Detailed Implementation
[0056] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0057] Understandably, with the development of the automotive market, people are placing increasingly higher demands on interior space when purchasing cars. Therefore, in the design and development of sunshade structures, in addition to the basic sun-shading function, it is also necessary to add more additional functions to enhance product competitiveness. Currently, sunshade structures present a multi-fold structure, but gaps exist between adjacent sun visors after the structure is unfolded, affecting aesthetics and consequently impacting user comfort.
[0058] For this purpose, please refer to Figures 1 to 6 This application provides a sunshade structure 100. The sunshade structure 100 is applied to a glass assembly (not shown) of a vehicle and is used to open or close the glass assembly. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a sunshade curtain structure 100 according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 for Figure 1 The image shows a partial enlarged view of the sunshade structure 100 at point A. Figure 3 for Figure 1 The top view of the sunshade structure 100 shown is shown. Figure 4 for Figure 3 The sectional view of the sunshade structure 100 shown along the BB direction. Figure 5 for Figure 4 The enlarged view of the sunshade structure 100 at point C is shown. Figure 6 for Figure 1 The diagram shown illustrates the process of the sunshade structure being folded 100 degrees.
[0059] To better illustrate the specific structure of the sunshade structure 100, the structure of the vehicle and the glass assembly is briefly described below. The vehicle includes a body (not shown) and the glass assembly of this application, which is mounted on the body. The glass assembly includes a window glass (not shown) and the sunshade structure 100 of this application. The sunshade structure 100 is disposed on one side of the window glass. Furthermore, the sunshade structure 100 is disposed on the side of the window glass located on the inner side of the vehicle, and the sunshade structure 100 can be disposed opposite to the window glass.
[0060] The sunshade structure 100 can be unfolded or folded relative to the vehicle window glass. When unfolded, the sunshade structure 100 blocks the vehicle window glass to provide shading. When folded, the sunshade structure 100 opens the vehicle window glass, allowing outside light to enter the vehicle. Thus, by unfolding and folding the sunshade structure 100, the vehicle window glass can be blocked or opened to meet the user's needs in different scenarios.
[0061] In this embodiment, the window glass is a sunroof, installed on the roof of the vehicle. Correspondingly, the sunshade structure 100 is also installed on the inner roof of the vehicle to cover or open the sunroof. In other embodiments, the glass assembly may also be a windshield, rear windshield, or side windows of the vehicle, etc. Of course, the window glass can also be glass components corresponding to other structural parts, devices, or equipment. This application uses the sunshade structure 100 covering or opening the window glass as an example for illustration.
[0062] The following describes the specific structure of the sunshade curtain structure 100 in some embodiments.
[0063] See Figures 1 to 8 In one embodiment, the sunshade structure 100 includes a sliding guide rail 110, a plurality of sunshade components 120, and an overlapping component 130. The plurality of sunshade components 120 are slidably connected to the sliding guide rail 110, and can be unfolded or folded along the sliding guide rail 110. When unfolded, the plurality of sunshade components 120 can be arranged sequentially along the sliding guide rail 110, and when folded, they can be stacked sequentially. An overlapping component 130 is provided between any two adjacent sunshade components 120, and the overlapping component 130 is used to cover the gap between the two adjacent sunshade components 120. Figure 7 for Figure 1 A partial enlarged view of two adjacent sunshade assemblies 120 in the sunshade structure 100 shown. Figure 8 for Figure 6A partial enlarged view of two adjacent sunshade components 120 in the sunshade structure 100 shown.
[0064] The sunshade assembly 120 is the main component of the sunshade structure 100, and the sliding guide rail 110 is the track for installing the sunshade structure 100. Multiple sunshade structures 100 are slidably mounted on the sliding guide rail 110, and multiple sunshade assemblies 120 can be unfolded or folded along the sliding guide rail 110. Furthermore, there are two sliding guide rails 110, which are arranged opposite to each other, and both ends of the sunshade assembly 120 are slidably mounted in the sliding guide rail 110.
[0065] To facilitate the description of the sunshade structure 100, the length direction, width direction, and height direction are introduced here, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the extending direction of the sliding guide rail 110 is the length direction, and the multiple sunshade assemblies 120 can be unfolded or folded along the length direction. The direction in which the two sliding guide rails 110 are arranged opposite each other is the width direction, and the thickness direction of the sunshade assembly 120 is the height direction. These length, width, and height directions apply to the sunshade structure 100 and its components, and will not be described in detail below.
[0066] In this embodiment, there are three sunshade curtain assemblies 120. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of sunshade curtain assemblies 120 may be two, four, or other numbers. It should be noted that the unfolding and folding principle of three sunshade curtain assemblies 120 is essentially the same as that of other numbers. The following description will only use the number of three sunshade curtain assemblies 120 as an example.
[0067] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, multiple sunshade assemblies 120 can slide along the sliding guide rail 110 to move away from each other. When the multiple sunshade assemblies 120 are fully unfolded, they are arranged sequentially along the sliding guide rail 110. In the unfolded state, the multiple sunshade assemblies 120 can block the light from the vehicle window glass, thus achieving a shading effect. Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, when multiple sunshade assemblies 120 slide along the sliding guide rail 110 and approach each other, one sunshade assembly 120 gradually moves into the side of another sunshade assembly 120 along the height direction. When the sunshade assembly 120 continues to move until it is fully folded, the multiple sunshade assemblies 120 are stacked sequentially along the height direction, and the car window glass can be opened.
[0068] Thus, the sunshade structure 100 can be unfolded or folded by arranging or stacking multiple sunshade components 120 in sequence, thereby blocking or opening the vehicle window glass. In this way, after the multiple sunshade components 120 are folded, they can be stacked sequentially, reducing the space occupied by the sunshade components 120 inside the vehicle and improving space utilization.
[0069] Furthermore, when two adjacent sunshade assemblies 120 are unfolded, a certain gap exists between them. When the sunshade assembly 120 covers the window glass, light will pass through this gap, meaning that outside light will enter the vehicle's interior through the gap between the adjacent sunshade assemblies 120, affecting the sunshade assembly 120's light-blocking effect. If the edges of the two adjacent sunshade assemblies 120 were to abut together to avoid the gap, this would cause interference between the two adjacent sunshade assemblies 120, affecting their folding mechanism.
