Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automobile parts, and in particular to a foldable soft-top skylight and an automobile. Background Art

[0002] With the development of automotive technology, soft-top sunroofs are becoming more widely used. Soft-top sunroofs typically include guide rails, sliders, and a window cloth. The guide rails extend along the vehicle's fore-and-aft direction. The sliders slide within the rails and connect to the window cloth. A drive device drives the sliders along the vehicle's fore-and-aft direction, enabling the window cloth to fold backward or unfold forward. However, once the window cloth begins to fold or unfold, all sliders simultaneously lose their constraints along the vehicle's fore-and-aft direction, meaning all sliders begin to move.

[0020] The foldable soft-top sunroof and automobile of the present invention have at least the following advantages over the prior art:

[0021] Taking the calibration direction as the direction from front to back of the vehicle as an example, the beginning of the calibration direction is the front of the vehicle, and the end of the calibration direction is the rear of the vehicle. The three slider groups at the front are the first slider group, the second slider group, and the third slider group in sequence.

[0022] When the curtain is unfolded, the ends of the first elastic structures of each slider group are inserted into the corresponding locking grooves on the guide rails, that is, they are all locked. When the curtain needs to be folded to allow ventilation and light, a driving force is applied to the first slider of the first slider group to move toward the rear of the vehicle. When the first slider of the first slider group moves backward, the front one of the two pushing parts of the first pushing structure contacts and pushes the first elastic structure. As the first slider continues to move backward, the force applied by the first slider to the first elastic structure through the first pushing structure continues to increase. When the force applied by the pushing part to the first elastic structure reaches a critical value, the first elastic structure of the first slider group can be deformed to bulge toward the rear of the vehicle. The first elastic structure can easily slide out of the locking groove under the continued push of the first pushing structure of the first slider group from front to back, so that the second slider of the first slider group is unlocked, and then the entire first slider group can continue to move backward under the action of the driving force, so as to fold the curtain between the first slider group and the second slider group, realizing the first level folding of the curtain. At this time, the curtain behind the second slider group is still in When the first slider group is unlocked, the first slider of the first slider group pushes the first slider of the second slider group to move backward, thereby unlocking the second slider group. The unlocking process of the second slider group is the same as that of the first slider group, specifically: the first slider of the second slider group pushes the first elastic structure in the second slider through the first pushing structure. When the thrust reaches a critical value, the first elastic structure of the second slider group can be deformed to bulge toward the rear of the vehicle, thereby unlocking the second slider group. The unlocked second slider group can continue to move backward under the action of the driving force to fold the window cloth between the second slider group and the third slider group to achieve the second level of folding of the window cloth. At this time, the window cloth after the third slider group is still in the unfolded state; and so on, so that the window cloth is folded step by step according to a predetermined trajectory to avoid wrinkles; when the folding is completed, the ends of the first elastic structures of each slider group are inserted into the corresponding locking grooves, that is, they are all locked.

[0023] When the window curtain needs to be unfolded to block wind and light, a driving force is applied to the first slider of the first slider group to move toward the front of the vehicle. When the first slider of the first slider group moves forward, the rear one of the two pushing parts of the first pushing structure will contact and push the first elastic structure. As the first slider continues to move forward, the force applied by the first slider to the first elastic structure through the first pushing structure continues to increase. When the force applied by the pushing part of the first pushing structure to the first elastic structure reaches a critical value, the first elastic structure of the first slider group can be deformed to bulge toward the front of the vehicle. The first elastic structure can slide out of the locking groove under the continued forward pushing of the first pushing structure of the first slider group to unlock the first slider group. The unlocked first slider group can continue to move forward under the action of the driving force. The first slider group moves forward to unfold the window cloth between the first slider group and the second slider group, thereby realizing the first level of unfolding of the window cloth. At this time, the window cloth behind the second slider group is still in a folded state. As the first slider group continues to move forward, the first slider of the first slider group pushes the first slider of the second slider group forward, and the first slider of the second slider group pushes the first elastic structure in the second slider through the first pushing structure, so that the first elastic structure of the second slider group is deformed from convex toward the rear of the vehicle to convex toward the front of the vehicle, thereby unlocking the second slider group to unfold the window cloth between the second slider group and the third slider group, thereby realizing the second level of unfolding of the window cloth. At this time, the window cloth behind the third slider group is still in a folded state. And so on, the window cloth is unfolded step by step according to the predetermined trajectory to avoid wrinkles. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

