Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of automobiles, specifically to a vehicle roof shielding device, control method, and vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] As people pursue a better life, there are increasing demands for non-vehicle transportation functions during car use. For example, in current cars, there is no upper shield between the door and the body after opening the door. In sunny or rainy weather, when people get out of the car and open their umbrellas, they are often exposed to the sun or rain due to the lack of protection, affecting the driving and riding experience. At the same time, in dark environments at night, it is often difficult to see the road conditions after opening the door. If the road surface is bad, it is easy to step on potholes and cause injury, which also affects the driving and riding experience. Due to the limited interior space of the car, the in-car screen is only a dozen inches in size, and the space is cramped when watching inside the car. If people want to experience the effect of large-screen projection outdoors, there are few in-car devices that can meet this demand. If projectors are used, the projection effect is very poor during the day due to the influence of light, which cannot meet people's needs for in-car audio-visual functions. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention aims to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention provides a vehicle roof shielding device that effectively shields the head area while providing lighting and video playback functions.

[0004] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a vehicle roof shielding device is used for a vehicle roof, the vehicle roof shielding device comprising:

[0053] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "set up," "install," and "connect" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0054] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described below are some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments.

[0055] During vehicle use, there are increasing demands for functions beyond vehicle transportation. For example, in current cars, there is no upper shield between the door and the body after opening the door. In sunny or rainy weather, passengers getting out of the car with an umbrella are often exposed to the sun or rain due to the lack of protection, affecting the passenger experience. Similarly, in dark environments at night, visibility is often poor, increasing the risk of stepping on potholes and other hazards, also impacting the passenger experience. Furthermore, due to space limitations inside the car, in-car screens are typically only a few inches in size, and viewing them inside the car is cramped. Therefore, enjoying a large-screen experience outdoors is a significant challenge. In terms of performance, few in-vehicle devices can meet this demand. If projectors are used, the projection effect is poor during the day due to the influence of light, which cannot satisfy people's needs for in-vehicle audio-visual functions. At the same time, as more and more people enjoy camping, cars, due to their structural limitations, cannot provide a good shaded area outside the vehicle. And staying inside the car, the space is small and the air circulation is poor, which cannot satisfy people's desire to enjoy the beauty of nature. In addition, as the number of in-vehicle devices increases, the power consumption of vehicles is also increasing. Vehicles can usually only be recharged through charging stations or by converting fuel into electricity, which is costly and limited by location.

[0056] Therefore, this invention provides a vehicle roof shielding device for use on the roof 100. The vehicle roof shielding device of this embodiment includes: a shielding plate and an adjustment assembly, such as... Figure 1As shown, there are two shields, namely a first shield 200 and a second shield 300. The second shield 300 and the first shield 200 are laid side by side on the roof 100. In this embodiment of the invention, the shield is a rectangular plate structure. In other embodiments, the shield can adopt other shapes of plate structures. The bottom surface of the shield in this embodiment is set as a light-emitting screen. It can be understood that an LED screen is installed on the bottom surface of the shield so that the bottom surface of the shield can be lit up to serve as a lighting function, and can also be used as a playback screen, just like a traditional screen playback.

[0057] In addition to traditional LED screens, the materials for luminous screens can also include sheet metal, glass, carbon fiber, thick protective steel plates, flexible screens, etc.

[0058] The adjustment assembly of this embodiment includes a first moving and rotating mechanism 400 and a second moving and rotating mechanism 500. The first moving and rotating mechanism 400 is installed at the left end of the first cover plate 200, and the second moving and rotating mechanism 500 is installed at the right end of the second cover plate 300. The first moving and rotating mechanism 400 is used to drive the first cover plate 200 to extend out of the roof 100 in the left and right direction, and then drive the extended end of the first cover plate 200 to rotate up and down. It can be understood that the first moving and rotating mechanism 400 drives the first cover plate 200 to extend out from the right side of the roof 100, and then drives the first cover plate 200 to rotate up and down around its own left end. The second moving and rotating mechanism 500 is used to drive the second cover plate 300 to extend out of the roof 100 in the left and right direction, and then drives the extended end of the second cover plate 300 to rotate up and down. It can be understood that the second moving and rotating mechanism 500 drives the second cover plate 300 to extend out from the left side of the roof 100, and then drives the second cover plate 300 to rotate up and down around its own right end.

