Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of vehicles, and in particular to a roof structure and a vehicle. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous development of the automotive industry, vehicle aesthetics are gaining increasing attention. To enhance vehicle aesthetics, panoramic sunroof designs are being adopted on an increasing number of vehicles. However, when a vehicle's roof glass is designed with a panoramic sunroof, the sunroof encroaches on the roof sheet metal, making it difficult to properly install a roof rack. In related art, to install a roof rack on a panoramic sunroof, a fixing bracket is typically glued to the panoramic sunroof glass, mounting holes are created in the rack, and the rack is then bolted to the fixing bracket on the roof glass. Finally, the mounting holes are covered. However, this approach presents at least the following issues: 1. The rack cannot be quickly removed when it is not needed. 2. Because the fixing bracket is glued to the panoramic sunroof glass, it remains exposed after the rack is removed, reducing the vehicle's aesthetics. 3. The glue shrinks during curing, introducing tensile stress on the glass surface, causing glass cracking. Summary of the Invention

[0064] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0065] Implementation Method 1
[0066] Please refer to Figures 1 to 12 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a roof structure, which includes a roof component 100 and a mounting structure 200. The roof component 100 is formed with at least one mounting hole 310 connected to the interior space 40; the mounting structure 200 includes a mounting seat 210 arranged on the mounting hole 310, and a connector 220 detachably connected to the mounting seat 210. The connector 220 has a connection position that passes through the mounting seat 210 outward from the interior space 40, and a storage position that passes through the mounting seat 210 inward from the exterior space 50. When the connector 220 is in the connection position, the connector 220 can be used to be detachably connected to the luggage rack 10.
[0067] Overall, when the roof structure is in use, the roof member 100 is installed on the vehicle to form the top of the vehicle, and a mounting structure 200 is provided on the mounting hole 310 of the roof member 100. When the connector 220 of the mounting structure 200 is in the connected position, the connector 220 can pass through the mounting seat 210 and extend to the outside of the vehicle, so that it can be used to be detachably connected to the luggage rack 10, and then the luggage rack 10 is fixed to the vehicle for decorative purposes, which helps to improve the aesthetics of the vehicle.
[0068] Furthermore, when the luggage rack 10 is no longer required on the vehicle, the connection between the connector 220 and the luggage rack 10 is disconnected, allowing the luggage rack 10 to be quickly removed from the vehicle, thereby improving the efficiency of removing the luggage rack 10. The connector 220 can then be switched from the connected position to the stowed position, allowing the connector 220 to penetrate the mounting seat 210 and extend into the vehicle. Thus, the connector 220 can be stowed into the vehicle and conceal the mounting hole 310, preventing the connector 220 from significantly protruding from the roof member 100 and the mounting hole 310 from being exposed, thereby ensuring the aesthetics of the vehicle after the luggage rack 10 is removed.
[0069] In this embodiment of the present invention, mounting base 210 is detachably connected to mounting hole 310. This detachable connection facilitates replacement and repair of mounting base 210 if damaged. Designers can adjust the detachable connection between mounting base 210 and mounting hole 310 based on specific needs, and this is not a specific limitation.
[0070] Of course, in other feasible embodiments, the mounting seat 210 is fixedly connected to the mounting hole 310 , thereby improving the installation stability of the mounting seat 210 and facilitating better support of the connecting member 220 and the luggage rack 10 .
[0071] In an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 In the illustrated embodiment, at least one avoidance gap 110 is provided on the side edge of the roof component 100 , and a rim structure 300 is provided around the avoidance gap 110 , and a mounting hole 310 is formed in the area clamped by the rim structure 300 .
[0072] By surrounding the avoidance gap 110 with the edging structure 300, the edging structure 300 can seal the edge of the avoidance gap 110, thereby protecting the roof member 100. In addition, the edging structure 300 can serve as a foundation for supporting the luggage rack 10, helping to improve the installation stability of the luggage rack 10.
