[0017] In a possible implementation manner, the sunroof assembly further includes a spacer block, and the spacer block is arranged between the wrapping strip and the cover plate. One end of the spacer block is fixed on the wrapping strip, and the other end of the spacer block is adhered to the second bent segment. The gap between the wrapping strip and the cover plate is filled by the spacer block, and the thickness of the spacer block can be adjusted according to the thickness of different sunroof glasses, so that the cover plate is applicable to different types of sunroofs and vehicles with different configurations, reducing costs.

[0018] In a possible implementation manner, along the edge of the notch, the sunroof glass has a plurality of positioning protrusions, and along the edge of the cover plate, the cover plate has a plurality of positioning grooves; or, along the edge of the notch, the sunroof glass has a plurality of positioning grooves, and along the edge of the cover plate, the cover plate has a plurality of positioning protrusions; each of the positioning protrusions is fitted and installed with the corresponding positioning groove. By the fitting and installation of the positioning protrusions and the positioning grooves, the installation position of the cover plate can be determined when the cover plate is installed on the sunroof glass, avoiding the misalignment of the cover plate.

[0019] In a possible implementation manner, the cover plate is provided with a flanging that bends towards the back surface of the sunroof glass at the edge of the groove, and the flanging is used for installing the radar assembly. The radar assembly can be installed through the flanging. For example, the housing of the radar assembly is pasted on the flanging, which is convenient for installing the radar assembly.

[0044] In the related art, there is a technical problem that the sunroof assembly occupies a large Z-direction space of the vehicle and encroaches on the head space of the driver and passengers. The reason for this problem is that the cover plate integrated with the lidar is installed on the sunroof glass in a snap-fit and threaded connection manner.

[0045] In view of the above technical problems, the embodiment of the present application provides a sunroof assembly and a vehicle. By arranging the bent part of the cover plate along the edge of the notch, the first bent section of the bent part is connected to the main body part, and the second bent section of the bent part is connected to the back surface of the sunroof glass in a bonded manner. By fixing and connecting the cover plate and the sunroof glass in a bonded manner, compared with snap-fit and threaded connection, it is convenient for installation, and the sunroof assembly after connection occupies a small space in the Z-direction of the vehicle, that is, the vertical direction, avoiding encroaching on the head space of the driver and passengers.

[0046] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0047] An embodiment of the present application provides a sunroof assembly, which is a vehicle component provided on the top of a vehicle for lighting. As Figure 1 and Figure 4 shown, the sunroof assembly includes a sunroof glass 100 and a cover plate 200. The sunroof glass 100 is the part of the sunroof assembly for lighting, and the sunroof glass 100 is the main structure of the sunroof assembly. A notch 110 is provided on one side of the sunroof glass 100, and the notch 110 is used to install the cover plate 200. As Figure 1 shown, the notch 110 can be provided on the side of the sunroof glass 100 close to the vehicle head.

[0048] The sunroof glass 100 is usually a fixed laminated glass. In terms of technology, a notch 110 can be opened on one side of the sunroof glass 100, but it is difficult to set a hole in the middle position of the sunroof glass 100, and it is difficult to install and fix a radar component with the glass material. By opening a notch 110 on one side of the sunroof glass 100, compared with connecting the cover plate 200 between one side of the sunroof glass 100, the area occupied by the cover plate 200 in the sunroof assembly can be reduced, and the area occupied by the sunroof glass 100 can be increased, thereby improving the light transmittance of the sunroof assembly.

[0049] The cover plate 200 is a structure for carrying and installing a radar component 300. The material of the cover plate 200 can be a metal material such as aluminum alloy, or a plastic material such as polycarbonate, so as to facilitate carrying the radar component 300. As Figure 1 shown, the cover plate 200 is arranged at the notch 110, and the shape of the cover plate 200 is the same as or similar to the shape of the notch 110. The cover plate 200 includes a main body portion 210 and a bent portion 220.

