The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0029] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 3 A roof folding mechanism 100 for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention is described, wherein the roof folding mechanism 100 is used to open or close a roof of the vehicle.

[0030] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the roof folding mechanism 100 according to the embodiment of the present utility model includes: a first link assembly 10 , a second link assembly 20 and a coupling assembly 30 .

[0031] The roof folding mechanism 100 includes: a first link assembly 10, the first link assembly 10 includes: a first link 1, a second link 2, and a third link 3, the first link 1 is rotatably connected to the third link 3 and the vehicle body, respectively, and the second link 2 is rotatably connected to the third link 3 and the vehicle body, respectively; a second link assembly 20, the second link assembly 20 is rotatably connected to the third link 3; a coupling assembly 30, the coupling assembly 30 is transmission-connected between the first link assembly 10 and the second link assembly 20, and the coupling assembly 30 and a portion of the first link assembly 10 and / or a portion of the second link assembly 20 form a multi-link structure.

[0032] The first connecting rod assembly 10 includes: a first connecting rod 1, a second connecting rod 2, and a third connecting rod 3. The first connecting rod 1 is rotatably connected to the third connecting rod 3 and the vehicle body, respectively. As some embodiments of the present application, Figure 1 As shown, the first link 1 has two opposite ends, one end of the first link 1 is rotatably connected to the vehicle body, and the other end is rotatably connected to the third link 3. The second link 2 is rotatably connected to the third link 3 and the vehicle body, respectively. As some embodiments of the present application, Figure 1 As shown, the second link 2 has two opposite ends, one end of which is rotatably connected to the vehicle body, and the other end is rotatably connected to the third link 3. As some embodiments of the present application, the connection mode between the first link 1 and the vehicle body and the connection mode between the second link 2 and the vehicle body are both hinged. The connection mode between the first link 1 and the third link 3 and the connection mode between the second link 2 and the third link 3 are both hinged.

[0033] For example, the connection mode between the first link 1 and the third link 3, and the connection mode between the second link 2 and the third link 3 are both shaft-hole matching connection. In this way, the first link 1, the second link 2, the third link 3 and the vehicle body can form a first four-link structure 41, so that the roof folding mechanism 100 can be flexibly folded, thereby increasing the transmission efficiency of the roof folding mechanism 100.

[0034] The second connecting rod assembly 20 is rotatably connected to the third connecting rod 3. It can be understood that since the second connecting rod assembly 20 is rotatably connected to the third connecting rod 3, the second connecting rod assembly 20 is rotatably connected to the first connecting rod assembly 10. The coupling assembly 30 is transmission-connected between the first connecting rod assembly 10 and the second connecting rod assembly 20, and the coupling assembly 30 and a part of the first connecting rod assembly 10 and / or a part of the second connecting rod assembly 20 form a multi-link structure, that is, the coupling assembly 30 is rotatably connected to the first connecting rod assembly 10, and the coupling assembly 30 is rotatably arranged with the second connecting rod assembly 20.

[0035] As some embodiments of the present application, the coupling assembly 30 can form a multi-link structure with part of the first link assembly 10. As some embodiments of the present application, the coupling assembly 30 can form a multi-link structure with part of the first link assembly 10 and part of the second link assembly 20. As some embodiments of the present application, the coupling assembly 30 can form a multi-link structure with part of the first link assembly 10, and the coupling assembly 30 can form a multi-link structure with part of the first link assembly 10 and part of the second link assembly 20.

[0036] Such an arrangement enables the roof folding mechanism 100 to include a plurality of multi-link structures, so that the roof folding mechanism 100 has a better mechanical transmission effect, and the roof folding mechanism 100 of this structural form has a simple structure, a small size, and does not occupy space.

[0037] In this article, the connection mode of each two rotatably connected connecting rods and the connection mode of the connecting rod and the vehicle body can be rotatably connected by a shaft hole. This article takes the first connecting rod 1 and the third connecting rod 3 as an example for description. The other connecting rod connection modes are the same as the connection mode of the first connecting rod 1 and the third connecting rod 3, and the connection mode of the connecting rod and the vehicle body is also the same as the connection mode of the first connecting rod 1 and the third connecting rod 3. This article will not repeat them. Among them, the first connecting rod 1 can have one of the pivot hole and the pivot shaft, and the third connecting rod 3 can have the other of the pivot hole and the pivot shaft. For example, the first connecting rod 1 can have a pivot hole and the third connecting rod 3 can have a pivot shaft, or the first connecting rod 1 can have a pivot shaft and the third connecting rod 3 can have a pivot hole. By making the pivot hole and the pivot shaft cooperate with each other, the first connecting rod 1 and the third connecting rod 3 can be rotatably connected. Or the first connecting rod 1 and the third connecting rod 3 both have pivot holes, and the two pivot holes are connected by a pivot shaft. For example, the first link 1 and the third link 3 both have pivot holes, and the pivot shaft is disposed between the pivot holes of the first link 1 and the third link 3. By making the pivot hole and the pivot shaft cooperate with each other, the first link 1 and the third link 3 can be reliably rotatably connected.

[0038] Therefore, by connecting the first link assembly 10, the second link assembly 20, and the coupling assembly 30 to form a multi-link mechanism, the structure of the roof folding mechanism 100 can be simplified and the size of the roof folding mechanism 100 can be reduced, so that the design of the roof folding mechanism 100 can be reasonable and the layout of the roof folding mechanism 100 can be facilitated.

This arrangement allows the third connecting rod 3, the fourth connecting rod 4, the fifth connecting rod 5, and the sixth connecting rod 6 to form a four-bar structure.

