[0025] As shown Figures 1-6 in the figure, a vehicle-mounted sunshade includes a support base 10, a curtain 82, a curtain winding device 81, and a telescopic device 30; one end of the curtain 82 is connected to the curtain winding device 81, and the other end of the curtain 82 is provided with an outer cover device 20; the curtain winding device 81 is arranged on the support base 10 and is used for winding the curtain 82 thereon; both sides of the support base 10 are pivotally connected with support arms 40; the telescopic device 30 is arranged on the support base 10, and the telescopic device 30 is used for pushing the support arms 40 to rotate relative to the support base 10; the support arms 40 are pivotally connected with the outer cover device 20.

[0026] In this embodiment, the support base 10 is a storage box, and by fixing the storage box to the roof side rails or the roof platform on both sides of the vehicle, its function is to accommodate the remaining components therein, playing a role in protection and decoration.

[0027] When the curtain 82 is opened, the user gently pulls the outer cover device 20 with one hand. As the outer cover device 20 is pulled, the curtain winding device 81 unwinds the curtain 82. At the same time, the telescopic device 30 works to extend, pushing the support arms 40 to rotate outward relative to the support base 10. Since the support arms 40 are pivotally connected with the outer cover device 20, as the support arms 40 rotate outward relative to the support base 10, the outer cover device 20 can be driven to move, providing a thrust to assist in opening the curtain 82. Thus, the pulling force on the outer cover device 20 and the curtain 82 can be reduced. Therefore, a vehicle-mounted sunshade provided by the present invention, through the combination of the support base, the curtain 82, the curtain winding device 81, and the telescopic device 30, when the user gently pulls the curtain 82 and the outer cover device 20, the extension of the telescopic device 30 can be used to provide a thrust assist, which helps to quickly pull out the curtain 82, extend the curtain 82 to the fully unfolded state, reduce the operation difficulty and force, make the pulling operation of the curtain 82 more labor-saving and fast, save time, thereby reducing the difficulty of opening the curtain 82. Compared with the prior art where two people are required to open the curtain 82, the curtain 82 of the present invention can be opened by a single person, and the single-person operation efficiency is increased by 50%, improving the single-person operation efficiency and reducing the operation difficulty and force.

[0028] The telescopic device 30 includes two gas struts respectively corresponding to the two support arms 40. The housing of the gas strut is hinged on the support base 10, and the power output end of the gas strut is hinged to the corresponding support arm 40. By the extension of the gas strut, the support arm 40 is pushed to rotate outward relative to the support base 10 to achieve the effect of assisting in opening the sunshade. By the contraction of the gas strut, the support arm 40 is pushed to rotate inward relative to the support base 10, which is convenient for storing the sunshade. More preferably, the gas strut is an inert gas strut.

[0029] Of course, in addition to this, the telescopic device 30 may also be other, such as a cylinder, etc. However, using a gas strut as the telescopic device 30 is a more preferred embodiment of the present invention, which is convenient for installation and use.

[0030] The support arm 40 includes a main body 41 and an extension tube 50, the extension tube 50 is movably sleeved with the main body 41, a locking device 60 is provided on the extension tube 50, a locking matching structure is provided on the main body 41, the locking device 60 includes a lock core 63, and the locking device 60 is used to lock the extension tube 50 on the main body 41 through the lock core 63 and the locking matching structure. The extension tubes 50 of the two support arms 40 are pivotally connected to the outer cover device 20, and the outer cover device 20 is provided with an unlocking device 22 for linking the locking device 60 to disengage the lock core 63 from the locking matching structure. When stored, the lock core 63 of the locking device 60 cooperates with the locking matching structure to lock the extension tube 50 on the main body 41, so that the support arm 40 can maintain a stable state when stored. When in use, by operating the unlocking device 22, the locking device 60 can be linked to disengage the lock core 63 from the locking matching structure, and the extension tube 50 can be moved relative to the main body 41 to extend the length of the support arm 40, so that the curtain 82 can be extended accordingly.

When the movable button 23 is pressed downward, the movable button 23 compresses the unlocking elastic reset element 25, and can push the unlocking linkage 24 through the movable button 23, and drive the locking linkage 62 to move forward through the cable harness 65. During the forward movement of the locking linkage 62, the first locking elastic reset element 66 is compressed, so as to drive the lock core 63 to move through the locking linkage 62. During the movement of the lock core 63, the second locking elastic reset element is compressed and disengages from the locking cooperation structure, playing an unlocking role. After the locking linkage 62 moves forward relative to the fixed seat 64 to the front limit position, the locking linkage 62, the fixed seat 64 and the extension tube 50 move forward relative to the main pipe body 41 under the pulling action of the cable harness 65 and extend to the maximum length, and the length of the curtain 82 is extended accordingly.

[0033] A guiding groove 68 is arranged on the locking linkage 62, and the lock core 63 is movably matched with the guiding groove 68. From one end of the guiding groove 68 close to the cable harness 65 to the end far from the cable harness 65, the guiding groove 68 inclines away from the locking cooperation structure. By using the cooperation between the lock core 63 and the guiding groove 68, during the forward movement of the locking linkage 62, the lock core 63 moves forward with the locking linkage 62, and under the guiding action of the guiding groove 68, the lock core 63 can be made to disengage from the locking cooperation structure during the forward movement.

[0034] In this embodiment, the locking cooperation structure is a locking groove, and the lock core 63 includes a convex column for being embedded in the locking groove.

[0035] A first guiding structure 26 is provided on the movable button 23, and a second guiding structure 27 is provided on the unlocking linkage 24. The first guiding structure 26 is in sliding fit with the second guiding structure 27. One of the first guiding structure 26 and the second guiding structure 27 is an inclined arm, and the other is a mounting groove for the inclined arm to be inserted into. In this embodiment, the first guiding structure 26 is the inclined arm, and the second guiding structure 27 is the mounting groove. When the movable button 23 is pressed, the inclined arm can push against the groove wall of the mounting groove to push the unlocking linkage 24 to move towards the movable button 23. When the movable button 23 moves upward under the elastic force of the unlocking elastic reset element 25, the inclined arm can push against the groove wall of the mounting groove to push the unlocking linkage 24 to move away from the movable button 23.

[0036] The groove wall of the mounting groove includes an inclined surface for sliding fit with the inclined arm.

[0037] The unlocking device 22 includes two unlocking linkages 24, which respectively correspond to the locking devices 60 of the two support arms 40 one by one.
