Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates generally to the field of vehicle technology, and more specifically to mounting components for vehicle sun visors, roof assemblies, and vehicles including the roof assembly. Background Technology

[0002] Vehicle sun visors are typically mounted to the roof lining using mounting components. This allows the sun visor to withstand the roll-over forces exerted by vehicle occupants, as well as vibrations and impacts from vehicle bumps during driving. Currently, some vehicles are equipped with roof-mounted airbags for passenger protection; however, the deployment of these airbags can create a significant impact on the sun visor. Conventional mounting components may not be able to securely hold the sun visor in place during airbag deployment, causing it to fall off. The desired solution is a mounting component that can easily and securely attach the sun visor to the roof lining. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems existing in the prior art and to provide an improved mounting component for a vehicle sun visor, a roof assembly including the mounting component, and a vehicle including the roof assembly.

[0004] To this end, a first aspect of the present invention provides a mounting member for mounting a pivot rod of a vehicle sun visor to a roof panel, the mounting member comprising a plastic body and a first metal reinforcement. The plastic body includes: a connecting portion configured to receive and connect to an end of the pivot rod, the connecting portion being adapted to extend through an opening in the roof panel; and a first attachment portion and a second attachment portion extending from the connecting portion and adapted to be located on an outer and inner side of the roof panel, respectively, the first attachment portion being hook-shaped and adapted to hook onto the roof panel, and the second attachment portion being adapted to be secured to the roof panel. At least a portion of the first metal reinforcement is disposed at the junction of the first attachment portion and the connecting portion.

[0005] The first aspect of the invention may further include any one or more of the following optional embodiments.

[0006] In some alternative embodiments, at least a portion of the first metal reinforcement extends from the junction of the first attachment portion and the connecting portion along the extending direction of the first attachment portion.

[0007] In some alternative embodiments, the first metal reinforcement includes a first engagement portion, and the first attachment portion includes a second engagement portion, wherein the first engagement portion engages with the second engagement portion to restrict relative movement of the first metal reinforcement portion relative to the first attachment portion, wherein one of the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion is in the form of an orifice, and the other is in the form of a protrusion.

[0008] In some alternative embodiments, the second attachment includes a through hole for receiving fasteners for securing the second attachment to the roof sheet metal, wherein the mounting member further includes a second metal reinforcement disposed at the through hole and bearing the fastening force of the fasteners.

[0009] In some alternative embodiments, the through hole is in the form of a stepped hole and includes a stepped surface, wherein the second metal reinforcement is sheet-like and extends along the stepped surface and is embedded in the sidewall of the through hole.

[0010] In some alternative embodiments, at least a portion of the second metal reinforcement is annular and coaxially disposed in the through hole to bear the fastening force of the fastener.

[0011] In some alternative embodiments, the through-hole is in the form of a stepped hole and includes a first segment and a second segment adjacent to each other, the inner diameter of the first segment being larger than the inner diameter of the second segment, and the first segment and the second segment defining a stepped surface therebetween; wherein, the second metal reinforcement is annularly and coaxially disposed in the second segment of the through-hole and extends beyond the stepped surface in the axial direction of the through-hole; or the second metal reinforcement includes an annular portion coaxially disposed in the second segment of the through-hole and a shoulder portion extending from the annular portion along the stepped surface.

[0012] In some alternative embodiments, the first metal reinforcement and / or the second metal reinforcement are integrally injection molded with the plastic body via inserts.

[0013] In some alternative embodiments, the connecting portion includes a receiving channel for receiving the end of the pivot rod and a first interlocking portion disposed on the inner surface of the receiving channel, the first interlocking portion being adapted to interlock with a second interlocking portion at the end of the pivot rod to connect the connecting portion to the end of the pivot rod, wherein one of the first interlocking portion and the second interlocking portion is in the form of a protrusion and the other is in the form of a recess.

[0014] A second aspect of the invention provides a roof assembly including a roof panel, a sun visor, a pivot rod, and a mounting member according to a first aspect of the invention, wherein the sun visor is connected to and pivotable about the pivot rod, and the pivot rod is mounted to the roof panel via the mounting member.