[0073] Preferably, Figure 1In the illustrated embodiment, a plurality of escape notches 110 are spaced apart on both sides of the roof member 100. Each escape notch 110 on the same side is connected to a luggage rack 10 via the mounting structure 200, thereby providing multiple points of fixation for the luggage rack 10 and significantly improving the installation stability of the luggage rack 10. More preferably, two escape notches 110 are spaced apart on each side of the roof member 100.
[0074] Of course, designers can adjust the specific number and arrangement of the avoidance gaps 110 according to usage needs, and no specific restrictions are made here.
[0075] In an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 In the embodiment shown, the edging structure 300 includes an edging body arranged on the avoidance gap 110, and the mounting seat 210 includes a base 211 and a clamping portion 212 connected to the base 211. The base 211 covers the mounting hole 310, and a first connecting through hole 213 is provided on the base 211. The connecting member 220 can switch between the connection position and the storage position by adjusting the plug-in direction in the first connecting through hole 213. The clamping portion 212 is arranged around the first connecting through hole 213 and plugged into the mounting hole 310. At least part of the clamping portion 212 is arranged on both sides of the edging body relative to the base 211.
[0076] By matching the clamping portion 212 with the base 211 , the base 211 can be clamped on the edging body more stably, so that the base 211 can provide better support for the connecting member 220 .
[0077] In addition, a first connecting through hole 213 is provided on the base 211. By adjusting the plugging direction of the connecting member 220 in the first connecting through hole 213, the connecting member 220 can be switched between the connecting position and the storage position, which has better adjustment convenience.
[0078] Further, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the embodiment shown, a limiting groove 320 surrounding the mounting hole 310 is provided on the outer end surface of the edging body, and the inner side of the limiting groove 320 is connected to the mounting hole 310; the base 211 is arranged in a plate shape and is placed in the limiting groove 320.
[0079] By providing the limiting groove 320 on the edging body and placing the base 211 in the limiting groove 320 , the base 211 is prevented from protruding from the edging body, which is beneficial to improving the aesthetics of the base 211 after installation.
[0080] Since the mounting hole 310 is provided on the roof member 100 , rainwater and dust can easily enter the mounting hole 310 along the gap between the base 211 and the edging body and enter the vehicle through the mounting hole 310 .
[0081] To avoid the above problems, in an embodiment of the present invention, a first sealing structure is provided between the base 211 and the edging body. The first sealing structure can seal between the base 211 and the edging body, thereby preventing rainwater and dust from entering the vehicle.
[0082] Specifically, such as Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 In the illustrated embodiment, the first sealing structure includes a sealing portion 330 protruding from the bottom of the limiting groove 320 . The sealing portion 330 is disposed around the mounting hole 310 and can abut against the base 211 .
[0083] By providing a sealing portion 330 at the bottom of the limiting groove 320 , the sealing portion 330 can be pressed between the edging body and the base 211 , thereby achieving a sealing effect.
[0084] The designer can adjust the specific shape and structure of the sealing portion 330 according to the use requirements, and no specific limitation is imposed here. Preferably, the sealing portion 330 is configured to be in the shape of a sealing lip.
[0085] More preferably, a plurality of sealing parts 330 are provided, and the plurality of sealing parts 330 are arranged in a ring at intervals, thereby being able to play multiple sealing roles and significantly improving the sealing effect.
[0086] In an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 and Figure 8 In the embodiment shown, the base 211 is spaced apart from the side wall of the limiting groove 320, and the edging structure 300 also includes a drainage groove 340 arranged at the bottom of the limiting groove 320. The drainage groove 340 is arranged around the base 211 and is placed on the outside of the sealing part 330. A drainage port 350 connected to the drainage groove 340 is also provided on the edging body.
[0087] By spacing the base 211 and the side walls of the limiting groove 320, the base 211 is prevented from contacting the side walls of the limiting groove 320, thereby reducing the risk of the base 211 being affected by the vibration of the vehicle and rubbing or colliding with the side walls of the limiting groove 320, thereby reducing or avoiding wear damage and noise.
