[0020] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of a skylight assembly provided in this application.

[0021] The present application provides a skylight assembly. Figure 1 As shown, the skylight assembly of this embodiment includes: a shell 10, a skylight 20, and a locking assembly 30. A first accommodating space 101 is provided on one end surface of the shell 10, and the skylight 20 is rotatably connected to the shell 10. When the skylight 20 is in a closed state, it is located in the first accommodating space 101 of the shell 10. The locking assembly 30 is arranged on a side of the shell 10 close to the first accommodating space 101. A groove 201 adapted to the locking assembly 30 is provided on the skylight 20, and the locking assembly 30 is movably connected to the groove 201. Among them, one end of the skylight 20 is connected to a side wall of the first accommodating space 101 so that the skylight 20 can rotate inside the first accommodating space 101. When the skylight 20 is in a closed state, the skylight 20 is fixed inside the first accommodating space 101 by the locking assembly 30.

[0022] In an optional fact, a first accommodating space 101 is opened on one side end face of the shell 10, and the skylight 20 can be arranged inside the first accommodating space 101, and the plane size of the skylight 20 is the same as the plane size of the first accommodating space 101, so that when the skylight 20 is in a closed state, the skylight 20 is completely inside the first accommodating space 101, thereby achieving the purpose of closing the shell 10 and preventing water from flowing into the interior of the shell 10 through the gap between the skylight 20 and the side wall of the first accommodating space 101. A locking assembly 30 is provided on one end face of the shell 10 for unrolling the first accommodating space 101. When the skylight 20 is in a closed state, the locking assembly 30 can fix the skylight 20. When the skylight 20 needs to be opened, the locking assembly 30 is controlled to disengage from the skylight 20. Since one end of the skylight 20 is rotatably connected to the shell 10, that is, after the locking assembly 30 is disengaged from the skylight 20, the skylight 20 automatically rotates in a direction away from the first accommodating space 101 under the action of gravity, thereby automatically opening the skylight 20 without the need for manpower or electricity. Specifically, a groove 201 adapted to the locking assembly 30 is provided at one end of the skylight 20 close to the locking assembly 30, that is, when the skylight 20 is fixed so that the skylight 20 is in a closed state, the locking assembly 30 is at least partially engaged with the groove 201 of the skylight 20. When the skylight 20 needs to be opened, the locking assembly 30 is disengaged from the groove 201 on the skylight 20, and the skylight 20 automatically opens and disengages from the first accommodating space 101 under the action of gravity.

[0023] In a specific application scenario, taking the example of setting a sunroof assembly inside a vehicle, when the vehicle falls into water, due to the external pressure after the vehicle falls into water, ordinary windows cannot be opened. Therefore, a sunroof 20 is set inside the first accommodating space 101 of the shell 10, and a locking assembly 30 that is compatible with the groove 201 on the sunroof 20 is set on one end face of the shell 10. After the vehicle accidentally falls into water, the locking assembly 30 can be manually controlled inside the vehicle to disengage from the groove 201 on the sunroof 20. At this time, the vehicle that falls into the water will rotate around the side wall of the first accommodating space 101 on the shell 10 under the action of water pressure and gravity, so that the sunroof 20 is separated from the first accommodating space 101, and the people inside the vehicle can leave the vehicle through the opened sunroof 20, greatly improving the possibility of escape for the people inside the vehicle.

[0024] In the above embodiment, a first accommodating space 101 is opened on the shell 10, and a skylight 20 rotatably connected to the shell 10 is arranged in the first accommodating space 101, so that the skylight 20 can rotate inside the first accommodating space 101, a locking assembly 30 is provided on the side of the shell 10 close to the first accommodating space 101, and a groove 201 is provided at one end of the skylight 20 close to the locking assembly 30. When it is necessary to fix the skylight 20 so that the skylight 20 is in a closed state, the locking assembly 30 is at least partially engaged with the groove 201 of the skylight 20. When it is necessary to open the skylight 20, the locking assembly 30 is controlled to disengage from the groove 201 on the skylight 20, so that the skylight 20 automatically opens and disengages from the first accommodating space 101 under the action of gravity, without the need for manual pulling, so that the skylight 20 will not be unable to open in an emergency.

