Detailed implementation mode

[0033] The present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0034] As Figures 1 to 12 shown, a mechanical group of a top-mounted external sliding panoramic sunroof of the present utility model includes a front frame 2 provided with a front slide rail 1 and a rear frame 4 provided with a rear slide rail 3. It also includes a front tilting arm 5 sliding through the front slide rail 1 and a rear tilting arm 6 sliding through the rear slide rail 3. The front end of the front frame 2 is provided with a front turning chute assembly 7. The front turning chute assembly 7 is provided with a front turning chute 8 cooperating with the front slide rail 1. When the front tilting arm 5 slides from the front end to the rear end of the front turning chute 8, it gradually rises. The front end of the rear frame 4 is provided with a rear turning chute assembly 9. The rear turning chute assembly 9 is provided with a rear turning chute 10 cooperating with the rear slide rail 3. When the rear tilting arm 6 slides from the front end to the rear end of the rear turning chute 10, it gradually rises. In addition, it also includes a glass skeleton 11 and a driving slider 12 for driving the front tilting arm 5 to move back and forth. The front end of the glass skeleton 11 is hinged and installed on the front tilting arm 5 through a front connecting arm 13, and the rear end of the glass skeleton 11 is hinged and installed on the rear tilting arm 6 through a rear connecting arm 14.

[0035] Among them, as Figures 7 to 9 shown, the front turning chute assembly 7 includes symmetric first front turning chute fasteners 15 and second front turning chute fasteners 16. The first front turning chute fastener 15 and the second front turning chute fastener 16 are buckled to form the front turning chute assembly 7. During use, it can double-support the front tilting arm 5 to make the force on both sides uniform and stable.

[0036] In addition, the inner sides of both the first front turning chute fastener 15 and the second front turning chute fastener 16 are provided with a front turning chute 8. One end of the first front turning chute fastener 15 is provided with a male plug 17 inward, and the other end is provided with a female plug 18 inward. The second front turning chute fastener 16 is provided with a matching female plug 18 and male plug 17 at positions corresponding to the male plug 17 and female plug 18 on the first front turning chute fastener 15, which better realizes the installation and disassembly of the front turning chute assembly 7 and further facilitates the installation, disassembly and maintenance of the overall structure.

[0037] In this embodiment, an installation column 19 is provided on each of the left and right sides of the front tilting arm 5. A front sliding sleeve 20 is provided on the installation column 19. The front sliding sleeve 20 is located in the front turning chute 8 or the front slide rail 1, which is convenient for reducing the friction force received by the front tilting arm 5 during movement and avoiding affecting its function.

[0038] In this embodiment, there are two first mounting holes 21 on the front connecting arm 13 for fixedly mounting it on the glass frame 11. There is a first hinge hole 22 on each of the front tilting arm 5 and the front connecting arm 13. The front connecting arm 13 is hinged to the front tilting arm 5 through a rivet 23 passing through the first hinge hole 22. On both sides of the first hinge hole 22 on the front tilting arm 5, there is a front tilting arm gasket 24 and a front connecting arm gasket 25 respectively, which is convenient for installation, disassembly and maintenance.

[0039] As Figures 10 to 12 shown, there are two mounting posts 19 on the inner side of the rear tilting arm 6. Rear sliding sleeves 26 are provided on the mounting posts 19. The rear sliding sleeves 26 are located in the rear turning chute 10 or the rear slide rail 3. There are two second mounting holes 27 on the rear connecting arm 14 for fixedly mounting it on the glass frame 11. There is a second hinge hole 28 on each of the rear tilting arm 6 and the rear connecting arm 14. The rear connecting arm 14 is hinged to the rear tilting arm 6 through a rivet 23 passing through the second hinge hole 28. On both sides of the second hinge hole 28 on the rear tilting arm 6, there is a rear tilting arm gasket 29 and a rear connecting arm gasket 30 respectively, which is convenient for the installation, disassembly and maintenance of the overall structure.

[0040] Finally, a rear tilting arm clamping member 31 is installed on the outer side of the rear tilting arm 6. The longitudinal width of the rear tilting arm clamping member 31 matches the longitudinal width of the rear slide rail 3. On the one hand, it cooperates with the rear turning chute to realize a double-support structure, making the force on both sides uniform and stable. On the other hand, it conducts limiting, enabling the rear sliding sleeve of the front tilting arm to smoothly enter the rear slide rail.

[0041] When this embodiment is in use, as Figure 1 shown, in the initial state, the skylight is in the closed state. At this time, the front sliding sleeve 20 of the front tilting arm 5 is located at the low point of the front turning chute 8 in the front turning chute assembly 7, and the rear sliding sleeve 26 of the rear tilting arm 6 is located at the low point of the rear turning chute 10 in the rear turning chute assembly 9. When the skylight needs to be opened, as Figure 2 shown, the driving slider 12 drives the front tilting arm 5 to move. The front tilting arm 5 gradually rises under the action of the front turning chute 8, so that the skylight glass tilts. At the same time, the rear tilting arm 6 moves under the drive of the glass and also gradually rises under the action of the rear turning chute 10, so as to realize the rising of the entire glass. The driving slider 12 continues to move, as Figure 3 shown, to realize the opening of the skylight.

[0042] Similarly, when the skylight needs to be closed, the driving slider 12 drives the front tilting arm 5 to move in the reverse direction, driving the glass to return first. The driving slider 12 continues to move. The front tilting arm 5 gradually descends under the action of the front turning chute 8. At the same time, the rear tilting arm 6 also gradually descends under the action of the rear turning chute 10, and finally realizes the closing of the entire glass.

[0043] The mechanical assembly of the top-mounted external sliding panoramic sunroof of the present utility model, through the combination of the front tilting arm 5 and the rear tilting arm 6, the force on the cooperating parts is evenly distributed, and it can better absorb the impact strength of the mechanical assembly during the actuation process; the front turning chute assembly 7 adopts a double-support structure, with even and stable force on both sides, avoiding excessive local force, resulting in an increase in frictional resistance and affecting other functions. The stable actuating force can meet the requirements of repeated back-and-forth actuation for opening and closing the sunroof; the rear tilting arm clamping part 31 cooperates with the rear turning chute 10 to achieve a double-support structure, making the force on both sides even and stable, and through the rear tilting arm clamping part 31 for limiting, the rear sliding sleeve 26 of the rear tilting arm 6 can smoothly enter the rear slide rail 3.

[0044] The above shows and describes the basic principles and main structural features of the present utility model. The present utility model is not limited by the above examples. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model, the present utility model will have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present utility model claimed. The scope of protection claimed by the present utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
