Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of automobiles, and in particular relates to a multifunctional roof assembly and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] At present, there are three solutions for multifunctional roof assembly of sedan or SUV in the market, namely, full sheet metal roof (such as Figure 1 As shown), full glass roof (as shown Figure 2 As shown) and the roof with movable sunroof and sheet metal (as shown Figure 3 (As shown). A full sheet metal roof is primarily welded to the vehicle body. Combined with the bodyside panels and glass, it forms a closed cabin and is primarily used on lower-spec vehicles. A full glass roof is primarily bonded to the vehicle body using PU adhesive. Compared to a full sheet metal roof, a full glass roof significantly improves light transmission and is a common option for new energy vehicle manufacturers, such as the Tesla Model Y and Model 3, and the Xiaopeng P7. A movable sunroof, combined with a sheet metal roof, offers both light transmission and opening functions.

[0003] With the rapid development of the automobile industry and the increasingly fashionable and youthful consumer concepts, the current multifunctional roof assembly is increasingly unable to meet the development needs of automobiles and the consumption needs of consumers due to its relatively monotonous functions and forms. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a multifunctional roof assembly and a vehicle to solve the problem pointed out in the background technology that the current multifunctional roof assembly is increasingly unable to meet the development needs of automobiles and the consumption needs of consumers due to its relatively monotonous functions and forms.

[0005] In order to achieve the above technical objectives, the technical solutions adopted by the present invention are as follows:

[0006] In a first aspect, the present application provides a multifunctional roof assembly, comprising:

[0007] A roof frame having a front light-transmitting area and a rear light-transmitting area;

[0008] A front roof glass assembly is fixed to the roof frame and covers the front light-transmitting area of ​​the roof;

[0009] a rear roof glass assembly, slidably mounted on the roof frame along the length of the roof frame and capable of covering the rear light-transmitting area of ​​the roof; and

[0010] A high-mounted brake light is mounted on the roof rear glass assembly.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solutions, the roof assembly has multiple functions:

[0012] The first function is that the front and rear glass assemblies of the roof give the multifunctional roof assembly a large area of ​​light transmission function, which makes the multifunctional roof assembly more fashionable and youthful;

[0013] The second function is the ability of the rear glass assembly to open and close the rear light-transmitting area of ​​the roof. This function provides the basis for the vehicle's structural deformation and spatial variability, making the multifunctional roof assembly more fashionable while meeting consumers' demand for a larger interior space.

[0014] The third function is the brake reminder function given to the multifunctional roof assembly by the high-mounted brake light. The high-mounted brake light that reminds the rear vehicles to brake is installed on the conspicuous roof rear glass assembly, so that the rear vehicles can timely understand the braking status of the vehicle.

[0015] Furthermore, while the high-mounted brake light in the prior art is typically mounted on the tailgate, if the vehicle's tailgate is a flip-down tailgate (such as the tailgate disclosed in patent application No. 202210050469.0), this tailgate can be flipped down to increase the rear end of the vehicle's space. However, when the tailgate flips down to expand the space, the high-mounted brake light installed on the tailgate will not function as intended. In this embodiment, the high-mounted brake light, which has a high-mounted braking function, is mounted on the roof rear glass assembly and is not associated with the tailgate. Whether the tailgate is closed or flipped open, the normal operation of the high-mounted brake light is not affected, thereby ensuring normal driving of the vehicle.

[0016] Through the mutual cooperation of the above multiple functions, the roof assembly in this embodiment has relatively rich functions, which can meet the development needs of automobiles and the consumption needs of consumers.