They do not indicate or imply that the devices or components referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0042] like Figures 1-8 As shown, a foldable soft top sunroof according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a guide rail 1, a slider group 2 and a curtain 3. The guide rail 1 is arranged at the roof sunroof hole 101 and extends along the calibration direction. A plurality of slider groups 2 are sequentially arranged in the extension direction of the guide rail 1 and are respectively slidably connected to the guide rail 1. The slider group 2 includes a first slider 21, a second slider 22, a first pushing structure 23 and a first elastic structure 24. The curtain 3 is used to cover the roof sunroof hole 101 and is connected to the first slider 21. The second slider 22 is located below the first slider 21. The second slider 22 is provided with an accommodating cavity 221. The first elastic structure 24 is located in the accommodating cavity 221 and is configured to bend and deform toward the leading end or the trailing end of the calibration direction. At least one end of the first elastic structure 24 is configured to extend out of the accommodating cavity 221. The first pushing structure 23 is connected to the first slider 21 and has two pushing portions 231 spaced apart along the calibration direction. The two pushing portions 231 of the first pushing structure 23 extend into the accommodating cavity 221 and are respectively located on either side of the first elastic structure 24.

[0043] The side wall of the guide rail 1 is provided with a plurality of locking grooves 13. When the curtain 3 is unfolded or folded, the end of the first elastic structure 24 of each slider group 2 extending out of the accommodating cavity 221 is respectively inserted into a different locking groove 13.

[0044] The first slider 21 of the slider group 2 is configured to move from the head end to the tail end of the calibration direction, so that a pushing portion 231 of the first pushing structure 23 of the slider group 2, which is close to the head end of the calibration direction, pushes the first elastic structure 24, causing the first elastic structure 24 to deform toward the tail end of the calibration direction and the end of the first elastic structure 24 to disengage from the locking groove 13, thereby unlocking the second slider 22;

[0045] The first slider 21 of the slider group 2 is also configured to move from the tail end to the head end of the calibration direction, so that a pushing portion 231 of the first pushing structure 23 of the slider group 2 close to the tail end of the calibration direction pushes the first elastic structure 24, causing the first elastic structure 24 to bulge toward the head end of the calibration direction and the end of the first elastic structure 24 to disengage from the locking groove 13, so that the second slider 22 is unlocked.

[0046] Specifically, the calibration direction can be the front-to-back direction of the vehicle or the left-to-right direction of the vehicle. When the guide rail 1 extends in the front-to-back direction, the curtain 3 can be moved in the front-to-back direction of the vehicle under the drive of the slider group 2 to achieve unfolding and folding. When the guide rail 1 extends in the left-to-right direction, the curtain 3 can be moved in the left-to-right direction of the vehicle under the drive of the slider group 2 to achieve unfolding and folding. For ease of understanding, the following description will take the calibration direction as the direction from front to back of the vehicle as an example. The head end of the calibration direction refers to the front of the vehicle, and the tail end of the calibration direction refers to the rear of the vehicle. The guide rail 1 extends in the front-to-back direction of the vehicle, that is, the direction indicated by the X-axis. A roof skylight hole 101 is provided on the roof panel 10, which runs through the roof skylight hole 101 in the Z direction. Two guide rails 1 are installed on the roof panel 10 and are located on the left and right sides of the roof skylight hole 101. Multiple slider groups 2 are respectively provided on the guide rails 1 on the left and right sides. Multiple slider groups 2 on the same guide rail 1 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the guide rail 1, and the slider groups 2 on the guide rails 1 on both sides are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. The cross-section of the guide rail 1 is generally in the shape of a U-shaped groove with an opening facing upward.