[0059] like Figure 2 As shown, when the door is opened, the first moving and rotating mechanism 400 drives the first shield 200 to extend out to the right side of the roof 100 in the left-right direction, and / or the second moving and rotating mechanism 500 drives the second shield 300 to extend out to the left side of the roof 100 in the left-right direction, to meet the need for head shielding when passengers get off the vehicle. After the above-mentioned door opening and shielding action is completed, the light-emitting screen on the bottom surface of the shield is activated to illuminate the door area; after the door opening and shielding action is completed, as... Figure 3As shown, the right end of the first shield 200 can be flipped upward by the first moving and rotating mechanism 400, and / or the left end of the second shield 300 can be flipped upward by the second moving and rotating mechanism 500, so that the first shield 200 and / or the second shield 300 rotate to a predetermined position to achieve the effect of two small screens standing on both sides of the car. At this time, the luminous screen is used to play videos. The embodiment of the present invention solves the problem that when people open the door of the car and get out of the car with an umbrella, they are exposed to the sun or rain because there is no shield between the car door and the car body. In dark environments at night, after opening the door, the luminous screen above the head illuminates the opening area, avoiding injury caused by people who are unfamiliar with the road conditions. It can also be turned into a screen that can play videos, further meeting people's needs for car audio and video functions.

[0060] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the adjustment assembly of this embodiment of the invention further includes a locking mechanism and a third moving and rotating mechanism 600. The locking mechanism is used to lock and separate the ends of the first cover plate 200 and the second cover plate 300 that are close to each other. It can be understood that when the first cover plate 200 and the second cover plate 300 are arranged side by side on the roof 100, the locking mechanism connects the ends of the first cover plate 200 and the second cover plate 300 that are close to each other to achieve locking. At this time, the first cover plate 200 and the second cover plate 300 are connected as an integral structure.

[0061] In this embodiment of the invention, the third moving and rotating mechanism 600 is located at the end of the first cover plate 200 away from the second cover plate 300. Specifically, the third moving and rotating mechanism 600 is located at the right end of the first cover plate 200. The third moving and rotating mechanism 600 is used to drive the first cover plate 200 and the second cover plate 300 to extend out of the roof 100 in the left and right direction, and then drive the first cover plate 200 and the second cover plate 300 to rotate up and down together. It can be understood that firstly, the first cover plate 200 and the second cover plate 300 are connected into an integral structure by a locking mechanism, and then the third moving and rotating mechanism 600 drives the first cover plate 200 and the second cover plate 300 to extend out from the left side of the roof 100, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown, the first shield 200 and the second shield 300 form a canopy effect, and at the same time, the light-emitting screens at the bottom of the first shield 200 and the second shield 300 can be lit up to be used as lighting.

[0062] After the sky curtain is formed, as Figure 5 As shown, the first shield 200 and the second shield 300 are rotated together around the right end of the first shield 200 and flipped upwards to a predetermined position to achieve the effect of a large screen standing up on one side of the car.

[0063] The specific mechanisms of the first moving and rotating mechanism 400, the second moving and rotating mechanism 500, and the third moving and rotating mechanism 600 are as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the adjustment assembly of this embodiment further includes two guide rails 110 extending laterally and fixed to the roof 100. The two guide rails 110 are respectively disposed on the front and rear sides of the first cover plate 200 and the second cover plate 300. The first moving and rotating mechanism 400, the second moving and rotating mechanism 500, and the third moving and rotating mechanism 600 are all slidably and rotatably connected to the guide rails 110, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the guide rail 110 is provided with a rack 111 and a locking mechanism, and the rack 111 extends to the left and right.

[0064] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first moving and rotating mechanism 400, the second moving and rotating mechanism 500, and the third moving and rotating mechanism 600 of this embodiment of the invention each include at least one rotary motor 700. The rotary motor 700 is fixedly installed on the corresponding baffle plate. The rotary motor 700 is connected to a gear 710 that meshes with the rack 111. The gear 710 extends axially back and forth. In this embodiment of the invention, the rotary motor 700 drives the gear 710 to rotate, and the left and right movement of the baffle plate is realized under the action of the gear 710 meshing with the rack 111.

[0065] The locking mechanism is used to lock the relative rotation between the gear 710 and the guide rail 110. When it is necessary to flip the cover, the gear 710 can be locked by the locking mechanism. At this time, the rotary motor 700 can be started. The gear 710 is the fixed end and the rotary motor 700 is the driven end. When the rotary motor 700 rotates, it drives the corresponding cover to rotate relative to the gear 710 and the guide rail 110. It can be understood that at this time, the rotary motor 700 drives the cover to flip relative to the roof 100.

