DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0056] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments in the present application belong to the scope of protection of this application.

[0057] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are generally of one type, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims represents at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the objects associated with each other are in an "or" relationship.

[0058] The outward-opening motion mechanism of the automobile sunroof provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below through specific embodiments and their application scenarios in combination with the accompanying drawings.

[0059] like Figure 1-Figure 11 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides an outward-opening motion mechanism for a car sunroof, including a guide rail assembly 100 installed on a car roof, a sliding assembly 200 that can swing toward or away from the guide rail assembly 100 and a driving assembly 400 coupled to the sliding assembly 200 are slidably provided in the guide rail assembly 100, a support assembly 300 for installing a sunroof glass is rotatably provided on the sliding assembly 200, the driving assembly 400 is externally connected to a power device and can drive the sliding assembly 200 to slide in the guide rail assembly 100, and a lifting frame assembly 500 coupled to the support assembly 300 is also rotatably provided on the driving assembly 400, and when the driving assembly 400 moves in the guide rail assembly 100, the lifting frame assembly 500 can be driven to rotate and drive the support assembly 300 to achieve tilting.

[0060] A guide locking assembly 600 is fixedly disposed in the guide rail assembly 100 . The guide locking assembly 600 can limit the position of the sliding assembly 200 and guide the movement of the lifting frame assembly 500 .

[0061] It is understandable that, on the car roof, in order to improve the stability of the sunroof glass in tilting and opening, guide rail assemblies 100 are respectively provided on both sides of the sunroof, that is, the two sides of the sunroof glass are supported by two support assemblies 300 respectively.

[0062] In an embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned outward-opening movement mechanism of a car sunroof is adopted. When the sunroof glass is in a closed state, the guide locking assembly 600 restricts the movement of the sliding assembly 200, and the driving assembly 400 moves toward the opening side of the sunroof. The driving assembly 400 and the sliding assembly 200 move relative to each other. The lifting frame assembly 500 rotates under the guidance of the guide locking assembly 600 to drive the supporting assembly 300 to swing and lift the sunroof glass. When the driving assembly 400 moves until the sunroof glass is fully lifted, the guide locking assembly 600 releases the movement restriction on the sliding assembly 200. As the driving assembly 400 continues to move, it will drive the sliding assembly 200 to move synchronously, thereby realizing the translational opening after the sunroof glass is fully lifted.

[0063] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the guide rail assembly 100 includes a guide rail body 110 and a track groove 120 disposed in the guide rail body 110 . The track groove 120 is in an inverted “T” shape, which is convenient for limiting the sliding assembly 200 and the driving assembly 400 in the vertical direction.

[0064] It is understandable that the structure of the guide rail assembly 100 is not limited to the above-mentioned one. For example, the track groove 120 may also adopt a "C"-shaped groove or an "I"-shaped groove, or the guide rail assembly 100 may also be directly set in the form of a slide rod. At this time, in order to ensure that the sliding assembly 200 can deflect to the side away from the guide rail assembly 100, a slider is set on the guide rail assembly 100, and a rotational connection relationship between the guide rail assembly 100 and the slider is set.

[0065] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 8-Figure 10 As shown, the sliding assembly 200 includes a sliding body 210, and the sliding body 210 is respectively fixed and symmetrically provided with two first sliding parts 220 slidably arranged in the track groove 120 on the opposite side end faces in the length direction of the guide rail assembly 100, and the displacement of the first sliding part 220 in the vertical direction is limited by the inner wall of the track groove 120.

[0066] The two side surfaces of the two first sliding parts 220 in the vertical direction are outwardly convex arc surfaces, and the two side arc surfaces of the first sliding parts 220 in the vertical direction abut against the inner wall of the track groove 120 .

[0067] It can be understood that the arc surface of the first sliding part 220 is provided to ensure that the first sliding part 220 can be deflected to a certain angle away from the guide rail assembly 100 while sliding in the track groove 120. The length of the arc surface can be set according to the deflection angle requirement of the sliding assembly 200. The matching structure of the sliding assembly 200 and the guide rail assembly 100 is not limited to the above-mentioned one.

[0068] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 1-Figure 3 , Figure 8-Figure 10 As shown, a mounting groove 230 is provided on the sliding body 210 along the vertical direction, and the support assembly 300 includes a connecting portion 310 and a support plate 320 integrally formed with the connecting portion 310. The connecting portion 310 is rotatably connected to the sliding body 210 in the mounting groove 230 through a rotating pin, and the top of the support plate 320 is used to install the skylight glass.