[0088] Because there is a gap between the base 211 and the sidewall of the limiting groove 320, rainwater can easily enter the gap. In order to better collect and drain rainwater in the limiting groove 320, a drainage groove 340 is further provided at the bottom of the limiting groove 320. The drainage groove 340 can collect and divert rainwater, thereby directing rainwater to the drainage port 350 on the edging body for discharge, thereby improving the drainage effect.
[0089] The designer can adjust the specific arrangement of the drainage groove 340 according to the use requirements, and no specific limitation is made here. Preferably, the drainage groove 340 is extended along the outer side wall of the limiting groove 320.
[0090] In an embodiment of the present invention, the edging body is injection molded on the avoidance notch 110, thereby improving the matching accuracy between the edging body and the avoidance notch 110 and making the edging body have better structural integrity, thereby facilitating improving the structural strength of the edging body.
[0091] Of course, in other feasible implementations, designers can adjust the specific setting method of the edging body according to usage needs. For example, the edging body can be set on the avoidance gap 110 by snapping or sticking, etc., and no specific restrictions are made here.
[0092] After the connecting member 220 is connected to the base 211 , a gap still exists between the connecting member 220 and the base 211 , so that rainwater or dust can easily enter the vehicle through the gap.
[0093] To avoid the above problems, in an embodiment of the present invention, a second sealing structure is provided between the connector 220 and the base 211. By providing the second sealing structure between the connector 220 and the base 211, the sealing effect between the connector 220 and the base 211 is improved, thereby being able to block rain and dust.
[0094] In one possible embodiment, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the illustrated embodiment, the second sealing structure includes a sealing ring 230 sleeved on the connecting member 220 . The sealing ring 230 is disposed around the first connecting through hole 213 and abuts between the connecting member 220 and the base 211 .
[0095] Of course, in other feasible embodiments, designers can adjust the specific setting method of the second sealing structure according to usage requirements, and no specific limitation is made here.
[0096] When the connecting member 220 is connected to the luggage rack 10 , a gap still exists between the connecting member 220 and the luggage rack 10 , so that rainwater or dust can easily enter the luggage rack 10 through the gap, thereby affecting the service life of the luggage rack 10 .
[0097] In order to avoid the above problems, in an embodiment of the present invention, the roof structure further includes a third sealing structure. When the connector 220 and the luggage rack 10 are in a connected state, the third sealing structure is disposed between the base 211 and the luggage rack 10 .
[0098] By setting the third sealing structure between the base 211 and the luggage rack 10, the third sealing structure can seal the gap between the connecting member 220 and the luggage rack 10, preventing rainwater or dust from entering the luggage rack 10, thereby improving the service life of the luggage rack 10.
[0099] In one possible embodiment, if Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 12 In the embodiment shown, the third sealing structure includes a sealing gasket 400, which is provided with at least one second connecting hole 410 for the connecting member 220 to pass through. The sealing gasket 400 is arranged along the extension direction of the luggage rack 10 and abuts against the base 211, the roof structure 100 and the luggage rack 10.
[0100] By disposing the gasket 400 between the base 211 , the roof member 100 and the luggage rack 10 , the gasket 400 can perform a sealing function between the base 211 and the luggage rack 10 .
[0101] Among them, since the luggage rack 10 and the roof structure 100 are easily out of tolerance due to the rebound force after the sealing gasket 400 is compressed, the sealing gasket 400 located between the roof structure 100 and the luggage rack 10 only plays a dust-proof role and has no requirements for sealing.
[0102] The material and structure of the sealing gasket 400 can be adjusted by the designer according to the use requirements, and no specific limitation is imposed here. Preferably, the sealing gasket 400 is formed by foam. Moreover, the cross section of the sealing gasket 400 can be set to be rectangular.