[0015] A third aspect of the invention provides a vehicle comprising a roof assembly according to a second aspect of the invention.

[0016] In the case of the mounting component, roof assembly, and vehicle of the present invention, during assembly, the mounting component can first partially pass through an opening in the roof sheet metal, such that the first attachment portion and the second attachment portion are located on the outer and inner sides of the roof sheet metal, respectively. The first attachment portion hooks onto the roof sheet metal, thus pre-holding the mounting component on the roof sheet metal to prevent accidental drop during installation. Then, the second attachment portion can be fixed to the roof sheet metal from the inner side, facilitating the installation and fixing of the mounting component and sun visor to the roof sheet metal. Furthermore, in the event that the airbag on the outer side of the roof sheet metal inflates and deploys, causing the sun visor and the mounting component connected to the pivot rod of the sun visor to tend to move towards the interior of the vehicle relative to the roof sheet metal, resulting in stress concentration at the connection between the first attachment portion hooked onto the roof sheet metal and the connecting portion, the first metal reinforcement portion of the mounting component can prevent the mounting component from breaking at the connection between the first attachment portion and the connecting portion, avoiding the ejection of fragments of the mounting component and preventing the mounting component and the sun visor connected to the mounting component from falling off.

[0030] Figures 1 to 8B A roof assembly 10 and its components are shown according to some exemplary embodiments of the present invention.

[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 3B The roof assembly 10 may include a roof sheet 100, a sun visor 200, a pivot rod 300, and mounting members 400 and retaining hooks 500 for mounting the sun visor 200 to the roof sheet 100.

[0032] In the illustrated embodiment, the sun visor 200 may include a receiving channel (not shown) at its periphery, the receiving channel including an insertion port 202. The sun visor 200 may also include a pivot axis 204 at its periphery. The insertion port 202 and the pivot axis 204 of the receiving channel may be located on opposite sides of the receiving channel. The pivot rod 300 may include a pivot section 302 and a mounting section 304 connected to each other. The pivot section 302 of the pivot rod 300 may be inserted into the receiving channel of the sun visor 200 via the insertion port 202 and connected to the sun visor 200, such that the sun visor 200 can pivot about the pivot section 302 of the pivot rod 300. The mounting section 304 of the pivot rod 300 may be mounted to the roof panel 100 by a mounting member 400. The pivot axis 204 of the sun visor 200 may be rotatably mounted to a retaining hook 500, and the retaining hook 500 may be secured to the roof panel 100. Thus, the sun visor 200 can be mounted to the roof panel 100 by means of the pivot rod 300, the mounting member 400, and the retaining hook 500, and can be mounted around the pivot section 302 of the pivot rod 300, such as Figure 3A The initial position shown is Figure 3B Pivot between the indicated flip positions.

[0033] Reference Figures 4 to 6The mounting member 400 may include a plastic body 402 and a first metal reinforcement 404. The plastic body 402 may include a connecting portion 406, a first attachment portion 408, and a second attachment portion 410. The connecting portion 406 is configured to receive and connect to an end 306 of the pivot rod 300 (more specifically, the end 306 of the mounting section 304 of the pivot rod 300). The connecting portion 406 is adapted to extend through an opening 102 in the roof panel 100. The first attachment portion 408 and the second attachment portion 410 extend from the connecting portion 406 and are adapted to be located on the outer and inner sides of the roof panel 100, respectively (wherein, the inner side of the roof panel 100 is the side of the roof panel 100 adapted to face the vehicle interior / passenger compartment C; the outer side of the roof panel 100, opposite to the inner side, is the side of the roof panel 100 adapted to face away from the vehicle interior / passenger compartment C). The first attachment portion 408 is hook-shaped and adapted to be hooked onto the roof sheet metal 100, and the second attachment portion 410 is adapted to be fixed to the roof sheet metal 100. The first metal reinforcement portion 404 is provided at the connection between the first attachment portion 408 and the connecting portion 406.

