Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of skylight frames, in particular to a panoramic skylight frame structure for an automobile. Background Art

[0002] A panoramic sunroof is a vehicle design feature that has a larger area than an ordinary sunroof and can usually cover the entire roof or most of the roof, providing the driver and passengers with a wider field of view and more natural light.

[0003] Traditional designs cleverly incorporate a zipper duct system within the front frame of a sunroof. The zipper duct provides a channel for the zipper, enabling the sunroof to open and close. However, these ducts typically require multiple covers and hoses in the drainage areas on either side of the front frame to prevent the zipper from detaching from the ducts. This increases the number of parts, raising production costs and making installation more complex. Therefore, a new automotive panoramic sunroof frame structure has been proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] In response to the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a panoramic sunroof frame structure for an automobile. Horizontal alignment slots are provided at both ends of the zipper pipe in the drainage area of the front frame body of the sunroof. This structure can reduce the length of the alignment slots of the zipper pipes on the back of the drainage areas on both sides of the front frame body to prevent the zippers from falling out. At the same time, the cover structures at both ends can be reduced, which reduces production costs and brings convenience to the installation and removal process. Multiple zipper pipes are provided on the left and right guide rails to reduce the use of hoses, which reduces production costs and brings convenience to the installation and removal process.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention solves the problem that the addition of a cover plate in the design of the automobile panoramic sunroof frame structure not only increases the production cost but also brings cumbersomeness to the installation process through the following technical solutions.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A panoramic sunroof frame structure for an automobile includes a sunroof front frame body, a left guide rail structure, and a right guide rail structure. The sunroof front frame body is provided with a front frame plug-in structure zipper pipe. The front frame plug-in structure zipper pipe is respectively provided with an inner horizontal plug-in slot, a first downward plug-in slot, a second downward plug-in slot, and an outer horizontal plug-in slot in drainage areas on both sides. The left guide rail structure and the right guide rail structure are respectively provided with a guide rail zipper pipe.

[0008] Preferably, the front frame plug-in structure zipper pipe is integrally formed with the front frame body of the skylight, and the inner horizontal slot and the outer horizontal slot are both located on the back of the drainage area of the front frame body of the skylight.

[0009] Preferably, the inner horizontal pair of slots and the outer horizontal pair of slots are respectively alternately arranged with the adjacent first downward pair of slots and the second downward pair of slots in the running direction of the zipper and are interconnected.

[0010] Preferably, guide rail zipper pipes are provided on both the right guide rail structure and the left guide rail structure.

[0011] Preferably, the guide rail zipper pipe and the front row frame plug-in structure zipper pipe on the front row frame body of the skylight are interconnected to form a complete zipper running channel.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] The panoramic sunroof frame structure for an automobile provided by the present application is characterized by respectively arranging an inner horizontal slot and an outer horizontal slot in the drainage area of the sunroof front frame body of the front frame plug-in structure zipper pipe, that is, at both ends of the front frame plug-in structure zipper pipe. The purpose is to make the length of the slot in the drainage area small enough to prevent the zipper from jumping out when running in the channel, thereby replacing the role of the zipper cover plate. The design of this structure can reduce the structure of the cover plates at both ends, reduce production costs, and bring convenience to the installation and disassembly process.

[0014] The present application provides a plurality of guide rail zipper pipes in the guide rail, thereby reducing the number of parts to be set after being integrated with the front frame of the sunroof, thereby reducing costs. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
