[0043] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0044] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the directional descriptions, such as up, down, etc., are based on the directional or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0045] In the description of this utility model, "several" refers to one or more, and "multiple" refers to two or more. The use of "first" and "second" is merely for distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, the number of indicated technical features, or the sequential relationship between indicated technical features.

[0046] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0047] The directions mentioned in this utility model, such as up, down, front, back, left, and right, refer to the vehicle's orientation in the O-XYZ coordinate system. The origin O coincides with the vehicle's center of mass. The front end refers to the X direction parallel to the ground pointing forward, the rear end refers to the X direction parallel to the ground pointing backward, the left side refers to the Y direction parallel to the ground pointing to the driver's left, the right side refers to the Y direction parallel to the ground pointing to the driver's right, the upper end refers to the Z direction passing through point O pointing upward, and the lower end refers to the Z direction passing through point O pointing downward.

[0048] In related technologies, vehicles have non-retractable rear quarter windows. Users use vacuum suction cups to fix mounting brackets and other decorative items to the rear quarter window to place fishing rods along the front-to-back direction of the vehicle. However, the vacuum suction cups may detach during vehicle operation, posing a certain risk to the user while driving.

[0049] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the first aspect of this utility model proposes a headliner assembly, which includes: a frame 100, a decorative seat 200, and a decorative cover 300. The decorative seat 200 is connected to the frame 100 and defines an expansion hole 210. The decorative cover 300 is connected to the decorative seat 200 to cover or expose the expansion hole 210. If the expansion hole 210 is exposed on the interior surface, it will affect the aesthetics of the interior surface. Therefore, when the decorative cover 300 covers the expansion hole 210, it is more aesthetically pleasing and can protect the expansion hole 210 from being blocked or damaged by foreign objects. When the expansion hole 210 is exposed, the expansion member is connected to the expansion hole 210 to realize the installation of the expansion member. The expansion member facilitates the placement of other items and makes full use of the roof space in the vehicle, increasing storage space and improving the reliability of use.

[0050] The roof assembly refers to the canopy on the top of the vehicle, which is generally divided into canopies with and without sunroofs. In this embodiment, the roof assembly is a canopy with a sunroof, and the roof assembly has an opening reserved to avoid the location of the sunroof.

[0051] Specifically, the main part of the roof assembly is the frame 100, which includes an interior surface that forms the vehicle's passenger space. The vehicle's passenger space refers to the space where the driver and passengers ride in the vehicle. The driver and passengers can directly observe the interior surface, and the interior surface is defined by mounting holes 110.

[0052] The decorative seat 200 is connected to the frame 100 as a separate component. The decorative seat 200 is installed in the mounting hole 110 to conceal the mounting hole 110, thus enhancing the aesthetics of the interior surface. Specifically, the exposed side of the decorative seat 200 is similar in color to the interior surface to better hide it, avoiding any jarring or discordant visual experience for the driver or passengers and improving aesthetics. The decorative seat 200 has an expansion hole 210 for installing an extension piece. The extension piece is directly connected to the expansion hole 210, and its weight is transferred from the decorative seat 200 to the frame 100, which then supports the weight of the extension piece, making the connection of the extension piece more reliable.

[0053] The decorative cover 300 is connected to the decorative seat 200 and has a first state and a second state. The decorative cover 300 is configured such that, in the first state, it covers the expansion hole 210 on the interior surface, thus protecting the expansion hole 210 and enhancing the aesthetics of the interior surface. The color of the exposed side of the decorative cover 300 can be similar to the interior surface color to improve aesthetics, or the exposed side can have a distinct color to highlight its presence, making it easy for users to know its location and use, and to change its state. In the second state, the expansion hole 210 is exposed on the interior surface and can be assembled with an extension component to expand the vehicle's storage space, fully utilizing the space on the vehicle's roof to place long, rod-shaped objects.

[0054] It is understandable that when the decorative cover 300 is in the first state, covering the expansion hole 210 with the decorative cover 300 can protect the expansion hole 210 and make the interior surface of the headliner assembly more beautiful, improving the user's visual comfort; when the decorative cover 300 is in the second state, the expansion component can be fixed to the frame 100 through the expansion hole 210, improving the connection reliability of the expansion component, making the expansion component less likely to fall off, and making the use of the expansion component more reliable.