[0034] The aforementioned mounting member 400 can first partially pass through the opening 102 on the roof panel 100, such that the first attachment portion 408 and the second attachment portion 410 are located on the outer and inner sides of the roof panel 100, respectively. The first attachment portion 408 hooks onto the roof panel 100, thereby pre-holding the mounting member 400 on the roof panel 100 and preventing it from accidentally falling off during installation. Then, the second attachment portion 410 can be fixed to the roof panel 100 from the inner side using, for example, a fastener 600, thereby facilitating the installation and fixation of the mounting member 400 and the sun visor 200 connected to the mounting member 400 via the pivot rod 300 to the roof panel 100. Furthermore, when the airbag on the outer side of the roof panel 100 inflates and deploys, causing the sun visor 200, the pivot rod 300 connected to the sun visor 200, and the mounting member 400 to move relative to the roof panel 100 toward the vehicle interior / passenger compartment C, resulting in stress concentration at the connection between the first attachment portion 408 and the connecting portion 406 hooked on the roof panel 100, the first metal reinforcement portion 404 of the mounting member 400 can prevent the mounting member 400 from breaking at the connection between the first attachment portion 408 and the connecting portion 406, thereby preventing fragments of the mounting member 400 from flying out and preventing the mounting member 400 and the sun visor 200 connected to the mounting member 400 from falling off.

[0035] Reference Figures 3A to 6The connecting portion 406 of the plastic body 402 of the mounting member 400 is generally cylindrical and defines a receiving channel 412 therein for receiving the end 306 of the mounting section 304 of the pivot rod 300. The connecting portion 406 may further include a first interlocking portion 414 disposed on the inner surface of the receiving channel 412, the first interlocking portion 414 being adapted to interlock with a second interlocking portion 308 at the end 306 of the pivot rod 300, so that the connecting portion 406 and the end 306 of the pivot rod 300 are connected to each other. In the illustrated embodiment, the connecting portion 406 includes three first interlocking portions 414 in the form of protrusions spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the receiving channel 412, and the end 306 of the pivot rod 300 includes a second interlocking portion 308 in the form of an annular notch; the three first interlocking portions 414 can interlock with one second interlocking portion 308. It is conceivable that, in some other embodiments not shown, the first interlocking part may be in the form of a notch, and the second interlocking part may be in the form of a convex part; in some other embodiments not shown, other suitable numbers of first interlocking parts and second interlocking parts may be provided.

[0036] The first attachment portion 408 and the second attachment portion 410 of the plastic body 402 can extend from opposite axial ends of the connecting portion 406, respectively. The first attachment portion 408 can first extend along a first lateral direction T1 transverse to the axial direction of the connecting portion 406 and then bend toward the second attachment portion 410 to form a hook shape. The free end of the first attachment portion 408 includes a contact portion 416 for contacting the roof sheet 100. The second attachment portion 410 can extend transverse to the axial direction of the connecting portion 406 to form a plate shape. A portion of the second attachment portion 410 can extend along a second lateral direction T2 opposite to the first lateral direction T1, and another portion of the second attachment portion 410 can extend along the first lateral direction T1. In the illustrated embodiment, most of the second attachment portion 410 extends along the second lateral direction T2. The portion of the second attachment 410 extending in the second lateral direction T2 may include a through hole 418 to receive a fastener 600 for securing the second attachment 410 to the roof sheet 100 and the roof liner 800.

[0037] In the illustrated embodiment, the fastener 600 may be a self-tapping screw made of metal, and the fastener 600 is adapted to engage with the retaining clip 700 to secure the second attachment 410 to the roof sheet 100. The fastener 600 may include a head 602 and a rod portion 604.

