Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile sunroof control, and particularly relates to an automobile panoramic sunroof control mechanism. Background Technique
[0002] The control mechanism of an automobile panoramic sunroof is a complex and precise system, which is responsible for realizing various functions such as opening, closing, and possibly tilting and sliding of the sunroof. It is mainly composed of a guide block, a guide pin, a connecting rod, a bracket, and front and rear pillow blocks, etc. These components work together to ensure the smooth and stable sliding of the sunroof. When the user issues an instruction through the control switch, the control system receives the instruction and performs logical operations, and then controls the rotation direction and speed of the motor. The motor transmits power to components such as a sliding screw and a cam through a transmission mechanism to make the sunroof perform the opening or closing action. At the same time, the limit switch monitors the position information of the sunroof in real time, and sends a signal to the control system when the sunroof reaches the preset position. The control system then controls the motor to stop moving, completing the opening and closing operation of the sunroof. Since the control mechanism is carried out through multiple components, the process is relatively complex, and most of the parts are iron-plastic coated structures. As the use time increases, friction and wear will occur between the components. Especially, sliding components such as the guide block and the guide pin will be worn. The wear will cause an increase in the clearance between the components, affecting the sealing performance and sliding smoothness of the sunroof. Content of the Utility Model

Embodiment
[0030] Please refer to Figures 1-5, An automotive panoramic sunroof control mechanism, comprising: a glass bracket 2 installed within a guide rail cantilever 1, with a front support arm 4 and a rear support arm 8 provided on one side of the glass bracket 2, and slider assemblies for driving are provided on both the front support arm 4 and the rear support arm 8; a set of support assemblies are provided on the sides of the front support arm 4 and the rear support arm 8 away from the glass bracket 2, a chute assembly is provided inside the cavity of the support assembly, and the slider assemblies of the front support arm 4 and the rear support arm 8 drive the chute assembly to drive the glass bracket 2 to move up and down and slide back and forth. The support assemblies are all made of all-plastic structures.
[0031] The slider assemblies drive the chute assembly to drive the glass bracket 2 to move up and down and slide back and forth. By using a relatively simple mechanism, the up and down and sliding operations of the sunroof glass are realized. Compared with complex mechanical structures, this design based on sliders and chutes is more intuitive and simple, with fewer required parts, lower processing and assembly difficulties. When a failure occurs or maintenance is needed, it is easier to locate the problem and repair or replace parts, reducing maintenance costs and time.
[0032] Among them, a front slider 5 is provided on the side of the front support arm 4 away from the glass bracket 2. The front slider 5 is located within a sliding cavity provided in the guide rail cantilever 1. The ends of the front support arm 4 and the rear support arm 8 are respectively rotatably connected to both ends of the glass bracket 2. The front support arm 4 and the rear support arm 8 are connected to the slider assemblies by rivets. The slider assembly of the front support arm 4 includes a fixing plate for fixing, and a limit slider one 7 is provided on the fixing plate. The limit slider one 7 is the main driving component.
[0033] Further, the slider assembly of the rear support arm 8 includes a fixing plate for fixing, and a limit slider two 11 and a limit slider three 12 are provided on the fixing plate. The limit slider two 11 is located on the side of the rear support arm 8 close to the limit slider one 7, and the limit slider three 12 is located on the side of the rear support arm 8 away from the limit slider one 7. The limit slider two 11 and the limit slider three 12 are driven components, and the sliding of the limit slider one causes the limit slider two 11 and the limit slider three 12 to slide within the chute assembly.
[0034] Furthermore, the support assembly includes a front slider 5 and a rear slider 9. The ends of the front slider 5 and the rear slider 9 are connected to drive synchronously, and different chute assemblies are respectively provided on the front slider 5 and the rear slider 9. The chute assembly of the front slider 5 is a front chute 6. The front chute 6 is provided with a horizontal section and a curved section. The front chute 6 is penetrated by the limit slider one 7 to its bottom. When the limit slider one 7 slides from the curved section of the front chute 6 to the horizontal section, the front slider 5 drives the sunroof glass on the glass bracket 2 to descend. When the limit slider one 7 slides from the horizontal section of the front chute 6 to the curved section, the front slider 5 drives the sunroof glass on the glass bracket 2 to ascend.