[0017] In combination with the first aspect, it is further defined that the high-mounted brake light is connected to a wiring harness, an end of the wiring harness away from the high-mounted brake light is equipped with an electronic connector, and the wiring harness and the electronic connector are both arranged on a side of the roof rear glass assembly facing the interior of the vehicle;

[0018] The roof frame is provided with a contact surface connector that matches the electronic connector, the contact surface connector is connected to a connector, and the connector is electrically connected to the vehicle wiring harness;

[0019] When the rear glass assembly of the roof slides to cover the light-transmitting area behind the roof, the electronic connector contacts the contact connector, causing the entire vehicle to send a control signal to the high-mounted brake light; when the rear glass assembly of the roof slides to open the light-transmitting area behind the roof, the electronic connector separates from the contact connector.

[0020] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution and designing contact-type electrical connectors, the risk of damage to the wiring harness connecting the high-mounted brake light to the entire vehicle during frequent sliding of the rear glass assembly of the roof can be reduced, thereby reducing the vehicle's after-sales maintenance costs and improving user experience and satisfaction.

[0021] In combination with the first aspect, it is further defined that the electronic connector is provided with a plurality of spring-type ejector pin structures, and the contact connector is provided with a plurality of copper sheets that cooperate with the spring-type ejector pin structures.

[0023] In combination with the first aspect, it is further defined that the multifunctional roof assembly further includes a spoiler, and the spoiler is installed on the roof rear glass assembly.

[0024] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, the roof assembly has a fourth function, namely, the function of reducing air resistance given to the roof assembly by the spoiler, while also making the appearance of the roof assembly more dynamic and stylish. In addition, since the spoiler in the prior art is generally installed on the tailgate, if the tailgate of the vehicle is a flip-down tailgate (such as the tailgate disclosed in the patent application number 202210050469.0), this tailgate can be flipped down to increase the accommodation space at the rear of the vehicle. However, when this tailgate is flipped down to expand the capacity, the spoiler installed on the tailgate will not play its due role. In this embodiment, the spoiler is installed on the roof rear glass assembly and is not associated with the tailgate. Whether the tailgate is in a closed state or in a flip-down open state, it will not affect the normal use of the spoiler, thereby ensuring the normal driving of the vehicle. To sum up, the roof assembly in this embodiment directly installs the spoiler and the high-mounted brake light on the roof rear glass assembly, and is not associated with the tailgate. Regardless of whether the tailgate is in a closed state or in a flip-down open state, it will not affect the normal use of the spoiler and the high-mounted brake light, thereby ensuring normal driving of the vehicle.

[0031] In combination with the first aspect, it is further defined that the reinforcement insert has a receiving surface extending toward the rear side of the vehicle on the bottom end of the first mounting surface, and a portion of the structure on the bottom side of the high-mounted brake light is placed on the receiving surface.

[0032] By adopting the above technical solution, the placing surface can assist the first mounting surface in bearing the weight of the high-mounted brake light, thereby further enhancing the stability of the high-mounted brake light.

[0033] In combination with the first aspect, it is further defined that a plurality of second screw-connecting parts are arranged at equal distances on the spoiler along the length direction, a plurality of second mounting holes adapted for the second screw-connecting parts are provided on the second mounting surface, a second mounting bolt is passed through the second mounting hole, and the second mounting bolt is threadedly connected to the second screw-connecting part after passing through the second mounting hole.

[0034] By adopting the above technical solution, the spoiler is fixed to the second mounting surface by bolt connection, thereby enhancing the stability of the spoiler.

[0035] In combination with the first aspect, it is further defined that the roof frame includes a front cross beam, a middle cross beam and two side long beams, the front cross beam is arranged parallel to the middle cross beam, and the two side long beams are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the front cross beam and the middle cross beam.

[0036] By adopting the above technical solution, the front light-transmitting area of ​​the roof is surrounded by the front cross beam, the middle cross beam and the long side beams on both sides, while the rear light-transmitting area of ​​the roof is surrounded by the middle cross beam and the long side beams on both sides, thereby forming the basic skeleton of the roof frame.

[0037] In combination with the first aspect, it is further defined that the multifunctional roof assembly further includes a rear glass sliding mechanism, and the rear glass sliding mechanism is used to drive the roof rear glass assembly to slide along the length direction of the roof frame.

