[0040] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that similar or identical parts in the drawings or descriptions are numbered the same. Implementations not shown or described in the drawings are known to those of ordinary skill in the art. In the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc. are used solely to distinguish descriptions and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a sunroof end structure, which is mainly used in the vehicle model disclosed in the patent application number 202210050469.0. The spoiler 300 and the high-mounted brake light 200 are directly installed on the sunroof body 100, so that whether the tailgate 500 is folded down or not will not affect the normal use of the spoiler 300 and the high-mounted brake light 200.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the sunroof end structure primarily comprises a sunroof body 100 and a high-mounted brake light 200. The high-mounted brake light 200 is mounted on the end of the sunroof body 100 near the rear of the vehicle. A wiring harness is provided for the high-mounted brake light 200, the end of which is fitted with a connector that connects to the vehicle's wiring harness, enabling the high-mounted brake light 200 to illuminate and deactivate based on the vehicle's brake or power signals. Furthermore, the sunroof end structure also includes a spoiler 300, also mounted on the end of the sunroof body 100 near the rear of the vehicle. By such an arrangement, the spoiler 300 and the high-mounted brake light 200 are directly mounted on the sunroof body 100, so that the spoiler 300 and the high-mounted brake light 200 are always located at a high position at the rear end of the vehicle and are not associated with the tailgate 500. Whether the tailgate 500 is in a closed state or in a flip-down open state, the normal use of the spoiler 300 and the high-mounted brake light 200 will not be affected, thereby ensuring normal driving of the vehicle.

[0043] like Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, because the high-mounted stop light 200 and the spoiler 300 are mounted at the rear end of the sunroof body 100, they are subject to significant wind resistance during vehicle travel. Since the majority of the sunroof body 100 is composed of sunroof glass, if the high-mounted stop light 200 and the spoiler 300 were mounted directly on the sunroof glass, their stability would be significantly poor. To enhance their stability, a reinforcement insert 400 is mounted on the end of the sunroof body 100 near the rear end of the vehicle. The reinforcement insert 400, the high-mounted stop light 200, and the spoiler 300 are all configured as elongated strips, with their lengths aligning with the width of the vehicle. The high-mounted stop light 200 and the spoiler 300 are all mounted on the reinforcement insert 400. By providing the reinforcing insert 400, on the one hand, the strength of the glass of the sunroof body 100 can be strengthened, and on the other hand, the high-mounted brake light 200 and the spoiler 300 can be installed instead of the glass, thereby enhancing the connection strength between the sunroof body 100 and the high-mounted brake light 200 and the spoiler 300, and improving the stability of the high-mounted brake light 200 and the spoiler 300.

[0044] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the reinforcement insert 400 has a first mounting surface 410 and a second mounting surface 420. The first mounting surface 410 is located on the side away from the sunroof body 100 and is a generally vertical surface. The high-mounted stop lamp 200 is mounted on the first mounting surface 410. The second mounting surface 420 is located on the side closer to the sunroof body 100 and is a generally horizontal surface. The angle between the first mounting surface 410 and the second mounting surface 420 is approximately 90°. The spoiler 300 is mounted on the second mounting surface 420. This arrangement allows the high-mounted stop lamp 200 and the spoiler 300 to function properly without interfering with each other. Furthermore, the high-mounted stop lamp 200 and the spoiler 300 are more stable during vehicle movement.

[0045] like Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the high-mounted stop lamp 200 is provided with five first threaded portions 210 equidistantly along its length. Five first mounting holes 411 are provided on the first mounting surface 410 to accommodate the first threaded portions 210. Each first threaded portion 210 corresponds to each first mounting hole 411. A first mounting bolt 412 is inserted through each first mounting hole 411 and then threadedly engages with the first threaded portion 210. This bolted connection secures the high-mounted stop lamp 200 to the first mounting surface 410, enhancing its stability. Furthermore, the first mounting holes 411 are designed as 6 mm x 10 mm strips, leaving a 2 mm margin along the length of the first mounting surface 410. This facilitates adjustments to the appearance of the high-mounted stop lamp 200 after installation.

[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the reinforcement insert 400 has a receiving surface 430 at the bottom end of the first mounting surface 410. The receiving surface 430 extends toward the rear of the vehicle, and a portion of the bottom structure of the high-mounted stop lamp 200 is placed on the receiving surface 430. The provision of the receiving surface 430 can assist the first mounting surface 410 in bearing the weight of the high-mounted stop lamp 200, thereby further enhancing the stability of the high-mounted stop lamp 200.

[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, five second threaded portions 310 are equidistantly spaced along the length of the spoiler 300. Five second mounting holes 421 are provided on the second mounting surface 420 to accommodate the second threaded portions 310. Each second mounting hole 421 corresponds to the second threaded portion 310. A second mounting bolt 422 is inserted through each second mounting hole 421 and threadedly engages with the second threaded portion 310 after passing through the second mounting hole 421. This bolted connection secures the spoiler 300 to the second mounting surface 420, enhancing its stability. Furthermore, the second mounting holes 421 have a 2 mm margin in both the length and width directions of the second mounting surface 420, facilitating adjustment of the spoiler 300's appearance in both directions.

[0048] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the sunroof body 100 includes a fixed sunroof glass assembly 110 and a sliding sunroof glass assembly 120. It will be understood that the fixed sunroof glass assembly 110 is the portion of the sunroof body 100 whose position cannot be changed, while the sliding sunroof glass assembly 120 is the portion of the sunroof body 100 whose position can be changed. The high-mounted brake light 200 and the spoiler 300 can both be mounted on the end of the fixed sunroof glass assembly 110 near the rear of the vehicle, or alternatively, the high-mounted brake light 200 and the spoiler 300 can both be mounted on the end of the sliding sunroof glass assembly 120 near the rear of the vehicle. When the high-mounted brake light 200 and spoiler 300 are installed on the fixed sunroof glass assembly 110, they remain stationary relative to the vehicle. When they are installed on the sliding sunroof glass assembly 120, their positions can be adjusted along with the sliding sunroof glass assembly 120. Whether the high-mounted brake light 200 and spoiler 300 are installed on the fixed sunroof glass assembly 110 or the sliding sunroof glass assembly 120, their normal operation remains unchanged. This design breaks with conventional design thinking, namely, placing the high-mounted brake light 200 and spoiler 300 on the tailgate 500, and provides a new research direction for automotive sunroof research.

[0049] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, an embodiment of the present application further provides a roof assembly comprising a roof assembly body 600 and the aforementioned sunroof end structure, which is mounted on the roof assembly body 600. This arrangement allows the spoiler 300 and high-mounted brake light 200 to be directly mounted on the sunroof body 100, ensuring that the spoiler 300 and high-mounted brake light 200 are always positioned high at the rear end of the vehicle and are not associated with the tailgate 500. Whether the tailgate 500 is closed or flipped open, the spoiler 300 and high-mounted brake light 200 remain operational, thereby ensuring normal vehicle operation. Furthermore, this arrangement enriches the functionality of the roof assembly and meets consumers' increasingly fashionable demands.

[0050] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, an embodiment of the present application further provides a vehicle comprising a vehicle body 700, a tailgate 500, and the aforementioned roof assembly. The tailgate 500 and the roof assembly are mounted on the vehicle body 700, and the tailgate 500 is a flip-down tailgate. This arrangement allows the spoiler 300 and the high-mounted brake light 200 to be mounted directly on the sunroof body 100, independent of the tailgate 500. Whether the tailgate 500 is open or closed, the spoiler 300 and the high-mounted brake light 200 remain operational, ensuring normal vehicle operation.
