[0037] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, where the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application and should not be construed as a limitation to the present application.

[0038] Below, refer to Figures 1 - 12 Describe the sun visor mechanism 10 for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present application. The sun visor mechanism 10 includes a base 11, a connecting member 12 and a sun visor body 13. The base 11 is located between the roof and the body of the vehicle and is connected to the body. The connecting member 12 is movably arranged on the base 11. The sun visor body 13 is connected to the connecting member 12. The sun visor body 13 can selectively move in a first direction to switch the connecting member 12 between a retracted state and a deployed state; wherein, in the retracted state, at least part of the sun visor body 13 is received between the roof and the body; in the deployed state, the sun visor body 13 is located inside the cockpit.

[0039] Currently, the sun visor has the function of blocking direct sunlight and reducing the interference of strong light on the line of sight, ensuring the driver's clear judgment of the road conditions ahead. The existing sun visor is set under the roof and connected to the base fixed on the roof through a flipping mechanism. When in use, the sun visor is flipped, and when not in use, it is folded above the front windshield. However, when the sun visor is not often used and is placed under the roof, it affects the aesthetics of the interior of the vehicle.

[0040] As Figure 1 shown, specifically, the sun visor mechanism 10 includes a base 11, a connecting member 12, and a sun visor body 13. The base 11 can be set between the roof and the body of the vehicle, and the base 11 can be fixedly connected to the body. Among them, the body can be a crossbeam of the vehicle. The base 11 and the crossbeam can be detachably connected by screws and bolts, or the base 11 and the crossbeam can be welded together through the contact surface. The base 11 can be extended and set in the first direction. It should be noted that the first direction can be the length direction of the vehicle, that is, the X direction of the vehicle.

[0041] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the connecting member 12 can be set on the base 11, and the connecting member 12 can move on the base 11. The sun visor body 13 can be connected to the connecting member 12. Further, the sun visor body 13 can move in the first direction to drive the connecting member 12 to move, so that the connecting member 12 can be switched between a contracted state and an expanded state. It can be understood that when the user pulls the sun visor body 13, the connecting member 12 can be switched from the contracted state to the expanded state. When the user pushes the sun visor body 13 between the roof and the body, the connecting member 12 can be switched from the expanded state to the contracted state. When the connecting member 12 is in the contracted state, at least part of the sun visor body 13 can be received between the roof and the body. At this time, most of the sun visor body 13 is not in the cockpit, improving the aesthetics of the cockpit. When the connecting member 12 is in the expanded state, the sun visor body 13 can be located in the cockpit, and the user can rotate the sun visor body 13 to block the sunlight to meet the user's needs.

[0042] In short, the sun visor mechanism 10 of the present application has a base 11 and a connecting member 12. The base 11 and the connecting member 12 can be located between the roof and the body of the vehicle. The sun visor body 13 can be connected to the connecting member 12. When the user pulls or pushes the sun visor body 13, the connecting member 12 is in the contracted state and the expanded state, so as to ensure that the sun visor body 13 can realize the hidden function while meeting the shading function, improving the aesthetics of the cockpit.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present application, a first sliding portion extending in a first direction may be formed on the base 11, a second sliding portion may be formed on the connecting member 12, and the second sliding portion may be slidably engaged with the first sliding portion. Among them, the first sliding portion may be configured as one of the chute 111 and the slider 1212, and the second sliding portion may be configured as the other of the chute 111 and the slider 1212. The slider 1212 may cooperate with the chute 111, at least a part of the slider 1212 may be received in the chute 111, and the outer surface of the slider 1212 can abut against the inner surface of the chute 111, so that the slider 1212 can slide in the chute 111. In a specific embodiment, the first sliding portion may be configured as the chute 111, and the second sliding portion may be configured as the slider 1212.

[0044] As Figure 3 shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the connecting member 12 includes a chain 121 and a connecting block 122. One end of the chain 121 may be disposed inside the chute 111, and one end of the chain 121 can be fixedly connected to the base 11, so as to ensure that the other end of the chain 121 is prevented from detaching from the chute 111 as a whole when moving. The connecting block 122 may be disposed at the other end of the chain 121, and the connecting block 122 can be connected to the sun visor body 13. When the sun visor body 13 moves, the sun visor body 13 can drive the connecting block 122 to slide in the chute 111, thereby switching the connecting member 12 between a contracted state and an extended state, realizing the hiding function of the sun visor body 13.

