[0044] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this specification, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this specification will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this specification, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this specification, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of this specification.

[0045] An embodiment of the first aspect of the present application provides a cover device 100, which can be installed on the sunroof of a vehicle and can be used as a part of the sunroof or as a peripheral accessory of the sunroof. The cover device 100 can provide a mounting point for a roof luggage rack.

[0046] Figure 1 It is a top view of the cover device 100 of the embodiment of the present application installed on the edge 200 of the sunroof, that is, a schematic diagram observed from the perspective of the outside of the vehicle; Figure 2 This is a bottom view of the cover device 100 of the embodiment of the present application installed on the edge 200 of the sunroof, that is, a schematic diagram observed from the perspective of the inside of the vehicle; Figure 3 It is a partial schematic diagram of the rotating shaft portion of the cover device 100 in the embodiment of the present application; Figure 4 for Figure 1 Sectional view along line AA; Figure 5 for Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the rotating shaft observed along direction B.

[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cover device 100 includes a decorative panel 110, a flip cover 120 and an elastic member 130; the decorative panel 110 has an opening 111, and the flip cover 120 has a rotating shaft 121 rotatably connected to the decorative panel 110 so as to swing between an open position and a closed position through the rotating shaft 121. The flip cover 120 closes the opening 111 of the decorative panel 110 when in the closed position, and keeps the opening 111 of the decorative panel 110 in an open position when in the open position.

[0048] like Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the rotating shaft 121 has a first side surface 1211, a corner 1212, and a second side surface 1213 connected in sequence. The first side surface 1211 and the second side surface 1213 are transitioned through the corner 1212. The distance L1 between the corner 1212 and the center line of the rotating shaft 121 is greater than the distance L2 between the first side surface 1211 and the center line, and is greater than the distance L3 between the second side surface 1213 and the center line. The elastic member 130 is provided on the decorative plate 110 and abuts against the side surface of the rotating shaft 121. The elastic member 130 positions the flip cover 120 in the closed position or the open position by abutting against the first side surface 1211 or the second side surface 1213. For example, the first side surface 1211 is the side surface that the rotating shaft 121 abuts against the elastic member 130 when the flip cover 120 is in the closed position, and the second side surface 1213 is the side surface that the rotating shaft 121 abuts against the elastic member 130 when the flip cover 120 is in the open position.

[0049] In one example, the elastic member 130 may abut against the first side surface 1211 or the second side surface 1213 in a line contact manner.

[0050] In another example, the elastic member 130 may abut against the first side surface 1211 or the second side surface 1213 in a surface contact manner, and such surface contact manner may provide a more stable abutment.

[0051] When there is no need to install the roof rack, the flip cover 120 remains in the closed position and closes the opening 111. At this time, the elastic member 130 and the first side surface 1211 of the rotating shaft 121 are firmly abutted against each other in a surface contact manner. The elastic member 130 presses the first side surface 1211 of the rotating shaft 121 to stably position the flip cover 120 in the closed position.

[0052] When it is necessary to install the roof luggage rack, the flip cover 120 can be manually driven to rotate from the closed position to the open position. As the flip cover 120 rotates, the first side 1211 of the flip cover 120 disengages from the abutment with the elastic member 130, and the corner 1212 of the flip cover 120 then abuts against the elastic member 130. Since the distance between the corner 1212 and the center line of the rotating shaft 121 is greater than the distance between the second side 1213 and the center line, the corner 1212, as a part with a longer lever arm, will generate a greater torque, prompting the rotating shaft 121 to continue to rotate until the second side 1213 abuts against the elastic member 130. At this time, the elastic member 130 and the second side 1213 of the rotating shaft 121 are firmly abutted in a surface contact manner, and the elastic member 130 presses the second side 1213 of the rotating shaft 121 to stably position the flip cover 120 in the open position.

