[0002] As an indispensable creative element in modern car design, the car sunroof not only significantly enhances the aesthetic appearance of the vehicle, but also demonstrates unique advantages in practicality. Compared with the traditional side window design, the car sunroof can introduce fresh air from the outside in a more efficient way, promote air convection in the car, and effectively improve the comfort of the riding environment.
[0003] For existing car sunroofs, most of them are glass-top structures. This design is limited by factors such as the rigidity of the glass, resulting in a relatively small area of the sunroof when opened. In order to effectively expand the opening area of the sunroof and make the air circulation inside and outside the car smoother, a folding car sunroof is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0004] In response to the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides a foldable automobile sunroof. Through the design of a first limit rod cooperating with a second limit rod, the slider structure connected on both sides of the first limit rod plays a Z-direction limiting role. During the sliding process, the tensioning belt and the leaf spring structure cooperate with each other, and only move in the front-rear direction. The slider structure connected on both sides of the second limit rod is in a free state and is connected to the first limit rod in the Z direction through a spring leaf. In this way, during the opening process, the opening area of the sunroof can be effectively expanded, so that the air circulation inside and outside the car is smoother, and at the same time, the overall application effect is ensured.

Therefore, the above terms should not be understood as limitations on the present invention.
[0035] It is to be understood that the term "one" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more", that is, in one embodiment, the number of an element may be one, while in another embodiment, the number of the elements may be multiple, and the term "one" should not be understood as a limitation on the quantity. Example
[0036] See also Figure 1 - Figure 8 A foldable automobile sunroof includes a sunroof frame 1, a plurality of first limiting rods 2 and second limiting rods 3 arranged in the sunroof frame 1, the first limiting rods 2 and the second limiting rods 3 are staggered and extend along one end, a tensioning belt 9 and a leaf spring structure 901 are provided on the sunroof frame 1 for extension, the upper surfaces of the first limiting rods 2 and the second limiting rods 3 are covered with an outer curtain 4, and the lower surfaces are covered with an inner curtain 5.
[0037] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8The foldable automobile sunroof of the present application is mainly composed of a sunroof frame 1, a first limiting rod 2, a second limiting rod 3, an outer curtain 4 and an inner curtain 5. Among them, the first limiting rod 2 and the second limiting rod 3 are provided with multiple structures. The slider structure 8 connected on both sides of the first limiting rod 2 has a Z-direction limiting function. During the sliding process, the tensioning belt 9 and the leaf spring structure 901 cooperate with each other and only move in the front and rear directions. The slider structure 8 connected on both sides of the second limiting rod 3 is in a free state and is correspondingly connected to the first limiting rod 2 in the Z direction through the spring sheet 902. In this way, during the opening process, the opening area of the sunroof can be effectively expanded, making the air circulation inside and outside the car smoother, while ensuring the overall application effect.
[0038] In the specific implementation process, when closing, the spring piece 902 is driven by the downward pulling force of the tensioning belt 9 and the forward pulling force of the Z-direction slider structure 8 to move in the X and Z directions until the first Z-direction limiting rod 2 and the second X-direction limiting rod 3 are aligned after being fully closed;
[0039] During the opening process, the sunroof moves in the X and Z directions due to the upward elastic force of the spring sheet 902 and the backward push of the Z-direction slider. During the upward movement of all the second limit rods 3, the outer curtain 4 and the inner curtain 5 are driven to fold until they are fully opened and folded together at the rear end of the sunroof.
[0040] It should also be noted that there are a total of nine first limiting rods 2 and second limiting rods 3, among which the number of second limiting rods 3 is set to be smaller than that of first limiting rods 2, so that the second limiting rod 3 can be located between the two groups of first limiting rods 2 to perform a telescopic and folding movement state; the tensioning belt 9 is in a taut state under the action of the leaf spring structure 901 provided at its rear end, and the tensioning belt passes through the slider structures 8 at both ends of the nine cross bars in sequence. The slider structure 8 is flattened under the action of the tensioning belt 9, ensuring that the outer curtain 4 and the inner curtain 5 can be taut in the closed state without wrinkles. The turntable provided on the leaf spring structure 901 rotates under the pull of the tensioning belt 9. At this time, the leaf spring structure 901 is in a stressed state. Under the action of the reverse rotation force of the leaf spring structure 901, the tensioning belt 9 is stretched straight. During the opening process of the outer curtain 4 and the inner curtain 5, the leaf spring structure 901 rebounds. After the limitation is performed here, the tension on the tensioning belt disappears, which facilitates the second limiting rod 3 movable in the Z direction to be lifted and folded backward under the action of the spring leaf 902.
[0041] The present application also provides a limit frame 903, which is installed on the skylight frame 1. A raised structure is provided on the upper end of the limit frame 903, which can limit the leaf spring structure 901 when it rebounds.
[0042] The present application also provides a zipper operating pipe 6 and a motor 601, wherein the zipper operating pipe 6 and the motor 601 are both arranged on the back of the skylight frame 1, wherein the zipper operating pipe 6 is used for the operating track, and the motor 601 is installed on the skylight frame 1 and is connected to the zipper operating pipe 6 to drive the zipper operating pipe 6 to move.
[0043] The present application also provides a front reinforcing plate 101 and a rear reinforcing plate 102. The setting of the skylight frame 1 allows the outer curtain 4 and the inner curtain 5 to be located inside and outside thereof while providing support. The front reinforcing plate 101 and the rear reinforcing plate 102 are respectively installed at both ends of the skylight frame 1 to improve the stability of the overall device during application.
[0044] The present application also provides a pull wire 103 and a bracket 104. The pull wire 103 is connected to the front reinforcing plate 101 and the rear reinforcing plate 102 through the bracket 104. When the outer curtain 4 and the inner curtain 5 are closed, their two sides are flattened to ensure aesthetics.
[0045] The present application also provides a sealing strip 7, which is provided on the outer periphery of the skylight frame 1 and can enhance the sealing effect when installed on the skylight.