[0038] In the illustrated embodiment, the retaining clip 700 may be made of metal and may be mounted and self-held in an opening 104 of the roof panel 100. The retaining clip 700 may include a base plate 702 and a pair of wings 704 extending from the base plate 702 and opposing each other (only one wing is shown in the figure). The base plate 702 may have a first aperture 706 through which a rod portion 604 of the fastener 600 passes, and a second aperture 708 through which the rod portion 604 of the fastener 600 passes between the pair of wings 704. When the retaining clip 700 is pre-installed in the opening 104 of the roof panel 100, the base plate 702 is located inside the roof panel 100, the wings 704 pass through the opening 104, and the retaining clip 700 is held in the opening 104 by means of the elasticity of the wings 704. The shank 604 of the fastener 600 can be screwed through the second hole 708 between the first hole 706 and the wing 704 on the base plate 702, and engages with the second hole 708 between the first hole 706 and the wing 704 on the base plate 702. When the shank 604 of the fastener 600 is screwed through the second hole 708 between the wings 704, due to the engagement of the thread on the shank 604 of the fastener 600 with the edge of the second hole 708, the free end of the wing 704 is pressed down toward the roof sheet 100, so that when the fastener 600 is screwed in place, the wing 704 is flattened and pressed against the roof sheet 100. In this way, keeping the buckle 700 and the fastener 600 engaged with each other, the second attachment 410 can securely fix the mounting member 400 to the roof sheet 100 and the roof liner 800.

[0039] The fastening principle of the retaining clip 700 shown in the figure is similar to that of an expansion nut; therefore, it is conceivable that in other embodiments not shown, other suitable expansion nuts may be used instead. It is also conceivable that in other embodiments not shown, the second attachment 410 may be secured to the roof sheet metal 100 by means of other suitable fastening components (e.g., externally threaded fasteners such as bolts or studs, and hexagonal nuts, etc.).

[0040] Reference Figures 3A to 4 When an airbag is installed on the outer side of the roof panel 100, the airbag will typically deflect from the side of the roof panel 100 closest to the windshield during a collision or other accident. Figure 3A and Figure 3B The left side of the sun visor pops out to provide protection for passengers. The sun visor is positioned at 200 degrees. Figure 3A and Figure 3B The area about 100mm from the roof panel, especially Figure 3BWhen the airbag is positioned near the airbag deployment area, the airbag's expansion and deployment will generate a significant impact, causing the sun visor 200 near the roof panel 100 to tend to move downward relative to the roof panel 100, thereby pulling the pivot rod 300 downward. This causes the mounting member 400 connected to the pivot rod 300 to tend to move downward relative to the roof panel 100, which in turn causes stress concentration, especially shear stress concentration, at the connection between the first attachment portion 408 and the connecting portion 406 of the mounting member 400 and at the connection between the second attachment portion 410 and the fastener 600.

[0041] To address this, the mounting component 400 is provided with the aforementioned first metal reinforcement 404 to prevent the plastic body 402 from breaking at the stress concentration area at the connection between the first attachment portion 408 and the connecting portion 406, which could result in flying fragments or cause the sun visor 200 to fall off and injure passengers.

[0042] Reference Figures 5A to 6 The first metal reinforcement 404 may be a metal sheet and extends from the connection between the first attachment portion 408 and the connecting portion 406 along the extending direction of the first attachment portion 408 to form a curved shape. The first metal reinforcement 404 can provide reinforcement for the mounting member 400, preventing or avoiding breakage of the plastic body 402 at the connection between the first attachment portion 408 and the connecting portion 406, and even if the connection of the plastic body 402 breaks, the first attachment portion 408 can still be connected to the connecting portion 406 by means of the first metal reinforcement 404 without being ejected.

[0043] It is conceivable that, in other embodiments not shown, the first metal reinforcement 404 may not be a metal sheet, but rather a metal strip extending from the connection between the first attachment and the connecting portion along the extending direction of the first attachment. It is also conceivable that, in other embodiments not shown, the first metal reinforcement, in addition to extending from the connection between the first attachment and the connecting portion along the extending direction of the first attachment, may extend from the connection between the first attachment and the connecting portion into the connecting portion (e.g., the wall portion 407 of the connecting portion 406) to provide further reinforcement to the mounting member.