[0103] In an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 12 In the embodiment shown, at least a portion of the sealing gasket 400 is provided with a hollow structure 420. By providing the hollow structure 420 on the sealing gasket 400, the weight of the sealing gasket 400 can be reduced.
[0104] Furthermore, considering that the sealing gasket 400 between the roof member 100 and the luggage rack 10 only serves to prevent dust and does not require sealing, the hollow structure 420 is provided on the sealing gasket 400 between the roof member 100 and the luggage rack 10 .
[0105] Of course, designers can adjust the specific location of the hollow structure 420 according to usage requirements, and no specific restrictions are imposed here.
[0106] In an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 12 In the embodiment shown, the hollow structure 420 includes a plurality of hollow through holes spaced apart on the sealing gasket 400; along the length direction of the sealing gasket 400, the spacing between adjacent hollow through holes is 8mm-12mm; along the width direction of the sealing gasket 400, the spacing between the edge of the hollow through hole and the side edge of the sealing gasket 400 is 6mm-10mm.
[0107] Preferably, the hollow through hole is elliptical in shape, and the long axis of the hollow through hole is arranged along the length direction of the sealing gasket 400 , and the size of the long axis of the hollow through hole is 20 mm-25 mm.
[0108] Of course, in other feasible embodiments, designers can adjust the size and shape of the hollow structure 420 according to usage requirements, and no specific limitation is made here.
[0109] In an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 7 In the embodiment shown, an installation gap 20 for installing the pressure sensor 30 is provided between the base 211 and the edging body. The installation gap 20 is located between the sealing portion 330 and the clamping portion 212. At least one circuit through-hole 360 connecting the installation gap 20 and the interior space 40 of the vehicle is also provided on the edging body.
[0110] Specifically, the sealing portion 330 is disposed around the outside of the mounting hole 310 , so that a substantially annular mounting gap 20 can be formed between the mounting hole 310 and the clamping portion 212 .
[0111] By arranging the pressure sensor 30 in the installation gap 20 , the pressure sensor 30 can abut against the base 211 and the edging body, thereby playing a role in detecting pressure data on the luggage rack 10 .
[0112] Furthermore, in order to facilitate data transmission of the pressure sensor 30 , a circuit through-hole 360 is further provided on the edging body, and the circuit of the pressure sensor 30 can be connected to the module in the vehicle through the circuit through-hole 360 .
[0113] Preferably, the number of circuit through holes 360 may correspond to the number of pressure sensors 30 and be placed on the side of the corresponding pressure sensors 30 , thereby helping to reduce the length of the circuit of the pressure sensor 30 .
[0114] In a possible embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 10 In the illustrated embodiment, the connecting member 220 includes a bolt 221 , and a corresponding screw hole 12 is provided on the luggage rack 10 , and the bolt 221 and the screw hole 12 can be matched and connected.
[0115] By providing the screw hole 12 on the luggage rack 10 , the bolt 221 can directly connect the base 211 and the luggage rack 10 , resulting in a simple and reliable structure and reduced difficulty in installation and disassembly.
[0116] Designers can adjust the number of mounting structures 200 based on actual needs, and this is not a specific limitation. Preferably, two screw holes 12 are spaced apart on the luggage rack 10. Accordingly, two mounting structures 200 are spaced apart on one side edge of the roof member 100. These are connected to the two screw holes 12 on the luggage rack 10 via two bolts 221, providing a multi-point fixation mechanism and increasing the stability of the luggage rack 10.
[0117] Preferably, the nut of bolt 221 is flat, and its thickness does not exceed a first predetermined value. By controlling the thickness of the nut of bolt 221, the height of the nut protruding from the roof member 100 can be reduced, thereby improving the aesthetics. Designers can adjust the specific value of the first predetermined value based on actual needs, and no specific numerical limit is imposed here.
[0118] Furthermore, the nut, the base 211 , and the edging body can be set to the same color as the roof component 100 , so that the colors of the various components match, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the roof structure.
