[0064] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of this application more clear, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the specific embodiments of this application and the corresponding drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0065] Figure 1 A vehicle 1 according to an embodiment of the present application is schematically shown. Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle 1 includes a vehicle roof 12. A skylight opening 11 is provided on the vehicle roof 12, and a skylight glass (not shown in the figure) is installed at the skylight opening 11. In order to shield the skylight glass when necessary, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, a vehicle sunshade device 2 (hereinafter referred to as the sunshade device 2) is also installed at the sunroof opening 11. In some vehicles, the vehicle roof panel can also be made of glass (i.e., the vehicle roof panel is a glass skylight). In this case, the vehicle sunshade device 2 is installed on the glass skylight.

[0066] Next, the sunshade device 2 will be described.

[0067] like Figure 2a and Figure 2b As shown, the sunshade device 2 mainly includes a frame assembly 5, a drive member 4, a reel 3, two pulleys installed at both ends of the reel 3 (i.e., a first pulley 31a and a second pulley 31b), two pull ropes (i.e., a first pull rope 32a and a second pull rope 32b) and a curtain 6.

[0068] The frame assembly 5 includes two substantially parallel guide rails 51. The two guide rails 51 are mounted on the vehicle roof 12. The two guide rails 51 extend generally along the two longitudinal edges 121 of the vehicle roof 12 (i.e., generally along a first direction X) and are spaced apart along a second direction Y that is perpendicular to the first direction X. In some embodiments not shown, the two guide rails may also be arranged in other directions, which will not be further described here.

[0069] The reel 3 is also mounted on the vehicle roof 12 and between the two guide rails 51. For example, the reel 3 generally extends along the second direction Y. The curtain 6 is carried on the reel 3 and has a free edge 62 away from the reel 3. In one embodiment, a tension rod 61 is provided at the free edge 62.

[0070] The driving member 4 is also mounted on the vehicle roof 12 and connected to one end of the reel 3 to drive the reel 3 to rotate. The first sheave 31a and the second sheave 31b rotate synchronously with the reel 3 under the drive of the reel 3. In one embodiment, the driving member 4 can be a motor.

[0071] The sunshade device 2 further includes two pulley sets (ie, a first pulley set 33a and a second pulley set 33b), and the two pulley sets are arranged along the second direction Y on two guide rails ( Figure 2b (not shown).

[0072] The first pull rope 32a is connected to the first end of the pull rod 61 and is redirected by the first pulley set 33a to be connected to the first rope pulley 31a. The second pull rope 32b is connected to the second end of the pull rod 61 and is redirected by the second pulley set 33b to be connected to the second rope pulley 32b. In some embodiments not shown, the first and second pull ropes can also be connected to the free edges of the curtain fabric.

[0073] When the drive member 4 rotates the reel 3 in a first direction (e.g., clockwise), the first and second pull ropes 32a, 32b move rearward in the first direction X (i.e., toward the reel 3) and are wound onto the first and second pulleys 31a, 31b, respectively. The free edge 62 of the curtain 6 and the pull rod 61 are pulled by the two pull ropes, moving forward in the first direction X (i.e., away from the reel 3), away from the reel 3. The curtain 6 is released from the reel 3 and unrolled to cover the sunroof glass. When the drive member 4 rotates the reel 3 in a second direction (e.g., counterclockwise), the curtain 6 is gradually retracted onto the reel 3, revealing the sunroof glass. Simultaneously, the free edge 62 of the curtain 6 and the pull rod 61 move rearward in the first direction X toward the reel 3. The first and second pull ropes 32a, 32b are released from the first and second pulleys 31a, 31b, respectively, and move forward in the first direction X.

[0074] In one embodiment, sliding feet (not shown) are provided at both ends of the pull rod 61, and the sliding feet are slidably engaged with corresponding guide rails. When the pull rod 61 moves backward or forward along the first direction X, the sliding feet slide along the corresponding guide rails.

[0075] Next, the frame assembly 5 will be described.

