Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of automobile accessories, in particular to the field of automobile skylight glass, and in particular to a high-strength skylight glass assembly. Background Art

[0002] To meet user needs, some car roofs on the market now utilize glass structures instead of metal structures, enhancing visibility and daylighting. There are two main types of glass structures available: the traditional sunroof assembly, which is relatively small (typically only 10% to 20% of the vehicle's total length) and typically embedded within the metal roof structure. This improves interior light levels and creates a more spacious feel, allowing for ventilation when needed by sliding back and forth. The other type of glass assembly is a fixed panoramic sunroof. Unlike traditional sunroofs, this larger glass assembly (typically 40% to 80% of the vehicle's total length) significantly enhances the sense of airiness within the vehicle while also giving the vehicle a more modern and technological look. However, due to its larger size, the glass itself is weaker than that of smaller traditional sunroof assemblies. Forcing the glass to slide open for ventilation, as is the traditional approach, can lead to damage due to its lower strength. Therefore, this fixed panoramic skylight glass assembly is currently only fixedly installed on the top of the vehicle body and is not designed to be opened for ventilation. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a skylight glass assembly, the glass body of which has high strength and can be moved and opened for ventilation.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a high-strength skylight glass assembly, including a glass body for installation on the roof of a car, a supporting frame, the glass body is fixedly mounted on the supporting frame and supported by the supporting frame, the glass body and the supporting frame together constitute a high-strength glass component; a driving device is provided to drive the high-strength glass component to move and open.

[0005] Furthermore, the driving device specifically drives the high-strength glass assembly to lift up and open.

[0006] Furthermore, the high-strength glass assembly includes a first sealing member, which is located between the glass body and the vehicle roof and is vertically clamped and deformed by the glass body and the vehicle roof to achieve sealing.

[0007] Furthermore, the high-strength glass assembly includes a second sealing member, which is installed around the periphery of the glass body and is laterally clamped and deformed by the glass body and the roof to achieve sealing.

[0008] Furthermore, there are two groups of driving devices, which are arranged front to back and respectively drive the front and rear of the high-strength glass assembly to move upward.

[0009] Furthermore, the driving device is specifically used to drive the supporting frame to lift upward, and the supporting frame drives the glass body fixedly mounted thereon to lift upward together.

[0010] Furthermore, the supporting frame specifically supports the bottom edge of the glass body.

[0011] Furthermore, the glass body is made of LOW-E glass and / or high-strength PC material.

[0012] Furthermore, the length of the glass body in the front-to-back direction is 1000 mm to 3600 mm.

[0013] Beneficial effects: The skylight glass assembly of the present invention is provided with a supporting frame to support the glass body, so the overall strength of the glass body is relatively high; on this basis, when ventilation is required in the vehicle, the driving device can drive the glass body with relatively high overall strength to move and open, thereby realizing ventilation and having a better ventilation effect.

[0024] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0025] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The roof 11 of the automobile 1 is provided with an opening 12 leading to the interior of the vehicle, and an annular support platform 121 is provided along the side wall of the opening below the top edge of the opening 12 (see FIG. Figure 3 The skylight glass body 2 of the skylight glass assembly is placed on the support platform 121, blocking the opening 12 and flush with the top surface of the vehicle body. The skylight glass body 2 is made of Low-E glass and / or high-strength PC (polycarbonate) material. Its front-to-back length is 1000mm to 3600mm, accounting for 40% to 80% of the total front-to-back length of the vehicle 1, which can greatly enhance the sense of transparency inside the vehicle. Figure 4 and Figure 5 A square support frame 3 is positioned below the glass body 2, oriented upward toward the bottom edge of the glass body 2. The glass body 2 is mounted on the support frame 3 by gluing or welding, and is supported by the support frame 3. Together, the glass body 2 and the support frame 3 form a high-strength glass assembly, making the skylight glass body 2 less susceptible to damage.

[0026] See Figure 1 The outer ring seal 51 is installed around the periphery of the glass body 2 and is clamped and deformed laterally by the glass body 2 and the roof 11 (combined Figure 6 ) to achieve sealing. Figure 6 A frame-shaped inner ring seal 52 is provided along the entire lower surface of the support frame 3. Positioned between the glass body 2 and the roof 11 support platform 121, the inner ring seal 52 is vertically clamped and deformed by the support frame 3 and the roof 11 support platform 121 to achieve a seal. The outer and inner ring seals 51 and 52 create a double seal for the skylight glass assembly, ensuring excellent airtightness.