[0053] After the roof luggage rack is removed, the flip cover 120 can be manually driven to rotate from the open position to the closed position. As the flip cover 120 rotates, the second side surface 1213 of the flip cover 120 disengages from the abutment with the elastic member 130, and the corner 1212 of the flip cover 120 then abuts against the elastic member 130. Since the distance between the corner 1212 and the center line of the rotating shaft 121 is greater than the distance between the first side surface 1211 and the center line, the corner 1212, as a portion with a longer lever arm, will generate a greater torque, prompting the rotating shaft 121 to continue to rotate until the first side surface 1211 abuts against the elastic member 130. At this time, the elastic member 130 and the first side surface 1211 of the rotating shaft 121 are firmly abutted in a surface contact manner, and the elastic member 130 presses the first side surface 1211 of the rotating shaft 121 to stably position the flip cover 120 in the closed position.

[0054] In the embodiment of the present application, the structure of the rotating shaft 121 is designed so that the distance between the corner 1212 and the center line of the rotating shaft 121 is greater than the distance between either the first side 1211 or the second side 1213 and the center line. Even without being subjected to an external driving force, the rotating shaft 121 will naturally rotate in the direction in which the first side 1211 or the second side 1213 abuts against the elastic member 130, that is, the flip cover 120 always tends to be fully closed or fully opened, thereby ensuring that the flip cover 120 can be maintained in the closed position or the open position.

[0055] In addition, through the above-mentioned structural design of the rotating shaft 121, in the process of manually driving the flip cover 120 to open or close, the deformation of the elastic member 130 undergoes a change that first increases and then decreases, and the pressure of the elastic member 130 on the rotating shaft 121 of the flip cover 120 also changes from first increasing to then decreasing. The change pattern is approximately a sine curve, and the operation comfort is good.

[0056] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the flip cover 120 includes a flip cover body 122 and two rotating shafts 121, and the two rotating shafts 121 are respectively arranged at opposite ends of the flip cover body 122; the cover device 100 includes two elastic members 130, and the two elastic members 130 respectively abut against the sides of the two rotating shafts 121. This design ensures the stability of the flip cover 120 in the open and closed positions. The two elastic members 130 act on the two rotating shafts 121 respectively, which can distribute the pressure more evenly, further improve the stability of the flip cover 120 and reduce shaking.

[0057] exist Figure 2In the example, the two rotating shafts 121 are located on the outside of the flip cover body 122 in the width direction. Therefore, when the flip cover 120 is installed on the decorative plate 110, the two rotating shafts 121 do not occupy the two end areas of the decorative plate 110 located at both ends of the opening 111. These two end areas can be used to install two elastic members 130. This structural design makes the structural arrangement compact, which helps to reduce the overall length and width of the decorative plate 110, thereby helping to reduce the overall size of the cover device 100.

[0058] exist Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the example, the flip cover body 122 is a plate-like structure, which is used to open or close the opening 111 of the decorative panel 110. The shape of the flip cover body 122 matches the size and shape of the opening 111 of the decorative panel 110. Therefore, when the flip cover body 122 closes the opening 111, the appearance of the flip cover body 122 and the decorative panel 110 presents a seamless and harmonious overall sense, which enhances the aesthetics of the product and improves the user's visual and tactile experience.

[0059] exist Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the example of FIG. 1 , the flip cover 120 further includes two connecting rods 123, and the flip cover body 122 is respectively connected to the two rotating shafts 121 through the two connecting rods 123. The connecting rod 123 is generally an L-shaped structure, and one end of the connecting rod 123 is connected to the back of the flip cover body 122, and the other end of the connecting rod 123 is connected to the rotating shaft 121. The back of the flip cover body 122 should be understood as the side of the flip cover body 122 facing the inside of the vehicle when the cover device 100 is installed on the roof.

[0060] Exemplarily, the flip cover 120 is an integral structure formed by injection molding, and the material of the flip cover 120 may be plastic, such as but not limited to a composite material of polypropylene, polycarbonate and ABS plastic, polyoxymethylene, ABS plastic or polybutylene terephthalate.