[0055] Reference Figure 1 As shown, in some specific embodiments of this utility model, the roof assembly includes a plurality of expansion holes 210 distributed sequentially along the front-to-back direction, and / or a plurality of expansion holes 210 distributed sequentially along the left-to-right direction.

[0056] It is understandable that the roof assembly is provided with multiple expansion holes 210, which allows the expansion component to connect to at least two expansion holes 210, increasing the stability of the connection between the expansion component and the expansion holes 210. The connection between the expansion component and the expansion holes 210 is made more reliable by fixing it at multiple positions.

[0057] In this embodiment, each decorative seat 200 has an expansion hole 210, and the headliner assembly includes multiple decorative seats 200, which are sequentially distributed along the front-back direction and / or the left-right direction. In another embodiment, the decorative seat 200 has multiple expansion holes 210, which are sequentially distributed along the front-back direction and / or the left-right direction, and the headliner assembly includes one or more decorative seats 200.

[0058] Specifically, when multiple expansion holes 210 are distributed sequentially along the front-rear direction of the vehicle, the expansion component will be placed along this direction to accommodate long rod-shaped items, such as fishing rods. Generally, the expansion holes 210 are located on the side of the vehicle furthest from the driver's seat; for example, if the driver's seat is on the left side of the vehicle, the expansion hole 210 will be on the right side. Theoretically, the expansion holes 210 can also be located in the middle or on the left side of the vehicle. When multiple expansion holes 210 are distributed sequentially along the left-right direction of the vehicle, the expansion component will be placed along this direction to accommodate long rod-shaped items. Generally, when the expansion holes 210 are distributed along this direction, they are located at the rear of the vehicle, above the rear seats, or between the rear and front seats. The expansion component has hooks or clips. When the expansion component has hooks, the long rod-shaped items are placed directly on the hooks; when the expansion component has clips, the long rod-shaped items are clamped and secured by the clips.

[0059] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the decorative cover 300 is detachably connected to the decorative base 200. The decorative cover 300 is configured such that: in a first state, the decorative cover 300 is connected to the decorative base 200; and in a second state, the decorative cover 300 is separated from the decorative base 200.

[0060] It is worth understanding that the decorative cover 300 is detachably connected to the decorative base 200. The decorative cover 300 can be directly separated from the decorative base 200, thereby exposing the expansion hole 210. When the expansion part is installed in the expansion hole 210, the decorative cover 300 is less likely to interfere with the expansion part, making the installation of the expansion part more convenient.

[0061] In some other embodiments of the present invention, the decorative cover 300 is slidably connected to the decorative base 200. The decorative cover 300 has a first position and a second position. The decorative cover 300 is configured such that: in the first position, the decorative cover 300 is in a first state; and in the second position, the decorative cover 300 is in a second state.

[0062] It is understandable that the decorative cover 300 can slide relative to the decorative base 200. When the decorative cover 300 slides to the second position, it is offset from the expansion hole 210, which is exposed on the interior surface, and the extension piece is installed in the expansion hole 210. Notably, the decorative cover 300 is not directly separable from the decorative base 200, making it less likely to be lost. After removing the extension piece, the user can directly move the decorative cover 300 from the second position on the decorative base 200 to the first position to cover the expansion hole 210, making the use of the decorative cover 300 more convenient.

[0063] In this embodiment, the decorative seat 200 includes two sliding grooves that are substantially parallel to and opposite to the interior surface. The decorative cover 300 is flat, and its two opposite sides are slidably connected to the two sliding grooves. During the movement of the decorative cover 300 along the sliding grooves, the decorative cover 300 has a first position that completely covers the expansion hole 210 and a second position that completely does not cover the expansion hole 210. As another embodiment, the decorative seat 200 is provided with a clearance groove. The projection of the clearance groove onto the interior surface is offset from the projection of the expansion hole 210 onto the interior surface. The decorative cover 300 can move relative to the clearance groove to enter the clearance groove or at least partially lie outside the clearance groove. When at least part of the decorative cover 300 is outside the clearance groove, the decorative cover 300 is in the first position and covers the expansion hole 210. When the decorative cover 300 is in the clearance groove, the decorative cover 300 is in the second position, and the expansion hole 210 is exposed on the interior surface.