[0050] As Figure 2 shown, the main body portion 210 closes the notch 110, and a groove 211 is arranged in the main body portion 210. The shape of the groove 211 can be rectangular, approximately rectangular, circular, approximately circular, elliptical or approximately elliptical. The groove 211 is the part on the cover plate 200 for installing the radar component 300. The radar component 300 can be installed at the groove 211 by bonding, clamping or other means. For example, referring to Figure 5 , the radar component 300 can be bonded to the groove wall of the groove 211.

[0051] The bent portion 220 is the connecting portion between the cover plate 200 and the skylight glass 100. As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the bent portion 220 includes a first bent segment 221 and a second bent segment 222. The first bent segment 221 connects the main body portion 210 and the second bent segment 222. As Figure 3 shown, along the edge of the notch 110, the first bent segment 221 extends from the main body portion 210 toward the back surface of the skylight glass 100. Along the edge of the notch 110, the second bent segment 222 extends from the first bent segment 221 toward the solid portion of the skylight glass 100. The solid portion of the skylight glass 100 is the portion of the skylight glass 100 except for the notch 110. The second bent segment 222 is bonded to the back surface of the skylight glass 100.

[0052] By arranging the bent portion 220 of the cover plate 200 along the edge of the notch 110, the bent portion 220 includes the connected first bent segment 221 and the second bent segment 222. The first bent segment 221 connects the main body portion 210, and the second bent segment 222 is connected to the back surface of the skylight glass 100 by bonding. Thus, the cover plate 200 and the skylight glass 100 are fixedly connected by bonding. Compared with snap connection and screw connection, it is convenient for installation, and the connected skylight assembly occupies less Z-direction space of the vehicle. The Z-direction of the vehicle is the vertical direction, avoiding occupying the head space of the driver and passengers.

[0053] In addition, in the related art, the installation process of the skylight assembly on the vehicle is as follows: first, install the skylight glass 100 on the roof, and then install the cover plate 200 integrated with the lidar on the skylight glass 100. In the skylight assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application, the cover plate 200 is integrated on the skylight glass 100 to form an integral skylight assembly, and the skylight assembly as a whole can be directly installed on the roof, thereby improving the installation efficiency.

[0054] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 shown, the skylight assembly further includes a edge strip 400. The edge strip 400 is wrapped around the edge of the glass to improve the sealing performance and protect the glass. The material of the edge strip 400 is usually plastic or rubber materials such as polyurethane, polypropylene, and polyvinyl chloride. The edge strip 400 wraps around the skylight glass 100 along the edge of the notch 110 to protect the skylight glass. Compared with the second bent segment 222 being directly bonded to the glass material of the skylight glass 100, the second bent segment 222 is bonded to the plastic or rubber material of the edge strip 400, which is convenient for bonding and has high connection strength after bonding.

[0055] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 shown, the skylight assembly further includes a spacer 500. The spacer 500 can be made of metal materials such as aluminum alloy, or can also be plastic or rubber materials. As Figure 3As shown, the spacer 500 is disposed between the edge strip 400 and the cover plate 200. One end of the spacer 500 is fixed to the edge strip 400, for example, by adhesion or snap connection. The other end of the spacer 500 is adhesively bonded to the second bent section 222.

[0056] The gap between the edge strip 400 and the cover plate 200 is filled by the spacer 500. The thickness of the spacer 500 can be adjusted according to the different thicknesses of the sunroof glass 100, so that the cover plate 200 is applicable to different types of sunroofs and different configurations of vehicles, reducing costs.

[0057] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, along the edge of the notch 110, the sunroof glass 100 has a plurality of positioning protrusions 120. For example, Figure 2 taking the shown example, the number of the positioning protrusions 120 can be three. The three positioning protrusions 120 are respectively located at the starting position, the middle position, and the ending position of the edge of the notch 110. It should be noted that the number of the positioning protrusions 120 is not limited to three, and can also be two, four, or more.

