Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive technology, and in particular to a mechanism for raising and locking a convertible top. Background Technology

[0002] A convertible sports car is a sports car with a folding, openable roof. There are two types: soft top and hard top. Soft tops are mostly made of canvas or plastic and are lightweight and have a small storage space. When the soft top of a convertible sports car is open, the upper parts need to be lifted in advance to prevent scratching the car's accessories before the soft top is opened and stored. Conversely, when it is lowered, the soft top is opened and closed.

[0003] Regarding the opening and closing structure currently used for soft tops, the weight of the soft top components exerts downward pressure on the internal structure, resulting in structural instability and easy swaying after it is in place. Especially under the influence of wind resistance generated at high speeds, the soft top may produce abnormal noises, fail to open and close properly, or even lift up, leading to a high repair rate and a poor user experience.

[0030] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0032] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0033] Example 1, referring to Figures 1 to 8 This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a car convertible lifting and locking mechanism, including a frame 1, and there are two frames 1, which are symmetrical about the left and right sides of the vehicle frame. The frame 1 has a double track 2 inside, and a positioning area for fixing the frame is provided on the lower end face of the frame 1, so as to fix the frame 1 to the vehicle frame by bolts. The upper end face of the frame 1 has a support plate 3 that slides to firmly connect the soft top and play an active traction role during the opening and closing of the soft top.

[0034] Furthermore, the frame 1 is equipped with sliding members 11 that slide with the double-track 2, and soft top ribs 12 are fixed inside the multiple sets of sliding members 11. After the support plate 3 is raised, the support plate 3 is driven to slide backward by the vehicle driving force, which in turn drives several sets of passive sliding members 11 to slide backward, and drives the soft top to open backward and retract through several soft top ribs 12. After it is in place, the support plate 3 lowers and locks. Conversely, the raised support plate 3 acts as the active force, and drives the soft top to close forward through several sets of sliding members 11 and soft top ribs 12. After it is in place, the support plate 3 lowers and locks.

[0035] Specifically, the double-track 2 is equipped with a lifting assembly for raising the support plate 3, including an active slider 41 that slides within the double-track 2, and a grooved track 42 formed inside the active slider 41. The grooved track 42 is distributed along the inner side of the active slider 41 in a horizontal-then-upward manner. A support frame 43 is provided below the support plate 3. The support frame 43 is made of lightweight and reinforced material, and a roller 44 that rotates on the outer side of the support frame 43 and rolls with the grooved track 42. The roller 44 is made of composite sound-absorbing material to reduce the noise generated by the roller 44 rolling in the grooved track 42. A connecting rod 45 is provided inside the support frame 43, and a boat-shaped slider 46 that slides with the double-track 2 rotates inside the connecting rod 45. The corners of the boat-shaped slider 46 are rounded to improve the smoothness of the boat-shaped slider 46 sliding within the double-track 2, reduce the noise generated by friction, and improve quietness.

[0036] In use: When the soft top needs to be opened, the vehicle-mounted drive power source pre-drives the active slider 41 to slide towards the rear of the vehicle in one of the two tracks 2 inside the frame 1. The active slider 41 forces the roller 44 on the support frame 43 to slide in the groove track 42 until the roller 44 slides to the highest point of the groove track 42. At the same time, the boat-shaped slider 46 on the connecting rod 45 changes state in the other track of the two tracks 2. The roller 44 that has reached the highest point drives the support frame 43 to rise upward with the boat-shaped slider 46 as the rotation center.

[0037] The double track 2 is equipped with a stop 22. When the active slider 41 moves forward towards the front of the vehicle, when the driven slider 53 reaches the position of the stop 22, the active slider 41 and the driven slider 53 separate and can no longer follow the active slider 41 to continue moving forward towards the front of the vehicle. The active slider 41 continues to move towards the front of the vehicle, and the roller 44 is locked in the groove track 42 in the active slider 41 and is in the initial position. At this time, the support frame 43 descends and resets.