[0070] Therefore, the sunshade structure 100 of this application also includes an overlapping component 130. The overlapping component 130 is disposed on the edge of one of the sunshade components 120. After at least two sunshade components 120 are unfolded, the overlapping component 130 can overlap the edge of the adjacent sunshade components 120 so that the overlapping component 130 can block the gap between the two adjacent sunshade components 120, preventing external light from entering the interior of the vehicle through the gap, and ensuring the aesthetics and sunshade effect of the sunshade structure 100.
[0071] The number of sunshade assemblies 120 is matched with the number of overlapping assemblies 130, that is, an overlapping assembly 130 is provided between any two adjacent sunshade assemblies 120. When there are two sunshade assemblies 120, there is one overlapping assembly 130, which is provided between the two sunshade assemblies 120. When there are three sunshade assemblies 120, there are two overlapping assemblies 130, which are provided at the two positions formed by the three sunshade assemblies 120.
[0072] When there are more sunshade assemblies 120, the number of overlapping components 130 is one less than the number of sunshade assemblies 120. Multiple sunshade assemblies 120 can form one less connection position for installing the overlapping components 130, so that one overlapping component 130 is provided between any two adjacent sunshade assemblies 120. This application only illustrates the example of two overlapping components 130 being provided between three sunshade assemblies 120.
[0073] Furthermore, the overlapping component 130 connects to the side of the two adjacent sunshade components 120 furthest from the window glass when folded. In other words, after the two sunshade components 120 are folded, they are stacked sequentially, with the overlapping component 130 positioned at the edge of the upper sunshade component 120. This allows the overlapping component 130 to block the gap between the two adjacent sunshade components 120, preventing the gap from connecting to the window glass. Consequently, ambient light is prevented from entering the vehicle's interior through the gap, maintaining the aesthetics of the sunshade structure 100 and improving the comfort of the user.
[0074] See Figures 1 to 8 In one embodiment, the overlapping component 130 is connected to the side of two adjacent sunshade assemblies 120 that is furthest from the window glass when folded, and can overlap the other side of two adjacent sunshade assemblies 120 when unfolded. Because the overlapping component 130 overlaps the adjacent sunshade assembly 120 when unfolded, if the lower sunshade assembly 120 moves upward to stack, the overlapping component 130 will block the lower sunshade assembly 120, affecting the stacking of the two adjacent sunshade assemblies 120.
[0075] like Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the overlapping component 130 is located at the edge of the right-side sunshade assembly 120. When two adjacent sunshade assemblies 120 are unfolded, the overlapping component 130 overlaps the edge of the left-side sunshade assembly 120. When two adjacent sunshade assemblies 120 are folded, the left-side sunshade assembly 120 moves to the bottom of the right-side sunshade assembly 120. If the overlapping component 130 is located at the edge of the left-side sunshade assembly 120, when two adjacent sunshade assemblies 120 are unfolded, the overlapping component 130 overlaps the edge of the right-side sunshade assembly 120. When two adjacent sunshade assemblies 120 are folded, the right-side sunshade assembly 120 moves to the bottom of the left-side sunshade assembly 120.
[0076] Thus, this application specifies that the overlapping component 130 is installed on the edge of the sunshade component 120 that is located above when folded. In this way, when two adjacent sunshade components 120 are folded, the overlapping component 130 will not obstruct the adjacent sunshade components 120, so that the two adjacent sunshade components 120 can be folded smoothly. Furthermore, when two adjacent sunshade components 120 are unfolded, the overlapping component 130 will not obstruct the sunshade components 120, so that the two adjacent sunshade components 120 can be unfolded smoothly.
[0077] Optionally, the sunshade structure 100 also includes a drive assembly (not shown), which is the power source for the unfolding and folding of the sunshade assembly 120, enabling the sunshade assembly 120 to unfold or fold. It should be noted that the structure of the drive assembly and the principle by which it unfolds and folds the sunshade assembly 120 are not the focus of this application, and existing technology can be used. This application mainly describes the specific structure of the overlapping assembly 130 and its cooperation with the sunshade assembly 120.
[0078] See Figures 1 to 8 In one embodiment, the dimension of the overlapping component 130 along the width direction is equal to the dimension of the sunshade component 120 along the width direction. In this way, when the overlapping component 130 overlaps with the adjacent sunshade component 120, it can effectively block the gap between the two adjacent sunshade components 120, avoiding light leakage at the edge of the gap due to inadequate blocking.
[0079] See Figures 1 to 8 In one embodiment, the sunshade assembly 120 includes a sunshade body 121 and a slider 122. The slider 122 is connected to the end of the sunshade body 121 along the width direction of the sliding guide rail 110 and is slidably connected to the sliding guide rail 110. The sunshade body 121 is the main body plate of the sunshade assembly 120, and the slider 122 is a component that slides between the sunshade assembly 120 and the sliding guide rail 110.
[0080] The sunshade body 121 is connected to the slider 122 and is slidably mounted in the sliding guide rail 110 via the slider 122. Furthermore, each sunshade assembly 120 includes two sliders 122, which are positioned opposite each other at both ends of the sunshade body 121 along its width direction, allowing the two ends of the sunshade body 121 to be slidably mounted in the sliding guide rail 110 via the sliders 122. In this way, the sunshade assembly 120 can be unfolded or folded along the sliding guide rail 110 via the sliders 122, ensuring the smooth movement of the sunshade assembly 120 along the sliding guide rail 110.
[0081] It should be noted that the sliding guide rail 110, the sunshade body 121, and the slider 122 can use existing components, and the specific structure and working principle of the three will not be described in detail in this application.
[0082] See Figures 1 to 8 In one embodiment, the overlapping component 130 includes a fixed base 131, which is fixed to the overlapping edge 123 of one of the sunshade components 120 and protrudes from the overlapping edge 123 along the length direction of the sliding guide rail 110. The fixed base 131 can connect to or disconnect from the overlapping edges 123 of adjacent sunshade components 120 when the multiple sunshade components 120 are unfolded or folded.