[0025] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the housing 10 is formed with a second accommodating space 102. The skylight 20 can rotate from the interior of the first accommodating space 101 to the interior of the second accommodating space 102, or from the interior of the second accommodating space 102 to the interior of the first accommodating space 101. That is, when the skylight 20 is in an open state and needs to be closed, the skylight 20 can be pulled manually to rotate around the side wall of the first accommodating space 101 on the housing 10. At this time, the skylight 20 rotates from the interior of the first accommodating space 101 to the interior of the second accommodating space 102. After the skylight 20 rotates to the interior of the first accommodating space 101, the locking assembly 30 is controlled so that it engages with the interior of the groove 201 of the skylight 20, thereby securing the skylight 20. When the skylight 20 is in a closed state and needs to be opened, the user can control the locking assembly 30 so that the locking assembly 30 disengages from the interior of the groove 201 on the skylight 20. The skylight 20 will rotate under the action of external pressure and its own gravity. At this time, the skylight 20 rotates from the interior of the second accommodating space 102 to the interior of the first accommodating space 101 around the side wall of the first accommodating space 101. The skylight 20 may include a frame and a glass panel. The frame is arranged around the skylight 20 to wrap the glass panel. In this embodiment, the glass panel inside the frame can be a monolithic structure. When the skylight 20 needs to be opened, the locking assembly 30 is controlled to disengage from the groove 201 on the skylight 20. In other embodiments, the glass panel inside the frame can be configured as a stacked two-layer glass panel structure. When it is necessary to partially open the skylight 20, one layer of glass panel can be controlled to move so that one layer of glass panel moves to the other layer of glass panel. This is not specifically limited in this application.

[0026] In an optional embodiment, the locking assembly 30 includes: a base 301 and a latch 302. The base 301 is disposed on a side end surface of the housing 10 near the first accommodating space 101, adjacent to the side wall of the first accommodating space 101. The latch 302 is slidably disposed inside the base 301 and is movably connected to the groove 201. The base 301 can be disposed on a side end surface of the housing 10 near the first accommodating space 101, that is, inside the second accommodating space 102. The base 301 can be disposed at a location that is convenient for the user to exert force or to be easily accessible, so that in dangerous situations, the locking assembly 30 can be easily accessed to open the sunroof 20. For example, when the sunroof assembly is disposed inside a vehicle, the base 301 is disposed on the housing 10 near the end of the driver's seat. The specific configuration can be as needed, and this application does not make any specific restrictions here. In this embodiment, the base 301 is disposed adjacent to the sidewall of the first accommodating space 101, and a latch 302 is disposed within the base 301. The latch 302 is movably connected to the groove 201 on the skylight 20. Specifically, to secure the skylight 20 in a closed position, the user can push the latch 302 toward the side closer to the skylight 20, causing the latch 302 to engage within the groove 201 on the skylight 20, thereby securing the skylight 20. To open the skylight 20, the user can push the latch 302 away from the skylight 20, causing the latch 302 to disengage from the groove 201 on the skylight 20. The skylight 20 then automatically opens under its own weight, without the need for manual operation.

[0027] In this embodiment, the end of the latch 302 near the groove 201 is configured as an arc-shaped structure; the groove 201 is configured as a semicircular slot that matches the latch 302. When the skylight 20 is closed, the latch 302 is inserted into the groove 201, thereby securing the skylight. In an emergency, if the latch 302 malfunctions, the latch 302 can be configured as an arc-shaped structure at one end to forcefully open the skylight 20. The arc-shaped structure allows the latch 302 to slide within the semicircular slot 201, thereby opening the skylight 20 and preventing the latch 302 from becoming stuck in the skylight 20. In other embodiments, the end of the latch 302 near the groove 201 can be provided with a roller. In the event of a latch malfunction, the roller can roll within the groove 201, thereby reducing the force required to open the skylight 20 and making it easier to open the skylight 20.

[0028] In an optional embodiment, a support member 40 is provided on the end surface of the housing 10 on the side close to the first accommodating space 101. The support member 40 is provided away from the locking assembly 30, and the end of the skylight 20 away from the groove 201 is hinged to the support member 40. The support member 40 is provided on one end surface of the housing 10. The support member 40 can be configured as a circular protrusion structure, and a circular notch that matches the circular protrusion structure is provided at the hinged connection between the skylight 20 and the housing 10. When the skylight 20 is installed, the circular notch of the skylight 20 can be inserted into the support member 40 with the circular protrusion structure, so that when the skylight 20 rotates, the skylight 20 rotates around the support member 40. In other embodiments, the support member 40 can also be configured as a circular notch, the skylight 20 can be configured as a circular protrusion structure, or the skylight 20 and the support member 40 can be connected via a bearing. This is not specifically limited in this application. Furthermore, an electric device can be provided on the shell 10, which can control the sunroof 20 to rotate around the support 40. When the sunroof 20 needs to be opened, the sunroof 20 can be quickly opened under the action of the sunroof 20's own gravity and the electric device. It can be set according to production requirements, and this application does not make specific limitations here.

