Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle manufacturing technology, and more particularly to a sunroof device and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] With advancements in technology and increasing demands for automotive appearance and performance, sunroofs, as crucial components for enhancing the driving experience, have garnered significant attention for their performance and quality. Installed on the roof, sunroofs effectively improve airflow within the vehicle, increasing the intake of fresh air. Simultaneously, they provide a wider field of vision and cater to the needs of mobile photography and videography.

[0003] In existing vehicles, the sunroof has a large Z-axis space, which occupies valuable headroom inside the vehicle.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a vehicle sunroof device and a vehicle to reduce the Z-axis height of the vehicle sunroof device, thereby increasing the interior space. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a vehicle sunroof device and a vehicle, which can effectively reduce the Z-axis height of the vehicle sunroof device and increase the interior space of the vehicle.

[0006] According to one aspect of the present invention, a vehicle sunroof device is provided, comprising:

[0007] A glass assembly comprising a sunroof glass and a bezel disposed on the inner side of the sunroof glass in the Z-direction.

[0008] A sunshade assembly located on the Z-direction inner side of the glass assembly includes a zipper tube. The zipper tube comprises a zipper tube body extending along the Y-direction and zipper tube side bodies integrally disposed at both ends of the zipper tube body extending along the X-direction. The edging corresponding to the Y-direction position of each zipper tube side body is a first edging segment. The first edging segment is offset from the zipper tube side body on the same side in the Y-direction in the Z-direction so that the first edging segment is located inside or outside the zipper tube side body on the same side in the Y-direction.

[0009] Among them, the Z direction is consistent with the Z direction of the vehicle, the Y direction is consistent with the Y direction of the vehicle, and the X direction is consistent with the X direction of the vehicle.

[0010] In one embodiment, the first binding segment is located on the outer side of the zipper tube side body in the Y direction relative to the same side in the Y direction.

[0011] In one embodiment, the sunshade assembly further includes a rear beam, the zipper tube is embedded in the rear beam, a tube clamp for defining the zipper tube is provided on the rear beam, and at least one end of the tube clamp provided at the end section of the side body of the zipper tube is configured with a reduction portion to form an upward space for the sunshade assembly to approach the glass assembly.

[0012] In one embodiment, the distance between the reduced portion of the end section of the pipe clamp and the sunroof glass in the Z direction is no more than 4 mm.

[0013] In one embodiment, the sunshade assembly further includes guide rails and pull rods. In the Y direction, the guide rails are arranged in pairs at intervals, and each guide rail extends along the X direction. The pull rods are provided with sliders at both ends in the Y direction to be slidably installed in the paired guide rails. The pull rods are provided with first thinning avoidance portions on the side of the Y-direction end closest to the sunroof glass.

[0014] In one embodiment, each guide rail is provided with a first guide groove extending along the guide rail direction. The first guide groove has an opening facing inward in the Y direction. The slider is disposed in the first guide groove through the opening of the first guide groove. A second thinning avoidance part is provided on the groove wall of the first guide groove on the side adjacent to the sunroof glass.

[0015] In one embodiment, each guide rail is provided with a second guide groove arranged along the extension direction of the guide rail. The second guide groove is spaced apart from the first guide groove in the Y direction and is located outside the first guide groove. The side wall of the second guide groove away from the sunroof glass is connected to the bottom wall of the first guide groove, while the side wall of the second guide groove near the sunroof glass is away from the side wall of the first guide groove near the sunroof glass in the Z direction.

[0016] In one embodiment, the side wall of the second guide groove near the sunroof glass is curved to be close to the side wall of the second guide groove away from the sunroof glass.

[0017] In one embodiment, a third thinning clearance portion is provided on the inner side of the edging located on the outer side of the guide rail in the Z direction.

[0018] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a vehicle is provided, including the aforementioned vehicle sunroof device.

[0019] The above technical solution has the following beneficial effects: In this vehicle sunroof device, the first edge section and the side body of the pull-lock tube are offset in the Z direction of the vehicle, so that the edge does not affect the overall lifting of the sunshade assembly, thereby effectively reducing the Z-direction height of the vehicle sunroof device and increasing the arrangement space inside the vehicle. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The disclosure of this invention will become more readily understood by referring to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this invention. In the drawings:

[0027] In the accompanying drawings, the same parts use the same reference numerals. The drawings are not drawn to scale. Detailed Implementation