[0083] The sunshade assembly 120 has an overlap edge 123 on one side along its length. That is, the sunshade body 121 has an overlap edge 123 on one side along its length. The dimension of the overlap edge 123 in the height direction is smaller than the dimension of the rest of the sunshade body 121. This overlap edge 123 facilitates the installation of the overlap assembly 130, thereby reducing the height of the overlap assembly 130 installed at one edge of the sunshade assembly 120.
[0084] Specifically, the fixing base 131 is installed on the overlapping edge 123 of one of the sunshade components 120 and protrudes along the length of the side of the overlapping edge 123. After at least two sunshade components 120 are unfolded, the portion of the fixing base 131 protruding along the length of the overlapping edge 123 of the corresponding sunshade component 120 can overlap the overlapping edge 123 of the adjacent sunshade component 120. That is, the fixing base 131 spans across the overlapping edges 123 of two adjacent sunshade components 120 along the length of the opposite side.
[0085] In this way, when multiple sunshade components 120 are deployed, the fixing base 131 can overlap the overlapping edges 123 of two adjacent sunshade components 120 to block the gap between the two adjacent sunshade components 120, preventing the gap between the two adjacent sunshade components 120 from connecting to the vehicle window glass. Thus, ambient light will not enter the interior of the vehicle through the gap, ensuring the aesthetics of the sunshade structure 100 and improving the comfort of the user.
[0086] See Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 In one embodiment, the overlapping assembly 130 further includes a light-emitting element 132 and a light-guiding element 133. The light-emitting element 132 is disposed on the side of the fixed base 131 facing away from the window glass, and the light-guiding element 133 is disposed on the fixed base 131 and on the side of the light-emitting element 132 facing away from the window glass. The light-guiding element 133 at least covers the gap when two adjacent sunshade assemblies 120 are unfolded. The light-emitting element 132 is the component in the overlapping assembly 130 that emits light, and the light-guiding element 133 is the component in the overlapping assembly 130 that guides the light.
[0087] When at least two sunshade assemblies 120 are deployed, a fixing base 131 is connected to the overlapping edge 123 of one of the sunshade assemblies 120. A light-emitting element 132 is disposed on the surface of the fixing base 131 facing the gap between the two adjacent sunshade assemblies 120, and a light-guiding element 133 is disposed on the surface of the light-emitting element 132 facing away from the fixing base 131 and is connected to the fixing base 131. The fixing base 131 blocks the gap between the two adjacent sunshade assemblies 120 when deployed, preventing light leakage and improving the user's driving comfort.
[0088] Furthermore, this application integrates a light-emitting element 132 on the surface of the fixed base 131 facing the inside of the vehicle. When the light-emitting element 132 is powered on, it can emit light, which can then enter the inside of the vehicle through the gap between two adjacent sunshade assemblies 120 when unfolded. This allows the sunshade assembly 120 to have an illumination function in addition to its basic sunshade function, thereby increasing the brightness inside the vehicle and meeting the user's lighting needs for the inside of the vehicle.
[0089] Meanwhile, this application utilizes the light guide element 133 to refract and scatter the light emitted by the light-emitting element 132, forming a uniform and soft surface light source or line light source. In this way, the light guide element 133 can guide the light emitted by the light-emitting element 132 to create an ambient lighting environment inside the vehicle, especially at night or in dim environments, to alleviate user eye fatigue and improve user comfort. Optionally, the light guide element 133 can cover the light-emitting element 132 to ensure the light guiding effect of the light guide element 133.
[0090] Furthermore, the fixing base 131 and the light guide element 133 can cover the outside of the light-emitting element 132 to form the outer shell of the light-emitting element 132. The fixing base 131 and the light guide element 133 protect the light-emitting element 132 and prevent dust, moisture and other substances from entering the inside of the fixing base 131 and the light guide element 133, so as to play the role of waterproofing, dustproofing and leakage prevention, and ensure the performance of the light-emitting element 132.
[0091] Furthermore, the light guide element 133 at least covers the gap between two adjacent sunshade assemblies 120 when deployed. That is, after at least two light-emitting elements 132 are deployed, the light guide element 133 spans the gap between two adjacent sunshade assemblies 120 along its length and abuts against the overlapping edge 123 between the two adjacent sunshade assemblies 120. In this way, the light guide element 133 enables light to enter the interior of the vehicle through the gap between two adjacent sunshade assemblies 120, avoiding uneven light guiding due to the light guide element 133 not being able to cover the gap between the sunshade assemblies 120.
[0092] This application utilizes a fixed base 131 to integrate a light-emitting element 132 and a light-guiding element 133, so that the overlapping assembly 130 can block the gap between two adjacent sunshade assemblies 120 when unfolded, and can also play a lighting role to create an ambient lighting environment, thus taking into account both light blocking and lighting functions. At the same time, the installation of the light-emitting element 132 can be achieved without adding extra parts to the sunshade assembly 120, reducing the complexity of the structure.
[0093] See Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figures 7 to 9In one embodiment, the light-emitting element 132 is an LED light strip, and includes a circuit board 1321 and a plurality of LED beads 1322 spaced apart on the circuit board 1321, the LED beads 1322 being electrically connected to the circuit board 1321. Figure 9 for Figure 8 The diagram shows the interaction between the light-emitting element 132 and the slider 122. This application utilizes an LED light strip as the light-emitting element 132 for illumination.
[0094] Circuit board 1321 serves as the control substrate for the LED light strip. Optionally, circuit board 1321 is a flexible circuit board. LED beads 1322 are components that emit light, which are the light-emitting elements 132. LED beads 1322 are disposed on circuit board 1321 and electrically connected to circuit board 1321. After circuit board 1321 is powered on, circuit board 1321 can control the LED beads 1322 to light up or turn off. Circuit board 1321 can also adjust the brightness of LED beads 1322 so that the light-emitting element 132 provides illumination at different brightness levels to meet different user needs.