[0038] Specifically, a limit plate 8 is fixed to one side of the support frame 43 by fasteners, and a torsion spring 9 is snapped onto the limit plate 8 to effectively support the torsion spring 9. The other end of the torsion spring 9 is snapped onto the support frame 43 to provide effective elastic support for the support frame 43 and the support plate 3, and also to assist in supporting the weight of the soft top fabric. A connector 10 is fixed to the other side of the support frame 43, and the connector 10 is used to pad the support plate 3. Then, the support frame 43 drives the support plate 3 to rise through the connector 10 to prevent the support plate 3 from scratching the vehicle accessories during sliding. When the support plate 3 is raised to the position, it is driven by the vehicle's drive power source. The support plate 3 acts as the active force, successively driving several sets of sliding parts 11 and soft top ribs 12 to drive the soft top opening and closing action, making it smoother and more seamless.

[0039] Example 2, refer to Figures 1 to 8 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.

[0040] Specifically, the double track 2 is also equipped with a locking component, including a driven slider 53 that slides in the double track 2, and a straight boss 51 that is placed horizontally inside the active slider 41. The double track 2 has a track notch 52, and a locking shaft 54 ​​that slides with the straight boss 51 is inserted in the driven slider 53. A spring 55 is sleeved on the inner side of the locking shaft 54, and a cap 56 that is fixed to the spring 55 is engaged on the inner side of the locking shaft 54.

[0041] In use: After the support frame 43 drives the support plate 3 to be raised to the position, the locking shaft 54 ​​moves to the right under the elastic compression force of the spring 55. When the active slider 41 slides to the rear of the vehicle under the power of the vehicle drive source, the straight protrusion 51 on the active slider 41 forces the locking shaft 54 ​​to be squeezed to the left. When it reaches the corresponding reserved track gap 52 on the double track 2, the locking shaft 54 ​​is blocked by the track gap 52, so the driven slider 53 cannot move backward. At this time, the spring 55 is squeezed and the driven slider 53 is in the locked state.

[0042] When the active slider 41 continues to slide towards the rear of the vehicle under the power of the vehicle drive source, the straight protrusion 51 on the active slider 41 passes over the locking shaft 54 ​​and disengages from it. Under the elastic force of the spring 55 that resets on the cap 56, the locking shaft 54 ​​quickly resets to the right. At this time, the corresponding reserved track notch 52 on the double track 2 no longer blocks the locking shaft 54. At this time, the driven slider 53 is in the unlocked state, and the active slider 41 and the driven slider 53 can move towards the rear of the vehicle synchronously.

[0043] Specifically, the active slider 41 is fixed with a main electrode plate 13 near the outer side of the grooved track 42, and a secondary electrode plate 14 is fixed with a support frame 43 near the outer side of the roller 44. The main electrode plate 13 and the secondary electrode plate 14 are in contact and energized to trigger the action. When the roller 44 on the support frame 43 rolls to the highest point of the grooved track 42 on the active slider 41, the main electrode plate 13 and the secondary electrode plate 14 are squeezed to trigger the action, thereby realizing the triggering mechanism and improving the continuity of subsequent actions.

[0044] Specifically, the driven slider 53 is provided with a limiting component for the reverse restriction of the support plate 3, including a rocker arm shaft 61 sleeved in the rocker arm sleeve of the driven slider 53, and a rocker arm 62 hinged to the outside of the rocker arm sleeve via the rocker arm shaft 61. A ratchet 63 is fixed on the inside of the rocker arm shaft 61, and a pawl 64 is snapped on the outside of the ratchet 63. A compression spring 65 is fixed on the outside of the pawl 64, and a micro motor 66 is fixed on the inside of the pawl 64.

[0045] During the lifting of the support frame 43, the support frame 43, which is lifted with the boat-shaped slider 46 as the rotation center, drives the rocker arm shaft 61 to rotate upward within the rocker arm sleeve via the rocker arm 62. The rotating rocker arm shaft 61 drives the ratchet 63 to move synchronously, which in turn forces the pawl 64 on the compression spring 65 to skip teeth on the rotating ratchet 63. At this time, the micro motor 66 on the pawl 64 is in the unlocked state, and the pawl 64 and the ratchet 63 provide reverse restriction measures for the rotating rocker arm shaft 61. Then, through the rocker arm shaft 61 and the rocker arm 62, reverse restriction measures are provided for the rotating and lifting support frame 43 and its support plate 3 until the roller 44 on the support frame 43 slides to the highest point of the groove track 42 on the active slider 41. At this time, the main electrode plate 13 and the auxiliary electrode plate 14 squeeze and trigger the micro motor 66 to open and lock the pawl 64, ensuring the stability of the support frame 43 and support plate 3 during the lifting process, as well as the firmness of the state after lifting.