[0042] By adopting the above technical solution, the connecting rod lifting assembly has two states, namely, an open state and a closed state. When the sliding screw slides toward the front side of the vehicle and drives the slider connected to it to slide toward the front side of the vehicle, the roof rear glass assembly is blocked by the roof middle glass assembly, causing the rotating arm to rotate, and then forcing the connecting rod lifting assembly to deform into an open state, thereby raising the roof rear glass assembly. When the horizontal height of the roof rear glass assembly is higher than the roof middle glass assembly; and when the sliding screw slides toward the rear side of the vehicle, causing the slider near the rear side of the vehicle to slide to the end of the slide rail near the rear of the vehicle, the slider is blocked and no longer moves forward. At this time, the connecting rod lifting assembly will be reset to the closed state, thereby lowering the roof rear glass assembly, thereby closing the roof rear glass assembly.

[0048] By adopting the above technical solution, the vehicle's roof assembly has rich functions and can meet the development needs of automobiles and the consumption needs of consumers.

[0049] The invention adopting the above technical solution has the following advantages:

[0050] 1. By adopting the technical solution of this application, the roof assembly has multiple functions:

[0051] The first function is that the front and rear glass assemblies of the roof give the multifunctional roof assembly a large area of ​​light transmission function, which makes the multifunctional roof assembly more fashionable and youthful;

[0052] The second function is the ability of the rear glass assembly to open and close the rear light-transmitting area of ​​the roof. This function provides the basis for the vehicle's structural deformation and spatial variability, making the multifunctional roof assembly more fashionable while meeting consumers' demand for a larger interior space.

[0053] The third function is the brake reminder function given to the multifunctional roof assembly by the high-mounted brake light. The high-mounted brake light that reminds the rear vehicles to brake is installed on the conspicuous roof rear glass assembly, so that the rear vehicles can timely understand the braking status of the vehicle.

[0054] The fourth function is the ability of the spoiler to reduce air resistance of the roof assembly. Installing the spoiler on the rear glass assembly of the roof can not only reduce air resistance, but also enhance the dynamic and stylish appearance of the roof assembly.

[0055] 2. The present application utilizes the mutual cooperation of the electronic connector and the contact connector. When the rear glass assembly of the roof slides to the light-transmitting area behind the covered roof, the electronic connector contacts the contact connector. At this time, the electrical harness of the entire vehicle is connected to the high-mounted brake light, enabling the entire vehicle to send a control signal to the high-mounted brake light. When the rear glass assembly of the roof slides to the light-transmitting area behind the open roof, the electronic connector separates from the contact connector. At this time, the high-mounted brake light is in a power-off state. By designing a contact-type electrical connector, the risk of damage to the wiring harness connecting the high-mounted brake light to the entire vehicle during the frequent sliding of the rear glass assembly of the roof can be reduced, thereby reducing the after-sales maintenance costs of the vehicle and improving the user experience and satisfaction.

[0056] 3. This application installs the spoiler and high-mounted brake light directly on the roof rear glass assembly and is not associated with the tailgate. Whether the tailgate is in a closed state or in a flip-down open state, it will not affect the normal use of the spoiler, thereby ensuring the normal driving of the vehicle.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0080] 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.

[0081] like Figures 4-6 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a multifunctional roof assembly, which mainly includes a roof frame 100, a roof front glass assembly 200, a roof rear glass assembly 300 and a high-mounted brake light 400.

[0082] like Figure 6As shown, the roof frame 100 includes a front crossbeam 110, a middle crossbeam 120, and two side long beams 130. The front crossbeam 110 is arranged parallel to the middle crossbeam 120, and the two side long beams 130 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the front crossbeam 110 and the middle crossbeam 120. The roof frame 100 has a front light-transmitting area 140 and a rear light-transmitting area 150. The front light-transmitting area 140 is surrounded by the front crossbeam 110, the middle crossbeam 120, and the side long beams 130 on either side, while the rear light-transmitting area 150 is surrounded by the middle crossbeam 120 and the side long beams 130 on either side. When installing the roof frame 100, it is fixed to the top side of the vehicle body using a hybrid installation method of PU adhesive bonding and bolts.