[0047] The slider group 2 is slidably connected to the guide rail 1, which can be understood as follows: the first slider 21 and the second slider 22 of each slider group 2 are both slidably connected to the same guide rail 1, and the first slider 21 and the second slider 22 are arranged one above the other and are both slidably connected to the side wall of the guide rail 1. At least one side wall of the guide rail 1 is provided with a plurality of locking grooves 13 spaced apart along the direction indicated by the X-axis. The number of locking grooves 13 provided can be greater than the number of slider groups 2 provided. Specifically, when the curtain 3 is in the unfolded state, the end of the first elastic structure 24 of each slider group 2 is inserted into the corresponding locking groove 13, and when the curtain 3 is in the folded state, the end of the first elastic structure 24 of each slider group 2 is also inserted into the corresponding locking groove 13. That is, the number of locking grooves 13 provided on one side wall of the guide rail 1 can be twice the number of slider groups 2.

[0048] like Figure 8As shown, the first pushing structure 23 may be an inverted U-shaped structure, wherein two parallel side walls of the U-shaped structure form two pushing portions 231 , and the bottom wall of the U-shaped structure is connected to the corresponding first sliding block 21 .

[0049] The first elastic structure 24 can be a long, strip-shaped spring or elastic sheet, as long as it can bend. The first elastic structure 24 extends generally along the Y-axis and can convexly deform toward the positive or negative X-axis. The first pushing structure 23 is vertically arranged, and the upper ends of the first pushing structures 23 are connected to the corresponding first sliders 21. The lower ends of the first pushing structures 23 are provided with two pushing portions 231 spaced apart along the direction indicated by the X-axis. The two pushing portions 231 extend into the accommodating cavity 221 of the second slider 22 and can contact the portion between the two ends of the first elastic structure 24. One or both ends of the first elastic structure 24 can extend out of the accommodating cavity 221 along the direction indicated by the Y-axis and insert into the corresponding locking groove 13.

[0050] In this embodiment, the three slider groups at the front are sequentially designated as the first slider group, the second slider group, and the third slider group. When the curtain 3 is unfolded, the ends of the first elastic structures 24 of each slider group 2 are inserted into the corresponding locking grooves 13 on the guide rail 1, i.e., they are all locked. When the curtain 3 needs to be folded for ventilation and light transmission, a driving force is applied to the first slider 21 of the first slider group to move toward the rear of the vehicle. When the first slider 21 of the first slider group moves backward, the front one of the two pushing parts 231 of the first pushing structure 23 contacts and pushes the first elastic structure 24. As the first slider 21 continues to move backward, the force exerted by the first slider 21 on the first elastic structure 24 through the first pushing structure 23 continues to increase. When the force exerted by the pushing part 231 on the first elastic structure 24 reaches a critical value, the first elastic structure 24 of the first slider group can be deformed to bulge toward the rear of the vehicle. At this time, the first elastic structure 24 can easily slide out of the locking groove 13 under the continued push of the first pushing structure 23 of the first slider group from front to back, so that the second slider 22 of the first slider group is unlocked, and then the entire first slider group can continue to move backward under the action of the driving force, so as to fold the curtain 3 between the first slider group and the second slider group, thereby realizing the first level folding of the curtain 3. The curtain 3 is still in the unfolded state after the unlocking; as the first slider group moves backward as a whole, the first slider 21 of the first slider group pushes the first slider 21 of the second slider group to move backward to unlock the second slider group. The unlocking process of the second slider group is the same as that of the first slider group. Specifically, the first slider 21 of the second slider group pushes the first elastic structure 24 in the second slider 22 through the first pushing structure 23. When the thrust reaches a critical value, the first elastic structure 24 of the second slider group can be deformed to bulge toward the rear of the vehicle to unlock the second slider group. After being unlocked, the second slider group can continue to move backward under the action of the driving force to fold the curtain 3 between the second slider group and the third slider group to achieve the second level of folding of the curtain 3. At this time, the curtain behind the third slider group is still in the unfolded state; and so on, so that the curtain 3 is folded step by step according to the predetermined trajectory to avoid wrinkles; when folding is completed, the end of the first elastic structure 24 of each slider group 2 can be inserted into the corresponding locking groove 13, that is, they are all locked.