[0076] refer to Figure 2a and Figure 3 The frame assembly 5 includes not only the two guide rails 51 described above, but also a plurality of mounting clips 52. These mounting clips 52 are fixedly mounted on the vehicle roof 12, and the two guide rails 51 are connected to these mounting clips 52 to be mounted on the vehicle roof 12. For simplicity, the following description of guide rail installation uses one guide rail as an example.

[0077] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 7 The guide rail 51 is configured with a receiving groove 513. For example, the receiving groove 513 extends along a first direction X (ie, a longitudinal direction of the guide rail 51), and an opening of the receiving groove 513 faces the mounting clip 52 along a second direction Y.

[0078] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 7 Each mounting clip 52 includes a base 53 and a connecting pin 54 movably mounted on the base 53. The base 53 is adapted to be fixedly disposed on the vehicle roof 12, thereby fixing the mounting clip 52 to the vehicle roof 12.

[0079] When installing the guide rail 51 on the vehicle roof 12, the mounting clips 52 are first installed at predetermined locations on the vehicle roof 12. The guide rail 51 is then positioned so that the receiving slots 513 are aligned with the connecting pins 54. The connecting pins 54 are then pushed generally in the second direction Y toward the receiving slots 513, so that a portion of the connecting pins 54 (e.g., the connecting head 544 of the connecting pins 54) is inserted into the receiving slots 513. In this manner, the mounting clips 52 and guide rail 51 are assembled, and the guide rail 51 is mounted on the vehicle roof 12 via the mounting clips 52.

[0080] The guide rail 51 can also be removed from the vehicle roof panel 12. For example, the connecting pin 54 (or the connecting head 544 of the connecting pin 54) is moved away from the receiving groove 513. In this way, the guide rail 51 is separated from the mounting clip 52, and the guide rail 51 can be easily removed from the vehicle roof panel 12.

[0081] It can be seen that according to the technical solution of the present application, the guide rail 51 can be easily installed and removed from the vehicle roof 12 by operating the installation clamp 52, thereby facilitating the maintenance or replacement of the guide rail 51.

[0082] In addition, when the guide rail 51 is installed on the vehicle roof 12 by the mounting clip 52, the contact area between the connecting head 544 of the connecting pin 54 and the receiving groove 513 is large. This makes it difficult for the guide rail 51 to be disengaged from the mounting clip 52, thereby improving the stability of the guide rail 51.

[0083] Also refer to Figure 2a and Figure 3 , a plurality of mounting clips 52 are generally spaced apart from each other along the first direction X. The base 53 of each mounting clip 52 is connected to the base 53 by a connecting module 524 (such as Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the plurality of connection modules 524 of the plurality of mounting clips 52 are fixedly arranged on the vehicle roof 12, and the plurality of connection modules 524 of the plurality of mounting clips 52 are separated from each other. For example, the connection module 524 is a polyurethane (i.e., PU) module. Thus, there is no need to set a PU strip with a length almost equal to that of the guide rail on the vehicle roof to install the guide rail as in the prior art, but only needs to set a few PU modules at several preset positions on the vehicle roof. This reduces the use of PU, thereby reducing the installation cost of the sunshade device 2. It should be understood that the connection module can also be made of other materials, which is not limited here.

[0084] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 8a As shown, the base 53 has two spaced-apart mounting frames (i.e., a first mounting frame 531 and a second mounting frame 532) and a sliding slot 533 extending between the first mounting frame 531 and the second mounting frame 532. A connecting module 524 is formed within these mounting frames and connected to the vehicle roof panel 12, thereby fixing the base 53 to the vehicle roof panel 12. In some embodiments not shown, the base may also be provided with only one mounting frame, with the sliding slot adjacent to the mounting frame.

[0085] The sliding groove 533 generally extends toward the guide rail 51 along the second direction Y. The connecting pin 54 is disposed within the sliding groove 533 and is capable of reciprocatingly sliding along the extending direction of the sliding groove 533 (i.e., the second direction Y) to engage with or disengage from the receiving groove 513 of the guide rail 51. The sliding groove 533 guides and retains the connecting pin 54, making it easier for an operator to engage or disengage the connecting pin 54 from the guide rail 51.