[0083] like Figures 4-6 As shown, the front roof glass assembly 200 is fixed to the roof frame 100 using PU adhesive, and the front roof glass assembly 200 covers the front light-transmitting area 140 of the roof. The rear roof glass assembly 300 is slidably mounted on the roof frame 100 along the length of the roof frame 100, which corresponds to the length of the vehicle. When the rear roof glass assembly 300 slides toward the rear of the vehicle, it covers the rear light-transmitting area 150 of the roof. The high-mounted brake light 400 is mounted on the rear roof glass assembly 300 and serves as the vehicle's high-mounted brake light.

[0084] Through the above technical solutions, the roof assembly has multiple functions:

[0085] The first function is that the front roof glass assembly 200 and the rear roof glass assembly 300 provide the multifunctional roof assembly with a large light-transmitting area, making the multifunctional roof assembly more fashionable and youthful.

[0086] The second function is that the rear roof glass assembly 300 can open or close the rear light-transmitting area 150 of the roof. This function provides the basis for structural deformation and spatial variability of the vehicle, making the multifunctional roof assembly more fashionable while meeting consumers' demand for a larger interior space.

[0087] The third function is the braking reminder function given to the multifunctional roof assembly by the high-mounted brake light 400. The high-mounted brake light 400 that reminds the following vehicles to brake is installed on the conspicuous roof rear glass assembly 300, so that the following vehicles can promptly understand the braking status of the vehicle;

[0088] Furthermore, while the high-mounted brake light 400 in the prior art is typically mounted on the tailgate, if the vehicle's tailgate is a flip-down tailgate (such as the tailgate disclosed in Patent Application No. 202210050469.0), the tailgate can be flipped down to increase the rear end of the vehicle's space. However, when the tailgate flips down to expand the space, the high-mounted brake light 400 mounted on the tailgate no longer functions as intended. In this embodiment, the high-mounted brake light 400, which has a high-mounted brake reminder function, is mounted on the roof rear glass assembly 300 and is not associated with the tailgate. Whether the tailgate is closed or flipped open, the high-mounted brake light 400 remains operational, ensuring normal vehicle operation.

[0089] Through the mutual cooperation of the above multiple functions, the roof assembly in this embodiment has relatively rich functions, which can meet the development needs of automobiles and the consumption needs of consumers.

[0090] like Figures 7-11 As shown, in this embodiment, a wiring harness 410 is connected to the high-mounted brake light 400. An electronic connector 420 is installed at one end of the wiring harness 410 away from the high-mounted brake light 400. The wiring harness 410 is arranged on the side of the roof rear glass assembly 300 facing the interior of the vehicle by a snap-fitting manner. The electronic connector 420 is fixed to the side of the roof rear glass assembly 300 facing the interior of the vehicle by bolts; a contact connector 160 that matches the electronic connector 420 is installed on the roof frame 100, and a connector 161 is connected to the contact connector 160, which is electrically connected to the wiring harness of the entire vehicle; when the roof rear glass assembly When the rear glass assembly 300 slides to the light-transmitting area 150 behind the covered roof, the electronic connector 420 contacts the contact connector 160. At this time, the entire vehicle's electrical harness is connected to the high-mounted brake light 400, enabling the entire vehicle to send a control signal to the high-mounted brake light 400. When the rear glass assembly 300 slides to the light-transmitting area 150 behind the open roof, the electronic connector 420 separates from the contact connector 160. At this time, the high-mounted brake light 400 is in a power-off state. It should be noted that there is more than one brake light at the rear of the vehicle. When the high-mounted brake light 400 is powered off, the other brake lights can still serve as a brake reminder.

