Abstract

The heating wire structure for glass includes a sheet of glass in a vehicle having a battery located within the vehicle and configured to apply power to heating wires located on the glass according to a user request, the heating wires located in one direction on the glass and connected to terminals of the battery in series, vertical bars located at both ends of the glass so that the heating wires are connected to the vertical bars, antenna lines connected to the antenna, at least some of the antenna lines including intersection points formed by intersecting the heating wires, and a ceramic layer formed at intersecting areas between the heating wire lines and the antenna lines to be located between the heating wire lines and the antenna lines.

Claims (13)

1. A heating wire structure for glass of a vehicle having a battery located within the vehicle and configured to apply power according to a user request, the heating wire structure comprising:

a sheet of glass;

heating wires located in one direction on the glass and connected to terminals of the battery in series;

vertical bars located at both ends of the glass so that the heating wires are connected to the vertical bars;

antenna lines connected to an antenna, at least some of the antenna lines including intersection points formed by intersecting the heating wires; and

a ceramic layer formed at intersecting areas where the heating wires and the antenna lines intersect each other, the ceramic layer configured to be located between the heating wires and the antenna lines,

wherein the ceramic layer is configured to match in shape each intersecting area and to extend along at least one of the antenna lines or the heating wires by a predetermined range, and the ceramic layers formed at the intersecting areas are not connected to each other such that a surface of the ceramic layers exposed to an outside of the glass is reduced.

2. The heating wire structure for glass of claim 1 , wherein the ceramic layer is formed of a material having the same properties as an enamel part.

3. The heating wire structure for glass of claim 1 , wherein the battery provides a voltage of 42V-48V.

4. The heating wire structure for glass of claim 1 , wherein the heating wires include a plurality of heating wire lines disposed in a horizontal direction of the glass.

5. The heating wire structure for glass of claim 1 , wherein the at least some of the antenna lines are disposed in a vertical direction of the glass.

6. The heating wire structure for glass of claim 1 , wherein the terminals connected to a cathode and an anode of the battery are located at upper and lower ends of one side part of the glass, respectively.

7. The heating wire structure for glass of claim 1 , further comprising an enamel part formed to surround an edge of the glass.