[0041] By making the second link assembly 20 and the third link 3 form a four-link mechanism, the transmission of the roof folding mechanism 100 can be smooth, and the roof folding mechanism 100 can be simple in structure and can be flexibly folded.

[0042] It can be understood that the first link 1, the second link 2, the third link 3 and the body can form a first four-bar structure 41, the third link 3, the fourth link 4, the fifth link 5, and the sixth link 6 can form a second four-bar structure 42, the coupling assembly 30 and a portion of the first link assembly 10 can form a third four-bar structure 43, and the coupling assembly 30 and a portion of the first link assembly 10 and a portion of the second link assembly 20 can form a fourth four-bar structure 44.

[0044] Among them, the first connecting rod 1 and the second connecting rod 2 are both rotatably connected to the third connecting rod 3, and the connection method can be a shaft-hole connection. As some embodiments of the present application, the first connecting portion 11 can be configured as a pivot hole, the first connecting rod 1 can have a pivot shaft, and the pivot shaft can be rotatably matched with the pivot hole, or the first connecting portion 11 can be configured as a pivot shaft, the first connecting rod 1 can have a pivot hole, and the pivot shaft can be rotatably matched with the pivot hole, or the first connecting portion 11 can be configured as a pivot hole, the first connecting rod 1 can have a pivot hole, and the pivot shaft is inserted through the first connecting portion 11 and the pivot hole of the first connecting rod 1. This arrangement allows the first connecting rod 1 to be rotatably connected to the third connecting rod 3.

Such an arrangement can make the second connecting rod 2 rotatably connected to the third connecting rod 3.

[0046] The third link 3 is rotatably connected to the second link assembly 20, and along the extension direction of the third link 3, the connection between the third link 3 and the second link assembly 20 has two opposite sides, and the first connection portion 11 and the second connection portion 12 are located on one side of the connection between the third link 3 and the second link assembly 20, that is, the first connection portion 11 and the second connection portion 12 are located on the same side of the connection between the second link assembly 20 and the third link 3.

[0047] Such an arrangement enables the first link 1 and the second link 2 to be reliably rotatably connected to the third link 3, and enables the connection to be reasonably positioned, thereby enabling the roof folding mechanism 100 to be reasonably designed, allowing the roof folding mechanism 100 to be flexibly folded, and allowing the roof folding mechanism 100 to be easily arranged.

[0050] Such an arrangement can make the structural form of the coupling component 30 reasonable, and can make the coupling component 30 and part of the first link component 10 form a third four-link structure 43, so that the design of the roof folding mechanism 100 can be reasonable, the roof folding mechanism 100 can be flexibly folded, and the roof folding mechanism 100 can be easy to arrange.

[0071] When the roof folding mechanism 100 needs to be moved from the stowed state to the unfolded state, the first link 1 can be driven by the driving motor, and the driving motor can apply a counterclockwise rotating torque to the first link 1, so that the first link 1 drives the second link 2 and the third link 3 to move counterclockwise, that is, drives the first link assembly 10 to move counterclockwise as a whole (or it can be said that the first four-link structure 41 moves counterclockwise), and the second link 2 rotates counterclockwise to drive the third link 3, the seventh link 7, and the eighth link 8 to move counterclockwise, that is, part of the coupling assembly 30 is driven by the first link assembly The eighth link 8 rotates counterclockwise to drive the third link 3, the fourth link 4, and the ninth link 9 to move counterclockwise (that is, the fourth four-bar structure 44 moves counterclockwise), and the fourth link 4 rotates counterclockwise to drive the third link 3, the fifth link 5, and the sixth link 6 to move counterclockwise. In other words, the second link assembly 20 moves counterclockwise as a whole (or the second four-bar structure 42 moves counterclockwise), thereby completing the unfolding process of the roof folding mechanism 100.

[0072] When the roof folding mechanism 100 needs to be moved from the unfolded state to the stowed state, the first link 1 can be driven by the driving motor, and the driving motor can apply a clockwise rotating torque to the first link 1, so that the first link 1 drives the second link 2 and the third link 3 to move clockwise, that is, drives the first link assembly 10 to move clockwise as a whole (or it can be said that the first four-link structure 41 moves clockwise), and the second link 2 rotates clockwise to drive the third link 3, the seventh link 7, and the eighth link 8 to move clockwise, that is, part of the coupling assembly 30 is driven by the first link assembly The eighth link 8 rotates clockwise to drive the third link 3, the fourth link 4, and the ninth link 9 to move clockwise (that is, the fourth four-bar structure 44 moves clockwise). The fourth link 4 rotates clockwise to drive the third link 3, the fifth link 5, and the sixth link 6 to move clockwise. That is to say, the second link assembly 20 moves clockwise as a whole (or it can be said that the second four-bar structure 42 moves clockwise), thereby completing the unfolding process of the roof folding mechanism 100.

[0073] As some embodiments of the present application, two roof folding mechanisms 100 may be provided, and the two roof folding mechanisms 100 are respectively provided on both sides of the foldable roof along the width direction of the vehicle. Such a configuration may make the lifting and lowering of the foldable roof smoother and more stable.

[0074] According to the vehicle of the embodiment of the utility model, including the roof folding mechanism 100 of the vehicle of the above-mentioned embodiment, the first link assembly 10, the second link assembly 20, and the coupling assembly 30 are interconnected to form a multi-link mechanism, which can simplify the structure of the roof folding mechanism 100 and reduce the size of the roof folding mechanism 100, so that the design of the roof folding mechanism 100 can be reasonable and the roof folding mechanism 100 can be easy to arrange.