[0066] In this embodiment, gears 710 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the left and right ends of the first baffle plate 200, and gears 710 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the right end of the second baffle plate 300. In some embodiments, the gears 710 on the front and rear sides can be synchronously driven by a rotary motor 700. However, in this embodiment, the first moving and rotating mechanism 400, the second moving and rotating mechanism 500, and the third moving and rotating mechanism 600 are each provided with two rotary motors 700. The rotary motors 700 are respectively installed on the front and rear sides of the baffle plate, and each rotary motor 700 is connected to a gear 710, which can improve the stability of driving the baffle plate.

[0067] like Figure 1As shown, the first moving and rotating mechanism 400, the second moving and rotating mechanism 500, and the third moving and rotating mechanism 600 of this embodiment of the invention all include a rotating shaft 800 fixedly connected to the baffle plate. The rotating shaft 800 extends forward and backward, and a rotary motor 700 is provided at both the front and rear ends of the rotating shaft 800. It can be understood that the rotating shaft 800 is installed at both the left and right ends of the first baffle plate 200, and the rotating shaft 800 is installed at the right end of the second baffle plate 300. The rotary motor 700 is fixedly installed through the rotating shaft 800.

[0068] In this embodiment of the invention, the locking mechanism locks the gear 710 to the end of the guide rail 110. Only after the cover plate extends out of the roof 100 can the cover plate be rotated. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the gear 710 in this embodiment is provided with a locking pin hole 711, wherein the locking pin hole 711 is provided on the outer end face of the gear 710, and the locking mechanism includes a locking structure located at the end of the guide rail 110. In this embodiment, a locking structure is provided at both the left and right ends of the two guide rails 110. The locking structure includes a locking drive unit 900 and a locking pin 910. The locking drive unit 900 is used to drive the locking pin 910 in the front-back direction. In this embodiment, the locking drive unit 900 is a cylinder. In other embodiments, other linear drive structures can be used. The locking drive unit 900 is fixed on the outside of the guide rail 110, and a through hole 112 opposite to the locking pin 910 is provided on the side wall of the guide rail 110. When the gear 710 moves to the end of the guide rail 110 and the locking pin hole 711 is in a position opposite to the through hole 112, the locking drive unit 900 drives the locking pin 910 in the front-back direction, so that the locking pin 910 is engaged with the locking pin hole 711 to lock the rotation of the gear 710.

[0069] Furthermore, when the shield is in the set state, the shield can be locked by the locking mechanism to improve the stability of the shield.

[0070] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the guide rail 110 of this embodiment of the invention is provided with a sliding groove 113 on its inner side. A transmission shaft 720 is connected between the gear 710 and the rotary motor 700. The transmission shaft 720 and the sliding groove 113 can be slidably rotated together. The transmission between the gear 710 and the rotary motor 700 is realized through the transmission shaft 720. At the same time, the transmission shaft 720 can also realize the sliding rotational cooperation between the baffle plate and the guide rail 110. When the baffle plate is flipped, the baffle plate flips around the transmission shaft 720.

[0071] like Figure 1As shown, the locking mechanism of this embodiment includes at least two locking drive units 210 mounted on one of the baffle plates. Each locking drive unit 210 is connected to a locking pin 211. The extension lines of the engagement movements of the at least two locking pins 211 are intersecting. The other baffle plate has locking pin holes 810 corresponding to the locking pins 211. Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, two locking drive units 210 are provided on the top surface of the first baffle plate 200. The locking drive unit 210 in this embodiment is a cylinder. In other embodiments, other linear drive structures can be used. A locking pin hole 810 is provided on the second baffle plate 300. The locking drive unit 210 is used to drive the locking pin 211 to engage with the locking pin hole 810 to lock the first baffle plate 200 and the second baffle plate 300.

[0072] In this embodiment of the invention, the two locking drive units 210 are arranged in a figure-eight shape when viewed from above, so that the two locking pins 211 are arranged in a figure-eight shape. In this way, when the two locking pins 211 are inserted into the locking pin holes 810, the first baffle plate 200 and the second baffle plate 300 can be locked in the left-right direction and the front-back direction, and the structure is simple.

[0073] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the locking pin hole 810 is provided on the rotating shaft 800. In this embodiment, the locking pin hole 810 is provided on the rotating shaft 800 at the right end of the second shielding plate 300, and the locking pin hole 810 is also provided on the rotating shaft 800 at the left end of the first shielding plate 200. The locking pin 211 is inserted between the locking pin holes 810 of the two rotating shafts 800 to improve the stability of the connection between the first shielding plate 200 and the second shielding plate 300.

[0074] In other embodiments, locking mechanisms of other forms may be used, and gears 710 may be replaced by links, chains, or other similar forms.