[0044] In the illustrated embodiment, the first metal reinforcement 404 includes a first engaging portion 420 in the form of an orifice, and the first attachment 408 includes a second engaging portion 422 in the form of a protrusion. The first engaging portion 420 can engage with the second engaging portion 422 to restrict relative movement of the first metal reinforcement 404 relative to the first attachment 408. The first metal reinforcement 404 can be integrally injection molded with the plastic body 402 via insert molding. The second engaging portion 422 of the first attachment 408 can be formed from molten plastic flowing into the first engaging portion 420 of the first metal reinforcement 404 during insert molding, and enhances the bond strength between the first metal reinforcement 404 and the first attachment 408 by engaging with the first engaging portion 420 of the first metal reinforcement 404. It is contemplated that in other embodiments not shown, the first engaging portion may be in the form of a protrusion, and the second engaging portion may be in the form of an orifice.

[0045] Reference Figures 4 to 8B The second attachment portion 410 of the plastic body 402 has a through hole 418 in the form of a stepped hole and includes a first segment 424 and a second segment 426 adjacent to each other. The inner diameter of the first segment 424 is larger than the inner diameter of the second segment 426. A stepped surface 428 is defined therebetween the first segment 424 and the second segment 426. The first segment 424 can receive the head 602 of the fastener 600, and the second segment 426 can receive the shank 604 of the fastener 600. The stepped surface 428 is used to withstand the fastening force of the fastener 600. A plurality of circumferentially spaced retaining protrusions 427 may also be provided on the inner periphery of the second segment 426 to engage with the external thread of the fastener 600 to retain the fastener 600 at the second attachment portion 410.

[0046] The mounting member 400 may further include a second metal reinforcement 430, which may be disposed at the through hole 418 of the second attachment portion 410 and bear the fastening force of the fastener 600. This reduces or eliminates stress concentration at the stepped surface 428 of the second attachment portion 410 caused by the fastening force of the fastener 600 when the airbag deploys and the mounting member 400 tends to move downwards relative to the roof sheet 100, thereby preventing the second attachment portion 410 from breaking at the stepped surface 428. The second metal reinforcement 430 may be integrally injection molded with the plastic body 402 using inserts.

[0047] exist Figure 6In the illustrated embodiment, the second metal reinforcement 430 is sheet-shaped and extends along the stepped surface 428 and is embedded in the sidewall of the first segment 424 of the through hole 418. The second metal reinforcement 430, extending along the stepped surface 428 and embedded in the sidewall of the through hole 418, can increase the bearing area subjected to the fastening force of the fastener 600, thereby reducing or eliminating shear stress concentration at the periphery of the stepped surface 428 of the second attachment 410 caused by the fastening force of the fastener 600, and preventing the second attachment 410 from breaking at the periphery of the stepped surface 428.

[0048] exist Figure 7A and Figure 7B In the illustrated embodiment, the second metal reinforcement 430 is annularly and coaxially disposed in the second segment 426 of the through hole 418 and extends beyond the stepped surface 428 along the axial direction of the through hole 418. The outer peripheral surface of the second metal reinforcement 430 can be coupled to the inner peripheral surface of the second segment 426 of the through hole 418.

[0049] exist Figure 8A and Figure 8B In the illustrated embodiment, the second metal reinforcement 430 includes an annular portion 432 coaxially disposed in the second segment 426 of the through hole 418 and a shoulder 434 extending from the annular portion 432 along the stepped surface 428. The outer peripheral surface of the annular portion 432 of the second metal reinforcement 430 may engage with the inner peripheral surface of the second segment 426 of the through hole 418. The shoulder 434 may not be embedded in the sidewall of the first segment 424 of the through hole 418. In other embodiments not shown, the shoulder may be embedded in the sidewall of the first segment of the through hole.

[0050] for Figures 7A to 8B In the embodiment shown, the fastening force applied by the fastener 600 can be borne by the portion of the second metal reinforcement 430 extending in the axial direction along the through hole 418, thereby reducing the fastening force borne by the stepped surface 428 of the second attachment portion 410, thereby weakening or eliminating the stress concentration at the stepped surface 428 of the second attachment portion 410 caused by the fastening force of the fastener 600, and preventing the second attachment portion 410 from breaking at the stepped surface 428.