[0119] In another possible embodiment of the present invention, Figure 6 In the illustrated embodiment, the luggage rack 10 is provided with a snap-fit structure 500 that cooperates with the connector 220. The connector 220 can be detachably connected to the snap-fit structure 500. Designers can adjust the specific structure between the connector 220 and the snap-fit structure 500 according to usage needs and are not specifically limited here.
[0120] Preferably, the clamping structure 500 includes a nut sleeve 510 and a nut 520 . The nut sleeve 510 is fixed to the luggage rack 10 via the nut 520 . An inwardly contracted oblique cone section 511 is formed inside the nut sleeve 510 .
[0121] Specifically, the nut sleeve 510 is inserted into the luggage rack 10. One end of the nut sleeve 510 is provided with a protrusion so that it can form an axial limit with the outer wall of the luggage rack 10. The other end of the nut sleeve 510 is inserted into the inner cavity of the luggage rack 10 and connected to the nut 520, so that the nut sleeve 510 can be fixed to the luggage rack 10 through the nut 520.
[0122] Furthermore, the connecting member 220 includes a hollow pressing bolt 222, an inner column 223 adjustably inserted in the pressing bolt 222, a return spring 224 arranged between the pressing bolt 222 and the inner column 223, and at least one ball 225. The pressing bolt 222 can be threadedly connected to the mounting hole 310. When the connecting member 220 and the nut sleeve 510 are in a connected state, at least part of the pressing bolt 222 is inserted in the nut sleeve 510. At least one adjustment through hole 226 for the ball 225 to pass through is provided on the side wall of the pressing bolt 222 facing the oblique cone section 511. The inner column 223 is provided with an inwardly contracted adjustment section, and the adjustment section can form a receiving groove 227 on the inner column 223.
[0123] The inner column 223 has a locking position and an unlocking position, and the return spring 224 can push the inner column 223 to move from the unlocking position to the locking position; when the inner column 223 is in the locking position, the inner column 223 pushes the ball 225 through the adjustment section so that the ball 225 enters the adjustment hole 226 and abuts against the oblique cone section 511 and the adjustment section respectively; when the inner column 223 is in the unlocking position, the ball 225 can enter the receiving groove 227 through the adjustment hole 226.
[0124] The pressing bolt 222, inner column 223, nut sleeve 510, return spring 224, and ball bearing 225 cooperate to form a pressing bolt assembly. This assembly allows for quick unlocking and locking, significantly improving the installation efficiency of the luggage rack 10. Furthermore, when the luggage rack 10 is not installed on a vehicle, the connector 220 can still be stored inside the vehicle, thus enhancing its aesthetics.
[0125] In an embodiment of the present invention, the inner column 223 includes a pressing cap 2231 , and the pressing bolt 222 includes a bolt cap 2221 . When the inner column 223 is in the locking position, the pressing cap 2231 and the bolt cap 2221 are at the same height.
[0126] By placing the pressing cap 2231 and the bolt cap 2221 at the same height, the height difference between the pressing cap 2231 and the bolt cap 2221 is eliminated, which helps to improve the aesthetics of the pressing bolt assembly when in use.
[0127] In an embodiment of the present invention, the roof structure 100 includes a panoramic skylight glass, and two avoidance gaps 110 are arranged on both side edges of the panoramic skylight glass at intervals. Each avoidance gap 110 is provided with a mounting structure 200, and a single luggage rack 10 can be connected to the panoramic skylight glass through the two mounting structures 200 on the same side.
[0128] In existing technologies, when panoramic sunroof glass is glued to a mounting bracket, the glue shrinks during curing, introducing tensile stress on the glass surface and causing glass cracking. However, the edging body of the present invention is injection-molded onto the roof member 100 and supports the mounting structure 200. This eliminates the need for glue on the roof member 100, eliminates the tensile stress caused by the curing glue, and reduces the risk of cracking the panoramic sunroof glass.
[0129] Of course, in other feasible embodiments, designers can adjust the specific structure of the roof member 100 according to usage requirements. For example, the roof member 100 can be a roof sheet metal, which is not specifically limited here.