[0064] In some other embodiments of the present invention, the decorative cover 300 is rotatably connected to the decorative base 200. The decorative cover 300 has a third position and a fourth position. The decorative cover 300 is configured such that: in the third position, the decorative cover 300 is in a first state; and in the fourth position, the decorative cover 300 is in a second state.

[0065] It is understandable that the decorative cover 300 can rotate relative to the decorative base 200. When the decorative cover 300 slides to the fourth position, it is misaligned with the expansion hole 210, which is exposed on the interior surface. The extension piece is installed in the expansion hole 210. Notably, the decorative cover 300 is not directly separable from the decorative base 200, making it less likely to be lost. After removing the extension piece, the user can directly rotate the decorative cover 300 from the fourth position on the decorative base 200 to the third position to cover the expansion hole 210, making the use of the decorative cover 300 more convenient.

[0066] In this embodiment, the rotation axis of the decorative cover 300 can be substantially perpendicular to the interior surface. The decorative cover 300 rotates in a plane parallel to the interior surface. For example, the projection of the decorative cover 300 onto the interior surface is fan-shaped, and the projection of the movement trajectory of the decorative cover 300 onto the interior surface is a circular or fan-shaped rotation area. The projection of the expansion hole 210 onto the interior surface is located within the rotation area. When the decorative cover 300 rotates within the rotation area, it can rotate until it coincides with the expansion hole 210, thus covering the expansion hole 210, and the decorative cover 300 is in the third position. Alternatively, the decorative cover 300 can rotate until it is misaligned with the expansion hole 210, exposing the expansion hole 210 on the interior surface, and the decorative cover 300 is in the fourth position. As another implementation, the rotation axis of the decorative cover 300 can also be substantially parallel to the interior surface, and the decorative cover 300 can form different angles with the interior surface around the rotation axis, thereby placing the decorative cover 300 in either the third or fourth position.

[0067] Reference Figure 4 As shown, in some specific embodiments of this utility model, the frame 100 includes a mounting surface relative to the interior surface, the decorative seat 200 has a decorative groove 220 defined on the side away from the mounting surface, and the decorative cover 300 is disposed within the decorative groove 220.

[0068] It is understandable that the decorative cover 300, through the decorative groove 220, ensures that the side of the decorative cover 300 exposed on the interior surface is substantially flush with the interior surface, thereby improving the decorative aesthetics of the decorative cover 300. Similarly, the side of the decorative seat 200 furthest from the interior surface is also substantially flush with the interior surface, thus improving the decorative aesthetics of the decorative seat 200. As another implementation, to highlight the position of the decorative seat 200, both the decorative seat 200 and the decorative cover 300 can protrude from the interior surface or be recessed into the mounting hole 110. Likewise, the decorative cover 300 can also protrude outside the decorative groove 220 or be recessed within the decorative groove 220.

[0069] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in some specific embodiments of this utility model, the frame 100 includes a mounting surface relative to the interior surface, the mounting hole 110 connects the interior surface and the mounting surface, the decorative seat 200 includes a fixed bracket 230 disposed on the mounting surface and a decorative shell 240 disposed on the interior surface, the decorative shell 240 is connected to the fixed bracket 230 or the frame 100, the fixed bracket 230 is connected to the frame 100, the fixed bracket 230 defines an expansion hole 210, the decorative shell 240 defines a clearance hole 241 that avoids the expansion hole 210, and the decorative cover 300 is disposed on the side of the decorative shell 240 away from the fixed bracket 230 and connected to the fixed bracket 230.

[0070] It is understandable that the decorative shell 240 not only facilitates the installation of the decorative cover 300, but also makes the interior surface more aesthetically pleasing because the interior surface is limited by the mounting holes 110. If there were only the mounting holes 110, it might affect the aesthetics of the interior surface. By setting the decorative shell 240, the interior surface can be made more beautiful.