[0051] When the curtain 3 needs to be unfolded to block the wind and light, a driving force is applied to the first slider 21 of the first slider group to move toward the front of the vehicle. When the first slider 21 of the first slider group moves forward, the rear one of the two pushing parts 231 of the first pushing structure 23 contacts and pushes the first elastic structure 24. As the first slider 21 continues to move forward, the force exerted by the first slider 21 on the first elastic structure 24 through the first pushing structure 23 continues to increase. When the force exerted by the pushing part 231 of the first pushing structure 23 on the first elastic structure 24 reaches a critical value, the first elastic structure 24 of the first slider group can be deformed to bulge toward the front of the vehicle. The first elastic structure 24 can slide out of the locking groove 13 under the continued pushing of the first pushing structure 23 of the first slider group from back to front to achieve the unlocking of the first slider group. The unlocked first slider group can be The first slider 21 of the first slider group will pull the first slider 21 of the second slider group forward through the curtain 3, and the first slider 21 of the second slider group will push the first elastic structure 24 in the second slider 22 through the first pushing structure 23, so that the first elastic structure 24 of the second slider group is deformed from convex toward the rear of the vehicle to convex toward the front of the vehicle, thereby unlocking the second slider group to unfold the curtain 3 between the second slider group and the third slider group, thereby realizing the second level of unfolding of the curtain 3, and the curtain behind the third slider group is still in a folded state; and so on, so that the curtain 3 is unfolded step by step according to the predetermined trajectory to avoid wrinkles.

[0052] It should be noted that in the process of folding the curtain 3 from front to back, once the second slider 22 of a slider group 2 is unlocked from the corresponding locking groove 13 of the guide rail 1, the deformation state of the first elastic structure 24 in the slider group 2 (convex toward the rear of the vehicle) enables it to move along the folding direction and slide through the locking groove 13 without being locked with the locking groove 13. Therefore, in the subsequent sliding process, the slider group 2 will slide through the rear locking grooves 13 in turn without being locked, and at the end of the folding process, it will be inserted into the corresponding locking groove 13 at the tail end of the guide rail 1. Moreover, since the deformation state of the first elastic structure 24 at this time makes it impossible for it to move out of the locking groove 13 in the direction opposite to the folding direction (from back to front), the slider group 2 will be locked with the locking groove 13 at the end of the folding process.

[0053] like Figure 3-Figure 4As shown, optionally, a pushing portion 231 of the first pushing structure 23 of the slider group 2 close to the head end of the calibration direction is used to push the first elastic structure 24, so that the first elastic structure 24 is deformed from a head end protrusion toward the calibration direction to a tail end protrusion toward the calibration direction; a pushing portion 231 of the first pushing structure 23 of the slider group 2 close to the tail end of the calibration direction is used to push the first elastic structure 24, so that the first elastic structure 24 is deformed from a tail end protrusion toward the calibration direction to a head end protrusion toward the calibration direction.

[0054] In this embodiment, when the curtain 3 is in the unfolded state, the first elastic structure 24 is in a state of being convex and deformed toward the front of the vehicle. When the curtain 3 needs to be folded backward, the first pushing structure 23 of the slider group 2 will push the first elastic structure 24 to deform it from being convex toward the front of the vehicle to being convex toward the rear. In this way, compared with the first pushing structure 23 pushing the linear first elastic structure 24 to be convex and deformed toward the rear of the vehicle, the thrust required by the method of this embodiment is larger. In other words, the slider group 2 requires a larger thrust to release the lock with the guide rail 1. The locking effect of each slider group 2 and the locking groove 13 is better, which can more effectively avoid the technical problem that once the curtain 3 begins to fold, the slider group 2 corresponding to the unfolded part of the curtain 3 moves along the front and rear direction of the guide rail, causing wrinkles in the curtain.

[0055] Similarly, when the curtain 3 is in a folded state, the first elastic structure 24 is in a state of being deformed and convex toward the rear of the vehicle. When the curtain 3 needs to be unfolded forward, compared with the first pushing structure 23 of the slider group 2 pushing the linear first elastic structure 24 to convex toward the front of the vehicle, the first pushing structure 23 of the slider group 2 will push the first elastic structure 24 deformed from convex toward the rear of the vehicle to convex toward the front of the vehicle. The thrust required is greater. In other words, the locking effect of each slider group 2 and the locking groove 13 is better, which can effectively avoid the technical problem that once the curtain 3 starts to unfold, each slider group 2 moves along the guide rail in the front and rear direction, causing wrinkles in the curtain 3.