[0091] By designing contact-type electrical connectors, the risk of damage to the wiring harness 410 connecting the high-mounted brake light 400 to the entire vehicle during frequent sliding with the roof rear glass assembly 300 can be reduced, thereby reducing the vehicle's after-sales maintenance costs and improving user experience and satisfaction.

[0092] like Figures 7-11As shown, in this embodiment, the electronic connector 420 is provided with a plurality of spring-loaded ejector pin structures 421, and the contact connector 160 is provided with a plurality of copper sheets 162 that mate with the spring-loaded ejector pin structures 421. The copper sheets 162 correspond one-to-one with the spring-loaded ejector pin structures 421. With this arrangement, when all the spring-loaded ejector pin structures 421 are in contact with their corresponding copper sheets 162, the high-mounted brake light 400 can connect to the vehicle's electrical harness, thereby receiving control signals sent by the vehicle.

[0093] like Figures 4-6 As shown, in this embodiment, the multifunctional roof assembly further includes a spoiler 500, which is also mounted on the roof rear glass assembly 300. This arrangement provides the roof assembly with a fourth function, namely, the spoiler 500 reduces air resistance while also giving the roof assembly a more dynamic and stylish appearance.

[0094] Furthermore, while the spoiler 500 in the prior art is typically mounted on the tailgate, if the vehicle's tailgate is a flip-down tailgate (such as the tailgate disclosed in Patent Application No. 202210050469.0), this tailgate can flip down to increase the rear end of the vehicle's space. However, when the tailgate flips down to expand the space, the spoiler 500 mounted on the tailgate loses its intended function. In contrast, in this embodiment, the spoiler 500 is mounted on the roof rear glass assembly 300 and is not associated with the tailgate. Therefore, the spoiler 500 remains operational regardless of whether the tailgate is closed or flipped open, ensuring normal vehicle operation.

[0095] To sum up, the roof assembly in this embodiment directly installs the spoiler 500 and the high-mounted brake light 400 on the roof rear glass assembly 300, and is not associated with the tailgate. Regardless of whether the tailgate is in a closed state or in a flip-down open state, it will not affect the normal use of the spoiler 500 and the high-mounted brake light 400, thereby ensuring normal driving of the vehicle.

[0096] like Figure 12As shown, in this embodiment, the roof rear glass assembly 300 includes a sunroof rear glass 310, a rear glass insert 320, and a reinforcement insert 330. The rear glass insert 320 is designed in a "mouth" shape, with a glass mounting position 321 in the center. The sunroof rear glass 310 is secured to the glass mounting position 321 using PU adhesive. Furthermore, the aforementioned electronic connector 420 and wiring harness 410 are also mounted on the rear glass insert 320. The reinforcement insert 330 is fixed to the rear end of the rear glass insert 320 near the vehicle's rear end. In this embodiment, the reinforcement insert 330, high-mounted stop lamp 400, and spoiler 500 are all designed as elongated strips. The length of these three components aligns with the width of the vehicle. The high-mounted stop lamp 400 and spoiler 500 are both mounted on the reinforcement insert 330. Through the mutual cooperation of the rear glass insert 320 and the reinforcing insert 330, on the one hand, the strength of the sunroof rear glass 310 can be strengthened, and on the other hand, the connection strength between the roof rear glass assembly 300 and the high-mounted brake light 400 and the spoiler 500 can be enhanced, thereby improving the stability of the high-mounted brake light 400 and the spoiler 500 during vehicle driving.

[0097] In addition, the spoiler 500 can wrap a portion of the structure of the high-mounted brake light 400, making the appearance of the portion where the spoiler 500 and the high-mounted brake light 400 are located more beautiful.