[0061] In some embodiments, the elastic member 130 is deformable in a direction perpendicular to the contact portion between the elastic member 130 and the first side 1211 or the second side 1213 and perpendicular to the center line of the rotating shaft 121. For the convenience of description, this direction is referred to as the first direction, and the center line of the rotating shaft 121 is perpendicular to the first direction. When the contact portion is a contact surface, the first direction is perpendicular to the contact surface, which means that the elastic member 130 can apply pressure perpendicular to the center line of the rotating shaft 121 and perpendicular to the contact surface to the rotating shaft 121. This design can not only ensure that the elastic member 130 is tightly fitted to the first side 1211 or the second side 1213 of the rotating shaft 121, but also further enhance the stability of the flip cover 120 in the open position and the closed position, reduce the shaking of the flip cover 120 during use, and provide a more reliable user experience.

[0062] In a feasible technical solution, Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the elastic member 130 includes a clamping joint 131 and a bendable spring sheet 132. The clamping joint 131 is clamped and fixed with the decorative plate 110. The spring sheet 132 is roughly L-shaped. The spring sheet 132 has a fixed end 1321 and a free end 1322. The fixed end 1321 of the spring sheet 132 is fixedly connected with the clamping joint 131. The free end 1322 of the spring sheet 132 can abut against the first side surface 1211 or the second side surface 1213 of the rotating shaft 121 in a surface contact manner. The free end 1322 of the spring sheet 132 and the clamping joint 131 are opposite to each other and spaced apart, so as to allow the spring sheet 132 to bend and deform toward the clamping joint 131 in the first direction. This solution provides pressure to the side of the rotating shaft 121 through the elastic deformation ability of the spring sheet 132, thereby enhancing the stability of the flip cover 120 in the open position and the closed position.

[0063] In other words, Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the spring piece 132 extends from the end of the card joint 131 away from the trim 110 in a direction substantially parallel to the trim 110 toward the rotating shaft 121 to a bending portion 1323, and extends from the bending portion 1323 in a direction close to and substantially perpendicular to the trim 110 to a free end 1324, and abuts against the first side surface 1211 or the second side surface 1213 of the rotating shaft 121 through the free end 1324, and the free end can swing along the first direction.

[0064] In other embodiments, the elastic member 130 may also be configured as other deformable structures. For example, the elastic member 130 may be an elastic pad made of an elastic material (such as a rubber material), or may be a retractable spring.

[0065] exist Figure 5 In the example, the free end 1322 of the spring sheet 132 abuts against the first side surface 1211 or the second side surface 1213 of the rotating shaft 121 in a surface contact manner, and the width of the spring sheet 132 is not less than half the length of either the first side surface 1211 or the second side surface 1213 of the rotating shaft 121, so as to provide a larger contact area. Figure 2 As shown, the width W1 of the elastic is not less than 1.5 mm.

[0066] exist Figure 3 In the example, the snap joint 131 of the elastic member 130 has a buckle 1311, and the back of the decorative panel 110 has a socket 112 that cooperates with the snap joint 131. The socket 112 has a groove 1121 for the snap joint 131 to be embedded and a groove 1122 for the buckle to be embedded, so as to realize the snap connection and fixation between the elastic member 130 and the decorative panel 110, and the connection is firm and reliable, and the disassembly and assembly are convenient.

[0067] Exemplarily, the elastic member 130 is an integral structure formed by injection molding, and the material of the elastic member 130 may be plastic, such as but not limited to a composite material of polypropylene, polycarbonate and ABS plastic, polyoxymethylene, ABS plastic or polybutylene terephthalate.

[0068] In some embodiments, the contact surface between the elastic member 130 and the first side surface 1211 of the rotating shaft 121, and the contact surface between the elastic member 130 and the second side surface 1213 of the rotating shaft 121 are both planes. In other words, the first side surface 1211 and the second side surface 1213 are both planes, and the surface of the elastic member 130 for contacting the first side surface 1211 and the second side surface 1213 is also a plane. This design ensures that the contact between the elastic member 130 and the side surface of the rotating shaft 121 is more uniform and stable, thereby improving the stability of the flip cover 120 in the open and closed positions and reducing the possibility of shaking. The flat contact surface also helps to disperse pressure, avoid local stress concentration, and extend the service life of the components.