[0046] When the support plate 3 descends and resets, the roller 44 on the support frame 43 slides to the lowest point of the groove track 42 on the active slider 41. Before the main electrode plate 13 and the auxiliary electrode plate 14 are disengaged, the micro motor 66 is triggered to start, unlocking the pawl 64 and forcing the pawl 64 to disengage from the ratchet 63. The spring 65 is then squeezed, releasing the reverse restriction on the rocker arm shaft 61 on the ratchet 63. The descending and reset support frame 43 drives the rocker arm shaft 61 and the ratchet 63 to reverse and reset through the rocker arm 62. This provides stable support for the support frame 43 and support plate 3 during the descent and reset process, preventing them from shaking or tilting under force.

[0047] An E-type retaining ring 15 is snapped onto the outer side of the rocker arm shaft 61 to secure the other end of the rocker arm shaft 61 and prevent it from falling off the rocker arm sleeve. A protruding retaining head 16 is fixed at both ends of the rocker arm shaft 61, and a recessed retaining groove 17 is provided on the inner side of the rocker arm 62 to engage with the protruding retaining head 16. This facilitates the insertion of the rocker arm shaft 61 into the rocker arm 62 and ensures that the rocker arm shaft 61 and the rocker arm 62 rotate coaxially, ensuring the consistency of subsequent reverse limiting actions. A cover 18 is fixed to the inner side of the driven slider 53, which is fixed to the compression spring 65 and the micro motor 66, to protect the internal components.

[0048] A guide rail 19 is horizontally placed on the outer side of the driven slider 53, and a rotating head is located on the inner side of the driving slider 41. A guide rail block 20 that slides with the guide rail 19 is fixed on the inner side of the rotating head. During the sliding of the driving slider 41, the guide rail block 20 on the rotating head slides and connects the guide rail 19 on the driven slider 53, which plays a sliding limit role between the driving slider 41 and the driven slider 53, ensuring the stable operation of both, especially the subsequent synchronous sliding action of the driving slider 41 and the driven slider 53, so that their actions are coordinated.

[0049] Example 3, referring to Figures 1 to 8 This is the third embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the first two embodiments.

[0050] Specifically, the driven slider 53 is equipped with a lubrication assembly for lubricating the double-track 2 and the lifting assembly, including an oil groove 71 opened in the driven slider 53, and an oil filling pipe 72 connected to the oil groove 71 and sealed by a sealing cap 21. A micro oil pump 73 is embedded in the reserved groove of the driven slider 53. The oil suction port of the micro oil pump 73 is connected to the oil groove 71 through the oil suction pipe. When the roller 44 on the support frame 43 slides to the highest point of the groove track 42 on the active slider 41, the main electrode plate 13 and the auxiliary electrode plate 14 squeeze and trigger the micro oil pump 73 and the micro valve 74 to open, improving the continuity of the oil spraying lubrication action. Oil spraying lubrication is only performed when the soft top is open and the support frame 43 is in the raised state, saving the cost of lubricating oil spraying and also avoiding excessive lubricating oil spraying and overflow.

[0051] The oil outlet of the micro oil pump 73 is connected to an oil injection pipe 75 via a micro valve 74, and the end of the oil injection pipe 75 is connected to an oil nozzle 76, which is located diagonally above the boat-shaped slider 46, for oil injection lubrication of the boat-shaped slider 46 and the double-track 2.

[0052] In use: The micro oil pump 73, which is triggered to open, supplies lubricating oil from the oil tank 71 through the oil suction pipe, and then through the micro valve 74 in the open state into the oil spray pipe 75. The oil spray nozzle 76 sprays the lubricating oil onto the boat-shaped slider 46. The boat-shaped slider 46, which rotates and slides in the double-track 2, carries the lubricating oil onto the double-track 2, thereby achieving the lubrication effect of the double-track 2 and the boat-shaped slider 46. This ensures the smooth lifting of the support frame 43 and the smooth, coordinated sliding of the active slider 41 and the driven slider 53 in the double-track 2 after oiling, improving its smoothness and quietness.

[0053] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
