[0044] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0045] Example 1
[0046] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a sliding sunroof device includes a sunroof base 1, a window body 2, a gear opening and closing mechanism 3, a driving component 4, and a limiting component 5.
[0047] The skylight base 1 is made of aluminum-plastic composite material or injection molded from PVC material. The skylight base 1 has a roof connection part 101 and a square opening 102 extending along a first direction on the roof connection part 101. The roof connection part 101 is machined with mounting holes for installation onto the roof slab 6 using bolts 7. The square opening 102 connects the interior and exterior spaces, enabling ventilation. Specifically, for installing the window frame 2, the outer walls of the left and right sides of the square opening 102 are respectively provided with grooves 103 parallel to a second direction.
[0048] The window 2 is mounted on the top of the square opening 102 and can move along the second direction to open and close the square opening 102. Racks 205 parallel to the second direction are mounted on the left and right sides 203 of the window 2. Preferably, the left and right sides of the window 2 have downwardly protruding sides 203, which, after installation, are located outside the slide groove 103. The racks 205 are mounted on the sides 203, and the inner wall of the sides 203 has protrusions 204 that match the slide groove 103. Rollers 206 are mounted on the upper, lower, and inner surfaces of the protrusions 204, and the rollers 206 form rolling contact with the three groove surfaces of the slide groove 103, thereby allowing the window 2 to move back and forth along the slide groove 103.
[0049] The gear opening and closing mechanism 3 is installed inside the square opening 102, and its output end is meshed with the rack 205 to drive the window 2 to move after receiving torque input at its input end. As a preferred example, the gear opening and closing mechanism 3 includes an output gear 301, a first rotating shaft 302, an intermediate gear 303, a second rotating shaft 305, a bevel gear set 304, a third rotating shaft 306, a worm gear set 307, and a spline sleeve 308.
[0050] Two output gears 301 are provided as the output ends of the entire gear opening and closing mechanism 3, and are rotatably mounted on the top surface of the square opening 102 via pins in the slots on the left and right sides of the top surface of the square opening 102. The slot is also fitted with a slot cover so that the top surface of the square opening 102 forms a complete plane, thereby achieving a seal between the window 2 and the plane.
[0051] Two first rotating shafts 302 are provided, and are respectively mounted on the inner walls of the left and right sides of the square opening 102 via bearing seats. Two intermediate gears 303 are provided, and are respectively mounted on the first rotating shafts 302 and mesh with the output gears 301 one-to-one. One second rotating shaft 305 is provided, and is mounted on the front or rear inner wall of the square opening 102 via bearing seats; in this example, it is preferably mounted on the front inner wall. Two bevel gear sets 304 are provided, with the input bevel gears mounted at both ends of the second rotating shaft 305 and the output bevel gears mounted on the first rotating shaft 302 on the same side. One third rotating shaft 306 is provided, and is mounted on the front inner wall of the square opening 102 via bearing seats. One worm gear set 307 is provided, with the worm gear mounted on the third rotating shaft 306 and the worm wheel gear mounted on the second rotating shaft 305. The spline sleeve 308 serves as the input end of the entire gear opening and closing mechanism 3 and is connected to the worm gear of the worm gear set 307, and can be coupled to the drive component 4. When the spline sleeve 308 receives torque input, it is converted into linear movement of the rack 205 through the entire gear opening and closing mechanism 3. Since the gear opening and closing mechanism 3 uses a worm gear set 307, it has a self-locking function. When the window 2 moves to any position, it can be locked in the opposite direction, thus achieving the purpose of preventing the window from being opened from the outside after it is closed without the need to set a window lock.
[0052] It should be noted that the input-output ratio of the gear opening and closing mechanism 3 is (2-5):1, which enables a larger torque output to drive the window 2 to move.
[0053] The pin, the first rotating shaft 302, and the third rotating shaft 306 are all parallel to the first direction, and the second rotating shaft 305 is parallel to the third direction, which is horizontal and perpendicular to the second direction. The first direction is vertical, and the second direction is horizontal.