[0095] Furthermore, multiple LED beads 1322 are spaced apart along the width direction on the circuit board 1321. The distance between any two adjacent LED beads 1322 can be equal or unequal, as long as the LED beads 1322 can provide illumination. Thus, this application uses LED light strips as light-emitting elements 132 to provide illumination, which can meet the lighting requirements while reducing the cost of the light-emitting elements 132.
[0096] Of course, in other embodiments, the light-emitting element 132 is a light-emitting optical fiber. That is, light emitted by the light source can be conducted to the desired location using light transmission. This application only uses an LED light strip as an example to illustrate the light-emitting element 132.
[0097] See Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figures 7 to 10 In one embodiment, along the length of the sliding guide rail 110, the distance L1 between the central axis of the light-emitting element 132 and the side of the overlapping edge 123 ranges from 3mm to 15mm, and the distance L2 between the light-emitting element 132 and the light guide element 133 ranges from 1mm to 10mm. Figure 10 for Figure 6 The diagram shows the interaction between the sunshade assembly 120 and the overlapping assembly 130. It is understandable that if the LED beads 1322 in the light-emitting element 132 are directly illuminated, it will produce a grainy effect, affecting the user's driving comfort.
[0098] Therefore, this application offsets the LED bulb 1322 relative to the gap between two adjacent sunshade assemblies 120, so that the LED bulb 1322 emits light in an offset manner, avoiding direct visual contact with the LED bulb 1322 and improving user comfort. Furthermore, by emitting light in an offset manner, the LED bulb 1322 also makes the light emitted by the light-emitting element 132 more balanced and harmonious, creating a better ambient lighting environment.
[0099] Specifically, in Figure 9 In the process, there is a certain distance L1 between the central axis of the LED bead 1322 and the side of the overlapping edge 123 of the mounting assembly 130 along the length direction, wherein L1 ranges from 3mm to 15mm. In addition, there is a certain distance L2 between the lower surface of the LED bead 1322 and the upper surface of the light guide element 133, wherein L2 ranges from 1mm to 10mm.
[0100] Thus, when the dimensions of the LED bead 1322, the overlapping edge 123, and the light guide element 133 are within the aforementioned range, the LED bead 1322 can emit light in a biased manner, ensuring the luminous effect of the light-emitting element 132. Furthermore, the light emitted by the LED bead 1322 is as follows... Figure 9 As shown by the solid arrow, the light emitted by the LED bead 1322 enters the light guide element 133 in a vertical direction, and is guided by the light guide element 133 to enter the inside of the vehicle through the gap.
[0101] For example, the distance L1 between the central axis of the LED bead 1322 and the side of the overlapping edge 123 of the mounting assembly 130 along the length direction is 3mm, 6mm, 9mm, 12mm or 15mm. Of course, in other embodiments, the distance L1 between the central axis of the LED bead 1322 and the side of the overlapping edge 123 of the mounting assembly 130 along the length direction may be other.
[0102] For example, the distance L2 between the lower surface of the LED bead 1322 and the upper surface of the light guide element 133 is 1 mm, 4 mm, 7 mm, or 10 mm. Of course, in other embodiments, the distance L2 between the lower surface of the LED bead 1322 and the upper surface of the light guide element 133 may be other values.
[0103] See Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8In one embodiment, the fixing base 131 includes a mounting body 1312 and a fixing body 1311. The mounting body 1312 is provided with a mounting groove 1313, and the light-emitting element 132 is disposed in the mounting groove 1313. The fixing body 1311 is disposed on the side of the mounting body 1312 and connected to the overlapping edge 123. The light guide element 133 is disposed on the mounting body 1312 and covers the mounting groove 1313. The mounting body 1312 is the component of the fixing base 131 for mounting the light-emitting element 132, and the fixing body 1311 is the component for fixing the fixing base 131 to the sunshade assembly 120.
[0104] A fixing body 1311 is disposed on the side of the mounting body 1312. The fixing body 1311 is fixedly connected to the overlapping edge 123 of the sunshade assembly 120 to fix the fixing base 131 to the sunshade assembly 120, thereby installing the entire overlapping assembly 130 onto the sunshade assembly 120. The mounting body 1312 has a recessed mounting groove 1313 on its surface facing the overlapping edge 123, and the light-emitting element 132 is installed in the mounting groove 1313. In this way, the light-emitting element 132 is accommodated by the mounting groove 1313 to facilitate the installation of the light-emitting element 132.
[0105] Furthermore, after the light-emitting element 132 is installed in the mounting groove 1313, it can share the space in the height direction with the fixed base 131, thereby reducing the overall height of the overlapping assembly 130 and avoiding affecting the folding of the two adjacent sunshade assemblies 120. Simultaneously, the sidewall of the mounting groove 1313 can act as a light blocker, allowing the light emitted by the light-emitting element 132 to be directed towards the light guide element 133, improving light utilization. Optionally, the light-emitting element 132 is fixed in the mounting groove 1313 by means of adhesive or other methods.
[0106] Furthermore, the light guide element 133 is at least partially disposed within the mounting groove 1313. This allows the light guide element 133 to cover the opening of the mounting groove 1313 within the mounting body 1312, enabling it to share space in the height direction with the fixed base 131. This reduces the overall height of the overlapping assembly 130 and avoids affecting the folding of adjacent sunshade assemblies 120. Simultaneously, the placement of the light-emitting element 132 and the light guide element 133 within the mounting groove 1313 also allows for control of the distance between them along the height direction, ensuring effective light guiding.
[0107] In one embodiment, the fixing body 1311 and the mounting body 1312 are an integral structure. That is, the fixing body 1311 and the mounting body 1312 are integrally molded. This ensures the structural strength of the connection between the fixing body 1311 and the mounting body 1312, prevents breakage at the connection, and also reduces the number of parts and simplifies the assembly process. Optionally, the fixing body 1311 is fixed to the sunshade assembly 120 by threaded parts.