[0069] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 1-Figure 3 , Figure 8-Figure 10As shown, the driving assembly 400 includes a driving slide 410, and two second sliding parts 430 slidably arranged in the track groove 120 are fixed and symmetrically provided on the opposite side end faces of the driving slide 410 in the length direction of the guide rail assembly 100, and a locking guide groove 420 is provided on the driving slide 410 in the connection direction of the two second sliding parts 430. The locking guide groove 420 gradually inclines toward the side away from the guide rail assembly 100 from the end close to the sliding body 210 to the end away from the sliding body 210. The sliding assembly 200 also includes a driven part 240 fixedly arranged on the end face of the sliding body 210 on one side close to the driving assembly 400, and a sliding pin 260 slidably arranged in the locking guide groove 420 is fixedly arranged on the end face of the driven part 240 on one side close to the driving assembly 400.

[0070] In the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned automobile sunroof outward-opening motion mechanism is adopted. When the sunroof glass is not lifted or opened, the sliding pin 260 is located in the locking guide groove 420 at the side closest to the sliding body 210. When the driving assembly 400 moves away from the sliding assembly 200 and the sliding assembly 200 is restricted by the movement of the guide locking assembly 600, the driving assembly 400 and the sliding assembly 200 move relative to each other, and the sliding pin 260 moves relative to each other in the locking guide groove 420. During this process, the sliding pin 2 60 is driven by the track of the locking guide groove 420 to deflect to the side away from the guide rail assembly 100. When the sliding pin 260 moves relatively in the locking guide groove 420 to the position on the side of the locking guide groove 420 farthest from the sliding assembly 200, the sliding assembly 200 is disengaged from the movement restriction of the guide locking assembly 600, and the driving assembly 400 is able to drive the sliding assembly 200 to move synchronously by abutting the inner wall of the locking guide groove 420 with the sliding pin 260, thereby realizing the overall translational opening of the sunroof glass after it is lifted up.

[0071] It is understandable that the locking guide groove 420 can also be configured to gradually incline toward the side close to the guide rail assembly 100 from the end close to the sliding body 210 to the end away from the sliding body 210. Under this configuration, when the driving assembly 400 moves toward the side away from the sliding assembly 200, the sliding pin 260 is driven by the trajectory of the locking guide groove 420 to deflect toward the side close to the guide rail assembly 100. The sliding pin 260 can also be disengaged from the locking guide groove 420 in the above manner, but it is necessary to make adaptive adjustments to the structure of the guide locking assembly 600 or the guide rail assembly 100 to ensure that the driven part 240 has sufficient deflection space.

[0072] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 4-Figure 11As shown, the guide locking assembly 600 includes a fixed plate 610 embedded in the guide rail body 110, and a locking groove 620 is provided on the end face of the fixed plate 610 close to the driven part 240. The locking groove 620 penetrates the two end faces of the fixed plate 610 in the vertical direction along the track, and a locking part 250 for cooperating with the locking groove 620 is rotatably provided on the end face of the driven part 240 away from the driving assembly 400.

[0073] The locking groove 620 is inclined from the side away from the guide rail assembly 100 to the side close to the guide rail assembly 100 toward the opening side of the sunroof glass. The locking portion 250 is a diamond-shaped block and a torsion spring is provided between the locking portion 250 and the driven portion 240. When the sliding pin 260 moves relatively in the locking guide groove 420 to drive the driven portion 240 to deflect toward the side away from the guide rail assembly 100, the locking portion 250 is rotated by the resistance of the inner wall of the locking groove 620 and gradually moves toward the side away from the guide rail assembly 100 to disengage from the locking groove 620, thereby releasing the movement restriction of the sliding assembly 200 by the guide locking assembly 600. Conversely, the locking portion 250 will move toward the side close to the guide rail assembly 100 to the locking groove 620 to realize the movement restriction of the sliding assembly 200 by the guide locking assembly 600, that is, to realize the falling lock of the sunroof glass.

[0074] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 4-Figure 11 As shown, the lifting frame assembly 500 includes a support plate 510 rotatably arranged between two second sliding parts 430, and an "L"-shaped guide groove 520 is provided on the end surface of the support plate 510 close to the guide locking assembly 600. A guide portion 630 is rotatably provided on the end surface of the fixed plate 610 close to the lifting frame assembly 500. The guide portion 630 is located in the locking groove 620 in the direction of the opening side of the sunroof glass. The guide groove 520 is connected with the corresponding side end surface of the support plate 510 along the trajectory. The guide portion 630 can enter the guide groove 520 from both ends of the guide groove 520 trajectory and slide in the guide groove 520, thereby realizing the rotation of the support plate 510 by abutting against the inner wall of the guide groove 520.