[0098] like Figure 13 and 14 As shown, in this embodiment, the reinforcement insert 330 has a first mounting surface 331 and a second mounting surface 332. The first mounting surface 331 is located on a side away from the roof rear glass assembly 300 and is a generally vertical surface. The high-mounted stop lamp 400 is mounted on the first mounting surface 331. The second mounting surface 332 is located on a side closer to the roof rear glass assembly 300 and is a generally horizontal surface. The angle between the first mounting surface 331 and the second mounting surface 332 is approximately 90°. The spoiler 500 is mounted on the second mounting surface 332. This arrangement allows the high-mounted stop lamp 400 and the spoiler 500 to function properly without interfering with each other, and also provides greater stability during vehicle movement.

[0099] like Figure 13 and 14As shown, in this embodiment, the high-mounted stop lamp 400 is provided with five first screw-connecting portions 430 spaced evenly along its length. Five first mounting holes are provided on the first mounting surface 331 to accommodate the first screw-connecting portions 430. Each first screw-connecting portion 430 corresponds to a first mounting hole. A first mounting bolt 440 is inserted through each first mounting hole and then threadedly engaged with the first screw-connecting portion 430. This bolted connection secures the high-mounted stop lamp 400 to the first mounting surface 331, enhancing its stability. Furthermore, the first mounting holes are designed as 6 mm x 10 mm strips, leaving a 2 mm margin along the length of the first mounting surface 331. This facilitates adjustments to the appearance of the high-mounted stop lamp 400 after installation.

[0100] like Figure 13 and 14 As shown, in this embodiment, the reinforcement insert 330 has a receiving surface 333 at the bottom end of the first mounting surface 331. The receiving surface 333 extends toward the rear of the vehicle, and a portion of the bottom structure of the high-mounted stop lamp 400 is placed on the receiving surface 333. The provision of the receiving surface 333 can assist the first mounting surface 331 in bearing the weight of the high-mounted stop lamp 400, thereby further enhancing the stability of the high-mounted stop lamp 400.

[0101] like Figure 13 and 14 As shown, in this embodiment, five second threaded portions 510 are equidistantly spaced along the length of the spoiler 500. Five second mounting holes are provided on the second mounting surface 332 to accommodate the second threaded portions 510. Each second mounting hole corresponds to the second threaded portion 510. A second mounting bolt 520 is inserted through each second mounting hole and threadedly engages with the second threaded portion 510 after passing through the second mounting hole. This bolted connection secures the spoiler 500 to the second mounting surface 332, enhancing its stability. Furthermore, the second mounting holes have a 2 mm margin in both the length and width of the second mounting surface 332, facilitating adjustment of the spoiler 500's appearance in both directions.

[0102] like Figure 5 and 15 As shown, in this embodiment, the multifunctional roof assembly further includes a rear glass sliding mechanism 600, which is primarily used to drive the rear glass assembly 300 to slide along the length of the roof frame 100. This arrangement can enhance the automation level of the rear glass assembly 300, enabling automatic opening and closing of the rear glass assembly 300.

[0103] like Figure 15 and16 As shown, in this embodiment, the rear glass sliding mechanism 600 includes a slide rail 610, a sliding screw 620, a drive gear 630, a drive motor 640, and a link lifting assembly 650. There are two slide rails 610, two sliding screws 620, and two link lifting assemblies 650. The two slide rails 610 are bolted to the two side beams 130 and are arranged along the length of the side beams 130. The two link lifting assemblies 650 are slidably mounted on the two slide rails 610. The two sides of the roof rear glass assembly 300 are fixed to the two link lifting assemblies 650, respectively. The two link lifting assemblies 650 drive the roof rear glass assembly 300 from the rear to the front of the roof frame 100. The drive motor 640 is bolted to the center of the front crossbeam 110. The drive gear 630 is keyed to the output shaft of the drive motor 640, driving the drive gear 630 in rotation. Portions of two sliding screws 620 are respectively engaged within the two slide rails 610, allowing the sliding screws 620 to slide along the length of the slide rails 610. One end of each sliding screw 620 is connected to the connecting rod lifting assembly 650 on its corresponding side. The other end of each sliding screw 620 extends to the front crossbeam 110 and meshes with the drive gear 630. The drive motor 640 drives the drive gear 630 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting rod lifting assembly 650 to slide along the length of the slide rails 610, thereby moving the roof rear glass assembly 300. It should be noted that the coordination between the sliding screws 620 and the drive gear 630 can refer to the transmission structure of conventional vehicle electric sunroofs.