[0069] In some embodiments, Figure 5 As shown, when the elastic member 130 abuts against the first side surface 1211 or the second side surface 1213, the interference amount L4 between the elastic member 130 and the first side surface 1211 or the second side surface 1213 is not less than 0.5 mm. This design ensures that the elastic member 130 can provide sufficient pressure to make the flip cover 120 more stable when in the open and closed positions, and effectively prevent shaking and loosening.

[0070] The interference amount should be understood as the deformation amount of the elastic member 130 caused by the compression of the rotating shaft 121. Figure 5 In the example shown, the interference amount is the bending amplitude of the elastic sheet 132 bent toward the clamping joint 131 in the first direction due to the compression of the rotating shaft 121 .

[0071] For example, Figure 5 As shown, a distance L2 between the first side surface 1211 of the rotating shaft 121 and the center line of the rotating shaft 121 may be not less than 1 mm, and a distance L3 between the second side surface 1213 of the rotating shaft 121 and the center line of the rotating shaft 121 may be not less than 1 mm.

[0072] In some embodiments, Figure 5 As shown, the corner 1212 is rounded, and the contact between the elastic member 130 and the corner 1212 is line contact. This design enables the elastic member 130 to provide concentrated pressure through a smaller contact area (line contact) when contacting the corner 1212, which helps the flip cover 120 switch positions more smoothly during the rotation process. At the same time, the rounded design can reduce wear and extend the service life of the components.

[0073] exist Figure 5In the example, the first side surface 1211 and the second side surface 1213 are two mutually perpendicular planes, and the two planes are transitionally connected by an arc-shaped corner 1212, so that the swing angle of the flip cover 120 from the closed position to the open position is 90°.

[0074] In other examples not shown in the figure, the angle between the first side 1211 and the second side 1213 can also be an acute angle or an obtuse angle. The acute angle means that the opening range of the flip cover 120 is smaller, and the obtuse angle means that the opening range of the flip cover 120 is larger. The selection can be made according to actual needs.

[0075] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the decorative plate 110 has a limiting support rib 113 engaged with the rotating shaft 121, and the limiting support rib 113 is located on the side of the rotating shaft 121 facing away from the elastic member 130, so as to provide support for the rotating shaft 121 and limit the rotating shaft 121 from being separated from the elastic member 130 and the decorative plate 110. This design ensures the stable fixation of the rotating shaft 121, prevents it from accidentally falling off during use, and thus ensures the reliability and safety of the cover device 100.

[0076] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the decorative plate 110 also has two positioning bosses 114 for positioning the two rotating shafts 121 in a direction parallel to the center line of the rotating shaft 121. The two positioning bosses 114 are arranged between the two rotating shafts 121 along the center line of the rotating shaft 121. In other words, the two rotating shafts 121 are located outside the two positioning bosses 114. The two positioning bosses 114 are respectively provided with shaft holes, and the two rotating shafts 121 are respectively inserted into the corresponding shaft holes. This design realizes positioning the flip cover 120 in two directions parallel to the center line of the rotating shaft 121 and opposite to each other, so as to limit the shaking of the flip cover 120 in the direction parallel to the center line of the rotating shaft 121.

[0077] Specifically, in Figure 3In the example, each rotating shaft 121 includes a supporting portion 1214 that is in contact with the rotating shaft 121, and a first cylindrical portion 1215 and a second cylindrical portion 1216 located at opposite ends of the supporting portion 1214, the first side surface 1211, the corner 1212, and the second side surface 1213 are provided at the supporting portion 1214, and the diameters of the first cylindrical portion 1215 and the second cylindrical portion 1216 are smaller than the diameter of the supporting portion 1214, wherein the first cylindrical portion 1215 and the second cylindrical portion 1216 are smaller than the diameter of the supporting portion 1214.