[0028] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] One embodiment of the present invention provides a vehicle sunroof device. For example... Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the vehicle sunroof assembly includes a glass assembly 100 and a sunshade assembly 200. Among them, as... Figure 2 As shown, the glass assembly 100 includes a sunroof glass 110 and a bezel 120. The bezel 120 is located on the inner side of the sunroof glass 110 in the Z-direction (corresponding to the vehicle's height, i.e., vertical direction) (with reference to the vehicle's own orientation, the inner side refers to the direction towards the vehicle's geometric center), and its structure can be ring-shaped. The sunshade assembly 200 is located on the inner side of the glass assembly 100 in the Z-direction. Structurally, the sunshade assembly 200 includes a pull-lock tube 210. (Further details omitted) Figure 5 The zipper tube 210 comprises a zipper tube body 211 and zipper tube side bodies 212. The zipper tube body 211 extends along the Y-direction (aligned with the vehicle's transverse direction, i.e., left-right direction). Two zipper tube side bodies 212 are respectively located at both ends of the zipper tube body 211 along the Y-direction and are integrally connected to the zipper tube body 211. The zipper tube body 211 is a part of the zipper tube 210. Figure 2Only the zipper tube body 211 is shown in the diagram, so the indexing position of the zipper tube body 211 is the same as that of the zipper tube 210. Meanwhile, each zipper tube side body 212 extends along the X direction (consistent with the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, i.e., the front-to-back direction). The section of the edging 120 corresponding to the zipper tube side body 212 in the Y direction of the vehicle can be called the first edging section 121. Figure 4 (The portion within the general ellipse line). According to this application, as... Figure 2 As shown, the first edging segment 121 is offset from the corresponding zipper tube side body 212 in the Z-direction of the vehicle. That is, there is no edging 120 directly above the zipper tube side body 212 in the Z-direction. The relationship between the first edging segment 121 and the zipper tube side body 212 on the same side in the Y-direction is as follows: in the Y-direction, the first edging segment 121 is located either inside (with reference to the vehicle's own orientation, inside refers to the direction closer to the vehicle's geometric center) or outside (with reference to the vehicle's own orientation, outside refers to the direction away from the vehicle's geometric center, opposite to the inside direction). Therefore, the edging 120 does not hinder the overall Z-direction lifting of the sunshade assembly 200 in the Z-direction of the vehicle, thereby helping to reduce the Z-direction height of the sunroof device and thus increasing the interior space.

[0030] Preferably, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first edging segment 121 is located on the outer side of the zipper tube side body 212 in the Y direction relative to the same side in the Y direction. Specifically, taking the vehicle's own orientation as a reference, there is a corresponding set of first edging segments 121 and zipper tube side bodies 212 on the right side of the vehicle, with the first edging segment 121 located to the right of the zipper tube side body 212; and a corresponding set of first edging segments 121 and zipper tube side bodies 212 on the left side of the vehicle, with the first edging segment 121 located to the left of the zipper tube side body 212. On the one hand, this arrangement of the edging 120 does not significantly alter the existing technology and does not affect the edging's function; on the other hand, this arrangement of the edging 120 is easy to implement in terms of manufacturing process and can also help improve the interior space.

[0031] In one embodiment, the sunshade assembly 200 further includes a rear beam 220 located at the rear end of the vehicle in the X direction. Figure 5As shown, the zipper tube 210 is embedded within the rear beam 220, and the free end of the zipper tube side body 212 extends towards the front end in the X direction. A tube clamp 230 is provided on the rear beam 220 to define the zipper tube 210. At least one end of the tube clamp 230, located at the end section of the zipper tube side body 212, is constructed with a reduction portion 231. This reduction portion 231 is used to reduce the thickness of the tube clamp 230 at a corresponding location. For example, when the tube clamp 230 is a plastic-coated material wrapped around the zipper tube side body 212, this material can be at least partially eliminated in the area of ​​the reduction portion 231. It is understood that "at least partially eliminated" here can mean that the thickness of the tube clamp 230 is reduced in the reduction portion 231, or that the tube clamp 230 is completely eliminated in the area of ​​the reduction portion 231. Figure 2 An embodiment is given in which the pipe clamp 230 is completely eliminated at the reduction section 231. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the pipe clamp 230 at the reduction section 231 is eliminated, and the reduction section 231 is located at the Z-upper end near the sunroof glass 110, while Figure 6 The diagram generally illustrates the extent of the reduction section 231 on the pipe clamp 230. This arrangement reduces the thickness of a portion of the pipe clamp 230, thereby providing upward lifting space for the sunshade assembly 200, further reducing the Z-axis height of the vehicle sunroof device, and thus increasing interior space. For example, in one specific embodiment, the distance between the reduction section 231 at the end of the pipe clamp 230 and the sunroof glass 110 in the Z-axis direction is no more than 4 mm, such as 4 mm, 3.5 mm, 3 mm, or other dimensions. This arrangement, considering structural and manufacturing processes, limits the distance between the reduction section 231 and the sunroof glass 110 in the Z-axis direction at this critical location, avoiding the problem of difficulty in improving Z-axis space due to an excessively large distance between the reduction section 231 and the sunroof glass 110. It ensures that the reduction section 231 is closer to the sunroof glass 110, facilitating efficient use of the vehicle's Z-axis space and maximizing interior space. In this application, improvements are made to the structure of the rear beam 220 and the zipper tube 210, meaning that the rear beam 220 and the zipper tube 210 can be components from the prior art.