[0086] Also like Figure 8a As shown, a guide opening 535 is provided on the circumferential wall of the sliding groove 533, and the guide opening 535 is connected to the sliding groove 533. The guide opening 535 also extends generally along the second direction Y (i.e., the extension direction of the sliding groove 533) and has two longitudinal side walls (i.e., the first longitudinal side wall 536a and the second longitudinal side wall 536b). The first longitudinal side wall 536a and the second longitudinal side wall 536b are spaced apart along the first direction X (or, the width direction of the guide opening 535). Two locking grooves (i.e., as shown in FIG. 1 ) are provided on each of the first longitudinal side wall 536a and the second longitudinal side wall 536b. Figure 8b As shown, the first locking groove 537a is located near the guide rail 51, and the second locking groove 537b is located away from the guide rail 51. The first locking groove 537a and the second locking groove 537b are spaced apart from each other along the second direction Y. It should be understood that the first locking groove 537a and the second locking groove 537b can be configured to have substantially the same shape. In other embodiments, depending on actual circumstances, three or more locking grooves can be provided on each longitudinal side wall, which will not be further described here.

[0087] like Figure 9 As shown, the connecting pin 54 includes a body 541 and two elastic ribs (i.e., a first elastic rib 542a and a second elastic rib 542b) protruding from the body 541. The body 541 is disposed within the sliding groove 533 and is capable of reciprocatingly sliding along the extending direction of the sliding groove 533. The connecting head 544 is part of the body 541. Each of the first elastic rib 542a and the second elastic rib 542b is provided with a locking protrusion, for example, the first elastic rib 542a is provided with a first locking protrusion 543a, and the second elastic rib 542b is provided with a second locking protrusion 543b.

[0088] When assembling the connecting pin 54 with the base 53, first, at least a portion of the body 541 is positioned within the sliding slot 533, with the first and second elastic ribs 542a, 542b positioned within the guide opening 535 and spaced apart along the width of the guide opening 535 (i.e., the first direction X). For example, the first elastic rib 542a is positioned adjacent to the first longitudinal sidewall 536a, while the second elastic rib 542b is positioned adjacent to the second longitudinal sidewall 536b. Furthermore, the first locking protrusion 543a on the first elastic rib 542a extends toward the first longitudinal sidewall 536a, while the second locking protrusion 543b on the second elastic rib 542b extends toward the second longitudinal sidewall 536b. The body 541 is then pushed into the sliding slot 533 along the second direction Y. The first locking protrusion 543a and the second locking protrusion 543b are squeezed toward each other by the first longitudinal sidewall 536a and the second longitudinal sidewall 536b, causing the first elastic rib 542a and the second elastic rib 542b to elastically deform toward each other. When the first locking protrusion 543a and the second locking protrusion 543b are aligned with the two second locking grooves 537b, the first elastic rib 542a and the second elastic rib 542b regain their shape, allowing the first locking protrusion 543a and the second locking protrusion 543b to engage with the corresponding second locking grooves 537b. This ensures that the connecting pin 54 and the base 53 are stably assembled together. At this point, the connector 544 is located within the sliding groove 533. The two second locking grooves 537b respectively retain the first locking protrusion 543a and the second locking protrusion 543b, making it virtually impossible for the connecting pin 54 to disengage from the sliding groove 533 and thus separate from the base 53. This prevents the connection pin 54 from being lost and facilitates the use of the mounting clip 52 .