[0130] Implementation Method 2
[0131] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the present invention also provides a vehicle, including a vehicle body, a luggage rack 10 and a roof structure as described in embodiment 1, wherein the roof structure is arranged on the top of the vehicle body, and the luggage rack 10 can be connected to the roof structure through a mounting structure 200.
[0132] The specific structure, working principle and beneficial effects of the roof structure are the same as those described in the first embodiment, and will not be repeated here. The vehicle can quickly fix the luggage rack 10 on the vehicle by using the roof structure to play a decorative role, which helps to improve the aesthetics of the vehicle.
[0133] Furthermore, when the luggage rack 10 is no longer required on the vehicle, the connection between the connector 220 and the luggage rack 10 is disconnected, allowing the luggage rack 10 to be quickly removed from the vehicle, thereby improving removal efficiency. The connector 220 can then be switched from the connected position to the stowed position, preventing the connector 220 from significantly protruding from the roof member 100 and the mounting hole 310 from being exposed, thereby ensuring the aesthetics of the vehicle after the luggage rack 10 is removed.
[0134] In an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 In the embodiment shown, the roof structure includes a roof component 100 and a mounting structure 200. The roof component 100 includes a panoramic skylight glass, which is arranged on the top of the vehicle body. Two luggage racks 10 can be installed on the panoramic skylight glass through the mounting structure 200. The two luggage racks 10 are symmetrically arranged along the width direction of the vehicle.
[0135] Of course, in other feasible embodiments, designers can adjust the specific layout of the luggage rack 10 according to usage needs, and no specific restrictions are made here.
[0136] In an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 5In the embodiment shown, the luggage rack 10 includes a rod body having a hollow inner cavity extending along the length direction of the vehicle. Designers can adjust the specific structure of the luggage rack 10 according to usage needs, and no specific limitation is made here.
[0137] Furthermore, in order to further improve the strength of the luggage rack 10 and reduce the risk of the luggage rack 10 breaking, in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. Figure 11 In the illustrated embodiment, the luggage rack 10 further includes a reinforcing structure disposed in the hollow inner cavity, and the reinforcing structure includes at least one reinforcing rib 11 .
[0138] The designer may adjust the specific number and structure of the reinforcement ribs 11 according to the needs of use, and no specific restrictions are imposed here. For example, a reinforcement rib 11 is provided in the hollow inner cavity of the luggage rack 10, and the reinforcement rib 11 is vertically provided and connects the upper and lower inner walls of the luggage rack 10.
[0139] In order to reduce the risk of damage to the luggage rack 10, the luggage rack 10 may only serve as a decoration. In addition, in order to avoid damage to the luggage rack 10 caused by heavy objects placed on the luggage rack 10, in an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 In the embodiment shown, the vehicle further includes an alarm module, which includes a plurality of pressure sensors 30. The roof structure includes an installation gap 20. Each pressure sensor 30 is arranged in the installation gap 20 and is respectively placed on both sides of each luggage rack 10 along the width direction of the vehicle. When the pressure signal of the pressure sensor 30 exceeds a preset value, the alarm module triggers an alarm.
[0140] Designers can adjust the alarm module's triggering method based on usage needs, and this is not specifically limited here. For example, the alarm module triggers an alarm when the pressure signal from any pressure sensor 30 exceeds a preset value. Alternatively, the alarm module triggers an alarm when the pressure signals from each pressure sensor 30 on both sides of the luggage rack 10 exceed a preset value. Alternatively, the alarm module triggers an alarm when the pressure signals from all pressure sensors 30 exceed a preset value.
[0141] Preferably, when the pressure signals of the pressure sensors 30 on both sides of the luggage rack 10 exceed the preset value, the alarm module triggers the alarm. This setting can reduce or avoid false triggering caused by normal shaking during vehicle driving.
[0142] Each embodiment in this specification is described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the embodiments can be referred to each other. The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present invention.
