficient of wavelength in a glass is k (provided that, k=0.64), and a wavelength on a glass is λg=λ0·k,
an upper edge of the electromagnetic wave transmitting portion is spaced 2λg
or more away from the body flange which is positioned at lower side thereof, and
an inner lateral edge of the electromagnetic wave transmitting portion is spaced 3.6λg or more away from the body flange which is positioned sideways thereof.
10. The window glass for a vehicle according to claim 4 , wherein an upper edge of the electromagnetic transmitting portion is spaced 170 mm or more away from the body flange which is positioned at lower side thereof, and
an inner lateral edge of the electromagnetic wave transmitting portion is spaced 300 mm or more away from the body flange which is positioned sideways thereof.
11. The window glass for a vehicle according to claim 4 , wherein the infrared ray shielding portion is positioned inwards from a tip portion of the body flange.
12. The window glass for a vehicle according to claim 4 , wherein the electromagnetic wave transmitting portion is a frequency selective surface in which a thermal wave reflective film is formed in a mesh-shape.
13. The window glass for a vehicle according to claim 4 , wherein the window glass for the vehicle is a windshield which is placed at the front side of a vehicle.