[0089] When the guide rail 51 and the mounting clip 52 are assembled together, the guide rail 51 is arranged so that the receiving groove 513 is aligned with the connecting pin 54. Then, the connecting pin 54 is pushed forward toward the receiving groove 513 along the second direction Y. The first locking protrusion 543a and the second locking protrusion 543b each move out from the corresponding second locking groove 537b and are again squeezed toward each other by the first longitudinal side wall 536a and the second longitudinal side wall 536b, so that the first elastic rib 542a and the second elastic rib 542b are elastically deformed toward each other. When the first locking protrusion 543a and the second locking protrusion 543b are respectively aligned with the two first locking grooves 537a, the first elastic rib 542a and the second elastic rib 542b return to their original shape and the first locking protrusion 543a and the second locking protrusion 543b are respectively engaged with the corresponding first locking groove 537a. At this point, the connector 544 extends from the sliding slot 533 and is inserted into the receiving slot 513 of the guide rail 51, thereby assembling the guide rail 51 and the mounting clip 52. Similarly, the two first locking grooves 537a retain the first locking protrusion 543a and the second locking protrusion 543b, respectively, so that the connecting pin 54 and the guide rail 51 remain stably engaged, thereby stably mounting the guide rail 51 on the vehicle roof panel 12.

[0090] When separating the guide rail 51 from the mounting clip 52, the first elastic rib 542a and the second elastic rib 542b are pressed toward each other by an external force (e.g., manually), so that the first locking protrusion 543a and the second locking protrusion 543b are moved out of the corresponding first locking groove 537a. Then, the connecting pin 54 is moved backward along the second direction Y away from the guide rail 51 until the first locking protrusion 543a and the second locking protrusion 543b are respectively engaged with the corresponding second locking groove 537b. As described above, the connecting head 544 also retracts into the sliding groove 533, and the guide rail 51 and the mounting clip 52 are separated.

[0091] In fact, the connecting pin 54 can reciprocate multiple times in the sliding groove 533 along the second direction Y, thereby allowing the guide rail 51 to be installed and removed from the vehicle roof panel 12 multiple times.

[0092] like Figure 9 As shown, with the movement direction C of the connecting pin 54 inserted into the receiving groove 513 as a reference, the front edge of the first locking protrusion 543a is configured as a first guiding inclined surface 545 forming an acute angle with the movement direction C, and the rear edge is configured as a first abutting surface 546 forming a right angle with the movement direction C; the same is true for the second locking protrusion 543b. Figure 8bAs shown, still with reference to the movement direction C of the connecting pin 54 inserted into the receiving groove 513, the front edge of each second locking groove 537b is configured as a second guide surface 538 (for example, the second guide surface 538 is a substantially arc-shaped guide surface), and the rear edge is configured as a second abutting surface 539 that forms a substantially right angle with the movement direction C. The rear edge of each first locking groove 537a is configured as a third abutting surface 534 that forms a substantially right angle with the movement direction C.

[0093] The following describes the engagement of the locking projections with the corresponding locking grooves, using only the first locking projection 543a as an example. When the connecting pin 54 is assembled with the base 53, the first locking projection 543a engages within the corresponding second locking groove 537b, and the first abutting surface 546 of the first locking projection 543a abuts the second abutting surface 539 of the corresponding second locking groove 537b. The connecting pin 54 is prevented from moving backward in the second direction Y (i.e., in the direction opposite to the direction of motion C), thus stably assembling the connecting pin 54 and the base 53. When the guide rail 51 and the mounting clamp 52 are assembled together, the connecting pin 54 is pushed forward in the second direction Y. Under the guidance of the second guide surface 538 of the second locking groove 537b against the first guide slope 545 of the first locking projection 543a, the first locking projection 543a can easily move forward out of the second locking groove 537b. When the first locking protrusion 543a is engaged with the corresponding first locking groove 537a, the connecting head 544 of the connecting pin 54 is inserted into the receiving groove 513 of the guide rail 51, and the first abutting surface 546 of the first locking protrusion 543a abuts the third abutting surface 534 of the corresponding first locking groove 537a. The connecting pin 54 is prevented from moving backward in the second direction Y (i.e., in the direction opposite to the movement direction C), and the guide rail 51 and the mounting clip 52 are stably assembled together.