[0108] See Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 In one embodiment, the light guide element 133 includes a light guide body 1331 and a limiting protrusion 1332. The light guide body 1331 is disposed on the fixed base 131 and covers the light-emitting element 132. The limiting protrusion 1332 is located on the side of the light guide body 1331 away from the light-emitting element 132 and abuts against the side of the overlapping edge 123. The light guide body 1331 is the main part of the light guide element 133 that realizes light guiding, and the limiting protrusion 1332 is the part of the light guide element 133 that realizes limiting.
[0109] The light guide body 1331 is disposed in the mounting groove 1313. The light guide body 1331 can span the gap between two adjacent sunshade assemblies 120 along the length direction. The light emitted by the light-emitting element 132 passes through the light guide body 1331 and enters the interior of the vehicle through the gap between the two adjacent sunshade assemblies 120. The limiting protrusion 1332 is located on the side of the light guide body 1331 opposite to the light-emitting element 132. The limiting protrusion 1332 can abut against the edge of the overlapping edge 123.
[0110] In this way, the limiting protrusion 1332 can be locked in the gap between two adjacent sunshade assemblies 120 to play a limiting role, so that there is a certain gap between the two adjacent sunshade assemblies 120 and no interference occurs, providing working space for the light-emitting element 132 and the light guide element 133, so that the light emitted by the light-emitting element 132 can enter the inside of the vehicle through the light guide element 133.
[0111] In one embodiment, the light guide body 1331 and the limiting protrusion 1332 are an integral structure. That is, the light guide body 1331 and the limiting protrusion 1332 are integrally molded. This ensures the structural strength of the connection between the light guide body 1331 and the limiting protrusion 1332, prevents breakage at the connection, and also reduces the number of parts and simplifies the assembly process. Optionally, the light guide element 133 is a light guide cover.
[0112] See Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8In one embodiment, the slider 122 has a first pressing slope 1221 and a second pressing slope 1222 at its two ends, respectively. The sliders 122 in two adjacent sunshade assemblies 120 slide in contact with the first pressing slope 1221 and the second pressing slope 1222. The fixed base 131 has a first moving slope 1314 at one end away from the window glass and close to the adjacent sunshade assembly 120, and the sunshade body 121 has a second moving slope 1211 opposite to the first moving slope 1314. The inclination angle β of the first moving slope 1314 and the second moving slope 1211 is less than or equal to the inclination angle θ of the first pressing slope 1221, and the inclination angle range of the first moving slope 1314 and the second moving slope 1211 is 30°~45°.
[0113] In this application, the inclination angle θ of the first extrusion inclined surface 1221 refers to the angle between the first extrusion inclined surface 1221 and the horizontal plane, such as... Figure 8 As shown, the rest are similar, and, in Figure 8 The diagram only illustrates the inclination angle θ of the first extrusion slope 1221. In this embodiment, the first extrusion slope 1221 and the second extrusion slope 1222 have the same inclination angle θ, but their inclination directions are opposite, so that the first extrusion slope 1221 and the second extrusion slope 1222 can slide together to ensure the guiding effect. Of course, in other embodiments, the inclination angles of the first extrusion slope 1221 and the second extrusion slope 1222 can be different, as long as the first extrusion slope 1221 and the second extrusion slope 1222 can slide together.
[0114] exist Figure 7 and Figure 8 In the middle, the overlapping component 130 is fixed to the right-side sunshade component 120. When at least two sunshade components 120 are folded, the left-side sunshade component 120 moves along... Figure 8 The movement gradually moves in the direction shown to the bottom of the right-side sunshade assembly 120, so that the two adjacent sunshade assemblies 120 fold. Furthermore, in order to facilitate the folding of the sunshade assembly 120, this application provides a first extrusion slope 1221 and a second extrusion slope 1222 at both ends of the slider 122, respectively.
[0115] When at least two sunshade assemblies 120 are deployed, the first pressing slope 1221 at one end of the slider 122 in one sunshade assembly 120 is opposite to the second pressing slope 1222 at the end of the slider 122 in an adjacent sunshade assembly 120, and the second pressing slope 1222 at the other end of the slider 122 in one sunshade assembly 120 is opposite to the first pressing slope 1221 at the end of the slider 122 in another adjacent sunshade assembly 120.
[0116] When two adjacent sunshade assemblies 120 are folded, the drive assembly can drive the slider 122 to move the sunshade assembly 120, so that the two adjacent sunshade assemblies 120 are folded by sliding the first pressing slope 1221 and the second pressing slope 1222. Specifically, the second pressing slope 1222 at the end of the left slider 122 can slide downward along the first pressing slope 1221 at the end of the right slider 122, so that the left sunshade assembly 120 gradually moves to below the right sunshade assembly 120.
[0117] In this way, the sliders 122 in two adjacent sunshade assemblies 120 are folded through the cooperation of the first pressing inclined surface 1221 and the second pressing inclined surface 1222. The first pressing inclined surface 1221 and the second pressing inclined surface 1222 can play a guiding role, which facilitates the folding of adjacent sunshade assemblies 120. When two adjacent sunshade assemblies 120 are folded, the fixed base 131 and the overlapping edge 123 of the adjacent sunshade assembly 120 will also move. In this application, a first moving inclined surface 1314 is provided on one side of the overlapping edge 123 of the fixed base 131 and the adjacent sunshade assembly 120, and a second moving inclined surface 1211 is provided at the end of the sunshade body 121 of the sunshade assembly 120 facing the fixed base 131. The first moving inclined surface 1314 corresponds to the second moving inclined surface 1211.
[0118] Furthermore, the first pressing inclined surface 1221 and the first moving inclined surface 1314 have the same inclination direction, and the second pressing inclined surface 1222 and the second moving inclined surface 1211 have the same inclination direction. When two adjacent sunshade assemblies 120 are folded, the sliders 122 in the two adjacent sunshade assemblies 120 slide through the cooperation of the first pressing inclined surface 1221 and the second pressing inclined surface 1222. At the same time, the fixed base 131 is raised and moves closer to the adjacent sunshade assembly 120. At this time, the fixed base 131 can abut against the second moving inclined surface 1211 of the adjacent sunshade assembly 120 through the first moving inclined surface 1314.