[0045] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the chain 121 includes a plurality of connecting arms 1211, and a slider 1212 is disposed at the center point of at least one connecting arm 1211. The center point referred to here may be the center line of the connecting arm 1211. By cooperating the slider 1212 with the chute 111, the connecting arm 1211 can be moved along the first direction. Adjacent two connecting arms 1211 are rotatably connected. Specifically, a rotating shaft 1213 may be disposed between adjacent two connecting arms 1211, and adjacent two connecting arms 1211 are rotatably connected through the rotating shaft 1213. Alternatively, one of the adjacent two connecting arms 1211 may be provided with a rotating shaft 1213, and the other may be provided with a shaft hole, and the adjacent two connecting arms 1211 are axially connected. Further, in the extended state, each connecting arm 1211 is disposed parallel to the chute 111. In the contracted state, a certain included angle is formed between adjacent two connecting arms 1211. At this time, at least a part of the sun visor body 13 can be received between the roof and the vehicle body. It should be noted that when the sun visor body 13 is switched from the extended state to the contracted state, adjacent two connecting arms 1211 can rotate circumferentially along the rotating shaft 1213.

[0046] As Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, in some embodiments of the present application, an extension portion 1214 is formed at one end of each slider 1212 facing the base 11. The extension portion 1214 can extend circumferentially around the slider 1212. By providing the extension portion 1214, the stability of the cooperation between the slider 1212 and the chute 111 can be improved, preventing the slider 1212 from disengaging from the chute 111 during the sliding process, and enhancing the reliability of the sun visor mechanism 10.

[0047] As Figure 4 shown, in some embodiments of the present application, a fixed shaft 1215 is formed at one end of the chain 121 in the first direction. The other end of the chain 121 in the first direction is connected to the connecting block 122. The base 11 further has a first fastener 112 and a through hole. The through hole can penetrate through the base 11 in the thickness direction and is correspondingly arranged with the fixed shaft 1215. The first fastener 112 is adapted to connect the fixed shaft 1215 to the base 11 through the through hole, thereby fixedly connecting the fixed shaft 1215 to the base 11, and further enabling one end of the chain 121 to be fixedly connected to the base 11, so as to prevent the entire chain 121 from disengaging from the chute 111 when the other end of the chain 121 moves.

[0048] As Figure 9 and Figure 10 shown, in some embodiments of the present application, a rotating shaft 1221 extending towards the sun visor body 13 is further formed on the connecting block 122. The rotating shaft 1221 can be rotatably connected to the sun visor body 13. The rotation movement between the rotating shaft 1221 and the connecting block 122 can be achieved through a ball hole fit. Specifically, an installation groove 131 can be formed at one end of the sun visor body 13 facing the base 11. The installation groove 131 can be recessed inwardly. At least a part of the rotating shaft 1221 can be arranged in the installation groove 131, and the rotating shaft 1221 can be rotatably connected to the inner wall of the installation groove 131. Among them, the base 11 can be configured as two spaced apart in the second direction. The second direction can be the Y direction of the vehicle. The rotating shafts 1221 on the two bases 11 can extend towards each other. Both rotating shafts 1221 can be received in the installation groove 131. The user can rotate the sun visor body 13 to rotate the sun visor body 13 along the axial directions of the two rotating shafts 1221 to achieve the function of shading. Further, one of the two rotating shafts 1221 can be fixedly connected to the installation groove 131, and the other of the two rotating shafts 1221 can be snap-connected to the installation groove 131. The user can disassemble the sun visor body 13 from the rotating shaft 1221 to flip the sun visor body 13, thereby changing the shading angle of the sun visor body 13 to meet the needs of the user.

[0049] AsFigure 8 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the connecting block 122 may include a first block 1222, a second block 1223, and a second fastener 1224. The first block 1222 and the second block 1223 may be sequentially connected in the second direction. The slider 1212 and the rotating shaft 1221 are respectively disposed between the first block 1222 and the second block 1223. The second fastener 1224 can sequentially penetrate through the first block 1222 and the second block 1223 and connect the first block 1222 and the second block 1223, thereby relatively fixing the rotating shaft 1221 and the slider 1212 completely. When the user pulls the sun visor body 13, the sun visor body 13 can drive the rotating shaft 1221 to move, the rotation drives the connecting block 122 to move, and the connecting block 122 drives the slider 1212 to move synchronously, so as to realize the switching of the connecting member 12 between the contracted state and the deployed state.