[0094] In other embodiments not shown, the first locking protrusion and the second locking protrusion may also be connected to the body of the connecting pin via other structural members (e.g., springs) so that the first locking protrusion and the second locking protrusion can be engaged with or moved out of the corresponding locking grooves. The specific structure is not repeated here.

[0095] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The mounting clip 52 further includes a nut 521 fixedly provided on a connection module 524 as a first connection structure. In other words, the nut 521 is attached to the base 53 through the connection module 524. A connection hole 512 corresponding to the nut 521 is provided on the guide rail 51 as a second connection structure (e.g., Figure 4(As shown). When assembling the guide rail 51 and mounting clamp 52, align the nut 521 with the connection hole 512, and then install the screw 511 in the nut 521 and the connection hole 512 to further enhance the stability of the connection between the rail 51 and the mounting clamp 52. It should be understood that the first and second connection structures can also be in other forms. For example, the first connection structure can be a screw, and the second connection structure can be a connection hole. After the screw is passed through the corresponding connection hole, a nut is installed on the screw to securely connect the guide rail and the mounting clamp.

[0096] like Figure 7 As shown, the frame assembly 5 also includes a shielding plate 510, which is disposed between the guide rail 51 and the vehicle roof 12 and extends along a first direction X (i.e., the longitudinal direction of the guide rail 51). The mounting clip 52 is located on the side of the shielding plate 510 facing the longitudinal edge 121 of the vehicle roof 12 and is shielded by the shielding plate 510. From the perspective of the vehicle as a whole, the mounting clip 52 is concealed by the shielding plate 510, improving the vehicle's aesthetics. Furthermore, the shielding plate 510 protects the mounting clip 52, preventing dust and other debris from the external environment from accumulating on the mounting clip 52 and causing adverse effects thereon.

[0097] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 7 A limiting groove 514 is constructed on the surface of the guide rail 51 facing the vehicle roof 12. The shielding plate 510 is installed in the limiting groove 514. This improves the stability of the shielding plate 510 and facilitates the installation of the shielding plate 510.

[0098] Also like Figure 4 As shown, the guide rail 51 is further configured with a harness groove 515, a foot groove 516, a rope groove 517, and a side strip groove 518. The harness groove 515, the foot groove 516, the rope groove 517, and the side strip groove 518 all extend along the first direction X. The harness groove 515 is used to arrange the harness of the drive member 4. The pull rope is adapted to slide in the rope groove 517, the foot is adapted to slide in the foot groove 516, and the longitudinal edge of the curtain fabric 6 is adapted to slide in the side strip groove 518.

[0099] It should be understood that the positions of the harness slot 515, the foot slot 516, the rope slot 517, the side strip slot 518, and the aforementioned receiving slot 513 and the limiting slot 514 can be changed according to actual circumstances and are not limited here. In some embodiments not shown, depending on actual circumstances, in addition to the receiving slot 513, the guide rail 51 may also be configured with only one or more of the limiting slot 514, the harness slot 515, the foot slot 516, the rope slot 517, and the side strip slot 518, rather than all of them. This will not be repeated here.

[0100] In one embodiment, the guide rail 51 is made of a plastic material. In one embodiment, the plastic material may be glass-fiber reinforced nylon. When a plastic guide rail collides with other components, it produces a quieter and quieter noise, which improves the user experience. Furthermore, compared to conventional aluminum guide rails, plastic guide rails do not require anodizing, which is environmentally friendly. Furthermore, plastic guide rails are less expensive and lighter.

[0101] Furthermore, the guide rail 51 is elastic. Thus, when installing the guide rail 51 on the curved vehicle roof 12, there is no need to pre-fabricate the guide rail 51 into a curved shape (for example, the guide rail 51 can be straight). The mounting clamp 52 automatically adjusts the guide rail 51 to a curved shape that matches the vehicle roof 12. This also simplifies the manufacturing and assembly of the guide rail 51.

[0102] The foregoing is merely an embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various changes and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application should all be included within the scope of the claims of the present application.