[0032] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3As shown, the sunshade assembly 200 also includes a guide rail 240 and a pull rod 250. The guide rail 240 extends along the X-direction of the vehicle and is arranged in pairs at intervals along the Y-direction. Slider 251 is provided at both ends of the pull rod 250 in the Y-direction of the vehicle, and the slider 251 is slidably mounted within the paired guide rail 240. Furthermore, the slider 251 can move in the X-direction under the guidance of the guide rail 240, thereby driving the pull rod 250 to move in the X-direction. A first thinning clearance portion 252 is provided at both ends of the pull rod 250 near the sunroof glass 110. Since the pull rod 250's Y-direction ends are close to the sunroof glass 110, which may hinder the overall lifting of the sunshade assembly 200, the first thinning clearance portion 252 at both ends of the pull rod 250 can reduce the Z-direction thickness at both ends, thereby eliminating interference between parts and helping to further improve the vehicle's interior space. For example, the first thinning clearance portion 252 is formed by a partial chamfer.

[0033] Each guide rail 240 is provided with a first guide groove 241 extending along the direction of the guide rail 240. The first guide groove 241 has an opening facing the inward side of the vehicle in the Y direction. The slider 251 is disposed in the first guide groove 241 through the opening of the first guide groove 241. The first guide groove 241 serves to mount the slider 251. A second thinning clearance portion 242 is provided on the groove wall of the first guide groove 241 adjacent to the sunroof glass 110. The provision of the second thinning clearance portion 242 reduces the Z-direction thickness of the sunshade assembly 200 at that location, reduces the obstacle to the overall lifting of the sunshade assembly 200, and helps to improve the interior space of the vehicle. For example, the second thinning clearance portion 242 can be achieved by reducing the vertical edge or the lip edge.

[0034] Each guide rail 240 is provided with a second guide groove 243 extending along the direction of the guide rail 240. The second guide groove 243 and the first guide groove 241 are spaced apart in the Y direction of the vehicle and are located outside the first guide groove 241. The side wall of the second guide groove 243 away from the sunroof glass 110 is connected to the bottom wall of the first guide groove 241. The side wall of the second guide groove 243 near the sunroof glass 110 is away from the side wall of the first guide groove 241 near the sunroof glass 110 in the Z direction of the vehicle. Preferably, the side wall of the second guide groove 243 near the sunroof glass 110 is curved to approach the side wall of the second guide groove 243 away from the sunroof glass 110. That is, the upper side wall of the second guide groove 243 is curved in the Z direction to form the second guide groove 243, and this arrangement can effectively ensure that the wall of the second guide groove 243 is spaced apart from the wall of the first guide groove 241 in the Z direction. After installation, the second guide groove 243 is mainly used for the zipper to pass through. It is located on the lower side of the edging 120. The groove wall of the second guide groove 243 is far away from the groove wall of the first guide groove 241 in the Z direction. It does not interfere with the edging 120 at that location, which helps to improve the interior space of the vehicle.

[0035] A third thinning clearance portion 122 is provided on the outer edge 120 section of the vehicle located on the guide rail 240 in the Z direction. The third thinning clearance portion 122 is located on the inner side of the edge 120 in the Y direction, that is, thinning is performed on the inner side of the edge 120 in the Y direction so as not to affect the overall lifting of the sunshade assembly 200. The third thinning clearance portion 122 is implemented by partial chamfering.

[0036] In the sunshade assembly 200 of this application, the connection and positional relationship between the guide rail 240, the rear beam 220, and the pull cord tube 210 are not improved. That is to say, the connection and positional relationship between the guide rail 240, the rear beam 220, and the pull cord tube 210 in this application are consistent with the prior art.

[0037] According to the vehicle sunroof device of this application, the edge 120 at the pull cord 210 is designed so that the edge 120 and the side body 212 of the pull cord are not directly opposite each other in the Z-direction. This effectively saves Z-direction space, allowing the sunshade assembly 200 to be raised a certain distance closer to the glass assembly 100. This distance is approximately equal to the thickness of the edge 120, for example, 3 mm. Furthermore, by reducing the thickness of the pipe clamp 230, the sunshade assembly 200 can be further raised by approximately 3 mm. Additionally, improvements are made near the guide rail 240, with thinning and clearance portions made for several components, such as the pull rod 250, the guide rail 240, and the edge 120. This reduces the thickness of these components at the thinning and clearance portions, thereby providing approximately 3.5 to 5 mm of lifting space for the sunshade assembly 200. Therefore, the vehicle sunroof device of this application significantly reduces the Z-direction space of the vehicle sunroof device, saving space for vehicle body layout.

[0038] This application also relates to vehicles. Vehicles include the aforementioned sunroof devices.

[0039] The above are merely the principles and preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several other modifications can be made based on the principles of the present invention, and these modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