[0058] As Figure 3 shown, along the edge of the cover plate 200, the cover plate 200 has a plurality of positioning grooves 230. The number of the positioning grooves 230 can be two, three, four, or more. Each positioning groove 230 can be disposed on the second bent section 222 of the cover plate 200. The positions of the positioning grooves 230 correspond to the positioning protrusions 120, so that the positioning protrusions 120 can be installed in the positioning grooves 230 at the corresponding positions. Thus, when the cover plate 200 is installed on the sunroof glass 100, the installation position of the cover plate 200 is determined, avoiding misalignment of the cover plate 200.

[0059] In some other embodiments, along the edge of the notch 110, the sunroof glass 100 has a plurality of positioning grooves 230. For example, the number of the positioning grooves 230 can be three. The three positioning grooves 230 are respectively located at the starting position, the middle position, and the ending position of the edge of the notch 110. It should be noted that the number of the positioning grooves 230 is not limited to three, and can also be two, four, or more.

[0060] Along the edge of the cover plate 200, the cover plate 200 has a plurality of positioning protrusions 120. The number of the positioning protrusions 120 can be two, three, four, or more. Each positioning protrusion 120 can be disposed on the second bent section 222 of the cover plate 200. The positions of the positioning protrusions 120 correspond to the positioning grooves 230, so that the positioning grooves 230 can be installed in the positioning protrusions 120 at the corresponding positions. Thus, when the cover plate 200 is installed on the sunroof glass 100, the installation position of the cover plate 200 is determined, avoiding misalignment of the cover plate 200.

[0061] In some embodiments, as Figure 5As shown, the cover plate 200 is provided with a flanging 240 at the edge of the groove 211. The flanging 240 is bent towards the back surface of the skylight glass 100 and extends from the main body portion 210 towards the inside of the groove 211 to form the groove wall of the groove 211. The flanging 240 is used for installing the radar assembly 300. For example, the radar assembly 300 is adhered to the flanging 240.

[0062] An embodiment of the present application further provides a vehicle. As Figure 5 shown, the vehicle includes a radar assembly 300 and the skylight assembly described in any one of the above embodiments. The specific structure and related effects of the skylight assembly can be referred to the relevant descriptions of the above embodiments. The radar assembly 300 is located in the groove 211 of the skylight assembly. Since this vehicle adopts all the technical solutions of any one of the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by any one of the above embodiments, and will not be elaborated one by one here.

[0063] In some embodiments, the radar assembly 300 includes a housing 310 and a lidar. The housing 310 is the outer shell of the radar assembly 300, and the housing 310 is installed in the groove 211. For example Figure 5 shown, the housing is adhered to the flanging 240.

[0064] The lidar has a hidden state and a working state. The hidden state is the state when the lidar is not needed. When the lidar is in the hidden state, the lidar is housed in the housing 310. The working state is the state when the lidar monitors the information around the vehicle and assists in driving. When the lidar is working, the lidar extends from the housing 310 to the outside of the housing 310 to monitor the information around the vehicle, such as obstacle feature recognition, laser ranging, etc. With such a setting, the lidar can be housed in the housing 310 when it is idle, which is more beautiful.

[0065] In some embodiments, the radar assembly 300 is provided with a lifting mechanism in the housing 310. The lifting mechanism is connected to the lidar. When the lifting mechanism rises, it can lift the lidar to the outside of the housing 310. When the lifting mechanism descends, it can drive the lidar to be housed in the housing 310. The state of the lidar can be switched by lifting or lowering the lidar through the lifting structure.

[0066] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 shown, a sealing strip 600 is provided between the housing 310 and the cover plate 200. The sealing strip 600 is used to fill the gap between the housing 310 and the cover plate 200 to prevent dust or debris from entering the gap.

[0067] In some embodiments, as Figure 5As shown, the top of the housing 310 is flush with the top of the cover plate 200, and the tops of the housing 310 and the cover plate 200 are in the same plane. Thus, when the radar assembly is received in the housing 310, there is no protrusion above the cover plate 200, which increases the aesthetic appearance of the vehicle.

[0068] In the present specification, the various embodiments or implementation manners are described in a progressive manner. Each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. For the same or similar parts among the various embodiments, reference may be made to each other.