[0035] Among them, the chute assembly of the rear slider 9 is the rear chute 10, and the rear chute 10 is provided with an inclined section one and an inclined section two. The rear chute 10 is slidably connected to the outer surfaces of the limit slider two 11 and the limit slider three 12. The inclined section one is located on the side of the rear chute 10 close to the front chute 6. When the limit slider one 7 slides from the horizontal section to the bent section of the front chute 6, the limit block two and the limit block three slide from the inclined section two of the rear chute 10 to the inclined section one side, prompting the rear support arm 8 to lift the glass bracket 2; when the limit slider one 7 slides from the bent section to the horizontal section of the front chute 6, the limit block two and the limit block three slide from the inclined section one of the rear chute 10 to the inclined section two side, and the rear support arm 8 retracts the glass bracket 2 and gradually fits against the guide rail cantilever 1. Through the coordinated setting of the chute assembly, the slider assembly and the support assembly, the skylight control mechanism realizes the lifting, lowering and left-right sliding of the skylight glass. The stable sliding of the slider in the chute ensures the smoothness and accuracy of the movement of the skylight glass.
[0036] It should be noted that the front slider 5 and the rear slider 9 are both provided with a front sliding foot 13 and a rear sliding foot 14. The front slider 5 and the rear slider 9 cooperate with the guide rail cantilever 1 through the front sliding foot 13 and the rear sliding foot 14 and slide in the sliding cavity opened in the guide rail cantilever 1. The front slider 5 is provided with a zip fastener interface 3, which is used to drive the front slider 5 to slide back and forth. The zip fastener interface 3 is externally connected to a zip fastener driving mechanism. Among them, the guide rail cantilever 1 is connected to the top frame of the vehicle, and the sliding cavity of the guide rail cantilever 1 is set as a curved surface extending from the frame to the horizontal plane above the frame, so as to realize the upward opening operation of the skylight glass.
[0037] Through the above embodiments, the working principle of the present utility model is as follows:
[0038] Initial state: The limit slider one 7 is located at the end of the horizontal section of the front chute 6 far from the bent section, the limit slider two 11 and the limit slider three 12 are located in the inclined section two, and the zip fastener interface 3 on the front slider 5 is connected to the zip fastener and is used to drive the front slider 5 to move back and forth.
[0039] During use, start the zip drive mechanism. The zip drive mechanism drives the front slider 5 to slide within the sliding cavity of the guide rail cantilever 1. When the first limit slider 7 slides from the horizontal section to the curved section of the front chute 6, the second limit block and the third limit block slide from the second inclined section of the rear chute 10 towards the first inclined section, prompting the rear support arm 8 to lift the glass bracket 2. When the first limit slider 7 slides from the curved section to the horizontal section of the front chute 6, the second limit block and the third limit block slide from the first inclined section to the second inclined section of the rear chute 10, and the rear support arm 8 retracts the glass bracket 2 and gradually fits it against the guide rail cantilever 1. Through the coordinated setting of the chute assembly, slider assembly, and support assembly, the skylight control mechanism realizes the lifting, lowering, and left - right sliding of the skylight glass. The slider assembly drives the chute assembly to drive the glass bracket 2 to rise, fall, and slide back and forth. Using a relatively simple mechanism to achieve the lifting, lowering, and sliding operations of the skylight glass, compared with complex mechanical structures, this design based on sliders and chutes is more intuitive and simple, requires fewer components, has a lower processing and assembly difficulty. When a failure occurs or maintenance is needed, it is easier to locate the problem and repair or replace components, reducing maintenance costs and time.