[0104] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, when the rear roof glass assembly 300 is closed, that is, the end of the rear roof glass assembly 300 near the front of the vehicle abuts the end of the front roof glass assembly 200 near the rear of the vehicle, making it difficult for the rear roof glass assembly 300 to move toward the front of the vehicle. Therefore, in this embodiment, a connecting rod lifting assembly 650 is used to allow the rear roof glass assembly 300 to be raised to a certain height during the initial opening phase and lowered and reset during the final closing phase, facilitating smooth opening and closing of the rear roof glass assembly 300. Furthermore, the provision of the connecting rod lifting assembly 650 also facilitates contact between the electronic connector 420 and the contact surface connector 160.

[0105] like Figures 17-20As shown, specifically, the connecting rod lifting assembly 650 includes a connecting plate 651, two rotating arms 652 and two sliders 653. The connecting plate 651 is fixed to the rear glass insert 320 of the roof rear glass assembly 300 by bolts. One end of the two rotating arms 652 is hinged to the two ends of the connecting plate 651, and the other ends of the two rotating arms 652 are hinged to the two sliders 653. The two sliders 653 are both slidably installed on the slide rail 610, and the slider 653 close to the front end of the vehicle is connected to one end of the sliding screw 620. The connecting rod lifting assembly 650 has two states, namely an open state and a closed state. When the sliding screw 620 slides toward the front side of the vehicle and drives the slider 653 connected thereto to slide toward the front side of the vehicle, the roof rear glass assembly 300 is blocked by the roof front glass assembly 200, causing the rotating arm 652 to rotate, and then forcing the connecting rod lifting assembly 650 to deform into an open state, thereby raising the roof rear glass assembly 300. When the horizontal height of the roof rear glass assembly 300 is higher than the roof middle glass assembly; and when the sliding screw 620 slides toward the rear side of the vehicle, causing the slider 653 near the rear side to slide to the end of the slide rail 610 near the rear of the vehicle, the slider 653 is blocked and no longer moves forward. At this time, the connecting rod lifting assembly 650 will be reset to the closed state, thereby lowering the roof rear glass assembly 300, thereby closing the roof rear glass assembly 300.

[0106] like Figure 18 As shown, in this embodiment, a block 621 is fixed to one end of the sliding screw 620, and a sliding block 653 near the front end has a slot 654 adapted to fit the block 621. When the block 621 is engaged with the slot 654, the sliding screw 620 and the sliding block 653 are connected, facilitating the fixing and removal of the sliding screw 620 and the sliding block 653.

[0107] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, a front trim 170 is mounted on the front cross member 110 of the roof frame 100. The front trim 170 is mounted on the front cross member 110 by means of a snap-fit ​​connection. Side trims 180 are mounted on both side long beams 130 of the roof frame 100. The side trims 180 are also mounted on the side long beams 130 by means of a snap-fit ​​connection. The installation of the front trim 170 and the side trim 180 further enhances the appearance of the roof frame 100.

[0108] like Figure 4 and 5 As shown, an embodiment of the present application further provides a vehicle, comprising a vehicle body 700 and the multifunctional roof assembly described above, wherein the multifunctional roof assembly is mounted on top of the vehicle body 700. By mounting the multifunctional roof assembly on top of the vehicle body 700, the vehicle roof assembly has a variety of functions, which can meet the development needs of automobiles and the consumption needs of consumers.