[0075] In this embodiment of the invention, the top surface of the shield is a solar panel for converting solar energy into electrical energy. When the shield is retracted, the light-emitting screen faces downwards, while the solar panel faces upwards, so that the entire device can provide energy to the car under sunlight. When the device is in the skylight mode, the solar panel faces upwards, which can also provide energy.

[0076] like Figure 8 As shown, this embodiment of the invention also provides a control method applicable to the aforementioned vehicle roof shielding device, the control method comprising the following steps:

[0077] Step S100: In response to the door opening action command, control the first cover 200 to extend out of the roof 100, and / or control the second cover 300 to extend out of the roof 100, and control the light-up screen to light up;

[0078] Step S200: Set the vehicle roof shielding device to have screen display effect mode, skylight effect mode, and large screen effect mode.

[0079] Step S300: In response to the action command of the screen display effect mode, control the extended end of the first cover plate 200 to flip upward to the first preset position, and / or control the extended end of the second cover plate 300 to flip upward to the second preset position.

[0080] Step S400: In response to the action command of the panoramic effect mode, lock the first shield 200 and the second shield 300 together, and control the first shield 200 and the second shield 300 to extend out of the roof 100.

[0081] Step S500: In response to the action command of the large screen effect mode, control the first cover 200 and the second cover 300 extending from the roof 100 to flip upward to the third preset position.

[0082] In step S100, the rotary motors 700 on the first and second moving rotating mechanisms 400 and 500 can be activated in response to the opening and closing of the car doors. When the right-side door is opened, the rotary motor 700 on the first moving rotating mechanism 400 is activated, driving the gear 710 to rotate, thereby causing the first cover plate 200 to extend out of the right side of the roof 100. When the gear 710 moves to the position corresponding to the locking pin hole 711 and the through hole 112 at the right end of the guide rail 110, the locking drive unit 900 drives the locking pin 910 in the front-rear direction, so that the locking pin 910 engages with the locking pin hole 711 to lock the rotation of the gear 710. This can achieve... Similarly, when the left-side door is opened, the rotary motor 700 on the second moving and rotating mechanism 500 starts, driving the gear 710 to rotate. This causes the second cover plate 300 to extend out to the right side of the roof 100. When the gear 710 moves to the position corresponding to the locking pin hole 711 and the through hole 112 at the left end of the guide rail 110, the locking drive unit 900 drives the locking pin 910 in the front-rear direction, so that the locking pin 910 engages with the locking pin hole 711, locking the rotation of the gear 710. This achieves the left-side door covering effect. After the door opening and covering action is completed, the luminous screen is illuminated to illuminate the door area. Figure 2 As shown.

[0083] In step S300, according to user needs, when a screen display effect is required on the right side of the vehicle, after the right door of the vehicle is opened and blocked, the rotary motor 700 on the first moving and rotating mechanism 400 is controlled to rotate in the opposite direction, causing the first blocking plate 200 to flip upward to a set position; similarly, when a screen display effect is required on the left side of the vehicle, after the left door of the vehicle is opened and blocked, the rotary motor 700 on the second moving and rotating mechanism 500 is controlled to rotate in the opposite direction, causing the second blocking plate 300 to flip upward to a set position. At this time, the luminous screen serves as a screen for playing videos, thereby achieving the effect of two small screens standing on both sides of the car, such as... Figure 3 As shown.

[0084] In step S400, when a canopy effect is required on the side of the vehicle, all locking drive units 210 drive the locking pins 211 to engage with the locking pin holes 810, locking the first shield 200 and the second shield 300 into a single structure. Then, the rotary motor 700 on the third moving and rotating mechanism 600 is started, driving the gear 710 to rotate, causing the first shield 200 and the second shield 300 to extend from the left side of the roof 100. When the gear 710 moves to the position corresponding to the locking pin hole 711 and the through hole 112 at the left end of the guide rail 110, the locking drive unit 900 drives the locking pin 910 in the front-rear direction, causing the locking pin 910 to engage with the locking pin hole 711, locking the rotation of the gear 710 and forming the canopy effect. Figure 4 As shown.

[0085] When the canopy effect is activated, the solar panels on the first shield 200 and the second shield 300 can provide additional energy, while the luminous screen can illuminate the area in use.

[0086] In step S500, after the canopy is formed, the rotary motor 700 on the third moving and rotating mechanism 600 is controlled to rotate in the opposite direction, causing the first shield 200 and the second shield 300 to rotate upwards around the right end of the first shield 200 to a predetermined position, so as to achieve the effect of a large screen standing up on one side of the car. Figure 5 As shown.

[0087] This invention can unfold one or two screens to meet the needs of users for different screen sizes.