[0056] like Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown, optionally, the first elastic structure 24 includes a deformation section 241, a limiting section 242 and an insertion section 243, and the two ends of the deformation section 241 are respectively connected to the corresponding insertion section 243 through the corresponding limiting section 242, and the second slider 22 is respectively provided with sliding holes 222 passing through the corresponding end faces at both ends perpendicular to the calibration direction, and the sliding holes 222 are connected to the accommodating cavity 221, and the deformation section 241 is used to contact the pushing portion 231, and the limiting section 242 can be slidably arranged in the sliding hole 222 along the sliding hole 222, and the two insertion sections 243 are respectively used to insert into the locking grooves 13 on the opposite side walls of the guide rail 1.

[0057] Specifically, locking grooves 13 are provided on the left and right side walls of the guide rail 1, with the locking grooves 13 corresponding to each other and their notches facing each other. The two insertion sections 243 of the first elastic structure 24 are respectively configured to be inserted into the two opposing locking grooves 13. The cross-section of the accommodating cavity 221 is elliptical, and the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 221 can roughly match the shape of the deformable section 241 after bending and deformation, ensuring that the deformable section 241 has sufficient deformation space. The left and right sides of the accommodating cavity 221 are respectively connected to corresponding sliding holes 222, which can be elongated channels extending along the Y direction.

[0058] The shape of the sliding hole 222 matches that of the limiting section 242, that is, the shape of the hole wall of the limiting section 242 and the sliding hole 222 is basically the same, such as the limiting section 242 is a thicker linear structure, or an "8"-shaped structure, so as to utilize the contact and limitation between the limiting section 242 and the hole wall of the sliding hole 222 to prevent the plug-in section 243 from shaking along the direction indicated by the X-axis, so that when the pushing portion 231 of the first pushing structure 23 pushes the deformation section 241 to deform, the plug-in section 243 will only move along the direction indicated by the Y-axis to enter and exit the locking groove 13, thereby improving the movement stability of the slider group 2.

[0059] Furthermore, by inserting the two ends of the first elastic structure 24 into the locking grooves 13 on both sides, the locking stability of the second slider 22 , ie, the slider assembly 2 , can be ensured.

[0060] In some other embodiments, one end of the first elastic structure 24 may be fixedly connected to the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 221 , and the other end may extend out of the accommodating cavity 221 to be inserted into the locking groove 13 on the guide rail 1 .

[0061] like Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, optionally, each of the slider groups 2 further includes a bushing 25, and the bushing 25 is sleeved on the outside of the two plug-in sections 243 of the first elastic structure 24. Specifically, the bushing 25 can be made of a wear-resistant and noise-reducing material, such as polyoxymethylene (POM), polyamide (PA), or polytetrafluoroethylene (TPFE). By arranging the bushing 25 on the plug-in section 243 of the first elastic structure 24, friction damage and noise are avoided when the plug-in section 243 moves back and forth in and out of the locking groove 13, thereby improving the service life of the first elastic structure 24 or the slider group 2 and reducing the noise during the unfolding or folding process of the curtain 3.

[0062] like Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, optionally, each of the slider groups 2 further includes a second elastic structure 26 , and two ends of the second elastic structure 26 are respectively connected to the corresponding first slider 21 and the second slider 22 .

[0063] In this embodiment, the second elastic structure 26 can be a long elastic sheet or a spring. The first slider 21 is connected to the second slider 22 through the second elastic structure 26. When the first slider 21 slides back and forth and pushes the first elastic structure 24 in the second slider 22 through the first pushing structure 23, the second elastic structure 26 can work together with the first elastic structure 24 to bear the driving force of the first slider 21 on the second slider 22 during the sliding process of the first slider 21 back and forth, thereby avoiding damage to the first elastic structure 24 due to excessive deformation and severe wear.

[0064] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, optionally, along the calibration direction, both ends of the first slider 21 and the second slider 22 are provided with the second elastic structure 26, and the second elastic structures 26 at both ends are symmetrically arranged.