[0071] It is worth understanding that the decorative base 200 is assembled from the fixed bracket 230 and the decorative shell 240. The fixed bracket 230 is located on the mounting surface of the frame 100. When the extension is installed in the extension hole 210 of the fixed bracket 230, the fixed bracket 230 applies the weight of the extension to the mounting surface of the frame 100, and the frame 100 as a whole bears the weight of the extension. The connection strength between the frame 100 and the vehicle frame structure is high, and the frame 100 will not deform due to the weight of the extension or the bumps during driving. The frame 100 stably supports the extension and improves the reliability of the extension.

[0072] In this embodiment, the frame 100 generally includes a fabric layer and a base material layer. The fabric layer forms an interior surface, and the base material layer is connected to the side of the fabric layer away from the interior surface. The fabric layer has a first through hole, and the base material layer has a second through hole. The first through hole and the second through hole together form a mounting hole 110. The first through hole and the second through hole can be the same size and aligned with each other to form a through hole with flush inner peripheral walls, or the first through hole and the second through hole can be different sizes to form a stepped hole with uneven inner peripheral walls. For example, the radial section of the first through hole covers the radial section of the second through hole.

[0073] The decorative shell 240 includes a main shell portion 242 and a flange portion 243 connected to and surrounding one end of the main shell portion 242. The main shell portion 242 passes through the mounting hole 110 and is connected to the fixing bracket 230. The flange portion 243 stops against the interior trim surface to limit the installation position of the decorative shell 240. Alternatively, the flange portion 243 is embedded in the fabric layer, covering the mounting hole 110, and the side of the main shell portion 242 away from the mounting surface is flush with the interior trim surface, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the interior trim surface. The fixing bracket 230 is connected to the mounting surface, with a portion of the fixing bracket 230 aligned with the mounting hole 110 and connected to the main shell portion 242. The connection method is varied, including bonding or heat fusion. The clearance hole 241 defined by the main shell portion 242 is a rectangular hole that avoids the expansion hole 210, allowing the expansion component to be connected to the expansion hole 210.

[0074] As another implementation, the decorative shell 240 can also be directly connected to the frame 100. For example, the flange 243 stops on the interior surface, and the decorative shell 240 is directly bonded to the interior surface of the fabric layer through the flange 243. Alternatively, the flange 243 can be embedded in the fabric layer and bonded to the side of the base material layer facing the interior surface. Of course, the decorative shell 240 can also be connected to the frame 100 in other ways, such as by heat fusion, bolt connection, etc.

[0075] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, the decorative base 200 further includes an extension connector, which is disposed on the side of the fixed bracket 230 away from the decorative shell 240. The extension connector is aligned with the extension hole 210 and is used to connect with the extension component.

[0076] In this embodiment, the extension connector is a nut. The extension connector passes through the extension hole 210 and is connected to the nut by a screw. The extension connector and the decorative seat 200 are connected as one unit by a thread. The threaded connection can withstand the bumps during vehicle travel better than the negative pressure adsorption, and is more reliable in use.

[0077] The screw connected to the expansion connector can be a conversion screw. The expansion connector is then connected to the conversion screw to indirectly connect to the expansion connector. The conversion screw is a screw with a groove at one end, the inner wall of the groove has threads, and the outer surface of the other end has threads. The other end can be a rod that extends separately from the main body, or it can be the end of the main body.

[0078] As another implementation, the inner peripheral wall of the expansion hole 210 may be formed with internal threads, and the expansion member may be connected to the expansion hole 210.

[0079] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in some specific embodiments of this utility model, the fixing bracket 230 includes a main body 231, a first connecting part 232, and a second connecting part 233. The main body 231 defines an expansion hole 210. The first connecting part 232 and the second connecting part 233 are located on opposite sides of the expansion hole 210 and are both connected to the main body 231. The decorative cover 300 includes a main cover 310, a third connecting part 320, and a fourth connecting part 330. The third connecting part 320 and the fourth connecting part 330 are disposed opposite to each other and are both connected to the main cover 310. The third connecting part 320 is detachably connected to the first connecting part 232, and the fourth connecting part 330 is detachably connected to the second connecting part 233.