[0119] Thus, when two adjacent sunshade assemblies 120 continue to move and drive the fixed base 131 to move, the fixed base 131 can move along the second motion inclined plane 1211 through the first motion inclined plane 1314, so that the second motion inclined plane 1211 guides the movement of the fixed base 131 through the first motion inclined plane 1314, avoiding interference between the fixed base 131 and the adjacent sunshade assemblies 120, and ensuring the stability of the folding process of the two adjacent sunshade assemblies 120.
[0120] Furthermore, the inclination angle β of the first moving inclined surface 1314 and the second moving inclined surface 1211 is less than or equal to the inclination angle θ of the first pressing inclined surface 1221. In this way, the second moving inclined surface 1211 can guide the movement of the fixed base 131 through the first moving inclined surface 1314, avoiding interference between the fixed base 131 and the adjacent sunshade assembly 120, and ensuring the smoothness of the folding process of the two adjacent sunshade assemblies 120.
[0121] In this embodiment, the inclination angle β of the first moving inclined surface 1314 is equal to the inclination angle θ of the first extrusion inclined surface 1221. Of course, in other embodiments, the inclination angle β of the first moving inclined surface 1314 may also be less than the inclination angle θ of the first extrusion inclined surface 1221. Exemplarily, the inclination angle β of the first moving inclined surface 1314 and the second moving inclined surface 1211 ranges from 30° to 45°. Optionally, the inclination angle β of the first moving inclined surface 1314 and the second moving inclined surface 1211 is the same. Exemplarily, the inclination angle β of the first moving inclined surface 1314 is 30°, 35°, 40°, or 45°; of course, in other embodiments, the inclination angle β of the first moving inclined surface 1314 may also be other values.
[0122] See Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figures 11 to 13 In one embodiment of this application, the sunshade structure 100 further includes a plurality of solar panels 140. The solar panels 140 are disposed on the side of the corresponding sunshade assembly 120 facing the vehicle window glass. The solar panels 140 are electrically connected to the light-emitting element 132 and are used to supply power to at least the light-emitting element 132. Figure 11 for Figure 1 A partially exploded view of the solar panel 140 and the sunshade panel 120 in the sunshade structure 100 shown. Figure 12 for Figure 11 The image shown is a partial enlarged view of the solar panel 140 and the sunshade panel 120 in conjunction at point D. Figure 13 for Figure 1 A partially enlarged view of the solar panel 140 and the sunshade panel 120 in the sunshade structure 100 shown.
[0123] The solar panel 140 absorbs sunlight and converts it into electrical energy. With at least two sunshade assemblies 120 deployed, the solar panel 140 is positioned on the side of the sunshade assembly 120 facing the vehicle window. At this time, the solar panel 140 can be directed towards the external environment through the vehicle window. Sunlight from the external environment can shine through the vehicle window onto the solar panel 140, enabling the solar panel 140 to output and store electrical energy through photoelectric conversion.
[0124] The solar panel 140 is electrically connected to the light-emitting element 132. The solar panel 140 can supply power to the light-emitting element 132, thereby providing electrical energy to the solar panel 140 so that the light-emitting element 132 can emit light using the electrical energy provided by the solar panel 140. In this way, the light-emitting element 132 can use the electrical energy output by the solar panel 140 for illumination, reducing the light-emitting element 132's consumption of the vehicle's own electrical energy and improving energy efficiency.
[0125] In this way, the operation of the light-emitting element 132 will not consume the vehicle's battery power, effectively reducing the vehicle's electrostatic current and energy consumption. Furthermore, the solar panel 140 consumes some solar radiation energy during the process of converting light energy into electrical energy, reducing the amount of radiation directly converted into heat energy, effectively reducing the surface temperature of the inner side of the window glass and the sunshade assembly 120, and improving the heat insulation effect.
[0126] Furthermore, the light-emitting element 132 is electrically connected to the solar panel 140, which is arranged on the sunshade assembly 120. The light-emitting element 132 and the solar panel 140 are close to each other, and they can be electrically connected through a short wire harness, eliminating the need for complex long wire harness connections. This reduces the wear and tear and the probability of failure of the wire harness, ensuring the reliability of the electrical connection between the light-emitting element 132 and the solar panel 140.
[0127] Meanwhile, the solar panel 140 is arranged on the side of the sunshade assembly 120 facing the window glass. The solar panel 140 does not occupy the space inside the vehicle, but utilizes the space between the sunshade assembly 120 and the window glass. This avoids interference between the solar panel 140 and the window glass, does not affect the structural strength of the sunshade assembly 120, and improves the utilization rate of the vehicle's interior space.
[0128] Furthermore, in addition to supplying power to the light-emitting element 132, the solar panel 140 can also store the corresponding electrical energy in the vehicle's energy storage battery. Of course, in another embodiment of this application, the light-emitting element 132 can be directly connected to the vehicle's power supply, and the vehicle's power supply can supply power to the light-emitting element 132. In this case, the light-emitting element 132 can be electrically connected to the power supply terminal of the drive assembly of the sunshade structure 100, thereby supplying power to the light-emitting element 132.
[0129] See Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figures 11 to 13In one embodiment, each solar panel 140 corresponds to one light-emitting element 132. That is, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the solar panel 140 and the light-emitting element 132, and they are disposed on the surface of the corresponding sunshade assembly 120. In this way, each solar panel 140 can supply power to its corresponding light-emitting element 132, and the solar panels 140 will not interfere with each other when two adjacent sunshade assemblies 120 are unfolded or folded, ensuring smooth unfolding and folding. Of course, in other embodiments, one solar panel 140 may also be at least two light-emitting elements 132.
[0130] See Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figures 11 to 13 In one embodiment, the solar panel 140 is partially disposed on the sunshade body 121 and partially disposed on the slider 122. This increases the number of installation positions for the solar panel 140 and improves the rationality of the solar panel 140 layout.