[0065] Specifically, four second elastic structures 26 can be provided, two of which are located on the front sides of the first slider 21 and the second slider 22, and the other two are located on the rear sides of the first slider 21 and the second slider 22. By respectively providing multiple second elastic structures 26 on the front and rear sides of the first slider 21 and the second slider 22, and the second elastic structures 26 on the front and rear sides are symmetrically provided, the force uniformity between the first slider 21 and the second slider 22 can be ensured. After the first slider 21 slides back and forth to drive the second slider 22 to unlock, the misalignment between the first slider 21 and the second slider 22 can be compensated under the action of the elastic force.

[0066] like Figure 3As shown, optionally, the locking groove 13 has a tapered structure from the groove mouth toward the groove bottom, and the groove wall of the locking groove 13 close to the head end of the calibration direction and the groove wall close to the tail end of the calibration direction are both inclined walls 131, and the first elastic structure 24 is used to slide out of the locking groove 13 under the guidance of the inclined wall 131.

[0067] Specifically, the cross-section of the locking groove 13 can be a horizontally arranged cone or trapezoid, and the front and rear side walls of the locking groove 13 are inclined walls 131, so that when the curtain 3 is unfolded or folded, after the horizontal thrust exerted on the first elastic structure 24 of the slider group 2 reaches a critical value, the end of the first elastic structure 24 can smoothly slide out of the locking groove 13 under the guidance of the inclined wall 131, thereby unlocking the slider group 2.

[0068] Let the contact point between the pushing portion 231 of the first pushing structure 23 and the first elastic structure 24 be point a, the contact point between the end of the first elastic structure 24 and the locking groove 13 be point b, the angle between the line connecting points a and b and the Y axis be α, and the angle between the side wall of the locking groove 13 in the front-to-back direction and the X axis be β:

[0069] The force F exerted by the first elastic structure 24 at point a 第一弹性结构 =2F ab sinα; the component force of the first elastic structure 24 in the front and rear directions at point b is F 前后 =F ab sinα=0.5F 第一弹性结构 , the component force of the first elastic structure 24 in the left and right directions at point b is F 左右 =F ab cosα;

[0070] Assuming there are four second elastic structures 26, since the two ends of the second elastic structure 26 are connected to the first slider 21 and the second slider 22 respectively, and the first slider 21 only exerts a driving force on the second slider 22 in the front-to-back direction, that is, the second elastic structure 26 is only subjected to a pulling force in the front-to-back direction, the force F′ exerted by the second elastic structure 26 on the point b in the left-right direction is 左右 = 0, the force F′ exerted by the second elastic structure 26 on point b in the front-back direction 前后 =0.5F 4个第二弹性结构 , where F 4个第二弹性结构 is the sum of the elastic forces of the four second elastic structures 26;

[0071] According to the above, we can get: the total force F in the front and rear directions on point b 前后合力 =F 前后 +F′ 前后 =0.5F 第一弹性结构 +0.5F 4个第二弹性结构 The resultant force F in the left and right directions acting on point b 左右合力 =F左右 +F′ 左右 =F ab cosα=0.5F 第一弹性结构 cotα, when F 左右合力 tanβ <F 前后合力 0.5F 第一弹性结构 cotαtanβ<0.5F 第一弹性结构 +0.5F 4个第二弹性结构 When, (further let F 4个第二弹性结构 / F 第一弹性结构 =K) that is, when cotαtanβ<1+K, the slider starts to unlock. According to experience, the value range of K is usually between 0 and 100, and the value range of β is usually between 5° and 60°. That is, for any given K and β, there will always be α0 greater than 0°. 0时 , F 前后合力 When the maximum value is reached, which is the critical value for unlocking the slider group 2, the slider group 2 begins to unlock. When α>α0, the slider group 2 is in a locked state, and as α decreases, F 前后合力 Gradually increases; when α<α0, the slider group 2 is in the unlocked state, and as α decreases, F 前后合力 It should be noted that by adjusting the inclination angles of the front and rear side walls of the locking groove 13 and the stiffness coefficients of the first elastic structure 24 and the second elastic structure 26 , the critical value for unlocking the slider assembly 2 relative to the guide rail 1 can be increased.