[0054] The drive unit 4 can couple to the input terminal to input torque. In this example, the drive unit 4 is a hand crank, the top of which can be inserted into the spline sleeve 308 via a spline shaft to form a connection, thereby opening and closing the window 2 when the hand crank is turned. Obviously, the hand crank and the spline sleeve 308 are detachably connected, so that the hand crank can be removed when the window does not need to be opened or closed.
[0055] As an alternative example to using a hand crank as the drive component 4, drive component 4 is a motor. Using a motor as the power source can avoid manual operation and improve the user experience. It should be noted that using a motor to achieve automatic control inevitably involves circuit control such as buttons and / or remote controls, the specific means and implementation methods of which are existing technologies and will not be elaborated here.
[0056] As a preferred example, the gear opening and closing mechanism 3 also includes a universal joint 309, which is connected between the spline sleeve 308 and the input bevel gear of the worm gear assembly 307. The purpose of using the universal joint 309 is to allow the user to operate the hand crank at a more suitable angle after it is connected to the spline sleeve 308.
[0057] The limiting components 5 are installed on the left and right outer walls of the square opening 102 to limit the movement of the window 2 after it is opened and after it is closed. As a preferred example, the limiting components 5 include a front limiting member 501, a rear limiting member 502, and a limiting mating seat 503.
[0058] The front limiting member 501 and the rear limiting member 502 have the same structure and number, but different installation positions. Specifically, the front limiting member 501 is installed on the front side of the left and / or right outer wall of the square opening 102, and its front end has an upward-curving first hook-shaped portion. Obviously, the number of front limiting members 501 can be one or two, depending on the number, which determines whether it is installed on one side or both sides, which will not be elaborated here. The rear limiting member 502 is installed on the rear side of the left and / or right outer wall of the square opening 102, and its rear end has an upward-curving second hook-shaped portion.
[0059] The number of limiting mating seats 503 is the same as the number of front limiting members 501. The limiting mating seats 503 are installed on the left and / or right side of the window 2, and each has a limiting shaft capable of forming a limiting engagement with the first hook-shaped portion and the second hook-shaped portion, respectively. When the window 2 moves to the point where the limiting shaft contacts the first hook-shaped portion, the window 2 is in its fully open state. When the window 2 moves to the point where the limiting shaft contacts the second hook-shaped portion, the window 2 is in its fully closed state.
[0060] As a preferred example, window 2 includes a window frame 201 and a window panel 202 installed in the window frame 201. The window panel 202 is a translucent glass panel. Sealing strips are provided around the bottom perimeter of the window frame 201, allowing normal light transmission even when window 2 is closed. Obviously, the window panel 202 can be a single-pane glass panel or a double-pane glass panel.
[0061] As an alternative example of using a glass panel as the window panel 202, the window panel 202 is a frosted glass panel. The frosted glass panel is transparent when powered on and frosted when powered off, which is also prior art and will not be described in detail.
[0062] As another alternative example of using a glass panel as the window panel 202, the window panel 202 is a photovoltaic panel. The photovoltaic panel is not translucent, therefore, in this alternative example, lighting is achieved only through opening the window. However, the photovoltaic panel can generate electricity, which can power the electric drive automatic control system. It should be noted that photovoltaic panel power generation also requires a photovoltaic controller and power supply; the specific connection method is also existing technology and will not be elaborated upon.
[0063] Example 2
[0064] like Figure 7 As shown, this utility model also provides a roof structure, including a roof floor slab 6, the roof floor slab 6 being provided with an installation opening, in which the sliding skylight device of Embodiment 1 is installed.
[0065] When installing the sliding skylight device, for old bungalows, the roof slab 6 needs to be drilled to form an installation opening, while for newly built bungalows, the roof slab 6 needs to have a pre-reserved installation opening. Then, the sliding skylight device is installed from bottom to top into the opening and secured with bolts 7. Waterproof sealant is applied between the outer surface of the roof and the outer wall of the square opening 102.