[0131] See Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figures 11 to 13 In one embodiment, the solar panel 140 includes a solar panel 141, an energy storage element 142 disposed on a slider 122, and a controller 143. The solar panel 141 is at least partially disposed on the surface of the sunshade body 121 facing the vehicle window glass. The solar panel 141 is electrically connected to the energy storage element 142 for storing the generated electrical energy in the energy storage element 142. The controller 143 is electrically connected to the energy storage element 142 and the light-emitting element 132 for controlling the energy storage element 142 to supply power to the light-emitting element 132.
[0132] The solar panel 141 is the main component for photoelectric conversion, the energy storage element 142 is the component of the solar module 140 that stores electrical energy, and the controller 143 is the component of the solar module 140 that outputs electrical energy. Furthermore, the controller 143 can also control the light emission of the light-emitting element 132. The solar panel 141 is electrically connected to the energy storage element 142, one end of the controller 143 is electrically connected to the energy storage element 142, and the other end is electrically connected to the light-emitting element 132.
[0133] The solar panel 141 is disposed on the surface of the sunshade body 121 facing the vehicle window glass. When at least two sunshade assemblies 120 are unfolded, the solar panel 141 covers the upper surface of the sunshade body 121 to ensure a certain light-receiving area of the solar panel 141 so that the solar panel 141 can fully absorb sunlight and convert solar energy into electrical energy, which is then stored in the energy storage element 142.
[0134] The energy storage element 142 and the controller 143 are integrated into the slider 122. Because the energy storage element 142 and the controller 143 are relatively heavy, the drooping of the sunshade body 121 caused by the integration of the energy storage element 142 and the controller 143 into the sunshade body 121 can be avoided. This allows at least two sunshade assemblies 120 to be smoothly unfolded or folded, improving the long-term smoothness of mechanical operation. Furthermore, the integrated design of the energy storage element 142 and the controller 143 makes full use of the space of the slider 122, improving space utilization.
[0135] Meanwhile, integrating the energy storage element 142 and controller 143 into the slider 122 avoids placing them on the sunshade body 121, thus preventing them from occupying space on the solar panel 141. This ensures the solar panel 141 has a certain light-receiving area, preventing a reduction in its photoelectric conversion efficiency and guaranteeing its performance. Furthermore, in Figure 1 and Figure 3 When at least two sunshade components 120 are fully deployed, the solar panel 141 has the largest deployed area to increase the power of the incident sunlight.
[0136] When sunlight enters the solar panel 141, the solar panel 141 converts solar energy into light energy and transmits it to the energy storage element 142, where electrical energy is stored. When the light-emitting element 132 is working, the energy storage element 142 transmits electrical energy to the controller 143, which in turn supplies power to the light-emitting element 132, enabling it to emit light and meet the user's lighting needs.
[0137] By adopting the above layout, the electrical distance between the solar panel 141, energy storage element 142, controller 143, and light-emitting element 132 can be shortened, reducing the length of the wiring harness and lowering the probability of wear and tangling, thus ensuring the performance of the solar module 140. Simultaneously, the energy storage element 142 can store the electrical energy output from the solar panel 141, allowing the light-emitting element 132 to be used at any time, regardless of whether the solar panel 141 is in operation.
[0138] See Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figures 11 to 13In one embodiment, the sunshade body 121 has a receiving groove (not shown) on the side facing the vehicle window glass, which receives at least a portion of the solar panel 141. The solar panel 141 is disposed in the receiving groove of the sunshade body 121 so that the solar panel 141 and the sunshade body 121 share the space in the height direction, thereby reducing the height dimension of the sunshade assembly 120 and the solar assembly 140 after integration, and avoiding affecting the folding of two adjacent sunshade assemblies 120.
[0139] In one embodiment, the controller 143 includes a control module (not shown), which is used to adjust at least one of the light emission color, brightness, and light emission effect of the light-emitting element 132. Optionally, the control module is a wireless module or a Bluetooth module. By adjusting the light emission color, brightness, and light emission effect of the light-emitting element 132 through the control module, the user's needs in different scenarios can be met.
[0140] See Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figures 11 to 13 In one embodiment, the controller 143 and the energy storage element 142 do not protrude from the surface of the slider 122 along its thickness direction. After the controller 143 and the energy storage element 142 are integrated into the slider 122, they do not protrude from the upper or lower surfaces of the slider 122. This avoids interference between adjacent sunshade assemblies 120 during unfolding or folding, ensuring smooth unfolding and folding operations.
[0141] See Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figures 11 to 13 In one embodiment, the surface of the slider 122 facing the window glass is provided with a first receiving groove (not shown), and the controller 143 and the energy storage element 142 are disposed in the first receiving groove. The first receiving groove is disposed on the upper surface of the slider 122. After the controller 143 and the energy storage element 142 are disposed in the first receiving groove, the tops of the controller 143 and the energy storage element 142 do not protrude from the upper surface of the slider 122. In this way, interference can be avoided during the unfolding or folding of two adjacent sunshade assemblies 120, ensuring the smoothness of the unfolding and folding actions.
[0142] Of course, in other embodiments, the controller 143 and the energy storage element 142 are disposed within the inner cavity of the slider 122. That is, the slider 122 is a hollow structure, and the controller 143 and the energy storage element 142 are installed in the hollow inner cavity of the slider 122 to prevent the tops of the controller 143 and the energy storage element 142 from protruding from the upper surface of the slider 122. In this way, interference can be avoided during the unfolding or folding of two adjacent sunshade assemblies 120, ensuring the smoothness of the unfolding and folding actions.
[0143] See Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figures 11 to 13 In one embodiment, the controller 143 is fixed to the slider 122 by a first fastener 144 and / or a first adhesive. In this embodiment, the controller 143 is fixed to the slider 122 by the first fastener 144 to ensure the reliability of the controller 143 being fixed to the slider 122 and to prevent the position of the controller 143 from shifting.
[0144] Optionally, the first fastener 144 is a countersunk screw or other threaded part. Of course, in other embodiments, the controller 143 can also be fixed to the slider 122 by means of the first adhesive, or by means of other components such as snap-fit, as long as the reliability of the fixation between the controller 143 and the slider 122 is ensured.