[0080] In this embodiment, the first surface of the main body 231 is connected to the mounting surface, and the second surface of the main body 231 is away from the mounting surface. The first connecting part 232 is a first slot formed on the second surface. The side wall of the first slot is also connected to the inner peripheral surface of the expansion hole 210. The third connecting part 320 includes a first rod connected to the main cover 310 at one end and a snap-fit ​​part connected to the other end of the first rod. The length of the first rod is suitable for the axial depth of the expansion hole 210 so that the snap-fit ​​part can move into the first slot. The snap-fit ​​part is located on the side of the first rod away from the fourth connecting part 330 and extends out of the outer peripheral surface of the first rod in the direction away from the fourth connecting part 330. The snap-fit ​​part is inserted into the first slot from the inner peripheral surface of the expansion hole 210. The side of the snap-fit ​​part facing the main cover 310 abuts against the bottom of the first slot to restrict the snap-fit ​​part from moving in the direction from the mounting surface to the interior surface, thereby realizing the detachable connection between the first connecting part 232 and the third connecting part 320.

[0081] The second connecting part 233 is a second slot formed on the second surface. The sidewall of the second slot is also connected to the inner peripheral surface of the expansion hole 210. The second slot and the first slot are arranged opposite to each other in the expansion hole 210. The fourth connecting part 330 is a cantilever buckle. The fourth connecting part 330 includes a second rod connected to the main cover part 310 at one end and a buckle connected to the other end of the second rod. The buckle is located on the side of the second rod away from the first rod and extends out of the outer peripheral surface of the first rod in the direction away from the first rod. The buckle is engaged in the second slot by the elastic deformation of the second rod, while preventing the engaging part from coming out of the first slot, thus realizing the detachable connection between the decorative cover 300 and the decorative base 200. Specifically, the buckle is a triangular buckle. As another embodiment, the fourth connecting part 330 can also be a U-shaped buckle or a buckle structure of other shapes.

[0082] In addition, a disassembly groove is formed between the decorative cover 300 and the frame 100 on the interior surface. The user can apply an external force to the decorative cover 300 to detach it from the decorative seat 200 through the disassembly groove, so that the buckle part drives the second rod part to deform, the buckle part separates from the second slot, and then the decorative cover 300 on the decorative seat 200 can be removed.

[0083] In another embodiment, the first connecting part 232 and the third connecting part 320 are fixed together with screws, and the second connecting part 233 and the fourth connecting part 330 are fixed together with screws; or, the first connecting part 232 and the third connecting part 320 are snapped together, and the second connecting part 233 and the fourth connecting part 330 are fixed together with screws. The first connecting part 232 and the second connecting part 233 may also be arranged at a certain angle along the circumference of the expansion hole 210, or the fixing bracket 230 may also include a fifth connecting part. The first connecting part 232, the second connecting part 233 and the fifth connecting part are evenly distributed along the circumference of the expansion hole 210. The number and position of the connecting parts of the decorative cover 300 are adapted to the number and position of the connecting parts of the fixing bracket 230, which will not be described in detail here.

[0084] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some specific embodiments of this utility model, the main body 231 is defined with a first connecting hole 234 communicating with the expansion hole 210, and a first connecting part 232 or a second connecting part 233 is provided in the first connecting hole 234.

[0085] In this embodiment, the radial cross-section of the expansion hole 210 is circular, and the radial cross-section of the first connecting hole 234 along the expansion hole 210 is rectangular. The first connecting hole 234 is connected to the expansion hole 210 along the radial direction. The inner peripheral wall of the first connecting hole 234 forms a first groove to facilitate the engagement of the locking part with the first groove, or the inner peripheral wall of the first connecting hole 234 forms a second groove to facilitate the engagement of the locking part with the second groove. The first connecting hole 234 increases the distance between the first connecting part 232 and the second connecting part 233, resulting in a longer distance between the first rod and the second rod, a larger deformation space for the second rod to elastically deform towards the first rod, more design redundancy in the second rod, and greater ease of use.

[0086] In another embodiment, the main body 231 may further define a second connecting hole relative to the first connecting hole 234. The second connecting hole communicates with the inner peripheral surface of the expansion hole 210. The first connecting hole 234 contains one of a first connecting portion 232 and a second connecting portion 233, and the second connecting hole contains the other of the first connecting portion 232 and the second connecting portion 233. Furthermore, the first connecting portion 232 and the second connecting portion 233 may be respectively located on opposite sides of the expansion hole 210.