[0029] In an optional embodiment, an opening 50 communicating with the first accommodating space 101 is defined on a side of the housing 10 remote from the second accommodating space 102. When a user needs to open the skylight 20 to escape, the user can escape through the first accommodating space 101 after the skylight 20 is opened. The planar dimensions of the opening 50 are smaller than those of the first accommodating space 101, forming a baffle 60 at the end of the housing 10 remote from the first accommodating space 101. That is, the opening 50 is smaller than the first accommodating space 101, thereby creating a curved path at the connection between the first accommodating space 101 and the skylight 20. When the skylight 20 is closed, the presence of the baffle 60 effectively prevents water from entering the second accommodating space 102. The skylight 20 is at least partially located within the opening 50, i.e., the portion of the skylight 20 located within the opening 50 remains flush with the plane of the side of the housing 10 remote from the second accommodating space 102. Specifically, the skylight 20 includes a raised portion 202, which is located inside the opening 50 and is adapted to the opening 50. That is, the raised portion 202 is provided on the skylight 20, and when the skylight 20 is in the closed state, the raised portion 202 on the skylight 20 is located inside the opening 50 and is flush with the plane of the housing 10.

[0030] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 2As shown, the connection between the raised portion 202 and the baffle 60 is configured as an inclined surface structure, so that the raised portion 202 and the baffle 60 abut against each other. Specifically, the inclined surface structure is provided on the raised portion 202, and the same inclined surface structure is provided on the baffle 60. This increases the contact area between the raised portion 202 and the baffle 60. The contact between the raised portion 202 and the baffle 60 effectively prevents water from entering the second accommodating space 102, thereby achieving waterproofing. In this embodiment, an elastic waterproof pad can be provided on the inclined surface at the connection between the baffle 60 and the raised portion 202. When the raised portion 202 and the baffle 60 abut, the inclined surface between the raised portion 202 and the baffle 60 applies pressure, thereby enhancing the waterproofing effect. To further enhance the waterproofing effect, a stepped surface is formed between the raised portion 202 and the skylight 20. A sealing ring 70 is provided between the stepped surface and the baffle 60, and the sealing ring 70 is clamped between the baffle 60 and the stepped surface. The stepped surface is arranged parallel to the side surface of the baffle 60, and the sealing ring 70 can be fixedly mounted on the side wall of the baffle 60 near the first accommodating space 101. When the skylight 20 is in the closed state, the stepped surface of the skylight 20 and the baffle 60 squeeze the sealing ring 70, thereby achieving the purpose of waterproofing. The sealing ring 70 is configured as an annular shape that adapts to the stepped surface of the skylight 20. The specific configuration can be based on the shape of the stepped surface of the skylight 20 and the baffle 60, for example, a rectangular annular structure, which is not specifically limited in this application.

[0031] Through the above-mentioned method, the present application provides a first accommodating space 101 on the housing 10, disposes a locking assembly 30 on a side of the housing 10 close to the first accommodating space 101, and provides a groove 201 on one end of the skylight 20 close to the locking assembly 30. When the skylight 20 needs to be opened, the locking assembly 30 is controlled to disengage from the groove 201 on the skylight 20, so that the skylight 20 automatically opens and disengages from the first accommodating space 101 under the action of gravity, thereby preventing the skylight 20 from being unable to open. By providing a base 301 on an end surface of one side of the housing 10 close to the first accommodating space 101 and slidingly providing a latch 302 within the base 301, the latch 302 is movably connected to the groove 201 on the skylight 20, and the skylight 20 can be fixed or opened by controlling the latch 302. By providing a support member 40 on the end face of the housing 10 on the side close to the first accommodating space 101, the skylight 20 can be hinged on the support member 40. When the skylight 20 needs to be opened or closed, the skylight 20 can rotate around the support member 40. By providing an opening 50 connected to the first accommodating space 101 on the side of the housing 10 away from the second accommodating space 102, the user can escape through the opening 50 after opening the skylight 20. By providing the connection between the protrusion 202 and the baffle 60 with an inclined structure, the contact area between the protrusion 202 and the baffle 60 can be increased, thereby achieving the purpose of waterproofing. By providing a sealing ring 70 between the step surface and the baffle 60, when the skylight 20 is in the closed state, the sealing ring 70 can be squeezed by the step surface of the skylight 20 and the baffle 60, thereby achieving the purpose of waterproofing.

[0032] The present application also provides a vehicle, which includes: a sunroof assembly, which is arranged in the vehicle, and the sunroof assembly is any one of the sunroof assemblies described above.