[0072] like Figure 9-10 As shown, optionally, the guide rail 1 includes a guide rail body 11 and a partition 12, the guide rail body 11 is formed with a guide rail groove 111 with the notch facing upward, the partition 12 is placed in the guide rail groove 111 to divide the guide rail groove 111 into a first guide rail groove 112 and a second guide rail groove 113 arranged in sequence along the up and down directions, the partition 12 is provided with a through hole to make the first guide rail groove 112 and the second guide rail groove 113 communicate with each other, the first slider 21 is slidably set in the first guide rail groove 112, the second slider 22 is slidably set in the second guide rail groove 113, and the side wall of the second guide rail groove 113 is provided with the locking groove 13.

[0073] Specifically, the guide rail body 11 has a U-shaped guide rail groove 111 with the notch facing upward, and the partition 12 is horizontally arranged in the guide rail groove 111. The partition 12 and the guide rail body 11 have the same extension direction, both extending in the front-to-back direction. The upper and lower sides of the partition 12 respectively form a first guide rail groove 112 and a second guide rail groove 113. The first slider 21 of all slider groups 2 is located in the first guide rail groove 112 and can slide back and forth along the first guide rail groove 112. The second slider 22 of the slider group 2 is located in the second guide rail groove 113 and can slide back and forth along the second guide rail groove 113, thereby realizing the sliding connection between the first slider 21, the second slider 22 and the guide rail 1. By setting a perforation on the partition 12, the first pushing structure 23 can pass through the perforation downward and extend into the accommodating cavity 221 of the second slider 22.

[0074] like Figure 1 、 Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, optionally, the foldable soft top skylight also includes a slide rod 4, a drive mechanism 6 and a pressure plate 7, the slide rod 4 is located on the side of the head end of all the slider groups 2 facing the calibration direction, the drive mechanism 6 is driven and connected to the slide rod 4, the pressure plate 7 is located at the head end edge of the window cloth 3 along the calibration direction and is connected to the window cloth 3, and the slide rod 4 is connected to the pressure plate 7.

[0075] Specifically, the drive mechanism 6 may include a motor 61 and a cable 62. The slide bar 4 may be a multi-stage rod. The motor 61 is connected to the slide bar 4 via the cable 62 to drive the slide bar 4 to move forward and backward. The pressure plate 7 is provided at the front edge of the window cloth 3. When the window cloth 3 is unfolded, the front end of the window cloth 3 can be pressed against the roof panel 10.

[0076] In this embodiment, when the window cloth 3 needs to be folded, the driving mechanism 6 drives the slide bar 4 to move backward, the pressure plate 7 to move backward, and the part of the window cloth 3 between the pressure plate 7 and the frontmost slider group 2 is folded, thereby realizing the first level folding of the window cloth 3. Then, the slide bar 4 moves backward to push each slider group 2 to unlock in turn for subsequent folding.

[0077] When the curtain 3 needs to be unfolded, the driving mechanism 6 drives the slide bar forward, and the slide bar 4 drives the pressure plate 7 and the curtain 3 connected to the pressure plate 7 to move forward, so as to unfold the part of the curtain 3 between the pressure plate 7 and the frontmost slider group 2, thereby realizing the first level of unfolding of the curtain 3. As the slide bar 4 continues to move forward, the curtain 3 pulls the subsequent slider groups 2 in turn to unlock them until the curtain 3 is fully unfolded.

[0078] like Figure 1-Figure 2As shown, optionally, the foldable soft top skylight further includes a first elastic support member 5, a plurality of the first elastic support members 5 are correspondingly arranged between two adjacent slider groups 2, one end of the first elastic support member 5 is connected to the first slider 21 of the slider group 2 close to the head end of the calibration direction in the two adjacent slider groups 2, and the other end of the first elastic support member 5 is connected to the window cloth 3, and the first elastic support member 5 is used to deform under the sliding of the slider group 2 to tilt the window cloth 3;

[0079] And / or, the foldable soft top skylight also includes a second elastic support member, which is arranged between the pressure plate 7 and the slider group 2 located at the head end of the calibration direction, one end of the second elastic support member is connected to the pressure plate, and the other end of the second elastic support member is connected to the window cloth 3, and the second elastic support member is used to deform under the sliding of the pressure plate 7 to lift the window cloth 3.