[0027] See Figure 7Four drive devices 4 are spaced apart below the high-strength glass assembly. These four drive devices 4 are grouped in pairs. The two drive devices 4 in the front group are symmetrically arranged, one on the left and one on the right. The two drive devices 4 in the rear group are symmetrically arranged front to back with the two drive devices 4 in the front group. These four drive devices 4 have the same structure. The following description will only take the right drive device 4 in the front group as an example. Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 8 The driving device 4 includes a rotating motor 41 installed on the placement platform 13. The rotating shaft of the rotating motor 41 extends to the left and is connected to a worm gear reducer 42 (existing technology, its specific structure is not repeated). A front and rear transverse screw 43 is provided in front of the worm gear reducer 42, and a bearing seat 44 is provided at the front and rear of the screw 43. The bearing seat 44 is fixedly installed on the placement platform 13, and the screw 43 is passed through these two bearing seats 44. The front of the worm gear reducer 42 is docked with the rear of the screw 43. The forward and reverse rotation of the rotating shaft of the rotating motor 41 drives the screw 43 to rotate forward and reverse around its own axis relative to the bearing seat 44 through the worm gear reducer 42. A front and rear transverse guide groove 47 is opened next to the screw 13 on the right side wall of the opening 12 of the roof 11 (see Figure 5 and Figure 3 ), the guide groove 47 serves as a guide rail; the screw 43 has a double-start thread (i.e., the threads of the front and rear halves of the screw 43 rotate in opposite directions), and two movable seats 45 are respectively arranged at the front and rear sections of the screw 43, symmetrically arranged. The right portion of each is respectively engaged in the guide groove 47, while the left portion is respectively threadedly connected to the screw 43. The screw 43 rotates forward and backward about its own axis, driving the two movable seats 45 toward or away from each other along the guide groove 47. Each movable seat 45 is equipped with an inclined arc-shaped connecting rod 46. The two connecting rods 46 are symmetrical front and back. Each connecting rod 46 is hinged at the bottom end to the corresponding movable seat 45 and at the top end to the right front portion of the bottom surface of the support frame 3. As the two movable seats 45 approach each other as described above, they drive the two inclined connecting rods 46 toward each other and erect them, thereby lifting the support frame 3 (right front portion) upward. Other embodiments may not have the guide groove 47 and instead have a slide rail detachably mounted on the side wall of the opening 12 of the roof 11.

[0028] To enable the four drive devices 4 to control the activation of their own rotating motors 41, a control panel (not shown) is installed inside the vehicle. This control panel contains a control chip (not shown) with a pre-set control program. The control chip controls the rotating motors 41 connected to the four drive devices 4 via a wired connection, wireless connection, Bluetooth connection, or other means. When ventilation is required in the vehicle, the user simply operates the control panel to have the control chip activate the rotating motors 41 of the four drive devices 4. When ventilation is required in the vehicle, the control chip controls the synchronous activation of the rotating motors 41 of the four drive devices 4. The forward rotation of the rotating shafts of the rotating motors 41 drives the screw 43 through the worm gear reducer 42 to rotate forward about its own axis, causing the two movable seats 45 on the screw 43 to move toward each other along the guide groove 47, driving the two inclined connecting rods 46 to gradually move toward each other and erect. The four drive devices 4 then work together to lift the support frame 3 and the glass body 2 mounted thereon horizontally upward to a position above the roof 11. The opening 12 of the roof 11 is then opened, allowing ventilation to the vehicle interior. The control chip can control only the driving device 4 of the front group to start, so that the two driving devices 4 of the front group work together to push the front of the high-strength glass assembly upward and open it, so that the opening 12 of the roof 11 is exposed to achieve ventilation; similarly, the control chip can be changed to control only the driving device 4 of the rear group to start, so that the two driving devices 4 of the rear group work together to push the rear of the high-strength glass assembly upward and open it.

[0029] In this embodiment, the drive motor is a rotary motor 41, and a worm gear reducer 42, a screw 43, a bearing block 44, a movable block 45, a connecting rod 46, and a guide slot 47 together form a transmission assembly. The transmission assembly is driven by the drive motor to lift and open the support frame 3 and the glass body 2. In other embodiments, the drive motor can be replaced by a telescopic motor, and the transmission assembly can be replaced by a corresponding movable connecting rod. The telescopic motor is connected to the bottom of the support frame 3 or the bottom of the glass body 2 via the movable connecting rod. The telescopic motor is extended and retracted to drive the support frame 3 and the glass body 2 to move upward and downward to achieve opening and closing. In addition, the drive motor can be located above the roof 11, so that the glass body 2 is lifted and opened by pulling it upward from the bottom.

[0030] The above is only an embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the scope of patent protection. Those skilled in the art can make non-substantial changes or substitutions based on the present invention and still fall within the scope of patent protection.