[0145] See Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figures 11 to 13 In one embodiment, the energy storage element 142 is fixed to the slider 122 by a second fastener 145 and / or a second adhesive. In this embodiment, the energy storage element 142 is fixed to the slider 122 by the second fastener 145 to ensure the reliability of the fixation of the energy storage element 142 to the slider 122 and to prevent the position of the energy storage element 142 from shifting.
[0146] Optionally, the second fastener 145 is a countersunk screw or other threaded part. Of course, in other embodiments, the energy storage element 142 can also be fixed to the slider 122 by means of a second adhesive, or by means of other components such as snap-fit, as long as the reliability of the fixation between the energy storage element 142 and the slider 122 is ensured.
[0147] See Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figures 11 to 13In one embodiment, the energy storage element 142 is configured to be connected to the vehicle's control system. In this way, the energy storage element 142 can feed back charging information, such as the amount of electricity stored within it, to the vehicle's control system, which can then be displayed on the vehicle's central control screen so that the user can be aware of the relevant information about the energy storage element 142.
[0148] See Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figures 11 to 13 In one embodiment, the solar panel 140 further includes a connecting cable 146 and a connecting harness 147. The connecting cable 146 electrically connects the energy storage element 142 and the controller 143, and the connecting harness 147 electrically connects the controller 143 and the light-emitting element 132. The connecting cable 146 is the component that enables the electrical connection between the energy storage element 142 and the controller 143, and the energy storage element 142 supplies power to the controller 143 through the connecting cable 146.
[0149] The connecting harness 147 is a component that electrically connects the controller 143 to the light-emitting element 132. The controller 143 supplies power to the light-emitting element 132 through the connecting harness 147 and controls the light-emitting element 132 through the connecting harness 147. In addition, the solar panel 141 is electrically connected to the energy storage element 142 through the positive electrode harness (not shown), the negative electrode harness (not shown), and the negative electrode harness (not shown).
[0150] See Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figures 11 to 13 In one embodiment, the surface of the slider 122 facing the window glass is provided with a second receiving groove (not shown), and the connecting cable 146 and the connecting harness 147 are disposed in the second receiving groove. The second receiving groove is located on the upper surface of the slider 122. After the connecting cable 146 and the connecting harness 147 are disposed in the second receiving groove, the top of the connecting cable 146 and the connecting harness 147 does not protrude from the upper surface of the slider 122. In this way, interference can be avoided during the unfolding or folding of two adjacent sunshade assemblies 120, ensuring the smoothness of the unfolding and folding actions.
[0151] Of course, in other embodiments, the connecting cable 146 and the connecting harness 147 are disposed within the inner cavity of the slider 122. That is, the slider 122 is a hollow structure, and the connecting cable 146 and the connecting harness 147 are installed within the hollow inner cavity of the slider 122 to prevent the tops of the connecting cable 146 and the connecting harness 147 from protruding from the upper surface of the slider 122. In this way, interference can be avoided during the unfolding or folding of two adjacent sunshade assemblies 120, ensuring the smoothness of the unfolding and folding actions.
[0152] See Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figures 11 to 13 In one embodiment, the connecting cable 146 and the connecting harness 147 are fixed to the slider 122 by a third adhesive (not shown). That is, the connecting cable 146 and the connecting harness 147 are glued and fixed to the slider 122 by the third adhesive to ensure the reliability of the connecting cable 146 and the connecting harness 147 being fixed to the slider 122 and to prevent the position of the connecting cable 146 and the connecting harness 147 from shifting.
[0153] See Figure 11 and Figure 12 In one embodiment, the sunshade body 121 has a first insertion portion 1212 at its end along the width direction of the sliding guide rail 110, and the slider 122 has a second insertion portion 1223 at its end facing the sunshade body 121. The first insertion portion 1212 and the second insertion portion 1223 are inserted and connected, and the sunshade body 121 is fixed to the slider 122. The first insertion portion 1212 is located at the end of the sunshade body 121 along the width direction, and the second insertion portion 1223 is located on the side of the slider 122 facing the sunshade body 121.
[0154] When assembling the sunshade body 121 and the slider 122, the first insertion part 1212 and the second insertion part 1223 are connected to ensure a reliable connection between the sunshade body 121 and the slider 122. In this embodiment, the first insertion part 1212 is an insertion protrusion, and the second insertion part 1223 is an insertion groove, allowing the insertion protrusion to be inserted into the insertion groove. Of course, in other embodiments, the first insertion part 1212 may be an insertion groove, and the second insertion part 1223 may be an insertion protrusion.
[0155] Furthermore, there are multiple first plug-in portions 1212 and second plug-in portions 1223, with the multiple first plug-in portions 1212 spaced apart along the length direction, and each first plug-in portion 1212 engaging with one second plug-in portion 1223. Moreover, the multiple first plug-in portions 1212 avoid interference with the controller 143 and the energy storage element 142, facilitating the connection between the sunshade body 121 and the slider 122.
[0156] The sunshade structure 100, glass assembly, and vehicle of this application utilize an overlapping component 130 to cover the gap between two adjacent sunshade components 120. After multiple sunshade components 120 are sequentially unfolded along the sliding guide rail 110, an overlapping component 130 is provided between two adjacent sunshade components 120 to prevent light leakage due to gaps, ensuring the aesthetics of the sunshade structure 100 and improving user comfort. Furthermore, the overlapping component 130 is positioned on the side of the two adjacent sunshade components 120 furthest from the window glass when folded, preventing interference between the overlapping component 130 and adjacent sunshade components 120, allowing for smooth folding of multiple sunshade components 120, and ensuring the stability of the unfolding and folding of multiple sunshade components 120.
[0157] Furthermore, a light-emitting element 132 is provided in the overlapping component 130 so that while the overlapping component 130 blocks the gap between two adjacent sunshade components 120 when the sunshade is unfolded, it can also provide illumination, thereby enriching the functionality of the sunshade structure 100, improving the aesthetics of the sunshade component 120, and enhancing the comfort of the user. Simultaneously, a solar panel 140 is integrated into the sunshade component 120 to power the light-emitting element 132, reducing vehicle energy consumption and enhancing product competitiveness.
[0158] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0159] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