[0080] In this embodiment, the first elastic support member 5 may include an elongated spring piece 51 and a tilting block 52, one end of the spring piece 51 is connected to the first slider 21 of the slider group 2, and the other end is connected to the tilting block 52, and the tilting block 52 is connected to the window cloth 3. When the window cloth 3 is unfolded, the spring piece 51 is in a compressed state, and it is extended roughly along the direction indicated by the X-axis. When the slider group 2 moves backward to fold the window cloth 3, the spring piece 51 recovers its deformation to the initial free state (roughly Z-shaped bending) to tilt the tilting block 52, so that the window cloth 3 between the two slider groups 2 is folded, ensuring that the window cloth 3 will not hang between the two adjacent slider groups 2 and will not affect the sliding of the slider group 2; when the slider group 2 moves forward to unfold the window cloth 3, the spring piece 51 is in a compressed state, so that the tilting block 52 falls on the guide rail 1, so that the window cloth 3 between the two slider groups 2 is unfolded.

[0081] The difference between the second elastic support member and the first elastic support member 5 is that the second elastic support member is arranged between the pressure plate 7 and the slider group 2 at the head end of the calibration direction, rather than between any two adjacent slider groups 2. The structural principle of the second elastic support member is similar to that of the first elastic support member 5, and will not be repeated.

[0082] like Figure 9 、 Figure 10 and Figure 12As shown, the foldable soft top sunroof optionally further includes a first support rod 81 and a second support rod 82. The first support rod 81 is connected between the first sliders 21 of the slider group 2 on two oppositely disposed guide rails 1, and the second support rod 82 is connected between the corresponding tilting blocks 52 above the two oppositely disposed guide rails 1. Both the first support rod 81 and the second support rod 82 are connected to the window cloth 3. The window cloth 3 may be a multi-layer structure. The first support rod 81 and the second support rod 82 are disposed between two adjacent layers of the window cloth 3. This not only conceals the first support rod 81 and the second support rod 82, but also improves the connection stability between the first support rod 81 and the second support rod 82 and the window cloth 3. The first support rod 81 and the second support rod 82 may extend in the left-right direction of the vehicle, i.e., the direction indicated by the Y-axis, acting like a skeleton to support the window cloth 3.

[0083] like Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, optionally, the first slider 21 of each slider group 2 protrudes toward the rear end of the calibration direction to form a second pushing structure 27. The first slider 21 of the slider group 2 is used to push the adjacent first slider 21 of the slider group 2 near the rear end of the calibration direction via the second pushing structure 27. By forming the second pushing structure 27 with a rearward protrusion at the rear end of the first slider 21, the arrangement of the second pushing structure 27 can be simplified, making it easier for the first slider 21 of the slider group 2 to push the adjacent first slider 21 of the rear slider group 2 to move backward via the second pushing structure 27.

[0084] And / or, the sliding rod 4 protrudes toward the tail end of the calibration direction to form a third pushing structure 41, and the sliding rod 4 is used to push the first slider 21 of the slider group 2 located at the head end of the calibration direction through the third pushing structure 41. The structure and function of the third pushing structure 41 are similar to those of the second pushing structure 27, and will not be repeated here.

[0085] like Figure 2 As shown, optionally, at least part of the first slider 21 of the slider group 2 is provided with a reinforcement structure 28 inside, thereby increasing the strength of the first slider 21 and extending the service life of the slider group 2.

[0086] like Figure 11-12 As shown, another embodiment of the present invention provides an automobile, comprising a roof panel 10 and the aforementioned foldable soft top sunroof. The roof panel 10 is provided with a sunroof aperture 101, and the foldable soft top sunroof is disposed in the sunroof aperture 101. The advantages of the aforementioned vehicle over the prior art are the same as those of the aforementioned door assembly, and are not further described.

[0087] Although the present invention is disclosed as above, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art may make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and these changes and modifications will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