[0075] The guide portion 630 is a diamond-shaped block and a torsion spring is provided between the guide portion 630 and the fixing plate 610. When the sunroof glass is not lifted or opened, the guide portion 630 is located on the side of the lifting frame assembly 500 away from the sliding assembly 200. The end of the guide groove 520 away from the sliding assembly 200 and the guide portion 630 are located on the same horizontal plane. As the driving assembly 400 moves toward the opening side of the sunroof glass, the guide portion 630 enters the guide groove 520 from the end of the guide groove 520 away from the sliding assembly 200 and drives the support plate 520 by contacting the inner wall of the guide groove 520. 10 rotates toward the side away from the guide rail assembly 100. As the driving assembly 400 continues to move, the guide portion 630 will slide out from the guide groove 520 on the side close to the sliding assembly 200. Conversely, the guide portion 630 will enter the guide groove 520 from the side close to the sliding assembly 200 and drive the support plate 510 to rotate toward the side close to the guide rail assembly 100 by contacting the inner wall of the guide groove 520. As the driving assembly 400 continues to move, the guide portion 630 will slide out from the guide groove 520 on the side away from the sliding assembly 200.

[0076] It is understandable that the shapes of the locking portion 250 and the guide portion 630 are not limited to the above-mentioned ones. For example, the locking portion 250 and the guide portion 630 can also be set to be cylindrical, pentagonal, hexagonal, etc., as long as they can satisfy the interference and relative sliding cooperation relationship with the locking groove 620 or the guide groove 520 during the process of the sunroof glass being lifted up to open or dropped to lock.

[0077] In the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned outward-opening motion mechanism of the automobile sunroof is adopted, and the locking groove 620 and the guide part 630 arranged on the guide locking assembly 600 simultaneously meet the guidance of the sunroof glass in the process of lifting and locking the sunroof glass. The integrated setting of the two modules is not only easy to assemble, but also reduces the number of parts and reduces the cost. At the same time, the guide locking assembly 600 has a compact structure and occupies little space on the guide rail assembly 100, which can effectively reduce the overall volume of the motion mechanism.

[0078] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 4-Figure 11 As shown, a lifting pin 530 is fixedly provided on the end surface of the support plate 510 away from the guide locking assembly 600, and a lifting guide groove 330 is penetrated through the support plate 320, and the lifting pin 530 slides in the lifting guide groove 330.

[0079] In the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned outward-opening movement mechanism of the automobile sunroof is adopted. When the sunroof glass is not lifted or opened, the lifting pin 530 is located on the side of the lifting guide groove 330 closest to the sliding assembly 200. As the driving assembly 400 moves toward the opening side of the sunroof glass, the lifting pin 530 swings toward the side away from the guide rail assembly 100 under the action of the guide part 630 to drive the sunroof glass to lift. When the lifting pin 530 swings to the highest position, the sunroof glass is lifted. As the driving assembly 400 continues to move, the lifting pin 530 slides in the lifting guide groove 330 toward the side away from the sliding assembly 200. When the lifting pin 530 slides to the position on the side farthest from the sliding assembly 200 in the lifting guide groove 330, the guide locking assembly 600 just releases the movement restriction of the sliding assembly 200. The movement of the driving assembly 400 will drive the sliding assembly 200, the supporting assembly 300, and the lifting frame assembly 500 to move synchronously to realize the translational opening of the sunroof glass.

[0080] In a preferred embodiment, Fig. 9 , Fig.10 As shown, the support assembly 300 is provided with a stop protrusion 340 for limiting the lifting frame assembly 500. The stop protrusion 340 is located on the side of the lifting guide groove 330 away from the sliding assembly 200. When the support plate 510 is swung to the highest position due to the resistance of the guide portion 630, since the lifting pin 530 is located in the lifting guide groove 330, the support plate 510 is simultaneously subjected to pressure from the support plate 320, and its force rotation tendency is to rotate toward the side away from the sliding assembly 200. At this time, the stop protrusion 340 is in resistance with the end face of the support plate 510 away from the sliding assembly 200, thereby limiting the rotation of the support plate 510, preventing the support plate 510 from over-rotating, and ensuring the stability of the position of the sunroof glass after it is lifted.

[0081] In the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned outward-opening motion mechanism of the automobile sunroof is adopted. Compared with the traditional motion mechanism, the lifting of the support component 300 is not performed by the track groove to perform a lifting action on a fixed track, but the support component 300 is realized by driving the support plate 510 to rotate by the guide part 630. Not only is the structure compact and the closed Z-direction space is small, which can significantly reduce the overall volume of the motion mechanism, but the lifting of the support component 300 is coupled with the locking and movement of the sliding component 200, so that the lifting and translational opening of the sunroof glass are interrelated, that is, the interrelationship, reliability and durability between the components are improved.
